wow! Good deal wor.. yes, I always use my steamer for all my steam food... it's practical, coz you can do rice, and 2 dish at the same time..ReplyDelete
mmmm, i also love "sat kei mah", those from ipoh are just so nice~~ReplyDelete
cyn: must be better than microwave then.. at least this one no radiation?ReplyDelete
sk: this one is not so sweet and not much egg taste..
Ahewm......deposit rm10k wor can get the steamer hahahahaReplyDelete
Sat kei mah is my mum's favorite but not me. The steamer is very practical especially for a small family. I miss my steamer. Mine spoilt already Have not buy a new one yet. Maybe I wait for Public Bank in KL to give this away and open a current account to get one.. heheReplyDelete
that's a nice steamer.ReplyDelete
I have no idea what Sak Keh Mar is so maybe I'll guess the walnut & dates to be nicer?ReplyDelete
I still like "Sat kei mah". Dont like dates though.ReplyDelete
Im coming back to Ipoh during the CNY. Lets meet then.
Can u pls email me yr phone no to my email email@example.com?
I have never heard of a Cornell. You'll have to let us know if it's like a microwave. It looks plastic.
Congrats on being a Featured Member of vB!

The snacks look good and so does the steamer!ReplyDelete
If it is a food steamer, looks like you would put liquid in the bottom. Microwave dries food out, this would keep it very moist!!! Steamed broccoli is very good, steaming keeps all the nutrients in the food and they don't get dumped out with the boiling water.ReplyDelete
Not into those stuff. Cornell's good brand - I've the slow cooker. How much you put in current account to get that? Wah...so kaya hor!ReplyDelete
kathy: yeah..after that, can take out ma..ReplyDelete
quaypo: dont know still have this offer or not.. more than a month ago..
bella: yeah.. definitely!
wenn: not opened yet so not sure..
jessie: i did that already..
erin: thank you!!
gigi: hahaha...
ginny: yeah, i think it will be better than microwave..
stp: hahaha... like kathy said.. then i took out again..
Happy Lunar New Year to you and your family!!!ReplyDelete
That's a steamer. Perfect for steaming paus and 'nin gou'.ReplyDelete
Oh the steamer is very handy but I just don't like to wash up so many compartments after use :)ReplyDelete
Kong Hee Fatt Choy to you and your family, Claire :)
I like "Sak Keh Mar". Never tried the other one before. That food steamer looks interesting. I've always wanted one but afraid that I won't use much of it.ReplyDelete
Anyway, Gong Xi Fatt Chai to you and your family!
I love the Sak Keh Mar! Nice snacks!ReplyDelete
what fun to try a new food machine.ReplyDelete
And congrats to your girl!
Aloha from Waikiki

Ooo! Honey-comb biscuit aka sak keh mar is my favourite snack too. Normally have it during festival like cny and mooncake festival.ReplyDelete
Happy chinese new year to you and your family, Claire!
banks here no freebie.ReplyDelete
Happy CNY.
Oooer I love sat kei ma too!ReplyDelete
The Cornell will be a great companion. Healthy steamed dishes to be tried! :)
i want sat kei ma! :P wow whats that n how is it work?? let us noe kay!!ReplyDelete
very nice food steamer!ReplyDelete
It's great to try new things, and it's awesome you found something you liked :)ReplyDelete
Thanks for sharing this happiness with us at Rub Some Dirt On It!
Steamer is one of my life-saver when i got no time to stand at the stove to cook!ReplyDelete

