Manchester United are heading up the list of sought-after players ahead of GW26 as Huddersfield come to town - but there's more to the next few weeks than Jose Mourinho's side.

With United a little bit unreliable going forward of late, we've got the best way to cover them defensively as well as other players to sign.

They include a form pick and a fixture pick...

Who should I buy for GW26?

Theo Walcott (£7.2m)

Everton's next six fixtures: ars/CRY/wat/bur/BHA/stk

It's now two goals and an assist in his first two league games as an Everton player for Theo Walcott and he is looking like a very exciting prospect for the next few weeks.

We always figured he would do well there given his historic FPL pedigree and the impressive underlying stats of his Europa League involvement for Arsenal earlier this season.

And I think his strong start will continue away at his former side in GW26. Against Leicester, Walcott had five shots on goal, four of which were on target and he really benefited from playing on the same flank as Seamus Coleman.

Having such an important player return to the Everton side at right-back allowed Walcott to make some more central runs and get involved in the penalty box.

Theo Walcott has three goal involvements in his first two Everton games

Over the last six weeks, Arsenal have allowed an average of 13.83 shots - only seven times have allowed more - which is level with Newcastle United.

And in that time frame only Huddersfield Town have conceded more goals.

Walcott's form, Arsenal's defensive problems and the #Narrative look set to gift him some FPL returns in GW26.

With Crystal Palace (H), Watford (A), Burnley (A), Brighton (H) and Stoke (A) coming up after that, Everton have some nice fixtures which could make the England international a long-term asset for you.

David de Gea (£5.9m)

Manchester United's next six fixtures: HUD/new/CHE/cry/LIV/whu

Manchester United look set to clinch the most easily predictable clean sheet of the season so far when out-of-form Huddersfield come to Old Trafford.

The Terriers have scored just twice in their last six matches and only Brighton and West Brom have found the net fewer times on their travels this season.

By contrast, United have the best defensive home record in the whole league having been breached just five times, four of those coming in just two games.

Owning a United defender this week could make all the difference

They've racked up 14 clean sheets in 2017/18 and will almost certainly increase that to 15 in GW26.

If you don't have defensive cover for the Red Devils this week, either in the form of DDG, Jones or Valencia, you might find yourself playing catch-up on your rivals.

With favourable fixtures coming up, Chelsea and Liverpool aside, you'll get a few weeks out of them too.

Jamie Vardy (£8.6m)

Leicester City's next six fixtures: SWA/mci/STK/BOU/wba/ARS

Jamie Vardy is still somewhat under the FPL radar despite bagging four goals in his last seven games and having a nice run of fixtures to look forward to.

Leicester have some really nice home games between now and the end of the season and to best set yourself up for the run-in, Vardy has to be the way to capitalise on it.

Riyad Mahrez is obviously a no-fly zone at the moment with his transfer saga still causing problems even after the window has closed - he's missed training for the last four days in a row now.

Vardy could be the Leicester player to own with Mahrez out-of-sorts

Vardy still scored in Mahrez's absence against Everton on Tuesday night and well Swansea have improved of late, there's no reason why he can't bag again in GW26.

GW27 and GW32 look tricky for Leicester with a trip to Manchester City and the visit of Arsenal but aside from those his fixtures are ordinary and he's in good form.

Owned by just 17% still, he could be a nice differential for you between now and the end of the campaign.

How Hand Tools Made Me a Better Power-tool Woodworker

This weekend I built a contemporary lamp for the August 2011 issue of the magazine that was all-electrons, all the time.

It has been a while since I have worked this way – usually my mode is to use machines for the heavy lifting and hand tools for the details. And I was surprised by how I approached the power tools differently after a long walk on the so-called “dark side” (meaning no electricity).

1. Don’t Jig It. Do It.
For this lamp I had to make several small discs of plywood of different diameters. My first inclination was to build a circle-cutting jig that I could use on the band saw and the disc sander.

But after laying out the circles, I decided to try making a couple just freehand. I cut them right against the line on the band saw – no jig – then cleaned off the sawblade marks on the disc sander. Again, no jig.

If they aren’t perfectly circular, I sure as heck can’t tell.

2. Geometry is Your Friend.
For the base of the lamp, I had to array three holes around a circular surface angled at 22.5°. Instead of using arithmetic (or SketchUp) to pinpoint my holes, I merely struck an equilateral triangle on the face of the disc and erected perpendiculars off each vertex on the 22.5° edge. Then I used dividers to find the midpoint. No numbers.

Best of all, it was almost impossible to make an error in locating the holes this way.

3. Routers Love Traditional Workholding.
There was a lot of pattern routing and routing of tiny parts for this lamp. My wagon vise and an improvised planing board secured in my wagon vise made short work of things. No router mats.

In the end, my hand-tool approaches made the power-tool operations even faster and easier for me. And I wasn’t having to rely on trial-and-error to set up jigs, which is a task I dislike.

Don’t get me wrong: I’m not about to take the fence off my table saw. And I’m not trading in my smoothing plane for a random-orbit sander. But it is nice that my traditional skills are helping my modern ones.

    Amen to that brother. I have long ago figured out that in order to move forward in wood working, some times you have to move backwards (in time). Hand tools allow you to do more woodWORKING, rather than setting up a jig for an hour to do two minutes of actual woodwork.

  2. BLZeebub

    Yours is exactly the notion I peruse. If I can do it by hand within a given time frame then there I go. I only make a jig if: 1) if there are safety concerns, 2) if there are going to be multiples, 3) if I really need to “machine” the part exactimundo to save time. Otherwise, I’d rather do it by hand while “Kind of Blue” wafts through the rafters of my shop.

    As always,

Design Sketchbook: Dining Rooms

Create practical dining space near the kitchen.

By Larry Garnett, FAIBD | June 30, 2004

For the "move-down" buyer in a TND project, a study is often considered more desirable than a formal dining room.
Plan LWG-1430 offers one large dining area with a view to the courtyard and a wall for a hutch or china cabinet.
Rather than designing a home with two inefficient dining areas and a small kitchen (above), Plan LWG-2035 offers the same square footage with a spacious kitchen and a single dining room large enough for family meals and elegant entertaining (below). Notice also that the traffic from the rear entry and master bedroom passes between the kitchen and dining area instead of directly through either room.

First of all, a disclaimer: I don't consider formal dining rooms practical. Having admitted my bias, it seems as though I'm not entirely alone. In working with clients in recent years, more and more homeowners are deciding to forgo the expense of building square footage that they use only a few times each year.

Furthermore, even on those rare occasions when the room is used, there never seems to be enough space to accommodate the entire dinner party. Recall the Thanksgiving gatherings when the children ate at a card table in the foyer while the adults squeezed into the undersized formal dining room.

