MIAMI (AP) - A federal judge struck down a Florida law that restricted doctors from talking about gun ownership with their patients.
The Miami Herald (http://hrld.us/N6h1lu ) reports U.S. District Judge Marcia Cooke on Friday ruled in favor of physicians who argued the law violated their free speech rights. Cooke had issued a preliminary order blocking the law in September.
In a 25-page ruling Cooke wrote evidence shows physicians had started "self-censoring" because of the legislation's "chilling" effect.
Florida's Republican-controlled Legislature adopted the Firearm Owners' Privacy Act in 2011 after an Ocala couple complained that a doctor had asked them about guns. The couple says they refused to answer and the physician refused to see them again.
Rep. Jason Brodeur, a Republican from Sanford who sponsored the bill, says an appeal is likely.

i heard brehemoth can go to 160 PSI or something crazy like that.. ( don`t quote me just trying to remember ) and yes it does look way better and also has the optional site glass for the top lid.. trip clamps are pretty cheap.. and in the long run i think brewhemoth would be my choice caise i do have to look at it everyday lol.. and stouts is kinda ugly..
I have a stout 14.5 gallon short fermenter, and am very happy with it, and with my experience with John watt. The welds are the nicest I have seen, and the polished finish inside cleans up so easily it is sinful. Being able to pop the whole lid off is a real bonus, in my mind, so you can see all the way inside. The long build time is a drag, but he has some stuff available for "special order in stock"
We have two Stout conicals and love them. You can carry the bucket and fill the conical. It would help with aeration when you pour it in.
But there so ugly lol.. I'm superficial yes but hmmm tuff choices and it does come with butterfly valves also
Yah I saw the welds on the brehmeth and even the penrose kettle and it doesn't look as near nice as the stout or others I've seen. That was also another concern.. Right now after further looking and research I might go with stout butterfly valve 27 gallon
so you going with stout ?

Your church isn't growing, and you can't figure out why. That's always a tough place to lead and live.
You aren't alone. In fact, you may be among the majority of churches in the U.S. that are struggling to grow. For some, on the surface, all seems well. Of course, there are a few problems here and there—that's true in every church—but overall things seem good.
So, what is it? How do you decode the cipher that unlocks the answer? Or perhaps the issues are more obvious and even problematic, but the solutions still evade you.
Pastor, you've got a sleeping giant in your church. If you awake that sleeping giant, it'll change your church, your community and the world.
This sleeping giant in your church is your unengaged lay people.
If 10 percent of your church does most of the work, you have nine entire churches your size sitting on the sidelines each week. Fully engaged, the ministry potential of your church is mind-boggling!
In the last week alone, 57 people have died in four violent events as reported by major news outlets.
Every week, people in your church lose a job or a loved one or have a health incident. Every month, families are torn apart by anger, misunderstandings and rebellion (not just teens; adults rebel too).
The pain from all this is hard to keep in perspective without tuning out. There comes a point when we are tempted to hand out pamphlets instead of dealing with more stress:
After following the news in the wake of last week's terror attack at the Boston Marathon, it is obvious and understandable that emotions in our nation run the gamut.
We are saddened by the physical and emotional pain that our friends and fellow Americans face as a result of those killed and injured. Our prayers for healing and comfort go out to the victims and their families during this time.
We are angry that someone had the audacity to commit this heinous crime on a day (Patriot's Day) that was about everything that is right with our nation (courage, honor, freedom) on our own soil—our home.
I was at the C3 Church's Sunday service Sunday night at Oxford Falls, a suburb of Sydney, when Australian talk show host Jamie Malcolm exhorted the congregation. Jamie's words were so unforgettable, I wanted to make sure I recorded them here so I could remember and share them with you.
Jamie spoke about generosity and giving, but he did it in a way I've never heard before. He spoke of how to get started in giving. His point was simple: All too often, we think in terms of larger amounts rather than just starting out and doing something no matter how small.
I recently posted 10 dangerous paradigms in the church. Obviously, there are positive mind-sets in the church also. I've decided to share some from the perception of a pastor.
Here are 10 positive paradigms in the church.
1. "We can do it, Pastor." The "can do" attitude. Who can't work with that?
2. "Jesus will make a way." So, if that's your paradigm, then all we have to do is follow Him ... right?