nuclear terrorism
Lies, Damn Lies, and Safe Nuclear Power - by Stephen Lendman In any form, nuclear power is inherently unsafe. For decades, nuclear expert Helen Caldicott warned it must be abandoned, saying: "As a physician, I contend that nuclear technology threatens life on our planet with extinction. If present trends continue, the air we breathe, the food we eat, and the water we drink will soon be contaminated with enough radioactive pollutants to pose a potential health hazard far greater than any plague humanity has ever experienced." Anti-nuclear activist/expert Professor Karl Grossman agrees, calling "Atomic Energy: Unsafe in the Real World" in his June 29 article, saying: "Nuclear power requires perfection and no acts of God" to avoid accidents that may become catastrophes. Humans and technology aren't perfect. Natural and other type disasters happen. "(W)e can't eliminate them. But we can - and must eliminate atomic energy" or it will eliminate us. On March 18, Bloomberg said Japan's Fukushima disaster "follows decades of falsified safety reports, fatal accidents and underestimated earthquake risks in Japan's atomic power industry." The same is true in America and elsewhere - governments, regulators, and power companies suppressing vital truths, instead of shutting down inherently unsafe plants, making all of them ticking bombs. Fukushima, Chernobyl and Three Mile Island exploded. Others as bad or worse are assured, irradiating vast parts of the earth disastrously. On June 22, kinetictruth.com headlined, "US heading toward nuclear disaster," saying: "After a yearlong investigation, AP concluded that many of the nation's facilities are still (operating) because the safety standards that they are held to have been repeatedly weakened as regulations (for the world's most hazardous industry became) more and more lax." After reviewing tens of thousands of government and industry studies and documents since the 1970s, it concluded that the industry-run Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) falsified arguments, saying "safety margins could be eased without peril." As a result, not only are Americans endangered, so is one-fifth of the nation's electricity supply. Many problems AP found could trigger a nuclear disaster, including broken seals and nozzles, rusted pipes, aging facilities past their useful life, and numerous examples of shoddy maintenance and management laxity. Nonetheless, NRC officials rubber stamp license extensions, including 66 facilities over 25 years old re-licensed for another two decades, instead of responsibly shutting them down. Vermont Yankee is perhaps the most notorious. Licensed to begin operating in 1972, Vermont's Senate voted 26 - 4 against re-licensing in February 2010, citing radioactive tritium leaks, falsified management statements, a 2007 cooling tower collapse, among other problems, proving the facility is a disaster waiting to happen. Nonetheless, on March 21, 2011, the NRC extended its life for another 20 years until 2032. Moreover, Entergy, Vermont Yankee's owner and America's second largest nuclear generator after Exelon, sued to revoke a state law, giving it legislative authority to suspend operations when its current license expires next March. The plant, in fact, has the same GE Mark 1 Boiling Water Reactor design as Fukushima's Units 1 and 2. According to Citizens's Action Network's Bob Stannard: "It's unimaginable to think that the NRC would declare this plant safe when (it) houses 640 tons of spent fuel in an unprotected fuel pool with no containment vessel. In Japan, the plant that's in the worst shape has only 80 tons." If Vermont Yankee blows, perhaps all Vermont and New England go with it, and given its deplorable state, it may if it's 20 year extension isn't stopped. Mid-America Threatened In Missouri, record floods threaten two nuclear plants - the Cooper Nuclear Station and Fort Calhoun Station, yet little about either is reported, especially on television where most people get news. In early June moreover, the FAA issued an indefinite "no-fly hazards" restriction over the facilities to conceal the worst of what's happening. Both plants issued low level "unusual event" alerts that may rise to catastrophic ones. On June 30, the Omaha World-Herald reported that both plants store spent fuel rods in open casks. As a result, if Missouri River flood levels rise enough, they'll "overflow them and carry contaminated water downstream." Both plants "use outdoor, above-ground entombment (called dry cask storage) for its oldest fuel," kept in welded shut steel canisters placed "inside concrete bunkers that rely on outside air flowing" to dissipate residual heat. Allegedly, bunkers and canisters can withstand flooding. They may soon get a chance to prove it. On June 15, Rense.com contributor Tom Burnett headlined, "Ft. Calhoun Spent Fuel In Ground Pools, Flooded Already?" saying: "Ft. Calhoun is the designated spent fuel storage facility for the entire state of Nebraska....and maybe for more than one state." It's stored in ground-level pools underwater but open on top. "When the Missouri River pours in there, it's going to make Fukushima look like an x-ray. But that's not all. There are a LOT of nuclear plants on both the Missouri and Mississippi and they can all go to hell fast" if flood waters or other natural disasters threaten them. Ft. Calhoun's spent and recently removed fuel are stored "OUTSIDE the reactor waiting to wash away or explode - which will destroy about 15,000 square miles of what used to be the corn belt," besides the potential human toll. In fact, "Calhoun may already be spewing radiation into the flooding Missouri." However, an information blackout keeps the public uninformed, including about an NRC report effectively saying it's unprepared "to protect the intake structure and auxiliary building against external flooding." Nonetheless, Omaha Public Power District CEO Gary Gates told AP: "There is no possibility of a meltdown. The floodwaters are outside of Ft. Calhoun, not inside," AP adding: "Fort Calhoun is the subject of more public concern because the floodwaters have surrounded that plant and forced workers to use raised catwalks to access the facility." Cooper Nuclear Station "is more elevated, so the floodwaters aren't as close to the facility." But the facility is by no means out of danger. NRC chairman Gregory Jaczko also claims flooding endangers neither plant, words he may later eat if levels keep rising. In fact, Public Citizen's Tyson Slocum believes conditions are dangerous, saying: "We're inches away from (Calhoun) nuclear plant being flooded. It's already an island. And we still have a very real possibility of flood levels rising....There's always the possibility of the situation escalating, especially when we don't control all the variables. That's what happened in Japan." "There's no question that there's significant concern about the threat that rising flood waters pose to flooding certain operations of the plant that could disable certain critical safety features, including cooling systems." Cooper may also be endangered, he added, saying: "We wouldn't be having this conversation if this were a wind farm or if this were a solar power installation. Nuclear power inherently poses enormous risks to our communities. We really have to start questioning whether (it) should be a viable part of our 21st century energy mix." Any sane person would call that a no-brainer. In addition, conditions appear worse, not better, after a protective Calhoun facility water-filled berm collapsed on June 26 after being struck by some heavy equipment. As a result, "(m)ore than 2 feet (60 cm) of water rushed in around containment buildings and electrical transformers," according to Reuters. Most disturbing is that very likely the worst of what's happening is suppressed. Moreover, it's standard practice for all major industries to protect their bottom line priorities, aided by complicit regulators, government officials, and media bosses, dismissive of public safety concerns. As a result, the official IAEA Chernobyl death count was 4,000 when, in fact, a New York Academy of Sciences (NYAS) study concluded numbers approaching one million and counting. Moreover, little information explained how BP destroyed America's Gulf and gravely harmed the health and livelihoods of millions of area residents. In early June, the Nuclear Energy Institute, a US industry lobbying group, claimed: "No health effects are expected among the Japanese people as a result of the events at Fukushima." In fact, weeks after the March 11 disaster, two distinguished nuclear experts, Christopher Busby and Marion Fulk, publicly said northern Japan (one-third of the country) is uninhabitable and should be evacuated. By now perhaps most or all Japan is affected, as well as many other parts of the world, including American air, water, soil and food contaminated by hazardous radiation levels. America's Southwest On the Edge In late June, the Las Conchas fire began in New Mexico's Sante Fe National Forest, 12 miles southwest of the Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL). It's America's largest nuclear weapons research center, storing huge amounts of nuclear waste, including a reported 30,000 55-gallon drums of plutonium, the most toxic substance known. According to the Los Alamos Study Group (LASG), a LANL site called "Area G" houses a nuclear dump, 19 miles from Sante Fe Plaza. "It's Growing. And It's Ours Forever:" -- larger than the Waste Isolation Pilot Plant near Carlsbad, NM; -- permanent waste is kept "in shallow unlined pits and shafts covered with dirt;" -- enough's there to "fill 1.4 million 55 gallon drums - plus (another 60,000 drums) of temporarily-stored waste;" -- weapons testing and production adds another 54,000 drums annually; -- "two other mesas (will also be used) for dump sites;" -- regulatory oversight is entirely absent; and -- most waste "is entirely unnecessary." In fact, weapons development, testing and production way exceeds Cold War levels, even after America's 2010 Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty (START) with Russia. It was an agreement more in name than substance, given Washington's determination to pursue nuclear superiority by replacing old weapons with new, improved, more destructive ones. As a result, LASG said LANL weapons design and testing continue. "Production of plutonium bomb cores has begun. A second plutonium plant is planned. Many more tons of plutonium are needed for the bomb factories. Huge new facilities for weapons testing and or novel kinds of nuclear processing - which will produce even more waste - are planned." Everything is dangerous and secret. LASG worries most about: -- increasing US Southwest drought, creating conditions for raging fires; and -- natural or engineered "unexpected events," causing "unthinkable" nuclear catastrophes, including one affecting LANL, surrounding areas, and potentially much of America's Southwest because bad enough nuclear accidents are unforgiving. Whether current Los Alamos fires qualify isn't known. On June 28, AP said midday flames were "as close as 50 feet from the grounds." LANL safety assurances aren't reliable, nor is information about potential widespread contamination if containment doesn't work. In Los Alamos, Senator Tom Udall (D. NM) said, "We are throwing absolutely everything at this that we've got." As a precautionary measure, the city's entire 11,000 population was evacuated. According to Concerned Citizens for Nuclear Safety executive director Joni Arends: "The concern is that (drums of plutonium) will get so hot that they'll burst. That would put this toxic material into the plume. It's a concern for everybody." She also worries that fire may affect LANL nuclear-contaminated soil. With a staff of about 15,000, the facility is huge, including 2,000 buildings, covering over 36 square miles on nearly four dozen sites. It's been around since WW II as part of the Manhattan Project. Thereafter, it evolved into a major scientific and nuclear research facility, developing, testing and producing state-of-the art weapons, as well as multidisciplinary work in various fields, including national security, space, renewable energy, medicine, nanotechnology, and supercomputing. About one-third of its technical staff are physicists, one-fourth engineers, one-sixth chemists and materials scientists, and the others involved in mathematics, computational science, biology, geoscience, and other disciplines. Along with Alameda County, CA's Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, it's one of two Department of Energy facilities designing nuclear weapons and related activities. Because of fire, lab facilities were shut for days. Moreover, 30 or more of its structures were destroyed, yet LANL claims its buildings were constructed to meet strict nuclear safety standards. In Japan, Tokyo Electric (TEPCO), regulators and government officials gave similar nuclear safety assurances, even after disaster struck, and still suppress vital information millions of Japanese citizens need to know. America's NRC does it notoriously. Why expect LANL to operate otherwise, especially given its sensitive work and large amounts of stored nuclear waste, including plutonium, perhaps vulnerable to ignite and spread over a wide area disastrously, despite officials calling the exposure risk small. Maybe they're right, maybe not but won't say. On June 30, Los Alamos County Fire Chief Douglas Tucker said the fire could double or triple in size before it's checked, adding: "We have fire all around the lab. It's a road away." On June 29, the Sante Fe Reporter said nearly 93,000 acres were consumed. Its feature story headlined, "Flash Point: The West is burning. Is global 'weirding' to blame? saying: Another 60,748 acres are ablaze, threatening LANL. It's not one big fire. Since last July, nearly 1,000 ignited around the state, most in the past few months because of tinderbox dry conditions. They're also across the West from Texas to California, as well as north to Colorado and Utah. In nearly a year, over 711,000 New Mexico aces were lost. In a separate report, writer Chip Ward said Arizona and Texas are burning besides New Mexico and other states. However, residents close to Los Alamos live in fear, worried that smoke plumes might contain deadly radiation, especially plutonium if it ignites. Unless prevented, "the West is ours to lose," and perhaps a whole lot more. Stephen Lendman lives in Chicago and can be reached at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Soft Kitty Hoodie
Sing it with us...
- Full-zip 60% polyester / 40% cotton hoodie.
- Features removable kitten mittens.
- Officially-licensed Big Bang Theory gear.
When you sing Soft Kitty (because we know you do), there's the "warm kitty" bit. Kitties are naturally warm; their internal temperature usually ranges from 100° to 102.5°, unlike us, which is part of what makes snuggling with a kitty so nice. It's naturally warm and fuzzy. You, too, can be warm and fuzzy in this Soft Kitty hoodie.
60% polyester / 40% cotton full-zip hoodie. 2 kangaroo-style pockets. Ears. Tail. Detachable kitten mittens (with anerable paw pads) secured with 2 buttons at cuff. Note: This was our vendor's first time using a new manufacturer. For the samples we ordered, the men's came with the hood string ends unknotted and the women's came without a hood string at all. A quick survey showed we personally don't use them, so we told our vendor we didn't care, but if you DO care and yours comes without a string, feel free to return it, unworn, for an exchange or refund. Also, they'd buttoned our kitten mittens on backwards (with the paw pads facing up), so you may need to swap them when you get yours.
There are two differences between the unisex and the ladies' versions. 1) The ladies' has a pink hood lining, while the unisex is grey. 2) The ladies' version is more tapered and shorter than the unisex. Note: Please reference the table below to choose your size.

