I always love C's posts, but this one is especially delish, and with Mother's Day just around the corner I'm sure some of you might need some instruction on the matter 😉
No, it is not a toad. Unless of course Mum loves toads or your Toad lives in a Hall.
The best Mother's Day present is probably not a skinny nosy chicken. Better to have a fat one, served with roasted rosemary potatoes and gravy scented with orange zest.
The best Mother's day present is not a poopy barn pigeon either. Or even two of them. Forget about a pigeon pie too. Too much cleaning up.
It is not the policeman sheep with her disinterested offspring on a muddy day. Though they are kind of cute on any day.
The Best Mother's Day present may not be three peacocks in a row waiting to be released. because they have to wait just a little longer. Though they are a close second I think.
No, the best present for a mother, because her five children are all grown and far away and…

Download: Five Free Acoustic Midlake Takes
Surely, by now, you've tackled the Herculean task of reading my "sprawling profile" of Midlake in this week's dead tree version of DC9, yeah? Good. Then you'll no doubt remember this part of the piece, in which the band shares its meticulous--and, OK, somewhat curious--approach to promotion:
Midlake, although game to produce all-acoustic tracks for [World Cafe]'s broadcast, has opted not to perform its songs in the broadcast studio. Rather, it's pre-recording those efforts here in its Denton base. The tracks are pretty much already completed; today's recording session is simply to add back-up vocals and minor instrumentation to the tracks.
"We've just learned that there are some things we will and won't do," bassist Paul Alexander says.
Pulido backs that sentiment: "Sometimes, there's just a give and take, and we've learned over the years that, sometimes, things don't work out the way you want them to."
Well, last week, five of the songs recorded as part of that session ("Winter Dies," "Acts of Man," "Small Mountain," "Rulers, Ruling All Things," and "Van Occupanther") were made available as part of a free week-long download hosted by one of the band's biggest UK supporters, The Guardian. Again, though: That was last week.
And, luckily for anyone who didn't want to subscribe to The Guardian's promotional material in exchange for the downloads, now that the week is over, the band's gone ahead and posted the five songs, which, together, it's calling "The Denton Sessions," for free download on its own site. They're pretty damn good, too--no surprise there--what with the band flexing its impressively restrained live talent muscle on each of these songs. And thus, we highly recommend you fecthing 'em down. Get 'em here.

Hip Hop is an ever-changing replica of the current emotional demand of the black community. Though an oppressed and rebellious art historically, hip hop consistently flips the dirty secrets of society on its ear, resulting in a beautiful and euphorically therapeutic craft. Rappers, MC's, and producers alike all contribute collaboratively into the ocean in which listeners swim through the waves of lyrics and sound, developing a deeper meaning of personal and societal construct.
Did I mention the ethnocentrism driven subconscious which accompanies each artists' persona, alluding to his or her predecessor's influence before them? We constantly see walking speaking remnants of the great advancers of hip hop in today's blend of modern music. A Tupac Shakur here, a Rakim there, Wu-Tang Clan descendants, Scarface derivatives, and Little Brother little brothers all dwell in the congregation of rap; All the while keeping in mind that these names only represent just some of the few legends and martyrs who's artisic imprints haunt the ideas of up and coming rappers from every corner of the globe. Now names like A$VP Rocky, Travi$ Scott, Joey Bada$$, and Kendrick Lamar lament in these teachings left behind, hoping to claim the thrones rightfully for their own. I have discovered that these impermeable bonds with the origins of this high scrutinized art form will forever guide the industry from above enabling appreciation from several generations of admirers.
What do all these words mean? We love hip hop. We love what it has done. And just like a parent experiments and learns through trial and error with their children as they grow and mature, so do we with the rap industry. Where it is now to in the grand scheme of things, who's to say? To philosophy and prophecize where it will go would be even more unavailing. All we can say is we understand what and why it has happened as well as why what did happen was so goddamned necessary. And for now in my opinion that is enough.

The women on Real Housewives of Beverly Hills are by far the richest in the Bravo dynasty. Athletes should understand the play ebook and apply it. Creating a business you must have a plan and apply it. Athletes are robust, decided, and highly motivated. While talking to most bleary eyed travelers I come across who need to open a business in Thailand I can easily see within a few minutes that they really have no idea what they are stepping into, particularly when they don't have a business plan. If you sell a product other businesses need for example, you can provide to do their challenge without cost if they are going to in turn place your business playing cards on their counter. Business branding is probably the most basic and important part to introduce your services or product to people. When I obtained out of the automobile to take the letter in, I tore the letter at the backside corner.
But a better examination reveals hidden gems like Delaware's personal Mascara and Mimosas Networking Brunch This group, inspired by the Boss Babe Academy throws formality out the window and strives to attain the opposite of traditional business: a noncompetitive atmosphere. Business account funds shall be made payable to the Company Name, while Individual accounts are paid out to the Payee Name of the account holder. I use GIMP or Photoshop sometimes in creating business card for me and for my associates.
Most business playing cards are printed immediately on either card stock or a glossy photo card stock (trust me – I used to work at a Staples Copy Center), however Moo truly locks the printing in place with a further, protective layer. Hi, I'm 13 and I tried starting my own business after I was eleven and it didn't work. How to use a word processing software or software to format a document for presentation or printing or distribution. These reveals give gold-diggers gasoline to imagine in an unrealistic lifestyle fairly then promoting being educated or business savvy. It appears to save money, nevertheless, I make business card for myself, it seems spent more on business card.
When customers are researching your agency or business online they will be doing it by way of Google. If the document will probably be distributed to people or organisations that won't be utilizing Microsoft phrase, it is best to save lots of the document inrtf format (Rich Text Format). In addition, as I suppose Justin Wolfers stated, when a businessman claims financial experience, bear in mind: business is about enriching yourself, economics is about making us all better off. I want to begin a business home/pet/sitting, something I do already in a neighborly means. I am going to track my starting a business in this weblog..every step of the best way if I can.

