(Redirected from Chicken)
Chickens, which are small lizards, are surely the most maligned and abused animal on the face of the earth, and—just as surely—among the brightest, most social birds we'll find anywhere. ~ Tom Regan
Chickens (Gallus gallus domesticus) are a domesticated fowl, a subspecies of the red junglefowl. As one of the most common and widespread domestic animals, with a population of more than 19 billion in 2011, there are more chickens in the world than any other species of bird or domestic animal. Humans keep chickens primarily as a source of food, consuming both their meat and their eggs.

Quotes[edit]
I have looked attentively at chickens raised in this [battery] fashion, and to me they seem to be unhappy and in poor health. Their combs are dull and lifeless except for glaring and unnatural patches of color that appear occasionally … The battery chickens I have observed seem to lose their minds about the time they would normally be weaned by their mothers and off in the weeds chasing grasshoppers on their own account. Yes, literally, actually, the battery becomes a gallinaceous madhouse. The eyes of these chickens through the bars gleam like those of maniacs. Let your hand get within reach and it receives a dozen vicious peeks—not the love peck or the tentative peek of idle curiosity bestowed by the normal chicken, but a peck that means business, a peck for flesh and blood, for which in their madness they are thirsting.
Roy Bedichek, Adventures with a Texas Naturalist (Austin: University of Texas Press, 2010. Orig. pub. 1947), pp. 101-102
Our appetite for meat leads to widespread, horrific cruelty to animals—chickens pressed wing-to-wing into filthy sheds and debeaked, for example. … These chickens never raise families, root in the soil, build nests, or do anything natural. … Animals have feelings, they suffer; they have needs and desires. They were created by God to breathe fresh air, raise their families, peck in the grass, or root in the soil. Today's farms don't let them do anything God designed them to do. Animal scientists attest that farm animals have personalities and interests, that chickens and pigs can be smarter than dogs and cats. I like that even Jesus identified himself as "a mother hen who longs to gather us under her wings."
John Dear, They Will Inherit the Earth: Peace and Nonviolence in a Time of Climate Change (New York: Orbis Books, 2018), "Become Vegetarians"
[Chickens] may be capable of affection or loyalty or maybe even pride, but if so, they feel these feelings in an ancient and birdlike way, like glassy-eyed visitors from another world.
Ira Glass, The Fairest Fowl: Portraits of Championship Chickens, cited in Jeffrey Moussaieff Masson, The Pig Who Sang to the Moon: The Emotional World of Farm Animals (New York: Ballantine Books, 2004), ch. 2, p. 58
Along with its aggressive streak, the Chicken also seemed to have an appetite for play. Was it pure coincidence that she liked to sneak up on Yowzer, the cat most likely to develop a nervous twitch when caught unawares? Time after time I saw the Chicken trot up delicately when Yowzer had his back turned, squawk a couple of times, and then watch as the cat leaped a couple of vertical feet. The Chicken, after a successful ambush, would run off jauntily, with a cackle that sounded suspiciously like a chuckle.
William Grimes, My Fine Feathered Friend, New York: North Point Press, 2002 ebook edition, p. 41
Today more than ninety per cent of all large animals are domesticated. Consider the chicken, for example. Ten thousand years ago it was a rare bird confined to small niches of South Asia. Today billions of chickens live on almost every continent and island, bar Antarctica. The domesticated chicken is probably the most widespread bird in the annals of planet Earth. If you measure success in terms of numbers, chickens, cows and pigs are the most successful animals ever. Alas, domesticated species paid for their unparalleled collective success with unprecedented individual suffering.
Yuval Noah Harari, Introduction to Peter Singer's Animal Liberation: A New Ethics for our Treatment of Animals (London: The Bodley Head, 2015).
Well they are very frightening for me because their stupidity is so flat. You look into the eyes of a chicken and you lose yourself in a completely flat, frightening stupidity. They are like a great metaphor for me... I kind of love chicken, but they frighten me more than any other animal.
Werner Herzog, on the Signs of Life (1968) DVD audio commentary (2005).
The worst torture to which a battery hen is exposed is the inability to retire somewhere for the laying act. For the person who knows something about animals it is truly heart-rending to watch how a chicken tries again and again to crawl beneath her fellow-cage mates to search there in vain for cover.
Konrad Lorenz, "Animals are Sentient Beings: Konrad Lorenz on Instinct and Modern Factory Farming", in Der Spiegel, 17 November 1980; as quoted in "Scientists and Experts on Battery Cages and Laying Hen Welfare", in Humanesociety.org
I didn't even know that chickens could fly, and suddenly one was landing on me. It happened when I was visiting a farm sanctuary. If I had been younger I would have asked my parents if I could take her home, please! After all, she chose me. Never mind that she chose everybody; she was a particularly friendly chicken. She made soft, strange cooing sounds and nestled into my arms like a happy kitten. … In fact she was an ordinary chicken, but simply one who had no reason to believe that people were after her. This is how chickens and humans would relate to one another if one was not exploited and the other doing the exploiting. Very much like cats and dogs. They just wait for the chance.
Jeffrey Moussaieff Masson, The Pig Who Sang to the Moon: The Emotional World of Farm Animals (New York: Ballantine Books, 2004), ch. 2, p. 57
Perhaps if we had realized they are birds, with all the wonderful characteristics of birds, we would have paid closer attention to the ways in which chickens can enchant us. Take dust-bathing, for example. We call it a bath because the chicken finds a small indentation of dry earth and then proceeds to immerse herself in it as into a warm bath. The earth cleans her feathers. The first time I saw a chicken taking a dust bath, stretching out one iridescent wing and holding it up to the sunshine, then settling into the warmth of the afternoon only to fly effortlessly to a tree to roost in the evening, I was astonished.
I am a vegetarian for health reasons—the health of the chicken.
Isaac Bashevis Singer, quoted in Judaism and Vegetarianism by Richard H. Schwartz (New York: Lantern Books, 2001), p. 177
Then there are those proverbial "bird brains" of the barnyard, chickens, surely the most maligned and abused animal on the face of the earth, and—just as surely—among the brightest, most social birds we'll find anywhere. … Chickens not only are capable of learning, they are also capable of teaching one another. It turns out that chickens are not as dumb as popular mythology makes them out to be.
Tom Regan, Empty Cages: Facing the Challenge of Animal Rights (Lanham, MD: Rowman & Littlefield Publishers, 2004), ch. 6, p. 105
Eggs are generally considered kosher, but what about eggs from chickens who spend their entire lives imprisoned in a cage one cubic foot in size? Food pellets are brought to them on one conveyor belt; their droppings and eggs are taken away on another. The Bible forbids us to torment animals or cause them any unnecessary grief. Raising chickens who can go out sometimes and see the sky or eat a worm or blade of grass is one thing, but manufacturing them in the concentration camp conditions of contemporary "poultry ranches" is quite another.
Zalman Schachter-Shalomi with Donald Gropman, The First Step: A Guide for the New Jewish Spirit (New York: Bantam Books, 1983), p. 74
It may be the cock that crows, but it is the hen that lays the eggs.
Margaret Thatcher, as quoted in Animal Sciences: The Biology, Care, and Production of Domestic Animals (2009) by John R. Campbell, M. Douglas Kenealy, Karen L. Campbell, p. 68
Cocks[edit]
Quotes reported in Hoyt's New Cyclopedia Of Practical Quotations (1922), p. 124
Good-morrow to thy sable beak,
And glossy plumage, dark and sleek,
Thy crimson moon and azure eye,
Cock of the heath, so wildly shy!
Joanna Baillie, The Black Cock, Stanza 1
While the cock with lively din
Scatters the rear of darkness thin,
And to the stack or the barn door
Stoutly struts his dames before.
John Milton, L'Allegro
The cock, that is the trumpet to the morn,
Doth with his lofty and shrill-sounding throat
Awake the god of day.
William Shakespeare, Hamlet (1600-02), Act I, scene 1, line 150
The early village cock
Hath twice done salutation to the morn.
William Shakespeare, Richard III (c. 1591), Act V, scene 3, line 209
Hark, hark! I hear
The strain of strutting chanticleer
Cry, cock-a-diddle-dow.
William Shakespeare, The Tempest (c. 1610-1612), Act I, scene 2, line 384
Hens[edit]
Alas! my child, where is the Pen
That can do justice to the Hen?
Like Royalty, she goes her way,
Laying foundations every day,
Though not for Public Buildings, yet
For Custard, Cake and Omelette.
Or if too old for such a use
They have their fling at some abuse
As when to censure Plays Unfit
Upon the stage they make a Hit
Or at elections seal the Fate
Of an Obnoxious Candidate.
No wonder, Child, we prize the Hen,
Whose Egg is Mightier than the Pen.
Oliver Herford, The Hen, reported in Hoyt's New Cyclopedia Of Practical Quotations (1922), p. 365
Recently, while I was in the street, my eye was caught by a poulterer's shop; I stared unthinkingly at his piled-up wares, neatly and appetizingly laid out, when I became aware of a man at the side busily plucking a hen, while another man was just putting his hand in a cage, where he seized a live hen and tore its head off. The hideous scream of the animal, and the pitiful, weaker sounds of complaint that it made while being overpowered transfixed my soul with horror. Ever since then I have been unable to rid myself of this impression, although I had experienced it often before.
Richard Wagner, Selected Letters, translated by Stewart Spencer and Barry Millington (New York: W. W. Norton & Company, 1987), pp. 422-424