By Susan Spencer | Telegram and Gazette
WORCESTER — The deep-fried Oreo cookie, drizzled with chocolate sauce, was sweet, gooey and very popular. And it was sold hot and fresh out of a food truck.
The fried Oreo's purveyor, Super Fans Deli & Pizzeria of Fitchburg, was one of some 20 vendors at Worcester's second annual food truck festival on Park Avenue at Elm Park Saturday.
The event, which drew a crowd that organizers expected to exceed last year's 8,000 visitors, was well received by hungry tasters looking to sample bites from the familiar to the novel. Vendors, too, saw it as a chance to showcase a growing market for mobile foodies.
Super Fans' owner Jamie Roy said his crew picked the best-selling menu items from the restaurant for the food truck, including the Oreos and "Insanewich" sandwiches. It was his second year at the festival and highlighted what he saw as a dominant trend in the restaurant business.
"If you don't hop on the wagon (of food trucks), it'll be a detriment," Mr. Roy said.
He said when he started as a student at Johnson & Wales University six years ago, the food truck market was $5 million. Four years later, it was tracking up to $5 billion.
Michael Fedyk of Worcester finished a "Kamikaze" sandwich from Super Fans, which featured chicken and barbecue sauce, while his wife, Margaret, retrieved a bowl of lobster macaroni and cheese from the nearby Lobsta Love truck.
"I would never think of ordering lobster macaroni and cheese from a truck," Mrs. Fedyk said, as she declared it delicious.
Both the Fedyks thought that food trucks should be available more widely in Worcester.
A 2008 city ordinance requires permission from a restaurant's owners before a street vendor can set up shop within 250 feet of an establishment. Although the City Council discussed opening the issue for reconsideration this spring, the rule remains in effect.
Food truck fans Jessica and Sean Walsh of Worcester called the current food truck restrictions "terrible."
Mr. Walsh said, "I think it was created by legislators who owned restaurants."
Wearing an "I (heart) food trucks" pin, Ms. Walsh said, "Food is the great equalizer of everyone."
The couple were enjoying a Vietnamese barbecue pork banh mi sandwich from the Bon Me food truck.
"This is part of the reason we come to the food truck festival," Ms. Walsh said. "We love them."
Bon Me truck manager Jenn Ngo of Boston said the company's Kendall Square, Cambridge, restaurant owners entered on a whim and won the 2010 Boston food truck contest and have operated three trucks in Boston since 2011.
The "bon me" sandwiches, baguettes filled with homemade pork pate, pickled carrots and daikon, cucumbers, spicy mayonnaise, red onions and cilantro, were favorite items, along with Thai basil limeade and noodle salads in rice bowls.
Ms. Ngo said about the festival: "They don't have a lot of food trucks in Worcester and everyone's very receptive. It's good to see this outpouring of people that are excited to see us."
Michael Pappas of Salem, who was in charge of the Boston-based Lobsta Love food truck and Grilled Cheese Nation, was running a steady business selling lobster macaroni and cheese and lobster sliders in one truck, and grilled comfort sandwiches like "In Gouda We Trust" and "Swiss Family Boston" in the other.
Stepping out of the Lobsta Love truck, Mr. Pappas said: "In Boston, this is a home run. Here, it's Grilled Cheese Nation. I think it's the price point — lobster's expensive. Grilled cheese is a little lower price point, more familiar."
Francine and Paul Horniak of Woodstock, Conn., savored gourmet grilled cheese from Roxy's food truck, another vendor. Ms. Horniak, who said she frequents food trucks in Boston when she goes in for work, opted for the Vermont cheddar and tomato, while Mr. Horniak dug into the "Mighty Rib Melt" with braised short ribs, fontina cheese and caramelized onions.
"I'm just a food connoisseur," Mr. Horniak said. "I think it's great. It (food trucks) gives you the variety and you don't have to go to Boston for it."
The food truck festival offered plenty to satisfy people's sweet tooths, too.
Lauren, age 6, and William, 4, Henderson of Holden picked out chocolate chip and confetti whoopie pies from the Whoopie Wagon. Their mother, Stefanie, selected red velvet.
Lauren said she tried everything at the festival; up until the whoopie pie dessert, the grilled cheese was her favorite.
Whoopie Wagon owner Christopher Bandereck of Topsfield, who also owns a brick-and-mortar bakery and catering shop there, said his food truck business has taken off since he started it two years ago.
"It's helped with the social media and the tweeting," he said, referring to the mobile marketing link between food truck vendors and customers. "Both (the shop and truck) have grown, but the truck has grown more."
Mr. Bandereck said the two sides of his business support each other. For instance, the popular "Elm Park Special" chocolate, salted caramel whoopie pie was created from a bakery catering request for cupcake offerings.
Meaghan Barron, event producer for Food Truck Festivals of New England, which organized the event, said all the food trucks at the Worcester festival seemed busy.
"When we bring food trucks to places that don't generally have them, the community is that much more appreciative," she said.
There were even some items available for the health-conscious and those on vegan or gluten-free diets, such as rice-stuffed grape leaves from Canton-based The Chubby Chickpea.
As for the nutritional content of the fried Oreo?
Mr. Roy said, "It's called, 'You don't want to know.' "

