Remember we used to do it in the past and it was a lot of fun.
What do you plan to cook for Thanksgiving this year? Let's share our favorite simple recipes. Somebody posted a cranberry souce recipe here several years ago, I liked it a lot and do it now every year, it is so simple and refreshing. Many thanks to the person who posted it. One bag of cranberries One whole orange with peel cut in quarters 2/3 cup or less sugar (depends on your taste) 1 cup of wallnut pieces. Put sugar and orange in food processer and make a coarse mix, add cranberries and pulse couple more times. Add wallnuts. You can serve it right away, but it is much better if you put souce into fridge o/n. No cooking, very fresh and kids love it. Olga |

Olga----I also made the cranberry relish---it was delicious and refreshing. Florence |
I'm doing appetizers and desserts this year again. Salmon spread and crackers, pico de gallo and chips. Pies: two pumpkin, one blackberry, one pecan (new request from my nephews wife and I'm going to use Dear Abbeys recipe that I haven't made for years) and my nephews fav apple cream. Apple Cream Pie 1/2 C sugar Stir these first 5 ingred together in a bowl. Drizzle 3 to 3 1/2 #s tart apples like Granny Smith (peeled, cored, and cut into 3/4" wedges) with 2 tsp freshly squeezed lemon juice. Toss the apples with the sugar/flour mix. Prepare a 9"/10" pie pan with your favorite crust recipe, leaving 1" overhang at edge. Mound the apples into the unbaked crust, finish with a lattice or cutout top and fold the overhang back up over edges. If it looks a little rustic, that's fine. Bake 15 min 425F. Reduce heat to 375F and bake 45-50 min more. Now the cream part - Pour 1/2 C heavy whipping cream into the openings you so conveniently left in the crust lattice top :) Bake 10 or so more minutes until cream is bubbling and crust is golden. |

OOOOOOOOOOOOOO that apple cream pie sounds wonderful-- - Just thought I would share what I do with the two turkeys--My kids both like leftovers. Wed----- cook first turkey---- make the gravy which is much easier than trying to make it on Thurs. with all the folks coming in--- Then Bob helps me divide the turkey --of course stuffing ourselves in the process---LOL That turkey is then wrapped for the kids to take home. Then on Thurs. we cook the second turkey to be enjoyed for dinner I use the turkey bags which help a lot--- Just thought I would share this little tip which has worked out very well for us. On Tues and Wed I also make the other extras and side dishes- Beryl,(DIL ) Robyn,(DD) Amy (niece) and Virginia (neighbor)are making all the rest---- which is a big help--- Have a great day everyone and enjoy your family- Florence |
Florence, I can tell you Maureen's pie is good, I've made it. The cranberry relish is so delicious and refreshing. I'm doing a new bacon with brussel sprouts, spanish onion, and garlic. Might try a new recipe for frozen fruit salad from Linda. I hope everyone has a blessed Thanksgiving. Thank you for starting this Olga. Carla |

JUst finished washing my hair---We have everything done that we planned for today. These things are ready Mince Pie Lime Jello Mold Layered salad Stuffing is ready and one turkey all cooked and divided for kids to take home lots of good gravy tomorrow we just have to cook the second turkey and wait for the rest of the food to arrive. Hope to have a relaxing day. Robyn is suffering with a Migraine but Eric will be driving and she has her pie finished. My son Bobby says this is his favorite Holiday---lots of good food and relaxing time with the family. Love to all,-Florence |
I like the fresh cranberry relish also. My mom's variation included candied ginger and slivered almonds instead of walnuts. Most members of my family cooked a dish for Thanksgiving. My husband made a crusty French bread, daughter made pecan pie, my son the chef did a variation of our usual sweet potato casserole. We were all a little tired of that though it's good..the one with a praline sort of topping. My son changed it with some ingredients I didn't think would work..he put pumpkin pie spices in the topping but also some chocolate chips, oats, and cayenne pepper! It worked! I'm going to make some gumbo with the turkey carcasse tomorrow. I like it with sausage, turkey, shrimp and some okra. |
Just made tomato and rice soup with turkey carcasse. Everybody liked it, me too:) Olga |

