Ricky Hatton comeback set for approval by boxing officials
Former two-weight world champion Ricky Hatton's comeback has moved closer after he appeared before boxing officials to ask for his licence back.
Hatton, 33, attended a British Boxing Board of Control (BBBoC) meeting in Cardiff on Wednesday and is set to hold a news conference on Friday.
General secretary Robert Smith told BBC Sport: "His licence will be granted pending the completion of medicals.
"He spoke well, looks fit and he wants to have one more hurrah."
Hatton, nicknamed 'The Hitman', has not fought since suffering a second-round knockout by Manny Pacquiao in May 2009.
Ricky Hatton's career
- Born Stockport, 6 Oct 1978
- Turns pro in 1997
- 21 fights unbeaten and becomes British light-welterweight champion in 2000
- Wins WBU light-welterweight title in 2001
- Stops IBF light-welterweight champion Kostya Tszyu in Manchester in 2005
- Points victory over Luis Collazo in 2006 sees him become WBA welterweight champion
- Awarded an MBE but loses first fight in December 2007 - knocked out by Floyd Mayweather Jr
- Beats Juan Lazcano and Paulie Malignaggi in 2008 but knocked out by Manny Pacquiao in May 2009
The Manchester-based former light-welterweight and welterweight champion formally retired last year with a record of 45 wins and two defeats and now runs his own promotions company.
In 2010, Hatton was stripped of his licence to box by the BBBoC after allegations of cocaine usage.
"He looks very well, everything seems to be in order and he's sorted himself out," Smith said.
"From what he was saying, he seems very settled with his family. He has already had some of the medicals and we are making sure he's on track."
Hatton dominated the light-welterweight division and his most notable win at that weight came against IBF champion Kostya Tszyu in 2005.
The following year, Hatton defeated Puerto Rican Luis Collazo to take the WBA world welterweight title and followed that victory by beating Juan Urango to reclaim his IBF light-welterweight title.
He lost to American five-division world champion Floyd Mayweather in 2007 and suffered a comprehensive beating by Pacquiao in his final fight three years ago.
Hatton, who frequently ballooned in weight between bouts, has lost three stone this year and is tipped to return to action with a fight in November.
He stopped Paulie Malignaggi in 11 rounds in his penultimate fight in 2008, since when the American has become the WBA welterweight champion.
Hatton's former promoter Frank Warren believes the comeback is a mistake.
"I believe he's had a good career and he should reflect on that," said Warren.
"No-one should be encouraging him to return and I just hope it doesn't wind up being a big disappointment for him."
But former world champion Barry McGuigan has told the BBC that Hatton can win a world title again.
"There's every chance we'll see 90% of the Ricky Hatton we saw a few years back and that will be good enough to beat someone like Paulie Malignaggi," McGuigan said.

Makes me laugh when suggestions of rematches with Mayweather and Pacquiao are mentioned. Do you really think either of those guys would have any interest in Hatton? Leave it out.

@da_happy_londoner. You have obviously never been a boxing fan or been near those that love the sport. It is a sport that can do so much good in the world through dedication, discipline and down right fun.
Please, if you have to waste your time commenting on things you care so little about then at least make them informative, interesting or at least funny. I hate pitying people but i do pity you.

Good luck for Ricky, you have given me a lot of joy watching your fights. Allways gave it his all in the ring, only got beat by the 2 best boxers of this era. At least he had the bottle to fight pac man unlike mayweather. So what if he makes good money on a come back, boxers risks there lifes every time they go in the ring. Think he is has enough in him to beat khan.

I know where you comin from guys, but give the guy a break. I mean he lost to pacman and money mayweather which at the time people couldn't decide who was the best lb 4 lb. (clearly always has been drug free MONEYTIME). Hes not miles past his boxing age. So as for his comeback, as long as he puts in the hard work needed and believes in him self with the right trainer. Anything can happen

big hatton fan but looking at the big picture there is only one big money fight there for him and the same for his oponnent with his last few fights being dire ALL BRITSH CLASH HATTON V KHAN only fight worth seeing young v old and could not call it either what what use think! ?

