Bitter Hummus

Made hummus with dried chickpeas (I used Nigella Lawson's overnight soak with a slurry of 1 T flour, 1 T salt, 1/2 t. baking soda, then boiled until tender), olive oil, boughten tahini, salt, lemon juice. It was terribly bitter! Any ideas why it could have happened?

Wikipedia's entry for Hummus (the devil's in the details) --

"Not to be confused with Humus."

Hummus (Arabic: ???????) is a Middle Eastern and Arabic food dip or spread made from cooked, mashed chickpeas, blended with tahini, olive oil, lemon juice, salt and garlic.
Hummus is an Arabic word (???? ?ummu?) meaning "chickpeas" and the complete name of the prepared spread in Arabic is ???? ?????? ?ummu? bi ?a??na which means "chickpeas with tahini"

humus is NOT food why would you want to eat it !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
foodroom January 27, 2012
Could be the olive oil - often bitter - or possibly a stray pip from the lemon...
drkate January 26, 2012
I did use toasted tahini, and it was fresh from the store last week, but when I tasted it this afternoon, I could immediately tell the bitterness certainly came from the tahini. There is no expiration date on the jar and it was made in a facility here in town, so I never imagined it could have been the tahini. I guess it was on the shelf a little too long. Thank you to everyone for the suggestions!
sarah K. January 26, 2012
I had the same problem with my last batch of hummus, and checked the tahini. I had used raw tahini, rather than toasted sesame tahini, and the difference was obvious. The raw stuff was bitter and nasty, not like a rancid taste. Any chance you used raw tahini?
maggiesara January 26, 2012
I'm wondering if perhaps the tahini had gone rancid? That would give a bitter taste, and tahini is one of those things that can sit on both supermarket and home shelves for a very long time. I certainly have had trouble in the past with old beans/peas of various sorts, but IMO they tend to be hard and chalky, rather than bitter.
drkate January 26, 2012
Here's the reference to the chickpeas soaked with flour and salt and baking soda. It appears to be borrowed from Anna del Conte. A search of the interwebs turns up a lot of disagreement and disgruntlement among cooks who have had sad, disappointing, even tooth-breakingly unpleasant experiences cooking their chickpeas, but there are many, many cooks who stand by their statements that crockpots or oven baking or soaking or boiling for 2 minutes, resting for an hour and then proceeding with the recipe works great. I must try to put a bit of that tahini on some bread and see if that's the culprit. Thank you to all who have responded!
susan G. January 26, 2012
I believe the purpose of the baking soda is to soften (alkalize) the cooking water, and/or speed up cooking time. Flour? possibly to help keep the soda in solution? Anyway, I've never used either and chickpeas cook up just fine. Maybe for some of the ancient beans that never want to cook through...
Slow C. January 26, 2012
Dried chickpeas only need to be soaked overnight in water, boiled, perhaps a bit of salt toward the end for seasoning and finishing. Flour and baking soda? Sure to produce off flavors. I'm guessing the bitterness is from the tahini. I've always hated the stuff until I was encouraged to explore different brands. I thought about where the stuff comes from and who eats it and wandered down to a local ethnic shop (think Greek/Turkish/Israeli, etc.) and asked them which brand of tahini sells best there. The difference is unbelievable (and MUCH less expensive than the fancy brands from fancy stores). Since then I have been told that my hummus is "the best they've ever eaten"--my recipe is nothing special, it's the not-bitter tahini.
Sadassa_Ulna January 25, 2012
I use about a 1/4 -1/3 cup of tahini per 7 cups of cooked chickpeas when I make hummus because I find tahini too strong and kind of bitter (I compensate by adding lots of olive oil). I think it might be your tahini or ratio of tahini ti chickpeas. Try a little plain tahini on some bread and see if that is the same bitterness you are tasting in your hummus. If you have a can of any mild beans you can salvage the stuff you made by pureeing/adding them.
drkate January 25, 2012
At a half teaspoon just in soaking water for 6 cups, I don't know about the baking soda. Garlic was raw.
MauraKaras January 25, 2012
I'm thinking it's the baking soda. Thats the only ingredient I could see being bitter. Your garlic was raw, right?
drkate January 25, 2012
I'm not sure the chemistry of the slurry, but the people who suggested it claim that it improves the texture of the chickpeas; it makes them smoother/creamier. I experimented with the b. vinegar suggestion, and that did add a nice tang. I also tried adding a bit of blood orange-infused olive oil, and that was pretty effective at first, but the bitterness was still pronounced after the initial flavor of the orange dissipated.
The garlic was two or three weeks old, so that might be it. I didn't notice a sprouted one, but the 3 cloves of garlic I used was the last of a head I'd used cloves from for other things.
susan G. January 25, 2012
My recipe for hummus uses 1/3 cup tahini to 2 cups of cooked chickpeas, so you are only using 1/2 that amount -- I don't think that's the problem. How about the garlic? Some people comment on the bitterness of garlic that has begun to sprout.
I'm curious about the flour used while soaking the chickpeas... what's the purpose?
drkate January 25, 2012
I will try the b. vinegar and see if that helps some! Thank you!
drkate January 25, 2012
I made about 6 cups of the stuff (had no idea how much the c'peas would expand) and added almost 1/2 cup of tahini.
winegirlnc January 25, 2012
How much tahini did you use? It shouldn't be the predominant ingredient. I typically don't use more than 1-2 TB in my go-to recipe. I've never made hummus with dried chickpeas, but is it possible they needed to be rinsed before you did the soaking?
Tilley V. January 25, 2012
Tahini is quite bitter on its own and that will almost always be the predominant flavor of hummus. I suggest adding a teaspoon of balsamic vinegar to it to deepen the flavor and cut the acidity a bit. Let us know how it goes.
drkate January 25, 2012
Forgot to mention garlic was in there, too!

