Aloo Gobi Recipe with Apricot Chutney and Cucumber Raita
Posted on 16th of March, 2011 by Lévana
Aloo Gobi Recipe with Apricot Chutney and Cucumber Raita
With this beautiful lineup of flavors, and accessorized as it is here with minted cucumber raita and apricot chutney (I am giving here a large chutney recipe, since it is as easy to whip up as a small batch: Plenty for you and a few Mishloach Manot gifts!) I guarantee you will never miss the meat. This aloo gobi recipe is vegetarian dining at its best! This is incredibly simple and nutritious, and leaves its restaurant counterparts in the dust. Humble ingredients, glorious dinner!
The trademarks of Aloo Gobi are potatoes and cauliflower, but there's no reason why you can't substitute celery root or parsnips for the potatoes if this is what you prefer.
¼ cup olive oil
6 cloves garlic
1 inch piece ginger
1 large onion, quartered
2 tablespoons curry
1 tablespoon cumin seeds (settle for powder)
2 teaspoons ground coriander
1 cup canned crushed tomatoes
1 cup coconut milk
Salt and pepper to taste
3 large potatoes, cut in inch cubes
2 cups canned chick peas, drained and rinsed
3 cups water
1 pound frozen cauliflower florets
2 cups frozen peas
Heat the oil in a large skillet. In a food processor, finely grind the garlic and ginger. Add the onion and grind coarsely. Add the mixture to the skillet and sauté until translucent. Add the curry, cumin seeds and coriander add cook one more minute. Add all but last 2 ingredients and bring to a boil. Reduce the flame to medium and cook covered 15 minutes. Add the cauliflower and peas and cook 10 more minutes. Serve hot with rice.

The recipe for Aloo Gobi sounds wonderful. If I use cumin powder rather than cumin seeds, do I use one tablespoon of the powder?

Lunch at Fuddruckers in Sioux Falls on Monday was delayed a bit after a dumpster fire stopped business for a couple of hours in the morning.
Sioux Falls Fire Rescue was dispatched to the Fuddruckers fire at 10:25 a.m. Monday. Fire inspectors say it appears to have started in a grease pit behind the strip mall to which Fuddruckers is attached.
Employees had to vacate the building because of carbon monoxide levels. They were not allowed in until the carbon monoxide levels go down and Fire Rescue approves it. Employees were able to return to work shortly after noon.
As of 12:00 p.m. Monday, the cause of the fire was undetermined. Inspectors with Fire Rescue are looking at surveillance video to help understand what started the fire.

Chris Brown didn't shy away when the DJ blasted a Rihanna song at an Orlando nightclub this weekend — instead, he proudly sang along with EVERY lyric … and TMZ has the footage.
It all went down at Club Vain on Sunday night during an NBA All–Star weekend finale party.
Chris was hanging on the main stage … with everybody looking at him … when Rihanna's "We Found Love" began to pump through the speakers … and Chris made sure everyone knew he's a HUGE fan of the song.
It's the latest in what seems like a public reconciliation between the two sides — earlier this month, the two collaborated on remixes of each other's songs.

Chris Brown and Rihanna just can't seem to stay away from each other, no matter how hard they try. According to a new report from our GG affiliates, both Chris and Rihanna were spotted partying at Greystone Manner last night. Chris even took to Twitter to subliminally tweet about last night's events:
Can't stop lookin
— Chris Brown(@chrisbrown) February 6, 2012
The report states the two arrived separately, but someone else in attendance last night claims the two not only were in the same club, but sang an old school tune together:
Greystone Manor was crazy tonight.. Rihanna & Chris Brown together.. Singing reunitedand it feels so good!!
— Supreme Level (@SupremeLevel) February 6, 2012
The full report from Global Grind is behind the click.

Chris Brown, Kelly Rowland, Cee-Lo, Christina Milian, and Jamie Foxx all partied it up in Hollywood at Eden nightclub last night(?). I'm going out on a limb here, but I'd say they're celebrating Kelly's album release (currently listening to it now, and enjoying every song) and the upcoming tour with Kelly and Chris.
Now, this may be totally reaching, but what about Cee-Lo touring with Chris and Kelly? I would lose my life. I would probably have to attend every show. LOL!

Looks like Chris Brown and Justin Bieber might be cooking a new collaboration for TeamBreezy and The Beliebers! Are you excited? I suppose some "Next To You" goodness can hold you over until we figure out just what they were recording. I'm sure Chris will tweet about it within the next few days. He's not really good at keeping stuff from us.

Welcome to the totally tropical sound of Seabright.
After a tip off at lor's headquarters we have been knee deep in Seabright's swanky synths and skittering, solid beats. As they swirl and chime, far off guitars and bitter-sweet vocal stylings sigh and stutter, creating a contemporary sound that feels like fond regrets, recalled in the pleasant warmth of the California sun.

Love Our Records presents Bitmap's Robots Of The World, Unite!…
That kettle in the corner, the vacuum cleaner in the cupboard. The tv remote laying there so innocently. Think of them as a shrew would be to a human. Evolution happens quickly in an electronic world, and as sure as the shrew would one day become a thinking, reasoning ape, the electronics and simple machines of today will follow their own evolutionary path. They will follow it to the logical conclusion and we will become the shrew.
A rallying call to our inevitable mechanical overlords, Robots Of The World, Unite! is a song from British lo-fi scientist, Bitmap.
This track is from 'Black Arts In The Town Hall' ep which can be bought for a pound on cd! recordmountain.bandcamp.com/album/black…e-town-hall
New Release - Mykie B
Love Our Records presents Mykie B's Jewish Mel Gibson. We have been playing this out in the clubs for a few mounths now and can safely say this is a big if not MASSIVE TUNE!
Every time it is dropped it drives people into a dancing frenzy!! We discovered Mykie B and we were shocked at how his sound of electronica and trap was not already reaching the masses on a monumental level. At only 16 , remixing for LOR between homework and hailing from Brooklyn , we are pretty damn sure Mykie has a very bright future ahead of him!
He also really loves pancakes and Hot Pockets. Not together though that would be weird. <3

