I really love this soup because it's wholesome and had a lot of interesting flavors. Since I rarely cook with ground beef I substitute ground turkey & it's still delicious. It's a cold weather staple at my house.

A rising Hill
This could not have come at a worse time with the team trying to build much needed momentum and seeking to gain ground in the Western Conference playoff standings.
The team clearly needed a player who could step up and fill the void that was left by Parker.
It gets better. In 34 starts this season, his production went up to 15.6 points, 3.5 assist and 3.1 rebounds per game and is also versatile enough to switch between point guard and shooting guard spots when he had to play alongside Tony Parker.
In nine games since Parker's injury, has has averaged 14.9 points, 4.8 assist and 3.4 rebounds while shooting 52.1% from the field and 45% from behind the arc. He also led the team in assists four times during that span.
If the stats above didn't impress you, then let's hear it from Coach Pop's own lips: "George Hill has been fantastic; He gets to the rim on offense. He runs the show. He shoots 3-pointers. He's got a great demeanor. We'd be in big trouble without him, with Tony being gone. He's done a really good job." Let's not also forget, Pop refers to Hill as his favorite player. High praise stemming from a no-nonsense coach.
Overall, Hill has looked solid running the point. Earlier this month, he had one of his best all-around performance when he scored 19 points, dished out 8 assist and grabbed 3 boards in a win over the Minnesota Timberwolves. He followed it up with an impressive 14 points, and a career high 11 assists without committing a single turnover in 29 minutes of action on a second night of back-to-backs against the Los Angeles Clippers.
Even his biggest fan, Coach Pop, knows one area Hill needs to improve on -- being more of a vocal leader a la Avery Johnson." I want him to take more control, I want him to be telling people where the hell to go on the court. I want him to tell me where the hell to go. I want him to start taking over. I want him to be Avery." said Popovich.
Regardless, Spurs fans should take comfort knowing a player like Hill, is wearing a Spurs jersey and filling in admirably for the injured Parker. With Parker out, Hill has assumed the role of floor general and steadied the team not only on the offensive end but on the defensive end as well. Case in point, in Sunday's loss to the Hawks, Hill was guarding the taller and bigger Joe Johnson.
Hill has been a "diamond in the rough" for the team and has become another late-round draft day steal for the franchise.

Wireless handwheel for machine tools adds movement, accuracy
Heidenhain's HR 550 FS allows for accurate measurements of machine datum, safer work environments, unrestricted movement around machines. FS stands for functional safety, meaning the handwheel corresponds to the valid requirements for safety, such as an emergency stop button and permissive buttons.
Heidenhain makes an electronic wireless handwheel for use on machine tools: The cordless HR 550 FS handwheel reportedly allows the user to concentrate entirely on the action in the machine's working space by enabling remote control datum setting and probing with free and unrestricted movement around the machine. This also offers the user a safer environment as it eliminates the risk of getting caught in handwheel cables.
Used in conjunction with the Heidenhain iTNC 530 control, this HR 550 FS wireless handwheel communicates with its base via a 2.4 GHz ISM radio band, freely accessible worldwide. The "FS" stands for Functional Safety, meaning the handwheel corresponds to the valid requirements for safety such as an emergency stop button and permissive buttons. If the machine operator moves out of range, it reacts with a vibration alarm.
The colored and raised axis keys of the HR 550 FS wireless handwheel permit traverse of up to six NC axes. In addition, the machine manufacturer can configure an axis key for selection of the so-called "virtual tool axis." The handwheel display itself consists of a header and six status lines. It displays important machine conditions and information (such as position of the selected axis, spindle speed, feed rate, error messages, active basic rotation and tilted working plane) as well as the functions of the five soft keys, which the machine integrator can assign as desired. In addition, the machine tool integrator can freely assign specific functions to the six function keys featuring LED indicators. The symbols for the axis designations and the function keys can be exchanged. In the version with mechanical detent, the traverse per stop can be set.
To ensure that the HR 550 FS wireless handwheel is always ready for the next job, its docking station features an integrated battery charger.

