Although Singham was a success at the box office, Kajal was not flooded with offers in the B-Town, contrary to the expectations. So, she has decided to concentrate more in Tollywood where she is already a big name.
Incidentally, she is also repenting the bikini photo-shoot which she did to promote herself in Bollywood. She feels her image in Tollywood will get affected by such things and will not be interested to do these things further.

Discuss in detail by comparison and contrast the four types of weather fronts.
- print Print
- list Cite
A weather front is the boundary between two air masses that differ in temperature and moisture levels. There are four main types of weather fronts. They are listed and discussed below:
Cold front: A cold front is the leading edge of a cold air mass associated with a low pressure system. The cold, dense air wedges underneath warmer air masses and produces strong winds in the lower atmosphere. Because cold air is dense and falls rapidly, cold fronts tend to move faster than other fronts.
Warm front: A warm front is the leading edge of a warm air mass. Because warm air is less dense, it tends to move more slowly than other fronts. Fog is often found along the frontal boundary.
Occluded front: An occluded front is when a cold front overtakes a warm front. The weather can vary with an occluded front depending on the difference in temperatures between the two air masses.
Stationary front: A stationary front is an immobile boundary between two air masses. Heavy precipitation can often be found at a stationary front since the clouds sit in place without moving for a long period of time (often days).

The teenage years may be full of angst over rocky relationships and pimples appearing at just the wrong time, but they're also a great time for parents to begin talking about the finer points of investments with their teen. Here are a few tips to get you started.
Begin with the basics.
Before you get into margin calls, stocks splits, and P/E ratios, you need to help your teen understand some fundamentals. Start by sharing your investment philosophy. Explain that saving is for short-term goals and investing is a strategy that can help them meet long-term goals.
Next, move on to the concept of risk versus reward. Teens need to know that investments that offer higher returns often come with higher risks, and that investments with lower risks may very well deliver lower returns. This is a good time to explain the benefits of investing for the long haul, and how over time, stocks typically outperform other investments.
Diversification is another important concept for the aspiring teen investor. While stocks may be more attractive to teens, there may be a place in their portfolio for other investment options. Examples include bonds -- which are funds that an investor lends to a company as an interest-bearing loan -- and mutual funds that bring together money from many people and invest it in stocks, bonds or other assets.
Practice makes perfect
Like most things in life, when it comes to investing, it's a good idea to experiment before actually putting money on the line. One of the best ways to do this is to have your child choose several stocks and follow their performance. This works particularly well when teens invest in companies that they are familiar with, such as a clothing, computer, or soft drink manufacturer.
Teach your teen how to track the company's stock price. Watch for stories on companies your teen is familiar with and discuss how news impacts a stock's performance.
There are also a number of stock investing games on the Internet that offer a fun and educational introduction to investing. You may also want to talk to someone at your child's school about offering an investing simulation game allowing student teams to compete against other schools. Additionally, some high schools offer investment clubs.
Reality check
Sooner or later – and probably sooner – your teen will want to move on to the real thing. Until your son or daughter reaches the age of majority, he or she won't be able to own stocks or open a brokerage account. An alternative is a custodial account, which is set up and controlled by an adult for a minor. Just be aware that once the child reaches the age of majority, he or she has full rights to the assets in a custodial account.
Educate your teen about the difference between full service brokerage companies that offer a wider range of services and charge higher commissions for buying and selling, and discount brokers that leave investment decisions up to the investor and charge less to trade. He or she will also learn that companies have different minimums for opening accounts.
A lasting investment
CPAs agree that when you teach your teenager about investing, you're making an investment of your own. Teens who get into the habit of investing at an early age are more likely to become financially responsible adults.

