People get rewards credit cards for all kinds of different reasons:
Cash back, bonus miles, reward points…
Regardless of your reason, the vast majority of rewards cards have a one-time sign-up bonus if you spend a certain amount within a certain window of time.
People that know how to work the system can reap the benefits of these bonuses without putting themselves in financial jeopardy.
Entire schools of thought have sprung into existence on how to best utilize these bonuses; travel hacking is just an example.
By taking advantage of signup bonuses, travel hackers get free flights and a host of other rewards by using a credit card to pay for things they would have to spend money on anyway.
If you're reading this, then you're no doubt interested in Capital One's specific offerings.
We've gone through their options and compared them to give you the best one-time bonus cards, as well as the best options from Capital One's major competitors.
What are the best one-time bonuses from Capital One?
Capital One has several fantastic reward cards, and the best ones come with great sign-up bonuses.
That said, there is no one "best" overall card.
Value-wise, a single card can be determined, but it isn't the best for everyone.
We've broken down the top four cards (cash back and travel for businesses and individuals) and laid out the particulars for you.
Best One-Time Travel Bonus: Capital One Venture Card
- Intro APRN/A
- Regular APRN/A
- Annual fee$0 intro for the first year, $95 after that
- Credit levelExcellent
The Capital One Venture Card is one of the best travel rewards cards out there.
Not only is there no annual fee for the first year, but you earn double miles on every purchase.
100 miles equates to $1 in travel rewards.
The one-time bonus is 40,000 miles, or $400 in travel, if you spend $3,000 on purchases within the first three months.
While this is an impressive value, it's not the highest value bonus Capital One offers.
It is, however, the highest consumer level reward from Capital One.
Now for the less fun part of the card: the fees.
The Venture Card has an annual fee of $59 after the first year and a late payment fee of up to $35.
The cash advance fee is either $10 or 3% of each cash advance, depending on what is higher.
The minimum payment will be $25 or 1% of the outstanding balance, plus any interest and/or late payment fees.
Finally, those that want to apply for a Venture Card should have Excellent credit.
In other words, a rating of 720 or higher.
Best One-Time Cash Back Bonus: Capital One Quicksilver Rewards
- Intro APRN/A
- Regular APRN/A
- Annual feeSee Terms
- Credit levelExcellent
We've reviewed the Quicksilver before, and for good reason:
It's one of the best cash back rewards cards a person can get.
With 1.5% cash back on all purchases, with none of the hassle of activating categories and keeping up with the rotation, the Quicksilver has a lot going for it.
The one-time bonus is $100 cash back if you spend $500 within the first three months.
Yes, you read that right; you get $100 for free. $500 isn't a huge amount to spend over a three-month period, either.
For consumers, this is the best one-time cash back card you can get from Capital One.
The Quicksilver has no annual fee, and a 0% APR for the first nine months.
This makes it feasible as a balance transfer card.
The late payment fee is $35, and the minimum payment is $25 or 1% of your balance, as well as any late fees and interest payments.
The cash advance is $10 or 3% of the advance, whichever is higher.
Finally, to apply for a Quicksilver card, you should have a credit rating of Excellent or higher.
Best One-Time Travel Bonus for Business: Capital One Spark Miles for Business
- Intro APRN/A
- Regular APRN/A
- Annual fee$0 intro for the first year, $95 after that
- Credit levelAny
Capital One divides its cards between normal consumers and business cards.
While a normal person could probably apply for one of the business cards, the requirements are much higher.
The Spark Miles for Business card yields the highest value travel rewards of any Capital One card, hands down.
If you spend $4,500 within the first three months, you receive a one-time bonus of 50,000 miles.
That's equal to $500 in travel rewards.
For a business, $4,500 isn't a particularly large barrier to entry, but the average consumer isn't likely to spend that much.
Like the Venture Card, the Spark Miles for Business card yields double miles on every purchase for your business, and as an added bonus there are no blackout dates or seat restrictions, and you don't have a minimum limit on what you can redeem.
The annual fee is $0 for the first year, then $59 per year after that.
Late payment fees can reach $39.
The minimum payment is $15 or 1% of the balance plus any interest and penalty fees.
As with most of Capital One's reward cards, you will need Excellent credit before you apply for this card.
