Why has learning to cook been hard (or easy) for you?
Learning to cook seems to be really hard for some people and really easy for others.
3 years ago Jamie Oliver made a wish at TED that we would teach every child in the world about food. Seems like not much progress has been made, and I'd like to dissect why.
So help me out! Why has learning to cook been hard (or easy) for you?
I know it might be hard to think back to when you learned, but what things have helped you along the way? Specific books, techniques, doing mise en place, etc. would all be helpful. What stopping points did you hit, and possibly overcome?
Thanks in advance!
Learning to cook was pretty easy for me. I grew up baking, so I'm used to using a recipe. I will say, I'm not very good at coming up with things on the fly with no recipe at all. I can tweak something, but I need a base recipe to start with. Maybe that will change someday. I started learning to cook in 2005 but I've only been having to cook daily since last year. Before that it was just the occasional Sunday night dinner when I had the time.
For me, watching someone else (people on FoodNetwork in my case) was how I learned. I'm also a details person, so never had issues following recipes. I have friends who are not details people, and they're not good at cooking at all, because they miss things in the instructions but don't have enough food knowledge to just throw something together. So, they don't cook.
I'm 31. I think my generation in general weren't really taught to cook much at home. Growing up, my folks worked, and so did my friends folks. This means dinners were often thrown together meals, often using convenience foods. My mom is actually a great cook, but she didn't have the time because she worked full time. So, nobody teaching kids how to cook at home has resulted in adults who don't know how to cook, and then that gets passed on to their kids too. Also, people these days are way busier than they used to be it seems, so lots of people rely on convenience foods like frozen meals, pre-made sauces etc, so they never need to learn how to make something themselves from scratch, nor do they have the time. So, in turn, their kids never learn either, and the cycle continues.
re: juliejulez
Great points about cooking being a generational thing. I fully agree that this is what's happening, and it's easy for it to worsen over time.
What do you think your non-detail-oriented are missing? Is it that things move too fast when they're watching recipes, or that they gloss over the finer points of recipes? Or something else entirely?
re: joshsmith
I think a lot of it is is that they miss parts of the instructions because they don't read carefully. Things like what heat level the burner should be at, or reading tbsp instead of tsp. Stuff like that.
I also think some of them try to sub things because they don't have a particular ingredient on hand, and don't have the experience to know it won't work. It can work sometimes, but often it doesn't work at all.
If you read some basic food blogs (like skinnytaste.com, which attracts the weight watchers crowd, many of whom are not good cooks), and read the questions a lot of people have in the comment section, you'll see what I mean, especially about the substitution part. Stuff like "can I sub cream cheese for the goat cheese?". Or even worse, they make wacky substitutions then complain on the site that the recipe wasn't good.
re: juliejulez
All really good insights. Thanks for sharing.
I'd read on here recently that "season to taste" simply means "salt to your liking", which was news to me. I'd just go in and add random extra spices and then get confused as to why it wasn't working.
re: joshsmith
Yup, I can see how that could be really confusing! As much as people talk crap about the Food Network, that's really how I learned to cook, and the lingo that goes with it. They still have instructional shows on during the day and on Saturday mornings. I even learned from shows like Paula Deen, even though that's not really the type of food I make.
I had just started to learn to cook during college. My friend and I were "foodies" and we liked to eat out so we tried to replicate a lot of things we tried. So it was easy to learn how to cook as I had a friend to try new things out with me. We helped each other with new techniques and ideas.
I can see it being hard for some people who have nobody to teach them. Though Youtube makes that an almost inarguable point now. However, messing up and being afraid to fail - burning expensive ingredients, these are all things that can make people afraid to learn. Also, not having the right investments (just due to a lack of knowledge of what's necessary) in kitchen tools will make it tougher for some people.
re: darrentran87
Was feeling comfortable about making mistakes with someone what alleviated some of the pain of starting out?
Do you think that maybe YouTube is still too overwhelming? Sure, there are a ton of videos. But then how do you know which ones are worth watching, where to start, and where to go next?
I personally think encouraging a culture where failure is a stepping stone to learning is important. Messing up is okay. But I'm also interested in where and why and how people mess up when learning and how to mitigate that.
It was relatively easy for me - but then I'm a chemist, and you need to have a thorough mental grasp of the concepts of recipes/mix-and-heat/accurate weighing/etc (even mise en place!). There's a saying that goes round the department "never trust a chemist who can't cook!".
In more practical terms, I learnt the old way - at my mother's apron strings! She taught it (well, Home Economics as it was called then) before my parents got married, but chose then to be a housewife so had lots of time, both to cook and to teach us. Many of the day-to-day recipes I cook come from the cookbook that her department wrote for their pupils!
Key things that I picked up on the way (some of which ended up helping the chemistry):
Initially it would just have been basic "can you stir this for me"/"weigh this for me", but we rapidly moved on. First to easy baking (great for keeping a child's attention, since it's both messy and tasty), then prep. work as it became a reasonable idea that I could use a (blunt-ish) knife, then things sped up. I remember "hosting a dinner party" (i.e. taking over and doing all the cooking one Sunday, I even chose the recipes) for my grandparents (and since both on one side were there I was younger than 13 at the time).
I then sat at about the same level until university (can feed self or a small group, not that big or complex a repertoire) - as well as sticking pretty much to traditional western European dishes (with the odd stirfry or easy curry thrown in). I think I went up to university with a better grasp of classical techniques than my peers, but a smaller repertoire (many of them being from London or similar and much more cosmopolitan than a country lad from the shires!)
First few years of university taught me inventiveness - we only had 2 hobs, a microwave and a kettle (no freezer or oven), then once I moved into privately-rented accommodation as a PhD student I started to move on up again, and branch out as well. Running the student climbing club helped with working in bulk - being able to prepare a menu for a week for 20 hungry people in a hut in the middle of nowhere at low-ish cost is a useful skill...
