It's weird that I'm posting again,during the same day...Anyways, so I was thinking and making my brain into scramble eggs and finally got that light to flash!
So every week, I will at least blog 3 times a day. That's just the minimum. The segments for this blog are the following:
~Monday: Leadership word of the Day
-I have been in A.S.B.(associated student body) for a year and I'll continue next year for my high school so I really want to share what i learn to you. So I'll choose a random word and talk about it and hopefully, change you in a good way.
~Wednesday: 3R*Reduce.Reuse.Recycle
-I will blog about ways to help the environment in the smallest ways to make a big difference such as: saving money, saving the Earth and cool ways to just help. I might sound like some tree hugger but you have to realize its for the best for our future's.
~Thursday: Thoughtful Thursdays
-I just spill about what I've been thinking about, opinions, etc. Pretty straightforward.
So that's pretty much it :) I will summarize it more briefly at the page box in front and check it out if your interested.
OHHH MY GOSH! I'm very thankful for the 70th follower and everyone else who follows me! Thank you so much! everyone of you makes me change and improve my blog and I love you all:)
Have a nice day and enjoy the day!

A Bit of a Change Here...

Words and Even More Words
How many of you have an iTouch? How many play the game Words With Friends? Well, I'll say yes to both! I'm searching for any of my fellow bloggers who would want to join me in a game of W.W.F. It's just like Scrabble but you play with another player and try to win, of course. It's more fun than what it seems but you should try it! Even if I dont know you...that's totally fine!
My Username for W.W.F. is: Steph9895
So turn your iTouch, iPad, iPhone, Droid, etc. on and give me a match!!!! I'm ready to duel you :> I'm not sure if that's suppose to be a bird but, okay! It has a pointy nose!
One last subject I'd like to talk about is the 4th of July. Yay! What i do is go over to Downey, near Los Angeles, and visit my family. There, we have a BBQ and play games, watch T.V. and play little soccer matches outside. We haven't played Soccer in a while...which I hate because i can't just sit down on a couch for hours! Bo-ring! That's why I plan to get everyone up and going to play some soccer. I'll even bring my running shoes and shin guards! A soccer ball might be helpful too :) If not, there is always a tennis court and we could play tennis. As a super athletic girl, I just can't sit down!!! People need to grasp the idea that doing exercise is good! In general, people wonder why they can't loose weight! Hello!
I intend to get my whole family to play. From my dad's side of the family, we play soccer like crazy...even if my cousins are lazy bums. But we still play and I have lots of fun. :)
Around 8...depending what time the sun goes bye-bye...we all go outside and watch the fireworks. I love watching them, even though the noise is startling. It's fine! I love all the different kinds of fireworks and all the colors. it's a nice view. Reminds me of Disneyland but we don't have to worry about going broke.
So, what do you do during this day? If not, do you still watch the fireworks? And if you don't do that, what would you like to do?
Thank you for reading and thanks for stopping by.
I won't post my signature because my mom deleted it so now I have to try and search for it...

E-The End:/
Hello:) Well, today is my last day and I would like to give a big thank you to those who have joined and hopefully enjoyed the challenge. For those who didn't get the chance to do the A-Z Challenge and tried this one, well, you got the idea of how it works. It takes work and some commitment to it. I'm still going to work on the google logo that I still have to draw.
Maybe later on in the future, I can host another fun challenge. but I'll have to think about that to make it 100% fun! I'm still working on that giveaway I planned to do. So if you want to sponsor something in the future please let me know and I'll "hit" you up:) Anyways, I didn't really have something planned for this letter since i already covered it a while ago. That's fine. I just wanted to appreciate this moment..*tear* don't cry!
I also hope that you met other new people out there that you met. When i go through your blogs I see some of the people who did the Name Challenge comment and follow you and that's awesome!!! I also got a few followers and I want to thank them. I need 2 more followers to finally get 70! I can't wait. i remembered the times I had only 4...and they were relatives. But I'm happy and of course, I WANT MORE!
So I hope you all just enjoyed the challenge and keep blogging!
As they say in the Internet world, TTYL(talk to you later) :)
Thank you:)

I-Ice Cream and Everything Nice
Aloha! So since it's super hot here in California...I decided to talk about something refreshing or just plain edible. ICE CREAM, ICE CREAM*La la la la something* WE ALL WANT ICE CREAM....Oh I remember it now.
I scream, you scream we all scream for ICE CREAM! I forgot the song momentarily...sorry.
So I like any ice cream...except those that have fruit chunks in it. I do love fruit! Just not in my ice cream. I did eat an ice cream cone a few minutes ago. Yes, 12:21 PM and I'm up eating ice cream this early. That's okay, it was good. French Vanilla to be exact, What's your favorite ice cream flavor? How about the brand? Dreyer's? Ben and Jerry's? How about the Starbucks kind? I love Java Chip. MMM, MMM, MMM! Great stuff.
I also like McDonald's ice cream vanilla cone. Since it is McDonald's, all of you might think that that is nasty. It's actually very good. It has a coconut flavor to it.....Or at least I think it is :/
ICEE! Sadly, there isn't a song about that. i feel bad for the Polar bear...not the Pepsi one the ICEE one. And what's up with everyone saying that Coka-Cola tastes different than Pepsi? IT'S THE SAME PEOPLE! I tasted them both, same time and hour and i can mix them up and they still taste the same! Kinda like Sprite and Mountain Dew. Shoot! I should make a clone of Orange Soda and BAM! I'm rich and get free soda wherever I go :)
I love ICEE. At the gas station(yuck!)there is a Coca-Cola ICEE!!!! AHHHH:):):)
It's so good! I'm pretty cheap because all these good drinks/food is good at the worst places ever. That's okay, as long as I like it and don't know what's really in it.
Well, hopefully the ice cream truck passes by your house so you too can enjoy the amazing creation!
Have a funtastic day:)

