From South Oakland to South AfricaCape Town, Fall 2012
After incessantly triple-checking my luggage to make sure I had everything packed, flying a total of 19 hours over two continents, and saying soul-crushingly sad goodbyes to my family and friends, I finally made it to Cape Town. The first few days were quite an adjustment, with trying to recover from jetlag to attempting to find wifi so that I could alert loved ones that I survived the journey to sitting through the litany of IES-sponsored tours; I've been constantly busy since I got to South Africa.
In only a week I've sat on an ostrich, eaten lamb's head and tried to expand my culinary horizons, ziplined across treetops, played with African children, and stared fruitlessly at the ocean/any body of water for a sign of a shark. Unfortunately I haven't seen any yet but if I haven't gazed upon a Great White by September I'll probably just go into the ocean on a surfboard while bleeding or something.
I pretty much did the exact opposite of what you should do in a foreign country as soon as I got here: I lost my wallet. To those of you reading this who are soon going to embark on a trip to Cape Town: DO NOT LOSE YOUR WALLET. I have zero Rand to my name and have had to beg everyone to lend me money. It's a miserable experience. I had to cancel my card immediately and call my bank so that they could send me a new one, which was an annoying process. My recommendation to you is to constantly make sure you have everything you need on you at all times. Store items in your front pockets or the inside of your jacket so you can constantly feel that they're there. On the positive side, losing my wallet and all forms of identification except for my passport was nice because it made me realize that things really can't get much worse.
I miss home a lot more than I thought I would. Things are different here but still pretty similar to America. I've never been more aware of the fact that I have an accent (not to mention my northern accent, as most people in my program are Southern), so I'm hoping to be able to fake a South African accent soon so I stop getting ripped off when I go out or take a cab.
To all of my friends and family reading this: I miss all of you. Just because I haven't gotten in contact with you all doesn't mean that I don't miss each and every one of you and am not thinking of you all on a daily basis. Everyone from Pitt will be happy to know that Wiz's "Black and Yellow" has made it to South Africa, but by far the most crushing thing I have learned is that the country has never heard "Call Me Maybe". I miss and love you all and hope to talk to you soon. Facebook or email me.

Great 1st blog, Kel. Keep them coming. We miss you too, but you already know that. Take care.
Awesome blog post… I was in Cape Town with IES last semester. Your post brings back memories, for sure.
Although I will say that Call Me Maybe most definitely was a well known song among South Africans. They pick up all American music at the same time we do.
And regarding cabs — one good tip is to just use trial and error until you find a cheap cab driver. I had one driver who would bring me from Rosebank to Long Street for R60, and sometimes even R40 if I was lucky! If you negotiate with them, they will give in.
Once you get debit cards again, I suggest that you keep one with you and one in your safe. I lost mine in the first month but I still had another in my safe so I was ok.
Best of luck! You'll love Cape Town
you're from Pittsburgh too? I am actually heading out to South Africa in January and I'm looking forward to hopefully not losing my wallet!

Sitcom on Justin Bieber's Life May Be Coming to ABC Next Season
Who could they cast to play Justin Bieber on a show about Justin Bieber's upbringing, as produced by Justin Bieber? Talk about pressure.
According to TV Guide, ABC is again developing an as-yet untitled sitcom based on Justin Bieber's life. The Biebs would executive produce the show with his manager, and the plot would follow a future pop star's awkward teenage years with his unorthodox family.
As TV Guide noted, the comedy was first set up at ABC last year but has now been revived for consideration next season. We'll see. What network wouldn't want to tap into Bieber fever while also potentially casting the next big tween sensation? Plus, they'd have to cast a version of Selena Gomez!

Burning fuses
Oinky I'm looking at a wiring diagram and see that the fuse is not in line with your starter---so I'm thinking that that your starter is not involved with your blowing fuses. Of the circuits that are fed downstream from the fuse I suspect that the fan motor circuit is the most likely to be blowing your fuses. Trace your 'hot' wire back from the fan connector to the starter relay looking for a place where it may be grounding to the frame. You might also disconnect the fan at it's connector and run the bike ---if it continues to blow fuses (use 10 amp fuses only) then you can look elsewhere for your problem. It seems to me that if you have a grounded circuit anywhere downline from your starter relay it will present a abnormal drain on the battery which seems to fit the symptoms you describe-----and in that case a new battery will not cure your problem Other circuits fed off the fuse would include your starter button, ignition switch, regulator rectifier (my number two suspect), and your light switch and speedometer. I'm just guessing but think the fan and a blown rectifier in your regulator and the #1 and #2 suspects.
Baha Rat-----thanks for the heads up on "Superplush" I'll check that out.

Hello everyone at Neowin!
A very long time viewer and I have decided to join as I have a question and what to pick your brains (uuuummm Brains!).
Anywho, I have a HTPC at present but it's in a GD06 case with two 3.5" drives and a 2.5" drive. It's big, it's heavy and it moans a lot (now, now I don't mean my Mrs!) and I want to slim it down and get a new model.
I'm looking for something that can do the usual (1080p 3D MKV etc, etc with no stuttering) and also have room for a PCI-E WiFi card and at least 2 3.5" drives.
I've had a look around and I have seen the new Silverstone Milo 4 and I think it might just be the ticket but I'd like your view. Maybe you have a better idea? Maybe you have seen something better?

This Week's Trivia--General Opposition To Bull Fighting
For this week's trivia question, let's look for a man who was not only a President but also who, as one of the nation's most famous generals, saw and oversaw the death of thousands on the battlefield. Which President and general, upon seeing only one bull fight in Mexico, commented, "The sight to me was sickening. I culd not see how human beings could enjoy the sufferings of beasts, and often of men, as they seemed to do on these occasions"?
Was it?
A) General and President George Washington
B) General and Presdient William Henry Harrison
C) General and President Zachary Taylor
D) General and President Ulysses Grant, or
E) General and President Dwight David Eisenhower
For the answer, refer to page 53 of the great new biography from W. H. Brands, The Man Who Saved The Union, Ulysses Grant in War and Peace. While serving in the Mexican War, Grant attended a bull fight "not wishing to leave the country without having witnessed the national sport". That was while politicians and diplomats were wrangling after the United States had won the war (quite the story in itself). "One visit to the arena was enough," Brands writes. Grant, known for not holding human life in sacred regard when it came to Civil War battles such as Shiloh, was not fond of bull fighting.

