Cooked some thing good

After a very long time I managed to cook something good. I recently found some good recipes and made it my life ambitions to cook all the dishes, one at a time..
Today it was time for some roast chicken and yellow rice.

The site has many dishes which are popular in Sri Lanka and the Author offers helpful advice. Give it try if you have a spare moment. It is really good.

Good Luck.

England, Appreciation and Certainty

As the greatest PM England ever had, Mr H. Grant once said ( H, here stands for Huge).."Britain. We may be a small country but we're a great one, too. The country of Shakespeare, Churchill, the Beatles, Sean Connery, Harry Potter. David Beckham's right foot. David Beckham's left foot, come to that....."

Ok fine it's a bit poncy....

England, a country with a great history. The people are friendly, warm and tolerant. The inflation is a bit high and has a government full of people with odd names, like Ed Balls. ..

Why am I talking about all this.. because of the weather..

Let me explain.

They say that nothing is certain and some may be become more close to being certian than others; most of has experiences to support this theroy. But I beilive I have found and exception to this theory. That is some thing we can accept as being 100% certain.

Certainty 1: If you have lived in Great Briton for more than 4 months it is certain that either your self, or some one your know has morned about the weather saying.. or in Fucking Spain its always why cant it be like that in England or some thing similar.

May be we can compile of list of absolute certainties?

I am a bit pekish from all this thinking.. need to go and eat some bread and crisps sandwich.

After a long time.

I have a problem... I mean people who know me will tell you I have many. ..
Ok fine..
One of the problems I have is the inability keep the enthusiasm going for one particular task for a long enough period of time. I suppose this is a common problem many of us face. But for me its getting annoying. A fine example of this defect is writing this blog. I was so enthusiastic in the beginning but after a while forgot all about it. But I thought I must write some thing today, so that I can atleast say I did some thing.

Here goes.

Hello.. Hope all you eager young minds are doing exceptionally well and all fired up to take world by the horns, ride the tube, tackle a complected sudoku puzzle, have sex with the boss, eat some fucking curry, watch TV and go to bed.

Love you all .. I will write some thing better tommorow or when ever I feel like it.

If you are wondering why you reading this, I suspect that you have nothing better to do and wasting your life...why not go down to the neast chippy, buy some fucking chips and get a bit fat while you are at it.

Good day.. my lovelies.

Ten Questions they shouldnt Ask you

Although HR departments should be aware of questions that are illegal to ask prospective employees, some hiring managers aren’t so savvy. Many illegal questions are easy for just about anyone with elementary social graces to avoid, but others might surprise you. In general, you should not ask interviewees about their age, race, national origin, marital or parental status, or disabilities.

Note that this list offers only some very broad guidelines and is not exhaustive. Check with your company’s HR department to see if your state or locality, or even your company, has additional restrictions on what you may ask.

This article and more information is available here.. http://blogs.techrepublic.com.com/10things/?p=229

#1: Where were you born?

This question might seem like small talk as you get to know a person, but it could also be used to gather information illegally about the candidate’s national origin. Although it may seem more relevant, you should also avoid asking, “Are you a U.S. citizen?” You can ask whether a candidate is authorized to work in the United States, but avoid asking about citizenship.

#2: What is your native language?

Again, the problem is that this question could be used to determine national origin. You can ask whether the person knows a language if it is required for the job. For example, if job responsibilities include supporting Spanish-speaking customers, it’s fair to ask whether the candidate speaks Spanish.

#3: Are you married?

Here’s another question that would seem innocent in most settings, but definitely not in a job interview. Because you can’t discriminate on the basis of marital status, this question is off limits.

#4: Do you have children?

This might sound like small talk, too — an innocent question in most settings — but not in a job interview. It’s covered by a general prohibition about discrimination over parental status.

#5: Do you plan to get pregnant?

In the past, employers sometimes asked this question to weed out women who might take a maternity leave. It has always been rude coming from a casual acquaintance, and now it’s illegal as well.

Tip: To avoid asking the wrong questions, develop an interview form and use a copy of it for each candidate. It will document that you asked each interviewee the same questions. Failing to do so may establish a pattern that could seem discriminatory. For example, if you ask only women about their willingness to travel, thinking that the responsibilities of childcare would make them balk at business trips, you could establish a pattern of discrimination.

Remember..




