I’m standing up. I’m declaring I have a personality disorder. I also have general anxiety disorder and bipolar. I have some physical health problems too, but apparently they are less likely to make me a murderer, or so the recent article by Deborah Orr would have people believe. I refuse to link to it as I think the fewer people who read her offensive, spiteful words the better.

It has taken me a while after first reading her article to write this as I needed to step away from the computer, in the meantime the fantastic Louise Pennington has written ‘Ignoring the Obvious to Perpetuate Myths about Violence’  and I thank her for doing this so quickly.

Similarly to Louise I’m not sure where to start. Even after taking over an hour away to compose myself, my feelings have been triggered so deeply that it is impossible for me to address this in a calm, logical manner, however, I know I have to otherwise I’m playing right into the hands of Orr and her cronies.

I was first diagnosed as having a mental illness and began treatment when I was 17, however, I know that I have had it for much longer. I am approaching my 29th birthday and I can say with no shadow of a doubt that I have never been violent to another being. I apologise and feel deep regret when I end up killing mosquitos who are biting me, I used force but not violence when I was being sexually assaulted, I was vegetarian for over five years as I thought the animals had more of a right to life than I did, I went fencing and was told I would be a great fencer if only I was a bit more aggressive but I was terrified of hurting my opponent. The only person I have ever attacked is myself.

So with nearly 12 years of meeting people with mental illnesses under my belt I can honestly say that I have only ever met one man who had a mental illness and was violent and have met a lot more men who aren’t mentally ill that are violent.

Yes, the averages may say that there are fewer people with mental illnesses than those without so I am bound to have met more violent men without a mental health issue but this has not been representative of my life. As it has dominated my life a lot of people I socialise with have, or have had, experience of mental illness.

I have only met one violent woman. She was violent due to acts of violence perpertrated against her. She knew it was wrong but didn’t know how else to control what she felt as this was all she knew.

I’m not even sure it’s the article that bothers me so much as her continuation to defend her words on Twitter. I will not post the screen shots of what she said as they were actually so discriminatory and triggering that all the hard work I have put in to my recovery was wiped out, I can’t even revisit her feed myself. It’s not fair to share my feelings with you as I am dealing with them but really must thank the wonderful Twitter friends that I have as well as the amazing techniques I have been taught over the years for preventing me from going one step too far.

Orr ignores all statistics.

No one is saying all men commit violent crimes but the fact that more men than women commit violent crimes cannot be denied.

No one is saying people with mental illness don’t commit crimes but the fact is people with mental illness are more likely to be the victims of crime.

I’m sorry I’m not providing the stats but I am emotionally drained and can’t remember them off the top of my head, nor do I have the energy to look them up.

I understand people wanting to understand why people commit crimes, I feel the same. I really wonder why they do it, but people do not kill because they have a personality disorder.

Orr clearly shows her underlying bias as she keeps refering to TV dramas where women solve crimes. Maybe Orr needs to spend some time with the police to see that in fact there are female detectives! For too long have male detectives dominated our screens so it’s nice to see this finally being redressed. Women aren’t just the handy sidekick or used as bait for serial killers. In fact I think my godsisters who are both detectives would love to have a sit down with Orr and tell her a few home truths. Whatever Orr’s issues are with other females she really needs to address these in a more positive, productive way than victimising individuals with mental illnesses.

It is people like Orr who have made me fear telling the world about my mental health. Slowly I let people know about being depressed, then some of my anxiety issues and with the support of charities and the Twitter MH community I have shared my actual diagnosis. Today’s events made me regret all this and the temptation to just erase my life was overwhelming. But no, I don’t want anyone else to have to go through this. I am NOT a bad person. Orr, you don’t know me. You clearly don’t know anyone with a personality disorder, or if you do they have hidden it from you due to your disgusting prejudice (and you’d probably be surprised at just how lovely they are).

Audemars Piguet QE II Cup day opened with a surprise of the highest order after which it was almost an anticlimax as Blazing Speed upstaged some of the biggest names in the sport to give Tony Cruz his maiden win in the race and Neil Callan his biggest success in racing.

The trip to Dubai took plenty out of Designs On Rome. But now he has time to recover and we'll have him right for the Champions & Chater Cup

Reigning champion jockey Zac Purton had to pull out of one of Hong Kong's biggest race days when kidney stones struck in the early hours of Sunday and he was in the operating theatre when the HK$20 million international was run, with various riders taking his mounts and Tommy Berry landing a win on one of them.

But that didn't happen in the main event, where jockey Callan claimed his biggest win and Blazing Speed's trainer, Tony Cruz, won it for the first time on the ground after winning the race twice as a jockey when the event was in its infancy more than 30 years ago.

And the win in one of Hong Kong's most prestigious and biggest money races was enough to unite Blazing Speed's ownership syndicate, which has been involved in a very public legal spat between members over the prize money earnings of the horse.

"It's great - today everyone is happy," said Cruz.

Neil Callan and Blazing Speed work up the crowd.

Horse of the Year Designs On Rome finished fourth as part of a competitive line across the track seeking the runner-up position, and trainer John Moore said the curse of Dubai had struck again.

"He ran very well but Joao Moreira just said he didn't feel at his very best," Moore said. "The trip to Dubai took plenty out of him. But now he has time to recover and we'll have him right for the Champions & Chater Cup."

French jockey Stephane Pasquier made just his second trip to Sha Tin, and his first for more than seven years, to ride Smoking Sun in the Cup.

Smoking Sun had been difficult all week and proved just as uncooperative in the race but the day wasn't a total loss for Pasquier who found his way home on Dundonnell in the Group Two Sprint Cup in a one-two finish for trainer Richard Gibson.

Tony Cruz celebrates after winning his first QE II Cup as a trainer.

"It's my first quinella in a Group race here - Gold-Fun didn't let anyone down and Dundonnell has topped off a great season," Gibson said. "I'm reluctant to make plans in the heat of the moment, but both would be worthy of running at Royal Ascot."

Jockey Club chief executive, Winfried Engelbrecht-Bresges bemoaned some unfortunate business events that left betting turnover flat but was otherwise thrilled with the day, one more in a long partnership with Audemars  Piguet which must now be almost a record for a sponsored race anywhere.

"It was an exciting day even before the QE II Cup, with our champion jockey scratched this morning, the Jockey Challenge cancelled and then we returned $75 million in bets for scratchings," said Engelbrecht-Bresges. "But in all seriousness this was a fantastic race that only enhanced the standing of the QE II Cup as one of the world's top 20 races. The attendance was up, the atmosphere was fantastic and now we look forward to the Champions Mile and the return of Able Friend next week."

Watch: Rosamund Pike in 'The Devil You Know' trailer

One of the independent and low budget films The Devil You Know, which was made back in 2007 that Rosamund Pike (as older Zoe) co-starred with Lena Olin (as Zoe's mother Katherine) and The Hunger Games and recent Oscar winner Jennifer Lawrence (as younger Zoe) is finally being released online on July 9th through Amazon, iTunes, Vudu, Playstation, and XBox. Interesting that
both Rosamund and Jennifer Lawrence were in the same movie, playing the same character named Zoe (Pike - older and Lawrence - younger), and it took 6 years for this movie to be released! I guess better late than never.