The trunk is large enough for your child to pack just about anything they could want to take with them when they are going for an overnight trip to grandma's house. The trunk has straps built into it that keep items from being tossed around inside of the trunk during travels.
The hard exterior of the case ensures that items will not be damaged or squished during long trips. The trunk has a strap and wheels to ensure that your little one can be independent and pull the trunk by themselves. The bright pink color ensures that the trunk is easy to identify, if your child uses it to travel on a plane, train, or bus. It weighs less than four pounds so it is light enough for your child to pull it with ease.

NORAD Santa trackers stand by for another big day
- Air Force Lt. Col. David Hanson, of Chicago, takes a phone call from a child in Florida at the Santa Tracking Operations Center at Peterson Air Force Base near Colorado Springs, Colorado in 2010. (AP Photo/Ed Andrieski)
DENVER (AP) - Santa already is piling up big numbers on social networking sites this season, so the volunteer Santa-trackers at NORAD are bracing for tens of thousands of calls and emails when their operations center goes live on Christmas Eve.
"We expect our numbers to be very high this year," said Joyce Creech, project leader for NORAD Tracks Santa at Peterson Air Force Base in Colorado Springs, Colo.
Last year, NORAD Tracks Santa volunteers answered 80,000 phone calls on Christmas Eve, Creech said. They also answered 7,000 emails.
The North American Aerospace Defense Command has been telling anxious children about Santa's whereabouts every year since 1955. That was the year a Colorado Springs newspaper ad invited kids to call Santa on a hotline, but the number had a typo, and dozens of kids wound up talking to the Continental Aerospace Defense Command, NORAD's predecessor.
The officers on duty played along and began sharing reports on Santa's progress. It's now a deep-rooted tradition at NORAD, a joint U.S.-Canada command that monitors the North American skies and seas from a control center at Peterson.
NORAD's Santa updates are just about everywhere - on Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, www.noradsanta.org and television. And this year, there's a new Santa-tracking app for smart phone s, built by visionbox, a Colorado Springs software developer.
It has the Elf Toss, a game similar to Angry Birds.
The app was downloaded more than 234,000 times from Android Market and iTunes App Store by mid-December, Creech said.
NORAD Tracks Santa already has had more than 754,000 "likes" on Facebook this year, compared with 716,000 through Christmas Eve last year. Twitter numbers also are up, with 60,000 followers so far this year, up from 54,000 last season.
The NORAD Tracks Santa website has had more than 2.2 million unique visitors this year, compared with 2 million last year.
The rows of telephones in the operations center are still the heart of the operation. More than 1,200 volunteers answer calls in shifts, checking big-screen computer monitors indicating Santa's location and passing that along to children, many who seem dumbstruck.
"It's just so precious to hear the little sigh or (only) breathing on the other end, and you realize how nervous they are," Creech said.
"But we've had really heart-wrenching stories as well," she said. "`Can you ask Santa to heal my brother of cancer?' Or, `Can I get a new pair of shoes? I don't have any."'
Calls like that make the volunteers feel fortunate to have what they do, she said.
NORAD Tracks Santa has added 20 phones this year, bringing the total to 120, and four more laptops, for a total of 23. The phones will be answered from 4 a.m. Mountain Time on Christmas Eve until 3 a.m. Christmas Day.
Creech said the rising numbers are probably a reflection of how much people look forward to the season, and how much of a tradition calling NORAD has become for many families.
"You can tell that it really brings people joy, and especially kids," she said.

She is very sensitive about her ears and don't like them being touch. Will rear when trying to put on a bridle. I have the bit hanging once I get the bridle on I swing the bit around. It takes 2 of use to keep her under control and twisting her nose and prying her mouth open to get the bit in. Finally we tied her head so she could'nt move an inch. (to prevent rearing) It was a 45 minute struggle. I was even giving her sugar cubes to try and get her mouth open. We got it in. It was terrible.
What am I going wrong, is it going to get better?
This is the same rolling pony in my other thread.
The lady we bought her from said she was broke to ride. I guess that's my fault. My daughter couldn't ride at all at the time and I'm too big to test her out. We have had her about 2 months and my daughter has been taking riding lessons. Making lots of progress. She has been on her back, mostly me leading her around with a halter. She WILL NOT be riding this pony alone anytime soon. If I can't get her to respond to a bit I might have to sell her and my daughter would hate that.
My soon to be daughter-in-law (who is a horse trainer) and pregnant, offers do advise but to keep working with her.

Cazenga — The head of the Arts Animation Centre (Animar't) of Cazenga district, Orlando Domingos, announced on Tuesday in Luanda, that a Angolan group will travel to Maputo, Mozambique's capital, in the second quarter of this year, in order to exchange experience.
Speaking to the press on the sidelines of the signing ceremony of a memorandum of cultural exchange, he explained that the trip is part of the programme for strengthening cooperation at the theatre.
Without specifying the name of the Angolan group that should go to Maputo, he considered it an important initiative as it will also come to Angola a Mozambican group with the same objective.
He stressed that the aim is to continue the project based on cultural exchange between groups of Angola and Mozambique, to make their presentations at the edge of theatre festivals.
The Mozambique group is in Angola to attend the second festival of theatre, at the invitation of the group Elinga.

Except that this was the Washington County Sheriff's Office and not Multnomah.
Additionally, paramilitary organization is defined the following way:
"A paramilitary is a force whose function and organization are similar to those of a professional military, but which is not considered part of a state's formal armed forces.[1]
The term paramilitary is subjective, depending on what is considered similar to a military force, and what status a force is considered to have. The nature of paramilitary forces therefore varies greatly according to the speaker and the context.
Since Police Officer's wear uniforms and have a rank structure I don't think anyone woud bother to argue that Police are not "paramilitary." That is not a bad word, nor does it mean "military."
mozambra, the first ammendment has time, place and manner restrictions so, no, marching without permit in the middle of a city street during rush hour traffic is NOT protected speach.
Actually JJJ, all of us (with a few exceptions) are allowed to carry a firearm when "away from work." Reference the second amendment :)

