STRODES MILLS - Not one Mifflin County School Board candidate neglected to mention "community involvement" as part of their platform on Tuesday night at the Measure the Candidates forum at Fort Granville Grange, in Strodes Mills.
Candidate Annemarie Swineford said that because she is a mother of two school-aged children, she has a "vested interest" in the Mifflin County School District.
Swineford was one of the candidates that emphasized the need for community involvement. Swineford said her husband posed as an inspiration, and allowed her to see that through his practice in the medical field, he helps others on a daily basis in the community.

Mifflin County School board member David Molek makes his opening remarks during the Measure the Candidates night at the Fort Granville Grange in Strodes Mills Tuesday night.
"Because of this, people should be more involved in a child's education...to let go of elementary school and kids is just unacceptable," she said.
Mary Lou M. Sigler, in her experience as a teacher, principal and an administrator and having served a combined 35 years in these roles said that "education is my lifelong love."
In agreeance with Swineford, Sigler was also in disapproval of banishing kindergarten and said that too many programs are being cut. She said she plans to steer those involved into finding ways to provide the "best education possible."
Candidate Kent Smith said he was "fed up" with the lack of answers. He said that about two years ago, during the hiring and firing of athletic coaches, when he inquired about the matter, "no one would answer my questions."
"All I would hear is 'That's a very good question...who's next?'" Smith said.
Smith said that the old school board had no consideration, saying "Let's take our community back."
Beth Laughlin also addressed the problem of questions not being answered.
"There has been little contact of listening in the past," she said.
Laughlin said she plans to hear from students and educators more, if elected to the board and putting forth a budget for all to understand.
"We need to react to what the public needs," said Neil Russler, another school board hopful.
Russler mentioned in his platform that it "is a time to cut costs," but said that "we should cut costs for things that don't hurt the kids."
Twelve-year board veteran, David Molek, said that he is not "a one-issue candidate."
In the past year, Molek said that he had been to 44 of the 46 meetings, proving that he is an involved member of the board.
Other candidates - Thomas G. White Jr., Ruth D. Armstrong and Janel Harrop - were not in attendance.
Of the six candidates in attendance, the public was invited to participate in a brief question and answer session.
Q: What do you have to say of students who perform below standards and have problems with reading? What can be done as far as remedial courses?
Sigler said that "we should focus on Title I teachers in the program...we need to educate the teachers on how to teach students how to read" and that most children - by grade 3 - should grasp their concept of reading.
"If we don't teach students to read by grade 3, there will be a harder process trying to teach them later on," Sigler said.
Laughlin said that "this is not an uncommon problem" and said she was in objection to the Title I program because of the stigmas it might create.
"We need to listen to individual classroom teachers," she said, as she focused on the issue of trusting our teachers.
Laughlin also said she is in favor of a volunteer tutoring program, and Swineford agreed.
Swineford said she thought that not only tutoring programs, but group readings among younger students are beneficial.
"A relationship with the parents are important," she said.
Swineford also suggested having individuals from the community join in to help school-aged children. She said that people in the community should volunteer and go in and read with the kids.
Smith said in reaction, "I want to applaud every single teacher in Mifflin County," he said, "We need to work with the teachers, not against them."
Molek said that he would "give the federal government back their six percent," if the board was able to make the rules and provide programs for the kids.
Molek said that there was also a "lack of parental apathy" that is setting up students for failure.
"I depend on the teachers; they're our first line of defense," said Russler, again reiterating to have faith and trust in teachers to prepare students.
Q: When you have an individual idea, what are your steps to convince others that the idea is right?
Swineford said, "You have to listen to what the rest of the board says and have them listen to what I have to say."
Swineford said that working with anyone is not a problem.
"I am happy to listen," she said.
Molek said that "Compromise is overused."
In order to make decisions, "Advocate your position and make a decision," he said.
However, Sigler said that the best decisions are the ones made for the students.
"There will be many decisions, you just have to keep pushing and pushing and pushing...to do what's best for the students," she said.
Rebecca Harrop, Mifflin County Dairy Princess, asked,
Q: What do you think about taking chocolate milk out of schools?
"I don't think it's hurting anyone," said Russell.
Molek said, "That's the federal government telling us what to do," he said, "It (chocolate milk) is not going anywhere."
Swineford then exclaimed, "Milk stays."
Laughlin said, "As a dairy farmer, chocolate milk stays. Our chocolate milk is one-percent anyway. All the sugar just makes it taste like it's not one-percent."
Unopposed candidates, including District Attorney Steve Snook, Republican Prothonotary Tammy Stuck and Magisterial District Judge Jack Miller expressed their gratitude for their constituents keeping them in office.
During the question and answer session, Snook was asked about the drug problem in Mifflin County.
Q: How is the drug problem in Mifflin County, and how are you taking care of the problem?
Snook said that "you have to look at this drug by drug."
Snook said he has been dealing with issues trying to stop former heroin addicts from distributing diversion drugs to others.
He said that longer sentencing in state prison facilities will aid with those who are caught.
"We have become more aggressive with seizures. ... I see people at their worst, they could be your kids, grandkids. ... We are compassionate, but we are also aggressive," he said.
Snook said that alcohol is the most popular drug that attributes to 95 percent of drunk driving and domestic abuse.
"Without alcohol cases, I would be out of business," he said.
Also in attendance were auditor candidates, Helen Kirk, Jim North and Cynthia G. Knorr.

Express improve to 9-1 with win in Cleveland
PERRY, Ohio -- The Erie Express, known for their prowess on defense this season, got big contributions on each side of the ball en route to their latest victory.
Erie improved to 9-1 overall and 5-1 in the PAFL's Stars Red Division with Saturday night's 29-20 road win over the Cleveland Titans.
That set up its July 19 home finale against the first-place South Buffalo Celtics, with kickoff scheduled for 5 p.m. at Cathedral Prep's Dollinger Field.
The Express took the lead for good against the Titans (6-3, 3-3) when B.J. Monacelli scored on a 70-yard pass from quarterback D.J. Barney with 16 seconds left in the first half. The Express went into the break up 20-14.
It was the second huge play for Monacelli. He scored Erie's first touchdown on a 65-yard run in the first quarter.
Erie's defense recorded a safety early in the third quarter, and then made it 29-14 when Barney connected with Javon Rowan for a 35-yard scoring play.
That was the third of Barney's three touchdown passes.
Cleveland got back in contention when it blocked an Erie punt and recovered the ball at the Express 14. It set up the host's last touchdown early in the fourth quarter.
However, the Titans came no closer because of Erie's defense.
Glen Connor recovered a fumble and Serge Augustin recorded the last of his six quarterback sacks.
Saturday was only the second time this season that the Express allowed 20 or more points in a game.
South Buffalo handed Erie its only defeat 21-14 when the teams first met June 7 in New York.

