Protests continue in Bahrain
Web users report on the ongoing protests in Bahrain. An anti-abortion campaign has sparked controversy in Macedonia. And a group of men change the tires of a moving car…
Protests continue in Bahrain
The protest movement continues in Bahrain. The regime is still under pressure from protesters who are no longer satisfied with occupying Pearl Square in Manama. As we see in this amateur footage, thousands of protesters took to the streets of the capital on Tuesday.
College students have joined the movement. These images show how hundreds of youths played truant to gather in front of Bahrain's Ministry of Education, showing the demonstrators in Pearl Square their support by chanting the same slogans
The Shiite opposition is still rejecting an offer of dialogue from the authorities and has formulated a list of demands on the Internet. It notably insists the current government steps down and asks for a new constitution to establish a constitutional monarchy.
In view of the number of protesters in Pearl Square chanting slogans attacking the King, this request is far from having unanimous support. Some sections of the protest movement have become more radical following last month's violent repression and some now want the Sunni Al-Khalifa dynasty, which has ruled the country for over 200 years, to step down.
The situation has prompted royal supporters to mobilize, via an Internet campaign in particular. The site "Peace Bahrain" was set up recently to put forward the point of view of Bahraini citizens who remain loyal to their monarch.
Anti-abortion campaign in Macedonia
These videos were posted online by the Macedonian government as part of an anti-abortion campaign launched at the beginning of 2011, and have sparked controversy on the local web. The video clips are intended to point out the potential dangers of terminating a pregnancy and put the country's women off abortion. The initiative has been condemned by many web users who feel the authorities are questioning a woman's right to choose. Reactions online.
On her blog "Feministik", Kika a young Macedonian woman says this campaign is quite simply absurd. She says it's up to doctors and not the government to point out the potential dangers linked to abortion. She also explains that by encouraging women to keep their baby no matter what, the authorities do not have the mothers or their offspring's best interests at heart.
Mirjana Najcevska is calling upon doctors and gynecologists to mobilize against this campaign which in her opinion is misinforming people. She says that even if abortions can have consequences on a patient's health, having a child is not without its risks. Instead of discouraging women from having abortions, the blogger would have preferred the government launch a prevention campaign to reduce the number of unwanted pregnancies.
Local NGO HERA agrees and says the authorities should focus their attention on educating women and on developing methods of contraception instead of stigmatizing sections of the population.
The Mark Zuckerberg comic book
Following on from the film "The Social Network" which retraces the story of the world's most popular social network, Facebook, the life of its founder Mark Zuckerberg is now being retold in a comic book. The comic was created by American publishing company Bluewater Productions and fans can get their hands on it for 7 dollars.
Strange Russian wedding photos
There appears to be a craze in Russia for editing and staging wedding photos. And to poke fun at this rather strange trend, the site "Englishrussia" is publishing dozens of photos of the happy day, each one kitschier than the next. The pictures are sometimes in doubtful taste…
Video of the day
These men succeeded in the unlikely feat of changing two tires on a moving car, and their exploits were filmed in this trip across the desert. This impressive performance illustrates both the acrobat talents of the mechanics and the driver who seems to have no problem with keeping the jeep moving on just two wheels.

If ext4 was proper from the start and did not truncate some opened files after crash, the amount of lost data would be limited to that written since last flush (say, 30 seconds) and thats it. Thats better than backups can do in this case.
Backups will never be able to completely prevent data loss. They are mainly to prevent a complete disaster in case of hardware failure or gross human error.
In day-to day work with experimental drivers, you should be able to trust your file system to prevent any 'appreciable' amount data from being lost. Thats the ideal we should strive to.

Three Cup Chicken
Three Cup Chicken
Three cup chicken – easy and authentic three cup chicken (san bei ji) recipe that anyone can make at home. So homey, delicious and takes 20 mins to make!!
Three cup chicken (三杯鸡) is one of the most classic Taiwanese recipes, one that I never miss out whenever I eat out at Taiwanese restaurants. I love Taiwanese food—unpretentious, humble, and homey dishes that score high on yum-o-meter.
Taiwanese food is basically Chinese food with local influences, slightly different cooking methods, local adaptations and variations. Many Taiwanese dishes remind me of Chinese-Malaysian food, not due to proximity but the origin of such dishes from Fujian province where many early immigrants settled in Taiwan and Malaysia/Singapore.
The name "three cup chicken" (三杯鸡) comes from the three key ingredients: sesame oil, Chinese rice wine, and soy sauce. "Cups" refer to the equal ratio instead of literal measurement. A true and authentic Taiwanese three cup chicken calls for basil leaves, the soul of the dish that lends an exotic aroma and minty nuance to the taste. Taiwanese also love their "three cup" recipe, for example three cup squid (三杯小卷). Both are equally delectable.
Here is my three cup chicken recipe, adapted to my personal liking. I especially love the sauce with steamed white rice. It's wonderful! If you like Taiwanese recipes, you should also check out this pork and chicken rolls recipe.

