Fresh or frozen you should brine it. I use Heston Blumenthals method :http://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-1340898/Heston-Blumenthals-Christmas-recipes-From-turkey-crisp-potatoes.html
I only use his brining method though, not the rest of it.
- retrogeezer2 years, 6 hours ago #14Show comment tools ReplySo what does this brining do to enhance the Turkey?

Spread as much butter under the skin as you can, especially the legs if using a whole bird.
Stuff only the neck cavity with a mixture of sage and onion stuffing and sausage meat (equal volumes), adding a litlle extremely finely diced onion and either fresh or dried sage to the mix.
Sew the skin firmly in place where loose, even if preparing a crown - helps keep the butter basting the meat and the stuffing from oozing out.
Coat the entire skin with a thin layer of butter and then place streaky bacon over the breast area, and then over and around the legs, encasing them entirely.
Fold a square of foil diagonally. slice across the fold and the encase the legs in the foil triangles.
In a roasting tin put a leek sliced, a carrot finely sliced lengthways, an onion finely sliced, a glass of wine and a glass of water.
Place the turkey on top
Cover the turkey and tin with foil, leaving one side not really tightly tucked in.
Put into a very hot oven (220C) for 20 minutes and then reduce the temperature to 190C to 200C.
This cooks very quickly as the bird is partially steamed, so check after 1.5 hours when cooking a 5kg bird and adjust final cooking according to your results so far. It probably won't take longer than 2.5 hours.
Always check that there is no pink juice coming from the thickest part of the bird to ensure it's fully cooked but do not overcook as this is what makes it dry. Also remember that whist resting the turkey will continue to cook a little.
The liquid in the pan makes wonderful gravey too.
Long-winded but failproof. Good luck!

1 package (18.25-ounce) yellow cake mix, Betty Crocker®
11⁄4 cups lemonade, Minute Maid®
1 cup lemon curd, Dickinson's®
1⁄4 cup canola oil
1⁄4 cup finely shredded lemon zest
3 eggs
8 drops yellow food coloring, McCormick®
3⁄4 cup whipped cream cheese, softened, Philadelphia®
6 egg whites
1⁄2 teaspoon cream of tartar, McCormick®
1⁄2 cup sugar
1⁄4 teaspoon lemon extract, McCormick®
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line twenty-four 2 1⁄2-inch muffin cups with paper baking cups and set aside.
In a large bowl, combine cake mix, lemonade, 1⁄4 cup of the lemon curd, the oil, lemon zest, eggs, and yellow food coloring; beat with an electric mixer on low speed for 30 seconds. Using a rubber spatula, scrape down sides of the bowl and beat on medium speed for 2 minutes more. Spoon batter into prepared muffin cups, filling each two-thirds full. Bake in preheated oven for 18 to 22 minutes or until wooden pick inserted in centers comes out clean. Remove from muffin cups; cool on wire racks.
For lemon filling, in a large bowl, beat cream cheese with electric mixer on low speed until smooth. Add the remaining 3⁄4 cup lemon curd and beat until well mixed. Make a 1⁄2-inch slit in the top center of each cupcake. Place lemon filling in a medium zip-top bag; press out air and seal bag. Cut a small hole in a corner of the bag. Pipe lemon filling into slits in cupcakes.
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. For meringue, in a large clean bowl and clean beaters, beat egg whites with an electric mixer on medium speed until foamy. Add cream of tartar and beat on high speed until soft peaks form. Gradually add the sugar and lemon extract, beating until stiff peaks form. Top each cupcake with a spoonful of the meringue. Place 12 of the cupcakes on a baking sheet, spacing evenly. Bake for 6 to 8 minutes or until meringue is golden brown. Repeat with the remaining cupcakes and meringue. Cool on a wire cooling rack.

A dog was rescued from a hot car Wednesday afternoon at a mall parking lot, as temperatures crept above 90 degrees outside.
A car parked in the Arden Fair Mall lot before 1 p.m. Security became aware of a dog inside the car about an hour later.
They got the dog out, and are giving it some water in the shade. The dog's owners returned around 90 later.
Security officials say the owner did leave water and food for the dog inside the car.
"His intentions were good. He had water, he had food, windows down," said Steve Reed, head of security at the mall. "But it still overheats and it's accentuated when you put a fur coat on. At 110 degrees in 10 minutes, a dog can have heat stroke."
FOX40 learned that the daughter in the family just moved to the area and everyone else is from out of town. None of them were aware of the city ordinances that prohibit leaving an animal in a car.
Mall security say this is the fifth animal rescue of this kind this year in the mall parking lot.

Chocolate-Buttercream Peppermint Patty's
Chocolate-Buttercream Peppermint Patty's
These buttercream mints are surprisingly simple. They require no baking, and can be whipped up in a matter of minutes. Even better they are formed from a beautiful dough that can be rolled, cut, twisted, and molded into just about any shape, size or color. As I was making them, I wondered why so many people mold from marzipan, when buttercream dough offers the same moldability with (what I think is) a much more friendly flavor. Because they air-dry over several hours, be sure to keep your creations small. And…try not to eat all of the dough because it's deeee-licious!
1/4 c. butter, softened
1 T. heavy cream
2 1/2 c. powdered sugar
1/2 tsp. peppermint extract
1/4 tsp. food coloring
1 cup dark chocolate, melted

This week on "Your Home" we're addressing wet basements. Following this summer's storms, many of you have been undoubtedly dealing with water in your basement. If you're cellar gets water regularly and you don't have a sump pump, listen up.
"When you put a system into a basement you want to size the pump correctly based on the area it's in and information from the customer about how much water they've had in the past. We do sump pumps where we install just one pump. We have systems where we have six to eight pumps in one basement," said Dry basement expert Kevin Koval.
Whether you have one or multiple pumps installed, Koval said it's important to have a battery back-up online as well.
"When we install a system we want to make sure the basement is dry all of the time, not just when the electricity is on or the pump is functioning. A battery back-up pump will continue to run regardless of whether there's electricity or a primary pump failure," said Koval.
If you live along the river or any other extremely flood prone area, a lone sump pump, according to Koval, isn't going to cut it. You should seriously consider installing what is essentially a fail proof system.
"A sump pump alone is not going to keep a basement dry. But having a full perimeter system and getting the water to the pump and then pumping it out is what the heart of the system is. The basement should stay dry if you have a proper system with sump pumps. The ultimate system is to have an automatic start back-up generator with two pumps installed," said Koval.
For those with newly installed or existing systems, Koval recommends making sure it's actually functioning before any weather moves in. Make sure it's clean and free of any debris or build-up. Keep an eye on your gutters as well and make sure the land around your house is sloping away.

