Was having a browse through the RSS feed this morning and I came across a great post from the Uncataloged Museum, which brought me to something cool from the BBC. Here they both are for your reading pleasure:
The Uncataloged Museum: Do You Need Every Single Thing? "Often when conversations about new museum initiatives come up, the reason for inaction is that there's too much to do and not enough funding. I won't argue with the fact that right now is a really stressful financial time for every organization, but I do want to propose that perhaps, local history museums own too many meaningless objects—and that paying attention to meaningful objects will give us more time, more money, and more connections to our community."
BBC: A History of the World in 100 Objects. (How would you ever pick?)
From cbc.ca:
The replica ship Hector will be back in Pictou this week after its absence last year led to a decline in visitors to the Nova Scotia town.
The town did not open the Hector Heritage Quay last year, saying it could not afford to run it anymore. A group of volunteers took over and plans to bring a refitted Hector home Tuesday.
Great news! The Hector is prominent in my childhood museum and heritage site visit memories.
I would love to read this book!
Die in a fire spambot that keeps sending this to me over and over! >:O08.10.11
Nina Simon is right- we need to re-claim the term "word class museum".

Terrible staff, absent when needed, and not professional when present
The design is old-fashioned italian, very cozy but with large areas Very beautiful view and we didn't even hear the traffic
Breakfast is simple and it is difficult to find it (piazza bovio 22, 4th floor with the elevator on the right)
The location is good
- Noise from the street all night long; - Staff does not speak english; - the hotel is very hard to find, staff didn't answer email about parking, what could save us time and stress; - bed and pillows are horrible, put it together with the noise from the street and you will have a terrible night of sleep, as me and my wife had; - furniture is old, uncomfortable, and bathroom equipments are even worse.
The location! Next to the metro, cafes, restaurants & close to the port. Spacious, elegant room with a view of the city. Breakfast was mainly croissants etc but some cereals, fruit & yogurt. Staff made us very welcome.
Air conditioning was a bit erratic
Excellent location and friendly staff.
The breakfast could be better.
The hotel is situated in one of the best locations in Naples (which is really something to be careful about). You can walk alone even at night. It is close to Via Toledo and other places to visit and also right next to bus and metro stations and easily reachable from the port and the train station. A special remark for Salvatore - very kind and helpful, grazie mille!
As others have said, it is quite noisy at night from the traffic in Piazza Bovio.
The hotel is conveniently located in an elegant palace very close to Via Toledo, the port area as well as main amenities in the historical center. Very convenient to access public transportation to the airport. The bed was comfortable and the room clean. Salvatore, at the reception, was very helpful giving us plenty of tips and allowing for a slightly late breakfast, with fresh croissants, real cappuccinos and fruits.
The shower in our room was rather old and could really enjoy a refurbishment. The furnishing of the halls is rather old and kitsch, would be good to opt for something simpler, more up-to-date and fresh.
good location
noisy street side
Solo traveler
Nice view to the street.
If your looking for privacy and quite rooms this is not the place. Breakfast was too little variety.
We loved our stay at Bovio Suite! The personel is amazing, the hotel is beautiful and perfectly situated. Rooms are spacious and there is free wifi. We recommend Bovio Suite to everyone who wants to stay in Napoli.
it's a little noisy when people are loud in the hallways
Solo traveler
- nice authentic atmosphere - no standardized uniform chain - helpful and welcoming staff
Excellent location, with access to the port and city center Payed only 49 euro / 1 night, for conditions which are almost 4* Great building, a place to see in itself Great staff, welcoming and aware of our arrival, although the reservation had been made on a short notice (3-4 hrs) Nicely decorated room with big windows and a great view of piazza bovio
Nothing to complain about
location was good, room size not too bad, but no storage.
Communication with staff, particularly the doorman was poor. breakfast was poor, nothing else was good.
A small B&B near the port, the historic center and the University metro stop. Very kind staff, always available for questions.
I would prefer a cleaner bathroom as the shower was not draining properly and there were signs of mold on the tiles.
Location was really close to the historical center of the city, which is something really useful, since if you want to visit the town you better try to walk as long as you can, to catch up all the possible places to see. The building is really nice, early '900 structure, tall ceiling and huge marble stairs at the entrance. Staff was perfect and the bedroom had everything you need.
Our bedroom overlooked on Piazza Bovio & Corso Umberto I, so it was quite noisy.
Good location, even if somewhat noisy. Good-sized room.
Minimal room for storage or hanging clothes.
The location was great, very close to Port as well as great view down Umberto and Piazza Bovio. Could've been difficult to find had I not read in other posts to go to the building in which horse's tail was pointing to! There was a private driver that the owner arranged for us to get to the airport at 4:00AM, for 20Euros this was a great deal. He was on time and very helpful. The room was sweet and clean, nice bedding and bathroom.
There were people also staying at Bovio Suite who were up all night. We heard everything: talking, laughing walking around, in and out of doors, we didn't get much sleep. Bovio Suite allows smoking which was bothersome since neither of us smoke and the smoke infiltrated our room. The shower had poor water pressure and either very hot or cold water which made my shower and washing my hair challenging.
The view was great.
staff attitude: generally unfriendly (except the young lady that prepared the check out); noise: the room was on the main street and, in the evening, there was a huge noise: if you book there a room on the internal courtyard is absolutely necessary.
good position; near to metro station and railway stations; kind staff; with airconditioning; tasty and abundant breakfast
strange smell in the shower
The hotel is centrally located and is just a straight shot to the train station. Breakfast was quite good. We were provided a map of Naples when we checked in. We were provided the option of leaving our luggage there after checking out so we could explore the city without having to carry everything.
We chose to stay here because it was centrally located and not right next to the train station, where we read the bulk of the crime in Naples is. The staff was pleasant. Although the woman working the breakfast room seemed to have a bad attitude - slamming cups and acting put out that she had to serve us coffee. The air conditioning in the room did not work well at all. A decent a/c unit is a MUST if traveling through Italy in the summer. We actually opened the unit and took out the filters, which helped a bit.The bathroom would get stuffy and hot and had a strange smell. The walls are thin so you can hear the TV next door. The common areas have not been maintained well. The wall paper is pealing at most of the seams and is faded and dingy. Hotels in Naples are typically quite a bit cheaper than other cities in Italy. You can probably find better value if you book somewhere else.
Location Close to port
would like some soft bread for breakfast

