My homemade energy drink: Watch out Red Bull!
The energy drink market has always fascinated me. The gas station down the street from our office has two industrial-sized fridges dedicated entirely to carbonated caffeine. I just walked down the street to take a count -- they have 14 varieties. How the hell can so many companies selling the exact same product survive? They all have an almost-verbatim list of ingredients and more importantly, the active ingredient is the same in each one -- caffeine. The same caffeine you get from coffee, chocolate, or my favorite, green tea.
I actually hate the taste of green tea, but the way I see it, if you want caffeine, green tea is the healthiest way to go. It gives you a pre-workout energy boost and I'm sure it'll pay off somewhere down the road when I don't contract skin cancer after all the hours I spend in the SoCal sun (pounding on wood). Now, many of my fellow employees think that I have serious issues, because a cup of my green tea packs a little more punch than most. I use four bags and steep them for about 10 minutes. While that may seem a bit insane, it still only yields about 150 mg of caffeine, which is less the half the "caff" of a venti cup of startbucks. I find that the "buzz" is rather mild, perfect for a run, and it's more sustainable than the rush delivered by a quadruple-shot espresso. If you've got the stomach for it, I suggest you give it a try. Otherwise, you could head to your local gas station and pay $3.50 for some crazy energy drink with a skull and chainsaw on the can -- it's up to you. My "energy drink" costs me about 12 cents a serving.

Hi, Brad.
I like the idea of the homemade energy drink. Nice and affordable. Personally, I use 5 bags (about as much caffeine as in a caffeine pill). But, same concept.

So anyway, yes, as I said a while ago, I finally bought myself a ukulele. And here it is, pictured, to give some idea of scale, next to its foster brother my battered acoustic guitar.
That guitar, incidentally, was acquired second hand from my friend, the ludicrously successful and prolific children's book illustrator, Adrian Reynolds some years ago (in settlement of an £8 debt if I remember rightly). We were at college together way back and then housemates for quite a while. Nowadays he lives round the corner. It is in all respects coincidence and in no way a reflection of our subsequent illustrative careers that he now plays a great big double bass and I've just got a teeny weeny ukulele.
Anyway, the ukulele (or "uke" as we aficianados call them) is a Mahalo tenor. Tenors are the second largest standard size of uke - smaller than the baritone but larger than the concert and the more common soprano. I tried out a concert uke in the shop but found it a bit too fiddly for my clumsy mitts. I'd probably have adjusted eventually but the tenor felt just a touch roomier on the fingerboard.
And it's great fun to play. Ukes are tuned to different notes but at similar intervals to those of the top four strings of a guitar. So having previously learned a fair number of guitar chord shapes over the years (pretty much only ever play 3 or 4 of them, but I know more than that) I can now use the same shapes (but with two fewer strings to worry about) on the uke. So I've quickly progressed from really awful to awful and even, thanks to a Zoom PS-02 digital multitrack recorder (lovely toy) I picked up on eBay a while ago, accompanied myself on guitar on a favourite Magnetic Fields track, The Book of Love. And do you know, for all my ineptitude on both instruments it actually sounded okay. Then I "sang" over the top of it and suddenly it didn't.
But even making bad music can be a good thing, I think. So long as bagpipes aren't involved.

Man Campaigning for Assisted Suicide Ends his Life
Updated 18:02pm
A 70 year old Swedish man, terminally ill with ALS, the commonest type of motor neurone disease, has ended his own life just days after sending a letter to the National Board of Health and Welfare asking to be given the right to a doctor-assisted suicide.
Lars-Olov Hammergård , who wanted to get a prescription from his doctor for pills that would kill him (assisted suicide) had sent his letter after reading about a 31 year old Swedish woman who recently wrote to the Board asking for doctors to be allowed to turn off her respirator so she could end her life in dignity. (Euthanasia.) The woman, who suffers from a degenerative neurological disease, has been on a respirator since the age of 6. A decision is expected later in the Spring.
