Help! Can I double Short Rib recipe in dutch oven with no problems?
I want to make a short rib recipe....the ones I am choosing from call for 4-5lbs of short ribs and serve four. I would like to double the recipe...or at least increase it by half. Has anyone cooked that much in a 7.5qt Dutch oven? Is there anything else I need to change about the recipe or cooking method if increasing the amount going into the pot? I just think that using a recipe made for 4 servings when I am feeding 4 adults may leave us wanting more!
My husband can eat a ton all by himself!
I think that might be a little tight - I do 5 - 7 pounds in that size, and it's a little tight.
The secret to a good braise is keeping the meat at least half covered by the braising liquid. In that size a Dutch oven, normally two high is about it. Many recipes call for a single layer with liquid half way up the side. In other words, not completely submerging the ribs. If that's the case, doubt you could double.
I did some in a roasting pan recently because my Dutch oven wasn't big enough. Browned the ribs in a skillet on the stove, deglazed the pan to get all the good stuff into the sauce, then put it all in the roasting pan. Covered the pan tightly with heavy duty foil--it worked fine.
I can fit 6 meaty lamb shanks (weighing about 7.5 pounds) in my 7qt lodge dutch oven. Since they're whole shanks, it's not the most efficient use of space. I think you should be able to fit 8-9 pounds of short ribs in your 7.5 qt oven, as long as you don't have other solid ingredients. A tight fit is good for braising; you don't really want too much space between your ingredients and the lid.
You might need to increase the cooking time a little bit with more mass in there. I also would not increase the cooking liquid proportionately, since you'll probably end up with too much (and take more space away from fitting the meat). Just keep an on it to make sure it doesn't dry out.
re: ricepad
Or, instead of browning them on the stovetop, which can be messy and labor intensive, broil them all at one time in the oven for 45 minutes at 450.
re: Chris VR
Wow - I never thought of that - the most time consuming thing when I make short ribs (Balthazar cookbook) is the browning ... do you use the same pan/pot that you then use to braise them?
re: MMRuth
No, I've done it on a wire rack on a baking sheet. This was for Molly Stevens's Short Ribs braised in porter ale.
re: valerie
I am doing Molly Stevens Red Wind Marinated Braised Short Ribs in Fine Cooking Mag March/06. Looks awesome and I keep seeing her short rib recipes recommended on this forum. I have never made short ribs before so this should be fun. I am using my new Dutch Oven and having company for dinner.
I BAKE them single layer in a roasting pan at 450 to brown. I always do it that way and it works very well, (no more stovetop browning mess). I also have made 10 pounds in my large Le Crueset and it worked fine. I have adjusted the liquid to just come to the top of the ribs. If you have too much liquid, you can boil it down at the end (without the ribs).
re: halimundy
that's Great! I think I have about 7+ lbs or so and it looks like PLENTY of meat for 4 adults....and then some leftovers! I am glad to hear that you all have stuffed your Dutch Ovens full without a problem. the recipe called for a "dry red wine such as a zinfandel" but I got a bottle of cabernet sauvignon...not a big wine drinker but was told this should be even better than the zinfandel for this recipe...what do you think?
re: tamhud4
My friend made them recently and said they were incredible. (I assume she used Zinfandel but I don't see why Cabernet wouldn't work as well)Happy eating.
P.S. The last few times I made short ribs I have used the Balthazar recipe.
Keep the liquid level low. I use just 1/2" of beef stock, which lets the short ribs brown inside the pot without preliminary browning. Plenty of liquid comes out of the meat.
If you want to brown the ribs, Cooks Illustrated has a great hint: roast short ribs at 450 for about 45 minutes, bone-side down on a foil-lined broiler pan or rimmed half-sheet pan.
I also cook them slowly -- 1/2 hour at 325, then reduce to 300. This melts out the collagen and produces really tender short ribs.
With short ribs, I think simplest is best -- just salt, a few peppercorns and beef stock.
The aroma is so intoxicating that it's almost impossible to keep from eating these the day you make them. Grit your teeth and refrigerate the meat and liquid separately overnight. The meat will improve greatly, and you can skim off the fat and reduce the stock to syrupy heaven.
re: KRS
When you brown the ribs on the broiler pan - do you brown or the top of the pan (with the openings for the fat to drip down) or do you lay them directly on the bottom of the pan where they will cook in their own fat????
For the Balthazar recipe (which I am dying to try), do you bind the ribs before or after the oven browning?
re: Canthespam
I make the Balthazar recipe pretty frequently, but still haven't tried this browning method. That said, I'd tie them up first - that way you don't have to wait for them to cool to tie them up.
re: MMRuth
Good suggestion - thanks.