Wow…that sounds really fast and yummy!!
What is the baking soda for at the beginning?
I love how easy and tasty this receipe looks. I can't wait to try it. One question, What can i use instead of Shaoxing wine?
So simple and tasty… as usual!!! Have a nice weekend…
In the picture it appears that there is something else in addition to the chicken and the basil in the dish. Did you add water chestnuts or mushrooms or anything else? Looks great, whatever it is.
OMG!!! I wish I had this now and i had dinner not too long ago!! This looks so so good! Will try it soon!
good recipe.i want clay pot recipe.plz
Yours look really delicious! Thanks for the baking soda trick!
I had tried this dish once. Thai basil leave is the key ingredients in this recipe. The aroma of these leaves made the dish so flavourful. Will try your recipe soon. ;)
Wow…. i know already, next time i can try using baking soda to tenderise the chicken. Thanks for your tips. :)
Beautiful photo! This dish sounds heavenly. Did you dissolve the baking soda in water and then marinate the chicken in that liquid? Would love to make this. …Susan
Love the look of this! Great for dinner! yum.
This is one recipe I am looking forward to try. Simple, quick and nutritious. Thanks.
Oh yum! The dark glistening chicken is calling to me! Bookmarked!
this looks fantastic! and best of all, i don't have to go out and get any additional ingredients! i even have th clay pot! can't wait to try it!
Just to clarify a comment that was made here – you recommend Thai Basil for this dish? We have an abundance, so I think I need to try this. How much would you ramp up the proportions of the other ingredients for a whole chicken, cut into its parts?? (We have an abundance of those from our CSA). Love this blog, BTW!
I enjoy this dish too!
Also, there is "three-cup" mushrooms for vegetarians and mushroom-lovers like me ;)
Hi, im wondering what type of basil you use. Is it the Thai basil or the regular ones? I can only get the regular basil leaves at my place. Thanks.
Its look yummy but can i omit Shaoxing wine? Or replace anything other then wine or sake.
Made this for lunch yesterday. It was fabulous. I just used less kecap manis and added chili. Superb.Definitely a keeper.
Cookbooks seem to recommend substituting sherry for Shiaxing.
Looks really very nice!! Can almost smell it here!
Will definitely give this beautiful dish a try this weekend. In fact, I went out to buy a bottle of good Shaoxing wine and a bottle of good quality Dark Sesame Oil (good old Ghee Hiang brand) from the Batu Lancang market (where else but in Penang) this afternoon after reading your recipe.
I love Basil Leaf too. I always cook this famous Thai dish called Kai Pad Bai Ga Prow (Stir fried minced/sliced chicken with basil leaf) using lots of Basil Leaf. It's so cheap at the Batu Lancang market.
Hmmm, let me check if I still have my claypot tucked somewhere in the kitchen cabinets…
I was at the store looking to buy a clay pot, but they only had ceramic pots, is that the same thing?
this looks so good — i'm surprised to see how easy it is to make
Oooo i simply lurve this dish ….. its very fragrant. Is there a difference between the Thai basil leaves and any other basil leaves ?
This looks so good. I'm going to try it out for my family n in laws. :) If I can't get Thai basil, can regular basil do?
Looks great – nice recipe – I have a ton of fresh thai basil, and run out of ideas with what to do with them. I'm just a little nervous about heating the sesame oil, I did a stir fry once and added sesame oil to a very hot pan, and it gave off such powerful fumes and what I thought was a really strong smell. So I thought I amde a mistake and sesame oil was just supposed to be used as a garnish or flavor enhancer at the end of cooking – i.e. not to be heated at high temperatures?
"1 1/2 teablespoon dark sweet soy sauce (Kecap Manis)"
– Nobody spotted this? Any Taiwanese here? :-) This must be what you meant by "adapted to my personal liking"? Usually we use a lot of sugar and I believe there was arguments that sugar is consider one of the three cups. Using Kecap Manis definitely is an interesting twist.
TT – kecap manis is dark sweet soy sauce, it's like Taiwanese dark soy sauce, but sweeter. If you use kecap manis, there is no need to use a lot of sugar because it's sweetened. Hope this make sense.
You wrote "1 1/2 teablespoon dark sweet soy sauce (Kecap Manis)"
Is it teaspoon or tablespoon? Love your website. Thanks.
Wow! this was amazing! such a simple dish yet an elegant flavor. I substituted sweet potato starch for the baking soda. It is a good tenderizer and won't upset your stomach if you fail to wash it all off.
made this dish last week, was SOOOO GOOOOD…. thanks for the recipe. can i use the baking soda strategy for steak and other meats? as long as i wash it (the baking soda) off really well. am i washing off any nutrients? i know that if i don't rinse it well, the food has an ammonia taste to it.
oh i forgot, is thai basil any different than the ordinary garden variety basil? i used regular basil.
Yours look GREAT~! Just made this for dinner~~ Not sure if its because I used chicken wings… there seems to be alot of liquid left in the pot … and i cant get the black "glossiness" ( is there even such a word :P ) …. Mine look more brownish ~~ but definitely will try this again~~!!
Thank you for the recipe~!
is the thai basil leave same as the one in the AMerican Basil leave?
Oh yeah. This was REALLY good. My wife had had a hard day in the salt mines and came home to this. She thanks you. Did exactly as you said, I have two small sandy pots, heated them up good and hot, the chicken caramelized well, the garlic charred and then got soft, I used very fresh young ginger which was superb and tenderized the chicken with baking soda. My wife said, "again please" so I will. Served it with multi-grain wild rice and super fresh haricot vert picked the same day sauteed with shallots, pine nuts, tamarind and XO Sauce. Thank you thank you for such a wonderful site. Whenever I need something truly authentic and tasty I turn to you. jw
Just wanted to finally add a note of how much I love your blog. I've tried so many recipes on your site and they've all worked so well. Just felt guilty taking so much and giving no thanks :)
Oh yes I love your beautiful blog! The recipes are great and the photography superb.
I've just made the Three Cups Chicken. Mine is not as pretty as your photo but it's so quick to make and tastes wonderful, and that's the important thing.
Next time — Salt and Pepper Chicken.
Thanks so much!