Preview: Wycombe Wanderers v AFC Wimbledon
Wycombe Wanderers will be marking their 125th anniversary this weekend when they host AFC Wimbledon in a League Two fixture at Adams Park.
Both clubs are now owned by supporters through their respective Trusts and it is a model that has seen the Dons achieve five promotions in their first nine years in existence. The Chairboys first ever game was played on the 24th September 1887 against Wycombe Nose Club. It ended in a goal-less draw on the Rye.
Fast forward 125 years and both clubs share another similarity. They have made disappointing starts to the new season and whilst celebrating our past glories is important, the focus is rightly on performances and results in the present. Our visitors have made the decision, no doubt with a heavy heart, to sack manager Terry Brown after their 1-0 home defeat to Torquay United in midweek. He led the club to three promotions in five years, but with their Football League status at risk, the club decided that action should be taken.
It would be fair to say that where AFC Wimbledon have led, Wycombe Wanderers are following. At least off-the-pitch, through the Supporters Direct ownership model. There is a growing groundswell of a opinion that our new owners will soon also have to follow the Dons in seeking a change of manager following back-to-back away defeats in the space of four days which leave the Blues level on four points at the wrong end of the table.
84 hardy souls / loyalists / mentallers (delete as applicable) travelled to Devon on Tuesday evening to see yet another display of defensive ineptitude which this time included the sacrifice of a lead, twice, at the start of either half. Gareth Ainsworth's deflected strike put the visitors ahead after four minutes at St. James Park but the inevitable equaliser came before the half hour mark
Striker Dean Morgan notched his first goal for the club with a looping header seven minutes after the break but the Chairboys defence was penetrated once again inside all of two minutes and the white flags were being raised midway through the second half when Exeter City scored an all too predictable winner. It leaves the Wanderers with one win in their last fourteen league games and confidence seemingly draining with every defeat.
Manager Gary Waddock might be marked down as the chief culprit by some, but his luck is absolutely rotten at the moment. Goalkeeper Nikki Bull had played every single game since his arrival in June 2010 but he was forced to join the growing list of influential players in the treatment room after finally conceding defeat and resting a pulled thigh muscle. That saw goalkeeper Elliot Parish drafted in at the eleventh hour to make his debut after joining on loan from Cardiff City.
Waddock made five changes to his starting line-up last time out with Parish replacing Bull between the sticks. Danny Foster making his first start of the season at right-back after recovering from a knee injury. Loan defender Adam Thompson dropped to the bench. Defender Dave Winfield also earned a recall in the centre of defence with Leon Johnson serving a one-match band and Anthony Stewart sidelined with a knock. Evergreen winger Gareth Ainsworth and striker Richard Logan were both recalled in preference to defender Charles Dunne and striker Jo Kuffour, both of whom were named on the bench. Matt Parsons was switched to left-back.
Defender Grant Basey was recalled to the bench but there was still no place for striker Matt McClure. Teenage striker Olly Taylor made his second successive appearance as a second half substitute. There was no goalkeeper named on the bench with Matt Ingram having undergone surgery on his knee cartilage and coach Lee Harrison unavailable for personal reasons.
Wycombe Wanderers faced Wimbledon F.C. on numerous occasions in both the Isthmian League and F.A. Amateur cup but have only ever met AFC Wimbledon once in a competitive fixture. That came back in November 2008 in an F.A. Cup first round tie at Kingsmeadow showed live on TV. A hat-trick from striker Matt Harrold and Matt Phillips' first ever goal for the Chairboys sealed a comfortable 4-1 victory.
Gary Waddock has Leon Johnson available again after suspension. Anthony Stewart remains a doubt and there is more bad news with winger Joel Grant struggling with a hamstring problem. He faces a late fitness test. Bull and Ingram are sidelined so Parish will continue in goal. Midfielder Matt Bloomfield isn't fit but will be hoping to return from a groin problem at Dagenham next weekend. Midfielder Sam Wood and striker Dennis Oli face five weeks on the sidelines with ankle ligament and knee damage respectively. Defender Marvin McCoy continues his rehabilitation after damaging ankle ligaments and fracturing his fibula and will be hoping to return at the end of November. The starting eleven against the Dons could look something like this...
Elliot Parish
Danny Foster - Leon Johnson - Gary Doherty - Matt Parsons
Gareth Ainsworth - Matt Spring - Stuart Lewis - Joel Grant
Dean Morgan - Jo Kuffour
Subs: Adam Thompson, Charles Dunne, Dave Winfield, Jesse Kewley-Graham, Lee Angol, Richard Logan, Olly Taylor
AFC Wimbledon have placed Simon Bassey in caretaker charge and it seems likely he will lead the team at the weekend. Former Brentford boss Andy Scott and Lawrie Sanchez are two of the front runners to be named as Terry Brown's successor. They have taken four points from their opening seven matches in League Two, beating Chesterfield and drawing with Dagenham and Redbridge at home and losing the remaining five. They have an even worse defensive record than the Chairboys, having already conceded 18 goals.
The Dons squad is also decimated by injuries and suspensions with leading goalscorer Jack Midson serving the second of a three-match ban. Winger Christian Jolley is also suspended after being sent-off for two bookable offences in midweek. Full-back Curtis Haynes-Brown is doubtful after taking a knock to his knee. Centre-back Mat Mitchel-King suffered a back injury on his return to action following compassionate leave and is also a doubt. Fellow centre-half Pim Balkestein has to be substituted at half-time in midweek with a groin strain and he is almost certainly out.
Defender Callum McNaughton is still recovering from cruciate knee ligament damage and striker Jason Prior continues his rehabilitation from a double leg break. Defender Curtis Osano will miss the next five weeks with an ankle injury. Young defender Jim Fenlon and the midfield duo of Frankie Merrifield and Huw Johnson are not 100% fit after recent injuries. It means that ex-Chairboys Will Antwi and Steven Gregory are certain to start on their returns to Adams Park this weekend. The Dons starting eleven should look something like this...
Seb Brown
George Francomb - Dale Bennett - Will Antwi - Warren Cummings
Rashid Yusseff - Sammy Moore - Steven Gregory - Stacy Long
Byron Harrison -Luke Moore
Subs: Mikhael Jamiez-Ruiz, Angus McDonald, Jim Fenlon, Frankie Merrifield, Huw Johnson, Louis Harris, Charlie Strutton

Will We Ever Find A New Home?
There's no shortage of new MMOs rushing out to meet us these days, it would seem. Neverwinter, Defiance, Firefall, and the list goes on.
But will any of them ever achieve permanence? Will the community of roaming MMO players ever settle on a single game as they did on WoW, so many years ago?
Syl's not sure if they will – and she explores this new, wierd MMO malaise in a new article:
"If we accept this as the future of MMOs, what does it mean for the social factor of the genre? How will bonds be formed within a community of game "grazers" – will they shift to other social media, without specific games retaining their own dedicated community? Or will the experience of playing with and inside an established player base simply disappear?
There have always been MMO players happy to solo and mind their own business, no matter what games they play. And then there are those still looking for the social gaming experience, scrutinizing new games for grouping and guild mechanics. Only – social and cooperative game design matters very little when games can't retain that player base which would rather be inter-railing between virtual worlds. It seems to me this issue matters a great deal more right now than social game design, great group content, guild incentives and whatnot."

Time, Time, Time, see what's become of me…
Last week, I managed to move the overall current stuff playlist to down below 400. I'm planning to add more tunes tonight, so let's make another dent today.
"You're Cordially Invited to My Backyard Passout Fest" by Darrin Bradbury "After the Fight" by Jars of Clay "Are You Listening" by Kopecky Family Band (from their excellent 2013album, Kids Raising Kids) "She Still Loves Me" by SOJA (featuring Collie Buddz) "Victory" by Junior Murvin (who sadly past away last week. He co-wrote the song "Police and Theives" which was covered by The Clash on their self-titled album) "Gypsy Django" by Humming House "Bars" by The Westies "'A' Bomb in Waldour Street" by the Jam "I Like Beer" by Tom T. Hall
TRANSITIONALLY SPEAKING (the track to move us from the Extra to the main shuffle):
"Headed To The Promised Land" by James Crawford (from James Crawford. A definite stand-out track from one of my favorite albums of the year.)
"I'm Waiting for My Man" (live) by Lou Reed (from 1974-05-14 Stockholm. "First thing you learn is you always gotta wait.")
"Age of Immature Mistakes" by Jars of Clay (from Noisetrade Eastside Manor Session. originally released on Inland. Haven't we all been that age? Wait when does that age end?)
"Tower Park" by Humming House (from Humming House. "Western swing and reception drinks
A two-step smile and a foxtrot wink As the bandstand plays, the wedding march." A gem from the self-titled debut by this fast-rising Nashville band.)
"Swamp Song" by Nava Hotel (from Never Loved You. Oh yeah! Some nasty delta blues riffs delivered by this hard rocking band from Nashville.)
BLOGGERS NOTE: Just noticed… from this Nashville-based music blogger who rarely blogged about bands from Nashville (or semi-rarely at most)… 10 of today's 14 songs are by Nashville based artists or at least that have a strong connection to Nashville. Just saying…

