The South African Police Service (SAPS) is currently facing challenges related to HIV & AIDS. In this CAI discussion paper, I argue that the HIV epidemic is driven by interrelated risk factors, some of which suggest that SAPS personnel, under certain circumstances, stand a greater risk of contracting HIV & AIDS than many other sub-populations in South Africa. The main aim of this paper is to identify the key drivers of the HIV epidemic in the SAPS. In order to do this, I conducted a meta-analysis of literature on the key drivers of the HIV epidemic in the SAPS using data sourced from a SAPS human resource database over a six-year period (2003/04 - 2008/09).
Key drivers of the HIV epidemic
Evidence from a study on HIV & AIDS and the SAPS conducted in 2003 shows that the nature of their work renders police officers highly susceptible to HIV infection.(2) In this section, I outline some of the key drivers of the HIV epidemic in the SAPS in particular.
- Exploitation of sex workers
In South Africa, exploitation of sex workers by police officers is significant. A study conducted in 2006 by the Sex Workers' Education and Advocacy Taskforce (SWEAT) reported that 30% of surveyed sex workers said that police officers abused them sexually.(3) In some instances, sex workers are forced to have sex with police officers to evade arrest.(4)
A broader literature review also reveals that when sex workers are being sexually exploited, they have little power to negotiate safe sex.(5) In 2004 the Centre for HIV and AIDS Networking (HIVAN) conducted a study which tested 247 sex workers for HIV and established that 45% of these women were HIV positive. Sex workers who had been in the trade for only three months exhibited similar levels of infection to those who had been working for a year.(6) Thus, sexual abuse of sex workers renders police officers highly susceptible to HIV infection.
- Working away from home
Researchers argue that police officers working away from their families are especially susceptible to HIV.(7) They are removed from their social support structures, including families and regular sexual partners.(8) As a result, they often feel lonely and bored, particularly when off duty, and this increases the likelihood of their engaging in risky sexual behaviour. The findings also show that police officers' wives are often left in difficult financial circumstances. Hence, they too are often driven by need and loneliness to find other supportive (sexual) partners, who also assume some of their financial obligations.(9)
- Alcohol abuse
Alcohol has been identified as a significant driver of the HIV epidemic in the SAPS. Police officers engage in alcohol abuse as a way of dealing with stress caused by the nature of their work.(10) A study on drug abuse found that alcohol abuse influences police officers to engage in unsafe sex.(11) It argued that 75% of people in a drunken state find it difficult to use condoms during sex. The findings show that male police officers are more vulnerable than female officers to this particular problem because they consume more alcohol.(12) Similarly, a study by the Centre for Aids Development, Research, and Evaluation (CADRE) found that alcohol intoxication impairs nearly every aspect of information processing, making it more likely that drinking police officers will engage in risky sexual activities. In addition, it correlated heavy alcohol use with a lifetime tendency toward high-risk sexual behaviour.(13) It is therefore possible to state that alcohol lowers inhibitions, diminishes the ability to assess risks, and may increase sexual aggression – a correlation which accounts for the measured relationship between alcohol and police officers' risky sexual activity.
One-night stands
Police officers are further susceptible to HIV because they engage in spontaneous sexual relationships, otherwise known as one-night stands (even though these might include more than one sexual encounter). Findings from a study conducted in Kenya, Tanzania and Uganda on HIV & AIDS and uniformed services show that in these situations there are no premeditated arrangements regarding behaviour, and there is no pledge of any subsequent intimate relationship.(14) Thus, police officers engage in sexual encounters with partners they do not know well and with whom they have no immediate expectation of starting long-term sexual relationships. In addition, they have minimal time to get to know each other before indulging in sex. Evidence shows that one-night stands can take place repeatedly with the same partner but not but not regularly.(15) This practice makes police officers especially vulnerable to HIV infection.
Multiple and concurrent sexual partnerships
Data shows that police officers are also susceptible to HIV infection because they engage in sexual relationships with many partners at the same time or within the same period of time (16) – a practice known as having concurrent sexual partnerships. This practice is exacerbated by the fact that police officers are deployed to work in different local communities. Concurrent sexual relationships are highly risky because they link police officers to sexual networks with sex workers, men who have sex with men, and injection-drug users.(17) Data also shows that when engaging in sex with regular partners, police officers tend not to use condoms, argueing that they trust their partners – when in fact their partners have many partners as well.(18)
- Occupational conditions
In addition to the above-mentioned hazards, my meta-analysis shows that police officers are prone to HIV because they come into contact with blood – mostly when dealing with victims of motor vehicle accidents and victims of violent crimes. This includes removing dead bodies from crime scenes.(19) Their work involves apprehending dangerous criminals and interacting with risk groups such as intravenous-drug users and sex workers.(20) They are also at risk when analysing forensic evidence at crime scenes and in laboratories.(21) A study in Europe analysed 112 exposures of police officers to blood and concluded that the risk of HIV infection amongst police officers was low. When 79% of these cases of exposure were tested, it was found that only 4% were HIV positive.(22) However, literature suggests that police officers are not aware of standing orders concerning the reporting of occupational exposure.(23) The SAPS Annual Report for 2004/05 indicates that close to two-thirds (63%) of police officers thought that they were at risk of contracting HIV while doing their work, while 45% considered that their work put them at high risk of infection and a small proportion, 15% considered their work to be low-risk.(24)
The SAPS Annual Report for 2004/05 shows that police officers are also at high risk of HIV infection as a result of stress associated with police work. The findings show that police work often involves working away from home, which disrupts social and family life and even sleeping patterns.(25) Researchers found that police exposure to trauma can result in post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Though stress and PSTD can be treated using clinical psychological interventions, police officers are often unwilling to seek psychological help.(26) This unwillingness arises from a culture of masculinity and a fear of being placed on sick leave, which is culturally stigmatising.(27) The composite of stress and psychological problems influences police officers to resort to high-risk activities to "let off steam."(28)
- Inadequate information
Evidence shows that the SAPS has only recently begun to educate its personnel about HIV & AIDS.(29) In addition, prevention activities in the SAPS are not prioritised by senior management and poorly implemented. As a result they have had little impact on police officers' high-risk behaviour.(30) The SAPS Annual Report for 2004/05 shows that voluntary counselling and testing (VCT) was only introduced in 2003. There were a mere 167 counsellors, while 257 were estimated to be needed. The number of personnel per counsellor was 787. In 2008/09 there were 1,237 counsellors, with the vacancy rate of 14.1 causing counsellors to have huge workloads.(31) As a result, despite the high-risk environment in which police officers operate, findings show that many do not have adequate information on how their environment may put them at risk of contracting HIV.(32)
The findings show that police officers are additionally vulnerable to HIV because of stigma. Researchers have found that police officers concealed their status in order not to damage their chances of promotion or to avoid the possibility of being declared medically unfit, which is stigmatising.(33) Data also shows that poor pensions for police officers force HIV-positive officers to remain in the service as long as possible, which carries with it the risk that they will have more time to engage in high-risk sexual activities while on duty.
The overall meta-analysis presented in this discussion paper shows that the drivers of the HIV epidemic in the SAPS, as well as the impact of HIV & AIDS, are neglected areas of research. This lack of information extends even to the most basic and fundamental issues such as the vulnerability of police officers to HIV & AIDS and its impact on the SAPS. In order to close these gaps in knowledge, there needs to be more thorough research, including new data collections and revamped analyses of previous studies. These previous studies should be replaced with more nuanced and case-specific approaches.

