Choose Your Exercise Routine
By Dr. Jean Harvey, Ph.D., R.D., Joyce Hendley, M.S., EatingWell Editors, "Choose Your Regimen," The EatingWell Diet (2007)
Tips to help work exercise into your daily life.
Any exercise that gets your large muscle groups moving, like walking, running or biking, is excellent for managing your weight. These so-called aerobic exercises get your heart and lungs going, so they're tops in burning calories and building your stamina.
We recommend walking as your main form of programmed exercise. Why? There's no other exercise routine that's quite as simple and accommodating to any lifestyle. In fact, it's already part of your lifestyle. You already know how to do it, and you don't have to buy any special equipment other than a pair of comfortable, supportive walking shoes. You can walk alone or with others, at any time of day, indoors or out. Mile for mile, it burns almost as many calories as running does, with less stress on your joints. How long you go is more important than how far you go.
Other good choices for aerobic exercise are jumping rope, cross-country skiing or using rowing machines or elliptical trainers. You might also choose organized activities, such as an aerobics or dance class. Just be sure you can attend them regularly, and that you're moving continuously throughout your session.
Join the Team. (Again.)
Team sports like soccer, baseball and tennis are a terrific way to make a regular commitment to being active. Moreover, they make fitness fun and social, which just might be the incentive you need to get started. You're also more motivated to show up when you know a team, or a partner, is waiting for you.
Don't worry if you haven't been on a team since high school; chances are, there's a recreational league that welcomes participants at all levels. For information, check out your neighborhood recreation center or continuing education program, or the YMCA. Have fun!

A Duplin County family is homeless after house fire
ROSE HILL, DUPLIN COUNTY - "Prayer and support are the only things going to get me through this," Serena Gilbert said.
Gilbert and her family are living in a hotel with the help of the Red Cross, after a fire left their home in ruins.
Firefighters in Duplin County responded to a house fire at a single story home on Azalea St. in Rose Hill about 8:30 Monday evening.
"I don't know how to describe it. I'm at a loss for words. I feel like my world's crumbling down. But I've got hope," Gilbert said.
Rose Hill Fire Chief Clayton Herring Jr. told NewsChannel 12 Gilbert's adult son was cooking french fries when the grease caught fire. The son and Gilbert's grandson were in the home at the time, but made it out with no injuries.
"I just want to get my life back together. Pick up where I left off," Gilbert said.
Gilbert is not sure at this point if she will try to invest in fixing the severely damaged home, or if she will try to find another place to live. Gilbert had just paid off the home and did not have insurance.
Gilbert says she has lived in that house for 20 years. She is devastated about her loss.

Drug Round-Up in Bristol Virginia
Bristol, Va. - We've learned Bristol, Virginia Police had a large drug round-up.
The city's grand jury indicted 27 people. Now they've arrested 9 of those and are looking for the others. The charges involve prescription pills, meth, and crack cocaine.
Bristol, Virginia Sgt. Steven Crawford says, at times, it seems the drug problem is on the rise. "I just don't think the problem is ever going away. Different drugs take the place of other ones usually," said Sgt. Crawford.
Sgt. Crawford tells us the city is also seeing a rise in cocaine.

Interesting new DLP evasion and theft device...
I ran across a discussion on another forum about some new data theft device. Although i'm still skeptical of it's legitimacy. The poster was introduced to it in either China or Korea. Here is his post from the forum:
Gaining device power through VGA/DVI is nothing new but the recording of RAW video stream with only 8gb/16GB of flash memory seems questionable. The other thing he mentioned is that there is no internal CPU. There are VGAtoUSB/WiFi/just about anything out there now but they require software on the machine and are rather large. And they are not cheap....
Features of this data theft product:
- Looks like a typical video adapter
- Plugs into your DVI/VGA port, has another DVI/VGA port on the other end for relay of video signals.
- Does not use USB port
- Comes with 16GB/8GB storage
- No wireless comms
- No built-in power, draws power from video output port, no energy signature when unplugged.
Mode of usage:
1. Plug this data theft product into your video output port.
2. For PCs, connect to the actual monitor for a PC for display relay.
3. For laptops, enable display to external video output port by pressing the on-board function keys.
4. Open a restricted document which you have access to but your DLP software has blocked copying, sending, printing and screen capture.
5. Scroll down the restricted document.
6. When viewing the restricted document, display signals are stored onto the data theft product's 16GB storage.
7. Remove the data theft product
8. Connect it to the decoding machine to replay the display of the restricted document, presumably outside the controlled premises.
Why is it so DANGEROUS?
a) Easy to bypass physical checks
Most guards will not suspect that this "DVI/VGA video adapter" comes with storage capabilities, especially when there is no USB connector.
b) Non-detection by OS and DLP products
This is not a USB drive.
For PCs, there is absolutely no detection whatsoever by the OS.
For laptops, the OS detects an external display, not an external storage.
DLP products do not block main or secondary video display.
Hence, DLP products are totally useless against this product.
c) Capitalise on essential business usage patterns.
Business-wise, it may not be acceptable to block access to the laptop's external video port as it will render business presentations from the laptop impossible.
d) Camera-free sites are now susceptible.
As this product has no camera or lenses, it will not be blocked by the guards for being a camera-capable device.
e) Peer detection is not easy
It can be attached to a third party's PC video output port for espionage as the PC's video output port is usually out of sight from the user.
Usage on a laptop is also inconspicuous. People sitting beside a perpetrator won't find the data theft device suspicious. This is more stealth than data theft through camera phones as the perpetrator looks normal, just handling the computer mouse and keyboard (no suspicious devices like camera phones)
f) Affordable cost
It is made and sold somewhere in Asia, your typical base of low cost production.
The video device only stores the raw VGA/DVI signals and does not encode into a video file. It still requires an adapter to extract the stored signals and a client PC software to encode the signals into a playable video file.
Gaining device power through VGA/DVI is nothing new but the recording of RAW video stream with only 8gb/16GB of flash memory seems questionable. The other thing he mentioned is that there is no internal CPU. There are VGAtoUSB/WiFi/just about anything out there now but they require software on the machine and are rather large. And they are not cheap....

What is the ambition of those in power?
"What is the truth of the ambition of those in power? If your ambition as a leader is all about you – if it's about the success you have, about the attention you get during your time, about the wealth you accumulate – then that is more likely to lead to the absence of disciplined decisions that produce great results. But if it starts with people like Anne Mulcahy who are deeply passionate about the cause, about the company, about the work … it's not really about them, but about something bigger they are going to create that is going to go long beyond them … whether it be music or a building or a set of ideas or a company. All this flows from that one root question: What is motivating your ambition? When you have the power, what is it ultimately all about? Is it about YOU or something bigger than you?"
– Jim Collins, author of How The Mighty Fall, in an interview with Charlie Rose.

just wondering what all of you love to watch most?
i personally love to watch basketball how about you guys?
None, I really can't understand why people watch it. It's fun to do sport, but watch?
What I call football (soccer) followed by baseball then rugby union.
Koodledrum - Balnazzar EU - 85 Priest - Retired.
I play hockey...
Out of these options? Football > Soccer > Hockey > Basketball > Baseball.
American Football has my heart.
Formula 1
Out of those options, none. The only ball sport I watch is Rugby, and only international.

