They say the greatest things in life are free,
And i now believe this is true.
Because nothing compares to what i feel,
Everytime i am with you.
I never thought someone could capture my heart,
Or knock me off my feet.
That someone could make me fall so hard,
To a point where its hard to sleep and eat.
The way you can brighten up my day,
The minute you come into view,
Makes me realize the best things in life,
The best, being you.
The best part is when you touch me,
How you hold me so tight.
How at that very moment i want nothing more,
Than to be with you day and night.
So tell me you feel the same way,
And that you will never leave.
Because love is the greatest gift to give,
But even better to receive!

let's talk for hours no one has to know
your voice smooths my tension,
in the most striking pose
your over exaggeration is welcome here,
its my favorite song, playing on and on
we only have to spend one night together,
because it will stay forever
like of the scrapbooks when we were young
a stellar caption in each others grasps
let's watch the sunset replay for hours,
no one has to know ;;
just another boy another name another date
her hearts slides as she continues to play heart
she does it just for the thought,
the thought of having something almost real
real love, the dream so far away
imaginable of the most least
the kisses -- his blis but remain her imitation
she DECLARES she can taste it,
but the truth has been delayed
her regretful prospect had been forever lost,
but still conveys dispair
the words "i love you" are recurred in an absent book of lust
the next day is past as memory follows --
a new face prominent of hope
her pose expressed salient, a stunnimg lie of disaster
this ruin shall remain, the ending internally unwritten...
the house lays on the shore quiet and content
it holds stories no one will ever know
that's where it happened where my heart departed
too far to be retrieved and too far gone
it's been awhile now and my body is growing cold
maybe it's still there --
rotting away of what used to be of life
a boy who made it beat twice as fast
and then broke it
walking on it as he left
to where summer ends and reality begins
the days get colder and the hours they stretch this state of mind rests
to never erode
cracks a smile
"she's better now" they say it's tuesday now, she cries herself to sleep
tears are the only thing that soothe her face
and ease her shattered heart
it's where you wanna be
reality not a word, but a place far off
hearts prosper living forever
never to be broken or used
he's only yours and no one elses
time is endless the moments never memories
holding hands that never let go
and a kiss that never ends
honesty is ripe -- with the water feeling just right
sun rises and sets
it's beauty paused and kept
forever in each others arms
her heart drops
it's falling thirteen stories
memories of the past
and what will never be
her strenght is crushed
these thoughts rob her and leave her here to immerse
left lifeless and spent
who's to aide her now
SOS calls have been depleted
find her now
she's washed up on shore
quietly waiting,
waiting for him

This is what I don't understand
something that is supposed to make you feel
so complete, bring you such happiness,
ends up like this. There were no fireworks
or explosions. Just the taste of cheap beer.
And the saddness you were trying to forget,
well it takes over.
Stay or leave
I want you not to go
But you should
It was as good as good gets
Stay or leave
I want you not to go
But you did.
As she nervously awaits
He makes the drive across town
She wants to impress him
yet secretly knows she never will
He always wants her
to be something she's not
She claims she loves him
but truely, she only loves the idea of him
Another fictious night out
with all of his friends
She sits lonely
while he gets high
He drinks and drinks
and never thinks
about what she wants
or needs from him.
(I posted this on here before)
Lets run away together
Share secrets
Start our life
Make promises
And never love anyone else
I swear I can get lost in your eyes
You got that lovin look baby
Whispher sweet nothings to me
Oh how beautiful you are
How could you look me
straight in the eyes
And say you dont want to be with me?
After I cry,
you take it back
You say it was just a joke.
But tell me
What kind of joke is supposed to make me cry?
News flash
Youre a bad comedian
I need a few minutes
just to clear my head
To talk to my best friend
To figure out what I am supposed to say,
after you told me you didnt mean it
well, what did you mean by it?
dont worry
you know i will come back
i always do.
tell me whatcha think

I loved you more than anything
I loved you more than life
I loved you more than lollipops
I loved you like my knife
I fooled myself about your truth
I'd forgiven all your lack
I smiled past the tears I'd wept
And then I took you back
Then I saw how I had changed
I wasn't who I used to be
Someone's here who treats me right
I left you like you did to me
I go about my day with a smile
painted on my face
But I'm not really happy,
that simply ain't the case
You never treated me the way you should've
until it was too late
And then you looked to me with "why's"
And I just looked away
I couldn't take another day
Of broken promises and maybe's
I hope you're crying now
Because I'll never be your baby

here's a couple that i wrote. hope they r okay.
you've done it, you've made me
start to fall in love with you.
i'm sitting here crying because
i'm so scared. but at the same time
i'm so happy i'm falling in love with you.
you're the person i've waited for all this time,
the person i've looked for all my life
and when i least expected it you walked into my life.
you listen when i talk, are there when i cry
and you made me finally smile. i'm crying for
the last time i hope, and i trust that you won't hurt me.
it's so hard for me to trust guys, but you're
worth it to me. so, here's my heart, see all the
little cracks? they're pretty small and healed
nicely, but you, i know, that you're the one that
could make it completely shatter. promise me you
won't, please, promise me you'll love me forever
and that you won't break my heart. even if you
can't promise me that, i'll give you my heart anyway.
cause i know that if i don't i'll regret it for the rest of my life.
you're the only person who is necessary in my life.
put away the book.. the description,
the tradition, the authority & take *
the journey of self-discovery. love,
and don't be caught in [opinions] &'
ideas about what love is or should/
be. when you love, everything will
come right. love has its own action.
love, and u will know the blessings
of it...keep away from the authority
who tells u what love is and what
it is not. no authority knows and he
who knows ------------» cannot tell
love.... and there is understanding'
ive just met you recently *
but i've known you forever
u're the [ person ] i used to
to dream about and NEVER
thought i would find xoxo
this girl was perfect in the light
but what the boy never knew is she cried at night
thinking that he never cared
knowing that he never did what he dared
losing her faith in the day
entering at night her pain still stayed
tears well up in my eyes.
they glisten as the light reflects off `em.
slowly they begin to fall.
soon enough my cheeks are drenched in my own tears.
timidly, i begin to whisper those three magical words.
until i finally realize you're not even there anymore.
if they r good plz tell me & i*ll post more. thnx

