TOP TEN - Greatest of All Times

10 - Joe Montana (American Football)


Montana was a quarterback who played the majority of his career for the San Francisco 49ers, before spending a year with the Kansas City Chiefs to see out his long and storied career. The American has a long list of achievements and honours to his name with the most impressive surrounding the Super Bowl which is a worldwide phenomenon. Montana contributed to four separate successes in the tournament, being named MVP on three of those occasions.

9 - Pele (Football)


The Brazilian is still widely regarded as one of the greatest football players of all-time and actually ranks the highest among his professional peers within this list, above the likes of Messi and Ronaldo. Pele unfortunately passed away in late 2022, but will always be remembered for his contributions to the game with an unmatched goal record and many trophies in the cabinet.

8 - Bo Jackson (American Football and Baseball)

Incredibly, Jackson excelled in not only one sport at an elite level, but two. His short career in American Football saw him represent the Los Angeles Raiders from 1987 to 1990 as a running back as he won many individual awards within the sport. Alongside his career in the NFL, Jackson was a revelation in the world of Baseball in which he spent an eight-year professional career and even played in an All-Stars game in 1990 before retiring in 1994.

7 - Jim Thorpe (Athletics, American Football, Baseball and Basketball)

Not only did Thorpe thrive in both Baseball and American Football in a similar vein to Bo Jackson, but he also won two Olympic gold medals in Athletics. These titles were taken away from him initially due to a violation in rules prior to taking part in the Olympic Games, before they were then restored to him three decades after his death. Thorpe began his Baseball career in 1913 and continued this until 1919 while also kicking-off his American Football career in 1915 which ended in 1928.

6 - Babe Ruth (Baseball)

More than likely the most well-known Baseball player of all-time is a man that sadly passed away in 1948, which is now 75 years ago and just goes to show the impact he had during his time in the sport. Ruth's career in Major League Baseball last almost two decades and in that time he won the World Series on a staggering seven different occasions. With many other career honours under his belt, the icon of the sport was inducted into the Baseball Hame of Fame in 1936 shortly after he brought his career to a close.

5 - Michael Phelps (Swimming)

The most decorated Olympian of all-time is the former swimmer, who won a total of 28 medals during his career. 23 of those medals were gold which just goes to show how prolific a performer he was at his best. Add to this a total of 27 gold medals in the World Championships and there was really no competition within the sport of Swimming when Phelps was around. He cleaned up almost all medals in sight before bowing out in 2016.

4 - Usain Bolt (Athletics)

Bolt is looked upon as the greatest sprinter ever witnessed, with the Jamaican becoming a big name in the world of Olympics in Beijing in 2008 before going on to impress in the next two versions of the Olympic Games also. Across the three tournaments, Bolt won eight gold medals with the only one he missed out on being the 4 x 100 metre relay as his team was disqualified. The 37-year-old still holds the world record for the 100 metres, 200 metres and 4 x100 metres relay to this day.

3 - Wayne Gretzky (Ice hockey)

Hockey Hall of Famer, Gretzky, may be a slight surprise to come in at third in an all-time athletes list, but he did have an incredible career in his chosen field. That chosen field was Ice Hockey, in which he spent almost a decade with the Edmonton Oilers before spending time with the Los Angeles Kings, St. Louis Blues and New York Rangers to see out his playing days. His iconic number 99 shirt was retired across the entire sport upon his retirement in tribute to the Canadian.

2 - Muhammad Ali (Boxing)

With no real competition, Ali is regarded as the greatest Boxer of all-time as the man famous for saying: "Float like a butterfly, sting like a bee," finishes second on this list. Ali won 56 of his 61 professional fights, with 36 being via knockout. With only five losses to his name, he is one of the most successful men to have ever graced the sport to this day. The light-heavyweight also won an Olympic gold medal among his many career achievements.

1 - Michael Jordan (Basketball)

The honor of being named the greatest athlete ever in this list is the former Chicago Bulls icon. Jordan is almost unanimously voted as the greatest Basketball player of all-time with his accomplishments speaking for themselves, with six NBA Championships among the best of them. His Cv is littered with personal accolades, but his six NBA Finals MVP awards to coincide with the six times he won the competition go a long way to tell you of the star Jordan was, not only in his sport, but on a global scale.

A Giant Unseen Planet is Hiding


Our Solar System is a pretty busy place. There are millions of objects moving around – everything from planets, to moons, to comets, and asteroids. And each year we're discovering more and more objects (usually small asteroids or speedy comets) that call the Solar System home.


