Bug in My Basmati!
- Jetgirly Jun 7, 2009 04:51 PM
I keep my basmati rice in its original bag, with a clip holding it shut, inside a ziplock bag. I used up the last of the rice today. When I was rinsing it, I noticed that one grain of rice was black and immediately floated to the surface. It turns out this was not a grain of rice at all, but a miniscule (dead) beetle! It must have been packaged with the rice, because it certainly didn't come from around here. Is this normal? I can't bring myself to prepare that rice and will have to open a new bag (and get a new Ziplock bag). Am I over-reacting?
I can see one through the plastic of my unopened bag too! I just bought it two hours ago! Is this some kind of Indian seasoning secret?
I don't think you're overreacting. The same thing happened to me with a container of Basmati and I took it back to the store and got another. I couldn't stomach it.
Insects in stored grain are ugly but completely harmless. Wash the rice before cooking, cook, eat, enjoy.
re: pikawicca
I have a really bad case of arachnophobia... I am supposed to take medication for it but as it would mean taking meds for the rest of my life I won't take them. If that happened to me I think I'd be off food forever!
re: pikawicca
I live in SW FL...bugs are the natives and we are NOT...so I keep my rice in the fridge, all rice, brown, basmati and long-grain white rice and it works for me.
re: pikawicca
Somehow the spider in the broccoli thing is totally different for me. I expect my food from the farmers market to have bugs on it (if it didn't, I'd wonder what they were using). I don't expect my sealed, unopened rice to have an ugly brown bug of unrecognizable species in it.
re: MrsCheese
Really? I'm totally opposite- if it's alive, like pika's, that broccoli is now one big, disgusting spidey-town (I mean really, it probably laid a gazillion baby spiders in there!!! no, no, no!!)
A dried up bug? Pluck it out and keep going. It may skeeve me for a few minutes but I'll get over it...
Three of the last four bags of basmati I've purchased over the past year came with extra protein. All were quality brands from a good store. Two were better than average rice and given the rice shortage, I wasn't about to trash them.
I put each bag in the freezer for a week and then let the bag come back up to room temperature. I then spread the rice out on a clean surface and sorted out all of the foreigners. The rice was then rebagged in a quality zip-up bag. I have not noticed any re-infestation in last 8 months but I do go through any rice I'm using like I would dry beans looking for anything I may have missed.
Just remember to wash it off. As Madhur Jaffrey said in one of her articles, "You must remember that aged basmati has lain on a floor for a couple of years with the local Indians walking barefoot through it with a rake to stir it up".
re: OnkleWillie
Aged basmati???? Why? Aromatic rices like basmati are best consumed as close to milling after drying as possible.
re: Sam Fujisaka
I think you have said this before, yet basmati (in South Asia) IS aged to accentuate its characteristics. Basmati is a strange beast among rices Here is an explanation on a commercial site as to why its aged - I didnt have time to locate any research sources.
re: jen kalb
Not sure what is going on with that. All rice is dried to 14% prior to husking and milling. Too wet or too dry and you get a lot of broken grain. By the time the whole grain registers 14%, what ends up as milled rice is already drier.
In India, the best tasting and most aromatic basmati was always the "freshest" after normal drying, husking, and milling.
re: Sam Fujisaka
I wonder whether you will find Indian culinary experts taking that view.. The things I have read are all consistent with the link I sent you. Basmati is a very dry rice (preferentially) and the length of the rice grain is key in the aesthetics of the food.Id beinterested in any more into you find.
I understand, but I figure that's why I'm rinsing and examining the rice, so I would use the cleaned rice anyhow (and have done so).
I hate to break it to you, but absolutely every grain you've ever eaten that you didn't produce yourself was siloed with bugs at some point in its delivery to your house. Modern production methods usually filter them out, but it's not uncommon to find one.
I've had a problem with LIVE bugs in dried noodles a time or two, always made in China or Korea. Once, they created quite the colony in my cabinet, spreading to a box of Italian penne. Talk about ick.
But, you know, you eat peanut butter, I bet. It's really true that (minuscule) bits of critter get ground up in that product.
re: dmd_kc
Re: Peanut Butter
But... but... but... I'm a vegetarian!
re: Jetgirly
I was, too, for 17 years.
Ignorance is bliss.
