Breeding 101 under fire
WASHINGTON - For as long as Thoroughbred racehorses have existed, breeders have sought to produce the best horses by creating pedigrees with the proper blend of speed and stamina. But the modern American breeding industry has rejected this traditional approach. It wants speed, speed, and more speed.
The emphasis has become so extreme that fast sprinters are more likely to become fashionable stallions than winners of long races such as the Belmont Stakes.
The clash between old and new ideas has been decided in the marketplace, where buyers pay top prices for youngsters likely to be quick and precocious, thus encouraging breeders to produce such horses. But the battle between the old and the new also took corporeal form on the first Saturday in May, when two horses raced abreast of each other as they turned into the stretch at Churchill Downs.
One of the horses, Empire Maker, possessed such a classic pedigree that people at Juddmonte Farms envisioned him as a Kentucky Derby winner from the day he was born. His sire, Unbridled, had won America's two most important 1 1/4-mile races, the Derby and the Breeders' Cup Classic. His dam, Toussaud, had produced two foals who won Grade 1 stakes at 1 1/4 miles.
Funny Cide, who was racing alongside Empire Maker at Churchill Downs, was of a different caste entirely. His sire, Distorted Humor, was a fast horse whose optimal distance was seven furlongs. Only once did he win running as far as a mile - and that was in a four-horse race. Funny Cide's dam won two cheap sprints in Oklahoma. The gelding's genes should have dictated that he fade in the stretch.
He did not; he drew away from Empire Maker. If he can defeat his regally bred rival again in the Belmont Stakes, Funny Cide can capture the Triple Crown and thoroughly mock the supposed shortcomings of his speed-oriented pedigree.
The current fashions in the sport derive from long-established principles of breeding. When the Aga Khan, a famous breeder, was asked in 1950 how to improve the British Thoroughbred, he replied, "The remedy must be more and more speed."
Horses with this vital quality are most likely to go on to be effective sires. The most influential stallions of the 1990's were Mr. Prospector, Danzig, and Seattle Slew - all blazingly fast racehorses.
Conversely, horses who lack quickness but win at long distances often go to stud and pass on only their slowness to their offspring. Strike the Gold and Sea Hero rallied from far behind to win the Kentucky Derby in the 1990's; both were such busts as stallions that they would up being exiled to Turkey for stud duty.
The great American breeders of the 20th century - the Phippses, the Whitneys, the Vanderbilts, Calumet Farm - all understood that speed was just part of genetic mix necessary to develop classic winners. All aspired to win important stakes at 1 1/4 miles or longer, and winning those races required stamina.
But as the great dynasties faded away or diminished in importance, commercial breeders began to dominate the business. They raised horses not to win the Jockey Club Gold Cup but to sell them at auction as yearlings or 2-year-olds. The majority of buyers didn't prefer late-maturing distance runners.
"Everybody wants an immediate return on their investment," said John Sikura, owner of Hill 'n' Dale Farm in Kentucky. "The market is dominated by short-term thinking."
In recent years the emphasis on speed and precocity has become so disproportionate that distance runners have become stigmatized. "There aren't too many horses who win classic races that turn people on. How many Derby winners are in great demand?" asked Ray Paulick, editor of The Blood-Horse magazine.
The answer: not many. Stud fees reflect contemporary preferences. Distorted Humor, whose greatest achievement was winning a Grade 2 stakes at seven furlongs, commanded a $20,000 fee even before Funny Cide developed into a star. Real Quiet - who came within a nose of sweeping the Triple Crown - is priced at $10,000.
The preference for speedsters becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy, because they are bred to better mares and thus obtain a greater chance of success. Innumerable fast sprinters are now hot commodities in the marketplace - Forest Wildcat, Cherokee Run, Carson City, Montbrook, Phone Trick, Mr. Greeley. Their offspring command hefty prices even though they likely will not have the stamina to win classic races. Yet owners and trainers prefer to buy fast horses and gamble on their stamina because the American racing game favors speed.
Tracks card fewer long-distance races than they did in the past. Most racing surfaces favor speed. A sprinter who gets a comfortable lead and sets a slow pace can easily win a long race. Ric Waldman, stallion manager at Overbrook Farm, recalled that the late trainer Charlie Whittingham said that any horse can go a distance if he can be taught to relax.
"Trainers feel like most speed horses can be stretched out," Waldman said. "If Barclay Tagg didn't feel that way, he probably wouldn't have bought Funny Cide."
Sprint-bred horses routinely win at a mile or even 1 1/8 miles - yet that is usually their limit. Pedigree expert Bill Oppenheim observed: "The recent history of North American breeding is all about speed stretching out. But the history of the Kentucky Derby suggests that speed can stretch out to nine furlongs - not 10 furlongs."
Year after year, horses with good form at 1 1/8 miles hit the wall when they try to go the Derby distance. For this reason, most people viewed Funny Cide with skepticism in the Derby. Perhaps his victory indicated that Distorted Humor is a freakish kind of sire, one who will beget offspring with far more stamina than he himself possessed. But even if this is the case, Funny Cide likely will find the 1 1/2-mile distance of the Belmont a formidable challenge.
Before the Triple Crown series began, John Chandler, president of Juddmonte Farms, lamented some of the current trends in the industry. Chandler is a traditionalist who looks back wistfully on the days when the most important race in the fall was the two-mile Jockey Club Gold Cup. (Now it is run at 1 1/4 miles.)
"Everything is shortening up," Chandler said, "and people are breeding horses with less stamina. That's why the Belmont will always be a stumbling block."
At 1 1/2 miles, he assumed, a horse with a classic pedigree - such as Juddmonte's Empire Maker - ought to have a distinct advantage.
Centuries of Thoroughbred history suggest that horses bred like Empire Maker are supposed to win races such as the Belmont Stakes. If Funny Cide prevails Saturday, he will drive yet another nail into the coffin of traditional ideas about breeding.

Super Hero Hype brings us the following:
Some of the first images to come from the set of The Amazing Spider-Man 2 set were of actress Shailene Woodley as Mary Jane Watson, and now it appears that footage won't be seen in the upcoming sequel. In an interview with Entertainment Weekly (thanks to SHH user 'fuflipflops'), Woodley confirmed that her character will be cut out of the second movie and won't appear until the third film in the series.
"Of course I'm bummed," said the actress. "But I'm a firm believer in everything happening for a specific reason....based on the proposed plot, I completely understand holding off on introducing (Mary Jane) until the next film."
"I made a creative decision to streamline the story and focus on Peter and Gwen and their relationship," said director Marc Webb in a statement. "Shailene is an incredibly talented actress and while we only shot a few scenes with Mary Jane, we all love working with her."The Amazing Spider-man 2 will hit theaters on 02 May 2014.

