The remains of over 3,000 drug cartel victims were found in a mass grave in northern Mexico recently. The bodies were apparently placed in acid before the criminals burned them and then cut them into small pieces with shovels.

An anonymous tip recently led to the discovery of a mass grave containing the remains of at least 3,000 people in northern Mexico. In the area, turf wars between the Sinaloa Cartel and Los Zetas crime group have been raging. The remains indicate that the bodies were covered in acid, burned and then cut into small pieces with shovels.
Activists from Victims for their Rights in Action (Vida), an organization that helps find people who have disappeared due to the cartel wars, arrived at the scene after receiving information about an "extermination center" where crime organizations bury their victims.

According to one of the activists, the number of victims is much higher than 3,000. "It's just that no organized search has been conducted because the government has yet to decide," he added. Vida spokesperson Silvia Ortiz, who last saw her missing daughter in November 2004 when she was 16, also participated in the unofficial search.
Since 2015, when Vida was founded, more than 90,000 bodies of drug cartel victims have been discovered in over 40 areas throughout Mexico.

This guide will walk you through a basic, one-box installation of FTK, using PostgreSQL. For more detailed installation steps, such as using a different database, using a multi-box setup, or setting up distributed processing, please refer to the guides and documentation on the FTK Download Page.
Obtaining the Software
The newest FTK and KFF ISOs can be downloaded from http://accessdata.com/product-download/digital-forensics. The ISOs can be mounted with drive emulation software (e.g. winCDEmu) or burned to DVD using a program capable of burning ISO images (e.g. ImgBurn). After downloading the ISO, you should verify the MD5 of the downloaded file to confirm the download completed successfully.
The software requires a valid license to run, which can be obtained by contacting 800-574-5199 or email@example.com.
Hardware Considerations
In depth hardware recommendations can be found in the AccessData System Spec Guide.
To maximize performance, AccessData recommends the following:
- At least 2 GB RAM per logical CPU core (e.g. an 8-core machine should have at least 16 GB of RAM). The minimum RAM must not be less than 1 GB per core.
- Keep the database storage, temp space, case folders, and evidence on separate disks to maximize I/O throughput.
- Avoid resource-intensive third-party applications that may compete for hardware resources.
Note: If disk space depletes while processing a job, the job and case data may become corrupted.

OOC: My plan: Investigate, flip the Masked Carnival-Goer, then... Zoey can use the Abbess to move to the Basilica as well. Does it matter who goes first?
OOC: Hmmm. If Zoey misses her attack twice she'll lose 4 sanity! I reckon that she should Evade then draw a card...
Edit: Just thought that if Zoey evades now, in Upkeep her Cross will ready and Salvatore will Engage...
OOC: I wanted it to be true--the power of wishful thinking. Okay, Zoey loses 2 sanity and Guard Dog returns to her hand.
OOC: Good luck!
Clue edited in.
OOC: Before I update Zoey's stats I looked at her phase 5 and noticed that I forgot Salvatore's initial attack--when I flipped the Masked Carnivale-Goer, so that's an additional 2 sanity loss! This plus the move from Bridge of Sighs would drive Zoey insane... she could sacrifice Guard Dog's sanity back at the bridge?
OOC: Those deep ones--they're mad for it!
Okay here goes, but there is so much going on it's hard to keep track of everything. Guard Dog loses his one sanity at Bridge of Sighs and is not around to take damage or bite back at Don Lagorio at San Marco Basilica; therefore Zoey takes 2 damage (7 health and 1 sanity).
OOC: Nice!
OOC: That would be a move to Bridge of Sighs.
OOC: Zoey's plan: Fight Writhing Appendage and Don Lagorio.

Matthew Shepard Act Arrives in Congress
The Matthew Shepard story is in the news again, this time as part of the push for positive change in protecting people from hate-motivated violence. Clergy from Wyo. have just returned from Washington, D.C. where they talked about the recently-introduced "Matthew Shepard Act," which would help local law enforcement investigate and prosecute hate crimes. Retired hospital chaplain Bob Spencer is with Wyoming Equality. He just returned from the capitol, where he has been promoting the bill, and he likes how it helps local law enforcement deal with hate crimes.
"It would open up the FBI and federal laboratories, and also some funding for local governments."
The bill would also allow the Department of Justice to investigate and prosecute certain bias-motivated crimes based on the victim's actual or perceived sexual orientation, gender, gender identity or a disability. Current law only includes race, color, religion or national origin.
Spencer adds that there's pending legislation that would update federal laws on workplace discrimination, a type of discrimination he calls subtle but powerful.
"There's already an Employment Non-Discrimination Act, but it doesn't cover GLBT people, and it doesn't cover a lot of people with disabilities."

There's no greater honor for a business than to be told by its customers that it's doing a great job. And that's why the team at Whittle Springs Golf Course in Knoxville feels very honored to have recently been awarded the Readers' Choice award for Best Public Golf Course by the Knoxville News-Sentinel.
"Myself and the entire staff are extremely excited about this accolade and are looking forward to great things in 2015," said Whittle Springs general manager Rusty Howell.
Whittle Springs underwent a course renovation in 2014, including a total rework of the putting surfaces, growing Champion Bermuda grass. It was a big upgrade for Knoxville's first public course, which, after 75 years, is still a great test for golfers from all over town and throughout East Tennessee.

A short list of the principles that guide my therapy.
My therapy work is guided by a couple of principles.
1. First, I believe that every person deserves to be understood.
2. Secondly I believe that whatever concern brings a person to therapy usually has a long history and a development.
3. Therefore, I practice therapy as a joint attempt to understand that unique person in the context of the history and development of their particular concern keeping in mind the goals for which that person entered therapy.
4. As understanding of our self at a deeper level evolves, we can then begin to the arduous task of looking at our self and our life and asking "what does this mean?"
5. We are them ready to ask the "what shall I do?" question. This takes time, patience and courage.
6. Lastly, but most importantly, I believe that good relationships heal the damage that bad ones did. This is the essence of therapy and hopefully of all of our significant relationships.

Our son does not live in the same city that we do, so after the first two days of Sukkoth were over, he returned to his home and my wife and I were left searching, questioning, wondering if this was real or a dream.
Who could we turn to? Who could we trust? Who could guide us? Who had answers? Is there an organization that caters to the Jewish community? Is there a self-help group that can guide us through these times and answer our questions?
The only organization that I could find was PFLAG (Parents and Friends of Lesbians And Gays). But this is an international group that is primarily non-denominational.
In terms of Orthodox Judaism and homosexuality I came up short. The only link that I could find was the work done by Rabbi Steven Greenberg. I found his email address at CLAL, the organization where he works. I wrote him, asking him some questions, but I did not get a reply. I assumed that because it was Chol Ha-Moed he might be away and not answering his emails.
So many questions. No place to turn.
My wife and I would lie awake and relive our life with our child from childbirth to this day, wondering how we missed the signs and signals. Many nights I cried myself to sleep with such a deep sorrow that our son had to suffer by himself. For how many years did he live in turmoil and question his self-worth, his religiousity, the acceptance or rejection by his parents, siblings, friends. If he would have been physically ill, we would have been by his side, helping him get through his ailment.
But we were not there for him when he needed us the most.