You cannot get knocked out the way Hatton did with Pacquiao and expect to be the same fighter again. If this is what he chooses then I really hope he wins titles again, he's a great and I'll support him, but I think he'll find the training hard and it won't be long before a younger Hatton or Pacquiao turns up on the scene.

can't mention what hatton did when he retired! ok!
Ricky hatton boxing again ..is like gazza drinking again!
if he gets brain damaged ..would you be helping him!
wasn't what hatton did ..public knowledge?
seems like ...cover ups are back in fashion!
Comment number 148. Posted by WingNuton 13 Sept 2012 21:08
He is a king of the ring but will be knocked over if he fights any real class.
Comment number 147. Posted by rapidringsroadon 13 Sept 2012 20:58
The only fighter I can think of recently to make a successful comeback was Leonard against Hagler and that was a one off. Ricky should call it a day and stick with promoting,it's safer.
Comment number 146. Posted by Edward_de_Boneheadon 13 Sept 2012 20:48
Career earnings..Fair enough...But lets break that down a touch...A hefty whack will go to the tax man, followed by his management, trainers, promoters, hangers on etc....I bet you he is skint. Hence make a half hearted comeback. Box a load of second raters, way down the card whilst waiting for a big pay day to come around. Sad

what a joke
Hatton was a puppet boxer just like Khann the pair should fight eachother be a great theatre show.
They go up against REAL boxers and fail on first hurdle.
id fight the pair of them for free in a boxing match.
no need to fight for free I will pay to watch!!

139.. Hatton has £40m in the bank...Says who? No one with a 5% of that would need to box. Too many boxers make comebacks, only to regret it for the rest of their lifes. I hope Ricky is not one of them. He should slip away to enjoy his £40 million!!!!!!!!
Comment number 140. Posted by paddy1234on 13 Sept 2012 19:59
I personally can't wait to watch a Ricky Hatton fight again. Stop worrying about why he is doing it and look forward to again watching a true British boxing great.
Comment number 139. Posted by matton 13 Sept 2012 19:40
Ricky Hatton has around 40 million quid in the bank, so if he chooses to fight again, he's doing it for all the right reasons. If he shows some discipline and hunger (not hunger for beer and pies) and if he could get a decent trainer like Robert McCracken, then I think he has a great chance. If his fitness is there the punch resistance will be there too. He's value for money, never in a bad fight!

The Indianapolis Colts have acquired fullback Stanley Havili in a trade with Philadelphia in exchange for defensive end Clifton Geathers. The 6-foot, 245-pound Havili gives the Colts their first true fullback in years and should help the new offense under first-year coordinator Pep Hamilton. Havili was Philadelphia's seventh-round draft pick in 2011 and had six rushes for 22 yards and one TD in 15 games with the Eagles. Geathers had five tackles and his first career sack with Indy last season after being promoted from the practice squad to the active roster Oct. 9. Indy also says Jeff Linkenbach, a restricted free agent, signed his qualifying offer. He has played in all 48 regular-season games since the Colts signed him in 2010.