This is the second year my family has demanded Rachael Ray's recipe for "Turkey Stoup" as a way to use the turkey leftovers. ("Stoup" because it is a cross between soup and stew.) I whipped it up on Saturday; it is quick and yummy - and very filling with cheese ravioli in it. The recipe claims to serve 4, but after I set aside a 'carryout' bowl-full for my absent DIL (she had to work the weekend) the five of us enjoyed a hearty meal so I'd say plan on servings for about 6. Good stuff! |
Here is a link that might be useful: Turkey Stoup recipe
We need to modify our Christmas dinner, and try to start new traditions. Too many of us must lose weight, and the traditional dinner with left overs just won't work. Olga, you grind up the peel with the oranges? Also do you cook the cranberries first? I have never made cranberry sauce or salad, I just open the jar. I wanted to try it this year and your recipe sounds good. Sammy |
I just re-read my post, and realized that it sounded like I was preaching to everyone. It is my family. My husband and I especially need to watch our weight, and my daughter has recently been given some medications that caused her to have problems with her weight. That is why I am looking for new traditions. Too many of us refers to too many in my family, not all of you. Sometimes even if I read over what I have written, I see it in my present perspective, and do not realize how others could see it. By the way, I would like to find some interesting ways to prepare sweet potatoes too. Sammy |
Sammy, no cooking involved. Just fresh cranberries and unpeeled orange. Olga |
Sammy, No offense taken though I need to lose weight. The holiday eating has felt compulsive to me this year..I just felt like I had to cook all that stuff for Thanksgiving, and then I had to have lots of festive food for Christmas, and since I was going to do all that eating anyway I didn't see much point in watching it in between holidays. So truly..for me the traditional eating and cooking puts on the pounds. Seems like on the years when I don't cook traditional food I do better on not overeating. Last Christmas I cooked jambalaya, one year I cooked a Chinese thanksgiving, and today I'm just making chicken and dumplings. Sometimes I feel railroaded by tradition and it just helps me feel in control of my eating to do it more my way. |

All the padding in the world won't do you any good if you can't see who's trying to hit you, so PunchTown engineered a face opening that allows clear sight and peripheral vision. The ear holes are equally well done; padded and snug without messing with your hearing.
Comfort is not only a balance of materials and fit, but how the two factors perform. And headgear performance is impacted by its breathability and air circulation. The Tenebrae is well-ventilated, allowing you to stay cooler and your headgear to stay in place.
Easily fastened by adjustable top and rear straps.
This looks much nicer than my Armor fit one, I wasn't a fan of that.

The dress itself is lovely, but the pea-green hue does very little to contrast with her skin-tone. Up close, you can see that there are studs placed on the lace to "new it up," but, from afar, it isn't very exciting. The dress flaunted just a bit of edginess with its side cutouts. If the objective was to wow the crowd beyond any doubt, she misses this goal.

Commemorate the International Day of Peace by Viewing Kenro Izu: Sacred Places at Detroit Institute of Arts
Wednesday, September 03, 2008
Celebrate the International Day of Peace by viewing worldwide sites of worship in the exhibition Kenro Izu: Sacred Places.
Kenro Izu: Sacred Places features more than 50 of Izu's black-and-white photographs of ancient temples in Angkor, Cambodia, Buddhist and Hindu sites in India, Burma, Indonesia, Thailand and China, among others. The Japanese photographer is a practicing Buddhist.
Sunday, September 21, 10 a.m.–6 p.m.
The Detroit Institute of Arts, located at 5200 Woodward Avenue, Detroit
Free with museum admission.
The International Day of Peace, established by the United Nations in 1981, calls for a full day of peace and ceasefire throughout the world.
The exhibition is a fitting place to contemplate the ideals behind the International Day of Peace, as the sacred places Izu has photographed are places of peace and nonviolence.
Hours and admission:
10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Wednesdays and Thursdays, 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. Fridays, and 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Saturdays and Sundays. Admission is $8 for adults, $6 for senior citizens, and $4 for youth ages 6-17. DIA members are admitted free. For more information, call (313) 833-7900 or see the website at www.dia.org.
Located in the heart of Detroit's Cultural Center, the Detroit Institute of Arts was founded in 1885 and is recognized as one of the country's premier art museums. The museum's approximately 60,000 works of art comprise a multicultural survey of human creativity from prehistory through the 21st century. From the first van Gogh to enter a U.S. museum (Self-Portrait, 1887), to Diego Rivera's world-renowned Detroit Industry murals, the DIA's collection reveals the scope and depth of human experience, imagination, and emotion.
Programs are made possible with support from the Michigan Council for Arts and Cultural Affairs and the City of Detroit.

Wash the potatoes and put them to boil in boiling water for about 40 minutes. When the potatoes are cooked, drain, spellatele and let them cool.
Meanwhile, melt the butter in hot milk, let stiepidire and let us also dissolve the yeast, then incorporated a couple of tablespoons of flour and let rise for at least an hour the mixture.
When the dough is leavened add it to mashed potatoes along with 70 g zucchero, eggs, grated lemon zest, a pinch of salt. Let the dough rise for at least two hours, then divide the dough in order to achieve a bit of snakes' thick rolled up on themselves.
Heat the oil and fry for about torcinelli 5 minutes, then let drain on absorbent paper towels and sprinkle with sugar and cinnamon.
The roulade can be enriched with the raisins. If you prefer the lemon peel can be replaced with the grated orange peel.
A typical sweet potatoes prepared with Abruzzo, soft consistency, typical especially at Christmas time. I torcinelli, in dialect turcinill ',take their name from their shape close, long and twisted to form; seems to have originated in the province of Pescara. In Abruzzo, the name "roulade" indicates not only this type of sweet, It may also be a type of fresh pasta as well as a dish made with offal similar to mozzarella (this type of torcinelli is prepared also in Molise).