From Betsy Johnson to Roberto Cavalli, one of the hottest trends for summer is the Grecian inspired maxi skirt! My go-to maxi style is a high-waisted extra long silhouette, as this synchs the waste, and one of the best aspects of this floor length skirt is that it lengthens the body to give you that "legs for days" look. Legs for days and a tiny waste? Sign me up!! Unfortunately, if you're at all like me, Betsy and Roberto are a bit out of the budget, but check out these fabulous options that will keep you rocking your street runway, and still eating three meals a day!
For some fashion eye candy, check out this high waisted maxi skirt by Hinge, that also happens to come in a shade of this season's hottest color: Paprika! Pair it with sky-high wedges and jaws will drop. What's even more exciting is that this little number is currently ON SALE at Shop.Nordstrom.com. As always, click the photo to head there.
For a less expensive option, try this maxi from Forever 21 in light blue. Pair it with some strappy sandals for a cute hippy-chic look.
Nervous about going floor length? Go for a hi-low style to ease your way in. One of my fav's for the season is this Sanctuary number in "Minty", which is ALSO on sale at Shop.Nordstrom.com! Pair with funky heels for a night on the town, or keep is casual with Grecian sandals – either way, be ready for some envious stares.
For a less expensive, but completely fabulous option, check out this abstract hi-low option from Forever 21. Make a bold statement by adding a bright shoe, or for a less-is-more look, stick to a black heal or flat.
With these looks, you'll be set for a chic summer filled with BBQs, rooftop patios, date nights, and girls nights, all while looking young and fabulous.

The first time it happened was when I had the genuis idea to combine several favourite foods into a new meal. Potatoes were loved by one kid, tolerated by the other. Hummous and salsa were both gobbled with abandon at any opportunity. TMD invented the jacket/baked potato with hummous and salsa years ago, so I knew how tasty it was. I was so excited to see their faces light up with love for the dish.
Instead, Snort looked at me like I was offering him dog shit smothered in cigarette ashes. Coconut wasn't much better.
Oh, folks, the sheer falacy that if your kid likes A and B, then when you combine A and B into a new dish they will LOVE it. #incorrect #youfoolmother #whybothertrying
It happened this week again, with tortillas, shredded cheese, and black beans heated, rolled up, and then cut into smaller pieces. Oh HELL no. Beans and MELTED CHEESE? That shit ain't right, Mama, how can you mess with our palates this way?
I tried again. Pizzadillas with a sprinkling of black beans. 'Oh NO, beans!' Snort exclaimed, picking each bean out and then shoving the rest of the thing in his mouth.
While baby led weaning has given them superb food handling skills, cutlery and glasses skills years beyond their age – I don't know if it's made them non-picky. Coconut WILL eat anything – if she tries something and doesn't like it, she will just continue and continue to eat it, even if it means spitting it out after every bite. Snort, on the other hand, can tell the difference between the sodium-laced canned lentil soup (yum!) and the healthy organic homemade slow cooked lentil soup that looks and smells IDENTICAL to the canned stuff in one glance (poison! I will not try it!).
Bottom line: there is no point in me trying to be creative at this point. While it will result in the awesomeness of me having five spartan black bean burritos to myself, it also means my kids end up starving.
Beans on toast? DELICIOUS. FEED US MORE. WE CANNOT GET ENOUGH.
Creative dish with added protein? WHORE. HOW DARE YOU? WE KICK DIRT ON YOUR EFFORTS.
Thus ends this public service announcement.

Websites that are likely to be hit by the 'map tax' include travel firms, hotel chains and big corporations that use Google Maps to direct customers to headquarters, destinations and tourist hotspots.
So, the question is, how much will companies pay for the map privilege? Word on the web is that Google will charge $4 per 1,000 views in excess of the daily limit.
Google denies reneging on its 'do no evil' mantra with the charge, insisting that it 'will only affect 0.35% of users'. It has also given Google Maps users a two-month jump on the charge to allow high users to change supplier if necessary. 'We understand that the introduction of these limits may be concerning,' said Thor Mitchell, Google Maps product manager.
Google does have a history of imposing charges for high levels of app usage. Gmail customers looking to expand their mailboxes pay $5 for an extra 20GB of space (1TB costs $256).
Google argues that the charge will help to fund increased development of its Google Maps technology: 'We need to secure its long-term future by ensuring that even when used by the highest-volume for-profit sites, the service remains viable,' says Mitchell.
Google's monetisation of the Maps app is evidence of further diversification away from traditional search revenues. Clever old Google is hedging its bets. Let's see what it slaps a price tag on next - 'pay a penny per search'?

Mounties say a prolific offender has been arrested and is facing firearms charges after Surrey RCMP located a stolen vehicle in Surrey on March 13.
Surrey resident Robert Leo Jones, 35, is facing numerous charges including possession of property obtained by crime; carrying a concealed weapon and related prohibited weapons offenses; unauthorized possession of a firearm; unauthorized use of credit card data; driving while prohibited and breaches of several court orders.
Police say he was also wanted in outstanding warrants other unrelated charges.
"At the time of his arrest, Jones was also allegedly in possession of a loaded 9mm handgun and ammunition," according to a Surrey RCMP release. "Investigators also located and seized a quantity of suspected illicit drugs, credit cards and other items believed to be stolen property."
The arrest was made by Surrey RCMP's Auto Crime Target Team, according to a release, after a white Jeep Cherokee was reported stolen out of Vancouver on March 11.
Police say he was arrested "safely" with help from Surrey's Gang Enforcement Team and was "allegedly in possession" of the vehicle.
Staff Sergeant Glenn Atkins, Acting Proactive Enforcement Officer, said prolific offenders "tend to be responsible for a majority of auto thefts, so arrests like this can have a significant positive impact on property crime in the community at multiple levels."
"We are pleased that this investigation has resulted in both the recovery of a stolen vehicle, and the seizure of an illegal firearm," added Atkins. "Stolen vehicles are often used in to facilitate other offences. This arrest and contraband seizure represents a disruption in a continuing string of property related offences."

