My wife and I are doing a complete bathroom remodel. We plan to install a
5'x36" drop in whirl pool. Is it possible to install a shower with this whirlpool. We plan to do a complete tile surround.
Last edited by bigun471; 08-14-2006 at 07:24 PM.
The better choice would be to purchase a whirlpool that is designed to be in a tiled alcove...often they look essentially identical, but it has a built-in tiling flange.
If that is not an option (although most are available that way), then see if the manufacturer has an add-on tile flange kit. If not, then you might not want to use this tub.
Check out www.johnbridge.com for tiling questions.

I have been waiting for ice cream sandwich to launch. Does this mean it has also launched on the transformer prime? The best qualities of mobile and tablet software really come together with the new ice cream sandwich. the best part is that there is now a virtual bridge between the two, compatibility has skyrocketed. |
I cannot wait til my HTC Sensation 4G and Xoom gets it! |
Google has done a awesome job with ICS so far. If you change the screen density on the galaxy nexus, it turns it into a tablet. So ICS on the phones and tablets are the same thing. They also have been updating and fixing bugs pretty often, considering ICS only really came out 2 months ago. I cant to get my hands on a galaxy nexus, but im happy the Nexus S is getting it finally. |
Combining the phone & tablet OS was definitely a smart move. I'm also liking how often updates are rolling out for Ice Cream Sandwich, and i hope they continue. Definitely makes me appreciate the Nexus line more when I see this. |
Nice to see google getting updates out quickly and making ICS the best release ever! |

I've been asked this question several times already since the update went live, and I understand that it is perhaps not clear from the patch notes.
You want this:
So, how?
You need 3 things:
- Stain Clone
- Trance Force
- Minesta Craft Stone (Recipe)
2&3 are easy to get. You simply purchase the Trance Force item from an NPC grocer, and the Minesta Craft Stone from an NPC Core Alchemist. See the craft material table in the linked post below for the prices and locations of these two items.
The Stain Clones are the ones you have to work for. These are given as rewards for quests. You need 40 of them for Battle Mode 3 and the first Fatal Attack Skill, then 50 and 70 for the 2nd and 3rd stage of the Fatal Attack skills respectively. There are 31 different quests available that will give Stain Clones as reward, and these Quests are started by using Quest Capsules.
So where do you find Quest Capsules? Number 1 - 3 you can receive as a Daily Quest (you can pick one of the three, repeated each day, as many days as you need). Number 4-31 will drop while you are levelling or farming AP.
(We will make some bundles available later today in the Item Shop, with the quest capsule + dungeon entry for the Premium DX dungeons. More on that later in a separate announcement)
So while it may seem complex at first it really is rather simple.
- You find/buy Quest Capsules
- use them to get the quests that give Stain Clones as reward,
- collect those Stain Clones until you have enough,
- Purchase the additional items you need,
- then craft your BM3 skill.