Washington State University researchers have developed a way to store energy and provide defenses against potential biological attacks from terrorists.
Washington State University professor Choong-Suk Yoo, who recently published the results of the study in the online edition of Nature Chemistry, told news.opb.org that he was successful in using xenon diflouride as a way to store energy by turning gas into a solid.
Yoo also said that, in addition to creating this "battery," he has also made what could eventually become a germ-fighting super-oxidizing compound.
"Flourine is the element which is the strongest oxidizer of all elements available," Yoo told news.opb.org. "It has been one of the dreams to making a metallic, or polymeric form of the fluorine itself."
Once perfected, the fluorine could be used to defend against biological or chemical terrorist attacks, Yoo said.
Yoo also said that he is working on ways to try to solidify xenon diflouride using the least amount of energy and on how to keep it a solid.
Funding for the Washington State University research has been provided through the National Science Foundation and the Defense Department.
Xenon diflouride is one of the most stable xenon compounds. It is moisture sensitive and decomposes on contact with light or water vapor. In its solid form, xenon diflouride is a dense, white crystalline solid with a nauseating odor.
New energy storage method may fight bioterror

So, brownies: overdone? maybe. Well I'm quite particular when it comes to brownies; not too soggy, not too dry, crispy edge etc. So, where better to turn than trusty Nigel Slater for a recipe. He gets this kind of thing. And I can safely say he gets it right again. This is where I'm going to turn for brownies from now on.

Ingredients:
• 300g Caster Sugar
• 250g Butter
• 250g Dark Chocolate
• 3 Eggs & 1 Yolk
• 60g Plain flour
• 60g Cocoa Powder
• Half teaspoon Baking Powder

Method:
• Preheat oven to 180°C and line a 22cm square tin.
• Beat butter and sugar together throughly.
• Break the chocolate up and melt 200g of it, set aside to cool slightly. Chop the remaining.
• Gradually beat in the eggs into the butter and sugar, then mix in all the chocolate.
• Fold in the sifted dry ingredients, then pour into the tin.
• Bake for 30 minutes until slightly risen and a skewer comes out slightly less than clean. Cool before cutting up.TRhttp://firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-5039139769900038120.post-352312807072903062012-03-01T08:30:00.001+00:002012-03-01T08:47:20.857+00:00Turkey Rogan Josh...
...or The Best Curry I've ever made.

Please excuse the superlative title of this post. But it was really rather good.

I was aiming for a Rogan Josh style curry, and wanted a slow cook to maximise meat tenderness and flavour. The result was perfectly tender turkey chunks (yes not your obvious curry meat, but cheap and very tasty so give it a try) in a rich, silky, tomato-based sauce. The effort required was minimal. All round the ideal meal really.

Being a curry the list of ingredients is as long as your arm, but it's mostly spices and I reckon you can just give it a bash with whatever you've got in.

Ingredients:
• 600g diced Turkey Thigh
• 2 tbsp Plain Flour
• 1 Onion
• 2 tsp Ghee (or Oil)
• 3 tsp minced Ginger & Garlic paste
• 1 tsp Cumin seeds
• 1 tsp Fenugreek Seeds
• 1 tsp Mustard Seeds
• 1 tsp ground Turmeric
• 4 tsp Curry Powder
• ½ tsp Chilli Powder
• 1 x 400g tin Chopped Tomatoes
• 250ml Passata
• 250ml Beef stock

Method:
• Pre-heat your oven to 140-150°C.

The bit with all the flavour (10 mins)
• Heat the ghee in a large pan.
• Add the onion (chop half finely, the other half into thin slices/chunks) and begin to sweat over a medium to low heat.
• Add the ginger/garlic paste and the seeds to the pan and continue to cook on medium.
• When the onions have sweated down nicely, add the powedered spices and cook for anothe rminute or two until you have a pan full of flavourful paste/onions.
• Transfer to a casserole dish.

The meat (5 mins)
• Turn the pan up and if it's looking dry add a little oil.
• Coat your meat in the flour and add to the pan to sear/brown the outsides (may need two batches, dont crowd the pan).
• Transfer to the casserole and stir into the pastey mix.

The sauce (1 min)
• Make up the stock (I used half a stock cube)
• Pour the tomatoes and passata over the meat with the stock and stir together. (it should just about cover the meat)

Cooking (2-3 hours)
• Cover the dish tightly with foil and/or a lid if it has one.
• Place in the oven and wait.
• Check around 2 hours, if you're in, that it hasn't completely reduced or dried out (not likely, but add some liquid if so).
• After about 3 hours reomve from the oven and serve as traditional with rice and naan, and anything else you usually have with your curries (I made a quick chickpea dhal to go with this one)

(Serves 2 heartily, or 3 with plenty of sides)

Notes:
• You can add some veg to the dish too if you like, I've done it with red pepper chopped up and thrown in.
• Curries don't photograph well!

TRhttp://firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-5039139769900038120.post-3568940879341925762012-02-24T07:00:00.000+00:002012-02-24T07:00:12.406+00:00Welsh Cakes...Well, St. David's day is approaching, so it seems a good time to put these on the blog.

I had always been told you couldn't make good Welsh Cakes without a cast iron griddle, but thought it was worth a go anyway. Turns out it was. I'm sure they could be slightly improved on a griddle but with some patience in the heaviest pan you've got it's worth a go.

In case you don't know, which if you don't live in Wales you might not, Welsh Cakes are similar to a fruit scone but rolled flatter and cooked on a griddle rather than in the oven. They tend to be a bit moister too, dusted with sugar and really moreish.

For something like this you can rely on Delia, so that's where I turned for a simple recipe.

Ingredients:
• 8oz Self-Raising Flour
• 4oz Butter
• 3oz Mixed Dried Fruit/Sultanas
• 3oz Caster Sugar
• 1 Egg
• half-teaspoon Mixed Spice

Method:
• Sift the flour, 2oz sugar and spice together and then mix in the fruit.
• Rub in the butter until it resembles breadcrumbs.
• Beat the egg and slowly mix in, drawing the dry mix in to the centre, to form a smooth dough. You can add a small splash of milk if it's a bit crumbly, but not too much as you don't want it sticky.
• Roll out on a floured surface to about 5mm thick, cut into rounds.
• Heat a heavy frying pan (or griddle) on a medium heat, with a little oil rubbed over it to grease.
• When the pan's hot, put 3 or 4 of the rounds in and cook gently for about 3 minutes each side. They'll slightly puff up, but you'll barely notice it.
• Keep an eye on them as you don't want them charred (although some people prefer that in Wales), when they're done, pop them out, toss in the remaining sugar and cool on a rack.

