Coconut, rum, where are you?
Posted by Reviewer3018087 on Aug 29, 2015 | Verified Purchase
Yes, there is hardly any flavouring at all. I can taste a coconut, if I imagine it very hard, but rum doesn't show up ever. Overall, a decent green tea, but not as promised. Plus - pretty packaging, eco friendly tea bags, decent strength of tea. Minus - no flavouring or fragrance, taste is a bit poignant, price doesn't match the promise.

It's good but it could be better.

Ive bought this tea because I love everything what has COCONUT in its name :). It's good and tastes not so bad but I thought it'd be more coconutty in flavor so Im a little disapointed. I dont think I will repurchase it again because the price is too high for me for 22 sachets. But I loved the packaging.

Had great expectations for this flavour, but I didn't really like it :(
Waste of Money !

If I could rate this product as a negative I would. I love teas of all types, but this was the worst I have ever tried. It has no taste no matter how long you leave the bag in, it only getters a stronger bitter taste. You can not even hardly smell any coconut; pineapple; or rum. This product needs to be discountinued.

A combination of good luck and smart planning helped Everton to their impressive opening to the season against Manchester United on Monday.
So often poor starters, Everton were exceptional, out-running and out-playing United, and not particularly flattered by the 1-0 margin of victory.
Phil Neville, the club captain, believes that David Moyes' different approach to pre-season preparations was a key factor. Everton started training briskly, then relaxed, so they were fitter and fresher for the final straight before opening day.
"He brought us back early," said Neville. "Earlier than any other team in the Premier League, and then worked us hard for two weeks.
"Then he gave us five days off and, from then it's just been games, and it's been really relaxed which has benefited us." The benefits were certainly clear. Although the five-day break was not necessarily part of some grand plan. Rather, it came when Everton pulled out of a planned pre-season competition in Indonesia at the end of last month. Everton were due to play in the Java Cup, set to fly to Jakarta on 24 July, with games against a Malaysian XI on 27 July and another opponent, likely to be Turkish side Galatasaray, two days later.
But Galatasaray withdrew, and mooted replacements Nacional could not be confirmed either. With concerns over fixtures, ticket sales and security, Everton decided, at the 11th hour, to pull out and stay at home.
Their non-participation allowed Moyes to give his players those five days. Who knows how Everton would have done had they gone to Asia?
But the other aspect of their successful summer owes little to luck. In recent years, Everton have struggled in the transfer market, losing important players and failing to find their rhythm at the season's start. In 2009, they lost Joleon Lescott, in 2011, it was Mikel Arteta, as well as three recognised strikers in James Vaughan, Jermaine Beckford and Yakubu. With few useful additions in the summers of 2010 or 2011, an atmosphere of discontent was allowed to damage their start. In each of the last three seasons, they have won just three of their first 10 league games.
This summer was different. "The most important thing he's done is recruited early," Neville said of Moyes. There were two high-profile departures in Jack Rodwell and Tim Cahill, but neither were obviously in Everton's strongest side, and the £15 million from Rodwell has proved useful.
Everton's best players, Marouane Fellaini and Leighton Baines, are still at Goodison Park, while three attacking players have been signed. Steven Pienaar is now a full-time Evertonian again after an unsuccessful spell at Tottenham, while Steven Naismith and Kevin Mirallas have also arrived. The result is not just Everton's best forward line in years, but also more early optimism then they have had for a long while. "We don't always start the season well," said Neville, who was celebrating three points against his former club. "The manager has been drumming into us that we need to start the season running and we did."
Sticky Toffees: Everton's bad starts
Everton have made a habit of poor starts to a season in recent years, but they usually recover.
2011-12 Lost opener at home to QPR but won two of next three and ended the season in seventh
2010-11 Failed to win in first six matches but again ended seventh
2009-10 Only three victories by 8 November, finished eighth.
2008-09 Won two of first nine games but finished season in fifth
2007-08 Opening two victories preceded a poor run of two wins in eight matches. Finished fifth

The Instant - Prose
And as we part
Has time ever stopped
As when two arms extended
With finger tips touching
In the instant
Of a lifetime
That will forever be remembered
And cherished
More than the love making
Because in the sorrow of parting
The longing in our eyes
Is felt deeper
Than any touch
Or embrace
Or memory
For the moment
That I step out the window
Before gravity
Before reality
I fly
And live
As never before
And never again
Wow! I had to read that twice. You captured emotion so well, like a frozen second in time and feeling. Bravo!

