"You have been incapacitated by misadventure"
My Guardian kept receiving the "You have been incapacitated by misadventure" in the acid wing in the Tower. However, I did not have any hits from rising acid in my combat log (yes, I rechecked the combat entries). I was jumping, running around, and still was taken out with two shots (from apparently nothing).
Anyone else experience this, or am I seemingly bugged.

Did you get killed by dread?

You can't be killed by dread. At 10 dread, your morale will be just 20% max. At 15 dread (which is virtually impossible) you will have 1% morale.

Might be lag-enhanced falling damage.
Falling damage in LOTRO is not determined by distance travelled but by time spent in the air. You can lag while jumping down a small step on the floor and if the lag time is long enough, you die from misadventure at the bottom of the 6 inch drop. (True, you can die in RL by tripping on the sidewalk and hitting your head, but most of in LOTRO are wearing protective gear.)
Just a guess, mind you, but if things were a bit laggy in Acid Wing, and your morale was reduced by some dread and maybe combat too, then this is a possibility.Cener, Ingo, Rilibald, Hesred, Halras

It is possible to be killed by dread in the tower. If your elf npc dies, you die from massive dread.
Also it is possible to be killed by the acid green water.

Equity Curve
Definition of 'Equity Curve'A graphical representation of the change in value of a trading account over a time period. An equity curve with a consistently positive slope would generally indicate that the trading strategies of the account are profitable, while a negative slope would indicate that the account is in the red. |
Investopedia explains 'Equity Curve'Since it presents performance data in graphical form, an equity curve is ideal for providing a quick analysis of how a strategy has performed. Also, multiple equity curves can be used to assess various trading strategies in terms of performance and risk. |

That's because we have been successfully designing, manufacturing and installing windows, doors, conservatories and roofline products for thousands of customers for more than 40 years.

And with our Price Promise, all this peace of mind is offered at prices giving you exceptional value for money.
Energy Saving UPVC Products
Install John Williams double glazing and you can significantly improve the energy efficiency of your home, reduce your carbon footprint and save money on heating bills.
John Williams windows are A- rated as standard - the highest energy efficiency rating in the industry.
According to the BFRC you could be losing heat, and therefore money, if your home is single glazed or your double glazing was installed before April 2002. By installing John Williams double glazed windows you can trap the heat and save energy, reducing your energy bills by more than £400 a year.
Reduce heat-loss and minimise draughts, and you'll be less reliant on artificial heating. Having your heating on less often or at a lower temperature reduces the amount of fossil fuels needed to heat your home, so less carbon dioxide goes into the atmosphere.
We offer energy saving glass technology including coated low emissivity glass. It reflects heat back into your home so you don't have to use as much heating to stay warm.
The John Williams after sales service is the best in the business. We take the care and have the commitment to ensure it stays that way, to give you complete peace of mind. We're proud when we receive letters from satisfied customers, endorsing our approach to manufacture, installation and after sales service.
Following are a few examples of letters from satisfied customers over the years.
" I was looking for new windows for my home. Double glazing salesman can be tricky but not so at John Williams. I wanted a company that I could trust, that means confidence, reliability, a company I can believe in and have implicit faith in, John Williams is that company. I was worrying about after sales service, I need not have worried, and you need not worry either. I have trusted John Williams, so can you."
Beata Brookes, CBE.
Ex Chairman of Welsh Consumer Council
" Can I take this opportunity to say how pleased mum and I have been with our new windows? We have felt much warmer since they were fitted. How nice they look too! I need to praise your installation team too. They have been so professional, efficient, clean and well mannered. Reliable and a credit to the company. Thank you again.
I have been impressed with every aspect – from sales, engineering, fitters and in the honesty of the company. I have recommended John Williams too many already. Thank you. Diolch yn fawr iawn. Stella Edwards."
Stella and Megan Edwards
" My husband and I were apprehensive about installing anything other than hardwood windows in our barn conversion. However, we are extremely pleased with the windows recently installed at our home. Every member of staff that we dealt with from the sales negotiator to the fitter were professional and very well trained, and we were particularly impressed with the fine quality of the fitting, neat and clean and tidy with no mess! Our initial apprehension has turned into a conviction that we have made the right decision in choosing your window design. Time will also hopefully confirm our decision! And our barn will hopefully be much warmer this winter. Please thank all your staff for their excellent service."
Mrs Brace-Girdle
" Following completion of a substantial installation at my home recently, I feel compelled to write to you regarding the installation team.
Whilst the job of installing 15 windows and a front door was substantial within the allowed timescales, I am writing to express my appreciation, as well as that of my wife, for the high standard of work carried out together with the excellent customer care skills displayed in explaining to us in simple terms what some of the pre-existing windows illustrated as challenges due to previous faulty fitting and how these would be rectified.
The installation team should be commended for their work and positive and helpful attitude.
I certainly will be recommending your company to my friends in the coming months.
Thank you for the highly satisfaction production, delivery and installation of the agreed units."
J P Williams
North Wales