Recipe: Modified "Boiled Lobster" from "The Art of Simple Food" by Alice Waters. We used the "Crab Sandwich" from "Tartine Bread" by Chad Robertson as our recipe for the lobster sandwiches.
Rating: Great.
Status: William made twice.
Yield: 4.5 pounds of lobster gives about 1 lbs of unshelled meat and makes 4 sandwiches.
This isn't a true Maine-style lobster roll. Let's call it a California version of a lobster roll since it is served on a toasted croissant and has diced cucumber (we used 1 Persian cucumber, since it is seedless and small), tarragon, lemon zest, mayonnaise, and whole-grain mustard; we left out the chervil and poppy seeds that the recipe suggested. The tarragon adds a nice bright unexpected herb flavor--we really liked this herb in this sandwich.
We bought our 2 lobsters from Sun Fat Seafood Company in the Mission neighborhood of San Francisco.
4.5 pounds live lobster
1 small cucumber
a few tarragon stalks
zest of 1 lemon
2 Tbsp mayonnaise
1 tsp whole-grain mustard
(optional) 1 tsp toasted poppy seeds
4 croissants
Find a very large pot which is large enough to hold a lobster. Fill with salted water and bring to a simmer (a rolling boil will toughen the meat). Immerse one lobster at a time, head first, into the water and let cook for at least 7 minutes (large lobsters will need more time). Use tongs to remove the lobster and cool under cold running water to stop the cooking. Repeat with the remaining lobsters.
Shell and remove the lobster meat once the lobsters are cool. Set lobster meat aside. Optionally you can save the shells to make stock.
Peel, seed, and finely chop the cucumber. Remove the leaves from the tarragon stems; discard stem. Mix the mayonnaise and mustard in a large bowl. Stir lobster meat, cucumber, tarragon, lemon zest, and (if using) poppy seeds into the bowl with the mayonnaise mustard mixture. Taste and if the salt and seasonings aren't flavorful enough add more to taste; if the lobster salad is too mild and under flavored, you can squeezing in a small amount of lemon juice to add some bright acidity. Sometimes the lobster can taste mild at first; if you give it some time in the refrigerator (an hour or more), it will absorb the flavorings. You can refrigerate the salad for up to 1 day.
Split croissants in half. Heat a cast iron or other heavy pan on medium. Melt enough butter to lightly coat the bottom of the pan (1 Tbsp or so). When the butter bubbles, toast the croissants in the heated pan.
Spoon the lobster mixture onto the bottom half of each croissant and cover with the top half. Serve immediately.
To make stock from the lobster shells:
This process is very similar to making shrimp stock.
Reserve the tail shell, head shell, claw shells, legs, and white fat after picking out the meat for another usage. Discard the lungs and the green colored tomalley (insides). Lobsters are to be a lot cleaner than crawfish; the shells only need to be rinsed if they look dirty (most likely they don't need rinsing).
Add the reserved shells and some aromatics (e.g. bay leaf, thyme, a few garlic cloves, shallot or onion). Cover with cold water. Bring to a simmer. Keep at a bare simmer for 1 to 3 hours.
Shrimp Stock
Sunday, June 09, 2013
Recipe: My own recipe, based on generic recipe available from many sources.
Rating: Good. Easy and quick.
Status: Made many times.
If you buy shrimp with their heads and aren't going to cook them whole, then you should make shrimp stock. You can also make shrimp stock with just the tail shells, if you don't have the heads, though the stock will be less rich.
Shrimp heads (amount is variable)
Shrimp tail shells (amount is variable)
cold water, enough to cover ingredients
(optional) aromatics, such as onions, parsley stems, garlic cloves, bay leaf, celery, carrots, etc
Lightly rinse the shrimp before cleaning them. Save the heads and tail shells when you are cleaning shrimp (don't re-rinse). Discard the intestines. The stock should be made immediately after you clean the shrimp, so that the shells are fresh. Add the shells to a heavy soup pot which holds them comfortably. You can add all of the same aromatics and flavorings that you can add to chicken stock, if you have them (they are okay to omit). You can also use many of you vegetable peelings (onion skins, garlic skins, celery ends, tomato skin, etc). Cover the ingredients with cold water.
Bring to a boil, and keep at a bare simmer for 20 minutes to 1 hour (I usually simmer for 30 minutes). Skim any foam that rises to the top.
Strain through a fine meshed strainer and discard the solids. Let the strained stock sit on the counter top for at least 10 minutes so that any remaining particles settle on the bottom. Pour off the clear part of the stock and discard the cloudy portion on the bottom containing particles. If the stock isn't as strong as you like it, you can simmer it down until it is the concentration you want.
The shrimp stock can be frozen until you want to use it. The stock is unsalted, so you should adjust salt to taste any recipes that you use it in.
Shrimp, Okra, and Andouille Sausage Gumbo
Recipe: "Shrimp, Okra and Andouille Smoked Sausage Gumbo" from "Chef Paul Prudhomme's Louisiana Kitchen" by Paul Prudhomme
Rating: Good. Roux-based gumbo is still my favorite though.
Status: Made once.
Ever since we got back from New Orleans, I've been learning to make the three major styles of gumbo. Earlier in the week, I made one thickened using roux and one that are thickened using filé. This the third type--is a gumbo thickened with okra.
One surprising thing about this recipe, is that he suggests making it in a cast iron pot. I've always heard that cast iron makes okra darken and discolor, and that acidic ingredients like tomatoes aren't good to cook in cast iron since they will strip the seasoning away. Searching the Internet shows that many people do cook gumbos in cast iron, however just to be on the safe side I avoided my cast iron pots for this dish.
The recipe makes twice as much gumbo as the other two recipes in the book, so I halved the quantities. Similar to my experience so far with this book, I reduced the oil and butter by quite a lot. I used just enough grapeseed oil to coat the pan for the vegetables, and added a little bit extra just before the onions were added since it was looking dry. And I added just 1.5 Tbsp of butter (instead of 1 stick) to the gumbo. I also used a much smaller quantity of spices, due to William's spice intolerance and my cayenne pepper which seems to be spicier than the norm. I added 1/2 tsp of a mix made approximately equally from black, white, and cayenne pepper to the sautéed vegetables, and just 1/4 tsp more of the mix to the gumbo along with the other non-spicy flavorings he suggested.
This is the most time consuming recipe of the three gumbo recipes in Paul Prudhomme's book, since this has lots of ingredients to chop, and the vegetables are sautéed and browned for a 35 minutes, then the majority of stock and the sausage is simmered for about 45 minutes, and a second batch of okra (to give textural variation in the okra) is added and quickly cooked for only 10 minutes. However, since one usually makes enough gumbo for several people at once, the advantage for William and I, is that it is quick to heat up once it is made and usually feeds us for about 3 meals.
This comes out with a stew-like texture. I like my gumbos on the soupy side so this needs some extra water or stock added to it to make it more soupy. Similar to how I've been cooking all of the other gumbos, I add the raw shrimp (and the green onions), only when I heat up a small portion so that the seafood stays fresh. Next time I would also consider waiting to add the second addition of okra until I heat up the gumbo, so that the fresh okra keeps its bright green color and crunch. Served with converted rice.
Seafood Filé Gumbo
Friday, June 07, 2013
Recipe: "Seafood Filé Gumbo" from "Chef Paul Prudhomme's Louisiana Kitchen" by Paul Prudhomme
Rating: Good but I like roux-thickened gumbo better.
Status: Made once
Go to community.cookinglight.com for the recipe.
The spice mix for this gumbo is milder than some of the other spice mixes in the book, since it contains a lot of paprika, so William can tolerate much more of the spices (though not quite the full mixture). However, the recipe does suggest adding 1 Tbsp Tabasco--I only added a small dribble to account for William's heat tolerance. I didn't crumble the bay leaf, and instead I added it whole to the gumbo. I also followed some of the general guide lines I outlined here (e.g. I left the salt out of the spice mixture so that I could salt to taste and finely ground the leafy dried herbs).
The recipe suggests sautéing the filé and vegetables in margarine and then simmering this with tomato sauce and seafood stock for an hour. It strongly urges you not to replace the margarine with butter since margarine is oilier and conducts more heat. Besides the usage of margarine which is disfavored today, the other reason this is surprising is that all of my other cookbooks say that filé must be added at the end of cooking because long boiling times make it stringy. Since I didn't want to use margarine, I decided to follow the advice of the other cookbooks and add the filé at the end of cooking. So I sautéed the aromatics and vegetables in just 1 Tbsp of butter and in no filé, and followed the rest of the directions. Instead of tomato sauce, I added tomato puree since I had some leftover in my freezer.
I used slightly less seafood than specified in the recipe--about 2/3 lbs shrimp (they were actually really large gulf prawns, so I cut them into bite sized pieces), 7 oysters and their liquor, and 1 cup crab meat*, though I have one more gumbo serving left over which didn't have seafood. As suggested in the recipe notes, I didn't add the seafood when I was cooking the dish. Instead I brought however much gumbo I was serving to a boil, adjusted the saltiness, added a bit of the leftover spice mixture, and filé to thicken it. Then I added the shrimp and let them cook through (it takes approximately 2 or so minutes). Then I added the oysters and their liquor and let the mixture return to a boil and immediately turned off the heat so the oysters were warm but barely cooked. Rather than adding the crab to the gumbo, I preferred topping the converted rice with cooked lump crabmeat and then spooning the gumbo over. It kept the crab in bigger chunks. Stirring the crabmeat into the gumbo directly made a less appealing texture, since the small particles of crab got dispersed in the gumbo and it made the crab almost unnoticeable since there were fewer large pieces.
Since this gumbo doesn't have roux in it, it doesn't retain heat as well as the roux based gumbos. So it should be served in preheated soup bowls so that it stays as hot as possible.
* I was able to buy some lump crab meat by the pound--I think this was about 1/4 lbs.

