Don't Miss This Awesome Food And Furniture Market

APS Lifestyle and DREAM teams for up an epic market hop

Two is better than one, indeed. High-end kitchen appliances brand APS Lifestyle and luxury furniture retailer DREAM will be joining forces to host a fun-filled lifestyle extravaganza this weekend.

Named The Market Hop, the ambitious event will take place at two locations – APS Lifestyle at 9 Muthuraman Chetty Road (near Mohamed Sultan) and DREAM at 456 River Valley Road (near Great World City), with shuttle services providing transport to and from each market. Or if you fancy taking the wheel, test-drive the new MINI Clubman or MINI Countryman at the event!

Visitors are encouraged to check out both markets to enjoy the complete retail experience curated by over 50 F&B and lifestyle vendors (the vendors are randomly assigned to each market – so even we have no idea where each vendor is located!). Here is a sneak peek of what to expect:

Luxury Furniture At A Steal

DREAM will be unveiling its new concept, Garage by Dream, at its showroom during the event. Look out for affordable designer pieces from past seasons and rare one-offs from brands like Cassina, Cappellini, Sancal, Matthew Hilton and more.

Live Applicances Feature

Looking for a new toy for the kitchen? Check out the latest appliances from Smeg, Whirlpool, Küche, Vintec and Transtherm at the F&B booths situated at the APS market.

Food, Glorious Food!

Whether you’re craving for mains (choose from finger-licking ribs from Naughty Nuri’s, Korean-Mexican tacos from Vatos, barbecued meats from Red Eye Smokehouse and more) or fancy something sweet (think cakes from The Fabulous Baker Boy, ice cream from FATCAT and more), there will be no hungry moments at The Market Hop with its exciting line-up of F&B vendors at both locations.

For drinks, take your pick from wines (Nuevo Vino), brews (The Great Beer Experiment), liquors (Booze Pharma-C), Thai iced teas (Soi 55) and of course, coffee (Coffee Bandits) and tea (Ninety Tea).

EL Muhajer TV an Arabic TV Channel and Media

El Muhajer TV was launched on October 13, 2005 by the Moroccan journalist Mohamed Said Ouafi with three major goals in mind; to counter the official Arab states' media campaigns that are meant to mislead and misinform rather than educate and inform the public; to provide Moroccans and Arab communities in general and those living in the West in particular with the right information to help them make decisions that affect their lives and future; and to initiate a dialogue with Arab intellectual residing in the United States and Europe to identify and explain political and cultural and economic challenges facing Arab nations and Arab communities everywhere. It is our hope and mission to help our fast growing audience to understand issues of concern and become more aware of their rights and responsibilities, not only as Arab citizens but also as citizens of a culturally and economically globalized world, where all problems, aspirations and ideas travel with the speed of the Internet to affect all peoples and all aspects of life.

El Salvador sending troops to Afghanistan

El Faro reported yesterday that president Mauricio Funes is planning to send a contingent of 22 Salvadoran troops to Afghanistan. The troops will support the international troops in that country in a non-combat role according to the report. Between 2003 and 2009, El Salvador had troops in Iraq, and for most of that time was the only country in Latin America to do so. Funes had campaigned against having troops in Iraq when he ran for president.

Repeat after me: No soy Tony Saca. No soy Tony Saca.
Xiao said…
Why do you think the president sends troops if he was against it? Has he changed his mind? Or he is pressured by other politicians?
Kelsey said…
So they can't control the escalating violence in their own country, but they are going to try and help it in someone else's?!
ixa said…
No peeps, its to keep TPS running, just like battallon cuscatlan kept it running in Iraq. you scrath my back I'll scratch yours. Google/images Samuel Toloza and you will see why USA needs to respect Latinos and immigration FROM THE GET GO.
Tipo said…
Essentially any request by the U.S. for support from El Salvador is granted, like someone mentioned "TPS". Also I'm sure the U.S. sends aid to El Salvador. The president Of El Salvador Feels obliged to comply.

Elvis House Causes Conflict

What started out as a simple eBay bid for a Memphis house once owned by Elvis Presley has turned into a fight for possession of the King's former home. The Nashville Tennessean reports that after psychic Uri Geller and his partners placed the winning bid of $905,100 for the home on eBay, they found it had been sold to the American music promoter Mike Curb for $1 million. Uri Geller already told news papers that he will sue Mike and Cindy Freeman-Hazen, but he may loose that battle as eBay indicated that a purchase of a house via internet is “not a legal binding contract”. Claiming the rejection of their bid was unfair, one of Geller's partners, Peter Gleason, responded by initiating an inquest into a recent bankruptcy case of the home's owners, Cindy Hazen and Mike Freeman. The recently divorced couple had cleared up $43,000 in debt through the case, in which they claimed the value of the home to be only $236,000, the Tennessean reports. A bankruptcy trustee then opened the case to determine whether profits from the sale of the home should be seized to pay the couple's creditors, a move that could bring the court to reverse all the sellers' actions. "I think it says a lot about Uri Geller and Peter Gleason that they want to dwell on the pain we've been through in the past year," Hazen told the Tennessean.

According to the Commercial Appeal:

The boxing gloves are off in the battle for the home where Elvis Presley lived when he first became a rock icon.

Next stop? Federal bankruptcy court.

The home at 1034 Audubon appeared to have been sold at auction on eBay for $905,100 last month to Israeli-born celebrity psychic Uri Geller and two partners. But, when they were unable to work out contract terms with Memphis owners Cindy Hazen and Mike Freeman, the house was sold for $1 million to Nashville record producer Mike Curb.

Geller and one partner, New York attorney Peter Gleason, cried foul, claiming their high bid was unfairly rejected only because a higher offer came along. Hazen said the bid was discarded after Gleason made contractual changes in the closing papers, then could not be reached for two weeks while they tried to close the sale. "At the end of two weeks we did not have an agreement. It made me question their commitment or ability to follow through with the sale. This is not a decision we made lightly," says Hazen.

When the sale to Curb closed Friday, Gleason responded by reopening an old wound for Hazen and Freeman. He hired a Memphis attorney to see that a closed bankruptcy case involving Hazen and Freeman would be reopened. The couple, who recently divorced, had filed for bankruptcy in September 2005, and the case was discharged in February 2006, excusing them of about $43,000 in debt. In the petition, they listed the value of their home at its appraised value of about $236,000.

The bankruptcy trustee, Barbara R. Loevy, filed a motion this week to reopen the case. In it, she said, "The debtors had the unique knowledge of the true nature and value of the property and withheld this information from the Trustee."

Geller and Gleason's Memphis attorney, Douglas Alrutz, said Gleason's role in stirring the legal pot was not an act of vengeance. "It's doing the right thing for their (Hazen's and Freeman's) creditors," Alrutz said.

Hazen, however, said, "I think it says a lot about Uri Geller and Peter Gleason that they want to dwell on the pain we've been through in the past year."

She said she made no effort in bankruptcy court to conceal or downplay the potential value of the Audubon property. "There were eight owners between Elvis and us, and the house had never before sold for more than market value. There was no way for us to know what somebody would bid."

Her attorney, Bruce Ralston, said, "Nobody in the world could have predicted this," meaning a heated bidding battle on eBay and a final sale price of $1 million.

The bankruptcy case now is set for a hearing at 9:30 a.m. June 26 to determine whether the case should be reopened and assets from the sale of the home attached to pay off creditors previously denied assets.

Meanwhile, Geller and Gleason have vowed to legally overturn the rejection of their bid and sale of the house to Curb. "If I have to, I will take this to the Supreme Court; If I have to I'll take this to the Pope," Geller said Monday.

Let's be fair now. Everyone wants to get the best possible price for their house!