The average formal dining room consumes about 175 square feet of living space. That's valuable area that could be added to the family room or bedrooms - it's even enough area for an additional bedroom. Or, depending on the actual cost per square foot, approximately $15,000 to $20,000 could be saved by doing away with this seldom-used area.

While escalating construction costs certainly offer an incentive to eliminate the area required for a formal dining room, many clients simply prefer a more casual and functional kitchen and dining arrangement. A centrally located family dining area, open to both the kitchen and family room, will likely be used more on a day-to-day basis than an enclosed formal room separate from all the activity.

Although this open concept appeals to many, there needs to be some form of definition for each area. An island counter in the kitchen designates the boundary between kitchen and dining while also offering additional seating. Varying ceiling heights from one area to the other also works. For example, a lower ceiling in the kitchen creates a sense of definition for the cooking center. Changes in floor covering can also be utilized, although this may actually make both areas seem much smaller.

The creation of a single dining area involves more than just enlarging the traditional breakfast room. Use special lighting to transform the space into a more formal setting for special dining occasions. Although many homeowners will give up their formal dining table, they draw the line when asked to scrap grandma's hutch or china cabinet. A desig-nated wall with enough space for such furniture often becomes a critical feature.

How large should this family dining area be? Obviously, that varies with the overall size and design of the home. Ideally, the area should afford enough flexibility to add table extensions and expand toward the family room. Even if everyone cannot be seated at the table, an adjacent kitchen snack bar can provide additional seating within the same area. At least everyone feels as though they are part of the dinner party.

Even in larger homes where square footage may not necessarily be critical, many homeowners find that one dining area suits their needs. Notice the large island in Plan LWG-3370-CP designates the kitchen boundary while also offering extra seating and work space. Half walls with columns separate the dining area from the family room and the door to the rear porch.

If situated properly, the dining area actually functions as a multi-purpose space, ideal for working on large projects or hobbies. The additional seating can easily expand toward the family room for conversation or television viewing.

Will we see the formal dining room virtually disappear from new homes just as the formal living room has? Not likely. There always will be homeowners who place great emphasis on creating very formal areas for dining. Particularly in the higher-end custom market, where additional square footage ceases to be an issue, the formal dining room offers an opportunity to create an elaborately finished room, complete with multiple layers of crown molding, ornate ceiling detail and magnificent chandeliers. Typically, those clients who are attracted to impressive foyers will still insist on formal dining rooms. And, there always will be the client who simply cannot part with the formal dining furniture for sentimental reasons.

Such diversity challenges both builder and designer to create new concepts and designs, while still anticipating what the local markets require. Homeowners become nervous when told that they must consider the resell implications of building a home that deviates from the typical floor plan. However, there certainly appears to be a large and expanding group of homeowners who no longer consider the formal dining room necessary. Even if you're like me and have a strong personal preference, your client should still be offered a variety of options and information that will allow them to make the decisions that best address their lifestyle.

Borderline Personality Disorder Signs, Symptoms and Treatment

Posted on November 18th, 2015
Posted in Mental Health

People with borderline personality disorder (BPD) seem to be forever pulling the petals from a daisy. Their black-and-white thinking can take them from “he loves me” to “he loves me not” almost as quickly as the adolescent girl, sitting forlorn in a field of flowers, can pluck the blossom clean. But this is no game for BPD sufferers. Their feelings run deep and are so painful, so frightening, that about 10% of BPD patients commit suicide.

BPD is a mental illness that affects about 14 million Americans, or 5.9% of the adult population. People with BPD have a hard time figuring out who they are, often changing their habits and values to mimic whomever they’re with. Of all the personality disorders, BPD is the most common, most perplexing, and often has the most severe impact due to its tendency toward suicide. And despite its prevalence, BPD is difficult to diagnose and difficult to treat because its symptoms often overlap with other disorders such as depression, bipolar disorder, anxiety disorders, substance abuse and eating disorders (particularly bulimia).

The name “borderline personality disorder” fails to capture the essence of this serious mental illness, says National Institute of Mental Health Director Thomas Insel. The term “borderline personality” was first proposed by Adolph Stern in 1938 to describe a group of patients who “fit frankly neither into the psychotic nor into the psycho-neurotic group.” Stern introduced the term borderline to describe what he observed because it “bordered” on other conditions.

If you or someone you love is “borderline,” you know that something is dreadfully wrong with your behavior or that of a loved one but often do not know what to do about it. One moment the borderline person thinks someone is wonderful, the most amazing person they’ve ever known, and the next believes that same person is an evil, horrible human being.  Even a minor disagreement or perceived slight can precipitate the shift from love to hate. There is no middle ground in the minds of those with borderline personality disorder, which can make living with them emotionally exhausting.

People with BPD also tend to be extremely sensitive. Psychologist Marsha Linehan, best known for developing dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) to treat borderline patients, and who herself suffers from borderline personality disorder, told Time magazine, “Borderline individuals are the psychological equivalent of third-degree-burn patients. They simply have, so to speak, no emotional skin.”

Brain Differences in Borderline Personality Disorder

Now, new research suggests an explanation for the relationship difficulties experienced by people with BPD.

To assess the link between brain activity and empathy among people with borderline personality disorder, Brian Haas, PhD, and Joshua Miller, PhD, of the University of Georgia, asked study participants to take part in an empathetic-processing task in which they matched the emotion of faces to a situation’s context while a functional MRI measured their brain activity.

“Our results showed that people with BPD traits had reduced activity in brain regions that support empathy,” Haas said. “This reduced activation may suggest that people with more BPD traits have a more difficult time understanding and/or predicting how others feel, at least compared to individuals with fewer BPD traits.”

Haas said he hopes the study, published in the journal Personality Disorder: Theory, Research and Treatment, will spark new inquiries to assure people with BPD that there is a biological reason for what happens to them.

Interestingly, other studies have found that people with BPD have increased activity in another part of the brain, the amygdala, which plays a key role in processing negative emotion and producing aggressive behavior.

What Causes BPD?

Linehan and others theorize that an “invalidating environment” — that in which children are taught to keep their thoughts and feelings to themselves and any emotion that is displayed is disregarded or trivialized — along with an innate tendency to react more intensely to lower levels of stress, are the key underpinnings of BPD. An invalidating environment causes children to distrust their emotions, which leads to mimicking behavior in adulthood. (Because of their distorted sense of self, BPD sufferers often take on the characteristics of another person with the goal of being liked and accepted.) Borderline personality disorder also occurs much more often in people who suffered trauma in childhood, particularly sexual abuse and incest.

