4 Vegetarian Christmas Recipes And The Affordable Wines To Pair Them With
Christmas is a pretty tough time if you’re vegetarian, it’s a gammon, tongue, corned-beef fuelled nightmare. But you don’t have to be dropped to the sidelines searching for a spoon of coleslaw or potato salad. Thanks to the South African Mushroom Farmers’ Association, we’ve got four vegetarian Christmas recipes that will be right at home on your Christmas-decorated table. And even if you aren’t vegetarian, these meals are a tasty addition to your festive feast.
Best part? They all use mushrooms – a nutritional and flavourful powerhouse. Mushrooms are jam-packed with potassium which helps remove excess salt from your body and keeps your blood pressure under control. They’re also the only vegetable source of vitamin D, a nutrient linked to a lower risk of cancer, diabetes and hypertension. Plus, they are kilojoule-light – half a dozen large white mushrooms only contains 125kJ – which can help keep the holiday excess and weight gain at bay.
Try these four vegetarian Christmas recipes:
Cranberry & Brie Mushroom Bites
18 portabellini mushrooms
1 wedge/wheel of Brie
1 tbsp fresh thyme
Salt and pepper
2 tbsp olive oil
Fresh dill for serving
For the cranberry sauce:
350g frozen cranberries
½ cup sugar
½ cup water
Zest of one orange
- Preheat oven to 180˚C.
- In a saucepan combine the frozen cranberries, sugar, orange zest and water. Bring to a boil and stir occasionally until all the sugar has dissolved. Reduce heat to low and continue cooking for another 15 min or until the sauce has thickened and sticks to the back of a spoon.
- Remove the stems from the mushrooms. Place a rack on a baking sheet and spread out the mushrooms. Season the cavity with salt and pepper. Spoon a little cranberry sauce into each mushrooms. Cut small chunks of brie and place on top of the sauce. Bake for 5-10 min or until mushrooms are cooked and cheese has melted.
- Once cooked scatter each mushrooms bite with fresh dill and serve straight away.
Pair With: Simonsig Kaapse Vonkel Brut MCC
The wine’s nuttiness merges seamlessly with the brie cheese’s own nutty flavour, while its acidity and rich texture bridge the gap between the tart cranberry sauce and the rich and creamy melted brie. This is an elegant Cap Classique for an elegant canapé that has made it as one of our top choices for vegetarian Christmas recipes.
Portabello & Lemony Ricotta Puff Pastry Tart
1 sheet ready-rolled puff pastry
250g smooth ricotta cheese
1 lemon, zested & juiced
1 handful fresh oregano leaves, chopped
6 large portabello mushrooms
Salt & pepper
Baby greens / rocket for serving
- Place the sheet of puff pastry on a tray lined with baking paper and score a border 2cm in from the edge all the way round. Prick the pastry centre using a fork. Leave to rest in the fridge for about an hour. Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 220˚C with an empty baking sheet in it to get hot.
- When the oven reaches temperature carefully lift up the puff pastry using the baking paper and place it onto the hot tray. Blind bake the puff pastry sheet until golden brown all over. About 20 minutes. Remove from the oven and allow to cool. Press down the centre of the pastry so you are left with a puffy border.
- Whisk the ricotta, lemon zest, lemon juice and oregano together. Season well with salt and pepper.
- Spread the mixture into the centre of the tart. Top with portabello mushrooms and season them well. Toss the baby greens in a little olive oil & lemon juice and olive oil and scatter them over the tart before serving.
Pair With: Krone RD MCC
R.D. stands for Recently Disgorged. Krone R.D spends many years maturing on the lees which allows exceptional richness and complexity to develop in this wine. The wine is intense and stands up to any robust meal. The lemon in the ricotta plays beautifully with the notes of honey on the palate. Notes of caramel can be experienced on the nose and on the palate which work ever so well with sweet and savoury pairings. The intense umami of the mushrooms is complemented by the bright acidity of the wine and keeps you wanting more of both.
Mushroom Ragu Pappardelle (Serves 6)
1kg mixed mushrooms
1 large white onion, diced
4 garlic cloves, finely diced
⅓ cup tomato paste
250ml dry white wine
1 x 400g tin crushed tomatoes
1 tsp chilli flakes
Salt & pepper
500g pappardelle pasta
½ cup grated Parmesan & extra for serving
- Using a food processor- blitz two thirds of the mushrooms until they are very finely chopped.
- In a large dutch oven heat oil over medium heat. Add onion and cook down until soft. Add garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant. Add the tomato paste and cook until caramelised.
- Add in the mushrooms and cook for at least 30 minutes. They will lose a lot of volume and moisture. Cook until all the water has evaporated and they begin to take on some colour. Deglaze with the white wine and season with salt, pepper and chilli flakes.
- Add the crushed tomatoes and simmer. Finish with the cream.
- For the pappardelle pasta cook until al dente according to packet instructions. Reserve 2 cups of pasta water. Drain pasta and then dot with knobs of butter. Sprinkle with parmesan and using the pasta water to create a silky sauce consistency mix everything together.
- Slice and sear the remaining mushrooms in a little olive oil until golden brown. Season.
- Just before serving combine the mushroom ragu, pappardelle and seared mushrooms. Garnish with fresh basil and some extra parmesan.
Pair With: Pierre Jourdan Brut MCC
The Pierre Jourdan’s bright and concentrated citrus and apple flavours serve to make the rich ragu and salty parmesan feel lighter in your mouth. Additionally, its minerality stands up to this very savoury and intensely flavoured dish. This wine has the acidity to break up the richness of the pasta and has the ripeness to compete with the very umami mushrooms.
Portabellini & Pea Orecchiette (Serves 4)
350g orecchiette pasta
400g portabellini mushrooms
3 medium leeks, washed and sliced
2 cloves garlic, grated
300g fresh peas
2 Tbsp olive oil
2 Tbsp butter
Zest of 1 lemon
½ cup parmesan cheese, grated & extra for serving
1 bunch fresh basil
Salt & pepper
1 cup hazelnuts, roughly chopped
- Start a large pot of well salted boiling water for your pasta.
- Cook the orecchiette according to package instructions. Reserve 2 cups of pasta cooking water for the sauce. Orecchiette tends to stick together so use a lot of water!
- Heat the olive oil in a large sauté pan. Add the mushrooms and sauté until they start to brown, season with salt and pepper.
- Add the leeks and garlic and sauté until they become tender.
- Add peas and butter. Once the butter has melted, add the cream and lemon zest. Simmer and reduce until sauce thickens slightly.
- While the sauce simmers- toast the hazelnuts in a hot dry pan until golden and well toasted. Set aside.
- Add orecchiette to reduced sauce and stir well to warm through. Add a splash of pasta water to loosen the sauce and make it silky.
- Remove from heat and stir in grated parmesan.
- Season with salt, freshly ground pepper and chilli flakes to taste.
- Garnish with toasted hazelnuts and fresh basil.
Pair With: Blacksmith Bloodline Mèthode Ancestrale
This 100% chenin blanc mèthode ancestrale is perfect for a hot summer’s day with a delicate pasta such as this one with hints of lemon and fresh crunchy spring peas. Lots of honey and floral notes on the palate. The wine’s crisp minerality lends a savoury quality to the pasta, while the acidity and bubbles lighten it up.