AP LA's Anthony McCartney on the Joys of Covering Celebrity Courtroom Drama
Although there will be some fireworks during Katherine Jackson vs. AEG, this legal matter will in all likelihood not be as striking to AP entertainment reporter Anthony McCartney as the Conrad Murray trial. Speaking to FishbowlLA Tuesday morning ahead of a day of early jury selection for the Jackson-AEG battle, he cited last year's Murray trial as one that stands out during his five-plus years with AP.
"The recording of Michael Jackson's voice that they played during the trial, during opening statements was one of the more stunning moments that I've handled as a court reporter," McCartney remembers. "No one knew the tape existed."
"So much of what happened in that Jackson case involved two people, and one of them was dead," he continues. "So to hear from the deceased party, in the courtroom, was very haunting. [Prosecuting attorney] David Walgren was also extremely impressive. There was a closing argument that he gave, where he emphasized the refrain "poor Conrad Murray" to call out the excuses that Murray had made for his actions and Murray's defense that he was persecuted and it wasn't his fault. Very effective."
Then there is Lindsay Lohan. McCartney has covered her ad nauseum for AP and when asked for his take on what ails her (pre-Tuesday night's instantly infamous David Letterman interview), he points to something a judge once said.
"It's gotten to the point where I absolutely refuse to predict what's going to happen in a Lindsay Lohan court hearing," he confesses. "One of the more surprising things one of her judges said, about a year and a half ago, was that after looking at all the psychological reports, she didn't think that Lohan was an addict. She thought that her problems were psychological. I think that statement caught a lot of people by surprise."