Riley, Flores-Haro came out of his house and confronted the Police who identified themselves as such. He then responded by saying he was going back into the house to get his gun and was true to his word. He came back out and fired off a round as the Officers were returning fire. Can't fix stupid.
There is little doubt in my mind that this will be reversed by the supreme court. This is certainly not "bedrock uncontroversial Fourth Amendment law" as lysenko suggests. You have a small child in a place where drugs are being used and/or sold. You also have prior knowledge of Ms. Shirk's history. There is absolute urgency to check the welfare of this child and there is no time to go through the process of obtaining a warrant which can take hours.
I'm sure they're all tolerant liberals like you.
@ SenileFool
Theres way too many people that pss off bogus info as fact and people swallow it hook, line and sinker. It always amazes me in the age of the internet that people still can't put the work in to make sure they have correct info. Thank you.
salz7, if you mean to say that both parties are responsible for increasing the deficit, you are right. Theres plenty of criticism to go around. Its not only the Republicans that seem blind to the seemingly endless spending of their party, its also the Democrats. President Obama is the grand poobad of deficit spenders having not only spent more than any other President in American history but has done more spending in 3 years than the next biggest spender (George W.) did in 8. Maybe everyone should open their eyes.
sscamaro, I think you're figures are a bit off. Our deficit is more than 100% of GDP and growing.
Rather than endorse your own idea (because no one else will) why don't you just become a Police Officer? I suspect if you did, we would either be reading about your funeral (because placing a flower in the barrel of a gun doesn't prevent the bad guy from killing you) or criticising you for your excessive use of force because you decided you had as much a right to live as the bad guy.
@ jconnor
Of course he doesn't. Innuendo is more effective than data.
Troopers get no revenue from traffic tickets. Any proceeds from citations written to circuit court go to the state general fund. Yes, the State Police are a general fund agency but if you think they see a dime from it you're dreaming. OSP is usually the first on the chopping block. City and Sheriff traffic teams that write tickets into municipal or justice courts do actually receive a cut of the tickets they write though.

Why would cops apparently so concerned over "keeping their jobs" ruthlessly execute someone? They're willing to lie to keep their jobs but they can't muster the self control not to randomly execute innocent people? This is not an agency with a history of Officer involved shootings. In fact this is the first one in the 35 year history of the department despite boardering Portland and Gresham. That means nothing to you though. I'd say thats a pretty damn good record. Most people woud agree with that. Instead you instantly accuse the Officer's of lying and clear the suspects mother. I'd say she has a pretty damn good reason to lie. Million$ of reasons. Heres something else to consider. If you interview 5 different people who saw exactly the same thing, how many different accounts do you think you'll get? If you guessed 5, you'd be correct.
4everoregon, I hope you don't find my posts boring. I have noticed plenty of people here being critical of the occupiers but there is an equal number supporters. People like jeanettejs77 who liken the "Tea Party" to the KKK. You didn't condemn that did you? If you honestly share that opinion then you are the true zealot. As I stated before, I have no affiliation with Occupy or the Tea Party but have considerable experience working with both groups. There are great people in both groups. The Occupy movement however has had a great deal of difficulty keeping the criminal behavior in check and it seems to me you would rather blame it on infiltrators than admit the crimes could possibly have been done by a radical left wingers. While working the Tea Party rallies EVERYONE was polite and thanked me for being there. At the occupy rallies, this occured much less and more often than not I was verbally attacked (sometimes when they thought I couldn't hear them,) antagonized and on several occasions assaulted (although minor.) If these were right wing infiltrators, they sure had a great disguise. The occupiers were intentionally provocative while jamming their cameras in my face in hopes of getting youtube gold for the propaganda machine. They were wanting to show how badly they were being treated. They were intentionally trying to provoke things. Many later admitted as much after thanking me for being "so cool about it." You need to quit focusing on how people feel about criminal acts commited by people in these protests and be more concerned with the real issues. Your posts don't do it.
4everoregon, you are somehow under the impression that left wingers are less harmful than right wingers. Maybe you should read your posts before you hit the send key. I think its funny how you defend them by saying they are not personal attacks but rather, attacks on the "ignorant masses." Ignorant masses meaning anyone who doesn't share your point of view. I can't be too critical their because I have made my fare share of personal attacks. Just because someone doesn't agree with everything you say does not mean they are defending the criminal bankers on wall street. I have yet to hear anyone from either side of the argument do that. although the left likes to accuse people of it. Most "1%ers" are not criminals. Most are in fact small business owners, many of whom would tell you that they sure don't feel like "1%ers." The system is broken but there is no one willing to compromise. Its all or nothing for everyone because everyone is becoming so fanatical. The right half of the argument says that the overwhelming majority of taxes is paid by the 1% and that half the country pays nothing. This is true. The left says there is plenty of room for increased taxes on the rich. After all, how much money do you need? This is also true. The left likes to talk about fairness. What is fair about the rich continuously paying more to support the poor? What is fair about the poor receiving handouts at the expense of the rich and having the same vote as those being soaked? There are many families, many generations deep, who choose to live this way. Its not glamorous but its easy. Can't blame them. They are expanding in record numbers. What is fair about creating a majority who can vote for the authority to take from the minority? That is whats occuring. Whats wrong with having a little skin in the game? If you have something at stake, you might not be as quick to pull the trigger on higher taxes for the other guy. There needs to be an exit strategy for the perpetually poor. What would be wrong with placing conditions such as continued education or drug testing on people choosing to accept tax payer dollars? Whats wrong with making it an uncomfortable lifestyle? I know the lifestyle would be uncomfortable to you and me but for many, its all they know and while they would love to have more, its not as unbearable as you think. This problem could be solved with compromise but that won't happen with rigid ideologs. Your fiery posts do nothing but create greater divides. There is no debate, there is only condescension and intolerance.
With the limited amount of information in this report, does it honestly sound to you as if they had done something wrong? He reportedly came out of his room "slashing with a knife." All the while wearing a kevalr vest. Do you question Mr. Ruiz's motivation at all?
4everoregon, if you have any doubt that Chris Bergsten is a liberal and would die before voting for a Republican, you're not as bright as you clearly think you are. While the occupy movement has a few conservatives (including Tea Partiers) in their ranks, they are by and large a left wing movement. There is no doubt about that. I think his post was meant to draw attention to some of the hipocracy of the left. And by the way, I've read your posts. You're as big a "wingnut" as anyone I've ever seen. You might actually be king of the "wingnuts." Sleep well my king.
@ 4everoregon
You start your post with an insult and then say they have "nothing relevant to say to people who have a brain, other than name calling." Too funny

Sun Care, Sunscreen, and New Labeling Requirements
On June 18th, sun care products will undergo new labeling requirements. Olay has created a helpful infographic about some of the upcoming changes to sunscreen labeling as well as sun care, and the amount of concise, easy-to-understand information on it was great to see in my inbox this morning. This is not an advertorial, which means Temptalia receives no compensation for posting this. Though it contains call-outs to the brand, it does have excellent non-brand specific information that is very useful and digestible.
From the FDA: The final regulations, which become effective June 18, 2012, establish a standard test for over-the-counter (sold without a prescription) sunscreen products that will determine which products are allowed to be labeled as "Broad Spectrum."
However, to avert a shortage of sunscreen in the upcoming months, FDA has extended the compliance dates for testing and labeling until Dec. 17, 2012 for most over-the-counter sunscreen products.

