Martinez magic will leave Fulham dazzled
Roberto Martinez was never a world beater in his playing days for Wigan or Swansea yet, as the Swans' manager, it seems the Spaniard is heading for the very top.
The 35-year-old has been spectacular in his first two years of management transforming Wales' second city into a haven for free-flowing, stylish football while still managing to achieve impressive results each and every week.
What's more he has done it on a budget more appropriate to the very lowest echelons of the game and there is no better testament to this than the signing of £25,000 hit-man Jason Scotland - a previously unheard of striker plying his trade for St Johnstone.
Scotland tore apart Coca-Cola League One last season, finishing with 29 goals in all competitions, as Swansea dominated a competitive division that included fallen giants Leeds United and Nottingham Forest.
Now, with the FA Cup reaching the business end of things, both Martinez and Scotland have the perfect opportunity to show what they're capable of against Roy Hodgson's Premier League Fulham - a game shown live on ITV1.
The Swans somewhat surprisingly head into the game at the Liberty Stadium as 11/8 favourites despite their opponent's mid-table Premier League status - the Cottagers are 15/8 and a draw is 12/5.
The fact that Swansea are favourites may be seen as a bit shocking given they trail Fulham in status, league position and, most importantly, wealth but under Martinez's management it is virtually impossible to back anything other than a home win.
Fulham's case is not buoyed by their own terrible away form as they have mustered up no victories and just three goals away from Craven Cottage in the Premier League all season and it is hard to see them improving on that in Wales.
It all points towards another happy day for Martinez; however it might not be such a joyous occasion for Jason Scotland as he will no doubt be a marked man by one of the most stringent defences around.
Scotland is a 6/1 shot to score the first goal of the game which looks a little short unless Swansea are given a penalty, but better value can be found with the 8/1 about on loan midfielder Jordi Gomez...another shrewd loan signing by Martinez from Espanyol.
Gomez has managed nine goals in total so far this season and may be given the time and space to add to his tally if Scotland is afforded the respect he deserves from the Cottagers defence.
From what you have already read it may appear that Fulham are without hope but this is certainly not the case!
Andy Johnson and Bobby Zamora have the ability to create chances all day and will give the likes of Garry Monk and Angel Rangel a challenge they are not used to in the lower league, while Simon Davies and Danny Murphy provide the experience that Swansea may be missing.
But as said before you just cannot back against a Swansea win given their superb form and, although it should be close, I can see the home side snatching it by the odd goal - making the 11/2 about 1-0 and 9/1 about 2-1 look appealing.
With a wide range of betting markets available (38 in total) on this game we have all aspects of the game covered and the one price that stands out for me is the 11/8 about zero goals being scored in the first half.
In a game with so much riding on it neither team will want to give anything away too early and while the game should be great on the eye, we may have to wait until the second half for the goals to come.

What To Do When a Family Member Asks You For Money
For many people, these are still very tough times, or others are starting to see the light at the end of the tunnel and are contemplating moving forward, such as buying a house but need money for a down payment. There could be any number of reasons that family will turn to you and ask for a loan.
Do you say yes or no and what are the ramifications? Much is at stake. If things don't go well, not only might you be out of your money, but your relationship will no doubt suffer as well.
Loaning money to family can be complicated. Here's how to handle the request that will likely come, sooner or later.
Ask tough questions
You should ask yourself a few questions. For example, are you close with this family member, are they trustworthy, if they can't pay you back in a reasonable time, how will that affect your finances?
"Being a family means helping out in tough times, but it is important to understand that there are repercussions to loaning family members money, especially if they are unable to pay your back," warns Leslie Tayne, a financial attorney specializing in debt with the Tayne Law Group.
Determine if you're being asked for a loan for a good reason. "Is there a bona fide crisis – a true emergency through no fault of the borrower, they are just in a touch time? If so, chances are likely that you will get the money back," says Mary Kelly, author of Money Smart: How Not to Buy Cat Food When You Don't Have a Cat.
If borrowers are making an investment and need capital, such as buying a house or starting a business, have payments made electronically so they can be tracked by both sides, says Kelly.
What's not acceptable, she says is loaning money for luxury goods such as a television, boat or new phone.
Basically, like in Vegas, "Don't risk more than you can afford to lose. Loaning money to friends or family is a gamble, so never make a loan if it's going to put your own financial situation on the skids," says Gail Cunningham, a spokeswoman for the National Foundation for Credit Counseling.
Think twice about co-signing a loan
"You will be solely responsible for that debt in the event that the debtor fails to pay, which could impact your credit in the short and long term," says Tayne. Instead, consider a regular money loan so you can maintain control over the terms and impact on your credit. If you dare cosign, always maintain control by making sure you are given monthly statements and access to loan information at all times, says Tayne.
Find out if there are possible tax implications
The IRS frowns on loans that charge little or no interest and may require you to pay a gift tax. Before loaning more than $10,000, talk to your tax accountant to ensure you are protected, says Cunningham. If the borrower defaults on the loan, document your attempts at collection so you can write-off the loan, she adds.
Put the agreement in writing
The first thing to do when thinking about lending money to family is to treat it as if it were business, says Tayne. "Put in writing the debt and terms so everyone remains on the same page and nothing is left unknown," she says. Having the agreement in writing should help avoid future issues or conflicts that could potentially ruin a relationship.
Both parties should be willing to have the loan in writing. The contract should spell out your expectation for when the money should be paid back. You can even consider setting up a payment plan that lays out how much you expect them to pay back month in order to pay down the loan. Although this is a personal agreement, treat it like a business agreement, and make sure a clause is established that addresses what will happen should the loan not be paid back, says Tayne.
Assess how the loan impacts others
Like with other big decisions, you surely want to get your spouse or partner's input on giving a loan. Communication could not only save you money, but could save your marriage or relationship. If you and your significant other don't agree on making the loan, it could result in significant stress in your relationship, warns Cunningham.
Then too, say you're providing a loan to one of your children, how will the others feel, like the bank of mom and dad is open for business? Maybe you're lending to Johnny who is responsible, but what if the same could not be said of his brother who may feel like he now has an opening to ask for money too? "Be prepared to deal with the potential strife such a situation could create within the family," says Cunningham.
For sure, families have to look out for one another, but if you hand over money, do so carefully. In the end, you have to take care of your home first.

A vicar from Warnham has written a history book highlighting the unlikely saints who have influenced the church over the past 2,000 years.
The Rev Christopher Loveless, who leads St Margaret's Church, has penned Strange Eventful History: Story of the Saints of the Church of England - narrating the history of the church while focusing on some less well-known heroes of the Christian faith.
"I've always loved stories and the Church of England has a calendar of saints," he said. "There are all those names, but who are they all? There are plenty of books out there, but in my book I was trying to show the people who we don't hear much about."
In the busy life of a parish priest, some might wonder how he fitted in writing a 505-page history book.
He said: "You can always find time to do something you're passionate about.
"I was given a sabbatical by the church about three years ago. It's taken five years to put together.''
He added: "It's been quite exciting finding out about all these people."
He covers every era from Christ's birth through the apostles, martyrs, those who brought Christianity to England and have helped shape the church right up to the 21st century.
Some of the people he brings into the history are John Bosco who set up a school in the 19th century and Irish nun Harriet Monsell who reinvented nunneries in England during Queen Victoria's reign.
Rev Peter Francis, curate and St Mary's, Horsham, writes in his review in the parish magazine: "If you are interested in what happened between the Bible and the present day, in the biographies of great Christians or if you just want to see 248 different ways of what it means to follow Jesus, this is a book worth reading. "
The book is on sale at www.lulu.com priced at £15.

