Teenagers plead innocent to slew of charges from vandalism spreeFebruary 04,2013Three teenagers allegedly responsible for a vandalism spree that damaged more than 100 vehicles, businesses and homes in the city late last month pleaded innocent Monday morning to a slew of felony and misdemeanor charges
According to court records, Jacob Ells, 18, of West Rutland, Cade Bowen, 17, of Castleton, and Cody Vanguilder, 17, of West Rutland, appeared in Rutland's criminal court to answer to three counts of felony unlawful mischief, 17 misdemeanor counts of unlawful mischief and a misdemeanor charge of reckless endangerment.
The trio was arrested Jan. 24 after police said an investigation revealed they were responsible for a rash of vandalism caused by pellet guns resulting in more than $55,000 in damages.
The three teenagers were released on conditions and are expected to be in court again March 4. If convicted, they face up to 33 years of prison time.MORE IN This Just In

Android Candy: Flickr Uploader
As luck would have it, shortly after I purchased a Flickr Pro subscription, Yahoo decided to eliminate the pay-for option with Flickr and give everyone a free Terabyte of space to store photos. Although I'm still not convinced Flickr is the best way to store photos, I have found it to be very flexible, so for now, my family members dump all their photos to Flickr from all their devices. (And then I back them up with https://pypi.python.org/pypi/flickrbackup because I'm paranoid.)
On my phone, a Galaxy S4, I find it cumbersome to upload photos directly to Flickr, so I bought Flickr Uploader from the Google Play store, and now all my photos are uploaded to Flickr instantly when I take them. Options are available to limit uploading to Wi-Fi only, or to upload only certain kinds of photos (camera photos but not screenshots, for example). The application is $4.99, but the developer has created "coupons" to get the application for a huge discount or even free.
I find the application to be smooth, stable and incredibly convenient. It's important to realize, however, that if you're the sort of person to take personal or compromising photos, double- and triple-check your settings to make sure you don't upload publicly viewable shots automatically! If you're a Flickr user, check out Flickr Uploader today.

Rooibos Tea Cupcakes
This really is the cutest thing to serve with tea…the cupcakes ARE the tea
Makes 12
200g Cake flour
150g Cazstor sugar
125 Butter, Room Temperature
125ml Strong Rooibos Tea with 1tbsn Honey mixed in
2 Large eggs
2.5ml Salt
10ml Baking Powder
Preheat the oven to 180° and place cupcake papers in a muffin tin.
Combine all the ingredients in a large bowl and beat until the batter is smooth. (I sometimes use my electric mixer beater but I did it by hand this time). Divide the batter between the cupcake cups and bake for 15-20 minutes until golden and a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Remove from the oven and allow to cool for 5 minutes in the tin before placing on a cooling rack to cool completely.
For the Icing:
125g Soft Butter (I use Wooden Spoon)
300g Icing sugar
10 Rooibos tea bags
100ml Cream
3tbsn Honey
To make the "rooibos syrup", combine the rooibos tea bags, cream and honey in a small saucepan and allow to come to a boil. Turn the heat down and allow to simmer very gently for about 20 minutes or until the cream is completely infused with the tea. The mixture should be dark-ish and thickened. Allow to cool.
Beat the butter with the rooibos mix until pale and fluffy. Add in the sifted Icing sugar and beat until creamy. If it's too thick, add some milk. Schmoosh onto the cooled cupcakes and enjoy!

Hi Alida
Many thanks for the Rooibos cupcake recipe. However you do not mention the most crucial temeperature to bake the cupcakes at. Unless you are assuming most readers to be avid bakers. Also you did not stipulate whether it should be 125 mg of strong MADE Rooibos tea. Danger is that some people would use dry tea leaves instead.
Just a few comments, otherwise I am so happy I found a Rooibos cup cake receipe.
Many thanks

A dynamic limit order market with fast and slow traders
We study the role of high-frequency trading in a dynamic limit order market. Being fast is valuable because it enables traders to revise outstanding limit orders upon news arrivals when interacting with slow market participants. On the one hand, the existence of fast traders can help to reduce the inefficiency that is rooted in the risk of being "picked off" after unfavourable price movements and therefore allows more gains from trade to be realized. On the other hand, slow traders face a relative loss in bargaining power which leads them to strategically submit limit orders with a lower execution probability, thereby reducing trade. Due to this negative externality, the equilibrium level of investment is always welfare-reducing. The model generates additional testable implications regarding the effects of high-frequency trading on order flow statistics. JEL Classification: G19, C72, D62

The Spice Trail: Nutmeg
By: Daemmon Reeve, Treatt plc
Posted: August 23, 2006, from the September 2006 issue of P&F magazine.
Nutmeg is now also grown in Grenada in the West Indies, where it is the national emblem, in addition to Sri Lanka, Africa, Southern India, Fiji and Malaysia.
International trade in nutmeg originated in the Middle East in the sixth century. Merchants from the region were the exclusive importers of the spice for Europe until 1512, when the Portuguese claimed the Moluccas. The Dutch followed in 1602. In 1796, the British took over the Moluccas and spread cultivation to other East Indian islands and the Caribbean.
John Eldred — an early British merchant traveler and one of the first directors of the East India Co. — first brought nutmeg to England. Eldred amassed great wealth from trading with Baghdad, Iraq. In fact, by the end of the medieval period, nutmeg was the second-most-popular spice, after pepper. It was commonly used in barley beer and as a flavoring in wine.
Other topics covered: cultivation, essential oils and summary