Here are more info. about this movie...plus see the poster above and watch the trailer below...

AVAILABLE July 9, 2013 on Amazon, iTunes, Vudu, Playstation, and XBox.
Amazon: http://amzn.to/10xUV5v
iTunes: http://bit.ly/14Kgejm

A film by James Oakley A sexy, stylish, and suspenseful thriller, DEVIL YOU KNOW stars Lena Olin as Kathryn Vale, a reclusive ex-movie star who attempts to make a career comeback when she's threatened by an anonymous blackmailer.

Rosamund Pike (An Education, Pride & Prejudice) stars as Kathryn's jealous daughter, Zoe. Academy Award-winning actress Jennifer Lawrence -- in one of her first screen appearances -- plays the role of teenage Zoe in the film's flashbacks while Dean Winters (Law & Order SVU, HBO's Oz, 30 Rock) stars as Olin's unfaithful husband and Molly Price (Law & Order, Third Watch) is her duplicitous assistant.

Home » Router-config » Port forwarding: ssh, Remote Desktop and afp

Port forwarding: ssh, Remote Desktop and afp

Until yesterday, It was very complicated for me to understand “what’s port forwarding? and how to setup a router to accept the incoming connections for ssh, ARD and afp”

Let me explain you my understanding here,

IP addres
there are two types of IP address
1. Static IP – permanent IP address (usually you have to pay for the provider)
2. Dynamic IP – IP changes every time you restart router (most usual one)

In general, every computer has two IP address, one is internal (private) another is external (public). Only your router knows your internal IP address and the computers that are connected to your router can communicate with your computer. In case any computer out side of your router wants to communicate your computer then it can approach you only via external IP address. For instance if you type ‘http://www.whatsmyip.org’ in your web browser then it will reveal your external ip.

So whom ever has Dynamic IP address, they must have different internal (ex: and external IP (ex: address. However if you have a static IP address then both of them are same.

What’s the problem now? Most of the routers usually does not allow the external request to communicate the local computer via port number 22 (default ssh port) and also few other ports like 548 (afp). If you want to ssh your computer from outside then it is a problem.

Here comes port forwarding to solve this problem above. It is nothing but you will say to your router “hey forward the external port 22 request to my computer”. Now the internal IP address plays the important role. If your router connected to many computers then make sure that every computers has their unique internal IP address, if not then just change it to any.

1. Open your router configuration page in a web browser by entering, upon requesting user name and pass, file with admin and admin. I hope most of the router has the same user name and pass, if you can’t login successfully then you must contact the manufacture.

2. Depends on router you can easily find the port forwarding page, more interestingly there’s an website which explains the port forwarding for several routers. If you are lucky then you can find your router configuration in their webiste; http://portforward.com/.

3. Here I’ll explain you the port forward configuration for SIEMENS SL2-141-I ADSL WLAN Router.

4. Open web browser, type in and hit enter.

5. Now the browser should ask you the user name and password. Don’t copy and paste the following username and password, it doesn’t work

username : alice@13184
passwort : hnto$mgmt@lice

3. Click on Advanced on the top of the page followed by Virtual server on the left side of the page.

4. Click on Add, choose User defined. Enter the name of the program into the User defined box. It doesn’t really matter what you put into this box, but something that will remind you why these ports are being forwarded would be a good idea. Select ALL from the From Internet Host IP Address drop down box. Enter the ip address to forward these ports to into the Forward to Internal Host IP Address box. If you are forwarding ports so you can run a program on your computer, you should enter your computer’s ip address into that box. Use the Protocol drop down box to select the protocol type of the ports you are forwarding. If you are forwarding a single port, enter that port number into the External Port Start, External Port End, Internal Port Start and Internal Port End boxes. If you are forwarding a range of ports, enter the lowest number of the range into the External Port Start and Internal Port Start boxes. Then enter the highest number of the range into the External Port End and Internal Port End boxes. When you are finished, click the Apply button.

Here’s the screen shot of my settings.

that’s all, hope it is your for you.

Does Anxiety Accelerate Aging?Phobic anxiety or fear-related anxiety attacks are relatively common among middle-aged women. A new study suggests the condition may be associated with premature aging.

Researchers at Brigham and Women’s Hospital (BWH) discovered the condition is associated with shorter telomeres in middle-aged and older women — a biochemical status that implies cellular aging.

Telomeres are DNA-protein complexes at the ends of chromosomes. They protect chromosomes from deteriorating and guard the genetic information at the ends of chromosomes during cell division.

Scientists believe telomeres are markers of biological or cellular aging as shortened telomeres have been linked to increased risk of cancers, heart disease, dementia and mortality.

In the large, cross-sectional study, researchers obtained blood samples from 5,243 women, age 42 to 69 years, who were participants in the Nurses’ Health Study.

Telomere length was then analyzed as well as the participants’ concurrent self-reports regarding phobic symptoms determined by assessment with a validated questionnaire.

Investigators determined having a high phobic anxiety level was associated with significantly shorter telomere lengths.

Moreover, telomere lengths for women who were highly phobic were similar to what was seen in women six years older.

“Many people wonder about whether — and how — stress can make us age faster,” said Olivia Okereke, MD, MS, BWH Department of Psychiatry, study author.

“So, this study is notable for showing a connection between a common form of psychological stress — phobic anxiety — and a plausible mechanism for premature aging. However, this type of study design cannot prove cause-and-effect or which problem came first — the anxiety or shorter telomeres.”

The findings pave the way for further prospective investigations relating anxiety to telomere length change.

The study is published online in the journal PLoS ONE.

Flu and reading

I had the flu last week. As Grumpy Cat would say – It was awful. Three days in bed not moving. There’s no TV in the bedroom, but I probably wouldn’t have watched it anyway – I didn’t have the patience; the only kind of entertainment I wanted (on the third day; too wiped out sleeping on days 1 and 2 for anything) was one where when I got tired/fed-up I could just close my eyes, sleep for a bit and not have missed anything or need to rewind. God bless books.

Anyway, when contemplating what to read my Kindle* was the best choice, no faffing about with any of that turning pages nonsense which I was far too sick for.

This reminded me of a short-lived boyfriend (um, the relationship was shortlived, hopefully he is still alive today. He was also short though) in my first year at University. Whilst reading together one day we came up with a brilliant idea – the lazyman book. Basically, being lazy students, it seemed to us to be an extreme irritant to have to, once you had yourself all nicely positioned, lying down in bed with the book open so you could see one page, once you had read that page, you would then have to disturb yourself and reposition the book (usually by rolling yourself over) to read the next page.
An ingenious solution was to have books printed where all the pages (not just the odd ones) were on the right hand-side of the book, so after finishing page one, turn over and lo and behold page 2 is instantly visible without you having to turn over in bed or reposition the book. Once you were half way through, you would have to turn once and continue down the left hand side of the book until the book was complete.
We envisaged going into book stores where you could choose either a standard edition or our patented lazyman edition (presumably depending on how interesting the book was).
However, the digital age and e-readers have rendered our invention that, in typical student fashion we discussed and never did anything about, obsolete, as your e-reader also displays all pages on one side without having to roll over – not even at the half-way point.

