Daring Cooks Challenge - Chicken with Curried Tomato Almond Sauce
The July 2010 Challenge was hosted by Margie of More Please and Natashya of Living in the Kitchen with Puppies. They challenged Daring Cooks to make their own nut butter from scratch, and use the nut butter in a recipe. I opted for the almond butter - natch - and made the delicious Indian-scented chicken dish that was adapted from The Food Network's Butter Chicken recipe.
I made further adaptations to the challenge recipe, using almond milk instead of regular, and cutting down on the (real) butter. I also used chicken thighs, as I prefer the tasty meatiness of dark chicken meat, and found it a great foil to the rich sauce.
Chicken with Curried Tomato Almond Sauce
4 servings
2 c raw whole almonds*
1 tbsp olive oil
6 skinless boneless chicken thighs
Salt to taste
½ tbsp garam masala seasoning
1 tsp ground ginger
½ tsp ground cinnamon
¼ tsp black pepper
1 tbsp butter
1 large onion, cut in half lengthwise
1 large garlic cloves, minced
15 oz good quality tomato sauce
⅓ c almond butter
⅓ cup almond milk
½ cup chicken broth or water; more as needed
1 c frozen peas (optional)
Hot basmati rice for serving
Slivered almonds and parsley (optional)
*You will have plenty of almond butter left over. Use it as a healthy alternative to peanut butter, or in protein shakes.
1. Turn on food processor, and slowly add almonds in a steady stream. Grind the nuts in the processor until they form a paste or butter. This will take about 15 to 20 minutes for whole almonds; the skin of whole almonds will leave dark flecks in the butter.
2. Pat chicken thighs dry and sprinkle with a bit of salt and pepper to taste. Heat olive oil a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken; sauté about 5 minutes on each side or until cooked through. Cool slightly, slice chicken thighs; set aside on clean plate and keep warm.
3. Stir garam masala, ginger, cinnamon, and pepper together in a small bowl to make spice blend. Set aside.
4. In the same skillet, melt the butter in large nonstick skillet over medium-low heat. Add the onion and cook gently for several minutes to infuse the butter and oil with onion flavor. Add the spice blend and garlic and cook for 1 minute or till fragrant, stirring constantly. Add the tomato sauce, stir well, and bring to boil. Reduce heat to simmer. Remove onions and discard.
5. Whisk in almond butter and milk until thoroughly combined with tomato sauce. The almond butter is thick so it takes a while to make a smooth sauce. Return to simmer. Add broth (or water) to sauce to reach desired consistency; return to simmer. Add more broth (or water) as needed to thin sauce as desired.
5. Stir frozen peas (if using) into sauce. Transfer sliced chicken to sauce. Simmer gently for a few minutes until peas and chicken are heated through.
6. Serve chicken and sauce over rice. Garnish with chopped parsley and/or sliced almonds if desired.
We neither used the rice nor the garnish, but just had the chicken straight up, with a lovely green salad on the side. Thanks, daring Cooks, for a delicious dinner treat!

The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee on Monday is naming 19 members to the Frontline Program for its most vulnerable incumbents in 2018.
The initial Frontline roster, obtained first by Roll Call, is about half freshman members. Eight members won in districts President Donald Trump carried last fall. And all of them, save for one, are National Republican Congressional Committee initial targets.

*This review contains spoilers if you haven't read The Name of the Star by Maureen Johnson!
Rory Deveaux survived her encounter with London's Jack the Ripper copycat killer but barely. Injured, she leaves Wexford to recuperate in Bristol with her parents. The physical scars heal quickly, but the emotional scars take longer. Her therapist encourages her to talk openly, but how can she say that she sees the souls of dead people without sounding too crazy?
Then there's the little problem that Rory is now a human terminus. When she touches a ghost, she sends it away from the land of the living. Even though she is still trying to come to terms with her new ability, that doesn't stop Stephen from asking her to come back to London to help investigate a new series of murders. He suspects a ghost is involved, which means only Rory can dispatch the shade once and for all.
Meanwhile a mysterious group has approached Rory. They seem to have all the answers about what she can do and are willing to share them with her—only if she leaves behind her family, her friends, as well as Stephen, Callum, and Boo. Is it worth it to go with them? What does she give up if she stays?
The Madness Underneath is Book Two of Maureen Johnson's Shades of London series. Book Three, The Shadow Cabinet, has an unspecified release date.

