Reviews for Chicken Wild Rice Soup
Sort By :
"So good! Added course ground pepper, extra veggies and extra rice. Used white wine at the end (instead of the extra chicken broth option), which added extra flavor. I served it with garlic butter biscuits, which were used to sop up any extra broth (YUM!)."
"Way too much liquid. I eliminated the last 1/2 cup of liquid and it was still too thin. Thickened it up a bit with additional flour & water slurry. Prepare all vegies and ingredients ahead of time. Prep goes fairly fast once it starts."
"It was okay, but way too thin of a soup for my liking. I eliminated the additional 1/2 c. of liquid called for near the end and added another can of cream of mushroom soup and a 1/2 c. of minute rice to thicken it up."
"My family enjoyed it!"
"looks like a very healthy dish for what ails you!"

Know of any good trauma/burn books?
0 I am about to transfer to my hospital's(which is a level 1 trauma center) trauma/burn ICU. I've been a nurse for 2 years in a surgical ICU stepdown unit so I was wondering if anyone could give suggestions on books about trauma/burn or critical care in general. It's going to be a little of an adjustment dealing with those patients. Prefereably something not very wordy and easy to understand. Thanks!
0Feb 15, '12 by rndiver82Read Burn Unit: Saving Lives After the Flames by Barbara Ravage. I read this when I was in clinicals at the University of Iowa Burn Unit and it is absolutely FANTASTIC if you want a background on burn care and how much it has evolved over the years. Otherwise, my unit has a great orientation book with tons of information in it. Good luck and I hope you love it. I loved working the burn unit, especially the tub room where we cleaned the wounds. I know that not a lot of people liked that area, but it was great because you really got to see how well the patients would heal. Plus, it felt like I got to work with all the patients instead of only a few.0Mar 7, '12 by rndiver82Burn units are amazing places. I'd love to work at Shriners in Cincinnati, or another strict burn unit. I worked for a little bit at the University of Iowa in their burn unit but the commute became prohibitive. I miss that place like crazy because I loved the tub room where a LOT of the wound care took place.I work trauma now and still volunteer to take the burn patients we get.

Get THE LEGEND OF ZELDA: FOUR SWORDS ANNIVERSARY EDITION For Free Now
By Malik Forté on January 30, 2014
You heard about the PlayStation freebies earlier, now lets move on to some good ol' Nintendo goodies. For the next four days, you can get The Legend Of Zelda: Four Swords Anniversary Edition free of charge.
Using the tagline "4 Swords, 4 Free, 4 Days Only," Nintendo Of America re-released the free download on the eShop today, and it will be available through February 2nd at 11:59 PT. The free game is only available for download in the U.S. as far as we know, and, unlike back in 2011 when the game was offered for free to celebrate the 25th anniversary of The Legend Of Zelda, it's absent from the DSi Shop this time, so DSi owners won't be able to take part in the festivities.
Four Swords is probably one of the funnest multiplayer Zelda experiences you're going to find out there, so I'd recommend that anyone with a 3DS who hasn't already done so pick this one up pronto and get some Four Swords action going with your friends.
HT: Nintendo Life
Free? My favorite price.
It is also in Canada
Aww, I only have a DSi.
Wii? Or just WiiU and 3DS?
Which platform? I don't see it in the eShop.
[…] By Malik Forté […]
this is 3ds only
Why not in the uk???? )=
Ha, I got this, too bad stupid Europeans. You're getting Mario Deluxe so stop whining.

What's New
Bug fixes.App Description
It's multiplayer YOU DON'T KNOW JACK! And your phones are the controllers!"YOU DON'T KNOW JACK Party singlehandedly justifies the investment in Apple's AirPlay ecosystem" - Mobile Syrup
Note: This app requires multiple devices or an Apple TV to play.
1)On your TV – connect your iPhone or iPad to your Apple TV via Airplay. Then use your iPhones or iPads as controllers.*
2)On your iPad or iPhone – use your device as the screen that everyone watches, while using (different) iPhones or iPads as controllers.*
* Download the JackPad app separately to use your iPhone or iPad as a controller. For single-player games, you can play on your Apple TV and use your device as the controller, without the JackPad app.
That's right, "the greatest quiz-show game ever made" according to The Onion's A.V. Club can now be played as it was meant to be played: with friends, on your couch, with several pizzas, and beverages scattered about, and a rabbit that snuck in, and some work-release prisoners in the audience, with soothing jazz playing in the background, and the scent of vanilla coriander cinnamon candles in the air, while everyone wears those inflatable sumo wrestler costumes. Or… however you like to party. That's just a suggestion.
YOU DON'T KNOW JACK Party highlights:
- Play with 1-4 players!
- Airplay the game to your TV!
- Use your iPhones and iPads as wireless controllers!
- Screw Your Neighbors and force them to answer! That's right – the Screw is back.
- Multiple-Choice Questions, DisOrDats, and mind-spinning Jack Attacks!

