Johannesburg - It was supposed to have been the perfect crime: a gang of robbers attack five Fidelity guards early in the morning, steal social grant money meant for the elderly, the sick and children, then flee the paypoint before anyone could realise what has happened.
For a while everything went as planned. The robbers attacked the guards, took the money and tried to flee.
But things went awry, leaving one robber dead, two shot and wounded, and three others arrested after their vehicle's tyres were shot out as they tried to flee. Another robber was arrested at the paypoint.
The events unfolded at Monty Motloung Community Hall in Duduza near Nigel, Ekurhuleni, on Friday morning. A white Quantum minibus taxi with an undisclosed number of men was parked near the hall.
No one was allowed inside the yard until the guards had dropped off the money inside the building.
Police spokesman Warrant Officer Yacoob Rasool said the robbers attacked the guards, took all five of their firearms and forced them to open the cash van.
A 28-year-old witness, who did not want to be identified, said he realised something was wrong as he was walking by.
"I saw a man manhandling a security guard, pushing him, and his hand pressed against the guard's back with a gun.
"I immediately went to the nearby shops where I found two police officers. I told them what I had seen. They called for back-up," the man said.
Meanwhile, the robbers had beaten up the guards, taken some of the money and fled.
However, one of the guards, who had a small firearm on him, chased after them in the cash van.
He fired at the robbers, wounding one in the hand and another in the abdomen before they crashed into a fence.
When the police arrived at the scene near the hall, they stopped a man walking down the street carrying a black schoolbag. "As they were searching him, he reached for his firearm and the police shot him. He died on the scene," Rasool said. The schoolbag was filled with money.
When other officers arrived at the hall, they found the beaten security guards, the wounded robbers and firearms that the robbers had taken from the guards scattered around. The robbers had discarded their firearms and the ones they had taken from the guards just before they could flee.
The two injured robbers and another who was found at the hall were arrested.
While they were being arrested, the robbers received a call from their accomplices who had fled the scene in the Quantum, asking them what was taking them so long.
Rasool said the police told the arrested men to find out from their accomplices where they were. The detained men did just that and the police went there. When the robbers saw the police, they tried to flee but the police shot out the Quantum's tyres and it came to a halt. The men were arrested.
All six suspects have been charged with robbery, attempted murder, possession of stolen property and the possession of an unlicensed firearm. - The Star

UND Art & Design professor dies
Joel Jonientz, a UND Art & Design professor, died Monday at Altru Hospital.
UND announced his death in a universitywide email Tuesday. Jonientz was 46.
Bill Caraher, a UND history professor, remembered him as friend and inspiration on a blog post Tuesday.
"Joel was a remarkable guy. … He could go from moderating a panel of poets, artists and writers at the UND Writers Conference to complaining about an offseason move by the Seahawks in a moment," Caraher wrote. "More than any of that, he was a family guy. He loved his wife and kids in a way that gave perspective to the entire world and gave him a consistent set of priorities that guided his life, work, and friendships."
Herald archives show Jonientz' involvement in several conferences and art exhibits.

Ugh. This is/was my first time using the stabilized whipped cream icing.
I was expecting it to have the texture of the whipped from premade, store bought cakes.
Is this not the case or did I do somethign wrong? And if I did something wrong, WHAT?
I managed to get it on the cakes, but it's SO not staying where I put it. When I stopped the miser, it was forming stiff peaks, or at least I thought they were stiff peaks. And I was afraid of over-mixing it because the directions warned against that.
I put the bowl back into the fridge until I was ready to cover the cakes.
I covered the bottom layer in white and didn't have too much trouble after I sinply accepted the fact that it was NOT going to be a perfectly smooth icing base.
I colored some other icing a pale yellow and started trying to cover the top layer. It was very soupy and hard to get to stay on the sides of the cake.
I have the cakes stacked and resting in the frisge now. I need to get a shower and get ready for the party tonight. Then I'm planning to put the decorations on the cake right before I leave the house.
I'm afraid at the party all the icing is going to fall off the sides of the cake and it will all end up in one very soupy mess!
The whipped icing TASTES AMAZING, by the way! I figure worst cake scenario, the cake will look like a disaster, I'll admit to everyone that I was trying new recipes, and we'll all get a good laugh out of it.
I'm stressing, though, because this cake is for my sister's b-day party and her friends are people that I'm expecting cake orders from. A disaster cake is NOT good advertising!
what reciepe did you use????
I used the recipe on Wilton's website for stabilized whipped cream.
I tried the stabilized whipped cream recipe for the second time this weekend. I didn't have a problem with it being too gooey, I had a problem with incorporating the gelatin mixture. When I added it to the rest of the whipped cream, it clumped and I had wads of gelatin in my whipped cream which made it lumpy and incapable of smoothing. Both times I have had this happen!! Somebody please tell me how I am screwing this up!
I bloom the gelatin in a small amount of whipping cream, heat it to dissolve, then let it cool. Then I mix a small amount of whipped cream into the gelatin, then pour this into the rest of the whipped cream mixture. That is the recipe I have followed twice with horrible results.

First I whip the cream about half way (until a thick liquid)
I bloom the gelatin I use a little warm water then heat it up in a pot on the stove quickly after it has bloomed , then slowly pour it (it should look smooth)into the cream while I keep whipping and I don't get clumps. I think as with chocolate, maybe the cream is seizing the gelatin.
Good Luck
the first time i made mine i had gthe same problem i threw out the icing and started again. the second time i heated the gelatin a little longer and slowly drizzeld it into my creama fter letting it cool al ittle. i got my recipe from this site. the second batch came out perfect.

