Officials must own up to cross-leasing
I am outraged at the audacious request by the Federation of Civil Service Unions for an amnesty for those in public service who engaged in cross-leasing of flats ("Call for amnesty over flat leasing", June 25). The reason given for the amnesty request was to allay the worries of those who earlier engaged in cheating on their housing allowance and are now at senior government level.
Let me get this straight: the union wants to protect the scheming, cheating civil servants, who may suffer the anxiety of not knowing if they may be next to be asked to answer for their sins.
Let's remember that people who were given the housing allowance earned above-average salaries and housing was meant to be a bonus, a sweetener, that was specifically given with a restriction of no personal gain.
That was not enough for those who cross-leased. They devised a way to personally gain beyond just accepting rent-free flats. Greed got the better of those civil servants and they should be held responsible.
As we now know, it was a widely used scheme and many now worry about their future - and so they should.
One way to allay their anxiety is to come clean; otherwise their punishment will be sleepless nights, which is natural justice.
I know of people who did not play the system, and there must have been many more who behaved above board and followed the rules - who did the right thing.
It would be wrong to give an amnesty to those who chose to conceal their identities in order to pocket the allowance.
Marian Schneps, Wan Chai
Surveillance that is all for a good cause
Eric Sommer in Beijing is naive when he excoriates the US for its spying activities ("US spy agency should face charges", July 4).
The Americans' agencies will do what they were set up to do.
As any moron knows, it is not just the CIA, but MI5 which uses surveillance around the planet to police everything from terrorists to money launderers to human traffickers.
Why do so few people acknowledge this? It's like the way they forget that people like Steve Jobs made it possible for every "Tom, Dong and Mei Li" to access any information they want.
So if that giant vacuum cleaner in the sky (as some wag has labelled it) should get into people's personal bank accounts and silly Facebook chit-chat, there's no need to descend into paranoia.
It's all for a good cause, I say, so grin and bear it. Most importantly, grow up.
Beatriz Taylor, Cheung Chau
Colonial rule did bring some benefits
Peter Wei asked why people did not gripe against colonial rule ("Hongkongers should be more positive", July 2).
People can recall the good old days under colonial rule. A university graduate was able to save up for a down payment on a flat in about three years. Today it is an impossible dream.
Why would people criticise the lack of freedom under colonial rule? What do they expect? Hong Kong was a colony. It was ruled by foreigners. If I were to live under oppression I would rather it was foreign. It hurts more to be oppressed by my own race.
We were lucky because this colonial rule your correspondent appears to dislike shielded us from the oppressive regime across the border and the catastrophes of the Great Leap Forward and the Cultural Revolution. Thousands lost their lives fleeing to the colony. Why?
It is hypocritical of politicians to say hard work and the entrepreneurial spirit of its people made Hong Kong an economic miracle without crediting the political umbrella the British provided. Ironically, some of their parents fled to the colony in 1949 to preserve their affluence.
Now we have "one country, two systems". Of course it is unique; no other country has it. I would ask why mainlanders still want to move to this former colony, that is, the other part of the "two systems".
I never found John F. Kennedy's famous words ("ask what you can do for your country") inspiring, not as a Chinese person anyway. During their nation's short history, Americans have been well fed. So JFK could inspire with those words. During the 4,000 years of Chinese history we have seen turmoil and catastrophe.
Which Chinese emperor could justifiably say what JFK said? What was there to inspire his subjects?
Patriotism is a conceptual belief; hunger is real. A political system, dictatorship or democracy, which feeds its people well is the system people will embrace.
Ever wonder why tens of millions of Chinese live overseas? Hongkongers have reasons to fear rule under China.
Unless you are connected to the privileged and the authorities, you won't have a level playing field to reap the economic benefits in society.
When all three chief executives have turned a deaf ear to the people's voices, citizens take to the streets so Beijing can hear them. It is the positive thing to do.
Tony Yuen, Mid-Levels
Citizens put livelihood issues first
I would like to ask the leader of the Occupy Central movement, Benny Tai Yiu-ting, if he sees universal suffrage as the only thing that matters in Hong Kong.
I am just an ordinary citizen and I see the top priority as being people's livelihood issues. It is not easy to live in Hong Kong nowadays. Like other Hongkongers, I have to work to earn my keep.
As a Christian, I read a verse in Micah 6:8 "He has showed you, O man, what is good. And what does the Lord require of you?"
I do not think Occupy Central is good for Hongkongers.
Lai Yau, Fanling
Slap in the face for auxiliary police officers
As a retiring auxiliary police officer, I really feel disheartened, disgruntled and humiliated to learn that not even one auxiliary was awarded a Meritorious Service Medal for the disciplined services in this year's honours list.
Perhaps it is true that auxiliary police are no longer valued following reforms in 1999.
If that is the case, I suggest the Hong Kong Auxiliary Police be disbanded as soon as possible so that the auxiliaries can at least keep some honour for their contributions in the past.
Lawrence Choi, Tuen Mun
Bad driving makes road dangerous
I read with dismay but without surprise the report ("Bus driver killed, 37 injured in Lantau crash", July 2) on the three-vehicle crash on the North Lantau Highway on July 1 with the resulting death and injuries.
As a resident of South Lantau, I often drive along that stretch of road and am constantly appalled by the driving standards of many of the motorists. The main offenders are those who sit in the middle or fast lanes even when not overtaking.
This also prompts other motorists to overtake on the inside, which is extremely dangerous, as the driver of the car being "undertaken" may not realise it and cause a collision when he or she moves into the left-hand lane.
Many of the vehicles are travelling far in excess of the 110km/h speed limit but I have never seen any of the speed cameras flash when passed by speeding vehicles.
Britain recently introduced a system whereby fixed penalty notices can be issued by the police to "tailgaters", and those that hog the middle or fast lanes, without having to take them to court.
I suggest a similar system be imposed in Hong Kong, together with more rigorous enforcement of speeding offences by the police, before more lives are lost.
Rosamund Barker, Lantau
Starvation and poverty cannot be ignored
The film currently showing in Hong Kong, World War Z, which has an apocalyptic theme of a zombie pandemic, may seem to be very much the stuff of fiction.
However, I think there are some countries in the world, which, because of the way some of their citizens are suffering, face severe social dislocation. There have even been reports of cannibalism where populations are suffering severe starvation.
North Korea is an example. Under Kim Jong-il's reign, many ordinary citizens were gripped by periods of famine.
The government ensured its army was fed while the rest of the population starved. Reports of starvation continue to leak out with the country now run by Kim's son, Kim Jong-un. The people of North Korea have suffered a great deal in the name of communism. There have been claims, in newspapers in the West and by newswire agencies, of instances of cannibalism. While those are just claims, the fact of the matter is that in some countries in Asia and Africa, millions of people are living in grinding poverty.
If the huge disparity between rich and poor is ignored in these nations, then sooner or later the poor will rise up in a revolt that could be like a volcanic eruption.
Conan Lee Chung-man, Tai Kok Tsui

Apparently, I'm in the minority since, not only has Fluffernutter long been a staple of playgrounds, after-school snacks, college dorms and diners, it even has its on National Holiday.
A Fluffernutter is the ingenious creation of the Durkee-Mower, Inc., who, in an effort to push their Fluff confection, chose to challenge the long standing companion of peanut butter, jelly, by replacing it with Fluff. Hopefully, giving sweet-and-salty sandwich lovers another option. The result? Success!
Since 1961 this sticky combination of, corn syrup, sugar syrup, dried egg whites and vanillin, has been satisfying snack cravings, as well as becoming a formidable competitor to the traditional PB&J.