(It says a lot about the state of our brief relationship that rather than doing student-y things like drinking and um, other student-like activities, we spent our brief time together discussing the laziest way to read books).

*other e-readers are available

Twenty-four valves of fossil Hiatella arctica were analyzed to determine if amino acid ratios varied from one region of a shell to another. The ratio of D-alloisoleucine/L-isoleucine, routinely used as a stratigraphic correlation tool and an indicator of relative age, did not vary significantly between five anatomically different shell parts in Hiatella arctica. Sampling only the hinge or central part of all valves, however, resulted in less variation about the average value. Analyses of only this part of the shell should improve the resolution of stratigraphic units by amino acid geochronology. The absolute concentrations of aspartic acid, threonine, serine, glutamic acid, glycine, alanine, valine, alloisoleucine, isoleucine, and leucine (in picomoles/milligram of shell) are significantly higher in the hinge and central part of the shell, whereas the outer growth edge appears to have lower levels of amino acids. This is true in both the FREE and TOTAL hydrolysate fractions. The reasons are not clear; however, the high value may be caused by a thin, protein-rich inner layer lining the valve out to the pallial line and/or differences in the proportion of inorganic carbonate to protein produced in different areas during shell growth. Alternatively, it may suggest leaching of the thinner, more vulnerable part of the shell growth edge.

A Month In Review: July 2016

Month In Review - Jul. 2016

This is very late because we were away camping, but here we go! I didn’t do one of these for June since not much happened so a couple of things from then will be included here.

I have Summer Holidays now! Which is nice. I took part in Camp NaNoWriMo this year with one of my friends, which was fun. I got a lot of planning for Blue Team done. I also got headshots done of the main cast. Hopefully I’ll be doing an updated height chart soon.

I also got Clip Studio Paint! It’s amazing.

This slideshow requires JavaScript.

Things I Watched

things watched jul 2016

I watched Love Live! School Icol Project because my sister said to and the spin-off was coming out soon. It made me way more emotional than I thought it would.

Then I started watching said spin-off/sequel, Love Live! Sunshine! which is more or less the same premise but set in a small seaside town instead of Tokyo. The characters are lovely so far. I think my favourite is Yoshiko/Yohane, she’s hilarious.

We bought Kung Fu Panda 3 and watched that with our cousin. It was a lot of fun, but the second film is still my favourite.

Lastly I watched Voltron: Legendary Defender because literally everyone on the internet abruptly became obsessed with it. I’m not into giant-mechas-in-space myself, but it was still very enjoyable. The characters and plot are great and it gives me lots of feelings, which makes an automatic winner for me. It’s also surprisingly funny.

Behold, the Universe’s last hope. Just, go watch this show already.

Things I Read

things read July 2016

I didn’t get many books read this month. However I did manage to read the entire Bleach manga within a few weeks, because I’m insane. It’s very addictive (as you can probably tell), and pretty dang good. I do think there are too many fights? Like I know it’s a shonen so fights are pretty much a given but we end up having fights between random secondary characters we’ve only known for a few chapters and jump between like ten fights at a time, so it gets a little tedious. Still, there were a lot of good characters and it did succeed in making me cry several times, so it still qualifies as a good manga I’d love to watch the anime for.

I also read Twinepathy, which I started reading as it was serialized on the internet and decided to buy so I could read the finished thing. It was great! There were a lot of creative super powers, which is one of my soft spots so I was bound to like it. Also I need Blaze’s backstory immediately, please and thank you. Looks like the second book’s going to be centered more around him so hopefully I won’t have to wait too long.

On the Blog

I did character interviews with both Adelle and Elliot over the last two months, as well as doing Beautiful People with Cass.

Elsewhere on the Internet

Steven Universe is back with the Summer of Steven, new episodes every weekday for four weeks! Some serious stuff went down, including new fusions, backstory, and friendships, as well as boatloads of angst. It’s wonderful.

My Little Pony also returned, though I haven’t had time to watch the new episodes yet.

Love Live Sunshine started, and like I said it’s been lovely so far.

San Diego Comic Con was a thing, so lots of fandoms got new information, including a confirmed second season for Voltron and teases for new characters, kwamis, and episode plots for Miraculous Ladybug

Moana got several new trailers and I’m super excited for it!

Next Month

I’ll be going to Sweden towards the end of the month with two of my siblings! Which will be exciting.

There’s also the Olympics, so that’s fun.

So that’s what I’ve been up to the last couple of months. Have you seen or read any of the things I did this month? Anything you think I should try? Planning anything fun next month? I hope you all have a fantastic Summer!

Getting Lost in the Stories We Spin

Pafamily reconciliationrashat Vayeishev Sibling Rivalry

Genesis – it’s all about family dynamics

Links and rifts make their way through the generations

Children struggle or thrive – because of or in spite of …

Everyone competes for love

“Israel loved Joseph more than all of his sons…” (Genesis 37:3).

Perhaps Ecclesiastes is right that “there is nothing new under the sun (1:9)

We become lost in the stories we spin

And, though they do not serve us well,

They follow us into our adult lives.

Departing this world, our parents bequeath unfinished “family business”

Leaving us to…

Reconcile with our siblings

Repair rifts

Build or rebuild trust

Make peace.

In truth, this is avodat ha-kodesh –sacred family work.

“[Joseph’s] brothers saw that their father loved him more than all his brothers so they hated him…”

A hate so deep that “they could not speak with him peacefully” (37:3-4).

Peace is built out of the rubble of past deeds

Not so dissimilar to Jacob and Esau’s story

Which began with guilt and despair

And ended with a “good enough” peace.

Paradigms for reconciliation

Reveal that even estranged siblings can live in relationship to one another.

Facing a choice point –

Choosing to forgive yourself and the other

Infuse love into the heart of the pain

Imperfect peace ends exile

Invites exploration

Discovering spiritual, emotional and ethical resources

Fill the cracks of what is broken,

Build something – anything – from the remains.

Joseph’s dreams caused trouble with his brothers

And he desire to forgive saved his family

Choosing to travel toward a beacon of possibility

Frees us to live our lives with forgiveness, hope and love

Bivracha  – Sending blessings for peace,                                                           Reb Nina, Community Rabbi

How are You at Market-Timing?

John Bogle either loves or hates this game.

This game lets you try your hand at market-timing some of the world’s biggest stocks and indexes. After a few failed attempts at figuring out the interface (click the mouse to buy, hold to hold, release to sell), I managed to turn a profit, albeit trailing the stock and the S&P considerably.  With each turn, you get a new anonymous stock.  And the end of the game, the stock’s identity is revealed as are your fictitious gains or losses.

Think you can beat the S+P with your market-timing savvy?  It’s not likely, but give it shot.

Pneumothorax with apical bleb

Case contributed by Dr Jeremy Jones

Acute onset shortness of breath.

Patient Data

Age: 13
Gender: Female

Right simple pneumothorax.

Medically at the right apex, are a number of apical blebs.  The presumption is that one of these has ruptured resulting in a pneumothorax.