It's the comedy trivia game where HIGH CULTURE and POP CULTURE collide. Covering everything from sharks to sharts, YOU DON'T KNOW JACK is the only trivia game that makes you laugh and think at the same time. And sometimes vomit a little.
So grab some friends, or friend, or imaginary friend, and play YOU DON'T KNOW JACK Party today. Unless you don't have an iPad, iPhone, or TV. In which case, we suggest backgammon with your cat.
(P.S. If you don't have an Apple TV but you do have the Apple Digital AV Adapter, that will work too!)

Well, .iso files are not video files, but a convenient way to store a whole iso file system into a single file. You can mount any iso file using mount. For example, if the file is called "disk-image.iso" you can do this to mount it into a terminal:
Code:mkdir iso_dir mount -o loop -t iso9660 disk-image.iso iso_dir
Note that:
1.- this will only work assuming that the iso is a standard iso, some programs like to break starndards and I am not going deep into that
2.- I have never used a blueray disk, and I have no idea about the image and video formats these disks uses. The steps I told you are the previous preparation to be able to acess the files on the image, you then need a way to convert them, or if the format is acceptable, just copy them elsewhere to extract them from the iso image
As a rule of thumb (which is not always true) if mplayer can play the files, then mencoder most times should be able to envode them in whichever other format you need.

I'm planning on collecting enough wort for two three gallon batches and boiling them side by side with maybe 30 minutes difference for cooling. My ideas so far are: APA and CDA (cold steeping dark grains over night and adding to boil) Rye PA and Rye IPA Witbier and white IPA I'd like to try using some WLP001 I washed so in leaning more towards the first two. But does anyone else have any suggestions? Maybe single hop ales? Suggestions or advice would be awesome.
Are you planning to mix/blend the beers, or just brewing two batches at a time? Either way, I vote APA and CDA

Seperate beers. I'll post my recipes later when I'm not on my phone. I found some rye oatmeal at the grocery store that I want to try out. So leaning towards that. Do you think the WLP001 cause the hops to over power the rye?

A Germany-based automotive supplier will set up shop later this month at Clemson University Restoration Institute in North Charleston, creating seven jobs initially.
FEV GmBH develops advanced powertrain and vehicle technologies and is one of the first companies to locate in the Energy Systems Innovation Center at the Clemson satellite operation.
The location will provide design, analysis, prototyping and system development for the company. It also plans to develop and test in-vehicle systems and other technologies, including infotainment and telematics, which involves the combination of information and communication technology such as automotive navigation systems.
"The North Charleston facility will provide a great deal of exposure to a wide variety of industries," said FEV Inc.'s acting CEO Dr. Patrick Hupperich. "We believe this is a strategic location that creates an FEV engineering center of excellence in the Southeast to serve our customers in the region. It will also provide a launch point for business development and relationship-building activities with both current and potential customers, including those beyond our traditional service areas, such as aerospace, manufacturing, and advanced materials."
Gov. Nikki Haley hailed the announcement as another example of advanced products being made in South Carolina and used around the globe.
"This research and development center not only provides a boost to the region's innovation sector, but also solidifies South Carolina's place in the nation's manufacturing renaissance," Haley said.
FEV's new site in North Charleston will allow it to be close to customers in South Carolina and the Southeast with its expanding hub of automotive, energy and defense-related companies the company has supported for many years.
It also creates opportunities to explore partnerships with other technology companies that have moved to the area. Operations will begin in late November, following the dedication of the wind turbine drivetrain testing facility and smart grid simulator at the Restoration Institute on Nov. 21.
A Clemson official said the company's decision to locate in North Charleston underscores the value of public-private partnerships between higher education and technology firms.
"This partnership has the potential to grow far beyond this initial commitment," said John Kelly, Clemson University vice president for economic development. "FEV will bring talented engineers to the Charleston region, and we hope this initial step is just the beginning."
The FEV Group employs more than 2,600 people at advanced technical centers on three continents. FEV Inc. has more than 450 employees in its North American Technical Center in Auburn Hills, Mich.

