CLARA, IRELAND Situated an hours drive due West of Dublin, Nut Shed Studios may be a relative newcomer to the ranks of Irelands most in-demand studios, but for owner Joe Egan its the culmination of a vision thats put them top of the list for many of Irelands premier bands.
For Joe, owning the perfect studio has always been the dream so much so that he has spared no expense in making Nut Shed Studios the best recording facility in Ireland, and together with Paul Brewer of Audio Warehouse theyve done whatever it takes to deliver results that are second to none. We've spent over £20k on cabling alone. Our goal here is nothing short of pristine audio.
And with the recent delivery of a 48-channel Solid State Logic Duality making Nut Shed the first Duality-equipped studio in Ireland the final piece of the jigsaw has now been slotted into place, as Joe reveals
Id always wanted a proper studio a place where I didnt feel Id be making compromises, either technically or musically. I guess thats every studio owners dream, right? But with the arrival of the Solid State Logic Duality weve been lucky enough to realise that dream.
We felt we wanted to build a studio that not only offered the industry standard in equipment, but also offered great sounding rooms. Mix that with the Irish countryside and you have a potent combination to bring out the very best in musicians.
The Dualitys greatest value to our work is in mixing, and I don't mean just its sonic qualities. We've consciously placed our Pro Tools monitors to one side in an attempt to separate the 'technical' from the 'musical' in the mix process. Now mixing has become less of a left-brain dominant process that it can easily become when mixing in-the-box with the mouse.
With Duality, I felt that it was my ultimate Console goal. Now I sleep well in the knowledge that I finally have a studio that sounds great and should leave none of our clients wanting.
Nearly everyone whos worked at Nut Shed has rebooked at least once, and a lot of the engineers in the country agree that if Ireland is to compete on the international stage then it needs facilities to produce recordings that are as good as if not better than what pro studios abroad can offer.
Its early days for us with the SSL as the hub of operations, but we already have the next couple of months booked out. And with the facilities we have here now not to mention the residential aspect to the studio we've also been getting interest from people based outside Ireland.
The Duality has quickly become the central component in what we consider to be the finest bespoke studio in Ireland. Yes, we have outboard here, but were increasingly using the pres and the dynamics on the Duality especially on kicks!
Paul, concludes. Ultimately we choose Duality because it just doesnt have any real competition out there.

Date: 19th September 2013
Worthing and Adur Councils, an innovative and groundbreaking public sector collaboration in the South East of England, has selected Keysource to develop an advanced Data Centre Infrastructure Management (DCIM) solution that will deliver operational savings and efficiencies. Under the agreement, Keysource will implement an industry-leading software solution that will provide a centralised platform to better monitor and manage the council partnership's facilities and technology infrastructures across multiple data centre locations.
The integrated monitoring approach will provide complete, real-time visibility of all mechanical and electrical (M&E) and technology (IT) equipment, supporting the ongoing consolidation of the data centre network and enabling the drive towards virtualisation. DCIM will replace inefficient, manual processes to achieve significant time savings and help highlight areas of underperformance within the data centre infrastructure.
In particular, capacity planning and IT impact analysis functionality will allow Worthing and Adur Councils' dedicated team to understand the effect of planned actions and deployments before they are applied. This will ensure a greater understanding of potential changes to power usage, availability and risk as well as help identify the optimum locations for IT equipment.
Mike Gawley, IT Manager at Worthing and Adur Councils commented: "Keysource has delivered a powerful DCIM software solution for the ongoing management of our data centres and server rooms including asset management, capacity management and predictive IT impact analysis. This will provide a key enabler for optimising the performance of our facilities, unlocking the full potential of our infrastructure and helping to achieve our business goals."
Rob Elder, Director of Keysource said: "The implementation of an effective DCIM solution provides a single platform for real-time monitoring and management of all interdependent systems and assets, delivering a range of business and operational benefits. This is particularly relevant for the public sector where many organisations are having to meet increased demand for services with a smaller budget and the challenge of managing a mixture of new and legacy technologies and facilities."

This is a great recipe, you can make one large quiche for a family lunch or multiple mini quiche for a snack or cocktail party… AND it freezes really well (always handy when you need a quick and easy dinner!). We made a couple of batches over a few weekends and froze them before our Christmas party; it made the day so much easier (just defrost for a bit then reheat at 180°C for approximately 10 minutes)
Quiche Recipe Ingredients
- Short crust pastry (you can either use shop bought pastry – you will need one sheet for a 24cm pie plate or 4 sheets joined together for 24 mini quiche – or use one quantity of the pastry from the Lemon Tart recipe rolled out to 5mm thick – see this page)
- 4 eggs
- 300ml pure cream
- Salt & pepper
Quiche Recipe Method
If making mini quiche, grease 2 x 12 hole muffin tins. Cut out pastry rounds to fit the tins and line tins with the pastry. Bake in a 200°C oven for 5-10 minutes until pastry is lightly golden brown. If making one large quiche, grease a 24cm pie plate and line with the pastry, trim excess pastry by running a sharp knife against the edge of the pie plate. Lay a piece of non stick baking paper over the pastry and fill with rice or weights. Bake in a 200°C oven for 10-15 minutes then remove the rice or weights and baking paper and return to the oven for a further 5 minutes until lightly golden brown (this process is called blind baking).
In a jug with a pouring spout whisk the eggs with a pinch of salt and a couple of good grinds of pepper until well beaten. Add the cream and whisk well until thoroughly combined.
Sprinkle the filling (see filling recipes below) evenly across the base of the blind baked pastry then pour in the egg mixture. Turn down the oven to 160°. Bake the mini quiche for approximately 10-15 minutes, or the large quiche for approximately 20-30 minutes until set (but still slightly wobbly in the centre). Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly. Serve warm with a green salad, or allow to cool completely and place in a zip lock bag in the freezer.
Pumpkin, Spinach & Fetta Filling for Quiche Ingredients
- 1/2 small butternut pumpkin
- 3 large handfuls baby spinach
- 100g Danish fetta, crumbled
Pumpkin, Spinach & Fetta Filling for Quiche Method
Cut the pumpkin into dice (small dice for the mini quiche – 1cm x 1cm, or larger dice for the large quiche – 2cm x 2cm). Heat a large frying pan over medium heat with a good glug of olive oil. Lightly fry the pumpkin in the oil until soft and slightly golden brown. Turn up the heat; add the spinach and wilt slightly. Sprinkle the filling across the pastry, then top with the crumbled fetta.
Leek & Bacon Filling for Quiche Ingredients
- 4 rashers bacon
- 1 large leek
Leek & Bacon Filling for Quiche Method
Cut the bacon into dice (small dice for the mini quiche – 1cm x 1cm, or larger for the large quiche – 2cm x 2cm). Split the leek in half length ways. Wash the tops (dark green end) under running water to remove the dirt and grit. Finely chop the leek. Heat a large frying pan over medium heat with a good glug of olive oil. Lightly fry the bacon in the oil until golden brown then add the leek and cook until soft.