Cookies for breakfast? You bet! I'm not talking about a certain boxed cereal with fluffy little bits that leave you hungry an hour later, I'm talking about chewy, crunchy go anywhere granola cookies with all the stuff you want and none of the stuff you don't. These easy granola cookies can be gluten free if you use certified gluten free oats (oats do not naturally contain gluten, but can be cross contaminated). They are also casein free (when the oats are soaked with vinegar) and soy free. [Read more…]
Emergency Cooking – 10 Ways to Have a Hot Meal When the Power Goes Out
There are a number of different options for heating food without electricity. In this post we'll cover everything from simple heating to large scale cooking for emergency situations. Before we get started: For those who are new to preparedness, using an emergency generator to power an electric stove or microwave is not a good allocation of resources. Stoves and microwaves use a lot of power in a short amount of time. It's much more practical to use other means to heat/cook your food.
- Always be careful to use options inside or outside as appropriate. Don't end up asphyxiated from cooking fuel fumes or burn your house down while trying to make a hot meal.
- Make sure you have cooking equipment suitable for your heating option of choice.
- Practice with your method(s) of choice until you can reliably produce a meal. Don't use it for the first time in an emergency (except for the "heat themselves" food items). [Read more…]
The Best Pancakes …er… Waffles Ever! – Homemade Whole Wheat Waffles
Looking for a recipe for homemade whole wheat waffles that's easy, tasty and kid-friendly? You need to try this! It's great for using up a bit of leftover yogurt, buttermilk or milk kefir, too.
I've been making Katie from Kitchen Stewardship's Soaked 100% Whole Grain Pancakes for over a year now, and they are some of the best pancakes we've ever eaten. The cakes are moist and filling, and one batch makes enough pancakes for our family of four for at least two breakfasts. I often freeze extras and reheat them in the toaster oven as needed.
Last Friday night I put my batter to soak for pancakes on Saturday. When morning rolled around and I told the boys I was planning pancakes, my youngest said he really wanted waffles. Nothing ventured, nothing gained, so I tried out the pancake batter in the waffle iron. Success! Crispy on the outside, tender on the inside, these waffles were wonderful with organic butter and local maple syrup. Sometimes I make cherry-berry sauce, too.
Here's the recipe (please visit Kitchen Stewardship to see how Katie makes these up as pancakes for camping):
Homemade Whole Wheat Waffles
3 cups whole wheat pastry flour*
1 c. buttermilk or milk or yogurt or milk kefir**
1 c. water
¼ c. apple cider vinegar
Whisk together flour, milk product, water, and vinegar in a medium bowl (ceramic or glass preferred, no metal, plastic okay in a pinch – I use my 8 cup Pyrex measuring bowl) and leave on the counter, covered, to soak 12-24 hours.
Just before cooking, add:
¼ cup melted coconut oil
4 lightly beaten eggs
3 tsp. baking powder
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp salt
I placed about one cup of batter in my waffle iron, closed, flipped and cooked for about 3 1/2 minutes.
*Katie says: This recipe works with all regular whole wheat, is much better with half whole wheat/half pastry flour, and is best with all pastry flour. Pastry flour is more expensive, so I like to go 1/2 and 1/2 most of the time. Laurie says: I use freshly ground soft white wheat flour most of the time and it gives these a great texture.
**Because you're adding vinegar to the milk, it's a "fake" buttermilk of sorts and hasn't had a problem sitting on my counter overnight. Raw milk would be safest for this though if you choose to use milk. You can also use the dairy choice in place of the water for even richer pancakes. I have tried all three options, and I think the milk is the best one, but I often use homemade yogurt.
Makes about 6 1/2 waffles using 1 cup batter each. If you'd prefer to make pancakes, use 1/4 cup to 1/2 batter per pancake. Both are delicious.
Cherry-Berry Sauce
- 4 cups mixed fruit, mashed, or frozen and thawed – I usually use cherries and raspberries
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch, non-GMO
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla or almond extract
Place fruit in medium heavy bottomed sauce pan. Make sure there is juice from thawing or mashing the fruit. In a small bowl, mix together sugar and cornstarch. Mix into fruit (mixing sugar and cornstarch before adding will prevent lumps). Heat until bubbling, stirring regularly. Cook gently until thickened (mixture should turn glossy). Remove from heat and stir in extract. Serve warm (will thicken as it cools). You can add more sweetener or less as you like.
My family liked these better than the standard white flour waffle recipe that came with the waffle iron. We also thought they were better than the soaked flour waffle recipe from Nourishing Traditions. (I had problems with those burning on the outside while being doughy on the inside.)
I bought my Presto FlipSide Belgian Waffle Maker about a year and half ago, upgrading from a small rectangular iron I used to have, and I'm glad to have made the investment. If you've even ordered Belgian waffles at a restaurant, you know they charge an arm and a leg for them. It paid for itself in a couple of breakfasts (plus, of course, I know what's in my waffles). My waffles cook much more uniformly, and any spills are much easier to clean up. Yes, it has a non-stick surface, but I don't rub anything against the surface and it stays at a uniform temperature, so the coating is much less likely to come off than in a frying pan. The iron has a timer, which helps avoid burnt waffles. Waffles are still a bit of a treat, but they are so much easier to make with the right equipment (and the BEST WAFFLE RECIPE EVER ;-).
My sister brought her granddaughters to visit last summer, and they agreed, these were the best waffles they had ever tasted (even better than mom's – shhhh…).