It's halftime in the turkey season for a lot of hunters, and the period when some hunters start seeing turkeys using their walnut-sized brain for some stunning avoidance strategies. And if it's not happening to you yet, it surely will at some point.
Are the turkeys in your hunting location clamping their beaks shut, walking the other way or simply gobbling back, but wearing cement shoes? It's time to toss the garter and see where it lands. Put your turkey-hunting book on the shelf and try a new angle.
Shut up. It's that simple. If you keep calling to a gobbler and it answers, but doesn't budge, it wants you to come to him. Be quiet and sit patiently. Let curiosity kill the turkey. I once had a pair of gobblers going hoarse as they gobbled at my calls, but they wouldn't commit. I shut up and 15 minutes later the duo walked silently into range of my T/C. Game over.
Walk away. Like going silent, you can also spark movement by continuing to call, but moving in the opposite direction or even circling around the gobbler. Stay in thick cover and make a move. I pulled this trick on an open-country gobbler and, when I dropped down into a deep draw, he almost ran me over trying to catch up. Unfortunately for him, all he caught was a beak full of 5s.
Come back later. Mornings are tough and not because you didn't have two pots of coffee. Gobblers hit the ground with a posse of girls, so they really don't need to come to your calls. Midmorning and even early afternoon (if legal) are great times to fire up a gobbler that has lost hens to nesting chores. My wife and I left work at 5 p.m. one spring and by 6 p.m. were turkey hunting. A gobbler returned my H.S. box call yelps and we set up on the spot. Ten minutes later a strutting gobbler with a hen walked within 20 yards of her shotgun. Boom. End of story.
Go get them. Sometimes you have to take the love to the turkey. If you have thick cover, move toward the gobbler and then set up before you blow the stalk. In open country you may have to crawl closer to cut the distance. Last week my daughter and I couldn't get three mature toms to leave a wooded bottom. We crawled closer in an open pasture and one spotted me. I immediately raised our decoy and the gobbler nearly strutted on top of us trying to get a date. Yes, she sent him to the oven with a 9-yard shot. I'll post that exciting video next week.
Have you tried any oddball or unusual tactics for tough turkeys?
Post your comments and share them with other frustrated members.

Who knew KeKe Palmer had so many tattoos and piercings. And what type of shade did Katy Perry throw at Mariah Carey? Find out inside…
KeKe Palmer is on her promo rounds for a new Lifetime movie she is starring in alongside Vanessa Williams, Cicely Tyson and Blair Underwood titled "The Trip to Bountiful."
The "TLC Story" star stopped by "106 & Park" yesterday and she revealed a couple of things we may have not known about the childhood actress.
Since it was #WomanCrushWednesday, when asked about HER woman crush, she said, "Definitely my girl RiRi. "
'106 & Park' hosts Bow Wow and Keshia Chante asked her a series of questions where she had to choose between two things she would give up over the other:
Instagram or Twitter: KeKe chose giving up Instagram because she said she can still post pics on Twitter and she is able to give her speeches. She said, "I need to be able to do my rants."
Tattoos or Piercings: KeKe said she would give up tattoos because she LOVES piercings. She said she has 5 tattoos and 7 piercings. She showed off her tattoos but wouldn't reveal where her 7 piercings are. Umm...Ok KeKe!
Heels or Flats: "I can definitely give up heels in a minute. I'm definitely a flat girl. Converse [sneakers] are my favorite."
Hair products or make-up: "Definitely can give up the hair products. I can wrap my hair, I don't need a product for it to be straight in the morning," she responded. She said she posts pics on Instagram all the time of her wrapping her hair.
So who would KeKe pick between Beyonce and Rihanna? She couldn't choose!
Singing or acting: She couldn't answer that one either because she said she loves them both and it's hard for her to choose.
KeKe then talked about her new flick, "The Trip to Bountiful." She said it is a Broadway adaptation and she plays a character named Thelma. KeKe also shared she has two other movies coming out: "Animal" which is a horror movie produced by Drew Barrymore and "Brotherly Love" which is a coming of age story produced by Queen Latifah.
Check out KeKe's interview below:
And in another interview...
"Dark House" singer Katy Perry recently did an interview on Australian morning show Live On Sunrise and in the interview she called Mariah Carey "throwback fabulous"
Now…some would say Ms. Perry was throwing a bit of shade at the iconic Mariah Carey.
The interviewers called Katy the biggest female entertainer in the world and she responded "No Beyonce is…duh"
Then the interviewer said "we had one guy say Mariah Carey was" in which Katy responds: "Well, she's fabulous for a throwback, fabulous!"
Katy quickly tried to bring it back saying, "We love Fantasy. I mean…Honey. I love Honey. I sang all those songs growing up. Her with Boys 2 Men in the studio 'One Sweet Day' with her little dog. Oh my God I love that" Hilar!
Slight shade? Maybe half a palm tree?
Check out Katy's interview about Mariah starting at the 7:11 mark:

Bobbi Kristina Brown Gordon turned 21 this past Tuesday. And she's allegedly celebrating by spending some of her new inheritance money on spending some extended time in L.A. with Nick Gordon...and by keeping it very mouthy on Twitter.
Deets inside...
Now that Bobbi Kris is 21, she allegedly gets $2 million of her full $20 million inheritance from her mother's estate, according to previous reports. And a source close to the Houston family tells us that her expanded bank account is to blame for her and Nick Gordon's recent actions, at least in part.
Even though the fight between Nick and Gary Michael Houston happened back in December, it seems odd that Nick publicized it himself just this week. And used some pretty strong words against the very Houston family whom he's spent many years with.
Our source tells us, it's almost as if the two feel like they can do whatever they want...now that BK's got at least some of her money. And that money is now THEIR money...since BK and Nick coincidentally got married recently.
These recent tweets from Nick appear to have a bit of hostility behind them...or is he now feeling empowered?
"@nickdgordon: Shit. Fuck. Hot Dam I'm the mutha fuckin shit" Amen my darling LOVE ! Bahahahahah fuck all dat!
— Bobbi Kristina H.G. (@REALbkBrown) March 6, 2014
" Seems like motha fuckaaas should be shutting the hell up && enjoy the show.." #NiggaWeMadeit! #DannyMcbride. @nickdgordon inspiration!
— Bobbi Kristina H.G. (@REALbkBrown) March 6, 2014
Me and @REALbkBrown will be together forever there is no splitting up. We've been through it all.
— Nick Gordon (@nickdgordon) March 6, 2014
Meanwhile, Nick praised his wife with this salute today, which Bobbi Kris happily RT'd:
I gotta bad bitch @REALbkBrown pic.twitter.com/vPMjNiwXq4
— Nick Gordon (@nickdgordon) March 6, 2014
And she showed off a b-day present from him this week as well:
Thank you all for my birthday wishes !! @nickdgordon I love you more then you'll ever know! Always nxt 2U:) #B&C pic.twitter.com/LWcjIT1a3d

Get ready for some afternoon foolery starring "LAHH ATL" star Stevie J and Lil Boosie's kids.....
It's no secret that Stevie J (who wrote multiple hits in the 90s and early 2000s) had a few financial setbacks that left him in debt to the IRS and behind on child support. It's also no secret that his breakout success on "LAHH ATL" has made him and wife (or whatever) Joseline Hernandez what we would call...hood rich.
Now....we do not know how Stevie J spends his money (although we know some of it goes in thongs and g-strings at the club, Joseline's thons and g0strings that is), but a pic on Joseline's Instagram has folks wondering if his money goes up his nose.
A recent pic of him and Joseline in their car (likely on their way to an appearance) shows a few specs of what appears to be a whiteish substance on his left nostril. Maybe it's a camera glare? You can always blur things like that out. There's an app for it...surely. But hopefully it's just the camera glare. For Stevie's sake...
In other foolery:
In case you haven't heard, "Wipe Me Down" rapper Lil Boosie was released from a Louisiana State Penitentiary this week. He'd been locked up since 2009 on drug charges. He was released early, and now, his kids (there are SEVERAL) have a reason to celebrate.
First, his daughter:
Now, his son, rapping on eof his songs at "an appearance"...
Didn't Whitney say, "I believe the children are our future. Teach them well and let them lead the way."?
Sad and unnecessary. And an example of what NOT to teach your kids.

