Fish Grilled in Fennel

Time: 1 hour 15 minutes

1 head garlic, cloves peeled

2 shallots

1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves

½ cup extra virgin olive oil

3 lemons

2 whole yellowtail snappers, red snappers or black sea bass, each about 2 ¼ pounds, cleaned

4 to 6 heads fennel, branches and fronds untrimmed (fronds will be quite long)

1 tablespoon unsalted butter

½ cup heavy cream

1 cup Parmigiano-Reggiano shavings.

1. Place garlic cloves in a small saucepan cover with water, and simmer 15 minutes until they are tender. Drain. Mash by hand or puree in small food processor. Mince 1 shallot, mix with the garlic, add half the thyme and by hand or machine, beat in tablespoons olive oil and the juice of ½ lemon to make a paste.

2. Cut 4 deep slashes in both sides of each fish. Rub the fish inside and out with some oil and juice of ½ lemon. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Fill slashes with garlic paste, and spread any remaining inside fish. Slice remaining shallot, and put slices in cavities. Slice one lemon, and put slices in cavities.

3. Cut off fennel bulbs, and remove a few frond sprigs for garnish. For each fish, place about three fennel branches, fronds attached, side by side lengthwise on work surface. Place one fish on bed of fennel, and top with about three more branches with fronds. With butcher’s cord, tie fennel around fish in 3 places. Drizzle with remaining olive oil.

4. Heat grill, preferably charcoal. Heat oven to 425 degrees. Butter a shallow 4-cup baking dish.

5. Slice off bottom half inch of fennel bulbs. Slice each bulb vertically, in ½-inch thick slices. Place in saucepan, cover with water and bring to a boil. Cook 3 minutes, drain and place in bowl of ice water. Drain and pat dry.

6. Arrange fennel slices, partly overlapping, in baking dish. Scatter with remaining thyme. Drizzle with cream, and strew with cheese.

7. Grill fish 10 – 15 minutes on each side, until tip of knife inserted in thickest part slips out easily and feels very warm when touched with your chin. While fish grills, place dish with fennel in oven, and bake about 15 minutes until browned on top.

8. To serve, snip off the strings around the fish, and remove the fennel. Remove the lemon and shallot slices from the inside fish. Fillet fish, and arrange on platter; garnish with remaining lemon, cut in wedges, and reserved fennel sprigs. Serve baked fennel alongside.

Yield: 4 servings

Dispelling the myth. The reality behind human organ trafficking. Professor Nancy Scheper-Hughes in interview with Three Monkeys Online Magazine reveals the truth behind the urban legend.

(PRWEB) November 24, 2004

Professor Nancy Scheper-Hughes, an anthropologist of international renown, first studied the phenomena of organ trafficking from the perspective of an urban myth. Her years of research however uncovered a system that is all too real.

In a rare interview with Three Monkeys Online Magazine, Professor Nancy Scheper-Hughes talks about the international system of trafficking in human organs, where people from impoverished countries sell kidneys, eyes, and any other body part that can be transplanted, to international brokers.

It’s a fascinating and disturbing story, and one in which Professor Scheper-Hughes is a renowned expert. It involves medical ethics, technology, and the law. It’s also a far from clear cut story, inolving as it does the sick, the poor, and the businessmen in between.

“People have always been selling parts of themselves, hair, and teeth, so you can question whether there’s anything new about this, but of course, now, the technology is different. It’s inside the body as well as cutting off hair” says Professor Scheper-Hughes.

“In the Philippines there are whole slums where people have specialised in selling their body parts”

Some of the examples of the system include:

1) The voyage of tendons and tissue, removed without consent from cadavers in South Africa, that end up, via South Korea, in New York, being sold for upwards of $ 2,500 apiece.

2) The case of Moldovan villagers tricked into travelling to Turkey, under the premise of obtaining work, who were subsequently under threat of violence forced to ‘donate’ kidneys

Professor Scheper-Hughes first stumbled across organ trafficking when researching her critically acclaimed academic work “Death without weeping”, published in 1992. She was a member of the Bellagio task force, reporting on organ trafficking to the International Committee of the Red Cross, and subsequently founded Organs Watch, a small non-Governmental organisation dedicated to the research and documentation of the worldwide system of organ trafficking.

Forget the urban myth, where a tourist enters a bar, talks to a pretty girl, and before he knows it he wakes up in a bath tub full of ice and minus a kidney. The reality of organ trafficking is more mundane, but no less horriffying.

Jesus Plays Poker Online?

(PRWEB) September 26, 2005

We asked the webmaster of Poker Jesus Online some questions about the new site.

Are you mocking Jesus?

Webmaster: No, not at all. We just wanted to do something humorous, similar in style to South Park. They have “Jesus and Pals,” we have our Poker Jesus.

On your website you infer that Jesus hates George W. Bush and France. Do you really believe that?

