Dekhi-based Kapoor, showing the ink mark on finger, said it was difficult to believe that a government was gone even before the ink mark on his finger had faded. he said people only saw dharnas and protests, adding that all this convinced him that Kejriwal should be India's next prime minister for if China attacks India, he would protest outside the Chinese Embassy.
The artiste also took a dig at Rahul Gandhi, saying he believed that Congress made Kejriwal the CM of Delhi just to make its vice-president look smarter, just like fat people keep fatter people around them.
"Many say Kejriwal thinks outside the box, how about thinking inside the head?"

The future of the controversial "fundholders for justice" proposals remains unclear following reports that the plans had been dumped as part of the Lord Chancellor's Department's (LCD) radical review.
The LCD insists that the report by the Social Market Foundation is still being considered "with interest", although insiders doubt whether the fundholders scheme can work in practice.
But lawyers are now worried about its other proposals, such as the plan to stop representation in magistrates courts. The idea was rounded on at a recent conference of criminal practitioners who described the proposal as "complete madness".
Tony Edwards, secretary of the London Criminal Courts Solicitors Association, said its proposal was "frightening". Lee Bridges, author of Standing Accused, said the proposals could lead to discontinuity of representation and a further deterioration in the quality of defence work.
But Foot & Bowden partner Tony Holland, joint author of the Social Market Foundation report, says the issue of representation in the magistrates' courts is down to priorities.
"If we have to balance guilty plea representation as opposed to advising a single mother on her benefits, the latter may be more important that the former. At the moment we may be prioritising things the wrong way," says Holland.
Anne Grosskurth, policy officer with the Legal Action Group, concedes that the duty solicitor scheme is in need of change.
"There is a real problem with the over-supply of solicitors but it would seem unjust to deny defendants the right to representation just because it is a minor case," she says
Law Society officials are broadly against the fundholder proposals because they say it would restrict choice, but Holland argues that this may have to be sacrificed if access to justice is to be maintained.
The Social Market Foundation report, which includes the fundholder proposal, is just one of a series of ideas which the Lord Chancellor has been considering since June.
The Treasury-inspired fundamental review also covers the court building programme, a review of civil litigation, the green paper divorce proposals, personal injury and the other main areas of civil litigation. Family law, housing, contract, debt enforcement and neighbourhood disputes are also under scrutiny.
The review team was made up of the department's officials, while the advisory group on legal aid included assistant recorder George Pulman QC, Steve Orchard, chief executive of the Legal Aid Board and David Batt of the Treasury.
The group also included the three who put their names to the fundholder report, Martin Partington, Gwyn Bevan and Tony Holland.

text: LOUISVILLE, Ky., March 21, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Red e App, a groundbreaking, real-time mobile messaging platform for non-desk bound employees, recently completed a successful Series A funding round that was led by Yearling Fund II, which focuses on promising Kentucky-based startups. Red e App, which is quickly attracting new customers with the first secure, private mobile messaging platform for enterprises, will use the capital infusion to continue to scale operations. The convergence of a number of workplace trends positions the Red e App platform for rapid growth: Enterprises require new solutions to meet evolving mobile communication needs, including ways to communicate securely across a private mobile network, manage the BYOD ("bring your own device") trend, connect with multiple user lists, delegate notifications abilities beyond group SMS applications and generate real-time analytics and custom reports. Red e App is focused on creating value for customers that have thousands of field-based, non-desk bound employees, including those in the healthcare, retail, restaurant and manufacturing sectors as well as member associations. The company will use the funding from its oversubscribed Series A round to boost product development efforts, expand sales and marketing initiatives, cultivate analyst relationships, and continue to offer unparalleled customer support with its highly responsive team. "We're incredibly excited to close our Series A funding round oversubscribed," said Jonathan Erwin, Red e App founder and CEO. "It's a tangible validation of our strategy and business model, and the confidence investors are placing in our venture is directly attributable to the unique space we occupy in enterprise mobile communications. By giving companies a secure method to push out internal communications and enable employee collaboration, we offer an entirely new way to connect and engage." Support from the Yearling Fund II, which has a reputation for recognizing capable companies at the early stages and beyond, is just the latest validation for Red e App. The company was named a 2012 Hot Dozen company by Greater Louisville Inc.'s EnterpriseCorp in recognition of its entrepreneurial spirit and high growth potential.

What a Difference 9 Days and 7 Alleged Botox Deaths Make
Janice Dickinson and Heidi Montag just happened to bump into each other filling gas in Hollywood last May, paparazzi just happened to already be there and both just happened to be appearing in I'm a Celebrity ... Get Me Out of Here.
The world's oldest supermodel is defending Heidi Montag's famed plastic surgeon Dr. Frank Ryan, saying the rest of us are "ignorant" by calling all of Heidi's nips and tucks "plastic surgery procedures"!
"So what? What's the big deal?" Janice Dickinson snapped. "People are ignorant when then talk about this, they don't understand that things like Botox, ear pinning and fat injections are not really plastic surgery procedures, but Dr. Ryan had to list them in the interest of disclosure."

