It has been speculated for about a month now, but today it became official, the Cubs have announced they have reached an agreement to move their single A affiliate from Peoria to Kane County. Opening day for the Cougars will be Thursday, April 4.
"We are extremely excited about our new relationship with the Chicago Cubs," said Cougars General Manager Curtis Haug. "The close proximity between both organizations will be mutually beneficial in numerous ways. We believe that the Cubs organization and their philosophies about the minor leagues, including scouting, player development, and involvement in the community, are a fantastic fit for our franchise."
The Kane County Cougars are excited to bring the Cubs affiliate to town and so are the Cubs as the comments from Jason McLeod below.
"We are excited at the opportunity to work with the Kane County franchise," said Cubs Senior Vice President of Scouting/Player Development Jason McLeod. "The benefits of having one of our minor league clubs this close to Chicago are numerous and we look forward to starting this new relationship."
Not only is it exciting for the Cubs and the Cougars, but for so many Cub fans who can see some of the young, exciting Cubs talent so close to the Chicagoland area. The new contract with Kane County will last for two years, running through the 2014 season.
Thanks for Reading,

Sorry! There seems to be a problem connecting to our database
If your database credentials have been altered incorrectly, you might receive an unexpected screen when visiting your store:
There seems to be a problem connecting to our database. Please give us a few minutes
Read More
ERROR 0071: There appears to be a problem with the database. Maintenance is required.
NOTE: This page has been moved to:
This error generally means that one or more system tables cannot be found in the database.
This can occur if you've provided valid DB credentials in your configure.php files and the database itself exists but contains no tables. In this case you need to run zc_install to properly setup the database contents.
Further, this symptom most commonly occurs when moving your site to another server and not properly preserving the DB_PREFIX setting from the old site's configure.php into the new site's configure.php, thus the tablenames cannot be located because they don't match up properly. Or you need to run zc_install to create the proper tables. Or you need to import the correct matching database data, since what you've got in the database presently isn't suitable for your current DB_PREFIX configuration.
(To manually figure out the correct prefix to use, look at the database using phpMyAdmin and see what common 2-4 letter prefix starts all the tablenames. Then set that value into the DB_PREFIX definition in your configure.php file.)
Do I need SSL on my store website?
Many storeowners are uncertain whether they should add SSL to their site, citing various reasons, including cost and complexity of setup.
MODERN ANSWER: Yes, you should use SSL on your site. Not only does it lend to protecting sensitive information, but it is also becoming more and more important for good search engine ranking nowadays.
Now for the technical and bigger-picture explanation:
Here are the things to consider:
SSL encrypts communications between your customer's browser and your webserver. This means nobody can snoop on what they're transmitting to you (such as someone spying on internet traffic in a cafe or wifi hotspot, or library)
If your site is collecting credit card info directly in a page inside your store (ie: not redirecting to a bank or payment gateway site to collect card info for payment) then YES you absolutely MUST use SSL to protect your customers' payment information.

For over 40 years now, Lochmühle leisure park has been a popular day out in the Rhine-Main region for families with children. It is located in Wehrheim at the foot of the Taunus hills, near the spa town of Bad Homburg and Saalburg Roman fort.
Situated in the beautiful Erlenbach valley, Lochmühle is a lovingly designed and spaciously laid out leisure park with a rural charm dating from its day as a flour mill and farm. Animals and nature are among the main attractions here as you'll see at the miniature farm and the petting zoo. Stroking sheep, riding ponies, whizzing along on a rollercoaster or water bobsleigh, playing a round of mini golf – Lochmühle is one big adventure playground with so much to see and do! The park offers fun and variety from spring to autumn, with over 100 attractions and activities including bumper cars, a giant slide, a merry-go-round for the little ones, a duck carousel, giant bouncy cushions, fun bikes, pedal cars, an all-weather play hall, trampolines, barbecue areas and a field for ball games. Kids will also find it interesting and exciting to search for frogs in the shallow stream, ride the tractor train through the vegetable garden and visit the wheat and potato fields where the ingredients for our bread and chips are grown.
The many attractions at the 16-hectare park include an agricultural discovery trail, an agricultural museum and a Roman-themed loop trail, which passes a Roman fort on the UNESCO World Heritage Limes Route. Here visitors of all ages can learn about this ancient frontier of the Roman Empire, the fort itself and life in Roman times. The six waypoints on the discovery trail are both entertaining and educational, and make this the first – and currently only – attraction along the Roman Limes that gets information across in a fun way by using a themed trail. The day-to-day running of a farm is also exciting, particularly for children who live in the city. Come along and see what is going on inside the baby animal pen! There are also lots of domestic animals such as cows, pigs, goats and sheep that just love being stroked and fed by visitors, and more than ten adorable ponies that are waiting impatiently to show the younger ones the park and their stables!