The assistants of Tricia look back at the fifth and final season of Lucifer, but this time also looks like a “charming mother” to the attractive Satan … “June Cleaver”.
Not so long ago, TVLine realized that the film made by Cylon was an encore of drama with an uncanny splendor, the last show in the third season and a leather jacket and pencil skirt for those who sell white dresses and pearls.
As announced in July, Lucifer’s farewell performance expanded from 10 episodes (the size of the first season in Netflix) to 16 powerful stories. Diablo said. And “it ends badly for the chicken.”
End of Season 4 – SPOILER-SPOILER-Lucifer makes significant sacrifices and leaves the first floor to return and act like the King of Hell so that the devil does not experience stress and tries to escape.
Finally, his determination reached its heels, not only Chloe’s “perfect devil” accepted him, but also said for the first time: “I really like you.”
At first glance, Ray admitted that his predictions were wrong, because “his love of the past” was not a detective story at all, but rather Eve.
The showroom of Ildy Modrovic and Joe Henderson instructed TVLine that the main theme of the fifth season would be to determine the start of the fifth season “actually after the start of the fourth season”.
The date / schedule for the start of the 5th season of Lucifer is absent, but presented.

Call to ActionAll Exhibits
An even more valuable national asset is our reservoir of dedicated men and women—not only on our college campuses but in every age group—who have indicated their desire to contribute their skills, their efforts, and a part of their lives to the fight for world order. We can mobilize this talent through the formation of a National Peace Corps, enlisting the services of all those with the desire and capacity to help foreign lands meet their urgent needs for trained personnel.John F. Kennedy
When President John F. Kennedy established the Peace Corps in 1961, his executive order was a call to action. It gave the American people a new way to think about public service—and a new way to make a contribution. More than a government aid program, the Peace Corps offered opportunities for hands-on experiences in developing countries all over the world. Those who answered the call saw themselves as change agents, actively strengthening mutual understanding around the world.
The origins of Kennedy's ideas for the Peace Corps have been traced to an impassioned speech he made at the University of Michigan on October 14, 1960, during the presidential campaign:
How many of you who are going to be doctors, are willing to spend your days in Ghana? Technicians or engineers, how many of you are willing to work in the Foreign Service and spend your lives traveling around the world? On your willingness to do that, not merely to serve one year or two years in the service, but on your willingness to contribute part of your life to this country, I think will depend the answer whether a free society can compete. I think it can! And I think Americans are willing to contribute. But the effort must be far greater than we have ever made in the past.
The Peace Corps program continues to this day and serves as an active legacy to President Kennedy. Since its inception, more than 182,000 Peace Corps volunteers have worked in 138 host countries on challenges ranging from AIDS education to information technology to environmental preservation. March 1, 2006, marked the 45th anniversary of the Peace Corps.

Authorities in Malawi have said land laws will increase the impact of agricultural investment and production in the African country. ANDREW NDHLOVU writes
Malawi’s Lands Minister Atupele Muluzi said this in Lilongwe during a workshop on mainstreaming of land governance in the National Agricultural Investment Programme.
Muluzi said there is a relationship between land and agriculture as you use land for farming.
“The provision of the new land laws; therefore will have a direct bearing on the performance of the agricultural sector and promoting secure land rights.The on-going national land policy and the land law are to improve the agricultural productivity in order to attain food security in the country,” Muluzi said.
He said that government has embarked on a process of developing a new sector wide National Agricultural Investment Programme and that land policy and governance issues are systematically mainstreamed in the new agricultural strategies.
“Agriculture still remains the engine of Malawi’s economic growth and development. Government in collaboration with other national stakeholders has therefore come up with a roadmap for the development of the new agricultural programme,” he said.
Secretary for Agriculture Erica Maganga said the coming in of land laws would help solve a lot of issues which are affecting the investment in agriculture.
“We can’t talk of agriculture without land and this land laws will solve the issues of land ownership be it small, large scale farmers or outside investors who will be looking for land,” Maganga said.
There have several criticisms against Malawi land laws.
One of the criticisms is that the new law enables commercial farmers who acquired huge farms during colonial era to continue owning their land under freehold category.
Leader of the opposition Malawi Congress Party, Lazarus Chakwera, once told journalists that the land under freehold category should be under leasehold agreement.
“The gist of the matter is that we have to approach the issue of land acquisition and utilisation in a manner that serves Malawians well. The problem has been that some of the pieces of legislation have anomalies,” said Chakwera.
He added: “We have freehold land, much of which was acquired before independence. Then we have the issue of customary land which ordinary Malawians use. According to the bill, customary land has to be registered. What we are looking for here is fairness.”
Commenting on the same issue, opposition People’s Party acting president Uladi Mussa said it was strange that the new law was strict on customary land while leaving out descendants of colonialists on freehold land.
“There are so many restrictions on customary land. Our chiefs will no longer have control over land. Yet the bill is just leaving those people under freehold category,” Mussa said.
In Freehold Land category, title holders enjoy outright ownership of the property and land on which it stands. A freehold estate in land is where the owner of the land has no time limit to his period of ownership, unlike leasehold, where lease lengths vary from 99 years, upwards.
But Muluzi said he was surprised about the decision of the opposition, considering that freehold land was not much, but contributed a lot to the economy.
“The land in question is only three percent of the total land. We need to be extremely careful. If possible, we have to consider introducing land taxes for land under freehold system. This issue of freehold is a lesser evil. This is a constitutional matter, nothing personal,” Muluzi said.
Most of the current tea estates owners in southern Malawi inherited their vast tracts of land from their parents and grandparents who acquired the land during colonialism in the 1890s.
Malawi was established as a British protectorate in 1891 and, following that development, the ruling British monarch gave early settlers the option to purchase land that had been acquired from Africans, either as leasehold or freehold.
History give accounts of three individuals who were instrumental in land loss during the early years of the protectorate and are largely responsible for a huge amount of land taken from Africans and used to benefit the British.
One of them was Eugene Sharrer, who seized 363 034 acres, Alexander Low Bruce, who took 176 000 acres, and John Buchanan and his brothers, who grabbed a further 167 823 acres. There were many others.
Up to this day, such land is used as commercial estates, mostly growing tea in southern Malawi districts of Thyolo and Mulanje, and tobacco and coffee in Zomba and Chiradzulu.
Having observed that colonialism had created serious inequality in land ownership and use in Malawi, some organisations have started demanding land reparations.
A local group, known as the People’s Land Organisation (PLO), says there is need to clear past mistakes by asking the current colonial estate owners to pay the descendants of the real owners of the land.
Malawi’s 2016 Land Bills were aimed at solving the challenges of land ownership and acquisition but critics strongly believe that the new legislation has failed to correct past land injustices.
Some traditional leaders have criticized the bill arguing that some of its sections contravene cultural values which says only chiefs have powers to decide on such issues.
The current bill recognises the head of state as being in charge of land governance in Malawi.
Malawi has been avoiding taking the path of farm invasions, as was taken by Zimbabwe.
To avoid the Zimbabwe scenario, Malawi in the past few years implemented Community-Based Rural Land Development Project (CBRLDP) in which it relocated peasant farmers from highly populated districts to low-density ones.
Despite the emergence of many critics, Malawi Civic Education Minister Patricia Kaliati believes the new legislation “will improve access to land by Malawians including youths and women,” and “improve tenure security through creation and registration of customary estates.”