Defending the CPS closings
Adam Newman | Tuesday, September 17, 2013
A massive uproar and subsequent controversy resulted from the closing of 50 schools by the administration of Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel. With the Chicago Public Schools (CPS) running a massive $1 billion budget deficit, Emanuel has made unpopular but necessary changes for the City of Chicago.
The Chicago Public Schools have lost much of its student population over past decades. This has led the CPS, with a capacity of 500,000 students, to only have enrollment of 400,000. What is even more shocking is that currently 140 of its 681 schools have more than 50 percent of their seats empty. With every extra seat costing money, there is a high amount of waste in the education system that could go to pay down the deficit and be reinvested in CPS students.
Many people believe the CPS school closing will lead to worse student performance. However, research on the impact of earlier waves of Chicago school closings conducted by the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago and the University of Chicago produced contrary findings. Researchers found that when students left a school, whether due to a school closing or a voluntary leave, their performance was depressed for a year but then continued on the expected trajectory. Students in schools that received a high number of displaced students did not show any harm, either.
It is probable, but not certain, that the changes led to better student performance. The same researchers suggest that students who relocate to a high-performing school will improve their performance. However, the "consolidated" schools that will take in displaced students are only marginally better than the closed schools. The hope is that smart investments made by the city in addition to other reforms made by the Emanuel administration will improve student performance.
Many accusations have been made against Emanuel for racism, as most of the closed schools are in African-American neighborhoods. In a country whose past is filled with atrocious practices of racism, such as slavery, segregation and lynching, the charges of racism against Emanuel are inappropriate. The massive drop in the African-American population is the driving reason behind the school closings. Examining census data, the African-American population in Chicago declined by 17 percent over the past decade. It is important to remember that 91 percent of the CPS students come from minority families, so any school closings would likely affect minorities. If the northern (and more white) areas of Chicago had seen decreased enrollment to the extent that the south and west sides have seen there would have been school closings there as well.
While many parents and teachers have passionately opposed Emanuel's reforms, most do not offer a plan to close the $1 billion deficit faced by CPS schools, or if they have one, they do not highlight it (as it is much easier to tear down someone else's plan than advocate for your own).
To its credit, the Chicago Teacher's Union has offered a way to cover some of the deficit by raising $700 billion in taxes over 10 years. Unfortunately, this plan ignores the current fiscal situation faced by Chicago taxpayers. Chicago has one of the highest tax burdens of any city and Illinois has one of the highest tax burdens of any state. This burden will only rise as Chicago and Illinois begin to pay for unfunded pension and health care liabilities. (The City of Chicago's pension payments this year skyrocketed from $196 million to $612 million, and Illinois currently has the nation's most unfunded liabilities at $133 billion.) While tax increases will have to be a part of the solution, taxes should only be raised after a conscious effort to streamline government. This is neither a liberal nor a conservative idea – it is common sense.
There is no doubt that everyone wants good schools in Chicago, but people still tend to oppose solutions because of a natural aversion to change. It is understandable why teachers and staff would oppose cuts that could lead to job losses and why parents oppose closing schools close to their homes. However, in opposing these changes, they support a Chicago Public School system that is broken, wasteful and badly in need of reform. Some Chicagoans' lack of willingness to accept Emanuel's reforms reflects the saying in politics that "everyone wants to go to heaven, but no one wants to die to go there."

We hate to say it, but after Konami cranked out three nearly identical button-mashing Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle (TMNT) titles on the old-gen systems, game fans, turtle fans, and pretty much everyone else in their '20s who remembered Vanilla Ice's great achievement in acting were left longing for something more. We've all been waiting for a publishing/development team to treat TMNT material with intelligence, humor and design savvy. And one might say we're still waiting.
Enter the internationally diverse publishing powerhouse, Ubisoft. Grabbing the game license based on the upcoming 2007 CGI movie, Ubisoft Montreal has blended kid-friendly action, platforming and simplified Prince of Persia (POP) acrobatics into a single turtle concoction. Coming sooner than you think, TMNT is hitting eight platforms, yes eight, March 20. You'll see it on Xbox 360, PlayStation 2, PSP, PC, Game Boy Advance, Nintendo DS, GameCube, and Wii.
In this new adventure, you'll take on the role of every turtle, Donatello, Rafael, Michelangelo, and Leonardo, with each character prepared to lay down his own special set of moves. And not so surprisingly, you'll face dangerous and dark criminals bent on causing massive destruction to the turtles' home turf, the Big Apple. This episode's evil enemy appears in the form of the mysterious Max Winters who, after being fired from his job, pursues a new career in creating an army of monsters to do his bidding. Even though the turtles have grown apart, there is no doubt you'll combine all of their skills to defeat Winters, who threatens the very heart of the turtle family.
Visually, TMNT takes the easy approach. The turtles look more like moving comic-book characters than "realistic" super heroes. We are talking about teenage mutant ninja turtles here; you know, anthropomorphic, walking, talking turtles, so they're already distinct. One's got the red bandana (and two sai), another's got an orange one (and nunchakus), Donatello has the purple bandana and the quarter staff, and Leonardo dons the blue bandana and wields two katana. Still, Ubisoft Montreal has kept the visuals simple and easy on the eye, using very little next-generation juice to spruce things up. Let us just say that one shouldn't expect the same CG-quality visuals used in the movie.
The animations look decent in this preview build, with some of the better ones showing the turtles shimmying along rooftop walls, running POP-style over cave walls, and hopping, Mario-style, across every object possible. While none of the working public has seen the movie, which hits theaters three days after the game (March 23), the title doesn't appear to spoil too much of the movie's narrative. It does, however, use the same themes and environments as the film. Ubisoft Montreal uses a series of set-cameras, or cinematic camera positions, to capture progression throughout the game. Much like Prince of Persia, Peter Jackson's King Kong, and Onimusha, the camera is set in the most theatrical position possible, sometimes sliding along rails, and sometimes, in boss fights, remaining completely still.
Very much a kids' game, TMNT starts out and remains easy. The first few levels teach players how to perform the basic and necessary moves. All four turtles can jump, double jump, cling to and shimmy on special ridges on walls and cliffs, and they can walk, run, and perform fighting moves. Using arcade games as its model for fighting and the Jade Engine to power it, Ubisoft Montreal's combat moves consist of a simple attack button, a helicopter kick, and a jump and slam move that momentarily pushes enemies away. The attack move links out to combos by simply hitting a single button repeatedly. I gotta tell you, you'll want to link up all the moves, but, sadly, the best strategy is just pressing attack over and over. It's the best way to cream a circle of NY punks with pipes in their hands, anyway.
The game follows a basic familiar formula: Platform through an environment, fight groups of brainless and simple AI, platform some more, then fight a boss. What makes the fights a little more entertaining is the way in which you battle. Along with the basic attacks, an evade move sets up counter attacks. There is also a momentum meter that appears on the upper-left hand side of the screen to indicate multiple uninterrupted attacks. By nailing about 10 to 15 uninterrupted attacks in a row, the turtles will jump into "Turtle Time" (i.e. Bullet Time), slowing enemies down while cleaning them up without restraint. They basically crouch down into their shells and "spin attack" enemies by slamming into their shins until they lose momentum. It's silly, but satisfying.
While the turtles share basic moves, each wields his own weapon and delivers a special move set. Donatello, who wields a quarter staff, uses a pole jump to cross large gaps and pummel enemies lined up in a row. Rafael moves like a quick lithe fighter, cutting enemies into bits using his double sai. Leonardo follows the medium-range fighter type by using his double katana to pummel enemies into the dirt. And Michelangelo flips his nunchakus in a blaze of light to surprise and KO his opponents. Early in the game, you'll fight individually in flashback sequences, but later on the turtles will combine forces to create tag-team combo attacks while still using a simple set of buttons pushes. Finally, each time you complete a level, you'll be graded on time spent, combat performance, and coins collected. The determining factor is always the amount of coins collected. If you achieve a B in timing and an A in combat, and all coins are collected, you'll get bumped up to an A grade and receive descriptive taglines such as "excellent" and "ninja." If you play the Xbox 360 version, the Achievements appear quite easily. I collected four by simply learning each of the four turtles' special moves.
Luckily, TMNT doesn't just consist of side-scrolling fights (though a strong contingent of IGN staffers wouldn't mind a clean port of the old coin-op classic on their newfangled systems). Instead, gamers will find themselves enjoying a mixture of platforming, POP-style, through jungles, sewers, caves, mountainsides, and the streets and rooftops of New York. The turtles will scamper across walls without falling, acrobatically swing from poles and girders, and maneuver over dangerous drops.
The game reminds you how young an audience Ubisoft is aiming for each every five to 10 seconds, too. You'll hear the turtles talking their own brand of turtle smack, issuing familiar catch-phrases such as "wuu-huhu-ho!", "totally awesome!", "cowabunga!", "awesome!", and "super-sensationalistic!" with relentless repetition. Yes, there is no doubt this game is for the youngins', but Ubisoft's game is true to form: the turtles were never the intellectual type. We realize this is also a preview build, but the few phrases were repeated over and over, giving us the feeling that either this preview build is just really early, or we're in for a painful audio experience.
In short, TMNT is a friendly, easy game that will bring back some fond memories, but won't, by any means, challenge the hardcore gaming psychonaut inside of you. Ubisoft's game should appear in nearly identical form on PS2, PC, Xbox 360, PSP, GameCube and Wii, while the Nintendo DS version should differ. Check out the new shots and then return tomorrow for the kick-ass, in-game trailer.

