Traditional Lebanese Hummus Recipe
Traditional Lebanese Hummus Recipe
1 cup dry garbanzo beans (chickpeas)
¾ cup sesame seeds
2 garlic cloves
¼ cup lemon juice
A few lugs of olive oil
1 T cumin seeds
Rinse the chickpeas and soak them overnight, covered with ample water.
Drain them of their soaking liquid.
Place them in a pot and cover with fresh water. Bring the water to a boil and cook the chickpeas until they are cooked through and soft, about 1½ hours.
Drain them, place in a bowl, and cover with cold water. Remove as many of the skins that have come loose during cooking as possible.
Meanwhile, toast the sesame seeds in a dry skillet over low heat. Cool them off on a plate, and then grind them up in a mini blender for about 5 minutes, or until they form a smooth paste (tahini). This will be more tahini than you will use, but it is better to make a lot and save the rest for other uses.
Toast the cumin seeds and grind them to a powder.
Mash up some garlic with salt in a food processor.
Add in the chickpeas and pour in some olive oil to get the paste started. Continue blending, adding some more olive oil and the lemon juice. Season with salt, and add in the cumin.
If you feel that you are adding too much oil, you can alternate with some cold water.
Serve in a bowl, with a slight concave meniscus filled with olive oil and loose chickpeas.
Makes about 2 cups.
Add in paprika for a smoky flavor.
Add in cilantro or jalapenos for a spicier version.
I've read this a couple of times, and the ammount of tahini you're supposed to add in escapes me. Isn't there a certain ammount you should add in, like 1 tablespoon or something, or is it to taste? Bacause I've never made this and have no idea. Thanks.

Pure Prairie Farm was founded by Bill & Izabella in 2010 to grow high quality fruits and vegetable for the local market. We are passionate about agriculture, good land stewardship and food. We believe that everyone should have access to safe, nutrient dense, locally grown food.
We wish to (RE) connect people to freshness and flavorful. Something familiar but milder, juicier, sweeter, crunchier …a unique color or different texture. We work hard to grow food that is delicious, healthy and nourishing. We strive to achieve this by applying advanced soil and plant fertility, use minerals and advanced biological products.
Our vegetable selections expand yearly, often with several unusual and lessen known heirloom varieties tucked amongst customer favorites. We also have been looking forward to expanding to fruit; not just more melons and cantaloupe but strawberries, apples, pears, raspberries and pretty much anything that our midwest climate can handle. People love their sweets and we want to be able to provide it to them.
We sell our produce mostly direct to consumer at farmers markets, through our community supported agriculture shares (csa), our farmstand in St. Charles. We also work with some restaurants, caterers, canners and other food professionals in the Fox Valley Area and surrounding communities. We are continuing to grow more and build our network and expose more people to locally grown, sustainability raised foods out sometime and see for yourself the superb freshness of real food with real home grown flavor that can deliciously awaken your palate and enliven your plate

Telecom enables six sites in central Auckland with carrier aggregation technology
Posted on 26-May-2014 10:58.
Filed under:
Telecom is making carrier aggregation (CA) technology live on six of its 4G mobile sites. Telecom has worked with technology partner Huawei to bring this new potential to New Zealand.
Carrier aggregation allows mobile users to access two mobile spectrum bands simultaneously over their mobile devices – the combination giving them a significant increase in data speeds.
The technology is so advanced that Telecom's mobile network has arrived ahead of device capability, but Telecom expects to have CA-capable devices commercially available on its network by the end of this year or early next year. Chief Operating Officer David Havercroft says when CA devices do come to market, Telecom customers will be able to take advantage of "phenomenal" data speeds straight away.
"This sets up the Telecom network to stay right out front when it comes to future technology.
"Carrier aggregation on our network allows for theoretical peak speeds of 300Mbps, and our testing has seen speeds on live sites of up to 260Mbps download. This is roughly double the theoretical peak speeds on our existing 4G network, and more than seven times the theoretical peaks available on 3G.
"Obviously when we have multiple users on the network in the real world, these speeds will come down, but the technology will still make a big difference to how people can use their mobiles, tablets and any other CA-capable smart devices – downloading high definition videos and uploading large files, for example, will happen in seconds."
Mr Havercroft said that over the coming months his team would continue to test the network and refine the customer experience, in anticipation of CA-capable devices coming to market.
Telecom launched its 4G network in November 2013 in Auckland, Wellington and Christchurch. It has recently announced it is extending 4G capability to a number of other New Zealand towns over the next few months, including Dunedin, Rotorua, Blenheim and Nelson.
Telecom is also about to begin a non-commercial customer 4G trial in the Waikato using the 700MHz spectrum, which the government is currently auctioning off for use in mobile services. The 700MHz spectrum will be important in bringing affordable 4G mobile data services to most of New Zealand, as it delivers greater reach and enhanced in-building coverage over other higher band frequencies. This makes it more efficient to build and ideally suited for delivering 4G services in regional areas.
Telecom carrier aggregation uses 20MHz of the 1800MHz spectrum band and 20MHz of the 2600MHz spectrum band.

I agree completely! Doctor/rose romance DNW.
That was my submission, btw. Rose/Nine, Rose/Jack/Nine. For sure. I kind of buy the theory that since Rose kissed Nine before he regenerated, and because Rose was in the TARDIS when he regenerated into Ten, that Ten's regeneration was influenced by her presence. It's like Ten is Her Doctor, and not really The Doctor. I don't think he really became The Doctor until the fourth season when he was traveling with Donna.

