text: The Colombian Coffee Region is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and it's easy to see why when you visit – old traditions are still very much alive in this stunning part of the country, as colourful chiva trucks and Jeep Willys drive coffee farmers from their plantations into pretty little towns to sell those magical beans to make a cup of the world's finest coffee. With breathtaking Andean landscapes and some of Colombia's loveliest Heritage Towns, the Coffee Region is always a highlight of any trip to South America. Visitors can spend the day hiking, birdwatching, picking their own coffee, before finishing up the day chilling in a hammock in a beautiful boutique countryside hotel.

It breaks our heart, to know that in a village in Cross River state, Nigeria, young girls are sold in exchange for food items or debt settlement.
Channels TV reported that 'Money Marriage' is an age-long tradition of the Becheve tribe of Obanliku in Cross River State, as almost all families in the community are involved in it. The girls are often referred to as 'Money Woman' or 'Money Wife' and are sometimes sold out even before they were born.
The money marriage tradition does not in any way favour the girl-child. It was reported that the moment a man shows interest in any girl-child, her immediate family and other relatives are free to visit the man and collect things from him.
Anything offered them during their visit is given monetary value and recorded by their in-law (the man who is marrying the girl). If the mother is the greedy type, she'll often visit her 'in-law' to get a lot of things – Channels TV
In an event where the man dies, his next-of-kin marries the girl and if she dies without giving birth to children, her parents are mandated to bring a replacement.
Victoria Tabang, who has been given out in money marriage recounted her experience that after the death of her husband, it was expected of her to remain with her husband's people.
Even when I went to my people, they drove me away, saying I now belong elsewhere.
Money women or wives are sold for as low as N10,000, few goats, pigs and tubers of yam, depending on the man's bargain power.
They are also not allowed to be educated. Once a girl-child is given out in money marriage, she is considered dead by her immediate family members and warned never to return irrespective of how she is being treated by her husband or his relatives.

Stress, no matter the source, can lead to distracted driving. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) Traffic Safety Facts April, 2019 Research Note reported that nine percent of fatal crashes in 2017 were reported as distraction- affected crashes, killing 3,166 people. The age group consisting of 15 to 19 year-olds had the largest proportion of drivers who were reported as being involved in distraction-affected crashes.
The NHTSA recently pinpointed stress, or driving under the influence of emotions – distressed driving – as a cause of as many as 80% of crashes involving distracted driving. While distressed driving is not punishable under the law, it may have severe public safety consequences.
Stress is your body's way of responding to any kind of demand or threat. When you sense danger—whether it is real or imagined—the body's defenses kick into high gear in an automatic process known as the "stress response." The body's nervous system, however, isn't very good at distinguishing between emotional and physical threats. If you become super stressed over an argument, a work deadline, or a mountain of bills, your body can react just as strongly as if you are facing a true life-or-death situation.
According to the widely validated Holmes and Rahe Stress Scale, these are the top ten stressful life events for adults:
- Death of a spouse
- Divorce
- Marriage separation
- Imprisonment
- Death of a close family member
- Injury or illness
- Marriage
- Job loss
- Marriage reconciliation
- Retirement
Even if you have not experienced any of these, or are feeling overly happy, sad, angry, excited or sad, drivers can suffer from impairments that drastically reduce their safety on the road.
During #NationalStressAwarenessMonth that coincides with #DistractedDrivingAwarenessMonth, here are some tips on how to beat emotional stress that might render you a driving hazard:
1) Look after yourself physically
Stress raises your cortisol levels which have a big impact on your physical well-being as well as your emotional state. It's important to remember to look after yourself in all the usual ways: getting enough sleep, eating well and taking regular exercise.
2) Learn to stop worrying
You can learn to recognize and treat rising feelings of anxiety. Some people get back aches when they are over-stressed, in others stress might manifest itself as pain in other parts of the body – these are signs that you are experiencing anxiety and body signals telling you to stop, recalculate and get going calmly down the right road again.
3) Challenge unhelpful thoughts
The way that we think about things has an impact on our mood, anxiety and stress levels. Many of these thoughts occur outside of our control and can be negative or unhelpful. It is therefore important to remember that they are just thoughts, without any real basis, and are not necessarily facts. Even though we may believe a lot of our unhelpful thoughts when we are feeling low, anxious or stressed, it is good to remember that they should be questioned, as they are often based on wrong assumptions.

'Sons of Anarchy' Fight Brewing with REAL Motorcycle Club
The star of "Sons of Anarchy" just got an invitation to get his face bashed in by a real-life member of a motorcycle club who has a SERIOUS beef with the creator of the show.
It's all over some pretty incendiary comments made by "Sons" creator Kurt Sutter — aimed at the stars of "The Devils Ride" … a Discovery Channel reality show about the Laffing Devils motorcycle club in San Diego.
Sutter's tweet read, "Watched Devils Ride. Probably get in trouble for saying this, but I'm pretty sure my SOA actors could kick the sh*t out of this 'real' MC."
Obviously, the Devils weren't happy about the statement.
TMZ spoke with a guy named Sandman — a very scary member of the club — who tells us, "I am concerned that Kurt's creative mind is stuck in make-believe land with his recent comment on twitter."
Sandman adds, "Here's a reality check for ya Kurt … I am sending a personal invitation to your pretty faced Kurt Cobain look-alike star Jax to come down to San Diego and prove your point."
Yes, Sandman just challenged Charlie Hunnam to a fight.
And he ain't done yet … Sandman continues, "And tell him to wear those shiny white kicks too. I hope he's a size 11, I could use some new shoes."
Sandman even mentioned Sutter's wife — actress Katey Sagal — saying, "I am a big 'Married with Children' fan, can you have Peg send me an autographed picture? I would appreciate it."
We called Sutter for comment — so far, no response.

Grand Palace, Wat Pho and Wat Arun is one complex of tourist spot that you must visit. Then you can take cruise dinner along the chao praya riverto see the other side of bangkok..
You have to do shopping in bangkok!! You have to visit chatuchak weekend market or MBK mall where they offer lots of amazing stuffs with low price.
You also can watch Siam Niramit show or Lady Boy show... There are alot of local tour and travel, but better to look around at Nana since there are sooo many options of local tour being offered wIth competitive price.

Throughout the history of the universe, there have been multiple timelines, alternate realities and parallel universes that have all contained versions of Sarek.
Other SareksEdit
Resistance leaderEdit
In an alternate timeline caused by time travel to the year 1930, the United States of America failed to declare war against the Nazis due to the influence of isolationist activism, led by the likes of Edith Keeler. This timeline led to the Nazi takeover of Earth, and the rise of the Erdenreich government. Sarek gained prominence in an alliance of forces determined to resist the Nazi menace, which had destroyed many worlds of the Alpha and Beta Quadrants. By the 24th century, resistance against the Nazi Raumwaffe space fleet was failing, as Sarek's leadership became ineffectual due to the degradation of his mind with Bendii Syndrome as he passed the age of 200.

