The ‘dream pair’. Aarya, who has proved in the past few years that he has it in him to take on any kind of role(s) and do full justice to them, and Anushka, the most tallented actress in Tamil and Telugu film industries at this very moment,so both of them are coming for the first time as a pair.
The film, titled "Irandaam Ulagam", is directed by Selvaraghavan whose latest venture Mayakkam Enna has been earning him rave reviews from the print and television media.Actor Aarya and the tall and slimly beutyAnushka are already being referred to as the ‘dream pair’ by some sections of the media.Ramji, who was Selvaa’s trusted cinematographer in Aayirathil Oruvan and Mayakkam Enna, would be working behind the camera for Irandaam Ulagam too.
The Aarya-Anushka starrer is planned as a short-term production after which Selvaa is likely to plunge deep into the making of the sequel to his Aayirathil Oruvan. The film, seen by many as the Indian version of Indiana Jones, released early last year.Talking about the film, Selvaa says that he wasn't going to reveal much about the film. "My father Kasturi Raja would be producing the film. I'd consider casting Dhanush in the sequel if he is ready to give me call-sheet for six months on the trot," says Selvaa. Considering that their latest 'joint venture' Mayakkam Enna has been doing well, there is every likelihood that Dhanush would be starring in the sequel film!

5 step to fixing bad credit
How i can the proper handling of non-performing loans? This is 5 step to proper fixing of keys non-performing loans, That is - rescheduling, reconditioning, restructuring, and execution.
Rescheduling or re-scheduling rescheduling bank may exercise in the form of an extension of the repayment period, providing a longer grace period, and decreases the amount of installment credit. With this scheduling, I had time to breathe and that sufficient time period in accumulating profits and fix my credit, so they can meet the new schedule is set.
Rescheduling done with certain requirements. For example, my business is still running, before the imposition of interest income is still positive, my inability to carry out the settlement solely because of circumstances beyond the control of my company and I am still concerned plus cooperative acting in good faith.
Reconditioning is intended to improve the condition of the original debtor is still burdened with the weight of credit requirements, and reduced to fit the needs of the debtor. How, by reducing the interest rate, credit from the other party and replace high-interest loans from the bank with low interest, or raise capital if it is still not working.
Equally important, banks and management consulting advice to the debtor company could run better and be able to increase sales, profits and credit completed within a predefined time period.
Restructuring is done by changing the composition of capital to improve the debt to equity ratio (DER), increase the capital (or the bank's participation outside the bank), adds to the credit facility, extending the period of time, push the interest rate, change management (putting the bank staff at a particular position), increasing efficiency, and more.
Well, after the company's good financial health and ability, the bank can sell back the shares held by them to the holders of old shares with a certain premium.
The fourth moment is a combination of 3R. Finally, the fifth is the moment of execution. If all rescue efforts have been tried, but I am still not able to meet its obligations to the bank, then the last way is execution. If you are trying to protect your property from the execution of bank foreclosures, you could consider trying the service credit repair service offered by BestLegalCreditRepair.com. This company could be a solution when your credit becomes bad and beyond help. Do not lose hope for your business and credit.

Mother's Day Musings!
HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY!!
What a fabulous spring morning we have been blessed with in Central Nebraska -- hoping it is the same where you are. This morning I have none of my little chicks in my nest -- #1 son is in Minnesota, #1 daughter is working her every-other-weekend rotation, #2 son is spending the weekend with his girlfriend and her family in another town (yesterday was girlfriend's birthday) and #2 daughter is babysitting (Keller and his parents are back to Boston for another check-up and daughter is staying with baby sister Kora). The two daughters will both make it here for supper -- in the meantime, I have grandbaby here to help me celebrate a lovely Mother's Day morning. He will help me finish my flower pot planting this afternoon.
Graduation season is in full-swing in Nebraska -- CONGRATULATIONS to both the graduates out there and their parents who helped them along the way. Yesterday I was blessed to spend the afternoon and evening with my #2 daughter. She is such a busy bee that it felt like ages since we had spend a large block of time just visiting -- we had about 5 hours of windshield time as we traveled to and from Omaha to attend the graduation reception of one of her best friends, Rachel. It has been such a blessing to see these 2 young women grow up and blossom.
Jay & Rae met when we first moved to Nebraska in 2006 - they were instant friends. Rae was the daughter of our then Pastor. They moved to Omaha about 3 years ago and that hasn't changed a thing in their friendship except they appreciate the time that they have together so much.

GBP's 101 Cozy Casseroles Review & Giveaway -- ONE MORE RECIPE & BONUS!!
Well, I told you that I just could't help myself -- I had to SHARE one last recipe from this super comfort food cookbook! |
| Gooseberry Patch's 101 Cozy Casseroles |
The final recipe I am going to share with you is for Chicken-Broccoli Divan. I didn't have a lot of experience with this dish until a few years ago. When we lived in Minnesota, I spent a lot of time at a local Assisted Living Facility - I would go in and cook for them occasionally - then pretty regularly. One of the friends I met there was Bertha -- she was over 90 years old and a fabulous cook in her day. She was trouble for the other gal who came in to cook and then she stopped coming in all together - Bertha was just in her way and always criticized everything she did - well, Bertha gave me lots of *input* too BUT I enjoyed it and asked her lots of questions and we got along famously - most of the time, lol - once when I asked her what she wanted me to cook, she instantly answered Chicken Divan. I had to hunt down a recipe but it was so worth it to see the look on her face when I served it. I then started making it occasionally for my family. This version is both yummy and super fast to fix. I don't think Miss Bertha would approve of the use of canned soup, lol (she didn't approve of anything coming from a tin can) but it makes a nice sauce. Watching your carbs? Instead of the canned soup melt down a brick of cream cheese and add a splash of cream and chicken base for the flavor of the soup -- then the rest of the sauce ingredients as stated -- both yummy and lower carb. BTW, when I am over 90, I hope to still be quilting daily and giving *trouble* to whomever is doing the cooking for me :)