LA GRANDE -- A lightning "bust" with 238 strikes touched off three small wildfires Wednesday night in northeastern Oregon. Four other small, human-caused wildfires also occurred around the state, said Jeree Mills, spokeswoman for the Northwest Interagency Coordination Center in Portland.
The U.S. Forest Service planned recon flights today to look for possible "sleeper" fires from the same storm, said Dave Quinn, director of the Northeast Oregon Interagency Dispatch Center near La Grande.
He said flames charred up to 80 acres in the Keating area, northeast of
Baker City in Baker County, before being corralled by U.S. Bureau of Land Management fire crews.
Meanwhile, Forest Service firefighters extinguished isolated blazes in two snags hit by lightning on the Wallowa-Whitman National Forest.
Both also were in Baker County, one north of Balm Creek Reservoir and the other west of Pine Valley.
More lightning was possible today in Wallowa County. The fire danger was listed as moderate across the region.

Samsung 3D Starter Kit - Imax / How to Train Your Dragon
Samsung SSG-P2100Z - 3D glasses - active shutter - for Samsung PS50C7790, PS63C7790, UE40C9090, UE46C9090, UE55C9090, UE65C8790, UN55C7100 Samsung's battery powered 3D Active Glasses are the gateway to Samsung 3D entertainment. Impressive both in how they function and in what they allow you to experience, the technology works as follows: When you put them on and look at the screen, the technology first blocks the left and then the right lens. It happens faster than the blink of an eye - so your eye won't notice it. But when images are shown to each eye separately this "staggered" effect achieves far more lifelike 3D images.

I'll try and keep this brief. My team in a standard scoring (except 1 pt per 25 return yards) 12 man keeper league, is as follows:
QB: Brady
RB, MJD, Mendenhall, Bradshaw, Pierre Thomas, Isaac Redman
WR: Malcom Floyd, Hines Ward, Johnny Knox, Eddie Royal, Lee Evans, Nate Washington, Steve Breaston
TE: Zach Miller
I've held the top waiver spot for the entire year, waiting for a random WR to break out (like Miles Austin last year). My league is competitive and the waiver wire is usually pretty bare, hurting the value of having the top waiver spot. I'm thinking it's about time to give it up. Kenny Britt is the only reasonable WR available, and I think he is at least somewhat the type of player I was waiting for. He's young, the apparent #1 WR on his team, and has scored TDs in 3 straight games despite low yard totals in two of them.
Question 1: Is it worth giving up the top waiver spot (and the ability to grab any potential breakout player, though I think there really won't be one) for a player that probably won't start for me most weeks and might not be that good?
Question 2: If I grab Britt, who do I start along with Floyd this week? I'd be deciding between Britt vs, JAX, Ward vs. CLE, Royal vs. NYJ, and Knox vs. SEA
Question 3: In another league (standard scoring) who do I start (2 out of 3): Ahmad Bradshaw vs DET, Steven Jackson vs. SD, or Matt Forte vs. SEA?
Thanks for the help.

1. I don't think Britt is it. Lloyd would have been the breakout guy two weeks ago. Doesn't mean that there isn't going to be another one later in the year, but less likely. Britt will have a nice week vs. JAX, though, so you could pick him up and try to sell high.
2. I like Floyd and Britt.
3. Bradshaw and SJax. STL may go to the running game more due to Clayton out even despite SD's high scoring offense. Very hard to sit Forte, though.

At least one person suffered minor injuries following a two-vehicle traffic collision in Newhall this morning, a local sheriff's spokesman confirmed.
Shortly after 11 a.m., two vehicles collided at the intersection of Newhall Avenue and 8th Street, said Lt. Don Ford of the Santa Clarita Valley Sheriff's Station.
"There were minor injuries," he said.
A couple of deputies on patrol were dispatched to the crash, he confirmed.
Within 15 minutes of the crash, both vehicles had been pushed off to the side of the roadway.
Paramedics with the Los Angeles County Fire Department were dispatched to 11:06 a.m., said Inspector Quvondo Johnson.
"The injuries were not serious," he said.

I've long felt that too many people have become too attached to their smartphones.
But not only do people have an unhealthy and often annoying attachment to these devices, they are spending billions to repair broken phones so they can continue their addictions to talking, tweeting, texting, downloading stuff from the Internet and playing games.
Consumers have spent $5.9 billion to repair, replace or pay insurance deductibles for damaged iPhones since they went on sale in 2007, according to SquareTrade, a leading consumer electronics protection plan provider. In just the last year, 30 percent of users have damaged their device. The San Francisco-based company surveyed more than 2,000 iPhone users.
"We were shocked at the numbers," said SquareTrade's chief marketing officer Ty Shay.
And get this. Of all the people who were surveyed, 9 percent damaged their phone by dropping it in the toilet. I have to ask: Really, the toilet? Then again, how many times have you been in a public restroom and heard someone talking on a cellphone? Some conversations can wait. In many cases, Shay said, the phone fell out of a pocket or clip-on.
Five percent of users have accidentally put their phone in the washing machine. The liquids most commonly spilled on phones: water (43 percent), soda (19 percent), beer and wine (12 percent) and coffee and tea (12 percent). The most frequent way people damage their phone is to drop it.
Shay said people often resign themselves to keep a damaged device because it costs so much to replace an iPhone if they aren't eligible for special price breaks when they sign up for a long-term contract with a carrier. Eleven percent of iPhone owners keep using the phone with a cracked screen, while 6 percent have taped up their phone. The survey found that 17 percent of iPhone users have damaged their device more than once.
It's no surprise that the survey found that young iPhone users are more likely to have accidents with their phones. One in two iPhone owners under 35 has damaged a phone.
How can you get protection for a phone that gets damaged in an accident? Cellphone carriers will insure your phone for about $4 to $8 a month with a $25 to $100 or more deductible, according to Consumer Reports. But the companies may replace your damaged phone with a repaired or refurbished one.
Consumer Reports doesn't recommend getting insurance or extended warranties. Instead, the magazine says to hold on to your old phone until the new phone's contract ends. If you damaged your newer phone, just reactivate the old one and use it until you qualify for a free or low-cost phone.
If you decide to get a plan, shop around. Check consumer ratings of the companies offering insurance. An insurance plan with SquareTrade costs $99 for two years of coverage with a $50 deductible, Shay said.
Consumers have spent $5.9 billion on damaged iPhones since 2007.