I'm looking for some suggestions for freezer-bag meals for my JMT hike next month. I have the book and have gone through the trailcooking.com website, but of course want to glean from all the experience here. 8-)
I think I could get by with oatmeal/pop tarts and Java Juice coffee for breakfast just fine, but it's the dinners I'd like to hear about. Do you think a variety of 4 would do for a 20 day hike?
Thanks!Jul 7, 2009 at 8:15 am #1512443
George, I am no help here…lately I have been addicted to baked ramen noodle "bowls" crammed full of veggies and meat :-D
(I bought out a store of their last lot of the baked ramen, that is no longer made. Got 130 packs to eat..hehheh!)
I have been making meals for friends hikes this summer and usually I try to not repeat more than once – to keep variety up.
I mix it up as well – a rice, a pasta, a mashers, etc – so they don't get tired of a meal :-)Jul 7, 2009 at 10:26 am #1512477

@drdystopiaLocale: Upstate NY
I am also very curious what people are eating in their FB meals.
I would be very interested in recipes that do not involve dehydrating your own stuff.
I have only been doing this for a couple of overnights but one meal I made up that worked out really well was this
Stove Top Stuffing
Freeze Dried Broccoli
Pouch Chicken
I used a double dose of extra virgin olive oil instead of butter and the olive oil taste really made this great. I also have tried a couple of the Knorr Sides and they are pretty good. Stay away from the tariyaki noodles it was not good.

We've just been mixing it up lately, inspired by the FBC recipe book. Basically:
1) any carb base: minute rice, thin pastas, mashed taters, etc
2) any protein: beans, packaged chicken or tuna, etc
3) assorted dehydrated veggies: peas, corn, green beans, etc
4) your own spices
One of my favs is spicy chicken ramen, packaged chicken, a large dollop of peanut butter and your own hot spices. That's pretty much right out of the FBC book and it tastes a lot like a thai dish. Super easy and VERY filling for one dude.
-DaveJul 7, 2009 at 1:05 pm #1512510
Thai Style Peanut Noodles
* 3 oz package ramen noodles
* 1⁄4 c peanut butter
* 1 1⁄2 t sesame oil
* 1 t soy sauce
* 1 t diced dried onion
* 1⁄2 t red pepper flakes
* 1 T vinegar
* 2 c water
At home pack the noodles in a quart freezer or sandwich bag. Pack the sauce items in a snack size plastic bag.
FBC and Insulated Mug Method:
Bring 2 cups water to a near boil and take off the stove. Cover the noodles with around 1 1/2 cups, seal the bag tightly and put in a cozy for 5 to 10 minutes.
Add 1/2 cup water to the peanut mix, stirring in slowly till combined.
Drain the noodles, toss with the sauce.
One pot method:
Bring 2 cups water to a boil in your pot. Take out 1/2 cup and set aside. Add the ramen and cook for 3 minutes. Drain off any remaining water.
Meanwhile add the 1/2 cup water to the peanut mix, stirring in slowly till combined.
Toss the drained noodles with the sauce.
This is an adapted recipe from our first book.
For the soy sauce and vinegar use packets from http://www.minimus.biz or powders from http://www.packitgourmet.comJul 7, 2009 at 1:35 pm #1512518

@hikinggrannyLocale: Gateway to Columbia River Gorge
I try not to have the same meal twice on a trip, although a couple of my favorites (one is the Pritikin recipe for "Spicy Mexican Lentils" with the addition of brown rice and freeze-dried tomatoes and peppers, and another is my own version of the Lean Cuisine meal "Rosemary Chicken") will be repeated on my 10-day Wind Rivers trip next month. The other six meals will all be different. The same meal every four days sounds really boring.
Most important, try out every meal at home before the trip, after drying. I can tell you from experience that there's nothing like getting out in the mountains and finding that the chicken casserole with peas that you loved so much at home (before dehydrating) turns into a watery, gooey mess with the peas still the consistency of buckshot after 15 minutes of cooking!Jul 8, 2009 at 4:26 pm #1512755

I'm really into the Thai flavors right now. Coconut, ginger, peanut, curry, lemongrass…you get the idea.
In the regular grocery store asian/ethnic section I'm finding the Taste of Thai, Simply Asia and Thai Kitchen brands have "instant" or "quick cook" items that work well for me in FBC. Also found if I like the sauce of one brand that doesn't have quick cook noodles I can take the sauce packets and sub a pouch of ramen for the noodles. I usually add some extra veggies and a pouch of salmon or chicken or some dehydrated tofu.
Also really enjoy the Nissin brand Tomato Basil ramen. I add extra dehydrated veggies and a powder of dehydrated and ground mushrooms. You could easily add some dehydrated hamburger or other meat but I like this one as is.
Forgot to add…
At Publix I've found soup cups, Dr. McDougals, I believe. Tortilla, Black bean and lime and a Split green pea these are the type you just add hot water to. There are several other varieties but I haven't tried them all. These are all vegan but could easily be "beefed up" with an added protein.Jul 8, 2009 at 4:54 pm #1512761