I voted football, but my most watched is nascar
Basketball if I want to enjoy the game, baseball if I want to get drunk.
...although, I do drink a lot when I watch basketball. Hmm.
Don't generally like to watch any I like to participate in them.
The only sports I watch are Formula One (although not every race), and Icehockey when there's a world championship/olympic games going on.
Football! I think it has the most awesome fanbase of all the sports and to me it's simply the most exciting to watch.
American Football I guess. As I have grown older I have gradually watched less and less sports. I used to love watching baseball and basketball too, but football is really the only one I still watch regularly.
WoW having more subs than SWTOR is the same thing as Justin Bieber having more youtube plays than Tupac. Just because its more popular doesn't mean its good.
Warcraft Lore has gone from one of the most vast and interesting stories in all of gaming to a bad Thrall Fanfic by Chris Metzen.
SWTOR Referral link: http://www.swtor.com/r/2MpjV9 7 free days and other free stuff.
Cricket. Love watching and playing, nothing like spending the day with good mates and a few beers watching the game.
In before Americans asking what is Cricket. jks haha
Hockey if I'm only watching. If I'm at a bar or hanging out with friends or have the game on the radio while I do something else, then football > baseball > *.
Basketball is only fun during playoffs when both teams actually play defense, and soccer is equal to football/baseball to me. Rugby is ok, but we don't get much televised here in the States.
Tennis. You left out tennis. Tennis.
None of these. I watch swimming though (as I'm a competitive swimmer myself), but that's about it. Well, maybe some football (soccer), but only some championships (Austria is kind of one of the worst football nations out there, despite the fact it's extremely popular...).
Rugby, NRL being by sport of choice.

Jesse Eisenberg is earning his wings. The actor voices Blu, a rare Spix's macaw, in the 3-D animated film Rio, now playing. Blu has lived a very cozy, sheltered life in Moosehead, Minnesota, with his human owner Linda. In fact, his life has been so sheltered that he never had to learn to fly! When Blu discovers there's another Spix's macaw out there—a female named Jewel—he decides to take the ultimate leap and head to Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, to meet her.
But as Blu soon learns, it will take more than being the same species for a love connection with the fiercely independent Jewel (voiced by Anne Hathaway). Things get even more complicated when the pair are bird-napped. Now chained together, the two must make a great escape before they are illegally sold to the highest bidder. It's an unforgettable adventure that will change their lives forever.
TFK spoke to Eisenberg about his feathery new role. Read on to see what he had to say about his first animated-film.
How did you get inside Blu's head for the role?
When I first met with director Carlos Saldanha, who is actually from Rio, he showed me pictures and early animation of Blu. Blu is such a wonderful, sweet character. I tried to think about what it would be like for this bird—who was raised in a tiny, snowy town in Minnesota—to come down to Rio and experience this great culture shock.
Do you see yourself in Blu in any other ways?
At the beginning of the movie, Blu is living in Minnesota, and he doesn't know how to fly; he also has no need to fly. When Linda takes him to Rio, a very vertical city, he is forced to deal with his fear and learn how to fly. It's such a gradual and sweet story of Blu discovering who he really is. I fell in love with his journey.
I had a similar experience growing up in the northern part of the United States. The first time I left the country I went to Venezuela, which borders Brazil. It was a culture shock in a wonderful way. Just like Blu, I went into it cautiously and with an open mind. I tried to fit into the culture, rather than have the culture adjust to me.
How does the Rio de Janeiro that we see in the movie compare to the real city?
When I first saw some of the clips, I thought they had created this fictitious version of Rio, almost like a mythical Atlantis, because the images in the movie are so beautiful. But what I discovered as soon as I landed there is that the city was actually recreated almost building for building on film. It's astounding what the animators did. The world that they created is not only beautiful and lush and 3-D, but also accurate.
This is your first animated feature film. How was the experience?
It's very different from doing a live-action movie. I love the freedom of having a lot less pressure. When you do a live-action movie you wake up at 5:00 a.m., you work for five months, and the days are very long. You have to think more about how you're appearing on camera, and what you're doing with your body and your face and your gestures. With this movie, because I was just using my voice, I found it to be very freeing. I would close my eyes, take off my shoes, and just imagine myself in these very strange situations.
It's definitely not love at first sight for Blu and Jewel, and playing Lionel Richie songs to impress her doesn't seem to do the trick. What song do you think would set the mood better?
[Laughs] You know, when I'm in a romantic setting, I exclusively listen to National Public Radio, because I look great by comparison.
What qualities do you think Blu looks for in a mate?
Blu has one very specific criteria, which is that his mate has to be a blue Spix's macaw. Blu's an endangered species, so he gets sent down to Rio to mate with the last female of his kind. I don't think his first choice would be Jewel, because as soon as he meets her, she attacks him! But they grow to love each other over the course of a long, difficult journey.
Blu never learned to fly. What's one thing you never learned to do that you'd like to learn now?
There are so many things I would like to learn . . . I live in New York City, so to get around that city requires a very specific set of skills. I ride a bicycle because that seems to be the more efficient way to get around. Blu lives in Minnesota where he doesn't need to fly. He's taken care of by a human. He lives kind of like a human. But when he gets to Rio, flying's the only way to get around for a bird. So he has to make a very tough decision at the end of the movie to face that fear in order to save the bird he loves.
Blu might not be able to fly, but he's got rhythm. Who's the better dancer: you or Blu?
Well, Blu was born in Rio, so he has samba [a popular dance that began in Brazil] in his blood, but doesn't realize it. Now that he's back in Rio, that spirit starts to take over, and he becomes really inspired by samba music. In a way, it reminds him of who he is and who he's supposed to be.
So . . . you're saying that Blu is the better dancer?
[Laughs] I don't know, we never had a competition.
Jewel helps Blu with his flying lessons, but what do you think Blu teaches Jewel in the process?
Jewel has a lot of anger. She's a very hard character. She's very angry at humans and she doesn't trust them. And Blu trusts humans above everything else because he was raised by Linda, who is his best friend. Blu teaches Jewel a very hard lesson: to learn to trust humans.
There are so many colorful characters in the film. Who were your favorites?
My favorite is Luiz, a bulldog voiced by Tracy Morgan. Luiz runs a metal shop and he's just a hysterical character. He's so sincere, and yet he drools so badly that all these other characters avoid him. But he's so sweet, and he has a sweet journey through the movie. He eventually winds up on a float at Carnival, dancing while wearing this ridiculous hat made of fruit.
What kinds of messages do you think kids will take away from the film?
My favorite part of this movie, frankly, is the message it has about protecting the environment, and more specifically protecting endangered species. I come from a family of animal rights activists. So we were thrilled that this movie—which is entertaining and has great music and a crazy adventure and great humor—can also teach kids a lesson about protecting the environment and protecting these very wonderful and endangered animals.
If there were a Rio 2, would you want to reprise your role as Blu?
The movie has such a wonderful, satisfying ending. I couldn't even imagine where else they could go with it.

