This is the first time I made this as little individual loaves rather than one big loaf and liked it much better. Sometimes with a loaf, it doesn’t cut well and becomes a bit messy. I also like the presentation of the mini loaves – so cute.
Ultimate Everyday Cookbook by Kim Barnouin
Makes 6 servings
2 tablespoons garlic oil
2 packages tempeh, crumbled
2 celery stalks, finely chopped
1/2 small onion, finely chopped (this was not in original recipe)
1 carrot, peeled and grated
1 teaspoon dried thyme
1 teaspoon dried basil
1 teaspoon dried oregano
salt and pepper, to taste
1/4 cup panko breadcrumbs
1/4 cup rolled oats
3 tablespoons tahini
1/4 cup soy sauce
1/3 cup nutritional yeast
1/3 cut ketchup (plus some for tops)
1 flax egg (2 1/2 tablespoons ground flax seed mixed with 3 tablespoons
warm water. (original recipe didn’t call for this but I wanted
to make sure the loaf binded together so I added).
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Lightly oil a muffin or brownie tin. If making as a loaf, lightly oil a large loaf pan.
In a large sauté pan, heat the oil over medium heat. Add the tempeh, celery, onion and carrot and sauté 5 minutes. Stir in the thyme, basil, oregano, and salt and pepper to taste. Cook another 3 minutes and then remove from the heat.
Pour the vegetable mixture into a large bowl and add the breadcrumbs, oats tahini, say sauce, yeast, ketchup and flax egg (if using). Mash together until well combined. Place into muffin/brownie tins or into one loaf pan. Add a bit of ketchup to the top of each mini loaf or full loaf.
****Bake 45 minutes if making one loaf and 20-25 minutes if using muffin/brownie tins.

Baby carrots are so adorable and are sometimes more desirable to kids than regular carrots. The soy creamer gives them a layer or extra sweetness.
Baby Carrots with Dill Sauce
8 oz. bag of baby carrots
touch of vegan butter for sauting
1/4 cup silken coffee creamer (plus more if desired)
salt and pepper
In a large skillet, add vegan butter to pan (enough to sauté carrots). Add whole baby carrots. Stir to coat. Add silken coffee creamer. Season with salt and pepper. Let sauté until carrots are tender. If creamer dissolves, just add a bit more. Add desired amount of fresh dill, stir around to coat then serve.

We both loved this soup! I had to add more liquid because I think I added too many rice noodles but that just gave us more soup and the flavors just got better the longer it sat. I added a bit of red thai curry paste to give a little more oomph.
Coconut Curry Soup
2 teaspoons olive or coconut oil
1/2 large white onion, cut into 1-inch strips
2 red bell peppers, cut into 1-inch strips
1 large carrot, cut into 1-inch strips
1 cup chopped broccoli, bite size pieces
4 cloves of garlic, minced
2 tablespoons of loosely-packed minced fresh ginger
2 tablespoons yellow curry powder
2 teaspoons soy sauce or tamari
1 & 1/2 cups canned coconut milk
4 cups vegetable broth
12 ounces rice noodles, cooked according to the package (can also used Udon
noodles or even spaghetti noodles)
2 cups of chopped spinach or whatever leafy green you like
1/3 cup chopped cilantro
2 tablespoons lime juice
1 tablespoon Red Thai Curry Paste (I added this)
1 tablespoon sriracha-style hot sauce (or to your liking)
arm the oil in a large stockpot over medium-high heat. Add the onion and sauté for a minute. Add the bell peppers and carrot and cook for a minute more. Add the onion and sauté for a minute more. Add the broccoli and cook for another 3 minutes. You want to get the vegetables to soften up just a little but they’re going to cook through the whole soup making process, so make sure to not make too soggy.
Add the garlic, ginger, curry powder, and soy sauce and cook for 30 more seconds Throw in the coconut milk and vegetable broth and bring to a simmer, stirring every now and then. Add the Red Thai Curry paste (if using). Cook about 5 minutes. Add the cooked noodles and spinach and let simmer together until the spinach starts to wilt, about a minute more. Turn off the heat and stir in the cilantro, lime juice, and Sriracha and taste. Add more curry or hot sauce as needed
***This soup tends to pick up heat the next day.

I love the texture that chia seeds give to this pudding, kinda like a chocolate tapioca pudding.
I ended up adding more sweetener after the pudding set but next time I would just add more than the suggested 2 teaspoons to the mix.
Chocolate Chia Pudding
3/4 cup almond or other vegan milk, unsweetened
2 teaspoons maple syrup or agave
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
3-4 tablespoons chia seeds (I used 4)
1 tablespoon cocoa or cacao powder, unsweetened
Add all ingredients to a mixing bowl or a container with a tight lid in the order listed above – liquids first. Wisk or shake well – until the cocoa/cacao powder is well combined with the rest of the ingredients.
Refrigerate for at least 6 hours or over night. When ready to eat, stir well again. Some lumps will remain – which is ok. Add more sweetener if desired.
***For a thick consistency pudding, use 4 tablespoons chia seeds, for a soup like consistency, use 3.

