It's super easy! You need:
Slice the onion, throw it in a large deep pan/cast-iron/whatever you got. No oil yet. Sautee that shit on high until it all starts to brown and caramelize (makes the whole thing sweeter + tastier.) Don't burn them, you just want them sorta clear and a little bit golden, maybe a little brown on some of the edges. They're gonna stick a little, that's okay.
Lower the heat, add a lil' olive oil, toss in your garlic and as much red pepper as you like and sautee for a little bit. (I use a lot of red pepper, cuz I like things SPICY.) Add a little water and with a wooden spoon deglasse the pan, aka scrape all that burn-y oniony goodness off the bottom of the pan from when you cooked those onions before. Add a can of veggie or mushroom stock, some salt, lots of black pepper, a few teaspoons of honey. Bring to a slow boil. Go ahead and put your water on for your grains now as well, assuming they're of the variety that takes about 20-30 minutes to cook, and do whatever that requires.
Toss in all those greens and then squeeze the lemons over top of them, sprinkle a little more salt and pepper. (Strain the lemon juice to keep the seeds out, duh.) Cover the whole thing with a big lid for like five minutes, remove, marvel at how much smaller that pile of leaves is after it's wilted. Stir a little. Add water if necessary, but probably not. The greens continue wilting down and getting darker and should be just barely covered with water, not drowning, but definitely not dry. Keep it at a low simmer for 15-20 minutes (or longer, depending on your pan/green of choice) until things start to look tender and done. Dump those chickpeas in there, stir, simmer for a few more minutes. If you like raisins, those can be a tasty addition at this point too.
Serve over grains and sprinkle with almonds. Voilá! If you eat cheese, some parmesan or other hard cheese (maybe manchego?!) would be nice grated on top as well. If you eat meat or fish, would be tasty under some grilled salmon, chicken, or even a pork chop.
Makes a lot, but just mix all the leftover grains and greens together and then nuke the whole mess for lunch the next day and eat with some tomato soup. A+.
Why so many food posts lately?! I have no idea. Deal with it. Today: Fried rice, but you know, minus the gut bomb and growing regret part afterwards, and with way more veggies than the few wrinkly peas you see sometimes.
Fried rice always feels like a.) kind of a cop-out to order takeout and b.) the unhealthiest thing ever to eat, and attempts to make it at home (at least for me) always seem to end in…. a greasy disgusting mess of overly-salty rice mush. Gross.
HOWEVER. This is not always how it has to be! You are totally allowed to mess with concepts, like "what fried rice is." Forget your notions of $3 greasy takeout and failed attempts to re-create it! Fried rice can totally be a meal in and of itself.
Like that huge coconut lentil stew I posted last week, wok-fried rice with plenty of tofu and veggies is another great, cheap way to feed a shit-ton of hungry people or just yourself for a week straight. And honestly, it's surprisingly healthy, especially if you add a ton of veggies, use brown/wild rice, and keep the oil and sugary/salty sauces to a minimum. (Garlic and ginger go a long way for flavor, seriously.) And once you've stocked up on the seasonings (most people might not always have soy sauce and sesame oil and cilantro on hand, but, uh, I do) it's super cheap and easy. It's also really easy to adapt to vegan or gluten-free diets, or you can replace the tofu with shrimp, chicken, pork, or steak for your meat-eating friends.
The secret is all in the prep, which is also super easy and fast once you get the hang of it. As usual, sharp knives (and a perverse enjoyment of, say, "julienning peppers") help a ton, and a really awesome nonstick/well-seasoned wok is absolutely necessary.
You're gonna need:
Ready? OK, cool. Let's go.
I've been trying to make an effort to cook at home and bring lunch to work more often, and as a result I've been spending my Sundays preparing giant bowls of salads that I can grab and go in the mornings. This lentil salad is one of my favourites — it's spicy, sweet, refreshing, filling, and ridiculously easy to make (well, if you like chopping, which I totally do, OH GOD YOU GUYS I COULD JULIENNE PEPPERS ALL DAY THE BEST STRESS RELIEF EVER IS DICING CELERY I LOVE KNIVES.) We also already know about my near-obsessive ongoing love affair with fresh mint — and this is just another option for it before summer's over.
More in summer dinner favourites: shrimp, marinated for a few hours in a Caribbean-ish mixture of soy sauce, olive oil, ginger, garlic, scallions, lime, cilantro (buy it fresh! not frozen! it's life-changing!), and hot pepper, then grilled (or sauteed, depending on what you have available: we know grills are hard to come by when you live in a 350 sq foot walk-up in a 52-unit building in Brooklyn, cough cough) then served over a chilled confetti orzo salad, garnished with more lime, scallions, and cilantro.
I'm a huge fan (if this wasn't obvious already) of all things sweet-and-spicy, and of using fruit unexpectedly in savory dishes. Here, cubed grilled pineapple and mandarin orange wedges (from a can, to save time) add a summery kick to a colourful salad of orzo, red and green bell pepper, red onion, chickpeas, black beans, and corn, with a dressing made of lime juice, olive oil, ginger, tons of garlic, scallions, hot pepper, and again plenty of fresh cilantro.
Fresh mint is by far one of my favourite things to cook with during summer, and Memorial Day weekend calls for summer food and drinks if nothing else. Above, gin cocktails with muddled cucumber, mint, lime, and club soda (almost dangerously refreshing, considering that each one more than two shots of gin…) and below, one of my favourite salads (seriously, I make this almost weekly from June to September): watermelon, feta, mint, a drizzle of olive oil and fresh cracked pepper.
And totally not involving mint, but we all basically know I can't help myself from baking for every possible occasion… So, ginger & black pepper spice cookies with dark chocolate chips as well — to be made into mini ice-cream-sandwiches with vanilla or pistachio ice cream for dessert.
Oh shit! A food post! I always forget about these and you guys always comment and ask about them and blahdyblah, I cook like it's my goshdarn job, blahdyblahblah.
Dinner last night was a twist on taking apart the usual Niçoise salad, minus the totes groce stuff, like anchovies and eggs, and letting the tuna and potatoes hold their own. So: Pan-seared tuna marinated in EVOO, apple cider vinegar, fresh rosemary, herbes de provence, garlic, mustard, and pepper; a chopped salad of most of the usual Niçoise vegetables with a wholegrain spicy mustard vinaigrette; and smashed roasted potatoes with garlic, rosemary, and fontina cheese. F'yeah.
It really amuses me when things which are actually relatively simple to make - for example, sea salted caramel/toffee/chocolate - become trendy in a way which seems intimidatingly gourmet. Toffee (and other sugar-based candies like marshmallows and butterscotch) are suprisingly easy - and the addition of a dark chocolate and a sprinkle of sea salt makes for an impressive-looking gift. It does take a bit of patience and probably a few botched batches before you perfect it, but when I say simple, I mean simple.
What you need for a basic butter tofffee is:
• 1 cup butter
• 1 cup sugar
• a stove, a saucepan, a wooden spoon, and a large piece of aluminum foil on a hard heatproof surface