I may now join the club. I have been gluten, soy, dairy, legume and sugar free for 3 months. I've had bread on 2 occasions since then, rice also on 2 occasions. But for the most I don't eat any of that anymore.

Re: THE gluten-free thread
Interesting...can I ask how you were diagnosed with these Intolerances ?
#946 Tue 15 Jan 13 9:07pm
Re: THE gluten-free thread
I had an inmunology specialist go through the whole of my medical history since birth. She and some collegues then proceded to take blood tests and matched a repeating pattern with symptoms that have been present my whole life, especially certain types of infections. These led them to believe these intollerances were actually causing my immune system to breakdown until I finally contracted my illness and it became chronic. Now eliminating all these foods has become part of a process to repair my immune system and hopefully take me off my drugs as I respond naturally. this will lead me to no longer have to control my illness with meds but with a restored immune system.
I actually have many less symptoms since I no longer have dairy and gluten I feel much better.
I'm pretty satisfied as the examinations where so thourough every part of my body was studied with extreme detail, seriously up to the point of embarrassing. But it really was worth it.

Black Forest Fire winds down
Recovery, investigations continue
BLACK FOREST, Colo. - With the Black Forest Fire at full containment and evacuations to be lifted Saturday morning, the focus shifts from firefighting to recovery and rebuilding.
"I'm tremendously relieved," said Naomi Ironwing, a fire evacuee. "It may be a safer place to live now. Mother Nature has done some mitigation on her own."
Authorities on Thursday held their last daily briefing on the fire that started nine days ago and destroyed 509 homes, left two people dead and forced the evacuation of thousands of residents.
All evacuations end at 8 a.m. Saturday, said El Paso County Sheriff Terry Maketa, and a strong law-enforcement presence will remain in Black Forest.
"We still have homes outside that central corridor that are burned," he said. "Those people haven't had time to work through insurance or sift through their property, so we still want to protect that."
Rich Harvey, incident commander for the fire, said the zone was 100 percent contained as of 6 p.m. Thursday. But he emphasized that hot spots remain, which could start other fires in the current hot, dry conditions.
Still, many evacuees are just glad to be going home -- and thankful that their homes didn't burn.
"We don't have water, we don't have some utilities," said fire evacuee Jenny Abernathy. "We have a lot of outbuildings burned. Fences are down. But the house is there. We're really excited."
Authorities have ruled out lightning and other natural causes in starting the fire. They'll now investigate whether it started intentionally or by accident.

2 arrested on prostitution charges
IDAHO FALLS, Idaho - Two women were arrested on prostitution charges in Idaho Falls this week.
Chrishaunna Tolliver, 22, of Seattle, was arrested around 1:30 p.m.Tuesday after undercover officers made contact with her in a room at the Hotel on the Falls. Officers said she had agreed to exchange sexual favors for cash. Police also found marijuana in the room.
Tolliver was arrested on charges of prostitution and misdemeanor possession of marijuana.
Another woman in the room, identified as Brittany Davis, 26, of Las Vegas, was arrested on a charge of frequenting a place where drugs were being used.
Around 1:40 p.m. Wednesday, Anjineatte Welch, 29, of Orangeville, Calif., was found in another room at the hotel under similar conditions. Welch was arrested on charges of prostitution and misdemeanor possession of marijuana.
Bonneville County Sgt. Jeff Edwards said the women had placed ads in the "escort" section of Backpage.com.
The arrests were part of an investigation by a joint Idaho Falls-Bonneville County law enforcement investigation unit.

When living in an apartment, it's a little harder to plan a holiday party since you have to consider the amount of space you have and the number of guests and activities you can comfortably fit into that space .
Why not take some of the party-planning stress off of yourself by designing a party theme that's so much fun that your guests won't even notice the close quarters? But make it easy on yourself too! Here are a few examples of themes you might consider:
Love that ugly old sweater
Like the time-worn holiday decorations we pull out every year, we probably all have an old, ugly Christmas sweater tucked away somewhere. We know we should give it away, but our favorite aunt gave it to us and we can't quite part with it.
Why not unpack that sweater and wear it proudly? Host an ugly-sweater party! Ask your guests to break out their ugly holiday sweaters and wear them, too. Add a little more fun by holding a contest to see who has the most creative/festive sweater, and, of course, the ugliest one!
The elephants come out to play
Everyone loves a cheap and cheesy gift, right? Why not throw a party with a white-elephant-gift-exchange theme? Invite your guests and ask them to bring something from home that they'd be willing to give away. Remember, the cheesier the better! The gift exchange works this way – guests choose a number from a hat to see who goes first. That first person picks a gift, opens it, and shows it to everyone. Then in turn, the guests choose to either unwrap a new gift or to "steal" a previously unwrapped gift. If a gift is "stolen," the person who had their gift taken from them gets to unwrap another unopened gift. The game continues until all the presents have been opened.
It's all a crock
Maybe you'd just like to have some friends over for dinner, without the added commotion of Christmas sweaters or party games? But the thought of making dinner for everyone in your small kitchen isn't exactly appealing. You don't need to go to all that work! Just have each of your guests bring a crockpot dish to share. Maybe some of them could bring a mini-crock, filled with an appetizer or a dip. Others could bring a full-sized crockpot filled with their special chili, or a delicious, hearty soup. There might even be someone who's willing to whip up a tasty dessert in their crockpot. All you'll need to provide is some warm bread and cold drinks.
With all the guests bringing dinner, you'll be able to relax and enjoy the party, too. And when they all go home, your kitchen will be just as tidy as it was before they arrived and there won't even be one pan to wash in your sink!
Holiday entertaining can be fun and easy, even if it is in close quarters. So, if you have an idea for a great apartment party theme that we haven't thought of, let us know. We all love holiday parties!

My oct. Sp will receive amino seam-fix ripper I got today. Can't wait for the sign ups!!!
Congrats to the two Grandma's I have a great-grandson due any day now... My youngest Grandchild is 21...LOL So looking forward to more great grand's Have 3 and the one on his way... Quiltnut4never guess we can always use one more seam ripper....Good idea that one in particular.. Gail is home from the hospital and still on the mend, serious surgery, but she is coming along...
Hearing happens when the ears and the brain team up, but listening happens with the ears of the heart.
I collect Angels and homemade ornaments
TY Rosemary, and I can't wait to see a pic of your great grandson!
"I collect wind chimes."
October signup is now up. Have 2 Dr. appts. today so fit it in early. I had to drop 979 keystrokes to make it fit ( another Quilting Board change.) In all the time I have posted the swap have never had to change it, other than the dates and then sometimes I didn't change all of them lol.
I came home yesterday to find a fantastic package waiting for me to open from Knitette. I was so excited to see all the goodies. Best of all was her letter describing Aberdeen and all the interesting facts. She included two half-yard cuts of beautiful floral fabric (I know how precious that was to her) and a wonderful piece of cloth with Scottish themes. I have a friend from Scotland and will be making potholders for her and me with that piece -- too special to cut up and want to highlite each and every picture! She sent some shortbread cookies and a special "biscuit", all of which arrived in one piece. My husband, who has Scot lineage a couple generations back and has learning to play the bagpipes on his "bucket list", just loved the letter and the travel brochures. The thread and tweezers found an immediate home in my sewing basket. She also made a really cute owl hotpad, which I really love; and she included the pattern!!! Also note the little bag of safety pin markers. You have no idea how much I needed them. Paper stickers just don't stick. Great idea. Thank you again for a very special treat.