Lars-Olov Hammergård had told the Svenska Dagbladet newspaper this week that he wanted a quick response from the board as his condition was deteriorating rapidly and he would do something about it himself unless he was granted his wish.
On Wednesday Mr Hammergård's brother told the SVD newspaper that the 70 year old had ended his life at home on Tuesday as he wished, surrounded by his family.
According to newspaper Svenska Dagbladet, the man began campaigning to give patients the right to assisted suicide after he received his own diagnosis four years ago. He had always been very clear in his desire to die when he couldn't take care of himself any longer.
The regulations governing assisted suicide and euthanasia have changed over the years in Sweden. In 1979 journalist Berit Hedeby went to prison for a year for helping a man with MS to die. The doctor involved had his license revoked and he committed suicide. Presently doctors are forbidden to assist in a patients suicide and recently in a high profile case, a doctor at a maternity unit at the Astrid Lindgren hospital in Stockholm is facing criminal manslaughter proceedings.
"Active" euthanasia is not allowed in Sweden but "passive" euthanasia is permitted where a patient in his right mind asks his doctor to stop life extending treatment.
Göran Hägglund, Sweden's Minister for Health and Social Affairs, commented that "every form of active euthanasia is unacceptable," but he welcomes the Board's investigation into the issue.
In the European Union, euthanasia and doctor assisted suicide is legal under certain circumstances in Belgium, Luxembourg and the Netherlands. Berit Hasselmark, Vice Chair of the Swedish branch of the pro-euthanasia and assisted suicide organisation, Right to Die With Dignity told Radio Sweden that Sweden should at least allow assisted suicide and recognize living wills.

I am well aware of that little known fact that 'we' as the 'better half' of the general public, the 'more logical, common sense thinkers' aren't suppose to let the 'little things' get to us . However, when it just seems to come at you all at once, from every direction it can be both pretty subtle & pretty hard/or difficult. I'm the type of person who doesn't let 'it all out' little by little, I am known for 'holding it all in' and allowing it to all build up until I allow it to explode. Here lately I have been meditating in order to keep my sanity. Yet for some reason I haven't been able to find the time nor opportunity to meditate, so I've been taking it out on the 'online, multiplayer pool games. However, they're even getting to me when they cheat at the game, which is quite frequently here lately !

Hope your new year is going well! We had a great vacation and are eager to resume brewery operations. However we have a small delay due to a few improvements not yet being completed. In order to better serve you, we're going to postpone our winter break til the first week of February. This should give us the necessary time to finish up what we're doing and get a few brews kicked off. We appreciate your patience and support! We'll see in just about a month!

Yesterday I published a story about British national Benjamin Stimson being sentenced to more than five years in prison for fighting on behalf of the Russians in East Ukraine.
His friend Graham William Phillips is still at large. When Phillips returns to the UK he will follow his compatriot's way straight to jail.
As a reminder, please allow me to reacquaint you with Graham William Phillips, in case you forgot.
On his Twitter account, @GrahamWP_UK, he describes himself as an Independent UK journalist. Therein lies the problem. He presents himself as neither independent, nor from the UK, nor as a journalist. He enjoys celebrity status with those associated with the Russian invasion of Ukraine. He liberally poses for pictures with Russian mercenaries, is presented Russian medals, and the stories he does publish, fully embrace a Russian perspective with nary an attempt at presenting all sides of the story, an opposing opinion, or the truth. In other words, if judged by a jury of his peers in the actual independent UK journalist community, he would be considered a shill, a sham artist, and a swindler.
Graham William Phillips receiving a Russian medal.
Graham Phillips Network is notorious, so much so that it was written up as a graph. Note the Russian connections.

To some, Jack Neil is an ideal principal. To others, he's the only principal they've known. Starting this summer, the 57-year-old Belvidere resident won't be anyone's principal.
Editor's Note: This story had incorrect information when it originally published. That information has been corrected.
To some, Jack Neil is an ideal principal.
To others, he's the only principal they've known.
Starting this summer, the 57-year-old Belvidere resident won't be anyone's principal.