Supergods (Hardcover)
What Masked Vigilantes, Miraculous Mutants, and a Sun God from Smallville Can Teach Us About Being Human
Spiegel & Grau, 9781400069125, 464pp.
Publication Date: July 19, 2011
Other Editions of This Title:
Paperback (6/26/2012)
Hardcover (7/1/2011)
From one of the most acclaimed and profound writers in the world of comics comes a thrilling and provocative exploration of humankind's great modern myth: the superhero
The first superhero comic ever published, Action Comics no. 1 in 1938, introduced the world to something both unprecedented and timeless: Superman, a caped god for the modern age. In a matter of years, the skies of the imaginary world were filled with strange mutants, aliens, and vigilantes: Batman, Wonder Woman, the Fantastic Four, Iron Man, and the X-Men—the list of names as familiar as our own. In less than a century, they've gone from not existing at all to being everywhere we look: on our movie and television screens, in our videogames and dreams. But what are they trying to tell us?
For Grant Morrison, arguably the greatest of contemporary chroniclers of the "superworld," these heroes are powerful archetypes whose ongoing, decades-spanning story arcs reflect and predict the course of human existence: Through them we tell the story of ourselves, our troubled history, and our starry aspirations. In this exhilarating work of a lifetime, Morrison draws on art, science, mythology, and his own astonishing journeys through this shadow universe to provide the first true history of the superhero—why they matter, why they will always be with us, and what they tell us about who we are . . . and what we may yet become.
About the Author
Praise For Supergods: What Masked Vigilantes, Miraculous Mutants, and a Sun God from Smallville Can Teach Us About Being Human…
Praise for SUPERGODS
"Grant Morrison is the antimatter to the often mundane world of comics - SUPERGODS is the finely tuned death-ray. Far beyond deconstruction, it exposes, challenges, invigorates and detonates everything we know about this modern mythology. SUPERGODS gives meaning to the fictional worlds we create and live within and helps us make sense of the madness within ourselves through the four-color world of the super hero." --Gerard Way, lead singer of My Chemical Romance and author of The Umbrella Academy.
"Excellent ... engrossing ... Morrison is a skilled word magician, seeking creativity in a cosmological dimension." --Publishers Weekly
"Morrison is ideally suited to the task of chronicling the glorious rise, fall, rise, fall and rise again of comic-book superheroes. As thorough an account of the superhero phenomenon as readers are likely to find, filled with unexpected insights and savvy pop-psych analysis. Those who dare enter will find the prose equivalent of a Morrison superhero tale: part perplexing, part weird, fully engrossing." --Kirkus
#1 in Wired's "10 Books That Will Fry Your Mind This Summer" "Grant Morrison has a hell of a tale to tell: The graphic novelist who co-created Batman's twisted game-changer Arkham Asylum: A Serious House on Serious Earth tripped on psilocybin mushrooms, fought movie execs to keep the Joker in high heels and reaped the benefits of going 50 hours without sleep in order to better access his unconscious. Subtitled What Masked Vigilantes, Miraculous Mutants, and a Sun God from Smallville Can Teach Us About Being Human, this trippy autobiography-cum-critical essay gathers up the deep thoughts and otherworldly hallucinations experienced by the comics writer." --Wired.com
NPR's "Summer High Fliers" "Grant Morrison is one of the world's leading experts on comic books, and he draws on his entire body of work in Supergods, charting the history of superheroes from the very beginning. Morrison places the figures we all know -- Superman, Spider-Man, the X-Men -- in a broad cultural context, invoking art history, science and mythology to explain why we are so fascinated by the superhuman." --NPR.org
Praise for Grant Morrison
"Grant Morrison is one of the great comics writers of all time. I wish I didn't have to compete with someone as good as him."—Stan Lee
"Grant's whole body of work inspired me."—Gerard Way, My Chemical Romance
"I suddenly realized that everything that I'm trying to say in my nonfiction work, and in some of my fiction work, had been so beautifully and so imaginatively expressed in the work of Grant Morrison."—Deepak Chopra

Another post for National Flood Safety Awareness Week: Here in the rainy Northwest, we can't say this often enough: a standard homeowners insurance policy does NOT cover flooding.
The good news is that flood insurance is widely available through the National Flood Insurance Program. It's a federally run insurance program, but sold by local agents and brokers. For most homeowners, the NFIP is the first stop for flood coverage.
If you live in an area with a high chance of flooding (a "Special Flood Hazard Area"), your lender will generally require you to have flood insurance. Even if you live in a minimal or moderate flood hazard area, you may still want to buy it.
There are, however, limits to federal flood insurance. For commercial structures, for example, the NFIP maximum is $500,000 for the building and $500,000 for the contents. Businesses also may need additional coverage that isn't available through the NFIP, such as business interruption coverage.

Edit 2/10/08: It's the third month and there's been a bit over 200 thread views, of which maybe 20-30 are mine, but zero replies. I think maybe there is too much set story and too much detail for anyone to deal with, or maybe its too hard to incorporate NCE inn-staff into one's posts, or whatever. I said after 3 months that if nothing progressed I would close the inn per the RP inn rules. I have just under 2 weeks to go, and so I thought I would edit this post to something lighter and simple and see if any interest comes along.
Edit 30/6/11: Due to many months of inactivity and my time constraints, I have written this Inn to an end. Thank you everybody who participated!
Having applied for and been granted a building and operation permit for an Inn here in the Prancing Pony, it is my hope that writers feeling an urge to do some un-scripted Middle-Earth RP and maybe want to interact with other writers in-character, polish their muse, and maybe even develop and spin off an RP story. Come and spend some time at The Shrouds of Varda. The innkeeper, servers, and bartender characters are to be considered neutral and therefore can be used in one's posts as needed. This will eliminate the requirement of an answering post from a controlled inn-staff character for services rendered (drinks, food, room requests, etc.) and allow for more interaction between the various writer's characters that enter the inn. Since this an 'Inn', there is no accompanying out-of-character thread, so if there is a need for an OOC, then tack it on either the beginning or end of your in-character RP post. Try and be brief, and no OOC-only posts. All the Guidelines and Rules for Role Playing in the Prancing Pony are in force, and I wish to put emphasis on section #2 and section #7. Its my hope that the majority of posts will contain both scene setting and thought narrative as well as dialogue in hopes that the tales will build while much fun ensues and this business venture is a success. Enjoy!