Case Discussion

Presentation with shortness of breath has an extremely wide differential.  In patients where a cause for breathlessness, it is important to think about whether there is an underlying pathology.

In this case, diagnosis of pnuemothorax is relatively simple, but the diagnosis of the underlying cause (ruptured apical bleb) is key to appropriate management.

Isokinetic strength qualities that differentiate rapid deceleration performance in male youth academy soccer players

Harper, Damian and Jordan, Alastair and Wilkie, Brett and Liefeith, Andreas and Metcalfe, James and Thomas, Aaron and Kiely, John (2016) Isokinetic strength qualities that differentiate rapid deceleration performance in male youth academy soccer players. In: 21st Annual Congress of the European College of Sports Science., 6-10 July 2016, Vienna, Austria. (Unpublished)

Text (Abstract)
ECSS Vienna Abstract - IKD and DEC.pdf - Presentation

Download (69kB) | Preview

Decelerating (DEC) is just as frequent as accelerating in contemporary soccer match play (Russell et al., 2014). Recent evidence suggests that lower body eccentric strength directly improves the ability of a player to produce and tolerate braking forces (Spiteri et al., 2014). The aim of the present study was to identify if measures of isokinetic strength can differentiate performance of a rapid DEC maneuver.

Nineteen (n=19) academy youth soccer players (age: 16.7 + 1yrs; height: 175 + 8.4cm ; body mass: 69.1+ 7.5kg; body fat: 9.5 + 3.9%) participated in the study. Tests included: isokinetic dynamometer (Cybex ΙΙ, Cybex International Inc., New York, USA) strength profiling of quadricep (Q) and hamstring (H) peak concentric (con) and eccentric (ecc) torque (both dominant [kicking leg] and non-dominant legs) assessed at slow (60°/s) and fast (180°/s) angular velocities. Functional H:Q ratios representative of knee flexion (Hcon:Qecc) and extension (Hecc:Qcon) was also calculated; 30m linear sprint time (with 5m, 10m and 20m splits) was recorded using a single beam timing system (Witty, Microgate, Italy) and rapid DEC quantified using time to stop (TTS) and distance to stop (DTS) determined
following a 20m maximal acceleration (within 5% threshold of best 20m linear sprint time) using video analysis (Dartfish ProSuite 2011, Fribourg, Switzerland) captured from a 50Hz video camera (Panasonic HDC-HS900, Japan).

10, 20 and 30m sprint times had significantly large correlations with fast con peak Q torque (dom, r=-0.624, -0.568, - 0.621 and non-dom, r=-0.513, -0.512, -0.509) with fast peak H torque comprising significant correlations in the dom leg (r= -0.773, -0.561, -0.761) with moderate to large correlations in the non-dom leg (r= -0.5, -0.468, -0.464). At slow velocity con peak H torque had moderate to large correlations with 10, 20 and 30m sprint times. No significant correlations were found for peak con strength in either Q or H for DEC performance (TTS and DTS). Slow velocity Ecc peak Q torque (dom, r= -0.503, nondom, r=-0.542) and time to peak torque (r=-0.465) was significantly correlated to DEC TTS. No significant correlations were found for fast ecc strength parameters in Q or H for either sprint or DEC performance. Sprint and DEC performance had no significant correlations.

The present study illustrates the need for specific strength qualities for attainment of high running velocities and rapid DEC performance. Specifically, players with superior sprint speed can produce high peak con forces in both Q and H at fast velocities. DEC seems to be a unique movement skill requiring specific ecc strength qualities. Interestingly, in
this study slow velocity ecc strength of the Q seems to be critical for production of braking forces and reducing the time spent DEC. Increased time spent DEC has been found to increase tissue damage and muscle soreness, subsequently affecting post match recovery kinetics (Young et al., 2012). In conclusion this study highlights the need for careful consideration to developing strength qualities needed for DEC alongside those more commonly known for sprinting and accelerating.

New Poll! With my Food Storage, I:

Another Thrive Cookbook Recipe Trial (& error!)

Well, it’s20121210_175737 been quite awhile since I posted an actual Thrive cookbook recipe challenge, so I thought it was time to get back into the test kitchen (which is actually my home kitchen, just with pictures & commentary).

For our upcoming HCS Co-op meeting (& my dinner), I decided to try out the Macaroni & Cheese recipe.  When I began this recipe, I fully expected that the final product would be somewhat close to boxed macaroni & cheese (we all know the brand I had in mind).

20121210_175855It started simple enough, I mean, this was not a hard recipe.  The only difference between boxed Mac & Cheese and this recipe was that I had to measure out my ingredients.  It called for 3 cups of Thrive Macaroni Noodles, 1 1/2 cups of prepared Thrive Instant Milk (which was super easy since I already had some made), 1/8 cup Thrive Butter Powder & 3/4 cup of Thrive Cheese Blend.

Starting out like any other Mac & Cheese, I boiled the noodles.  Easy enough.  As I was reading the recipe, I saw that it called for a cup and a half of milk.  My first thought was, that’s alot of milk.  Then I thought, they must know what they are doing, so in went the milk (from past experience20121210_182409 I should have known better, alas, I have no excuse).

After adding the cheese blend & butter powder to the noodles & milk, I had, well….Mac & Cheese Soup.  “Yuck” immediately sprang to mind.  Not willing to give up (I was hungry), I decided that adding more cheese blend powder might help.  It began to thicken after adding about another 1/2 cup of cheese blend powder but it was not enough to combat the soupy mixture.  A taste test quickly told me that adding even more cheese blend would be a mistake.

In order to salvage the meal (and actually eat dinner before 10 p.m.), I decided to add in some Thrive Cheddar Cheese and bake it at 425 for about 20 minutes.  20121210_184947It actually turned out pretty good but still way too buttery for my taste.
After overnight in the fridge, it turned out just like baked Mac & Cheese.  I received many compliments on it at the HCS Co-op meeting the next day, so I guess my recipe triage worked… either that or they were just being nice 🙂

The moral of this story is two fold: Don’t wait until an emergency to learn to cook with your food storage; you might not have the luxury to “fix” a recipe or start over.  And second, use common sense when following a recipe; if it sounds wrong, proceed with caution.  It’s always easy to add more, but you can’t undo what’s already been done.

Here is what I would have done differently:
Start with only 1/3 cup of milk and add more as needed
Use only 2 teaspoons of butter powder (then taste, add more if needed)
Use 1/2 cup more cheese blend powder (taste test first to see if it is needed)

I still love my Thrive Cookbook and it was worth the purchase price, even if it becomes just a loose guideline as I continue to experiment with my food storage.

I’ll try again soon using the above modifications and hopefully, I’ll end up with something closer to that famous boxed Mac & Cheese that I love!

Until next time,
Happy Prepping!

My absence from blogging….and a few other things

Just wanted to post a quick note that I hope to have some time to start posting again soon.  I started a new part time job on December 2nd & the last few months have flown by for me and The Fam.

I’ve still been trying out new recipes with the Thrive & have discovered that the freeze dried fruit makes some really tasty jam.  I just bought some instant fruit pectin from the store and am going to try using it next time. Stay tuned for some more pics & reviews out of the Thrive Cookbook.