Want to know where you can find Fluffernutter in your home town? Click on the Fluff Finder and find your state. Or, you can order it online here. Still can't get your hands on Fluff fast enough? Make it yourself with this recipe: Homemade Marshmallow Fluff.
If you are feeling adventurous and would like to find out other ways to enjoy the airy goodness of Fluff, check out the online recipe book and whip up your own favorite Fluff concoction.
Or, you can just sing along to this 1960's jingle celebrating the sticky sweet goodness of Fluffernutter.

BP is extremely proud to be a Corporate Friend of the Superhero Series. The Superhero Tri is the UK's one and only disability sport event for the Everyday Superhero and their friends and family
As a corporate friend BP will be entering 3 teams for this inspirational event. The teams, made up of three people, will each take on one stage of the Superhero Tri challenge – a swim, a bike ride or a run/push in a choice of two distances. To enter each team must have at least one person who considers themselves to have a disability (any disability counts) per team.
Between 2008 - 2016 BP has been a proud partner of the British Paralympic Association. We were there at London 2012 to cheer on the remarkable performances by ParalympicsGB and we continued our support for them through to Rio. This year we are also proud partners of International Paralympic Athletics Championships in London.
BP's support for Superheros therefore builds on our support for disability in sports with the aim of encouraging Diversity and Inclusion in society and in schools.
Sophia Warner Superhero Series founder, says "The idea is simple. To create fun, gutsy events where people with disabilities call the shots and don't have to worry about cut-off times or equipment restrictions. If you need flippers or floats in the water, or want to use your powered wheelchair we make it possible."
"For the first event I've chosen triathlon challenges because swimming, cycling and running are the three most popular disability sports. But I don't want people to be put off by the word 'triathlon'. You can do a whole triathlon if you wish, but you can also choose to do just one or two stages as a relay with disabled and non-disabled family and friends."
"I know first-hand what a hugely positive impact sport can have on a person's life and I believe everyone should have the chance to enjoy momentous and often life-changing events."
About the event
The event takes place on August 19 2017 at Dorney Lake, near Windsor, set in 450 acres of spectacular parkland. The race is just part of a full day of entertainment and refreshments for Superheroes, Sidekicks and spectators big and small. The day is being broadcast on Channel 4 and there are a whole host of Celebrities taking part including Adam Hills, Kadeena Cox and many more. Bring your whole family down for a great day out and cheer everyone over the line. Parking is free of charge and there will be plenty to see and do.

Author has written 1 story for Digimon.
Hiya! DigitalPunkmonkey here!
I like to ramble, alot, and talk, alot. I'm a Gemini you see xD Which also means that I havea billion ideas in my head at all times, so writing them out seems to be a good idea haha. Most of my energy goes towards drawing though:
Check out my art H'nah!
I seem to not be able to think of real ideas for fanfics, but once I DO have an idea, I have a billion ways to go about it! I have a way with words (or so my english teachers say) and I've always had a high level of vocabulary and grammer and such things to do with english, so I love to write (and I hate it when people make stupid mistakes. Spelling I can understand (for example, if you see me write "Teh" or "Indeef" they're on purpose actually), unless it's horrible.) Netspeak drives me NUTS:
"lYkE oMg i aM sO cOol wHen i rItE lyKe dIs lYke omG!11!11!"
URG I HATE THAT! T_T if you write like that I'm liable to shoot you. Take two seconds and write it PROPERLY geez!
Anyways, I registered to this site in July 2005, but I've been reading fics from it for over a year before that. I've been wanting to write my own fics for a long time but I never got around to it, and now I finally have some things going for once. I love anime, especially Digimon; as well as my newfound love Naruto (no, I don't like the CHARACTER but I like the show xD) I grew up playing Zelda, started when I was 5 and have loved it ever since. And Digimon Tamers helped me through a really hard time in my life, so maybe that's why I love it so much.
I guess the music I like stays the same too, I love rock, and most of its sub-genres. I like the heavier punk stuff, although I hate labeling things. I love pretty much anything with awesome electric guitar -heart- and I couldn't care less about the lyrics. To me, music is MUSIC, not the lyrics. Which is probably a huge reason I hate rap, because all it is is words to a beat -.- And don't try to tell me rap has music! I'm not saying it sucks, I'm saying I don't like it -.-
Bands I like:
Billy Talent (Favorite band of all time!)
Anime I like (TV and Movies):
Digimon (Season three in particular, I wish it was still going ._.)
I also watch any show I can catch on Anime Day (Fridays where they show a bunch of anime on YTV) so that includes One Piece, Zatch Bell, I don't mind Inuyasha but it's not a favorite, I occasionally watch Dragonball (Z, GT, whatever's on)...
Video Games that I love:
Zelda: (In order of fave to least fave, these are only ones I have played. I don't NOT like any of them though!) Ocarina of Time; Majora's Mask; WindWaker; Oracle of Ages; Four Swords. I remember loving the original but I can't remember much of it since I was 5 when I first played it! (Which means I've been playing Zelda for 10 years cause I'm 15 now! w00tness!)
Mario: Paper Mario (1 & 2); Super Mario 64; Super Mario Sunshine; Mario Party (all that I've played) Mario & Luigi... yeah like all the Mario games I've played (which is like 89732476 billion)
Sphinx and the Cursed Mummy (Yay! Egyptian stuff rules!)
Hmm.. there are probably alot more I just can't think right now >_>;;;
So yeah that's me, I'll probably add stuff as time goes on and stuff. Email me if you want to chat about stuff, or even do a fic with me. Just because you want towrite one with me doesn't mean I'll do it,but I always love hearing other writer's ideas and such :3I'm already working on a main Digimon fic so I don't think I'd be open to starting another one at the moment, but I might be ok with doing a Naruto one (even though I'm working on one for that too XD).
Bah I'm back to rambling! Just drop me a line if you're interested XD
GAHHHH! They banned Digimon Surreal Life because it was in script form (which it said nothing about being wrong when I read the rules >_>) And so I had to put it on my site for our other fanfiction (which we'll be submitting here in a few months) which had parts cut out and we needed to have a place to put those, so ja click here! And PLEASE tell other people about it if you liked it, since they can't read it on here anymore.

3 days late for my period and did a test yesterday with the faintest line. Just want others opinions Looks positive to me
29/03/2016 at 16:14
I can see a faint line too. I would try a first response test
31/03/2016 at 10:41
Well, hard to say. I think you should wait a little and do the test again.
31/03/2016 at 14:15
Did this one today I can see a line for definite on this one. Thanks everyone
15/06/2016 at 15:38

15/06/2016 at 17:09
I can see it. That's a good sign. How far from af are you?