Shroud of Varda Inn - Fornost, sometime in the Fourth Age
In the Third Age, the Kingdom of Arnor was first ruled from the city of Annuminas, but later as the people dwindled, the ruling seat was moved to the fortress city of Fornost. The city was later destroyed by the armies of Carn Dum, but sometime after the return of the King, the city was again rebuilt. Just inside the gates of the new city to the right stood an old stone building that had survived the sack in reasonable good structural order, and now, as then, ithoused an inn. It was now called The Shrouds of Varda, and was a place where people from all parts of Middle Earth would visit after a long journey, or spend a last night of merriment before setting out the next day. Here too the local folk would gather to meet and talk over good food and drink and make merry. The inn got its name from its rooftop garden, where one could dine quietly in the midsummer twilight and watch the stars appear. But most opted for the warmth and bustle of the large common room.
Inside the two massive carved oak doors was a wide open square room with stone arches supporting the roof, allowing for no posts to obstruct the room. The right wall was lined with an oak bar where the drinks were served. Everything from spirits to fine local ale was available, and Touron the bartender knew his business. Scattered about the room were tall old wooden tables and some three-legged stools for those who preferred to sit, not stand. Many were worse for wear, but comfort was the norm in the common room. Sisters Brenae and Dawnae worked as serving maids, and brothers Marvol and Martli were serving waiters. Each would take turns with duties in the kitchen, collecting firewood, and tend the patrons steeds in the stables. A lively place this room, with words and deeds telling of travels and tales in the dim lustre of smoke-filled lamplight being the norm.
To the left just inside the great entrance was an archway that had stone stairs that went up, turning back to another flight that came to a doorway. Out this door was the rooftop garden, where in contrast, finely crafted wood tables, chairs, and benches were arranged among the foliage to allow for privacy. Luxury dining and favoured table service was the forte of the rooftop garden, and seating here could be requested if one wished.

ST. MORITZ, Switzerland - Sarah Reid started off slowly but finished with a bang Friday.
The Canadian sat eighth after her first run at the skeleton world championship but put together three strong subsequent efforts to capture a bronze medal.
The Calgary native posted a time of four minutes 40.01 seconds to earn her first career world championship medal.
"'I'm absolutely thrilled. I have no words," she said. "To be truthful, I thought about a medal before the race, but being eighth in the first run I thought it wasn't possible.
"Then I put down three good runs and I am just so happy."
Shelley Rudman of Britain won her first skeleton world championship after fending off a strong challenge from American Noelle Pikus-Pace. Rudman's one-second lead from the opening two runs Thursday was cut to 0.57 seconds by Pikus-Pace, who was fastest in the final two runs and took silver.
Following her slow start, Reid found herself .10 seconds out of third place heading into the final run.
"Even after the first day it was so tight that I knew I could climb up, but I didn't know if I could medal," she said. "Duff (coach Duff Gibson) and I had a chat between the third and fourth run and he said 'The person who has the best run will get the medal.'"
Mellisa Hollingsworth of Eckville, Alta., a two-time World Cup champion and Olympic bronze medallist, was fifth in 4:40.36.
"I was happy to have a final good run, but it is extremely obvious to me that I have to focus on skeleton and get training this summer," said Hollingsworth, who has also been competing in rodeo during the off-season. "I missed the medals because of my start.
"The coaches are extremely supportive, and we are getting my new sled in the lineup. I was getting used to it, but I just wasn't confident enough on it yet."
Cassie Hawrysh of Brandon, Man., was 12th in 4:42.59.
Reid has enjoyed a solid campaign, kicking off the pre-Olympic season with her first career World Cup medal by winning the season-opener in Lake Placid, N.Y. She finished second two weeks later in Whistler, B.C., and added another silver medal in La Plagne, France.
And on Friday she reached the podium at Temple, the world's lone non-refrigerated track that has hosted the 1928 and 1948 Olympic Winter Games.
"It is super cool to win a medal here," she said. "This is where the sport was born and it is such a special track.
"This year really feels surreal. I always felt I could medal at worlds, but I didn't expect it at the beginning of the year."
Pikus-Pace, the 2007 world champion in St. Moritz, got silver in her comeback season after a two-year competitive break from the sport.
"What a great day," Pikus-Pace said. "I felt so much better today and I am excited to be on the medal stand."
One course record was broken by junior world champion Elena Nikitina of Russia, who got the fastest start on the historic course at 5.20 seconds to the first time check.
Racers now head to Sochi, Russia, to complete the World Cup season in two weeks on the new sliding track built for the 2014 Winter Olympics.
The final two runs of the men's skeleton will be held Saturday.

