On 31 July, I joined a panel of speakers at the Indian Summer Literary Festival in Somerset which kicked off with a discussion on Afghanistan and the terror threat emanating from the wider South Asia region. The discussion, chaired by historian Charles Allen (author of the must-read "God's Terrorists"), was led by General Sir Michael Rose, LSE Professor Emeritus Lord Meghnad Desai and author Pankaj Mishra. The result was a sobre and chilling insight into the regional threat the Taliban poses as well as the spread of their ideology beyond the Indo Af-Pak region and even as far as Britain itself. The day's events included discussions with authors Kishwar Desai on her new thriller and Nancy Shields giving an entertaining presentation on English society lady Henrietta Clive's journey around India in the 1790s, with readings from the "Four Weddings" actress Anna Chancellor. The event was organised by Lady Theresa Waugh for the Gardners' Memorial School Trust in India.

I'll be giving a talk on my book "The Last Jews of Kerala" at the National Portrait Gallery's Contemporary Literary Festival on 15 March 2010 at 7pm in the Ondaatje Wing Theatre. Do take a look at the line-up which is focusing on Asian literature this year. See the link
March 1 2009: Jewish Book Week
On 1 March at 2pm, Edna Fernandes and fellow author Sophie Judah discussed the history of India's Jewish Diaspora and its decline in numbers as part of the Jewish Book Week Literary Festival in London's Bloomsbury. The discussion ranged from the internal conflict of those Jews who left India for Israel as well as the story of the racial divide that plagued Kerala's Jews for four centuries.
Dec 16 2008: Frontline Club debate on Mumbai attacks
The Frontline Club in London is hosting a reactive debate to the Mumbai terrorist attacks on 16th December 2008 at 7pm. I will be joining a panel including David Loyn (BBC) and Vikram Dodd (Guardian), chaired by Owen Bennett Jones (BBC).
What will these attacks mean for the ongoing "war on terror" and will India now be seen as a soft target? Will deteriorating relations between Pakistan and India be brought closer by a new co-operation to work together in the aftermath of the attacks and a joint desire to bring the perpetrators to justice? Or will these attacks simply fuel the existing tensions between these two nuclear powers?

Lord Mayor's ceremony at Neath, West Glamorgan, Wales.
Various shots of Lord Mayor (of Neath?) with aldermen, magistrates and other local dignitaries posing for camera on some steps.
Various shots of procession following a brass band down a crowed lined street. Many men wear medals and carry regimental / British Legion flags - probably war veterans parade to mark Armistice Day. The ex-servicemen are followed by boy scouts, girl guides, more brass bands, a troop of policemen (many also wear medals). The dignitaries and mayor walk at end of parade. More general shots of procession.
Various shots of dignitaries and mayor coming out of church. Low angled shot of church spire, tilt down to crowds in street.

The Tea Party and Conservatives make a very big deal about how the framers of the U.S. Constitution intended the federal government to be "limited"'; problem is, the Conservatives never define what they mean by "limited". Does it simply mean the limits built in by the checks and balances, or, something more sweeping?
sort by best latest
I think it refers to the government being under the control of the people instead of the people being under the control of the government. Our government was not designed to run the country and micro-manage the people. The leaders in our government forgot that they are not our bosses, we are theirs and they do not have the right to micro-manage anyone. The problem is that the government got so big that the people lost control of what was a great system with checks and balances. Now, due to the size of government, they are in our everyday lives with regulation after regulation and the leaders assume that they can do no wrong and we can not call them out on their mistakes or misdirection of the country. We the people are still the boss and we the people will once again reduce the size of the government to where the people have the full control and we will remind members of Congress and the Senate, as well as the Presidency that they can be replaced and they will be replaced if they do not do what "We the people" of the United States of America want and need. They do not get to decide that, we do! That is what "limited" is.
"limited" is beneficial for them and disadvantageous for the rest of us.They are more about tactics rather than principle.

Cult Shop A Rhode Island store whose extraordinary products are guaranteed to tickle your funny bone.
Appealing to the 'kid in everyone', Oop! offers fun Americana
David Riordan recently ran away and joined the circus - a fact that would surprise no one familiar with Oop!, the eclectic and playful Rhode Island home furnishing and gift store that Riordan and his wife, Jennifer Neuguth, founded in 1990. Sponsoring and helping to organise Circus Smirkus - a traditional big-top event featuring young performers who learnt to juggle, clown, and fly on the trapeze at a Vermont summer camp - was a "natural fit" for a store whose employees are called Oopsters.
"The underlying theme at Oop! is fun," says Riordan. "There's a sense of humour involved in a lot of our products: they're meant to tickle the funny bone and be appreciated in the home." The two Oop! stores-cum-galleries - one in the heart of Providence's downtown arts and entertainment district on Westminster Street, the other in suburban South County - are chock-a-block with quirky furniture, jewellery, toys, and other handmade creations from contemporary US artists, many from the New England region. Customers can spend US$1 on a simple trinket or $5,000 on an intricately carved and brightly painted piece of Sticks furniture from the acclaimed Woodstock, NY, artist Sarah Grant, who details all of her work with inspirational sayings and whimsical images.
Made of American hardwood, the Sticks line of bookcases, tables, trunks, beds and other home furnishings is one of the most enduringly popular offerings at Oop! "It's extraordinary furniture, built to last and be loved," says Riordan, who notes that 60 per cent of all Sticks purchases are custom-ordered to match the themes and interests of buyers. "One of my favourite things to do is to work with customers on furniture that will be passed down from generation to generation."
Gold and silver jewellery from the San Francisco artist Jeanine Payer is also a longtime favourite at Oop!; each earring, necklace, ring and bracelet is inscribed with passages of published and unpublished poetry. Payer's work appeals to Oop!'s target audience of 30- to 50-year-old women. However, the store is especially popular with college students, some them the children of those who patronised the store when Riordan and Neuguth - just out of school themselves at the time - opened the original boutique on Thayer Street near Brown University and the University of Rhode Island.
Nearly two decades later, Oop!, which stands for Out of Providence!, has become a local institution and a key supporter and component of the city's cultural scene. It co-sponsors the annual Providence Art Festival and partners with local theatres, one of which last month held a special performance of Cabaret at Oop!. A website, Oopstuff.com, brings the Oop! aesthetic to customers from all around the world, and Oop! even collaborates with international companies like Fidelity Investments on custom-designed gifts for employee anniversaries and incentive programmes.
Yet Riordan and Neuguth remain committed to their original vision for the store: a few years ago they closed a lucrative branch in the upmarket Providence Place Mall, for example, because they felt they were losing touch with the artists and craftspeople who have been their partners from the beginning. "People come in to Oop! to be inspired creatively," says Riordan. "A sense of fun transcends age, and I think we bring out the kid in everyone."

Should Christians Witness Loudly
Culties, new agers, universalists are voicing their beliefs loudly, how should the Christian witness? How should a Christian say NO to error and false doctrines?