Getting A CPA
Getting a CPA license is a prerequisite for anyone wishing to be a public accountant. If you are going to take it, there are a few things you should keep in mind.
Training and State Requirements
There are similarities in the board requirements. But each state has its own regulations for granting the license. It may depend on whether you just want to practice in the state or if you want to do it elsewhere.
Take California for example. If you want to practice in the state only, you'll need a bachelor's degree and 24 semester units in accounting related studies. You'll also need another 24 units in business oriented subjects.
You must pass the Uniform CPA Exam and the ethics course. Two years of accounting experience is also needed. This must be with supervision from a CPA.
If you're interested in getting a CPA license that will let you work in another state, you'll need 225 quarter units or 150 semester units of education. This is besides the bachelor's degree and the 24 units each for business and accounting.
It's necessary to pass the Uniform CPA Exam. A year of experience in general accounting is required. This must be supervised by a licensed CPA. The ethics course must be passed as well. This is just for California. Other states may have similar or different rules. It's best to conduct some research.
CPA Course Programs
The course programs will help you in getting a CPA license. These courses vary a great deal. Their contents and duration will not be the same. Given the large number available, it's best to do some research first. You can post in forums to get recommendations. You can also ask someone who has had experience here.
Whatever school you choose, finishing the course is the goal. The completion time required depends on the course itself. Ideally you should try to complete it as early as possible. Once you pass the course, you'll have plenty of options.
A licensed CPA is qualified to do everything from auditing to financial analysis. Pay usually starts at $50,000 so it can be rewarding financially as well.
Training Tips
Of course getting a CPA license and the training won't be easy. There are many options to choose from. You can go online and see scores of services available. If you want to make the most of your
future career, this step is necessary.
Most classes are now conducted online. This is easier and more convenient as you don't have to travel. If you don't know how to use a computer, it's best to start learning before taking the test.
The software used is also different, so getting familiar with it is vital. Even though there are some traditional classes, online study is becoming the standard.
Training doesn't stop with the license. You'll need continuing education to harness your skills. There are several courses available that can help in this aspect too.
While getting a CPA license is hard, it can be a fruitful career. In due time, all the hard work will pay off.

I am so excited and honored to be an emcee on Monday evening for K-Tech Kleening's Central Wisconsin Pink Ribbon Open.
K-Tech Charities hosts the Pink Ribbon Open every year to raise money to help women from Central Wisconsin facing financial hardships after breast cancer treatment. This money is meant to help these women and their families with their day to day living expenses not to pay their medical bills.
I am so honored to be a part of this event because in August last year my best friend found out she had stage 2 breast cancer. She was only 32 years old! She is the mother of 2 young sons, 5 and 2. She was working full time when she was diagnosed, but was unable to continue working her strenuous and often stressful job while she was going through treatments. She needed to undergo 12 weeks of chemo, a double mastectomy and had to have all her lymphnodes removed in her left arm and some removed from her right. Unfortunately they decided that even after all this she needed to have 6 weeks of radiation. Her disability checks and her husbands paychecks just weren't enough for them to be able to keep up with all their bills. During her chemo she was so sick she was unable to care for her 2 year old son while her husband was working so they were forced to continue to pay for daycare 2 to 3 days per week. They had 2 car payments so they gave up one car. They owned a home and with all the medical bills coming in and having to pay all the regular utility bills while also paying for the extra gas to travel between Wisconsin Rapids and Stevens Point for treatments they couldn't keep up with their mortgage and ended up losing their home of 11 years to the bank last month. She finished her last round of radiation 2 weeks ago and hopefully soon will be able to move ahead with her reconstructive surgery. They did find a nice house to rent so things are starting to look up a bit, but they are still neck deep in bills that they aren't sure they'll ever be able to catch up on. Even through all of this she has been a trooper. She has maintained a positive attitude and even though some days she felt like the fight was too hard for her to handle she made it through with a smile.
The finanical hardships these women face go far beyond the unbelievable medical bills. It's nice that K-Tech Charities understands that. They are happy to give these women money to help them and their families survive more than just the cancer.
On Monday big hearted people who may or may not know someone who has been effected by breast cancer take to the course at Wausau Country Club to help raise money to support the amazing work of K-Tech Charities.
The recipients of the K-Tech Charities breast cancer grants will be at the banquet to follow the golf outing. These women are invited to the event, but they will be surprised to find out how much money they'll be given. The recipients will have a chance to share their stories and thank those who made it possible.
If you want to be part of the event contact K-Tech. If you're not a golfer you can purchase tickets for only the dinner to follow and support the event through silent auctions.
You can also support the Pink Ribbon Open by purchasing a "Because We Care" breast cancer awareness pin. Each pin is $10 and all the proceeds go to helping find a cure for cancer. Help support local survivors and get yours today! Call Megan (715)355-1369 or email: firstname.lastname@example.com. Pin picture at the top of this blog.