Rubens Barrichellos woes continued at Sahhir on Sunday morning. As team mate Michael Schumacher secured the teams first front-row grid slot of the year, Barrichello was left languishing at the rear of the field after more transmission difficulties on his F2005.
Barrichello started the all-important final qualifying session with an all-new gearbox freshly installed having been specially flown in from Ferraris Maranello headquarters.
The Brazilians lap started well, but his pace then dropped off rapidly in the final sector. He made it across the finish line, but then his car ground to a halt adjacent to the pit lane exit.
Technical director Ross Brawn later confirmed another gearbox problem was the cause of rapidly rising engine temperatures, which had prompted the team to order Barrichello to stop.
Ferrari are now expected to changed the engine on Barrichello's car ahead of the race, as well as reverting to the previous repaired gearbox he used on Saturday. The move will see him demoted to the back of the grid.
This has been a really bad weekend so far, said the luckless Barrichello. Even with a brand new gearbox, I had problems again this morning. Realistically, all I can hope for now is that I can finish the race, which will at least serve the purpose of acquiring more data on the new car.
The consolation for Ferrari was Schumachers second-fastest time, which came despite a far from perfect lap from the world champion. Although his fuel load and the teams race strategy remains unknown, what is certain is that the combination of the new F2005 and improved Bridgestone tyres have brought them much closer to matching the dominant Renault squad.
I must say that the car felt really good with a heavy fuel load, which is something we had already seen in private testing, said Schumacher. On my lap, I made a mistake at Turn 4, which cost me some time, but not enough to have lost me pole. I am happy to be on the front row and am looking forward to a good race.
Fernando Alonso must remain favourite for victory in Bahrain after clinching his second successive pole position for Renault, finishing four tenths clear of Schumacher on aggregate.

Fondamenta Sant'Eufemia
Italy 30133
Tel: 39 041 528 7719
Concierge.com's insider take:
The Giudecca is a strange island, with a jolly resident community of tough old boat builders and dreadlocked types seemingly untouched by the tourism of Venice proper (it's actually just a quick vaporetto ride away). Like any small Italian community, this one has its favorite bars, where residents banter over morning coffee or evening aperitivi. Alla Palanca would be just that—a lively neighborhood bar—except for the fact that it happens to serve one of the best lunches around. At midday, the canal-side tables fill with diners enjoying simple, traditional dishes like squid-ink risotto, spaghetti with mixed seafood, and whatever fresh fish is being thrown on the grill that day. It's good home cooking, at prices that are difficult to beat anywhere else in Venice.
Open Mondays through Saturdays noon to 2:30 pm and 7 to 9 pm.

Sockrat; try a roll with the gear down and see if it differs. It is slightly but no enough to impede judging by the displayed roll rates.
I assume you have the ailerons Y'd so that it wouldn't be dif or servo arm isn't positioned to induce uneven throws top or bottom. Beyond that the only other route is change to functioning tailerons for a greater roll moment. TV in roll helps when thrust is engaged but there are a lot of times that you'd be off the throttle so.... Oh and are your Ail servos working fine? |
Latest blog entry: Freewing 90mm F-16C
Sep 02, 2012, 01:24 PM | ||
If I put a weight on a pole and stuck it on top, it would balance at level, but as you roll, the ail deflection force is less as the roll starts as the weight naturally speeds the roll to invert, and greater to pull that weight back around top. Dihed moves the CG to a lower position rel to AC and as SU said it forces aerodynamic stability like that of a trainer. So with velocity you get an induced effect that's generally not desired for a 3D model. The battery sits above the EDFs, the landing gear and the rest of the fuse so it is expected to some degree. The tailerons position gives it a better moment in roll but induces the offset corkscrew effect being aft and lower. It also varies with neutral to nose heavy with the shift of the battery. All small effects but creating what Sockrat may be observing. V8 love the green wheels. |