15/06/2016 at 18:47
That test doesn't look too reliable. Try a first response with first morning urine
15/06/2016 at 19:59
Chalf I zoomed in on your test it looks like a evap line. I second meme re test with first response and FMU x
15/06/2016 at 20:10

Did another this evening sorry which was negative the faint line in the picture was from morning sample
15/06/2016 at 20:29
The level of HCG may not be high enough yet to show on a test that isn't very sensitive and not using FMU. I would still say do first response with FMU. Good luck x
15/06/2016 at 20:33
Thankyou Emmy

The White House and the Huffington Post are using the occasion of the 50th anniversary of the March on Washington to cooperate on a blog. Senior White House and cabinet officials, including attorney general Eric Holder, will contribute to a Huffington Post page created to mark the occasion.
The Huffington Post is including a disclaimer for all posts authored by administration officials as well as a link to the website's March on Washington anniversary page; the disclaimer reads, "This blog post is part of a series produced by the Obama Administration, in recognition of the 50th anniversary of the historic March on Washington."
President Obama on Wednesday will speak on the 50th anniversary of the march on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial on Wednesday.
Holder wrote the inaugural entry in the Huffington Post series over the weekend. Titled "50 Years Later, Our March Goes On," he argued that the fight for civil rights is not over and that our efforts to bring about equality "must go on until every action we take reflects our values and that which is best about us."

Or you we will NOT have much to wake up to.......soon you will understand that mathematically, based on current policies, conditons MUST get worse....MUCH WORSE.
When the Fed encourages our families, businesses, cities, counties, schools, hospitals, universities, and states to over leverage on easy terms.....and then the Fed changes the bankruptcy laws, raises interest rates, and cuts off credit......our domestic consumption based economy will shut down to where there is practically no economy left.
It is amazing that Wall Street bankers are basking in billions of taxpayer bonuses when they should be just as insolvent as the homeowners they are foreclosing on........AND THE CITIZENS BEND OVER AND REMAIN SILENT AND THINK THAT IS OK.
We have become a nation of sheep where we have no problem being scanned naked while the politicians who serve us fly on private jets and we say nothing.
The local hospital where I live is turning away poor patients for the first time yet we send billions overseas for who knows what????
Almost everything you own is simply valued based on debt....and now practially everything in our economy is levered so high that it will impossible to collectively service due to the Fed pulling private credit, raising interest rates and paying practically nothing on savings.
Our nation is going broke while the bankers are getting rich.........but it is OK.....we go to war for one reason......our kids die.......and yet when we find out the reasong was a lie......we remain silent.
We lost about 25,000,000 jobs last year....we are likley to lose much more this year. Our nation is simply shutting down and much of what we do is being outsourced.
It is not really a big deal....some call it progress. If you think about it, why should you earn so much when Wall Street can take your job and do it overseas for a fraction of the cost.
Personally, I think it is OK...but when all your costs remain high and your income evaporates......you will feel the consequences. You think bankers should get free money and you pay high rates??? Benny the B knows exactly what he is doing....he knows conditions are getting worse....much worse........as we simply sit back watch his buddies drain our pension and retirement funds dry.
Ask yourself.....what self respectiing politician would bail out bankers and let those same insolvent bankers tighten credit, raise interest rates and fees, and foreclose on his or her constituents?
Here is just a small sample of our fellow citizens who lost jobs today and businesses that closed forever.....while you are being told conditions are getting better. When enough citizens are unemployed...we as a nation will be mathematically unable to support our politicians.....guess what they are going to do to you then when they owe you so much in entitlements........

Alstry, You are a true Patriot. Thank you for keeping us well informed. None of this information is found on the mainstream media. You have made the majority of us aware of the true status of our economy. Keep up the good work. We are listening!!!
If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issue of their currency, first by inflation, then by deflation, the banks…will deprive the people of all property until their children wake-up homeless on the continent their fathers conquered…. The issuing power should be taken from the banks and restored to the people, to whom it properly belongs. – Thomas Jefferson (1809)
America... Private Banks( Federal Reserve) already control the issuance of our currency. We are now waking up homeless on the continent their fathers conquered... What will we do about it!!!
Alstry, didn't you get the memo? The government has now saved or created 2 million jobs, lol. What a joke, that term has no meaning.
At this point how could we ever repay our debt without inflating our currency? Even when to we come to that point, there is no effort to curtail govt spending.
Alstry-as i watch the news channels tell us unemployment is holding at 10% i wonder how dumb they think we are. so many people have dropped from the unemployment ranks that the numbers are not even close. i know of no one who has paid their bills on time getting any kinds of benefits from any banks or our government. i know countless people in the past 18 months that have watched their businesses close as things get outsourced & have not had any interviews after they lose their jobs they have spent 20 years doing plus losing all the benefits they thought they had when they agreed to work for this company. we are printing so much money that DHL raised my wifes company shipping costs overseas from $60.00 per parcel in 2009 to $110.00 in 2010. i feel that everyone in america is just waiting for a government miracle that will make everyting better-when they have already sold our souls to the highest foreign bidder. traderpat9
I doubt there will be any miracle........
Just decreasing the workforce by 8% leaves 12,000,000 Americans who are not working anymore not counted as unemployed.
If they were counted, which they should be, the reported unemployment number would be about 20%.

Someone during general conference said this. I think he was quoting President Monson, and I think the actual quote is "The future is as bright as your faith."
The actual quote–in my limited experience–is 100% wrong. It adds to the confusion of hope and faith (which are separate and individual) without really helping the hearer understand what is meant.
Faith is necessary, of course. But if the future is to be bright, faith does not provide the light. It provides the why, not the means.
Hope provides the light. When languishing in darkness, faith can exist (for me it always did), but I was completely without hope. I had no light because I had no hope. Faith provided cognitive understanding of what God could do, but it provided no expectation that He would.

The Philadelphia Flyers may not lead the NHL in wins, goals, hits, or anything else hockey-related, but they do currently sit atop the league standings in the highly coveted "intra-locker room sex scandal category" – jumping the Edmonton Oilers after the reported Mike Comrie/Tiger Woods romance was proven to be a rumor made up by a jealous Ales Hemsky.
Just days after the Flyers fell to the bottom of a division that includes the New York Islanders, a story broke about an alleged affair between Flyers star Jeff Carter and the wife of a less talented teammate (Scott Hartnell).
Apparently, once Hartnell found out that he was being cuckolded by his starting center, the team began a losing streak that now has them safely out of the playoff race – which means they'll have plenty of time to sort this out while other teams who sleep with random women and Jessica Simpson are fighting for the Stanley Cup.
Quite frankly, this is shocking! The minute the Flyers brought in Chris Pronger (whose wife allegedly made him demand a trade after he knocked up a local television reporter), I immediately thought "this is totally the Flyers year."
(In the spirit of fair and balanced coverage, everyone involved is denying the report despite various inside sources claiming otherwise.)