There are 6 very special days coming up in November, known as Skanda Sashti. These 6 days are especially important for those who want to improve their finance, relationship and courage. The Warrior Archetype, Muruga, is associated with the constellation called the Pleiades, in particular, the star Krittika that is one of the primary stars in this constellation.
This heavenly being, Lord Muruga, is committed to the evolution of the human race from a limited human being to an unlimited godhead. Muruga is Shiva himself with the third eye, so Muruga is the God of the 3rd eye. Skanda Sashti celebrates the birth of Muruga from the 3rd eye of Lord Shiva, it starts when the New Moon is in the Vishaka constellation (Libra and Scorpio) and goes to the 6th day of the Waxing Moon which is: November 3rd to the 8th. This is when Muruga's Highest Power emerges on the earth plane readily available for you to absorb into your own core essence.
In your horoscope the 6th house signifies debts, disease and litigation. Lord Muruga has the ability to relieve you from problematic legal matters. His 6 lettered mantra will vanquish enemies, ensure success in legal tangles, provide relief from debts and bestow good health.
If you have a weak or an afflicted Mars connect with Archetypal Being Muruga during these 6 Nights. As the planetary overlord for Mars, He can intercede on your behalf and strengthen Mars directly which protects spousal relationships.
Muruga is also closely associated with the nakshatras (stars) Krittika, Mrigasira, Chitra, Vishakha and Dhanishta. Any person born under these stars has an innate ability to resonate with Lord Muruga's power and participating whole-heartedly in the fire rituals can achieve remarkable life changing results.
Skanda Sashti is the name given to the annual astronomical positioning of the 6 Stars that brings to the Earth plane, a cluster of energies, the Power of 6. They are:-
Skanda Sashti is the powerful time to quickly increase your vibrations for power, new perceptions and perfect body and health. Beginning on the day after the New Moon in October-November, and continuing through to the 6th day of the Waxing Moon, you can readily connect and utilize the energy from the Pleiades.
There are 6 particular vortexes of Muruga's energy that become especially activated during Skanda Sashti. They vibrate with the frequencies necessary to transform your current self into your highest self. The six places are believed to be the different battle camps of Lord Muruga (Skanda) and are known as the 6 Battle Stations of Muruga.
During Skanda Sashti, at this time with this particular star alignment, the vortices open wider to receive and transmit the higher Pleiadian energies. We can experience this new environment with the higher intelligence, the power and courage of a self-realized, peaceful warrior Skanda.
We find that interesting legends are associated with each of these temples of Archetypal Being Muruga. Specific energy points in Southern India vibrate with the frequencies of the Pleiades star cluster and higher consciousness that serve to awaken us to our full potential. Each of the 6 Battle stations emits a specific energy to connect to and attract the powers that we require during the Golden Age or the New Age of Consciousness.