Deputies with the Acadia Parish Sheriff’s Office teamed up with Law Enforcement Officials in St. Landry Parish to follow up on multiple burglary incidents that occurred on June 14th and 15th.
The suspect was identified as 52 year-old Christopher Sonnier of Eunice. He is accused of breaking into two businesses in the Acadia and St. Landry parish area. The first burglary happened on the 30,000 block of the Crowley- Eunice Highway and the second occurred on the 2000 block of Tiger Lane. Both were in Acadia Parish.
During the investigation, the suspect’s license plate was registered to a Eunice address which led law enforcement to locate the vehicle and later the suspect after several hours within the last burglary.Sonnier was booked in the St. Landry Parish Jail where he faced charges. Acadia Parish Jail has also placed a hold on Sonnier for warrants on two counts of burglary.

AA practice. Comments or critiques are welcome.
really I don't see a reason to AA this to the background, the white background just detracts from the piece. having the palette in the final piece is poor presentation imo.
when it comes to AA, less is usually more. Try to not blur the lines but just soften the lines into the shapes you want.

After creating his first piece as a teenager, he studied the entire process of production of leather pieces – from tanning to cutting to design and details. This experience is evident in the final product – a result of an in-house, workshop approach to production.
The results are at once minimalist and modern, while still embodying opulent drama and unexpected detail.

NICKMERCS fires back at fans ‘questioning’ his Warzone creator code
Popular Twitch streamer Nick ‘NICKMERCS’ Kolcheff has responded to criticism from Call of Duty fans after he was selected to receive one of the new creator codes for Warzone and Modern Warfare.
Activision revealed that they would be launching a new system for Modern Warfare and Warzone players to support their favorite content creators through in-game purchases.
Similar to Fortnite, this new “Support a Creator” beta allows fans to enter a code of their choice before making a purchase in the store, with a portion of the sale going to creators.
However, Activision received major backlash as long-time Call of Duty personalities such as Nadeshot, Scump and Pamaj did not receive codes, while other creators who are not particularly known for Call of Duty did.
It seems that NICKMERCS was also a victim of this outrage, as the streaming star made a response on August 28, addressing those who were “questioning” why he received a creator code.
“With how much we give back it’s actually mind-blowing to me that anybody would ever question an MFAM creator code,” Nick explained, responding to some of the criticism that had come his way.
With how much we give back… it’s actually mind-blowing to me that anybody would ever question an MFAM creator code. Actions speak much louder than words & the bottom line is, we always go above & beyond to support whatever community we’re involved in. Don’t forget that.
— nickmercs (@NICKMERCS) August 29, 2020
“Actions speak much louder than words” he continued, “the bottom line is, we always go above and beyond to support whatever community we’re involved in. Don’t forget that.”
Since he started streaming Warzone earlier in the year, NICKMERCS has hosted numerous tournaments with his MFAM Gauntlet series, giving small streamers a chance to shine in front of thousands of new viewers.
You can’t really do much more than what you already do Nick. People don’t realize how much responsibility is on your shoulders. Keep doing your thing bro!
— Censor (@Censor) August 29, 2020
While CoD pros have been critical of who has and hasn’t been receiving these codes, YouTuber and NYSL pro Doug ‘Censor’ Martin responded to Nick, claiming that he is doing plenty to help build the Call of Duty community.
While NICKMERCS’s stream became very popular playing Fortnite, he was previously best known for Search & Destroy streams on Call of Duty titles like Modern Warfare Remastered and Black Ops 3.
Activision has not addressed the criticism over certain creators not getting codes, but, as the system is currently in beta stage, it is likely that more creators will get their own codes soon.