(Makes at least 20. When you get on a roll, you can have some cooking, whilst you roll and cut the others)

Notes:
• Done-ness is up to you. I like to keep the centre still slightly moist, but some people will like it more thoroughly cooked. Whatever happens each will be a bit different as the pan will vary in temperature, their thicknesses will be different and you'll probably not time the cooking to the second.TRhttp://firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-5039139769900038120.post-26693111027669463772012-02-15T19:42:00.000+00:002012-02-15T19:42:08.522+00:00Turkey Burgers...

This is currently on our mid-week meal repertoire. It's so simple, quick, cheap and really tasty; all you need in the week really. We sometimes have a pack of rolls in the freezer to put them in, but they're just as good open with chips on the side.

This is a bit of a 'bodge it' type recipe idea, but here's the rough basis of what I use.
• 350g pack Turkey Mince
• 1 Egg
• 1 slice bread, breadcrumbed
• quarter Onion, finely chopped
• Sprinkling of chopped something* for extra flavour
• Salt & Pepper

* the 'chopped something' is either some parsley/chives if there's any in, some finely chopped spring onion green tops (keep this in the freezer to add to all sorts of things), chilli, even a spoonful of mustard if none of them are available; it's completely up to you.

Method:
• Place all in bowl together and mix into a smooth paste (with hands is easiest).
• Shape in to small burger shaped patties.
• Fry in a little oil gently for about 4 or 5 minutes each side until golden brown and cooked through.

(Makes about 6)TRhttp://firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-5039139769900038120.post-42038432656585954852011-09-29T07:00:00.001+01:002011-09-29T07:00:04.628+01:00Flan Pâtissier...Every time we've been to France recently there's been some irrational obsession and anticipation about having a slice of 'flan'. This is usually followed by the inevitable, equally irrational over-eating of said 'flan'. In an attempt to meet this need the rest of the year, I have done some searching for the 'flan' recipe online, but with only that one word to go on, the results were variable. Then I spotted this box of flan mix in a French supermarket, which surely was going to be the answer to our need for flan the year round. It was worth a gamble for €1.15.

As it happens, when we got it home I realised that the box simply contains cornflour, vanilla flavouring and colouring. You have to add milk, sugar and, if you want to improve the flavour, an egg (On that note, make sure you add the sugar – long story); so really we already had everything we needed in the cupboard.

It was obvious really, but now I know it's called Flan Pâtissier as I've seen it on the box, and a quick google reveals loads of authentic, egg-based recipes I can try, so look out for flan version 2 in the future.

• Line a fairly deep tart tin or cake tin with a rich shortcrust pastry, and bake blind so the pastry is cooked before adding the filling
• Beat the egg, sugar, 250ml of milk and the packet mix together in a bowl/jug
• Meanwhile bring the rest of the milk to the boil slowly, stirring all the time so it doesnt catch.
• When it has boiled, por it over the egg mixture and stir together thoroughly
• Return to the pan and simmer for 1-2 minutes until the custard begins to thicken up
• Pour into the crust and bake for around 40 minutes at 180°C until the crust is well browned.
• Cool for at least 2 hours in the fridge before slicing and serving.

Notes:
• A rich pastry can be made quickly by combining 8oz of plain flour, with 3oz of butter to resemble breadcrumbs. Then bind the mixture with an egg and a little milk. It can be sweetened with 2 or 3 spoons of icing sugar.
• Curiously the box recipe does not call for pastry, but says you can butter the dish and dust with flour. This does work, and it holds together fine, but really you want pastry!TRhttp://email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-5039139769900038120.post-54814164273359706032011-09-21T10:26:00.001+01:002011-09-21T10:26:00.611+01:00Peanut Butter & White Choc Brownies...This is one of a few things that I made for my birthday. These mini brownies (or blondies) were ideal to take into work to share around. For us it was a given that we'd like them, peanut butter being something of a favourite. To me, the end result is not so much like a brownie, but is a very tasty, dense mini cake with the perfect contrast of salty and sweet from the peanut butter and white chocolate respectively. Moreish.

• Cream the butter, peanut butter and sugar together. Beat in the egg and vanilla essence.
• Sift the flour and baking powders and add to the mixture with the chocolate chipe to form a dough.
• Spread into a square tin and bake at 170°C for 25 minutes until golden brown.
• Cool in the tin before slicing.

Notes:
• Taken from Rachel Allen's Bake TRhttp://email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-5039139769900038120.post-81188697774359119292011-09-14T20:46:00.002+01:002011-09-14T20:49:08.959+01:00Apple & Almond Cake...I made this cake as we were desperate for some cake but had no butter in. So I started trawling recipes for something that could be baked without it and came across this recipe, then played about with it a bit. Mainly changing it from rhubarb to apple. The cake is light and tasty. The apples add a nice moist element and the crunchy topping finishes it off perfectly. I think there's plenty of scope here for development or customisation if you fancy. It's handy to have a tasty non-butter based cake recipe you can call on when needed.

• Beat the brown sugar, oil, egg and vanilla essence together.
• Gradually add the flour, bicarbonate of soda and milk to this mixture, until smooth.
• Stir in the apple, pour into a tin.
• Combine caster sugar with a tablespoon of melted butter (I used oil as obviously had no butter) and stir in the flaked almonds.
• Sprinkle this over the top of the cake then bake for 30 minutes in a preheated oven (180°C).TRhttp://firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-5039139769900038120.post-67953458455505206482011-07-20T20:59:00.000+01:002011-07-20T21:03:19.075+01:00Viennese Whirls...

I recently decided to 'resurrect' these biscuits. They follow a family recipe of my aunt's and I'd not had them for years.

Forget Mr. Kipling's, and make your own very quickly and very easily. These are seriously simple, but so tasty.

• Preheat oven to 150°C
• In a food processor (or by hand) mix 6 oz butter and 2 oz icing sugar until creamy.
• Blend in 6 oz self raising flour and 2 oz custard powder.
• Spoon into small teaspoon-sized blobs onto a baking sheet and press down with a fork to flatten/pattern (or use a piping bag for a swirl if you'd prefer a true 'whirl').
• Bake for 10-15 minutes until slightly golden.
• Leave to cool for around half an hour.

Filling:
• Beat together butter and icing sugar (about a 1:4 ratio) until creamy.
• Spread generous blob of icing on a biscuit.
• Spoon a little jam onto the centre of that and sandwich another biscuit on top.
• To finish dust with a little icing sugar.

Notes:
• If you dont have custard powder you can also use a mixture of cornflour, vanilla essence and yellow colouring as this what custard powder is made from anyway.
• If the jam is quite sticky, blast it in the microwave for 10 seconds or so to loosen up.