Signs and Symptoms of Borderline Personality Disorder

Borderline personality disorder is ultimately characterized by the emotional turbulence it causes. Suicide threats and attempts and self-harming acts, such as cutting and burning, are all common in people with BPD. According to the National Alliance on Mental Illness, signs and symptoms include:

  • Frantic efforts to avoid being abandoned by friends and family.
  • Unstable personal relationships that alternate between idealization — “I’m so in love!” — and devaluation — “I hate her.” This is also sometimes known as “splitting.”
  • Distorted and unstable self-image, which affects moods, values, opinions, goals and relationships.
  • Impulsive behaviors that can have dangerous outcomes, such as excessive spending, unsafe sex, substance abuse or reckless driving.
  • Suicidal and self-harming behavior.
  • Periods of intense depressed mood, irritability or anxiety lasting a few hours to a few days.
  • Chronic feelings of boredom or emptiness.
  • Inappropriate, intense or uncontrollable anger — often followed by shame and guilt.
  • Dissociative feelings — disconnecting from your thoughts or sense of identity, or “out of body” type of feelings — and stress-related paranoid thoughts. Severe cases of stress can also lead to brief psychotic episodes.

Treatment for BPD

If you recognize any of these symptoms in yourself or a family member, it may be time to seek help. Borderline personality disorder is eminently treatable. In fact, BPD is termed the “good prognosis diagnosis” and that’s because people get better.

“People with this disorder have a remission within a couple of years [of treatment] and when that happens, it’s sustained,” said Dr. John Gunderson, MD, of Harvard University in “Back From the Edge,” a documentary on BPD. “Relapses are not common.”

In addition, when BPD is successfully treated, the other disorders often get better, too.

The Importance of Finding the Right Therapist

A qualified therapist will be familiar with BPD therapies such as dialectical behavior therapy, which focuses on helping individuals with BPD learn coping skills, manage their emotions and interact more successfully in their relationships, and schema-focused therapy, which helps people change self-defeating life patterns — or schemas — using cognitive, behavioral and emotion-focused techniques. The process of “limited re-parenting” is at the core of treatment in schema therapy and calls for the therapist to provide, within reason, what patients needed but did not receive from their parents in childhood. Some people with BPD take medication, particularly if they suffer from co-occurring disorders such as depression or anxiety — but it is not a cure for BPD.

“It’s very important for patients and families to find clinicians who are knowledgeable about this, have experience with it and want to treat them,” Dr. Gunderson said. “To seek treatment from people who don’t have those qualifications is likely to make the patient worse.”

Review: Davidson Institute for Talent Development - January 1, 2006
The scope is ambitious yet at no point does the text lose site of the theoretical cohesion or practical applicability that characterize genuinely inspired interpretations of research. Regardless of whether or not a reader shares all of the views presented by these authors, he or she will undoubtedly come away from this book feeling considerably more informed about the central issues of gifted secondary education and more capable of serving the needs of gifted adolescents.

The Story of Our 2017 Spelling Bee Champion

We are proud of spelling bee champion (currently in second grade), here is his story told by his father:

You probably noticed as we did that Lucas was the only kid at the district spelling bee that looked to be having any fun up there. Part of that is his personality, but I believe it also came as a result of the teachers he has had so far. We are very grateful.

In Kindergarten, Ms. Samo (she will always be Ms. Samo to us) introduced Lucas to the spelling bee. That was the day he told me that he wanted to try it. She was also our first experience with a teacher at Quest. Don't ever let her get away!

Then in 1st grade Lucas made it through the lower school bee to participate in the all school bee. Mrs. Skwirut went out of her way to make sure he'd be comfortable. She made time to take the class to the gym so Lucas could practice from the stage.

This year Ms. Cohn has been using spelling bee words for his regular spelling tests. That helped us get through all 1100 words for the district bee in just a few weeks. We had just gotten through them all the night before the bee! Plus she and the Bears have been supportive in every possible way.

I believe all the presentations Lucas has done at school helped him get comfortable up there too. I will always remember the end of year presentation last year where all the first graders put on a newscast to present the information. It was really something to see.

I am sure we will do this again, but nothing may top the experience we have had this year. We plan to go to the regional bee next week to see what to expect at that level.

It is too often assumed that gifted children will thrive in school with little attention simply because they have high intellectual ability. An intellectually advanced child, however, needs an appropriate educational program just as much as any other child; a child can only thrive when teachers understand the child's needs and when the curriculum, content and pace of instruction are suited to the child's ability.

At Quest, your child can discover the excitement of learning surrounded by motivated peers who love learning. For over 20 years, Quest has been meeting the social, emotional, and academic needs of gifted children. Our specially designed curriculum, combined with an outstanding faculty, provides bright young people with a truly unique learning environment.

We have created an environment where students are encouraged to dream and use their imaginations; where understanding teachers, who love working with gifted children, nurture and highlight students' interests, strengths, and abilities; where students feel comfortable surrounded by bright, enthusiastic peers.

Gifted children need instruction that is appropriately paced and material that is appropriately complex. Quest teachers are skilled in curriculum differentiation and frequently assess children to determine what they know already so that they are not forced to sit through material they have mastered and so that work is set at a sufficiently difficult level.

Quest's program varies with the differing needs and abilities of each age group. Quest provides preschoolers with a developmentally appropriate climate that focuses on exploration, discovery, and social interaction. This early childhood experience sets the stage for the introduction of academic studies and homework in the Lower School. Daily homework in the Middle School promotes self-discipline and perseverance while allowing wider coverage of complex topics and practice of sophisticated skills.Quest's program responds to the individual at all levels; yet, as the students mature, they are gradually expected to go beyond their own interests in order to master those skills and bodies of knowledge widely recognized as a foundation for further studies in the liberal arts.

10° bathtub

10° acrylic asymmetric bathtub

With a new point of view. The designer Kryštof Nosál took a classic rectangular bathtub and turned it into the space by 10°. The bathtub thus evokes an accommodating feel and acquires a completely new practical benefit with its untypical arrangement. This slight turn creates a storage area on the bathtub, which can also be used as a seat. It is part of the 10° concept, which has won many awards. The 10° bathtub falls into a concept of products for the whole bathroom. All of the 10° products follow the principle of simple slight turn, which renders them a new aesthetic as well as practical value. An asymmetric bathtub for all who enjoy classic bathtubs, but appreciate an added value.

Bathing and showering in one

If you lack the space for both a shower enclosure and a bathtub in your bathroom, choose an asymmetric bathtub. You will obtain a large bathing area compared to the area a bathtub would occupy.

What is an asymmetric bathtub?
Asymmetric bathtubs are designed to be placed in a corner but do not have the same length and width as a corner bathtub; as such, they are something between a corner and rectangular bathtub. The dimensions of asymmetric bathtubs start at 75 cm in width and 140 cm in length and are therefore suitable for small and medium-sized bathrooms. On the other hand, the LoveStory II bathtub with dimensions of 196 x 139 cm will be appreciated by taller individuals and customers with larger bathrooms.

Asymmetric bathtubs

Surprisingly spacious

In the bathtub itself you are actually lying at an angle, so you can utilise a greater length than the actual length of the bathtub along the wall, giving you greater comfort.