Return to Politics Board
April 2 2011 at 5:04 PM
Hi Amb Kund Kenga,
Going through your list of potential intending candidates for the 2012 WH regional seat lured me into writing this.
From the handful intending candidates, some names ring the bell while others dont. And that does not mean these candidates are incapable of being a leader; everyone has the right to contest.
In my view, I support Paias Wingti and will campaign for him in the coming 2012 election for the following reasons;
Paias Wingti has been accused (big media speculation with students protests on a number of occasions) on a number of allegations but none went before the leadership tribunal to prove him guilty/wrong. AND TODATE HE HAS A CLEAN NAME: NONE HAS PROVED HIM CORRUPT HAS CLAIMED.
1. US$300 million to Cayman Is
An example of this is the US$300 million to Caymen Island - In 2006 the NA Government through the leadership of Somare (Snr) directed the then Police Minister Alphonse Willie (MP for Kerowagi)to carryout an investigation on the issue. When the report was finalized and tabled before the Prime Minister to formally authorise for prosecution (for the offender's involved), the Prime Minister declined advising the Police Minister to "shelve the file". The question is why did the Prime Minister directed the investigation and when the report was finalized, he then changed his mind to decline prosecute through the leadership tribunal.
Obviously there are two answers to this;
a) The offenders (leaders) involved in the Caymen Is syndic at that time (2006) were with the NA Government and if the prosecution was to go ahead then, he was going to create a conflict of interest within his government causing a split or a possible change in the government through a vote of no confidence.
b) Secondly, the key figure Paias Wingti (Somare Snr main political rival) was found innocent as the grounds or evidence found against him were not sufficient and very light to prosecute him for a heavier penalty.
The US$300 million Cayman Island file was closed and is now collecting dust at some back office shelves in Port Moresby.
2. Customary Land Registration Bill
Another classic example was when Paias Wingti reintroduced the Land Bill in parliament (between 1985-1987) there were a lot of oppositions and chaos events enfolded.
One that I could remember was this ; Paias Wingti salim PNG igo overseas long ol whiteman. This became media speculation with headlines as PNG sold overseas and this was the talk in every household in every village, community, settlement, town around the four corners of PNG.
Today, I realized that it was a political tactic used by the opposition (of 1985-1988) involving University students to over throw Paias Wingti from the Prime Minister seat. This accusation against Paias Wingti selling PNG to foreigners had no grounds and basis to go before the leadership tribunal.
The very bill that he reintroduced in parliament back in 1986 is now considered the pillar of development and a lot of chances to Customary land enjoy special protection under Papua New Guinea law in terms of development. According to the Act, it cannot be sold, leased, mortgaged or disposed of except in accordance with custom. Highlights of developments include the recent mining booms!
3. Privatization
Although the bill was introduced by Sir Mekere, the axe landed on Paias Wingti as a key figure in the People Democratic Movement Party.
As in the second example above, there were a lot of opposition to the Privatization Bill. Apart from the many reasons the bill was introduced with the main focus to "rescue" PNG from a verge of financial collapse and today we enjoy the fruits.
4. Integrity of Political Party's Bill
The current NA government is a scapegoat without vision and direction! During the parliament sitting when Paias Wingti introduced this bill to parliament with the focus to stabling political parties(who acted like political prostitutes moving from one party to another), the current NA leader (Somare Snr)protests against the bill walking out of parliament. Today we see alot of chances from a stable government.
The list continues....To summaries this, Paias Wingti have been accused on a numerous occasions and yet he was never put to a leadership tribunal finding him guilty. Lets have facts to prove what we accuse is true. "NOKEN BAGARAPIM MAN NATING". I conclude that whatever people say about this great man is crab and tactics used by his political opponents (and also some self centered Western Highlanders) to tarnish his name for political and personal gains.
Referring to Amb Kenga' list of intending regional candidate for WH 2012, none of them is a prime minister material who can drive the vision and focus of PNG other than Paias Wingti.
For me personally, on previous elections I was convinced by above "*********" from university students or other people and voted against Paias Wingti. But now I realized the "TRUTH" and am supporting Mr Wingti not only in voting but will officially campaign for him.
With the latest events as burning of Kapal Haus,and disputed return courts are a political backing by the current NA government to topple Paias Wingti's leadership from returning to the parliament.