Nightclub fire kills 233 in Brazil
By Ana Flor
SANTA MARIA, Brazil (Reuters) - A nightclub fire killed at least 233 people in southern Brazil early on Sunday when a band's pyrotechnics show set the building ablaze and fleeing partygoers stampeded toward blocked and overcrowded exits in the ensuing panic, officials said.
The blaze in the university town of Santa Maria was ignited by sparks from pyrotechnics used by the band for visual effects. They set fire to soundproofing on the ceiling and the club rapidly filled with toxic smoke, local fire officials said.
Most of those who died were suffocated by fumes, fire brigade Sergeant Robson Muller told Reuters. Others were crushed in the stampede.
"Smoke filled the place instantly, the heat became unbearable," survivor Murilo Tiescher, a medical student, told GloboNews TV. "People could not find the only exit. They went to the toilet thinking it was the exit and many died there."
Fire officials said at least one exit was locked and that club bouncers, who at first thought those fleeing were trying to skip out on bar tabs, initially blocked patrons from leaving. The security staff relented only when they saw flames engulfing the ceiling.
The tragedy, in a packed venue in one of Brazil's most prosperous states, comes as the country scrambles to improve safety, security and logistical shortfalls ahead of the 2014 World Cup soccer tournament and the 2016 Olympics, both intended to showcase the economic advances and first-world ambitions of Latin America's largest nation.
In Santa Maria, a city of more than 275,000 people, rescue workers and weary officials wept alongside family and friends of the victims at a local gymnasium being used as a makeshift morgue.
"It's the saddest, saddest day of my life," said Neusa Soares, the mother of one of those killed, 22-year-old Viviane Tolio Soares. "I never thought I would have to live to see my girl go away." Continued...

Now 17:52 in OOL.
I wonder where are you now (somewhere above the Ocean)and what are you doing.
For sure you enjyoing the V-Aust Bar!!
I miss you very much but have a great time.
Thank you very much for the nice card... makes me cry.... I am so happy.
First Blog Entry
Loading Map
It is a cold and rainy day as I type this, a great day to focus on the trip that is only about 18 days from kicking off. Glen will be pleasantly surprised to see that I have actually got online and entered something. I got the latest JJJ Hottest 100 CD today to add to our music list and started looking for Australian bandanas (which may be a little harder than I thought)
All flights are booked except my domestic return flights to LAX, Glen has bought and taken care of the second bike so all the main things are in place. We have a great route planned and an easy first three days planned where we can relax and go over the finer details of the trip. A big thanks must go to Lisa and Keiko for letting us embark on this great modern day adventure and also our workplaces for the time off.
You're bloody right mate I am surprised
As I type this a quick Jacksonville (JAX) summer thunderstorm has sprung up and is dumping a sun shower as I write this one handed on the iPhone. It's ironic that it has come down to this - Lisa is just about to drop me at the H-D motorcycle shop to pick up your bike (new tyres and front brakes). So the bike will be in the garage no less than 30 hrs prior to your arrival. Cutting it close....
That said, I echo your sentiments for our beautiful wives - this trip of a lifetime wouldn't have been possible without their support, faith, understanding and patience.
The rain has stopped, Lisa's back in the car and we're off to the H-D dealership. The trip has begun.......
Post your own travel photos for friends and family More Pictures
Now 17:52 in OOL.
Sounds like a magnificent trip planned. Stay safe gents and look forward to hearing of the adventures. Will make for great train reading in the mornings.
Hi Cliff,
My freinds describe me as: Cliff - Loyal, Witty, Stubborn. Mate, is stubborn a bit like argumentative??
Hope you can survive on Calafornian wine. I look forward to your updates..
Take it easy, rider.
I'm farkin jealous already boys!!!!!! It will be amazing no doubt.
Bit of background about Cliff, we grew up next door to each other and the boy has a long history with cycles (motor and bi). Motorbikes are in the blood his old man Billy used to ride a BSA with a side car after WWII. His brother Neil was a hell raiser with his mate Charlie and I think he rode the gnarly Honda 750four an absolute beast and from memory Charlie rode a Trumpy!!!
Suffice to say he was surrounded by bikes..
he's a bit of a bush mechanic too, he had a brand new Malvern Star dragster back in the 70's and then BMX came on the scene. Well he wanted tange forks and if he couldn't get them he was going to straigthen out the forks he had. So he brought the bike over to my place and we took the front forks off and beat them straight with a hammer in the gutter. I'm still living that one down, whenever I see Billy he still brings it up. He was probably and quite rightly pissed to the max, that poor brand new Malvern Star.
Not long after that Cliffs' mum Fay went on Casino10 a game show where she absolutely cleaned up. Guess who gota new BMX with tuffs and all the goodies!!!!!! lucky prick.
Then there was the purchase of the first motorbike which was nearly a tragedy in itself!!!! Cliff and I were looking in bike shops and he found the sexiest 500cc bike (race replica) two stroke widow maker!!!!! He was all geed up to buy it but luckily asked his brother Neil along to have a look. NO fucking way was the comment.Cliff bought the much tamer GSX-R400 a great bike.....
And everything else since has been a toy racer, so it must be said maybe the geezer is ready to slow it down a little after all these years....
Have a great time (and you know what they say, what happens on tour stays on tour ;-) )
the green eyed monster
I remember being doubled on that ZX6R when you first got that beastie!!!! We took the on ramp from Pacific Pines onto the highway. We hit loose stuff on the roundabout from a concrete truck or something, you back off and she slid a little then you gunned it and pulled it up straight, I knew then this was some piece of machinery. Before I knew it we were running down that on-ramp, Cliff with a fist full, I pulled my helmet out from the stream line and I saw the speedo pushing 230 and we were still accelerating, the force of the air was so strong I decided for my own lifesake it was better to not worry about how fast!!!!!! Just hold on and enjoy the F1-11 style acceleration and speed
Hi Guys
I'm just in from work and I was gagging for a little commentary cause it's the 17th here and then I realised that you guys are behind us and today is still coming over there!!!!
Anyway, when you are ready there are those of us with regular lives waiting to live vicariously through your adventure..
Thanks a lot for the posts all, we really appreciate them and that you take the time to post them. Damian, outstanding brother you really gave me a massive smile with your comments, OUTSTANDING MATE!!! P.S. It was your idea to modify my malvern star forks!!

