Morgan ----- Original Message ----- From: Michael Smith To: steppes at ansteorra.org Cc: Lindenwood at ansteorra.org ; glaslyn at ansteorra.org Sent: Thursday, April 03, 2003 8:31 AM Subject: Steppes fighter practices in April and after Greetings unto the populace of the Barony of the Steppes and it's beautiful Cantons of Lindenwood and Glaslyn! I have important news regarding fighter practices in our fair Barony. First and foremost, starting the first weekend in May, May 6th to be exact, Sunday 2:00 p.m. fighter practice will be moved back to Mary Heads Carter park in Carrollton. While Flag Pole Hill is a nice park with larger shade trees, attendance has been extremely low and the lack of certain amenities such as handicapped accessable restrooms, water and a close playground were factors. Next, I would like to discuss two specific fighter practice Sundays in April. This coming weekend is ElfSea Spring Fair. HE Fritz has informed me that he will be unable to attend fighter practice on Sunday April 6th due to Spring Fair. I am unable to fight until sometime near the end of April. So... is anyone going to show up at FlagPole Hill to fight on Sunday? If people want to show up and fight, I'll drive down with the loaner gear and do the Marshal thing, but I don't want to drive down if nobody is going to be there. So, let me know if you're interested. Post it to the list and we'll see how many people want to fight this weekend. If nobody replies that they want to fight, I'll cancel the practice. Check this space Sunday morning for official word. The next Sunday in question is April 20th, Easter weekend. I will be unable to attend practice that day. If anyone needs the loaner gear, please contact me privately in advance and we'll work something out. Otherwise, the loaner gear will not be at FlagPole Hill on the 20th. Yours in Service, Lord Morgan Buchanan Knight Marshal Barony of the Steppes, Ansteorra

Photos and Description of this 5 bedroom holiday home in Chiswick & Hounslow - Flanders Road
5 bedroom, 3 bathroom home right next to the lawns of Turnham Green
The proposal
There's just something about Flanders Road, a combination of good looks and charm that'll send your heart soaring. Could it be the pink blossoms that twine so prettily around the iron bedstead? The infinitely soft sofas, clad all in velvet? Or perhaps it's the lovingly restored furniture and sweet artworks cheering each room.
And beyond the front door you'll find Chiswick to be almost absurdly photogenic. From the buckets of blooms that greet you at Turnham Green station to the cute independent shops that line Devonshire Road, every corner seems designed with romance in mind.
When Harry met Sally
Your hostess is a leading hair and makeup artist, while your host is an actor. This lucky pair are the embodiment of marital bliss, and they and their four young children are about to start a sub-plot in LA.
It's a wonderful life
Whether you're battling for supremacy at the table football or gathering around the piano, this is a home that brings people together. So call your loved ones to the farmhouse dining table with its sturdy church chairs and throw open the expansive French doors, allowing the scent of whatever you've cooked up in the contemporary kitchen to drift out into the garden. And while those in Seattle may be sleepless, here you'll be dreaming all night long: upstairs you'll find a sweet single bedroom leading through to a bunk-bedded twin, two doubles, and the peaceful master bedroom.

- children welcome

About Owner / Property Manager
onefinestay gives you the chance to stay in someone's place while they're out of town. You get to live their life for a few days and nights.
Booking a stay is as easy as booking a hotel room. And there's service to match.
Nobody wants to be a tourist, so our homes come with recommendations from the people who live in them. For everything else, we're here 24/7.
Why Owner / Property Manager chose Chiswick & Hounslow
To the west of Hammersmith and north of Kew, Chiswick carries its rich cultural heritage lightly.
Chiswick High Road, with its Amazonian width, seethes with fleet-footed locals moving from morning coffee to quick-fix mani at Cowshed to sourcing mid-century modern furniture at the Old Cinema.
It's not mere chance that an outpost of members' club Soho House has rooted itself here – High Road House provides a hub for creative residents who see no need to trawl the city to meet the likeminded, filling the al-fresco brasserie for productively long lunches in the sun.
Every London neighbourhood worth its salt has a secret street where independent shops and boutiques congregate, and here Devonshire Road fills that criteria perfectly: Damsel sheaths locals in Citizens of Humanity denim and Chiswick Pets kits out the pooches. Evenings are rounded off at La Trompette, a restaurant legendary for being superlative without being snobbish – a trait that permeates this whole territory.
What makes this house unique
Booking a stay is as easy as booking a hotel room, with online payment and confirmation. You get the same attention to detail and personal service too.
Every home is properly cleaned before and after you stay, beds made (we can even do hospital corners) and bathrooms kitted out with luxury toiletries. There's a maid service if you want it, as well as other hotel-style amenities.
Once we've helped you settle in, we're just a call away, 24/7. If it's something we can't solve over the phone, we'll pop over to lend a hand.
And because nobody wants to be a tourist, our homes come with personal and unique recommendations from the people who live in them – places to eat, things to do and adventures to go on.

