Turkey Soup – from your home made Turkey BrothNovember 29, 2013 | by Diana
So you've cooked those turkey bones and created the wonderful Turkey Broth, now what. Here's a 30 minute (or less) recipe for one of those work or run out quick nights. The key to making it quick is to cut the pieces small enough that they will cook quickly, while at the same time a it needs to be a nice size tasty morsel in your mouth. You can swap out the veggies for ones you like better and customize it. Crusty whole grain bread with some nice butter would go well with this.
- 2 tbs olive oil
- 1 onion diced
- 1 garlic clove smashed, diced
- 1 turnip peeled, diced
- 2 carrots, peeled diced
- 4 cups broth
- 6 – 8 small potatoes peeled (or not) and diced
- 1 cup turkey diced
- Salt
- Pepper
- Parsley
- Sage
Heat Olive Oil in Pan. Sauté Onions, garlic, turnips and carrot. When they seem almost al dente, add the broth. After the broth heats to a simmer, add in the turkey and potatoes. Throw in the herbs. When the potatoes are the correct texture it's ready.
Easy Peasy, well it would be if there were peas. You can add them if you like.
Citrusy Tequila TurkeyNovember 26, 2013 | by Diana
Thanksgiving is the big kahuna of family meals so when you invite your family or your in-laws to your Thanksgiving dinner, it had better be good. I remember going to my sister-in-law's and how they tormented her about whether her turkey would be dry. I felt so bad for her, but she was used to it, growing up with 5 brothers who show no mercy. In our family the women were the forced to be reckoned with, so the dynamic was more of encouragement. Either way, it's nerve wracking to try and come up with a dinner that everyone will be tasting, so I'm sharing an interesting twist on turkey using one of my favorite ingredients – Tequila. This is a sweet citrusy turkey with a little tequila kick for your Thanksgiving Dinner. I hope your Thanksgiving dinner brings you a great family meal whether or not you have a Citrusy Tequila Turkey. Feel free to pare down the ingredient amounts based on using a smaller turkey, since this recipe is for a huge one.