Is this enough?... Do we really care for them?... A question asked around the world due to changing political landscape. Chief of Defence Staff Sir Graham Eric Stirrup recently said, people lack respect for the Soldiers who give fight and give their life for the country. So lets take this time to remember what they did for us.

We are fortunate enough at least to a certain degree to express our selves... do what we like and argue over , silly little things like who is better than whom in mindless talent shows that claim to scoop out the X factor in people...

( I think the one that Sirasa... cost the country billions of Taxpayers money and we lost several jets)

Pray remember its them who made all that possible...

We salute you ...

It is a Capital Mistake to Theroise before we have all the facts..

I remember the very day that President Premadasa was killed.. We were at home, not too interested in " May day" and the Photo ops that provide for the basted that ran and continue to run our country. They want to give out the massage... " look, we are among the people... , we represent them...".
(The fact that most the people were paid to be there,
doesn't really go with the theme of representing the workers....but we will put that aside.. for the moment..)
May be he was after a quick flash of public approval .... may he was sadistic basted that killed a lot of people... or may be he was a man who according to some has a very clear idea of where our country should head towards. What ever the truth is.. I salute him as he was our president.. I
dont agree with him. But I respect the law abiding tax payers who voted for him.

Why, you may ask.. a trip down the memory lane to talk about a man who has no bearing on the present situation ( I know,.... that is a questionable.. statement..)
Well.. I will go back to where I started.. I
remember the day he was assassinated. Various reports came in with different accounts... I remember a man pissed drunk rideing motor cycle shouting

"
keselwather Gorakaya Iwari..." ( if you dont understand, dont worry.. its not important..)...

UNP
supporters claimed that he was unharmed.. and some other claimed he was blown bits.. some claimed the white handkerchief he was holding was sign that he felt threatened..

(yes, a voice in my head too.. seem to shout... get to the Fucking Point.. )

Point is this.....

They ( SLAF) have bombed the X-ray camp... which meant to be
Prabakarn's hideout.. Is he dead? According to the Tamils community in "London".. which is quite far way from Killinochi, I might add.. he is alive and well and government is trying to spread rumors..

According to the government.. Prabakarans goose may well be cooked..

Who is right ? When will we know.. ? ....

Answer to that question is simple.. Some one I love and
admire very much, by the name of Sherlock Holmes once said..

It is a Capital Mistake to
theorise before we have all the facts..

We will wait and see..

Suspence is Killing.. Would it be true...

The LTTEin total disarray ordered the closure of all shops in Kilinochchi and maintained radio silence following yesterday’s decapitating air strike on a hideout known as ‘X-ray base’, at Iranamadu, frequented by LTTE leader Prabhakaran around 11.15 yesterday morning.

Although the fate of the Tiger chief was not immediately known, the military was confident that he could have been in the heavily fortified bunker at the time of the raid. "We are awaiting confirmation from our intelligence operatives on the ground," a high ranking military officer told The Island adding that he was almost certain Prabhakaran had been there at that time. "The bunker has been reduced to dust," he claimed, "several LTTEleaders may have bee killed."

He admitted that deadly bunker busters weighing about 1,000 kg each had been used as the SLAF ‘didn’t want to leave anything to chance’.

Migs and Kfirs, on a low flying mission had targeted the base, located East of the Iranamadu Tank in the Kalmadukulama area the SLAF sources said.

Military Intelligence had been watching the LTTE leader’s movements in the Wanni during the last few days. They had reported their findings about his presence in this hideout to the SLAF.

According to Air Force spokesman Wing Commander Andrew Wijesuriya the sorties were carried out on information obtained through real-time air surveillance and ground reconnaissance. He also said that the targeted location had been under reconnaissance for some time. Combat pilots had confirmed that the target was accurately hit, he said.

The Defence Ministry said in a communique that the air raid had been timed for a "special" activity that was going on at the LTTE base.

However, sources refrained from commenting further on the issue. They said the targeted ‘terror hub’ was located in a thick jungle patch, North of the LTTE's runway in Iranamadu. The area has been long demarcated as a ‘high security zone’ out of bounds for civilians.

The SLAF has been continuously supporting the ground troops in their ongoing operations in the North and the Vanni.

On November 26, it was reported that Prabhakaran had received minor injuries in an attack by the SLAF but the LTTE website denied the story.

However, the LTTE leadership was furious that a number of its top leaders, as well as second level local leaders, were also targeted in the combined operations by the armed forces and the police commandos in the recent months. In retaliation they have started attacking civilians in the deep south and other parts of the island.