Not sure were you are coming from but i can tell you that Wingti is the most corrupt leader this country has ever seen. Global construction has been the source of money for the past 10 years. Mick Jepson himself used to mouth of in the Laumana hotel the millions they where paying wingti
Can anyone tell me where has Wingti made his money, what are is business interests

Respond to Bill Jenkins commenting on Paias Wingti
April 6 2011, 2:18 AM
Mr Bill Jenkins,
Thank you for your respond to my post titled Paias Wingti for 2012.
You have rubbished my views with you point accusing Paias Wingti being the worst corrupt leader making money out of Global Construction. You have even named a character, Mick Jepson (as your witness) paying of Paias Wingti at Lamana hotel.
Since you have a witness and a venue where this activity occurred, it could have been a very genuine case to prosecute the accused in a Leadership tribunal including the other allegations I outlined in my earlier post. Why are people with shallow thinking minds (of your type) bluff about things that they don't see, witness or even have sufficient grounds to support their arguments.
Mate, talk substance and back it with evidence. Don't bluff about things that are "ear say" or over heard from some stimulating drunkards. Tok tok i nogat evidence is for women and kids in the kitchen. Sapos yu man na yu Bill Jenkins, yu mas tok tok olsem Bill Jenkins.
To prove your words and to show that you are real man, I invite you to do two things;
1. Contest the WHP Regional seat in 2012 under the name Bill Jenkins,
2. Prosecute Paias Wingti through the leadership tribunal about the allegations you mentioned.
Paias Wingti is no different to Old Somare. If Somare is found guilty by the courts, who is Paias Wingti to preserve. Bill Jenkins, you should organize the same court to prosecute Paias Wingti proving your words.
And I assure you my vote and support, if you execute the above task.
Western Highlands is fed up with all these political crab such as yours tarnishing leaders names. Also the province including PNG is hungry to see Wingti back into parliament to make some "real noises" on the floor of parliament. For your information, Bill Jenkins, Western Highlands will return "Kang Kund Apa" (Wingti) back to parliament in 2012.

In respond to Sick & Hela Iginis comments, I wonder if they had a chance to confirm and prove what they stated.
Sick was optimistic about his/her heading stating that Paias Wingti knows how to hide the books but did not have a valid evidence or source to support his/her statement. In reality, what Sick stated is a raw statement without facts and is full of crab.
Sick, I would suggest you mind your wordings when posting such crabs as you could make a fool of yourself smells like rotten egg.
The former Prime Ministers of Papua New Guinea made name, history and more importantly become Prime Minister of PNG of which you and I will never make one. Regardless of their political differences and the critics people of label, they represented us holding the number one post of the country, whether we like it or not. They are mandated leaders!
Former Prime Ministers, Sir Julius Chan, Paias Wingti and Sir Michael Somare all served PNG in the best they can. They all have a common vision and destiny for PNG during their times as Prime Ministers and that is for PNG to develop in every aspects.
Sir Julius Chan, believed in a strong vibrant economy and was driving PNG to be self-reliant economically. He embraced his ideas and policies towards building a strong reliable economy for PNG.
On the other hand, Paias Wingti knew Agriculture and education are the backbone of PNG (ninety per cent (90 %) of the population lived off land, subsistence farming) and could sustain from Agricultural exports as coffee, cocoa, tea etc.. and during his term in office he was prioritising on these (Funding Agricultural sector & Free Education policy) sectors.
Wingti idea to develop agricultural sector of PNG is considered not only important but vital and essential. A great idea and a vision to prosperity but todate no government is working on it. Apart from the short lived mining boom, Papua New Guineas economy relies on the agricultural exports (coffee, vanilla, cocoa, copra etc) and that is where the bulk of the population is.
And Mr Sick, in 1987 when Brazil (largest coffee producer) was down with coffee rust, PNG economy increased and the kina was strong. Em idea blong Paias Wingti sapos yu no save.
Sir Michael Somares vision was to gain self-independence for PNG which he successfully achieved.
Mr Sick, you look into what each Prime Ministers motive of running the country and if you could tell the core view of their intentions, then you can tell what sort of person they are. As the saying goes, dont judge the book by its cover, likewise, you are one of those blind brainless followers who can not make judgement.
To conclude, there are few points you have to take into consideration;
1. Paias Wingti is the first Highlander to become Prime Minister and no other highlander will become
Prime Minister.
2. He architecture most policies that are enjoyed by governments of today. An example is the Integrity
of Political Partys Bill, free education policy etc..
3. Of course he is the champion highlands politician second to late Sir Iambaki Okuk.
Now Mr Sick & Hela, have some common sense and talk substance with sense. Noken giaman nabaut.
Mr Sick & Hela as I have mentioned in my past posts, WHP will return Paias Wingti in the coming 2012 national election.

Paias Wingti for 2012
April 11 2011, 12:40 AM
Look if Wingti is guilty what of every other member of parliament. What I am trying to say is this he is no better than the rest. However him like his predecessor Chan and Somare seem to have been the only leaders this nation has had in terms of vision and leading the country towards economic prosperity. I mean really who would you rather have as pm Wingti or some idiotic hothead like don polye. Until this country can produce honest transparent leaders who have the skills, calibre and foresight necessary to lead this nation our first 3pms are the best we've had and may ever have had. Wake up and smell the roses my friend this is the reality.
PS. And until they can find sufficient evidence to trial wingti the man is innocent. Innocent until proven guilty that is the way our judicial system is based as part of the Westminster system and I am positive if he went on trial nothing would turn up. But if you wanto file a lawsuit against him go ahead this is a free democratic country your allowed to have your freedom of speech. Unless you can't as your information is based on hersey and rumours surrounding moratau settlement.

