Curry mela 12 comming soon...
Will be up by noon tomorrow...
Get the entries comming in...
Comming sooon
The Ultimate Bachelor Cooking blog; Easy Recipes, cooking Tips and healthy Food for all Bachelors and Rookie Cooks.
You may use any frsh water fish like Catla( katla?), Rohu, Mrigal, Golden carp, Grass Carp, to make this fish curry.
In the simplest form, which is as staple as daal to a Bengali, this is cooked with Shahi Jeera, and Dhania Jeera powder with chillis.
I added a little Ginger- garlic paste and of course my favorite peas. Tomatoes is optional.
5-6 Fish Steaks (3/4 th of an inch thick.)
Half a cup of green peas
Methi, Shahi Jeera, Heeng, Bayleaves, Green chilis, Dhania-Jeera Powder
Hang them all.
Better lynch them.
They were so obviously high with power that they shot a lady who happened to protest what?
Who protested when they eve teased!!! Yes eve teased, and eve teasing her daughter in law.
Meher Bhargava was shot, who later succumbed to the bullet wound, because she objected when some young men were eve teasing, her daughter in law.
A vivacious socialite, Bhargava had dared local goons who passed lewd remarks at her young daughter-in-law in the compound of a residential apartment, a stone's throw from the office-cum-residence of the district police chief. [ link ]
And she got shot!
Why shouldn't they get shot in return?
This are the times when I think death penalty or torture are justified.
Men have become too civilized, I mean us, not them or have we become cowards?
I still remember when my Uncles ( My father elder bro and a younger one) once beat up a couple of guys, one of then a Minister Brat, at the gate of our house because they were passing lewd remarks at the neighbor's young daughters. They were beaten black and blue and let go when they started running and shouted back that they will shoot my uncle. Well, it was their mistake. They were chased and beaten again, and had to be hospitalized for a long time. It was during a Kaang or Rath Jatra
My grandpa gave verbal thrashing for a few days to my uncles, because he had spent money on the hospital expenses and had to face the Parents of the Kids.
Another of my younger uncles commented that the uncles who actually beat the guys up had grown up in hard times and that we were still not quite uncivilized, like the Wild West. Justice was taken into one's own hands to soon.
But I think we have become too civilized. Maybe it is a rant, and unrealistic, but the best solution for such crimes that strike at the heart of a social set-up, of civilization, is to adopt what my uncle called uncivilized means.
I don't know what our justice system will offer them in the form of punishment.
Will the punishment deter future goons from repeating the same crime?
If not, then there is no point even wasting valuable court time and resources.
The justice system and the government is not in the business of taking revenge, but the punishment should be so harsh that such crimes are not repeated.
The sentence should serve as a deterrent to future power kids from misusing their Power.
I don't like the sound of the MLA's though.
The culprits should be Punished, otherwise Meher Bhargava would have died in vain.
Nobody will dare ever raise a voice against any injustice, if voices could be silenced so easily.
Desipundit is spearheading a campaign for justice.
Do join in.
Blog about it.
Lets do our bit.

Pan Roasted baby Potatoes, and you know how much I love anything potatowee.
You don't even have to guess that I will be trying this out first thing tomorrow..
This is Ají de Gallina, which could translate to Chicken Ají.
The history of Ají de Gallina could be traced back to the French Revolution (1789) which brought in Europe the bloom of new forms of politics, economics and, of course, traditions; new ways of thinking, new spiritual tendencias and certainly new cooking. Many of the noblemen's cooks lost their jobs after the Revolution and so decided to travel to the New World, bringing to this side of the world new recipes and techniques.
Z for Zunka and yeah you got it right....About the Blogger that is.. It indeed was a long and very intersting series... I hope a new one starts soon..
Normally, Prawn Sambal is cooked with unpeeled prawns. I do not prefer that as it is very troublesome to eat like that though cooking so retains the juices of the prawns. I like it peeled and deveined. Easier to eat. My mom adds fried potatoes to prawn sambal. I love the irresistible taste of the potatoes mixed with the juices of the prawns. In a word, the potatoes taste like prawn.
************* **************************
Eezy Breezy chicken curry is what the blogger calls this... the evergreen Indian dish.
Beans and greens, this is one heck of a healthy food and My favorite too.. Goes well with roti, and by itself too..
*********************** *** **************************
Sprouts Pulao
Count the number of ways in which it is healthy - needs 1 tablespoon oil, uses any number of vegetables you wish to add and a cupful of sprouts - a low carb, protein packed food.
Sesame flavored rice or Nuvullu Annam is a light flavoured rice delicacy, enriched with nutrients from seasame seeds and Indian spices.This dish is simple unlike a pampered biryani..:)in the fact that the main ingredient is only sesame seeds with the infusion of spices like curry leaves and mustard seeds in the tempering. Sesame seeds have no aroma but the flavor intensifies by lightly dry roasting the seeds giving it a sweet and nutty taste. [ says the blogger]
Kesar Pulao......................
Before biryanis became Mughlai food, they were part of Persian culture in the royal courts of Delhi during the medieval period. The word biryani comes from the Persian "birian", which means "fried" or "roasted". The Persians had a major rice dish in their pulao. ---by the blogger
Here goes the Gherkins story...Well Gherkin is a young cucumber picked when it is 1 to 3 inches and mostly used for pickling. Gherkin may have probably originated in India. Well for the few who are wondering what gherkins in your mother tongue is , it is nothing but
Dondakai in Telugu
Kovakai in Tamil
Tindoora in Hindi
Tendli in Marathi
and finally Gherkins in English
Fried cauliflowers, or gobi Bhaji. This is cauliflower dipped in a flour batter and deep fried. My favorite Snack food... have cooked it oh so often.
This cabbage with coconut, or cabbage thoran a lovely south Indian food. Kerala to be more precise..
This is a signature Kerala dish…If there is an event which serves lunch then this dish is a sure thing as an accompaniment. Super easy to make, good to look at,nutritious and delicious are some things going in favor of this dish. Cabbage thoran and fish with some rice is one of those 'perfect food pairings'.
Pitle - Besan/ Gram Flour Curry
Pitle is as integral to the Maharashtrian Thali as sambar is to the South Indian.Some call it Bombay Chutney. There are several interpretations of this most common of dishes and all those who make it regularly will vow that their way is the most authentic.
PS: Everything in italics except this have been written by the respective blogger.
One more warning to random, please don't copy pictures from here and use without prior permission from repsective blogger. If you wish to take mine, do so with pleasure. If you do provide a link back as source as a courtesy it be great.
It is 3:40 AM already. Let me get some sleep.
Here is another last minute entry.
And because there are no rules and because I love veg pakoras, like I have cooked here, here is an amazing step by step display of frying veggie pakodas or Fritters from an Indian IT pro working in a small town America. [
I am facing some probs uploading photos into blogger, but believe me the post has some amazing pictures....]

