Tender-fork braised pork meat is a popular pork recipe that can be used as a sandwich filling. Known as pulled pork, this preparation involves “tender, slow-cooked pork that is pulled apart into pieces and often prepared with a barbecue sauce,” according to the Merriam-Webster Dictionary, hence the name.
The meat cut used as pulled pork is Boston butt (also shoulder butt) or picnic shoulder, both of which come from the pork shoulder. To get the meat to be tender and savory, it can be braised in liquid, roasted in the overn for four hours, or cooked in a slow-cooker along with the sauce and spices.
The United States Department of Agriculture’s (USDA) fresh pork safe cooking chart suggests braising the boneless Boston butt (weighing about 3 to 6 pounds) for 2 to 2½ hours. Pulled pork can also come from the whole hog, slow-cooked for about 10 hours over a pit with live charcoal. Once done, the pork is so tender it can be pulled apart.
Pulled pork may be eaten as is or as a hearty sandwich filling complete with sauce. The Food Timeline further defines pulled pork: “Slow cooked pork (on grill or in oven) with moisture (water, bbq sauce) results in a product that can easily separate (pulls) into strings (sinews). Pork is then cut, sauced and served (generally) in sandwich form.”
Indeed, the best way to consume pulled pork is to make the pulled pork sandwich. The cooked meat is heaped on a bun and doused with a special barbecue sauce. The bread can be any of the following: Kaiser rolls, hamburger buns, potato rolls or dinner rolls.
In a Time Magazine on “A Brief History of Barbecue,” writer Claire Suddath mentions Memphis, Tennessee as being renowned for its pulled pork sandwich with a sweet tomato-based sauce. everythingpork.com/popular-pork/pulled-pork-sandwiches/

From the Inside Flap of Hardbound EditionLewis B. Puller, Jr.--the son of "Chesty" Puller, a hero of World War II and the Korean War and the most decorated marine in the corps history--grew up in a family whose strongest tradition was that of serving one's country. Upon graduation from college at the height of the Vietnam War, young Lewis almost inevitably joined the Marine Corps, and his firm intention of commanding infantry troops was fulfilled with a tour of duty in Vietnam in the summer of 1968. A few months later, he returned home to his wife and soon-to-be-born child missing his left leg above the knee, his right leg at the torso, most of his left hand, and a thumb and a finger of his right hand. Lewis Puller would never walk again, though he would complete law school, serve on President Ford's Clemency Board, and run for Congress from Virginia. He would also live with nightmares about his wounding in Vietnam, daytime horrors of feeling that he had been "used up and discarded" and a growing dependence on alcohol. But amid his struggles both mental and physical, Lewis Puller's greatest challenge was to wrestle with his father's legacy, to attempt to come to terms with both its honor and its snares: "If I could now summon the courage to forgive my government, to forgive those whose views and actions concerning the war differed from mine, and to forgive myself, I could perhaps move into the present, attain a degree of serenity, and find the reason for which I had been spared, first in Vietnam and then a second time, an alcoholic death." Lewis Puller's is a story of the contradictory forces of family tradition and individual experience, and the strains of deep feeling--personal, political, and professional--that have riven our country for almost two decades and that still play themselves out among hundreds of thousands of veterans. Lewis Puller has overcome physical and psychological obstacles that few have faced: fewer still have told their stories more openly, more honestly, or more devastatingly.