Austin Rivers, Anthony Davis to learn Hornets system
Whirlwind tour over; time for Rivers, Davis to learn Hornets system
Advocate sportswriter
July 15, 2012
"I'm doing this for a living now, and I have to make sure I'm ready at all times." Anthony DAvis, New Orleans Hornets forward
NEW ORLEANS — Anthony Davis began the week as the toast of New York when he arrived as the anticipated No. 1 overall pick in the NBA draft.
The former Kentucky forward was the center of attention when he officially became a New Orleans Hornet as the draft got under way Thursday night.
He and new teammate Austin Rivers, the Duke guard whom the Hornets selected nine spots after Davis, were whisked to the Crescent City on new owner Tom Benson's private jet Friday morning. They made a cameo appearance at veteran forward Jason Smith's basketball camp before being introduced at a noon press conference inside the New Orleans Arena.
"It's been a whirlwind," Davis said. "I need to get some sleep. I'm working on about 30 minutes' sleep. It's all been fun, and I'm trying to take it all in. I'm ready to get back in the gym and start working on learning the system. It's going to take a lot of hard work, but I'm prepared for it."
Hornets coach Monty Williams said he was prepared to put Davis and Rivers on the practice court Friday, but pushed it back a day "because they've had so much going on."
He joked that Friday might have been "the last day they like me" once they see how hard he'll work them.
"They need to understand how hard we work," Williams said. "Nobody really knows how hard we work because I've seen guys come here, and after their first practice, they say, 'Gosh, these guys are nuts.' I want them to get over that right away and start to learn our signals.
"We talk a lot about guys respecting the game and respecting the way we want to play. We felt we had to bring in guys who fit that, guys who come from championship programs and are willing to put up with a two-hour practice when we're playing the next day, guys who understand the kind of intensity they have to have. Yet these guys are young and it's going to take a while before they understand what they need to do."
Williams said he'll have Smith and veteran forward Lance Thomas on hand to work with the two rookies.
"It'll be good to have those two guys," Williams said. "They know what to do and when you watch guys doing it, it's a lot easier to learn."
Davis won't be staying long though because he's due in Las Vegas on Thursday to participate in tryouts for the U.S. Olympic team. If Davis makes the Olympic team, he'll miss the Summer League season, which Williams and General Manager Dell Demps said would be fine with them.
"Any time (you) have a chance to represent your country, I think it's great," Demps said. "It doesn't happen very often."
Davis said he never expected to have an opportunity to perhaps play in the Olympics before he plays in his first NBA game, and the experience will be worthwhile whether he makes the final cut or not.
Team USA is coached by Rivers' college coach, Duke's Mike Krzyzewski.
"It's a great opportunity to get an edge playing with the superstars in this league," Davis said. "It's a great opportunity for me to see things I've never seen before. I can't wait to get down there and meet coach K and play with guys who have already played in the league and made a name for themselves.
"I want to see how they work out, what they do before a game, what they do after a game, how they take care of their bodies, what they eat. They're there for a reason. They're the best players in the NBA, and I want to become one of them."
Davis (6-foot-11, 235 pounds) said one of his first priorities is "getting bigger and getting in great NBA shape, not just great shape."
"The pace of the game is a lot faster, and the physicality — it's very high," Davis said. "I'm doing this for a living now, and I have to make sure I'm ready at all times."
Davis chided Rivers by reminding him that Kentucky won the NCAA title at the Superdome in April, and "we're coming back to try and win an NBA championship with the Hornets."
Rivers, a son of Boston Celtics coach Doc Rivers, said he's OK with the spotlight normally reserved for a lottery pick such as himself being dimmed by the presence of the No. 1 overall pick on the same team.
"Whether I was the man or not was fine with me," Rivers said. "I was used to it at Duke, and I've never viewed it as pressure. It's all I know. I've played basketball all my life. I know what I need to do to be successful, but I still have to do it. It's a man's league. These are players I've idolized all my life. I've got to earn it.
"There's no doubt this was the city I wanted to play in. There's no doubt this is a team on the rise."
Benson, who also owns the New Orleans Saints, was beaming as he introduced both players and posed for pictures with them.
"This is a great day for New Orleans," Benson said. "It's a great day for these players. It's a great day for me. What an exciting way to get started by getting two great players.
"It seems like every day lately, we're getting more excited about basketball. This is just the start of what's going to be happening, just like with the Saints. We recently won a Super Bowl, and we've been to the playoffs three straight years. That's what's going to happen with this team, and it's going to happen real soon too."
Second-round draft choice Darius Miller did not attend the news conference. … Demps said the Hornets plan to add a center through a trade or free agency, which begins Sunday. The team doesn't have a true center under contract after trading Emeka Okafor to Washington last week. … Demps said the franchise will decide in "the next 24 to 48 hours" what to do with F Rashard Lewis, who was acquired in the Okafor trade. The team is expected to terminate Lewis' $23.7 million contract before Sunday.

