“I find it really hard to stop,” says Hazel Barry – and she’s not kidding. Losing the ability to walk for a year didn’t stop her from achieving business success.
Nor did the six months she spent fighting the weekly threat of bankruptcy or losing it all and having to rebuild from scratch. In fact it would take a lot more to knock this tenacious entrepreneur off course.
Still only 37, Hazel has – despite numerous setbacks – built up a business with truly global appeal from its base in Harrogate. H2K sells luxury skincare, toiletries and spa products to hotels here, in the Middle East, Australia and in pockets of Europe.
It lists some of the world’s biggest hotel brands among its customers and, with the company’s growth now picking up, plans to expand onto the High Street and into new international markets. Hazel grew up in Bradford and showed entrepreneurial flair from an early age.
When she was seven she ‘branded’ the rose petal perfume she’d made and sold it round the neighbourhood and “made enough money to buy sweets, which was very important then”. Dad worked in a bank, while mum sold skin care products at Tupperware-style parties.
She left school at 16 and, on her mum’s orders, went to secretarial school for six months. “My mum said if I was going to live at home I had to find a proper job. “I remember thinking at the time, I’m not going be a secretary I’m going to have one,” she says with a laugh.
Despite her success today, an in-joke at H2K is that Hazel still hasn’t actually got a PA or secretary. That goal as yet has eluded her. “I actually do need one, hopefully by the end of the year. Emma, my sales administrator, does some of my PA work though."
Next a business degree funded by the chemicals company Cytec where she worked in customer services admin, helped to set her on the road to entrepreneurialism. Her time at Cytec also gave her an insight into the formulating and treatment of chemicals – something which would prove useful later in life.
At her next job she progressed into an export manager’s role and learned about another area which is now a crucial part of her business; global trade. “I learned about international banking, how to import and export, the many regulations that the Government imposes on import and export.
By the time she was 21, a Prince’s Trust business course had propelled Hazel into setting up her own fashion business. After six months of trading, profits were tight and so she decided to do secretarial work by day and sell at night.
This commitment to hard work continues today though as she balances the life of a young mother with that of an entrepreneur.
“I don’t think anyone who has a business works less than 12 hour days do they? I’ve got a nice work life balance now because I’ve got a little girl but if I’m really honest, I work from nine till two, then go back to work after seven when my daughter goes to sleep. I’d love to meet a person who’s actually made it and done it on short hours, I just don’t think it can happen.
“When I first had my daughter I probably let the business tick over as opposed to pushing it for a year but businesses don’t survive if you do that for too long.” After her short-lived fashion empire, Hazel landed a job as the northern sales rep for a South East based cosmetics firm and, over three years, was instrumental in doubling the firm’s turnover.
But: “I found I really missed doing things for myself,” she says. And so Hazel went it alone and within two months found herself pitching to the only five star hotel in the North of England at the time, The Lowry Hotel.
The original concept for the company evolved from Hazel’s plans to manufacture skincare products to help people whose skin was affected by medication for the same ongoing gut complaint that she suffers from.
“I had really dry skin and couldn’t find anything to help it until I found Kalahari melon oil which comes from Namibia and is really good as a natural moisturising derivative.
The brand has since grown, with more products being developed for all skin types – alongside its toiletries products. But a call from a business looking to tap into her selling power was what really got the company moving in its first few months.
“I set the business up to sell various things for the hotel industry and I’d been contacted by a company asking me if I could sell pens and pencils into the Lowry. Pens and pencils weren’t really my thing but I did it anyway and I got the order.
H2K (H2 representing H2O and ‘K’ for Kalahari) then started building traction in the hotel industry.
“Taking a brand that didn’t really exist into the best hotel in the North was a bit of a challenge really. I thought it couldn’t be too difficult, and then I realised how difficult it was.
Initially the business traded out of a “tiny bungalow” on a trading estate in Bradford with a team of one.
While many start-ups fail because they struggle to find a market to sell to, Hazel’s challenge was the opposite problem – she sold too much.
“I was trading too fast. So I was buying more stock but people weren’t paying quickly enough. So I put the house in with the business.
“For six months I had to fax the bank every Friday and then on a Monday to find out if I was going bust. I could hardly sleep at night.
She alleviated the problem by selling her house at a 30% profit – this was in 2003 in the housing boom years - and put all the money in the business, paid the bank back and moved back in with her mum.
That ‘while’ lasted for six years as she slowly but surely got the business firmly established, with a small team and growing presence. Spotting an opportunity to raise some cash fast for the business, Hazel renovated and sold three houses – selling by day and painting, decorating and learning to plumb and hang doors at night.
The company then cracked the Middle East market with a deal taking it into some of Dubai and the wider Gulf region’s luxury hotels operated under names like Hilton and Sheraton as well as Microsoft’s UAE offices.
This market has since acted as a stepping stone into Australia for H2K. Next came the economic downturn.
In the fallout H2K lost a major client in Dubai which had been offered free toiletries from a rival supplier. The company survive the knockback and began moving along briskly until a health problem threatened to stop Hazel in her tracks.
Around 18 months ago she collapsed at home and was unable to get back up. It was caused by an inflamed pelvis related to the medical condition she was born with which causes certain parts of her body to become inflamed.
Hazel was unable to stand or even sit and was told by doctors that if she couldn’t overcome the pain of learning to walk again in the first two years, she’d probably never walk again.
But a little problem like this wouldn’t stop someone as determined in business as this, despite fearing the worst.
“I needed 24 hour care for six months and couldn’t walk for a year. I couldn’t even use a wheelchair as I couldn’t sit upright.
She also employed a sales director, Angela, which Hazel says is the best decision she’s ever made. And the year spent running the business from a horizontal angle delivered some surprisingly positive results.
“I don’t like to admit it but I’m not good at stopping. Not being able to walk and get out and do things made me for the first time in my life stop.
“Instead of me going out seeing people and doing all the things I used to do, it made me stop and sit back from the business. It made me jump out of it and see it in a different light.
The rebrand came after the company missed out on what had been considered a shoe-in contract win worth £500,000. And it has certainly proved to be a shrewd move.
“We tendered for a major account with a big hotel group and we were told that they were 99.9% sure we were going to get it. We were really excited, but when it came to signing the papers we were told we hadn’t got it.
“We asked them why and they told us it was because we weren’t English enough. We have our address on there but they said it’s not on the front of the bottle. So we rebranded as H2K of Harrogate and since then the business is virtually doubling.
Another global boost is the deal it has just signed through a distributor to sell its products as a vendor on Amazon across the US and Germany, as well as the UK. “We expect big results from that,” she says.
At a time when many retailers are shedding the bricks and mortar expenses that come with a high street presence, H2K is moving in the opposite direction.
“We want to get onto the High Street and we’re waiting for planning to go through for a site in Harrogate, but it should definitely happen before the Tour de France next year.
“We’re doing it for our profile and because we have a really big following. We are in a recession but what we’ve found in the hotel industry is that people aren’t buying cheaper toiletries, they are actually still wanting a really quality product. People don’t want to compromise on their skin and I can’t see the high street being a bad thing for us.” The company certainly seems on an upwards trajectory then?