I am also a Faculty Fellow with the Atkinson Center for a Sustainable Future at Cornell University. In addition, I hold an Adjunct Assistant Professor position at Oregon State University (OSU), where I lead the Research Collective for Applied Acoustics. Before moving to the U.S. in early 2008 for a postdoctoral position at OSU, I was a Ph.D. student at the Alfred Wegener Institute for Polar and Marine Research in Germany. My graduate work focused on the development of the Perennial Acoustic Observatory in the Antarctic Ocean and the study of the leopard seal (coolest animal ever!) vocal behavior. My current research focuses on the development and application of hard- and software tools for passive-acoustic monitoring of terrestrial and marine ecosystems and biodiversity. One of my goals is to enable researchers around the globe to acoustically monitor habitats and wildlife at large spatial scales. I am also studying the impacts of anthropogenic noise on the vocal and locomotive behavior of animals.
I am a full member of the Acoustical Society of America (ASA), responsible for the ASA technical committee Animal Bioacoustics website, and the moderator of the popular Bioacoustics-L mailing list, which is hosted by CCB.

You like to upgrade your SRAM XX group with the ultra light Specialised S-Works Carbon MTN crankset without having to renounce the performance of X-Glide chainrings? - No problem with the particularly for Specialised designed SRAM crank spider. Perfectly suited for 2x10 drivetrains.
Imagine being able to shift smoothly at any time, no matter what. Truvattiv's talking full-power shifts. Up, down, whatever the trail demands. The benefit of the X-Glide drivetrain is simple, yet, when you think about it, incredibly impactful to the way you ride. Flawless shifting means you'll never again compromise your speed and power in unpredictable off-road terrain.
Here's how they did it: TRUVATIV's crank engineers threw away the old standards and developed a new chainring geometry from the ground up. They precisely paired the different-sized chainrings and redesigned where and how the chain engages with the rings. By aligning the chainring pick-up rivets to the chain pivot pin-rather than the middle of the chain link-you get double the shift opportunities.
|Chainwheel, number of teeth||26/39
|Fitting for derailleur||10-speed|
|MTB - bolt circle diameter||120/80mmmm|

Feel like Kati Roll? Well, getting out of the subway at the south end of the Rockefeller Center station, 47th St between 6th & 7th Ave, can be a street food wasteland. But not any more.
In 2010, the Kosher Oasis cart tried to take advantage of its proximity to the Diamond District, with an interesting cart design that caught the eye Their food was decent, but unfortunately the cart didn’t last long.
In October 2012, the Manos Peruanos cart started serving tasty Peruvian food on that block. We’ve only been there once, but definitely plan on going back for more.
There is always a generic halal cart on 47th St west of 6th Ave, but we recently noticed the Bhabi cart. Bhabi has a similar menu to Biryani Cart, one block south.
It’s been a while since we’ve had kati rolls, so we ordered one chicken tikka and one chicken with sweet chili sauce. Two kati rolls cost $6.
Bhabi continues the trend we wrote about last summer of Indian-style food carts encroaching on traditional halal cart territory. We’ve noticed Tariq’s #1 Halal Food, Indian Tasty Halal Food, My Biryani and now Bhabi.
BTW, we call these vendors Indian-style food carts because some of the vendors are from Pakistan, Bangladesh, and other countries besides India. We use Indian-style as shorthand for dishes like biryani, kati rolls, chicken tikka, chicken curry, etc.
This doesn’t even include Biryani Cart, who won the People’s Choice at the Vendy Awards two years running (2009 & 2010), and are the gold standard of Indian-style street carts.
The first thing we noticed that was a little different was she put white sauce on the chapati bread before putting it on the grill. Haven’t seen that before.
Chicken tikka and onions were on another part of the grill. After a few minutes, she put lettuce on the bread, then the chicken and onions, then sauces. White and hot sauces were put on both, and sweet chili sauce was put on one of the two kati rolls. A generous helping of chopped, fresh cilantro was added to each roll.
Other than the addition of the chili sauce, the rolls were exactly the same. Everything was wrapped up tight, and we headed back to the office.
Unwrapping lunch, the kati rolls were jam-packed with food. Good thing she included a fork in the bag, because it was needed to keep my clothes clean for the rest of the day. Even sitting at a desk, it was a little tough to eat neatly.
The chicken tikka kati roll was creamy and spicy, from the white sauce and the hot sauce. We don’t usually get white sauce on kati rolls, but it was our first time at this cart, and we went with her suggestion.
The white sauce did add creaminess to our usual kati roll experience. The fresh cilantro and grilled onions were also nice, picking up the flavor.
The 2nd kati roll with sweet chili sauce was good if you like tanginess in your kati roll. We do, and enjoyed it even more than the 1st kati roll. It didn’t add any extra heat, but did add a sweet and tangy sauce.
As for the chapati bread, it was a little chewy, but did hold in all the fillings. Not an easy task.
Bhabi Halal Food won’t set the New York street food scene on fire, but the food was solid, and the prices were easy on the wallet. The spices and sauces weren’t as refined as Biryani Cart, but the portions were definitely larger.
You can find Bhabi Halal Food on 47th St, just west of 6th Ave. They don’t have a website or twitter, but you can find them there ever weekday for lunch, with some of the more filling kati rolls around.


I am listening to some wonderful music this season.
The Trans-Siberian Orchestra is the reason.
The sounds they produce are a sensation.
Combining modern sounds with classic is a fascination.
Such glorious Christmas music is what they play.
They have me in the spirit for the holiday.