Report: Jay Pandolfo To Undergo Shoulder Surgery
Jay Pandolfo, who sat out the entire first-round series against the Philadelphia Flyers, will undergo shoulder surgery Tuesday to repair a torn labrum.
Pandolfo missed 17 games early in the season after sustaining the shoulder injury in a game against Pittsburgh on October 24. In that game, Rupp hit Pandolfo from behind, injuring the shoulder.
Pandolfo played with the injury the entire season.
There has been no talk about Pandolfo's future with the team. The winger, who had 131 games of playoff experience, sat out while rookies like Matt Corrente started in his place. Pandolfo admitted being disappointed, but he dealt with the situation.
"When you're not playing in the playoffs you want to try and stay positive and not be a distraction," he said. "On the other side of it, you don't really feel part of it."
Pandolfo, who met with general manager Lou Lamoriello, has not been asked to waive his no-trade clause.

I <3 anything by the Muppets. Have you seen their version of O Danny Boy?
Usually I would consider any one covering a Queen Song to be inferior to the original, but I think Freddie would have been proud to inspire such a hilarity (there was also a Mountain Dew commercial ) www.youtube.com/watch?v=k1tg2l_yqZY

And I'm really, REALLY excited because it's finally the holiday season and I can watch The Muppets Christmas Together (possibly my favorite Christmas movie ever, even though it's old and they don't show it on TV anymore) and A Muppet Christmas Carol (I can sing along to all of the songs. Seriously) without getting weird looks from my roommates.
My gym plays a classic rock channel from XM Radio all the time, and the Muppets singing Bohemian Rhapsody was being raved about by the DJ earlier this afternoon.
LMFAO the Habanera was hysterical!!!! I had just discovered the Bohemian Rhapsody on Tuesday following a Muppet Search after seeing "Jim Henson's World" at the Michener Museum in Doylestown!

GAINESVILLE, Fla. (AP) - Casey Prather is the latest Florida player on the mend.
Prather will be out 10 to 14 days, including Thursday's game at Texas A&M, after sustaining a high-ankle sprain in Saturday's win at LSU. Prather, a junior averaging 6.8 points and 3.3 rebounds, was wearing a walking boot on his left foot and using crutches Monday.
The 10th-ranked Gators (12-2, 2-0 Southeastern Conference) already are dealing with injuries to guard Mike Rosario, guard Scottie Wilbekin, forward Erik Murphy and forward Will Yeguete.
Rosario sat out Saturday's game with a sprained left ankle, but has been cleared to practice and play. Wilbekin (finger) and Murphy (rib) are playing with broken bones, and Yeguete is getting more tests to see if there are more issues than tendinitis in his right knee.

Fountain returns to the 69th Regiment Armory, where it will feature over 80 galleries, artist collectives, individual artists, and performers. This year will focus on engaging visitors through interactive installations and performances, and an emphasis on introducing new collectors to an international survey of emerging contemporary art in the debut of a new series of panel discussions.
Read On...The Benefit Sale will support the Lower East Side Printshop's studio residencies for contemporary artists including access to professional equipment, master printer assistance, financial assistance, exhibitions, and career advancement services.
Read On...Apartment 2B is an installation in which Elizabeth Duffy transforms the main gallery space into a domestic environment that is realistic and almost credible, until one takes a closer look only to realize that the patterns throughout the space seem strangely familiar - they are the same patterns found lining security envelopes that bills get mailed in to keep sensitive information protected and private.
In the project room of the gallery, is another thought provoking installation, The Cheryl Yun Collection / Storefront, in which Cheryl Yun sets up a high-end boutique that displays one-of-a-kind, meticulously handcrafted lingerie, and handbags as well as her recent line of string bikinis.In 1935 Walter Benjamin coined the term aura, a description of an aesthetic experience that was difficult to convey in words, which he had encountered when observing specific objects: a kind of atmospheric condensing, which seemingly revealed the essence of the objects, a simultaneous feeling of great proximity and distance. The works in adopted, the new exhibition by Michail Pirgelis at Sprüth Magers in Berlin, tend to conjure up Benjamin's notion of the aura.