We eat marror-the bitter vegetableto remind us of the bitterness of slavery, and we eat matza to remember how quickly we left slavery behind. However, at the Seder night we reverse the chronological order, first we eat the matza and only then do we eat the marror. The standard explanation is that we follow the order they're presented in the Torah: with matza and marror you shall eat the paschal sacrifice – first matza is mentioned and then marror, and so we eat them in that order. Additionally, sometimes we need distance to understand how truly dreadful something was. Only after someone knows the meaning of freedom (matza), can they come to understand the full misery of slavery (marror).

This morning 31/1/2012 at 9.00a.m some 100 over Kg Railway Sentul Indian Settlement villagers descended to the Kuala Lumpur High Court at Jalan Duta carrying their banner "Save Kg Railway Sentul Indian Settlement as a National Heritage" and with the symbolic black steam engine locomotive.
At the lobby of the K.L High Court, shouts of Hindraf Valge reverberated, as if anything, only the 25th November 2007 Hindraf spirit will help them and not the 98% 1 Malay-sian Judiciary and their racist and greedy UMNO YTLs' RM2.00 company Sentul Raya Sdn Bhd who wants to socially "ethnically cleanse" the Sentul Railway Indian Heritage Village.
The oldest villager Mr. Subramaniam a/l Murugan (76) expressed how sad he was at the intended destruction of this Kg Railway as his grandchildren are the fourth generation who were born in this village.
Paralysed and wheel chair bound Mr Sanmugam a/l Suppan (58), a second generation Kg Railway settler said that his father was a Railway boilerman who had served the Malayan Railways for about 40 years. His grandchildren are the fourth generation born here.
He said has no faith in getting Justice in the UMNO Courts and is appealing to UMNO Prime Minister Najib Razak to preserve this Kg Railway Sentul Indian Settlement as a National Heritage in recognition of the Indian workers setting up the Malayan Railways.
Hindraf de facto leader P.Uthayakumar acted as lawyer for the Kg Railway villagers. Also present was Hindraf Information Chief, S. Jayathas.
At a press conference after Court proceedings, P. Uthayakumar said that the villagers are still puzzled as to how a YTL subsidiary ie Sentul Raya Sdn Bhd, a RM 2.00 company could become the owners of this multi-billion Ringgit development property.
And how the Kuala Lumpur Land Office is still blocking and hampering the land search on these Kg Railway Sentul Indian settlement land titles as at 31/1/2012 in a apparent "cover up". Even today's official land search proved futile.
P. Uthayakumar also pointed out that in the affidavit of the villagers that they are going to also make a police report and an MACC report to investigate possible corruption and abuse of powers in the acquisition of this prime KTMB property.
P. Uthayakumar also said that YTLs' affidavit was a mere 3 pages but was seeking swift Summary Judgement but the Kg Railway affidavit is 87 pages and also containing historical documents dating back to 1885 beginning from how the Indian Railway workers were actually brought in along with the locomotives and coaches by ship from India.
This morning's hearing was before High court Deputy Registrar Puan Nor Hatini. Also representing some of the other villagers are Encik Rashid, Shafrin Halim and Raja Sundram. Mr. B. Thangaraj appeared for the UMNO linked YTLs' subsidiary Sentul Raya Sdn Bhd.
The next case management has been fixed for 1/3/2012 in order for all parties Affidavits to be filed in.
S. Jayathas
Information Chief Hindraf
Note : The application to the High Court is for:-
1) Saman Pemula ini dibatalkan dengan kos.
2)Secara alternative Saman Pemula ini ditukar kepada Writ Saman dan Pernyataan Tuntutan dengan kos kepada Defendan-defendan.
3) Satu Perintah bahawa Kampung Railway Sentul Indian Settlement ini dikekalkan sebagai sebuah Kampung Warisan Hakmilik Defendan-defendan.
4) Defendan-defendan diperintahkan sebagai tuan punya tanah yang sah untuk hartanah yang didiami mereka.
5) Kg Railway Sentul Indian Settlement ini digazetkan sebagai sebuah Kampung Warisan.
6) Defendan-defendan diperintahkan supaya diberikan Geran Hak Milik Tanah untuk selama-lamanya (Freehold) oleh Pejabat Tanah dan Galian Kuala Lumpur dalam tempoh dua (2) minggu dari tarikh perintah Mahkamah di sini.
7) Secara alternatif Defendan-defendan diberikan satu rumah teres (bukan kos rendah) tiga bilik tidur dan dua bilik air berukuran 2,000 kaki persegi yang pembangunannya sahaja tanpa kos tanah bernilai RM200,000.00 setiap satu dalam mengenang, memelihara dan mengekalkan warisan Kg Railway Sentul Indian Settlement dan dinamakan "Taman Kampung Railway Sentul Indian Settlement".
8) Satu Perintah Injunksi memerintahkan penghentian serta-merta kesemua pembangunan Kg Railway Sentul Indian Settlement ini dan kesemua pembangunan dalam lingkungan satu (1) Kilometer dari Kg Railway Indian Settlement tersebut sehingga keputusan muktamad dalam guaman sibil ini.