A bit of sound advice
The weak and ill-hearted have been psychologically captured in the lures of Shaytan. To protect our selves a few recommendations of our pious predecessors should be taken into consideration; which should truthfully be pre requisites in our lives anyway.
1. Regular in five time obligatory prayers and practice on whatever Islamic knowledge is possessed.
2. Recite Ta-awuz (auzu billah) in abundance.
3. Recite Quraan daily with Ta-awuz & Tasmiyah (Bismillah).
4. Never have jealousy for anyone else.
5. Never have an evil eye against others.
6. Never Believe or trust those who claim to practice magic.
7. Never be involved in Magic or Magicians.
8. Assign full faith and trust in Allah the Most Magnificent creature, sustainer and protector.
The evil eye is a mental or physical condition of instability that over powers the person affected. This can be caused by another human or jinn.
There is a sound hadith to prove this from Umm Salama, that the prophet
(SAW)saw a slave girl in her house with yellowness in her face.He said, 'Use a spell for her. She has been afflicted by the evil eye.'(Al Bukhari relates it in the Book of Medicine)
Al-Bukhari relates from Abu Hurayra that the Prophet (SAW) said, 'The evil eye is real and
The Prophet forbade tattooing.'
To prevent oneself from evil eyes or satanic jinns, that may have you misrender Allah, who takes care of us every second of our life, we must look at the verses in Surah Fussilat wherein Allah reminds us of our commitments, about himself being our protector and receiving protection from satanic Jinns.
"In the case of those who say "Our Lord is Allah", and further, stand straight and steadfast, The angels descend on them "Fear ye not!"(They suggest),"Nor grieve! But receive The glad tidings of the garden (of Bliss) That which ye were promised!
"We are your protectors in this life and in the hereafter: Therein you shall have all that your inner selves shall desire; therein you shall have all for which you ask.(C 41: V 30-31)
And if an evil whisper from Shaytan tries to turn you away then seek refuge in Allah.Verily he is the All-Hearer All-Knower.(C 41 :V 36)
Invocations ( Duas )
The scholars have prescribed many invocations. These invocations have been derived from Quran and Ahadith, some of which are for specific occasions. Here are a only a few:
1.Protection from Shaitan
It is narrated by Abu Hurayra (ra)that the Messenger of Allah(SAW)
said, Whoever says La Ilaha-Illa llah Wahdahu La sharika lahu, Lahul mulk wa Lahul Hamd, wa Huwa 'Alaa kulli shy-inn Qadeer. 100 times daily will get the reward for freeing 10 captives; he will get 100 blessings, 100 mistakes will be wiped out, it will be a protection for him/her from Shaitan all that day till the night. No one will get a better reward except who did more than that.
2.Al- Mutawazain
Seek refuge on a daily basis by reading Surah Al Falaq & Surah An naas (the two chapters of the holy Quran with the sequential numbers 113 and 114).
3.Fear Loneliness & insomnia
It is narrated by Umar ibn Shu aib(reh) through his father from his grandfather that the Messenger of Allah (saw)said,When someone is in a state of fear when sleeping he should say: I seek refuge with the whole words of Allah from his anger, His punishment and wickedness of people; and I seek refuge from the pricking of satans, and from their presence; therefore, no harm will hit him.
Jabir (ra)narrated that the messenger of Allah(saw)said, "When someone sees unpleasant dreams, he should spit to his left three times should seek refuge in Allah from the outcast Shaitan. Then he should turn to the other side of his sleep".
(Reported by Muslim,Abu Dawood,Nasaee and Ibn Majah).
5.Matrimonial Relationship
Ibn Abbas(ra) narrated that the prophet(saw)said,'When one of you comes to his wife he should say Bismillah!…O Allah! Protect us from Shaitan and protect our offspring from him too.' (Bukhari and Muslim)
6.Entering the House
Jabir (ra)says, I heard the prophet(saw)saying,When a person enters his house and he remembers Allahs name, as well as when he eats, Shaitan says: there is no way that we can inhabit and sleep here or eat at this house . However when he enters the house without remembering Allah, Shaitan says we have a place to live tonight; and if he does not remember the name of Allah at the time of eating, Shaitan says we have tonight a place to stay and food to eat. (Sahih Muslim)
7.Entering the Lavatory
This place is the most inhabited of all the places in the house. Therefore the prophet advised the Muslims to make a Dua before entering the washroom. It is narrated from Anas that when the Prophet(saw)intended to enter the washroom he would say, "In the name of Allah, O Allah I seek refuge in you from the males and females (of shaitans).