What can a white guy talk about?
While sitting in for Dan Caplis on 630 KHOW's Caplis & Silverman show on Friday, we got on to the issue of drug legalization. (Podcast here.)
I made an argument that went more or less like this:
There have been two government policies which I think have been primarily responsible for the decimation of black society in America: The development of the Welfare State and the War on Drugs. By increasing the profits in the drug trade, the war on drugs has made people living in ghettos believe they can make a living without going to school, creating a large part of a generation of black kids who have doomed themselves to poverty once their drug-selling days are over...and who won't be particularly capable of helping the next generation escape that poverty.
Two of the next three callers to the show were black women, both of whom called to "pick a bone" with me. (Start around 12:30 in the podcast for the first caller and around 17:30 for the next.)
The first tried to make the point that lots of people other than blacks were on welfare.
The second tried to make the point that people other than blacks live in ghettos.
If I remember correctly, one of the callers agreed with me on legalization and the other either didn't agree or didn't say.
They both complained that I was making policy suggestions for the black community without ever having been black. To that I plead no contest. I have never been black.
But what does it say about the future of black America if whites who truly want to make a positive impact can't even talk about policy without blacks looking to nitpick very small and essentially irrelevant parts of the discussion?
Would those women suggest leaving all progress in policy which impacts black communities (and ghettos) to black leaders? How's that working out for them so far?
More broadly, and I'm not saying I expect many or most blacks to see this intuitively, the policies which have kept black people poor for decades (incentives to have kids out of wedlock, the War on Drugs, and the Social Security system) are all supported by politicians and bureaucrats who have, in the case of welfare and entitlements, incentive to keep people dependent on government. The failed War on Drugs is mostly a creation of Republicans, but Democrats are now complicit in not trying to stop it.
I don't think we've had a black Republican in Congress between when J.C. Watts retired in 2003 and when Alan West (FL) and Tim Scott (SC) got elected last year. The Congressional Black Caucus is made up entirely of Democrats.
Again, these people (Democrats, not just black Democrats) have a vested interest in keeping people dependent. They also usually have a very narrow view of what's even possible in economic and social policy since their world view revolves around government being the solution to all problems.
But as Ronald Reagan pointed out, government is the problem.
And now that we have the first (or perhaps second, after Bill Clinton) black president, does anybody think that race relations have improved, or that President Obama has done anything to improve the situation for American blacks? Anything? Is education better? No, Obama killed the DC voucher program that had multiples of applicants for each slot since black parents want the best for their kids just the way any other parent does. Has the War on Drugs been diminished? No, despite promises by Barack Obama early in his administration that they would stop raids on users or growers of marijuana who were in compliance with the relevant state laws.
No, Democrats never do anything that actually helps black America. The best they can do is to stop doing what they've been doing. Since Obama is our Campaigner-in-Chief but not a leader, at least he hasn't done much more harm to blacks.
But am I even allowed to talk about that as a white guy?
If you listen to the first caller mentioned above (Deborah), she calls in to yell at me for not being black and then, nearly yelling, says that the War on Drugs was racist at its beginning...which I thought was one of the points I was making!
Let me make an analogy: Benjamin Netanyahu said that there cannot be peace between Palestinians and Israelis until the Palestinians stop teaching their children to hate Jews. Was it not stunning, for those who didn't ignore it out of their blind rush to support Barack Obama, to hear the rhetoric of Chicago's own hate-preacher, Jeremiah Wright, in whose pews our now-president sat for years?
With that sort of "leadership" in black churches -- and I am not implying that most black churches are full of such hate mongers, but how many do there need to be to have a big impact? -- how are whites and blacks supposed to have an open, forthright discussion?
Those were some extremely frustrating, even if entertaining, moments of radio because the nitpicky negative reaction to my making a point specifically about how public policy can and should be changed for the betterment of black society show a long, rough road ahead for a big segment of our nation's population. Until blacks realize that I don't have to have been black to want better things for them -- just because they're people and Americans -- and until black leaders themselves stop being Jackson- and Sharpton-style race hustlers, it's hard to be optimistic about American blacks achieving the kinds of gains that all Americans are entitled to strive for.

So you all seemed to like Iceland day 1 and that's super exciting to me. For those of you commenting and keeping up with these posts, I was in Iceland in July of this year. That means that right now in Iceland they are in their "period of darkness" where they don't get very much sun. Our time in Iceland was apparently one of the coldest summers they've had in a while, but it was so beautiful out. Anyways, let's get to day two.
On day two we had a picnic breakfast of pastries from Sandholt and made our way to the ferry for a ride to Videy Island. Videy is this little island with a beautiful landscape that offers an incredible view of the city. There are paths all over for nice walks and some times during the year there are horses to ride. Oh and of course, there's another park. It's also home to the Yoko Ono Imagine Peace Tower and this lovely restaurant where just about all of us ordered fish and chips.
After a ton of play time on the island, we spent a lot of time walking around Reykjavik and went out for some sushi at Sushibarinn. The sushi was great and we also ended up getting some incredible beverages. I got an acai berry and kiwi rum daiquiri and B got an elderflower drink. Everything in Iceland is super scrumptious. Sigh. Can you tell I'm hungry now?
Well I hope you guys enjoyed day 2 and that you're looking forward to day 3! Day 3 is coming with a vlog and I can't wait to show it to you.
We shall talk soon!
-Tara Joy ❤

