Hill Health CEO Resigns

Posted to: Health
Amid mounting troubles under her watch, Jamesina "Jai" E. Henderson resigned Friday from her post as CEO of the Cornell Scott Hill Health Center.
The resignation takes effect immediately, according to a statement from the organization's board of directors.
Her departure comes amid financial troubles that have prompted pay cuts and company-wide furloughs. It also comes on the heels of an investigation by attorney Floyd Dugas into personnel complaints against her. The probe stemmed from lengthy letter about alleged mismanagement, written in August by Chief Financial Officer Stewart Joslin. Dugas issued the report to the board in October.
The board did not share details of the report, the terms of her departure, or the reason behind Henderson's resignation, said Hill Health spokesman Rob Rioux.
Henderson took over as CEO in 2009 following the death of long-time leader Cornell Scott.
The board Friday appointed Michael R. Taylor (pictured), the health center's chief operations officer since July 2010, as interim CEO.
"The Board of Directors and the employees of the Cornell Scott - Hill Health Center wish Jai the very best," said Board Chair and Alderwoman Andrea Jackson-Brooks in the statement. She declined further comment.
Rioux said the departure "doesn't affect our ability to see patients. We will continue to show up every day and do our job to the best of our ability. Nothing really changes."

NOT a good sign for Hill Health, which is already in seriously dire financial straits…..
If recent corporate history shows us anything, watch for Cornell Scott Hill Health to declare bankruptcy, or be purchased at a fire-sale price before the end of 2012.
Perhaps Yale New Haven Hospital will purchase the ailing corporation?
This does not bode well for the poor living in New Haven, especially with the so-called Affordable Care Act to be ushered in in coming months…

These stories talk about financial problems, but they never say what they are. What's the core problem? Expenses too high? Revenue too low? Both? This is an important entity and its services are critical. So what gives? Is there any real expectation that the new CEO and the board know how to fix the chronic problems?
posted by: anotheropinion on November 4, 2012 5:19pm
Finally the board has taken action, after 3 years of a downward spiral. What a shame and reflection on them that it took so long. I give great credit to the staff of the organization who endured for so long and still show up for work each day to do a good job. I also credit the staff who went public with their concerns by sharing with the New Haven Independent news the administration did not want known. Let's hope the Board actually does a search for leadership, and does not expediently take the easy way out by settling for the next in command.

Cornell would not be happy.
They brought in a woman all the way from California with no idea of New Haven history or culture, and she in turn brings in her people to replace local people.
She never should have been hired in the first place.
The Hill Health Center is a uniquely New Haven icon, you can't just put anybody from anywhere at the helm.

Completed agreed with you, make me wander where is the community input when this changes are happening , especially in places that are use for low income people. WE all have a lot to say about services, needs and specially we know WHO is working or make it work.
Truthfully, I believe that in New Haven have a lot of qualify professionals with skills to be in charge in this kind of places. But unfortunately they don't are considered and take their talents to other states and as a consequences we have one less home owner who's whaling stables them selves a long terms and invest in NH.

Would someone please find out who are the people that sit on these boards,that allow these financial problems to take place.Why did Miss Henderson resign and what were her salary. These places are there to help the less fortune but it seen that they always come up short with so call mis-management of funds while the board or the staff get there pay.. Just wondering for a better follow up on this story.