The Reading Fightin Phils are excited to announce former Reading Phillies standouts Brett Myers and Mike Spidale, along with Wyomissing, PA native and former major leaguer Rich DeLucia will be inducted into the Reading Baseball Hall of Fame on Tuesday, August 15th. The trio will be honored during a special pre-game ceremony and address the fans. The first 2,500 adults will receive a Brett Myers Reading Baseball Hall of Fame "Old School" Bobblehead.
Brett Myers had an extremely productive career in the major leagues, primarily with the Philadelphia Phillies. He pitched for the Phillies from 2002 through 2009 and won a World Series ring with the Phillies in 2008. He was the game two starter for the Phillies in the World Series against the Tampa Bay Rays. Before making his way to Philadelphia in 2002, Myers was a member of the 2001 Eastern League Champion Reading Phillies. He pitched to a 13-4 record with a 3.87 ERA in 26 games and 23 starts. He struck out 130 batters in 156 innings. He made rehab appearances for Reading in 2008 and 2009.
Myers was drafted by the Phillies in the first round (12th overall pick) of the 1999 Major League Draft from Englewood Senior High School in Jacksonville, Florida and spent eight years of his 12-year major league career with the Philadelphia Phillies. He also pitched for the Houston Astros, Chicago White Sox and Cleveland Indians before retiring in 2013.
Since retiring from professional baseball, Myers now devotes his time to music. He's a singer and songwriter, and has produced two albums: Backwoods Rebel and You're Welcome.
He'll be joined by Reading's all-time Hit King Mike Spidale, who became a fixture for the Reading Phillies from 2007-2012. Spidale holds the Reading all-time career record for hits with 570, and games played with 515. He is also third in career steals with 93. Spidale is also a two-time Reading Phillies team MVP, winning the award in both 2010 and 2011. In 2010, he hit .303 with three home runs, 50 RBI, 74 runs and 31 stolen bases. In 2011, he finished third in the Eastern League with a .326 average and second in the Eastern League with 161 hits. His .326 batting average currently ranks eighth all-time in Reading Fightin Phils history for the highest batting average in a season. His 161 hits are currently tied for sixth all-time in Fightin Phils history for hits in a season. Spidale was signed as a minor league free agent by the Phillies in June of 2006.
Since Spidale has left the game after the 2012 season he has become a year-round resident of Reading, and has stayed active in the Reading area. He currently owns and coaches the Berks Bulls Baseball Organization, and is an assistant coach for Alvernia University Baseball.
Rounding out the Reading Baseball Hall of Fame Class of 2017 is Wyomissing, PA native and former major leaguer Rich DeLucia. DeLucia made his major league debut at age 25 for the Seattle Mariners against the Boston Red Sox on September 8, 1990. He spent ten seasons in the major leagues pitching for the Mariners, Cincinnati Reds, St. Louis Cardinals, San Francisco Giants, Anaheim Angels, and Cleveland Indians. He won a career-best 12 games in 1991 for the Mariners. DeLucia graduated from Wyomissing High School in 1982 and was drafted by the Seattle Mariners in the sixth round of the 1986 Major League Draft from the University of Tennessee. DeLucia still lives in Reading, and is currently a scout with the Los Angeles Dodgers.

Before committing or even landing his scholarship offer from Fresno State, Ronnie Rivers heard countless of stories about the work ethic and resume of Jeff Tedford through Rivers' father: Former NFL running back and FS icon Ron Rivers.
Now, the younger Rivers has become the latest to join Tedford's first recruiting class…and head to the university that made his father a renowned figure by verbally committing to the Bulldogs on Monday night.
Rivers, who held other offers from San Jose State, Hawaii and Idaho, cited Tedford as the chief reason for why he decided on the 'Dogs.
"Coach Tedford is definitely the one who influenced my decision," Rivers told Scout. "Even before he was named head coach my dad used to talk about how great of a coach he is. My family was ecstatic, especially my dad, when I told them I wanted to commit to Fresno State."
Rivers is now the fourth player to commit to Tedford, joining junior college products Jorge Reyna (quarterback, West Los Angeles College), tight end Gunner Javernick (tight end, Ventura College) and Clive Truschel (offensive line, Clovis West).
Rivers is currently preparing for a state championship run with Oakley (Calif.) Freedom High, as the Falcons are entering their state playoff road contest against Stockton-St. Mary's at 11-1. The Division I-AA battle takes place on Friday, Dec. 9.
Rivers has been the top catalyst for the Falcon rushing attack, slicing defenses up with his elusiveness and speed to the tune of 2,134 yards and 32 touchdowns. Those astronomical numbers earned him the Bay Valley League Most Valuable Player award.
Tedford mentioned to Rivers how he utilized different running backs during his Cal days, further piquing Rivers' interest about joining FS.
"Coach said that running backs were a big part of his offense," Rivers said. "He said that I would be a great fit and he mentioned how I remind him of all the great backs he's coached like Marshawn Lynch, C.J. Anderson, Javid Best and my dad.
"I had good conversations with coach Tedford, he made me feel like Fresno State was the best fit for me."
Rivers added that he got turned off by the coaching turnover at San Jose State. His offer from the Spartans came from head coach Ron Caragher, who was fired on Nov. 27.
"Yes, I really liked the previous coaches, so once they were let go I wasn't sure what was going to happen," Rivers said.
Rivers concluded that he is fully on board with Fresno State and that he's "very confident and excited for the new era."