DENTISTS have condemned a Medicare-style system for free universal dental care being considered by the Rudd Government as impractical, and massively expensive.
The Denticare plan is part of the National Health and Hospitals Reform Commission's sweeping makeover in hospital and health services, including for indigenous people, the aged and young people with mental illness.
Tell us your experiences of visiting the dentist? Are dentists too expensive? Message 0424 SMS SMH (+61 424 767 764) or email us with your stories. -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Denticare would be financed by a 0.75 per cent income levy.
In its interim report released yesterday, the commission raised three options for reshaping state and federal governments' running of the health system.
The proposals range from an improved version of the existing system, through to the development of a European-style social insurance scheme financed by the Commonwealth under which people could choose from health fund plans which would purchase services on their behalf.
The commission is to decide which scheme it would favour in its final report to the Government expected by midyear.
The Health Minister, Nicola Roxon, said the Government was happy to have a debate about the possibility of a new tax to finance Denticare, which she described as a "fairly radical proposal … but we are interested in the community's response to this".
But Dr Neil Hewson, the president of the Australian Dental Association, representing private dentists, slammed the Denticare proposal, saying it could nearly double to $11 billion the cost of dentistry to the government and individual patients.
"The recommendation … for a universal Denticare scheme is impractical, nonsensical, overly simplistic and flies in the face of much of the deliberations that have taken place on this issue over the past decade," he said.
"It shows no appreciation of the real problems facing dental delivery in Australia."
The association believed the Government should target the 35 per cent of the community who could not access or afford proper dental care and said it would be fiscally irresponsible to introduce a universal scheme for dentistry.
The commission has also proposed an indigenous health authority to upgrade care indigenous Australians get, similar to the special arrangements made for veterans.
It has also called for schemes to boost health funding for rural communities, and for the introduction of more community services to counter mental illness among young people.
The commission strongly urged the introduction of individually controlled electronic personal health records which the commission's chairwoman, Dr Christine Bennett, described as "one of the most important systemic opportunities we have".
The report said there was an urgent need to tackle inequities in health status and outcomes and lack of access to health services for many groups in Australia. For indigenous Australians it proposed an increase in funding to reflect the much greater health needs.
A National Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Health Authority would purchase services specifically for indigenous patients and focus on results to ensure high quality and timely access to services.
The chief executive of the Australian Health Insurance Association, Dr Michael Armitage, said insurers would consider the dental care proposal and other recommendations and compile a response to the reform commission.
"The industry would support any plan to improve access to dental care for Australians but it is about more than that - it's about quality, safety and achieving better health outcomes - not just health financing," he said.
The Opposition's health spokesman, Peter Dutton, said taxpayers would pay billions of dollars in extra taxes for a national Denticare scheme.
"Almost 11 million Australians or 50 per cent of the population would pay more than they currently do to meet the costs of the Denticare scheme," he said.