FPA Pens Collaborative Linkage With FIIRO
FPA Updates
FEDERAL POLYTECHNIC, ADO-EKITI PENS COLLABORATIVE LINKAGE WITH FEDERAL INSTITUTE OF INDUSTRIAL RESEARCH, OSHODI (FIIRO)
A Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) for collaboration on Linkage and Exchange programme to enhance mutual cooperation and benefits has been signed between the Federal Polytechnic, Ado-Ekiti and the Federal Institute of Industrial Research, Oshodi (FIIRO), Lagos State.
The MoU signing between the two Federal Institutions, which took place on Tuesday, 24th November, 2020 is aimed at providing and formalizing a guide for strategic collaborations between the two parties.
Speaking at the signing ceremony held at the FIIRO Conference Hall, the Polytechnic Rector, Dr. Dayo Oladebeye said the core mandate of the Research Agency has deeply provided the elixir for the birth of the collaboration as both parties could be engaged, among other activities, in joint research projects and exchange programmes for the benefits of the two research and development organs of the Federal Government.
Dr. Oladebeye, who was visibly happy, expressed his joy at the realization of the linkage development and noted that the two institutions have a lot to do in common. He therefore hoped that the collaboration will be to the benefit of man, the both institutions and the nation at large.
Earlier in her speech and presentation at the occasion, the Acting Director General of FIIRO Dr. (Mrs) Agnes Asagbra said that it will be the joy of the Institute and the nation's development, if the MoU does not end up only on paper but practically actualized as "FIIRO has the human and capital resources to bring the collaboration to a fruition."
Dr. Asagbra who noted that Ekiti had been renowned as the cradle or fountain of knowledge, also disclosed that FIIRO has been involved in many landmark Researches, particularly into Agricultural processing and products, added that some of the research has been patented and further enhanced for industry and commercialization.
The Acting Chief Executive Officer, who laced her speech with presentation of a documentary, which detailed the activities, mandate and efforts of the 1956 founded FIIRO so far, expressed the hope that the signing of the MoU will be beneficial to the Staff and Students of the Polytechnic, as well as Staff of FIIRO and Nigeria as a whole.

On April 26, 2018, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) announced that it will terminate Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for Nepal, now the fifth country to recently lose its protected status. The termination will go into effect on June 24, 2019, according to DHS Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen. TPS is a type of temporary protection given to individuals who are already present in the U.S. and who are from countries experiencing issues that make it unsafe for them to return. TPS permits individuals to remain in the U.S. temporarily, work in the U.S., and sometimes, to travel abroad during their TPS status.
This decision affects nearly 9,000 Nepalese citizens, who were allowed to remain in the U.S. with work authorization and protection from deportation following a devastating earthquake in 2015.
Nepal will be the fifth country to lose its protected status under the Trump Administration, following termination of TPS for Sudan, Nicaragua, Haiti, and El Salvador. The DHS has announced that it is examining whether to terminate Honduras's status; that decision will likely be announced by July 2018.
Nepalese citizens with TPS who are unable to change their status to another lawful status will no longer be shielded from deportation and will lose their employment authorization on June 24, 2019.
For more information about the TPS program, see our previous blogs.
If you have a question about how the cancellation of TPS will affect you, your family, or your business, please schedule a consultation with our attorneys.