Thaipusam (Tamil: தைப்பூசம்) is a Hindu festival celebrated mostly by the Tamil community on the full moon in the Tamil month of Thai (Jan/Feb). It is also referred to as Thaipooyam or Thaippooyam in the Malayalam language. The word Thai-pusam is derived from the month name Thai and Pusam, which refers to a star that is at its highest point during the festival. The festival commemorates both the birthday of Murugan (also Subramaniam), the youngest son of god Shiva and his wife Parvati, and the occasion when Parvati gave Murugan a vel (spear) so he could vanquish the evil demon Soorapadman.
Origin
Skanda (or Murugan) was created during one of the battles between the Asuras and the Devas. At one point, the latter were defeated several times by the former. The Devas were unable to resist the onslaught of the Asura forces. In despair, they approached Shiva and entreated to give them an able leader under whose heroic leadership they might obtain victory over the Asuras. They surrendered themselves completely and prayed to Shiva. Shiva granted their request by creating the mighty warrior, Skanda, out of his own power or Achintya Shakti. He at once assumed leadership of the celestial forces, inspired them and defeated the Asura forces.
Kavadi
Thaipusam burdensKavadi Attam is a dance performed by the devotees during the ceremonial worship of Murugan, the Tamil God of War.[1] It is often performed during the festival of Thaipusam and emphasizes debt bondage. The Kavadi itself is a physical burden through which the devotees implore for help from the God Murugan.[2]
Generally, Hindus take a vow to offer a kavadi to idol for the purpose of tiding over or averting a great calamity. For instance, if the devotee's son is laid up with a fatal disease, he would pray to Shanmuga to grant the boy a lease of life in return for which the devotee would take a vow to dedicate a kavadi to Him.
Preparations
Vel kavadiDevotees prepare for the celebration by cleansing themselves through prayer and fasting. Kavadi-bearers have to perform elaborate ceremonies at the time of assuming the kavadi and at the time of offering it to Murugan. The kavadi-bearer observes celibacy and take only pure, Satvik food, once a day, while continuously thinking of God.
On the day of the festival, devotees will shave their heads undertake a pilgrimage along a set route while engaging in various acts of devotion, notably carrying various types of kavadi (burdens). At its simplest this may entail carrying a pot of milk, but mortification of the flesh by piercing the skin, tongue or cheeks with vel skewers is also common.
The simplest kavadi is a semi circular decorated canopy supported by a wooden rod that is carried on the shoulders, to the temple. In addition, some have a small spear through their tongue, or a spear through the cheeks. The spear pierced through his tongue or cheeks reminds him constantly of Lord Murugan. It also prevents him from speaking and gives great power of endurance. Other types of kavadi involve hooks stuck into the back and either pulled by another walking behind or being hung from a decorated bullock cart or more recently a tractor, with the point of incisions of the hooks varying the level of pain. The greater the pain the more god-earned merit.
Celebrations
Nel Parai AlappuIn Palani, Tamil Nadu, India, Thai Pusam is celebrated with grandeur. Thousands of devotees flock to Palani and attend kavadi. According to palani.org, "The number of kavadis reaching Palani for Thai Pusam is about 10,000. For Pankuni Uttiram, 50,000 kavadis arrive. It is kavadi to your right, kavadi to your left, kavadi in front of you, kavadi behind you, kavadi above you and kavadi below you."[3]
In Vaikom, Kerala, India, Thai Pusam festival is conducted with Kaavadis at Udayanapuram Subramanya temple. Devotees take panchamritha kaavadi, paal kaavadi, bhasma kaavadi etc.
In Karamana, Thiruvananthapuram, Kerala, India, Thai Pusam festival is conducted at Satyavageeswara temple. The utsava moorthy is taken in procession on a vahanam(mount). There is nel(Paddy)parai alappu or Nel alavu, as a ritual performed for good luck and prosperity.
In Nallur, Jaffna, Sri Lanka, Thai Pusam festival is conducted at Nallur Kandhasamy Temple. Many Tamil devotees irrespective of religion take part in celebrations. Even Tamils from Roman Catholic faith and Muslims take part in Thai Pusam celeberations and take Kavadis.

.I DOUBLE dare you!!! Yap, Donny thought it was fun to pull his own fingers...it works just like the adult version, coz we had to check his diaper MULTIPLE times last night...thinking he went a big no.2...no, turns out he was just pulling his fingers...
so ive basically had trichotillomania my whole life.
my mom told me that when she breastfed me she would have to put a barbie doll over her shoulder so that i could play with its hair because i always tugged at hers and i fell asleep rubbing my hair inbetween my fingers.
i remember in 3rd grade i pulled chunks of hair out and my friends thought it was cool cuz it didnt hurt.
thats pretty much all that i can remember from my childhood experiences with trich..and it wasnt anything major or anything that caused great concern.
but once i got into jr high.. thats when things got worse.
in 7th grade i would just pull off my split ends.. but every girl did it so i didnt think anything was wrong with me. by the end of 7th grade i was pulling out strands of hair that "felt different" (hairs that were coarse, curly, dark, etc.)
my parents started to notice a buuunch of hair in piles by the computer and by the tv.
they thought that i was pulling out my dolls' hair but i finally broke down and told them that it was my own once i saw a bald spot. my mom called the doctor and i was diagnosed with trichotillmania.
in 8th grade i would sit in class and just pull and pull and not pay attention and i would end up with piles of hair on the floor by my desk once the bell rang.
i was soo embarassed to get down on my knees and gather it up, trying to make it look like i dropped something.
my trich only got worse from there.
i was so depressed and so stressed and i ended up with so many bald spots that i refused to go to school.
my mom called my principal and told her what i was going through and luckily she sympathized with me and let me wear hats to school.
the other students questioned why i got to wear hats and i just told them that i was cool. (hahaha.)
one day at lunch a girl pulled my hat off and saw the bald spot. i ran into the bathroom crying and didnt come out till my friend came in and told me to tell her what was going on.
i did and she was the only person who knew besides my family.
i started wearing extensions with my hats to make it looks like i had more hair.
noone said anything after that.
at least not to my face.
the summer of 9th grade, i decided to try to stop.
IMPOSSIBLE.
but i did the best i could and on vacation i cut my hair all short (except for 2 long pieces(not strands) on each side of my head.. yeah, it looked weird but i thought that maybe i could say that it was a fashion statement )and stopped wearing hats.
luckily my hair grew alot and through alot of my family yelling "HANDS DOWN!" and alot of tears and alot of sitting on my hands, my hair grew out juuust a bit.
(going to finish later..have to go and do homework)