Would you like to limit the tag results display to a specific section?
If you do, then pick any of the sections below:
Or simply go to the aggregated tag results from:
France revises counter-terrorism strategy in Africa
Algeria has adopted legislation to try to retake control of the thousands of extremist mosques in the country, forbidding their use for illicit personal or collective goals or to "harm people or groups." Last week Algeria offered new gas and oil concessions in the southwest and the north to international bidders, but foreign investment may be hampered by the government's refusal to allow companies to provide their own armed security, despite terrorists attacks like the In Amenas siege a year ago.
Algerian authorities denied Moroccan allegations that western border guards had expelled Syrians back to Morocco; they said the Syrians had not yet entered Algerian territory. The authorities also said between 250 and 300 Syrian refugees in Tlemcen currently receive aid from Algerian charities and citizens. Last week the Foreign Ministry denied reports that Syrians had been expelled from the country.
The military killed 11 terrorists in operations in Hassi R'mel, El Oued, Bata, Ouacifs, and Lakhdaria. Over 50,000 security forces have been deployed along the borders with Libya, Mali, and Niger in eight southern provinces after reports of possible terrorist attacks on the anniversary of the al Qaeda attack on the In Amenas gas complex.
Desert gives al Qaeda refuge after Mali defeat
From Falluja to Maghreb, a new, diffuse al Qaeda
A key official said Libyan border areas are lawless, and that the terrorist group led by Mohamed Lamine Bencheneb, who was killed last year, is still active in the Libyan border town of Ghad and is suspected of planning a revenge attack. Algerian authorities recently gave their Libyan counterparts a map showing the presence of the terrorist group in the region. Statoil and British Petroleum, whose facilities were targeted by terrorists on Jan. 16, 2013, have reached an agreement with Algerian authorities to reopen the Tiguentourine gas plant once additional security measures have been implemented.
Threats Push Tunisia, Algeria to Strengthen Ties
US adds Belmokhtar's brigades to terrorist listsMokhtar Belmokhtar's al-Mulathameen Brigade is behind terror attacks in Niger, Algeria, and Mali. Its "aliases," the al-Murabitoon Brigade and al Mua'qi'oon Biddam, have also been added to the US's lists of terror groups.
The army killed two al Qaeda-linked terrorists during an ambush in Tizi Ouzou province yesterday. Military uniforms and bomb-making materials were found during the operation.
Algerian military helicopters killed Khalil Ould Addah a.k.a. Abu Bassen, a Mauritanian who served in a key position in al Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb, in an attack in Tamanrasset province. Addah was killed along with four associates as they drove in two all-terrain vehicles across the desert from Mali on their way to a meeting of top AQIM officials. A Syrian refugee was recently convicted in absentia of recruiting Algerian fighters for the Ansar al-Sham jihadist group in Syria. Several jihadist recruiting cells have been dismantled, but some Algerians have gone to Syria to fight.
Algerians voice concerns over Tunisia unrest
Five terrorists were killed in a clash with security forces near Debdeb on Nov. 12, and two terrorists from a Malian cell of Mokhtar Belmokhtar's group were arrested in Borj Baji Mokhtar on Nov. 1 on their way to northern Mali. Algeria reaffirmed its commitment to a border security plan made in March 2012 in Tripoli. The military is continuing to monitor Algeria's southern and eastern borders to prevent infiltration of al Qaeda-linked terrorists.
Algeria addresses mosque security
Authorities have said little about the recent seizure of a large quantity of Libyan weapons, including over 100 surface-to-air missiles, after an ambush on a convoy in Illizi near the Libyan border. During the operation, which reportedly involved a large number of security personnel, one vehicle managed to escape. Authorities have not given details as to the persons involved or the date of the operation.
Security forces found a massive arms cache in the southern province of Illizi near the Libyan border. Authorities suspect that militants created the cache, said to contain 100 antiaircraft missiles along with hundreds of anti-helicopter rockets, RPGs, and landmines.
Foreign Minister Lamamra said "considerable means" are being used to seal Algeria's eastern and southern borders against terrorist infiltration; over 12,000 troops have been deployed, in the biggest mobilization yet along the border. He also said Algeria is beefing up security at its diplomatic missions in unstable countries. Terrorists in an SUV recently tried to attack police headquarters in the southern city of Adrar. Military forces in Tamanrasset arrested Bousad Hammadi, a.k.a. Hanafi, a prominent member of al Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb, on Oct. 16.
Al Qaeda 'terror blueprint' for North Mali revealed
Security forces killed five al Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb fighters during a gun battle in Dellys in Boumerdes province. Officials estimate that 30 Algerians are fighting alongside the Al Nusrah Front and other jihadist groups in Syria.

When the object of study is an occupied building then reducing energy consumption while maintaining or improving human comfort, health and safety are of primary concern.

