Slow Cooker Loaded Mashed Potatoes
Every year my Mom made cream cheese mashed potatoes for Thanksgiving, and I've tailored the recipe to my family and have carried on the tradition. I also make them in a slow cooker, which is convenient because I make the potatoes a day ahead, freeing up oven space. —Ann Nolte, Tampa, Florida
10 Servings

3 pounds potatoes (about 9 medium), peeled and cubed
1 package (8 ounces) cream cheese, softened

1-1/2 cups (6 ounces) shredded pepper jack cheese
1/2 pound bacon strips, cooked and crumbled
4 green onions, chopped
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
Place potatoes in a Dutch oven and cover with water. Bring to a boil.

Best Doughnuts in Vegas
- sku Mar 15, 2010 11:12 AM
I've heard good things about Ronald's. Has anyone been or have any other places to add?
re: shamu613
i gotta take issue - the apple fritter at Ronalds can compete with the so cal donut spots.
Don't get me wrong, i'm a donut man fan ( lived about 3 miles away )
Loved primo's on the westside ( buttermilk and the cinnamon rolls )
Bob's @ farmer's mkt
Stan's in Westwood
Randy's near LAX
Are you focused on the westide vs. Eastside ?
re: shamu613
Spent a long week in Los Angeles at the end of June 2011. (This thread is getting old) Waled into one of my favorite donut shops at 11:00PM one night to see a completely full case and a variety at least quadruple that of any Las Vegas donut shop's selection when they open first thing in the morning.
This town is dismal when it comes to donuts.
In the Venetian, there is a Boucheon Bakery, right near the entrance from the Palazzo that has great pastry. I picked up two doughnuts that I really liked.
I'm with KJS on this one. I'm very familiar with all of the L.A. places that KJS mentions (Primo's was a childhood hangout and Randy's is walking distance from my brother's) and I think Ronald's offerings are comparable in quality. I haven't had better doughnuts in Vegas since the first couple years of the original location of Lamar's (on far west Sahara).
re: jackattack
yes - he's my 2nd fav in town - my office is about 1/2 mile away - he's a character and the donuts are decent.
re: jackattack
I like his donuts, as well. Donut Tyme on E Charleston can be very good, when fresh (IE: @ 2am!!)
I wake up too late to ever eat Ronald's donuts. Friends do tell me they are great, tho.
re: vegasjlt
Was in Ronald's hood today. Bought 3 donuts. There one in the pic below was huge. Tasty. A cinnamon twist. Oddly it didn't taste much of cinnamon as I was eating it, but ten minutes later I get a very nice lingering spice.
re: westie
4-1/2 holes?
I just went to Puck's new place Brasserie Puck and had the best Banana Beignets ever. They are pricey but unbelievably tasty, $11 for 4 small donuts, Banana Foster Ice Cream and some caramel sauce.
LA has more donut places per capita than any other city in the country. Lots of competition there breeds better donut places. The best apple fritters I have ever had was at some little mom and pop place in Redondo Beach. Now if I really want one I get it from 7-11. Not the best but it satisfies my craving for it. I have not tried Ronalds. Will have to try it someday.
re: Illuminatus
What's the name and/or location of that place in RB? I'm close by...thanks
re: ristretto
Not sure the name of it. It's on Artesia. There are a few on Artesia though. It's in the same strip mall as a Japanese place called Rice Things. I haven't had it in about 5 years though so maybe it's not the same.
re: Illuminatus
Illusminatus, is the Redondo Beach donut shop called Artesia Donut House (same address as Rice Things but different suite number, of course)
Artesia Donut House
2401 Artesia Blvd
Redondo Beach
310 214-0091
re: Norm Man
That must be it. The name eludes my memory but if the address matches up, then that it is. They had great apple fritters there but I haven't had one in a long time. Of course, they were made just how I like them. Fried for a longer time so the apple fritter is almost crunchy, which I love. Not sure if that would please everyone.
re: Dave Feldman
Yes. I've been there a couple of times very early in the morning when something wakes at o'dark thirty. I've gone there at 6:00AM and just before 7:00AM to what I would describe as an abysmal lack of variety. 8 different cake donuts, 6 different yeasts, a fritter, a cinnamon bun and a couple of twists. Maybe six trays total.
That being said, I bought a raspberry filled, a crumb glazed and cinnamon bun. All were very good. Not small like Krispy Kreme not huge like Blinkie's Donut Emporium in Topanga Canyon in Woodland Hills. Good size, fresh and tasty,
Went back another time at 10:40AM. Locked up tight with the cases still full of product. Sign on the door states the operating hours are 8:00AM to 10:30AM. Seems to be flexible on the opening but hard and fast on the closing. Maybe he has another job?
I wish he would donate that to a food shelter.
re: shamu613
I grew up in Calabasas and graduated from Calabasas High School. A daily Blinkie run during school was standard (as long as you brought one back for Dr. Botsford, the principal). I sure do miss Blinkies. It is the standard by which I measure all other doughnuts.
re: selfportrait93
I love donuts, can someone send me some of these coveted Blinkies?
My friends and fellow doughnut fiends, I have heard some very good things from reliable sources about a small doughnut shop in a not-so-nice area of town that sells some killer D's. I have yet to try them myself but intend to ASAP. If anyone wants to beat me to it and let us all know what you think, here is the info:
re: Illuminatus
Sounds great. I'm totally there on my next trip.