Chicken Inspriation?
- Candy Oct 26, 2006 06:46 PM
I have 3 boring boneless, skinless chicken breasts that I need to cook tonight. When I bought them I was thinking about chicken parm but now that does not appeal. Any favorites out there for these things. I rarely buy them because they are so uninteresting and flavorless.
re: King of Northern Blvd
Piccatta is my favorite use for boneless skinless breasts. This recipe is a good starting point, though I typically would also add about 1/4 cup of white wine and a few very thinly sliced lemons to the sauce, and only a bare sprinkle of parley (or even none at all).
Use the Jacques Pepin method for supremes of chicken with herbes de provence -- always a real hit.
Basically, pound out the breasts a bit (you're not going for scallopini here, just a little flatter than in the package) and liberally season both sides with salt, pepper and HdP. Heat a couple tablespoons of butter in a large non-stick skillet and when the foam subsides, cook the chicken breasts for 3 mins per side. Cover the pan and remove from the heat. Let sit for 10 - 12 mins. Remove chicken and deglaze the pan with the juice of one lime. Pour over chicken.
This is the best method ever for boring old chicken breasts, and they always come out perfectly cooked, moist and juicy.
re: yumyum
I tried it just as you said, and it was great! Jacques Pepin c'est l'homme! Thanks! (I love the whole idea of taking food off the heat and letting it finish. Works great.)
re: yumyum
Yeah, this sounds great. I love Herbs de Provence. I'll try it this weekend. You can slice the breasts and serve over a bed of greens as well. The blend is quite versatile.
Try it with beer can chicken, roast pork or chicken...really delicious!
Oh yeah, Chicken & cheese enchilad's with as splash of chipotle sauce.
I like to use chicken breasts in various braised/simmered dishes..
I like to sauté them in a pan with a little olive oil and then garlic and a bit of diced or dried onion.
Reduce the heat to low and add enough red wine to cover and tomato paste, capers(if you like them), sliced crimini(?) mushrooms, and herbs (rosemary,parsley thyme and oregano), salt and pepper to taste.
Cover with a lid and let simmer for 45 minutes.
Serve with oven roasted potatoes or a linguine pasta, salad and bread.
Chicken corn chili spices them up some.
Or, I'll pound them flat, bread them and pan fry them. There are so many options with that--marsala, lemon caper, etc. Funny, I was just thinking the same thing about making something different w/ skinless, boneless chicken breasts. They're just not that tasty.
I recently posted this recipe for Greek-Style Chicken breasts in case you'd like it:
This is a recent thread on this.
How about something from the National Chicken Cooking Contest?
Under the recent Casserole post, I posted my Cream Apple Chicken. It's different and "fall-ish".
Inevitably, I grill boneless, skinless breasts--it is the one method that is quick enough to prevent drying out. Rub w/oil & sprinkle with Cavender's greek seasoning, grill on med high heat (gas). Good sliced over a romaine salad w/feta, olives, cucumbers, and tomatoes (simple dressing of olive oil, garlic, & lemon juice) or stuffed into a pita with a smear of tahini and a side of hummus.
It is a raw rainy day so it is going to be creamy chicken enchiladas with a red Hatch chili sauce. The creamy filling has the shredded chicken that I poached a few minutes ago and will have some onions and green chilis in it and cheese. Roll up and top with the red sauce and bake until bubbly and delicious.
I will try some of the other suggestions on a nicer day. You can always use more chicken recipes!
Wrap them in bacon, maybe a few dashes of lea & perrin's, soy sauce, or fresh herbs, stick them in the oven and call it a day...yumyum
I also wrap them in bacon then latter add in some mushrooms, cream , and just a touch of sour cream and eat them over noodles...yummy!
WE had boneless chicken breast last night, I cooked them on my cast iron grill seasoned with Montreal Poultry Seasoning, slice them and then stuffed lettuce and tomatoes with the chicken, and ranch dressing into a pita pocket. Simple and very good.
Other ways; I'll make boneless fried chicken with cream gravy,
and the favorite around the family is chicken picatta with angel hair pasta.
Enchiladas sound wonderful, I'll be making them in a large quanity to be served as one of the entrees for our Holiday party Saturday.

The three-story, shingle-style Princess Anne Hotel first opened its doors in 1924 during the economic boom period for Asheville. Built by registered nurse Anne O'Connell and financed by Doctor Karl Von Ruck, the Hotel promised "Comfort First." Listed on the US Department of the Interior's National Register of Historic Places, the Princess Anne Hotel continues to deliver an exceptional experience to guests.
At the time, Asheville was known nationally for having the best in tuberculosis treatment and was home to Dr. Von Ruck, a world-renowned tuberculosis specialist. Doctors from around the country, including Von Ruck, recommended the Western North Carolina Mountains for its fresh air healing power. The Princess Anne provided a respite for the families of tuberculosis patients being treated at O'Connell's nearby sanatorium located on Baird Street and, as a result, found success early in its history. O'Connell was dubbed "Princess" by her patients due to her flowing red hair, pretty face, and charismatic nature, and so the hotel was named "Princess Anne." She ran the Hotel for several years before selling it in 1929.
Succession of Ownership
The Princess Anne remained a hotel for a number of years after the sale, being bought and sold several times. This was common for at the time as the Great Depression had stretched its fingers over the city of Asheville and caused rough times for everyone. In fact, during the 1930s Asheville retained the highest per-capita debt of any city in the country ($54 million). The Princess Anne stayed in business, though, and found a diverse collection of owners. One interesting owner of note was the father of Johnny Mercer (writer of the classic melody "Moon River").
In addition to hotel owners, the Princess Anne changed those whom it accommodated as well. In 1945, the Hotel briefly became an annex of The Appalachian Hall Psychiatric Hospital, and in 1947 became a hotel again. From 1957 until 1995, the Hotel functioned as a boarding house specializing in retirement accommodations promising "Gracious Living for Senior Citizens." During that time, it was home to voter educator and women's equality activist Florence Ryan. Sold again in 1995, the hotel passed into the hands of the Maharishi Ayurveda University of North Carolina whose founders were once the spiritual leaders of the Beatles .
The current owner, award-winning preservationist Howard Stafford, bought The Princess Anne Hotel in 2003 and spent two-years renovating and returning her to her former glory. For outstanding contribution to historic preservation, the Hotel was awarded the 2006 Griffin Award by the Preservation Society. Now a 16 suite, residential-style hotel, The Princess Anne Hotel promises "original ambiance and charm with modern amenities to help create a memorable stay," and is, and always will be, uniquely Asheville.

- Studio: Focus Features
- Release Date: Jun 5, 2009
- Starring: Allison Janney, John Krasinski, Maya Rudolph
- Summary: Longtime (and now thirtysomething) couple Burt and Verona are going to have a baby. The pregnancy progresses smoothly, but six months in, the pair is put off and put out by the cavalierly delivered news from Burt's parents Jerry and Gloria that the eccentric elder Farlanders are moving out of Colorado – thereby eliminating the expectant couple's main reason for living there. So, where, and among whom of those closest to them, might Burt and Verona best put down roots to raise their impending bundle of joy? The couple embarks on an ambitious itinerary to visit friends and family, and to evaluate cities. (Focus Features)… Expand

