The Northern Territory is rebuffing overtures from the federal government to bring back the Banned Drinkers Register (BDR).
Indigenous Affairs Minister Jenny Macklin on Tuesday was in Darwin to release guidelines for alcohol management plans in the NT.
During the visit, she told reporters: "We have called on the NT government to reinstate the Banned Drinkers Register."
The register meant anyone buying takeaway alcohol had to have identification, such as a driver's licence scanned. About 2000 problem drinkers were on a list denying them purchase of alcohol.
But the Country Liberal Party (CLP), which took office in the NT in August last year, said the BDR did not work and scrapped the measure.
NT Chief Minister Terry Mills met with Ms Macklin on Tuesday and told her the NT would not rethink introducing the BDR.
"She asked a number of times would I reconsider and the answer is no," Mr Mills said.
"It is a scheme that doesn't work," he told AAP.
Asked whether he feared the federal government would use its power to force the NT to re-introduce the BDR, Mr Mills said discussions were continuing.
"We want to deal with the problem but we don't believe that the BDR is an effective measure to deal with the problem," he said.
Earlier Ms Macklin met with Aboriginal groups and said they had made it clear they understood the damage alcohol was doing to their communities.
"That is why they support the development of alcohol management plans. That is why Aboriginal people support the introduction of the banned drinkers register," Ms Macklin said.
Fellow Labor MP Warren Snowdon said the days when the federal government imposed measures on the NT should be over.
"We are past the day when the Commonwealth should have to intervene in the Northern Territory," Mr Snowdon said.
Ms Macklin was asked whether some communities would be able to have alcohol restrictions lifted under the new guidelines.
"It is not about how to bring back full strength beer," she said.
"I certainly won't be agreeing to any alcohol management plans that don't reduce harm."
But a fact sheet on the new guidelines shows communities can seek to have restrictions lifted.
"Applications will be considered very carefully to make sure improvements to the safety of women, children and families in communities are not lost," the sheet states.

Weber Gas Grill
We love this grill! It's small, portable and perfect for tailgating. We're huge football fans and have already found it to be extremely practical to use right before heading into the big game. It features a stainless steel burner, a removable drip tray and a push-button ignition for easy, reliable lighting. It even comes with 2 folding tables and tool holders - really can't beat the deal! We're so happy with our purchase and wouldn't have it any other way!

Schrage says making dumplings was serious business in his family when he was growing up, and for the longest time only his mother was allowed to do it. "It was only after a lot of practice that my older brother or I would be allowed to help prepare the dumplings for our New Year's meal. It was almost a rite of passage," he says. Though it is traditional to make dumplings for New Year's celebrations, Schrage enjoys eating them so much that now he makes them year-round.
Chef Chris Yeo serves a delicate array of dim sum at his restaurant Sino in San Jose, California, and says, "Dim sum, a type of dumpling, means 'a little something from the heart' and symbolizes fortune and good luck. They are small and shaped like coins, further emphasizing the good luck symbol." He adds that dumplings resemble the ingots that once were China's currency, so eating them brings hope of an auspicious and fortunate year. Some cooks stuff a lump of sugar in a dumpling to ensure sweetness! And there is even a tradition of hiding a coin in a dumpling now and then. "If you don't break a tooth [when you eat the coin-filled dumpling], you are considered lucky for the year," says Yeo.
Steamed Pork Dumplings (Siu Mai)
Recipe by Farina Kingsley, author of several Asian cookbooks, and creator of the new Farina's Asian Pantry cooking app for iPhone/iPad.
Yield: 30 dumplings
Prep Time: 45 minutes Cook Time: 30 minutes
Inactive Prep Time: 20 minutes
Ease of preparation: intermediate
2 cups minced napa cabbage (reserve 8 whole leaves for steaming)
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
8 ounces ground pork or ground chicken
1/2 cup minced peeled fresh water chestnuts or canned water chestnuts
3 green onions (scallions), minced
1 tablespoon minced fresh ginger
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 tablespoons light soy sauce
1 tablespoon Chinese rice wine
1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
1/4 teaspoon sugar
1/8 teaspoon ground white pepper
1 1/2 tablespoons cornstarch, plus more for sprinkling
1 package dumpling or wonton wrappers
1/4 cup frozen diced carrots, thawed
1/4 cup frozen peas, thawed
Chili-Soy Dipping Sauce:
1/4 cup light soy sauce
1 tablespoon rice vinegar
1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil
1 tablespoon warm water
1/2 teaspoon chili paste
1/8 teaspoon sugar
1 teaspoon minced fresh ginger
1 green onion (scallion), minced
1 clove garlic, minced
For the dumplings: Place the minced cabbage and 1 teaspoon of the salt in a large bowl. Mix well and let the salt leach the cabbage of water for 20 minutes.
Meanwhile, make the dipping sauce by whisking together all the ingredients in a small bowl. Set aside until ready to serve.
For the filling, combine the pork, water chestnuts, green onions, ginger, garlic, soy sauce, rice wine, sesame oil, sugar, pepper, cornstarch, and the remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt in a large bowl and mix well.
Use your hands to squeeze the water out of the minced cabbage. Discard the water and mix the dry cabbage with the pork until well combined. Chill until ready to make the dumplings.
Sprinkle a baking sheet lightly with cornstarch. To form the dumplings, place a wrapper in your palm and brush water along the edge. Spoon a heaping tablespoon of filling in the center of the wrapper. Gather up the edges to form a basket. This is a dumpling that is open at the top.
Place the dumpling on the baking sheet, making sure to flatten the bottom of the dumpling so it sits upright. Press any excess filling down into the dumpling and press a piece of carrot and a pea in the filling to secure. Repeat with the remaining filling and wrappers. (You may have wrappers left over.)
Bring a large pan or wok filled with 2 inches of water to a boil over high heat. Place a steaming rack in the wok. Line 2 plates with a single layer of cabbage leaves. Place 8 to 10 dumplings on each plate, leaving plenty of space between them. Set one plate of dumplings on the steaming rack, cover the pan with a lid and steam the dumplings for 10 minutes. Transfer the steamed dumplings to a warmed platter and serve them right away with the dipping sauce. Repeat with the remaining dumplings.