My generation grew up mourning the death of Bambi's mother. Now comes "The Lion King," with the death of Mufasa, the father of the lion cub who will someday be king. The Disney animators know that cute little cartoon characters are not sufficient to manufacture dreams. There have to be dark corners, frightening moments, and ancient archetypes like the crime of regicide. "The Lion King," which is a superbly drawn animated feature, is surprisingly solemn in its subject matter, and may even be too intense for very young children.
The film is the latest in a series of annual media events from Disney, which with "The Little Mermaid," "Beauty and the Beast" and "Aladdin" reinvented its franchise of animated feature films. The inspiration for these recent films comes from the earliest feature cartoons created by Walt Disney himself, who in movies like "Dumbo," with the chaining of Mrs. Jumbo, and "Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs," with its wicked stepmother, tapped into primal fears and desires. Later Disney films drifted off into the neverland of innocuous "children's movies," which were harmless but not very exciting. These most recent four animated features are once again true "family films," in that they entertain adults as well as children.
"The Lion King" is the first Disney animated feature not based on an existing story. In another sense, it is based on half the stories in classical mythology. It tells the tale of the birth, childhood and eventual manhood of Simba, a lion cub. The cub's birth is announced in the opening sequence of the movie, called "The Circle of Life," which is an evocative collaboration of music and animation to show all of the animals of the African veld gathering to hail their future king. The cute little cub is held aloft from a dramatic spur of rock, and all his future minions below hail him, in a staging that looks like the jungle equivalent of a political rally.
Of course this coming together of zebra and gazelle, monkey and wildebeest, fudges on the uncomfortable fact that many of these animals survive by eating one another. And all through "The Lion King" the filmmakers perform a balancing act between the fantasy of their story and the reality of the jungle. Early scenes show Simba as a cute, trusting little tike who believes everyone loves him. He is wrong. He has an enemy - his uncle Scar, the king's jealous brother, who wants to be king himself one day.
Villains are often the most memorable characters in a Disney animated film, and Scar is one of the great ones, aided by a pack of yipping hyenas who act as his storm troopers. With a voice by Jeremy Irons, and facial features suggestive of Irons' gift for sardonic concealment, Scar is a mannered, manipulative schemer who succeeds in bringing about the death of the king.
Worse, he convinces Simba that the cub is responsible, and the guilty little heir slinks off into the wastelands. (The movie makes a sly reference to a famous earlier role by Irons. When Simba tells him, "You're so weird," he replies "You have no idea," in exactly the tone he used in "Reversal of Fortune.") It is an unwritten law that animated features have comic relief, usually in the form of a duet or trio of goofy characters who become buddies with the hero. This time they are a meerkat named Timon (voice by Nathan Lane) and a warthog named Pumbaa (Ernie Sabella), who cheer up Simba during his long exile.
The movie has a large cast of other colorful characters, including a hornbill named Zazu (Rowan Atkinson), who is confidant and advisor to King Mufasa (James Earl Jones). And there are the three hyenas (with voices by Whoopi Goldberg, Cheech Marin and Jim Cummings), who are a tumbling, squabbling, yammering team of dirty tricks artists.
The early Disney cartoons were, of course, painstakingly animated by hand. There has been a lot of talk recently about computerized animation, as if a computer program could somehow create a movie. Not so. Human animators are responsible for the remarkably convincing portrayals of Scar and the other major characters, who somehow combine human and animal body language. But computers did assist with several remarkable sequences, including a stampede in which a herd seems to flow past the camera.
Despite the comic relief from the hyenas, the meerkat and the warthog, "The Lion King" is a little more subdued than "Mermaid," "Beauty" and "Aladdin." The central theme is a grim one: A little cub is dispossessed, and feels responsible for the death of its father.
An uncle betrays a trust.
And beyond the gently rolling plans of the great savanna lies a wasteland of bones and ashes. Some of the musical comedy numbers break the mood, although with the exception of "Circle of Life" and "Hakuna Matata," the songs in "The Lion King" are not as memorable as those in "Mermaid" and "Beauty." Basically what we have here is a drama, with comedy occasionally lifting the mood. The result is a surprising seriousness; this isn't the mindless romp with cute animals that the ads might lead you to expect. Although the movie may be frightening and depressing to the very young, I think it's positive that "The Lion King" deals with real issues. By processing life's realities in stories, children can prepare themselves for more difficult lessons later on. The saga of Simba, which in its deeply buried origins owes something to Greek tragedy and certainly to "Hamlet," is a learning experience as well as an entertainment.

Home & Garden: New front yard has many uses
The conventional view of front yards is that they are regarded as public areas. The landscaping consists mainly of a large swath of manicured grass and a collection of shrubs planted along the foundation of the house. Times have changed, and many front yards, especially in new developments, have imaginative designs.
Some homeowners choose to take back the front yard for various reasons.

Caterham F1 sale could be announced this week
© Caterham F1 Team
30 June 2014 by Ryan Wood | M | Tweet
Caterham Group owner Tony Fernandes is believed to have found a buyer for his Formula 1 team following months of speculation about the Leafield-based outfit.
The Malaysian businessman issued a warning at the start of the 2014 season which suggested he may pull out of F1 if Caterham fails to score a point this year - which it's yet to do unlike chief rival Marussia.
"If we're at the back I don't think I'm going to carry on," he said in February. "Nothing is set in stone, but after five years with no points there is a limit to one's patience, money, motivation, etc. So it's an important year."
However the team denied reports of a potential sale in May, insisting they remain committed to the project but are seeking additional investment.
That however seems to have failed, with high-level sources close to the team confirming a sale is in fact on the cards and could be completed and announced as early as this weekend, ahead of the British Grand Prix.
The buyers identity remains anonymous, but it's believed there are four interested parties, with former HRT team principal Colin Kolles the most notable.
The Romanian has been linked with Forza Rossa, a new team which is backed by the Romanian government and has so far failed to convince the FIA that it deserves a place on the grid.
The project could potentially take a major step forward if it purchases Caterham's facility and more importantly, its entry.
Some sources claim that the money is coming from the Middle East and Switzerland however, which would rule Kolles involvement out.
Caterham Cars is not believed to be part of the sale as Fernandes is keen to keep hold of this part of the business which he admitted is going well, unlike the motorsport side.
"F1 hasn't worked, but love Caterham Cars," he tweeted last week.