I don’t know how many of you have seasonal allergies but I know this time of year affects alot of people.  I’ve been doing some research on herbal remedies for tree pollen and there’s not much out there.  I did find a website that listed some herbs that had antihistamine affects.  Check out for a list of herbs that could help.  I plan on adding them to my shelf since they also have other health benefits.

Dad, with the help of Frank T., started on the aquaponics greenhouse dome a few weeks ago. They finished the frame & will be working on putting the cover on it soon.  I’ve posted pics of the progress below.

Well, it’s now 1:42 a.m. & I have to be back at work in the a.m., so I better get some rest.  I promise to be back soon with more recipe reviews and pics.

Have a great Monday! Happy Prepping,

Recipe Challenge #7: Sour Cream & Cheese Potatoes

I decided to grill Filet Mignon for dinner tonight, so I wanted to make a recipe that would go well as a side.  The THRIVE Sour Cream & Cheese Potatoes looked like the perfect solution.

As I was making this recipe, there were a couple of things that stood out:  First, I’m SO glad that I bought 3 sets of mixing bowls.  There is no way that I could easily make most of these recipes without them.  I’m sure that is typical with most recipes, I just never cooked much before now.

Second, the recommended soaking (i.e., rehydration) times are WAY off.  The cookbook recommended soaking the THRIVE Potato Chunks in very hot (or pour in boiling) water for 15 minutes.  Based on previous experience with rehydrating some of the THRIVE foods, I decided to add 10 more minutes to the time.  I should have added about 30 minutes. I have no doubt that the food would be perfect with the appropriate soaking time though.

Ok, back to recipe…this one was relatively simple, just took alot of bowls & utensils.  Basically, all I had to do was soak the THRIVE Cheddar Cheese, THRIVE Potato Chunks, & THRIVE Chopped Onions in hot water until rehydrated.  Then I whipped up some THRIVE Sour Cream, which was pretty good.  I love sour cream, so I’m going to make some more and try it once it’s cooled in the fridge.

The recipe called for cream of chicken soup but I was out, so I used some cream of onion soup instead.  I didn’t want to have an overwhelming onion taste, so I cut the THRIVE Chopped Onions from 1 cup to 3/4 of a cup.

The next step was to mix the onions, sour cream, soup, 2 tbs butter & 1 1/2 c of the cheese in a sauce pan & warm it on med-high.  The cheese was sort of clumped together and there was no way I was going to be able to “top with remaining cheese”, so I used the full 2 cups of the cheese in the sauce pan and then sprinkled some of my “regular” shredded cheese on top.  I know that was sort of cheating but the point of trying these recipes is to see how they work in real life, not just in an emergency situation.  It also saved me from using all of my $6.00 Whole Foods bag of shredded cheese, so I saved money by just using a small handful on top of the dish.

From there, I combined the potatoes with the mix from the sauce pan and then spread it out in a 9×9 cake pan, sprinkled with a little shredded cheese and put it in the oven at 350 degrees for about 30 minutes.

It was really very good but more like a slightly firm potato cheese casserole than cheesy mashed potatoes, which is what I was expecting.  I think if I had let the potatoes soak a while longer, it would have turned out closer to my expectations.  I’m taking it to work tomorrow so it will “marinate” overnight in the fridge, which might soften the potatoes a bit more.

Overall, it went very well with my steak and tomato and I plan on making the potatoes for our upcoming family dinner this weekend… I’ll just be sure to start the potato soaking early.  🙂

On another note, I’m making some crockpot chili to take for lunch tomorrow and used the THRIVE Red Kidney Beans in it.  I also decided to try the THRIVE Fudge Brownies again, but this time adding an egg for a “more cake like” brownie.  I’ll let you know how they turn out.

As always, stay safe & may you & yours be Blessed,

Recipe Challenge #5 & 6: Two VERY Different Recipes, One Very Entertaining Evening!

I started out the evening with the intention of only tackling one THRIVE recipe tonight, but I ended up making two recipes that are definitely polar opposites:  Beef Enchillada Bake and 6-Grain Pancakes with Blackberry Compote.  I know what you’re thinking and no, we didn’t eat them together.

Deciding on the Beef Enchillada Bake was an easy choice since the recipe looked really yum, I was in the mood for cheesy & beefy, and I had all the ingredients I needed to complete the dish.

The recipe called for THRIVE Freeze Dried Ground Beef, THRIVE Corn, THRIVE Shredded Cheddar Cheese, salsa, condensed tomato soup and soft corn tortillas.  I’m not big on corn mixed with other food, so I left that out and replaced it with 1/2 cup of THRIVE Chopped Onions.

I was also about 1/4c short of the THRIVE Freeze Dried Ground Beef, so I added THRIVE Beef TPV to make up the difference.  After soaking the onion for 5 minutes and the beef & cheese in water for 15 minutes, it was time to put everything in a skillet.

It took about 7 minutes to heat everything up in the skillet and then I transferred it to the stoneware for baking at 350 degrees.  I think my oven must not bake as hot as the test kitchen at THRIVE, because I’ve had to add approximately 10 extra minutes to every recipe so far.  So, 25 minutes later and Voila!, dinner (well, the first one) was served.

Brandon got home just in time and was “STARVING”, so I added a little sour cream, quickly took the last pic for this post (with his thumbs up) and took my first bite.

I thought it was delicious, Brandon thought it was too sweet.  While cooking in the skillet, the onions carmelized, making them sweet tasting.  I thought it was just right, especially with the side of sour cream.  Brandon suggested I use corn or rice instead of the onions, so I headed back to the kitchen to try another “batch”.  I thought any leftovers would be a good comparison for work tomorrow.

This is where the 6-Grain Pancakes with Blackberry Compote came onto the scene.  Instead of a second go-around of the Beef Enchillada Bake, Brandon decided he would prefer pancakes.  I had unpacked my recent THRIVE delivery and had 2 pantry cans of THRIVE 6-Grain Pancake Mix sitting on the counter.  There was a recipe for blueberry (all I had on hand were the THRIVE Blackberries) pancakes in the THRIVE Cookbook, so I decided to accept TWO challenges in one night… I don’t know what I was thinking.

I’m sure those that are gifted in the culinary arts could have whipped up the pancakes in no time and they would have been perfectly fluffy & round.  I am not one of those people.  This did not happen to me.

The initial “whipping up” part wasn’t so bad.  I mixed up the THRIVE Non Fat Milk (which actually tasted like milk – no powder taste at all!), whipped the THRIVE Eggs into perfect consistency and gently whisked the blackberries into the final mix.

Everything seemed to be going smoothly, and then I tried to cook them.  That’s when things went wrong.  Of course, having a sense of humor about it made it fun, not stressful.  Brandon was there the whole time, encouraging me (“they look floppy”), helping me (laughing with me at my sad pancakes), and offering advise on the recipes (“don’t use sugar in the compote, it’s going to be too sweet” – I used the sugar. He was right).

After three failed attempts, we agreed that the batter needed more THRIVE 6-Grain Pancake Mix.  I added in a little at a time, about 1/2c, until it reached a thicker consistency.