S-Jax was hurt last year. I'm not buying his NFL legs are done. Guy is a physical beast.
Well you the know the difference bwtween a journalist and a columnist is? a Journallist is supposed to give the exact facts with no Bias what so ever. A columnist on the other hand its his colum, he can be as biased as much as he wants. Why I wish Sports people would quit calling themselves Analylists because they are some of the most biased fucks in the world. lol :)Aftermath said:
only thing worse than talking heads and sports "journalists" are politicians.

I also believe SJax will be fine this year. Last year was bad for everyone. Redeveloped oline and healthy receivers will create that needed hole to run through.

He hasn't been signed by anybody yet has he? Too much money when we got so many picks and theres got to be a cheap fast back we could grab in the draft, or Antoine Smith.

Talons offer deal to QB Garcia
The San Antonio Talons have made a contract offer to quarterback Aaron Garcia but have not received a reply from the veteran player, executive vice president Keith Recine said. The team has through today to hold exclusive free-agent negotiations with players on its roster at the end of the last season.
"The ball's in his court," Recine said of Garcia, the Arena Football League's all-time passing leader. "Now it comes down to, 'Does Aaron want to be here?'"
San Antonio did re-sign fullback Chad "Tank" Cook for two years and defensive back Eric Crocker for another season, Recine announced. Beginning sometime later this week, pending a final AFL decision, franchises can begin seeking free-agent deals with available players throughout the league.