When should the campaign press cut a candidate some slack when he or she says something (more than once) that is not true? Never is probably a good rule of thumb.
But when will the campaign press give a candidate said slack?
When the candidate is Sen. John McCain and the "something said" involves foreign policy, as MSNBC's Chuck Todd explained in this much blogged-about exchange with Tim Russert on Sunday's Meet the Press (emphasis ours):
Russert: Chuck Todd, John McCain has been traveling in Europe and the Mid-East, had some problems in Jordan. He talked about Al Qaeda being trained by the Iranians. Lindsey Graham who he was with and Joe Lieberman tried to say to him Al Qaeda is Sunni, not trained by the Shiite Iranian government. Any citizen (or soldier) trying to figure out the complexity of Iraq needs to learn the diffference.Does that kind of stumble hurt a McCain candidacy?
Todd: What's odd about the stumble, is it a stumble or was it a talking point that he had been using for actually a couple of weeks, over a week, where he was talking about sort of almost blurring [Al Qaeda and Iran]…as one enemy? The question is, he truncated it to the point he ended up misspeaking. The problem, of course, McCain has, he can't — he doesn't want to make it so he forgot it for a minute. Because of the age issue, he can't look like he's having a senior moment. Instead he's better off going ahead and saying he misspoke. Even if he's dinged on the experience stuff— he's Mr. Experience, doesn't he know the difference? — he's got enough of that in the bank at least with the media he can get away with it. The irony, had either Senator Clinton or Senator Obama misspoke like that it would have been on a running loop and it would've become a big problem for a couple of days for them.
A "running loop" like Sen. Clinton's TuzlaGate is receiving today? Clinton, too, "misspoke" (more than once describing her trip to Tuzla, Bosnia twelve years ago as more dramatic and dangerous—Sniper fire! Corkscrew landing!—than it actually was). There is no escaping the ongoing dissection of TuzlaGate on TV today, complete with footage of Clinton-with-blonde-bob walking smilingly—and, by the looks of it rather safely—down the tarmac in Tuzla.
Let's take a look at how The New York Times treated the two instances of candidates "misspeaking," a repeated exaggeration by one and either a repeated serious error or a repeated deceptive elision by the other.
The headline on the McCain story last week, reported by Michael Cooper, set a he-said, she-said tone for the piece—"McCain Missteps on Iraq; Democrats Pounce"—which distinctly signals to the reader that, facts aside, this is mostly a partisan dustup, one side saying one thing, the other side "pouncing," nothing too serious to see here. Indeed, someone from the Democratic National Committee is quoted in the piece calling McCain "wrong on Iraq once again," followed by a rebuttal from a McCain campaign spokesperson questioning Democrats' "readiness on matters of national security." And that "McCain had made similar comments about Iran training Al Qaeda in an interview with 'The Hugh Hewitt Show'" is reported as something that "the Democrats noted," painting a straightforward fact with the patina of partisanship.
In the Times' treatment today of TuzlaGate, there is no "Clinton Missteps on Tuzla; Republicans Pounce." The "pouncing" here is done not by the "other side" —neither the RNC nor the McCain or Obama camps have voices in the story —but by the Times reporters themselves (four of them who contributed to the article, studying Clinton's public schedule from March 1996, interviewing other persons present on that Tuzla trip, pressing the campaign for clarifications and triggering "backpedaling.")
This is as it should be in cases like this. When a candidate says something that is not accurate—particularly something that speaks to his or her main argument for running—the candidate should be called on it and called to account for it. What's good for the goose is good for the gander.

ACA website issues could be fixed in weeks
UPDATED 7:03 PM CDT Oct 10, 2013Since the website was launched, Iowans have reported struggles to get signed up on the Affordable Care Act site.
Video TranscriptOpposition to the Affordable Care Act sparked the current shutdown. But the act is now facing an even bigger foe. A website that's so troublesome only a handful of people have been able to use it. KCCI's Ben Jordan has that story. Millions across the country have tried getting signing up for insurance with the Healthcare dot gov website. Local insurance companies we talked to have one bit of advice. "I THINK ANY CONSUMER THAT HAS ALREADY TRIED TO GO ON IS FRUSTRATED." With so many bugs in the system only a persistent handful of Iowans have made it through. But for those who gave up the first time around, Cliff Gold of CoOportunity Health says the problems remind him of the last major health legislation overhaul. "WE'RE NOT REALLY SHOCKED WITH WHAT'S HAPPENED IN WHAT'S CALLED THE HEALTH CARE EXCHANGE OF THE HEALTH CARE MARKET SO FAR." JUMP TO WHEN MEDICARE AND MEDICAID FIRST STARTED THERE WAS A BIG HUBBUB JUST LIKE THIS. WITHIN FOUR OR FIVE YEARS, NONE OF THAT EXISTED ANYMORE." Broadlawn's Medical Center in Des Moines is offering their first of four open house guidance sessions this evening. Since open enrollment began October first, the hospital has helped complete one- hundred-six applications. None of which worked online. "WE HAVE NOT SUCCESSFULLY DONE ONE APPLICATION ONLINE TO COMPLETION." "BUT IF YOUR ONLINE MARKET STRUGGLES CONTINUE, YOU CAN APPLY BY PHONE OR PAPER." Whether you're one of 70 thousand Iowans switching from the Iowa Care Program or currently uninsured, make sure your ACA application is accepted by December 15th to avoid tax penalties. "I THINK THE GREAT BULK OF CONSUMERS HAVEN'T GONE ON YET AND WHEN THEY DO, IF THEY WAIT LONG ENOUGH IT WILL BE A MUCH EASIER EXPERIENCE THAN IT LOOKS LIKE." Despite the online application's struggles, Broadland's Plan A for visitor applications is still via computer. "WE HAVE A LOT OF CLIENTELE THAT ONE, ARE NOT AS COMPUTER SAVVY AS SOME OTHERS MIGHT BE AND PART OF WHAT WE DO HERE IS WE LIKE TO MAKE IT AS EASY OF A PROCESS FOR OUR CLIENTELE." On the bright side for Central Iowans, Gold says the metro will have the cheapest premiums in the state because of the amount of hospitals and physicians. To be able to compete, many are willing to discount their

Is there any leg stretching equipment that can help me to achieve greater flexibility? Maybe there is some kind of band or a weight that I can use?
I remember seeing videos of gymnasts training and it seems like a lot of them have their coaches sit on their backs so that they can stretch farther. I don't have anyone I could ask to sit on me but maybe there is some way I can approximate the effect.

