text: Allegories are similar to metaphors: in both the author uses one subject to represent another, seemingly unrelated, subject. However, unlike metaphors, which are generally short and contained within a few lines, an allegory extends its representation over the course of an entire story, novel, or poem. This lesson plan will introduce students to the concept of allegory by using George Orwell's widely read novella, Animal Farm, which is available Project Gutenberg.

4.20.1 Bacteriology
Tuberculosis (TB) is caused by organisms of the Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex (M.TB complex), which are slow-growing, aerobic, acid-fast bacilli. The M.TB complex consists of Mycobacterium tuberculosis, M. bovis, M. microti, M. canetti and M. africanum,1 of which M. tuberculosis is the cause of almost all TB in Australia.2
4.20.2 Clinical features
As infection is usually air-borne, lung disease is the most common form of tuberculosis, accounting for approximately 60% of notified TB cases in Australia.3 Cough, fever, sweats, weight loss and haemoptysis are common symptoms of pulmonary TB. TB lymphadenitis is the most common extrapulmonary manifestation, but the disease can occur in any part of the body. Disseminated disease (miliary TB) and meningeal TB are more common in very young children, and are among the most serious manifestations of TB disease.1
Most persons infected with M. tuberculosis remain asymptomatic, but there is a 10% lifetime risk of developing clinical illness (although the risk can vary depending on age and immune status), sometimes many years after the original infection. Infants, the elderly and persons who are immunocompromised, due to drugs or disease or as a result of adverse socioenvironmental circumstances (e.g. malnutrition, alcoholism), are more prone to rapidly progressive or generalised infection.1,4
4.20.3 Epidemiology
The World Health Organization (WHO) declared tuberculosis a global emergency in 1993, and recent reports have reaffirmed the threat to human health.5 It is estimated that in 2010 there were 8.8 million incident cases of TB globally. The majority of these cases (81%) were accounted for by 22 high-burden countries, which all have estimated TB incidences of greater than 40 per 100 000.6 Approximately 1200 cases of TB are notified to Australian health authorities each year. The annual notification rate for TB has been relatively stable at approximately 5 to 6 cases per 100 000 population since 1985.2,3 In the southern states, rates among Indigenous Australians overall are comparable with rates among Australian-born non-Indigenous Australians; however, in some specific settings (e.g. in the Northern Territory, Far North Queensland and northern South Australia) rates are higher in Indigenous Australians3 (see 3.1 Vaccination for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people). Most TB cases in Australia (over 85%) occur in persons born overseas, particularly those born in Asia, southern and eastern European countries, Pacific island nations, and north and sub-Saharan Africa. The rate of TB in the overseas-born population has been slowly increasing over the past decade.3 The rate of multi-drug resistant (MDR) TB in Australia has been low (less than 2% of notified cases); however, the proportion of MDR-TB cases identified has increased in recent years.2,3,7-9 Tuberculosis in animals (M. bovis) has been eradicated by screening and culling programs.10
Patients who are immunocompromised are at high risk of developing active TB if they are infected with M. tuberculosis.4,5,11 Screening programs in Australia concentrate on contacts of notified cases and others at increased risk of TB infection, including refugees and healthcare workers.
4.20.4 Vaccine
The BCG vaccine currently registered for use in Australia is marketed by Sanofi-Aventis Australia Pty Ltd (refer below for more information). In circumstances where this product is in short supply, other BCG vaccine products may be made available in Australia. Advice on their use will be provided by state and territory health authorities. (Refer also to 4.20.12 Public health management of tuberculosis.)
- BCG vaccine – Sanofi-Aventis Australia Pty Ltd (live vaccine prepared from an attenuated strain of Mycobacterium bovis). 1.5 mg lyophilised powder in a multi-dose vial with separate diluent. Reconstituted vaccine contains 8–32 x 106 colony forming units per mL and monosodium glutamate 1.5% w/v. May contain trace amounts of polysorbate 80. Reconstituted volume provides about 10 adult or 20 infant doses.
BCG (bacille Calmette-Gu�rin) vaccine is a suspension of a live attenuated strain of M. bovis. Worldwide, there are many BCG vaccines available, but they are all derived from the strain propagated by the Institute Pasteur, which was first tested in humans in 1921.12 BCG vaccination probably has little effect on preventing infection per se, or reactivation among those already infected with TB, so the role of BCG vaccination in preventing overall transmission is probably limited.13 However, there is strong evidence that BCG vaccination in infancy provides greater than 70% protection against severe disseminated forms of TB disease in young children, including miliary TB and TB meningitis.14-18 TB can be difficult to diagnose in young children and progression to disseminated TB can be rapid; they are therefore the primary target for the use of BCG vaccine. The efficacy of BCG vaccine against pulmonary disease in adults is less consistent and has ranged from no protection to 80% in controlled trials.19 The greatest protection has been observed among skin test-negative adults in North America and Europe, and the lowest among skin test-positive persons in tropical settings.13 The reason for the wide variation in measured effectiveness is not clear, but has been attributed to variability in study quality, differences in BCG strains, host factors such as age at vaccination and nutritional status, and differences in the prevalence of infection with environmental mycobacteria. The duration of protection following BCG vaccination has been difficult to measure because the interval between infection and disease may extend to decades. Benefit from infant vaccination has been found in studies with follow-up of up to 12 years, but protection is commonly thought to decline over 10 to 20 years.13 There is evidence that memory responses persist for up to 10 to 50 years.20-22
BCG vaccination has been shown to offer some protection against Mycobacterium leprae, the causative agent of leprosy.23
BCG vaccine is not used in the treatment of tuberculosis disease. BCG may be used as a therapeutic modality for transitional cell carcinoma of the bladder.
4.20.5 Transport, storage and handling
Transport according to National vaccine storage guidelines: Strive for 5.24 Store at +2�C to +8�C. Do not freeze. Protect from light.
BCG vaccine must be reconstituted by adding the entire contents of the diluent container to the vial and shaking until the powder is completely dissolved. Reconstituted vaccine is very unstable and must be stored at +2�C to +8�C and used within one working session of 4 to 6 hours.
4.20.6 Dosage and administration
The dose of BCG vaccine in newborns and infants <12 months of age is 0.05 mL, given by intradermal injection.
The dose of BCG vaccine in children ≥12 months of age and in adults is 0.1 mL, given by intradermal injection.
BCG vaccine is given as a single dose. Due to the lack of evidence, BCG revaccination is not recommended in any person.
BCG vaccine is available from state/territory tuberculosis services.
Before vaccination
Tuberculin skin test (Mantoux)
All individuals, except infants <6 months of age, should undergo a tuberculin skin test (TST; Mantoux) before BCG vaccination. A hypersensitivity reaction to tuberculin purified protein derivative (PPD; Tubersol) used in the TST assists in the identification of those infected with M.TB. A hypersensitivity reaction may also occur in those infected with other mycobacteria and those previously vaccinated with BCG. Only immunocompetent persons who have induration <5 mm following correctly administered and interpreted TST should receive BCG vaccination. Guidelines to assist in the undertaking and interpretation of TST are available by contacting local state/territory tuberculosis services.
It should be noted that live viral vaccines inhibit the response to tuberculin and tuberculin-positive persons may become tuberculin-negative for up to a month after measles infection.25,26 As such, tuberculin skin testing may be unreliable for at least 4 weeks after the administration of live viral vaccines.
Interferon-gamma (γ) release assays
Newly available blood tests (Interferon-gamma release assays; IGRAs) are available for the detection of tuberculosis infection. TST, however, remains the preferred method of screening for tuberculosis infection, pending further evaluation of IGRAs. Guidelines for the use of IGRAs in Australia have been developed by the National Tuberculosis Advisory Committee.27
BCG vaccination procedures
BCG vaccination should only be given by medical or nursing staff who are trained in BCG vaccination procedures.
- Use a short (10 mm) 26–27 gauge needle with a short bevel. The risk of spillage can be minimised by using an insulin syringe to which the needle is already attached.
- Wear protective eye-wear. The person to be vaccinated (and the parent/carer holding a small child being vaccinated) should also wear protective eye-wear. Eye splashes may ulcerate; if an eye splash occurs, wash the eye with saline or water immediately.
- Identify the correct injection site. BCG vaccine should be injected into the skin over the region of insertion of the deltoid muscle into the humerus. This is just above the midpoint of the upper arm. This site is recommended to minimise the risk of keloid formation. By convention, the left upper arm is used wherever possible to assist those who subsequently look for evidence of BCG vaccination.
- Stretch the skin between a finger and thumb and insert the bevel into the dermis, bevel uppermost, to a distance of about 2 mm. The bevel should be visible through the transparent epidermis.