BOSTON � Before Sunday afternoon�s contest with the Orioles, manager Terry Francona divulged a little of what he told starter Kyle Weiland before the latter�s major-league debut.
BOSTON - Before Sunday afternoon's contest with the Orioles,
manager Terry Francona divulged a little of what he told starter
Kyle Weiland before the latter's major-league debut.
"I told him to enjoy himself because he'll never have another
day like this in his life," said Francona.
You can bet on that.
Weiland's major-league debut was, if nothing else, unique. He
survived a six-run second inning and eventually settled in, only to
be ejected in the fifth by home-plate umpire Marty Foster for
hitting Vladimir Guerrero with a pitch. Weiland departed the game
three outs shy of qualifying for a win.
It's the kind of day few players in the history of the game have
ever experienced.
"It's not exactly what you had written out and planned for. It
is what it is, and it's a great experience," said Weiland. "I got
the first one under the belt. Obviously I would have liked for a
few things to go different."
It was certainly an afternoon of highs, lows and dizzying
middles for Weiland. He retired the side in order in his first
major-league inning and allowed six runs and seven hits in his
second. He became just the seventh player in major-league history
to be tossed from his debut, according to SABR's David Vincent.
It was the abrupt end to the day that will probably be the most
memorable part of the pitcher's debut. Foster had issued warnings
to both benches in the fourth after Baltimore's Jeremy Guthrie hit
Kevin Youkilis with a changeup. When Weiland's sinker stayed in on
Guerrero and hit the slugger in the right hand, the home-plate ump
ejected him and Francona immediately.
"I didn't think the warnings were really warranted. Youkilis got
hit on a changeup," Weiland said. "That was a little confusing that
we got warned. But if that's the way the rules go, I know with the
past few games, you can't really do much about it. I had to take a
"It was a changeup," Francona said about the pitch that hit
Youkilis. "They're not going to hit - I wasn't mad. Nobody was mad.
Youk got hit by a changeup. I was very surprised."
In his first day in the big leagues, Weiland managed to join an
exclusive club by getting ejected in his debut. The list includes
Aaron Boone and John Lannan. The last player to earn an ejection in
his debut was Atlanta's Francisley Bueno. Bueno was tossed in his
heretofore only career game on Aug. 13, 2007.
It's natural that the end of Weiland's day would obscure all
that preceded it. There were signs both encouraging and
disappointing in Weiland's first four innings.
He appeared cool and in command in the first, getting a pop-up,
called third strike and groundout from the first three hitters. The
second inning didn't go quite as smoothly.
Weiland walked Matt Wieters with one out before serving up a
first-pitch, two-run homer to Derrek Lee. That was followed by a
double and five singles - three of the infield variety and a fourth
a bloop to right.
Weiland said afterward that the game got away from him in that
"The game did speed up on me a little, and I admit that," he
said. "That's where I've got to learn to step off and compose
[myself] and get back on and be the same pitcher [I] would be
[with} nobody on, nobody out."
"I think you have to credit [the Orioles]," catcher Jason
Varitek said. "He threw the ball much better than that inning's
Weiland rebounded nicely in the following two innings. He struck
out Lee in the third and got a double play from Nolan Reimold after
hitting Mark Reynolds in the hand. The seemingly innocuous hit by
pitch would resonate later.
Weiland worked around a leadoff walk in the fourth with the help
of a caught-stealing from Varitek.
Through it all, Weiland somehow handled his whirlwind afternoon
with a sort of aplomb. Was it the way he dreamed about it all these
years? No. But it was a dream nonetheless.
"I definitely have tasted it, so I'm excited about the next
one," he said. "Who knows when that'll be, but I'm definitely
excited for it."