Saving Water: Resources for Homeowners and Families in Norwood
From simple everyday changes to purchasing water efficient appliances, here's how homeowners and families can save water and protect our local environment.
Did you know only 1% of the total water resources on earth are available for human use? It's a fact, according the United Nations Environmental Programme (UNEP). Water Saving Technology Mike Brent is the Water Resource Manager for the Cascade Water Alliance, a Puget Sound based agency that provides water to almost 400,000 residences and 22,000 businesses. Brent says families can conserve water by changing habits and taking advantage of water saving technology. "Water efficiency can be categorized by behavioral measures and hardware measures.

Caregivers who have poor parenting skills, little or no parenting support, or unrealistic expectations of normal behavior for infants or young children may be more likely to harm a child. They often do not know what behaviors are normal for babies or young children and have unrealistic expectations, such as expecting a 9-month-old to sit quietly for a long period of time or expecting a baby not to cry.
Babies or young children who are difficult to care for, such as those who have colic, demanding temperaments, or physical disabilities, may trigger a loss of control in a frustrated caregiver. A common cause of loss of control is a crying infant who does not respond to usual measures of comforting.
Caregivers who may be more likely to shake or throw a baby or young child include people who:

Multiple Lines of Evidence for an Old Universe
Astronomers have many different methods for measuring the age of various objects in the universe, and they all support ages of billions of years, not thousands. Even if the assumptions of one or two methods were faulty, it is highly unlikely that all of the methods would be affected.
Series: Excerpts from "Evolving: Evangelicals Reflect on Evolution"
We need to hear stories from others who have wrestled with evolution and Christian faith. What arguments made them change their views on science? How did they hold fast to their relationship with God? The essays in this series will eventually comprise a book, provisionally titled, "Evolving: Evangelicals Reflect on Evolution."
Searching for Motivated Belief: Introducing John Polkinghorne
Several times in my series of columns about "Science and the Bible," I briefly discussed a few ideas from John Polkinghorne, one of the leading Christian thinkers of our time. Although I presented him mainly as a representative of the "Theistic Evolution" (TE) view, much of his published work is about other topics, several of them largely or entirely unrelated to TE. It's time we got better acquainted with him.
Evolution, the Enlightenment, and Worldviews
In this video conversation, N.T. Wright discusses how the Enlightenment worldview -- which clearly separates God from the world -- has impacted our view of Scripture, and why cleaning the "spectacles" through which we view the world can help us see both Scripture and the world more clearly.
A Scientific Commentary on Genesis 7:11
Although committed to the principle of sola Scriptura, Calvin recognized that the Bible would have been written in terms its original recipients would have understood. Calvin inherited the medieval cosmology of his time, a way of viewing the world heavily influenced by Greek thought and one which was about to receive shocks from astronomers such as Copernicus and Galileo. But not just yet.
Made in the Image of God: Human Values and Genomics
Genes and physiology are seen as something different from "us" and "our mind," and they seem to be controlling us, so we can't even change our mind. Humans are presented as pawns of their biology, puppets dancing to the tune of their genetic masters.
Does Evolution Compromise Human Morality?
Once we have a scientific hypothesis for how something exists, it is tempting to make the philosophical inference that this is also why it exists.
Why Strict Atheism Is Unscientific
Do you believe in God? If a cadre of outspoken, strong atheists wrote a litmus test for scientists, that might very well be question #1.
Can Science Ever Know Enough?
To say something is poetic is not to declare it ultimately untrue, futile and meaningless—it is to say it is more profound and meaningful and true than many other modes of expression.
Series: Recent Discoveries in Astronomy
In this excerpt from the book Delight in Creation: Scientists Share Their Work with the Church, astronomer Deborah Haarsma shares her excitement about recent findings about our universe from a Christian perspective.
Series: Divine Action in the World
In this talk, Professor Plantinga addresses the fact that many contemporary thinkers—including many theologians—believe that God cannot perform miracles, providentially guide history, or interact in the lives of people, as these activities would be contrary to science. Plantinga, on the other hand, makes the case that this popular view is mistaken; excluding divine action in the world is not a central feature of natural science itself, but a philosophical or theological preference that has been added on to science (and can just as readily be removed). Plantinga concludes that it is completely logical to accept the miracles of the Bible and support contemporary science.
What is the Higgs Boson?
At a press conference on July 4, 2012, and with 99.99994% confidence (5 sigma), CERN announced the discovery of a particle consistent with that of a Higgs boson (a.k.a. "the God particle"). This is very exciting for elementary particle physicists. But what is the Higgs particle, and what is its meaning?
Naming 'the God Particle'
The discovery of the Higgs boson would certainly be a breakthrough for particle physics and cosmology, but would such a finding also radically redefine theology's understanding of God or challenge the existence of such a deity? Is there actually any theological or religious significance in Higgs physics at all?
What is Scientism?