Jacques Villeneuve sent death threats over opposition to student protests
The threatening protests around the Canadian Grand Prix have taken an ugly twist after Jacques Villeneuve, the 1997 Formula One world champion, was sent death threats for voicing opposition to the nightly student demonstrations in Montreal.
Villeneuve is always outspoken but triggered a furious response on Twitter and the internet after telling thousands of students who have disrupted his home city to stop "loafing around" and to "go back to school".
Organisers of the Canadian Grand Prix are on tenterhooks, with student leaders threatening to target the race on Sunday as part of their campaign to force the Quebec state government to abandon plans for a 75 per cent increase in tuition fees.

The shadows grow long as I wheel through the university. I loved the university. My father was a college professor and I grew up on campus—learned to swim in the college pool, had a card at the college library, and was taught to drive by a college student.
I came to Syracuse University in 1966, eighteen years old and auditing a course courtesy of my father's connections. In 1967 I started to work at the university bookstore, later moving to the library where I paid the bills for the 10,000 periodicals the university got. Worked days and went to school nights on the Eternal Plan.
Went to school full-time for a while, back in the days when VESID had money and paid Syracuse University tuition. Came back to work for a professor who used me. It was in the early days of the feminist movement when we still thought that if we worked hard and did well then we'd automatically get promoted and get a raise. Didn't happen. Professor Gerry Grant discovered that I had a keen eye for editing and he had about nine researchers writing eighteen reports so he dumped all the editing on me. I never got the title or the money for the work I did. In fact, Grant quit the contract and left me to bring in the two-volume manuscript.
But it was the only time in my life when I woke up in the morning and thought, "Cool! I get to go to work!" I loved editing. I got to take bundles of words that had been hashed and mashed by college professors and graduate students and turn them into coherent statements of fact. There was one professor—a psychoanalyst at a Jesuit university—who wrote to impress himself and his colleagues. I took one section of something he wrote and sent it back to him noting, "It'll never play in Peoria."
He returned it with the acid comment that it wasn't meant to play in Peoria. Here's what I think: everything should be written to play in Peoria. Hemingway wrote simple sentences that everyone could understand—"straightforward prose" and "spare dialogue"—and he won the Nobel Prize for Literature. Too many people—particularly academicians—use the dump truck method of writing: back a dump truck full of random words up to the edge of the paper and let her rip.
The research project was about competency-based education and one of the researchers was the Harvard sociologist David Riesman, author of "The Lonely Crowd." He was a lovely man with courtly manners, but I cringed every time the post brought a manuscript from him. He wrote in murderous Germanic style, heavy with strings of nouns and largely absent the grace notes of prepositions, conjunctions and verbs. Dr. Riesman had great praise for my editing but his writing was like loops of heavy bratwurst strung together. He had two full-time secretaries at Harvard who commiserated with me. Dr. Riesman had somehow become convinced that every thought he had needed to be memorialized in print; sycophants surrounded him.
Another one of the researchers with whom I had a brief problem was an insecure, arrogant graduate student who would not tolerate being edited by a secretary. He and I went around on things several times until the professor finally shut him up with the simple statement that I was right. The graduate student split infinitives, ended sentences with prepositions and couldn't spell, among other things. To him it was about personal power; to me it was about good writing.
Words have specific discreet meanings. There is a right way and a wrong way to line them up. Bad writing is a reflection of bad thinking. In many cases, I could take the hash-and-mash of words, sort them out and reassemble them to say what the author meant. The professor, on the other hand, would take the hash-and-mash and simply delete it, slashing paragraphs or full pages. I would work to make it say what it was supposed to, so most of the researchers greatly appreciated me.
I like making words nice. I like cleaning them up, weeding out the ones that don't belong and rearranging the rest so that they flow easily and communicate a clear message. That is, after all, what words are for: communicating. One of my pet peeves is idiots who use a word incorrectly and then defend it, saying "but I meant it to mean X." We all have to use the same word to mean the same thing, otherwise we have failed to communicate. A dictionary is not a dictatorial arbiter; it is a published compendium of what people mean when they use a certain word; it is our common ground.
I can write a thousand words, hit Spelling & Grammar and come up with no errors. And a thousand words only take me about an hour. I had a friend—with a doctorate—who hated me because writing was tremendously hard work for him. It would take him weeks to grind out something that was less appealing that what I could produce in an hour.
I became a good writer very easily. Here's the recipe: first, do not go to college and take writing courses—they're utterly useless. Instead, read good writing. My father was a college professor and my mother graduated college in the 1930's so our house was awash with written words. (One of my sister's observed that if they put words on toilet paper, we'd read them.)
Second, write. Write a lot. Practice makes perfect. There was a time when my mantra was "A thousand words before breakfast."
Third, live. You have to have something worth writing about. Live deeply and broadly. Take chances. Believe in something important.
To become a good writer, read, write and live. If you feel a crushing need to go to college, take marketing courses to learn how to sell your work.