N-Nutella and Everything Nice :)
Hola my blog peeps! This is stephaNie and I will talk about the letter "N." So I have loved this piece of Heaven for a while. It's great with break, ice cream, anything! Just go wild. It's Nutella. Hazelnut with some other delicious stuff. My whole family loves this and if it weren't for calories and what not, I would devour the whole jar :) It's just that good! So go and buy the jar today, I guarantee that it will be as amazing as I am describing it right now! Nutella is rich, has a creamy texture and is pure MMM, MMM, GOOD! I love the picture at the top! The heart in the chocolate Nutella. Oh the inventions and creativity people have now-a-days!
I saw this when I was going through Google. First day of Summer :) It's whacky and weird but something about it yells cute. I'm guessing there's a bunny and a bear. If not that's just plain weird picture of some weird....creatures. I liked yesterday's instead. Heck, i can draw a better picture for the Google art. Draw the sun and the moon for the "OO" and some animal with a tail for "G"....OH MY GOSH! I'M GOING TO DRAW ONE AND UPLOAD IT TO MY BLOG! I should do that :) Just for fun!
My last topic is NOODLES :). Man, noodles are delicious, especially a pasta-lover like me. I eat Top Ramen every now and then...not too frequent because of the sugar, carbs, and sodium. Have you ever eaten it without the water? I have...it's great!!! It may sound weird to not cook the Top Ramen...but it's incredibly good with the water. You should try it!
"If it looks good, eat it!" That's from Andrew Z. from my favorite show on the Travel Channel, Bizarre Foods. Incredible foods and culture out there.
Well, that's all for today!*tear*
I will see you all tomorrow and I'll post the award button for those who have finished. I will be stopping by your blogs so even if the Linky doesn't work, comment and I'll visit you :)

A-Adele and Animals :)
Bonjour!(Hello in French)How are zi people of the blogosphere? Yes I did spell "zi" correct...well I typed it on purpose. I"M BACK! Back to the old grime, as they say and I have no idea who 'they' is. Well, I cloned the Linky List for those of you who finally got it to work last time. Hopefully it works just as good as the last one. So I hope all of you had a wonderful Father's day! My dad wasn't here on Father's Day because he had to work but luckily I gave him his little present and my brother is working with my dad. What a great way to start the day :)
So I'm sure you've heard of Adele? The amazing singer with beautiful songs? Rolling in the Deep?
Well, I have to say, I am in love with the song "Rolling in the Deep." Until my brother checked it up on YouTube and replayed it millions of times. Great song. Another is "Turning Tables." It's slow, as a pumped up rocketeer, I'm not a fan of slow songs because I may fall asleep or it just gets me tired. But I'm sure it's a great song. if you haven't heard of Adele or any of her songs, PLEASE listen to them! I need to but that song on iTunes...but I don't have a gift card, darn! I hope I'm not wrong but if I am then sorry, but I think she's from England. I heard her say...then again she has that English accent. Just a guess :P
On iTunes, her song was a hit in #1 position for weeks! This week, she went down I believe to 4th or 5th, which till isn't bad. Then again, a song can't always stand the #1 Hit always. Not even cars! One day they are luxurious the next day *snap* they are rejects....no wonder the average teen gets the old cars :/
My last topic is ANIMALS! Speaking of animals...I want animal crackers :)
So I thought this picture was cute. There's a frog on the kittens head, classic! I searched animals on Google Images and that picture popped out! Oh Google...we love you! I just thought this was plain CUTE :) Even though i hate cats just because they freak the boogly in me. Don't ask, I'm not sure what Boogly means.
So I want to ask this question to you out there: Which do you use?

Hello there friends! Well, I'm sorry I didn't post yesterday and I know some of you have finished or already have finished. Congrats if you have! I will be done with the award button by tomorrow :) Thank you to all who posted even though I didn't. I went to visit my family and in these times...family comes first.
So today, i will be doing a combination of P&H.
So PH- sounds like "F", which is why sometimes they mess up my name. But that's okay, as long as they almost get it. P&H reminds me of Peanut butter and Honey...instead of PB&J. MMM, that sure does sounds edible :) People use PH- like:
.....Yes, that's all I can think of. But in my awesome vocabulary I can do:
PHOR(for) not Thor
You get it. So this is going to be the LAMEST post ever...but I'm really tired from the drive! Very long day.
One thing I won't forget is Father's Day. So for you wonderful, amazing and great dads out there....HAPPY FATHER'S DAY!
I made my Dad and my Grandpa a cute memo/notepad thing. Just for quick notes. I also wrote something on the front saying how much I love them, they are special and a one-of-a-kind :)
Thanks to the Dads out there who care for there kids and making everyday wonderful!
I will start to post tomorrow and also add the linky list.
~Please! If you are finished with you name, please comment and type down the name you used.
Have a wonderful day :)

E-Ecuador and Eclipse
Hello my fellow bloggers! Good morning!! Well, over here in California, it's a pretty day to start out with. Kinda cloudy and there is no chance of meatballs! This only made sense if you know what movie I'm talking about! So Today's letter is "E". So I'm going to talk about Ecuador, located in South America right on the edge. my mom is from Ecuador...in the city of Guayaquil. I haven't been there, but I really wish to visit! My mom wants to go back and visit the rest of her family that lives there because she hasn't seen them in a LONG time. Hmm, about 15 years.
My grandparents have visited because it's a lot easier for them. My mom is kinda like my dad's helper(job-wise)so she has to be consistent of what he's doing. Not a very good plan to leave for a couple of weeks. But that's fine, I know that she will go, hopefully. Anyways, my grandparents and uncle have taken pictures(yay for cameras!)and by the looks of it, it's such a beautiful place. Ecuador also owns a small island called the Galapagos Islands and it's full of beautiful animals that live together in "harmony." What I mean by that is because there is no lion meets a gazelle scene. Fishes live with other carnivorous fishes and what not. There are even TURTLES!! Huge and awesome turtles. Hey, this goes well with yesterday's post.
have you ever heard of Ecuador or even visited? If so, I'd love to her about what you experienced. Don't even get me started on the food :)
My last topic is Eclipse! No, not the Twilight Saga, Eclipse. Can't we go back to the point where Eclipse is thought of the Sun and the Moon not the darn movie!?!
I've seen one happen! Sadly, we were in the car driving home and I was little. Little kid=No Camera! But, it was very cool. The moon was in front of the sun, causing such an amazing sight. I wish I could see one again...
I don't remember much, but it was very big, dark and light at the same time...it happened around 5p.m.
Well, i hope to see one so I can actually take a picture. for all you know, I might be lieing....BUT I'M NOT A LIER! :)
Well, just a tad...a small amount.....fine! I admit it gosh!
Haha, well, I hope you are all having a blast with this. I think I'll give out the blog button depending when you(the individual) finishes. SO say if you finish in 3 days, you will receive it the last day. f you are in my position and you need until next week, then wait until then! Sorry:/