Score distribution:
Positive: 19 out of 33
Mixed: 11 out of 33
Negative: 3 out of 33
Like "Juno" or "Little Miss Sunshine," Away We Go is a small film, the kind of gem that's easy to crush with hype or overpraise. But, the fact is that few movies deal with feelings this profound with as much restraint as Mendes and his crew display here.
Though Away We Go lacks the screwball unpredictability of something like "Flirting With Disaster," it compensates with a unexpected depth of feeling, a novelist's (or memoirist's) sense of detail, and a panoramic view of what home means.
Some episodes are funnier than others, but they're all underscored by a pervasive melancholy.
Though it's nice to see Mendes take a looser, not quite so studied approach to his filmmaking, some stops along the way -- like a detour to visit Burt's suddenly single brother (Paul Schneider) -- feel dramatically off-course.
See it for the performances – they are delights from the leads on down to the characters in the episodic vignettes. But the film's vision of Gen-Y nesting is liable to leave you up a tree.
It's in these vignettes that Away We Go begins to feel less like an authentic exploration of identity than a condemnation of the very community the couple pretends to crave. No one, it turns out, is good enough for Burt and Verona.

My first Le Creuset finally...need your help!
- c
- Carb Lover Jun 21, 2005 01:15 PM
There comes a time in every cook's life when he/she acquires a new kitchen tool or gadget, something that has the potential to change his/her cooking forever. For instance, one distinction I make in my cooking life is before-Wusthof vs. after-Wusthof. More recently, before-Zuni cookbook vs. after-Zuni cookbook.
After my 10 years of serious cooking and only getting fiercer w/ these boards, my darling husband suggested that we get me (us) a Le Creuset French oven, something I've been coveting for a long time, for our upcoming anniversary. Yeah, not a surprise, but the surprise French mandoline one year wasn't a big hit. :-)
So this will be my first (and only) Le Creuset item. I'm anti-clutter, so I only want ONE item that will prove to be the most versatile and functional. I know that I want a round French oven, not the oval. I know I want the bright flame color (pic below). My major dilemma is around the size: should I get the 5.5 or 7.25 qt.?? Am leaning towards the 7.25 since I've read that's the most popular size and erring on the bigger side seems smart (a chowhound tenet); however, I'm worried it will be really bulky, heavy, and cumbersome (I'm petite and a weakling) and that I won't really need the extra volume in the end.
It's just the two of us, but I generally make at least 4 servings of things and we do entertain regularly. Imagine myself using it more in the fall/winter for braises, roasts, cassoulet and such. Which size would you recommend if you could just get one? Pros? Cons?
So far we've found the best deal at Cutlery and More (see link). Around $140 for the 5.5 qt. and $170 for 7.25 qt. w/ a bonus grill pan; no tax and free shipping. Caplan Duval is about the same but charges for shipping, and we missed their big overstock sale earlier this year. Any major redflags or horror stories w/ C&M? Anyone know of a better online deal? Thanks for aiding in my culinary milestone...
PS. If you want to talk me out of it for reasons based on your experience or have a different brand rec, I'm open to that too.
Link: http://www.cutleryandmore.com/lecreus...
Well, I solved my dilemma by getting both sizes. :-)
BUT, having said that, it really depends on what you cook for more - just the two of you, or entertaining.
I use my 7.5 quart every time I entertain, which is somewhat to fairly often. I use my 5.5 quart very often when cooking for just my husband and myself, though I actually use the 3.75 qt most of all for just the two of us.
So, choose between entertaining or cooking for the two of you, that's my advice. I will say that the 7.5 qt is *indispensable* when cooking big things or braises, whereas I could probably use other pots for when I use the smaller sizes.
I love my Le Creuset pots. They are possibly my most treasured possessions.
You'll be very happy with the Le Crueset. I use mine for soups, roasts, etc. I don't know the sizes, cause I swiped them from my mother who can't lift them anymore. I use the 5.5? quart one most often (it's about 10 inches across). The larger one is incredibly heavy to me, and I rarely lug it out of the garage. I have a saucepan and a 3 qt? one too, but it's that middle sized one (5.5) I use the most and has a space in the kitchen. :-) I've read here about Staub brand, and we also have 2 Copco's picked up at an estate sale. For some reason, all we make in that is rice.
Amazon has some Le Cruesets that come with free gifts and $25 off a $125 order thru June.
When your ready for your next life changing experience, buy the Staub 5 qt Dutch Oven. We just upgraded all of our Le Creuset to Staub and it has made a huge difference. The bottoms are more textured and the pots get hotter both of which produce better browning. The lid has little domes which increase the surface area and traps more steam keeping the food juicier.
re: JudiAU
Thanks for your and others' responses thus far. Ok, truth be told, I'm waffling a bit on the oval vs. round. Major pro of the oval is that I can get a 6.5 qt. which seems like the perfect medium btwn. the two round sizes I'm struggling to choose from. I also like that I can braise or roast something that's oblong in shape like pork loin.
My main concern: heat distribution and balance on the cooktop. I have a gas stove, but I'm worried that the oval shape will make for uneven heating or be more unstable. Are my fears unfounded? Any advice on oval vs. round is much appreciated!
Link: http://www.cutleryandmore.com/details...
re: Carb Lover
I've not had any problems on my gas coook top with my oval.
re: Carb Lover
Check out Caplan-duval (www.caplanduval.com). They have the best prices I've seen on Le Creuset. I ordered my 5 qt. oval oven from them, and although I am for the most part pleased, I sometimes wish I'd gone for a slightly larger size. So my advice is to go for the 6.5 qt. oval oven. Oval is nice, and it heats completely evenly on my gas stove.
re: Carb Lover
I don't think heat distribution would be a problem. However, after I've browned the meat on the stove I almost always transfer the pot to the oven to braise.