Scientism is a rather strange word, but for reasons that we shall see, a useful one. Though this term has been coined rather recently, it is associated with many other "isms" with long and turbulent histories: materialism, naturalism, reductionism, empiricism, and positivism.
The Transit of Venus
Today we have a chance to witness a special moment in history as Venus transits across the disk of the Sun for people across the world to see. Not only is this process of discovery exciting for natural science, but it has profound theological ramifications as well.
Fine-tuning and the "Fruitful Universe"
I ask the question, "Why is the universe so special?" Now scientists don't like things to be special; we like things to be general, and our natural anticipation would have been that the universe is just a common specimen of what a universe might be like.
Series: The Wonder of the Universe
BioLogos is pleased to share excerpts from Karl Giberson's book The Wonder of the Universe: Hints of God in a Fine-Tuned World. It presents a two-part argument: in the first section Giberson outlines the history of our understanding of the universe, emphasizing the reliability of our knowledge of its properties and its history. In particular he outlines the remarkable evidence of design. In part two of the book, however, he discusses the complexities of drawing inferences from the design of the universe, cautioning against arguments that fine-tuning of the universe proves the existence of God.
Scientists Tell Their Stories: Owen Gingerich
When it came time to go to graduate school, one of Owen Gingerich's science professors told him "If you feel a calling to go to astronomy, you should give it a try, because we shouldn't let atheists take over any particular field."
Series: Universe and Multiverse
Baylor University Physicist Gerald Cleaver describes the changing state of our understanding of the cosmos and suggests ways that Christians can make theological sense of a theoretical Multiverse.
Series: Scripture and the Authority of God
N.T. Wright explores the context and manner in which Scripture is authoritative. He does so by questioning the meaning of an authoritative book as well as the application of such authority. Wright encourages us to flee from the controlling "list" mentalities that belittle the richness of God's Word, and rather to understand it as a narrative inspired by God and recorded by ancient persons. Ultimately, God "organizes" his people through his Son Jesus and by the Holy Spirit, and not through extracted rules from the Bible.

A couple of days ago I learned about yet another Ugandan young man in his 20s who had died in Mulago Hospital. I didn't know him but he was called Henry Lugoloobi, and was popularly known as 'Junior.' Reports reaching me suggest that he, too, succumbed to HIV/Aids complications.
You might recall that barely ten days ago, we attended the funeral of a young man, Abby Mukasa (Love) who had lost his fight with HIV/Aids at just 27.
We might be seeing the tip of the iceberg in these cases.
The incidence and spread of HIV/Aids in the gay community in Uganda continues to be the elephant in the room that, if not addressed with the seriousness it deserves, will have far-reaching consequences on the gay community … and ultimately the entire country.
This is one area, though, where everyone has to play a part, not just activists.
We all know how HIV/Aids spreads. We know that unprotected sex especially puts one at risk. In Uganda, one hears of horror stories of young men having impromptu sex in bar toilets and all these seedy places (it is never clean, nice places, is it? Not that the venue makes a difference but there you have it) they meet. Yet, it is also true that gay boys are not showing much interest in health programs or adherence to using condoms.
The message, thus, needs to be blunt:
Activists can't hold everyone's hand; it is for grown-up people to wake up, smell the coffee and take control of their own lives.
Yes, ARVs now help HIV/Aids sufferers live long fruitful lives and HIV is no longer the sure death sentence it used to be 25 years ago – if you are a government minister or have tons of money to pay for your medication and care.
But if you are a struggling 20-something man out of Kampala's slum areas, with a so-so education and dreadful work prospects, please remember that you live in a banana republic where social attitudes are as Neanderthal as medical facilities are medieval. If your ass is broke, which is the case for most of you young men having raw sex in toilets and dark alleys after one bottle of beer that you couldn't afford, you are likely going to catch something lethal.
Then you will eventually end up at Mulago Hospital in a filthy, smelly, mosquito-infested ward where all the poor go to die because that is how the poor in Uganda die.
One or two of your relatives might eventually show up at your bedside and give some token help of fruit juices you can no longer hold down and platitudes. But it will be too late because you will have wasted a lot of critical intervention time, refusing to be tested, refusing to accept the test results, or pretending that you are fabulous and all you are suffering from is malaria.
The terrible conditions at Mulago, the lack of support from your relatives and the attendant lack of money to meet your medical needs will cut your already frail immune system tenfold. Then you will slip away, leaving behind a motley crew of shocked gay friends who will not know how to tell the world that you died of a preventable, manageable, sexually transmitted disease.
Finally, your embarrassed relatives will pretend to the world that they did all they could for you. One of them will announce to the mourners at your freshly filled grave that you were much-loved, you had a child (whom no one will have heard of until then), they did what they could for you but the Lord had other plans in the brain fever that you died of. And that will be it.
As the mourners walk away, one of your friends will ruefully remark about how the festivities to put your body into the ground cost twice as much money as was needed to provide you with the medical care that you never got.
Your fate is in your hands guys. Get tested to know your status.
And put a condom on it.