Welcome to Watch List, where we identify five things on TV to watch while you sit at home and perfect your transmogrification device. Soon, you will turn Susie down the block into a ferret. And there ain't NUTHIN' she can do about it. LET'S GO!
LOST (FINALE) – 9:00PM Sunday (ABC) Okay, so this is it. The final, two-and-a-half hour episode of that show you either can't stop watching, or can't stop hearing about from annoying people who can't stop watching it. ALL of your questions will be answered Sunday night. Well, some of them. Perhaps. Maybe a handful. Maybe, like 6% of them. But that's better than NO answers, isn't it? You people should be grateful they reveal anything at all! They don't have to. They could just end it with a smash to black and leave you feeling utterly violated. You know it's happened before.
Anyway, hopefully you'll get some closure on stuff. Can the Locke Ness Smoke Monster be stopped? Will Desmond unite the Sideways world with the real world? Will Jack and Kate do it? Will Ben be redeemed? Did Lazarus really come back from the dead? Will we ever all get along? WHO LEFT THIS CANDY WRAPPER ON THE ISLAND'S BEACH? IS THAT CANDY WRAPPER A CLUE? WILL WE ALL BE SUCKED INTO A GIANT BLACK HOLE FOR THE FINALE? So many questions. Prepare for Lost's final verdict. ANTICIPATION: HIGH!
LOST (PILOT) – 9:00PM Saturday (ABC) Before the finale, there's other stuff to set you up, like the rerun of the show's 2004 pilot episode, which remains the most expensive (and to many, flat out best) TV pilot ever filmed. I'm thinking about doing an experiment this weekend. I have only watched 30 minutes of "Lost" in my life. All I know about the show is from what I read. If I watch just the pilot to prepare, will I enjoy the finale as much as a Lostie who agonized over the show for six years? Will I like it even more, since I have no nagging questions? Will I understand a lick of what's going on? IS THERE GUM IN MY HAIR? It's a bold experiment in TV watching laziness. I'm just the fella for the task. ANTICIPATION: PLANE CRASH!
LOST (REVIEW) – 7:00PM Sunday (ABC) You can also get a two-hour recap of the show prior to the finale, to get you caught up in the Lost universe. Again, this is cheating, and I'm totally down with it. There's never been a show that spawned more recap episodes than this one. In fact, I've encountered so many "Lost" clip shows, I don't even know if there was an actual show to begin with. Mysterious. ANTICIPATION: CLIPPY!
CELEBRITY APPRENTICE – 9:00PM Sunday (NBC) And if "Lost" isn't your thing, tune into the finale of a show that requires NO research of any kind. Bret Michaels is in the finals against Holly Robinson Peete, but Michaels was just hospitalized for a third time this spring. Will he make it to the taping? Does it even matter, given his health? Not a bad fallback option for you non-Losties. ANTICIPATION: HAIRY!
ACM PRESENTS BROOKS AND DUNN, THE LAST RODEO – 8:00PM Sunday (CBS) And if "Lost" REALLY isn't your thing, there's this tribute to the country duo. No strokes or plot twists of any kind. ANTICIPATION: COUNTRY!
Weekend Watch List: The "Lost" Weekend
Welcome to Watch List, where we identify five things on TV to watch while you sit at home and perfect your transmogrification device. Soon, you will turn Susie down the block into a ferret. And there ain't NUTHIN' she can do about it. LET'S GO!

