How to Prepare Short Bread Cookies

2011-03-21T01:37:00.000-07:00

The secret to making good shortbread cookies is to use a high quality butter and pure vanilla extract.

Ingredients:

2 cups (260 grams) all-purpose flour

1/4 teaspoon (2 grams) salt

1 cup (2 sticks) (226 grams) unsalted butter, room temperature

1/2 cup (60 grams) powdered (confectioners or icing) sugar

1 teaspoon (4 grams) pure vanilla extract

Method:

In a separate bowl whisk the flour with the salt. Set aside.

In the bowl of your electric mixer (or with a hand mixer), cream the butter until smooth (about 1 minute). Add the sugar and beat until smooth (about 2 minutes). Beat in the vanilla extract. Gently stir in the flour mixture just until incorporated. Flatten the dough into a disk shape, wrap in plastic wrap, and chill the dough for at least an hour.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (177 degrees C) with the rack in the middle of the oven. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.

On a lightly floured surface roll out the dough to 1/4 inch (.5 cm) thick. Cut into rounds or whatever shapes you wish using lightly floured cookie cutter. Place the cookies on the prepared baking sheet and place in the refrigerator for about 15 minutes. This will firm up the dough so the cookies will maintain their shape when baked. Bake for 8 - 10 minutes, or until cookies are lightly brown. Cool on rack.

Shortbread can keep in an airtight container for about a week or frozen for several months.

Tips: The texture of shortbread can also be changed by replacing 1/4 cup (35 grams) of the flour with rice flour to give them a slightly crunchy texture. Or, for a more delicate tasting shortbread with a melt-in-your-mouth texture, replace 1/2 cup (70 grams) of the flour with cornstarch (corn flour). Short breads can be cut into various shapes using your favorite cookie cutter, baked in a tart pan, or else as fingers. If you like, sprinkle the baked cookies with granulated white sugar or dip the ends of the shortbread in melted chocolate. The variations are endless but all produce a wonderful tasting cookie that is perfect any time of the day.

Don't Lie to Mom - A Funny Story

2011-03-20T04:53:00.000-07:00

A Mom comes to visit her son Kumar for dinner...who lives with a girl roommate Sunita.
During the course of the meal, his mother couldn't help but notice how pretty Kumar's, roommate was.

She had long been suspicious of a relationship between the two, and this had only made her more curious. Over the course of the evening, while watching the two interact, she started to wonder if there was more between Kumar and his roommate than met the eye. Reading his mom's thoughts, Kumar volunteered, 'I know what you must be thinking, but I assure you, Sunita and I are just roommates.'

About a week later, Sunita came to Kumar saying, 'Ever since your mother came to dinner, I've been unable to find the silver chutney jar.
You don't suppose she took it, do you?' Kumar said: "Well, I doubt it, but I'll email her, just to be sure.'

So he sat down and wrote:

Dear Mother,
I'm not saying that you 'did' take the chutney jar from my house, I'm not saying that you 'did not' take the chutney jar. But the fact remains
that it has been missing ever since you were here for dinner.
Love,
Kumar

Several days later, Kumar received an email from his Mother which read,

Dear Son:
I'm not saying that you 'do' sleep with Sunita, and I'm not saying that you do not' sleep with Sunita. But the fact remains that if she was sleeping in her OWN bed, she would have found the chutney jar by now under the pillow...
Love,
Mom.

Lesson:Don't Lie to Your Mother.... especially if she is Indian!!!

A coolest Mail in IT

2011-03-20T04:41:00.000-07:00

The local bar was so sure that its bartender was the strongest man around that they offered a Rs 10,000 bet. The bartender would squeeze a lemon until all the juice ran into a glass, and hand the lemon to a patron. Anyone who could squeeze one more drop of juice out would win the money. Many people like weight-lifters, wrestlers, body builders, etc had tried over time, but nobody could do it.

One day this scrawny little man came in, wearing thick glasses and a safari suit, and said in a tiny, squeaky voice, "I'd like to try the bet." After the laughter had died down, the bartender said OK, grabbed a lemon, and squeezed away. Then he handed the wrinkled remains of the rind to the little man. But the crowd's laughter turned to total silence as the man clenched his fist around the lemon and 5-6 drops fell into the glass. As the crowd cheered, the bartender paid the Rs 10,000, and asked the little man,
"What do you do for a living?
Are you a weight-lifter, or what?"
"No," replied the man.
"I work as a project manager in a software company !! "

"You Chinese people bombed our Pearl Habour, get outta here."