dal tadka is cooked lentils tempered with oil or ghee fried spices along with the oil.
i have to admit that i simply love the dal tadka that is served at the restaurants even though we hardly eat out. so i try to recreate the restaurant magic in most of the food that i make at home. like today for example i made methi mushroom much like the famous methi murgh and it was wow.
tadka or chaunk is the hindi word for tempering. in this technique the spices are fried in oil, thereby the spices release essential oils & thus changes the flavor, aroma and taste remarkably of the final dish in which the tempering is added.
tempering is very much a part of cooking indian food. in fact we temper almost everything like dal, veggies dishes, chutneys.
dal is a staple in indian food. india has so many varieties of dal recipes. each region, each state having their own delicious recipes. few of the famous dal recipes are dal makhani, dal fry, masoor dal, and chana dal.
this dal tadka is north indian style than south indian style. you can make the dal tadka with any yellow dal (split lentils). i have made it with arhar dal (split pigeon pea lentils) and masoor dal (split pink lentils).
the preparation is easy. first make the dal and then lastly temper it just before serving. you can also make the dal ready and keep in the fridge. before serving heat the dal and then just temper it. serve immediately.
the tempering adds a lot of oomph factor to the dal. the plain cooked creamy yellow dal gets transformed into an aromatic & beautiful dal.
i have added tomatoes to the dal but you can skip adding tomatoes.
for tempering you can add ghee instead of oil. i have used sunflower oil.
lastly you can also add some cream to the dal or garnish the dal with some cream.
the dal tadka can be served with rotis, chapatis and steamed basmati rice or jeera rice.
the only thing missing in this tadke wali dal is the aroma of burnt charcoal. now if only i could get my hands on some charcoal to infuse the smoky charcoal flavor into the dal
this yellow dal recipe is for taste of yellow event started by barbara harris, who was a food blogger and wrote on her blog winos and foodies. she recently lost her long battle with cancer on june 29th.
i did not know barbara or her blog. i missed an opportunity to know such a wonderful woman. barbara was a strong woman and she created the taste of yellow event to raise awareness about cancer. this month meeta's monthly mingle is honoring barbara and is being hosted by jeanne of cook sister.
restaurant style dal tadka recipe details below:
- ½ cup tuvar dal/ split pigeon pea lentils
- ½ cup masoor dal/split pink lentils
- 1 or 2 green chilies, chopped or slit lengthwise
- 1 medium sized onion, chopped
- 1 medium size tomato, chopped
- 1 tsp grated or chopped ginger (optional)
- 1 tsp turmeric powder
- a pinch or two of garam masala powder (optional)
- a pinch of asafoetida/hing
- 2 cups water
- 1 tsp kasuri methi/dry fenugreek leaves, crushed
- 1 or 2 tbsp cream (optional)
- 1 tbsp chopped coriander leaves
- salt as required
- 2 tbsp oil
- 1 tsp cumin
- 5-6 garlic cloves
- 2-3 red chilies
- a generous pinch of hing
- 1 tbsp chopped coriander leaves
- 1 tbsp cream (optional)
- first pick and rinse the dals.
- add chopped onions, tomato, green chilies, ginger, asafoetida & turmeric powder along with the dals in a pressure cooker.
- add salt and two cups water.
- mix well and pressure cook the dals for 4-5 whistles or till done.
- once well cooked then beat the dal with a churner or a wooden spoon till well mashed and creamy.
- now here you decide the consistency of the dal before you add the tempering.
- generally this type of dal is neither thick nor thin but has a medium consistency.
- the dal will be creamy but a little thick after pressure cooking with 2 cups of water.
- so add some water to get the desired consistency and simmer for 3-4 minutes.
- once the desired consistency is reached, you can add cream (optional), garam masala powder, crushed kasuri methi & chopped coriander leaves and switch off the fire.
- mix well.
- check salt before we add the tempering. if less than add more salt.
- cover the dal with a lid.
- begun to prepare the tempering/tadka.
- heat oil in a pan.
- add cumin and fry them.
- the cumin should get fried and not be raw but don't burn them.
- now add red chilies, asafoetida and chopped garlic.
- let the garlic brown.
- once the garlic gets browned pour the entire tempering along with the oil into the dal.
- you can mix the dal or serve the dal with the tempering on top it.
- garnish with coriander leaves.
- have this fantastic tadka dal with some steamed basmati rice or jeera rice.
instead of oil you can temper the dal with ghee/clarified butter.
the dal consistency is neither thick nor thin but medium. but if you prefer you can go for a slightly thick or thin dal consistency.
you can also soak the dal for 30 to 40 minutes before cooking them.
if you don't have a pressure cooker than cook the dal in a pot with enough water added to the dal. in this case better to soak the dal so that the cooking is faster.