baserip 0.1
The alkali version of acidrip (ffmpeg based).
Latest Version: 0.2-beta2
Baserip is a tool for copying a single video title from a DVD whilst transcoding it. The purpose of this is to make the video available to devices you may have which do not have a DVD player.
Baserip was created because Acidrip is no longer being maintained and I found myself needing a DVD ripper. The design of Baserip is heavily influenced by Acidrip.
Baserip is, in fact, a simple front-end to Mplayer/Mencoder which is itself a front-end to some video encoding and decoding libraries.
Unpack the tarball and go into the top level directory. As root type:
python3 setup.py install
The installation directory is usually: /usr/local/lib/python3.x/dist-utils
Here you will find Baserip. Within Baserip you will find a "share" directory. In this there is a .desktop file and an icon. You can use these to manually add an entry to your desktop menu system.
In order to run Baserip you will need the following:
- Python3
- PyQt4
- pyudev
- mplayer/mencoder
- lsdvd
- lame
Please read the on-line documentation.
Baserip - What's Next
I have been waiting for a fixed version of lsdvd to become available. With the introduction of Ubuntu 14.10 this has been realized. Unfortunately both mencoder and ffmpeg have been dropped in favour of avconv and libav.
Version 0.2 of baserip will use avconv and this work is currently underway. The libav library (and thus avconv) cannot read directly from a DVD drive so I have taken the decision to interface directly with libdvdread in order to present a data stream to avconv for processing. A side-effect of this is that there will no longer be a dependency on lsdvd but, as I am now working at a lower level, getting this code ready is going to take some time.
I do have some code ready with a few enhancements above the 0.1 release including more output containers and more selection over the audio encoding and audio bit rate but because I cannot install ffmpeg along side libav I cannot test this code. If anyone is willing to test for me and maybe even fix any problems then I can release version 0.2 and thus the avconv based version will become version 0.3.
If you are interested in helping out then please contact me at:
- geoff (at) electron dot me dot uk
and I will send you the latest code (minus the libav work). If we can get this working satisfactorally then this will form the basis of version 0.2 and I will continue to work on version 0.3.

The Seror Family of the Middle East
The Seror Family of the Middle EastUpdated February 27, 2003
|Yona Hassibe Srour
255 West 95th St., Apt#2D
United States
Fax: 212-953-6022
|Link to the Free Translator at the bottom.
I've been working on The Seror/Srour Genealogy for the last two years. My heritage is rich in history. We are a very old family. The biggest question in everyone's mind is where did we originally come from? And how did we end up in Lebanon? So far the unproven theory is that we came from Morocco/Tunisia, still unproven. We do have proven documentation that we are indeed from Seville, Spain. Jean-Louis Seror of Algiers and now France told me, that an article written in 1955 by the Great Rabbi of Algiers, Maurice Eisenbeth discussed the exudes of Jews in 1391 from Spain to North Africa. Four families came to Algiers with Rab Ephraim Ankaoua and Rabbi Isaac Bar Checheth called Barfat or Ribach. These families were Stora, Duran, Seror and Benaim. Thousands of Jews immigrated in 1391 because there was a great deal of persecution against the Jews of Seville and Majorca.
There were also a few Seror Rabbis from Algiers between 1625 and 1780. Solly Srour of Wisconsin said that there were three people named Shama, Levy and Srour and they traveled on a pilgrimage to Israel. It is conceivable that if they are descendants of these Rabbi's that they would want to make the excursion to Jerusalem. The three decided to settle in Deir-el-Qamar, Lebanon for two major reasons. Firstly, by being situated on a mountain it gave them relief from the humid weather. Secondly, they traded below in the port city of Sidon, which was then the major port city.
Originally, I had thought that we resided in Lebanon for roughly 400 years and that we immigrated over Northern Africa because of the Spanish Inquisition. However, if we came from Algiers, that would date the Srour family to an estimate immigration from 1725 to 1780, approximately 250 years. When Solly Srour was burying his father Daoud, they found a tombstone that dated back to the crusades (1100's). This tombstone was taken to a museum. This may date Jews in Lebanon back over a thousand years, but probably not the Srour family. The oldest Jewish Families in Lebanon were Srour, Mann, Hannon, and Dana. We also built the synagogue in Deir-el-Qamar.
I have also found some Srours residing in Columbia (we are still looking for the link). They had two ancestors, Jamie Faired and her brother Elijah who built a synagogue in Beirut. They also had a story, which I have heard of before but I don't know from where. The story is of Raphael and another brother; They ran away from Lebanon because they killed a man who was trying to kidnap their sister to marry her. Has anyone heard of this story before?
Another relative, Alfredo Claude Srour, who currently resides in Brazil, spoke with a Rabbi. The Rabbi said that it is possible that the Srour Family is descendants of Queen Esther from The story of Purim. Esther's children after the attempt at genocide were known as the children of Happiness. Srour means happiness. The word Srour is reportedly in the Torah-Tanach twice.
Cousins are missing in Brazil, Argentina, Mexico, Israel and France. If you have any information about a Srour that you know (even with a different spelling) or any information about general Jewry in Lebanon. I am now including books of Seror/Srour/Srur/Serur/Serour/Sroor/Serure/Sroore/Sror from Algeria, Tunisia, Morocco, Egypt and Syria. If you want to register your family. Please email me. If you have any information to add to what I have about the history of the Seror families of the Middle East. Please email me. If you want to be included in the mailing list email me. VERY IMPORTANT, Please email the website address to any and all Srour's in the World.