The other thing that's helped to push me, actually, is watching TV cookery programmes (not "this is how to cook" ones, but ones exploring regions/cuisines, or higher-end competitions like Masterchef) and copying down the recipes immediately (before I forget about the idea it gave me) - sets new challenges/techniques and gives recipe ideas that I hadn't even thought of before.
That said, no recipe seems to end up being cooked exactly as described in the recipe book, I'm constantly tweaking things!
re: DavidPonting
Interesting that the generational thing seems to apply to you as well. Mark Bittman talks about four stages of learning how to cook, and your experience seems to have gone through those stages pretty much exactly.
The dinner party idea is amazing and I'm sure you felt super confident afterwards. Were you nervous leading up to it?
Do you remember any really challenging parts as you were learning?
Do you avoid the "how to cook" TV shows then?
re: joshsmith
By "generational thing", do you mean learning from parents or the mainly age-based split into those who learnt from parents and (mostly) can cook and those who didn't and, unless they've taught themselves, can't? Because I'm 26, so my mother stopping working when she married is a statistical outlier (i.e. I've learnt in the way older generations did, despite belonging to a younger one).
I can't remember whether I was nervous, but it was only my parents, sister and grandparents, so not a particularly intimidating audience - and if I'd got stuck I could have called for help... I'd recommend encouraging/allowing it when children get to an appropriate age - get them into choosing a menu and cooking dishes right through (even if you do need to supervise). It was certainly a distinct stage in my learning (hence why I can remember it 14 years later) - to be confident that you can choose, cook and serve a meal to entertain guests opens a lot of windows, as does cooking from a recipe that you haven't seen your mother cook before!
In terms of "really challenging parts", I think that learning the really messy bits (gutting a fish, etc) came a bit early - great for a teenage boy who's lost their squeamishness about blood/organs thanks to dissections in biology, less so a few years younger when I did them. The other big one is learning to use spices correctly and similar palate tasks - perhaps since I grew up with few curries - I'm still not very good at getting a well-balanced spice mix from scratch.
I avoid the "how to cook" ones because they don't keep my attention - I already know the techniques/simple recipes demonstrated so I get bored and switch channel... Generally I want to learn something from anything I watch!
re: DavidPonting
Interesting you mentioned chemistry. When I was taking organic chem I noted the similarity to cooking and that's when my interest began
re: scubadoo97
In which? Did studying chemistry make you interested in cooking, or did you have to take a chemistry module and found it more interesting than you thought it would be because it was similar to cooking?
re: DavidPonting
In cooking but both I think. I had been around a few very good cooks in my youth so was drawn to food and cooking in general. After organic I saw recipes as formulas which were not as exacting as in say quantitative analysis. I'm still interested in the science of food and the chemistry of cooking.
I agree with darrentran87 above that messing up is a big part of learning, and your attitude toward that is all important.
I'm 50 (for those keeping track of the interesting generational question).
I started learning to cook mainly on my own when I hit college age and wanted to eat well but cheaply. One of the the things I remember very well about that initial period is that pretty much every time I cooked something--especially something new--I would do something "wrong," which is to say I learned something not to do next time. That's learning, and it's cumulative.
Now all these years later, I do something wrong much less often; but it still happens, so I'm still learning.
My mother cooked daily, so my three sisters and I were raised helping out in the kitchen. In junior high school, Home Ec was a requirement for girls, and that's where I learned a lot of the terminology and techniques of cooking and baking. By the time I was in High School, my mother was working full time, and we 4 girls took turns cooking dinner on weeknights. (Mother did the dishes, so it was a pretty fair tradeoff as far as we were concerned!) I got my own apartment at 18, married at 19, and being frugal and on a tight budget, I cooked every day. If we wanted good food, I had to cook it. Going to restaurants for dinner wasn't an option.
I think I learned the most early in my marriage. I liked to try recipes I'd heard of, but never had tasted. I cried over the french onion soup when the bread wouldn't float and sunk to the bottom of the bowl. I had a heck of a time timing bacon and eggs with toast. But it was fun, and my husband was game to try anything I made. I followed recipes to the letter then, and I think that helped me learn what flavors go together. It really does take years of practice to be confident and creative in the kitchen.
I get home from work at 2pm. There were a couple of years where my husband didn't get home until 9pm or later due to the location of a project he was supervising. That left me with lots of time to fill so I would pick a couple of recipes and try them each week.
These days he gets home between 6 and 7 usually so I still have plenty of time to cook, experiment, etc.
I had a few things working in my favor - I grew up in a house where cooking from scratch was common, and I had an interest in and some aptitude for chemistry.
But mainly this: I enjoy learning about cooking, and as such it's been easy for me.
I'm much slower to pick up on things that I don't particularly enjoy.
Ingesting thread. Thanks.
Factors leading to becoming a cook
Encouragement-please try, and positive feedback!
Freedom to fail-mistakes happen but you learn from them.
Following a recipe- the whole recipe, not just the ingredients gives you insight into standard practice that can be applied later.
Friends-taking food risks with friends is a must! You can share your triumphs and failures!
Well presented information-I have learned a lot from Food Network teachers like Alton Brown!
The right attitude..."don't be afraid', but maybe don't try something new when guests are coming. LOL
Don't apologize!
Easy for me but I've been doing it for most of my life (52 years so far). My parents cooked meals from scratch and, as they both worked, my sister and I had dinner prep, assistance, and cleanup duties from an early age. When I was about 12, we started preparing dinners at least 1 night a week, mostly from recipes my mom picked and then increasingly from recipes we chose ourselves.
As I teen, I worked on a ranch and then lived on a kibbutz where I gravitated to the kitchen and got used to cooking for crowds. In college I lived in cooperative housing where we had to plan meals and cook 1 night a week. I've always found it fun and not terribly difficult to work with food and produce attractive and delicious meals.
These days, I really enjoy using online videos to expand my cooking abilities as I find it much easier to watch, rather than read about, a new ingredient, technique, etc.