This is one old athlete who has found a way to cheat Father Time but not the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency. The latest target on the U.S.A.D.A's list: An 80-year-old weightlifter who was busted for steroids, according to The Associated Press. The agency that brought down Lance Armstrong announced a two-year suspension for Don Ramos of Colorado Springs, Colo., who tested positive for steroids while attempting to set a world record in his age group at the Pan American Masters Weightlifting Championships in June. USADA was contracted to test at the event for athletes 35 and older. The suspension means Ramos can't compete again until July 2015. Organizers of masters events have been cracking down on doping. Two years ago, USADA suspended nine masters athletes for positive tests, including one in his 50s and three in their 60s.
Pretty sad that after eighty years you still have to cheat and have yet to work hard for what is right!
for gods sake let him go. lol he is almost DEAD

DEBKAfile Special Report January 18, 2017
First Sgt. Erez Levy, 34, an officer in the operations branch of the Israel Police, was crushed to death Wednesday morning, Jan. 18, in a car-ramming attack at the Bedouin village of Umm-al-Hiran in the southern Negev region. Levy's murderer, a 47-year-old villager, a member of the southern branch of Israel's radical Islamic Movement, was shot and killed.
DEBKAfile Exclusive Report February 24, 2013
The furious Palestinian protesters of Hebron, Nablus and other West Bank towns and villages are in no mood to hear Israel's side of any dispute. Their violent protests will continue regardless of whether or not Arafat Jaradat died in jail from Israel mistreatment, as the Palestinian Authority claims, or of heart failure, as Israel replies. Mahmoud Abbas appears to count on reining in the violence whenever he decides it has exhausted its political usefulness. But most intelligence watchers think he is playing with fire.
DEBKAfile Special Report March 27, 2012
Israel boosted its Syrian and Lebanese border units as special flights carrying thousands of pro-Palestinian activists from Tehran touched down in Damascus for the international Global March to Jerusalem Friday, March 30. Before takeoff, they were split into small groups and tutored by Iranian Al Qods Brigades officers in tactics for breaching Israeli border barriers, bursting through and challenging the Israeli military forces defending the border. They go into action on Palestinian-backed Israel-Arab Earth Day to match disturbances in Israel and the West Bank.
DEBKAfile Special Report March 27, 2012
Despite Israeli warnings, the Palestinian Authority is for the first time making the annual Israeli-Arab Earth Day Friday, March 30 a joint Palestinian-Israel Arab event, organizing mass anti-Israel disturbances in Jerusalem, Jaffa and other places, while also instigating West Bankers to smash through Israeli border checkpoints. Syria too will bus thousands of Palestinians to storm Israel's northern border on the Golan. Both also aim to shake up the Arab summit in Baghdad. The PA is broke after Arab aid was cut off.
DEBKAfile Exclusive Report October 5, 2011
Has the Arab revolt reached Saudi Arabia? Wednesday, Oct. 5, the Ministry of Interior in Riyadh warned it would "strike with an iron fist" the enemies of the country's stability and security after 11 security officers were injured by automatic fire and Molotov bombs in Qatif, Saudi Arabia's richest oil center The Saudis did not name Iran, but blamed a "foreign country" for inciting the region's Shiites to armed violence against the royal regime.
DEBKAfile Special Report January 26, 2011
Hundreds of opposition activists were arrested by Egyptian security forces in Cairo, Alexandria and Suez Wednesday in an attempt to quell the stormy anti-government demonstrations which began sweeping Egyptian cities Tuesday, Jan. 25, before they get out of hand. After nightfall, hundreds braved the ban on street protests and gatherings and took to the streets of Cairo and Suez. Cairo reports 500 arrests, while debkafile's Middle East say the figure is closer to 1,000, including journalists.