Corey Bayer, Tyler Freitas, Victor Teixeira, and John Brindeiro led Hilmar High onto the football field for the first time in eight months on Friday. The Yellowjacket captains stared down their Livingston High opponents from the 50 yard line, they were ready to get the game started and so was everyone in attendance.
Pitman High didn't have the boys soccer season it had hoped for in 2011, but head coach Oscar Mercado and his new squad isn't dwelling on that fact. What they are doing is learning from last season's mistakes and forging a new path for the Pride, one rooted in youth and, hopefully, headed towards the post-season.
Last year, the Denair High School boys soccer team just missed the Southern League playoffs (10-10-2, 7-6-1 SL).
Four years ago Courtney Nutcher was a server for Denair High's volleyball team, running up and down the court as the Coyotes tried to best Ripon Christian High and the rest of the Southern Athletic League. Now, after a two year stint as a Modesto Junior College player, Nutcher is back on the courts of Denair only this time she's the head coach.
Stevinson Ranch hosted a celebration of the first Youth on Course program on Saturday, capping 20 weeks of lessons and hands on experience from golf pros to Delhi High students. Family and friends were welcomed with an opening ceremony where participants were awarded certificates of completion and Northern California Golf Association cards allowing them to play at local courses at discounted prices.
When the Southern Athletic League's football season begins this month there will be some new faces on the sidelines. The majority of those faces will belong to players who have stepped up to fill the roles of last season's seniors but in the case of Turlock Christian and Denair High new faces will also belong to their head coaches.
They've lifted tires, weights, and even sandbags; ran laps, sprints and plays. They've spent summer days competing and sweating under the heat of the sun. Coaches have yelled, offered reassurance, and even a congratulatory nod, all in the vein of motivation and preparation.
Historically, the Turlock Journal has covered Turlock, Turlock Christian, Pitman, Hilmar and Denair High athletics as well as other youth athletes from these areas, providing our readership with up to date results and information for everything from football to swimming.
Stanislaus County continued its streak of dominance over Merced County with an 8-0 shutout in the Merced-Stanislaus County All-Stars game on Sunday.
Last weekend, West met East at the 23rd annual Modesto Sunrise Rotary Baseball Classic. The best high school players from Stanislaus County faced each other in an evenly matched showdown, treating the spectators at John Thurman Field to a thrilling and fittingly competitive game.
Shane Smith was officially named the new athletic director for Turlock Christian High School this week.
As the West and East teams met on John Thurman Field Saturday for the 23rd annual Modesto Sunrise Rotary Baseball Classic, each player had the same goal in mind - winning.
After months of anticipation and a week of practice, the South team thought they had what it took to defeat the North in the 39th annual Lions All Star Football game at Modesto Junior College.
The high school football season has long since been over and the NFL season is still some ways away but football fans have the chance to satisfy their hunger for the pigskin tonight at the 39th annual Lions All Star Football Classic at Modesto Junior College.
The best junior and senior baseball players Stanislaus County has to offer are set to compete in the 23rd annual Modesto Sunrise Rotary Baseball Classic today at John Thurman Field in Modesto. Nine players from the Turlock area will participate in today's All-Star game, representing Turlock High, Pitman High, and Turlock Christian High. The Pride will also be represented by Mick Tate and his staff who were selected to coach the West team.
Turlock and Pitman High will meet on the baseball field in a game to watch, before league play even starts after both squads notched back-to-back wins in this year's Pedretti Tournament earning a spot in the championship round.
Turlock's Albino Orozco (170 pounds) is the last man standing for area wrestlers in the CIF State Wrestling Championships at Rabobank Arena in Bakersfield.
The Central California Conference is known to be one of the most competitive leagues in the valley in nearly every sport-including softball.
Turlock and Pitman High kicked off track season on Friday by going the distance, joining 16 other high schools at Joe Debely Stadium for the Pitman Distance Wars. But while only a handful of each team's track competitors actually saw action on Friday, their respective rosters-sprinters, jumpers, and throwers-were in attendance to cheer their teammates on.
With preseason currently in play, the Southern Athletic League and Trans Valley League girls soccer teams prepare for another fresh season.
The California Interscholastic Federation State Wrestling Championships is two days away. After countless hours of practice and months of preparation-and in some cases years-seven local wrestlers are on the cusp of what will be the biggest stage of their wrestling careers. They're State bound.
The Sac-Joaquin Section Masters Tournament, the final stop before every high school wrestler's apex dream-the State Tournament.
The Pitman High soccer tournament was supposed to be a launching point for the 2014 season, unfortunately, Mother Nature forced the tourney to get cancelled and sent most of the 36 scheduled teams back home.

Steroid Side Effects
Oral and injected corticosteroids (or simply "steroids") are medications used to treat inflammation in the body. When taken in oral or injected forms, the route of administration is termed "systemic." These medicines are used to treat a wide variety of diseases, such as systemic lupus erythematosus, rheumatoid arthritis, and many other autoimmune diseases. Systemic steroids are also used to treat asthma attacks, and on occasion, severe allergic rhinitis symptoms. Examples include prednisone, methylprednisolone (Medrol dose pack), and injectable triamcinolone (Kenalog).When people think about the side effects of steroids, they usually mean the side effects of systemic steroids. While systemic steroids are often necessary and life-saving medicines needed to treat inflammation, they don't come without side effects. Most side effects are from short-term use; however, long-term use can lead to additional side effects.
Short-Term Side Effects of Systemic Steroids
Most people receive systemic steroids for only a few days at a time, and experience only temporary side effects. These may include an increase in appetite, difficulty sleeping (insomnia), changes in mood and behavior, flushing (redness) of the face, and short-term weight gain due to increased water retention. These side effects usually resolve after a few days once the steroids have been stopped.People with underlying medical conditions might also notice other side effects. Those with diabetes mellitus may see an increase in their blood sugar readings; those with high blood pressure may see their blood pressure readings rise. People with glaucoma could have an increase of the pressures within their eyes; people with congestive heart failure may retain water and have worsening of this condition. For this reason, a person with any chronic underlying disease should be closely followed by their physician while taking systemic steroids.
Long-Term Side Effects of Systemic Steroids
When systemic steroids are used for long periods of time, or when steroids are taken on multiple occasions, more serious side effects may occur. It is for these reasons that the dose and duration of systemic steroids should be minimized whenever possible. Some side effects can be decreased by taking systemic steroids every other day instead of daily, even if the total dose is the same. Many of the side effects are reversible if the steroids are stopped, while other side effects may be permanent.Side effects of long-term steroid use includes:
- Glaucoma
- Cataracts
- High-blood pressure
- Heart disease
- Diabetes mellitus
- Obesity
- Acid reflux/GERD
- Osteoporosis
- Myopathy
- Increase in certain types of infections
- Cushing syndrome
People taking long-term systemic steroids should be closely monitored for the above diseases, and should take medicines to prevent osteoporosis. These medicines may include supplemental calcium and vitamin D, along with medicines to prevent bone loss called bisphosphonates. Examples of bisphosphonates include alendronate (Fosamax), risedronate (Actonel) and ibandronate (Boniva). Frequent measuring of bone-mineral density should also be performed in people taking long-term systemic steroids.
Learn about the side effects of inhaled steroids and nasal steroids.