Keep On Dreaming Lyrics

[Verse 1:]
Look outside your window
Tell me what you see
Past all the flowers
Beyond the trees
Is it what you wanted?
Your life to be
Or is it what you
Settle for
Is it 'cause they laugh at you
And talk about you too
They talked about Jesus Christ
What makes you think they won't talk about you
No need to worry
You are a star
And you are perfect just the way you are

Keep on dreaming
Keep on shining
Keep on grinding
Don't stop trying
Keep on dreaming
Keep on flowing
Keep on growing
Don't stop hoping
Don't stop hoping

[Verse 2:]
(Gwone) Walkin through the graveyard
Shovel in your hand
Rumors on the street are
You just buried a man
And he was really talented
He just didn't get a chance
And now his blood is
On your hand
Maybe you should dig him up
Maybe you should not
Maybe you should stop listening to your friends
And listen to your heart
It's nice to be famous
It's nice to be a star
But it's also nice to be just who you are

People say the craziest things
Craziest things
Twenty-five to life he done murdered his dreams
Murdered his dreams
Ummmhuh, ummmhuh, ummhuh

[Chorus x2]

Raa raa toys: Hufftys train review

Blake opening Raa Raa the noisy lion's Huffty's train toy set My little people are very lucky! We were recently sent a huffty's train to review from raa raa the noisy lion toy collection!

It features a smart spot system so the train can recognise which character is on board and interact with, or as, that friend!

Huffty's train comes with Huffty the elephant and two carriages.

Easy to push along and full of great sound effects - Blake (aged 2) loves the choo choo sounds!

Raa raa the noisy lion and friends riding Huffty's toy train set

"Raa Raa and his friends can enjoy a ride in the carriages. The innovative interactive ‘Smart Spot System’ will recognise all of Raa Raa's friends - so collect them all to activate over 15 sounds and phrases!"

Both Blake (almost three) and Maegan (almost 1) have enjoyed playing with this set and Blake has hinted at some more "friends" to ride on the train for his upcoming birthday!

clever carriage links mean the train stays together during play

Blake likes that the carriages easily click and stay together - he gets frustrated with other train toys which don't stay locked together during play.

Keep up to date with Raa Raa and the new toy collection on Facebook
- Stockists include ToysRUs, Smyths, and Amazon with a recommended price of £16.99

Maegan enjoyed the easy push along movement of Huffty's train-

Scottish farm pollution jumps in 2000

The number of agricultural pollution incidents in Scotland rose 30% between 1999 and 2000, the Scottish environmental protection agency (EPA) revealed yesterday. A senior official described the figures as "disappointing". The data show silage effluent and slurry continuing to pose major threats, accounting for 220 out of the 379 substantiated incidents in 2000. Pollution from sheep dipping also showed a big increase, with the EPA warning that "tens of kilometres of pristine watercourses being wiped out". See press release.

Difference between cladding and lining

Difference between cladding and lining

Dear All,

What is the difference between cladding and lining? Can these two terms be used interchangeably?

Appendix 3 of the Code (ASME VIII-1) defines a “clad vessel” and a “lined vessel”. To me, it appears that the differences between these two terms is based only on whether the corrosion resistant material is integral/continuous (in case a clad vessel) or whether it is intermittent (in case a lined vessel). Is my interpretation correct?

Your opinions on this subject will be highly appreciated.

RE: Difference between cladding and lining

The wording and referenced standards of part UCL will clarify the meanings.  In summary - clad is (100%) metallurgically bonded either during plate manufacture or by deposition of weld overlay; lined is simply 'stuck on' by attachment welds.

Steve Jones
Materials & Corrosion Engineer

RE: Difference between cladding and lining

Thanks for your reply. But now I have some other questions.

Based on your below reply, would it be ok to interpret that a lining is in a way a "mechanicaly inferior cladding" since it is attached by plug welds?

When is lining prefererred over cladding? What are the merits of lining over cladding?

Is cladding applicable for metals only and does lining include both metallic and non-metallic (example- plastic lined, FRP lined, etc) lining?

RE: Difference between cladding and lining

If you are intending to adopt UCL-23 (c), then yes, one would argue that lining is a mechanically inferior cladding.

The choice of whether to go for lining or cladding is a function of all the usual input parameters in materials selection: cost, availability, schedule, fitness for service etc etc.

As to the last question, you really should study the wording of UCL-1 and not get confused with painting and coating terminology that ASME VIII does not address.

Steve Jones
Materials & Corrosion Engineer

RE: Difference between cladding and lining

I would not say that lining, ie stip lining or sleeve lining is inferior to clad in all applications.  While clad is widely used in many applications, weld overlayed lining is preferred in reactors where higher temperatures and vacuumn may occur.  Strip lining can be used where there are not wide deviations in temperatures and external pressure is not a concern and in alloys where clad is not readily available and time and monetary constraints are important.  Recently the use of a solid alloy constuction for vessels that are relatively thin and austenetic stainless steel is much more economically feasible than a clad vessel of say 516-70 base with 304 or 316 ss cladding.

RE: Difference between cladding and lining

ASME VIII Div 1, Appendix 3, para 3-2 defines exactly what clad and lined means

However in my experience the two terms are sometimes interchanged and can cause some confusion as some people call clad, “lining” – which I suppose is correct too.

I define it as:
Clad steel is a base carbon steel material (which takes the pressure and loads) covered with a corrosion resistant alloy (CRA) material.
The CRA can be either integrally bonded (i.e. explosive or hot roll bonded to the base carbon steel material) or applied by weld overlay deposit.
Although UCL-23c allows you take account of the claddings strength, I have never done this and most clients don’t allow it either. The cladding is just assumed as a corrosion allowance and no credit is taken for its strength in the pressure calculations.

The CRA material can also be applied as strip lining or as loose sleeves in pipes. However there is still welding involved here back to the base CS material. Strip or sleeve lining is not used as stated above in high temperature services or where there is vacuum pressure. Additionally sleeve lining is used in situations where CRA material cannot be or is difficult to integrally bond to the base CS.

Lining are loose non metallic linings (e.g. rubber, PTFE) or painted / sprayed coatings or glass linings. The glass or painted / sprayed coatings may also need to be cured at temperature.

The loose non-metallic linings are bonded to the base CS

Loose and coated / sprayed and glass linings will required attention to vessel internal surfaces,  welds and nozzle corners which need to be of a smooth profile and radiused in accordance with the lining manufacturers or clients requirements,

Hope this helps

RE: Difference between cladding and lining

a star for you for clearly out"lining " the differces (!?!) between the two.

RE: Difference between cladding and lining

The difference has been rightly outlined by Roca.

I wish to share my experience with a cladded & lined vessel. If any one wishes to measure the thickness of shell using Ultrasonic method, on a cladded vessel & a lined vessel, the results would be as under:-

Cladded Vessel : Will get thickness of Shell + Clad
Lined Vessel   : Will get Thickness of outer shell only.

This may sound simple but sometimes the info may be very useful.

RE: Difference between cladding and lining

One reason why lining might be preferable is that the lead times for bare carbon steel and bare alloy are usually significantly less than the lead time for clad material.

Another reason is that cladding usually has to be stipped back prior to welding the carbon steel portion to ensure good weld quality. Lining is added afterward so this is not an issue.

Antarctic Warmed Its Way Out of The Last Ice Age

Since the dawn of time, Earth has constantly cycled through ice ages and warming periods due to its unsteady orbit about the sun. Previous studies believed the warming of the northern hemisphere was the sole trigger for the start of the deglaciation of the southern hemisphere during the last ice age about 18,000 years ago. Recent findings published in the Nature journal, however, show Antarctica started to warm 2,000 to 4,000 years before this.

Previous evidence about Antarctic climate change has come from ice cores drilled in East Antarctica, the highest and coldest part of the continent. However, a US-led research team studying a new ice core from West Antarctica found that warming there was well under way 20,000 years ago. The findings come from a detailed examination of an ice core taken from the West Antarctic Ice Sheet Divide, an area where there is little horizontal flow of ice.