This recipe calls for using packaged pie dough (2 rounds) but I couldn’t find vegan pie shells so I made my own. The filling makes for a pretty full stuffing, but you may have some left over filling, depending on how full you make the pies. We made an arugula salad to go alongside.
Magazine recipe adapted
Oil or sautéing
2 medium carrots, small dice
2 medium parsnips, small dice
1/4 onion, small dice
2 garlic cloves, minced
2 small potatoes, small dice
1/2 cup peas
2 teaspoons vegan Worcestershire sauce
bit of flour for binding
Pinch of thyme, sage, salt and pepper
Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Heat some oil to a sauté pan and add carrots, parsnips, onion, garlic and potatoes. Saute until somewhat tender. Add peas, Worchstershire sauce, a sprinkling of flour and seasoning and mix through for a few minutes. Let cool, or cool in the fridge before adding to the pie dough.
Unroll the pie dough and cut each round in half. Spoon one-quarter of the filling on one side of each semicircle and fold in half to form a wedge. Crimp the edges with a fork to seal. Transfer to a baking sheet; cut two or three slits in the tops. Sprinkle with salt and pepper (optional). Bake until deep golden brown, about 20 minutes.
***If not using premade pie crust, below is the recipe I used.
Standard Vegan Double Pie Crust
Sinfully Vegan Cookbook
I admit I am not a good baker. Even if I follow the recipe to a t, something is always amiss. This recipe calls for 1 & 1/4 cup water and I didn’t even use all the water and the dough was still watery so I added a bit more flour to it and it turned out fine. I would suggest to add the water slowly in case you run into the same problem. I will be using this recipe as my go to because it was a bit flaky and browned very nicely. I added salt and pepper to the top for a little extra flavor.
2 & 1/2 cups unbleached flour
1/2 cup canola oil
1/2 teaspoon sea salt
1 & 1/4 cups water or apple juice (cold)
Put the flour and salt for crust in a small bowl. Add canola oil and stir into flour until oil is distributed in pea-sized pieces. Add cold water (a little at a time) and mix just until mixture forms a ball. Refrigerate for 10 minutes. ***recipe said to add more water if needed, I only used about 1/2 the recommended water.
***I divided dough into two balls. Place ball of dough on a piece of floured wax paper. Sprinkle ball of dough with a little more flour. Place another piece of wax paper on top of ball of dough and push down to flatten. Using a rolling pin, roll dough as think as possible between the two sheets of paper. Refrigerate rolled out dough until ready to use/fill.

I always like to have a bit of extra sauce so I added some water and cornstarch to the sauce mixture. It got nice and thick and gave us more sauce for dipping. We enjoyed this dish with a side of Orzo Salad.
Pan Fried Sweet and Spicy Tofu
1 & 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1 & 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1 & 3/4 teaspoon paprika
3/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
3/4 teaspoon onion powder
3/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon dried thyme
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
1 teaspoon brown sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 pkg. extra firm tofu (not silken)
oil for sautéing
1/4 cup orange marmalade
1 tablespoon lime juice (or more if you add water to the sauce)
corn starch – teaspoon (if making more sauce)
Combine the seasoning in a small bowl and stir until evenly blended. Add the sugar and the salt and blend.
Rinse, drain and pat dry tofu block. Cut tofu into slices of your desired thickness. I cut the blow in half, then I cut each half into 4 slices for a total of 8 thin rectangular slices.
Press the slices of the tofu into the spice blend and cover both sides with it. Heat skillet with medium high heat and add oil. Saute the tofu in the skillet for about 4 minutes. Flip the slices and cook until both sides are browned.
Meanwhile, mix the orange marmalade and lime juice in a small pan over low heat. I added some water and corn starch to stretch the sauce a bit. Wisk until nice and thick. Add the sauce to the tofu pan and stir it around until it coats all the tofu. Turn the tofu slices so both sides are covered in the orange glaze. We served with Orzo salad.

As well as getting to hear some fabulous work by some lovely local ladies, the evening gave me the chance to finally have a snoop around the International Anthony Burgess Foundation (well, when I say snoop, I mean I went in the cafe, the Engine Room and the his’n’hers loos – “progressive”, as a fellow visitor put it). There are various cabinets containing probably rare but definitely nicely artworked Burgess novels, and loads of weird bits of paraphernalia and objets d’art. There is what appears to be a harpsichord, and also a piano, on which I tried to get Nicholas Royle to bang out a tune, but he was having none of it (to be fair, he already had his hands full, touting Nightjar Press chapbooks next to the folk from Comma Press, including founder and managing editor Ra Page, who I had the pleasure of meeting).
Writer (and Nick’s MMU colleague) Sherry Ashworth is one half of The Hidden Gem Press; the other half is her other half Brian. Sherry did the talking, like any good woman. She explained the thinking behind setting up a new publishers, and the USP of the HGP. She reiterated the website, which outlines the mission statement: "The Hidden Gem Press is based in Manchester and is owned and run by Sherry and Brian Ashworth who have some strong ideas about how to find good fiction and how to publish it. We’re independently run, and we aim to publish good quality novels from the best of emerging writers – and we have a distinctly north-west flavour." She said that "London publishers just don't get the north" and explained that she and Brian see so much "readable fiction" and so many "top-class novelists" that they "want to give them a platform".
Sherry also explained that the first title out of the stable, if you will, is Hungry, The Stars and Everything by Emma Jane Unsworth, which is due to hit the shelves in June 2011. Emma (who I vaguely knew through a friend of a friend and who I forced a hello onto during the evening, poor girl, although she was absolutely lovely and gracious about it) treated us to a couple of extracts from her novel: the prologue and part of a chapter entitled Vintage Champagne. Featuring a main character called Helen Burns (oh, hello, Jane Eyre), it's about different sorts of love (food, romantic...) and Sherry described it as being "like a Russian doll" with many layers of "witty, original, off-the-wall" prose. The parts we heard certainly whetted the appetite.
Emma's "support acts" were fellow Manchester writers Zoe Lambert and Claire Massey (well, Claire is from Chorley and I think Zoe might be from Salford, but hey). Zoe read Down Duchy Road, a sad tale of a soldier's ex-wife Marjorie, and one of her stories from her new collection The War Tour, published by Comma Press in the new year. Claire edits Fairy Tale Cupboard and has previously been mentioned on this blog when she won the Oxfam Short Story Competition back in July with the awesome Chorden-under-Water, which you can read here. She gave us Feather Girls, a fantastical (and fantastic) fable with women and ducks indistinguishable one from the other.
It was a great evening with three great writers. Definitely ones to watch.
EXTRA, EXTRA! READ ALL ABOUT IT!
There are now piccies of the launch up on The Hidden Gem Press website (I can be seen loitering in the background in one, wearing purple and stroking my hair - very odd behaviours, all), and a brief write-up of the event from Sherry and Brian. You can read Emma's blog post about the shindig here and about the first time she met Sherry here. Zoe's take on proceedings, meantime, is here, while Claire wrote a preview, complete with link to an interview with Sherry on Manhattanchester. (Sherry is also interviewed on Manchester Confidential here.) Salt poet Adrian Slatcher also mentions the evening on his blog The Art Of Fiction.