UK Appliance
UK Appliance Repair Questions? Ask a Technician for Answers ASAP
Hello, Can we have the complete model number please? You could find it in a sticker inside the wall. Now, does it sounds like a propeller hitting something?
it was bought second hand, there is no sticker. the guy who we bought it off said there was no sound when he had it. it sounds as though it is struggling to start up.
i need to know what settings the freezer should be on
Hello, It does not matter where you set it, the sound would still be there. Something went wrong with the unit or something could have moved during transit. We have to established where the sound is coming from and what kind of sound was it. You said it is sounding like it is struggling to start. Do you hear the sound and after 10 seconds, then the sound would dis appear? and then comes back again after about 1 minute? or the sound is continuous and you said before, it sounded like a jet engine? really loud and continuous?
the sound is coming from inside the freezer it is loud and continuous.
Thank you for that info. With out the model number, I can not tell if your unit is frost less or not so please bear with me if I would have to ask you more questions.
Is the unit still cooling even with the loud sound? Do you notice air vents inside the freezer or do you see shelves frosting up? Does the noise sounds like a fan blade hitting something? you know...wrrrrr...like kind of noise? Those are the noises that We might hear inside the freezer.
It is a frost free model. the unit is still cooling. It is a wrr noise. There is an air vent inside. It does not sound like a fan blade hitting something. we have had plenty of freezers over the years but none sounded as noisy as this.
Hello, Thank you for those info. So it is a frost free unit and I am sure the noise is coming from the fan. It may not sound like a fan blade hitting something but definitely the noise would only come from the fan motor. What you can do is remove all the food, and unplug the unit. Remove the inside back wall of the freezer. This will exposed the fan motor and you can see what could be the source of the noise. If it is the fan motor itself, then it might just need lubrication. If the blade is hitting something( could be ice ), then thaw the ice or remove what ever it is hitting it.
My husband is going to do as you suggest and I will get back to you.
Ok. Hopefully, he could find what ever is causing the noise. Thank you and will be waiting for the result.
I have had a refrigeration engineer to look at my appliance, he has taken it to
bits and we still do not know what the noice is
oh. It is not the fan? Did he lubricated it?
No, he said there was nothing wrong with the fan, it was working ok.
Well, While the fan is already accessible, he should have just lubricated it. That is the only moving part inside the freezer so that would be the most likely source of noise plus the description of the noise as wrrr.....sounds like a fan motor. Any way, I can not think of other source of noise in the freezer except the refrigerant as it boils inside the evaporator coil tube which could be a hissing sound or a boiling sound which is different from the wrrr....sound that you hear. But, if it so happen that the refrigerant would be the suspect source of noise, what your husband or your engineer could do is disconnect the compressor from the starting component of the compressor. This would stop the compressor from running as well as the refrigerant flowing to the evaporator coil. Now, if the noise would disappear, then it is coming from the refrigerant flow but if not, then it is not the refrigerant flow. Again, it could still be the fan.
Hello, before your husband would do something with the compressor, please unplug the unit first so that he won't get shock.
The engineer is a friend of a friend and am not going to ask him again. My husband will not touch it in case he makes things worse. The noise stops now for about 10 minutes then starts again. I think I am going to have to live with the noise and get used to it. It is only a temporary fridge/freezer because later on in the year I am having a new kitchen and we may not keep it anyway, that is the reason we only bought a second hand one.
Thank you for all your help. Elaine
Hello Elaine, If the noise comes and goes, then it is sounding now that it could be the refrigerant flow that makes the noise. This could be stopping when ever the unit reaches temperature and would stop the compressor from running and would stop refrigerant flow.
Anyway, as you have explained, this is just a temporary unit so you can live with it for the mean time. Thank you for using this service.
You are very much welcome. Come back again anytime if you still have any questions.
So if it is what you suggest this time is there something else we can or have we done everything already.
Hello again Mrs Elaine, if it is refrigerant flow, there is nothing you can do about it. It is inside the piping. But what you can do to minimize it is to set the thermostat to a minimum with out affecting the food preservation hence, the compressor would run to the minimum and would minimize the noise. You could have not observe it longer that is why you told that there is no difference between minimum setting and maximum setting on the controller. But now, it would stop often as before if it was set to the minimum.

Michelle Sahr was the recipient of Main Street Kent's Ron Burbick Award, though the award's namesake decided to put his own twist on the award.
Burbick, an entrepreneur and philanthropist whose Acorn Alley has sparked a downtown Kent revival, presented the "squirrel with an attitude" to Sahr, owner of Off the Wagon and past president of Main Street Kent. The presentation took place at Main Street Kent's annual dinner at the Pufferbelly Tuesday. Burbick said the black squirrel trophy is a smaller replica of the large black squirrel he has stationed to greet visitors to Acorn Alley.
He assured the other past recipients that they would receive their own squirrel trophy soon, and urged them to put it in a prominent place in their businesses.
Burbick was the first recipient of the award, which was named in his honor.
He said Sahr and her late father, Karl, were among the first tenants in Acorn Alley, and he had to do quite a bit of work to persuade them to move their business to Kent. The business went on to expand, and now fronts on East Main Street.
Later, Sahr was brought on as vice president of Main Street Kent, and went on to become president of the organization.
"She did an excellent job of turning things around," Burbick said.
Sahr thanked all the members of Main Street Kent for the roles they played in making downtown successful.
"You all played a part," she said.
Sue Whiting, who is out of town, was given the Volunteer of the Year award.
Heather Malarcik, executive director of Main Street Kent, said Tuesday also was the day Main Street Kent had its annual evaluation by Heritage Ohio.
Joyce Barrett, who did the evaluation, also attended Main Street's annual dinner, and remarked on the progress Kent had made since the group was first formed six years ago.
"It's absolutely amazing what you've done here," she said.

CCIH 26th Annual Conference in June 2012 | Find information about the theme, presentations and more
General Information About CCIH Conferences
CCIH grew out the collective interest of Christian health professionals who would see each other at the yearly meetings of the National Council for International Health, the precursor of the Global Health Council. At first they would chat with each other between sessions, eventually scheduling meetings during the conference and then agreeing to arrive before the NCIH conference to meet. The group made the decision to hold its first formal meeting as CCIH in 1987 and has been holding annual gatherings since that time.
Originally called retreats, now called conferences, the purpose of these annual gatherings has been to provide a comfortable faith-filled envrionment where Christians involved in international health can meet to discuss issues of common interest, debate issues that they might not agree upon, share information about their work, review best practices and innovative ideas, and explore partnerships while also, through fellowship and worship, sharing their common faith and desire to serve God in their life and work.