Butternut Squash with a Maple Bourbon GlazeNovember 25, 2013 | by Diana
It's just the two of us now, and some nights it's difficult to want to cook. All summer I could call my kids and tell them to start dinner. Now they're both gone, we are tired , the pets need to be fed, and we don't want to think about preparing a meal. I think sometimes it's more difficult to cook for two; it's easier to think about just skipping it and going for the ice cream. On the night my husband wasn't home, I made myself an egg sandwich, but the next night I was determined to provide us with something delicious and nutritious and I wasn't popping it into the microwave, Butternut Squash with a Maple Bourbon Glaze. I had butternut squash and I was going to use it, even if it was too big for two people, yay, we had leftovers too. I think maple and bourbon are very friendly flavors, and on the butternut with a little melted butter they were perfect.
- Butternut squash
- 2 tbs wild turkey bourbon
- 1 tbs maple syrup
- 1 tbs melted butter
Slice the butternut squash in half and scoop out the seeds. Whisk together the butter, the bourbon and the maple syrup. Brush the cut halves with the glaze and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Bake in oven (we actually used the toaster oven) on 400 until you can poke it with a fork and it gives nicely, brushing every so often with the glaze.
Butternut Squash under a Swiss Cheese CrustNovember 25, 2013 | by Diana
I still have butternut squash in my basement, but as the basement warms up, the squash will be in peril. I'm glad they lasted as long as they did, since this is the first year we tried basement storage. Last year we kept the winter squash upstairs, and they didn't last as long. I'm going to make Butternut Squash Under a Swiss Cheese Crust for our family Easter gathering. I made it for dinner one night and my husband was really impressed, so impressed he wants me to make it again. I used curry in the dish to keep it from being too sweet, but also added nutmeg and cinnamon because I love the taste with butternut squash and I also added nutmeg to the cheese sauce. The swiss cheese was hand delivered from Wisconsin. A friend of my husband's brought us back cheese from a recent trip. Isn't it cool to have a friend like that? My favorite prep method for butternut squash is to slice it down the middle, scooping the seeds and pulp out, but leaving the meat behind. Then it is brushed with olive oil, and placed cut side down in a glass pan. It goes into the oven at about 350 and bakes until a knife slides in easily. Ingredients:
- 1 butternut squashed prepped(see above)
- 1/2 cup half & half
- 1 tsp curry
- 1 tsp nutmeg -grated
- 2 tsp cinnamon
- 2 tbs butter
- 2 tbs flour
- 1 cup half & half
- 1 cup swiss cheese shredded
- 1 tsp nutmeg – grated
Bake butternut squash until soft. Cool and then scoop butternut squash out of the shell into a bowl. Use a mixer to combine the squash milk, nutmeg, cinnamon and curry. Place in a buttered casserole dish. In a small saucepan melt butter and whisk in flour. Slowly whisk in cold milk until smooth. Take off heat and whisk in the cheese. Spread cheese sauce over top of the squash (add more cheese if you need a thicker consistency). Bake in oven at 350 until cheese starts to brown and crusty.
Turkey RoastingNovember 15, 2013 | by Diana
Turkey is one of the easiest things to cook, the main problem is taking it out on time so that it stays moist and tender. To that end, pay attention to roasting times and pop up thermometers. Get a meat thermometer and make sure you check the temp with that after the pop up – pops to be sure. Follow these suggestions for a wonderful tasting roasted turkey for your Thanksgiving (or even not Thanksgiving) bird.
- Defrost your turkey. You'll need to keep it in the fridge for a few days in order for it to defrost. It takes longer with the giblet packet inside, so as soon as you can, take it out. If you didn't leave enough time to defrost it totally, you will need to submerge your sealed Turkey in a big pot or sink full of cold water. Change the water every 1/2 hour. Whatever you do, put your arm all the way through from one end of the turkey to the other and make sure you get every single one of those giblet parts out.
- Turkey Brining – I talked about it here . Martha Stewart has a brining recipe if you want to make it yourself. Rinse turkey well and pat dry.
- Stuff the turkey – I like to cook my stuffing in a baking dish in the oven. If you like it in your turkey, then by all means stuff it. Add some cooking time in for the stuffing.
- Season the turkey – If you don't have stuffing inside, throw in some garlic and herbs. Rub butter or olive oil over the skin of the turkey and throw some of your favorite herbs on top. Salt, pepper, sage, thyme. I throw onions and a little garlic in the side of the pan too.
- Cooking – My mom roasted the turkey in a Roasting Pan with an aluminum foil tent. My husband's mom used a roasting bag and then in a pan. I use an electric Roasting Pan. My husband under the familiar protest that you don't get your wife cooking gear for Christmas bought me one because I asked. I love it because I can keep the oven free for other things. I have tried with success cooking the turkey upside down for some of the time to let the juices travel better to the breast. Put the turkey in and leave it. Every time you open the oven it makes the oven heat up all over again.
- Timetable – From the Good Housekeeping Cookbook that I got as a wedding gift over 21 years ago.
Suggested temp 325 degrees.
8 – 12 lbs 3 1/2 – 4 hours
12 – 16lbs 4 – 4 1/2 hours
16 – 20 lbs 4 1/2 – 5 hours
20 – 24 lbs 5 – 6 hours
Subtract a half hour if it is unstuffed.
- Remove foil or bag for the last half hour of cooking to let the turkey brown.
- Let the turkey rest for a half hour before serving so that the juices settle.
- Make giblet gravy or any other gravy that you prefer.
- Carve and eat.
Another method of cooking a turkey is deep frying. However, any type cooking directions that includes keeping a fire extinguisher nearby makes me shake my head. I've heard it's really good that way though and very moist.
For Big Green Egg lovers, here are directions to cooking a turkey on the BGE.
Of course, if you wait too long and you're too tired, or you have to work, or you just don't want to spend all day cooking or working on a turkey.. there's always the supermarket pre-ordered, pre-cooked ready for pick up.
This is an updated repost from 2008.
Trapping Fruit Flies with Vinegar (or Fruit Fly Vinegar Jar)October 4, 2013 | by Diana
Fruit fly season is the worst time of the year. If you have a piece of fruit or vegetable sitting out, those darned flies will find it and you know you don't want to refrigerate your tomatoes, because they will taste nasty. So, how do you trap the fruit flies and keep them away from your produce? With a fruit fly trap – or a fruit fly vinegar jar.
My daughter saw an idea for a fruit fly trap that used a jar, a paper cone, apple cider vinegar and dish soap. So, I've been trying different variations to see what made a difference and worked, and what didn't.
- Vinegar alone works just fine. Don't waste your precious dishsoap, plain vinegar – in fact any kind of vinegar works. We used apple cider the most but plain white worked too.
- A wide mouth with a cone works well. The cone gives a wide opening for the fruit fly to find it's way in, but the narrow opening prevents them from leaving. When I used a small mouthed bottle, the flies never found their way into the bottle. Large bowls are very inviting, but you need to find a way to keep them from escaping.
- Fruit is the enemy when it comes to trapping the fruit flies. If there are any other attractants in the vicinity, the competition will keep the flies away. So, clean up any fruit making sure to remove any that have a slight crack or peel. That will actually solve most of your problem, but you may still have some flies, without fruit around they will find your vinegar jar.