- If the injection is not intradermal, withdraw the needle and try again at a new site. A truly intradermal injection should raise a blanched bleb of about 7 mm in diameter with the features of peau d'orange (the appearance of orange peel). Considerable resistance will be felt as the injection is given. If this resistance is not felt, the needle may be in the subcutaneous tissues.
Response to BCG vaccination
In response to BCG vaccination, a small red papule forms and eventually ulcerates, usually within 2 to 3 weeks of vaccination. The ulcer heals with minimal scarring over several weeks. There may be swelling and tenderness in local lymph nodes. While a local reaction represents a normal response to BCG vaccination, more extensive local reactions are less common (refer to 4.20.11 Adverse events below). Subjects who are given BCG vaccine despite latent or previous TB infection are likely to experience an accelerated response characterised by induration within 24 to 48 hours, pustule formation in 5 to 7 days, and healing within 10 to 15 days.
Clinical trials have not shown a consistent relationship between the size of tuberculin reactions after BCG vaccination and the level of protection provided. TST is not recommended to demonstrate immunity after BCG vaccination.28,29
Co-administration with other vaccines
BCG can be administered at the same time as, or at any time following receipt of, other inactivated vaccines (e.g. tetanus-containing vaccines), if required.
If administration of both BCG and another live parenteral vaccine (e.g. MMR or yellow fever) is indicated, the vaccines should be given either on the same day or at least 4 weeks apart.
There are no restrictions on the timing of BCG vaccine in relation to oral live vaccines, including rotavirus and oral poliomyelitis vaccine (OPV) (e.g. in infants who have received OPV overseas).
4.20.7 Recommendations
BCG is not recommended for routine use in the general population, given the low incidence of TB in Australia and the variable efficacy reported in adults. However, some groups are at increased of tuberculosis and BCG vaccination may be warranted for these persons, based on a risk assessment. BCG should be specifically considered for the following groups.
Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander neonates
In some parts of Australia, the incidence of TB is appreciably higher among Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people than Australian-born non-Indigenous Australians, and BCG is recommended for neonates living in those regions.30 State and territory guidelines should be consulted for local recommendations and the geographic areas where BCG vaccination of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander neonates is conducted (refer to Appendix 1 Contact details for Australian, state and territory government health authorities and communicable disease control). (Refer also to 3.1 Vaccination for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people.)
Infants born in Australia to migrant parents
TB is rare in infants and young children born in Australia, but infants born to parents who have migrated from countries with a high TB incidence (i.e. >40 cases per 100 000 population per year – refer to 4.20.3 Epidemiology above) may be at higher risk of TB exposure in their early life.31 BCG vaccination of these infants is not routinely recommended because of the uncertainty of the risks and benefits.
Children who will be travelling to high TB incidence settings
The risk of TB disease in children travelling to countries with a high TB incidence (i.e. >40 cases per 100 000 population per year – refer to 4.20.3 Epidemiology above) depends on the age of the child, the duration of stay, and the TB incidence at the destination. Country-specific incidence data are available from the World Health Organization.32
The need for BCG vaccination should be assessed for young children, particularly those aged <5 years, who will be travelling to a country with high TB incidence for an extended period. This is best discussed with local state/territory TB services or with a paediatric infectious diseases specialist. BCG vaccination should ideally occur at least 3 months before departure and therefore consideration should be given to future travel plans at birth.
Neonates born to parents with leprosy or a family history of leprosy
There is strong evidence that BCG provides some protection against Mycobacterium leprae.23
Occupational groups
There is some evidence that specific occupational groups are at increased risk of TB, including embalmers, and healthcare workers likely to encounter patients with TB (e.g. chest clinic staff) or those involved in conducting autopsies. Due to the limited evidence of benefit of BCG vaccination in adults and interference of vaccination with interpretation of TST, routine BCG vaccination of persons within these occupations is not recommended. In occupational settings, TB prevention and control should be focused around infection control measures, employment-based TST screening and therapy for latent TB infection. However, BCG vaccination should be considered for TST-negative healthcare workers who are at high risk of exposure to drug-resistant TB, due to the difficulty in treating drug-resistant infection.
4.20.8 Pregnancy and breastfeeding
BCG vaccine is contraindicated in pregnant women.
BCG vaccine can be given to breastfeeding women.
Refer to 3.3 Groups with special vaccination requirements, Table 3.3.1 Recommendations for vaccination in pregnancy for more information.
4.20.9 Contraindications
BCG is a live vaccine and its use is contraindicated in the following groups:
- Persons with known or suspected HIV infection,33 even if asymptomatic or with normal immune function, because of the risk of disseminated BCG infection.34,35
- Persons treated with corticosteroids or other immunosuppressive therapy, including monoclonal antibodies against tumour necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) (e.g. infliximab, etanercept, adalimulab) (refer to 3.3 Groups with special vaccination requirements).
- Infants born to mothers treated with bDMARDS (e.g. TNF-alpha blocking monoclonal antibodies) in the third trimester of pregnancy frequently have detectable antibodies for several months and they should not be vaccinated with BCG.36-38 (Refer also to 'Use of immunosuppressive therapy during pregnancy' in 3.3.2 Vaccination of women who are planning pregnancy, pregnant or breastfeeding, and preterm infants.)
- Persons with congenital cellular immunodeficiencies, including specific deficiencies of the interferon-gamma pathway.
- Persons with malignancies involving bone marrow or lymphoid systems (refer also to 3.3 Groups with special vaccination requirements).
- Persons with any serious underlying illness, including severe malnutrition.
- Pregnant women (BCG vaccine has not been shown to cause fetal damage, but use of live vaccines in pregnancy is not recommended).
- Persons who have previously had TB or a large (≥5 mm) reaction to a tuberculin skin test.
4.20.10 Precautions
For those who would otherwise be candidates for BCG, vaccination should be deferred in the following groups:
- Neonates who are medically unstable, until the neonate is in good medical condition and ready for discharge from hospital.
- Infants born to mothers who are suspected or known to be HIV-positive, until HIV infection of the infant can be confidently excluded.
- Persons with active skin disease such as eczema, dermatitis or psoriasis at or near the site of vaccination.
- Persons being treated for latent TB infection, as the therapy is likely to inactivate the BCG vaccine.
- Persons with significant febrile illness, until 1 month after recovery.
Vaccination before or after immunoglobulin or blood product administration
BCG vaccine can be given at any time before or after administration of immunoglobulin or any antibody-containing blood product as there is minimal interaction between these preparations and BCG vaccine.39 (Refer also to 3.3.4 Vaccination of recent recipients of normal human immunoglobulin and other blood products.)
4.20.11 Adverse events
The normal reaction to BCG vaccination has been described above (refer to 4.20.6 Dosage and administration). About 5% of vaccinated persons experience adverse events. Injection site abscesses occur in 2.5% of vaccinated persons and lymphadenitis in 1%, while up to 1% require medical attention.40 Gross suppurative or generalised complications of BCG vaccination have been treated with anti-tuberculosis drugs; however, there is no consensus on the management of these complications and specialist advice should be sought from local state/territory tuberculosis services. Anaphylactic reactions have also been reported. Keloid formation can occur, but the risk is minimised if the injection is not given higher than the level of insertion of the deltoid muscle into the humerus. The overall risk of fatal disseminated infection is extremely low (approximately 1 case per million vaccinated persons).13
4.20.12 Public health management of tuberculosis
Tuberculosis is a notifiable disease in all states and territories in Australia.
Further instructions about the public health management of tuberculosis, including management of cases of tuberculosis and their contacts, should be obtained from state/territory public health authorities (refer to Appendix 1 Contact details for Australian, state and territory government health authorities and communicable disease control).
In special circumstances, such as during shortages of the currently registered vaccine, state and territory public health authorities can also provide advice on the use of alternative vaccine products.
4.20.13 Variations from product information
Although the product information for BCG vaccine specifies that vaccine must be used within 8 hours of reconstitution, the National Tuberculosis Advisory Committee (NTAC) guidelines recommend that any unused vaccine is discarded after a working period of 4 to 6 hours.
The product information for BCG vaccine states that the vaccine is contraindicated in individuals with generalised skin disease such as eczema, furunculosis, atopic dermatitis or other exudative or inflammatory dermatologic conditions. The ATAGI recommends instead that BCG vaccination should be deferred in persons with active skin disease at or near the site of vaccination.