This week we had our first real snow of the season and it lasted for a few days. I was super excited until I realized that meant I had to walk from work to the rec center in a blizzard on half plowed sidewalks� No joke. I couldn�t see more than about 10 to 15 ft. in front of me. About 5 seconds into it I realized it was not one of my most thought out endeavors. And on the way back, while the snow lessened the wind was worse (my waterproof mascara was no match for my watery eyes and the snow). I lived though.
One perk was that I learned how look decent after my workout when I am unable to take a shower. It�s simple! All you have to do is blow dry your hair and style it as normal. Who would have thought! And all this time I was walking around looking like a hot mess when in 5 minutes I could have looked like a beauty queen (ha ha almost). Anyway that was a beauty tip from fitnessmagazine.com. I just use the hand blow dryer in the restroom, people look at me funny but what else is new.
I learned how to make homemade ice cream in a bag this week. It was fabulous! I found the recipe on sparkrecipes.com. The catch is you have to work for it as you must shake the bag vigorously for about 5 min for the stuff to freeze. I started out using my gloves but they were too thin, so I switched to using my dad�s new gloves� He wasn�t too happy about that cause I got them all wet before he even got a chance to wear them. That aside, I thoroughly enjoyed my healthified ice cream and I didn�t have to leave the house to get it! Score!
My sister got Just Dance 3 for Christmas and I started a 7 day Just Sweat challenge. I have no idea how to work the program and am practically video game illiterate (except for Mario Brothers) and ended up doing way over the quota set for me two days in a row (�Hey! How do you stop this thing!!?�). The third day I accidently robbed my mom out of all her points... Oops. She also kept yelling at me because I almost hit her in the face, I told her I was far enough away that I wouldn�t (I didn�t tell her that I had already hit myself in the face the day before). It has been interesting and again people look at me.
I got bored with my hair again so I dyed a reddish-pink streak in it (hence, I�m used to people looking at me funny). I like it, it suits my personality. At Christmas I got lots of new well-fitting clothes. So I look like a whole new person, no more saggy bottom jeans for me! I made it to a size 9 in some pants, still an 11 in others though� I�m pretty sure it is a conspiracy.
I didn�t gain any weight over Christmas but I didn�t really lose any either so I am working out harder. As my boyfriend threatens, �if you don�t lose it in time, you aren�t going to Disney. That was the deal,� (it turns out since some of it is paid for I can go but he will be really mad at me, great). So I made some resolutions so that I can get to Disney: 1) Do the 15 min stomach exercises at least 3 times a week (got to have a flat belly for Disney!), 2) Exercise at least 4 times a week at the rec for 30 plus minutes, 3) find the rowing machine if they have one and use it, 4) alternate days at the cardio equipment and swimming aka change it up! Since Disney is about halfway through the year I will have to come up with a second set of resolutions for the next half of the year.
Last week Spark People had a list to choose this year�s best exercise tunes. I have to admit that I only knew about 25% of the songs on the list, so a coworker and I listened to all of them and voted whether we would be able to exercise to them or not�. We decided that we probably would not be able to exercise to the majority of them; they were way too mellow!
I find that I prefer to listen to rock. Especially, rock ballads from the 60�s - 80�s! Pat Benatar�s Hit Me with Your Best Shot�. Carry on my Wayward Son by Kansas�. Lynyrd Skynyrd� Poison� ACDC�Joan Jett� I like some newer things too that made the list like Gym Class Heroes� Pink�. Even Adele has enough soul to keep me going. But that�s the kind of music that really gets me moving. No offense Spark People, but compared to my list, yours is kinda pansyish.
When I�m listening to my tunage (my uncle�s word) I can totally forget that I am exercising. I get lost in my musical world where I can�t feel my lunges gasping for air and the sweat doesn�t even bother me. The old creeper who is on the bike next to me vanishes and the perfect, skinny, little blonde with awesome legs running (faster than I could ever dream to) on the next treadmill over disappears. And all that is left is me pumping with the beat.
Then when I am completely in my own world, I play the air guitar as awesome as Hendrix. When there is a drum solo you know who has it covered; hey Ringo, I�ve got this one! And if I�m not completely gasping I can even mouth all the words�. Well, realistically, most of them. Yes I am the girl on the treadmill or bike totally rocking out, maybe you�ve seen me. Don�t worry I won�t see you if you are making fun of how ridiculous I look playing the intro to Pink Floyd�s Wish You Were Here. And I can�t hear you when I�m hitting the high hat and playing the bass drum with my bike pedal to ACDC�s T.N.T.
The way I see it, I�m doing the most embarrassing thing I can do in front of you any way�. Sweating! Gross! So I might as well have a kick ass time doing it. So sit back and enjoy the show� who knows I might even fall off if you watch long enough
I regret to say that this weekend was a falling off the wagon weekend. I went to family parties. I ate too much. I even had a drink for three days in a row! And I didn�t track a thing! Horror!
But I found out some things:
1)I don�t feel like beating myself up! I don�t feel like starving myself for a day, or over-exercising to counter it. I�m not berating myself and picking at my flab. I know that Monday, at my designated time I will do my killer workout at the rec no matter who looks at me funny for counting down out loud or between breaths saying �just a little more, you can do it.� I also know that the calorie counter is waiting for me to get back on track. And that fact comforts me. While I am not exactly happy about the 2 steps back, I know what to do and how to handle it. For a perfectionist that is a huge accomplishment.
2)While I know I overate, at no point during the weekend did I feel so stuffed that I could just explode, I really didn�t even feel uncomfortable, just pleasantly full. I can stop before I go too far! I actually can control myself somewhat by monitoring how I feel.
3)I will tell anyone who listens about spark people. All of my cousins are working hard to lose weight and keep an exercise schedule; one even told me she writes down everything in a note book and calculates it by hand! Too much brain work for me. In listening to them I realized that while they may all have slightly different goals, spark people can help them too. And I truly want to share this feeling with them; they need to experience it too! Spark people is not something that should be kept a secret, and it�s free for good granny�s sake!
4)You shouldn�t spend too much on clothes when you�re only halfway to your goal. Once again I am having the underwear issue and my new skinny jeans are not fitting like skinny jeans.
5)I cannot drink like I used too. I am officially a cheap date light-weight. I guess this is a good thing because I really shouldn�t be drinking all those empty calories anyway, not to mention I spend less money. But really I was drunk off of one beer, good thing I was at home!
6)The better you think you look comparatively, the more others will look at you and agree� especially your boyfriend.
7)Lastly, to quote my friend �just because it comes in your size, doesn�t mean you should wear it�
Maybe once in a while it is good to fall of the wagon. It makes you test yourself and stop and think about how far you have come in other ways than just your central weight loss goal. So dont worry about me, I learned how to run, I'll catch up and jump back on.
Well I am over halfway to my weight loss goal. That notion is crazy to me. I have lost twice as much as I have ever been able to loose! I feel very accomplished. This week I learned I could run a full mile, without walking, stopping, or dropping dead. I also learned before that, that I was running incorrectly and that was part of the reason running was so difficult to me. I guess I did it this time because I can no longer use the excuse that I have exercise induced asthma or that my knees and hips are bad.
While I am breaking up with my excuses, I�d also like to break up with some other things. First of all I would like to break up with any pants sized 13 and over. We just no longer fit well together and you have caused me some very embarrassing moments recently (like that stunt you tried to pull at church-that wasn�t nice). Plus you�re no longer getting along with my belts; you�re just not a team player anymore. Maybe when I am to my goal I will be able to wear a single digit size.
I�d also like to break up with my chin�s double. You see I just don�t think it�s working out. I look back at pictures and can�t believe how big I let you get. I am not a turkey, I don�t need a gobbler. And I certainly don�t need you flapping in the wind. Plus smiling is supposed to make one look better, not worse. So to you I also say adieu. While we�re at it goodbye thunder thighs, au revior jiggle arms, later sausage fingers, and chow muffin top.
Now that I have finished the dirty work let move onto the rest of my life. I finally got my belly button pierced this week in celebration of reaching my halfway point. Everyone was busy so I went by myself. My dad asked if some shady guy did it in the back room�. Well, that�s kinda how it�s done. It went over pretty well, it didn�t even hurt all that much. The same day, I received my acceptance letter into grad school! And I gave myself a paper cut on the web between my fingers trying to open the stupid letter. I screamed like a baby, so much for doing well when I got pierced. I also realized now I must work on my midsection, in order to get it into shape to actually be showing off a belly button ring. Ah well there�s always a catch.
So today I weighed myself on the new scale and I am finally halfway there!! It is very interesting trying to find clothes that fit, but in reverse. I used to have problems with fitting into them, now the issue is filling them out. A few weeks ago at church I almost de-pantsed myself. I stepped on the hem and down they went. I sing in the choir so while there is a podium in front of me, I�m still in front of the entire congregation. I caught them just in the nic of time. I have resorted to finding everything that I didn�t give to good will and wearing it. I think I may need to pay them a visit to them to buy my old clothes back�. That should be interesting.
Normally I am pretty punctual, actually I am usually 15 minute early to everything. But this week I have been off my game. I left work and walked to class (10 min across campus). When I got there my professor shook his finger at me and said �bad girl.� I was slightly offended I didn�t do anything wrong! He said I skipped class, I told him class was in 5 minutes, he said class just ended and I had better hurry if I wanted to make it to my next class on time (across campus again, go figure). Explicative AWESOME! So I rushed back across campus, settled into my seat and some kid opened the door and says �um, there is a sign on the door that says class is cancelled today. Just thought I�d let y�all know.� Needless to say I was a bit miffed; however a Vin Diesel movie was on at the rec center, so I felt a little better (and exercised longer just to continue watching it).
I have been dying my hair since middle school, not really because I need to but because I get bored really easily with it. It�s been every shade of red you could think of. But this week I really wanted to look good for a really important interview, so I dyed it light red. It came out a cross between hot pink and electric orange. People who normally don�t notice me talked to me, and those who usually say hi avoided me because they didn�t know how to approach the subject. While I have noticed a few more looks my way since I�ve lost some weight, people actually gawked at me. But I held my head up, looked right in their eyes, and smiled. People don�t really like that; they feel violated and look away. That�s right, I�m still a badass, you gawk at me and I�ll stare your ass down. I re-dyed it that night, interview went well, and the universe is in balance again.
I couldn�t leave it alone though. My bangs have been almost nonexistent, so today I had my sister cut them. They are a little short, but they�ll grow and they don�t really look all that bad. So as I was getting used to them, my boyfriend tells me I look like Justin Beaver. Thanks babe, you�re so kind. �Just your hair, not your face.� That makes it so much better�. To which he says �lol, you know you�re hot,� and you�re lucky I love you and that you�re not within arm�s reach.