Asymmetric bathtubs

A variety of shapes

Asymmetric bathtubs come in a wide variety of shapes, from the well-known to the hot new design from Czech designer Kryštof Nosál, who rotated a traditional bathtub by a mere 10° to create an asymmetric bathtub with all of its advantages.

Asymmetric bathtubs

The name and proper shape of asymmetric bathtubs started with RAVAK. RAVAK asymmetric bathtubs are practically designed for bathing and showering to meet the actual needs of customers.

Technical details

  • Dimensions: 160 x 95, 170 x 100 cm
  • Material: Cast acrylic
  • Reinforcement: LA – fibreglass
  • Capacity: 180, 205 litres
  • Design: Left-handed and right-handed (L/R)
  • Bathtub screen: 10CVS2
  • Hydromassage system: No
  • H2O Color chromotherapy: Optional
  • Accessories: Front panel, bathtub drainage set

The bathtub can be supplemented by a 10CVSV bathtub screen. We recommend adding a front panel and a bathtub drainage set. The bathtub is reinforced by fibreglass (LA). The bathtub is part of a sophisticated concept for the whole bathroom, which incorporates two types of washbasins, taps and bathroom furniture. The bathroom concept has won prestigious awards in several design competitions: Red Dot Design 2015, Edida 2015 and TOP Design.

Crossing the divide

Photo by Tatiana Andreeva

Photo by Tatiana Andreeva

With an increase in foreign tourists who dream of seeing the “real” Russia beyond Moscow and St. Petersburg, many provincial Russian towns are actively vying for the title of Russia's “third city.” One of these is Yekaterinburg, the administrative center of the Sverdlovsk Region and a metropolitan center with more than 1.3 million people.

Founded in 1723 and named for Yekaterina, the wife of Peter the Great, the city grew up around the metalworking industry. During the Soviet era, the city became a large industrial center with gigantic factories, scientific institutes and modern universities, but because of the concentration of military facilities, the city was closed to foreigners. Today the city is not only an industrial powerhouse, but a trade and cultural center with a diverse population.

What to See

Yekaterinburg is the dividing line between two continents and two periods of history. The Ural Mountains, which run through the region, mark the border between Europe and Asia. The environs of Yekaterinburg are full of obelisks and other commemorative signs indicating the precise location of the divide. Throughout the region, visitors can take pictures with one foot in Europe and the other in Asia.

Yekaterinburg was also the final home of Russia’s last tsar. Nicholas II, his wife Alexandra and their five children lived in the city for 78 days before being killed by the Bolsheviks on July 18, 1918. Their deaths marked the end of Imperial Russia and the beginning of the Soviet Union. Today, the Church of All Saints stands on the site of the house where they were killed. Construction on this contemporary building began in 2000, the same year the Russian Orthodox Church canonized the Romanovs. This action generated fresh interest in the royal family, and now every July Yekaterinburg hosts “Tsarist Days,” a festival of Russian culture that attracts pilgrims from all over the country and representatives of the tsar’s family.

Despite the city’s Soviet-era notoriety, monuments of that time have not disappeared from contemporary Yekaterinburg. In the 1930s, Sverdlovsk was one of the Soviet Union’s laboratories of experimental construction and the city boasts a number of buildings in constructivist style. Uralmash, the manufacturer of industrial equipment, built the first of the city’s Soviet-era districts, which features a host of architecturally interesting public buildings.

There is also at least one interesting site from the post-Soviet era – the cemetery on Shirokaya Rechka, also known as “the Mafia Cemetery.” One of the city’s oldest cemeteries, it features the massive tombstones of mafiosi killed during the turbulent 1990s – outsize symbols of the brief but wild post-perestroika era.

But Yekaterinburg is not a place where time stands still. The city today is known for its culture, including an orchestra that plays in one of the best philharmonic halls in Russia. Every December, the city hosts Kinoproba, Russia’s largest documentary film festival. Additionally, the city boasts a world-class theater of opera and ballet. This theater raised a whole generation of celebrated singers, including the world-famous performers Ivan Kozlovsky, Sergei Lemeshev, Irina Arkhipova and Boris Shtokolov. The ballet repertoire includes more than 40 productions.

Sculpture decorates the city’s streets. On Vainer Street, in the heart of the city, you will find several sculptural compositions: The inventor of the bicycle, the Urals master Artamonov together with his invention; a driver at the wheel of a vintage automobile; a pair of lovers; and a street trader. And next to the Belinsky Library you’ll see a statue of… the invisible man. Meanwhile, on the embankment, between Malyshev and Kuibyshev streets, there is a sculpture of a computer keyboard. And not long ago the Beatles fans of Yekaterinburg paid out of their own pockets to erect a sculpture of the Fab Four.

Although Yekaterinburg was closed to foreigners during the Soviet era, today it is the home of international students, expatriate engineers, hoteliers and chefs as well as diplomats working at the city’s many consulates. A resource for these expats and Yekaterinburg’s growing number of foreign tourists is, a Web site edited by Mikhail Ponomarenko.

“We put information about our native city – history, useful information about city sights, transport, hotels, tips for travelers. in short – everything a foreigner is need to know to survive in Yekaterinburg,” said Ponomarenko. “The main aim of the web-page is to help English-speaking people to come and stay in Yekaterinburg and – of course – use the webpage as an information source for fresh news, culture events and useful information.”

Getting There

There are regular flights to Yekaterinburg’s Koltsovo International Airport from most major international cities, including Frankfurt, Munich, Dusseldorf, Prague, Vienna, Dubai, Istanbul and Beijing. Daily flights are also available from each of Moscow’s three airports. A commuter train connects the airport to the city railway station. Two minibuses (№ 26 or № 39) also take passengers into the city.

Yekaterinburg is also a major stop on the Trans-Siberian Railway and there are daily trains from Moscow and other major Russian cities.

Where to Stay

Yekaterinburg has a number of hotels in various categories, from two to five stars. Other options are camping sites and youth hostels. It is also possible to rent an apartment for a short-term stay. The average cost of a single room in a three-star hotel is between 3,000 and 4,000 rubles.

How to cook the perfect wild rice by Real Food Girl Unmodified

How to cook the perfect wild rice by Real Food Girl Unmodified
I’m from Minnesota. It’s the land of Wild Rice. Did you know that
Wild Rice is actually an aquatic grass seed, not a rice grain?  ‘Tis true my Food Hippies.  It’s a coarse annual grass called “zizania aquatica”. Despite its name, the plant isn’t even related to rice.

For me, Wild Rice was an acquired taste.  I’m not sure if I just had dishes from people who didn’t cook it long enough, or if I just didn’t have the palate for it. Whatever the reason, I shied away from it.