LOUISVILLE, Ky. -- Cyber Monday and it's quickly becoming a household name. It's a favorite for those who may not like venturing out during the holiday season but still want to shop for those sales.
"It's really crowded out there. You hate parking; maybe you don't like to be around crowds," Amazon spokesperson Sarah Gelman said.
"I don't know if you've seen of the video clips of what went on Black Friday but you avoid that by going online," Gilt.com Chief Supply Chain Officer Chris Halkyard said.
Fulfillment centers like Gilt.com and Amazon see sales going up year after year on Cyber Monday.
"We were busy but we are much much busier this year, a lot of new employees, a lot of new technology here it's very exciting," Halkyard said.
At Gilt.com there are robots roaming the Shepherdsville fulfillment center, finding the specific designer good that was last ordered.
"All they're really doing is bringing the shelved product to the picker so the pickers don't have to walk," Halkyard said.
The robots have laser beams; they point to the item, you scan it, and they let you know what order it belongs to.
"It's really a small footprint but they really do maximize that area so it's very efficient," Halkyard said.
At Amazon, it's just what you would expect, massive amounts of orders.
"Last year we sold 26.5 million products. That's 306 units per second," Gelman said.
With that much merchandise, many workers are needed to pick, pack, sort and ship.
"We have 75,000 seasonal workers and thousands of them are right here. We are really focused on getting customers what they ordered when they need them so we staff up for that," Gelman said.
While you click and save, both companies are forecasting their biggest Cyber Monday yet.

The Central Board of Secondary Education is aiming to foster reading habits in students by introducing novels for classes IX-XII. With this attempt, more emphasis will be laid on teaching language skills rather than merely providing verbose notes which makes studies monotonous and mundane.
This attempt of CBSE would nurture reading habits among students of Classes XI and XII as well as among students who are a part of the Formative Assessment in CCE of Classes IX and X.
As per the revised guidelines of the curriculum in English language, CBSE has introduced the following novels for students of Classes IX to XII (w.e.f. 2012-13 for classes IX and XI and w.e.f. 2013-14 for classes X and XII)
|Class IX
|Class X
|Class XI
|Class XII

Ghost (1906 edition) by

As per the guidelines, out of the two novels prescribed at each level, every school has the option to choose and teach students either of the two novels for the sake of examination. All the novels would be introduced in expanded form.

31. preet | October 16th, 2012 at 6:13 pm
being a teacher i should say that cbse is making the students and the teachers stressed on increasing books dy by day in the syllabus. Already we have 3 English books which was difficult to cover during such a short teaching period, and over that we got a novel as well to complete……… CBSE should think about the average and the under average students who are simply unable to learn their given syllabus the how do cbse expect them to learn a novel as well.
I stongly oppose this idea of cbse………

Good choice on CBSE's part. I'm an ardent reader and that is the reason for my good english. Frankly, I'm hoping this will help improve the atrocious english of some people…..
Reading is a habit that will benefit you your whole life, so I see nothing wrong in 11th and 12th Class students reading 1 or 2 books a year….

- (06 / Aug / 2014)
Oh boy, that works a treat when used together with guarana powder, BCAA and cayenne pepper. Taking it in my porridge half an hour before my workout and I was sweating and pumping away.