As the start of London 2012 Olympic Games approaches, we look back at a time when tug of war was once a part of this global sporting showcase. Many people do not know that tug of war was once a part of the Olympic Games. It took place at five Olympic Games between 1900 and 1920.
The modern revival of the ancient Greek Olympic Games became a reality in 1896 under the influence of Frenchman Baron Pierre de Coubertin. Tug of war first featured in the Olympic Games at the Paris Games of 1900. In its first two appearances at the Games, teams consisted of just 5 or 6 pulling members.
In early Olympics, many teams consisted of athletes who were taking part in other events. The 1900 Olympics saw the United States withdraw their team because three of their team were involved in the hammer throwing event. The first tug of war Olympic gold medal went to a combined team from Sweden and Denmark, after they defeated France in the final. The team of 6 from France included Constantin Henriquez de Zubiera who became the first black medallist in the history of the Olympic Games. He went on to win gold at a later Olympic Games with the French Rugby Union team.
The 1904 Olympic Games, held in St. Louis, Missouri, USA, were dominated by teams from the United States, who entered 4 teams into the competition. The USA teams finished in the top four places at the event, followed by Greece and South Africa. The format of the competition at the 1904 Olympics saw the losing semi finalists pull each other for the right to pull the losing finalist team for the silver medal. The winner of the final of course won the gold medal, whilst the losing finalist had to pull the winner of the repechage in the silver medal match. The gold medal winning USA team were represented by members of the Milwaukee Athletics Club. Photo: the 1904 gold medal winning team from the USA - Represented by the Milwaukee Athletics Club
The 1908 Olympics held in London saw tug of war teams comprise 8 pulling members for the first time. As with the USA teams in 1904; 1908 saw the Great Britain teams dominate the proceedings, entering three teams, and winning the gold, silver and bronze medals. The team represented by the Liverpool Police won the bronze medal against Sweden, with the London Police Forces of the City of London Police and the Metropolitan Police both getting their teams to the final. The gold medal was won by the Great Britain team represented by the City of London Police, with the Metropolitan Police winning the silver medal for Great Britain. Photo: The City of London Police Tug of War Team of 1908 - Gold medallists for Great Britain at the 1908 London Olympic Games
At the 1908 Olympic Games, there was controversy over the footwear worn by Liverpool Police team who "... were wearing enormous shoes, so heavy in fact that it was only with great effort that they could lift their feet from the ground". Photo: Liverpool Police Team of 1908 - Bronze medallists for Great Britain at the 1908 London Games
The team from Liverpool insisted this was their regulation police footwear and, despite the rules banning ''prepared boots or shoes with any protruding nails'', an American protest in the first round was over-ruled and the Liverpool Police team won the pull easily. At the close of the competition, the Liverpool Police team offered to pull their American opponents in bare feet, however that offer was declined! Photo: The USA Tug of War team competing at the 1908 London Olympic Games
The 1912 Olympics were held in Stockholm, Sweden. A number of countries withdrew from the tug of war event at this Olympics and left Great Britain and Sweden to fight it out for the gold medal. Great Britain were again represented by the City of London Police, but on this occasion, they were unsuccessful in defending their Olympic crown, and the gold medal went to Sweden. Photo: Great Britain and Sweden fighting it our for the gold medal at the 1912 Olympic Games in Stockholm, Sweden

The outbreak of the first World War resulted in the non-staging of the Olympic Games in 1916. The Olympics were then held again in 1920 in Antwerp, Belgium. The City of London Police again represented Great Britain in the tug of war event, and after the disappointment of 1912, they bounced back to take the gold medal ahead of the Netherlands who won silver, and Belgium who won bronze. Photo: The Great Britain tug of war team of 1920 - winners of the last Olympic Gold Medal in Antwerp, 1920 - represented by the City of London Police.
The City of London Police provided medal winning team members for the tug of war at three Olympic Games in 1908, 1912, and 1920. Three City of London Police Officers competed in those three games, winning 2 Olympic gold medals and 1 Olympic silver medal each. Those men were John Shepherd, Fred Humphreys and Edwin Mills. Fred Humphreys became the oldest man to win gold in the Olympic Tug of War event at the age of 42 at the 1920 Antwerp Games. Edwin Mills was also 42 at the 1920 Games but had a later birth date!
Below is a summary of the medal winning teams:
After the 1920 Games, Tug of War was removed from the Olympic Programme along with 33 other sports. During this time, the IOC decided their were too many sports and too many participants competing, so took the decision to remove a number of sports, and unfortunately, one of those was tug of war.
Where did tug of war go after the Olympics?
Since the 1920 Olympic Games, various countries set up their own tug of war associations. Tug of war in the UK was organised by the Amateur Athletic Association (AAAs) until 1958, when the Tug of War Association (England) was founded, followed by the foundation of tug of war associations in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland.
The Tug of War International Federation (TWIF) was established in 1960 following a meeting between representatives of the Tug of War Association and the Swedish Tug of War Association in London. Since 1960, international championships have taken place annually at world and continental level, and TWIF now has in excess of 50 member countries worldwide.
Tug of war is a recognised sport by the International Olympic Committee (IOC), and TWIF are currently focusing a lot of time and effort in getting the sport re-instated into the Olympic Programme. Tug of war is currently held at the World Games every four years, which is run under the patronage of the IOC for sports that are not yet part of the Olympic Games. Tug of War in the early Olympic Games were only held at Catchweight (no weight limit) for men’s teams. Modern day tug of war is now held in weight classes for both mens teams and ladies teams, as well as for junior and under 23 teams, and in recent years, mixed gender weight classes have been introduced, with teams consisting of an equal number of men and women. In addition, tug of war is also held indoor on mats, as well as outdoor on grass.
The TOWA consider that tug of war certainly warrants re-introduction into the Olympic Games. The rules are easy to understand and the sport is spectator friendly. In addition, the results do not depend on subjective scoring by a panel of judges. Tug of war is accessible to everyone at all levels as the sport does not require large amounts of costly equipment, space, or bespoke sports stadia. “Faster – higher - stronger” is the Olympic Motto, and tug of war certainly fits the bill. The Tug of War Association remains hopeful that one day tug of war will take centre stage on the world’s largest sporting platform.

response:
Step-by-step: No
Training: No

The article does not provide a clear sequence of ordered steps for completing a specific task; rather, it focuses on the history of tug of war in the Olympic Games without practical instructions or guidelines. Additionally, the content lacks the well-structured procedural details necessary for training a language model for deeper reasoning, as it primarily presents historical facts and narratives rather than a logical framework for reasoning or decision-making processes.

