Want to start a new segment on my food blog (http://www.caribbeanpot.com) featuring a monthly drink. I'm not much of a drinker, so I need some help. Please share any drink mix known locally, if you don't mind. So if the drink have a name and if you can say what goes into it. Must be something local to the Caribbean.

Please and thanks.

I'll give you guys credit when I make the post on the site.

eg. Nutrament and brandy, with a dash of bitter .. don't know the name, but this should give you an idea of what I'm looking for.

Jokes / Senior Center
« on: March 29, 2011, 07:47:57 AM »



It was entertainment night at the Senior Center .

Claude the hypnotist exclaimed, "I'm here to put you into a trance. I intend to hypnotize each and every member of the audience."

The excitement was almost electric as Claude withdrew a beautiful, antique pocket watch from his coat. "I want you each to keep your eye on this antique watch. It's a very special watch. It's been in my family for six generations."

He began to swing the watch gently back and forth while quietly chanting, "Watch the watch, watch the watch, watch the watch..."

The crowd became mesmerized as the watch swayed back and forth, light gleaming off its polished surface. Hundreds of pairs eyes followed the swaying watch.

Then, suddenly, the watch slipped from the hypnotist's fingers and fell to the floor, breaking into a hundred pieces.

"SHIT!" said the Hypnotist.

It took three days to clean up the Senior Center .

Claude was never invited back to entertain.

Jokes / Three mice
« on: March 23, 2011, 12:26:51 PM »
Three mice are sitting in a bar in a pretty rough neighborhood late at night trying to impress each other about how tough they are. The first mouse slams a shot of scotch, and pounds the shot glass to the bar, turns to the second mouse and says: "When I see a mousetrap, I get on it, lie on my back, and set it off with my foot. When the bar comes down, I catch it in my teeth, and then bench press it 100 times."
The second mouse orders up two shots of tequila. He grabs one in each paw, slams the shots, and pounds the glasses to the bar. He turns to the other mice and replies: "Yeah, well when I see rat poison, I collect as much as I can and take it home. In the morning, I grind it up into a powder and put it in my coffee so I get a good buzz going for the rest of the day."
The first mouse and the second mouse then turn to the third mouse. The third mouse lets out a long sigh and says to the first two, "I don't have time for this bullshit. I gotta go home and f**k the cat."

General Discussion / Need help with cell phone.
« on: February 19, 2011, 06:08:50 PM »
Ladies and gents, it seems that I now have to finally get a cell phone. Use to have a BB that I can't say is ours/mine any more. Can you suggest a phone which will allow me to do the following?

- BBM was sweet, since I could chat with people in T&T for free basically.
- want one with good video quality
- apps (tons of free or cool apps)
- operating system that's user friendly
- not overly expensive
- good picture quality
- I work online, so something which will allow me to use said phone to browse and do work seamlessly in the event I have too.

Please do share any other reasons for your recommendations. I've never been a cell phone type of person, as I hated people being able to contact me when I'm away from my office. But I have no choice now as I have to keep in contact with my girls.

Thx.

p.s. one that does not chew up a lot of bandwidth.

Football / Gattuso's antics
« on: February 15, 2011, 03:51:34 PM »
Watching the ass choke an assistant coach on the side lines, I have to ask... how much of what this man brings to the table is good. yes, he brings "fight" and his team does feed off this. But looking at today's game I say he gets away with too much and could be a real liability.

Thoughts?

Jokes / Out Of The Closet
« on: January 25, 2011, 07:19:46 AM »
A gay man, finally deciding he could no longer hide his sexuality from his parents, went over to their house, and found his mother in the kitchen cooking dinner. He sat down at the kitchen table, let out a big sigh, and said, "Mom, I have something to tell you, I'm gay." His mother made no reply or gave any response, and the guy was about to repeat it to make sure she'd heard him, when she turned away from the pot she was stirring and said calmly, "You're gay, doesn't that mean you have oral sex with other men?" The guy said nervously, "Uh, yeah, Mom, that's right." His mother went back to stirring the pot, then suddenly whirled around and WHACKED him over the head with her spoon and said, "Don't you EVER complain about the taste of my cooking again!"