Rice's OpenStax College will add 10 new titles by 2017
Printer-friendly versionPDF version
Supporters give $9.5 million to expand catalog of free college textbooks
HOUSTON — (Aug. 25, 2014) — Rice University-based publisher OpenStax College today announced $9.5 million in philanthropic grants from the Laura and John Arnold Foundation (LJAF), Rice alumni John and Ann Doerr and the William and Flora Hewlett Foundation to add 10 titles to its catalog of free, high-quality textbooks for the nation's most-attended college courses by 2017.
OpenStax College founder Rich Baraniuk displays some of the publisher's free textbooks. OpenStax College is creating free books for 25 of the most-attended college courses in the country.
OpenStax College uses philanthropic gifts to produce high-quality, peer-reviewed textbooks that are free online and low-cost in print. Its first seven books have already saved students more than $13 million. The books have been downloaded more than 650,000 times and have been adopted for use in nearly 900 courses at community colleges, four-year colleges, universities and high schools. OpenStax College has four titles in production for next year and plans to expand its library to 21 titles by 2017. The additional funding will allow the nonprofit publisher to develop textbooks for additional high-enrollment courses, including several science and mathematics courses.
"Our books are opening access to higher education for students who couldn't otherwise afford it," said Rice Professor Richard Baraniuk, founder and director of OpenStax College. "We've already saved students millions of dollars, and thanks to the generosity of our philanthropic partners, we hope to save students more than $500 million by 2020."
The new gifts mark the latest chapter from three longtime supporters of Rice's open educational resources (OER) efforts.
"Rice takes pride in being a leader in using technology in new ways to broaden access to education," Rice University President David Leebron said. "We're very grateful to the Laura and John Arnold Foundation, John and Ann Doerr and the William and Flora Hewlett Foundation for enabling OpenStax College to provide a library of more than 20 free high-quality titles to college and university students and faculty around the world."
Rice University-based publisher OpenStax College today announced $9.5 million in philanthropic grants to add 10 titles to its catalog of free, high-quality textbooks for the nation's most-attended college courses by 2017.
LJAF's $6 million grant brings its total contribution to OpenStax to more than $18 million. The $3 million grant from Rice engineering school alumni John and Ann Doerr continues more than a decade of their support for Rice's educational efforts. The Hewlett Foundation's $500,000 contribution — its 14th OER grant to Rice in 12 years — brings its total support for Rice OER to nearly $11 million.
"OpenStax College is expanding its reach, giving more students an opportunity to access free textbooks for the most popular college courses," said LJAF Director of Venture Development Kelli Rhee. "This is critically important, as no one should have to forgo learning or struggle to make ends meet due to the high cost of traditional textbooks. We are pleased to support OpenStax in its efforts to help make college more affordable for students across the U.S."
Ann Doerr said, "We are honored to support the important work of OpenStax. Our nation's future depends upon students achieving at the highest level, and one way to unleash a student's potential is to ensure access to affordable, high-quality textbooks and learning materials."
Hewlett Foundation Program Officer TJ Bliss said, "We're pleased that the Hewlett Foundation's support will allow OpenStax College to expand the size of its catalog and bring the benefits of open educational resources to students across the country and around the world."
OpenStax's other philanthropic supporters include the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, the 20 Million Minds Foundation, the Maxfield Foundation, the Calvin K. Kazanjian Foundation and the Leon Lowenstein Foundation.
Earlier this month, OpenStax announced its first project for K-12 education, a $9 million effort to develop free, digital textbooks capable of delivering personalized lessons to high school students.