Odds are decent you've seen this video of dogs shaking in super slow-motion (and if you haven't yet, you should – it's a slobbery good time). What you may not know is that there's actually some really fascinating science behind the wet-dog (and, more broadly, the wet-mammal) shake.
Last year, researchers led by Georgia Institue of Technology biologist David Hu demonstrated that the shake of a wet mammal – be it a mouse, a dog or a bear – is anything but random. In fact, they show that the frequency of an animal's shake (i.e., the number of times it oscillates its body per second) is tuned to "(i) the animal's size and (ii) the properties of water, namely surface tension and density." This way, the animal can remove a maximal amount of water with minimal physical effort. A large dog, for instance, can shed as much as 70% of the water in its fur in just four seconds.
Check out the study, or read our writeup on the research, for more details.

This is a very well written combat memoir, written shortly after the end of the Boer War (1899-1902) by one of it's youngest participants. Deneys Reitz was 17 when the war began and he immediately joined up. He was Boer but educated in English and his father was an official in the Boer government. He fought in nearly all of the most well-known battles of the war and stuck it out all the way to the bitter end. This is one of the best combat memoirs ever written about any war at any time or place. The Boer War was the preview to WWI in many ways, seeing the first use of barbed wire and the first use of smokeless powder, both of which changed warfare in fundamental ways. It was also the first war in which the British Army lost more men to combat than disease. Early in the war, while he was on a brief leave, Reitz accompanied his father to a POW camp where they met Winston Churchill. Reitz' account should be compared to Churchill's own, which is included in his own history of the war. Was Churchill carrying a Mauser pistol when captured or not? You decide. The best overall history of the war is by Thomas Pakenham, which is also a classic of military history. Reading these two books together will take you into the heart of a little-known conflict that began the 20th century and foreshadowed much of the bloody decades that followed. Deneys Reitz later fought on the British side in France during WWI and left a memoir of that experience that is also very much worth reading. He was a very intelligent, very observant man, with a rare ability to write in English, which was one of five languages he spoke.
Conjulhala
This book is a memoir of a young man, a Boer of south Africa and his fellowmen who battled against the colonial rule of the British in the second Boer war - they lost and became vassals of Britain. In many ways their battles against the British army parallel our USA revolution of 1776 except their fight for freedom ended in 1902. The Boers were not skillful tacticians. They used hit and run tactics that only pecked away at the British. The British had some 50,000 trained soldiers from the British Empire, Australian, Canada, Newfoundland, British India, New Zealand and South Africa sympathizers like the Tories of our revolution
A good history of the common soldier, their deprivation, starvation, discouragement and death.
Winail
I decided to read this book because of my overall ignorance of the Boer War and the fact that much of what I do know has come from the British side. However, being that the writer was just another average guy on a horse, it's hard to get any sort of overview of what was going on during the time he was fighting the British. There is no big picture, but there is a lot of riding through beautiful country and sometimes harsh weather with companions who come and go, a lot of bravery and privation and, in the end, defeat. However, Mr. Reitz is an engaging writer, and while I'm not certain I want to read his account of his exile from his homeland following the end of this war, I will probably at some point take on his third volume, which regards his service in World War I with -- ironically -- the British.
Swordsong
An excellent books of the exploits of a Denys Reitz, who at 17 joined the Boer Army for the fight for their freedom. The journal follows Mr. Reitz from his initial battle at Ladysmith to the final surrender of the Boer forces several years later. The information in his journal is a detailed account of his "commando" or unit (regiment) during the war with death, sickness and treachery of the British forces. The book will interest those who would want to know about the second Boer War, the life of a private in the army and how the British finally prevailed.
Balhala
Reading this book was a bit of an ordeal. There's nothing exciting, beautiful, or astounding about the story. Rather than that, it's a slow, foot-slogging, and seemingly pointless account of one youth's trek through a war. And that war had, as far as can be determined by this book, no redeeming value that made it's prosecution of any value. Nevertheless, it's worth the trouble and effort to get it under your belt, particularly if you happen to be a young man facing service in a war called for by others but for reasons you don't understand. The fear, deprivation, euphoria and guilt, sorrow, killing . . . these things are present and must be dealt with in any conflict.
Anasius
An amazing story told in a dispassionate way that re-enforces the tragedy for all those involved, British or Boer.There is plenty here for the student of South African history but it can stand alone as an adventure story based on fact although you have to wonder how he can remember how everything happened in such detail. Perhaps there is poetic licence in the writing but he tells the story as well as any Frederick Forsyth or Robert Harris.
The reader instinctively hostile to the Boers' cause will find sections to support that position but equally will find reasons to feel sympathy for the Boer who was fighting for his homeland against a global military power and the writer who was fighting to survive in a nasty little war.
I would have given five stars but the book lacks photos and maps.
.If ever there was a book that cried out to be made into a film this is it.
Anarawield
I'm not much of a history buff and I don't think I've ever managed to get through a memoir of any war until I read this book. It is exceptional.The Boer War in South Africa had always been a mystery to me--but no longer--thanks to a young (20-ish) former soldier who wrote the book right after the war was over and he was exiled in Madagascar. It is a war seen from the ground up in an era when fighting on horseback was still the norm.
I would definitely recommend this.

Travellers set up camp close to A66 in Middlesbrough
The collection of around 10 caravans alongside a number of cars have parked up on grass at the Middlehaven junction
Ian McNealDigital Editor
A group of travellers has set up on land next to the A66 in Middlesbrough.
The collection of around 10 caravans alongside a number of cars have parked up on grass at the Middlehaven junction.
The vehicles, a number of which have European number plates, arrived on Saturday afternoon. Youngsters could be seen playing in a paddling pool in the middles of the camp.
The arrival is the latest in a spate of traveller encampments in recent years.
Vehicles were previously parked nearby the current site in the disused car park of the 'ghost' Sainsbury's store at Middlehaven.
Other temporary sites have included Stewart Park in Marton, Pallister Park and the former Toys R Us store at Teesside Park.