Best One-Time Cash Back Bonus for Business: Capital One Spark Cash for Business
- Intro APRN/A
- Regular APRN/A
- Annual feeSee Terms
- Credit levelAny
It's a lot like the Quicksilver, except for businesses instead of individuals.
The Spark Cash for Business card yields 2% cash back on every purchase – if you spend $21,000 for your business, that's the same as getting $5,040 cash back.
The one-time bonus is also impressive.
If you spend $4,500 on purchases within the first three months, you'll receive a $500 cash bonus.
For some people, that's enough to pay the lease on their office.
The annual fee is $0 for the first year, and then $59 per year after that.
Other fees included a late payment fee of up to $39, balance transfer rates of $10 or 1%, whichever is higher, and a minimum payment of as little as $15 plus any interest charges and late penalties.
You'll need at least an Excellent credit score to qualify for the Capital One Spark Cash for Business card.
Do one-time bonus cards differ from other types of cards?
Almost all Capital One cards include some form of a sign-up bonus, as do most rewards credit cards in general.
The bonus is a further incentive for consumers to utilize the card's services.
That said, "standard" credit cards — those without rewards — do not offer one-time bonuses.
How do Capital One's one-time bonuses compare to the competition?
Capital One has quite a few great sign-up bonuses, but they aren't alone in that.
There are several different cards that offer huge bonuses, but there are a few important things to keep in mind.
First, not all companies redeem points the same way; while Capital One might have a 100 points to $1 travel rewards ratio, other companies may differ.
Here are a few of the one-time bonuses that give Capital One a run for its money.
Chase Sapphire Preferred Card
The Chase Sapphire Preferred is one of those cards that gets touted constantly on the television; you've no doubt seen it advertised in commercials countless times.
There's good reason, too; the rewards system is impressive.
You receive double points on all travel-related expenses, as well as double points on dining worldwide.
For every other purchase, you receive one point per dollar spent.
There are no foreign transaction fees, and more than 43.3 million merchants around the world accept the Chase Sapphire Preferred.
There is also complementary travel insurance, reimbursement for delays, baggage delay insurance, liability protection, and 24/7 access to customer service specialists.
The annual fee is a bit steep — $95 per year after the first year — but in our opinion, well worth it.
As for the one-time bonus, if you spend $4,000 within the first three months of opening an account, you'll receive 50,000 bonus points.
That's the equivalent of $625 on airfare or hotels, or $500 in cash.
You can also earn another 5,000 bonus points by adding an authorized user and making a purchase within the first three months.
Not bad, huh?
The Platinum Card from American Express
The Amex Platinum is one of the most well-known cards out there, if only for the sheer amount of prestige it carries.
It's a powerful rewards card that yields tremendous results for those who qualify.
First, take a look at the benefits:
Five times the points when you book a flight directly with the airline or via American Express Travel, and five times the points when you book an eligible hotel through amextravel.com.
You also receive $15 Uber credit reach month, plus a $20 credit in December.
This can add up to $200 per year in free Uber rides.
You can also receive up to $200 in airline credits.
More benefits include a $100 fee credit if you apply for Global Entry or TSA Precheck, as well as access to more than 1,000 American Express Global Lounges across the world.
As for the one-time bonus, you'll receive 60,000 membership rewards points if you spend $5,000 in purchases within the first three months of owning the card.
The downside is that the American Express Platinum carries an annual fee of $550, and also that you must pay off your balance in full each month.
It goes without saying that only those with Excellent credit qualify.
BankAmericard Travel Rewards Credit Card
Compared to the first two heavy-weight competitors, the BankAmericard is more middle-weight.
It grants 1.5 points per dollar spent on all purchases, carries no annual or foreign transaction fees, and your points never expire.
There's an introductory APR of 0% for 12 months, which then increases to as high as 23.74% depending on your credit.
The bonus is 20,000 bonus points if you spend $1,000 within three months.
That's a much lower barrier to entry than some of the other cards, which makes the BankAmericard a good starting point for a beginner without much credit card experience.
While Capital One has quite a few enticing bonuses, so do its competitors.
Take the time to evaluate whether a Capital One card or one of its competitor's cards will be the best fit for you.
What do others have to say about the Capital One Bonus Cards?
Looking at consumer feedback is one of the best ways to get a feel for whether a card is actually worth having or whether it is too good to be true.