“We sell about 250,000 bottles per month and have grown 20% on last year, and will grow by a further 20% next year. We expect to hit £10m turnover within five years.” For now, though, Hazel is on the hunt for up to seven figures of new investment to realise her business ambitions.
“We’ll use it to make the brand global. The next stop is America next year.” With her tenacity, there’s very little doubt that she’ll not only get there, but make a success of what could potentially be a hugely lucrative market.

A commentator provides information, insider knowledge and you guessed it, commentary. Commentators can speak on anything from politics, popular culture, real estate, sports, celebrities – you name it.
As a commentator, you can showcase your industry knowledge, skills and sometimes offer advice or analysis.
According to the public relations team at Adoni Media, it’s important for commentators to connect with their audiences, so you’ll need to show off a bit of your personality as well.
Learn to present well: A commentator often appears on live television or radio, but they can also be asked to speak for television programs, or print media, including magazines. Before any media appearance or interview, it’s important you learn to present yourself and your messages well to an audience. Preparing beforehand can help you think on the spot, as you’ll already know what talking points you’d like to hit. Speaking strongly, clearly and conversationally, will help you become likeable as well as credible. If you’re appearing on TV, think about what you’re wearing and what the others around you will be wearing.
Don’t freeze under pressure: The worst thing you can do on live television is crack under pressure. There will be times when things go wrong and are out of your control. Make sure you prepare as much as you can beforehand, so you don’t forget names or how to say them. When giving advice or opinions, make sure you word them in a way that the audience understands.
Flow with what’s happening around you: In this sort of business, events will usually unfold around you, so you must be versatile and prepare for the unexpected. Good commentators can notice what’s happening around them and then create new conversation about it.
Be available for comment: To become the go-to person for the media, you must be available and also reliable.
Be informative: Research as much about the topic you’re commentating on as you can, as you’ll want to provide comment wherever possible in order to build your profile. This will make you seem more credible and your audience will know you’ve done your homework. Review the overall buzz about the topic and try and find new, interesting angles that haven’t been discussed. Think to yourself what new insight or perspective you can bring.

This part of the Law Works Disclosure Document Primer Series examines the projections, all agreements, leasing information and franchisor’s background information requirements.
A franchisor doing business in Ontario is required to deliver to a prospective franchisee a fully compliant Disclosure Document under the provisions of the Arthur Wishart Act (Franchise Disclosure), 2000 and its Regulation.
An Ontario Disclosure Document must contain the information and documents as set in this “Disclosure Document Primer” series.
A franchisor is not required to provide an estimate of annual operating costs in the Disclosure Document, unless they are otherwise “material facts”.
This is different from the estimated franchisee’s costs of setting up the franchised business, which are required to be disclosed in detail. See the Law Works Franchise Justice Blog Post, dated January 15, 2014, titled “Certificate, Financial Statements and Costs: A Disclosure Document Primer”, for more information about the required disclosure relating to the costs of setting up.
If, for whatever reasons, an estimate of annual operating costs for the franchise is provided in the Disclosure Document, they are required to be accompanied in the Disclosure Document by a statement specifying (i) the basis for the estimate, (ii) the assumptions underlying the estimate, and (iii) a location where information is available for inspection that substantiates the estimate.
Similarly, a franchisor is not required to provide earning projections in the Disclosure Document.
If a franchisor chooses to provide earning projections, they are required to be accompanied in the Disclosure Document by a statement specifying similar information as with an estimate of annual operating costs: (i) the reasonable basis for the projections, (ii) the assumptions underlying the projections, and (iii) a location where information is available for inspection that substantiates the projections.
The Disclosure Document is required to include in it – as one combined document – all proposed franchise and other agreements relating to the franchise that are required to be signed by the prospective franchisee.
This includes, among other things, not only the main franchise agreement, but also the head lease and sublease agreement, as well as all security agreements, personal guarantees, etc.
Relating to the previous heading with respect to all proposed franchise and related agreements, where the franchise is of a retail nature and requires the leasing of retail space, the key terms of the head lease and sublease are material facts.
These material facts, as all other material facts, are required to be contained in the Disclosure Document.
See the Law Works Franchise Justice Blog Post, dated January 15, 2014, titled “Material Facts, Material Changes and Franchisor’s Associates: A Disclosure Document Primer”, for more information about the required disclosure relating to material facts and material changes.
The Regulation to the Act prescribes a list of information that is required to be contained in the Disclosure Document.
details of any bankruptcy or insolvency proceedings, voluntary or otherwise, any part of which took place during the six years immediately preceding the date of the disclosure document, against any of the following persons as debtors.
Failure by the franchisor to provide the required information in a Disclosure Document may entitle a franchisee to a rescission of the franchise purchase.
For an overview of the franchise rescission remedy in Ontario under the Act, see the Law Works Franchise Justice Blog Post, dated January 15, 2014, titled “Franchise Rescission in Ontario: A Primer”.

Look at the weakness of this exchange in parliament yesterday. It was a patsy set up so National could crow about sole parents leaving welfare. Fair enough.
Beneficiaries—Statistics 7. ALFRED NGARO (National) to the Minister for Social Development: What reports has she received regarding the number of New Zealanders who are benefit-dependent, in particular those relating to sole parents?
Hon ANNE TOLLEY (Minister for Social Development): Under this Government, the number of people on welfare for this quarter is the lowest it has been since 2008. The latest benefit figures released last week show that there are now over 10,000 fewer people on welfare compared with September last year, and more than 70 percent of them are sole parents. We know that sole parents who go on benefit, particularly in their teens, do have the highest lifetime cost of any group on welfare and are more likely to stay on welfare. The reduction in the number of sole parents on benefit extends across all ages, and this is indeed a positive trend.
Alfred Ngaro: What are the Government’s priorities for ensuring we move New Zealanders who are on benefits into work over the next 3 years?
Hon ANNE TOLLEY: We believe that the best way out of poverty is through work, and that is why we have set ambitious targets to reduce long-term welfare dependency. As part of this programme we will progress legislation extending the Youth Service approach to under-20s. This will see these young people working with a dedicated provider to deliver intensive support and guidance as well as budgeting support and help paying their bills. This Government believes that the welfare system should provide a safety net for those in genuine need and that people are better (uncorrected transcript—subject to correction and further editing) off in work. This is particularly the case for our youngest New Zealanders, who deserve to be backed rather than left to sit on welfare.
Sue Moroney: How many sole parents have simply been transferred from sole parent support on to a different category of benefit over the same period?
Hon ANNE TOLLEY: I do not have any figures on that, but I do not believe that this Government is in the habit of the previous Labour Government of merely shifting people around when it comes to benefit numbers. We are working to make sure that people get off benefit and into work, and, what is more, we are succeeding.
Sue Moroney: I seek leave to table a document showing that the number of sole parents who have been transferred on to job seeker support was about 20,000 over that period.
Mr SPEAKER: I need the source of the document.
Sue Moroney: The source of the document is theNew Zealand Herald.
Mr SPEAKER: No, I will not be putting the leave.