Three to Four Person Corner Infrared Sauna
Saunas provide people with soothing relief from muscle aches and pains; revive tired and strained muscles after physical activity; help minimize respiratory problems such as chest congestion, bronchitis, laryngitis, and sinusitis. Saunas also help skin health by opening pores to release dirt and other contaminants and providing relief from common skin problems such as eczema, psoriasis, and acne.
Now you can have all the benefits of a sauna in your own home with a far infrared (FIR) sauna. Unlike traditional saunas that use heated rocks and steam, a far infrared sauna uses a region of the electromagnetic spectrum just above microwaves but less than visible light. Far infrared is a longer wavelength (5-40 microns) which produces heat slowly - this energy is capable of penetrating deep into tissue. Far infrared is recognized by the Mayo Clinic and the FDA as having health benefits for chronic conditions such as congestive heart failure, high blood pressure, and rheumatoid arthritis.
Back to
Infrared spas heat up through direct heating of your skin rather than through ambient temperature, meaning that the sauna doesn't have to be as hot as a traditional sauna and you can stay in for longer. Since these infrared spas do not create humidity, which bacteria loves, they are far more hygienic than "hot rock" style saunas.
Infrared saunas are for indoor use only and can be assembled in less than 30 minutes. One Person Sauna uses 110 volts to operate so you can plug it into any standard electrical outlet without the hassle of wiring.
- Constructed from Hem-Fir wood and features durable non-toxic, odor-free timber on all Interior panels, ceiling, floor, and exterior side panels
- Doors and windows feature large tempered glass
- Operates on 110 volts, and plugs into a standard electrical outlet
- High quality, therapeutic grade ceramic far infrared heater
- Dual digital control panels, one inside & one outside of the sauna
- Powerful and feature rich AM/FM CD player with internal speakers
- Variable watt light socket for reading light or other accessories
- Short heat-up time of only 10-minutes
- Generous fresh air ventilation
- Assembles within 30 minutes using only a screwdriver
- Backed by a 5 year warranty on workmanship, 1 year on electric circuit board, control panel and CD player and a lifetime warranty on infrared heaters
- Indoor use only