The times are trying enough without having to worry about a visit to the dentist. There is much talk about the transmission of disease in any given medical environment. Well, we're here to say dentistry in our practice still is a safe and healthful experience. And it's not just a matter of trust.
It took the AIDS epidemic to bring it to the public eye. But we've been guarding against it at our dental office since the day we opened our doors.
I'm talking about communicable disease. AIDS is the one you hear most about, but there are others. A quiet new killer (HCV, hepatitis C virus) currently infects about four million Americans who will never be able to rid themselves of it. Here at the office we're also aware that hepatitis B, tuberculosis, influenza-even the common cold-are communicable. The good news is that the same strict standards of asepsis (cleanliness) we use against one disease also defend us against all the others.
You may not be aware of all we do to ensure your protection from cross-communicated viruses during your dental care. In fact, it's a large part of our day, and we're committed to the task.
We use disposable items wherever we can. Every surface in the operatory is secured against airborne bacteria with physical barriers. Our sterilization procedures are complex, monitored by an outside agency, and, not incidentally, much more than OSHA, the American Dental Association, the Centers for Disease Control, and local agencies require.
Metal instruments are cleansed in an ultrasonic bath before autoclaving in chemical pressurized heat. Hand pieces, for instance (you know them as drills), take an hour's preparation-heat-treated then cooled-for each patient. We disinfect everything in sight.
All this costs, but it's worth it.
We wouldn't be here if we didn't care about you, your health, and your good looks. We want you to feel comfortable, all the time. Please ask about our sterilization program and we'll be more than happy to show you what we're doing.
You know we care about open communication in our dental office. This letter is another way we hope to show it.
According to the American Cancer Society, about 30,000 new cases of mouth cancer are diagnosed annually in the U.S. About half of those who have oral cancer die within five years. Early detection can make a dramatic difference in treating the cancer at curable stages and reducing oral cancer deaths.
Early detection capabilities recently have been enhanced by a new computer-assisted mouth cancer screening tool. A nationwide study of 945 patients ranging in ages from 18 to 83 was conducted by dentists at 35 U.S. academic dental care sites.
Brush biopsy specimens were obtained from oral lesions as part of the extensive research, testing the accuracy of computer-assisted diagnostic equipment. The brush biopsy caused little or no bleeding and no anesthetic was required. The computer-assisted image analysis was used to identify suspicious cells in the samples.
The computer analysis properly identified every case of pre-cancerous and cancerous lesions as confirmed by lab tests from their traditional tissue evaluations. Additionally, it also correctly identified some lesions that were benign in appearance, but were actually found to be pre-cancerous or cancerous. Had it not been for this new diagnostic equipment, these lesions would have escaped detection and the patient would not have received any additional oral cancer testing.
"Early evaluation of oral pre-cancerous lesions can have a dramatic impact on oral cancer mortality rates," says Dr. James J. Sciubba, DMD, PhD, professor of Oral and Maxillofacial Pathology at State University of New York at Stony Brook, who also serves as a spokesperson for the study. Early-stage mouth cancers are not easily detectable by visual inspection and may be overlooked.
The oral cancer scanner provides dentists a new evaluation tool that can lead to a significant reduction in cancer deaths. An estimated 8,100 people will die from mouth cancer this year. This new dentistry tool has shown remarkable merit as a reliable dental health device. By providing an accurate diagnosis, it has become a crucial weapon in the fight against oral cancer.

Just a day after a strange video featuring the elderly comics mogul threatening to sue any media outlet covering allegations of elder abuse and fraud surrounding Lee's fortune, news surfaced that Lee was now suing his former business manager, Jerardo Olivarez, for just those things.

In a suit filed friday in Los Angeles Superior Court, Jerardo Olivarez, who was an associate of Lee's daughter, J.C. The suit alleges, as reported by Deadline, that Olivarez, in the wake of the 2017 death of Lee's wife, Joan B. Lee, took control of Lee's financial and professional affairs, using his newfound power to line his own pockets.
Just days after Joan's death, the suit alleges, Olivarez and his associates had fired Lee's banker of 46 years, along with Lee's long-time attorney, and transferred $US4.6 ($6) million out of Lee's bank account. It says Olivarez also convinced Lee to sign over power of attorney to Olivarez, with Olivarez's lawyer Uri Litvak taking over as Lee's as well.
From there, the accusations align closely with rumours that have been floating around the media for some time — that Olivarez, using the non-profit Hands of Respect as a front, fraudulently having Lee donate $US300,000 ($386,352) of his own money to the enterprise, while also engaging in bizarre money-making schemes like selling Lee's blood.
The suit, which seeks accounting of the stolen funds and commensurate restitution, paints, alongside Lee's Thursday video, an even more confusing picture of Lee's inner circle and the amount of control he has over his own affairs in this late stage of his life.
Someone with legal power in Lee's side certainly thinks wrongdoing has been done, at least. We'll see if it gets set right.

I hope y'all had a great weekend – mine certainly was! Dr Crippen's was a blast as usual and it was cool to make my dj'ing debut at the club on Friday night. My old friends The Freedom 35s played a live set and it was funktacular as usual. Saturday night featured a live performance by Dave Lewis – the frontman behind a little known local psych group called Andwella's Dream. He was backed by a number of friends of mine who also play in various local groups and who had only practiced with Dave once, an hour or so before the show started!! The band were fantastic and gave the impression they had been playing together for years. The night was rounded off by the usual array of Dr Crippen's regular and some special guest djs. All in all a fantastic weekend was had by all those who attended – roll on the next one!!
It's been a little while since I've brought you something "nu-funk" (I say nu-funk but this was released in 2003, still I'm sure you get my drift) so today's the day to put that right. The New Mastersounds formed in Leeds in 1999/2000 when guitarist Eddie Roberts was running a club night called "The Cooker" which moved to a new venue with a 2nd floor and space for bands. Seizing the opportunity, Eddie set up a new band called the New Mastersounds (he had already played in a band a few years prior called "The Mastersounds"). The band's first singles were released as limited edition 7s a short time later and to date they have released 8 studio albums and almost 30 singles.
As you may imagine, today's selection follows nicely alongside some of the other pioneers of the "nu-funk" sound that we've featured before including Speedometer, Lefties Soul Connection and The Bamboos. So what do you get? Think heavy hammond, groovy guitar licks & pounding drums and you're on the right track.

