The CIA Almost Made An Osama Bin Laden Action Figure Villain
The CIA toyed with the idea of a bin Laden doll, but ultimately killed the project.

"Let me tell you a little story…"
Esquire came under criticism by military affairs paper Stars and Stripes for wrongly claiming the Navy SEAL who killed bin Laden was denied health care, a claim Esquire vigorously pushed back against. Esquire claims it mentions this in the story, but a cached version of the online article indicates otherwise.
It's one of the most overused and abused creative linchpins in advertising. But occasionally, art directors get it right.

Democrats continued their attack on Mitt Romney today for 2007 remarks saying it was not worth moving "heaven on earth" to kill Osama Bin Laden. Rivals pilled on Romney for the remark and in this 2007 debate Romney addressed the comment, saying "we will move everything to get him," and that his comments were meant to convey the larger scope of the War on Terror.
Romney's 2007 gaffe was fodder but rivals, but also reflected a maximalist view on the War on Terror. "Not worth moving heaven and earth, spending billions of dollars just trying to catch one person."
If Team Obama isn't careful this could easily turn into the '12 version of a noun, a verb and 9/11.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Shortly before his death, Osama bin Laden recorded a message praising the Middle East protest movements and predicting that revolutions would spread across the region.

I have a pack of Wyeast 1099 (Whitbread) that I just bought at LHBS.....was the last one they had and I didn't have time to order online, etc....so I bought it. Problem is it is dated April 10, 2012. Going to use it for a Sweet Stout Saturday, 1.060 OG......1.023 FG My concern is the age....I was planning on a 1 litre starter...... Beersmith says the viability is only 16% for this yeast with the date I enter......which puts it at 16 billion cells....and calculates a starter size required of 2.72 litres..... Sound right to you guys....is that overkill....do you think I could get away with a 2 litre starter? Any advice appreciated... BTW....am I right in my understanding that a 1 litre starter is of course 1 litre of water and 1/2 cup DME???
EVERYONE is entitled to my opinion! Primary #1: Fat Tire Clone Primary #2: Oatmeal Stout Primary #3: Empty Upcoming Brews: English Pale Ale Bottled: Biermuncher Centennail Blonde
All that I can tell you is that I used yeast that I reclaimed from a batch that was about 65 days old, kept in my fridge in a mason jar and it lagged and allowed my beer to sour. 25 gallons down the drain. I now use fresh yeast only. I would go with Beersmith and use 2.7 because I know how much it hurts to dump a beer batch...
I would start that yeast out in 500 mL of starter wort then step it up two or even three times incrementally until you get to the 2L volume (which should be fine). I have a lager going right now with a yeast that expired in Jun 2012 that I started this way and it is going great! It took about a week and a half to get my starter finished though so make sure you allow for that time before your brew day! Also don't be concerned with a long lag time when first pitched (mine took about 48hrs), with yeast that old it will have low viability and will take a while to reproduce enough to show visible signs of activity. Good luck!
So to do that....since I am new to yeast starters......with the exception of the 1 litre starter I did last week...... Tonite: 1 litre water with 1/2 cup dme, boil 15 minutes, cool to 70F, pitch yeast Thursday (24 hours later) Decant starter Add another fresh batch wort (same process as tonite) Friday (24 hours again) Repeat thursday activity... So I end up with a 3 litre starter...... Sound right?
I think this would be a realistic schedule: I would start with 1/2 liter water with 1/4 dma, boil, cool and pitch. Very likely you won't see any activity until this time Friday due to yeast age. Let it ferment out and put it in the fridge (likely Saturday eve) to crash it overnight. If it has all settled out Sunday, decant, boil up a 2 L starter, cool and add it to your slurry. Leave it for a few days or so to ferment out, crash it again in the fridge (likely Wednesday) when its done. Decant (Thursday/Friday) and you are ready to pitch the slurry into your next weekends brew. Cheers!
Crap....I posted that after the latest response.......so a no go for this weekend......
Man this stuff is toast.....pitched it in starter last night and 24 hours later now....no activity at all.....S.O.B.!!!! Wanted to brew Saturday....so now I gotta drive an hour to a REPUTABLE HBS to get (2) packs of fresh yeast! Never going to the LHBS again.....pissed me off.....
I'm currently stepping up a starter of WLP860 with a 4/4/11 date on it. There was no activity for 2.5 days then it took off. I would give it another day or two before you throw in the towel. Some yeast don't have a lot of activity in a starter, so it could be working and you just can't see it.
Yeah I just dont want to risk ruining a batch of beer.... I mean there is absolutely no foam when I swirl it........i.e. I assume to CO2 production...so no activity.
It may be slow to start, but that doesn't mean it's toast. And the only way to gauge starter activity is whether or not there's a band of yeast in the bottom of the vessel. Nothing else. People have used several year old yeast with no problems, that's what starters are for. But they may be slower to get going.
Like my snazzy new avatar? Get Sons of Zymurgy swag, here, and brew with the best.Revvy's one of the cool reverends.