Trust. You'll survive.
re: dmd_kc
No, modern rice production doesn't include filtering. Rice is dried to 14% moisture, husked and milled in one operation and bagged. There are generally no stoage weevils in the processed rice. Insects can enter into the bagged milled rice - but pose no real problem other than aesthetic.
re: Sam Fujisaka
I read somehere they come from eggs that are already present. I've had the same thing happen to corn meal and flour, plus jasmine rice that comes from Thailand.
re: James Cristinian
Insect eggs mixed in with unhusked rice do not survive milling. Insects might enter if the milled rice is stored in bulk - but they prefer rice before milling. Thai rice processing is state of the art - no reason their rices should be associated with any contamination.
re: Sam Fujisaka
We got one bag from a place we usually don't shop, and a brand we usually don't buy. I persuaded my wife to buy one from a close by Korean market instead of going to Houston's sprawling, prosperous, "Chinatown," which is really a mixture of everything Asian. She'd been buying this rice for years since before we got married. I hadn't been there in quite awhile, and couldn't believe the size of it. People may not think of Houston and Asian, but we are there, very much a huge plus for our city.
re: James Cristinian
me too. flour beetles manage to get in there somehow - Ive opened new jasmine rice and every other kind of rice and flour bags and there they are.
To be honest, I'd be surprised if a bag of rice didn't come with at least a couple of bugs (and a couple of pebbles and some weed seeds) in it. Not to frighten you, but it's just something I have come to expect.
My desire for rice was stronger than my fear of miniscule beetles. Just. So I ate the rice from the new bag. I tried to re-find the little bug I'd seen, but I couldn't. I'll be extra-cautious as I eat my way through the bag. I usually get my basmati from the bulk bins at the health food store and haven't noticed this problem before. I just moved close to an Indian grocer and both the bags I've bought there have had bugs. Alas.
As an aside, I don't think it would be such a big deal if I didn't have such a bad case of arachnophobia (as well as other random bugs, with no discernible pattern as to what will make me freak out). When I see a spider I break into a cold sweat and start hyperventilating. In bad cases (big spider, nobody else around to deal with it) I will vomit and/or lose vision. I'm a pretty brave person (I hiked through the jungle in Honduras barefoot! I've fought off two attackers!) but bugs are "my thing".
re: Jetgirly
-this is an easy context for desensitization since these bugs dont DO anything. These particular bugs (Im assuming they are black and skinny) are also found in flour dont do any particular damage to the rice and are not going to crawl out on you. There are two ways to reduce the number. One is to sieve the rice. That will reduce dust and debris, and bugs. The second is to wash the rice. I always wash my rice in several waters before using. I dont stop washing til the water becomes clear and there are no more bugs. Basmati likes being washed -soaked before cooking anyway.
I guess now is a bad time to tell you every loaf of bread has at least some milled insect in it.
re: ipsedixit
"Or get over never eating rice again." Or anything else.
Get over the beetle thing.
You're probably eating more beetles than you think. "Natural" red dye is made from ground up beetles and is in many everyday foods and costmetics like the red lipstick you wear.
I live in Florida, where a bug is our state bird!
We're at that time of year where we expect to see small outbreaks of bettles in things like flour and rice.
The worst I've ever seen are in bags of dried chili's, and once, an entire can of smoked paprika was 3/4 full of beetles.
We have to very vigilant about inspecting the pantry.
Growing up, mom would always store the rice in an airtight pail of sorts (a true 'fan toung') for fear of bugs and mice getting in. This is my method for never having bugs in rice:
Upon picking up a bag of store bought rice, make sure you get a dry and black-speckled free one. Empty the entire bag into a separate container and get rid of the packaging (has probably been through many a warehouse, plane, or crate which has many points of contamination). And the packaging normally freaks me out - would rather the rice be in a sterile container. At the same time I inspect it to see if I really need to return the rice to the store. I also use a pet food container that's perfectly sealed (they advertise ant-free) it's perfect.
re: morefuuud
Wouldn't it be a mei toung?
re: KTinNYC
Since you're boiling the rice, anything live in there is going to die, anyway, right? :)
When we lived in Arizona we had those little black bugs worm their way into everything - rice, flour, sugar... no matter what I did. But I always saw them in the rice, so I don't think I ever accidentally ate them.
Anyhow, my mother-in-law (who lives in India) showed me how to make Basmati - it involves soaking the rice a bit, then putting it in a sieve and running a lot of water through it to wash it, and THEN boiling it. I'm pretty sure any germs or bugs will be washed away and killed during that process.
re: KTinNYC
aww mei toung, you got it right - it's technically mei before fan, eh? my chinglish is failing me....