Tolley should have clarified that sole parents whose youngest child is 14 or over were moved onto the Jobseeker benefit as they have full-time work requirements. However the number of sole parents on any benefit is still lower now than in 2008. That's the point.
And Moroney's question based on a newspaper article was actually irrelevant and a waste of a supplementary. Fewer sole parents are on welfare - period. That'll be why the Greens left it alone.
Green MP Catherine Delahunty sounds defeated in her post at Daily blog. Well she might. How long have the Greens been in opposition now? And I think in terms of the electorate NZ may have reached peak Green.
Parliament opened this week and I still find it a very odd place. Most of the people are reasonably courteous and friendly, but the rituals are archaic and the rules around issues like the swearing in oath are oppressive and undermine MPs’ commitment to upholding Te Tiriti o Waitangi. The Parliamentary opening also celebrates violence, as it involves soldiers and medals, guns, and war planes in the sky. It includes Supreme Court Judges in horsehair wigs. A black rod and a golden mace preside.
It is hard to find the sense of being a Pacific country but when Te Atiawa kuia start the karanga and the whānau perform waiata, then everything comes alive.
The Maiden Speeches are also happening and what a mixed bag they are. Some MPs who look young enough to be my grand babies are making sad enthusiastic speeches about Margaret Thatcher as the role model for their political careers. I have heard new MPs from National and ACT espouse the absolute primacy of the individual with no recognition of how we are social animals who are utterly interdependent. They don’t seem to realise they are the product of many lives and processes, not to mention the taxes of everyone who built the roads, schools, hospitals and institutions where they have gained educational qualifications and privilege.
You would expect these young people to have some modern heroes, but so often its Margaret Thatcher and Roger Douglas who get celebrated. It’s was chilling to see the line-up of older, male Pākehā former members at the front of Parliament, including Roger Douglas and Don Brash, the architects of the current trickle down disaster. They were sitting watching their young prodigies get up and espouse their individual and property rights obsessions as our world becomes increasingly unequal.
I am thoroughly encouraged that young people are espousing "individual and property rights."
Delahunty doesn't go very deep. She doesn't understand that the combination of the collective and state compulsion is a dangerous and destructive thing. The combination of the collective - the expression of our interdependence - and voluntarism however is a very good and healthy thing. She can't comprehend that, for instance, the state has weakened the voluntary social interdependence between two parents by financially supplanting the father. She doesn't grasp that the wholesale weakening of individual rights carries with it a devestating weakening of individual responsibility.
Thanks to 10 percent of New Zealanders, the Green Party stands here unbeaten, united, and in good voice.
Except she is clearly not in good voice.
This is justified. There is clear evidence from more than one source that a significant portion of sole parent benefits are going into families where the recipient has a partner.
I've done a number of searches looking for further information eg what region is the trial being conducted in, to little avail.
However a search of '1,616 sole parents' at the MSD website found that at December 2013, there were 1,616 sole parent beneficiaries in the Gisborne Regional Council area. Could be mere coincidence. Though it'd certainly be a good target area. A previous MSD voluntary trial amongst sole parents aimed at getting them into work or training - COMPASS - was conducted in 4 areas. One was Gisborne.
If the trial was being conducted in Gisborne it might provoke a drop in sole parent beneficiaries but the difference between December 2013 and September 2014 (-6.8%) is almost exactly the same as the nationwide drop.
The trial has probably been disrupted by the incident at Ashburton following which (as I recall) home visits were suspended. But let's hope the evaluation will be made public.
I'll ask some OIA questions anyway.

Giddy up, Oklahoma’s comin’ to town!
Left: Meaghan Sider as Laurey Williams and Josh Clemenger as Curly McLain sing “People Will Say We're in Love,” Reprise. Right: The Cast of Oklahoma! sing and dance throughout the production.
It’s not every day you see 45 people crammed on the stage at the Palace Theatre on Dundas Street.
Oklahoma! director and choreographer Ceris Thomas has been working on the production since spring. The show opened November 14 and runs for 10 days.
Thomas chose Oklahoma! for its timelessness and the significance of Musical Theatre Productions’ (MTP) 25th anniversary year.
Thomas had never before worked on Oklahoma!, which allows for a big cast, but she said she wouldn’t do it again.
Thomas’ cast was “invaluable” to her as a choreographer. “Some of the people in this show can really dance ... anything I threw at them step-wise, [they] really ate it up.” They in turn made her role a little easier.
The fight is lead cast member Josh Clemenger’s favourite aspect of the production.
Clemenger, a fourth-year music voice major at Western University is knee-deep in commitments, but makes it work – just barely, though, he insisted.
However, the magnitude of the cast’s talent allows them to keep moving forward, illnesses aside.
Meaghan Sider, Clemenger’s castmate and female counterpart, had been sick for two and a half months and said it’s only starting to subside.
“[I’m] just taking it day by day ... Having good technique has gotten me through the whole rehearsal process, and I’m hoping will get me through the show,” said Sider.
Are you convinced? Will you be seeing it?
From November 21 to 24, a portion of all ticket sales for Oklahoma! will be donated to the Canadian Red Cross Typhoon Haiyan Fund.

Axes were important rescue tools to access buildings and assist in clearing paths to trapped and wounded people.
A rescue worker wearing the ARP axe and carrier.
The 'ARPAX' was manufactured by the Chillington Tool Company Limited of Wolverhampton. Some of these are imprinted with ARP 55 - the pattern number for this item. The insulated handle was encased in rubber which provided protection if the axe severed an electric cable (moulded into the handle was 'TESTED 20,000 VOLTS'). There were three variants of the ARPAX. A leather holder was available to hold the axe on a belt.

At certain air raid incidents the main telephone lines may have been cut. To allow for communications to continue, ARP services (Head Wardens, Rescue Parties etc) could use this portable telephone that ran off two size T dry cell batteries.
Ceiling pikes and prodders were used to test whether loose debris could be brought down in a bomb damaged property. Wardens and rescue services would prod at walls and ceilings to see if they could take the weight of a person for extraction from a building etc.
At air raid incidents where electricty supplies were interrupted this emergency carbide work lamp would be used. Water would be added to the bucket to activate the calcium carbide stored inside. This would create acetylene gas which would pass up through the handle and on to the burner. It produced a bright white light, which was reflected by the shield.

Charles River Development, a provider of front- and middle-office trading solutions, has implemented its Investment Management Solution (IMS) at Thai buy-side firm Kasikom Asset Management (KAsset).
KAsset, which has US$25 billion assets under management, will use version 9 of Charles River’s IMS for order and execution management (OEMS), portfolio management and compliance. This will give the institutional investment firm the ability to automate its front- and middle-office operations across all asset classes for the 600 provident, private and mutual funds it manages. KAsset will also be able to use the Charles River Network for FIX-based electronic trading.
The OEMS module lets the firm manage, place and execute orders sent by fund managers in a real-time dashboard which supports algorithmic trading, real-time data, integrated watch lists, program trading, DMA and automated order routing. Charles River’s compliance tool will give KAsset greater flexibility to manage increased mandates by monitoring compliance throughout the trade lifecycle, including regulatory requirements, across its entire group.