I actually have the 7.5 quart in oval and round. First I had oval, but I noticed when doing the browning stage that it wasn't evenly browning on the narrow ends. So I got a round one. I think the oval is good for oblong things, but I find the round one more all-purpose.
re: Celeste
I agree. I have about a 7qt oval and there isn't as much brown stuff stuck to the narrow ends of the pot after browning. I get around it by browning most of the meat in the middle. This really isn't a big problem though. It has never affected any of my dishes dramatically.
I have a 3.5 qt. oval for our 2 adult household. This size works great for our everyday needs but when cooking for 4+ people, it's too small and the 5 or 6.5 qt would work better. I understand your concerns about its heft and asked myself the same questions. I'm anti-clutter too. In the end I went with the smaller one because I wanted to make it a highly used & functional piece of cookware. But when I'm cramming a heap of oxtails or shortribs in there for company, I do long for a larger size.
The oval shape is nice because it can accomodate long, whole meat (roasts, chickens) more tightly.
You're right, this is one of those pivotal kitchen purchases-I think you're going to love where it takes your cooking!
I have the larger one that I love.
The only negative I have heard from friends is that it can be very heavy for some people to get in and out of the oven but I have never had that issue.
I have lots of Le Creuset. I used to be able to get it at cost+shipping in a kitchen shop I worked in briefly. I stocked up at their LC's annual sale. Like you there are 2 of us and I am anti-leftovers. We do entertin a lot and are also in a dinng club. I have a 5qt. round I use quite a bit and a 1.5 qt. I use for rice (got that at a church rumage sale years and yers ago...boy was I excited even back then to get it for about $3.50. I also have 2 #3's. I use them a bit too. I have a #29 oval which is about a 5 qt. It will take a smaller chicken for roasting. But for really large amounts like our annual mussel feast in December and for large braises I have the 8qt. Calphalon deep saute pan with loop handles. It heats evenly for browning and fits in my oven and best of all I can pick it up when it is full. I had entertained getting a really large LC but after trying to lift it empty I decided against it. It was heavy enough.
re: Candy
About the Calphalon....I have a flattened dome lidded pan - saute/casserole? that is just great but, as with all Calphalons nothing acidy can be left in it for long. No spaghetti sauce, etc. That's a drawback. LCreus. can hold leftovers in the fridge til whenever without interreaction.
Or maybe I just have an older-style Calphalon and newer ones aren't made of alum/reacto/stuff.
re: oakjoan
I would never store a pan in the fridge with food in it. Occasionally in winter when it is too cold to use my screened porch I may put something out there in a pot but that is highly unusual. I have had most of my Calphalon for over 15 years and have never had problems with acid foods, but again I would never store food in them. Le Creuset out on the porch but Calphalon never.