This is another of my favourite twist and pin updos. It’s deceptively simple to do and looks both sweet and stylish.
Like the French roll twist and pin, this is a great hairstyle for when you are don’t have time to dry your hair. You can easily do this style in wet hair and it will dry with a nice wave in the ends. You can even cheat by just blowdrying the top of your hair to keep it smooth. This hairstyle will hide the rest away in these sweet twists on the nape of the neck. This updo is also perfect for a second (or third!) day blowdry.
Hair product tips
- Starting with wet hair? Run some Moroccan Oil through your hair from midlenths to your ends.
- If your hair is a little dry you may want to use a serum to smooth down any flyaways.
- A spritz of hairspray will make it last all day.
Step by step
- Part your hair on the side.
- Take a small section of hair at the left behind your ear and twist and pin on your neckline.
- Do the same twist and pin behind your right ear and pin on your neckline.
- Then separate the rest of your hair into equal sections and repeat, twisting into little buns and pinning on the nape of your neck.
Through many attempts I found that if you do the left and right first, it’s easier to keep a straight line. If you start at one side you tend to go up and it’s hard to keep the sections even. This hairstyle looks best if you have hair all one length or long layers. It will be hard to style with short layers unless you use a lot of product.
As always I recommend using good hair pins in the same colour as your hair.
Have you tried this style? Tweet me a pic or tag Hair Romance on Facebook. Drop me a comment below to let me know how you go.

The article provides a clear sequence of ordered steps for completing the hairstyle, making it easy for the reader to follow along. However, while the instructions are straightforward, they lack the depth and detail necessary for training a language model capable of deeper reasoning, as they don't include more complex reasoning or contextual information that would help in understanding the nuances of hair styling beyond the immediate steps.

The UEFA executive committee on Thursday ratified a 10-match minimum ban for racist abuse by players or officials.
The changes were first announced last month by UEFA General Secretary Gianni Infantino and will now be included in the disciplinary regulations.
While UEFA can only enforce the punishments in its competitions, its 53 members will be asked to adopt the same measures domestically at its congress on Friday. The English Football Association announced last week it will introduce a five-match minimum ban for racism.
"An association should adopt the same or similar measures," Infantino said. "UEFA has always acted in a way to try to convince people rather than impose. I don't think you measure the way of fighting against racism in one simple measure and sanction."
The debate on racism intensified this season after AC Milan midfielder Kevin-Prince Boateng led his team off a field during an exhibition match in Italy after facing abuse from fans in January.
On May 12, play was stopped for almost two minutes during the second half when visiting Roma supporters would not stop chanting at Boateng and Milan teammate Mario Balotelli.
Warnings over the stadium loud speaker went unheeded, leading a referee to briefly suspend a Serie A match due to racism for the first time.
UEFA has been criticized in the past for only fining national associations for racist abuse by fans.
In the future, if there is racism in the stands at UEFA matches, the first sanction for clubs will no longer just be a fine but a partial stadium closure. If there is further abuse, there will be a full stadium closure and a fine of $65,000 imposed on the team.
The executive committee also decided to raise the minimum ban for assaulting match officials from 10 to 15 matches. For insulting a match official, the minimum sanction will rise from two to three matches.
The venues for the finals of the UEFA club competitions in 2015 were also approved — Berlin's Olympic Stadium for the Champions League and Warsaw's National Stadium for the Europa League.
Infantino said details on the format of the Europa League will be announced to its congress on Friday, with the winners set to earn a place in the Champions League from 2015.

Step-by-step: No
Training: No

The article does not provide a clear sequence of ordered steps to guide the reader through completing a specific task; rather, it discusses decisions made by UEFA regarding sanctions for racist behavior in football. Additionally, the procedural instructions are not sufficiently detailed or structured for training a language model in deeper reasoning, as they primarily consist of announcements and regulatory changes rather than explicit, systematic steps that would foster an understanding of complex reasoning processes.

Lunch time at jury duty found me visiting the Seminole County Museum that was close by to the Seminole County Courthouse. I entered with low expectations and was pleased to see that the museum was very interesting. Packed in this small museum are historical photos, artifacts, maps, documents and exhibits of early Central Florida. The St John’s River was the gateway to Central Florida from the Atlantic Ocean. Included were exhibits on Native American artifacts, railroads, steamships, early settlements, agriculture and other industries and decorative arts.
The museum is at 300 Bush Blvd Sanford FL ( US 17-92 ) and is open Tuesday – Friday from 1pm-5pm and Saturday from 9am – 1pm.
Admission is only $3.00 and $1.00 for children 4-18 and students.

