 rhubarb muffin This is an adaption of Elana’s Pantry Almond Flour Muffins recipe. The picture’s not much to go by, but it tastes great. Ingredients - 400g chopped rhubarb
- 100g dark brown muscovado sugar
- 5 eggs separated
- 3/4 tsp baking soda
- 1.5 tsp cider vinegar (optional, as I forgot to put it in mine)
Optional Extra ingredients - 250g mascarpone

Method - Heat the oven to 180deg Celcius (mines a fan oven)
- Mix the rhubarb and sugar together and place in the oven for 20 minutes. (stir the rhubarb after 10 minutes)
- Mix Almond flour, baking soda and egg yolks.
- Whisk the egg whites until slightly stiff, not merengue stiff. Then stir into the almond flour mix.
- Once the rhubarb’s tender stir into the mixture.
- Pour into paper lined muffin tin. Sprinkle some sugar over the top (optional)

- Enjoy
Dyma ni eto. Ar ôl cael ymateb positif at ail ddyluniad clawr Golwg wythnos diwethaf penderfynais edrych ar cylchgrawn arall sydd ddim wir yn fy nenu i mewn pan welai ar silff mewn siop, Cylchgrawn Barn.
Nadolig diwethaf fe ail lansiwyd cylchgrawn Barn yn ei newydd wedd, siom fawr i mi oedd yr ail ddyluniad ar y cyfan, mi roedd na rhai rhannau o fewn y cylchgrawn oedd yn gweithio ond ar y cyfan oedd yn edrych fel ei fod wedi cael ei daflu at ei gilydd yn ddi-drefn (os oes gennoch copi edrychwch ar y lluniau yn y cynnwys a tudalen Gwyn Llewelyn).
Ar tudalen erthygl Rhian Staples mae na lun da iawn ohoni sydd llawer gell na'r un sydd ar y clawr, hwnnw oeddwn eisiau ar clawr fy fersiwn i. Felly cysylltais a'r ffotograffydd Emyr Young drwy ei safle we www.emyryoung.co.uk (mae rhaid i chi edrych ar ei bortffolio, mae wir yn ffotograffydd gwych). Mi roedd Emyr yn ddigon caredig i yrru y llun draw ata i a dwi wir yn falch ei fod wedi neud, mae cael llun da sy'n denu y llygaid wir yn gwneud wahaniaeth i sut mae clawr cylchgrawn yn edrych (duw a wyr pam eu bod nhw heb defnyddio y llun yma), ewch i edrych ar cylchgronau Saesneg a'i gymharu efo'r rhai Cymraeg a mae'n amlwg fod y cylchgronau Saesneg yn deall hyn a nid yw'r rhai Cymraeg. Felly dyma y clawr
Eto fel fy nyluniad Golwg rwyf wedi ei gadw yn syml. Rwyf wedi creu logo newydd (er ni fedrwch alw strapline mewn Mavern Pro ar top y cylchgrawn yn fawr o logo), mae ychydig fel yr Economist ond nid yw huna yn ddrwg o beth dwi meddwl. A dim ond defnyddio coch a gwyn ar y clawr.
Dyma fersiwn heb y llun.
Diolch yn fawr i Emyr eto am gael defnyddio y llun, mae wir yn gwneud wahaniaeth. Gadewch i mi wybod eto be da chi'n ei feddwl, unai isod neu ar Twitter. Diolch am ddarllen.
Rwyf wedi cymeryd cwpwl o oriau i neud cylchgrawn Golwg yn fwy ddeniadol i fy hyn. Dwi'n ei weld bron yn ddyddiol ar stondinau papur newydd ac byth yn ei brynu. Does genai'm syniad os yw'r cynnwys yn dda, ond ni wnai ei brynu yn y ffordd mae'n cael ei ddylunio ar y funud (prynais rhifyn wythnos yma ac ella na'i ddarllen). Mae na ormod yn mynd ymlaen ar y clawr, gormod o luniau a gormod o text wahanol. Nai'm sôn am y tu mewn.