We should witness boldly. Jesus sure was not quiet; He really gave it to them. When saying "no" to error and false doctrines, be prepared for people to get their backs right up and lash out at you.
on 11/18/06
It does not matter how loud you do it, as long as you get the message through
on 11/16/06
Okebaram, I can see there's a communication breakdown between us and I apologize for that. Please show me where I said that people only get saved when they are ministered to people they know? I said "I've brought many to Christ by befriending them first versus walking up to a stranger. I am NOT refusing to understand your statement. I AGREE WHOLEHEARTEDLY with you. Why so defensive? I love you dearly in Christ. I am agreeing with you. I repent in sackcloth and ashes. Please forgive me.
on 10/26/06
Donna, I said you should do both, but from your previous response, it seems you are advocating elimination of speaking to strangers. Don't you say that people only get saved when they are ministered to by people they know. Don't you even say that. You are the one who refuses to understand my simple statement which is that you should not ONLY evangelize to a person after you have known them because you can ALSO help people who you cannot befriend.
on 10/25/06
Okebaram - you're statement is very confusing and I'm sorry but I'm not arguing over numbers of people I've meet. I'm simply stating that I've brought many to Christ by befriending them first versus walking up to a stranger and talking to them. The "cold turkey" ones I've witnessed to were not drawn to Jesus because they did not know me and I was a stranger to them. The ones I befriended knew me and WANTED to know Jesus. What's so hard to understand about that? Everyone else seems to.
on 10/24/06
Donna, God is a God of the imposssible: so? Is everyone saved? God needs you to wisely 'sell' this commodity (salvation) on earth. So are you trying to say that the sum of the number of people you befriended AND those who you met but couldn't befriend is less that the number of people you befriended alone, a thing that is mathematically impossible. Your response just makes your statement more questionable.
on 10/22/06
mmadm -- My Bible reads the same as yours, "teach" all nations. If you teach a large group, a
works best.
on 10/22/06
What did Jesus say to His disciples b4 He was translated? "Go ye ther4 n teach all nations V20 teaching them 2 observe all things WHATSOEVER I HAVE COMMANDED YOU." It never said dont voice it loudly. Whats do u find wrong in that? Are you ashamed of the Gospel of JC that you say such?
on 10/22/06
Spot on, Donnas. "For you will be His witness to all men of what you have seen and heard." Acts 22:15
on 10/21/06
Your post to Okebarem hadn't appeared when I asked for clarification. You explained yourself just fine. I can't think of anybody I know who became a Christian as an ADULT, who didn't tell me either:
1. I found the Lord at a Billy Graham Crusade
2. I met this person (man/woman) and we bacame friends. He/she witnessed to me or led me to the Lord.
on 10/20/06
Okebaram - how many people can one befriend in a lifetime? As many as God draws unto you, and for me it's lots because I work in large Corporate America where there are thousands of people all around me. I make friends everywhere I go. I just met a woman in Home Depot, got her phone number, and we're going to do lunch. God is a God of the impossible, what seems impossible to man, is possible to God. I remember people I've met from 1983, even back to 1974. It's all God!
on 10/20/06
Donna, how many people can one befriend in a lifetime? If Paul and Jesus' disciples had insisted on first befriending every person they met before they evangelised I don't think we would have heard the gospel today. But then you say different approaches apply to different people and that is correct.
on 10/19/06
I was thinking of the way Jesus witnessed to the Woman at the Well versus the way he witnessed to Nicodemus. To Nicodemus, he was very direct, "You must be born again." Why didn't Jesus say to the woman at the well, "You must be born again?" I believe it was because the Holy Spirit knows the person we're witnessing to and He leads us what to say, how to say it, when to say it, etc., Did I clarify that okay for you folks?
on 10/19/06
Okebaram - may I clarify what meant? I have stood on street corners and told people about Jesus. I went to malls and approached lots of teenagers, asked them if they wanted to accept Jesus, etc., It was when I befriended people, developed a relationship with them, that's when people were coming to Christ, asking me "how do I become like you?" "I want to know the Jesus you know." That's what I mean by being a witness. I got results the second way, not the first way.
on 10/19/06
Donna2277-of course I didn't mean that. I just explained to Okebaram that I have had better results when I befriended people like Jesus befriended the woman at the well. Different approaches with different people. The question was how should the Christian witness? Should it be loudly? When you walk up to a stranger and give them the gospel, isn't it hard for them to receive from a stranger versus if you befriended that person first and developed a dialog with them first?
on 10/19/06
Jesus stated in no uncertain terms that the disciples should preach his word from town to town. You are correct in saying we should be witnesses in the way we lead our lives, but somebody has to speak, thats how God created the universe. I think speaking the word to an unbeliever is like planting the seed.

You know what, Oke, all of your fruits are really showing tonight.
on 10/18/06
Donna9759 --- I'm sure you didn't mean Christians SHOULDN'T share the GOSPEL with others, did you? True, our lives should back up what we preach or we will not be believed. But just as important is to tell people of JESUS ...lest they think our "good" lives are a sign that we are "good" people (which, of course, we are not).
IMO, however, we do not need to make every interaction an occasion to "preach". We need to LISTEN to others as well (and to the Holy Spirit)
on 10/19/06
Dona, I've heard you make this comment many times and now its starting to bug me seriously. you always say that we should evangelise by our lifestyle. We should evangelise directly AS WELL AS through our lives...Direct evangelism is extremely vital and I greatly disapprove of anything that states otherwise!
Lee, yelling makes you look like a freak, and no one listens. It should be modest, personal and specific.
on 10/18/06
They do shout loudly here. I do see them and their beliefs that are in opposition to the bible. I do say No to false doctrines.

I don't know quite what you mean by this.
I've not seen any cultists stand on the streets and shout, though I've seen self-labelled Christians do so.
on 10/17/06
Lee, Christians should BE a witness, not witness. If Christ is IN you, His love will flow through you and out to others. Let your light shine amoung men, etc., Wouldn't you be turned off if someone was voicing their beliefs loudly to you? Also, how did Jesus say NO to error and false doctrines? He ignored them and followed the will of His Father in Heaven. He gave no creedence to false accusations, false doctrines, etc., We should do the same.
on 10/17/06
What I whisper to you in secret proclaim from the rooftops.
Yes Christians are supposed to be "pushing" their beliefs on everyone. Some will get offended, but it's Christ they are truly offended by if we merely speak his message.
Truth never takes the day off.
on 10/17/06
Is black/white thinking really a mental disorder. Is not the gospel of Jesus Christ black and white? Let your yes be yes, and your no be no. Heaven or Hell. Life and death. Light or darkness, good or evil, love or hate, foolish or wise. Angel or demon. Friend or enemy. Jesus Christ or satan. Jesus Christ is the Way. Narrow is the gate. Does Jesus stand by and the let the "sheep" be fleeced and eaten?

January's grand plan of Ducks Coach Bruce Boudreau is to address all that was ailing the team.
To get healthy.
To tighten up the defensive holes.
To sharpen the offensive precision.
The Ducks have 20 days off this month and have spent at least two practice days before each of their past three games to hammer the fundamentals, improving from a loss to the New York Rangers to a shootout win over the Winnipeg Jets to Wednesday's 4-0 shutout of the Toronto Maple Leafs.
Below average for most of the season in special teams, the Ducks are now on a 9-for-9 penalty kill roll, and have four goals in their past 10 power plays.
Takeaway No. 1: Corey Perry returning to early season form is a game-changer.
He produced his eighth career hat trick Wednesday, and the Ducks were relentless at times around Toronto goalie Jonathan Bernier, who saw an entirely different quality of shots this time after having a wealth of time to inspect pucks sent at him in his 40-save triumph over the Ducks on Dec. 16 in Toronto.
"We worked hard, didn't turn the puck over in the neutral zone, got it deep. That's the way we have to play to be successful," Perry said. "We got to our game and took over the hockey game."
Takeaway No. 2: Found: killer instinct.
Snapping an NHL-record run of 11 home wins all by one goal, the Ducks stepped on the throat of the wayward Maple Leafs, with goalie Frederik Andersen stopping all 28 shots at him.
"We just kept playing the way we had been. That kept pressure on them and took care of it," Andersen said after notching his first shutout since Oct. 19 against the St. Louis Blues.
Takeaway No. 3: Sitting the team's goals leader doesn't always blow up in your face.
Boudreau didn't like the recent play of Matt Beleskey, so he not only demoted him in practice from the second to the fourth line but also made him a healthy scratch against Toronto.
"I know when I played, watching a game helped me get out of [a rut]," Boudreau said. "He's a guy we're really going to need. We want him playing the way he did the first 25 games."
Takeaway No. 4: Missed that one. And that one.
When Ducks forward Kyle Palmieri roofed a first-period goal, it wasn't seen by officials until a replay of the goal by Ducks defenseman Hampus Lindholm that followed seconds later was reviewed by officials on video.
"I was 99% sure it went in, but they didn't blow the whistle and the horn didn't go off," Palmieri said.
In clarifying that the goal would be credited to Palmieri, not Lindholm, referee Brad Watson referred to the Orange County team as "Atlanta."
'I'm just glad they counted one of them," Palmieri said.