Anton Yelchin, who starred in the Star Trek reboot franchise, died Sunday in Los Angeles after being struck by his own car on the steep driveway of his home.
The Los Angeles Police Department told CBC News that Yelchin was found pinned against a brick mailbox pillar and a security fence.
"It appears he momentarily exited the car, leaving it in the driveway," said Jenny Houser, a public information officer with the LAPD. "He was behind the car at the time of the death."
Yelchin was on his way to a rehearsal when the accident happened. Friends found him after going to his Studio City home when he didn't show up after several hours.
Co-stars are shocked at the news.
Zachary Quinto, who plays Spock in the new Star Trek films, called Yelchin "one of the most open and intellectually curious people I have ever had the pleasure to know."
Others who knew him called the actor "such a talent" and a "sweetheart."
Anton was a sweetheart. Absolutely a great creative partner and artist.—
This is unreal. Anton Yelchin is such a talent. Such a huge loss.—
Yelchin played Chekov in the film Star Trek (2009) and Star Trek Into Darkness (2013). He will also appear in Star Trek Beyond, set to be released next month.
The Chekov in the first Star Trek series was played by Walter Koenig. Still acting, he is now 79.
Born in Russia, Yelchin began acting in the 1990s, appearing in several television and film roles. His credits also include the Steven Spielberg miniseries Taken and Only Lovers Left Alive.
Watch Yelchin's 2013 interview with CBC about Only Lovers Left Alive and how he chooses his roles below.

With the winter months here you can consider taking some steps to saving money during the time when homes have their highest demand of energy of the year. When this type of thermostat is installed, combined with the use of four pre-programmed temperature settings for weekend and weekdays you could give you a savings of about $180 a year!
Did You Know?
The average household spends more than $2,200 a year on energy bills – nearly half of which goes to heating and cooling. Homeowners can save about $180 a year by properly setting their programmable thermostats and maintaining those settings.
With a programmable thermostat it will make it easier for you to save the optimal amount of money, since there are already pre-programmed settings for when you are home, asleep or away. Here are are the settings for an energy star programmable thermostat:

world evangelism in 1966, our resources are tremendous. One of every three persons
in the world is a nominal Christian.
Further, every major language group has a body of evangelical Christians.
Yet how many of these persons are helping the cause of world evangelism? How many church members ever lead someone to Christ? In America, at least, certainly less than two per cent.
World evangelism is not forwarded by nominal Christians, nor necessarily by evangelical Christians, but by a certain kind whom Jesus called disciples.
Only the disciple has a message. He takes time to look at Jesus and listen to Him, hence can witness to what he has seen and heard (Acts 22:14,15)... He has a motivation: "For we cannot but speak of what we have seen and heard" (Acts 4:20). He has a method - Jesus said, "...Follow Me, and I will make you fishers of men" (Matthew 4:19). . Following Christ, he learns how to catch men.
Making disciples was central in Jesus' ministry. Though great multitudes followed Him, He chose only the totally dedicated to help Him in His ministry.
This is where He told us to begin. "Go therefore and make disciples of all nations..." (Matthew 28:19,20). The command is not merely to go, but to make disciples. Further, we must make disciple makers. Jesus said, "...make disciples... teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. . ." The "all" includes making more disciples, who will in turn multiply.
This emphasis, prominent in the early church, has been largely obscured in later centuries. Therefore we again approach world evangelism with the task of multiplying disciples — beginning with those we have and teaching them to make disciples.
to do this we must first have a pattern, a picture of what a disciple is. The
Scriptures give us this pattern.
First, a disciple is identified with the Person of Christ. He openly confesses Christ before men (Romans 10:9,10), is baptized (Matthew 28:19,20), and takes up his cross (Luke 9:23). He is publicly identified with Christ whether this is popular or unpopular.
Second, a disciple is obedient to the Word of Christ. Jesus said, "...If you continue in My Word, you are My disciples" (John 8:31). The disciple seeks to obey the Scriptures in every area of life. Third, he bears fruit in the work of Christ. One fruit is love. "By this all men will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another" (John l3:35). Another fruit is lives influenced towards Christ.' "...Go and bear fruit" (John 15:16).
But how do we make disciples - those who are identified with, obedient to, and bearing fruit for Christ?
One effective method is that of the disciple-maker's gathering a few potential disciples into a "koinonia" fellowship group. Canon Samue1 Shoemaker said, "Every congregation needs two things - the formal service for worship, the informal gatherings for fellowship." Robert Raines says, "A small group is necessary for ...personal and mutual encouragement. The strategy for our time is the small-group approach."
Such small groups of two or three, at most ten or twelve, are at the heart of disciple-making. The Church has largely failed to encourage such groups, but they are beginning to spring up around the world, and we should recognize their value and potential.
Unless the groups center around testimony, Scripture, and prayer, however, they become mere social gatherings, without disciple-making dynamic.
Giving testimony in the group, the disciple identifies himself with Christ and commits himself further. Bible-based testimony is a powerful spiritual weapon (Revelation 12:11).
In order to obey the Scriptures the disciple must know them. "He who has my commandments and keeps them..." (John 14:21). Bishop Stephen Neill says, "Competent knowledge of the Bible is the only basis for effective Christian witness."
No one bears fruit without prayer. "If you abide in Me, and My words abide in you, ask whatever you will, and it shall be done for you" (John 15:7).
The disciple-maker acts as leader, not lecturer, helping members individually and in the group. The group member learns to give testimony among sympathetic Christians before testifying outside. He shares with others his own study and meditation in the Scriptures. He learns to pray, claiming the promise of Matthew 18:19.
Thus prepared by the koinonia group in testimony, the Scriptures, and prayer, he now comes to the critical matter of learning to do evangelism. He should be trained on the job or in the battle. "Learning the art of Christian service," says Bishop Newbigin, "must largely be by doing."
The Twelve watched Jesus as He did evangelism. Then He sent them out, training them through guided experience. The disciplemaker, who is a veteran of the battles for which he is training new recruits, should show them how to do evangelism, then help them actually begin to do it on their own.
He should first give them a tool, a method, some simple outline which incorporates the basic Gospel message concerning the Person and work of Christ. Having an outline to follow gives the disciple confidence and liberty. He learns, of course, to use whatever method or tool fits the opportunity.
The disciple may be guided into formally structured evangelistic endeavors, such as counseling at a Billy Graham Crusade or helping inquirers after a church service. Or he may join in informally structured activities, learning to talk with people personally after the Gospel is presented at a luncheon or tea by testimony, message or film. The koinonia group itself may plan evangelistic events in which its members can participate.
best training in creative evangelism, however, is through everyday, unstructured
channels of witness in office,
neighborhood, among family and friends.
From these experiences the disciple learns he can talk with people about Christ, that friendship opens opportunities, that the Holy Spirit gives power, and that he needs more answers. He goes back to his church, his koinonia group, for answers and encouragement. He is not theorizing now; he is practicing.
Thus he continues to come in for fellowship and instruction and to go out for evangelism. He has his Cave of Adullam and Valley of Rephaim.
When in due time he reaps, he must help disciple his converts, getting them into a church, into koinonia fellowships, and eventually into doing their part in evangelism. He will have become a disciple, will be making disciples, and at length will make disciple-makers, following Paul's method of entrusting what he has heard and learned to faithful men able to teach others (II Timothy 2:2).
"And the Word of God increased; and the number of the disciples multiplied..." (Acts 6:7).