X-Men 2: Fall of the Mutants is a role-playing DOS game for the PC. It follows the basic story of the X-Men crossover storyline "Fall of the Mutants".The X-Men have come looking for their allies Storm and Forge, only to run into Freedom Force, who've been sent to capture them. Soon both teams find themselves caught in a bizarre time warp caused by the powerful being known as the Adversary, who has imprisoned Storm and Forge. Uatu the Watcher appears at the beginning and introduces the game as a parallel universe's version of the story from the "real" Marvel timeline in the vein of Marvel's What If? series. In this case, "What if a different team of heroes fought the Adversary?"The game uses an overhead view during normal play as characters move around the map, as they look for enemies, health crates, and traps. When the X-Men encounter an enemy, the game switches to a side view close-up during the battle scenes. In each level the object is to search for a pair of Freedom Force members and defeat them in battle, but only the defeat of one villain will send the player's team to the next level. After completing enough levels the heroes are thrust into battle with the Adversary himself.Needs Wiki Magic Love.

For new questions please post at magento.stackexchange.com, the community-run support site for the Magento community. We will be providing updates on the new forum solution soon. For questions or concerns please email email@example.com.
I had a question I could not find an answer to through search. It deals with multiple attributes and how to import them without having to do them by hand.
I make all natural soaps. As some people are allergic to certain ingredients, I want an "ingredients" attribute that is searchable and is displayed on the product page. Obviously with different bases, moisturizers, exfoliants, fragrances etc.. there are thousands of possible ingredients.
I went ahead and created one product manually. I also created the "ingredients" attribute as a "Multiple Select" and I made it visible on product pages and searchable etc etc..
I then exported this one product and used it as a template, and added a few more products and imported it.
Sku, description, price etc all are fine EXCEPT the "ingredients" attribute. I was hoping since I created the attribute it would automatically add the new ingredients from the new products to that attribute, but it does not.
I must say that adding labels/options to the multiple select attribute through admin menu is exceedingly slow. And with thousands of ingredients to do it manually is just ludicrous.
Is there a way the import/export feature can be used for more than just products or customers? I also have lots of compliments for some of my products that I would like to add as well in the review and ratings section, but again going into each product and manually adding things is slow.
Am I doing something wrong or is there an easier way of doing it and I'm not seeing it? Any info would be appreciated.
Thank you for your time,
I have a crude way of doing it and is working well for me ...have imported around 22K multi-select attribute values with this.
Two files required for this
File 1: placed on home folder (maybe secure this to be run as a cron only) - This requires the attribute_id of the multi-select attribute being imported
<?phpdefine('MAGENTO', realpath(dirname(__FILE__)));ini_set('memory_limit', '32M');set_time_limit (0);require_once MAGENTO . '/app/Mage.php';Mage::app();echo 1;try { $obj = new Mage_Eav_Model_Import(MAGENTO); echo 2; $obj->saveOptionValues(579); //579 for âingredientsâ // 55 for manufacturerecho 3; } catch (Exception $e) { echo $e->getMessage();}
File 2: Place this in app\code\core\Mage\Eav\Model and name it Import.php
<?phpclass Mage_Eav_Model_Import extends Mage_Eav_Model_Mysql4_Entity_Attribute{ private $fileName ; private $delimiter = '|'; private $enclosure = '"'; public function __construct($baseDirectory) { parent::__construct(); $this->fileName = $baseDirectory . '/var/import/importAttrib.csv'; echo $this->fileName; } private function &getCsv;() { $file = fopen($this->fileName,"r"); while(! feof($file)) { $csvArr[] = fgetcsv($file, 0, $this->delimiter, $this->enclosure); } fclose($file); return $csvArr; } protected function populateOptionTable($attribId) {echo "Upload Begin"; $fields = array(); $values = array (); // store id => values $optionValues = array (); // option id => $values $option = array ('value' => $optionValues); $updateOptionValId; $values = null; $row = null; $disCounter = 0; $optionTable = $this->getTable('attribute_option'); $optionValueTable = $this->getTable('attribute_option_value'); $write = $this->_getWriteAdapter(); $csvStoreArr = array(); // Get CSV into Array $csv = & $this->getCsv(); $read = $this->_getReadAdapter(); // exit if the csv file is empty or if it contains only the headers if (count($csv) < 1 or count($csv) == 1) return; $fields = $csv[0]; // get the field headers from first row of CSV // get the store Ids $stores = Mage::getModel('core/store') ->getResourceCollection() ->setLoadDefault(true) ->load(); // determine the stores for which option values are being uploaded for foreach ($fields as $hdr) { if($hdr === 'position' || $hdr === 'isDefault' || $hdr === 'ERROR') { continue; } foreach ($stores as $store) { if ($store->getCode() === $hdr) $csvStoreArr[$hdr] = $store->getId(); } } // start reading the option values - from row 1 (note that 0 represents headers) for ($indx=1;$indx<count($csv);$indx++) { $values = null; // initialize to null $row = $csv[$indx]; // get row if(isset($row) && count($row) > 0) { //escape the single quote //$whereParam = $read->quote($row); if (is_array($row)) $whereParam = '(\''.implode($row,'\',\'').'\')'; else if (strlen($row)) $whereParam = '(\''.$row.'\')'; $select = $read->select()->from(array('vals' => $optionValueTable)) ->join(array('opt' => $optionTable),'opt.option_id=vals.option_id') ->where('opt.attribute_id=?', $attribId); $select = $select ->where('vals.value in ' . $whereParam); $optionValData = $read->fetchAll($select); unset($select); // get the option Id for this option if (count($optionValData) > 0) { $optionValDataRow = $optionValData[0]; $optionId = $optionValDataRow['option_id']; } else $optionId = null; $intOptionId = (int) $optionId; if (!$intOptionId) { $data = array( 'attribute_id' => $attribId, 'sort_order' => isset($option['order'][$optionId]) ? $option['order'][$optionId] : 0, ); try{ $write->insert($optionTable, $data); $intOptionId = $write->lastInsertId(); } catch (Exception $e) { Mage::log($e->getMessage()); } } else { $data = array( 'sort_order' => isset($option['order'][$optionId]) ? $option['order'][$optionId] : 0, ); $write->update($optionTable, $data, $write->quoteInto('option_id=?', $intOptionId)); } $colIndx = 0; //initialize row's column index if (isset($row) && is_array($row) && count($row) > 0) { foreach($row as $optVal) { if ($fields[$colIndx] !== 'position' || $fields[$colIndx] !== 'isDefault' || $fields[$colIndx] !== 'ERROR') { $values[$csvStoreArr[$fields[$colIndx]]] = $optVal; // store id => option value } $colIndx++; } } } if (isset($values) && is_array($values) && count($values) > 0) { foreach ($values as $storeId => $value) { if (!empty($value) || strlen($value) > 0) { $value = trim($value); $data = array( 'option_id' => $intOptionId, 'store_id' => $storeId, 'value' => $value, ); $optionValInsert = true; $optionValUpdate = false; foreach ($optionValData as $valData) { if ((int)$valData['option_id'] === $intOptionId && (int)$valData['store_id'] === $storeId) { $optionValInsert = false; if (strcasecmp(trim($valData['value']), $value) !== 0) { $optionValUpdate = true; $updateOptionValId = $valData['value_id']; } break; } } if ($optionValInsert) { $write->insert($optionValueTable, $data); Mage::log('Inserted Value -'.$value); } else if ($optionValUpdate) { $write->update($optionValueTable, $data, $write->quoteInto('option_id=?', $updateOptionValId)); Mage::log('Updated Value -'.$value)
Now place the values that you need to import in a CSV file like below and place this CSV file var/import directory and name this file importAttrib.csv
Now import these attribute values by accessing the URL
http://<your wesite>/ImpAttributes.php
Happy Importing . Please let me know how this can be improved. Haven't had the time to change it.
Hello Srinigenie,
Thanks for the post. Also thank you for your participation in these forums. You have helped me indirectly in a handful of other posts as well lol
Im actually just going to bed so I can't try this till the morning. But I do have a few questions.
These are idiotic questions lol but keep in mind I'm a soap maker not a php pro like yourself. lol
1. For file #1 I just copy it word for word into dreamweaver etc.. save it as the php. But how do I find out what the "attribute_id" is? Do I use PHPmyadmin or something similiar?