Any suggested alternatives? I am desperate to try the recipe!
I tried this recipe and got a double thumbs up from my husband , so I'm passing it on to you. I've also tried the spare ribs with black beans — that was very good too !
Thanks for sharing your recipes !

I can't find kecap manis, what can I use instead?
I made this for dinner last night and it was delicious! Thank you for the recipe.
I am cooking this tonight :)
I made this recipe in January and it has since become my favorite recipe! I make it at least once a week now. Once I couldn't get Thai basil and it just wasn't the same so now I always keep some in my fridge! Thanks so much for sharing!!
The Chicken dish in the picture looks delicious! Now, I noticed that the drumsticks appear very small. Did you chop the drumsticks in half before cooking them?
By the way, I love your site; very informative and yummy recipes!
Thank you very much for such easy cooking recipe. I actually added some slice cili together with the basil and lastly before serve, I put in 1 table spoon of the ShiaoXiang Wine and stir it 1 time evenly so it will have the wine smell. Also I marinated the chicken with all the above seasoning before stir fried :) yummy :)
is the soya sauce light soya sauce or dark?
What can I replace Shaoxing wine or chinese black vinegar with as i am not able to get them in Dubai?
Thank you

I would like to try this recipe. May I know what Thai basil is called in Cantonese/Mandarin?
Thank you.
Thai basil actually smells almost like the italian sweet basil, in chinese, it is called "jiu chen ta" Hope this helps.
I love your blog!! You have helped me learn to cook and I made this dish for lunch. Very tasty and so easy to make. You're a sweetheart.
Tastes just like the one i used to have in china, except that I had to substute Ketcap manis with Brown sugar which worked just fine.

This is such an awesome recipe! I made it tonight for a very quick dinner (didn't have much time to cook because of work today . . . blech!) paired with reheated white rice, and it filled my home with a nice garlicky/gingery smell. The chicken turned out very tender. I can't wait to make it again.

You say to cut the chicken into pieces…if you use drumsticks do you chop them up with the bone on?
I have to cook vegetarian dishes for 25-30 servings. Have used this recipe with 2 kinds fresh mushrooms (large boxes from Costco, quartered), 2 cans of whole button mushrooms, and 3 packets of vegetarian chicken chunks. Sometimes I can't get Thai basil – and it really isn't the same. However, still very good. I love your blog!

Thanks so much for posting your recipe, your photo inspired me to make this but I made a few tweaks. Very simple, easy and tasty to make. Had to substitute Thai basil with chopped spring onion as didn't think that basil used in Italian cooking would be a good replacement. Desperate now to experience the aroma of Thai basil, I can't find it in the shops so I've now decided to grow it myself!
Posted my adapted recipe here http://yumyumpiggysbum.wordpress.com/2011/05/08/hurrah-for-three-cup-chicken-almost/
Hi, this recipe is superb! I tried it and it's perfect.

Hi! Would love to try your three cup chicken recipe, quick question though.. Can't seem to find Thai basil leaves :( Can I use the dried version? And would I use the same amount of dried Thai basil for the recipe? Thank you! :D I recently tried your sesame oil chicken, it was a hit!
This dish is great! But one question: When you say Thai Basil do you mean holy basil or sweet basil?
And which of the two do you use in the Graw Pao and Penang Curry?
Thanks so much!!
it is sweet basil for this chicken dish and for graw pao, you use holy basil. As for Panang curry, here in thailand, they use sweet basil too..

I've been meaning to try this recipe since I saw the pic on Pinterest. I happened to have thai basil at home and I love it! Even my Taiwanese roomies said the flavor was right on! Thank you!
I don't put a big amount of basil, I put HUGE amount of basil in it. Yes it does overpowers the dish but that's the way I like my 3-cup chicken.
And I usually add some dried chillies to give it a spicy kick when I'm not cooking this for the kids. Also I reserve a fraction of toasted sesame oil and Shaoxing wine for finishing, adding them near the end.
Three cup chicken with steamed white rice is a perfect combination, it's my appetizer. Thanks for your recipe and the beautiful pictures.
Hi Bee, i am your new subscriber. glad about it. i found your food blog as i was finding for 3 cup chicken recipe. would like to inquire if marinating porkchop and beef with baking soda also soften the meat?
I made this dish yesterday. I really like the flavor of the chicken. But I didnt like how it contained lots of water. I want to ask you how to control the water from the chicken when I cook. Thank you so much.
You have amazing dishes. But what can I substitute shaoxing wine with. I don't use wine in cooking. Is ordinary dried basil leaves ok? Coz here where I live I don't think there is. Thank you.
Can I use regular sesame oil instead of dark? Will it affect flavor that much? Thanks!
My son and I have made this twice. We found all ingredients at our local Asian-Pacific Market and the wine at the liquor store. We have only had trouble getting Thai Basil — it goes very fast at our market. We used regular basil that time, but it's not the same. Am preparing to make for the third time today. This recipe is outstanding. We serve it with Jasmine or Basmati rice. We followed the recipe pretty much exactly as written, including the baking soda part, which really does make some tender chicken. If you shop at an Asian market in your city, there is usually an employee to help you figure out what you're looking for. Tricky when the labels aren't in English!
I love Chinese dishes and the fact that they try to cook in clay pots as much as possible. Honestly, i think food tastes much better when cooked in clay and i mean unglazed real clay pots, not ceramic ones. There are so many benefits to clay pot cooking, and i found this website which is dedicated to this type of cooking, very helpful when i was in the process of learning about it: miriamseartehncookware DOT com. Now i cook all my food in these pots and love the difference it makes in my life.
Thank you for the recipe. I lived in Taiwan for 3 years
And this was one of my favorite dishes. Please advise what
can be used as a substitute for the wine.
Can baking soda be used to tenderize beef as well?
You only cook the chicken for 5 mins.? That seems short for chicken on the bone.
Is that correct?
Tried this and was great except that mine was so wet, more like braised. Any suggestion?
I can't get Thai Basil. Can I substitute it with sweet Basil?
A 2-inch piece "OLD" ginger??
Outstanding. Did not have Thai basil so used fresh basil from the garden.
This recipe looks very easy and very good, I really want to make it.it is OK if I take the skin off? I really don't know specially because of the baking soda, can I use the baking soda on the meat without the skin? Please advice. Thanks
Are these chicken drumettes?
I have horrible knife skills, so since these are already drumsticks, can I just rub the meat with baking soda and continue from there?