TAMPA, Fla. (May 30, 2014) Fatigue is a debilitating problem for cancer patients undergoing treatment; however, it also poses a huge detriment after treatment and can significantly affect quality of life. Approximately 30 percent of cancer patients endure persistent fatigue for several years after treatment, according to an American Society of Clinical Oncology Expert Panel co-chaired by Paul Jacobsen, Ph.D., associate center director of Population Sciences at Moffitt Cancer Center.
ASCO created the panel to develop assessment, screening, and treatment guidelines for medical professionals to help patients who experience fatigue after completing primary treatment. The panel analyzed several national guidelines from the United States and Canada, and reviewed published studies about cancer-related fatigue to create the new guidelines.
The panel recommends that all health care professions regularly screen and measure fatigue and other associated problems in cancer patients through health history, physical examinations, and laboratory analysis. It is important for all patients to be educated about fatigue and its associated medical problems.
Fatigue in cancer patients after treatment can arise from other problems, such as depression, pain, anxiety, nutritional deficits, medications, or emotional distress. The panel recommends that all contributing factors should be identified and treated before the symptoms of fatigue are addressed.
There are a number of treatment and care options for patients experiencing continued fatigue. "Studies show that initiating or maintaining adequate levels of physical activity can reduce cancer-related fatigue in post-treatment patients. Physicians should actively encourage all patients to engage in a moderate level of physical activity after cancer treatment, dependent on risk of injury," said Jacobsen.
Behavioral and psychoeducational therapies have also been reported to reduce fat

Bean Gilsdorf (MFA 2011) never imagined herself as a professional advice columnist. But in a moment of levity at an editorial meeting of the art blog Daily Serving, she tossed out the idea of an art advice column, and the others wouldn't let it drop.
And once she launched the thing, it really took off. She posted her first "Help Desk" column in January 2012, and it was almost immediately picked up by KQED.org and the Huffington Post.
What have been the most memorable questions? "One was, 'I just discovered that my MFA faculty advisor is an adulterer. I find that morally reprehensible. Should I continue to trust him in our student-advisor relationship?'"
This dilemma can't be reduced to yet another case of people not living up to expectations, Gilsdorf explains, since your advisor is your designated critic-advocate, and the nuances of the trust and the power dynamic are quite specific. In other words, Dear Abby can't deal with this one. You really need the advice of another artist.
What's been the strangest question so far? "'What is the best and most humane way to skin a cat as part of an art piece, in front of an audience'' I wrote the guy back privately and told him I wasn't qualified to give an answer."

Sasha Duerr is a CCA alumna (MFA 2003), a member of the CCA faculty, and the founder of the Permacouture Institute. Just like the cloth she dyes by hand, everything about Duerr radiates passion, a generous investment of time and hand labor, and a deep respect for history.
When you think of the color red, you probably imagine a bright, saturated red, like a Crayola crayon. Yet when Duerr thinks of red, she imagines a living, breathing, mottled red -- the red that comes from a fern, or a pinecone.
Just like the cloth she dyes by hand using what she calls a garden-to-garment process, everything about Duerr radiates passion, a generous investment of time and hand labor, and a deep respect for history.
She focuses her teaching and research practices on organic dyes, alternative fibers, and the creative reuse of materials. She has written and lectured extensively, becoming a well-known authority in these emerging fields over the last 10 years. Her artworks have been exhibited in galleries and museums across the United States and in Japan, and she has taught at artist residencies, colleges, and community and school garden programs.

"This study illustrates how research on coupled natural-human systems can inform governance policies for land use and resource management that enhance both ecological and economic sustainability," said Alan Tessier, an NSF program director.
"This article builds on research supported by a diverse set of NSF programs," noted Thomas Baerwald, another NSF program director. "And it demonstrates how increased knowledge about the complex interactions between people and the natural environment can help address societally significant problems."
It is vitally important to find ways to conserve tropical forests because over one billion people depend on them for their livelihoods. In addition, tropical forests currently store more than 500 billion tons of carbon--more than all of the carbon that is currently stored in the atmosphere. If these tropical forests were lost, their vast stores of carbon would be released into the atmosphere and potentially impact climate in significant ways.

And, though sulfasalazine used to be very popular as an arthritis treatment, the drug is not used that often today in the United States, according to Dr. Stephen Lindsey, head of rheumatology at Ochsner Health Systems in Baton Rouge, La.
Methotrexate (Rheumatrex, Trexall) is the drug most often used today, he said.
"I would be optimistic that an herbal medicine would play some role in improving rheumatoid arthritis," Lindsey said. But he added that he "would be a little bit wary since the medicine they compared it to is a fairly mild, anti-rheumatoid agent and not the standard drug used in the U.S."
Other alternative remedies, he said, have proven helpful for arthritis, including fish oil, though some of them have not held up to more rigorous studies.
Participants in the new study were allowed to continue taking oral prednisone or nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, but anyone who was taking disease-modifying anti-rheumatic drugs (such as methotrexate), which slow the progression of the disease, had to stop taking them about a month before the study began.
Researchers did not see a statistically significant difference in joint damage on X-rays, Klippel said. But he said that probably was because six months wasn't long enough for noticeable changes.
The study also had a high dropout rate, with 62 percent of those taking TwHF and 41 percent of the others continuing to the end. According to the study, 17 people taking sulfasalzine and 8 taking TwHF dropped out because of adverse effects -- most often gastrointestinal symptoms, including nausea and diarrhea.
Lindsey noted that people should always remember to tell their doctor if they are taking an herbal supplement.
"Just because something is herbal doesn't mean it's going to be cheap or safe," he said.