I spoke with Katherine only a few times but I feel like I know her so well because she shared the the love of Our Lord Jesus Christ with me during Eucharistic adoration. Sometimes I would stay afterwards to help put things away, she was always very gracious. Once outside in the daylight, her eyes would shine more brilliant than a pure blue sky. I loved her smile and miss her dearly.
I only met Katherine a few times, but what I saw -- and felt -- was a burning intellect and a deep love of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. My desire to spend time conversing with her was unfulfilled as I do not live in the area, and I will regret not being able to spend time with her. She had a positive attitude and great courage in the face of a dire prognosis. I will miss her.

Nickelodeon, Disney Channel, ABC Family Have Christmas Fun
It's not just the networks that are having a great holiday with its barrage of Christmas specials featuring Rudolph, Santa Claus and Frosty. On cable, the ratings have been just as great.
Nickelodeon, Disney Channel and Cartoon Network aired Christmas specials featuring characters from their already-successful shows.
Last week several of the stations aired holiday episodes from their prized programs. It wasn't just specials aimed at children. Disney Channel's Phineas & Ferb Christmas Vacation, which was aimed at older kids, became the No. 1 show for the week that ended Dec. 13 among kids 6-11 and 9-14.
Phineas & Ferb Christmas Vacation, airing Friday at 8 p.m., had its most-watched telecast ever in 6-11s, drawing an 8.6 rating. Among "tweens," it averaged a 6.2.
The ratings were slightly better than another competing Christmas spinoff on rival Nickelodeon with Merry Christmas, Drake & Josh. The rerun netted an average of 5.2 in 9-14s, ranking fifth for the week on broadcast and cable.
Drake & Josh beat ABC Family's original movie, Santa Baby 2 Christmas Maybe, which debuted as cable's top telecast in prime time on Dec. 13. It took in a 3.8 rating amongst adults and women in the 18-34 and 18-49 demos.
The movie became the top cable movie in the A18-49 demo in the year for the network, with a 1.2 rating and 1.6 million viewers. The movie, which stars Jenny McCarthy and Dean McDermott, posted big year-to-year increases for ABC Family, with a 31% jump in total viewers, 63% in adults 18-34, 33% in adults 18-49 and 68% in viewers 12-34.
Among kids 2-5, Dora's Christmas Carol Adventure, based on the popular kids show Dora the Explorer, ranked first with an 8.1 rating, even outdrawing ABC's Disney's Prep & Landing, the highest-rated broadcast special of the season.
The difference between cable and broadcast specials is that cable can build on the momentum of an already-established series. Dora, for example, regularly ranks in the top five in 2-5s.
Phineas & Ferb Christmas Vacation, a cartoon about a pair of stepbrothers, has been hot in recent weeks, airing five of its top six most-watched episodes since October.
In the coming days Cartoon Network has several Christmas specials scheduled starring well-known cartoon characters, including the Looney Tunes and Scooby Doo.