ABC News' Bret Hovell reports: Senator John McCain, R-Ariz., became the first presidential candidate to qualify for public financing for his campaign Tuesday.
The Federal Election Commission announced McCain is eligible to receive the money, which would be disbursed from the federal treasury.
However McCain campaign spokesman Brian Rogers said no decision has been made about whether the campaign will apply for the matching funds.
"This simply allows us to move forward in the process, should we decide to do that," Rogers said.
To qualify for public matching funds, a presidential candidate must raise $100,000 by collecting $5,000 from any twenty states from contributions totaling no more than $250 each. If the FEC determines that money has been collected, the candidate is eligible to apply for matching funds.
But there's a catch. Public matching funds would be capped, and the candidate would have to abide by spending limits.
The McCain campaign has had money troubles in recent months. During the second quarter of 2007, the campaign spent more money than it raised, and finished the quarter with less than $2 million in the bank when its debts are factored in.
McCain acknowledges his campaign's financial problems, arguing it was a problem with spending rather than raising money, a problem that he says has been fixed.
According to the FEC, Former Vermont Governor Howard Dean was certified to receive matching funds in July of 2003, a month earlier in that cycle than McCain got certified this time around. The former Vermont Governor did not end up taking the federal money.

Why blame everything on India? Is nobody else capable of making any mistake in Kashmir.
Separatist leaders, charity like Al Hadith, financiers who fund stone pelters, forgotten writers like Arundhati Roy, Pakistan based terrorist groups all are blameless. Only the Indians should be blamed for everything, including suffering numerous terrorist attacks across India.
Has this correspondent ever read the basics of journalism or The Economist has outsourced things to some news paper in Pakistan.
This author must be kidding! Anyone with the slightest knowledge of the spectrum of separatists in Kashmir can identify Gilani is the most hardcore Islamist, only slightly left of the terrorist orgs. He actively encouraged stonepelting for publicity only a few months ago, even in face of brutal response by the stupid state government.
Remember, not ONE of the state's considerable minorities has joined this 'Kashmiri' fight. This has nothing to do with Kashmir. It has everything to do with the pan Islamic agenda be pushed by the likes of Gilani in Kashmir and Al Qaeda elsewhere.
There certainly are moderates within the Hurriyat who are justly fighting for Kashmiri rights and to end their suffering at the hands of a repressive army. But Gilani, whose sole fight is to merge Kashmir with Islamic pakistan and enforce Shariat, can hardly be called a "moderate". This betray the lack of insight, or at worst, the biased PR agenda of whoever wrote this well-intentioned by ignorant article.
India might be the world's largest democracy but it still has a long way to go when it comes to respecting its citizens civil liberties, letting them exercise their right to life, education and free speech. Indian-administered Kashmir, apart from being the highest militarised zone, also tops the charts for the highest suicide rate in the world.
Here, under the ambit of draconian laws, detainees (youth and children) are not produced in court and the details of their detention are not recorded officially, giving the forces involved impunity from prosecution. This only serves to further alienate the youth and strengthen the vicious cycles of violence.
These underlying reasons that contribute to a feeling of alienation in the people, are ignored by the mainstream media, leaving the interpretation of the conflict and the reasons behind the recent agitation to the state propagandists, who shift the blame to foreign jihadis and the Pakistani establishment for inciting the population.
The cause of the conflict dates back to the partition of India and Pakistan. In addition, over two decades of unpunished human rights violations by the forces have been justified under the garb of "national interests", thereby fuelling the rage amongst the population who endure the daily humiliations of living in a militarised society.
More importantly, the public opinion formed in India, using manipulative tools of state propaganda, helps the government justify the use of direct violence (later by non-lethal weapons that caused deaths) on unarmed civilians and the blatant use of unconstitutional legal mechanisms that serve as laws that protect the forces who kill civilians at street protests and in custody.
It is high time some Indian told The Economist bluntly: We do not care a hoot what the Brits and the US think or don't think about Kashmir or anything else Indian.
The Brit record in India is vile: about 30 million dead in famines the Brits engineered, including one in 1943 by Churchill which took over three million lives.
The American record in India is vile: three million Hindus slaughtered by its strongly supported Pakistani henchmen in 1971.
So, messieurs, the answer to you is: NO. We will sort out OUR business.
Shallow as the article appears,it only shows that the Economist has lost it's edge in investigative reporting.
Not once, in it's many reports on Kashmir has the magazine sought the views of the Kashmiri Pundits. Never has an article been written on the ethnic cleansing. Of the hundreds of thousands of Hindus who have been uprooted from their ancestral land.
Buck up, Economist. Or get a new editor.
I'm usually quite critical on unwarranted anti-Indian comments, but India needs to get it's act together.
I think we might as well just leave instead of making a fool of ourselves. It really shows the extent to which our democracy is really matured.
So much to say about India's unequal amazing growth rate, there are so many problems that Indians don't think about at a world level.
The problems start with the voters. We've gotta be advocates of democracy - not a pride based political system.
No matter how defensive you get about your country, you've gotta recognize it's flaws.
Horrifying and poor reporting this! How do these unbalanced articles get past the editors desk?