You Are Quite Unnecessary, Young Man!
September 4, 2014 | by Dan Piepenbring
The English translation of Roberto Bolaño's excellent final novella, A Little Lumpen Novelita, is out this month. The book opens with an epigraph by Antonin Artaud, who was born today in 1896: "All writing is garbage. People who come out of nowhere to try to put into words any part of what goes on in their minds are pigs."
Since I read it about a month ago, I've thought of this quotation every day, often as I'm writing—you can imagine the rat-a-tat of my keyboard punctuated with an occasional "All writing is garbage." It's a bracing sentiment, taunting and misanthropic, and a truer one than most of us would care to admit. At the moment, it flies in the face of our glad-handing literary culture, where every book is a good book and every writer in every M.F.A. program partakes of a dignified struggle with Art.
Here's how that quotation, which comes from Artaud's The Nerve Meter (1925), goes on: Read More »
What We're Loving (The Love Edition)
February 14, 2014 | by The Paris Review
"As usual, the love plot is the least convincing aspect of the book," said my friend, handing me a crumbling, loved-to-death copy of Barbara Pym's last novel, A Few Green Leaves. It is not clear to me which part my friend found unconvincing—the growing attraction between the meek, widowed rector Tom and the awkward anthropologist Emma, or the obstacles to their match. (E.g.: Tom's dreary sister, a visit from Emma's old flame Graham, or the Oxfordshire village full of aging gossips who have nothing better to do than monitor the hand-delivery of casseroles to local bachelors.) At any rate, I bought the whole thing, and I believed that Emma did, too. As Pym's narrator observes, "Even the most cynical and sophisticated woman is not, at times, altogether out of sympathy with the ideas of the romantic novelist." —Lorin Stein
The weather yesterday was awful; this incessant wintry-mix business has got to stop. It has me thinking about Russian poems set during the siege of Leningrad, and last night my brain produced one of the most incredible jump shots since 2001: A Space Odyssey—from Boris Pasternak to Guns N' Roses. The former has a poem that begins "February. Get ink and weep! / To write and write of February / like bursting into sobs, with thundering / slush burning in black spring." Naturally, that led to "So never mind the darkness / We still can find a way / 'Cause nothin' lasts forever / Even cold November rain." The latter seems somehow right today—it's a song, after all, about the vagaries of love. In fact, the classic Guns N' Roses catalogue is brimming with Valentine's Day–appropriate songs: charged lyrics for lovers ("Said, woman, take it slow / And it'll work itself out fine / All we need is just a little patience") and the lovelorn ("To think the one you love / could hurt you now / Is a little hard to believe / But everybody darlin' sometimes / Bites the hand that feeds"). —Nicole Rudick
Some advice: Run, do not walk, to your love's home. Take her by the hand and recite this Restoration-era poem about premature ejaculation: "The Imperfect Enjoyment," by John Wilmot, the Earl of Rochester, a legendary libertine who slept his way around the Royal Court and succumbed, at age thirty-three, to venereal disease. Here, in words as lewd and depraved as anything uttered in 2014, he recounts one of his less inspiring performances. Making love, he can't quite contain himself, and "In liquid raptures I dissolve all o'er, / Melt into sperm, and spend at every pore." His lady unsatisfied, he finds himself unable to get it up again, and lambasts his errant penis. "Worst part of me, and henceforth hated most, / Through all the town a common fucking-post." If that doesn't make her swoon, gents, nothing will. —Dan Piepenbring
When Dan asked us to recommend love-themed staff picks, I was all set to talk about one of my favorite films, the 1945 Powell-Pressburger classic I Know Where I'm Going! Then I saw it described by Vanity Fair as "a cult among poetic bluestockings" and my enthusiasm dimmed somewhat. But it deserves whatever following it has—incidentally, Pauline Kael and Martin Scorsese are in the cult, too—and I can't think of a more romantic movie than this tale of a willful young woman stranded in the Scottish Hebrides. (When I describe it like that, I can see why the poetic bluestockings are so excited, but don't let that put you off!) —Sadie Stein Read More »
Sjón, Björk, and the Furry Trout
May 16, 2013 | by David Bukszpan
When Icelanders talk to Americans about Iceland, sooner or later talk is going to turn to fairies, or hidden people, or elves. And while it seems many Icelanders do truly believe in those things, often you'll get a response like the novelist Sjón gave Leonard Lopate the other day: "If you actually lean on an Icelander, most of us will confess to believing that nature has the power to manifest itself in a form understandable to humans. So the hidden people, you know, we would say, 'Well of course I don't believe that there are actually cities inside our mountains, but it's possible that nature has a way of manifesting itself in a human form to, you know, have an interaction with the humans.'"
Similarly, when Americans talk about Iceland, sooner or later (probably sooner) we're going to start talking about one specific fairy, or hidden person, or elf. And despite my not having any photos or videos to back it up, you'll have to believe me that last week at Scandinavia House, the sprite-like Reykjaviker you're thinking of did indeed manifest herself in a striking, stiff, white-and-purple dress for a ten-minute interaction with book-reading humans on behalf of her longtime friend and collaborator Sjón.
It's a young crowd, trendy, expectant, giddy even, though I'm surprised to see so many empty seats. It turns out Scandinavia House closed their RSVP list weeks earlier, almost immediately after announcing the event, grossly botching the numbers and no doubt needlessly turning away scores of would-be attendees. But it's no matter to those of us here—in fact it makes the evening feel all the more intimate.
It's a coming-out-from-under-the-mountain kind of moment for Sjón himself. Although a well-known writer in Iceland, if Sjón's name rings a bell at all in the States it's been as Björk's frequent lyricist—notably on her Biophilia album, her 2004 Olympic theme song, and Dancer in the Dark, her Lars von Trier film. Things have changed for him in a hurry though, as Farrar, Straus & Giroux sent the poet/novelist on a U.S. tour (Seattle, Portland, Santa Barbara, San Francisco, and New York) to promote the three simultaneously released books: the full-length From the Mouth of the Whale and the novellas The Blue Fox and The Whispering Muse. Move over Blue Lagoon, Americans are about to have a new second-favorite Iceland reference.
The five-city, three-book, one-author tour culminates in the event at Scandinavia House, where Björk treats the assembled to the kind of intimate, I-knew-him-when introduction usually reserved for siblings at wedding parties. Then again, it quickly becomes clear that there's a sort of brother-sister camaraderie between the two. Read More »
Diego, Frida, and Me
March 20, 2013 | by Molly Crabapple
When a woman artist looks for her forebears, she sees a void.
There are, needless to say, great female artists. There's Tamara de Lempicka, queen of art deco. There's Artemisia Gentileschi, forever in paintings, cutting off her rapist's head. There's love-ravished Camille Claudel, making the hands of her lover Rodin's sculptures before being institutionalized for forty years. There are Mary Cassatt's paintings of children. But it can't be denied: the canon of Western woman's art is nothing compared to the canon of Western woman's writing.
Noted Audre Lorde, "Of all the art forms, poetry is the most economical. It is the one which is the most secret, which requires the least physical labor, the least material, and the one which can be done between shifts, in the hospital pantry, on the subway, and on scraps of surplus paper." While a writer may require only a room of one's own, an artist needs years of training, muses, a studio, canvas, paints, patrons, and, fundamentally, a world that lets her be grubby and feral and alone.
Growing up, the women in art history who inspired me were primarily models: Victorine Muerent. La Goulue. Far from pampered, indolent odalisques, these are sexy, tough, working-class women, often with backgrounds in the sex trade. Notable contrasts to the genteel girls who studied flower painting along with piano and embroidery, my archetypes were flamboyant, glamorous self-creations, unabashedly employing themselves as their own raw materials in a world that would give them nothing else. I too worked as an artist's model. For an artist, the job is a paradox: you're clay for someone else's creation while longing to make your own. Read More »