Copycense Clippings (Jan. 15, 2008 to Jan. 21, 2008)
This week's edition of Clippings is huge, with gadget news and copyright implications from the Consumer Electronics Show. This week we plumb why 24 hours is not enough time to watch an iTunes movie rental; more evidence that Canadians consider copyright a serious political issue; elevating copyright to human rights status; the Seinfelds being accused of infringement and defamation; and the chair of the House's copyright committee leaving the building.
This is Copycense.
Article of the Week
The Patry Copyright Blog. Appeals to Human Rights: The Next Battlefield? Jan. 17, 2008. If there's any single writer that can make copyright humorous, it is William Patry. When describing the push to equate copyright (a relatively minor issue in the broader scheme of world affairs) with human rights (an extraordinarily important issue), Patry comments with typical sarcasm: "I confess to being moved to tears by European human rights attorneys taking up the cause of very large U.S. broadcasting corporations: Donald Rumsfeld was so wrong."
Seriously, though, the injection of copyright into international affairs has been steady and dangerous since the trend results only in more rights for multinational corporations. Talk about "authors" and "creators" has little to do with individuals who create original works fixed in a tangible medium of expression. Those words merely are code designed to make readers think Grandma needs more rights to protect her cross-stitch designs. In reality, "Grandma" is a global commercial behemoth with business presences on all continents that is hell bent on leveraging copyright and other intellectual property schemes to foster dollar-driven hegemony.
(Well, perhaps not the dollar these days. Substitute the Euro.)
In fact, one could argue reasonably that here in the U.S., the effort to move copyright past what Patry calls its "current Incredible Hulk level" is occurring at least as much on the international and local levels as it is in Congress. We have reported several of the entertainment and content industries' lobbying efforts have resulted in a sort of "paracopyright" at the state level. (California's passage of AB 307, which ties school funding to a copyright "education" program influenced by the RIAA, is one example.)
And, of course, we have chronicled at several junctures the Special 301 process under the Office of the U.S. Trade Representative. The Federal Register notice that effectively asks multinational corporations and their trade groups to tell the Trade Representative which countries have failed to draft (or enforce) copyright law at America's "Incredible Hulk level" was published last week. It is due on Monday, February 11. The copyright choke hold is in full effect and running on all eight cylinders. Categories: Bundle of Rights; International; Politics & Government.
Quotes of the Week
"Clearly, content creators deserve to be sufficiently rewarded for their work to make their endeavour worthwhile. At the same time, consumers have the right to enjoy the full capabilities of the equipment they've purchased, free from restrictions on what they can record and the use they make of content once it has been legitimately obtained. A revised copyright law must strive to find a balance between the rights of creators and 'fair use' by consumers." — Vancouver Sun editorial board.
Vancouver Sun. Reformed Copyright Laws Shouldn't Suppress Creativity. Jan. 16, 2008. Since there is no byline on this story from a major Canadian newspaper, we presume this is an editorial. If so, the tone is remarkably (and refreshingly) strident for a mainstream news outlet. Categories: Broadcasting & Journalism; Bundle of Rights.
"Surveys reveal that both adults and children (aged 12-15) have very high levels of awareness and understanding of the basic principles of intellectual property. However, young people feel that copyright regimes are unfair and unjust and a big age gap is opening up. The implications for libraries and for the information industry of a collapse of respect for copyright is potentially very serious." — University College London.
Information World Review. My Generation. Jan. 17, 2008. This passage on copyright is but a snippet of a report whose main focus is on information seeking behaviors. We find it interesting, however, and would like to see an independent American researcher conduct a rigorous, well designed social science study of high school and college children to gain their perspective on copyright.

Johannesburg -
People found dealing in nyaope, or in possession of nyaope or other altered drugs can now be prosecuted, the Department of Justice said on Tuesday.
Spokesman Mthunzi Mhaga said this came after Justice Minister Jeff Radebe and Health Minister Aaron Motsoaledi signed off on the amendment of the Drugs and Trafficking Act on March 28.
Prior to the Act being amended, there were no laws in place to deal with new narcotic substances which were created by modifying a substance's chemical structure to varying degrees, or finding chemicals with entirely different chemical structures that produce similar effects.
Mhaga stated that in the instance of nyaope, a person could be charged for unlawfully being in possession of ARVs and heroin. The two drugs were some of the substances that were combined to make the cheap street drug.
"The court can impose a fine or jail term not exceeding 15 years for use or possession," Mhaga said.
"But for dealing, you can get a fine or 25 years imprisonment."
Mhaga explained that this amended Act was not just limited to nyaope, but was designed to include all other altered drug mixtures which may surface in future.
"We hope that crimes related to these drugs like nyaope will decrease. We are dealing not just with users of the drugs, but with dealers too," said Mhaga. - Sapa

I was supposed to sail on Carnival Victory 12/31/06, but our flight from South Dakota to Chicago was delayed for 7 hours because of a mechanical problem. I thought it would be handled because we booked our airfare through Carnival. But between United and Carnival, they could not get us on another flight to Miami in time for Embarkation. In the end, the airline got us as far as Miami (at 11pm, rather than 1pm) and we had to fly AT OUR OWN EXPENSE to Grand Cayman because Carnival told us there are no flights to the ship's first port of call (Costa Maya, Mexico) and it was not safe to fly to Cancun, and take a 5-hour taxi to Costa Maya. We had a group of 9, so the 4-day detour in Cayman cost us an additional $4000 between airfare, hotel, and meals when we should have been on the ship. We finally got on the ship Thursday (1/4/2007), and spent 3 disappointing nights onboard. Once on the ship, we received no special treatment and there was no mention of any credit for our hardships.
Has anyone had a similar experience or have any suggestions on how to get some kind of compensation for our added expenses?
Just another reason to purchase travel insurance. Also, traveling the day of a cruise is always "chancy". That must have been very disappointing for you.
If you purchased travel insurance, then you need to file a claim for your additional expenditures. Since you purchased the air through Carnival and the cruise did you purchase the travel protection?
If not then write a letter to Carnival, keep it short and to the point about the delay and the fact that you only were able to join the ship for the last 3 days and explain why, with proof from the airlines, send it to the main address at Carnival in Miami with attention to the Research Dept. You might get a credit towards your next cruise, you never know. I have seen it happen. Try to keep the letter strictly to the facts, not a complaint letter against Carnival, after all it was not their fault the airline experienced mechanical problems. Again, if you purchased travel insurance file a claim on that also.
We did not purchase insurance. We were under the impression that if there was a delay, arrangements would be made to get us to the next port. Naive, perhaps.
At the time of booking, we actually requested to leave the prior day if they thought it would be necessary. They did not. I understand that it is not Carnival's fault that the airline cancelled the flight, however, we received no cooperation from them on booking alternate flights. They simply directed us to the airline, and said that the airline was required to get us to the next port. It was a "He said, She said" situation.
Carol, thank you for your advice on where to direct my complaint.
If the air travel was purchased with the cruise through Carnival, isn't CCL supposed to get you to the next port? I always thought that was the reason you would pay more to book air with them?
The responsibility is with the airline, not CCL. However they should assist you. BTW we paid less for the airfare by booking air through CCL.
It's still wise to book travel insurance !!!!!!!!!
joergr- I wasn't disputing the travel insurance part.. I was just syaing that I thought the whole point of booking the airfare with the cruiseline was for this reason. Much like if you book an excursion though the ship, and that excursion is late back to the ship, the cruiseline will get you to the next port.
If you paid less for airfare through the cruiseline, then you would be the first person I have ever heard that from. I normally get a much better rate booking it myself.
yes, travel insurance is a wise move.
We were the lucky ones. We happen to be at the Northwest counter at 5AM and Jean (I will never forget her name) got us 4 first class tickets together on an American flight. It was still close, but we arrived on time and our luggage made it. In our situation, I don't know what Carnival would have done...because Northwest handled it.
However, (the point is ~~and I promise I have one) our friends were not so lucky. They had to spend the night in Memphis and be flown to the next port. They had also booked their air through Carnival and Northwest paid for their hotel room in Memphis AND got them to the next port. They did not pay one extra penny.
I don't know if the original OP got sucker by the airline (who would ultimately be responsible) or not.
But that is how our friend's experience was handled.
LHP.. thanks for backing me on that. We had a close one on our second cruise. Flew Delta into Miami (booked through the cruise line) Our flight was 4 hours late but the cruiseline held the ship and had busses andpeople waiting for us to wisk us to the ship. They literally threw us and our luggage onto the ship (through a door even with thedock, not through the cruise terminal. The first and only time I have ever been on a ship without going through checkin http://cruise-chat.com/groupee_commo.../icon_razz.gif