Al Sharpton challenged Newt Gingrich to meet him to discuss his controversial comments about blacks and food stamps, and poor children working as janitors.
The Hill reported that a man in South Carolina questioned Gingrich on his comments, and challenged him to meet with Al Sharpton. Gingrich said he would be "glad to do it."
On Saturday, Sharpton said that he hadn't heard from the GOP candidate yet, but that he was looking forward to the opportunity and that he would even travel to meet him wherever he was. He said, "We'll meet him anywhere, any time."
Sharpton was speaking to fellow MSNBC hosts analyzing the South Carolina primary. "I want him to answer this whole question about blacks and food stamps when clearly that is not the case that we in the black community are synonymous with food stamps, how the president is the 'food stamp president,'" he said.
The MSNBC host also alleged that Gingrich only used racially-charged rhetoric to win with white audiences. Gingrich had said that he would urge the black community to demand paychecks, not food stamps. But Sharpton recalled joining Gingrich and President Obama on a tour about education, and said "none of this rhetoric was used" with black audiences. He made similar charges of "racial demagoguery" against Gingrich on Tuesday.
On Saturday, Sharpton asked, "Are we dealing with someone who's just racially insensitive or someone who's cynical, who would use race to play and blacks as backboards to score a shot?"

Sweet Corn and Tortilla Vichyssoise
If you like it, save it!
Save and organize all of the stuff you love in one place.Got it!
If you like something…
Click the heart, it's called favoriting. Favorite the stuff you like.Got it!
Author Notes: I don't really know what to call this soup, so the name above seems as good as any. I was originally planning to make some kind of sweet corn vichyssoise when it occurred to me that a bit of cucumber might go well with it. This got me thinking about gazpacho and the way it uses crusty bread soaked in vinegar. Why not try something similar to that with toasted corn tortillas? So the process for making the soup ends up borrowing from both vichyssoise and gazpacho, while many of the ingredients are Latin American. Whatever you want to call it, the result is smooth, refreshing, sweet, tangy and surprisingly piquant all at once! —jeffreyolsen
Serves: 4
Corn Soup
ears of corn, shucked with cobs reserved
large cucumber
corn tortillas
tablespoons unsalted butter
yellow onions, roughly chopped
tablespoon salt
pinch black pepper
cloves of garlic, roughly chopped
dried chipotle peppers, stems and seeds removed, rehydrated and roughly chopped (if you don't like spice, only use 1!)
tablespoon cumin
pinch cayenne
1 1/4
cups sour cream
tablespoons finely diced cucumber
tablespoons finely diced purple basil (green basil is just as good, I just happened to use purple because I had some around)
tablespoons corn nuts, pulsed to large crumbs (optional; I don't think they're necessary, but they could be a good addition if you prefer a bit more texture)
Corn Tortillas (optional)
cup masa harina
cup water
pinch salt
- Cover the cobs with water in a large saucepan, bring to a boil, cover with lid slightly ajar and simmer gently for one hour.
- Make the corn tortillas. Mix together the masa harina, salt and water in a bowl. If the dough seems too dry, add more water one tablespoon at a time. Set a dry skillet over high heat, line both sides of a tortilla press with plastic and break the dough into four golfball-sized pieces. One at a time, press each ball into a thin disc and cook on the skillet about a minute per side or until toasted and a little bit charred, while covering bowl with a wet dish towel to keep remaining balls of dough from drying out. If you don't have a tortilla press, you could roll them out with a rolling pin between two sheets of plastic and if you just don't feel like being bothered with this, use store-bought tortillas, but be sure to toast them in a dry skillet. They'll work just as well; it's just that in my case I thought of using tortillas after I was already home and had the water boiling, so it was quicker and easier to make them than run out and buy them.
- Arrange remaining mise-en-place while cobs simmer. Chop onions, garlic, hydrate chipotle peppers, etc. Juice lime and purée cucumber. Strain purée to extract liquid and mix with lime juice.
- Tear tortillas into small pieces. Soak in cucumber lime juice for five minutes. Process in a food processor until you have a smooth paste.
- After an hour, remove cobs from simmering water and reserve four cups of remaining "corn stock."
- Melt butter in a large saucepan. Add onions and sweat for about four minutes. Add salt, pepper, garlic and chipotle peppers. After another minute or two, add cumin and corn kernels. Pour in four cups of corn stock and bring to a boil. Cover with lid slightly ajar and simmer gently for half an hour.
- After half an hour, add pinch of cayenne and tortilla, cucumber, lime paste. Turn off flame and stir mixture together.
- Purée mixture in batches, straining into a bowl. By the time you're finished, it will have cooled considerably. Whisk in one cup of cold sour cream and place in refrigerator to continue cooling.
- Once fully chilled, adjust seasoning if necessary and divide between four soup bowls. Place a dollop of sour cream in the center of each bowl, sprinkle with diced cucumber, basil and corn nut crumbs if using. Garnish with a purple basil flower if you're feeling sassy.