Wolf's ad resonated loudly in Pennsylvania primary
HARRISBURG, Pa. - Tom Wolf's campaign ad came across as warm and fuzzy, but had the electoral power of an uppercut.
Pennsylvania's election season could easily be remembered years from now for the unassuming, 60-second campaign TV ad that hit the airwaves Jan. 30 and introduced Wolf's campaign for governor to the vast majority of voting Pennsylvanians.
It told of the Jeep he drives. His volunteerism with the Peace Corps in India. His Ph.D. from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. The forklift he operated at his family business. His practice of sharing profits with employees. His service as the state's secretary of revenue.
"What can we say? Our dad's a little different," his older daughter, Katie, said.
"A lot different," his younger daughter, Sarah, corrected.
Then, Wolf walks in, leans between his daughters with his elbows on the backs of their chairs and tells the camera, "I'm Tom Wolf, and I'll be a different kind of governor."
The ad has defined the expensive and hotly contested race for governor. It helped the little-known Wolf establish a large lead in a crowded Democratic Party primary race and a likability that pollsters say made him impervious to millions of dollars in attack ads by primary foes and the Republican he hopes to unseat, Gov. Tom Corbett.
When Wolf declared his candidacy early in 2013, he also pledged to sink $10 million of his own money into his primary campaign, making him an immediate threat, despite his near-anonymity with voters. The ads put the money to work.
"For an ad to have such an immediate impact and for people to stop me in the street and say, 'Who is this guy?' and that happens across the state?" said Marcel Groen, the chairman of the Montgomery County Democratic Party. "I've never seen an ad that moved the numbers and had such an impact as this one did."
Wolf's cash advantage allowed him to begin airing daily TV ads seven weeks before his next primary competitor. Trying to catch up are U.S. Rep. Allyson Schwartz, state Treasurer Rob McCord and former Clinton White House environmental adviser Katie McGinty.
Also on tap in Tuesday's primary is the race among five candidates for lieutenant governor — former U.S. Rep. Mark Critz of Johnstown, Harrisburg City Councilman Brad Koplinski, Washington County state Rep. Brandon Neuman, Bradford County Commissioner Mark Smith and Philadelphia state Sen. Michael Stack — and several contests for party nominations to run for Congress.
That includes contests to determine the Democratic and Republican Party nominees to run for the 13th District seat in southeastern Pennsylvania being vacated by Schwartz. The voter registration in the district leans heavily Democrat, making the winner of the party's four-way primary fight the likely successor to Schwartz.
Corbett and Lt. Gov. Jim Cawley have no opposition in the primary, though that hasn't kept their campaign or the state Republican Party from attacking the Democrats and, in particular, Wolf.
Three and a half months later and Wolf had a lead in polls that pollsters say requires the most dramatic comeback in modern Pennsylvania politics to overcome.
"I cannot recall another first-time candidate, if you will, who was able to create such a positive image through his rollout campaign," said Gerald Lawrence, the chairman of the Delaware County Democratic Party.
Assuming Wolf is able to hold off McCord, McGinty and Schwartz, he'll go into the general election cycle with credibility in the party. For one, he avoided attacking his Democratic primary foes. And while he had been virtually unknown to the voting public, he was far better known within the party's political circles.
When he retired a first time from day-to-day control of his company in 2006, he began donating more heavily to Democratic candidates and causes. He served briefly in former Gov. Ed Rendell's cabinet and then began touring the state to meet Democratic Party officials and lay the groundwork for a run for governor in the 2010 election.
When Wolf's company hit the brink of bankruptcy amid the effects of the recession, he returned to take the reins and abandoned his nascent gubernatorial run. Four years later, his company recovered enough that Wolf considered running in 2014, and the rescue of his company became a core theme in his campaign.
Rick Daugherty, the Lehigh County Democratic Party chairman, said people who watched Wolf's ads saw him as a nice and capable person.
"And that resonates with people," he said.

text: Is MAQS as easy to use and as effective as the advertisement says? I used Hopguard last Fall, but did not like the messy strips or opening every hive three weeks in a row. This Spring I used Apivar and it was easy to use, but I had to leave it in the hives for 45 days. I like the idea of being able to leave the supers on in September so the bees can fill them and I will leave 2 deeps and a super for each hive this Winter.

이 호스트의 또 다른 숙소후기
우리는이보기 Appartement 8 사람들과 함께있었습니다. 만 반면에 4 명 광석 대한 공간 의자 및 테이블 - 위치 브로드 웨이 등 원 선, 5 AV와 같은 다른 흥미로운 장소보기 Appartement 당신이 조금 개선해야 8명 깨끗한하지만 작았에 큰 빠른 단계이었다. 아무런 문제가 전혀 - 그들은 한 번 수건을 변경할 매우 유연했다. 만 정말 부정적인 점은 1 욕실과 화장실이었다 그러나 이것은 우리에게 전에 알려졌다. 조금 오래된 화장실과 샤워 모두는 한 번 차단되었습니다. 친절하고 깨끗한하지만 끝에는 8 사람들과 거기에 머물 유연해야합니다.
We´ve been with 8 People in this appartement. Location was great quick steps to broadway and other interesting places like circle line, 5th AV etc. Appartement was clean but small for 8 people you have to improve a bit - chair and table for 4 persons only on the other hand no space for ore. They were very flexible to change towels once - no problem at all. Only really negative point was 1 bathroom and toilet but this was known before from us. Everything a bit old and toilet and shower was blocked once. At the end nice and clean but you must be flexible to stay there with 8 people.
Very good location, close to theater district, high line, several subway lines.....rooms were as expected but sofa bed not. Arrangements to get into the apartment OK. Thanks Mo.
This property needs a bit of work. Good location
Wimdu customer service was excellent. The host took a long time (worryingly so) to get in touch but the key pick up and service at the office was easy enough but it's 24 blocks south of the apartment. The apartment itself is in need of redecorating or the photos updating. The plug sockets in the kitchen trip out so we had to plug the kettle in under the dining area table! Bedsheets were old and one of my friends found a hair in the bed before she had slept in it :-( location perfect and close to delis bars restaurants and Starbucks. Water always hot for showers. Bath mat and spares would have been helpful having 7 people for one bathroom
I really liked the place I selected. HOWEVER, On the day before we flew I was informed by "Mo" that the place I selected and paid for was "unavailable". He gave me the option of a VERY DIRTY APARTMENT THAT BASICALLY SUCKED ASS. There was mildew all over the bathroom. It was as if it had never been cleaned. I was there for 10 days and didn't feel clean once the entire time. There was space for six really dirty people to sleep, but GUESS WHAT? There are only two of us!!! So all the space was wasted. The TV service didn't work at all and yes, I was in NYC, but there are times I need to look at the news to see what's happening. THAT wasn't possible. There was crap left from previous tenants and I suppose from the owners of this dump. IT WAS BAIT AND SWITCH!!! I frikking hated every second I was in this stupid disease ridden dump.
The stay was dreadful. Drafts in the flat. No heating (in November !!!). We were supposed to stay 6 nights, we stayed 2, we tooked refuge in a hotel... Humidity, mold. Painting hides poverty. Owners didn't want to give the money back. One room didn't have window.
The apartment served us well during our recent stay in New York. The location is excellent, nice affluent area with lovely restaurants and bars close by. The Subway stop is only one block away on 79th st and this leads to all attractions. The apartment is relatively spacious, 2 of the bedrooms are much bigger than the other 2 and some of the plug sockets and air con units don't work, Wi-Fi is flakey but other than this we would highly recommend the apartment, it was extremely clean with plenty of towels and bedding.
A perfect week in the city which never sleep...
2 minutes by foot of time square, 5 minutes of the 5th avenue, what more can you ask for?...
We stay at 4 adults and a baby on the flat and the size was perfect.
Raphael and his colleague always answer to all the mail and the service to pick up off the keys or leave the luggages on the last day was very appreciable!
For our next trip in NYC we call upon to Raphael and Casanova Condos for sure! So don't hesitate to!
Hallo Everybody!
First of all, we were surprised to find out, that the keys needed to be picked up in another place. We asked to meet at the apartment as we want to be sure everything is clean and work properly. Host did not accept our proposal. Now we know the reason.
The apartment is a nightmare!. It is DIRTY!!!! Hair and spots all over the place (no wonder, they do not have a vacuum cleaner, only an old and dirty broom). There are 2 ½ bathroom, each of them were in terrible conditions, you will find black spots in the showers (fungus). Doors cannot be looked up as the door knobs are broken.
We (ten people) spend money buying cleaning stuff, and several hours cleaning the apartment. It was not possible to contact the office, as they went home by then.
Next day, we called the office and explained the situation. A lady was sent to clean, but without the most necessary tools to do it professionally, as written in the homepage. There were not enough bed clothes, dishes and pans.
Besides all the dirt, following appliances were not working properly: Washing machine, internet, and AIR CONDITIONING. We would like to mention, that the outside temperature in New York was around 36 and 40 °C.
Dealing with the people of "Casanova Condos" was very unpleasant. They are very rough. We were insulted. Our host "Raphael" never showed up. The manager offered us $400.00 for the cleaning, and all other costs we had (taxis to the office and several calls to Spain and Germany looking for support with WINDU). We never received the money. The explanation was that we broke 4 beds. We were not allowed to go back into the apartment to proof this was not the true.
If you care about cleanliness and good maintenance of the place you want to stay, this is not the place for YOU. We checked at the Consumer Office of New York City and found out "Casanova Condo" is not recommended as a serious business partner