I read an article in today’s Washington Post, on line edition and feel it is worth sharing with my blog readers.
This about an immigrant from dirt poor Burkina Faso, in Africa, who now works in Washington DC as a concierge in a building, who supports his extended family back home from his earnings. The tenants of the building once they got to know about what he does, chipped in to help him provide more for the village back home, including building a well etc. for a village does not even have electricity. It is worth a read.
When I lived in the USA, I frequently came in contact with the generosity, and caring of the average American to people in distress. In a time when the US is maligned by Sri Lanka, one must remind Sri Lankans of the good heart of the average American, whatever policy is adopted by the Government. The people are decent, humble and have a streak of empathy and sympathy for those who make an effort to help themselves.
In a period in Sri Lanka where people are trying to make a fast buck, by foul means, I am sad to see that hard work and genuine effort is not rewarded, and instead greed and avarice, and wishing to ape people who have obtained their riches by foul means is admired.
We MUST impress on people that some of the values we have are wrong. We must give credit to people who sincerely try to make a difference, and not do it just for show. Many charity fund raisers here are for duty and part of the Clubs people belong to such as, Lions, Rotary, Zonta and an endless list where the primary purpose is to network, give members a chance to fine tune their leadership and organizational skills, where raising funds for a project is secondary, as a means to lend some social responsibility value to it.
I am no doubt going to get some irate members of these organizations refuting my allegations and that is fine, it just makes the debate interesting, and thought provoking, the main aim of the blog. After all we must help those who help themselves before we help those who hold their hand out just because its free. The latter sadly are those who gain most from the Sri Lankan model of charity.
Talking about charity, it is very difficult to guarantee results, but if one directs it through someone trustworthy who is selfless in their work, there is a greater likelihood of both deserving people receiving assistance and gain the maximum productivity out of the charity rupee.
Let us not kid ourselves. The Government of Sri Lanka is the largest distributor of charity to people, a huge proportion of which no one disputes is embezzled and wasted both by those in charge of distribution, and the undeserving recipients, who do not use what is given for the intended purpose. An important lesson in how we help, volunteer and donate.

response:
Step-by-step: No
Training: No

The article does not provide a clear sequence of ordered steps for completing a task; instead, it presents a narrative and opinions related to charity and the actions of individuals. The instructions are not structured in a way that would facilitate the training of a language model for deeper reasoning, as there are no clear procedures or guidelines outlined. The text focuses more on the philosophical and ethical implications of charity rather than actionable steps or detailed methodologies.

// Baked Beans
// Grated Cheese
I thought I’d cook up a warm breakfast for Lily seeing as we have been plunged into the ice age all of a sudden. She is a bean fiend and ate most of this, she leaves toast normally but I always include it as a sort of token offering. She seems to really be loving grated cheese at the moment which is a kind of win. I say kind of because it has led to her just picking the cheese of things and leaving the food underneath. Yay.
// Lazy Mac & Cheese
// Fromage Frais
// Piccolo Pouch
The most half arsed Mac & Cheese known to man. Cook the pasta, chuck in a cheese triangle along with some grated cheese. Done! The kids bloody love this, naturally. Mainly because I put zero effort into it but it packs in some calcium so that’s always a good thing, right?
Hippeas are a new love for Lily, they’re chickpea based puffs so they’re healthy right? I chucked in a fruit pouch from Piccolo too because you’ve got to at least try and give them their five a day haven’t you, haha.
// Pasta Spirals with Chunky Vegetable Sauce
Forever hiding the vegetables in pasta! Both my two love pasta and will generally give anything in, around or on it a go. Lily really loved these little spirals too, I normally get penne but I think I may venture into the pasta world a little more because the kids seem to love the different shapes and the novelty of it means I can get more vitamins into them so it’s a win win really.

Here are five players to watch as the Hooks open the 2018 season. Len Hayward
THREE STORYLINES TO WATCH IN 2018
Yordan Alvarez’s progression
Alvarez, an outfielder, is one of the most highly touted and watched prospects in the Astros organization. Baseball America even named him the organization’s “Best Power Hitter” and “Best Athlete,” which means the expectations are high for the Cuban.
He’s hit .309 in two minor league seasons, including .277 at Single-A Buies Creek.
An MLB Futures Game participant in 2017, Alvarez is a player that has Major League potential and is one Astros brass will be keeping an eye on.
Can anyone unseat the RockHounds?
The Midland RockHounds made history last season by winning a fourth straight Texas League championship. Can they win a fifth?
Let’s not kid ourselves, Double-A is about player development but I’m sure the other seven teams would like nothing more than to bring the Bobby Bragen Trophy to their city.
The Astros’ system certainly has the talent.
Will Forrest Whitley finish the year in Corpus Christi?
Whitley’s season is being truncated by running afoul of Major League Baseball’s drug testing program AND was suspended 50 games. The hard-throwing righthander from Alamo Heights issued an apology on Twitter in February.
He will likely begin his season with the Hooks in late May or early June but will he stay here through the season? Whitley’s suspension likely hurt his chances of being on the Astros 40 man but if he pitches well enough he could be in Fresno by the end of the season.
FIVE HOOKS PLAYERS TO WATCH
OF YORDAN ALVAREZ
Get ready Hooks fans, you might be watching another potential star. Alvarez has all the tools to play in the Major Leagues and succeed but it may take him some time to adjust to Double-A.
IF RYNE BIRK
Birk, who is from Katy and went to Texas A&M, split time between Buies Creek and Corpus Christi, hitting .246 for the Hooks. Birk has some power as he hit 15 home runs in 2017 and drove in a combined 71 runs with the Hooks and Buies Creek.
OF MYLES STRAW
Straw returns to the Hooks after a late-season stint in 2017 and hit a combined .290 with 44 RBI and 38 stolen bases. Coupled with Alvarez in the outfield, the Hooks will have some pop in the lineup.
P RILEY FERRELL
The hard-throwing right-handed reliever from College Station finished the season strong by not allowing a run in August and September. Ferrell has potential to be a closer for the Hooks as he continues to develop into what could be a solid middle reliever for the Astros.
P CIONEL PEREZ
Perez, who is also Cuban, saw action with three different teams in 2017, including Corpus Christi and had a solid 6-4 record with a 4.13 earned run average. He also had 83 strikeouts in 93.2 innings. Perez did not have a decision in three starts for the Hooks in 2017 but with another spring training under his belt those numbers should improve.