OK OK… I do not really mean not to believe in Realtor or any other advisors, unless of course they provide you with really bad advice, such as the three mistakes outlined in the following paragraphs. Many Realtors learn how to value property and could be an excellent asset (especially those that concentrate on property investors), however the unfortunate the fact is that lots of investors and agents make these common errors:
This really is probably the most common error which i see. In some instances a bed room will prove to add value but normally you can't rely on it. If your house has more bedrooms chances are bigger and also the large house is worth more, however the bed room is not adding the worth, the sq footage is. If two houses are identical size and something comes with an additional bed room it's missing another thing OR has much smaller sized rooms, that will deter some buyers. It's essentially a wash for valuation purposes. The main one exception for this is that if the home doesn't comply with the area. For instance, when the entire neighborhood is 2 or 3 bedrooms and you've got a 1 bed room, it really should increase the value of give a bed room, even if you're maintaining your house exactly the same size. I'd be cautious during these rare cases since it is difficult to understand how much value a bed room will really add. So when you're searching at the comps, consider the size and never the amount of bedrooms.
This doesn't hold true for bathrooms. Bathrooms will more often than not add value.
A less frequent, but more devastating error which i see is by using a cost per sq . ft . model to value a house. Many agents get this to mistake. The mistake is by using a typical cost per sq . ft . and multiply time by how big the home you are attempting to value. It's not a good idea to make use of this method, particularly if your property is around the big or small size to have an area. Consider it. Is really a 2,000 sq . ft . house well worth two times over a 1,000 sq . ft . house that could be nearby? The region brings a particular selection of values that houses fall in and also the lot values should bond with identical regardless of what size home is onto it. Utilizing a cost per sq feet model doesn't take into account all.
It is a fact you need to adjust for size, because bigger homes carry more quality, but you can easily mess the adjustment up. The easiest method to do that would be to dig to your comps and obtain a concept for that needed adjustment. This is very tricky since the value per sq . ft . decreases because the homes get bigger. It's a victorious one never to purchase the largest or tiniest house within an area, however if you simply do, make use of a very conservative adjustment for size. One guideline that I love to me is 1/3rd from the average cost per sq . ft . because the size adjustment. This really is pretty near to average, so it's nice however is a guide and isn't science.
Bear in mind the adjustments which i pointed out are over the ground adjustments. Basements don't carry exactly the same value. Actually, it's normally worth under half of the aforementioned ground sq footage. For instance, inside a nice area an above ground adjustment may be $90.00 above ground but basements on the bottom might simply be worth a spinal manipulation of $30.00 per finished sq feet. Irrrve never have understood this if finished it's functional/livable space and individuals love basements. I threw in the towel attempting to realise why the basement has little value and also have just recognized it. You don't have to realise why it is a fact as lengthy you may already know it is a fact and employ that to assist develop a precise value.
Compare non similar style homes without any adjustment
That one makes me laugh after i listen to it. The biggie which i see here's evaluating the ranch or rambler style the place to find a house with stairs, just like a bi-level or 2-story. The home without any stairs is definitely worth more. You have to consider yourself because the buyer and just what a purchaser want. Another common illustration of this error is evaluating older homes to newer homes. Actually, we simply required a phone call today from the client which was evaluating her the place to find a never been resided internally one neighborhood over. These were almost identical in dimensions and were inside a quarter of the mile to one another, only one is all about 3 decades old and something only agreed to be built. You may not believe that someone would purchase a used home for the similar cost they are able to customize the home for? The newer house is more vital, so it is advisable to not really use that comp but if you want to utilize it, make sure to adjust for that age.

An annual parade complete with paper clocks and samba bands resulting in a bonfire on the beach and fireworks. Thankfully it wasn't too chilly and my hands were warm enough to snap a few photos..

Summer means two things in the Lieb house peaches and ice cream. And the combination of the two equals the ultimate summer treat, peach ice cream.
Joe and I received an ice cream maker as a wedding gift from Joe's parents along with his mother's ice cream recipe. It's more of a custard recipe but you can adapt it to make almost any flavor of ice cream. I've made plain vanilla, chocolate chip, cherry vanilla and many more.
Here is my favorite peach ice cream recipe… I hope you enjoy.
Peach Ice Cream
- 1 Quart Whole Milk
- 1 Quart Half & Half
- 5 Eggs
- 2 Cups Sugar
- 2 Tbs Flour
- 1/2 Pint Whipping Cream
- 1 Tsp Vanilla
- 3-4 Peaches
- Combine milk and half & half in a double broiler and scald
- Beat together eggs, sugar, and flour.
- Add a bit of the milk mixture to the egg mixture to temper the eggs.
- Add the egg mixture to the milk mixture
- Cook for 25 minutes, stirring occasionally
- Pour into a large bowl, cover with wax paper and cool.
- When ready to freeze add the whipping cream and vanilla to the mixture
- Pour into your ice cream maker and follow the ice cream maker's directions. So far you're just making vanilla ice cream, the peaches come soon.
- While your ice cream is churning fill a pot with water and bring to a boil. Add the peaches making sure they are completely covered in water and blanch them for 40 seconds. Using a slotted spoon remove the peaches and immediately place them in an ice bath and let them cool for about 1 minute. Remove from water, pat dry and remove the skin from the peaches.
- Cut peaches into small bite size pieces.
- When the ice cream maker is nearing the end of churning (it will sound like it's struggling to churn) add the peaches and let churn for a few minutes.
- Remove ice cream from maker and eat immediately or store in an air tight container and place in freezer to harden.
I prefer chunks of peaches in my ice cream which is why I add them at the end, if I were to add them at the beginning the ice cream would be more peach flavored with no noticeable chunks.

For random ability selection in my code I iterate over ability slots 0 through 23 and check if they can be leveled to select a valid one. Code below
CanAbilityBeUpgraded() works correctly with the exception of "Talents". It does correctly enable talents as possible upgrades starting at level 10 (not listed as upgradable before that) but it list all of them at 10.Code:function U.GetAbilities(hUnit, bCanLevelUp) local bCanLevelUp = bCanLevelUp or false local ret = {} -- Slots range from 0 to 23 according to Valve documentation for i=0,23 do local hAbility = hUnit:GetAbilityInSlot(i) if hAbility then if bCanLevelUp then if hAbility:CanAbilityBeUpgraded() and not hAbility:IsHidden() then --print("Adding ", hAbility:GetName()) table.insert(ret, hAbility:GetName()) end else table.insert(ret, hAbility:GetName()) end end end return ret end
The first three errors are:
1) At level 10, only Tier 1 talents should pass the "CanAbilityBeUpgraded()" function, not all Tiers
2) Even after picking a Tier 1 talent, the other (unchosen) Tier 1 talent passes "CanAbilityBeUpgraded()" evaluation, it should not
3) At level 11, even when selected a Tier 1 talent at 10, Tier 2-4 talents all pass the "CanAbilityBeUpgraded()" evaluation, none of them should pass until Level 15 when Tier 2 become available
Another run, my bot randomly picked a Tier 3 talent at level 10 and it consumes the "skill point" but fails to obviously level ability.
You get a `[Server] Client (account 0) tried to execute invalid order (13). Hero does not have any ability points to upgrade the ability.`
This is also a bug, if you try to "level an ability" and the selection is invalid, it should at minimum refund the ability point back.
Bug #4
4) Leveling a talent that you should not be allowed to consume the Ability Point, throws an error, but does not refund the Ability Point
Now, I realize, I can track all this and code around it locally, but I was trying really hard not to make code dependent on any custom handling of abilities.