The Icing
Her name day was not going well.
Everyone seemed to have forgotten, even her brother. Celeste tossed down another set of missives that clamored for the Champion's attention; nothing was urgent, and all of it could bloody well wait until the day was over. Bodahn, Sandal, and Orana were nowhere to be found. A note left on her desk next to the pile of mail said that they were all off to the market, and could she please see to her breakfast herself?
Not that she minded making breakfast for herself, of course. It was just a surprise that everyone seemed to have disappeared. She frowned at Varric's empty room in the Hanged Man; Isabela's room was empty as well. Merrill didn't answer her door, and the lights outside of Anders's clinic were dark. Fenris was not home as well, the mansion cold and empty. The Grand Cleric had frowned at Sebastian's absence from the Chantry, and Celeste wandered back home, dejected.
She knelt to hug her Mabari, Cambert, when she got home, his stubby tail wagging as he licked her cheek.
"Looks like it's just you and me on my name day, lad," she said, stroking him behind the ears. Cambert chuffed at her, pleased to be her sole source of company. "It's all right. You were a name day present a long time ago, it's only fitting that you be the one I spend it with."
Cambert gave a conversational bark.
"I suppose a mug of tea and a book isn't a bad way to spend a name day, after all. Much more quiet than what we normally get up to, hey?" She wandered into the kitchen, setting the kettle on its hook over the fire and preparing the pot. She was just about ready to pour the steaming water when a voice called from the foyer.
"Hawke? Are you home?" She recognized the brogue – it could only be Sebastian.
"In the kitchen!" she called through the open door.
He came down the steps with a clatter, and she realized he was carrying a large bundle of shopping in his arms. She rushed over to help him set some of his parcels down, her lips quirking in amusement.
"What's all this?" she asked.
"Well, I heard that it was your name day, so I thought…" He flushed, and she tilted her head to the side. "I thought I would bake you a cake, if that's all right."
"I didn't know you could bake," she said, a smile on her face. At least someone remembered. "Of course it's all right."
"Well, the Chantry teaches many skills," he said, pulling his ingredients out of the packages of shopping. "I learned to bake bread from the cook there when it was my turn to help do charitable works for the poor. Sure, I might have bought bread, but with the skills to make the bread, the money I use can feed a lot more people. It sort of…took off from there, and I discovered a hidden talent for baking."
"Deadly with an arrow and a rolling pin, who knew?" she said, laughing. He gave her an uncertain smile that soon warmed as she got him chatting about other things. He set out the ingredients he would need, setting them in a neat little pile. Flour, sugar, and salt sat in their own little bags, next to which he laid out a small basket of eggs and a bottle of milk. A bottle of heavy cream was added next, along with a clay jar with a sealed lid.
"Honey," he said when she picked up the jar. "I thought a lot about what I would make, but I couldn't decide if fruit would be too much, or–"
She laughed, holding up her hands. "I'm an absolute klutz in the kitchen, so whatever you make will be far better than what I could."
A small smile played on his lips. "Well, normally I wouldn't ask you to help, since it's your name day, but I don't think you're a hopeless case. Come on, let's wash up, and I'll teach you."
She rolled up her sleeves so that she could scrub. "You're going to regret this. I'm a terrible cook."
"It's not a hard thing, baking." Sebastian lathered his hands, making sure to get under his nails. Maker, she'd never seen a more fastidious man. When she thought about his hands touching food, however, it made sense, and she endeavored to scrub her hands just as well. "It just requires the right touch."
"Well, your touch might be better than mine when it comes to that." She shrugged. "I can make tea, and porridge for breakfast, but anything more complicated than that and I'm hopeless."
"I don't believe that," Sebastian said, his eyes crinkling at the corners with good humor. "Come on then, let's get started with this batter."
She watched as Sebastian pulled open the bags of flour, sugar, and salt, measuring out an amount of each of the ingredients. His hands were sure, confident, as he pulled out Orana's baking tools and placed the measured flour into the bowl. She watched, her lip between her teeth.
"Would you pull me a mug of ale, please?" he asked, smiling at her. "Just a bit, about to the second knuckle of your finger if you were to measure with your hand."
"Breaking your vows already? It must be a special name day, indeed." She stood and grabbed a clean tankard.
"It's not for me," he said, gesturing to the flour. "It's for the cake."
"Your cake has ale in it?"
"You never would have guessed, would you?" He grinned at her, really grinned, and she felt her heart do a little flip in her chest. She had never told him how she felt about him, and if she had her way, she never would. She knew he valued his vows above everything else, and she wouldn't take that from him. She crossed the room to hide her discomfiture in the ale barrel, pouring a measure of the lukewarm ale.
"Now," he said, as he took the tankard from her, "we add the most important ingredient."
He reached into his belt pouch, pulling out a small packet of waxed paper. He tipped the contents into the tankard and set it aside. Curious, she peered into the ale, but nothing amazing happened. She looked up at his chuckle, his amusement plain.
"What was that?"
"Yeast. It will help the cake later on. Now, Champion, come here and I'll give you proper instruction on how to mix the wet ingredients together."
She rolled her eyes at his commanding tone but obeyed, walking over to the counter where he stood. He placed two eggs in her hands, putting a clean bowl in front of her.
"Crack the eggs open into the bowl, and whip them until you can't tell the yolks from the whites." He handed her a fork.
"Whip them? Are we baking a cake or choreographing a new routine for the Rose?" She obeyed, however, cracking the eggs with exaggerated care into the bowl. As she blended the creamy yellow yolk with the clear white, she glanced at him out of the corner of her eye. He was sifting the flour, humming a little under his breath as he worked. He caught her looking, flashing her a smile as her hands slowed.
"Let's see," he said, holding his hand out for the bowl. She handed it to him, aware of his fingers as they brushed hers. "Well done! I might be able to make a baker of you yet."
"Again, I doubt it." Sebastian ignored her disparaging remark and placed another bowl into her hands, filled with sugar and a measure of the butter.
"Blend those together," he said. "You're doing fine, there's no need to be skittish about this."
There was plenty of reason to be skittish, she knew. Being in the same room as Sebastian had that effect. She would trip, or drop something. Still, she did her best, trying to stir the mixture together.
"Here, let me help." Warm breath ghosted over her ear as he stepped up behind her, guiding her hands with his. "You're trying to beat it into submission, and that will just not do. You have to be gentle, and…coax it."
He showed her, stirring in loose, easy strokes, the sugar coming together with the butter in a clumpy mass. He didn't release her at once, and she felt the way his chest muscles moved against her back, his breathing steady and even. He had forgone his armor for obvious reasons, a simple linen shirt and a pair of doeskin trousers serving to dress him today, and she could feel the heat of him through his clothes. She swallowed, feeling his breath ghost against her ear again.
"I think you have it, now," he said, causing goosebumps to ripple up her arms. "Do you think so?"
Her mouth was dry, and she couldn't speak, so she nodded. He stepped away, and she sighed a little in relief even as she missed the closeness of him. Even in the kitchen with its myriad of scents, he was leather, incense, and the split wood scent that came from his arrow-making. She shivered, setting down the blended sugar and butter. He reached around her for the bowl with the egg in it, his arm circling her waist. Stepping away again, he added it to the bowl, along with a handful of aromatic seeds.
The scent of anise wafted up, and she sniffed, taking in the smell of black licorice.
"I know you don't much care for the candies they make in Hightown," he said. "This should actually be lighter in flavor."
"I'm sure it will, Sebastian. Really, I'm all right." She wasn't, not since he'd stepped into her personal space, but the little white lie could be forgiven. It was her name day, after all.
"You'll see," he said, his smile wide. He blended together the seeds and eggs with the butter; sure, smooth strokes had it blended into a creamy mass dotted with specks of seeds. He poured the flour into a bowl, patting down a hollow in the middle. Taking the tankard, he poured the measure of ale into the hollow, filling it. He handed her another spoon, pressing it into her hands. "Now you're going to fold the batter together."
"All right," she said. She looked down at the gloopy mess in the bowl. "Erm, how?"
"Here," he said, stepping behind her again and taking her hands. He showed her, stirring the mixture in scooping motions, working the ale into the flour until it was moist. He didn't move away this time, reaching for the bowl with the wet ingredients and scraping them into the flour. She folded those in with his help, too, concentrating hard on controlling her breathing. The mixture came together, and he added milk as she stirred, humming under his breath against her ear as she stirred.
It was a comfortable moment, she decided. He was relaxed against her, as if this was the most normal thing in the world; despite his earlier nervousness, he had become a lot more confident as the cake got underway. It was becoming a thick batter now, speckled with the anise seeds. His hands stilled over hers, and she leaned back to look up at him.
"Do you know something?" he asked.
"What?" she asked, her heart pounding.
"You might be a better baker than you thought. I only did a little of the work on this cake, you know." He dipped his finger in the bowl, scooping up a little of the mixture, even as he stepped away. He held out his hand, the batter clinging to it. "Taste it, and tell me what you think."
"I…" She hesitated.
"I'll not bite." His smile was warm, and his eyes held a note of challenge. "Are you that afraid of your own cooking?"
Celeste was many things. Afraid, yes, but to be challenged on that fear? Never. She stepped forward, taking his wrist in her hands to hold him steady as she closed her mouth around his index finger, her tongue caressing the callouses as she cleaned the square tipped digit of the batter. The light taste of licorice was balanced by the sugar and the heady taste of the ale. She closed her eyes, cleaning every last drop from his finger, until a strangled noise from Sebastian made her open them again.
He was watching her, lips parted as his nostrils flared. His gaze was locked on her mouth, and she swept her tongue along his finger again for good measure, giving it a last suckle to teach him a lesson about temptation. He wet his lips as she released him, taking his hand back after a moment.
"I forgot myself," he said. "I should have used a spoon. My apologies."
"For what? The chance to lick batter off the fingers of the most attractive yet unattainable man in Kirkwall?" Her voice was bitter. "No, it's fine. Thank you for the opportunity. Happy name day to me."
He caught her hand. "Don't think I haven't been tempted, Hawke."
His thumb traced circles on the back of her hand, sending electricity jolting through her. She pulled her hand from his, turning back to the batter in the bowl.
"I – I think I'd rather just have my book and my tea, like I was planning." She took a deep breath. "You know what? Just the book is fine. You can finish the cake without me, and take it to the Hanged Man. The drunks can celebrate my name day, at least."
He was behind her again, his hands over hers as she stiffened. His movements were slow and deliberate as he curled her fingers inward save the index finger. He dipped her finger in the batter, turning her so she could watch him bring her hand to his mouth. His lips closed over her finger, and the slow sweep of his tongue across the sensitive pad of her finger almost overwhelmed her. The rasp of his tongue was made more intense by the look he gave her, blue eyes locked to hers as he suckled the last of the batter from her finger. He released her, pressing a kiss to the pad of her finger as he returned her hand.
"When I say I have been tempted, that doesn't exclude right now." His smile curled up at the edges, turning it into something far more wicked than she thought he was capable of expressing. His eyes darkened as he stepped forward, brushing a thumb over her lower lip. He cupped her face in his hands, broad fingers sending shivers to her toes. "I can't say no any longer."
"Sebastian, I won't ask you to forswear your vows," she said, reaching up and taking his hands. "I can't ask that of you."
"I forswore myself when I swore to avenge my parents. There is no vow to be broken." He pulled his hands from hers and cupped her face again, slanting his lips across hers. She made a small sound of protest that faded into a whimper as he brought her flush against him, tracing her lower lip with his tongue and begging for entrance. She parted her lips, and he quested inside, his hands sliding from her face to her hips and her back, soothing strokes that relaxed her rigid posture into something far more malleable. She sighed against him, the heat from his body igniting her from the inside out as she grabbed two handfuls of his shirt, trying to tug him closer.
"Easy," he murmured against her mouth, placing a small kiss at the corner. "We have plenty of time today. It's your name day, after all."
He brushed his thumb against her lower lip again, making an amused sound when she kissed the pad. To her surprise, he reached for the bowl of batter, dipping his finger into it again. He held it out to her, a smirk playing on his lips.
"You never told me what you thought of your cooking. Perhaps you need to try it again." She parted her lips as he brought his finger up, surprising him with the flicker of her pink tongue before he could stop her. She lapped the batter from his finger, taking it into her mouth at last. She was rewarded with a moan of approval as his eyes fixated on her mouth again. He'd thought about this before, she realized, and the idea excited her. Never in five years had he even hinted at this secret desire for her, and to know that she could wrench that sound from him with just the touch of her mouth on his fingers was an empowering feeling.
"It's good," she said, her voice a murmur as she stepped closer. "It might have something to do with how it's presented, though."
"Perhaps," he said, that smirk still playing on his lips as he kissed her again.
This time, she'd gotten over the shock of it and gave as good as she got, nipping with playful care at his lower lip. He growled and pulled her closer, pressing her against the counter and tasting her. She twitched her hips up to be rewarded with a gasping intake of breath as she pressed against the insistent hardness of his trousers. A hand rough with callouses slid her robe off her shoulder, his lips following the tingling trail his fingers left. She wound her hands in his shirt once more, her head tipping back as he nipped a path down her throat.
She bit back a gasp of her own when he bared her breasts to the warm air of the kitchen, trailing his lips down her sternum. He reached for the bowl again, dipping his fingers and daubing a bit of the batter across her flushed skin. He lapped it up, her breath hitching at the sound of approval he made.
"It is better when presented properly, I agree," he said, placing an open-mouthed kiss on her throat, his tongue flicking against the pulse point that fluttered there. She gave a soft sigh, winding one of her hands in his auburn hair and giving a tug. He nipped then, soothing it with a pass of his tongue as she arched against him. One broad, tanned hand traced a teasing pass up the side of her breast, the palm pebbling the nipple as he bent his head to the other, his teeth scraping as he suckled.
"Mnh," she said, eloquent in her need as she held his head there for a moment before tugging him up for another searing kiss.
"Celeste." She heard it for the first time from his lips, and it was uncertain, as if he wasn't sure he'd crossed a line. She reassured him with a growl of her own, pulling his laughing mouth closer as she drank in the scent and taste of him, heady with the flavor of anise. Teeth clicked together in their haste, but neither cared at this point, Sebastian clearing the table with a sweep of one broad arm, sending the forgotten mug of tea clattering to the floor.
"You'll be cleaning my kitchen later," she said, her voice a mock warning as he laughed and pushed her backward onto the polished surface.
"Yes," he agreed. "Later."
Fire followed his kisses then, more urgent than anything she'd ever experienced. Talented fingers worked the ties of her robe free at last, baring the rest of her to his view. One broad, square-tipped finger traced a line down the flat plane of her stomach, his appreciation evident in the way he smiled at her. She reached for him then, and he jerked his shirt over his head, the white cloth fluttering away from tanned skin to reveal the broad, muscled expanse of his chest. He was lean, with a slender waist and hips but corded with muscle that flexed under the tan of his skin like that of a large hunting cat. Appreciative fingers traced the dusting of coppery hair there, drawing a deep intake of breath as she neared the waistband of his trousers.
He pushed her hands away, instead pulling her hips to rest on the edge of the table as he stood before her. She squirmed in his grasp, but the fingers tugging her smalls to her ankles would not be denied. His fingers brushed against the curls at her sex, and she arched, her eyes closing as a single finger tested the depths of her wetness, sliding along her folds with practiced ease.
She gasped his name, and Sebastian chuckled again, his finger probing her already slick entrance. Her breathing hitched as he slid it in, the curl of his finger hitting something on the slide out that had her mewling.
"You liked that, did you, sweetling?" He grinned and ghosted a kiss over the inside of her knee as his thumb circled the aching heat of the bundle of nerves at her apex. He bent over her, his breath hot in her ear as she gave a whine. The sound of his brogue in her ear as he spoke again had her turning to kiss his neck and shoulder. "Let me know when it gets to be too much to bear."
A second finger joined the first, stretching her to accommodate him as he increased the pace, his thumb making a broad lap around her again as his fingers worked her core. Her hips wriggled as she squirmed, her nails clenching in the broad muscle of his back, drawing a growl from him. He kissed and nipped her throat, giving a gentle tug with his teeth on her earlobe as she sighed against his shoulder. It was not enough, and she craved more movement, more friction.
"Sebastian, please," she said. She arched down, trying to graze her hips against his, but he had a better angle on her. His fingers withdrew and he brought them to his lips. She watched in a daze as he lapped the slick of her from his fingers, savoring it as he had the cake batter. The sound of approval that rumbled from his chest sparked something primal in her, and she squirmed again, heat suffusing her as he fixed her with an intense look, still cleaning his fingers with his tongue.
"Yes, when presented properly, any meal can be a feast," he said, his eyes flicking across her form as he unlaced his trousers, taking himself in hand as he gazed down at her. The first press of him against her was a welcome relief to her heated core, and he teased her with a sliding thrust up her folds that had her swearing under her breath at him. He relented then, stretching and filling her as he held her hips steady with one hand, guiding himself with the other.
She closed her eyes, lips parting as the first slow thrust had him hilted inside her, their hips flush at last. She felt him start to move, and her eyes opened to find him watching her, his hips canting forward as he leaned one palm on the table beside her head. She turned her head to kiss the inside of his wrist. Something flared in his eyes at that, and he withdrew, drawing her to her feet and turning her around.
He splayed her across the table, her breasts pressing into her discarded robes as he spread her ankles with a nudge of his booted foot. She felt his fingers stroke down her spine and then he entered her again, the different angle hitting something good deep inside her. She stood on tiptoe, arching backward to meet him as Sebastian thrust into her, the intense rhythm sending a jolt coiling into her belly, a delicious tightness that wound up higher and higher until she was sure she would shatter from the strain.
His fingers sought her wetness again and then she did shatter, his thrusts pressing her into the table as she was lost to her peak, cresting sharp as a snap of a whip. Her hands gripped the table as he held her hips, riding out her release with his thrusts hitting a crescendo. He gave a growling shout and pulled her up flush with his chest, possessive hands holding her to him as he sank his teeth into her shoulder. His breath was hot in her ear as he trembled against her, and she steadied herself against him.
At last, he slipped from her, their mingled release leaving much to clean up. He pressed a kiss to her temple as he fetched a clean rag.
"Happy name day to me, indeed," she said, and he laughed, nuzzling her earlobe as they righted their clothing.
"And we haven't even put the cake in the oven yet."
Varric glanced at the setting sun from the window of his suite in the Hanged Man. The others were engaged in a game of Wicked Grace, but the food was getting cold. Anders kept looking at the door and shaking his head, his brows drawing down in a scowl.
"Maybe I should go get her, instead," he said, setting his hand down and preparing to stand up. "Sebastian's been gone for hours."
"Blondie, the only thing you're going to find at Hawke's house is heartache and you know it. Trust me, Choir Boy ran the long con on all of us when he offered to go fetch Hawke while we set this up." Varric took a swig from his tankard, wandering over to the sideboard and dishing up some of the food. "We might as well eat, because we won't be hearing a peep from them until morning, maybe longer."
A/N: Mmm, cake. Just a little break from Aquila. I'll have a new chapter of that up tomorrow. For now, enjoy, and as always, thanks for reading.