Neil began his career in education at Washington Elementary School in 1977, focusing on teaching art to youngsters. His love of the classroom took him to schools across the district, but the diverse population of students at Washington and its unique environment made it the place from which Neil always planned to retire.
"This was always kind of my dream school," he said. "You have just a little bit of everything here. It's multicultural, and it really is a beautiful cross-section of Boone County."
But after 33 years in Belvidere School District, Neil is finding it hard to bid farewell. It is, after all, the place he and his wife, Linda, stumbled on after graduating from Southern Illinois University-Edwardsville.
"When I graduated college in 1977, I didn't know Belvidere from beans," Neil said. "But I sent resumes out everywhere and got a call here. I've always worked with wonderful teachers and people over the years. That's the secret for me — I try to surround myself with really good people and can't say enough about the support in this district."
Students and staff at Washington can't say enough about him, either.
"He has a good rapport with kids," secretary Nancy Hearn said. "Even frequent fliers to his office who get in trouble still like him."
Emily Nava, 7, is excited that her last day of school is Wednesday, but she's sad that Neil won't be here when she returns in the fall. "He's the best principal," she said. "Ever."
District employee Meghan Johnson will assume Neil's job.
And despite retirement, Neil won't be far from the district: He has agreed to be a substitute principal at Meehan Elementary in the fall while its incoming principal, Nicole Difford, goes on maternity leave. It'll give him time to contemplate the big question: What's next?
"I don't know what I'm going to do. I got used to working 50 to 60 hours a week and didn't have much time for anything."

Democrat lobbyist Tony Podesta, the founder of the Podesta Group and brother of former Hillary Clinton campaign chairman John Podesta, stepped down from his lobbying firm after reports indicated last week the firm had come under the scrutiny of special counsel Robert Mueller.
Podesta announced his departure during an internal firm-wide meeting Monday morning and is currently in the process of alerting his clients of his departure, according to Politico, who first reported the development.
He will hand full control of the Podesta Group to longtime firm CEO Kimberly Fritts, sources with knowledge of the meeting told the outlet.
Advertisement - story continues below
Fritts will be launching a new firm within the next day or two. Sources told Politico the transition has been in the works for several months.
"(Tony) was very magnanimous and said, 'This is an amazing group of people,'" a source told Politico in describing Podesta's remarks.
TRENDING: Conservative Anti-Trump Magazine The Weekly Standard Announces Closure
Podesta told his staff he "doesn't intend to go quietly." Rather, he said he needs to fight the allegations "as an individual," and wants to leave his namesake firm out of it.
Podesta's departure from the lobbying world comes the same day that former Trump campaign manager Paul Manafort turned himself in to the FBI.
Advertisement - story continues below
Manafort and his longtime associate Rick Gates were indicted on 12 counts, including "conspiracy against the United States," "conspiracy to launder money" and "false statements."
One of the counts against Manafort was his failure to notify the Department of Justice that he performed lobbying work for a foreign nation or foreign politician as required by the Foreign Agents Registration Act. Manafort had worked on behalf of former Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovych from 2006 through 2014.
Mueller's investigation into Manafort eventually led him to the Podesta Group, which was one of the many firms that worked on Manafort's public relations campaign called the European Centre for a Modern Ukraine, which sought to promote Ukraine's image in the West.
It was only after The Associated Press reported in June 2016 about the Podesta Group's involvement with the ECMU from 2012 through 2014 that the firm filed its FARA registration.
The Podesta Group said at the time it thought its client was a European think tank with no affiliation with a foreign political party.
Advertisement - story continues below
NBC News reported last week that a criminal inquiry was launched to determine whether the Podesta Group violated FARA.
In a statement to NBC News, a spokesman for the Podesta Group said the firm "is cooperating fully with the Special Counsel's office and has taken every possible step to provide documentation that confirms timely compliance. In all of our client engagements, the Podesta Group conducts due diligence and consults with appropriate legal experts to ensure compliance with disclosure regulations at all times — and we did so in this case."