2008 Wide Format Graphics Market
Hardware, Media, and Ink Revenues Reach $12.7B by 2012
The wide format graphics market generated total manufacturer revenues at the retail level for hardware, media, and ink of $9.8 billion in 2007 and is expected to generate manufacturer revenues of $12.7 billion in 2012, a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of five percent. I.T. Strategies segments the wide format graphics market into three primary technology categories�aqueous, solvent, and UV. It is further divided by type, size, or price.
The wide format graphics market includes large displays and vehicle wraps. Developing applications include decorative�such as wallcoverings and ceramic tile�as well as textiles used for wallcoverings, window treatments, and bedding. Initially a market for short runs, the introduction of highly productive UV printers opened the market to longer runs, challenging screenprinting. As a result, the wide format graphics market is growing incrementally in those products that cannot be printed any other way such as bus wraps and building wraps, and as a replacement of screenprinting.
One of the hottest topics in the wide format graphics market today is environmental sustainability or "green." Print providers see an advantage in refocusing their shops towards green processes and output. Many find that customers are requesting green products. Today, those print providers refocusing towards green are using it as a differentiator. In time, being green will become a cost of doing business. A bigger issue is how wide format inkjet printing will be positioned in the future against screen and other analog print processes in reference to green.
Revenue from Hardware, Media, and InkHardware Overall wide format inkjet hardware revenues will grow from $2 billion in 2007 to $2.6 billion in 2012, a CAGR of five percent. Hardware revenues are driven by the growing sales of UV roll-to-roll and flatbed sales which will almost double from $500 million in 2007 to more than $1 billion by 2012.
MediaWide format inkjet media revenues will grow from $4 billion in 2007 to $5.6 billion in 2012, a CAGR of seven percent. In terms of market revenues, media revenues will increase from 40 percent in 2007 to 44 percent in 2012 driven by the increasing installed base of highly productive UV printers.
InkWide format inkjet ink revenues will grow from $3.8 billion in 2007 to $4.5 billion in 2012, a CAGR of three percent. Over the forecast period ink revenues will decrease as a percentage of total market revenues�from 39 to 35 percent�reflect the continued shift in the market from costly aqueous inks to more affordable solvent and UV-curable inks.
Revenue from Hardware, Media, and Ink by Type of PrinterAqueous Aqueous printers, which made up more than half of total market revenues since the mid 1990s, currently make up 39 percent of total market revenues. This share is expected to drop to 30 percent by 2012. Overall aqueous revenues are flat. For the most part this is a replacement market especially in the professional sectors where there is stiff competition from eco-solvent printers.
SolventSolvent revenues will grow at a three percent CAGR over the forecast period, driven by the sales of eco-solvent printers to small print shops. The in-house segment is less impacted by eco-solvent printers, most likely because of issues with solvent odors, and remains a growth area.
UVUV revenues continue to show double digit growth throughout the forecast period. UV printers are defined as inkjet printers where the inks are cured by UV light. Print shops purchase these printers, both roll-to-roll and flatbed, for increased productivity and flexibility with relation to substrates. The increased popularity of hybrid printers also fuels this segment.
UV inkjet printers are expected to increase from 14 percent of total market revenues, $1.4 billion, in 2007 to 29 percent, $3.7 billion, by 2012, growing at a CAGR of 22 percent. UV growth is generating at the expense of both aqueous and solvent printers.
Revenue Comparison by Print Segment and Installed BaseIn terms of total revenues per sector, the low-level solvent sector replaced aqueous as the top revenue generating sector. Smaller print shops continue to buy these printers for both indoor and outdoor applications. Today the market is increasingly competitive in new product categories�especially those considered green.
Aqueous Inkjet PrintersRevenues for hardware, media, and ink for wide format aqueous inkjet printers will remain flat at about $3.8 billion from 2007 to 2012. In 2007, the largest aqueous sector was professional aqueous printers greater than 36 inches. In 2007 it made up about 70 percent of all aqueous revenues, but in this sector revenue is expected to decline from $2.7 billion in 2007 to $2.3 billion in 2012, a CAGR of negative two percent due to continued competition from low-end solvent and UV printers. Revenues in the in-house sector are expected to grow from $927 million in 2007 to $1.2 billion in 2012, a CAGR of six percent as advertising agencies, universities, and hospitals purchase wide format inkjet printers to internally create presentations and signage.
The total installed base of wide format aqueous inkjet printers is forecast to grow from 261,187 printers in 2007 to 270,198 printers in 2012, a CAGR of one percent. Professional sectors will decrease from 113,804 in 2007 to 100,610 by 2012. There is the possibility that Hewlett-Packard could extend the economics of its Scalable Print Head technology to the aqueous wide format market, which would result in faster and more affordable printers. While this action could extend the life of the aqueous market, it has not been taken into account in the forecast.
The in-house installed base will grow from 147,382 printers in 2007 to 169,589 by 2012, a CAGR of three percent reflecting continued increased usage among in-house users of wide format inkjet printers. The in-house market is made up of corporations, schools, and hospitals that buy wide format inkjet printers for internal use and do not sell the output.
Solvent Inkjet PrintersIn total, solvent printers generated hardware, media, and ink revenues of $4.6 billion in 2007 growing to $5.3 billion by 2012, a CAGR of three percent. Throughout the forecast period the largest share of revenue continues to come from low-level�also called eco-solvent�solvent printers, which will grow from 61 percent of solvent revenues�$2.8 billion, in 2007 to 64 percent, $3.4 billion, by 2012, a CAGR of four percent. Eco-solvent printers are still on the steep end of the market development curve and are expected to equal the size of the aqueous market in two to three years. Although eco-solvent printers can cost up to three times more than aqueous printers, the output can be used both indoors and outdoors, making them a smart investment for smaller shops that want to enter the market with a broad range of products to offer.
The Western OEMs Aggressive Solvent segment is forecast to decline from $1 billion in 2007 to $761 million in 2012, a CAGR of negative six percent, a sign of a long-term trend that this sector has passed its development peak. This is to some extent a vendor-driven trend since it is the same manufacturers that supply the aggressive solvent and the UV products. This decline in revenues reflects the continued increasing competition from UV flatbed and roll-to-roll printers as well as more of a focus by print shops on greener UV technology.
The installed base of wide format solvent printers is forecast to grow from 102,533 printers in 2007 to 158,214 printers by 2012, a CAGR of 11 percent. Western manufacturers make up about 75 percent of the installed base in 2007 and are expected to maintain that share through 2012. Not surprisingly, low-level solvent printers make up the largest segment of the solvent installed base growing from 73 percent�74,622 printers�in 2007 to 76 percent�120,502 printers�in 2012, a CAGR of ten percent.
Of special interest this year is Epson�s entry into the eco-solvent market with the introduction of its own Epson Stylus Pro GS6000. Previously, Epson was the inkjet printhead supplier to three major market participants�Mimaki, Mutoh, and Roland.
UV Inkjet Printers In total, UV inkjet printers generated hardware, media, and ink revenues of $1.4 billion in 2007 growing to $3.6 billion by 2012, a CAGR of 22 percent. This is the newest segment of the wide format graphics market and has the highest growth rates and perhaps the potential to break into traditional screenprint volumes. Additionally, UV printers�with the ability to print on a wide variety of both rigid and flexible substrates�allow print shops to develop new applications.
Over the forecast period, revenues from flatbed UV printers will grow from $1.1 billion in 2007 to $2.5 billion by 2012. In total, revenues from roll-to-roll UV inkjet printers will grow from $259 million in 2007 to $1.2 billion by 2012. The majority of these revenues come from high-end roll-to-roll UV inkjet printers which are expected to grow from $247 million in 2007 to $1.2 billion in 2012, a CAGR of 36 percent.
The installed base of UV inkjet printers is forecast to grow from 6,616 printers in 2007 to 18,778 printers by 2012, a CAGR of 23 percent. Throughout the forecast period, flatbed inkjet UV printers are expected to grow from about 5,000 printers in 2007 to 15,500 by 2012. Low-end flatbed UV inkjet printers continue to be the largest segment of the UV inkjet printer installed base, growing from about 4,000 printers in 2007 to about 9,000 by 2012, a CAGR of 18 percent. Low-end UV printers are forecast to grow from about 400 printers in 2007 to more than 2,600 by 2012. The growth in UV inkjet printers�both flatbed and roll-to-roll�open up high-volume digital and screen markets to UV solutions at the expense of solvent inkjet and screenprinting.
Hardware Revenue & Installed BaseHardware revenues from wide format inkjet printers are expected to increase from $2 billion in 2007 to $2.6 billion in 2012, a CAGR of five percent. Over the forecast period, the strongest growth area for hardware revenues is UV printers, which are expected to grow from revenues of almost $580 million in 2007 to just over $1 billion by 2012, a CAGR of 17 percent, this is a reflection of the productivity gains they offer. The declining wide format aqueous printer revenues reflect the continually decreasing price of these types of wide format inkjet printers.
The worldwide installed base of wide format inkjet printers is forecast to grow from a total of 370,336 printers in 2007 to 447,190 printers by 2012, a CAGR of four percent. In 2007, the installed base of aqueous printers was 261,187 or 71 percent of the total installed base of wide format inkjet printers. The percentage share of aqueous printers is expected to decrease to 60 percent by 2012. The installed base of solvent inkjet printers is expected to increase from 102,533 printers in 2007 to 158,214 by 2012, a CAGR of nine percent, driven by sales of low-level solvent printers. The installed base of UV printers will grow from 6,616 in 2007 to 18,778 by 2012, a CAGR of 23 percent. Even though UV printers are a relatively small part of the installed base, they make up an increasing share of hardware revenues because of the units� high price.
Media Revenue and Square FeetWorldwide total media revenues from wide format inkjet printers were $4 billion in 2007 and are forecast to grow to $5.6 billion in 2012, a CAGR of seven percent. Overall media revenues are driven by the continued migration towards more expensive, specialty media such as vinyl, fabric, canvas, and rigid substrates used in flatbed UV inkjet printers. UV inkjet printers experience the largest media revenue growth with revenues growing from $575 million in 2007 to more than $2 billion by 2012, a CAGR of 19 percent.
In terms of square feet, the total wide format graphics market produced 16.7 billion square feet of output in 2007 and this is forecast to grow to 25.5 billion square feet by 2012, a CAGR of nine percent. Solvent printers in 2007 generated 12 billion square feet�more than 70 percent of the total output�in 2007 and are expected to grow to more than 17 billion by 2012�an increase in total square feet, but a decrease to 69 percent of total market square feet. UV inkjet printers are expected to grow from just over one billion square feet, seven percent of total output, to 4.3 billion square feet in 2012, 17 percent of total output.
Ink Revenue and LitersIn 2007, total wide format graphics inkjet ink revenues were $3.8 billion and are forecast to grow to $4.5 billion by 2012, a CAGR of three percent. Aqueous printers continue to have the largest share of the ink revenue�in 2007, aqueous inkjet ink revenue was about half the total market at $1.8 billion. Although aqueous inkjet revenues will rise to about $1.9 billion by 2012, as a percent of total market revenues they will have dropped to 45 percent, overtaken by eco-solvent inkjet ink and a shift to UV output. UV inkjet inks will grow from $208 million in 2007 to $500 million by 2012, a CAGR of 19 percent. The decreasing overall percentage of aqueous inks reflects the market shift away from these costly inks to more affordable solvent and UV-curable inks.
In 2007, wide format inkjet printers consumed 30.7 million liters of ink. This will increase to 51.6 million liters by 2012, an 11 percent CAGR. During the forecast period, solvent printers will consume the most ink, increasing from 23 to 41 million liters, an increase from about 77 to approximately 80 percent of total ink liters.