Column: 'Cultural Infrastructure' elevates learning
Published 7:19 am, Sunday, November 24, 2013
Physical infrastructure is highly prized in educational settings. It is critical to the success of our schools. Clean, well developed spaces, with the latest technology, are central to improving our schools. It is a tangible, visible way in which communities can express their support of learning. It provides the opportunity for teachers to teach and for students to learn. However, the quality of instruction is based on the aspects of teaching and learning that are invisible. It is the quality of the relationships that are expressed in the classrooms that impact directly the effectiveness of learning and teaching.
This "Cultural Infrastructure" is what elevates learning. When schools use these factors effectively, achievement happens. Students learn. Relationships that create positive learning environments are the key to achievement. Negative perceptions and poor attitudes destroy the opportunity to learn, no matter how wonderful the facilities may be. Without tending to these factors, there will be no improvement in learning. I want to look at several manifestations of this need for cultural infrastructure.
The first relationship is between the parents and the school. Do parents support the school? The term support implies two things. First, are the parents committed to the importance of school in their lives and the lives of their children? Do they enforce homework first as a primary value in the home? All parents should be required to participate in their child's school. Many students will not doubt resist limitations on their freedom but are parents committed enough to hold true to their value of learning? If parents have high expectations and reinforce those expectations with consequences, learning has a chance. When parents support teachers that give the grades that students deserve, learning has a chance. When parents expect their children to respect the teacher, they are building the infrastructure for success. Secondly, support means that parents have high expectations of the school. They expect excellent teaching and want to reward that excellence. Parents that express their disagreements with the teacher in a professional way, out of the hearing of the student, are moving the process forward. Parents that focus on finding causes of their child's failure, not blaming others for their child's lack of achievement are supporting the learning process.
A second key relationship is the rapport between teacher and student. Learning is a process. That journey requires that students and teachers work in an environment of mutual respect. Law and custom are clear about this relationship. Your teacher is not your friend. There must be common agreement on basics like taking turns, when we speak. Using language that respects our classmates is an essential step toward a positive environment. We must protect the classroom from physical abuse. Each classroom has its unique character based on the personalities in the room. Each person's life experiences affect how they interact in the classroom setting. Teachers must build a connection with the students and the students have an equal responsibility to connect with the teacher. Teachers must be trained to find the common ground with students.
Teachers must be taught to lead students not boss them. There must be mentoring for young teachers, helping them to learn how to choose the right words to communicate clearly with students. We must make sure that we have a diverse group of teachers to teach an increasingly diverse student population. Our best and brightest college students must become teachers. Today, most of our teachers come from the bottom quartile of college students. We must develop classroom structures that provide alternative approaches from which teachers can choose to use in connecting with students.
Another aspect of "Cultural Infrastructure" is the relationship between the teacher and the school leadership. Unfortunately, in many schools, teachers are not trusted to teach students. They have become the equivalent to button pushers. Super structured "teaching" programs for math or reading ask teachers to do exactly the same thing at exactly the same thing in every classroom in the school. These programs have become popular as a response to standardized testing. This situation reduces the status of the teacher to a hired hand not a true professional. Teachers are paid less than other professionals. It makes teaching a less valuable option for our top college graduates.
High achieving countries use another approach. Without exception, these countries pay their teachers on a par with lawyers, doctors, and other professionals. They encourage teachers to develop their own style of teaching. For example, Finland provides scholarships for their teachers that eliminate the need for students to take out loans. What a lure that would be for potential teachers! Teachers could graduate without loans to repay as they start their teaching career. Teachers must have the freedom to teach their students with methods that fit their particular situation and their unique set of students. We should turn teachers loose to build relationships with students and create innovative ways of teaching their students. Each community is different and each classroom is different. Therefore, these one approach fits all students teaching programs, are certainly not going to create innovative thinkers that will develop new technologies for our economy.
I hear people say all the time that 'teaching isn't rocket science" implying that teaching is really not that hard. They are right that teaching is not rocket science. It is much harder. When you deal with students each day, with all the other pressures that society places on the schools, it should demonstrate clearly the difficulty of the teaching process. The chemical reactions that lift a rocket off the ground are predictable. The reaction of a junior high school student is never certain. Moreover, what you say in response can cause an explosion that rivals the explosions that lift that rocket into space.
This cultural infrastructure is where the real battle is to teach students is joined. Too often, we focus on the visible as opposed to the invisible. Let's focus on these vital relationships to assist students in learning more effectively. Teachers, parents, students, and others have a responsibility to do the hard work of creating the "Cultural Infrastructure" for great schools.

|Reviews for Unicorns, Lockets, and Love
| Marlicat chapter 1 . 1/18/2009
I'm sorry, but I need to comment on the ridiculousness of some of this. The story was well written, and enjoyable at some parts, but since when does Cloud say 'dear'?
Also, what kind of idiot would Daine have to be to kiss or be near someone with such a bad character? The strong-willed Daine from Tamora Pierce's books wouldn't have hung around such a person at all- thus, Perin would not be such a cocky jerk.
One more thing- I find it hard to believe that Daine would have any trouble getting away from the immortals she confronted in this story. She can sense immortals in her mind, and would have felt them, noticed they were bad, and went in the opposite direction immediately.
I hope you will take my review into consideration. I do not mean any offense, I merely want to see improved writing from everybody.

Honda Civic Type R Mugen Windermere
South Wirral
Honda Civic Type R Mugen
Provided By:
Meet the crazy Civic that's gunning for Ford's Focus RS! This one-off Type R has been modified by tuning company Mugen, and it's aiming to
put Honda's hot hatch back at the top of the class.
In the past few years, the 198bhp 2.0-litre Type R has been overtaken by ever more powerful rivals, such as the 301bhp Focus RS and 227bhp Renault Mégane R26.R. So the Japanese firm asked Mugen to produce a more powerful concept, with a view to putting the car on sale in limited numbers. And we've driven it!
With expertise that ranges from F1 engines to upgrades for Honda's other road cars, Mugen knows its stuff. For the Civic Type R it has added lightweight body panels, a totally new suspension set-up, sticky tyres and bespoke brakes.
There is also a stripped-out cabin that loses the rear bench completely, gains some extra white dials and replaces the front chairs with low-slung Recaro bucket seats complete with racing harnesses. The 2.0-litre VTEC engine benefits from a fresh ECU, new pistons and camshafts plus a stainless
steel exhaust system. It now produces 237bhp and 213Nm of torque – improvements of 39bhp and 19Nm respectively.
Combined with a weight saving of 105kg, these power increases make a big difference, and the 0-60mph time drops 0.5 seconds to six seconds. Beyond 5,000rpm the Type R becomes as ferocious as a BTCC race car, wailing its way to 8,500rpm and making you glad that the Recaro buckets hold you firmly in place. Thanks to a sharp racing paddle clutch and a slick six-speed gearbox, the only limit on how fast you can change ratio is how quickly you can move your left arm and leg.
Show the Mugen a corner and it gets even better. Grip is incredible, body roll non-existent and the meaty steering full of feel. As with the Mégane R26.R the ride is very firm, and there's plenty of engine and exhaust noise. However, the Mugen Type R is amazing fun on a fast road, and we reckon it would be even better on a track. Only 25 models will be made available for sale next year, and each will cost at least £35,000.
We agree that's a lot of money for a hot hatch – but we don't think Honda will have any trouble finding buyers.
Rival: Mégane R26.R
AS with the Honda, the Mégane is hardcore. It has a super-stiff set-up and no rear seats, but it is brilliant fun on a race track, where you can exploit
its turbocharged engine and engaging handling to the full.