These cupcakes are inspired by Thin Mints, my favorite Girl Scout cookies. The recipe manages to be light, fluffy and moist, all at the same time. It starts with a true all-American white birthday cake. The recipe is made with whipped egg whites and no yolks, so the color is bright white. It's perfect for adding color, but this time I left that to the mint icing. A thin layer of ganache between the cake and icing makes these just a touch more sophisticated, in case you are looking for a St. Patrick's Day treat to bring to work. The super creamy icing is one that I made from Vintage Cakes, an adorable addition to my cookbook collection. Thickening milk and flour together into a smooth paste, then adding it to creamed, sweetened butter gives the icing a luxurious texture. Despite the extra step, it is an easy recipe — my 11-year-old made it start to finish with perfect results. Add a touch of mint extract and a few caps full of Crème de menthe and these cupcakes taste just like a thin mint.
Thin Mint Cupcakes
Makes: 24 cupcakes
Prep time: 60 minutes
Bake time: 20 minutes
Skill: Easy
Vanilla cupcakes:
2 3/4 cups (8 ounces) sifted cake flour – sift the flour into the cup when measuring, not after it's measured.
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 cups sugar
2/3 cup vegetable oil
3/4 cup milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
5 egg whites
1 cup heavy cream
8 ounces bittersweet chocolate
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
pinch salt
1 teaspoon mint extract
Mint Icing adapted from Vintage Cakes by Julie Richardson:
1/4 cup (1 1/4 ounces) all-purpose flour
1 cup half-and-half
1 cup (two sticks) unsalted butter, room temperature
1 cup superfine sugar (sold as baker's sugar or you can make your own by pulsing sugar in a food processor. Using regular sugar may result in a grainy icing.)
Pinch salt
1 teaspoon mint extract
1 tablespoon Crème de menthe
1 drop green food coloring
Green sprinkles to decorate
To make and bake the cupcakes:
Prepare muffin tins with 24 cupcake liners.
Preheat oven to 350°F with rack in the middle of oven.
Sift together the cake flour, baking powder and salt into a bowl, set aside. In a large bowl, whisk together 1 cup sugar and oil. Add 1/3 of the flour and whisk to incorporate. Whisk in 1/2 the milk. Repeat with another 1/3 of the flour, and the remaining milk. Finish with the last of the flour, add the vanilla and mix until well combined.
Whip the egg whites in a clean bowl until foamy, then gradually sprinkle the remaining sugar over them and beat until eggs are soft peaks. You can see in my picture that they will not droop off the whip when lifted out of the egg foam, but they won't have a stiff peak either.
Gently fold the whites into the batter.
Divide the batter in to the cupcake liners.
Bake for about 18 to 20 minutes or until just starting to turn golden on the edges and a tester comes out clean.
To make the ganache:
In a saucepan heat the cream to a simmer, turn off the heat and add the chocolate and butter. Swirl the pan to make sure the chocolate is totally covered by the hot cream and allow to sit for 2 minutes. Add the salt and mint, gently whisk until smooth.
Spoon 1 tablespoon of the ganache over the cupcakes and smooth it to the edge, without going over.
Allow the cupcakes to sit in a cool spot so the ganache will harden slightly. If you are in a rush, refrigerate them for 10 minutes.
To make the icing:
In a saucepan whisk together the flour and half-and-half over medium heat.
Continue whisking until the mixture thickens.
Put the mixture into a container and cover the surface with plastic wrap. Refrigerate until just cooled to room temperature, about 20 minutes or 15 in the freezer. Cream the butter, sugar and salt until light and fluffy, about 5 minutes. Add the cooled flour/milk mixture and whip until perfectly smooth. Add the mint extract, Crème de menthe and green food coloring.
Once the ganache has set, fill a pastry bag, fitted with a large star tip, with the icing and decorate the cupcakes.
Leave a bit of the ganache showing under the icing.
Sprinkle with the green sprinkles.
Happy St. Patrick's Day!