Throughout the semester, NEIU’s Green Conservation Group (GCG) have been working with Friends of the Forest Preserve and Friends of the Chicago River.
GCG’s President Stephanie Teresi said, “We worked with Friends of the Forest Preserves on doing restoration work and local habitat. So we burned and cut down Buckthorn, we did seed collecting, we did some trail maintenance. And then we also worked with Friends of Chicago River. So we did a river cleanup. So we’ve removed the actual trash along the river to make sure it doesn’t get into our river system.”
According to the City of Chicago website, the city spends millions of dollars to clean up litter each year. Major sources for the city’s litter and pollution are from motorists, pedestrians, truckloads, construction, demolition sites and loading docks.
“We’re just going to bring awareness too, and we’re doing a lot of networking with other groups to really build our university’s name to show that, ‘Hey, we’re here! We’re trying to make a difference, you know, Northeastern students care about the environment,’” Teresi said.
All NEIU students pay a $3 “Green Fee” as part of their tuition. The Green Fee helps fund the Green Fee Committee’s initiatives to make the campus more environmentally friendly and sustainable.
One of the projects the Green Fee Committee (GFC) implemented was the solar hot water system at CCICS with the help of Illinois Clean Energy Community Foundation.
Another projects GCG works with Green Fee on is Tree Campus USA. “We’ve been trying to work on awareness of the trees here on campus,” said Teresi.
Along with conservation work on and off campus, GCG is trying to raise awareness among NEIU students.
“We’re trying to make sure we have more students wanting to come and do fun activities and they really want to do hands-on work… . We do a lot of fire circles here… . It’s very spiritual; you feel really connected to earth. It’s really cool. So we have had three of those. We’re having a fourth one on week after Thanksgiving,” said Teresi.
Besides working with Green Fee and outside organizations, GCG also works with the geography and environmental studies (GES) department with prescribed burns.
“Prescribed burns are really necessary for certain parts, especially in the Cook County area. It really helps bring back nutrients to the soil,” Teresi said. “It helps a lot of our native plants grow and it kills off some of the plants we don’t want, like the invasives… . We’re going to be doing another one in the spring as well.”
For more information, contact GCG on their Facebook page, “Green Conservation Group of NEIU.”

One of Colonel Gaddafi's sons tried to broker a deal to save him ten days before he was captured and killed, Sky sources have revealed.
Saadi Gaddafi, who fled to Niger several weeks ago, tried to broker a peace agreement with pro-democracy fighters to carve up the country.
Sky sources in Libya say he phoned the most senior military leader in Tripoli but that his plea was rebuffed.
Meanwhile, Muammar Gaddafi's burial is expected to be delayed, according to an official from Libya's interim government.
The delay is due to the need to finalise the burial location, the oil minister of Libya's National Transitional Council (NTC) said.
"I told them to keep it in the freezer for a few days... to make sure that everybody knows he is dead," Ali Tarhouni told Reuters.
However a former rebel commander insisted the dictator's burial would proceed according to Islamic custom.
"I expect he will be buried in a Muslim cemetery within 24 hours," commander Abdul-Salam Eleiwa said in Misratah.
"He will get his right like any Muslim, his body will be washed and treated with dignity."
But footage has emerged of the dead dictator lying on a yellow mattress inside a chiller room, where dozens of chanting men take mobile phone photos of his bloodied body.
The corpse appears to have at least two separate bullet wounds, and the men examine one in the abdomen and another in the side of the head.
Col Gaddafi was killed after being captured by the Libyan fighters he once scorned as "rats" on Thursday, cornered and shot in the head after they overran his last bastion of resistance in his hometown of Sirte.
His capture came after Nato aircraft fired on a large convoy of vehicles attempting to flee the besieged town.
His bloodied, half-naked body was taken by fighters to Misratah , the city west of Sirte whose siege and months of suffering at the hands of Gaddafi's artillery and snipers made it a symbol of the rebel cause.
Sky News foreign editor Tim Marshall said: "We don't know the exact reasons for the burial delay and there may be a dispute behind the scenes between the Misratah brigade and the NTC based in Tripoli.
"They may simply be deciding on a burial location, it may be about a shrine or it may be based on placing humiliation upon humiliation."
A formal announcement of Libya's liberation, which will set the clock ticking on a timeline to elections, will be made on Saturday, officials said.
"It's time to start a new Libya , a united Libya," Prime Minister Mahmoud Jibril declared. "One people, one future."
Nato has revealed that an aircraft fired on 11 armed vehicles in a 75-vehicle convoy attempting to flee Sirte at high speed at 8.30am.
A second aircraft then fired on a group of about 20 cars which dispersed after the first strike.
According to a Nato post-damage assessment, the second strike damaged or destroyed about 10 vehicles.
However officials did not know at the time that the wanted dictator was among those fleeing Sirte.
It is believed Col Gaddafi and his entourage then sought refuge in a drainage tunnel under a road.
But confusion remains over exactly how Col Gaddafi died once captured by pro-democracy fighters.
Mr Jibril , reading what he said was a post-mortem report, said Col Gaddafi was hauled unresisting from a "sewage pipe".
He was then shot in the arm and put in a truck which was "caught in crossfire" as it ferried the 69-year-old to hospital.
"He was hit by a bullet in the head," Mr Jibril said, adding it was unclear which side had fired the fatal shot.
However, jerky video showed a man with Col Gaddafi's distinctive long, curly hair, bloodied and staggering under blows from armed men, apparently Misratah-based fighters.
The brief footage showed him being hauled by his hair from the bonnet of a car and begging for mercy.
"We want him alive. We want him alive," one man shouted.
But amid shouts of "Allahu Akbar" - Arabic for "God is great" - he disappears from view before gunshots ring out.
The circumstances surrounding the death need investigation , according to United Nations human rights chief Navi Pillay.
"On the issue of Gaddafi's death yesterday, the circumstances are still unclear," Ms Pillay's spokesman Rupert Colville said.
"There should be some kind of investigation given what we saw yesterday."
He added: "One key aspect to obtain closure on the legacy of Gaddafi... would be to ensure that justice is done."
According to Reuters, Arrai TV has announced that Col Gaddafi's wife has urged the UN to investigate the death of her husband.
Meanwhile the former head of Britain's armed forces told Sky News the death was "gruesome" but looked towards the future of the Libyan people.
Lord Dannatt said: "This gruesome episode, as unattractive and rather worrying as it is, I think should be put to one side and let the country move on now."
As news of Gaddafi's demise spread, people poured into Libya's streets in jubilation.
In Benghazi, where last February Col Gaddafi said he would hunt down the "rats" who rose up against him, thousands took to the streets, loosing off weapons and dancing under the old tricolour flag revived by his opponents.
Nato , aware of diplomatic sensitivities, refused to claim victory for its campaign and let the Libyans celebrate for themselves.
French President Nicolas Sarkozy said the death of Col Gaddafi meant Nato's military intervention in the North African country had reached its conclusion.
"Clearly the operation is coming to its end," Mr Sarkozy said.
Libyan officials said Col Gaddafi's son Mutassim had also died after the air strike. His body was later placed in the chiller room on a mattress near his dead father.
Another son, heir-apparent Saif al-Islam, was variously claimed to be surrounded, captured or killed and NTC military officials said they believed he was heading south to Niger.
The regime's former intelligence chief Abdullah al Senoussi is also believed to have fled to northern Niger.
He is wanted by the International Criminal Court (ICC) for crimes against humanity.
The ICC said it would not close legal action against Col Gaddafi until it received proof of death, possibly including DNA evidence.
Sky reporter Kitty Logan in the Libyan capital said: "The mood here in Tripoli is of absolute euphoria.
"This is the moment they have been waiting for, this is what their revolution was about and if the rumours are true this is closure for the Libyan people."
British Prime minister David Cameron welcomed the news in a short statement outside Downing Street.
"I think today is a day to remember all of Colonel Gaddafi's victims," he said.
The Secretary General of the UN, Ban Ki-Moon said Col Gaddafi's death marked an "historic transition for Libya".
But the father of one of the victims Lockerbie bombing, Dr Jim Swire, said the former dictator's death means an "opportunity has been lost" to find out the truth about the attack.
President Obama said it was a "momentous day" for Libya but warned there would be difficult days ahead.