Google Inc. has launched its first mobile phone, which it will sell directly through an online store. Up until now, the company has relied on other phone makers to market its Android software. Called Nexus One, the smartphone is based on the Android software and features a Qualcomm Snapdragon 3G QSD8250 chipset, reportedly delivering speeds up to 1 GHz. Consumers in the U.S., UK, Singapore, and Hong Kong can initially buy the phone from a Google web store one of two ways: without service (meaning any GSM network SIM card can be inserted into the device), or with service from one of Google's operator partners. Google believes that as more phones are sold using this type of retail channel, consumers will benefit more since they will have the ability to match a phone of their choice with a service plan that meets their needs. Operator prices and plan details will be featured on the online store. In the near future, the company says Verizon Wireless in the U.S. and Vodafone in Europe plan to offer services to customers in their respective geographies. Google also expects to launch more phones with Android handset partners and to expand the web store to more countries.

Top 10 Songs of 1982
January 11th 2009 22:00
Close to the Edge
As we role into another week, we role into another year in the BTTE's Top Ten songs.
As usual, I tried to keep it varied and in no particular order...
Eye of the Tiger Survivor
It was nominated for an Oscar, won a Grammy and a stack of other awards and is one of the most popular songs in history. If you ever have to pump yourself up for a fight against a Detroit thug with crazy hair and a huge stash of neck chains this is the song to do it. It also has an absolute classic video (below), love the intro walk.
Africa Toto
Toto have some really cool songs, and some really uncool songs. This is a classic. A little heavy on the synth, but otherwise pretty sweet. The album won like five Grammies, but this song was also voted as having some of the worst lyrics ever, with: Sure as Kilimanjaro (a mountain) rises like Olympus (another mountain) above the Serengeti".
The Message Grandmaster Flash
Don't push me 'cuz I'm close to the edge. Long before rap and hip hop took over the airwaves, Grandmaster Flash laid down one of the most influential tracks of the last 30 years.
Live Wire Mötley Crüe
The first hairmetal album; years before hundreds more caught on and still one of the best. I remember I played this song to a friend for the first time in my car and he couldnt believe it was 20 years old, saying that it sounded so fresh. They never sounded so fresh again either.
If You Want My Love Cheap Trick
This band is always hit and miss this one being a near perfect hit. With its Beatlesque melodies and its...well, more Beatlesque harmonies, it has featured on movies and TV shows everywhere. Reminds me most of Dave Spades underrated film Joe Dirt, where this plays in the end.
Great Southern Land Icehouse
One of my favourite Australian songs ever. It might me a bit cheesy and un-subtle, but it just sums up the whole feeling of...well, the great southern land? Was released as a single years later in the U.S. when it was featured on the Young Einstein soundtrack! But thats for another post.
Tainted Love Soft Cell
This is one of the most covered songs in history, and was actually a cover itself, although unknown at the time. Living End did a cool B-Side version that was kicking around on Triple J back in 98.
I Love Rock 'n' Roll Joan Jett and the Blackhearts
My fiancé first heard this song blaring out of the speakers in her older sisters boyfriends HR. They were beyond cool.
Sexual Healing Marvin Gaye
When I first moved to Geelong, I went to a party here and knew basically no one. I remember standing there uncomfortable and bored out of my head thinking how stiff and lifeless these people were.
Thankfully, soon to be friend, DJP, took control of the stereo and slammed this song down. Miraculously, things started to loosen up immediately. Yeah baby. Theres a life lesson right there.
Down Under Men at Work
As Australiana started to peak, Men at Work took off with this huge hit and even landed themselves a Grammy for Best New Artist.
Lead singer Colin Hay was nice enough to give me free tickets to see him a few years ago great, great show. I have seen him again since.
He told us a story about being out in the desert in Arizona and stopping to get gas. The guy at the station thought he recognised him from somewhere and asked. Colin told him he was the guy who sang that song We come from the land down under, the guy looked him up and down and told him You are not Sting!
Other notable mentions:
Fleetwood Mac Gypsy, Ozzy Flying High Again , Iron Maiden Run to the Hills , KISS I Love it Loud, Bad Religion We're Only Gonna Die, Van Halen (Oh) Pretty Woman ,Tommy Tutone 867-5309/Jenny, Toto Rosanna , Toto I Won't Hold You Back, Huey Lewis & The News Do You Believe In Love , Clash Rock the Casbah, Journey Open Arms , Prince 1999, John Cougar Jack & Diane, Stray Cats Rock This Town, Judas Priest You've Got Another Thing Comin', Loverboy Working For The Weekend, Cold Chisel Forever Now, Goanna Solid Rock, Split Enz Six Months in a Leaky Boat, Foreigner Waiting For a Girl Like You, John Cougar Hurts So Good, The J. Geils Band Centerfold, Dexy's Midnight Runners Come On Eileen , Moving Pictures What About Me,Toni Basil Mickey, A Flock of Seagulls I Ran (So Far Away), Culture Club Do You Really Want to Hurt Me, Musical Youth Pass the Dutchie