Astronomers had found all eight of the main planets by 1846. But that doesn't stop us from looking for more. In the past 100 years, we've found smaller distant bodies we call dwarf planets, which is what we now classify Pluto as.


The discovery of some of these dwarf planets has given us reason to believe something else might be lurking in the outskirts of the Solar System.     READ MORE...

Born Liars

 

We may not like to hear this, but most Americans, if not all, are born liars...


Let that sink in for a minute...  then think about this:

  • What do we tell our children about Santa Claus?
  • What do we tell our children about the Easter Bunny?
  • What do we tell our children about the Tooth Fairy?
In my opinion, we are subliminally teaching our children to lie, and we expect them to lie to their children as well.

  • We keep other secrets from our children because we do not think they are old enough to know the truth.
  • We withhold information from our spouses for a variety of reasons but never really ask ourselves why we do this.
  • We lie to our subordinates at work about future plans that the company may have.
  • We lie to ourselves when we intentionally break the speed limit or keep data off our IRS taxes.

When we go to college, we find out that our high school teachers did not tell us the exact truth regarding the history of this country or of a particular state.  The lie was written into the textbooks and the teachers perpetuated the lie.

Politicians and elected officials do not always tell us the truth because they perceive that the general public will go into a panic.   After a few years of doing this, lying becomes an expected behavior.

There are blatant omissions in the bible that our ministers, pastors, and priest help to cover up by convincing us to believe in the what the bible says regardless of the inconsistencies.  They also continue to lie to us about heaven and hell as well as offering no scientific proof of creation.

Company CEOs and Boards lie to the employees about what is planned for the company ten years in the future and plant managers lie to employees that their decisions are not based upon what is best for stockholders.

Everywhere we turn...  EVERYONE IS LYING...

Legalizing Human Composting by 2027


Guests sit in the gathering space looking at a shrouded mannequin in front of the threshold vessel at Recompose, a green funeral home specializing in human composting, also known as natural organic reduction, terramation, or recomposition at Recompose Seattle on October 06, 2022 in Seattle, Washington. (Mat Hayward/Getty Images for Recompose)





California has already voted to legalize the composting of human remains in 2027, but some residents are not willing to wait that long.

The Los Angeles Times wrote about California resident Blaire Van Valkenburgh being one of a growing number of residents composting the remains of their loved ones, "But this kind of burial — natural organic reduction — won’t be legal in California until 2027, so Van Valkenburgh paid to fly her husband’s body to Washington, the first state to legalize human composting in 2020."

Until 2027, it appears that there will be a budding industry of collaboration to facilitate compost burials for those who live in California. "[I]n the first of what will probably be other such collaborations, the family-owned Clarity Funerals and Cremation in Anaheim has partnered with Return Home to offer a package deal for people in Southern California who want to compost their loved ones in Washington," the LA Times wrote.     READ MORE...

How to Make the Perfect Pancake

GEMMA'S BIGGER BOLDER BAKING


Well bakers, my Perfect Buttermilk Pancakes recipe here to answer all of your questions, troubleshoot all of your pitfalls, and ensure that every time you have that pancake craving — you can deliver with Perfect Buttermilk Pancakes. Light, fluffy, and golden brown crisp edges, My Perfect Buttermilk Pancakes are so amazing you might not even need syrup!

I have tried every recipe under the sun for American-style pancakes and hands down this is the best recipe I have. To say that it’s tried and tested is an understatement. I used to have a breakfast catering business in San Francisco where I would create elaborate, over-the-top breakfasts (sound familiar?).



The Road To The Perfect Buttermilk Pancakes From Scratch


I had never made buttermilk pancakes before, but I was determined to master the Perfect Buttermilk Pancake Recipe because I wanted to make those thick stacks of fluffy, light pancakes that you got in diners. I was convinced that everyone was using a boxed pancake mix and that’s how they got perfect pancakes every time. I am actually pretty sure most diners do use a box mix, however — that’s not for me.

God bless the poor guinea pigs I catered for because regardless of the result they ate them. But without my hungry audience and the demand for “bigger and bolder” breakfasts, I never would have created Red Velvet Pancakes with Cream Cheese Frosting, Churro Waffles, and Cinnamon Roll Pancakes.

Where it all started, though, was this basic, humble recipe for fluffy Buttermilk Pancakes.