Financial Optimism on the Rise: How Americans Plan to Spend and Stash Cash in 2013
Financial Optimism on the Rise: How Americans Plan to Spend and Stash Cash in 2013
Americans Resolve to Advance Careers,Save Moreand Savor Life
NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- More Americans (39% vs. 35% in 2012) say they are financially "optimistic" going into 2013, while 10% (vs. 6%) report they are "unconcerned," according to the latest American Express Spending & Saving Tracker. In the New Year, consumers hope to save more, but don't plan to hold on to their wallets too tightly. More people (26% vs. 22% in 2012) plan to boost spending on leisure travel and many hope to spend more on clothes and accessories (28% vs. 23% last year) home redecoration (24% vs. 23%), dinners out (19% vs. 14%) and entertainment (19% vs. 14%). Big ticket purchases include buying a car (26%), house (8%), major household appliance (17%) and undergoing significant home renovations (11%).
Surveyed at the end of December, consumers reported the uptick in optimism and planned spending increases despite pending uncertainty of the Fiscal Cliff negotiations. Seventy-four percent of Americans (87% among affluents) said they were aware of the Fiscal Cliff, and 59% (64% among Affluents) expected the outcome to affect them personally.
Financial Priorities in 2013: The Year to Stash Cash
But while more expect to spend more, Americans still named saving money (57%) as a top intention for 2013, along with spending more time with family/friends (51%) and upping their exercise routine (42%). However, when the survey zoomed in on financial goals, they indicated a shift from last year's priorities. More consumers say finding a job or finding a better job (19% vs. 14% in 2012) is their top financial goal, while last year the top spot was significantly reducing or paying off debt—now number two on the priority list (17% vs. 19%).
Last year, consumers saved an average of $5,906, $1,727 shy of their $7,633 goal. Going into 2013, consumers raised the bar, setting this year's savings goal at an average of $10,893. Affluents are raising it even higher, expecting to save $22,660 in 2013 (vs. $14,445 in 2012). More Americans (89% vs. 82% in 2012) have a strategy to reach their 2013 savings goal, including saving from primary income (51%), 2012 tax returns (26%) and paring back on little luxuries like morning lattes and manicures (23%). Taking optimism one step further 21% of Americans hope to win the lottery.
While more consumers than last year say they are optimistic going into the New Year, Americans are still split when it comes to their financial state of mind. Those who say they feel optimistic (39%), unconcerned (10%) or indulgent (2%) about finances account for just over half of Americans (51%), while the other half says they feel frugal (21%), frightened (14%) and pessimistic (12%).
The Year to: Travel, Even if it Means Going Alone
Consistent with last year, just over half (55%) expect to travel for fun this year. Among affluents, 77% expect at least one leisure trip. Overall, the majority of leisure travelers aren't cutting their travel budgets, as 87% expect to spend more or the same on trips this year. A good amount of that budget will be allocated to airfare, as 74% of leisure travelers (89% among affluents) plan to fly to at least one destination in 2013.
This year's trips aren't as premeditated as last year. As of December, 50% of leisure travelers had planned or booked travel for 2013, down from 57% the same time last year.
The survey also bodes well for kids; more parents (60% vs. 52% in 2012) expect to bring their children along for the ride this year. At the other end of the spectrum, more and more adults plan to forgo travel companions all together. In a growing trend, 12% of travelers expect to travel for fun on their own, up significantly from 7% the year before.
The Year to: Dive into Digital
Digital devices continue to infuse into our daily lives, as more consumers say they'll spend more or the same on items including:
- Televisions (49% vs. 44% in 2012)
- Tablets or e-book readers (48% vs. 42%)
- Video game systems and games (45% vs. 39%)
- Cameras or camcorders (45% vs. 41%)
- Portable media players (44% vs. 38%)
Additionally, almost half of consumers (48%) say they own a smartphone. In addition to phone calls, text messaging, checking email, taking photos and browsing social media, many say they use their smartphones to manage finances on a monthly basis. This includes mobile banking (41%), checking credit card balances (28%), shopping and making purchases (28%), paying bills (27%) and managing investments (11%).
The American Express Spending & Saving Tracker research was completed online among a random sample of 1508 adults, including the general U.S. population, an affluent demographic, defined by a minimum annual household income of $100,000. Interviewing was conducted by Echo Research between December 18 and December 20, 2012. These findings have a margin of error of ± 2.5 percentage points at the 95% level of confidence.