The ice core is more than 2 miles deep and covers 68,000 years, though so far data have been analyzed only from layers going back 30,000 years. Near the surface, 1 meter of ice covers one year, but at greater depths the annual layers are compressed to centimeters.

T.J. Fudge, a University of Washington doctoral student in Earth and space sciences and lead corresponding author of the Nature paper, identified the annual layers by running two electrodes along the ice core to measure higher electrical conductivity associated with each summer season. Evidence of greater warming turned up in layers associated with 18,000 to 22,000 years ago, the beginning of the last deglaciation.

"Sometimes we think of Antarctica as this passive continent waiting for other things to act on it. But here it is showing changes before it 'knows' what the north is doing," said Fudge.

He noted that the warming in West Antarctica 20,000 years ago is not explained by a change in the sunâ€™s intensity. Instead, how the sunâ€™s energy was distributed over the region was a much bigger factor. It not only warmed the ice sheet but also warmed the Southern Ocean that surrounds Antarctica, particularly during summer months when more sea ice melting could take place.

Today, however, the Earthâ€™s orbit is not the most influential factor regarding climate change. Carbon dioxide emissions play one of the largest roles in todayâ€™s rapidly changing climate.

Modular behaviours: cube world&cubees

Play with one or stick two or more cubes together to build an interactive world(…) As you stack, they’ll interact and visit one another’s cubes.

(…) if you interconnect additional Cubees, the one on top of the singing pyramid will belt out the lead while the others “sing” back-up.

Even though the possibilities of interaction between electronic toys has been already explored for a while (like in the most recent versions of the Tamagotchi or the Digimon), it looks as though there’s a new generation of toys on the horizon which are characterized by their ability to interact with each other regardless of the active presence of the user.

These toys generally come shaped as cubes which provide special connectors on several of their sides. Each cube is entertaining by itself, but in order for the interactions to happen, the user should Continue reading Modular behaviours: cube world&cubees

Let´s make a mini-me! now, in 3-D

People Putty is a tool (and also, a toy!) that allows you to make your very own interactive 3-D character, then use it to play dress up or act as a tour guide for your own web page.

Sounds too good to be true, right? Well, in fact it´s true and, even more, it´s fairly easy to accomplish. Right after you start People Putty (try to read the funny descriptions while loading), you face… no, well, actually a 3D character faces you, a nice girl who quietly stares at you while behaving in a very realistic manner. (actually only the face is represented, though it is possible to get full bodied characters from the company) . This is already quite impressive, but it´s only the tip of the iceberg. The interface to the program is self explanatory, intuitive and very well documented, comprising all the stages which take part in the creation of a character in a single row, from top to bottom: skin, shapes, emotions, accesories and theatre.

In sanscrit, the term Avatar comes to mean “the terrestrial incarnation of a god”. In nerd, it is an image that you use to represent yourself in forums or while chatting, usually a picture of some person or character you feel attached to or a caricature of yourself.

Besides searching for a premade picture, you can make use of one of the many avilable automated generators, from which I chose the two examples above, to tailor one to your liking. The Gaia Dream Creator offers you full-body manga style characters with lots of accesories and a high cuteness factor; the Avatar Creator (which I found in numerous sites) is a flash application focused on face portraits. Both of them are very intuitive to use, and the Gaia Creator even outputs a rendered image that automatically gets hosted in ImageShack for you to use; as for the Avatar Creator, you´ll need to make a screen capture (printscreen button), then paste and cut the portrait with an appropriate program. Have fun!

Roasted Potatoes

3.5/4 fork user rating

make it again

Go to reviews

If you're making these potatoes to serve with the roast goose , the optimal time to begin boiling them is immediately after the oven temperature is reduced on the roasting bird. As soon as the goose is removed from the oven, increase the oven temperature and roast the potatoes while making the sauce for the goose. If you're not roasting a goose but would like to make the potatoes anyway, you can use store-bought duck fat instead of goose fat.

Makes 8 servings
Active Time
Total Time
1 1/4 hr

    • 4 lb small (1 1/2- to 2-inch) boiling potatoes such as white, Yukon Gold, or Red Bliss, peeled
    • 3/4 cup rendered goose fat, reserved from roast goose , or duck fat
    • 2 teaspoons salt
    • 3/4 teaspoon black pepper

    1. Preheat oven to 450°F.
    2. Cover potatoes with salted cold water by 1 inch in a 6-quart pot, then simmer, uncovered, until just tender, 12 to 20 minutes, depending on type of potato. Drain in a colander and pat dry.
    3. Toss potatoes with goose fat in a bowl. Spread potatoes in 1 layer in a large roasting pan and roast in middle of oven, turning once, until golden, about 30 minutes. Toss with salt and pepper.
Cooks' note:
· Potatoes may be boiled 1 day ahead, cooled, and then chilled, covered.

Really NOT worth the extra trouble. For Christmas dinner, I made these potatoes with duck fat, otherwise followed all the instructions, and got a disappointing result: boring, not particularly flavorful potatoes. Next night, to serve with leftover Christmas Roast, I peeled Russet potatoes, cut into 1 1/2 -2 inch cubes, threw in a roasting pan with extra virgin olive oil, thinly sliced red onion (leftover from salad makings), and a few whole peeled garlic cloves; sprinkled everything with rosemary (dry, cracked) and pepper, roasted in hot oven (425) for one hour: exceptional, and much better than the duck fat roasted red potatoes served on Christmas. NO leftovers from my old standby; Simple is sometimes best. Don't bother with the duck fat (no one in LA sells goose fat).

These potatoes are wonderful. Don't be afraid! Duck fat is closer in composition to olive oil than it is to butter, and so tasty! res=9D0CE7D81F3AF934A25752C1A967958260&page wanted=all

The thing about oil vs duck or goose fat IMHO is that you taste the potatoes more with oil. So if you have good potatoes, why cover their flavor? I leave peels on and like to use several colors for beautiful presentation.

These are so good and so easy. I also tossed green beans in some duck fat and roasted those as well (only 15-20 minutes). Great easy sides for a duck dinner.

Hey "Las Vegas," Thank goodness someone died and made YOU boss otherwise I would have used-- OMG-- Olive oil. The HORROR!! PS--Lard IS fat--hellooooo

Very good. I used coarse ground salt and asparagus and it was even better.

...or bacon fat!!!!!

I was lucky enough to find some goose fat at the local German grocer. This recipe is PERFECT. Makes the absolute best roast potatoes. Sometimes I replace some of the goose fat with olive oil and they are just about as good!

These potatoes were yummy. I made them with UNpeeled red potatoes. I didn't have goose fat just hanging around the kitchen. I used butter flavored Crisco. I added a bunch of different herbs to spice things up a bit and was very pleased with the results. I served these with the Chicken Marsalla recipe also on this site. That was REALLY good. You should check it out.

Fortunately I saved the rendered duck fat from making the Muscovy Duck Breasts with Pomegranate-Wine Sauce Bon Appetit December 04. These potatoes were heavenly. I used white fingerling potatoes (and no I didn't peel them). The next day my daughter was so sad to learn we had consumed each and every potato!!! Not a dish for year round, but when you want to splurge, this is the one.

Will I be stoned for leaving the peel on my little red potatoes? No duck fat handy so I used the bacon grease. Mighty fine potatoes! Will do these again.