This holiday really suits those people who like a little bit of 'texture' in their journeys, with a mixture of transportation, accommodation, scenery and unforgettable experiences.
Your experience begins in the ancient city of Trondheim with its wonderful gothic Nidaros Cathedral and picturesque wharfside buildings. A journey by rail then carries you Across the Arctic Circle to the little port of Bodø, famous for its Sea Eagles, before you sail across the Vestfjord to the magical Lofoten Islands, surrounded by majestic granite cliffs and white sandy beaches. An overnight journey on-board Hurtigruten carries you past the beautiful Trollfjord and through the spectacular and narrow Raftsund strait to Tromsø, the great Arctic capital.

Price includes:
Svinøya Rorbuer***
30 original and newly built rorbu cabins of a high standard. Each cabin has from one to three double bedrooms, a well-equipped kitchenette in conjunction with the living room, and a modern bathroom with shower and toilet. All have cable-TV. All cabins are winter insulated. Considerable emphasis has been placed on maintaining the authenticity of the rorbu cabins. Time-honoured craftsmanship and timber have been preserved in order to provide a feeling of what a rorbu cabin was like in the days when the fishermen harvested the seas of Lofoten on boats with only oars and sails.
Svinøya Rorbuer also includes one of the most distinctive restaurants in the Lofoten Islands. The Børsen Spiseri is housed in a venerable quayside warehouse dating back to 1828. Most of the building's historical attributes have been preserved, providing an atmosphere with an aroma of tar and rope! Both meat and fish dishes are served here, made from Lofoten's unique and fresh, local ingredients. In the same building you find the former general store, which is a tiny museum in its own right. Old wares and equipment from bygone times still hang from the ceiling there, taking you 100 years back in time.
Want to know more about your hosts? Meet the People - Svinøya Rorbuer
We don't like to use the word cruising for Hurtigruten since it is so much more. This is a wonderful means of transportation and accommodation; no fancy dress parties, cabarets or days at sea with no land in sight - this is a slow, gentle exploration of beautiful scenery with local food, tradition and community involvement. The true 'Norwegian Coastal Voyage'.
Hurtigruten ships have been a staple along the Norwegian coast since 1893. The current fleet consists of classic ships, ships built in the late nineties, and ships built after the millennium. The ships are regular service vessels carrying freight, mail and passengers along the 2,500 nautical miles of coastline from Bergen to Kirkenes. Accommodation is very comfortable in two, three and four berth cabins (all our clients receive outside cabins with porthole or window) and meals are of a very good standard with breakfast and lunch being substantial buffet meals and dinner being a 3-course served dinner. Particular focus is placed on locally sourced ingredients from local suppliers - chefs take the opportunity, when in port en-route, to purchase quality foods guaranteed to provide a true flavour of the destinations you visit. Please note, not all our holidays include lunch and dinner therefore do check what each holiday price includes.
The public areas of the ship offer plenty of lounge seating and there is a bar (certain ships will have more than one), cafeteria and shop.
Thon Hotel Nordlys **** Bodø
Thon Hotel Nordlys is centrally located close to the marina and main harbour in Bodø. The hotel has magnificent views out over the Vestfjord to the Lofoten Wall mountains.

The hotel also has a bar plus a free Nespresso coffee machine in the Reception area. All our featured holidays are based on a superior room with a double bed or twin beds, both with private shower and WC, hairdryer, phone, mini-bar, and TV with a variety of channels plus free WiFi.

The restaurant offers a modern menu inspired by the international trends within culinary arts, and we recommend soaking up the atmosphere in the hotel's bar afterwards...
SCANDIC ISHAVSHOTEL (4 star) - Tromsø