Expert review of The Pump Room
Social butterflies have flitted through the Pump Room for more than two hundred years and it's the quintessential place to come for Afternoon Tea in Bath. Put on your metaphorical bonnet and point out your pinkie as you sup on a cuppa in fine surroundings.
Lunches are served here, but I only go in the afternoon to take visitors to experience drinking tea in one of Bath's most famous establishments. Dainty sandwiches and champagne tasting trays make the Pump Room great for a special occasion. As well as traditional afternoon tea there are champagne options and the weird but wonderful Jane Austen tea – ginger fizz, potted mackerel and toast, fruit & plain scones with clotted cream and fruit preserves, Pump Room cup cake and a pot of tea or coffee.
You have to try the Traditional Pump Room Tea – sandwiches, scones dripping with clotted cream and local jam, with pastries and a pot of tea or coffee. Bravehearts can try the famous Bath spa water for 50p, but it's worth shelling out an extra two pounds to get it mixed with strawberry or lemon to disguise the 'unique' taste.
Every day a classical trio play and a pianist takes over at lunchtimes. Genteel and old-fashioned; this is the Bath that many tourists come to see.
Attentive – you'll be guided to your seat and waited on. Although you can book in the week, weekends you need to queue for Afternoon Tea, so allow extra time for this.
Part of the Roman Baths complex, on Abbey Courtyard in the centre of town.
Vouchers are available as gifts. Afternoon Tea starts from £17.50 per person (£34 for two).
Ask for one by the window in the summertime as street performers put on a show in the Abbey churchyard, just outside. Watch out for the two men in thongs that do acrobats though - they like to wiggle their bums against the window at unsuspecting tourists eating Afternoon Tea.

Aw, thanks Lisa!
Great composition and colours! Also love the dynamic contrast between the hard lines and soft watercolour.
Great!!! more geometric, it is a interesting contrast
super work again Heather!!!
Nice done!
Beautiful work, Heather. I know this is not even remotely what you were intending but it is conjuring up images of camp for me. The trees and the spindly legs of the Daddy Longlegs spiders that used to be everywhere.
Your recent work- spectacular!
It's beautiful and ponderous :)
beautiful work, heather! i've been so out of it this month, i didn't notice when u put this up!
this is so beautiful!! I love your water color! great work you have!
Thank you so much everyone, I really appreciate it! Cary - lol, I did this one while I was in a house with lots of spiders, it didn't occur to me to make the connection before now but you might have hit the nail on the head with that!
Love this!
Great colors!
Super sweet one.

I love my Britax B Ready! Hands down, it is my favorite! Good luck!

In order to ensure smooth running of any computer, the first and foremost requirement is for it to be malware-free, and this can be achieved using an efficient antivirus solution.
Occasionally, though, a dedicated utility is needed to eradicate a specific type of threat, such as TDSSKiller which removes malware from the Rootkit.Win32.TDSS family.
Damages done to your system by rootkits
Rootkits are a special type of malware which run surreptitiously on a computer and modify the behavior of the host PC or of other installed programs. This way, they can take over certain functions and seem legitimate, and collect sensitive information.
Since these rootkits get new variants quite frequently, having a specialized tool like TDSSKiller can help users detect and remove the threat before it does any damage.
Simple scan and deletion operations
The benefit in using TDSSKiller is that users need to simply run the program and press a single button in order for the scanning process to launch. Otherwise, one would need to search the registry for entries affected by the rootkit and erase them manually.
Scan the driver digital signatures
Additionally, TDSSKiller allows users to broaden or restrict the scan, depending on their choices. For instance, if users suspect that the rootkit is hidden within the drivers on their computer, they can set TDSSKiller to scan the driver digital signatures as well.
Once the scan is over, the software app will display a brief summary of the results, and experts get the chance to analyze a detailed version of the report if they want additional information about the scan. They can also choose the action that needs to be taken once a threat is detected, if they consider it is a false positive.
The bottom line is that not only viruses are dangerous when it comes to computer security, rootkits can prove to be just as harmful. Nonetheless, keeping the antivirus solution correctly configured and relying on dedicated removal tools when needed will help users keep their PC free of any infection.

During her "Today" show appearance Tuesday, Rosie O'Donnell made it clear she doesn't think Lindsay Lohan should play Elizabeth Taylor in an upcoming Lifetime TV movie. "I think she needs a lot of help. She needs a lot of time away," the typically outspoken O'Donnell said. She continued, "She's had a lot of trouble doing every single movie, including 'SNL.' She was out and not in rehearsal. I think she's not in a place to work."
Lindsay Lohan's rep Steve Honig fired back, issuing a statement to PerezHilton.com that said, "I think Rosie should focus on her own career instead of worrying about everyone else's."
And now Michael Lohan, Lindsay's father, has a few strong words for O'Donnell. In an email to The Huffington Post, Michael wrote:
From what I remember, the Bible says for he/she who is without sin, let them cast the first stone and judge not, lest you be judged. With that being said, is Rosie in ANY position to judge anyone? Failed marriage, two failed shows, slamming other celebs and high profile people. PLEASE! My daughter and even I, may have had our issues in life, but it's about making things right and turning things around, right Rosie? I was and am the first one to point out my own faults, Lindsay's and even others' when we are wrong, but when we are not, I will fight tooth and nail for what's right! In this case, Rosie, you are wrong. So why don't you, and all in agreement with you, just sit back. Shut up and see if Lindsay proves herself before blabbing your unwarranted opinions.
O'Donnell also called Donny Deutsch a "crackhead" for proclaiming Lindsay "our generation's Elizabeth Taylor." Click here to see what else O'Donnell said about Lohan.