At the age of just 25, she has already earned nearly $9 million.But the American, dubbed the "Pink Panther" due to her on-course attire and love of a certain fluffy toy, also gives a lot back in return."If you ask me who's Paula Creamer, the golfer, I'll tell you I'm the player who wants to give back to kids as much as I can," she told CNN Mexico.The 2010 U.S. Open champion dedicates a lot of time, and money, to helping future generations make their way in the game as she has done."It's one of the most humbling experiences I've ever had," the world No. 6 said. "There's more to the game when you're playing in front of kids."Golf is about the young kids, it is about growing the game, letting it play 100, 200 years from now."Just WatchedYoung success for Lexi ThompsonreplayMore Videos ...Young success for Lexi Thompson 05:33PLAY VIDEOJust WatchedLorena Ochoa's golf tipsreplayMore Videos ...Lorena Ochoa's golf tips 00:55PLAY VIDEOJust WatchedGolf through the camera lensreplayMore Videos ...Golf through the camera lens 05:12PLAY VIDEOJust WatchedLife as a young pro golferreplayMore Videos ...Life as a young pro golfer 05:13PLAY VIDEOThat's why she has invested part of the $8.7 million she has earned on the LPGA Tour in helping others. For instance, she has offered scholarships at Florida's IMG Leadbetter Golf Academy, which she attended. The sky is the limitOne of the kids Creamer has worked with is Ana Claudia Rodriguez, an 11-year-old who plays at Mexico's Guadalajara Country Club, the same course where two-time major winner Lorena Ochoa grew up."Paula has motivated me with advice and I have been playing better golf ever since I met her," she said. "I've won five tournaments on different (Mexican) courses."Rodriguez is the only girl to have won the award for best student at the Guadalajara Country Club golf academy."Paula is interested in my education, she asks me what (scores) I'm shooting and tells me that the most important thing is to have fun, to have a good attitude, but most importantly, to have a good time whenever I play golf."Rodriguez only gets to see Creamer once a year, when the LPGA circuit comes to Mexico for the Lorena Ochoa Invitational in Guadalajara. She and her brother Santiago skip school -- with their parents' permission -- to get a glimpse of their favorite player.The most significant thing Creamer has shared with Ana and Santiago, besides several gifts like balls, caps and even the Pink Panther she carries on her bag, is to "never give up ... The sky is the limit to achieve your dreams."Inspire othersAt the age of eight, Julie Steinbauer never imagined that meeting Creamer -- who at the time was 17 -- would change her life.Creamer was playing the Junior Orange Bowl International Championship in Coral Gables, Florida, but food poisoning forced her to withdraw."She went out to watch," Steinbauer remembers. "I hung out with her and she was very nice to me the whole time." Two months later, "I went up to the David Leadbetter Golf Academy and practiced with her for a couple days."However, it wasn't until she started playing golf in high school she realized how much of an impact Creamer had made in her life.Steinbauer could have been interested in one of the other 140 golfers that play regularly on the LPGA, but says "Paula is very relatable. "She is young, energetic, and very kind... now I can always think back and remember how dedicated she was in high school."One of the most valuable pieces of advice Cramer gave Steinbauer was to respect the rules."I was playing with a friend of mine in a tournament and she tried to get away with cheating until I stopped her. "Paula wrote me back saying, 'I heard that you had some rules problems but you did the right thing. Never let someone get away with breaking the rules, even if they are your friend. It might be one of the hardest things to do, but the rules are there for a reason.'"Education is the cornerstoneJoseph McKenney, 19, studies engineering at Embry-Riddle University, in Daytona, Florida. He knows that without Creamer his academic life might have not been the same."Without her generous financial support, I seriously doubt that I would be halfway through my second year at a private engineering college," he said.At 13, when McKenney was in 8th grade, Paula offered two one-year scholarships to attend the Leadbetter academy, located in Bradenton, Florida.McKenney competed with five other kids and, after several interviews and essays addressed to the Creamers, he got the financial aid.His progress, on and off the course, was so good that Paula decided to extend the scholarship through the rest of high school -- another three years.Besides playing golf at the academy, McKenney "realized that my career goal was to become a golf course architect."His admiration for Creamer grew quickly as he realized that she was determined to help others off the course. "Paula and her family were also actively involved in our local chapter of The First Tee (a youth development program). Each year, they would help us to raise money for it," he said.Now, McKenney analyzes the way Creamer handles media. "She was always so poised, looking directly into the camera, and speaking clearly. I have used that model in speeches for fundraisers, for classes in school, and in speaking to people with whom I have a business-type relationship."Long distanceChristina Basara lives in Oklahoma City, but she has not been able to attend an LPGA event. Nevertheless, Creamer is a huge inspiration to her."She makes me think about golf and she makes me want to play golf more," the eight-year-old said.But how can a girl who has never met her idol feel this way?Her coach, Stephanie, is responsible for introducing her into Creamer's world. Her husband Doug, an LPGA rules official, contacted the golfer and her family."She wrote a note to me and what it says is 'practice hard and have fun' ... she gave me her shag bag with a lot of pink golf balls," Christina said.Heather, the girl's mother, believes Paula is an example of "a woman who has worked hard to be able to do what she enjoys most."Creamer's attention and advice has helped Christina identify golf as a game for girls. She has made quite an impact."I dressed up like Paula Creamer for Halloween, I like her a lot."More from golfShifting sands: The form of golf that's on borrowed timeLegend Jack Nicklaus launches ice cream rangeDavis Love III named U.S. Ryder Cup captain Powered by Livefyre