The World's Most Popular Bookcase:
Best Uses of the IKEA Expedit
If you love looking at pictures of interiors like we do, you'll probably see a few of the same pieces crop up over and over, design classics like the Eames lounge or Harry Bertoia's wire chairs. But one of the most ubiquitous pieces has a humbler pedigree (and a much lower price point). It's the IKEA Expedit, and it's taking the world of storage by storm.
The genius of the Expedit is in its simplicity — the deep square shelves make it suitable for storing practically anything, and the extra thickness of the outside frame gives the unit a pleasingly solid appearance that belies its low price tag.
The simple design, and the fact that the shelving units come in a huge variety of sizes — 2x2, 2x4, 4x4, 5x5 — make the Expedit adaptable to many different kinds of spaces, and almost infinitely hackable. Below are some of our favorite Expedit spottings from our Apartment Therapy house tours, and from all over the web.
From Apartment Therapy:
1. From Jon and Tyke's California cabin.
2. From Shane and Andrew's California Home.
3. Expedit + milk crates = quirky, budget storage solution, as seen in Christi's creative and crafty Austin apartment.
4. An Expedit makes a perfect room divider in deRaismes' tiny, beautifully textured studio apartment.
5. A white Expedit melds nicely with the black and white palette in Stefanie and Taylor's Washington, DC digs.
6. Expedits provide storage for a home office in Alexis and Josh's San Francisco apartment.
7. Sleek storage in Irene's home office.
8. In the Midcentury mix at Katherine and Jem's Chicago Apartment.
9. As a TV stand in Lauren and Kevin's Chicago apartment.
10. An Expedit helps to fill a large wall in Nick and Rachel's Brooklyn loft.
From the Web:
1. A supersized Expedit in a children's space. From Scandinavia with Love via Apartment Therapy.
2. What's better than one Expedit? Two Expedits, stacked on top of each other. We highly recommend this, if you have the ceiling height. Image from The Decorologist.
3. A whole wall of Expedits has a custom, built-in look. Painting the back of the bookcases to match the ceiling ties the room together. Image from Mires Paris via Lamps Plus.
4. An artist's studio from Desire to Inspire.
5. Expedits in a stylish white-on-white office by Lloyd Ralphs Design, via Canadian House and Home.
6. An Expedit is the perfect size for holding records, like in the Paris apartment of Leslie David, seen on Freunde von Freunden.
7. Adding a mirror behind your Expedit kicks it up a notch. Home of Naomi Stein, from Design*Sponge.
8. Two Expedits make a cozy nook around a bed, as seen in Skona Hem.
9. This black Expedit has a certain dark glamor. From Rue.
10. Stacked Expedits and books by color from Bright Bazaar.
11. An Expedit behind a couch is good for storage in small spaces; put items you don't need to access frequently on the lower shelves. Home of Sharilyn Wright, as seen on Cafe Mom.
12. This guy took an IKEA Expedit, rejiggered the shelves, and mounted it on the wall. Now it's something completely different. IKEA Hackers via Apartment Therapy.
13. An Expedit in a home office from Better Homes and Gardens.
14. Books in the bedroom — what could be better? Image from My Favorite and My Best.
15. Stacked Expedits make great storage in a mudroom or closet, like in this black and white apartment seen on French by Design.