Boko's Harem
Bring back, bring back,
Oh, bring back our girls to us…
Dozens of women and girls from two villages in Nigeria's north-eastern Adamawa state have been abducted by suspected militants, residents say.
The abductions have not been confirmed by the authorities, but residents say they took place a day after the military announced it had agreed a ceasefire with the Boko Haram group.
The government hopes the Islamist group will free more than 200 girls seized in April as part of negotiations.
Boko Haram has not confirmed the truce.
I think they've confirmed the lack thereof.
Say, I just thought of something…
Did anyone try saying "please"? I bet even Islamic terrorists like to be asked nicely.

Yeah, you gotta watch out for those foxes with odd looks on their faces.

Shifty, them foxes. Shiv you at a moments notice, they will.
I think partially these problems arise - especially with the old lady that threw her teeth at some dogs (albeit accidentally) - is that non-emergency numbers aren't widely published. Everybody knows 999, but I could only guess the non-emergency line for the police (Is it still 5050? I'm honestly not sure) and I don't even know if non-emergency fire or non-emergency ambulance exist (by definition, ambulances are for emergencies are they not? They're not hospital taxis.. And if your house is on fire then that's probably an emergency)

World Cup heroine brings hope to embattled Japan nuclear workers
Player is 'filled with gratitude' for support from Japanese citizens.
Wed, Jul 13, 2011 at 07:30 AM
ON TO THE FINALS: Japan's team celebrates after winning the semi-final soccer match of the FIFA Women's World Cup between Japan and Sweden at the FIFA World Cup stadium in Frankfurt, Germany on Wednesday. (Photo: Arne Dedert/ZUMA Press)
TOKYO - A substitute on the Japanese women's national soccer team who led her country to its first ever World Cup semi-final appearance counts among her supporters workers battling to bring under control the world's worst nuclear crisis in 25 years.
Not surprising, perhaps — some are former colleagues from when Karina Maruyama herself worked at Tokyo Electric Power Co (TEPCO), the operator of the nuclear plant crippled by the March 11 earthquake and tsunami.
The 28-year-old Maruyama has become a national heroine after coming off the bench to score an extra-time winner against the heavily favored defending champion Germany on Saturday.
Her dramatic 108th minute goal gave Japan a 1-0 win over Germany and brought an outpouring of praise and gratitude on her blog, but it was a former colleague now working to contain damage at the Fukushima Daiichi plant 240 km (150 miles) from Tokyo who really moved her.
"The mail said that the goal 'renewed our will to work and strive together'. I cried as I read it," she was quoted as telling the Chunichi Shimbun daily.
Maruyama, who currently plays for Japanese club JEF United Ladies, worked at the plant from 2005 to 2009 as a TEPCO employee while playing for Mareese, a club sponsored by the utility.
In April, she was hit with a barrage of criticism after a blog entry that questioned the heavy blame piled on TEPCO from the public and media for the crisis, which likely made the current praise much sweeter.
"Everybody in Japan, who cheered me on from various places and under various circumstances, gave power to the national team and helped me score the goal," she wrote on her blog.
"I am filled with gratitude."
Japan defeated Sweden at the semi-final game Wednesday, 3-1.
They will play the United States on Sunday in the championship match.

My question for the day if will i be able to lose weight if i eat only cereal ( i ear cheerios with 1% milk) for dinner? Of course, I work out about 4 days a week at the gym. I am studying for a test and will be taking it in 35 days. I get off work at 5 o'clock and to study intensely, I just created a plan to study 3 hours a day after work which makes it impossible to find time to make dinner. I have tried eating only cereal last week and I seem to be okay with it. It fills me up, and I like it.
Let me know of what you think.
p.s.: I do eat around 1200 calories everyday, and have been very active. My concern is not just any quick fixes, I am wondering whether eating cereal for dinner is bad because people say carbs in the evening is never good for someone looking to lose weight.