There's a good reason for this.
There are only certain types of people that leave reviews: the very satisfied and the very unsatisfied.
The Capital One Venture Card has a 4.6 out of 5 rating with 8,441 reviews.
For a card to carry such a high rating after almost 10,000 people have reviewed it is nearly unheard of.
The Capital One Quicksilver also has a 4.6 out of 5 rating, but only 4,768 people have reviewed it.
The Capital One Spark Miles for Business has a 4.4 out of 5 rating, but has only been reviewed by 369 people.
This is largely because the business-oriented credit cards serve a much smaller demographic than the consumer-oriented cards.
The Capital One Spark Cash for Business has the lowest rating of the four with 4.3 out of 5, with 580 reviews.
Moving Forward
If you opt for a one-time bonus card, it will be a rewards card of some type.
Keep a few things in mind:
First of all, all rewards cards require excellent credit. If your credit rating is too low, you won't qualify.
If you are looking for the Capital One card with the single best value that is most widely available to people, then you can't go wrong with the Capital One Venture.
Its rewards structure and bonus yields a huge amount of value, especially to frequent travelers.
Make sure to pay the balance off in full each month and you can avoid the potential negative effects of credit cards: i.e., interest payments and late penalties.
Utilizing these cards properly can result in free travel, cash, and much more.

Hillary Clinton did not leave a tip at the Ohio Chipotle she visited on Monday en route to Iowa.
Charles Wright, the Chipotle manager, told Bloomberg that Hillary's bill "was $20 and some change, and they paid with $21 and left."
Wright said that "we get a bunch of tips" in the tip jar but Clinton and top aide Huma Abedin, who accompanied her on the trip and paid for the lunch, did not put their change in the tip jar.
The Clinton campaign tipped off mainstream media outlets about Hillary's trip to Chipotle to make her seem like an "everyday American." Chipotle later released surveillance video of Clinton (wearing sunglasses indoors) and Abedin ordering their lunch.
As conservative talk radio host Rush Limbaugh pointed out, the "everyday Americans" who work at Chipotle get to take home a little extra money from tips left in the tip jar.
"I would like to know if she left anything in the tip jar, because that would be an indication that she understands the average, ordinary, everyman that she seeks to represent," Limbaugh said. "I mean, that's where the people that work at Chipotle, that's where they make a little extra, in the tip jar, and I haven't heard a word about whether or not she visited the tip jar, whether she put anything in it or not."
According to a Politico report, the 25-year-old Chipotle worker who "cooked the chicken that went into the burrito bowl Hillary Clinton ordered" makes "$8.20 an hour and splits rent with two roommates" while the "29-year-old general manager used to work three jobs and now is thrilled to be able to have just this one."

Nodes that is hosts and routers have link-layer addresses. Now you might find this surprising, recalling from "The Network Layer" that nodes have network-layer addresses as well. You might be thinking, why in the world do we need to have addresses at both the network and link layers? As well as describing the syntax and function of the link-layer addresses, in this section we hope to shed some light on why the two layers of addresses are useful and, in fact, essential. Well also cover the Address Resolution Protocol (ARP), which provides a mechanism to translate IP addresses to link-layer addresses.
MAC AddressesIn fact, it is not a node (that is, host or router) that has a link-layer address but instead a nodes adapter that has a link-layer address. This is shown in Figure 1. A link-layer address is variously called a LAN address, a physical address, or a MAC address. Because MAC address seems to be the most popular term, well henceforth refer to link-layer addresses as MAC address. For most LANs (including Ethernet and 802.11 wireless LANs) the MAC address is 6 bytes long, giving 248 possible MAC addresses. As shown in Figure 1, these 6-byte addresses are usually
expressed in hexadecimal notation, with each byte of the address expressed as a pair of hexadecimal numbers. Although MAC addresses were designed to be permanent, it is now possible to change an adapters MAC address via software. For the rest of this section, however, well assume that an adapters MAC address is fixed. One interesting property of MAC addresses is that no two adapters have the same address. This might seem surprising given that adapters are manufactured in many countries by many companies. How does a company manufacturing adapters in Taiwan make sure that it is using different addresses from a company manufacturing adapters in Belgium? The answer is that the IEEE manages the MAC address space. Particularly, when a company wants to manufacture adapters, it purchases a chunk of the address space consisting of 224 addresses for a nominal fee. IEEE allocates the chunk of 224 addresses by fixing the first 24 bits of a MAC address and letting the company create unique combinations of the last 24 bits for each adapter.