"We required a single consolidated solution that could scale as our business grows," said Ampol Polohakul, executive chairman at KAsset. “Charles River IMS supports our local Thai requirements and provides us with powerful data management and integration capabilities. This has improved data quality and gives us a completely streamlined workflow from portfolio management, compliance and trade execution right through to the back-office."
"Charles River has been actively adding Thai brokers to the Charles River Network so that firms such as KAsset can take advantage of Thai-specific execution strategies and algorithms from both local and global providers via FIX,” added Cameron Field, managing director, Asia-Pacific at Charles River Development.

India has a large repertoire of sweets. Each region has its own specialties. Basically, Indian sweets are different forms of rice puddings, milk puddings, vegetables & fruits dipped in sweet syrup. Besides, there are varieties of fudge like sweets called Barfis. Indian sweets are decorated/garnished with raisins, almonds, pistachio and the like.
Some other popular Indian sweets are :- Kheer, Halwa (pudding), Rasgulla (spongy cheese balls, dipped in sugar syrup), Gulabjamun, Rasmalai, Sandesh and ladoos. 'Kulfi' is the Indian version of Ice-cream.
Most Indian sweets are made by boiling down milk to remove the moisture. It is called khoa. Adding butter, sugar and many other flavors, these are turned into barfi, malai, kheer, rasgulla and sandesh.
Shrikhand Recipe- This is a simple Indian dessert from Western India, made with strained yogurt and flavored with cardamom, and saffron and garnished with almonds and pista. It is important to use freshly ground cardamom seeds.
Tie yogurt in a clean muslin cloth overnight. (6-7 hours).
Put the yogurt into a bowl, add sugar and cardamom and mix.
Empty into a serving bowl, and garnish with nut crush.
1Wash and drain the rice. Soak in 1/2 c water for 1/2 hour. Boil the rice in the same water until it is coated and the water dries up. Add the milk and simmer on low heattill rice is well blened and consistency is that of porridge. Stir occasionally at first and then constantly when the milk begins to thicken, to prevent the ingredients from sticking to the bottom of the pan.
3. Add the sugar, almonds, ground cardamom, and raisins and cook for another 5 minutes, stirring constantly.
4. Remove from the heat and set aside. Sprinkle with the rose water.
5. Serve warm or chilled in dessert bowls.
This is natural organic vanilla ice-cream with mango puree from our store. This is easy and quick to make and a hit with the host for its convenience and with the guests for its taste.
1. Add a little ghee to a frying pan and heat to coat the pan. Roast cashew nuts until golden brown and add the raisins to the pan for a few seconds.Remove the cashews and raisins and keep aside.
2. Add the carrots to the pan and saute the carrots. Add Half and Half, and heat for about an hour. Add cardamom and starting with medium heat, stirring, and lowering the heat after the mixture starts boiling. Heat until almost dry.
3. Add sugar, mix, and continue to cook until the carrot halwa is semi dry.
4. Remove from stove and add cashews and raisins.
Soak the dates overnight. De-seed and chop into 4 pieces.
Heat ghee and saut� the raisins, cashewnuts, chironji seeds, almonds and pistachios for 2-3 minutes. Drain and mix with the chopped dry dates. Set aside.
In the same ghee, fry the vermicelli on a low flame for about 2 minutes, stirring continuously. Remove from heat and keep aside.
Boil the milk in a deep bottomed pan and add the vermicelli and sugar. Stir until the sugar dissolves. Cook uncovered on a low flame for about 10 minutes,stirring often. Add the fried dry fruits and cardamom powder, cover and cook for 3 minutes.
Serve hot or cold in individual bowls.
Mix the sugar, cardamom and water in a vessel. Bring to boil and keep on medium / low heat uncovered for 2 minute(s) stirring periodically.
Now add the water mixture. Stir well. Bring to boil and turn heat on low immediately. Keep on low heat, stirring periodically (after every minute), till the mixture is dry.
Sprinkle chopped nuts and raisins. Serve with a dollop of ice-cream.
Kahara Prasad or Temple Sweet Pudding Recipe- or a variation of the above recipe - This prasad or temple offering is given in Sikh temples during the full moon day around October-November when Guru Nanak was born, and during Guru Parab, the birthday of Guru Gobind Singh. It is a day when they rededicate themselves to unity, brotherhood and equality among all human beings. After all this religion was created to bring hindus and muslims together.
This recipe is from Gujarat, a state of desert and semi-desert which runs along India's upper west coast. If there is haute cuisine for vegetarians, it can be found here. The region's traditional dishes are an amazing combination of flavours and textures, all based on sound nutritional principles, with delicious surprises like this version of a sponge roll; the outside is sweetened coconut and the inside is pistachios. Serve slices of the roll with fresh lychees for a traditional finish to an Indian meal.
To make the filling: put the pistachios into the container of a clean coffee grinder. Grind to a coarse powder. Put the ground pistachios, sugar, poppy seeds and milk into a bowl. Mix to a paste. Put aside.
To make the coconut casing: put the sugar into a small heavy-bottomed pan. Add 4 tablespoons of water. Stir and bring to a simmer. Cook over a medium-high heat for 2-3 minutes until the syrup forms a single thread when a little is dropped from a spoon into a cup of cold water. Remove from the heat. Add the coconut and cardamom. Mix well. Add the condensed milk. Stir to mix.
Lay a 23 cm piece of cling film on your work surface. While the coconut paste is still warm, roll it into a thick 9 inch sausage. Put the coconut sausage horizontally on to the centre piece of cling film and flatten it to form a rectangle about 9 cm wide.
Roll the pistachio paste into a separate sausage of the same length. Put the rolled pistachio sausage on the coconut rectangle, slightly below the centre, a little closer to your end. With the aid of the cling film, fold the coconut paste over the pistachio paste. Press down on the cling film to firm up the roll. Now continue rolling, being careful to keep the cling film on the outside of the roll, until you have a slim "Swiss Roll". Press down evenly on the cling film to get a neat roll. Let the roll cool and harden a bit. Remove the cling film and cut crossways into 1 cm thick slices.
Make the chena with the milk and lemon juice according to the directions in the preceding recipe with this difference. Hang up the milk curds for 2 hours instead of 1/2 hour. Knead thoroughly. Make a ball and set it aside. Put the 3 cups of sugar, 6 cups of water, and the cardamom pods in a deep 9 1/2 to 10 inch skillet or saute pan. Bring to a fast simmer over a medium flame. Once the sugar has dissolved completely, turn the heat to low and let the syrup simmer gently for 2 minutes. Turn off the heat.
Flatten the ball of chhena and add the semolina as well as the rose essence to it. Knead for 5 minutes, making sure the semolina and rose essence are well mixed in. Now make 20 crack-free balls, rolling each with just a little pressure between the palms of your two hands.
Bring the syrup to a simmer over a medium flame. Drop the balls into the syrup. Bring to a simmer again. Adjust the heat so the syrup simmers gently for 5 minutes. During this period, move the balls around and turn them over occasionally, using a very gentle touch. Make sure you do not damage the balls. Turn the heat up and bring the syrup to what might be described as a furious simmer. The syrup should look like a mass of tiny moving bubbles, but it should never boil over. Sprinkle the balls with 2 tablespoons of water, cover, and cook for 10 minutes. During this period, the balls should swell up.