Tendulkar, Ponting and fantasy cricket
One of the major achievements of the Indian Premier League has been the coming together of legends, operating alongside each other, putting their experience and intelligence and expertise and immense cricketing knowledge to maximum use.
In an era gone by, long before satellite television came to become an integral part of our lives and long before the internet provided us unlimited access to information, images and videos, the favourite pastime for us cricket lovers was to put together a World XI. A Dream Team, if you like.
With only newspaper and magazine to access both the written word and still photographs, it was easy to let the mind wander and imagine what it was like, watching Barry Richards and Gary Sobers bat alongside each other. English county cricket, at one time considered the finishing school for international cricketers, threw up fascinating and unlikely team-mates. There was Imran Khan and Garth le Roux and Clive Rice at Sussex, Ian Botham and Martin Crowe and Viv Richards at Somerset, Gordon Greenidge and Barry Richards at Hampshire.... Just to listen to their exploits on BBC's Saturday Sports Special, anchored brilliantly by the incomparable Paddy Feeny, was an absolute treat. Saturday nights haven't quite been the same since.
Today, international superstars rubbing shoulders with each other, modern greats from different countries playing for the same footballing club, have become commonplace. Commonplace, because every weekend - and on several weekdays - during the European footballing season, live pictures are beamed from England and Spain, from Italy and Germany and France. Wayne Rooney and Robin van Persie testing their skills against the array of superstars at Manchester City, Lionel Messi and Xavi and Iniesta going shoulder to shoulder with Cristiano Ronaldo and Mesut Ozil and Gonzalo Higuain - these no longer boggle the mind.
But Sachin Tendulkar and Ricky Ponting opening the batting for the same team? Now, that is something else.
One of the major achievements of the Indian Premier League has been the coming together of legends, operating alongside each other, putting their experience and intelligence and expertise and immense cricketing knowledge to maximum use in a bid to justify the millions of dollars spent by franchise owners in search of the proverbial pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. That's how Shane Warne and Graeme Smith have played with each other, Muttiah Muralitharan and Daniel Vettori found themselves in the same team, Chris Gayle and AB de Villiers turn out for the same franchise, Tendulkar and Sanath Jayasuriya strode out to set a target or chase one down.
In the era of just newspapers and magazines, this would have been fascinating. Jayasuriya and Tendulkar together? One, a left-hand destroyer of bowling attacks, a veritable powerhouse who in many ways redefined the art of opening the batting without being apologetic about it, who cocked a snook at the purists and managed a Test triple hundred with his unorthodox and risk-filled approach. The other, a right-hand connoisseur's delight, as correct and orthodox - high left elbow et al - as they come, a picture of composure and control but tightly wound up like a coiled spring ready to jump to life.
Somehow, the live picture has taken the romance out of it all. But hey, no one is complaining.
How else would we have seen the little exchanges, the respectful glances, the nods and silent communication through the eyes between two of the greatest batsmen of their generation, indeed of all time? How else would we have seen Ponting thumping Tendulkar's fist in appreciation when the little man got inside the line of the ball and whip-pulled Jaidev Unadkat to fine leg? How else would we have seen Tendulkar haring down the track in appreciation when Ponting, advancing down the track, was good enough to still flat-bat Dan Christian wide of long-on.
Sitting in the dug-out, another legend of the modern era, Anil Kumble, nodded and clapped in delight. Kumble, president of the Karnataka State Cricket Association, former captain and mentor of Royal Challengers Bangalore, now in the other camp, rooting for Mumbai Indians to overcome his one-time franchise, at the Chinnaswamy Stadium where he cut his teeth as a cricketer. With his great mate and spin twin Muralitharan in the opposition camp. You will travel a million miles, and not see anything like it again. Or, then again, you might see it at the same place, on the same night.
Shortly after Tendulkar had been run out, shortly after Ponting had been stumped, the camera panned to the Mumbai Indians dug-out. Sitting shoulder to shoulder, tension etched on their faces, were Ponting and Harbhajan Singh, two central figures during the unsavoury episode in Sydney five years ago. Had anyone said then that Ponting would be Harbhajan's captain, and that two other key Sydney figures - Tendulkar and Kumble - would be a part of the same set-up, he would have earned a swift and free passage to a psychiatrist. And particularly so if he had suggested that before Ponting joined the team, Harbhajan, Tendulkar and Andrew Symonds, whose alleged abuse by Harbhajan catalysed the events that threatened the very fabric of the sport, would be team-mates and, to an extent, perhaps even go on to become friends.
But I digress. Ponting and Tendulkar. Names that roll easily off the tongue, as they should considering that between them, across all formats, they have 61,756 runs and 171 hundreds in international cricket. Batting together competitively for the first time, it was obvious that there was a little tentativeness in calling - not in running between the wickets, mind you, with both men nudging 40 running with a purpose and an alacrity that would have put a 20-year-old to shame. There was the one moment when Ponting played the ball to deep cover and was always thinking three. Tendulkar started off thinking three, downsized it to two midway through the first run. As Ponting hared down for a third, Tendulkar screamed out a loud no and put his right hand up. Ponting put on the brakes, turned around and retreated to the safety of his ground, then looked up at his partner, a slightly irritated look to start with that quickly transformed into a quizzical enquiry once he made eye contact with Tendulkar. Tendulkar shrugged, walked down the pitch for a word, gloves were punched, all was well, no hard feelings, no damage done.
In their first outing together, the two legends put on a half-century stand. It wasn't enough to see Mumbai home, but it was enough to set off the inevitable question: Is Ponting-Tendulkar the best opening pair in IPL VI? On air, Ian Bishop asked for a definition of 'best'. And some of the other pairs were bandied about - Mike Hussey and Murali Vijay for Chennai Super Kings, David Warner and Virender Sehwag for Delhi Daredevils, Chris Gayle and Tillakaratne Dilshan for Royal Challengers.
Ponting and Tendulkar may not be the best anymore, not with Father Time having come a calling, but they generate the kind of awe and respect and reverence that is anything but commonplace. Warner and Sehwag, Gayle and Dilshan, they might evoke exhilaration and excitement with their brutal treatment of the cricket ball, but for style, class, grace, elegance and sheer presence, give me Ponting-Tendulkar anytime. And forget about everything else.

Rumours are doing the rounds that actor Shahid Kapoor has apparently recommended his rumoured girlfriend Bipasha Basu's name to play female lead for the remake of Hollywood film Knight and Day.
Few eyewitnesses informed a leading daily that recently Shahid and Bips were spotted at a coffee shop in Mumbai along with filmmaker Siddharth Anand and his wife. The reports suggest that the foursome were heard discussing a film script.
Earlier, the buzz was rife that either Priyanka Chopra or Deepika Padukone might play the lead role in the film. But, now it looks like Bipasha might just grab the golden opportunity.
Knight and Day remake will be directed by Siddharth Raj Anand. Sources also informed that Shahid and Bipasha were dating sometime back, but remained friends even after they broke up. Hence, Shahid has strongly recommended Bipasha's name to Siddharth for the film.