We all want our fathers to live long and healthy lives. To ensure that, Father's Day is a good time to make sure Dad and everyone in your family are eating plenty of dark green, leafy vegetables.
The diets of animals similar to us makes it clear that we were designed to eat plenty of greens. The USDA has based its food recommendation of making vegetables the most important food on our plates. That's because studies have shown that those who eat plenty of green vegetables live longer and have less incidence of degenerative disease. Even so, nine out of ten people in the United States don't eat enough of these health-giving foods.
Pines' green superfoods provide a convenient and economical way to increase the green in your diet. They are available in powders, tablets and capsules.'
Our website provides a store locator to find a store near you, Accept no substitutes. Poorly grown and poorly packaged products in plastic tubs and paper packets are devitalized. Further, Pines is the ONLY vegan-friendly wholefood wheatgrass and alfalfa company in Kansas that is 100% organic and that has never produced pesticide-based feed for the mechanized meat industry. All our products are certified organic, Non-GMO Project Verified, Kosher and raw.
As the original green superfood company in the modern natural food marketplace, for more than 40 years, Pines has followed the standards established in 1937 for how to grow, harvest and package wheatgrass, alfalfa and other cereal grasses. All Pines products are packaged in amber glass bottles with special metal caps that allow us to remove the oxygen from each bottle to protect against the deterioration that occurs with plastic and paper packaging. The special metal caps allow the consumer to tightly seal the bottles between uses to keep the greens fresh and vibrant.

Brined Pork Loin Roast
Recipe by DDW7976
Since everyone seems to be doing the brining thing, I thought you all might like this roast. I got the recipe several years ago on the FoodTV network - can't remember which show. The low temp isn't a typo - it cooks at 250 degrees. The flavor and taste are exceptional. Great for a Sunday dinner with garlic mashed potatoes and Sauerkraut with Apples #53036 - this recipe came from the same show. Hope you enjoy - it's a favorite of ours.
Top Review by Chef Willa
I like brined chicken so i thought i'd try this with a pork loin, since pork loin roast can easily turn out dry. Nice results BUT I brined my 4.5lb. roast for two hours, not the eight hours called for in the recipe. I also preheated my oven to 450 degrees and cooked the roast for about 15 minutes initially and then turned the temperature down to 250 degrees. I also did not salt the meat before putting into oven--the brining and the bacon add enough salt. Results: very moist roast.
Ingredients Nutrition
- 8 cups water
- 1⁄4 cup coarse salt
- 3 tablespoons sugar
- 3 bay leaves
- 2 whole cloves
- 1 cinnamon stick
- 2 teaspoons whole black peppercorns
- 1 clove garlic, smashed
- 7 rib pork loin roast (or whatever size your family needs)
- salt and pepper, to taste.
- 6 -8 slices bacon (enough slices to cover the top of roast)
Directions See How It's Made
- Bring water, salt and sugar to boil.
- Add bay leaves, cloves, cinnamon stick, peppercorns and garlic.
- Simmer 5 minutes.
- Remove from heat and let cool to room temp.
- Pour over pork roast and marinate a minimum of 8 hours or overnight.
- Drain.
- Pre-heat oven to 250 degrees.
- Season meat with salt and pepper.
- Place in a roasting pan with meat side down.
- Drape bacon slices over the roast so the top and sides are covered with the bacon.
- Bake in pre-heated oven until internal temperature of the meat is 140 degrees.
- (Approx. 2 hours+ depending on roast size.) Let roast rest about 20 minutes before slicing.
- I've found it easiest to cut with an electric knife with the meat down and ribs up- slicing between the rib bones.

In zebrafish, bgp and mgp (show MGP ELISA Kits) mRNAs were localized in all mineralized tissues during and after calcification including bone and calcified cartilage of branchial arches.
the uncarboxylated form of osteocalcin does not trigger Akt (show AKT1 ELISA Kits) phosphorylation and glucose uptake by itself but promotes insulin (show INS ELISA Kits)-induced glucose uptake in myotubes, probably by up-regulating Akt (show AKT1 ELISA Kits) signaling through ERK (show EPHB2 ELISA Kits) activation
The Twist2 (show TWIST2 ELISA Kits)-Cre, Osterix (show SP7 ELISA Kits)-Cre and osteocalcin-Cre lines to generate conditional beta1 integrin deletions, were used to investigate the role of beta1 integrins on skeletal phenotype.
OCN is gamma-carboxylated by the gamma-carboxylase (GGCX (show GGCX ELISA Kits)) on three glutamic acid residues, a cellular process requiring reduction of vitamin K by a second enzyme, VKORC1 (show VKORC1 ELISA Kits).
results showed an increase in the expression of Cbfa1 (show RUNX2 ELISA Kits) and OCN in fibroblasts and osteoblasts exposed to fluoride.
Data indicate that Ca2 (show CA2 ELISA Kits)+ binding triggered a similar conformational transition in both gamma-carboxyglutamic acid-containing protein osteocalcin (Gla (show GLA ELISA Kits)-OCN) and Glu (show GCG ELISA Kits)-OCN from a disordered structure to a more compact/stable form.
In primary adipocytes, both carboxylated and uncarboxylated osteocalcin increased basal and insulin (show INS ELISA Kits)-stimulated glucose transport.
Taken together, these findings demonstrate that SMILE negatively regulates osteocalcin via a direct interaction with RUNX2 (show RUNX2 ELISA Kits)
Osteoblast-specific expression of Fra-2 (show FOSL2 ELISA Kits)/AP-1 (show JUN ELISA Kits) controls adiponectin (show ADIPOQ ELISA Kits) and osteocalcin expression and affects metabolism.
contribution of OC-OPN (show SPP1 ELISA Kits) to fracture toughness is related to their presence at the extrafibrillar organic-mineral interfaces
Insulin (show INS ELISA Kits) resistance in osteoblasts led to a decrease in circulating levels of the active form of osteocalcin, thereby decreasing insulin (show INS ELISA Kits) sensitivity in skeletal muscle.
Total and undercarboxylated osteocalcin levels were significantly correlated with insulin (show INS ELISA Kits) secretion and insulin (show INS ELISA Kits) resistance indices, but not adiponectin (show ADIPOQ ELISA Kits) levels, in pregnant women.
Osteocalcin and Sex Hormone Binding Globulin (show SHBG ELISA Kits) Compete on a Specific Binding Site of GPRC6A (show GPRC6A ELISA Kits).
Osteocalcin plays an essential role for the maturation of mineral species and modulates osteogenic differentiation of mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs).
Serum osteocalcin levels in pediatric obstructive sleep apnea hypopnea syndrome patients were significantly lower than normal controls before adenotonsillectomy.