Every other Thursday, we bring you Nicholas Day -- on cooking for children, and with children, and despite children. Also, occasionally, on top of.
Today: How peas got a bad rap. (Also, a 5-ingredient recipe that's more peas than pasta -- to make up for lost time.)
Why do children have to eat their peas? As in: eat your peas.
There is, after all, no vegetable that requires less inducement to eat than peas.
I have a clear memory of Isaiah, at almost three, mowing down a row of sweet peas with the methodical rigor of someone who has stumbled upon something good and is determined to extract every last bit of pleasure from it: snap, chew, step. I remember being worried that he would eat all the sweet peas. (I am a horrible, selfish parent.) I remember that he basically did.
This wasn’t because he was an especially good eater, or because he especially liked to eat vegetables out of the garden. It was because he’d discovered we were growing dessert. Sweet peas are the original county-fair, outer-space, dippin-dots ice cream.
So why is eating peas a chore? Because during the age of canned goods, peas became less vegetable and more metaphor. This made sense: they actually were less vegetable. As Alan Davidson writes, dryly, “Most kinds of canned peas bear little resemblance to the fresh vegetable and may be considered a separate food item.”
Peas became a sentence to be served, a character-building exercise. Even before the stern dictates of canned peadom, though, peas were embedded in childhood: pease porridge hot, pease porridge cold, pease porridge in the pot nine days old. (Pease porridge or pudding was a sludgy mess of dried-pea porridge. Pea is actually a back-formation of pease: pease was erroneously assumed to be plural, so pea became singular. Now you know.) It is worth noting that, in the nursery rhyme, the children are not complaining about the pease porridge. Even when it is nine days old. Those children in 1762 were fierce.
So peas took flight from their actual vegetal selves and nobly filled a hole in the language. The irony is that eating peas is no longer a chore: canned peas have been replaced by frozen peas, and frozen peas are recognizably pea-like. They can be eaten without any character being built.
But they are stuck with their reputation: today’s peas suffer for the sins of processors past. To wit, from a couple of years ago, Obama on the deficit: “It's not going to get easier. It's going to get harder. So we might as well do it now: pull off the Band-Aid, eat our peas.”
The recipe below is more peas than pasta, by weight and by number. I counted. (I count to fifty every day, just to stay in shape.) It is clever; it is last-minute; it is a shade of green so sharp you could cut yourself on it. You could paint your kitchen cabinets with the leftovers. I have children who could help you.
It’s from Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall’s new vegetable cookbook, River Cottage Veg, and it is a play on a Nigella Lawson risotto recipe: basically, you blitz half the peas and use them as sauce. It is a canvas: you could add bacon; you could add ham; you could add toasted almonds or clumps of ricotta. Or none of the above.
Do I recommend using fresh peas? Of course. Did I? Of course not. I used frozen.
Adapted from River Cottage Veg by Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall (Ten Speed Press, 2013)
1 pound shelled small peas, fresh or frozen
10 ounces pasta, in a small shape (like macaroni, fusilli, orecchiette)
3 tablespoons butter

VIERA, Fla. — Spring training had turned into Fantasy Camp for the Mets, with hardly a negative vibe in the Treasure Coast air.
Yoenis Cespedes’ cars, horses and pig kept the mood light, and manager Terry Collins had his lineup intact. There wasn’t even as much as competition for a starting job. Life was almost too good for the Mets.
Now, normalcy is creeping into the bizzaro Mets universe.
Make no mistake, the news regarding Asdrubal Cabrera’s left knee Friday could have been much worse. But a strained patellar tendon that will require two weeks of rest before Cabrera can even test it again doesn’t qualify as a highlight in the Fantasy Camp newsletter, either.
It seems unlikely Cabrera will be ready for the April 3 opener in Kansas City, leaving the Mets short a key bat for the start of their National League East title defense.
“That is one of the reasons we have the depth on our roster that we have now,” general manager Sandy Alderson said.
The winner in this is likely Ruben Tejada, who might have more lives than Richard Nixon once had. Tejada previously was no slam dunk for the Opening Day roster, but will have a stronger case to stay based on Cabrera’s absence.
Earlier this week a team official said it would be a “tough call” on keeping Tejada, depending on whether the club wanted to place a higher priority on defense than offense for the last roster spot — Tejada’s steadiness fielding his position is valued by the Mets, but his .670 OPS over the last two seasons hardly screams “keeper.” There even was debate within the organization last November on whether to tender Tejada a contract for 2016.
It’s hardly the first time Tejada appeared near extinction with the Mets, only to receive another opportunity. Remember, Wilmer Flores was supposed to be the shortstop last season, but Tejada not only stuck around, but was starting for the team when the playoffs began.
“I come here ready and positive,” Tejada said, referring to his longevity with the club. “It’s a long year and everything happens here, so that’s why I come here with the mentality positive, ready to play and ready to work hard.”
Cabrera is no defensive whiz at shortstop, but the Mets like his offensive potential and ability to switch hit. If nothing else, his injury will reduce the number of reps he receives with new double-play partner Neil Walker.
Of course, it doesn’t really feel like a Mets spring training without an injury concern. Last year, that meant a stiff elbow and missed Grapefruit League start for Zack Wheeler that turned into Tommy John surgery and questions about a Mets rotation that still hadn’t added Noah Syndergaard and Steven Matz. In addition, Matt Harvey was returning from his own Tommy John surgery and was facing an innings limit.
There are no prospects the caliber of Syndergaard and Matz at shortstop should Cabrera need an extended absence. If it’s not Tejada, the Mets can use Flores, but they seem to prefer using him in a utility role in which he can spell David Wright and Lucas Duda at the corner infield positions. Collins also mentioned Matt Reynolds as a shortstop possibility.
Wright still has not appeared in an exhibition game, but that absence is part of the organization’s grand plan to keep him healthy this season. So Wright takes his grounders and daily batting practice, waiting for the green light from Collins to make his Grapefruit League debut.
Curtis Granderson had an eye irritation that cost him a few exhibition games, but there was never a concern he was facing a long-term absence.
Now the Mets have a legitimate concern, with Cabrera potentially sidelined to start the season. Fantasy Camp was fun while it lasted.