I have both and I regularly use the 5.5 and rarely use the 7.25. From years of watching cooking shows on tv I think most of us home cooks use pots and pans that are larger than what we really need.
The best use I've found for the 7.25 is for stocks and osso buco. The 5.5 gets much more use for curries, pasta sauces, pasta, etouffes, etc.
I don't know if it's still around, but there used to be a Le Creuset outlet store at the junction of 880 and 550 (not sure this is correct number, but it's the connector from 880 to 5 north this side of Davis -a big conglomeration of outlets, restaurants, etc on the south side of 880).
I got a whole set of Le Creuset for $200 - 2 small fry pans which also served as lids for 2 sauce pans, 1 large fry pan w/out lid and 1 med/lrge casserole with lid. This was about 6 years ago, so it's probably more now, but they had a huge selection. If you can save $100 it's probably a good deal to make that drive.
I'd caution anybody who is cursed with an electric stove to REALLY be careful of Le Creuset, since the heat can crack the coating - since it's harder to tell if stove is off or on with elec.
I love my LC, but they are heavy - something I'm more aware of now that I'm old and decrepit.
re: oakjoan
Yes, it is in the Vacaville outlet mall off of 80. And I agree with those who said bigger is better.
re: oakjoan
Thanks, oakjoan, for reminding me about those LC outlet stores. I think you're referring to the Vacaville outlets, and in fact, the Gilroy outlets (which I can get to in about 40 min.) also have an LC store.
Well, I called the Gilroy outlet store and their prices def. aren't as low as online retailers. Was quoted $179 pre-tax for a first quality (no defect) 6.5 qt. oval whereas I can get it for $150 w/o tax or shipping from Cutlery & More. The rounds were equally inflated. Second quality (w/ minor defects) only get a 15% discount. Geez. Thank goodness for online commerce!
re: Carb Lover
Yeah, I figured the individ prices were not that great, but their "sets" are usually so cheap that it's worth it to go for them even if you throw away the rest of the pans ---- JUST KIDDING!!! PUT DOWN THAT GUN!!!
re: oakjoan
Oakjoan, Please tell me why electric stoves are a problem with the L.C.? I have a smooth top electric (wish I had gas) and one L.C. has a black bottom, but the other is enamel. I don't want to do anything to damage them, so please let me know what I need to do, or not do. TIA! Mary
When you say you are petite, it reminds me of when I got my Le Cru set for Christmas. I actually bought it myself but whatever. I got 4 pieces for $100 including shipping,on sale from Chefs' Catalog. Anyway, my sister-in-law (never weighed over 90 lbs in her life)was giving out the gifts, picked up the first package and almost fell over. Picked up the second package and started moaning. She made me pick up all the rest of my presents myself! Whenever I'm taking them out, I just pretend I'm doing a little weight training exercise. Don't worry, they are worth it!
I think Le Creu pots are pretty, but I must admit that I can't get over the price. My Lodge brand un-enameled cast iron cooks beautifully and lasts forever, and costs 1/4 of the price! My sister has a collection of Le Creu and I can't say that it cooks any better than my pots!
Welcome to LC! I think you'll be glad you got one. I would recommend the 7.25q. I have both (as well as a 3q--going out of business sale at a shop near here and an outlet an hour's drive away). I too am half of a two-person household and I love to entertain. The big one is invaluable for a lot of soup or stew or even mulled wine or cider in the fall/winter! Even just cooking for us (+ leftovers) I often start out with the 5q and find that I really should have used the larger one.
I am 5'1" and not terribly strong (although I have stepped up workouts since purchasing the ice cream machine!) and I don't have a problem with the 7.25q. Getting it on and off the stovetop, or in and out of the oven, is not a problem. I wouldn't, however, use it (or its smaller brethren) for something such as cooking noodles, since hoisting and draining might be a little much...
I have the 5.5 qt. in the Flame color (I love it that the French word is Flambeau). I love this pan, and use it a lot. That said, I would love to have a larger one, preferably oval, since I already have the round one. I know you will be happy with whichever one you choose. Yes, they are heavy, but they are just fabulous to cook with. BTW, I have an electric range and have not had any problem useing my LC on it.
check amazon.com. i bought a 7.25 dutch oven and a 9 inch grill pan for $139 dollars minus $25 so i payed around $114 for both. this includes s & h. this price was available during the friday sale.
Thank you so much, dear hounds, for your input. Looks like I will be in good company entering the world of Le Creuset. Another marker in my food journey: before-Chowhound vs. after-Chowhound.
Even w/ all of your great input, I'M STILL TORN! Ack! This is harder than buying a car (but alot more fun!). Shows that it boils down to personal preference, lifestyle, needs...and possibly that I can't limit myself to just one. :-) Even though I'm going to buy online, I'm going to check out the LC outlet store near me this weekend, so I can see and touch and lift. Good to see them in person.
I just remembered that my sister got the 6.5 oval one for her wedding last year and seems to use it regularly, so I'm going to ring her up tonight and pick her brain. Well, at least I've decided on the color. That's a first step. And thanks for the tips for bargain retailers. Gotta check out those Fri. Amazon sales. Also good to learn about Straub and Lodge brands, but I'm still ga-ga over LC's look and reputation. Thanks again!
re: Carb Lover
I bought a 5.5qt flame seconds at the LC outlet. After the purchase, I received a calendar coupon book. I think I offered it up before here but no takers. I can mail it to you if you want - hopefully in time for the weekend (I won't get it in the mail until tomorrow and I am in MA). It is a good idea to go to the store and take a look at the different sizes in person. You can test the heaviness etc.
Let me know.
re: tff
Thanks so much for your kind offer, tff; however, I don't think I'm actually going to buy from the outlet. Their prices that were quoted to me over the phone are much higher than online competitors, plus I'll get taxed (and I feel I already pay enough taxes to this great state).
Don't know how much you paid, but the Gilroy LC outlet charges $169 for the 5.5 round (15% off for second quality). I can get a first quality one online for $140 total, no tax or shipping fee. There may be even better deals floating about. Love this no tax thing via some online purchases and dread the day when that may change...thanks again for the offer.
re: Carb Lover
Stumbled across this link while surfing at Amazon and thought you might be interested. You can get the 7.25 quart round oven with a bonus square skinny grill for a special price.
re: Carb Lover
Not that you want to do anything rash, Carb Lover, but I think your indecision indicates that you will want to (eventually) get both!
Now that most hounds will have moved on from this thread I have a confession to make: although I am usually a sort of reverse-snob regarding kitchen equipment, and my storage space is limited, I LOVE LC. It is a joy to use, especially if, as I do, you like to make soup, stews, chili, paella and the like. Not only do I have the 3-, 5- and 7-ish quart round ovens I admitted to in my earlier post, I actually have 2 of the 7q (at some times of the year we have to use both simultaneously for entertaining purposes), the 6.5q oval (got that one at the going out of business sale of a local chain, but have to say I rarely use it), AND my husband recently bought an 8.25q round oven during the Cap Duval sale (I did try to discourage him, but not very hard).
So--get one, see how you like it, and don't be surprised if you start making a list for future gift occasions!
re: Carb Lover
I have the 6.5 oval one and I like the size a lot. I can make dinner for four in it up to eight. It will fit a large chicken, two rabbits, a good amount of short rib, yet is still manageable to pick up. I think the oval may give you more flexibility that the round, like if you have two smaller chickens you want to cook at the same time, for example.
for what it's worth at this point, i have the 5.5 flame orange one. i use it all the time. it's usually just two of us, but it makes plenty of leftovers, and i've never wished it were bigger, even when we've had several guests. it is a bit heavy and cumbersome to clean, but not horribly so.
in the end, i think you'll find that you'll be happy either way.
I just got my first one too about 2 weeks ago and it's the exact one you pictured. My husband got the larger one and he got a GREAT deal at Bizrate.com $150.00 plus shipping. I LOVE this pan as it gives you the wonderful brown bits (fond) that I could never get with other pans. It is heavy and cumbersome but my husband usually gets it out and replaces it in the cabinet. You'll be happy with either size, but I say go for the large at that price.
I was just using the 13-quart last night. I am not a particularly large/strong person. When it is full, it is a little difficult to get out of the oven, and bows the rack a little bit. The other problem with this is that it looks so empty, so last night I made far too much spaghetti sauce.
So. I have been needing something between that and the 3.5 quart buffet casserole that I use constantly. I personally have the 6.5-qt oval on my wish list--definitely the oval for aforementioned roast shape considerations.
I had my eye on the doufeu, mostly because I like to avoid the screw-in handle on top if possible. However, I saw a similar set-up in Chef's catalog that has the top double as a grill pan (on the underside), and now am torn. Has anyone used either of these?
I bought my 7.25 LC Round Oven w/Bonus Grill from Cutlery & More for $159 (no tax, free shipping) last year and had no problems at all. Arrived in amply cushioned packaging. They had the best price at the time.
I love using my Round Oven LC -- it's heavy but definitely doable. Pleanty of space for browing a large batch of meat which saves me a lot of time. That said, I will eventually get a 3.5/4.5 qt Round Oven for dishes that require layering and less surface area. I've used the bonus grill twice and had great results, beautiful grill marks. It's a challenge to thoroughly clean, but from what I've seen on these boards that's a problem many have with any brand.
I had this same dilemma last winter-- knew i wanted a 5.5 or 7.25 round french oven, but couldn't decide which. I fretted and fretted and posted here about it and got some good advice. Eventually I wound up yes, I'll admit it, buying both. I got lucky with the Caplan Duval sale, and paid about 110 for the 5.5 and 130 for the 7.25 in the blue color (then the cheapest), plus a total of about 35 bucks for shipping.
I use the 5.5 qt one far more frequently. I cook for two, but I always want leftovers for lunches, so I usually aim for 4-6 servings per meal. However, as Chowhounds in the know predicted back when I was debating, I find that fairly often I start something in the 5.5 qt and wind up pouring it in to the 7.25 qt for more room. The 7.25 qt gets used pretty frequently for soups, stews, and big pots of tomato sauce.
I say buy one now- either one, you can't go wrong really since they both have many uses. Then, in years to come, you can perhaps splurge for the other when you find the right price.
Have fun! I also divide my cooking life into pre- and post- Le Creuset, and pre- and post- knife skills class!