The Podesta Group's bottom line has been hurt severely in the wake of Mueller's investigation.
It has lost more than a dozen lobbying clients in 2017, according to filings.
Advertisement - story continues below
Revenues have also declined, Politico said.
The Podesta Group brought in an estimated $4.8 million in the third quarter of 2017, down from the estimated $6.1 million it earned in the third quarter of 2016.

After the Battle of Five Armies, he returned to his own lands and traveled to every settlement in three day's walk, offering his protection. In exchange, they accepted him as their chieftain, and the Beornings were born.
After spending a time getting to know Beorn, once introduced by Tor, the Fellowship is now welcome at Beorn's House, as long as they treat his animals well, and their Standing will apply for anyone found there.

Q.63. What are the special privileges of the visible church?
A. The visible church hath the privilege of being under God's special care and government [y]; of being protected and preserved in all ages, notwithstanding the opposition of all enemies [z]; and of enjoying the communion of saints, the ordinary means of salvation [a], and offers of grace by Christ to all the members of it in the ministry of the gospel, testifying, that whosoever believes in him shall be saved [b], and excluding none that will come unto him [c].
The visible church hath the privilege of being under God's special care and government [y];
[y] Isaiah 4:5-6 And the LORD will create upon every dwelling place of mount Zion, and upon her assemblies, a cloud and smoke by day, and the shining of a flaming fire by night: for upon all the glory shall be a defence. Ver.6 And there shall be a tabernacle for a shadow in the day time from the heat, and for a place of refuge, and for a covert from storm and from rain.
1 Timothy 4:10 For therefore we both labour and suffer reproach, because we trust in the living God, who is the Saviour of all men, specially of those that believe.
of being protected and preserved in all ages, notwithstanding the opposition of all enemies [z];
[z] Psalm 115:1-2 Not unto us, O LORD, not unto us, but unto thy name give glory, for thy mercy, and for thy truth's sake. Ver.2 Wherefore should the heathen say, Where is now their God? &c. Ver.9 O Israel, trust thou in the LORD: he is their help and their shield &c. [See the Psalm throughout.].
Isaiah 31:4-5 For thus hath the LORD spoken unto me, Like as the lion and the young lion roaring on his prey, when a multitude of shepherds is called forth against him, he will not be afraid of their voice, nor abase himself for the noise of them: so shall the LORD of hosts come down to fight for mount Zion, and for the hill thereof. Ver.5 As birds flying, so will the LORD of hosts defend Jerusalem; defending also he will deliver it; and passing over he will preserve it.
Zechariah 12:2-4 Behold, I will make Jerusalem a cup of trembling unto all the people round about, when they shall be in the siege both against Judah and against Jerusalem. Ver.3 And in that day will I make Jerusalem a burdensome stone for all people: all that burden themselves with it shall be cut in pieces, though all the people of the earth be gathered together against it. Ver.4 In that day, saith the LORD, I will smite every horse with astonishment, and his rider with madness: and I will open mine eyes upon the house of Judah, and will smite every horse of the people with blindness. Ver.8 In that day shall the LORD defend the inhabitants of Jerusalem; and he that is feeble among them at that day shall be as David; and the house of David shall be as God, as the angel of the LORD before them. Ver.9 And it shall come to pass in that day, that I will seek to destroy all the nations that come against Jerusalem.
and of enjoying the communion of saints, the ordinary means of salvation [a],
[a] Acts 2:39 For the promise is unto you, and to your children, and to all that are afar off, even as many as the LORD our God shall call. Ver.42 And they continued stedfastly in the apostles' doctrine and fellowship, and in breaking of bread, and in prayers.
and offers of grace by Christ to all the members of it in the ministry of the gospel, testifying, that whosoever believes in him shall be saved [b],
[b] Psalm 147:19-20 He sheweth his word unto Jacob, his statutes and his judgments unto Israel. Ver.20 He hath not dealt so with any nation: and as for his judgments, they have not known them. Praise ye the LORD.