Customer Service excellent
Dianne needs a raise, she was wonderful!
Light for oil service soon came on then about the time I arrived in Utah the change oil required light came on. I received very poor gas mileage on the whole trip.
Nice lady.. no issues.
My issue was not with the manager of Tiger storage, my issue is with Uhaul. I was told upon ordering two weeks in advance, I could pick up my truck on West Stockton Blvd which is only a couple miles away from my house. However, on Friday before my move I received a call telling me to pick it up off Bradshaw and highway 50. The extra 15 miles in five o'clock traffic meant more fuel costs and added to my stress of moving, as I had to get my boys to their football practice, and then fight five o'clock traffic to try and get there before they close. Then, to top it off I get down the road and the drivers mirror is sloppy loose. I had to maneuver a 26 foot truck in horrible traffic with one hand on the mirror and the other hand on the steering wheel. I called customer service and they told me to take it to a shop from my house and put more gas out of pocket or fix it myself because road side assistance wouldn't come to my house for this. Therefore, I had to go purchase a wrench and fix it myself or risk the lives of others and myself.
To top it off, customer service said they were logging everything into the system when I was on the phone, and that when I got to the drop off location I needed to give them my gas receipts so that I would receive a refund---there were NO NOTES IN THE SYSTEM CONVENIENTLY!
I have moved 10 times in the last 12 years because of my work and this was the worst experience of my life! Chances are I will be moving again; however, I'm pretty sure I will be going with Budget next time instead!
The location I reserved for was changed to this location. I received a confirmation for a completely different time, called Uhaul, was told it was changed. But then I received a call from Diane at this location and she had completely different information. At least she called or I would have showed up and received something different than what I booked. The whole process seemed fraught with misinformation. Diane was kind enough, but kept blaming it on "Uhaul" and their confusion. This wasn't service with a smile, and she had an issue with me inspecting the vehicle before I would sign off. Maybe just a difference in personality styles, because I did appreciate that she called to confirm the order. And, the truck was clean.

Taps have a long history that dates back several centuries ago. Throughout the entire time period, they have undergone numerous transformations and are now available in varied settings. Their main domestic use is in kitchens and bathrooms. In commercial areas, they have been adopted to regulate other liquids (especially beer) and gas. However, your final choice of the new bathroom taps will depend on multiple factors, from style and finishing preferences to the more practical aspects, like durability and budgeting. Our online shop features all models, from time-tested best sellers to the latest solutions featuring stain-free finish, motion sensor manipulation and the water-saving patent. Whether you want traditional individual pillar taps or an extravagant waterfall LED light model, rest assured you'll find it listed in our product range.
Bathroom Taps shouldn't simply complement the style of your bathroom, but you should make a choice considering the level of practicability as well. As for maintenance and potential plumbing repairs, the type of mounting is the crucial factor. Wall mounted taps are aesthetically pleasing, and represent the most contemporary mounting style. Make sure you choose the top quality plumbing, as it will be integrated into the wall and therefore more difficult to reach for repairs. On the other hand, with wall mounted versions, cleaning is quick and easy. So, whether it is the hottest bathroom architectural styles that take your fancy, or you prefer a more traditionally crafted aesthetic, you can rest be assured that our collection of products of the latest 21st century designs and engineering will exceed more than your expectations.
Bathroom Taps, what you need to know?
Although chrome-plated taps are the traditional option an increasing number of customers are opting to make individual styling statements by opting for gold-plated in particular. Gold finish can look phenomenal with today's fashionable dark-coloured tiles. Read More Here, or you can further read our guide on selecting the right bathroom tap.

There are a few light showers over southern Ohio and central Indiana. As these continue to track southeast, these should stay north of our area. A stray light shower could sneak into far northern Kentucky, but the majority of us will stay dry. Otherwise, tonight a few extra clouds will build in with seasonable temperatures. Lows will be in the low to mid 50s.
Into Monday, expect another very warm day. Skies will remain mostly sunny and temperatures will reach the upper 70s and lower 80s.
The heat will build for several more days- the mid 80s are even expected by Thursday!