Strategic Planning, Sport Education & Coach Development Expertise
Related content
As well as developing strategic partnerships UK Sport International works in a delivery, support or exchange capacity in order to enhance our work, the work undertaken by our partner organisations and other international sport and sport for development agencies. This element of our work is led by UK Sport's International Development Technical Team made up of UK Sport staff and highly experienced international consultants. This team has vast experience working across the sporting landscape in a range of international contexts.
UK Sport's Technical team supports the following key projects or partnership work:
International community Coach Education Standards (ICES)
The ICES project supports the development of frameworks, resources and tools that support the benchmarking, recognition and development of community coach education and development programmes. While context specific this project is being developed in response to a recognised need for the development of agreed standards against which community coach development can be benchmarked and recognised across organisations and countries. The ICES initiative is focused on developing a community of practice centred on the education of coaches in community and sport for development programmes.
International Development of Leadership and Excellence in Sport (IDEALS)
IDEALS aims to establish high quality and progressive projects for young people aged 20-35 from the UK and partner countries through working in partnership to develop multi-agency sports leadership initiatives. Primarily this is through partnerships between Higher Education Institutions and Non-Government Organisations with a goal of enhancing global understanding by investing in the leaders of tomorrow in the UK and in Africa; and to raise skills throughout the UK and Africa amongst sports development officers, sports administrators, sport specific coaches and volunteer sports leaders by giving them international experience which will enhance their ability to carry out their roles in multicultural settings;
Beckwith International Leadership Development (BILD)
Started in 2008, BILD aims to support the development of an infrastructure that will facilitate the creation of a training model and resources for sports leadership development in Africa (currently operating in Tanzania and Ghana). This will develop training capacity within each country and region and reduce the dependence upon input from overseas trainers.
BILD is managed in-country and is supported by key in-country stakeholders including the National Sports Council, the Ministry for Sport and Education who employ local staff. UK Sport support the development of the training programme and its curriculum, advising stakeholders on how BILD can progress as well as managing the funding grant from the TOP Foundation.
Sport Education and Accreditation System (SEAS)
SEAS is a project led by the Supreme Council of Sport in Africa Zone 6. The aim is to develop harmonised and standardised education and accreditation framework for sports practitioners in Zone VI. The Zone is working to establish a regional framework with common reference points, levels and required competencies for the training and accreditation of sport education in the region, and to establish a database of sport practitioners and training providers in order to enable practitioners to empower all sports participants to realize their full potential.
An example of the work conducted by the Technical Team includes:
- Support for the development of the Azerbaijan National Sport Strategy and the integration and support for sport for children and young people.
- Facilitating the development of strategic plans for Sport Governing Bodies in Brazil, Zambia and India
- Through the ICES project leading professional development and exchanges in support of Coach Education Programmes in a range of international agencies including the Homeless World Cup Foundation and Special Olympics Bharat.
- Facilitating ICES interactive development seminars focused on supporting coach development systems in India, Bangladesh, Trinidad & Tobago and Southern Africa.
- Strategic development and support for the establishment of Youth Leadership Centres programmes in Tazania and Ghana.