@perritoLocale: Joisey
Good stuff. Thanx! Keep it coming!Jul 8, 2009 at 4:55 pm #1512762
The Dr. McDougall's cups are good. I use them as a base due to being lower in sodium. Add in rice or couscous, some meat, etc and tasty.Jul 9, 2009 at 11:19 am #1512942

Thai Mango Chicken and Rice
serves 1
1 3 ounce can chicken (or 3 T dried)
1/3 cup instant rice
3 T chopped dried mango
1 T dried roasted bell pepper
1/2 t dried basil
1 T coconut crème powder
At home: combine everything in a zip locking plastic bag. Carry the can of chicken seperately. (if using dried, add it with the dry ingredients)
In camp: place bag in a cozy. Add just enough water to cover. Let stand 5-10 minutes. Stir in the chicken and serve.Jul 9, 2009 at 11:46 am #1512946

Not the cheapest, but darn easy.
I add a packet of olive oil and 2 diced chicken chorizo sausages from Costco. Makes a BIG portion. Also for added heat, depending on my mood, a packet of Frank's Red Hot sauce, or Tapatio, or a scant drop of Dave's Insanity sauce (stored in a BPL microdropper bottle with the dropper tip bored out). With Dave's, it's best to dilute it with water in your spoon before adding.
I suggest with the K-L sides that you pre-hydrate with 1/2 the water when you hit camp. Then, at dinner time, add the other 1/2 boiling water and cozy until absorbed. Before doing the pre-hydrate thing, I've had the rice remain a little crunchy and soupy, especially in cold weather.Jul 29, 2009 at 5:27 pm #1517467
William LesmerisesMember
I'll second the Mcdougall cups. Add some instant rice, some dehydrated veggies/meat and an olive oil packet from minimus for an easy to make, high calorie, tasty meal.Jul 30, 2009 at 4:15 am #1517540

While I don't personally do the FBC thing for many reasons… the meals I make can easily be rehydrated in a freezer bag and cozied. I generally use boiling water in a a Nalgene and cozy it so that I can skip the re-heat part of the instructions.
courtesy of A Fork in the Trail
Dehydration Time: 7–10 hours
Serves 4 to 6
This hearty and flavorful minestrone has been one of my family's favorites for years. Serve it with a piece of garlic bannock.
1 tablespoon olive oil
5 thin slices pancetta, chopped (optional)
1 onion, chopped
2 medium carrots, chopped
1 russet potato, peeled and cubed
1 celery stalk, chopped
2 tablespoons celery leaves, chopped
2 garlic cloves, minced
2 cups canned diced tomatoes (with juice)
1 tablespoon parsley
1 sprig fresh rosemary
1-ounce rind of Parmesan cheese
1 pound Swiss chard, stemmed and chopped
2 cups plus ½ cup low-sodium beef or vegetable stock
2 cups cannellini or white kidney beans, drained and rinsed
Salt and pepper to taste
Parmesan cheese (optional)
At Home: In a large pot sauté the pancetta (if using) in the olive oil until it is crisp. Remove the pancetta and set aside. Pour the onions, carrots, potatoes, and celery in the pot and stir. Cook until the onions are translucent. Add the celery leaves and garlic and sauté for another minute. Add the tomatoes, parsley, rosemary, and cheese rind and let simmer for about 10 minutes.
Add the Swiss chard and 2 cups of the stock. Purée half of the beans with the 1/2 cup remaining stock in a blender or food processor. Pour into the pot and simmer until the potatoes are cooked. Then add the remaining whole beans to the pot and heat through. Remove the cheese rind and the rosemary spring. Allow the soup to cool.
Measure the soup and write this measurement on a sticky note. Pour the soup onto lined dehydrator trays and dry for 7 to 10 hours or until no moisture remains. Put the dried soup in a ziplock freezer bag along with the sticky note.
At Camp: Add enough boiling water to the soup mix to equal the measurement on your sticky note. Do not add the water first or you will have too much liquid. Once the soup has rehydrated, heat it through and serve. Garnish the soup with some shaved Parmesan.
Tips: To make this vegetarian simple omit the pancetta. To make the recipe vegan omit the cheese rind and shaved cheese as well.Mar 9, 2010 at 7:00 am #1583977
It wasn't me that sent it but I will drop you some stuff via email :-)Mar 9, 2010 at 8:08 am #1583994

Instant mashed potatoes plus an alfredo sauce packet plus dried veggies.
And this is not so much FBC but is one of my favorites: mac & cheese plus a tuna packet. I add veggies to this, too sometimes.
Couscous, dried corn, sun-dried tomato, italian seasoning and red pepper flakes, plus an olive oil packet.
Also couscous with dried cranberries, bits of dried apricot, and almond slivers.