25 September 2012
There's a little Indonesian restaurant in Vic Park that my friend recommended. Usually I'm wary of advice from non-Asians about 'authentic' Asian cuisine, but I made an exception because he lived in Indonesia for a few years!
Nasi goreng special ($9.90)
My dining companion chose the Nasi Goreng Special, which is fried rice with prawn crackers, fried egg and 2 sticks of chicken satay. If you order nasi goreng in a restaurant that isn't Indonesian or Malay, it's probably not legit. Fortunately, the fried rice was tasty, wholesome and filling. Good value for money!
Sate ayam madura (5 sticks for $7.50)
We felt a bit greedy so we ordered extra chicken satay. I'm a huge fan of the Malaysian style satay, but I wasn't so pleased with the Indo version. The peanut sauce was less sweet and nutty than I'm used to. However, the meat had a lovely charred flavour and was still a tasty treat! Similar to my disappointing experience at Ten Ten in Myaree (check out my review), it was a shame to miss out on rice cakes, onion and cucumber pieces to dip into the sauce.
Nasi campur ($10.90)
My Nasi Campur was an interesting mix of bits and pieces. The curry chicken wasn't spicy enough, the tomato-base sauce on the tofu didn't amaze me, and the random clump of fried noodles was yummy was insubstantial. Overall, this dish was a slight let-down and I'll try something else next time I visit.
Free condiments and chilli
Bonus points for unlimited supply of many different chilli sauces.
Gado gado ($8.20)
This dish was a bit disappointing due to an unreasonable amount of cabbage. The gado gado that I once ate at Sparrows (under new management) was far tastier and had my favourite cubes of rice cake. This was filling and I consumed my serve of vegies for the day, but that's about it.
Kari ayam ($8.50) and Yellow rice ($2 per serving)
The Kari Ayam was unappetising and quite watery. This is quite far down the ranks in terms of chicken curry and the potatoes were oddly shrivelled.
Bintang timur ($3)
This is an interesting drink that I haven't yet managed to recreate at home. My amateur culinary tastebuds picked up rose syrup and cherry cordial. Give it a thorough stir or suffer from toothe-ache!! I really enjoyed this drink, even though I found Cherry Coke an awful concoction.
Nasi kuning komplit ($10.90)
I didn't try the Nasi Kuning Komplit, but it was reported to be quite average. You can very easily fry ikan belis (dried anchovies) at home. The chicken, tofu, and lumps of curry didn't save the dish.
Service at Bintang Cafe is what you'd expect at a small, local Asian restaurant. Order at the counter, collect your own cutlery, and just make sure they remember to bring out your food.
SummaryLikes: cheap, filling meals
Dislikes: suffering through average dishes to try and find the good ones
Value for money: yes, $10 is hardly going to break the bank
Overall: stick to the classics like Nasi Goreng

Ordered this shower curtain and was absolutely perfect! Looks great.
I was impressed with quality of the material and the embroidered rose details were lovely.Makes a perfect change in my bath.
Very well made, beautiful color. Very feminine...I Like my bathroom much better now!
I purchased the Bella Rose shower curtain and window curtains and they are simply beautiful. I was impressed with the excellent quality of the fabric, the design on the fabric was perfectly done, and overall, the items are perfect. I could not be happier with my purchase! I was so pleased with these items that I also ordered the ceramic accessories for the vanity as well and can't wait to get them.
I enjoy pretty things that go with my decor. I found curtains for my bedroom and bathroom and shower that I just fell in love with. The quality of the product is nice and I am very happy with it. There are a few things later on that I have my eye on but will have to wait.