The versatility of the expedit just can't be beat!
And don't forget the use as a two-sided wall in Rachel Doriss' House Tour!
I am so tired of the expedit. i know it's functional but its ubiquity is nausea-inducing. No matter what hacks you make to one, it always looks like an expedit to me.
Surprised there are no examples with vinyl records.
I would love, love, love to rid us of our 3 (!!) bursting full expedits but alas, there just doesn't seem to be another functional, minimal solution that isn't custom. So long as you set them up right, they are perfect for keeping vinyl neat and supporting the weight of many records.
Just realized I missed the photo of the Paris apartment with records. Oops.
I was just telling my husband the other day that I think the Expedit is one of the most iconic furniture pieces of our generation. While sometimes I hate it because of it's ubiquity, it's usefulness and price point cancel that out, and now we're the proud owners of two.
This one is also a great use of the Expedit http://gallery.apartmenttherapy.com/photo/070609-robertsny/item/54579
I have three 5x5 and not tired at all! They are in my almost finished craft room and they work perfectly for all my magazines - patterns - books and craft supplies. And they works as room dividers as well, on the other side there's a gym.
will post soon on my DIY blog :) - Donatella
I have a friend that has one and he uses all but the top row to house/display his collection of laserdiscs. The top row is for displaying his movie replicas/props. It took a long time to convince him to do it. The end result was fantastic!
I wish they'd add to the high gloss choices, currently red, gray & white, with orange, kelly green, etc. Yes, I know I could DIY, but it would never come out the same.
bench seating is what I hope to do with some expedit some day!
What I did with the Expedit, which I actually haven't seen before is create a really functional cash wrap station for my small retail store. Pictures can be seen at Facebook.com/IHeartHandmadeVentura
I like the expedit but the floors in our old (but huge and cheap and wonderfully located) apartment are so uneven and there's no good wall to put it against without it just taking up way too much space. We have the 8x8 one and I don't want it anymore and my husband just will not let me get rid of it.
We used a 1x5 in our master closet. Works perfect for storing sweaters and jeans. http://www.storefrontlife.com/master-bedroom-closet-part-2/
wow, the benches would be perfect for my parent's dining room, great suggestion truenic! banquet is the only way to make room in their tiny dining room for our big family, but we've put off that project because making it would be such a pain. this could be done in a few hours... toss in some fresh table linens, a coat of paint and some throw pillows for optimum comfort and it would absolutely transform the space.
We really wanted to get this for our kids bedroom and I am a huge fan of IKEA. And yet when I saw it in person, I wasn't sold and I cannot put my finger on why. I don't know if if was the finish or the construction of the materials it was made from. Something didn't resonate. Which was really disappointing b/c I really do like how it looks in most of the examples.
We bought a white one, turned it on its side and use it to display and store toys in our sons play room and it works beautifully. Plus he can reach everything out of the bins we use in 4 of the 8 slots.
northstory: I get the same feeling. I tell myself how practical it would be, and how great it looks in other people's photos, where they've worked magic on it, and every time I resolve to buy one, I can't.
It truly is the only thing we could find to store our vast collection of vinyl. It's like it was made for that exact purpose.
I'm into it. In fact, I made a hand-embroidered quilt featuring the expedit assembly instructions:
Freaky. I look up from my desk and see almost the exact same set-up as image #1. Except my Expedit is the brown/black and the cowhide rug is dark brown and white. And the basket is green.
While I'd love to have built-ins or some other high-design options, you just can't beat the Expedit for practicality at a democratic price point.
I'd love an alternative but they *are* cheap and easy to customise. We were looking for shelving for the enormous amount of books we have for our new house. I looked at Vitsoe's website and it's going to be an Expedit for awhile as £130 is a lot more reasonable than £1,600.
They may be ubiquitous but it's for a good reason!
Best use of bookshelf: shelve books
I used my Expedit in the bedroom closet that my two boys share. I removed the sliding doors and placed the Expedit inside, with enough room on either side for the occasional dress shirt or pants. I then hung some fabric from the top of the closet to hide the storage shelf behind it.
I wish Ikea would make different boxes that fit.
And yes I've looked at many other stores, but couldn't find what I am looking for.
Brittany, that is seriously the coolest quilt I've ever seen. In fact, I called my husband over to take a look and he agrees. This is coming from someone whose mother is an avid quilter and would be upset to hear me say that, ha ha.
Love books and love bookcase.
In everyone of these pics, the Expedites disappear because of all the other cool stuff or features in the rooms. Tall lamp in pic 2 is my main WANT. The Ex appears to be a very functional piece but how good it will look still partly depends on the stuff going in it. If you fill it with crap, it'll still look like crap, albeit coralled.
My husband and I use a 5 x 5 expedit with baskets as a dresser, since we have a very small bedroom closet. I love it. It's huge, and there are 25 "drawers" so clothes stay organized.
Sherry and John at Young House Love posted this last week:
Jenny--thanks so much.
I have a dark brown expedit entertainment center and love it in my traditionalish living room. These are all pretty modern/white which is fine but expedit is more adaptable than that.
I use a white 4x4 one as a dresser in my bedroom too! Instead of drawers I bought the doors and bought 16 nice doornknobs at Butler's. It does not look like an Expedit and has a stunning capacity for jeans, sweaters, t-shirts...
My first Expedit is arriving tomorrow and I'm so excited. Although I'll be honest, it feels like an organizational gateway drug!
Who cares if everyone has an expedit? I have several because they fit my stuff well - really well, unlike most other bookshelves. And yes, I like the way they look and their infinite versatility.
I absolutely LOVE the Expedit. Best bookcase ever. Love how the white ones disappear into the wall so that your collectibles or whatever pops. I currently have a large one in my bedroom that holds books, storage and collectibles perfectly. I plan on sneaking a few smaller ones into my living room at some point. There is a reason so many people have them -- they are awesome!
I took the plunge into Expedit and am so glad I did! I am a book nerd and wanted lots of shelves for my living room, but I'm on a student budget. I bought three 2x4 high gloss white ones, and laid them on their sides to line an entire wall in my living room. They look built in and provide so mich room for all of my stuff. I don't think they can be beat for the pricepoint. I also like that they're deeper than most other bookshelves, so my coffee table books can actually fit in them!
The Expedit bookcase has so many great uses. What a nice collection of photos. But I'm such a big advocate of removing anything made from plastics and particleboard from our breathing space in our home, that I just can't get behind stores like Ikea.
These photos give me some great ideas, though, so thanks for this fun post!
I love the Expedit. I've had a dark brown 4x4 for over 6 years now and it's been perfect. It was easy to build, worked well as a room divider and shelf against the wall. I didn't do any hacks to mine but love it just the same. Here are some pics
the one in my dining room. I've re-arranged the content since the photo
In my office I have a 2x4 light wood with two desk attachments. I've love to see more photos on the expedit desk attachments, I don't see many.
I have three; all from CL, each under $30. Two 5x5, one 2x4. My textile studio big one is full of yarn organized by color... Very helpful! The other big one is in the kitchen, with the vintage dishes of course. I'm downsizing the dishes, so the unit will go away... Probably on CL, for $30...
I have to admit I love the Expedit, over-used or not. It's a practical piece that has never sagged, despite being completely packed with heavy books - a rarity for a cheap bookcase. I hacked mine by adding swinging abstract art to a few cubbies to hide unsightly clutter.
Ah hell. It's already an annoying day. Here's the ACTUAL link to my Expedit Hack!!
When i lived in Boston, a roomate and I ended up splitting a LARGE studio. It was about 30x30, and it was just a giant open space with a restroom off to one corner, and the kitchen off to the other.
We bought 4 or five large Expedits, put them all on heavy duty casters, and they became our walls. WHen we have friends over/threw a party, we'd just move the wallsk out of the way, and use them to keep our bedroom stuff out of sight. Since then , i've really come to miss living in a house with totally modular walls.
Love the Expedit! We have the OG version, with the TV shelf-- it fit the entire length of our apartment's wall for two years, creating a gorgeous wall of books and DVDs. Have to unfortunately get rid of ours now as it doesn't fit with the design plan of our new place. I know we're new on here, and though I didn't read anything in the policy about not posting items for resale or upcycle, hope sharing our craigslist posting is okay! http://washingtondc.craigslist.org/nva/fuo/3820941556.html we're in the northern Virginia area, hope this item fits someone's needs!
Here's my storage solution that's made for the Expedit shelves. We're in the crowdfunding stage right now, support appreciated!
My wife and I added a twist by making a hardwood top and x shelves and turned it into a buffet. We wrote a blog post on how we did it here -