I must admit that I often think of how thankful I am that I did the whole dating thing before smart phones, Facebook, and even really before life was impossible without the internet.
Honestly, in university, I still had to use microfiche for the odd research project. In an effort to support a friend I have read over their online dating prospects and given advice on "first contact" messages, or a response to a query. It is stressful! To all of you braving the world of online dating, I commend you.
All that being said, the tall one has had the occasional conversation about whether we'd find each other if left up to online dating. Our answer is obviously a resounding "of course," but I've decided that dating each other online would be a fun and entertaining, albeit a silly, date idea.
Initially I thought it might be reasonable to each put up a profile on a free dating website, but then realized that it would be public, and there'd be no way to stop others from messaging us.
Pretending to be single and having other singles try to start a relationship with you isn't really healthy for any marriage, so we'll nix that.
Instead, make up your own private profile and email it to each other. Then start a dialogue. Ask each other questions. Google them, stalk their Facebook profile and all that kind of fun.
Take the time on your work breaks to send off a quick email or text, and when you're ready, decide where and when you should meet.
At that time, get ready for your first date. If you really want to go "all in," leave your house at separate times and meet each other at the location. From there, enjoy your evening together. Whether you continue to pretend you're on your first date, or you just have fun reminiscing about your few days of online dating each other, it's sure to be a nice evening out.
Again, I know this is on the sillier scale of date night ideas, but if you're up for it, a little silliness is often a recipe for a good time.

Because Ed's wife Sue provided their phone number, he and I talked for a couple hours last night, checking family stories with each other and talking about photos and farms and relatives. BTW, we're 4th cousins and our common ancestor was George Valentin Janson. You'll need this info for the quiz.

This is the safest method on how to root your U.S Samsung Galaxy S3 AT&T SGH-I747, Canada Telus,Rogers and Bell SGH-I747 variants without messing up your phone in no time. Many users already screwed up their Galaxy S3 devices from rooting methods that results to missing the IMEI number after loading or installing a wrong root kernels/clockworkmod recovery.
The IMEI is a 15-digit number under your battery. dialing *#06# should display the same number under your battery. If you get a different number or something like 0 / 00, you have corrupted your IMEI. Your network identifies your phone by its IMEI. Once you lost it, your carrier network provider would not provide service to your device, even after getting a new sim card. So, beware about that from happening to your precious Galaxy S3.
The idea on this root method is by injecting a rooted system image on the original stock ROM or firmware officially released by Samsung. So, the best thing about it is that you can simply root your Samsung Galaxy S3 phone without tripping the binary flash counter.
This rooting method is likely just manually installing the original firmware to your phone by using of Odin downloader tool.
Rooting Quick Guide
Odin flasher - Odin3_v3.07
USB Driver - Samsung Android USB Driver
Download and Extract the stock_root69.tar from the .7z file from the link below
Use PC with Windows OS (Odin will not work on Mac and Linux OSX)
Make sure to fully recharge your battery
Use the original supplied USB cable for your Galaxy S3
1. Run Odin on your PC desktop
2. Boot the Galaxy S3 into download mode screen for Odin.
Turn it off, once completely shut down hold down the 'HOME' + 'VOLUME DOWN' buttons and press the 'POWER' button for about 2 seconds until a WARNING! Screen appears. Press the 'VOLUME UP' button to continue or enter Download Mode.
3. Connect the phone to PC via USB. Then make sure you can see as phone "Added" in Odin log box or highlight the COM:ID once the device is detected,
4. In Odin window, DO Not tick 'RE-Partition' only Tick 'Auto Reboot' and 'F. Reset Time' and nothing else.
5. Now load the root system image root69.stock_ATT_I747UCLG1.tar (for AT&T) on the PDA button.
7. Wait until the flashing finishes and the phone completely reboots.
Grab the correct root system image according to your phone carrier, posted by mrRobinson here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1739426