Learning to cook wasn't easy when I started but has gotten much easier as I've gotten older. I'm jealous of all of you who grew up with moms and grandmothers who were great cooks! I didn't have that, so I had to learn a lot of basic things as an adult and am totally self-taught.
I've hit two major obstacles. The first was gaining a sense of fearlessness in the kitchen. I started out being terrified about what would happen if I over/under cooked something, or didn't season it just perfectly, or curdled a sauce. Fear, fear, fear. I'm over that now. Fuchsia Dunlop's memoir and DH finding a perfectly usable wok next to the dumpster were my springboards to stepping out of my (then very small) comfort zone and experimenting with new ingredients and techniques. Now I'm very rarely intimidated by a new element. Bring it on!
The other major obstacle was learning how to let go of recipes and just cook. Tamar Adler's book "An Everlasting Meal" was a huge help to me in learning how to re-imagine leftovers and see ingredients where I used to see just trash scraps.
I'm still learning! I get ideas from other hounds, good restaurant meals, cookbooks. All the same kinds of sources listed by others here. Becoming a better cook is an ongoing process. :)
The kitchen was the social center in our house growing up and my parents learned that from it being true in both sets of grandparents houses, too. Everyone was welcome in the kitchen, meals were a group event. I have great memories of my parents drinking wine and laughing and dancing in the kitchen while making dinner.
We were always allowed to "play" in the kitchen which turned into making simple recipes at the knee of either parent (they are both excellent cooks but have totally different styles so we were exposed to a pretty wide array of items.) The rice cooker I still have, 25 years later, was something I asked for as a 16th birthday present, my immersion blender (still in use,) came along not too much later. We learned the vocabulary by listening, the technique by asking if we could help. My Dad taught us to be fearless (that there is no reason not to try unusual ingredients, new recipes, a technique you've never tried before,) my Mom taught us to be resourceful (the woman can make an amazing dinner out of what looks like nothing... and how to repurpose what we were fearless enough to try but didn't work out so well!)
The easy answer comes down to a person's interest level.
Some people are very interested. For example, I would read as many different types of books and try out different recipes.
There are people who is not interested where they just doesn't put the time into trying different recipes or even following recipes. They wonder why their dishes don't turn out so they give up.
My recommendation to new cooks is to try recipes you're interested in and spend the time perfecting, to your liking, a small set of recipes before you moving on.
Cooking has always been easy for me, but I think the keys are that I set my ego aside, and also realize that you REALLY have to screw up to make food inedible. It may not taste good, but I can eat just about anything. Eating a failure now and then helps inform the process for the next time.
I also tend to take an empirical approach to cooking, so I pay attention to cause and effect in the kitchen. I'm not terribly scientific about it - I don't measure much - but I like to try and keep track of how techniques, seasonings, temperatures, etc change the outcome of the finished dish.
Cooking was always easy for me, probably because I like to eat well. My Mom has never liked to cook so as a self preservation from fast food, I taught myself how. For some people it's a matter of interest, like my Mom, she likes good food but has no desire to make it herself. I have 5 nieces and 2 of them are incredibly picky eaters and have no desire to cook, 2 more don't care about cooking but at least will eat most of what you put in front of them and the youngest is interested in it and is already trying to learn everything she can.
My husband does like to cook too, but the difference between us is that he will always follow recipes exactly and I tend to use them as a guideline and make my own twists and changes as I go.
Learning to cook was fairly easy for me. I grew up with a family of cooks and so it was always just something that we did. I find that now I learn best by researching well and trial and error. Also, my appetite seems to drive me in the right direction and some how I've learned how to pair flavor combinations fairly quickly and also seem to have picked up on cooking to proper temperatures pretty much after a few trials with a cut of meat. Sometimes I think it's because I'm a scientist, but of course there are those that pick up on the skills quickly who aren't but I think that has helped.
Cooking has always been hard for me. I didn't grow up with parents who knew how to cook. My mother married young and had a mother who took care of everything. My father comes from a poor background where eating the same meal every night was a normal occurrence. I'm a 'picky eater' who has food texture issues. Its been hard to know what I like and how to get around my own food hang-ups. I come from a poorer family where mistakes (wasted food, disliked food) were feared.
I've always been able to follow a recipe, but I rarely liked how anything turned out. I became a good baker. I enjoy the exactness.
I would say what helped me was:
*having an interest
*reading cookbooks for ideas more than recipes/ comparing recipes for the same dish
*finding cookbooks which cover dead simple basics or techniques (Alice Waters The Art of Simple Cooking, Bittman's The Minimalist Cooks at Home) or who talk about how to make variations so I could see how things worked
*marrying a man who is very creative and free in the kitchen (learning no fear)
*meal scheduling/having a simple Plan B meal for mistakes
*sitting down and listing what I like to eat
Don't underestimate the need for a good plan when you're overwhelmed. It gives you the freedom to try things when you have time, and do what's easy when you don't. It creates an archive of what works and what doesn't. It keeps track of what people like to eat.
I'm not sure I'd call myself a cook yet, but I'm starting Bittman's 3rd stage of cooking and I feel so much closer than I did a few years ago.
re: Tam38
Your comments about a plan are so true. I think I get enjoyment out of cooking because I plan ahead. I think about what I'm making for dinner all day long, so I get excited about it. If I had to open up the fridge every night and try to come up with something for dinner, I don't think I'd enjoy cooking as much. I know others are the polar opposite though.
It was easy for me because I worked at the family restaurant. Learning proper knife handling technique is easier when you see it in person versus watching it on a video. I learned a number of cooking techniques simply be watching the dishes being prepared.
Hard because i grew up with a mother who hates to cook. We didnt have much money and she had a limited rotation.
Then easy because i met a greek family while very young. Shocking to me to see the men interested in cooking, and everyone was so passionate about it.
Not to mention an odd early penchant for reading cookbooks. Any cookbook. Trial and error didnt scare me because even my fails were better than eating SOS twice a week.
The positive reinforcement was a bonus and my desire (no, need) to try learn about other cultures even if just vicariously.
I also liked the science experienc element of learning