Compact Womens Geometry
It's no secret: Women ride bikes for the same reasons guys do. We ride for that freedom found in the forest; that escape down a smooth path on a sunny day; the peace ushered in by an evening commute. And we, too, want the perfect bike that'll take us there.
Welcome to Devine Designs—our line of bikes that pays tribute to women riders. These aren't men's models painted in pastel. No, at Diamondback, we started from the ground up, considering every aspect of the female cyclist. The collection features bike geometries built for our smaller frames; colors that reflect our tastes in aesthetics; and overall models that speak to our practical notions of comfort and affordability. With Devine Designs, you'll find the same devotion to technology and elegant craftsmanship that's engineered into all of our Diamondbacks—in designs specifically tailored to you. We're confident you'll enjoy the ride: We worked hard to make it Devine.
Because freedom is an experience, it should be pure. At the heart of our women's road line is our Compact Women's Geometry. It brings the dimensions of the frame inward, creating smaller bikes more apt for petite riders. And so we started with a Devine Women's specific custom fully butted 7005 alloy compact geometry frame with a formed top tube and an integrated headtube. BB30 technology offers optimum power transfer and efficiency. All Podium aluminum frames feature drop in headsets and carbon straight blade forks with an alloy steertube. A light, agile frame responds quicker, inspiring confidence in control and giving you that extra burst to get-up-and-go.
We've paired the he Airen 3 with an a smart and compelling spec featuring a Shimano 105 dual control shifters/brake levers, front and rear derailleurs, a Tiagra 10spd cassette and Tektro R530 dual pivot breaks. FSA gets a nod for the CN910 10spd chain and the Omega Compact crankset which features BB30 technology and sports a 50t and a 34t chainring.
Low spoke count (20f/24rr) Equation R wheels offer a quick and lightweight riding experience and are laced to alloy hubs. Accenting each of our women's bikes are crowning components: women-specific DBR Performance saddles, smaller Avenir 200 Series stems and shorter crank arms. We even put narrower Avenir 200 Series handlebars within a comfortable reach. The result is a bike that excites adventure mile after smooth mile.
Body types are different so we offer four sizes: Compact – 42cm, 44cm, 48cm, and 52cm. The Airen 3 is pearl white and blue and is simply… Devine.
Height must be between 56-79in.
Height must be between 142-201cm.
Based on your input...