Seeking Spice Rubs
- c
- caphill2320 Feb 12, 2007 11:04 AM
I'm trying to zest up a diet which relies heavily on plain low fat protein by adding some spice rubs, but I'm at a loss for ideas.
I use mainly skinless boneless chicken breasts, turkey breasts and lean cuts of pork and beef and bake or broil them. I was hoping to use the spice rubs to add flavor without any fat or sugars...any ideas for good combinations?
re: MaspethMaven
I recently got the Northwoods seasoning from Penzey's (I think that is the name of it). I used it on boneless, skinless breast and cooked it in my grillpan (live in a condo, no grill). I thought it was really good
This Moroccan Spice rub from F&W magazine is really really good. (I omit the caraway, as I do not like it) This is one of our favorites! This does have a touch of brown sugar though...
Here's a good and highly versatile spice rub. I don't see why you couldn't try it on chicken or turkey, but I first developed it for pork chops.
Spice Rub for Pork, Lamb, or Beef
I find this works especially well with pork, but lamb enjoys the deepened flavor this blend provides, and beef steaks get more robust. Cumin and coriander seeds, along with cardamom pods, are available in Middle Eastern markets, but increasingly at supermarkets as well. Toasting the seeds, pods, and peppercorns is a crucial step. If you don't have a spice grinder, convert a well-cleaned coffee grinder for the purpose (buy a new coffee grinder). You may control the heat of this by raising or lowering the quantity of peppercorns.
In a dry, small, sturdy skillet, lightly toast until quite fragrant, 4-5 minutes, shaking pan, over low heat:
1 tablespoon black peppercorns (see note above)
2 tablespoons cumin seeds
2 tablespoons coriander seeds
1 tablespoon cardamom pods
1 tablespoon mustard seeds
Grind to a fairly fine powder in a spice grinder, in batches if necessary, with:
3 whole cloves
2 2-3'' crushed cinnamon sticks (to equal about 2 teaspoons)
2 teaspoons brown sugar
Blend thoroughly. Rub on rinsed-and-dried, lightly salted meat. Let rest at least 20 minutes at room temperature, and up to two hours for maximum flavor. You may not want to overwhelm the meat, however, so experiment with timing to suit yourself.
Stored in a tightly sealed glass jar, the blend will keep a good six months, but the sooner you use it, the better. This recipe makes about 10 tablespoons, so you'll be making fresh batches fairly often, if I know you.
Emerill has a couple of serviceable rubs: Essence and South-West Rub. The recipes are on the Food Network site. I make up a batch and keep it in a shaker for weekday meals of chicken breast, pork etc.
A standard rub for Southern BBQ contains brown sugar, cayenne, salt, pepper, garlic powder and onion powder. I like to add thyme and sage.
I second the Essence -- don't know what's in it but a friend made me a homemade batch for Christmas and it all got used.
Also, the brand found in SuperTarget, signature steak rub (in the meat case) is great on steaks, esp on the grill.
Get Steven Raichlen's book "Sauces, Rubs and Marinades". It's full of good recipes for all kinds of ways to spice up your meals. I got it originally for barbecue rubs and sauces but it has so much more. I made mole poblano from it, also Jamaican jerk seasoning - there are many other recipes in the book I've bookmarked because they sound so good. I really think it's a great resource. And the recipes are well written and so far everything works.
I'm definitely trying all of the recipes others are posting here!
I made a decent rub the other night for b/s chicken, then used it a couple of days later on some pork chops. I even threw a pinch into some collard greens.
1/2t Garlic powder
1/2t Onion powder
1/4t Dark chili powder (I measured this one heavy)
1/4t smoked hot paprika
2t dried thyme
1t black pepper
Really very simple, not too hot, but just enough zing and smoke to make simple chicken happy. I salt all my food independant of other flavors.
As far as pre-made blends are concerned, I like The Spice House blends because they contain very little salt so I can use them with abandon without abusing the palates of my dining companions- I particularly like ther Back of the Yards garlic pepper rub, the Billygoat seasoning rub, and the Lakeshore Drive Seasoning rub (yeah, I'm from Chicago!)
For quick and easy, I love Montreal Steak seasoning- though usually salty, the blend of spices is jsut right for any meat I throw at it. McCormick makes a surprisingly good version- especially the one in the mini-grinder bottles.

Another recipe from Michael Natkin's "Herbivoracious". Nice switch from gazpacho, makes a light, easy summer dinner with a salad and some bread, although it will only give you 2 to 3 servings if you're making it a meal. The time-consuming part of this recipe is making the Tomato Confit, it needs to be made in advance. I found I needed to add more milk to get it to the consistency I wanted, but it's very flexible. The addition of some milk does cut the tartness of the buttermilk, though. Make it vegan by using a combination of part vegan sour cream and part alternative milk (rice, hemp, soy, etc.). Natkin suggests adding a little lemon zest to it; I think a small piece of chipotle in adobo would be wonderful, or maybe a garnish of cooked shellfish or diced avocado or roasted sweet corn.

COLBERT, Okla. -- Some residents in Colbert are upset with the city for not taking care of dead animals, and we warn you the video posted with this story is graphic and disturbing.
A dog was hit by a car in front of Donna Foster's home on Thursday morning, and even after a number of calls, she says the city didn't do anything about it.
So on Friday morning, Foster brought the animal to Colbert City Hall and threatened to leave it on the buildings front steps.
Police were on hand and helped her take care of the problem, but she says the city should take care of the issue.
"I'm hoping they find a reasonable way of disposing of these animals when they get hit in the city and that that animal doesn't have to lay there and be disrespected," Foster said.
City officials say they are working on the problem.