T-Turtles and Teeth.
Day 2 of the Name Challenge! Remember: It's not too late to join! I have another 7 days to blog about my name!
Anyways, I hope everyone is enjoying the blog challenge. Don't give up! You will be receiving your blog button :)
So I think turtles are the cutest sea creatures to live! I don't like fishes because I think they are afraid of me and just kill each other...Since I was a little kid, fishes haven't been my favorite animal, unless i liked killing fishes, which I don't.
I've never had a turtle but I've seen one! I've always wanted to carry a baby turtle!!!
Or at least go to their little nests and see them hatch from their egg shells and waddle to the beach. not all of them make it to the open water, so it's pretty sad. Have you ever seen millions of turtles hatch?...Or at least one of them?
If you have, lucky!
So I asked my parents if I can have one but so far it's not going so well. Like any animal, you have to take care of it and feed it. Or else it will end up like my fishes. Speaking of fishes, what do you do after it died? Flush it down the toilet? Make it a mini tomb?
just wanted to know...
So about a week ago, I went to the dentist. Boy! A kids favorite place so they can rip your teeth out. Sounds fun!Anyways, I had 4 cavities :O
WHAT!?! My little brother didn't have any (just like any other young boy) he doesn't clean his teeth well and I brush them hard like a lady trying to get a raise at her job. So they had to drill a hole in my teeth and fill it up with some silver stuff. I wanted to cry and knock my doctor's teeth out! The pain was horrible!!! She wasn't even careful, SHE WENT RIGHT IN! I felt the drill get closer to my nerves, the reason why i got the chills.
For any dentists out there, please consider this: INCREASE THE TEMPERATURE IN YOUR ROOMS!
It's no wonder everyone feels queasy in medical rooms. It's so cold!
Anyways, I don't want to experience that EVER AGAIN! And I'm keeping this white teeth brighter than those vampires from Twilight. Haha...
Well, that's it for today! 'Till tomorrow :)

S-Stars and Sand
Hello there! Hopefully the linky list works since it was my first time working it.
So I will be using "Stephanie"...yes, 9 letters. My last name has 10 letters and my middle name has 7. A very long name!!!
So I will be blogging about stars! Well the picture above is cool...and I wish it was real but no. I have seen stars out there, at night during the summer, with my family. We would sit in our backyard and look up at the stars. We would also burn marshmallows and devour them. Yumm! We would have all the lights turned off and we just enjoyed the outside and really take in the serenity nature gives us. I feel like a hippie right now.. Haven't you ever gotten that feeling when you look up at the pitch black sky and all of a sudden you see gabillions of stars that you didn't see before?
I guess staring at them does that, because after, I see them moving around and it drives me nuts! I have "connected the dots" when i gaze at the stars. I think I made a mini Big Dipper....or would that just be a Little Dipper?
But when it gets late, and the night breeze picks up, we have to say goodbye and pick up our things. Not to worry, during the daylight, you can always look at the clouds and try to make out what it looks like. At school, I discovered a dinosaur and a turtle.
Isn't nature just relaxing? I kinda want a beach house for my 16th :)
Speaking of nature, don't you just love the beach? Especially during the summer(duh!)when it's all hot and you feel the sun burning your skin! What's your favorite part of going to the beach?
Mine is after getting out of the beach or lake and getting to eat! It's weird how staying in the water for a long time makes you hungry. Hmmm, maybe I forgot to eat before! But you know what they say, wait at least 30 minutes before going in! Unless you want to see your food floating on the water. :/
That made me sick to my stomach....ANYWAYS, moving on to something that won't make me hate the beach!
I love that feeling when you're lieing down on the sand and it's so warm it feels like a blanket. Only this one has a grainy texture. That's another thing! Don't you hate getting sand everywhere or in places where you wish it was gone? I sure do!
Just hate that feeling.
With that said, I hope your blogging is doing fine. Hopefully the linky list will work somehow! If not please comment and I'll try to fix it unless a nice person would tell me what to do!
Have a great day! Hot or cold, yes or no, make sure you're having fun :)

Throwing it Out There!
Yum! Even hot days like these make me want to take a bite of heaven. But before I get started, I just wanted to say that my summer vacation started about 2-3 weeks ago. It's been fun, relaxing and most importantly: NO HOMEWORK! Anyways, back to donuts. There are many kinds of donuts, gosh they even make fried donuts! From the simplest glazed kind to the cherry on top kinds, they are oh so delicious!
Whenever I go to my local donut shop, we always get the dozens. But don't worry, we don't eat them all in a day. Usually, we buy them in the morning and to drink it down with a nice cup of coffee, or for us kids....hot chocolate. My favorite kind of donuts is glazed. I just love to picture that white and clear sugar on top of the donut. One bite, the white sugary stuff crunches and flakes fall. After I'm done eating my glazed donut, I always pick on the crumbs that fell down and savor the last bit of taste. MMM! Donuts will never fail our appetite! I can say that today, tomorrow, forever <3
My second favorite would have to be the chocolate covered donut but in the spiral form. There is this kind of donut that is huge and blocky...so I guess its not called a donut. Anyways, there is glazed, chocolate and I think coconut. They have a little dent line in the middle of the "donut." I still like it even though its not my favorite. Kinda like chocolate. You may not like a kind but you sure do stick the thing in your mouth! Like Almond Joys! I hate them, but I could eat them. That and Butterfingers. Gosh I just hate the texture and too hard candy! It's not even a chocolate but some caramel thickness! It's a bitter sweet candy because if there isn't that delicious Kit-Kat, then I will eat it.
So tell me and comment, What is your favorite donut and/or candy? Do you have that bitter sweet moment? 'Cause I'm positive I do.
"Where best friends are made!"
Have you ever been to Build A Bear Workshop or have mentioned it? I used to love the store...and still do. But now a days, I think its too expensive and seriously? I can buy myself clothes instead of a bear! As a matter of fact I have 6. Yes, BUT I have gotten discounts so...it counts. LOL. Anyways, its a very cute store, I have to give it that. I mean you pretty much create your own stuffed animal and dress it up the way you want it to look. I have a bunny, a girl reindeer, a dog, and the rest are bears. I have a decent amount of clothing..whatever that number may be. It's very cute because I have PJ's for two of them. Hello Kitty PJ's :)
They should have 50% discounts because that store is expensive! I mentioned that right? Okay, just trying to get my idea out there.
I love the feeling when you go in the store. It's full of happiness, joy and love! Its so yellow! A good color of aura as well! Guess what? I'm yellow too..well..aura wise. I don't look anything like the Simpsons if that's what you're asking.
NO! I'm not related to Tweety either!
"I saw a puddy tat!" Aww:) Tweety is such a cutie. I hate how in animations like Looney Tunes, you can't tell if it's a boy or girl. Not until you hear the voice, but it's sad. Like I thought Wow Wow Wubbzy was a girl....my mistake :/
Anyways, please have a good and safe day! Stay strong and happy :)