To the person who commented on my post claiming him/herself as Wingtigone4ever, I read your respond with word for word that is all bluffing. Your ascent of English command sounds like some academic English with a fancy vocabulary has no meaning and understanding to a common Papua New Guinean.
Apa the worst and most disgusting is the abusive and swearing words in your Hagen dialect that you threw out of your mouth. To the readers who go through these posts (for many reasons) can tell what type of person you are! Just because of the command of language (swearing words) people can tell, you are one of those Papua New Guinean characters with attitude and behaviour problem that smells stink.
You mind your language when posting as many people read these posts. Also understand that this is a public political forum where one can express his/her views on the agenda. So kanga pa, sapos yu liklik pikinini na het blong yu ino istap stret, yu mas tromoi tokples gut. Noken tok nogut olsem yu tok pinis.
I am not certain if you have read my post above that outlines some of Paias Wingtis policies and achievements during his reign in parliament between 1992-1994 and 1985-1988. Some of the policies work well today and put the country in order.
Integrity of political partys bill is one that stabilised a government of the day from vote of no confidence and also as there was considerable dissatisfaction within PNG about the countrys lack of social and economic progress and growing problems of lawlessness and corruption, and growing criticism from outside.
When this bill was presented in parliament by Paias Wingti (Drafted by Professor John Nongorr), Sir Michael Somare walked out of the chamber in protest of the bill. Today he enjoy s the fruits of what he protested. The actual endorsement of the OLIPPC was when Sir Mekere was Prime Minister.
If you had followed the papers, earlier last year, July 7 2010, the Supreme Court, ruled the bulk of the Organic Law on the Integrity of Political Parties and Candidates Unconstitutional putting Somare (Srn) and Professor John Nongrro at loggerheads war of words.
What does this mean ? Apa yu kam gut wantaim tok English blong yu so yu yet mas workim aut meaning blong ol dispel samting.
Here, I also would like to point to you (as a blind person) that Paias Wingtis Organic Law on the Integrity of Political Parties is the foundation of a stable government. And I talk sense providing you with concrete evidence, not just bluffing with baseless points like your comments.
Between 1992, Paias Wingti introduced the Land Mobilisation. The concept of the Land Mobilisation Bill was miss interpreted by some UPNG students (pressured by opposition at that time) that Paias Wingti salim PNG overseas and there was a student unarrests resulting in students being killed.
If I could recall the incident clearly, a student from Banz and Tambul lost their lives . Today, everyone in the country realises that Land Mobilisation is the key for development and investor confidence. LNG project and all other development projects that you see today is a result of Land Mobilisation.
This was one event that tarnished Paias Wingtis name and he lost to Father Lark and the birth of MELSOL (Melanesian Solidarity) formed by Peti Lafanama, Peter Waing etc.. that did not last long. Today, we prove ourselves to be wrong and Wingti was right! Students lost their lives for nothing!
PDM is the party founded by Paias Wingti that claimed the throne twice (1985-1988 & 1992-1994) putting WHP (where you and I come from) on the PNG map. Today the most feared seats in the national parliament are the WHP seats because Paias Wingti had set the record no other MP from the Highlands region will repeat.
Your statement stating that PDM indai long PNG is not true. The facts I got here is PDM currently have 5 MPs in parliament with that latest being elected Governor general (source political parties listing png). How do you talk without a base. Kang apa luk olsem yu wanpela mauswara man stret ya nogat evidence long ol toktok blong yu.
In regards to your brief case comment, Paias Wingti never allowed himself in that category. Taim yu lukim ol narapela wantok member blong yu, yu votim igo long parliament, em bai yu lukim ol karim brief case raun olsem liklik mangi. Think before you open you month.
Apa, both of us come from WHP and can you tell me what these other intending candidates will do (if they win the WHP governor seat in 2012) that is never done by Paias Wingti.
Finally Wingti will be returned by the Western Highlanders in the 2012 general election.

Students loss lives - its not Paias Wingti's fault!
April 13 2011, 10:22 AM
Mr Wondoror,
You missed so much. What you referred to as two students losing their lives due to Paias Wingti's corruption is wrong on the following points;
1. The students collaborated with the opposition at that time to over throw the Govt. (Paias Wingti's was PM)and their agenda was Land Mobilizable. The talk in every house at that time was, Paias Wingti salim PNG overseas that was not true. Today land mobilizable becomes the key policy for investor confidence and development.
2. Paias Wingti's policy today is seen as a key policy for development and the innocent students lost their lives because UPNG students at that time collaborated with the Opposition and miss understood the policy concepts and its purpose. But believed the opposition for their political gain which has nothing to do with UPNG students resulting in all these chaos.
3. To conclude, Paias Wingti won the battle with a key policy that became vital and essential today and the so called university students (without brains) with the opposition lost. What do they think when they can now realize that the policy was vital and essential for development today???????? BIKPELA SHAME STRET !!!

Paias Wingti has set the precedence, the first Highlander to be the Prime Minister and most of his policies are working well. And he can;
- Play politics at the international Political Level,
- National Political Level,
- Local Political Level.
He has the experience to run a national successfully.

Trupla Kange or Naiko .
Lets talk substance. My point is, I am supporting Paias Wingti because he has a proven track record and he is capable with experience. What track records ?
- Policies include Free Education,
- Privatisation (Mekere was PM) that saved the country at the verge of financial collapse,
- Land Mobilisation Bill provide foreigner investor confidence for business development,
- Organic Law on the Integrity of Political Party Candidate that stabilise Governments for the day
- The list continues and to top it all he was the first Highlands Prime Minister.
Since he is capable of all these above (and many more), I have total confidence in him, he can deliver and crucify those corrupt. (You can not crucify him because he is clean and also you dont have the know how to sue him. Why dont you take him to court to prove your accusations right so we all can believe you . Giaman bai yu givim excuse na tok Paias hitim ol books, shame on you).
I believe the idea of putting someone fresh (fresh blood) into parliament and of course we tried in the likes of Father Lark and now young Olga. Olga was a student leader campaigning against Paias Wingti expressing your very ideas as puting a fresh blood into parliament and he/she could do better. But now when he took office, WHP seem to go backwards. He did not even put into action his fresh ideas he preached on campaign trails and student protest days! Naiko or trupla kange, what is the fresh one you referring to ? Another Tom Olga ????????
Above I outlined the reasons why I am supporting Paias Wingti. In regards to you referring Paias as corrupt is crab and rubbish as you dont have any concrete evidence and your excuse is Paias Wingti hide the books. This is absolute nonsense for educated people as your facts are based on an assumption basis. You should also be ashamed of yourself as you dont have any genuine grounds to argue Paias is corrupt!
So Trupla Kange or Naiko, talk substance and to the point. What or where is your point here ? Toktok olsem ol meri kalap kalap long kain kain tok tok pulim igo kam maski. Tell us what you really want to say.
In the minds of every Western Highlanders, the name Paias Wingti rings the bell (from young to old) other than anyone else. In the last election, 2007, he won the election but it was a political influenced issue that he technically lost.
Trupla Kange or Naiko, you mark my words, Kang Kund Wingti will retain his seat in 2012.

For a start, he is not the current MP and how can he retain his seat?
Secondly, all these policies you talk about were someone's idea, never was Wingti's ideas, how can you claim those?
Land Mobilization is the most stupid of all policies, not well thought mate!
Most traditional land in PNG are not owned by individuals but clans so registering them and using them as security in any Government or Bank loans can marginalize others.
As for him being the first 'Highlands' PM - thats rubbish!, he was a leader of a Political Party that had the numbers at the time. The only other former MP who I thought was a Prime Minister Material is Bire Kimisopa - articulate and intelligent. Yes, Wingti did display attributes in some part but he was corrupt!
Late David Goro Mai - is the father of Free Education, he is the one initiated the idea and introduced it in the whole Simbu (I was one of the first students who benefited from this) before he got elected as the Regional MP. That is NOT Wingti's idea - shame on you and Wingti for trying to claim credit for someone's idea and policy.
Just like every other case, when you have the power and money, all these allegation of corruption cannot be easily proven as you would think. Its a cycle so until there is a totally free and independent justice system with proper traceable records of all government transaction unfortunately nothing will be proven!!
Look at your current MPs - they are given K14M each year and do you see K14M worth of development each year? Where does all the money go? and how are they able to acquit all the expenditures and get the following year's supply of funds?