There's been quite a lot of noise made about the events and scale of Game of Thrones season six, which is set to premiere on HBO in just a few short weeks. Several of the series' cast members have called it the best season of the series yet, and as it moves further and further past what's already known from George R. R. Martin's novels, the unpredictability factor of the series is only going to increase tenfold moving forward.
The sixth season is set to be one of the show's final outings though, with only an announced seventh and eighth seasons to follow afterwards before Thrones finally reaches it's highly-theorized ending. It looks like fans might have to expect even less of Thrones following the upcoming sixth season though, according to some new comments from showrunners David Benioff and D.B. Weiss.
While recently speaking with Variety, the two showrunners revealed that they believe there will only be thirteen more episodes to follow the ten in season six, giving season seven an appropriate seven episodes, and the eighth season only six.
"I think we're down to our final 13 episodes after this season. We're heading into the final lap. That's the guess, though nothing is yet set in stone, but that's what we're looking at."
Now the report is quick to mention that none of this has been made official, and since Benioff and Weiss are only just entering into their outlines and plans for the final two seasons, it's possible that number may change, though HBO did confirm that the final two seasons may end up being shorter than the previous six, which were all comprised of ten episodes each.
This is interesting because it means that the progress made in season six must be even greater than we had thought, considering how much Martin himself still has yet to write in the novels, before he even comes close to reaching the story's conclusion. However, Benioff and Weiss have both been very adamant over the past few years in making sure that the show's quality never dips drastically, and if that means only twenty-three more episodes of Thrones (counting season six) left, then I guess that'll have to do.
The sixth season of Game of Thrones will premiere on HBO on April 24th.

Hi, and welcome to the 1-800-NO-THANKYOU hotline!
Press 1 if you are an old man in Starbucks. Press 2 if you look like a corrupted senator. Press 3 if you think women who wear makeup are lying. Press 4 for all of the above.
Hello, you have been given this number because (automated recording: "Tiana Byers") did not wish to speak to you and felt threatened by your persistence and inability to understand no as not a request, but a demand. No can be communicated through body language (see: back turned away from you, disinterest in making eye contact, arms crossed over chest in case breast laser guns cannot be controlled and fire off at random), or through verbal communication. If you heard "no, no thank you, I have a boyfriend, I have a husband, I'm gay," or "I would rather have a tarantula lay eggs in my ears," then you can rest assured, she does not want to talk to you any longer.
I understand that, by virtue of standing in the same dimensional plane as you, Tiana Byers must be available for your visual and/or physical consumption. If it were possible, she would have converted her molecules into a viscous fluid and slid down the drain to avoid you, or animorph into a giant, reptilian nightmare and digest you in one fell bite. Sadly, as a meager human woman, her only option was to stand there, and a) wait for her latte, trapped behind you in line, b) have the audacity to buy groceries, or c) exist.
If you take this message personally, I am happy to inform you that we sincerely do not care. Your emotional well-being is not our responsibility. Please read a couple of magazines, take a hot bath, eat 4 almonds and think about how your predatory behavior makes women wish they had super human strength so they could smash you and turn your rib cage into an accordion.
We recommended you never speak to women again, or at the very least, watch the airport scene from Love Actually until your eyes disintegrate and your entire body decomposes into a heap of khaki pants, New Balance shoes, poorly spelled Instagram DM's and "What are you wearing right now ;)" text messages.
Thank you – good bye!

An Easy Coffee Creamer Made With Almond Milk
For many, a cup of black coffee is just not in the cards—a splash of milk or creamer is essential to toning down the heat and acidity of fresh pour of the caffeinated drink. If dairy is out for you, you don't have to settle for simple soy or nut milk. Today, author and food blogger Claire Thomas of The Kitchy Kitchen is sharing her easy almond milk creamer recipe. "The almond butter and coconut butter add a wonderful creaminess and mouthfeel," she says. "If you want it thinner, simply add more water."
Read on for the recipe.
NOTE: Makes 3 cups
1 1/2 cups raw almonds, preferably organic
2 cups water, plus more for soaking
1 vanilla bean, split and scraped
2 Medjool dates, pitted and chopped
1 pinch of sea salt
1 tbsp. almond butter
1 tbsp. coconut butter
Place the almonds in a bowl and cover with about an inch of water. They will plump as they absorb water. Let stand, uncovered, overnight, or up to 2 days (past that, they will start to ferment). The longer the almonds soak, the creamier the almond milk.
Drain the almonds from their soaking water and rinse them thoroughly under cool running water.
Combine the almonds, vanilla seeds, dates, pinch of salt, almond butter, coconut butter, and water in a blender. Blend at the highest speed for 2 minutes, until the almonds are a very fine meal and the liquid is opaque.
Line the strainer with cheese cloth and place over a bowl. Pour the almond mixture into the strainer. Press all the almond milk from the almond meal. Gather the nut bag or cheese cloth around the almond meal and twist close. Squeeze and press with clean hands to extract as much almond milk as possible. If you want a thicker almond milk, you can add some of the almond meal back into the liquid.
Refrigerate almond milk. Store the almond milk in sealed containers in the fridge for up to two days. It will separate, so shake before drinking. Enjoy!

Mindanaw Travelogue II
Our decision to travel via the Narciso Ramos Highway was not without hesitation and objections. This route is not a pleasure traveler's dream road. The highway is full of stories about ambushes, highway robberies and hold-ups, snipers, suspicious and unwelcoming roadside folks, military versus bandits-guerillas-armed civilians running battles and skirmishes along the highway, etc.
(photo source: www.cyberdyaryo.com)
But then it's the only route that can take us to Cotabato with the shortest traveling time. I felt a certain twitch in my stomach when we finally decided for a go amidst objections from other colleagues. The last time I traveled through this highway was in 1998 and yes I remember that portions of it then were indeed controlled by Moro insurgents.
We required our female colleague to wear a "kumbong†– the local term for veil worn by women. It is an unusual sight to see a woman without "kumbong†traveling with men in this dangerous road. It attracts suspicion and unnecessary attention. There were four of us and I was the only one among our group who knew the directions. I did the navigation as far as my memory can serve me. And it did serve me well. Nothing much has changed and most of the landmarks along the highway that I had familiarized myself with before are still very conspicuous.
Our travel went smoothly except for some psychological discomfort brought about by fear and anxiety to what may surprise us in the next bend. But our fear disappeared as soon as we discovered scenic spots and some funny sights and signs. There were some truly notable signs along the way. In two different CAA (Civilian Armed Auxilliary – another name for civilian para-military units) checkpoints: a sign said "FULL STOP ENSFECTIONâ€. We were thinking if they wanted us to stop for inspection or they wanted to stop infection. A sign at the other checkpoint said "CAUTION ACCIDENTAL ZONEâ€. This made us wonder if we were in the right place. One of the streamers hanging over the road welcoming the homecoming of loved ones had this to say, "Compliments by RELATIVE FAMILYâ€. Maybe their family name was really "Relative†or they're not really sure whose family they were welcoming. Also, printed in one of the pillars of the Welcome Arch in Cotabato City was "BE FUNCTUAL EVEN OTHERS ARE NOTâ€. At least we arrived at our meeting on time.
There are no more checkpoints by Moro insurgent forces and the whole stretch of the highway from Lanao del Norte – Lanao del Sur to the province of Maguindanao are now guarded and secured by Marine soldiers.
Quite frankly, I feel more secure having Marines manning checkpoints than ordinary Army soldiers. The Marines are more courteous and reassuring while an ordinary Army Infantry soldier will make you feel very uncomfortable and scared.
An Army soldier manning a checkpoint will treat you like a criminal; without saying anything, will give you a tiger stare, look you in the eye, with his finger locked on the trigger of his rifle as if ready to shoot you if you make a wrong answer. An Army soldier at every inch looks angry and makes you feel as though it was your fault why his life is in a miserable mess. While a Marine on the other hand will approach you smiling, greet you and make apologies for the delay. He asks you were you're heading, makes a visual inspection and then salutes while saying thank you and have a nice trip.
We reached Cotabato after four hours, safe and sound.