how botnets use dynamic webhosting to connect to their IP addresses
"FireEye studied a sample 100 active CnC domains for njRAT (includes LV categorisation), XtremeRAT, njw0rm, h-worm, and DarkComet that threat actors used against our customers. Though advanced threat actors are also using these tools, we surmise that various individual hackers and hacking teams are largely conducting these activities for notoriety hacking, hacktivism, cybercrime, or hobby hacking, and not targeted data theft from an APT campaign. Domain resolutions for the 100 dynamic CnC fully qualified domain names (FQDNs) revealed more than 20,000 historical IP resolutions, suggesting that these actors use dynamic domains for connectivity via their local Internet service provider to their personal computers
Nearly all the C2s domains used a dynamic domain name system, such as no-ip, dyndns, adultdns, zapto, sytes, servequake, myvnc, with a number of the FQDNs individually resolving to hundreds of IP addresses. The sample set of FQDNs resolved to more than 20,000 IP addresses in our historical data and possibly indicated the origins of the activity given the apparent direct use of local Internet service providers. For example, in one case involving
more than 600 FQDN-IP resolutions, more than 500 of the IPs appeared to be Jordan-based IPs. FireEye also found cases in which additional FQDNs simultaneously resolved to the same IPs as some of the identified C2 FQDNs."
Fireeye regional threat report http://www.fireeye.com/info-center/
so if you block in your proxy access to these domains you normally don't need at all, than you limit the possibility of connecting an infected workpost with a botnet control and commandcenter

Standing Tableaux
Cast, rather than blown, these pieces almost chart my life. They have always been based on rockpools and the seashore. I think a good rockpool is the best place in the world. Over the years I reckon i have more pictures of rockpools than anything else (including my children - sorry kids). And over the years different aspects have come to the fore. Sometimes the edges where the water meets the rock, sometimes the colours and sometimes the imagery. There is always something to spark off.