My introduction to my previous post stating Wingti will "retain" his seat is not an english error. I deliberately meant to say what I said because he did not loss the 2007 election.
Now, responding to your comments,in one case or so, you maybe correct stating that Wingti may have used other people's ideas to draw these policies. But Wingti seemed to be the center piece putting these ideas into action, (not a "lip service" like your other MPs these days) using the powers he had as PM. More precisely, he has the "know how". Now, we are returning to the drawing board to find out who has actually come up with the original idea. The point is without Wingti, these prosperous ideas would not become successful policies, they would be idol somewhere collecting dust! So the conclusion is, "Wingti has the know how" and he is the master planner.
Mate, we dont look at house servants, the master deserves all the glory. In every Government around the world, planners and policy makers are back stage people. Eg Barack Obama does not make all these decisions for USA. Like Paias Wingti, Sir Chan or Michael Somare. Which Prime Minister in PNG do your claim having all the decisions and policies done by himself????
Land Mobilization, despite customary ownership for land is clans (over whatever you may like), how can you bring a development into your land without registrations. What are your strategic plan and structures ? How can you convince the developer from land problems encounter, our attitude and behavior problems etc.
The prime minister materials you highlighted are rubbish as they had their time in parliament and the privilege was wasted. Don't preach about losers, having the opportunity on their hands and than fall off! In all cases Wingti is a living legend for highlanders (even you or me will never make it to the prime minister).
Next, our arguments can only be concluded in the coming 2012 election. If Wingti loss, than you may be the winner for this debate. At this point in time, nobody is a winner to our arguments. Let's wait and prove in 2012 election if above suits you, Naiko.

For Wingti, he delivered service and his trade mark is there (which one of your missed on your last trip to Hagen)and because of his aggressive management style (authoritarian style of management)his co workers and supporters back stacked him (maybe yous one of those victims). But all these times, he has been accused of wrong doing and never in one time proved him guilty.
They wanted a laissez faire management style so they can wonder around freely during business hours and more importantly steal from the government purse making false claims!
Guys, there's no such thing as a free lunch. After analyzing all your postings, your comments are in conflict whether you against corruption or in support. I conclude to say that, yous are supporting corruption than accusing Wingti of corruption.
So the best solution is why not yous and Wingti all join to fight corruption and along the way pick Wingti up ? I dont see any reason why yous cant as all you guys (including Wingti)heading for the same destiny but your parts are different.

Western Highlanders are good at selling their lands to outsiders and few years later they threaten the outsiders or landloards and when they run away to where they come from then take the land back.Their sisters married to outsiders and when her husband run the business and make a good turnover and they kill their own sister's husbands and take over the business, many times they do business with foreigners and conn them and poor foreigners lost their money to Kanges 0r apas.

Keep twitching your fingers and wishing about bringing back your one time crony crook.
Togoba Jiks, for starters only when you stop your professional pick pocketting in Hagen by fully bearded grey haired Kanges than can you raise a hand against Southern Highlanders or Engans.
Secondly, you need to work the land in your Togoba/Nebilyer area and stop harrasing innocent travelling public along the highway.
Seems like you have run out of ideas on how to make a living and all you do is set up road blocks and prey on unsuspecting innocent travellers.
Get out of your hiding hole and teach your people some senses.
As for Southern Highlanders and Engans in Hagen, well perhaps you dont know your history quite well.
Let me begin by telling you that most of these people were the first labourers in your coffe and tea plantation who worked your land and set WHP up as the major exporter of coffee and tea.
Kanges are reknown lazy people who look at easy avenues to make quick cash so them brothers from across the borders put yous on the map and you have to humble your hairy hagen pride and appreciate that.
It was all good until you kicked em out and wanted to take over your plantation, now where do you think you are in terms of producing coffee and tea? That is also why there is an increase in their general population in town.
As for the case in POM, its an eyesore and a universal concern for all highlanders not just Southern Highlanders and Engans.

So what are you telling this board . You preaching against corruption, so as Paias Wingti and CORRUPTION is the issue, thats yous destiny.
The invitation is once again open for you (and R3B???) to join Paias Wingti to fight corruption and in the event you find some dodge stuff against Paias Wingti, we all will support you to bring Paias Wingti before the justice. (Noken givim excuse that Paias i hitim ol evidence).
If you can not accept this offer, this will obviously tell the readers on this post that you dont have a concrete subject matter but just bluffing and I will not entertain your posts.(As I will consider its baseless and not worthwhile attending to each).
Naiko, the ball is in your court and lets see how you play. Do not bypass the point .....

No to Wingti!!
April 18 2011, 3:42 PM
Dude, its like chasing the wind - you get nowhere!
When you have a justice system, public prosecutors office and Obudmans Commissions that is compromised and/or underfunded deliberately, how do you expect justice to prevail or investigations to be carried out thoroughly?
In a court of law, you are innocent until proven guilty and that is through the submission of evidence to prove the guilt of your crony. However, if these evidence dissappear in a some black holes, how do you prove anything?
So you see, these importany elements are missing so your buddy can't be proven guilty but the common men knows whose guilty.
There's a court but there's no ball, coz you hid it! It will show up in the end, mark my word! Your SINS will find you OUT!

Paias Wingti if he wins in 2013 won't be because he is a legend or because of this and that..frankly, it will be because he have enough money to bribe the right people at the right time. That's PNG pollitcics, especially the highlands and momase regions.
That's what makes Tom Olga's win outstanding in this game, as he beat a billion dollar tycoon with the twist of his tongue...u feel me?

You full of excuses giving reasons you cant take to the courts. What a waste! Somare was brought before the VERY courts using the limited resources available and proven guilty. It is embarrassing to conclude with assumptions presuming the ruling of the courts will prove Paias Wingti guilty.
If you dont know, assumptions and predictions can not convince a court of law to hand down its verdict.
By the way, you still miss my point . You are invited to join Paias Wingti to fight corruption and prove your remarks against him. Tell the post you will join him to collect your needed evidence or not rather than jumping in circles. Bai yu joinim anti corruption team wantaim Paias o nogat ????????????
Tom Olga has nothing to do with Paias Wingti. Tom is just like any Western Highlander and he has is democratic rights to contest the elections.
The subject is, Toms declaration wining the last election was a foul play by National Alliance Party because Paias Wingti is the threat. Is there any prove for this ? Yes.
Your remarks are sentiments of a low level persons understanding of things (meaning those who can not understand beyond the limit of wisdom. Pls bear with me that I am not calling you are a lower level person or what ever you may think but trying to describe the minds understanding of things by a person. Nogut yu kisim mi personally na kross, em mi ino meanim yu tasol traim long explainim character or how mind blong man save wok).
This is a public forum area to talk about POLITICS for one to express his/her political views on politicians or politics. If you are not interested or nothing concerning you than just back off and mind your own business. You are a stick beak to other peoples views and opinions. You should be ashamed of yourself! DO THE RIGHT THING AT THE RIGHT PLACE!
The next thing is mind you language! Its very abusive, disgusting and respect less. People of all class view these postings and its very manner less and childish with your character pouring out the disgusting swear word out of your filthy month. Its like when you are giving a present to someone and if that person does not accept your present, what do you do than ? You take it back. Likewise, everything that you threw out of your dirty month is all yours.
To all my friends above, WINGTI IS THE LIVING LEGEND AND STILL REIGNS.