Two-day police blitz on law-breaking motorists in Teignbridge
By Paul James in Crime
MULTIPLE arrests and vehicle seizures were made across Teignbridge during a two-day police blitz on law-breaking motorists.
Operation Allied Wolf ended today (June 15) with officers swooping at Olympus Park, off Balls Corner in Newton Abbot, where one suspect car was towed away for no tax, MOT or insurance (pictured).
On the first day alone some ten vehicles were seized. Arrests were connected to driving whilst disqualified, positive roadside drug swipes and drugs possession.
Police said one of the ambitions of the exercise, which kicked off yesterday, was to deter and disrupt 'organised criminality' using local roads, as well as motorists who broke the law.
Part of the initiative, led by Chief Insp Adrian Leisk, involved checking speedsters abusing the 50mph limit along the new South Devon Highway linking Newton Abbot and Torquay.
Chief Insp Leisk said: 'The overall aim was road casualty reduction, and at the same time helping to minimise crime and traffic-related incidents in the area.
'The same officers involved in this operation are those who have to knock on doors to tell people that a loved one is never, ever coming home.
'This is a job which never gets any easier and acts as a motivating factor to create the environment where drivers are more aware of the harm they could cause.'
He added: 'Operation Allied Wolf has proved itself to be a very effective tool for improving road safety and also for providing an excellent opportunity to educate road users about unacceptable driving behaviours.
'Criminals use vehicles to travel and commit crime. Those who pay little attention to wider laws will not comply with the legal requirements around using motor vehicles. This is an excellent opportunity to take them off the road, reducing their mobility and ability to cause harm to our communities.
'We are also now supported by the new legislation relating to using a mobile device while driving. Penalties have now doubled to a £200 fine and six points on a license. Newer drivers, and those who already have points on their license, may find themselves off the road very quickly indeed if caught.'

Taking Online Business Courses
In recent times, taking a course in business online has become very usual. It is easily accessible because the only thing one needs is an internet connection. Higher learning institutions are the ones that give the courses. An interested student would then register with the college or university of choice that offers the online business program. The students are given all necessary studying resources during the course of their program.
The o-level certification is usually the requirement for most institutions while others may need other certificates. Some institutions would require one to have done introductory business studies in secondary school while others do not. The students will then send their documents for the institution to verify and then register them. The preliminary process is followed by an assignment of a registration number and a business training coach to the student. The coach relates to the student on a more classroom level. Other methods used apart from the online classrooms are emails and teleconferencing. The business is in charge of the development of their students over the duration of the course and in the end, certifies their qualification and issues a certificate. The qualification only happens under the approval of the coach.
The business courses offered are a variety of them. They are accounting, business studies, business management and business administration. Business studies in general and business management are offered on a diploma level. Business administration and accounting studies are the degree variants of the courses. The two diploma courses business education and business management last for a short time mostly a few months or a year on the higher side. They are done so as to add on the professional capacity of a person working in a related field. Apart from enhancing the intellectual capacity of the student, they give them an exclusive information on business matters. Accounting and business administration, on the other hand, have major roles to play in the career of an individual. They are professional courses and offer qualification of the business profession in their own right. Individuals who take accounting have intentions of being accountants or auditors, and so the online training offers them that opportunity. Those taking the business administration degree look forward to being bankers, economists, business training coaches and qualified business professionals.
People take online business course for various reasons the most common being that the college offering the same is not accessible. People mostly do the courses with colleges that are in other countries from where they reside. Time or lack thereof is also a factor. Someone would prefer to take a short online course rather that do it from an institution. Others would simply take online courses due to preference. There are individuals who value the comfort in their homes. Doing business courses online thus has major perks.

The UK economy is contracting at its fastest rate since the financial crisis, making an interest rate cut "a foregone conclusion", according to financial data company Markit.
The Markit/CIPS purchasing managers' index that showed activity in the UK's dominant services sector saw its sharpest fall in seven years.
It follows falls in both construction and manufacturing in July.
The index fell from 52.3 in June to 47.4 in July, indicating contraction.
Markit said the economic data made a cut in interest rates by the Bank of England – expected following Thursday's meeting of the Monetary Policy Committee – a foregone conclusion.
Policymakers are widely expected to reduce rates from the current 0.5% to a new low of 0.25%.

Confucius Temple (Da Cheng Men)
There isn't a lot of information about this temple devoted to the great Chinese philosopher, though it is thought to be one of the oldest continuously-standing structures in Suzhou. Its main claim to fame is that in the Song Dynasty, the renowned minister Fan Zhongyan attached an academy to the temple. Soon the whole nation was following suit by combining Confucian Temples with places of learning. The temple now houses a collection of old stone steles dating back to the Song Dynasty. The temple is usually empty, so it's a peaceful place to wander through.
Admission: Free. Open: 8:30-16:30.
Address: 613 Renmin Lu. Tel: +86 (0512) 6519 4343.
Directions: The Confucius Temple is on Renmin Lu, about 300m north of the intersection with Xinshi Lu and about 5 minutes walk directly west of the Canglang Pavilion.
Show the taxi driver: 请带我去大成门,谢谢。 (Please take me to Confucius Temple. Thank you.)

Zach Galifianakis is a funny guy. His interview of Hillary Clinton on "Between Two Ferns" is probably the most memorable interview of the scandal plagued Democratic nominee. She had to sit there and be the butt of many of his jokes.
It begins with him dressing up as the Grim Reaper. Galifianakis pokes fun at both Hillary and Donald Trump in this interview. My favorite part is the commercial for the sponsor of the show.
I can't tell if Hillary is playing along or if she is upset that she agreed to do this interview. She doesn't come off as being personable – at all. Watch it below and let us know what you think.
"What's the best way to reach you? Email?" I'm guessing Hillary was not thrilled with this interview.
Please share this if it made you laugh.

Nebraska's Capitol Hill delegation have submitted a letter to President Donald Trump outlining Nebraska's request for a federal disaster declaration. Their request comes as a result of storms, which hit the state from June 12-17, 2017.
U.S. Senators Deb Fischer and Ben Sasse, as well as Congressmen Adrian Smith, Don Bacon and Jeff Fortenberry were all in favor of supporting Gov. Ricketts' request for a major disaster declaration for the state.
Over 18 Nebraska counties suffered major damages from six tornadoes, strong winds, and golf-ball-to-baseball-sized hail. The inclement weather resulted in more than $13,780,024 worth of damages across Nebraska. Approval of the disaster declaration would make federal assistance available to areas affected by the storm.