Why You Need Buttermilk To Make Pancakes
The tangy flavor of buttermilk is not the only reason it’s important in creating the perfect buttermilk pancake. Buttermilk actually helps to activate the baking soda or raising agent in the pancake batter. This means before the pancake even hits the heat, it’s being made light and fluffy and bubbly from within the batter.

Buttermilk also acts as an acid, eating away at the flour or gluten in the pancakes. This is what makes these homemade pancakes so tender and soft.


How To Make Buttermilk Pancakes
Making good pancakes is an art, despite the simple ingredients. When making your batter, lumps are your friends. And when cooking your pancake, bubbles are your pals.

You don’t need a store-bought mix to make this best buttermilk pancake recipe. So get out your measuring cups, it’s time to start baking (and don’t forget to get the full recipe with measurements, down below):First, melt the butter and set it aside to cool.
In a large bowl, mix together flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Basically, you’re adding all of your dry ingredients and wet ingredients separately, before combining them together.
Whisk together buttermilk, eggs, and vanilla extract in a jug.
Slowly add the liquid to the dry mix. Mix the wet ingredients into the dry, but don’t overmix. While mixing the batter, spell out the word “pancake” in your head and then stop mixing. That should be enough time for mixing.

  • Slowly drizzle in the melted butter and stir another. three times. Remember that lumps are your friends.
  • Put in the fridge for 10 minutes. The cooling process allows the butter to chill and bubbles to form in your batter.
  • Put a griddle on medium-low heat.
  • Spoon a big spoonful of batter for each pancake onto the griddle.
  • Cook for four minutes on one side. When you start to see bubbles forming on the top of the pancake, flip it.
  • After you’ve flipped the pancake, cook for a bit longer than four minutes, until you’ve got yourself a golden pancake with hints of brown.
  • Enjoy with butter. After taking your first bite, you will have loved this recipe.
How To Mix The Perfect Pancake Batter?
There is a skill to making the Perfect Buttermilk Pancake Recipe. After making thousands of them, I have mastered it. It comes down to 2 very simple things: mixing the pancakes and mixing in your melted butter.




Tips And Tricks For Making Homemade Buttermilk Pancakes Don’t overmix your pancakes. The less you mix, the thicker and fluffier they will be. All of those lumps that you are worried about will disappear when the pancakes rest.


Let the dough rest in the fridge for 20 minutes before you use it. This allows the butter to set, so when they hit the hot griddle the butter will create steam, and steam evaporates and creates bubbles! Boom! Science lesson.


FAQs About Buttermilk Pancakes

  1. Why does my pancake batter look lumpy, did I do something wrong? Nope! If your batter is a little lumpy, then your pancake will come out nice and fluffy.
  2. How can I make my batter not be runny? I’d recommend slowly pouring in the liquids instead of adding more flour.
  3. Can I substitute the flour? Yes! You can substitute the all-purpose flour with whole wheat flour and just adjust the amount of liquid that goes into it.
  4. How many calories in a pancake? In this recipe, there are 143 calories per pancake.

Light, fluffy, and golden brown crisp edges, my best Buttermilk Pancakes are o amazing you might not even need syrup!
Author: Gemma Stafford
Servings: 8


Ingredients
4 tablespoons (2oz/57g) butter, melted
2 cups (10oz/280g) all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
3 tablespoons sugar
1 teaspoon salt
2 cups (16 fl oz/ 1/2 litre/480ml) Buttermilk
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. First, melt the butter and set it aside to cool.
  2. Mix together the flour, baking powder, soda, sugar, and salt in a large bowl.
  3. In a jug, whisk together the buttermilk, eggs, and vanilla extract.
  4. Add the liquid to the dry mix and starting lightly mixing together. The secret to thick, fluffy pancakes is not to over mix. My trick is to stir it enough times to spell P.A.N.C.A.K.E, and then stop.
  5. Slowly drizzle in the cooled butter and stir another 3 times. Lumps are ok, resist the urge to mix more
  6. Put in the fridge for 10 minutes. This helps the butter to chill and bubbles to form in your batter.
  7. Put a heavy bottom frying pan or griddle on medium-low heat.
  8. Spoon one big spoon of the batter per pancake.
  9. Cook for roughly 4 minutes on one side. It is time to turn them over when you see bubbles forming on the top of the pancake and the edges turn color (forming bubbles on top is really important because they hold your pancake up and keep it thick, I call them pancake pillars :))
  10. Flip and cook for another on the other side a little longer, until brown. Enjoy with butter and maple syrup.