Definitions for water taxi
This page provides all possible meanings and translations of the word water taxi
Random House Webster's College Dictionary
wa′ter tax′i(n.)
a motorboat that transports passengers, as between waterfront resorts or communities, for a fare.
Category: Common Vocabulary
Origin of water taxi:
water taxi(Noun)
A small boat that can transport small groups of passengers for a fee
Water taxi
A water taxi or water bus, also known as a commuter boat, is a watercraft used to provide public transport, usually but not always in an urban environment. Service may be scheduled with multiple stops, operating in a similar manner to a bus, or on demand to many locations, operating in a similar manner to a taxi. A boat service shuttling between two points would normally be described as a ferry rather than a water bus or taxi. The term water taxi is usually confined to a boat operating on demand, and water bus to a boat operating on a schedule. In North American usage, the terms are roughly synonymous.

Waterfall in Zion Canyon
Another from the archive (don't worry, new pics are on the way). This was from a road trip back in the fall 2006. The original plan was to go kayaking down the Colorado River just downstream from the Hoover Dam. A massive storm came in that weekend and completely washed out the road that we were going to be picked up on, leaving the entire weekend up in the air. We were already in Boulder City, Nevada, just outside of Las Vegas, so I opted to make a road trip out of it. Only one other friend was willing to come along and so he and my girlfriend at the time wound up hitting Bryce Canyon National Park, the North Rim of Grand Canyon National Park and of course Zion National Park before heading back home to Phoenix, Arizona.

Broad-Tailed Hummingbird in Hannagan Meadow, Arizona
Hannagan Meadow in Eastern Arizona is the only sign of civilization you'll find for dozens of miles along Highway 191. The highway climbs to more than 9,000 feet elevation keeping the area cool in the summer months making the area a nice getaway from the desert heat. At the lodge are a number of bird feeders where a rather large number of hummingbirds come to feed creating a consistent, loud hum on the porch of the lodge.

Night Sky Over the Teton Mountains Panorama
One thing I was really wanting to do during the shorter days of the winter was to get some great night shots with the landscape covered in snow. Well winter came and went and now that the nights are (relatively) a bit more comfortable, the snow's pretty much gone and spring is in full swing. Nevertheless, that didn't stop me from heading out at 10:30pm once it was nearly completely dark to start seeing what would work and what wouldn't for some night shots. My first attempt was near Moose, Wyoming in Grand Teton National Park and I wound up getting this panorama facing west. One thing I learned was that even at 10:45pm, the sky is still not completely dark when facing west in mid-late May. Also the bit of light pollution coming from the left on the other side of the Tetons are the towns of Victor and Driggs in Idaho.

Virgin River Gorge in Northwestern Arizona
This was taken all the way back in 2004. I hadn't even had a camera for six months, but it was images like these that occasionally popped up that kept me yearning to understand how to make an image like this consistently. It was taken in the Virgin River Gorge along a 30 mile stretch of I-15 that passes through the northwest corner of Arizona between southern Nevada and southwestern Utah. A friend and I were on a three-week road trip that brought us from East Texas all the way up to Sitka, Alaska, both of us seeing everything west of Central Texas for the first time. Shortly after returning from that trip, I had no desire to live anywhere east of New Mexico and that still holds true today, as does my enjoyment from talking about that trip.

Sunset Over Cholla Cacti in Phoenix, Arizona
Sunset lights up the sky above cholla cacti in the Phoenix Mountains Park and Preserve in Phoenix, Arizona.
I've been digging back through my archives in between going out and finding more wildlife and have come across quite a few from my time in Arizona that I never got around to processing for one reason or another. This one in particular is from the Peak 2429 hike in the Phoenix Mountains Park and Preserve in Phoenix, Arizona. I used to live within a mile of one of the park entrances so I would do that hike frequently to keep in shape and get above the city for a little while. Naturally cholla cacti, along with many other forms of cactus, were all over the place.

Caribou in Denali National Park, Alaska
This is one from the archives. Back in 2006 I went up to Alaska and one of the stops, naturally, was Denali National Park. Along the bus ride into the park some friends and I saw this caribou running off the road and into the bushes. It's definitely a place I'm hoping to get back to in the near future.

History is made and defined by landmark events - moments that irrevocably changed the course of human civilization. They have given us
Now a series of 36 captivating lectures explores some of the most important and definitive events in the history of the world - events after which our world would never be the same.
Taught by a remarkably gifted teacher with more than 25 teaching awards to his credit, these lectures form an intriguing and engaging tour of thousands of years of human history, from the creation of the Code of Hammurabi to the Battle of Lexington to Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s "I Have a Dream" speech and beyond. It's a chance for you to gain new insights about world history from a truly riveting historian.
Using his expert knowledge and impressive ability to draw out invaluable lessons from the past, Professor Fears has chosen the events he discusses based on three criteria: how the event in itself fundamentally changed history, how the aftermath of the event changed history, and how the event and its impact still resonate with us today.
The result is a comprehensive and authoritative selection of subjects, each of which played a crucial role in transforming human civilization. Whether the event is an obvious or not-so-obvious choice, Professor Fears takes great care to tie each to the 21st century, pointing out just how influential these and other moments were in shaping who we are and how we live.