We've got a picture of Gigabyte's upcoming AMD 780G or RS780 chipset based motherboard, the MA78GM-S2H, and we've also got some details on the specifications for you. The board is crammed with features, especially when you consider its fairly small size (it is only a mATX board).
One thing that struck us is how small the heatsink is on the chipset. It is no bigger than those found on motherboards from two or three years ago, and considering that beneath it is possibly the fastet IGP to date, the heat dissipation is really impressive.
The board features HDMI, DVI and a D-sub as well as optical S/PDIF out, 7.1-channel audio, FireWire, four rear USB 2.0 ports and headers for a further eight ports, thanks to the SB700-series Southbridge and, of course, Gigabit Ethernet. It looks like an HTPC dream platform to us.
Add to this a x16 PCIe 2.0 slot, an x1 PCIe slot and two PCI slots, as well as four memory slots and five SATA connectors and you should have a pretty solid upgrade path. Even with a fairly low-end Sempron, this board should handle HD video decoding, as the chipset is supposed to take care of most of the video decoding workload.
Sadly, we won't see this chipset arrive until March, due to AMD needing some more work to tune the Hybrid CrossFire drivers, but at least there should be plenty of boards available on the launch day.

Memory-Linked Wavefront Array Processor
Reference#: P05301
A method for performing computations with an asynchronous linear array of multiple processing stages is disclosed. The linear array comprises multiple processing stages interspersed with flow control flag mechanisms and with dual port linking memories. The method utilizes the flow control flag mechanisms between processing stages to control the flow of computations through the array.
A Memory-Linked Wavefront Array Processor (MWAP) is disclosed which computes a broad range of signal processing and scientific and engineering problems at ultra-high speed. The memory-linked wavefront array processor is an array of identical programmable processing elements linked together by dual-port memory elements that contain a set of special-purpose control flags. All communication in the network is done asynchronously via the linking memory elements, thus providing asynchronous global communication with the processing array. The architecture allows coefficients, intermediate calculations and data used in computations to be stored in the linking elements between processing stages. The novel architecture also allows coefficients, intermediate calculations, and data to be passed between the processing elements in any desired order not restricted by the order data is to be used by the receiving processing element. Further, each processing element is capable of simultaneous arithmetic computation, multi-direction communication, logic discussions, and program control modifications.CONTACT:

Story highlights
- Aubrey Plaza's 'To Do List' character is a 'frisky-minded original'
- The actress plays Brandy, a prim yet outrageous valedictorian
- The movie 'gets major props' from the reviewer for its originality
Brandy Klark (Aubrey Plaza), the prim yet irresistibly outrageous valedictorian at the center of "The To Do List," is the latest in what has become a big-screen tradition of rambunctious, headstrong Girls With a Plan.
Unlike Alicia Silverstone's compulsive do-gooder in "Clueless" (1995), or Emma Stone's how-to-make-a-bad-reputation-work-for-you trickster in "Easy A" (2010), Brandy isn't an updated version of a hallowed literary heroine.
She's a frisky-minded original.
Brandy has gone through high school as an overachiever in everything but life experience. So now that she's graduated, she plans to make up for that by compiling a to-do list that consists of one graphic sexual activity after another. (Sorry, but there's just no analogue for that in Edith Wharton.)
Oral sex (giving and receiving), dry humping, a great many other activities that I can't even print here — Brandy wants to experience them all. And she does.
The joke of "The To Do List" -- and it's a ripe and lively one -- is that Brandy is very much a product of the casually explicit hookup era — but at the same time she's a brainiac who's treating sexual adventure as one more academic pursuit. She's out to earn herself an A-plus in desire, but she's hilariously detached from her own desires.
That sounds like a lot of teenagers. Written and directed by Maggie Carey, "The To Do List" is a variation on the whole guys-out-to-lose-their-virginity plot, and that's the film's originality: It captures how even when sex gets this purposeful, it's in a different way for girls than for boys.
Aubrey Plaza, from "Parks and Recreation," has fierce, dark popping eyes that she uses to make Brandy obsessive, romantic, and angelic. Taking place largely at the pool where Brandy lands a job as a lifeguard, "The To Do List" is a summer-adventure comedy, and its tone is fairly synthetic, yet it gets major props for giving us the first movie heroine who is clueless and easy in such a hardcore way.

Background and contextProgramme
The third East Neuk Festival takes place at the end of June.
Although only in its third year, East Neuk Festival's impact has already been recognised further afield. Earlier this year it won the Audience Development category in the Royal Philharmonic Society Music Awards, presented in partnership with Classic FM. The adjudicators felt that the festival brought 'adventurous and high-quality music-making to an area of Britain poorly served in that respect', and praised it for the way in which its audience has 'grown impressively'.
Top Scottish artists and ensembles such as the Scottish Chamber Orchestra, Mr McFall's Chamber, Allan Neave and Alasdair Tait will appear alongside groups and soloists from Europe like the Alban Berg Quartet and Christian Zacharias, performing music from Baroque to the twentieth century.
In addition to its chamber music programme, East Neuk Festival will this year hold not only its first children's event but also its first cabaret. The programme will also include more traditional music and jazz-inspired work, film and readings.
Readings, talks and discussions are part of the East Neuk Festival programme. Writers appearing at this year's festival include Christopher Rush, Tessa Hadley, Andrew O'Hagan and Richard Holloway.

text: Curls are easier reads and throws for the QB. Outs have the highest % of turning into a pick 6. Slants, while easy, are a bit harder on accuracy as the WR is moving close to full speed (and needs more accuracy) where as a WR stopping and drifting back to the QB is almost stopped or moving very slowly for the QB's throw. Only easier throw is to your check down RB who basically runs a 3-5yd 'curl' in the middle of the field but is even more centered AND is usually stopped. I don't love the play call but it's a very safe play to run and should have been easy to get either a short completion of 5-7yds or a throw away. Locker made a mistake, he's still learning without a full year of starting. It happens. Luck threw some picks last year too. Almost all first year starters do. Gut

This is making me uncomfortable. She's making him out to be a fool.
Arie just reveals how honest he is by saying he has a tattoo of a girl's name. Em is giving him plenty of opportunity to talk about how he once dated Cassie, but Arie is not forthcoming.
Never thought she was into Brad. She is playing games...as is production. Just ask him. I hate the how they are trying to set him up. I think it actually looks worse on them than him. Run Arie, Run. Sean ... You too .. Run for the hills.
I'm getting the feeling he's not even thinking of Cassie during this discussion.
I can see wanting honesty in a relationship, but if he dated this producer years ago, then why the distrust? Almost all of these men have I'm sure dated women in the past..what about their past relationships? Is it because she is a producer?
Good grief. Off-camera and she agrees with Arie that it was no big deal. 20 minutes of stupid-ness.
Much ado about nothing.
Wolf gets the next one on one.