Why get hung up on the type of lard or fat to use??? I used bacon fat and they came out PERFECT. The point is to use LARD or FAT, not oil. Lard and fat have much more flavor. Great easy recipe

I think the previous reviewers who replaced duck fat with olive oil have missed the point. Duck or goose fat is even richer in flavor (redolent of lavender and honey) than it is in cholesterol, and adds the most heavenly aroma and taste to anything cooked with it. I consider it the truffle of cooking oils and fats (it's what makes foie gras is such a delicacy!). It's not a luxury you can afford to indulge in every day (healthwise), but it is worth suspending your dietary restrictions momentarily to experience this most extraordinary gustatory delight. A little bit in moderation is a good thing. If you don't want to roast an entire goose, you can also use the fat rendered from sauteed duck breast for this recipe.

Simply a great side dish. I used olive oil instead of the goose fat, since I was cooking these with lamb.

after par- boiling pots. with lid on, shake pan so pots. are nice and fluffy, tnen put in to hot fat or oil, they come out slightly crispy on outside and soft inside.

This is a good recipe, but some tips - it is better to scratch the surface of the potato with a fork once in the pan, as this will help the crisping. It is also important to salt with good quality salt as well, such as Maldon. Personally I prefer olive oil,cracked black pepper and rosemary to be used, rather than the heavier goose oor duck fat (better for you as well).

You can use olive oil in place of the goose fat. Simply toss the peeled, boiled potatoes in a bowl with enough olive oil to coat them. They come out nicely browned, slightly crunchy on the outside and nicely cooked on the inside. They resemble big round french fries in taste and texture.

I made this recipe several times using tinned goose fat from France which I cart home from England each year...will have to start buying more fat because this is a keeper. Also added rosemary on one occasion (good). Find goose fat at Sainsburys Super Markets.

I made this dish on the same day I was making duck, and used the duck fat in the potatos. I've done lots of roasted potatos before -- but the duck fat really made these better than usual!

Very tasty and pretty salad. I used a mild goat cheese instead of the suggested cheese and sprinkled finely chopped chives with the flowers on top. No need to marinate the squash. Zucchini haters loved it. Will be a summer staple at our house.

This is a keeper. Easy, quick, filling, and tasty. I don't find need to let squash marinate.

This is delicious! I used romaine as it was what I had on hand. I let the squash marinate a couple of hours before tossing with the lettuce. Perfect for a midsummer's day.

easy and delicious. totally satisfying textures. I even used prepared lemon and garlic (sinful, i know!) in a pinch, and it still came out really good. tender fresh squash and nice arugula help. I didn't even add cheese. I would throw in mint and tomatoe next time to try a new combo, but the amonds and shaved squash are so good!

I've made this salad on several occasions, once for a friend who is a restauranteur. Always get rave reviews. It's a nice change from your typical summer salad with attractive presentation, different textures.

I changed this recipe a little bit based on what I had on the fridge. The summer squash marinated its the star of it and its great! I used spinach/walnuts and shaved parmesan instead. Great summer lunch!

I made this salad with squash and arugula from my garden. I did not add almonds due to allergies but I can't imagine that the almonds were the star ingredient here. Would they have made this salad the winner it should have been? The flavors were weak and muddled. A waste of good food in my opinion.

This is delicious and looks beautiful. However, you have to eat right away or the squash will become soupy. After plating it we took just a couple minutes to get some other things together before sitting down to eat, and I felt the squash had already become a bit too soft and wet by then. So unfortunately I think this can't be a company dish.

I love this salad...there's a similar version made with asparagus and parmesan that's fabulous too. Which reminds me, I like it even better with a really good shaved parmesan. Awesome!

Be Careful that the garlic doesn't overwhelm the dish. I wish I had put less.

Perfect for a summer evening. The longer the shaved squash marinates, the zestier it becomes.

Fantastic! Quick, easy and super tasty.

A wonderful new way to use all the squash coming out of the garden. I used sliced almonds and just discarded the seedy centers.

While it is time-consuming to shave the sqaush with a vegetable peeler, the finished salad was delicious. I couldn't find arugula and served the squash without it. The raw garlic gives it plenty of flavor and the finished product is colorful and perfect for a summer weeknight side.

Easy and healthy, but not very exciting.

nice and fast.. Watch the almonds,, I forgot about them and some got burned. still good though..!

Absolutely delicious!! The perfect summer salad!! Easy to prepare.

I love new salads and this was a winner! This was so simple and fresh, and a wonderful new and different salad. I added a little more lemon than the recipe called for, and it was great. Don't let the squash sit in the dressing more than a few minutes or you start to get juice/liquid in the bottom of the bowl.

We made this as a first course last night for our gourmet group - excellent summer salad. Everyone loved it and we all determined we would make it again.

• 1 pkg active dried yeast
    • 1 cup very warm water
    • 3 1/2 cups whole wheat flour
    • 2 tablespoons organic olive oil

    1. Dissolve yeast in water; let stand 5-10 minutes. Combine flour and salt in large mixing bowl. Make a well in center of flour and gradually work half the yeast mixture into well with your fingers. Add the olive oil and gradually work in remaining yeast mixture. Add a tablespoon more of water, if needed, to make dough soft and smooth. Turn dough ot onto flat surface and knead vigorously for at least 10 minutes--pushing dough away from you, then folding it back toward you--until it is smooth and elastic with a dull sheen. Shape dough into a ball and place in a large greased bowl, turning dough over to grease the top. Divide dough in half and cover with damp cloth or plastic wrap and let rise until doubled in bulk, about 45-60 minutes.

India v Australia, 4th ODI, Ranchi October 23, 2013

Kohli's costly drop

Plays of the day from the fourth ODI between India and Australia in Ranchi

The drop
India put down five catches in the game, but none was to prove as costly as the first one in the sixth over. Australia had lost their openers early for the first time in the series. Like Phillip Hughes the previous ball, the in-form George Bailey was surprised by the bounce Mohammed Shami generated. He prodded at his first delivery which went low to Virat Kohli's left at third slip. Kohli went too eagerly at the ball and it bounced off his wrist. After the drop, Bailey went on to top-score for Australia with 98.

The hit
MS Dhoni had joined the bowler Suresh Raina in appealing loudly for leg-before against Bailey in the 31st over. Even as the ball rolled towards third man, the batsmen scurried for a single. Wise to their efforts, Shikhar Dhawan had a go at the striker's end. Dhoni was still busy with the appeal and had no clue what was happening behind him till the ball smacked him on his leg. Wincing in pain, Dhoni clutched his leg and called for treatment and to add to the blow, umpire Vineet Kulkarni ruled Bailey had got an inside edge.

The reverse sweep
In the batting Powerplay, R Ashwin tried to contain Glenn Maxwell with his deep fielders on the leg side and bowling from round the stumps. Maxwell countered by picking one from outside leg stump and cracking a reverse-sweep so hard it carried for six over the deep-cover boundary. No leading edges, this was a proper strike. The next ball was given the same treatment, and sailed over the infield for four in the same region.

The bouncer
Mitchell Johnson has used the short ball liberally through the series. First ball to Shikhar Dhawan, and third ball of India's innings, Johnson decided to see how much bounce there really was on offer in Ranchi. He banged it hard into the surface and the ball flew, past Dhawan, who had managed to sway out of the line, over a hapless Brad Haddin leaping as high as he could to crash into the boundary after only one bounce. Johnson reined himself in a bit and ended the over with three successive short-of-a-length deliveries.

The throw
Rohit Sharma defended Clint McKay into the covers in the fourth over of India's innings. James Faulkner fielded the ball and lobbed it towards the keeper. Rohit was standing casually in his crease when he saw the ball descend on him and instinctively, he attempted to defend again to protect himself. Haddin was right behind him, rushing up to collect the ball but it missed both men and rolled off to the boundary. Seeing that the batsmen were never attempting a run, the umpires conferred and called the ball dead.