Learned hazy details of an egg technique, but no luck finding a recipe: soft-boiling, then scrambling -- any ideas?

pestopasta March 3, 2012
Sounds like Asparagus à la Flamande (Flemish-style): asparagus spears topped with mashed hard boiled eggs, lemon, melted butter, salt and pepper and a parsley sprinkle.
bigpan March 2, 2012
I have enjoyed a poached egg over asparagus at fine Italian restaurants but when at home have done it with poached quail egg. The size is better for an appetizer rather than chicken egg.
Kristen M. March 2, 2012
That sounds amazing -- what was the consistency and color of the sauce -- thin, smooth, and yellow, or more mottled and clumpy? And do you recall how long you cooked the egg? Thanks so much.
Greenstuff March 3, 2012
More mottled and clumpy than smooth but with just a bit of egg yolk still available to make the sauce. I don't really recall the cooking time, but I'd describe it as just past the soft-boiled and slightly into the hard-boiled stage.

btw, I seem to be getting just a fraction of my notifications the past couple days. I did get pestopasta's and think he/she has it, though no way would we have used French for that dish! If it's Flemish, it's "op Vlaamse wijze" or more likely "op zijn Vlaams."
Greenstuff March 2, 2012
I'm not sure what you're getting after here, but maybe this will help you find what you're looking for. Many years ago, I lived in Belgium, and our classic "sauce" for asparagus was pretty much what you describe. Partially boiled eggs, scrambled, with the addition of butter and a little lemon juice. It was remarkably delicious and made the asparagus a main dish throughout its season.

I am making Chicken Vermentino (from another website)http://cooking.nytimes.com/recipes/9079-roast-chicken-vermentino

Is there any reason this dish cannot be assembled ahead of time - maybe 3-4 hours early?

I just made this. It is simply divine. It just went in to our permanent file. I did what susan w said. I used 2 oz dried porcini - about $8 but i left out the potatoes and added a pound of baby portobellos and quartered onions. I sautéed the fresh mushrooms in small batches. The recipe starts with chicken skin side down (it stuck a bit). The only thing I would recommend if preparing in advance is not to add the liquid until it goes in the oven. I think you could prepare the mushrooms and just hold them and the liquid separately until you are ready to roast. I used rosemary from my garden. I think fresh thyme would work well also. The aroma and the flavor are wonderful and it comes out a gorgeous carmelized color. I roasted cauliflower as a side dish which is easy to put together. Enjoy. Thank you for asking this question because I wouldn't have found this recipe without you!!!
MMH November 7, 2016
Forgot to say i used all chicken thighs.
MMH November 7, 2016
Also another pound of any type of mushroom would work well.
Susan W. November 7, 2016
I can't wait to make this. It sounds amazing. I'll probably skip the potatoes too and add rutabaga (it's making a comeback at my house) and baby portabellas.
Susan W. November 5, 2016
Your link doesn't work. You need to be sure there's a space between the link and whatever precedes it. I usually put the link on a separate line to be sure.

I looked it up with Google and it looks like a perfect thing to assemble ahead of time. I'm questioning the amount of dried mushrooms. Does 2.5 ounces really turn into 2.5 cups? I know at my stores, 2.5 ounces would cost a fortune, but go for it if that's not an issue. I think I'd use fresh baby portabella mushrooms, but all those dried will be delicious!!

Here's the link for anyone who's interested in the recipe. I'm definitely making it soon.

What's the difference between remoulade and tartar sauce?

Is one considered to be better/tastier than the other?

wssmom June 28, 2011
Chef June, of course it's better!
CarlaCooks June 28, 2011
Remoulade is very popular here in Denmark. People use it on the open-face sandwhiches with cold roast beef and with fried fish. It's pretty darn yummy!
ChefJune June 28, 2011
I learned to make Tartar Sauce in France, and it uses gherkins and not sweet pickles. I like it so much better than just stirring in pickle relish.
wssmom June 27, 2011
Around here (e.g. my kitchen) we call it Ray Milland Sauce (remember the movie, the Man with the X-Ray Eyes? Awesome!) and the main difference is that the Ray Milland Sauce has gherkins instead of sweet pickle relish, some tarragon, and no shallot, while the Tartar Sauce has the sweet pickle relish, chopped egg and some minced shallot (and no tarragon). That being said, sometimes we make tartar sauce with just mayonnaise and sweet pickle relish, period, and no one seems to mind.
lovesitc June 27, 2011
Hilarious point, Sam1148 :)
thirschfeld June 27, 2011
Great on shrimp, crab, lobster, some fish and excellent on oyster po'boys
Sam1148 June 27, 2011
About 8 Dollars to the price of the main dish. (g).
lovesitc June 27, 2011
Any thoughts on whether remoulade would be a good sauce for seafood, like tartar is?
thirschfeld June 27, 2011
it sort of depends on what remoulade sauce lovesitic is talking about. If you are talking classic French the above two answers are on the money while if you are talking classic New Orleans style you are talking a whole different bird from tartar sauce and for that matter classic French remoulade. Either way tartar sauce is usually mayonnaise, pickles of you liking and capers and from there there are variations based on personal tastes and remoulade contains mustard, and sometimes ketchup in the base.
pierino June 27, 2011
Anchovies (while I love them) aren't absolutely essential in remoulade; it's the mustard that matters. "Better/tastier"? It depends on how you are using them in your dish. Remoulade is great with celery root, no anchovies required, but tartar sauce, probably not.
ChefJune June 27, 2011
Remoulade has anchovies. Classic Tartar Sauce has hard boiled eggs in it. Otherwise, they are very similar, mayonnaise based sauces.

Sweet Potato Black Bean Patties

There’s a wonderful vegan restaurant here in Nashville that I go to often and basically get the exact same thing every time. What can I say? I know what I like. This repeat dish is a wonderful plate of scrumptious black bean and sweet potato tacos. The first time I ever ordered it I was VERY skeptical but determined to try new things (until I found THE dish and then I’d never order something new again). My mouth was pleasantly surprised and it’s become one of my favorite go to meals on the go.
So, when I saw black bean and sweet potato patties on a menu while traveling in Asheville, NC, I knew I had to try it. Something about the combination of these two things is SO good to me. The patties were wonderful, of course, and as soon as I returned home, I got busy trying to recreate them.
If you’re a skeptic, just try it! I promise you won’t be disappointed (unless something is wrong with you and you don’t like either black beans or sweet potatoes….wait, that describes at least one person I know…I digress).
On another note, these aren’t the prettiest things to make. Nothing like my Banana Protein Pancakes, but again, I PROMISE, they’re tasty!