Blue Jays Add Shortstop Richard Urena to International HaulJuly 5, 2012
Not satisfied with signing two of this year's top 10 international prospects, the Toronto Blue Jays have come to terms on a contract with 16-year-old Richard Urena.
The deal was first reported by Ben Nicholson-Smith of mlbtraderumors.com.
Baseball America has Urena ranked No.13 on its list of best international prospects in 2012, while MLB.com has him ranked at No.9.
A Dominican native with excellent defensive skills, Urena is the third top 20 international prospect Toronto has inked to a deal this week. He is also the third international shortstop the team has signed over that period.
On July 2 the Jays acquired Franklin Barreto and Luis Castro, which made them arguably the strongest player in 2012's international market. The signing of Urena only strengthens that position.
Though strange that a team would put all of its international signing money into three players who share the same position, the organization may plan to try each player at various places around the diamond.
Many believe that Barreto's future is at center field, while Castro projects as a corner infielder at the major league level. Urena, by most accounts, should be able to stay at shortstop because of his excellent range and strong glove.
The level of international talent general manger Alex Anthopoulos has managed to draw from Latin America this year only bolsters an already dynamite Blue Jays farm system.
It is clear that Anthopoulos is looking for bats to offset the slew of promising arms that currently populate the Jays minor league affiliates, and the triumvirate of shortstops he has inked this year is a terrific start to that mission.

Royalty in Denmark
The royal house of Denmark was established in the 10th century by a Viking king called Gorm the Old. His son Harald I (Harald Bluetooth), unified Denmark; their successors also came to rule England, Norway, and part of Sweden. This empire split up after the death of King Canute in 1035, but descendants of Gorm the Old continued to reign in Denmark. Today's Danish royal family is descended from the Viking kings.
In 1397, Denmark, Norway, and Sweden formed the Kalmar Union under Margaret I. Born a Danish princess, Margaret had married King Haakon VI of Norway. Although her young relative Eric of Pomerania was the union's official king, it was Margaret who ruled until her death in 1412.
Sweden elected its own king in 1523, but Norway remained united with Denmark until 1814, when Denmark ceded Norway to Sweden. After Norway became independent from Sweden in 1905, its new government offered the crown to Prince Carl, second son of Denmark's future King Frederik VIII. After being approved in a popular vote by the Norwegian people, the prince ascended Norway's throne as King Haakon VII.
Iceland, Greenland, and other islands were also part of the Kalmar Union. Iceland did not end its connection with the Danish monarchy until 1944, when it became a republic. Greenland is still part of the Kingdom of Denmark.
A Danish prince even became the king of Greece. The Greeks deposed their first modern king, Otto of Wittelsbach, in 1862, and chose Prince William of Denmark -- second son of Danish king Christian IX -- as their new king. In October 1863 he took the Greek throne as King George I.
Denmark was neutral in World War I, but the Germans occupied the country during World War II (1940). The popular King Christian X remained in Denmark during the occupation but remained aloof from the Nazis. According to legend, when Nazis ordered all Jews to wear armbands with yellow stars, Christian X defied them by wearing the armband himself. In fact, most Jews in Denmark were never forced to wear armbands; but as the story shows, King Christian's dislike of the Nazis and support for the Jews was well known.
Christian X died in 1947 and was succeeded by his son Frederik IX. After Frederik's death in 1972, the crown passed to his daughter Queen Margrethe II. She still reigns today.
Margrethe married French diplomat Count Henri de Laborde de Monpezat, afterward known as Prince Henrik, the Prince Consort, in 1967. They had two sons, Crown Prince Frederik and Prince Joachim. Prince Henrik died in 2018.
The crown prince, who was born in 1968, married an Australian woman, Mary Donaldson, in May 2004. Their first child, Prince Christian, was born in October 2005. Their second child, a daughter named Isabella, was born in April 2007. In January of 2011, Princess Mary gave birth to twins, Vincent and Josephine.
Crown Prince Frederik's younger brother, Joachim, married Alexandra Manley, a Hong Kong-born British citizen, in 1995. They had two children, Prince Nikolai and Prince Felix. The couple divorced in 2005.
Prince Joachim married a French woman, Marie Cavallier, in May of 2008. She is now known as Her Royal Highness Princess Marie. Their children are Prince Henrik and Princess Athena.

Taxpayers won't be on the hook for an estimated $60 million in cost overruns on construction of the athletes' village for the Vancouver 2010 Olympic Games, a City of Vancouver official said Monday.
The city doesn't think Millennium Development Corp., responsible for the Southeast False Creek and Olympic Village project, will go bankrupt as a result of its reported financial troubles, said Michael Flanagan, the city's director of real estate services.
"The responsibility clearly falls onto the developer," Flanagan said Monday. "It is their responsibility to deal with project overruns, and the city maintains that position."
There are reports the developer is facing cost overruns estimated at $60 million. Flanagan admitted that the project is not on budget, but the progress of construction is on time.
City officials are watching the situation but are not concerned taxpayers will have to foot the cost overruns, he said.
The Work Less Party, a 2010 Olympics watchdog group, said taxpayers could be hammered by a variety of extra costs.
"There's actually a clause in the city's agreement with Millennium that says, if they are behind schedule, the city will provide the resources to hire more people and hire the equipment," spokesman Chris Shaw said.
"If anything goes wrong on this project, and Olympic projects always go over-budget, taxpayers are on the hook for it," he said.
The Southeast False Creek development site comprises 32 hectares of land, seven of which will be temporarily transformed into the Olympic Village during the Games. The village, which will contain 15 to 20 permanent buildings and other temporary structures, will be a residential community but will also include commercial and retail space.
Flanagan said it's Millennium Development's responsibility to address the cost overruns, but he would not discuss what the city will do in the event the developer runs out of money.
The Urban Development Institute of B.C. is raising concern about the uncertainty of Millennium's financial situation.
"The details we hope for what will happen here is that the details of those cost overruns will be dealt with efficiently," said Maureen Enser, the institute's executive director.
"And there was an expectation that the city and Millennium will move forward and come to some formal agreement shortly," she said.
Millennium Development Corp. cannot be reached for comment Monday.