Sanders pushes Saturday mailFebruary 14,2013
Vt. senators push
for Saturday mail
Staff Report
Sen. Bernard Sanders, I-Vt., and Sen. Patrick Leahy, D-Vt., were part of a group of U.S. senators to introduce a bill Wednesday to preserve Saturday mail delivery.
The measure may provide the Postal Service with new options to make money by permitting services such as notarizing documents, issuing hunting and fishing licenses, and allowing beer and wine shipments, Sanders said.
The legislation, which was simultaneously introduced in the U.S. House by Rep. Peter DeFazio, D-Ore., would also prevent mail-sorting centers and rural post offices from shutting down.
A commission of successful small business and labor representatives would be created to recommend other directions the U.S. Postal Service could pursue to remain relevant in an age of electronic mail.
Sanders said the Senate bill also seeks to repeal a 2006 law that mandated the post office pre-fund 75 years of future health care benefits for retirees over 10 years.MORE IN This Just InBARRE The mid-November deadline has passed and the resumes are all in, but the number of...

It seems there's a bug going around the celebrity circuit. First Jonathan Ross is hit by a bout of swine flu, and now Simon Cowell is ill, too.
The music mogul was forced to pull out of Britain's Got Talent auditions this week, after falling ill with a bad bout of flu.
All is not lost for the show, however, after Louis Walsh stepped in to save the day.
X Factor judge Louis is joining Amanda Holden and Piers Morgan at the Birmingham auditions on Wednesday, while Simon rests up at home.
"He just needs some rest and he'll be as good as new," a source tells the Daily Mail.
"He has been under the weather for the past week and it was clear that he could not join the judges today."

I have found the cure for P0328 error code. There is no need to take the manifold off and pay up to 500 usd for fixing this. This is what you do:-
1. Turn engine off.
2. Disconnect positive battery terminal.
3. Unbolt engine GROUND BOLT and clean with a metal brush. I also cleaned the hole where the bolt goes with my 270 rifle cleaning brush.
4. Tighten engine ground bolt.
5. Connect the positive battery terminal.
6. Eliminate the error code with a scanner of your choice.
Engine ground is a good thought but the knock sensor is a resistor which changes ohms when it detects pings from the engine. Once it recognizes engine ping it retards the engine timing. Most knock sensor seems to deteriorate in a few years and requires replacement. I think a good solution is to replace it with a 560, 000 ohm resistor and hope that you don't ever have any serious pinging.

1 dead in crash involving Disney bus near Epcot
A 63-year-old woman has died in a crash involving a Disney's Magical Express bus and another vehicle near Epcot on Friday afternoon, according to Florida Highway Patrol.
FHP said the car was in the process of slowing down in the left lane when it was struck from the back by the Disney's Magical Express bus. The victim, who was from Miami, was alone in car. The crash occurred at Epcot Center Drive and Overpass Road in Orlando just after 3:30 p.m.
At least two people from the bus were taken to Celebration Hospital. One of the victims was a teenager who may have suffered some whiplash and a baby who was brought to the hospital as a precaution.
Video from Local 6 news helicopter Sky 6 showed authorities investigating the scene with the Disney's Magical Express bus with no visible damage and the back of another vehicle crushed.
One woman on the bus said the bus had just picked up passengers from Orlando International Airport and was bringing them to Walt Disney World hotels to begin their vacation. The woman said her son is traumatized after the accident because they were forced to stay on the bus for two hours as FHP investigated the crash.
Epcot Center Drive was shut down in the area for hours during the investigation.
Disney's Magical Express is operated by Mears Transportation. The driver is being interviewed by FHP.
"Our deepest sympathies go out to the family of the individual who tragically lost their life in this accident," said Roger Chapin, a spokesman for Mears Transportation Group. "We are cooperating fully with FHP."
No other information on the crash was immediately available.

Capella Antiqua, artists in residence of the Cathedral of the Blessed Sacrament, invite you to a concert of Marian music entitled The Rose of Virtue, in honor of the Feast of the Assumption Mary. As an ancient feast celebrated in both the West and East, it is one of the oldest devoted to Mary.

Among the countries of origin are Mexico, England, Italy, Germany, and Belgium. Composers include both the well known, including Dunstable, Schubert, and Josquin, and the more obscure, names like Lignville, Lemmens, and Capillas.

This concert will be presented in the Cathedral Chapel. We encourage you to purchase tickets ahead of time, as seating will be limited.