Last full day of sun and relaxing
We had a big lunch planned for today so we started today with a much smaller breakfast than normal! Just a small sandwich then off to our now customary spot at the poolside, we've both kept ourselves more than occupied by reading various books on the Kindles and making use of the free WiFi by the pool.
When lunchtime came around we ...
Sunny Monday
We decided to mix it up a little today so went for a walk straight after breakfast instead of waiting til lunch time! We saw a couple of restaurants we wanted to try and then had a walk along the coast before heading back to the hotel to relax in our usual spot by the pool.
We chose to have our lunch in a restaurant ...
Lazy Sunday (same as all other days this week!)
The day was started with a nice buffet breakfast then we made our way to the usual sunny spot that we had taken a liking to near the heated pool. This is when the alarm bells started to ring, there was a man blowing up what looked like a bouncy castle! We thought about moving but decided to wait it out, and it turned out to be a massive water inflatable for the kids to play on! Unfortunately for us, they decided to put this in the heated pool as opposed to the kids pool or ...
Lazy Days
Friday and Saturday rolled into one as we spent both days lazing at the pool with not much movement, Saturday morning we awoke to blue skies for the first time on the trip and apart from lunch we stayed at the pool all day making the most of the lovely weather.
At night we ventured down to las americas to sample another of Mandy's old favourites, Balkonen. We enjoyed a lovely dinner and Mandy was ...
Day 2 - Cloudy walking
We started the day with another lovely breakfast at the hotel, as it was cloudy again we decided we'd spend the day going for a nice long walk.
We started by walking to las Americas where Mandy pointed out numerous landmarks and we went to the hotel that Andrew had stayed at some 10+ years ago.
We stopped at a cocktail bar overlooking the sea where we had one of the worst examples of one of our fav cocktails, we then carried on to ...

David Beckham and his adorable daughter Harper. One of the major relationship lessons we took from Lean In was that, when you and your man share the money-making and the domestic duties, everyone wins.
By Natasha Burton
Except that now, it seems like the men actually kinda lose in this scenario-when it comes to getting respect, that is.
According to new research from the University of Toronto's Rotman School of Management and the Long Island University Post, men who take on more of a caregiver role in their families are treated worse at work than guys who stick closer to gender norms. Which is total BS in our books: Not only is it awesome when dads are just as involved with their kids as moms traditionally are, but have you ever witnessed a hot guy holding a baby? (See: David Beckham, left, for reference.) If that doesn't make your ovaries tingle with joy, we don't know what will.
Related: 14 Hot Celebrity Dads and Their Kids
The study also found, however, that women who break outside the norm as far as their caregiving arrangements go and women without children are actually treated worse than those nontraditional guys are. Apparently, people who follow the model of men working more and women doing more of the work when it comes to kids and stuff around the house are the least likely to be subjected to side-eyes and harassment at work.

As we started to collect stories and memorabilia for the Crighton Theatre History Project we realized we were starting to collect stories about more than just the early days of the Crighton.
At first the project began as an outgrowth of junior high school requirements to interview a veteran. The effort has evolved into a part of the community effort to record stories from our veterans before their stories are lost. For instance, the Veterans Museum of Texas collects memorabilia and stories.If you are interested in the stories of our veterans, find out more below.Melvin P. Craig

Congress split on cap-and-trade's impact on jobs
This was originally published on CBSNews.com.
WASHINGTON--Congressional Democrats' proposal to create a trading system for carbon emissions will create jobs and bolster the economy, the Obama administration told Congress on Wednesday.
House Republicans insisted, however, that the proposal, which would charge the largest emitters of carbon dioxide for burning fossil fuels, would result in higher energy and gasoline prices for consumers, as well as a loss of U.S. jobs as carbon emitters moved positions overseas to unregulated markets.
"I believe this is a jobs bill that focuses our country's attention on the global industry of the … Read more