Guest Blog: After Lehman and Stanford, Dealing With a Tainted Resume
Regina Itliong was an executive assistant at Stanford Financial Group before being laid off in March 2009. Previously, Ms. Itliong, 29, worked as client administrator for Neuberger Berman LLC and spent almost four years at HSBC Bank. She graduated from Manhattan College with an undergraduate degree in psychology in 2000. Ms. Itliong lives in West New York, New Jersey.
After losing my position at Neuberger Berman which was under the Lehman Brothers umbrella, I was hired at a small investment bank in October 2008. I was grateful that my Series 7 license was taken on and that my months of study would not go to waste. I accepted an executive assistant role for the investment-banking technology team — relieved like the rest of my newly hired colleagues to find a place to ride out the recession. The feeling was short-lived. The boutique investment bank I joined was Stanford Financial, now splashed with scandal as its owner was accused of running a Ponzi scheme.
With a bankruptcy filing and a scandal within a span of six months, the names on my resume are now working against me and the economy is not looking any better. Before, a license was an advantage but now it's a double-edged sword. The 7 makes me look too ambitious for the position. And why match my salary when there are candidates willing to work for half the price? I joke around comparing myself to Wall Street stock — I am now selling myself cheap.
A handful of interviews were no longer about what skills I could offer the organization but rather what was it like at Neuberger Berman months before our parent company's bankruptcy filing. Or I was asked for an account of what happened to the employees right after the Stanford receivership. In simple words, things were chaotic. We were left with no direction and were hanging for two weeks without a paycheck. I even got interviewed by a hedge fund that took over our office space. A former colleague was mentioned in an article that there was now a stigma on our resumes, while another commented that sometimes you were interviewed out of mere curiosity.
Upon seeing Stanford on my resume, one manager at a real-estate investment firm mentioned that the candidate before me worked in a support role at Madoff Securities. After berating the woman's competency and intelligence, he commented that he would never hire her. If they never wanted to hire her, why did they interview her in the first place? This meeting was obviously taking a nose dive. Since I have two companies that went under on my resume, he asked if I was the cause of their bad luck, a comment that took me aback. It was not the first time I would have to defend myself, reiterating that I was not involved in stealing money. I don't believe employees in their right minds join an organization envisioning their workplace and source of income would dissolve especially in the worst recession.
I chalked it up as just guilty by association. But I was not alone — it was myself and 3,000 of my other colleagues. Through this mass layoff, the Stanford alumni have become a good resource for me to share opinions and encouragement.
Having a tainted resume you have to work twice as hard showcasing your talent so they focus on what you can bring to the table rather than where you came from. I always try to put a positive spin that despite what happened — this is what I learned and here are the additional skills I honed.
As time passes, interviews are becoming easier. Because of the financial meltdown, the majority of interviewers are no longer as judgmental. I never wanted to lose my former position, but the situation is beyond one's control. Like the rest of us support candidates out there, I'm just looking for a job — and the objective of every interview is to get an offer.
Readers, how have you dealt with the stigma of working for previous employers? Share your stories in the comments section.

I respect people who are not afraid to be themselves. I don't like selfish, self-centered folks who think the world revolves around them. I like people who have integrity and respect for others. If I ever find that special someone, he would have accept me for who I am and vice versa.

New ArtStart exhibit leads to new series, opportunities
Submitted: 03/18/2014
- We all hear how art can enhance a community. For ArtStart in Rhinelander, showing that never gets old. The new WisconsinCity exhibit will be a game-changer for the community based museum.It features seven new artists from Milwaukee, Madison and the Fox Valley. Each artist's work uses the theme of urban life. But the exhibit represents a wide variety of art techniques. "Some of it you're going to look and think, "huh?" But, the more you look at it, the more you see. That's what we're going to ask our visitors to the gallery to do," Laura Ehmann, ArtStart Exhibition team. ArtStart volunteers want the art they feature to give smaller communities a taste of big city culture. "Some of it is humorous, some of it is very personal, some of it is just out there, but out there for a reason."They believe that dedication is part of a bigger picture. "We have as much culture and big city things as anywhere else. Part of ArtStart for me, is bringing that here and having everyone get involved with it," said Ehmann. "People who live here get involved, it's like a picture of a wider world, but yet we're doing locally, we're doing it here."ArtStart volunteers believe this exhibit has opened the doors for new opportunities at the museum. This summer, a film and concert series will be hosted by ArtStart. The WisconsinCity exhibit opens March 20 at 11 a.m.There is no cost to enjoy the exhibit.

CCEE1431 I Love Paris
"I Love Paris" has always been a favorite song of mine. I've never been to Paris (Sabrina's favorite place), but I don't necessarily think that's a requirement. I hope you like my card, and that you will join us this week!

Folks can bring up a various numbers of dictators who justified their greeds, but each one wasn't for the good for their people overall.
Not to envoke Godwin's Law, but just take Hitler for example. He had a vision of a "Thousand year reich". He had an idea of what he thought was right. But both flies in the face of universal truths of "do no harm". He executed his own people for simply being different or disagreeing with his policies. Just disagreeing or being different isn't justified for killing (or in this case murder). No matter how he could justified his aims, he was morally bankrupt after violating the universal morals/truths.
Those universal morals/truths defy even dictators, because they must harm and control those morals/truths to not be a pariah of society itself (and society getting rid of that pariah for preservation).

Re: Re: Do you think my flight arrives too late?
Fortunately we have never been inconvienced by not getting to the ship on time but we have been witness to others less fortunate. On a cruise from Vancouver to Hawaii approximately 70 passengers coming from the Chicago area were delayed getting into Seattle because of weather and missed the departure. And they couldn't get on at the next port because that was five days later in Hawaii. After this incident my husband and I vowed that we would always fly in at least one day ahead of time. On our last cruise to Alaska quite a few passengers experienced flight delays. Two ladies at our table made it to the ship on time but their luggage didn't. It was delivered to them at the next port which was two days later so had no formal clothes for the first formal night. They were so stressed out onboard the first night from the the worry of not making it to the ship on time that I really felt sorry them. What a way to start off your vacation.
We were in Portugal last week and flew into Lisbon via Amsterdam. When arriving at the Lisbon airport we were advised that many pieces of luggage did not make the flight. My husband had witnessed large bags of postal mail being loaded onto the plane in Amsterdam so we are guessing that our luggage got bumped by the mail (due to weight restrictions). So unless you're flying direct there is always that worry as well.
Plus if you get to the ship early and can sit around the pool if the weather is warm, have a drink, etc., it makes it seem like you have an extra day on the ship.

Bless brings together RPG games with multiplayer action as players are put to the test after choosing a faction to fight for in the free-to-play game.
The world in the free-to-play RPG Bless is full to the brim with diverse and varied people and cultures, however war has plunged the continent into a state of darkness, and it's up to you to restore peace and tranquility to the world. The open war between the Hiero and the Union factions have brought the world of Bless to the brink of destruction, and only the bravest of heroes can save the people from eternal darkness. The RPG features a vibrant world with nearly limitless character possibilities. When you put all of this together with the massive battles and music from Hanz Zimmer, you have an awesome world to explore.
It doesn't matter what type of playstyle you prefer, there is always a character for you in Bless. The character creation and customization options are vast; with ten races and eight classes there is a combination to suit anyone. On top of this, the race and class that you choose will determine your destiny as you journey through the world in Bless. Some of the creatures will be friendly, and some foes based on the race that you choose. The possibilities are almost unlimited in Bless, with the story taking a unique turn at every corner.
There are two things about Bless that stand out as being different from other similar games in the RPG genre. Not only is it possible to fight in small scale skirmishes, you can team up with other players and take part in massive battles and castle sieges. Grab a bunch of friends and storm the keep of enemy castles in search of hefty rewards, although your best tactics and strategies will be needed, as the enemy can use secret traps and magic to fend off any attackers. On top of all of this, the musical score was composed by none other than Hans Zimmer, who is responsible for some of the best known music in Hollywood such as Pirates of the Caribbean and the Lion King.
04/19/2016 07:16 am - Neowiz Games announced today that the MMORPG Bless is coming to North American and European markets. None other than Berlin based publisher Aeria Games will localize, market, and publish the massively multiplayer online game in the west. The studio h...more

A row has broken out on social networking site Twitter after the BBC named a panda called Sweetie as the "pioneering" female face of December in their round up of Women: Faces Of The Year 2011.
Tian Tian, the "celebrity" panda settling into Edinburgh zoo was nominated alongside the US congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords who survived being shot in the head in January and Hackney mother of four Pauline Pearce who stood up to looters during the August riots.
Pippa Middleton, Adele and Libyan Eman al-Obeidi who burst in on a press conference to tell foreign media that she had been gang raped by Gaddafi's military officials also made the list.
Can bamboo-chomping panda Sweetie really sit alongside these human women to be one of 2011 female faces?
The outcry comes in the wake of controversy over the BBC failing to include a woman in their Sports personality of the year.
Many are wondering if the BBC could not think of a human female from December's headlines to fill their 12 faces: what about Aung San Suu Kyi who in December finally registered her political party in a dramatic return to Burmese politics?
The male faces of 2011 have no animals among its distinguished nominees.