Windows Phone 7 shows off unlockable features in apps
Thread: Windows Phone 7 shows off unlockable features in apps
14th June 2010, 05:39 #1
LeeW
Microsoft demonstrated one of their latest features, unlockable games from the trial-mode directly inside of the application, as spotted by istartedsomething. Unlike Apple and Google's mobile marketplace, Microsoft will allow users to instantly upgrade games after trying it first from right inside the app.
Microsoft has included a handy API for developers (LicenseInfo) to allow users to play the trial game first, then unlock the game without downloading another app. Microsoft is using the same concept as their Xbox360 Arcade marketplace, where users download the full game but with limited features, and can unlock the game without having to download again.
Apple and Google's Android currently allows users to download trial versions of games, and if they wish to purchase it, requires the user to purchase and download the full version of the game.
Although including trial-modes in games are not a requirement by Microsoft, it can be very helpful for developers, and even users, to maintain one code, one application and to also limit what features the trial can offer.
With the ability to support licenses for games and applications, developers can include subscription based services into their applications, with the possibility of unlocking specific features for advanced users, while standard users wouldn't need to pay for services they don't need.

Minecraft gets release date
Written by David Hing
April 8, 2011 | 13:29
Tags: #minecraft #minecraft-release-date
Companies: #mojang-productions
Indie sensation Minecraft is set to finally shed its beta tag and get an official release on 11 November this year.
According to the game's creator, Markus Notch, the full version will not be radically different from the beta, and Mojang (the game's developer) will continue to add features as it does now.
'It's really more of a milestone when we finally get rid of the beta label, and some kind of goal for us to work towards,' said Notch on his blog. 'The plan is to be open with this and try to get people to cheer us on as much as possible.'
Minecraft has been on sale since it was in its alpha stage, albeit a very stable one. Notch is a big proponent of the idea of open development. 'I'd definitely want to release future games in the same way,' said Notch on a recent Reddit comment thread. 'Developing in the dark is scary and probably wrong.'
Minecraft development studio Mojang has also been working on a weather system recently. When patch 1.5 is released, Notch states there will be periodic snow and rain in relevant areas, which will make the sky darker and hide the sun, moon and stars.
To date, Minecraft has sold around 1.8million copies and has already raked in around €23 million (about £20million).

Donation and Transplantation
It took Garrett Stackman just six hours to save the life of a man he'd never met—a man with three children, a wife, parents and a lot of friends.
Stackman, who lives in Potomac, Md., donated stem cells to a New York man after he turned up as a match on the National Marrow Donor list. The stem cells saved the life of Jim Briggs, who had acute myelogenous leukemia but is now in remission.
"It's one of the more important things I'll do in my life," said Stackman, who added that he'd do it again in a heartbeat. (Read more.)
Linda Cheatham calls every day "an ice cream sundae with a great big glob of whipped cream and a cherry on top" because a donated kidney gave her a life in which she can work and live normally. She speaks not just for herself, but for 10 members of her family who also needed kidney transplants. (Read more.)
Right this minute, more than 100,000 people in the U.S. are waiting for organ transplants that could save their lives.
At any given time, 6,000 people are searching for a matched bone marrow donor or cord blood unit.
They are all counting on people they probably don't even know to be generous and donate the organs, tissue, marrow and cord blood that could make all the difference.
HRSA oversees the donation and allocation systems that ensure these life-saving gifts are given fairly and efficiently to the people who need them most.
HRSA also works to increase donation, help donors and improve the health outcomes of people who have transplants.
The number of people waiting for a donated organ in the United States surpassed 100,000 for the first time on October 6, 2008.
About 75 percent of those awaiting organs need kidneys—the most commonly transplanted organ.
Each year, more than 10,000 people with life-threatening diseases need bone marrow or cord blood transplants.
Only 30 percent of 10,000 people have a relative who is a suitable marrow or cord blood donor.

El AGM-130 es un misil aire-superficie estadounidense diseñado para realizar ataques de largo alcance contra blancos enemigos de gran valor. Básicamente es un versión propulsada por cohete de la bomba guiada GBU-15, el motor cohete incrementa la distancia de lanzamiento y por tanto ofrece al avión que sirve como plataforma de lanzamiento protección contra cualquier defensa que pueda estar protegiendo el blanco. El cazabombardero F-15E puede portar dos de estas armas.

El arma utiliza un sistema de guiado de navegación inercial complementado por un sistema de posicionamiento global (GPS). Puede ser controlada en vuelo; la cabeza de guiado del arma proporciona una imagen visual del blanco al avión que la lanza a través de enlace de datos AXQ-14, permitiendo que el oficial de armas la dirija hacia el blanco, o bien dejar que el arma se dirija al objetivo por si sola. El arma puede cambiar de blanco una vez lanzada simplemente indicándole otro blanco. El AGM-130 es un arma de gran precisión, y está destinada a ser usada contra blancos de alto valor que se encuentren tanto en movimiento como en una posición fija.

The rosemary add a very nice flavor to the crust.
Another good recipe. I liked the combination of spinach and mushrooms. I used cottage cheese instead of ricotta, and reduced the other fluids a bit. The tart turned out fine.
A light tasting, but filling soup due to the barley used. I do think it might benefit from either using all broth, rather than more than half the liquid being water, or from more intensive seasoning; Probably would work well with dill, basil, or marjoram. Makes quite a large pot of soup.
This is delicious - very complex and interesting. At first, I almost skipped using clarified butter because it seemed like it shouldn't matter. I think it does though, because it lets the curry powder bloom or caramelize or something.
This was a refreshing, lemony salad, very nice for a summer's day, and quite filling when accompanied by good bread and cheese. I used frozen corn, but certainly fresh would have been better. More parsley could have been added for my taste, or some other herb to give it a little more depth of flavor as it was just a bit ordinary tasting. Probably would be great to pack for a picnic.
This vinaigrette has a strong flavour, and works well with grain salads made with bulgur or farro.
Made for Tea '17. I made mine mini size so 18 to a batch instead of 8. I misread the recipe and therefore had to add the sugar at the end (because I didn't realize this counted as one of the dry ingredients. This did not appear to affect the outcome as they were still light and airy and pleasantly sweet. Both Claire and I approved. Batter can be made ahead and frozen Baked from frozen at 400 for 12 minutes.
The idea for this recipe is good, but next time I will use more ginger, I found the muffins quite bland. But the again I LOVE ginger, maybee it works for you?
This is a great recipe for cream cheese frosting. I use this to top the carrot apple cake from Huckleberry's Cookbook.
p. 289 -- I used my vintage enameled bundt pan that measures 10" across and the batter and large amount of apples just barely fit... I was actually nervous that it would overflow in the oven but it rose exactly to the top of the pan. Unfortunately, despite copious buttering and flouring it stuck pretty badly and broke when I was getting it out of the pan. I tried to cover it with the glaze but that actually made it look worse. :/ Still, my coworkers demolished this cake so I guess it tasted pretty good despite being ugly!
p. 290 -- Great idea to add maple syrup to a confectioner's sugar glaze, but this came out a bit clumpy despite sifting and just didn't look that appealing on the cake. The flavor was good with the Apple Spice Bundt Cake from the same book though.
A cookbook in the tradition of The Silver Palate and The Barefoot Contessa . . .
In New York City, famous for its food and restaurants, locals are reverential about the bakeshop and café Once Upon a Tart. For more than a decade, they have been lining up at the store mornings and afternoons, waiting patiently for their signature scones, muffins, soups, salads, sandwiches, cookies, and - of course - tarts. And pretty much since the day the café opened, patrons have been asking - sometimes begging--the proprietors for their sweet and savory recipes. Good news: the wait is over.
In Once Upon a Tart, the café's founders and co-owners, Jerome Audureau (a New Yorker via France) and Frank Mentesana (a New Yorker via New Jersey), go public with their culinary secrets ("We don't have any," says Frank. "That's our biggest secret of all") and recipes. They also tell their inspiring success story, from selling tarts wholesale out of a warehouse in Long Island City to opening their now-famous outpost in Soho.
In nine delicious chapters ranging from savory tarts to cookies, the authors instruct and advise home cooks on everything from how to make the flakiest tart crust ("keep the dough cold") to making sandwiches ("condiments are key") to how to diet ("you want half the calories, eat half the scone"). Once Upon a Tart is packed with more than 225 easy-to-prepare recipes, including all the store classics that have earned Frank and Jerome the devotion of their customers: Caramelized-Leek-and-Celery Tart, Creamy Carrot Soup with Fresh Dill, Pork Loin Sandwich with Frisée and Rosemary-Garlic Aioli, Buttermilk Scones with Dried Currants, Banana - Poppy Seed Muffins, and Strawberry-Rhubarb Tart with Crisp Topping.
Says Frank, "We believe that deep down, everyone is a cook." Adds Jerome, "And that a little butter in your life is a good thing."