1 large peeled and diced sweet potato
1 tablespoon cumin
2 tablespoons brown sugar
1 teaspoon garlic powder
dash of cinnamon (or 2, if you’re me)
green onions
2 1/2 cups bread crumbs
2/3 cup grated cheddar cheese (you can use 1/4 cup if you want this to be a bit healthier)
2 cups black beans, rinsed and drained
1/2 cup eggs, cracked and beaten
dash of sriracha (or 2 or 3 or 4)

1. Boil your sweet potatoes until they are soft and easily mashable. Drain and mash.
2. Add cumin, brown sugar, garlic powder, and cinnamon. Stir.
3. Fold in remaining ingredients: green onion, bread crumbs, cheese, black beans, eggs, and sriracha
4. Heat pan to medium-low heat and spray with cooking spray.
5. Roll mixture in your hands to create 2-3 ounce balls. Press balls down to create patties that are rather thin. I’ve found that the thinner these are, the better they cook without burning on the outside.
6. Cook patties on each side for ~7 minutes.
7. Let cool and NOM!

I often make these on a Sunday night and put 2-3 of them in small tupperware containers to have for lunch throughout the week. These are great (maybe even better?) reheated so it makes a great, healthy, lunch!

  1. Just seeing if anyone else has had this happen. When going slow and turning left over a curb (basically only when I pull in my driveway) I am hearing a clunking noise from the front right corner of the van. It almost sounds like something loose that is swinging back and forth in this situation. I've looked both under the hood and around the suspension and can't seem to track it down. I don't believe it's in the suspension as it all seems tight and I never hear it going straight. I thought my hood prop was loose when it first happened but its not. I'll pull the wheel off this weekend and see if I can track it down.
  2. Wouldn’t be surprised at all. I bet wagons sell maybe 5% of the total of vans. Even worse on the full size transit.
  3. Mine has 161k on it and its been flawless. That said I'd have a mechanic do a thorough inspection on it before buying. I am super easy on mine but I know not everyone drives like I do.
  4. Personally I wish we got the transit custom in the US. Nice in between size from the TC to the transit but much better fuel economy I’d think than the transit.
  5. Have these started getting to the dealers? Wondering how fuel mileage will compare and what kind of maintenance they will need.
  6. True, I only use full synthetic oil. And I do think these super long intervals that manufacturers recommend are somewhat due to lowering the ‘cost of ownership’ and not because it’s fine for the engine to go that long. Still it’s only like $30 to do it myself so In the grand scheme of things it’s pretty cheap.
  7. Yeah the second gen vans are 10k mile intervals. I do 5k personally. I’d rather ‘over service’ the van and not have failures as I obviously drive a ton and need to be able to count on my van running well and not having down time. I do it myself so it’s not expensive so it’s cheap piece of mind for me.

    New guy looking for ideas on rear seating

    The newer second row is a split seat with about a foot between them which would be a perfect spot to put a removable wheel chock. Maybe you can find one salvage or something? I also use mine for racing but I use a hitch rack as my KTM dirt bike is several inches too tall to fit.
  9. Haha that’s a decent month for me 😂
  10. I am the OP, I’ve just put an additional 50k on it in the last 11 months 😳
  11. Just an update as I've now hit a little over 150k now and still a very good ownership experience. I broke another windshield so number 3 will be going in and the trim on the side of the drivers seat where the powered seat controls are has broken near the front but its not exactly life changing haha! Just need to do a belt change when it warms up in a few days and I'll keep it on trucking. I had to put on tire set #3 around july as well but the Generals I've been running have been excellent both in performance and life.
  12. Spooner

    Drivers seat side trim broken?

    Yeah what I think it is, is that when you get out the side bolster pushes down and hits the top of the trim and is able to put a lot of pressure on it. Over time the flexing of the trim breaks the mounting point. Just a bad design. They are plastic in every car I've ever seen, they just need more clearance from the seat to the trim.
  13. Spooner

    Drivers seat side trim broken?

    It’s the trim with the power seat controls. The front part is what broke away.
  14. Spooner

    Apparent roof leak

    Mine did that and it was the holes for the roof rack that were leaking. I don't have the rack so it was the rubber seals or whatever they stick in the holes. Luckily I was still under warranty when it happened as it took them a few times to figure it out. They actually changed out my glass in the back of the van and it still was happening so they had to keep digging until they found the problem.
  15. Spooner

    Drivers seat side trim broken?

    It’s a 2015 titanium wagon with 150k on it so a bit out of warranty haha!

My Computer Option Is Grayed Out When Trying to Back Up Remote Machine

Thread needs solution
Messaggi: 2
Commenti: 1

Until recently a scheduled daily Full backup task would complete successfully without issue. Now, the only way I can get the task to complete successfully, is to Log into the Acronis True Image Management console (XP PRO 32BIT), then connect to the specific computer with specific login settings filled out. For other computers within the domain environment, I don't have to specify login Settings. I have tried uninstalling/re-installing the agent software on the target computer and have used the Task Zap command line utility with no success. The domain account used to backup all computers within the network is a domain admin. The target computer is a domain controller/exchange 2003 server. I cannot see any issue with permissions. I have a second Server 2003 domain controller that backs up without issue and all permissions appear to be identical.

This is driving me insane! Please help!