Re: The Observations of an Excellector.
They are willing to make certain moves, but they have not hit the panic button. However, I do think that Caldwell was brought in as the backup plan. If their struggles on the road continue, it is something to keep an eye on."Please take with you this final sword, The Excellector. I am praying that your journey will be guided by the light", Leon Shore
Re: The Observations of an Excellector.
Everything came together and the pass that would have sent that tough as nails team to the super bowl was dropped.
Now, the offensive line needs to change and change now during the bye so Joe can step into his throws.
The receivers' routes need to become more exotic along with the actual design of the pass plays and formations.
Our corners need to play press and Upshaw needs to start opposite Suggs and keep everything inbetween them and no one can be allowed to turn the corner on either side.
The Ravens must go into Pittsburgh 7-2 and win 2 of those next 3. And then go to Washingon at least 9-3 because those last 4 games will be tough.
Pittsburgh had to get by the Redskins and Giants before we ever meet them. So we will see how they are when we meet up with them. We might have a 2 game lead when we go there.

Norv ran timing plays all day with Irvin, slants to Harper... he used his players to their strengths. They had developed a good offensive line.

I is nothing then what I got
We are what we see.
The cure is turning btter bitter
Very sour and very bitter
But not my power
No, not so far
Me and you
All is I,
We all die.
For it is I
Who is me?
We all who we live to be?
I is are and we is am
One another is nnother turn
And I is who is each other.

LOS ANGELES (AP) Along with ads for bottled water and iTunes, a new campaign has begun appearing on the online social networking hub MySpace.com.
"1 in 5 kids online is sexually solicited. Online predators know what they're doing. Do you?" read the public service ads that began running Monday.
A division of News Corp., MySpace enables computer users to meet any of more than 60 million members. Users post searchable profiles that can include photos of themselves and such details as where they live and what music they like.
But the website's features and popularity with teens have raised concerns with authorities nationwide. There have been scattered accounts of sexual predators targeting minors they met through the site.
The spots, which computer users can see on MySpace in the form of banner ads, were also slated to begin running on a host of News Corp. outlets, including other Fox Interactive Media websites, the 28 Fox Networks Group broadcast networks, Fox All Access radio and the New York Post.
They are part of a campaign launched two years ago by the Ad Council and the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children.
Meanwhile, MySpace announced Tuesday that it has hired a Microsoft executive to oversee safety, education, privacy and law enforcement affairs, effective May 1.
Hemanshu Nigam currently serves as a director responsible for driving Microsoft's consumer security outreach and child safe computing strategies. He was previously a federal prosecutor who specialized in online child exploitation cases.
The new ad campaign warns parents and teens that sexual predators are increasingly using the veil of anonymity provided by online chat rooms, forums and social networking sites to target minors.
"One of the things we're trying to persuade kids to do is not to give out personal details online, don't advertise where they are and who they are," said Ernie Allen, president of the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children. "The person with whom they may be interacting may not be who they say they are."
Some 22% of users are registered as under 18, according to MySpace.
The site forbids minors 13 and under from joining and provides special protections for those 14 and 15 — only those on their friends' list can view their profiles.
The company uses a computer program that analyzes user profiles and flags members likely to be under 14. Hundreds of thousands of flagged profiles have been deleted, the company has said.
Still, children regularly lie about their age to get around those restrictions.
Last month, two men were arrested in what prosecutors said were the first federal sex charges involving MySpace. Two Connecticut girls involved in that case were 11 and 14, the FBI said.

Big Ford profit: Buyers choosing loaded models as key U.S. market rebounds
Ford Motor reported hefty first-quarter earnings of $2.6 billion on Tuesday, driven by buyers' appetites for well-equipped, high-profit versions of its vehicles and integration of global operations to speed new models to market at lower cost.
The profit was Ford's (F) seventh-consecutive quarter in the black, and beat analysts' forecasts.
"Ford opened 2011 with a very solid quarter that should put to rest investor concerns, especially around its North American earnings power," wrote Barclays Capital industry analyst Brian Johnson in a client note.
A key driver was that buyers are choosing higher-profit models. "They want the features, the content, whether it's a Fiesta all the way up to the F-150," CEO Alan Mulally said in a conference call. "On the Fiesta, one of the most popular options is heated leather seats. That's on a Fiesta," Ford's economy subcompact that starts at about $14,000.