Workshop inspires Indian River County students to seek leadership roles
Last spring, Linda Colontrelle, dean of students at the Indian River Charter High School sensed something was missing.
"I wanted to encourage students to get more involved in our school and community," says Colontrelle. "I wanted to raise the bar about what we can do when we work together."
A central feature of Charter is its open campus and at its heart the courtyard. Centrally located, it's a gathering place for students and faculty to spontaneously meet. Last year, the courtyard was closed while workers built a protective dome overhead.
"Not having access to the courtyard segregated us," says Colontrelle. "We didn't have that natural meeting place to interact."
Finished in May, the new domed courtyard is ready for the fall. But Colontrelle didn't want to wait. Realizing a special assembly during the normal school day wouldn't accomplish her goal, she created a summer workshop on leadership with a special focus: guiding students toward making right choices.
Colontrelle invited Charter teachers and Vero professionals to share their expertise and experiences with 50 students, presidents of different school clubs, for a weekend-immersion beginning with a dinner August 9 and wrapping up August 11 with a barbecue and swim party at the Colontrelle's house.
In between, students engaged in workshops and heard a range of speakers, including D. Loren Coyle, executive director of the Homeless Family Center; Terry Schlitt, youth director at Holy Cross Catholic Church, on service to the community; Toby Hill, local philanthropist; and Rick Hartley, Saint Edward's School's science teacher, director of student services and coach, on team building.
Talking with students afterwards, certain things resonated, especially a handful of personal stories.
Many students didn't know Brian McCandless, who teaches HOPE, health and physical education classes at Charter, suffers from Cystic Fibrosis until he told them Friday night.
"I was really impressed with how open the adults were talking with us, a generation of new leaders," says Siena Battle, a junior. "Especially Mr. McCandless and how important it is to keep moving forward."
"I was diagnosed with Cystic Fibrosis at birth," says McCandless. "I kept it a secret because when people knew they treated me differently."
An incurable disease, Cystic Fibrosis affects the respiratory and digestive systems, blocking lungs and airways with thick mucus. While he wasn't supposed to exercise, McCandless ran and rode mountain bikes.
'Now we know exercise helps manage CF," he says.
McCandless began talking about his CF when he realized how many were in similar situations.
"They have a disorder," he says. "Instead of pushing to overcome it, they let it limit them. That broke my heart. I wanted to show how to overcome obstacles."
McCandless embarked on a number of cycling adventures. Starting in May 2007, he biked from Pittsburgh to Tallahassee, a roundtrip of 2,045 miles, making similar long-distance rides every summer during college and raising $26,000 for the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation.
While the money's important to fund research, McCandless is most passionate about spreading the message.
Today, he's competed in two marathons and just completed an ironman competition in Coeur d'Alene, Idaho.
"I expected this to be about standing up in front of a group and talking, like at a job," says John Pearsaul, a senior who attended the workshop. "But it was much more than that."
Among his favorite speakers were John Colontrelle, who owns an air conditioning company and who recounted an upbeat story about being a team player on his high school football team and on Boston College's team. "There's no I in Team," said Colontrelle.
Pearsaul also appreciated Dr. Leslie Haatvedt's Saturday morning workshop, "Body, Mind, Spirit" and Elaine Erlanger's talk about the death of her son, Austin, two years ago.
A nationally certified licensed mental health counselor with a Ph.D. in educational leadership, Haatvedt has taught and counseled Florida children and teens for 30 years.
"When the body, mind and spirit are balanced, teens can do so much," says Haatvedt.
She divided the 50 students in attendance into groups and told them to analyze qualities of a great leader, focusing on physical, mental, emotional, social, spiritual and creative aspects.
"To make right choices teens need a toolbox with the right tools. That's how they can live decent, successful, positive lives," she says.
Haatvedt lays out simple steps, including daily exercise, meditation and spending time with friends.
She also stressed the importance of learning to ask better questions, particularly when it comes to making good choices. A bad one can have tragic consequences.
A little past midnight, July 5, 2011, Austin Erlanger, 16, hopped on his motorcycle and headed to a friend's house without turning on his headlights. At the intersection of Oslo Rd. and 58th Avenue, Austin collided with an oncoming car and was killed instantly.
Speaking to high school students for the first time, Austin's mother, Elaine Erlanger apologizes in advance if she cries. Projected on the wall behind her is a prom photo of Austin smiling in a tux and pink boutonniere.
Seeking a way to honor their son's life, Elaine and Steve Erlanger created Make the Right Choice Foundation. They hope sharing Austin's story will serve as a wake-up call to other teens.
Haatvedt and Erlanger both emphasize Austin was a responsible teen and good student who was involved in the performing arts. He defended kids victimized by bullies whether or not he knew them. In a random, thoughtless moment, he made a tragically wrong choice.
For the past two years, the foundation has awarded two annual scholarships for continuing education to Vero Beach High School students. Applicants must be graduating seniors in the choir or show chorus.
Today, Haatvedt and Erlanger are collaborating on an elementary school program, HERO, Help Everyone Respect Others, which incorporates Austin's story.
At the end of her talk, Erlanger hands out pink, black and green Make the Right Choice tee shirts. Students encircle her, asking how they can get involved.
"It was really brave of her," says Pearsaul. "We need to talk about this with our peers."
"You need to think about consequences and how your decisions affect your family and friends," says Harley Del Cogliano, a junior.
Austin's story troubles sophomore Amanda Guard, president of Charter's Key Club, precisely because he made so many right choices.
"It shows you how one wrong choice affects others who love you," she says.
Dr. Ray Adams, assistant director and artistic director of Charter's Schumann School of the Visual and Performing Arts, discussed the death of his son, Nolan, from a drug overdose in 2005.
"Sometimes making the right choice means saying no to a friend. Start practicing now," says Haatvedt.