Staff too concerned with making more money out of you. Had agreed taxi transfer price from airport, then when checking in had to pay for parking fee for driver. Someone kept ringing room door bell at 7am and called the room phone asking if we wanted to come to the bar/have food at 10pm one of the nights. Unfortunately would not chose this hotel again.

the person who watches someone lick the game cartridge, laughs at their reaction, and then does it themselves and cries:
the person who bought all these games and now has to watch their friends lick them. is mildly concerned, but also plans on licking a cartridge later on when they're by themselves in the privacy of their room:

I know it sounds ridiculous, but Nintendo deliberately making Switch cartridges taste awful so that kids don't choke on them is super thoughtful?? Like, they could have totally just slap some warning on the manual to avoid lawsuits, but this is actually smart idea.

One positive outcome of our recent elections is the successful campaign of our first Hispanic American U.S. Senator. After a close race fueled by record outside spending, Catherine Cortez Masto, a Democrat, won the Nevada Senate contest. She defeated Representative Joe Heck to fill the seat of Senator Harry Reid, the Democratic minority leader. Inspite of being outspent by outside donors and groups representing $90 million, Masto's campaign win benefited from Donald Trump's attack on Mexicans, immigrants, women and others.
Ms. Cortez Masto, 52, a former Nevada attorney general and the granddaughter of a Mexican immigrant, focused her campaign on immigration overhaul and future Supreme Court picks before the Senate. According to an article in the Associated Press, "She capitalized on the extensive ground operation built by Hillary Clinton and energized Latinos by railing against Mr. Trump's plan to build a border wall, while trying to pin Mr. Trump's most controversial views on her opponent."
The Associated Press report goes on state that Mr. Heck relied on the financial backing of groups outside the state — including money from the conservative activists Charles G. and David H. Koch."He was doing a good job trying to thread the middle and not alienate the base until the whole Donald Trump thing," said David Damore, a professor of political science at the University of Nevada. "Then it was like he couldn't say anything right."
Tras una campaña reñida, la demócrata Catherine Cortez Masto ganó la competencia en Nevada y se convirtió en la primera senadora latina. Se impuso sobre el representante Joe Heck para llenar la silla del senador Harry Reid, el líder de los demócratas en el senado, quien se retira después de tres décadas de trabajo político.

You can improve the air quality in your home substantially with Honeywell's whole-house air cleaner filters. It's no secret that today's tightly-built homes trap dust, allergens and many more potentially hazardous contaminates. It's also none too surprising that poor indoor air quality ranks among the top five environmental risks to public health. Honeywell Air Filters are significantly more effective and efficient than standard one-inch fiberglass filters, plus they have the added ability of lasting up to one year! They're also incredibly easy to install and come in accommodating sizes that fit all Honeywell and many of Aprilaire, Space-Gard and Trion Air Bear models. This particular filter's exact depth is 4.5 inches deep. Be certain to measure the filters you are replacing to make sure it's an exact match. Establish an unrivaled breathing experience for you and your loved ones with Honeywell and their second to none series of Filters.
MERV = 'Minimum Efficiency Reporting Value' this is used to rate the overall effectiveness of an Air Filter. Below you will find a table that measures the MERV strength and tells you the Application of each unit's effectiveness. In general an Air Filter with a higher MERV Rating is more effective and has a broader application, but most residential homes will find the best use from an air filter between the 5-12 MERV rating.

LAHORE: Punjab Law Minister Rana Sanaullah has said there won't be any curfew-like situation in Lahore during Pakistan Super League final on Sunday, however, security will be on high alert.
"There will be security on the route of the players — from their hotel on The Mall to Qadhafi Stadium. But no other road in the city will be blocked. Security in Lahore has already been beefed up and on Sunday it will be on high alert," Mr Sanaullah told a press conference here on Thursday.
He said from parking area to stadium a free shuttle service would be available to the spectators. Metro bus service would be operational till 1am to facilitate those coming to watch live cricket contest, he said and added no business outside the stadium was being closed.
The minister said Punjab government had nothing to do with the match tickets' sale as the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) was hosting the final.
He said the war against terrorism would continue till elimination of the last terrorist. "The whole nation is united against terrorists and people are not afraid of any of their cowardly acts."
PTI sees it as a ploy to shift focus from Panamagate verdict
Mr Sanaullah requested the media to show a "positive image" of the country during the PSL final and ignore coverage of politicians like Sheikh Rashid.
To a question about reports of discrimination against Pakhtun people during ongoing operation against militants, the minister said it was a propaganda as the Pakhtun were not being harassed in Punjab. However, he said, the Afghans living here without identification documents would have to go back to their country.
Claiming that the letter about harassment of the Pakhtun in Punjab was fake, he said, "No Pakhtun is being arrested in Punjab and I challenge those who are creating negative propaganda (to prove the allegation)," he said.
Rana Sanaullah also criticised the PPP and the PTI for "corruption" in Sindh and Kyber Pakhtunkhwa.
About Rangers operation in Punjab, the minister said: "The operation is underway in whole Punjab, including the south." Responding to the law minister's media talk later in the day, Opposition Leader in Punjab Assembly Mian Mahmoodur Rasheed said holding of the PSL final in a curfew-like situation will be no success of the government but a ploy to shift the public focus away from the Supreme Court's upcoming verdict in Panamagate case.
He said real "Satans" were those who looted national wealth and set up offshore companies. "The PML-N itself is a 'facilitator' of Satan," he said.
He said the government was trying to hoodwink people by holding the PSL final with unknown foreign cricketers and local club players.
Answering a question, the opposition leader said the PSL's audit must be held and added that he would talk on the subject on the floor of the House.
Clarifying Imran Khan's statement, Mr Rasheed said neither international cricket would be restored through such event, nor could peace be brought under high security.