Santiago show - Ghosts in the machine.
11 February 1998
Santiago show - Ghosts in the machine.
Santiago show - Ghosts in the machine. The lemon is saved, but there are many uncomfortable resonances from Chile's dark past in the stadium and the city. No one wants to dig too deep.
Santiago, Chile. Show day. Well, the elastic band arrived on time so all is well in Lemon Land. Just as well, given that this show goes out live on national TV here. The stadium has undergone something of a facelift since the last time I was here (just a few months after Pinochet was ousted). They have taken a million yards of raw canvas and done an "Arabian Nights" job on every room and corridor in the place. This makes it all a little stuffy, but does serve to disguise the memory of the atrocities committed in this building. It was pretty grim beforehand - the place having been used to hold, torture and kill countless "undesirables" once Pinochet came to power. Its a hard thing to say, but when you've got a gig to do, its probably best to just get on with it and not dwell too much on the history of the building.
Having said that, though, Chile's Mothers of the Disappeared made a stage appearance tonight, and Bono made an appeal (on live TV, remember) to 'Mr. Pinochet' to "tell these women where their children are, so they can bury them and put them to rest". He also spoke about a country (any country) needing to deal with the past in order to face the future. It was interesting that in Argentina this sentiment got such overwhelming support from the audience, but here in Chile there were noticeably mixed opinions in the house. This is a beautiful, modern city (quite unrecognisable from when I was here in 1990) and it's a beautiful, peaceful country, but you can't help but feel its a fragile peace. (A rather strange 'city guide' in my hotel room makes the dubious boast that "in the main, Chile has been a very democratic country with only four periods of dictatorship in its entire history"). Now that on the surface all seems to be well here, the U.S. commercial invasion is in full swing (McDonald's is offering its latest promotional burger; the "McNifico"). We've had a crew joke, particularly in reference to the brand new shopping mall next to our hotel which looks like it just descended from suburban USA, "is this Santiago or San Diego?". There's a strong sense of "nobody dig too deep and it'll all be just fine". I hope so, its such a beautiful place, but along with Blockbuster Video, Radio Shack and Benetton there's a lot of ghosts lurking here.

I want to ask the "experts" on this mailing list a question I've had
for years. It involves "best practices" for the multiple volume
settings available on most computer systems ...Say I am playing an audio stream from 'last.fm'.
The way I see it, there are *four* different possible volume settings:
"line" (e.g., PCM) volume, application (e.g., Rhythmbox, TVTime, ...)
volume, mixer "master" volume, and speaker volume.I would guess that the last (speaker) volume should be set (dynamically
when needed) to whatever is currently most appropriate for the listener.But what about the other three? Should they all be set at 50%?
If not, what other values should be used?Can anyone give some guidelines?
Thanks for your comments!

Published on 22.7.2013 13:29After a hard MX1 race in Finland B-Moto Ludde headed over to Ukraine with his mechanic. Bad luck seems to be following them as their van broke down in the middle of Romania. Like that wasn't enough their new ride from the organizer decided to call it quits and only the third van was able to get the guys and the bikes to Chernivtsy, Romania.
Exhausting trip meant less sleep for B-Moto Ludde and his first practice the next day couldn't have been any worse. "In practice I was doing okay in top ten, I had a mid-pack start in the qualifying race but did not enjoy the track. Then another rider, Karas from Croatia, crashed after a jump and I missed the yellow flags so landed on top of his bike. I got away shaken but unhurt, my bike was destroyed so we had to get the second bike ready."
Even though B-Moto Ludde wasn't enjoying the dusty, rock hard track in Chernivtsy, his performance in Moto one got him 10th and in Moto two he ended up in 13th. With three rounds left in the MX3 World Championship series B-Moto Ludde is just one point behind Bertuzzo, who is sixth in the championship points.
Next MX3 race: Matterley Basin, UK – August 25th

Tom Brady Explains His Bieber Hair
Tom Brady proves that women young and old can't resist the allure of a shaggy Justin Bieber-style haircut.
The New England Patriots quarterback recently opened up about his new "Bieber hair" with the Boston Herald. When asked about cutting his shaggy 'do, Tom replied that the interviewer would "have to speak to my wife about that." Does this mean that Tom's wife, supermodel extraordinaire Gisele Bundchen, prefers him with a bang-tastic Bieber locks?
Maybe Gisele wants Tom to enjoy being a "cool dad" for a while: She gave birth to their son Benjamin in December.
What do you think of Tom's Bieber hair? Share your thoughts in the comments below.

Supermarkets may take flood-damaged produce
Major supermarket chains are considering relaxing their standards to allow damaged fruit and vegetables to be sold in their stores.
Coles says it is changing 100 standards to allow for weather-damaged goods, while Woolworths says it is considering the issue on a case-by-case basis.
Coles fruit and vegetable manager Greg Davis says Queensland produce is suffering mainly from rain damage.
"Whenever times are tough we look at changing our specifications... sometimes the colour hasn't ripened as well as it could, sometimes there's some markings," he said.
More than 200,000 people in 40 communities across Queensland have been impacted in some way by the floods.
Most of the state's rivers have now reached their peaks, with floodwaters affecting an area approximately the size of New South Wales.