Convert dynamic to basic disk

Posted: 15 Mar 2015, 19:40
by jackdup
Below is a link to a previous post however have not had a reply and am not sure how to get some assistance. According to a reply I received it is possible to convert the disk back to basic from dynamic using testdisk but I have no idea what to do. The disk has not been used since I converted to dynamic and found the disk is not bootable when it is dynamic. I didn't use it with the hopes of being able to convert it back and still maintain everything on the disk but need some assistance in converting it back so as not to lose any of the data. I had cloned the drive and converted the cloned disk back using a different program as I had not gotten a reply here but it loses the gpt/efi (at least I believe that is what it called it) so while everything is still on the drive it is seen as essentially being empty.

I would really appreciate if someone could offer some assistance in converting this disk back to basic while maintaining what it on it.

If I need to provide additional information in order to get assistance please advise and I will be happy to provide whatever information is needed. ... t4738.html

After converting the cloned disk back to basic and losing the gpt/efi I tried using testdisk again to recovery it and posted a request for assistance in this thread which shows what testdisk found but again don't know if the MBR needs to be rebuilt or what would have to be done to make it bootable and usable so if I could get assistance with either of the two drives it would be great. I would prefer to convert the original back to basic from dynamic as noted above but need some guidance. ... t4759.html

Thank you

"Találkoztál már a lányokkal?"

Translation:Have you met the girls already?

August 11, 2016

I certainly am not a translation expert, but North American English has a different meaning for "already". Already refers to something that is complete, done, finished. Literally "all ready", "all prepared". "Already" comes from the old Scandanavian word "allerede". Common English usage would be something like, "Did you finish the test already?", or "is the bread done already?", or "Did you meet the girls already?" (have you done it?). In most cases "yet" and "already" are interchangeable.

August 29, 2016

August 11, 2016

Well, now that you speak Hungarian, maybe it's time...

I guess both "yet" and "probably" could be accepted. Am I correct in sensing that "already" has the expectation that the answer will probably be yes?

To answer my own question... my "bible" says that a question with "yet" is an open question - asking for information, while a question with "already" has an expectation of confirmation.

In that sense, "yet" is the better choice here. There are other ways to express the assumption that you have already met the girls.

August 11, 2016

Well, I wish (not about meeting the girls, but speaking Hungarian). OK, I don't own a bible, and I am not English native speaker, this may explain why I did not make the difference between already and yet. Then, how do they translate "have you met the girls already""? in your bible.

August 12, 2016

Well, I can only recommend this amazing book, makes me look so smart. :)

Practical English Usage - by Michael Swan

So, I don't think there is that kind of differentiation in Hungarian as there is between "yet" and "already" in English. That is why I said both could be accepted. But it does stand closer to the "yet" version.

So, if I think that you have already met the girls, I would ask/say something like this:

"Gondolom, találkoztál már a lányokkal(?)"
"Gondolom" means "I think".
This is a statement that sounds like a question.

And there is a very useful word: "ugye". Originally comes from "úgy-e", which literally means something like "whether it is so". But you can't make an exact translation to English because it can cover many situations. It can cover all of those ", isn't it?" / ", correct?" / ", right?" structures at the end of English questions:

"We are friends, aren't we?" - "(Mi) barátok vagyunk, ugye?"

"You have already met the girls, haven't you?" - "Találkoztál már a lányokkal, ugye?"

You can also place it at the front of the sentence:

"Ugye, mi jó barátok vagyunk?"

There are several other options to use similarly. Here are a few:

"Igaz" - true:

  • "Barátok vagyunk, igaz?"

"Nem igaz" - not true:

  • "Barátok vagyunk, nem igaz?"

"Nemde" - something like "not so"

  • "Barátok vagyunk, nemde?"

These all pretty much mean the same thing. But I'm sure there are small differences in usage. These ones above are usually placed at the end of the sentence. "Ugye" can be put more freely at the beginning, sometimes even the middle of a sentence.

So, these can be combined with "gondolom". Oh, and you can even say "feltételezem" - "I suppose/assume".

So, maybe I would say something like this:

"Gondolom, találkoztál már a lányokkal, igaz?"
Closely translated:
"I think you have already met the girls, correct?"

You can play around with the variations. You can't go terribly wrong.

August 12, 2016

I would certainly translate this as "Have you already met the girls". "Have you met the girls yet" does have similar meaning.

September 5, 2016

what is this new suffix, -kal?

November 15, 2017

It's -val "with".

You see it as -val after vowels; after consonants, it assimilates its first consonant to the last consonant of the noun, thus lányok + -val > lányok + -kal > lányokkal.

(And in the singular you would get lány + -val > lány + -nyal > lánynyal > lánnyal with nny as a simplification of nyny.)

Farmduino V1.4 In Stock

We do not plan on re-stocking v1.4 Farmduinos, though we will definitely have v1.5 boards available when the v1.5 Genesis kits are ready.

Copyright restrictions of Medal Index Cards, Service Records etc
Members of the Gallipoli Association Forum MAY post images of MIC's/service records etc on the Gallipoli Association Forum provided they have downloaded these themselves from Ancestry or similar sites, or have obtained them from, for example, the NA, and they relate to a specific research project being undertaken by the Gallipoli Association member in question.

Members MAY NOT use the Gallipoli Association Forum to display any images of MIC's, service records etc downloaded from Ancestry or any similar genealogy sites on behalf of a third party. Members who are NOT subscribers to Ancestry and similar sites, MAY NOT use the Gallipoli Association Forum as a platform to ask parties to download data on their behalf.

It is the intention of the Gallipoli Association to keep the Forum as free of advertising as possible.

This rule will be interpreted sympathetically, and only links to major commercial operations will be automatically banned. Any links to sites run by individual members offering their own books, research or other WW1-related activities will be allowed unless, in the view of the moderators, they appear to constitute a major business, or push acceptable bounds of behaviour.

We are also aware of occasional advertising by proxy, i.e. where a member appears to make unnecessarily repetitive mentions of a commercial service. Again, we reserve the right to amend such posts accordingly.

If anyone is unsure about commercial links in signatures, please contact us. The Team will discuss your queries and advise accordingly.