Museum of Mankind, London, 1976 - 1977.
Portrait figures of this type were probably commissioned by non-Native patrons during the first half of the 19th century. Only a handful of such carvings have been illustrated over the years, including another pair from the James Hooper collection: Phelps, Steven, ART AND ARTIFACTS OF THE PACIFIC, AFRICA AND THE AMERICAS, Hutchinson of London, 1976, p. 314, ill. 1480 and 1481: "A. T. Todd-White, Lancaster House, Leytonstone, No. 181. One of a corpus of thirteen portrait figures, three of which in the Smithsonian Institute, Washington, were collected by Charles Wilkes in 1832"; for more examples, with still another pair of more crudely rendered figures and a single female similar to the present lot and possibly by the same hand, as seen in Coe, Ralph, SACRED CIRCLES, Nelson Gallery of Art - Atkins Museum of Fine Arts, Kansas City, Missouri, 1977, pp. 142 - 143, ill. 303, 304 and 305; and a single, more overtly European styled depiction as part of the Thaw collection: Vincent, Brydon, and Coe, ART OF THE NORTH AMERICAN INDIAN, University of Washington Press, 2000, p. 342, ill. T186. In Sotheby's cataloguing of the present lot, it was reported that the pair had been collected between 1869 and 1876. There is little doubt, however, that this pair, like the others as documented, are all from the first half of the 19th century.

text: Oh sweet, sweet anonymity Through the pressing crowds you're calling me Along the streets in city parks Your presence waits by day or dark. Just as the judge is passing law As in so many times before On parking offence or minor crime On occasion a case that makes a national headline The same hand takes the tea maid's cup Or swings a club on the Sunday golf match As famous singers walk the stage Of what matter is its matter made? Plywood sheet or glass laminate The "greatest moments" are a blip On lifetimes stage where fortune sits As greater life is lived unsung Of no recorded note or age A bar to life's great tearing pace. Yes,, somewhere waits for you and me That sweet sweet anonymity. A girl with hair like golden down Is smiling in a country town Her eyes are soft, her spirit strong She knows truth, love and easy songs. She makes up a house where people meet And lives are crossed so bitter sweet From kindergarten to university She sees continuity And containment of the life she loves White picket fence and a cote of turtle doves. © Joe Maverick 26-07-2010

Undisputed Boxing
After 17 years as a professional fighter and nine titles, kickboxing and karate champion Brian Schwartz stepped out of retirement to try his fists at MMA. A broken hand and, subsequently, the first professional loss of his career slowed him down, but not for long—the next year, he returned to face and beat that opponent. Naturally enough for a man who can't let a new challenge go untested, Schwartz then turned his focus to a new endeavor: the creation of Undisputed Boxing Gym, where he would share the secrets of the fight with a new generation.
Schwartz has assembled a dynamic staff of fighters with backgrounds in jujitsu, boxing, tae kwon do, and kickboxing to train both aspiring fighters and average fitness enthusiasts. Students can tone up and learn self-defense techniques or even chase a spot in the gym's amateur competitive program. The sweat flows in expansive training facilities that include a tae kwon do dojo, a cycling studio, a set of 40 Everlast heavy bags, and displays that track class progress as well as show the music videos for the songs being played. An in-house chiropractor helps align muscles and massages away any knots from learning an especially brutal tickle submission.

Coverage: TSN
7:00 PM ET, January 1, 2014
Air Canada Centre, Toronto, ON
The Indiana Pacers and Toronto Raptors turned in defensive clinics in the fourth quarters to rally for victories in their most recent games.
One night later, the Pacers will put their five-game win streak on the line Wednesday when they visit a Raptors team that has won a season-high three in a row.
Indiana (25-5) harassed Cleveland into 18.8 percent (3 of 16) shooting in the fourth quarter of Tuesday's 91-76 home win. The Pacers trailed by one entering the final 12 minutes.
"We played better defense, played smart and hit the open man," guard Lance Stephenson said. "We were protecting the rim."
Toronto (14-15) limited Chicago to 16.7 percent (4 of 24) from the field in the fourth quarter of Tuesday's 85-79 road victory. The Raptors entered the period down five.
"It was a grind-it-out game," coach Dwane Casey said. "These kind of games are the kind of games you have to play if you're going to be serious about being a playoff team."
The Pacers are allowing a league-low 89.0 points per game. They lowered the NBA's best defensive field goal percentage to 41.1 on a night leading scorer Paul George had 21 points despite missing nine of 11 3-point shots against the Cavaliers. Roy Hibbert scored 19 and George Hill had 13.
"Tonight's game was a perfect example of how you can still go out and win a basketball game when your shot's not falling," coach Frank Vogel said. "Aside from George Hill, it seemed like nobody could make a perimeter shot and it was just one of those nights offensively from the field so you got to win the game in other ways."
Toronto has seen vast improvement since Dec. 13 -- when the majority of the players acquired from Sacramento in the Rudy Gay deal made their club debuts. The Raptors are limiting opponents to 42.5 percent from the field in a 7-2 run since that date after that figure was at 46.6 in the first 20 games.
"No one's trying to do anything they can't do," guard Kyle Lowry said. "Everything that everyone's doing out there is what they know how to do."
The trade means that Indiana's 91-84 home win over Toronto on Nov. 8 means very little since Gay led all players with 30 points. Indiana has taken nine of the last 12 meetings, including four straight on the road.
The Pacers are winning by an average of 21.2 points over their last five games while the Raptors can reach .500 for the first time since they were 2-2.
Jonas Valanciunas is averaging 13.1 points and 10.6 rebounds in his last nine games and will match up with Hibbert, who outscored him 20-4 in the first meeting.
This contest figures to be a challenge for DeMar DeRozan, who scored 11 points on 3-of-12 shooting against the Bulls.
His only lower output came in the first matchup with the Pacers as he made 2 of 15 shots for six points. DeRozan has failed to score in double digits three times in his last 53 games -- twice versus Indiana.
The Raptors are 4-2 in the second half of back-to-back games while the Pacers are 5-3.