Here you will find lots of extra information regarding this holiday which we think you may find useful. If there's anything else you can think of just let us know and we'll add it to the list.
Who is this holiday suitable for?
Pretty much everyone as this holiday combines history, culture and nature with general sightseeing. Those who love beautiful scenery will not be disappointed as each of the featured destinations, most especially the Lofoten Islands, is out of this world and a paradise for photographers.
This holiday features four different destinations and is therefore most suited to those who like to explore a little bit further afield. This may mean that it does not particularly suit those with young children though people are different and we certainly would never so no to those who believe their children would love it. We like Scandinavia to be introduced to the young from an early age!!
Is luggage handling included?
No, and this is an important point as this holiday incorporates surface transportation by public transport and you will be responsible for lifting and carrying your own luggage throughout. We strongly recommend a trolley suitcase or back-pack for ease and packing as lightly as your 23 kg allowance will allow.
I am considering your car hire option on the Lofoten Islands - is driving easy on the islands?
Absolutely. These are relaxing country roads and even if you do hit some 'summer traffic' you will generally find other drivers courteous and considerate. All roads, even the main route E10 which is the road running the full length of the islands, are with two lanes and you will find pretty much all of the roads surfaced with tarmac - no off-roading as we have in Iceland!
What sort of clothing with I need?
Norway does not have a dress code and most of the time you will find people dressed for the weather rather than dressed for the occasion. That said, when the Norwegians do have something to celebrate i.e. anniversary, birthday etc they will dress up (men in suits and ties) and you may see family gatherings in some of the a la carte restaurants where this is the case. This is their choice as special occasions are still marked in this way in Norway. You may dress how you are most comfortable though common sense is the order of the day - shorts, T-shirts and flip flops will look out of place in a gourmet restaurant in the evening.
Temperatures on the islands may be a little cooler than in the UK at the same time of the year, however, this may also not be the case! Suzel commented on one of her good friend's suntans (a friend from the Lofotens) and asked her where she'd been - "My garden" was the response. They had had three weeks of 27 degrees... Be prepared for anything.
Are special diets catered for?
Absolutely. Just make sure you let us know at the time of booking then we can inform everyone who will be welcoming you to ensure delicious alternatives are provided. This will also be the case for your lunch on the train from Trondheim to Bodø.
Transfers are not included everywhere - why is this?
We no longer include airport transfers in our holidays. The simple reason for this is that it because too complicated! Some clients preferred to take their own taxi and we were asked to refund included bus transfers, some airport bus companies did not accept vouchers from tour operators and others did, and some of the bus companies charged extra for sending us their invoice! We just felt that it was easier and more practical to let our clients do this for themselves, though we do provide all the information you require in order to do this with your Travel Documents.
You will be transferred from and to Svinøya Rorbuer on the Lofoten Islands. Svinøya very kindly organise this for us and we have not had any issues. Generally they have a taxi firm who meets their guests at the Hurtigruten Quay and he will have your names. Don't be afraid of tapping on the window if he's checking your details on his mobile phone!!
I am not a good sailor generally - will I be OK on the Hurtigruten journeys?
The journey from Bodø to the Lofoten Islands crosses the Vestfjord; this journey is at open sea and is where you are most likely to feel the swell IF there is a strong breeze. However, Hurtigruten ships are not small ferries, they are large ships built for open Arctic waters and have excellent stabilizers. The journey from Svolvær to Tromsø hugs the coastline for most of the journey and you are unlikely to have any problems here at all.
If you really would prefer to give the Vestfjord a miss by sea then let us know and we will fly you over instead!
Am I likely to see whales?
If you are a whale enthusiast then you will know that the whales who swim in the ocean around this area are generally following the herring. At this time of the year you are unlikely to see whales from the Lofoten Islands, however, there is a chance that you may see them north of the Vesterålen Islands whilst on-board Hurtigruten. A chance, but not a good one.

The Grooming of Alice
The summer before ninth grade is all about getting it right—from head to toe. Alice and her friends want to start high school feeling like they always imagined a true high schooler feels: confident, capable, and pretty. But a little too much time standing in front of a mirror in their bathing suits makes Alice, Pamela, and Elizabeth feel the exact opposite of ready for high school. They have two-and-half months to transform themselves—but when Elizabeth starts taking the weight-loss plan too seriously, Alice worries that growing up (and slimming down) isn't all it's cracked up to be.
As Alice stumbles her way through the minefield of early adolescence, there are plenty of bumps, giggles, and surprises along the way. Every girl should grow up with Alice, and with this irresistible new look, a whole new generation will want to.

text: Another high-rise has been planned for Downtown Brooklyn. If construction is completed on a new, 57-story high-rise building called the Avalon Willoughby West, it would overtake the 51-story Brooklyner, currently Brooklyn's tallest building, by 82 feet. To make room for the development, which includes 861 rental apartments, developer Fred Harris has acquired many low-rise storefronts on Willoughby Street between Bridge and Duffield streets. These empty storefronts are now the home of a temporary art show. With the amount of high-rises being built in Downtown Brooklyn, skyscraper experts are saying Brooklyn is in the midst of a battle for the tallest building, comparable to the Manhattan race 80 years ago.

I used this again 2 nights later & the next morning my face was really dry & flakey (My skin is naturally dry). But I didn't moisturize either. I stopped using it & moisturized the following day & night & the dryness is 99% gone. I got this to use daily for its antioxidant ingredients but turns out this is more of an astringent.

Feast series helmer John Gulager directed a "SyFy original" movie called Zombie Night. A TV spot hit the web for this undead thriller which stars Anthony Michael Hall, Daryl Hannah and…Shirley Jones.
The film airs on SyFy October 26th; you can watch the preview inside.
Written by Keith Allan and Delondra Williams, the synopsis is ridiculous short as it concerns two families trying to survive in a town full of zombies. So there you go. I don't see Clu Gulager in the list of credits – hopefully John found a way to work him into this…

Bankruptcy Law
Bankruptcy Law Questions? Ask a Bankruptcy Lawyer.
Hello Wallstreet. We went to our hearing yesterday. The trustee asked the question if anyone owes us money and I told her if you count Accounts Receivables for our business, then yes. The Lawyer said I need to go back and find out what my Account Recievables were through Aug 22 (the date of our filing). Anyway, I got to thinking last night and I want to ask you if Accounts Recivables counts as a an assest since we weren't paid yet at the time of filing or does it count as income? The Lawyer made it sound like it will be counted as an asset, but I'm not sure.
did you file a Chapter 7 or 11?
If you filed a chapter 7 the accounts receivable could be considered an asset, and the trustee can take the money to pay creditors. However, if the amount is small or limited, the trustee will abandon it, and allow you to be discharged, Section 544(a) of the Bankruptcy Code allows the trustee to abandon any property of the estate that is burdensome to the estate or is of inconsequential value and benefit to the estate.
If you receive the discharge, and the trustee abandons the accounts,
you can receive the accounts,
if the money is received after 180 days,
Ok, that sounds good. I was so nervous yesterday that I thought I was going to cry. When she asked me about people owing us money, I thought she was talking about right then and there but she was talking about as of the time we filed. At that moment we have people who owe us about $5,000 or so but cost of goods has be deducted before it would be an asset. The Lawyer was worried we would go over our exemptions so he was trying to get us to get an estimate of the cars from carmax to see if we could bring the vaues down.
With that small amount, I would not worry, you do have to show the trustee what happened with the money and any deductions,
Bank statements, and a letter showing what was done with the accounts,
and the expenses, it should not be a major issue.
Good luck, and if you have any further questions please do not hesitate to ask.
Oh, also. My lawyer said that we have $12,500 each for exemptions, which totals $25,000. I don't know if you remember our earlier conversations or not, but I do not like my Lawyer so I don't trust what he is telling me. Anyway, I thought the exemptions for Maryland were $22,000 for a couple? Can you tell me?
Oh my goodness. So where in the world he is getting 12,500 each then? I even tried to correct him and tell him it was only $11,000 each, but he argued with me.
What do you mean he may be adding some unused exemptions?
What do you mean when you say he could be adding some exemptions from the wages? I have never heard of that. Can you explain it to me?
So by doing that increases our exemptions to $12,500 each, totally $25,000?