Advertising Of Personal Publications
In common with the membership, the Trustees are keen to know of new publications relating to the Gallipoli campaign, and we welcome news of new books etc, particularly those written by our members. It is an important part of our information exchange to learn of the availabilty of new publications, both for pleasure, and to expand research.

In relation to this subject, the one rule we will make is that:

Only ONE image of the cover of a book or media (DVD etc) may be posted on the main discussion board, in addition to one in the Classified Section (if the author chooses to place a notice there).

Otherwise, we reserve the right to edit overt advertising i.e. excessive mentions, links, multiple threads etc etc. In other words, please play fair, make use of the Forum, but do not abuse the Forum’s hospitality.

Where applicable, we ask authors to acknowledge the assistance of individual members , and the Gallipoli Association itself in their works. Inclusion of our URL would also be appreciated. After all, we can assist in the creation of even more good books if this is done.

Subject matter
This forum is specifically designed to discuss matters relating to the Gallipoli/Dardanelles Campaign of the Great War. Clearly, on occasion, discussion necessarily drifts into related areas and this is permissible. Discussions and posts on modern-day politics or religion will not be tolerated in any area of the forum. Always post in the appropriate area for your topic and don't post similar messages in multiple areas. Messages posted that are irrelevant to the discussion and designed to distract or disrupt will be deleted without warning.

Any Forum member who posts SPAM or links to Pornographic or other such sites will automatically be deleted from the Forum membership and their email blocked. NO notification will be given.

Registration and personae
Multiple registration - that is, having more than one live membership - by an individual is not recommended. If second and subsequent registrations are detected the moderators may take action to close, suspend or otherwise render all but one registration inactive. Repeated attempts to register extra memberships, or the use of one membership to discuss in any way another existing membership opened by the same individual, will, once detected, lead to immediate closure of all membership accounts on the grounds of bringing the Forum into disrepute.
Registrations for membership of the Gallipoli Association Forum will only be accepted once a valid email address is shown by the applicant. Any registration without a valid email address MAY be deleted by the Forum Administrators.

Suspension or termination of membership
In the case where these rules are violated, your membership of the Forum may be terminated and access blocked; alternatively a members posts may be made subject to moderator sight before they appear in the forum. Should any of these actions become necessary, the member may be advised by email. Repeated transgression will result in your account being banned and your ISP being informed.

  1. Hi there fellow smokers.
    When are the politicians in england gonna legalise the herb, enough people smoke it. They could make money and we could start getting some even better smoke.
    It looks like another trip to amsterdam is in order untill that day arrives.
    Nobody sells better cannabis than the greenhouse coffe shop in amsterdam, to anyone going soon you have to go there and try their award winning super silver haze it fucking rocks.

    Speak to you all soon and remember in a bong or in a spliff its all the fucking same.
  2. From what I've read from NORML, the weed is legalized in the UK. Partial decriminalization, at least. It's cut London street crime rates in half!
  3. I can't remember the exact weight, but cops can't pull you unless you have a big stash. They just take it offa you and send you away.
    They can't do anything if you're stoned either, cos it doesn't really mean you have anything... :p
  4. It will never be legal in the UK, because the government cannot effectively raise taxes from the sales! Yes they could from coffee style shops, but think about all us home growers! Imagine declaring on your tax form how much dope you've grown in the last tax year! Accountants would have a hell of a time balancing that!
  5. they would not tax you on what you grow at home, think about it they dont tax home brewed beer or wine. they could only tax it through coffe shop style shops.

  6. They can always tax the shit out of growing supplies and force home growers to get a special permit each year.

    All the police who will get laid off from the lack of drug crimes can go to work for the Tax service and continue to raid people that don't have the growers license.

    Never underestimate the power of a government to find a way to tax you!

  7. LOL
    Nothing would surprise!

  8. I remember reading in the news that it was along the lines of 3 grams. Trouble is tho - I think they went ahead and made the dealing laws harsher. Anyone know if all over England its partial decriminalized? (I heard it was just in Brixton)

Default Soviet Nuclear Storage in Poland

Came across this interesting article from the journal Antiquity that has some pretty neat maps of 1970s-1990s Soviet nuclear warhead storage facilities in Poland.

Another journal article talking about the program for disbursing nuclear weapons to the Polish People's Army in event of war from these storage sites.

'choose folders' from android saved view

In the android client’s Unread view, you can long-press a feed and select “choose folders”, among other options. You can’t do that from Saved view. Most of the options don’t make sense in Saved view, but this one would be very useful.

At the moment, the Saved “feed” can’t be moved into other folders, it is a somewhat special folder in its own right that contains the list of saved story tags. There are some improvements coming to the app’s support for the save/tagging system, but I’m not certain even the web UI supports moving the Saved Stories meta-folder into other folders.

No, I’m not talking about the full starred stories list like the one at https://newsblur.com/saved – why would I want to move that into a folder? That wouldn’t make any sense.

Open the app. You see a list of feeds (like the taskbar in the web UI) which has 4 views: all, unread, focus, saved. You can manipulate feeds by long-tapping them from All or Unread, but not from Saved.

Ah, gotcha. Yeah, at the moment, switching into Saved mode in the app just offers the basic ability to filter for saved stories by feed and almost puts things into a read-only mode. In order to manipulate feeds, you’ll need to switch back to one of the other 3 modes (All, Unread, Focus) for now. Will definitely look into unlocking more per-feed functions when we build the system to allow more manipulation of things like tags and subscriptions when in Saved mode.

Additional IP's

The network card will always remain 100 Mb/s regardless of the number of ips.

21-05-2009, 14:39
I think I know the answer to this question already, but I'll ask anyway.

I've got an RPS II server with 1 failover IP. Now I'm aware that its a 100MB network card, however if I get another IP, will that be 2 x 100MB or will it just be 2 IP's sharing the 1 physical card - therefore still a 100MB connection regardless of number of ip's.