[This is a submission for Jasia's 100th Edition of the Carnival of Genealogy hosted on her blog Creative Gene. This is also a second installment to my "They Had Balls" series, which I hadn't planned on making a series, but everyone seemed to like it. So here goes...]
I was all set to talk about the ancestor who was surrounded by a whole bunch of really upset people who had fire in hand when another ancestor started squawking about how I never talk about him. "Was he not good enough? " he asked. "Was his story not captivating enough?
[See? I told you on a good day I can't get some dead people to shut up.]
Anywho, this particular ancestor went on and on at 3am this morning. Then he proclaimed that if his story couldn't captivate y'all, then no one's story could because, after all, he was a pirate. [That's right. A pirate.] And that he didn't brave the high seas and defy nations just so everyone could forget him. And that if he had wanted to be forgotten, he would've just been a candle maker. [His words, not mine.]
[Sigh.] Between you, me, and the gate post, some ancestors are really high maintenance. And I should've guessed this one was when I met the man ~ Captain Edmund du Chastell de Blangerval. See what I mean? High. Maintenance.
And I don't even know for sure if he really is mine. I mean, his story took place such a long time ago, but I think I can make a pretty good circumstantial case that we are indeed related with tax rolls, militia rolls, land records, and wills. I even tracked all the possible family members with the last name Casteel (which is what the Captain's last name ended up evolving to) through 1840 on a digital map using Family Atlas software. And barring any male siblings along the way who managed to not leave a paper trail of some kind, I think the Captain is my 8th great-grandfather.
And why would I go to so much trouble? Well, I think all ancestor's stories are worth the trouble, but we're talking about a pirate here. Yes. A pirate. How cool is that? [Aargh!]
So before I feed the Captain's ego any more, let's get to his story.
The Captain's recollections of his beginnings are rather fuzzy. In his defense he says, "Who could blame me? It happened a long time ago. Before my pirate gig." And he's right. It's rumored that he was born in about 1668 in Kent, England and that his Flemish family fled to there because of their Huguenot status. It sounds a bit "romantic" to me, but hey, he's a pirate. And I haven't made it across the pond research-wise because I have my own Captain identification problems over here to sort out.
Here's what I do know about him. He married a woman by the name of Christian VanBon (which later evolved into Bonde). And what kind of woman married a soon-to-be pirate? I dunno. Probably some one with a whole lot of patience and faith, I would guess. Also, she'd have to be able to handle the household by herself for long stretches of time. At least she had her parents nearby there in Philadelphia.
To be fair to the Captain, though, he wasn't always known as a pirate. He was more of a merchant and privateer. And the difference between a pirate and a privateer? Privateers owned and ran armed ships and they had a commission from the government to use these ships against nations and to capture merchant ships. So. Government-sanctioned hired guns.
And a pirate? Non-government-sanctioned hired guns who have gone rogue, or at the very least, they're working for the enemy.
How did the Captain become known as a pirate? Well, we only have one written reference to him being called a pirate. When Captain Thomas Robinson came from England to report back to the Earl of Romney in 1697, he says there were warrants out for the arrest of some men, including our one and only Edmund du Castell. He also complained to the Earl that these men were cocky "pyrates" who walked around Philadelphia liked they owned the place and no one seemed to care. [I'm paraphrasing. Obviously.]
Well, duh. Of course they were cocky. Who would want an indecisive pirate or privateer, right? For goodness sakes, look at both job descriptions. Would you really want someone who couldn't make a decision or someone who wasn't sure of one's self or their abilities to seek out and take over hostile ships with deadly force? Of course not. Personally, I want my pirate to bring his "A-game".
And I think Queen Anne wanted her pirate, um, I mean privateer, to bring his "A-game" to her war in 1702. The sloop Resolution was outfitted for the one and only Captain Edmund du Chastell, and he went about doing what he did best under a Letter of Marque from Queen Anne.
So, pirate or privateer? I would imagine he was a little of both depending on whose payroll he was on.
Either way, he had balls. No two ways about it.
And Stephen Talty in his book, Empire of Blue Water, [which is a fantastic read about the life and times of Captain Morgan] explains how Captain Morgan's pirate ships would hunker down and wait out a hurricane while at sea.
Excuse me? Wait out a hurricane?
On a ship in the middle of the sea?
A wooden ship? [Shiver me timbers.]
Oh, and there was the time in 1701 when Captain Edmund was so sick in Barbados, that he had his ship's physician help him with making his will. He was that sick. Not to mention far away from home. Could you imagine? In that time period? Yet, a year later he was working for Queen Anne.
No doubt. The Captain had balls.
But he wasn't the only one who had them.
Christian, his wife, had some pretty big ones herself. I would imagine she had a few sleepless nights while her Captain was out working. Out making "it" happen on the high seas.
And I bet some days she wished the Captain had just been a candle maker.

The Creepiest Twins on Film
Iconic British production studio Hammer Films rose to fame for their gothic horror films in the 1970s that featured titans of terror like Christopher Lee and Peter Cushing as vamps and slayers duking it out.
After Hammer's first two movies in their Karnstein Trilogy — loosely based on J. Sheridan Le Fanu's early vampire novella, Carmilla — Hammer set their sites on real-life twin Playboy Playmates Mary and Madeleine Collinson for part three. Twins of Evil arrives on Blu-ray today, and tells the story of sisters — one naughty, the other nice — that become seduced by a vampiric Count and grow a few fangs of their own.
Hammer's raven-haired double threat weren't the first on film to frighten audiences. Visit several other creepy movie twins after the jump.
You can't talk about creepy cinematic twins and not discuss The Shining's Grady sisters, who terrorized the telepathic Danny Torrance in Stanley Kubrick's 1980 film. Lisa and Louise Burns played the ghostly identical siblings, who appear merely as sisters in Stephen King's 1977 novel of the same name. Kubrick made the characters famous, however. The filmmaker denied that Diane Arbus' famous photo Identical Twins, Roselle, New Jersey, 1967 was a deliberate influence, but the resemblance is interesting.

Poker Hands Ranked from Highest to Lowest
|Royal Flush
A straight from a ten to an ace with all five cards of the same suit. In poker all suits are ranked equally.
|Straight Flush
Any straight with all five cards of the same suit.
|Four of a Kind
Any four cards of the same rank. If two players share the same Four of a Kind (on the board), the bigger fifth card (the "kicker") decides who wins the pot.
|Full House
Any three cards of the same rank together with any two cards of the same rank. Our example shows "Aces full of Kings" and it is a bigger full house than "Kings full of Aces."
Any five cards of the same suit (not consecutive). The highest card of the five determines the rank of the flush. Our example shows an Ace-high flush, which is the highest possible.
Any five consecutive cards of different suits. Aces can count as either a high or a low card. Our example shows a five-high straight, which is the lowest possible straight.
|Three of a Kind
Any three cards of the same rank. Our example shows three-of-a-kind Aces, with a King and a Queen as side cards - the best possible three of a kind.
|Two Pair
Any two cards of the same rank together with another two cards of the same rank. Our example shows the best possible two-pair, Aces and Kings. The highest pair of the two determines the rank of the two-pair.
|One Pair
Any two cards of the same rank. Our example shows the best possible one-pair hand.
|High Card
Any hand not in the above-mentioned hands. Our example shows the best possible high-card hand.