An adapters MAC address has a flat structure (as opposed to a hierarchical structure) and doesnt change no matter where the adapter goes. A portable computer with an Ethernet card always has the same MAC address, no matter where the computer goes. A PDA with an 802.11 interface always has the same MAC address, no matter where the PDA goes. Remember that, in contrast, IP address have a hierarchical structure (that is, a network part and a host part), and a nodes IP address needs to be changed when the host moves, i.e, changes the network to which it is attached. An adapters MAC address is similar to a persons social security number, which also has a flat addressing structure and which doesnt change no matter where the person goes. An IP address is similar to a persons postal address, which is hierarchical and which must be changed whenever a person moves. Just as a person may find it useful to have both a postal address and a social security number, it is useful for a node to have both a network-layer address and a MAC address.
As we expained at the beginning of this section, when an adapter wants to send a frame to some destination adapter, the sending adapter inserts the destination adapters MAC address into the frame and then sends the frame into the LAN. If the LAN is a broadcast LAN (such as 802.11 and many Ethernet LANs), the frame is received and processed by all other adapters on the LAN. In particular, each adapter that receives the frame will check to see whether the destination MAC address in the frame matches its own MAC address. If there is a match, the adapter extracts the enclosed datagram and passes the datagram up the protocol stack to its parent node. If there isnt a match, the adapter discards the frame, without passing the network-layer datagram up the protocol stack. In this way, only the destination node will be interrupted when the frame is received. On the other hand, sometimes a sending adapter does want all the other adapters on the LAN to receive and process the frame it is about to send. In this case, the sending adapter inserts a special MAC broadcast address into the destination address field of the frame. For LANs that use 6-byte address (such as Ethernet and token-passing LANs), the broadcast address is a string of 48 consecutive 1s (that is, FF-FF-FF-FF-FF-FF in hexadecimal notation).

- Check the battery to make sure it is winter ready.
- Tires should have mud and snow (M+S) or all-season tread and be in good condition.
- Brakes should be checked and serviced if necessary. Even braking on all four wheels will lessen the chance of skids on slippery roads.
- Make sure your vehicle's exhaust system has no leaks. Carbon monoxide is a silent killer and can accumulate quickly in closed vehicles.
- Make sure your wiper blades are in good condition. Keep the windshield washer reservoir filled with antifreeze solvent.
- Check the radiator, heater core and all hoses that carry antifreeze solution to see that they are in good condition and free of leaks. Also check to see that the solution is good to at least 40 below zero.
- Use winter weight oil (usually 5W-30) in the engine.
- Carry a winter survival kit in the vehicle.
Stay Safe this season!

Will Smith smitten by canine co-starDecember 14th, 2007 - 2:45 pm ICT by admin
Washington, Dec 14(ANI): Hollywood superstar Will Smith has admitted to being smitten by his canine co-star in his new flick I am Legend.
The Men in Black star became so fond of the Alsatian dog that he begged her owner to let him take the pooch home.
"I always refused to become emotionally attached to animals and then I met this dog, Contactmusic quoted the star, as saying.
"I asked her owner if she could live with me, but she said she had to work," he added.
Smith had refused to get attached to family pets ever since his dog was died after being hit by a car when the actor was nine. (ANI)

Real-time security information and event management (SIEM) solutions are helping organizations detect targeted attacks and advanced persistent threats (APT) within minutes, according to a survey released by McAfee on Tuesday.
McAfee worked with Evalueserve – which in August surveyed 473 IT decision makers from companies in the U.S., UK, Germany, France and Australia that have more than 50 employees – and found that 78 percent of organizations able to detect targeted attacks within minutes are using a real-time SIEM solution.
While 57 percent of companies able to detect targeted attacks within minutes – referred to in the survey as 'agile organizations' – experienced 10 or fewer attacks last year, 12 percent of agile organizations investigated more than 50 incidents last year, the survey indicates.