Minecraft - the new Herobrine?
Posted in the Video Games Forum
"The grumpy old Topix veteran"
Since: Sep 09
#1 Mar 15, 2012
I was playing Minecraft sometime during a night in December last year. I was really tired, I had been awake for 37 hours. Before I started playing Minecraft I had been listening to heavy metal music, but I forgot to lower the volume when I started playing Minecraft. I was standing on a wooden platform in the sea, and there was a fence on it. The sea was VERY deep, and there was no open underwater cave beneath the wooden platform. I'm not sure if it was daytime or night time in Minecraft, so that I can't answer. Anyway, I was standing on the edge of the platform while expanding the wooden platform. I was gonna build a hotel on it. I had my back turned to the fence when I suddenly heard a snapping sound (like the sound of a dog snapping, not barking). I'm not really 100% sure anymore if it was the same snapping sound as the creepers have because it's 4 months ago. I turned around and behind the fence I saw a mob/monster with a mix or red/white body color. I can't exactly remember what it looked like. I saw it for a half second then it disappeared in white smoke (same smoke as when TNT blows up). This was in Minecraft version 1.8.1, singleplayer mode and I have no mods installed. I had tried to install mods earlier, but all of them fucked up the game (black screen) so I had to delete everything and reinstall the game. I immediately searched on Google for "Minecraft mobs list" which brought me to this site:
I didn't find it, so I went back to Google and searched for "Minecraft red mob", "Minecraft demon", "Minecraft devil", "Minecraft red dragon" but I didn't find it. A few days later I decided to try to find it again. That time I succeeded. Here's what it looks like:
Now that is even more weird because there is no demon pigman in the game, but it can maybe be added by a mod or something, I don't know. I've told this to all my friends who play Minecraft but most of them just say that it was because I was so tired that my brain was fucking with me. But I don't really believe that. It was so real, it even startled me when I heard the snapping sound. Please believe me, I'm not that kind of guy who tries to create fake rumors and such. By the way, I didn't even know about Herobrine before this happened. I went to my friend's chat and he told me it might have been Herobrine. I found an image of Herobrine on Google but he looks like a normal human except that Herobrine doesn't have eyes, just a white spot where his eyes should be. So it couldn't have been Herobrine. Anyone else who has seen this demon pigman (or whatever I should name it) while playing Minecraft?
#2 Mar 31, 2012
i saw him too! and it was longer than the other guy! i attacked him and he spawned like 10 creepers and they killed me. my house was lost because of where i spawned. i found it 3 days later, and guess who was there? u guessed it- the 'demon pigman.' then, i got the CRAZIEST idea. i used commands and typed spawn demonpigman and it didn't work. then i tried spawn demonpig and i THOUGHT itt didn't work, but i turned around and there he was. he killed me, and i never bothered to spawn or witness him again.
ps. 3 days later, i came to my house and saw herobrine in there. he just turned around and dissapeared. then, the sound that the 'demon pigman' made when i hit him, was randomly played after herobrine's dissapearance.
#3 Mar 31, 2012
also, when i was makeing a creeper statue, i placed the last block and it grumbled. i was in the ather, and it was in creative mode. and the statue turned into a boss and i died.
#4 Apr 2, 2012
new evedence has come to life! the demon pigman is stated in this one website and it says,'rare sightings' and 'barley found' and 'rarer than herobrine' and stuff like that. i was on 1.8.1 for minecraft, too, and i saw him again while i was making a house. its so weird. it haunts me. its like it wants my player for some reason.

Yeah, but I did NOT use a mod. I have tried to install mods and I can't even do that without getting a black screen Minecraft. So I gave up on trying to install mods. What I saw might have been a glitched pigman, because there WAS rain that night, possibly thunder too. But that still doesn't explain how he just popped out of nowhere and then disappeared 1 second later.

Im am sorry, but about that "ZombiePigManDemon" Picture you linked to us was poorly dawned. If that was one of herobrine's mods it would have to have more detail in it and look more "legit."

PRLog - Dec. 16, 2012 - EL SEGUNDO, Calif. -- In hosting its second annual "12 Days of Finance" competition, which lets the American public vote on their favorite personal finance expert of the year, Go Banking Rates officially unveils the final contestant in the running for the bragging rights to be the most popular personal finance expert of 2012, Dave Ramsey.
Dave Ramsey
Currently, the infamous Ramsey leads the competition with about 50 percent of the American population supporting his claim as 2012's best personal finance guru, with last year's "12 Days of Finance" winner, Robert Kiyosaki, fighting to keep his title with about 45 percent of the votes. Also competing in the poll are Suze Orman, David Bach, Ramit Sethi, Clark Howard, J.D. Roth, Jean Chatsky, Philip Taylor, Farnoosh Torabi, Ric Edelman, and Liz Weston.
No finance expert list is complete without acclaimed financial counseling specialist, Dave Ramsey. He is most widely known for his Christian-based finance advice given through The Dave Ramsey Show, a nationally-syndicated radio segment which reaches millions of listeners eager for advice on their personal finance dilemmas.
Since The Dave Ramsey Show presents an ongoing stream of Dave Ramsey's financial advice, those encumbered with debt can look to Dave's bestselling book The Total Money Makeover, for a details account of this infamous get-out-of-debt "baby steps," which include:
1. Saving $1,000 as an emergency fund
2. Using the "debt snowball" (smallest to largest debt) to eliminate existing debt
3. Saving enough to sustain expenses for 3-6 months
4. Investing 15 percent of household income into Roth IRAs and pre-tax retirement accounts
5. Paying into a college fund for children
6. Paying off your mortgage early
7. Building wealth and giving back to others
In his book The Total Money Makeover, Dave says, "We buy things we don't need with money we don't have to impress people we don't like."