Gooseberry Patch's The Harvest Table - Breakfast - REVIEW & GIVEAWAY!
Let's go ahead and forget that we are at the end of spring and summer is well on it's way in many parts of the country -- we are going to spend a few days thinking about and cooking for HARVEST!! 
Like many of you, fall and harvest time are my favorite time of year. Part of what makes it a favorite for me is the wonderful, comforting foods of the season.

| Gooseberry Patch's The Harvest Table |
When I recieved this book in the mail, I was thrilled to see some of my friends have recipes included (and I have 3 of my own recipes in there too). The chapters capture the season wonderfully - Hearty Autumn Brunch, Soup Supper with Friends, Simple Harvest Supper, Thanksgiving with All The Trimmings, Festive Fall Flavors and Save Room for Dessert. It was very hard to decide which recipes to include in my review -- I figured I'd go ahead and plan a day's menu - review and share recipes for Breakfast, Dinner (the noon-time meal) and Supper planned and made with the harvesters in mind.
The quentissential farm breakfast is bacon and eggs. My friend Tina's (from Gramma's In The Kitchen) recipe is wonderful and easily will feed an army of harvesters (or kids). I served this with warm flour tortillas to scoop this yummy, cheesy bacon and egg mixture into and lots of hot sauce for adding a spicy edge. YUM!!

(Printable Version)
1 cup quick rolled oats
1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
1 cup sliced almonds
1/2 cup chopped walnuts
1/2 cup chopped pecans
1/2 cup wheat germ
1/4 cup vegetable oil
1/2 cup real maple syrup
3/4 cup light-brown sugar, lightly packed
1 cup raisins
In a large bowl, combine both types of oats, almonds, walnuts, pecans and the wheat germ. Set aside. In a 12-inch skillet, place oil, maple syrup and brown sugar. Place pan over medium heat and stir constantly until the sugar is melted and the mixture just begins to bubble, about 3 minutes. Add the oat mixture and stir well to completely coat with the syrup mixture. Reduce the heat to medium-low. Continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until granola begins to sizzle and toast, about 3 to 4 minutes. Be careful not to burn it. Remove the skillet from the heat and stir in the raisins. Allow to cool for 10 minutes. Transfer the granola into a sturdy container with a tight-fitting lid. Serve immediately or let rest until cool enough to cover and store. Will keep for up to 2 weeks. Makes about 7 cups.
No breakfast is complete without something yummy from the oven -- that would be my friend Nancy's Cranberry-Pumpkin Muffins. This recipe alone is the BEST reason to stock up on fresh cranberries and pop them into the freezer when in season!

Gooseberry Patch's The Harvest Table - Dinner - REVIEW & GIVEAWAY!
Now that the harvesters have had a hearty breakfast and put in a morning of hard work, they'd be looking forward to a midday meal to fuel them for several more hours work. Here in farm country that midday meal is referred to as DINNER. For dinner there is going to be Thyme Pork Chops, Herbed Potato Gratin and Feta Cheese Tossed Salad. To round the meal out, homemade rolls and LOTS of iced tea, lemonade and HOT coffee. I made this meal for my family and everyone enjoyed it very much -- especially the potatoes. I even made a low-carb version for myself and was bowled over by how yummy they were. I think this will be my go-to gratin recipe from here on out :) |

The Herb Potato Gratin was FABULOUS and so very simple to make. The addition of the garlic & herb soft cheese resulted in a flavor that made this dish seem more elegant and fussy than it actually was - in other words, fancy enough for company - easy enough for everyday -- my kind of recipe. To make this low-carb, I followed the recipe exactly with the exception of swapping the potatoes for a head of cauliflower -- EXCELLENT!!

Brown Rice with Golden Raisins, Walnuts, and Feta
We have made this brown rice recipe a couple times now in the last couple weeks. It is really yummy! I modified it slightly from Fine Cooking here. I like to buy the frozen rice bags that you can throw in the microwave for 3 minutes and you've got your rice cooked! This is a great recipe to make plain brown rice a little more interesting. 
Ingredients:-1 bag frozen brown rice
-2-3 tablespoons olive oil
-1/2 small yellow onion, diced
-1/4 cup walnuts, toasted and finely chopped
-3 tablespoons golden raisins
-2 tablespoons fresh flat-leaf parsley, chopped
-salt and pepper
-3 tablespoons feta cheese, crumbled
First toast the walnuts in a skillet over medium heat. Finely chop and set aside. Next heat the olive oil in the skillet over medium high heat. Add the onion and saute until tender.
Meanwhile, place the rasins in a small pot with a steamer basket and small amount of water. Bring water to boil and lower to simmer for 6-7 minutes.
Place you frozen bag of rice in the microwave and cook according to packaging. Usually 3-4 minutes. Once rice is cooked pour rice into the skillet with the onion. Stir and cook for 3-5 minutes to heat through. Add the steamed raisins, toasted walnuts, fresh parsley, and salt and pepper. Toss in skillet.
Serve rice warm and top with crumbled feta cheese on each serving.