"Just loved this whole suite. We are having a rehearsal luncheon for our son in a room with a lot of greenery so the design is perfect. Their wedding venue is outdoor so i this design is staying with the theme. Quality of the paper is fantastic. The only thing I wish was that the design was on the back of the place cards as well."
"I ordered these place cards because they fit my rustic spring wedding. I like the simplicity of the leaf pattern. I did not want a plain Placecard and when I looked through the choices, I fell in love with this design. I would definitely recommend this product to those who are considering it."
"I ordered these for my wedding for the tables and place cards. i then called to place a smaller order of the same cards with no writing on them so i can use them to label some family photos and favors etc. they came with the writing on them so i called and they fixed the problem right away and overnighted the correct cards."
"Designers were very helpful! Willing to add family passage to the back of our place cards and very fast delivery. Highly recommend!"
"Ordered a sample in the yellow. Paper quality is great. Paper is a little crinkly (ordered the basic paper) which I like. Paper stands up well. Love the colors. The website mock up is pretty darn close to the actual colors which is great!!"

Men do a lot of thinking before sex. Mainly, they think about how to get sex, what to eat in order to have the proper energy for sex, and how to have better sex. Our thinking during sex is much less complex.
During passionate sex, the conscious mind of a man is pretty much obsessed with feeling everything that's happening, and enjoying the act as much as possible. However, there's a sort of half-conscious, half-subconscious mind that kicks in, and its main function is to worry about performance.
Our big concern between the sheets is whether on not you're getting off, because men consider the female orgasm the sort of gold medal of the sexual Olympics.Well, most guys, anyways. Some of us understand that an orgasm isn't always the main goal for women, and we're happy to simply work toward mutual pleasure and making sex as enjoyable as possible. The vast majority of guys, though, worry endlessly on some level about whether or not you're having a good time. As the orgasm is the only surefire proof they have that sex was good, that's what they go for.
When this is the case, women can help guys get over this hang-up quite easily. All you've got to do is tell a guy that he's doing fine and that the sex is enjoyable. Telling him during and immediately after the act (regardless of whether an orgasm happened) is the perfect way to stop him from obsessing, and sex will improve overall (in most cases).
Men also think about sexual longevity, as you can probably tell from the huge amount of commercials and products out there that claim to "extend" sex. This sort of creates a paradox. Men want to have orgasms, because orgasms are, how can I put this? Awesome. Yet, they're also trying to hold off the orgasm, because it means the end of the party. It's kind of like going to a fireworks show — you don't want to go and just see the grand finale; you want a long series of eruptions before the finale begins. That might have been a bad metaphor choice for this situation.
Anyway, to avoid the orgasm, guys think about the most awful, unsexy stuff possible. What exactly this entails differs from guy to guy. Personally, I picture a dog crapping. As guys are very visual animals, this type of mental image can make sex last a lot longer–hey, don't knock it. We realize that it's not the most romantic thought process in the world.
Some guys avoid that technique entirely by simply extending foreplay, which can work great if their partners are on the same page. Guys are tenacious, and we'll find a way to make sex enjoyable, regardless of our limitations, given enough chances and with a little bit of guidance. During sex, that's all we're thinking about, really: How we can make everything better? Because, of course, if it's better; we'll naturally get more sex.
Yes, that's right, ladies. Even during sex, guys are basically thinking about how to get more sex.