(Literary Essentials: World Fiction)
Xala narrates several weeks in the life of an African businessman, Abdou Kader Beyè, called "El Hadji." The brief novel traces his rapid decline from affluence to total humiliation and ruin.
As the novel begins, El Hadji is at the peak of his career, a rich man respected and even envied by his fellow businessmen. He is about to be married to his third wife, N'Gone, a pretty young woman who has flattered him with her attentions. Taking a third wife marks him as a "captain," a leader in West African culture, in which a man's success is measured by the number of wives he can support. Each of El Hadji's wives has her own villa and well-appointed household, complete with cars, a chauffeur, and many money-hungry children.
El Hadji collects his two wives and takes them (as custom dictates) to his wedding party, where they are to meet the new wife and welcome her without jealousy. The first two wives—Adja Awa Astou and Oumi N'Doye, respectively—leave, and as the party descends into raucous ribaldry, El Hadji is taken away by Yay Bineta, his new wife's officious aunt, who has functioned as the matchmaker. It is Yay Bineta's responsibility to prepare the husband and wife for their wedding night, and she therefore encourages El Hadji to perform certain tribal rituals to ensure his potency. He refuses, dismissing the acts as foolish superstition.
Alone with his new bride, El Hadji is filled with desire, but the unthinkable happens: He is impotent. Never before has such a thing happened to him. When he admits his failure to Yay Bineta, she tells him that someone must have put a curse of impotence, a xala (pronounced "hala"), upon him.
For days El Hadji agonizes over his problem, consulting countless marabouts (healers) and paying exorbitant fees to them, with no result. He neglects his business, and his...

The Bedford County Sheriff's Office and the Virginia State Police are assisting the Montgomery County (MD) Police Department with a homicide investigation, according to a news release from the Sheriff's Office.
Last week investigators from the Montgomery County Police Department, Cold Case Squad, traveled to Bedford County and met with investigators from the Bedford County Sheriff's Office and Virginia State Police.
A Forest man has been arrested for attempting to abduct a 13-year-old boy Monday at a bus stop, as well as attacking several other residents.
At 8:22 a.m. Monday, September 8, Bedford County Sheriff's Office deputies responded to Jane Randolph Street in Forest after receiving a call from a mother who reported that her 13 year old son had returned home from his bus stop.
Josey Ray Edwards, 25, and Angelina Delores Brooks, 31, both from Amherst, were found guilty in Bedford County Circuit Court of grand larceny on Tuesday.
Brooks pleaded guilty to the charge while Edwards entered a no contest plea. A no contest plea means that the defendant does not admit guilt, but agrees that there is enough evidence to convict him.
Harry Claiborne Dillard, 61, a former physical education teacher with Bedford County Public Schools, will face all three aggravated sexual battery charges against him in one trial.
Dillard was in Bedford County Circuit Court, Tuesday morning, to determine if the charges would be tried at one time, or in separate trials.
The Bedford County Sheriff's Office is investigating a forgery and uttering that recently occurred.
During the course of the investigation it was discovered that the same female suspect is allegedly responsible for similar crimes in Waynesboro, Chesterfield and the town of Bedford. These crimes with this suspect have been occurring since June 2014.
A Bedford man is facing three charges of aggravated sexual battery for incidents that allegedly occurred between 2004-2006.
Mario Rivero, 43, is set for a jury trial on the charges on Sept. 30. The charges allege he inappropriately touched a girl under the age of 13 years old. He was arrested last August and indicted in December of last year.
He has been out on bond.
The Roanoke man charged with allegedly trying to hire a hit man to murder his estranged wife will be evaluated to see what his competency was at the time the allegation took place.
Kevin Colgan remains in jail where he has been since he was arrested on June 19 after allegedly trying to hire the hit man who was actually an undercover officer with the Bedford County Sheriff's Office.
A former physical education teacher with Bedford County Public Schools has been charged with three counts of aggravated sexual battery of students while he was working at Montvale Elementary School.
The incidents allegedly occurred in 2011 and 2012 during gym classes at the school.
A 22-year-old Goodview man pleaded guilty Tuesday morning to involuntary manslaughter, in connection with a single-vehicle accident last year that killed a Bedford man.
Durham Westley Falabella, who is scheduled to be sentenced Oct. 21, could face from one to 10 years in prison on the involuntary manslaughter conviction and 12 months in jail on a misdemeanor driving under the influence conviction.
Falabella entered the pleas in Bedford County Circuit Court; he was indicted on the charges in April.
The investigation remains ongoing into the officer-involved shooting in Bedford County July 30; the man who was killed has been identified.
At the request of the Bedford County Sheriff, the Virginia State Police Bureau of Criminal Investigation's "Police Shooting Investigative Team" out of the Salem Field Office is investigating the fatal shooting of the man by a Bedford County deputy sheriff.