Bert always wanted a pair of authentic cowboy boots, so, seeing Some on sale, he bought them and wore them home.
Walking proudly, he sauntered into the kitchen and said to his wife, "Notice anything different about me?"
Margaret looked him over. "Nope."
Frustrated, Bert stormed off into the bathroom, undressed and walked back into The kitchen completely naked except for the boots.
Again he asked Margaret, a little louder this time, "Notice anything Different NOW?"
Margaret looked up and said in her best deadpan, "Bert, what's different?
It's hanging down today, it was hanging down yesterday, it'll be hanging down Again tomorrow."
Furious, Bert yelled, "AND DO YOU KNOW WHY IT'S HANGING DOWN,MARGARET?"
"Nope. Not a clue", she replied.
"IT'S HANGING DOWN, BECAUSE IT'S LOOKING AT MY NEW BOOTS!!!!"

Without missing a beat Margaret replied, "Shoulda bought a hat, Bert. Shoulda bought a hat."

Football / Honour of hosting the 2018 and 2022 World Cups.
« on: December 01, 2010, 07:59:33 AM »
Where would you like to see the world cup next?

World Cup D-Day: The contenders


The great and good of football, or what passes for such a category at present, has assembled in Zurich to decide which countries will be bestowed with the honour of hosting the 2018 and 2022 World Cups.

After months of fierce campaigning - as well as a depressing portion of revelations, allegations, suspensions and accusations - 22 members of FIFA's executive committee will clamber into their seats and watch final candidacy presentations from the nine contenders on Wednesday ad Thursday.

But which countries are leading the race and which are lagging behind ahead of the all-important vote? ESPNsoccernet profiles the bids ahead of FIFA's decision day.

England (2018)

For: As Sepp Blatter himself has stated, "England can organise the World Cup tomorrow", boasting as it does a collection of world-class stadia and the necessary infrastructure to deliver a major tournament. England has also scored high in economic terms, with impressive revenue projections that would bode well for FIFA's balance sheet, and there are absolutely no fears over demands on transport and technology. Simply put: England is a safe choice, and by dispatching its big guns - David Cameron, Prince William and David Beckham - to Zurich, the bid team will hope to convince the exco members to choose the obvious option.

Against: Investigations from England's prying media have led to the suspension of two FIFA exco members and levelled serious allegations against a further four men who will vote in Zurich. Both FIFA and England's bid team have criticised the investigations by the Sunday Times and Panorama and, in FIFA's secretive cloisters, such intrusiveness will not play well. England also fails to fulfil the 'legacy' aspect of FIFA's requirements as its domestic football is already a shiny, commercially-successful product.

Chances: Ever-decreasing. Exposes by the British media have caused resentment amongst FIFA exco members and if England hoped it could count on the three votes controlled by CONCACAF president Jack Warner, it may have to think again following fresh allegations levelled in his direction by the BBC. England was also hoping to court votes from Africa, but FIFA vice-president Issa Hayatou of Cameroon was fingered in the Panorama probe. England is very much an "underdog", according to bid chief Andy Anson.

Netherlands/Belgium(2018)

For: Ambassador Ruud Gullit says the joint bid is presenting itself as the environmentally-friendly choice and that a tournament in Netherlands/Belgium would be "the greenest World Cup ever." The bid, which is strong on overall infrastructure, has also not been tainted by any accusations of corruption and is attempting to depict itself as the 'clean' choice for an organisation beset by allegations. Having never hosted a World Cup, the countries that gave the tournament Johan Cruyff and Enzo Scifo also present a legacy opportunity for FIFA, with Blatter describing it as a "small but very pleasant" option.