Thank you.
Brian, I could use a little bit more monitor.
Hello hello, can't you turn up any more than that?
Hello hello, hey!
Pardon me folks.
The name of this song is penguin in bondage,
An' it's a song that ah, deals with the possible variations on
A basic theme which is...well,
You understand what a basic theme is.
And then the variations include ah, manoeuvres that might be
Executed with the aid of ah, extra-terrestrial gratification
And devices which might or might not be supplied in a local
Department store or perhaps a drugstore but at very least in
One of those fancy new shops that they advertise in the
Back-pages of the free press.
This song suggests to the suggestible listener that the
Ordinary procedure ah,
That I am circumlocuting at this present time in order to get
This text on television,
Is that ah, if you wanna do something other than what you
Thought you were gonna do when you first took your clothes off
And you just happened to have some devices around...
Then it's, it's not only okay to get into the
Paraphernalia of it all but...hey!
What did he say? ready?
She's just like a penguin in bondage, boy
Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh...
Way over on the wet side
Of the bed (knirps for moisture)
Just like the mighty penguin
Flappin' her eight ounce wings
Lord, you know it's all over
If she comes atcha on the strut & wrap `em
All around yer head
Flappin her eight ounce wings, flappinumm
She's just like a penguin in bondage, boy
Shake up the pale-dry
Ginger ale
Tremblin' like a penguin
When the battery fail
Lord, you must be havin' her jumpin' through
A hoopa real fire
With some kleenex wrapped around a
Coat-hang wire
She's just like a penguin in bondage, boy
Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh...
Howlin' over to some
Antarcticulated moon
In the frostbite nite
With her flaps gone white
Shriekin' as she spot the hoop across the room
Lord, you know it must be a penguin bound down
When you hear that terrible screamin' and
There ain't no other
Birds around
She's just like a penguin in bondage, boy
Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh...
She's just like a penguin in bondage, boy
Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh...
Aw, you must be careful
Not to leave her straps
Too loose
`cause she just might box yer dog
She just might box yer doggie
An' leave you a dried-up dog biscuit...

I have been making this side dish for many years and it is always a hit with my family and guests. It is a great one pot side dish which is very quick and simple to pull together. I recommend prepping the butternut squash ahead of time (even a few days ahead) and then it will only take 10 minutes to pull together and 20 minutes to cook. This recipe serves 4-6 people as a hearty side dish to roasted or braised chicken or even lamb.
- 1 Tbsp coconut oil
- 1 cup coarsely chopped peeled butternut squash
- 1/3 cup finely chopped onion
- 1 finely chopped jalapeno pepper
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1 tsp ground turmeric
- 3 cardamom pods
- 1 cup homemade chicken broth
- 1/3 cup coconut milk
- 1 cup uncooked quinoa, rinsed clean
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
Heat coconut oil in a saucepan (that has a cover) over medium-high heat. Add squash and next 6 ingredients (squash through spices); sauté 5 minutes. Stir in broth, quinoa, and salt; bring to a boil.
Cover, reduce heat, and simmer 20-25 minutes or until the liquid is absorbed.

Investor Environmental Health Network Analysis Finds Disturbing Asbestos-Nanotech Parallels That Could Saddle Investors with a Major New Round of Costly Mega-Litigation
WASHINGTON, June 16 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Billions of dollars in potential asbestos-like litigation risks for nanotechnology companies and investors are now hidden due to weak regulations governing disclosures of liabilities, according to a major new report from the Investor Environmental Health Network (IEHN). Nanotechnologies are now commonly found in sunscreen, cosmetics, food, clothing, sporting goods and packaging. Yet some of these technologies are showing signs of posing serious hazards to human health and the environment, including the same kind of grave threats resulting from exposure to asbestos, according to the IEHN report.
The good news for investors is that the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) are now in the process of examining disclosure requirements and could remedy the eight securities and accounting loopholes identified in the report. IEHN is a partnership of investment managers overseeing more than $25 billion in assets.
The report and a related video interview with the author are now available online at http://www.iehn.org.
Report author Sanford Lewis, counsel to IEHN, said: "In the midst of the current crisis of investor confidence, our report flags a major new argument for demanding honest accounting. Investors cannot afford the repetition of another asbestos-like wiping out of billions of dollars of equity when it comes to new technologies like nanotechnologies that are seeking investment dollars now. This report is a call to action for regulators to bolster the integrity of securities disclosure and financial reporting, and to restore credibility to the investing marketplace. Based

Active Questions
|Dating / 9:09 PM - Saturday January 30, 2010
All the boys like the girls who dress real skanky and give it up on the first date.
I tried this a few times and just felt bad about myself afterwards, and it never lasted anyways. What should I do? Please be nice, I am already sad tonight.
- Asked by Female, 22-25
Let the past be the past. Your future begins at this very moment. Don't beat yourself up, over mistakes that were made. It's only a F*** Up, if you repeat it, rather than learning from it. It appears that, you have gotten on the right track. I think that you realize that there is no point in doing something, if it makes you feel sad. All boys like skanky girls, but only for that moment. You can't build a loving relationship on a one night stand. Fall in love first, with someone who actually knows and loves you, before you give it up. If a guy doesn't want to wait, then his motive is to just use you. If you look skanky, you will attract only skanky men. Try a more classy persona, and perhaps you will meet a mature man and not just a boy who is a skin hound. Be true to yourself, first and you won't fail.
- Response by nautalady, A Trendsetter, Female, 66 or older, Pittsburgh, Other Profession
You yourself have already discovered that this approach never works. Just be you!