PHOENIX (AP) -- Chris Sale breezed into the fifth inning with two-hit ball shortly after being chosen the White Sox's opening-day starter, and Chicago beat the Milwaukee Brewers 6-3 Monday.
Sale struck out three in 4 1-3 innings, allowing only a two-out single to Khris Davis in the first and a two-out single to Jean Segura in the third. The two-time All-Star allowed six earned runs in 2 2-3 innings in his previous Cactus League start against San Diego, but he was much sharper this time.
The White Sox took a 4-3 lead in the ninth when Jared Mitchell scored on a fielder's choice by Jeff Keppinger. Milwaukee manager Ron Roenicke challenged umpire Scott Barry's call at home plate but it was upheld by video replay. Andy Wilkins followed with a two-run single.
Roenicke has now challenged five calls this spring with all five being upheld by the umpires.
Jordan Danks snapped a scoreless tie with a two-run homer off Brewers reliever Johnny Hellweg in the seventh.

Marxists and revolutionaries that shook the world | Thomas Sankara
"You cannot carry out fundamental change without a certain amount of madness. In this case, it comes from nonconformity, the courage to turn your back on the old formulas, the courage to invent the future. It took the madmen of yesterday for us to be able to act with extreme clarity today. I want to be one of those madmen. […] We must dare to invent the future." (1985)
Thomas Sankara . Get to know him. Trust me.