Browncoats rejoice: Firefly is returning to basic cable — and Nathan Fillion has something to say about it.
The Science Channel has acquired the rights to the cult-hit and will air the series in its short-lived entirety, plus some new extras. Science Channel will wrap each episode with interstitial segments starring renowned physicist Dr. Michio Kaku, who will discuss the theoretical science behind the show's sci-fi concepts.
According to Firefly studio 20th Century Fox, this will mark the first time Firefly has aired on a fully distributed basic cable channel since 2008, when it ran on USA Network.
In honor of this occasion, star Nathan Fillion took a brief break from shooting ABC's Castle today to jump on the phone and answer five Firefly questions — including whether he'd ever reprise the role of Captain Mal again. That interview and more details about Science Channel's Firefly plans below:

March 30, 2015
It's not the first time officers have been to 49 Lantana Lane.
Sunday, three people were arrested at that address for what police say was an active meth lab.
Around 6:45 Sunday night, several local law enforcement agencies executed a search warrant at 49 Lantana Lane in South Parkersburg.
Police say two people inside the trailer had active felony warrants out for their arrest.
Investigators say as they moved through the home they found a meth lab in a bedroom.
They say they also found evidence of another meth lab in an outbuilding on the property.
Police arrested Kendra Pryor, Ronald McMillan and Tonda Warner at the trailer.
All three are charged with operating or attempting to operate a clandestine drug lab in relation to Sunday night's investigation.
Pryor was also arrested on an outstanding warrant for the same charge.
McMillan was out on bond after police say he was charged in a drug bust at the same address in mid-July.
Warner had two outstanding warrants for two counts of forgery and two counts of uttering.
"Once we did a more detailed search of the residence we discovered a meth lab in one of the bedrooms, so at this point at least three people are going to be charged with the manufacturing of meth, including the homeowner who was apparently permitting meth to be cooked here," says Parkersburg Police Sgt. Greg Collins.
All three were arraigned in Wood County Magistrate Court and did not post bond.
They'll be taken to the North Central Regional Jail.

"Bill makes lint interesting"

Getting to know the inventors and the innovations by story telling helps remember them and keeps your interest. I love everything Bill writes. He is my number one author.
"Manly Man book"

Sir Alex Ferguson is looking for his Manchester United side to secure qualification to the next stage of the Champions League as quickly as possible and give him an opportunity to give veteran defender Rio Ferdinand a well-earned rest.
The England international turns 34 this week and has long suffered with knee and back problems that have limited his appearances in recent years. However, injuries to Nemanja Vidic, Chris Smalling and Phil Jones have meant that Ferdinand has been forced to take the field more often than not so far this season for the Red Devils.
However, according to the Daily Mail, with Smalling and Jones now set to return from the sidelines and Man United just needing a point away in Portugal against Braga to seal passage through to the last 16, Ferguson is keen for an opportunity to rotate his squad.
"The game in Braga will give me a chance to utilise my squad. I'll be making some changes," said the 70-year-old.
"If we can get the win it's better, but we want to make sure we qualify first. If we do, it gives me options to utilise Smalling and Jones. Then we can make sure that Ferdinand is fresh for all these games. I won't have to worry about playing him Saturday, Wednesday, Saturday, Wednesday."
Ferdinand, who has been at Old Trafford since the summer of 2002, made only 32 appearances between August 2009 and May 2011 but has recovered to become a near ever-present over the last two campaigns.