STORY: 'Value cars' replace bare-bones bottom-feeders
BLOG: Drive On
Ford's success might strike a casual watcher as sudden, but the automaker has toiled five years to become an "overnight sensation." A large part of it can be explained by a line used by Carlos Ghosnwhen he rescued Nissan Motor from bankruptcy in 1999: "There's no problem at a car company that product won't solve." Product is industry shorthand for appealing new models.
Elements of Ford's success include:
•Mortgaging all Ford's assets for $23 billion in 2006 under then-new CEO Mulally, before credit froze. The liquidity avoided a detour through bankruptcy court and paid for new products and restructuring.
•Continuing product development, while Detroit rivals General Motors and Chrysler delayed or halted projects, and Japanese powerhouses Toyota and Honda slowed product cycles to conserve cash.
•Restructuring, in which Mulally pushed better teamwork, dismantled fiefdoms and pushed his "One Ford" global-integration plan, in which one development investment yields models to sell worldwide.
•Predicting rising U.S. interest in smaller cars and developing them. If the forecast is right rising gas prices can't hurt Ford will be well-positioned to exploit small-car sales now dominated by Asian brands.
•Investing in advanced engines with more power and better mileage so they can be marketed in different versions to both power-hungry and mileage-minded buyers.

A minute with: Martin Lawrence talking "Big Mommas"
By Zorianna Kit
LOS ANGELES (Reuters Life!) - Martin Lawrence has starred in big-budget action flicks like "Bad Boys" and motorcycle riding comedy "Wild Hogs," but his most famous role may be one in which he portrays a woman in his "Big Momma" movies.

Q: Why reprise this character for the third time?
A: "Because I enjoy playing her. Big Momma is an endearing character, she's lovable, smart, funny, spicy, in your face attitude, she can kick some butt."
Q: Which of her traits do you like best.
A: "The humor. It's her humor, her mannerisms, the way she says things, the funny things she says."
Q: Is that improv or how much do you go off the script?
A: "Some things are on the script but a lot is improv." Continued...

The Hunters Choice Bale Blind is the first all-purpose ground blind that can be used for Waterfowl hunting, big game hunting, turkey hunting, predator hunting, scouting, or just want a dry, comfortable place to enjoy and film nature.
The roomy interior of the blinds give you plenty of space for 2 large adults or 1 adult and 2 children.
Waterfowl, deer, turkey, and other animals adapt almost immediately to the blinds when set up. Even in areas where they are not used to seeing hay bales there is something about the natural material and shape that does not make wildlife nervous. Customers repeatedly tell us they put the blind up in the morning and literally have deer and other game coming within range by the afternoon.
The natural blanket cover does a great job of helping to contain scent to give yourself an extra edge even when in unfavorable wind conditions.
For those looking for more bang for their buck in a blind, the Hunters Choice is the perfect solution. Hunt turkey in the spring, move to your favorite bow hunting spot during Big game season, then relocate to your favorite duck or goose spot for some late season waterfowl hunting.
The waterfowl door folds down for minimal movement when shooting time arrives. It swings back up and re-attaches to frame with magnets. There is a fold out cover on the waterfowl opening to completely close it when you are not waterfowl hunting. The opposite side and two ends sides have normal shooting windows for hunting big game, turkey and predators just like our Sportsman and Outfitter bale blinds do.
The Hunters Choice hay bale blind is strong, lightweight, easy to move and can be left outside all season long under the harshest conditions. The strong metal frame is built to withstand heavy snow loads and strong winds.
The durable hand sewn natural cover can last approximately 3 years when left outside year round. It is replaceable. The cover can easily be removed in just a few minute for off season storage that will more than double the life of your cover. Replacement covers are available.
Other features include:

Here is a different take on how to write a Katara POV story. I've had this in my head for the longest, and, in fear of losing the idea, I wanted to go ahead and post it. Um, all of you that are waiting for my other stories, they will be updated. Only You might take a little more time though.
I plan on making one for Zuko too, but that's after I finish this one.
Disclaimer- I do not own Avatar.Chapter 1
Dear Journal,
I have started writing a little journal, to keep me busy and to keep my thoughts. I wish to show my children one day. Neither Aang nor Sokka knows about this, so I must keep this a secret. My day was like every other. Traveling on Appa, having little arguments with Sokka about his so called 'instincts', putting up with Sokka's eating problem, cooking for the boys, and making friendly jokes about Sokka in which Aang always laughs.
As much as I love being with Aang and Sokka, I'm getting tired of this same old routine. Same thing, every day: wake up, eat, ride on Appa, land, eat, then go back to sleep. And even sometimes get harassed by Zuko. I'm beginning to miss the quiet, simple life at the South Pole.
I must go now. Aang is beginning to wake up, as I am writing this at night when they're asleep. The one time I have enough time to write without they finding out.
Dear Journal,
Today Zuko found us, and, as always, we managed to slip out of his grasp.
How I hate that Prince.
We can never find someplace to shop and meet other people, and have a good time unless he shows up. I hate it. I hate him. What does he want with Aang anyway? He probably wants to torture him. But that could never happen. If he hasn't captured us before, what makes him so sure he'll catch us now?
Dear Journal,
I stand corrected. Obviously Zuko does have the wits to outsmart someone in order to catch them. And I was it. Here's how it happened: I told Aang and Sokka I was going to take a bath, and I decided to sneak my journal with me as well. So, with my journal in my pocket, I tried to find my way to the small pond. Unfortunately, Zuko was just waiting for someone to come walking about in the woods. He grabbed me, tried to force me to tell him where Aang was (I was a long way from camp), and when I did not tell him, he took me with him. And here I am now. Stuck in a smelly, old, damp cell with nothing but a rickety cot and a pot to pee in. But at least I have my journal to keep me company.
I wonder how Aang and Sokka are doing. Do they realize I'm gone? I'm afraid nothing but time will tell. I'm going to sleep.Katara
Dear Journal,
I have eaten breakfast; a nastytasting piece ofbread with soup. Zuko can't expect me to live off this while I'm held captive. But then again, I don't expect to be here long. I'm sure the boys are on their way to save me right now.
It must be by noon now. Zuko visited me earlier this morning expecting me to spill the beans on Aang. Roaring, "Tell me now!" and "I order you to tell me!", Zuko only served to make me even more annoyed and angered. And so I kept my mouth shut, even though I would've anyway. That arrogant, prick of a Prince, who do he think he is? I'm not one of his servants!
I still worry for Aang and Sokka.
That's it. How'd you like it? If Katara sounds too proper, like 1600s England kind of proper, then that's because I've been reading those kinds of books lately. Sorry bout that. :sweatdrop:
A review would be nice. (hint, hint) :)

But he also said you have the good ones and the bad ones like most of you guy are saying and he also said who you get the car from.... But I think I'm leave the Catera where it is and get a Seville..Quote:

OK. Total newbie here but I think I have an 'issue' with the horizon problem as it is stated on pretty much every website that I look at. Here is a direct extract from wikipedia regarding the horizon problem:"If one were to look at a galaxy ten billion light years away in one direction, say "west", and another in the opposite direction, "east", the total distance between them is twenty billion light years."Before I get to that problem let me ask a question.Assuming we could see through the Cosmic Microwave Background Radiation (CMB) basically right to the big bang (assume we can detect and view gravitational waves say and thus observe beyond the CMB) - The question is.. In which direction would I have to look to observe the universe (and in order to avoid some complication) when it was say the size of a marble or some other similar very small (non zero) size?I believe the answer to that question leads inescapably to conclusions which undermine the whole basis for the 'horizon problem' but I would like some comments or answers to the question first.Cheers JS