Against: Netherlands/Belgium has been graded a medium legal risk, while all other European bids have been graded as low, due to a lack of "government guarantees". FIFA is also known to favour a single host country where possible, although this has seemingly not prevented Spain/Portugal from becoming a strong option. The bid has struggled to depict itself as anything other than a rank outsider.

Chances: Slim to none. Netherlands/Belgium is the 33/1 outsider and is struggling to secure a powerbase of votes. Hopes exist that members from Europe and Africa could be swayed, but FIFA is about as likely to announce a new era of transparency as give the World Cup to the Low Countries.

Russia (2018)

For: Russia's powerful state can deliver all of FIFA's expectations in terms of government guarantees. With formidable political support, there are no budgetary concerns and Russia's bid has worked hard to make friends and influence people. Amongst all the 2018 bids, Russia offers the greatest opportunity for a lasting legacy and sending the World Cup east would represent a new frontier being breached for FIFA - something that appeals greatly to the organisation. Blatter has said the Russian bid is "remarkable" and that "Russia has big plans to expand".

Against: FIFA's inspectors graded the bid as a medium operational risk as extensive investment is still needed in infrastructure, while the lengthy distances between host cities has seen air transport rated as a high risk. Russia's bid has also been dogged by spats with England's, while it has struggled to shake off accusations that racism remains a residual problem amongst Russian fans, especially following the banner from Lokomotiv Moscow supporters that abused Peter Odemwingie following his move to West Brom. As the ballot day nears, it is also reported that Prime Minister Vladimir Putin will not travel to Zurich, which may weaken the bid's last-gasp lobbying.

Chances: Currently the favourite to win FIFA's nomination, the Russian bid has been working hard to court bids from across the globe and could have support in key areas. It is reported that Germany's influential exco representative, Franz Beckenbauer, has pledged his vote to the Russian team while Asia could provide a strong source of backing, meaning Russia could already have as many as eight votes in the bag.

Spain/Portugal (2018)

For: As home to the reigning world and European champions, and with Barcelona and Real Madrid dominating debate at club level, Spain is currently the primary force in football culture. As federation sporting director Fernando Hierro put it: "Being world champions could help [FIFA] to give us the World Cup." There is no question that the Spain/Portugal bid fulfils the requirements laid down by FIFA as its technical report was glowing, equalling England's, while existing infrastructure and impressive transport links are also attractive. Furthermore, a surfeit of hotels in a peninsula that is a favourite holiday destination means Spain/Portugal is another low risk option.

Against: A worrying passage in FIFA's report read: "A clear operational concept has not been specified for safety and security.'' Spain/Portugal also suffers from being a joint bid - though chief executive Miguel Angel Lopez says "the two cultures are in fact siblings" - and with La Liga preeminent at present and Portugal hosting Euro 2004, it is hard to make the case for a lasting legacy. The bid was beset by allegations of collusion with Qatar's 2022 bid, while serious economic problems in the two countries could also be cause for concern. The campaign waged by the bid has been strangely low-key compared to its rivals.

Chances: Strong. Though it is third favourite at present with the bookmakers, as Lopez put it, "all the fish are sold", and Spain/Portugal could be counting on as many as eight votes already. It is a strong likelihood that the three South American votes will be cast in their favour while Qatar's Asian Football Confederation president Mohamed Bin Hammam was recently forced to deny quotes attributed to him in which he said that he would back Iberia. Support could also come from South Korea and Turkey.

Australia (2022)


For: Awarding the tournament to Australia would see the World Cup venture into Oceania for the first time, fulfilling legacy requirements perfectly in a country that has demonstrated a real passion for sport. The Sydney Olympics in 2000 also proved Australia is capable of organising a major sporting event and, in terms of stadia, transport infrastructure and security, the country is well placed. The bid team is hoping to woo FIFA voters by utilising the unique skills of supermodel Elle Macpherson in its presentation in Zurich on Wednesday and has not been tainted by the allegations enveloping FIFA in recent months.