If Barrack Obama, James Cameron, Nicholas Sarkozy, Vladmir Putin Ms Angela Merkel have nothing to complain to India about Kashmir is it not a sign that THERE IS NOTHING WRONG???
India is not a superpower that these countries will keep quiet! Did France and Germany keep quiet when the US invaded Iraq?
Unlike this horrible and biased article, their research is good and backed up with facts and data. The conclusion is this:
Having failed to gain ground through terrorism, Pakistan is now trying a new technique of making the struggle appear indigenous...
But this too shall fail like all of their doomed endeavors.
The question we need to ask ourselves as readers is that if TE can get it wrong here why not in other sections as well? Is TE genuinely a well-informed magazine or a biased, myopic rag?
Yes, that's history though... Holding a grudge isn't your way out these issues and just because the economist isn't reporting at the side that you'd like it to, it doesn't mean that these things are not happening.
It's a shame that educated people aren't open-minded to see the flaws in our democratic structure.
This story is one sided and prejudiced. This is based on Pakistani Intelligent reports. It is an exaggeration that Indian forces resort to repression. Democracy does not mean destruction of public property and killing people at will. Pakistan army recruits uneducated and unemployed youths and send them to Kashmir to foment trouble. US has sent their army to Afghanistan and Iraq, far away places, under the pretext of safeguarding the life and security of their citizens and murdering thousands of innocent men in the process. They justify their action while they blame Indian army when they try to safeguard saftety and security of their own citizens from religious fanatics.
..................... ................... ................... .....
I am quite amused by the Economist's suggestion about what democracies "do".
As to some suggestions that Indian Army are involved in torture are far from the facts. For instance, whenever a Kashmiri youth "throwing stones" is caught by the Indian army he/she is immediately handed to the Kashmiri police. If there is any torture on these poor helpless "Islamic" youths then it can be at best by the local Kashmiri police as per the Islamic law. So I think the Economist should avoid falsely charging the Indian Army time and again.
As per "those" Western leaders why they do not raise the Kashmir issue deliberately because they know that these leaders themselves have no moral right because their own countries are themselves involved in bloody wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. They dare say anything about Kashmir and they know very well that they themselves will get exposed to the murder and slaughter of millions of Iraqis, palestinians, Arabs, Afghans, Turks and so on.
Are these leaders the leaders of the democratic world? I think Barack Obama gave the reply in India by pointing that he will soon withdraw his troops from Iraq and Afghanistan.
.................... .......................... ....................
The Indian Prime Minster Mr Manmohan Singh, only today announced that India would 'concentrate - engage with Indias neigbors' and very surprisingly his list of neigbors does not include Pakistan ! KASHMIR is the most contentious issue between the two countries, and Pakistan wants it resolved and insists that the Kashmiris be a part of the dialogue. There would be no 'insurgency or uprising' in Kashmir only if India were to agree to 'talk to all stake-holders', including Pakistan and Kasmiris.
Kashmir has remained the cockpit of international rivalry ever since India and Pakistan were divided by the colonial powers in 1947, and the poor and innocent people will continue to suffer. Kashmir is of strategic interest to Western powers.
Even former Soviet Union had eyes on Kashmir but Afghanistan proved to be the graveyard of Soviet ambition. Will this be the case for Western powers?
The Indian government's myopia, that extends to many other states in federal India, has exasperated the situation and strengthens the hands of certain Western powers who would like to keep Kashmir on the "boil".
Now poor Kashmiris are caught between the terror unleashed by "militants/terrorists" and the state terrorism. It was the same situation in India's Punjab in the 1980s. In Kashmir the agent provocateurs are as much active as they were in Punjab then.
Punjab situation was salvaged because the Sikhs, peasants and intelligentsia, finally understood the cunning game being played by Western powers through Sikhs settled abroad to turn Punjab into an independent state of "Khalistan".
People in Kashmir are caught in a complex situation because of the pan-Islamic considerations and the machinations of the Western powers operated through their puppet -- Pakistan army/government/establishment. (A similar situation exists in Pakistan-Afghanistan border in the NWFP covering Baluchs and Pashtuns.)
My heart goes out to the wonderful and freedom loving peoples of Kashmir, Baluchistan and Pashtuns who are under attack.
Is ecomomist surpassing goebbels ?
Economist claim's that Hindus are unmolested, and Hindu pilgrims are not harmed. This is a big lie. The truth is Hindu Pandit genocide happened in 1990's driving out 500,000 kashmiri pandits from their homeland. More-over, Attacking pilgrim tents and Massacre of Hindu pilgrims is a recurring theme. On August 2nd 2000, 105 pilgrims were murdered by terrorist who attacked a pilgrim tents. In fact, The very first demand of current crop of stone pelters and their leader Syed Ali Shah Geelani on May 2009 was "Do not allot few acre of land to construct safe camp for Pilgrims".
Economist claim's "Peaceful protests are prevented". The fact is most protests are extremely violent with protesters raining stones and molotov cocktails. As a result, Several dozen police men has been injured.
Economist has conveniently replaced FACTS with politically correct fiction.
Whatever the hot-spot it may be, fair reporting requires that some of the stories journalists pick up within the first few hours of their visit have to be verified. It seems they don't stay for long, I am not sure why not?
In Kashmir, journalists who turn up, are often 'guided' by a number of individuals who are planted by the separatists. I understand that unlike in China, there is no India government 'handler' invariably accompanying journalists visiting Kashmir.