New Hampshire has most machine guns per capita in the country
Sunday, January 20, 2013
A 1940s-era submachine gun is seen at Riley's Sport Shop in Hooksett on Thursday, Jan. 17.
DOVER — The number of automatic weapons in New Hampshire increased dramatically after 2010, according to federal firearms records, although it remains unclear whether the growth is being driven by civilians, law enforcement or the military.
The number of registered machine guns in New Hampshire spiked 80 percent between the end of 2010 and March 2012, according to the most current data available from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF).
Unlike semi-automatic weapons, machine guns have been subject to federal restrictions for decades. Machine guns are weapons that can operate in a "fully automatic" mode, meaning multiple shots can be fired by simply holding down the trigger.
Semi-automatic weapons — such as the Bushmaster .223 rifle carried by Newtown elementary school shooter Adam Lanza — are limited to firing a single shot each time the trigger is pressed.
It's illegal for civilians in the United States to own any machine gun manufactured after 1986, though several hundred thousand weapons made before that date are still in circulation around the country.
ATF data indicates there were 9,863 registered machine guns in New Hampshire as of last March, up from 5,479 in December 2010.
The figures provided by the ATF could conceivably include new weapons manufactured in New Hampshire for law enforcement or military use. They could also include guns held by local police departments or law enforcement tactical teams.
ATF representatives have declined to release more detailed information from the agency's database of controlled weapons.
"We would not be able to release any information about the individuals," ATF spokeswoman Donna Sellers said, explaining that the information is shielded from public disclosure because it's considered a tax record.
ATF has not responded to a request made under the Freedom of Information Act by Foster's Sunday Citizen on Dec. 31, 2012, seeking more detailed records about machine gun owners.
Firearms dealers in the area say fully automatic weapons are generally owned by collectors these days, in part because of the high prices they fetch, and also because of the regulatory hoops involved in owning one.
Civilians seeking to own machine guns must fill out paperwork for the ATF and satisfy requirements to gather fingerprints and photographs, and to obtain the sign-off of the chief law enforcement officer where they reside.
The documentation is then processed by an ATF examiner — a process that currently lasts a minimum of about five months, according to Evan Nappen, a Concord attorney who specializes in weapons laws.
"There's a lot of paperwork and there's a lot of regulation," Nappen said.
How to buy a machine gun in New Hampshire
Machine guns have been regulated in the United States since as early as 1934, when Congress passed the National Firearms Act to combat "gangster" violence that had increased during prohibition, according to information available from the ATF.
New Hampshire doesn't have any laws that restrict the possession of machine guns or other firearms regulated under the National Firearms Act.
Dealers sound off on machine guns
The owner of Riley's Sports Shop in Hooksett, Ralph Demicco, talks about a 1940s-era submachine gun on Thursday, Jan. 17.
Despite the increase in registered machine guns in the state, dealers who are licensed to exchange the weapons on behalf of clients said they doubt the figure is being driven by civilian sales.
Dover gun-shop owner John Domfort said he's been paying the special tax to transfer restricted weapons for more than two years, and hasn't been involved in any machine gun transactions at his shop, Tactical Defense Solutions.
Domfort said machine gun owners are typically firearms collectors who are drawn to the historical value of the weapons. Customers who own them aren't usually interested in buying or selling their pieces, Domfort said.
"The guys that buy them, they're the same guys that invest in gold," he said.
Penny Dean, a Concord attorney who specializes in gun ownership issues, said the ban on civilian manufacturing has sent prices soaring on some rare weapons, bumping the price of a weapon that would have previously cost $3,500 into the range of $60,000.
Even an automatic weapon on the cheap end of the spectrum, such as an Uzi — a type of smaller submachine gun — will run $10,000 and up, Dean said.
"Typically, these are really good investment vehicles," she said. "A lot of people buy them strictly for investments because you just can't get any more. It's a finite supply, and the price just keeps going up."
There are also three major, high-end auctioneers who sell machine guns in New Hampshire, Dean said.
"They turn through a whole pile of machine guns, and so it's very possible ... that right now the three auction houses just happen to be holding a bunch and are in the process of auctioning them," she said.
At Riley's Sport Shop in Hooksett, only one fully automatic weapon was hanging on the shelves on Thursday. It was a 1940s-era H&R Model 50 "Reising" submachine gun, trimmed in a walnut stock, which was valued at $4,500.
Given the limited supply of fully-automatic weapons manufactured before 1986, machine guns have consistently held their value, Riley's owner Ralph Demicco said last week.
"I have not seen an increase in the interest in machine guns," he said. "It's a pretty stable market."
Lately, customers have been more interested in products being eyed for new regulations, such as semi-automatic weapons, Demicco said.
Riley's was packed on Thursday morning, one day after President Barack Obama unveiled a new package of gun control measures being backed by the White House.
Nappen agreed that buying and selling machine guns is "not a poor man's game." He suspects manufacturing is the primary factor influencing the registration bump in New Hampshire.
Gun makers prevalent in N.H.
Qualified gun manufacturers are still permitted to make new machine guns for sale to government entities, or for export or use as dealer sales samples in gun shops.

Venus factor is a complete fat loss program that is designed by John Barban specifically for women. It's a program that has seemed to understand how the female body works in terms of diet and exercises. The weight loss program focuses on the two most important aspects of female weight loss which are nutrition and exercises.
Even though the key purpose of this workout is to help women lose weight but it goes further in helping a woman find their feminine side and a complete lifestyle change. The reason why this course is very popular is because it focuses on the female metabolism. It has a proven success rate in women of all ages especially those who have gained weight after birth and those who have been struggling with losing weight for years.
These are the main component of the diet which goes for only $47 plus there is an option for a trial package which goes for $9.97. All this components are designed for women who want to lose some pounds, eat right, and get the required support and motivation to complete the workout system which takes 12 weeks.
Check out this Venus Factor Review:
180 pages Diet and Fat Loss Manual
The manual as mentioned is about eating right and exercising that is why there is a comprehensive 180 pages of eBook. The manual by John Barban get into the detail about different diet. Before you can get down exercising one has to know the type of food they need to consume and those to avoid or cut down.
You also get to see the specific meals which are making it hard for you to lose some pounds. The diet starts by promoting the right diet as the first step of fat loss. By reading the manual readers are able to plan for their diet and make changes before they start the workouts. The manual also gets into specific detail of the female body especially on the metabolism and how to maximize the female metabolism for effective burning of fat.
The hormone in focus is Leptin which is the fat burning hormone and it controls ones appetite. The manual seeks to increase the female body sensitivity to this hormone. It basically runs for 12 weeks only and it's comprised to books and videos plus the program is not repetitive so it's hard for one to get bored or addicted. According to research, Barban found that a woman body has twice as much Leptin which makes their bodies less responsive to burning fat. The program at time included the Leptin dietary supplement to help those women who have inadequate hormone.
Other than that the manual has laid down real facts like:
The manual has also the 12 week work out which has been written down step by step for easier understanding. It shows you exercises and techniques that will help you lose some pounds but also tone down your body. Since the manual in in the eBook format readers get direct link to online video if they need referencing.
12 week workout system
This is a workout routine which forms the basis of the program which comprises instructions videos which are easy to follow. The workout exercises have been designed for women and they are divided into 3 phases each taking 4 weeks. These exercises are not demanding since they are only done three times a week. This means that users can be able to set their own workout timetable at the most convenient times.
The intensity level of this exercise increases according to the phases giving time for the female body to adjust. These workout exercises can be done at home but you can also opt to do them at the gym.
What makes this Workout System by John Barban unique is that you do not need expensive or fancy gym equipment. What you need is a small bench and a yoga mat and you are good to go. The video are laid down in an easy to understand way plus the exercise are done in sets with a specific number of repetition and rest times.
Some of the exercises you will find on the Workout system include;
Venus Index Virtual Nutritionist
This is a mobile app designed to calculate the amount of calories your body needs in relation to weight, shoulder circumference, height, and waist. What this app does is require the measurement of the mentioned areas and it calculates how much calories and protein your body needs.
The designer John Barban of this program did extensive research and found that the diet schedule for one woman is different from the other. He understood that each body has different responses to change, different routine exercises and different foods and that is why he tailor-made the program to suit all women through the Venus index. This is the measurement of the body status in terms of height, hip, and waist measurement to get the specific requirement for different female body.
The Venus Index is the crucial deciding factor which determines how much food in terms of calorie and protein a woman needs to get in shape. The manual has given considerable amount of focus on female diet because irregular diet may lead to health issues and weight gain.
The Venus Index is a very useful tool because it ensures that your calorie intake is not interfering with your goal of losing weight and you are able to achieve that bikini body in just 12 weeks. This app is very easy to use plus the instructions on how to use it are available on the web via a short video explanation. When you want more information, read the venus factor reviews at this website.