METALLICA: Official 45-Minute Video Recap Of Final 30th-Anniversary Show - Jan. 3, 2012
METALLICA has posted a 45-minute video recap of the fourth and final intimate show at the Fillmore in San Francisco as part of the week-long celebration of its 30th anniversary as a band for fan club members only. Check it out below.
Former METALLICA members Dave Mustaine (currently in MEGADETH), Jason Newsted, Lloyd Grant, Ron McGovney, Hugh Tanner, along with the band's longtime producer Bob Rock, as well as BLACK SABBATH legends Ozzy Osbourne and Geezer Butler joined METALLICA on stage on December 10 for the fourth show at the Fillmore.
After opening sets from THE SOUL REBELS brass band and DEATH ANGEL, as well as an appearance by FAITH NO MORE/ex-OZZY OSBOURNE drummer Mike Bordin — who took to the stage with METALLICA bassist Robert Trujillo to honor late METALLICA bassist Cliff Burton — METALLICA rocked the crowd with another 20-song set which featured selections culled largely from the band's classic debut album, 1983's "Kill 'Em All", and included a previously unreleased track from the "Death Magnetic" sessions called "Rebel Of Babylon".
The band's setlist was as follows:
01. Orion
02. Through the Never
03. Ride the Lightning
04. The God That Failed
05. Welcome Home (Sanitarium)
06. Rebel Of Babylon (previously unreleased song from "Death Magnetic" sessions)
07. Blackened (with fan-club members Dennis, Annette Diaz)
08. Dirty Window (with Bob Rock)
09. Frantic (with Bob Rock)
10. Sabbra Cadabra (BLACK SABBATH cover) (with Geezer Butler)
11. Iron Man (BLACK SABBATH cover) (with Ozzy Osbourne, Geezer Butler)
12. Paranoid (BLACK SABBATH cover) (with Ozzy Osbourne, Geezer Butler)
13. King Nothing (w/ Jason Newsted)
14. Whiplash (w/ Jason Newsted)
15. Motorbreath (w/ Hugh Tanner)
16. Phantom Lord (w/ Dave Mustaine)
17. Jump In The Fire (w/ Dave Mustaine)
18. Metal Militia (w/ Dave Mustaine)
19. Hit The Lights (w/ Lloyd Grant, Dave Mustaine, Ron McGovney)
20. Seek & Destroy (w/ Jason Newsted, Dave Mustaine, Lloyd Grant, Ron McGovney, Hugh Tanner, Mark Osegueda, and THE SOUL REBELS)
Frontman James Hetfield told The Pulse Of Radio that METALLICA hoped to make the shows special for the people attending. "It is a fan celebration — everyone who's come along the METALLICA ride for 30 years — and we're constantly wanting to give to the fans what they don't normally get from some other band or some other connection," he said. "So these four shows at the Fillmore are something like that."
The other three shows took place on December 5, December 7 and December 9, with special guests and events, rare songs, varied set lists and more.
METALLICA plans to begin work on its next studio album early in 2012. The group recently released its collaborative album with Lou Reed, called "Lulu", which flopped saleswise and earned the quartet the worst reviews of its career.
The band has booked several European shows next summer, including one at a venue in Denmark that used to be a prison, at which it will perform its self-titled 1991 effort, a.k.a. "the black album," in its entirety.
METALLICA was formed when Ulrich, who had moved to Los Angeles from Denmark, placed an ad in a local paper called The Recycler looking for other musicians to play with. The ad was answered by guitarists James Hetfield and Hugh Tanner of the band LEATHER CHARM.
METALLICA officially formed in October 1981 and the band's first recording was "Hit The Lights" for the compilation "Metal Massacre".
Bay Area DJ Ron Quintana came up with the group's name: he was debating between using "Metallica" and "Metal Mania" for the name of his radio show and Ulrich encouraged him to use "Metal Mania" so that he could use "Metallica" for his new band.
METALLICA's first full lineup — featuring Hetfield, Ulrich, guitarist Dave Mustaine and bassist Ron McGovney — played its first gig on March 14, 1982 at Radio City in Anaheim, California.

So, I took a break from this for a little while. When I came back, I had the streets layer I used here that I'm not entirely sure how I made (though I think it involves some bitmap tracing in Inkscape, either that or messing up a tutorial). Anyway, I decided to work with that.
Also rather than trying to mark all the houses and such in the city, I'm only marking off major landmarks and such. It isn't the map I wanted, but I think I need a better scale to use the help I got toward my original goal.
Currently on this map:
Red Landmarks: The gates, a famous inn, a library, the seat of government, the courthouse, a library, a theater, and possibly a museum.
Yellow splotch: The main guild headquarters. (Larger buildings and such are nearer to gates and markets, but these are considered the main branches/etc)
Green patches: Parks (there are more green spaces. These are the largest and those known for their use in worship)
Red patches: The major markets. (The large square is the most famous, the one to its right is less prestigious and primarily imports, the one near the theater (bracket shaped building with green within and to the right) is mostly fine crafts and art, etc)
Blue Spots: Police stations (every ward has at least one)
Other red thing: The docks
What other landmarks should I add? Do I need more parks, you think?