The astonished Chinese man replied,
"It was not the Chinese who bombed your Pearl Harbour,
it was the Japanese".

"Chinese, Japanese, Taiwanese, you're all the same," replied Spielberg.

In return, the Chinese gives Spielberg a slap and says,

Difference between Posting Key and Field Status Variant

2011-03-20T04:12:00.000-07:00

'Posting Key Variant ' Controls- fields of Posting Key and 'Field Status Variant' controls fields of G/L Account.Fields of G/L Account which are controlled by FSV can see in T.Code OBC4 and Fields of Posting Keys in SPRO-FAGS-Document- Line Item. Both can controls common fields, then SAP applies 'SDRO' rule.
SDRO rule. The fields can be Suppressed, Displayed, Required, Optional.
Posting is key controls
- which type of accounts can be posted to
- whether the line item is debit or credit
- and the field status of the document line item
Where as FSG (group into Field status Variant) controls only the the document line item for that account.
There are only three field status options during document entry:
- Suppressed
- Required
- Optional
If both Posting key and FSV has the same field as Required and optional, system uses the link rules, takes the one which has the highest priority(in this case required).
But in case of Master record Field status which is controlled by Account Group, there are 4 options of field status:
- Suppressed
- Display
- Required
- Optional
Account group defines:
a. length of gl account number
b. no. ranges of the gl account numbers
c. field status of the GL account master data in the company code segment.(which fields to appear when you create a gl account) (to control...double click on your GL account group in Screen transaction code OBD4)
Posting key defines:
a. whether the line item is a debit or credit
b. to which type of account the amount should be posted to(ex: when you use posting key 40, you will be able to post to gl accounts. When you use Posting key 01, you will be only able to post to customer account.
c. document screen layout during posting of a document. (which fields to appear in a document...double click on the posting key and select field status and make the entries as required /optional etc)
Field status group defines:
Document screen layout during posting of a document. (which fields to appear in a document...double click on the field status group and select fields and make the entries as required /optional etc)
LOGIC: you assign field status variant to the company code, FSV is a bundle of field status groups.
ex: in FSG G001 you have made the text as required entry...you assigned the field status group g001 to cash account..so when you use cash account and try to post a document it will definitely prompt you to enter the text (text made as required.)
Both FSG and PK control the same feilds in a document.There is no dominance between FSG and Posting keys..but we should know the allowed combinations....
If text is made required in PK and suppressed in FSG..the system will issue a error msg..Rules for PK...and FSG....is set incorrectly for SGTXT field.
Permissable combinations:
Pk          R/S     O/S   R/o     R    S O
FSG         S/R     S/O   o/r     R    S O
Result   e   SD      RD    NP   NP NP
R = required
s   = suppressed
e   = error
SD = Suppressed dominates
Rd = required dominates
np = no problem

SAP Chart of Account

2011-03-20T03:08:00.000-07:00

It defines the structure of G/L accounts. It is a list of G/L accounts
used by one or more company codes. In that Chart of account you have to specify
the length of G/L accounts.
In SAP all the entries are document oriented. so from the balance sheet of
any entry you can identify the root of an entry. so it's like a flow chart in
computer terms.
There are threee types of Chart of Account are there.
1.Operative Chart of Accounts
2.Group of Chart of Accounts
3.Country Chart of Accounts.
1.Operative Chart of Accounts is a Chart of Account you use for the company
code.
2.For different chart of accounts(operative COA) for different company code,
you can group the chart of account into one chart of account for internal
reporting, but cross company code controlling is not possible, because of
different chart of account for different company code.
3.For different country you can have different reporting system. so for
different company code you can have different company code, but can have same
Operative Chart of account, so cross company code controlling is possible.

The difference between INVOICE and BILLING in SAP.

2011-03-20T03:03:00.000-07:00

Both are same in SD point of view.
- In SD terminology we call as Billing Document and
- In FI terminology we call as INVOICE.
- In MM again only INVOICE will be there for Vendors.
Invoice is document indicating to delivery goods and Billing is a receipt of
payment.
If we receive the goods from vendors that is called bill if we give the
goods to customer that is called invoice.
Bill means we have to pay the amount against bill invoice means we have to
receive the amount against invoice.
Invoice is for both : Vendor Invoice and Customer Invoice.
Billing Tcodes:
- VF01 create billing document. The delivery order comes up auto.
- VF02 the billing doc comes up auto . View the accounting enteries

Invoice Tcodes:
- FB60 Create invoice with respect to rawmaterial and tax.
- FB70 Invoice entries with respect to sales and tax

Depreciation Areas

2011-03-20T02:55:00.000-07:00

The depreciation areas are identified in the system by a two-character numeric key.
They contain depreciation terms that you can enter in the asset master record or in the asset classes.
Depreciation area 01 is the major depreciation area. Values and depreciations are posted to the general ledger.
You have to specify which depreciation types and special valuations (such as interest) are allowed in your depreciation areas. The standard depreciation areas already have the necessary settings.