New Zealand rugby's goal of winning two golds in Sevens at the 2016 Olympics has been boosted by a significant investment commitment from High Performance Sport New Zealand (HPSNZ) announced today.
The New Zealand Rugby Union (NZRU) thanked HPSNZ for its support in helping the All Blacks Sevens and New Zealand Women's Sevens teams achieve their Olympic dreams in Rio de Janeiro in 2016.
"We're really excited to be part of the Olympic team for 2016 and this investment is a great boost to our plans to win two golds," said NZRU Chief Executive Steve Tew.
The All Blacks Sevens will receive $1.2 million in 2013 and indicative support of the same amount for the following three years. HPSNZ has also committed $800,000 to the New Zealand Women's Sevens team over 2013 and 2014.
"The investment underlines the confidence HPSNZ has in our plans. The financial support, along with HPSNZ's considerable Olympic experience and the quality of its people will go a long way to helping us realise our goals.
"Winning in Rio will need a team approach and our partnership with HPSNZ will ensure our athletes have the support they need to win gold in Rio."
Tew said the teams' Olympic plans were well on track.
"There is still a long way to go, but we are right where we expect to be at this stage in our plans and are really pleased with how the men's and women's teams have performed so far this season."
The All Blacks Sevens lead the IRB Sevens World Series by 14 points having won the recent South African leg while the Women's Sevens triumphed in Dubai in the first leg of the new women's series.
"We're confident that our plans, combined with financial and other support from HPSNZ, will put our teams in the best possible position to win gold when they arrive in Rio in 2016," said Tew.