2. For file #2 do I have to change anything or is that word for word copy and paste.
If you can answer the 2 questions above for me I can handle step 3 without any help woohoo lol
Thanks again for your help.
hi Scott ... unsure on the dreamweaver ...but to determine the attribute_id, I think it is displayed on the Admin login when you edit the attribute (check the URL when you edit the attribute).
I guess, it should work without making any change..let me know if you are stuck somewhere.
I got those 3 files set up and put in the folders mentioned. I obviously screwed the pooch on something lol because when I go to the page I get this error:
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected $end in \www\magento1019870\ImpAttributes.php on line 15
I look on line 15 and it looks fine. I ran a validator that comes with the software and it says everything is fine.
Could it be some setting on the server that is causing the issue?
Thanks again,
my bad!!! I hadn't closed the catch block in the exception handler!!! ...I have corrected the ImpAttributes.php file in my first post .. please copy this again and retry.
Hi Srinigenie,
Thanks for the update. Whatever you added got rid of that particular error. Thank you very much. However now it says:
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ';', expecting '(' in \www\magento1019870\app\code\core\Mage\Eav\Model\Import.php on line 13
Look forward to your reply, although you guys are 13 or 14 hours ahead of us here in the states. I think you're probably just sitting down for dinner.
Chew faster!! lol j/k
I'll go ahead and go to bed and have nightmares of Satan punishing me in hell by making me enter bulk attributes manually in Magento lol
in Import.php, remove the semicolon in line 13
private function &getCsv;()
I wonder why the forum is adding this character despite me removing it :(!!
srinigenie - 03 June 2008 11:52 PMin Import.php, remove the semicolon in line 13
private function &getCsv;()
I wonder why the forum is adding this character despite me removing it :(!!
in Import.php, remove the semicolon in line 13
private function &getCsv;()
I wonder why the forum is adding this character despite me removing it :(!!
These forums tend to break code quite a bit if you don't get it right the first time. I have some posts I can't edit anymore because of that…
I should have done this before ..I am attaching the Import.php file
It seems without the forum butchering your script/code Im not recieving errors anymore. Here is what is happening now.
1. I run the script
2. It creates a blank value entry in my ingredients attribute. with Admin and default store view blank and position has 0.
3. On the actual ImpAttributes.php webpage it returns this message:
111\www\magento1019870/var/import/importAttrib.csv2Reading file contents - \www\magento1019870/var/import/importAttrib.csvUpload BeginNotice: Undefined index: Collagen in \www\magento1019870\app\code\core\Mage\Eav\Model\Import.php on line 121
So its trying to work its magic. I have put single and double qoutes around the word thinking maybe it had to be seperated or something. But no go. I use MS Excel to make my spreadsheets, I have seen some posts saying excel isnt good to use. Should I maybe download open office or something?
Again thanks for your help Srinigenie!!
PM me your CSV file. Hope you are have fed the right attribute Id.
It must have been something with MS Excel I downloaded CSVed and remade the attribute file and it worked like a charm except for one thing.
Ingredients that have an apostrophe like "Ewe's Milk" dont import correctly. It mentions a violation of sql syntax. Is there a way I can get around this?
And also I was wondering, for the position, if I did want them in a particular order, could I just add a second column in the csv and label it position or something?
Again I can't thank you enough!!!

Posted Thursday, January 3, 2013 -- 7:50 a.m.
MILWAUKEE (AP) -- The new Wisconsin Assembly leader says Republicans plan to push for a reduction in the state income tax during the 2013 legislative session.
Assembly Speaker Robin Vos says the GOP favors a cut in the tax rate for individuals and families earning between $20,000 and $200,000 a year. Voss tells the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel the state's tax system is too complex and that too many tax credits have been created. He says Republicans want to eliminate some tax credits for business sectors that don't appear to be generating the intended economic boost.
Vos officially begins his leadership of the 99-member Assembly when the legislative session begins Monday.

InStyle.com says: NBC took a risk with
this shoppable show. While only a handful of designs excited the buyers from Saks Fifth Avenue, H&M, and Macy's, some went above and beyond. These floral shorts by Ross Bennett in episode three incited a bidding war between Macy's and H&M, with the former walking away with the design for a cool $120,000.
EW.com says: This winning piece may have been the highlight of the first season, but it definitely shows the sartorial heights possible for the recently announced second season.Read MoreLess

Would this be a better choice than the Easton Rival XXL?