the BMP-2 (show BMP2 ELISA Kits)/Smad1 (show GARS ELISA Kits)/5/RUNX2 (show RUNX2 ELISA Kits) signaling pathway participates in the silicon-mediated induction of COL-1 and osteocalcin synth
Data indicate that lower osteocalcin was an independent predictor of worse cognitive performance on multivariate analysis.
A common polymorphism rs1800247 in osteocalcin gene may effect the risk of osteoporosis and fracture and serum osteocalcin levels in Chinese.
Osteopontin, osteocalcin and OB-cadherin expression in Synthetic nanohydroxyapatite vs bovine hydroxyapatite cultured Osteoblastic-like cells.
Data suggest that helical content of 3 Glu (show DCTN1 ELISA Kits)-OCN is 57% and is independent of calcium binding; 3 Glu (show DCTN1 ELISA Kits)-OCN contains 3 alpha-helices around a hydrophobic core; study includes first high-resolution structure of bovine 3 Glu (show DCTN1 ELISA Kits)-OCN using X-ray crystallography.
Serum osteocalcin levels in non-periparturient Holstein dairy cows were highest in the youngest cows, decreasing with age until time of first calving. In periparturient cows, serum osteocalcin levels were higher in primiparous than in multiparous cows.
Osteocalcin is released from the bone matrix during bone resorption as intact molecules and fragments; serum osteocalcin should be considered as a marker of bone turnover rather than bone formation

By Ernie Tremblay, Biotech Investing Specialist, Money Morning -
Gilead Sciences Inc.'s Sovaldi was a real breakthrough in the fight against the chronic liver disease hepatitis C (HCV). The condition may show no symptoms for years after initial infection but can slowly become debilitating.
Hepatitis C affects as many as 200 million people worldwide, and before Sovaldi, the approved drug regimen could treat only about 50% of cases and could cause serious side effects. Treatment was generally long - 24 to 48 weeks - and arduous.
Sovaldi, on the other hand, could cure more than 90% of cases in a matter of weeks at a cost, in the United States, of around $94,000. The pricing caused controversy, but the drug proved transformative for HCV patients, their families, and doctors.
Sovaldi also proved a huge windfall for investors when it received FDA approval in 2013 and entered the pharmaceutical marketplace the following year.
So far, Gilead shareholders have seen a 2:1 split, several dividend payouts, and gains of more than 155% since 2013. Sales of Sovaldi and Gilead's other HCV drug, Harvoni, topped $12.5 billion in 2015 alone.
There's just one big, expensive problem...

Biotech stocks have stalled in 2016 along with the broader markets, with the iShares Nasdaq Biotech ETF (Nasdaq: IBB) down 24.43% year to date.
Still, Money Morning Biotech Investing Specialist Ernie Tremblay says the sector will outperform in 2016. And he's pinpointed one foundational play that's already climbed 14% in the last five days.
But first, here's why biotech stocks are presenting a huge opportunity right now...

Sometimes Washington triggers a stock move that can hand us outsized gains. That's exactly what happened with Gilead Sciences Inc. (Nasdaq: GILD).
In March 2014, U.S. Rep. Henry Waxman (D-CA) lashed out at the cost of Gilead's newly approved Hepatitis C (HCV) drug, Sovaldi. Sovaldi runs $84,000, or $1,000 a pill.
But Waxman missed the obvious. Sovaldi (and its newer version Harvoni) cures 90% of HCV patients. That means patients can avoid the need for a liver transplant - an operation that runs $250,000 if an organ donor is found. And that price doesn't include antirejection drugs and antibiotics people must take for the rest of their lives.
Still, Gilead sold off on fears that its high cost would make Medicare look to another HCV drug maker with a less expensive solution. GILD stock lost 13% of its value in a matter of days.
Wall Street was dead wrong...
Medicare actually spent $4.6 billion on Hepatitis C treatments in the first six months of this year. That's almost as much as the agency spent in all of 2014. Gilead accounted for 66% of all covered prescriptions.
And since April 2014, Gilead has gained 66.5% - more than four times that of the S&P 500.
Simply put, Gilead dominates the HCV sector. And as I'll show you today, opportunities for the firm are growing faster...

Biotech ETFs have been the focus of many investors this week after Valeant Pharmaceuticals Intl. Inc. (NYSE: VRX) shares dropped more than 46% last week.