    @gyanesh.dan ; It was none other than Mr. Sunny Gavaskar. He said that Raina is a brilliant fielder right after he dropped a dolly. These people are making a mockery of Cricket commentary and insulting the legacy of great commentators like Tony Greig. :(

  • Nampally on October 23, 2013, 21:41 GMT

    My First play of the day was the selection of XI by Dhoni which replaced Ishant Sharma with Shami. This was a long overdue move which paid off rich dividends & would have led to easy Win for India had Kohli hung on to the Bailey's catch off Shami. My second play of the day was very poor Indian fielding with butter fingers which allowed the Aussies to escape hitting the lowest total of the series. Final one was Faulkner's shot at Rohit Sharma- which should have been given a boundary because the throw was meant to surprise catching Rohit out of the crease & ball was still in play.

  • ladycricfan on October 23, 2013, 21:24 GMT

    Kohli is an energetic fielder. May be he finds standing still at slips not to his liking. He should field at point or cover or somewhere where his athletism is needed. Well done shami. At last we get to see an Indian bowler bowling Yorkers successfully. Looks like next match is also going to be spoilt by rain. If the weather continues to be bad why can't they move the match to some other ground?

  • gyanesh.dan on October 23, 2013, 20:51 GMT

    if a brilliant fielder drops a simple catch he is a good fielder, if a good fielder drops a simple catch he is a ok fielder, if a ok fielder drops a simple catch he is a poor fielder, :) SO the commentators should say He is a good fielder if a brilliant fielder drops a simple catch... LOL

  • gyanesh.dan on October 23, 2013, 20:35 GMT

    i dont understand why the commentators say He is a brilliant fielder after they drop a simple catch.... LOL

  • samincolumbia on October 23, 2013, 18:32 GMT

    @Blade Runner - India may drop catches, but ALWAYS hold on to the World Cup! Now, lol at you.

  • crindex on October 23, 2013, 17:42 GMT

    Kohli needs glasses may be.

  • ROXSPORT on October 23, 2013, 17:41 GMT

    Since the beginning of this series, I have been crying myself hoarse pitching for the inclusion of Mohd Shami and to give him an extended run in the team. The guy has performed more often than not and to be fair to him, he deserves an uninterrupted stint in the team, if only with a view on the next world cup. And lo, the first game he is included in the team in this series, he bowls perhaps the spell of the series so far. 3 wickets and a dolly put down (George Bailey, first ball) in his first spell. Had the catch been accepted, it might well have spelled doom for Australia.

  • Blade-Runner on October 23, 2013, 17:22 GMT

    First,Kohli dropped one, then Ashwin dropped another, then UV dropped one, then Dhoni joined the club by dropping the easiest one, then again Raina dropped one. At the end, Dhawan didn't wanna feel excluded n he dropped one too. And of course, India is still the best fielding side in the world according to Indian fans n commentators. lol

India v England, 2nd Test, Mumbai, 2nd day November 24, 2012

Double spin and a double ton

ESPNcricinfo presents the plays of the day from the second day in Mumbai

Tactic of the day
India's tactic of opening the bowling with two spinners is remarkably unusual. It is thought to be the first time England have faced an all spin opening attack since the 1967 Trent Bridge Test against Pakistan. On that occasion, requiring only three for victory in the fourth innings, England were confronted by Mushtaq Mohammad and Saeed Ahmed. England also opened with two spinners after South Africa were obliged to follow-on at Lord's in 2008. With bad light threatening, England utilised Monty Panesar and Kevin Pietersen instead of their seamers. Both of those occasions were in the opposition's second innings, though, and it is thought that this game marks the first occurrence of two spinners opening the bowling with spin bowling (there were occasions when spinners bowled a couple of overs of seam) in their opposition's first innings since 1910.

Milestone of the day
The wicket of Harbhajan Singh leg before gave Graeme Swann his 200th Test wicket. By doing so in his 48th Test, he became the fourth quickest England bowler to reach the landmark after Ian Botham (41 Tests), Alec Bedser (44 Tests) and Fred Trueman (47 Tests). Later Swann claimed two more wickets to draw level with John Snow on 202 victims; only 12 England bowlers have claimed more.

Reprieve of the day
A recurring theme of England's recent cricket has been the number of chances they have missed in the field. While the one offered by Harbhajan, edging a delivery from Monty Panesar when he had scored 1, was far from easy, it was the sort of half chance that the best sides take and England, of late, rarely have taken. On this occasion the ball flew between the wicketkeeper Matt Prior and Jonathan Trott, at first slip, with neither man laying a hand on the delivery. While Trott's view would have been impaired by Prior, England may also want to reflect on the positioning of their slip fielders. For the second day in succession, they paid the penalty for leaving too large a space between them. Whether it is a reflection of their desire to cover as much space as possible or simply a teething problem as new individuals feel their way into the role remains to be seen.

Shock of the day
It cost them 382 runs, took them 790 balls and 1,016 minutes (that is four minutes short of 17 hours) but England finally dismissed Cheteshwar Pujara. Such has been his assurance in this series that there have been times when Pujara has looked impenetrably solid but, left with only the tail to accompany him, he selflessly opted to attack. Skipping down the wicket to a Swann delivery that was pushed slightly wide and barely spun, Pujara was slightly deceived in the flight and ran past the ball. It was the first time he had been stumped in his 70 match first-class career.

Blow of the day
England may have struggled to get rid of Pujara when he batted, but Alastair Cook may have inflicted a more telling blow on him when he was fielding. It was Pujara's misfortune to be at short-leg when Cook middled a sweep off the bowling of R Ashwin only to see the ball thump into Pujara's rib cage. He was helped form the field in obvious discomfort and did not reappear for the remainder of the day. His replacement, Ajinkya Rahane, later also sustained a crushing blow in the same position as he felt the full force of a Kevin Pietersen sweep.

Error of the day
Aleem Dar has a well-earned reputation for excellence as an umpire but, proving that even the best are fallible, he is enduring a disappointing series. Here he adjudged Zaheer Khan caught at short leg when replays suggested he had missed the ball by a relatively large distance. While it was probably not a decision that will turn a game, it was a reminder of the benefits of the DRS and an example of the type of 'howler' that it is designed to eliminate.

    Cook has batted beautifully -- almost as well as any non Asian in India in recent times. But in every inning he has gotten one live from the umpires, and boy has he cashed in. 1st test he was out for 34 (in 33rd over) in first inning and 41 (in 24th over) in 2nd innings. He was out yesterday on 84 in Harbhajans over (over# 62). So in 2 Tests he has already effectively batted 5 times. Prior was let off in first test second inning, and Yesterday Zaheer got a shocker. Samit got 3 bad ones in 1st test (one in favor, when he was plumb and two against, when he was not out). Over all third grade umpiring so far.

    And for most part, Ashwin has looked like an IPL bowler who does not have enough tricks to topple top batsmen, unless they throw it away. Also I think 3 spinner ploy is over. Why Pankaj Singh is not in the squad, beats me. See his 4/5 wicket videos on you tube, couple recent Ranji games and you will get the answer. Guy is tall, strong, has picked pace and balls both delivery.

    @Badgerofdoom - agree with both your posts. If it were anyone anywhere else, you'd say that England were in a very strong position at 178-2 with their two best batsmen at the crease. But this is England. In the subcontinent. Starting a whole new day! As with Badger, I fear one of these two will be out very early in the morning session and then probably quickly followed by the other and two or three more. It was the same with Cook and Prior in the last match - you just wish they could carry on batting in the evening session for another couple of hours! England's slip catching has been woeful pretty much since Colly left and exacerbated by Strauss also going. As a Lancs fan, I think Jimmy A is an incredibly athletic fielder for a big fast bowler - but he is not Paul Collingwood and has never been close to that standard; I've lost count of the number of catches (most difficult, I accept) that he's dropped in the past 18 months. Sadly Monty's inclusion isn't going to help matters!