"Basically, detecting within minutes seems to drop the majority of companies down to investigating fewer events, or it gives you better weaponry as you fight more events," Barbara Kay, senior director of Security Connected solutions, told SCMagazine.com in a Tuesday email correspondence. "My take is that it isn't a panacea. If you have valuable assets, you still get targeted."
Of those surveyed, 74 percent of respondents said they are highly concerned about their ability to handle targeted attacks and APTs, and 52 percent of those least concerned about attacks are using a real-time SIEM solution, according to the study.
Furthermore, the survey shows that organizations most effective at detecting attacks are focusing on several key indicators, including unusual alert patterns, suspicious outbound traffic, and unexpected internal traffic.
These indicators allow a higher degree of precision and confidence in risk assessment, Kay said, explaining they fall into two categories: communication traffic – coming in, within the network, or leaving – and aggregated system events.
"None is based on a simple binary test for good [or] bad," Kay said. "Most rely on some degree of baselining or timelining. It can be a baseline against good practice (don't let your DMZ talk to your internal hosts), or against a timeline (multiple infections within a workgroup that holds sensitive data), which is a different way of defining a baseline of normal. This is an important way to differentiate determined from opportunistic attacks."

Oskar Zieta
Oskar Zieta is a designer who since 2003 has been working as a research associate and a teaching assistant at the chair of CAAD at the ETH in Zurich and writing his doctoral thesis under supervision of Prof. Dr. Ludger Hovestadt. The main focus of his thesis is the input of computer-controlled machines in processing of metal sheets in the architecture and design. During his research at the ETH, Oskar Zieta has developed different methods of enhancing efficiency of technology for steel design, architecture and construction. The main topic was the use of steel sheets as a construction element – cheap, easy to shape and efficient. The problem with steel sheets is stability – the work was focused on how to reach the desired stability of steel sheets to be able to use them as construction elements.
Many different technologies were developed - among others, FIDU technology. In 2008 Oskar Zieta introduced to the market, manufactured by HAY, his PLOPP stool. The unique, toy-looking and playful shape of Plopp is an effect of the innovative forming method called FIDU. FIDU technology means that two ultra-thin steel sheets are welded together around their edges and inflated under high pressure to give a 3d object. FIDU enables mass production of individualized shapes. Forms made in FIDU are very light but also very durable. Since its market release, the Plopp stool has been shown on many exhibitions around the world and has won many prestigious awards – including Red Dot Design Award 2008, German Design Council Award 2008 and Forum AID Award 2009.
Zieta Prozessdesign is a multidisciplinary team of architects, designers, engineers and technologists. They cooperate with psychologists, biologists, scientists and many others specialists in order to create the most innovative solutions.

If your conference venue needs fall somewhere in between meeting at Starbucks for a coffee and renting a hotel ballroom, sharing economy company Breather can probably find you the perfect space. The company currently has more than 300 meeting venues in ten cities including Toronto and Montreal (the founding city) in Canada; New York, Los Angeles, and Palo Alto in the U.S.; and they've recently opened a portfolio of meeting rooms in London, U.K. Leases for venues in Paris and Berlin are currently being negotiated.
While it doesn't have the reach yet of some other online markets for non-traditional meeting space (think Spacebase, EventUp or Bizly), Breather's model is a bit different. Started as a marketplace for landlords to advertise meeting rooms, the company quickly found that small corporate groups wanted consistent, upscale design and technology. The only way to guarantee this was to take out long-term leases on properties and then upgrade them to meet clients' expectations. The company now has a lease on every meeting space it rents.
To rent a property, clients select the location, date, time and duration needed, and number of people to accommodate, using an online tool. After the venue is booked, Breather sends an access code to open the door using a digital keypad. There are no attendants, although an online concierge tool can help with catering and other amenities near the location.
The rooms include chargers, whiteboards, and A/V, and the obligatory boardroom tables and chairs. All the spaces include more casual seating arrangements, including comfortable sofas, so clients can collapse for a celebratory nap after a successful pitch. The initial target for the business model was the Millennial demographic, but the high-end aesthetic and convenient locations will appeal to meeting planners from all industries and demographics who need an off-site location for anything from job interviews to private conferences.
There are no minimum durations and no add-ons, Wi-Fi and equipment is part of the fee. Depending on the size, time of day, and location of the space, fees start around $40 an hour.