My College Closet
On the top of my wardrobe, I keep my Hunter boots and shoe boxes that are too big to fit inside. I also keep my larger tote bags flat on the top left side. On the shelf inside, I have two bins that I keep my purses, belts, and clutches inside of. I keep sandals, flats, and tennis shoes in my hanging shoe organizer. I keep the shoes that don't fit in the organizer on the bottom. The mirrors on the doors of the wardrobe were already there when I moved in. They are so handy to have!
From left to right: First, I have my vests hanging, followed by my jackets, flannels, oxford button downs, tees, dressier tops, dresses, and skirts. I recommend using slim felt hangers since they take up less space. I store my workout clothing, swimsuits, sleepwear, and big tee shirts in drawers under my bed. It's nothing too exciting, so I didn't take pictures of that!
I store my jewelry and accessories in an acrylic organizer I got from the Container Store. I love it because I can see what's inside without having to open the drawers and look through them. I keep small odds and ends inside the two blue and white boxes I got from TJ Maxx. I usually keep my glasses on top of those boxes so I know where they are when I take my contact lenses out. Sometimes, I'll forget to put my glasses there and I won't be able to see to find them!
I keep my sunglasses on top of the acrylic organizer. I store bracelets, watches, and rings in the first drawer, delicate necklaces in the second drawer, and statement necklaces in the bottom drawer.
How do you store your clothing and accessories in your dorm room? If you have any tips, feel free to share them below!

Bhopal, Sep 19 (UNI) The Confederation of Indian Industry (CII) today urged the Madhya Pradesh Government to abolish entry tax on goods manufactured and sold within the state to ''protect its industry''.
Led by its Western Region Chairman Shrinivas V Dempo, a CII delegation called on Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan here and submitted a memorandum, which also demanded extension of exemption from entry tax for all motor vehicle parts being used by automobile manufacturing companies, withdrawal of increase on development charges on leasehold land by MPAKVN, implementation of the Industrial Township Act, benefits of SMES on expansion and exemption of large-scale industries from form 88.
Terming the entry tax as ''irrational in the present global competitive business,'' it pointed out that all materials -- raw material as well as finished goods -- being purchased and sold in Madhya Pradesh are subjected to three per cent entry tax -- one per cent on raw materials purchased and two per cent on finished goods being sold.
However, industries based in other states, which are not charging entry tax, get competitive advantage when they sell their products in Madhya Pradesh.
Pointing out that neighbouring states of Maharashtra and Gujarat have announced abolition of octroi without introducing any entry tax, it suggested that Madhya Pradesh should also abolish it to make its industry competitive.
It felt that hike in entry tax from 1 per cent to 2 per cent on iron and steel and lubricants, which was highest as compared to other states, had hampered the industrial growth severely.
A similar tax increase on coal had impacted coal prices. It also regretted the poor quality and shortage of coal in the state.
Observing that tyre industry was presently operating at a very thin margin due to global competition, it requested the Chief Minister to withdraw entry tax on sale of tyre, tube and flaps.
It also called for restoration of exemption on entry tax on expansion in existing units.
It demanded specific entry tax exemption for industrial units in backward areas if their product is sent for intermediary processing from one local area to another area, saying these units are required to get their product processed at multi-stages within the state.
''At present, entry tax is levied even if the goods are sent for intermediary processing from one local area to another local area.
This tax at both the stages leads to cascading effect of taxation and unit does not remain competitive,'' he added.

performance charts
- Bronze, 100 points or more
I know that there is that chart for most routers but is there one that shows the same for switches? and Etherswitch Modules?
The Mpps rating for the various 3750 tops out at 38.7 Mpps. Those with lessor ratings appear to be wire speed or line rate for the number of ports supported by the switch. This holds for up to about 24 Gig ports or so. I would guess the network modules might support wire speed or line rate since most(?) offer mainly FE ports. (This is guess is also supported by the first bullet point from the question I posted.)

Not many Indian restaurants in Paddington have a wine list that offers Château Lafite 1995 at £495 or, perhaps more to the point, mineral water at £6 for 800ml. It was that Voss brand which looks as though decanted into large shampoo bottles.
Jasbinder Singh, chef of the recently opened Jamuna, has trained with the Oberoi group and worked at Cinnamon Club and Mint Leaf. He has brought along with him their sort of high-end pricing, but it sits awkwardly in a Paddington front room with serried ranks of tables and mustard-coloured walls.
That kind of setting doesn't prepare you for black cod at £27 or Rajasthani venison at £22 or, indeed, steamed rice at £3.50. We picked our way carefully through what seemed like a minefield of prices, not because it was Indian food but because of the surroundings, service and assiduous portion control.
I like to share dishes when eating an Indian meal but servings here meant that divvying up (delectable) khilley phool made of broccoli with cheese, green chillies and cinnamon gave us about a sprig and a half each.
Pan-fried chicken cakes (murgh bemisal) and lamb-and-lentil patties (shami kebab), slightly more generously dealt out, were well made, vigorously spiced, and garnished with curling strings of raw carrot and beetroot which added to the overall impact.
Marinated lamb chops cooked in the tandoor can usually be relied upon to please, and they did, but we would have liked to see more for £20.
The flavours of fresh ginger, coriander and curry leaves sang out in southern Indian mapla chicken, but without wanting to sound hopelessly greedy, it was also a paltry portion. Kitchen margins must surely thrill the accountant when curried chick peas and also dal are £7 a serving.
Never mind the Château Lafite - apparently two bottles have been sold to Americans - the wines generally are lavishly marked-up, way beyond rationality. If the owners want a successful restaurant with appeal to locals they should slash the prices.
That way the definitely superior cooking of Mr Singh could play to a wider audience than - on the night we were there - a restaurant critic on expenses and a table of American businessmen.