  • aracer on November 24, 2012, 16:58 GMT

    ...oh, and the stats from the first test are that one or other of Cook and Pujara were at the crease for a total of 1268 minutes (just over 21 hours) out of a total of 1592 minutes of play - ie 80% of the match. For some reason there is no timing info from the current match, though there have only been 10 balls (out of 1081) without one of them at the crease.

  • aracer on November 24, 2012, 16:50 GMT

    @Badgerofdoom - it seems Cook worked out how to win the competition for being on the field the longest though.

  • dummy4fb on November 24, 2012, 16:01 GMT

    India, in my opinion, is not supporting DRS because of 1) their superior batting and ordinary bowling unit. Their bowlers struggle for wkts and if DRS reverses the decision, of an original out, they will be dismantled. But if one of their batsman gets out due to DRS, from original not out desicison, it will not affect their batting that much because of their rich batting pack. 2) The BCCI has refused the DRS before and they are not accepting it now because of the fear of surrendering to the cricket world.

  • Badgerofdoom on November 24, 2012, 14:14 GMT

    @challagalla England's catching has pretty bad for the last year, the most frustrating thing about being an England fan recently is seeing all the chances going to ground that used to be taken. Slip catching is one of those things you take for granted until they start dropping them all the time. @maddy20 I agree, I'm not a fan of picking more than 2 spinners no matter the pitch, if you already have a offie and left hand combo I'm not sure what another offie is going to add especially since Harbhajans not exactly been in the wickets of late.

  • challagalla on November 24, 2012, 13:19 GMT

    Whats happened to Englands catching. Never thought of them as having butter fingers. In a close match those 17 odd runs of Harbhajan may prove decisive.

  • maddy20 on November 24, 2012, 12:41 GMT

    No need to push the panic button yet. We are 1 good morning session away from getting back into the game. The most worrying thing though is Pujara's injury. He was in great pain , and its most likely to be some kind of a fracture, though I hope and pray its not the case. As for the inclusion of Harbhajan Singh, its baffling. The guys has not produced decent returns in either of the Ranji games and the logic behind his selection is beyond me! Ishant Sharma is quick, accurate and would have atleast added another dimension to the attack.

  • dummy4fb on November 24, 2012, 12:34 GMT

    I domt understand how much clearer it needs to be..WE NEED technology assistance for umpires..The DRS still backs the umpires decisions but removes howlers ..merely assisting umpires..It is very tough job and we are making it tougher by not giving them access to technology..

    Not to mention umpires in some series have the DRS and some they dont which also makes affects the decision making process of umpires

  • jmcilhinney on November 24, 2012, 12:31 GMT

    Excellent fight back from England. Good recovery with the ball, Cook leading from the front again and KP doing what we expected he would. There's still plenty of work to do but there's a genuine possibility of England taking the first innings lead that they quite likely need. With the pressure back on India in the second innings, anything could happen. Cook was obviously cautious early and I would have liked to see the openers take more singles to rotate the strike a bit more, but I was impressed to see him up his strike rate to maintain the pressure on the bowlers when KP started to go. Compton seems to be finding his way under trying circumstances, but an opening partnership between him and Cook is not exactly exciting. England could definitely do with someone like Root at the top to liven things up, but I can see why they went for Compton for this series. Unfortunately for Trott, he looks like he's still back in UAE. He looked better against SL and he needs to find that form again.

Australia 1 England 3, New Zealand 0 England 2

MCC in Australia and New Zealand, 1954-55

Under the zealous and skilful captaincy of Len Hutton, England won the rubber in Australia for the first time for twenty-two years and so retained the Ashes they took from A. L. Hassett's side at Kennington Oval in 1953. On paper the success gained by the players who sailed from Tilbury in September appears most convincing and rather suggests a comfortable tour against indifferent opposition. That was far from the case. It was a hard tour with its days of triumph and days of regret, but in the end superb fast bowling by Tyson and Statham turned the scales so that finally the Australian batsmen were completely humbled.

Some people in England never expected the side would return home conquerors by three victories to one--the final match, ruined by rain, was drawn heavily in their favour. In fact not only was the choice of Hutton as captain in the balance until mid-July, but the omission of the three bowlers, F. S. Trueman, G. A. R. Lock and J. C. Laker, who took 15 of the 19 wickets in that victory at The Oval in 1953, occasioned much surprise. In addition, M. C. Cowdrey was given a place although he had not approached his splendid form of the previous year.

At first only seventeen were selected, but Compton became doubtful owing to a recurrence of his knee trouble. He stayed behind for treatment, travelled by air and joined the team at Adelaide. Consequently, Wilson, the Yorkshire left-hander, was a late addition to the party which comprised:

  • L. Hutton (captain), Yorkshire (38);
  • P. B. H. May (vice-captain), Surrey (24);
  • R. T. Simpson, Nottinghamshire (34);
  • W. J. Edrich, Middlesex (38);
  • T. E. Bailey, Essex (30);
  • M. C. Cowdrey, Kent (21);
  • D. C. S. Compton, Middlesex (36);
  • A. V. Bedser, Surrey (36);
  • T. G. Evans, Kent (33);
  • J. H. Wardle, Yorkshire (31);
  • J. B. Statham, Lancashire (24);
  • T. W. Graveney, Gloucestershire (27);
  • R. Appleyard, Yorkshire (30);
  • J. E. McConnon, Glamorgan (31);
  • P. J. Loader, Surrey (24);
  • F. H. Tyson, Lancashire (24);
  • K. V. Andrew, Northamptonshire (24); and
  • J. V. Wilson, Yorkshire (33).
  • C. G. Howard, Lancashire (manager);
  • G. Duckworth, Lancashire (scorer and baggage master); and
  • H. W. Dalton, Essex (masseur).

Thus the complete party numbered 21 and at once I desire to emphasise the important parts played by the three officials. Geoffrey Howard carried out his duties as manager in a pleasant and efficient manner and was very well received by the Australian officials; George Duckworth, with his vast experience of numerous tours, was a cheering and inspiring influence, especially when things were going badly, and Harold Dalton, if only by keeping Tyson and Statham at the peak of condition for seven Tests, proved the wisdom of M.C.C. in sending out from England for the first time their own masseur.

The tour took three courses. There was early evidence that given fast pitches Statham would be a thorn in the side of the Australians. M.C.C. won their first two matches in Perth with some ease, but going to Adelaide they encountered a slow pitch and could only scramble home by 21 runs against South Australia. Rain spoiled what was virtually an Australian Test Trial at Melbourne and then New South Wales, under the dynamic captaincy of Keith Miller, severely shook M.C.C. in a drawn match which was saved only by the splendid batting of Hutton and Cowdrey--three centuries between them.

So M.C.C. flew to Brisbane in mid-November for the first Test not completely satisfied with their performances but nevertheless still unbeaten and knowing they were developing into a real team. Little did they realise they were entering the second phase and would soon be touching rock bottom. Against Queensland they found the fast pitch they desired, but although Simpson and Compton hit centuries against an attack which included Lindwall, the batting was still inconsistent. No one anticipated the devastating blow the team were about to receive from the pick of Australia, and indeed it might not have occurred if the fielding had approached even a reasonable level.

On the eve of the match, Evans was stricken ill and could not play. His absence was a severe loss and may well have been the turning-point, but that was only one of three factors which told so much against England. The second was Hutton's decision on winning the toss to send in Australia. I do not blame Hutton for taking the course he did. In four of the six first-class matches the team had played, the captain who won the toss preferred to take the field: Hutton and May at Perth; Miller at Sydney and Archer at Brisbane. In the previous match against Queensland, the pitch was ideally suited to fast bowlers and Hutton anticipated the same conditions, but this did not turn out to be the case as the Test pitch could not be watered immediately before the match because of the Queensland game. Yet if the England fielders had held their catches Hutton might have been hailed as a wise man; but when twelve chances go unaccepted, how can a side expect to win?