Hope For Our Veterans
To help homeless and military veterans, through the provision of, work programs, employment assistance, and transportation to appointments, hospitals and therapy-sessions.
These are all valuable stepping stones for our military heroes, helping them become productive members of society once more, living independent lives.
Studies done by the VA have revealed that as many as ONE IN FIVE OF OUR HOMELESS population has served in the United States military. This is unacceptable. With over 22 million veterans living in the US today, most are soldiers who have risked their lives to protect and serve our country. Over the next five years, APPROXIMATELY ONE MILLION MORE SERVICE MEMBERS WILL BE REENTERING CIVILIAN LIFE. At Veterans In Need Foundation, we feel strongly about helping these brave veterans adjust to their new civilian lives. This transition can often be difficult, but we strive each day to do our part in helping these heroes lead the lives they deserve.
Veterans In Need Foundation has accepted a mandate to intervene, rescuing as many veterans from the trauma of reentering society. We consistently extend open hands and hearts to these deserving men and women who have sacrificed so much for our benefit to protect the freedoms we all enjoy. We invite the public to join with us in our crusade to recognize, honor, and assist veterans in need everywhere.

Its pallet time
Seems to be that time of the year again for gathering pallets. There are a number of local places that discard of pallets outside of their place of business. They are only too happy for you to come along and take them away, but you should always ask first.


text: A Better Bed is an excellent choice… "After doing a lot of web and in-person research on mattresses, I went with my wife and kids to A Better Bed tonight. Bill was very helpful (over the phone and in-person) explaining and showing all the different mattress layers and how he constructs his beds. We asked our questions, laid on some beds, asked more questions, and then placed our custom bed order (he even worked with us to build us a mattress to address the fact that we are chemically sensitive to non-natural materials). So far our experience is great! We experienced great customer service, we're getting a custom-made bed, the bed is made here in the USA, and the price was the same as the least expensive Chinese-made beds from big mattress stores. UPDATE 01/14/2012: Wow, picked up our custom-made mattress tonight… only a week after ordering! Mattress is perfect and we are looking forward to sleeping on it. Will update after a few months of sleeping on it."

If damage is caused to other units or the common elements as a result of something that is caused by you or your occupants, then your insurance must pay.
CGU, why did you refuse to inspect my condo unit for damage? Why did you refuse to respond to my requests for assistance and coordinate with my insurance company after the June 18, 2000 and May 22, 2001 floods? The subsequent damage to my unit exceeded my policy limit and I required your cooperation to rebuild my home.
Jai Goolseram, the insurance adjuster for CGU told me to go ahead and sue! I clearly remember that day and have remained very upset whenever I think about the things he said to me on the telephone.
In contrast, the condo corporation's insurance adjuster did respond, although not immediately. Standard procedure at my condo is to report a flood to the conceirge, the conceirge calls the superintendent, the super calls in remediation specialists immediately, the condo manager calls the insurance company and starts a claim. This did not happen in my situation because the person in charge of managing our condo had no formal training for this positon. Mistakes were made, but after 6 months the condo corporations's insurer, Allianz, did offer some money to help me - but it was not enough to rebuild my home. I needed assistance from CGU who insured the condo owner above me from where the water leaks originated. CGU steadfastly refused.

Director Julie Taymor (Frida, Titus) has signed to direct the musical All You Need Is Love, for Revolution Studios, according to today's Variety.
Taymor, who won two Tony Awards for her work on The Lion King musical, will helm the picture, which focuses on a British boy and an American girl who fall in love against the backdrop of the social upheaval of the 1960s. The film features 18 classic songs by the Beatles, including the film's title track.
British screenwriters Dick Clement and Ian La Frenais (The Commitments) wrote the script.
No other talent is onboard, but it's been previously reported that the actors will sing and dance to the tunes as the Beatles music drives the story. "Everyone has a memory associated with the Beatles," says La Frenais. "Whether it was your first kiss or the first time you saw that girl standing across from you at the high school dance, chances are that the DJ was playing a Beatles song."
All You Need Is Love is set to start shooting in September for a Thanksgiving 2006 release.

In 1956 Garcia, the distributor for Mitchell Reels in North America, made three demonstration films to help teach people how to fish with a fly reel, an ABU 5000 bait caster and a Mitchell 300 spinning reel. This is the fly-casting film, with instructor and casting champion Johnny Dieckman performing a variety of casts, including a wicked double haul. Remember, this was well before the invention of graphite rods.

The narration and music are classic and remind me of so many Disney and original American Sportsman shows with Kurt Gowdy. Thanks for sharing this. Love seeing that Fiberglass rod load and tremble. Great shots for such an early film.

Two London gigs on the same day? We're getting spoilt Ferrero Rocher style.
Thought a few people might be interested.