Achieve Coffee Perfection
Food Fitness to Nourish Your Body
For the coffee aficionado, understanding all the subtleties that make a great cup can be a very enjoyable process. Fortunately, achieving the perfect cup is easy once you are familiar with a few basic coffee making concepts.
Added to coffees are flavorings such as spices, liqueurs, nuts, chocolate, and vanilla. This enhances and awakens the taste buds as well as the body.
Know your Beans
When you walk into a specialty coffee shop, a coffeehouse that sells coffee beans -- or even a grocery store with a variety of whole-bean coffees -- you will probably spot an enticing display of coffee beans.
Usually, the beans range in color from light to dark brown, with names like French roast, Ethiopian, espresso roast, and even designations such as "house blend" and "Christmas blend." Once you know a little bit about the origins of coffee beans and the harvesting, roasting, and naming, you will be better equipped in choosing the bean right for your cup.
What is a Bean?
A coffee bean is actually the seed found in the red fruit (called a "coffee cherry") of a tropical evergreen shrub. This shrub can grow up to 30 feet in height. Coffee plantations thrive near the equator (between the Tropic of Cancer and the Tropic of Capricorn), primarily in Africa, the Americas, and Southeast Asia.
As with most plants used for food and drink, the growing environment -- amount of sunshine, type of soil, climate, and water -- contributes much to the flavor. Once coffee is harvested (a painstaking process that involves picking the coffee cherries by hand as they ripen) and processed, the beans -- which are at this point green in color -- are shipped off to their destinations to be roasted.
Types of Beans
With all the different monikers on the beans you buy at the store, you may think they are from different species of coffee plants. However, most of the beans you can purchase today come from only two species of coffee plants: coffea robusta and coffea arabica.
The coffee most often found in cans in your supermarket, consists of the type of coffee most Americans grew up with and consist of coffea robusta. Instant coffee consists of coffea robusta as well. While the robusta plant's hardiness and high yield make this a less expensive coffee to produce, coffee experts have described its flavor as "harsh" and "one-dimensional." On the other hand, coffea arabica, which grows at higher altitudes than robusta, produces coffee that connoisseurs often describe as "rich" and "complex." Specialty coffees -- those served at coffeehouses and sold at specialty coffee shops - also consist of coffea arabica.
Choosing the Right Coffee Bean
As previously explained, the names of the beans normally do not refer to the kind of coffee plant they come from; instead, the name can refer to any of the following:
Origin: Quite simply, a name may designate the location where beans grew (Ethiopia, Colombia, Kenya, and Yemen). Sometimes the name of the plantation is included in the name of the coffee as well. You can designate coffees as "single-origin" coffees - this means they hail from one country only -- or "blends," a combination of beans from a variety of geographical areas. Generally, blended coffees produce more complex brews than single-origin coffees.
Roasting Style: Once at their destination, the roasting of the green coffee beans takes place (that is, heated in a large roasting drum to develop a desired flavor and color). Generally, the longer the beans roast, the darker their color -- and the stronger their flavor. Knowing how strong you prefer your brew will help you decide which roasting style you prefer.
Roaster's Preferences: Often, coffee roasters will put their own mark on a batch of beans, blending and roasting the beans according to the roaster's preferences. Often, names such as "House Blend" will tell you little; but the names sometimes give clues as to how the roaster wishes the consumer enjoy their blend, such as "Dessert Blend."
Coffee-Roasting Styles
- French and Italian Roasts: Dark, heavy-roasted beans that are almost black in color and produce a strongly flavored coffee.
- American Roast: This is a medium-roasted coffee. It produces a coffee that is neither characteristically light nor heavy.
- European Roast: Two-thirds heavy-roasted beans combined with one-third medium-roasted beans.
- Viennese Roast: One-third heavy-roasted beans combined with two-thirds medium-roasted beans.
Decaffeinated Coffee
Decaffeinated coffee beans are regular coffee beans that have had the caffeine extracted from them. A chemical process that uses a solvent to extract the caffeine does this in some, others use a Swiss water method. The Swiss-water method means the beans are steamed and the caffeine-rich outer layers removed. Most coffee lovers agree that a good-quality decaffeinated process will not take away from the pleasure, aroma, or flavor of coffee.
Choosing the Right Coffee Origin
So, how does all this translate into what's best for your cup? Because coffees grown in the same parts of the world can have similar characteristics, knowing the origin of your coffee can help you decide if it will be one you like. Coffees from Africa imbue the aromas and flavors of berries, citrus fruits, cocoa, and spices, while coffees from Latin America have a lighter body and cleaner flavor. Coffees from Southeast Asia are often full-bodied and smooth.
Once you've got this overall picture of origins and roasting styles in your mind, you can enjoy the task of trying a bit of this and a bit of that to hone your personal likes and dislikes.
Caring for and Grinding Beans
Tip: Buy your coffee beans every week and store them in an airtight container to ensure freshness.
Whatever roast of coffee you choose remember the dictum: "Fresh is best." Beans become stale one week after roasting, so buy only the amount you will use within that week. If possible, buy your beans from a specialty shop that can tell you where and when the beans were roasted. If the roasting of the beans occurred halfway across the country, they are probably not very fresh. If the shop itself roasted the coffee, you are probably safe (provided the roaster is a well-trained professional). At home, store the beans at room temperature in an airtight container.
The Daily Grind
Most experts agree that you should not grind coffee until you plan to brew it. Ground coffee loses its freshness quickly -- so purchase your beans whole, and grind as needed. For most purposes, electric coffee grinders -- shaped like cylinders, with little whirring metal blades -- will work well. They cost about $20. Hand grinders may not grind the coffee fine enough for many coffee-brewing methods. The burr grinder has disks that cut beans into evenly sized pieces that drop into an attached container; this produces a more consistent grind, from coarse to fine. This type of grinder costs $50 to $80.
How fine you grind your coffee will depend on the coffee maker you use; check the manufacturer's directions. As a general rule, coffee too coarsely ground tends to be weak in flavor, body, and aroma. Yet, if it is ground too fine, it can taste bitter and clog some coffee makers.
Brewing Coffee
Proper Technique: Each brewing method has advantages and disadvantages. No matter which roast and method you select keep these points in mind:
- Measure ground coffee for consistent results. If you like a bold cup of coffee, try 2 tablespoons ground coffee for each 6-ounce cup. Because coffee strength is a matter of personal preference, experiment until you find the perfect measure for your taste.
- Start with fresh, cold water to make coffee. If your coffee tastes bitter or unusual, the water could be the cause. Highly chlorinated water, water treated by a softener and hard water can all affect the flavor of your coffee. A simple solution is to use bottled water. Consider water, like ground coffee, an essential ingredient in making a great cup of coffee.
- If using the manual drip method, let the water come to a full boil; then take the kettle off the heat and pause for a moment before pouring the water into the coffee. The flavor compounds in coffee that taste best release from water at less-than-boiling temperatures of 195 to 205-degrees.
- If using an automatic drip coffee maker, do not leave coffee on the warming plate -- it can quickly develop a bitter, burnt taste. Transfer the coffee to an airtight thermal carafe to keep it warm.
About filters
For sediment-free coffee, paper filters are best, but some people prefer using fine-mesh gold-plated filters. These last a long time and allow some sediment and flavorful oils to seep into the coffee, adding a character that some people enjoy.
Common Brewing Equipment and Methods
Tip: Use a carafe for brunches or other events where coffee never lasts long.
Filtered manual drip into an insulated container
Pour freshly boiled water through the coffee into a filter cone set on an insulated container.
Advantages: You can control the water temperature, allowing for the release of desired flavor components of the coffee, and the coffee stays hot in the container.
Disadvantage: Method is less convenient than automatic-drip coffee maker.
Filtered manual drip into glass carafe
You manually pour oiling water through the coffee into a filter cone set over a glass carafe. Advantage: You can control the water temperature, allowing for the release of the desired flavor components of the coffee.
Disadvantages: It is not as convenient as an automatic drip coffee maker is and you must consume the coffee immediately.
You automatically heat the water, pour it through coffee in a filter and the coffee drips into a carafe or insulated container.
Advantages: It is convenient -- some models even offer automatic timers.
Disadvantages: You cannot control the water temperature and it usually does not reach high enough temperatures to release the best flavors of the coffee. Coffee can develop a burnt taste if it sits on the warming plate.
French press (also called plunger or coffee press)
Freshly boiled water is poured over coffee into a cylindrical carafe, then it infuses (like tea) for a few minutes. You press a plunger filter through the water, trapping grounds below.
Advantages: Produces a richly textured coffee rife with natural oils. You do not need paper filters and you can control the water temperature.
Disadvantages: You must consume the coffee immediately. This method allows for some sediment in the brew; some people feel this adds character, and others find the taste bitter.
Electric percolator
As water boils it forces the water up through a tube and sprinkles it over grounds in a filter cup. The percolator automatically repeats the process, repeatedly spraying the coffee over the grounds.
Advantage: It is convenient.
Disadvantages: You cannot control the water temperature and coffee is recycled through the grounds, thereby creating "off" flavors.
Specialty Coffees
Brewed coffee: Usually produced through a drip filter, is perhaps the most common way to fill the American coffee cup; however, these specialty coffees are popular too.
Espresso: Italian in origin, many love espressos for its hearty flavor and thin layer of silky froth on top. Because of its intense flavor, you serve espresso in demitasse cups, often with sugar. You brew it by forcing hot water under pressure through finely ground coffee in an espresso machine.
Caffe Latte: This is primarily an American favorite. It combines one part brewed espresso to about three parts steamed milk, with a little froth (or foam) on top. Serve Caffe latte in a latte bowl or a tall glass mug.
Cappuccino: Equal parts brewed espresso, steamed milk, and froth makes a cup of cappuccino. Popular in both Italy and America, it has a more intense coffee flavor than latte and most often comes served with sugar.
These coffees depend on an Italian roast that has been specially blended and ground to make espresso. Because you make it differently from drip coffees, you need an espresso maker if you wish to prepare authentic espresso at home. Many kinds of espresso makers are available, from inexpensive stovetop pots to expensive machines resembling those found in coffeehouses.
Coffee Trivia