Poker Hand Rankings Explained
Poker Hand Rankings FAQ

Does a straight beat a flush?
No. This is one of the most common misconceptions in poker. In Texas Holdem a flush (five cards of the same suit) always beats a straight (five cards in a numeric sequence). A straight-flush, which is five cards of the same suit in consecutive order, beats both hands.
What's better -- Two Pair or Three of a Kind?
Three-of-a-kind always beats two-pair. The only "made" poker hand that two-pair beats is one pair.
Does "All Reds" or "All Blacks" beat a straight?
"All Reds" or "All Blacks" doesn't beat/mean anything in poker. To make a flush in poker you have to have five cards of the same SUIT. That means five spades, hearts, clubs or diamonds. Having all one color is not a poker hand.
Does it matter if I have higher flush cards?
It does. In No-Limit Hold'em if you have a flush with an ace as the highest card and your opponent has a flush with a king as the high card, you win. The easiest way to understand who wins is to lay out your complete five-card hand and compare it with your opponent's hand. If anyone has a higher card, that person wins (obviously you both share the cards on the board).
Which suit is ranked the highest?
In poker, suits don't count. Spades aren't better than hearts, clubs aren't higher than diamonds, etc. If you have the same hand as your opponent but in different suits then you simply split the pot. This misconception is from other games where suits do matter.
Are Poker Hand Rankings different for other poker games?
Actually, yes. For the main poker variations - Texas Hold'em, Pot-Limit Omaha, Seven-Card Stud, 5-Card Draw - hand rankings are the same. But for split games - Omaha Hi-Lo, Stud Hi-Lo - half of the pot is awarded to the lowest hand. For lowball games like 2-7 Triple Draw and Razz only the lowest hand will win the pot. Straights and flushes don't count in Razz while in 2-7 they actually count against you.
See the proper hand rankings for Razz Poker here.
Which are the poker hand rankings for 3-Card Poker?
3-Card Poker is a casino table game and, while it does have the name "poker' in its title, it isn't exactly the same game. The poker hand rankings used are the same as in standard poker variations with a major exception - straights and flushes are reversed. That means in 3-Card Poker a straight BEATS a flush. See the full rules for 3-Card Poker here.
What do I beat if I have 3 Pairs?
Absolutely nothing. You just use your two highest pairs. There is no such thing as "3-pair" in poker.
Is there a difference between Trips and a Set? Which is better?
Trips and a set are the same hand: Three-of-a-kind. The difference is how you acquire three-of-a-kind. A set is made when your pocket pair hits one card on the board.
Trips are made when you utilize two cards on the board and one in your hand to make three-of-a-kind. Because they are much easier to conceal when betting, sets are generally considered the better hand.
What if there's a straight on the board?
You chop the pot. That's provided that no player has a better hand (flush or higher) or someone has a higher straight using the cards in their hand.
What's a Four-Flush?
A four-flush is when you use four cards of the same suit on the board and one from your hand to complete a flush. It's worth noting this is one of the key differences between No-Limit Hold'em and Pot-Limit Omaha. In PLO you have to use two of your cards so you can't have a four-flush.
What if I have the same pair as my opponent?
If both players have the same pair, the highest non-matched cards (the "kicker') are compared to determine the winner. If both players have the same high card, the next highest cards are compared. If both players have the exact same pair AND the exact same kicker cards, the pot is split..
Get Bonus
Can you make a Straight with 4-3-2-A-K?
No. While the ace can make both the lowest straight (A-2-3-4-5) and the highest straight (A-K-Q-J-10) it can't wrap around.
Does my 3-3-3-A-A Full House beat my opponent's 8-8-8-K-K?
Nope. When it comes to full houses the highest of the three-of-a-kinds determines the winner. In the example above the full house with three 8s tops the full house with three 3s.
Who wins with Four-of-a-Kind on the board?
The player with the highest kicker. For instance if the board is 8-8-8-8-5, you have A-K and your opponent has K-Q, you win. (Your best five-card hand is 8-8-8-8-A, his is 8-8-8-8-K).
If the board was 8-8-8-8-A you'd split the pot as the best five-card hand for both of you is 8-8-8-8-A.
What's the difference Between Four-of-a-Kind and "Quads"?
Nothing. They're exactly the same hand.

Player1 bet 40 chips
Player2 bets 40 chips
player3 only had 10 chips and goes all-in
Does this mean player3 is playing for 30 chips and the 30 chips goes into the main pot and player 1 and 2 are playing for 60 chips and this goes into a side pot?
player3 wins and takes main pot
player2 has secondy best hand and takes 60 chips
if player 2 didnt have secondy best hand would he get 30 chips and the other 30 chips will go to player 1?
Sean Lind,
Phil Ivey vs Stu Ungar head 2 head... ur winning recommendation?
p.s i asked this question before:
In texas hold em No Limit if i have 5100 chips and other player has 5000 we both go all in and the other player wins will i get 100 chips back since he beat only 5000 and i beat 5100.
But will i also get 100 chips back in "pot limit" texas hold em.
Thank You. :O)
All five cards of you hand count:
Player A has 2-2-A-K-9
Player B has 2-2-A-9-7
So Player A wins
player A have A K, player B have A 6 on the flop come up 7,2 9 and turn and river is 2 and 3, no flush combinations possible. my question is who wins or is it split pot
If at anytime you're found with a number of cards above or below the correct amount (I.E 3 cards in Hold'em), it's considered a fouled hand.
You hand is killed, and you forfeit the pot, and all the money you put into it, no exceptions.
At the end of a game, if a player wins, then finds he has three cards (1 card was stuck to the back of another) - what happens to that player? Does he have to muck and who wins the pot?
gena lewis,
Your hand - You have a pair of kings: KK765
His hand - He has two pair, kings and nines KK994
He wins.

In our new column called Late-Model Spotlight, we thought we would start off by using a car that we actually had the opportunity to drive. When we got a phone call asking if wanted to drive the new Speedfactory SF600R, we couldn't get to Atlanta, fast enough. To say we simply drove this car may be an understatement. Sure, driving the car in traffic shows it to be as docile as a stock Challenger can be, but when the opportunity arises, it becomes an entirely different animal–literally.
While driving in traffic around Atlanta, Georgia, we weren't sure that we were even driving a modified car, which is what Eddie Rosa of Speedfactory told us that they were trying to do. The car idles almost like a stocker, but with a small cam lope. From red light to red light, it's like driving any other new car, but when you get the chance to remove yourself–and the car, from the congestion of traffic, it's amazing how un-docile this car can get.
It doesn't take long for the SF600R to prove that the technology exists to own a daily driver that can develop 600 horses, AND meet all emissions standards for all 50 states. And don't let its modified condition deter you from owning a car like this. Speedfactory delivers all their cars with warranties, so your new car is as protected as it ever was. When asked if we could recommend this car to anyone, our response is simply "get in and TRY to give us a good reason not to"!