"Fun course but Professor Fears is not for everyone"
Storytime with Grandpa
I LOVE The Great Courses, but this was the first course I've listened to from the late Rufus Fears, and he is definitely not for everybody.
If you are on the fence, check out The Great Courses podcast in which Professor Fears was recently featured. It will give you a sense of what he's like (of course, you can also just take the plunge and check out the course, because of the Audible/Great Courses terrific satisfaction guarantee).
This was my first course with Rufus Fears. I know a lot of Great Courses fans and most of them LOVE Rufus Fears. Visit The Great Courses Facebook page and the fans there just can't get enough Rufus Fears. Why is this so? As far as I can tell, it's all about style. In the recent podcast I learned that Professor Fears was one of the only Great Courses professors to lecture without scripts or notes. That makes sense, because listening to Rufus Fears is like listening to your grandpa tell stories. He is first and foremost a storyteller.
Don't get me wrong. His courses are fact filled, educational, and definitely entertaining, but the criticisms in some of the other reviews are also accurate. His approach to history is to embellish. For example, he recounts events of 3000 years ago by imagining conversations between the key players of the time. Fun, yes. Illustrative, yes. Accurate historically? Obviously not.
And then there are his opinions. His worldview is distinctly Christian and distinctly American (and a flag waving American at that). So it should be no surprise that Fears' list of events that changed history is heavily weighted towards western civilization, and particularly towards 20th century America. If that sort of thing bothers you, you will be bothered.
I recommend checking out one of his courses, because if you like Fears, the good news is that he has a large library of interesting courses that will keep your Wish List busy for months. But if all this makes you pause, then I recommend starting with a different one of The Great Courses. If you like history, there are many great ones. The two they have on Foundations of Western Civilization are outstanding.
P.S. - He is a slow speaker. I recommend using the speed controls on the app to go faster.
"He makes history fun to read (listen to)"
This is the second of the Great Courses I have read which is done by Professor Fears, and I have thoroughly enjoyed both of them. He has a very lively and at times humorous way of telling his stories which is very easy to listen to. Also, he goes into detail enough about background and culture so that we can really understand why these stories matter to us today.
He covers a really large variety of topics, too. There are political events like Caesar crossing the Rubicon or the Athenians driving off the Persians or the ascension to power of Adolf Hitler. There are religious events like the life of Buddha or Jesus. There are scientific or medical events like the lives of Hippocrates, Pasteur or Darwin. There were a few events I had never heard of, but there were many more events I had heard of but didn't know much about. He brought these events into sharp focus and helped me understand that my life today would be very different than what it is if this or that event had not taken place.
Many of the events in the early part of the course were religious in nature--because, I suppose, religion was such an integral part of the lives of ancient peoples. I am not a believer in any religion, but I can see that these events were still very important in shaping our world into what it is today, so they needed to be included in this course.
Bottom line: I really enjoyed this, and I recommend it to you.
"Not for well-read history buff"
This would not be a bad series for a person who thinks they might like history and the subject of events that changed history, but if you are a fairly well-read history buff, you will already know most of the events and details provided.
Perhaps found less known events that made a difference or else, provided unknown details or connections in the ones provided.
About average for a lecturer. I don't expect class lecturers to be greatly dynamic. It is nice if they are, but as long as I can understand them and they provide good information, I don't care.
"Entertaining but flawed"
This is an entertaining but flawed series of lectures. They are marred by an indiscriminate blending of fact, myth, and speculation with no clear distinctions being made among them. Prof. Fears's treatment of religious history is distorted by an obvious conservative Protestant Christian bias. I prefer my history to be factual and presented in an evenhanded manner. I see that Prof. Fears has other lectures in the Great Courses series. I do not plan to get any of them.
"Not an academic history text"
If it the author took a neutral stance on Christianity and the Bible.
Focus just on history, and cut out Christian dogma.
Cut out the Christian dogma (see chapter 2, for example). The author loses credibility in chapter 2 and his enthusiasm is misplaced.
Chapter 1 was quite promising.
This book should come with a disclaimer and perhaps not be labelled as a history book.
"Prof. Fears should be required listening."
As usual, he delivers.
Yes I wish.
I wish all teachers I've had shared his zeal for teaching.
"Entertaining, but underwhelming"
I recognize the challenging scope of the project, but felt the final product did not measure up to my expectations. I was unimpressed by the amount of speculation and opinion presented as facts.
No, but I will more carefully screen the reader comments prior to listening.
Disappointment. Though he was enthusiastic, I found Professor Fear to be more of a storyteller than a historian.
I had listened to one other book from The Great Courses: "World War II: A Military and Social History." In comparison to Professor Childers, I found Professor Fears sadly lacking. Frankly, I expected better from The Great Courses.
Indy Tar Heel
"Excellent and insightful"
The professor was engaging, dynamic and made interesting points. He described the downline implications well and plausibly as well as situating the occurrences among the contemporary history.
What if? just because it describes pivotal moments in history that had far reaching impact.
No, but I would listen to him in a heartbeat.
Haven't seem the print version.
The speaker was very knowledgeable. Did not get stuck on any one era, except too much emphasis on modern America. Disagree with some of his choices, Michelangelo can not have the same impact on history that the invention of: railroads, steam engines, corporations, radio, television, or the internet.
Very passionate.
"Decent but forgettable"
This course is not a write-off, but I find it hard to recommend to anyone. My instinct is to say if you are looking for a decent primer on major historical events, with an eye towards delving more deeply into the topics that interest you afterwards, you should pick this up. However, I can't bring myself to doing that.
For my liking, the courses are much too heavily influenced by the lecturer's Christianity and, to a lesser extent, his American patriotism.
Another issue for me was that I simply disagreed with much of what he had to say about certain topics. When covering areas where I am fairly well versed, such as ancient Egypt, Greece and Rome, I did not agree with his interpretation or presentation of the facts.
This is not to say that he is completely wrong. He obviously knows his stuff and is never flat-out wrong about the facts, but I just didn't care for his approach all that much. I'd recommend listening to the lectures on Jesus and Constantine, which are some of the most arguably controversial. If his treatment of those topics don't bother you, you might enjoy the whole course.
"Excellent Start"
This course had a great start, he covered a wide range of topics and covered a wide range of countries. The only problem I found with this lecturer was when he started talking about the U.S. He is very patriotic and this comes across clearly in his lectures, particularly when he started talking about events that mainly just affected America whilst claiming it changed the entire world, as in his words "the U.S.A. is the defender of all that is good in the world".