Software Developer
Sweden - Last active: 1 day ago - Tests: 11

I am a software developer with experience from not only multiple major languages such as C#, C and Java but also several minor projects in other languages. I have developed websites using plain HTML as well as pages generated by PHP and content management systems such as Drupal. I perform work that first of all needs to meet my own quality standards, but I can also adapt to follow various organization-specific guidelines.

Want something well translated for a fair price? Then I'm your guy! I translate from English to Swedish and from Swedish to English. I'm a native Swede, but I've been here and there in this world and I've never had any problems with my English. The first time I went outside Sweden by myself was when I where 13 years old. I went to stay in the UK for two weeks with a family that my mother knew from both business and friendship. The family had one child, one year older than me. I met him, his family and friends. And no one, except for me, spoke Swedish. After a few days I started thinking and even dreaming in English instead of my native tongue, 13 years old. Even today when I'm sitting alone on the subway, I find myself thinking, having fictional dialogues and conversations in English rather than Swedish. English is so natural to me that I'm bold enough to call it my second mothers tongue. I look forward to hear from you! All the best, Hercules ____________________ Vill du ha något väl översatt för ett rimligt pris? Då är det mig du vill ha! Jag översätter både från engelska till svenska och tvärt om. Jag är född i Sverige, men jag har varit här och var i världen och jag har aldrig haft något problem med min engelska. Första gången jag var utomlands själv var när jag va 13 år gammal. Jag stannade i England under två veckor hos en familj som min mamma kände både genom arbete och vänskap. I familjen fanns det ett barn som var ett år äldre än mig. Jag träffade honom, hans familj och hans vänner. Och ingen, utom jag, kunde svenska. Efter några dagar så började jag tänka och till och med drömma på engelska, 13 år gammal. Även idag så kommer jag på mig själv med att tänka, ha dialoger och konversationer på engelska hellre än svenska. Engelska känns så naturligt för mig att jag helt enkelt kallar det mitt andra modersmål. Jag ser fram emot att vara i kontakt med er. Ha det bra, Hercules

|9 September 1974
Willemstad, Netherlands Antilles
(Now Curaçao)
|Political party
|Movement for the Future
Gerrit Fransisco Schotte (born 9 September 1974) is a politician from Curaçao, and the current leader of the Movementu Futuro Kòrsou (MFK). In the Curaçao general election of August 27, 2010, the MFK became the second largest party with 5 seats in the Island Council. MFK formed an island government together with Pueblo Soberano and Partido MAN on September 4.[1] This coalition became the first Cabinet of Curaçao when the Netherlands Antilles was dismantled on October 10, 2010. Schotte at that point became the first Prime Minister of Curaçao.[2]
Schotte was the first Prime Minister and Minister of General Affairs of the new country of Curaçao, which became autonomous in October 2010. He is one of the youngest persons in modern history to assume the office of Prime Minister. On September 29, 2012, Schotte was succeeded by Stanley Betrian as interim Prime Minister after his resignation.
Political activity[edit]
Schotte first gained political experience as an advisor to the political party Frente Obrero (FOL). He became more active in politics when he, with a former member of the Curaçao Island Council, Rignald Lak, founded the political movement Movementu Patriotiko Kòrsou (MPK) in 2005. He was appointed as Commissioner of Tourism and Economic Affairs (February – December 2006) in the Curaçao Island Council for MPK.[3]
Schotte stood for election in the Island Council elections of April 2007 as candidate number seven for the political party MAN. He received 2,370 preference votes. At the age of 32, he was one of the youngest Island Council members.[3] In the parliamentary election of January 2010, Schotte received 9,313 votes as candidate number five on the Lista di Kambi- an election slate with a combination of the political parties MAN, Niun Paso Atras (NPA) and Forsa Kòrsou (FK). Schotte received the highest number of votes for a candidate not a party leader in any election in the Netherlands Antilles. Overall, he had the third largest share of the votes in the entire election.
On 9 July 2010, Schotte founded Movementu Futuro Kòrsou (MFK). MFK received five of the 21 seats in the island council of Curaçao in the 2010 Curaçao general election, which became the Estates of Curaçao on 10 October 2010 upon the dissolution of the Netherlands Antilles.
Country Curaçao[edit]
On 3 September 2010, the parties MFK, Pueblo Soberano (PS) and MAN decided to form a coalition government. On 16 September 2010, the Governor of the Netherlands Antilles appointed Schotte - as formateur for the incoming government of Curaçao per 10 October 2010. Schotte became prime-minister of the government in a 9-minister cabinet.
The Cabinet-Schotte was installed on 10 October 2010:[4]
|Prime Minister
|Gerrit Schotte
|10 October 2010
|Minister of Finance
|George Jamaloodin
|10 October 2010