Kevin's Journey
I started receiving compliments on my speaking ability as I built my internet business.
I became a member of Toastmasters. I was speaking every chance I got, not only at Toastmasters, but all over Sacramento. I started speaking for FREE at my high school for my former teachers. I made it a point to speak at least 3 times per week.
Speaking became my full time profession. I began speaking for Monster's "Making It Count" Programs, an organization that sends speakers to high schools and colleges across the country.
I was averaging 120-140 speeches per year.
Entered the Toastmasters speech contest, earned 3rd place in the Region.
I stayed the course speaking more in 1 month for different audiences than most were speaking in 6 months.
Thanks to the exposure from the Toastmasters speech contest, I was receiving a deluge of paid speaking opportunities.
I was asked to speak at corporate sponsor attended presentations for Monster's Making It Count as the standard example of how to deliver their presentations. I was also asked to teach and motivate their motivators on how to connect with youth audiences of 1,000 or more for Monster's speaker certification trainings.
I was hired as a Skill Path Seminar trainer and began travelling the U.S. and Canada executing 2- day trainings on the subject of "Communicating with Professionalism and Diplomacy in the Work Place."
I spent the next 2 years speaking for Toastmasters, Making It Count, Skill Path, building my internet business and booking speaking engagements through word of mouth referrals.
I was ready to get serious about building LifeChangers Intl. I joined Les Brown's Speaker Network to gain the information I needed to take my business to the next level. While I was building and learning, I continued to speak, speak and speak more…
I shared a stage with living speaking legend Les Brown in Kansas City for a 2-day seminar. It was a dream come true to share the stage with the person that inspired me to believe that I had greatness in me. Les Brown was an example that speaking for a living was possible for me.
As the #1 Making It Count speaker in the company (I was proud to earn this title 6 years in a row), "Making It Count" created a full time speaking position for me.
Within this same year, I had a conversation with living speaking legend Willie Jolley at a conference. Willie said it was time for me to step out on my own and build my own business. He told me I was ready, that I could do it. He was right. We all need encouragement especially when it comes from people who are having massive success in the very thing that you have set out to do. His words reverberated through my head for the next 18 months. I was actively bracing (preparing) myself to take a leap of faith. This picture was taken just moments after the life changing conversation.
This period was a whirlwind, I travelled across the U.S., Jamaica and the U.K. speaking, studying and learning from Les Brown. I had the rare opportunity to meet and learn from many of the personal development and motivational mavens during this time frame.
Speaking Highlight: I spoke at Bishop T.D. Jakes Potter's House.
I launched the first Kevin Bracy School of Motivation, New Speaker Basic Training in Sacramento, California. In this setting, I was able to see my dreams come to life by helping new speakers avoid the pitfalls that I had experienced early in my career. The training was created to show them how to build a strong foundation for their own speaking businesses.
Later that same year I held my second School of Motivation while continuing to speak, speak and speak more.
Toward the end of the year I held the first "Your Time is Now Leadership Empowerment Movement", an event specifically for college campuses. The inaugural show was held in front of a packed house at Washington State University. It took a lot of work, but was worth every ounce of energy I put into it.
Another vision came to fruition, the inaugural First Step for Speakers Conference was held in Los Angeles, California. My goal was to create a conference where speakers could come to be educated, empowered, entertained and enlightened about which "first steps" to take as they began building their speaking careers.
The third Kevin Bracy School of Motivation was held in Sacramento. I continued to speak, speak and speak more while simultaneously building my brands.
For years I had dreamed of giving my School of Motivation graduates a platform to show their stuff. It was a show called, "Russell Simmons Def Comedy Jam" that helped me figure out how to make it happen. The concept for Kevin Bracy's MonSTARS of Motivation came from Russell Simmons' show, he was an inspiration to me. It is so important to have people that inspire you to think outside of the box!
The first show was held and filmed as a television pilot on September 9, 2007 before a sold out audience in Sacramento, California.
Kevin Bracy's MonSTARS of Motivation Show # 2: A New Year! A New View! A New You! was another sold out show in Sacramento, California.
I held my second groundbreaking training conference, The First Step for Speakers. This time we incorporated Kevin Bracy's Speak Up Speak Off Competition to give the speakers a chance to display their talent in front of a live audience as well as panel of celebrity judges. It was our first attempt at making the speaking competition that we had thought about for so long a reality. It was a huge success!) We also held Kevin Bracy's MonSTARS of Motivation Show #3 during the conference; it was an amazing weekend and quite an accomplishment for LifeChangers Intl.!
Unbeknownst to me there was a television executive and casting director in attendance, the success of the shows resulted in my first verbal offer for a TV production deal for The Kevin Bracy Show.
Speaking Highlight: Spoke at Texas A&M - Corpus Christi
Kevin Bracy's School of Motivation, "New Speaker" Intense Training held in Sacramento, California.
I officially inked a written television production deal for The Kevin Bracy Show.
Speaking Highlight: I spoke before an audience of over 400 athletes, with 17 sports represented at my alma mater, the University of Utah. This was Utah's first 13-0 season, they were the only undefeated college football team in America that year.
Kevin Bracy's School of Motivation, "New Speaker" Intense Training was held in Sacramento, California and incorporated Kevin Bracy's MonSTARS of Motivation Show #4 in front of yet another sold-out audience.
The first Kevin Bracy's Brace Yourself and Do It One-Day Seminar was held at the University of Phoenix Sacramento Campus.
Speaking Highlight: Mission Hills Mortgage Bankers. I delivered 5 talks over 3 days in Chico, Yuba City, Oroville, and Redding.
Speaking Highlight: My first Keller Williams Realty speech - Elk Grove, CA Office. I delivered a motivational speech titled: It's Gonna Be A Great Year!
Speaking Highlight: Returned to Mission Hills Mortgage Bankers to speak to the managers for their 2009 Kick-Off event.
Speaking Highlight: I delivered a speech for Martin Luther King Day to 1,900 students at Jackson High School in Mill Creek, Washington.
We held another First Step for Speakers Conference which included The Speak Up Speak Off Competition and Kevin Bracy's MonSTARS of Motivation Show #5 in San Francisco.
Speaking Highlight: I was The Character Combine opening keynote speaker. I spoke front of an audience of 500 coaches and team captains who had come together to learn about the importance of character both on and off the field.
Speaking Highlight: I spoke to PG&E Site Managers in 4 cities: Sacramento, Monterey, Fresno, and Pleasanton.
Speaking Highlight: I was honored to keynote my second Character Combine in Sacramento after earning a 98% speaker rating from coaches and players during my first Character Combine in 2009. I was proud to be the highest rated Combine speaker.
Speaking Highlight: I spoke at the Character Combine in Hawaii.
Kevin Bracy's MonSTARS of Motivation Show #6! This was our first attempt at the Red Carpet Preshow, it was a huge success! The show was oversold show, the evening was electric!!!
Speaking Highlight: I was the keynote speaker at the MillerCoors 2011 Sales Rally at AT&T Park, home of the 2010 World Series Champions. This was a DREAM COME TRUE for me. My talk was followed by company contest, the winner had me come motivate their DBI San Francisco warehouse workers, followed by a corporate coaching session over dinner for the winning managers.
LIFE HIGHLIGHT: I completed my first half marathon as I prepared to run a full marathon to fundraise for a local high school.