Finally I'm back behind the keyboard, I have an increasingly large list of events, recipes, anecdotes and articles in the back burner for 'Articuleat', (I just need to find the damn time to write them up).
The London pop-up scene has swallowed me up whole at the minute, in a big pile of edible insects and Thai food. Its amazing fun! Not to mention that the Begging Bowl is busier than ever. Thai food in London is booming and why not? It's awesome! I feel privileged to be part of it.
I will soon be updating you all with what I've been up to in my 'behind the whites section'. I've just finished another pop-up with EatGrub at the 'Hot House Rooftop' in London Fields. I'm also going to be helping Andy Oliver at his next pop-up with 'Som Saa', at the chilli festival 'chilli chilli bang bang' in Dalston Yard – all exciting stuff.
Now anyway I'm getting ahead of myself again. This recipe for you today is a fairly quick one to put together (once you have dried your own turmeric and ginger). It's the perfect accompaniment to a hot summer's day, which we all know should be enjoyed with a nice cold pint in one hand and a fork in the other (not that I've got out of the shade of the extraction fans much recently).
When I make this dish I like to make my own mild curry powder to add to my egg batter before frying. Fresh turmeric, like ginger, is a rhizome – a thick underground stem. Due to this it take a lengthy, but simple process to dry it out and grind to a powder. Both fresh spices can be dried in the same way – peel, thinly slice and dry in a warm dry place, on a drying rack for at least 24 hours (May need longer dependent on environment). You can buy pre-dried turmeric and ginger but it's in no way as good, or even similar to the real thing, try making it you'll love it (why not make loads and leave it in the kitchen for another day?). However, when working with red turmeric be carful, the stuff stains your bloody hands orange for days. The last thing you want is everyone thinking that you look like an 'umpa lumpa' from the neck down!
I also think it's important for me to talk you through making your own chilli powder. At the begging bowl we always use dried chillies and call it 'blue tongue'? Now that I think of it, I actually have no bloody idea why or where that came from? I'm assuming it's something to do with the fact that it's fucking hot and it will certainly leave you with a burning mouth if you're not careful. Now I'm lucky when making this as for best results it should be made in a wok (which I have at work), with a wok burner (very high heat). The intense temperature of the wok smokes the chillies whilst crisping them, making them easy to spice grind into a smoky, hot powder. I appreciate that unless you are some kind of maniac, you probably don't have a wok burner to hand at home? I have found the best way to do it at home is in a dry pan on a high heat on the stove top, keep the chillies moving until they start smoking, then cover with tin foil and place in a hot oven for 2-3 minutes allowing to smoke a little. Carful- if you breathe in the smoke, you will cough. I also like to use 50/50 dried birds eye chillies to dried long red chillies, this gives the chilli powder a fiery hot, smokey and sweet flavour. It's great when added to the curry powder.
When grating the vegetables to make this fritter (the daikon and sweet potato), it's important to julienne them evenly to ensure it all cooks at a similar rate when being deep-fried. If your knife skills are still in practice, I suggest using a papaya shredder, or something of similar function. For anyone that is unsure what a Daikon is, it's a type of radish. It's also known as 'mooli' or Oriental radish and is much larger than a normal radish, they can be found in most good Asian supermarkets with a fresh vegetable section. If grating daikon (which we are) it's important to use it as quickly as possible to retain the crisp, crunchy freshness.
The natural sweetness of tiger prawns are a great accompaniment to this lightly curried fritter. Once our home-made curry powder is completed, the vegetables, prawns and Thai Basil are tossed through a light egg batter and deep-fried to make the fritters. This is then served with a sweet, sour and fiery hot Nham jim dipping sauce- delicious.
This recipe was adapted from something I was shown from Andy Oliver, it is in no way the same (or as good) but feel I should credit him anyway – cheers Bandy Boliver.
I think that's enough from me for one day and I'm sure you guys want to get cooking so I'll leave you to it.
Enough to satisfy two people with a light lunch:
Ingredients (leaves loads spare to use another time, scale down if you want)
(For the curry powder)
-1tbspn, black peppercorns
-3tbspn, coriander seeds
-3tbspn, cumin seeds
-1tbspn cloves
-1tbspn fennel seeds
-15, Thai cardamom pods
-15, pik kwan, stems removed
-3tbspn home made chilli powder (1tbspn dried birds eye chillies, 1tbspn dried long red chillies, follow instructions above)
-5tbspns, ground, home-made dried ginger (follow instructions above for drying)
-7tbspns, ground, home-made dried turmeric (follow instructions above for drying)
(For the Nham jim dipping sauce)
-7, peeled garlic cloves
-5, green birds eye chillies, roughly chopped
-2tbspn, coriander root, finely chopped
-3tbspn, caster sugar (might need more to taste)
-300ml, fresh lime juice (might need more/or less to taste
-150ml, fish sauce, I like the mega chef brand best (might need more/or less to taste)
-2, mandarins, juiced
(For everything else)
-6 whole tiger prawns, body shells and shit removed, tails and head still attached
-1, sweet potato, julienned or shredded
-200g, daikon, julienned or shredded
-20g Thai Basil, picked
-10g, white sesame seeds
-2, free-range eggs
-100ml sparkling water
-1tbspn, rice flour
-1pinch Malden sea salt
-2 litres, cooking oil (for deep-frying)
- Ok so firstly let's get the spices toasted and the curry powder made. Have all you spices separated to start, as they need to be added to the pan at different times. The ginger, turmeric and chilli powder is already good to go if you followed my instructions in the writing above. In a large flat pan toast the spices on a low heat. When toasting spices you should always heat them in terms of their size, larger spices first and for longer ( as a larger object takes longer to toast). Once a spice begins to change colour and release a fragrant smell it is ready to use. The only spices that should not be toasted according to size are peppercorns as they pop and explode, just add them at the end and let the other spices warm them through. One toasted, add the ginger, turmeric and chilli powder then spice grind together to make the curry powder.
- Next make the fritter, heat the oil in a deep pan to 180 degrees. In a mixing bowl whisk together 1tbspn of the home-made curry powder, 1tbspn of rice flour, 1 pinch of Malden sea salt, the sparkling water and the eggs, beat to a pale mixture then rest in the fridge for a few minutes. In another mixing bowl, combine the prawns, shredded sweet potato, daikon, sesame seeds and the Thai basil. Pour the batter over all of this then mix with your hands until everything is covered in the egg mixture.
- Now the fritters are ready to be cooked. However if you throw the mixture in as is, it will break up and not cook together. Use a kitchen spider (large spoon with holes it it) to gently lower handfuls of the fritter mixture into the oil, making sure that the vegetables have cooked together, holding the fritters in one piece. Cook batches of the mixture one at a time for around 2-3 minutes in the oil, moving regularly to ensure an even cook. When ready remove from oil and leave to drain on kitchen roll.
- Meanwhile make your Nham jim dipping sauce, fresh is always best with a lime juice based product. In a pestle and mortar, pestle the coriander root, garlic then chillies in this order to a coarse paste, using sea salt as an abrasive if necessary. Next add the caster sugar and pound for a few seconds using the sugar as a second abrasive. Lastly add the lime, mandarin juice and fish sauce to make the dipping sauce. It should taste sweet, salty, sour and hot, adjust seasoning accordingly. An exact recipe is impossible as ingredients strengths change constantly.
- Serve the fritters garnished with some fresh Thai Basil leaves and enjoy.
Thanks very much for stopping by at 'Articuleat' and I hope you have enjoyed your stay. I always look forward to your feedback so please don't hesitate to get in touch for any reason whatsoever – I will reply as swiftly as possible.
See you next time,

I like cereal. I think most people do. In my house we usually have around seven or eight boxes going at any given time—a few twig-like whole-grain brands for me, some corn-syrup-laden-cartoon-character business for my husband, and a couple of kid-friendly healthy cereals for my son. Theoretically, we could all eat the same kind of cereal (Honey-Nut Cheerios would probably be the intersection of our collective sweet spot) but there are so many options out there, why bother to compromise?
The other day in the grocery store I counted 164 kinds of cereal. And I'm not including hot cereals. 164. Now, I'm all for having choices and I know that I should feel privileged to live in a country where we have the freedom to choose exactly which cereal best fits our individual needs, blah, blah, blah. But I do think there's a gray area between, say, abundant choice and piggish consumerist overindulgence.
I think this dilemma of too much choice is the hardest on kids. Kids today have so many options in a whole variety of things—from afterschool activities and sports to brands of sneakers and energy drinks—that it can be overwhelming at times because all of these choices are SO! DARN! EXCITING! It's like being in Times Square and not knowing where to look.
But I think the real problem is, that in a culture of infinite choices, you don't really need to make a choice at all because you can always try something else on for size. Download a new song, then decide you don't like it—move on to the next band. Think you might love that new Pepsi One then realize you're more of Coke Zero person—that's okay, try again. We've added so many options in our consumer culture that the moment of reflection when making a purchase is no longer necessary. Why bother to think when we can just have?
And I can't help but wonder if this kind of carelessness has had an impact on other stuff, like divorce rates, or the mortgage crisis, if we've just become so accustomed to making disposable choices, we've lost our ability to choose what's truly right for us.
Don't get me wrong; I like having options as much as the next guy. But, I'd be hard pressed to find a reason why any store needs to offer 36 (yes, this is a real number) different kinds of toilet paper.