I suspect the later, but just thought I'd double check

Skyrim Mod - Skooma Bear - Definitive Edition

Post by Arron Dominion » Sat Dec 06, 2014 12:08 am

So I can obsess sometimes if I have an idea about a mod, or changes to one I have already done. Skooma Bear falls into the latter category. When FreeFrag Network existed, I collaborated with one of their members to create a Skooma Bear, a bear addicted to moon sugar, and the idea was based off of the cocaine bear meme. Since most of my work since then has been more lore-friendly and serious, I decided to revamp the mod, while keeping the Skooma Bear follower's personality and the original quest.

Here is the trailer I created in Windows Movie Maker for it:

In this version of the mod, I added an additional quest to explore the origins of Sniffs, the Skooma Bear follower. In addition, I created (and voiced) an high-elf mage follower from the College of Winterhold named Faidalf, and a Khajiit (won't spoil what roll, and is also voiced but that is poorer than Faidalf's) mage. Two books have been added, the first one for Sniffs' origin, and the second for an unmarked quest involving Faidalf and the player when the player is the Arch-Mage.

My original goal with the mod was to create a follower outside of the follower framework, so you can still use your favorite follower. Speaking technically, I reverse engineered the logic Bethesda created for Marriage Spouses and turned that script into a follower script, but details. In this version, I reworked the system to integrate many more locations for Sniffs, reflect the current DLC for the game, and allow for players to have Sniffs remember their favorite house/inn for Sniffs to go back to later on (default location is Bannered Mare if you do not set a location).

What is the focus of NBA Live 15? (Fansided)

Talk about NBA Live 15 here.

What is the focus of NBA Live 15? (Fansided)

Postby 22cedric on Wed Jul 23, 2014 12:23 am

What is the focus of NBA Live 15? (Fansided)

The NBA Live franchise from EA Sports was a series that, after four years away from the public, made a not-so-triumphant return to the spotlight with NBA Live 14 on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One.

The game faced poor-to-mediocre reviews across the board, and was even ridiculed by fans on social media for not only playing like a title that wasn’t even good enough to be on the last generation of consoles, but looking like one too. The team at EA Sports heard all of this, and has been working hard ever since to make sure that NBA Live 15 is nothing like its predecessor.

“Here’s the reality of it,” executive producer Sean O’Brien said. “The game wasn’t good enough [when we launched].”

The team then decided to put out graphical and gameplay updates throughout the year to show fans that they are indeed working to making the series a contender in the basketball video game market.

But just what is the focus of NBA Live 15 after laying out the basic foundation with NBA Live 14? O’Brien says that this year is heavily focused on making sure the game looks, feels and plays like a true next-gen basketball experience.

“Our priorities [this year] center really around visuals, gameplay and onboarding,” O’Brien said. “We’re going to blow people away with where it was visually and what it looks like visually for 15. So, I’m extremely excited about doing that. And also our progress within gameplay.”

“Moving forward, we’ve got great plans to enhance and improve the depth modes of our game; the experiences of dynasty and rising star as well as others joining the fold.”

Of course, people also want to know how the main modes of the game will change from last year. And while O’Brien wouldn’t give too much away in terms of what changes are coming to the mode, he did state that the improvements won’t be as drastic as some might expect.

“The reality is that your rising star, your dynasty, your online or your ultimate team experience is heavily influenced by how the game plays and what it looks like,” he said. “So, for us, our focus is around creating a great playing five-on-five game, and having it look amazing.”

The team really wanted to focus on how the game looked, felt and how easy it was to learn. This, O’Brien says, was a direct result of feedback from the players.

In terms of a learning curve, O’Brien admits that NBA Live 14 shipped with a very poor effort to teach new players how to play. EA Sports expected most to be able to pick up and play immediately, and that just wasn’t the case. It took until later updates for a practice arena to finally be added to the game.

“The challenge we have with onboarding is that there are a lot of people who haven’t played live ever or in recent years,” he said. “We need to make sure people can learn how to play the game right away. What we did with 14 was we did a terrible job of actually onboarding you and teaching you how to play.”

EA Sports wanted a game that truly looked and felt like a next-gen basketball game. While not ignoring the other aspects of the game, O’Brien said that the main focus was on the aforementioned visuals, gameplay and onboarding features. However, he did leave fans with a teaser of what’s to come in the future.

“Moving forward, we’ve got great plans to enhance and improve the depth modes of our game; the experiences of dynasty and rising star as well as others joining the fold,” he said.

Postby Andrew on Wed Jul 23, 2014 11:40 am

The focus is understandable, and getting the five-on-five experience right is obviously paramount. Visuals are naturally a big thing with a new generation of consoles, and better onboarding certainly won't go astray. So that all sounds good.

It is a bit disappointing to hear that game modes won't be receiving a lot of attention, but hopefully it'll still be sufficient; hopefully. a few basics that were missing in NBA Live 14 will be added, and a couple of enhancements will make the cut. It is good to hear that there are some big plans in place for the future. If all goes well, perhaps we'll see that stuff next year.

WATCH LIVE: Attorney General William Barr discusses upcoming release of Mueller report

Man wants sidewalks installed after friend is hit by a car

This is an archived article and the information in the article may be outdated. Please look at the time stamp on the story to see when it was last updated.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind., (March 16, 2016) - An Indianapolis man is hoping to gain support for sidewalks on the city’s east side.

Timmie Smith says his good friend Clifford Hill was hit near 21st Street and North Franklin Road Sunday night.

He was taken to the hospital with severe head injuries.

Smith is concerned because there are no sidewalks in the area more people could get seriously hurt.

He’s organizing a petition to present to the city.

“Your whole body almost has to be reflective over here because somebody will sideswipe you as you can see that line is thin and is the only thing we have to walk down,” said Smith.

Volunteers at a food pantry on the corner also support sidewalks in the area.

The pantry sees 850 people walk through their doors every week, and many of them walk or ride bicycles.

The best way to report the need for sidewalks is to the Mayors Action Center  (MAC) at 327-4622 or through the app, RequestIndy.

This information reaches the DPW Engineering team.