Hemingway had the right idea. Key West is paradise in the state of Florida. As long as you avoid the tourist madness of lower Duval Street, the place is pure Caribbean-style bliss. A four-hour drive in the middle of the ocean is a small price to pay for the regenerative powers of a weekend with no worries, mon. Find a little gingerbread inn on a lushly shrouded side street. Rent a bike (they're available on every corner) and bump down the cobblestones to the beach, or the bar (we like the Blue Parrot or Hog's Breath Saloon), or the drag show at Diva's. Even the testosterone-fueled frat party at Sloppy Joe's doesn't annoy us. Still, we'd probably avoid the Hemingway Hammer, the hot-pink frozen goo that is Joe's special. Key West is best experienced faceup in the sunshine, not facedown in the porcelain.

Cooking beef stew and it tastes awful! Help me fix this.
I got a beef stew recipe from Cooks Illustrated and rather than follow the steps in order, I decided to just throw all of the ingredients into a crockpot and see what happens. The ingredients are:
3 pounds chuck-eye roast , cut into 1 1/2-inch cubes
1 1/2 teaspoons table salt
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
2 medium onions , chopped coarse (about 2 cups)
3 medium cloves garlic , minced
3 tablespoons unbleached all-purpose flour
1 cup red wine (preferably full-bodied)
2 cups low-sodium chicken broth
2 bay leaves
1 teaspoon dried thyme
6 small boiling potatoes , peeled and halved
4 large carrots , peeled and sliced 1/4-inch thick
1 cup frozen peas (6 ounces), thawed
1/4 cup minced fresh parsley leaves
It's only been in the crockpot for about 3 hours on high (I started it late) but just took a taste and it tastes like a thin watery nothing of a stew. I have about three more hours before I have to serve it to finicky kids and wondering if I should do anything else to it at this point. Maybe take the top off and let it reduce and thicken? Or will continuing the slow cook sort it all out on its own?
re: charlesbois
I agree - and you might have to add a little more at the end. ....also, maybe a dash or 2 of Worcestershire at the last 15 or so minutes. Either a flour or cornstarch slurry whisked then added will thicken the gravy.
With the top of the crockpot on or off? I assume taking the top off will enhance the flavor while it thickens?
There are a few ingredients in this recipe that come into question. First - using broth of any kind in a stew, as opposed to stock, seems a bit odd. Then comes the question as to why chicken stock and not beef stock. Next, the peas. Peas are a starchy ingredient and add sweetness to the recipe. I would never use them in a beef stew. Next, the onions. What variety of onions were used. Were they sliced, chopped or minced before going into the pot? Cut onions into small pieces to lessen the sharpness of their flavor in your stew,. Chopped small, onions produce a sweeter, almost imperceptible influence in your stew. Leaving the pieces larger will allow more of the onion's sharpness to be revealed in the finished product. The choice of onions, white, yellow, Vidalia, Maui, Walla Walla, etc. Based upon the seasonal availability of certain varieties, my guess is you probably found Bermuda onions most plentiful. Given the world market we share today, that may not be the case so I won't go into the specifics of Bermuda onions.
Now, how to save it. If it isn't already too late, try disolving a couple of teaspoons of beef bullion to the pot. Just remember to take into account the amount of salt in your bullion (or whatever similar product you happen to use) so you don't end up with a "too salty" stew.
The other suggestions you've seen here are good ones so I'd suggest you try those ideas at the same time.
re: todao
Thanks. Although the recipe called for broth, I did use stock as that was all I had. I thought it was strange to use chicken stock as well rather than beef but that's what the recipe called for. The Bittman book also says you can use either so can't be too bad an idea.
As for onions, I used yellow onions. Unfortunately don't have Worcestershire or beef bullion although I do have beef Oxo cubes (I'm in the UK). Might give that a shot but wondering if it will conflict with the other flavors.
This is the recipe I usually make and when I make in the oven I find that after the first hour it is nothing but horrible winey sludge but after the next hour its all thickened up and delicious. So on the one hand I think if you can stick it out it will be fine. I do wonder: did you brown the onions, beef and flour? If not you might be losing out on a lot of some flavour. Did you throw the peas in already? They'll be pretty grey after 6 hours in the pot. I also find with my slow cooker that onions take on an unpleasant taste so I don't usually use it for things that rely so heavily on onions for flavour, but I often have (over-) heated arguments with the thing so maybe its just baaaad.
Todao: the recipe is ofcourse hopelessly retentive a la most of Cook's Illustrated recipes and of course they have weird rationales for all their choices. You can probably find them on their website, but I seem to remember part of the reason for the chicken broth is that is actually contains higher proportion of protein ingredients than beef broth and therefore has more flavour rather than just the salt & co of beef broth. All I know is it tastes quite different and the end product tastes different too. I'm sure homemade stock would be best but.... The peas are supposed to go in at the last 5 minutes to add a bit of bright green not for flavour. I think the reason this recipe hangs around our kitchen is because the cooking times work well and the end product has the right balance of ingredients (meat to veg) and the right texture. What I have yet to figure out is how to fiddle the proportions for the slow cooker.
Btw the pork and prune variation is very popular (even among people who think prunes are gross)..
re: waver
Hi Waver,
No, I unfortunately did not brown the beef or onions. I was on the fence about that but in a rush and wanted to get the whole thing going. Next time. I'm also leaving out the peas. My kids are not big fans of those.
It has thickened up and I also added an Oxo cube so not too bad. Potatoes haven't softened enough though. Time to buy a dutch oven I think!
In the future BROWN the meat. That's where the deep meaty flavor comes from.
crockpots are great - but I find that they don't get hot enough to reduce the juices of stew like dishes to the point where i want them and the flavor deepens - sometimes I take the meats and veggies out - pour the juices into a pot or pan and reduce them on the stove over a higher heat - this won't solve a bad flavor problem, but it will help with lack of flavor - also try sauteing some tomato paste and adding to the stew.
I'd keep cooking it until the meat is falling apart tender. If you do want to reduce, don't do it in the crockpot with the lid off because that won't be enough heat. I'd do it on the stove, lid off. You can also add a slurry of cornstarch and water to thicken it or add some flour and butter kneaded together (a beurre manie--sorry can't find the accent for the e).
I wouldn't give up on the crockpot because it does this type of braising fine, and you can leave it and come home to a hot meal. But, it's not easier than using a dutch oven. You still need to brown the meat (first dredged in flour), sautee the vegetables, deglaze, etc., not just throw everything in.
Definitely brown the meat next time. This not only helps on eye appeal, but from a culinary perspective, brings the meat's natural sugars to the surface which equal flavor.
In addition, store purchased meats have additional moisture (*added*). Doing a sear extracts some of that. It could be that the moisture has diluted your broth.
As to the chicken stock, when prepared beef stock is reduced, it can become strong, having an odd, overpowering flavor. Chicken stock is much milder but still has some collagen which is a natural thickener.
since you did not brown the meat, I think the best you can do is add some canned tomatoes and more broth and vegetables and call it vegetable soup.