Summer Fitness
As we head into the full summer season, I'm sure many of us would love to feel confident in our beachwear. Allowing yourself a good 4-6 weeks before you head away on your summer hols will give you a really good chance to feel a little more in shape and ready to pop on that 'little red bikini'.
Here's my mini checklist of things you can do to feel fantastic on the beach:
We're going to look at nutrition, perhaps to shed a few pounds, and get your digestion functioning well. Concentrate on areas to tone up. Most of us ladies would love to shape up our legs, bums and tums, so you'll feel on top of the world in the sunshine. And, get your skin in tip top condition.
Nutrition for health
A brilliant way to prepare for the lazy summer days ahead would be to kick start your plan with C9. This always gives me loads of energy and makes me feel fantastic. After your 9 days move onto F15 for the next month or so or until you leave for your holiday.
Focus on eating whole, natural foods with good quality healthy fats, lean protein and carbohydrates.
Make sure you check out the fantastic website www.foreverfituk.co.uk to calculate your BMR and AMR in order to determine your calorific intake, as this is so important when you're aiming to lose a few pounds. I make sure I stimulate my metabolism by eating smaller meals and eating regularly every 3 hours or so.
Check out the F.I.T. booklets for great meal suggestions for breakfast, lunch and dinner including healthy snacks and free foods.
Exercise for shape
Most of us would like to look our best on holiday so please check out the 'Quick Core Workout' in Aloe Matters Issue 15 pages 8/9 or take a look online at foreverliving.com.
Take advantage of the lovely light evenings and warmer weather to do this programme outdoors and better still get a bunch of friends together.
I took a few friends and our children to our local park to do this workout just the other day and we had a blast, using a few workout mats, skipping rope, bands and a medicine ball. This can all be done with pure bodyweight so don't worry if you don't have any equipment. I set up five stations and we worked through the exercises in the 'Aloe Matters' brochure.
We warmed up with a walk/jog for five minutes then a whole body stretch before starting the exercises.You can use this programme in a 'HIIT' style (high intensity interval training) with a work time of 30 seconds to 20 seconds rest and build up to a greater work time whilst reducing rest time. i.e. 40sec/10sec.
Your whole workout will only last around 12 mins or so depending on how many times you go around the circuit. HIIT training has all the benefits of continuous endurance workouts but tends to burrn more fat especially post-exercise. We completed the circuit three times and some of us increased our speed to a 'flat out' pace.
Our cool down session consisted of a walk or jog around the park, before our final stretches. Aim to do this programme 3 or 4 times a week and you'll certainly start to see some changes in tone and shape.
Skin well prepared
We all want to have beautiful looking, smooth skin and we have just the products. I love to use our aloe scrub three to four times a week all over the face and body. Along with Relaxation massage lotion, this leaves my skin feeling smooth and moisturised.
Another favourite of mine is the wonderful products in our Forever Body Wraps, I use these at least once a week leading up to holidays for my legs, bum & tum to get rid of excess fluid.
Finally a few top tips to help it all run along smoothly and to ensure you hold onto that hard earned new body while you're away.
Top Tips for on holiday
- Continue to make healthy food choices daily - lots of fresh fruits, vegetables and good quality lean proteins.
- Drink lots of water.
- Reduce your alcohol if you have reintroduced it, or choose lower calorie options, like spirits & low calorie mixers, rather than beers and wines.
- Take every opportunity to exercise around your holiday accommodation as part of your holiday - lots of walking! Enjoy fresh air and a lack of 'workday stress'
- If you, like me need to continue to train while away then use 'bands' instead of weights as these are easy and light to pack…. Remember your trainers!
- Keep exfoliating & moisturize well to hold onto your tan for much longer.
- Remember to use your Aloe Sunscreen everyday to protect your skin from harmful sun rays. Limit your time in the high midday sun.
I hope this has been useful in giving you a mini plan to jump into action for your summer holidays

Yesterday Belkin unveiled four new routers that are designed to be simple enough for anyone to install them. Yes, that's right, anyone. Apparently with their previous generation of products the company only had a 30% successful installation rate (people installing the router without needing technical help), these routers were said to push that number past 70%.
The four new routers are the Surf, Share, Play, and Play Max. As you can tell from the names, the indecipherable "WRTs" and other product codes have been replaced with intention-based names. The Surf is the most basic (you know, for people who just want to surf the web), then comes the Share, and then Play (as in playing music, videos, and games) and finally the Play Max. All three are wireless N routers, though there are performance gains as you move up the ladder. The Surf is your basic 802.11n router, the Share is the play with a USB port, the Play throws in dual-band, and the Play Max gets a gigabit switch and a second USB slot.
The differences from one to the next also involves the included software, which plays a more prominent role than ever. Each router works with a different software package that includes more apps as you upgrade. The Surf just has Self-Healing (automatically detects and fixes problems), while the Share adds in wireless printing and the ability to backup to a hard drive connected to its USB slot. The Play have a Music Labeler, which cleans up the metadata in your iTunes or Windows Media Player library, as well as Music Mover which easily gets your media on DLNA devices. Finally the Play Max has all the stuff previously mentioned but also has a BitTorrent client (based on Vuze) and Bit Boost (QOS controls).
As for that easier-than-ever installation, users can still just install the router the old-fashioned way (192.168…) now you can connect straight to wireless if you'd like because the router comes with an SSID and a label on the bottom telling you how to connect to it right out of the box. Also the routers comes with the cables already plugged in, so networking beginners have one less thing to worry about.
The routers should be available in early April 2010. Pricing is as follows: Surf: $49.99; Share $79.99; Play: $99.99; Play Max: $129.99.
Sal's Opinion
I'm trying not to drink too much go the easy-to-use Kool-Aid, but Belkin seems to be on to something here. Routers are often a pain to install even if you have networking experience, and they can be a major problem for casual users who want to do anything more advanced than get on the internet. Belkin's goal is to get people up and running without them ever having to worry about the difference between TKIP and AES. Plus it avoids the whole issue of WPS, which was supposed to make networking easier, but never panned out. So, if I had to recommend a router to a beginner, I think Belkin has a definite edge.
Advanced users might see all this as being unnecessary, but it can all be avoid all the extras if you'd like. These routers don't lose anything from the previous generation, and the Play Max (despite it's non-technical name) is still Belkin's highest end consumer router. Yes, you'll have an extra piece of software running all the time but it's probably one that will come in handy. After all, just because you know about networking doesn't mean you like to deal with networking issues.