Fishtail Kitchen aromatically exalts senses with its vast menu of authentic culinary treasures from India and Nepal. Launch taste voyages with traditional appetizers of piping-hot pakoras ($3.49+), crispy fried samosas ($3.29+), or fluffy disks of naan ($2.49+). Try a tandoori entree such as lamb tikka kebab, skewered with tender, yogurt-coated lamb and tandoor-grilled spices ($13.49). Meatless avengers will defend vegetable and seafood entrees, including the goan shrimp curry and its pools of garlic, ginger, and coconut-milk broth ($13.99). Others may explore the doughy delights of southern-Indian cuisine, characterized by crêpes and thick pancakes that gift one with the mental agility required to beat Sitar Hero on hard mode. Cap meals with a sweet dessert of kheer ($2.99) or rasmalai, a cultured dish of cheese, milk, and pistachios ($3.49).
In a feature in the Boston Globe, Sher-A-Punjab co-owner Mandeep Singh claimed, "There are things on our menu you can't find at other Indian restaurants." Contemporary adaptations such as mango chicken and naan stuffed with apricots and dates accompany more traditional plates that remain true to Singh's South-Asian roots. Tandoor-roasted chicken, housemade cheese with fresh herbs and coriander, and fragrant curries round out the restaurant's eclectic menu.
High-backed booths and dangling pendant lamps surround the dining room's horseshoe-shaped bar, pillaged from the hoof of the Trojan horse. Throughout the week, Sher-A-Punjab entertain with karaoke nights and live musical performances.
It's easy to fill up on bread at this North Indian eatery, considering the kitchen makes more than a dozen kinds, from deep-fried whole wheat to naan stuffed with potatoes and peas. Resist the urge, and you'll get to feast on lamb vindaloo or shrimp curry, but either way, lilting tabla and sitar tunes act as the soundtrack.
Each linen napkin is folded in such a manner that it drapes over the edge of a drinking glass like the petals of a flower. The napkin's soft pink hue complements Himalayan Bistro's deep red booths and the vibrant art on the walls. The aromas of ginger, chili paste, and Himalayan peppercorns drift from the kitchen, hinting at dishes traditionally served in the streets and homes of Kathmandu and other regions of Nepal. Steamed dumplings brim with veggies like the pockets of a scarecrow on payday, and tendrils of smoke unwind from kebabs in a tandoor or over an open charcoal fire. Traditional music plays in the background, the unfamiliar scales and nearby antique statuettes completing the sensation of having traveled halfway around the world.
The husband-and-wife team that runs Shanti-Taste of India has seen more than their fair share of couples enter their restaurant's doors on a date and return, many years later, with their children in tow. The love that the duo has put into their business since 1999 is certainly returned by their clients. More tangible proof of their popularity comes from the eatery's 2012 award from Boston magazine for Best Indian Restaurant. The authentic food served at Shanti blends both Indian and Bangladeshi cuisines, a tastier way to learn about the world than dipping a globe in ranch dressing and trying to eat it. Boston reviewers particularly enjoyed the vegetable pakoras—which they called "deep-fried pockets of pillowy goodness"—as well as the tandoori dishes, which the kitchen staff fires in a 900-degree oven.
Before diners even glance at OM's menu, their eyes feast upon a banquet of Asian art. Colorful Thangka paintings and Buddhist statues handcrafted by more than 50 Nepalese, Tibetan, and Thai artists color the space, and intricate Newar carvings frame the walls and doorways. Upon sitting at one of the bare, rectangular tables, patrons exchange pleasantries with their chairs and read through a menu reflective of the art that surrounds them. For instance, small plates of spicy edamame and veggie spring rolls join full entrees of shrimp pad thai or salmon wrapped in tempura nori. An intricate drink list includes the mandarin kaze (orange vodka spiked with sichuan peppercorn) and the Bangkok julep (a blend of bourbon, elderflower, and mint).
Beneath the dining room, a downstairs lounge hosts a diverse lineup of events. Salsa lessons make use of the dance floor, and vinyl parties enable attendees to trade, sell, or just play their records. DJs take over the turntables on Saturday nights, and a cover band re-creates classic R & B tunes every Tuesday.

5 credit card traps to avoid
- Published: 7 Dec 2012 at 19.21 | Viewed: 5,418 | Comments: 12
- Online news: News
- Writer: Online Reporters
The festive season is approaching and that means people will be making heavy use of their credit cards -- up to 30% more than at other times of the year, according to TMB Analytics.
All that extra spending means that many credit cardholders will need to work harder to avoid bad habits that can lead them into debt trouble, say analysts at the TMB Bank affiliate.
TMB Analytics estimates that total spending via plastic will increase from 6,100 baht to 8,100 baht per card on average by the end of December.

Russia has no grounds to ban grain exports this season, according to Pavel Skurikhin, president of the country's Grain Producers' Union.
Russia's grains harvest is seen at below 80 million metric tons in the season that started July 1 because of factors including drought, Skurikhin said today at a news conference in Moscow.
Drought in the country's south in May and June is now in Siberia's Altai region, Skurikhin said. Altai was the fifth biggest grain growing region in Russia last year after it harvested 3.9 million tons of grain, state statistics data show.
Other reasons of a lower crop include high cost of loans for farmers and aging agricultural machines, limited usage of fertilizers and pesticides, he said.
Still, the crop will meet domestic demand of about 73 million tons, he said, and carryover stocks are seen at about 15 million tons.