@ACCWBB: Notre Dame's Loyd Named ACC Player of the Week
Monday February 24, 2014
Virginia Tech's Panousis earns Rookie of the Week honors
GREENSBORO, N.C. – Notre Dame sophomore guard Jewell Loyd has been named the Atlantic Coast Conference Women's Basketball Player of the Week, while Virginia Tech freshman guard Vanessa Panousis has been tabbed the ACC Rookie of the Week, as announced Monday afternoon by the conference office and voted on by the Blue Ribbon Panel.
Loyd, who was also named ESPNW's National Player of the Week, averaged 25.7 points and 7.7 rebounds per game with a .509 field goal percentage (.444 from 3-point range) as Notre Dame won three ACC games to clinch the ACC regular-season title and secure the No. 1 seed in the upcoming ACC Women's Basketball Tournament.
Loyd scored at least 20 points in all three outings and posted her third double-double of the season on Thursday at Wake Forest with game highs of 29 points and 10 rebounds, which included a career-best 10-of-12 effort form the free throw line. Loyd began the week with 27 points and nine rebounds against Georgia Tech and capped the week with a 21-point afternoon against No. 7 Duke to help Notre Dame earn its seventh win over a ranked opponent in as many tries this season.
Panousis averaged 22.5 points per game, while leading the Hokies to back-to-back victories, including a road win at No. 11/8 North Carolina on Sunday. She tallied 21 points in a 69-62 victory over Pittsburgh and followed that up with 24 points as the Hokies upset the Tar Heels, 50-47. Panousis was clutch for the Hokies in two close games, going 10-of-10 from the line (6-of-6 vs. Pitt and 4-of-4 vs. UNC) in the final two minutes of each game to help Virginia Tech clinch the wins. In addition, Panousis set the new Virginia Tech freshman record for assists in a single season, tallying her 110th this week, breaking the previous record of 106 set in 2002-03.
ACC women's basketball play continues Thursday, with seven games on the docket.