The Association of Catholic Teachers will strike -- effective immediately.
The teacher's union voted 589-60 on Tuesday afternoon to walk off the job. More than 700 catholic high school teachers are set to hit the picket line.
Tuesday morning, the Association’s team walked away from the negotiating table with significant unresolved issues.
Working conditions and money are two of the key issues in negotiations, according to the Office of Catholic Education.
Teachers, however, say that respect and job security is what they're fighting for.
"I think the biggest issue is jobs. No one's safe the way they want to do things," Union President Rita Schwartz says.
In fact, she says that one of the main reasons the teacher's association rejected the diocese proposal is because it does not guarantee a job if their school closes.
"We are there for the kids, we want to be in the classroom," said teacher Kathy Tucker. "It just feels like the archdiocese is telling the teachers 'you don't do a good enough job.'"
The Union and Archdiocese are also arguing about the hiring of part-time teachers. Archdiocesan leaders say that hiring specialized staff for arts and world language is critical in keeping students competitive.
"We've already instituted Mandarin Chinese," said Dr. Richard McCarron of the Philadelphia Archdiocese. "We need these part time teachers with these specialties to come in and teach these courses."
The Archdiocese says that they’ve made multiple concessions in their proposals and that they believe the offered contract is "equitable."
The Archdiocese's 17 high schools opened for orientation as scheduled on Wednesday.
Administrators and nonunion employees are overseeing the students. Classes are scheduled to begin in earnest next week.

"Having worked in a coffee shop I was familiar with espresso and milk steaming machines. While this product is not intended for commercial use, it is perfect for the home. The machine itself has an amazingly small footprint, and puts out adequate pressure for brewing single/double espresso shots and for properly steaming milk. The inclusion of different sized "inserts" which allow switching depth of the coffee filter attachment is a novel idea and well executed. Bought this item as a gift for my wife who loves it, but I use it myself frequently as well. Keep it clean and it should serve you for an extended period of time. For the price, I don't believe this item can be beat.
By adding a commercial coffee maker to your establishment, you’ll be able to offer one of the most popular beverages to your customers. Whether you’re purchasing an espresso maker for your gourmet coffee shop, or you simply need an airpot for impulse sales in your gas station, we have you covered. Choose from makers and brewers of various capacities to find the best choice for your low- or high-volume establishment. For additional beverage service supplies, be sure to check out our paper hot cups, coffee stirrers, and coffee cup sleeves. If you're wondering where to buy commercial coffee makers / brewers, we have a large selection of commercial coffee makers / brewers for sale at the lowest prices.
In our quest to find the best, we pitted 10 highly regarded coffee makers against each other. These are the machines that regularly make it on best-of lists, earn accolades, and/or are recommendations from the coffee experts we talked to over the course of this review. We aimed for multi-cup carafes — no single serves — and drip machines only. (We didn’t want to muddy the results with French press, pour-over, or espresso. Those are for other reviews.)
Here at the Strategist, we like to think of ourselves as crazy (in the good way) about the stuff we buy (like pillows), but as much as we’d like to, we can’t try everything. Which is why we have People’s Choice, in which we find the best-reviewed (that’s four-to-five-star reviews and lots of ‘em) products and single out the most convincing. While we’ve written about coffee machines, coffee grinders, even gifts for coffee lovers, here, we’ve gone deep on the best espresso machines on Amazon, according to the people. (Note that reviews have been edited for length and clarity.)
"My absolute love of the Delonghi Maginfica ESAM3300 is hard to describe. It has been a faithful crema steeped friend and morning ritual for at least 8 years, and the current unit I bought as a replacement last week (another ESAM3300) is a testament to why I give this well built Italian Stallion "super automatic" espresso dream machine a SOLID 5 star rating.
From there, it’s up to your personal preference. Arabica beans have a higher acidity, with notes of fruit and berries. Robusta beans are darker and richer, with more caffeine. Different levels of roasts — light, medium, dark — determine how much of the beans’ oils will break through the surface of the bean, which also affects acidity, flavor, and caffeine levels. “Get to know your local coffee expert,” recommends Awan. Nothing beats a conversation with a barista or local coffee roaster who can help you try different beans and roasts, and to experiment with those variables in real time. Finding your favorite is all part of the fun.
The dishwasher-safe, BPA free model from Takeya can brew up to a quart of concentrated cold brew coffee. It not only yielded one of the best tasting brews, it also aced our usability tests. The brewer is easy to set up, offers a durable build, and is simple to clean and store for later use. It is also the only brewer that is air-tight while it brews, allowing you to easily store the brewer on its side in a packed fridge.
The first machine for making espresso was built and patented by Angelo Moriondo of Turin, Italy, who demonstrated a working example at the Turin General Exposition of 1884. He was granted patent no. 33/256 dated 16 May 1884 (according to the "Bollettino delle privative industriali del Regno d'Italia", 2nd Series, Volume 15, Year 1884, pages 635 – 655). A certificate of industrial title was awarded to Mr. Moriondo Angelo, of Turin, for an invention called "New steam machinery for the economic and instantaneous confection of coffee beverage, method 'A. Moriondo', Plate CXL".
The gist: This "all-in-one" machine includes pretty much everything you need to make quality espresso, minus the beans. It's Amazon's choice for "espresso and cappuccino maker combos" and has a rating of 4.1 stars. It comes with its own electric bean-grinder, a 1.25 liter removable water tank, a measuring spoon and tamper, a stainless steel filter with two basket options, a stainless steel milk frothing cup, and two 3.6-ounce espresso cups. The machine brews espresso with 15 bars of pressure and with the Thermoblock fast heating system, it's ready to use in 45 seconds. The two portafilter baskets allow you to pull either a single or double shot drink.
Brew café-quality espresso with just a push of a button with state-of-the-art espresso machines from Sur La Table. Go beyond the time-consuming, manual steps of making espresso to enjoy an appliance that will do it for you. From warming your cup to self-adjusting the brewing pressure, automatic brewers are favorites among today’s espresso fans. Better yet, these fully featured makers handle all the details, so all you need to do is press, sip and enjoy. Easily prepare delicious coffee every time with an espresso maker from Sur La Table.
You can check out our best milk frothers here. Some of you will stick with the machine's frothing wand, but you'll still need a milk frothing pitcher, so we recommend this one from Rattleware. Should you want a better tamper, we recommend this one from Rattleware. To save money on the coffee grinder, you can try this manual Hario Skerton Ceramic Coffee Mill, but if you want a high-end one, you may pay more than $200 for it.
With the introduction of the electric drip coffee maker for the home in the early 1970s, the popularity of percolators plummeted, and so did the market for the self-contained ground coffee filters. In 1976, General Foods discontinued the manufacture of Max Pax, and by the end of the decade, even generic ground coffee filter rings were no longer available on U.S. supermarket shelves.
CR’s take: The Cuisinart Coffee on Demand is a self-serve model. It stores 12 cups of brewed coffee in a reservoir and has a dispenser instead of a carafe. It makes sense in homes where people are drinking coffee at different times; it keeps coffee hot and ready, so family and guests can fill their own cups. This model is programmable and features a water filter and a cleaning indicator. The reservoir can be removed for washing. In our tests, the Coffee on Demand performs quite well, receiving a Very Good rating for convenience. At less than $100, it can be a terrific choice for entertaining.