Breather's design and facility choices are entirely data driven using customer feedback with sometimes surprising revelations. Although many of Breather's clients do yoga, there was an overwhelmingly negative response to providing yoga mats in venues. It seems communal yoga mats are over sharing even in the sharing economy.

The reason for this was an unusually high number of acceptances.
They've had very large cohorts recently. Close to 20 a year or two ago. Overall, their student body is extremely large for the small amount of faculty they have.
That seems to be true by definition. NYU couldn't have large cohorts without high number of acceptances :D

Going for Broke
Nov. 27, 2001
By Nicole Borges
Only a sophomore at Washington, gymnast Emily Pritchard has the experience most seniors never attain.
Even before coming to Washington, Pritchard had already made a name for herself with Puget Sound Gymnastics Club in Puyallup, competing at the state and region all-around competition in 1999 for USA Gymnastics, and three times at level-10 national competitions.
With such credentials, Pritchard was highly-recruited nationally, but chose to put her talents to use at home.
'When I got to Washington, the atmosphere, the team, and the coaches were different from the other schools,' she says. 'I felt comfortable here.'
As a freshman in 2000-2001, Pritchard set high goals for herself, arousing skepticism from some. Pritchard, though, knew of no other way to prepare.
'I wanted to go to nationals as a team and become an All-American, but when I got to Washington things were different,' Pritchard says. 'I realized it was not always normal for freshmen to compete. It depends on how good they are and what is missing in the team.'
Prtichard was determined to be the exception. Though her dream of the team competition at the NCAA meet came to and end, Pritchard qualified for the national meet as an individual, with stelaar performances in all four events at the NCAA Regional Championships in Nebraska. Just a freshman, she was about to experience a whole new level of competition.
'All the top schools in the country were there,' she says. 'It was hard, going from having your whole team supporting you, to being alone. It didn't end up how I wanted it to, but just being there and knowing that I qualified was an amazing experience, especially as a freshman.'
Looking toward a new season that begins January, Pritchard has emerged as a leader. The expectations of others are high, but none higher than the ones she sets for herself.
'I feel a lot more prepared this year,' she says. 'I know what to expect mentally. Coming from club competition and going into college, you do not know what to expect. Now I do, and also, physically, I am better off this year.'
Pritchard's accomplishments in her freshman year are more amazing considering the physical roadblocks she has had to fight through. As a sophomore in high school, Prtichard found out she had a tumor in her left shin. Three years and several operations later, she is still landing on top of her competition.
'I had my first operation at the end of my sophomore year in high school, then I had another one my senior year,' she explains. 'When I got to Washington, the fall of my freshman year, I had three more because I had to get the screw taken out.'
Reflecting back on the trials and tribulations of her freshman year, it seems remarkable a person could endure so much pain yet experience so much success. Plagued by injuries, Pritchard still battles with her most recent surgery.
'At a meet last year, I fell on the beam and a piece of the bone in my ankle chipped out,' she says. 'It was really painful but I didn't think it was that bad. We took x-rays and nothing showed, and then this summer we took some more x-rays and it was clear that the bone had broken off and reattached itself at the top.'
Through it all, Pritchard continues to stay positive. Building on the success of her 2001 season, she has set even higher standards for herself and the Husky gymnastics team in 2002. Getting stronger day-by-day, Pritchard refuses to step down to her injuries.
'My shin is so much stronger,' she says. 'I've been working on a lot of new skills that I couldn't do before. I have a pretty high pain tolerance, having been through all of this.'
For most, injuries of this type would be career-ending. For Pritchard, however, it is just another bump in the road. Head coach Bob Levesque expects Pritchard to go to nationals every year.
This year, she doesn't want to go alone.

In honour of 100 years passing since the outbreak World War 1, I decided to try and recreate a front-line trench staple, Maconochie. Originally named after the Aberdeen Maconochie Company that produced this soup/stew concoction, many said that when warm it could range from anywhere from horrid to 'OK' but when cold 'it was a man killer', with people complaining the potatoes within it looked like small black rocks.
Apparently there is also a French version called: Maconóochie and a Polish version called: Maconochski (not really, made that last one up). So here's the recipe, see below for my review.