September 16 2014 Latest news:
By DOMINIC BAREHAM
Monday, May 7, 2012
Two Norfolk towns are set to get nine new CCTV cameras in a joint initiative to reduce crime and anti-social behaviour and protect town centre businesses.
The system could be set up in Diss and Wymondham, which will each receive nine cameras, by the autumn so long as funding can be secured from the South Norfolk Community Safety Partnership.
In April, businesses in Diss agreed to the establishment of a Community Interest Company (CIC) to run the cameras, manned by volunteers.
Mike Pursehouse, deputy locality and communities manager at South Norfolk Council, said the cost of the cameras for the two towns would be between £65,000 and £70,000 and money would have to be found for operational costs.
However, he said money could be available through the partnership grant, while businesses wishing to be covered by the cameras would be asked to pay £10 per month towards the system's running costs. He added further cash could be coming from Diss Town Council, which was providing £5,000.
Volunteers responsible for manning the system will be based in their home towns, though Mr Pursehouse said they would have the option of switching towns if they wished.
He expected said much of the data from the cameras would be recorded, but volunteers may be needed to cover for busier nights, especially at weekends.
The aim of the cameras would be to reduce crime by deterring criminals, reducing the fear of crime to shop staff and members of the public in the town centre, creating a secure trading environment, increasing police detection rates by identifying offenders and giving visitors and residents increased confidence about visiting the town centre, which would raise the numbers coming in.
A Norfolk police report suggests installing CCTV could reduce crimes from 351 to 261 per year and save police £56,254.
Mr Pursehouse said he was confident the scheme would be a success, adding: "If businesses refused to take part then the system potentially could collapse, but once it is up-and-running and businesses see the benefit of it then it is very rare for it to fail."

There is something sick about the british psyche that seems to revel in spying on other people.Before these cameras are installed I would urge the powers that be to compare the cost to actual bobbies on the beat. These ugly monstrosities watching me whenever I visit an otherwise charming Norfolk town will certainly put me off going there,and give even more business to the internet,and I suspect many people feel the same way.To cap it all they are not foolproof because the image they often provide is not clear enough to secure a conviction.

Clearly we live Orwellian times, the nightmare of George Orwells 1984 is just a few years later in coming. What next? will we be tagged at birth? This is supposed to be an affluent country yet we cannot afford a proper police force, we have pretend policeman and security guards, and noisy people encouraged by the state to spy on their neighbourhood. Perhaps if we really were a wealthy nation and all that wanted real jobs full time jobs which actually paid a living wage without government top-ups people would feel connected with their locality.

TOKYO--Tokyo stocks rose Wednesday as encouraging U.S. retail sales data lifted confidence in the world's biggest economy.
The Nikkei Stock Average rose 386.33 points, or 2.5%, to 15,808.73, recovering from Tuesday's largest loss since August.
Better-than-expected U.S. retail sales data released Tuesday eased worries over the pace of the U.S. economic recovery. Such concerns were raised after dismal U.S. jobs data Friday.
"A gradual U.S. economic recovery will likely continue," said Mitsushige Akino, chief fund manager at Ichiyoshi Investment Management.
Semiconductor-related companies led the broad gain in various sectors. Kyocera gained 3.4% to Y5,088. TDK rose 6.8% to Y5,000. Tokyo Electron added 4.2% to Y5,813.
Still, Tokyo stocks didn't fully recover the ground lost Tuesday as investors remained cautious about the U.S. economic outlook and earnings results from the September-December quarter.
"We are soon entering earnings season ... It's difficult to take risk aggressively," said Hideyuki Ishiguro, senior strategist at Okasan Securities.
Among individual stock movers, GS Yuasa fell 0.7% to Y582 after Japan Airlines reported a battery malfunction on a Boeing 787 Dreamliner, a year after the jetliner was grounded worldwide for battery problems. GS Yuasa makes batteries for Dreamliner. Japan Airlines ended up 1.3% to Y5,300.
The news that Japanese conglomerate Seibu Holdings is looking to list in Tokyo some time in the next few months didn't appear to have any major impacts on its competitors. East Japan Railway rose 3.4% to Y8,206.
March Nikkei 225 futures closed up 2.3% at 15,780 on the Osaka Securities Exchange.

ABBOTSFORD, Wis (WSAU) A former Abbotsford teacher who is accused of having sexual contact with two students is no longer a fugitive. 26-year-old Andy Follen appeared in court Monday, where prosecutors claimed he contacted one of the victim by telephone and then via an internet game's "chat" function.
Prosecutors are considering an additional charge of intimidating a victim. Court records indicted he wanted one of the students to change her story to get charges reduced against him. He also tried to make arrangements to see her again. He's already facing five counts of sexual misconduct.
The judge raised Follen's bond to $7,500 cash, which he posted. He's been told not to use the internet while the case is pending against him, and to verify his whereabouts with the Clark County sheriffs department while awaiting trial.

