The word “pirog" (pie) derives from the old Russian word "pir" (feast), which suggests that every important meal in Russia traditionally involved pies. Do you want to surprise your guests with a unique Russian dish? It's easy as pie. Vekoshniki is an old name for pies made from leftovers. Source: Russkaya Semyorka Vekoshniki This is an old name for pies made from leftovers. If there was some fish or meat left from the previous night's dinner (they used to be called vekosh), which no longer looked very presentable but which it would have been a shame to throw out, a prudent housewife would make some dough, stuff it with all the leftovers, put it all in the ...

HANGZHOU, Nov. 20 (Xinhua) -- In Chinese language, most farmers go "down" to the field to harvest crops, but one farmer from an eastern village in China goes "up" to the roof to reap rice. Peng Qiugen, a "landless" farmer who transferred his land to a gardening company seven years ago, just harvested over 100 kg of rough rice on his 120-square-meter rooftop this week. "My greatest wish is to save more land for China by promoting rooftop farming to more households," Peng told Xinhua. He calculated that a roof as large as his, if used for growing vegetables, can meet the daily demands of 20 people. In Peng's village, Qilin in east China's ...

nbcnew . Gas-Loving Spiders Cause Mazda Car RecallFor the second time in three years, Mazda Motor Corp has issued a recall for Mazda6 sedans in North America because of a spider that likes the smell of gasoline and weaves a web that blocks a vent in the engine. Mazda told U.S. regulators that it is recalling 42,000 sedans with 2.5-liter engines from model years 2010 to 2012 in the United States. Mazda officials were not immediately available to report recalls outside of the United States. Three years ago, Mazda recalled about 65,000 Mazda6 sedans in North America from model years 2009 and 2010, also because of spider webs blocking evaporative canister vent lines. The same issue is ...
Crazy Piers Morgan: Fort Hood shooter ‘WAS a good guy’ until he got a gun; Katie Pavlich shreds

Piers Morgan ✔ @piersmorgan 'If only there'd been a good guy with a gun...' - such crap. This #FortHood soldier/shooter WAS a good guy. Until he turned bad, with a gun. Tara @goog927 Follow @piersmorgan my god, you're a clown So. Much. Stupid. In spite of the gun rules in place at Fort Hood, which should have made the area a gun control utopia “Musket” could be proud of, Morgan still predictably insisted on blaming the gun. There are truly no words to counter the foolishness and abject idiocy spouted by Piers Morgan. However, Katie Pavlich, to her great credit, gave it a try anyway: Piers Morgan ✔ @piersmorgan 'If only there'd been a ...
I’m a Christian and I think ‘Noah’ deserves a four star review* (the best and funniest review I have seen of this pos movie)

On Friday, my wife and I had a very rare date night. Naturally, we decided to spend it being pummeled by the blaring condescension of the most insipid, absurd, unimaginative, clumsily contrived piece of anti-Christian filmmaking to come along since, well, probably just last week. In fact, if I learned anything from Noah, it’s this: despite popular perception, you can often judge a book by its cover. Also, giant deformed rock monsters make for awkward supporting characters. We’ll meditate on that second item in a moment, but it’s the first point that should be especially emphasized. Christians: you’ll hear people insist that you can’t criticize the movie until ...
NSA Has An Advice Columnist. (Seriously?)

The NSA Has An Advice Columnist. (Seriously?) What if the National Security Agency had its own advice columnist? What would the eavesdroppers ask about? You don’t need to guess. An NSA official, writing under the pen name “Zelda,” has actually served at the agency as a Dear Abby for spies. Her “Ask Zelda!” columns, distributed on the agency’s intranet and accessible only to those with the proper security clearance, are among the documents leaked by NSA whistleblower Edward Snowden. The columns are often amusing – topics include co-workers falling asleep on the job, sodas being stolen from shared fridges, supervisors not responding to emails, and ...

Fukushima Radiation & UFO Anomalies: On Thursday's show, Earthfiles investigative reporter Linda Moulton Howe presented a two-part report about possible Fukushima radiation poisoning in Japanese children and sailors in the U.S. Navy, and also detailed sightings of triangular craft and fiery discs in multiple U.S. locations. Fukushima's TEPCO announced that radiation levels in wastewater from the three nuclear power reactors that melted down after the March 11, 2011, earthquake and tsunami catastrophe have been "significantly undercounted," and now medical authorities are reporting a spike in the number of thyroid cancers being detected in Japanese children. ...

I was in the kitchen slicing sweet peppers and listening to the radio when a voice from Caracas, speaking clearly and in perfect English, made me stop the knife in mid-air and forget about dinner for a while. In a country with the largest oil reserves in the world, this mother of three was telling the BBC’s James Menendez that she sometimes has to visit seven or eight supermarkets to track down the food she needs for her family and, even when she finds what she was looking for, she has to stand in long line for hours. Competition is fierce, and products are so scarce. Right now, chicken and eggs are a problem, she said. You can’t find them. If you find deodorant or toilet paper, ...

From 1666 until his death in 1675, French Jesuit priest Jacques Marquette, better known from our grade school history books as “Pere Marquette,” ministered to natives around the western Great Lakes in the part of the new world then called “New France.” Members of the local Illinois tribe told the French of a large river that flowed south and, hoping it would prove to be a direct route to the Pacific Ocean, authorities sent an expedition under Louis Joliet to explore the watery highway. Marquette, who spoke several native languages, joined the party as chaplain and translator. “Horns on their heads” Leaving early in 1673, Joliet’s party canoed down Lake ...