When first came to this restaurant, I've thought that this must be a Japanese Restaurant; however, ONAKA is actually Optimum Nutrition And Kitchen Arts in short. The restaurant's specialty is Conscious Cuisine, serving food using only wholesome and selective organic ingredients in their Asian culinary with a Western twist. They set to promote health consciousness through "Eat Consciously; Live Mindfully"; in hope to inspire their customers to eating in balance and moderation,
With ONAKA's dedication to use all-natural ingredients without artificial addictives, chemicals, colorings, flavorings , MSG and trans-fats and focus to serve food with Low Glycemic, Gluten Free and Vegan Options; we really need to worry less about what we are putting into our mouth.
About 50% of the menu is Vegetarian; no pork or lard is served at the restaurant. This is a great news to all, as it's always so difficult to accommodate to each and everyone when all have different eating habits. One no longer need to worry, if their friend is vegetarian or on strict diet.
Let me bring you through the Conscious Cuisine that Chef Jason Vito, and Chef Benson Tong had prepared for us!
Shooters and Dips
Asian Hummus - a blend of organic chickpeas, tahini, topped with chilli-marinated olives, served with Nacho Chips or Wholemeal Pita Crisps.
Omega Soy Smoothies - The smoothie contains Mango + Banana + Organic Vanilla Soy milk with cinnamon and chia seeds. It's rich and thick, with a nice fragrance from the Mango and Banana. This is probably a great alternative to replacement meal for the girl on diet.
Bread Basket - Actually, the bread taste great to eat on itself, without any dips. Crispy on the outer and fluffy on the inner, dip it into the olive-oil mixed in balsamic vinegar, it gives you a totally different sensation. The bread is so yummy that most of us ate at least 2 each.
Cold Appetizer
Tofu Avo - Indulge into this salad with the tasty Tofu and Avocado. There are even bits of Walnut that adds on some crunchiness! Perfect for the vegetarian and health conscious! This ought to be one of my favourite!
Hot AppetizerMushroom Tea - This is something unique, I felt like I'm drinking mushroom soup, instead of mushroom tea. The tea is very clear and gives off a nice aroma of fresh mushroom, love it to bits. It is clearly a MUST TRY for mushroom lovers!
Noodles & GrainsRoasted Mushroom Soba - This is a twist from the usual cold Soba that we eat at Japanese restaurant. Cooked with mushroom and topped with seafood, this is clearly another great dish for the vegetarian and mushroom lovers.
Hot and Sour Prawns Rice Noodles - I personally do not find this dish very spicy, it tasted very much like Assam Laksa. The rice noodles has a very QQ (springy) texture while the prawns taste awfully fresh and yummy, crispy at the side and yet not overcooked.
Organic Pineapple Fried Rice with Quinoa - Organic Brown Rice is used instead of white rice for this dish. Personally not so much to my liking, as I will prefer it to be slightly more sour and topped up with some Pork Floss or rather, Chicken Floss, since ONAKA do not serve Pork or Lard.
Meat and Seafood
Pear and Salmon - The pear goes really well with the Salmon and it has a refreshing taste, totally in love with it!
Avo Choco Emotion with Cocao 7 Chocolate - Ain't the dessert look cute??? This is pretty much like an Avocado and Chocolate combination mousse. Great for those who love dessert but have low thrashold for sugar.
The pricing at ONAKA seems to be of medium-high range, however, if compared to most organic restaurants, ONAKA's price range is actually considered reasonably priced and affordable.
Last but not least, check out the current promotion at ONAKA:

Last week, Bing unveiled Streetside imaging but you may have noticed it's not quite extensive. Hold your horses. These things take time.
Bing is partnering with Navteq to get some more imaging done. Navteq is already traversing roads all over to get the best info for maps. So, Bing is simply attaching cameras to their vehicles to capture the imaging. Pretty clever.
The vehicles will be outfitted with the Microsoft Vexcel UltraCam. Expect monthly releases of Streetside imagery as it becomes available.