How to Cook a Beef Tongue, With Photos
I DID IT! (But I had some help.) I finally cooked up the tongue we got with our quarter of grassfed beef. This is one of my "catch up" posts – one where I took pictures but didn't post when it actually happened. You can see it was bright and green outside in the photos.
My sister Lois visited last fall, and what are big sisters for if not to help you eat strange things. That said, we dragged the tongue out of the freezer. Mmmmmmmm….
Lois gave it a good washing and held it up for a nice shot.
Cooking it couldn't be much simpler. The tongue gets a lot of work, so it's all muscle (no fat – mo marbling). Mom always boiled it when we were kids, so that's what we did, too. We put it in a kettle of water with about an inch of water over the top, and added plenty of aromatics – garlic scapes, onions, bay leaves, salt, pepper, and some celery.
Cover and simmer for 2-3 hours (I think we did 2 1/2). Once finished cooking, place the tongue in an ice water bath to chill it enough to handle.
Once you can handle the tongue, peel off the skin.
This will give you an excellent piece of lean meat.
Slice thinly and serve with your choice of condiments. My brother Rich suggests horseradish.
And that's it! It was very tender and delicious, and the boys couldn't tell it wasn't "regular" roast. (Personally, I found it to be more tender than the roast we had cooked the day before.)
So, what unusual meats have you enjoyed recently? I'd love to hear from you.

A Day in the Slow Life
Annette at Sustainable Eats (a truly inspiring woman with very interesting blog) tagged me in a meme that asks participants to share a day in their slow lives. I have to say, from what I've read so far, most of the "slow life" folks have pretty busy days.
In an effort to get this posted in time for Simple Lives Thursday, I'm going to try to recollect this past Monday. The days sometimes seem to run together. There's always so much I'd like to do, and then there's what can reasonably be accomplished (at least by me, an individual who requires sleep).
6:00 am-ish – Hubby gets up to shower and head out for two hour drive to work. Since having to take a job out of town last year, he now comes home on weekends and stays in a small condo near work during the week. It's been tough being apart, but for now a lot of things are still up in the air and we're hoping to hang on to our current home (our "dream house" built on 35 acres in the country back in 2005). I say a little prayer each day that eventually he'll be able to find a job back in the area.
While hubby is in the shower, I gather the trash and recyclables for him to drop at the end of the driveway on his way out (we have a really long driveway), and pack some food stuffs for him to take to the condo (this week it's homemade gluten free vanilla cookies).
6:30 – Hubby is gone. Eat a tablespoon of coconut oil. Put on exercise shoes and do about a half hour of aerobics followed by 15 minutes or so of stretching.
|Minipig (left) and Snap
7:15 – Feed inside and outside cats. Put away dishes left to dry from previous night. I usually do dishes/run the dishwasher in the evening and let things air dry overnight. Went downstairs to go out to the garden to grab some kale for breakfast (we have a walk out basement and the basement patio door is the closest one to the garden), got sidetracked cleaning up the basement. I have an eight foot folding table down there that was covered with four types of shell beans, melons, seed heads, tomato ties, clippers…uh…well, it was a mess. We're talking with some homeschool friends about blowing things up down there instead, so I had to make room. Melons to the counter (there's a kitchenette), beans upstairs to be shelled, seed heads upstairs, tie bands to the laundry room, clippers to their storage bin, etc. Grab a gallon bucket of walnuts from where they're curing in the greenhouse and take them upstairs to shell, too. Go back down and outside to finally grab the kale I'd forgotten earlier.
8:15 – Dice up kale and throw it in a pan with some organic butter and the last of the cherry tomatoes. Usually I have tomatoes that store a little later, but I got hit with late blight at the end of the season and my remaining tomatoes did not keep as well as usual. Once the kale is tender, shove veggies to the side of the pan and throw in a small duck egg from the neighbors. Cover and cook a few minutes for sunny side up, then dump the whole mess on a plate and add a little bruschetta for extra kick. Boot up the computer and munch breakfast with a side of Toffee Apple kombucha (kombucha w/ apple cider and a little English Toffee liquid stevia).
8:45 – Boys awake (yes, they are night owls). Get them some breakfast (bagel with cream cheese and coconut oil (not homemade), peanut butter and strawberry rhubarb jelly sandwich (all homemade), apple slices on the side. Let them play a while and munch breakfast, have them sort the laundry. Get the laundry going, pay some bills, catch up on email, do some research.
10:00 – Get the boys started on bookwork for the day. We homeschool, but we keep a pretty relaxed schedule. Dunc starts working on adding and subtracting decimals, August on algebra. Hang up the laundry on the line and start the next load. It's a sunny day, so even though it's cooler the laundry should be almost dry by evening. We've got a porch that runs along the south side of our home and acts as an overhang for the passive solar aspect of the home, and I've got my laundry line right on the porch so it's very convenient.
11:00am – The boys shift to handwriting, grammar, and vocabulary. I hang up the second load of laundry, and help out as needed. I put some milk kefir and chia seeds in the Vitamix to soak in preparation of making a green smoothie for lunch. Start another batch of milk kefir.
Noon – Lunch time. The boys put on a special about earthquakes to watch while they munch. I make up some toasted cheese sandwiches and tomato soup for them (they're not big on green smoothies, but I keep trying). For myself, I raid the fridge and freezer – green beans, cucumbers, dried coconut, nutritional yeast, Superior Reds powder, blueberries, strawberries, banana, peach (last four all frozen) – everything goes into the Vitamix. Turn up the power and I've got a smoothie. I pair this up with a few slices of raw cheese and Nuthins, and that's lunch.
1:00 pm – Science time. We're studying geology right now. We read a section about ocean vents, and then watch some cool footage on YouTube. I love the internet.
2:00 – The weather is nice, so we've got to make some progress in the garden today. The boys work on pulling the last of the tomato trellis parts, and I work on cleaning the pathways around my center wagon wheel shaped permanent beds. The herbs and weeds went a little nuts this year with all the rain, and the garden got rather overgrown. The center-most herb bed is still a thicket, but at least now the paths are walkable. We start putting down cardboard, old newspaper and bird food bags to block the weeds, covered by wheat straw. We manage to get about half of the paths done. The bean plants are clipped back, a few more stray dry beans are found.
This year we had Calypso, Bumblebee, Tiger Eye for dried beans, and Emerite pole beans for green beans. I brace up the cilantro plants, hoping that more of the seeds will ripen yet this season. We've had a light frost, but the plants survived. I grab a dill weed seed head, and take that inside to save, too. We have cabbage, kale, and Swiss chard ready to harvest. We've been digging up carrots and sunchokes as we need them, but will dig up the remainder of the carrots before the ground freezes. We eat some sunchokes, but the patch produces way more than we care to eat now. The parsnips will stay in the ground over winter. There's still celery and parsley, too. I'll dig those up and move them into the greenhouse soon. The green beans are still alive, and I grab about a gallon of beans to eat.
|Kefir brewing
5:00 pm – We head inside. The boys crack some walnuts and grab the laundry off the line while I cook supper (and eat a tablespoon of coconut oil). Tonight's special is modified breakfast leftovers – tomorrow I cook "for real" again. We've got diced and reheated breakfast sausage from the little meat place down the road with scrambled duck eggs from the neighbors and a side of the green beans I picked earlier. The boys are drinking local apple cider and I've got some heavily fermented raspberry lemonade water kefir. This bottle was forgotten in the basement fridge for about a month and has a heck of a head on it. Thus far I prefer my water kefir flavored with citrus (lemon-lime, raspberry lemonade). The boys will drink root beer flavored (I currently use extract, but did recently buy some roots to experiment with). I want to experiment with hibiscus and other herbs, too. That's what winters are for.
|Nutcracker boys
6:00 – Sneak in a dry brush and shower (with hot/cold rinses at the end – I'm working on detoxing). I've got some lovely vanilla mint soap I made with a friend, and I use coconut oil to clean my face. Sort laundry, do the dishes, tackle the rest of the stacked up mound of paperwork (more bill paying, balance bank statement), more email, visit with friends. The boys like to play online games. We are all in one room together, so I can keep tabs on what they're up to.
9:00 pm – Head the boys off to their showers and bedtime prep. Somewhere between 9:30 and 10, we all pile into my bed and read some history. This week we're covering the 1900's, and that night was about President Roosevelt.
10 – ish – The boys head off to their beds and I get a little reading done. I'm working my way through a new whole foods cookbook, but I've been a little disappointed. Way too much soy, no soaking or sprouting of grains (although it is gluten free, which is why I bought it in the first place), no soaking their nuts to reduce phytates, and heavy use of spices (I know they're good for you, but our palates are just not into overly spiced food). Fat use is minimal – I like my fats, and they like me. Lots of use of fresh fruits and veggies that are not available in my area for much of the year. Very little fermenting – a couple of sauerkraut recipes. Sigh. I guess I just keep assembling recipes off the internet. A big thanks to all my real food blogger friends who share their awesome recipes (and the problems they've run into :-).
10:30 or so – I use some coconut oil I keep by the bed to coat my feet and hands. They get so dry in the cooler months. Another goal I have for this fall is to make a couple more dry skin salves to try out. I want to make one with burdock root (we have a TON of it around here) and one with hibiscus flowers (I found a recipe online and the flowers were on sale recently through Frontier). Lights out.
And now I'm tagging Pamela of Seeds of Nutrition, Paula of The Chicken Coop (see, this is what you two get for chatting with me regularly on Facebook) and YOU! I'd love to read all of your "day in the slow life" posts in this Thursday's Simple Lives. Please consider it – we all learn so much from each other.