Full Text of the Excerpt
- the first time that I had been to Highlander and I hadn't seen Jim Dombrowski before. Across the hall, I saw this handsome man with dark brown eyes, you know, Jim looked like St. Francis of Assisi, and so he came up and introduced himself and you know, Kathryn was with me all the time. It was the strangest combination because here I was on one side and she on the other, but we still stayed friends.
- Now, we are talking about dates. This is 1940, and you hadn't met Jim earlier?
- No, I hadn't met him before in my life. I didn't meet him down at the Southern Conference in '38. So, he came over and introduced himself and asked us that if we would like to come up to the Highlander Folk School, he would drive us up for a day or so before we went back to Washington. So, we did. And Jim drove us up and Myles met us and oh, I had never been there before and I just loved it. I adored Zilph ia, you know, Myles's wife who was so beautiful and such a marvelous singer. She was just a wonderful person. But you know all that from Claude, how her father was a coal operator and all. I adored Highlander and I adored the people there, oh, I just loved every minute of it. On Sunday, they sent out word all over the mountains that Kathryn Lewis was there, John L. Lewis's daughter and by God, they came out again. I bet there were two hundred miners there. I don't know whether you have ever seen those Tennessee miners, but they all wear black hats, I never saw a one of them that didn't, they are very silent men, you know, and they never would come inside. They all sat out on the front lawn and Kathryn had to make a little speech, you know and Myles got them something to eat. But not one of them would ever take off their hat or come in the house. Not one of them. Now, she got along with them very well, she knew how to talk to them and so did Jim and Myles. My efforts failed, I can assure you. I would say, "Where are you from?" And "You say that your name is Jones? Now, what Jones are. . . ." (laughter) I am sure that they thought I was some agent of the FBI or whatever. I got very poor response. I had to learn that when you are dealing with people like that, you know, you have to listen. If you talk too much, they are suspicious right off. (interruption while original reel is changed) You see, I identified with the labor movement and it took me a long time to realize that the labor movement didn't identify with me. I remember going to one of the CIO conventions and I was younger and prettier then and was considerably younger and considerably prettier. And I was very earnest and lobbying a great deal. All they wanted to do was take me out and buy me a drink, you know. They wanted to have a good time.
- That wasn't all they wanted.
- Well, that was the first step in that direction anyway. (laughter) I had a terrible shock, you see. I thought that all labor men were going to be great, it was going to be just right down the line in our interests, they were going to be just as interested as I was in getting rid of the poll tax and fighting for the rights of labor. I got the biggest shock of my life to see those fat flunkies sitting around guzzeling booze and chasing women. That's what they did. That's human. It was a great disappointment to me, I lost a lot of illusions.

The River Cover Demonstration Project
Project Overview
The River Cover is a feeder tributary of the Ure, situated on the East side of the Yorkshire Dales National Park. Its drains the local moors before flowing through a picturesque limestone dale, surrounded by ancient woodlands and characteristic extensive dales farms before making confluence with the River Ure 22km downstream.
Throughout the last century the upper reaches of the River Cover have been heavily modified and manipulated in an attempt to increase agricultural yield. In conjunction with moorland drainage this has resulted in the river losing a lot of its natural characteristic. This has led to a river that is not reaching its ecological or hydro-morphologically potential. Moreover, due to drastic improvements in water quality in the tidal Ouse and Humber, since early 2000's Salmon have dramatically increase in numbers within the Ouse system and therefore the River Cover has once again become an important spawning site for Salmon.
The Yorkshire Dales Rivers Trust believe by combining an initiative approach to flood risk management by slowing water down in upland area as well as improving river habitat for all aquatic life we can make a real difference that could be replicated in other similar areas. Together with the fantastic existing work already done in the area, including gripping and reducing stocking level, the upper Cover could be a flagship area.

French white porcelain is dreamy. I think it looks great en masse like in the dresser, above. And the best part of such a collection? It is functional!
The French china on the table setting above is divine! It is perfectly matched with the rough texture of the linen and grey painted table. We have quite a selection of French linen in the store at the moment, and I use it myself daily at home. I read somewhere that French people are often casual with their linen tablecloths, if there are creases, who cares? I like this philosophy...anybody else?
Here is a French tureen or soupiere, as they are called in France. Also, two French porcelain jugs, with swan neck handles and comports, one of a fluted design, the other two plain. All perfect for an elegant or casual table setting.

Fewer women are choosing to have abortions, according to a report by the Guttmacher Institute, a nonprofit organization that has studied abortion rates for more than 30 years. From 1990 to 2005, the total number of abortions in the U.S. fell from 1.6 million to 1.2 million. Despite this drop, the study found that more than 1 in 5 women will have an abortion at some point in her lifetime; however, that rate does not apply equally to all women. Teenagers and young adults ages 20-24 were responsible for much of the decline, while rates increased for women in their 40s. Race also made a difference. In 2004, only 11 out of every 1,000 white women had abortions, compared with 28 per 1,000 Hispanic women and 50 per 1,000 black women.
In good times and bad, science doesn't sleep, and every year brings breakthroughs, setbacks, reasons for worry and reasons for joy. TIME's annual alphabetical roundup of a sampling of those stories gives you an overview of the year behind and a hint of what might be in the one ahead.