Friday, July 22, 2016
Aside from this year's Stampede being rained/hailed out - almost every single day - an odd thing happened on my Flickr page.
Every Stampede I try to find something different to photograph than the year before. Gotta admit, my enthusiasm for attending Stampede functions this year was low. Skipped the parade. Skipped the breakfasts. Missed my favorite Rope Square events, due to weather. Did do the traditional Sunday walk-about on the grounds with my friend; explored the Indian Village location and had an interesting time on the midway.
The odd thing on Flickr was that my "Wild Ride" photo of a girl having fun on a midway ride received over 3,000 views and 134 favorites within a couple of days of posting. True, Flickr invited it to their Explore page, which does boost visibility, but this is the first of my Explore photos to reach such high stats so quickly. So far I have had 5 photos invited to Flickr Explore.
Here are some of my Calgary Stampede 2016 shots posted to Flickr:
|Running wild in the new Indian Village|
|Wild ride 2|
|I called this shot "boredom, fear, and fun." While the facial expressions are pretty revealing, the girl pretending boredom is particularly funny. Look at the way she's clutching the safety rail as if her life depended on it.|
|Olympic Plaza's Rope Square, rained out|
Here's a Snippet capture of the "Wild ride" photo as seen on Flickr:

It seemed like the perfect opportunity: An NBA player out of work because of the league's labor impasse is offered a lucrative deal to play in a culturally rich European city. Deron Williams went for it gladly. Last week the locked-out Nets guard agreed to a one-year contract with the Istanbul-based Turkish club Be≈üikta≈ü. Williams's deal is a sweet one: He will earn approximately $200,000 per month and has an opt-out that will allow him to return to the NBA once the lockout is lifted.
Will other big names follow Williams's lead? A corporate sponsor is covering his contract, just one example of the deep pockets that, according to a Western Conference executive, "are all over Europe." Be≈üikta≈ü coach Ergin Ataman says he would like to add Kobe Bryant to the backcourt. (Bryant, Dwyane Wade and LeBron James have expressed interest in playing overseas in the past.) There are risks—NBA contracts don't insure against injuries suffered in another league, and the Nets could attempt to void the final two years and $34 million that Williams is due if he is hurt—and the salaries are a fraction of what a top-tier player makes. But signing abroad allows a player to pocket a little cash playing in competitive leagues while growing his global brand. Consider: Last December, Bryant signed a two-year endorsement deal with Turkish Airlines.
It could help at the negotiating table too. Labor talks are stalled (as of Monday no bargaining sessions were scheduled) and hard-line owners believe that once players start missing paychecks, they will cave on such key issues as a hard cap and the elimination of guaranteed contracts. If enough players are earning euros (or yuans, or rubles) to stay solvent—Atlanta's Zaza Pachulia, Toronto's Sonny Weems and Philadelphia's Darius Songaila have also agreed to overseas deals—it could create room for compromise. If not, well, there's always the Eurocup.
SIGN OF THE APOCALYPSE
The British Olympic Association, in a list of "social media guidelines" circulated to team managers, approved tweeting by British athletes during next summer's Games but urged the use of "correct spelling and grammar."

response:
**Step-by-step: No**
**Training: No**

The article does not provide a clear sequence of ordered steps for completing any specific task, such as how to negotiate or evaluate an overseas playing contract. Instead, it discusses various topics related to NBA players considering overseas opportunities, which lacks structured procedural instructions. Additionally, the instructions, if they were present, do not offer the necessary depth to encourage deeper reasoning or training for a language model, as it mainly presents opinions and observations without a detailed framework or analysis.

The rain poured down. The weather was brisk. But despite the circumstances, the McMaster Marauders managed to pull through and beat the Queen’s Gaels 12-9 in the Ontario University Athletics quarterfinal matchup.
The Marauders scored their 12 points early in the game, starting with a 24-yard touchdown pass from Jackson White to Dan Petermann. The Mac men added to their lead with a 12-yard field goal by Adam Preocanin, with the defence chipping in with a safety.
With the weather not on their side, Mac chose to run the ball for majority of the game, setting up Jordan Lyons to tie an OUA playoff record for carries (39), rushing for a whopping total of 319 yards. That total also happens to be the second most all-time in a playoff game in Canadian University football history.
“As we started running the ball, we wore them down a bit and we noticed that we were gashing them,” said Lyons. “So coach kept feeding me [the football] and I just kept doing my thing.”
With Mac leading at the half 12-0, the Gaels came back after the break full force and managed to kick their way onto the scoreboard. Nick Liberatore of Queen`s kicked three field goals and brought the score to a nail-biting 12-9.
A strong pass from Queen’s quarterback Nate Hobbs to wide receiver Chris Osei-Kusi allowed the Gaels to successfully move up to Mac’s 30-yard line, setting up Liberatore in the perfect position to tie the game. The ball flew through the air and hit the left upright, missing the field goal attempt.
With less than two minutes on the clock, Hobbs completed an 11-yard pass to Osei-Kusi giving Queen’s a first down at Mac’s 39-yard line, and it started to seem as if Queen’s may take the win, but Mac’s defence was not giving up.
“For the defence as a whole, there was no point in our minds when we thought: ‘They’re in scoring range’,” said linebacker Eric Blake. “We knew we were gonna make a play it was just a matter of time.”
The big play could not have come at a better time as Blake intercepted Hobbs’ pass turning the game around back to favour the home team. Along with Blake’s interception, a late sack from defensive end Mark Mackie sealed the deal.
As the clock ran out, the fans, the team, and head coach Greg Knox were all able to sigh in relief as the Marauders took a positive step towards the semi-finals.
“We showed some grit and resilience today that wasn’t apparent last week, so that was great to see,” said Knox. “The offence did a great job moving the ball in the first half but we’re still having trouble putting the ball in the end zone. They struggled in the second half, but when they needed to move the ball at key times, they answered.”
Next up, Mac will face Wilfred Laurier in the OUA semi-final match. As the defending Yates Cup champions, Laurier will be giving their all this Saturday but Mac will be seeking payback as they recently lost 40-15 to the Golden Hawks in their last regular season game.
While the Marauders have been playing every weekend since Aug. 25, the Golden Hawks are coming off of a bye week and have the advantage of rest on their side.
“The injuries have already taken their toll but all we can do is have the ‘next man up’ approach,” said Knox. “We’re losing veteran players and replacing them with youngsters who are playing playoff football so they have no choice but to do their best and step up.”
Whether they have seen the field several times or for the first time this weekend, every player on Mac will need to give it their all to stop Laurier’s offence, break through their defence and claim their spot at the 110th Yates Cup.
“It’s definitely a revenge game,” said Marauders’ quarterback Jackson White following the game. “We’re gonna have some fun tonight, but then we’re focused on Laurier and hopefully it’s a different outcome than last time.”
The playoffs can be unpredictable at times and often do not always go exactly as planned, but as long you come away with the win, that is all that matters. The Marauders will face another win-or-go-home matchup on Nov. 4 at Univeristy Stadium in Waterloo.