No complaints, even if it's minutely helping out I'm happy. Feel more alert and definitely get a kick.
Green tea - mandatory for your fat burning stack
- (16 / Jul / 2014)
There are 3 mandatory supplements for every natural builder who wants to burn fat and get lean:
- L canintine
- Caffeine
and Green tea.
Why those 3? - because they attack the fat cell in three different ways. I will not goes with details how the process works but if you want to be 100% effective those 3 should be the best friends of you.
Why Green Tea Extract Powder? - because of the easy dose control. I go from 500mg to 1gr depending of the time and the goals
And at last - value for money. As always MP provide very clean and good product, Goes Well With:- caffeine
- L carnitine
- Yohimbine
Good Stuff
- (30 / Apr / 2014)
Not been using this long but already feeling benefits - more energy, better mood, etc.
Been taking half a mini scoop in my shakes and by itself with hot and cold water.
You can't taste it in the shakes at all and its great by itself.Goes Well With:Hot or Cold water, Diet Impact Whey
- (12 / Apr / 2014)
Can't comment on effectiveness in terms of weight loss. Just had my first cup though and it tastes exactly as green tea does, provides a nice buzz and is great value for money. I like strong green tea, so I found quarter of a tsp in hot water was to my taste.Goes Well With:Hot water
- (25 / Mar / 2014)
Tastes foul, like a cup of really strong green tea if not mixed with anything else, but neck it or mix into another shake and see the benefits yourself.
Definitely makes me feel more alert and seems to be assisting with shifting the more stubborn fat.Goes Well With:Protein powder & green powders.
- (10 / Mar / 2014)
I was disappointed with the horrible taste of this powder, I bought it as it stated it was unflavoured. I will go for the tablets next time.
- (02 / Mar / 2014)
I have just started using green tea. I don't like hot drinks so thought I would try this powder. I add this to fresh homemade fruit and veg juices and you cant tell it is in it. I find this product really good and It is helping with weight loss. You only need a small amount and it last for ages.Goes Well With:Fruit and veg drinks.
Green tea
- (19 / Nov / 2013)
Purchased this purely for the health benefits; I don't generally drink tea or coffee so green tea doesn't appeal to me. I found the tsar quite bad, but I think it tastes like a normal tea with no milk but I don't like tea at the best if times so that may just be a bias opinion. I have since found that you can get them in different flavours from elsewhere like a raspberry flavor which is supposed to be nice. Also I called to speak to someone after ordering to see if the spoon comes with it and if it didn't could they add it to my already placed order so I didn't have to pay additional postage charges; he said it does come with a spoon but it doesn't... Just make sure you get one.
The tea it self didn't seem to give any energy boost or any other side effect you could feel but all the experts can't be wrong. Plus at a 21 year old male I'm not generally short on energy.
All in all an alright product, would make an excellent substitute if you drink tea or coffee. Goes Well With:Hot water
Good stuff!
- (04 / Nov / 2013)
I received this on Friday so have only been taking it for 2 days so cannot comment on its effectiveness just yet. I don't have a my protein small scoop so I have just been putting a teaspoon of it in with my whey protein shake with a banana and spoon of almond butter and it tastes great! I cant taste it at all, still not sure if I need more or less than a teaspoon but will play it by ear. Am not getting a kick from 1 teaspoon but will give it chance to work. Goes Well With:chocolate whey protein, banana and almond butter
Love it!!!
- (26 / Oct / 2013)
I bought a pouch of MP's Green Tea Extract Powder to use alongside their Weight Loss Bundle. It comes in a convenient pack which I keep in my drawer at work and I think it tastes lovely. It tastes exactly the same as having a normal cup of green tea, although you only need a tiny amount in each drink. I take mine with a mug of hot water and drink it as a normal cup of green tea although I will be mixing it with Superfood XS and Nutri-Greens to give me a boost pre-workout. There is a good bit of caffeine in the Green Tea Extract Powder so you do get a nice little buzz with it in the morning. Whether it helps with weight loss? It' will be hard to tell but I think it's just something that's good to have for good general well being.Goes Well With:Add to a shake made up with Nutri-Greens and Superfood XS for a good natural boost pre-workout
good product
- (21 / Oct / 2013)
Overall a great product though I don't think it mixes very well so I put it into capsules and take it like that which is easier for me.
What is all the drama about?
- (15 / Oct / 2013)
It tastes absolutely fine and I don't see what all the drama is about with the taste. Has anyone tried a green teabag? its just the same, but obviously a lot better for you. I've only just started using it so I can't comment on the total benefits but is certainly giving me more energy and concentration. Make it like a tea in hotel water is the easiest. I will continue to have 3 cups a day and i am hoping it will build my immunity throughout the winter, which will help my joints. I definitely recommend! Oh and I think it is exceptional value!Goes Well With:Honey/cinnamon sugar for a treat
- (08 / Oct / 2013)
As good as it gets!
Amazing energy in the smallest amount, mixability can be a bit tricky with cold water and the taste is bitter (but it is an extract of course..)
Makes a great cuppa!
- (17 / Sep / 2013)
Not sure why others have negatively reviewed the taste, but with some warm water makes a drink very similar in taste to standard green tea! When you consider 100g gives you approximately 400cups (using a MP mini scoop or 240mg per time) it's exceptional value for money too. I can't really comment on it's effectiveness yet, but an easy to way to supplement with green tea.
- (26 / Aug / 2013)
I'm so happy with the taste of this Green Tea Extract Powder! You don't need much to make a cup of tea. It's too early to say if its doing anything good inside me, but I'm just happy with the new drink.Goes Well With:Ice and lemon
Great addition to a shake
- (21 / Aug / 2013)
I've been using the Green Tea Extract Powder for a couple of weeks now, I just add it to my whey diet shake. I'm already seeing results, I have been constantly losing the pounds. It doesn't add any flavour to shake, however it does clump together sometimes leaving a dry taste in the mouth. Apart from that it's great.Goes Well With:Impact diet whey protein shakes
Green tea extract
- (15 / Aug / 2013)
It's all about finding the right amount for the individual. Does take some mixingGoes Well With:Protein shake
- (10 / Aug / 2013)
Again, another product bought without checking the reviews. I was a bit apprehensive waiting for the Green Tea Extract Powder to arrive as everyone said it tasted horrible! Let's be honest, it does. It's sort of what I imagine melted tree bark would taste like, but it's completely worth it. I've used it to replace my teas and coffees (and I used to get through a lot!). I now have about 3 of these a day. In the morning, a quick one in the afternoon, and one before my work out. A squeeze of honey takes down the taste, but it's totally worth the grimace. I sometimes mix my last one of the day with a quarter cup hot water, pour into my shaker and fill with cold water. This keeps me going all the way through my work out. Also, a very handy side-effect has been that it's made my skin glow - not a bad side effect at all!
Overall, an excellent product and I will definitely buy more.
Comedown-free boost
- (22 / Jul / 2013)
I never realised this Green Tea Extract Powder had such a caffeine punch. I started to mix it in my shakes as I hated the taste of green tea, but it doesn't mix well cold. I've started mixing a quarter of a teaspoon with hot water for a great drink, and it tastes much, much better than regular green tea, which tastes of seaweed. It's like drinking a double espresso with a smoother up and no noticeable come down. It's brilliant.
Rocket fuel
- (10 / Jul / 2013)
This stuff is dynamite! I mix it in with my impact whey protein (don't bother drinking with water alone, dont mix well or taste great) and 30mins later it starts to kick in! Keeps me going through out my entire workout. Excellent product and very good price.I have being taking for 2 weeks and have noticed a big difference around the abs however I can't guarantee this is down to the green tea extract or CLA, as I've been taking them simultaneously.Goes Well With:Impact Whey protein, CLA, Water
- (03 / Jul / 2013)
All good, does everything it says on the tin. Recommended!
Very Good
- (29 / Jun / 2013)
Green Tea Extract Powder is very good and very effective, the taste is bearable, but not great when it comes to mixing. Overall it offers very good results!
What is all the fuss about
- (19 / Jun / 2013)
Really what is all the fuss about I got this because of all the benefits that have been mentioned and thought I would put up with the taste, I tried it today and what is all the fuss about? It's not that nice but it's not terrible.
I made it up like a cup of tea with skimmed milk and no sugar and it just tastes like a strong cuppa with a bit of an odd flavour behind it. It's a bit like an earl grey or something, in fact I would say I'd prefer this over an Earl Grey, it's totally drinkable and there's no need to gag, rinse you mouth etc. I've tasted far worse.
Don't let the taste reviews put you off.
I've only drunk one cup, so I can't comment on the effectiveness as yet.
green tea
- (11 / May / 2013)
This Green Tea Extract Powder gives me that little boast I need when waking up,1/4 teaspoon with a slice of lemon and hot water goes down well.
Green Tea Extract Powder
- (06 / Apr / 2013)
It doesn't taste great but after drinking it a few times you don't mind it and it becomes enjoyable. Another thing is that drinking it 2-3 times a day will make your skin glow, obviously works.
- (01 / Apr / 2013)
I haven't lost weight after using the Green Tea Extract Powder, but the tea is lovely. You will have to do a little trial and error, but I love it and the price is great, so for me this is perfect.
Great alternative to black coffee
- (27 / Mar / 2013)
This is not the nicest drink in the world but a perfectly acceptable hot drink and an alternative to black coffee (virtually necessary part of Intermittent Fasting), because it's 0 calories too. Nice caffeine content, which helps keep you feeling a little better if tired/groggy/super hungry. I don't particularly miss black coffee either now.
I don't think the taste is that bad but I have fairly diluted amounts with one artificial sweetener - about a quater of a teaspoons worth. My main complaint actually is that it stains your mug/spoons fairly easily.
I purchased the 500g bag during the sale and this is going to last me forever! So much so that I'd recommend putting the tea in another container (I used an old CLA tablet container with a lid) because the glue on the zip-seal will start to come loose and the packet won't close.
Saving a whole heap of money on the coffee I went through every day, reaping the benifits of Green Tea as well as keeping hydrated and full of caffeine until my eating window comes back. Lush.
- (21 / Mar / 2013)
The taste of the Green Tea Extract Powder is horrendous. However, I've found if you mix it in a shot amount of undiluted robinsons squash then the taste isn't overpowering and it's down the hatch easily and quickly. Yet you still get all the positive effects.
I've found this is a lot better than the tablets it seems a lot more potent and when taken in the morning it doesn't take long to give me that nice healthy feeling little buzz without any crash. Also useful pre workout for a little boost in the gym, I definitely feel healthier for taking this.
I also recommend MP's wheatgrass powder when taken with this in the morning that healthy feeling is fantastic, I get a nice little buzzGoes Well With:undiluted squash
- (15 / Mar / 2013)
When 1/4 teaspoon of Green Tea Extract Powder is mixed with hot water, it tastes better than green tea bags. I will be buying more!Goes Well With:hot water
- (11 / Mar / 2013)
I have been using this for 6 month now and I love it . I have replaced my morning coffees with the green tea extract and I think it has aided my weight loss ( I have know lost 3.5 stone ) . Goes great with a balanced diet and a good training program!Goes Well With:Thermopure
- (11 / Mar / 2013)
Bought this hoping it would be like green tea, there were a few issues, when mixing the powder it must be done with warm/hot water otherwise it will not mix, also instead of a green coloured tea you will get a red/brown coloured tea. It seems to taste fine however that colour seems to indicated that the all of the antioxidants have been destroyed in the production process.
- (07 / Mar / 2013)
The Green Tea Extract Powder is a great product. Currently using it twice a day mixed in with some protein and it's helped my gut. Would recommend to anyone who wants the benefits of green tea, but doesn't want the nasty flavour that goes with it!
green tea extract
- (06 / Mar / 2013)
I'm well aware of the benefits of green tea that is why I ordered this extract, but little did I know how truly horrible it tasted.
I tried mixing it in my protein shake, which just made my shake taste terrible. I can't see myself drinking this product because of the taste and don't envisage I will get used to it either, maybe I'm better off trying tablets instead
Goes Well With: nothing on this planet.
Green Tea Extract
- (06 / Mar / 2013)
The Green Tea Extract Powder is very disappointing compared to other brands I have used recently. The taste is terrible when I used it with hot water and the powder turned almost paste like on the spoon. One try was enough for me and I will not be suffering through a cup of this again.
Shane Hogg
- (11 / Dec / 2012)
I hate reading reviews about the taste of products as I would rather know what effects they have on the body. But good grief this Myprotein Green Tea Extract Powder was rotten, I think I'll be getting the capsules instead as I don't think I can handle the rest of the bag.

