Sounds truly awful in English, the Maori version is a little better sounding but still bad.

My pavlova source
and for those of us not inclined to checking out the site heres the quote..
and yeah there are some guys in NZ and Aust that are at least comparable to those 2 numbskullsQuote:I come not to raise the pavlova issue again but to bury it. This, I believe, should be the final word on the origins of the pav and comes from the following highly authoritative AUSTRALIAN reference: M.Symons, "One continuous picnic: a history of eating in Australia", Duck Press, Adelaide, 1982. There's a long section on the Pav, its recipe and its origins but I'll excerpt the most important bits:"A symphony of silence! So Pavlova has been described," began the report in the West Australian on Tuesday, July 9, 1929. "But who, seeing the famous ballerina for the first time as she stood on the deck... at Fremantle yesterday, could apply the description? It was Babel itself!" The reporter managed to share her cab into Perth... "They are funny, these Australians," she pronounced in the cab... The next night she gave the first of 11 evening... performances... "Exquisite Pavlova!..." began the West Australian. It was her only Perth season, on her second Australian tour. She died two years later. Yet her memory survived at her hotel, the Esplanade, because there six years later the chef whipped up the meringue and cream cake which perpetuates her name....
"In 1934, Mrs Elizabeth Paxton succeeded her husband as licensee of the Esplanade and under her invigorated guidance the afternoon teas became very desirable occasions.... One day she called in her manager... and they approached their chef [bert Sachse] to devise something special... Bert Sachse experimented for a month.... According to Paxton family tradition, the pavlova was named at a meeting at which Sachse presented the now familiar cake. The family say that either the licensee...or the manager...(as Sachse also said) remarked, "It is as light as Pavlova".
[The author then explains how he proceeded to research the NZ claim.] "To help check for me, librarians of the National Library of New Zealand kindly consulted their collection of cookery books. In fact, they found a recipe for "Pavlova cakes" ... published in 1929. The ingredients were roughly those of a pavlova, but it was not the pavlova as we know it, because the mixture was baked into three dozen little meringues. It seems a coincidence that the NZ cook was impressed by the ballerina's lightness and whiteness.
"But there is more to the NZ claim than this. Even earlier, in "Terrace Tested Recipes", collected by the ladies of Terrace Congregational Church, the second edition published in Wellington in 1927, there was a recipe submitted by a Mrs. McRae for Meringue Cake. [He then describes the recipe]. From similar recipes published in 1933 and 1934, I think it is fair to say that the Meringue Cake was common in NZ in the early 1930s. Its form varied, but it was to all intents and purposes what we know as a "Pavlova", sometimes even complete with passionfruit on top.
"Bert Sachse said in a magazine interview in 1973 that he sought to improve the Meringue Cake. There was a prize-winning recipe for Meringue Cake in the "Women's Mirror" on April 2, 1935. It contained vinegar, but no cornflour and was of two parts filled with whipped cream. The recipe was contributed by "Rewa", who happened to be of Rongotai, NZ. If Sachse read the "Women's Mirror" and other magazines for ideas, as his widow told me, he might have seen this recipe. We can concede that New Zealanders discovered the secret delights of the large meringue with the "marshmallow centre", the heart of the pavlova. But it seems reasonable to assume that someone in Perth attached the name of the ballerina...

Doh!!! I forgot to add this link
might help you and any other budding
grower.oh and a quote from another website
So it seems you can indeed trim back the roots...please disregard my previous emailQuote:Maintaining a Potted Rosemary
Move your potted rosemary back outdoors once all danger of frost has past.
As with most potted plants, the soil in your rosemary pot will degenerate through watering and root growth. Repot at least once a year. Spring is a good time to repot your rosemary, but it should be fine no matter what time of year you get to it.
When the rosemary plant puts out considerable growth or looks like it just can't get enough water, it has outgrown its pot and needs to be transplanted into a larger one. If you want to maintain the size of your rosemary plant, root prune it by slicing off a couple of inches of the roots from the bottom and sides of the root ball and replanting in the same pot. Be sure to trim some of the top at the same time, to lessen the work load of the roots and the stress placed upon the trimmed plant. Then allow your repotted plant some time to regroup. It should reward you with many more seasons of snippings.
Great rosemary choices for growing and cooking.

yeah I wouldnt trim the roots...I was thinking more like trimming the above ground pieces...
-
take care of yourself Im Sexy. Being sick is always terrible.
Im lucky in the fact I rarely catch colds or flus. My co-workers arent so lucky however
-
Im pretty sure you can cut back a rosemary bush quite a lot and it will grow back thick and strong...so prune away
-
thats too bad Im Sexy. What you need is a nice guy to take care of you. Im available tomorrow
-
yeah the kissing thing is a bit strange I reckon, but I have no problem with hugging family, friends and even the taxi driver (if Ive imbibed too much
). You can pretty much say Im a hug slut -
So what was the outcome of the confrontation O11? did they pay up?

For me to compare the tragedy in Pakistan to the Indo tsunami and the recent hurricanes in The USA just by judging the responses on this forum? When the previously mentioned disasters occurred they had separate threads with people expressing shock, sympathy and blame, often degenerating to finger pointing and heated discussions.
But this tragedy in Pakistan, which has claimed over 13,000 lives at last count, has neither it own thread and barely a mention in another. Are we becoming blase about such things or do we just dont care so much about the people in Pakistan?
I sure hope we havent.

steamed bun things filled with pizza sauce and cheese....delicious
-
yeah I do like the sound of the 19inch screen and they are a pleasure to work on..or play games on too
-
You are right scouser, but many peope make that mistake of only buying a basic pc for websurfing and basic stuff, then later when they want to try other things that require more power, they find they cant do them. Thus requiring an expensive upgrade/replacement.
-
Honestly dude it sounds like its really bugging you. Left to fester it could become a major problem. Have a talk with the girl and see what you can come up with. If that doesnt work then perhaps Splitsville is where you should head
-
yeah love that pizzaman. had my first one of the year 2 weeks ago...
-
the problem with that configuration is that its the bare minimum needed to run pretty much any software developed in the past 2/3 years. Windows XP minimum to run is 512mb. Sure it can be run with less but you're looking at slow slow operating speeds. And who wants that? And you can forget about doing more than one thing at a time (such as listening to mp3s and using word for example. Perhaps Im being harsh but generally I steer clear of companies like Dell that use proprietary parts that can only be replaced by "approved" Dell technicians, costing an arm and a leg in the process