A Fringed-Out MUSE
One of the best things about doing devised theatre is that you get to re-envision and re-work the show from different angles. For the Fringe tour, we knew that our previous version of MUSE (which relied on video mapping) would not be possible due to the turn around time between shows, so we had the opportunity to tell the story in a new, fresh way. On top of that, a new addition to our cast (the lovely Darlene Arsenault replaces the beautiful Maureen Molyneaux)
Natalia Hautala (left) and Darlene Arseneault (right)
provided a whole new perspective on the story and the character of Vicky, the guilt-ridden but effervescent nurse.
This version turns up the fun factor and embraces all that the Fringe holds dear: laughter, audience involvement, moving storyline and a feel good ending. Don't miss this new version of MUSE!

What People Are Saying About MUSE
Our audience members are speaking up about MUSE:
"Went to see "Muse" tonight directed by Barbra French and it was a fantastic piece of theatre!! If you are in Nanaimo and you can make it out this weekend, you should! I laughed and cried and was, frankly, super impressed with the quality of the show. One great piece of theatre. We are lucky to have Barbra here doing this kind of work."
"This was a beautiful piece of art…a titillating sensory experience inside a woman's head. I feel as though I took a part of Grace home with me that night. Open. Honest. Brave. I laughed. I cried. I sang! This is what theatre is about."
"I thought Muse was a brave and beautifully crafted piece of original theatre. Very thought provoking with talented actors and a great sound and light design. The audience participation was magical."
"The visuals are breathtaking, really amazing. Such a moving play."
"This project really pushes the boundaries of conventional theatre and asks the audience to risk something with the actors - to feel and understand Grace's pain, happiness and overall state of mind. I cannot stress on how much I recommend you see this play, and take advantage of truly beautiful storytelling, acting, stage tech, and music. Thank you to everybody involved in MUSE for inspiring me tonight."
"It has really stuck with me. Congratulations on an artistic success."
"It is hard to put into words just how beautiful and unique Muse is...just go see it!"
"Had a refreshing theatre adventure at In Other Words Theatre's new play Muse-moving performances, haunting melodies-an amazing extrasensory experience..."
"Nanaimoites- do yourself a favour and go out and see live theatre. Nanaimo Centre Stage, In Other Words theatre company is currently presenting a new work, directed by Barbara French entitled MUSE. Simple, well played, grounded theatre. Playing this weekend and next. Go on, go out and play!"
There are still two more weekends to go: Oct 17-19 and 24-26. Have you got your tickets yet?
The Little Black Tote: Getting Naked for Art
We're offering our Little Black Tote to all those who donate $25 or more. All proceeds go to our debut production of MUSE. Just click the donation button on the right. You can arrange to pick it up at the box office when you come to see the show, OR have it shipped right to your door. Just email Barbra with your preference. But hurry; there are only a few dozen left!
See the lovely Natalia Hautala sport one here:
Our fall debut is just around the corner! MUSE is a unique theatrical experience unlike anything Nanaimo has seen before.
Using video mapping, projection, live performance and interaction with the audience, the story reveals itself from inside the imagination of one of its characters. Abandoned and institutionalized for many years, Grace yearns to be left alone to follow her single remaining passion: making music in her head. Her new nurse, however, has an entirely different agenda, and must find a way to communicate with her mute charge and free herself from her own prison. MUSE is a feast for the eyes, ears, and the soul.
Preview: Wednesday, Oct 9 @ 8:00 pm
Shows: Thursdays, Fridays & Saturdays Oct 10 - 26 @ 8:00 pm
Tickets are $21 for adults and $15 for students (except for preview night, when tickets are $10) and will be available at:
or at the door.