This helped alot – sort of.  We ended up with “Well Done” pancakes, the very last one turning out just right.
Brandon was right about the compote, it was really sweet.  I put it in a jar and into the fridge.  I’m sure I’ll find something to put with it, maybe with some peanut butter on toast.

I was already full from the Beef Enchillada Bake, so I only tasted a bite of the pancakes.  I thought they were really good and so did Brandon.  He decided that next time we would try using raspberries or blueberries.  There’s a recipe for THRIVE Oat Pancakes too – might have to try that.

Even with the mess-ups and huge mess the pancakes made, I wouldn’t trade the laughs, the time spent and the wonderful experience with my son tonight. 🙂  I am truly Blessed.

Goodnight, stay warm & safe.  Until next time,

Recipe Challenge #3 Redux: Cornbread Take 2 & a Taste Test: TPV Beef

I received an email today to let me know that Shelf Reliance is 12-14 days behind on shipments this month.  They have had a surge in orders but are working hard to keep up with all of them.  As a result, I’m still waiting on several of the THRIVE products I need to make most of the recipes in the cookbook.

I decided to give the cornbread recipe another go, just using less sugar.  I did everything exactly as before, but used half the butter and only 1/3 c of sugar.  After everything was mixed together, the consistency looked a little thin, so I added another 1/3 c of cornmeal.  This did the trick and it looked like it should.

I poured the mixture into my trusty stoneware and put it in the oven at 325 degrees.  I set the timer for 30 minutes and let it go.  After 30 minutes, the top still wasn’t browned as much as I would like, so I turned the broiler on (at 500) for just 2 minutes.  The result was PERFECT.

I let the cornbread cool for about 10 minutes and cut a piece to test.  For me, it was just right.  I think that my family would like it a little sweeter, so if this sounds like you or your family, go up to 1/2 c sugar.

My second attempt at this recipe turned out perfect in texture and taste.  It would be a wonderful addition to a chili or pot roast.

I thought I would give the THRIVE TPV Beef a quick taste test, sans additional ingredients.  I took a little nibble of it dried and it looked and tasted like large bacon bits.  The side of the can said to “soak in hot water for 10 minutes” but doesn’t give the ratio of hot water to THRIVE TPV Beef.  So, I guessed at it and got it almost right.  I used 1c water to 1c THRIVE TVP Beef but probably should have used 3/4c water instead.

I let it sit for just over 10 minutes (the dryer was calling & the timer went off while I was downstairs – so more like 15 minutes).  It looked like chopped beef – the taste & texture was not.  I can’t really fault the product since TPV is soy based and not real beef.  It wasn’t bad, it just wasn’t beef.  I’m not sure how it will do in a recipe but I’ll let you know.

In the meantime, I’m going to change all of my upcoming Q Club orders from TPV to THRIVE Freeze Dried Ground Beef instead.  I am building my “Home Store” via the Q Club and intend on using the THRIVE products in place of store bought products (you’d be surprised at how much money you can save, as well as time, by doing this!).  Even though the THRIVE Freeze Dried Ground Beef is more expensive than the THRIVE TVP Beef, I only buy organic, grassfed ground beef, so I’ll be saving a ton of money by using the THRIVE products instead.

Hopefully, the rest of my product will be delivered and I’ll be able to move onto more complex recipes within the next week.  I’m really looking forward to trying the Mac & Cheese & Quesadilla recipes. 🙂

Have a Blessed and restful night!

Recipe Challenge #4: Scrambled Eggs

Tonight’s “challenge” wasn’t really a recipe but more of a taste test.  I wanted to see how the THRIVE Eggs would turn out if I scrambled them.

Following the instructions on the side of the can, I whisked 2 tbs whole egg powder & 4 tbs water together (double recipe).  It looked fairly watery but was confident that it would turn out fine.

I heated a small skillet and sprayed a little bit of PAM butter into the pan, then poured the mix into it.  It began to bubble and take on a pancake like consistency.  I have to admit, I was becoming less confident about the end result.

As the mixture began to thicken and brown, it started to look like fresh scrambled eggs (Thankfully! – I was REALLY not looking forward to trying them in their current state).  The THRIVE eggs take a little longer to cook than fresh eggs and it’s important to keep turning them so they brown properly.  After they looked just about right, I cut up a green tomato and topped it with some hot salsa and sprinkled everything with a little sea salt & fresh ground peppercorn.

While the eggs had a very slight powdered taste to them, they were still pretty good.  I want to try again with just a little less water and maybe add some THRIVE Cheese & THRIVE Bacon to it for texture & taste.

Even though I’ll be sticking with fresh eggs for breakfast for as long as I can get them, I have no doubt that in a recipe that calls for eggs, the THRIVE Whole Powdered Eggs would be just as good as fresh ones.

Sleep well!

Recipe Challenge #3: Homemade Cornbread

Update on THE CHICKEN SALAD: While it was really tasty (especially if I had some pickle relish for it) the night before, it was incredible the next day and needed nothing at all.  I took the leftovers to work for lunch and 3 others tried it.  They couldn’t believe it was made with THRIVE freeze dried ingredients.  In fact, I am bringing a double recipe to work tomorrow for everyone for lunch…. It’s THAT good. 🙂  So, if you make the Chicken Salad Sandwich recipe, make it the night before and people will RAVE about it!

My first observation while making tonight’s recipe was that I need a bigger kitchen.  AND more mixing bowls. AND a set of actual measuring spoons.  But aside from that, it was a breeze.  If you can follow directions (having the right kind of mixing bowls & measuring spoons will make it easier), then you can make this recipe.  I tend to burn bread, so I was a little apprehensive about attempting this one.  But since the other ingredients I ordered haven’t been delivered yet, it was one of the few options available.

Side Note: I know I make it sound like I am missing a huge amount of THRIVE products, but in reality, it’s only a few staple items that are called for in a good deal of the recipes in the THRIVE Cookbook.  Once those arrive (I received the shipping notice today), I’ll be all set for the whole book! 🙂

Back to the recipe:  The only two things I substituted tonight were the salt & the sugar.  The recipe called for a cup of THRIVE sugar and a 1/2 teaspoon of THRIVE salt.  I figured sugar is sugar & table salt is table salt, so I opted not to open my cans of these two items and used my regular Publix brand of both.

Although this recipe had more ingredients than my first two recipes, it really wasn’t difficult.  It called for some buttermilk, which I didn’t have, so I followed the simple recipe in the cookbook for homemade buttermilk: 3 tbs THRIVE powdered milk, 1 c water, 1 tbs lemon juice and it was perfect. Be sure to mix it THOROUGHLY if you make your own.

After making my own buttermilk (which I thought was really very cool considering my lack of aptitude for cooking), I continued with the recipe as described.  After mixing everything together, I popped it in the oven for 30 minutes (max recommended time).  When the timer went off, I felt it wasn’t quite as done as I would like, so I added 5 more minutes to the cook time.

I pulled it out of the oven after a total of 35 minutes.  I thought it needed more browning on the top but I was afraid to bake it any longer than 35 minutes, so I went ahead and let the cornbread cool for about 20 minutes.  I cut a small piece to try and it was just moist enough that, with it still being warm, it almost melted in my mouth.  I thought it a bit sweet but then I’m one of those people that likes coffee black – no sugar, no cream – and unsweetened tea (a huge faux pas as a born Southerner).  Basically, most things with any noticeable amount of sugar taste a little too sweet to me.