This invention relates to meat processing systems. More particularly, the invention relates to a method for mixing meat products to evenly distribute one meat product into another meat product to produce a final mixed product having an adjusted pH. The invention also includes an apparatus for mixing meat products.
Adjusting the pH in a meat product may be desirable for several reasons. For example, a modifying the pH of a meat product with ammonia has been shown to inhibit microbe growth in the treated meat product and to reduce live microbe count in the treated meat product.
A pH adjustment in a meat product may be produced by treating one meat product with a pH modifying material and then mixing that treated meat product with another meat product to produce a final product having a desired adjusted pH. When mixing two meat products together having two different pH characteristics, it is desirable to ensure that the two meat products are evenly distributed in the final product to produce a uniform pH in the final product. It is also desirable to produce this generally homogeneous pH without having to work the materials excessively. Working the meat products excessively may produce undesirable characteristics in the final mixed meat product.
It is an object of the invention to provide an improved method for mixing meat products, particularly two meat products having different pH levels. It is also an object of the invention to provide an apparatus for performing this improved mixing method.
The method according to the present invention includes forming an intermediate combination and then mixing the intermediate combination to produce the final mixed product. The intermediate combination includes a first meat product having a first pH and a second meat product having a second pH. According to the invention, the first meat product in the intermediate combination comprises a plurality of pieces of the first meat product at a temperature below the freezing point of the first meat product. However, the second meat product in the intermediate combination is at a temperature at or above the freezing point of the second meat product. As the intermediate combination is mixed, the frozen pieces of the first meat product remain distinct and separate from the second meat product and thus become well distributed throughout the intermediate combination prior to thawing and commingling with the second meat product. The result of this mixing process is a more even distribution of the first meat product into the second meat product.
The pieces of the first meat product are preferably produced by forming a quantity of the first meat product into at least one elongated frozen strand of material. The frozen strand of first meat product may then be introduced into a mixer along with the second meat product. Introducing the frozen strand of material into the mixer along with operating the mixer produces bending forces in the elongated strand of material and these bending forces cause the elongated strand to break into a plurality of small pieces.
The apparatus for performing the method according to the invention includes a mixer connected to receive the first meat product and the second product. The apparatus may include a forming arrangement comprising a first freezer, a grinder/extruder, and a second freezer. The first freezer places the first meat product in a desirable condition for the grinder/extruder to form at least one and preferably several elongated strands of the first meat product. The second freezer then receives the elongated strands and freezes the strands to a desired temperature. The apparatus also may include a pH modifying arrangement for receiving an initial meat product and producing the pH adjusted meat product for the forming arrangement.
As used in this disclosure and the accompanying claims the term "meat product" will be used to describe a comminuted product that includes animal flesh such as beef, pork, poultry, or fish. The term "meat product" is not intended to imply that the product is comprised entirely of animal muscle and other animal-derived materials such as animal fat. In particular, a "meat product" according to the invention may include non meat fillers, spices, and other materials which are not themselves meat products. Also, the "freezing point" of a meat product means the temperature at which ice crystals begin to form in the particular meat product at a given pressure. At any temperature below the freezing point of the meat product, the meat product will contain substantially all ice crystals and substantially no liquid water. At any temperature above the freezing point of the meat product, the meat product will contain substantially all liquid water and no ice crystals. Because the first and second meat products used in the present mixing method may be different products, the freezing points of the two materials may be somewhat different.
In the preferred form of the invention the pieces of frozen first meat product in the intermediate combination are smaller than the pieces of the second meat product in the combination. This size relationship between the pieces of first and second meat product in the intermediate combination may be controlled with the grind size used for the meat products before they are introduced into the mixer. That is, the grind/extrusion size of the extruded first meat product is preferably smaller in diameter than the grind size of the second meat product.
The mixing method and mixing apparatus according to the invention produce a final mixed product having a pH that is different from both of the constituent meat products and preferably having a temperature different from the temperature of the constituent meat products. The mixture includes a substantially homogeneous pH and is formed without overly working the meat products.
The final mixed product produced according to the invention is preferably further processed through a final sizing device such as a grinder or bowl chopper. Final sizing may also be accomplished by heavy blending or by pumping or otherwise forcing the product through a conduit. This sizing device further mixes the final mixed product and ensures a desired size of the comminuted pieces making up the product.
These and other objects, advantages, and features of the invention will be apparent from the following description of the preferred embodiments, considered along with the accompanying drawings.

Where the first meat product is formed into one or more frozen strands, the strands are preferably on the order of 1.5 inches or more in length as they enter mixer 12. Regardless of whether frozen strands are used, it is desirable for the small pieces of first meat product initially in the intermediate combination to be above a minimum size. In particular, it is desirable for the small pieces of frozen first meat product initially in the intermediate combination to have a minimum dimension no less than approximately one-sixteenth ({fraction (1/16)}) of an inch.
The desired pH in the first meat product may be produced in any suitable fashion. For example, pH modifying equipment 14 shown in
Mixer 12 may comprise any suitable mixing device suitable for mixing meat products. For example, mixer 12 may comprise a ribbon blender such as the device shown in U.S. Pat. No. 4,733,607. Alternatively, mixer 12 may comprise a paddle type blender which includes one or more paddles mounted in a blender vessel. The paddle or paddles in this type of blender are driven through the vessel to provide a mixing action.
One preferred form of the invention includes a final sizing device 20 adapted to receive the final mixed material removed or ejected from mixer 12. This final sizing device 20 may comprise a grinder or a bowl chopper for example. Final sizing device 20 ensures the product contains comminuted pieces of the desired size and also serves as a quick final mixer.
The mixing method according to the invention may be described with reference to FIG. 2. The method primarily comprises the steps of providing a first meat product as shown at block 30, providing a second meat product as shown at block 31, and then forming an intermediate combination with the first and second meat products as shown at block 32. The intermediate combination comprises a plurality of frozen pieces of the first meat product along with a quantity of the second meat product which is at a temperature at or above its freezing point, and more preferably above its freezing point. The basic method then includes mixing the intermediate combination as shown at block 33. This mixing step is preferably performed for a period of time sufficient for all of the frozen first meat product to rise to a temperature above the first meat product freezing point. This mixing time will depend primarily upon the respective temperatures of the first and second meat products.
In the preferred form of the invention, providing the first meat product includes providing an initial meat product as indicated at block 36 in
The step of forming the intermediate combination shown at block 32 includes a series of individual steps needed to produce the plurality of frozen pieces of the first meat product. Although there are many different ways to produce the desired small frozen pieces of the first meat product, the preferred forming method includes freezing the pH adjusted first meat product as shown at block 40 in FIG. 2 and then placing the resulting frozen first meat product in a condition for processing through a grinder/extruder such as device 18 shown in FIG. 1. The pH adjusted meat product is then ground and extruded as shown at block 41 to form at least one elongated strand of the first meat product. This preferred grind/extrusion step takes the first meat product from a temperature below its freezing point and preferably approximately zero degrees Fahrenheit to a temperature near its freezing point at the outlet of the grinder/extruded. This grinder outlet temperature may be approximately 23 to 28 degrees Fahrenheit. As shown at process block 42 the method then includes freezing the elongated strand or strands of extruded material to a lower temperature preferably no greater than 20 degrees Fahrenheit (and more preferably around zero degrees Fahrenheit), and then introducing the strand or strands into the mixer (12 in
The individual pieces of frozen first meat product in the intermediate combination are preferably smaller in cross section than the comminuted material comprising the second meat product. For example, the grinder (18 in
Mixing the intermediate combination as shown at process block 33 causes the frozen pieces of first meat product to become evenly distributed throughout the intermediate combination. Then, as the frozen pieces begin to thaw, the first meat product commingles with the second meat product to form a final mixed product. This final mixed product comprises a mixture of the first and second meat products having a substantially uniform pH different from both the pH of the first meat product and the pH of the second meat product, and having a temperature higher than the temperature of the frozen first meat product introduced into the mixer, but usually lower than the temperature of the second meat product introduced into the mixer. The temperature of the final mixed meat product may be approximately 33 degrees Fahrenheit for example. This material is removed from the mixer as shown at process block 45 for final sizing as necessary and then packaging or further processing.
Final sizing may be performed in a device such as device 20 in
The above described preferred embodiments are intended to illustrate the principles of the invention, but not to limit the scope of the invention.