As a resident of Washington since being moved to Fort Lewis in the early 1990s, I have been happy to call the South Sound home. I have hoped that my local teams would do well and cheered for their victories. But never would I have expected fans from what I now call my home state to be disrespectful.
I am visiting the East Coast and on Saturday brought my family to the most solemn of places, Arlington National Cemetery. There I witnessed something that made me ashamed. While others held silence respectfully, four individuals chanted, "Seahawks! Seahawks! Seahawks!"
When I questioned them, they told me that they had arrived that morning and were going to the game on Sunday. I asked them to please keep it down while on hallowed grounds. The responce I received was, " Oh, you must be a Redskins fan."
I hope that these few people are the minority. I hope this group of people is not who I return to next week.

New Delhi: Samajwadi Party chief Mulayam Singh Yadav on Wednesday came out in support of actor Aamir Khan and said the government must talk to him and find out why he feels hurt.
"He may have been hurt somewhere," Mulayam Singh said, responding to Aamir Khan's wife Kiran Rao's suggestion that the couple must look for another place to live in view of rising intolerance in India.
"The government should talk to him and ask where he faced problems. It is the responsibility of the government. He might have been hurt somewhere, he is a big artist. We respect him," he said.

If he wanted to, Lightning captain Steven Stamkos could squash any potential drama leading up to the Feb. 29 trade deadline.
Stamkos, 26, has a full no-move clause, meaning he holds all the cards. Even if the Lightning wanted to trade him, it would need his okay.
So if Stamkos plans to stay with the Lightning at least through the end of the season, as many expect, he can just say: I'm not going anywhere.
But he isn't saying that, at least not publicly, with comments from him and agent Don Meehan seemingly leaving the door open to anything.
"The trade deadline is coming up in a couple weeks, I'm sure everyone will have some answers in a couple weeks when that comes," Stamkos said Thursday. "We've kept everything to ourselves and I know it sucks for you guys (the media). But I think you can appreciate the way we've conducted doing business and whatever happens in the next couple weeks, there's obviously going to be some answers."
Perhaps Stamkos is just maintaining the code of silence his representatives at Newport Sports and GM Steve Yzerman have kept during the negotiations. Stamkos may not want to paint himself into a corner by answering a hypothetical.
"There's no use in me speculating and saying things that someone can twist," he said.
But Meehan also gave an interesting response when he was asked Wednesday by Toronto's Sportsnet The Fan radio if the trade deadline was a factor. Meehan paused for several seconds. "I think that's a sensitive issue," he said.
When pressed as to why it's sensitive, Meehan said:
"I think that's just a self-evident issue. Because beyond the trading deadline, there's no possibility to move a player, to move the asset."
There's been no indication the Lightning has, or will, ask Stamkos to waive his no-move clause. Plus, it could be hard to imagine Tampa Bay's playoff chances getting better by dealing Stamkos, no matter the return for a player who becomes an unrestricted free agent July 1.
What would Stamkos decide if he's asked by the Lightning to waive his no-move clause?
"I haven't even thought about that," he said. "I think the answer is, 'We'll cross that bridge at the time,' and I don't think it's that time now."

Post subject: Question Regarding the DLC (PS3/360)
I'm reading the descriptions of all the DLC now. By the way, I'm in America.
I'm confused a bit. Several of the descriptions seem to say somewhat of the same thing. For example, one DLC is the "metal claws," but when I read the description of another DLC, it says "get the first batch of NG3 DLC all in one pack! Tear your enemies apart with the metal claws etc. etc.".
Which makes me ask, is some content repeated in these DLC's? Or does each and every NG3 DLC have exclusive content?
An example that would NOT include exclusive content is, a pack of 4 stage songs for Soul Calibur V, even though you could buy each of these 4 songs separately....if that makes sense. so, doing all 5 transactions (the pack of 4, and then those four songs individually) is obviously a waste of money, since when you buy the pack you already have the 4 songs. In fact, it is even listed on them to "make sure you don't buy this content twice", through regarding NG3 DLC, I'm confused.
Thanks in advance.

There are individual packs and there are some packs that include some repeated packs. There is a pack that included trials and one of the DLC weapons to be usable in mutliplayer. There was also a bug that if you downloaded just the pack to use the Falcon Talons in multipalyer, it would unlock the trials. I forget if it did the same thing with the scythe. The pack that includes multiple DLC will pr

They really fvcked up with the DLC.
They should've kept it simple. Buying the claws should be buying the claws, period. Use in story/multiplayer/whatever, not have a pack saying unlock the claws to be useable online and/or story, then have another pack saying something awfully similar while including other content like trails, equipment and other crap.
Plus just the metal claws DLC technically only says "use online" but it's useable in story also? Who wrote these descriptions anyway?

What I don't understand is why the claws and scythe are free for story mode but not for mission mode what sense does that make?!

NG3 has been a complete disappointment from every angle although NG3 RE has been better I had to buy a wii u for it and a "pro controller" which F***ing SUCKS! The added story line elements in NG3 RE make no sense what so ever I dont understand why Ayane would be working w Irene? and Irene's obsession w/ Ryu (as they made it seem) and adding random DOA characters is a desperate attempt. I just hope for NG4 they consult w/ Itagaki-san.. Hayashi should drive a katana into his stomach.......

If they really want to make me happy they will come out with a weapons pack that includes The True Dragon Sword, Tonfas, The Kitetsu and several versions of the dual swords ex= Tiger fang and dragon claw(default) True Dragon sword with Archfiend, Dragon Sword and Kitetsu
and last but not least the Kitetsu and the Archfiend blade
I would also like the braclets they had in ng1. It would be nice to have some extra perks like better defensive or offensive power.
All in all I would say it would be nice to have ryu have all the weapons he has acquired over the last two games. Makes for more versatility when playing.