Two New York Agencies adopt Spillman's data sharing solutions
WATERTOWN, New York – June 8, 2010 – Agencies in New York are increasing efficiency with new software from Spillman Technologies.
Jefferson County Public Safety is adopting a new software system that will enable personnel to view comprehensive agency statistics and simplify jail management.
"We're extremely excited about the Spillman product," said Joseph Plummer, Jefferson County Public Safety Director of Fire and Emergency Management. "We've had ongoing training, and the whole implementation process has been a great experience."
Spillman's CompStat Dashboard module calculates trends and patterns using information in the Spillman database, and then presents the information in an easy-to-analyze format, giving the agency the ability to quickly spot trends, make informed decisions, and monitor the day-to-day health of its organization.
Using Spillman's Jail Management module, Jefferson County Public Safety will have the ability to ensure consistent inmate processing by using the step-by-step booking feature. Customizable risk and medical assessments help accurately evaluate each inmate.
The county also purchased Spillman's Records Management, Resources, Computer-Aided Dispatch, Fire/EMS, and Mobile solutions.
In Ithaca, the Cornell University Police Department plans to use Spillman software to help officials compile data about campus crimes and track criminal incidents on a pin map. The agency patrols a 745-acre campus that is home to more than 20,000 students.
Spillman's Mobile solution will enable agency personnel to instantly access critical records data and communicate in real time with agency personnel from the field using their vehicles' laptop computers.
The Cornell University Police Department is also adopting Spillman's Records Management, Computer-Aided Dispatch, Fire/EMS, and Resources solutions.
Both agencies plan to go live with their Spillman systems in June. They will join more than 800 public safety agencies in 36 states already using Spillman software.
Spillman Technologies is a public safety software provider headquartered in Salt Lake City, serving police departments, sheriff's offices, communications centers, fire departments, and correctional facilities nationwide.
Spillman specializes in integrated software solutions, including CAD, RMS, Mobile Data & Field Reporting, Mapping & GIS, Crime Analysis & CompStat, JMS, Fire, Data Sharing, and Personnel & Resources.