Our engineering team uses this information to conduct a field evaluation and determine a list of topographic challenges located at the site that would need to be addressed to facilitate the installation of new sidewalks.

Some of the normal challenges we encounter are the lack of public right of way available to construct the sidewalk and the need for extensive drainage improvements (roadside ditches that need to be enclosed) to allow us to construct a sidewalk.

The existing locations with adequate public right of way and minimal drainage needs would be a higher priority.

Buying a home is a significant investment, and I will provide you with a wealth of information about your new home that will allow you to make a well-informed decision and to proceed with your purchase with peace of mind. The safety of you and your family in your new home is my number one priority.

Whether you are a first-time home buyer, a seasoned veteran, or looking to buy that perfect getaway cabin or home, let my many years of experience in all facets of the construction industry go to work for you. I am a full-time Master Certified Home Inspector, not a person with some experience in one area who holds a Home Inspector License. This is what I do, and that commitment to excellence shows in each and every home inspection I perform.

The Home Inspection by the Right Home Inspector in Menasha WI

A general home inspection is a non-invasive, visual examination of the accessible areas of a residential property. I will help to identify defects within specific systems and components defined by home inspection standards that are both observed and deemed material by your Menasha home inspector. The scope of work may be modified by the Client and Inspector prior to the inspection process.

The general home inspection performed by your Menasha home inspector is based on the observations made on the date of the inspection, and does not predict future conditions. The general home inspection will not reveal every issue that exists or ever could exist, but only those material defects observed on the date of the home inspection. A home inspection report will be generated by our home inspector describing your home inspection along with photos and itemized areas inspected during the home inspection. Almost no home is going to be perfect (even new or recently built construction), so I will normally find some issues needing attention, or items the buyer and seller should be made aware of. These items don't always mean lots of money, just items needing discussed. Call John, the home inspector in Menasha, when you are ready for your home inspection.

Matt Taibbi on Republican Weaklings

Matt TaibbiIf this isn’t the end for the Republican Party, it’ll be a shame. They dominated American political life for 50 years and were never anything but monsters. They bred in their voters the incredible attitude that Republicans were the only people within our borders who raised children, loved their country, died in battle or paid taxes. They even sullied the word “American” by insisting they were the only real ones. They preferred Lubbock to Paris, and their idea of an intellectual was Newt Gingrich. Their leaders, from Ralph Reed to Bill Frist to Tom DeLay to Rick Santorum to Romney and Ryan, were an interminable assembly line of shrieking, witch-hunting celibates, all with the same haircut — the kind of people who thought Iran-Contra was nothing, but would grind the affairs of state to a halt over a blow job or Terri Schiavo’s feeding tube.

A century ago, the small-town American was Gary Cooper: tough, silent, upright and confident. The modern Republican Party changed that person into a haranguing neurotic who couldn’t make it through a dinner without quizzing you about your politics. They destroyed the American character. No hell is hot enough for them. And when Trump came along, they rolled over like the weaklings they’ve always been, bowing more or less instantly to his parodic show of strength.

—Matt Taibbi
RIP, GOP: How Trump Is Killing the Republican Party

Georgia Senator Johnny Isakson and Convenient Science

Johnny IsaksonGeorgia Senator Johnny Isakson wants to do something about the Zika virus. Because scientists have said that it is very dangerous. But like a lot of people, Johnny Isakson only thinks science is important when it doesn’t get in the way of his dogma. A lot of those convenient science believers are in my family.

My mother’s side of the family was made up of a bunch of conservative Christians. In fact, by family lore, my aunt gave Oral Roberts $5,000 or more. The reason we believe this is because she received a hand written note from him. But it was one of those things where a Christian is going through a bad time and think if they can just give a big pile of cash to “God,” then all their problems will work out. But they were definitely more interested in talking about abortion than feeding the poor. But the thing they most liked to talk about was the evils of science — evolution specifically.

My parents were both the black sheep of their families, so I didn’t have to worry about this. My parents believed in science. But whenever we would visit this part of the family, I would hear them scoff at the idea of evolution. It’s was curious, because in many ways they knew more about it than most people. They could give you reasons for why carbon-14 dating didn’t work and holes in the fossil record and stuff like that. It was just because they listened to people like John Morris Pendleton. Normal people just assume that scientists know what they are doing and don’t get into the weeds.

Science Is Often Inconvenient

When I would listen to the arguments made against evolution, I would get angry. To me, even as a teenager, science was something you either accepted or you didn’t. It wasn’t a la carte — something you could accept when it was convenient and reject when it wasn’t. That’s not the way that science works.

I even remember a conversation that I had when one of my physics professors when I was in college. I was still struggling with quantum mechanics — not in a scientific way, but in a philosophical way. I told him that I just didn’t like the fact that reality seemed to not be deterministic. He told me he agreed with me. It sucks that the universe is not the way that we want it to be.

Johnny Isakson wants more money to fight the Zika virus since the CDC “convinced him that Zika could be more dangerous for the US than Ebola.” I wondered if Senator Isakson was also as accepting of the scientific consensus on global warming.

But our job is to uncover the universe, not to define it. My professor, Joe Tenn, didn’t say that last part because he didn’t need to. It was enough that he shared my discomfiture. Of course, we weren’t alone. Einstein felt the same way, and that’s what his famous line is all about, “God does not play dice!”

What bugged me about this side of the family is how they picked and chose what science they were going to believe. They were more than willing to take the good things that science gave them: air conditioning, automobiles, MRIs. But they weren’t willing to take the science that demanded anything from them. They didn’t believe evolution, even though it being wrong would have ripple effects throughout all of science. And this offends me.

In all areas of science, they just accept without thinking much about it. But when their pastor tells them that this or that bit of science is not true because it appears to disagree with their religious dogma, they are suddenly experts on science. It’s offensive to actual scientists — and to the entire civilization that has been built on science.