You beating around the bush. You still not to the point I invited you. Join the corruption team with Wingti. I AM YET TO GET AN ANSWER FROM YOU ON THIS REQUEST. When you not responding on this request, it clearly indicates that you jumping the gun.
I can now sense that you are running out of ideas and words to support your argument when you don't want accept the invitation to fight corruption.
You also living in Australia and you had the chance to see Wingti passing bye. You fail to approach him expressing your dissatisfaction and the issues we have raised. Your failure approaching him face to face indicates that you are not man enough.

It will be pointless you return with a respond because ;
1. It indicates you are beating around the bush without answering my request (You run out of ideas & words),
2. We just pick your WEAKNESS here that you saw Wingti in Brisbane and fail to approach him and talk to him face to face.

Wingti only wants power now because there is more money in this Govt accounts now then ever before he was PM.
This type of leadership is over along with a lot of others. We have PNG people all over the world holding top excitive jobs, flying as cheif pilots, they are the ones we need as leaders.

Alot of Western Highlanders are honest hard working people, not to mention alot of them are faithful Christians who fund the work of God in PNG and else where.
But there are a few apples, bad rotten apples and leading these corrupt lot and the teacher is non other than Paias Wingti. Michael Somare, Julius Chan, Bill Skate and the rest of them learnt their tricks from Paias Wingti.
At least Fr Lak and current Governor are not as corrupt as Wingti.
Look across the your boarders, Okuk was a great leader he died...and the Simbu left him in his grave, Malipu died and the Engans left him in his grave. Paias Wingti is dead as far as PNG is concerned...leave him in his grave.
Definatley I see a 1000 more better Western Highlanders than Paias Wingi.

We are remember for the good and bad deeds that we did. Likewise thats why we are whinging too much about the wingti issue. Remember ethically if you throw a small stone or a big stone it still sinks. No leader in history or current is more or less better pais wingti, all of them are corrupt to the bone. Be realistic we are intellectuals...our country is 3 times worse than before. Thumbs up kang apa your arguements were facts and substansive but I for one do not support wingti but do have a utmost respect for a great man in PNG political history becoming the youngest PM in a commonwealth nation and engineered some of the dramatic issues in the political arena.. Call him or say whatever u want about but remember his legacy will live and known for the generations to come. All in all am implying is that let us not point fingers but reason out the outcome of everything. Remember the cause and efffect theory.. Em tasol...kanda

Western Highlanders, there is one thing that you must be aware of and that is: The very leaders the world comes to know about coming from WHP are a reflection of you - the Western Highlander! Leaders reflect the very person and at the very minute, the well to go with Kanges must accept the very fact that Tom Olga is your Leader and he is a true reflection of you... You have no choice, you cant hide nor run into a cave. Western Higlanders are now disintegrated and marginalised even at the National Political level. The show belongs to SHP, Enga, Chimbu and Hageners can only watch. Apart from the Tambul Member none has proven including Duma. Some of the responsibility of the failures in the city - lawlessness, filthyness etc rests on the shoulders of the Hagen MP. There is no unity at the top level between Duma and Olga. There is no hope if these guys dont work together... I think Duma is equally responsible. Let me ask... What has Duma done for the 3rd City of PNG? Has he gone into hiding? ...........
;;;;;;;;;;; Hageners - Is there HOPE? YES THERE IS? Wingti is probably not the answer? Think again!!

My dear people of Western Highlands and PNG,
I thank those who have supported me althrough. I have lived politics all my life and am proud to say that I was instrumental in shaping the country for development including Privatisation, Look North Policy and others in which fruits of such as being reaped by today's govenments.
However, I regret to say that I will NOT contest the 2012 election for various reasons. The first and foremost reason is that my health as been degrading and I have undergone several operations. I now look frail and some of my vital organs are not functioning well. The second reason is that I am proud that the current Governor and my son, Tom Olga won the seat I held and he has proven by the system to be a legitimate and competent leader in the two recounts and the initial results. I congratulated him and support his current policies and management of WHP. Until you find another capable person, I remain supportive of Governor Olga.
I appeal to my current supporters to offer policy support and cooperate with the current government instead of back-biting and playing petty politics. If I don't like such, you shouldn't too.
May God bless WHP and PNG.

I'd like to respond to this weird message by a Paias Wingti whom I doubt is hiding under a pen name of this most powerful figure head in PNG politics.To put on record,Tom Olga's election win,was a win by the system including the judiciary and that is water under the bridge and PNG knows about that.I'm now rejuvenated and looking forward to going back to the people again to test that faith.
Politics at the national front is felt without PW's presence and thats for sure. And so juveniles like this writer and his purported leader,Tom Olga who is by miles no where comparable to PW need not write such crab to tarnish PW's image.
The WH people have suffered in the basic delivery of goods and services including general break down in the law and order situation.How has this amateur governor addressed this nor the arson of the iconic WH provincial capital.There is alot to show for in his inexperience in governance at a higher level.
I'd like to re-assure PW's supporter that he'll be back and such malicious letters from unanimous people are showing their inferiority complex of his return so they must be warned to refrain from further unauthorised letters like this. Let me also point out that,this is a serious impersonation charge and would not hesitate to get legal redress once known.
Paias Wingti will return and see you guys on the campaign train in 2012.

I have read the 54 responses to this columm and some are getting too personal and emotional. Regardless of who is get in the chair in 2012; whether it wingti or olga or some new kid; none of them will come and personnally express their sincere thanks for all you arguements.
I dont' think Wingti is even interested in running again in 2012. He has gone into retirement and is globe trotting as we argue; taking care of his bussiness empire the world over the people of Hagen open and then Western Highlands help create.
For a leader of Winti's calibre to tactfully cause the downfall of Kindi Lawi, a fellow Jiga tribesman is so low. Think of all the Western Highlands Millionaires - Simon Korua, Michael Mel , Kagul Koroka ...to name a few. Who caused their down fall.

So my relatives were over yesterday and they brought some presents…for the house. I was looking through the presents and i was like "oooo bottle of champagne" but it turned out to be a bottle of cider. my parents were in the room but i didnt think they cared about me looking through the presents =] so i looked at bottle and it said no alcohol. so i said to myself, outloud, "no alcohol, no thank you". then my parents just gave me a look and i left the room before they could say anything -________- i hope they forget about it lol
Iono about everyone but some of you may have experienced the crazy ass windy weather two days ago. being the idiot that i m, i thought it would be nice to just go shoot around at the school behind my house. So i did and i made like 10 shots in that entire hour and a half -_______- but the great thing that happened was the wind was sooo strong, that i actually flew for like 0.1 secs. not a very proud moment because yes i realized i am so weak that even wind can win against me =[ but that didnt matter cuz that 0.1 sec felt sooo good. its that feeling you get when you reach the top of rollcoaster and right when you are about to go down, you are afloat, i LOVE that feeling =] i freakin wish i had wings dude, it would be sooo damn awesome lol
I wonder if CSI people get pissed everytime some murder cuts up the victim into pieces and throws into the lake or ocean lol
"Son of a bitch! not again. man now I have to find all the pieces. stupid ass murder, couldn't keep it simple" it would suck to be those guys. It will be like putting a puzzle together….without knowing how many pieces there are in total. That job would suck! lol