When the kings of wrestling arrive. Shit will go down.
Didnt you see the promo she cut after she won her title though "THIS IS MY FIRST DIVAS CHAMPIONSHIP EVAH!"
Out of all the women on that roster she seems to garner the biggest reaction. Thats what i should have said.
Shes the john cena of the divas apparently. She seems to be the only women who is over with the fans so having her as champ does make sense but I agree with everything posted. I wanna see natalya...

i have a question regarding mrp vs protein powder with fruit. i have been sticking to myoplex in water for a couple days now and its ok but one problem i have is i always have one for meal 1 and im suppose to have one again around meal 3. but i always dont want it and eat a sandwhich. now i know its ok that i eat a lean sandwhich but i really want to stick to a pattern in my meals and not just go by feel. now this morning i had a banana post workout in my myoplex. it was great! i loved it! now i wanted to drink another one but i knew i could eat the myoplex & the banana again. so i just eat a sandwhich. so what i was thinking is do u think it would be bad for my goals(weight loss/fat loss) is i replaced the myoplex with protein powder & fruit? my thinking is myoplex is just a protein blend with maltodextrin, which is a very high GI carb source. on the other hand the protein powder would be a blend with a banana(some frutose) but is what like half the GI of the maltodextrin? on the other side again(i have thought about it through all angles) because protein only lowers a high GI carbs and if its a lower GI carb it adds to the overall GI of that meal. what then should i stick to? they both would be about the same macronutrients(40-44g protein,20-25g carbs,1-2g fat.)

Ikea Furniture Shopping Tips From A Former Employee
I wanted to write a post about Ikea, but I couldn't decide what to write, and I didn't had enough information, but today searching for materials for this blog I've found some tips that can be useful for those who want a new piece of furniture, and Ikea is the store from where they will purchase the furniture. These tips come from a former IKEA worker.
- IKEA lives on add-on sales, and where they make their money. The stores are designed to get you though every department, but there are shortcuts. Use them liberally; ask for the fastest way to where you need to go. There's a ton of cheap stuff along the way for you to grab, and it adds up fast. Before you check out, evaluate what's in your cart and if you really need/ want it and you'll save a good chunk of cash. Also, in the first showroom area, avoid what's called the 'open the wallet' area- tons of small, cool, cheap stuff you can grab- it gets you in the buying mood, and 'opens your wallet'. Everything there is duplicated later on, so if you see something really cool, write it down and look for it later.
- The 30-day return policy is (sort of) a lie. IKEA will generally return stuff like wal-mart (but should not be confused with that evil place), so keep receipts if at all possible. And if anything is wrong with the product, take it apart and bring it backw. Be sure to check the boxes for damage before you check out.
- IKEA sells tons of cheap crap, but the higher priced stuff is well worth the money, lasts for a long time and usually carries a warranty.
If you want to find out more tips before buying something from IKEA continue reading on Consumerist.

Do Ikea employees get drug tested when they are hired or do they just do random? I figured they might not even have drug test being a European company…
I didn't heard IKEA to make drug tests, only if you have problems after you work maybe.
I was finally hired by the Ikea in Draper, UT. and they drug test with a saliva drug test. Once there sure there gonna hire you. The funny thing is I take Methadone, Klonapin, and a type of adderall. and they didn,t blink a eye at hiring me.They didn,t even ask for my prescriptions. I think they just care about the illegal drugs, Cannabis, Coke, Heroin, Ect.
Screw Ikea! They hire a bunch of people and have them work for a few weeks. Then they lay em off because they hire to many people. After that they lower your hours until your below 20, so you'll quit. Just to be cheap and avoid all the money that they should be paying for lost wages, because we thought we had a job and quit our old ones. (That way they don't have to pay out to the unemployment department, because you quit and they didn't lay you off!
I am smitten by the way you covered this topic. It is not often I come across a website with absorbing articles like yours. I will make a note of your feed to keep up to date with your incoming updates.Just brilliant and do continue up the solid work.
Astounding man! A lot of your stuff is really Brilliant.