Fast forward to a few years ago when I was working in a restaurant and developing a soup recipe with one of the chefs.  He wanted a chicken wild rice soup recipe on the menu.  When I heard those words, I cringed! He asked me what my problem was, I told him “Nothing”- like a good little padawan learner, and off we went to create a splendid soup with wild rice.  I’ve liked it ever since. 🙂

How to cook the perfect wild rice by Real Food Girl Unmodified

Traditional Wild Rice:

Doesn’t contain any chemicals, it is Native Hand harvested, parched within 36 hours of harvest, and believe it or not, the cooking time is around 30 to 35 minutes. It is nutritionally superior to commercial Wild Rice.  The rice is hand parched over an open flame.  Parching destroys the rice germ, which prevents the seed from sprouting, allowing the rice to be stored for long periods. Parching also hardens the kernel and loosens the hull (to be broken off and discarded in the hulling part of the process).

Traditional Wild Rice is high in fiber, niacin, thiamine, folate, magnesium, phosphorus, manganese, zinc, Vitamin B6, riboflavin and is comprised of more protein than wheat. It is naturally gluten-free, contains only 65 calories per 125 gram serving and is free of additives.  I’m always amazed when something so tiny has an abundance of much needed minerals and vitamins, and packs such a nutritional punch!

How to cook the perfect wild rice by Real Food Girl Unmodified

Commercial Wild Rice:

Uses pesticides and fertilizers, it’s harvested with machines, they parch it over a week after it has been harvested and it takes an hour or longer to cook. It’s also Genetically Modified.  Nice.  Most commercial rice processors parch rice in big tumblers heated by gas or LPG (Liquified Petroleum Gas).

Manitoba Canada and Minnesota are two places that still harvest Traditional Wild Rice. Small parts of Asia, and around the San Marcos River near San Antonio Texas each have their own varieties of Wild Rice.  The majority of commercial Wild Rice comes from California.  They have happy cows there, but not happy rice. BOO to GMO Wild Rice.

How to cook the perfect wild rice by Real Food Girl Unmodified

Most people cook rice in plain water.  Which is totally fine as long as it is well-seasoned.  I’ve found however, that most home cooks are afraid of salt and almost never use enough and food ends up tasting bland and flavorless.  Salt doesn’t make food salty.  If seasoned properly, it makes food taste more like what it is. Example- it makes rice taste rice-ier, and potatoes taste potato-y-er.  In order to ensure that rice has even a little more flavor, I help it along by cooking it in stock.

For this recipe I cooked it in homemade beef stock because I was going to be using it in a skillet casserole that contained ground beef and I wanted to amp up the beef flavor.  In fact, that skillet casserole is going to be Wednesday’s Blog Post, so keep your eyes open for it.  It’s technically a 30-Minute Monday dish, but you have to have the wild rice made ahead of time, or you can’t get the meal completed within the 30-minute time frame.

I wasn’t able to find Traditional Wild rice down here in SC, so I’ll be writing home asking my Mother to ship some to me.  Yeah, I suppose I could prolly just find it on Amazon and spare her the headache of putting together yet another package to send down to me.  You’re welcome, Mom. 😉  Alright, as I was saying, I wasn’t able to find Traditional Wild Rice, so the cooking time for this rice was closer to 45-50 minutes.  Just a heads up.

How to cook the perfect wild rice by Real Food Girl Unmodified

Follow my recipe, find Traditional Rice (like THIS one) and you’ll fall in love with Wild Rice if you haven’t already.  Remember, this rice will be used in Wednesdays recipe, so make sure you save it.  It will keep nicely in the fridge. Simply store it in an airtight container until ready to use.

  1. 1 cup wild rice- rinsed well
  2. 4 cups of beef or chicken stock (homemade is best, organic is next best)
  3. 1/2 tsp. sea salt
  4. 1 small bay leaf (optional)
  1. Place Wild Rice in a mesh strainer. Thoroughly rinse in cold water for 60 seconds, mixing rice with fingers to ensure each grain gets rinsed.
  2. Combine the Wild Rice with 4 cups of beef or chicken stock, salt and bay leaf in a medium-large saucepan with a tight fitting lid.
  3. Over medium-high heat, bring to a boil. Give the rice a good stir, reduce the heat to low, cover and simmer for 30-50 minutes.
  4. Wild rice bursts open when it’s cooked, so you can tell at a glance when it’s done. Taste a few morsels and keep cooking a few minutes longer if it’s not tender enough for your taste. Drain excess liquid if applicable, fluff with a fork and serve.
  5. Yields 3-4 cups.
  1. Wild rice is best cooked with a ratio of 1 cup rice to 3 cups liquid, but I find that oftentimes, I need a little more liquid. I also like to use it as a "rice stock" to help flavor dishes, so I don't mind having a little liquid left over. I'd rather start with a little more and have some left over to drain, than end up having to add liquid mid-cooking.

  1. Hi.
    I’m totally frustrated w/myself for not reading this “perfect wild rice recipe”
    b4 assuming your casserole recipe must have included a pre-cooked version of wild rice.
    I probably don’t need to ask but … will I ruin this hot dish by using (brand name Canoe)
    Cooked Wild Rice

  2. Thank you for all of this amazing information in cooking wild rice. I’m also from and Minnesota and loving using this local ingredient and always wondered what the best method was, baking, boiling or rice cooker. I have a high end rice cooker but have never used it for wild rice and I was wondering if I did should I use the white rice or brown rice setting. Or do you think I should just stick to the stovetop? Thank you for the great blog!

  3. Finally – tasty and healthy! My daughter went back for seconds. My husband thought it was ‘from a box’ because it was flavorful unlike my past attempts. This will be my go to wild rice recipe.

  4. Thank you for the simplicity of this wild rice recipie….my first time buying because of the nutritional value and the delicious experience I had with Cornish hen, i wanted to try cooking it on my own…I appreciate you’re sharing..God bless

          1. Than you Kristine! I could never understand how the boxes of mixed white rice and wild rice could turn out. Obviously they’ve done some precooking in the wild rice. I have some beautiful looking wild rice that is in the chicken soup pot now. And your instructions explain why that quick pot of soup is taking so long. 🙂

What are the signs of a nervous breakdown?

According to the Mayo Clinic and Women's Health Magazine, signs of a nervous breakdown may differ depending on the person, but they generally include a number of unusual or dysfunctional behaviors including anxiety, short-tempered behavior, lowered sex drive, difficulty focusing, and missing work and appointments for more than several days.

What are the signs of a nervous breakdown?
Credit: Jamie Grill Getty Images

Full Answer

The Mayo Clinic notes that "nervous breakdown" is not a medical term, but it does point to a problem that needs attention. In many cases, the problem may be related to mental health, such as anxiety or depression. A person who is about to have a nervous breakdown is no longer functioning as usual.