A woman was cut out of a vehicle Thursday afternoon after a three-vehicle accident trapped her on West U.S. 6 in Morris.
The accident occurred around the 4200 block, said Chief Tracey Steffes of the Morris Fire Protection and Ambulance District on Friday.
Responders were on scene within two minutes because it was so close to Station 2.
Powell was pinned in her vehicle and was cut out and transported to Morris Hospital, but her injuries were not life-threatening.
A second vehicle rolled over and the male driver was also transported with non life-threatening injuries. A third driver refused medical treatment.
Lauren Powell, 24, of Morris, was cited by Grundy County police for failure to reduce speed to avoid an accident.
Morris fire had a helicopter put on standby, as it does for all entrapments, Steffes said, but the helicopter never had to be used.
Through a new Helicopter Early Launch Opportunity (HELO) program, LifeStar helicopters are called for all accidents involving entrapment so they can begin their preflight checks and get to the scene faster if they end up being needed.
Often, entrapments result in traumatic injuries and a helicopter is needed for the fastest transport, Steffes said, although this time the "victim was lucky."

Follow in the footsteps of dinosaurs across and ancient inland seabed and experience the rugged beauty of some of the most dramatically changing landscape in Australia when you embark on this fascinating drive through Queensland's north west outback.
Fully sealed roads lead you from the largest inland city and mining heart of Australia, Mount Isa, on a round circuit through unique towns such as Julia Creek, Cloncurry, Richmond, Hughenden and Winton. You'll hear the bush legends of yesteryear and meet the colourful characters that live and work here today. They'll greet you with a warm g'day and send you on the trail of dinosaurs where you can fossick for your very own valuable fossils.
While this drive can be conquered in a two-wheel-drive vehicle, some of the detours and side trips may be better suited to a four-wheel-drive. Whatever vehicle you're travelling in, be sure to check the road conditions before you head off on this adventure of a lifetime.
|1210 Kilometres
After arriving in Mount Isa, spend the afternoon exploring Australia's outback mining capital. The best place to start is The Outback at Isa visitor centre, where you can tour a replica mine built and operated by actual miners and head to the underground hospital for a dose of WW2 history.
Step further back in time by walking through a miocene forest brimming with peculiar looking creatures and hear Dreamtime stories whilst gazing at magnificent Aboriginal rock carvings and paintings at the Kalkadoon Tribal Centre.
As you travel east, the rugged Selwyn Ranges emerge from the horizon. Sprinkled with spinifex, they take on a different appearance every hour of the day as the sun arcs through the sky bathing them in changing light. View some of the oldest art on earth at Sunrock and then head on to Cloncurry.
Built on the copper and beef industries Cloncurry is home to the huge open mine pit of the Ernest Henry Mine, named after the bloke who first discovered copper in the area. Learn about the history of the outback's greatest savior, the Reverend John Flynn, who launched the Royal Fling Doctor Service in the late 1920s.

Upon reaching Richmond, a visit to Kronosaurus Korner should be high on your list. Journey back 100 million years, when this whole area was below the water-line of a great inland sea. Study the remains of Australia's best-preserved dinosaur skeleton, Minmi, which takes pride of place alongside the Richmond Pliosaur, which is Australia's best vertebrate fossil and one of the world's finest Pliosaur skeletons.
If fossil fever takes hold, grab a map and head to one of the free fossicking sites close to town. Almost every stone overturned contains some form of fossilised material and impressive bones are still commonly found. Then have your finds identified by the resident fossil curator.
Next, it's off to Hughenden, which lies on the banks of Queensland's longest river. To greet you is a mammoth life-size dinosaur replica, locally referred to as 'Hughie'.
The next stop, Winton, is best known as the place where Banjo Paterson penned and first performed Australia's adopted anthem, 'Waltzing Matilda'. Hear the ghost of the swagman by the billabong and lots more at the fabulous Waltzing Matilda Centre. Spend the day exploring quirky Winton with its outback country pubs, the open-air Royal Theatre, Arno's Wall and the Music fence.

On the road to Mount Isa, pull over and have morning tea beneath huge red river gums and coolibah trees on Combo Waterhole, 145 kilometres out of Winton. This deep, semi-permanent billabong is believed to be the site that inspired the writing of Waltzing Matilda by Banjo Paterson in 1895. Afterwards walk across the stone-pitched overshot weir, built by Chinese labourers, more than a century ago.
Kynuna is just a couple of clicks down the road. You can't drive past the famed Blue Heeler Hotel and not have a peep inside. Some locals are keen to tell you that this is the bar where Banjo swigged beer and performed his verse. Buy a drink and earn the right to put your name up on the wall.
Next stop is the small outback town of McKinlay and, yes, another famous outback pub. While it's not actually in the fictional Northern Territory town of Walkabout Creek, McKinlay's Walkabout Creek Hotel is Mick Dundee's waterhole in the Crocodile Dundee films. The town is home to Australia's smallest public library and the BHP Cannington Mine is just down the road.
From here it's an easy run back through Cloncurry and into Mount Isa.