After Schotte offered the resignation of his cabinet to governor Frits Goedgedrag on August 3, 2012 parliament was dissolved. Until the elections parliament remains in function however, and after a majority in parliament requested the governor to form an interim cabinet until the elections, the governor appointed Eduard Mendes de Gouveia as informer who investigated the possibilities to form such an interim cabinet with a majority in parliament.[5] On his advice, acting governor Van der Pluijm-Vrede (Goedgedrag was abroad for medical treatment)[6] accepted Schotte's resignation which he offered in August, and appointed and swore in Betrian. Schotte however calls this a coup d'etat and initially refused to leave his post.[7][8] A few days later, however, he left the government building and said to plan to prepare for the upcoming elections.[9]
Schotte is suspected by many of mafia ties, money laundering and misuse of public funds. On Tuesday May 20, 2014 Schotte and his girlfriend Cicely van der Dijs were arrested by the Landsrecherche of Curacao. The arrests are related to an investigation called "Babel". The two suspects were arrested on the suspicion of more than one count of forgery and money laundering.
Personal life[edit]
Schotte was born on the island of Curaçao on 9 September 1974, the son of Hendrik Schotte, a teacher, and Maria Ruiz. He did not complete his high school, but gained some entrepreneurial and management skills instead. He founded "The Shoppers", a purchasing and import office, (1995-2000), "Bad BoyzToyz", a paintball store, and "Food4U Delivery Service" (2000-2002). He later became the general manager of the Lido Hotel Resort & Casino N.V. (2001 to 2005).

Getting pregnant after miscarriage
I had a miscarriage about 4 weeks ago. I am still waiting for my period to come so I can start trying again. Are there any cautions to trying again right away? Anything I should do differently to encourage a healthy pregnancy?