California Atlas 5 finally flies with flock of satellites BY JUSTIN RAY SPACEFLIGHT NOW Posted: September 13, 2012 Hoisting a clandestine prime payload -- likely a pair of formation-flying ocean surveillance satellites -- and a menagerie of micro missions hitchhiking into space, the Atlas 5 rocket reeled off another successful performance Thursday in a rare mid-day launch from California.
The flight continued the workman-like pace for United Launch Alliance, following yesterday's countdown dress rehearsal and fueling exercise back at Cape Canaveral on the next Delta 4 that will deploy a Global Positioning System satellite on Oct. 4, and the launch came the same day as Florida technicians began assembling the next Atlas 5 rocket to haul the Pentagon's X-37B spaceplane into orbit at the end of October. But producing the noise and fire this day was the Atlas from California, arcing over the Pacific on a "coast-hugger" trajectory, the RD-180 main engine powered by a highly refined kerosene fuel and supercold liquid oxygen propelled the rocket south-southeastward toward an orbit tilted 63 degrees relative to the equator. Five minutes into the ascent, the first stage was shed and the cryogenic Centaur upper stage with its venerable RL10 engine lit as the four-meter-diameter nose cone jettisoned. The rocket then flew into a total cloak of secrecy, the progress of its orbit shaping maneuvers and deployment of the wide-ranging cargos occurring outside of the public eye. Hours later, however, officials announced the launch had achieved a successful outcome. "Today's successful launch of the NROL-36 mission occurred on the same day as the national memorial service honoring American hero Neil Armstrong. The scientists and engineers developing and operating these remarkable current-day launch and spacecraft systems reflect Neil's incredible legacy to mankind," said Jim Sponnick, ULA vice president, Mission Operations. "Today's launch marks the fourth and final EELV mission for the NRO's Road to Launch 2012 accomplished in the last five months. This launch tempo is a tribute to all of the mission partners' dedication and continued focus on mission success -- one launch at a time." Atlas 5 represents the culmination of evolution stretching back several decades to America's first intercontinental ballistic missile. At the dawn of the space age, boosters named Atlas launched men into orbit during Project Mercury and became a frequent vehicle of choice to haul civil, military and commercial spacecraft to orbit. Atlas boosters have launched 615 times since 1957, and the Atlas 5 just celebrated 10 years of flight Aug. 21 with a record of 33 missions to orbit. This was the fifth Atlas 5 to fly from the West Coast, all occurring successfully in the past four years to deliver national assets to orbit for the country's spy satellite agency and one mission with a U.S. military weather observatory. That frequent customer is the U.S. National Reconnaissance Office, the government organization responsible for designing and operating the intelligence-gathering surveillance spacecraft for policy makers and military forces.
"NOSS satellites track ships at sea through their radio transmissions. The first two generations, launched between 1976 and 1996, consisted of several triplets that orbited in close formation. Analysis of the difference in time of arrival of a signal at each member of a triplet enabled determination of the location of the source. Third generation NOSS accomplish the same using pairs of satellites," said Ted Molczan, a respected monitor of spacecraft. Thursday's launch was expected to be the sixth for this current breed of NOSS featuring satellite duos instead of the previous trio arrangement. Atlas rockets have deployed this generation over the past decade beginning with two missions from Vandenberg that went up in 2001 and 2003 aboard Atlas 2AS vehicles, then two flights from Cape Canaveral that flew on the Atlas 3B in 2005 and an Atlas 5 in 2007, then the Vandenberg mission 17 months ago. It was unclear if the latest duo was replacing an aging set of satellites in the NOSS constellation or augmenting it. This was the fourth of four launches for the NRO in 2012. A Delta 4 put a radar-imaging satellite into a retrograde orbit from Vandenberg in April, an Atlas 5 carried a geosynchronous data-relay bird in June from Cape Canaveral, followed by a Delta 4-Heavy with a clandestine cargo also flown from the Cape in late June. "Any NRO launch is critical to national security, delivering new intel capabilities out to the warfighters," said Lt. Col. Dan Gillen, commander of the 4th Space Launch Squadron that oversees Atlas 5 and Delta 4 rocket operations at Vandenberg. "Even though we are winding down some operations Afghanistan and Iraq, the need for intel is still growing."
Available performance on this mission made it suitable to fly the secondary cubesats and deliver them into a useful orbit. "We have long recognized that there are benefits and efficiencies to be gained through rideshare in space launch," said Betty Sapp, director National Reconnaissance Office. "These benefits include opportunities to conduct scientific research and demonstrate and apply emerging technologies through the use of small satellites." Four flew through NASA's Educational Launch of Nanosatellite program that works with schools to give students real-life experience in the space business. Institutions launching their scientifically-meaningful hardware on this rocket via ELANA are the University of California, University of Colorado at Boulder, California Polytechnic State University and Morehead State. In addition, the NRO's Mission Support Directorate is enabling 7 satellites to fly from the Army Space and Missile Defense Command, the Aerospace Corp., the University of Southern California and the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory. Objectives of the various spacecraft range from testing future satellite technologies, probing space weather and observing the cosmic X-ray background. Next up for Vandenberg, the base will host two more Atlas 5 launches early in the year with a Landsat Earth-resources spacecraft on Feb. 11 at 10:04 a.m. local time, NASA says, and the commercial GeoEye 2 Earth-imaging satellite will follow in April. Gillen's squadron at Vandenberg also has a much-anticipated Delta 4-Heavy rocket launch for the NRO slated for next August.