Ask the Readers: Do Your Morals Cost You More?
Published on - September 21st, 2012 (by Ellen Cannon)
This is a guest post from personal finance writer Gwendolyn Pearce.
I'm considering building a chicken coop.
I'm thinking about this choice because paying over $5 for a dozen eggs seems ridiculous. Especially when compared to the carton of bleach-white generic eggs beside them for $1.04. But I take the $5 eggs every time because they are free-range and organic and (despite the debate on whether organic is actually better) I feel they are worth the price. I'm willing to pay five times the amount because I can't stand the idea of chickens crammed together so tightly that they can't move. I want my eggs to come from chickens that scratch and run and chase each other. Happy eggs come from happy chickens, right?
Hippie mysticism aside, buying cruelty-free products is a value for which I'm willing to pay more. But do I have to pay more? Is there a way to lower the cost so I can have my moral cake, er, soufflé, and eat it too?
Even if I used mostly found materials, my father-in-law's carpentry expertise, and my sweat labor, there is still, at minimum, the cost of chickens and feed. Not to mention the time commitment and the entire other discussion about possible chicken vet bills. Is this really any way to go about saving money? No, it isn't. My romantic notion that I could construct a chicken coop in the backyard of my suburban home, be knee-deep in eggs and have it be cost-effective was quickly dispelled by all my research.
So, I accept that this is an area where I have decided to pay the price that aligns with my values. I stopped complaining about the price of the eggs and embraced that I am making the conscious decision to spend my money in this way.
But let's take a look at another area of my life where my moral values regularly affect my pocketbook.
In 2010, Americans spent $33.3 billion (or 6.7 million cartons of free-range eggs) on cosmetics and beauty products. So, compared to what one could spend on department store cosmetics and fancy beauty creams, I didn't really worry too much about getting in and out of Target with all my products for just under $60. For this amount, I would have a three- to four-month supply of face cleanser, moisturizer, toner and night moisturizer and a small handful of cosmetics that easily lasted 6 months. But then, I began doing research on companies that conduct animal testing and discovered that, if I wanted to stick to my moral guns, I wasn't going to be able to shop the cosmetics aisles at Target or Walmart very easily. There are a couple of good options, such as Burt's Bees, Alba and Yes To Carrots, but I would certainly be paying more than I was paying and I wouldn't have near the selection.
How much more? Here's a cost breakdown of the products I would buy to convert my cosmetic collection from traditional to cruelty-free products:
(Note: all product comparisons are for the same amount of product)
Facial cleanser: $4.38 for 5 oz.
Toner: $5.39 for 7 oz.
Day moisturizer: $10.88 for 2 oz.
Night moisturizer: $14.67 for 2 oz.
Foundation: $3.92 for .28 oz.
Eye shadow: $10 for a palette of 4 colors
Mascara: $9 for a .3 oz. tube
Facial cleanser: $10
Toner: $13
Day moisturizer: $15
Night moisturizer: $18
Foundation: $27
Eye shadow: $30
Mascara: $18
It would cost me a grand total of $131! More than double the amount I was paying for the same amount of product. I think 118% is a high "trying-to-be-a-better-person" tax. If every decision that I make from a principled place instead of a fiscal one will cost me an additional 118%, I'll be broke in two months.
Since most of these cruelty-free products center around natural ingredients, this had to be an area where I could find some creative solutions to uphold my value but not pay more. Here's how I ended up (I've adjusted to match the quantities in the original cost out):
Homemade facial cleanser from castor and olive oils: $3.30
Homemade facial toner using apple cider vinegar, water and lemon juice: $0.56
Day moisturizer from store-bought aloe vera gel: $0.66
E.L.F. eyeshadow: $12
E.L.F. foundation: $22
E.L.F. mascara: $3
Night moisturizer: $18 (When it comes to night moisturizer, which has more complicated ingredients, and since I almost flunked out of high-school chemistry, I'm not about to go the DIY route! Nor am I having success finding quality cruelty-free products for less than the original solution. So, I'm adding that one back in at the original cost.)
Grand total: $59.52.
Not only was I able to uphold a value that I have made a priority in my life, I didn't have to spend additionally to do it.
While I certainly won't get rich from these decisions, this examination has made me acutely aware of how many consumer decisions I've been making on auto-pilot. An important tenet of GRS is to be cognizant of where our hard-earned dollars are going. If it's a dollar that we're not saving, then it needs to count for more than a dollar. Now my money counts for something a little more, I buy my supplies and, hopefully, I send a message.
I'd like to hear from the GRS audience: When do your morals cost you more? When has frugality won out and forced you to compromise something you would rather do differently if money was not an issue? What successes have you had in achieving both? And if you have a chicken coop, I want to hear about it.