As for anxiety, Women's Health Magazine explains that the anxiety does not seem to come from a specific place. Rather, it takes the form of a sense of foreboding. It can happen even if many things in a person's life, such as jobs and relationships, are going well. Stressors may have been deeply buried, and they need to be addressed to avert a nervous breakdown. People who think they may be experiencing a nervous breakdown should talk to their primary care doctors, according to the Mayo Clinic.

What is the best time of year to trim trees and shrubs?

Quick Answer

The best time to prune most trees and shrubs is in the late winter or early spring. Flowering shrubs should be pruned in late spring, after the plant is finished blooming.

Continue Reading
Related Videos

Full Answer

Most trees and shrubs are best pruned just before they begin growing again. When a tree is dormant, it is easier see which branches need to be cut. Pruning flowering shrubs too early in the season prevents the development of flower buds, and the shrub may not bloom. Trim pines in mid-June, when the candles grow long, and trim spruce trees in the beginning of July. Dead, diseased or broken branches can be trimmed at any time of the year.

Speed Buggy Lunchbox

Speed Buggy vs. The Bionic Woman Lunchbox

It’s Friday, the last day of my Lunchbox vs. Lunchbox series. Throughout the week I’ve put lunchboxes up against one another and let you all vote for the winners. I have to admit, today’s showdown is an odd one. These two lunchboxes have nothing to do with one another, and I’m only pairing them up because they’re the last two I have. It is time for Speed Buggy vs. The Bionic Woman Lunchbox. First up is Speed Buggy!

Speed Buggy Lunchbox Front

Speed Buggy was a Saturday morning Hanna-Barbera cartoon that ran for two years, from 1973 to 1975. It was a lot like Speed Racer, if only Speed Racer’s car (the Mach 5) had been Scooby Doo. The voice of Speed Buggy (the actual car) was provided by Mel Blanc. It was a car that literally had a mind of its own.

Speed Buggy Lunchbox Back

Lest anyone forget who the real star of the show, there’s Speed Buggy himself, along with the name of the show: Speed Buggy. Speed Buggy also demanded his own dressing room and often refused to give autographs to waiting fans. Don’t let the smiling bumper fool you; in real life Speed Buggy was kind of a jerk.

Someone who was never a jerk was The Bionic Woman!

The Bionic Woman Lunchbox Front

I’ll be honest with you, I never watched the Bionic Woman and all I know about her I learned from this lunchbox. The Bionic Woman was (apparently) a school teacher who kept children in line by ripping phone books in half in front of the class and threatening to do the same to unruly children.

The Bionic Woman Lunchbox Back

Also, her husband one time told her to “get me a beer” one too many times so she tied him up and ran over him with her svelte red car. Oh wait, I think maybe she’s trying to stop the car in that picture, while those two guys hiding in plain sight look on. Based on the look on that guy’s face, I’d say he doesn’t really believe in the Bionic Woman’s powers, and is saying his prayers right about now. Wouldn’t the Bionic Woman do better to turn the wheel instead of trying to stop the car by placing her fancy shoes in the mud? Then again, what do I know.

It’s Friday folks, so let’s make this one count. Which lunchbox will be today’s winner? Is it the egocentric Speed Buggy, or the stereotypical female driving Bionic Woman? It’s evil vs. evil in this one people, and only you can decide who will prevail!!

    I have to go with Speed Buggy on this match-up. I do prefer the embossed boxes over any of the flat boxes but I wouldn’t be caught dead showing up at school with a Bionic Woman lunchbox. Now Six Million Dollar Man, that would have scored cool points for a boy in the lunch room!

  2. Amen, Plcary! Speed Buggy wins hands down…though if the Bionic Woman could scare her students straight, I might change my mind if I bumped into her and she started tearing up phone books or crushed my Speed Buggy lunchbox in her cybernetic death grip!

    Speed Buggy!! It says “History” on the board behind Bionic Woman – so maybe she is tearing up a history book! NOT a good teacher.

Get Yourself A Helping Hand

supportWhether you are training to lose weight, get fit or run a marathon you cannot do it alone, at times you will need to draw on friends, family and colleagues to help you out and give you a nudge in the right direction. Surrounding yourself with supportive, knowledgeable and like-minded people can give your training a massive boost so think of the people you know and who may be able to help you out.

There are 168 hours in the week and you might get to spend 1 or 2 of those with your trainer each week. Meaning you are accountable for what happens in the other 166 hours. So it is extremely helpful if you can get the people you spend the most time with (your partner, family, friends) to help you out. Let them know what you are doing and why it means so much to you and I’m sure they will be more than happy to give you the support you need.

Things like your nutrition will play a massive role in getting your body to where you want it to be. Having the people you live with or go out to dinner with on the same page as you will make it easier to prepare healthier meals or make better restaurant choices when you are eating out. Also there will be times when you will be tempted to eat foods that aren’t exactly the most appropriate choices, but having the people around you acting as a little guardian angel on your shoulder to remind you of your goals can help make sure you are making the best choices with your food, getting you to your goals faster. Training for an event or weight loss can also become time consuming be sure those around you are aware that you may need to spend 30 – 45 minutes a day training to help you lose weight or 2 – 3 hours on a long run to prepare you for that marathon, which in the short term may place some constraints on your availability but the long term benefits to your health, happiness and sense of achievement once you reach your milestone will all be worthwhile.

By talking with the people within your support network you may even find someone to train alongside you every step of the way, maybe even inspire some of your friends to embark on a fitness journey of their own. So talk to those around you, get them onside and get your fitness journey firing.

Bending 2.5" x 2.5" 3/16 thick angle iron?

  • Bending 2.5" x 2.5" 3/16 thick angle iron?

    I recently disassembled my R4511 tablesaw to move it to another house. Since I am taking it apart, I went ahead and upgraded the fence front and back rails with 3/16" thick angle irons. They are 6' long each. I reassembled the saw today with the DIY upgraded rails and noticed that the angle iron has a slight curve to it. If you look straight at the saw from the front, the curve is along the horizontal axis. I put my 8 feet level on it and measured about 1/16" drop at one end of the angle iron from the level.

    Any idea how to can correct this? I have a few ideas but none are satisfactory.

    Re: Bending 2.5" x 2.5" 3/16 thick angle iron?

    if the iron is bent before attaching then I would find a different piece of iron, that is straight, if you pulled it out of whack then I would shim or re drill the holes that are pulling it out of straight,

    to bend steel one will have to go past and re bend it the opposite way and then let it spring back, the problem is you have a 6 foot long piece and to control the bend is the problem and not make a bunch of small kinks in it,

    I would most likely consider using my truck putting the iron on the ground with block under each end of it or on the edges of the curve, and using a jack to press it down using the weight of the truck and possibly using a 2x4 or similar to spread the press zone wider if needed so,

    one of the problems is on angle iron the two legs of the angle may make it difficult to get it straight, as each leg may need to be stretched,

    the other way one may be able to do it to heat it up and then shrink it with a wet rag, but still difficult with the two legs,

    really replacement with a straight iron would be easiest,

      Thanks for the idea. I don't have a truck, but the Corolla works too. I applied pressure gingerly, straightening the angle iron over the course of a few dozen presses.