Question: Scalp Pimples & Itch w/Swollen Lymph Nodes
|flyingtim01 - Mon Nov 02, 2009 11:06 am
Share |
First I'd just like to say that I do have an appointment to see my doctor regarding this issue, but its not for a couple of weeks, so in the meantime I'm just looking for some information in the hopes that I can stop stressing over it.
Last week, I noticed that I had developed what felt like pimples on my scalp, mostly on the back of my head. It might be noted that on the day before the pimples started in earnest, I was out in the rain, wearing a wet baseball cap for approximately 2-3 hours. They felt irritated and a bit painful. I assumed that like pimples, it would go away on its own. Instead, they seemed to get even more inflamed and more painful, to the point where even if I rocked my head back (as though I was looking up) they would be very painful.
After a couple of days of that, I noticed that the lymph node behind my left ear had become swollen. Its not particularly tender, though I haven't spent much time prodding and poking it. By now, the pimples on my scalp had become much worse, with perhaps 1-2 dozen of them, of varying sizes, populating the back and crown of my head. The very top of my scalp has remained relatively clear, with only one or two pimples showing up and then clearing up over the past 7 seven days, though the rest of my scalp seemed to be mildy itchy. For sure, the worst of the pimples were on the back of my head. I also noticed that while not as pronounced as the enlarged lymph node behind my left ear, there were also lumps on the back of my neck. These also weren't particularly tender.
The scalp pimples didn't strike me as exceedingly odd (at 29 years old I still have pimples that show up on my face, despite my good hygiene) but the swollen lymph nodes seemed to me like something else might be going on, so I made an appointment to see my doctor. In the meantime, I looked up my symptoms online, and all the signs point to a fungal infection. I started using a shampoo with tea tree oil and drying my hair completely. I've also stayed away from hats and changed the pillow cases on my bed and bought a new comb, just to cover my bases.
As of today, 7 days after I first noticed the pimples, they are decidedly better. There are a few smaller pimples that seem to be just scale at this point and there are just a few of the larger and more inflamed ones, seeming localized along the bottom of my hairline along the back of my head. I still have somewhat of an itchy scalp, but nothing terrible. Whether that is due to any of the steps I took to treat my symptoms or the infection just running its course, I have no idea. The lymph node behind my ear seems to be a bit less pronounced, though I can still feel the nodes in my neck, if I move my head in the correct direction and bring them closer to the surface.
Just a few pieces of history: over the last year or so, I have noticed that sometimes the lymph node behind my left ear has gotten swollen. I can't say that there were any other symptoms along with it (perhaps a sore throat at one point) but the lymph node always went down in a matter of days. I never noticed any of the other ones in the back of my neck swelling. I've also had scalp pimples, but it was fairly infrequently, so I always attributed it to a clogged pore or ingrown hair. Also, I usually keep my hair short, perhaps 1" long on top and very closely cropped on the sides and back. However, my hair is longer now, as I haven't had time to visit the barber. Not sure if that has anything to with it.
For as long as I can remember, I've had mild dandruff in the winter when the weather turns cold and dry. I've used Head & Shoulders for the past 5 years or so, and I was using it daily when I noticed this latest round of pimples, and had been since last winter. I also have generally dry skin in the winter, mostly on my back and shoulders. I was a swimmer for 4 years in high school, and always thought the chlorine in the pools contributed to this condition. I deal with the itch in winter with lotion, and forget about it for the rest of the year. Also from my years on the swim team, I acquired a nail fungus on my left small toe. I saw a dermatologist (it was probably nearly 15 years ago by now) who at the time prescribed Lamisil cream. I used it then, but the fungus never seemed to clear up completely and I still have the symptoms today. A yellowed, flaky nail and sometimes itching and splitting of the skin between my small toe and the neighboring one. I keep the nail clipped very short (so that its almost not there) and when it gets itchy, I use the OTC Lamisil cream.
I also don't know if this has anything to do with anything, but my girlfriend has had a yeast infection that lasts for the 4-5 days before her period, and then clears up, for the last 4 months. She saw her doctor about it last week and is now addressing that issue by decreasing the amount of sugar she is eating (among other things) and using a suppository.
Like I said, I have an appointment to see my doctor, but any light anyone sheds on this for me would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Hello,The scalp pimples are mostly folliculitis,and you have a reactive lymphadenopathy.The chances of fungal infection of scalp is less likely because the lesions are more circumscribed and scaly in tinea capitis.One of the most important causes in my experience is pediculosis of scalp and secondary folliculitis.Do check with your parner for the same and if so may need application of permethin.Of course your doctor would be in a better position to advice,but you can always discuss this possibility.Best wishes.

PC-lint/FlexeLint Output | Reference Manual Explanation | Home
A programmer wrote int_check(k) to determine some of the properties of its integer argument. But there's a slight flaw. Can you spot it?
bug845.cpp lint Output
--- Module: bug845.cpp (C++) _ else if( k == 0 ) p &= ZERO; bug845.cpp 10 Info 845: The left argument to operator '&' is certain to be 0 [Reference: file bug845.cpp: line 8]
Reference Manual Explanation
845 The [left/right] argument to operator 'Name' is certain to be 0 -- An operand that can be deduced to always be 0 has been presented to an arithmetic operator in a context that arouses suspicion. The name of the operator is provided in the message as well as the side of the operator (left or right) that had the unusual value. For example: n = 0; k = m & n; will produce a message that the right hand operand of operator '&' is certain to be zero. The operands examined are the right hand sides of operators + - | || the left hand sides of operators / % and both sides of operators * & << >> && The reason that the left hand side of operator + (and friends) is not examined for zero is that zero is the identity operation for those operators and hence is often used as an initializing value. For example: sum = 0; for( ... ) sum = sum + what_ever; // OK, no message The message is not issued for arithmetic constant zeros. Info 835 in Section 13.4 is issued in that instance. The message is also suspended when the expression has side-effects. For example: i = 0; buf[i++] = 'A'; We don't consider it reasonable to force the programmer to write: buf[0] = 'A'; i = 1;