Apple will introduce the iPhone 5 in just a few days and begin shipping it to customers in less than two weeks. Thanks to numerous leaks, we know quite a bit about the iPhone 5 in advance of its official release.
While there's been a lot of excitement over next-generation Windows Phones and Android devices in the past couple of weeks, the iPhone 5 is expected to steal the spotlight. Here's a simple guide to what we know about the iPhone 5 so far and things you should consider before getting your hopes up to buy one.
iPhone 5 release Date and Venue
Apple will introduce the iPhone 5 on September 12 and likely begin shipping it to customers on September 21. Apple's iPhone 5 event will take place at the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts in San Francisco. The venue holds a few hundred people and is where Apple's announced major products in recent years. The Yerba Buena Center for the Arts is just around the corner from Moscone Center West, where Apple holds its WWDC keynotes in front of several thousand developers each June. The company uses its small on-campus theater for more intimate events.
The Apple invite for the September 12 event shows displays a shadow of the number 5, implying the event is for the iPhon 5.
iPhone 5 Will Be First Real Update Since 2010
The iPhone 5 will be the first true iPhone redesign since June 2010, which is when Apple released the iPhone 4. The iPhone 4S is a very minor update to the iPhone 4. The two models are nearly indistinguishable cosmetically, prompting many iPhone 4 users to hold off on upgrading to the newer model.
The iPhone 5 is an evolution of the iPhone 4/4S design rather than a complete revamp. The iPhone 5 will be a bit taller than the older models to accomodate a larger display that will be optimized for widescreen video and provide more real estate for apps. The back of the iPhone 5 will likely be made of metal rather than glass.
The iPhone 5 will have a new docking connector, which will render some accessories obsolete. There are rumors that Apple will sell an adapter to ease the transition to the new standard, but iPhone 5 buyers may be better off opting for new accessories.
iPhone 5 Will Have Fast 4G LTE
The most significant change in terms of tech specs will be 4G LTE. Older iPhone models run on relatively slow 3G networks, with the exception of AT&T version of the iPhone 4S, which runs on the carrier's HSPA+ network, a slow 4G network that some people label as "faux-G." The newer 4G LTE technology is significantly faster than HSPA+ or 3G. In fact, it's faster than many people's home Internet connections. You can see speed demo of AT&T and Verizon's 4G LTE networks below using the latest iPad models.
While iPhone 5 users will certainly enjoy speedy 4G LTE speeds, there are a couple of downsides. The faster network makes it much easier to use up gobs of mobile bandwidth. Watching videos, placing FaceTime calls, using the personal hotspot feature and downloading large files is much easier over 4G LTE than older networks. And that's exactly what AT&T and Verizon are counting on. Their new shared-data plans practically give away voice calling and messaging and are priced per GB. We expect at least some iPhone 5 users to get a bit of bill shock when they go nuts with streaming video and using other high-bandwidth apps on the go.
Verizon has the most mature 4G LTE network, covering more than 300 cities and most of the United States' population. AT&T's 4G LTE network is running in more than 40 markets and has stated it will cover nearly 100 by the end of the year. Sprint's 4G LTE network covers just 19 markets and is expected to expand, but the company hasn't made formal announcements about its plans. Sprint's 4G LTE network is missing in action in major markets such as San Francisco and New York, which means it may not be a good idea to buy a Sprint iPhone 5 at launch.
iPhone 5 Pricing
We expect the iPhone 5 to cost $199, $299 and $399 depending on storage capacity. This is the same pricing scheme as previous iPhone generations. These prices will require new two-year wireless contracts and are subsidized. Those who aren't eligible for full upgrades, including almost all iPhone 4S owners, will pay significantly more. AT&T is offering early upgrade discounts to some customers, but you should pad your iPhone 5 budget if you're an iPhone 4S owner.