Treaty Energy Brings Madeley Well Online

Treaty Energy Corporation announced results of the first 24 hours of the 48 Hour Certification Test of the Madeley F1H well that Treaty has purchased and is putting into production.

Andrew V. Reid, Chairman of Treaty Energy Corporation, stated, "The original intent for this well was to re-complete the well by drilling a much longer lateral line into the Fredricksburg Zone that currently is drilled only to 16 ft. Treaty will eventually drill this lateral to a length of 1000 ft or possibly to a maximum of 1770 ft."

Wayne Knappick, the project manager overseeing this well, has informed Treaty that this well has an unusually high pressure for a well in this zone. The well is currently producing 147 barrels of oil and 762 MCF of natural gas per day prior to the planned extension of the lateral which is expected to greatly improve the production level of this well.

Treaty is in the process of performing a "48 Hour Certification Report" on this Madeley F1H Well.

Treaty will start selling the oil from this well today weather permitting. There are currently 5-6 loads to be picked up of Texas Sweet Crude and of course this is growing by approximately one load per day at the current production level.

Because of the high well pressure and current production rate of the well, Mr. Knappick will produce the well as is until the pressure is reduced to a level that the well can be re-entered safely and the lateral extended.

Finally, Mr. Reid stated, "I am very pleased with the well as it is which will produce approximately $11,000 per day net of royalties, or more than $4 million per year, at the current level of production."

Mr. Reid added, "Treaty feels that the original estimated levels of production after re-completion were likely underestimated by a considerable amount and will complete that portion of this project once the well can be safely re-entered. Further progress on this well and others to be reworked or newly drilled on our new leases in Shelby County Texas will be released as developments occur."

    You know, sometimes we all love the struggle of trying to fit a square into a circular hole and I feel like that's what I've been doing all these years before I had this spring puller tool. Forget using needle nose pliers for the job and cursing your face off. This inexpensive, great tool does the job quickly and efficiently so you can have more time to ride or work on other projects.

Albino Alligator

Add Kevin Spacey, Oscar winner for The Usual Suspects, to the list of adventurous actors with an urge to direct. In this vividly intense crime drama, Spacey gets his wish by staying behind the camera and packing a top cast, led by Matt Dillon, Gary Sinise and Faye Dunaway, into a New Orleans bar at 4 a.m., and setting himself the task of holding us in thrall while they act, act, act.

The script, by first-timer Christian Forte, 25, the son of '50s pop icon Fabian, doesn't help. It's awash with pretension as three armed thieves — Dillon, Sinise and William Fichtner — take hostages at Dino's Last Chance Bar (note the leaden symbolism) and discuss existential issues of survival while federal agent Joe Mantegna hovers outside. M. Emmet Walsh plays Dino, and Dunaway helps him run the bar, now occupied by a regular (John Spencer), a young pool shark (Skeet Ulrich) and a French dude (Viggo Mortensen) in a suit and saggy socks.

Old movie posters in the bar hint at gangster action, but "Alligator" delivers the Bogart of The Petrified Forest and the Cagney of The Time of Your Life — both films of verbose plays that trapped the stars in claustrophobic dives. Amazingly, Spacey creates dynamism in a stagy setting and draws astute performances, notably from Dillon, who even gets a laugh by checking the birth date on Dunaway's driver's license and cracking. "1956, my ass." Sadly, Spacey's deft directing can't offset a script that wants to be Chinatown and ends up as indigestible chop suey.

Schaumburg Bicycle Accident Attorneys

Schaumburg Bicycle Accidents
When the weather warms each year, avid bicyclists take to the roads and paths in droves throughout Schaumburg, which also attracts dense traffic to the Woodfield mall and commercial districts. Heavier traffic increases the likelihood that bicyclists will be injured in accidents involving vehicles, and it is important to take every precaution possible to ensure your safety whenever you are sharing the roads with motorists.

To learn more about your legal rights following an accident or to launch an investigation to determine whether the other party involved in your accident was at fault, you may contact the Schaumburg bicycle accident attorneys of Rosenfeld Injury Lawyers LLC.

Heavy Traffic Poses Additional Risk to Bicyclists

Schaumburg has gained renown for its commercial developments and is home to many corporate headquarters and offices belonging to giant companies. In addition, the Woodfield Mall is one of the largest malls in the country and the businesses nearby draw additional traffic.

Schaumburg is also within ten miles of one of the busiest airports in the world, so it should be no surprise that its streets are always filled with traffic. The easiest way to decrease your chances of being involved in an accident is to avoid highly trafficked roads, if possible, but you may be forced at some point to share the road with motorists.

Schaumburg requires bicyclists to obtain licenses for their bicycles (Schaumburg Ordinance 73.04) and abide by bicycle safety laws in order to reduce the chances they will be involved in accidents. Many of the laws mimic those of Illinois’s Rules of the Road, but it is important to understand bicycle specific ordinances in order to protect your rights in the event that you are involved in an accident.

  • Unless riding on a path or road established specifically for bicycles, cyclists may only ride single file and must stay as far to the right as safely possible (Ordinance 73.12).
  • You should never ride at speeds which may compromise your safety or which are in excess of local speed limits (Ordinance 73.11).
  • Safety equipment is required on all bicycles within Schaumburg’s limits. The required equipment includes a headlamp, rear light or reflector, horn or bell and working brake (Ordinance 73.13).
  • You are not allowed to ride on the sidewalk within business districts and must signal pedestrians when planning to pass them while riding in districts where you may occupy the sidewalk (Ordinance 73.17).
  • As a parent, you are responsible for making sure that your child abides by the rules of the road and local laws and may be subject to fine for non-compliance (Ordinance 73.07).

Compensation you are Entitled to When Injured in a Bike Accident in Schaumburg

Trying to understand local ordinances and state laws and how they apply to your case can be extremely confusing and frustrating, and it is important to understand that even if you share responsibility for your accident, it is still possible to recover compensation. For this reason, it is important that you have your case reviewed by one of the accredited Schaumburg bicycle accident attorneys at Rosenfeld Injury Lawyers LLC.

We employ the use of accident reconstruction specialists, doctors and medical experts and economists to determine who is really at fault for your injuries as well as the cost required to facilitate your full recovery. The injuries below are commonly the result when someone has been involved in an accident and can require expensive medical care to treat, making it that much more important to ensure that these costs are covered.

  • Puncture wounds and lacerations.
  • Fractures.
  • Traumatic brain injuries and neurological conditions.
  • Injuries to the spine.
  • Internal bleeding.