Conjoined Twin
Raised religiously and knowing that I'm gay, I've been wondering and pondering on how to break it to my mom. I decided to write a spoken word poem for her. Any critique is welcome!
Here it is.
Here it goes.
Three words I got to say,
That for 10 years I couldn't.
Three words that I got to tell you,
But he kept saying "you wouldn't"
That little voice in my head, raised with religion and good parenting.
That voice that said, "maybe that's a bad idea".
It's that voice that told me right from wrong. A voice I could trust, so I just went along.
This is right, this is wrong, you better do what I say! It sounded like a lifelong themesong.
So here it is
Here I go
Prevented by that voice that is heard by all.
I am gay.
You made me sick, ashamed, afraid and an outcast. So I asked for your help, but it never came. Judging on every mistake I've ever made.
And then it stopped.
"You better die then to live this lie." It said
This voice in my head wasn't me, I realise this now that I look back as it's waiting for my misery to start again, to give me the encouraging words: "you aren't that well, and oh yes.. You are definitely, DEFINITELY going to hell."
It took me two years to get rid of him, that voice that tried to kill me. Pretending to be me, but actually my greatest enemy.
But then I thought.
Rather adultery then dangling at a tree.
Because the same sentence counts for both right?
The same price will have to be payed on judgement day. Right?
That counts for every sin we commit. Right?
Why would I live my life denying who I am?
Because who ever you are, you're made of sin. Like a conjoined twin, you can't just cut it off without killing a part of you within.
So I accepted that part of me. Knowing it would come with a fee. But accepting my conjoined twin as a part of me, truly set me free.