Bangor, Maine, May 16, 2013 -- Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack today announced payments to producers in 38 states to support the production of advanced biofuels. The United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) remains focused on carrying out its mission, despite a time of significant budget uncertainty. Today's announcement is one part of the Department's efforts to strengthen the rural economy.
"These payments represent the Obama administration's commitment to support an 'all of the above' energy strategy," Vilsack said. "Producing advanced biofuels is a major component of the drive to take control of America's energy future by developing domestic, renewable energy sources."
USDA Rural Development State Director Virginia Manuel said, "Supporting our Maine wood pellet manufacturers is essential and helps to ensure the continued production of advanced biofuels from Maine's abundant biomass resources. Wood pellets give Mainers the option of using an alternative to fossil fuel, helping to keep more money in their pockets. This is good for the local economy and the environment."
In Maine, Geneva Wood Fuels, LLC, Maine Woods Pellet Company, LLC, and Northeast Pellets, LLC have been selected to receive payments through this important program.
• Geneva Wood Fuels, LLC, located in Strong, has been selected to receive a payment of $2,690 to produce wood pellets. This figure is based on their FY 12 4th quarter production of 11,555 metric tons of pellets.
• Maine Woods Pellet Company, LLC, located in Athens, has been selected to receive a payment in the amount of $6,483 to produce wood pellets. This figure is based on their FY 12 4th quarter production of 27,846 metric tons of pellets.
• Northeast Pellets, LLC, located in Ashland, has been selected to receive a payment of $387. This figure is based on their FY 12 4th quarter production of 1,663 metric tons of pellets.
USDA Rural Development has supported all of Maine's pellet manufacturers through this program, resulting in a total investment of $1,047,288 since FY 09.
The funding is being provided through USDA's Bioenergy Program for Advanced Biofuels, which was established in the 2008 Farm Bill. Under this program, payments are made to eligible producers based on the amount of advanced biofuels produced from renewable biomass, other than corn kernel starch. Examples of eligible feedstocks include but are not limited to: crop residue; animal, food and yard waste material; vegetable oil; and animal fat. Biofuel can be from a variety of non-food sources, including waste products.
Through this and other programs, USDA is working to support the research, investment and infrastructure necessary to build a strong biofuels industry that creates jobs and broadens the range of feedstocks used to produce renewable fuel. More than 280 producers in 45 states and territories have received $192.5 million in payments since the program's inception. It has supported the production of more than 3 billion gallons of advanced biofuel and the equivalent of more than 36 billion kilowatt hours of electric energy.
The U.S. Department of Agriculture today is announcing almost $14 million in payments to 162 advanced biofuel producers. To view a list of producers receiving payments of more than $500, click here: http://www.rurdev.usda.gov/SupportDocuments/rdAdvancedBiofuelPaymentProgramChart.pdf
President Obama's plan for rural America has brought about historic investment and resulted in stronger rural communities. Under the President's leadership, these investments in housing, community facilities, businesses and infrastructure have empowered rural America to continue leading the way – strengthening America's economy, small towns and rural communities. USDA's investments in rural communities support the rural way of life that stands as the backbone of our American values. President Obama and Agriculture Secretary Vilsack are committed to a smarter use of Federal resources to foster sustainable economic prosperity and ensure the government is a strong partner for businesses, entrepreneurs and working families in rural communities.
USDA, through its Rural Development mission area, has a portfolio of programs designed to improve the economic stability of rural communities, businesses, residents, farmers and ranchers and improve the quality of life in rural America.
USDA has made a concerted effort to deliver results for the American people, even as USDA implements sequestration – the across-the-board budget reductions mandated under terms of the Budget Control Act. USDA has already undertaken historic efforts since 2009 to save more than $828 million in taxpayer funds through targeted, common-sense budget reductions. These reductions have put USDA in a better position to carry out its mission, while implementing sequester budget reductions in a fair manner that causes as little disruption as possible.