Green Berets standing up Afghan Army
|3rd Special Forces Group (Airborne)
by Gunnery Sgt. Charles Portman
Kabul, AFGHANISTAN (Army News Service, May 21, 2002) - Teaching multi-ethnic Afghan recruits soldiering skills may be a new phase in the global war on terrorism, but for Green Berets, training foreign soldiers is a core mission they have mastered.
In recent years, Green Berets from 1st Battalion, 3rd Special Forces Group (Airborne) have traveled to many remote places around the globe completing missions De Oppresso Liber, the motto under which they operate, that means "To Free the Oppressed."
"This is what we do," said Lt. Col. Kevin M. McDonnell, commander of the unit. "This is one of our core missions, and it's really a privilege to be involved."
Unified commanders commonly issue orders to U.S. Army Special Forces to engage in foreign internal defense, or FID missions -- missions similar to the current Afghan National Army training mission, as a means of implementing their regional stability strategies.
Special Forces soldiers conduct FID and unconventional warfare missions during both times of peace and as part of a war, McDonnell said.
"For most of these soldiers here (in Afghanistan), this is the opportunity of a career," McDonnell said.
In 1996, the battalion was the first U.S. Special Operations unit to conduct African Crisis Response Initiative training, a program where Green Berets worked with various African states to create effective, rapidly-deployable peacekeeping units. To date, more than 5,500 African troops have been trained under the program.
More recently, in Operation Focus Relief, the unit contributed to United Nations peacekeeping operations in several West African countries. The Focus Relief initiative equipped and trained seven battalions from West African countries on how to conduct peace enforcement operations in Sierra Leone. The training concluded in December 2001.
U.S. Green Berets from McDonnell's unit now are faced with the daunting challenge of developing the nucleus of a national army with recruits representing all provinces within Afghanistan. The unit is ready to form one new battalion every two weeks if the Afghanistan Interim Authority's recruiting efforts can supply such a demand. With current resources, training of up to four battalions can take place simultaneously.
"We are perfectly capable of handling 2,400 recruits at any given time," McDonnell said.
U.S. instructors are also establishing a cadre of commissioned and non-commissioned Afghan officers who eventually will take over the country's military training programs.
Many watching as a new Afghanistan evolves wonder whether an effective national army can be built with men representing the country's various ethnic groups.
It is the hope of at least one Afghan recruit that a new country with a strong, unified army succeeds. Mohammed Ali, 26, originally of Kabul, has been training for two weeks. He left Afghanistan about nine years ago to flee bad living conditions. When the interim government was formed "and the conditions started getting better," Ali said, "I decided to join the army to be trained for our people and to serve along with soldiers from all nationalities; with the Pashtuns, Tajiks, and the Hazaras."
Ali, a Hazara himself, said he hopes the people of Afghanistan come together for this cause.
"I believe that all nationalities in Afghanistan have to come together because we have suffered a lot. And, God willing, we will come together," Ali said.
U.S. Special Forces instructors are fully aware of the ethnic lines built around many of the trainees' pasts, and are motivated about doing their share when it comes to building what is hoped to be a racially unbiased army.
Captain Slim, an operational detachment team leader using his nickname for security reasons, says the morale of his men is outstanding. His team was among the first to start training Afghan recruits, "paving the way for the future of Afghanistan," he said.
"To be able to say we were a part of this . . . is extremely exciting," Slim said. "Several weeks from now when the training is completed, I'm confident it will be a very rewarding experience."
McDonnell said the end-state of the effort will be "an Afghan National Army capable of providing for the security of its people within its borders, and to ensure a stable environment that will foster the development of its economic and civilian institutions and infrastructure."

Blue Moon Fiber Arts: Serendipity
I am so proud of my self. I indulged myself and joined the Blue Moon Fiber Arts Sock Club. I played and played with needle size and sock size to get the yarn to strip and not pool. I did it. I finished the project within a reasonable period of time....only two months behind at this time. Not only was the stripping cool, but I really loved the star toe and the method of shortrowing the heel.
The Maryland Sheep fesital is this weekend, a very dangerous development for me; but the most fun! http://www.sheepandwool.org/

Rhonda Meets the Yarn Harlot
Last Monday the Yarn Harlot spoke in Annapolis. Lou and I made the journey. This is picture of me and Stephanie Pearl-McPhee. She is holding my Rainbow Socks and I am holding the sock that she photographs through her book tour and my autographed copy of her latest book.
Stephanie got very excited about the Rainbow Socks that I finished. She is going to make a pair for her friend. However, she will not publish the yarn on her blog until she purchases it, because everybody else will buy and the yarn will be sold out before she can buy it. This is a picture of me and the socks that appeared on her blog. I am now famous!!!!!!