- (11 / Aug / 2012)
"This is great stuff. The reason people are saying it tastes bad is because they are mixing it with cold water. I don't recommend mixing it with cold water, because it does not mix very well, and just doesn't taste good. What i do recommend is to have it with hot water. It tastes great and is really soothing! I wasn't expecting any difference when taking this stuff, but it turns out that it really is beneficial! Despite eating a lot, to build muscle, i seem to be maintaining or even losing fat. I notice that my abs having become more visible aswell. You have to try this product, and if it isn't your cup of tea (sorry about that), well you've only lost around £5."
- (28 / Mar / 2012)
"Make a nice brew, use about a 1/4 of a teaspoon not a heaped one like I did, ooossshh it was powerful"
James Davis
- (24 / Mar / 2012)
"As with most "green" powders, don't expect this to be delicious. It's not. But the unpleasantness of the taste can be forgiven because the effects are worth it. Greater mental acuity, alertness, no caffeine crash, a good source of antioxidants and some definite fat reduction make this relatively inexpensive product a must. Recommend taking pre-workout. I can't reiterate how bad the taste is though – so be prepared. "
Bence Sardi
- (04 / Dec / 2011)
"I found this stuff absolutely essential. All of my shakes include half of a small scoop (so i think much more than the recommended dosage) of this powder. It is also very efficient against common cold with hot water (quarter of small spoon, somehow in hot water it is much stronger). which is a blessing in London where you get cold dozens of times a year no matter what you do."
Joseph Muskett
- (05 / Sep / 2011)
"This stuff is AMAZING!.. It tastes like the Devil's tounge scrapings BUT, it gives you boundless energy throughout the day and i think it's definately helped me with the fat burning part of my diet. If you're tired from having hardly any sleep it literally brings you back from the dead. Another benefit is i feel more cognitive at work since regularly taking it throughout the day and i can concentrate more in things like meetings where before my concentration used to slip. Rather than mix in it with fruit juice or have it hot like regular tea or mix it with a protein shake (tried all three when i got my first batch), i recommend just getting a large half tea spoon and mixing it up with half a glass of cold water and drinking it quickly (three times a day). The taste is a minor inconvenience to the benefits you get so might as well get that part over with quickly!"

smells like a horses stable. tastes pretty bad but has one of those addictive tastes...mixed with normal tea just tastes like a strong cuppa...good if you like strong brews
Marian Jonas
- (26 / Jan / 2011)
I used this product at the morning (500mg) and I couldn sleep after 18 hours!! I try it one more time and the same happened. After 18 hrs I can not sleep!! I dont understand it can work that long time?