Today, nearly 1 in 3 children in America is overweight or obese. Providing these children with access to quality health care and nutrition is cost-effective and can play an important role in their development. The childhood obesity crisis affects millions of children. Child obesity rates have tripled among school-aged children and adolescents over the past thirty years and are affecting children at younger and younger ages. Nearly 32 percent of American children are overweight or obese.
Minority and low-income children are disproportionately affected by childhood obesity. Compared with White children, Hispanic children and Black children are more likely to be overweight or obese.
Children's lifestyles contribute to high rates of childhood obesity. Children need a healthy diet and regular physical activity to support optimal growth and brain development.
Disparities in a child's physical environment increase their chances of being overweight or obese. Being at risk for obesity depends greatly on whether a child has access to nutritious food, recreation centers, and safe neighborhoods.
Children who are overweight or obese are at greater risk for serious health problems. Overweight children are increasingly likely to suffer from illnesses that can affect their ability to live long, healthy, and productive lives.
Childhood obesity and its related health conditions are a significant source of medical costs for families and for our country.
Obesity interferes with children's daily activities and education, contributing to substantial indirect costs of childhood overweight and obesity. Obesity can affect children's ability to learn, play sports with their peers, and develop strong self-esteem, and can prevent them from reaching their full potential.
Overweight and obese children who have access to quality healthcare, healthy food, and regular activity have improved health status and development. Expanding access to health coverage and federal nutrition programs for children, enhancing the dietary quality of school meals, increasing physical education in schools, and improving neighborhood safety are all important to managing childhood obesity.
Poor health in childhood can cast long shadows later in life; consequently, good health, nutrition, and activity throughout childhood are essential for children and for the adults and workers they will become. All children must have access to comprehensive, affordable, and accessible healthcare.
*Income below federal poverty level.
**Four percent in a community where the median income was over $100,000 versus 37 percent in a community with a median income of about $30,000.

Tosh.0 is an American television show that stars comedian Daniel Tosh and runs on Comedy Central. The show is a clip show in the style of The Soup that focuses on the internet. The show was originally scheduled to only air for ten episodes, but it became unexpectedly popular (alongside being cheap to make), causing Comedy Central to greenlight more episodes. It is currently in its fourth season and follows a relatively consistent format.The first part consists of Daniel showing a string of videos (and occasionally images) found on the internet with humorous commentary about each one. Usually he'll pick one picture or video from the bunch and "put 20 seconds on the clock" note and see how many funny comments he can make in that time. Daniel ends the segment by looking at the last clip more closely in the "Video Breakdown", where he pauses the clip while showing it and shows parts in slow motion to dissect it and give himself time to make more quips.The second part of the show (and probably its most unique aspect) usually consists of a "Web Redemption", in which a person who has embarrassed him/herself in an online video is brought on the show and given a chance to "redeem" themselves. The segment usually starts with an interview in which Daniel asks his guest about the background of the video in question, usually followed by some sort of training, then finally, the redemption itself. If the person was trying to do something and failed in their attempt, their redemption will usually be for them to try again and succeed. They have done some variations on this segment, such as a "Web Investigation" where they find if a video was faked.The third part of the show is more variable in what it features. Originally, Daniel would feature an original celebrity video during this part, though he has, as of late, used the part to interview internet celebrities or just show more videos, with longer commentary on each one. There are some recurring segments that also show up in this part of the show, including "Is it Racist?" and "Guess What Happens Next", both of which are pretty self-explanatory. The Viewer Video of the Week is also usually shown during this part, before the commercial break. It's not uncommon for Daniel to also use the fourth segment to show a longer video with more commentary than usual.The fourth and final segment was once not very significant but now frequently features the show's fans in some way, either through their tweets or through videos they send in. These segments usually begin with Daniel describing the theme of the segment and what he did to get the fans to send in their tweets or videos, followed by showing the tweets/videos themselves. Whenever possible, the tweets/videos usually insult Daniel in some way; frequent targets include his sexuality, the perceived lack of humor in his show, and his mother.For each season, they usually air half during the winter/spring, take a few weeks off, then air the other half during the summer/fall.
This show provides examples of:

We love Indian food in our house, I know that confession was a total surprise right?! And what I personally love even more is a challenge. I try to put a realistic spin on traditional recipes and make them more doable and easy to incorporate in our everyday lives. Let's be real who has the time to wait on a dish that would take 2 hours to prep and cook, not me, I have more important things like a cranky stubborn toddler who develops a mighty personality when it is time for mama to work. So planning and make ahead meals have been my best friends.
I love slow cookers and I love how they can make our lives so much easier. There are tons of recipes online to make slow cooker everything….but very few Indian dishes. This year I want to come up with more slow cooker recipes.
Today I have a Black Eyed Peas Curry that I tried made on New Year's Day. I cooked the beans in advance, so the slow cooker cook time was reduced to 2.5 hours on high/4 hours on low. I cooked this on a holiday so I plugged in the cooker at 7am in the morning and by 10:30, lunch was almost ready.
If this was something I had to do for a weekday meal, I would either cook it the evening before i.e. start it at about 6/6:30 pm and cook on high, so its ready at about 9:30. Transfer it to the fridge and reheat it and serve on the day of with some fresh herbs on top. If you have the flexibility of coming home at lunch then you can set the cooker up on low and welcome the aroma once you come back from work.
- 1.5 cups of dry beans soaked overnight or for at least 6 hours.
- Spices: 1 tsp garam masala powder, 1 tbsp coriander powder, 1/2 tsp cayenne pepper
- 1 deseeded serrano pepper/ jalapeno pepper
- 1 bay leaf
- 1 cinnamon stick
- 1 small onion chopped
- 1 cup crushed tomatoes
- 1 garlic clove
- 2 cups stock
- 1 tbsp ketchup
- cilantro for garnishing
- Soak beans for at least 4-6 hours, preferably overnight before adding to the slow cooker
- Spray the slow cooker with some cooking spray and add all the ingredients but the crushed tomatoes.
- Let it cook for ~3.5 hours depending up on the power of your crockpot or on low for 6 hours.
- Once the beans are cooked, add the crushed tomatoes, ketchup and salt+pepper. Then ladle about half the bean mixture out and puree it. Add them back to the crockpot and let it go for about 20 minutes on high.
- Serve whenever ready, you can thin it out using some almond or coconut milk to make it extra creamy.
- Garnish with cilantro and lemon juice!
Let me know if you try the recipe, I'd love to hear what you think about it.