10 Best Running Skirts Rated & Compared
Current fashions are aligning with high performance workout wear. This makes it a lot easier to take a run and then literally run to the grocery store, your kid's school or even the office without needing to change. Athletic clothes serve a fitness purpose and nowadays, they're designed to be on-trend, too.
10 Best Running Skirts
1. LuLulemon
Lululemon never disappoints when it comes to providing a sleek and substantial work out product. The Lost in Pace running skirt is no exception. The material provides a flowy outer skirt with built-in shorts beneath. The combination is super functional and fashionable.
The running skirt is made for running, first and foremost, but the design accommodates all occasions to include an outing to the park or a bite to eat downtown. The built-in liner has a nice grip at the hem, so it stays where it should even during the longest or most rugged run. Hidden pockets keep personal belongings safe and intact, and a cord exit helps headphones stay in place.
Added Lycra fibre gives a nice stretch while providing excellent shape retention and the medium rise means greater coverage and comfort. Basically this skirt means awesome appearance and excellent performance.
Lululemon gear can be a bit pricey, but in this case, the value is truly worth every penny.
- Excellent stretch and retention
- Hidden pockets for phone or keys with exit cord for headphones.
- Breezy top skirt for cool, go anywhere styling
- A bit expensive
2. Tasc Performance Rhythm
Don't be fooled by the appearance of this fun, flirty skirt. The Tasc Performance Rhythm Skirt is all about the performance. It just happens to look adorable at the same time. This skirt could easily be mistaken for a fashion-specific piece, between its flattering wide waistband and flowy, flirty material. Make no mistake: this moisture-wicking, anti-odor fabric with SPF 50+ sun protection can handle tough trail runs, hard core treadmill work outs or several laps around the track.
The inner shorts boast a back zipper media pocket with an exit cord to keep headphones in place. MOSOtesh shorts mean staying dry all day. After your run you can still participate in daily activities without feeling uncomfortable. It's safe to say you won't feel the residue of your workout at all!
Stylish, uniquely designed with high performance elements all at a reasonable price. Excellent value.
- Perfect blend of polyester and Lycre spandex for a great fit and great function
- 35% organic cotton
- Flattering wide waist band for all types of tummies
- Cute side ruching for a fun, flirty look
- A little on the pricey side
- May be considered slightly short for size "Tall"
3. The North Face Better Than Naked
This running skirt really will help runners haul. The Better than Naked Long Haul Skirt makes a great fashion statement and seriously goes the distance. The liner shorts feature North Face FlashDry fabric which means that whether it's a marathon or trail event, runners will stay dry while looking great. The air flow and comfortability can only mean more fun on the run.
The Long Haul makes fitness easier with a skirt equipped for ease and practicality. The wide waistband means no fussing with placement, and maximum storage allows for sunblock, cell phone and an exit cord. Style isn't sacrificed for function. Runners may not be distracted by their Better Than Naked Long Haul Skirt, but the skirt will definitely cause its share of distractions. The 13.5" running skirt with 3" inseam liner shorts is cute enough to wear beyond the scope of fitness. So comfortable and stylish it could easily become a favorite fashion piece as well as your best fitness wear.
Excellent price for the many elements that make this skirt not only high performance, but also high style!
- Flashdry feature for ultimate comfort
- Kangaroo back pocket with maximum storage
- Support 360-degree reflective logos
- Built-in compressive liner short
- Some claim size is not true; may run small
4. Skirt Sports Gym Girl Ultra
This running skirt is definitely girly, in a good way. It's also available in sizes 0-22, making it accessible to many body types. The compressive mesh fabric helps to keep the built-in shorts in place, and slits on either side of the skirt offer additional movement. The backside offers an added inch of coverage. Two pockets and a sonic music port makes for more storage and more pleasure on long distance runs or day hikes.
This running skirt proves that sportswear never has to look un-girly while taking fitness seriously.
A lovely silhouette with incredible function at a reasonable value. Now that's what every girl wants!
- High tech fabric for performance
- 2 pocket design for additional storage
- Wide range of sizes and colors
- Pink may not be a true pink.
- Slits on sides of skirt reveal short beneath.
5. Sparkle Athletic Running
What woman doesn't want a sparkle running skirt in their wardrobe? As adorable as this sparkly, sequined fabric is, don't forget about its awesome function. Made by Sparkle Athletic in the USA, the semitransparent polyester fabric is lightweight with a wide waistband for support.
This skirt is extra fun for special events like holiday or other themed marathons and relays. You can't be missed in this skirt, which also makes it a reasonable choice for safer city street runs.
It does double duty as a great fashion accessory. Match it to any type of top, from a sweatshirt, oversized sweater or simple tank and you've got an adorable look that translates flawlessly from street style to street run.
Don't forget your shorts – this running skirt is sans under shorts. But for the price, it's worth adding your own, or sleek leggings for a different look altogether.
- Excellent value for the reasonable price
- Festive, fun for special event runs and marathons
- Range of colors
- Shorts not attached.
6. Skirt Sports Lotta Breeze
This running skirt uniquely offers a built-in legging, which makes for an all-season fitness and fashion dream. The semi compression, polyester Lycra mesh and spandex blend fabric is moisture wicking with a flowy skirt that offers a great look and feel for varying temperatures and runs.
With four pockets for storage, runners have plenty of room for necessities on their person. Get lost in the great outdoors and don't forget your music - the built-in Sonic Music Port makes listening easy.
The skirt-legging combination is slightly expensive, but it's truly a two-for-one - a perfect union of fashion and fitness. Always enjoy for the function and sometimes just for fun!
- Leggings transcend seasons and temperatures
- More coverage
- Wide range of sizes for all body types
- The Capris component may not be secure enough for some customers.
- A bit pricey
7. Smartwool Corbet 120
What's not to love about this running skirt? A unique blend of Merino wool, polyester and fill means uber cozy running with super cool styling. As warm and wonderful as this skirt is, it's also quite functional with a Merino lined front panel and collar for sweat and odor management. The Smartloft wool allows protection and thermoregulation even when wet, so go ahead and enjoy a run in snowy or rainy conditions. A two-way zipper adds further ventilation while making for easy-on and off.
Every on-trend runner will fall in love with this skirt. Choose from fun colors like fuchsia pink, yellow, red, printed or more subdued hues like gray and black. We love that the front length is a perfect mini at 13" while the back provides additional coverage with 15" length. You'll look fashionable sipping hot cocoa after a trail run in this stylish running skirt.
The price is a little high, but the value is worth it. This will definitely be a go-to piece for your fashion and fitness needs all season long, season after season.
- Thermoregulated for warmth with Smartloft wool
- Fashionably fitted with straight lines for a sleek silhouette
- Dual zippers for on/off ease
- Higher price
- May run big, review size chart
8. La Sportiva Andromeda