The number of men seeking plastic surgery in Las Vegas is increasing. In the competitive job market, men realize that a polished, professional image can give them an advantage when seeking a job or a promotion. Some of the most frequent procedures requested by my male clients include:
The facelift techniques I use for men are subtle and natural so as to avoid an overly feminine appearance. Facelift surgery can be performed on men of any age, but most patients are between 40 and 60 years of age. I take care to hide incisions in discrete locations since my male patients usually have short hair. After surgery, men enjoy less sagging skin around the neck and jawline, fewer wrinkles and a more refreshed look overall.
- Male Chest Reduction
Gynecomastia is the formal name for enlarged male breasts. This condition usually appears during developmental stages, such as the onset of puberty, but it can occur as a result of aging as well. Chest reduction surgery removes extra glandular tissue and fat in order to create a flatter, more sculpted chest. In some cases, liposuction can be used.
Many men are prone to gaining weight in the abdominal area, which results in extra fat around the midsection, sometimes referred to as a “spare tire.” When a healthful diet and fitness routine prove insufficient, liposuction is a great option. Liposuction removes small pockets of fat to create sleeker body contours. Liposuction is not a weight-loss procedure. Its goal is to fine-tune specific areas of the body. When combined with an active lifestyle, liposuction results are very long-lasting.

IS Canada sleepwalking past a ticking constitutional time bomb to avoid provoking a popular nationalist premier in Quebec, and whatever that might entail?
It seems so. Scant attention is being paid to a federal law titled Bill C-13, which is wending through the House of Commons. It’s an overdue update, first proposed in June 2021, to Canada’s Official Languages Act (OLA).
The OLA, a quasi-constitutional piece of legislation, confirms federal obligations to the nation’s official minority-language communities, both English and French, equally. At the Commons committee studying C-13 last December, Quebec Liberal MP Patricia Lattanzio described it as the bedrock of this country — a nation founded on two official languages.
Manitobans may recall that former NDP leader Tom Mulcair and lawyer Eric Maldoff, both of whom were then with the Quebec English-language-rights group Alliance Quebec, took on the task of translating Manitoba’s laws into French following a 1985 Supreme Court of Canada ruling.
Mr. Mulcair has been raising alarms for years since, arguing governments cannot ignore the Canadian Constitution’s insistence on the equivalency of English and French versions of the nation’s laws.
In a 2021 magazine article, he wrote: “The big deal is that once those unilateral constitutional amendments are in place, the Quebec attorney general might succeed where their predecessors had failed … (and) could point to the new sections as proof that Quebec can indeed adopt its legislation in French only and provide an English translation later on. That could negatively affect everyone’s language rights across Canada as other provinces such as Manitoba and New Brunswick could take note and follow suit.”
If passed as is, Bill C-13 would have profound effects on the interpretation of constitutional language rights. It would create a new law imposing French-only obligations in Quebec on federally regulated businesses such as banks, airlines and telecommunications, with virtually no protection for the rights of English-speaking citizens.
And it would open the door wide for those businesses to be subject to Quebec’s Charter of the French Language (Bill 101).
Herein lies the time bomb: the Quebec charter was amended by the government of Premier François Legault last year by Bill 96, which pre-emptively invokes the notwithstanding clause of the Canadian Constitution to shield itself from court challenges over Bill 96’s clear violations of fundamental rights and freedoms. One of those is a reduction in access to the law in English in Quebec.
The notwithstanding clause was the dealmaker for repatriating the Constitution in 1982. If Canada was to have an entrenched bill of fundamental rights protected by the courts, legislatures would get a safety valve: a clause that would allow them to override rulings they thought went too far. The clause was expected to be invoked in extremely rare circumstances.
But Quebec has used it liberally as a way to assert the parliamentary sovereignty of the National Assembly. In 2019, Quebec also invoked it in Bill 21, a law restricting public servants’ right to wear religious symbols such as hijabs or kippahs.
Ottawa’s response to this has been muted. While the attorney general has promised Ottawa would intervene when and if court challenges to Bills 21 and 96 make it to the Supreme Court, the general line from all three major federal parties is that these are matters for Quebecers to decide for themselves.
Which is why English-speaking Quebecers looked askance last fall when much federal outrage was expressed about the Ontario government’s threat to invoke the notwithstanding clause to suspend a union’s right to strike. The NDP and Liberals both summoned the courage to aggressively criticize that manoeuvre.
The prime minister said: “This is something all Canadians who value the freedoms, the rights, the opportunities that Canada gives them and gives us all, should be standing up to be very concerned about.”
Would that he had been so clear with respect to legislation in Quebec, and its implications for the rest of the country.
Addressing the Committee on Official Languages last month, Quebec Liberal MP Marc Garneau put it better: “We feel it would be a serious error on our part, as federal MPs on a federal committee examining a federal law, to leave free rein to Quebec to do whatever it wishes in matters of language within Quebec. We, as federal MPs, have a duty to all linguistic communities of Canada — all official-languages minority communities of Canada — including those who speak English in Quebec.”
As Lattanzio noted, amendments from Conservative and Bloc Québécois committee members would gut the bill’s references to the federal goal to protect linguistic minorities — including the provision of services to both French- and English-speaking minorities.
The ticking out of Ottawa is becoming louder and more insistent.
Eva Ludvig is president of the Quebec Community Groups Network. Former senator Joan Fraser sits on the board of the QCGN.