Franklin Concepcion, 25, of Ringgold faces a rape charge after he allegedly took a woman from Erlanger hospital's emergency room and sexually assaulted her in an x-ray room. Concepcion works as a technician at the hospital, according to a Chattanooga Police Department arrest report.
CHATTANOOGA, TN - The story is shocking when you first hear it--a possible rape involving a hospital employee and patient. However, Franklin Concepcion's version of events are far different from his accuser's.
The patient claims Erlanger triage technician Franklin Concepcion raped her in an x-ray room in November. The judge has sent the case to the grand jury, but even she admits it's a "very difficult" case.
Erlanger suspended Franklin Concepcion without pay in November. He was arrested last month on rape charges after DNA samples from the exam room came back a match to him. His attorney is building a case to disprove the allegations.

It's been an interesting time in Oyster Bay covering the many different groups - and it appears that they may be coming together, focusing on items and events that will help the hamlet in the future.
The full announcement of the new sweeper for the hamlet has not been made but the sweeper in itself, to be purchased and operated by the Town of Oyster Bay using a grant from NYS Senator Carl Marcellino, will be a great boon to the area. There is a wicked wind that blows up from the waterfront and down Audrey Avenue that picks up litter and dirt in swirling dirt devils. It needs constant cleanup.
The chamber mentioned at its February meeting that new member Bill DiConza, Esq. will be looking into creating a Business Improvement District for the hamlet. The concept is to get landlords involved with improving the area. The system has been used in many communities in Nassau County with much success.
One of the constant problems with the hamlet is garbage - the literal kind of garbage. It appears that many landlords in the business district do not have places where tenants can get rid of their household garbage and as a result they leave their trash in the receptacles put out for street-trash.
Household garbage overloads the baskets; and while it solves the renter's problem, it creates a new one on the streetscape.
We hope that the concept of a BID is considered as a viable option but most of all we hope it will begin to solve the litter problem in the hamlet. Oyster Bay Chamber of Commerce member Sally Robillitto has been working with the town on the garbage problem and at the installation dinner last month, she thanked Ray Starke and his supervisor Mike Rich for doing a great job for the hamlet.
Over the years, the Oyster Bay Chamber of Commerce has always put parking and garbage on their list of problems to solve. We hope this might be a start on one of the solutions.
The problem of parking is another basket of worms we have written about over the years.
In our opinion if the Town of Oyster Bay cleans up Firemen's Field it will help solve some of the ongoing parking problem in the hamlet. If Firemen's Field has trees and benches people will flock to park there. As they said in the movie Field of Dreams, "Build it and they will come." Working together you can make things happen! - DFK

Fish Still Our Best Source of Omega-3 Fat
Karen Collins, MS, RD, CDN
American Institute for Cancer Research
Fish offers our best dietary source of omega-3 fat, the type of fat identified as protective against heart disease, dementia, inflammation and potentially cancer. But with several different types of omega-3s and varying amounts in different varieties of fish and other foods, consumers are often confused about how best to maximize their dietary intake.
Omega-3 fat includes both ALA, which is found in plant foods such as flax, walnuts and canola oil, and EPA and DHA, found only in seafood and algae. Health experts used to consider all three together when evaluating the benefits of omega-3 fats, but evidence increasingly shows that humans are relatively inefficient at converting ALA into EPA and DHA.
Unfortunately, most Americans do not eat enough fish to obtain the levels of EPA and DHA identified as protective. Fish consumption averages about 2.5 to 3 ounces a day in the U.S., much of which includes fish that is relatively low in omega-3 fat like shrimp, pollock, tilapia and catfish. To meet current recommendations, Americans are encouraged to choose fish that are naturally high in fat: examples include salmon, mackerel, trout, sardines and albacore (white) tuna.
The good news: A mere 8 ounces of fatty/oily fish per week is all that is needed to reach the recommended amount of omega-3s for preventive heart health benefits (500 milligrams of EPA and DHA per day). People who already have heart disease should try to average 1000 mg per day, consuming about 16 ounces of fatty fish per week. Those with elevated blood triglycerides may benefit from 2000 to 4000 mg a day, but this will almost always require supplements and should be taken under a physician's care.
With EPA and DHA-specific recommendations, questions arise about whether vegetarians and others who don't eat fish can get equal health benefits from high intake of ALA. Several studies link higher ALA consumption with lower heart disease, but it's not clear whether nonfish-eaters are protected through dietary sources like flaxseed oil and walnuts alone, or if using EPA and DHA-fortified foods or algal supplements provides further protection.
The protective effects of omega-3 fats seem to come by increasing body production of anti-inflammatory hormone-like compounds called eicosanoids. But this benefit may be diminished if other polyunsaturated fats – omega-6 fats – are eaten in excess. These fats (found in corn and safflower oil and fish like farmed tilapia and catfish) boost production of different eicosanoids that increase inflammation. While some research focuses on finding an ideal dietary ratio between the two fats, this approach is hotly debated. Rather, many experts recommend that we simply focus our attention on increasing the amount of omega-3 sources in our diet. The best advice to meet this goal: Eat at least two servings of high omega-3 fish (oily fish) per week.
Today research is giving us a clearer picture of how omega-3 fat protects our hearts; promoting normal blood pressure, heart rhythm and blood clotting seem to be its strongest effects. Studies also show that omega-3 fat, in utero and during infancy, clearly benefit babies' visual and nervous system development. Experts are trying to encourage women of childbearing age to consume 8 to 12 ounces of seafood weekly, simply avoiding those fish highest in mercury.
Lastly, researchers are starting to look at a potential link between omega-3 consumption and cancer protection. While a major report on diet and cancer risk did not find any concrete evidence, it did note that some emerging (though limited) research suggests a link between fish consumption and lower risk of colon cancer. Additional laboratory studies suggest that omega-3's anti-inflammatory effects could reduce cancer development, but studies are not consistent. If a link does exist, it is possible that the benefit of omega-3 fish is being obscured by studies that look at total fish consumption, grouping fish high in omega-3 fat together with low fat fish and batter-covered fish high in omega-6 fat.
The American Institute for Cancer Research (AICR) is the cancer charity that fosters research on the relationship of nutrition, physical activity and weight management to cancer risk, interprets the scientific literature and educates the public about the results. It has contributed more than $100 million for innovative research conducted at universities, hospitals and research centers across the country. AICR has published two landmark reports that interpret the accumulated research in the field, and is committed to a process of continuous review. AICR also provides a wide range of educational programs to help millions of Americans learn to make dietary changes for lower cancer risk. Its award-winning New American Plate program is presented in brochures, seminars and on its website, www.aicr.org. AICR is a member of the World Cancer Research Fund International.All active news articles