(tl;dr on chickens – keeping chickens is great but don't do it to save money)
On the chicken question:
We've had chickens for a few years now and after tracking how much we spend on them, I know it's not a super cheap food option.
In terms of consumables, each egg cost us £0.17 last year (so roughly £2/$3.30 for a dozen, for free-range & happy but not organic eggs) — but that is not including any vets bills (thankfully none so far) or any fixed costs connected to setting up the coop/enclosed run, re-securing the run after an animal attack, and replacing the three birds we lost in that attack. Those things have totalled several hundred GBP£.
We could certainly buy local "happy" (not organic) ones for a similar price but still keep our feathered team because they're surprisingly fun, not that much effort really and it is lovely to know that they're VERY fresh and VERY local.
Giving spare eggs away has also generated a lot of good will – and we often get offered others excess produce/goodies in return.
Umm…Ellen, where do you live? If you live anywhere near Ann Arbor, MI – you can have free free range chicken eggs from my free range chickens I take them into work and give them away. We don't even eat that many eggs @ my house…we just like the chickens because they cut down on bugs and are cute and funny. We have duck eggs too.
Anyways, I buy $6.50 free range, non-homogenized milk as opposed to $1.99 Kroger milk. It tastes about 2 million times better and I know it's coming from free range grass fed cows. 325% difference in price. I'm not even sad about it. Like you, I'm trying to transition into caring about where what I buy comes from…I'm taking a butter/cheese making class at a local farm soon and am probably going to but a half cow for meat rather than buying at our local grocery stores. I also agree with a lot of what indio said. Most of our furniture is heirlooms or homemade barnwood furniture by my husband including our coffee table, TV cabinet, my desk, our bed, etc. People are just too quick to throw things away. He works in an expensive golf course subdivision, and garbage day there is his favorite…we get all kinds of cool stuff off the curb.
OMG duck eggs! :envies:
As a non-coop-haver, I really enjoy how many of our friends have extra eggs, and try to reciprocate with what I do have (applesauce, right now).
I buy the super-expensive organic coop milk, because I know a couple farmers who sell through it and want to support their efforts. It's a hard choice, though – an extra $2 over the other organic milk, even. But I was raised in farmer coop country (Land O Lakes has a factory in my home county) and I know it makes a difference in the places where the farms are, which are not so far from here.
Ok, this is too weird. I was just browsing the comments (since I was just thinking about eggs and chickens earlier today), and I actually DO live in Ann Arbor, NE side. It isn't often you see somebody else from the same city on these boards…
I actually go back and forth between the really expensive eggs from the awesome organic farmer that taste amazing ($5.25), and the cheaper organic eggs from a larger co-op ($3.99). So even within the happy animal/organic category there are distinctions…
Hey, I live southwest of Ann Arbor! ::waves::
So I get that cruelty to animals is bad and the article is about the cost of morals.
Yes, morals they do cost you more. In the broad view its the difference of life and death.
Every single pharmaceutical drug and many of the medical devices are tested on animals. And these are done by law (essentially the same laws that regulate cosmetics). But maybe that's the fine line, Human life?
Weigh in animal lovers!
Oh, and why bring a backyard chicken to the vet? If you have one rooster you could have 10 new chicks in a month. And if you hatch more roosters you'll probably have to kill them anyway (or give them away).
"Oh, and why bring a backyard chicken to the vet?"
Because seeing something that you love in pain kind of sucks? I know they aren't kids, and they aren't as smart/aware as dogs/cats, but I'm pretty sure most people that like an animal they have doesn't want to see it die a slow miserable death. I've had a chicken killed by a car, killed by a falcon in a particularly harsh winter (then I ate the falcon), 2 have died of what was likely egg-binding, and 2 have "disappeared" (although we did find one of those missing chickens bodies). It sucks. I would have paid to save all of them given the chance.
I highly recommend not taking your chickens to the vet, but otherwise you might come out ahead in cost, especially if you sell your spare eggs.
One thing to watch out for would be your HOA guidelines. Our covenants for example do not allow for livestock including chickens.
So the question is WHERE are you shopping when you buy these free-range organic eggs and cruelty-free cosmetics? Wal-Mart??
If you only have a few chickens, the expenses can be minimized. If they are free-range, you will only need a small night shelter. Chickens love your fruit/veggie/bread leftovers and scraps, so no need to buy store-bought feed. They provide you not only eggs, but pest control and great fertilizer.
I just started the oil face wash myself. I have noticed an improvement over the $9/bottle product that I had been using!
I explored the fancy free-range-local-organic eggs; even at $4-6/dozen they are a cheap source of quality protein. They taste lovely. But mostly I eat eggs hard-boiled – super easy to take to work or anywhere – and the fancy eggs were a pain; extremely difficult to peel, there were some other issues I can't remember. So I went back to the $2-3/dozen grocery store 'free range' whatever that means eggs… a decent compromise, I feel.
It's all about balance. (An apt post for equinox weekend! )
Hard boiled eggs peel much better if they are not from fresh eggs. Store bought eggs are often several days old before they are purchased, if you let the farm fresh eggs sit for several days they would be easier to peel after boiling.
If I had my own home with a yard, I would have chickens. I rarely buy eggs since I have a few friends who has their own chickens and sometimes gives me their eggs. Its hard to go back to store purchased (even so-called range or organic) once you've had the real deal. There is a difference between free range, organic and pastured. I prefer the latter.
In terms of my "morals" when it comes to shopping, I honestly don't think much about morals unless its in my face. I do buy grass fed, organic, local, wild (as opposed to farmed sea food) and so on but I'm think about my health first and everything else is secondary.
When it comes to cosmetics, most things I purchase by default are cruelty free, but I have to double check some the makeup brands I use.
When I budget, I take the cost of all of those things into consideration. If I can afford something I will go without until I can.
You may want to check the Monterey Bay seafood watch when purchasing seafood. Depending on the type of fish, sometimes the farm raised seafood is the better alternative.
Thanks for the heads up!
I became a "chicken farmer" last year when I decided to get into square foot gardening. The grasshoppers are bad where I live in the summer, so I bought a few chickens and guinneas at the farm store. Then 8 of my neighbor's guinneas showed up one day and didn't leave. I voluntold my husband to build a coop. Unfortunately, he took his sweet time, and the chickens spent the year in our fenced in backyard. We have 2 left from the original flock because some would fly out of the fence at night. Most were killed by coyotes or other animals, and our weiner dog got two of them. I now have 9 guinneas, 7 hens, one rooster, and two ducks. We lost a hen yesterday to a coyote, and the rooster is missing his tail feathers. We installed a solar automatic door opener, and it was opening too early in the morning. I think anyone could do a small setup in their own backyard as long as their pets would leave the birds alone, you have secure fencing, and the winters aren't too harsh. One could build a simple wind break and use 5 gal buckets for nests. It doesn't really require the investment many think it does. However, I found in my rural area that security was paramount to keeping my flock. My kids love having the animals around. The fresh eggs are just bonus. Oh, I rarely wear makeup because my skin looks better without it, and I use an SPF 15 moisturizer day and night.
GUINEAS!!!! :squeals: Man, this thread is making me nostalgic. Time to bust out the Murray MacMurray catalog…
Kauai has been overrun with chickens since Hurricane Iniki hit in 1992. We love vacationing there and renting a home near the beach. But, the roosters crow all through the night and they're everywhere. It has made us reluctant to return because we don't feel very rested after a visit.
If you do start a chicken coop, make sure to get advice on keeping noise down. I assume at least one rooster is desirable, but maybe that's not the case.
I stated the reason we so it is for our own health. The way we feel and the reduced medical costs are worth way more than saving the money. We'll easily cut corners on other budget categories to afford the food/products that nourish our bodies.
I like this article because it give an example how while, yes, sometimes sticking with your morals does cost more, there are often cheaper alternatives and other solutions to buying products that you find immoral, if you're willing to look.
I would say morals can definitely cost you. Definitely with clothing. Women often have to go out of their way to find clothes that aren't too revealing or bathing suits that don't show off too much. It gets tough with clothing.
Yes. But overall I think it is worth it. To support values you believe in with financial dollars.
You are so lucky that you are able to have a chicken coop and chickens. I've always wanted chickens, but never have been able to afford a place of my own where I'd be allowed to own chickens.
I don't think cost is an issue, where living creatures are concerned. The joy that soft, clucking pet chickens can give you far outweigh the costs, in my opinion (if you have the money to have a place for them)
Makes me sneeze and itch to even think about it! Better have a backup plan if someone develops allergies.
I promise, I won't let the chickens sleep in the bed with anyone, or get up onto the couch. ;P
This is such a wonderful post! I need to start saving money!These are wonderful suggestions that we all women should take under consideration. In fact, replacing your astringent for vinegar and lemon is actually very beneficial for your skin. This method will definitely save you money and keep you toxic free.
Day moisturizer? Night moisturizer? I didn't know there was a difference. I am not even sure what toner is? I guess I am not very girlie.
Timely question, although I'm going to take it in a slightly different direction. Over the last 3 months, I've been finalizing my divorce settlement finances, gotten a new job, and moved. The move meant that some of the settlement paperwork just didn't get done in a timely manner — something arrived that I was supposed to mail back if I didn't want to incur a tax penalty, and I didn't. It was a combination of not quite understanding a complicated legal document and being a little disorganized in transition.
After my move, a check arrived at my old address (despite address forwarding), and my ex-roommate eventually sent it on to me. This was the first that I actually realized that I'd missed a deadline and so had lost $17K to taxes.
My family suggests I should contact the folks who cut that check and ask them to take the check back and give me an extension on that deadline I missed, all because of confusion around the move. That retirement account stays with their company, I don't lose the money to the govenment — everyone should be happy.
My moral dilemma is that I do feel like I made a mistake and the tax penalty is just the cost of that, and I don't think I have a good argument to make. It feels like fudging the truth, but maybe it's no more than just making my case. But I legitimately don't know what the right thing to do is in this case. Thus my morals might cost me a rather significant chunk of change.
The government wants you to save for retirement more than it wants you to take a tax penalty. Seriously. The SSA spends tons of money researching how to get people to save more in their retirement accounts.
Make your case and everyone will be better off.