text: Slow Cooker Beef Bone Broth Pin It I rarely make homemade broth because I'm so lazy that I'd rather just crack open a can. However, I'll admit that making beef broth using your slow cooker is really easy and requires almost no hands-on time at all. You can easily substitute pork or chicken bones in place of beef and the results are all good. If you befriend your local butcher, he may even give you a big bag of bones for pennies. Here's what I assembled to make about 4 quarts of beef bone broth: 2 carrots, chopped medium 2 celery stalks, chopped medium 1 medium onion, chopped medium 7 garlic cloves, smashed 3.5 lb of beef bones (from Full of Life Farm) 2 bay leaves Kosher salt 2 tablespoons of apple cider vinegar water Here's how to make it: Dump the vegetables in the bottom of a 6-quart slow cooker… …drop in the beef bones… …tuck in the bay leaves, sprinkle on a wee bit of salt, drizzle the vinegar on the bones… …and add enough water to cover everything. Program the slow cooker to cook on low for 8-10 hours. When it's ready, pour the broth through a strainer, and discard the solids. You can ladle out some to drink now, or… …store the liquid in a large CorningWare or glass container for later. The bones I used were pretty fatty so it made the broth taste unappealingly greasy. I stuck the broth in the fridge overnight and scraped off the top layer of solidified fat. The broth underneath looks like beef Jell-O… The broth will keep in the fridge for a few days and in the freezer for several months. When you're ready for a steaming cup of the stuff, just scoop the meaty Jell-O into a microwave-safe mug and nuke for a minute. Voila — perfection! (Want an even faster way to make bone broth? Check out the recipe for my Quick Pressure Cooker Bone Broth — it's also in my iPad® cookbook app!)

3. The New WebLearn - Launch 30th June 2009
WebLearn: The Future
3.1. About the Changeover
The WebLearn service will soon undergo a major overhaul: the underlying framework which supports the WebLearn service is to be changed from the Bodington VLE to a Collaborative Learning Environment (CLE) called Sakai.
Both Bodington and Sakai operate in a similar way but the new service will have better usability and a larger number of tools applicable for Learning and Teaching as well as for Research and Administration.
Sakai is in use at Lancaster, Cambridge, Newcastle and Hull Universities in the UK and Yale, Harvard, MIT, NYU, Princeton, Stanford and UC Berkeley (plus many others) in the United States. There is a large user community which encompasses more than 100 institutions offering excellent support for sharing and development.
At Oxford, the service will be still known as WebLearn; a year-long pilot phase started in June 2008 and is known as the WebLearn Beta service. We have recruited a large number of early adopters of this service who are giving us feedback on required enhancements and documentation as well as trialling a number of the available tools.
The production service will begin in June 2009 and will initially comprise both systems running in parallel: this is to give users the options of migrating their courses, projects or other materials over a reasonable period of time. The dual service will run for two years. You can access the old service but not add content, for a further year before it is finally switched off.
OUCS will offer full support and training for the new service from June 2009 onwards, as well as providing tools to help with migrating content to the new system. We hope that staff and students will see this move as an opportunity to improve and rationalise material rather than moving all existing material wholesale.
We recognise that local IT support staff are vital to any innovation and are training them during the pilot phase. Training events are publicised on the front page of the new service and a 'Getting started with WebLearn Beta' guide is also available from the front page.
3.2. About WebLearn Beta
WebLearn Beta is an easy-to-use accessible web-based service which supports teaching and learning, research and other day-to-day activities. It offers protected spaces that can contain a searchable document store and tools such as discussion forums, calendars, email distribution lists, announcements, wikis, tutorial sign-up sheets, formative assessment tools and electronic pigeon holes.
WebLearn Beta is a free service offered to the University, and areas (known as sites) are available for all departments, faculties, colleges, and other units. All sites are arranged in a hierarchy that matches the University's structure and each site offers a variety of online tools designed to enhance the learning experience and / or promote collaboration.
WebLearn Beta sites can be made publicly available or restricted to specific individuals or groups. It is also possible to stipulate exactly what site members are allowed to do once they have entered a site.
Oxford University members can access the system today, all that is needed is a valid Oxford Single Sign-on (SSO) ('WebAuth') username and password.
3.3. WebLearn Beta offers:
- an effective way to share online multimedia resources with predefined course-based, departmental or custom groups (including non-University members);
- a central place to focus electronic teaching, learning and research activity;
- an online searchable file store for private use or to share with colleagues, research partners or students;
- formative assessment, opinion poll and survey facilities;
- a course calendar;
- reading lists with live links to the libraries;
- group communication, including discussion boards, chat room, announcements and an email list with web-based message archive;
- tools for collaboratively writing documents;
- on-line submission of electronic materials;
- a tutorial / seminar sign-up sheet.
3.4. WebLearn Beta: Recent Enhancements
The Tutorial Sign-up Tool produces a 'sign-up sheet' for meetings, seminars or tutorials.
The Search Tool has been improved; in addition to searching the current site, the search tool will now search over all the sites to which a user belongs.
Site access can be restricted by predefined Departmental, Faculty, School or Collegiate groups. On the 'Add Participants' page of the 'Site Info' tool, there is a new 'Add Group' button; this allows one select an automatically updated list to add to the site.
Lists of site members can be copied from one site to another. At the bottom of the 'Add participants' page of the Site Info tool there is an 'Export Users' button. Clicking on this will open a pop-up window containing a list of usernames which can be copied and pasted into another site. Use this facility to duplicate custom groups between sites.
Files accidentally deleted within the Resources Tool can now be recovered by using the 'Restore' link in the 'Actions' menu of the containing folder. Improvements have also been made in the area of Accessibility; screen readers will now relay far more information about page content.
3.5. Moving Content into the New WebLearn System
For existing users, a major part of moving to the new system is the migration of the content out of the current WebLearn service. Due to the differences between the two systems, a totally automated process to move material is not feasible, and we anticipate that a far better result will be achieved with some intervention by the resource owners. Moreover, a recent survey identified that most users expressed a desire to tidy up their material as part of the move.
For the change over to be as smooth as possible for both staff and students, we recommend that a cohesive approach be adopted, and that departments (or equivalent administrative units) move all their teaching materials at the same time or, if that's not practical, in logical sub-sets. This will avoid the situation where students are unclear where to go to find their course material.
We'd also like to encourage resource owners to start thinking about a strategy, and to plan key dates in conjunction with the local Floor Manager. The first step in the migration process, which can be taken far in advance of the actual migration, is to start mapping out the structure of the new areas. The VLE team has a lot of experience to offer, and we recommend that you ask us for advice in this regard.
We have analysed the different types of content in the existing WebLearn, and have produced tools to aid users to move content. During this term we will be working with users helping them to use these tools to move materials. As a result of this, we will be developing case studies of good practice and producing associated (paper) guides for migration. We will also be holding regular 'drop-in' sessions in OUCS to give people face-to-face help – these will be announced in due course.
The current WebLearn service has been enhanced to provide two new tools:
Export content: allows content from one or more sites to be wrapped in a ZIP file which can be moved into the new WebLearn. Can include uploaded files (Word, PowerPoint, Excel, PDFs, multimedia files etc), Web documents, EasyWriter documents, Structured documents, Resource introductions, Resource descriptions.
Content can be moved to the new WebLearn by navigating to the appropriate site, uploading the ZIP file into the Resources tool and then selecting 'Expand ZIP archive' from the 'Actions'menu next to the file.
Export group membership: this allows the members of custom groups to be copied from one system to the other. Centrally provided groups should not be moved as they are already available in the new service.
Custom groups can be recreated within the new WebLearn by pasting the exported list into the 'Add Participants' page in the 'Site Info' tool.
In addition to the above, Questionnaires and MCQs can be individually exported from the current system; this is done within the tool itself. The corresponding import facility will only be available in the new WebLearn (in the Tasks, Tests and Surveys tool) from July 2009.