Issue #21 'Power' has arrived, you can buy a copy online or visit one of the stockists listed here. "Most…
Here's a question you probably shouldn't ask yourself unless you're prepared for an unsettling answer: which problems facing the modern world do you really, truly care about the most, as measured by how emotionally exercised you get, and how willing you are to take action? Somewhere near the top, for me, is the man who illegally parks his dark blue van outside my apartment building almost every week; he reliably renders me furious, and I never fail to make an online complaint. A little lower down the list comes the recent decision by my fellow Brits to leave the European Union; and below that, terrorist atrocities: appalling as they are, they're so incomprehensible that my main response is bafflement. Below all these comes climate change. Apart from brief flashes of raw sadness at what's happening to the planet, and my complicity in it, the shameful reality is that it generally just isn't a regular cause of motivating emotion.
This probably makes me a bad person, but I'm not a stupid one: I can see that my priorities, judged by the vehemence of my emotions, are precisely upside-down. Like many other people, I'm a walking embodiment of Sayre's Law, coined by the American political scientist Wallace Sayre: when it comes to political disputes (and, he might have added, other societal challenges) intensity of feeling is inversely proportional to what's at stake. We tend to care most about what matters least, and vice versa – a very human flaw, perhaps, but one that may yet bring about our destruction. The problem of humanity's impact on our natural habitat feels too complex to understand; too big for any individual to make a difference; and potentially so catastrophic as to be painful to contemplate. No wonder it's more appealing to pursue my vendetta against Blue Van Guy instead.
This predilection for focusing our energies on precisely the wrong things is nothing new: in his famous letter On the Shortness of Life, the Stoic philosopher Seneca bemoaned his fellow Romans' tendency to fill their lives with pointless busywork, rather than using their short span of time more meaningfully. (Which meant, Seneca argued, using it to do philosophy.) What's different about climate change, psychologically speaking, is the way it triggers an unprecedented combination of our in-built self-sabotaging impulses. As recent research in behavioural economics has shown, we're largely unable to make small sacrifices now to avert major losses later on – and we're much more troubled by threats we can mentally picture (a terrorist planting a bomb, a thief with a gun) than those that are harder to visualise (the systemic ramifications of a one-degree rise in global temperatures, say). Besides, when we do take some selfless action, such as donating to an environmental charity, we become immediately prone to 'moral licensing', the phenomenon whereby the warm inner glow of having done the right thing provides an excuse for doing something that cancels out the benefits, such as eating more meat, or turning up the air conditioning. Some of these cognitive biases have evolutionary justifications: in early human communities, for example, easy-to-picture dangers probably did pose the greatest threat. Now, though, they've become a serious impediment to our safety – one that Daniel Kahneman, the doyen of cognitive bias researchers, has said he's personally pessimistic we'll ever manage to surmount.
Yet perhaps the most interesting and troubling psychological feature of climate change, ironically enough, is how boring it is to so many of us. The filmmaker Randy Olson has called this "the great unmentionable" of the environmental movement, and at first glance it makes little sense: such a severe, planet-wide threat might well terrify us into paralysis, but you'd hardly expect it to seem dull. The truth, though, is that modernity's most pressing problems are frequently among the least interesting – in part because they involve not exciting individual human dramas, which seize our attention and evoke empathy, but complex interconnected systems and endless quantities of data. The global financial meltdown of 2007-8 was of little interest to anyone other than specialists, or those worst affected, until it began to involve TV images of homeowners forced from their dwellings, or fired bankers carrying out boxes of their belongings on to Wall Street.
There are, of course, dramatic human stories unfolding right now as a consequence of the climate crisis – but they tend either to be happening far away, or difficult to attribute definitively to global warming. (Those displaced by flooding and fires in the US, for example, rarely get described as climate refugees.) The conspiratorial thinking of climate denial, by contrast, positively teems with gripping tales of evil scientists scheming in backrooms. These stories may be false – but you can't claim they're not compelling. They are testaments to what the literary scholar Jonathan Gottschall, author of The Storytelling Animal, has called "the vast, witchy power of story in human life". Stories compel us, whether or not they're true; facts may not, even though they are.
Or maybe the feeling of boredom is better explained psychoanalytically, as a defence against emotions we daren't make conscious – a numbing but easier alternative to confronting the horror we're helping to perpetrate? Either way, it's natural enough for climate campaigners to want to shock people out of their listlessness with graphic imagery and dire warnings. But as a widely reported study showed in 2011 – and subsequent research has confirmed – such messages can easily backfire. The more alarming they are, the more likely audiences are to discount them because of the challenge they pose to the 'just world bias', the widely held, if usually unarticulated, assumption that life is generally safe, predictable, and fair. When confronted with evidence that contradicts a deeply-held belief, we're frighteningly skilled at dismissing the evidence, rather than changing the belief. And even if they don't backfire, they risk working too well, inducing a sense of helplessness. That despair can then serve as a defence mechanism: if there's no point in caring about the climate, nor can there be any ethical obligation to do so.
It would be absurd to propose any simple remedy for this predicament. (Who said the existence of a problem entails the existence of a solution anyway?) Personally, though, I've found both solace and motivation in the work of Derrick Jensen, a co-founder of the environmental movement Deep Green Resistance. Jensen keeps fighting in the face of despair, he has written, because he's "in love. With salmon, with trees outside my window, with baby lampreys living in sandy streambottoms… and if you love, you act to defend your beloved. Of course results matter to you, but they don't determine whether or not you make the effort." Though it risks sounding sentimental, thinking in terms of love is actually highly clarifying. Instinctively, we understand what it entails: most of us would condemn a parent who stopped caring for a child simply because the experience was often tedious, or inconvenient, or scary, or because success couldn't be guaranteed. If we claim to love the planet, why should things be any different? "If my love doesn't cause me to protect what I love," as Jensen puts it, "it's not love."
The climate crisis may sometimes bore me, or strike me as hopeless, or fail to make me as viscerally angry as it should (or as Blue Van Guy does). But so what? Virtually everyone already knows the experience of investing time and energy in caring for those you love, regardless of whether, in that very moment, you happen to feel like it. You don't usually do it for some future payoff, or even for the warm inner glow. On the contrary, it's self-justifying. You do it because it's what needs to be done.

I grew up in Farmville and started going to basketball and soccer camps at Hampden-Sydney around the age of 8 years old. It is at that very early stage in my life that I fell in love with everything that is great about Hampden-Sydney. This certainly made my decision on where I would attend college very easy for me. Which reminds me of one of my favorite quotes from Dr. Bortz when he said, "Remember your foundations, your traditions, your honor. In so doing you will be always, always a Hampden-Sydney gentleman."

I was a Boy Scout in middle and high school and began volunteering as an Assistant Scoutmaster and Scoutmaster in graduate school. My involvement has grown to be a long history of giving time and effort to Boy Scouts over the last 43 years. I have led more 50-miler trips on canoes, bicycles, and on foot than you can count, as well as of the usual weekend campouts. Five of the 50-mile hikes were in the Rocky Mountains, including one trip to Glacier National Park. My love of the outdoors and especially of backpacking culminated in the completion of the 2179-mile Appalachian Trail in 2010. I am happy to have been able to use what I love to do while at the same time contributing to building the character, skills, and self-esteem of generations of Boy Scouts. Many of my Scouts have become Eagle Scouts and some are HSC graduates.

In terms of the academics, I think the programs that I'm involved with and the academics across the board are very serious. Nobody's faking anything. Nobody's pretending to educate when they're really not. So I like that a lot. Even though it means a lot of work.

My dad sort of put me on to this school. I think it was probably the rich tradition of what kind of men they create...an honest, hard-working man. I feel like I've learned more in my short time being here than I have through all my high school, middle school, and elementary school put together. I've written more papers and learned more this year than I can even describe.

"I always heard about the brotherhood and how close everyone was but, I've already met some friends that I know are going to be lifelong. It just surprised me how close I could get to all the people here as quickly as I did."

There's a lot of intellectual opportunity here, particularly with research. Being a science major in Physics and Math, the openness for faculty to want you to be a part of their research is something I wouldn't see happening at a larger institution. Being here has given me the opportunity to go to three different large institutions to do research, so I'm pretty grateful for the relationships I've made with the faculty here. Part of that is the one-on-one that we can get with professors here. Had I not gotten that with Dr. Keohane, or Dr. Jayne, or Dr. Hulsizer, they probably would not have come up to me at a larger institution with 200 people or so in a class saying, "Hey, you should take my upper-level," or "Hey, you should think about doing this for the summer." I think with smaller classes, teachers can really spot out the unique qualities in their students, which is very helpful in finding opportunities.