Webmaster: No, we’re just having a little fun. In fact, we really enjoy French Fries.

Your site is obviously aimed at the younger crowd. How do you feel about recent news reports stating that college students are becoming addicted to playing online poker? That they’re spending their college tuition playing poker instead of buying textbooks?

Webmaster: People can become addicted to just about anything. You don’t remove something just because a small group of people can’t control their impulses. I think that in general poker is a very positive game. Unlike the typical casino games like craps or roulette where the house always has an edge, poker is a skill game. In fact you’re not even playing against the poker room itself; you’re pitting your skills against your fellow players. If you play intelligently and take advantage of good poker resources, like the low limit poker strategy guides on our site, then you’ll never lose more money than your bankroll can handle. In fact if you really commit yourself to the study of low limit poker strategy, then financially you can come out significantly ahead in the long run. It’s all about bankroll management and self control. You don’t shut down the local ice cream shop because obese people can’t stop eating ice cream.

If anything, we want to help educate poker players so that they’ll develop the skills needed to win money playing poker online. We have an extensive section on low limit poker strategy available for this very purpose.

At the same time we want to entertain our visitors. Studying low limit poker strategy can be boring. That’s why we also have a section on how to do chip tricks as well as a poker forum where Hold’em players can chat about everything from music to the latest poker chip tricks. My vision for Poker Jesus Online is to develop the site into a community where you can not only discuss serious poker strategy, but have a wacky fun time doing it. Besides hosting poker site reviews, poker bonus codes, and all the usual stuff that everyone else has on their poker sites, Poker Jesus Online is uniquely original.

We have big plans for the site. In the upcoming weeks we plan to add Poker Jesus Online cartoons, hold unusual contests, and host poker freerolls at the best online poker sites. We’re going to roll up our sleeves and really focus on expanding the site dramatically over the next few months.

About Poker Jesus Online:

Poker Jesus Online is a Texas Hold’em strategy website specializing in low limit poker strategy, including poker bankroll management. It also contains poker site reviews, poker bonus codes, guides on how to do poker chip tricks, poker software reviews and much more.

Autosport Performance Launches Online Reservation System

Englewood, NJ (PRWEB) August 19, 2004

European auto repair specialists, Autosport Performance Inc.announced the launch of their new Online Reservation System. This system allows customers to request a reservation for a service appointment for their car online 24/7. Arthur Druce, Owner of Auto Sport Performance said, “The whole idea is customer service. We want to always be available for our customers, and now we’re expanding that to the Internet.”

The website and Online Reservation System was set up by 1GoodReason.Com, an Englewood based web design and Search Engine Marketing company. Chris Kieff, President of 1Good Reason.com said, “The Internet is no longer a gimmick, people today use the web instead of a phone book to find businesses. It’s a logical to offer your clients conveniences that the 24/7 availability of the web can allow you to do cost effectively.”

Autosport Performance specializes in European car repairs and upgrades. The company always has a cluster of Porsche’s, Mercedes, BMW’s, Audi’s and VW’s parked at its 27 W. Forest Ave., Englewood location. Mr. Druce went on to say, “Our clientele is more comfortable with technology in general, and likely to have the Internet in their homes and businesses. We’re happy that we can offer this service to both existing and new customers.” Earlier attempts at answering machines and answering services had led to frustrations for clients and the business itself. “Dropped calls, people using cordless phones where messages couldn’t be heard. It caused frustration and unhappy customers and forced us to stop accepting messages via phone after hours.” said Mr. Druce.

But that’s all a thing of the past now, says Mr. Kieff, “A client sitting at home at 10 or 11PM or even 2 or 3 AM, can visit your web site and request an oil change for next Tuesday. The next business day, they’ll receive a confirmation.” Autosport’s web site allows the visitor to choose 2 possible dates and then choose how they want to be contacted for the confirmation; email, phone or fax. It follows up with a Thank You email as well if they have entered an email address too.

Mr. Kieff has some advice for businesses considering adding this type feature to their company’s web site.


Keep it simple, don’t offer every possible option under the sun. If it’s too confusing people will be intimidated and they won’t finish the process.

Include a follow up or a “Thank You” email in the process. That message will act as a confirmation that their message was received and can also act as a reminder to them of the appointment they have just set.

People are sick of spam (unsolicited email) so you must display a privacy policy, and stick to it.

Organic- The term applied to business processes means they need time to grow. If your new grass seed isn’t growing in 3 days are you going to plow it under? It can take up to 6 months for changes to organically make connections on the Internet.

Give people time to get used to the idea. Often they could see the “new” way of contacting you but won’t try it till the second or third time. In the auto repair business that can take 6 months or more- the interval between oil changes.

Monitor the program and if it doesn’t get the response levels you had hoped for, slowly-change it.

Offer a discount for online services to give the program a head start.