- (09 / Jan / 2011)
here how i'm using this first thing in the morning i use empty can of red bull shot where i mix half small spoons of each ( green tea extract + grape seed extract + milk thistle extract + guarana extract + saw palmetto extract ) together in can . add 40 to 50 ml of water shake it well take it as one shot then drink any juice to stop the sensation of the taste the benefits its great mixture to balance the body and as a natural fat reducer and it boost so many functions which this box is not enough to fit them
Chris Ward
- (09 / Oct / 2010)
"I've been using this product for about 3 weeks, and if you use the recommended serving, it tastes just like any other green tea. I'm working hard at the moment, but I do think it has had some effect on my progress, plus it does give a bit of a lift at 6am!"
stephen hole
- (21 / Jul / 2010)
"Blimey the taste is intense! Like a complete idiot i thought i'd mix it wit a bit of my normal cup of tea as you do and it was like drinking an uber cuppa! So today i mixed a quarter teaspoon with some fruit, milk, protein and honey. You couldn't taste the stuff although the smoothie had a dryness about it but it went down a treat!"
tastes fowl!
- (01 / Apr / 2010)
"Great product, full of goodness & yes it tastes something horrid! I drink lots of normal pure green tea & i thought id be able to take the taste but it is mean!! Best results ive had to combat this is using honey & cinnamon.e.g 1 cup of green tea, quater tea spoon of this stuff & a tea spoon of honey & maybe a teaspoon of cinnamon to really mask it, taste's fine! makes the perfect energising morning tea."

|Sorry that the word confused anyone. On my browser it is spelt fianc? with a question mark. When I posted the story the edit page showed it correctly, what am I to do if its not handled correctly during the posting? Anyway the word is meant to be fiance, with the e accented.
I also apologise for any other errors you may find in the story, English is not my first (or my second) language. I still find that I often compose in Danish then translate to English, sometimes going through Russian on the way so grammar, tense and even meaning may get a little mixed up.
Thank you for your comments.

|Commentor below, you criticize with guesses based on personal experience. The story is true, I know because I was there whereas you werent. I surmise from your stated youthful experience that you never met anyone who had been hurt and betrayed and was in that situation where everything gelled at that moment. I had sometimes dreamed of living my life as I now do but up until that time it was just a fantasy and I had not the opportunity to make it a reality. You are entitled to voice your cynicism but please dont make me out to be a liar when all you know of my life is written above.

|I really love these people who assume they know everything about everyone (sarcasm). I wrote this story from personal experience and in a language foreign to me. I may seem to be quite illiterate in your language which it is my third following Danish and Russian and I have been speaking it less than four years but I at least know where commas and capital letters go and how to spell euphemisms. I can see that you cant say similar which is why being able to speak more than three languages makes a person illiterate in your eyes.
Your closed mind seems unable to comprehend that there are people born and raised beyond your national borders, people who do not have the benefit of your world class education system (sarcasm again). You should not assume that those poor and uneducated people you know so little about have the same expansive experience as yourself.

READER 2009-01-24 12:20:49. Sorry you didnt like my double translation, from, as I heard, a very accented English to Danish then back to English, thats how it sounded to me when I wrote it down.

|READER - 2009-08-27 01:45:09 -Thanks. Regarding my choice of words, I am unsure of the correct slang that is understood throughout the English speaking world where different countries use different terms that may not be understood elsewhere. I could have used cunt but that is too general and describes that whole area. I have also heard twat, box, honey pot, pussy, beaver, muff and more but I think that these are mostly colloquial words. It is a quandary so I used words that I use and know to be globally English.

KATV is pleased to bring a state-of-the art, personal
storm warning service to the Little Rock area.
Recent improvements in how the National Weather Service defines warning areas have resulted in significantly higher accuracy and smaller warned areas, compared to the decades-old county-wide warning method.
The WeatherCall® system continuously monitors the National Weather Service's NOAA weatherwire. Using computerized mapping ("GIS") the system compares a subscriber's specific location to the location of the warning area. When a severe weather warning includes your location, you will receive a phone call from Chief Meteorologist, Ned Perme, 24 hours a day. You can also receive the warning by email with a detailed map of the threat or by SMS text messaging.
Pike, Clark, Hot Spring, Montgomery, and Garland County's combined 3,543 sq. miles are named in a TORNADO WARNING.
The actual warning area is 496 square miles.
Only WeatherCall Mobile subscribers INSIDE the red box would receive the warning call.
WeatherCall is now available for your home or business,
or as a mobile service. Choose the type of WeatherCall
service that is best for you:

Costumes are prepared, logistics are finalized, attendees are reconfirmed – just some of the many preparations Havre de Grace officials and volunteers made earlier this week in final preparation for the city to receive thousands of visitors for the Attack on Havre de Grace Commemoration Weekend.
"It looks like it's going to be a successful event," Havre de Grace Mayor Wayne Dougherty said Monday.
The events, which begin Friday afternoon and last through Sunday afternoon, will commemorate Havre de Grace's involvement in the War of 1812, with a focus on the May 3, 1813 raid by British troops.
This weekend's War of 1812 events will coincide with the 32nd Annual Decoy & Wildlife Festival. About 125 artists, decoy carvers and others will be on hand at Havre de Grace Middle School and the Havre de Grace Activity Center on Lewis Lane.
The festival is presented by the Havre de Grace Decoy Museum. Events take place from 6 to 9 p.m Friday, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday and 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Sunday, according to the Havre de Grace tourism website.
There will also be activities for children, auctions, food and retriever dog demonstrations.
"That's also going to be a major event," said Dougherty, who explained that final preparations are being made for the decoy festival as well the War of 1812 commemoration.
The main event on Saturday for the War of 1812 festivities will be a re-enactment of the British raid on the city in 1813.
Despite efforts by local militiamen to repel the invaders, the British – who were under the leadership of Admiral of the Fleet Sir George Cockburn – prevailed.
The invaders fought the townspeople from the present-day location of the Concord Point Lighthouse and then battled through the city to the northern outskirts of town where the Susquehanna Museum at the Lock House sits today. The British took over the city and looted and destroyed much of it, burning all but a handful of homes.
'Lighthouse to lock house'
"This event is planned so it is from lighthouse to lock house," Brigitte Peters, tourism and marketing manager for the city and co-chair of the War of 1812 Committee, explained in an interview last month. "The event is happening right in the heart of our city." The lighthouse is at the southern end of the city and the lock house at the northern end.
British forces conducted similar actions in communities along the Chesapeake Bay in 1813 as a prelude to their campaign in 1814, when they sought the capture of Washington, D.C. and Baltimore.
Events will be held in those communities through next summer to commemorate the 200th anniversary of the various raids.
This weekend's events in Havre de Grace serve as the kickoff to the Maryland's Chesapeake Campaign commemorations.
"It's great for [Star Spangled] 200, to be the kickoff point [of the Chesapeake Campaign," Dougherty said.
Peters described the invasion of Havre de Grace as "one of the first major attacks at the top of the Bay, which all led to what happened at Fort McHenry in 1814."
The British were successful in taking Washington and burning the White House and Capitol in 1914 before moving north to invade Baltimore, where their troops were repelled at the Battle of North Point.
British naval forces were eventually stopped at Ft. McHenry at the entrance to the Baltimore Harbor. Despite an all-night bombardment, the American troops garrisoned in Ft. McHenry did not surrender. The sight of the U.S. flag still flying the next morning stirred Key to pen "The Star Spangled Banner," while being detained on a British ship where he had gone to negotiate the release of a friend who had been captured earlier in the conflict.
The National Park Service and the Maryland Heritage Areas Authority provided about $150,000 in grants to Havre de Grace city officials to assist with preparations for this year's commemoration.

NEW YORK — The police commissioner is hoping that police recruits nervous about upcoming exams on criminal procedure and penal law will relax and listen to their iPods.
In an effort to make studying easier on the more than 900 recruits, who must also master tests for strength, agility, and community relations before graduation on December 27, the police department is handing out iPods stocked full of coursework. The iPods will allow the police hopefuls to study without lugging around heavy textbooks.

Keep it Local
PSRP Reporter
Summer 2014
Feature Story
Fighting privatization to preserve community connections.
When Jackie McColister cranks open the door to her bus, she knows the children who climb up those stairs. A bus driver for 13 years in Hillsborough County, Fla., "Miss Mac," as she is known, notices who waits for the kindergartners at each bus stop, and she would never release any of them to a stranger. She recognizes the cliques and outcasts among the middle schoolers, and as a mother of five, she reaches out to her students as if they were her own.
Charles Johnson, a paraprofessional security adviser and mentor at North Dallas High School in Texas, has taken 38 homeless teens into his own home during his career. And at North Eugene High School in Oregon, head custodian June Blackwell cries every year at graduation because she's helped raise "her" students since ninth grade. She gives them bus fare when they ask, scolds them when they forget their manners, and lends an ear when they need it. "I love my kids," she says.
These personal connections are not uncommon: Our schools are built on the bus driver who distributes free books to her students, the secretary or cafeteria worker who gently disciplines a rowdy teen, and the teacher's aide who becomes a confidant to a troubled student. They are just a few of the many reasons why privatizing school transportation, custodial services, food services and security is a bad idea. But there are plenty more.
False promises
School districts that try to outsource services often think they'll save money by hiring an outside company. But studies like All Costs Considered, published by the University of Oregon's Labor Education and Research Center, show that costs often increase after outsourcing. And the price of privatizing reaches far beyond the pocketbook. Giving up control, sacrificing accountability and losing loyal workers is a higher cost than anyone should have to pay, especially public school students.
The truth is, private companies are, by definition, profit-driven, and they do not always put the interests of students or staff first.
Steve Wilson knows this firsthand. Now a member of the Oregon School Employees Association, he once worked for First Student, a private transportation company, driving a leaky bus that splashed water across the electric panel and onto his shoes—and that was usually "packed to the gills." Talk about distracted driving.
When he left First Student for the Parkrose School District, the difference was "like night and day." Now, his bus is never overcrowded, he knows his kids, and he works two blocks from his home. "We're one little happy family," he says. "On Friday, we're going to have a potluck."
It almost didn't happen that way: Parkrose came close to privatizing its transportation services earlier this year. To prevent that from happening, OSEA members plastered yard signs and bumper stickers everywhere, picketed and protested, attended school board meetings, and provided these statistics from the Labor Education and Research Center:
Fact: Driver turnover is higher in districts that contract out, meaning less experience behind the wheel.
Fact: For every 25 jobs contracted out, communities lose $165,000 in wages to local employees, $18,000 in state income tax revenue and $233,000 in local spending.
Privatization: A costly mistake
A recent report from In the Public Interest, Out of Control: The Coast-to-Coast Failures of Outsourcing Public Services to For-Profit Corporations, tells more of the story. "Outsourcing means taxpayers have very little say over how tax dollars are spent and no say on actions taken by private companies that control our public services," the report says. With no requirement to share information, private companies "perform public functions behind a veil of secrecy."
Such lack of accountability can be expensive. In 2010, food service provider Sodexo was accused of buying in bulk and pocketing the resulting savings that should have gone to New York school districts and the State University of New York. In Washington, D.C., Chartwells food service was contracted for 50 million meals for $42 million but delivered only 35 million meals for $49 million—less food for more money. And in Missouri, where private bus companies can perform their own vehicle inspections, an investigation has been launched into one company that discouraged managers from reporting safety issues like broken horns, radios and doors.
If private companies are able to reduce costs, those savings typically come at the expense of workers. In one case reported to a researcher from Rutgers University, food service workers in New Jersey were offered jobs with the private company that took over at their schools, but at $4-$6 an hour less than their former pay rates.
At Southwestern Illinois College, before the book store was outsourced, the store kept textbook costs low by buying books back at the end of the semester and offering used books at lower prices. But after the first year of privatization, textbook costs rose significantly, and despite promises to retain all employees, within eight months everyone had been let go. "Suddenly, they would come up with discipline issues, and the next thing you knew, [staff] had been fired," says Marcia Campbell, a member of the Southwestern Illinois Federation of Teachers and the PSRP program and policy council, and a former bookkeeper at the store. "With no union to advocate for them, the employees moved on to whatever jobs they could find in the area."
An ounce of prevention
The idea of privatization is so troubling that some locals are being proactive to prevent it.
When GCA Services Group, a private custodial company, began courting one Texas school board, Shelley Potter, the president of the San Antonio Alliance of Teachers and Support Personnel, sent a letter to the board members. "The San Antonio Alliance of Teachers and Support Personnel does not support privatization of district services," she wrote. "Our employees are invested in our district and our community. Many of our support personnel are parents or grandparents (or aunts/uncles, etc.) of our students. They have pride in the work they do because they know it impacts our students."
The alliance knew the stakes: In 2011, dozens of San Antonio custodians lost their jobs to an outsourcing campaign. Because the custodial staff was smaller, food service workers were forced to take on more cleaning duties, despite not being trained, leading to numerous injuries. The union tallied the disadvantages and won back the custodial positions.
This time, the union's strong relationship with the school board put it ahead of the curve. Just weeks after Potter's letter, the board passed a resolution against privatizing in general.
Similarly, the school board in Hillsborough County is considering a study on outsourcing transportation, but bus drivers like Jackie McColister are ready to fight. Iran Alicea, president of the Hillsborough School Employees Federation, says privatization would be "devastating."
"I don't think there would be that level of community and accountability [with privatization]," says McColister, an HSEF member. "All of us drive for different reasons, but the bottom line is most of us don't do it for the money."
Fighting back
In addition to attending board meetings and rallies, locals are meeting the threat of privatization in other ways. Some write privatization restrictions into their contracts, banning it or limiting it to certain services or time periods. Others work with local representatives to legislate limitations on privatization.
Partnerships with organizations like In the Public Interest strengthen the message against outsourcing as well. If you are facing a threat from privatization, contact AFT staff member Allie Lupico at email@example.com or 202-879-4582 to formulate a plan to keep it local.