Oven Maintenance?
My woodfired oven is 7 years old and it has an inner shell of refractory cement. On close inspection the cement inside seems to be pitted and wafer-thin, small pieces flaking off.
Is this normal and is there maintenance required on the cement, particularly given the age of the oven? It cooks fine and I can't see any major structural problems with it but would be keen to know about the long term care of the oven...
Comments appreciated.
Re: Oven Maintenance?
Without inspecting the oven to get a good look at what has happened, I'd be inclined to paint the inside with a mixture of equal parts white portland cement, kaolin (white refractory clay), lime,and fine sand. Fire the oven up so that the whole of the dome is white. Wait a day or two then mist the surface with water spray and mix up your brew to paint like consistency and paint it on. Give it another mist or two over the next 24 Hrs to help the stuff go hard then fire again about a week later.
Re: Oven Maintenance?
Thanks David - it doesn't look that bad actually, but I have some pics available which I will post shortly to give a better idea of the pitting/flaking.
I was really just wondering if it is necessary to perform regular maintenance on WFOs. Didn't want to damage it through neglect!!

Throughout this article, we will be displaying several benchmarks comparing Fedora Core 5 Test 3 against the previous Fedora Core 5 Test 2, an updated version of Fedora Core 4, and finally the stock version of Fedora Core 4 released on June 13, 2005. In the benchmarks, the above listed system specifications were used. For the updated Fedora Core 4 trials, we used the latest official Linux kernel (2.6.15-1.1831_FC4), X.Org (6.8.2-37), and other updates available from Fedora's official servers. In Fedora Core 5 Test 2, we simply used the stock installation as well as with Fedora Core 5 Test 3, and in these two runs, we did not perform any updates from any stable or Rawhide servers. The benchmarks we are running today are primarily CPU centric, and upon the official launch of Fedora Core 5 next month we will likely deliver a great deal of additional benchmarks in all areas from GNOME performance to native gaming benchmarks. Our set of tests today consisted of Gzip compression timing, LAME compilation timing. LAME encoding, FreeBench, RAMspeed, and Opstone Sparse-Vector Scalar Product.

The Z-Accelerator is an intense x-ray source located at Sandia National Laboratory. On a typical shot, 20 MA of current passes through a cylindrical array of wires over tens of nanoseconds. The result is the release of 2 MJ of low-energy x-rays at approximately 200 TW. The wires are mostly vaporized in this time, but some wire fragments remain. We have developed a model for the deformation of these wires as they accelerate towards the center of the device. While the shot is generally over 200 nanoseconds, the model only covers times on the order of 1-4 nanoseconds, as it is a continuum model.The model begins with a 2-D finite element model that determines the forces and magnetic fields the titanium wires experience early in a typical shot. The magnetic field around the wires reaches a maximum of 210 Tesla when the current is a maximum. ANSYS provides a force per unit length that is applied to the wire over time.The forces that are determined in ANSYS are used in a separate computer code that solves the equations of motion for the wires. The code solves the 1-D wave equation with a periodic forcing function, using only the early portions of a cycle to approximate a monotonically increasing load. As the wire is displaced from its initial position, the tension should increase as the length of the wire increases. An incremental model is used to update the tension as the wire is displaced, effectively linearizing an inherently nonlinear problem. Results will be described that show the wires' behavior as a function of the initial tension applied to the wire.

ROCKFORD- Firefighters received the call around 5 P.M. in the 800 block of Albert Avenue. Neighbors say they saw fire coming from the kitchen of the home and they quickly called 911. They also report there's smoke damage inside of the home.
"I thought he was in there and I happened to look out my window and I said 'oh his car is gone so he's okay,'" explained neighbor Deanna Allan.
The Rock River Chapter of the American Red Cross is now assisting the residents who live where the fire took place.
"A resident needed Red Cross assistance and when we get a call like that we respond and make sure that the resident has a safe place to stay," said Red Cross Volunteer Jan Anderson.

Last Wednesday I talked vaguely about some changes going on in my life. They are work related and it's going to be fine. In fact, I really think once it's all said and done, it's going to be great and I'll thrive. I'm going to be doing the same thing (probably more of it) but with a new team, new manager and new physical office location.
No matter how good it can be, change? Still sucks.
We had a communications retreat Thursday facilitated by the HR department. You know HR departments, always with the research based justification of your feelings.
Waiting for us at our assigned seats was this chart:
And after sufficiently rolling my eyes, I realized all of this made sense. I went through the same kinds of things when I gave birth to my son, and that was a good change. And look how it's turned out!
Check it:
Stage 1: You're fearful of the change. You can't picture yourself in this new role. You're paralyzed. Work and life almost comes to a halt.
Stage 2: You become resentful of the change and skeptical that it's the right thing or that it will ever become normal again. Life goes on, but hesitantly.
Stage 3: You're anxious of the changes happening around you and confused how you fit in or how you can deal with the change. Life is happening, but you're not very good at it.
DANGER ZONE: You dont' stop singing "Danger Zone".
Stage 4: You begin to see that this change could be a good thing. They use the word "anticipation" but to me that has some negative connotations, so I would add "eager". You start thinking creatively and seeing yourself in the new role.
Stage 5: You start feeling more confident and productive.
Stage 5.5: You're probably alseep by now because this post has bored you to tears (or you're still singing Danger Zone in your head.)
Stage 6: You have integrated into your new change and you're focused. You've come to terms with this change; you're at peace.
Who among us Mamas hasn't been paralyzed with fear holding our newborn? Skeptical that it'll ever get better? Eager to learn and grow with your baby? Filled with joy and contentment as you roll around on the floor tickling a laughing baby?
It's normal. It's natural. It will pass.
If you see a yellow light, do you slow down or do you speed up? It's the same way with stages of change. We all move through the stages of change at different speeds. Sometimes you fly through, sometimes you linger. Neither is right, neither is wrong.
Do you know how comforting this was to me? There on paper in red, yellow and green was confirmation that I wasn't ungrateful, unkind or beyond hope. I embraced my place in stage 1 and knew that I'd eventually move on. It might take time, but I'd get there.
The HR rep gave us a quote I've heard a thousand times: "You can't choose what happens, but you can choose how you react to it," and it's never made more sense to me. Yes, yes indeed. I have a job. I have a job I love, doing what I love. I will still work in close proximity to the people I work with now, and in a similar capacity. Really, not much is change except for my desk and manager.
We decided, collectively, to laugh so we won't cry by doing some arts and crafts Tuesday afternoon. We cut out representations of ourselves and placed them where we are currently on the stages of change wheel. When we move forward, we change our mini-mes. If we move back, we move our little people back.
Here is mine:
Cut from this picture of me holding the bottle of wine my fabulous cube neighbor bought for me for my weekend wine drinking.
I think I'll be ok.
Have you experience the stages of change? When was the last time you had a good ol' fashioned HR course?