Romans 9:4 Who are Israelites; to whom pertaineth the adoption, and the glory, and the covenants, and the giving of the law, and the service of God, and the promises;
Ephesians 4:11-12 And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers; Ver.12 For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ:
Mark 16:15-16 And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature. Ver.16 He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned.
and excluding none that will come unto him [c].
[c] John 6:37 All that the Father giveth me shall come to me; and him that cometh to me I will in no wise cast out.
Westminster Confession of Faith, chapter 25
III. Unto this catholic visible Church Christ has given the ministry, oracles, and ordinances of God, for the gathering and perfecting of the saints, in this life, to the end of the world: and does, by His own presence and Spirit, according to His promise, make them effectual thereunto [g].
[g] 1 Corinthians 12:28 And God hath set some in the church, first apostles, secondarily prophets, thirdly teachers, after that miracles, then gifts of healings, helps, governments, diversities of tongues.
Ephesians 4:11 And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers; Ver.12 For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ: Ver.13 Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ.
Matthew 28:19 Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: Ver.20 Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen.
Isaiah 59:21 As for me, this is my covenant with them, saith the Lord; My spirit that is upon thee, and my words which I have put in thy mouth, shall not depart out of thy mouth, nor out of the mouth of thy seed, nor out of the mouth of thy seed's seed, saith the Lord, from henceforth and for ever.
Westminster Confession of Faith, chapter 25
IV. This catholic Church has been sometimes more, sometimes less visible [h]. And particular Churches, which are members thereof, are more or less pure, according as the doctrine of the Gospel is taught and embraced, ordinances administered, and public worship performed more or less purely in them [i].
[h] Romans 11:3 Lord, they have killed thy prophets, and digged down thine altars; and I am left alone, and they seek my life. Ver.4 But what saith the answer of God unto him? I have reserved to myself seven thousand men, who have not bowed the knee to the image of Baal.
Revelation 12:6 And the woman fled into the wilderness, where she hath a place prepared of God, that they should feed her there a thousand two hundred and threescore days. Ver.14 And to the woman were given two wings of a great eagle, that she might fly into the wilderness, into her place, where she is nourished for a time, and times, and half a time, from the face of the serpent.
[i] (Revelation 2-3 throughout)
1 Corinthians 5:6 Your glorying is not good. Know ye not that a little leaven leaveneth the whole lump? Ver.7 Purge out therefore the old leaven, that ye may be a new lump, as ye are unleavened. For even Christ our passover is sacrificed for us.
Larger Catechism
Q.61. Are all they saved who hear the gospel, and live in the church?
A. All that hear the gospel, and live in the visible church, are not saved; but they only who are true members of the church invisible [v].
[v] John 12:38-40 That the saying of Esaias the prophet might be fulfilled, which he spake, Lord, who hath believed our report? and to whom hath the arm of the Lord been revealed? Ver.39 Therefore they could not believe, because that Esaias said again, Ver.40 He hath blinded their eyes, and hardened their heart; that they should not see with their eyes, nor understand with their heart, and be converted, and I should heal them.
Romans 9:6 Not as though the word of God hath taken none effect. For they are not all Israel, which are of Israel:
Matthew 22:14 For many are called, but few are chosen.
Matthew 7:21 Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.
Romans 11:7 What then? Israel hath not obtained that which he seeketh for; but the election hath obtained it, and the rest were blinded.
Westminster Confession of Faith, chapter 25
V. The purest Churches under heaven are subject both to mixture and error [k]; and some have so degenerated, as to become no Churches of Christ, but synagogues of Satan [l]. Nevertheless, there shall be always a Church on earth to worship God according to His will [m].
The purest Churches under heaven are subject both to mixture and error [k];
[k] 1 Corinthians 13:12 For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known.
[Revelation Chapters 2 and 3]
Matthew 13:24-30, 47 Another parable put he forth unto them, saying, The kingdom of heaven is likened unto a man which sowed good seed in his field: But while men slept, his enemy came and sowed tares among the wheat, and went his way. But when the blade was sprung up, and brought forth fruit, then appeared the tares also &c. Ver.47 Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto a net, that was cast into the sea, and gathered of every kind.
and some have so degenerated, as to become no Churches of Christ, but synagogues of Satan [l].