This is so far from the reality of my life... I love reading about it.ReplyDelete
And I love hearing about your life. We live polar opposite lives. Except where it counts! :)Delete
I know! My reaction exactly!Delete

Ohhhh I used to get terrible motion sickness on car trips! And boats...fuggedaboutit. That's what they make Dramamine for! Another good post, Diane! :-)ReplyDelete
I have to try this Dramamine you mention. Sounds like a life-saver if there ever was one!Delete
As a child I got so very carsick, every trip had me carrying a bucket on my lap. There's no way I could have gone on a "field trip" like that.
I'm fine now, in cars and on boats and planes, trains too, buses most of the time but if the destination means lots of winding side streets, I'd better stay home.
I'm with you. Bucket and all . . .Delete
One of the reasons I love your post because most every story brings back a memory or two. My father had a ranch and he also farmed. We would go over in our car often to the ranch area and your story could be my story. I love our Sunday rides except for going on unpaved roads. I loved this one!
You've made my day, LeAnn! My greatest thrill as a writer is sharing memories or helping someone else remember theirs. Here's to farm life!Delete

Many supporting pastors at churches (i.e. youth pastors, small-group pastors, worship pastors, children's pastors, etc.) get discouraged by their senior pastor's micromanagement.
Some people like to be micromanaged because they don't want to be accused of thinking too far outside the box or pushing the limits. So micromanagement fits them because someone comes alongside them and tells them what to do every step of the way.
However, leaders don't like to be micromanaged … in fact, they hate it.
Most people who are hired to work on a church staff are leaders (meaning true leaders; not just those who are given the title "leader," but those who actually have a gift for leadership). Checking up on every detail in a true leader's work life feels to them like a lack of trust.
Leaders never thrive in an environment where there is a lack of trust.
The bottom line for micro managers is this: Stop it!!
You are sucking the joy out of the people you are leading. When their work is not a joy, they will eventually no longer want to work for you.
Micromanagers ensure that their organization will have a revolving door with staff going in and out all the time.
Okay, let's shift gears; my intent for today's post is to address something that should never be mixed up or confused with micromanagement, and that's MACROmanagement.
What do I mean?
Macromanagement is vision. It is setting the course from 30,000 feet, pointing the direction, determining the strategy, getting the team excited, and letting them run to fulfill the vision!
There are two tragic mistakes in organizational life where macromanagement is concerned.
The first tragedy is when there is no macromanagement.
Vision is the fuel for your organization and for those you lead. Vision excites them, motivates them, inspires them, makes them want to try harder and, ultimately, creates a stronger work ethic.
The second tragic mistake regarding macromanagement is when macromanagement and micromanagement are confused with one another.
They are sometimes confused because they both get results. However, they do it in very different ways: Micromanagement gets results by lighting a fire under people's butts, but macromanagement gets results by lighting a fire in people's hearts!

DevOps doesn't mean replacing all manual testing with automation
I've been noticing a disturbing trend recently that I'm going to call the myth of 100% automated testing. Clients I've worked with and articles I've read are talking about test automation as a solution that can replace manual testing. The idea is that true Continuous Integration/Continuous Delivery (CI/CD) requires a fully automated test suite. Supposedly, … Read more

Charges in B.C. sawmill explosions to be decided by Crown
The WorkSafeBC investigations into two deadly explosions at B.C. sawmills earlier this year have been completed and results passed on to Crown counsel in B.C. to review and possibly lay charges.
The agency's senior vice-president, Roberta Ellis, said it will now be up to Crown counsel to determine if charges are pursued under the Workers Compensation Act.
"Four workers lost their lives, 42 workers were injured, some of them extremely seriously," she said.
"When we finish our investigation into cause and turn our mind to consequence, these are serious matters and there are potentially very serious consequences."
But Ellis stressed the WorkSafeBC investigations are not linked to any possible criminal charges, and there are no criminal investigations underway.
It will now be up to Crown prosecutors to sort though thousands of photographs and hundreds of pages of information to determine if they will lay charges.
WorksafeBC can impose penalties on employers only, not individuals, but a referral to the Crown means the courts can impose higher fines and jail time on individuals if they are charged and convicted.
If the Crown does decide to lay charges, the sawmill companies and the individuals who run them could face fines of up to $600,000 and up to six months imprisonment under the Workers Compensation Act.
The B.C. Federation of Labour wants the Crown to look beyond WorksafeBC violations.
"If it was the case the company was negilgent, then there should be criminal charges and they should face jail time," said federation president Jim Sinclair.
Four killed and 42 injured
Two workers were killed and 20 more injured after an explosion and fire destroyed the Babine Forest Products mill in Burns Lake, B.C., in January.
Three months later, two people were killed and 22 workers injured after an explosion and fire at the Lakeland Mills sawmill in Prince George, B.C.
The two mills are owned and operated by separate companies, but wood dust levels were flagged at both sawmills as a possible fuel source.
A scientific analysis commissioned by WorksafeBC earlier this year concluded dust from pine beetle-killed wood could have contributed to the fatal explosions at both mills.
In April, WorkSafeBC released inspection reports for the Lakeland Mills sawmill, dating back to 2007, which show inspectors had repeatedly flagged dust levels at the mill as a concern.
Hampton Affiliates, the company that owns and runs the mill in Burns Lake, has said it intends to rebuild – provided certain conditions are met.
[IMAGEGALLERY galleryid=1750 size=small]
Those conditions include adequate timber supply, and if the company is able to work out agreements with the community of Burns Lake and area First Nations. The company has said it will make the final decision on whether to rebuild in December.

Herman Miller's new film series titled Why Design launched September 10th, featuring notable designers, including Yves Béhar, Don Chadwick, Ayse Birsel, Irving Harper, Gianfranco Zaccai, Studio 7.5, Steve Frykholm, and Sam Hecht and Kim Colin.
Accompanying each video is a series of candid photographs from the designers' daily lives, offering a glimpse into their world and thought processes, including a profile of their design work for Herman Miller and beyond.
In the words of the company:
"At Herman Miller design is the language we use to ask questions and seek answers to the problems our customers face. The design process is a journey into the unknown—or as George Nelson once quipped, 'I have never met a designer who was retained to keep things the same as they were.' Before we decide what we do and how we do it, we like to begin by asking the question 'Why?' In Why Design, a new film series, we explore the world through the eyes of our designers, and share something of why we value their point of view."