If you're okay with getting to space the old fashioned way. (From the surface of a planet using rockets. ) It's not really futuristic like Battlestar Galactic or the other games mentioned, so don't expect to get further out than the games equivalent of Pluto. On the plus side It's got spacecraft flying, Sim Stuff, full spacecraft construction and recently a research and development system. It leans towards realism though, so be warned you may blow yourself up... a lot... especially if you ignore basic rocket science principles. It's an Indie game and still in Beta, which might also influence your choices. | |

Take a look at this game, Evochron Mercenary http://store.steampowered.com/app/71000/ You can literally fly from outer space to a planet's surface without loading screens (it just takes a really long time) It's mead to be "realistic" (as in, how realistic is a space sim really going to be?) and has features like cutting off your engines and just coasting through space since unlike a car, you won't lose velocity just because you stopped accelerating. Where as Star Wars has TIE Fighters banking in space to turn, the ships in EM have omnidirectional thrusters placed all over the ship. The gameplay is pure sandbox, there is no real objective beyond the objectives you set for yourself, and you have ultimate freedom to do whatever you want. It's a pretty incredible game. --- "The easiest way to stop piracy is ... by giving those people a service that's better than what they're receiving from the pirates." ~ Gabe Newell. | |

At least 20 persons were rescued
Firefighters played a stellar role in saving the lives of many passengers of an AC coach of the Bangalore-Nanded Express, where a fire killed 26 people, and in containing the situation at the earliest.
Speaking to The Hindu, S. Krishna Naik, a constable with the Fire Safety Department who fainted towards the end of the operation, said the firemen reached the site in just 10 minutes.
"We could see around forty people in the coach desperately trying to make their way out, and while two of us pushed through in spite of the flames, the rest helped the passengers break the windows and come out," he said.
The effort of the fire servicemen would have saved at least 20 lives.
As the fire was put out, the smoke poured out, disrupting rescue for a while even as Mr. Krishna Naik fainted. He was dragged out by one of his colleagues.
President Pranab Mukherjee's recent visit to Anantapur also seems to have helped the firefighters: an advanced firefighting vehicle, which had been brought to the city, was also pressed into service.
Meanwhile, Collector D. S. Lokesh Kumar and DIG B. Bala Krishna, who reached the spot by around 6 a.m., stayed on till the end of the day, coordinating and supervising the rescue efforts.
DPRO P. Thimmappa, Kadiri RDO Rajasekhar and Joint Collector Sathyanarayana helped in speeding up the rescue efforts.

Staying connected to the outside world when you're a full-time mom can be difficult. But the Texthook can change that. The Texthook is a phone-holder that clips on to any handle bar—namely, the one on your baby's stroller—so that you can text, email, or chat wherever the day takes you.
Acting like a 'dashboard' for your media device, the Texthook can also be clipped onto the handle of a bike or a shopping cart. Plus, since it comes pre-assembled, all you have to do is just clip it where you want it and go.

Yes, fry! I was in someone's house recently. They had obviously fried some din-din recently. Or maybe not so recently. I realized it's been so long that I've fried something in my home that I don't think I've ever done it. Definately not in this house (been here 12 years) and definitely never deep fried. I don't even have a greasy kitchen on the few times I remember early on I came home and DH was trying to cook crab chimichangas from a recipe his friend made. I spent the next month being disgusted with the smell of oil in the house. That might have been the last time. Do people fry things anymore? Or, are you used to it like people get used to cigarette smoke or (I'm guilty here:) cat litter? |

I fry but not everyday. I fry chicken, eggs, hamburger, pork sausage, etc. in a pan on the stove. How else would you cook this stuff? I use Coconut or olive oil, or butter. I have made crullers in lard. I would love to get a deep fryer. I turn on the range hood when cooking so the smells travel outside. |
Ok. I'll bite: chicken: I don't know how one does that. eggs: since I scramble, you must be talking about those things that stare at you. My dad made those, but it was in a tiny bit of butter, just so they didn't stick. Then they invented Teflon. hamburger: broil or grill pork sausage: grill, or for jambalaya or spaghetti, I nuke it in a colander over a bowl to cook out the grease. etc: that's why I'm asking! :) crullers: OMG. Delish. You can buy lard? Or do you save it from roasts, for example? Range hood; Doesn't the grease land on things, anyway? |
My first choice would be to use the outdoor gas grill (but it has been too snowy and/or cold here in the Midwest). Second choice is to broil. If I am too tired, my third choice is to fry using canola or extra virgin olive oil. Last week I made an adaptation of Rachel Ray's Caccatorie Burgers. I use a wonderful splatter screen that has an odor absorbing filter inside it to cover the skillet. My son gave me that at Christmas 2012. The first time I used it was with frying fish. It is a marvel how it captures smells so they do not linger. In fact, the only way anyone knew I was making fish was when smells escaped when I lifted the screen to turn the fish over. The screen is dishwasher safe but I usually hand wash it. My vent is a recirculating one. :( That is one of the things I will most enjoy changing when we can reno our kitchen! I am having difficulty getting the URL to properly copy for anyone interested in the splatter screen. Just go to bedbathandbeyond.com and search for Splatter Screen 13-Inch Odor Absorbing with Collapsible Handle. It is a keeper. |
I too Fear the Fry. I almost never deep-fry anything, for three reasons: 1) the oil can make a big mess; 2) the oil can be stinky; 3) if I felt more comfortable frying, there's a good chance I would make fried foods at home every single day (doughnuts, samosas, chicken, loukoumades, sopaipillas, egg rolls...). We have friends who own a deep-fryer, though, and one night recently, they brought it over for a churro party. It was delightful, and I don't remember it stinking up the house too badly. It definitely was nice to use something with a built-in thermometer and grease containment device. Of course, yesterday, after I told my son he could choose any meal he liked for getting a good report card, he asked if it could be dessert, any dessert he liked. I said, sure, whatever you like. He paused and said, "well, I might need to buy you a deep fryer..." Not quite sure what he's got planned but I like the way he thinks! |
I have never deep-fried anything. Types of things I fry, in either a cast-iron or nonstick pan: Hamburger patty. It goes straight into a hot pan, no extra oil. I like the regular kind of hamburger because it tastes good. There's some grease splatter on the stove top. Since I have a white enamel stove, it's easy to clean up. Range hood/fan pulls the airborne stuff and smells up up and away. Fried eggs, in butter. Over hard. Meat (chuck roast, chicken, pork chops, etc.) that need a sear but will be finished by a non-fry method. The occasional sausage. Lots of veggies, but I guess that's more of a saute. Edited to add: Bacon, but always in the microwave. |