The Andromeda comes with built in SPF 50 sun protection. Other quality elements include a specialized antibacterial treatment, quick-dry fabric and a body mapped venting system. All of this comprised to create a megastar running skirt. La Sportiva brings high tech to fitness gear and this skirt is no exception. For serious runners or those who just want to play in the sun, the Andromeda is an excellent choice.
Reasonably priced and great for all weather by either un-layering or adding a pair of leggings, it's an awesome value.
- Light weight material with high tech features like body mapped ventilation and SPF 50
- Great color choices, range of sizes available
- Aesthetic that performs on and off the track
- No shorts or under attached garment
9. Pool Ultra Swift
This lightweight running skirt comes in a pretty blue or soft pink hue. Lovely for spring and summer, this running skirt offers a feminine appeal along with nice performance elements. The flat seams and reverse hems alleviate chafing issues. Matching mesh compression shorts boast a longer inseam that translates into a fit that stays put.
Two Velcro enclosure pockets provide nice storage for cards, keys, lip balm or other personals. A third pocket on back makes a great place for music devices. It's a perfect skirt for an afternoon run followed by an early dinner with friends – no change necessary!
The material is so breezy it's easy to forget you're wearing the skirt at all – even on long trail runs. It's also easy to forget it's a running skirt with its beautiful fashion appeal. It's hard to decide which we love more: its look or its performance. While it can provide dual efficiency, it might very well become a favorite fashion accessory this spring for multiple events.
This quality skirt with its built-in shorts makes a great buy.
- Great price for quality wear
- Three pockets for additional storage
- Offered in pastel hues only
10. Nike Rival Running
You can't go wrong when it comes to the Nike Women's Rival Running Skirt, with its adjustable hemline, flattering side draw strings and peek-a-boo under short. The flash of black beneath the hot pink or other bright hues makes a bold statement. The design means business, trend-wise and performance-wise.
The Nike Rival makes quite an entrance with its form-fitting great look, but let's not forget what it can do to enhance your run. DRI-Fit technology in Nike fabric wicks away sweat and moisture to keep you focused on your fitness, never distracted by discomfort. The 4" inseam, built-in contrasting short provides a secure fit and cute contrast with this trend-on skirt.
A center back pocket with zipper offers storage with security. Take along your phone, keys or cash and never worry about loss. The focus needs to be the run. Between the DRI-Fit technology and secure pocketing, your thoughts will be on the trail, and nothing else.
Of course the design of the Nike Rival running skirt is flawless. We like that the drawstrings are adjustable, so that runners can show as much or as little of their contrasted short as they wish. For after-fitness activities, lowering the skirt below the short makes for a cute, everyday skirt. Throw on a sweater or tee-shirt and your performance running skirt just got some great street style.
The skirt is on the higher end, but since it doubles as a fashion statement, it's worth it!
- Accessible, zippered pocket for added security
- Bright, fun hues
- Nike patented DRI-FIT technology to wick away sweat and moisture well
- Prices vary by color, and brighter hues lean toward expensive
Life is hectic and having workout apparel that translates into daily fashion means time and money savings. The latest running skirts are no exception, taking both fitness and style to a new level. The function and feel of running skirts is only matched by how great they look for running and for running around.
The following best-of list will help you narrow down the search for the coolest, most athletic and aesthetic looks available right now.

<a href="http://www.vogue.co.uk/brand/adam-lippes">ADAM LIPPES is a name that might not resonate as quickly as some of those among the New York Fashion Week line-up but it is one that should nevertheless. Lippes earned his stripes at Oscar de la Renta – as global creative director - before launching his own line in 2004. And since doing so he's garnered himself quite the legion of fans - in Harrods' Marigay McKee, the British Fashion Council and Net-a-Porter's Natalie Massenet and Oprah Winfrey. The designer was invited on the television presenter's show because she was such a fan of his T-shirts. But Lippes doesn't just do T-shirts – though it's clear he has come from a basics-orientated background, fusing his time with Ralph Lauren with that of his de la Renta education: loose and loungey dresses that could be blouses too; satin boxer bloomers of long-skirt length; bandeau tops made ready for evening and touches of lace here and there.