London, UK (PRWEB) October 04, 2012
"When it comes to keeping all systems up and running, cabling problems may be more threatening to a stable IT environment than many companies may think," commented Mike Belletty at Low Cost Cabling. According to IBM, 70% of all network downtime can be the result of cabling problems. "Companies should look again at their cabling environment," added Mike "because any downtime can create havoc for most companies." An Infomatics study found that downtime averages 140 hours a year on average. "If one considers the cost of lost productivity, downtime costs can be substantial," not to mention the impact on customers," continued Mike.
Low Cost Cabling just released a special report "Common Network Mistakes That Can Cost Thousands in Lost Productivity" The report provides a checklist to avoid hidden cabling problems that could bring one or more systems down. Many companies, including those in East London's Tech City area, are reviewing their cable infrastructure to prevent problems they may have been unaware of. In addition to the report, Low Cost Cabling provides a free trouble-shooting audit. The cabling audit provides a written cabling analysis isolating cabling problems that should be immediately addressed, according to the company.

Spelling more trouble for Bollywood actor Salman Khan, a Mumbai court Thursday directed that he should be tried for a more serious charge of culpable homicide not amounting to murder, and not death by negligence in the 2002 hit-and-run case.
The provision - section 304 of the Indian Penal Code - attracts a maximum jail sentence of 10 years. The Bandra magistrate also committed the case to the sessions court for trial.
Presently, Salman, 47, is being tried under section 304 A - causing death by negligence, which attracts maximum jail term of two years.
In view of the graver charges against him, the actor would be required to appear before the sessions court where the trial is expected to start Feb 11.
On the night of Sep 28, 2002, Khan's Toyota Land Crusier, allegedly driven by him, rammed into a bakery in suburban Bandra, killing one pavement dweller sleeping outside and injuring four others.
The trial in the case started before the Bandra Magistrate Court in 2006.
The actor is planning to challenge the development in the Bombay High Court, according to sources close to Salman.

Dolgopolov who?
Unorthodox Ukraine stands between Murray-Nadal showdown
Also see
Skysports.com's Elliot Ball sheds some light on Andy Murray's quarter-final opponent as the British hope bids to end his grand slam duck at the Australian Open.
With a surname that rolls off the tongue slower than John Isner's court coverage, Alexandr Dolgopolov is an unfashionable character in the tennis world, at least for the time being anyway.
Indeed, the Alice-band-wearing 22-year-old is likely a complete unknown to many who follow the grand slams alone.
His quarter-final appearance Down Under represents his best performance in a major by a country-mile and Murray is widely expected to come through their last eight fixture unscathed.
But Dolgopolov, appearing for the first time at Melbourne Park, takes on the British number one on Wednesday boasting a pair of impressive scalps under his belt ahead of the midweek encounter.
Giant Killing
Ukraine's finest saw off unseeded duo Mikhail Kukushkin and Benjamin Becker in the first two rounds before his giant-killing campaign in Australia began.
Jo Wilfried-Tsonga, the world number 13, was first to fall to Dolgopolov's unorthodox artistry as the man from Kiev exacted revenge for his second round exit at Wimbledon last year with a five-set success.
The match at the All England Club in 2010 also went the distance and it appears the six foot right-hander has the appetite for lengthy encounters after taking out fourth seed Robin Soderling.
This scribe will admit he winced when the Swede sailed out of the first slam of the season, not least because this scribe had backed him handsomely - and in hindsight foolishly - to take the title.
But credit must go to Soderling's conqueror, who stood tallest during their fourth-round tussle against an opponent who had not dropped a set before Monday's contest.
Dolgopolov, who at 46 in the world is now the lowest ranked player left in the draw, wrong-footed his superiorly seeded adversary with a dangerous array of spins and ultimately got into the head of the twice French Open finalist.
It would be farfetched for me to suggest that Murray is going to need to acquire mental training akin to Cillian Murphy's character in the 2010 film Inception to keep the Ukrainian at bay.
But the tenacious Scot is never far away from a paddy on court and the number five seed will need to keep his cool on what will be a swelteringly-hot Rod Laver Arena on Wednesday.
With the winner of the all-Spanish clash between Rafael Nadal and David Ferrer in store in the semi-finals, Murray must continue in his rampage through the tournament which saw 11th seed Jurgen Meltzer become the latest straight-sets victim.
The British number one, like Soderling, has been serene so far in Australia but he will need to be on top of his game to stop the surprise story of this year's event adding another big-name casualty to his ever-growing resume.

Jamie Matthews says...
lets be serious here, dolgopolov is not going to win this match. murray has too much experience for him, the british media don't hype murray up, but if they do it may be because he's one of the best players in the world and is expected to be at the business end of the tournaments he enters. He will win in straight sets again, no doubt.
Posted 19:00 25th January 2011
John May says...
Casper: Seems strange that you based your prediction on watching Dolgopolov, have you been watching Andy at all? He hasn't lost a set and only lost 3 games in one set all championships. Yes Dolgopolov should not be underrated, but he has been winning in 5 sets and yes, playing above his reputation. But, you need to put your feet on the ground here. Too many 5 setters and now up against one of the top four players in the world (in my opinion) is too far for him - Murray in 3 sets possibly 4.

I agree with your coments on the tennis wonderkid Dolgopolov. I find it amazing that so many of the British experts have already put Murray into the semi finals, suggesting that it will be a walk in the park for him to beat Dolgopolov. I have been watching this player with interest over the last few years, and he is an amazing player with many solid and sometimes Federer like shot making talents. Andy Murray will have to be on his very best game to beat this player. Keep the Murray hype going british tennis experts It wont win him the match. Dolgopolov to win in 4 sets.