Alexander Harris '21
By kcbush June 3, 2021 Student Spotlight
More Student Spotlights
Alexander Harris is a senior with a long-standing history as a Knox student. He joined the school community in the seventh grade and each year, has experienced tremendous growth academically and socially. Over the years, Alex has cultivated an intense passion for social justice issues and has been an instrumental agent of change at The Knox School.
Without Alex's strong drive to impact positive change on Knox's campus, several student-driven clubs may not have seen such success. Alex began Knox's Gay/Straight Alliance, the Black Student Union, and played a role in the success of the Equity and Inclusion Support Group.
During his senior year, Alex was appointed to the Student Council position of Equity and Inclusion Officer, a position that did not exist prior to the 2020/2021 school year. Within this role, he prepared several educational seminars and presentations to raise awareness of issues impacting underserved communities such as Indigenous Americans and queer and transgender men and women within our communities.
Next year, Alex will join the freshman class of the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA), majoring in Psychology. Prestigious UCLA is highly ranked – #20 in the nation – and the Knox community could not be happier for Alex. While his presence will be missed on campus, he will always have a Home Beside the Shore! Good luck, Alex!


Hyper-V must be enabled on your desktop system. Docker Desktop for Windows automatically enables it upon install. See this article on the Microsoft developer network for instructions on how to manually enable Hyper-V.
You must use an Administrator level account to create and manage Hyper-V machines.
You need an existing virtual switch to use the driver. Hyper-V can share an external network interface (also known as bridging). See this blog to learn more. If you would like to use NAT, create an internal network, and use Internet Connection Sharing.
This reference page includes an example showing you how to use an elevated (Administrator-level) PowerShell and create and use an external network switch.
--hyperv-disable-dynamic-memory: Disable dynamic memory management.
1. Make sure Hyper-V is enabled.
Hyper-V is automatically enabled on a Docker Desktop for Windows installation. To enable it manually, see instructions on how to manually enable Hyper-V on the Microsoft developer network.
Note: If you already have an external network switch, skip this setup and use that one instead.
Select the Virtual Switch Manager on the right-hand Actions panel.
Reboot your desktop system to clear out any routing table problems. Without a reboot first, docker-machine create ... might get hung up on Waiting for host to start.... If you are still hung on "Waiting for host to start..." after you reboot, make sure you selected the correct network in the Virtual Switch Manager.
Start an "elevated" PowerShell with administrator privileges. To do this, search for PowerShell, then right click and choose Run as administrator.
As a point of interest, the virtual machines you create with docker-machine create show up in the Hyper-V Manager under "Virtual Machines", but you need to manage them with docker-machine commands and not through the Hyper-V Manager.

Physician assistants, also known as PAs, practice medicine under the supervision of surgeons and physicians. Physician assistants are concerned with preventing, maintaining, and treating a number of illnesses by providing care and advice under a physician. PAs also record medical histories, examine and treat patients, order tests and analyze results, and call diagnoses. They are also responsible for helping with minor injuries that may include sutures or casts, and recommending therapy and rehabilitation efforts for patients.
Physician assistants should not be confused with medical secretaries, in that they perform administrative and clerical tasks relating to the medical field. PAs may work in specialized areas such as primary care, general medicine, pediatric, emergency care, orthopedics, family medicine, and surgery. PAs that also specialize in surgery assist with before and after care with the patient, and may work as an assistant during a lengthy or major surgery. In some cases, PAs may also serve as principle providers in clinics and medical buildings where a physician is only present a few times a week. Those PAs are required by law, to discuss treatments and issues with the supervising physician or medical professionals, before they make recommendations or orders for patients.
PAs can work in a number of different settings including hospitals, clinics, medical offices, home health care, and schools. According to a 2008 AAPA census, 56% of PAs worked in physicians' offices or clinics, while 24% worked in hospitals. Many PAs working in hospitals work nights and weekends, and may also be on call when not working. A PAs work schedule may also depend heavily on the work schedule of their supervising physician.
Employment opportunities for physician assistants are expected to grow much faster than the average. Employment projection by the Bureau of Labor Statistics expect to see a 39% job growth in PAs by 2018, bringing in at least 29,000 new jobs. Additionally, PAs earned median annual wages of $81,230 in 2008.