Torri Tillman could hear the whispers when he stepped on the track.Fans pointed fingers, opposing coaches scrutinized, his opponents cautioned to compete against the Peachtree Ridge athlete. "I really didn't let it get to me," Tillman said. "I just concentrated executing my races and my events. Really, it didn't affect me at all. I guess you could say it sort of fueled me. I didn't want to do bad so they could talk about me." All County Track and Field Runner of the year: Josh Brickell, Peachtree Ridge, Soph.

But by the time the state meet rolled around last month, Tillman was the focus of the conversations for other reasons after he put together the best performance at the Class AAAAA meet. He won the state championship in the long jump to earn Daily Post Field Performer of the Year honors, adding a state title in the 100-meter run and a runner-up finish in the 200 as well. His performance helped Peachtree Ridge to its first Class AAAAA state title. "I just wanted to score a lot of points for the team," Tillman said. "I didn't do that good at state as far as my times. They weren't even anything close to my PRs, or anything." Tillman transferred to Peachtree Ridge from North Carolina last March. His eligibility at his previous school was questioned this season, prompting opponents to say he shouldn't be competing. During his ninth-grade year, Tillman went through some rough times and medical issues that kept him from having a ninth-grade year of high school. He had to repeat his freshman year because he was rarely at school. "That year was completely taken away from me for stuff I couldn't control," said Tillman, who spent one more year in North Carolina and then his family moved during the second semester of his junior year. Tillman took third at the state meet in the 200 last year, but by this February, his eligibility was being questioned. He sought a hardship from the Georgia High School Association to allow him to compete this season and the organization granted it to him based on what happened in North Carolina. "The kid really got a bad rap. A lot of people on the Internet were stating their opinions when they really don't know the facts," Peachtree Ridge coach Venson Elder said. "We talked a lot and explained how life is and it was something he had to grow from and become stronger. He stayed focused and did that." Tillman was constantly the talk on Internet message boards and postings on his Facebook page were sometimes even worse. "They think I'm 20, 21 years old," he said. For the record, he turned 19 in December. According the Georgia High School Association, "To be eligible to participate in interscholastic activities, a student must not have reached his 19th birthday prior to May 1st, preceding his year of participation." If a student turns 19 prior to May 1, as Tillman did, the GHSA must grant special permission to compete after a hardship meeting. "I'm really not worried about what people say," Tillman said. "My mom and my dad told me people they are going to be talking. You just can't really focus on that, really. I'm eligible. I'm old, but I'm still young enough to be competing in high school. People are going to talk, but it doesn't bother me really." Tillman showed that on the track. After missing the Gwinnett County meet with a hamstring injury, he came back to win five Region 7-AAAAA championships. That carried over into the state meet. Tillman claimed the long jump crown with a distance of 22 feet, 111⁄4 inches. He won the 100 in 10.69 seconds and was second in the 200 with a time of 21.33. He was also a member of the 400 and 1,600 relay teams that placed sixth and eighth, respectively. All of that helped Tillman score 32 points, making him the top individual scorer at the state meet. "I'm very proud of Torri," Elder said. "I think he matured a lot over the year and I think it's going to help him in the long run." Tillman could probably thank his parents for a lot of his success. His father John competed for the U.S. in the triple jump in the 1992 Olympics in Barcelona. His mother Dawn was the NCAA record holder in the 100 and 200 while at LSU. "He has a good blueprint to follow," Elder said. Tillman will take his talents to the University of South Carolina next season. It will be a fresh start for him. No more whispers and accusations from fans. Just a clean slate and a chance to follow in his parents' footsteps. "That would be nice. I'm not gonna lie, that would be pretty cool if I did that," Tillman said. "I just want to get faster, I want to improve. I just like to improve my marks and times."