This recipe is from Rachel Allen and is quick, simple and tatsy too. We tucked into this with a homemade soup, I think it ws leek & potato.

Ingredients:
450g Plain Flour
1 tsp Caster Sugar
1 tsp Bicarbonate of Soda
1 tsp Salt
350-425ml Buttermilk/Sour Milk (we used Sour cream, thinned with milk)

• Preheat the oven to 230°C.
• Sift the dry ingredients and make a well in the centre.
• Pour in the sour cream and mix together with your fingertips (don't knead) to form a soft dough.
• Turn out onto a surface, pat into a round and mark a deep cross on top.
• Place on a tray and bake for 15 minutes before turning down the heat to 200°C and cooking for a further 30 minutes.
• Cool on a rack.TRhttp://email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-5039139769900038120.post-57668268583821375882011-06-29T13:00:00.001+01:002011-07-20T21:03:19.077+01:00Traybake...We've been wondering how I've had this blog going for the best part of a year and not yet posted this recipe? It's one of my family signature snacks, so it was always going to end up on here. The truth is that I think I simply hadn't made it in that time; you might say it was taking a bit of a break, but this time it certainly came back with a bang. One of the best batches ever made.

There are tonnes of chocolate and bicuit based fridge-set traybake (just 'traybake' for short) recipes out there, they all offer something slightly different. I've experimented with various additions and quantities in developing this over the years and settled roughly at the recipe you'll see below. It's a development of my Grandma's recipe, which has been a staple at many a family get together and always eagerly looked forward to. You can muck around with it, but please (for mine and my Grandma's sake) don't switch the biscuits for Ginger Nuts and don't add marshmallows. That's not traybake.

...well, go on muck around if you must. That's what baking's about, but keep it quiet.

• Melt the butter and chocolate in a pan over a very low heat. Keep an eye on it, stirring often.
• Meanwhile, crush the biscuits and hazelnuts in a mixing bowl with the end of a rolling pin. You want a good variety of biscuit piece sizes, ranging from around 1p coins to dust. If you want my opinion it's best at around 25% larger pieces, the remainder as dust. You just need to crack the hazelnuts.
• Add the fruit and coconut to the bowl and stir through.
• Drizzle the condensed milk over the mix then pour in the chocolate and stir thoroughly.
• Press down flat in a 20 x 20cm tray lined with baking paper and refrigerate until set.
• When it is set, cut into squares or if you want, melt a further 4oz of chocolate and spread over the top and set before cutting.

Notes:
• The condensed milk is a 397ml can so you want about 200ml. It keeps for a week or so (maybe longer??) in a container in the fridge so you can make another batch.

We topped with some toasted mustard and cumin seeds before baking (That's as much as I got involved) to complete the Indian flavour.

Ingredients:
1 tbsp Caster Sugar
200ml Warm Water
7g sachet fast acting Yeast
300g Strong White Flour
200g Plain Flour
1 tsp Salt
125ml Natural Yoghurt
40g Melted Ghee
Various Seeds

• Mix sugar, water and yeast together (leave to stand for 5 minutes if not fast-acting yeast)
• Mix the flour, salt and yeast mixture together in a separate bowl.
• Whisk the yoghurt and ghee together.
• Combine all ingredients together to form a dough.
• Knead for 10 minutes, place in a oiled bowl coating the dough in oil then cover and leave in a warm place for 1-3 hours.
• Place a tray in the oven and preheat for 15 minutes to 230°C.
• Punch down the risen dough, knead for 2 minutes more then leave aside for 15 minutes.
• Divide into 8 balls, shape/stretch into teardrops (leave the other balls covered when not working with them).
• Place on the baking try, dampen the top and sprinkle with seeds.
• Bake for 4-5 minutes. (optional - you can brush with melted ghee when cooked).TRhttp://email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-5039139769900038120.post-56389674088964310012011-06-21T21:58:00.000+01:002011-07-20T21:02:53.317+01:00Bacon Gratin Pie...Sometimes you need to branch out at dinner time and try something different. In this case, dream up something different. It was far from perfect and needs some development to make it really work but a general success and pretty tasty. Anyway, it's something you can work with as an idea. It's just a puff pastry sheet with a tasty filling topped with sliced potato and cheese. In this one I fried up onions, garlic, leeks and smoked bacon to make a filling, topped it with sliced boiled potatoes and cheese and carefully poured over a little beaten egg and milk mixture then baked it for about 30 minutes at 200°C.

The result is something of a cross between a pie, a gratin and a fritata. A welcome break from the norm.TRhttp://email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-5039139769900038120.post-23410523799735725592011-06-21T21:30:00.002+01:002011-06-21T21:38:22.371+01:00Hazelnut Cake...This cake is divine. I saw it and wanted it immediately. But... we didn't have enought hazelnuts so had to wait. It's taken directly from Rachel Allen's Bake, with no modification besides the decorating (although i found it more practical to do things in a different order). There's no flour, just ground hazelnuts so the end result is moist, whilst the whipped egg whites keep it light. Sorry this photo is so boring, it doesn't to the cake justice really (see it in a different guise) but believe me* it tastes good.

Ingredients:
• 200g Hazelnuts
• 1 tsp Baking Powder
• 1 tsp Cinnamon
• 100g Butter
• 5 Eggs, separated
• 175g Caster Sugar
• 1 tsp Vanilla Essence

Method:
• Preheat oven to 170°C and line a tin with baking paper.
• Grind the hazelnuts on the food processor until finely ground; blend in the baking powder, cinnamon and butter to a coarse paste.
• In a bowl, whisk the egg whites thoroughly until you have stiff peaks.
• In another bowl, beat the egg yolks and sugar together until moussey, then add the hazelnut mixture.
• Fold the whites into the hazelnut mix in 3 stages.
• Pour into the tin and bake for 55-60 minutes until the edges are coming away from the pan.
• It is suggested you don't open the oven during cooking until close to the end of the time.
• Cool for approximately 10 minutes in the tin before turning out to cool fully.
• Decorate with a little buttercream icing and chopped hazelnuts.

Notes:
* Don't take my word for it. I made this for a cake competition and came away with 'Best Tasting'.TRhttp://email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-5039139769900038120.post-60435119462924333022011-05-26T21:15:00.000+01:002011-05-26T22:04:19.791+01:00Grandma's Fruit Loaf...
This recipe of my Grandma's produces you a lovely moist, yet light fruit loaf with a subtle caramel/malt-y flavour. It's the ultimate fruit loaf. Well, if Grandma makes it that is. If anyone else tries you end up with something acceptable, but the magic isn't quite there. This is my latest attempt and was pretty decent considering I didn't have the 'secret' ingredient in.