This Week in West Coast Produce: 10.2.06
We've got a little seasonal dissonance going on here and the produce isn't giving me any clear answers about what to cook.
In the CSA box we got the first of the season's peppers and two little Sweet Dumpling squash. These I'll just cut in half and roast cut side down with a little olive oil. There are also some crisp Asian pears which are nice cut up in the morning yogurt with a little honey or maple syrup.
Here's where it gets kooky. We also got a watermelon, (surely the last one this summer) some zucchini, a small bag of green beans and tomatoes. Come June, I won't believe I'm saying this, but I'm kind of over the tomatoes. They're still good, but their skins are starting to get a bit thick and they look kind of…tired I guess. This weekend's farmers' market revealed the same seasonal confusion. Tons of crunchy, sweet grapes and perfect little snack size Gala apples, the first of the winter squash, lots of sweet peppers. The broccoli made its first appearance, but none of this looks right next to the bins of yellow peaches.
I'm ready for fall. I guess the only thing to do is to snack on some watermelon while the tomato sauce simmers, and the peppers and squash roast in the oven. What are you cooking this week?
5 Comments
Saturday I was off to the farmer's market and bought some red and purple peppers and some broccoli and a few other ingredients, but I know what you mean be confusion, we still have some stuff that I wasn't expecting to be there and yet still is, mainly strawberries.
I made a yummy and easy pasta salad with the goodies. On Sunday we were in the kitchen all day, made homemade chicken stock, about 12 cups worth. Froze half and used the other half to make minestrone. We reserved the chicken breasts and put that into the soup along with all the usual ingredients, onion, carrot, celery, zuchinni, potatoes, canelinni beans, fresh herbs, etc. It was delish and perfect last night for supper as it was a little overcast.
We used some of our extra tomatoes to make tomato chutney and, holy cow, I LOVE IT. Spicy and sweet and perfect with bread and cheese. Click on my name for a picture, and a link to the recipe we used from the Readymade blog.
i've been experimenting with roasted veggie lasagna. haven't quite gotten all of the proportions right, but the fun is in the process!
I'm a bit farther north - Nova Scotia - and the fall crops have started to come in with a passion. I'm up to my eyeballs in all sorts of wonderful apples and squash. The squash I've been baking, mashing, and freezing all week, but I'm at a bit of a loss of what to do with all these apples. Does anyone have any good freezer-ready apple recipes they could share? We've got loads of honeycrisps and galas going completely unappreciated at the moment. Cheers!
Growing up, we always made gallons of applesauce for freezing (in heavy-duty zip top freezer bags) and several dozen apple pies every fall.
For the pies, just follow your favorite apple pie recipe but don't bake them. Cover them in foil and pop-em in the freezer. You can bake them almost exactly to your original directions. They go in the pre-heated oven frozen and unwrapped...just add a few extra minutes to the baking time. Impress your friends by bringing fresh-baked apple pie any time you're invited to dinner. You'll get invited over often, once they know.

Our 5-on-5 panel breaks down the Thunder's elimination from the playoffs and what lies ahead for OKC.
Oklahoma City Thunder point guard Russell Westbrook will have surgery to repair a torn meniscus in his right knee and be out indefinitely.
Welp. Might as well engrave this year's trophy for the Heat. OKC, you happy you traded Harden, NOW? I repeat, UGH.
I'll say what 89% of sports fans are thinking. No one cares about the Heat's streak. Ya know why? Because it would be disappointing if they did anything less.
This type of team does not make for compelling sports. Underdogs, scrappy fighters, Michael Jordan flu ridden, team cohesion, rebuilding, changing, developing. That's sports. That's drive. That's passion.
Look how much everyone is talking about the Lakers. Oh wait. They're not. Granted for a different reason, but not talking all the same.
Having a bunch of superstars do their job, collectively, together is boring. Having a bunch of superstars fail at their job, collectively, together is boring.
This is America. We love the fight, the struggle, the journey. Come on NBA. Get interesting again.

The New SimCity May Revolutionize the City Building Genre
by Menashe
It's one thing to build a village brick by brick in Minecraft. It's another thing entirely to build up any type of city, rife with politics and pollution, in the new SimCity which is set to release in February 2013. You can view our gallery of screenshots over here. New features set to improve and expand upon previous SimCity games are:
-an ability to micromanage your citizens
- interconnected cities of different players online that will create something called a 'region'
- a competitive stats-centered leaderboard called CityLog to help you compare your city to many others across the world
- specific challenges that may mirror real world issues in the latest news
- market trends which will allow you to gain an upper hand over other players if you read the markets correctly
- a new art style that makes use of an artistic perspective called "tilt shift" that will make you feel like you're playing with a model train set
- cross play between PC and Mac users
- lots of disasters to add pizzazz to your game experience
Latest posts by Menashe (see all)
- Super Mario Bros in 7980×1080 - March 18, 2014
- Jonathan Blow blew ALL the money he made from Braid on developing his new game, The Witness - March 13, 2014