Deep fry (not saute, not bacon or eggs or sausage): -chicken -shrimp -fish -samosas -these turn up often enough, others more randomly. A good hood helps. I don't do this often enough to save the oil for other uses. So it goes out. |
The only thing I've fried in the last 30 years, and it was deep fat fried, were the chocolate chip cookie dough egg rolls I made last year (in May) for my friend's birthday. I still have the oil in the fridge-what should I do with it? |
- Posted by Melissaki5 (My Page) on Mon, Mar 10, 14 at 23:41
I generally fry once a year and that is on Thankgsgiving when we fry a few turkeys. We invested in an indoor electric turkey fryer a few years ago as the propane ones can be a little dangerous. However, even though the fryer can be used in the house we still use it in the garage. It leaves a lingering fried turkey smell in the garage for days but at least it's not in my house Sometimes we will do chicken wings in the same fryer, again in the garage. Other than that no frying, but I do saute pretty often and that can make a mess too. |
Oh yes, I definitely fry, though rarely do I deep fry. The only time I have a pan full of oil is if my husband is making his beignets. I make egg rolls and wonton chips but I only put about a half inch of oil in my skillet to cook them, turning frequently to cook all sides and keeping the lid on in between to reduce splatters. I do sauté chicken and vegetables, especially for things like fajitas. My tortillas only take a quick spray of Pam to cook so they aren't fried. I also fry my grilled cheese sandwiches. To me, it isn't a grilled cheese sandwich if you haven't put some butter on the outside and tossed it in a frying pan. I haven't ever noticed a smell the next day and no one coming over has ever mentioned being able to smell anything so I guess I'm good. We do get splatters on the stove top which we clean off when we are done cooking but we try to minimize them by keeping a lid over the pan as much as possible. |
I forgot to mention, any time we are cooking where there is even a remote possibility of splatters, we wear our aprons. Also, bacon. How could I forget bacon!?! |
i don't fry anything. It just never appealed to me So I wok. bake, or grill. I remember as a child my mom deep-frying doughnuts and corn fritters. Ohhhh - they were both so good. |
I never considered a grilled cheese or bacon to be fried, but I guess they are! And a grilled cheese with butter. Is there any other way to make that?!? I saw a restaurant sign in Annapolis yesterday. It said, "We have bacon and we're not afraid to use it!" Far from original, but I burst out laughing. By the way. Cookie dough egg rolls!? Are you HOLDING OUT ON US? |
I know, at first I thought the same thing but technically frying is just cooking something in fat or oil. Do others really NEVER use fat or oil in their pan before they throw their meat or veggies in? I can't imagine cooking without the extra tastiness!! |

Goodness...I suppose I "fry" quite a bit. Really, I guess it would be more correct to say that I saute a lot. Tonight - I used a bit of flour that I seasoned well to coat chicken breast cut into bite sized pieces, put in a a bit of coconut oil in a fry pan and seared chicken before it went into a pot of slowly simmered diced tomatoes, red and yellow peppers, and onion with a bunch of spices. But yeah, that chicken was sauteed. I don't use teflon pots or pans really. So, a small amount of oil of some sort is often called for when cooking. Now my bacon, oddly enough, I don't fry. Instead, I bake it in the oven. Oh yeah, and I save the fat that was rendered off while baking it to use a bit of it when cooking to add flavor also. |
I don't use Teflon either. Most people don't know it but if you read the fine print on Teflon pans they give a warning about birds. The fumes they produce can kill birds. I had a pet bird (who has since passed away) when I purchased my pans so I made certain to purchase all stainless steel cookware. Combined with my grandmothers saladmaster pots and pans from the 60s, I have never had a need for Teflon. |
I pan-fried a couple of steaks recently. We were living in a rental condo while our house was being built. It had a microwave vent hood (totally worthless, unless LOTS of noise is your goal!). Even though it was cold outside, I had to open doors and windows to get the smoke and the smell out. The smell took days to completely dissipate. Generally, if I have to fry something like sausage, I do it in an electric skillet on the patio, or on the side burner of the gas grill (both were in storage when I had my steak-cooking episode). Bacon gets cooked in the oven. You still get the smell of cooking bacon in the house, but it is not as strong as it is when bacon is cooked on the stove top. Plus, the splatters are contained in the oven. I bought the same vent hood for the new house that I had in the old house. I have the Zephyr Typhoon -850 CFM. It does a good job of drawing smells and grease out of the house. FWIW, I read somewhere that your vent hood will be more efficient if you turn it on about 5 minutes before you start cooking. |

I guess it depends on what your definition of fry is. If it is sauteing onions in a tbs of oil for soup or curry or stir fried veggies also in a Tbs of oil, then YES, all the time! There are many many things I "fry" starting with a shallow pan and a Tbs of oil. When I make pad thai or chicken curry I even fry the meat (brown) also with a small amount of oil (Tbs or less). I fry (brown) the meatballs for sauce. Same for baked penne (italian sausage and peppers get fried/browned up before going in the bake). many others. As far as deep frying, with inches of oil in a pan.....maybe once a year for the super bowl or something. |
- Posted by debrak2008 (My Page) on Tue, Mar 11, 14 at 7:58
Wanted to add I do use a splatter screen. I consider putting anything in a pan on a heat source to be frying. Without without added oil. How would you cook ground up hamburger or pork sausage. Not patties but ground up? Yes you could use the MW but it comes out much better in a pan and I don't need to add oil. Lard. Had a hard time finding pure lard. I found a sausage/meat company that butchers hogs for their meats and then renders their own lard. I buy it from them. Lard is actually not bad for you. You have to google but you can find the story about how lard got a bad rap all because crisco wanted in on the market and developed "shortning". |