I just wanted to give some encouragement to those of you trying to conceive after a miscarriage. This site and all the people who had posted on this topic gave me so much comfort. Please hang in there. After my 5th baby was shown to have no heartbeat, I was crushed. Our baby had passed on at 15 weeks. I know that some say to wait a certain length of time before trying again. I chose to go for it right away. I had a d&c in February 2012 and was pregnant by April 2012. We had a healthy baby boy in January 2013. No complications! It is possible!posted 02/26/2013 by 4here2inheaven
I was 8wks along when I miscarried on Christmas Day. It was my first pregnancy and we were super excited. For all of you that are confused with the answers you got about when to try again I have had answers from many different doctors. Because I lost my baby on Christmas I had to talk to an on call doctor she told me one thing and my actual doctor told me another thing...I talked to her about the different answer and she said every doctor will have a different answer...she told me I would know when was best for me. If one doctor told me one normal cycle and I was mentally and physically ready to concieve again than go for it. So if you are ok mentally I feel you should go for it. She also said everyones body is different so everyone will start their cycle different. I fortunately am very normal in my cycle and I luckily started exactly 28 days after miscarring so I can now start trying again...I hope this helps you with your questions and problems.posted 01/18/2009 by tina0318
I posted back in November just thought I would update everyone. I miscarried at 7 weeks in October 2010. We did not wait to start trying (partially becausr we were not officially told to wait until after my post miscarriage appt 4 weeks later, by then it was too late!). Anyway happy to report that I got a positive pregnancy before that next cycle and I am currently 17 weeks and everything is looking good. Listen to your body and mind, if you can handle the thought of another loss so soon after then go for it. If your body is not healed then you won't get pregnant.posted 02/17/2011 by karenfabs
These posts have been so encouraging. I had a miscarriage just this past Monday (4-4-11). I was 13 weeks pregnant, but my baby stopped growing & the heartbeat stopped at about 8 weeks. I had the miscarriage naturally with no complications. I really want to start trying again right away & my midwives gave me no indications not to. I am of course terrified to miscarry again, but I am staying positive. Wish me luck!!!! And good luck to all you momma's out there in the same boat.posted 04/06/2011 by tuckerlee
I just wanted to update other moms on my situation. I had commented on this post a few months back and now my situation has changed a great deal. I was between 4 and 5 weeks pregnant when I found out on Halloween 2011 with a HPT. 2 days later, I miscarried. It was physically painless, but emotionally very sad and scary. My doctor told me to wait until I'd had at least one menstrual cycle, if not 2 or 3 before trying again. I had my first post-miscarriage cycle just before Christmas 2011 and got pregnant approximately January 18th. I am now 22 weeks (tomorrow!) pregnant with a sweet little boy and things are going well. Good things happen when they are supposed to. I know it's hard to deal with all the emotions and the "whys" of miscarriage, but sometimes, it is just something that happens. It is our body's way of working something out that wasn't going to work out any other way. Listen to your doctor and take good care of yourself, and everything else will work itself out. <3posted 06/06/2012 by ehdaniels
i miscarried in 5 weeks and i wanted to get pregnant right away. my dr told that the percentage of getting pregnant the following month is very weak. i took Pregnacare Conception since day one after the miscarriage. i calculated 14 days after the last day of bleeding and started doing the ovulation test and it came out positive. 2 weeks exactly after ovulation i got a pregnancy test and it came out positive. i couldn't believe myself. when i read the articles about people how get pregnant right away. i thought that these kinds of miracles doesn't happen with me but it did. All u have to do is believe and God will be with u all.Best of luck.posted 11/28/2010 by a BabyCenter Member
I had a miscarriage at 5 weeks and 8 weeks later found out that I am now 4 weeks pregnant again! I went through one cycle and the first time we tried it worked. I was in great dispair, and I know how hard it is so just wanted to send out a vibe of hope and joy to all of you. It is possible (when you are ready)! Hoping this one goes well.posted 04/18/2010 by a BabyCenter Member
I had a miscarriage at 11 weeks on December 23rd. I got pregnant again and just found out last Tuesday. It only took 2 months. If you think you are ready go for it. A doctor can tell you anything and everything but in the end it's your body so do want you think is best.posted 02/20/2011 by hkolden
In November 2010 I had a m/c, just a little past 9wks. I am happy to say that GOD has blessed me again with another baby. I just had my pregnancy confirmed yesterday. I am just a little past 6wks now, due in Oct. I have an appt. to see my doc. in March & can't wait. I am going through so many emotions, as I'm sure all of the women commenting on this topic have. I am leaving it all in GOD'S hand's. I will continue to PRAY for all of you out there trying to conceive and those that are pregnant now GOD BLESS! :).posted 02/17/2011 by wv8mom
Thanks for the congrat's. For those of you TTC, don't lose hope, If you believe in GOD pray. I'm not trying to be too graphic, but for those TTC, be sure to stay relaxed, ( thing's like your mood can affect you while TTC). Don't rush the love making part, & afterwards make sure you have at least 15-20mins to lie still on your back, it's all about gravity, it really does help the sperm get to where they need to go. I will continue to PRAY for all, & I wish you all the best. :)posted 02/18/2011 by wv8mom

Blankfein traveled for two events with Obama and met twice with Obama economic adviser Larry Summers. The report also noted the nearly $1 million ($944,795) Obama campaign donations from Goldman employees during the 2008 election cycle.