Let's begin with "Allah Duhayi Hai", which directly follows the lines from the prequel's "Race Saanson Ki". The track is sung by Atif Aslam, Vishal Dadlani, and Anushka Manchanda, and has a techno and rock beat to it, which doesn't fail in getting your attention with its upbeat music!
Then there is "Party on My Mind" by KK, Yo Yo Honey Singh, and Shefali Alvarez. Right from its very first beat, it gets you dancing to the techno tunes. The lyrics are catchy enough and the rap portion by Honey Singh serves to act as a differentiating feature. It does have a familiar sound to it that reminds you of other similarly club songs, but that should not stop you from giving this hopping song a listen or two!
Up next, Atif Aslam and Sunidhi Chauhan's "Be Intehaan" is the standard romantic number of the album, which instantly takes you back to the "Pehli Nazar Mein" times, not letting you miss the similarity in passion between the two! While the song is no where close to the magic created by "Pehli Nazar", you should definitely give it a listen, especially if you like Atif's crooning style.
The last but not least track of the album is "Lat Lag Gayi" by Benny Dayal and Shalmali Kholgade, which is yet another dance track. Although we'd say not the best in the album, it's full of upbeat music that might keep you swinging all night on the dance floor. Don't miss out on this!
Rating: 3/5
Despite not a large number or variety of songs in the album, each song is definitely worth a listen once or a few times to get the feel of it, if not get hooked to it. The two dance tracks have already gained much popularity in the club sphere! Tune into these tracks, and till then we shall work into another review only for you!

is there anyway to get rid of silicone injections???
from where? i know that silicone is not suppossed to be just injected, it needs to be in something, like a wrapper, i.e. an implant, so can you explain more?
silicone lip injections
silicone injections for lips are pretty much permanent. they're usually a composite of silicone oil and the oil works with your chemistry. they have a tendancy to migrate, causing little bumps. restalyne and other new fillers aren't permanent, so you can add more and until you find out how much your lips need. hope that helps!
I think you just have to deal with it! If it were Restalyne they could inject a substance to dizzolve it but with other fillers, you're stuck waiting for them to wear off. Who in the world put Silicone in your lips? I didn't think anyone did that anymore. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news. Those types of intense fillers will tend to mellow out but it generally takes about 6-8 months.
I have to ask is it horribly painful to have lip injections?
it doesn't hurt...but I take pain very well.
it was a bad choice I made when I was 19...all my friends were doing it...it looked good at the time...and now I regret it!!!
I would recommend a consult with a Plastic Surgeon. Nowadays there are so many options to "fix things up". It certainly can't hurt !
mmmm I know when I get my upper lip waxed it is so painful I cannot imagine having a needle stuck in there!
Why do you regret it?
Yes if I was going to do it I would consult with correct people not have it done in a beauty salon where they advertise it now!
Where did you get this done? I thought injections were outlawed in the 70's?
Was this done in Miami?
I did it in Hawaii...I just regret it because it's silicone and will never go away...I was wondering if there was some sort of surgery, disolver, ect???

Happy Friday!
by Jennifer Cooper, posted on June 1st, 2012 in Features
Around the world today, several countries are celebrating Children's Day. It's a whole day dedicated to celebrating children's happiness. Fun, yes?
While we don't observe it here in the USA—what's up with that USA?—I thought about the loveliness of such a holiday. So today, in celebration of Children's Day, let's begin the link round up with play.

Poiseuille's inlet velocity profile
Hello colleagues!
I need to set non-uniform boundary inlet velocity profile (e.g. parabolic, Poiseuille's law). Please explain me, how to do it.
Best regards, Aleksey.
If you look at the incompressible/simpleFoam/pitzDailyExptInlet tutorial, that gives you a pretty easy way to set a parabolic profile. You change the points file in /constant/boundaryData/inlet to the points you need for your mesh, then change the U file in the /constant/boundaryData/inlet/0 directory to set a parabolic profile to match your points. The tutorial has a parabolic profile. I have used this method to make a log law profile.
There are many other methods described in the forums - this one is quite simple, and it works.
Good luck, Alan
Thanks a lot, Alan!
Now I have a new question.
I try to make my own patch for entering boundary conditions. I've analyzed source code of some patches and I think I can do what I want.
BUT! How to make OpenFOAM solvers to use it. I mean, how to compile new patch and insert it to program?
Please, help me with problem.
Best regards, Aleksey.
Take a look at the GroovyBC created by Bernhard. It is often much more convenient than writing your BC for each case. You can find it here on the wiki:
About using your BC, simply build it with
wmake libso
and then add a line as
libs ( "libOpenFOAM.so" "libgroovyBC.so" ) ;
to your controlDict, replacing libgroovyBC.so with the library corresponding to your BC.
Thank you very much, Alberto!
simpleFoam Blows up with Parabolic Inlet Pipe Flow
2 Attachment(s)
Hi Alberto,
I have read lots and lots of your posts and they have helped me greatly with learning how to use OpenFOAM.
However, Now I am running into a wall again - (it doesn't hurt that much after the thousandth times). I'm hoping you could help me.
I am simulating a pipe with sudden expansion with a parabolic inlet velocity using simpleFoam - see attached.
The simulation started with laminar for 2000 iterations (residuals flat off after this) - solution attached.
The simulation crashed after 2 iterations! Consistently.
Error message indicate divide by zero problem for k and epsilon (See below).
Please NOTE that if I use NON-parabolic inlet (i.e. fixedValue), everything is fine - I got a good converged solution.
I used Upwind Div scheme with cellLimited interpolation scheme.
I have tried both PCG and GAMG for pressure, and PBiCG and GAMG for U|k|epsilon.
I have also tried varying URF.
I suspect the problem is in my BCs and bad starting solution for k and epsilon (since the flow is now parabolic from the inlet).
But, I can't figure out. I've also tried setting parabolic inlet profiles for k and epsilon to no avail.
Please help!.
My 0/epsilon:
Thank you very much.
I hope I do get any help this time.
Please.. It's quite difficult to get help from this forum.
Time = 2
Try a few things:
Hi Alberto,
That is a super quick reply! Thank you :)
I'm trying your suggestions #1 and #3 at the same time.
It runs fine (up to 10 iterations now).
I'll try running this to convergence, then change the inlet BC to parabolic velocity.
Do you think I need to change the k and epsilon BCs to parabolic at the inlet as well?
I think this would be wrong since k and epsilon does not vary linearly with velocity.
So, I think the problem was in the large difference between the k and epsilon initial guesses and the parabolic velocity inlet?
Thanks again.
I'll let you know how it goes.
Kind Regards,
Just wondering now, how do I change the inlet BC during runtime or after nth iterations?
Hi Alberto,
I apologise to swamp your email address.
I have misread your post.
I have tried starting the calculation from uniform field before.
The behaviour was exactly the same (crashed on the 2nd iteration).
What I'm trying now is running with tophat inlet velocity, and change BC after nth iterations.
So, I guess back to square one :(
Any idea?
Thank you.
Kind Regards,
I have done lots of simulations with flat profile on this geometry, and I thought of comparing the results if the inlet pipe flow is "fully developed".
What do you mean by "turbulent profile"?
Thank you.
Kind Regards,
Btw, you said Re = 750. Strictly speaking, you are in the transition region (not fully developed), and you should use a low-Re model (I am sorry, I just noticed your Re) like Launder-Sharma-KE. You will need a good resolution of the boundary layer.
Hi Alberto,
I used the U/Uc = pow((1-r/rc),1/7) velocity profile at inlet (set using groovyBC).
Then I used 'applyBoundaryLayer' tool to calculate the initial guess of epsilon distribution near wall, with yBL = rc (pipe radius). In fully-developed turbulent pipe flow, the BL thickness is equal to the pipe radius.
>> applyBoundaryLayer -ybl 0.665 -writenut
The run (epsilon) blew up after 3 iterations - division by zero problem (I think).
Strangely, the k and epsilon residuals in the last iteration before blew up were 1e-06 and 0.7 respectively.
I am really not sure what is causing the numerical error at this stage, any idea?:(:confused:
Has anyone encountered this problem when simulating pipe flow with a 'fully-developed' inlet BC? Surely someone has done this before - at least for constant cross-section pipe.
Kind Regards,
I have emailed you the case to your gmail email address.
The case was too large to attach in this forum (3MB) since max allowed attachment is 97KB. The mesh size has been reduced significantly - it's a coarse mesh with only 100000 cells.
Thank you so much for your kind help.
Kind Regards,
after how many iterations should it crash? :-)
It looks like it is happily converging on my workstation. I modified the linear solver settings slightly, but I don't think that's the reason...
I tried running your modified case as it is, and the exact same bizarre behavior happened.. It crashed on the second iterations on my machine (I was running it serial) - See below log printout.
And I have tested running it on 2 different workstations (one running Ubuntu, the other running Fedora). No difference in outcome.
I'm using OpenFOAM 1.7.0. This is most extraordinary.
What version of OpenFOAM are you using?
Do you have any idea of what may be the problem?
I'm really lost .. even on how to debug it now.
Seems the problem is on the OpenFOAM setup on my workstation.
Could you suggest anything?
I really appreciate your help and suggestions.
Kind Regards,
Create time
Hi Stefano,
I use OpenFOAM 1.7.x, running it in serial mode. I would suggest you to