Dr. Marc Hight
"I've had a number of opportunities to leave, yet I'm still here. The primary reason I'm still here is because I'm still very committed to the fundamental mission of the institution, which is educating bright young minds. And I believe, having taught at larger institutions and other small ones that we still do that here. That is, there's an opportunity to educate young minds and to reach them in ways that I don't get if I have a class of 400 or even 150. But it's also the nature of the community, partially because it's isolated, partially because it's small. It enables me to interact and, I think the right word is to push my students both outside of class and inside of class. And as a result, I can do more in the classroom here than I could elsewhere. And that's worth a lot."

Cole Cipriani '18
"I'm glad I'm being stretched in all areas because of this great liberal arts institution. Right now I'm actually on my way to Garnet and Grey Society (Admissions Tour Guide). I love giving back while I'm on campus. To be a Hampden-Sydney man, I think you have to go through all areas of life: the social scene, academics, and of course, when you go out into the community. What's that quote? Forming good men and good citizens. So that really shapes it."
Fredericksburg, VA
Jake Rockenbach '16
"I came here with a 'work hard, play hard' mentality. I definitely had plenty of fun, but I missed my senior Greek Week to present my honors research in San Diego...so I guess 'work hard' won out in the end. But it got me where I wanted to go because I'll be starting at Emory University in the fall to get my Master's in Public Health."

When bosses confronted Neelam Jaswal with the allegations that she had been earning money on the side whilst claiming full sick pay, she replied that she had been doing "God's work".
She was off sick with should pain when her bosses received an anonymous tip off that she was working as a religious radio presenter on Voice Asia, the Nursing and Midwifery Council heard.
"A complaint was also received from a man who identified himself as Mr A, who alleged Neelam was working for the radio station at weekends, while claiming sick pay from the trust and she was earning 'a grand a month'," Heidi Peakman, Deputy Director of Nursing at The Royal Ortheopaedic Hospital, Bristol Road, Birmingham, said.
Jaswal was brought to a meeting to discuss the concerns. "We asked if she was conducting work elsewhere, and she said she was not," Ms Peakman told the panel.
"It was not until we told her we had received a complaint that she was working for the radio station that she made any kind of admission.
"She told us she was working for the radio station as part of her work for her church and said she found the work uplifting as being something good and God's work."
Manager Paul Westwood contacted the station and discovered she was contracted as a presenter at the weekends, and had filled in on week days.
He cross referenced the dates she had signed off sick and discovered she had worked at the radio station while claiming sick pay for 35 days, he said.
The nurse had been absent from work so much during the 2008-2009 financial year that bosses wanted to make her redundant.
"She told us she was too unwell to work on a vast number of occasions," Ms Peakman said. "This meant she was in full pay for carrying out no work when we could have deployed her elsewhere."
"We were actively considering invoking the capability procedure. She didn't at any point tell us she was undertaking work elsewhere."
Jaswal, who did not attend the hearing in central London, quit the hospital to avoid being sacked, which she said might "impact on her job at the radio station".
She was found guilty of dishonestly undertaking paid work while on sick leave from the trust and not declaring she was working elsewhere.
Jaswal also failed to disclose why she left the hospital when applying for a new job with South Birmingham Community Health.
The panel found her fitness to practise impaired by reason of misconduct and ordered her removal from the profession.
NMC panel chairman Stuart Turnock said: "The panel concluded that Ms Jaswal's misconduct displays a significant departure from the standards expected of a registered nurse and that it is fundamentally incompatible with her remaining on the register.
"The panel finds Ms Jaswal's dishonesty to be persistent and repeated with little evidence of insight and that there is a risk of repetition.
"To allow Ms Jaswal to continue practising would undermine public confidence in the profession and in the NMC as a regulatory body."

United Nations Conference on Trade and Development
United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD) was established in 1964 as a permanent conference of the General Assembly of the United Nations. UNCTAD promotes fuller integration of developing countries into the world economy by identifying and analysing constraints to trade. The work aims to help shape current policy debates and thinking on trade and development, with a particular focus on ensuring that domestic policies and international action are mutually supportive in bringing about sustainable development.To fulfil this mandate, UNCTAD carries out three key functions: • It provides a forum for intergovernmental deliberations, supported by discussions with experts and exchanges of experience, aimed at consensus building.• It undertakes research, policy analysis and data collection on issues relevant to trade and development as well as technology, finance and sustainable development. • It provides technical assistance tailored to the specific needs and requirements of developing countries, with special attention to the least developed countries. When appropriate, UNCTAD cooperates with other organizations and donor countries in the delivery of technical assistance. In performing its functions, the secretariat works together with member Governments and interacts with organizations of the United Nations system and regional commissions, as well as with governmental institutions, non-governmental organizations, the private sector, including trade and industry associations, research institutes and universities worldwide.
The Secretary-General of UNCTAD is Dr. Supachai Panitchpakdi (Thailand), who took office on 1 September 2005. Dr. Supachai's term ends in mid-2013. The next Secretary-General is expected to be from the African continent.
The main governing body of UNCTAD is the quadrennial ministerial conferences. The latest - UNCTAD XIII – was held in April 2012 in Doha, Qatar. The main outcome of the Conference was the Doha Mandate, setting out the priorities of work for the next four years.
Between the conferences it is the Trade and Development Board that provides guidance on UNCTAD's work, in particular in the annual regular session, held each year in September. The Board is supported by the Working Party on the programme budget.
The importance of UNCTAD has declined as more and more developing countries become members of the World Trade Organization. In addition, the organization has suffered from internal problems related to transparency, accountability lack of efficiency and effectiveness. The Danish engagement with UNCTAD has been adjusted accordingly.
Main Activities of the
Globalization and Development Strategies • Identify broad trends and prospects in the world economy, such as the recent rise in "South-South" trade • Identify solutions to the economic development challenges of African countries • Analyse the effects on least developed countries of international aid and of other efforts to promote development • Help with the management of developing countries' debtTrade in Goods and Services • Assist developing countries in all aspects of their trade negotiations • Analyse the impact of competition laws and policies on development • Encourage the inclusion of environmental issues, such as climate change and preservation of biodiversity, in trade and development policiesCommodities • Examine the factors influencing commodity markets • Help developing country efforts to achieve sustainable commodity exports • Help commodity-dependent countries diversify their economiesInvestment and Enterprise Development • Analyse trends in foreign direct investment and their impacts on development • Help countries participate in international investment agreements • Advise governments on their investment policies through investment policy reviews, guides, and training • Help with the creation and nurturing of small and medium-sized enterprises • Help countries establish and observe international standards for accountingTrade Logistics and Human Resource Development • Partner with developing countries to address transport and trade facilitation challenges and opportunities• Technical assistance in trade facilitation reforms and customs automation• Cooperation in transit transport systems for landlocked and transit developing countries• Undertake research in maritime and sustainable transport• Legal and regulatory transport related issues• Build training networks and organize training in all areas of international trade, in particular for least developed countries