Vacuum Filters
Who does not love a clean house free from grime and dust? Vacuum cleaner filters are the essential parts of the vacuum cleaner that keep the dirt sucked up by the cleaner in the machine. It helps kill the germs and contaminants that are trapped within. They are positioned such that they can trap the dust mites and pollutants before it reaches the motor and the exhaust. There are various kinds of filters available including the ultra fine air filter and some vacuum cleaning systems even use water as a filter. Water filtration helps trap wet dust that is not airborne. Having a fully functional vacuum filter is critical to maintain the suction and dirt handling ability of the vacuum cleaner. You are not just saving yourself from the harmful effects of these dust particles but also saving the critical parts of the vacuum cleaning system from failure. We recommend you change vacuum filters regularly, once in six months atleast.
Want to find a filter for your vacuum cleaning system? At GoVacuum, we have a full range of filters including motor filters and HEPA filters. The vacuum cleaner is a formidable cleaning tool today and the combination of its cleaning capacity and ease of use are major factors that influence the buying decision.

[WARNING: The following story contains major spoilers from the Season 4 finale of ABC's Castle. Read at your own risk.]Are you still with us Castle fans?After four seasons of will-they-won't-they romantic tension, the ABC drama's Season 4 finale seemingly brought mystery writer Rick Castle (Nathan Fillion) together with his muse, Detective Kate Beckett (Stana Katic). But getting there was no easy task.
Castle boss on the finale: "Everything comes out"
Finale Preview: Get scoop on 39 must-watch season-endersSo, you finally put Castle and Beckett together. Why was now the time?Andrew W. Marlowe: Ultimately, you get to a fork in the road. If we kept them apart any longer, say another season — after what Castle had put on the table at the end of last season — in my mind, that would have been the death of the series. Then, we would have just been being artificial. They would have become brother and sister, and then we're just ignoring everything that had happened. There comes a point where you have to confront it. ... We wanted to get the point where we resolved it and made a promise for next season that these two are going to have to be dealing with their feelings for one another.Of course, we didn't see whatever was about to happen in that bedroom. Are you planning to pull a fast one next season?Marlowe: I have no intention of pulling the rug out from the audience. I think that when that scene ends, everybody is clear on what's about to happen. We don't need to see it, but we know it's going to happen.So to be clear, there won't be an urgent phone call that Castle's mom has been in an accident or something like that?Marlowe: No. I think we need to get to the other side of the storytelling. I think we've played the interruptions as much as we possibly can. And I think we're really interested to see what's going to happen with these two. What does that relationship look like? This is going to allow us to re-embrace some of the fun, because relationships are tricky things and they don't always go the way you want them to.
Castle boss: Castle and Beckett's secrets are a "ticking bomb"Are you saying this season didn't have as much "fun" as you would like?Marlowe: Yeah a little bit. We had a lot of fun this season, but Castle and Beckett were each keeping secrets from one another and weren't dealing with each other completely honestly. I think some of the angst of this season — we paid for some of that with some element of fun. That by no means is me saying the fun left the show, but we had to spend a little bit of that capital in a different place. Getting to the other side of this allows us to bring ... [back] the back-and-forth between them and the physical comedy. It allows us to recommit to the fundamental values of what the show is.So you want to see them in a more playful place with one another?Marlowe: [Seeing them] figuring out their rhythms with one another is going to be fun for the audience to watch. In no way do we think this is going to end the fun and the tension between Castle and Beckett because the question is now going to become: Where does this relationship go and how does it affect their ability to work together?Would you call them a couple at this point or is it not that defined?Marlowe: I think those are all the questions the characters are going to be asking themselves, and that's going to be part of the fun. When they wake up the next morning, are both of them still in the same place? And Beckett's actually resigned from the force. So, what is she going to do with her life now? There's all sorts of stuff to jump into next season.Why does Beckett resign in that moment?Marlowe: It's a reflection on what she's been doing with her life and how she's defined herself. This echoes back to a conversation she had with her therapist in "Kill Shot" where she says, "I want to move past this." [Does] letting go of her mother's murder allow her to choose something else in life, where she's not as driven to be a cop? Or will things happen that will force her to recommit to it?
Vote for Castle and Beckett as your Favorite TV Crimefighters!
You mean like the fact that Cole Maddox is still vowing to put her in the ground for good? Will that bring her back to the force perhaps?Marlowe: We'll hopefully make it more interesting than that. That's a little conventional. There's going to be some of that, but we're also talking about some other things that are really interesting to us. ... But yes, unbeknownst to Beckett, her life is still very much in danger, and that's something we're going to be picking up the thread on when we come back next season.Have you already planned the resolution of that cliff-hanger?Marlowe: Yeah, we have. I don't want to go into in too much detail because we still have some moving pieces on the board on that one, and I'm not going to commit myself to anything one way or another. But it is something we plan to pick up on when we get back, but it's not somewhere we're looking for the series to dwell. We're looking to get Beckett beyond some of that stuff to the point where she can rediscover who she is and [she and Castle] can deal with this decision they have made.Gates was able to bring her claws out again. Will that continue?Marlowe: Inevitably, we have to see more of that side. Beckett and Esposito [Jon Huertas] have crossed a line. So, what does that mean for them as cops? Gates [Penny Johnson Jerald] ends up being much more of a significant obstacle in the first couple of episodes next season.And Esposito doesn't look too pleased with Ryan (Seamus Dever)...Marlowe: [With] Beckett and Castle getting together, we felt it was time to challenge some of the other relationships so we'd have somewhere to go with the storytelling. Ryan has to make a choice that ends up with Esposito feeling like he's been betrayed. The two of them are definitely on the outs.For all the 'shippers this finale will make happy, we're sure there are some who fear this development will hurt the show. What's your message to that group of fans?Marlowe: Just because these characters have decided to take the next step in the relationship, it doesn't make the relationship that much different. This is just a natural progression in a much longer story about these two characters. When two people have traits that are fundamentally challenging to the other, the comedy doesn't go away. [We] have to deliver great fun shows where the characters are challenged in the relationship the same way they were before they slept together.
Check out photos of the Castle castSo it's safe to assume the relationship won't be completely smooth sailing?Marlowe: We do put the relationship under threat right away with Maddox's threat at the end of the episode. [Beyond that,] I have a good ballpark sense of where we're going. And I'm not going to advertise it too much because that's the fun of the ride. You don't want to show everybody exactly what the rises and falls of the roller coaster are when they get on it. You want them to be surprised at the twists and turns. Sleeping together is a great hallmark, but to get to the promised land of a happy ending, there's a long way for these guys to go.Have you heard for sure that the show has been renewed?Marlowe: No official word. [ABC is] very supportive of us, but ultimately I don't want to tempt the TV gods. Fingers crossed we'll hear good news soon. ... It would surprise me if we didn't come back, but that being said, I'm sure people have been surprised before.So, when's the wedding?Marlowe: [Laughs] Maybe in Season 8 if we're lucky?What did you think of the Castle finale?