look for someone who wants more from you than just an easy lay. You have to respect yourself first, then other will respect you. And the ones who don't, kick their ass to the curb and move on.
- Response by lavender, A Hippie Chick, Female, 46-55, San Francisco
First off, stop going after "boys".
- Response by lovingmistahj, An Alternative Girl, Female, 22-25
Decent guys like respectable women not "skanky" ones. We all want it but will take our time with the right girl. Respect yourself and do only what you feel comfortable doing. You will be respected for that by guys who have some values and you will have more fun in the long run.
- Response by mrwondering11, A Creative, Male, Who Cares?, Portland, Managerial
Don't be sad,you can allways talk to me.don't put out and really take your time and if that really like you then that will wait.
- Response by bebekitti, A Married Girl, Female, 29-35, Home Maker
Try dating guys at a higher maturity level, although there are guys who are 40 who are still immature.
- Response by chessplayer, An Intellectual Guy, Male, 36-45, Administrative
You are right.This is not how it should be.Follow your own feelings and when you come to a guy who is interested in you and not sex then you will find your way of life.
- Response by frenchkiss49, A Thinker, Female, 66 or older, Tampa, Who Cares?
I don't know about boys and girls.
- Response by greenwind, An Intellectual Guy, Male, 56-65, Construction
To look at this thread, it would seem that all males are supposed to love fugly women who don't have sex and dress like they're Quakers. ;)
- Response by electragold21, A Thinker, Female, 29-35, New York, Teaching
Personality wins me over any day. I see through s skank
- Response by duggers, A Guy Critical, Male, 66 or older
why not just enjoy life and do what ever u want to do
- Response by bigcurt, A Mr. Nice Guy, Male, 56-65, Pittsburgh, Self-Employed
Perhaps a good dose of reality and self-respect just might be the ticket. It seems that young people all they focus on is sex! How shallow! Why not focus on education for yourself, helping someone that needs help. Self-centered, selfish, arrogant, and egostistical are the best description of today's youth. Pathetic!
- Response by omontecristo, A Career Man, Male, 36-45, Philadelphia, Medical / Dental
No, they only like their cheap attitudes. but they respect the girls who keep themselves away from all that provocativeness.
- Response by cristyquartz, A Creative, Female, 22-25, Managerial
they dont actually like them .. they like that its easy poon. Trust me they dont even remember those chicks in the morning.
- Response by cocolover82, A Sweet Sarah, Female, 29-35
the guys who only go out with skanky girls are dumb. no easy way to put this. just be yourself, you're more likely to get a good guy instead of some guy who only wants to get with you.

Respond to Review of Lentil As Anything - Abbotsford Convent
by Repeater
Review: Have been going to Lentils regularly for years now, and it has never disappointed. There's always a variety of dishes of all kinds, with a few signatures usually on the menu (dahl of course!). Food can be hit and miss, but usually only moving between good and very good. You can't really complain about it either, seeing as most of the staff are volunteers, and you can pay what you feel anyway! Staff are friendly and helpful. Great location and place to eat, particularly nice to sit outside on a nice evening due to the surroundings. A great place to have in the community, would recommend to anyone

PRESIDENT BUSH listens as South Korea's President Roh Moo-hyun makes a statement to reporters in oval office of the White House on Friday in Washington. The latest Associated Press-Ipsos poll shows Bush's job approval rating is at its lowest level since the poll began a year and a half ago.
AP Photo WASHINGTON -- When it comes to public approval, President Bush and Congress are playing "how low can you go."
Bush's approval mark is 43 percent, while Congress checks in at 31 percent, an Associated Press-Ipsos poll found. Both are the lowest levels yet for the survey, started in December 2003.
"There's a bad mood in the country, people are out of sorts," said Charles Jones, a presidential scholar and senior fellow at the Brookings Institution. "Iraq news is daily bad news."
The public also is showing concerns about the direction of the country as the war in Iraq drags on. Only about one-third of adults, 35 percent, said they thought the country was headed in the right direction. Forty-one percent said they supported Bush's handling of the war in Iraq, also a low-water mark.
Gail Thomas, an independent who leans Democratic from Prattville, Ala., said the war in Iraq was a distraction after the Sept. 11, 2001, attack ordered by Osama bin Laden.
"They're not going after the one who did it," said Thomas. "They were too anxious to go after Saddam Hussein. All they're doing is getting our guys killed."
Car bombings and attacks by insurgents killed 80 U.S. troops and more than 700 Iraqis last month. Pentagon officials acknowledge the level of violence is about the same as a year ago, when they were forced to scrap a plan to substantially reduce the U.S. troop presence in Iraq.
While Bush has gotten generally low scores for his handling of domestic issues for many months, Americans have been more supportive of his foreign policy. Not any more.
The poll conducted for AP by Ipsos found 45 percent support Bush's foreign policy, down from 52 percent in March.
David Fultz, a Republican from Venice, Fla., is among those who are sticking with the president.
"In terms of where we're going in the future, President Bush is laying out a plan," said Fultz, an assistant principal at a middle school. "When it's all said and done, we'll be where we want to be. We need to help establish democracy in the Middle East."
Bush's popularity reached its zenith shortly after the terror attacks on Sept. 11, 2001, when various polls found nearly 90 percent approved of the job he was doing. It was close to 80 percent when Ipsos started tracking attitudes about Bush at the start of 2002, and was just over 50 percent when the AP-Ipsos poll was started in December 2003.
Approval for Congress has dipped from the 40s early this year into the low 30s now. A majority of Republicans and Democrats said they don't approve of Congress.
Those figures, combined with Bush's low numbers, could make some lawmakers a little nervous.
"Presidents who are low in the polls have a hard time getting Congress to go along with them," said Charles Franklin, a political scientist at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. "He has to persuade the people in Congress to follow his legislative agenda and they're all worried about 2006."
Support for Bush's handling of domestic issues remained in the high 30s and low 40s in the latest AP-Ipsos poll.
Thirty-seven percent support Bush's handling of Social Security, while 59 percent disapprove. Those numbers haven't budged after more than four months of the president traveling the country to sell his plan to create private accounts in Social Security. Support for his handling of the economy was at 43 percent.
The low numbers for Congress as an institution don't necessarily spell trouble for all incumbents.
"It's easier to despise an institution than to work up animosity toward an individual lawmaker," said Ross Baker, a Rutgers University political scientist who studies Congress. "The institution is held in low regard, but many of the individual representatives and senators are held in high regard."
The AP-Ipsos poll of 1,001 adults was taken June 6-8 and has a margin of sampling error of plus or minus 3 percentage points.