Our mission : To help children reach their potential through professionally supported, one-to-one mentoring relationships with volunteers.

Press Release
January 2, 2014
Chillicothe, OH -- Big Brothers Big Sisters of South Central Ohio has formally aligned with Big Brothers Big Sisters of Central Ohio with the goal of providing the impact of one-to-one mentoring services to more children in Ross, Pike, Pickaway, Fayette and Highland Counties.
Under the agreement, effective January 1, 2014, Big Brothers Big Sisters of South Central Ohio will retain its staff, name and independent 501©3 status. The agency's Board will remain in place to provide vision, direction, governance and local support for the agency.
"The Board and leadership of the agency are very pleased to make this announcement," says Joyce Atwood, President of the Big Brothers Big Sisters of South Central Ohio Board. "Together, we are one of the largest Big Brothers Big Sisters agencies in the country! This alignment will allow our agency to stay focused on our local programming and fundraising, and we will be able to draw upon the resources of a larger agency for some essential office functions, including accounting and information technology."
For the children of South Central Ohio, there are many benefits. One example is their eligibility to attend Camp Oty'Okwa, which is owned and operated by Big Brothers Big Sisters of Central Ohio in the Hocking Hills. The 700+ acre camp, which served more than 5,000 children last year, combines educational opportunities with a camp experience designed to help children develop self-esteem, independence and leadership skills. Camp Oty'Okwa's programs are aligned with Ohio's academic content standards.
This new alignment with Big Brothers Big Sisters of Central Ohio is all about providing more South Central Ohio kids the benefit of having a caring role model and friend in their life to help them achieve success," says Christy Schreick, Executive Director of the agency.
Big Brothers Big Sisters of South Central Ohio serves children in the five-county area through its Community-based and School-based Mentoring programs. Its programs align with those of Big Brothers Big Sisters of Central Ohio, which served approximately 8,000 children last year through Community-based and School-based Mentoring programs in Franklin, Delaware, Union, Clark, Champaign and Madison Counties, and Camp Oty'Okwa. As part of Big Brothers Big Sisters of America, both agencies operate research-based, results-driven programs that have a proven impact on the children they serve.
It is obvious that the community is very supportive of the work of Big Brothers Big Sisters of South Central Ohio," says Edward N. Cohn, President and CEO of Big Brothers Big Sisters of Central Ohio. "We are looking forward to working with Christy and the agency staff; the Board; and the many dedicated volunteers, friends and supporters of Big Brothers Big Sisters of South Central Ohio."

Change time units of dynamic system
sys_new =
sys_new = chgTimeUnit(sys,newtimeunits) changes the time units of sys to newtimeunits. The time- and frequency-domain characteristics of sys and sys_new match.
New time units, specified as one of the following strings:
Default: 'seconds'
Dynamic system model of the same type as sys with new time units. The time response of sys_new is same as sys.
If sys is an identified linear model, both the model parameters as and their minimum and maximum bounds are scaled to the new time units.
This example shows how to change the time units of a transfer function model.
Create a transfer function model.
num = [4 2]; den = [1 3 10]; sys = tf(num,den);
The default time units of sys is seconds.
Change the time units.
sys1 = chgTimeUnit(sys,'minutes');
The TimeUnit property of sys1 is milliseconds.
Compare the step responses of sys and sys1.
step(sys,'r',sys1,'y--'); legend('sys','sys1');
The step responses of sys and sys1 match.
(Optional) Change the TimeUnit property of sys, and compare the step response with the original system.
sys2=sys; sys2.TimeUnit = 'minutes'; step(sys,'r', sys2,'gx'); legend('sys','sys2');
Changing the TimeUnit property changes the original system. Therefore, the step responses of sys and sys2 do not match. For example, the original rise time of 0.04 seconds changes to 0.04 minutes.
Use chgTimeUnit to change the time units without modifying system behavior.