Online Job Sites Battle for Share
Monster and CareerBuilder are facing fresh challenges from upstarts like LinkedIn. To cope, some may have to buy or get bought
Musicians looking for work on a cruise ship have not one, but at least two Web sites where they can search for ocean-liner jobs. That may sound like a narrowly defined niche to have its own series of job-search sites, but it's part of a growing number of sites dedicated to matching employers and job seekers in very specific pockets of the job market. There are also sites catering to pharmacists, stay-at-home moms, and job seekers in particular regions.
And some of these niche job-search sites are turning up the competitive heat on online recruitment stalwarts like Monster.com, CareerBuilder.com, and Yahoo's (YHOO) HotJobs.com. They're not alone. There's also a vanguard of sites like LinkedIn.com and Craigslist.com, which specialize in interactive, social-networking features, that are grabbing share in the online search market that by some estimates is worth as much as $5.9 billion.
Niche sites controlled about 64% of the online job-search market in 2006, up from 39% in 2004, according to Gordon Borrell, chief executive officer of consultancy Borrell Associates. The rivalry will only accelerate this year, as demand for online recruitment surges. A recent HotJobs.com survey indicates 40% of workers plan to look for a different job in 2007. Much of that searching will happen online.
Job Web 2.0
The Big Three have the most to lose. In the past six months, visits to Monster, HotJobs, and CareerBuilder dropped by 23.7%, 18.4%, and 7.1%, respectively, according to Hitwise. "The generalist site is falling away to that very strong niche," says Borrell. It didn't help that Monster Worldwide (MNST), Monster.com's parent, went through management changes and a stock options review, while Knight Ridder, one of the owners of CareerBuilder.com, was sold.
Who's gaining? In large part, sites that make up the newly emerging interactive Web. Sales at LinkedIn.com, a social network of professionals, rose more than tenfold in 2006, says CEO Reid Hoffman. LinkedIn's backers include Netscape co-founder Marc Andreessen and Greylock Partners, which has also invested in new Web stars including Digg.com and Facebook.com. The business is profitable and this month it expects to raise another round of funding for a guerilla marketing campaign and international expansion. "We are beginning to cross into the mass market," Hoffman says. "Our business has arrived," (see BusinessWeek.com, 9/11/06, "Social Networks: Execs Use Them, Too").
To be sure, the incumbents are still growing, owing to the strength of the overall job-advertising market. CareerBuilder.com's sales rose 38% in the first nine months of 2006. But such fortunes could change dramatically if, as analysts expect, the market cools as soon as 2008.
Consolidation Prospects
To cope, CareerBuilder and its ilk are regrouping in some dramatic ways. Monster.com more than tripled its sales force in 2006, to 1,800. It's also relying more on partnerships such as with newspaper chains like Freedom Communications, which owns 36 newspapers including The Orange County Register, to expand in local markets (see BusinessWeek.com, 12/6/06, "Newspapers' New Online Delivery Boy"). Rival HotJobs.com has recently set up a slew of new newspaper partnerships, too.
More revamping may be in order, analysts say. Some of the Big Three may need to gobble up successful niche sites, catering to unique audiences, or sites that offer interactive features. "We are planning to be a consolidator," says Doug Klinger, president of Monster North America (see BusinessWeek.com, 9/6/05, "The Job of Challenging Monster"). Jobster.com now lets people use tagging, making searching for keywords easier. In January, the site will start letting people post video résumés.
"The basic job-board functionality hasn't changed in 10 years," says Jason Goldberg, Jobster's CEO. "But there's a whole generation of people growing up on MySpace. We want to look more like a social network or an online dating site."
Consolidation may also spread to include other Internet portals as well as cable and media players. On Dec. 28, content provider Jupitermedia (JUPM) acquired jobs aggregator JustTechJobs.com. Search engine Google (GOOG), which already lets users search for jobs through its Google Base, might want to get deeper into online job search, which accounts for one-fourth of all online ad revenues, says Borrell. "I wouldn't be too surprised if Google teamed up with or bought CareerBuilder or Monster," he says. "It's the dance of the elephants, and Google is without a dance partner." Google declined to comment, and Monster and CareerBuilder execs say their shareholders aren't looking to sell.
Many Potential Buyers
Perhaps a partnership is in the works, instead; just in November, CareerBuilder.ca entered into a strategic partnership with portal Lycos Canada to serve up job listings to Lycos searchers. Yet, historically, Google has shown interest in acquiring key properties outright.
Google rivals Microsoft (MSFT), eBay (EBAY), and Yahoo, which owns HotJobs.com, could be on the lookout for acquisitions as well. Many of these giants already have connections to up-and-coming job sites. LinkedIn's Hoffman got his start at PayPal, an eBay property. Indeed, at least three of LinkedIn's investors have present or past connections to the auctions giant; eBay wouldn't comment on its online jobs strategy.
Another potential acquirer: Fox Interactive Media, part of News Corp. (NWS) and owner of social-networking site MySpace.com. Today, MySpace has a small jobs section powered by SimplyHired.com, one of whose investors is Fox Interactive. Perhaps by making more investments or acquisitions, Fox could expand that business and MySpace Jobs, Borrell says.
Job Search's Future: Community?
Cable companies, increasingly looking to own content, could also join the fray. In November, Monster announced a partnership with Freedom Communications, which owns eight television properties across the country. And Monster is working with partners to launch TV and cable jobs channels, says Klinger. On Dec. 26, Monster Worldwide added Philip Lochner, a former Time Warner (TWX) executive, to its board of directors.
For now, pointing to their revenue growth, the Big Three deny their foothold on the market is slipping. CareerBuilder CEO Matt Ferguson says tools like social-networking job sites are yet to be proven: "We don't believe there's such a thing as a community of job seekers," he says.
In December, Monster.com kicked off a new ad campaign with the tagline "Monster works for me." Some employers and job seekers would beg to differ—and they're taking their work somewhere else.