Uncover, sprinkle the balls with another 2 tablespoons of water, cover and cook, simmering furiously for another 10 minutes. Turn off the heat. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the balls to an empty bowl. ( the syrup can now be discarded. ) Pour the half and half over the balls and let them soak in it for 3 hours.
Take the balls gently out of the half and half with a slotted spoon and put them in another bowl. Pour the half and half into a skillet or saucepan and boil it down until you have about 2 cups left. Turn off the heat. Crush the cardamom seeds finely in a mortar and mince the pistachios. Add the crushed cardamom, the minced pistachios, and the one tablespoon of sugar to the reduced half and half. Pour this half and half over the chhena balls. Allow to cool. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, and serve cold, as a dessert along with the creamy sauce.
Rice pudding prepared with milk is more common in Bengal, but this coconut milk version, which is quicker to make, has a fragrant, sweet aroma. Since coconut has an affinity with fish, I often serve this dish after a seafood meal. Try as is, or arrange slices of fresh ripe papayas, bananas, or mangoes around the pudding.
This dessert is best enjoyed soon after it is made. If allowed to sit for several hours, it will become dry. If that happens, add a little milk (or coconut milk), reheat, and serve.
Bring rice and water to boil in a pan. Simmer, covered, until all water is absorbed and rice is tender, 20 or so minutes.
Add raisins, cashews, and cardamom. Dissolve sugar in the coconut milk and stir into the rice mixture gently, so as not to break the rice kernels. Raise heat slightly and cook uncovered until the mixture thickens, 5 to 10 minutes. Remove from heat. Let cool slightly. Garnish with pistachios and serve.
These milky-white ovals, floating in a clear sweet sauce, are irresistible.
Make sure that the fresh cheese is well drained; too much moisture may cause the dumplings to crack as they cook. Place the well drained and well kneaded cheese on a board. Sprinkle Cream of Wheat evenly over the cheese and knead again to uniformly incorporate it. Let rest a few minutes.
Make the syrup: Bring the sugar and water to a boil in a deep pan about 10 inches in diameter .. Boil for 10 minutes, then lower the heat. Place each ball on a spoon and gently lower into the syrup. Simmer, covered, 1 hour.
Transfer cham-chams and any remaining syrup to a large bowl. Let cool, then refrigerate for several hours or, for best results, up to 2 days. Sprinkle with rosewater and decorate with any remaining pistachios.
Mix top four ingredients together and cook on low heat till dry and crumbly. Add last three ingredients and blend while still warm.
Shred the coconut. Break the cashewnuts into small pieces and fry them in ghee. Powder the cardamom.
Heat water in a vessel containing 1/4 ltr. of water and add the sugar to it. After the sugary liquid is no longer thin, add the coconut shreds and heat it until it turns thick.
After sufficient stirring, add the fried cashewnut pieces and ghee and stir the mixture well. Add the powdered cardamom and mix it thoroughly and stop heating.
Pour the mixture onto a plate which could accomodate sufficient thickness. Cut into rectangular pieces while hot.
Lightly grease a medium size shallow baking pan or cookie sheet. In a large saucepan, bring the milk and oil to a boil over medium heat. Stir in the sugar and add the grated coconut and cardamom, stirring constantly for 6-8 minutes, until the coconut becomes thick and glazed. Remove from the heat and pour into the baking pan. Cool, cut into squares, and serve.
Shrikhand-Indian Yogurt Recipe - From Feast of India by Rani.
4 green Cardamon pods, husked, ground Fruit, fresh, berries, etc.
Place saffron threads in small pan and toast over low heat until brittle. Cool and crush with a rolling pin.
To serve, scoop into sundae dishes or goblets. Top with fruit of choice and garnish with almonds.
Serves 2 or 3 midgets.
Combine the water and sugar in a 3 qrt pan over moderate heat and stir constantly until the sugar is dissolved. Raise the heat and boil for 5 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the rose water or essence and set aside.
Pour ghee to a depth of 2 1/2 - 3 inches in any deep-frying vessel at least 10 inches in diameter. Place over very low heat while making your dough.
Brush a plate with a film of oil. Place the milk powder and flour on a sheet of waxed paper or in a small bowl and mix thoroughly. Combine the warm milk and 1 tsp ghee in a large mixing bowl. Sprinkle the dry mixture with one hand, stir with the other hand to make a pliable dough. Working quickly, wash and dry your hands and rub them with oil. Divide the dough into 24 portions and, exerting pressure, roll each portion between your palms into a smooth ball. Place the balls on a plate.
Raise the heat to moderately low and when the ghee reaches 215 degrees F (102 deg C), slip in the balls, one by one. They will sink to the bottom of the pan but do not try to move them. Instead, gently shake the pan to keep the balls from browning on just one side. After about 5 minutes, the balls will rise to the surface. Now they must be gently and constantly agitated with a wooden spoon to ensure even browning. After 5 minutes, the temp should increase to 220 deg F (104 deg C); after 10 minutes to 225 deg F (107 C); after 15 minutes to 230 deg F (110 C). After about 25 minutes, the balls should be golden brown and the temp between 245-250 F (118 - 121 C). Remove one ball and slip it into the syrup. If it does not collapse in 3 minutes, add the remaining balls. Otherwise, fry the balls for about 5 minutes more. The balls should soak in the syrup for at least 2 hours before serving and may be stored, well sealed and refrigerated, for up to four days. Return to room temp or warm before serving.
This is a delicious, refreshing, and easy-to-make drink for hot summer days.
Blend mango pulp, milk, and 6 ice cubes into the blender. Blend until smooth. Serve.
Mix 2 cups of water and 2 cups of Brown sugar and then boiled to a level where it is neither too sticky nor too diluted (THEEGA PAAKAM should be fine). Now with the syrup still on the stove set to low flame, add rice powder slowly to this syrup by mixing it evenly till it becomes a paste. Set this paste aside and shape into small round balls the size of a lemon and patted in the poppy seeds container and pressed flatly. Fry this in oil or ghee until brown. Drain on a paper towel.
Sift the flour and rice flour into a large bowl. Sprinkle yeast on the warm water in a small bowl, leave to soften for 5 minutes and stir to dissolve. Put saffron strands in a cup and pour the boiling water over. Leave to soak for 10 minutes.
Pour dissolved yeast and saffron with its soaking water into a measuring jug. Add tepid water to make up 2 1/4 cups. Stirring with a wooden spoon, add the measured liquid to the flour and beat well until batter is very smooth. Add yoghurt and beat again. Leave to rest for 1 hour. Batter will start to become frothy. Beat vigorously again before starting to fry jelebis. (While batter stands make syrup and leave it to become just warm).
Heat vegetable oil in a deep frying pan and when hot use a funnel to pour in the batter, making circles or figures of eight. Frying, turning once, until crisp and golden on both sides. Lift out on a slotted spoon, let the oil drain for a fews seconds, then drop the hot jelebi into the syrup and soak it for a minute or two. Lift out of the syrup (using another slotted spoon) and put on a plate to drain.