My son came home shortly after and I asked him to check it out for me.   He agreed that it was too sweet for cornbread – almost dessert like.  That may be why the top didn’t brown as much as I thought it should.  I’m going to try again using less sugar.  Although the recipe calls for 1c sugar, I think that 1/2 c or even 1/3 c would be enough.  That should make the end result a little lighter and not near as sweet.

Bottom Line: If you like your cornbread sweet and moist, this recipe as is would be perfect for you.  If you like it a little fluffier & more bread-like, try cutting the sugar.  I’ll attempt this one again and post a revised review soon.

Goodnight and have a great weekend!

Recipe Challenge #2: Chicken Salad (Sandwich)

FIRST: FOLLOW UP ON THE BROWNIES!  I was afraid that I would wake up to dry, hard brownies that crumbled when I took them out of the pan to take to work.  I am happy to report that this was not the case!  They were still perfectly chewy & moist.  Everyone that tried one commented on how great they tasted!

Ok, onto tonight’s challenge:

I know I’m starting my THRIVE Recipe Challenge off with ridiculously easy recipes but there is a reason (besides the fact that I like easy recipes): I took inventory and realized that I didn’t have all of the THRIVE products that I needed to complete many of the recipes without using outside resources.  So, I ordered the remaining items I needed to complete every recipe in the cookbook last night.  In the meantime, I’ll have to stick with the really simple stuff.

Getting home a little later than usual tonight, an easy recipe was just what I was looking forward to “tackling”.  After making it, I honestly think my 8 year old nephew could have done just as well.  It was super easy and required very little effort.

Basically, the recipe called for 3 c water, 1 1/2 c chopped THRIVE chicken, 1/2 c diced THRIVE celery, and 1/3 c of THRIVE chopped onions.  I brought everything to a boil, reduced the heat to low and let it simmer for 10 minutes.  Draining the mixture was as simple as pouring it into a strainer & then placing the strainer on top of the empty pot for 10 more minutes.

While all of this didn’t take very long at all, (just over 22 min), the recipe called for placing the mixture into the fridge “until cooled”.  My thought was, “Umm, No. I’m hungry now”.

So, I sped up the process by placing it in the freezer for about 15 minutes.  This cooled the mixture enough to add in the 1/2 c Vegenaise.  We don’t use mayonnaise (which is what the recipe used), so anything that calls for mayo gets Grapeseed Vegenaise instead.  It is MUCH healthier for you and we like it better than the taste of mayo.

I did a quick taste test and determined that it needed something else.  So, I added a little himalayan pink salt & ground black pepper.  While this made it almost just right, I still felt that it needed either chopped pickles or sweet relish to round it out.  Since I didn’t have either of these items, I cut up some fresh tomatoes and added some tortilla chips to the dish.  If my diet wasn’t sans gluten, a butter croissant would have been perfect with it.

Bottom line: I was pleasantly surprised that freeze dried chicken could be this tasty but next time I make the recipe, I’ll have some pickles or relish on hand to try with it. 🙂

BTW, almost all Thrive products contain 100% NO GMO ingredients!

Cranberry, orange and almond fruit loaf (h)

Preheat the oven to gas 4, 180°C, fan 160°C. Lightly grease a 900g (2lb) loaf tin and line with nonstick baking paper. Combine the cranberries and marzipan with 1 tbsp flour, and set aside.

Put the butter and sugar in a large bowl and beat with an electric whisk until pale and fluffy. Gradually add the egg, beating well between each addition. Fold in the ground almonds, remaining flour, orange zest, almond extract and the reserved cranberries and marzipan. Transfer the mixture to the tin and smooth the top.

Bake for 50 minutes or until a skewer inserted into the middle comes out clean, then remove and rest in the tin for 10 minutes, before tipping out onto a wire rack to cool completely.

For the topping, put the cranberries, sugar, vanilla and orange juice in a saucepan, and cook on a medium heat for 6-8 minutes, stirring until jammy. Set aside to cool and thicken. Meanwhile, mix the icing sugar with enough orange juice to make a smooth, runny icing. Drizzle over the cake and top with the cranberry mixture.

Shearing Bliss

The average American spends $21 on a haircut. The average sheep spends $0 on a haircut.

Sheep shearing
Photo by Crystal Lawrence

Mostly because they don’t have hair; they have wool. And they don’t have money. Or the ability to say what style they’d like. Or a ride to the salon. There are a lot of obstacles in the way.

So, it’s up to the rancher to step up and get the job done. Yes, rancher’s raise sheep, too (shhh…don’t tell anyone). And when they raise sheep, they not only raise them for meat, but for wool. This is where the haircut…er, woolcut…comes in. But, we call it shearing.

Shearing (shaving the wool off a sheep) is harmless, just like getting a haircut. You do need someone skilled and efficient, so as not to cut or injure the animal.

Just like RealRancher Jody Bagley is demonstrating, some sheep are sheared with electric shears. Most sheep are sheared with shearing machines, which help shear larger flocks faster. The farmer or rancher may shear their own sheep or hire professional sheep shearers. A skilled shearer can shear a sheep in minutes and can remove the fleece in one piece.

Sheep are usually sheared once a year, in the spring, before hot weather sets in. Many choose to shear before lambing starts because it creates a cleaner environment for the lambs and also keeps the fleeces cleaner. In earlier days the  wool is placed in large bags for transporting to the buyer.  As 8 foot-long bags would hang from a stand, “wool trompers” would jump into the bag after every few fleeces to pack the wool tightly.  Today most wool is packed in large bales using a wool press.

Just like your hair, wool never stops growing. Shearing keeps sheep less stressed and more comfortable. Just behold this look of relaxation…

Foody Thursday – Orange Rice

One of the most favorite dishes of my younger kiddo. Fast, easy, healthy, unusual. Orange Rice – you have to try!

Orange Rice 2

I prefer to use Basmati rice, but you could use your favorite kind.

Cooked in a rice cooker or multi-function cooker Panasonic in my case. And no Panasonic is not paying me for advertising – I had it for over 7 years now, and still love it.

The idea is simple, instead of water, use orange juice to cook your rice.
Basically 2 cups of rice
2.5 cups orange juice
and a big chunk of butter

Cook it, serve it, enjoy it!

Option: use Cranberry juice for delightful pink rice!