Getting more bang for your buck
Good news:
If you don't use your coupons before they expire, they're still worth the money you paid for them for an extra three months.
GrabOne FaceValue gives you another three months after your coupons expire, making it even easier to enjoy businesses all over New Zealand.
How does it work?
- A coupon is valid up until and including the expiry date printed on the coupon.
- If you don't use it before the expiry date for whatever reason, the coupon retains the value you paid for it for an additional three months.
- This means you can turn up to the business up to three months after the coupon has expired and put the money you spent to buy that coupon towards the service or experience printed on your coupon.
For example, if you spend $50 on a $100 dining voucher but don't use it before the expiry date, you will still be entitled to $50 worth of food and beverage services at that business for an additional three months.
The same goes for coupons without monetary values assigned to them. For example, if you buy a bungy jump deal but don't use it before the expiry date, you can still put the money you spent on the coupon towards a bungy jump, for another three months. Remember, the FaceValue of your coupon can only be put toward the service or experience printed on your coupon.
A few things to note:
- FaceValue applies to all deals that display the FaceValue icon. If the icon is not on a deal, FaceValue does not apply.
- It's always best to use your coupon before the expiry date, so you get the most value for your money. And if you're a bit forgetful, we now automatically remind you if your coupons are about to expire.
- During the FaceValue period, your coupon can only be put towards the service stated on the coupon.
- If the offer is seasonal, like a seasonal menu or chimney sweep service, the FaceValue of your coupon can be put towards a similar offer at the merchant's discretion.
- FaceValue does not apply to product deals, travel and accommodation-related deals, or time-dependent event deals.
- The conditions on your coupon still apply during the FaceValue grace period.

NeoLev Desktop Hovering Board
Hoverboards have to start somewhere.
- The pyrolytic graphite board hovers over the rare earth magnet base.
- The board oscillates back and forth, too!
- Limited edition with Tron-esque details, just for you.
Hoverboards have to start somewhere.
"Back to the Future" promised us many things: Mr. Fusion, being someone's density, and hoverboards. More than anything else, hoverboards have been the thing that we've longed for more than anything (well, maybe a close second to a time-travelling DeLorean). Well, we haven't perfected human-sized hoverboards just yet, but to keep the dream alive, we have found this limited edition NeoLev Desktop Hovering Board.
Each NeoLev Desktop Hovering Board comes with a base which contains 5 high grade rare earth magnets. These make the "track" which the hovering board (made of pyrolytic graphite, with a wicked Tron-esque decal) floats over. In fact, because the "track" has a slight bend to it, you can actually give the board a push and watch it slide back and forth and back and forth. Not only is the NeoLev Desktop Hovering Board a great desk toy, but it's also an instant science fair experiment (you just add the explanations and poster board and all that). These are limited edition, so get 'em quick before they head (wait for it . . . ) back to the future.
Product Specifications
- For Ages 8 and up.
- A mini hovering board floats with the power of magnets.
- Satisfy your hoverboard craving until we can get a full-sized version working.
- A great desktoy - the board oscillates back and forth in mid air!
- Materials: Fluorescent blue acrylic supports with cool glowing edges, 5 high grade (N48) rare earth magnets, pyrolytic graphite board, futuristic decal, and awesome physics!
- Dimensions:
- Platform: approx. 4" x 1.5" x 1"
- Board: approx. 1.5" x 0.6" x 0.03"

Aco Channel / Linear Drain Cleaning
Channel drains also known as Linear or the brand 'ACO' drainage are commonly found on driveways and paved areas in front of shops and stores on retail parks. Channel drains work in a similar fashion to Road gullies and the silt trap needs to be emptied and the drain lines cleaned on a regular basis. This helps to prevent collected deposits overflowing into the surface/storm water system. We use our high pressure washing equipment to flush through the drain channel and in cases where the channels haven't been previously maintained we remove all protective covers and physically scoop out the channels using our specialist tools.
Due to the location of aco drains being mainly in public places we generaly carry out our cleaning work out of hours to reduce distruption to buisness and the public

How to Make Home-made Dosas – Indian Rice and Lentil Pancakes
Dosas are like tortillas with an education
For this week's recipe shed challenge – that's recipes with rice, pulses and/or pasta – I've chosen a family favourite: dosas!
I've been planning to publish this dosa recipe for some time now. Dosas are simply amazing with their crispy exterior and soft centre. To my knowledge, there's nothing like them in western cookery but I bet you'll be planning your next dosa meal after you take your first bite!
Dosas can be served plain or stuffed with the filling of your choice. They also go quite nicely with Indian raitas and chutneys.
Here I have decided to stuff them with my masala mash potatoes which is the most common dosa stuffing in India.
The great thing about dosas is that they are really good for you. The batter is made from basmati rice and white urad dhal lentils which can be purchased in Indian shops.
You do need to plan a day ahead to make these Indian crepe-like delights but I promise you'll be very glad you did.
Before we get started, let me stress one thing… get yourself a non-stick pan if you don't have one.
Dosas like to stick to pans!
Serves 8 to 10
600g Basmati rice
150g urad dhal lentils
1 Tablespoon fenugreek seeds
2 Tablespoons dried fenugreek leaves
A pinch of salt and pepper
1 onion cut in half
Vegetable oil for cooking
Place the rice in a large bowl and soak in plenty of water overnight.
In a separate bowl, soak the dhal and fenugreek seeds together in water overnight.
In the morning, drain the rice and put it in a blender with 125ml of water and begin to blend.
While blending, add another 125ml of water until it turns to a smooth paste. This will take 3 to 4 minutes. You may need to give your blender a rest during this time.
Pour the rice paste into a bowl and then add the lentils to the blender.
Now I know what you're thinking… 'Why not just blend everything at the same time?'
Believe me, you don't want to go there!
OK, so you've added the lentils and fenugreek seeds to the blender.
Turn on the blender and begin adding water a little bit at a time until it begins to blend and turn into a smooth paste. This will take 5 to 7 minutes and you will need give your blender a rest as it will begin to smoke. Don't panic! Just let the blender have a break.
When you have a smooth lentil paste, add it to the rice paste and throw in your fenugreek leaves and a pinch of salt and pepper. Mix well to combine.
Now cover the bowl with a wet cloth and set it in a warm place for 12 hours to ferment and take on take on its delicious flavour.
The batter will begin to bubble and expand a bit and will smell quite nice.
To cook
Place a non-stick shallow frying pan over high heat and get the pan very hot.
Add about a tablespoon of oil to the pan and spread it around with the halved onion. The starch in the onions helps ensure the dosas don't stick and it also adds nicely to the flavour.
Take a ladle or tea cup full of you batter and swirl it around the edge of the pan and then quickly spread the batter to cover the bottom of the pan as if it were a crepe.
All you need to do now is wait a few minutes.
If you are serving your dosas plain, you will want to flip the dosa after about two minutes and cook for another two minutes on the opposite side.
If you are filling your dosas, cook on one side for about two minutes and then add the stuffing.
The top of the dosa will still be under-cooked but that's okay.
Spread your filling over the surface and cook for another minute and then fold over as shown in the picture.
As mentioned above, I have filled these dosas with my vegetarian masala potatoes. They are also good filled with cheese, lamb rogan josh, chicken tikka masala, last night's spaghetti, eggs…
I think you get the idea.
Enjoy and please pop back by and let me know if you are as crazy about dosas as my family and I am!