Syrup: Heat sugar and water over low heat, stirring until sugar dissolves. Raise heat and boil hard for 8 minutes; syrup should be just thick enough to spin a thread. Remove from heat, allow to cool until lukewarm, flavour with rose essence (about 1.2 tsp of good quality essence is sufficient) and colour a bright orange with food colouring.
*Jelebis are coils of crisply fried batter with a rose-scented syrup inside the coils. How the syrup gets into the coils is a mystery unless you do some research on the subject.
Sift milk powder, flour, bicarbonate of soda and ground cardamom into large bowl. Rob in butter or ghee, then add enough water to give a firm but pliable dough which can be moulded into balls the size of large marble, or into small sausage shapes.
Fry slowly in hot ghee until they turn the colour of unblanched almonds. The frying must be done over gentle heat. Drain on absorbent paper.
Have ready the syrup, made by combining, sugar, water and cardamom pods and heating until sugar is dissolved. Put the fried gulab jamun into the syrup and soak until they are almost double in size, and soft and spongy. Add rose water when they have cooled slightly. Allow to cool completely and serve at room temperature or slightly chilled.
Break the vermicelli into small pieces less than 2.5cm (1 inch) in length. They need not be uniform, but longer pieces make stirring difficult.
Heat ghee in a heavy saucepan and fry the vermicelli intil golden brown, stirring so it colours evenly. Add hot water and saffron and bring to the boil, then turn heat low, cover and simmer gently until vermicelli is cooked. Add sugar and raisins and cook uncovered until liquid is absorbed. Stir in the almonds and cardamom, stir well and serve warm with cream.
In a heavy-based saucepan or large frying pan boil the milk over fairly high heat, stirring all the time, until it is reduced and very thick. Add sugar and stir for 10 minutes on low heat. Add the ground almonds and continue to cook and stir until the mixture comes away from sides and base of pan in one mass. Remove from heat, sprinkle cardamom over and mix well. Turn on to a greased plate. Smooth top with back of butter spoon. Cool slightly, mark in diamond shapes with knife and decorate with halved pistachio nuts and sliver leaf.
Before it is quite firm cut with sharp knife along the markings then leave to get quite cold before separating into pieces.
Rub the paneer and ricotta cheese with palm of your hand until smooth and creamy. Divide into 16 balls.
Boil the sugar and water for 5 minutes over medium heat. Put the balls into the syrup and boil for 40 minutes.
Cover and continue to boil for another 30 minutes. Serve warm or cold.
Bring the milk to the boil, stirring constantly, over a high heat. Remove from heat.
Combine the water and vinegar.
Place three or four layers of cheesecloth in a sieve and strain the curdled milk through them. Ties up the ends of the cheesecloth and squeeze out as much of the liquid as possible. Hang it up to drain thoroughly.
Note: When adding the water and vinegar mixture to the milk, do not add more than necessary as this tends to harden the paneer.
Blanch (optional) and shred nuts. Mix rice flour into the milk and mix until smooth. Cook over medium heat until a creamy consistency is achieved (20-30 minutes?). Simmer and add sugar and stir for 2-3 minutes more.
Cool (in refrigerator for 30 minute) add the rose water, almonds and pistachios (maybe before it cools). Pour into individual dishes and serve.
Melt ghee in a pan. Turn down heat and add cardamom and Besan. Fry, stirring constantly to prevent burning until it has changed to a brown color and smells done. (Test: a few drops of water sprinkled on it sputters instantly).
Turn off the heat and stir in the sugar. Spread 1/2" thick onto a platter. Cut into diamond shapes after it has cooled down.
Bring the milk to a boil and add vinegar to the boiling milk to separate the whey. Throw away the liquid part by sifting the stuff onto a muslin cloth. Pour some cold water over the curd to cool and wash it. Discard the water and hang the cloth for 15-20 minutes to let the excess water drip off.
Put the curd in a food processor or blender and blend at high speed to get a smooth consistency. You may add just a little (1 tsp or so) water while blending, if the curd is too dry and will not blend. Be very careful so as not to add any extra water. Remove the paste and make small balls (1-2" in diameter).
Boil water in a wide vessel. Make sure that there is at least 2-3" of water in the vessel. If not, add more water and increase the quantity of sugar proportionately. Add sugar to the boiling water to make a light syrup.
Continue boiling the syrup and gently drop the curd balls in the boiling syrup. Cook the balls in the boiling syrup for 30-40 minutes. Remove from the heat and let the stuff cool down. Put the balls and the syrup in a storage container and refrigerate (don't freeze).

Proposals put forward by the NSW government will make it easier to extinguish strata schemes, allowing thousands of apartment buildings to undergo the redevelopment they desperately need.
In November 2013, the NSW government released a position paper on proposed reforms to strata and community law, Strata Title Law Reform.
The paper sets out over 70 changes ranging from pet ownership, smoking restrictions and occupancy limits to possible redevelopment of older and dilapidated buildings.
One of the most significant changes proposed involves a six stage process to permit the extinguishment of strata schemes with a 75% consensus of lot owners (not based on unit entitlements), thereby giving owners greater opportunity to vote and sell buildings to property developers and investors. The current law provides that a strata scheme can only be terminated with the unanimous support of all owners.
These changes would apply to all strata schemes in NSW, but are mainly targeted at older residential apartment blocks that are well past their prime.
It is predicted that the reforms would open the doors for developers and investors, particularly in the Sydney area, where there are numerous ageing and old apartment blocks very much in need of a makeover.
Another major change is the introduction of a 2% bond (based on the contract amount for the building work) to be paid by developers of strata buildings with more than three storeys. The bond must be paid as assurance that defects will be rectified.
This will add to the cost of development. However, the Urban Taskforce which represents developers has welcomed these changes by saying: "The proposed changes to the NSW Strata Act will give greater confidence to the development industry and to owners corporations that apartment buildings will be well designed and managed".
More than 14 changes are proposed to the standard strata model by-laws. The model by-laws are a set of rules which govern the use of common property by residents and are adopted by many strata schemes.
Some of the changes will give owners the ability to keep pets (such as cats, small dogs, birds and fish) without permission, which will give new hope to pet owners wishing to live in apartment buildings.
It is also proposed to amend the model by-laws to deal with cigarette smoke drift and to make it clear that cigarette smoke can be a nuisance or hazard to other residents. Pursuant to the reform, repeat balcony smokers will face steep fines.
Overcrowding has also been a constant problem in apartment living, so it is proposed to amend the model by-laws to limit the number of people who can occupy a lot to combat this issue.
These reforms will no doubt receive some political backlash from the community, as they affect the proprietary rights of unit owners.
In NSW there are currently more than 72,000 strata and community schemes. Many of these cannot be maintained by the owners and are in desperate need of redevelopment. There is no doubt that these changes will be welcomed by investors and developers. However, there will be some owners who will not want to sell, for whatever reason.
Some of the changes dealing with by-laws may be perceived as infringing on personal rights to occupy one's own home and use the common property of a strata scheme. However, they do seem to reflect the current values of Australian society.
Strata law reform - what happens next?