The original recipe is for 2 loaves, which is why I accidentally photographed 2 eggs.

• Melt butter, sugar and half a cup of water in a pan over a medium heat.
• Add the fruit and leave to cool.
• Combine flour and nuts with 2 tablespoons of Horlicks (secret ingredient), then fold in the flour and the egg (beaten).
• Bake for about 1 hour at 150-160°C. You may want to cover the top half way so the fruit doesn't burn.

We chose the fish course. Then begun the challenge of finding something to make. We wanted something simple, tasty and light enough to leave room for the other courses. We ended up with a bit of a cross between something we'd seen on Jamie's Fish Suppers and a recipe in Nigel Slater's The 30-Minute Cook ('An Indian way with a fish fillet'). The result was very tasty and simple to put together. I'm sure we'll have them again some time.

Ingredients:
750g White Fish
Large Handful Coriander
2 Garlic Cloves
1 inch Green Chilli
Olive Oil
Lemon Juice
5 tbsp Yoghurt
4 slices Breadcrumbs

Method:
• Cut sweet potatoes into wedges, place in a roasting dish with a little oil and dust with paprika and cumin (or whatever takes your fancy). Place in the oven at 200°C to cook whilst you prepare the fish fingers.
• Blitz the coriander, garlic, and chilli with two tablespoons of olive oil and 2 tablespoons of lemon juice.
• Prepare the fish (scale, bone etc.) and cut into inch-thick fingers accross the fillet.
• Dip each fillet in yoghurt, then cover in about a teaspoon on coriander paste and finally roll in breadcrumbs.
• Fry the fish fingers gently for about 4 minutes each side until firm and golden brown.
• Serve with the chips and some mayonnaise mixed with lemon juice and capers.TRhttp://firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-5039139769900038120.post-69256855996439792902011-05-18T20:10:00.003+01:002011-05-20T14:16:04.353+01:00Easter Pudding...I spotted this idea in an M&S magazine that was lying around. We didn't make it for Easter, but rather the week after when they were selling Hot Cross Buns off cheaply. It is essentially a bread and butter pudding, with the addition of some chopped apple. At any other time of the year you could make this with fruit buns or fruit loaf of course, there's no reason for it to be Hot Cross Buns.

Ingredients:
• 12 Hot Cross Buns
• 400ml Double Cream/Single Cream/Milk blend (depending on how rich you want it)
• 2 or 3 Eggs
• 50g Demerara Sugar
• 3 small dessert Apples
• Butter

Method:
• Slice and butter the buns, arrange in a greased tray so the tops are showing.
• Chop the apples into cubes and spread liberally amongst the buns.
• Beat the eggs and stir in the milk/cream. Pour over the buns.
• Sprinkle sugar generously over the top.
• Bake for 30 minutes at 170°C until the custard is set.

(Serves 12)

Notes:
• The original recipe added pears, we only had apples in at the time.
• I added some vanilla syrup (the stuff you'd add to coffee) drizzled over then buns. I can't prove this made it tastier, but it seemed a good idea if you have somehting like that around.TRhttp://firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-5039139769900038120.post-14402349443899771222011-05-13T22:07:00.002+01:002011-07-20T21:02:53.402+01:00Mini Cheese & Leek Quiches...When you make the quiche from a few posts back you might have some pastry left over. I did, so I popped it in the fridge and a couple of days later we had these mini cheese & leek quiches for lunch. We had cheese and leek because that's what was in the fridge needing to be eaten up. I reckon cheese is a quiche essential, along with a little onion, but you should be able to add just about anything else and end up with a tasty egg tart of sorts.

• Veg fried lightly for a few minutes whilst pastry cases had 5 minutes in the oven
• Egg beaten with a dash of milk, poured into cases filled with a little cheese and vegetables
• Baked for 10-15 minutes in oven at 200°C

(made 9)TRhttp://firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-5039139769900038120.post-84146291178912339512011-05-10T22:04:00.002+01:002011-05-10T22:04:00.391+01:00Crumble Topped Fruit Muffins...I seem to make so many cupcake/muffins at the moment. Well, unfortunately here's another. In my defence I started out intending to make this in tray cake format, then at the last minute decided I'd rather portion it up.

The idea is simple, based upon a classic fruit crumble dessert, but turned into a cake. You can try any tasty fruit you like, just make sure there's plenty of them. Having made these with 4 or 5 blackberries per cake I'd say it could easily handle twice that number, or maybe even some cubed apple too. Chunks of rhubarb would be nice.

I put a nice sprinkling of crumble on top of each cake before baking, which, once the cake mixture had risen around it, turned out to be barely noticeable. Next time I'll thoroughly top it off with crumble.

• Make a basic sponge muffin mixture by creaming butter and sugar, adding eggs and folding in self raising four (150g of each and 3 eggs).
• Spoon this into muffin cases, about two-thirds full.
• Drop several blackberries/fruit chunks on top and press into the batter.
• Make a crumble mix with the plain and wholemeal flour blend, remaining sugar, oats and cinnamon (other spices are good too). Blend in the butter gradually; you need it to just begin coming together and form lumps, but not quite become dough.
• Sprinkle generously on top of muffins.
• Bake for 15-20 minutes at 180°C

(Makes 12)

Notes:
• You might need more butter than the 50g in the ingredients for crumble, I didn't weigh it out so took a guess.TRhttp://firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-5039139769900038120.post-48310581734379713382011-05-07T21:42:00.000+01:002011-07-20T21:02:53.405+01:00Quiche...I'd been wanting to make a quiche for quite a long time, but just never got around to it. Well, finally did it and the result was really tasty. Obviously you can add whatever you fancy to the basic mixture, I added chunks of feta cheese, peppers and tomatoes which proved a very tasty combination of sweet and salty.

Ingredients:
6 Eggs
150ml Single Cream
200g Plain Flour
100g Butter
Cold Water
100g Cheese

• To make the pastry, blend the flour and butter together then combine to a soft dough with a little cold water. Refrigerate for 30 minutes.
• Roll out to 3-4mm thick and use to line a 20cm tart tray.
• Blind bake the pastry case for 10-15 minutes at 180°C (weighed down with pulses or similar)
• Whilst the pastry is baking, fry seom chopped onions and any other vegetables you want in the filling for a few minutes until softened.
• Remove the pastry from the oven and sprinkle a little grated cheese in the base along with the vegetables and fillings.
• Beat the eggs and cream together, season, then pour into the pastry case.
• Top with the remaining grated cheese then bake for 30 minutes at 180°C until golden on top and egg is set.