Redskins Waive D.J. Johnson
The cornerback fell out of favor with the Redskins after struggling Dec. 23 against Philadelphia and finished the season on injured reserve with a sprained ligament in his left knee.
By ZAC BOYER
The Washington Redskins have released cornerback D.J. Johnson, who was subsequently signed by Detroit, the NFL announced.
Johnson, who finished the season on injured reserve after spraining a ligament in his left knee against Dallas on Dec. 30, had eight tackles in seven games with the Redskins.
He took over as the team's nickelback when Cedric Griffin was suspended for a violation of the league's policy on performance-enhancing substances on Dec. 4, but struggled against Philadelphia on Dec. 23 and was replaced in that role by rookie Richard Crawford.
Johnson was signed to the practice squad on Oct. 23 and then promoted to the 53-man roster on Nov. 6 when David Jones was waived. The stint was his second with the Redskins after spending much of November 2011 with the team.

A colonoscopy is a procedure whereby an internal examination of the colon (also known as the large intestine) is performed. By inserting a colonoscope – a long, flexible viewing tube with a small camera attached to it – into the rectum, an inspection of the inside of the entire colon is possible.
A colonoscopy is also performed to
Only a colonoscopy enables the health care provider to see the entire length of the colon (four or five feet) unlike a sigmoidoscopy, which can examine only the lower third of the colon (the final two feet). In addition, if colon polyps are found during a colonoscopy, those smaller than one millimeter can be removed during the examination with the colonoscope and sent to a pathologist.
The majority of polyps removed during a colonoscopy are benign. Many are pre-cancerous, however, and their early removal ensures that the polyps do not have the opportunity to develop into colon cancer in the future.
Once a pain reliever and sedative has been administered, the patient lies on her/his left side, drawing the knees toward the chest. The first step of the procedure is often a digital rectal examination to assess the tone of the sphincter, and confirm that preparation has been adequate.
The colonoscope is inserted through the anus, and gently advanced up the rectum, through the colon, eventually reaching its destination at the ileum. The colonoscope has channels for instrumentation, air, suction, and light. The bowel is occasionally bathed with air to facilitate visibility.
A more thorough examination is performed during withdrawal of the colonoscope since better views are available during this part of the procedure than while the instrument is being inserted.
Small polyps are removed during the examination should any be discovered. In addition, tiny biopsy forceps can be inserted through the colonoscope if tissue samples are required.
The colon must be clear of stool and fluids for the colonoscopy to be accurate. Patients are normally asked to do the following during the twenty-four hours preceding the exam:
Note that if you have diabetes or take blood thinners, including aspirin or other pain relievers, your preparation for colonoscopy may be slightly different.
A colonoscopy takes an average of twenty to thirty minutes, depending on what is discovered. When performed by an experienced health care practitioner, the procedure can be painless.
Because the exam causes considerable anxiety for many people, and pain for others, some form of anesthesia or sedation is provided. A sedative together with pain medication enables people to better tolerate the procedure, and the drugs induce relaxation and drowsiness.
Discomfort can be further reduced by taking slow, deep breaths during the procedure. This can help to relax the abdominal muscles, enabling the colonoscopy to progress more easily.
A rectal examination is normally carried out prior to the colonoscopy to dilate the rectum, and ensure there is nothing obstructing the passage. It is normal to feel the urge to defecate when the rectal exam is performed or as the colonoscope is inserted.
As the scope moves inside the colon, some people report experiencing the sensation of pressure. Mild cramping and gas pains may occur; flatulence is necessary and ought to be expected.
Some recovery time is necessary after the procedure to allow the sedative wear off. Patients are normally required to have someone accompany them home after the procedure.
The body needs to rest for several hours after the procedure. It is also necessary to drink plenty of fluids afterwards in order to replace those lost as a result of preparatory fasting and laxatives.
A common aftereffect from the colonoscopy is mild abdominal cramping and considerable passing of gas caused by the administration of air into the colon during the procedure.
A gastrointestinal perforation – a tear or hole in the colon's lining – is the most serious complication that can occur from a colonoscopy. This situation is life-threatening, requiring immediate surgery. The rate of perforation, however, is low at two out of every one thousand tests.1
Persistent bleeding from biopsy or polyp-removal sites occurs in one out of every one thousand tests.2 Some complications from bleeding may be treated during the procedure via cauterization. Delayed bleeding may occur at the site of a polyp removal up to a week after the procedure, and can be treated with a repeat of the procedure.
Rarely, splenic rupture can occur because of adhesions between the colon and the spleen.
Adverse reaction to sedative medication, causing breathing problems or low blood pressure, occurs in four out of ten thousand tests.3
While very rare, infection requiring antibiotic therapy can happen.
In some cases, nausea, vomiting, bloating, and/or rectal irritation can be caused by oral medicines taken to cleanse the bowel prior to the procedure.