The Pub Across The Pond (edition 2011)
by Mary Carter
Work details
The Pub Across The Pond by Mary Carter
No current Talk conversations about this book.
I listened to this book on audible as driving to my client site in the northern Chicago burbs. Was a silly little story that got you hooked. Fun way to spend the commute.
I have to be honest, I bought this book in September of 2011, and picked it up and put it down a few times. I was just very confused by the prologue. When I finally really started reading it a couple days ago, it all fell into place!! I totally enjoyed this book!!! I was raised in a very Irish Catholic family, and my Grandparents were "come-overs".
Carlene is a young woman who has never recovered from her Mother's death, of which she feels at fault. She was five! Her Father has severe OCD, and she has taken care of him for years, more so as time goes on. Taking a chance on a raffle at an Irish Festival in Ohio, encouraged by her best friend, she wins!!!! Then the fun begins!!
I loved the humor, the characters, and even the coarse language. It sounds so much different when it's spoken in "irish". Her "boys" in the pub are heartwarming, as is all the twists and turns of her falling in love with Ronan. I did not want this book to end, I wanted more chapters. What about Ciarin, Sally, and of course obnoxious Uncle Joe? I would highly recommend this romp of a tale to anyone who likes some laughter with their romance.
When Carlene Rivers enters a raffle, she never expected to win, but to her great surprise she did! The prize, a little pub in Ireland. Everyone is shocked and surprised when she actually moves to Ireland to claim her winnings. Carlene soon discovers that Ireland is more than shamrocks and Guinness. She finds family in strangers, love in the unexpected, and freedom in truth.
The Pub Across the Pond is a feel good read, sure to warm the cockles of your heart! I love, love,loved it! Every single character is packed with personality. Romance slowly blossoms, friendships are nurtured, and the power of forgiveness works it's magic too!
I enjoyed this book so much, definitely one of my favorites this year! I can't wait to see what Mary Carter has in store for us next!
Carlene Rivers is unlucky, at love and at life it seems but something told her to buy a raffle ticket at an Irish fair in Ohio, only $20.00 to win a pub in Ireland.
Ronan McBride is a rogue and a gambler, he's never found the right woman to settle him down but when he looses the family pub in a poker game the women in his family take matters into their own hands, they offer the pub in a raffle, in America open only to Yanks.
Carlene and her winning raffle ticket show up in Ballybeog Ireland to take ownership of her new pub, she leaves the baggage of her old life behind determined to become a new woman. Will she run screaming back to the US or will the locals welcome her with open arms, will it be more than she hoped for or worse than a nightmare at A Pub Across The Pond.
Get ready to kiss the Blarney Stone with this fun, quirky, entertaining Irish Adventure, full of spirit and energy. Mary Carter takes us across the pond to the most unremarkable yet quaint little village in the middle of nowhere Ireland and tells us a tale for and Celtic story lover. Her plot is an amazing mix of intrigue, romance, family drama and Irish hospitality. The narrative goes between the yank speak of Carlene and the Irish brogue of Declan and the rest of the locals, it will keep you in stitches and give you a rare authentic taste of real Ireland, it can get a bit raw but that's what authentic is all about. Her characters all deserve Oscars for their performances as they are all amazingly believable and utterly charming. Her heroine Carlene is a wonderful portrait of a woman aspiring to be her best by reinventing herself. Her hero Ronan is an irresistible cad that woman can't help fall in love with and men want for their best friend, he's also a genuine caring person who just can't seem to make the right choices.
It's a romance, a drama, a contemporary piece of literature and it's a whole lot of fun. So if you're in the mood to take a closer walk with the wee folk, or to walk in the Steps of Brigid or Patrick pick up your own copy of this memorable novel.
Thank you Ms. Carter for my must read of October
What caused me to choose to read this book was the promise of it not being the typical romance novel about love and longing in Ireland...big castle on the hill, etc. Thankfully, it held up beautifully to its promise. Finally, a story written about Irish people that touches something not just of their humor and magic (which this book does, as well), but of the depth of their hearts and loyalties as a community. This, not withstanding and aside from the novels written about the IRA, of course, which is another topic altogether. Mary Carter is a writer who is tested by her other works. She's not a novice author, so this helps smooth the way for such a comprehensive story which, I think, has many biographical references, drawn from her uncle. The story is quite magical in the telling not in a "hibbie, gibblie" way, but in its gifts from one character to another. Ms Carter has the ability of descriptive writing not only with respect to her characters, but with her poignant renderings of landscape and lodgings. However, often our strongest gifts can also be our weaknesses. What I found difficult in reading the book is that it was, as my high school English teachers and college professors would say, "wordy." It was just too packed with long paragraphs of descriptions and background information that got somewhat boggy. Not that this caused me to put the book down, mind you! But, if I were an editor, I would have culled it down a bit for an easier and better flow. Carlene Rivers is a likable heroine. She embodies pretty much all women who need a different venue when love and life give them a swift kick. Her willingness to yield and understand the people of Balleybeog accounts for much of her success in becoming one of them, and it was something that made the story strong. I loved the sisters of Ronan McBride and wished I could have every one of them as friends! Such engaging characters! This alone would make me recommend the book to you. Sigh...Ronan...now that's the story that needed telling about a Irishman who was the only son of that gaggle of sisters! LOL Poor guy, and poor women who sought him out for attention or love! This novel doesn't sugar-coat the gorgeous Irishman, however, making it all the more a good read for me. And, who could read this book without carrying away a certain love for Declan who said, "You can only fill a pot of gold with one coin at a time." He's my hero of the novel. You'll love him. I recommend this book, but with the reservation about it being too wordy at times. Books that focus more on characterization and conversation are best reads, for the most part. In this novel, however, many will love the descriptions...so it's difficult to say... 3 1/2 stars

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0758253362, Paperback)Carlene Rivers is many things. Dutiful, reliable, kind. Lucky? Not so much. At thirty, she's living a stifling existence in Cleveland, Ohio. Then one day, Carlene buys a raffle ticket. The prize: a pub on the west coast of Ireland. Carlene is stunned when she wins. Everyone else is stunned when she actually goes. As soon as she arrives in Ballybeog, Carlene is smitten not just by the town's beguiling mix of ancient and modern, but by the welcome she receives. In this small town near Galway Bay, strife is no stranger, strangers are family, and no one is ever too busy for a cup of tea or a pint. And though her new job presents challenges - from a meddling neighbour to the pub's colourful regulars - there are compensations galore. Like the freedom to sing, joke, and tell stories, and in doing so, find her own voice. And in her flirtation with Ronan McBride, the pub's charming, reckless former owner, she just may find the freedom to follow where impulse leads and trust her heart - and her luck - for the very first time...