This 1927 diorama with squirrels, 48 inches wide, by the taxidermy artist Herman Grieb (1869-1928) is sure to have some paddles wagging at a three-estate sale hosted by Tom's Auctions & Appraisals on Feb. 4.
IVOR, Va. – Hundreds of select, handpicked items from three prominent Virginia estates in Franklin, Virginia Beach and Norfolk—including a woodlands diorama by renowned American taxidermy artist Herman Grieb—will be sold at auction Saturday, Feb. 4, by Tom's Auctions & Appraisals, at the former Ivor High School building in Ivor. The action will begin promptly at 10 a.m. (EST). Doors will open at 8:30 a.m.
At press time, more than 600 lots of merchandise had been counted, but items were still being inventoried and the final tally could easily top the 700 mark. Offered will be items in a wide range of categories, including period furniture, stoneware and pottery, duck decoys, stamps and coins, glassware, hand-made baskets, fountain pens, ephemera, decorative accessories and collectibles.
"We've pulled choice items out of these outstanding estates and will offer them for sale to the highest bidder," said Tom Perry of Tom's Auctions & Appraisals, based in Suffolk, Va. "We are expecting a healthy crowd of up to 200 people. Bring your cash, folks—these items are high quality and will get snapped up quickly." There will be no Internet bidding for this auction.
One lot certain to pique bidder interest is a 1927 diorama with squirrels, executed by the renowned American taxidermy artist Herman Grieb (Buffalo, N.Y., 1869-1928), about 48 inches wide and signed by the artist. Grieb's production was both prodigious and endearing. His natural creations are still actively sought out by collectors, more than 80 years after his death.
Another lot sure to draw attention is this 19th-century Carlsbad fish set, comprising an oval platter and 12 plates, all hand-painted.
Headlining the period furniture category will be an early blue-painted dovetailed blanket chest, probably made in Pennsylvania in the early-to-mid 1800s; a burled mahogany, eight-drawer highboy (circa 1780-1800) with ball-and-claw feet and arched shell carved into the center of the base; and a mid-1700s mahogany bachelor's chest with bracket feet and four graduated drawers.
Other furniture pieces will include a diminutive and unusual eastern North Carolina cupboard, not much larger that a child's piece and made circa mid-1800s; a period drop-leaf Pembroke dining table (possibly European); a huge Victorian-era wardrobe; and Empire pieces.
Another lot sure to get paddles wagging is a 19th century Carlsbad fish set, comprising a scalloped oval platter and 12 plates, all hand-painted and in perfect condition. All pieces carry the Carlsbad mark, ensuring their authenticity. Carlsbad is the Austrian-based china firm renowned for its hand-painted fish platter and plate sets. They are highly coveted by collectors.
Decorative accessories will feature a gorgeous green Northwood Carnival glass epergne (marked Northwood), around 20 pieces of stoneware (some of it beautifully decorated and highly sought after pieces from South Carolina, plus examples from New York, Pennsylvania and New Jersey), Roseville pottery, oil lamps, doorstops, sterling silver and a nice group of picture frames.
Also sold will be a circa 1880-1900 six-tune music box, probably Swiss, with damper and brass cylinder that plays six songs, a hand-illustrated cloth book of the classic "Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs" (circa 1880-1920), original paperwork from a washing machine made in 1900 (that cost just $10 new!) and a Virginia document transferring a slave from father to son.
This rare, circa 1880-1920 six-tune music box, probably Swiss, with damper and brass cylinder, will find a new home on Feb. 4.
The duck decoys are mostly unsigned, except for one signed "A. Wood," and the group of hand-made baskets includes a desirable miniature example. Stamps and coins will also cross the block (although none of the coins are gold). Other lots will include a Gem Roller organ that plays 16-inch cylinder rolls (cylinders included) and a rare sportsman's yearbook from 1940.
Previews will be held on Friday, Feb. 3, from 3-6 p.m., and Saturday, Feb. 4, the date of sale, from 8 a.m. until 10 a.m., when the first gavel comes down. Phone and absentee bids will be accepted. A 10-percent buyer's premium will be applied to all purchases. Terms will be cash and good checks only. No credit card purchases will be allowed. Refreshments will be served.
For more information about this auction, call 757.539.2498 or 757.617.9647, e-mail to firstname.lastname@example.com or visit the Tom's Auctions & Appraisals.