|Ford optimistic about playing in Game 6; Calderon still hurting
|Written by Admin
|Friday, 04 May 2007 07:16
Ford said a sprained thumb on his non-shooting left hand was the only injury from his collision with New Jersey's Vince Carter in Game 5 of their first-round series on Tuesday night. Ford had to leave the game in the second quarter after experiencing pain and numbness in his neck, shoulders and arms.
``It's a lot better day to day,'' he said at Friday's shootaround at Continental Airlines Arena. ``I couldn't move it a couple of days ago and now I have a lot of movement and flexibility in it. I think it's a good possibility I can play.''
Calderon was still bothered by the right ankle he sprained in the final minute of Tuesday night's game. He attended Friday's shootaround, and still has pain when he attempts to move laterally.
``When I go straight, it's not that bad,'' he said. ``It's difficult when I try to go from one side to the other or turn. I'll go out and test myself tonight in warmups and see.''
Calderon and Ford will be game-time decisions. If either is unable to play, Raptors coach Sam Mitchell plans to use Darrick Martin or Juan Dixon.
The Raptors trail the Nets 3-2 in the series and have lost the two games at Continental Airlines Arena.

Major League Baseball loves to go crazy for high-profile Japanese players ready to make the leap to the United States.
Pitcher Masahiro Tanaka is the latest Japanese product to get teams all worked up, but changes in the posting system could potentially put his MLB plans on hold.
Under the former system, Japanese teams in the Pacific and Central Leagues were able to post a player up for bid who had between one to eight years of experience (they become full free agents after nine seasons).
An American team could then post a bid for that player and, if that team won the bidding process, was given an opportunity to sign the player. The blind bid would then be given to the team that lost its player through this process.
To give some perspective on how out of control that spending has gotten, the Texas Rangers paid a record $51.7 million just for the chance to sign Yu Darvish, which they were able to do in a six-year, $60 million contract.
Needless to say, Major League teams are not happy with the nearly-blind spending sprees they have to go on to sign these players, or even meet with them. That's why a new proposal is in place that would change the system.
As of now, the Japanese have yet to accept the revisions, which include measures to protect MLB clubs. For instance, a team with the highest bid still wins the negotiating rights to a player, but it only has to pay the average price of the top two bids, preventing any team from running wild to outbid everyone else.
There is also a possibility that teams that win the negotiating rights and fail to sign the player will be fined.
Until the new posting changes are accepted, nothing can happen to any Japanese players, including Masahiro Tanaka.
But with the thought that his own posting bid will exceed Darvish's record amount, one can assume the system will be put in place as soon as possible.

For a couple of months now, the only concrete, provable-by-actual-photographic-evidence fact we've known about Mad Men season 6 is that there's going to be some storyline involving clearly still married Megan and Don visiting Hawaii and attending someone's wedding. But now that we're getting closer to the 2013 premiere (buzz is that it'll be in the spring), more juicy details are leaking.
Here, the latest and greatest teasers and news for the next season of what is inarguably the best drama on TV ...