President Barack Obama's State of The Union address tonight is not only expected to reflect his very publicized gun control and immigration agenda, but it will also refocus his economic and job creation priorities.
Referring to the tragedy in Newtown as a "call to action," U.S. Sen. Richard Blumenthal, D-Conn., said Monday that he hopes Obama doesn't just endorse gun control in his speech, but also "strongly make the case" for a ban on assault weapons and high capacity magazines.
Sen. Chris Murphy, D-Conn., also mentioned the need for Obama to "challenge both parties in Congress to step up to the plate, take on the powerful gun lobby(ists) and do what the American people want us to do."
On immigration, Blumenthal said he wants Obama to discuss "reform in a way that indicates that it will be at the forefront of his agenda." He hopes that the President's plan would include a path to citizenship, stronger border control, streamlining the immigration process, and "a crackdown" on employers of illegal workers.
U.S. Rep. Joe Courtney, D-2nd, acknowledged a general feeling of "guarded optimism" towards the economy and job growth, but also stressed that there is more to be done. He attributed some of the nation's economic troubles to "nervousness" about Washington. Blumenthal also noted "an obstacle to economic recovery is the uncertainty and unpredictability that comes from Washington itself," citing the sequester as an example.
Courtney said Connecticut's "faltering" economy could be seen very clearly in everything from homebuilders, to real estate, to car sales.
Blumenthal said the unemployment issue in Connecticut is even more pronounced in the state's large veteran population. He said addressing issues such as skill training, education, health care, increased manufacturing and homelessness will work towards raising employment.
Blumenthal also said that closing tax loopholes, spending responsibly and protecting and strengthening Medicare will benefit the economy overall.

Prodigy avoid TV
The Prodigy don't want to play live on TV because they think it's too restrictive.
The Prodigy have vowed never to perform on TV.
The dance music group's leader Liam Howlett doesn't think the atmosphere of a studio recorded show suits his band's spontaneous style of performance.
He said: "We'll never perform on TV - that's just watering it down."
His bandmate, vocalist Maxim Reality, added: "TV's not real to us. Being in front of 250 people cordoned into a studio, told where to dance - it's not a real performance."
Keith Flint, 40, the band's other vocalist, explained the audience is an integral part of Prodigy's live experience, and helps turn their shows into an "explosion".
He said: "We suck off the crowd and spit it back. They ignite and we're the fuel, but they're also the fuel. Together we're volatile, and then there's an explosion."
The 'Omen' ravers added they don't think they're too old to be creating and performing energetic dance music.
Liam, 37, added: "We don't think about getting old. We aren't now, and that's good enough for me."
Maxim, 42, said: "From our very first show we've always lived for the moment. It's either being with these guys or being at home."
Prodigy's latest album, 'Invaders Must Die', is available now.