Without the handsome receipts from the sale of government equity in PSUs and sharp increases in excise revenues from oil, Jaitley's fiscal consolidation drive would have become even more arduous, says A K Bhattacharya.
Looking back at the five Budgets that Finance Minister Arun Jaitley has presented so far, it would be fair to conclude that divestment and oil prices were the major tailwinds that hugely helped his budget-making.
Without the handsome receipts from the sale of government equity in public sector undertakings and sharp increases in excise revenues from oil, Jaitley's fiscal consolidation drive would have become even more arduous and the journey from a fiscal deficit of 4.4 per cent of gross domestic product (GDP) in 2013-14 (the last year of the Manmohan Singh government) to the budgeted 3.3 per cent in 2018-19 a little slower.
The Budget Jaitley presented on February 1 was no exception.
It was a lacklustre Budget, containing many grand schemes without the backing of sufficient financial allocation.
Complicating it further was a strong dose of protectionism that resulted in higher customs duty on over 40 categories of goods, accounting for about a fourth of India's total imports.
Unsurprisingly, both the initiatives have given rise to macroeconomic worries.
But in spite of all this and in keeping with the past trend, the finance minister has continued to press ahead with selling government stakes in PSUs and reap rich dividends from the oil sector by way of excise collections.
Indeed, the fiscal correction he proposed to achieve by the end of March 2019 would have been a bigger challenge if Jaitley had not budgeted for Rs 80,000 crore from divestment and Rs 1.3 lakh crore of excise duty collection from petrol and diesel.
With the gains from a revival in tax buoyancy somewhat neutralised by slow growth in non-tax revenues, divestment proceeds and excise on oil are expected to help the finance minister just as they did in his previous four Budgets as well.
To be sure, Jaitley's track record in divestment is quite enviable.
Of the total Rs 3.5 lakh crore of divestment proceeds between 1991-92 and 2017-18, Jaitley's mobilisation at about Rs 1.9 lakh crore accounts for about 55 per cent.
And that amount came in just four years and more than what the United Progressive Alliance achieved in a decade.
During the 10-year rule of the Manmohan Singh government, the Chidambaram-Mukherjee duo could raise about Rs 1.08 lakh crore and the Vajpayee government's Yashwant-Jaswant combination could mobilise only Rs 33,655 crore through divestment in a span of six years.
Similarly, five years of the Narasimha Rao government managed only Rs 9,961 crore and the United Front government had to show a divestment of only Rs 1,289 crore in two years.
Jaitley was also ahead of the rest in meeting the Budget targets on divestment.
He achieved about 80 per cent of his target of Rs 2.42 lakh crore in four years, while the achievement of targets for others was lower at 70 per cent under the Manmohan Singh government, 53 per cent for the Vajpayee government, 51 per cent for the Rao government and a low 13 per cent for the United Front government.
Where Jaitley could have done better is with respect to the quality of disinvestment.
The bulk of his divestments (like those of the other governments) was through the sale of minority shareholding in PSUs and only Rs 51,847 crore was effected through what is described as strategic divestment.
But these are not really cases of privatisation, but a different name for the government handing over its majority control to another PSU.
The Vajpayee government towers above all on this count.
It privatised several PSUs by handing over their management to private owners and fetched an estimated Rs 63.44 billion through privatisation.
Jaitley scores with numbers on divestment, but these are used mainly to meet the government's fiscal deficit and not for providing management autonomy to the PSUs through ownership change or by distancing them from the government.
Thus, divestment for him has remained an instrument for raising resources and not undertaking genuine public-sector reforms.
Air India's privatisation will, hopefully, set a healthy trend towards genuine reforms of the public sector.
The fear is that the aviation behemoth's privatisation should not be allowed to meet the same fate as befell the IDBI Bank, whose privatisation was announced more than a year ago, but action on that is yet to be taken.
On oil, Jaitley has moved far more decisively than on PSU privatisation.
Even as crude oil prices began falling from $107 a barrel in May 2014 to $28 a barrel by January 2016, the finance minister began raising excise duty on petrol and diesel to mop up the gains for the central exchequer.
Crude oil prices rose to $55 a barrel by September 2017, but during this period of three and a half years, Jaitley raised excise duty on petrol and diesel on as many as 11 occasions and raised it from Rs 9.48 and Rs 3.56 per litre to Rs 17.33 and Rs 21.48 per litre, respectively.
These were brought down only once, by Rs 2 a litre in November 2017, after there were some protests.
Jaitley's finances benefitted hugely from this exercise.
From excise revenues of Rs 99,184 crore from the oil sector in 2014-15, they rose to Rs 1.78 lakh crore in 2015-16 and Rs 2.43 lakh crore in 2016-17.
In the current year, they are estimated at Rs 2.4 lakh crore.
Next year, they are likely to decline to Rs 1.3 lakh crore and if international crude oil prices keep rising, the pressure to cut excise duty will increase and the government's finances can come under increased stress.
Divestments and subdued oil prices were favourable tailwinds for Jaitley.
But it is unlikely they would continue to remain so. The sooner this realisation dawns on the government, the better it would be for its finances.

One of the biggest barriers to the transition to a sustainable society is public attitude. In essence, sustainability involves transforming our economy from one that consumes excessive energy and resources. This requires a focused dedication to long-term objectives over a time period spanning 50 to 100 years. Although there are many other metrics to define sustainability, global warming has been the one single indicator on which we've focused to-date. Maintaining public support to address this challenge is critical.
What is distressing is a recent article in the New York Times about the drop in support for action against man-made climate change, especially in Britain - the forefront of climate change initiatives in OECD countries.
The NYT article quotes a BBC poll that finds that "only 26 percent of Britons believed that 'climate change is happening and is now established as largely manmade,' down from 41 percent in November 2009". UK politicians, including new Prime Minister David Cameron, who have previously led the charge on climate change action are now soft-pedaling the issue. Similar trends though not as strong are appearing elsewhere in Europe.
Causes for this cooling of attitudes have been attributed to the growing visibility of climate change skeptics. Encouraged by the media, they have been making hay with last year's email scandals at East Anglia University. Other contributing factors were some minor errors in IPCC reports, e.g. exaggerated rate of melting of Himalayan glaciers. And the coldest European January in recent years didn't help either. The scientific community is beginning to fight back with letters and editorials in prestigious journals like Nature and Science.
But there is a deeper question. Unlike the January 2010 Haiti earthquake which galvanized world attention for almost half a year, climate change is a slowly progressing but far more pervasive and dangerous natural phenomenon. It has to be addressed through mitigation or adaptation strategies and the move to a sustainable society. But making the transition to a sustainable society requires consistent focus. This transition will require some short term sacrifices and tradeoffs. More impoertantly, it will also require a steadfast commitment spanning several elections at all levels of governments.
What's the take home message? We have a simple challenge: how might we present sustainability as a long term critical societal goal, in a sufficiently attractive and compelling vision, to maintain the commitment over the next several decades.
Any suggestions?

Dictator Bainimarama says Australia once threatened to invade FijiMay 1st, 2009 - 12:56 pm ICT by ANI
Suva (Fiji), May 1 (ANI): Fiji's military ruler Commodore Frank Bainimarama has revealed that Australia's defence force chief Angus Houston threatened to invade the country in 2006, shortly after the coup which brought him to power.
"He woke me up early in the morning to tell me don't ever do anything that will pit my troops against yours,' Bainimarama told Sky News.
"It was a threat, he made a threat,' he added.
Bainimarama said he was affected at the time by a heavy night of drinking kava, but he thought Houston must have been drunk to make such a comment.
Under fire for his decision to abandon elections due this year, Bainimarama has offered to talk it through with Australian Prime Minister Kevin Rudd.
There would be no election in Fiji until September 2014, he said, defying calls from Australian and other Pacific Island Forum nations for Fiji to return to democracy.
Bainimarama said, he would be willing to meet with the leaders of Australia and New Zealand immediately, provided they accepted his point of view.
Bainimarama indicated curbs on the Fijian media would continue for some time, adding the extended emergency measures would include censorship. (ANI)