Love the video! I will defo be making these soon! prob no more homemade Naan breads for a while!
What a masterclass! You are the main man, Dan. I've bookmarked this. Never cooked dosas before, but they are on my Must Do list.
(love the contempt in your photographer's voice when she says, 'Two minutes!)
Next week's Shed is being hosted by TheBoyAndMe (coz I'm going up north to visit my dad). her theme: PRESERVES AND CHUTNEYS.
Get that mango chutney recipe off the shelf!
great video…and great recipe, it looks delicious. I really would like to try this but it does sound like a lot of work….but I'm sure it's worth it though.
great video, will try again you recipe is much clearer. I even bought the special pan what i am aiming for are the fairly crispy dosa served almost in a cone shape (london restauarant style)
Nice one Dan as always (will have to wait for diet break!). I like the glass of red wine in the background that has nothing to do with the cooking (but is oh so essential!).
When I am feeling energetic and adventurous, I am going to have to try this, it looks delicious
Thanks for sharing this recipe. Your dosas look so delicious. I hope to try the recipe soon as I have never made dosas – not even from the ready made packs. My kids love them and always order them when we eat in an Indian restaurant.
Oh I am loving the idea of working with fenugreek, AND making homemade dosas!!!! They look really delicious:-) Take care, Terra
These look fab, must try x
What a wonderful recipe. I remember good vegetable dhosa at a little Indian vegetarian restaurant off Tottenham Court Rd.That was over 15 years ago, and I now live in an Indian food free environment.That is about my only regret:)
Hi Dan,
I am a recent visitor to your site and your measurements are perfect, But if we want it more simple we can say the urad dal and rice measurement as 1:3(1 urad and 3 rice), and the important tip is, if you are living in freezing cold / cold environments don't add salt immediately after grinding the batter. Let it ferment overnight first and then in the morning add salt, a pinch of bi-carb soda, 1 tbsp. cumin seeds and refrigerate the batter. Trust me, I am from India and living in Australia now and you will get perfect dosas.

Athlete of the Week: Matt Ambrosino
Date: July 15, 2009
by: Jen Blanco | Associate Editor
Nearly every player on Manatee East Little League's 10- and 11-year-old All-Star team can pitch, but perhaps none is more versatile on the mound than 11-year-old Matt Ambrosino.
But it's not his experience and consistency on the mound that cause other teams to take notice.
Rather, it's his ability to throw both right-handed and left-handed that has left opposing dugouts speechless — and this week proved to be no different.
On July 10, in just his second start of the Manatee County District 26 Little League All-Star Tournament, the ambidextrous pitcher threw a complete game, striking out 10 batters as Manatee East defeated Braden River 6-0.
"I had one more out left to get that (perfect game), but it was (still) amazing," Ambrosino said.
It was undoubtedly Ambrosino's best performance on the mound, but it might not have turned out the same way had it not been for the natural left-hander's decision to switch arms after the third inning.
With his left shoulder tightening up, Ambrosino threw the rest of the game with his right arm — much to the surprise of Braden River.
"It's funny how the other team's dugout thinks it's a new pitcher, but really it's just a switch," Ambrosino said.
Ambrosino began playing baseball when he was 5 years old, following in the footsteps of his older brother Joey, now 13, as the two played together on the same T-ball team. Ambrosino continued to work his way up through Manatee East's system, playing on his first all-star team last year.
This year, the second-year all-star, who can play just about any position, has become one of the undisputed leaders of the team.
"He's a rare breed," Manatee East coach Doug Myers said. "He's a quite leader. He's not a loud kid, but he leads by example. He's steady, and he'll play any position on the field without complaining."