Pollux, otherwise known as Beta Geminorum, is the 17th brightest star in the sky, prominent in evening skies from late fall through spring each year. It is ideally placed for viewing in March, when you'll find this star highest in the sky during the evening hours as seen from around the globe. Follow the links below to learn more about the star Pollux in the constellation Gemini.
History and mythology of Pollux.
How to see the star Pollux. As seen from latitudes like those in the U.S., Pollux and its nearby companion, Castor, pass high overhead. There are no bright stars immediately around them, which makes them stand out and easy to identify. They are noticeable for being bright and close together, and so are often referred to as twin stars.
However, there are plenty of bright stars in this general area of the sky. A line drawn from Regulus in Leo to Capella in Auriga passes near Pollux and Castor. Similarly, a line drawn from Rigel through Betelgeuse in Orion, and extending perhaps three times the distance between them also passes near Gemini's twins.
Pollux is a yellowish color, while Castor is white with perhaps a tinge of pale blue. One other way to distinguish which is which is to notice that Pollux is slightly brighter than Castor.
Pollux is opposite the sun (opposition) on about January 15. This means that it is rising as the sun sets, and reaches its highest point at about local midnight. This situation is called a "midnight culmination," and marks the time when the star crosses the meridian, an imaginary line drawn from due north, through the zenith overhead, down to the horizon due south, at midnight. Traditionally the night of midnight culmination is considered the best time for observation because it is the time when the star is in the sky all night long. However, you can easily see Pollux in the evening as early as early each year as mid-October, when it rises in the northeastern sky before midnight (daylight savings time).
From central Alaska, northern Canada and parts of Scandinavia northward, Pollux is circumpolar.
Pollux science. Pollux is classified as a "K0IIIb" star. The K0 means that it is somewhat cooler than then sun, with a surface color that is a light yellowish orange. (Keep in mind that the color a star appears depends significantly on the sensitivity of the observer's eyes, and that color is difficult to discern with most point sources.) The "III" is a "luminosity" class designator, indicating basically how much energy it is putting out, which is largely dependent on size. A type-III star is considered a "normal" giant or just a giant. Finally, the "b" indicates that Pollux is slightly below the average luminosity for this class.
A relatively close 34 light-years away, Pollux is about 31 times as bright as our sun in visible light, but Pollux also pumps out a good bit of energy in non-visible infrared radiation. With all forms of radiation counted, Pollux is about 46 times more energetic than our sun. According to Dr. James Kaler, Pollux is just under 10 times the diameter of the sun, making it a little less than 8 million miles across, and not quite twice the solar mass.
Although Castor, its fellow star as seen on Earth's sky dome, is only a couple dozen light years from it, Pollux has no true gravitational companion star that we know of.
However, a large planet, at least 2.3 times the mass of Jupiter, was confirmed in 2006 to be orbiting Pollux. This planet, Pollux b, is not likely to harbor intelligent life, but at 34 light-years distance, it is one of the nearest of the 760 extrasolar planets discovered. Pollux b is orbiting Pollux with a period of about 590 days.
History and mythology of Pollux The Greek letter Beta is normally reserved for the second-brightest star in a constellation. But, as with Rigel in Orion, Pollux wears the designation Beta in its constellation, even though it noticeably outshines Castor, which is Gemini's Alpha star. Being so close together in the sky, Castor and Pollux are easy to compare. If you look, you'll agree. Pollux is brighter.
It is possible that one or both stars have altered in brightness since German astronomer Johann Bayer assigned the designation about 300 years ago. Another explanation is that Bayer sometimes labeled the stars in their order of rising. Here Castor rises slightly before Pollux, and hence Castor, the dimmer star, received the Alpha label. This explanation also fits for Betelgeuse and Rigel in Orion, as viewed from the latitude of Germany, because the Alpha star, Betelgeuse, rises slightly before the truly brighter star, Rigel. However, there is a geographical dependency here. From some locations south of the Equator, both Rigel and Pollux rise first.
The name Pollux is of Greek origin and apparently refers to a boxer. The original Greek word seems at odds with this idea, however, as it apparently means "very sweet," which may allude to the legendary warm and fraternal relationship between the two brothers.
In Greek mythology, Pollux was one of two brothers who figured prominently among Jason's argonauts. By most accounts, they were sons of Leda, Queen of Sparta, but Castor had a mortal father and hence was mortal himself. Pollux was the son of Zeus and immortal. Pollux also had a famous sister, Helen of Troy.
There are many variants to the story of Castor and Pollux, but, by most accounts, Castor was killed in battle and Pollux could not bear to live without him and begged Zeus to let him die, too. Zeus could not grant the gift quite as asked, since Pollux was a god's son and therefore immortal. But Zeus decreed that Pollux would spend every other day in Olympus with the gods, and the rest of the time in the underworld with his brother. To honor Pollux' devotion, Zeus placed their constellation in the sky as a remembrance.
Pollux and Castor are also sometimes identified with Apollo and Hercules or with the founders of Rome, the brothers Romulus and Remus.
While in many cultures they were the twins, India they were the Horsemen, and in Phoenicia they were the two gazelles or two kid-goats. It is said that in China they were associated with Yin and Yang, the contrasts and complements of life. In all of these cases, they represent two of something – and you will see why if you gaze upon these two stars in the sky, which are bright and close to each other.
Pollux's position is RA: 7h 45m 20s, dec: +28° 01′ 35″.

With Australia's defeat to Pakistan, all teams have been beaten in this WC. So really, no favorites. And also, what was initially prophesiced to be a dull initial round, has in fact proven to be wrong atleast in group B, thanks in no small measure to England
Group A was a disappointment, the only games really taking it to the brink being SL vs Pak and Aus vs Pak. SL vs Aus promised much but was cut short.
But Group B has been a different story. England has been Pakistanesque, burning into cinders when shining bright, and rising from the ashes pheonixlike when everyone had written them off. Windies have been quite an enjoyable package and have been much better than their previous versions in the last decade's world cups. India has been India, chugged along exposing their frailities but equally amplifying their strengths as well. SA has been a revealation, with a "complete" array of spinners and batsmen who can actually play in the subcontinent.
I would say this WC so far has been really enjoyable, perhaps the most enjoyable in my viewing history. No juggernauts, no walkovers, etc. Even the minnows have pulled in their upsets as well and made it interesting, without really affecting the mood or following of the tournament as a whole.