[l] Revelation 18:2 And he cried mightily with a strong voice, saying, Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen, and is become the habitation of devils, and the hold of every foul spirit, and a cage of every unclean and hateful bird.
Romans 11:18 Boast not against the branches. But if thou boast, thou bearest not the root, but the root thee. Ver.19 Thou wilt say then, The branches were broken off, that I might be grafted in. Ver.20 Well; because of unbelief they were broken off, and thou standest by faith. Be not highminded, but fear: Ver.21 For if God spared not the natural branches, take heed lest he also spare not thee. Ver.22 Behold therefore the goodness and severity of God: on them which fell, severity; but toward thee, goodness, if thou continue in his goodness: otherwise thou also shalt be cut off.
Nevertheless, there shall be always a Church on earth to worship God according to His will [m].
[m] Matthew 16:18 And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.
Psalm 72:17 His name shall endure for ever: his name shall be continued as long as the sun: and men shall be blessed in him: all nations shall call him blessed.
Psalm 102:28 The children of thy servants shall continue, and their seed shall be established before thee.
Matthew 28:19 Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: Ver.20 Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen.
Westminster Confession of Faith, chapter 25
VI. There is no other head of the Church but the Lord Jesus Christ [n]. Nor can the Pope of Rome, in any sense, be head thereof but is that Antichrist, that man of sin, and son of perdition, that exalts himself, in the Church, against Christ and all that is called God [o].
[n] Colossians 1:18 — And he is the head of the body, the church: who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead; that in all things he might have the preeminence.
Ephesians 1:22 — And hath put all things under his feet, and gave him to be the head over all things to the church.
[o] Matthew 23:8-10 — But be not ye called Rabbi: for one is your Master, even Christ; and all ye are brethren. Ver.9 And call no man your father upon the earth: for one is your Father, which is in heaven. Ver.10 Neither be ye called masters: for one is your Master, even Christ.
2 Thessalonians 2:3,4,8,9 Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition; Ver.4 Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God. Ver.8 And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming: Ver.9 Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders.
Revelation 13:6 And he opened his mouth in blasphemy against God, to blaspheme his name, and his tabernacle, and them that dwell in heaven.

A few days back, my friend A had mentioned that Konkanis make a dish called "Moogambat". I heard it as "Moogambhaat". She had just told me the name of the dish and told me it's a moong curry. I thought that it is a rice item made using moong curry. My friend later clarified that Moogambat is a ambat (sour) moong curry. This week, I had nothing remaining for my lunch. I was terribly hungry. I took a peek in the fridge and found some left-over rice and the flop moong. That's when the idea struck me. Here's what I did:
1.1 cup rice
2.1 tsp cumin seeds
3.Pinch of asafetida
4.3 green chillies, chopped fine
5.2 garlic cloves, chopped
6.1 cup sprouted moong
8.¼ tsp turmeric powder
9.¼ tsp red chilli powder
10.½ tsp garam masala powder
11.½ cup water
1.Cook the rice and the moong separately. Let the rice cool. Drain the water from the moong and preserve. Let's refer to this as "Moong water".
2.Heat oil in a pan. Add cumin seeds. After they splutter, add asafetida, green chillies, and garlic. Saute for some time. You can also add one sliced onion at this point.
3.Add the cooked moong. Mix well. Add salt, turmeric powder, red chilli powder, and garam masala. Mix and add ½ cup water.
4.Bring the gravy to a boil.
5.Add rice chunks to the gravy. Add small chunks and mix well.
6.Cook for 4-5 minutes. Moongambhaat is ready. Serve hot with Kalan.
Kalan is a spicy-tangy curry/soup made from moong water. I do not know the origin of this delicious curry, I only remember that it has been my favorite since childhood. My granny used to make this often when I used to visit her in the May vacation. I and my aunt used to fight over the garlic pieces floating in the curry.