Against: Geography. Australia's time zone means that income from European and American TV could be significantly reduced, which is a concern for FIFA, while the scale of the country could also pose problems in terms of travel. Oceania's vote in Zurich has also been removed following the suspension of Tahiti's Reynald Temarii due to allegations of cash-for-votes in the Sunday Times, which deprives Australia of support.

Chances: Australia will hope to court votes from Europe and Africa and although the bid team may not boast the initial level of support enjoyed by the US or Qatar, they could pick up votes if they make it through the first round. Germany's Franz Beckenbauer is a supporter and has said the country has a "good chance" to win the bid.

Japan (2022)

For: The 2002 World Cup. In conjunction with South Korea, Japan boasted wonderful stadia, immaculate infrastructure and a welcoming and friendly attitude that helped make the tournament a great success. Japan has also made much of their innovative plans to screen games in 3D, utilise digital tickets and allow fans to explore stadiums using hand-held GPS devices.

Against: The 2002 World Cup. Being granted the honour of being a host nation so recently naturally works against the Japanese bid, as does their time zone situation, which risks a drop in revenue from European and American markets. FIFA has also identified a lack of governmental support and Japan Football Association president Junji Ogura said of the technical report: "I was hoping they would rate our proposal more than they did. We had much higher expectations."

Chances: Not good. Currently joint 20/1 outsiders alongside South Korea, Japan appears to lack political will from within its own borders and support from FIFA members. They will be scrabbling for votes across the board, and are likely to struggle, though Ogura's place on the exco gives them one vote at least.

Qatar (2022)


For: In the gas-rich country, money is no object and this has been reflected in an impressive campaign that has boasted of the development of state-of-the-art stadia and has pulled in stellar support from the likes of Barcelona coach Pep Guardiola and legendary Frenchman Zinedine Zidane. Indeed, it is said that a high-profile television campaign involving the former Real Madrid star is influencing perspectives. Qatar is also nicely placed for global television revenue and taking the World Cup to the Middle East for the first time would be a real source of pride for FIFA, and provide a genuine legacy.

Against: FIFA says Qatar's punishing summer heat, with temperatures possibly reaching 50 degrees Celsius, could be a "potential health risk for players, officials, the FIFA family and spectators''. FIFA is also concerned that ten of the 12 stadia will be located in a cluster with a radius of 25-30 km. Qatar also claims it has been the victim of "unethical resistance" and a dirty tricks campaign, as allegations of collusion with Spain/Portugal were unproven.

Chances: Very good. Qatar is currently the favourite to secure the 2022 World Cup and it is expected that it will secure support from Spain, as well as votes from Africa, South America and Asia. Julio Grondona, head of the Argentinean FA, is known to be a supporter and FIFA could well agree with Zidane's belief that "we had the 2010 World Cup in Africa and now it is time for the Middle East."

South Korea (2022)

For: Like Japan, the 2002 co-host is well placed in terms of stadia and infrastructure , as well as security and technology, so there are few fears on the organisational front. Amongst the 2022 contenders, South Korean Prime Minister Kim Hwang-sik will be the only national leader to take part in his country's presentation in Zurich and FIFA vice-president Chung Mong-joon is an influential figure in FIFA's corridors of power. Furthermore, recent military clashes with neighbour North Korea - which could host some games under the terms of the bid - "heightens the need for peace on the peninsula and backs up the nation's campaign to host the event", according to a highly pragmatic bid official.

Against: Just like Japan, the 2002 tournament is still fresh in the mind, while awkward broadcast times will impact on viewing figures in key markets. Despite optimism from bid officials, tensions in the region may not reflect favourably on a bid that hopes to stage games in North Korea.

Chances: Not good. The South Korean bid team needs a minor miracle to prevail in Thursday's vote and, despite Chung's influence within FIFA, it is struggling to win the necessary support.