We had the obligatory blackening bananas hanging around waiting to be 'caked', but I didn't fancy the usual go-to banana cake this time. So, I thought muffins would be a good idea. Somehow I came up with oats and honey; the result was a moist, yet light, incredibly tasty muffin with a hint of coarse oaty texture. Perfect any time of day.

Ingredients:
5oz Butter
4oz Sugar
2 Eggs
2 Bananas
2 tsp Honey
7oz Flour
Handful of Oats

• Cream butter and sugar in a food processor.
• Mash the banana, honey and eggs together in a bowl to make your wet mixture.
• Add to the food processor.
• Quickly combine the oats and flour to the mixture.
• Place into muffin cases, sprinkle a few extra oats on top and bake for 20-25 mins until golden brown and spongy to touch.
• Turn out onto a cooling rack and whilst cooling drizzle a little warmed honey (10 seconds in microwave) on top of each muffin.

(Makes 12)TRhttp://email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-5039139769900038120.post-3419090095413735582011-03-21T13:24:00.010+00:002011-05-20T21:37:49.922+01:00Flapjacks...Butter. Sugar. Oats. Syrup. So simple, yet so good. Flapjacks have always been quite legendary in my family. We tend to know this as 'Dad's Flapjacks' recipe, though I'm not entirely sure why. It could be because Dad likes them just like this or maybe it's his recipe. Best if it remains a mystery.

• Melt butter, sugar and syrup in a large saucepan over a low heat.
• Stir in the oats thoroughly.
• Press into a large tin lined with baking paper.
• Bake for 10-15 minutes at 160°C.
• Cool in the tin, before turning out and cutting into slices.

Notes:
• All sorts can be added to the mixture as you wish. Particularly good is Cornflakes.
• If I use cheap (value) oats I up the quantity to 14oz.
• Do not overcook or they will be dry and hard. Stop cooking as soon as the edges are golden brown, the centre will firm up once it is taken out of the oven.

I discovered these on Eat and Be Happy, another blog I've been reading. I couldn't resist the temptation of peanut butter and chocolate and promptly gave them a go myself. I had to adapt the recipe from cups into grams, and in so doing made a few modifications to the overall process. This included changing the base from a syrupy krispies to classic chocolate krispies base.

These need some refrigeration to set and are best kept in the fridge as the chocolate topping and peanut butter centre are so good when set and fudgey. As an alternative, you could substitute the fudge topping for straightforward chocolate like a caramel shortbread. I think the crackling of a thick chocolate topping as you bite into a square would seriously add to the eating experience.

• Melt the milk chocolate and 1 tbsp syrup. Stir into the rice krispies and press into the bottom of a lined 20 x 20cm tin.
• Set aside to harden.
• Meanwhile, melt 150g dark chocolate and the peanut butter in a pan over a low heat.
• Pour this over the rice krispie mixture and spread evenly. Place in the fridge to cool.
• After an hour of chilling, make the fudge topping.
• Melt the rest of the dark chocolate, the butter and 2 tbsp syrup in a pan over a low heat. Stir in the cocoa powder once melted.
• Allow to cool slightly in the pan for 5 minutes, then pour into the tin and spread over the top.
• Cool for a further hour until set, then turn out and cut into squares.

Notes:
• Makes about 25 squares
• Best kept refrigerated.

These don't need a lot saying about them, it's just a simple lemon cake cut into small pieces.

• Cream the butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
• Beat in the eggs, gradually with a little flour if necessary
• Fold in the flour and 1 lemon's juice.
• Pour into a 20 x 20cm tin and bake at 170°C for 25 minutes.
• Turn out and cool on a rack.
• Meanwhile, mix your icing with the other lemon's juice and the icing sugar to a consistency that will spread easily, but not run off the cake.
• Ice the cooled cake and sprinkle the top with zest from your lemons.
• Cut into 'finger' slices.TRhttp://firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-5039139769900038120.post-66833515942338072712011-02-07T16:00:00.001+00:002011-02-11T09:44:47.985+00:00Chicken & Leek Pasties...I was looking for something different to make for lunch and came across a Hugh Fearnley Whittingstall recipe for these pasties. I didn't follow the recipe as such, but went along with the idea of it and was pleased with the results.

Pastry:
• Blend the flour and butter until they resemble breadcrumbs and bind together with cold water to form a dough.
• Roll the dough out to 5mm thick, fold back into a square, re-roll and repeat for or 5 times. This gives you a slightly flaky pastry.
• Chill the dough for an hour or so and meanwhile make the filling.

Filling:
• Chop the leek and onion and fry gently in some oil.
• Meanwhile, trim and chop the chicken into fairly small pieces that will cook relatively qucikly (1cm cubes); add to the frying pan and cook until beginning to brown.
• Whilst this is going on dice the potatoes and boil separately, until quite soft.
• When both are ready combine in the pan and mix together quite roughly to break up the potatoes and combine all the flavours. Season with salt & pepper.
• Set aside to cool.

Assembly:
• Rollout the pastry to 3-4mm thick and cut out 20-22cm diameter rounds
• Place a heap of the filling on one half of each. Brush some milk or egg around the edge of the circle then fold over and crimp together with your fingers.
• Place on a baking tray, brush with beaten egg and cook at 190°C for 20-25 minutes until golden brown.

Notes:
• Add some chopped smoked bacon to improve flavours.

The Government of Canada supports the Societe de conservation et d'amenagement du bassin de la riviere Chateauguay project
SAINTE-MARTINE, QUEBEC--(Marketwired - Sept. 13, 2016) - For a long time, key actors in the community have been looking for a concrete sustainable way to improve community and recreational infrastructure. The Government of Canada is proud to support projects such as the Société de conservation et d'aménagement du bassin de la rivière Châteauguay (SCABRIC) project, which contribute to the vitality and dynamism of all regions across the country.
Brenda Shanahan, Member of Parliament for Châteauguay-Lacolle, on behalf of the Honourable Navdeep Bains, Minister of Innovation, Science and Economic Development and Minister responsible for CED, announced that SCABRIC was receiving financial assistance in the form of a non-repayable contribution of $107,182 to rehabilitate the existing shoreline infrastructure of the Sentier riverain de la Châteauguay.
Working in partnership with the surrounding municipalities, SCABRIC, a non-profit organization formed in 1993, manages a public access network that includes 11 floating docks and boardwalks, a lookout, 12 interpretative panels and a tourist map located on the banks of the Châteauguay River.
Funding under the Canada 150 Community Infrastructure Program (CIP150) will help SCABRIC carry out a project for improving the floating docks and boardwalks used by pleasure craft, rehabilitating and developing river access sites for the public and installing signage and interpretive panels on the banks of the Châteauguay River.
"Having seen all the on-the-ground work myself, I am delighted with CED's support for SCABRIC, which is undeniably contributing to the dynamism of many municipalities. Its efforts are critical in maintaining a healthy environment that fosters the well-being of all communities on its territory."
Brenda Shanahan, MP for Châteauguay-Lacolle
"The Government of Canada is committed to supporting the projects of organizations such as SCABRIC, which engage and unite our communities. These projects strengthen communities across Canada and stimulate the economy."
The Honourable Navdeep Bains, Minister responsible for CED
"This is a very promising project for the region's recreational tourism development that provides citizens with a network of accessways to the river, from Châteauguay to the border."
Félix Blackburn, Director General, Société de conservation et d'aménagement du bassin de la rivière Châteauguay (SCABRIC)
CED is one of six regional development agencies under the responsibility of the Honourable Navdeep Bains, Minister of Innovation, Science and Economic Development.