This was my third and final dispatch from the climate conference. It follows up on a piece written the day before for TNR. A colleague forwarded along evidence that supported my central thesis: businesses have mixed motives about climate change and, as such, should be kept a safe distance from the climate negotiations. Unfortunately, that distance is being increasingly diminished.
CANCUN, Mexico — Most observers agree that the Cancun deal is a tremendous achievement for UN climate process and a testament to the dogged diplomacy of the tireless Mexican hosts. After reaching what was a seemingly impassable divide over the future of the Kyoto Protocol, negotiators worked into the early hours this morning to produce two compromise texts that were agreed upon by all but the Bolivian delegation.
All that has been widely reported. What has been less discussed in the growing influence of large multinational corporations over the UN climate process. This is, as I wrote yesterday for The New Republic, "cause for concern." Because businesses are quarterly-driven entities beholden primarily to their investors – not the long-term public interest – it isdangerous to allow them a prominent role in the climate negotiations. This risk was made evident by a letter Greenpeace uncovered shortly after the story was published.
While the government of Mexico worked hard to include corporations in the climate protection discussion that occurred here over the past two weeks, some big businesses used the platform they provided to push their narrow self interests. Shell was a particularly dishonest actor. On Wednesday its executive vice-president Graeme Sweeney joined Mexican Secretary of Economy Bruno Ferrari at a panel sponsored by the national development agency to discuss the role the private sector can play in preventing catastrophic climate change.
"Sweeney used every opportunity to emphasize the importance of funding R&D for carbon capture and sequestration—a promising but completely unproven technology to reduce emissions from coal plants," I wrote of the event. "While Shell's commitment to climate action is nice, it also seems to be a glorified form of lobbying."
But, as I learned later, pushing for dubious solutions to the climate crisis wasn't the only thing the oil company was doing to undermine the negotiations. Click here to read the rest of this UN Dispatch post or to make a comment.

Happy New Year to all my subscribers!
Hunting Kiwis has had 21,683 visits since launcing in October 2010 and we are now seeing around 2,000 visits each month. We're happy so many have had the opportunity to see their ancestors' final resting place and many of you have requested photographs in return for generous donations – thank you.
I thought I ought to sneak in a January post before the first month of 2012 slips away. I've been busy looking at ways to improve the blog and, if you head over to the Cust cemetery listing, you'll see what's new… full headstone images, just as some of you requested. It will take some time to update all the listings while adding new ones, so bear with me!
I hope 2012 sees you all advance your family history research and, if you think there's something I should include on Hunting Kiwis or have ideas on how the site can be improved, don't hesitate to contact me or leave a comment on the blog.
Happy Hunting!

Video: Go with the flow in Venice
HEAVY rains and seas whipped up by strong winds have flooded Venice and brought the lagoon city's high tide mark to its sixth-highest level since records began 150 years ago.
The same weather system that put 70pc of central Venice under water on Sunday was wreaking havoc elsewhere in north and central Italy, with some 200 people evacuated from their homes in hard-hit Tuscany.
Flooding is common in Venice at this time of year and the high tide mark of 150 cms marked the sixth highest level since 1872.
Moveable barriers that would rise from the sea bed to protect Venice from high tides have been in the works for years – but these will not be operational before 2014.

You see, I know that God does not cause suffering. I KNOW this to the very core of my being. So I don't understand why I am so angry with him. I went to the Congo knowing it was going to be bad. I knew there were people dying there. I knew that there were children starving there. I knew that people there were desperate and suffering beyond anything my privileged American self could comprehend. But seeing it...seeing it broke something in me. Seeing it made me question almost everything I know. It goes back to the age old question of "why do bad things happen to good people?" But it is more than that. You see, I know that bad things happen to good people all the time. And I know that God works through those situations. I've seen it happen. But I just don't get how he can let it happen to an entire nation. Or an entire continent, for that matter. Thus, the crisis of faith.
I've talked to God- or more accurately I should say that I've yelled at him about this. I just don't get why God doesn't "do" something about it. I don't get the "why". Why so many helpless children have to die. Why so many people have to be in despair. I looked at those girls dying in the orphanage and I get mad at God, because I see that he so easily could have done something about it. I get that we are here on Earth to be his hands and feet. But there we were being his hands and feet at that exact place and time and those girls were still going to die! I don't get it. Surely, God in his infinite wisdom, has a plan for all of that, but it is eating at me that he hasn't shared it with me. How selfish of me. I know that He is calling others to do things about the suffering in the world and they are ignoring him. What is your excuse? Money? Inconvenience? Selfishness? Ignorance?
I have known all along that our journey to Miles is just a tiny part of the big picture for how the Congo will impact the rest of my life. I know that God has broken my heart for this place for a reason. I know that he revealed to me that Miles was out there waiting for us, so that the rest of this journey could begin. But now that Miles is home I have no idea what to do. We are here living our happy lives, while the suffering continues.
I've asked God, "Now what" and "Why" a hundred times in the last few weeks. Nothing. I know that he is giving me time to enjoy my precious little Congolese miracle, but it would be nice for him to say, "Okay Megan, I am going to give you 6 months to breath. Then I want you to do x,y and z." I know that x,y, and z are out there, waiting for me to do them, I just wish I knew what they were. I have often heard that sometimes God doesn't show you the next step, until you've taken the first step. Well... we took that first step. Now what? My brain is swimming with ideas but there is no direction and I am getting tired of waiting. The only thing I do know is that we are not supposed to go and live in Congo. I know this because Kamron said, "No absolutely not, Megan. Put that idea out of your mind right this minute!" So- I feel like if that was part of it, then God would have called us both, since we are kind of a packaged deal. (Did anyone else just hear my Mom and Dad breath a big ol' sigh of relief?)
So I guess I'll keep waiting. And trying not to be so mad at God. I'll try not to hold him responsible for the suffering. I'll try not to put the list of dying people on my list of grievances against him. I know those losses hurt him. Those are his children. I guess I should also add to my list that he'll take the anger out of my heart. And maybe, just maybe, I should also pray for...patience.