Makes 4 servings or 2 servings for a big hungry trench soldier of someone greedy like me
- 340g beef (or one can of corned beef*)
- 140g potatoes
- 3 carrots
- 1 onion
- A tin of white beans (I think I used butter)
- 2-3 big mugs of beef stock depending on how runny you like it
- Plain flour to thicken
- 2 tbsp (lard or rendered beef fat – I used Lurpak)
- Salt to taste
- Cut the beef into small pieces
- Cut potatoes and carrots into ½' thick slices and chop onions as well
- Boil in a little water the beef, potatoes, carrots and onions until tender, use a slotted spoon to remove from the broth
- I then used a griddle and add cooked the potatoes, carrots, onions, beans and beef over medium heat, making sure to brown the beef
- Return the ingredients back to the stock and use the flour to thicken a little
- Cook until thickened
- Salt to taste
- For a real treat, serve with hard Army biscuits (have no idea what these are though but doubt very much in the day of Penguins etc. these would be deemed 'a treat')
So the soup was very easy to make, rough chopping and simple ingredients only but it definitely had a war time appearance, brown and un-enticing. The flour I added to it didn't entirely mix in, leaving it with white pocks which took a lot of stirring to get rid of (my fault). The smell of the kitchen was delicious though, fried onions and beefy wafts, yum.
Instead of rough cuts of rationed meat, I used organic beef from Sainsburys and cooked it on a griddle. Don't think they had these things in the trenches but I have to say the outcome was that the meat was INCREDIBLY tough. Forget black potato rocks, this was like diamond hard chunks of lead. I had to navigate my way around them when eating to avoid a potential choking hazard. A slow cook would be much more advisable than how I did it. You can also use corned beef, tempted …?
When cooled, maconochie also gathered quite a hefty film of fat which was slightly disconcerting but which quickly dissipated once re-heated, nay bother.
Cost: 6 pound sign out of 10 (Organic beef was a mistake considering it tasted like boot)
Tastiness: 4 tongues out of 10 (It was very comforting but taste was simple)
Complexity: 3 labyrinths out of 10 (Very simple to make, perhaps harder to make it nicely)
Overall: 4 ladles out of 10
A very underwhelming outcome for this soup but I very much enjoyed learning the history of it although do worry that the original version was infinitely better than my re-hashed version with extra flour.
Bub-bye! ~MS~

Who wants to have a form of democratic government? Of course, there are people who would agree that this form of government is an ideal one. Dame ure declared that democracy is the most ideal form of government which all the eligible citizens would equally participate. Do you find it interesting? People would admire if a particular state would develop because of good leadership. But you cannot experience it if you don't have good and responsible leaders. No people would want to have a government that would rule the state without doing something. The leaders are the people who are in the position to do such responsibilities that are given to them for the improvement of the nation. But it is sad to hear that we heard lots of democratic nations today are led by wrong people who are in the position or as the representatives from Dame Ure or Herre ure. They are not working properly and they don't seriously take their jobs. However, even we hear this bad news, there are still nation that is in democracy government and led by responsible people. It is so much impressing that they are doing their job well and you can prove that they are doing the right thing because you can see some improvements into the region where they are assigned.
Dame ure would explain that democracy is a kind of government in which people are treated equal and they can freely participate and contribute to the people. It is nice that people can freely engage any activity that is for the nation's welfare. This form of government will directly led by elected representatives from Dame ure or Herre ure. These elected representatives will do the plans for the better of the government and for the common good of the people. The elected representatives will do some development, proposals and creation of laws. It encompasses economic, social and cultural conditions that enable the equal and free practice of political self-determination. The improvement of the state is truly impressing. No people would not want to hear their voices in the nations and permitted to perform their plans. The citizens have their own thinking, ideas, plans and objectives to have a well-governed state. So, it is good that democracy is active form of government. Democracy is actually the rule of the majority. The supreme power of the people is vested. It is indirectly or directly exercised through a system of representation. Elections usually help so that the people can choose their leaders wherein they put their trust onto them.
Having responsible leaders is a very important thing even in our modern time. In time you choose the right and responsible leaders, you would not neglect on choosing them. You would taste and feel the right leadership. You will feel that you made the right choice. The right to vote is actually one of the most interesting events in a democratic nation. Political authority is practiced in a democratic country. Democratic government is a political unit in which they perform they jobs for the people and for the nation's development. Dame ure can contribute good and responsible leadership.