Barry University announced Monday night it is notifying patients of its Foot and Ankle Institute that their medical records and personal information may have been hacked.
The security breach was detected around May 14th via a school laptop infected by a form of malware - software used mainly to gain access to private computer systems.
The university launched a probe and hired an outside computer forensic company to investigate the extent of the infection and remove the malware infection from the university's network, the school said in a news release.
The affected files have been restored to their original state and there is no longer any evidence of active malware on the device, the school said.
But Barry University has determined - seven-months after the incident - that certain sensitive information of patients treated at the institute may have been compromised. The number of patients affected was not released by the school.
The information at risk includes patients' full name, date of birth, Social Security number, bank account number, credit/debit card number, driver's license number, medical record number, health insurance information, diagnosis, and/or health information about specific treatment they received at the Miami Shores school.
"Due to the complexity of the malware infection, the university cannot conclusively determine whether the malware was able to expose any of its patients' or guarantors' personal information or whether an unauthorized person acquired the information," the news release said.
Out of an abundance of caution, the university said, it is notifying each individual patient whose records were at risk.
The university added it has not received any reports of identity fraud or theft resulting from the breach. Barry said it has taken steps to secure its computer system.
The university is offering a complementary 12-month credit monitoring service to affected individuals.
For more information, call Barry University's toll-free dedicated call center at 1-800-981-7571, Monday-Friday between 9 a.m. and 9 p.m. EST. Callers will need to use reference number: 47933.

So, there's not much to be said for today other than I'm working on my project at a slow-but-steady pace. I talked to the professor last class and he did inform me that it would be a wiser choice to at least change the character designs in some way so as to avoid any type of plagerism-based lawsuit by Kiraz, and I have to admit it is the right decision. Unfortunately, that means that most of the work I've done so far was kind of for naught, but at the same time the fixes aren't too terribly large. Body types are pretty generic, so I think I can get away with using Kiraz-style bodies and just trying to come up with new heads and faces for the characters and I should be all right. I'll post more work later this morning when I've made some changes.

U.S. Treasury Secretary Paul O'Neill is in Argentina, the third stop on his tour of South American countries with severe economic problems. He has been met with large Argentine protests.
An estimated 5,000 Argentines packed the streets of downtown Buenos Aires, singing, burning American flags and waving signs saying, "Yankees, get out." U.S. Treasury Secretary Paul O'Neill was kept away from the protests, where human rights groups and left-wing political parties denounced the Bush Administration and the International Monetary Fund, blaming both for Argentina's devastating economic crisis
One man says 60 percent of Argentina's children are poor and he blames the United States. Most of the protests were confined within the Buenos Aires city limits.
Mr. O'Neill went straight from the airport to the suburbs for a meeting with President Eduardo Duhalde. Security will be tight until Mr. O'Neill leaves Argentina. Most public appearances have been canceled and most meetings are being held in secret locations. Many Argentines blame Mr. O'Neill for blocking loans that could help Argentina prop up its collapsing economy.
The secretary just delivered $1.5 billion in U.S. aid to neighboring Uruguay and has shown a willingness to help Brazil. However, he has not made similar overtures toward Argentina.
He did not ingratiate himself to this country when he told a widely played interview, he worried money given to crisis-stricken South American countries would end up in Swiss bank accounts.
Before Mr. O'Neill heads back to Washington, he will meet with Argentina's economy minister and other government officials who will try to convince him they, too, deserve aid.