Graduation brings diplomas, decisions
Around this time of year, there's a countdown clock in every senior's head, and it's ticking toward one event: graduation. It's the ultimate pinnacle of every student's high school experience, the very thing one works at for years. The greatest thing about the ceremony, however, is not just that it celebrates the past but that it opens up brand new opportunities for the future.
A lot of the talk around the Wheatland Union High School campus has been about the paths students will pursue after they get their diplomas. For some, this means immediately pursuing a career that they are passionate about. Others will head off to colleges or universities, and for them, this marks the execution of a choice they have been trying to make since their junior year.
Many people mailing in college applications are so worried about getting accepted, they forget to remember that any school would be lucky to have them. College isn't for everybody, but for those trying to decide on one, there is much to consider.
WUHS students must ask themselves: Do I want to stay close to home or get out on my own? Should I opt for a private college, or leave the small campus behind and choose a larger public school? Will the mountains or the beach be my preferred location?
An important criterion to consider, of course, is the available programs that match any desired major, but a change of heart over careers is so common among students that there is room for uncertainty.
With so many academic institutions in our country alone, there's bound to be a good fit for every person. And yet, one big obstacle looms in the way of Ivy League dreams. Through grade 12, we are given the privilege of a free education, but there's no such thing as a free degree.
With tuition rates rising every year, it's getting harder and harder to afford higher learning. At the University of California schools, a popular choice for WUHS students, there have been protests against the ever-increasing fees that undergraduates must pay.
One good option for financially struggling WUHS students is to check the daily bulletin for scholarship offers, or go online (an action familiar to most teenagers) and do a little research. It's often surprising just how much financial aid schools are willing to offer, despite these economic times.
Community colleges can add to a person's knowledge without the huge price tag of a four-year school, and the financially savvy sometimes opt to switch to more expensive universities after two years.
Students have to be realistic, but each graduate has to follow his or her priorities. What's truly difficult about starting a life is that it requires young people to make very adult decisions. Luckily, we Pirates have been trained to handle whatever comes our way.

James Eagan Holmes, the suspected shooter in the Aurora movie-theater killings, is scheduled to appear in Arapahoe County court Monday morning for an initial advisement.
After that, it could be months until he is tried in the shooting of 71 people, 12 of whom died. In between, he could face a competency evaluation and a decision on whether the district attorney will seek the death penalty.
But Monday starts the clock ticking in his legal case.
District Attorney Carol Chambers will likely decide sometime next week on what and how many charges to file against him. There will be at least 71 charges — one for each victim — and probably more.
Once Holmes is charged, the defense will then ask that a

- Watch video from the Sunday prayer vigil for victims of the Aurora theater shooting.
- Live blog: Real time social media updates.
- Audio: Police scanner traffic archives.
- Timeline: Shooting at Aurora movie theater.