An analysis of income data by The Pew Charitable Trusts found that younger cohorts of investors are more likely to experience downward economic mobility in their retirement than older investors. Generation X is especially at risk to suffer a downgrade in lifestyle after retirement.
"The two youngest cohorts studied are on shaky financial ground," Diana Elliott, research manager for the economic mobility program, said on a media briefing covering the results. "Generation X is undoubtedly in worse shape."
The report analyzed data from the Survey of Consumer Finances and the Panel Study of Income Dynamics to compare trends in wealth and project retirement replacement rates for five age groups: Depression babies, born between 1926 and 1935; war babies, born between 1936 and 1945; early boomers, born between 1946 and 1955; late boomers, born between 1956 and 1965; and Generation X, born between 1966 and 1975. Generation Y was excluded from the report to focus the analysis on people in their prime working years between 1989 and 2010, Erin Currier, director of the economic mobility project, said on the call.
Earlier boomers were in better financial shape in 2010 than either of the older cohorts. Investors born between 1946 and 1955 benefited from the dot-com boom and the housing bubble, and consequently had higher financial net worth, overall wealth and home equity in their 50s and 60s than war babies or Depression babies did at the same age.
In their 30s and 40s, net worth for Gen X was higher than late boomers at that age, but both groups had lower levels of wealth than earlier boomers. In terms of financial net worth, which looks at savings accounts and retirement accounts without including nonfinancial assets, neither Gen X nor late boomers are on track to exceed older cohorts.
Furthermore, Gen X and both boomer cohorts are accumulating debt rather than eliminating it like the oldest cohorts. The analysis found that as of 2010, war babies' assets were 27 times higher than their debt. Late boomers assets were four times higher than their debt, and Gen X had just double.
The analysis also looked at the specific effects of the recession on different cohorts' financial situations. All groups took a hit, but it was felt most keenly by Gen X. The report noted that the boomer cohorts were hit at a "critical point" in their lives and lost 28% and 25% respectively. Gen X, however, lost 45% of their wealth between 2007 and 2010.
"Generation X experienced the largest percentage decline in median net worth," Currier said. "They already had low levels of wealth to begin with."
In fact, Pew found that even after the recession, early boomers still had enough savings to replace between 70% and 80% of their preretirement income. Gen X is on track to replace only half, and late boomers may be able to replace about 60%.
The report noted that retirement preparedness has become more uneven within cohorts, too. A comparison of the most and least prepared households found that the "typical retiree," one at the median replacement rate, had a replacement rate between three and six times higher than those who were least prepared. The most prepared retirees had a replacement rate about 12 times higher than the median. "Importantly, however, this growing inequality in retirement readiness is due to median replacement rates declining, not to the highest rates rising," according to the report.

Download Alistair MacLean Study Guide
(Masterpieces of Fiction, Detective and Mystery Edition)
Alistair Stuart MacLean was born in Glasgow, Lanarkshire, Scotland. MacLean approached authorship as a business and apparently considered himself a businessman rather than a celebrity. Many facts about his early life are not generally known. He was educated at Glasgow University. During World War II, he served in the Royal Navy, an experience that he later put to good literary use. Many of the adventures in his novels occur at sea, and several of his best-known works are set during World War II.
After the war, MacLean taught English and history at Rutherglen, a secondary school in Glasgow. In 1954, he entered a literary competition in the Glasgow Herald, and his sea story "The Dileas" won the hundred-pound prize over nine hundred other entries. His first novel, H.M.S. Ulysses, appeared in England in 1955 and in the United States the next year. Thereafter, despite his initial doubts that he could succeed as a writer, he produced a book virtually every year until his death. In 1961, he adopted the pseudonym Ian Stuart while continuing to write steadily under his own name. He became an accomplished scenarist—in fact, he first wrote several of his novels in the form of screenplays.
Of MacLean's first marriage, like much of his private life, little is known except that it produced three sons. His second marriage, to Mary Marcelle Georgeus, a film production company executive, took place in 1972. He lived in England for a time, operating a small chain of hotels until he lost his taste for that business. He eventually took up residence near Geneva, Switzerland. His interest in science and astronomy, especially science as applied to technology, is apparent in his fiction. While visiting a friend in Munich, West Germany, he suffered a stroke. Three weeks later, on February 2, 1987, he died of heart failure in a Munich hospital.

Providing separate ministries for children, teens, and young adults is how churches lean into knowledge of childhood development and adolescence. It's how the body of Christ walks beside parents to teach kids to embrace and live out the gospel. It's about meeting kids on their level, and sharing the gospel in a way that makes sense to them.
But that doesn't mean there won't be children's ministry challenges.
In Relational Children's Ministry: Turning Kid-Influencers Into Disciple Makers, Awana's Dan Lovaglia highlights some of the key issues with children's ministry today.

United Nations Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon has appointed former British Prime Minister Gordon Brown to the position of United Nations Special Envoy for Global Education.
The appointment builds upon Mr. Brown's impressive commitment to education as a fundamental right of every child. He has demonstrated unquestionable passion advocating extensively with world leaders, civil society, and the business community to keep the promise of quality education for all by 2015.
As Special Envoy, Mr. Brown will devote himself to working closely with all key partners to help galvanize support for the Secretary-General's Global Initiative on Education (Education First), which aims to achieve quality, relevant, and inclusive education for every child. He will focus on countries with the highest burden of children out of school, recognizing that nearly half of out of school children are in countries affected by conflict. He will help bring about change, mobilize resources and generate additional and sufficient funding.
The Secretary-General is confident Mr. Brown will be a genuine champion for the world's most poor and that his passion and conviction will re-energize international action for everyone's right to opportunity through education.