Associated Press
BUDAPEST, Hungary (AP) -- He was a rising star of Hungary's far-right, dumped by his party after he admitted he was a Jew. Two years later, Csanad Szegedi has completed an astonishing transformation: He goes to synagogue, eats Kosher food and has adopted the Hebrew name Dovid.
As a leader in Hungary's Jobbik Party, Szegedi whipped up crowds by accusing Jews of "buying up the country" and mocking the "Jewishness" of Hungary's political class. Then came the revelation that upended his career: His maternal grandparents were Jews -- which under Jewish law made him one, too. Szegedi acknowledged his roots after video surfaced of a suspected blackmailer confronting him with evidence of his Jewishness.
In the political wilderness, Szegedi has apparently had a spiritual awakening.
Last year, he sought out a young rabbi in the local Orthodox Jewish community. After a period of intense religious instruction, Szegedi was circumcised last June, a year to the day after he broke with Jobbik. Today he takes Jewish religion classes with his wife, who is also converting to Judaism.
"I am just as Hungarian as until now, but I have expanded my own identity with the Jewish identity," Szegedi, 31, told The Associated Press. "I have two tasks ahead of me -- to teach and to learn. I want to be a bridge."
Szegedi was a founder of the Hungarian Guard, a now-banned militia whose black uniforms recalled the Arrow Cross, a pro-Nazi party that briefly governed Hungary at the end of World War II and killed thousands of Jews. As a Jobbik member, he took one of the three seats the party won in 2009 European Parliament elections.
Szegedi kept his seat after being dropped by Jobbik and went on to advocate stronger ties with Israel and Roma integration, while condemning the rise of extremism in the EU.
The first step in Szegedi's personal transformation came days after Jobbik kicked him out -- ostensibly because Szegedi offered the blackmailer hush money, not because he was Jewish.
Szegedi had just published a 316-page book of his interviews, speeches and writings, including anti-Semitic rants. He asked bookstores to return several thousand copies of "I Believe in Hungary's Resurrection," dumped them in an oil drum at a railway depot -- and set them on fire.
"To burn a book is always a barbaric, primitive thing, but I felt that, symbolically and spiritually, fire always cleanses," Szegedi told The AP. "With this I was able to cleanse my own past and bring that era to a close. The cover has my picture on it and it was very strange to see my face burn."
Still, he decided to save a few copies "so I can give them to my children and tell them, 'This also belongs to your father's life.'"
Chief Chabad Rabbi Boruch Oberlander, who is teaching Szegedi about Judaism, said the former rightist's change of heart appears to be authentic.
"He is still very young so he can start all over again," said Oberlander. "He is winning many friends in the Jewish community."
After his circumcision, Oberlander added, "some Jews said, 'Ah, now we see that he is really serious.'"
Oberlander said Szegedi was an "extreme example" of how Hungarian Jews were rediscovering their identities. Upon learning he was a Jew, Szegedi also found out that his grandmother survived Auschwitz, and his grandfather a Nazi labor camp.
The grandmother, Magdolna Klein, kept her heritage hidden for fear the persecution would be repeated, a common choice among Hungarian Holocaust survivors. Those fears, still present nearly 70 years later, made her plead with her grandson to keep quiet after he learned he was a Jew, Szegedi said.
It was only shortly before she died in March, at age 94, that she was able to accept her grandson's embrace of Judaism, he said.
"On her death bed," Szegedi said, "my grandmother said that deep in her soul she was happy that her youngest grandson was picking up the chain which had been broken in the 1950s."
Szegedi now sees no redeeming values in his former party, but defends its supporters. He attributed his own extremist politics to ignorance and the influence of friends he made when he moved to Budapest from eastern Hungary to study history at university.
"The political intention of Jobbik's leadership is to generate tensions in society," Szegedi said. "It does not make much sense to debate with them, but the majority of Jobbik's 1 million voters are not anti-Semitic or racist -- they are simply people in despair."

Adam Smith once commented that "there is a great deal of ruin in a nation". He meant that bungling governments imposed only a limited check on the economic performance of a Great Nation.
As Nathanael Smith and I show in our study of US economic contractions, Adam Smith would be much less sanguine were he confronted by today's financial crisis and the US government's response. Indeed, it is not impossible that the US will experience the kind of economic collapse from first- to third-world status experienced by Argentina under the national socialist governance of Juan Peron.
The US economy suffers from a growing culture of indebtedness that has increasingly contaminated the federal government since 2001 and has spilled over dramatically into private household behaviour. The combination of the ill-conceived fiscal-furnace fired by President Bush and the US Congress and the reckless monetary-furnace fired by Alan Greenspan and Ben Bernanke throughout the period 2001-2007, created unsustainable housing market and stock market bubbles whose collapse brought on the financial crisis and economic contraction of 2008-2009.
The policy responses to the debt bubble demonstrate crude political consideration rather than economic understanding. If excessive government indebtedness is a major source of the problem, why increase the government debt? Why encourage households to go yet further into debt?
The prognosis is catastrophic if projected government policies are not cut back. According to the White House's own estimates, the federal budget deficit in 2009 will be $1.6 trillion, approximately 11.2pc of the overall economy, the highest on record since the end of the Second World War. In 2019, the national debt will represent 76.5pc of the US national economy, the highest proportion since just after the Second World War. In such circumstances, the international reserve status of the US dollar will not survive. As it fades, so interest rates on government securities will rise and the real burden of servicing the debt will increase. In such circumstances, the US economy will teeter on the edge of a black hole.
Prosperity and full employment in the US will only be restored by a return to laissez-faire capitalism. Our study outlines a radical, but politically feasible, approach. Monetary policy should be expansionary. But, on the micro-economic side, tariffs and other trade

text: Not So Free Speech by Jerome Hudson 5 Feb 2013 post a comment Share This: With all the talk surrounding the attacks on the Second Amendment, little attention is being paid to the First. Former "Teacher of the Year," and Alabama high school football coach, Bob Grisham, has been suspended for ten days without pay for calling First Lady Michelle Obama a "big fat Gorilla." Grisham also said that he doesn't "like queers." and said that what they do is an "abomination against God." Here's the audio of what Grisham said: I think Grisham's comments about the First Lady are disgraceful and largely irrelevant. However, I believe that Grisham should be able to say whatever he wants to say, about whomever he wants to it. Grisham made these comments in front of a psychology class, which opens up an ethical and legal can of worms. But the issue here isn't about the capacity in which Grisham said what he said. The issue here is about the silencing of speech some deem punishable because they don't like it. We can either have a right to free speech, including the insensitive and shameful speech we don't like, or not. Both cannot be true. P.S. Out: endless press coverage about trillion dollar deficits. In: endless press coverage about some nobody high school football coach.