Kylie Youmans has spent her summers in the sun, studying for summer courses, and making time for a host of hobbies. When she is not studying, she is a CU Student Ambassador, a Young Life College leader, and a student blogger for the Office of Admissions. The senior is set to graduate in May with a degree in psychology and a minor in education.
"I am a woman of many hobbies — I love to be active, try new recipes, do arts and crafts, and seek out little restaurants in Boulder," she said. "Summer classes allowed me to take 12-14 credits each semester for the second half of my college experience, and that allowed me to participate in way more activities throughout the year."
Youmans credits Summer Session courses with keeping her on track to graduate in four years. Additionally, Summer Session provided some of Youmans' most memorable CU-Boulder courses, including Shakespeare for Non-Majors and Modern Literature. Both classes offered course formats that are unique to summer, such as Maymester, an intensive session that allows students to earn up to three credits in three weeks.
"Modern Lit was a Maymester class, so we were asked to read a novel every two days," she said. "I would take my book to the pool and read while enjoying the sunshine.
"In my Shakespeare class, we got to watch the movie renditions of Shakespeare's plays and analyze the director's perspective on the classic plays. We also got to watch a Shakespeare play at the Colorado Shakespeare Festival because it coincided with our class, and it was awesome to get to experience the play live."
Summer Session made a lasting impression on Youmans, and she recommends summer courses to her peers.
"Boulder in the summer is a magical place — the weather is wonderful and you never run out of things to do," she said. "Summer class is an awesome opportunity to take classes individually so you can focus on fewer at a time. The classes are also smaller, so you will get to know your professor and classmates well."
Registration for Summer Session begins March 5. Students can choose from more than 500 courses and online courses offered over a series of terms. To learn more, students can meet with advisors from every college and school at the Summer Session Information Fair on Monday, March 10 from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. in the UMC Gallery.

"NeNe Leakes is one intimidating mama! The Atlanta native was sporting a tiny yellow bikini in Miami over the weekend — and looking fantastic."
What is looking fantastic, when you can see three sets of rolls, her boobs are falling out of the top, and her jeans are so tight she can't button them??? Covering up may have been the better bet.

Thank you for posting this! I've been squashing them in the sun, vacuuming them and trapping them in those precarious top bar oil traps (which do work if you use enough of 'em). I so can't wait to try this. While not traumatized at the site of these buggers, I do take extreme joy in seeing them trapped and killed, I must admit.
Apparently the felt backing doesn't cause any problem for the bees themselves, or is separating the felt from the bees a requirement?

Bailey, the smiling dog
Harry Willet once wrote, "I miss the wagging Lab tail; I miss the plaintive pleading wail; I miss the wistful loving (and smiling, my addiction) glance; I miss the circling welcome dance!!"
"Bailey's Irish Creme of St. Patrick" was put to sleep on Friday, Feb. 8, at the Crosslake Veterinary Clinic, due to the complications of a fast-moving tumor on his spleen. Thanks to the attentive, loving care of Drs. Rachel and Kyle and their staff in so many ways then and over the years.
Bailey was the only dog I ever had or saw that had the biggest smile. Folks who would meet him for the first time would think he was "snarling," but I would quickly say, "No, watch his tail and rear-end wagging away!" I never heard him growl or snarl at anyone in his almost 13 years. He was a gentle, loving, happy and a smiling dog. Because of that wonderful disposition, he was a great companion that gave me more happiness than I ever deserved.
Bailey never barked except when I showed him the bumpers or dummies for throwing off the dock. Then he would bark, whine and squeal wildly until I started throwing. He got so excited and was tireless in jumping off the dock and retrieving, along with Drake.
Bailey was "all business" when it came to duck and goose hunting. He was ever alert, watching and seeing birds long before the rest of us. Retrieving the ducks and geese was his passion that he reluctantly passed on to my younger dog, "Drake of Crosslake," just this last fall. He would also give us that disdainful look when we would miss birds!
Do dogs go to Heaven? I don't know, but I sure hope so! Helen Keller once wrote, "What we have enjoyed we can never lose. All that we love deeply becomes a part of us." The theologian, Martin Marty, addressed this issue by writing, "No one knows what heaven is like, but you must believe what God has in store for you includes everything you love." I'm counting on seeing my black lab, "Cinder of St. Peter," my first yellow lab "Gabriel of Guardian Angels," and now "Bailey's Irish Creme of St. Patrick" (all named after my three pastorates). Included in this reflection (at the end) is one of my favorite reflections in regard to my/our hopes and beliefs for our pets, "The Rainbow Bridge."
"Grief is the price we pay for having loved," wrote a British psychologist. Thanks to all of you who loved, knew and cared for Bailey in any way for his almost 13 years.
Bailey was a unique companion (but aren't they all to us?) who smiled and brought so many smiles to so many of us so often. For this I am most grateful to God and, like God (dog spelled backwards is God), Bailey was/is unconditional in his love and faithfulness to me/us all. Not accidental in that spelling, I believe.
Come spring, when the ground finally thaws out, I will bury his ashes next to my other two "boys," Cinder and Gabe, by their big kennel in my back yard in Crosslake. Drake will watch them from the kennel, soon to be joined by another pup in the spring of 2014. Little does he know what awaits him and me once again, but I look forward to it.
As I walked away from the vet clinic on Friday morning, Feb. 8, and I anticipated calling folks about "Smiling Bailey," In wondered as Sam Venable once wrote, "... if that baseball in my throat would ever go away," yes, the price we pay for having loved!
The Rainbow Bridge
Author unknown
"There is a bridge connecting heaven and earth. It is called the Rainbow Bridge because of its many colors. Just this side of the Rainbow Bridge there is a land of meadows, hills and valleys with lush green grass.
"When a beloved pet dies, the pet goes to this place. There is always food and water and warm spring weather. The old and frail animals are young again. Those who are maimed are made whole again. They play all day with each other.
"There is only on thing missing. They are not with their special person who loved them on earth. So, each day they run and play until the day comes when one suddenly stops playing and looks up. The nose twitches. The ears are up. The eyes are staring. And this one suddenly runs from the group.
"You have been seen, and when you and your special friend meet, you take him or her in your arms and embrace Your face is kissed again and again and again, and you look once more into the eyes of your trusting pet.
"Then you cross the Rainbow Bridge together, never again to be separated."
(Father Mike Arms is a retired priest from the Archdiocese of St. Paul/Minneapolis living in Crosslake in his family's original 1935 cabin. He helps at local parishes as needed from Christmas through Labor Day but not during the fall duck, goose and Vikings season.)