So me and kevin were waiting @ the bus stop on culver & michelson. Time went by and people started showing up at the bus stop and now there were like 13 students just waiting for the bus. You know how sometimes you get bored and start noticing weird things? so i started looking around and noticed that the ratio to Indian to Asian was 1:1 O.O that has NEVER happened to me before o.O 6 asians, 6 indians, 1 middle eastern chick. This was more shocking to me than my final which had questions i had no idea about. Hopefully the ratio isn't like this in Covina =]
I like looking at pretty girls.
My definition of "pretty" applies to a broad range of qualities for me to consider someone as "pretty." Every woman has at least one attractive quality, whether it be physical or not, that she can be proud of. The tricky thing is to figure out what it is — and how she can utilize it to her advantage.
I couldn't agree with her more. Every different girl has different qualities, just gotta figure out what it is that attracts you. I guess I kind of know what i find attractive in a girl. I'd say the eyes, hair or the smile. It would be nice to meet someone with all 3 of the qualities lol
Today i took the first step towards eating healthy food. I bought a 1 lb of baby carrots (because it was 99cents). we'll see what my next step is. i dont think its gonna happen anytime soon tho lol
i went my review session today since i have a final tomorrow. What's amazing is that i learned a lot more in that 1 hour compared to 5 weeks (2nd half of semester) of class. Now i can fail tmr's final with pride because at least i learned something, it just wasn't on the test xD
i think i rely too much on the microwave…
Yesterday, went shopping for food at Costco and Ralph's. Got my Costco membership yay =D 2 free $10 cash card haha spent over 4 hours shopping and then got home, made spaghetti with meatballs. Made enough to last us through like 4 days. made it yesterdays, and there is still more than half left in the fridge. But gonna start studying which will make me hungry every 2 hours so i think it will be gone by tomorrow. We made the meatballs from scratch so it took quiet an amount of time. I would put up the recipe but I have no idea how Kevin and Greg made it. I was just watching over, like Chef Ramsay except that i had no knowledge of cooking whatsoever lol oh well today was good day 8) didn't have to do much and i got to eat a lot

INDIANAPOLIS | This time, Ryan Tannehill was the one celebrating in Indianapolis.
And Miami's defense had Andrew Luck fuming.
The Dolphins' second-year quarterback matched his counterpart virtually throw-for-throw Sunday.
Tannehill did a better job managing his team's offense in the second half and cheered his defense after it thwarted yet another Colts' comeback bid to hold on for a 24-20 victory.
"I think he (Luck) did a good job," Tannehill said. "I don't really know what his numbers were, but from what I saw, he did a great job of moving around the pocket, but the defense really stepped up and made a play when it counted."
Tannehill was just better Sunday.
While the two quarterbacks finished with similar numbers — Tannehill was 23 of 34 for 319 yards and one touchdown, while Luck was 25 of 43 for 321 yards and one TD — the difference came down to managing mistakes.
Tannehill lost a third down fumble at his 39 in the third quarter, but all the Colts could get was a go-ahead field goal.
Luck, however, stopped one fourth-quarter scoring chance by forcing a deep throw to Reggie Wayne that was picked off by Brent Grimes in the end zone.
Luck had a chance to make amends after driving the Colts (1-1) to the Miami 23-yard line with 1:45 left in the game. Miami, however, forced three straight incompletions and refused to allow the suddenly elusive Luck to escape the pass rush on fourth down.
Luck, who has engineered eight fourth-quarter comebacks in 18 games, blamed himself for the loss.
"I guess I'm a little angry at myself," Luck said. "Again, credit to them, they put us in all these situations, but I feel like we are a better team than what we showed out there."

Taylor Swift is prepared to go to war with a website called Celebrity Jihad ... claiming she was wrongly identified in a "leaked" nude photo ... and now she's threatening to sue their asses.
The photo in question features a topless woman who bears a resemblance to Swift under the headline, "Taylor Swift Topless Private Pic Leaked?"
Swift's lawyers are pissed -- and fired over a letter to the site demanding it take down the post immediately ... or else she'll sue for trademark infringement.
In the letter, Team Swift says the site contains, "false pornographic images and false 'news" about the singer.
A rep for the site tell us the blog is considering its options. Swift's people had no comment.
Number 1, I'm pretty damn sure Taylor would not risk her entire career and millions of dollars plus a huge fanbase just to take this sort of silly photos, because celeb nudity ALWAYS leaks out.
Number 2, Taylor is not that sort of person anyway, seeing as how many years I've been her loyal fan. She is simply above this, unlike these Mohammed dogs.
Number 3, The girl in the picture bears a really close resemblance to her, but the upper lip and jawline is different. Also, if I am mistaken and it is her face indeed, the photo could have easily been photoshopped. If you aren't good at it hire someone, it's that simple.
Number 4, What the hell would Taylor Swift be doing in such a messy, cluttered room? It looks like a ghetto, what with the paneling and bedding. Good grief, I've seen her bedroom and house online before, and it looks nothing like this. She has a four-poster. So unless you claim that she's been staying in cheap-ass motels off Ohio highways then I don't see why she'd be caught lying in such a place.
Number 5, YOU BITCHES SHUT THE **** UP ABOUT TAYLOR, BECAUSE SHE'S DAMN AWESOME AND YOU'RE OBVIOUSLY NOT. GIVE ME ALL THE THUMBS DOWN YOU LIKE, BUT I DON'T CARE AND NEITHER DO THE REST OF US SWIFTIES. SO AGAIN, FIND A HOOKER AND YOU'RE A LIP AWAY FROM BEING A HAIRY VAGINA. LONG LIVE TAYLOR SWIFT!!!!!
This chick has nothing to show anyway.
she still stinks at singing
She sure has the money for it and it may look like her but it aint her
Go get them Taylor! Some one needs to finally stop people from telling lies that hurt people's reputations just to sell papers or photos etc.
it's not that hard to take a pic of yourself naked and send it to someone after they've promised not to show anyone. Probably happened to her, it's def a pic of her, she wouldn't be so grumpy about someone posting it on the internet if it wasn't her, never seen anyone go to the extremes, it's too late though taylor, every guy that is in lust with you already has it on their computer and there's no stopping the internet. No one ever complains about their boob slips or their no panties on in a skirt slips... so def her, and it was me she sent the picture to.
I think they(thee Website's) have someone that looks similar to Taylor Swift and they are trying to make her look bad. That's not good.. It's such a jealousy(she is pretty n...) n "rude" action to take her down..I am supporting her n that is not her!!It was fake!!!
well, i saw the pic too, and yeah... she looked ALMOST like taylor swift. but it wasn't her.
Pls. Don't do things like that we all Taylor is not that kind of a lady. So stop making a fool of yourselfs
Yea..just looked at that, it is not Taylor Swift. Sorry.
She can't sing but at least she can **** good