It's Foodie Tuesday!
As the weather gets cooler, don't we crave more the warmth of hot hearty soups? Let's venture into exotic territory with these Asian classics. One thing these have in common is that they pack a punch in terms of flavor. They're not the soothing, comfortable types — they're passionate and intense, fragrant and fiery, rich and spicy. They make quite a food trip.
Another thing they have in common is that they're very complicated to make, if you're making them from scratch, because they either involve a lot of ingredients or a whole lot of steps. The good news is you can buy packets that can give you the real thing with very little time and effort.
Tom Yum
It's a classic Thai soup with fierce hot and sour flavors that make me perspire just thinking about it. It's smells heavenly — with a light freshness from kaffir lime leaves and cilantro, and the heady earthiness from the shitakes and whatever protein, usually seafood, that is in it.
Try making it from scratch or get tom yum mixes from Asian Home Gourmet,
This one's a well-loved staple in Singapore and Malaysia. There are many different variations on this noodle soup, but my favorite is the coconut milk based curry laksa. The soup itself is rich, thick, and creamy. It's spicy and has a riot of flavors from different spices in it. There's also a salty and seafood-y base flavor from prawns. Here's a recipe if you want to make it from scratch, or get it from a Prima Taste box.
Sinigang is basically a sour soup, and its variations are derived from the different sources of the sour component. My favorite is the tamarind-based soup, and though we had a tamarind tree in our backyard, I never saw my mom make sinigang old school — by cooking the tamarind to a pulp and straining the liquid through as sieve. The soup mixes are really quite excellent, and I grew up with this one made by Knorr, and available at the Filipino Store. But if you want to make it from scratch, here's a recipe. You can also try this sinigang from the Kitchn. The soup is made with either prawns, milkfish, pork, or beef, and a selection of vegetables — string beans, water spinach, radish, chilies, and taro.
It is basically a slow cooked pork bone soup. Literally, its name means, "meat bone tea". There's no tea in it though, but it is flavored with numerous spices such as cinnamon, cloves, star anise, and fennel — all wrapped in muslin that stays in the pot for the entire cooking process, and fished out just before serving. The tricky part in this is gathering the correct blend of spices, so using a store-bought ready-made bak kut teh spice bag is definitely a good way to go, and you can get it from Prima Taste. But if you want to conquer this particular mountain, here's an excellent recipe for making it from scratch.

Vegan MoFo Day 30: carnival squash, tofu & green bean Thai curry!
Tuesday, November 30, 2010 Leave a Comment
Welcome to the last day of Vegan MoFo 2010! It is also Milwaukee's first day of snow. It is also new "One Tree Hill" night, YES. (Spoiler alert: a monster truck runs over a wedding cake made of corn cobs in the first sequence. That is for real. Also this.*) I'm looking forward to catching up on everyone's blogs, which have been languishing in my Google Reader for a couple of weeks. Get ready for some random late commenting, y'all. I'm about to be wintered into my house for six months.
Recently, I picked up a carnival squash — a type of acorn squash — at the local farmers market. It was too cute and colorful to deny. So when B. said that Thai food sounded good for dinner tonight, I thought I'd try to make a dish I hear everyone rave about that I've never tried: squash curry. I've never cooked or eaten any kind of squash before, so this was something of a challenge!
The first thing I can report is that the inside of a carnival squash smells like a wet dog. The scent is warm and alive and kind of sodden, which I guess might be a good thing to some people, but not people who don't like the smell of wet dog. As I recently discovered, the inside of pumpkin still just smells like Halloween, totally innocuous.
The second thing I can report is that peeling an acorn squash is basically the worst kitchen task ever, and you should reassign it to someone else. Sure, I hate zesting citrus, scrubbing potatoes, and chopping broccoli (all those little nubs! :twitch:), but these mundane tasks are dwarfed by the quarter-hour of pain and frustration I experienced trying to remove the peel from half of an acorn squash. With an eight-inch chef's knife. I would strongly recommend against EVER peeling acorn squash if you, like me, suffer from the degree of carpal tunnel syndrome that leaves your hands wrenched into claws after you take ten minutes to write your
rent mortgage check. I had to take a break halfway through peeling the squash. Don't hate.
» 2 tbsp canola oil, divided
» 1/2 lb yellow or extra-firm pressed tofu, cut into strips
» 1/2 acorn squash, seeded & peeled (about 2 c)
» 1 c green beans, trimmed
» 1 tbsp red curry paste
» 2-3 kaffir lime leaves (optional)
» 2 cloves garlic, minced
» 1 tbsp ginger, minced
» 1 can coconut milk
» 1 tsp brown sugar, packed
» 2 tbsp vegetarian fish sauce or soy sauce
» 1-2 tsp Golden Mountain sauce (optional)
» 1 tbsp lime juice
» garnishes: lime slices, chopped cilantro, chopped peanuts, toasted cashews
Chop squash into 3/4-inch cubes. Half of a carnival squash yielded me 2 cups, chopped.
Heat 1 tbsp vegetable oil over medium heat and fry tofu until golden brown, about 4-5 minutes each side. Set tofu aside on paper towels to drain.
In a tall frying pan, heat remaining vegetable oil over medium heat, add red curry paste, and fry for 3-4 minutes.
Add garlic and kaffir lime leaves. Fry for about 30 seconds.
Add coconut milk, brown sugar, and vegetarian fish sauce/soy sauce. Whisk or stir to combine well, and bring mixture to a boil. Scrape down the bottom and sides of the pan to get all the good stuff.
Add squash and mix to ensure that it's covered with sauce. Reduce heat to medium-low.
Simmer for 20 minutes, stirring every 5 minutes or so.
Add tofu and green beans. Simmer for another 15 minutes, until squash is tender and green beans are cooked through. Stir in lime juice about a minute before serving.
Top with garnishes, if desired. Serve over jasmine rice.
The third thing and final thing I can report about cooking with carnival squash is that curried carnival squash tasted just like… curry. It had the approximate texture of a potato and next to no discernible taste beneath the delicious flaming hot sauce. I guess that's a good thing!
I'll be using the other half of the squash in another type of cuisine later this week in hopes of bringing out some of the flavor. See you then, and viva MoFo!

"The surface of the Earth is the shore of the cosmic ocean... Recently, we've managed to wade a little way out, and the water seems inviting." - Carl Sagan
M13: A great globular cluster of stars
M13 is one of the most prominent and best known globular clusters. Visible with binoculars in the constellation of Hercules, M13 is frequently one of the first objects found by curious sky gazers seeking celestials wonders beyond normal human vision. M13 is a colossal home to over 100,000 stars, spans over 150 light years across, lies over 20,000 light years distant, and is over 12 billion years old. At the 1974 dedication of Arecibo Observatory, a radio message about Earth was sent in the direction of M13. The reason for the low abundance of unusual blue straggler stars in M13 remains unknown.