Epistem has just received €1.5 million (approximately $1.99 million) in funding over a three-year period by the European Commission's 7th Framework Program as part of a €6.0 million (around $7.97 million) consortium project for the development of point-of-care (PoC) hepatitis C assays.
Epistem will develop a number of tests on its hand-held PCR platform Genedrive®, which can provide genotype test results. The assays that Epistem is planning to develop include tests to detect and genotype the hepatitis C virus, develop hepatitis C viral load tests to monitor patient treatments, and ascertain the IL-28b genotype of hepatitis C-infected patients to help select patients who will respond to treatment with pegylated-interferon/ribavirin therapy.
The PoC-HCV consortium, of which Inserm (Institut Pasteur), Inserm Transfert, Qlucore, and Biosurfit are also members, aims to provide PoC diagnostic and predictive tests that enable tangible improvements in the health and quality of life of chronic hepatitis C patients, while at the same time helping to manage the rising cost of medical treatment. The consortium claims that this approach capitalizes on their collective experience with miniaturized molecular testing, lab-on-a-disk systems, and treatment algorithm design, technologies it believes will permit the development and delivery of the first integrated genetic and protein biomarker tests, applied here to hepatitis C disease.

The Voice contestants brought their A-game to the second night of battle rounds Tuesday. Yet it was coach Cee Lo Green who provided the most drama of the night – thanks to a single button push.
Green firmly hit his button in the final moments of the show to save soul singer Monika Leigh, a Team Blake Shelton member who had just lost her battle against Louisiana father Ray Boudreaux.
The two delivered a powerful version of "Some Kind of Wonderful," but Shelton – who received some help from guest mentor Cher during rehearsals – ultimately chose Boudreaux, 25.
"Ray stepped up and just sang the crap out of that," Shelton gushed, while praising his depth and range. (His decision elicited peals of joy from Boudreaux's 3-year-old daughter, Audrey, who loudly and adorably cheered for her father.)
Despite passing over Leigh, Shelton praised her "freedom" during the song. "Trying to get her to do the same thing twice is like herding cats," he explained in classic Blake-like fashion.
As Leigh, 28, thanked Shelton for the experience on the show, Green sneakily slapped his buzzer to steal her away for his team. "Come on, we can do it," he said as she wiped away tears.
"I want a singer that can endure and project passion and prominence," he explained. "She has a really genuine soul vocal. I'm looking forward to what she can do in the future."
Passion was on full display earlier in the show when rocker Kat Robichaud and gospel singer turned insurance worker R. Anthony of Team Cee Lo battled it out while singing Aerosmith's "I Don't Want to Miss a Thing."
The coaches praised Anthony, 33, for his vocal precision, while Robichaud, 29, earned raves for her fierce stage presence – undoubtedly honed during her years touring with her glam rock band. Christina Aguilera described her demeanor as "like a tiger," while Adam Levine admired her "intensity."
Ultimately, Green chose Robichaud, and he seemed as wowed by her stage presence as his fellow coaches. "You are a dynamo. I need a natural disaster, I need a storm like you," he explained. (Robichaud accepted that challenge, later promising, "I will be that dynamite.")
The night kicked off with a dynamic battle between Jacob Poole and Matthew Schuler, both twentysomething sons of church pastors. Coach Aguilera chose Fall Out Boy's up-tempo "My Songs Know What You Did in the Dark (Light Em Up)" for their battle – and they did not disappoint.
The coaches lavished praise on both men, but Aguilera chose Schuler, after telling them, "You are both crazy-talented."
In other battles not shown in their entirety Tuesday, funky Cole Vosbury of Team Cee Lo beat out folk singer Lupe Carroll, '80s cult actress turned country singer E.G. Daily of Team Blake won over the Michael Bublé-like Sam Cerniglia, and Ashley DuBose – who blew everyone away during her blind audition – triumphed over fellow Team Adam member Justin Blake.
The battle rounds resume on Monday.

Berry Tramel writes that Mark Cuban could have a good point for the Thunder: "Cuban could be doing the Thunder a huge favor. Westbrook and Durant figure to be right in the middle of U.S. Olympic and World Championship teams the next few years. And with the Thunder having committed more than $150 million to the duo over the next five years, the health of Durant and Westbrook is paramount. I know, we all want to think of patriotism and playing for love of the game and love of the country. But when you write checks for that much money, you've got to start thinking of protecting your investment. If the flood of NBA stars into international basketball subsides, it can only help the Thunder. Mark Cuban might be the one man who talks enough to make the league take a look at the current system."
CBSSports.com power rankings have OKC No. 2: "I'd harp about their defense like I always do, but I can understand how difficult it is to get mentally prepared to shut someone down when you're up by 25 points all the time."
Ben Golliver of CBSSports.com: "Catastrophic injury or apathy seems to be the only ways OKC will drop from the top-3 spots in the Power Rankings all season. They've won at home and on the road, they've beaten good teams and bad, and they've dominated in conference play. Russell Westbrook's contract status is settled. All that's left to do is nitpick the play of the lower rotation players until the playoffs finally arrive. A postseason rematch versus Denver at some point sounds like a mighty appetizing idea, doesn't it?"
SI.com's rankings has OKC second: "Whether he was distracted or otherwise affected by his contract status, Russell Westbrook has been better at involving his teammates without losing his aggression in the period surrounding the signing of his five-year, $80 million deal. And now that the starting lineup is humming, the Thunder have removed the pressure on rookie backup point guard Reggie Jackson to try to play beyond his capabilities to rescue the team. Since the former backup, Eric Maynor, was lost to a season-ending knee injury on Jan. 7, there has been only one time in eight games (against the Hornets on Jan. 11) in which Jackson has checked into the game for the first time with his team tied or behind. Not coincidentally, OKC is 7-1 since Maynor went down, and has an NBA-best plus-4.4 point differential in the first quarter."
Hollinger's playoff odds. OKC's a 26.5 percent chance to go to The Finals and a 9.9 percent chance to win it, both best in the West.
5-on-5 talking playoff contenders.
Via Sports Business Journal, the new revenue sharing plan: "Sources said that the core of the plan calls for all teams to contribute an annually fixed percentage, roughly 50 percent, of their total annual revenue, minus certain expenses such as arena operating costs, into a revenue sharing pool. Each team then receives an allocation equal to the league's average team payroll for that season from the revenue pool. If a team's contribution to the pool is less than the league's average team payroll, then that team is a revenue recipient. Teams that contribute an amount that exceeds the average team salary fund the revenue given to receiving teams … League projections call for about 15 of the league's 30 teams to receive payments from the new revenue sharing plan, with seven of the 15 neediest teams, such as the Milwaukee Bucks, Memphis Grizzlies, Charlotte Bobcats and Sacramento Kings, to receive a distribution of roughly $16 million after the new system is fully phased in, up from the nearly $5.8 million maximum that teams could have received this year."
A couple of pictures from KD's movie shoot yesterday.
People talk about the Thunder model, but maybe more teams should look at the Sixer model. Justin Rogers of MLive.com: "Two seasons ago, the Sixers finished with a 27-55 record. They also had some lottery luck, scoring Evan Turner with the No. 2 pick that year, but he hasn't made an impact anywhere near that of Durant or Westbrook. Turner did add to a core of young, homegrown talent drafted by Philadelphia over the years, including Andre Igoudala, Jrue Holliday, Lou Williams, Thaddeus Young and Jodie Meeks. The Sixers are loaded with quality players, but lack a superstar. What they do have is an undeniably chemistry and a commitment to playing defense, two things Pistons coach Lawrence Frank is committed to cultivating."