This is a great resource center where you find interviews and venus factor reviews, recorded audio where women talk about their experiences with this program. This includes challenges and advice to other women in the course.
The Venus Community
This is another resource center that users get for free which is access to a community of women who are going through the same course as you or those who have completed the program successfully. The Venus community has forums and blogs which allows user to interact with others in real time and share their own experiences. This is a great place to for someone who needs moral support or someone who just want to share their everyday journey with the program.
The Venus Community allows Women to get advice from women who have done it plus it's a great place to get answers to some nagging question about health. Having the Venus Community as the part of the course is very important because it makes a difference between completion of the course and failure.
There are tons of things that this diet offers that you won't find on other program and this is what makes the course stands out. Some of these things include:
There lots of benefits that women stand to gain by using the diet program other than the sexy well-toned body women get a complete life transformation. It offer great value for money. The program goes for only $47 plus if you do not get the expected result then there is the money-back guarantee. Other benefits of using the course unlike other course include:

Are you just trolling for fun? Or are you really having that much trouble following the thread of conversation?
It took 4 or 5 years for ZFS to become the default filesystem in Solaris.
btrfs development is going on 6 years now, and no conservative linux distro trusts btrfs enough to make it the default filesystem.
That makes btrfs slower in development than ZFS. And I see no sign that things are speeding up for btrfs. I wonder if btrfs will ever be good enough to use as the default filesystem for a conservative linux distro.

The first bridge to be built anywhere on the 410 mile long Connecticut River was across the narrow Bellow's Falls gorge. Six years later, in 1791, the first canal company in the U.S. was established here to avoid the turbulent bend in the river. Later, in 1850, the arrival of railroads transformed the village into a regional rail hub, and water-powered mills made Bellows Falls one of the nation's largest paper manufacturers in the early 20th century.
Today the downtown district still has some of the look of the 19th century and the feel of the mid 20th. But beneath that look, it's definitely a town that is moving forward.
You'll find locally owned restaurants, shops, and antique and art galleries, including a time-warp hardware store where the old wood floors creak underfoot. There is lots of arts and culture, with coops, galleries and storefronts and exhibits, events and instruction at Main Street Arts.
Nearby residential neighborhoods are rich in Victorian era architecture. The visitors' center, located near the canal, embodies the town's railroad history and contains exhibits and information about the region.
Special events in and around the Bellows Falls (Town of Rockingham) community range from a music festival to Le Tour de Rockingham, a family-oriented bicycle rally.
For more information visit Bellows Falls Downtown Development Alliance, 802-460-2333 or Great Falls Regional Chamber of Commerce, 802-463-4280.