- Tips for children: Helping kids cope
- Video: Police, witness detail shooting.
- More videos: Aurora shooting video roundup.
- Raw video: Aurora theater shooting.
- Full coverage: Stories, photos, video, more.
For now, two of the biggest questions regarding Holmes' legal case are whether the district attorney will seek the death penalty and whether his defense team will ask the state to determine whether he is competent to stand trial, legal observers say.
Chambers, who could not be reached for comment, has not been shy about seeking the death penalty during her tenure. Two of the three prisoners on death row, Robert Ray and Sir Mario Owens, were put there by her office. And she has sought the death penalty six times.
Chambers is term-limited, and two people are running in November to fill her seat. Because of that, any decision Chambers makes could be changed by the new DA, said Denver attorney Phil Cherner. Republican candidate George Brauchler and Democrat Ethan Feldman are running for the office.
The other issue is Holmes' competency. He appeared to have a meticulous plan leading up to Friday's massacre, police said.
But competency is about whether a suspect understands the court proceedings, not about whether he knows right from wrong.
And Cherner said it might not always be wise to seek a court evaluation. Holmes' defense team will likely do its own evaluation before deciding on whether to ask the state to do so.
Ultimately, a judge would decide whether Holmes is competent for trial.
"If you raise the competency issue, you let the government into your client's head," Cherner said. "That's the one thing they have that nobody else has."

I am trying to help set PowerChurch up for our church. The treasurer does not understand accounting nor does my sweet husband the SP. They wanted this software to do fund accounting. However, we do not distribute monies into accounts when the contributions are taken. We put them in the checking account/general fund. I tried setting up the Savings and Investment accounts as funds and also the general account. However when I make an entry of the deposit to the Checking account (asset) account to the General Fund (income) it will balance and do well until I make a payment (expense) then it can come out of the income account, but will not take the money out of the checking account.
I really just don't think that we can use this software for what they want. We have only been at the church for a year and they were using Excel before this it was in a mess!
Any suggestions? Thanks

Steve Job's Last words…
Paul said it well when he wrote, "For to me, to live is Christ and to die is gain (Php. 1:21)." Is this how we think? Do I see death as being greater than my current situation, in that I will be with Christ? Paul, within a prison cell, reminds his writers the purpose of the Christian life. What is the purpose? To live as Christ. What is the ultimate goal? To be with Christ.
Sin has impacted all of us and as a result we all suffer through death. Each of us will have last words… This for some is a terrible event, but for those who put their faith in Christ it is a wonderful glorious event. I saw this clip and thought it handled both of these perspectives well. The only success that will transfer in this life into the next is dependent upon who you were dependent upon.
Christ the Center
We are moving forward. Some of you are finishing up the last section of the stewardship book and some of you are moving forward into Philippians. Over the past years, in Life Groups, we have never handled a specific book of the bible to journey though together as a group. I am excited about Philippians because this letter paints a picture of what it looks like when Christ is the Center of your life.Here's a fly by of the upcoming five lessons:Lesson One: Whatever circumstance that we go through, whether good or bad, we can have complete joy in Christ. (1:1-20)Lesson Two: Our purpose in life is to live as Christ. (1:21-30)Lesson Three: How do we live like Christ? With humility. (2:1-30)Lesson Four: We understand the purpose of life. (3:1-21)Lesson Five: Joy with contentment. (4:1-23)My hope is that each of you will be able to walk away and understand the truths communicated in the book of Philippians and apply them to your life. I promise you if you apply the truths in Philippians you will be a better husband, wife, coworker, etc… but this doesn't happen without application and accountability.Throughout these next coming weeks my goal is to provide you with little illustrations, reminders, or nuggets on Paul's letter so that we might truly place Christ at the center of our lives.In closing, keep in mind the words of Paul, "He who began a good work in you will perfect it until the day of Christ Jesus."Philippians 1:6 |
Back in it!
We're back in it! It so wonderful to see the groups starting back up and fellowshipping together once again! Tuesday night I witnessed one group and just enjoyed seeing the excitement and fun that they were having. There are many reasons to be excited for this next season of Life Groups. We have new leaders, new members, and new events coming up.Over the last several months of Life Groups I have been really encouraged and for some reason I wanted to rely why. Most the time all of us meet together at our designated fellowships for fellowship, prayer, and instruction. Around mid-May and through August I have gotten numerous reports from leaders and members about what God was doing through their Life Group. I heard stories of member's financial needs being met by those in their Life Group. I heard numerous reports of different groups going to the hospital to visit members going through a difficult time. I heard members taking on responsibilities by preparing dinners for someone in need. I could go on and on…Guys this is Acts 2! You're living it. Some of you are experiencing it. A member, who had just been through an awful experience, told her leader that this "Acts 2 stuff" Pastor Pugh talks about really does work! This member is right, it does work. But let's remember it only works when we work together. If you're not back in it get in someone needs you.Keep the fellowship… |