As the most populous city in the world, Shanghai has been shaped by travelers and settlers from all over. This is particularly evident in the city's food, which has been influenced by the culinary styles from both the northern and southern regions of China, as well as dishes from throughout the entire continent of Asia. This cultural integration holds true at Shanghai Café, where the chefs use recipes the Hu family has spent the past half-century perfecting. These recipes follow various Shanghai cooking principles—for instance, the original flavors of meats and fish are allowed to shine through rather than being drowned out by heavy marinades or sauces that are too sweet or salty.
Though the recipes are traditional, they respect modern, healthful eating habits by incorporating natural broths and stocks and limiting the use of oil. Some of the restaurant's signature dishes include boiled dumplings, steamed pork buns, and dim sum—a Shanghai staple. In the spirit of Shanghai's pan-Asian tendencies, the menus also include Thai dishes, such as pad kee mao (drunken noodles), nigiri, sashimi, and maki.
Since 1987, Seven Seas has served the Washington metropolitan area with authentic Chinese cuisine, featuring a number of entrees that go well beyond the standard offerings. Browse the lunch or dinner menus for a variety of savory seafood selections, such as the fresh squid, sautéed in a black-bean sauce, then garnished with green peppers, onions, and jalapenos ($12.95). Or try the lightly battered shrimp topped with premium walnuts ($16.95). Those leaning toward chicken can keep leaning, eventually falling face-first into the string bean Szechuan, which features minced chicken stir-fried in a light brown sauce ($9.95). With chefs who have experience with Mandarin, Cantonese, Szechuan, Taiwanese, and American methods of cooking, Seven Seas' massive menu will satisfy even the pickiest of diners. To drink, Seven Seas offers a hodgepodge of Oriental and Californian wines, plus premium sake, such as the Sho Chiku Bai Organic Nama ($16), a libation that's as balanced as a tabby-cat gymnast.
His entrées may be named after animals, but chef Tai keeps his Chinese cuisine absolutely free of meat. He uses imitation meats to craft standout dishes such as pumpkin chicken, kung pao squid, and shredded pork. As if to emphasize his passion for natural foods, Tai cooks only with pure vegetable oil and refrains from flavoring his dishes with MSG or dark magic. These restrictions sometimes force him to get creative, but the results are delicious whether he's using soybean protein to make chicken or transforming white yams into baby shrimp and squid.
Chopstix Cafe & Grill at Urbana serves Chinese cuisine, only with a healthy twist. Instead of stir-frying ingredients or shooting them with chili-flavored lasers, chefs there specialize in grill-style cooking that results in tastier, better-for-you dishes. The cafe's list of quality ingredients doesn't hurt, either, and includes pork tenderloin, extra-large shrimp, and white-meat chicken that can be found in such popular dishes as the chicken with broccoli. As a full-service restaurant, Chopstix also pours adult beverages, including beer, wine, and Polynesian-style drinks.
Masala Wok's expansive menu features new Asian, Thai, and Indian flavors to help diners recreate the wondrous lies of Marco Polo, gentleman fabricator. Accompany your stomach's journey down the Spice Road with an appetizer of zesty battered chicken lollipops, an Indian take on wings (four for $4.99, eight for $8.49), before choosing your favorite flavor-corner of the East with a main course. Try a subcontinental delicacy such as the spicy southern curry with red-pepper-bedecked fish, shrimp, chicken, lamb, or paneer in a mustard-coconut sauce ($8.99), or head for steamy Southeast Asian environs with the Thai-influenced spicy basil plate ($8.50 for chicken, $8.35 paneer, $9.50 shrimp or fish). Lock lips with the orange chicken, stir-fried with scallions and carrots in orange sauce ($8.50), or skewer your stomach's overwhelming sense of emptiness with a chicken malai kabob—yogurt-marinated boneless chicken kabobs grilled with cheese, spices, and cilantro and served with rice and naan ($8.99).
If Mighty Khan's Mongolian Grill had a menu that listed every possible combination for its stir-fry creations, it would literally be thousands of items long. That's because the restaurant puts diners in the driver's seat, letting them hand-select and painstakingly interview each ingredient that goes into their meal. Dishes typically get built around top-grade meats and fresh seafood. Then, more than 20 vegetable options further customize creations, as do sauces that Mighty Khan's staff makes fresh daily. When diners aren't feeling creative, the restaurant also provides instructions for building their time-tested specialty bowls, such as the spicy cilantro lime bowl and the mild tangy citrus bowl.

What a complex and mellow dish! I served it over very soft baked potatoes, and it was hearty, filling, and delicious. Although it takes a long time to cook, the prep was incredibly easy and well worth the effort.

The increasing importance of distributed information systems calls for a better understanding of the nature of their use, since performance improvement and scalability of such systems depend heavily on this understanding. Over the last few years, the World-Wide Web (WWW or Web) has emerged as a unifying infrastructure for such large-scale information systems. The analysis of WWW usage can be done both at the client and/or at the server side. Similarly, performance enhancements are possible both at the client and/or at the server side.

Discover the Ultimate Show and Pleasure Horses
Celestina Farm offers selective breeding of quality Paso Fino
and Trote y Galope horses.
Paso Finos are dramatically beautiful horses. They present a proud silhouette, of stately, yet energetic grace. A refined head, long, flowing mane and tail, majestic, arched neck, deeply expressive eyes and uncanny athletic ability are all common-place among the breed. Most are compact, yet powerful looking animals with deep chests and broad, well-sprung barrels.
Trote y Galope
TROTE: A two-beat movement made of the alternate beat of successive diagonal legs, which produces a dry sound as the legs hit the ground in the following manner: tas tas tas tas.
GALOPE: A movement of diagonal steps executed in a three beat series: the first beat is executed by the impulse of one hind leg, a second beat is characterized by the landing of the opposite hind leg and its diagonal fore leg, a third beat marks the landing of the opposite foreleg from the one that initiated the three beat movement. The sound produced is: catorce, catorce, catorce, or one two, three, one two three, one two three.