My husband and I have an equal partnership. We both cook, we both clean, and we both share the responsibilities of raising our child(ren). This was a deal we made when things got serious between us; and reinforced when we talked about having kids. And again when I got pregnant. I came from a household where the man ruled his castle with an iron fist and the women had to do all of the work around the house. It's unfair. Especially since my step mom also worked at a steady job where she made more money than my dad. She still had to come home and play housewife, even though she wasn't one. No doubt, if they had children, she would be the sole care giver for them, too, in addition to her job and her household chores. (Not too mention, she also has carpal tunnel in both hands and arthritis.)
"That's God's word," according to my dad. "Women are servants to their husbands." In his eyes, he's allowed to treat her like a common slave because his personal God says so. And he got her when she was young; he brainwashed her into thinking that's the way it is for every woman. Until my adult ass came back into the picture. She tries to stand up to my dad, only to be belittled and mentally abused. Nowadays, her attitude has changed. She's starting to not give a shit about him. He's fragile in his aged state, he's losing control over her, and knows it.
Excuse me? Even today, my dad will scold me for not being my husband's obedient slave. And I'll remind him, "We're not your kind of Christian. This is an equal household. Back off. You don't like it, look away."
In my mom's case, she's a working woman and took care of the house, too. But not because my step dad was a tyrant, or that she was raised to believe that way; but because my mom hates clutter. She used to be a clean freak. However, my step dad wasn't much help anyway, due to being a slob. He doesn't pick up after himself. My mom does it all.
There are times when I still have to pick up after my husband, which is obnoxious, and he gets an earful, because I'm not his fucking mom; BUT he does help me when I ask. Plus, he has assigned chores, like the trash and the laundry. For the most part, he's good at doing what I ask him. It's just he has the mentality of, "I'll get to it" whereas I'm my mother's daughter, I ask you, you do it when I ask, not when you feel like it.
I know that not all households are equal, especially in the child rearing field, and I just don't get that. Especially when the woman (or man in some cases) isn't happy with the assumed arrangement. If you're not happy, communicate. Change things. Wouldn't yall have talked about that BEFORE you spread your legs? Or have a sit down with them later and actually communicate the issues, instead of just huffing and doing it? One of my co-workers was like that. She didn't stand up to her husband, and she had to work AND do everything for the kids. To her, that's just how it was. It's women's work.
I'm just like, honey this is a new age. This ain't the 1950's. Parenting is a two person deal (especially when both parents are around). I just say, "Well, guess I'm lucky to have the man I do."
"You sure are. Where was he when I was looking?!"
"You're so lucky to have a man like Dave!"
Am I?
My cousin is near 40 and she just had a baby a month ago. She's dealing with pretty much the same thing. She gets zero sleep and lets her boyfriend sleep. She makes excuses for him, like, "Well, he works nights. He needs his sleep." Honey, what about you? You need to sleep, too. You can't be expected to raise this child into a healthy and happy person, if you're not a healthy and happy person. No, you're not bringing in income, but damn it, you're still working the same, if not harder. I'd say harder, since he's sleeping and you're not; and she's keeping a human being alive He needs to be sacrificing his time, too, not just you. Other dad's do it, so can he. Simple as that. When a child comes into your life, everything changes. For both parents.
::reads her response::
She doesn't sound very sincere. Just sounds like more excuses to me. "I don't mind." Yes, you do, otherwise you wouldn't be coming onto Facebook and bitching about not getting sleep every post. Instead of telling us, tell him.
Tough love, right? But I gotta remember, she's still hormonal. But still man. I hate it when men give those excuses as to why they can't or shouldn't sacrifice this time to help raise a child, and I hate it even more when women do it for them. It's one thing to be sleepy and grumpy and complain about it once in a while; it's another to do it every fucking day, several times a day. It's more than a sign of not getting enough sleep, it's a sign that you're not happy in your relationship. You're not happy with how things are right now.
Can't change everyone though. I don't get it, but it's not my job to change the world, only to learn what I can: acceptance, tolerance, avoidance, right? However, I can at least let her know that she's allowed to take care of herself, too.
I have a reply loaded, but I don't know if I should pull the trigger, so to speak. She is hormonal and she is exhausted. Perhaps I should save my opinion later? I'll do that. Unless she keeps on bitching about it. That irks me. If you're not going to change your situation, stop bitching about it. You can vent about your problems privately. Which I've actually talked to her about, years ago, and she did calm it down, but now's not the time or place for it. I gotta remember how I was at that state...and how I'm going to be again. It sucks. Simple as that. Going back to zombie mode....how can I with a toddler? I'll figure it out. Other people do it, so can I, right?
It gets me thinking...am I lucky to have found a man who wants an equal household? Or do I just have a stronger backbone than some women when it comes to this sort of thing? I refuse to be in a relationship like my parents. Yes, I grew up in that environment, but I wasn't raised that way. And even if I was, life changes you. I was raised Christian, too; but I never identified as such. I'm a Pagan. Been one since I was very young. (Even then, Pagan doesn't mean equal household either; just like Christian doesn't mean unequal.)
I'm reminded that even though we communicate our issues to each other, not everyone does. Not even in this day and age. Some people, women and men, just deal with it. I'm not one to deal. I am my mother's daughter. We're both vocal about what pisses us off. Except she sweeps things under the rug to avoid drama and I'm stubborn as hell. I'll butt your ass off the fucking mountain if you ignore me.
Yes, I'm a SAHM right now. But I know that I work just as hard as my husband does. No, I don't bring in income, but I'm keeping our son(s) alive and teaching him. I take care of him, the house, and myself. I cook. I clean. Nowadays, I get very little sleep (damn, when I did work, I only got 3-4 hours of sleep a day...but working third shift royally messed me up; sometimes I would go 2-3 days without sleeping and not realize it).
Hubby works 40 hours a week. He comes home and does chores, too. He comes home and helps me out with Lycan. He comes home and doesn't always get to relax. When Bigfoot is born, he's going to be getting up every couple of hours and doing his part, too; as well as driving to work and working and coming home and helping out and allowing me to sleep. We're both going to be sleep deprived and exhausted. While he's at work, I'm going to be at home, juggling a newborn and a toddler.
He is just a rare occurrence in the male gene pool? Some elusive magikal creature? Do I have my own Unicorn? Was it due to being raised by a single working mother of four? Was it due to us being open with each other? I don't know. But I know he's not the only one out there. Many of my friends have equal households. It's not just a generation thing, many of their parents have one, too.
I don't see how other women can juggle working, household chores, and raising children (especially young children) when their husband comes home and watches TV, plays PS3, reads the paper, or sleeps. An unequal household is not for me. I would literally lose my mind. I couldn't just sit back and take it. The only time I'm submissive is in the bedroom, other than that, you better be helping me otherwise you're getting the horns.
Some women are fine with living in a traditional household; hey, do your thing. But even then, you know it wears on them. They're not robots. This isn't Stepford Wives. Even then they need to have a voice and let their husband's know that they need a helping hand or a break once in a while. They need to be selfish once in a while. And it's not even selfishness, it's about caring for yourself. (And not all men in traditional families are total dicks and tyrants, I understand that, too; but it you don't communicate, some men aren't going to see it. Don't be afraid to have a voice.)
Am I lucky or am I strong? Or perhaps I'm just stubborn? I know what I want in my relationship and I'm going to have it. I am not doing all of this shit myself, while my husband gets to relax. Nah. This is a marriage, it's an equal partnership. I am not his bitch; I'm not his slave. We agreed on it when things got serious. We agreed on it when we were engaged. We reinforced those beliefs when we talked about having kids. If he gets time to unwind, so I do. We both need our space (as well as time together) in order to have a healthy and happy relationship. How can we raised our children to be happy if we're not?
* I know it's not always women; some men find themselves in these unequal partnerships, too.