Our thanks to Fringetastic for their generous gift. Go and see the Fringe! For a peek at this year's lineup:
Help Us Make a Play (in more ways than one)
We are pleased as punch to announce that our Indiegogo campaign for MUSE is now live! Check it out, make a donation (so easy now that Indiegogo accepts PayPal and Canadian credit cards), grab a Perk and share the link around. This will be our debut production, so let's make it happen! We are eager to show Nanaimo what we're all about. But we can't do it without you, so please make a donation—big or small—if you can.
We'd love you to be a part of this creation process in other ways, as well. Come to a fundraiser. Volunteer. Get a group of people together and buys some tickets to the show. Even better, once you're in the audience you can actually help us create part of the show itself. Right then and there. Live.
What am I talking about? MUSE takes place inside one of the character's heads, and the audience serves as her imagination. You will actually be creating a part of the play with her, so when I said we can't do it without you, I meant it quite literally. Without your support and input, the play just can't exist.
MUSE will be unlike anything most people have seen at the theatre before. For more information as the creation process (before and during rehearsals) continues, check out the Creation Blogs under News & Reviews. Thanks everyone!
Audition Notice!
We are auditioning for our our upcoming creation and production of MUSE. Check out the details here.
In Other Words Theatre is a Nanaimo company that specializes in devised theatre, artistic collaboration and new ways of telling stories "in other words". Using all forms of language (movement, light, sound, text, video, song, etc), we explore the nature of our modern human condition.
What is devised theatre?
Devised theatre simply means that the show is created in rehearsal, rather than interpreted from a pre-existing script. The process of devising is inherently spontaneous and responsive; the piece is created (or quite literally happens) moment by moment in the room as the artists explore whatever material or ideas they are using. This is quite different from the standard playwright driven model, where a (normally) single person creates and shapes their vision of the play for others to interpret and reiterate later on. Although this means that the rehearsal process for devised theatre is longer than it is with pre-scripted material, the contribution of many creative minds focused on the same project at the same time results in rich, multi-layered and engaging performances that you just don't find on your average stage.
For more on how In Other Words Theatre uses a devised process, check out The Company, and the Creation Blog for each show as it is being built.
A Big Thank You to Our Sponsors!

Current Time
Phnom Penh was laid out by French colonial city planners with broad boulevards radiating from the city center and a grid of streets (odd numbers for north-south streets, even numbers for east-west). Hotels and attractions are concentrated in the northeast section of the capital. Riverfront Sisowath Quay, which runs along the Tonle Sap River from the Royal Palace to Wat Phnom, is lined with restaurants and pubs that cater to every budget and taste. Street 178, located north of the National Museum, and Street 240, just west of the adjacent Royal Palace, have the most boutiques and handicraft stores. Small restaurants and bars also dot Boeung Keng Kang, a neighborhood south of the Independence Monument filled with international aid agencies.
Like much of southeast Asia, Phnom Penh's rainy season stretches from June into October, but precipitation usually comes in quick, stupendous downpours, not day-long drizzle. The weather is at its best November through February (the tourist high season), when skies are clear and daytime temperatures hover in the mid 80s. March through May finds the capital at its hottest and most arid, although the festivities of the mid-April Khmer New Year are a distraction. Phnom Penh's signature celebration is Bon Om Tuk, an early-November Water Festival filled with boat races that honors the annual reversal of the Tonle Sap River's current. The reversal occurs when the monsoon-swollen Mekong River veers into this 60-mile tributary of the Tonle Sap.
There are no direct flights from the United States to Cambodia, but daily nonstop flights link Phnom Penh to Bangkok, Singapore, Hanoi, Ho Chi Minh City, Hong Kong, Kuala Lumpur, Taipei, and Vientiane. Tourist visas are available upon arrival; bring a passport-size head shot and $20 for a 30-day permit. The airports also collect a $25 departure fee. (All fees can be paid with U.S. dollars.) A taxi from the Phnom Penh airport to downtown is about $10.
Traffic is breathtakingly chaotic, even by the laissez-faire standards of Southeast Asia, so forget about driving yourself around. In the absence of meters, all trips by taxi and tuk-tuk, a two-wheeled coach pulled by a motorcycle, are flat fare; agree on a price before you get taken for a ride.
Phnom Penh's gateway, Pochentong International Airport, is remarkably bereft of any tourist-oriented literature. The city's Tourist Information Center is located in the first-floor offices of Mittapheap Tours, an in-country ground operator (262 Monivong Blvd., 855 23 218 585, email@example.com). Your best bet may be to head for a popular restaurant or bar, such as the Foreign Correspondents Club, where there's usually a stack of freebie visitors' guides. Canby Publications and Cambodia Pocket Guide produce the best of them.