They won't be going anywhere since they have Walmart has a major stakeholder. But due to their type of business and the fact they are concentrated on walmarts type of customers means things wont be too good going forward. Walmart customers are already being squeezed by the inflation costs and a debit card that charges an arm and a leg is something that really isn't necessary.

A 5th Notre Dame football player is being held out of practice and competition as the university has concluded its investigation into potential academic dishonesty, Irish Coach Brian Kelly said Thursday. The situation now heads into the hands of the Honor Code committee.
"I don't know what the outcome is going to be and now we are moving very quickly," Kelly said. "With my knowledge of how our process works, we will now adjudicate very quickly."
A university official confirmed to NewsCenter 16 that safety Eilar Hardy is the 5th player.
He joins cornerback KeiVarae Russell, defensive lineman Ishaq Williams, linebacker Kendall Moore and wide receiver DaVaris Daniels as those who's cases will go to the Honor Code Committee, who will ultimately will decide the fate of each player.
Kelly says he learned the news on Thursday.
"The investigation has concluded and for our football team we feel this has brought a big part of closure for us," Kelly said Thursday. "Now we can really focus the next 48 hours for preparation for Rice. You never want to hear about a young man pulled from practice. But we've talked about this-there's accountability and responsibility that will ensue here over the next week or so."
Kelly says he has been kept informed but he doesn't have any detail information about the investigation. Kelly has withheld the players under investigation from also participating in team meetings. He says its possible those players could return to meetings next week.
Hardy is a senior who was suspended on two different occasions last year for violations of team rules. He missed games against Purdue and Stanford. Hardy had 26 tackles in 2013. 15 of those tackles came in the two games prior to his suspension for the season finale against Stanford.
Notre Dame faces Rice Saturday at 3:42pm.