Illinois Legislature to Take Up Pension Proposal in Early December
The Illinois Legislature will convene during the first week of December for a special session to decide on a remedy to the state's $100 billion pension crisis, reports StateTrack's Alex Manuel Moya. The House will hold committees sessions on Dec. 2 and likely move to floor action on Dec. 3. The Senate may return on Dec. 3 and 4.
A conference call was held last week between House Speaker Michael Madigan, Senate President John Cullerton and other key lawmakers over a proposal that could save Illinois $150 billion over the next three decades. The plan, which originated from a series of guidelines devised by a bipartisan pension panel a few months earlier, would reduce employee contributions and replace retirees' 3 percent annual compounded cost-of-living increase with one that's half the inflation rate.

SANDY, Utah – Real Salt Lake (2-0-2, 8 points, West #2) stayed unbeaten on the 2014 MLS regular season on Saturday night, getting a pair of goals from FW Alvaro Saborio to power past previously perfect Toronto FC (2-1-0, 6 points, East #4) 3-0 at Rio Tinto Stadium.
Saborio got RSL on the board early, opening the scoring with an 11th minute penalty kick. RSL MF Luis Gil made it 2-0 in the 28th before Saborio closed out the scoring with a 55th minute strike. Toronto came close to scoring on several occasions, but couldn't slip anything by RSL GK Nick Rimando, who now has 110 career regular season shutouts, just two shy of the all-time MLS record currently held by retired GK Kevin Hartman.
Saborio put RSL on the board in the 11th minute, slotting a penalty kick past Toronto GK Julio Cesar and into the lower right corner. Saborio earned the spot kick in the 10th minute. A RSL player rolled a pass toward the Costa Rican international in the top right side of the box and he quickly turned to goal before being taken down inside the area by TFC DF Doneil Henry.
The Claret-and-Cobalt nearly made it 2-0 in the 26th minute. FW Olmes Garcia got free on the right side, whipping a cross into the middle from the flank. Saborio couldn't quite connect with it at the near post, and the ball rolled through to MF Ned Grabavoy at the far bar. Grabavoy would've had a great look at goal, but couldn't connect with the cross, slipping at the wrong moment and allowing the ball bounced by.
Gil doubled RSL's advantage in the 28th. He and MF Javier Morales started the move, beautifully stringing together several short passes through the middle of Toronto's third before Morales tapped a ball out to the left flank. Saborio dummied the pass, letting it roll through his legs and into space. RSL DF Chris Wingert gratefully ran onto it, smashing a 15-yard left-footer with his first touch. Wingert's effort was blocked by a TFC defender, rebounding directly to Gil in the right side of the area. The 20-year-old U.S. international took it from there, hitting a first-touch left-footer past two TFC players and Cesar and into the back of the net.
RSL DF Nat Borchers made a fine play to deny TFC Designated Player Jermain Defoe a chance in first half stoppage time. The English international collected a ball outside the box, slaloming into the area and winding up for what would've been a dangerous shot before Borchers stepped in with a nicely timed tackle.
Real Salt Lake bossed the start of the second half, and nearly added a third in the 53rd minute. Morales picked up a ball on the left wing, curling a cross in out of the corner. Garcia got on the end of it at the near post, controlling it on the hop before seeing his half-volley blocked by a Toronto defender.
Toronto FC came agonizingly close a minute later, when MF Michael Bradley hit the post with a shot from distance. The American international picked up a loose ball in the center of RSL's third, striking a low right-footer off the left post from 25 yards.
Saborio made it 3-0 in the 55th. Morales collected a pass from RSL Captain Kyle Beckerman in the middle of TFC's half, chipping a ball over the top to Saborio. The Costa Rican international raced onto it at the top of the 18, using his first touch to hit the bouncing ball past Cesar, off of the right post and in.
Toronto turned it on after Saborio made it 3-0, registering a trio of chances in the 57th minute. FW Gilberto had the first look, hitting a shot from distance that Rimando held. Defoe had the next chance, picking up a ball at the top of the 18 and rifling an effort just wide of the left post. Henry had the best opportunity, powering a header of a Bradley corner just over the bar from the top of the six.
Garcia had an opportunity in the 69th minute. The Colombian striker ran onto a Morales chip just inside the area, stretching out his right leg in an attempt to flick the ball past an onrushing Cesar. Garcia couldn't quite reach it however, and was called for a foul after a nasty collision with Cesar.
Rimando preserved the clean sheet with a big stop in the 77th minute. Toronto DF Justin Morrow got free on the left flank, hitting a low cross into the area from the end line. Rimando had to scramble to keep the curling ball out, reaching back to his right to paw the ball down before reeling it in off the line.
Bradley had a big chance in the 81st, when he collected a loose ball in the right side of the area before unleashing a right-footer that flashed just over the bar. That was the last clear look of the night for Toronto FC, which allowed RSL several half chances in the dying moments.
Real Salt Lake will return to action next Saturday, traveling to Kansas City for a MLS Cup 2013 rematch against Sporting Kansas City. Next Saturday's match will kick at 6:30 p.m. MT and will be broadcast live on ABC 4, ESPN 700 AM and 102.3 La Gran D FM. RSL won't return home until Saturday, April 19, when it will host Portland Timbers in a rematch of the 2013 Western Conference Final. Tickets to the Portland match can be purchased at the Rio Tinto Stadium box office, online at www.RealSaltLake.com/Tickets or over the phone at 801-727-2700.