The Louisville Slugger TPX EXOGRID 2: YB12EX2 Youth and Easton Rival XXL are both great one-piece bats. The composite inserts in the handle of the EXOGRID 2 will help reduce more vibration.
I play in a private league (BYBA) that allows only "all aluminum bats"; no composite. I see that this is a one-piece bat but with carbon inlays. Would you think it is legal?
When concerning the legality of any bat, it is always best to verify what bats are approved with a league official. The Louisville Slugger TPX EXOGRID 2: YB12EX2 Youth bat does feature the carbon composite inserts, but it also has an internal composite sleeve running through the bat.
My 13 year old son had a Easton Speed bat when he was 10, what bat would be comparable today? I am looking for my 7 yr old who weighs 60 lbs (not sure of height). He is strong, athletic, and has a strong swing. He will be hitting off a pitching machine.
The Louisville Slugger TPX EXOGRID 2: YB12EX2 Youth bat would not be very comparable to the old Easton Speed. A comparable bat is the 2013 Easton S1: YB13S1 Youth bat. This bat would be good for your younger son also.
Product Description
Since 1884, Louisville Slugger has been on the cutting edge of bat technology. This year the TPX line brings a new dimension in performance technology to the table. The EXOGRID 2 is one of the most innovative bats to ever hit the market. This bat starts out with Louisville Slugger's SC21 Scandium Alloy which is one of the most durable and responsive alloys on the market. Moving toward the handle you'll find that the metal is trimmed into a grid-like pattern and replaced with carbon composite inserts. These inserts are several times stronger than the metal they replace which gives the EXOGRID 2 not only it's name, but it's unwavering durability. Inside the bat, the heart of the EXOGRID 2 can be found in the form of an internal carbon composite sleeve. This provides greater handle stiffness than alloy alone ever could. All of these parts are brought together using Louisville Slugger's EXOGRID Bi/Fusion Process, where a combination of heat and extreme pressure bond everything into a single, solid unit. The EXOGRID 2 has a 2 1/4 inch barrel and 7/8 inch standard handle with a synthetic grip. It is topped off by Louisville Slugger's patented Pro Cup Endcap. Louisville Slugger: Intimidate at the Plate! The EXOGRID 2 is approved for play in Little League, Pony, Dixie, AABC, Babe Ruth, and USSSA. It is backed by a Full Twelve (12) Month Manufacturer's Warranty. Free Shipping!

This was the best tour we arranged through Viator. Guide was very efficient and took us to many places other tours did not. Took us to one of the best restaurants we visited in our 2 weeks abroad. Elephant Park was clean, very friendly and was a blast!!

Awesome experience!!! Got more than I was expecting, including mid morning fruit, refreshment and lunch. Visitors are encouraged to touch and pat the elephants and monkeys. They encourage tipping to buy fruit for the animals which you can feed them, which also helps ensure the animals eat well. The guide was excellent and was responsible for the small group for the entire day, spoke clearly and was very friendly and happy to provide comphrehensive insights into the animals, sights and answer your questions. The animal experience was amazing. We even stopped to see tigers. Take some extra baht for photos, tips, tigers. Overall, excellent value.

When The Floodlights Fade: Garry Birtles profiles the striker who joined Manchester United as one of English football's most expensive players, only to endure a long goal drought.
Garry was plucked from non-league football by Nottingham Forest boss Brian Clough and played a key role in the outstanding side that won the European Cup in two consecutive years, before the then-Reds boss Dave Sexton brought him to Old Trafford.
The £1million-plus move did not work out as Garry would have liked, and in this hour-long MUTV documentary, he talks frankly about his time at United, his rise through Forest's ranks and what happened after Ron Atkinson sold him back to the City Ground in 1982. Atkinson and former team-mates Bryan Robson and Ray Wilkins all discuss Garry's playing days and there's also a look at his current career as a top TV pundit. This is his story, in his own words and it's only on MUTV.
When The Floodlights Fade: Garry Birtles will first be shown on MUTV at 18:30 BST on Saturday, with other chances to see it including 21:00 BST on Sunday.

Judging The Judges: Star Power Alone Can't Revive 'American Idol' Ratings
The early- to mid-2000s were a simpler time in music. Rock music was actually thing on popular radio. Production on hit singles was often stripped down nearly to its core rather than with bombastic synths and beats. People still (kind of) bought albums, at least early on in the decade. And American Idol was more about the singers than it was the judges.