LEBRON STRIKES: LeBron James hits a three-pointer, draws a flimsy foul on Deng on a three-pointer and hits all three free throws and feeds Chris Bosh for a dunk as the Heat outscore the Bulls 9-1 to take a 15-10 lead with 3:45 to play in the quarter.
NOT AGAIN: Boozer gets the ball inside, but his shot is blocked by James. Boozer is 0-for-5 from the field.
WORKIN' THE REF: Bulls coach Tom Thibodeau has an animated discussion with referee Steve Javie at the end of a time out. When play ensues, Javie calls a cheap foul on Mike Miller for pushing Asik on a rebound. Taj Gibson, in for Boozer, scores on a rebound to get the Bulls to 17-15 with 1:34 to play.

Looks gorgeous! Love the colour, and I like the simple trim too. You're very talented!
I love vintage inspired lingerie, but I find that being a smaller bust I can't wear things that don't have any padding at all.

text: Super-rare Ghanaian funk from Edzayawa – one of the most unique and insistently appealing Afro Rock albums we've heard in years – with a hypnotic groove all its own! The album shares some of the same influences and instrumentation as many other groups from the time, but, there's really nothing else quite like it – a wicked blend of rhythms and sounds that's completely compelling! The percussion and the rhythms pull you right in and hold on tight – with thick layers of organ floating throughout. The vocals are great, too, mixed with some occasional flute – and overall, there's a heavy vibe, but it's not an ominous one – kind of an undercurrent of rock mixed in with the funk – although never totally tripped out. One of the most amazing albums from Soundway in a long time! Includes "Darkness", "Gondzin", "Edzayawa", "Naa Korle", "Amanehun", "Abonsan", "Obuebee" and "Adesa". © 1996-2014, Dusty Groove, Inc.

Editors' Top PicksSee All
At first glance, the Motorokr T505 seems like an average visor-mounted speakerphone. Its calls are clear, its design is unobtrusive. However, when we looked a little deeper and really explored its features, we found that there is a much more complex and flexible device hiding under the T505's simple exterior. A2DP music streaming, a built-in battery, and a built-in FM transmitter make this device much more than just a speakerphone.
Clipped to our test vehicle's sunvisor, the T505 is a handsome looking device. Smooth and devoid of any sharp angles, the T505 is made of matte-finished metallic plastic. In a world of high-gloss fingerprint magnets, the T505 looks high quality and subdued.
The bottom surface of the device is dominated by an omnidirectional speaker with a bright chrome Motorola logo set into the center. The front of the device is home to a call answer/end button, a play/pause button, and a multicolor LED that communicates the device's status. On either side of the T505 are volume up and down buttons, while the back is where you'll find the power and FM buttons as well as the USB charging port.
The T505 features a built-in rechargeable battery with up to 18 hours of talk time. We like this feature because it lets you ditch the power cord while driving, which means there's no cable dangling in your field of view. There is also an autopower feature that puts the device to sleep when unused and wakes it for a call. The long battery life coupled with the device's autopower meant that during a week of testing, we only had to charge the battery once. When the time to charge does come, the T505 gets its power over USB and comes with a micro USB car charger. So, if you want to charge the T505 outside of your car, you'll have to supply your own USB cable.
We'd like to see a caller ID display on the face of the T505. The device does speak aloud the number of the incoming call, so the lack of a display isn't too bad. However, if your phone offers a text-to-speech caller ID, you should probably use it instead, as recognizing a caller based on phone number alone can be a bit unwieldy. Calls are answered and ended with the call button, and the last number called can be redialed by holding the call button for 2 seconds.
Motorola didn't just stop at the basics for the T505. If, for example, the built-in speaker still isn't loud enough for you, you can use the FM transmitter function to route calls through your car stereo's speakers.

DENVER (AP) - The Colorado State Patrol has turned 10 people over to immigration officials after they stopped an SUV and two people ran from the vehicle.
Two troopers were hurt during the chase, but the injuries were not believed to be serious.
According to KCNC-TV, two suspects ran from the car and into a ravine. One suspect was arrested but police are still looking for the other suspect.
Investigators say a Colorado State Patrol officer noticed a speeding SUV on Interstate 70 west of Denver on Wednesday and suspected people were being smuggled.

Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization 2.2 Beta
Red Hat came out with its own virtualization product at the end of 2009 and is now driving development of its Enterprise Virtualization for Servers.
The version 2.2 beta is available exclusively for customers. The U.S. Linux provider is basing the hypervisor on KVM technology and appending its virtualization solution with a variety of tools. The 2.2 release should increase maximum memory per VM from 64 GBytes to 256 GBytes. Virtual servers and desktops can also be managed from the same management platform. Import and export of VM images and templates can also be over the industry-standard Open Virtualization Format (OVF).
The hypervisor itself is based on the Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.5 kernel, which means new hardware support. Red Hat mentions the Nehalem-EX CPU from Intel and AMD's Opteron 6000 series as examples.

Stay up-to-date with KAKE News:
KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) -- The Kansas City Royals released
right-handed pitcher Scott Elarton today.
Elarton was the Royals' opening-day starter in 2006 but never
regained his form after shoulder surgery last season.
Elarton is in the second year of a two-year, eight (m) million
dollar contract. He came off the disabled list after sitting out 26
games with a sprained right foot.
He lasted only one and two-thirds innings against the Yankees
last night, giving up seven runs and six hits.
His E-R-A this season is ten-point-46 with a 2-and-4 record.
Elarton was expected to start Sunday against Texas. Manager
Buddy Bell says right-hander Leo Nunez likely will be recalled from
Triple-A Omaha to make the start.

Yesterday at Dad's Place (Jim is writing)
We picked tomatoes from Dad's tomato garden yesterday. The recent rains and hot weather have helped their growth. The plants and the fruit are both beautiful. The tomatoes are also delicious! Here's a couple of pictures:
I mention on my blog, "Dad would be smiling". Someone corrected me to say, "Dad IS smiling".
Dad's Book
The 1st printing of the books are almost gone. I have about 5 copies left to sell. If you want one, please let me know soon. First come first serve.
We continue to work on emptying the house. We plan a sale of household items sometime in the next 6-8 weeks. We hope to get the house on the market sometime this fall. It continues to be an emotional challenge.
We loved Dad. We miss him. Life goes on. We have wonderful memories, and so much to be thankful for.

Does any body have a good hazelnut praline recipe? I found a few on the internet which initially were really good, but after a day it dried out and became crumbly which was really annoying. The recipe I found used 1/3 dark choc and 2/3 milk choc, mixed with a hazelnut and vegetable oil paste.
Dairy Milk is good.

Cost Comparison: Compare your home heating fuel to natural gas
To compare oil and propane costs to natural gas, oil and propane must be converted into therms.
To convert oil to therms – multiply cost of oil per gallon by 0.72
To convert propane to therms – multiply cost of propane per gallon by 1.092
The current cost of one therm of natural gas is $1.09 (based on a monthly bill for a typical residential 12,000 CF user).
For example, if you are paying $3.75/gallon for oil, multiply that by 0.72 to get $2.70/therm. Compare that to $1.09/therm for natural gas.

Written by Massapequa Observer Staff Thursday, 12 September 2013 00:00
Under sunny skies and cooler temperatures that signified the end of summer, more than 7,500 students from Massapequa returned to school with new backpacks, school supplies and a willingness to learn.
"We are delighted to welcome back our students and staff and look forward to a year of new growth on all measures," said Superintendent Lucille F. Iconis. "Like all districts across the state, we are beginning a year with the full K-12 implementation of the Common Core Learning Standards, new evaluations systems for our educators known as APPR, which connect students' academic growth to professional performance, and a new benchmark for achievement based on the widely publicized test scores on the more rigorous CCLS-aligned assessments. As we meet these state mandates and continue to operate under the state-imposed property tax cap, our main focus, as always, is to provide the best core instructional program for our students."
To meet the new requirements for CCLS, the district has made some changes at the middle school level that will better prepare students for academic success. The most dramatic change is the school's shift in operations to what is called a "house structure."
This new organizational structure is designed to better meet the specific needs of students by making class scheduling more flexible and increasing continuity between students, staff and the curriculum on each grade level. The house structure is phase two of a multi-tiered plan to position the middle school for more rigor by the time elementary students instructed under the Common Core Learning Standards enter seventh grade, and to position current middle schoolers for more rigor when they enter high school. The first phase was the infusion of exploratory classes that enable students to discover interests and or/talents outside of the core curriculum.
After success with the reading intervention program Read 180, the district is excited to pilot Math 180 in middle school math support classes. The CCLS-aligned program boosts confidence and conceptual understanding through a technology-infused model centered on individualized, group and classroom learning.

He's done it for the Reds many times, now it's time for @Waynerooney to do it for his country...
To watch more videos like this, go to the official Nike Football channel on YouTube.
Nike's new TV commercial suggests Ukraine could have their hands full when a focused Wayne Rooney takes part in his first Euro 2012 match for England.
The Manchester United striker was suspended for the Group D games against France (1-1) and Sweden (3-2) but he watched both fixtures from the sidelines as a passionate fan.
Now he's free to take that passion onto the pitch. As he said himself in a pre-match press conference, "I've been looking forward to it and now I'm available to play I'm excited."
Rooney also spoke about a visualisation technique he uses to get him mentally ready for a game. "I've always asked the kit men what colour kit we're wearing and what colour the opponents are wearing then visualised scoring goals or good things happening in the game. I always do it before every game to get good thoughts and good moments happening in my head to help me. I do it the night before a game when I'm in bed."