Felly rhywbeth fel hyn fuasai'n apelio ata i, efallai ei fod yn rhy 'blaen' i'r cynilleidfa mae'n nhwn ei anelu at. Efo llun gwell dwi'n siŵr fuasai'n edrych yn well.
Dyma fersiwn heb y llun
Gadewch i mi wybod be da chi'n ei feddwl, All critics welcome.
ON (Dwi yn gwybod fod na to bach a ballu ar goll, cyn i rhywun sôn)
With Sky's dominance over the broadcasting of live Premiership (and other leagues) matches, it is still seen to many as a far too expensive way of watching football.
The future of broadcasting is slowly transitioning to a 'view on demand' basis through the internet, and for sports I have just seen the benefits to this.
If you take a look at Major League Baseball (MLB) & the NBA in the United States they have clearly noticed the benefits of not just allowing one broadcaster to dominate their matches. In the past year they have taken control of the broadcasting and have offered various ways of keeping up with their respected sport.
MLB were the first to offer a subscription service where you would be able to view live & recorded matches online, they have since expanded to support the iPhone, iPad, iPod Touch, Apple TV, Android Phones, Panasonic TVs, Samsung, Roku, Boxee & LG Televisions. See here for their pricing model http://mlb.com/tv
Similarly the NBA has started going down the same path and offering games on all Apple devices, Android & Nokia. Go here to see their prices https://ilp.nba.com/nbalp/secure/registerform
[ For a brief overview of how this works on an Apple TV take a look here
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6X4i2rk94E4&feature=related ]
At the moment, the cheapest Sky offer is for around £360 per year, but that's just for Sky Sports 1. I don't want to pay for Sky Sports, it's wasted content on me, I don't watch cricket, rugby or any of the other vast amount of sports they cover.
Sky have released iPhone and iPad apps for their sports channels, but it's still expensive content on a small screen (extra on top of your Sky TV subscription) and not even 10% the quality of the MLB apps.
I want dedicated Premiership football apps/coverage.
I would be more than willing to pay around £100 for the year of subscription. You could even offer a Pay Per Game option.
The more and more people that have Apple TVs, Roku, Boxee, Google TVs & internet connected TVs the more viable this option seems. Sky can still have their coverage, but offer us an alternative.
It's time for the Premiership to take back control of football.

Rydym wedi symud y swyddfa allan o fy atig i mewn i leoliad mwy swyddogol o'r diwedd, mi all pobl ddod rownd rŵan heb orfod dringo ysgol a finnau yn poeni am efallai cael fy siwio os maent yn disgyn a marw! Mae cael swyddfa newydd yn wyrthiol ond y broblem efo symud o unrhyw fath yw gorfod disgwyl i'r cwmni ffon tynnu eu bysedd allan o'i tinau a fflicio'r switch i ddweud fod y we rŵan ar gael. Seriws, pam ff*c mae'n cymryd pythefnos iddynt roi band llydan ymlaen pan mae'r ffon yn gweithio yn syth? Felly be nawn ni, peidio gweithio am y pythefnos cyntaf? Trio dwyn WiFi bar Medi? Neu oes ffordd arall o gadw mynd... "Mobile Broadband" wrth gwrs, dyna'r ateb, ond does dim pwynt cael 'dongle' ddim mond un sydd yn gallu defnyddio hwnnw a mae nau ddau ohonom, ond lwcus i ni fod math wahanol o 'dongle' allan rŵan y MiFi. Dongle o'r fath yw hwn sydd efo batri ynddo a mwy na dim yn darlledu WiFi.
Ar y blaen rydych yn gweld os oes genych gysylltiad 3G, faint o fatri sydd ar ôl, faint o MB rydych wedi defnyddio ag amser y sesiwn.
I gysylltu ar we gymerodd hi 30 eiliad i mi, oedd yn anhygoel. Sim Card i mewn, pŵer ymlaen ar y MiFi, y cyfrifiadur yn gweld y WiFI rhoid y cyfrinachair i mewn a BAM! syth ar YouPorn bbc.co.uk a fi. Go wir, dim ond huna mae'n cymryd.