Beef Tibs Hot and Fast

Tibs – Ethiopian Stir-Fried Red Meat

Makes: about a quart?
Time: 10 minutes

  • 1 large red onion (sliced thin)
  • 1/4 cup niter kebbeh (spiced butter) or ghee
  • 2 lbs beef (or lamb or venison) (cut into bite-sized pieces)
  • 2 tablespoons berbere
  • 1 tsp ground fenugreek
  • 1/2 tsp cardamom (optional)
  • 1/2 tsp ground ginger
  • 1/4 tsp cumin
  • 1/4 tsp ground clove
  • 1 tsp black pepper
  • 3 – 4 garlic cloves (sliced thinly)
  • 2 cups tomatoes (whole, peeled, broken into bits)
  • 1 to 5 green chiles (jalapenos or serranos will do fine)
  • 1/2 cup red wine

  1. Get the saute pan or wok very hot.
  2. Stir-fry the onions without the butter/ghee for a few minutes, until they char just a little on the outside.
  3. Add the spiced butter and the venison. Stir-fry hot and fast until the outside of the meat is brown but the inside of the meat is still very rare. You need to do this on as hot a burner as you have. Do it in two batches unless you have a very large wok or pan.
  4. The moment the meat has browned, add it all back into the pan along with the spices, garlic and chiles. Stir-fry another 30 seconds
  5. Add the tomatoes and the wine. Toss to combine and let this cook for a minute or two.
  6. Serve at once with injera.

This is the last of the recipes I’m copying from my spouse.  As usual, I can’t vouch for the original source or authenticity; however, I will say that most of the beef tibs I’ve had in Ethiopian restaurants have been more slow-cooked than this is.  If I find a good recipe for that style, I’ll post it later.

The amount of chile pepper to add is up to you, so experiment with spice level.

Doro Wat

Doro Wat

Makes: a lot
Time: about an hour

  • 3 lb skinless dark meat chicken pieces
  • 8 oz butter
  • 3 lb onions (peeled and finely chopped)
  • 6 garlic cloves (chopped and mashed)
  • 3 Tbsp berbere
  • 9 oz tomato puree (diced tomatoes will work fine)
  • 2 tsp sugar
  • 2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp turmeric
  • Some hard boiled eggs (peeled) (optional; I usually omit)

  1. Make a few cuts in each chicken piece, to allow the sauce to penetrate the chicken flesh.
  2. In a large pot, melt the butter and saute the chopped onions and garlic over medium heat, about 10 minutes.
  3. Add the 3 tablespoons Berbere spice mixture, stir through, and then add the tomato puree, sugar and salt.
  4. Simmer this over low heat for about 10 minutes.
  5. Add the chicken pieces and stir well so each piece is covered with the sauce.
  6. Add enough water to get a sauce consistency as for thick soup.
  7. Simmer for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  8. If using, add the peeled, hard-boiled eggs (whole).
  9. Cover the pot, and let cook over low heat until chicken is tender. The oil tends to rise to the top when the dish is ready.
  10. Traditionally, the dish will be cooled down somewhat before serving.

  • Sik Sik Wat – substitute cubed stewing beef for chicken.
  • Zucchini Wat – substitute zucchini halved and quartered, reduce time to cook only until zucchini is soft through.

Obligatory notice about lack of info about authenticity or source because my spouse collected this recipe.

Doro wat is often spicy but adjust to your taste.  My spouse defaults to chicken breast a lot, but this is fine with any part of the chicken.  You can go boneless or bone in because at the end the meat should be easily pulled off the bone.

The standard recipe includes hard-boiled eggs, but I almost always leave them off because I don’t like hard-boiled eggs.

Ask me to conjugate and I'll decline

A slightly belated hello to all the people who've friended me lately, probably as a consequence of my Fandom Studies test. I'm very flattered you consider me entertaining, but I must admit that I'm now wilting a little due to performance anxiety. Wibble.

Anyway, while you're waiting for me to come out with something impressive (hem hem), here's a classic take on the eternal quest for satisfaction, British style. Courtesy of YouTube, it's Victoria Wood singing The Ballad of Barry and Freda. (And if you want to sing along at home, the lyrics are here.)

Panorama | Work in Progress | 71 – Degrees

In Street Photography on December 10, 2012 at 8:22 AM

71 – Degrees | by Jack Picone

The images in this gallery have all been made on the Hasselblad X-Pan 1 and the Fuji TX-1 essentially, they are exactly the same camera just branded differently.

Both these cameras are relatively small 35mm film cameras that can produce striking unbroken images across a full 71- degree field of view (the normal field of vision of the human eye, by contrast, is only about 45 degrees). The resulting photographs make concrete the concept of the panorama — quite literally, to “see all.”

I take these cameras with me everywhere I go. They are my, “I am taking my cameras for a walk” cameras. Pictures in this slide gallery are from Bangkok, Hong Kong, Macau, Bali, South Africa, Kenya, Sri Lanka, Kathmandu, Laos, Cambodia China and Australia.

The trick with using these cameras is not to rely too heavily on the actual panorama format in an effort to make your images  more aesthetically interesting. This would be clichéd. It is really about using the panorama format in conjunction with compelling composition. If there is a confluence of  both these variables it is possible to elevate your images to a higher aesthetic plane. The latter sadly, I have yet to achieve with the work here.

I am on a creative cusp! I am close I can feel it, Exciting!

Royal Mail launch simplified Postcode Address File licence

Offering an exceptional customer experience is one of the factors which separate good companies from great companies. One key asset in the arsenal of those great companies is the ability to offer what customers want, when they want it with no hiccups along the way. Delayed or lost deliveries is one such hiccup and why the use of address validation using Royal Mail’s PAF® dataset is a great tool in getting a business from good to great.

Up until now, the licensing fee, applied by Royal Mail to all users of PAF®, for internal (employee based) address validation has been significantly higher than that of external (customer based) address validation. This has meant that many organisations have not been able to stomach the higher internal fee. The announcement that from April, Royal Mail will be unifying the internal and external licensing models should therefore be heralded as a great step forward and a real opportunity for organisations to sure up their databases and in turn, the experience they offer their customers.

Paying a lower price for internal PAF® is not the only benefit of the unification. The fact that you now only have to pay a single fee no matter where you are using PAF® means administering it will be far easier. The usage reporting tool within the Postcode Anywhere account dashboard has always made calculating which credit plan is best for you relatively straightforward. However, the fee unification makes the selecting the optimum pack even simpler.

What are the major benefits to you the customer?

  • Simpler administration with unified pricing for external and internal address validation
  • Peace of mind in the quality of your address data captured both internally and externally
  • Improved employee efficiency by making it easier for them to enter addresses into CRMs and other internal systems.

You can learn more about the changes to Royal Mail PAF® licence, and how they might affect you if you are a Postcode Anywhere customer by reading our FAQs.

To find out how you could take advantage of Royal Mail changes to the PAF® licence please get in touch, our support team are primed and ready to help.

We all need 2.4 litres of water every day, just to survive. We are all made of approximately 60% water!We are all made of same stuff!

Last year WaterAid Canada gave...

Revival by Martin & Co is committed to making a difference in the World. We believe in responsible, sustainable actions that positively impact the World we live in. Our vision is of a world where everyone has access to safe water and sanitation.
For every watch purchased, we will donate 25% of proceeds to families like Zione.

Clean water, improved hygiene and sanitation transform lives, far beyond health benefits. When freed from the daily burden of walking hours to find and collect water, women have more time to work and care for their families, children's lives are saved, and school attendance rises. Communities can take their first steps out of poverty.

So far, we've helped raised more than $30,000, the equivalent of 1042 children given access to clean water.
Every minute, every day, people suffer and lives are lost needlessly because of a lack of safe water and sanitation. Help us transform lives.