United States (2022)

For: The cornerstone of the US bid is the financial benefit it will bring FIFA. Bloomberg recently reported that only the England and US bids would be able to satisfy FIFA's revenue targets and it has been suggested that hosting the World Cup would contribute as much as $5 billion to the country's economy. The last time the tournament was hosted in the States, a record 3.6 million spectators attended matches, and the legacy from that tournament (along with the popularity of sport in the country) means there are few reservations over infrastructure or organisation. Expanding the US market and providing a lasting legacy will also be very attractive to FIFA.

Against: USA's bid has been graded as a medium legal risk due to a lack of government guarantees. FIFA requires pliability from foreign governments and the US may not oblige to the full extent. US bid executive director David Downs insists: "We have been in conversations with FIFA about this and they are comfortable with the situation." The distance between venues may also be an issue.

Chances: Outsiders. The US bid sits behind Qatar and Australia approaching ballot day and though it can count on the support of CONCACAF's three votes, it has work to do in Europe, South America and Africa.

Toddler beaten to death by relative Published: 22 Oct 2010

Source: http://guardian.co.tt/news/crime/2010/10/22/toddler-beaten-death-relative

A two-year-old child
was battered to death by a relative in what police said was a domestic squabble at the family’s home in Aranguez. Etean Smith was found dead yesterday, after the relative and the child’s mother Davikarani Roopwa had a heated argument on Wednesday night. Roopwa, who was also badly beaten, was up to late yesterday hospitalised, as Homicide Bureau officers questioned a 20-year-old suspect. The incident happened at Freddy Street, Aranguez. Police said that during the row on Wednesday night, Roopwa, while being beaten, ran for her life and sought refuge at a neighbour’s house. Believing baby Etean would not be hurt, Roopwa left him at the house with the relative, according to the police.

Investigators said Roopwa returned home around 9 am yesterday, and noticed her son motionless. She called the EHS who, along with the police, responded. Up to last night, Roopwa was at the Eric Williams Medical Sciences Complex, receiving medical attention. The child’s father burst into tears as he arrived at the Aranguez house yesterday, where relatives were preparing to keep a wake. In a brief interview, he said: “He killed my child and I would like to see justice...The law will take its toll. “I asked to keep him (Etean) many times,” the tearful father said. Smith said he was with some friends when his brother called him and said something was wrong with the child. “I went to the house and saw the ambulance there...I saw my baby’s body black and blue,” he said.

“They (EHS personnel) told me that I should not touch him because he was dead. I could not take that...I dropped down one time and cry.”
Smith said he tried to visit his son several times, but was turned away. He said Etean loved to play and watch television. Roopwa’s former landlord said the suspect had physically assaulted Roopwa several times. “I had to ask them to leave my place...He would beat her one week, and then the next,” the landlord said. “I went to talk to him (the relative) about it and he jumped to beat me and said I was minding his business. “Sometimes late at night you would hear the baby just cry out.” Detectives said the baby’s body bore several marks of violence. An autopsy would be done today at the Forensic Science Centre, Federation Park.

General Discussion / Comment section filled with hate!
« on: August 30, 2010, 06:39:42 AM »
Anyone else notice how much hate is now being published in the comments section of the Express and Guardian? No matter the topic there's always comments about race, packed with hate and childish dialog. I'm all for freedom of the press and I'm sure having the discussions contributes to the article, but I feel some sort of moderation is necessary by the Guardian and Express.

I'm ashamed!

Jokes / a Chinese, a Jamaican, and a Trinidadian.
« on: June 17, 2010, 05:26:49 PM »

Three men were sentenced to die – a Chinese, a Jamaican, and a Trinidadian. On the day they were sentenced to hang, the priest asked each man – “what’s your last wish?” The Chinese said “Give me a moo goo gai pan.” After he ate the meal, they hung him. The Jamaican was next. He said “give me some ackee, saltfish and jerk chicken.” After he ate his meal, they hung him too. The Trinidadian then gave his last wish. He said: “Well, its a very long time that I haven’t sucked a mango.” The priest replied: “Sorry, its not mango season.” The Trini replied: Well, I will wait.”