The RBA has decided to once again leave the official cash rate unchanged for the 12th consecutive month.
Share this article:
The RBA has opted to leave the official cash rate on hold at 1.5%.
At its board meeting today the Reserve Bank of Australia decided to once again leave the official cash rate unchanged for the 12th consecutive month.
The RBA avoided the temptation to follow other developed economies and increase rates, taking into account the impact this would have on the Australian dollar and therefore tourism and other exports. Other factors considered would have been sluggish consumer spending and record low wages growth which have led to lower than desired inflation and fears that housing construction is set to slow.
Regardless of whether rates move up, down or stay the same, my role as your mortgage broker remains unchanged. I'm always on hand to ensure you still have the right financial solution for your current circumstances.

This is a perfect dish when you have guests coming and no idea what to make, and want something out of the ordinary. This easy Asian-inspired barbecue recipe will definitely impress.
This chicken turned out delicious, however, it needed some tweeking so I only gave the original recipe four stars. Thanks to other reviewers I increased the recipe for the sauce quite a bit. This is necessary as having extra for a dipping sauce is a MUST! I did add a little water (tried olive oil too, but didn't work as well). It is too thick if you don't. You have to really watch this on the grill so the sauce doesn't get burnt. Also, as one reviewer suggested, I added some brown sugar just to the dipping sauce. This makes a huge difference also. I probably increased the sauce by 4xs, but I was cooking 8 breasts. We will definitely make it again. Thanks! - 11 Sep 2007 (Review from Allrecipes US | Canada)
I've make this minus the curry, (can't seem to acquire a taste for that) Make double (or triple) sauce, warm it up and serve it over some kind of asian noodles pad tai style... or linguini or angel hair. A sprinkling of finely chopped green onions is a good add in. Thinning out the sauce with a little chicken stock if it's too thick. I prefer using the crunchy peanut butter or I've also topped it with chopoped peanuts. My peanut butter lovin' 4 year old eats it up. - 06 Jul 2006 (Review from Allrecipes US | Canada)
The sauce is VERY thick. I added another tbsp of soy sauce plus some water to thin it out enough to baste the chicken. What a different cooking method makes! The first time I made this, I baked it and it came out pretty good. Recently, I followed the recipe and grilled it. The grill roasts the peanut butter and gives it a carmelized flavor that baking just cannot replicate. While the chicken was grilling, I made a douple recipe of the sauce, added 1 1/2 tsp sugar and more water, and brought it to a boil in a sauce pan. I served the chicken over whole wheat pasta and topped with the extra sauce. - 20 Jan 2007 (Review from Allrecipes US | Canada)

Sebastian Stan was left stunned when two Captain America: Civil War fans got engaged during a photo opportunity with him.
The 33-year-old actor plays James Buchanan 'Bucky' Barnes/Winter Soldier in the comic book movie adaptations. The films have a dedicated fan following, with many choosing to show their love for the franchise by dressing up for the Wizard World Philadelphia fan convention at the weekend.
Sebastian was a guest at the event, and took part in a photo opportunity session with fans. Two who were very eager to pose up with the actor were John Felix, 33, and his girlfriend Natasha Marrero, 23, who had traveled from North Carolina for the convention. The first snap of the pair with their idol showed Natasha in a joke embrace with Sebastian, as John stood sulking nearby. But the next shot showed John down on bended knee, popping the question as Natasha screamed in shock and delight. Sebastian's reaction was also clear to see, as he placed his hands behind his head and looked on as the scene unfolded.
Luckily, due to the photo opportunity setting of the proposal, everything was caught on camera, and consequently shared on Natasha's Tumblr page.
She captioned the shot collage: "Today, I met my favorite person in the world. Today also happens to be the 1 year anniversary of me and my other favorite person in the world. And now we're engaged.
"Needless to say Sebastian was as shocked and excited as I was since he took out his phone and recorded everything hahahaha this could not have been a more perfect trip!!!!"
In a later post on Tumblr, Natasha revealed she and John had already invited Sebastian to their upcoming nuptials.
"Sebastian Stan, is one of the most genuinely kind people I've ever met, who is truly appreciative of his fans," she wrote. "He was scheduled to do autographs at 3:45 today. While on break walking around, he saw a bunch of his fans in line already waiting around 1:45, so he came up and said 'you guys want some autographs?!' and sat down with no security guard or staff around.
He remembered us from yesterday and got super excited, hugged us both and congratulated us after we told him he's invited to the wedding lol (laugh out loud)... I love this man!"
Sebastian has found worldwide fame playing Bucky Barnes in Captain America: The First Avenger in 2011, 2014's Captain America: The Winter Soldier and Captain America: Civil War earlier this year (16).

THE NATIONAL Cotton Council has named Fresh Produce Sportswear, a Boulder, Colo.-based clothing designer, manufacturer and retailer, as its U.S. Cotton Champion for 2003.
The award was presented at the 2003 Beltwide Cotton Conferences in Nashville by the National Cotton Council of America on behalf of its National Cotton Women's Committee. NCWC members modeled Fresh Produce Sportswear's '03 spring line as part of their annual Beltwide cotton fashion show.
The 2003 U.S. Cotton Champion Award recognizes Fresh Produce Sportswear's commitment to the use of U.S.-grown cotton in its clothing.
NCWC officer Charlotte Mathis, who operates "The Cotton Shop" boutique adjacent to a cotton gin she manages in Moultrie, Ga., said her customers love the Fresh Produce Sportswear lines.
"Their clothing is comfortable, has neat colors and is made of quality U.S. cotton, which helps preserve the garment's colorfastness," she said.