Captain, Mark Giordano, in spite of being disappointed about not making playoffs, had good things to say about this season with the Flames as he reviewed the team's season on Flames TV. He seems to take his leadership role seriously and has nothing but praise for his fellow teammates.
To begin, Gio stated, "I think there's a lot of positives in our season," referring of course to the great second-half of the Calgary Flames season when they had weeks of good wins and a lot of progress from the players. But he also admitted that not making playoffs again this year is tough, explaining, it will be "tough to watch over the next few months." On the other hand, he seemed happy with the productivity of the Flames. "Our style of play is where we want it to be."
He gave a lot of credit to his teammates, "we have a great group of guys." He went on to give a lot of praise to T.J. Brodie, explaining that it was a good year for his linemate, attributing a lot of his own success to his blueline partner. Brodie impressed the captain with his skating and ability to move the puck around the ice. Gio even ventured to say that he believes Brodie is one of the "top skaters in the back end" in the NHL.
As for his hopes next season, he believes it's all in the details of their game. "There's only one way our team will be successful and that's with hard work and playing with details." The captain seems focused and realistic in his expectations for the 2014-2015 season. As for his own role on the team, he hopes for "the same mentality, but hopefully we can take another step forward and get into the mix where you can start talking about us as a playoff team."
Overall, Mark Giordano said, "we did a good job of not getting too high when we were winning and not getting too low when times were tough." Being humble is obviously very important to Gio.
In my opinion, teams who rest everything on their feelings rather than concentrating on their goals seem to forget about the details of the game when they start winning and their plays begin to suffer. In this respect, I agree with the Flames captain and I like the tone surrounding this team because I think it will take them far and create good, well-rounded players.
I'm looking forward to more good things from captain Mark Giordano next season and maybe he might have the good fortune of leading them to a playoff run.

I think that this thread is getting difficult to follow! ;)
From my point of view I think it's clear that an ideal would be to have
one script, which defaults to the "safe" mode of gathering information,
but which can also be stepped-up to be more intrusive should the user
require it. Otherwise we'd have a brute-force script that did exactly
the same as the info script (with, obviously, the bruting too) and that
seems rather counter-intuitive. Much better, I think, to have all the
functionality in one script and a) not needlessly introduce code
redundancy and b) not needlessly increase the amount of network activity
in such cases (for example) where all scripts are run.
For now though the current script is very useful and stands alone. In
the future (and assuming that MySQLinfo is checked-in), it might be
replaced with a script that increases the functionality, but behaves the
same in it's default mode.
Yeah, that sounds good. We can work with Thomas on the improved script;
remember, it requires the SSL bindings.
For now though, if anybody thinks so and I'm given the go I'll commit
the new script as-is. Unless we have any other suggestions! :)
And here's a mad thought, there could be a complete overhaul of the
script category framework which would allow a modifier category of some
categories = {"safe", "discovery"}
modified-by = {"intrusive", "vulnerability"}
so that a script in the above categories would behave safely if a script
scan called for safe and discovery scripts, but would behave more
intrusively if a scan called for intrusive and vulnerability scripts.
hmmmmm, what thinketh youeth?
That sounds like a really cool idea

- Measurables: 6-foot-10, 220 pounds, freshman C from Kentucky
- Key Stats: 14.3 points, 10.0 rebounds, 1.4 steals, 4.7 (!) blocks per game while shooting 62 percent from the field
- Projected: No. 1 overall