Excellent steak recipe. Especially for the sauce. I make a batch or Harissa, and ended up using much more in the sauce, and still have left over for other uses - and there are plenty of uses! My family were wondering - where is "that sauce"?flag if inappropriate
Love the flavor of the marinade. As other reviewers suggested, I made my own harissa sauce using another Epicurious recipe (the one for Harissa and Black Olives). The directions for cooking the steak medium-rare worked well, although the meat was a little tough. I know top sirloin isn't considered a very tender cut, so next time I might try a different type of steak.flag if inappropriate
This dish was excellent, especially for those looking for something a little more exciting. There isn't a market around that sells harissa in a jar, so I had to make it using a recipe from this site. The marinade is delicious and not too overpowering. I used the extra harissa I made as a dipping sauce and it complimented the beef very well.flag if inappropriate
This is a new top notch recipe. I made it on chicken and tofu for a BBQ. Everyone licked their fingers and asked for more, including kids! I had one person tell me that this was the best BBQ chicken that they have ever had and it is so easy. All I have to say is just do it. I did make one change and had butter for the fat instead of oil. I think it makes a difference for the chicken. But both ways should be good!flag if inappropriate
Excellent recipe -- the marinated really enhanced the steak, didnt overwhelm it. Made this recipe with israeli cous cous and tomato and cucumber salad. Hit with the whole family.flag if inappropriate
Excellent. Grilled the tips instead of frying. Definitely make the side sauce. Great with rice pilaf and the Tomato and Cucumber Salad from this site as side dishes. Will most definitely be making this again (even the leftovers were fantastic).flag if inappropriate
Wonderful flavorful entree! Harissa tastes hot when you take it out of the jar but in the sauce it mellows. Its deliciously spicy!flag if inappropriate
These were wonderful. I used store bought harissa ... next time I'll make my one (epocurious has a good recipe)flag if inappropriate
Delicious steak! Savory, meaty, with a hint of heat. I only marinated for an hour, and the meat still had lots of flavor. We will be doing this for Father's Day with New York Strips; cannot wait to make/eat this again.flag if inappropriate
This is amazing! I used harissa made from the recipe for 'harissa and black olives', (also on this site), It is excellent. (I used two small fresh red chiles (birds eye?) instead of dried in the harissa recipe), and grilled the steak instead of frying it.Perfect. My family raved about this.flag if inappropriate

Bahrain uprising needs world attention
Sun Oct 20, 2013 3:36PM
This Persian Gulf littoral state is completely dominated by the royal family and for example 98 percent of the country's coasts are considered Al Khalifa property and off-limits for Bahrainis.In recent years, Bahrain has turned into a haven for criminals. Mafias trafficking human organs and women have become organized in this country. This has turned Manama into one of the most important crime centers in the world. Ethnic and religious discrimination in Bahrain has resulted in some pundits saying the country is governed by a regime similar to the South African apartheid. This being said, the Bahraini uprising was in essence a civil rights movement. Because of these conditions, Bahrainis on Feb 14, 2011 rose up against the Al Khalifa regime. Political activists in Bahrain have named this day "Day of Rage" and asked people to state their demands by staging protests. The first part of Bahraini demands was political reforms. They wanted the prime minister and head of administration to be elected by the people like other democratic governments. They also wanted political activists and Shia clerics who had been jailed since August 2010 to be released. Bahrainis also wanted the Shura Council, which has 40 members who are appointed by the Al Khalifa, to be dissolved. Bahrain currently has 28 ministers; 17 of the key ministries are controlled by Al Khalifa. Freedom of political activities, freedom of speech and establishment of parties were among the other demands of the Bahrainis in the beginning of the uprising. Ending political and religious discriminations were among the other legitimate demands of Bahrainis. Why the Bahraini uprising did not achieve its objectives? Bahrainis showed that they would continue their peaceful protest until their demands are met, but unfortunately after thirty months, they achieved nothing. Hundreds of Bahrainis have been killed and hundreds more have been arrested. The reason for the failure of this protest can be analyzed from the domestic, regional and international perspectives.
In the beginning of the uprising, certain groups supporting the Al Khalifa, intelligence forces along with Bahraini media tried to portray the democracy-seeking uprising of Bahrainis as a Shia uprising trying to overthrow the Sunni rulers of the country and installing Shias in power.In other words, they succeeded in giving a Shia face to this uprising. Therefore, the Sunni part of the population was hesitating to join the uprising. Gradually, however, with the vigilance of the people and the arrest of the Sunni political activists, the Bahraini uprising turned into a completely popular one. However, regional and international factors are the main reasons for the failure of the Bahrainis to achieve victory. The cooperation of [Persian] Gulf Cooperation Council ([P]GCC) security forces, headed by Saudi Arabia, with Bahraini security forces in repressing the people and the international community overlooking the crimes committed by the Bahraini regime in violating the human rights of its people are the main reasons for the Bahraini uprising's failure. Ignoring Bahrain's developments In the 21st century which has been dubbed as century of information revolution by pundits, media has played an important role in international developments. Currently, the people of a small town in China will learn about a shooting which takes place in Chicago just as a Kentucky farmer learns about the execution of a thief in a city in Indonesia. In this era of information and explosion of news, the important issue is the manner of news coverage by media. In general, Western media compared to other world media give coverage to a larger number of people. These media outlets can at whim zoom their camera lenses on a specific region and draw the attention of the rest of the world in that location and ultimately give people the information they want. However, the developments in Bahrain, the repeated violation of human rights in the country, widespread crackdowns and arrests have failed to attract the attention of media outlets. In other words, they don't want people to pay attention to this crisis region so that pressure from public opinion will not lead to the repressive Al Khalifa regime's fall. Western media which have strong ties with US and Israeli politicians will not benefit from the fall of the Al Khalifa regime and will instead incur heavy losses. One of the most important US military bases in the Persian Gulf is located in Bahrain. At the same time, the Al Khalifa family has special relations with the Zionist regime. The Zionists and the US are both aware that if a popular and democratic regime governs people they will no longer be able to maintain their current position there. In conclusion, it can be said that because of the strong Western media ties with US and Israeli politicians unless the Bahraini regime's existence is no longer in the interest of Washington and Tel Aviv Bahrainis cannot hope for fundamental change in their country. Of course, if crackdowns intensify, non-governmental organizations and independent media might be able to assist the Bahrainis in achieving their goals. KA/HGH