It's a sad fact of life that writers often lose a little of their wonder when reading. "Hmm, I wonder why the writer said it that way," we think. Or, "No, I would have split that paragraph up and inserted the information between dialogues." But read we must, because we're writers and, basically, besides writing, that's what we do.
Late last year, a submission call went out for stories from the SFR Brigade, and the submissions culminated in TALES FROM THE SFR BRIGADE, recently released through Smashwords. (I hear it's also coming out on Amazon but it's the Smash edition that I downloaded, Amazon obviously considering me too Third World illiterate to be allowed to buy ebooks from their precious website. Ahem. Anyway. Moving right along….) This free ebook contains eight stories and each of them is a delight.
Imprint (Pippa Jay). I'm no stranger to Pippa's work, having been the narrator of at least one of her stories, and she's an author I always enjoy reading. The action starts from the first paragraph, grabs you by the throat and doesn't let go till the end, as Jiona Sax–fearless thief and manipulator of crime gangs–evades delicious Marshal, Tevik, strongman Gutu and the evil crimelord, Vaz Del. When her machinations catch up with her, as you know they must, the action still takes an unexpected tack that had me blinking in surprise. My only criticism of this story is that the surprise at the end isn't explained as completely as I'd like but, then again, I'm a particularly pernickety reader. Criminal.
Allure (Amy Laurens) reminds me that emotion is as much a part of SFR as the technology. I enjoyed that it was set in Australia, where the Christmases are dry and searing. It made a welcome change to the usual snow-and-conifers I usually read about. The "trump card" that the humans hold against the Alphs on a planet far away is logical and I liked the reasoning a lot. I just wish the story could have been a little longer to encompass a bit more of the human-Alph backstory. Military.
Nobody's Present (Marcella Burnard). Oh boy, I think I've just found my next gotta-read author. Burnard puts the tech and the romance together so well, I was grinning all over the place. What can sassy high-school physics teacher, Finlay Selkirk (a little too strident at the start for me, but she soon settles down), show a bunch of spacefaring aliens? Read this story and find out. Having two protagonists who've faced loss adds an additional, mature dimension to the dynamic that I really appreciated. My only comment is that I liked Orlan Grisham and thought he got a bum deal in the sentence that first described him. Military.
The Stranger (Kyndra Hatch). So damned short!! Beautiful and emotional, Hatch's story describes two humans caught at the devastating tail-end of the Human-Skellyd war…a war that didn't go well for the humans. Amid the tangible destruction, there is such heart-rending loss, and The Stranger focuses on one such tale. Loss, tragedy, a desperate search for happiness and a risk of trust, but still too damned short! Military.
Mission: Nam Selan (Linnea Sinclair). As Sinclair says at the start, this story is set in her Alliance Command universe, and features perennially favourite protagonists, Branden Kel-Paten and Tasha Sebastian. Very much like Jay's and Burnard's stories, the action begins with a bang and doesn't let up till the end. Along the way, we're introduced to raffish pirate, Dag Zanorian, Sebastian's furzel, Tank, and a very interesting political situation. It is testament to Sinclair's writing that, even though I'm not familiar with her Alliance Command universe, at no time did the plot become muddled in any way. A lovely space opera vignette. Military.
Prime Sensations (Liana Brooks). Lana was left for dead three years ago on a planet under heavy enemy fire. When the story begins, she is working off her ransom on an enemy (Ilona) waste hauler. When a strike team infiltrates the hauler, expecting someone else, she is brought face to face with Kaleb, the man who–she thinks–never came to rescue her. With a sense of betrayal now seared into her bones, is she willing to give Kaleb a second chance? I liked this story which is set in a very detail-rich universe, but would have appreciated a few more details on the Nova Crystals, Kaleb's father and the Adrian Situation (that's all I'm going to say about it). Military.
Envy's Revenge (Berinn Rae). Kudos to Ms. Rae for the innovative setting of a swamp for her story. Living in Malaysia at the moment means I'm well acquainted with rampant greenery, high humidity and a scary variety of biting insects, so huzzah! Nolyra lives in a bleak future where humanity has been decimated by an exceedingly probable set of circumstances. Men are brutal, women are prized only for their ability to bear children and Envy, hiding out in the swamp, has her hands full keeping her territory clear of scuffers (and worse). When a stranger arrives in her swamp, not taking no for an answer, Envy is forced to see the enemy in a new way. Can she adjust to this new way of thinking? I loved immersing myself in Envy's world, could almost breathe in the moisture-laden air myself but felt the ending was too hurried with not enough foreshadowing. But an evocative and rich setting. I'd love to read more of this world. Post-apocalyptic.
Whiskey and Starshine (Erica Hayes) is the last story in the anthology. A space western featuring, not just the whore with the heart of gold (Allie Rose) but also a chip in her head, and a scarred bad-boy-turned good, Raine Jericho. I'm not a fan of space westerns but this one was full of heart and it won me over. The ending was more than satisfying and made me smile. Western.
An anthology is nothing without its editors and Laurie Green, Paula Dooley and JC Cassels did a terrific job, as did the copy editors, Laurel Kriegler, Cary Caffrey, Danielle Cassels and Patty Hammond. The book was flawless.
As you can see from my small tail-end summaries, the anthology is skewed to the military side, which is okay, but I'm really no fan of the military (despite coming from one such family) and I look forward to seeing more SFR in non-military settings. Many of these stories could easily have been expanded into very fine novels and I found myself caught by wanting to reach the story's resolution and yet also wanting more details of the universe I was reading in. Aaaargh! In conclusion, if TALES FROM THE SFR BRIGADE was meant to whet my appetite by showcasing a variety of fine SFR writers, it succeeded admirably.
RATING: Highly recommended. 4 out of 5 stars
I got my copy from Smashwords.

International normalised ratio (INR)
Last updated: Tuesday, 07, August, 2007
Item | Process |
Specimen | 4.5 mL blood added to 0.5 mL citrate. |
Method | The result for the prothrombin time is expressed as a prothrombin ratio (PR - clotting time for patient plasma divided by time for control plasma). A correction factor (International Sensitivity Index or ISI) is applied to the prothrombin ratio, as the sensitivity of commercial thromboplastin reagents is variable, and the result issued as an INR (INR=PRISI). This allows for better standardisation across laboratories and thromboplastins. See Prothrombin time. |
Therapeutic Interval | The therapeutic interval for oral anticoagulant therapy is as follows: therapy after DVT or pulmonary embolism 2.0-3.0; |
Application | Monitoring oral anticoagulant therapy and part of broader testing of anticoagulation. |
Interpretation | The therapeutic intervals represent the levels at which therapy should be effective without an excessive risk of bleeding. Although expression of the results as an INR 'corrects' for reagent variability, this is not entirely satisfactory and some of the differences in the literature may relate to reagent sensitivity. |

Brookings Institution. June 24, 2013.
The Court's much-awaited decision in the affirmative action case of Fisher v. University of Texas at Austin, announced on Monday, June 24, is a classic example of avoiding the central question.
In three past landmark cases, the Supreme Court declared that racial diversity is a legitimate and constitutional objective of institutions of higher learning. Outright quotas, it said, were impermissible. Rather, measures to promote diversity must be narrowly targeted to that objective. Such measures must be subject to 'strict scrutiny,' which in the case of universities means that the burden of proof rests on the university to show what it is doing is as narrowly crafted as possible to achieve 'diversity.'

Brookings Institution. March 7, 2013.
Affirmative action is back in the news this year with a major Supreme Court case, Fisher v. Texas. The question before the Court is whether the Fourteenth Amendment's Equal Protection Clause permits the University of Texas at Austin's use of race in its undergraduate admissions process. The Court may declare the use of racial preferences in university admissions unconstitutional when it decides the case in the coming months, potentially overturning its decision in the landmark Grutter case decided a decade ago.