Turkey eggs
think the issue of Turkey eggs has been covered pretty well - but re DUCK eggs -- I raised ducks for years - and the first year of laying the eggs are quite good; but subsequent years (more mature hen) I found the eggs quite 'strong'. Standard conversion was 1 duck egg for 2 large to x large chicken eggs. Fine for cooking -- just a bit 'eggy' for breakfast.
They make AWESOME deviled eggs though -- and Easter eggs too! -
I've picked them up at farmers markets here in the US occasionally. Much bigger and richer tasting. Duck eggs too. Guineafowl eggs are smaller than chicken eggs and very light flavored and creamy, but the shells are very thick and hard to crack without making a mess. I had them both from farmers markets here, and straight from my mothers ancestral farm in Wales.
Here's my post about some local turkey eggs on the SF Bay Area board,
http://chowhound.chow.com/topics/440095 -
Yes, they are completely edible. However unless you know a farmer that raises what are now marketed as "heritage" breeds it will be very hard to find them.
Most US turkeys are raised to be breast heavy and because of this they cannot breed on their own or for that matter they can barely walk. Because of this they need to be artificially inseminated in order to produce eggs to create more turkeys. These eggs are not sold for consumption due to the demand for more turkey (never mind I can't imagine they would taste anything like a fresh turkey egg.)
If you haven't read it you might want to read "Animal Vegetable Miracle". There is a really humorous chapter on getting turkey to mate!
re: foodieX2
A hen turkey does not need to be inseminated to produce an egg. The hen turkeys raised for meat production are generally sent to the processor before regular ovulation is common. A female turkey does not start to ovulate until about 30 weeks of age. Most are sent to slaughter by 18 weeks. They probably wouldn't do well at it anyway because by 30 weeks they would probably weigh 75 pounds and not be able to move.
A chicken will lay an egg (ovulate) about once a day, in the morning but will start the process later each day so she actually averages one egg every 27-28 hours or so.
From what I understand, there are several reasons.
One is that turkey eggs are more valuable for producing more turkeys, as turkeys aren't as productive as, say, chickens.
Another is that because of the above, turkey feed apparently isn't approved for egg production. A lot of stuff passes from what a bird is fed directly into the eggs, & since turkey eggs aren't a commercial product, turkeys are apparently allowed to be fed foodstuffs that wouldn't be allowed laying chickens.
re: Bacardi1
In the summertime when I was a kid I worked on a ranch, every other sunday the rancher would go fishing on a huge pond he had on the place. He would catch tons of catfish. He'd clean them and the guts would go into a bucket and then get fed to the turkeys, I never tasted an egg, but I can imagine.

Photos: Larsen & Talbert Architect-turned-fashion-designer Patricia Brett talks about creating sexy, flattering swimwear for an overlooked market: women who've had mastectomies.
O: Your swimsuit line is called Veronica Brett—who is she?
Patricia Brett: She was my father's youngest sister, who died of breast cancer at age 44. I wanted the line to reflect Veronica's elegance and optimism. O: Why did you start a swimwear company? PB: When my niece, Gabe, scheduled her mastectomy [like Brett, she underwent a preventive bilateral mastectomy after testing positive for harmful mutations in the BRCA1 gene], she was at peace with her decision. But she'd vent about her swimsuit options: "They look like something out of the '50s!" I also surveyed more than 400 breast cancer survivors, and they felt a lot like Gabe did. That's when I got out my sketchbook. O: How are Veronica Brett suits different? PB: We have three one-piece styles—halter, wrap, and bandeau—that address various issues. They all have thicker, more supportive fabric than typical swimsuits, but they're sexy and flattering, not matronly—they're cut higher on the leg and scoop lower in the back than other postmastectomy suits. O: What's your next goal for the line? PB: Postmastectomy apparel is sold mostly in medical shops and cancer hospital boutiques. We have VeronicaBrett.com, but I'd like women to find what they need at Neiman Marcus and Saks, too. I want to remove the stigma. Halter Strong vertical lines and front-lacing design attract the eye upward toward the face. Wrap Front diagonals flatter larger reconstructed breasts, while side-shirring slims a fuller figure.