DENVER, Jan. 3 (UPI) -- J.J. Barea's 3-pointer gave Minnesota a six-point lead heading into the final 2 minutes Thursday and the Timberwolves held on to defeat Denver 101-97.
Minnesota, coming off a thumping by Utah the night before, climbed above the .500 mark by handing the Nuggets only their second home loss of the season.
The game was deadlocked when Luke Ridnour put the Timberwolves in front for good with a 3-pointer that came with 2:43 remaining. After a miss by the Nuggets, Barea added his 3-point shot that boosted the Minnesota lead to 97-91.
Denver came no closer than three points the rest of the way.
Both Barea and Alexey Shved scored 17 points. Ridnour and Andrei Kirilenko had 14 each. Kevin Love scored 12 points to go with 17 rebounds. Minnesota claimed 17 offensive boards.
Kosta Koufos and Ty Lawson both delivered 16 points for the Nuggets, whose only other home loss this season came against Miami on Nov. 15. Denver has played 10 more games on the road than it has at home.

Video: Albuquerque officer shot at suspect 8 times
ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (AP) — An Albuquerque police officer shot at a suspected carjacker eight times as the man backed away then turned and ran to escape, newly released police video shows.
The footage released Monday calls into question a previous police account of the incident contained in a criminal complaint. It says witnesses told police that suspect Joaquin Ortega threatened Officer Brian Pitzer with a handgun and was shot as he turned toward the officer.
Ortega is not seen holding a gun in the video taken by Pitzer's lapel camera. However, police said a handgun was found between two cars along the route where Ortega fled.
The video was released by the Albuquerque Police Department as it faces a U.S. Justice Department investigation over several high-profile abuse cases and three dozen shootings since 2010.
It was sought months ago by media outlets in public information requests concerning the wounding of the 34-year-old Ortega in the October 2013 chase.
Police spokesman Tasia Martinez did not return phone calls seeking comment about the video.
The shooting was Pitzer's third in six and a-half years with the department, authorities said.
The footage shows Pitzer arriving at a muffler shop after getting a report that a woman and her 7-year-old grandson had been robbed of $15 at gunpoint by a man who then tried to carjack a truck. The video shows Pitzer spotting Ortega, drawing his gun and yelling, "Let's see your hands now! Let's see your hands now, dude!"
As Pitzer approaches, Ortega is shown running between the two cars as Pitzer fires his weapon. Ortega keeps running and Pitzer shoots again. Ortega is seen stopping and falling on a sidewalk.
It's not clear how many times Ortega was shot. He has pleaded not guilty to a number of charges, including aggravated assault on a police officer.
Reporters requested the video after then-Interim Police Chief Allen Banks displayed a still image from the lapel camera that he said showed that Ortega turned toward the officer with a gun.
Banks had refused to release the footage and told reporters he wasn't going to try the case in the media.
The department recently hired a new police chief, former New Mexico Public Safety Secretary Gorden Eden, who has vowed to review the department's policies and leadership structure.
On Monday, Albuquerque city councilors passed a resolution opposing the planned filming of the reality show "Cops" around the city over fears it would further tarnish the city's image. The resolution asked Bernalillo County Sheriff Dan Houston to reconsider his recent decision to allow the Spike TV show to film deputies in April.

TABOR: Restrictive Tax Limit Curbs Economic Mobility in Colorado
TABOR: How It Started
In 1992, Colorado voters approved the Taxpayer's Bill of Rights, a constitutional amendment designed to restrain growth in government. It took the acronym TABOR, which has extra meaning in Colorado, as some of the state's history was shaped by the famous mining baron of the late 1800s, Horace W. Tabor.
Related: Understanding TABOR: The First Steps
TABOR applies to all levels of government in Colorado: state government, cities, counties, school districts, and special districts. It is the most restrictive tax and spending limitation in the country.
Passage came at the start of nearly a decade of record economic growth in Colorado, the Rocky Mountain region and the country. During those years, TABOR limited the amount of revenue governments could collect and spend. Taxpayers received refunds on their state income taxes, and mill levies were suppressed to prevent governments from collecting too much in property tax.
TABOR Reform
Some local governments found TABOR's restrictions too constraining, and hundreds of cities, counties, school districts, and special districts successfully appealed to voters over the years for a partial reprieve from some TABOR provisions.
With the recession of 2001-2003, the negative impacts of TABOR became apparent. Tax revenues fell and the state government only had a 4 percent cushion to fall back on. Lawmakers were forced to make budget cuts, accounting for hundreds of millions of dollars.
Related: 10 Years of TABOR
By 2005, Colorado's economy made strong gains, but the measure's ratchet effect prevented the state government from using the growing revenues to restore vital programs. That year, legislators and former Gov. Bill Owens crafted a bipartisan budget compromise to give Colorado's state government a five-year timeout from TABOR's revenue and spending limits. Following the voter approval requirements in TABOR, they referred the measure, called Referendum C, to the state's voters. It was approved in the November 2005 election.
While most states operate with some tax or spending limits, TABOR is the most restrictive in the country. Some believe this restraint is necessary; the argument is smaller government is always better, and authority for making decisions about the level of taxation and spending should rest exclusively with voters.
Related: Fiscal Prospects After Referendum C
Philosophically, these arguments are appealing. Everyone wants efficient government and a role in how our money is spent. At the same time, most of us would agree effective government must be responsive to changing economic conditions and the needs of society and its citizens.
Under TABOR, Coloradans have had an unprecedented opportunity to set state fiscal policy through the ballot box. Also under the measure, state government has grown only slightly.
Related: Projected TABOR Rebates in 8 Charts
But our research also points to structural flaws in the amendment that have seriously impaired the state's ability to set budgetary and program priorities and respond to crises, as evidenced during the recession of 2001-2003. In short, TABOR has created a state government that is hamstrung by inflexible rules, making it unresponsive and less effective.
The Bell's research experts spent years studying the impact of TABOR on Colorado's budget and its programs, particularly those in place to increase opportunity for Colorado residents. The result was a pair of highly acclaimed reports that set the stage for the success of Ref C and for permanent budget reform.