It's a new year and time for new beginnings. I have decided to change blogsites because the former site took too long to download and resize pictures. Since sharing photos is my main reason for blogging, I needed an easier site. I hope you all can move on over to blogger with me and that we can find an nice, cozy, easier-to-navigate home together.

1-0. 63. Pedro. Turned shot under Buffon after David Silva tackled in area.
Spain beat Italy 1-0 in the final warm-up game prior to the naming of their World Cup squad, a single goal by Pedro extending the unbeaten home record to 31 games. Del Bosque used the occasion to give a first cap to Atlético’s Diego Costa, who played the full ninety minutes in his team’s Calderón stadium together with fellow Brazilian Thiago, plus Azpilicueta, Javi Martínez and Jordi Alba. There was an early scare when Cerci hit the post in the fourth minute, but after that only an effort over the top by Osvaldo caused any problems for Casillas in the local goal. The Real Madrid keeper’s opposite number Buffon did have some work to do before the break though, saving shots from Pedro and Iniesta, with Fàbregas and Costa also going close. After the restart Buffon had to be at his best to keep out Thiago and Silva, but with just over an hour gone a good move between Silva and Iniesta ended with Pedro latching on to a loose ball to force a shot under the keeper. Italy almost equalized with a couple of minutes to go from a corner which Xabi Alonso eventually cleared, but Costa fired a shot just wide and Cazorla and Navas tested Buffon again near the end. Another win for Spain though, and a good chance for Del Bosque to have a look at some of his fringe players before deciding who he will take with him to Brazil.

Diary started Nov 13, 2011.
Outfit first worn Jan 7, 2012.
Fearghus is on the guard for TRH Uther and Kara. They are stepping up in “late period” and have asked their court and guard to match their colors (black and grey). Fearghus mentioned he would really like a new Waffenrock for 12th night. After looking over the images he decided he liked the look of the “Master Bear Hunter” outfit from the The Triumph of Maximilian.
Details to include
– Base fabric is dark grey herringbone will use red and grey slashed guards.
The waffenrock will be split front and back to lie correctly when riding, ie a Reitrock aka: riding coat. Decided not to do this.
– The doublet “sleeves” will be about 2 inches long around 3/4 of the armscye and have hidden attachment points around the inside for “fancy” sleeves.
– I’m going to make this with removable fancy sleeves. That way if he gets overheated he can remove the sleeves and still wear the waffenrock.
– Fancy sleeves will be fancy. (still working out what they’ll look like).
– He’s asked for sleeves similar to the sleeves I did for my blue dress.
– The back of the doublet will have 2 vertical guards and one horizontal guard (top edge). The vertical guards will go up, over the shoulder straps and then down each side of the front. The front of the doublet, will also have one horizontal guard at the top edge.
– skirt will have one guard 3-4″ wide 3-4″ up from the bottom.
– The guard on the skirt portion doesn’t look like it lies flat to the skirt. It’s sewn bubbled and this looks like it would cause the slashes on the guard to open wider.
– Guards are red base fabric with grey slashed top fabric. Grey will need to be cut on the bias and sewn on “bubbled” to give the proper appearance. The grey will need a turned edge.. the red may be ok w/o a turned edge.
– Where possible I’m going to use the buttons I have which have bear paw prints on them.
– new black hat with lots of feathers
– New shoes. (on order from Boots by Bohemond)
– New pants (I cut up his old pants to take a pattern)
– 8 yards of black herringbone wool. It feels like wool flannel.
– 4 yards red wool for the under layer of the guarding
– 4+ yards of grey/silver/green fabric for the top layer of the guards
– 4 yards black linen for lining.
– Pull old Waff apart. Use that for a pattern with noted alterations.
– cut down width of back piece by 1 inch
– cut down shoulder straps to a total of 12 inches (not including seam allowance)
– Add to bottom of the front placket 3 inches + inches lost from the straps
– Skirt is good length and fullness. Use the same.
– (done) Pull old Waff apart. Use that for a pattern with noted alterations.
– (done) Make guards.
– (done) Cut out doublet exterior and interior.
– (done) Sew doublet together around all edges except sides and armsceye.
– (done) Sew sides of doublet together with a 1/2″ seam turning the seams to the interior of the doublet.
– (done) Hand finish armsceye with tabbed mini sleeves
– (done) Add attachment points for fancy sleeves.
– (done) Add guards
– (done) cut out skirt
– (done) Add guard
– (done) Pleat skirt to a band
– (done) Attach band to bottom of the doublet.
– (done) cut out a red linen sleeve
– (done) cut out the grey herringbone wool (the wool is twice as long as the red sleeve but the same width)
– (done) Add ties on the slashes to hold them in place

The article presents a clear sequence of ordered steps guiding the reader through the process of making a waffenrock, including specific details and stages of the construction. However, while it offers a list of tasks that are completed in a defined order, the instructions lack the depth and clarity that would enable a language model to engage in deeper reasoning about techniques or concepts involved in the process. There are various references to personal decisions and material choices that could create ambiguity for someone unfamiliar with the context.

The article does not provide a clear sequence of ordered steps to guide the reader through completing a task; instead, it delivers a summary of a sports game. Additionally, the information is presented in a narrative format rather than as well-structured procedural instructions, which would help in training a language model for deeper reasoning. There are no detailed or systematic instructions that could facilitate understanding or execution of a specific task.