Why I'm intrigued by this guy
The analysis here is pretty simple. Davis changes everything for the Pistons. Yesterday, when Dan Feldman talked about this being the second most important draft lottery in team history, he wrote that because of Davis. This draft has exactly one franchise-altering talent available. If the Pistons get him, all of the misery and bad basketball of the past four seasons will be quickly forgotten. Davis, simply, is a once-in-a-generation type talent and, other than possibly LeBron James, the easiest No. 1 pick in the last 20 years.
Pros for the Pistons
We've frequently discussed the need for the Pistons to add a rim-protecting presence next to Greg Monroe, and Davis and his nearly five blocks per game for Kentucky would certainly represent that. He'd instantly make the Pistons a credible defensive team. It's easy to see him having a Ben Wallace or Dwight Howard-like impact in the league, winning multiple Defensive Player of the Year awards down the road.
But fans should be equally excited about Davis' offense. He runs the floor well (which will help run-happy guards Brandon Knight and Rodney Stuckey). He throws great outlet passes, which should further ignite Detroit's transition game. He finishes well, which will help pass-happy Monroe. He has the face-up game of a guard and handles the ball really well (a product of the fact that Davis hit a growth spurt late in his teenage years and spent most of his early basketball days as a guard), which helps the team as a whole, since they could use another big man capable of creating his own offense (playing offensively limited Wallace or Jason Maxiell big minutes often hindered Detroit's ability to score this season).
If the Pistons don't win the lottery and end up with a nice prospect like John Henson, they're a good bet to take a baby step forward next year and threaten the .500 mark or a low seed in the playoffs. If they win the lottery and get Davis, they'll be a trendy pick to get at the very least a homecourt advantage playoff series in the first round.
Cons for the Pistons
There are none.
What others are saying
Big man Anthony Davis is a lock as the No. 1 pick in the draft. The college basketball player of the year is the rare prospect who has virtually everything you want in a player. He's got elite size, length and athleticism. He produced at a high level on the court (he led all NCAA players in PER this season) and still has tremendous upside going forward. He's a great kid and a hard worker.
Yes, he needs to get stronger and he'll need to continue to improve his offensive game, but at this point he's considered a can't-miss prospect by every NBA scout and executive I've spoken to.
He's only fifth in usage rate on his own Kentucky team in fact, being mostly relegated to living off the scraps created for him by others. Davis gets the overwhelming majority of his touches playing off the ball—be it cutting to the rim, crashing the offensive glass, running the floor in transition, or as a pick and roll finisher. According to Synergy Sports Technology, only 20% of his offense comes off post-up, spot-up or isolation plays, which makes sense considering those are the areas he struggles in the most.
While Davis plays a simple role for Kentucky, he's arguably the most efficient offensive player in college basketball, converting an amazing 67% of his 2-point attempts (which ranks in the top 15 in our database in the past decade) and turning the ball over on just 9% of his possessions. He's one of the best finishers we've seen in recent years, making nearly 80% of his non-post-up attempts around the basket.
His tremendous length, outstanding hands, explosive leaping ability and terrific timing make him a ideal target for lobs.
Bullet outlet passes are a major strength … Can handle the ball in space with occasional facilitation of the offense, and does not appear limited to straight line drives … Commits under a turnover per game as a freshman big, highlighting his guard skills … Still only 18 years of age, Davis grew 7 inches (6'3-6'10) between his HS junior and senior seasons … Dynamic versatility at both ends of the floor makes for boundless potential.
The Pistons already have Greg Monroe, and adding Davis would create a fearsome post tandem. Monroe is a terrific passer, and we envision a lot of give-and-gos.
What is the best thing Anthony Davis does for his team?
Kevin Hetrick of Cavs: The Blog:
Davis dominated the NCAA in a rarely exhibited way. The scary thing is, he can get a lot better. His shooting range is still unreliable, his back-to-the-basket game is raw, he's too skinny…if he never improves on any of this; he'll still be a low-usage, high-efficiency center that dominates one end of the court. With strides in his offensive game and a little more muscle on his frame; could he win an MVP?

Lyke House: "It's About Heritage"
It has been my wish and prayer to be a member of a Catholic church somewhere close to my college, and the Catholic Center at Lyke House has been a dream come true and answered.
Lyke House is more than a building; it's more than a network or community. It's a family. We respect and support each other, embrace our differences and use them to grow. But most importantly, we always make it a point to come back home.
My intention to become a Catholic convert was my deeply felt need, which the Lord provided at the Lyke House while I was a student. I was challenged to learn, grow, work, build relationships, learn the faith, and grow closer and more faithful to Jesus with a lively lot whose memory and support I cherish daily, and always will.

My sister-in-law uses jungle jake and has nothing but praise for this fantastic cleaner
Charlotte G on Jan 3, 2014
Does this contain any petroleum distillates. Is it safe to clean an rv epdm roof? thanks
Best Answer: The Bottle reads; " Jungle Jake removes oil, grease, coffee stains, ink, graphite and blood from washable surfaces including floors, walls, appliances, engines, machined, concrete and clothes. Use Jungle Jake full strength or dilute in warn or cold water per suggested dilution ratios. Pre-spot and/or pre-sole if necessary. For tough build-ups, scrub with a non-abraiive brush or cloth. Rinse. NOTE: Prior to use on fabrics, apply a small amount to the underside of material to test for colorfastness." Also printed on the label is " NON-TOXIC * NON-FLAMMABLE* BIODEGRADABLE*NON-ABRASIVE*NON-CORROSIVE*NON-PHOSPHATE" of the many uses one that is listed is "boat, truck and carwash" I personally do not know what Petroleum distillates are or what an rv epdm roof is but I hope this information is of some benefit to the person with the question. I am very happy with this product.