This post is NOT intended to call anyone "ignorant". This post is to raise awareness about how uncomfortable people can feel when seemingly harmless things are said and done to them, oftentimes by people who don't mean any harm and don't realize how their actions are being received.
But when we know better, we do better right?
That is the objective of this post and the reason why I'm bringing this to you.
I'm climbing off my soapbox now…
In my "Life of Pie" – 12 Totally Random Things You Never Needed To Know About Me" post, I told you that sometimes people I barely know have gotten into my personal space and have touched my "_____", taking me off guard before I could even react.
In that post, I purposely left it blank so that you could guess. Some of you guessed right and some of you guessed …not right.
Well, as luck would have it, someone who knew exactly what I was referring to in that post forwarded me a real-life example of my #12.
Take a look:
Disclaimer: I have no copyrights to the song and/or video and/or hyperlinks to songs and/or videos and/or gifs above. No copyright infringement intended.
I cringed the moment I saw that outstretched hand…
It boggles my mind why some people think that it's "okay" to cross that personal boundary, physically touch someone they may barely know and even sometimes go so far as to glide their hands over another person.
How would those same individuals like it if someone they barely knew stroked them?
I don't care if the gesture is meant to be a compliment.
Do not touch me without my permission.
Yes, that woman looks amazing at 53. And I'll even let that co-host's words slide this time (because it's an entirely different conversation).
But the touching?
Uhhhh…hell no, no, no.
There are no ifs, ands or buts about it. Don't do it. Not everyone will be as polite as the woman in this video. Recoiling like a snake while giving you my "subway" face has been my go-to move for years now because it's been much more effective than being "polite" by pretending to be okay with it.
Oh…the stories I could share with you but I won't.
As food for thought, I'm leaving you with a link to "21 Racial Microaggressions You Hear On A Daily Basis". If you don't have time to read, the photos speak volumes.
Microaggressions are not limited to "race". There are many that abound related to gender and sexuality too…
Okay, I'm climbing off my soapbox now. My rant is over. 🙂

When it comes to preparing for an interview there are many different things to consider in order to give you the best chance of getting the job, over the coming weeks we will provide various different blogs giving helpful techniques that can be applied to phone, Skype and face to face interviews.
When discussing interviews techniques, the first thing you must consider is preparing accordingly for the interview. There are various steps you should take in order to do this, such as doing background research on the company, thoroughly read the job description, practice practice practice and knowing where to go.
Firstly, background research of the company is vital! This will not only benefit you throughout your interview but will also give you an insight into the company objectives and what they look for in their employees.
You are also preparing yourself for any questions that they could ask you during the interview as they will be no doubt ask you what you have heard about the company? And why did you choose them? These are all opportunities to show that you have done your research.
Now that you have reached the interview stage of your job search I am assuming you have already read the job description and feel that you are well suited to the role, however there is no harm in rereading this and seeing where your skills and qualifications can be related. The job description is there for a reason; your interviewer will be referring back to it throughout the interview and will querying how you can relate it to yourself and any previous experience, be prepared for this! Take note of the skills and qualifications they have listed and find where they correlate to yourself, this is also good practice for selling yourself which is what you should be doing constantly throughout the interview.
Practice is key for any interview; it would be unrealistic to think you could attend any interview without any prior research or practice of questions. A good way of doing this is writing down questions that you feel they could ask, or questions that you feel you would struggle to answer. Typically people will always give generic answers to certain questions, you don't want to do this! You want to be remembered for being different and original, not for saying the same thing as everyone else!
Finally, although this may seem obvious you will be surprised how many people will not plan a route to the interview, don't be this person! There is no worse first impression than that of you turning up late. Plan your route days in advance, even test it out one day to see how long it takes you, give yourself extra time to get there. Any interviewer would rather you turned up early to an interview than be late. You need to remember that your first interview stage is something they will be referring back to when they are making their final decision, you want to make it memorable, for all the right reasons.

DETECTIVES in Warrington are appealing for witnesses after a young man was dragged from a car and slashed across the face during a robbery at Birchwood.
The incident took place on Partridge Close, Birchwood, at 11.10pm on Friday, November 17. Three men approached a white Renault Clio, which was parked in the street, and attacked the two occupants, an 18-year-old woman and a 20-year-old man.
The men demanded money and then dragged the occupants out of the car. The man, who was in the car, was slashed to the face during the incident.
Two of the men then drove off in the white Renault Clio with the third running off down an alleyway at the end of Partridge Close.
Detective Constable Jonathan Carter said: "We are appealing to members of the public to come forward. If anyone was in the area at the time and has seen anything unusual then please get in touch. If anyone has seen this car in the area that evening please contact us on 101, quoting incident number 1120 of 17/11/17. Information can also be passed on anonymously, via Crimestoppers, on 0800 555 111."

We're sitting at our desk working away. I hear a strange noise and we look up at each other.
"What's that noise?" I ask
'It's raining" Mike replies nonchalantly
"It's WHAT?!"
"It's raining."
So, I shove the curtain back and sure enough... it's raining. I did what any girl (or maybe just me) would do in Africa in the middle of summer. (After all, it hasn't rained in months, and I endured a six hour power cut earlier in the day...) I quickly ran out to the back courtyard, and stood in the rain. Even turned my face up to feel the lovely wetness on my head.
Then I looked down at my nice pale pink shirt and I realized that it was not actually raining rain. It was raining mud.
After a few moments of trying to get my head wrapped around the fact that my shirt and probably my face and all the rest of me was now covered in drops of mud... I sheepishly went inside, washed my face and changed my shirt.
So much for a nice refreshing shower...