Marinas and a theme park could be built in Natal in Brazil under plans to upgrade the city's tourist infrastructure.
Renato Fernandes, who is the Secretary of State for Tourism in Rio Grande do Norte, wants to add the attractions to the area which is famous for its sun and sea.
Natal forms part of the region of South America which is closest to Europe, with a flight to Lisbon in Portugal taking seven hours.
The area has a 400km stretch of coastline, sea temperatures reaching 26C all year, and only 400 to 600mm of rain every 12 months, meaning it is favoured by tourists.
With the FIFA World Cup 2014 being held in Rio, the minister hopes the plans will make Natal even more of a hotspot.
In a recent interview, Fernandes said 98 hectares of Natal's historical centre would be restored to turn it in to an open air cultural attraction for people to walk around.
The minister also said a marina would be constructed to attract lucrative nautical visitors.

This module did the job, ultimately, but it needed some tweaking.
The problem is that if you deselect "maintain aspect ratio", (say you want a square thumbnail for all images), instead of cropping them, it creates squished thumbnails.
Luckily, it also creates a permanent thumbnails subfolder in the image gallery folder. So I worked around it by replacing its thumbnails with ones I cropped to square myself.
It worked for a single gallery but I wouldn't want to have to do it on a mass scale. For that, I give 3 stars only.
Blown away.
I never thought ajax on a heavy joomla site could be this easy! You can literally browse through the whole site without even once experiencing that "page is gone - page is back" feeling like you normally do when switching URLs.
I just hope the plugin continues to be developed into joomla 3.5. I'm running joomla 2.5 for now but I think this is going to be an integral part of every website I make from now on.
Guys, I'd pay for this!
Thank you for your review,
just wanted to say that this was addressed relatively quickly
because we considered it a bug
The import did not work with
- J1.5 data of Joomfish v2.2+ or with J2.5+ Falang Data,
we could have said that this is a feature request and address it in the future
Upcoming version of FLEXIcontent will be very nice for people upgrading from J1.5 (with Joomfish) to J2.5+, or having J2.5+ with Falang and wanting to switch to the Joomla way of one article per language
Until then I never even knew how frequent brute force attempts to guess the admin password were! Nevermind the fact I changed the default admin username to something random and used a really complicated password, I still I ended up getting a dozen alerts for each joomla site I administer, per day! It really freaked me out.
With AdminExile - no more. Now the wicked hack bots can't even try. Awesome. :D
That was my intention when I wrote this extension. Because you can't bruteforce a form that you can't access.
I was migrating an old 1.5. site to 2.5. and read in the forums that it's better to use Falang.
It seems to be identical to joomfish at first, however, I realised that unlike with joomfish, the item aliases that appear in the URLs don't get translated!
This may seem like a minor compromise for a new site, but in my case all my old URLs in the second language would have to change. I'm sorry but that's an SEO disaster, and this matters to me.
I've decided to stick with the buggy prerelease version of joomfish for 2.5 instead. For now at least. I'll keep my eye on Falang too... It will be interesting to see in the near future which one of these two adapts to joomla 3.5 first... going to be quite a race I think.
Yes you're right Falang don't translate url (soon) but you can use another sef tool to do it. like joomsef , acesef, mijosef....
The version for joomla 3.0 will be launch this week.
Let me say that Metagenerator v2.0 for joomla 1.6 is still in Beta phase and bugs is expected to be found so you can go to my discussions group in order to get it working for you and all other users who can have the sample problem.
For some reason Wordpress doesn't save any or tags in its mysql tables.
Because of this, when JConverter moves content to Joomla, all the articles lose their basic formatting and become big unbroken lumps of text.
What am I supposed to do with that? Open each one manually and enter line breaks? It'll be easier to just copy paste them into a text editor manually, I don't need this plugin at all then.
Quite old post but this issue was fixed long back. Updating the thread for new users benefit.