Draft Tech
Info streams change the way Pistons gear up to make their picks
The aimless late '70s Pistons became the Bad Boys under Jack McCloskey because he worked harder and smarter than his peers around the NBA. He found a guard he immediately felt would make an ideal complement to Isiah Thomas at a Las Vegas holiday tournament in December 1984, sitting on his hunch until springing it on Pistons owner Bill Davidson right after Dallas drafted 7-footers Bill Wennington and Uwe Blab with the 16th and 17th picks in the 1985 draft.
It was easier to scout players 15 years later, in 2000, when that guard Trader Jack discovered off the Vegas strip, McNeese State's Joe Dumars, had succeeded McCloskey and was running his first draft for the Pistons. You could watch players on DVD by then, not catch them on an uncharacteristically good or bad night against questionable competition and be forced to make sweeping conclusions based on sketchy evidence.
But the difference between 2012 and 2000 is every bit as pronounced as it was between 2000 and 1985, the age of technology changing the way teams go about the vetting process.
"Night and day," Joe D said Thursday with the 2012 draft a week away. "The amount of information you didn't have 10 years ago is amazing now. I look back on it and think, how did we even make picks 10 years ago?"
Among his staff, Joe D is ribbed for his "addiction" to Synergy, the computer program that enables video scouting at incredibly detailed levels. They crunch the numbers and integrate statistical analysis with what their eyes and ears and gut tell them – the NBA equivalent of the intelligence community's merging of human intelligence and signal intelligence.
His first draft – historically weak, in which the first three picks were Kenyon Martin, Stromile Swift and Darius Miles – produced Mateen Cleaves, whom Dumars flipped a year later for Jon Barry and a No. 1 pick. Two years later, in a draft nearly as devoid of quality players, Dumars found Tayshaun Prince with the 23rd pick.
Over the last five years, as Dumars and his staff have honed the draft process and made full use of the advanced technology available, they're really hit their stride in the draft room.
Rodney Stuckey and Arron Afflalo were plucked with the 15th and 27th picks in 2007. On ESPN.com this week, draft analyst Chad Ford suggested a redraft would see Stuckey go No. 5 and Afflalo No. 10.
The Pistons have nothing to show for the 2008 draft, where they went in with the 29th pick in a draft that ran out of steam a few picks before that. Not thrilled with anything available to them, Joe D traded down into the top of the second round and took a shot on Walter Sharpe.
In the three drafts since then, the Pistons have added three players critical to their future: Jonas Jerebko, Greg Monroe and Brandon Knight. Austin Daye, the 15th pick in 2009, still has a shot to join their company. He was trending that way after his second season, but undeniably took a big step back last year, hurt by his decision to go to Russia during the lockout and losing weight he couldn't afford to lose, caused, he said, by the hassles of finding appealing and nutritious food given the language barrier.
If Ford follows through on his redrafting projects in five-year increments for those drafts, chances are pretty good Jerebko, Monroe and Knight will be slotted ahead of their actual draft position. If Daye gets back on track, he surely could be, as well.
The Pistons have some momentum at their back now. They finished the 2011-12 season 21-21, remarkable given the emotional and physical toll their 4-20 start in a brutally compressed schedule took. Monroe and Knight have star potential. In a deep draft, the Pistons have a shot to add another one of their caliber with the No. 9 pick.
Dumars and his staff fully understand the importance of this draft. They're considering every contingency: the cost of trading up, the rewards of trading down, the chances that they'll have to decide between a higher-ranked perimeter player over a big man that fills the greater need.
In every case, their decision will be exquisitely informed by a stream of knowledge unavailable to them a dozen years ago, never mind the days when Trader Jack discovered an obscure guard out of tiny McNeese State by outworking his peers.

Intravenous Delusion
- Artist: Professor Gall
- Genre: Rock
- Release Date: 6/6/2006
'Expert in all...master of none'. Upfront dark satire, lurid absurdity and pseudo-psychological lesson plans. As a backdrop, a neo-traditional bent, culminated by a favorable twist on vintage sounds. Songs are filled with playfully sinister fiction-offered to the audience as fact...of course. Professor Gall seeks to uncover the contradictions of an ambiguous and nativeless society, 'dreaming the existentialists' dream', while at the same time pleading for individualism, peace, and more fun at funerals. Enter Drew Norman, the guitarist and influential songwriter of Portland, Oregons' The Cow Trippers, hired hand for The Sort Of's (Chris Robley's Quintet), and BB's Fistfull of Babies (featuring many musicians including Paul Brainard). Drew has been working on his Professor Gall alter ego in spare moments while the 'Trippers released three critically acclaimed albums during '99 to '04, performing at many regional festivals (including NXNW), building a following in west coast markets, and at the same time touring extensively in western North America as a solo artist. These travels have taken him as far south as Mulege', Mexico and as far north as Fairbanks, Alaska supporting his solo CD 'Safe At Home'. Using many of the same musicians, as well as some newcomers (including some March Fourth Marching Band horn players), the conglomerate presents 'Intravenous Delusion', the first full length studio album to date to be released on their own BEW Records label.

Egg recipes that aren't just dippy eggs and soldiers? From Asian-inspired laksa dishes to one-pot baked eggs that are perfect for an Instagrammable brunch, this is your one-stop shop for every egg recipe you could ever need. You're welcome…
Seb Holmes' Smoked Salmon Laksa With Soft Boiled Egg
Top egg tip: Seb always cooks his eggs in salted water, then removes from the boiling hot water into ice cold water with a splash of olive oil. If you then peel the eggs in the water the oil gets between the shell and the flesh making them easy to peel.
Prep Time: 5 minutes
Cooking Time: 25 minutes
Serves: 2
You will need…
300g red curry paste
100ml cooking oil
1 tbsp mild curry powder
2 British Lion eggs
1 tbsp brown soft sugar
2 tbsp fish sauce
200ml fish stock
400ml coconut cream
300g smoked salmon, roughly chopped into bite sized pieces
1 small handful coriander
3 tbsp peanuts, lightly crushed in a pestle and mortar
300g vermicelli noodles, blanched in boiling water and refreshed in cold water
1 lime
How to make…
1. Fry the curry paste in the oil and then add the curry powder. Fry for eight to ten minutes, moving all the time.
2. Soft boil and peel your eggs - an average sized egg takes five minutes cooking time on a rolling boil. Once peeled, leave them aside at room temperature.
3. Add the sugar into the paste and continue to cook for two minutes until the paste goes darker, then add the fish sauce and the fish stock and bring back to the boil.
4. Once boiling, add the coconut cream and bring to a simmer. Check seasoning as you may wish for a little more sugar or fish sauce to taste.
5. Lastly drop the smoked salmon into the curry and serve in a bowl with the cooked noodles. Pour the hot curry over the noodles to heat them.
6. Garnish with a sprinkle of coriander, crushed peanuts, the soft boiled eggs ripped in half and dribbling into the curry and a wedge of lime to squeeze over for freshness.