The University of Tennessee at Chattanooga softball team swept a nonconference doubleheader against Tennessee Tech on Wednesday winning 12-1 and 3-1 at Jim Frost Stadium.
The Lady Mocs (21-14) easily dispatched the Golden Eagles in the first game with a seven-run second inning and a five-run fourth to put the game out of reach and end it after five innings. Nicole Osterman and Cricket Blanco each homered in the win, and Blanco, Anyssa Robles, and Sarah Beth Roberts each had two hits.
Sophomore pitcher Katie Henderson continued her strong work in the circle of late, allowing an unearned run on two hits and a walk over five innings while striking out seven to push her record to 11-6 for the season.
The pitching was solid in the second game as well, as junior Taylor Deason pitched 6 1/3 innings while also allowing just an unearned run. She gave up seven hits, no walks and struck out six to pickup her ninth win of the season, and Henderson got the final two outs for her first save of the season.
With Deason and Henderson carrying the bulk of the load, UTC's pitching staff has lowered its ERA to 1.88 this year, and Deason has an impressive 0.93 ERA in 25 appearances.
Freshman first baseman Jesslyn Stockard's first-inning single scored Alyssa Taylor to give UTC the early lead, but Tennessee Tech (10-28) responded with a run in the top of the second.
Blanco recaptured the lead for UTC with an RBI single in the third inning, and senior outfielder Kaiti Dutton padded the lead with a run-scoring single in the sixth inning to score pinch runner Marina Wilkerson.
The Lady Mocs will return to Southern Conference play this weekend when they host Elon for a three-game series with a doubleheader Saturday at 2 p.m. followed by the series finale Sunday at 1 p.m.

New dietary guidelines help with health goals
Eating less, making informed food choices and being physically active can assist people in reducing the risk of chronic disease, maintain a healthy weight and promote overall good health.
The Dietary Guidelines for Americans 2010 illustrate these strategies through recommendations that accommodate the food preferences, cultural traditions and customs of the many diverse groups who live in the United States.
Janice Hermann, Oklahoma State University Cooperative Extension nutrition specialist, said the Dietary Guidelines recommendations traditionally have been intended for healthy Americans ages 2 years and older. However, Dietary Guidelines for Americans, 2010 is being released at a time of rising concern about the health of the American population.
The Dietary Guidelines for Americans, 2010 is intended for Americans ages 2 years and older, including those at increased risk of chronic disease.
"The intent of the Dietary Guidelines is to summarize knowledge about individual nutrients and food components into an interrelated set of recommendations for healthy eating that can be adopted by the public," Hermann said. "Taken together, the Dietary Guidelines recommendations encompass two overarching concepts to maintain calorie balance over time and to achieve and sustain a healthy weight; and focus on consuming nutrient-dense foods and beverages."
To get the full benefit, individuals should carry out the Dietary Guidelines recommendations in their entirety as part of an overall healthy eating pattern.
Hermann said it is important to balance calories to manage weight through improved eating and physical activity behaviors and to control total calorie intake to manage body weight.
"For people who are overweight, this will mean consuming fewer calories from foods and beverages," she said. "It's also important to increase physical activity and reduce time spent in sedentary behaviors; and maintain appropriate calorie balance during each stage of life--childhood, adolescence, adulthood, pregnancy and breastfeeding, and older age."
The Dietary Guidelines recommend reducing daily sodium intake to less than 2,300 milligrams and further reduce intake to 1,500 mg among persons who are 51 and older and those of any age who are African American or have hypertension, diabetes or chronic kidney disease. The 1,500 mg recommendation applies to about half of the U.S. population, including children and the majority of adults. It is also important for adults to:
--Consume less than 10 percent of calories from saturated fatty acids by replacing them with monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fatty acids.
--Consume less than 300 mg per day of dietary cholesterol.
--Keep trans fatty acid consumption as low as possible by limiting foods that contain synthetic sources of trans fats, such as partially hydrogenated oils, and by limiting other solid fats.
--Reduce the intake of calories from solid fats and added sugars.
--Limit the consumption of foods that contain refined grains, especially refined grain foods that contain solid fats, added sugars and sodium.
--If alcohol is consumed, it should be consumed in moderation--up to one drink per day for women and two drinks per day for men--and only by adults of legal drinking age.
Hermann said individuals should meet the following recommendations as part of a healthy eating pattern while staying within their calorie needs:
--Increase vegetable and fruit intake.
--Eat a variety of vegetables, especially dark-green, red and orange vegetables, as well as, beans and peas.
--Consume at least half of all grains as whole grains. Increase whole-grain intake by replacing refined grains with whole grains.
--Increase intake of fat-free or low-fat milk and milk products, such as milk, yogurt, cheese or fortified soy beverages.
--Choose a variety of protein foods, which include seafood, lean meat and poultry, eggs, beans and peas, soy products and unsalted nuts and seeds.
--Increase the amount and variety of seafood consumed by choosing seafood in place of some meat and poultry.
--Replace protein foods that are higher in solid fats with choices that are lower in solid fats and calories and/or are sources of oils.
--Use oils to replace solid fats where possible.
--Choose foods that provide more potassium, dietary fiber, calcium, and vitamin D, which are nutrients of concern in American diets. These foods include vegetables, fruits, whole grains and milk and milk products.
"It's important for individuals to build healthy eating patterns and select a pattern that meets nutrient needs over time and at an appropriate calorie level," Hermann said. "Individuals should account for all food and beverages consumed and assess how they fit within a total healthy eating pattern. Remember to also follow food safety recommendations when preparing and eating foods to reduce the risk of foodborne illness."