WordPress multisite is an Achilles' heel for many WordPress developers, and more so for newbies. Most developers are apprehensive about working with WordPress multisite, not because it's complex, but because they assume it is complex.
WordPress multisite is not something you need to shy away from, because once you embrace it, you can unlock the true power of WordPress.
So, what is WordPress Multisite?
All of us are aware of the potential of a WordPress single site- its application, ease of setup and customization. A single site can serve multiple purposes. For example, you could set up an e-store, an e-learning website, a company website (like this one), and more.
Let's consider you own a restaurant. You want a website built for your restaurant. Without a doubt, you can use WordPress to build the website. WordPress allows you to control your website using a single admin panel. You're restaurant's doing really well, and you want to now branch out to a different country. The food will be the same, but the currency, the language, a chosen few menu items might differ.
All that's well. But what happens to your website?
Do you have to create a second WordPress website? What when you branch to another country? Would that mean you'll have to create a new website every time?
What about managing the sites then? You'll have different admin panels to manage each website. What if there was a way to manage all of your sites from a single point?
Something compact…
Something that will bunch all your sites together in one place, with a one-click option to switch between sites.
Look no further! WordPress multisite is what you need!
Multisite is a WordPress feature which allows you to create a network of sites using a single WordPress installation. This means, you can have multiple sites, but access all of them using a single admin panel.
Do I have to pay for multisite?
Absolutely not! It's completely free! Go ahead, explore it just for the kicks, it won't cost you a dime. A multiple site management system available completely FREE. Pretty cool isn't it?!
Are there any Advantages of WordPress Multisite?
You're kidding me right?! I'm giving you a single point to manage several sites and you want more advantages?! 😀
Here are a few more…
- WordPress provides you a 'Network Activate' feature. With this feature, you can enable plugins and themes across all sites on your network. This enables the plugin with the same settings across all of your sites. Of course you have the option to activate them individually on each site as well.
- Along with your sites, you can manage users of your different sites from a single point.
- You only need a single server for all your sites. Rather than having several dedicated servers, you can have one dedicated server handling all of your sites. This makes it easier to handle and is a cheaper option as well.
- And of course even though all sites are on a single network, you can customize each site the way you want, to make them completely different from the other.
Now the pivotal question arises….
How do I set up a Multisite environment?
Agreed. The term multisite sounds a bit technical. But the actual process of setting up a multisite environment is a cakewalk, even for those of you who do not have much technical knowledge. The only thing you need to do is follow the below simple steps and *Bam* you have your own multisite.
#1 Step One: Configure WordPress for Multisite
You have to start by adding the below code to your wp-config file. You need to connect to your site using an FTP program, and you should find wp-config.php in your root folder.
/* Multisite */ define( 'WP_ALLOW_MULTISITE', true );
You can add the above code at the end of the file or anywhere you prefer. Remember to save the changes made.
#2 Step Two: Create a Network
The previous step enables the 'Network Setup' option in WordPress. When you access your admin panel, you should see the option 'Network Setup' in your Tools menu. Click on that option to go to the 'Create a Network of WordPress Sites' screen.
Fill in the details asked on that page.
#2 Step Three: Create a Network
Once the required details are filled and saved, WordPress will give you some extra code, which you will need to add in two files:
- wp-config file
- .htaccess file (you should find this in your root folder as well)
(Don't worry WordPress will tell you where you need to place the code and where you will find each file. Don't panic)
Save the files and refresh your WordPress dashboard. And there you go! You now have your own WordPress multisite 🙂
Now, from your primary site you'll be able to create sub-sites on your network. So go forth young padawan! Create your multisite network 😀

We're coming into the season when salads get really great. Great lettuce, great cucumbers, great radishes, and great tomatoes getting closer.
So why glop it up with bottled salad dressings? If you're going for something creamy, it's easier and it tastes better to make your own. There are a reason classics like Green Goddess have been classics for decades. They have so much flavor, you don't need to use very much.
Green Goddess, for instance, isn't just incredible when you toss it with salad ingredients, you can do things like use it as a base for chicken or seafood salads. Try it with leftover grilled salmon.
I've tweaked this version a little over the years, particularly swapping convenient anchovy paste for anchovy fillets. Don't skip it, though -- a little bit packs a major hit of flavor that balances out the herbs and mayonnaise.
Green Goddess Dressing
1 cup mayonnaise
1/2 cup chopped flat-leaf parsley (mostly leaves but a few stems are OK)
1/4 cup minced fresh chives
2 tablespoons green onion tops, diced
1 1/2 teaspoons anchovy paste
1 teaspoon vinegar, preferably white wine or sherry
1/4 teaspoon minced garlic (about 1 small clove)
Place all the ingredients in a food processor. Puree until smooth, stopping to scrape down the sides with a rubber spatula. Refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 4 days. If it's too thick to toss with a salad, thin it with a little lemon juice or water if you like.
Yield: About 2 cups.

One Great . . . salad dressing
We're coming into the season when salads get really great. Great lettuce, great cucumbers, great radishes, and great tomatoes getting closer.

The homemade salad dressing I like is pretty simple: 1-3-5.
1 part Dijon mustard
3 parts vinegar (balsamic is great, others work fine as well)
5 parts extra virgin olive oil
Works for any amount, just keep the ratios the same. Heart healthy too (no mayo).

A basic vinaigrette is a fine thing, Archi. But sometimes you want something different, too. Thanks for sharing.

Kathleen,aside from this dressing where would you use anchovy paste? Is there a substitute ingredient?

You can use anchovy paste in pasta sauces.

The Animals and the Children Took to the Streets @ The Holt Festival, Norfolk
I met this production with a degree of innocence and a sense of stepping into the unknown. I conducted a modicum of research on 1927 and was met with a plethora of positive reviews concerning their first, award winning production, Between the Devil and the Deep Blue Sea.
This is only their second production since the company's inception in '05 and their brand of theatre has been met with comparisons to the early work of Tim Burton; entwining cabaret, silent movie, animation and music hall in to a maelstrom of mordant, sardonic performance. This production far exceeded my expectations, and more than lived up to its comparisons to Burton's work.
The play is a beautifully crafted tale set within a dark dystopia and focuses on its melancholic, malcontent inhabitants in an environment characterised by misery, disease and crime. The actors embody a series of characters, aided by animation that brings this dark desolate world to the stage. The performers flawlessly interact with the animation to hilarious effect and this dark fairytale left me desiring more.
The tale focuses on the rebellious Zelda, the daughter of a junk shop owner who is surprised by her daughter's attitude because when she was her age, she was only concerned with 'contracting herpes'. Zelda wants what the seemingly more privileged have and instigates a rebellion, leading an army of children to take over the more affluent parts of town. This leads to a reaction from the mayor of the town to take direct action against the so-called riff-raff by insidiously luring them with sweets that ultimately pacify their ebullient behaviour, thus depriving them of their innocence and condoning them to a life of misery, characterised by their surroundings.
It is the central character of the Caretaker, who I feel stole the performance. Visually, he reminded me of Edward Scissorhands (minus the scissors); pale faced, forlorn and desperate to escape the ominous surroundings but destined to remain in place which ultimately defined him. His delivery was note perfect and he brought laughter every time he was on stage.
If you have the opportunity to see this wonderful performance then make every effort to obtain a ticket. My sole quibble was the performance was not long enough!