"Dump and Stir" Recipes
I'm sending this to everyone to ask if you have receipe ideas and also to Food on the Table as a request for more in this area. I have several small kiddos and really appreciate the recipes on here that are "Dump and Stir." Ideas?
If by dump, you mean dumping in cans of stuff or something easy, I like Chicken Pot Pie:
-pillsbury pie crust (come in packs of two)
-Stir together: can of cream of chicken; can of veg-al veggies; can of chicken or 2 cut up pre-cooked chicken breast (chicken needs to be precooked because its going in oven just long enough to get mixture hot and brown the crust)
- Dump all of this in the pie crust, place the other pie crust on top and make a few slices for venting.
- bake on lower shelf for 30 min at 300 (warms the mixture) then turn it up to 325 for the last 10 minutes (browns the crust).Easy and Excellent!

Baking with dry pasta is easy. take 2 cans of cream of mushroom/chicken soup and mix half with dry macaroni. Put this in bottom of casserole dish. Lay 4 chicken breasts on top and pour remaining soup on top. Finally sprinkle 1 pack of dry onion soup mix on top. Cover with foil. yum.
You can do the same thing with marinara instead of soup. Add raw veggies to it too.

I do most of the cooking around my place. I found easy one that I use as a heathy sweet option we call 5 cup salad.
1 cup marshmallows
1 cup crushed pecan
1 cup pineapple chunk
1 cup halfed marishino cherries
1 cup low fat sour creamdump it all in and stir. by the next day the cherries have turned it pink and my daughter likes it better

Microwave Chicken and Dressing. This is easy and tasty.
- package stove top stuffing - chicken breasts - can cream of celery soup.That is all. Make the stuffing per box and spread in bottom of square baking dish. Put chicken on top and cover with soup, ground pepper and wax paper. Microwave for 20 minutes. I made a salad with goat cheese and dry cranberry to complement.
I adapted this from a recipe on here. I can also vouch for the taco soup recipe.

I found this:
Dump Chicken
We call it "DUMP-CHICKEN" because you DUMP the mix into a 1-gallon freezer baggie with the chicken and freeze it. Then when you want to eat it, you thaw overnight in the fridge, DUMP it into your crockpot, the next morning and you're good to go.All the recipes can be made with 1- 1.5 pounds of chicken of your choice. Boneless skinless breasts-or bone-in chicken can be used. Prep it all when you get home from the grocery store, put it in the freezer, and you have several (or many) meals ready to go in the crockpot! Dump the contents of the bag in your crockpot and cook on low for approximately 6 to 8 hours.
Dump Barbeque Chicken
3/4 cup Ketchup
3/4 cup Blackberry Jam
1/8 cup White Vinegar
1 Teaspoon Worcestershire
2 Teaspoon Chili Powder
1/8 Teaspoon Salt
Strawberry, peach, and apricot also work wellDump Chili-Maple glazed chicken
2 Tablespoons Water
1 Teaspoon Salt
1 1/2 Tablespoons Maple Syrup
1 Tablespoon Chili PowderDump Orange-ginger chicken
1/4 cup Orange Marmalade
1 Tablespoon Honey-Mustard
3/4 Teaspoon Ground Ginger
1/8 Teaspoon Red PepperDump Cranberry chicken
2 Tablespoons Melted Butter
1 Tablespoon Soy Sauce
1/2 cup Cranberry Sauce
1/4 cup Orange Juice
1/8 Teaspoon Cinnamonalmost 4 years ago -
Easy crockpot recipe, we call it "Beef Tips"
"dump" a can of cream of mushroom, cream of chicken and cream of celery into your crock pot give a little stir then add a round steak (doesn't matter if it is bottom or top, about a pound is good to feed a family of four) I like to cover the steak with the soup. Cook on low all day (I put in before I go to work in the morning and it is ready when I get home) then shred with a fork and serve over rice or egg noodles with a vegi or salad on the side. Both my kids love this one and one of them is a really picky eater.almost 4 years ago -
I tried the Pan Poached Salmon Piccatta. I already purchase the individually wrapped salmon at Sam's Club so I put two in the fridge to thaw the night before. It was done in less than 20 minutes. The only change I made was to add diced artichoke hearts. It was really good. Hubby at the leftovers for breakfast.

Try Sausage Posole. You brown sausage and dump in the rest. Even the seasoning measures are just a guideline. If you like chili even a little, you will love this. We like chili okay but this is a HUGE hit at our house. It is so easy when you need a crockpot meal and little to no prep time.

Brass Swans
I have had a bit more time to thrift again and came across this lovely piece. What cracks me up about this is: 2 months ago I did not like anything brass. Brass to me represented a phase I went through in the 80's for a short period of time. And now? Well! Look at what I purchased willingly! And Hubby is loving it, which cannot be said of all my finds!
I have it on the buffet in the dining room and it looks right at home there. Sort of a wishing of "April Showers", yes?
Do you know of a good Brass cleaner or homemade recipe to shine it up a bit?
3 comments:
I absolutely LOVE this piece! I have yet to find a good brass cleaner. I hope someone has a suggestion!