Restless blogger that I am, I decided a few weeks ago that the site could use a design update. Although I started out intending to do something simple, I ended up completely redesigning the logo and making many changes to the layout, colors and text design, too.
There are still a couple tweaks left to do, and though I've tested the design in IE, Firefox and Chrome, there may be some browser compatibility issues I haven't resolved. Let me know if you see something that looks funny or if you have any other thoughts on the redesign.

1/3 cup cider vinegar
½ cup packed brown sugar
2 cups rhubarb, chopped into ½-inch pieces
1 tsp. Chinese Five Spice
2 tsp. salt, divided
¼ tsp. cayenne pepper
2 tsp. freshly chopped ginger
2 freshly minced garlic cloves
¾ cup chopped red onion
1/3 cup golden raisins
1 1-lb. pork tenderloin
1 tsp. freshly ground black pepper
1 tsp. ground Chinese Five Spice
1 Tbsp. olive oil
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
First, make the spicy rhubarb compote: In a small sauce pan, combine the cider vinegar, brown sugar, rhubarb, Chinese Five Spice, 1 teaspoon of salt, cayenne pepper, ginger, garlic and red onion. Bring to a boil over medium heat. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 5 to 7 minutes. Remove from heat, stir in the raisins, cover and set aside.
Next, prepare the tenderloin: Combine 1 teaspoon each of salt, black pepper and Chinese Five Spice. Sprinkle the spice mixture all over the tenderloin.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large oven-proof skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the tenderloin on all sides, about 90 seconds per side. Place the skillet in the oven, and roast the pork for 15 minutes. Remove from the oven, cover with foil and let rest for 10 minutes. Diagonally carve ½-inch slices. Serve with the spicy rhubarb compote.

New Smyrna Beach, FL (PressExposure) February 17, 2009 -- Dr. Paul Yanick, President of the American Academy of Quantum Medicineâ¢, announces a national board certification seminar at the 28th Annual American Naturopathic Medical Association Convention in July of 2009 on the cost-effectiveness of using fermented food nutrients as a way to cleanse and nourish the body so the innate immune system is stronger against the latest threat of food-borne superbugs like MRSA.
In these times of economic slowdown, costs of medical care have touched sky-high proportions, leading to the rediscovery of an age-old medicine â nutrient-rich fermented food. Dr. Paul Yanickâs seminar teaches doctors and their patients how to assess and eliminate the hideous food-borne molds and lymphatic and neural toxins that cause the overwhelming majority of inflammatory diseases.
Environmental pollutants weaken the immune system causing inflammation, one of the leading causes of disease. This has made more consumers ready to take responsibility for their own health â with controlled, healthier diets.
Dr. Yanickâs research on how pollutants impair the immune and lymphatic system causing tinnitus (ear noises) and inflammation started early as he was given one year to live in his youth. Cleansing his body of man-made pharmaceuticals and chemicals saved his life. âUsing fermented synbiotic foods offers inexpensive ways to cleanse the body of man-made pollutants...and combat a host of health problems from insomnia to inflammation,â he says.
If you are overweight around the abdomen, have skin abnormalities, allergies, digestive disorders or have chronic fatigue, or have been diagnosed with fibromyalgia, cancer, multiple-chemical-sensitivity, Parkinsonâs or Alzheimerâs disease, arthritis, asthma or other disorders, your lymphatic system is chronically compromised with no traditional medical cure available.
Once doctors learn how to detoxify the body correctly with fermented food combinations, they will be in a position to shrink excess belly fat and dead stop inflammation. Regarding excess belly fat, Richard N. Bergman, a professor at USCâs Keck School of Medicine âIt seems to have a more negative outcome on health than overall fat,â
Pollutants and moldy food are the main culprits in this case and predigested or synbiotic food nourishment is the only way to stop this onslaught. So, ineffective low-carb (glycemic index), low-fat, liquid diets (grapefruit diet, fat-flush plans), and starvation diets are fast getting pushed aside replaced by synbiotic food nutrients that cleanse the body in todayâs polluted world.

I don't know about you, but I really love – "Top 5 Tips" about stuff. It's like getting a mega dose of all the important things in one easy to read 3 minute sitting. So, in appreciation of all those wonderful "Top… tips" out there on the web – here's mine.
1) Order your life – Yes, it will take time up front, but if you can organize your house (it saves time when you know where to find something), and your life you will add more time to your schedule. Get rid of things that add stress to your life. Are you stressed out about that bowling league that you joined 3 years ago and now hate? Just quit… look at other things in your life that add stress, do you NEED it to be a part of your life? If not, move on. Use a calendar to organize your schedule or download your online calendar to your smart phone. Then set it to remind you of important events.
2)Be Prepared – set your goals for the next day – make a "to do" list. Prepare for the next day before you go to bed. Prepare your grocery list before you leave the house. Plan your errand day for ONE day a week, organize all you have to do on that day.
3) Delegate if possible – Have a chore list for everyone in your house. As your children get older, give them more work intensive chores. This not only frees you, but prepares them to run their own household in the future.
4) Pay your bills online. Check with your bank about their online account availability. Almost all banks offer this service for free now. Sign up and add all your regular bills that you pay. You can then watch your balance, and with one click pay all your bills that are due right from one website. This saves time and money – (stamps and envelopes!)
5) Make time for yourself and your sweetheart. Schedule an appointment for that long overdue haircut. Make a date with your "honey" and just sit and talk over a meal. It is vital to be in tune with your spouse. If you don't, one day soon when those kids are gone it will be just you two and you'll feel like strangers. …remember romance? I know you do, it's back there with those pre-children memories!