Bright Idea: Program Your VCR and Feed Your Cat at the Same Time
What is automatic? Automatic is a device working by itself with little or no direct human control. Things that are automatic are an alarm clock, a timer, a coffeemaker that turns on at 6:30 a.m. when you wake up.
What is mechanical engineering? Modeling the bending and twisting displayed by solar panels on a space telescope. Designing carbon fiber prosthetic blades for high-speed running. Designing a safety harness for an upside-down amusement park ride. Designing surgical robots that improve precision and reduce incision size, blood loss, pain and healing time. These are just some things a mechanical engineer could do.
In this mechanical engineering project, I followed the engineering process to design and create my automatic pet feeder. A lot of work went into this: I had to define the problem, do background research, specify requirements, brainstorm solutions, do development work, build a prototype, test and redesign.
My first step in the engineering process is to define the problem. In this case, I needed to find a reliable ways of feeding my pet for two days. The second step is to do background research. I looked up many ways to build a pet feeder. The third step is to look at the specific requirements. The fourth step is to brainstorm solutions. I thought of various ways to make it work better. The fifth step was to choose the best solution and use it. The sixth step is to do development work: to find out how fast I wanted it to be running, how big I wanted it to be and if I wanted it elevated or on the floor. The seventh step is to build a prototype and see if it runs the way I want it to. The last step is to test and redesign it.
It took several trials to build and test my designs, but I didn't give up. At the end of my project, the result was a cool way to feed your pet and the ability to go on a short vacation knowing that my pet is being taken care of.
Too my surprise it worked and it worked really well (when I'm home)! I am working on it so that when I set the timer on the VCR, it will run so that my pet will be able to eat.

Seriously. Airtel, Vodafone and Idea should go drown themselves in a cup of water. A network much younger to them has beaten them in launching 3G services in the fastest growing telecom market in the world.
It seems like yesterday that Tata Docomo launched in India with their awesome ad campaign and the amazing jingle and induced a price war in the telecom space in India. It is a result of this price war that we are seeing dirt cheap call prices in India today.
Today, Tata Docomo has become the first private telecom operator to launch 3G services in India. Although the official launch date is Diwali, but they flipped the switch today morning (choti Diwali) and their subscribers have been enjoying 3G at blazing fast speeds.
Tata Docomo is starting its 3G services in all the circles where it was able to secure a 3G license in the recent bidding war. These circles are:
In case you are a Tata Docomo subscriber in these circles, you should ideally be able to use their 3G services if your handset is 3G capable. Tata Docomo has also promised that their 3G tariffs will be highly competitive and that anyone who wants to enjoy 3G services will be able to afford them. They should announce the tariffs soon after the official launch.
The good part is that all the private operators have upgraded their network with HSDPA+ class equipments capable of delivering speed up to 21 Mbps!
And in case you are wondering about the speed people are getting on Tata Docomo's 3G network, head on to http://telecomtalk.info/tata-docomo-3g-speed-test-results/46837/. They are very impressive I must say.
Here is the APN for accessing Tata Docomo's 3G service from a 3G capable handset:
Balance will be deducted as per your GPRS balance or from main account.

The reason Tata DOCOMO got there first is to do that it's a recently launched operator.
It knew India would go 3G soon so they built their infrastructure 3G ready right from the start. All they had to do was power them on (or something like that).
Yes of course with right attitude and less circles to cover – they reached there the first.
Heard they have offered the 3G services for free for the first few days – till the end of Nov 2010. Is that true?
I am a happy customer of tata docomo . I am using 3g services at the lightning fast speed.In Haryana i am using it very easily and at a good speed
[…] made this clear when they were allocating the licenses? A few private operators like Reliance and Tata Docomo have already launched their 3G services. What happens to them? Probably this is the reason why this post has been categorized into the WTF […]
ICICI Bank and GadgetsGuru.com are selling the iPad wifi models in India at absurd prices and calling it 'offer'....