While researching for information on the first women doctors, I came across information on some remarkable women who were nurses. Since my mom was a nurse and something I don't have the stomach or the compassion to do, I am always interested in women who do work in this profession.
Mary Ann Bickerdyke – She was a nurse for the Yankee's in the Civil War. She was from Ohio and known as "Mother Bickerdyke" the "Cyclone in Calico". She was never trained as a nurse. Her personal experience and common sense helped her set up hospitals on the battlefields, on ships, in barns, homes and abandoned buildings. I'm thinking her Cyclone in Calico came while she set up some three hundred field hospitals for General Ulysses S. Grant's western armies. Her duties included nursing, cooking, organizing supplies, and transporting the wounded. She also gathered herbs for poultices and medicines she made.
Susie King Taylor - An African American woman who accompanied her husband to battle and became a nurse during the Civil War. During this war African American women were accepted as nurses and weren't treated with prejudice.
Louisa May Alcott - This novelist was more than a writer. She was a Union nurse. Louisa worked to make the wounded comfortable and keep up their morale.
Kate Cumming – A Southern nurse who came from well to-do family. Most women in the south who came from families of influence were discouraged from working as a nurse. It was felt to be a degrading occupation. Yet there were many Southern women who became nurses.
Octavia Bridgewater – Before the flu epidemic following the end of World War I, African American women were banned from the Army Nurse Corps and the Red Cross. After the epidemic there was a need for more nurses. Octavia who was from Helena, Montana was a pioneer black nurse. When she was refused admissions into a nursing program in her home state, she applied to Lincoln School of Nursing in New York. It was one of the few schools accepting African Americans. She graduated in 1930 and went back to Helena and worked in the hospital there. In the 1940's she became one of a few black women accepted into the U.S. Army Nurse Corps.

Upon receiving her award, Isabel got all emotional, although it wasn't because it was a surprise—she's known about the prize since September (see posting Willie is NAKED). The ceremony took place in a beautiful old building that originally was a convent. A small orchestra played songs from l810, the year Chile declared independence from Spain, while President Piñera and the Minister of Education handed diplomas and rather large checks to the five awardees. Isabel gave her check to her parents but has yet to let go of the diploma. She carries it around like an umbrella and keeps showing it to everybody. Because I love her I don't have the heart to tell her it is weird to keep showing this thing around now that she's back, given that so many of us cannot read Spanish. After the ceremony everyone was treated to hot dogs and chips. Wait, that was Jerry Brown's party… never mind.

Experts at Deloitte have warned that music labels are foregoing investment in scouting out fresh talent in favour of the "guaranteed success" of popular elderly acts and X-Factor winners.
Paul Lee, director of Deloitte's technology, media and telecoms team, warned that the industry is at risk of "running out talent" as veteran rockers approach retirement and the pipeline of new talent appears to be drying up.
Read the latest new music news
Deloitte's examination of the live music industry discovered that 40pc of the frontmen of the top 20 highest-grossing live acts in the US will be aged 60 or over next year. Almost one in five acts will be over 50.
Bon Jovi, whose lead singer Jon Bon Jovi is 48, was the highest grossing live act of the year collecting $147m (£94m) in ticket sales.
"The need to foster new talent has rarely been more pressing," Mr Lee said. "We will have a good 2011 and 2012, but what happens down the line when all the old artists stop performing? The current average age of artists is unprecedented."
Deloitte predicts that labels will cut their $5bn (£3.3bn) combined artist and repertoire (A&R) budget by $550m over the next few years.
"A&R spending is shrinking both in absolute dollars and as a percentage of sales," Mr Lee said. "In some countries, A&R investment as a percentage of revenues is down about 25pc since 2006.
Mr Lee warned that if the problem is not addressed then television talent shows, such as The X-Factor, will dominate the music scene in the future.
"Television's role in identifying new talent may start taking an increased focus on acts that are great recording acts but are even better at touring."
It comes as some music executives are taking an increasingly eclectic approach to nurturing new talent. Paul-René Albertini, a former boss of Warner Bros International, is backing My Major company, a new venture that allows fans to directly invest in bands.
Investors can decide to put in as little as £10, with payments capped at £1,000. In the UK, the group's first successful fundraising was rock act Ivyrise, who secured £100,000 of investment to start a full recording contract in just four days.

Airbnb Inc. is planning to launch a new rental service for mega-homes, mansions and penthouses that will be inspected to ensure they pass muster.
The company will start testing the new offering in some markets at the end of year, according to people familiar with the matter. If the tests are successful, the San Francisco-based company will roll out the service broadly, the people said. Airbnb declined to comment.
Looking to appeal to well-heeled travelers, Airbnb has been segmenting its offerings much the way hotel chains do. The company has already started testing a tier called Airbnb Select, which requires hosts to maintain consistent standards for their lodgings. Just like you can walk into any hotel and expect a consistent set of towels, blankets, and quality, Airbnb Select is designed to do the same. Those homes must also be inspected.

Asset-backed securities will be key to unlocking the multi-billion dollars of funding needed to finance the Belt and Road Initiative because of the huge opportunities the projects offer to securitize long term revenues, according to leading financial market experts.
"ABS can absolutely be used towards Belt and Road projects," Henrik Raber, global head of capital markets and co-head of the capital structuring and distribution group at Standard Chartered, told GlobalMarkets. "Toll roads, airports or landing rights can be securitized. You can also securitize airplane ticket sales. There have been deals where there is securitization of shipping containers.
"When you go into securitization, there is huge opportunity, including new technologies in renewable energy as an example [where] solar projects can be securitized."
However, China, which is the sponsor of the Belt and Road vision, has an under-developed financial market and has not yet launched any ABS deal to fund infrastructure projects.
But Raber said conversations were taking place and that it would only be a matter of time before the market kicked off. One Asian country with enormous infrastructure requirements is Indonesia, with the country's government estimating that around $500bn in infrastructure investment will be needed in the next five years.
Indonesia in the lead
Around 18%-20% of the Indonesian state budget has been dedicated towards infrastructure, Robert Pakpahan, director general in the budget financing and risk management team at the country's ministry of finance, told GlobalMarkets. The country also uses private sector funding as well as local and international bond issuance to fund infrastructure development.
But some of the country's state-owned companies have taken it a step further. Toll road operator Jasa Marga became the first to sell an ABS deal on the Indonesian exchange in August, to go towards building more toll roads. It was followed by Perusahaan Listrik Negara, which raised Rph4tr last month for infrastructure financing.
Ari Soerono, president director and chief executive of Indonesia Infrastructure Finance, said ABS was a good investment product for investors that did not have a high risk appetite, like pension funds and insurance funds. "A lot of Indonesian state-owned enterprises (SOEs) are looking at it," he told GlobalMarkets.
"The SOEs understand they need to recycle capital as their leverage is coming to an unsustainable level. So selling ABS is not something that is being forced on them. They realise they need to do this."
Raber added that ABS deals fitted well when the bank market was not deep enough to provide the financing for projects. In China, the bank market is very liquid, but securitization still offers a huge opportunity.