I had dreamed up this idea for a long time now and told Kayla about it. She was totally willing to model for me. We had so much fun. We also found many treasures in the creek including an ornament named Harold and a dust buster.
MudLOVE is pretty awesome. I love the custom one in honor of Kayla's grandma.
Unintentional silhouettes. I love the way they turned out though.
My personal favorite!
A little overexposed but her expressions are awesome.
I couldn't decide between the black and white and the color.
I think she was secretly pretending to be a mermaid.
We took multiple pit stops so I could rescue my flip flops that got stuck and Kayla could empty her boots of water
I love that she was so willing to lay in the water for me!
Kuddos to Kayla for letting me try my crazy ideas on her!!

John McCain has received plaudits from conservatives for his forthright answer to pastor Rick Warren's question about human life at last Saturday's forum at Saddleback Church. When asked at what point a human being acquires rights, McCain said without hesitation, "At conception." Barack Obama half-dodged the same question, arguing that such an answer was "above my pay grade," suggesting that politicians should leave philosophy to the philosophers but also abdicating his responsibility to think through difficult issues. The early, and nearly unanimous, verdict has been that McCain's answer not only helped re-assure a part of his base, but his "straight talk" contrasted favorably with Obama's artful dodger routine.
But, not so fast. John McCain supports embryonic stem cell research. So, if he truly believes that human beings acquire rights at conception, he is evidently willing to overlook the rights of some unborn children on behalf of research to assist other already born adults. And, let us be clear here. The right he is overlooking is the right to life which he purports to be championing.
Obama's answer was equally, if differently, confused. The fact that there is a difference between the presidential chair and a faculty chair (to say nothing of the chair of Peter!) does not absolve any citizen from wrestling with such a fundamental question. For Obama, who was a constitutional law professor, the correct answer to Warren's question might have been: "Rick, the Constitution is clear that citizens, whose rights are at issue here, are born citizens or naturalized citizens." This would not get to the deeper issue, and one that certainly a sympathetic Democrat should understand, that constitutional rights are particular instances of human rights, and not only for Guantanamo detainees but for America's unborn children as well. But, it would have been a better dodge.
Warren did not follow up on this, or other, questions in his friendly interviews. But, before we in the media reward the laurels of victory to John McCain, he should be pressed to explain the manifest absurdity of what he said. Just because he said it quickly does not mean he was talking straight. Obama was not the only artful dodger last week.

This is an original dish the Captain dreamed up. We often eat salsa cruda, but usually we use it as a topping for Mexican food or as a dip with tortilla chips. It's easy peasy to make:
3 large plum tomatoes
1 white or yellow onion of average size
1 jalapeno or tabasco pepper or part of a habenero, cayenne or scotch bonnet pepper – use only as much pepper as you like. Peppers vary from one to the next; one jalapeno might take the roof off your mouth and the next one might be mild. Follow your own preferences in the matter of peppers.
a large bunch of cilantro
2 swordfish steaks, at least 1″ thick, fresh if you can get it, otherwise frozen and thawed
2 Tbl mayonnaise mixed with 1 tsp lemon juice
For the salsa: Slice and cube the plum tomatoes, skin on. Chop the onion into medium bits. Chop the hot peppers very fine and wash your hands immediately. Chop up the cilantro. Mix everything up together and add salt to taste. It doesn't hurt if the Salsa sits for a while so the flavors can meld a bit.
About 20 minutes before eating pre-heat the oven to 400 F (or get the bbq grill going and hot).
Slather the mayonnaise on both sides of the swordfish steaks. If cooking in the oven, preheat your baking pan first, then drop the fish on and cook without turning. If grilling, put the fish on the grill and turn once after half the cooking time. A good rule of thumb for cooking fish is 10 minutes to the inch, so if your fish is 1″ thick, plan to cook it for a total of 10 minutes.
Put the cooked fish on the serving plate and heap the salsa cruda on top.

David Prince sets world record Saturday in San Antonio, Texas
David Prince ran to a world record Saturday at the 2013 U.S. Paralympics National Championships in San Antonio, Texas.
SAN ANTONIO, Texas - David Prince's performance was worth the wait. On Saturday morning at the 2013 U.S. Paralympics Track and Field National Championships on the campus of Trinity University in San Antonio, Texas, Prince (Sarasota, Fla.) set a world record in the men's 200 meter (T44) race more than 12 hours after the race, originally scheduled for Friday, was postponed due to severe weather.
"Lightning won't be able to catch me," Prince joked Friday when the meet was postponed.
Neither could his competitors.
Prince clocked a 22.47 to erase the 22.49 world record set by South Africa's Arnu Fourie at the London 2012 Paralympic Games in September. Jarryd Wallace (Athens, Ga.) ran a 23.02 for second place while Jerome Singleton (Irmo, S.C.), who was fifth in the 200m in London, finished third with a 23.33.
Prince has been training with coach Loren Seagrave in Bradenton, Fla., alongside two-time Beijing 2008 Olympic Games gold medalist LaShawn Merritt of the United States and London 2012 Olympic Games gold medalist Demetrius Pinder of the Bahamas.
"It has been fantastic," Prince said. "I've learned a lot about how to be patient, how to train correct so it's been great. Training with LaShawn Merritt, Demetrius Pinder and those guys has been really motivating. It has been really good to get out here and run."
Prince, who grew up in Oaxaca, Mexico, with missionary parents, had his leg amputated after a motorcycle accident. Yet, he has the same training regimen as able-bodied champions.
"There is absolutely no difference," Prince said of his training versus those of his Olympic training mates. "We do the same thing. We do the same warm-up, the same exercises. We have to modify some things just a little bit but really it is the exact same. Coaches are finding out that it is actually pretty easy because we all work really, really, really hard. We don't play."
Prince also holds the world record in the 400m.
Richard Browne (Jackson, Miss.), who has a knee injury and has been off crutches for only two weeks, withdrew from the 200m to focus on the 100m race that will be contested Saturday evening. Running in an unsanctioned competition, Browne tied the 10.85 world record in the 100m on June 8.
Blake Leeper (Kingsport, Tenn.) won the men's 200m (T43) with a 23.09. At the 2012 Paralympic Games, Leeper won a bronze medal in the 200m.
Other highlights of the morning session include sisters Tatyana McFadden (Clarksville, Md.), three-time gold medalist at the London 2012 Paralympic Games, and Hannah McFadden (Clarksville, Md.) finishing 1-2 in both the women's 200m and 800m (T54) races. Three-time London medalist Shirley Reilly (Tucson, Ariz.) topped Chelsea McClammer (Benton City, Wash.), 2:01.20 to 2:01.50, to win the women's 800m (T53).
Austin Pruitt (Green Acres, Wash.) upset 2012 Paralympic Games gold medalist Raymond Martin (Jersey City, N.J.) to win the men's 800m (T34/51/52), 1:59.67 to 2:03.80. Martin, who won the 100m, 200m, 400m and 800m (T52) races in London, rebounded to beat Pruitt in the men's 200m.
World record holder Jeremy Campbell (Perryton, Texas) won the men's discus (F44) with a throw of 61.46 meters, almost 15 meters further than the 46.80 thrown by Brazilian Marco Lima Borges, who finished second. Campbell's world record is 63.46.
Action continues at 6 p.m. local time Saturday. The 2013 U.S. Paralympics Track and Field National Championships, the U.S. qualification opportunity for the 2013 International Paralympic Committee Athletics World Championships in Lyon, France, concludes June 16.
The U.S. roster for the world meet will be announced by June 18.