None of The Economist's essays that I have read on Kashmir, has ever looked into the 'Pakistan angle'. It has been reported in the Indian media only once that Mr.Gilani was told by his fellow Hurriyat Conference party leaders: "We have all stopped taking money from Pakistan. You have not."
The Economist also needs to investigate what percentage of Kashmiri Muslims of the valley are hoping to become part of Pakistan? What percentage would want to be independent, knowing that they won't last for long as an independent entity.
Has The Economist bothered to find out what happened to 400,000 Kashmiri Hindus since the 1970s? What happened to nearly 500 Hindu Temples in the Kashmir area? The Economist finds it worthwhile to mention the dropping of religious books on the floor. I hope they would be sensitive to some of the questions I have raised above, which also relate to a religion???!!!
The Economist may also wish to review a translation of a book on the medieval history of Kashmir -- KASHINATH PANDIT, "The Chronicle of a Sufi in Medieval Kashmir - Samsuddin Araki" (Not the exact title but a description), published by Ocean India, New Delhi.
This Sufi Araki man faithfully records each and every Hindu Temple he had destroyed and each and every mosque he had built at the VERY SAME SPOT where the Temples had stood for centuries.
The past cannot be left out of descriptions of the present troubles in Kashmir. It should be mentioned that it was the last Viceroy of the Raj and the first Governor General of 'Dominion' India, Lord Mountbatten, who steered Kashmir's legal accession to India. I believe he may have also suggested to Nehru to let the one-third of Kashmir stay with Pakistan to stave off any future wars - perhaps, his intention was good. He may have thought of it as the 'partitioning' of Kashmir between Pakistan and India.
Nehru may have agreed with Mountbatten for the simple reason that Jammu and Ladakh were, still are, majority Hindu and Buddhist. Thus, only the Kashmir valley, with its majority Muslim population would be in India. The rest of the majority Muslim areas would have gone to Pakistan.
The future too cannot be left out of discussions of the present troubles in Kashmir.
It is not just India any longer, that wishes to see no change in the status quo. Western powers, and China too, it seems to me who wish to see no change in Kashmir.
Most of their calculations are 'Asia Strategic'. China may find one more new Islamic country on its border a troublesome prospect. Pakistan, she has in her 'pocket'. Can China put Kashmir also in its 'pocket'? Would the USA and Russia remain indifferent to that? Would India be indifferent?
For India, WATER has also become a crucial asset. The 20% of the headwaters India is entitled to in that area will be crucial in the future.. India has invested too many young lives of her soldiers in keeping access to this area secure. Sia chen is occupied by India for this reason also.
Western powers would NOT want India's Economy to wither away because of a few Islamic separatists in the Valley. India matters more today in the West's strategic calculations of their own interests.
The Group of Three Mediators are yet to report their findings. But Indian media has come up with a rather surprising finding by this Group.
It seems Kashmiris from districts right on the LoC with Pakistan, have made it clear they want to remain part of India. I am not entirely sure what motivates them to say so. Perhaps, they know the 'reality' of life over the other side - the side The Economist has never bothered to investigate. As one Indian journalist, Puri, who has visited Mazzaffarabad had written in the Times of India, this other side is "Neither Kashmiri Nor Azadi (free)" (meaning people over there are more Dogri than Kashmiri and the 'government' there is more like a 'door mat' for Islamabad.
In the border districts of Indian Kashmir, people may also know about the 'reality' of freedom fighters wanting 'Two hour marriages' with their daughters. Islam or no Islam they want they girls as they pass through during their Jihad.
So, The Economist and other Western journalists may find that the 'reality' of Kashmir is rather more complicated than putting India on the spot for disturbing peaceful Kashmiri households.
I think Kashmiri's do not have an option to go independent or join Pakistan. If it is the former then it will become a battleground between India and Pakistan and if they choose the latter.umm..we all know what's gonna happen then. They need to be a bit more patient and the Indian Government needs to act fast and bring about rapid development there before it turns uglier.
As far as Arundhati Roy is concerned the Indian Government is being soft on her despite her provocative comments which have been sweetly worded in the above article. What if she were a Chinese citizen and made a similar comment on Tibet?
The first step in taking Kashmir into confidence would be to repeal the Armed Forces Special Act or make it much more humane by deleting certain provisions..Hope it works..
Lets not forget that many of these "police" who have used torture etc are Kashmiri's themselves, working in the police force and probably Muslims too. Not sure why Kashmir incident is getting any coverage in the "west". We have had such incidents in many parts of India like Darjeeling agitation in 1980s, ULFA problems in Assam in 80s.
That is why nobody cares about these "little" protests in India. After all no people in India from other states are planning to settle in Kashmir in the near future. Kashmiri's have to sort out there own problem, just like the rest of India has done in the framework of Indian constitution etc, or get ready to get the boot, like many millions gets all over the world.
Indian armed forces has become more disciplined in the 21st century. Am not hearing much rape stories from Kashmir. Batton these scumbags. Am sure ordinary Kashmiri's doesnt want these unemployed youths creating problems too.
If Economist calls this "repressive", what is the term they have used for "Tibet"....:)
I think India Govt has not even used 10% of its repressive power. Baton these guys and cripple them and kill few of them, I suggest. That will teach others lesson. If other nation even mentions about this (if they have the guts, that is), point our Nuclear Submarines to them and tell them to go to hell.
People of Kashmir do not consider themselves as Indian. You can't buy love. Period