Vaughan deal extended
Leicester have moved to extend the loan deal of Everton striker James Vaughahn until the rest of the season.
Vaughan has been with the Foxes since mid-March, making five appearances so far. Injury has halted Vaughan's progress somewhat since his switch to the Walkers, as he is yet to make a start in Pearson's play-off hunting side.
Brief substitute appearances against Cardiff, West Brom, QPR and Peterborough have been the only opportunities for Vaughan so far, with the first City goal still elusive.
But an assist for Andy King off the bench on Saturday at London Road will have done much to boost the confidence of the striker, who still holds the mantle of being the Premier League's youngest ever goalscorer.

John Shea from the winter meetings in Dallas.
General manager Brian Sabean met with Bay Area media tonight and quickly shot down a morning report that the Giants submitted a bid on Japanese shortstop Hiroyuki Nakajima.
"We did not bid on the Japanese shortstop. Not. N.O.T. Enough said," Sabean said.
I asked if he bid on anyone in this country, and he said, "We've made a few bids in this country. That's not going too well. The bidding in general is not going very well."
Sabean reiterated what manager Bruce Bochy said earlier today, that there's not much more space remaining in the projected $130 million payroll to add much more offense. Jerry Hairston Jr., among the middle infielders linked to the Giants, signed a two-year deal with the Dodgers.
In terms of the outfield, Sabean spoke of the "window probably closing given what their needs seem to be" on Cody Ross. That might go for the Carlos Beltran window, too, considering built-in raises and projections for arbitration-eligible players, including Tim Lincecum and Pablo Sandoval.
"The window could be closing on a lot of opportunities based on what we think our flexibility is," Sabean said. "Without getting into specfic dollars, we only have so much to spread."
Sabean added, "One of the contingencies you have to lay out, which we've done contually, is what if we go forward with Belt and Pill at first base? What if we ask Huff to play left field? What if we do or don't do something with Fontenot, Keppinger and Torres etc. That's still fluid, still all int he mix . . . and Crawford being the shortstop. What we've established is, we're more and more comfortable with our younger players, and we'll see what opportunites present themselves, and it could be sooner or later we make a decision to be definitive about it."
If Aubrey Huff plays a lot in left field, first base might be a mix-and-match situation.
"We'll let it play out and be decided in spring training," Sabean said. "One of the things we've enjoyed the last couple of years is depth and flexibility. Having said that, if Huff is the left fielder, we obviously need a strong fourth outfielder, someone who can pick up some games in left field if not go in as a defensive replacement."
What about Torres? Management need to decide by Dec. 12 whether to tender him (along with Fontenot and Keppinger) arbitration.
Sabean said Mark DeRosa has made it known he's open to returning to the Giants if they're interested. "I don't see anything happening immediately," Sabean said.
I asked Bochy this morning, and I asked Sabean tonight: Are you comfortable with the offense as is?
"You have to make do with what the blue print presents itself to be financially," Sabean said. "That's what we're trying to do, we're trying to be creative within that. Again, we only have so much money to spread, and you have to play with 25 guys. Until we get a team on the field and start the season and score more runs, to answer your question, you're not comfortbable with the offense we had, given our low water mark last year."
Assistant GM Bobby Evans spoke briefly with Lincecum's camp — "a courtesy," Sabean said, "to show we're still open-minded (about a long-term deal) and how we can proceed.
Sabean did speak of a trade possibilit, based on today's developments, and said he's open to acquiring someone a year from free agency. "That wouldn't concern us depending on what we had to give up," he said.

Chickpea Scramble
1 (15 ounce) can chickpeas, drained
2 tablespoons tamari (I use low sodium)
1/2 teaspoon Tabasco, to taste
2 tablespoons nutritional yeast
1/2 yellow onion, chopped
1/2 cup white mushrooms, chopped
1-2 tablespoons non-hydrogenated margarine (I use Earth Balance)
1 clove garlic, diced, optional
1 red bell pepper, sliced
1/2 cup frozen corn
2 cups cooked brown rice
2-3 tomatoes, chopped
2 teaspoons non-hydrogenated vegan sour cream (I use Tofutti)
salt and pepper, to taste
1. Mash chickpeas in a bowl with the tamari, Tabasco, and nutritional yeast. Set aside.
2. Saute onion and mushroom (and garlic, if using) in margarine for 3-5 minutes on medium heat, covered.
3. Add bell peppers, chickpea mash, and corn. Cover and cook about 3 minutes.
4. Add rice, tomatoes, and sour cream and stir everything together. Cover and cook until everything is piping hot. Season, to taste.
How did I not notice this recipe before? It is sooo good! I made it for supper but I can see this will be a new breakfast treat for when I get tired of microwaved potato and hummus. I left out the corn and the nooch (we don't have nooch here) but it was very good anyway. I have plenty left over for breakfast!
Found this recipe/site TOTALLY by accident....made this within hours of reading it, and its delicious!! So glad because I too try not to do tofu every single day and was looking for a high protein breakfast addition. I had mine in a wrap with lettuce and tomato and it was sooo good!
WOW!!! ;)b after my workout every morn i crave the protein from tofu scramble or tofu breakfast sandwich, but today i just wasn't "feeling it" this recipe was a WONDERFUL change!
i made a few changes, i was too lazy to make rice so i mashed in some breadcrumbs with the chickpeas, i also added thyme, chili powder, garlic, cumin, lemon juice, and a couple teaspoons of chili powder (warning: chili powder is not for the faint of heart, WE LOVE SPICE!!) i omited the tomatos since i was making a breakfast burrito and loading it up with salsa (my tummy can only do so much acid)
i loved that it made so much that i can have it again tomorrow!
i could go on and on about how yummy it is!
Its good. I have a bunch of chick peas I had soaked and cooked that needed to be cooked today so I doubled it. very good idea to cover it as its sauteed. that way the moisture did not evaporate as it cooked. it created a lot of broth for the rice to soak up. a little odd having rice for breakfast. but, when i was in japan rice was a breakfast staple. it leaves you less weighted down then with potatoes. thanks for sharing
Hot damn, that was yummy. I didn't have all the right ingredients, so I fried up cubed yukon golds, zucchini, and red onion and stirred cumin, garlic salt and the tabasco into the chickpeas. The tabasco sauce really is a must have ingredient, she was spot on with that one. It added such a tasty little kick to the dish. I used ketchup as a condiment and I wolfed the meal down in about two seconds.
:P this recipe was ok... i added turmeric to make it appear more yellow and twice the tofutti, that's all i changed... the recipe by itself was not that wonderful but it tasted really good in a breakfast burrito with flour tortillas, ketchup, "sour cream", and "sausage" (see pic)... so i gave it 4 out of 5 stars... i liked the tofu scramble more but I can only eat so much soy in a day before I start to feel nauseous.