I love home fried potatoes and they were a standard for breakfast. Fried eggs in butter and bacon. Grew up on lard, my kids on fried food. Nothing really deep fried. Except when I got into homemade doughnuts years ago. Most meat is oven roasted and thankful for barbeques in all seasons. Recent events have changed my appeal for anything fried. I do love and use butter on my veggies though. |
I don't have any Teflon, either. Back in the day (I hate that expression) it was a Godsend, though. I don't add any fat to meet. And hamburger in the pan I've always known as "browning." Now, if I do chopped onions first, I do add some butter, but that's "softening" or "sautéing." The aroma of bacon in a house is heaven. I don't cook bacon. I buy it in a bag at BJ's. but then, I don't have a need for strips, just crumbles. Coffee, espresso and bacon smell far better than they taste. I adore both, right up there with Reese's cups and cookie dough, but the aroma is far better. Getting to consume them is just a bonus. |
Deep frying?? Oh yeah. Big ol'strong range hood right over the fryer seems to do the trick. My range hood pulls enough CFM it can seal the doors shuts, so not much oil and grease is getting into the house (and my father made sure I installed vents with minimal ridging to minimize accumulation, and my range hood also has built-in, replaceable (and washable) filters. So I just pop those out every so often and replace/clean. Makes a huge difference. My old house, you could tell they always deep fried on the stove top and there was no range hood...ceiling yellowed over time. And my deepfryer (T-fal) also has a built-in filter from where it vents. I've got that covered. ;) What have I deep fried?? Fish in a crispy batter, I can make those amazing donuts you find at the fair all covered in cinnamon and sugar, I deep fry regular donuts stuffed with jam fillings, fry french fries (from home grown potatoes with the skins on...amazing). Deep fry chicken wings (amazing). Sometimes we deep fry perogies (little cheese and potato filled dumplings). We've made home-made chips in the deep fryer...hash brown patties that taste like McDonalds. My mom loves to batter asparagus and deep fry it....Corn dogs of course. These 'cookies' we call 'nothings' that are light and crispy and covered in icing sugar...Onion rings. Gawd deep fried onion rings are amazing.... Sorry to say, you're missing out! You may outlive me, but I'm a happy, happy woman ;) (and thankfully me and the DH are those freaks who never put on any weight...I swear we should be a thousand pounds the way we cook!) |
Christine- lol - I did think of you when I posted about that last night. I'll link that thread below. We're vegetarians, but I do saute many things as illinigirl describes above. I'm glad we now have a functional hood above the range to deal with that. |

We saute or stir fry often, shallow fry sometimes (e.g. making latkas or a potato and chickpea chat in a half inch of oil). We deep fry occasionally - mainly to make falafel, occasionally a fritter or doughnut. None of that leaves a lingering odor - we have a good vent hood that we turn on whenever we fry or saute. That takes care of most of the grease - put the filter baffles into the dishwasher occasionally to clean. Any splatters are easily wiped up from the rangetop front and the quartzite counter. I usually use a large wok when I deep fry and most of the splatters stay within the wok. |
awnmyown, oh, pleeeeeeze. Live longer? HEALTH!? You must be (relatively?) new 'round here or you'd know I am renown for living months at a time on espresso and Reese's Cups. Last 2 months it was espresso and tubs of cookie dough. I never, ever, mentioned anything about health or living longer. THE last thing on my list. I recently had something interesting happen tho. Reminds me of that statement, but is a tangent in itself. I go to Longhorn every Friday for years and have an 18oz Ribeye (RARE!), mashed taties with bacon, sometimes a salad with bacon, and a glass of wine. If I'm feeling frisky, maybe two. Then I go home. No life with 3 jobs. Other assumptions about made about anyone who long-term practices yoga I debunk are: I drink a little wine. If I remember correctly, I used to like sex. I wear high heels. I do not carpool. I recycle only if it means burying paper in the garden for lasagna gardening composting. I hate to sit still. "Relax" is not in my yogic vocabulary. My own reasons for not doing junk food (other than listed above) fast food (I will love it) or snack food are kind of "eh". But, I also don't smoke anything, don't do drugs, don't jump out of planes or spelunker are simply because I don't care. I gotta die of something. leeeeela4. |
"Stench" of grease?? LOVE the smell of home-made French fries and home-fried chicken!!! Don't make it too often, but yes, I do fry (sometimes in Fry-Daddy, mostly in just a little oil in frying pan. Yum! Colonel Sanders can't compare! |
legallin, you can't tell me you've never walked into a house and been hit in the face with old grease smell. There's a difference between delicious cooking smells (bacon and coffee, for example) and old grease. Particularly when it's hot inside, the air is heavy, and it's thick to breathe with the smell. |
I'm with CEF on the smell thing. While it's cooking and while I'm eating the finished product, the odors of cooking don't bother me...not even cruciferous vegetables. But once I leave the house and come back in, I do not want to smell stale odors from cooking. I read once that if you were trying to get rid of cooking odors, you should put a saucepan with 1:1 white vinegar and water on one of the eyes to simmer. I've done that. All I discovered was a different cooking odor. Like someone was making salad dressing and warming it on the stove. It wasn't great, and sure beat the smell of fried food, but it was pungent in its own way. Edited to replace !:! with 1:1 |