The NSW government is in the process of drafting a Bill to give effect to these reforms. The Bill is expected to be tabled in Parliament in early 2014.
We will provide further updates on the strata and community title law reforms as new information comes to light.

Who’s using the UK Ministry of Defence’s IP addresses?
When I first came upon a spear phishing email a few months ago which originated from the UK’s Ministry of Defence I thought that was pretty queer. Like, how ironic that an invoice scam is coming from a Defense Ministry. Do they have a bad actor? Are we on the cusp of cracking some big international cybertheft? Do we tell them?
I obscured the domain a bit. But it’s an everyday domain which every DNS server I’ve tested resolves just fine. But Microsoft doesn’t see it that way. Several test messages have shown non-delivery reports using these other addresses as well following the “Server at…”: 25.152.8.27, 25.152.16.27.
The Register sheds the most light – but it still lacks in critical details – on what might have happened to the UK Ministry of Defence’s IPv4 address space, namely, that some was sold. Here’s the article.
How do you show that all these 25.152.8.8 addresses belong to the Ministry of Defence? You use RIPE: http://ripe.net/ and do a search. It shows that 25.0.0.0/8 belongs to them. But according to the article in The Register this is no longer true as of late last year.
Why is Microsoft using these IP addresses? No idea. But something I read got me to suspecting that some outfits decided to use 25/8 address space as though it were private IP addresses!
This entry was posted in Admin, Network Technologies and tagged UK Ministry of Defence. Bookmark the permalink.
4 Responses to Who’s using the UK Ministry of Defence’s IP addresses?
how did you solve the problem with the undeliverable mails? We got the same problem!
I didn’t! Microsoft got our detailed logs and, I guess, compared it to their private info and came to the conclusion that the DNS server of the recipient domain was timing out. I had to trust them and I actually do believe them. I could indirectly query a DNS server in Asia which timed out against the domain. Microsoft’s test connection showed a problem as well. The one public DNS server in the UK I could test did not show the issue, nor did the ones in Germany, but I do think there was something funny about the way the domain owners set up their DNS – hosting the DNS servers themselves on Amazon AWS is pretty unorthodox after all. So I just dumped it back to the recipient saying essentially, fix your problem.
We got the same phishing email issue. Originating client IP of that email leads to UK Ministry of defense. Any idea what would have happened ?
Phishing email went to many people as if like it has sent from one of my colleagues email address.
We have the same problem than you. Do you know more information about that?

On Monday she had an eye exam. Krista had been wearing glasses for about two years and recently complained to her mother that she was having problems seeing. On the day of the exam the doctor reported that her vision had deteriorated three steps. With an updated prescription she went home with a new pair of glasses. “I can see again”.
On the next day, Tuesday, concerns about her excessive thirst took her to a medical clinic and following tests she was directed to a local hospital’s Emergency Department. This long day was a combination of waiting, tests, more waiting, no food, and more tests. The diagnosis – Type 1 Diabetes.
Krista turned 14 two weeks before. She is a beautiful young girl, inside and out. At the hospital that day hunger dictated by fasting periods for blood work were frustrating. Her tummy was aching, she was tired and this made her angry. Having been poked and prodded throughout the day she went home that night with instructions to return in the morning for more blood work to determine blood glucose levels, etc. More fasting. In the morning the doctor arrived later than the appointment time and then requested more blood work necessitating a longer fasting period. Her mom told me that as long as Krista is fed she is fine, so the long periods without eating were hard on her.
The greatest portion of the day on Wednesday was teaching and instruction which included body science/biological functions, dietary information, how to give insulin injections, how to pick her finger and take blood glucose readings. How to adjust the amount of insulin to the blood glucose reading, etc. This young woman was amazing in her courageous and frustrated acceptance of being diabetic, and the focused attention she gave to the wonderful nurse educator who walked her through this day with compassion and understanding.
Over the next few days, and continuing even now is expanded and reinforcing instruction with a hospital clinic and staff who are always accessible and only two blocks from home.
This is where I have to mention the angel. Krista had been experiencing noticeable excessive thirst for a period of about ten days. On the Friday prior to the Tuesday hospital admission a classmate sitting across from her commented that he noticed she was drinking a lot of fluid. He told her that he is diabetic. She didn’t know this. When she got home from school that day she mentioned it to her mother, who had also noticed this change in behaviour. Krista had no outward signs of being sick and it was this red flag that got her early treatment. Her classmate was an angel.
On the weekend I stopped by her house to see how Krista was doing and she wasn’t wearing her glasses. I questioned why. She told me “because now I can see”. It felt like a miracle to me.
Our bodies are amazing machines. In our teaching sessions we were told that diabetes progresses over a period of time, around two years before it may be diagnosed. Two years ago she got her first pair of glasses. The nurse/educator told us that as the body works to compensate the decreasing ability of the pancreas to function normally it withdraws moisture from other parts of our body. This can affect vision. She also mentioned that once the body is working more normally under the insulin protocol, vision may improve.
The biggest ongoing miracle of all is my granddaughter Krista who walks with courage, acceptance, determination and grace.
Post script: A few weeks later Krista was wearing her glasses. When I asked about it, she told me that the positive change in her vision had been temporary.

There are five levels of misdemeanor Driving While Intoxicated. Level I is the most serious and Level V the least.
Level I and II drivers are repeat offenders, persons whose license are revoked, impaired drivers, impaired drivers who are transporting young children and impaired drivers who hurt someone in a crash. Impaired drivers must complete a substance abuse assessment and comply with any recommended treatment as a condition for having their drivers license restored at the end of the revocation period.
For Habitual DWI offenders, drivers who have had three prior DWI convictions within the past seven years, DWI becomes a more severe felony. But more importantly, the Habitual DWI statute now mandates a minimum active jail term of one year -- a sentence that CANNOT be suspended. Offenders must also go through a substance abuse program while in jail or as a condition of parole.
The Governor's DWI Initiative takes away from repeat DWI offenders the means to drive while impaired; namely, their cars. Under the new provision, a law enforcement officer can seize a driver's car if the officer charges that person with DWI and that person was driving while his or her license was revoked due to a previous impaired driving offense. The seizure happens at the time of the arrest and NOT after the case has come to trial.
If a court convicts the driver of DWI and of committing the offense while driving with a revoked license due to a previous impaired driving offense, the judge will order the vehicle forfeited. The school board can then sell the vehicle and keep the proceeds, sharing the money with any other school systems in the county, or keep the car for its own use. The law does allow vehicle owners to get their cars back if they were not the driver convicted of DWI but only if they satisfy the court that they are an innocent party.
It's unlawful for the operator of a commercial motor vehicle to drink and drive. The first offense results in a 10 day disqualification to operate a commercial motor vehicle. The second or subsequent offense revokes the drivers license to operate any vehicle.
Zero tolerance for school bus and school activity bus drivers and child care vehicle drivers drivers.
It is unlawful for school bus and school activity bus drivers and child care vehicle operators (day care van etc.) to drink and drive.