Center for American Progress. April 4, 2012.
Affirmative action has been so misconstrued over the years that it helps to look back and see why it was necessary. Though widely misunderstood as a quota system or grossly mischaracterized as reverse discrimination against white Americans, affirmative action was originally an acknowledgment that American society was changing. In a post-civil-rights era, as black Americans and white women increasingly challenged educated white males to enter their exclusive citadels of higher education and job sites, an accommodation to the new realities of American society had to be made. Those adjustments were affirmative action programs that sought to bring fully qualified blacks and women into places that they were historically excluded from. (Note: contains copyrighted material).

text: Do you remember the first time you met and you didnt need to say a word and the sparks were flying? It was all about looking into each others eyes and feeling that mutual attraction. Maybe you and your girl have lost that spark or maybe you are a single guy who wants to find that attraction with a mystery woman out there. Im here to tell you that it is all about eye contact. It doesnt matter if you met two seconds or twenty years ago, having strong and powerful eye contact can be the difference between dull and divine. Do you really know how to look at a woman? Even little girls learn that a smoldering glance is what men do when they learn How To Pick Up Women. Case in point: the recent release of the Disney movie Tangled where the male love interest tries to woo Rapunzel with his smolder. In that case, it didnt work, but that was only because she had been locked in a tower for 18 years and he was the first man she had seen. However, most women respond to eye contact. It gives them shivers. It makes them feel wanted and special. Therefore, even if it is your wife of 25 years or your new girlfriend, using solid eye contact is a surefire way to attract a woman and make her feel special. Im not talking creepy staring. Im talking prolonged, meaningful eye contact that just gets you right there. It's the easiest and most effective way in you want to know How To Seduce A Girl. Many relationship advice books actually recommend that couples turn off the television during dinner and sit and talk and maintain eye contact. Other books say that even a few meaningful seconds of eye contact in the morning before each partner goes off to work, can make the relationship spicier when they get back together later in the day. Eye contact cannot be underestimated. If it is not used correctly, the gorgeous, amazing woman who is waiting for you to approach her will think you arent interested because you will not make eye contact with her. She may even seek attention from someone else figuring that because you wont make eye contact with her, you just arent interested. If you like a girl, look her deep in the eyes. In order to avoid coming across as weird or creepy. I would suggest you practice making eye contact in the mirror first. Figure out what kind of look and just how long it should be so it is sexy, not strange. Then practice making eye contact with everyone you know. The simple act of meeting someones eyes during conversation conveys confidence, charisma and authority. Just by one simple change in your habits, you will appear as a poised person with tons of self-esteem. Thats a pretty easy adjustment to make, isnt it? So if you are on the prowl to meet a one-night stand, the girl of your dreams, your future wife or are just trying to revive your long-term relationship with your girl, dont forget to spice it up with a little eye contact.

Palolo Elementary School Principal named as finalist in $25,000 School Leadership Award | Business
Principal Ruth Silberstein of Palolo Elementary School was named a finalist in the 2012 Masayuki Tokioka Excellence in School Leadership Awards. One Hawaii public school principal will receive $25,000 (a $10,000 personal cash award and $15,000 towards a school project of his or her choice). The recipient of this year's award will be announced at the Public Schools of Hawaii Foundation dinner on April 13, 2012 in Honolulu.
The award, which is named after Island Insurance founder Masayuki Tokioka is underwritten by the Island Insurance Foundation, the philanthropic arm of Island Insurance Companies. Eleven public school principals from across the state are finalists for the award which recognizes outstanding school principals across the state and their efforts to provide high-quality learning opportunities for their students.
Ruth Silberstein has been principal of Palolo Elementary for 11 years. Facing challenges such as poverty, gang violence, truancy and more than half of students learning English as a second language, changes were implemented under the No Child Left Behind Act. A year after implementing changes, for the very first time, students were prepared and able to complete their Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP) exams. After two years, Palolo reached AYP standards and became a school in good standing.
"As a former Honolulu District principal, I had the opportunity to watch Palolo Elementary transform from a low performing school to meeting the Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP)," said Judith Saranchock, Ed.D. "This is because Mrs. Silberstein's commitment and love of children transformed the school."
The Island Insurance Foundation was established as the charitable arm of Island Insurance, the only locally-owned property and casualty insurance carrier to have a charitable entity solely dedicated to supporting the non-profit community. Island Insurance is Hawaii's largest locally owned and managed P&C insurance carrier with financial strength ratings of "A" by A.M. Best and Fitch Ratings and is the only Hawaii-Based company to be recognized as one of the Top 50 property & casualty insurance companies in the nation by the Ward Group for four consecutive years.