The 25-year-old's task of landing both eased considerably with main rival Isaac Makwala of Botswana barred from running.
The 25-year-old's task of landing both eased considerably with main rival Isaac Makwala of Botswana barred from running by the sport's governing body because he had been diagnosed with the highly contagious norovirus.
It didn't prevent the 30-year-old from turning up at the warm-up track only to be turned away. The International Association of Athletics Federations (IAAF) said he should be in quarantine and not near the track.
"It was definitely a heartbreaking moment," Van Niekerk said. "I have a lot of sympathy for Isaac."
"It is quite disappointing. I would have liked him to have his opportunity."
"But this is sports, these things happen."
Van Niekerk added that the double was not a given.
"It's easier said than done," he said. "It's competition, it's very unpredictable.
"My body still feels very good. It took me a while to recover tonight."
"But from endurance I go straight to speed tomorrow... It's a day-by-day, step-by-step process for us athletes."
Botswana suffered further disappointment as 800m race favourite Nijel Amos -- second on the same track in the 2012 Olympic final -- faded to finish fifth with Frenchman Pierre-Ambroise Bosse taking a deserved gold for a bold and brave performance which he revealed afterwards reflected his love of gambling.
"I am a gambler, I love going to the casino," said Bosse.
"And today I just gambled, I put everything on the red, even my last Euro. So hopefully, this is also for luck in love."
However, for his compatriot Renaud Lavillenie his world gold drought continued even in the stadium where he won Olympic gold in 2012.
The Frenchman had to settle for bronze -- his fifth minor medal in the world championships -- with American Sam Kendricks taking the title in front of his parents and girlfriend to boot.
Conseslus Kipruto maintained Kenya's fine record in the men's 3000 metres steeplechase winning in cheeky style from Morocco's Soufiane El bakkali with long-time leader Evan Jager of the United States third.
Kipruto appeared to be under pressure from Elbakkali going to the last obstacle but once over it the Olympic champion cupped his hand to his ear and pounded his chest.
"I used my plans well and last night for morale I told myself: 'I am Olympic champion and that others must break me'," said Kipruto.
"There are others who are strong but I used my own plans. I knew if the race was around 8:10 that I was going to win."
There was a second world title for the Czech Republic's women's javelin world record holder Barbora Spotakova.
The 36-year-old -- a two-time Olympic champion -- won with a mark of 66.76 metres.
"At this stadium, I am unbeatable," said Spotakova.
"There must be something in the air about London. I cannot explain it but when I enter this stadium, I always feel so calm and relaxed."
"The whole day I was thinking about my last world title which was ten years ago in Osaka. Actually, it is also almost exactly five years since my Olympic title here in London. These facts made me feel very emotional."
There could also be a women's double in the 200 and 400m as Shaunae Miller-Uibo, the Bahamas 400m Olympic champion, looked good in her 200m heat -- she runs in the 400m final on Wednesday -- and with her chances boosted as America's 100m gold medallist Tori Bowie did not start because of the after effects of her tumble after crossing the line in Sunday's victory.

Tips for checking the engine light on a Honda Accord include having the vehicle assessed by a professional should the light activate while driving and turning off the vehicle for 10 minutes or more to allow the engine to cool down in response to a blinking engine light. The check engine light provides a signal to drivers that there may be a mechanical issue or engine malfunction.Continue Reading
The check engine light is also known as the Malfunction Indicator Lamp. The service department of a car dealership or a professional mechanic can run diagnostics on a vehicle to determine the reason for a MIL activation. The check engine light indicates the potential presence of an immediate or severe problem and should not be confused with other dashboard indicators, such as the low oil pressure or battery charging system indicator.
Owners may be able to diagnose the reason for a check engine light by using a special device known as a code reader. Ignoring a flashing MIL increases the chances of additional mechanic problems that may include damaging expensive components such as the catalytic converter. Respond to a check engine light promptly, even if the vehicle seems to be performing normally. A check engine light can result in an automatic inspection failure in areas where vehicles must pass strict emissions tests.Learn more about Car Parts & Maintenance

2 Kittens Looking for a Good Home (Izmir)
A few weeks ago I found two kittens in our garden, both abandoned by their mother. The kittens were very small, weak and sick and had severe eye infections. After a trip to the vet, and a few weeks of lots of food and love, both are wonderful, happy, playful, sweet and healthy kittens. I already have 5 cats of my own and so can't keep them, but I'd love to place these two creatures with a loving family who will cherish them and treat them right.
If you are interested in meeting them or taking them home, please send me a message. I'm happy to send photos of them via email.

What happens when the school bus stops coming?
Students with disabilities and their families often wonder what life will be like after graduation, and what supports will be available when school services end.
Transition planning is a process that's designed to answer these questions. There are federal and state requirements for schools and ARD committees to address transition for students with disabilities, including:
In Texas, a student's IEP must address transition by their 14th birthday (TEC §29.011). This website provides resources for schools to understand and implement effective transition planning practices.