My job description requires me to travel regularly to Hernando County. While there I purchase lunch, and periodically a cup of coffee at Starbucks and a tank of gasoline before the drive home.
At least twice a week during the elder offspring's club soccer season, we hop on Interstate 75 for practice at the New Tampa Community Park. Some evenings we'll grab a bottle of water at a nearby convenience store or buy a late-night McDonald's dinner for the ravenous teenager before leaving Hillsborough County for Land O'Lakes.
I am no longer a commuting worker or stressed soccer dad. I am a tourist. No loud Hawaiian shirt. No zinc oxide on the nose. No unlimited use of the debit card required.
Borrowing the language of Florida statutes, Pasco Commissioner Michael Cox on Tuesday expanded his definition of a tourist from an overnight visitor to a visitor from another county who participates in commerce during his or her stay.
Though it's a ridiculously expansive characterization — 60,000 tourists leave Pasco County every day for their jobs in other counties — it helped move a divided commission toward a reasonable step in its fledgling sports marketing effort. Heads in beds became bucks in tills as long as the wallet belongs to a non-Pasco resident.
On a pair of 4-1 votes, with Commissioner Jack Mariano (who else?) objecting, the commission agreed to resurrect its working relationship with California-based consultants Sportsplex USA and to proceed with a projected softball complex on 24 acres of county-owned land along Trinity Boulevard in west Pasco.
Mariano repeated his contention that a four- to five-field complex is too small to host the substantially sized tournaments he envisions as tourist draws. But he also confirmed his true motivation, whether intentional or not, by letting slip that he wanted to explore "what's the best idea to deal with the whole Hudson area.''
More appropriately, commissioners should be asking, What's the best idea for the whole county?
Sportsplex USA and the county are scheduled to partner on the project using a mix of public money from the tourism tax, park impact fees and even a previous bond issue to build the fields and restaurant. If a management contract is negotiated successfully, Sportsplex will operate the facility with local leagues playing on weeknights and tournaments aimed at out-of-towners scheduled for most weekends.
The commission also extended its benevolence beyond adult softball and unanimously attempted to placate the Saddlebrook Resort, Wesley Chapel business interests, lacrosse enthusiasts and even some soccer diehards who might be interested in spending their afternoons watching a minor-league soccer team hold preseason practice.
The commission agreed to seek formal proposals from the private sector for a sports events center on 24 acres of county-owned land adjacent to the Saddlebrook Resort that previously had been identified as the site of a tennis stadium. The tennis tourism idea died last year when the county and Saddlebrook were unable to come to terms on managing the stadium. The so-called events center is being pitched as an auxiliary site for the once-a-year Dick's Sporting Goods Tournament of Champions that recently year brought 53 high-school-aged lacrosse teams to Wesley Chapel for a three-day competition. Saddlebrook representatives also have said the complex could double as a training facility for the Tampa Bay Rowdies, a new professional soccer team scheduled to begin play this year.
It's a problematic proposal that, on its surface, is geared for narrow use by too few entities. The written details should prove enlightening, though we expect limited response. Realistically, what other private interest is going to make a bid to operate a set of public fields that are only accessible via the gated entrance of the Saddlebrook Resort?
On the other hand, the possibilities just might be limitless. What if the Tampa Bay Rowdies actually do play their games in Hillsborough, but travel to Wesley Chapel for training?
Then they meet the new definition of tourists.

Phone saves road trip
So it's noonish, a gray November day, somewhere along I-24 between Paducah and Chattanooga, headed south-southeast toward the Florida Keys.
My wife and I are going to spend Thanksgiving week at her mom's, and for a number of reasons, we've decided to drive.
But because we leave on a Friday, my wife – a lawyer in Champaign – wants to be able to check in with her office. She has some documents to deal with, and needs to send and receive materials from clients.
Luckily, just before we leave, Verizon sends a review model of the Samsung Continuum.
That little device saves the trip, in more ways than one.
In the middle of Kentucky, for an hour and a half, my wife is able to use the phone's 3G wifi hotspot to connect a laptop to the Internet, check email, work on documents and send and receive them.
Fast-forward several hours. Night has fallen. We have been through a major traffic jam at Chattanooga, and another at Atlanta. The delays mean we won't make our goal of getting into Florida before we stop for the night, so we take an exit that's chock full of hotels at Tifton, Ga. The parking lot at the first one we come to seems kind of full. Someone is leaving the lobby as we go in, and I can't see if they're pulling around to park or leaving.
They're leaving.
There is a big antique auto auction the next day, and every hotel in town is booked, except one, the helpful desk clerk tells us.
Now, when every hotel is booked except one, there's probably a reason.
Still, how bad can it be? And we're tired.
We get checked in (the desk clerk, asked where one might procure something to drink, slyly reaches under the counter and hands us two warm cans of Natural Light) and get to our room.
Now we know how bad it can be. Mold in the bathroom. A couple of the lights don't work at first. My wife points out on the ceiling the place where, one of these days, it's going to fall in. Probably the door locks will hold. Still, it's a room, and we're tired. And we have supplemented the Natural Light.
But we both want to check some things online, and we have to let our Facebook friends know about this god-awful hotel, don't we? The hotel has wifi – we can see it on both our laptops – but we can't connect. Once again, I fire up the Continuum's wifi hotspot, and both laptops are able to connect with no problem.
It's an expensive proposition, this hotspot capability. An extra 20 bucks a month on top of the cost of a data package. But it works.
The Continuum is not the only phone to offer the capability and it will probably be standard on many models in the next few months.
I haven't even gotten to the phone itself yet, but I have to mention two other apps that were a huge help: VZ Navigator and Google's Navigation. Both gave excellent, accurate routing information – and near-real-time traffic information, which matters when you're looking at traffic jams and wondering how far ahead it is before the jam breaks up. On the way home, we hit tie-ups in three or four different places and the Continuum's mapping applications were always able to tell us how far ahead the problem extended. I think my Tom-Tom is now surplus equipment.
More on the phone and its abilities coming up.