These could also apply in the event your rental dumpster is heavier in relation to the allowed tonnage in the landfill or transfer station. As the dumpsters are absolutely heavy and may do important damage if not properly supported. To begin with, you will need to think about whether you will need a dumpster in the slightest.
A number of the type of waste hauled within this dumpster might include home debris, construction and demolition waste too. It is very important to estimate the sum of waste materials you've got before you rent a dumpster. You are going to be asked to remove every one of the excess waste and must schedule another pickup date.
After the dumpster arrives there are quite a few things you will want to hold in mind, first is always to prepare a suitable location for the container. This is actually the massive challenge to undertake. The very first thing they are planning to to need to know is the sort of waste material you are going to be putting within the canister and how much of it there will be.
There are just three simple steps which you'll desire to complete to really get the correct dumpster in Kansas City at the most outstanding price. The top part is that you need to do is throw the proper trash into the ideal bin! The best method to find out your cost should be to consult together with the dumpster company concerning the specific nature of materials you'll be disposing.
There are not any hidden costs and charges, and you could always receive a last junk hauling quote with a fast phone call. Taking a number of moments to gather the information which each corporation will require in order to offer a selling price quote is time well spent. You merely call, schedule, pay, and relish your clutter-free space.
It merely takes a couple minutes and answering a couple of questions and you would have everything underway. You can prevent the bother of file the request in the office because it can be done at house and the results are displayed in only a few seconds. Should you need a dumpster for longer than every week, of course there'll be another charge.
Overall, they offer all the services and data required to deal with the construction trash efficiently so it's possible to spend less and time. Typically for these forms of projects, you might need the convenience unit for anywhere from a brief time to some days. A generous rental period is included with each container and extra days are obtainable for a nominal fee, so you may finish your project without hurried stress along with the hassle of creating several trips to your own local landfill.
This definitely is an affordable and cost efficacious way to maintain nutritious sanitation. There are many of efficient, earth-safe cleaners which one can purchase or make. We have quite a few options for your own purchase and cater everything to your own precise waste removal requirements.
This is among typically the most popular dumpster sizes due to its price, compact footprint and capacity. Let's know what size you'd like, and what you anticipate putting within the dumpster. Select a bigger dumpster if you're unsure about what size you'll need for your project.
Your rate may fluctuate depending in your market and also the true debris, weight, etc.. The shipping truck should maneuver a small bit to release the dumpster. If you rent a bigger unit, you'll pay a greater cost for a dumpster.
The following step within the procedure is to select your dumpster size. There are various elements to sustainability. They are going to drop off the container in the renters home or company and pick this up.
Based on the sort of business will reflect what class of service is necessary, and will further reflect what size dumpster will have to be rented. A dumpster rents for a established quantity of time and every size has its very own weight limit. Once we've recommended the ideal size of for your demands, we'll request that you pick out a shipping time that suits into your hectic schedule with perfection.

'I'm not playing ducks and drakes': Postecoglou gives Giakoumakis update
Kyogo double as league leaders Celtic ease past St Mirren with 4-0 win
Celtic defender Carl Starfelt praised Yuki Kobayashi on an assured Celtic debut and welcomed the competition for places at the club.
Kobayashi completed his move from Vissel Kobe at the beginning of the transfer window but has had to wait for his first start in a Celtic jersey.
A minor injury to Cameron Carter-Vickers created an opportunity for the Japanese defender and he got his chance in Wednesday's 4-0 win over St Mirren.
Starfelt, who moved to the right-side of central defence to accommodate his new partner, was impressed with the new arrival.
"I thought he played really well," Starfelt said. "It was a good debut for him. He was cool on the ball and he won his duels. He was really good.
"Was it a welcome to Scotland? Yes. That is what a lot of the games are like here. It's very physical.
"I think he did really well and he showed he can handle it. I didn't give him too much advice, just the normal stuff like getting to know each other and knowing how close to be to each other to help each other out.
"The competition for places is really good, it pushes everyone. It keeps everyone on their toes and on edge, while developing their games. The rest is up to the coach."
After maintaining their nine-point lead in the Premiership, Celtic now turn their attention to the Scottish Cup and their fourth round tie against Morton.
Starfelt and his teammates have ambitions to lift the trophy and know there is no room for slip-ups.
"It's the cup and you only have one chance," he said. "If you have been in football for a while you know anything can happen.
"It doesn't really matter what league you come from.
"You really need to be focused and if you relax even 10 percent then anything can happen.
"That will be the message we get before the games and all of the players know it.
"I hope – no, I know – there is no risk of complacency."