The third factor was a mishap to Compton on the very first morning when, trying to save a boundary, he ran into the wooden fence palings and fractured a bone in his left hand. Small wonder Australia won by an innings and 154 runs. So M.C.C. approached Christmas and the second Test at Sydney with none of their batsmen at all sure of themselves and knowing that Australia, somewhat doubtful about their ability before Brisbane, were now brimful of confidence as to the destiny of the Ashes.

Just as England suffered through ill luck, so did Australia in their turn. Neither Ian Johnson, their captain, nor Keith Miller were fit for the second Test. The Englishmen thought this would be the vital match. Even a draw would be useful. Meanwhile Hutton having entered the Brisbane Test with an attack of four seam bowlers, Bedser, Statham, Tyson and Bailey, decided variety was essential. He felt the need to include Appleyard as an off spinner and Wardle, left-arm slow, and so he sacrificed Bedser.

This time Morris, the Australian captain, put in England and no one in that country condemned him when Hutton's men were dismissed for 154, but it proved a very low scoring match. Only three men made 50--May 104, Cowdrey 54 and Neil Harvey 92 not out, but Tyson and Statham began their deadly combination and England won by 38 runs. All was square, the second phase was over and what turned out to be the long triumphant third phase had begun. M.C.C. were on the crest of the wave.

That Sydney victory restored confidence and, with May and Cowdrey developing high-class and reliable batsmanship, Evans keeping wicket at his very best, Bailey always doing something useful, and the tail, notably Wardle, making important little scores, England assumed the mastery; but above everything else counted the pace of Tyson and Statham.

The New Year brought a thrilling win in the Third Test at Melbourne by 128 runs, Tyson taking seven for 27 in the final innings. Then after a holiday in the lovely temperate climate of Tasmania M.C.C. went back to Adelaide for the fourth Test, which provided another hard tussle before England, thanks to 80 by Hutton, 79 by Cowdrey and some excellent bowling by Tyson, Statham, Appleyard and Bailey, won by five wickets and clinched the rubber. The last two months, February and March, provided an anti-climax. The tension was over but there were still three more Tests awaiting decision. Owing to rain, nothing could be done in the fifth Test at Sydney until the fourth day and then England outplayed Australia, though time prevented them gaining the victory they deserved.

Finally, a brief tour of New Zealand where both Tests were won, the team setting the seal on their great work in the last innings of all when they routed New Zealand for 26, the lowest total in the history of Test cricket. Hutton made his farewell to International cricket in that match. Certainly he could not have wished for a more triumphant finale to a wonderful career.

Only twice in the Tests did a team exceed 300. Australia reached 601 at Brisbane and England 371 in the fifth match at Sydney. While credit must be given to the bowlers the fact remains that no longer did the batsmen find themselves on shirt-front or even easy-paced pitches. As in England, the modern Australian groundsmen leave some grass and the pitches do not undergo so much rolling as in the days when Sir Jack Hobbs and Sir Donald Bradman were in their prime.

Most surprising was the deterioration in Australian batting. During the tour only four hundreds were hit against M.C.C. and none after the first Test, whereas nineteen were hit by Hutton's men including two in New Zealand. England never found a satisfactory opening pair. Here are the figures for the first wicket in the five Tests: Brisbane 4, 22 by Hutton and Simpson; Sydney 14 and 18 by Hutton and Bailey; Melbourne 14 and 40 by Hutton and Edrich; Adelaide 60 and 3 by Hutton and Edrich; Sydney 6 by Hutton and Graveney. Hutton had four different partners and the burden he carried in this respect, added to all the care and attention he gave to the captaincy both on and off the field, severely taxed him both mentally and physically.

At first there was no indication of any decline in Hutton as a batsman; his first three first-class matches yielded him scores of 145 not out, 37, 98, 102 and 87. Then came the Test matches and for the remainder of the tour he reached 50 only four times, his best being 80, a most valuable innings in the fourth Test at Adelaide. Indeed it was the highest of that match and went a long way towards winning the rubber.

For May, the vice-captain, the tour brought enhanced reputation, for not only did it reveal his qualities of leadership on the few occasions when Hutton rested, but it put beyond shadow of doubt his ability as a batsman. Compton, after his wretched experiences of the previous tour when eight Test innings brought him an aggregate of no more than 53, average 7.57, quickly found his form against South Australia and Queensland, but that fielding mishap at Brisbane accounted for his low scores in the first Test and not until late in the tour did he look his real self again although his aggregate of 78 for once out at Adelaide was an important factor in England's success.

Edrich, nearing the end of his career, never revealed his former powers and Wilson, the Yorkshire left-hander, always a magnificent fielder, could not settle down on the fast Australian pitches. Both Simpson and Graveney were unreliable although Graveney, when the tension had gone, finished in a blaze of glory.

Against all these batting disappointments was the success of Cowdrey, the Oxford captain of the previous English season. From the moment the ship stopped for a day at Colombo he rarely knew failure. Any hesitation which may have existed in Hutton's mind about including Cowdrey in the Tests disappeared when, on the team's first appearance in Sydney, Cowdrey hit 110 and 103 against New South Wales. In the second innings of that match, Hutton switched places with Cowdrey and when this brilliant young batsman of only 21 years of age made his second hundred Hutton had serious thoughts about opening with him in the Tests. As it was Cowdrey proved his worth lower in the order, notably when he made 102 out of a total of 191 in the first innings at Melbourne.

Before the party was chosen in England the decision was reached to assail Australia with a battery of fast bowlers. The attack was well endowed numerically and in variety. There were five seamers, Bedser, Statham, Bailey, Tyson and Loader, and three spinners, Appleyard, Wardle and McConnon. The accent on speed turned out far more successful than anyone dared to hope.

Moreover it was accomplished without much assistance from Bedser. That was the big surprise. Bedser fell ill with shingles soon after the team landed in Perth. He was scarcely fit for the first Test at Brisbane and let down by fielders who missed seven catches he finished with one wicket for 131. Hutton included Bedser among the twelve for Sydney, but on the morning of the match he made the dramatic announcement that Bedser would be omitted. This must have been a very hard decision for Hutton, but there were many factors including the difficulty of hiding him in the field. Events alone justified Hutton, but above everything else the transformation of Tyson between the first and second Tests saved the captain from adverse criticism long before the last ball of the tour was bowled.

After taking only one wicket for 160 runs at Brisbane, Tyson shortened his run and gained complete control over length and direction without losing any of his fire. In the next three Tests he took 26 wickets and, with 15 falling to Statham, a devastating alliance was formed between these two young Lancashire-born players. Thanks to their efforts all the other bowlers had a very light tour.

Neither Loader nor McConnon could gain a place in any of the Tests, but Loader who took 41 wickets in first-class matches, bowled extremely well. McConnon suffered from injuries and after receiving a broken finger while fielding at Hobart he returned home before the fourth Test. By this time the presence of eighteen players in the party was an encumbrance, for with lack of match practice it was difficult to keep the understudies in form. Simpson, Graveney and to some extent Wilson were handicapped in this respect.

Mention has already been made of the wonderful work of Evans behind the stumps. Always brimful of energy no matter how exhausting the heat of the day, he was an inspiration to the whole team and especially the bowlers. Andrews, the deputy wicket-keeper, lacked Evans's effervescence, but he was neat and efficient in an ordinary way.

For Australia, three defeats in successive Tests came as a severe blow to their cricketing pride. The three selectors, Sir Donald Bradman, Jack Ryder and D. Seddon were the target of harsh criticism from some quarters but they were unshaken in their belief that they chose the best players available and later events in the West Indies upheld their opinion. The same men who went down before England showed there was little wrong with Australian cricket that concentration and determination could not put right. A word of praise must be given to the Australian umpires who achieved miracles by satisfying almost everyone.