Shadow Shot Sunday - Derby Public
It is a fine looking structure, the stone facade massive yet the large windows add a brilliance that makes it a bit less imposing. And, the renovation allowed for me wheelchair entry - a definite plus for me :)
The facade of the addition followed the original style in stone and windows. A stunning building outside and in...The stone follows the outside the building in the walls that surround the building. A granite stairway is curvaceous, the shadows falling along the wall contours, the handrail adding shadowy and curvaceous nuance to the scene...
The shady side shows off the massive style. In the renovation, modern windows, of the same style when built, replaced the windows.
When you look at the scene, the building seems stern and overbearing. However, with the huge windows at each level, the interior is very bright from the outdoor light - just like in the old days.
It takes work to find the seam that separates the original and new sections on this wall. - it is just the stone beyond the vertical drainpipe. The changes from old to new are almost imperceptible.
With the multi-pane windows, shadows fall inside the closed-for-the day library, the panes allowing for cool effects on both sides of the glass
The shadow hunter captures himself with the point-and-shoot, the hunt for shadows always a fun pursuit...Follow the artistry of changing light at the fun and picturesque meme SSS2!

Elmwood rebrands Gressingham Duck
Elmwood has created a new identity for Gressingham Duck, which uses a hidden duck's head in the letter G.
The consultancy was tasked with developing a brand identity that would encourage people to eat duck more often.
It says, 'There is a fear of cooking duck and a general ignorance about what to do with it among consumers, and the main role of the brand rearticulation and packaging redesign was to instil more confidence and understanding in people.'
Elmwood says it took its cues for the branding from other sectors, including alcohol, that 'do premium really well'.
It developed an identity which uses a warm duck-bill amber colour and features a duck's head in the letter G. It also introduced a strapline 'the remarkable duck people'.
Simon Preece, group client services director, says, 'Previously, while the packaging used premium cues of black and gold, the brand itself lacked standout and relevance.
'The new packaging stand out on shelf, and has lots of added details such as the bright amber information box, and the 1,2,3 cooking guide to remove the fear for consumers.'
Elmwood was appointed to the work after being added to a credentials pitch list as a result of its work for Saucy Fish.
Readers' comments (5)
'Elmwood says it took its cues for the branding from other sectors, including alcohol, that 'do premium really well'
....not to mention the previous branding, which used a ducks head (actually just a bird....as Gressingham sell other poultry too) as the ear of the double-storey g and was executed much better in my opinion! it was subtle and refined, this one by comparison looks quite clumsy!Loving the remarkable duck people line very nice. Maybe the mark is a bit bloated still fun though
Should I assume that 'anonymous' had something to do with the previous one as they sound slightly bitter.....I like the new one, nice work Elmwood.
It's nice, but, imho, the previous was cleaner and more adaptable. There's a touch of the late 80s about the new one.
I predict another re-design within the next 3 years.The previous logo was far more high wrought and certainly much more appealing to one's eye, and as Belmoo (above) says -'cleaner and adaptable'.
The new logo's visage is less winsome and certainly not as inviting. The luxury has been lost in the re-design, and is far less polished.
But who is to blame here for this new look? The designers or the Gressingham company for picking the finished product logo? And of course, we have all heard of 'If it ain't broke, why fix it'. That is clearly what has happened here!
Lets hope the taste of the food is not as insipid and heavy as the new logo is.
In the design and technology world that is continuously moving forward, why opt for downgrade… ???

Golly, the day started out cloudy and somewhat cool; I moved all my "gardening" stuff and patio chair pads out, started to weed which didn't last very long, thunder storms came through, we've had sun, rain and hail all during the day, so I actually cleaned house for a change. But that's great, we'll take all we can get! |
Follow-Up Postings:
I think you got more than we did up here. Several of those that hit you missed me up here--but I watched them blow by. We did get waves of it off and on.. more in the way now. I got a ton of ironing done and had dinner done early. :) |
It's amazing what we get done when we can't be out in the garden, isn't it, lol! Yikes, it better not rain TOO much more, wouldn't know how to handle being caught up in the house... |
I had water standing in several places, Gail.....must have gotten more than you, but no hail, thank goodness. And you two are better at this than I............when I cannot work outside, I sulk and get very little done inside. |
It was rather nice outside here, didn't actually have any rain, although we have had a nice amount the past two nights. Gotta love Texas weather! |
We had "waves" of rain in Oak Cliff yesterday morning and another hard rain early this morning. Some good thunder and lightning, but no hail. My little gauge says we've had 2 inches altogether this week. Much appreciated! |

raining like the dickens outside right now on the Island! Yeah! Started off hot and muggy and now it's cool, raining and thunder Tally HO! |
our power was out for 6 hours last night, lots of rain though and for that I'm thankful :-) |

Yes, there is a difference between the values and the mods. Are you going to be spending much time in your resort? If not, you won't notice the difference.
The moderates have larger rooms/vanity/dressers, a table service restaurant, pools with slides and some have other activities available.
Of all the values, we prefer Pop Century. We like it better than the All Stars because of its location and food court. I personally like the check-in area - mainly because there is a lot of vintage Disneyana on display.
Whichever you decide, enjoy your trip!