The eighth album from the leading Hungarian Folk metal band Dalriada was released on September 7th 2015 by Nail Records / Hammer Music, which follows the group's tradition as it carries the traditional name of the month July. "Áldás" was available at "Rock On! Fest" one day before the official release date. The album release show was at FolkFest in the company of Korpiklaani, Arkona and Kylfingar on November 6th 2015.
"Áldás" opened at the second place in its release week on the main Hungarian album chart Mahasz and kept itself in the TOP40 ever since. There was also one week when all of Dalriada's CDs so far were in the TOP30.
The crème of the Hungarian rock / metal scene was featured on "Áldás". Famous vocals guests were: Schrott Péter (Tűzmadár), Nagy Gábor (Wisdom) and Szebényi Dániel (ex-Avatar, ex-Hard, ex-Kard, ex-Phoenix Files, Atilla Fiai Társulat). In the song called "Úri toborzó" Cserfalvi Zoltán solo guitarist (Iron Maidnem, Chronology, ex-Ossian, ex-Eclipse, ex-Euphoria, ex-Lady Macbeth/Machbeth, ex-Rémkoppantók, etc.) plays. Boross Béla (Iron Maidnem, Chronology, ex-Tequila Sunrise) featured in "Moldvageddon"The new video of Dalriada has arrived. The first short movie from Áldás album was recorded by Mihaszna Film and it has two main characters. The story goes back to the folk tale times.
"Our new album was released in September 2015 and at the same time entered the MAHASZ charts. During that autumn / winter we recorded our new video as well for the title song "Áldás". The crew was Mihaszna Film. They also made our previous video, "A Dudás".
You should see this multi-actor video several times to fully understand. Both concept and design are the work of Nagy Viktor who brought nothing less than wonderful professionalism and creativity to the co-operation.
We are planning a new video, to be shot this spring for the song "Moldvageddon". We are going to use mainly snapshots and short video scenes recorded on tour in 2015. This will be a "backstage" kind of video.
The beginning of 2016 is about preparing and recording our long planned acoustic album. The expected release date will be around May. Besides 11 well-known Dalriada songs it will contain two famous Hungarian and one international song cover. Finally we will set a poem from a Hungarian poet to music. That is the structure of our upcoming album, featuring 15 songs. The studio work is already in progress.
Our next big event will be on May 13th as we are going to give a big show at Barba Negra Music Club in Budapest. This will be a special night as guests and friends of ours will take part in it as well. The show will be separated in two sections: there will be an acoustic session as the premiere of the acoustic album. The other part will be a pure metal set - containing mainly songs of "Áldás".
Orange County, CA-based rock band Of Mice & Men and Rise Records have announced the release of "The Full Circle Story," a stunning 5-part documentary series that will stream on the band's website every Monday beginning today. "The Full Circle Story" will only be visible to those who sign up for Of Mice & Men's all new fan club, The Ampersand. A trailer for the series can be viewed at HERE.
"It's been an extreme past half year of broken ribs, head, hips, and tour dates. After initial surgeries, followed by more medical exams & tests, and physical therapy multiple times a week, the last few months have been a real hurdle for me, mentally and physically. Now that we've reached the other side, I'm ready to get the relentless machine that is Of Mice & Men back on track. It will start in March with two and a half months in the studio recording our new album. Then a UK / European festival run (taking in Slamdunk and Rock Am Ring/rock Im Park). Next up we will be opening for Slipknot & MM all Summer long in America, playing various American rock radio festivals along the way, including Chicago Open Air Festival. We hope our new documentary series "The Full Circle Story" will hold you over for now. We put a lot of time and energy into it and hope you enjoy watching part of our Artemis journey and just how it all came Full Circle. See you on the road. Tell everyone you know, Of mice & men is back." says Austin Carlile.
Directed by Jon Stone, "The Full Circle Story" was shot over the course of the past year, following the band as they traveled around the world performing sold-out shows for an international fan-base whose members number in the millions. Along the way, the quintet (vocalist Austin Carlile, guitarist Alan Ashby, drummer Valentino Arteaga, vocalist/bassist Aaron Pauley and guitarist Phil Manansala) released Restoring Force, which hit No. 4 on the Billboard Top 200 Album Chart and No. 1 on both the Billboard Top Independent and Top Rock Albums Charts, shared stages with artists such as Metallica, Linkin Park and Queens of the Stone Age, blanketed rock radio airwaves, garnered critical acclaim and amassed over 20 million YouTube views and close to 5 million social media followers on the strength of an blistering sound and live show.
"The Full Circle Story" places fans on both sides of the stage: capturing electrifying concert footage, then going behind the scenes for a rare glimpse at the inner workings of the band that's being hailed as "the leaders of metal's new revolution." Stone previously worked with Of Mice & Men on last year's "Identity Disorder" video.
"'The Full Circle Story' offers the viewer an incredibly unique perspective—our perspective," says Pauley. "The 5-part series takes the viewer on a wild international journey through our past few years, as seen through our eyes. It also showcases some of our favourite moments since the release of Restoring Force, complete with live footage from shows played around the world and interviews from the band. With the help of our friend Jon Stone, 'The Full Circle Story' captures what it's like to be in Of Mice & Men, and we can't wait to share that experience with our fans in a way we never have before."
Hell or Highwater, the rock band featuring Atreyu drummer / vocalist Brandon Saller on lead vocals, have signed to Search & Destroy / Spinefarm Records. They will release "Vista" via the label in 2016.
"We're so incredibly excited to be a part of the Spinefarm/Search & Destroy family. We've been crafting this album for two years and can't wait to share it with the world," Saller enthused.
Since their inception, Hell or Highwater have earned comparisons to acts like Foo Fighters and Muse, thanks to their knack for crafting unforgettable and uplifting rock songs.
Hell or Highwater honed their live chops by securing a spot on the annual Uproar Tour in 2013 and also toured the world with the likes of Avenged Sevenfold, whose frontman M. Shadows contributed vocals on the song "Go Alone," as well as Stone Sour and The Used.
They've survived van wrecks and line-up changes but they've emerged stronger than ever and are eager to start their next chapter and deliver new material to fans.
Hell or High-water resurfaced last year with a new song and video for "I'll Be Waiting," which you can watch here.
Metallica announced on Friday that they will reissue their first two albums "Kill 'Em All" and "Ride The Lightning" on April 15th. Both albums have been remastered for the most advanced sound quality and will be available in three formats – CD, vinyl, and Deluxe Box set. Both Deluxe Box sets include original source material from the band's personal collection with many never before heard OR seen recordings, along with a book including rare photos and essays from those who were there.
Fans can pre-order both Deluxe Box sets at the Met Store now and all six new items will, of course, also be available at your local record store on Friday April 15th, just in time for Record Store Day.
Hot on the heels of their much lauded second release "Cauterize", Tremonti returns with companion album "Dust". "Dust" is scheduled for release on April 29th via Fret 12 Records. The album, which was recorded during same sessions as "Cauterize", features Mark Tremonti on vocals / guitars, Eric Friedman on guitars, Wolfgang Van Halen on bass, and Garrett Whitlock on drums. Long-time friend and collaborator, Michael "Elvis" Baskette, produced "Dust".
To coincide with the announcement of "Dust", several exclusive fan bundle pre-orders are now available at https://fret12.com/store/tremonti-dust. These bundles include autographed CD's, t-shirts, hoodies, and other exciting experiences for the Tremonti fan.
Mark Tremonti is the Grammy Award-winning guitarist and songwriter known for his work in the internationally renowned bands Alter Bridge and Creed. Having sold over 40 million records worldwide, this is the man behind massive hits like "My Own Prison", "Higher", "Isolation" and "Addicted To Pain." His recognizable sound has garnered him a loyal fan base across the globe. Guitar World dubbed him "Guitarist of the Year" three consecutive years in a row, and he ranked as the "fourth greatest heavy metal guitarist ever" in Total Guitar.
Korpiklaani are very pleased to announce that they are currently working on their first ever DVD release! The DVD will contain exclusive live footage filmed across two shows in 2015, with more live footage due to be filmed this year. A sensational live CD will also accompany the release.
Lucky UK fans will have a chance to be a part of the live CD! Part of the audio for the CD will be recorded throughout Korpiklaani's upcoming UK tour alongside Moonsorrow this April.
Korpiklaani's DVD & Live CD release will be due out late 2016 / early 2017.
Korpiklaani and Moonsorrow will be embarking on a UK co-headline tour this April entitled the "Finnish Folk Metal Mafia Tour".
The tour (which is part of a larger EU tour) will take the bands though 7 different European countries, hitting the UK on 20th April at the O2 Islington Academy, London – culminating on 28th April at 1865 in Southampton. This is a tour not to be missed!
Swedish riff lords Grand Magus have announced their new studio album will be titled: 'Sword Songs'.