Samsung's next-gen NFC smartphones and tablets to get Visa's mobile payment applet
Galaxy S IV expected to include payWave capability embedded
Computerworld - BARCELONA -- Visa's payWave mobile payment applet will be embedded in next-generation Samsung smartphones and tablets enabled with NFC, according to an alliance that both Visa and Samsung announced Monday.
The next-generation Samsung Galaxy S IV, reportedly being announced March 15, is expected to include the Visa payWave applet, several officials for Visa and Samsung said.
Visa announced at Mobile World Congress here that it expects the alliance with Samsung to significantly accelerate NFC (Near Field Communication) mobile payments adoption, including in the U.S., where NFC use in smartphones and NFC-ready payment terminals has been slow to catch on.
Visa rival MasterCard announced earlier Monday that it is expanding its digital wallet service beyond NFC so merchants can allow customers to use QR codes, credit cards and other technologies.
Brad Greene, the head of NFC payments for Visa, admitted there has been some "friction" with NFC payments in the U.S., even though Visa is committed to supporting it. Samsung has been making NFC-ready smartphones for more than a year and heavily advertises the near contact technology for file transfers between NFC smartphones like the Galaxy S III.
Visa struck its alliance with Samsung because Samsung is the largest smartphone maker and produces about half of all Android handsets, Visa officials said.
"Our goal is to extend mobile payments through as many devices and payment technologies as possible, but this arrangement with Samsung is special," Greene said in an interview. "It's an advantage to all parties that the Visa gateway [payWave] is built into the Samsung devices, which allows a smoother activation process....
"Over the long term, any number of payment technologies will be useful, but today we see NFC as the standard because it's based on chip technology."
In the deal with Visa, Samsung has agreed to load the payWave applet onto its mobile devices, embedded in what is called a secure element. That refers to encryption used in a chip in the core of the device. The payWave applet can also function on SIM chips, which can be moved from phone to phone.
Samsung will manage the encryption keys in the secure element of its phones, a capability Visa has delegated to it, Greene said. In turn, Samsung will provide that security capability to banks and mobile carriers to allow users to activate the service over-the-air.
With the alliance, it will be faster, easier and cheaper for banks and carriers to set up mobile payments with NFC, Greene said. Visa payWave is already used in the Isis NFC consortium of AT&T, Verizon Wireless and T-Mobile, as well as in GoogleWallet.
He said the move represents the first global alliance between a credit card company and a manufacturer.
Visa also announced Monday that it has signed a deal with ROAM to support mobile payments with ROAM's white label dongle technology for reading credit cards and smart cards. The ROAM technology is similar to the stamp-sized dongle offered by Square; both are plugged into the headphone port of a smartphone.
ROAM is seen as a way for small merchants, including individuals, to accept credit cards, even in countries where other payment technologies have not yet emerged, Greene said.