Barely are we over the New Year, and our minds return once more three months ahead thanks to the advance solicitations, and the rumours of the large summer events.
Once interesting change is Jim Starlin, famed creator of Thanos and Adam Warlock, has been assigned the writing duties for DC's Stormwatch title. I am interested to see where he will take this title, as although he is renowned for his sci-fi, he has not always been known for that little twist we have grown used to with these characters.
Truth be told, that element of surreality is more a legacy of The Authority than the distinguished history of Stormwatch as a title, but then in the New 52, Stormwatch has rather taken on both roles.
Maybe Starlin is planning a shake-up to stamp his own presence on the title, considering the tag-line is "Team StormWatch is lost in a dimension shift—so what team will rise and take their place?"
Though initially sceptical, (since I have not yet forgiven Mr Starlin for the Infinity War and the Infinity Crusade sequels to the Infinity Gauntlet, two stories that were built around an excellent premise but rather lost a little something in their execution; well, lost a large something in fact), I find with more thought that I am looking forward to see Mr Starlin raise to the challenge.
Zenescope, this summer, seem to be jumping on a whole new bandwagon that this writer is tempted to say is maybe five years or more too late. Then again, if executed in Zenescope's traditional flair and panache, this could be excellent.
Over the last decade, we have seen them all – zombies, vampires, werewolves, (I will not say Oh my! I won't. I won't!). Now, alongside good old-fashioned demons, these things that go bump in the night are being introduced to the worlds of Grimm Fairy Tales in the pages of their next event – Unleashed!
From Teen Wolf to Twilight, Buffy The Vampire Slayer to the <insert noun here> Of The Living Dead, screens both large and small alongside comics have been resplendent with all manner of ghoulies and ghosties. A long and honourable tradition dating back to the earliest days of four-colour printing, we have seen shades of monster from Dark Horse, Avatar, Moonstone, Image as well as the Big Two.
Is it possible to create anything new in this genre that is unique?
Grimm Fairy Tales has managed to take an alternate approach to traditional fairy tales than Bill Willingham's Fables and craft it into a universe of some beauty, one very much possessed of its own identity. To incorporate these more traditional monsters, runs the risk of diluting that special quality.
If you do like your monsters, remember that the Buffyverse is still going strong over at Dark Horse, and I can thoroughly recommend Hack/Slash, which is a title with more depth than its name suggests. For the more surreal monster, DC's Frankenstein Agent of S.H.A.D.E. takes some beating, and we get that treat again tomorrow.
I'm now going to just go and check under my bed. You can never be too careful….

As I've shared a little bit here on this blog and through my editor's notes in Ethanol Today magazine, my husband and I farm with my parents here near Willow Lake, South Dakota, in the northeastern part of the state. We're the fifth generation on the family farm, which was established in 1895. We raise corn, soybeans, wheat, alfalfa, and a few Black Angus cattle. With fewer Americans living on farms, or even having the opportunity to see or visit a farm, the misunderstandings and misconceptions about modern agriculture are growing.
You can see this in many people's lack of basic knowledge about where food comes from, and in conversations surrounding things like ethanol, where people believe that farmers are selling food to be made into ethanol, or that farmers are plowing up all their grassland to plant to corn. Agriculture and ethanol production are much more positive than they are often portrayed by the media, and here we hope to give at least a small glimpse into what happens on your everyday, average family farm.
Spring has arrived, and that means one thing... let's plant!
Actually, there's a lot of work that happens before any planting can begin. With corn, for example, we start thinking about which seed varieties to plant even before last year's crop is harvested. Seed companies have test plots that show new varieties of seed and how they perform, and you can visit them in the fall and get the data you need to make decisions about what to plant on your own farm. We decide on what kind of corn to plant and purchase most of the seed even before year's end.
This picture shows what a corn field looks like just after it's harvested.
This is called stover, and it's the corn stalks and leaves left over after the combine goes through the field to pick the ears of corn. We leave this on the field because the nutrients in the stover are good for the health of the soil, and it also preserves moisture in the soil and prevent erosion -- similar to how mulch works in your garden.
The photo below shows two of our fields -- the left one had corn on it last year, and the right one had soybeans on it last year. The field on the right has just been tilled and is ready for planting.
Since soybeans were grown there last year, we'll plant corn there this year. Likewise, the the corn field will this year get soybeans. Crop rotation is a good way to take care of the soil.
Just like in any business, they're figuring out better ways to do things all the time. Twenty-five years ago, plowing your fields was common practice. Today, research has shown that less tilling is better for the soil, so most farmers use minimum-till or even no-till practices. We go over the fields as few times as possible, which saves time, saves fuel, and keeps the soil quality at its best.
As you can see by the picture, we're facing a rainy forecast, so we're working hard to get field work done before the rain comes. Next week I'll post pictures of the corn being planted.
When I was little, I had a t-shirt that said "Proud to be a farmer's daughter." Today I'm proud to be a farmer's daughter, a farmer's wife, and farmer myself. And I'm proud that some of the corn we grow here goes to make ethanol, which is the cleanest and best fuel choice out there today.