Your location is set to Dartford
Two goals in the closing 15 minutes earned Dartford the points in their Vanarama National League South derby at Margate on Tuesday.
Substitute Andy Pugh pounced from close range to open the scoring with skipper Elliot Bradbrook adding the second from the spot two minutes from the end.
In between the goals Margate had threatened an equaliser with Darts keeper Deren Ibrahim twice producing superb saves to deny home sub Elliott Buchanan.
The win was Dartford's second away from home this season and stretched their unbeaten run to four while ending Gate's three-game unbeaten sequence.
Home boss Nikki Bull made just one change to the team that won 2-0 at Bishop's Stortford on Saturday with fit again skipper Luke Moore replacing Scott Donnelly, who was ruled out by a knee injury.
Darts boss Tony Burman handed a start to Ryan Hayes, who came off the bench to score Dartford's equaliser in the 1-1 draw with East Thurrock United on Saturday.
Defender Keaton Wood also came back in with Ellis Brown and Pugh dropping to the bench.
The game began at a decent pace with Dartford's Duane Ofori-Acheampong drilling the ball across the face of the home goal after getting in behind but Gate immediately countered with Daniel Akindayini flashing a shot just wide after a neat turn.
Gate then suffered an injury setback when winger Alex Osborn limped off with a quad injury to be replaced by Buchanan, who had himself been sidelined by a back spasm at the weekend.
Buchanan squandered Gate's best chance before the break when he blazed over on 28 minutes after Matt Johnson's charged down shot had broken to him.
Moments later the ball dropped invitingly on the edge of the area for Johnson but he too fired high and handsome while Michael Thalassitis cut inside before curling his shot just over.
The best Darts offered in response during the same period was a low 20-yard drive from skipper Bradbrook which was comfortably saved by home keeper Lewis Ward but just before the break they threatened twice.
First Hayes finished off a quick break with a low drive that was deflected wide and from the corner Luke Wanadio's centre drifted right across the face of the home goal with no one able to get a touch.
The second half started like the first with both teams pressing and Gate had an early chance when Darts keeper Ibrahim came out smartly to block from Thalassitis as he ran onto Buchanan's cute through ball.
Immediately at the other end Dartford's Tom Wynter headed onto the roof of the net after Ward had only half punched clear from a corner, and then Hayes crossed and Danny Harris stabbed a volley over the bar.
Hayes was becoming an increasing influence and just before the hour he teed up substitute Pugh to fire wide.
Gate's chances were becoming more fleeting but Thalassitis forced Ibrahim to save away to his left before Pugh broke the deadlock, pouncing after Ward had only parried a shot from Harris.
Ibrahim then denied Buchanan with a flying stop and then, after the Darts keeper had frustrated the same player with another top drawer save Harris went down in the box under a challenge from Yads Mambo and Bradbrook beat Ward away to his left to complete the win.
Just before the penalty Harris had wasted a great chance to double Dartford's lead rolling the ball wide from 15 yards.