After a recount that has gone on since the November election, a Minnesota court today ruled that Democrat Al Franken received more votes than Republican incumbent Norm Coleman in the state's U.S. Senate race. Coleman has said that he plans to appeal the ruling to the state's Supreme Court, which "could mean weeks more delay in seating Minnesota's second senator. After a statewide recount and seven-week trial, Franken stands 312 votes ahead. Franken actually gained more votes from the election challenge than Coleman, the candidate who brought it." Gov. Tim Pawlenty (R) has said that although having just one senator is hurting the state's residents, he supports Coleman's appeals.
Minnesota court rules in favor of Franken over Coleman in U.S. Senate race.

- Position(s):
- Born:
- September 16, 1955
- Bats:
- Right
- Throws:
- Right
- Height:
- 6'
- Weight:
- 165 lbs
- Major League Debut:
- 4-05-1974 with ML4
- Allstar Selections:
- Hall of Fame:
- 1999
Originally a lanky shortstop, Yount built himself into a line-drive hitter who helped set the trend later adopted by shortstops like Cal Ripken, Barry Larkin, Alex Rodriguez, and Nomar Garciaparra. The Brewers drafted him third in 1973 – the Rangers taking David Clyde and the Mets selecting John Stearns in front of him. In 1974, at the age of 18, he became the Brewers regular shortsop, thus becoming one of the youngest everyday players in history. In 1975 teammate Henry Aaron called him the best prospect in baseball.
That talent was not an accident. Yount's older brother Larry was a longtime minor league pitcher who appeared in one game for the Astros in 1971. Robin had grown up with his two older brothers in California, where the family had moved when he was one year old. Yount had been born in Danville, Illinois. Prior to his selection by the Brewers in the draft, Robin declined a scholarship from Arizona State to play baseball.
An excellent athlete, in the spring of 1978 Yount quit baseball to attempt a professional golf career. Though he was a superb golfer, the experiment only lasted a few months before he was back in the lineup for the Brewers. Yount displayed his love for the vigorous life all through his career – racing motor bikes, go-carts and automobiles despite the concerns of Milwaukee management that he would break his neck – or worse. When he retired in 1993 he drove a motorcycle around the field after his last home game.
In 1982, Yount won the MVP award as he became the first shortstop to lead the AL in slugging and total bases. After a tight playoff race, he led Milwaukee into the World Series against the Cardinals, with whom the Brewers had made a blockbuster trade just a year earlier. In the Series Yount hit .414 and collected four hits in two games. He an Paul Molitor almost carried the team to the victory, but the Redbirds prevailed in seven games.
Molitor and Yount were teammates for 15 seasons beginning in 1978. They formed one of the most productive duos in baseball history. Though Molitor moved on and won a World Series title with Toronto, Yount never attained the pinnacle team reward.
In 1989, Yount won his second MVP, this time as a center fielder, a position he had assumed in 1985. Yount became the third man to win the award at two different positions,(Alex Rodriguez would later join this group). joining Hank Greenberg and Stan Musial. His 1,479 games at shortstop and 1,150 games in center field are the most by a player at two positions.Yount was the first AL player to win multiple MVP's in over twenty-five years, since the Yankees' Roger Maris (1960 & 1961) and Mickey Mantle (1956, 1957, and 1962).
On Sept. 9, 1992, Yount collected his 3,000th career hit, off jose Mesa, becoming the 17th player to reach the mark.
Yount was a model of consistency in the clubhouse and on the field in his two decades as a player. He was on the disabled list only three times in his career. He gave no quarter and he asked for none. He had no room for players who didn't hustle or weren't concerned with winning. A scout summed up his level of consistency when he mentioned late in Yount's career that he had been clocking Robin from home to first since he was a rookie and he had never been faster than 4.1 or slower than 4.2 seconds.
He was elected to the Baseball Hall of Fame in 1999, his first year of eligibility. That same year, he was included in the balloting for the Major League Baseball All-Century Team, finishing fifth among shortstops.
Yount holds Brewers career records for games, at-bats, runs, hits, doubles, triples, home runs, RBIs, total bases, walks and strikeouts. He was the last active major leaguer who was a teammate of Hank Aaron (1975–1976). Robin Yount's number 19 was retired by the Milwaukee Brewers in 1994.
Post Career:
Yount served as first base coach and bench coach for the Arizona Diamondbacks from 2002 to 2004. He resigned after the dismissal of Arizona manager Bob Brenly.[6] He, Hank Aaron, Warren Spahn and Bob Uecker threw out the ceremonial first pitches at the 2002 Major League Baseball All-Star Game at Miller Park.
In 2005, Brewers manager Ned Yost convinced Dale Sveum, a teammate of Yount's, to become Milwaukee's new third base coach. Yount followed suit a few weeks later, accepting a post as the Brewers' bench coach. In November 2006, Yount announced he would not return to the team as bench coach for the 2007 season. However, on September 15, 2008 Sveum, by now the team's manager, chose Yount as his bench coach.
Since retiring from baseball, Yount has increased his participation in two of his other passions—professional motorcycle and auto racing. In June 2008, Yount announced the creation of a new lemonade drink, Robinade. A portion of the proceeds of the sales goes to charity.
Yount was elected to the Wisconsin Athletic Hall of Fame in 1995.

