7 Cup Burfi <b>Recipe</b> – 7 Cup Cake | Easy Diwali Sweet <b>Recipes</b> <b>...</b>

Posted: 31 Oct 2013 02:42 AM PDT

7 Cup burfi or 7 cup cake is an Indian sweet made during festival time like Diwali. The sweet has been named so, as we use 7 cup measurements of the ingredients and it closely resembles the Western version of Fudge Bars. It is very easy to make and everything gets done in just one pan. phew… In my opinion it's a 2 in 1 sweet as you get to enjoy both the mysore pak and the coconut burfi in this one sweet. In general burfi recipes like this one and this maida burfi makes a great gifting option. Usually Hubby buys gifts or sweet boxes for his colleagues but for both our close friends, it is always home made sweets. For the past 2 years I had been preparing the sweets and using takeaway containers, tie it with a pretty ribbon and put it in a colorful gift bag. I had been making loads of burfi for the past few days to gift them before Diwali.

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

Every Halloween my mom would serve her delicious chili!  When I was little, I didn't seem to think it was so great.  We had to finish our whole bowl of chili before we could go trick-or-treating.  I think I spent most years crying over my bowl of chili while the rest of my family hit the streets to get treats!  Now that I have grown up a bit, I love chili, but if you have picky eaters like I was, I would give this chowder a whirl!

Chef&#39;s <b>Recipe</b> – Clare&#39;s Hedgerow Muffins

Posted: 31 Oct 2013 01:13 AM PDT

DESPITE their recent battering, the Cornish hedgerows are still holding the last of the autumn fruits and this is a great recipe for making the most of them.

The muffins are delicious served warm from the oven for breakfast/brunch or, if you can resist them long enough, served cold with afternoon tea. If you have any autumn fruits left over after you've made these you could always turn the remainder into a simple compote to serve alongside.

This recipe is taken from the Great Cornish Food Book, a wonderful read for any lover of Cornwall or Cornish food and drink. Published by Cornwall Food & Drink, it's available from www.greatcornishfood.co.uk and a number of local stockists, who can be found on the website too.

Winning perfect <b>recipe</b> for drawing fans to games

Posted: 31 Oct 2013 12:07 AM PDT

This isn't Alabama. Nick Saban isn't the local college football coach. There are no titles to defend, no Bowl Championship Series supremacy to flaunt, no intimidating results on a national scale to promote.

In the world of leverage when comparing a football program to its influence over a student body, Saban proved last week his is along the lines of Ben Bernanke during times of financial panic.

Saban rules the day. The only thing bigger than his ego is his power around Tuscaloosa.

Bobby Hauck and those within athletics own no such weight over UNLV students. Hauck and his superiors are flat broke when it comes to dictating how many might support the Rebels at home games.

It is their hope, however, that winning matters, that recent success on the field can turn what at times has been a contentious relationship with students into a positive one.

"We hope every student on campus comes to the game Saturday and sells the dang thing out," Hauck said of UNLV's 1 p.m. homecoming matchup against San Jose State at Sam Boyd Stadium. "I like day football games. They ought to be played most of the time. We can't do it because (of weather) here early in the season, and television is always part of the equation, but a day football game for us will be a lot of fun.

"No situation is perfect. You can find something to not like about anything. The stadium is too far away. The tailgate isn't set up exactly how you would like it to be. The transportation (options) aren't perfect. Whatever it might be. But let's get beyond all that and say, 'This isn't exactly how I want it, but I'm going to go out there and have some fun and support my school and enjoy watching two football teams go at it.' "

And that, really, is the sell.

And that, really, should be enough.

For years, it has been about a lack of evidence, the idea that until UNLV showed an ability to compete on the scoreboard, expecting students (or anyone, for that matter) to make the trek to Sam Boyd and support a losing program was asking too much. Such reasoning had merit. One losing season is tough enough for some to handle, but nine straight creates the sort of apathy that keeps student sections empty.

But as much as athletics has attempted to address some of the students' issues earlier this season — allowing those without a game ticket into the tailgating area, lowering the cost of attending the tailgate, paying for students to be transported to and from Sam Boyd — none should be so critical that it would preclude students from supporting a team that is 5-3 and one win from bowl eligibility.

The years pass, and the men's basketball program continues to be a player within national rankings, and UNLV students respond, organizing efforts to support the Rebels in a way that rivals many of the best student sections nationally.

But this is a basketball school. Owns the tradition to prove it. Always will be.

Whether it's the distance from campus to Sam Boyd — eight miles seems like 800 to some — or the restrictions on how alcohol can be transported into the tailgate, a faction of students always will exist that simply will discover a reason not to support football.

It's those on the fence who UNLV hopes to convince otherwise.

"I do believe our success this season will bring more students out starting this weekend," athletic director Tina Kunzer-Murphy said. "Winning helps. It does. It used to be, student tickets for football would be cut off at 2,500. We changed that. There are plenty of tickets now for anyone who wants to come. I would love to see a day where we have 5,000 to 10,000 students at a game. We're doing everything we can to make it easy for them — handing out tickets on campus every Thursday, buying them pizza, addressing the need for transportation. They can print their tickets out online.