What's for dinner? Garbage soup
Don't throw out that dab of mashed potatoes or quarter-cup of corn. Repurpose even tiny amounts of leftovers into future meals.
(And if you still have them? Eeewww. Go clean them out right now.)
There's a better way to deal with dabs of mashed potatoes or a few spoonfuls of green beans. When life hands you leftovers, make "garbage soup."
Designate a jar, container or freezer bag for foods left over from a meal that you think will be forgotten in the fridge: the last few bites of corn, an eighth of a cup of gravy, the rice from the bottom of the pot, scraps of meat left from carving the roast or the chicken.
When the bags are full, pour some stock (homemade or store-bought) and seasonings into a pan. Add canned tomatoes or tomato puree if you want. Simmer this mixture for 15 or 20 minutes, then add the contents of the freezer bags. Heat thoroughly, adjust the seasonings, and dinner is served.
Frugal twice over
This potage de garbage is always rich and interesting because of the sheer variety of ingredients. It's never the same dish twice, though, because of that variety.
But it's frugal every time, for two reasons:
- "Not enough to save" bits of food that would otherwise have been thrown out are instead turned into a hot meal.
- Knowing the makings are on hand might keep you from ordering a pizza. After all, it takes about as long to wait for a delivery as it does to make the soup.
Or maybe more than a dab: If you've eaten leftover chicken, potatoes and vegetables three nights in a week and there's still enough for another meal, there's no reason you can't turn it into future soup. Better that than setting it aside for "later" and having the leftovers turn into a science experiment in a far corner of the fridge.
More on MSN Money:
I am a batch cook so I generally freeze anything over 2 servings and use a week (or 3 or 6) later.
However, Wed I took all the stem pieces from 3 stalks of broccoli (that I do NOT like to eat as a veg) covered with chicken bouillon, added spices (minced onion, parsley…..) and made myself some broccoli soup. Add some powdered mile to make it cream of.
Being vegetarian, I start my "garbage soup" with sauteed onions, garlic, etc. then a good base of dried beans or peas. When those are nearly cooked, I kick into action and go through every left over, frozen or otherwise, and every vegetable left over or soon to be, in my freezer and crispers! It is amazing how filling and delicious, not to mention healthy, that this type of soup can be! My last batch was topped off with a small frozen portion of left over mashed squash from Thanksgiving! I was thrilled to find it in the freezer, even two months later.
It was too small a portion to serve conventionally to a family, but it finished off the soup perfectly!
There is no sense whatsoever in throwing out good, healthy and still edible food, not to mention the savings.
Go fot it!

The new Vault Rankings are out. It's a fun day for large law firms — a day when their prestige is matched against that of their peers.
The day is even more significant this year, since it appears that so-called "top" Biglaw firms are now paying bonuses largely in "prestige points."
Vault ranks the prestige of firms based on nearly 17,000 surveys sent to law firm associates all across the country. Just by looking at the top ten firms, I think we can agree that associates who fill out these surveys have no memory and have really enjoyed this period of salary stagnation.
As I mentioned last week when talking about associate hours, it seems Biglaw partners really know what they're doing. Whether we're talking about prestige or associate hours, partners have figured out that associates will take less money and like it….

INDIANAPOLIS — An Indiana law barring most registered sex offenders from using social networking sites such as Facebook is unconstitutional, a federal appeals court ruled Wednesday.
The law that bans sex offenders from using sites they know allow access to youths under the age of 18 is too broad, a three-judge panel determined, and "prohibits substantial protected speech."
To be upheld, the appeals court found, such a law needs to be more specifically tailored to target "the evil of improper communication to minors."
The ruling from the 7th U.S. Circuit of Appeals in Chicago overturned a June decision by a district court judge in Indianapolis that upheld the law enacted by the legislature in 2008.
The American Civil Liberties Union of Indiana filed a class-action suit challenging the law on behalf of sex offenders, including a man identified only as John Doe who served three years for child exploitation. The offenders were all restricted by the ban even though they had served their sentences and are no longer on probation.
"We reverse the district court and hold that the law as drafted is unconstitutional," judges Joel M. Flaum, John D. Tinder and John J. Tharp Jr. wrote in the ruling.
Republican state Sen. John Waterman, who authored the 2008 law, responded with a pledge to look for a new way to protect children from online predators that will pass Constitutional muster.
"We will study this issue again and make a new proposal," Waterman said in a statement. "Then, it will be up to the courts once more to decide whether it's narrow enough."