West Philadelphia, born and raised, on the playground is where I spent most of my days. Chillin' out, maxin', relaxin' all cool, and all shootin' some b-ball outside of the school. When a couple of guys, who were up to no good, started makin' trouble in my neighborhood. I got in one little fight and my mom got scared and said, "You're movin' with your auntie and uncle in Bel-Air."
just hmu on twitter for now.
What's this site for, anyways?
Honestly, I'm not really sure. I've found that I really enjoy web design, so this will probably turn into a bit of everything as time allows. A place to watch videos and livestreams? A blog? Merch? We'll see.
When's the next _______?
I don't know. I promise I'm not holding out on you.
How long does it take to make a video?
I don't time myself because I'm not a maniac. A lot of willpower, though.
What do you use to edit?
The Adobe application suite, but I'm sure whatever you're using is fine.
What font do you use?
Currently a mix of Vollkorn (Google font) and Renner. I used to use Moon flower / Amatic SC.
Will you do editing tutorials?
Probably not. Everything I know about editing is already on the internet.
No, seriously, I want to edit like you.
Not really a question but... You just need to go and try. Practicing is the only way you'll get good at anything. Start off with a realistic goal in mind, and keep refining until you get something unique. Try to copy effects you like to see how they work then use the skills you learn to make something else. It took me 6 years to figure out how to make a good Minecraft let's play. Just stick with it.

Student Focus – @KaisaFit
In this feature, I like to run an article on the students from our business who are now doing exceptionally well in the industry. Our trainer's success if defined by them so could be a superstar level, or it may be a local goal that they met.
Kaisa is a FASTER student who completed my one to one mentorship, and also our FTE and Course Directors courses. I feel very fortunate that we became part of Kaisa's story, her growth in the years I have known her has been immense.
In 2012 to 2014 Kaisa and I worked together to help her learn the FASTER principles and concepts of fitness. It was a tough time to learn as we transitioned to a science backed education company, from a more guru first system of training.
Watching Kaisa learn and apply the FASTER principles and then go ahead and learn more (including her MSc) was an incredible journey to observe. However one of the big turning points was an opportunity that worked for both Kaisa and me.
As part of a project, I needed to produce 1200 exercises in three weeks. That included creating, filming, editing, uploading and categorising these movements so that they could be used as part of an exercise library.
Kaisa kindly agreed to come and shoot these exercises. During this time, she mentioned to me that she would love to do this full-time for a living. If you are lucky enough to know Kaisa, then you will be aware that this meant she would find a way of doing this and making it successful.
After filming 400 exercises in one weekend and performing them with movements that match the level of athlete that she is, the spark was lit. Within a year, Kaisa had built, in partnership with another trainer, an Instagram account that attracted the attention of Michelle Obama!
After inspiring thousands through her first Instagram account, the Kaisa has gone and done it again with a fantastic new page. In this page, Kaisa goes it alone and produces exercise routines and workouts that inspire people to move. You can now even buy her workouts to do at home.
Make sure you go to Kaisa's page and follow to see some exercises from a great friend and a top trainer!

The Sony Xperia Z might be a few months old now, but it's about to officially arrive in the great white north as an exclusive on Bell Mobility. The Canadian carrier will begin selling the Xperia Z later this month (July 2013) in white, black, and purple.
This is going to be the proper Xperia Z, not that watered down, non-water-resistant Xperia ZL. In case you need a refresher on the Z's specs, here they are:
- 5" 1080 x 1920p full HD Reality Display with Mobile BRAVIA Engine 2
- 13MP Fast Capture camera with Exmor RS sensor
- Water and dust resistant (IP55 & IP57) with a durable glass display
- 1.5 GHz quad-core Snapdragon S4 processor
The Xperia Z is no slouch, but it's starting to look a bit dated next to the HTC One and Galaxy S4.Read More