Why God Allows Pain

2011-03-20T02:40:00.000-07:00

A man went to a barbershop to have his hair cut and his beard trimmed.
As the barber began to work, they began to have a good conversation.
They talked about so many things and various subjects.
When they eventually touched on the subject of God, the barber said:
"I don't believe that God exists."
"Why do you say that?" asked the customer. "Well, you just have to go out in the street to realize that God doesn't exist.
Tell me, if God exists, would there be so many sick people?
Would there be abandoned children?
If God existed, there would be neither suffering nor pain.
I can't imagine a loving God who would allow all of these things."
The customer thought for a moment, but didn't respond because he didn't want to start an argument.
The barber finished his job and the customer left the shop.
Just after he left the barbershop, he saw a man in the street with long, stringy, dirty hair and an untrimmed beard.
He looked dirty and unkempt. The customer turned back and entered the barber shop again and he said to the barber:
"You know what? Barbers do not exist."
"How can you say that?" asked the surprised barber.
"I am here, and I am a barber. And I just worked on you!"
"No!" the customer exclaimed. "Barbers don't exist because
if they did, there would be no people with dirty long hair and untrimmed beards, like that man outside."
"Ah, but barbers DO exist! That's what happens when people do not come to me."
"Exactly!" affirmed the customer. "That's the point! God, too, DOES exist!
That's what happens when people do not go to Him and don't look to Him for help.
That's why there's so much pain and suffering in the world."

Beautiful Thoughts

2011-03-18T14:13:00.000-07:00

Beautiful Thoughts...

Heavy rains remind us of challenges in life. Never ask for a lighter rain. Just pray for a better umbrella. That is attitude.

When flood comes, fish eat ants & when flood recedes, ants eat fish. Only time matters. Just hold on, God gives opportunity to everyone!

Life is not about finding the right person, but creating the right relationship, it's not how we care in the beginning, but how much we care till ending.

Some people always throw stones in your path. It depends on you what you make with them. Wall or Bridge? Remember you are the architect of your life.

Every problem has (n+1) solutions, where n is the number of solutions that you have tried and 1 is that you have not tried. That’s life.

Search a beautiful heart, but don't search a beautiful face'. Coz beautiful things are not always good, but good things are always beautiful.

It’s not important to hold all the good cards in life. But it`s important how well you play with the cards which you hold.

Often when we lose all hope & think this is the end, God smiles from above and says, `relax dear its just a bend. Not the end. Have Faith and have a successful life.

One of the basic differences between God and human is, God gives, gives and forgives. But human gets, gets, gets and forgets. Be thankful in life.

When you feel sad, to cheer up just go to the mirror and say, `Damn I am really so cute` and you will overcome your sadness. But don’t make this a habit coz liars go to hell.

HEART OF GRATITUDE

2011-03-16T05:16:00.000-07:00

A blind boy sat on the steps of a building with a hat by his feet. He held up a sign which said: "I am blind, please help." There were only a few coins in the hat.

A man was walking by. He took a few coins from his pocket and dropped them into the hat. He then took the sign, turned it around, and wrote some words. He put the sign back so that everyone who walked by would see the new words.
Soon the hat began to fill up. A lot more people were giving money to the blind boy. That afternoon the man who had changed the sign came to see how things were. The boy recognized his footsteps and asked, "Were you the one who changed my sign this morning? What did you write?"

The man said, "I only wrote the truth. I said what you said but in a different way."
I wrote: "Today is a beautiful day but I cannot see it."
Both signs told people that the boy was blind. But the first sign simply said the boy was blind. The second sign told people that they were so lucky that they were not blind. Should we be surprised that the second sign was more effective?

Moral of the Story: Be thankful for what you have.. Be creative. Be innovative. Think differently and positively.
When life gives you a 100 reasons to cry, show life that you have 1000 reasons to smile Face your past without regret. Handle your present with confidence. Prepare for the future without fear. Keep the faith and drop the fear.
The most beautiful thing is to see a person smiling…
And even more beautiful is, knowing that you are the reason behind it!!!
Enjoy your day with a heart of gratitude.