Scotland is no longer known for its beautiful scenery, cuisine and culture – it is also known for ist beautiful faces.
These days, cosmetic surgery is no longer something which patients are choosing to keep secret. The Scots can't get enough of it! This has been an excellent time for Facelift Scotland doctors as figures have shown that face and neck lift surgery has risen by a mighty 16%! There has also been a rise in aesthetics training, proving that Scot's are skilled when it comes to plastic surgery!
These days facelifts and cosmetic surgery are not categorised as a female only treatment and statistics have risen for both sexes. Do these statistics prove that the Scots are aiming to be a more youthful nation? Continue reading "The Best Facelift Scotland Treatments"

What is the only thing better than trying out an exciting new tabletop game? Winning the first time you try out an exciting new tabletop game! "Easier said than done," you might say. After all, depending on the complexity of a game it can be quite challenging to form any sort of coherent strategy with such a limited understanding of it. This would seemingly result in a relative crap shoot as to who will win if the entire group is made up of novices. I am here to tell you this notion is wrong! By carefully observing the behavior of an expert new game winner I have solved this riddle for the ages by copying her method. Who is this nigh unstoppable force of nature at winning new games you might ask? It's my wife…the one and only Mrs. Heather Hamm!
Frequent readers of Life in Games will have surely heard me talk about Heather and some may have even read one of her occasional guest posts that can be found under the heading, Wife in Games. For those of you not familiar with her it is important to realize she is a skilled, but relatively casual gamer who tends to shy away from the heaviest games or those with too much direct conflict. Despite being more casual and drawn to somewhat less ruthless games or styles of play she has an incredible track record of winning, or nearly winning games that all of the players are playing for the first time. How can this be?
First, a little background on the topic. Heather and I have been married since September of 2008 and she has gone to every Gen Con with me since that year, while we were just engaged. Every year I make a list of new or new to us, games that I believe we would both enjoy and try to seek out as many as we can during the con. It is not uncommon for a few of our friends, often some of my very hardcore gaming buddies, to join us in these games. When this same group plays games at home, ones we have played many times before, she is often competitive, but seldom wins. We tend to simply be more familiar with the game and due to that greater understanding we are able to form optimized strategies that usually results in one of us winning. However, a year or two ago, she and I noticed that she was winning about half of the new games we played every year at Gen Con even though we were with the same four or five people as at home. Even if you account for the unfamiliarity with new games as a balancing factor, a 50% win rate year after year against people who usually beat you is quite surprising and more than just luck. I have often thought my own win rate to be somewhat suppressed in this situation because I tend to be the rule reader and game teacher. Having to constantly reference the rulebook for myself and others takes my attention from the game and hampers my ability to play. This generally does not bother me, as Gen Con represent a rare occasion where I play with a much more casual attitude and focus more on having a good time then trying to win at all costs. Still, I knew there was no way that this was the only explanation, especially since it only applied to me, and not the other players at the table.
The answer came to us one day when she and I were discussing the difference between tactics and strategy. I am very strategic by nature. I formulate a specific strategy and then employ the necessary tactics to implement that strategy. She tend to be more of a pure tactical thinker. Excellent at making the best decision in the moment, but not as strong at the long-term detailed planning. As such, she usually picks a very basic strategy, that may very well be far from optimal, and then focuses a 100% of effort on that one plan. It turns out that this is incredibly effective for winning games being played for the first time by your group, even if the rest of the group tends to be more hardcore than you. In fact, their own hardcore nature may even work against them!
The most hardcore players are prone to trying to create an optimal strategy even when they are too unfamiliar with a game to do so. This natural urge can cause them to make a number of mistakes that they would not make after a few plays. Whether a result of ego or the force of habit, this often places these hardcore players at a disadvantage when playing games for the first time. This provides exactly the opening Heather's style of play requires to have a very high success rate! Rather then fumble about trying to act like she knows the game perfectly, she picks an element of the game that offers decent value and applies laser-like focus to it and often wins as a result!
After considering her track record of success, I decided to give this play style a try in a recent game of Stone Age in the Indy Gaming Series. I had never played, and neither had one of the other players, with the third having only played three times over a number of years. After a shortened practice game, to familiarize ourselves with the rules, which I lost terribly, I activated the Heather Plan! I proceeded to play a very low risk, highly focused strategy that virtually ignored entire elements of the game. I felt really good as the game was progressing. I had a sense of comfort from not trying to over think something I did not fully understand and when the final scores were totaled, I had won! Eureka! Not only had I won the game, but I had successfully field tested our theory regarding her tremendous success playing new games!
So, if you and your group are all trying out a new game, and you want to win, I strongly recommend giving the Heather Plan a go. It is officially my new strategy for such occasions and I expect that I will racking up quite a few more first time wins! Even though it might cost me a few extra dirty looks from Heather for stealing her move, it's totally worth it!

Chief Anthonio Deinde Fernandez, the Nigerian international businessman cum diplomat, who died on Tuesday, September 1, 2015, in Brussels, Belgium, will buried on Friday, September 18, 2015. Contrary to earlier news that he would be buried in Nigeria, ENCOMIUM Weekly has it on good authority that he will be buried in Brussels, Belgium.
The burial service will commence at 12 pm at Eglise Notre Dame du Sablon in Brussels. His remains will be interred at Cimetiere D'Lxelles, Chaussee de Boendael, 478.
ENCOMIUM Weekly gathered that the decision to bury the billionaire in a foreign land was taken at a meeting held by his immediate family in Brussels, Belgium, during the week.
His last wife, Halima Fernandez was said to have told the gathering of immediate family members that the late ambassador plenipotentiary's last wish was that he wanted to be buried in Brussels, Belgium.
The latest burial arrangement, ENCOMIUM Weekly learnt,may also have come because of many of the man's children, most of whom are said to be based abroad. Of all his nine children, only Chief (Mrs.) Teju Phillips is residing in Nigeria. All the eight others are based abroad.
But if what we heard is anything to go by, some people are not particularly happy with his burial arrangement.
For instance, Erelu Abiola Dosumu, one of the former wives of the late Deinde Fernandez and mother of one of his children wrote in City People that the man never wanted to be buried abroad.
Erelu wrote: "Your last wish was for you to be brought back to Nigeria and to be buried in Lagos."
ENCOMIUM Weekly also gathered that sometime in early October 2015, a reception will be held in his honour.
If the information we are getting is anything to go by, Chief (Mrs.) Teju Phillips, who just came back from abroad after the family meeting, will be leaving again on Tuesday, September 15 or Wednesday, September 16 for the burial on Friday, September 18, 2015, in Brussels, Belgium.

Hello everyone! St. Patrick's Day is right around the corner and I was in a green mood when I came up with this outfit below. I just love the color combo of emerald green and navy–both rich in colors that truly pair well together. Also add a touch of faux fur to instantly glam up an outfit much like this coat which is very petite-friendly–no need for alterations at all.
St. Patrick's Day is also a great time to reflect on how lucky I am to be given the opportunity to collaborate with some of the best brands out there and one of which is LAGOS. I've been falling in love with each and every piece given to me thus far and they are my most reached for items in my jewelry collection. I wear them almost every day and just love how versatile each piece is. I find myself able to wear one on its own or layer them all together effortlessly with any outfit.
The latest item added to my collection is the Caviar Color collection which comes in various beautiful gemstones: amethyst cabochon, rose de france, blue, green and white topaz. I opted for the white topaz ring with its neutral color which makes it easy to pair with outfits, but that blue topaz is also screaming my name! Whatever your color of choice may be, you can't go wrong with this collection. It's such a stunning statement ring that is sure to catch anyone's attention.