My week in Athens is almost over, and I'll be sorry to leave the amazing people I've met here, who have made me feel so welcome. I'm off to finish my MA and collaborate at distance, but I'll be back at NBS as soon as I possibly can. So much has happened this week. I'll try to put it in some comprehensible order…
The scale of the refugee crisis is truly immense. It's estimated that there are 60,000 displaced people in Greece, most of whom are in the Athens area. I only started to get a real idea of what that means when I visited a camp. One camp alone houses 1,500 people.
There is an incredible community of volunteers here, some of these are refugees themselves. Everyone uses whatever skill-set they have to contribute. They live very simply, give as much of their time as they can, and are constantly working together to get stuff done. I've seen people responding to calls at midnight to go to pick someone up or do some other job. They achieve so much: for example Khora community centre feeds 1,000 people a day. These people are practically moving mountains.
One of the problems volunteers have is that if they're non-EU citizens (as, actually, I will be in the not-so-far-off future thanks to Brexit) they can only stay here for three months after which they have to return to their own country for a certain period before they can come back. I met one teacher who is from the US and has to fly back there (obviously at her own expense) every time her visa runs out, after which she comes right back. As I said, the level of commitment and humanity I've seen here is simply mind blowing.
The students
The motivation level of the students is generally high. English is the lingua franca in the camps and outside in Athens. There's a mix of L1s, mostly Arabic, Farsi and Kurdish speakers, so English is used as a lingua franca between the residents too. English is absolutely essential for them to be able to do anything, which makes them want to learn.
That said, students can get depressed, which can stop them from coming to class. Some people are trapped in their housing as going out would mean running the risk of getting stopped by police, (which because of racial profiling they often are) and being deported back to their country. Thankfully, if they are able to explain themselves in English the police tend to be more lenient.
Many students are multilingual. I met one man from Afghanistan who could speak six languages and subsequently teased me mercilessly about my paltry knowledge of only two! And yesterday an Afghani 8 year-old taught me how to write my name in Greek (see pic).
What's needed…
What they need most is long term teaching volunteers. A lack of continuity is a clearly a big problem for both the school and the students. It makes assessment of learning progression very difficult. And, as displaced and often vulnerable people, the students need to feel secure and form a trusting relationship with their teacher, which is impossible if someone new is arriving every two weeks.
Most of the teachers that come have had little or no teaching experience and have no teaching qualifications, but lots and lots of generosity and enthusiasm. They need and want support and training. No Border School offers teachers' workshops open to all teachers in the Athens area. I was fortunate enough to run a couple of these this week on using technology in the classroom. The students here usually have mobile phones and most buildings (apart from the camps) have WiFi, so using apps and Google searches can be a good way to personalise lessons and can make up for a lack of materials. The teachers were very enthusiastic and they've asked me to do more sessions.
But my lack of experience in this context means that I'm not able to help them with everything. What they need most of all is ideas on how to teach adult literacy. They find that it's difficult to keep students engaged while they're learning to write in our alphabet, as adults aren't exactly enthusiastic about copying text from the board. They find that the materials available are either aimed at children, or at people who aren't literate in their own language, which is rarely the case here. I'm afraid I came up blank when they asked me about these issues.
If you can help with any of these things please do get in contact. Thanks for reading. Please share.

Advancements are a type of irrevocable transfer, usually from a parent to their child. In a trusts and wills setting, an advancement involves the transfer of some or all of the parent's estate, which the child would have collected upon the parent's death. In other words, it is a transfer of the parent's assets that occurs during their lifetime in "advance", rather than at the time of their death.
Advancements are not considered loans or debts, since the transfer is made with the recipient being asked for any compensation in return. However, an advancement is also different from a gift, since the recipient may be required to account for the advancement before they can claim the remainder of the testator's estate.
What are Some Legal Effects of Advancements?
Basically, in an advancement, the transfer is coming out of the testator's estate, so it reduces the amount that the beneficiary can claim later on.
For example, suppose that the testator transferred $20,000 to Child A. If the transfer is considered an advancement, then Child A would have $20,000 deducted from their share of the estate in the future when it is distributed at the testator's death. However, if it is not considered and advancement, they will probably not receive any such deductions at the time the will is executed.
Does the Testator Need to State Whether a Transfer is an Advancement?
This will depend on the jurisdiction. In most cases, the testator must indicate whether a transfer is to be classified as an advancement, to be deducted from their estate. In other jurisdictions, any transfers prior to death can be considered an advancement. Also, in some states, an advancement may include transactions from a person other than the parent or child.
Finally, some jurisdictions automatically presume that a transfer just prior to death is an advancement, whereas a transfer that is made earlier on the testator's lifetime wont' be considered an advancement.
To avoid confusion, it's always best for the testator to clearly indicate whether or not they intend for a transfer to be treated as an advancement or not. This can be done by putting a statement in writing, preferably in a contract or other document to record the transaction. Unclear instructions for transfers can lead to will contests or other legal problems in the future.
Do I Need a Lawyer for Assistance With an Advancement?
Advancements can sometimes be a very complicated and technical sub-area of trusts/wills/estates law. If you or a loved one has any questions or inquiries regarding the creation of an advancement, you may wish to speak with a qualified estate lawyer immediately. Your lawyer near you can help explain how the laws in your area work, and will be able to help you with any forms or documents for the transfer. Also, in the event of a will contest or legal dispute, your lawyer can help represent you during court if a lawsuit arises.