RSL now has a 6-1-0 home record against the Canadian side, with tonight's victory marking the Claret-and-Cobalt's sixth-consecutive home win against Toronto. Real Salt Lake is 11-1-1 at home against Canadian teams across all competitions.

The RSL trio will return to Salt Lake City following Wednesday's game; all three players will be available for selection for next Saturday's MLS Cup 2013 rematch at Sporting Kansas City.
- U.S. Men's National Team Manager Jurgen Klinsmann was in attendance at Rio Tinto Stadium on Saturday to get a first-hand look at Beckerman, Rimando, Gil, Toronto FC's U.S. international Michael Bradley and RSL USMNT hopefuls Tony Beltran and Chris Schuler.
- RSL FW Alvaro Saborio continued his fine run of form tonight, notching a brace to give him three goals in his last two games. His two goals marked his 16th multi-goal game for RSL across all competitions. Saborio scored his first goal of the season in RSL's 1-1 draw with LA Galaxy in the Claret-and-Cobalt's home opener last weekend. The 32-year-old now has a total of 55 goals in 101 regular season games and 71 goals in 119 matches across all competitions for RSL. RSL is now 37-6-11 in all competitions when Saborio scores.
- Saborio's penalty kick conversion in the 11th minute makes him 12-for-13 from the spot in regulation MLS action.

Gil has a total of nine goals for the Claret-and-Cobalt in MLS regular season play.
- Tonight marked RSL veteran goalkeeper Nick Rimando's 110th MLS career shutout. Rimando is now two shutouts away from tying the all-time record held by retired GK Kevin Hartman with 112.

- RSL DF Rich Balchan made his RSL debut tonight, subbing on for DF Chris Wingert in the 58th minute. Balchan did not appear in any first-team games for RSL in his first season with the club in 2013, missing most of the year due to a shoulder injury.
- RSL FW Devon Sandoval made his first appearance of 2014 tonight, entering the match in the 84th minute for FW Olmes Garcia. Sandoval had missed the start of the season recovering from a foot injury suffered in preseason.
- RSL DF Chris Wingert left tonight's match in the 58th minute as a precaution against injury.

text: Depending on circumstances, I am thinking about trying to transfer from University of Tennessee to Vanderbilt. Tennessee I a high T2 school, currently ranked 52, and I also got into Baylor and University of Florida (from out of state), both low T1 schools. I only got a 158 on the LSAT. Do y'all think it would be possible to transfer to Vandy on grades alone, or will I need to retake the LSAT? I'm only asking now because if I need to retake the LSAT, I need to start working on it now--I have a very hard time with standardized tests.

Beijing's beloved charity and dining event, Chi Fan for Charity (CFFC) is normally held annually in November, but this time, they're back for a mid-year premiere event, bringing Napa Valley Vintners in town to host a very special dining event on Friday, April 19th.
Originally founded by Michael Crain, CFFC has been running 4 years strong (most recently, CFFC 2012 raised over RMB 400,000 to support Little Flower Projects and The Starfish Project), this is the second year they are hosting a collaboration between CFFC and Napa Valley Vintners for a spectacular dining experience for a worthy cause, but this time with a twist.
Instead of 40 separate restaurants each sponsoring a table of ten seats with all proceeds going to charity, Temple Restaurant Beijing (TRB) has generously offered up their entire restaurant (a grand total of 120 seats), meaning that they will close their doors to the public (on a Friday night!) and dedicate their entire venue and restaurant team to serve the charitable foodies of CFFC.