Prior to the enactment of the new statutes, North Carolina had already taken a zero-tolerance stance against drivers who were under the legal drinking age who nevertheless drank or used drugs illegally and then got behind the wheel. People under age 21 simply cannot drive with any alcohol or illegally-used drugs in their systems -- period. Any amount of alcohol will result in an immediate 30 day pretrial revocation. If an underage drinking driver refuses to take such a test, he or she now need only have the smell of alcohol on the breath to be convicted of driving after drinking. Offenders will have their licenses revoked for one year but can get limited driving privileges instated by a judge if the driver was at least 18 years old at the time of the offense and did not have a prior conviction.
The Initiative also recognized North Carolina's inability to prosecute and convict someone for driving while impaired by something other than alcohol. Under the new provision, law officers can now order chemical tests for drugs. It also amends the old law to allow for the revocation of a driver's license if he or she refuses to take such a test.
All persons charged with DWI who refuse to take an Intoxilyzer test or has results of 0.08 or more, 0.04 if commercial motor vehicle, or under age 21 and the results are above 0.04, will have their license revoked immediately for 30 days. There is a limited driving privilege available after 10 days. Upon conviction of DWI for first offense, the license is revoked for one year. A limited driving privilege may be granted by the judge, but only if the driver did not hurt anyone, did not have a child under sixteen years of age in the car at the time of the drunk driving, and the driver obtains a substance abuse assessment. In order to have a license restored at the end of one year, the driver must go to treatment or school as recommended by the assessment. Upon conviction of a second offense within three years, the revocation is four years.
If the driver refuses the test, an immediate 30-day revocation is imposed and an additional one-year revocation is imposed after an opportunity for a hearing.
Even if the driver is found not guilty of DWI in court, the one-year revocation is imposed for refusing the test.
A limited driving privilege may be granted but only after a six-month revocation period.
Before 1999, North Carolina already had some of the strictest drinking and driving statutes ever adopted in the United States. The Governor's DWI Initiative has made those regulations even tougher.
In December, 1998, the cars of repeat offenders are being seized and sold with the money given to the local school system. In excess of 8,000 vehicles have been seized since then. Starting in the year 2000 any person who is convicted of DWI and has their drivers license reinstated will not be able to drink and drive. Instead of an alcohol concentration of 0.08, these drivers will lose their license if they have limits of 0.04 or higher, depending upon their driving record and if they were charged and convicted after 1 July 2001. An ignition interlock system where the car will not start if the driver has been drinking will be required for some repeat offenders. The repeat offenders are being targeted and for good reason.
In 1998, 469 people died in alcohol-related crashes on North Carolina highways. Another 10,629 were injured. The North Carolina State Highway Patrol arrested nearly 40,000 people for driving while impaired (DWI) in 1998 and more than 43,000 the year before that. The combined DWI arrests for all law enforcement agencies in North Carolina totaled nearly 80,000 for each of those two years, respectively. Though they pale in comparison to the human loss, the financial costs in lawyer fees, court costs, fines, increased insurance rates, and the like to a person convicted of DWI are also great. They range from $6,000 to $8,000 over three years. The bottom line: Never drive after drinking any amount of alcohol!
In North Carolina, it is illegal to drive a vehicle while noticeably impaired or with an alcohol concentration of 0.08 or higher. When driving a commercial motor vehicle, the limit is 0.04. The most significant aspects of the state's new DWI law make punishment more severe for the impaired driver in general and the repeat offender in particular.
Open and closed containers of all alcoholic beverages are prohibited in all commercial motor vehicles (bus, eighteen-wheeler, dump truck, etc.) except as listed below. An open container of any alcoholic beverage is prohibited in the passenger area of any motor vehicle (commercial or non-commercial) located on the highway or highway right of way - even if the vehicle is parked except as listed below.
If the seal on a container of alcoholic beverage has been broken, it is open.
"Passenger area of a motor vehicle" means the area designed to seat the driver and passengers and any area within the reach of a seated driver or passenger, including the glove compartment. In the case of a station wagon, hatchback or similar vehicle, the area behind the last upright back seat is not considered part of the passenger area.
Open containers of spirituous liquor (bourbon, gin, vodka, etc.), mixed drinks or fortified wine (wine with higher alcohol content, i.e., 17% to 24%, such as sherry or port) in the passenger area of any motor vehicle is always unlawful.
Not more than eight liters of either fortified wine or spirituous liquor, or eight liters of the two combined.
Citizens should not call the Highway Patrol for roadway conditions.

A British father and his two young children died when their car crashed on a French motorway amid fears he may have fallen asleep at the wheel.
The mother and their youngest child were in hospital on Sunday night having survived the horror smash, which happened during a family holiday.
The dead man was named locally as John Crompton, 31, from Hartlepool and it is understood his son Morgan, believed to be nine, and daughter Evielily, four, also died at the scene.
Mr Crompton’s partner Makayla and the couple’s third child, thought to be aged two, were critically injured and airlifted to a nearby hospital.
French investigators said it was possible the driver may have fallen asleep behind the wheel or was distracted by something which caused him to veer off the road.
Relatives in the close knit community in north Hartlepool were too devastated to talk yesterday but neighbours spoke of their shock at the tragedy.
The accident happened around 7:15 am local time on Sunday morning as the family’s Nissan car was travelling south on the A39 motorway between Dijon and Bourg-en-Bresse in the east of France.
The car is believed to have gone over a railing, smashed against a wall and then landed in a crumpled heap back on the road.
The three children were thrown from the car as it turned over after smashing into the wall.
The roof of the car was torn off by the impact and the vehicle was left on its side in the middle of the road, with the family's belongings strewn across the motorway.
Police said it was not clear what caused the vehicle to veer off the road and smash into the concrete wall of a motorway bridge but no other vehicle was involved in the collision.
“The crash may have been due to the driver falling asleep at the wheel or perhaps the driver was distracted by something and veered to the right,” said senior regional official Georges Bos at the crash site.
Gendarme Captain Gilles Quintaine told the Telegraph that an inquiry had been launched to determine the cause of the accident.
"We don't know how long the father had been driving for, whether he had been at the wheel all night or whether he had just got on the road this morning," he said.
"We are hoping that family members will be able to help us with that. We don't know what the family was doing in France but it looks like they were on holiday because their car was packed with luggage," he said.
In an interview with the France3 TV channel, a member of the emergency services said two of the children were dead when they arrived and the father was trapped.
Two air amublances were called to ferry the injured mother and surviving son to hospital and police closed off the motorway for several hours.
The scene was so devastating that a psychologist was brought in to counsel the two dozen rescue workers who worked at the crash site.
In Hartlepool, one neighbour, who did not wish to be named, said: "John was a big lad, he was only young. He's very much like his mum.
"It's absolutely awful. I'm just in shock."
Another neighbour said: "I knew that they were going away on holiday. It's just such a shock to be honest."
Another added: "All I heard was that they have lost a son and a daughter. I know John worked in Italy so he might have been on his way there.
"I'm just shocked. I still can't believe that it has happened to somebody we actually know."
A Foreign Office spokeswoman said: "We are providing assistance following a road traffic accident in France, in which three British nationals have sadly died and two others have been hospitalised.
"We are working closely with local authorities and supporting the families at this difficult time."