On 16 OCT 15, NEC-SE posted: The New Model of Power Relations and the Middle East Crisis
In the article we stated:
"Most Americans are ignorant of the shifting alliances and power blocs that are influencing the course of events in the Middle East. As a result, recent moves by Russia and China in Syria and the Mediterranean Sea have come as a shock to many observers. But those that have followed China and Russia since the mid 1990s, when the Shanghai Cooperative Organization (SCO) was formed as an alternative to the unipolar world led by United States (and, also, as a response to an increasingly assertive and capable NATO) know that the SCO axis had a prior record of conducting multiple national-level joint military and security exercises well before the crisis in Syria placed them in an operational role.
"They also know that the U.S. has played a leadership role in facilitating the recent re-emergence of Russia as a global power and in the rise of China as a military power. Larger American firms tied to the current administration have also been given economic incentives to help sustain China's faltering economy thereby ensuring that China realizes its vision for the Middle East.
"Thus, in a few years under the current administration, the U.S. has surrendered initiative and leadership on foreign policy to the SCO axis. China is now ahead of U.S. in terms of providing a conceptual vision of the future in not only Asia but throughout world.
"This became glaringly apparent last week when Americans watched with astonishment and no little dismay as the Russians and Chinese, in collusion with Iran, undertook to support the Assad regime in the civil war in Syria. Bear in mind that this is the same regime that the Obama administration identified as having crossed a "red line" by using weapons of mass destruction against opposition forces.
"NEC-SE hopes that people who value democratic governance will recognize that the new world order as envisioned by the SCO axis is fundamentally hostile to the formation and existence of free societies. Nor is a world organized along the SCO's authoritarian, statist lines conducive to achieving peace and prosperity among the historical nations of the Middle East."
In other words, the United States has been abandoning its footprint in several parts of the world, including especially Eastern Europe and the Middle East. As a result the ability of the United States to influence the course of events and provide meaningful support to our allies in those regions is declining. Exacerbating the situation is the tendency of the current administration to flip-flop on key policy issues affecting those allies.
Our foreign policy for Iraq has been especially problematic. Initially, following the ouster of Saddam Hussein, we sought to build an all-inclusive Iraq that would provide fair representation and security for everyone in that ethnically and religiously diverse nation, including the indigenous Assyrians. Subsequently, however, the United States ceded most of Iraq south of Tikrit to that area's Shiite Muslims. It is interesting to note in this regard that the late Ayatollah Khomeini, former supreme leader of the Islamic Republic of Iran, seemed to anticipate this development as far back as June 1982, not long after the beginning of the Iran-Iraq War. In a work entitled Post-Saddam Iraq: New Realities, Old Identities, Changing Patterns by Amnon Cohen and Noga Efrati, Khomeini was quoted as saying that "the road to Jerusalem passes through Karbala." According to the authors, this statement by Khomeini signaled his belief that Iraqi Shiites were key to his longstanding goal of creating an Islamist Middle East, a process that necessarily entailed the equally desired objective of achieving the destruction of Israel.
Fast-forward three decades and we see that the Ayatollah's plan for the region is unfolding more or less as he predicted. Example: the Obama administration hints that PM Nouri al-Maliki, a Shiite, should step down in order to allow more participation in the nation's government and political processes by Iraqi Sunnis and other marginalized elements. Maliki does step down and is succeeded by Haider al-Abadi, who largely continues Maliki's policy of expanding and consolidating Shia power in Iraq. Given that this is the case, it is no coincidence that the Iraqi army is now largely trained and commanded by Iranians. The response by the United States to the Shiia power grab is confused and contradictory. On the one hand the Obama Administration states that Iraq will remain a unified sovereign nation; on the other hand Vice President Joe Biden opines that Iraq must be partitioned into three separate states. Not surprisingly, the KRG's Masrour Barzani expressed his support for partitioning Iraq on 16 JUN 2016. This outcome seems more likely with each passing day, but it is be no means a foregone conclusion–not yet, at any rate. Nobody can say for sure what Iraq's ultimate fate will be, least of all the United States, which has so far failed to produce a viable strategy, much less anything resembling a coherent plan, for keeping Iraq unified. The rest of the world has taken note of this failure and has interpreted it as a sign of weakness on America's part.
In northern Iraq (i.e., north of Tikrit) we see much the same dynamic at work. In 2007, then-Senator Barack Obama chastised then-Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice for the deteriorating situation in Iraq, observing that Assyrian Christians, Yazidis, and Mandaeans "appear to be targeted by Sunni, Shiite, and Kurdish militants." He went on to say:
"The severe violations of religious freedom face by members of these indigenous communities, and their potential extinction from their ancient homeland, is deeply alarming in light of our mission to bring freedom to the Iraqi people.
"In addition, such violence may be an indicator of greater sectarian violence. Such rising sectarian violence and the Iraqi internally displaced people and refugee crises potentially could serve as catalysts for wider regional instability…. These crises demand an urgent response from our government."
Fast-forward a mere seven years to 2014, and again to 2016, when President Obama proved unwilling to acknowledge that the Islamic State was engaged in the genocidal extermination of these communities, or that the systematic massacre of Assyrians, Armenians, and Pontic Greeks by the Ottoman Turks during World War I fit the definition of genocide. This, despite the fact that then-presidential candidate Barack Obama had promised in 2008, in a written statement on his campaign website, that he would push for recognition of those massacres as genocidal acts. Instead, he has further ceded ownership of northern Iraq, specifically the Assyria Nineveh Plain, to the Sunni Muslim Kurds. When it comes to formulating and implementing Middle East policy, the only consistency one observes in the Obama administration is inconsistency. It is ironic that Germany, a traditional "friend" of Turkey, did what the Obama administration could not when it formally recognized as genocide the massacres of Armenians and other Christian ethnicities in First World War Anatolia.
The foreign policy missteps in Iraq lead us into neighboring Iran, where ongoing efforts to obtain weapons-grade uranium (presumably for the construction of nuclear weapons) were recently re-cast in a more benign light, as the means to further the development of Iran's civilian nuclear capabilities. The conclusion of the so-called Iranian Nuclear Economic Deal between the US and Iran formalized this rather generous interpretation of Iranian R&D activities in the nuclear technology sphere. It also resulted in the US giving Iran hundreds of billions of dollars while at the same failing to secure the release of American citizens detained in that country.
Nor have US business interests benefited from this deal, as intended. On the contrary American businesses (except for those specifically authorized by OFAC) remain barred from Iran. Meanwhile, European businesses are enjoying their newly granted ability to open subsidiaries in Iran and conduct operations in that country without competition from their American counterparts.
This favorable treatment of Iran is peculiar in light of President Obama's statement to an Arab newspaper, Asharq al-Awsat, that "Iran is a state sponsor of terrorism … it helps prop up the Assad regime in Syria. It supports Hezbollah in Lebanon and Hamas in the Gaza Strip. It aids the Houthi rebels in Yemen. So countries in the region are right to be deeply concerned about Iran's activities, especially its support for violent proxies inside the borders of other nations." The president went on to say that he "cannot predict Iran's internal dynamics" because Iran has "leaders and groups that for decades have defined themselves in opposition to both the United States and our regional partners."
Amazingly, the Iranian Nuclear-Economic Deal was concluded shortly after these comments by the president were published in Arab media outlets. With the one-year anniversary of the deal approaching it is safe to say that the US has realized little to no positive return it. Instead, Iran has become a regional power that still holds US citizens in its prisons, still aids the Assad regime, and is conducting military operations in Iraq just as the Ayatollah Khomeini asserted it must and would eventually do. Israel is duly perplexed and alarmed by this deal, as it has historically looked to the US as an ally, only to see it empowering its aggressively hostile opponent.
Missteps in Iraq also lead us to the US policy for Turkey. There have been a plethora of confusing messages sent by the US in this regard.
First, Secretary of State John Kerry called Erdogan's comments on Zionism "objectionable" after Erdogan characterized Zionism as a "crime against humanity."
Relatedly, Vice President Joe Biden commented during a Harvard University speech in OCT 2014 that Erdogan had admitted to funneling jihadists into Syria via Turkey to fight against the Assad regime. Angered by Biden's comment, Erdogan insisted that he never made such a statement and demanded an apology from the vice president. Biden immediately complied and issued a clarification.
Then, in DEC 2015, President Obama urged Turkey and Russia to de-escalate tensions after Turkey shot down a Russia fighter jet over the Syrian-Turkish border. On the one hand, Obama stated that
"We all have a common enemy [referring to the so-called Islamic State (IS) group]. I want to make sure that we focus on that threat. Turkey is a NATO ally, and we're very much committed to Turkey's security and its sovereignty. We discussed how Turkey and Russia can work together to de-escalate tensions and find a diplomatic path to resolve this issue."
On the other hand, Defense Secretary Ashton Carter later stated that Turkey should step up its efforts to combat Islamic State militants, saying that Turkey had not effectively secured its borders to prevent IS fighters from crossing back and forth between Turkey and Syria. This harkened back to Vice President Biden's comments from just a year earlier. Speaking in Washington, Carter urged Turkey to counter the jihadists "both in the air and on the ground":
Most recently, Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu stated that US Special Forces operators in Syria were wearing Kurdish YPD patches and that this was "unacceptable." Turkey is currently facing strong opposition from Kurdish separatist groups. This tug of war between US/NATO interests and Turkey's interests has given rise to speculation that Turkey may decide to leave NATO. Just this week, NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg stated that NATO will increase its presence in the Mediterranean in order to reduce the flow of Syrian refugees migrating to Europe via Turkey. Turkey opposed this course of action, arguing that NATO's resources should be used to combat "Russian aggression" even as it continues to rake in dollars via its human smuggling operations.
On 2 AUG 15 NEC-SE was the first media outlet to call attention to the upcoming refugee crisis; and on 11 SEP 2015 we provided a detailed analysis examining how Turkey has profited from the refugee crisis:
"Turkey has opened her borders with Greece, Syria, and Eastern Europe to facilitate the flow of refugees into the rest of Europe/NATO member states. At the same time Turkish "organizations" are supporting the refugees on their journey. These organizations are actually nothing more than groups of human smugglers who function in much the same fashion as the notorious "coyotes" of Mexico who illegally transport various people from South America through Mexico and into the United States via its southern border."