Venus Flytrap
The Venus Flytrap is a favorite for all ages. The carnivorous plant catches it's own prey – predominately insects and spiders by literally trapping them in the "mouth" of the plant. Prey is caught when they prey trigger the sensitive mirco hairs on the inner surfaces of the plant. After the initial trigger of the inner hair, the "mouth" of the Venus Flytrap will close if a second occurance triggers another hair within 20 seconds in order to save on wasted energy – leading the Flytrap to close up!
Openings between the "teeth" area of the plants allow for smaller prey to flee the trap. It's assumed the nutrients would not be worth the energy of digestion. If prey is unable to get away from the Venus Flytrap – the additional movement will lead the lobes of the "mouth" to further close and force the edges together. By forming this "stomach" the Venus Flytrap is then capable of beginning digestion, which takes about 10 days. Afterward the trap opens again is ready for another treat!
The mouth of a Venus Fly Trap can only open and close 3 times before that individual part dies off. Feeding the Flytrap every now and then with flies is ok but not meant for everyday amusement. If you enjoy the Venus Flytrap other plants we recommend are Sundew and the Pitcher Plant. Typically during the winter months Alsip Home & Nursery carries these other varieties.
- Bright indirect light, away from direct sun.
- Keeping the soil moist at all times using rainwater is the most important part to care for this plant.
- Keeping the air around the plant humid is second to rainwater. Typically placing the Fly Trap on a saucer with pebbles and water helps take care of the watering and humid air.
- The cap on this plant also helps keep the air humid around the plant.
- The Venus Fly Trap does not need to eat flies anymore for survival.
- When one of the heads turns black trim the entire part to the base of the plant.
- When replanting, use sphagnum peat moss or an acidic water holding soil.

The homeless folk around here go down by the banks of the Tama River to die. That's what I thought. You don't see them often, but they do come out at odd times, usually underneath a Sunday afternoon's blue-sky veil. On the gray-gravel path a bicycle lazily leans against its own kickstand in a teetering balance that must last all through the night; a path made of tiny grooves in dark land leads away from the small scattered rocks and forms its own makeshift route that heads down to the dirt and cut grass arranged with what might look like some love; a few tattered green tents do their best to spite wind. I noticed all this gradually, in stages, on early-morning runs before work, when I'm still sleepy and dense. (This is my excuse.) Over a couple of weeks I started to put it all together, my own puzzle in pieces: the bike; the trail; the tent. I had thought they were all random, disconnected fragments of life that somehow collect and decay without any form or possessor.
One random morning I suddenly realized that these rusted old relics, those stone trails and ripped tents, were somebody's treasured, true things. Not talismans, but utilitarian gadgets that enabled some sway. I almost felt satisfied, the way one does after figuring out how to hook up the net after an hour full of false plugs. This was their home -- those two or three rough-looking dudes I'd seen the Sunday before last, talking in short static bursts, a warm weather laugh they'd seemed happy to share with no one each other. That was the first time I'd seen them. In the charcoal-sky before dawn, they must stay snug in their tents. I actually felt warm with my insight, like a child laying down on the living-room carpet while the sun through the window heats up his small grin.
My smug thought turned to: snug? Can a homeless person ever feel snug? I remember camping trips with my father, my dark blue sleeping-bag zipped up tight, the rain on the canvas a pitter-patter of beats that lacked a strong central rhythm. That rain was trying to arrange itself, I knew, into something consistent, almost an arc, but it was erratic, and I knew that because it lacked conscious motion it could not even recognize that this route would lead only to sad drips and slow streams of slight water. The rain always sounded that way, full of persistent dumb sorrow. It wouldn't get in. It couldn't get in. Our tent had no holes, no leaks or slight rips. I was, to be sure, snug. I doubt the homeless folk were. Snug, I mean. I had a home to return to, distant but soon. These dudes were down there for tomorrow, and tomorrow, and the day after tomorrow. I could beat the rain because I was already awaiting my exit. Homeless folk have nothing but entrances, and the rain, dumb as it is, can sneak through those every time.
Sometimes I thought: I should talk to them. Give them a bit of levity before they decay and get old. Allow them to josh with a foreigner, a raw bit of good mirth. They might get a kick out of me. A tale to tell. What the hell. Who can stay alive by themselves down by that stream for so long? Death could come for them at any moment, now that winter was close, their small camp no respite. My awkward dive into small talk might just give them a slight sense of chaos -- the 'gaijin' who came down for a chat and stayed for a drink. We all need that one bit of mad joy.
My dumb idea. One black morning I once again ran right by the bicycle, counted the stones on their path, caught a glimpse of the tent. I realized: At any point they could simply sneak away on the bike, take a jaunt for the day, find their way back down by the trail, and then crash for the night in their tent. Listen to the Tama River rustle and merge. Perhaps this is what they did, daily. The same way that I awake to my work and skededalled home when it's done. I had always assumed that they came down here to die. Now I wondered if they, like myself, were simply approaching a life.