Your doctor may prescribe medication to treat the symptoms and complications of COPD. Bronchodilators can relieve coughing and shortness of breath, and inhaled steroids can reduce airway inflammation to help you breathe better.
Natural remedies may help people with COPD breathe better. N-acetyl cysteine (NAC), eucalyptus and echinacea are a few therapies that can provide relief.
Stop smoking now. Lifescript's information about smoking cessation can help you get started.
Surgery may be used to treat a small number of people with COPD. Although it can improve symptoms, make breathing easier, and sometimes prolong life, it does not provide a cure for the disease.
To make smart healthcare choices, it's important to become knowledgeable about
each aspect of your care. Of course, most people use a primary-care doctor to
help manage their treatment. But sometimes a person develops a medical problem
that requires a physician with a more narrow focus. These specialists -
including oncologists or cardiologists - have received expert training and can
provide targeted care.

Over the past several months the Federal Reserve has cut interest rates several times, decreasing the Fed Funds rate from 5.25% to 2.25% at its most recent meeting. This has lead to a decrease in the interest rates on many high-yield checking accounts. Savers currently have very few options in order to earn some interest on their extra cash - open high-yield accounts at places that offer a competitive yield and get a bonus or put their money in a rewards checking account.
Rewards Checking accounts typically offer an above average yield to customers who meet certain criteria:
1) Residency – Generally the customer must live within the area of the bank which opened their account or at least in its home state. However, there are some banks nationwide that offer rewards checking no matter where in the US you live.
2) Customer also need to have a direct deposit or an automatic bill pay set up
3) They need to access their bank statements online and forgo using paper ones. Familiarity and use of online banking is essential in rewards checking accounts.
4) A certain number of debit card transactions per month needs to be performed, typically 10-12
5) Most banks would limit the balance amount for which the high yield applies, after which the yield would drop to a much lower level. This limit is typically $25,000.
If you don't meet the requirements, then your rate drops to a low base rate instead. These requirements vary from account to account though so be sure to read all the requirements before opening an account.
There are several positives on opening a rewards checking account:
1) You get an above average interest rate, even higher than most online high-yield accounts
2) Rewards Checking accounts are not tiered accounts that require you to reach a certain balance before you can earn the top yield. Any balance up to the cap will earn the full high-yield as long as you meet the minimum requirements every month.
3) Your account is FDIC insured, which means that if the bank goes bust you are insured up to $100,000 in regular bank accounts and up to $250,000 for certain retirement accounts.
4) Most banks offer you fee reimbursements for using other banks ATMs. Thus if you need cash and you are on the other part of the country you won't have to worry about finding the right ATM.
5) This product is more profitable for the banks. This means that banks could re-invest profits in the business translating them into more goodies for the consumer.
There are several disadvantages on opening a rewards checking account:
1) If you conduct only 9 debit transactions as opposed to the minimum of 10 or do not fill in any of the other minimum requirements, you will lose your high interest rate for the month.
2) The interest rate on rewards checking is not set in stone for a particular period of time. The bank could change it at any time.
3) There is no incentive to save more money in your rewards checking account above the balance limit. If your balance exceeds the bank limit, you will be paid the rewards checking rate on the first $25,000 but a much lower rate on any amount over that threshold.
4) Rewards checking could be a bait and switch scheme. The above average rates might be used to lure the majority of consumers into online banking, debit card usage and paperless statements. Once the behavior of the customers is changed though, banks could decrease rates in rewards checking significantly.
5) Consumers who use the debit cards forgo earning rewards points if they were using certain rewards credit cards instead of using the debit cards.
So how can banks afford to pay interest rates of 2-3 percentages points above the rates on most high-yield accounts? It's really simple actually.
First, when they train customers to use debit cards instead of checks, they cut costs on check processing. Banks also earn money each time you use your debit card. Most consumers make a higher number of debit card transactions than the minimum requirements.
Second, by encouraging customers to bank online and receive online statements, banks save on sending paper in the mail (think postage). They also do not need as many branches as a brick and mortars bank, with drive-thru windows and extra tellers. (think administration costs)
Third, rewards checking accounts increase customer's loyalty to the bank.
And last but not least rewards checking accounts have lead to an increase in NSF fees to consumers who over drafted their accounts.

The proposal ultimatum
I'm back. My sinuses are drained. It's a good day.
Feel free to continue yesterday's holiday discussion about the T.
Today's letter is about forcing a proposal.
I've got a question for you and your readers. Quick background: I've been with my girlfriend for 4-plus years. I'm 29 and she just turned 31. We met when we were both living in another state. I got a new job in Boston a couple years ago. My girlfriend moved to Boston after a few months of me living here. She got her own apartment because she does not believe in living together before you are married. We are at a crossroads because I just found out that I got a promotion and that I am going to have to relocate to Washington D.C. in the fall. She's willing to go with me but she has some requirements. She says in order to move there with me she expects a deeper commitment (i.e. engaged).
Even though I love her and want to stay together, I am not ready to get married. Maybe someday but not right this second. She's everything I could ask for in a future wife. She's extremely kind, loving, and gorgeous. I understand her point of view and that wanting her to move to another city without a ring is selfish on my part. But I just don't like the idea that I proposed because of an ultimatum. My guy friends say that I should just propose since she's the best thing to ever happen to me. They also say that a ring will keep her happy for a few years and then maybe by then, I'll be ready for an actual wedding. I wonder if we should split up now due to the marriage issue or if I should just man up and get a diamond? Have others been in my shoes? I have no idea if I should go left or right. Any insight is much appreciated.
– Pressured in Peabody
I hate ultimatum proposals, PIP. I'm with you. Nothing says romance like, "I was forced!"
To be fair, your girlfriend just wants to be assured that she isn't committing herself to a shaky relationship at 31. As if an engagement means that you'll love living together enough to get married. As if the promise of marriage means that everything will go smoothly. If you propose because she has threatened you, it's not as though you'll be any more confident about your relationship or the concept of marriage. You'll have fulfilled a requirement. If she's comforted by that, well, I feel bad for her. That's a real false sense of security.
My advice is to tell her what you really want and ask for a compromise. Don't propose and cross your fingers that you'll want to get married later. See if there's a third option.
Of course, she might not budge on her demands. And if that's the case, you either give in or you don't based on what scares you more, losing her or marrying her.
I have no idea if I should go left or right. That's a bit weird, right? I mean, after four years, shouldn't the thought of losing her scare the heck out of you? You don't sound very scared to me. Marrying her because your friend tells you that you can't do better just isn't a good idea. You're supposed to do it because you're sure that life is better with her than without her. If you're not, well, there you go.
Readers? Could he really go either way? What's the deal with proposal threats? Has she ruined this with her demands? Should he propose without living with her? As a 31-year-old who has been with her boyfriend for four years, is she allowed to expect a grown-up commitment? Discuss.

