UK paedophile-phobia continues

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/uknews/2194359/A-quarter-of-adults-to-face-%27anti-paedophile%27-tests.html

From next year the new Independent Safeguarding Authority will require any adult who come into contact with children or vulnerable adults either through their work or in voluntary groups to be vetted.

From the country where someone was beaten by a mob for being a pediatrician.

[LocalFood] Basil Leaf

Lyceum and I went to Basil Leaf for lunch today. "Asian Fusion" restaurant with Thai focus near 4th and Grant, next to Casablanca. We had the $9 buffet which was quite good. Selection was small but fresh -- they have teeny tiny serving bowls. I had fried rice, tofu curry, ginger pork, something chicken, and chicken Thai spice salad; all were quite good. The tempura was meh. Lunch and dinner entrees seem to be about the same price, and entree soups include Udon and Pho, the Vietnamese noodle soup popular in the cities. I'd happily go there again, while I'm always reluctant to go to the Siam House buffet.

I should walk around before deciding to have more servings. I can go from "not stuffed" in the chair to "omg what have I done?" a few minutes later on foot.