As we all are aware by now, Motorola is one brand which has sort of mastered the key to making the best mid-range mobiles. While the Moto G series is one of their best selling mobile ranges, the X and C series are also fairly popular. The brand has very recently introduced a new addition to their existing lineup of smartphones and it is the Moto X4. In the run-up to the new year, more and more brands are pumping out newer mobile phones and Motorola is not a brand to lag behind. There has been a lot of hype behind the Moto X4 and we are here to tell you whether or not is the device worth your hard-earned bucks, so let's get started.
Moto X4 Review and Comparison
The Lenovo owned brand has always been pushing innovation when it comes to mobile devices. They have experimented with different phone designs, camera setups, and much more. The Moto X4 at first glance doesn't look very different; in fact is a very run-of-the-mill Motorola smartphone, which we are very used to seeing, however, it is still very different to other Motorola smartphones. It has a5.2 inch LCD screen with a resolution of 1920×1080 ppi. It has a Snapdragon 630 processor along with 3GB of RAM and 32GB internal storage. There is a 12MP+8mp dual camera setup on the bank and the selfie camera is a 16MP shooter. There is a 3000mAh battery and the operating system is Android 7.1 Nougat out of the box. The device is priced at Rs 20,999 for the 3GB_32GB variant and 22,999 for the 4GB+64GB variant.
Coming to the design of the device, the company has made sure to pay attention to the design very intricately. The front of the phone is dominated by a 5.2-inch display, framed by thick bezels at the top and bottom. A capacitive, oval-shaped fingerprint scanner is underneath the display, the power and volume buttons are all on the right side and the headphone jack is on the bottom, next to the USB Type-C port. The device has a single speaker and you will have to sacrifice a MicroSD card if you have two SIMs owing to the hybrid SIM tray.
The last X series phone was the Moto X style which was released back in 2015, and 2 years later, the gadget market has completely changed and so has the competition. Talking about competing devices, this one is at par with the very popular Samsung A5. Priced around the 20,000 mark, Motorola does not have much to compete within this price segment, which means that the brand can reap the benefits, as there are not many similarly priced phones available in the market which have the same features. The design is absolutely great, the outer aluminum frame gives it a very nice look and the device looks almost premium. It does attract fingerprints, but there are very few devices which do not. The borders on the side are relatively slim and there is a camera bump on the back which may irritate some.
The display is bright and the colors are vivid and true. There also a capacitive fingerprint sensor which works really well. In the box, Lenovo ships the Moto X4 with a charger, data cable, SIM eject tool, instructions, and a headset.
Coming to the processor, the device uses the Qualcomm Snapdragon 630 mobile platform, which is very similar to the 626 and 625 SoCs usually found in this segment. The 4G works really well on both the SIMs. You also get FM radio, NFC, USB-OTG, Bluetooth 5, and dual-band Wi-Fi 802.11ac. Sensors include a gyroscope and compass along with the usual proximity sensor, accelerometer, and magnetometer. The near stock Android experience is going to please many and an Oreo update is on the cards. A new addition here is Moto Key, which lets you use the phone's fingerprint sensor for authentication when you log in to a Windows PC or on websites that require a password. The Moto X4 has a feature called Wireless Sound System in the Settings app, which lets you connect up to four Bluetooth devices at the same time.The brand has very recently introduced a new addition to their existing lineup of smartphones and it is the Moto X4.
The phone performs really well without any lags or stutters. The hiccups-free performance will leave you pleased. The dual camera setup is an additional USP of this phone. Interestingly, it has a 12-megapixel primary camera with a f/2.0 aperture and PDAF, and an 8-megapixel secondary camera with a 120-degree field-of-view for wide-angle shots. You can switch between sensors, but the pictures look a little too overexposed in direct sunlight. Video resolution goes up to 4K, but the continuous autofocus is slow as well a pain to use.
Coming to the performance, well, the battery life is decent, giving you enough juice for 1 day with heavy usage. Gaming is not much of a hassle and GPS works perfectly. There is a fast charger which can charge your device to full capacity within an hour. Overall, the device looks and feels great, the camera may not be the best, but it isn't bad either. For the price it is being offered at, we think it is an excellent device. The performance is pretty good and it is water resistant as well. The best part is that it is very ergonomically designed and feels extremely compact. If you are looking for a camera-centric device, then this might not be the one for you, but for everything else, this is an excellent phone.

J-L's hot and spicy Mexican Bean Mix for nachos
For the chilli beans:
- one onion - finely chopped
- fresh coriander root, minced or finely chopped
- ½ teaspoon chilli flakes
- 1 fresh birdseye chilli, finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon 'Italian herbs' (or a mix of parsley, sage and tarragon)
- 1 teaspoon of ground coriander powder
- ¼ teaspoon pepper
- ¼ teaspoon of salt
- 2 teaspoons of vinegar
- 1-2 tablespoons good quality oil (Preferably olive oil)
- Two tins (400gms) chopped tomatoes
- 1 tin (40 gms) red kidney beans or pinto beans (or around 1 and ½ cups of soaked, pre-cooked kidney beans) – drain and rinse tinned beans before use
- 1 tin of re-fried bean mix ('Amy's' make a lovely organic one which I use)
- Tobasco sauce to tastes
- 1 to 2 cups of grated cheddar cheese
- 1 to 2 ripe avocadoes
- 2 medium fresh tomatoes
- ½ red onion – finely chopped
- 1 to 2 cloves garlic
- White wine vinegar
- Juice of ½ a lemon
- Pinch of salt and pick of pepper
- Handful of fresh coriander leaves – finely chopped
Bean Mix:
Heat the oil in a large saucepan or deep dish frypan, then add chilli flakes, dry herbs, coriander powder and pepper. Fry these dry ingredients for a couple of minutes to get the aromatics going, then add onions, fresh coriander root and fresh chilli and vinegar. Add the salt at this time as well to keep the onions 'clear'.
Keep frying the mix on medium heat until onions are soft but still clear, not browned, then add refried beans and rinsed beans.
If you like the 'whole bean' look, keep the beans whole and mix refried beans into mix first. If you like a smoother, less lumpy mix, crush the whole beans a bit on your hand as you add them.
Mix the beans in and let them heat and fry just a little, then add the tomatoes and mix thoroughly. Taste and decide wether you want more chilli and if so, use tobasco sauce to augment. Adjust the heat up or down to maintain the mix at a simmer until it is the thickness you prefer.
This mix will serve at least 4 people.
Tomato and onion Salsa:
Mix onions, and coriander in a serving bowl and add a tablespoon of white wine vinegar. Let the onion mix pickle for a few minutes while you make the guacamole and chop the tomatoes. Add the tomatoes and mix them in just before serving.
Mix avocado and crushed garlic and salt and pepper with a fork to form a rough paste, then mix in lemon juice. You can keep mixing and crushing with the fork until you have a nice, smooth paste if you prefer. Note that this method only works if your avocado is nice and soft and ripe.
To Serve:
Put a tablespoon or two of the mix in individual shallow bowls (eg: pasta bowls) to just coat the surface, and cover with corn chips (please – not the flavoured ones!). Top with grated cheese and grill until cheese is just turning brown and crispy.
Cover the middle of the cheese coated corn chips with hot bean mix ready to top with Salsas and sour cream.
The same principals can be used for tachos, fajita's, and enchiladas, or you can serve the bean mix with melted cheese and sour cream as a pre-dinner or cocktail accompanied dip.