It appears that the United States, under its current leadership, has been unable to effectively communicate a consistent message to the world in general and to NATO partners like Turkey in particular. Ironically, what the Obama administration has been unable to do, the family of the late boxing champion, Muhammad Ali, was able to do at his recent funeral. Erdogan had intended to speak at the funeral and had traveled to Kentucky for that purpose, but was denied from doing so by Ali's family. The latter cited scheduling conflicts as the reason for his removal from the list of speakers, but an article in Washington Post intimated that there were other factors at play. As well, Erdogan had sought to place a piece of cloth from the Kaaba in Mecca (Islam's holiest site) on Ali's coffin during a Thursday night prayer service preceding the funeral; this, too, the family denied. And finally, Erdogan had hoped to have his own Islamic cleric read from the Koran during the Thursday service, only to be denied that privilege as well. Unlike President Obama and his administration, Ali's family was not intimidated by the Turkish prime minister nor was it reluctant to stand up to him. The Post also stated. that according to some unconfirmed reports, Ali's family had invited CIA-backed Islamic cleric Fethullah Gulen – Erdogan's rival – to attend the funeral. All this proved too much for Erdogan, who cut short his US trip, skipping Ali's funeral altogether to return to Turkey.
On 28 SEP 15, NEC-SE asked readers, "who speaks for Islam and who should speak for Islam?" Erdogan believes that Turkey should speak for Sunni Islam and that he should speak for Turkey. Ali's family believed differently and showed through their actions that it had no intention of letting Erdogan hijack the funeral for his own political gain. The family stood up to the Turkish prime minister, thwarting him at every turn, demonstrating the sort of decisiveness and clarity of purpose that the Obama administration had singularly lacked in its dealings with Turkey.
Today the rivalry between the global powers is playing out violently on the battlefields of Syria. Here, too, the US under its current leadership has sent confusing signals to the world concerning where and with whom it stands in the conflict, and what should be done to end it.
First, in AUG 2012, President Obama stated that Assad's use of chemical weapons in the Syrian civil war would be a "red line" that would trigger a firm response from the US and its allies
One year later, Assad's army was accused "with high confidence" by the White House of killing more than 1,400 civilians using sarin gas. Much of the world believed that the US under Obama's leadership would retaliate with air strikes against the Assad regime. But the US did nothing and Assad continued unchecked in brutally suppressing his enemies. Eventually, Russia acted to broker a deal whereby Assad would turn over his stock of chemical weapons to representatives of the global community.
What began as a stern warning by Obama of "enormous consequences" and a "change of calculus" on intervening militarily in Syria's civil war fizzled into a faux effort to seek Congressional authorization for airstrikes that he knew would be denied. To be sure, diplomacy succeeded in convincing Assad to relinquish most of his chemical weapons; but the absence of such weapons also opened up the battlefield to Islamic State militants, who promised Syrian Sunni Muslims protection from the Assad regime.
The rise of the Islamic State in 2013 and 2014, when it achieved significant military success and territorial gains in Iraq and Syria, led to speculation that Obama in fact preferred ISIS to Assad. NEC-SE was the first to note that the president blundered in this regard in a speech in which he stated, or rather misstated, that "the fall of Ramadi has galvanized the Iraqi government. So with the additional steps I ordered last month we're speeding up [the] training of ISIL forces, including volunteers from Sunni tribes in Anbar Province. More Sunni volunteers are coming forward."
On 6 JUL 15 NEC-SE wrote:
"This statement came during a televised speech where the President was speaking about U.S. strategic policies in the Middle East region. It was read off of a written statement which was given to him after his meeting with the National Security team members at the Pentagon. While most Americans understood that the President had referred to forces fighting against ISIL based on the context both prior to and after this statement, misunderstandings will abound in the Middle East where people are dying on a daily basis and most of the countries are in chaos. Those preparing these statements should have reviewed the President's speech prior to it being delivered."
The Obama administration could seemingly do nothing right. First it threatened air strikes against the Assad regime, only to back away from taking any military action whatsoever. Then it went with a more covert approach by training and arming rebel groups, whose weapons and fighters would often find their way to the Al-Nusra Front (Al Qaeda in Syria) and to the Islamic State. The Associated Press wrote:
"Even when President Barack Obama sent U.S. troops back to Iraq and ordered the military to stay in Afghanistan, he insisted Syria would remain off limits for American ground forces. Now he's crossed his own red line.
"Obama's announcement Friday that he was deploying up to 50 U.S. special operations troops into northern Syria to assist in the fight against the Islamic State group is the kind of incremental move that has defined his second-term Mideast strategy."
With the fall of the Soviet Union, it was thought that Russia and the West (and especially the US) would finally reconcile their difference. Alas, this has not happened. Tensions remain high between Russia and the US, and seem to be worsening overall.
Here again, and as in the Middle East, we find the US blundering repeatedly in managing its relationship with Russia. Just one day after Russian prime minister Vladimir Putin observed that a new "Cold War" had developed between Russia and the West, US Senator John McCain accused Russia of using the war in Syria "as a live-fire exercise" for its military and, concurrently, as a means of increasing its footprint in the Middle East. McCain spoke at the Munich Security Conference in Germany, criticizing Russia's role in the Syrian civil war. He stated that "Mr. Putin is not interested in being our partner" and that he wants to "shore up the Assad regime." He further stated that Putin "wants to re-establish Russia as a major power in the Middle East … he wants to turn Latakia province into a military outpost from which to harden and enforce a Russia sphere of influence – a new Kaliningrad, or Crimea – and he wants to exacerbate the refugee crisis and use it as a weapon to divide the trans-Atlantic alliance and undermine the European project.
Also at the Munich Security Conference and just a day prior to McCain making his comments, Secretary of State John Kerry said that Russia's strikes in Syria had been mostly "against legitimate opposition groups."
Secretary Kerry's statement in February 2016 came in stark contrast to what he had stated about six months prior. In July 2015, State Department spokesman Mark Toner stated that:
"The Secretary doesn't agree with the assessment [by John McCain] that Russia is an existential threat to the United States…. Certainly we have disagreements with Russia … but we don't view it as an existential threat."
One must ask, which is it? Is Russia a threat? Or is it not?
Similar confusion has resulted from Obama's policy in Egypt. In 2012, the president urged the Egyptian military to stay out of politics during the so-called Arab Spring, when several Islamist movements seized governmental power in various Arab countries. He also supported the Muslim Brotherhood's brief rise to power in Egypt under the leadership of Mohamed Morsi. Roughly six years ago, Morsi delivered a speech to Egyptians urging them to hate Jews and to teach their offspring to hate Jews and Zionists. In a television interview a few months after that speech, he used the phrase "these bloodsuckers who attack the Palestinians, these warmongers, the descendants of apes and pigs." He also went on to say that "the land of Palestine will not be freed except through resistance" and then praised Hamas as an extension of the Muslim Brotherhood.
Shortly after this speech during a 15 JAN 13 White House press conference, a spokesman for President Obama downplayed the anti-Semitic rhetoric by Morsi. While "strongly condemning" Morsi's rhetoric, White House spokesman Jay Carney stated that "has demonstrated in word and deed his commitment to Egypt's peace treaty with Israel.… He obviously worked with us to resolve … a ceasefire … in the Gaza conflict last year." Carney also said that the Obama administration feels that its relationship with Morsi is "about action … about deeds" and followed these words with a weak rebuke, stating that Morsi "should make clear that he respects people of all faiths, and that this type of rhetoric is not acceptable or productive in a democratic Egypt."
Unfortunately, the policy blunders did not end there. On 3 JUL 2013, then-Egyptian army chief General Abdel Fattah al-Sisi led a coalition to topple Morsi after mass anti-Morsi and anti-Muslim Brotherhood demonstrations. The mass demonstrations culminated with the installation of General Sisi as president of Egypt.
Shortly thereafter Sisi began a crackdown on political dissidents and opponents. His security forces arrested thousands of people including opposition members, and in one day gunned down about 1,000 pro-Morsi protesters. In response to these actions Obama said that "we can't return to business as usual. We have to be very careful about being seen as aiding and abetting actions that we think run contrary to our values and ideals." The Obama administration then announced that it was cutting off military and economic aid to Egypt, calling the Morsi's ouster a military coup and refusing to legally recognize Sisi as the legitimate president of Egypt.
It was later revealed by Egyptian Member of Parliament Tawfik Okasha that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was called upon to mediate between Sisi and Obama. It was also revealed that fierce discord broke out within the Obama administration just before a decision was made on the policy the US would take toward the Sisi regime. On the one hand, White House aides such as Ben Rhodes and Samantha Power urged President Obama to send military and economic aid to Egypt on the condition that Sisi could show progress on human rights. On the other hand, Secretary of State Kerry along with then-Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel (and his successor, Ash Carter) recommended withholding aid.
The ensuing months-long debates on what to do surely left Sisi in a state of paranoia and confusion about the Obama administration's true intentions. Finally, Obama gave in. A former senior administration official who was part of the debates stated that "we caved." Obama called Sisi and released the cash transfers and F-16s he had previously agreed to, and ended the threats of cutting off the $1.3B aid packages that the US sends Egypt every year. Obama and Kerry urged Sisi to improve his record on human rights and help in reducing the expanding IS footprint. Not surprisingly, Sisi did neither.
In the end, speechwriter-turned-national security aide Ben Rhodes best summarized the situation when he stated that "we're in that sweet spot where everyone is pissed off at us."
Last but not least, the US-Israel relations have taken a decided turn for the worse under the Obama administration. In late 2015, for example, Congress passed the Trade Facilitation and Trade Enforcement Act of 2015. It was designed to stop boycotts and other forms of economic warfare against Israel. On 24 February 2016, President Obama signed the bill into law. However, like other policy matters, he showed duplicity on that matter. During the signing of the bill, he stated that he objected to parts of the law that oppose boycotts of Israeli enterprises on the West Bank and the Golan Heights. While a bill, once signed, is signed in whole and becomes law, there is the occasional "signing statement" that a president may make in which he informs the signatories that he does not wish to enforce certain parts of that law. This in and of itself sends a rather conflicting message to Israel and creates the perception that the Obama administration is seeking to weaken it.
Closing Thoughts
NEC-SE has made efforts to present readers with a link analysis on various foreign policy matters. It is up to readers to formulate positions based on these facts. However, what is clear is that the current administration as well as US policymakers on both sides of the aisle have sent conflicting messages to the rest of the world and have ceded US footprint to competitors. With such a dizzying sequence of foreign policy missteps and miscalculations, is it any wonder why other regional and global powers do not respect the United States, or at the very least, view it with suspicion? How can the United States continue to function as a leader of the world community when the world community does not respect it?