Oct 20 2012: As a person with psych labels (note plural) I would like to add the following. Sometimes having an episode can make life really strange. Sometimes I have a lot of energy and other times I don't. Sometimes I seem to be able to engage with other people really well and other times I don't. I agree with Ruby Wax about the stigma. My life opportunities have been drastically affected - you may or may not see it as a blessing that I cannot get credit or life insurance. Sometimes I really wonder who is insane. People literally stop seeing you as having any potential once you have a pscyh. label. I also viewed Vikram Patel's talk and added my comments about the role of talking therapies like counselling. I do have neurological issues as well and there is a huge crossover in the two. The meds are not benign. Lithium is nasty, risperidone makes you produce breast milk now seems long-term use of some antidepressants may lead to early dementia. So I would advocate for a combination of talking therapy with meds to a minimum for severe episodes and a bit more love, support and understanding. Am a person not an animal. Used to be places for people like me in communities, creative people with ideas but less and less so in a world where you need cold hard cash to pay the bills. So grateful for community based care in the U.K,. and closure of the asylums. Think people are scared possibly because they may think 'well that's what I am like some of the time, am I insane ?' then others may project their own stuff (note tech term from psychology) on to someone else. Nurture, support and tolerance not blame, shame and isolate. Also note the lack of family support and friends for people on psych wards, gentleness helps when someone is having a psychotic break, ever consider a patient might actually be very frightened hence fight or flight. BTW Gullivers Travels written after a psych episode I understand and so many creative people. It's all about different ways of seeing.
Oct 20 2012: /
Who couldn't use a little holistic therapeutic haven? Label me crazy but I like that idea. Do your best to shrug off the shame game. Everyone can afford more tolerance, support, gentleness. Some of us have more scary strangeness happening than others. Some of us engage with others better than others. When I'm not feeling able to engage with others I make sure I am my own best friend. I know what shame is and I know what it feels like and I don't wish that on you or anybody.
Thank you for writing, Elizabeth. I like how real you are here and the way you talk about how things are for you. I'm glad you have that community based care and that its working out for you.
Oct 21 2012: Problem is Mark it's not. Psych label 16 years old. Serious consequences. Less than a person legally, not allowed to do jury service and any court case dismissed by Crown Prosecution Service as 'unreliable witness'. Discrimination in allocation of welfare benefits. Inadequate health care leading to permanent physical disability, spinal op should have happened max 6 months after notification of same. Second disc collapsed in 15 month wait. Serious permanent neurological damage plus meds possibly damaged renal system and now body struggling to cope with pain meds let alone psych meds. Son now 16 my main carer for years and now potential eating disorder. Not having 'career' in mental illess for him. He is brilliant at Maths and wants to be engineer or architect not my carer. Not 'the cervical myelopathy' in bed 2 or 'higher functioning manic depressive' in the community. Graduate Goldsmiths College London 2002 Creative Writing Course then episode stopped progression. Graduate Foundation Degree Integrative Counselling. Enrolled University of Greenwich, spinal surgery potentially ending final B.A. My life ruined, no access to credit or life insurance. Liability for employment but luckily unable to fill shelves. Not giving in to psychosis as escape, psych wards a living hell. Just like Ruby Wax and Stephen Fry but 'non-celebrity'. As a middle aged woman become invisible, humour an ego-defense for truly painful reality.
Nov 5 2012: Well Elizabeth, i too am aware of the way people treat you differently when you are a little different mentally. depression has been a lifelong battle for me although it wasn't diagnoed until after military service. My mom battled it all her life. Both of my brothers are recovering alcoholics as was my Grandfather. My dad had PTSD from Korea and taught it well to us kids. But still, through all of my weirdness and depression and creative bursts and MS, I have discovered a couple of things. It has made me extremely adaptable. Darwin didn't say it was the fittest that would survive, it would be the most ADAPTABLE that would survive. Those of us with "The Label" need not totally follow societal norms and we will be better able to adapt AND think outside the box we have been so conveniently excluded from. I don't miss their version of reality a bit even though I have to play the game daily. yes, the exclusions are painful but they allow for self growth within ourselves. That which does not kill me makes me stronger.

RE 09-10: Tom Gilbert
For those who believe you can't be young, unique, have personality and a lust for life while playing hockey for the Edmonton Oilers, allow me to present Mr. Tom Gilbert. Much like a rock star, there seems to be a gap between what he "is" and what he "represents." What he "is" at this point is an outstanding hockey player: Tom Gilbert might be the best defenseman on a club teeming with them.
The only question left is something called "established level of ability." What does that mean? Well, in pure terms, we know what Albert Pujols is going to produce season over season: 40 homers, 125 rbi's and something called "ops" that is over 1.00 (is that on-base plus slugging? why would they do that? is this a useful stat? please explain!) and 162 times a season he causes the opposition starter to have a bead of sweat run from the back of his neck all the way down the crack of his ass. That's established level of ability: Albert Pujols is a walking barf bag for pitchers, the human 'dead man walking' for starters and the man who ends careers before they've started.
It takes some time, and Gilbert isn't there yet. He's not Albert Pujols, but Jesus H. he's trending nicely as an NHL player.