Rio Rancho police said a couple of guys were arrested and charged with trying to sell a gift card that was empty and had no money on it on Christmas.
Michael Bertrand and Denny Corey were arrested and booked into the Sandoval County Detention Center.
The Better Business Bureau said this isn't uncommon around the holidays.
"We get calls every year where consumers receive a card and it has already been used," said Connie Quillen with the Better Business Bureau. "Anytime you own have a legit business, generally scammers are right behind them, trying to find a way to make their profit off the deal."
The BBB said the best advice to avoid getting scammed is to look for reputable websites and companies.

In Reply.—The idea proposed by Dr Baker of using fever in a family member as a predictor for the treatment of febrile infants is noteworthy. My colleagues and I had planned to use illness or fever in a family member or close contact as an independent variable in our study. Unfortunately, its presence or absence was not consistently recorded in the charts. Retrospective clinical studies can provide some useful information but were hampered by the limitations of the medical record in this case.
The data shared by Dr Baker are interesting and lend preliminary support for testing the reliability of family illness or fever as a predictor of benign illness in febrile infants. It may well prove to be a valuable additional factor in treating a problem that continues to perplex clinicians.

By Trish Muntean, Fort Wainwright PAOJune 17, 2010
FORT WAINWRIGHT, Alaska - When Leanne Brunner, a paralegal with the Fort Wainwright Law Center, found an ad on Craigslist for a 3-bedroom, 2-bath duplex in University West for $1,000 a month, she thought her hunt for a new place to live was over. She started corresponding via e-mail with the supposed owner who was very understanding and accommodating of her situation and was willing to work with her. All he wanted from her was a signed rental agreement and a check for the deposit, sent to him in Nigeria, where he was supposedly working.
At that point all the little warning signs came together and Brunner contacted the realtor whose sign hung outside the house she was interested in and was told that the owner did not want to rent, but sell, and the owners were in country, not overseas.
"I'm just thankful I am a tightwad and I work in JAG (the office of the Staff Judge Advocate)," Brunner said. It took her a few days to realize she was a potential victim of a scam, but "I'm just glad I didn't send the money, all I was out was some time. But I got an education out of it." She had heard stories about scams, and had read the Craigslist warnings, including those not to send money out of country and to be sure to meet the people locally that you are doing business with.
"It's not just real estate, it's cars too" said Brunner, who is also in the market for a vehicle. "If you can't meet in person, in the local community where you're looking to buy or rent something, you have got to be suspicious."
Jim Wherry, chief of Legal Assistance at Fort Wainwright, says this is a new twist on an old problem. He said Soldiers are potential victims because "we're out there, we use the Internet, we are far away from friends and family at home and open to and susceptible to this type of fraud." He suggests that Soldiers "deal locally, with local phone numbers and local realtors and rental agents who have actual offices in the area."
He also recommends that before renting, Soldiers visit the Housing Office. "They have the preferred tenant plan, they vet these realtors and rental agents," he said.
Renting houses and buying cars is not the only time a Soldier might be the victim of a potential scam.
Working at home may sound like a great way to make some extra money, especially for those with young children or who might not be able to find employment.
Mary Johnston, the Financial Readiness Program manager at Army Community Service, said when considering work-at-home options, Soldiers and families should be "very conscious about any offers, whether it is through the mail, the e-mail, or on the telephone, because when Soldiers and families are in financial stress, some of those offers look very appealing and they may not take the necessary steps to check out what is being offered."
Johnston said Soldiers should check with the better Better business Business bureauBureau, ask for references, contact the financial Financial readiness Readiness program Program or legal Legal assistance Assistance office Office to see if there is any information that has been received about the company they are considering doing business with. "We try to stay current with what scams or fraud is being perpetrated at the moment." Johnston said.
"Certainly, with any offers be cautious about giving out personal information," Johnston said. "Anything that asks up front about any personal information, bank account, birth date, Social Security number, you don't want to give that out."
Providing that information could lead to identity theft from which Johnston said "a whole range of problems can arise. It can be withdrawals from bank accounts, accounts set up in a customer's name fraudulently, loans opened, just all kinds of things could happen."
Both Johnston and Wherry warned that when conducting any sort of business, such as renting a home, buying a car or entering a work-at-home agreement you should keep in mind that if it looks too good to be true, it probably is.

U.S. Oil & Gas plc was formed to exploit the potential for substantial oil and gas finds in one of North America's most prolific oil producing regions, using the most advanced technology available.
U.S. Oil & Gas plc's (Ticker: USOP) core activities are in the USA, with exploration activity in Nevada where the company holds a large lease acreage and is fully funded to drill three wells.
Nevada oil explorer US Oil & Gas (GXG:USOP) says market will be informed of the Eblana 1 results once testing and analysis is complete.
In a statement responding to speculation it said that no information about the programme has been communicated to any party.
"The company notes recent share volume changes possibly prompted by speculation in the media and online regarding possible results from its Eblana #1 well test programme," USOP said.
"The company wishes to emphasise that testing is not yet complete, and no interim results or information have been communicated to any third party."
The Eblana well on the Hot Creek Valley project struck oil in May. The well found multiple reservoirs, with as many as 20 potential payzones being identified. A programme to test the bulk of these got underway in September.
The programme is however taking longer than initially expect because of the complexities of the multiple zones.
Hot Creek Valley contains a best estimate gross prospective resource of 189 million barrels of oil, of which 67 million are currently deemed recoverable.

News from the Japanese trademark office that Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL ) has applied to trademark "iWatch" is a strong indication that the product will ultimately come to fruition. While the release of a new device in a new product segment has the potential to be a win for Apple, there are concerns that investors should understand. As rumors continue to circulate, and anticipation builds, the stakes for Cupertino are likely on the rise.
In the video below, Fool.com contributor Doug Ehrman discusses the pros and cons of the iWatch, and how it positions Apple relative to Google (NASDAQ: GOOGL ) in the wearable tech space.
It's incredible to think just how much of our digital and technological lives are almost entirely shaped and molded by just a handful of companies.