Reviews for Creamy Turkey Tetrazzini
Sort By :
"Wonderful, creamy, comforting casserole. None of my children noticed the mushrooms mixed in with the meat. I used whole grain pasta and it was still delicious."
"this was really good, though I made it with chicken. I also didn't add hot sauce or pimento's since I don't care for them but thought it was very tasty. I've made it a few times already."
"I made a half batch and it was great!! I added some green peppers and onion. With chicken broth and cream, how can you go wrong? Thanks for sharing."
"So simple, yet so delicious! I froze half as it made a huge batch - but I've had constant cravings for this recipe and it's a keeper!"
"This is the best tetrazzini recipe! It is a favorite for family gatherings. The only changes I make is that I use chicken and mushrooms in a jar."

Dear Offbeat Home,
My name is Cat. I have a problem.
I cannot stop buying books. I also do not take much time to read books. I have a pile of more than a dozen in-progress books.
I have to believe that if I kept my books in an easy-to-access and organized manner, I'd give them more love. Right now my bedside table is an upended suitcase — a failed attempt to turn it into a cat bed. No storage, and not pretty. To solve my problem, I've been fantasy shopping for an un-bedside table. As I see it, here are my options.
This drum is the best bedside table ever. So boho. Number one on my list. I am absolutely on the hunt for a drum!
Step ladder! Easy enough to find, and has three tiers of shelving for a lamp, books, a glass of water, my very sexy mouth guard…
The electric fireplace may not be the best idea for this pyro-phobe's bedroom. But it's damn cute.
I LOVE this one — it would be an easy bedside table to build.
This is an IKEA HELMER, but I thought it was a filing cabinet at first — which would also totally work. Filing cabinets are a dime a dozen at thrift shops. Lots of storage!
This wall-mounted "table" from Maze International tickles my desire for a-place-for-everything-and-everything-in-its-place.
Suitcase, suitcase, suitcase, mirror.
I could also ditch the table all together and go with a bedside pocket. Not great for bigger hardcovers, but good for little paperbacks.
Do you have a bedside table you love? SHARE! Or an idea for another un-bedside table I should consider? SHARE! I need to solve this problem so I can move forward with my life.

More than 300 guests gathered to celebrate the most influential people in corporate governance and the boardroom at the National Association of Corporate Directors' Directorship 100 Forum awards dinner, held this week at the Waldorf-Astoria in New York City. The national membership organization also honored the Public Company Director of the Year, Jenne K. Britell, chairman of United Rentals, and the B. Kenneth West Lifetime Achievement Award Winner, Jon F. Hanson, chairman of HealthSouth.
Hanson and Britell treated guests to unique insights into the knowledge they have gleaned over their numerous years of corporate leadership experience throughout the two-day forum, along with numerous other C-suite and boardroom experts and advisors.
Joining Hanson onstage was HealthSouth CEO Jay Grinney in a discussion on fostering relationships between executives and directors that best benefit shareholders, moderated by George Davis, Egon Zehnder's co-managing partner of the Global Board Practice George Davis. Hanson joined HealthSouth mere months before federal regulators began fraud investigations that resulted in five of the company's previous CFOs pleading guilty and the firing of CEO Richard Scrushy. Today, the company has returned to prominence, benefited by Hanson and Grinney's commitment to excellence.
"The most important thing a CEO has with a nonexecutive chair is someone who is familiar with the company, but is not a direct report that he can bounce ideas off of," explained Hanson. The two describe themselves as having a strong chemistry; Hanson noted that Grinney is not much older than his oldest son. "We've never had a disagreement, we may have had differing views, but by the time we got off the phone we were on the same page," he added.
The two have ironed out a process for communications with the full board, as well. Although Hanson is the primary contact for the board between meetings, who summarizes their ideas and concerns for Grinney, individual directors are always welcome to contact Grinney directly. "I am not the gatekeeper, nor do I want to be," emphasized Hanson.
Grinney noted that an ideal chairman needs to have leadership skills, honesty, integrity and a clear perspective: "You need a nonexecutive chair who truly does not aspire to be CEO, that's a key prerequisite."
Director of the Year Britell also faced a dicey situation as a United Rentals board member in 2007, when the Delaware Courts ruled the rental equipment operator could not force Ceberus Capital Management to complete a proposed buyout of the company. The next year, she was named chairman. Britell also led the turnaround of GE Capital Mortgage Services as its CEO from 1996 to 2000.
Britell offered a glimpse into the best practices she learned from these experiences in a panel titled "Turnaround: Dealing with Distress," one of which being the ability for challenges to unite a board. "Crisis enables faster changes," she explained. "It forces a board to come together more quickly and more deeply when the only place you can go is up."
Other panelists, including Levick Strategic Communications President Richard S. Levick and Blockbuster Director Gary Fernandes, noted that the important part of crisis planning is not to develop a plan for specific crises, but rather have a solid leadership structure that works both in good times and bad. "The board and senior management need to share critical values," Britell said. "The board has a critical role to play but the buck stops with the CEO, even if there is a nonexecutive chair or lead director. They need a consensus on values more than the plan." (For more on the D100 from the September 2011 issue of NACD Directorship, please click here.)
This year's keynote was delivered by former U.S. Army General Stanley McChrystal, who now serves on the board of JetBlue, and shared what he learned about leadership as commander of the U.S. Forces and International Security Assistance Force in Afghanistan, and how he uses that knowledge now in the boardroom. He emphasized that a close relationship with allies is necessary for success, noting that situations where many organizations tasked with similar goals created unnecessary roadblocks. "Leadership is not a talent or a gift, it's a choice," he said.
Of the 300 forum attendees, a select group were also celebrating the completion of the required educational programs to become an NACD boardroom Leadership Fellow. Prospective NACD Fellows are required to have years of significant board service, and to complete a number of programs to earn the distinction.