|Fulton Health Service Advise Residents to Take Precautions in Cold Weather
|| Print |
Fulton County Health Services understand that while the snow is beautiful, it can be dangerous. Many people might choose to spend time outdoors in the winter working, traveling, or playing in the snow. Outdoor activities can cause exposure to several safety hazards.
"We know the snow can be inviting to build a snowman or require shoveling," states Dr. Matthew McKenna, Medical Director of Fulton County Health Services. "We need everyone to remember that exposure to cold temperatures, whether indoors or outside, can cause other serious or life-threatening health problems."
Infants and the elderly are particularly at risk for cold weather exposure, but anyone can be affected. Fulton County Health Service advises residents to take the following precautions provided by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention:
Dress Warmly and Stay Dry
Wear appropriate outdoor clothing: layers of light, warm clothing; mittens; hats; scarves; and waterproof boots.
Adults and children should wear:
· a hat
· a scarf or knit mask to cover face and mouth
· sleeves that are snug at the wrist
· mittens (they are warmer than gloves)
· water-resistant coat and boots
· several layers of loose-fitting clothing
Be sure the outer layer of clothing is tightly woven, preferably wind resistant, to reduce body-heat loss caused by wind. Wool, silk, or polypropylene inner layers of clothing will hold more body heat than cotton. Stay dry—wet clothing chills the body rapidly. Excess perspiration will increase heat loss, so remove extra layers of clothing whenever you feel too warm. Do not ignore shivering. It's an important first sign that the body is losing heat. Persistent shivering is a signal to return indoors.
Avoid Frostbite and Hypothermia
When exposed to cold temperatures, our body begins to lose heat faster than it can be produced. Prolonged exposure to cold will eventually use up your body's stored energy. The result is hypothermia, or abnormally low body temperature. Body temperature that is too low affects the brain, making the victim unable to think clearly or move well. This makes hypothermia particularly dangerous because a person may not know it is happening and won't be able to do anything about it.
Hypothermia is most likely at very cold temperatures, but it can occur even at cool temperatures (above 40°F) if a person becomes chilled from rain, sweat, or submersion in cold water.
Frostbite is an injury to the body that is caused by freezing. Frostbite causes a loss of feeling and color in affected areas. It most often affects the nose, ears, cheeks, chin, fingers, or toes. Frostbite can permanently damage the body, and severe cases can lead to amputation. The risk of frostbite is increased in people with reduced blood circulation and among people who are not dressed properly for extremely cold temperatures
Avoid Exertion
Cold weather puts an extra strain on the heart. If you have heart disease or high blood pressure, follow your doctor's advice about shoveling snow or performing other hard work in the cold. Otherwise, if you have to do heavy outdoor work, dress warmly and work slowly. Remember, the body is already working hard just to stay warm, so don't overdo it.
Above all, check on family and neighbors who are especially at risk from cold weather hazards: young children, older adults, and the chronically ill. If you have pets, bring them inside.

Over years, information keeps changing and current personal experiences are the best source of updated information. Smruti has gone through the F1 visa process in the recent years and below is her experience. Thanks to her for taking time to write and share her experience with our readers. It is very well written and captures all aspects of the process. You can share your experiences as well here
Going through pages and pages of online material, trying to find the most reliable and encompassing information and guidance on student visa to the US – it is a journey as testing as the long haul to the promised country. Most of the information is dated, some advice scare you so much without being helpful and some are very didactic without being useful. Here's something that might help, based on the reliability of personal experience.
Getting your F1 Student visa
- Obtain your I-20 from the University. I-20 is a document that is sent with a number along with details about the University and your program. Even if you do not have the I-20 but have a confirmed admission, you can request them to send the SEVIS Id so you can do the slot booking at the US Consulate right away.
- Pay the HDFC visa fees at any of the designated HDFC branches and obtain the receipt.
- Pay your SEVIS fee ($200). This can be done online through a credit card on their website. You can take a printout of the payment verification or also wait for them to send the official confirmation through post which will take a few weeks time. (www.fmjfee.com/)
- Book your slot in the Consulate. Through personal experience, I prefer the Chennai Consulate but of course it depends on the availability and your convenience. Book a date well in advance to be on the safer side. You can at the most reach US 30 days before your course begins (as stated on your I20) but you can attend the interview any time from 120 days before your course starts.
- Prepare for the interview on the basis of these questions –
- University details, your interest in the course and University, future goals, assurance that you will return to India.
- Financial details – how will your education be sponsored. Get all the documents that you can, there is no definite list. Bank account statements, sponsorship letters, assistantship letter, loan papers, property documents, FDs, CA's asset evaluation – basically all that will be useful in satisfying the interviewer that you have enough funds for the study – mostly liquid and non-liquid.
- Remember the more genuine you sound, are clear about what you want to do an d say it with confidence, easier it is for the interviewer to judge and be convinced.
- Prepare for the interview on the basis of these questions –
- Reach the consulate in advance. Don't get scared by the lines or by the nervousness of people around you. Take the positive vibes from people who come out smiling victoriously!
Steps after getting F1 Visa – What you need to do ?
- Finances : Get your financials in place. Decide how you will carry money – DD, travelers cheques, currency, card. You can take a credit card or you also get pre-loaded international cards from all the major banks in India. You have to give them a cheque or cash and they will immediately give you the card if you have an account in their bank. Remember this cannot be used for online transactions but at POS and for withdrawals at ATMs. For currency, according to regulations you cannot convert more than Rs. 50000 in a month's time but can carry up to a maximum of $10000. So plan it in advance or use the services of multiple agents.
- Temporary Stay – You can book accommodation at the campus through the University correspondents or get temporary accommodation in the city and look for places and roommates once you reach there. The latter is a better idea although there is uncertainty when you are leaving from the country about where and with whom you will stay. Campus accommodations are more expensive, have too many hindering rules and mostly will not let you stay on during vacations.
- What to Carry – Some things you need to remember. To get travel chargers since the plug-ins in the US are different than in India. You can get these at the airport or at most electrical shops. Clothes befitting the climate of where you will be going including essentials like shoes, gloves, mufflers etc. Comforters, bed spreads, pillow, utensils, food, transcripts, photocopies, etc. Do not carry pirated stuff. Check List of things to carry to USA
Arriving in the America as F1 student :
- Booking tickets : Ensure that there is sufficient time gap between connecting flights. By sufficient I mean at least four hours. This is from experience. Also, check the finer details before you book. Once I booked a flight via New York that had a 3 hour gap between flights in which I had to get down from plane, go through immigration, get my baggage, have it scrutinized if asked, re-check them in, take a cab from JFK to LaGaurdia airport and board another flight. I had missed seeing the 'Change of Airport required' while checking the itinerary! Another time there was a technical snag that was discovered just before take-off and we were stranded for more than an hour before it finally took-off, which cut the time gap between flights.
- Immigration – Port of Entry – Remember the immigration happens at the port of entry i.e. the first city that you land in US. There are usually long lines and depending on the airport and time there could be long waiting time. Have your passport, I20, SEVIS fee receipt ready along with the declaration form. On the back of the declaration form write your SEVIS id, University name and number.
- Proceed to obtain your check in luggage. The authorities might want to scrutinize your bags. If not, you can just re-check your luggage in.
- If you are proceeding to another location you will have to go through security check again.
After landing in US as International Student
Visit your University, talk to someone from the International Students office, meet advisers and professors and other students. If you have a job, then obtain a SSN (Social Security Number). Remember, without a SSN it is extremely difficult to manage in this country. Lease, phone connection, utilities, credit card – everything is available only if you have a SSN. Do not expect others, including family and friends to let you use their SSN. Your credit history is evaluated through your SSN. Preferably get a matrix connection from India. To stay connected with people in India use cheaper methods like Vonage, free voice and text apps, Gtalk, web chat, etc.
Enjoy your student life and be geared up for fun and some hard work!
What has been your experience ?