No. 22 Butler Downs No. 13 Ohio State, 73-66
Dec. 12, 2009
INDIANAPOLIS (AP) -Gordon Hayward scored 24 points, and No. 22 Butler beat a ranked team for the first time in four tries this season, holding off No. 13 Ohio State 74-66 on Saturday.
Willie Veasley had 15 points and 10 rebounds for the Bulldogs (7-3), who had lost to Minnesota, Clemson and Georgetown this season.
William Buford scored 20 points and David Lighty added 17 for the Buckeyes (7-2), who played for the first time without scoring and rebounding leader Evan Turner, who was averaging a double-double this season. He fractured his lower back when he hit the court on a dunk attempt on Dec. 5.
Butler led by 17 point in the final 5 minutes, but Ohio State used a fullcourt press to get back into the game. A layup by Jon Diebler cut Butler's lead to 69-66 with 46 seconds to play, but the Buckeyes got no closer.
Hayward scored nine points in the first 9 minutes, including two 3-pointers against Ohio State's zone, to give the Bulldogs a 21-10 lead. A layup by Howard made it 28-18 and Ohio State responded with a 16-0 run to take a 34-28 lead. The Buckeyes held the Bulldogs scoreless for nearly 7 minutes.
Butler finally rallied, and a layup by Howard with 3 seconds left in the first half cut Ohio State's lead to 36-34. Hayward scored 15 points in the half.
The lead changed hands several times early in the second half before Butler gained control. A putback by Hayward capped a 15-0 run during which the Bulldogs held the Buckeyes scoreless for 7 minutes to take a 67-50 lead with 4:37 left.
Butler led 71-66 with 21.7 seconds left and Ohio State had one more chance to draw closer, but Dallas Lauderdale missed two free throws. Butler rebounded, and Veasley made two free throws with 17.1 seconds left.

our third anniversary came and went with little fuss. we celebrated in our own favorite way - T brought me flowers, and i cooked him dinner (classic meat and potatoes - very rare treat in our mostly vegetarian house).
it was sweet, low key, and perfect!
i have known T for over ten years now, and while 5 of those years were spent in different states (and even different continents!), it has been the most amazing journey.
we met when i was 17 years old, at summer camp! T was working in the kitchen, and i was a counselor in training. it took us all summer to even start talking, although absolutely everybody else knew about the enormous crushes we had on each other. we spent several months writing letters and emails, which eventually turned into phone calls, which eventually turned into visits. he came to California, i went to Illinois. he came to England, i went to Portland.
eventually we got married...
Have a Lovely Weekend.

Papyrus Australia Makes Banana Paper
Papyrus Australia has developed a technology that turns banana waste into paper. Banana trees produce fruit once year, and are then cut down, so banana fiber is an abundant waste product. Papyrus makes the banana paper using an economical process that uses no chemicals, no water, and about 1% of the energy conventionally used. The company is preparing to tap into what it believes is a potential multi-industry global empire. Others have produced paper with banana fiber content, like Costra Rica Natural, but their paper only contains 5% banana fiber.The founder of Papyrus Australia, Ramy Azer, learnt the ancient technique of developing paper from papyrus reeds in his native Egypt. Azer says: "What has caught the eye of international markets is not banana papers' ingredients, but its versatility. It is waterproof and believed to be up to 3,000 times stronger than wood-pulp paper, meaning it can be used in packaging and even as a basis for building materials. Wallets, hats, bags, clothes and even furniture are also in the pipeline."

You have always lived here – in your imagination.
The Tuli Block in south-east Botswana, home to Limpopo-Lipadi, is Botswana's secret gem. Although not yet as well-known as the spectacular Okavango Delta, it is surely primed for excellent tourism growth due to its unique landscapes, varied wildlife, Limpopo riverside positioning and proximity to South Africa. It consists mainly of privately owned game farms offering safari tourism. The eastern section has been declared a game reserve, known as the Northern Tuli Game Reserve.
The Tuli Block has a rich and interesting history that explains amongst other things why this unique strip of land exists as game reserve land and why the Botswana government has permitted the land to be owned privately, unlike most of Botswana.
For tens of thousands of years the area was inhabited exclusively by the Bushman or San who roamed the endless plains, living solely off the land. Glimpses in to their lives can be seen through their rock art and cave paintings, which can still be seen around the Tuli area.
The bushman lifestyle remained unhindered for a long period up until 2000 years ago when they were uprooted by the aggressive ways of the Iron Age settlers, whose arrival dramatically altered the cultural landscape of the region. These traders were skilled iron craftsmen and made pottery specifically for trade and thus established vibrant commercial villages, forcing previous traditional settlers off the land. They created large trading communities between neighbouring tribes and regions – a situation which lasted for many years.
Slowly the climate shifted from being warm and perfect for crop cultivation to a colder dryer era forcing inhabitants to move away. Between 700 AD and 900 AD the region once again became inhabited by a group known as the Zhizo. With the arrival of this group came the emergence of a class structure whereby a man was the head of the household and the amount of cattle he possessed was the primary indicator of wealth.
The region flourished for almost 200 years until political turmoil lead to its demise just as the climate began improving.
This was followed by the arrival of the European settlers, of which the Portuguese were the first, who had a profound effect on the kingdom – they arrived with guns, which inevitably changed the scale of warfare. A civil war in the Khame territory forced the Khame people to move further west into the Limpopo Valley where they soon became well established.
By the late nineteenth century eastern Tuli became central to a number of disputes between two powerful African chiefs, resulting in many confrontations. Although the area was rather inhospitable due to dense bush, rocky outcrops and swamps with dangerous insects and animals, it was still in demand by all.
President Kruger of the Transvaal (South Africa) seized the opportunity to stir up strife between the two chiefs in order to aid the ambitions of the South African farmers (Boere) living in the north of the Limpopo Valley.
The land was finally awarded to Chief Khama III, who ceded the area to the British South Africa Company (BSAC) (a mining company set up by Cecil John Rhodes). His object was to make the thin strip of rocky terrain a buffer against incursions by the Boere, a strategy that worked despite a few attempted invasions and skirmishes with the Boere.
The strategy was also to keep the cattle owned by locals separate from those owned by Europeans. Rhodes, on the other hand, wanted to build his Cape to Cairo through this land. The relationship between Rhodes and Kruger continually declined due to their history of disagreeing over the use of the land, trade disputes and general mutual distrust.
By the end of the 19th century Kruger had declared war on Britain, which started the bitter Anglo-Boer war. The war eventually ended when the Boere could no longer cope with the British resistance, coupled with ongoing disease, which was killing off horses and men.
Rhodes soon discovered that the terrain across several rivers, gorges and rocky outcrops was totally unsuitable for building a railway so he shifted the line to today's route, which runs almost parallel but across the flat plains further to the west.
The BSAC built Fort Tuli to protect its land and cattle, but otherwise found little economic use for the Tuli Block. Hopes of finding gold in the area were quickly dashed. So a decade later the company sold off its land to private commercial farmers.
The farmers too soon found that the rugged, rocky terrain, with its rivers prone to flash floods, was unsuitable for anything but sparse livestock farming and hunting. The hunting was conducted more as a sport as opposed to a serious business concern, also due to the ruggedness of the area. People eventually became concerned about the depletion of the wildlife and so came about the birth of a more conservation- minded landowner, with photographic tourism playing an increasingly important role.
The gradual evolution to photographic tourism has been happening ever since. Limpopo-Lipadi is part of the evolution.