During a recent class I happened to mention something about grasshopper, and a student wasn't familiar with the reference to the old Kung Fu TV series. I found a portion of the quote on IMDB, as follows (Master PO is an old blind monk, Caine is the young student):
Master Po: [after easily defeating the boy in combat] Ha, ha, never assume because a man has no eyes he cannot see. Close your eyes. What do you hear?
Young Caine: I hear the water, I hear the birds.
Master Po: Do you hear your own heartbeat?
Young Caine: No.
Master Po: Do you hear the grasshopper that is at your feet?
Young Caine: [looking down and seeing the insect] Old man, how is it that you hear these things?
Master Po: Young man, how is it that you do not?
I found a video clip of it on YouTube below, but couldn't easily find the other part, where he is told "when you can take the pebble from my hand, it will be time for you to leave".
[Sorry, Livewritter didn't post the code correctly, here's the link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WCyJRXvPNRo]
I'm neither PO nor Caine (somewhere in between?), I just like the idea that there is a lot to be learned on the journey. For those who prefer more recent references the padawan learner in Star Wars is similar.

Downtown copes with new threat to financial centers
By Elizabeth obrien
It wasnt quite business as usual on Monday, as Downtowners went about their routines amid heightened security in response to terror threats against the Citigroup buildings and the New York Stock Exchange.
But many residents and workers greeted the alert with resolve, saying it would not cause them to change their behavior.
I dont scare that easily, said Jessie MacDonald, 73, a resident of Independence Plaza North in Tribeca who, like many Downtowners, witnessed the events of Sept. 11, 2001.
MacDonald was among those who expressed skepticism about the timing of the latest threats, coming as they did just weeks before the Republican National Convention comes to New York and months before the presidential election.
I guess Im a Michael Moore fan, but I feel a lot of this is politically motivated, said Jim Ballard, who has lived Downtown since 1969.
One block from I.P.N., at the Citigroup building formerly the Travelers Building, known for its bright, red umbrella on the side of its facade on Greenwich St., yellow police tape funneled entering workers into a narrow passageway flanked by two private security guards checking identification outside the building. A worker said that Citigroup employees, who are normally waved past metal detectors after showing ID, had to put their bags through the detectors on Monday. This extra precaution caused a long, unexpected line in the morning, he said.
Several people admitted to some jitters about coming to work.
I was very scared, very apprehensive, but you have to do what you have to do, said a 44-year-old administrative coordinator who declined to give her name. You cant let them win.
Others leaned on fate or faith.
Whatever happens, happens its in Gods hands, said Jason Palumbo, 32, a trading system worker.
Lee Powell Jr., 19, an intern at Citigroup, said building management had held a few evacuation drills in the two months he had been on the job. On Monday, workers were not given the option of taking the day off, several employees said.
The intense security surrounding potential targets might dissuade any terrorists who had been planning to attack them, some said.
The element of surprise is what they go for, and this seems like a big media event, said Keith Bennett, 47, who was visiting from Atlanta and had stopped at Washington Market Park, just south of the Citigroup building. His wife, Cindy, said she would have cancelled or postponed their trip had she known about the terror alerts before they left home.
To augment extra security at the identified terror targets, a new Fire Department rescue squad is protecting Downtown. Rescue Six, which is sharing space with Ladder 20 at 251 Lafayette St. in Soho, was scheduled to debut during the Republican National Convention, but its operations started a few weeks early in response to the latest terror warnings, a F.D.N.Y. spokesperson said. The 25-person company specializes in high-angle and other rescue operations and carries special meters and detectors, the spokesperson said.
Despite these precautions, some decided theyd rather be elsewhere.
Jung Yum Witt, a Battery Park City mother, said she would consider leaving the city permanently if another attack happened.
This is the best place in Manhattan to be a parent, but its not worth it the second time around, said Witt, whose family lived in the neighborhood on Sept. 11, 2001.
Miriam Branham, a Battery Park City nanny, said her employers gave her a cellphone after Sept. 11, 2001. On Monday, they gave her extra cash and a small pocket radio tuned to the news channel 1010 WINS, Branham said. But her employers did not tell her to restrict where she traveled with their 3-year-old child, she added.
Meanwhile, farther Uptown in the West Village, Roberta Lasky said she would avoid Battery Park City and the Citigroup buildings as a precaution. Lasky said she wasnt panicking, but simply preferred to stick closer to home in case anything happened.
Im in my little, peaceful neighborhood and were taking it day by day, said Lasky, who was playing with her two children at the Bleecker St. playground.
Jo Ashton, 34, a West Village resident, said that while she thought the latest threats might be politically motivated, she nonetheless was glad that her husband works in Westchester and not in Midtown, where Citigroup has another building at 53rd St. and Lexington Ave. Ashton, the mother of an 8-month-old boy, said she and her husband had lived in London, where there were terror threats from the Irish Republican Army.
I feel more threatened here, but I feel its just the media, Ashton said.
Most people said they were getting accustomed to the heightened terror alert. Irene Vernadakis, 39, a Battery Park City mother, said that Code Orange had become a fact of life: I guess this is what living in Downtown means these days.

Apps – working independently on your mobile
Most of us are familiar with installing apps on our smart phones and also the process of getting these from the relevant app store.
An app is a standalone program that can hold data locally on your smart-phone as well as call the host system to refresh data at certain points depending on the design.
This often means that apps can hold only a subset of data and need to sync with the central system and this works particularly well when working on individual tasks planned in advance.
Since they operate on mobile devices for the end-user it is important to have a simple to use interface with large bold text and a clear flow of functions to enable completion without instruction.
HTML5 web client – giving full online access to your data
A mobile web client (using HTML5) is much like an app in that it can be added to your 'home Screen' on your phone appearing alongside apps and when run can look and feel very much like you are using an app.
There are some subtle but key differences since a mobile web client is in effect a web page in the mobile's browser providing real-time information directly from the remote system of the service you are accessing. If this system is your central collaboration platform you potentially have a vast amount of information you can search for and gain access to.
For the end user a mobile web client provides the same benefits as an app with a visual interface and usability on a range of devices. The difference being that you have online access to a very large amount of data on the central system and the latest versions.
Accessing data on site – what to consider
Mobile access to data in field and mobile capturing of data may exist in a number of forms. There may be a mobile app which is downloaded onto your phone or tablet and has a corresponding server side accessed via your laptop or desktop. This is how the stand alone apps in construction work.
Both sides are kept up to date by synchronisation.
There are also mobile clients of the collaboration platforms. Accessing these through a mobile device does not employ a separate mobile app but rather access is through a web browser which is opened on the smartphone or tablet.
The advantage of the latter is that since the collaboration platform is the central repository of all drawings and documents and the "one source of the truth" for those who use such systems, you can have access to all of this authoritative data depending on the design of the mobile client. You could for example depending on the design and your permissions, access the latest revision of a drawing but also if necessary see the previous one or see other nearby systems also.
You could access any document, health, safety, CSCS status, induction, training, SOPs, methods, engineering forms or RFIs.
The issue with mobile apps here however is that you need to either duplicate work to upload of all these resources to the cloud again. For most sizable projects, however, collaboration platforms relying on real-time information exchange will be used. For these projects mobile web clients are a better alternative.