This is a repost from an article I wrote a few years ago when I started making lacto fermented foods. I have not made anything fermented in some time. I'm gearing up to do this again. I love sauerkraut and it is easy to make.
You will need whey to make this. Remember the feta cheese I posted about last week? You can use the whey from that if you make it. If not, don't worry you can purchase a good quality yogurt (with live cultures) from the store and strain out the whey.
I don't have large crocks to ferment food in; you don't really need these to
have success with fermenting. I tried the quart jars as suggested by Sally
Fallon of Nourishing Traditions and found that sometimes, for some things, they
worked great, but for other things they failed miserably for me. After reading
more on the subject I tried using 2 quart jars and gallon size glass jars. These
have worked great for me. I highly recommend the gallon size jars for making
sauerkraut. You can reuse glass jars if you buy items in those big quantities,
like I do ~smile~. You can also purchase gallon size glass canning jars.
I read and learned of the benefits of lacto fermented food. Basically
fermentation is taking the carbohydrates of those vegetables and turning them
into lactic acid. Lactic acid breaks food down making it easier to digest. The
resulting product is full of digestive enzymes and beneficial bacteria. Lactic
acid stimulates your digestive system to make it function as it should.
In order to make lacto fermented foods you will need some whey. When I started
making lacto fermented food I had goats in milk and I was making a lot of feta
cheese and cream cheese. This gave me a large supply of whey. If you are not
ready to start making cheese in order to get whey, don't despair there is
another option for you. You can buy good quality yogurt and drain this through
cheese cloth or an old pillow case (that has been washed and bleached first) to
extract the whey. What is left in the bag is yogurt cheese and can be used
similarly to cream cheese.
You can achieve the same results without the whey by using salt only. It just
takes longer to get the finished product. By using whey, which is lactic acid
and only a little salt you have an edible product in about 3 days. The little
bit of salt added is for the benefit of preserving the veggies in the first
days, until the lactic acid takes over. This prevents decay. Fermented
vegetables are not a dead, decayed food. They are very much an alive food that
is FULL of beneficial health promoting properties.
Now to make some sauerkraut....
Gather together this list of items:
1- 1 gallon glass jar, with lid
1 zip lock type bag, gallon size
Large wooden spoon
A potato masher
And purchase some good quality yogurt (Nancy's or Brown Cow are two good brands
that have active live cultures)
A washed an bleached piece of cloth to drain your yogurt
You will need about ½ cup of whey. I find I can
easily get this amount of whey from 16 oz. of yogurt.
To get the whey from yogurt you need to use a
washed and bleached piece of cotton cloth and some string. I use an old
ugly piece of fabric I cut from an old sheet. I scoop out the yogurt, tie
it and hang it to drip.
After the whey is collected I put it in a jar in
the refrigerator until I need to use it.
I want to share with you how to make a simple basic batch of Sauerkraut. If you
would like to ferment other foods and read more on this I highly recommend the
Nourishing Traditions by Sally Fallon. The book is more than worth every
penny you will spend on it.
Lacto-Fermented Sauerkraut
Supplies Needed:
1- 1 gallon glass jar, with lid
1 zip lock type bag, gallon size
Large wooden spoon
A potato masher
1 large head of cabbage, fairly heavy and dense or 2 medium heads of cabbage
2 T sea salt
½ cup whey
Optional Ingredients:
~1 carrot, peeled and grated
~1 onion, sliced thinly
Sauerkraut can be made with cabbage only, but I often add the extra veggies to
give added taste and color.
Core and slice cabbage into thin shreds. I like this better than grating. I
discard a few of the outer leaves of the cabbage. Then I cut it in quarters and
core it. I take each quarter and run it through my food processor with a slicing
disk. If you don't have a food processor with a slicing disk, you can do the
cutting by hand.
Put cabbage into a large bowl. Add extra veggies if you are using them. Stir
them up to mix up the extra veggies.
Sprinkle salt over cabbage.
Sprinkle the whey over the cabbage.
Using a large spoon mix well. Now take the potato
masher and begin pounding and mixing and pounding the cabbage. You will notice
that soon the volume begins to reduce. I will let my cabbage sit for awhile and
then pound and mix again for a few minutes. I take about 30 to 45 minutes to do
this, taking breaks as needed.
When this process is done spoon cabbage mixture into one gallon jar. Having a
nice wide canning funnel sitting on top of the jar helps this process. Use a
wooden spoon to pack and push the cabbage to the bottom of the jar and let any
liquid that is there rise to the top.
After all the cabbage has been put in the jar and
packed down you can add more water if needed. You need to make sure water is
covering the top of the cabbage.
Now take the one gallon size zip lock type bag and put this into the jar,
opening the bag up and reaching your hand inside the bag to push it to the edges
of the jar. Now fill the bag about half full of water. Using your hand push and
make sure the bag is tightly packed around the inside edge of the jar. The water
provides the weight to press the cabbage down and keep it down and the bag helps
to ensure an oxygen-less environment for the cabbage to ferment.
Fermentation can only take place in the absence of oxygen. So it is important
for the bag to seal all the way to the edges and for the water weight to keep
the cabbage under the layer of liquid.
Put the lid on the jar and set it on your counter for 3 days.
During those 3 days you will watch your cabbage
transform into sauerkraut. Bubbles seen around the glass is normal. After 3 days
you can remove the bag and put the sauerkraut into the fridge. It will taste
better if left for a few more days.
Temperatures are important too. Fermenting needs to take place between 68 and 72
degrees, officially. I have had success with nighttime temps dropping below 68
in my kitchen and going above 72 during the day if we are doing a lot baking.
If for some reason your sauerkraut did not turn out, that is ok.. Toss it and
try again! This is an art and a skill to learn. There is a reason you can't find
fresh, fermented sauerkraut at the stores! It is something that can really only
be made one batch at a time right in your own kitchen. And to think that you
have the ability to provide a health packed food for your family such as this!!

Paul McCartney & Wings Vs. Timo Maas & James Teej
Nineteen Hundred And Eighty Five
Label: Virgin
Art.Nr.: 09535314
Kat.Nr.: 4790918
Jahr: 2016
Cover: Picture
Format: 12"
Pressung: EU - Original
Zustand: Neu Vinyl: Cover: Pop + Pop & Various + Pop Rock + Rock / Indie
The music industry has gone into a spin about 'Nineteen Hundred and Eighty Five' over the past two weeks. Limited 12" test pressings sold out in hours, it went straight to number one in the record shops stocking them and sent ebay into overdrive ever since. Even i-D magazine has questioned who is behind this special project.
This is in no small part due to Paul McCartney being one of rock's most iconic figures. From his frontman status within The Beatles to his solo outfit Wings, he trailblazed the 70s with a string of hits. Originally a B side, the luminous 'Nineteen Hundred and Eighty Five' was first released in 1973 and took Timo Maas until 2009 to discover it. Amazed at how fresh the record sounded, he teamed up with musical cohort James Teej to contemporise this classic sound and bring a modern edge into it, now set for official release on Virgin Records Germany on May 13th.
The original 'Nineteen Hundred and Eighty Five' was the closing track on the 1973 album 'Band on the Run' and found critical acclaim for Paul McCartney & Wings (the solo outfit the Beatles member founded with his wife Linda) through references to George Orwell's 1984, yet it also tells an unlikely love story through its lyrics. Industry heavy-weights Timo Maas & James Teej elevate the track and spark it with electronic heat, creating a perfect storm between the past and the present.

Will riots be scheduled for tonight in Baltimore?
For anyone out of the loop, the death of Freddie Gray has been one of the latest causes taken up by BlackLivesMatter and similar organizations. While being transported in a police van following an arrest in April of last year, Gray fell into a coma, and eventually died resulting from damage to his spinal cord. It was speculated that he had been subject to a "rough ride" by the officers.
The case also somehow became a racial justice issue despite the fact that three of the six officers involved were black. Riots broke out quickly, and the month of May managed to set the record for the most homicides in a single month in 40 years.
But was it all for naught?
Via MSN
Baltimore police officer Caesar Goodson Jr was found not guilty on Thursday of all criminal charges including second-degree depraved heart murder in the case of black detainee Freddie Gray.
Goodson had also faced three counts of manslaughter, and single counts of reckless endangerment, second-degree assault and misconduct in office.
Goodson, who is also black, faced the most serious charges among the six officers charged in Gray's death, making his the marquee case for prosecutors. They failed to secure a conviction in two earlier trials of officers.
"This court is satisfied the state has failed to show" evidence of the crimes, Williams said. Prosecutors contended Goodson gave Gray a "rough ride," failed to ensure his safety and should have called a medic.
"That is an inflammatory term … that when uttered is not to be taken lightly," said Williams. Goodson's defense team argued that Gray caused his own injuries by falling inside the transport van. Goodson also lacked the training to recognize that Gray was hurt, they said.
Gray, 25, was arrested after fleeing police officers in a high-crime area. He was bundled into Goodson's van shackled and not secured with a seat belt inside the van, a violation of police procedure.
You really can't win with the people who will inevitably try burning their city to the ground as an "appropriate" response to this verdict. If the officer was charged, it would be proof of police brutality. If the officer wasn't charged, it's proof that the system is rigged to protect police.