text: Shyness is a mental condition that almost all the children may experience in one time or other. However, there are some children who experience shyness to an alarming degree. The shy children usually are more keen to observe their playmates rather than participating or joining others. They prefer to keep silent, especially when they are in an unfamiliar environment. They refuse to talk to others. If your preschooler is shy about mixing with other children of your age group, you should take care to counsel him so that he can get over this habitual inhibition. You should be careful much before you plan to admit in a school, because, a shy child will be reluctant to enter a new surrounding like a classroom, unless he is escorted by a parent. In the school, shy children may face many difficulties as they will be reluctant to join group activities like dancing, singing or playing. The presence of any unfamiliar individual will make them withdraw in to themselves or they may just stare at the ground.

Obamacare in crosshairs at GOP Senate forum
Five seeking to take on Jeff Merkley square off in Bend
For the first time, the five GOP candidates hoping to unseat Sen. Jeff Merkley, D-Ore., met Tuesday night in a joint forum hosted by the Deschutes County Republican Party.
They are state Rep. Jason Conger of Bend, Portland pediatric neurosurgeon Monica Wehby, Portland attorney Tim Crawley, former Linn County GOP Chair Jo Rae Perkins and Mark Callahan from Salem.
The candidates answered questions in a packed room at the Shilo Inn on topics that ranged from the timber industry to foreign policy.
But the No 1 issue for all candidates was governmental overreach --especially when it comes to Obamacare.
Conger: "We just got a front-row seat to watch the beginning of the train wreck that is Obamacare. The good news is that America is ready for a new direction. If you listen carefully, you can actually hear the soft sound of the tide turning. I think in 2014, that sound is going to become a roar from the electorate."
Wheby: "The main concern I have about the health care law is it destroying the doctor patient relationship, which is key."
Perkins: "We are throwing out a plan that was not broken -- it needed a tune up, that's what it needed. I am a fan of high-deductible catastrophic care insurance. Save some money. Let's get rid of the Obamacare Act."
Crawley: "When it has the opportunity to make uniform standards across the country, it will do so."
Callahan: "The Affordable Care Act, or Obamacare, is not choice. The Affordable Care Act, or Obamacare, is tyranny."
It was still "friendly fire" among the candidates Tuesday night, but that might change as the primary moves closer.
On May 20th, voters will decide which candidate will run against Merkley in the November general election.
Whoever it will be has some fundraising catching up to do: Merkley already has raised $3 million.

Heroic modern name derived from the ancient Greek hero "Demetrios the vigorous", who in his legendary journeys, defeated Flatulos the eight nippled beast of Mycenae and neutered the Cycladic ogre known as Testiclees the mighty. Bearers of the name Demetrios are imbued with the power that this name has bestowed upon them and are well regarded for their many incedible feats of manliness. People who have this name are known to be accomplished, desirable, magnificent and noble. Never engage in a test of wits with a Demetrios, for he will pants you, and all the world will see your cocktail frank and or vajoojoo.
Man #1: "I don't understand it. All the women in my family are pregnant at the same time, even my Grandma!"
Man #2: "Say, didn't some guy named Demetrios move in next door to you recently?"

Pre-approvals demand a new approach to managing risks and costs.
Kris R. Nielsen ( firstname.lastname@example.com) is president and chairman of management consulting firm Pegasus-Global Holdings, and Patricia Galloway ( firstname.lastname@example.com) is CEO. Charles Whitney ( firstname.lastname@example.com) is senior vice president and general counsel at Oglethorpe Power Corp.
Pre-approvals demand a new approach to managing risks and costs.
A resurgence is beginning in power plant construction. The most obvious driver is the expectation that electricity consumption will continue its historic growth curve; U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) projects that by 2030 the nationwide electricity demand will increase 35 percent. 1 But in addition to the need for new generating capacity, several other factors are driving this resurgence. Namely, fossil-fuel price volatility and greenhouse-gas constraints are pushing the industry toward greater fuel diversity. Additionally, the aging power plant fleet requires investments in refurbishment and repowering—or in many cases, decommissioning to make way for entirely new facilities.
As utilities seek rate treatment for these capital investments, they increasingly are asking state utility commissions to pre-approve construction costs. However, most commissions refuse to allow utilities to grow their rate base unless they first prove the costs resulted from prudent decision making. When considering future costs, rather than those already incurred, rate cases are focusing on such key questions as who will build, own, and operate the new plants, and how the commission can determine and ensure the prudence of either direct investment or power purchases. Thus, utilities need to define the overall magnitude of their financial or business risks, including how those risks compare to other generation alternatives, and how they're distributed among developers, shareholders and ratepayers.
PUCs naturally are concerned with how the estimated costs reasonably can be assured given the utility infrastructure cost overruns of the 1980s. Thus, both commissions and utility companies face the new dilemma of determining what constitutes "prudence" and how it will have to be proved in a prospective environment—versus the retrospective environment of 20 years ago.
Intervenor Prudence Issues
Proving the prudency of future costs isn't easy. For example, Montana-Dakota Utilities Co. and Otter Tail Corp. filed an application in November 2006 for the advanced determination of prudence in the utilities' participation and ownership in the Big Stone 2 pulverized coal facility. They requested the state commission "determine the construction of Big Stone Unit II generating station to be reasonable and prudent in order to provide the basis for future rate stability proposals the companies will present to the commission." This filing created an opportunity for intervening parties to introduce a substantial hurdle for utilities seeking a preconstruction prudence determination. The intervenors argued against allowing the determination of prudence because of "the utilities lack of preparation for changes in external circumstances," and that there was no showing that Big Stone 2 was the least-cost alternative over the life of the project.
Intervenors' counter-prudence arguments included allegations that the utilities underestimated the risks of further construction delays, construction cost increases, regulatory compliance costs, and coal supply disruptions and price increases. They further argued the cost estimates were