The Outer Banks Wedding Association and Dare County Arts Council invite their collective membership to participate in a photography exhibit to coincide with the 2013 Outer Banks Wedding Weekend.
The exhibit, Stolen Moments: Highlighting and Honoring the Creativity and Artistry of Outer Banks Photographers, will be on display at the Dare County Arts Council Gallery Jan.14 to Jan. 29.
"We hope this is the first of many collaborations between OBWA and DCAC," said Outer Banks Wedding Association President Kate Pullen.
To kick off the Wedding Weekend, there will be a gallery reception Friday, Jan. 18 at 6 p.m.
"Photographers are encouraged to submit images that show their creative side: that unguarded moment; a sunset that didn't make it into the wedding album, the cutting-edge shot that only emerged while the bride and groom weren't posing," said Dare Council Arts Council Gallery Director Fay Davis Edwards.
The exhibit is open to all artists who are members of Dare County Arts Council or the Outer Banks Wedding Association and are 18 years of age or older.
"I cannot fully express my excitement when I envision the possibilities that can be achieved when the Arts Council works on projects with complementary organizations, such as OBWA. I am a member of both groups and am excited to see the progressive movement toward promoting both traditional and nontraditional arts in our community," said photographer and Arts Council board member Mary Basnight.
Selected photographers will be notified by Friday Jan. 4, 2013.
For more information about the exhibit call (252) 473-5558 or visit, www. darearts.org.

This cache is part of our Marshall County cemetery series. This probably isn't winter-friendly. Muggles shouldn't be a problem. The cemetery is located to the S of the cache site across the field. You could probably access this if you wish, but you would be crossing private property to get to it. It is a nice site to admire from the road. Watch your footing while searching for this cache.
Ballard Cemetery is found in Section 36 of Iowa Township, Marshall County, Iowa. This cemetery is abandoned and almost completely destroyed. Also known as Arney Cemetery, Dent Cemetery, Dawson Cemetery and Poling Cemetery.
This is the oldest cemetery in Marshall County. The original owner was Sheldon Gaer, and now owned by Mike and Shelly Walton. The Original cemetery plat was down by the North road (155th Street) and was moved to the Center of the field. Deed does not show date when moved. This cemetery was so hidden with growth as to cover all traces of the cemetery and many stones were broken, missing & buried under the dirt. The cemetery has now been restored; stones repaired, buried ones have been dug up, cleaned and placed with the other stones. It stands proudly like it should for these pioneer folks. Some stones are missing as people took the stones several years ago before the present owner bought the property.
The first burial was John Ballard. The last burial was that of James Hamblin on 29 Nov 1897.

Ornament Keeper 4 4
Quality is better than expected! When I read that the dividers were cardboard I almost didn't order this item. The carboard is very dense and hard, and with the cloth overlay offers protection for your glass ornaments. It even holds the very large ornaments, even though it says 4" ornaments. February 1, 2012
perfect for my needs Arrived quickly. It was relatively easy to assemble and much sturdier than I expected. Fits standard size ornaments well, but some of the odd shapes may need a different container. Overall happy with this purchase. February 9, 2012
Beau-ti-ful! Love it! This was the finishing touch I have been looking for. It adds color & dimension to our tree! I knew what I was looking for & had a very hard time finding it. Thannks Grandin Road! November 23, 2012
nice once put together This is good quality. Problem is it is very difficult to put together. It comes flat and you must figure out the linings and the indents for the ornaments. January 25, 2012

« Miguel Plays 'F, Marry, Kill' with Nicki Minaj, Kelly Rowland, & Jhené Aiko
New Music: Lupe Fiasco – 'THOT 97' »
Video: Big Sean f/ Miguel – 'Ashley'
Before there was Naya Rivera, there was Ashley. Big Sean raps about his ex-girlfriend in the cinematic video for his third Hall of Fame single featuring Miguel. The G.O.O.D. Music MC wrote the emotional song about his high school sweetheart before they split up in early 2013.
In the graphic clip, Sean's ex plots to kidnap and kill him. After being violently attacked in his garage, he is tied up and taken to a motel as his topless ex and her new man make out in front of him.
Eventually he escapes his captor by beating her with a baseball bat, but he is caught again and taken to the desert, where he is forced to dig a ditch. We see him fight back and hear a gun shot before it goes black.
Witness the tragic end to his twisted love story.