Chane Jaisalmer Ke (Black Chickpeas in Spiced Yoghurt gravy)
I've never been good at planning weekly menus or cooking by my fridge and pantry list for the week. That, like any organized planning, is an art. I've usually done the opposite – stocked up my pantry and fridge with the best intentions of cooking only to discover them eons later, expired and disheveled, and finally into the trash can:(
The last few months have been a whirlwind craze – home repairs, packing, moving, unpacking, cleaning – all in a span of three months and less. And this has forced me to begin to clean up my mess – literally! I've started to create pantry and fridge lists and also discovered a new iPhone app – Menu Planner – that allows you to create daily breakfast, lunch and dinner menus from the input, with links to suggestions and recipes:)…for an app junkie like me, this was a dream come true. Well, its week 2 of me using the app so it must be working.
In any case, one ingredient I had too much of in my freezer and pantry was "kala chana" or also known as black chickpeas or bengal gram. These are what I would call a type of Indian super food, known for their high protein content and also for lowering cholesterol in the bloodstream. I'd obviously bought a lot of this over the months, with the intention of making "chana masala" or "chana salad" etc, which, as you can tell from the recipe list, never really made the cut. But one tip that helped was to boil a few cups and freeze them in freezer bags. This way, I did use them in salads, quick curries etc.
I got this recipe from watching Sanjeev Kapoor's "Khana Khazana". This is also one of his recipes in his recent book "Marwari Cooking". A quick and very healthy dish that can be enjoyed with wheat chapatis or rotis or with hot rice and some salad on the side.
Black Bengal gram (kala chana) – 1 1/2 cups
Yogurt, beaten well with a fork – 1 1/2 cups
Gram flour (besan) – 4 teaspoons
Turmeric powder – 1/4 tablespoons
Salt to taste
Red chilli powder – 1 teaspoon
Coriander powder – 2 teaspoons
Garam masala powder – 1 teaspoon
Green chillies,chopped – 3-4
Pure ghee – 3 tablespoons
Asafoetida – a pinch
Cumin seeds – 1 teaspoon
Fresh coriander leaves,chopped – 2 tablespoons
1. Soak kala chana overnight in four cups of water.
2. When ready to cook, drain the liquid, add four cups of water and pressure cook till done. Make sure to reserve the water you cooked the chana in, as this has all the nutrients from the boiled chana.
3. Take the chanas in a bowl and mash them lightly.
4. Meanwhile, in a separate bowl mix yogurt, gram flour, turmeric powder, salt, red chilli powder, coriander powder, garam masala powder and whisk well so that no lumps form. Add the chopped green chillies and mix. Add one cup of the reserved liquid and mix.
5. Take a heavy bottomed pan, and heat the ghee. Add asafoetida, cumin seeds. When they begin to crackle, add the yogurt mixture and stir.
6. Add the boiled chana, and add some more of the reserved liquid. Bring it to a boil and cook for five minutes. Garnish with coriander leaves and serve hot.

Mike Lombardi faces the sports radio firing squad
Blog Entry:
May 02, 2013 10:33 AM | Author: KEVIN KLEPS
Wednesday marked the official start of
the Browns' unique radio rights deal
with WKNR-AM, 850, and WKRK-FM, 92.3.
And what better way to ring in the new partnership than have general manager Michael Lombardi on the two sports talk stations?
If you want to listen to the better interview,
check out Lombardi's appearance on The Really Big Show
yesterday morning with ESPN Cleveland hosts Tony Rizzo and Aaron Goldhammer.
If you're looking for a laugh, I suggest
Lombardi's 13-minute interview with Kevin Kiley and Chuck Booms
on The Fan.
In the latter appearance, Kiley and Booms weren't shy about expressing their disappointment in the Browns' draft, and Lombardi, to his credit, handled it well.
He also channeled his inner Bill Belichick by turning a tough question into a non-answer — only Lombardi's version of Belichick is much less grumpy and much more long-winded.
A few of my favorite answers from the interview:
When Booms asked Lombardi about not drafting a quarterback later in the draft, the response went in more directions than Josh Cribbs' wildest kickoff return.
Lombardi: "I think everything is about value in the draft. I think you always have to look at whatever decision you make with the pick you're picking. It's about the value of what the pick brings and what you can do with it and move forward. You're sitting there with the card in, and it's not about filling in a depth chart.
(Yes, this is part of the same answer) "You quote Belichick, and certainly he's a major influence in a lot of people's draft processes, and having worked with him, I think it's about building a team. It's not collecting talent. I think that's been Joe's philosophy going back to when he was with the Philadelphia Eagles.
(Still going) So every decision you make is about trying to build the right pieces to the right team and how it all fits together. It's not just about, 'Let's add this guy, let's add that guy,' because it may not fit. And having been on the other side of it with the media, not being privy to the information internally, you don't understand that element of it.
(And going) "And I can see the fans' point of view — they want to add players — but there is an element of building a team."
It's also about giving your boss — in Lombardi's case, Browns president Joe Banner — multiple shoutouts. Here was another long-winded draft answer from Lombardi that fondly recalled Banner's time with the Eagles:
"It's assets. We've collected two assets (by acquiring future picks from the Steelers and Colts) going into next year's draft that we feel like will give us an enhancement going into the draft. I think if you make every decision based on the next week, you're gonna be shortsighted. You have to look at it through a larger lens and look at it from a broader sense.
(Here's to you, Mr. Banner) "You see teams that have done this in the past, whether it's been the Baltimore Ravens or New England Patriots or the San Francisco 49ers. If you go over and look at their drafts and see what they've done — Joe did this in Philadelphia when he was there — that's the way to do it. I think there's value in picking a player, in enhancing your picks for future years.
(He's almost done) "It's not just running a football team. It's running a business. If you make decisions based on today and tomorrow, it can dramatically impact the future."
My favorite part of the interview was when Booms — again, as if every NFL team's draft consists mostly of the players they worked out privately — brings up the list of prospects the Browns met with prior to the draft.
Lombardi's response: "You're making an assumption. I mean, that's so unfair. You're saying we liked all these guys, so the premise of your question really doesn't come into play."
More Lombardi on Booms' statement that the Browns' last four picks were players who weren't on the list of pre-draft workouts and meet and greets: "Really, you're reading between the lines, and I don't think that's fair. Look, you can agree with what we did or what we didn't do. I think that's certainly a job for morning radio. It's certainly a debate, but the reality is you can't conclude the decisions that we made were based on what you believe to be factual, based on non-facts."
Wait, what?
I think Lombardi was trying to say that just because the Browns met with a player before the draft, it doesn't mean they were interested in drafting him. They were doing their due diligence.
If you missed the interview, you will also enjoy the segment near the end in which Kiley says, "Mike, let me finish the question." (Maybe he was tired of hearing about the Eagles and Patriots.)
When it was over, Kiley told Lombardi, "We took it easy on you the first time."
Laughs followed.
Somewhere in New England, Belichick probably forced himself to smile, too.
When it comes to saying nothing, Lombardi has learned from the best.
'Politics' got best of Waiters
The 2013 NBA Rookie of the Year race was over not long after it began.
Portland point guard Damian Lillard, the No. 6 overall pick in 2012, was the unanimous selection in the voting announced Wednesday.
Cavs guard Dion Waiters was fifth, receiving two second-place votes and 15 third-place nods on the 121 ballots, and he thought he should have fared better in the voting. In a response to a fan on Twitter yesterday, Waiters said,
"The league is all about politics."
In another reply, he said, "Lol its politics." Both fans tweeted that Waiters' place in the voting was a "joke."
The real comedy: The list of Rookie of the Year candidates other than Lillard and maybe Hornets big man Anthony Davis, the first overall pick last year.
Davis finished second in the voting after averaging 13.5 points, 8.2 rebounds, 1.8 blocks and 1.2 steals in 64 games.
Waiters probably deserved to finish third after averaging 14.7 points, 3.0 assists, 2.4 rebounds and 1.0 steal in 61 contests. But Wizards guard Bradley Beal — the No. 3 overall pick in 2012, and the third-placer finisher — and Pistons center Andre Drummond, who finished fourth in the voting, had comparable seasons to Waiters.
Beal played in fewer games (56) than Waiters, averaged fewer points (13.9) and shot similarly bad (41%, compared to Waiters' 41.2%). Beal was a better rebounder (3.8) and averaged fewer assists (2.4).
Drummond, meanwhile, had norms of 7.9 points, 7.6 rebounds, 1.6 blocks and 1.0 steal, but he was the best of the three after the All-Star break (averages of 11.1 points, 8.2 rebounds, 1.2 steals and 1.1 blocks). He also shot 67.1% from the field after the break.
Third, fifth … It doesn't matter.
It can only get better for this rookie class. (At least it better.)