PORTLAND, Maine (AP) _ Maureen Lafferty is anti-fur. Anti-fur in her tub. Anti-fur on her towels. And anti-fur in the drain.
That's why she and the one big ball of fur she does love, Jackson, a yellow Labrador retriever, are patrons of the Portland Dog Wash.
"This is why I don't do this at home," Lafferty said, pointing to big clumps of fur at the bottom of the stainless steel basin.
In a country whose residents spare no expense on their pets, self-service dog washes represent another splurge, allowing dog owners to forgo the indignity of chasing a wet and soapy dog around the house, or across the lawn, along with the messy cleanup.
The trend kicked off more than a decade ago. Now it seems that just about every sizable city has at least one.
In Maine's largest city, the bustling Portland Dog Wash has five tubs, which are disinfected after each wash.
"This setup is much easier than doing it at home," said Lafferty, who wore a standard issue vinyl smock while tending to her 9-year-old dog.
There are more than 70 million dogs in the United States, and they account for a good chunk of the nearly $3 billion pet owners spend each year on grooming and boarding, according to the American Pet Products Manufacturers Association.
Dog washes are a natural as dogs increasingly become part of the family, living inside homes instead of dog houses, eating hoity toity designer pet food, going to doggie day care and traveling with families on vacations.
"I don't think it's a trend that's going to go away," said Blair Smith, who has helped to open three Dirty Dog locations in four years in Austin, Texas. "People are not going to stop spending money on their pets."
The idea was borne out of many a pet owner's frustration.
Washing a dog, especially a big one, is messy. The dog shakes. Dirty, soapy water splashes on the walls. Your knees, your back, or both hurt from kneeling next to the bathtub. Then there's the big lump of dog hair in the drain.
That's what was on the minds of Francisco and Gloria Gamero when they opened their first dog wash 15 years ago in Santa Clarita, Calif. They now have three U-Wash Doggie locations. U-Wash, like Dirty Dog, offers franchising opportunities.
"Up until we opened our store, there was no facility like ours in the United States. Now they're everywhere," said Andres Gamero, the couple's son.
In Portland, Mark and Greg Goodwin got the idea after hearing from a friend about a dog wash in the Baltimore area. "We just dove into it," Mark said.
Their business features waist-high tubs with all the accessories close by � combs, shampoos, conditioner, perfumes, towels, hair dryer. There are eye wipes and ear wipes and even dental wipes with a minty scent.
It's a simple concept. Customers are willing to pay from $8 to $16 � the price is based on the size of the dog � to let the Goodwins sweat the details.
Although some might consider it a splurge, it's far less expensive than taking a dog to a professional groomer. On average, self-service dog washes charge 30 to 50 percent less than the cost of a professional groomer, according to Stephen Mart from PetGroomer.com in Yelm, Wash.
As with any good idea, there are variations on the theme. Some, like California's U-Wash Doggie, offer professional groomers in addition to self-service washes. Others aim even higher, or farther over the top, depending on your point of view.
In Portsmouth, N.H., the Club Canine Dog Wash and Spa lets owners lavish their pets with blueberry facials and bubblebath paw treatments, even canine massage and Reiki, a Japanese stress reduction technique using touch.
"It's a little new agey, I know, but people are doing it for themselves. Because their pets are also part of the family, they're doing it for their pets too," said Stacey Kimberly Rogers, co-owner of the business.
If that seems too serious, dogs can lighten up with a monthly "yappy hour" where they can socialize over a bowl of nonalcoholic, no-fizz, beef-flavored "Happy Tail Ale."
"Fun is the operative word. You've got to have fun," Rogers said.
Mark Goodwin agrees with the idea of having fun, but said reducing stress is important, too. He said he and his brother launched their dog wash idea partly because Mark was feeling stressed out by his primary job as an environmental consultant.
They're trying to keep it fun, even though this is the busy time of the year because it's getting cold outside.
As for Lafferty, she can't imagine any other way of washing her dog and said she'd be at a loss if the Goodwins ever went out of business.
"We'd either find a new place to wash him, or we'd have a really smelly dog. Ultimately, we'd find a new place to wash him," she said.

|Assorted Pocket Squares
Pocket squares (also known as "pochettes" or "handkerchiefs") are perfect; there's not just the variety of colors and styles, but there's also a ton of way to fold them to suit your feeling for the day. If you work at a bank or need to go ultra-conservative, choose a crisp white cotton square and a flat fold. In a sea of suits, you'll stand out - in a good way. If you want to have some fun, pick something with a bold pattern and go with the reverse puff or the dandy.
Among other benefits, pocket squares are really quite inexpensive. Sure, you can drop a couple hundred at Hermes, but with the way they're folded nobody will ever know. For about $20 you can find a good selection at Andrew's Ties. A few more bucks at Brooks Bothers will get you one of theirs. The best place to find them is perhaps at sales or outlet malls. These poor stores stock these items in the hope that someone fashionable still exists on the planet. When they find out they're hopes are dashed, they discount the hell out of them.
There's even more unconventional, and cheaper ways of obtaining good pocket squares. Look for used fabrics that are solids or have small prints. You'll need about 13 to 18 inches of fabric (depending on the weight), square, to pull it off. Take it home, find some matching thread, hand roll the edges, and sew. When sewing, the goal is to sew the bottom of the rolled edge to the flat part of the fabric. The best bet is to buy a pocket square, take it home, and keep it with you to observe how it was sewn. Once you get going, you can pull one off in a little over an hour.
As I mentioned above, there are tons of ways to fold pocket squares. It takes some practice, but after a while you won't need to reference anything, and you'll be able to quickly fold the styles you like. There's lots of guides and even YouTube videos on the topic. Here's a few I found:
- SamHober.com - Guide to folding pocket squares.
- The Art of Manliness - Another guide with a few folds and a video.
- TiedTight.net - Not the best picks, but a few different folds.
- Dabbler.ca YouTube Videos - Flat Folds, Point Folds, Puff Folds
- Be ever so careful when ironing silk pocket squares. It can be done, but you'd best believe in your iron's low temp setting. Don't steam.
- Never ever ever buy the "Shirt, Tie, and Pocket Square Combo Packs". It's like advertising that you have no style. Ties and pocket squares should never match, so this is a huge faux pas.
- Don't be afraid to mix and match patterns. This will give your outfit some interest.
- Colors don't have to match perfectly. The distance between your pocket square and the shirt (or tie) gives you some flexibility in color palate; if it looks close it will work. You want to match minor colors of the pocket square to the shirt or tie, and major colors to the jacket.

How many of us would have thought to commence a company or a business of our own? Honestly many of us would have definitely thought this many times in our life. As most of all are employed, which means we are working to someone or working under some person or a group of companies. In order for us to come up in life, we should start thinking how we can improve ourselves to reach a stage where many people will work under us or rather will be employed in our own company.
There are thousands of concepts to commence a business or company but the challenge is what to select in order to sustain the business and profitability. There isn't any point of commencing a business which we cannot sustain or continue for few years at least. If not it will be a waste of time, money and energy. It is really important to look for a business or a concept which is non-existing and which is really required or important to nowadays trend and to cater requirements of people who are busy with their own day to day activities.
Furthermore, selecting the right business is important as complying to all legal rules and regulation in respect to the country's government. Up on selecting the correct conceptual business at the right time, hiring or getting consultancy from a legal officer is equally important to avoid any future inconveniences. See here for further information regarding cpd for lawyers.
Moreover, if you hire a legal officer to your newly formed business, the legal office is responsible and it is vital to be up to date on all the legalities and regulations. As a company we might have to sponsor the additional seminars or programs or courses which he or she should attend in order to gain knowledge in terms of business side rules and regulations from a legal context which would directly be beneficial to our company's growth and to avoid any penalties or restrictions to our business and operations. It is more often called CLE, which stands for Continuing Legal Education.
On the other hand, getting these legal officers to attend not only lengthy courses but also sponsoring them to attend short term legal programs and seminars are also equally important when we really look deep in to our sustainability in terms of business and profitability. There are mediation CPD related programs and seminars which would educate and update legal officers on all the required legal aspects and any amendments which have been applied by the respective government.
Hence, we as future business men and women, required to always try to select or commence a better business on a timely manner if we are to sustain in the market and to be profitable continually.