Seb Holmes' Egg-Topped Smokey Aubergine Salad
This salad is a perfect accompaniment to a barbecue and also delicious served with steamed jasmine rice. Thai purple aubergine is thinner and easier to grill evenly in a short time - large aubergine can be used, but it may need to be cooked a little longer.
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cooking Time: 25 minutes
Serves: 2
You will need…
For the salad
2 Thai purple aubergines
2 medium British Lion eggs
A handful of mint, picked and torn in half with fingers
A handful of coriander, picked and washed.
100g Thai shallots, peeled and sliced thinly (banana shallots chopped thinly can be used instead)
20g Jasmine Rice
For the dressing
4 limes, juiced
4 tbsp fish sauce (soy sauce if vegetarian)
4 tbsp tamarind water
2 tbsp caster sugar
1 mandarin, juiced (clementine will work too)
½ tbsp chilli powder (a little less if you don't like heat)
How to make…
1. Make the dressing by mixing together all the ingredients.
2. Light up the BBQ and allow the coals to turn white, or heat up a griddle pan on a high heat on the hob.
3. Place the aubergines directly on the coals or on the griddle pan and allow to char, turning them over occasionally until they are soft to the touch. Then remove from the heat and leave to cool. If the skins are really charred peel the aubergines but if they are just caramelised leave them on. Cut the cooked aubergine into big chunks and place in a bowl.
4. Fry the jasmine rice in a dry pan until golden. Then grind in a pestle and mortar or in a food processor until you have a fine powder.
5. Toss together the aubergine, herbs and shallots.
6. Bring a pan of salted water to a rolling simmer, then stir to create a whirlpool. Crack an egg into the middle and cook for four minutes or until the white is cooked and the yolk is still soft. Then remove from the pan with a slotted spoon.
7. Dress the salad with your dressing and place on a plate then top with your poached egg, a sprinkling of toasted rice and a pinch of salt on the egg yolk.

Seb Holmes' Braised Pork Parlow With Runny Eggs
To stop the pork from getting tough, cook it slowly.
Prep Time: 1 hour
Cooking Time: 2.5 hours
Serves: 6
You will need…
1 Pork shin, around 1.5kg, bone and skin removed
10 garlic cloves
3 tbsp ginger, peeled and roughly chopped
1 tsp ground white pepper
Table salt
A handful of coriander (picked and washed)
2 bay leaves
100ml oyster sauce
200ml sweet soy
2 tbsp brown sugar
100ml fish sauce
1 litre chicken stock
6 medium British Lion eggs
100ml vegetable oil
How to make…
1. Firstly blanch the pork shin in simmering water to remove any inequalities within the meat. To do this place the shin in cold, salted water and slowly bring to the boil. Once starting to bubble, simmer the meat until it is cooked throughout without boiling too hard (about one hour).
2. Next make the paste. In a pestle and mortar add the garlic, ginger and white pepper and pound to a paste, use some coarse sea salt as an abrasive if necessary. Fry the paste in the oil, moving constantly until it is golden brown. Then add the stock, fish sauce, sugar, sweet soy, sugar, bay leaves and oyster sauce.
3. Next add the blanched pork shin and leave on a medium heat with a lid on the pot for two to three hours. By this time the meat should fall off the bone and the sauce should be loose but rich in taste, almost like a broth. At this stage add the eggs and soft boil in the sauce for five minutes, then remove and peel the shell.
4. Serve the pork parlow with rice and some of the sauce topped with coriander and the soft boiled egg on top oozing into the broth.

2 British Lion eggs (optional – for topping)
How to make…
1. In a pan add the stock, soy sauce, white pepper, sugar and cucumber and bring to the boil. Cook gently for a few minutes to soften the cucumber.
2. Next add the shrimp and continue to cook until they are cooked throughout.

5. Rip the egg in half and add to the soup along with a handful of fresh Thai basil and crispy garlic and serve. Adjust seasoning if needed to suit your own taste.

Elly Pear's Italian Style Baked Egg
Easy and quick, this is the perfect weeknight supper or great weekend brunch dish. Dip in toasted wholemeal pitas, or add roasted red peppers and wilted spinach.
Serves: 1
You will need…
½ tsp (2.5ml) olive oil
100g tinned cherry tomatoes
1 tsp finely chopped fresh red chilli
1 clove garlic, crushed or very finely chopped
1 medium egg (Elly uses Burford Browns for their amazing orange yolks and incredible flavour)
30ml semi skimmed milk
5g finely grated fresh Parmesan
2tbsp fresh basil leaves (use the smaller leaves from a bunch)
How to make…
1. Preheat the oven to 180C.
2. Put the olive oil into a small saucepan and warm through. Add the chilli and garlic and soften over a low/medium heat, being careful not to burn the garlic. After about 4 minutes, add the tomatoes and crush gently against the side of the pan with your spoon, just to break them down a little. Stir well and continue to cook for about 6 more minutes.
3. Tip the entire contents of the pan into a small ovenproof dish, making sure you scrape every last bit out.
4. Crack the egg on top of the tomato mixture. Pour the milk on top of the egg and then top with the cheese and season well with black pepper and Maldon salt. Bake for about 10 to 12 minutes until the white is set.
5. Remove from the oven and leave for a couple of minutes. It's going to be incredibly hot and tastes better once it's cooled down a tiny bit. Top with the basil. Serve!

Town's past caught on camera as Golf Club screens 'Underground'
Members enjoyed some familiar scenery as the lights were dimmed in Enniscorthy Golf Club's premises for a screening of the 1960s film 'Underground'.
The old film was made in Enniscorthy and offered an hour of local locations including St. Aidan's Cathedral, Vinegar Hill, the Promenade, the Old Barracks and the maltings (which is now Dunnes Stores). Other prominent locations were the old Foley's garage, Railway Square and train station, where a young Nick Cosgrave showed up on screen as a menacing SS officer in the World War Two drama. Another memorable scene was filmed on Friary Hill, opposite Letts brewery.
The night was rounded off by club member Joe '90' Murphy assuming the role of DJ to play sounds of the sixties.