Of course, it isn’t just religious people who do this. On many occasions, I’ve had conservatives tell me that global warming is a hoax. They try to set me straight. They get their information from Fox News and Breitbart. And that makes them more qualified than I am with my ten years of study the subject as a graduate student and then physics professor. But again, these same people accept all the other aspects of science that don’t get in the way of their preferred policy positions.

Johnny Isakson Thinks Science Is Useful This Time

And that brings us back to our good friend Georgia Senator Johnny Isakson. On Thursday, I heard a story on NPR, Southern Lawmakers Lead Fight Over Funding To Combat Zika Virus. In it, I learned that Johnny Isakson wants more money to fight the Zika virus since the “Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in Atlanta convinced him that Zika could be more dangerous for the US than Ebol.” I wondered if Senator Isakson was also as accepting of the scientific consensus on global warming.

Well, Johnny Isakson is not a Stage I Global Warming Denier. He’s at Stage II: there is global warming, but humans aren’t the cause! And the truth is in 2015 (when he cast his vote to this effect), that’s the most intense level of global warming denial. The only people who say it isn’t happening at all are those who claim there is a conspiracy.

What I wonder is why it is that Johnny Isakson is willing to believe the scientists at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. We know far more about radiative forcing of the atmosphere than we do about the spread of the Zika virus. But it’s the same thing as with my conservative Christian family members: it doesn’t require that he do any intellectual work and counter his dogma to accept science when it comes to Zika. But when it comes to global warming any other science that isn’t convenient, well, that’s a whole different thing.

Creation is my new adventure

March 20, 2019

Meanwhile I love going to fabric stores.  And when I walk into some of myfavourite fabric stores, I am swamped with choices. Since I want them all, it is pure of loving what I do.  While my time spent at sewing is where I talk to fabrics and threads.  And my hands keep doing the movements, north and south, east and west.

I am creating something tangible and solid that won’t need to be recast.  Everything appears to be see-through and enthusiastic and I don’t feel uncertain or lack of confidence or discerning opinion.  I can only see the needle filling the fabric with threads and sooner a creative oeuvre surfaces.And I am happy, jubilant and at peace with the finished aspect of my new evolution.  I like the smell of fabrics and it wrap my thoughts with excitement, achievement and assurance. Since that some of the bulk of fabrics I purchase gets to linger in the cupboard in my sewing room and when I go back to it after weeks or months, a creative action is very imminent and I enjoy every minute of the pleasure of mending something beautiful. I take the delight in cutting and give them a new life. And there are remnants that I keep in a basket for a very long time, when I take the toll to clear them, they don’t get thrown away, but they get made into some pretty pieces that I give as gifts for Christmas or birthdays.

I spent some of my teenage years learning to sew and embroidering. I grabbed some imperceptible bits of somebody else who taught me all about it, whether she had full or limited knowledge of them, but it was worth it how and what she delivered to me.  Regardless of my sagacity or faux pas I travelled through have come to an end.My youthful years were a transient season only.  And after all, entirely in an unalike how-do-you-do is how to express the love of fabric and sewing to the inexperienced.  It is happiness in my heart, tranquility in my mind and achievement in my hands.  And for some who still wouldn’t understand, it is like having some colouring books and some coloured pencils. And well, the nature of my work will not fade when the sun set but they will dazzle in both the sunshine and moonlight.  And the depiction that I frame with my two hands may dwell longer than I do.Today is the first day of Spring 2019.  Since the media is full of “no good news”… I am sharing with you my beautiful crafts because life is great with beautiful things and together we will look at the bright side of home-made creations. It’s been some busy days in the small corner of my world.  It means that everything winter will slowly being put away and most probably will be forgotten for some months. So… as we have finally come to the end of winter, I shall leave you with some of my traditional spring creations that I have prepared especially for you to give you a hints of what is enfolding over here at mine. I am busy cutting all the fabrics that have spring and summer designs to prepare for the next seasonal activities that are quickly approaching. Well Ladies and Gentlemen I hope you have enjoyed reading my long script in the passage of sewing.    I will be back in a couple of days.  I will love you and leave you!  Cheerio!

20 Years Of Friends – Moments In Time #1

0 Flares 0 Flares ×

Reflections by Friends co-founder Mark Turgesen on one unforgettable evening in our 20 year history… with more to come!

“Phnom Penh, Cambodia, August 4th, 1995 – Man Phally and the Mith Samlanh outreach team along with Mia Wood, a young aspiring artist, sprawled white rectangular sheets along the crumbling and decrepit riverside promenade. Just as a brilliant half moon began to rise over the Mekong river, an experimental project was unfolding. With only candles to light the way, this night 15 street children would, perhaps for the first time, see themselves expressed in rainbow colors and bold outlines.

Together they traced each other, taking turns laying flat on white canvasses while their street companions would meticulously draw lines around them. The smiles and giggles as each child lay looking up at the stars above powered an atmosphere of friendship between Phally and his team and the children they work with.

peinture outreach premniere bannieres

Those first banners being created!

As more and more vibrancy of the children’s work came to life, more and more people stopped to see what was causing such fanfare in the middle of the night. I was aware Mr. Christopher Warren, the US Secretary of State was visiting the city at the time, but I wasn’t aware that he would just be around the corner from us that night. By the time most children had expressed grandiose colors schemes of their own imagination, Mr. Warren’s entourage was leaving the Grand Palace heading back to Cambodiana hotel. We found ourselves in the company of Mr. Warren as he drove by, poking his head out in curiosity of what probably appeared bafflingly illuminating and spectacular in such a dark and desperate city. I couldn’t help but laugh at his comical look of amusement with subtle hints of confusion.

By the time Mr. Warren’s trail of sirens and loaded weapons had disappeared it was clear the children were completely absorbed in their art project. Not one seemed distracted by the buzzing sounds of the outside world. What looked like a banner of solidarity, fifteen children transposed on cloth hung together along the roadside. Standing proud of what they created, the children began to explain their story to curious strangers. You could tell, perhaps at that moment, they arrived in a new space of seeing themselves in the most hopeful of light.”

Colorful banners created by the children adorned many of our centers.