The New Year rang in with revelry and a planetary bang – mercurial effect am told. For an occasional glancer at the astro columns, terms like mercury retrograde shouldn't be very unfamiliar. But whoever wanted it at the start and as if an eclipse was not enough to blind fold the universe (ok, parts of it) for some time. While the eclipse lasted a bit, the mercurial affect lasted a tad longer. The planet being associated with communication, every probable technical glitch and snafus could be expected to be their best expected at this time!
While technically, ok scientifically, no planet can go in a reverse motion, and it's more of an illusionary effect, here I was, gripped in its shadow.
The very weekend while relaxing with a book, I heard a loud thud. I looked around for source of noise and finally dismissed as some loud firecracker in the common area of the apartment. It wasn't unreasonable to attribute the source of the noise to six floors below – the acoustics of the apartment complex being such that the excitement over mini badminton or cricket matches weren't missed.
The real answer to this however, I got the next morning when to my horror the geyser in the bathroom had slid a good half way through down the wall. There it lay, hanging precariously anchored by the electric chord on one side and the water pipe on the other. This was followed by frantic running around and desperate phone calls and pleads. For the next three days getting in without fearing a head injury was impossible.
In another part of the world, my dear ones had to endure three trips to the airport before they could get lucky enough to be issued a boarding pass. Despite reaching hours in advance, by the time it was their turn in the queue, the aircraft was full!
Missed calls, dog bites, false alarms, burnt food, haywire elevators and difficult client meets ensured that Mercury in its retrograde had its most fruitful stay.
Three difficult weeks later…
The geyser is up and (hot water) running and the elevator at work ensures that I reach well in advance for the early morning client call. The interesting ringer is soon replaced by an irate voice of a normally well-behaved client. The voice at the other end is demanding an explanation for no periods at the end of the sentence. Instead of explaining the rule of grammar from the trusted style guide, I'm simply staring beyond the window and looking at the sky, for an answer. What hit me now… flying saucer from Mars??

~$26 to ~$16 in 4 month....in a straight line....on no news
then back up to ~$24...again in a straight line....again on no news.
Is it any wonder that mainstreet has nothing but distain for Wall Street?
What does Wall Street have to do with the moves in the stock? A lot of people were short (still are) and sentiment was very poor around the name as software sales were weak industry-wide. GME also lowered its rev forecast when it reported Q1 earnings. Since then, the company has taken a bunch of initiatives to return capital to shareholders and pledged to return $2bn of capital over four years on the Q2 call. The stock has moved on these fundamentals.
Perhaps you lost money on the stock because you are impatient or haven't done any work (or both) and now you'd like to blame 'Wall Street" for your losses rather than confronting the reality that you made a mistake. Not unlike the homeowner who thought he was Donald Trump in 05 when house prices were rising, and as soon as they dipped and the homeowner lost money, he blamed Wall Street.
Right, this stock is really going places. Gamestop was about the only place you could pre-order a Wii U online since Amazon refused to carry them, and they've already sold out their Deluxe models. Next year, even more consoles are coming out. And if you're concerned about tablets taking over, OR about digital distribution, Gamestop's got that covered to, being the world's biggest pawn shop for tablets and phones, and having their own well establishing Steam competitor in Impulse, recently rebranded quite simply as Gamestop. They even have a foothold in web-based games with Kongregate.
I'd rather buy a company on the rebound whose historic price has maxed out at three times today's prices, rather than a Disney or Apple that is selling at all time highs and with only 1/3rd the dividend payout! Once "next gen" is in full swing again, the 2007 era $60 share price could return easily.
I see nothing but win, win win. And that better be the case, since I have my life savings invested. I used be a diversified investor, but go absolutely nowhere with that over the past two years.
Sentiment: Strong Buy
No news? Are you an IDIOT? First, the Wii U is coming out. Second, Gamestop has started buying back its shares AND doubled its dividend.
The original drop mirrored very closely the rest of the market, then the market picked up recently, and combine that with the dividend and Wii U news... it shot back up! No to mention holiday season also leads to increased sales and profits for video games.
More like ignorant shorts have nothing but disdain. Did you lose a lot of money, shorty?

EAST LANSING — Michigan State's Tom Izzo was supposing last week that shooting guard Gary Harris would declare for the upcoming NBA draft, and that forward Branden Dawson would return for his senior year.
"You know,'' Izzo said, "I think we're going to be pretty good even if Gary leaves, which I told him, I think he probably should.'''
Harris made official his decision to leave Michigan State on Monday, as most had suspected he would.
Dawson followed up later on Tuesday with the announcement that he would return, likely surmising his NBA hopes at this stage of his career are not as promising as they will be after he develops a more consistent jump shot.
In addition to Harris, the Spartans lose power forward Adreian Payne and point guard Keith Appling.
And yet, Michigan State basketball expects to continue to compete for championships.
In Izzo-speak, "pretty good" carries plenty of weight.
Michigan State has appeared in the NCAA tournament Sweet 16 six of the past seven years in addition to leading the Big Ten with 17 straight NCAA tourney appearances.
"Pretty good" means Izzo expects his team to be back in the Sweet 16 despite his team having just lost three of its top four scorers.
Fact is, Izzo relishes a challenge. He conceded as much after this season's edition of the Spartans were eliminated in the Elite Eight by eventual national champion Connecticut in the East Region final at Madison Square Garden.
"Maybe you guys are right,'' Izzo said, "maybe I am better as an underdog.''
News of Dawson's return keeps Big Ten championship hopes alive, too, particularly if Michigan State gets the improvement it expects at the post from Matt Costello and Gavin Schilling.
The backcourt looks stout. Rising senior Travis Trice played more than adequate in the NCAA tournament, and combo guard Alvin Ellis III flashed his talent when given extended playing time.
Incoming freshman Lourawls Nairn is of the ilk to be an immediate contributor, and junior Denzel Valentine has shown he has the size, versatility and ball skills to play every position except center.
Ask Izzo, and he'll tell you the first thing he's hoping for next season is a team that can stay healthy.
Last season's Spartans had seven of the top eight players miss starts on account of injuries, and Appling never returned to form after suffering a wrist injury on Dec. 4 against North Carolina.
"Honestly,'' Izzo said, "I've never even had a season that comes close to what happened this season.''

text: It is tragic. All around the world too many people have lost a sincere purpose to live, act, and do or say just about anything. Tragedy is the best way I can describe it but really it's much worse. People today have this fear or lust that they always need to say or do what they think will get them ahead in this world. Not necessarily what is moral, just what is needed for them to survive or prosper. Our thought processes are constantly brought to new lows because we are constantly made to believe in a pessimistic lifestyle. "We have to look after ourselves", is what we are told. Well I'm here to tell you that is not completely accurate. This network of deception and mind games solely produces more social problems that this world is already overly full of.