"It's not a difficult day…just a different day."
I was lucky enough to learn this phrase from a wise old Tai Chi instructor on a beach. I wish I could remember his name so I could credit him. He was about 85 but had the energy and twinkle of a man 20 years his junior. He'd lived his life calmly, let life's storms wash over him and dealt with them with grace and without fuss.
This ability to reframe the negative and casually normalise it was all in his mind. I hope to learn to have it in mine one day.
What words help you get past a bad day?
How do you make a bad day good?
28 responses
My day's just starting, but your cartoon and post have already made it brighter… : )
Hi Mark, thanks for reconnecting. I'm inspired by your illustrations. You've just landed another follower!
Grace is what I strive for, but often fail to hit the mark! Work in progress!
Grace. Thanks for reminding me of that wonderful word. Have you ever heard "Grace," the album by Jeff Buckley? It's quite stunning.
Very cool quote.
The song from the musical Annie. My mom used to sing it to me when I had a bad day…"The sun'll come out, tomorrow, bet your bottom dollar, they'll be sun." I sing it to my kids now. Thank you for a great post.
What a fantastic memory and remedy. I must check that Annie soundtrack out. Thanks
"This, too, shall pass."
Remembering impermanence is a helpful thing, isn't it? Thanks, I like your saying. I'll tuck that one away as a note to self when things go awry.
I always liked, "Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, today is a gift that's why it's called 'the present'.
This is a great one, thanks a lot.
What a beautiful quote.
Another one that I love is "Just because today is a terrible day, doesn't mean tomorrow won't be the best day of your life. You just gotta get there…"
Nice one. I like your avatar btw.
Thanks! =)
Perhaps it sounds a little black, but sometimes I tell myself – in 500 years no-one will give a f***!!
It's a way of making myself smile – but also of putting my troubles into perspective. Is it REALLY such a big deal? We are, after all, just clouds of cosmic dust that learned to smile-
Nice. Direct and cuts through. Perspective is so important, I agree. Thanks for that.
"Progress is progress." It's a shorthand quote of my own I use to remind myself that any progress at all is movement in the right direction. It doesn't all have to get done at once, it just has to be moving at all. Baby steps are still steps. Progress is progress.
Hi Jessica. I'm liking your quote. It gives power to small achievements and takes the pressure off. Very appropriate to me today as I stayed up too late blogging last night and suffered today with fatigue! Smaller steps (less blogging) would have been equally fine.
Wow. I love this quote a lot. Thanks for sharing- I'll definitely keep this in mind the next time I wake up on the wrong side of the bed XD
Hiya, thanks for that. I guess every days are different in their own way.
12 Steps and other wisdom pontificate that it's a matter or attitude and how you look at things. I don't see losing one's job and the house burning down as a "growth opportunity".
Carl, I am feeling the energy of your comment and totally agree with you. All the positive attitude in the world will not bring back a destroyed house. There are days for which we have to hold our hands up and say life can be shit. I'm the first to admit. I've held the hands of loved ones whilst they pass away, been made redundant twice and cried at the funeral of my best friend, aged 23. Probably nothing compared to most people but I understand what you're saying. Every idea has a flaw if you look hard enough and the pain of a sad memory of a tragic day is hard to shift. I can't begin how tough it would be to lose your house and I'm deeply moved. It makes me want to help in some small way. Still, I believe in hope at least and so for all those other days, no matter how hard, I try to perceive things in the way that I do. I wish you what I can from where I can.
Cheers. I like your quote a lot too. It's on your home page if I remember rightly. A good mate of mine has done some week-long meditation retreats ( pranayama, I think) and he mentioned that seeing everything as "temporary" was key to first acknowledging pain and then letting it float away…Have you done much meditation?
Yes, meditation (pranayam) is an important part of my life. I do it every morning and it is a great way to start the day. Have you done pranayam or any other meditation?
That's dedication. I practise ashtanga yoga about 4 times a week in the mornings before work, which tends to be an implicitly meditative process. I end it with 5 minutes simple breathing meditation. Learning more about meditation and doing it for longer stretches would no doubt help me as I tend to be active both mentally and physically. I tried sitting in silence for 6 bouts of half an hour with a group of meditators once and found it hard yet rewarding. I would very much welcome any practical suggestions or recommendations you may have.
Really nice phrase, I would love to keep it in my favorite quotes list.
I love a quote that helped me past the bad days:
"Everything in life is temporary. So if things are going good, enjoy it because it won't last forever. And if things are going bad, don't worry. It can't last forever either."-
Thanks for that, it would be great to have a quote in your favourites list. Like your quote too.

Ted's Review said:
Daniel has what's called "high functioning" autism. He is able to communicate extremely well and this book gives you a great idea of what it's like to be autistic. He is more of a reporter, without the "normal" emotions of others -- and this is made clear when you read what he writes. His fascination with math was a bit tedious to me (he memorized Pi to 21,000 decimal places!), but he is extremely likable and this book is a quick and fascinating read. You will find yourself experiencing a lot of empathy for someone who finds this to be such a difficult emotion.

Wall stickers
Great for both girls and boys, this collection of polka-dot stickers is a perfect way to foster creativity, cooperative play, and fun! Each of the four sheets includes a number of circle stickers of varying size and color, each of which can be removed and reapplied with ease. And there is no need to worry about damaging surfaces, as the adhesive on these stickers is designed not to come off the sticker, but rather stay where it is needed, allowing you to use the sticker over and over again.
These stickers will work on just about any surface, but take care with wallpaper or some delicate surfaces. If in doubt, test in an inconspicuous place prior to applying all the stickers. Also, wait 10 to 15 days after painting before using stickers. Though the paint feels dry, it needs adequate time to "cure." As with any adhesive product, these will work much better on clean surfaces free of dust and the like. Specifically, they will work well on surfaces including but not limited to walls, mirrors, your fridge, laptop covers, tile, glass, lockers, furniture, and automotive surfaces.