I'm on my church altar guild, and we use silver cleaner on the brass, believe it or not, and it works fine.

Alas, poor brass, it does not like this lass! Okay, sorry, it just popped out and I couldn't resist. Anyway, I meant to say that don't know how to clean brass, but your piece is lovely!

Tested by the Good Housekeeping Research Institute
Aquafresh White Trays
Product Review
About GHRI Ratings
XGood Housekeeping Research Institute (GHRI) ratings are based on laboratory tests conducted by our scientists at the U.S.'s foremost consumer products evaluation laboratory, and incorporate consumer feedback. GHRI is situated on the 29th floor of the Hearst Tower in New York City and is staffed by chemists, engineers, nutritionists, textile specialists, culinary experts, and other scientists.
Using state-of-the-art equipment, GHRI experts test consumer products — from microwaves to mascaras — for their performance, safety, and, with the help of volunteer testers, ease of use.
Established in 1900, before there was a Federal Drug Administration or a Federal Trade Commission, GHRI has always been the most trusted source consumers can rely on to choose products that are safe and effective.
If you're partial to trays, consider Aquafresh White Trays for teeth whitening. We found that this kit whitened consumers' teeth an average of one shade after once week of use, and most consumer testers saw a noticeable difference too. While Aquafresh White Trays scored the best among other tray products tested, trays were the weakest overall in their ability to whiten teeth as compared to strips and devices. Aquafresh also had one of the lowest scores for ease of use among consumers; numerous volunteers complained that they couldn't get a great fit with the trays and found that the whitening gel was "messy" and "oozed over the top of the trays." Consumer testers also complained of tooth and gum sensitivity with this product, more so than most other formulas in our test.
Type: Tray
Recommended Time for Use: 45 minutes daily for one week

That's A Bigga Pizza Pie!
Question: Why is the stereotyping of Italian-Americans still acceptable?
I was watching this episode of "Fairly Odd-Parents" the other day that had a Jetsons parody -- basically, "what if the Jetsons were Italian?" And you had people talking like gangsters, threatening to do violence on other people for no reason, intimidation, etc. To be clear: the cartoon was not parodying gangsters. It was parodying Italians.
If this was a parody of another nationality, you might have had the episode pulled. But why is it acceptable with Italians?
Or take Super Mario Bros. Mario is an Italian stereotype. And when they have him talk, he talks in a stereotypical Italian accent. Fine. I'm not asking for it to be pulled. I'm just asking that you take a minute and picture a similar character based on some other group of people.
I know. Super Mario is a beloved cultural icon, a part of the fabric of our childhoods. Just like Memin Pinguin is to Mexico?
To me, it's the same blindness, the same offensiveness. And the fact that people will no doubt defend the icon of Super Mario to the death on this and other blogs/boards points to the fact that we all have our cultural blind spots.
It's like when you need to write an organized crime story, just plop in an Italian gangster. Call him "Boss Ronzoni," have him fight Batman, and call it a day. Never mind how many different nationalities are into organized crime these days. "Boss Ronzoni," "Boss Cannoli," "Boss Rigatoni." "Boss Falcone." Take your pick.
Hey, at least Marvel back the old school used to have a little fun with it. Instead of The Mafia, they had...The Maggia!
You want to turn me off to reading a story about Gotham City? Start peppering it with lame-ass cliché Italian gangsters. Please see how much I don't care.
And that's nothing compared to how one of the titans of science fiction decided to be cute on the phone and say to me, in an Italian accent: "that's a bigga pizza pie!" 'Cause you know, he noted that my last name was Italian. I'm sure he thought and still thinks he's the most liberal guy on this or any other planet.
Oh, and before I forget:I hate this fucking film.