With just a few weeks left until voters decide on Question A – shall we organize a new Transportation Development District that would fund streetcar and MAX expansion? — organizations have been lining up to support the effort.
Both the Kansas City Star and the Kansas City Business Journal endorsed Question A on their editorial pages. Both have previously endorsed official light rail and bus plans.
Mayor Sly James and the City Council, Downtown Neighborhood Association, Ivanhoe Neighborhood Council, Center City Neighborhood Association, South Plaza Neighborhood Association, Northeast Alliance Together (NEAT), Downtown Council, Pendleton Heights Neighborhood Association, Columbus Park Community Council, and the Kansas City Regional Transit Alliance have all passed resolutions of support.
The above list contains neighborhood associations from each of the streetcar and MAX expansion corridors. City Council continues to vote unanimously on funding and policies related to streetcar.
Heavy Constructors, BNIM, Burns & McDonnell, Herzog Contracting Corp., HNTB, UMB Bank, Stacy & Witbeck, and Kansas City University of Medicine and Biosciences have all contributed to the Question A campaign.
The Heavy Constructors previously fought larger light rail plans, so their financial support for both streetcar districts is noteworthy. KCUMB's main campus is on the Independence Avenue line.
State of Missouri
An approved Amendment 7 project list for the KC region includes $144 million in matching funds for Question A. In return, the sales tax within the TDD would be lowered so that no one pays more than an additional penny if both initiatives pass on August 5. This is the first time the State of Missouri has provided direct capital funding for any transit project. MARC and Mayor Sly James deserve recognition for keeping the region's project list focused on transit (something MoDOT and Amendment 7′s sponsors did not want).
Election Day
Polls open at 6 a.m. on Tuesday, August 5, and close at 7 p.m. Question A will be at the bottom of the ballot and will only appear if you are registered to vote inside the TDD boundary.
Meanwhile, Phase 1 construction continues with track installation resuming this month and a new Executive Director on board for the Kansas City Streetcar Authority, which is in charge of operating the system.
Downtown voters have a very good reason to approve the expansion TDD as they'll get 8 miles of streetcar for the price of 2, since their assessments and sales tax rate won't change.]]>
Circuit Court Judge Marco Roldan ruled last week that the proposed Transportation Development District to fund three streetcar expansions (Main Street, Independence Avenue, and Linwood Boulevard) and one MAX expansion (Prospect Avenue) is legal and placed it immediately on the August 2014 ballot. [Map of TDD boundary]
Kansas City and the Port Authority filed the TDD petition in January, based on recommendations from the feasibility study.
If voters inside the TDD approve its formation on Aug. 5, a subsequent election will occur on Nov. 4 to approve the sales tax and special assessments. It's important to note:
Streetcars — and fixed rail, in general — increase the value of adjacent real estate, which is the legal basis for the special assessment (not whether or not you will use it). The city's legal team provided evidence of this during the TDD proceedings, and Judge Roldan concurred in his ruling.
The argument for the sales tax is the same as any citywide election. Does the presence of streetcar — and the resulting increase in transit ridership and economic development — benefit the city as a whole? The answer is yes.
In short, the argument over the benefits of streetcars is over. The question for KC voters now is: Where to expand?
Starter line update
The City issued a Notice to Proceed for full starter line construction on May 15. An official groundbreaking is scheduled for 10 a.m. May 22 at south of Truman Road on Main Street. Water and sewer work will begin first — overseen by KC Streetcar Constructors — then follow with track construction.
On April 25, the Kansas City Streetcar Authority announced their recommendation to hire Herzog Transit Services, Inc., of St. Joseph, to operate and maintain the starter line — pending city approval and contract negotiations. Selection of the operator reflects the final partner required to be in place to start operating in 2015.]]>
The Phase 2 streetcar consultant team published their draft final recommendations today. Key points to remember:
Meanwhile, Phase 1 official construction should start any day with a big rail shipment due to arrive in April. See kcstreetcar.org for the latest information.]]>
1. First streetcar weld, first track installed. Even jaded advocates beamed with pride during the November 14 press event showcasing Kansas City's first new streetcar rails since 1947 (service ended in 1957). Prior to the event, the first weld and installation of track was completed ahead of schedule thanks to excess materials from a Dallas streetcar project.
2. Dismissed, dismissed, and denied. Two downtown property owners — whose combined annual assessments will be about $1,500 — sued the transportation development district set up to fund downtown streetcar construction and operations. A Circuit Court judge dismissed the suit in March, then the Missouri Court of Appeals upheld that ruling in August, then the Missouri Supreme Court declined to hear the case on Christmas Eve. A long-delayed bond sale can now proceed.
3. Phase 2 streetcar advances. Expansion was always in the cards for the initial 2-mile streetcar segment, and the City Council kept its promise by advancing three south-of-the-river corridors for additional study — Main Street Plus (south to Waldo and beyond), 31st/Linwood, and Independence Avenue. Wisely, all three are solid transit corridors today and streetcar corridors of the past. Expansion north of the river is still in planning stages.
4. Transit Emphasis Corridors. It hasn't been widely reported, but refocusing all bus routes that terminate downtown on just two streets — 12th Street and Grand Boulevard — would result in the highest level of transit service in the entire region (1-2 minute peak headways). Changes could come on Grand as early next year (along with federally-funded bike lanes), while 12th Street will be implemented in tandem with Prospect MAX.
5. Wyandotte County's 2014 Budget. In addition to seeing completion of TIGER-funded transit centers and improved State Avenue bus stops, Wyandotte County's Board of Commissioners approved a 2014 budget that contained two hard-fought rewards: larger buses to relieve overcrowding and a brand new route serving Rosedale and Argentine. Props to the Rosedale Development Association and Transit Action Network for their advocacy work.
6. Prospect MAX advances. The next corridor to get MAX treatment is #71-Prospect, currently the second-highest ridership route in the metro. Genius trumped organizational boundaries as the project was grouped with the Phase 2 streetcar expansions to make the first attempted at package funding in FTA history. The project was originally studied as part of the Jackson County Commuter Corridors.
7. CNG buses. KCATA stepped up their transition from dirty diesel to cleaner Compressed Natural Gas buses. The new vehicles entered service in July.
8. Transit Coordinating Council. This newly-formed replacement for MARC's Transit Committee hasn't made a big splash with the public, but wonks are all abuzz about much-needed policy shifts that will finally put our region's resources where our mouths have collectively pretended to be. On tap in 2014: regional fare structure, regional branding, and more focused regional projects.
9. Commuter rail hopes fade. Indifferent railroad executives, a competing ballot initiative from the state (see #13), and a distracting loss on the translational medicine sales tax added up to a sour year for Mike Sanders' regional rail proposal. The words are still there, but Jackson County leadership is losing patience for action.
10. Missouri's multimodal transportation plan. In the last legislative session a bill to put a 1-cent transportation tax in front of voters suffered a last-minute defeat at the hands of a few Tea Party extremists. It would have been the first plan to include "multimodal", and it reflected new priorities of MoDOT's "listening tour" that proved Missouri residents aren't just focused on highways (Missouri is at the bottom of the state transit funding list). The proposal has resurfaced as a petition initiative. If it succeeds, it might compete directly with Jackson County and Kansas City transit plans on the same ballot.
11. Streetcar wins $20 million TIGER grant. After being initially rebuffed due to lack of a local funding source, the Department of Transportation finally came through with additional funding for the downtown streetcar. This grant is in addition to the two other federal grants the project won in 2012.
12. Dedication of streetcar maintenance facility. The new streetcar maintenance facility in Columbus Park was dedicated to longtime transit advocate Kite Singleton on November 7. In an appropriate follow-up, a Columbus Park development project Kite worked on for years found financing specifically due to its proximity to the streetcar line.
13. Daily airport service. People aren't using it much, but the psychological barrier has been broken: You can now get to KCI seven days a week by a single-seat bus ride from downtown. Service runs from 10th & Main between 6 a.m. and 11 p.m.
For reference, here's 2012′s top 12 transit stories.]]>
The first segment of streetcar track was installed on Nov. 14 on the new Main Street bridge over I-670, months ahead of schedule. It was the first since a small extension of the original streetcar on Troost Avenue was completed in 1947.
Rebuilding the Main Street bridge over I-670 wasn't originally supposed to include track installation. Temporarily fill material was planned until full track installation in 2014. That changed when the newly-hired Construction Manager team offered to coordinate installation of excess steel rail from Dallas' Oak Cliff Streetcar project. It was a bonus that likely wouldn't have come together had it been in the original plan.
The rail and welding team arrived by truck a few days prior. By Nov. 12, the team had started welding 40-foot segments together to create four continuous rails that would make up the two standard gauge tracks that cross the bridge. Concrete was poured around the new track on Nov. 15. The bridge will reopen to cars and pedestrians by December and will include noise abatement, public art, wider sidewalks, and more clearance for vehicles on the freeway below.
In other Phase 1 news, City Council approved the Construction Manager contract, the purchase of four streetcar vehicles, full funding of the project, and dedicated the vehicle maintenance facility to longtime transit advocate Kite Singleton. The Construction Manager also opened a project office at 1828 Walnut, new developments have been announced along the line, and private utilities began relocating away from the tracks.
Phase 2 election
A 2014 election for Phase 2 streetcar has been proposed, and City Council heard consultant recommendations for scope. Kansas City's streetcar system could be as large as 10 miles by 2020, triggering a major renewal of the urban core. The top scoring corridors are:
Phase 2 costs are in 2019 dollars and generally work out to about $60 million per mile. While the Country Club Right of Way (shown above, near Waldo shops) didn't score well, it's relatively low cost of implementation ($35 million per mile), dedicated right of way, and strong neighborhood support could make it an obvious extension further south from UMKC; a southern terminus for that added scope hasn't been determined, but could be as far as Waldo through the use of single-tracking. The full consultant report is available here.
Consultants recommended a new Transportation Development District levying the same taxes and assessments as the downtown TDD. The new TDD would stretch from the Missouri River south to 63rd (or whatever the southern terminus might be) and State Line east to I-435. The 1% sales tax would apply to the entire district, while the assessments would apply only to properties a reasonable distance from the actual streetcar lines.
As with the downtown TDD, one election would form the district and a second would approve the levies. Due to the larger voting pool, a traditional election would be held, which removes the unpopular application and notary requirements specified in the TDD Act. If both new elections are successful, the downtown TDD could be dissolved with a simple vote of its board as it has no financial obligations.
Phase 2 expansion north of the river is on a different timeline — first public meeting on Nov. 21 — and may take advantage of an existing citywide TDD passed with broad support in 2008.]]>
Phase 1 of the Kansas City Streetcar just snagged another $20 million in federal funds, this time from the TIGER program. The announcement was leaked to the media yesterday afternoon by Sen. Claire McCaskill's office. A formal list of winning projects is due from the Department of Transportation next week. $20 million is the full amount requested by the city.
This new funding will augment existing revenue sources: the transportation development district, other local funds (PIAC/TIF), and two previously-awarded federal grants. It's likely that the city will not issue as much debt as a result, allowing an earlier opportunity to reduce the TDD's special assessments.
The funds need to be obligated by Sept. 30, 2014, which means the City Council will need to approve the stalled Construction Manager contract as soon as possible to avoid losing out on the money. First public debate is anticipated on Sept. 5. A vehicle announcement has not been made, but is expected shortly.
Other winning projects were a freeway removal project in Rochester, NY; transit capital improvements in Austin; a freight/passenger rail underpass in Springfield, IL; and HOV/light rail lanes in Seattle. US DOT will announce the full list of winners soon.
TIGER is popular with cities because they can apply directly, rather than going through their state DOTs (who often have only highway expansion on the brain). The program has been generous with streetcars in previous rounds, having funded projects in Cincinnati, Dallas, New Orleans, Ft. Lauderdale, Tucson, Detroit, and Atlanta. Providence, Rhode Island, was also an applicant in this round.
The Kansas City area also won a TIGER grant in 2010 that funded the Green Impact Zone and improvements to several bus corridors (Metcalf, State Avenue, North Oak). $5 million in study funding was requested in that application, but was removed from the $50 million winning grant by the US DOT. A $25 million TIGER grant application for the streetcar was rejected in 2012 by the feds for not having local funding in place at the time.
Phase 2 south of the river kicked off with a public meeting on Aug. 8 at Union Station. Phase 2 north of the river should kick off in September.]]>
Summer is here and the Phase 1 streetcar project will begin construction soon. Here's what to expect for the remainder of 2013:
1. Vehicles. The city is in the final stages of selecting one of two modern streetcar vehicles — the CAF Urbos 3 (above) and the Siemens S70 Streetcar. Both are available through option purchases with other cities currently building streetcar lines (Cincinnati and Salt Lake City, respectively). Completed vehicles could arrive for testing in as little as 18 months.
2. Utility relocation. Public and private utilities will relocate entire lines, or just their access points, away from the streetcar tracks and new overhead wire. The final design for the track location is expected soon. Utility work will likely generate the longest disruption along the route since a few spots — mostly in the River Market and Crossroads — haven't been fully unearthed in a century. The sequence of work will be determined by the Construction Manager (a contract to be awarded in July) in collaboration with the utilities. Contractors are required to maintain access to businesses throughout this phase.
3. Main Street bridge over I-670. While not required for, or funded by, the streetcar project the city has chosen to replace the functionally obsolete Main Street bridge over I-670 before the streetcar tracks are installed. In addition to a new design, the bridge will be raised to meet the Federal Highway Administration's required height clearances. It will be completely closed for about six weeks during construction.
4. Maintenance Facility. Once the final Columbus Park site has been selected and purchased, the city will finalize the facility design and break ground. Often referred to as the VMF, this is where Kansas City's four modern streetcars will be stored and maintained. As with all new city structures, the maintenance facility will be certified LEED Gold or above.
The city has also applied for a $20 million federal grant. Competition is again fierce, but with local funding now secured the project is in a better spot than last year. Bonds to finance the remaining construction activities will be sold once the legal challenge to the funding district is settled (oral arguments will be heard July 16).
Phase 2 is also advancing rapidly. Seven corridors will be studied south of the river starting this month, and an extension north across the Missouri River will be jointly studied by MARC, Kansas City, and North Kansas City starting in July.