15 Summer Styles That Tame Curly Hair
The last thing you want to do is spend hours straightening your hair, only to see it frizz the second you step outside. Instead, try working with your natural texture, and you'll look chic no matter how hot it is.
By Jennifer Conrad
Maria Bello
A low bun or chignon with a few strands hanging loose in the front has an easy, sexy effect on curly hair. "Humidity really affects the texture of wavy and curly hair because when hair is dry, it reaches for moisture in the humid environment, creating frizz and uncontrollable volume," says Bretz. Fight back by washing hair just a couple times a week with a sulfate-free shampoo—sulfates can strip the scalp's natural oils—like DevaCurl/Care Low Poo ($16.96) and a hydrating conditioner.

Background is not mine it is literally a screenshot of Final Destination
Decided to do a special for the SSB hype! Get a SSB-themed drawing for $15 + $5 for extra characters (up to 4 characters) and a free background for a limited time only.
Backgrounds will be painted by me not just screenshots
An example would be your characters dressed up as SSB characters fighting on a stage of your choice, like this one. Characters will be portrayed as equally matched unless you specify which one should be winning. Be sure to specify which fighter your character would be dressed as and which stage you want. Single characters are fine too as long as you specify what you want them to be doing.
Message me if interested.
|Keep the premium going, whatever. Donate if you're feeling generous.
Thanks to anyone who helps out~
I'll draw one SKETCH for anyone who donates 300 points or more. If you're particularly generous and I have time, I'll add lineart/color. I would offer more, but I can't really do full point commissions when I need real money to pay for school.
Please note me for your request, or else you probably won't get anything. 2 characters max per sketch.

Get the beretta compact, great gun
I am very happy with my Nano. It is reliable, accurate and easy to pocket carry or in a holster IWB or OWB. I do use a Remora 4ART a lot. I carry every day. I have had it since January 15, 2012. The 6 FTEx were early on with poor ammo.
Nano NU0018xx
350 Monarch 115gr FMJ brass
55 Monarch 124gr JHP brass
250 RWS 124gr FMJ brass
14 Speer Gold Dot 115gr GDHP
247 Winchester 124gr NATO
14 Hornady 135gr Critical Duty
50 Blazer 115gr FMJ brass (2 FTE)
100 Speer Lawman 124gr FMJ (4 FTE)
25 PMC 115gr FMJ (very old but worked fine)
50 American Eagle 124gr FMJ
Yesterday I made another range trip for the purpose of checking out the new Bedair stainless guide rod I had installed in the Nano. Of course it worked just fine. I shot 100 Academy/Monarch 115 gr FMJ with no problems. This now makes 1255 rounds total.
Personally, I would choose a Beretta over a Glock. I don't like the way Beretta shoots, but, I have never seen a Beretta blow up in someones hands either. I have seen 2 Glocks do that.
The world is filled with violence. Because criminals carry guns, we decent law-abiding citizens should also have guns. Otherwise they will win and the decent people will lose.

What model Beretta? I own 5 Glocks and thy have been great guns, Id love to get a 92 Inox tho

2 children, 1 woman rescued from house fire on Detroit's east side
Updated On: May 22 2013 07:24:41 PM EDT
Two children were pulled from a house that was possibly firebombed early Wednesday morning on Detroit's east side.
Detroit Fire Chief Robert Zygmontowicz said when firefighters arrived at the scene in the 800 block of Navahoe Street, a 3-month-old boy had already been rescued from the fire but suffered burns.
Firefighters went into the house and were able to rescue a 6-year-old boy through a window. They had to do CPR on him to revive him and ended up rushing him to Children's Hospital where he is in critical condition.
Zygmontowicz said EMS was en route but they firefighters decided to take the boy to the hospital themselves because of the situation.
A woman in her 20s also was rescued from the home and taken to Detroit Receiving Hospital where she is in critical condition.
Lea Wilson lived in that home and said everyone is grateful for Zygmontowicz's bravery and the firefighters who helped.
"He was very quick on his toes. He didn't worry about not having protective gear on. He just ran to save the child," Wilson said. "He immediately jumped into action and I'm so grateful that he did."
The fire is being called arson. However, it's unclear if a firebomb is to blame.

text: Supreme Court to Decide if Law-Abiding Citizens May Buy Guns for Others Print article Send a Tip by AWR Hawkins 25 Jan 2014 post a comment On January 22, the Supreme Court heard arguments in Abramski v. United States, a case focused on whether a lawful gun buyer may legally purchase a gun he plans to sell in the future to another lawful gun buyer. Bruce James Abramski is a former police officer who purchased a Glock because he could get a discounted price and then "transferred the gun to his uncle in Pennsylvania." According to Fox News, Abramski "was later indicted under federal law for making a false statement material to the lawfulness of a firearm sale--and for making a false statement with respect to information required to be kept in the records of a licensed firearm dealer" (FFL). These charges stem from question 11a on ATF background check Form 4473, which asks: Are you the actual transferee/buyer of the firearm(s) listed on this form? Warning: You are not the actual buyer if you are acquiring the firearm(s) on behalf of another person. If you are not the actual buyer, the dealer cannot transfer the firearm(s) to you. This question is problematic if interpreted the way it was by those who indicted Abramski because striking down the legality of a law-abiding citizen buying a gun which he or she transfers to another law abiding citizen would also affect buying a gun that one plans to give--to transfer as a gift--to a law abiding citizen. That interpretation effectively criminalizes a father buying a rifle for his son for Christmas or a mother buying a handgun to transfer to her daughter who is going off to college. Moreover, law-abiding citizens have been buying and selling/transferring guns to one another in the United States since 1787. On the ATF website, question 2 on the ATF Form 4473 FAQ page asks: "Does an unlicensed person need an ATF Form 4473 to transfer a firearm?" Answer: "No. ATF Form 4473 is required only for transfers by a licensee." Follow AWR Hawkins on Twitter @AWRHawkins.