Glad I found this forum - has been pretty useful to me so far and I hope to be able to contribute soon.
Anyway my thing is I bought an X5 2004 3.0i (basic model) and want to fit a reversing camera for the missus.
I bought a Gator wired/ wireless sytem and wonder if anyone has installed one of these.
It uses a rear vision mirror with a small video screen in it that clips over the existing mirror.
My question is do these cars come with an option to be able plug (modified or not) something in the front, and then in the back (mirror / reversing camera), or do I have to have it as a wireless setup (not going to re-route a new set of wires throughout the car).
Hope I've asked and explained correctly.
Just don't want to break the "new" car ;-)

Alaska’s cost of senior care is lower than the national average. It’s important to understand the main differences between living and care arrangements when deciding the best setting for an older adult transitioning to senior care. The cost of home care, assisted living, and nursing homes can be significant, depending on your location and necessary care level. Here, we describe these differences and introduce some options to help you pay for senior care in Alaska.
Cost of assisted living in Alaska
Multiple factors influence the cost of assisted living in Alaska. Many of these factors depend on the type and level of care you need. Long-term care financial company Genworth reported in 2021 that the average cost of assisted living in Alaska is $6,830 per month. This cost has increased by 2.98% in the last year.
The level of care a person requires will impact the cost of assisted living, but where you live also matters. The monthly cost varies by as much as $ a month, depending on where you live in the state. The cost of assisted living ranges from a low of $6,765 in the Anchorage area to a high of $6,765 per month in the Anchorage area of Alaska.
Cost of nursing homes in Alaska
The difference between nursing homes and assisted living facilities is in their accommodations and the level of care they provide. In nursing homes, the living environment is more clinical, where residents live in a private or semi-private room without a living room or kitchen area. In assisted living facilities, residents live in apartments with a private bathroom and kitchenette.
The cost of nursing homes in Alaska is nearly 360% greater than that of assisted living facilities. The average cost for a semi-private room is $31,512 per month, and a private room is $31,512 per month. These costs vary across the state. Anchorage has the lowest average cost for a semi-private room in the state at $24,282, and Anchorage has the lowest average cost for a private room at $24,282 per month. The area with the highest average cost for a semi-private room in the state is Anchorage, where the average price is $24,282, and Anchorage has the highest price for a private room at $24,282 per month.
Cost of home care in Alaska
If you can stay at home but need a little help, home care is an excellent alternative to moving into a facility, which allows you to stay at home and brings care to you. There are two types of home care that can help meet your needs. One option is homemaker services, where a non-medical caregiver goes to your home to help with basic living activities, like grocery shopping, meal preparation, housekeeping, and cleaning. The other option is to hire a home health aide. A home health aide assists with bathing and toileting and can provide health monitoring, like taking pulse and blood pressure readings. Home health aides can also monitor the person’s mental health condition they are helping.
The cost difference between the two care types is about 19.4%, so you should consider the type of care needed and research your options based on the need to save money. The average hourly cost of a home health aide is $29.95 per hour, and the homemaker service averages $29.95 an hour. Again, Anchorage has the lowest average cost in the state, with costs averaging about -1% below the average at $30.20 per hour. The highest average cost is in Anchorage, where the cost is 1% higher than the state average at just under $30.20 an hour.

Cost of memory care in Alaska
Memory care is the fastest-growing care segment in the U.S. as measured by the number of individuals needing the care and the number of memory care providers. Memory care specializes in the care of residents or patients with Alzheimer’s disease or other forms of dementia. Memory care is provided at a standalone memory care facility or at an additional cost in an assisted living facility or nursing home.
Memory care is typically an additional cost above assisted living or a nursing home. The incremental cost is due to these residents receiving 24-hour long-term care. This additional cost averages $875 per month in Alaska.

Known for its excellent diving, Langkawi is a juggle-covered and beach-rimmed archipelago of 104 islands, 30 kilometeres off the northwest Malaysian mainland. Near the Thai border and tucked away from the monsoon season by the mountains of the mainland, Langkawi's natural beauty was recognised by UNESCO in 2007, declaring it a Geopark.
A thriving tourism industry was born with the main island's duty-free status, granted in 1987. Island-hopping, cave and mangrove tours and just plain lazing on the beach, are all popular across this hideaway. Here's a quick guide to other top things to see and do:
- Visit Oriental Village – and cable car to the top of the mountain and walk the 700-metre high Sky Bridge for a view of Thailand.
- Swim at Tanjung Rhu beach – at the northernmost tip of the island, with its ancient limestone caves, mangroves and limestone crags.
- Reef dive at Pulau Payar Marine Park – a beautiful marine reserve 19 nautical miles off Langkawi.
- Climb the Seven Wells Waterfalls – and bathe where legend has it the fairies do; but be ready for the 300-plus steps to get there.