Article: Primary Uterine Müllerian Mucinous Borderline Tumor (MMBT) Associated With Adenomyosis: A Case Report.[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Müllerian mucinous borderline tumors (MMBTs) usually arise from the ovary. The present report is the first case of primary uterine MMBTs associated with adenomyosis. A 51-year-old woman was referred to our hospital for a complex cystic and solid 4×3 cm right adnexal mass. She had a history of a left ovarian endometriotic cyst and had undergone a left oophorectomy 2 yr prior. A laparotomy was performed, and the tumor was found to be originating in the posterior wall of the uterus. She underwent a total abdominal hysterectomy, right salpingo-oophorectomy, and left salpingectomy. Microscopically, the solid portion of the tumor contained papillary proliferations of glands, which were covered by a mucinous epithelium with mild to moderate nuclear atypia, accompanied by stromal infiltration of inflammatory cells. Islands of adenomyosis were also observed around the cyst. These pathologic findings were similar to the features of ovarian MMBT. We diagnosed this tumor as a uterine MMBT, probably arising from adenomyosis.International journal of gynecological pathology: official journal of the International Society of Gynecological Pathologists 01/2014; DOI:10.1097/PGP.0b013e318288b364 · 2.07 Impact Factor
Article: Ovarian Transitional Cell Carcinoma Represents a Poorly Differentiated Form of High-grade Serous or Endometrioid Adenocarcinoma.[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Ovarian transitional cell tumors include Brenner tumors (BTs) and transitional cell carcinoma (TCC; non-BTs) according to the most recent World Health Organization classification. However, it remains a matter of debate whether TCC represents a distinct entity or a morphologic variant of high-grade serous adenocarcinoma (HG-SC). The purpose of this study was to resolve the above question by clarifying the morphologic, immunohistochemical, and molecular features of TCC. We reviewed 488 cases of epithelial ovarian carcinomas and reclassified them on the basis of the most recent World Health Organization classification with the modifications proposed by Köbel and colleagues, and 35 cases of TCC were identified; 25 and 6 TCCs were admixed with HG-SC and endometrioid adenocarcinoma (EC), respectively, and the remaining 4 cases were pure TCC. TCC components were not observed in any clear cell carcinomas or mucinous adenocarcinomas. Only 2 cases of malignant BT were identified. In addition to TCCs, malignant BTs, and related adenocarcinomas, benign and borderline BTs were included in the following immunohistochemical and molecular analyses. Immunohistochemically, pure TCCs, TCCs admixed with HG-SC, and pure HG-SCs were characterized by frequent aberrant p53 expression (diffuse or null pattern) and WT1/ER/PR/IMP2 immunophenotype, whereas BTs, including benign, borderline, and malignant BTs, were characterized by lack of aberrant p53 expression and WT1/ER/PR/IMP2 immunophenotype. In contrast to the BTs, pure ECs and TCCs admixed with EC showed an ER/PR immunophenotype. Nearly all the tumors with a TP53 gene mutation by molecular analysis showed aberrant p53 staining patterns. In conclusion, TCC is not a distinct entity but a poorly differentiated form of serous or EC, as (1) most TCCs coexist with HG-SC (mostly) or EC (occasionally), and (2) the immunophenotype and molecular features are similar to those of HG-SC or EC but different from those of BTs.The American journal of surgical pathology 05/2013; DOI:10.1097/PAS.0b013e3182834d41 · 4.59 Impact Factor
Article: "Piling up" clear cells in mullerian-type mucinous and mixed cell-type borderline tumor do not represent concomitant clear cell neoplasms[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: The nature of "piling up" proliferation of clear cells in müllerian mucinous/mixed borderline tumor has not been well characterized. The purpose of this study was to clarify whether or not such clear cells represent concomitant clear cell neoplasms. First, we carefully reviewed hematoxylin and eosin slides taken from 139 ovarian tumors diagnosed as clear cell carcinoma (112 cases) and müllerian mucinous/mixed borderline tumor (27 cases) to clarify (1) the frequency of piling-up clear cells in müllerian mucinous/mixed borderline tumor and (2) the frequency of the coexistence of typical clear cell carcinoma and müllerian mucinous/mixed borderline tumor. Second, we investigated the immunohistochemical expression of estrogen receptor, hepatocyte nuclear factor-1β, and glypican-3 in proliferating clear cells in both tumors. We identified piling-up clear cells in 56% of müllerian mucinous/mixed borderline tumors. Such clear cells lacked the severe nuclear atypia, complex branching, and dense hyalinized cores of typical clear cell carcinoma. We did not find coexistence of typical clear cell carcinoma and müllerian mucinous/mixed borderline tumor in any tumors. Piling-up clear cells and endocervical-like mucinous cells were positive for estrogen receptor but negative for hepatocyte nuclear factor-1β and glypican-3. Most clear cell carcinomas showed a hepatocyte nuclear factor-1β-positive/estrogen receptor-negative immunophenotype, and about half of them were glypican-3 positive. In conclusion, piling-up clear cells in müllerian mucinous/mixed borderline tumor do not represent concomitant clear cell neoplasms because clear cell carcinoma and müllerian mucinous/mixed borderline tumor hardly ever coexist and because such clear cells in both tumors are immunophenotypically distinct.Human pathology 03/2012; 43(10):1618-26.

Pumpkins not setting fruit. Need help
My son and I have been trying about 4 years to grow pumpkins and so far we've only been able to grow the jack-be-little pumpkins and everything else blooms great and then where the flower and stem meets it shrivels up.
We live in central IL close to springfield. We planted this year on may 8th since it was so warm by then already.
We watered often and would let the sprinkler run for 2-3 hours and the very next day the leaves would start to wilt. We had so much heat and not alot of rain this year.
We even had lots of watermelons but they all cracked and never got any bigger than a softball.
We are really hoping to get some pointers seed suggestions that a divorced mom can afford. lol I really want to grow a great big one.
we planted big max and can't find the seed packet for the other kind but it was just jack-o-lantern size frm probably walmart.
Thanks so much!
Check with your local extension office for recommended varieties and planting dates.
If female flowers are forming but not setting, you may be lacking bees. You'll need to move pollen from the male flowers to the female flowers yourself if that's the case.
They're also heavy feeders. I top dress with a scatter of 10-10-10 every couple of weeks.