Sindhi Shahi Tukde
Sweet Fried Bread
This past weekend our Sindhi potluck group met and we decided to cook only authentic Sindhi food. Oh my! We had a ball eating all the wonderful Sindhi food. Well, some of the friends in the group that could not attend missed one heck of a great Sindhi dinner. Yummy khadho (food) like Sindhi Karhi, Patate ja Tookah, Wadis, Peas/Paneer, Boondi Jo Matho (Raita), fried papad and then the most favorite dish was the dessert, a traditional, divine, Mithi Dabalah.
So what is this dish and how does one make it. Mithi means sweet and dabalah means bread. Simple… easy… Yes it is… Mithi Dabalah is a delicious and a very decadent Sindhi dessert. I would call it a version of the Shahi tukde. Traditionally this dish was made with leftover bread. God love our dear ancestors who came up with this wonderful creation (A Moghul influence that's what I believe) which is a favorite amongst Sindhi's. Because of the popularity of this sweet dish it is now served at weddings, celebrations and parties. This easy and simple recipe is an absolutely perfect dish even at small gatherings and parties because it can be made in advance.
Mithi Dabalah traditionally was made by frying bread and dipping it in warm sugar syrup and eaten as a breakfast or as a snack. Now we have modified this by adding Rabadi over the fried sweetened bread flavored with cardamoms and then topped with nuts. In India they top this scrumptious dish with Varq (Edible Silver Foil). You can even try it with another twist, like topping the fried sweet bread with ice-cream and then use your imagination with other toppings. So here goes the recipe of Mithi Dabalah…
- 8-10 Slices of bread cut into triangles and fried
- Oil for frying bread
- 2 Cups Sugar Syrup
- 1tsp rose water
- 1 cup Rabadi
- 5 green Cardamoms or 20 seeds
- 10-12 Pistachio nuts chopped finely
Method to Make Sugar Syrup:
- 2 cups Sugar
- 1 cup Water
- In a saucepan on medium heat, combine sugar and water to make sugar syrup. Boil until the sugar is completely dissolved and thick syrup like consistency has been achieved, add cardamoms and rose water. Keep warm until needed.
Method to Make Rabadi:
- 5 cups of milk
- 1/2 cup sugar
- In a heavy bottomed pan boil milk. Keep stirring constantly so it does not stick onto the bottom and sides of the pan. Reduce to 1 cup and then add sugar. Boil for 1-2 mins more and remove from heat. Let it cool and refrigerate. Use when needed.
Method for Fried Bread:
- Trim the edges of the bread slices and cut them into four triangular pieces.
- In a frying pan heat oil, deep fry the bread pieces to a golden brown color.
- Remove from frying pan and place the fried bread pieces over some tissue, so the excess oil is soaked out.
Assembly of Mithi Dabalah (Sweet Bread):
- Using a slotted spoon, drop the crisp golden fried bread triangles into the warm sugar syrup for a few minutes.
- Remove the bread triangles from the sugar syrup and transfer to a serving dish.
- Top with prepared Rabadi and chopped pistachio nuts.
- Enjoy this Mithi Dabalah warm or chilled anyway you want.
Keep it simple, keep it Sindhi.

From time to time, Make-A-Wish® and its supporters fall victim to scams that illegally make use of the good name and trademarks of Make-A-Wish.
Each day, Make-A-Wish and its chapters receive hundreds of inquiries about chain letters claiming to be associated with Make-A-Wish and featuring sick children.
We do not participate in these kinds of wishes. Some names associated with these wishes are: Max, Amirtha, Jessie Anderson, Shane Bernier, Matt Dawson, Chad Briody, Amy Bruce, Jeff DeLeon, Rhyan Desquetado, Anthony Hebrank, LaNisha Jackson, Nikisha Johnson, Craig Sheldon, Craig Shelford, Craig Shelton, Craig Sheppard, Craig Shergold, Bryan Warner and Kayla Wightman.
New holiday chain message about "Max" not affiliated with the Make-A-Wish Foundation:
A new chain message being circulated suggests that a boy named Max recently wished to receive a million Christmas cards. The Make-A-Wish Foundation is NOT affiliated with the alleged request in any way, shape or form. We have checked with the hospital, where, according to some posts and emails, Max is supposedly being treated. They have informed us that they have no such patient.
If you receive a chain letter claiming ties to Make-A-Wish, please:
Only one of these requests is based in fact: In 1989, a then-9-year-old boy named Craig Shergold wanted to be recorded in the "Guinness Book of World Records" for receiving the most greeting cards. His wish was fulfilled in 1990 by another wish-granting organization not associated with Make-A-Wish. He received more than 16 million cards. Craig is now a healthy adult, and he has requested an end to the mail. Mail that is received is forwarded to a recycling center.
The time and expense required to respond to these inquiries distracts Make-A-Wish from its efforts on behalf of children with life-threatening medical conditions and, more importantly, can divulge information that is potentially harmful to a child and his or her family.
Make-A-Wish urgently renewed a nationwide scam alert today (June 14,2012), warning individuals not to believe anyone calling their homes and posing as federal employees demanding advance payment of taxes on fictitious sweepstakes prizes supposedly awarded by Make-A-Wish.
A number of individuals have reported to us that they, or a family member or friend, have received a phone call informing them they have allegedly won hundreds of thousands of dollars (e.g., $350,000) in a sweepstakes or lottery associated with Make-A-Wish. These individuals have been told that, in order to claim their "prize," they must first wire money to cover taxes, insurance and courier services on the supposed winnings.
This is a scam. Make-A-Wish is NOT associated with any kind of sweepstakes or lottery, and it has always had a strict policy prohibiting telemarketing in its name to raise money.
Callers may claim to be agents of the Federal Trade Commission (FTC), the Internal Revenue Service or the U.S. Customs Service. They often provide fictitious names and phone numbers of people who falsely claim to be representatives of Make-A-Wish or insurance carriers such as Lloyd's of London.
The FTC has issued a consumer alert urging anyone who receives such a call to file a complaint with the real FTC at ftc.gov or by calling 1-877-FTC-HELP.
An Internet video depicting a fictional news story about Make-A-Wish continues to circulate on YouTube and other video sites.
The video portrays a wish kid whose wish for unlimited wishes has put Make-A-Wish's future in jeopardy. The "Today Now!" segment is not true, and all characters, including wish child "Chad," are fictitious. The spoof was produced in 2008 by The Onion, which is well-known for using satire to parody news events. Make-A-Wish is financially sound thanks to its many generous donors, and we do not grant "unlimited wishes" to a wish child.
We appreciate your support for the Make-A-Wish mission and the thousands of courageous children we serve.