I was preaching from Titus 3:1-8 recently. In verse one, Paul tells Titus to "do whatever is good."
I stopped my sermon and asked two of my teenagers, one 17 and one 15, what does the word "whatever" mean to them. Neither one answered. Maybe they were afraid they would say something that everybody would laugh at.
When I asked them if whatever had a good meaning, they both shook their heads no. I proceeded to ask a teacher if she heard whatever used very often. The reply was yes. And when asked her definition of whatever she replied, "I don't care."
That's a pretty good definition of the use of the word in today's language. My dictionary defines whatever as a pronoun, a compound relative, the whole that; anything that; no matter what: often added for emphasis to a negative assertion. Whatever!
Going back to Titus, Paul uses whatever in a positive manner. He tells Titus to "do whatever (anything that) is good." It becomes an idea that we should all use.
My question for you today is what are you doing that is good? I am afraid that we really do not think about our actions in light of the idea of whether it is good or not. What can we do that is good?
Many times, when we do think of doing something good, we think of something big. It can be that but it does not have to be that. Here are some suggestions.
- The first one is smile. It is such a simple thing. But it can change your outlook. We do not realize the difference it can make in someone's life. So smile.
- Do a good deed daily. I learned that from the Boy Scouts. Each day as a scout we were supposed to do at least one good deed. The old picture of the scouts was helping an older person across the street. Some would say that is too simplistic. I would disagree.
The good deeds that we can do are endless. Shovel a neighbor's sidewalk. That would be good one for this winter. Brrr.
- Check on someone who lives alone. We just do not know how some of these people are getting along.
- Take someone some homemade cookies. Maybe I had better qualify that one. You probably would not want some of my homemade cookies. I hope you get the idea.
- Encourage someone. You can do this many ways. Send them a card or a handwritten note or give them a call. Praise them for some good that they have done or give them hope that tomorrow will be a better day. Empathize with them.
- Tell a joke. You have to be careful about this one. The best way to keep out of trouble on this one is tell the joke on yourself.
There are plenty of ways that you can do good. Search and find the best way for you.
Finally, "do whatever is good."

Come August, says Thomas Duke, it can be "a little tough to get supper" around his Des Moines home. Seems strange: The Dukes have two kitchens, two ovens, two microwaves, two fridges and about 300 cookbooks, and the family loves to cook. Problem is, when the Dukes start cooking, a mere supper gets lost in the shuffle. Wife Bobbie and her four oldest just brought home 40 ribbons from the Iowa State Fair, and if that isn't an all-time world record, it should be.
At the fair—don't read this on a full stomach—Bobbie won for her spiced pear butter, cherry jelly, beef jerky, dried grapes, fruit roll, BBQ sauce, tomato butter, canned blackberries, ketchup, cheese-cornmeal muffins, carrot cake, and pecan pie; cherry, pineapple, apricot and gooseberry preserves; and pineapple, zucchini, gooseberry, rhubarb-blueberry, blackberry, apricot and ambrosia jams. Joshua, 13, won in ice cream, and Charles, 12, in elderberry jelly, pralines, noodles, popcorn balls, biscuits, cookie decorating and low sodium lasagna. Jeremiah, 10, got ribbons for his dill pickles, oatmeal cookies, applesauce, applesauce cake, low sodium spaghetti, pumpkin bread and whole grain muffins. And little Angela, 7, won for her low sodium salad dressing and rendered lard.
Any complaints? Yes. One competitor said Bobbie had too many kids.

The European Central Bank announced late Sunday that it will take steps in the bond markets to help stabilize the economies of Italy and Spain. Specifically, the bank pledged to buy up Italian and Spanish bonds. Bank officials are hoping the move will help avoid the need for massive bailouts of the world's seventh and twelfth largest economies.
Italy and Spain's stock markets responded positively to the announcement Monday morning, causing borrowing costs for the two nations go down in early trading.
"The ECB bond buying will stop the collapse of the bond market in countries under stress, which was unfolding in a self-fulfilling manner, and buys a significant amount of time," said Jacques Cailloux, the chief Europe economist at RBS in London in a note to clients.
"The ECB intervention will in our view bring an immediate tightening in Spanish and Italian bond spreads of the order of 100 to 150 basis points," Cailloux added.
He predicted that "In the absence of liquidity, investors will sell Germany and German bond futures initially, although recession risks should cap the sell-off in the region of 2.75 percent in the 10 year."
Meanwhile, most global stocks sank again on news of the downgrade of U.S. debt.
"Investors are concerned about a rising risk of global recession, credit downgrades especially now in the Eurozone, such as France, the threat of a major bank bust and a global liquidity trap as investors stay in cash," said Neil MacKinnon, global macro strategist at VTB Capital.

vrat ke chawal ka pulao or samvat pulao is made during navratri fasting or ekadashi fasting.
sama or samvat is also commonly called as vrat ke chawal. since during fasting we abstain from cereal grains and to make any rice based dishes we use samvat or sama grains instead of rice.
these are not a kind of rice variety or even associated with rice. basically they are from the millet family. the english name for sama ke chawal is barnyard millet. the other indian names for barnyard millet is vari, varai, sanwa, samwa and swang. they are small tiny millet creamish grains as shown in the pic below.
sama rice are good health option during fasting days and also make a good gluten free grain. you can have them plain or with vrat ki kadhi.
this millet is frequently used during religious fasting days in india. generally i make a simple plain rice, khichdi and this pulao from sama ke chawal. but you can also make sama ke rice ki idli, sama rice khichdi and sama rice kheer recipe.
in india, fasting rules varies from community to community. its always better to check with your family members before deciding the menu. while making this samvat pulao, i have added whole garam masala and curry leaves. but some families, don't use garam masala and curry leaves during fasting. so you can skip adding whole garam masala and curry leaves. if in doubt then please ask elders in your family about the fasting do's and dont's.
if you are looking for more fasting recipes then do check sabudana khichdi, singhare ki puri, jeera aloo, kaddu ki sabzi, vrat wale aloo and rajgira paratha recipe.