Bright Ideas - Back to School Home Visits
Today I want to share with you one of the BEST back to school activities I have ever been a part of - - - home visits. I know for many this can be a scary or frightening idea, but it has been such a great way to begin building relationships and trust with my students and their families. The following is a list of quick tips you can use to help the home visit process go smoothly and be a success for all!
1. Invite the parents to schedule a time to meet. This way families do not feel like it is mandated that they invite you into their home. Also, offer an alternative meeting place (like a public restaurant or park) for families to have an option to meet with you somewhere else.
2. Make sure that you schedule the home visits for short bursts of time (15-20 minutes each) so that families feel like they can share with you, but also realize you have a schedule to keep.
3. Make sure you ALWAYS have a partner that visits with you. Also make sure the school and/or other officials know your schedule. It is a great idea to check in every so often with the school.
4. Be prepared with a few questions that can lead families to discuss information that you would like to know - but the most important thing during this visit is to just LISTEN. Take time to really hear what the families are sharing with you. This is not a time to tell the families what you and your classroom is all about. It is a time for the family to let you know about them and share their child with you. It may also be a good idea to take paperwork that you would like to have them complete and leave it with them to return to you on the first day of school.
5. Be an advocate within your school. Invite other teachers to join in the process. It may take a while, but soon others will see the benefits and how well you have established relationships with students and parents. Hopefully it will become a tradition for your school and then the whole community benefits!
If you liked this idea, please consider following me on Facebook, Pinterest, or TPT.