"We're doing anything we can think of to assist them."

Hauck is correct. The perfect situation doesn't exist, even for the nation's best program. Saban wasn't happy that Alabama students had been leaving his team's blowout victories early this season, so he went public with his displeasure. A day later, 20 student organizations had lost block-seating privileges for home games.

That's the egomaniac Saban for you.

That's also some serious juice.

Hauck and Kunzer-Murphy don't have that leverage. They are at the mercy of how many of those fence-sitting students decide that what they might perceive as negatives before the game now are being outweighed by watching a winning home team during it.

"I haven't been to a game yet but am thinking about going now," said Marcus, a UNLV sophomore who happened past the student union on Monday to watch football players paint the Fremont Cannon red in celebrating the team's rivalry win against UNR. "There seems to be much more of a buzz on campus about the team now."

This is what you call a start.

This isn't Alabama.

Baby steps are required.

<b>Recipe</b> for a fiasco

Posted: 31 Oct 2013 12:05 AM PDT

All wars are insane. World War I was particularly so. In this debacle of needless slaughter, soldiers were ordered to charge across open fields into the mouths of machine guns. Among the many great fiascos, the 1915 Gallipoli campaign stands out.

Stymied with an entrenched and stalemated western front, the British threw hundreds of thousands of Empire troops against the Ottoman Turks. The aim was a land march up the Dardanelles ending in the capture of Istanbul. A half-million casualties and eight months later, the British withdrew in total failure.

With the long sight of history, Scott Anderson, in "Lawrence in Arabia," lists three ingredients for why "a vastly superior military force ... managed, against all odds, to snatch defeat from all but certain victory."

These are (1) arrogance — a blinding belief in one's own superiority to such a degree as to not be able to comprehend other approaches or views, (2) political interference — in the sense that more effective and viable approaches are ignored because a powerful group has a stake in the bad decision, and (3) tunnel vision — when one is so certain of one's own views that the only solution is to double-down on failed strategies.

While this recipe could apply to Washington's fiscal meltdown, our federal educational policies are also afflicted by these same three shortcomings.

Arrogance: Perhaps nothing illustrates this better than simply declaring that all students must now leap over a "higher standard" of 5 feet when they were having trouble making it over 4 feet. Despite a few federal grants and token gifts from billionaires, no new improvement capacity is provided. Declarations, by themselves, do nothing. This thinking is akin to the real Gallipoli, where the British forgot they needed landing craft to get to the beach.

The proclaimed rationale is that the economy will be restored and poverty will be eliminated if we just score higher on international tests. Needless to say, there's little in the economic development literature that supports this simplistic notion.

We do know that the achievement gap was closing when the dominant philosophy was building the capacity of educators. Yet trading effectiveness for grandiosity, and cocksure in their own beliefs, our federal policymakers dismiss the known and the obvious.

Political interference: Perhaps it is a stretch to talk about political interference in a government that literally cannot run itself. But by its own self-immolation, it has ceded power to a strange combination of neo-liberal groups, right-wing thinktanks and billionaires.

This has had two effects. The first is the collapse of the legislative branch, which has ceded to the administration the authority to "waive" certain provisions of federal education law. While individuals "waiving" laws might strike some as being of dubious legality, that is exactly what happened.

The second effect is that government has been driven underground and out of the scrutiny of democracy's public eye. The reform efforts have been developed, in closed sessions, by private corporations such as Achieve Inc., textbook manufacturers and testing companies. And nobody has seen the tests, knows how good they are, or what will be a passing score. Needless to say, these corporations stand to make a lot of money out of this venture. While 45 states are touted as having "adopted" the Common Core standards, these adoptions have generally been uncritical rubber stamps.

Tunnel vision: Researchers from all perspectives agree that top-down, test-based approaches have not worked. Even the prestigious National Academies came to this conclusion. Lamentably, apparently having learned little from these 20 years of less than stellar progress, the same mindless mantra is chanted.

The administration has doubled down on the seizure of low-scoring schools (predominately in poor underfunded communities). Ironically, the takeover provisions were made more inflexible by the "flexibility waivers." What's stunning is that these takeover strategies are, in many cases, actually harmful.

Thus, in contemporary school reform we have the recipe for fiasco: arrogance, political interference and tunnel vision. Embracing each other, the proponents reaffirm each other in a political echo chamber, resolute, committed and unchanging in their convictions.

It is a strong analogy to compare school reform to Gallipoli. After all, there were a half million casualties. But we have 11 million children in our nation's urban schools and half these students are in poverty. Urban districts are on fiscal life support as federal school funds are in jeopardy and money is drained to support private schools — or just not appropriated at all. We could certainly do better. It is not for lack of knowing what to do. But we will not get there if blinded by tunnel vision, political distortion and arrogance.