Three weeks ago, I had the pleasure to visit one branch of my extended family and BMW Welt (BMW World), the "multi-functional customer experience and exhibition facility of the BMW AG, located in Munich, Germany." Supposedly, BMW Welt is the second most popular tourist destination around Munich, after Neuschwanstein Castle which inspired Disneylands' Sleeping Beauty Castle. If you like architecture or cars, you should visit BMW Welt.
OK, but this is the Operations Room, so what else is worth knowing? It turns out that this month, BMW starts selling in Germany its long-awaited i3 (the USA will have to wait until 2014) and here's some personal pictures to highlight three aspects:

DETROIT (AP) ? An expansive plan to merge two southeastern Michigan health systems into a single, $6.4 billion nonprofit organization with 10 hospitals has fizzled out.
DETROIT (AP) ? An expansive plan to merge two southeastern Michigan health systems into a single, $6.4 billion nonprofit organization with 10 hospitals has fizzled out.
Detroit-based Henry Ford Health System trustees voted to end discussions with Beaumont Health System in Royal Oak, Henry Ford chief executive Nancy Schlichting told staff Tuesday in an email.
Henry Ford trustees will let the letter of intent with Beaumont expire at week's end.
"This decision was made because it became apparent that two very different perspectives had emerged for the new organization between Henry Ford and Beaumont," Schlichting wrote. "As a result, many of the foundational elements in the letter of intent, including preserving two academic medical centers in Detroit and Royal Oak, were no longer supported by some leaders at Beaumont."
Henry Ford employs about 24,000 people and operates seven hospitals. It also operates Health Alliance Plan, a health maintenance and insurance organization.
Beaumont has 14,000 full-time equivalent employees and operates three hospitals.
Tenets for a model health care system were developed by Beaumont's board and management team, who then started a search 18 months ago for a partner, Beaumont said Tuesday evening in a statement.
The letter of intent to merge was signed Oct. 30 with Henry Ford.
"We have benefited greatly from our merger discussions and have great respect for our colleagues at Henry Ford," Beaumont Health System President and CEO Gene Michalski said. "However, we found through our discussions that we are not aligned on how to achieve our vision for a model health system due to differences in our structures and business models."
When announcing the planned merger in October, the systems said it was driven by big changes to the health care industry, including declining reimbursement for care and a shift away from treatment at traditional hospitals.
They were to have kept their names and medical staffs and would have remained independent. The combined organization would have had a new name, and it would have been led by a single board with equal representation from both systems.
Their foundations also would have been combined.
Schlichting said the $4.5 billion Henry Ford Health System has had 10 straight years of positive revenue growth and net income.

Icahn to Fight Yahoo to Accept Microsoft BidBy Reuters - | Posted 2008-05-15 Print
Investor Carl Icahn thinks Yahoo needs to revisit the Microsoft offer, and is trying to force his influence.
NEW YORK (Reuters) - Financier Carl Icahn on Thursday launched a proxy battle to force Yahoo Inc to reopen buyout talks with Microsoft Corp, saying the Yahoo board had acted "irrationally" in refusing its $47.5 billion offer.
Icahn harshly criticized Yahoo for the breakdown in talks, saying he accumulated 59 million shares and options in Yahoo and assembled a 10-member dissident board slate for election at Yahoo's annual meeting on July 3.
"It is clear to me that the board of directors of Yahoo has acted irrationally and lost the faith of shareholders and Microsoft," Icahn wrote in an open letter to Roy Bostock, Yahoo chairman. "It is obvious that Microsoft's bid of $33 per share is a superior alternative than Yahoo's prospects on a stand alone basis."
But the New York-based billionaire left the door open for a settlement instead of a full-blown proxy battle, where both sides typically spend millions of dollars and unleash a barrage of negative charges against each other. He urged Yahoo to "move expeditiously to negotiate a merger with Microsoft, thereby making a proxy fight unnecessary."
The move came just two weeks after Microsoft walked away from three-month talks to buy Yahoo in a bid to catapult it into a top provider of on-line commerce and services. But Microsoft's final $33-per-share offer wasn't enough to sway Yahoo CEO and co-founder Jerry Yang, who wanted $37 per share.
Yahoo shares traded up on the news, which was well flagged in recent days. Shares were recently trading up 34 cents to $27.48, up 1.25 percent on Nasdaq.
One analyst said Yang will face a rougher road dealing with Icahn, a blunt-spoken veteran financier known for bare-knuckle takeover tactics, than Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer.
"If Jerry Yang had a tough time dealing with Steve, wait till he meets Carl Icahn," said Colin Gillis, a Canaccord Adams analyst.
A bigger threat, said Gillis, is whether Microsoft is willing to come back to the table. "It's not clear that he has a buyer. We think that Microsoft has really walked away."
"This is a damaged goods deal. There's been a lot of negative opinion expressed about this on both sides. For a deal of this magnitude to work, you need broad support on both sides."
Icahn's slate of nominees includes himself, Frank Biondi, a former Viacom Inc chief, and Keith Meister, vice chairman of Icahn Enterprises.
Mark Cuban, Dallas Mavericks basketball team owner and co-founder of cable network HDNet is also on Icahn's slate. Cuban is also familiar with Yahoo's negotiating style after he sold Broadcast.com to Yahoo in 1999 for about $5 billion.
Other nominees include Lucian Bebchuk, professor of law, economics and finance at Harvard Law School; John Chapple, president of Hawkeye Investments; and telecoms industry veteran and former chief executive of Nextel Partners; Adam Dell, managing partner of Impact Venture Partners; Edward Meyer, CEO of Ocean Road Advisors and former CEO of advertising firm Grey Global Group; Brian Posner, a former CEO of ClearBridge Advisors LLC; and Robert Shaye, the former co-CEO of Time Warner Inc's New Line Cinema.
Icahn also disclosed in the letter that he sought antitrust clearance from the U.S. Federal Trade Commission to acquire up to about $2.5 billion worth of Yahoo stock.