Contact us today to schedule a free consultation so that our Schaumburg bicycle accident attorneys can review your legal options with you and help you take the next step toward your recovery. We’ve helped hundreds of clients who have been injured in bicycle accidents just like yours and because we are so confident that we will be able to help you as well; if we fail to secure compensation on your behalf, our services will be free.

Client Reviews
Jonathan Rosenfeld was professionally objective, timely, and knowledgeable. Also, his advice was extremely effective regarding my case. In addition, Jonathan was understanding and patient pertaining to any of my questions or concerns. I was very happy with the end result and I highly recommend Jonathan Rosenfeld.
Extremely impressed with this law firm. They took control of a bad motorcycle crash that left my uncle seriously injured. Without any guarantee of a financial recovery, they went out and hired accident investigators and engineers to help prove how the accident happened. I am grateful that they worked on a contingency fee basis as there was no way we could have paid for these services on our own. Ethan Armstrong
This lawyer really helped me get compensation for my motorcycle accident case. I know there is no way that I could have gotten anywhere near the amount that Mr. Rosenfeld was able to get to settle my case. Thank you. Daniel Kaim
Jonathan helped my family heal and get compensation after our child was suffered a life threatening injury at daycare. He was sympathetic and in constant contact with us letting us know all he knew every step of the way. We were so blessed to find Jonathan! Giulia
Jonathan did a great job helping my family navigate through a lengthy lawsuit involving my grandmother's death in a nursing home. Through every step of the case, Jonathan kept my family informed of the progression of the case. Although our case eventually settled at a mediation, I really was impressed at how well prepared Jonathan was to take the case to trial. Lisa

The importance of enforcing restrictive covenants when employees leave to work for a competitor

Posted by , Partner

Enforcing restrictive covenants is one way for employers who wish to protect their business from unfair competition from departing employees. They are used by employers to safeguard particular confidential information (including client connection) and technologies against competitors and they are usually written into an employee’s contract of employment.

In a recent case, Capgemini India Private Ltd v Krishnan (2014 EWHC 1092 QBD), the High Court had to decide whether former employees were bound by an agreement they had entered into, following termination of their employment, which repeated restrictive covenants originally contained in their employment contracts with their previous employer.

The employees in this case were employed by two companies within the Gapgemini group. There was a restrictive covenant in their employment contracts which prevented them from dealing for six months after they left the company with any existing customers with whom they had business dealings or whose sensitive information they had access to, within the last six months of their employment.

Employers may seek to protect the use of important information during employment and after the employment ends through the use of restrictive covenants. Many employers choose to include these clauses in the contracts of employment of senior or highly skilled staff at the beginning of the employment relationship. Having such clauses set out in the employment contract at an early stage may help to deter employees from joining competitors and could warn off potential new employers.

A restrictive covenant is typically a clause in a contract which prohibits an employee from competing with his ex-employer for a certain period after the employee has left the business, or prevents the ex-employee from dealing with customers of the business by using knowledge of those customers gained during his prior employment.

Outcomes of court cases about the enforcement of restrictive covenants are notoriously unpredictable, which is why most do not even get to court.

There is a benefit in getting employees to re-affirm covenants when they leave employment, which can usually be done as part of a settlement agreement. Although it sounds like a legal technicality, requiring employees to establish why covenants should not be enforceable is, for employers, a significant improvement on the usual position, in which the company has to prove why its covenants should be enforced.

Royds’s Employment team has considerable experience in providing practical advice and commercial solutions for employers looking to protect their confidential information. For more information, please visit or contact Richard WoodmanGemma Ospedale or Caroline Doran.

New secret $69 mn Gitmo camp for ‘high-value’ detainees sought by Congress

New secret $69 mn Gitmo camp for ‘high-value’ detainees sought by Congress
US House Republicans have advanced funding for a new secret prison at Guantanamo to hold suspects of the 9/11 attacks. The project has long been called for by the US Southern Command despite a lack of support from the Obama administration.

The GOP-led House Armed Services Committee allocated $69 million for a new “high-value detainee complex” in its spending bill this week. The legislation calls for $93 million for new construction at the US military prison camps at Guantanamo, the Miami Herald reported.

The new facility to replace the clandestine Camp 7 must survive the congressional budgeting process – in this case, the National Defense Authorization Bill – as well as a White House that has blocked efforts to begin new projects at the camps holding over 150 ‘war-on-terror’ prisoners.

Camp 7, run by a secret US Army unit called Task Force Platinum, is the holding area for 15 CIA-captured prisoners, including six men on trial for the September 11, 2001 attacks in the US. This includes the supposed mastermind of those attacks, Khalid Sheik Mohammed, as well as four of his alleged accomplices and the alleged plotter of the 2000 suicide bombing of the USS Cole destroyer, Abd al Rahim al Nashiri. These detainees were sent to Camp 7 in 2006 after spending time held in secret CIA “black site” prisons around the world.

The funding passed by the committee also bars the transfer of any Guantanamo prisoner to the United States for trial or detention, long a point of contention for the presidential administrations of both Barack Obama and George W. Bush.

Rep. Mac Thornberry (R-TX), the second-ranking Republican on the committee, said the US Army had requested more funding to replace a facility from Congress a year ago.

“The one they have now is falling apart,” Thornberry said at the committee meeting where funding was approved. The military considers all aspects of Camp 7 classified, including its costs, when it was built, or by whom.

Thornberry, citing the “risk” posed to American personnel at Camp 7, read from the Army communiqué during the committee meeting:

“Existing facilities have far exceeded their service life expectancy and are deteriorating rapidly. The inefficiencies experienced in proper separation, seclusion and control of the occupants put Joint Task Force Guantanamo staff at risk ... If this project is not funded detainees will continue to be housed in facilities that will degrade to the point of risking failure to meet operational, life and health-safety standards.”

Marine Gen. John F. Kelly, commander of the US Southern Command that runs Guantanamo’s detention center, has lobbied for $49 million for a new jail, yet the US Defense Department has thus far declined to add the building project to its 2015 budget proposal. The Defense Department has said it would reinforce the older building rather than construct a new one.

Kelly has called the camp’s failing facility “increasingly unsustainable because of drainage and foundation issues.”

Navy Cmdr. John Filostrat, public affairs officer at Guantanamo, would not expand on what risks the building poses to Task Force Platinum troops.

“We don't talk about Camp 7 operations,” he told the Herald by email.

Committee Democrats argued against the funding and provision that bars prisoners from seeing detention or trial in the US.

“In this country right now we already hold literally hundreds, if not thousands, of terrorists, mass murderers, pedophiles, incredibly dangerous people,” said ranking Democrat on the committee, Rep. Adam Smith (WA), advocating for holding detainees in US prisons.