Os ydych mewn ardal 3G (ddim llawer yng Nghymru) mae'r cyflymder yn grêt, yng nghanol Caernarfon rydym yn cael 3.5Mbs i lawr a tua 400k i fyny. 5 dyfais all gysylltu ar unwaith iddo, a mae 'na dwll ar gyfer Micro SD sy'n galluogi chi i rannu dogfennau yn rhwydd, ond ffeindish i fod Bonjour ar y Mac yn gweithio hebddo.
Mae'r batri yn para 4 - 5 awr ond yn dod efo micro USB i'w gadw mynd. Mi es i mor bell â 20 metr i ffwrdd oddi wrtho ag oedd y signal dal yn llawn!
Yr unig beth drwg allai ddweud am hwn yw faint o Gigabytes sy'n dod yn y cytundeb, 5Gb am £15 y mis ges i a talu £39.99 am y ddyfais, ond mae 'na opsiynau eraill ar gael fel PAYG. Y peth gorau i'w neud yw ffonio Three a dweud eich bod am adael, y cynnig cyntaf ges i oedd ei bod nhw am ostwng fy nghost fisol i £5 y mis!!! Ffoniais yn ôl wedyn i drio cael mwy o Gb cyn i mi redeg allan ac fe gynigodd nhw 15Gb i mi am £15, result! Ond dyw huna ddim yn cicio i mewn tan fory.
Yn anffodus oedd yr adolygiad yma i fod i ddod o ddyfnderoedd Castell Caernarfon i weld pe bai yn gweithio trwy'r waliau mawr ond mi gyrhaeddom y 5Gb limit cyn i mi fynd draw.
Mae'r ddyfais yma yn un anhygoel, ac os ydych yn trafeilio lot efo iPad, iPod Touch, laptop neu unrhyw beth sy'n dibynnu ar WiFI i gysylltu â'r we mae hwn werth pop ceiniog. Ond, gan fod cysylltiad ni i'r we yn dod i'r swyddfa dydd Iau nesaf efallai mi fydd yr un yma yn mynd ar werth gennai, felly cadwch eich llygaid allan ar Twitter os ydych yn cysidro cael un.
In response to the concerns of many people regarding the security of Internet Explorer 6 and the use of this software by Government Departments the Cabinet Office can confirm that the Government takes internet security very seriously. This has been reflected in recent changes to the Information Security and Assurance team and the Office of Cyber Security within the Cabinet Office which are in the process of merging together to lead a joined-up approach to information assurance and cyber security strategy and policy. Complex software will always have vulnerabilities and motivated adversaries will always work to discover and take advantage of them. There is no evidence that upgrading away from the latest fully patched versions of Internet Explorer to other browsers will make users more secure. Regular software patching and updating will help defend against the latest threats. The Government continues to work with Microsoft and other internet browser suppliers to understand the security of the products used by HMG, including Internet Explorer and we welcome the work that Microsoft are continuing do on delivering security solutions which are deployed as quickly as possible to all Internet Explorer users. Each Department is responsible for managing the risks to its IT systems based on Government Information Assurance policy and technical advice from CESG, the National Technical Authority for Information Assurance. Part of this advice is that regular software patching and updating will help defend against the latest threats. It is for individual departments to make the decision on how best to manage the risk based on this clear guidance. Public sector organisations are free to identify software that supports their business needs as long as it adheres to appropriate standards. Also, the cost-effectiveness of system upgrade depends on the circumstances of the individual department’s requirements. It is not straightforward for HMG departments to upgrade IE versions on their systems. Upgrading these systems to IE8 can be a very large operation, taking weeks to test and roll out to all users. To test all the web applications currently used by HMG departments can take months at significant potential cost to the taxpayer. It is therefore more cost effective in many cases to continue to use IE6 and rely on other measures, such as firewalls and malware scanning software, to further protect public sector internet users.
For those that don't know him, Major General Peter Cosgroveis an Australian.
General Cosgrove was interviewed on the radio recently.
Read his reply to the lady who interviewed him concerning guns and children.
Regardless of how you feel about gun laws you have to love this! This is one of the best comeback lines of all time.
In a portion of an ABC radio interview between a female broadcaster and General Cosgrove who was about to sponsor a Boy Scout Troop visiting his military Headquarters.