Synovitis is the swelling or inflammation of the synovial membrane (joint-lining) and it is usually painful when the joint is moved.
Synovitis is disease (commonly found in rheumatoid arthritis) or any injury that causes white blood cells to move from blood stream into synovium. These synovium cells grow and divide abnormally and forms a synovial fluid and releases enzymes which may eventually destroy joint cartilage and bone.
The joint appears swollen and hard lumps called nodules and it is the better indication than tenderness. It may also include hip pain (on one side only), thigh pain (in front or towards the middle of thigh) and low-grade fever (less than 101°Fahrenheit). The release of enzymes from the cell into the joints may cause further pain and irritation. The joints get degenerated if the disease persists for a longer period.
The series of tests used to diagnose synovitis includes
NSAIDS (Nonsteroidal Anti-inflammatory Medications) can be used to reduce the pain. There are specific treatments based upon the patient's response and level of tolerance of any medications. But normal activities can be performed without any danger.
Synovitis heals much faster to conventional treatments. The duration depends upon the synovitis, if it is acute or chronic that causes inflammation or the number of joints involved. If the affected joint is rested properly it may improve within 7-10 days but it may take up to 8 weeks to recover completely. The chronic synovitis medication course will determine the outcome.
Synovitis commonly occurs to athletes who change their direction quickly or run on uneven surface, which are at higher risk for ankle injuries. The fluid in the synovial membrane will provide cushioning effect to large forces that acts on the ankles and the fluid also helps lubricating the joints which allow free movement. This can be reduced by adding a few stretches to your fitness program.
Depending on treatment it ranges from $1000-$38000

Welcome, Shillamus! I think the new pope already "recognized" us. On his second day, he said that unless you pray to Jesus Christ, you pray to Satan. Sorry to dash your hopes.
Ich komme aus der Landeshauptstadt von Thüringen: Erfurt, das liegt genau in der Mitte Deutschlands.
Früher war das ein Teil der 'Deutschen Demokratischen Republik' (GDR).
I come from the state capital of Thuringia Erfurt, which is exactly in the middle of Germany.
It used to be a part of the "German Democratic Republic" (GDR).
Athens, Georgia, USA here!
"everyone around the world! come on!" kool & the gang
Singapore!! (no! we are not part of china!)
Napa, California.... opposites world, full of narcissistic liberals and Republicans who vote democrat.
Welcome, neighbor, to A/N.
I'm in Yountville.
Hey Buzz, I lived in Napa for several years. Nice climate for growing things.
Just got here myself. Lots of liberal Republicans, conservative Democrats, and Hispanics. The former two are either retired or making money in the wine industry. The latter group is the labor force. Its nice with all the activities and restaurants and the tourists never stop.
Latinos, dear, Latinos. The adjective "Hispanic" is wrongly applied to the Spanish speaking people of Latin America....and we get offended when addressed as such.
Mentor (that's near Cleveland) Ohio :) There are churches everywhere around here, and people just assume that you're religious (Christian) without ever asking...but it could be worse...at least it's not the bible belt! lol
You're right. I'm in the bible belt and it's much worse.

I was not particularly impressed by this. The majority of the tips are common sense, really. There is no real new information. That said, the information is presented well and the tips are grouped into self-explanatory sections.
Although this proposes to be for all women, it is definitely written by a WASP for other WASPs, which is actually quite odd, considering that they probably already know it all. The author obviously has no clue about life outside upper middle class New York.
This one get six stars for at least organizing all the information in a single volume. It may be helpful to some people, but most of the fixes are moderately to extremely expensive (at least $50).
Rating: ★★★★★★☆☆☆☆

ABUJA (Reuters) - The Islamist militant group Boko Haram claimed responsibility on Monday for the abduction of more than 200 schoolgirls during a raid in the village of Chibok in northeast Nigeria last month, the French news agency AFP reported, citing a video it had obtained.
"I abducted your girls," Boko Haram leader Abubakar Shekau said in the video, according to AFP. It did not immediately give further details.

In a report for Politico Magazine, Jack Shafer and Tucker Doherty analyzed the geographical data of where journalists work and determined that the so-called liberal "media bubble" is even worse than suspected.
The liberal bubble has only grown worse as the news business has transition from print media to online publications. As Shafer and Doherty report, "Today, 73 percent of all internet publishing jobs are concentrated in either the Boston-New York-Washington-Richmond corridor or the West Coast crescent that runs from Seattle to San Diego and on to Phoenix."
From Politico Magazine:
As the votes streamed in on election night, evidence that the country had further cleaved into two Americas became palpable. With few exceptions, Clinton ran the table in urban America, while Trump ran it in the ruralities. And as you might suspect, Clinton dominated where internet publishing jobs abound. Nearly 90 percent of all internet publishing employees work in a county where Clinton won, and 75 percent of them work in a county that she won by more than 30 percentage points. When you add in the shrinking number of newspaper jobs, 72 percent of all internet publishing or newspaper employees work in a county that Clinton won. By this measure, of course, Clinton was the national media's candidate.
Resist—if you can—the conservative reflex to absorb this data and conclude that the media deliberately twists the news in favor of Democrats. Instead, take it the way a social scientist would take it: The people who report, edit, produce and publish news can't help being affected—deeply affected—by the environment around them. Former New York Times public editor Daniel Okrent got at this when he analyzed the decidedly liberal bent of his newspaper's staff in a 2004 column that rewards rereading today. The "heart, mind, and habits" of the Times, he wrote, cannot be divorced from the ethos of the cosmopolitan city where it is produced. On such subjects as abortion, gay rights, gun control and environmental regulation, the Times' news reporting is a pretty good reflection of its region's dominant predisposition. And yes, a Times-ian ethos flourishes in all of internet publishing's major cities—Los Angeles, New York, Boston, Seattle, San Francisco and Washington. The Times thinks of itself as a centrist national newspaper, but it's more accurate to say its politics are perfectly centered on the slices of America that look and think the most like Manhattan.
Something akin to the Times ethos thrives in most major national newsrooms found on the Clinton coasts—CNN, CBS, the Washington Post, BuzzFeed, Politico and the rest. Their reporters, an admirable lot, can parachute into Appalachia or the rural Midwest on a monthly basis and still not shake their provincial sensibilities: Reporters tote their bubbles with them.
In a sense, the media bubble reflects an established truth about America: The places with money get served better than the places without. People in big media cities aren't just more liberal, they're also richer: Half of all newspaper and internet publishing employees work in counties where the median household income is greater than $61,000—$7,000 more than the national median. Commercial media tend to cluster where most of the GDP is created, and that's the coasts. Perhaps this is what Bannon is hollering about when he denounces the "corporatist, global media," as he did in February at the Conservative Political Action Conference. If current trends continue—and it's safe to predict they will—national media will continue to expand and concentrate on the coasts, while local and regional media contract.