- Quality of pairing: best available

- What do these numbers tell us? On a team with Visnovsky, Souray and Grebeshkov, he had the best season. He has size, speed, passing skills and can carry the puck very well, he's quality on the PP (2-14-16) and at EVs (2-26-28). Gilbert has a wide range of skills and the areas where he's weak (strong on the puck, reading plays quickly) are the domain of young defenders and he'll get better. If Tom Gilbert were a poker hand I'd go all in.
- How could these numbers be better? He could have a touch of Behn Wilson in him (Behn Wilson was a half-bubble off plumb and it gave him an edge in every battle. youtube Behn Wilson). Other than that he's quality. You want to see this over a period of years for established levels of ability but this was a first-rate season.
- What about injury? 82 games two years in a row I'd say we're good to go.
- What about a trade? Seriously? 4M a year for a guy who moves the puck like this guy and he has an idea about playing defense. Fine, go ahead trade the guy and then watch him romp for a decade. I have no idea what kind of glue (Elmer's?) the Avs were sniffing when they sent him here for Tommy gun but he's signed through the summer of 2014 and would have to be considered one of the most valuable assets on the team.
- Will Quinn play him against tough opposition? Of course he will. Gilbert isn't famous (yet) but he's capable and doesn't take stupid penalites. He has coverage lapses but when you fly as many sorties as any NHL top4 blue does in a season there are moments when you look exposed. He's good.
- How will Quinn play him? I think his PP time may suffer. He certainly deserves time with the man advantage based on results but a new coach sometimes goes with the guy who has a longer track record.
- How important is Gilbert to this team? He's the link between the Hemsky group and the Cogliano/Gagner bunch. Gilbert is a major player on this team, it's obvious in all kinds of ways including a major contract with many years on it.

The Consumption Response to Income Changes
AbstractWe review different empirical approaches that researchers have taken to estimate how consumption responds to income changes. We critically evaluate the empirical evidence on the sensitivity of consumption to predicted income changes, distinguishing between the traditional excess sensitivity tests, and the effect of predicted income increases and income declines. We also review studies that attempt to estimate the marginal propensity to consume out of income shocks, distinguishing between three different approaches: identifying episodes in which income changes unexpectedly, relying on the covariance restrictions that the theory imposes on the joint behavior of consumption and income growth, and combining realizations and expectations of income or consumption in surveys where data on subjective expectations are available.

So who masked out the message that was overlaid on the photo? Originally it is reported to have said "Diaoyu Island belongs to China"
At last Apple are going to have NFC in their phone
A feature i would never use and be sure to switch OFF as soon as i pick up my new iPhone. Stuff like this just makes it easier and easier for thieves to steal your identity and bank info. Really dumb for anyone to use this stuff imo. Hackers now have devices that they can have in their pocket and just walk past you and if you have this stuff enabled or that WiFi bar symbol on your ATM/Credit cards, they automatically now have all that info! Don't rely on Apple Security either to think you're magically protected. We still can jailbreak these devices and iOS updates/upgrades, you really think cyber thieves can't also figure out how to outsmart it? Really useless feature imo unless you don't mind letting your identity become stolen
not to stray off topic but has anyone else noticed that the connectors on the ribbon cables are now on the opposite side of the cables? in the picture above they would be on the top, on iPhone 4, 4S the connector is on the bottom. this would mean there is also going to be a change in the layout of the logic board as well to accommodate the connector changes.
The only NFC I know of is right before the Super Bowl but cool story bro
Very much so, from what i have been following the new iPhone closely resembles the old 3GS assembly structure. However we will not know until official releasePlease tell me I'm seeing a removable LCD screen there.
In Hong Kong we pay for everything with a NFC card like the oyster in London, called the Octopus cards.
With that we pay for the metro and buses, but also 7-11, McDonalds, Taxi's, just about anything!!
It's great cause you don't have to carry coins or get back change as you are always paying in exact.
People carry hundreds of dollars on their cards and there have been no news stories about people stealing money off peoples cards...so I don't see what the difference is gonna be with the iPhone. People are just scared of the unknown and are scared to say it too....I don't know....

WOOD: Can money grow on trees?
This ETF is profiting from the rising price of lumber.
Conventional agricultural products include foods, fibers, fuels and raw materials, but there is an additional, unconventional segment of the industry that I want to bring to your attention: wood.
Now, you may not think of wood as an agricultural product. But wood involves the growth and harvesting of organic material, so it fits the definition. An ETF that tracks the lumber industry is the appropriately named iShares S&P Global Timber & Forestry Index (WOOD).
Since its start in June 2008, this non-diversified fund has sought investment results that, before fees and expenses, correspond to the price and yield performance of an index that tracks the 25 largest publicly traded companies engaged in the ownership, management and supply chains of forests and timberlands.
The holdings thereby may include forest products companies, timber REITs, paper product packaging companies or agricultural product companies.
While WOOD has had a promising gain of 4.24% so far this year, the fund is capable of sizable annual gains such as in 2012, when WOOD soared 20.4%.
In addition, this ETF offers a modest dividend yield of 1.17%. And with current lumber prices skyrocketing -- lumber prices exceeded $450 per 1,000 board feet this past April -- expect WOOD to surge in tandem with those prices as the year progresses.
WOOD concentrates its assets in four sectors that comprise the components and products of the forestry industry: basic materials, 63.62%; consumer cyclical, 17.24; real estate, 12.49; and consumer defensive, 6.65%.
WOOD's top ten individually held companies make up 55.73% of the fund's total assets. The top five of these are: Rayonier (RYN), Weyerhaeuser (WY), Plum Creek Timber (PCL), West Fraser Timber (WFTBF) and MONDI (MNDI).
With the recent rebound in the housing industry (its biggest gain in seven years was last March), expect home prices to keep rising, causing timber's value to gain, too.
With timber companies profiting, WOOD's share price should climb as well due to that buoyed demand for lumber. And if you are invested in this ETF, you could take part in these possible profits. Knock on wood!

COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) -- A court filing is recommending the Ohio Supreme Court approve a 6-month suspension of former Ohio Attorney General Marc Dann's law license.
The state Disciplinary Counsel says Dann tarnished the reputation of the office and notes that no other Ohio attorney general has ever been subject to discipline.
The filing Wednesday with the Supreme Court says that Dann's misconduct was worse than other cases of elected officials and he has failed to adequately take responsibility.
Justices, who have the final say, could accept, reject or toughen the recommended punishment after they hear arguments in April.
Dann resigned in 2008 amid a sexual harassment scandal, then pleaded guilty in 2010 to improperly paying two aides from political and office accounts and failing to disclose campaign expenses.

I teach Hula and have a large class. My soft voice made it difficult for students to hear my instructions when the music was playing. Now they can hear me, no problem! I do wish the carrying case had a better way to protect the headset. I have to bend the mic to get it in the case and worry that I'm going to do it damage over time. But, aside from that, the product works very well and is perfect for my needs! I'm so glad I found it!

By Karen Florin
Publication: The Day
Norwich - The family of 52-year-old Michael Dugas, who was fatally shot by police after calling them to a neighborhood park on Feb. 24, has notified the city they intend to bring a wrongful death lawsuit against the city and the seven police officers involved in the shooting.
Attorney Robert I. Reardon Jr., representing Dugas' sister, April Carfi of Waterford, and two other siblings, said there is a dispute over whether Dugas had a gun in his hand when police officers fired 41 shots, striking him six times, as he stood in the park at Laurel Hill Avenue and Center Street.
The police said they attempted to communicate with Dugas for a period of time when he suddenly drew a handgun from his pocket and pointed it at them. Reardon said he interviewed several eyewitnesses to the shooting who said they didn't see a gun in Dugas' hand.
State Police told the family after the shooting that they had recovered an inoperable pellet gun at the scene, according to Reardon.
"Even if he had the gun in his hand, there certainly is a question here of whether it was necessary to fire 41 shots at him within a matter of just a few seconds," Reardon said Monday.
Reardon said Dugas had been watching NASCAR with friends that afternoon and drinking beer. He then called police in the presence of the friends to report there was a man with a gun in the park, which was a few hundreds yards away from his home at 172 Laurel Hill Ave. He said Dugas had told people that day that he was missing his wife, who died of cancer in 2003.
He said Dugas went to the park and officers surrounded Dugas and shined spotlights on him as he stood in the middle of the park.
"It is not your typical situation where an individual is waiving a gun and threatening the police," Reardon said. "This is a man who was clearly crying out for help."
Reardon said in the notice of intent to sue that Dugas "did not pose an imminent threat of death or physical injury to the officers or anybody else" and that they "failed to secure him using nonlethal force when he was not armed with a deadly weapon."
The state police Eastern District Major Crime Squad is investigating for the New London State's Attorney's office, which eventually will rule on whether the shooting was justified.
Norwich Police officers Mark Dean, Kyle Besse, Greg McDonald, Scott Meikle, Anthony Marceau, Richard Cannata and Chase Chiangi were placed on administrative leave during the initial investigation. All returned to full duty within a few weeks at the direction of the State's Attorney's office.
Police Chief Louis J. Fusaro Sr. and the city's attorney, Michael Driscoll, both said Monday that they were aware the Dugas family had filed the notice of intent to sue the city and the police, but that they could not comment because of the pending investigation. By law, a notice of intent to sue must be filed within six months of an incident.
Reardon said despite telephone and written requests, he and Dugas' family have not received "one shred" of information since early in the investigation. He said he does not know whether Dugas left a suicide note. He said Dugas' father owned the home that Dugas lived in and that the family consented to having it searched by police following the shooting.
Norwich Police had gone several years without an officer-involved shooting but four have occurred since Feb. 7, 2012. On that day, Officer Greg McDonald shot Fernando Vasquez after several officers responded to a report of a fight outside 89 Oneco St. and a struggle with officers ensued. Fernando survived and was treated at Yale-New Haven Hospital. McDonald was cleared of excessive use of force, but Driscoll, the city attorney, said the city has been notified that a lawsuit may be filed in that case as well.
On Aug. 28, 2012, Sgt. Patrick Mickens shot Gino Jermaine Nicasia outside The William W. Backus Hospital after Nicasia, who had been brought to the hospital by his mother because he was hearing voices, nearly ran over his mother and Mickens. Nicasia was treated for a gunshot wound to the right leg and committed for psychiatric care. Regan, the state's attorney, ruled last week that Mickens was justified in using deadly force in the incident.
On Jan. 7, Officer Jonathan Ley was shot four times by Jason Razzino, 30, during a Cedar Street standoff. Razzino, whose girlfriend said he had unsuccessfully sought mental health treatment, committed suicide after the hours-long standoff with police. Ley, who suffered gunshot wounds to the neck, left shoulder, left hand and right leg, is recovering and has said he intends to return to duty.
Coincidental to the shootings, retired State Trooper John G. Patterson, who worked out of the Troop E barracks in Montville for 20 years, this past weekend celebrated the release of his book, "Traumatized," on the topic of officer-involved shootings. Patterson, who shot and killed two men in the line of duty within 27 months in 1996 and 1998 - both justified - writes about the post-traumatic stress disorder and severe depression he developed in the wake of the second shooting.
Patterson is sharply critical of the way management handled the incidents, from separating him from fellow officers after the shootings to putting him on desk duty during a lengthy investigation and failing to provide adequate counseling. The father of one of the men that Patterson shot brought a wrongful death lawsuit against him. While the state police provided him with a lawyer, Patterson said nobody from the agency supported him during the 2001 trial in federal court until his direct supervisor and two fellow troopers decided on their own to attend the trial. The jury acquitted Patterson.