The Report by Kanishkaa Balachandran
December 5, 2012
West Indies 228 for 6 (Samuels 126, Powell 47) beat Bangladesh 227 (Mahmudullah 52, Narine 4-37) by four wickets
Scorecard and ball-by-ball details
Related Links
Players/Officials: Sunil Narine | Marlon Samuels
Matches: Bangladesh v West Indies at Dhaka
Series/Tournaments: West Indies tour of Bangladesh
Teams: Bangladesh | West Indies
With the series at stake, West Indies saved face with a four-wicket win in Mirpur, set up by the spinners and a calm century by Marlon Samuels. West Indies were set 228, not a daunting target on paper, but with their recent batting collapses and struggles and spin, a comeback win for the visitors couldn't be taken for granted. The spinners created chances and closed the gap between the two sides towards the end, but Samuels was the wicket Bangladesh wanted. They dismissed him, but a little too late, as West Indies were only six away from victory with four overs to spare.
After their Khulna horror show in the second ODI, where they were let down in all departments, West Indies did well to bounce back. A significant factor in their comeback was the re-emergence of Sunil Narine, who revived a faltering tour with a four-wicket haul. He was back at his wicket-talking best, teasing the batsmen with his drift and turn, and getting the carom ball to beat the outside edge on several occasions. West Indies needed at least one batsman to lead the way and Samuels stepped up, contributing nearly 100 to the target. The failures of the rest, barring Kieran Powell, will worry West Indies.
After West Indies lost an uncharacteristically tepid Chris Gayle cheaply, Samuels and Powell settled in to add 111 for the second wicket. They managed to get on top of the bowling because they used their feet well. A feature of Samuels' knock was his willingness to play the ball late. He used the crease well, going back to slap it square on the off side or delicately dab it away to pick up singles. If the ball was tossed up wide outside off, he waited and crashed it off the front foot past cover. Brute power and bat speed stood out in the way he fetched his boundaries.
Smart stats
Samuels also cashed in on some wayward bowling by the seamers, slapping short and wide deliveries over backward point. Spin was Bangladesh's best bet, as there was enough bite and turn to keep them interested. Samuels was hit on the pads on a few occasions with the turn and bounce getting the better off him. A bigger challenge for the spinners was the dew. They struggled to control their lengths, and the half trackers were duly punished to the boundary.
Bangladesh had an opening when Powell and Darren Bravo fell cheaply, both perishing while trying to go over the top against the spinners. Abdur Razzak managed to sneak in two wickets as his quota came to an end, getting Dwayne Smith caught in the deep and bowling Kieron Pollard through the gate.
At 182 for 5 in the 40th over, the game had opened up. West Indies had just come off an ordinary batting Powerplay, scoring just 17 runs for two wickets. Samuels ensured West Indies didn't combust, guiding the inexperienced Devon Thomas, who showed good temperament in pushing for singles to give Samuels the strike. Samuels had a close call when he nearly chipped straight to backward point on 95 and was dropped at slip soon after. A tactical error cost Bangladesh when Rubel Hossain, the right-arm seamer, was given the 45th over, with West Indies needing 34. Mushfiqur Rahim decided not to continue with a spinner, and by the end of the over Samuels had ransacked 24, including three fours and two sixes. Bangladesh's chances receded with every boundary.
The win was set up by Narine, who gave West Indies the initiative by nipping out three wickets in nine balls to open the floodgates. Prior to the third one-dayer, Narine had taken only four wickets in as many matches on tour, disappointing returns for a mystery spinner who was identified as a threat before setting foot in Bangladesh. Narine struck in his third over, inducing an edge to send back Tamim Iqbal, who shaped to cut but was squared up by the extra bounce. Naeem Islam popped a leading edge to cover, before Anamul Haque was trapped lbw with one that turned as he went forward to work it across the line.
Bangladesh had lost half their side for 116 by the 25th over, but Mushfiqur and Mahmudullah restored order with a half-century stand. Mahmudullah was the more aggressive of the two, using his feet to fetch a six over deep midwicket. Mushfiqur departed in the first over of the batting Powerplay, a period in which Bangladesh lost their way, scoring just 14 runs. Mahmudullah couldn't accelerate nor bat through the innings as Bangladesh ended with a middling total which wasn't enough to set up an unassailable series lead.

Through the teachings of yoga philosophy and creative arts, Ohana Shakti will work to unite the individual with their community, their society, and the world
About Chanti: Chanti has been studying and teaching yoga in the Tantric Hatha Linage since 2005 with her teacher Rod Stryker, founder of Para Yoga.

Have you ever wondered what is YOGA all about? Why is everyone jumping on the bandwagon? Yoga is a union of the Mind, Body and Soul. Through your physical practice, you will learn to cultivate the habit of living with more awareness, liberating yourself from fixed patterns, finding more gratitude and fulfillment.
"The rhythm of the body, the melody of the mind and the harmony of the soul, create the symphony of life." - B.K.S. Iyengar
Liya's intention is to guide students to stay present in their experiences both on and off the mat. She strives to inspire and empower students to find ease while expanding the edge of their comfort zone through my creative and alignment based sequencing infused with music, emphasizing on strength and lightness linking breath with movement. She hopes to help students align with their truth and open their hearts. Her dharma talks, where she shares her personal life stories of deep healing, are not to be missed. She encourages everyone to open their mind and heart to this experience.
Let go of the excuses, doubts, fear and expectations, go join her on the mat this week and have some fun. Check out her schedule here: http://yogaspiritflow.wordpress.com/schedule/

Why becuase of many good features it have. Using kunena you dont have to hack or modify any core files. Just install and its ready to use. No integration bridges as it is made for joomla only. Very good support at the developer website in the forums, sometimes i get response in minutes. Its GPL and can be used accordingly. Its non commercial and a helping hand towards poor joomla users. Its under development and developing extensions are good to use. I dont see any shortcomings except one i.e. no html in posts.
Overall good extension.