Clearly England won on their merit and to Hutton, particularly, must be given the credit for the way he conducted himself and his men. For me it was a privilege and pleasure to accompany M.C.C. on this eventful tour as the representative of Reuters and the Press Association. I should add that the team were showered with hospitality wherever they went and although rivalry was as keen as it should be, the true spirit of cricket and good-fellowship always existed between the two teams.

I just googled images for "scarf on head fashion" and really, none of the pictures look like the wearer is doing it for religious reasons. Some of the scarves are so beautiful and there are so many ways to wear them.
Good heavens - according to some of these articles, the way I used to wear my scarves is not only OK, but the new hot trend. I don't know what I'll do with myself, being fashionable!

Post a picture here! We want to see!  :)
Oh, drat - it was LAST YEAR. Oh well.

If you are one of the few women who can wear a scarf well, go for it!   Rhoda could, and may have spawned an earlier trend.

I see no problem with it. Scarves aren't strictly a religious item, even if they are used for religious purposes by some groups.
I will admit, I do get annoyed when things that ARE religious items (crosses, etc) are used as just a fashion accessory, but I don't see this as that situation at all.

I'm not religious, but I love wearing a scarf in the summer like this:  http://www.zigoti.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/how-to-wear-a-bandana.jpg  Although I favor more tie-dye/floral/patterned prints, not actual bandanas.

So I say go for it!  If you are wearing a scarf with a t-shirt and shorts, people would probably not assume you are wearing it for religious reasons.  In other words, I would only think it was religious based on the whole outfit (long sleeves, long pants or skirt, etc.)  But even if you did want to wear it with a long shirt and long pants for fashion reasons, that is your right too.

If I saw a woman with a scarf over here hair, if it looked nice probably all I'd think was "oh, isn't that pretty!"If it looked a bit odd (didn't match, or something) I might think "oh its probably religious"

Maybe this came across wrong, but I actually would think the opposite.  Women who wear scarves for religious reasons tend to have pretty scarves that are perfectly coordinated to their outfits, because they wear them every day and are in the habit of choosing a scarf that goes with the rest of the clothes.    If I saw a woman in a scarf that was odd or didn't match, I'd probably assume the person was new to wearing them or didn't habitually wear them.

I love scarves to be worn on the head, usually as headbands but alas, they like to try to slide out of my hair. :P So if it works for your hair, go for it! :)

I do cover my hair for religious reasons (Orthodox Jew).  Wear a scarf - seriously, we don't own the copy right to covering your hair, and if you enjoy doing it, then go for it!  I can tell you that to the best of my knowledge, in the 10 years I've been married and covering my hair, I've never been mistaken for a Muslim woman because of my hair covering (if that is your mom's concern).  I have been mistaken for a cancer patient more than once and those times were very uncomfortable for me and the person who made the mistake, even though I tried to make it as uncomfortable as possible.

If someone objects to your choice of hair accessories, that is really their problem.  I'd tag it the same as someone who objects to body art - you don't have to like their choice, but unless they ask your opinion, you don't have the right to say anything.

I vote for moseying on over to Pinterest. There are tons (TONS!!!) of awesome pins about the different ways you can wear scarves. In my experience, it's unlikely that a scarf worn for fashion would be mistaken for one worn for religious purposes. If you're sporting a scarf as a headband, weaving it into your braid, using it as a bow, etc, it should be clear to most people that it's just a fabulous fashion accessory.

I currently have three scarves tied to my purse strap, and I'm wearing a lovely purple paisley "do-rag" style.  Folded into a triangle, center on my forehead, ends tied at the back of my head.

I change out the ones on my purse to match my clothing.

Scarves are pretty.  Wear them whenever you want.

I have decided that no one can leave the house and go anywhere without offending someone for some reason.  If people get offended by a scarf, it's their problem, not yours.  Wear those scarves!

I am one of those women who cannot wear a scarf  on my head, around my neck, around my waist, anywhere.  They always end up looking sloppy or falling off.   I have a lot of pretty scarves that people have given me.  What I do is tie them on my handbag strap or handle.  They stay put that way and I think it's a nice look.

Having lived in a strong Muslim area, head scarves that denote religion are obvious. They aren't worn as a fashion statement. Sure, some look nice and have fashionable patterns, but again there are specific ways they are to be worn depending on which form of Islam one follows as well as family/clan/sect/tribal connections. I think of some of my black friends who where scarves wrapped and tied on their heads. It's again obvious that it's cultural, not religious. I also know many college students (I work in a University setting) who wear scarves as a form of a statement rather than fashion. Again, it's obvious. Wear it however you like - whether religious, cultural, a statement, or because it pleases you. What others think doesn't matter unless it specifically goes against your work dress code.

I think scarves worn over the hair can look gorgeous, and if you've been doing it for a while, you're probably a pro!  When I went back to school, one of our class assignments was a demonstrative speech.  A lovely girl in my class demonstrated different ways to wear/tie/fashion scarves using a hairdresser's dummy.  All of the women in the class, ranging in age from 20-something to 50-something, were clustered so closely around the speaker she could barely move!  It was a huge hit.  Our speaker wore scarves daily, but it was not until that day that I learned that she had lost her hair due to agressive chemo.  She always looked so pretty, I just thought she was making a fashion statement.  Her health has returned now, as has her hair, but I know from her facebook photos that she's still sporting the scarves from time to time.  I say if it works for you, do it!   :D

I've never been into scarves but I did get some funny looks once.  I was in a regional poker tournament (You had to win your way in so you had to be fairly decent)  It was in a really old cavernous building built pre-A/C's in a hot area .  Overnight the temperature had plummeted to near freezing.  So, this building was cold.  I wore my pashima scarf wrapped around my head and my ears, and huddled a bit.  I noticed people looking at me funny, and wanting to ask if the scarf was religious or for warmth.  But they never could figure out how to do it. Plus, confusing people in poker is a good thing.

If it were not for the scarves I've worn over the years, my ears would have been frozen and dropped off. Winter can be cold here in the UK. I have not yet been taken for a grandma, a Muslim, or a cancer patient, even when I was a cancer patient. Perhaps the Englsih are more reticent about commenting on other peoples appearence, although i did have a straw hat trimmed with a yellow rose which I wore when I lost my hair admired by a passing gent.  I wear my scarves  knotted under the chin, any other way, and they fall off.

Do your thing OP, and stop worrying about other people. As demarco said, wear those scarves!

Halo even better on 360?

Bungie hints at enhancements.

Halo developer Bungie has hinted that the hit shooter and its sequel are going to look even better on the Xbox 360.

The author of Bungie's latest weekly update writes that he is "Counting the days" until Microsoft's next-gen console is released, adding: "First thing I am going to do is play Halo one on my HDTV... There is a very slight possibility I might play PGR3 or Perfect Dark Zero first. But then, straight onto Halo one."

And here comes the kicker: "We're going to have more to tell you about how Halo one and two look on 360 - and it's all good news."

Hmm. So that would certainly suggest that we can expect some kind of enhancements - but what form might these take? 720p support, perhaps, or something even more advanced?

Neither Bungie nor Microsoft is saying any more at this stage, so who knows... But any kind of enhanced Halo sounds good to us.

    Get the i5 for sure mate, i went from a dual core sandy g540 to a i52500
    and far cry 3 my frames went from around 30 to 60, fifa played smoother etc just the fact its 4 real cores vs 2 also gives way more future proofing.
    Also i recommend this xfx psu(seasonic rebrand) over the cx430 as it has 2 pci power connector's and more amps on the 12v rail (gpu)
    i have a cx430v2 and i have to use an adapter as my gpu requires 2 pci cables (gtx560ti), so i regret not getting that xfx.