2012 was absolutely a banner year for transit news in Kansas City. Here are the stories that captured the most attention:
1. Downtown streetcar fully funded. Two elections — one to form the special streetcar district, then a follow-up to actually fund the project — passed with strong majorities. Federal funding, initially expected in the form of a $25 million TIGER IV grant, instead came from two locally-programmed federal sources. Toss in a few cost-cutting measures and you have Kansas City's first fully-funded rail transit project. Construction starts in 2013, with Phase 2 extensions already being discussed.
2. Bike share launch. Twelve stations, 90 bikes… modest, yes, but beating New York, LA, Chicago, and even Portland to the punch. One might question launching in the middle of a heat wave with little infrastructure to encourage cycling, but new non-profit Kansas City B-Cycle could not be deterred. One of the quickest and highest visibility projects to hit downtown in years, just in time for an Bronze designation as a Bike Friendly Community. Phase 2 expansion to Midtown and the Plaza starts in 2013.
3. Jackson County draft transit plans released. Self-propelled diesel vehicles running along I-70 to Oak Grove using existing tracks, with a second phase running along the Rock Island right-of-way to Lee's Summit — the dream of County Executive Mike Sanders finally realized after years of talking to anyone who'd listen. Both corridors wrapped up most of their Alternatives Analysis work in 2012. A countywide sales tax vote on a comprehensive transit plan — that includes the two rail lines, more bus service, and a Katy Trail extension into the city — is expected in 2013.
4. KCATA service changes. Major changes to 54 bus routes, the first significant makeover of KCATA's network in decades, were introduced in phases starting in 2012. Noteworthy changes include improved Main and Troost MAX frequency, service to Zona Rosa, and elimination/consolidation of underperforming routes. Improved service to KCI and a reconfiguring of bus travel through downtown are on tap for 2013.
5. Making the streetcar free to ride. The freshly-formed Kansas City Streetcar Authority voted in September to eliminate fares, at least initially, on the downtown streetcar. Initial ridership estimates assumed most riders would pay, so this change all but assures the line's success. Turns out it costs money to collect money…
6. Transit education campaign. Commercials and billboards began educating Jackson County residents about the benefits of public transit over the summer. Funded collectively by the cities within Jackson County and administered by the Regional Transit Alliance, the goal is to help residents see how "transit works for us," even if they don't plan on using it.
7. Keeping Clay Chastain off the ballot. Chastain has again garnered enough signatures to get on the ballot with an even larger transit plan and the city has rightfully stood up and refused to put it on the ballot… so, of course, he sued, lost, and has appealed. That appellate court ruling is due in the coming weeks.
8. Transit ridership up across the metro. Boosted by a new student pass program (first UMKC, now Rockhurst) and an improving economy, ridership increased over 2011 on KCATA (5.50%) and The JO (8%) even as budgets were tightened and fewer services were offered.
9. The JO service cuts. Expiring/reduced federal funding, reduced state funding, and lack of political will all contributed to another year of service reductions and route eliminations for Johnson County Transit. While pro-transit County Commissioner Steve Klika did win in November, prospects aren't good for The JO sticking around in its current form beyond 2014. Cuts takes effect in January.
10. October bus driver attacks. Two separate incidents, one of which went viral, were a reminder that bus drivers should be respected and not physically assaulted. Suspects in both crimes have been apprehended thanks to a quick public response.
11. TIGER I grant improvements. $10 million each for North Oak, Metcalf, and State Avenue, awarded in 2010. Service was improved on North Oak as part of KCATA's recent changes, but challenges are ahead for Unified Government (State) and Johnson County (Metcalf) to uncover enough funding (and place-making) to make their services attractive to more than just the transit dependent. Ever stood around at 110th & Metcalf?
12. Independence breaks off from KCATA. While getting a lower price from vendor First Transit (who also operates The JO, which also split from KCATA in the 90s), the City of Independence has had a few startup issues with their local services. Hopefully 2013 will see improved interoperability with KCATA's remaining Independence routes.]]>
December 11 was the final deadline — 550 ballots were counted and certified the following day (video | news). With this win, the downtown streetcar is now fully funded (in addition to previously approved federal funding).
This time money was on the line and nearly half (337) of the second election's voters did not participate in the first election. Supporters gathered at Nara in the Crossroads to celebrate victory with Mayor Sly James and Councilmen Russ Johnson and Jim Glover. Full results were:
Question 1 (1% TDD sales tax):
351 yes
198 no
64% passed
Question 2 (special assessments on TDD property):
344 yes
206 no
63% passed
In the first election, 460 ballots were counted:
Question 1 (formation of the TDD):
319 yes
141 no
69% passed
The City Council immediately began advancing the project again, putting two ordinances on the docket that authorized the Final Design contract with HDR, Inc. and authorize bonds to finance construction. HDR completed the Alternatives Analysis and Advanced Conceptual Engineering phases; they are also currently involved in streetcar projects in Dallas, Tucson, and D.C.
The TDD Board will meet on Dec. 17 to approve the sales tax and assessments, a formality that is expected to occur without delay.
Ground breaking is planned for Spring 2013 with utility work and construction starting in Summer 2013. Operations are still on schedule to begin in 2015.
Councilman Glover said he was committed to expanding the streetcar "throughout the 4th District", which includes extensions south to UMKC, west to the Bottoms, and east along Independence Avenue.]]>