CEFreeman, I think you're my NEW best friend!! Omg, I love reese and since my new oven went in, it's cookie-dough from the bag as I *try* in vain to get it on that cookie sheet and into the oven. Oh so many fails ;) But like Legallin, I actually love the smell of french fries in the deep frier and such. But I grew up with my mom doing that all the time. I guess those range hoods always pulled the "stench" out enough for me, and I maybe it's a little cultural?? What we grew up with, so it smells like home? Or maybe these folks aren't rotating their oil enough?? I always filter mine before storage (if I'm reusing), refrigerate and replace often. We also only leave the oil out long enough to cool and then place it in glass jars. I like to think all of that helps... Certainly no grease stains on my parents' ceiling after 25 years in the house and my mom fries daily at least. Or the type of oil?? We've always been a canola oil family, so maybe it's lower odor?? ...wonder what deepfried cookie dough would taste like?? ;) ...especially if it was wrapped around a reese peanut butter cup... ;) |
Never deep fry, but my wife sautes, pan fries, and browns pretty often. We have a splatter shield that works really well to prevent mess. It also prevents odors since the grease doesn't get in the air. My wife is an excellent cook, but I have no idea what I'm doing in the kitchen. One Saturday right after Julie and Julia came out my wife was out of town and I decided to make Juila's Boeuf bourguignon. The recipe is about 5 pages long and requires browning virtually every ingredient in butter and bacon fat. It took me 6 hours, I think I used every dish in the kitchen, and there was grease on EVERYTHING. Like so much grease that the floors were slippery. I also drank a martini while I cooked, and then another, and another (did I mention it took a LONG time to make this). By the time I finally sat down to dinner at 10:30, I was drunk as a skunk and covered in grease. |
Oh, where is the LIKE button for edb2n's post. That was hilarious! My mom was never much of a drinker. She would sip on the same Tom Collins from New Year's Eve until the following Christmas. One day she decided she wanted to see what everyone else saw in alcohol. She proceeded to get plastered and nearly burned the kitchen down cooking supper. I don't think Daddy told the insurance folks exactly how the fire started. (To make this relevant, I'm sure she was frying something. She fried everything!) |
Our electric turkey fryer stays in the garage with the garage door open, and if I deep fry anything other than a turkey (I have a killer recipe for curried deep fried won-tons), it's outside, on the side burner of our grill. I pan fry in our kitchen fairly often, but that doesn't make much smell / spatter compared to deep frying. Good thing, because our wimpy recirculating range hood is mainly only good for making noise, as noted above. I should probably look into a spatter shield for our grill though, because it is a mess! |
LOL on the post by edb2n - that is just too funny!!! Yes, I fry and saute. Not too terribly often - I hate the splatter and clean up. Even with the hood going full blast there is still grease to clean up, no residual smells though, which is good. |
Incidentally, the beef was fantastic! It's my favorite meal now (though my wife cooks it instead of me). And I managed to sober up enough to clean up the mess before she got home. Bbstx: frying and alcohol don't mix! Although I believe Julia Child was known to take an occasional nip from the wine she was cooking with |
ROTFL. It reminds me of the chimichanga story of my ex-DH. there is no such thing as off-topic here. It involves kitchens, food, cooking -- or not -- how we do what we do and maybe even why we do what we do. I'm still dying over the being covered with grease. Do any of you actually remember learning how to cook? The things we take for granted, which make some of the stories all together more funny? Should I tell you the story of me making paella for the first time as a very young, just out of collage on my own girl? (No, I was never that young...) With the octopus? No grease or oil involved.... |
- Posted by firsthouse_mp (My Page) on Wed, Mar 12, 14 at 2:16
Totally related but definitely off topic...my dad uses the old oil for fueling his car. He has one of those old Mercedes that has been converted to accept oil as fuel. My sisters and I make fun of him and have re-dubbed his car "French Fry Mobile". He's a bit picky about his oil though....he gets it from some high end restaurant that cleans their oil every other day. He says that their oil runs cleaner and is better for his car. I don't deep fry but my dad certainly loves his oil. Another totally off topic about oil: do you ever Oil Pull? I just started and am intrigued to see if I feel any health benefits. Ah OIL, the deep dark lovely secrets of those who do or don't use it :) Man I really hijacked this thread now....... |
- Posted by scpalmetto (My Page) on Wed, Mar 12, 14 at 7:26
This is a hysterical thread. I think some of us are more sensitive to grease odors, I can't stand them myself and can always smell when someone has been frying. There is a local seafood place that is famous and I won't go in the door anymore because every time I have been there I came home smelling like grease. My clothes and my hair had to be washed immediately. We try and cook anything smelly or messy on the grill, the side burner is great. I even steam shrimp outside, it is not just greasy odors that bother me. Much as love to eat cookie dough and the cookies themselves, I hate the smell of them cooking. Go figure. |
Hold the phone. You don't look the smell of cookies baking? Something is wrong with you. That's Un-American! CEFreeman, I would like to hear your octopus story. |

PETALING JAYA: The month-long controversial spat between local starlets Anzalna Nasir and Neelofa has finally ended with the former issuing a public apology for defaming Neelofa in a newspaper article in June.
The apology by Anzalna, 24, whose real name is Nur Anzalna Md Nasir, follows her admission that she did not have any evidence to support her allegations against Neelofa to the newspaper concerned.
"I, Nur Anzalna Md Nasir, on the advice of Persatuan Seniman Malaysia hereby apologises to Neelofa for a statement made in Berita Mingguan on June 10, 2012, on page 10 which brought disrepute to Neelofa and her family," she said in the presence of Neelofa at a press conference organised by Seniman at a hotel in Kuala Lumpur yesterday.
"I admit to not having solid evidence when I made the statement to the newspaper concerned. I honestly did not have any intention of embarrassing anyone by the statement."
Also present were the actresses' two lawyers, Seniman president Zed Zaidi and complaints and legal bureau chief Zahrin Ishak.
However, despite the apology, things between the two actresses remained icy and awkward, with neither making eye contact or exchanging greetings.
Details of the terms of apology in Neelofa's letter were not distributed to the media.
It had previously been reported that Anzalna accused Neelofa of belittling her family by setting up a page in Facebook entitled "We Hate Anzalna" and describing her as being ill-natured.
Neelofa, 23, whose real name is Noor Neelofa Mohd Noor, considered the issue closed.
"I am thankful this (fight) is over now. I chose to resolve the case in a legal manner because I know that the truth is on my side and it has been proven today," she said.
The spat erupted following Anzalna's statement to the newspaper in an article headlined Anzalna bidas Neelofa' (Anzalna chastises Neelofa).