Rasmalai recipe – Learn how to make easy rasmalai that is soft and mouth melting with step by step pictures. Rasmalai is a Bengali delicacy that is very popular among the Indian Sweet Lovers. Ras malai – Ras literally translates to "juice" and malai to "cream". Flattened balls of Chenna, the Indian cottage cheese are cooked in sugar syrup and dunked in sweetened thick condensed milk that is of cream consistency. These flattened balls or discs are juicy after soaking up the creamy thick milk. They are garnished with nuts, chilled and consumed.
They are a melt in the mouth with juicy cream in every bite. They are so delicious that anyone who tastes these get mesmerised and would long for more.
You can also check this collection of 100 diwali recipes for the festive season.
Rasmalai can be made in 2 ways. I am sharing both the methods.
1. Original way making it from scratch – involves making chenna/paneer, shaping to discs – boiling them in sugar syrup, condensing the milk to a creamy texture called rabri. Towards the end dunking them in the rabri.
2. Quick easy rasmalai – use the store bought rasgulla like the Halidram's tin, a condensed milk tin and then just squeeze out the syrup from rasgulla and dunk them in the simmered diluted condensed milk.
To make rasmala in 10 minutes using condensed milk and readymade rasgulla scroll down to method 2.

Rasmalai recipe below
- 1 ¼ liter full fat milk (5 cups) for chenna
- ¾ liter milk (3 cups) for rabri
- 2 to 3 tsp lemon juice or vinegar (mix with 5 tsp water)
- 1 cup sugar for syrup
- 2 to 3 generous pinches of cardamom/ elaichi
- ½ cup sugar for rabri
- handful of pista almonds
- pinch of saffron/kesar
- Condense the milk for rabri – Add 3 cups milk to a heavy bottom pot and boil. Add saffron and sugar when the milk comes to a boil. Stir every 2 to 3 minutes to prevent boiling. When a layer of cream forms, just move it aside. Boil until the milk thickens and reduces to half the quantity. Set this aside.
- Make chenna - boil 5 cups milk in a pot. Add diluted lemon juice to the milk and stir until the milk curdles completely. Add more lemon or vinegar if needed.
- Add ice cubes to the pot and drain in a muslin cloth. Squeeze off excess whey and make a knot. Hang it for about 45 minutes to 1 hour for the excess whey to drain off.
- Add the chenna to a plate and knead well for about 3 minutes until smooth.
- Make 12 equal balls and flatten them. Set these aside.
- Making sugar syrup - Bring 3 cups of water to a boil with 1 cup sugar. Stir and add cardamom powder.
- Add the discs to boiling syrup and cook covered for about 7 to 8 minutes on a moderately high flame.
- Assembling Rasmalai - Take off the discs to a plate and cool them. Squeeze them gently in between your palms to remove sugar syrup.
- Add these to the rabri. If you wish you can also simmer for 1 to 2 minutes in the rabri. Garnish with nuts. Chill and serve it
Method 1
How to make rasmalai with step by step photos
1. Making rabri. Add 3 cups milk to a heavy bottom pot ( ¾ liter milk). Bring it to a boil on a medium flame. Add saffron/ kesar and keep stirring every few minutes to prevent burning.
2. Add sugar, I used organic sugar. You can use white sugar as well.
3. Adjust the flame as desired to suit your convenience. Do not use high flame milk may overflow the pot. Keep stirring every 2 to 3 minutes, moving aside the malai/cream that comes on top. Switch off when the milk gets condensed to half the quantity.
4. Make chenna. While the rabri is getting done, bring 5 cups milk to a boil in another pot for making chenna/paneer. When the milk is boiling, then add lemon juice or vinegar.
5. Keep stirring until the milk curdles completely. If needed add more lemon juice or vinegar. Switch off the stove.
6. When you see the milk has curdled completely, immediately add ice cubes or ice cold water. This is very important to keep the chenna soft.
7. Drain it up in a thin clean muslin cloth.
8. Wrap up the paneer in the cloth bringing together all the edges. Put the cloth under running water, making sure the paneer is wrapped well in the cloth. Rinse it well under the running water to remove the smell of lemon or vinegar. Tie up the paneer in the cloth like shown in the picture. Squeeze off the excess water. Hang it up on a hook for 45 minutes to 1 hour for the whey to completely drain.
9. At this step you must have chenna that is just moist with no dripping water and not sticky. Knead it well for about 3 minutes. You must not knead to the extent that chenna begins to release grease or fats.
10. Divide it to 12 equal portions. Make balls and flatten them gently. You can also make rasgulla or chum chum. If you find the edges cracked up, gently smoothen them. Cover and set them aside.
11. Bring 3 cups water to a boil with 1 cup sugar.
12. When the syrup begins to boil, add cardamom powder.
13. When the syrup begins to boil rapidly, add flattened discs of chenna. Cover immediately and cook on a moderately high flame for exactly 8 minutes.
14. The discs would have doubled in size.
15. Take out one by one and cool. Gently squeeze them in between your palms to remove the absorbed sugar syrup. You can also do it with a spatula and spoon.
16. Add them to the rabri.
17. Add chopped pistachios, almonds and cashews. You can also simmer for just one to 2 minutes on a low flame for the milk to be absorbed by the discs. Do not overcook at this stage, they may break. Serve chilled.
Method 2
Easy rasmalai in 10 minutes
Using ready made rasgulla and condensed milk.
12 rasgullas
1 tin milk maid condensed milk (392 grams)
2 cups milk
⅛ Tsp. Green cardamom powder / elaichi
Few saffron strands
Chopped Pistachios and almonds for garnish
1. You can use any ready made rasgulla. Squeeze the syrup out of the balls. Do not press them too hard, they will break. Make sure that the syrup is extracted from the balls else they will not absorb the milk. Set these aside.
2. Pour milk and condensed milk in a pan and bring it to a boil.
3. Add saffron and cardamom powder. Simmer it for around 5 to 6 mins so that the milk blends well with milkmaid. Alternately, You can melt the saffron in little hot milk and add too.
4. Reduce the flame to medium. Add the rasgulla to the condensed milk.
5. Cover with a lid and simmer for a min or two. Overcooking can break them.
6. easy ras malai using rasgulla is ready in less than 10 minutes.
Garnish with nuts. You could add the chopped nuts at step 4 too.
Note: It will be sufficient even if you use ¾ th can of condensed milk (392 gms) and 1.5 cups of milk. We have a sweet tooth, so I use up the entire can and we enjoy the creamy milk too. So adjust to suit your need.