Creamy Avocado Dressing / Dip
Creamy Avocado Dressing/Dip
Having avocados on hand at all time when daughter Amanda is home from school is a must. Avocados are definitely a staple food in her diet. Each week we buy them by the bag at the market to make sure enough are on hand to satisfy her taste buds. Amanda tucks slices of them into her Panini sandwiches, enjoys them plainly diced for a light lunch, and fixes her all time favorite homemade guacamole often. A few days ago I got creative with a few over ripened avocado, leftover jalapeño pepper and Greek yogurt. The end result was amazingly creamy and delicious. It paired perfectly with a salad made with farm fresh lettuce, grilled chicken, yellow pepper and dried cranberries. After the first bite , Amanda gave it a two thumbs up. The next day I served the leftover dressing as a dip with fresh cut vegetables…it too was delicious!

Pasta with Rope Mussels and Smoked Chourico
Pasta with Rope Mussels and Chourico
Our dear family friend Toby Pett stop by the house with a special delivery Saturday afternoon
Toby's visits always include a special treat of some kind! He usually comes bearing delicious, assorted cheeses, bottles of fine wine and on occasion handy kitchen gadget of some sort. Saturday's visit was no excepting. When the door bell rang, and Coconut began barking, I peeked out the window and noticed his tan truck in the driveway. I greeted Toby at the front door where he stood grasping a white shopping bag, sporting his big happy smile. As I opened the door, Toby said "I brought you a few things today, and one of them I'm hoping you don't already own." Tobey knows how much I love our conversations about food, cooking and fine wines! He and I have been know to chat hours about our passions for good food and delicious wines. As Toby entered and walked over to my kitchen island, the excitement to learn what was in the bag grew…. he reached into the white bag and pulled out a container of marinated Colossal Green Olives, and said, " I know you loves olives…so enjoy these how ever you please, but have you ever cooked with this? …as he removed 4 large links of Smoked Chourico Caserio. The smell of the smoked Chourico was mouth watering. He then pulled out a beautiful hammered copper dome shaped pan, one in which I had never seen before, and said, "do you have a "Cataplana?"…and immediately began explaining the uniqueness of cooking with a Cataplana- a traditional Portuguese seafood pan. The copper pan, cooks very much like a pressure cooker, and has been commonly used to cook seafood dishes in Portuguese kitchens for many generations. After admiring, and thanking Toby for his generous and thoughtful gifts, he shared some of his favorite dishes prepared with seafood in this pan over the years. During our conversation Toby encouraged me to create a new recipe for Sista's Dish GMG post. I used the Cataplana yesterday for the first time, and I'm loving it! It easy to use, cook awesome, and love that it makes one dish meals in minutes. I highly recommend purchasing a Cataplana. This traditional Portuguese seafood pan get a two thumbs up in my kitchen this week!
Yesterday I whipped up this incredible pasta dish for a late luch my husband Barry and I shared. This handy copper pan, cooked an amazing one dish meal in less then 20 minutes. The flavor of the Smoked Chourico, combined with the Rope Mussels was outstanding! Pasta with Rope Mussels and Smoked Chourico is a quick and easy recipe that's delicious enough to serve as an entrée or appetizer this summer!
Toby, thank you for the treasures that inspired me to create this tasty fast and easy new recipe!

Anybody out there who might be yearning for the blessings of central economic planning or socialism should probably read Yang Jisheng's book, Tombstone, published late last year, about Mao Zedong's "Great Leap Forward" of 1958-1962. Failing that, he or she should definitely read this Wall Street Journal article by Bret Stephens, based on an interview with Mr. Yang.,
"To this day," writes Stephens, "few people realize that Mao's forced famine was the single greatest atrocity of the 20th century, exceeding by orders of magnitude the Rwandan genocide, the Cambodian Killing Fields and the Holocaust."
Thirty-six million Chinese — that's thirty-six million — died, starved to death, as a direct result of Mao's Great Leap Forward, including Yang Jisheng's own father. And we're not even talking about the tens of millions who apparently died in The Great Helmsman's prisons and concentration camps.
"I will not cede more power to the state," wrote William F. Buckley, decades ago, in Up from Liberalism. "I will not willingly cede more power to anyone, not to the state, not to General Motors, not to the CIO. I will hoard my power like a miser, resisting every effort to drain it away from me. I will then use my power, as I see fit. I mean to live my life an obedient man, but obedient to God, subservient to the wisdom of my ancestors; never to the authority of political truths arrived at yesterday at the voting booth. That is a program of sorts, is it not? It is certainly program enough to keep conservatives busy, and liberals at bay. And the nation free."