Quick, someone alert Don Henley: it appears the boys of summer have gone. The worst part about it is that it isn't even June yet. At some point over the last six weeks you probably can remember how one player or another made you crazy and remember how they made you scream. Go ahead. Take a look at any of the box scores from recent Major League Baseball games. I'll wait. (It's not like I have anything better to do at the moment.) Big name signings like Jayson Werth (.228), Adam Dunn (.184), Carl Crawford (.210), and Vernon Wells (.183) have suffered a greater fall than Humpty Dumpty. Even guys who have been traditionally strong hitters have struggled, like Albert Pujols (.268), Raul Ibanez (.231), Magglio Ordonez (.172), and Justin Morneau (.204), not including the San Diego Padres, who started five guys on Sunday afternoon hitting .245 or less. It may take more than the king's horses and men (with a few million thrown in) to put these helpless schlemiels back together again.
If this continues, they might reconsider Mario Mendoza for the baseball Hall of Fame (the American one, he is already in Mexico's Baseball Hall of Fame believe it or not). Mario's baseball immortality stems from the fact that he carved out an eight-year baseball career while hitting a less-than-stout .215. From his uncanny ability to do what was necessary to avoid getting on base, the expression "Mendoza Line" found its way into baseball vernacular. So anytime a batter has an average of less than .200 (or less than George W. Bush's approval rating), he is said to be hitting below the Mendoza Line. Well if old is the new new and 50 is the new 40, then why can't hitting .200 be the new .300?

Mohammad Younis Khan (born November 29, 1977 in Mardan, North-West Frontier Province, Pakistan) is a Pakistani cricketer and current captain of the Pakistan national cricket team. Younis\' name is often spelled Younus Khan.He is only the third Pakistani player to score 300 or more runs in an innings. Younis Khan made his international debut in an ODI against Sri Lanka at Karachi in February 2000, and has since played over 150 ODIs for Pakistan. He has also played in over 50 Test matches. Younis was one of the few batsmen who retained his place in the team after Pakistan\'s disastrous World Cup campaign in 2003, but lost it soon after due to a string of poor scores in the home series against Bangladesh and South Africa. He came back for the one-day series against India, but failed to cement a place in the Test side. It was his return to the side in October 2004, at the

On friday, I went to school in my Grell cosplay. On friday, I wanted to celebrate a fun day with some friends I met at a convention who are attempting to put on a nearly impossible show. On friday, I went to school expecting a few strange looks, confused questions, rude comments, and maybe even a few laughs.
What I didn't expect was that I would be attacked by someone that I had never even seen before.
Jesus….that's too much, what the fuck is wrong with people nowadays…i swear to god if i saw that too many people would be getting their asses kicked…As a cosplayer myself, i wouldn't stand for something like that…

Tip-top convertible roof installation
Not all cars are equal, nor are their convertible tops. No-frills cars are likely to have relatively simple tops, but luxury cars often have more complicated tops, such as the roof covering on the featured 1984 Buick Riviera convertible. Installing one of these tops is no easy task, so replacement of this top was trusted to a professional, D. Chase of Chasin' Perfection. More

Today I woke up, looked in the mirror and saw a...
Today I woke up, looked in the mirror and saw a pimply/pizza face/all the words to describe a teenager suffering from acne, everyone day its basically like this, I look around to all my friends and ask myself my cant I have a face like that.. I tried everything, honey mask, cleaners, pro-active, everything, i just want that movie star clear face.. Over these past months I've been really insecure about my face, going out, meeting new people, I just can't.. I always walk around thinking everyone looks at me with disgust, yes I do have a girlfriend and she is amazingly beautiful, can't believe how she can stand my face. Blah aha; sounding really negative but this is what runs through my mind, I'm a really outgoing person though, I'm physically active, I jog 5km a day, kick boxing 3 times a week, work out 4 times a week, and my personality is fun aha; enough with my life story though, but today I hope is the best decision I make, I'm taking 40mg pills a day starting today, I don't care what happens, I'm desperate for that clean face so I can walk around with my girlfriend looking like a cute couple, going for a walk not worrying how I look and having no worries, I hope this is understandable because first appearance is the best for me.
1 Month of Accutane
Haha I'm proud to say my acne is clearing up! In two weeks, the pimples that were there had come out and popped, my face is really starting to clear and I'm getting that motivation back where I can be more social and be happy with myself... Yes I can admit I did drink once with accutane, the next day my scars have become more red, I felt more nauseous, my belly starting having stings, I don't know if it was because of that but I'm not risking it again. Side affects, yes I do get dry lips, very easily! After I workout or in school my lips get dry and peeling, especially the top and bottom of the lips, my body seems to be slightly peeling, I think I get muscle aches, I do workout hard while on accutane, ive notice my emotions have boosted really a lot, I get happy easy, sad easy, mad easy, and I know it's because of these pills but I can deal. So far so good, going for another month with the same dosage 40mg, hopefully my face gets more better!