Skycore's 'Tap to Like' uses NFC, Facebook to reach consumers
Boston-based mobile marketing provider Skycore has released a new solution that enables brands to use NFC smart posters to build a following on Facebook.
The "Tap to Like" solution enables consumers to tap their NFC phones against in-store smart posters and labels to instantly "Like" the brand on Facebook. Skycore also offers a QR code-based version, "Scan to Like," for those without NFC phones.
According to Skycore, the solution's "drag & drop" interface enables marketers to simply add Facebook's Like and other social media widgets, such as Facebook's Share, Subscribe, Comment, Login, Register and Facepile features, to their custom mobile landing pages.
Once the marketing materials are distributed, companies can track the location and source of each Like and modify their landing pages accordingly.
"The ideal time to ask consumers to Like you is when they should 'like' you the most – after a good meal, a fun day of shopping, a live performance or virtually any positive brand experience," said Rich Eicher, CEO and founder of Skycore. "Our goal is to give marketers the tools to engage with customers in the real world and effectively track the results of those efforts.

The 2016 Cabernet opens with a nose of sandalwood and fig. On the palate, the rich fruit predominates, supported by soft oak tannins and notes of leather and pipe tobacco.
Wine Profile
Vineyard Notes
Located in Washington's acclaimed Horse Heaven Hills AVA, Alder Ridge Vineyard was originally planted in 1997 and remains one of the most reputable vineyards in the Columbia Valley. The site is known for exceptionally long hang times, due to the moderating effect of the river on summer heat spikes and winter freezes.
Food Pairing Notes
Cabernet is a perfect pairing for rich red meat dishes. The rich 2016 vintage would be a great match for roast beef.