If New Jersey had a baseball team, it should be called "THE LOSERS," this according to Snooki ... talk about biting the hand that fed ya.
It's pretty shocking, considering the MTV star spent several years in NJ ... where she lived, boozed and shot her reality show.
But right after she made the comment on the way out of Boa Steakhouse in L.A., the backtracking began ...
Snooks insisted the comment was NOT made to be a shot at Jersey on the whole, but more of a shot at HERSELF and the "Jersey Shore" cast, because "we were all turds back then."
You buyin' that?
Too late....you and your jersey cast already sold yourselves out to the devil...you will be known as fools for the rest of your lives...all for MTV
It usually takes newly-minted celebs years to stop foot-in-mouth syndrome. Some never find the cure. Best of luck in the future, Snooki.
I'm not big on sports but baseball in general is the most BORING sport next to curling in my opinion...its so BORING, i get nauseated when i hear people talking about it...Jersey sucks bad enough (thanks to the eye brow plucking and shaping male guidos)... a baseball team will just tip the scale.....
If New Jersey had a baseball team, it should be called "THE LOSERS," this according to Snooki ... talk about biting the hand that fed ya....................SKANKKK NO TALENT WHOREEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Staal assists on all three Penguins' goals in third period to rally past Oilers
EDMONTON, Alberta -- The Pittsburgh Penguins only needed one good period to beat the struggling Edmonton Oilers.
Jordan Staal set up Pittsburgh's three third-period goals in the Penguins' 3-2 comeback victory Thursday night.
Tyler Kennedy started the Penguins' rally with a goal at 3:18 of the third, Matt Cooke tied it at 6:48 and Pascal Dupuis scored the winner with 9:30 left.
"The first two periods, we obviously didn't come out with our best effort," Staal said. "We shook it off and said we have to change it in the third. And we did. It's not a good thing to have to come back like that. We have to work on being a team that comes out strong every time and we haven't been doing that of late and it has been catching up to us. We can't do this every night."
Coming off a 3-1 victory in Calgary on Wednesday night, the Penguins improved to 3-1 on their five-game trip.
"This is not an easy trip," Penguins captain Sidney Crosby said. "We are playing some very good teams here. I think getting on the road has hopefully simplified some things for us. A lot of times you get on a trip like this and it helps you regroup. Hopefully this is something we can build off of."
Andrew Cogliano and Lubomir Visnovsky scored for Edmonton. The Oilers have lost six straight and have won just once in their last 14 games.
"We do some stuff that I like a lot," Oilers coach Pat Quinn said. "We have played very well against good teams this year and then find a way to disappoint ourselves. That was tough because I thought our team played well and maybe deserved a different result. But we have to quit beating ourselves before we learn to win hockey games."
Edmonton started the scoring on a two-man advantage 1:34 into the second. Patrick O'Sullivan made a nice feed to Cogliano, who stuffed in his own rebound after Marc-Andre Fleury made a terrific kick save on the first attempt.
The Oilers made it 2-0 with another power-play goal with 8 minutes left when Sullivan fed Visnovsky at the point and he blew a hard shot past Fleury.
Pittsburgh finally broke Devan Dubnyk's shutout bid early in the third on Kennedy's shot from the middle of the faceoff circle.
The Penguins tied it on Cooke's power-play goal. Dubnyk was able to stop the initial shot by Staal, but couldn't recover in time to get in front of a backhanded rebound shot by Cooke.
Pittsburgh then took the lead as Staal took a shot from behind the net that banked off of the skate of Dupuis and in. Fleury finished with 33 saves.
Game notes
It was the only meeting between the two teams this season. ... Edmonton goalie Nikolai Khabibulin underwent back surgery in Los Angeles on Thursday and is out for 12 weeks. ... Penguins defenseman Brooks Orpik remained out due to an undisclosed injury. ... The Olympic flame made its way into Rexall Place for a special pregame ceremony on its way to Vancouver for the Olympics.

From a press release:
"David M. Rubenstein, Chairman of the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts, today announced an additional $40 million in gifts for the Kennedy Center expansion project, including a significant leadership pledge from Michael and Noémi Neidorff and the Centene Charitable Foundation. Mr. Neidorff and David Rubenstein serve as co-chairs of the expansion project's capital campaign. With these new commitments and the initial $50 million pledge from Mr. Rubenstein, $90 million has been raised for the Kennedy Center's $125 million campaign. As previously announced, the design and construction costs for the expansion project will be paid for entirely with private funds.
The Kennedy Center's expansion project will be constructed south of the existing facility and will include rehearsal space as well as dedicated classroom space and multipurpose rooms for the Center's extensive arts education programs. Public access spaces will include gardens which will fuse the Kennedy Center with the landscape and river and an outdoor video wall upon which simulcast performances and other multimedia events may be projected. The exteriors will utilize translucent Okalux, glass, and Carrara marble, the same Italian marble which clads the original facility.
The expansion is being designed by Steven Holl and senior partner Chris McVoy of Steven Holl Architects of New York in partnership with BNIM Architects of Kansas City. The expansion is currently in design development and groundbreaking is expected in late 2014. Construction is expected to be completed in 2017."

The following was written by Eating around Town's dcreba. dcreba previously wrote about and shared preview photos of Thally, opening soon in Shaw.
When the local firm GrizForm Design Architects was invited by the owners of Tonic to come and revamp their outdoor space, the first consideration was overall design. "We are immediately sensitive to movement and flow of people," said Brooke Loewen. "Flow and function drive everything that follow."
With this in mind, the designers created a contemporary beer garden in the middle of Foggy Bottom. It was envisioned as the perfect spot for leisure and study sessions during the summer day.
When the bar and restaurant are closed, students from neighboring George Washington University will spread out over the custom designed picnic tables built from light white oak and brightened with powdered metal legs in lively papaya.
Lunchtime would see a mix of local business workers, students, and neighbors. And at nightfall, the expansive outdoor space could take on a biergarten element. The bars, built from mahogany and topped with light colored granite, are cleverly built on industrial casters and can slide, as needed, to create a free form bar. (more…)

Whether or not they'll actually work is another story, but I've had very few problems with that for the past several Firefox versions. There's an about:config setting that turns off the compatibility check (thus eliminating the repacking procedure outlined above), but I'm not sure what it is right now.
Most of my extensions break whenever I install a new Firefox beta. However, if you download the XPI files for the extensions, you can open them in WinZip (or similar) and edit the MaxVersion of the install.rdf file, after which the extensions will at least install.