Tucked beside the Georgia Viaduct overpass on the fringe of Vancouver's Chinatown is a red-brick shack that would be easy to miss were it not for the psychedelic sign above the door that reads "Jimi Hendrix Shrine."
According to local lore, the shrine was once the kitchen of Vie's Chicken and Steak House, where Hendrix's grandmother worked, and where the guitarist spent some of his childhood summers. It's also one of the few remaining buildings that were once part of Hogan's Alley, Vancouver's first and only predominantly black neighbourhood. The district's few blocks were razed in the early 1970s to make way for the viaduct.
The alley was known for gambling, brothels and bootlegger bars. It was also a place where black musicians such as Louis Armstrong went when they were in town, to play music and eat at one of the alley's famous chicken shacks.
But Hogan's Alley began to change in the 1960s as plans emerged for an urban freeway that would cut through the area. "It became a different neighbourhood, a rundown neighbourhood," says Randy Clark, whose family's home was expropriated to make way for the development.
The viaduct was the first phase of the freeway, which was meant to extend through East Vancouver, but community protests halted the project before it got past Hogan's Alley. Condominiums have since sprung up in place of the few row houses that survived.
The city lost a unique melting pot, says Clark. "Italians grew up with Japanese who grew up with blacks, and everybody seemed to get along. Some of that changed with the freeway."
A plaque now commemorates Hogan's Alley, and city council is moving ahead with plans to tear down the viaduct, which doesn't operate to capacity, is expensive to maintain and acts as a barrier between neighbourhoods.
For Wayde Compton, co-founder of the Hogan's Alley Memorial Project, removing the viaduct won't bring back the former community — nor should it. "It's a different neighbourhood today," he says, "and it belongs to the people who live there now."

Before You Buy the House: Look at the Electrical Panel
When you're looking at a home you're thinking about buying, you have a lot to consider: The home's location, its size and layout, and its price are all important factors. Most of these things are easy to notice when you're looking at a home with your real estate agent, but others may take a little closer look.
One of these factors is the home's wiring. Is it relatively new, or does it possibly need to be replaced soon? What are some signs to look for? Watch the video below for more information:
To learn more about what to look at when you're considering a home, visit Smart Tips for Savvy House-Hunting.

The recent decision by the DPP goes a long way to restoring the confidence of the victims of sexual crimes in the criminal justice system
Last month Justice Desmond Hogan handed down a 6 year sentence to Anthony Lyons when he was found guilty of a serious sexual assault on a woman on Griffith Avenue. The judge went on to suspend 5½ years of this sentence and ordered the accused to pay the victim €75,00.00 in compensation.
Ellen O'Malley-Dunlop Chief Executive of DRCC said: "This very unusual sentence caused enormous hurt and upset among the many victims of sexual crimes and brought into question whether or not those victims who were pursuing alleged perpetrators in the criminal justice system would get justice at the end of the harrowing court process.
It is extremely important that the victims of rape and sexual assault are encouraged to stay the course of the criminal justice system and are confident that justice will be done at the end of the day. It is extremely important that the perpetrators and potential perpetrators of these heinous crimes will get the very strong message that they will not get away with these crimes and will be punished appropriately and fairly when found guilty in court. Justice Hogan's decision to suspend 5½ years of the 6 year sentence had the effect of questioning the consistency and fairness of sentencing in our criminal justice system.
The decision by the DPP to appeal the six months served time to the court of criminal appeal on the grounds of it being unduly lenient, goes a long way to redressing the upheaval and questioning that was caused by Justice Hogan's decision to suspend 5½ years of the 6 year sentence. The DRCC welcomes the DPP's decision and hopes that anyone who may have thought of dropping out of the criminal justice system as a result of Justice Hogan's decision will be reassured by the DPP's decision and will stay the course and get justice for themselves."