Appeal court throws out pensions cases from Lehman and Nortel
Readers' comments (1)
I rember companies taking pension holidays when the schemes were in surplus. The argument they used was that if the scheme was in deficit the company was liable to make up the shortfull. Now they are trying to argue they are not.
They cannot have it both ways. If they are not liable then surely they are liable to repay any money due from the pensions holidays taken.

It's the moment that you've all been waiting for. It's championship Friday and by nights end Bingham County could be celebrating not one, not two, but three different state football titles in three different classifications as the Blackfoot Broncos, Shelley Russets and Firth Cougars will all take to their respective fields looking to etch their names into the lore of their respective programs.
Last season Bingham County took home two of the three title games in which they participated in and this year a large contingent of fans from the respective schools are hoping for a little bit more.
The fearless predictions are a perfect 11-0 on the playoffs looking to go a perfect 14-0 with this weeks picks and so, without further ado…..
THOMAS — It took a little while longer for Snake River's opening night as the start time to the game was delayed by the opening games but when the contest finally tipped off, the Lady Panthers wasted little time dismantling South Fremont as they cruised to a 57-38 opening night victory.
"Defense, defense, defense. That's what we are and every team calls it something different but to us it's Panther defense and I think that we set that tone early and often," Snake River head coach Rich Dunn said. "Last year on opening night after the first quarter it was 4-2 so tonight really shows, second year for most of these kids in the program in which we all are more on the same page. Every body participated in the summer program and even though it was South Fremont's second game of the season, they were the ones that looked rusty not us."
BLACKFOOT -- Peyton Astle recorded the fastest time in the Tater Trot 5-kilometer run at Airport Park on Saturday. His top time was 23 minutes, 57.36 seconds.

In the end the Cougars were able to fend off the pesky Pirates however as they escaped Holt Arena with a hard fought 22-14 victory.
Shelley (10-0) takes on Gooding (10-0) in a battle of unbeaten teams with a spot in the 3A state title game on the line.
Gooding gets on the board quickly and leads Shelley 7-0 at the end of the first quarter.
Nelson scores on a 38-yard touchdown pass to get the Russets on the board and tie score 7-7 midway through the second quarter.
Shelley turns the ball over with fumble late in the second quarter, giving the Senators great field position at the Russets 38-yard line. But Shelley's defense comes up with a stop and the score is 7-7 at halftime.
If all goes well there are two more weeks of prep football action for the ferocious grid iron fans in Bingham County. After a most interesting quarterfinal round Bingham County has three teams remaining and the hopes of a 4A, 3A, 2A state title sweep are still alive as Blackfoot, Shelley and Firth all advanced to this weekends semi-final round.
If all goes well this weekend, then by Saturday evening there will be state championship berths for all three teams.
Last weekend, the fearless predictions were a perfect 3-0 and are 8-0 on the post season thus far and so, without further ado…..

Over the weekend, Sydney police shot two Indigenous men in an attempt to stop them from stealing a car. One of the men is not a man – he is fourteen years old. The two men are in hospital in a "critical but stable condition."
There's also video of one of the officers dragging and punching one of the men after arresting him.Today, a few hundred people gathered in the centre of Sydney to protest the shooting.
The Indigenous Social Justice Association responded by organising the protest on Macquarie Street
Aboriginal activist Graham Merritt accused Sydney police of racism.
"It's time to stand up all you young fellas and be counted. Don't let this happen to you any more," he said.
A large group of teenagers were among the 150 people protesting.
The teens cursed the police, especially the officer captured on video, until Redfern community leaders calmed the group down.
Boxer Anthony Mundine was among those in the crowd. He stood back from the main protest, but says he wanted to show his support for the group after watching video of the incident.
"I feel that it's brutality at it's best. Who shoots teenage kids, unarmed teenage, cornered, trapped, ready to be arrested?" he said.
"There is no justification for just to open fire like that, point blank range, and furthermore bash them, as they were shot.
"I saw the bloke and it just broke my heart to be honest. It really broke my heart. Fighting for his life you know?"
The state Premier has announced an inquiry, but Indigenous rights activists are calling for an external investigation, saying that it's not sufficient for the police to be investigating themselves.