Little River is only a few minutes south of Mendocino Village, with all the charm and none of the crowds. Come explore the quieter side of Mendocino.
Where to Stay in Little River
Little River is best known for its warm hospitality, wide-open spaces and majestic natural beauty. The old-fashioned, small town atmosphere of this picturesque seaside respite may be the perfect relief you seek from the stresses of the hectic pace of our modern world.
If your sport is golf or tennis, then Little River is for you! The Little River Inn features a 9 hole challenging regulation par 5 golf course, a tennis facility and day spa. If you're not hooked on golf yet, this is a great course to start on and the ocean views are stunning from the final hole!
Things to Do in Little River
VAN DAMME State Park
consists of 1,831 acres of beach and redwood forests. The beach is popular with divers and kayakers, while ten miles of trails along the fern-carpeted canyon of Little River is perfect for strolling and bicycling. The start of the trail is a paved road and wheelchair and baby stroller accessible.
Enjoy an easy stroll through Fern Canyon, flourishing with lush ferns, flowing streams and towering redwoods in
VAN DAMME State Park
. It's easy to go back in time and relax in these beautiful surroundings. Get away from it all, while enjoying one of the most beautiful parts of the world just moments away from your room at the inn.
Places to Dine in Little River
During the 1860s a Flemish couple, the Van Dammes, settled in Little River. The husband worked at the mill, and with his wife raised a family. One of their sons, Charles, later moved down to the San Francisco Bay Area to work as an operator on the San Rafael/Richmond Ferry. Charles worked and saved and frequently found himself fondly reminiscing about his favorite picnic spot on the beach. Eventually he returned to purchase 40 acres of his childhood's playground at the beach. Upon his death, he deeded the land to the State for public use, and this generous deed became the foundation for Van Damme State Park.
Another unusual and interesting State Park awaits you, just turn East on Little River - Airport Road and follow the signs to the
Pygmy Forest
. The nutrient-poor, highly acidic clay hardpan soil is relatively inhospitable. As a result, the trees are dwarfed, some mature trees are barely waist-high even though they are hundreds of years old just like the towering redwoods in the middle of the park.
Little River's Restaurants are amongst the best restaurants on the Mendocino Coast! Equally praised by food critics and locals that love good food.

IHTM: I Tried a Skincare Product That Jacked Up My Skin Barrier So Here's How I Handled It
I basically called my mom for help. Except when I say mom, I mean an esthetician.
Look, there's nothing I love more than a party. Well, I used to, before I became a hermit. But before that, I was all about those crisp nights out when I was barely 21, squeezing in and out of bars in downtown Albuquerque, dressing it up and drenching it down in perfume.
Remember those nights? Remember really giving a crap? Remember taking a shower every day? Why am I listening to Phil Collins and crying right now?
Oh, because of lost youth. Right. And it's been an emotional month.
So, that's the moment Ed Hardy is looking for with this new fragrance, Love Is…: a really great night out. And you're young, GOD YOU'RE SO YOUNG! And all your internal organs are like, Yes! Let's do this; we can handle it! And you don't even get hangovers, but you probably say you do because you don't know any better! And you're off with your best friends, and you're downing lemon drop shots and dancing on tables and doing all that nonsense that people like to ridicule but everyone has done it and it. is. a blast.
That's Love Is... to a T. It's that part of the night when everything is fun, perfect and just a little hazy.
And that's the saving grace here--that Ed Hardy, a brand whose reputation precedes it, has tapped into that moment of youth where you are bubbling over with sexual energy, you look good, you feel even better, and you're probably going to go to Pound Town with a gentleman or lady of your choosing. It is all very romantic and delightful, very exciting.
However, and before I get too carried away, I do have to mention that the actual perfume is extraordinarily sweet. It is saccharine, cavity-inducing, crazy-sweet. The notes include apple, blackberry, raspberry and vanilla. It actually reminds me of Strawberry Orbit gum. There is nothing to ground it; despite "blackberry" being followed by "musk," this scent is stereotypically sugary. Take from that what you will (I can see "baby prostitute" in the comments already).
The highlight of this fragrance is actually the texture--first of all, you should shake before applying, so the rosy parts mix with the clear parts--but it feels like a dry oil on the skin, very smooth.
Another plus, should you choose to accept this as your new favorite fragrance: a couple of spritzes does the trick and clings for what seems like an eternity. I washed dishes and made huevos rancheros, then I cleaned the bathroom, including scrubbing the tub, sink and toilet, and I still smelled extremely fruity and fertile afterward. I suppose it will find a way to linger on someone's sheets, which seems like something Ed Hardy would approve of.
There is also a men's fragrance, also called Love Is... and it is some bro potion if I ever smelled one. Same dry oil texture and a little bit reminiscent of '80s bug spray (I'm actually having flashbacks of Girl Scout Camp which includes bug spray, plastic tackle boxes, and dirt-caked grass). The actual notes include mint, sandalwood, vetiver, amber and musk.
I've mixed both fragrances together on my wrists at this point, and it will eventually lure a gaggle of anthropomorphized tribal tattoos straight to my apartment, like that scene in "Thriller" where they break into the house, but instead of zombies, it's Ed Hardy fans. And that's cool; they seem like the type to bring their own Bacardi and share.
What fragrances remind you of the wildest nights of your youth? Are you into super-sweet scents?