text: Hey everyone, Cranky Old Gamer here and I excited to finally say that a project that has long been on my "to be completed" shelf is finally done. A long while back I started a little conversion project for a Nurgle Daemon Prince, who I named "Lumpy" (for hopefully apparent reasons). Well, he sat in my "needs to be painted pile" for long enough, and I'm happy to say I'm really happy with how he turned out. It didn't take me too long to paint him, and maybe it was just that I was working on other projects. But I got inspired to come back to him. What do you think?

New Starting Date For Quaternary
For practical reasons such boundaries should ideally be made as easy as possible to identify all around the world. The new boundary of 2.6 million years is just that," concluded Gibbard, "hence we are delighted at finally achieving our goal of removing the boundary to this earlier point."
The decision has been made by the International Commission on Stratigraphy (ICS), the authority for geological science which has acted to end decades of controversy by formally declaring when the Quaternary Period, which covers both the ice age and moment early man first started to use tools, began.
"It has long been agreed that the boundary of the Quaternary Period should be placed at the first sign of global climate cooling," said Professor Philip Gibbard. "What we have achieved is the definition of the boundary of the Quaternary to an internationally recognised and fixed point that represents a natural event, the beginning of the ice ages on a global scale." link

If there's an obvious, gung-ho suitor besides the Yankees, that team is laying low.
Prediction: Yankees, eight years, $200 million.
2. Jacoby Ellsbury
He's from Oregon, and the Mariners, who play one state north of Oregon, are desperate to add offense.
Prediction: Seattle, seven years, $133 million.
3. Shin-Soo Choo
With the ever-patient Scott Boras representing him, could he hang around until Alex Rodriguez's suspension is resolved?
Prediction: Yankees, six years, $100 million.
4. Mike Napoli
There aren't many big-market American League teams looking for first base/DH types.
Prediction: Boston, three years, $39 million.
5. Hiroki Kuroda
The possibility always exists he could return to Japan.
Prediction: Yankees, one year, $15 million.
6. Jhonny Peralta
He enjoyed a brief, successful, post-suspension audition in the playoffs.
Prediction: Mets, three years, $36 million.
7. Bartolo Colon
No, you aren't reading the 2003 rankings; he has been better than any current free-agent starter besides Kuroda the prior two seasons.
Prediction: Oakland, one year, $7 million.
8. Jarrod Saltalamacchia
A well-timed breakout season, after years of his hype exceeding his results.
Prediction: Toronto, three years, $27 million.
9. Carlos Beltran
With his first visit to the World Series ending with a loss, he said his priority is to get back there.
Prediction: Philadelphia, two years, $26 million.
10. Brian McCann
The Rangers long have admired him.
Prediction: Texas, five years, $85 million.
11. Masahiro Tanaka
He isn't a free agent in the truest sense, but the Rakuten Golden Eagles are expected to post him.
Prediction: Yankees, five years, $60 million (on top of a $60 million posting fee).
12. Joe Nathan
He inherits Mariano Rivera's title as the most accomplished active closer, and at almost 39, he's still pretty darn good.
Prediction: Detroit, two years, $24 million.
13. Ubaldo Jimenez
One of many young-ish, inconsistent starting pitchers in this group, he rebounded in '13 after two lousy years.
Prediction: Angels, four years, $50 million.
14. Ervin Santana
He loved his time in Kansas City, but bigger markets and higher payrolls beckon.
Prediction: Washington, five years, $65 million.
15. Omar Infante
He's the Yankees' contingency plan in case they can't agree to terms with Cano.
Prediction: Baltimore, three years, $30 million.
16. A.J. Burnett
Hey, maybe he and the Yankees could … nah.
Prediction: Pittsburgh, one year, $11 million.
17. Matt Garza
More bark than bite, yet he'll probably get the most guaranteed money of any pitcher on the market.
Prediction: Toronto, four years, $68 million.
18. Ricky Nolasco
A back-of-the-rotation innings-eater, he helped the Dodgers after joining them in July.
Prediction: Dodgers, four years, $44 million.
19. Kendrys Morales
The Mariners' extending him the qualifying offer definitely will hurt his market value.
Prediction: Seattle, three years, $33 million.
20. Bronson Arroyo
They don't get any more reliable than him, although his age (37 in February) is an impediment.
Prediction: Minnesota, three years, $39 million.
21. Curtis Granderson
While the Yankees qualifying offer will be tempting, he should have suitors if he turns it down.
Prediction: Mets, three years, $36 million.
22. Stephen Drew
Another player whose market will be tempered by the qualifying offer.
Prediction: St. Louis, two years, $25 million.
23. Nelson Cruz
Like Peralta, he accepted his Biogenesis suspension in August rather than let uncertainly linger.
Prediction: Texas, two years, $30 million.
24. Marlon Byrd
The Mets' low-budget find from a year ago is ready to cash in on his revival campaign.
Prediction: Pittsburgh, one year, $8 million.
25. Juan Uribe
Another candidate for the Timing Award, he's probably the best third baseman on the market.
Prediction: White Sox, two years, $14 million.
26. Jason Vargas
An unheralded innings guy like Nolasco, he missed nearly two months in 2013 with a blood clot.
Prediction: Angels, three years, $30 million.
27. Mark Ellis
A very nice two-way second baseman, which is not necessarily an easy commodity to find, although his advanced age (36) will raise a caution flag.
Prediction: Detroit, two years, $10 million.
28. Carlos Ruiz
Signs of life in the second half mean he very likely could stay with the Phillies.
Prediction: Philadelphia, two years, $15 million.
29. Grant Balfour
He put up two excellent years as the A's closer.
Prediction: Colorado, two years, $16 million.
30. Joaquin Benoit
Graduated to closer in '13, and he pitched well enough.
Prediction: Cleveland, two years, $14 million.

