I'd like to be moved to the 4th group (6 Dec), if possible, I have midterms to grade and squibs to write due now. I'd like to work from Tmaśareʔ, but the site says changes may be added - what stage of completion is it in? If I can't be moved I will have to drop I'm afraid, but everyone's work so far...

I use cinnamon frequently in Indian cooking (like in tikka masala or certain curries), which frequently have a can of crushed tomatoes in it and it's fine. Of course, there's just a pinch, it's well-mixed with the aromatics (onions, garlic, ginger if it's there) before the tomatoes are added, and 5-...

I'm speechless, well nearly. This is the kind of crap you see going "straight to DVD!", the fact that this is in theatres means that someone actually thought that people would want to watch this.

I've also just won the other day, with the bacteria type. All my previous attempts had been with a virus, but it seems there are different routes to victory.