Hello there, again!
So… I've been a Kindergarten teacher for just over a month now… and wow… what a blur!!! This is how my life has been…
Lesson planing… teaching… grading… creating… sleeping… stressing… spending money… and getting sick over and over and over again!
All these 5-year-olds have really been reeking havoc on my immune system. I've already taken 4 sick days off from work! I've had a head cold (maybe the flu), lost my voice (may have been laryngitis), had a terrible cough (maybe bronchitis), and now a sore throat (maybe strep). I was on 4 medications at one time and now I'm on a new type of medication because this past week I may or may not have caught strep throat. Last week, almost half of my homeroom class were out sick… Hopefully, I'll become immune to all of these diseases now and won't be sick for the rest of the year!
I've also been working my butt off! I'm very slow when I'm planning and this whole year requires soo much planning! A lot of times, I feel like I'm very much behind. I want what I'm teaching to be awesome so I spend a lot of time and effort on that. However, all the administrative aspects are really weighing me down. All the grading, filing, recording, preparing are overwhelming. I never had to do all this other stuff during my internship and it's a LOT! Just deciding what to assign for homework is time consuming…. I know this year will be my absolute hardest during my teaching career and that things will get easier, but I think the stress is really negatively affecting my health… I have to keep reminding myself to just do the best that I can and that things will turn out.
Back to School night was supposed to be last Wednesday, but a tropical depression came through and it was postponed until this Wednesday. I'll take pictures of my room and post them! I've put a lot of student work up and changed displays and all kinds of stuff since the pictures on my FLICKR account. After this week, I'll hopefully be able to get more into the swing of things.. finally… This week, I also have to input all of my grades into the electronic gradebook since I finally was able to log in for the first time this weekend. So after the push for finishing up all the grades I'm a bit behind on, hopefully I'll be all caught up and able to focus more on the present, future, and blogging…
Today's Silver Lining: Even after all the stress, sickness, and work, I'm still ecstatic and proud about being a Kindergarten teacher!!

With a few surplus moments. I wander towards a spectacular Olympic-plus size, azure blue pool, which I am informed by attentive staff is one of the longest in Phuket. I have no doubt this is indeed true! I make a mental note, my first but not my last, to return to this oasis where I may recharge my batteries by swimming in this tranquil setting, whilst enjoying the unobstructed views out to the Andaman Sea; truly a relaxing oasis.
My buggy has arrived and as I settle in for the short journey to the restaurant, I look up and can see that the hotel rooms are in fact all situated along neatly layered terraces on the face of the hill, cleverly ensuring all offer 180-degree sea views.
On route to the summit, we pass both the spa and also a cosy club lounge with plunge pool, a first for me and my second mental note, a must-visit on a future stay.
We round the last corner and as I disembark and climb a flight of short stone steps, I turn around and take a moment to enjoy what must be one of the most stunning views in Phuket. If I were enamoured and seeking a venue to pop the question, this would certainly be high up my list. The Sunset Grill is perched atop the cliff and as I am welcomed, following the combination of the adventure of the short trip and the heart-stopping views, my anticipation, is as high as this hilltop dining room itself.
The contemporary furnished room has floor to ceiling windows which on a clear night afford some of the most breathtaking views available in Phuket. Jazz playing in the background, a slightly nautical cruise theme pervades; quite enchanting.
I am greeted by charming staff who offer me both the a la carte menu and a gastro degustation. They are also on trend with a creative vegetarian tasting menu, offering several dishes which even interest me, a dyed-in-the-wool carnivore. There is also a carefully curated selection of grape libations, from around the world, available by both bottle and glass.
My starter arrives; one of my personal favourites, a wonderfully innovative foie gras dish with a delicate balance of balsamic and unusually so, liquorice dust. The complex flavours and textures in this dish are almost perfect, the juxta-positioning of the decadent, creamy and rich foie gras lobe countered with the ever so slightly acidic balsamic layered with an aftertaste of aniseed is superlative.
This is followed by Chef's signature recommendation of cold cantaloupe melon soup, scented with Thai basil, the non-veg option featuring crunchy parma ham. Following on from the luxuriant liver, this is a wonderfully light and refreshing continuance.
Main course follows; a tender wagyu beef tenderloin with anchovy mash which with an ever so slightly salty and rich fishiness, surprisingly for me, works well. Steak and anchovy has always been a classic marriage but I was a non-believer till tonight. The dish is accompanied by fresh asparagus, forest mushrooms and a sauce of green peppercorns.
Chef Mario Caramella, originally from Milan joined the Hyatt Regency Phuket Resort in late 2017 as Executive Chef and is certainly pushing the culinary boundaries on the evidence so far this evening.
He now recommends another signature dish of Quail; roasted French quail wrapped in pancetta and stuffed with foie gras truffle potato cream; can I manage another rich in cholesterol dish? I am heartened, no pun intended, by an article I recently read which stated that whilst foie gras does contain a high level of cholesterol, in fact not all the fat contained within is harmful, equally it has a much-reduced impact on blood cholesterol and eating it in moderation is not damaging to one's health. So, I continue with this small bird, a contradiction in itself, tiny yet unexpectedly a real taste bomb, the meat absolutely jam-packed with flavour.
I round off our evening with a flambéed Baked Alaska and a Sabayon with berries and passion fruit; but honestly, despite their evident yumminess, slightly struggling to finish both.
As I head back down the hill, I regret not having booked an overnight stay, perhaps even in a Club room, so I may have relished my continental breakfast whilst languishing in the luxury plunge pool followed perhaps by a few lengths of that wonderfully grand pool (especially needed after the double dose of foie gras!) and then feeling satisfied with my albeit one off exercise regime, even partake of brunch, before making the journey home. Ah… to err is human…there is always a next time…
Chris is a former Michelin Guide Inspector who, following an international career in hospitality spanning 30 years in both the Middle East and Asia, has now settled in Thailand and will contribute a monthly restaurant column.

• -- Charles Smith, 62, is set to drive municipal buses for Broward County, Florida, until he retires in 2020, even though his record includes 14 accidents in a recent five-year period (not enough for discipline, in that, according to contract rules, not more than four were labeled "preventable" in any two consecutive years). The bus drivers' union president told the South Florida Sun-Sentinel that he "can't figure out why" some drivers just get into more accidents than others. Elsewhere in transit news, notorious serial New York "joydriver" Darius McCollum, 50, commandeered yet another bus and was arrested on Nov. 11. He faces jail time, just as he has already served for more than two dozen bus- and train-"borrowing" incidents. (Based on news reports of McCollum over the years, he nonetheless might be a better bus driver than Charles Smith.) [South Florida Sun-Sentinel, 11-20-2015] [New York Times, 11-11-2015]
• The federal government confiscated more property from citizens (through "civil asset forfeiture") in 2014 than burglars did, according to FBI figures publicized by the independent Institute for Justice (and that did not count state and local government seizures, which are not uniformly reported). None of the governments is bound by law to await convictions before exercising seizure rights. (Some of the seized assets must eventually be returned to private-party victims, but news reports abound of suddenly enriched police departments and other agencies being "gifted" with brand-new cars and other assets acquired from suspects never convicted of crimes.) [Washington Post, 11-23-2015]