The Playwright Project launched last year as an accessible and peripatetic festival that rotated seven plays by Tennessee Williams through seven Toronto neighbourhoods. This year, the focus is on Sam Shepard, America's urban cowboy dramatist. Alex Johnson, the project director, explains the plan that will bring Shepard plays to a Leslieville pub, a café in the Beaches, the basement of a Danforth pizza parlour and four other venues scattered across town.
Why a festival devoted to a single playwright?
To be honest, the format came before the playwright did. Seven companies coming together and rotating their work through different neighbourhoods of Toronto: that was the first idea. It is getting increasingly difficult for somebody on the Danforth, for example, to take five hours, and pay the babysitter and pay the gas and travel all the way downtown to take in something at Canadian Stage. Not that I have anything against Canadian Stage, but to localize it and bring it to them, a little like summer stock Shakespeare. Make it as uncomplicated as possible: you just walk down the street.
So how did you pick the playwright?
We took on Williams because he had a huge body of work that all of our artists, who had different aesthetics, different backgrounds and different resources, could bring [their] imagination to. He fit a very tall bill, with all these crazy requirements and logistics. In our second year – we did not want to be a Tennessee Williams festival – Sam Shepard also fit that bill.
The one other city I know with a one-playwright festival is Winnipeg. The Manitoba Theatre Centre launched BeckettFest in 2001; this year they did Stephen Sondheim. Next year, it's Anton Chekhov…
I did not find out about what was going on in Winnipeg until after we launched. It's on my things-to-do list to reach out to them.
It raises a lot of issues about which playwrights are selected. Why Shepard?
From a producer's standpoint, he's got amazing sex appeal: men being men, and lassoing women on stage. And I also think there is an intellectual sex appeal, too. I am reminded of Leonard Cohen: he marries the sacred and the profane really beautifully. He discusses content that might seem low or crass and brings it dignity and elegance, that treats it like an important part of the human condition we need to discuss.

Back in 2011, I reblogged the above photo from a tumblr called SuperSeventies—and recently the woman in the photo, Ruth Jeans, got in touch with me asking where I got it. I helped her try to track it down to the original posting, but as you all know, that can sometimes be impossible. She isn't upset, just bemused. I asked her if she would tell me more about the photo, and she kindly agreed:
"I worked for 45 years at the Government's Rutherford Appleton Laboratory, here in Oxfordshire, UK…..as an administrative manager, (nothing to do with computers!!).
Early on in my career I was (randomly) stopped in a corridor and asked if I would just come in to a nearby lab so that the scientists could take a photograph of someone operating a new type of computer that they were developing.
Over my career, the picture haunted me by turning up in the strangest places within the Laboratory and included in random internal publications. However when someone drew my attention to your site, I was stunned to discover that it had gone viral! You can imagine my reaction, that having now retired, I'm still finding that it's 'out there'! "
SO COOL. Thank you, Ruth.

After a decade of bleak and expensive wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, there is a repetitive push in the media and public discussion for a new conquest with Iran. The incentive is not only to have more control of the region's oil distribution but also to limit Iran's power as a nuclear threat. Iranians have the power to monkey wrench the flow of oil from the Middle East to the world by laying mines, threatening exports, or possibly closing down the Straight of Hormuz. This is a key point of access for commercial tankers to ship oil abroad. Interfering with this passageway could have a serious effect on oil production, especially for Europe and the United States.
Some credible suspicion that Iran's nuclear program is quietly threatening has given Israel a reason to engage in some aggressive tactics, including the development of their own military weapons. As an ally of the United States, many feel that an Israel based conflict would inevitably involve American military also. Regardless of the politics involved, many regions in the Middle East including Israel are consistently swirling with potential for war while oil is quietly the catalyst for most of it.
Diplomacy and sanctions aside, the nuclear talk is the only sales point needed for neoconservatives and capitalist pundits to start touting the need for another bloody conquest in the Middle East. The bigger picture indicates that control of this massively powerful crossroad of resources makes the United States the major player in controlling India and China for the power to afford prospering industry. While China continues to expand financial prowess over the United States, it makes economic sense to lock down one of the world's most lucrative oil supply lines, especially while there's some kind of conflict already brewing. This is the same drum beat that prefaced the Iraq War where fear of a nuclear threat and the desire for retaliation dragged the US into that quagmire.
Media rarely quotes the figures for our many years invested in the Middle East, but the numbers do say much about our priorities as a country. To date we've spent over 8 billion dollars since 9/11 on enhanced security as well as two wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. The worst kind of loss is without a doubt the over 7,690 of our youngest and most patriotic troops since 2003. Iran is now the desired third chapter in a trilogy of wars not caused by real conflict, but rather an excuse to take what we really need in order to keep America driving on profit.