This one has been hanging around. It's more irratating then anything...but now the network has "bedded in" i can start looking at sorting them.
We have roaming profiles in use, server 2003, win xp workstations, We use BGInfo for wallpapers.
1: I've noticed that sometimes when a member of staff has logged on, and have used some software when they minimise the program the desktop has gone from the staff green background, to a basic blue one. Which doesnt help cus then it just looks like student account.
2: I have seen members of staff log straight onto the blue background like their profile hasnt loaded and this stops them being able to use things certain things like drivers for the Whiteboard. Staff dont swap machines a lot here so they are usually one the same one.
3: Sometimes when logging on the machine just hangs on a blue screen and the only way out is to reboot the machine.
Like i said, just PITA things which are hard to explain to teachers and i dont think they should have to be logging off and on again to load a profile properly.

Description: Summer is upon us and the city boys of London are feeling the heat, especially when it comes to their cocks! The City is heaving with hot, horny businessmen who just want to play! Three suited stunners Carlos Caballero, Patrik and Alex Parry leave their offices and head for a sleazy cruising club on the prowl for cock. When Carlos sees the handsome Patrik he moves in closer like a lion ready to catch his prey. Alex, a straight but curious city boy spots the two men and also moves in for a closer look. The action heats up as Carlos moves in on his victim Patrik, stripping him naked and begins to use and ****** the beautiful young man's body. He sucks, rims and face fucks Patrik, while voyeuristic Alex whips out his cock through his suit flies and starts to work it over. The action becomes too much for the three businessmen and culminates in Patrik and Alex shooting their huge loads of cum all over the chest and suit of Carlos followed closely by Carlos unleashing his cum. The men leave

Description: When smart suited business man Axel Brooks visits resident barber, Nathan Price, for a wet shave he gets a whole lot more than he bargained for.

What follows is two horny flip-flopping fuckers who both get their cocks serviced by each others tight holes. Nathan expert tongue sucks, licks and rims every part of the hunks body and butt before his fingers take over exploring Axels hole. His fat meaty cock pounds the Spaniard's sweet ass while they both enjoy some rough nipple play. Axel's cock takes its turn in pummeling Nathan's hole leading to a double cum shot between two men who like it hard and rough.

Description: Tommy was on the recliner and I was laying on the couch and we were watching a baseball game. No matter who I'm with or where I go I'm always watching feet. Well I glanced over a few times at Tommy's and saw him rubbing his socked feet together. I love ankle socks on a boy so I was dying to know what the socks were hiding. He slowly took the one sock off using his big toe then followed that up by doing the same with the other sock. By this time I could careless about the game on TV and all my attention was at his feet. I could not resist anymore and got off the couch and made my way to him. Once there I found a hot pair of size 12 feet. I licked and sucked till I shot a huge load of my cum on his feet.

Description: Angel is a cute Latino boy who applied to be on the site recently. He told me that he loves Daddies so I had to see for myself. He had never been in front of the camera and was a bit nervous so to relax him, I gave him a nice back rub and of course a foot massage. I oiled down his back and legs and rubbed him down good. Then it was time for my favorite part, a foot massage. He has a nice set of 9.5 size feet. As I massaged them he must have liked it cause he started feeding his feet to my mouth. I mixed in a little tickling of his feet. I loved when he put my cock in between his toes and jerked me. That was and it felt great. I ended by shooting a nice hot load of my cum all over his feet.

Now That's Hot -- NYC Firefighters Pose in Two New 2010 Calendars
That's exactly what 12 of New York City's bravest (and buffest) have done in the 2010 NYC Firefighter Gold Standard calendar. Better yet, they did it for charity. And no, we don't mean for womankind. The calendar's proceeds will benefit the city's Staten Island Burn Center.
Back in August, the New York Daily News had floated a rumor that while the guys were happy to bare their abs, the calendar would obscure the firefighters' faces. Turns out, a good idea is worth doing twice: It was actually a different 2010 daykeeper featuring another dozen six packs. (Quick: Can you do the math!?)
That one is entitled the City of the Brave Calendar, and, sure enough, you can't see the guys' mugs. But we're not entirely sure that it matters.
In any case, tomorrow night marks the launch party at P.D. Hurley's pub in New York: Beer, hot wings and even hotter firefighters from 6 to 9 p.m. It's an ingenious way to heat up a chilly winter night, and though, strictly speaking, it falls after our working hours, in the name of journalism, we'll be there.
Check back Wednesday for Lemondrop's exclusive interviews with Mr. January, February and, well, whoever else we can get our hot little notebooks close to without spontaneously combusting.
Oh, right: And if you'd like yourself 12 months' worth of 4 p.m. fantasies, both calendars are available at nyfirestore.com, though the guys without faces, for reasons unfathomable, are more costly. Check in, check back, and tell us which 2010 posse of guys you'd rather have rescue you from a burning building. Truly, we're torn.