FEMALE INTERVIEWER:
So, General Cosgrove, what things are you going to teach these young boys when they visit your base? GENERAL COSGROVE:!
We're going to teach them climbing, canoeing, archery and shooting.
FEMALE INTERVIEWER:
Shooting! That's a bit irresponsible, isn't it?
GENERAL COSGROVE:
I don't see why, they'll be properly supervised on the rifle range.
FEMALE INTERVIEWER:
Don't you admit that this is a terribly dangerous activity to be teaching children? GENERAL COSGROVE:
I don't see how. We will be teaching them proper rifle discipline before they even touch a firearm.
FEMALE INTERVIEWER:
But you're equipping them to become violent killers.
GENERAL COSGROVE:
Well, Ma'am, you're equipped to be a prostitute, but you're not one, are you?
The radiocast went silent for 46 seconds and when it returned, this interview was over.
If you're not keen with the alarm sounds on you're iPhone I strongly suggest getting Time Tuner, it's basically a clock radio with an alarm. I instantly bought the app after seeing it's UI, simple and elegant. And the app works just as advertised. Tune in to thousands of radio stations which can be set as an alarm or use the music you have stored on your iPhone. You can even stream podcasts. The app by its self is great, but what prompted me to write this was the great customer support, I wrote to them after discovering there was no BBC radio streams (I knew this before the purchase) and just asked if it was at all possible for them to be implemented in the future (BBC use WMA o'r Real format, nasty formats that are non iPhone friendly), within 12 hours I had a response: Hi Iestyn,Short answer: it's coming.Longer answer:Currently, TimeTuner only supports radio streams that broadcast in formats
native to the iPhone (MP3 and AAC). This is why we only advertise carrying
about 14,000 stations in those formats, of the almost 25,000 streams
available through RadioTime.The BBC chose to stream all of their content in Microsoft's WMA format, (or
Real Audio), which are not natively supported by the iPhone.We are aware that some other apps carry the BBC streams, but they do so by
using 'open source' CODECS which have both reliability and copyright issues.However, our development team has been hard at work creating a workaround
solution for this issue and we expect to release a V2 update soon so that we
can supply all RadioTime streams, including all WMA, RA and the BBC streams.It is not a small task and we have been working on it for some time. The
Beeb's streaming format decision has been the topic of much debate in the
development community as most other national broadcasters (CBC, NPR, RTL,
etc.) all manage to stream in MP3.Hope this helps. And please keep an eye out for V2 which we hope to release
before the holidays.Thanks for your support!Cheers
Brett Brilliant! I wish them all the luck and urge you to try their app out, £1.19, bargain.
The Four Cats Four men were bragging about how smart their cats were. The first man was an Engineer, The second man was an Accountant, The third man was a Chemist, and The fourth man was a Council Employee. To show off, the Engineer called his cat, "T-square, do your stuff." T-square pranced over to the desk, took out some paper and pen and promptly drew a circle, a square, and a triangle. Everyone agreed that was pretty smart. But the Accountant said his cat could do better. He called his cat and said, "Spreadsheet, do your stuff." Spreadsheet went out to the kitchen and returned with a dozen cookies. He divided them into 4 equal piles of 3 cookies. Everyone agreed that was good. But the Chemist said his cat could do better. He called his cat and said, "Measure, do your stuff." Measure got up, walked to the fridge, took out a quart of milk, got a 10 ounce glass from the cupboard and poured exactly 8 ounceswithout spilling a drop into the glass. Everyone agreed that was pretty good. Then the three men turned to the Council Employee and said, "What can your cat do?" The Council Employee called his cat and said, "CoffeeBreak, do your stuff." CoffeeBreak jumped to his feet....... Ate the cookies........ Drank the milk....... Sh*t on the paper....... Screwed the other three cats....... Claimed he injured his back while doing so....... Filed a grievance report for unsafe working conditions....... Put in for Workers Compensation...............and Went home for the rest of the day on sick leave............ AND THAT, MY FRIEND IS WHY EVERYONE WANTS TO WORK FOR THE COUNCIL!!