Great Glen Water Park is surrounded by magnificent scenery on the shores of Loch Oich, with the wooded hills behind, this park offers an excellent variety of watersports and land based activities, together with the comfort and convenience of holiday lodges.Great Glen is open all year round, the scenery and nearby activity centre make for a perfect destination, whatever the season. There is also good local skiing (from beginners to advanced) on Aonach Mor ski resort nearby.
This park has:Indoor heated poolSauna* and spa bathBar, restaurant and coffee shopChildren's play areaAbseiling*‡Short mat bowls* and Petanque*Table tennis*Body Zorbs*Canoeing and kayaking*‡Clay pigeon shooting*‡Gorge walking*‡Archery*Half size tennis courtMountain biking*Canyoning*‡Quad biking*‡Salmon and trout fishingWhite water rafting*‡4x4 driving*‡
Real reviews, from customers like you.
Very disappointed with quality of on site facilities. Almost no activities on site.
For the money we paid ,the great glen water park was well worth it but a bit too expensive in summer months
If we wanted to use the swimming pool we had to pay £4.00 for a session, the sauna was £6.00 for a session both expensive for the time- and they shut at 4 pm. As we were visiting to go hill walking, and we were not returning until around 4 pm, we did not even have the choice to use them, even if we had been willing to pay. Hence the reduced value for money score and overall rating. If you don't want to use the pool or the sauna, then this is a good value break.
Had a great time! The cottage and surroundings are beautiful! Will book again!
Very relaxing, pool could do with being heated up more. Charging for electricity should be included in cost.
These are very comfortable lodges and an ideal and beautiful setting. Lovely forest trail walks nearby. The situation of these lodges requires transport as they are quite remote. I came by train due to third party member cancelling at last minute and needed to get a taxi there and back which was rather expensive.
Location was beautiful but the staff didn't have a clue how to deal with anything we asked. The facilities let the place down so much and put us off using the swimming pool and restaurant. We spent the Sunday upstairs in the bar to watch the old firm game and not once did any staff ask us if we wanted any drinks. Also we were left upstairs with no heating on and it was freezing. This place has to much potential, it just needs the pool, bar, restaurant, pool table, tennis court etc all updated.
I have been to this park around 10 times over the last 7 years, me and my friend love it up there.great value for money between the 6 of us and a lovely place to get away and have a laugh,cannot fault the place.
Nice location Restaurant dated and the smell of old burnt grease was off putting
Had great time hoping to come back soon
No amenities rude staff and vastly over priced
I booked this holiday for activity trip with my family was disappointed to find out that there was no activities in the winter very disappointed and you should not be advertising activities if there isn't any for new year break on entertainment also was on Hogmanay after that nothing on in bar either.
We had a few issues while we were staying at the lodge and did bring this up on the comments sheet upon departure. The lodges themselves are run down and need some attention for the amount of money you are paying.
We had a great stay, highly recommended

How one group brings kids together from the divided neighborhoods of Beirut to shoot hoops.
BEIRUT — Roger Abouabdo is Lebanese but his aspirations match those of many American teenagers: He dreams one day to play professional basketball. The skinny 14-year-old says his favorite players are Shaquille O'Neal and Kobe Bryant.
"I'd like to do like them, to be an NBA star," he said, taking a break between basketball games to pose for a picture with buddies from his team, called "Killers."
Abouabdo is one of several hundred basketball-loving youngsters shooting hoops on a sunny Saturday afternoon at a tournament in downtown Beirut. It's organized by Gam3, a non-profit organization that seeks to teach kids conflict resolution skills and build character through basketball.
In Beirut's diverse and deeply divided neighborhoods, that's not an easy goal.
Professional basketball in Lebanon has had few virtuous or admirable qualities in recent years. Riot police outnumber fans at basketball games because the sport is so charged with sectarian and political animosity.
Lebanon's 10 professional club teams are owned by, or associated with, political parties, most of which are rooted in one of Lebanon's major religious groups. Lebanon has one of the most diverse populations in the Middle East, with Christians making up about 25 percent of the country and Shiite and Sunni Muslims about 70 percent, along with a sprinkling of minorities.
"There are political parties even in basketball," said Elio Katchadouran, 16, one of Abouabdo's teammates. "There are problems and fighting."
Like soccer hooliganism in Europe, Lebanese fans, rather than players, are typically responsible for the violence.
"The politics of the sport comes out of the fans. They are the ones who scream and shout and get the slogans going and start waving the flags. So that's where the problems arise," said William "Mac" McClenahan, 28, the organizer of Gam3 in Lebanon.
Political conflict and instability in Lebanon have poisoned basketball games here over the last three years. Matches degenerate into chair-throwing riots that spill onto the court, frequently ending the game or forcing police to boot spectators off bleachers and out of the gymnasium.
McClenahan says his organization's goal is to take the political and religious element out of basketball.
"Most clubs and schools and other opportunities to play basketball are all identified with one sectarian party or another party," he said. "So kids who grow up playing basketball, and who get good playing basketball, generally do that through political and sectarian institutions."
"The idea of Gam3 is that we're not identified with any side, we're the opposite," he said. "We are identified with all the people of Lebanon."
McClenahan wrote his master's thesis on the history of basketball in Lebanon. He says American missionaries brought the game to the tiny Mediterranean country in the early 20th century. University and regional teams sprang up around the country and morphed into what is now the Lebanese Basketball Federation, consisting of 10 professional teams. One team, Sagesse, won the International Basketball Federation's Asian Club Championship in 1999 and 2000, a major achievement for a country of 4 million.
"They were the best team in Asia, against China, against India," McClenahan said. "Those successes were big for even non-basketball fans in Lebanon."