I posted this on someone else's post as well but its important info. While on Accutane, get an Accutane survival kit! It is crucial. Items include: Aquapher. It comes in a tube like toothpaste does. Use on lips at all times to help prevent cracking and chapping. Aveda Lip saver with SPF 15 is also a good product but a little pricey. Lip chap and balms will not work. A mild moisturizer ( what ever bottle brand ) and a thick moisturizer like Nivea that comes in the blue jars as your going to start peeling a lot. You might be tempted to exfoliate but don't. It can make your skin angry! Spectro care intense moisturizer if you break out in eczema rash. That stuff will make the rash go away in a day or two. Eye drops like natural tears 2. Stay away from Visine. Head and shoulders. Yep .... incoming dandruff. There are also two rules when on Accutane. Number one: no drinking alcohol. Your liver is going to be under stress. Alcohol will make it worse. Rule number two: You must remember to drink plenty of fluids. Especially water as it helps flush toxins. Accutane dries you from the inside out but also robs you of joint and cerebral fluids. You must replenish these fluids. Basic rule is .. if you pee yellow on Accutane .. your not drinking enough. If you pee clear .. your doing ok. If you don't replenish these fluids it leads to serious joint pain and headaches. Its going to be a big change in skin type from were you are now, to being a dried up prune and having this stuff in your arsenal is going to make Tane a lot more bearable. Don't get discouraged during any part of the treatment. Its normal to "purge" for the first month or two as the Accutane forces acne to the surface of the skin. Its also normal to have a flare up or two during the full course of treatment. Wear sunblock!!! Even if you don't burn, Accutane makes you very sensitive to the sun. If it doesn't work the first time.. its ok. It is normal to have to do a second or even third treatment of Accutane. And last, Take pictures, even if you never plan to share, to track your progress week by week.

I'm so sorry that your acne is on your mind so much. From what you have described other people are obviously able to look past it and enjoy being with you, but of course I know that doesn't change how self conscious the acne can make us feel.
Now that you are a few days in to your treatment, how are you feeling?
- Reply
I was just browsing through the Internet debating if I should stop, was concerned about being depressed or any of the harsh side affects but soon enough i found out it's like a 5% chance to happen so I'm going to continue on. I looked into what I needed such as washin remadies, using Cetaphil cleanser and moisterizer starting today, other than that the treatment seems to be working, I haven't had that harsh break out side yet just some minor break outs, I feel more confident around knowing this treatment should work 90%.

How's it going so far? I'm thinking about using Roaccutane too but a little worried about the side effects, and the fact that I'm not allowed to take alcohol as it already is damaging to the liver =/
- Reply
You know what man, it's actually really clearing my face hah! I'm really happy about it man, but don't, I just recently drank on it, 2 days ago, I feel more nauseated after I eat, I don't know if its because of the drinking but Still don't I got red marks on my acne scars, don't risk it, it's bad enough you have a lot f side effects to go through while on accutane, but do it, it's working for me, I'm just waiting till next week to write my review

Marketplace Meditations 3/6
Appearing to the Little Child
March 6
"At that time Jesus said, 'I praise you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because you have hidden these things from the wise and learned, and revealed them to little children. Yes, Father, for this was your good pleasure'" (Matt 11:25-26).
It was a typical Sunday morning church service. Twelve-year old Jordan was deaf. She was the daughter of the pastor and took her regular first row seat opposite her mother across the isle. She liked to sit with her friend on the front row even though she could not understand the message without a sign language interpreter. On this day, there was no interpreter for the service. However, sitting next to her were her friend and her friend's mother, and they both knew sign language.
They often had visiting preachers at their church. This day, the visiting preacher asked people to come forward to be prayed for. The message that day was on "Getting into the River of God."
Jordan asked her friend if she saw what she was seeing. Jordan's friend asked, "See what?" Jordan replied, "The angels and Jesus!" The friend said, "Where?" Jordan again pointed to the platform. "There! By the guitar!" It was then that her mother saw the girls talking. Pattie knew her daughter was seeing something because of her face and her reactions. Jordan never took her eyes off the platform. Jordan began describing what she was seeing to her friend's mother who then began telling Jordan's mother what she was seeing. Jordan was seeing Jesus on the stage and a host of angels surrounding Him. Jordan described the scene in every detail. As Jordan looked on the stage at Jesus who was standing behind the minister, Jesus looked back at her and signed to her, "I love you."
Jesus appeared often to the disciples after His resurrection. Over the centuries, there have been reports of personal appearances of Jesus to both believing and unbelieving individuals.

Salt Lake City, UT (Sports Network) - Kobe Bryant quickly put one of his worst playoff performances in the rearview mirror, hitting 16-of-24 from the field for 38 points to lead a balanced Lakers club to a 108-94 drubbing of the Utah Jazz in Game 4 of their Western Conference quarterfinals series.
In Game 3's 88-86 setback, Bryant sank a woeful 5-of-24 for 18 points, but the former MVP showed his full arsenal on Saturday to pace Los Angeles to a 3-1 lead in the series, which the reigning West champs can close on Monday at home.
Six other Lakers had at least nine points in the lopsided affair, with Lamar Odom logging 10 points and 15 rebounds and Pau Gasol adding 13 and 10 for the victors, who shot 51.9 percent from the field.
Deron Williams and Carlos Boozer carried Utah. Williams played nearly 46 minutes, depositing 23 points and 13 assists, and Boozer scored 23 points to go with a game-high 16 rebounds.
The Jazz welcomed back Mehmet Okur, but their second leading scorer logged just 13 minutes and went 0-for-3 from the floor. The center missed the first three games of the series with a strained right hamstring.

