Iraq Scam

A new scam gets by the spam filter…

From: Woojin Lee <Woojin.Lee.1@asu.edu>
To: <info@marine.com>
Date: Fri, 8 Oct 2010 03:23:03 -0700
Subject: response needed

I am Capt Bruce F. Nickerson with the US marine here in Iraq,I need your help in moving a huge amount of money out of Iraq,So please contact me via usmarine01477@yahoo.cn only

A few things:

  • I seriously doubt a captain in the United States Marine Corps would ever use a phrase like “with the US marine here in Iraq”
  • Why a Yahoo China email address?
  • What does Woojin Lee have to do with this?

This scam email was sent from a computer at Arizona State University and there is a Woojin Lee on the faculty of ASU. I bet Woojin Lee’s email has been hacked or someone with access to a computer at ASU put Woojin Lee’s email in the “From” field of this scam email.

JC Corcoran to be on KTRS

JC to KTRS

KTRS Vice-President and General Manager Tim Dorsey announced today that twenty-six year St. Louis radio and TV veteran JC Corcoran will take over the 10 am to 1 pm slot on The Big 550 KTRS beginning Monday, October 25th.

Corcoran has been off the air since his former employer cancelled his show nearly eleven months ago. He’d been collecting his full salary up until a few days ago when the two sides agreed to a buy-out of the remaining six months on JC’s contract.

Corcoran was characteristically upbeat about the announcement and his return to radio after the long layoff. “To quote Richard Nixon, ‘I’m tanned. I’m rested. I’m ready,'” JC said.

As of the 25th of this month the KTRS line-up will feature McGraw Milhaven-6 to 10 am, JC Corcoran-10 am to 1 pm, John Brown-1 pm to 3 pm, and Frank Opinion 3 pm to 6 pm.

Eggplant Green Curry

Always on the lookout for good curry dishes…

Eggplant Green Curry

Eggplant Green Curry

There are a lot of special ingredients in this curry. We’ve provided links to Amazon for some of the harder-to-find items, and most can be found at an Asian market if there is one near you. Also most of these ingredients can usually be found at Whole Foods.

INGREDIENTS

  • Vegetable or grapeseed oil
  • 2 Japanese eggplants, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 1 red bell pepper, seeded, sliced into sticks
  • 1 can of bamboo shoots
  • 2 1/2 tablespoons green curry paste
  • 1 can coconut milk
  • 3 kaffir lime leaves
  • 1 lemongrass stalk, cut into three pieces and bruised
  • 1 tablespoon fish sauce
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup Thai Basil or Sweet Basil leaves
  • 1-3 Thai chilies, depending on your heat preference
  • Lime for garnish (optional)

METHOD

  1. Place a tablespoon of vegetable oil in a wok or deep pan over high heat. Add eggplant and stir-fry until skin becomes lightly brown and blistered, and the eggplant insides begin to soften and get a slight sear, about 3 to 4 minutes. The eggplant will absorb the oil, if some of the eggplant pieces don’t get any add a little more oil. Remove from heat and set aside in a bowl.
  2. Place another tablespoon of vegetable oil in the wok heat over medium heat. Add the curry paste – be careful, as it will cause the oil to spit – and sauté over medium heat until fragrant, about 20 to 30 seconds. Add half of the coconut milk and mix, simmer for 2 to 3 minutes.
  3. Add the lemongrass, kaffir lime leaves, fish sauce, brown sugar, and remaining coconut milk and bring to a boil. Add the bamboo shoots, cooked eggplant, and bell pepper. Cook for 4 to 5 minutes until softened a bit. Stir in basil and chilies and remove from heat. Serve over rice with lime wedges on the side.

Serves 4.