Ugh, this monitor always skews the shirt colors for me. One of my favorite shirts I thought was red and it turned out to be orange, and I grew to love orange just because of the shirt design.
I can't wear black because I have a husky that sheds white, and it is a horrible mess sometimes.
And you don't have to sway me dixon, I've always admired your work and this is no different. I'd buy it on navy if we can push a late fog.

In my head, this actually makes for a pretty cool photograph. But then again, my head thinks a lot of things would be cool until they actually come to fruition...

This is charming. GMV!

Re: The Red Emperor
I think it could be much better if it didn't have the square cropping on the top and sides. Also, it needs a nose...
Almost there.

Congratulations on winning a Best Loser Award!
This is not SPAM.
Winning a BLA does NOT mean this shirt won't print -- I'm hoping it does.
Your one and only gift is this crappy little badge in your shirt thread. Enjoy.
They got a name for the winners in the world. I want a name when I lose.
My ver first BLA!!! Thank you so much, Thatrobert. Thanks for the nomination @wootertim. It's wonderful to receive recognition by the woot community!

Find them? X3 I drew them :3 The birds themselves live in South America :3
I wanted to use gradients for the background, but I can't figure out halftones in Photoshop yet :c So this is all I can offer, but thanks for the vote! ^w^
Thanks to everyone who has voted and commented so far! It's been pretty crazy to see this shirt get so many votes.

Dragonball, imo!
Back to the design at hand, simply amazing. The first purchase I made on this site was your submission for "Robots Save The World". I noticed someone said it would be another shirt to add to their closet of designs by you. I am truly seeing what they meant, anyone would be crazy to not have a closet full of your designs! Great job and keep up the good work!
On a side note, I cried a bit when your daydream science experiment shirt didn't win
Re: Enrage
I agree with above the head is the only part of the design which would make me hesitant to buy this. I still gave a vote, but think about resubing with a dif head.

I guess, I did this back when I was in college. It was just a pen and ink doodle but I've been wanting to do something more with it. I just thought it would place a little better than it has I guess entering late does take it's toll. Thanks for stopping by.
usopp wrote:aw. too bad. this was good
Perhaps a resub with a different name, like 'sketchy tuning', or 'drawing knobs'... I love the design, but it could easily be seen as an old black and white tv screen with tuners! So, not really a copyright issue IMO.
Wow! Thank you so much! If I'm gonna be a loser, I might as well be one of the best
I love your site and your blog, by the way.
*edit is Singularitee yours as well? It seemed like it was*

Kind of like Bart Simpson. Because nobody expects the butterfly...
Hah! I knew there was a cute bunny stigma for some people on this site, but I've always drawn bunnies even before I found Woot, so thats just what I went for this time. I understand the aversion to them so I don't blame you.
Butterflies carrying little red bombs would have also been good
It doesn't fit, but for some reason this put the Stones' song Paint it Black into my head. GMV!

I totally feel better about being wrong knowing I was in good company.
Thanks you three!