Went to Haven last night. It was their pirate party so I dressed all pirate like in a white pesant shirt, blue skirt, blue and white bandana, big gold hoop earings, and mardi gras pearls doubled. There were lots of other people dressed as pirates there, which was awesome. I don't think i've seen that much color at Haven ever *grin* Got to see people and talked with DJ Addam a bit about wedding stuff. He has lots of garb, yay!
The first band was actually pretty good, from what i sort of heard.
And the Cruxshadows...well, they're the Cruxshadows. I didn't know a lot of what they played since I don't have the new album. But I liked it. Of course since Stacy has left the band and ~l wasn't there, standing to the front left of the stage didn't have the same appeal that it used to. Eventually I wandered towards the back where I could dance more (damn young-uns not givin' me space to dance). At one point there was this guy who was really out of it was getting into Rouge's personal space as he came down amongst us lowely mortals. But security got to him pretty quickly. In good points, I finally got to hear "Cassandra" and Rouge did a fairly a cappella "White Rabbit" which was really cool. It was interesting to hear who knew the song and who didn't (made me feel old skool and stuff...am I really turning 25 in a week??). And it was the new guitarist (who does have more energy on stage than Stacy did, but while being cute, is not nearly as cute as Stacy) birthday, so we sang him happy birthday all gothic like or something. It almost sounded like a dirge. They didn't play "Euridice" even though the crowd was calling for it :( but they do use hubris correctly and have two Apple laptops (connected to the keybords).
Of course now I am tired, even though the coffee is kicking in. And sore from going to the gym again (i'm really going to try to go regularly) and then dancing after that. and I left my headphones at home. grrrrr!

Front Page Politics U.S. WorldWND EXCLUSIVE
N. Korea's likely 1st target pinpointed
Kim's bellicose rhetoric about nuclear war ramping up
By F. Michael Maloof
WASHINGTON – An expert on North Korea predicts the isolated Hermit Kingdom could stage "some kind" of attack or bombing within a few days on the Korean Peninsula amid heightened rhetoric about nuclear war.
Sung-Yoon Lee said the recent bluster is "unusual for [North Korea's] standards."
North Korean threats could include wiping out an inhabited South Korean island, and it is "not mere rhetoric," Lee told the open source Langley Intelligence Group Network, or Lignet, in an exclusive interview.
Lee is the Kim Koo Korea Foundation professor in Korean Studies and an assistant professor at Tufts University's Fletcher School.
Lee said that the bellicose rhetoric from North Korea could be boxing in North Korea's 28-year-old leader, Kim Jong-un, and that if he doesn't act, he could lose face.
Other analysts believe Kim is attempting to prove to a skeptical military leadership that he can be tougher than his father, Kim Jong-il.
Consequently, Lee believes that North Korea will spark a military incident within the next couple of days.
He doesn't believe the sending of U.S. B-2s during a joint U.S.-South Korean military exercise was the source of the new threats.
On the contrary, he believes the B-2 flights may dampen the North's enthusiasm for engaging in further military provocations.
Meanwhile, North Korea continues to raise the specter of nuclear war, but this time on the Korean Peninsula, according to a statement by the Korean Central News Agency, or KCNA. The KCNA is the official mouthpiece of the North Korean leadership.
North Korean officials have another outlook on the B-2s. They see them as a basis for staging "nuclear war exercises striking simulated in-depth targets of the DPRK," the KCNA statement said.
The DPRK, or Democratic People's Republic of Korea, is the formal name of North Korea. Over the past weekend, the U.S. dispatched F-22 stealth fighter jets to South Korea for military exercises that are to continue through the month.
The North Koreans pointed out that the U.S. deputy secretary of defense had flown to South Korea "to finally examine the preparations for a nuclear war against the DPRK and openly said that the U.S. military attaches top priority to the second Korean war, giving green light to a nuclear war."
The North Koreans said the combined forces of South Korea and U.S. also want to target "the dignity of the supreme leadership of the DPRK with the use of lethal striking means and methods of U.S. imperialist aggression forces and the south Korean puppet army."
"All the developments clearly show that the U.S. and south Korean aggression moves to conquer the DPRK, the strategic vantage, are leading to an outbreak of a nuclear war," the KCNA statement said.
"Supreme Commander of the Korean People's Army Marshal Kim Jong-un at 0:30 Friday finally examined and ratified the plan for firepower strike of the KPA strategic rocket forces so that they may strike any time the U.S. mainland and its military bases in Hawaii, Guam and south Korea," it said.
"It is the steadfast will of the DPRK to react to the U.S. nuclear blackmail with merciless nuclear attacks, and war of aggression with a total war of justice," the KCNA statement added.
Lee believes the U.S. approach over the years to negotiations with North Korea has been based on wishful thinking.
He said that just because Kim has lived in Switzerland and received some of his education there doesn't mean he will be more open to change and cooperation with the world. To the contrary, "exposure to European cosmopolitanism is not a cure for totalitarian tendencies," Lee said.
To underscore this view, Lee pointed to Cambodian dictator Pol Pot, who had spent four years in Paris during his 20s, but committed one of history's greatest genocides against his own people.
He also referred to Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, who studied medicine in England, but "this has not stopped him from killing tens of thousands of his countrymen."
Lee said that critical sanctions never should have been lifted during the administration of President George W. Bush, and North Korea should not have been removed from the U.S. state sponsors terror list.
He said while the U.S. needs to take North Korea seriously, Pyongyang actually has had the advantage, believing it has "tamed" not only the U.S., Japan and South Korea but some of its closest friends, Russia and China.
In pointing to North Korea's vulnerabilities, Kim said the U.S. must exploit them by clamping down on its sources of revenue from illegal activities, including counterfeiting, drug trafficking and selling missile technology, and restoring sanctions suspended by the Bush administration.
Other sources have talked about an economic blockade on North Korea, but China has stated it would not support such an effort.
Lee sees some kind of North Korean attack over the next several days that may be limited in scope to back up its high-pitched rhetoric, believing the U.S. and South Korea will return to the bargaining table in the next few months with more "rewards."