When I saw all the Christmas very special episodes on Hulu, I got pretty excited. Alf, Degrassi High, 21 Jump Street; so much Christmas! I decided to focus my Christmas nostalgia on some cartoons we all remember fondly. Turns out, Christmas cartoons are serious downers. But maybe some of you would like a little serious with your toons, so read on to see what I queued this week.
Twins He-Man and She-Ra are celebrating their birthday, right around the time us earthlings celebrate Christmas. Orko, the floating ghost/goblin/alien in a trench coat and floppy hat, accidentally makes a rocket take off to Earth where some kids teach him about the meaning of Christmas and, of course, presents. Orko is beamed back up to the planet Eternia with these two kids, Miguel and Alisha. The kids carry some hardcore Christmas spirit that could affect super villain Horde Prime's rise to power so Skeletor and Hordak are summoned to retrieve the kids I guess to sacrifice. The entire 42 minutes features dilemma after dilemma but is solved in 2 minutes so it's not a lot of fun. The only enjoyment I had during the whole special is the part where Skeletor has a heart and also hopes Christmas is full of evil presents. I was unfortunately bored watching this and would only recommend it for the nostalgia factor and not for any quality purposes.
But man, I do still want She-Ra's costume.
On this very special episode of Fat Albert and the Cosby kids, Fat Albert and the gang are putting together a nativity play in their clubhouse. Junkyard owner and major dick Mr. Tyrone doesn't want these kids ruining the property value (I would've maybe gone with the insurance issues) and wants the kids out of the clubhouse tonight. But tonight isn't going to work because a hard-on-luck family's car broke down outside and the woman is about to give birth. So of course this turns into the nativity set inside being a place for this woman to birth her child and Mr. Tyrone, in pure Scrooge fashion, grows a heart and offers to get them a warm home and a job for the unemployed dad. It's not a very funny Christmas special considering I expected laughs from something from Mr. Bill Cosby. In fact, the end was downright depressing where Mr. Tyrone looks up to the sky asking his dead wife if his good deeds on Christmas are a good start. That's some Pixar sad stuff there!
I'd say skip the Fat Albert Christmas Special so you can save yourself the 22 minutes of constantly wanting to submit a cartoon character for The Biggest Loser.
A true classic, this is what I wanted in a Christmas special. Yes it's kind of a downer but it's filled with the fun and whimsy of the Peanuts gang. Poor Charlie Brown is feeling sad and it's not seasonal affective disorder. He feels the holiday is over commercialized and the true spirit of Christmas has been lost behind the presents, lights, and fancy aluminum trees. Charlie Brown even sees his dog Snoopy as a sellout, decorating his doghouse in lights for a contest. Even the Christmas pageant is a bust as they'd rather dance in their awesome Peanuts way to Schroeder's classic theme. And since all the kids are assholes, they get really angry at Charlie Brown for picking the sad, droopy tree from the lot. Charlie Brown won't let the haters ruin his Christmas and soon the kids realize they forgot the true meaning of Christmas once Linus gives him famous bible verse solliquoy. The kids give the sad tree a makeover and hum/sing "Hark the Herald Angels Sing" and then shout "Merry Christmas, Charlie Brown!" All is good. Well until he tries to play football with Lucy again.
I love Peanuts and this TV special is a must-see. I could honestly watch the Peanuts kids dance for 22 minutes with their weird twisty ankles, but the Christmas moral is a nice story.
It airs Thursday, December 15th at 8:00PM on ABC and can be watched on Hulu. The original Christmas special is followed by some new one but I stopped watching after the classic. No need to muck it up perfection with a sub-par special.