Over the years, Mom regularly made this at home whenever she made mugachi usal. Yesterday, I jotted down the recipe while chatting with Mom. She as usual rushed through all the ingredients, whereas I kept telling her to dictate slowly:) This tasty curry should be devoured hot. It's a great remedy for cold.
1.1 cup moong water from step 1 in making rice.
2.1 cup buttermilk
3.2 green chillies, chopped fine
4.1 garlic clove, chopped
5.Salt and sugar to taste
6.1 tsp ghee
1.Take the moong water. Let it cool completely.
2.Add buttermilk, salt, and sugar to the moong water. Mix well.
3.Pour this mixture in a pan and bring it to a boil. Remember to stir it continuously.
4.Heat ghee in another pan. Add cumin seeds. Once they splutter, add the green chillies and garlic. Saute for some time. Pour this mixture in the boiling curry.
5.Serve hot.
P had never tasted this soup before. Inadvertently, he had a mild cold. He simply loved the soup. The combo of Moogambhaat with Kalan tastes amazing. You can serve Kalan with plain rice too.
This goes as my entry for M to Nupur in the wonderful A-Z series.

How can you reduce diabetic eye pressure
All diabetic people at greater risk of developing eye diseases. Diabetics, which are common part of specific populations such as African American, Hispanic American, Native American, and the elderly, have to face an even greater risk.
Reduce Eye Pressure Diabetic
Diabetes causes vascular damage throughout the body. This is because the bloods vessels are in the eye are very small and any damage can result in a huge impact on eye health. One of the most common eye diseases related to diabetes is glaucoma. The truth is that people with diabetes have a percentage between 40 and 50 percent likely to develop glaucoma than people without diabetes. Glaucoma causes pressure in the eye gradually increases and may damage the optic nerve leading to partial or complete loss of vision. The exact mechanisms of these problems not fully understood. While there several types of glaucoma the most common is the open angle glaucoma.
The Open Angle Glaucoma in diabetics
The eye is filled with fluid that continually updated. Normally, fluid drains are at a point in the eye, the iris and cornea. Diabetic eye symptoms eye diabetes red I have diabetes and I see blurry Diabetic Retinopathy natural treatment. If this opening from where the fluid is partially blocked the fluid drains into the eye too slowly even when added again fluid. The open angle glaucoma does not cause symptoms any until the disease is already too advanced.
At that time, the vision is affected, causing loss of peripheral vision then advancing to tunnel vision, and finally to the total loss of vision as the disease progresses untreated. The goal of treatment it is the decrease of intraocular pressure. This can address by one or three ways when:
- Low eye pressure,
- Improve drainage of fluid in the eye,
- Decreasing the volume of fluid produced within the eye.
- Several eye drops can be prescribed.
- Prostaglandins and cholinergic agents, act to increase the outflow of fluid from inside the eye.
- Alpha-adrenergic agonists, they are those that decrease the production of liquid, increasing the fluid outlet.
- Doctors also may prescribe a combination of the above drugs.
If medications are not enough to stop the progression of the disease, then may be necessary that surgery is done. The best way to combat glaucoma treatment is prevention. All persons are above 40 years of age, would have to have an eye exam, at least every three years. Diabetics should be examined for eye dilation annually. The levels of blood sugar, which are well controlled, are another preventive measure, which decreases the chances of developing glaucoma.

The race storm surrounding civil rights activist Rachel Delozal shows no signs of abating – and now Piers Morgan has stepped into the ring
The columnist penned a furious screed in the Daily Mail, branding Dolezal who was 'outed' as a white woman by her own family as a "deluded, ridiculous fantasist."
On Monday Delozal stepped down from her position as President of the NAACP chapter in Spokane, Washington. Her resignation came after her parents gave a series of interviews accusing her of "dishonesty" and produced pictures of her as a blonde, blue-eyed teenager with fair skin.
They say she is white with a trace of Native American heritage and that she began to alter her appearance after they adopted four African-American children.