This bilingual blog - 'आन्याची फाटकी पासोडी' in Marathi- is largely a celebration of visual and/or comic ...तुकाराम: "ढेकणासी बाज गड,उतरचढ केवढी" (Tukaram: For a bedbug a bed is like a castle. so much climbing up and down!)... George Santayana: " Everything in nature is lyrical in its ideal essence, tragic in its fate, and comic in its existence"...William Hazlitt: "Pictures are scattered like stray gifts through the world; and while they remain, earth has yet a little gilding."
G C Lichtenberg: "It is as if our languages were confounded: when we want a thought, they bring us a word; when we ask for a word, they give us a dash; and when we expect a dash, there comes a piece of bawdy."
W H Auden: "But in my arms till break of day / Let the living creature lie. / Mortal, guilty, but to me/ The entirely beautiful."
Will Self: "To attempt to write seriously is always, I feel, to fail – the disjunction between my beautifully sonorous, accurate and painfully affecting mental content, and the leaden, halting sentences on the page always seems a dreadful falling short. It is this failure – a ceaseless threnody keening through the writing mind – that dominates my working life, just as an overweening sense of not having loved with enough depth or recklessness or tenderness dominates my personal one."
John Gray: "Unlike Schopenhauer, who lamented the human lot, Leopardi believed that the best response to life is laughter. What fascinated Schopenhauer, along with many later writers, was Leopardi's insistence that illusion is necessary to human happiness."
Art Spiegelman: "You know words in a way are hitting you on the left side of your brain, music and visual arts hit on the right side of the brain, so the idea is to pummel you, to send you from left brain to right brain and back until you're as unbalanced as I am."
विलास सारंग: "संदर्भ कुठलेही असोत, संस्कृत, इंग्रजी, बुद्धिवादी, तांत्रिक, इतिहासाचे, खगोलशास्त्राचे, आधुनिक पदार्थविज्ञानाचे, शिवकालीन व पेशवाईतील बखरीचे, अगणित ज्ञानक्षेत्रांचे, अशा वैविध्यपूर्ण ज्ञानावर लेखन- विशेषत: कवितालेखन- उभं राहत."

In the Room the Women Come And Go, Talking of Dev Anand
I owe a lot to Dev Anand, for the amount of pleasure his films have given, especially through their music. Therefore, I was looking forward to his book that I knew was in the pipeline for some time now.
I have still not read the book but have read excerpts in "India Today" issue dated October 1, 2007.
Iconic poet T S Eliot wrote these unforgettable lines: "In the room the women come and go, Talking of Michelangelo." (The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock).
LOUIS MENAND writing for The New Yorker (issue 30 September 2002) said: " T. S. Eliot's sex life. Do we really want to go there? It is a sad and desolate place… ".
Dev Anand's sex life has not been "a sad and desolate" place as he seems to have bedded many white and brown women-although we must hear from the girls to confirm this- but what about his love life?
It's not a pretty picture.
Read this:
"Zeenat and I started being linked with each other in the magazines and newspapers that people hungry for gossip love to read. Whenever and wherever she was talked about glowingly, I loved it; and whenever and wherever I was discussed in the same vein, she was jubilant. In the subconscious, we had become emotionally attached to each other. After the premiere of Ishq Ishq Ishq at Metro cinema, Raj Kapoor kissed Zeenat in full view of the invited audience, congratulating her for her sparkling performance in the film. That must have made her evening all the more sparkling. Yet, I was jealous of him for making advances on what I considered my sole possession, my discovery, my leading lady, and desiring her with a kiss.
I felt I was desperately in love with Zeenat—and wanted to say so to her! To make an honest confession, at a very special, exclusive place meant for romance. I called her up to say, 'Zeenie, I want to go out on a date with you tonight.' 'But aren't we already going together to a party tonight?' she asked me. 'Let's just go there only for a brief while, say Hi to the gathering, and then quickly disappear!' Together we went to the party. It was on in full force. The first person who greeted Zeenat from a distance was a drunken Raj Kapoor, with a gallant drawl, 'There she is!' He threw his arms around her exuberantly. This suddenly struck me as a little too familiar. And the way she reciprocated his embrace seemed much more than just polite and courteous. My heart broke into pieces, I wanted to leave the party at once and go off somewhere alone, to be just by myself, so that I could swallow the humiliation thrust on my ego."
This is petty. This is not romantic..."And the way she reciprocated his embrace seemed much more than just polite and courteous. "
Oh, thanks for not describing how hard her sumptuous breasts were pressing against Raj Kapoor's chest! (Poor Raj Kapoor, this has been a bad month for him. First it was Vaijayantimala denying any thing more than 'Sangam' publicity between him and her and now this......Dost Dost Na Raha!)
I didn't expect this from Dev Anand, some one from whom a generation or two of India learnt to love and romance.
To be honest, I always felt Dev Anand's acting in colour era of Hindi films- starting with Guide- was only an act of seduction, conquest of a girl, done with a style and good music.
Reading Dev Anand reminded me of PAUL THEROUX's review (NYT October 17, 2004) of Graham Greene's biography:
"...GREENE was a restless traveler, a committed writer, a terrible husband, an appalling father and an admitted manic-depressive; he was relentlessly sexual, ardently priapic. ''I think his sexual appetites are voracious, frightening,'' one of his close friends remarked, though the man was English and so the word ''frightening'' must be taken with a grain of salt. But certainly Greene was a tireless sensualist. Like many other sexually obsessed men he tended to be noncommittal, evasive, given to unexplained vanishings and sentimental utterances, but forever feverishly on the prowl. He often complained of writer's block, but where women were concerned he was hypergraphic. He had the lecher's bouts of romanticism and fits of fantasy; these he set down on paper…
… Greene was not a Casanova, not vain in his conquests, not a scorekeeper (though he kept a detailed list of his 47 favorite prostitutes -- given here in an appendix). Greene was insecure, needy, insatiable, interested in variation and always willing to have a go. He preferred his women to be waiflike, boyish, petite -- he himself was well over six feet tall. The women in his novels tend to match that description, but of course they are based on women he had loved…"
I remember watching Dev Anand's interview on "Rendezvous with Simi Garewal". I was moved by his hurt on the death of his mother before he came to Bombay. I now think he never got over his loss. He still misses his mother. He never found the real love.
In his later life, did he mistake sex for love?
Freud has said: ""He who knows his mother's love and is secure in that knowledge will never know failure."