Rabbit and Vegetable Bake
This post may contain affiliate links. Please read my disclosure policy.
This rabbit and vegetable bake is succulent, healthy and very flavorful. This meal is perfect for special celebrations or holidays, as if looks beautiful and tastes delicious.
I am keeping my word on the Savory Wednesday's promise on Peas & Peonies and I am sharing with you today one of my all time favorite dishes: rabbit and vegetable bake that is healthy, flavorful and loaded with delicious veggies.
Rabbit meat is more common in Eastern Europe, since I moved to the states I found it very difficult to find it. This rabbit and vegetable bake is a traditional meal in our family and I wanted very much to recreate it for my husband. Finally the Whole Foods near us started carrying rabbit meat and I couldn't wait to get some to make my all time favorite rabbit and vegetable bake in my brand new Le Creuset dutch oven. Yes, I finally bit the bullet and got one and so far I am in love with it. In the short time that I own it we already used it for the rabbit and vegetable bake and a few times my husband made pork ribs and potatoes.
This rabbit and vegetable bake is truly great, I learned the recipe from my mom and its the only way I cook rabbit. It turns out delicious all the time, the rabbit meat gets very soft and tender. The bake is done in layers of sautéed veggies and browned rabbit, this way the rabbit meat gets a chance to absorb the juices from the vegetables by being baked into that flavorful natural veggie sauce.
The secret to very tender rabbit meat, is to keep the raw meat in cold water for 24 hours or at least for 12. This will make such a huge difference in the texture of the rabbit. Rubbery and tough rabbit meat is no bueno, we want it to be tender and easy to swallow 🙂
I always make my rabbit and vegetable bake with lots of carrots, they add just the right amount of sweetness to this gorgeous dish. Caramelized sweet onions, sweet bell peppers and some mushrooms are added to the mix as well.
This rabbit and vegetable bake is my husband's favorite dish and we already have plans to recreate it for Christmas. What I also like about it is that you can make a huge batch, that will feed a lot of people, and technically the only active work you do is chop the veggies, sauté them and brown the meat. After that your dutch oven is responsible to cook the rabbit and vegetable bake to pure perfection.
I always add a lot of minced garlic to the rabbit and vegetable bake for some extra savory flavor, and do you see all that sauce? You need a good crusty bread to dip into it, because its so good, you will lick your plate clean!
I highly recommend this rabbit and vegetable bake since its such a healthy, flavorful and easy dish. It looks festive and it tastes delicious! If you can't find rabbit meat at your local store try Whole Foods or a butcher place!
- 2 medium rabbits, cut up (ask your butcher to cut it)
- 6-7 large carrots, chopped into rounds
- 3 large sweet onions, halved and sliced
- 1 sweet bell pepper, halved and sliced
- 7 oz mushrooms (porcini or baby portobello)
- 10 garlic cloves, peeled and minced
- 10 garlic cloves, whole
- 10 fresh or dry bay leaves
- 5 fresh rosemary springs
- 3 tablespoons all purpose flour
- 3 tablespoons salt + more
- 3 tablespoons black pepper
- 1 cup white wine
- 3-4 cups water, boiled and warm
- 1 cup of oil + more
- fresh herbs: chopped parsley
- For this recipe you need a 10 quart baking dish or preferably a dutch oven, best results will be achieved when using a dutch oven.
- One day before, rinse well the rabbit meat under cold water, place the cut up rabbit in a large pot and cover with cold water. Place it in the fridge. In the morning, discard the water, rinse the rabbit and refill the pot with cold water again, add the rabbit and let it sit in the water until ready to start dinner. Preferably the meat must stay in the water for 24 hours, or a minimum of 12 hours.
- Prepare your working station by covering a part of your counter in paper towels, remove the cut up rabbit pieces from the water and place on paper towels to drain. Cover in paper towels as well, we need the rabbit dry. If needed replace the paper towels with dry ones, to absorb the remaining excess of water. Let the rabbit sit covered in paper towels for 30 minutes. Discard the paper towels, and once the rabbit is dry transfer it to a large pot.
- In the meantime, while the rabbit is being drained of excess water, start on the veggie sauté.
- Add ½ cup of oil to a large skillet over medium heat, when the oil is hot add the sliced onions and cook for 7 minutes, until the onions start to look translucent and golden, add the chopped carrots, cook for another 8-10 minutes, stirring as needed. Add the chopped bell pepper, the minced garlic and mushrooms, plus salt and pepper as needed. Cook for another 5-7 minutes and turn off the heat.
- Mix 3 tablespoons of salt, 3 tablespoons of pepper and 3 tablespoons of flour and add them to the rabbit, shake and mix well, for the rabbit to be covered in the flour, salt pepper mix.
- Place a large skillet over medium - high heat and add ½ cup of canola oil, when the oil is hot add the rabbit pieces in one layer to the skillet and cook on each side for 5-7 minutes, until golden brown. Transfer to a dish and repeat with the rest of the rabbit. Add oil to the skillet as needed.
- Once the rabbit has been browned and the veggies sautéed preheat oven to 350F.
- Now you have to layer the rabbit bake in the dutch oven. First bottom layer is a layer of browned rabbit meat, top with a layer of sautéed veggies, 5 garlic cloves and 5 bay leaves. Another layer of rabbit, veggies, 5 garlic cloves and 5 bay leaves.
- Pour 1 cup of wine into the dutch oven over the rabbit and veggies, and 3 cups of water. Now, make sure the bake is not covered in liquid, only use water as much as needed, the water should stay 1 inch down from the top layer. Place 3 rosemary strings on top, cover with the lid and transfer to the heated oven.
- Bake for 1 hour and 20 minutes. Remove from oven, discard the rosemary strings, decorate with fresh chopped herbs, and the remaining fresh rosemary strings.
- Serve and enjoy!

Dallas Truck Accident Attorney
Trucks are a way of life in Texas, although the larger 18-wheeler trucks have the potential to cause severe damage in any motor vehicle accident. The recent oil boom throughout the state has led to increased numbers of trucks on the road, which has resulted in a greater number of accidents each year. If you have been injured in a truck accident, contact a Dallas truck accident attorney as soon as you are able to discuss your options.
Truck Accidents in Texas
In 2012, there were 389 fatal crashes involving a semi-trailer throughout the state, as well as 133 fatal crashes involving a truck (distinguished from "pickup truck"). This is a drastic increase from 2011, which saw only 303 fatal semi-trailer crashes. The Texas Department of Transportation compiles this data in an effort to target the causes of fatal motor vehicle accidents and work to put a stop to these accidents. However, the increase in number of large trucks on the road continues to grow each year and therefore leads to the possibility of more severe accidents. It seems as though nearly every day in a large city like Dallas, a news story breaks involving a crashed truck.
Truck accidents can have many causes and contributing factors, but many have to do with driver fatigue, distraction, or weather circumstances. Truck drivers may think they are driving with the utmost caution, but it can be difficult to maneuver a large 40-ton vehicle. Large trucks are prone to "jack-knifing" and toppling over if a turn is taken too sharply at too high a rate of speed. If you are the unfortunate car on the other side of a truck, you run the risk of being crushed by the truck.
Truck Accident Claims
If you or a loved one have been injured in an 18-wheeler accident, you should contact an experienced Dallas truck accident attorney as soon as you are able. The limitations period on an accident claim begins running the second the injury occurs. Additionally, facts are still fresh in all witness' minds shortly after the accident, and your attorney will be able to better construct a claim if all witnesses can easily recall events.
You are entitled to receive damages for medical expenses, lost wages, future earnings, and pain and suffering from the responsible party. Trucking accidents are often quite severe and can result in years of rehabilitative therapy, and total disruption of your daily life. You should not have to suffer through this time on your own. A truck accident lawyer in Dallas will be able to assist you in fighting for the compensation you deserve.
Contact a Dallas Truck Accident Attorney
The Dallas, Texas truck accident attorney at The Benton Law Firm understand that accidents are not an everyday occurrence and often have life-shattering consequences. Our personal injury attorney will work with you to develop your case strategy and work tirelessly to ensure that you receive the compensation you deserve. You should not be forced to cover your medical expenses and lost wages if you were not the responsible party. Truck drivers are often fatigued while driving multi-state routes and despite all safety precautions, can sometimes cause traumatic accidents. Contact us at (214) 219-4878 today to set up your initial free consultation.

There aren't many professional Mixed Martial Artists at a high-level who possess the experience/knowledge of Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira. The legendary PRIDE/UFC stand-out has fought for more than a decade and beat some of the best in the business.
In this MMATraining Technique of the Day, Nogueira demonstrates how an individual should lock onto a Kimura from half-guard. Ironically, it also happens to be the same move Frank Mir finished him with in December while delivering a broken arm in the process as well.