Jazzing Up a Show
The idea of a jazz-Broadway recording in which a single artist (or duo or band) devotes a whole album to music from a single show goes back at least as far as 1944. That's when trumpeter and bandleader Charlie Spivak, on a set of 78 rpm records, played four selections from "Porgy & Bess" (even then regarded as an American classic). And in the decades since, which have seen the breakout success of "Porgy" albums by the combinations of Louis Armstrong and Ella Fitzgerald (1957) and Miles Davis and Gil Evans (1958), the "folk opera" by George Gershwin, Ira Gershwin and DuBose Heyward is almost certainly the most covered score in jazz history. So it's not altogether surprising that the latest jazz-show album to cross the doorstep is "A Different Porgy & Another Bess" by the Brussels Jazz Orchestra.
The jazz-Broadway vogue began properly in 1956 with "Shelly Manne & His Friends: Modern Jazz Performances of Songs From 'My Fair Lady,'" a best-selling LP that launched an entire cottage industry of jazz-show hybrids, many by the drummer Manne himself and his No. 1 "friend," the pianist André Previn. The new Brussels Jazz Orchestra release joins last year's "Fleet Street" by Terry Vosbein and the Knoxville Jazz Orchestra (featuring music from Stephen Sondheim's "Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street"), and "Three Penny Opera Live in Aarau" by the Renolds Jazz Orchestra, in showing that jazz interpretations of Broadway scores by full-sized orchestras is thriving.
"A Different Porgy & Another Bess" comes out of the long history of vocal-driven interpretations of the folk opera, which often involve juxtapositions of elements from classical and pop music, as well as jazz and Broadway. As in the versions by, say, Ray Charles and Cleo Laine or Harry Belafonte and Lena Horne, all the songs written for male characters are sung by David Linx and the female parts are handled by Portuguese singer Maria João. But that is the only way this version is in the least traditional: The 11 orchestrations, each by a different arranger, paint an array of tonal pictures behind and around the singers, including lots of funk backbeats.
"I Love You, Porgy" (the Catfish Row ebonics having now been dropped) immerses both singers in a dizzying backdrop of swirling counterpoint; the melody and the narrative would be hard to follow if we didn't know the material so well. "Clara, Clara, Don't Be Downhearted," one of Heyward's gospel-styled texts, achieves an entirely different and more secular feel from the prayer it usually is. Sung by Ms. João in a tight, pinched voice, it's now more swinger than spiritual. At different points, a Fender Rhodes piano takes a solo, and Ms. João harmonizes wordlessly with the horns. Like most jazz-show albums, "A Different Porgy & Another Bess" picks and chooses from the full score, and reorders the songs for its own purposes.
"Three Penny Opera Live in Aarau" by the Renolds Jazz Orchestra, however, offers the complete Kurt Weill score from beginning to end, rendered instrumentally, with an all-star orchestra that includes such American headliners as the trumpeter Randy Brecker, saxophonist Bobby Watson, trombonist Buster Cooper and drummer Victor Lewis. Given the completeness of the project—a full two hours long—it is especially puzzling that the Weill estate decided to suppress the recording. The double album was taped live in Switzerland in 2000. But, according to a press release from the Shanti Records label, the estate decided after the concert was finally released in 2011 that it didn't approve of the "rearrangements" (by pianist Christian Jacob) and demanded that the CDs be withdrawn from the market. In addition to following the show order, Mr. Jacob's charts generally retain the tempos and moods of each piece—very effectively in the "The Jealous Duet," where Polly Peachum and Lucy Brown are played instrumentally by a feuding trumpet and trombone, their animosity resolved by an alto saxophone that takes the ballad part of the melody. It's impossible to understand the rationale of the composer's estate—this is an inspired interpretation of a work by a composer who was a major jazz fan himself. Surely Weill would have wanted it to be heard.
"Fleet Street" is another stunner, the work of Mr. Vosbein, a composer and arranger who teaches composition at Washington and Lee University and is far from a household name. This full-length instrumental treatment of "Sweeney Todd," Mr. Sondheim's 1979 masterpiece, is not only a tribute to Mr. Sondheim, but also to bandleader Stan Kenton; the overall groove and tonal colors of "Fleet Street" owe much to Kenton's classic 1962 jazz version of "West Side Story" (with lyrics also by Mr. Sondheim).
Like Kenton's arranger Johnny Richards, Mr. Vosbein relies heavily on deeply voiced trombones to paint a dark, somber portrait—highly suited to a heavy melodrama about serial killing and cannibalism. But while "West Side Story" is a dance-oriented show with lots of songs in tempo, Mr. Vosbein has to look hard for lighter moments in the "Sweeney Todd" score, and he makes the most of them. "Green Finch and Linnet Bird" is almost a throwaway on stage, but it now becomes a major part of "Fleet Street," as do the two versions of "Johanna" (reflecting the way it's sung in Act 1, as a ballad, and Act 2, much more upbeat).
One can only hope that this is hardly the conclusion of the tradition: I'd love to hear the Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra commission an interpretation of "The Book of Mormon" or the Afro-Latin Jazz Orchestra's takes on "Evita" and "In the Heights." The combination of jazz and musical theater proves that there's more than one way to tell a story.