Editors note: this story originally ran in The Salt Lake Tribune July 15, 2001.
America's United Nations-free zone starts near the mouth of Zion National Park, takes in a few stucco homes, an alfalfa field or two, some shops, cows and horses and peters out part way though Utah's Virgin River Valley. It is country as lovely as it is rugged and blunt.

Early Mormon pioneers fashioned a congregation here, led by men such as John D. Lee, a fiery zealot executed for his role in the Mountain Meadows Massacre. In 1857, Lee and the Mormon territorial militia raided an Arkansas wagon train near Enterprise, a city about 50 air miles from La Verkin and Virgin.
Nearly 144 years later, Lee's great-grandson, Virgin Mayor Jay Willard Lee, is leading a raid of another sort.
Based on deep concerns that the federal government, environmentalists and the United Nations want to rob southern Utahns of land and water and subvert myriad constitutional rights, Lee is shepherding a movement to ban the global organization, arm neighbors and outlaw wilderness activism.
The latest salvo came on the Fourth of July, when the La Verkin City Council passed an ordinance declaring the city a U.N.-free zone. Virgin's council is considering a similar statute.
"The U.N. wants the Virgin River," Lee says. "The global elite are using the United Nations and organizations that were set up to help the environment to lock up private property. It's time to fight back."
While efforts here may be novel, they are influenced by an enduring mix of sagebrush rebellion, constitutional devotion and old-time Mormon millen- nialism.
The John Birch Society, a conservative organization whose Cold War clout has withered, still thrives in La Verkin, Virgin, Toquerville and Hurricane, towns linked by a river and a road.
"I'd say 90 percent of the people pushing this are John Birchers," says Toquerville Mayor Charles Wahlquist, who opposes the anti-U.N. ordinance. "Or they used to be."
City leaders also share ancestors, grandchildren and church duties. Lee and two of his city councilmen constitute a municipal quorum and used to serve in the bishopric of the Virgin Ward of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. La Verkin's elected officers show a similar mingling of church-civic authority.
In Toquerville, at a recent LDS sacrament meeting, Ned Snow denounced the United Nations in a rousing speech, the sort of church-pew partisanship frowned on by LDS Church leaders in Salt Lake City.
"When the Constitution is hanging by a thread, [the LDS Church] will save it," says Snow, a Toquerville auto mechanic and Vietnam-era veteran. "That day's not far off."
The LDS Church rarely takes an official political position or comments on matters before the United Nations, LDS spokesman Dale Bills says. "Church members who hold public office and individual members who cite church doctrine, practice or belief to justify their views on public policy do not speak for the church."
One senses that Lee, 56, enjoys the publicity that has consumed his city since it enacted a measure last year requiring heads of households, with a few exceptions, to own guns. He offers free "Virgin" T-shirts to reporters and has become a darling of conservative talk-radio shows.
While some of Lee's closest friends disagree with his political blueprint, naysayers have been unable to dissuade a bloc of city bosses from proposing increasingly isolationist laws.
"They have this sky-is-falling, everybody-is-out-to-get-us mentality," says Gary McKell, a state game warden and La Verkin councilman. McKell was one of two council members to vote against a ban on displaying U.N. symbols on public property that also orders residents who work with the international organization to post a sign.
Under pressure from Utah's attorney general and civil libertarians, Lee and his brother-in-law, La Verkin Mayor Dan Howard, have reaffirmed that the "U.N.-Free Zone" is symbolic. Still, violators can be prosecuted and two part-time La Verkin police officers resigned in protest.
"It's an isolationist view and we don't need it," says LaMar Gubler, owner of the Sunrise Market, a morning gathering place in the middle of La Verkin. Gubler keeps a copy of the ordinance on a store counter for customers to read. "You could go to any place in rural America and find the same sentiment."Next Page >

PdfBox and IKVM are not new, but I found them very useful for a recent project, and decided to walk through a very basic introduction tutorial. Feedback and constructive criticism greatly appreciated. Also, I "discovered" iTextSharp after building a recent project using PdfBox. I recognize PdfBox comes with some heavy performance penalties. iText looks cool, but seems to have a higher degree of complexity. Anyone used both, and have comments about the comparison?

The Truth About Roger Goodell's NFL Crusade Against Bounties & VilmaI've been studying old films and photos of NFL games in the 1933 and 1934 timeframe. The FIRST official NFL Championship game was won by the Chicago Bears vs. the NY Giants. The game was played at Wrigley Field in November, 1933.
That was the leather helmet era. Players did NOT use their heads to make contact back then. When they made a tackle, they turned their head to the side, put their shoulder into the runner's midsection and turned their face away from the contact.
My point is this: if the NFL prohibits all future head contact because it thinks it needs to do this to save the game, then, pro football will survive.
THIS era of using the helmeted head to administer hammer-blows probably should end, for the good of the game.

Will Les Miles Stay or Go?
Rumor is Les Miles told him to take a hike, although he denies it...
LSU offensive coordinator Gary Crowton accepts job with Maryland | NOLA.com
Quote:Crowton insisted he was not fired or even asked to look for another job, despite media reports to the contrary. He came under fire from LSU fans for an offense that struggled throughout the season, particularly in the passing game

Will Les Miles Stay or Go?Gary Crotchton is leaving though ...

Will Les Miles Stay or Go?Good. I have been down on Miles myself at times when strange plays has been called o even stranger clock management decisions have bn made. However he is one of the best in the business. If LSU only can get the QB position solidified there will be another National championship.

Really liked it! Very fresh, light taste. I bought fish sauce specifically for this recipe and it smelled very alarming, but when it's all mixed in it tastes wonderful.
Lump Crab Salad
Lee Harrelson
This easy Lump Crab Salad is great for a fresh and delicious summertime meal.
Though it can be expensive, crabmeat is great for quick and delicious dinners. Substitute canned lump crabmeat for fresh, if you prefer, but avoid using regular canned crabmeat; the meat is too flaky for this dish. Rinse canned crabmeat for the best flavor.