St. Andrews State Park
Along the beach at St. Andrews State Park
About three miles east of Panama City Beach you'll find the 1,200-acre St. Andrews State Park. The park offers 2.5 miles of white sand beach with bicycling, boating, birding, fishing, canoeing, kayaking, hiking, scuba diving, swimming, snorkeling and wildlife viewing. There's also a campground with full hookups. This is a popular place so you might want to call ahead and make reservations in the summer. The park also has a visitor center with concessions and interpretive exhibits.
This is a former military reservation and the boat ramp, jetty and two fishing piers are leftovers from those days (although they have been kept up by Florida State Parks). There are also two nature trails winding around through the coastal plant communities that offer some excellent opportunities for bird watching.
Day use is from 8 am to sundown, 365 days a year. To get there, go 3 miles east of Panama City Beach on US Highway 98, then go south on Thomas Drive (Highway 3031). Follow that to Highway 392, then go left to the park entrance.

Oral care matters a lot as it is related to our physical beauty, health, and aesthetic purposes. When your oral health is good then it boosts your confidence and you can smile and talk with full confidence. So, our doctors highly recommend getting routine dental checkups for both men & women. The time period between every checkup may vary for everyone. If you want to know the important aspects of this treatment, keep reading.
What is Meant By Routine Dental Checkups?
Routine dental checkups refer to the visits that you make to your dentist just to make sure if everything is going accurate or you need any treatment to keep your oral health maintained.
Why do I Need a Dental Check-up?
You and every other person need to get a dental check up on a regular basis. It allows your dentist to get facts about your oral health. After the assessment, he will be able to let you know more about your dental health. If you have a problem and you just ignore it or leave it untreated, then it may cause more difficulties in the future. So, why don't you seek treatment early or better yet prevent it (if possible)? All this can happen by visiting your dentist and caring for your teeth.
Am I a Good Candidate?
Whenever you are going for any kind of treatment, you should adhere to the fact if you are a good candidate or not. Hence, everyone is a good candidate for routine dental check-ups. Even if you haven't visited your dentist for a long time, still you can visit him anytime.
Do I Need to Prepare?
Well, you don't need to do something special to prepare for your regular dental checkup. All you need is to visit your doctor to know if your teeth and gums are healthy or you need any specific treatment for them.
How the Procedure is Performed?
During each session, your dentist will perform the following steps.
- Examination of your gums, teeth, and overall mouth is performed.
- Know your overall as well as oral health. Knowing medical history is important.
- Ask if you have any presenting complaints.
- Ask your diet plan and advice you regarding your diet and lifestyle habits that can help you in maintaining your oral health.
- The date of your next visit will be decided.
What To Do After The Procedure?
After getting the routine checkup, you need to follow the instructions of your doctor. If he has suggested any treatment, then you should get it on time. Furthermore, if your teeth and gums are healthy then just follow preventive instructions as described by your dentist.
Results and Advice
After the completion of your dental exam, our expert surgeon will let you know what has exactly happened to your mouth and teeth. After that, he will provide you advice regarding what's next. At times, you may need to go for another appointment to get a procedure done. Hence, at times, your problem can be small that can be reduced through home care, so he will provide you the ways. You need to listen to your dentist carefully and follow the advice.
Future Appointments
At the end of your session, our dentist will provide you the date of the next appointment. It is the most effective way to make sure that you will not forget your next visit. Even if you are in good oral health and follow the advice of the dentist, but still there is no better way to avoid oral issues except getting your mouth monitored and cleaned by a board-certified dentist.

CJ was trying to make a curried potato risotto and he wanted to add sugar to it, but he confused his sugar with salt. We see CJ take a taste of his dish from the saucepan and go, "Bleaah!" He examines the saucepan intently. Howie tosses mandarin oranges in a skillet and tells us he was trying to do a quick sauce, but the oranges fell apart. Time ticks down. Howie puts his mandarin oranges in a cocktail glass on a plate and tells us, "I realized I wasn't at all happy with any of the stuff." Howie dumps the contents of the cocktail glass back in the skillet and turns the glass upside down on the plate. Dude, it's totally the culinary equivalent of laying down the king in chess. I know I give Howie a hard time for seasoning his dishes with his own sort of Brow BAM, but I guess we should be happy that at the very least, he's not going commando in his pants and roasting his chestnuts like Ramsay. Time's up.
Padma and Michael start with Sara and her free-form ravioli stuffed with white beans and sweet peas sitting on a pureed tomato sauce and topped with crispy shallots. See, that sounds pretty damn good to me, so I'm completely confused when Padma takes a bite and says, "It's not as bad as I thought it would be." Sara boggles. Moving on to the Brians, who are fidgeting with themselves, the judges are hurriedly told, "I had the canned meat aisle. Really lit up when I saw the Spam." As O'Brian came down from the canned food aisle with the two cans of Spam in his hands, he did not know that the skin of his face had become radiant while he conversed with the MALARKEY. Heh. Padma's face sort of freezes, but she turns to Michael and asks if he's ever had Spam. Nope, never eaten it, never cooked with it. The Brians -- I think it's Bryan, judging by the speed-talking -- quickly explain, "Um, so what we did was we sautéed the Spam. And I have nice little Spam and eggs. Corned beef hash with some fried onions and I did a little balsamic reduction to kind of sweeten it all up." Michael tells him, "Good job."
Dale presents his Ramen noodles with hominy, black beans, queso fresco, and a fried egg. Dale, I love you, but that looks and sounds pretty gross. Dale goes on that he added some hot salsa to his "really spicy Mexican breakfast." "That's got a little kick," Michael observes. "Oh, yeah," Padma agrees weakly. Wow, there's something about her delivery there that is so hysterical. Maybe her acting coach really did pay off! "Thank you," Padma adds in the same weakened tone, half-laughing. Dale points the way to the water, and Padma coughs as she tries to sip from a bottle. Guess she's not a phaal phan. Dale stands there, getting red and grinning sheepishly. Their palates doused, the judges arrive next at CJ's station, who explains, "I had the aisle with everything pickled and pre-made salad dressing." "Not bad," Padma shrugs, emoting like hell. Anyway, CJ has a curried potato risotto with a bitter orange marinade, and we'll just stop right there -- exactly what aspect of the curried potato risotto needed to be marinated? He also has blanched leeks with hot banana peppers. CJ adds, "I will warn you, however, that I sweetened my potato risotto with salt, so it's not as sweet as I'd like." Padma is confused and tries to work it out, but CJ interrupts her and says, "Well, let's just go for it and we'll see what happens here." The Brians and Sara are loudly cracking up. "Have fun with it, Padma -- here we go!" CJ cajoles. "I want him to take a bite first," Michael says, handing his fork to CJ. "I've taken quite a few, my friend, and I'm not going back," CJ laughs. Michael scoops up a taste, commenting, "I must say, it looks a bit of a mess." However, after he tastes, we don't get to see what he thinks. Hee -- that was pretty damn funny as well.