Re: 1973 Tartan rudder
The marine architect firm of Sparkman & Stephens is still living.
S&S designed the T30 among many other boats.
There are some design/build "type plans" on their website if you dig deep enough.
Yacht Design - Type Plans
I didn't see the rudder build details you are looking for. You can contact them by phone; they may sell you the original rudder build plans - for a price.
Generally though, the rudder on the T30 is a skeg hung rudder as opposed to a spade rudder which has no skeg to protect it from submerged objects.
Rudders are almost always foam core filled that are attached to the shaft by a series of horizontal SS straps that are welded to the rudder shaft. The rudder is built over these straps once securely welded.
Sounds like your "straps" rusted out at the welds allowing the rudder to fall completely off the shaft. You will need a good welder if not a new rudder shaft.

After ignoring repeated requests to appear in a court case challenging the Pakistan government's year-long YouTube blackout, the country's elusive IT minister is expected to appear at a hearing later this month to outline plans to drop the blanket ban — and instead selectively restrict "blasphemous" and "offensive" material on the video-sharing site.

ION Launches Calypso Seabed Seismic System
June 4, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- ION Geophysical Corporation (NYSE: IO) today announced the launch of Calypso
™, its next generation redeployable seabed acquisition system. Leveraging ION's industry-leading VectorSeis® digital sensors to deliver the same unrivaled broadband imaging, Calypso is designed to operate at twice the depth and to deliver twice the operational efficiency of its predecessor system, VectorSeis Ocean (VSO).
The seabed seismic market has grown over 250% in the last five years, with over $300 million in contracts awarded in the first quarter of 2012 alone. Prompting this tremendous growth is seabed seismic's ability to deliver superior image quality and operate in areas of dense infrastructure. Yet, despite its increasing popularity, seabed seismic still represents a relatively small percentage of total marine seismic projects, largely due to historically high costs and long cycle times relative to towed streamer acquisition. ION's new Calypso system has the potential to mitigate both barriers to wider adoption by doubling cable lengths and productivity while significantly expanding operating depths.
Since 2004, ION's seabed acquisition systems have delivered the highest quality seismic data on numerous projects worldwide, including in the Gulf of Mexico, North Sea, Caspian Sea, Middle East, offshore Brazil and West Africa. ION's next generation Calypso system leverages ION's award-winning VectorSeis sensor to provide the same superior imaging as VSO, but with step-change improvements in efficiency, operating depths, and flexibility:
- Tilt-insensitive multicomponent (4C) VectorSeis sensors record broad bandwidth seismic data with superior vector fidelity, capturing richer frequency content at both the low- and high-frequency ends of the spectrum.
- Buoy-based recording eliminates the operational expense and complexity of dedicated recording vessel(s).
- An unlimited number of cables with twice the length (12-24 km) dramatically increases productivity and shortens cycle time.
- The newly designed rugged system excels in water depths from 5 to 2,000 meters, providing flexibility to work in the most challenging fields and conditions.
Tim Rigsby, Vice President of Seabed at ION, commented, "ION has been committed to expanding the adoption of full-wave seabed imaging since introducing our first ocean bottom cable system, VSO, in 2004. Our goal has been to provide our clients with the superior imaging benefits of ocean bottom cable systems, at a price point closer to that of towed streamer acquisition. Calypso is a step-change in that direction."