A day later Dolezal appeared on the Today show with Matt Lauer where she continued to insist she identifies as a black woman but conceded: "I did feel that at some point I would need to address the complexity of my identity."
Hours later an apoplectic Morgan spluttered: "Well it's not really that complex is it Rachel? You're either black or white. And you're in fact white, as your whole biological family confirms."
Morgan made much of his "volcanic amusement" at Dolezal's fall from grace, yet wrote: "But the problem with all this is that it's really not that funny."
Referring to Dolezal's confusing claims her father is a black man named Albert Wilkerson [she has not publicly acknowledged her biological, white, father Larry Dolezal], Morgan cites an earlier interview in which the 37-year-old said her black father was forced to flee the Deep South after assaulting a policeman who was attacking him.
Morgan raises the point: "A white woman pretending to be black, claiming her fake black dad had to escape the clutches of a white policeman who was going to kill him.
"What could be a more incendiary, inflammatory thing to say in race-torn America right now?"
In January a Facebook post on the Spokane NAACP wall featured an image of Dolezal with an African-American man, captioned as a "special guest" and subsequently described in the body of the post as her father.
President Dolezal's father announced today that he will be coming to town for the January 19th ribbon-cutting ceremony...Posted by Spokane NAACP on Tuesday, January 13, 2015
During her interview on the Today show, Lauer asked Dolezal how she could have said this, knowing her true father is Larry Dolezal.
Dolezal replied: "Albert Wilkerson is my dad. Any man can be a father, not every man can be a dad."
"We hope that her good will & love will also extend to include her family," Larry Dolezal tells me in phone interview pic.twitter.com/HKSMpEI0sq
— Taylor Viydo (@KREMTaylor) June 15, 2015
[Larry Dolezal has since said it "hurts deeply" to hear his daughter say that.]
Branding her a "cold, calculating piece of work", a "pathetically disingenuous wastrel" and a "lying, deluded idiot", Morgan concluded: "Rachel Dolezal has committed an appalling act of deception that deserves every heap of abuse now raining down on her head."
Dolezal has also lost her position as a part-time African studies instructor at a local university, was fired from her job as a freelance newspaper columnist and is the subject of a probe by the city Ethics Commission amid allegations she mispresented her ethnic background when applying for a place on the Police Ombudsman commission. On her application, she said her ethnic origins included white, black and American Indian.
On Friday, police said they were suspending investigations into racial harassment complaints Dolezal filed before the uproar.
In a further twist to the tale, it has since emerged Dolezal appears to have filed a race discrimination lawsuit against Howard University.
Dolezal, who received a Master of Fine Arts degree from Howard in 2002, apparently sued the historically black university in Washington, D.C., that year, alleging Howard discriminated against her by blocking "her appointment to a teaching assistantship" in 2001, rejecting her application for an instructor position and denying her scholarship aid as a student - because she was white.
Dolezal has however been credited with reinvigorating Spokane's moribund NAACP branch. In her resignation letter, she boasted that the branch acquired an office, increased membership, improved finances and made other improvements under her leadership.
Members of Spokane's civil rights community held a short rally on Monday night, in which they criticized Dolezal while vowing that the NAACP's work would go forward. The rally included black, white, Native American and Hispanic residents of the city of 210,000 people.
"That (resignation) letter never addressed the people that she hurt," Johnson said before the rally. "She turned her back on all of us."
"I feel duped," said Charity Bagatsing of Spokane, a rally organizer. "Our goal was to hold Rachel accountable for her lies and deceit."
"Her lies have done damage to the people who trusted her," said Blaine Stum, chair of the Spokane Human Rights Commission.
The controversy drew conflicting views from other NAACP leaders.
"I care that she was trying to make the world a better place every day," said Frank Hawkins Jr., the NAACP president in Las Vegas. "The color of a person's skin does not matter."
Don Harris, a white man who heads the NAACP in the Phoenix area, criticised her, saying, "What do you gain in saying, `I'm an African-American' when you're not?"