sgeorgia(z8 SGA)March 1, 2006
I have a seedling growing that I believed to be alata. I received the seeds from a member of the forum. The leaves are tri-lobed. The pictures I have seen of alata seem to be single lobed. Are alata leaves sometimes 3 lobed?
Passiflora alata has leaves that are unlobed and ovate in shape just like the closely related species of phoenicea (Ruby Glow) and quadrangularis. If the plant you are questioning has trilobed leaves then I would suggest that it is something other than P. alata. Sounds like it may be the hybrid, belotii (caerulea x alata). Let me know if you would like an alata...I will have some additional plants shortly.

I'd like to reproduce the following raw solr query with sunspot
q=exact_term_text:foo OR term_textv:foo* OR alternate_text:bar*
but I am not able to understand if and how this is possible, through the standard sunspot interface, since it seems that:
- the
fulltextmethod does not seem to accept multiple text/search_fields arguments
- I wouldn't know what argument to pass as the first one to
fulltext, as if I pass either
"bar"the results would not match
- If I pass an empty argument I get a
- the scope filters (e.g.
with(:term).starting_with('foo*')are (as the name implies) applied as filter queries, and thus take no part in scoring.
It seems possible to hand-compose the string (or possibly use
adjust_solr_params) but that seems hackish. Is there a better solution?

But more generally, I'm not sure exactly why it is useful to build a robot arm to do their demonstration.
Robotics means you get consistent force from trial to trial.
He's obviously never had a catnipped-up cat grab a hold of his forearm with the front claws and use it's back legs to scrape the everlovincrap out of him."I realized that the sick-claw was not a knife, but was rather more like the claw of a cat. Cats use their claws to pierce and hold prey, not to disembowel.
Hang on...I'm going to try something...=p
OK, so we're talking about the difference between surgically slicing the abdomen open with a scalpel vs. ripping the abdomen open. In the end, what's the difference? Either way, you still end up with guts on the floor.
Someone else pointed out that this isn't generally how cats kill, and I'd have to say they're right, generally. I have, however, witnessed my cat slaughter a teddy-bear in this manner (she'd had a hard day, she'd gotten herself trapped in the closet and then had a bit too much catnip and the bear just looked at her kinda funny that one time too many and something in her just snapped). Doesn't matter how dull those hind claws are, the legs they're attached to are pretty f**king powerful and that kicking is pretty damned effective.
I fail to see how it's important what a dinosaur did period. Great it punctured, big deal, they aren't around now anyways. This is about as important as two geeks debating spiderman vs batman who would win?"His work is very important,"
Bio-CAD is an interesting field. You can use modeling or reconstruction of what you think an organism was like, and you can sometimes come to a conclusion that doesn't support the currently accepted theory of how something worked. The dromaeosaurs (velociraptor and friends) were amon
From TFA: The Velociraptor dinosaur... was not as vicious as portrayed. On the contrary, it embraced its victims before its razor sharp teeth went to work...
Awww, look. He wants to hug me!
since it was based on a book, i think you mean that authors don't always get it right. which is interesting, because that same author is testifying to congress right about now, on the other side of the debate from most scientists"Yet again scientist realize that Hollywood movies don't always get their facts right."

It went from my computer shutting down frequently to now I cannot start up my computer with my graphics card plugged in. My computer will connect fine when my graphics card is unplugged. I dont think my graphics card would screw up already when I have only had the computer for about 4 months. Any ideas?

With it being Holy Week and spring break, there a lots of folks off of work and school meaning the roads are wide open in most places.
One place there is a slowdown is on the Bloomington Ferry Bridge. Traffic tightens on northbound Hwy. 169 as a motorists is off to the right shoulder changing a tire.
Look for some eastbound slowdowns on 394, 694 and 494. But nothing that will add much time to your drive yet.

Better than beginners driver The grip was extremely small and hindered my use/enjoyment of this club. The shaft was not as stiff as I expected and if you've a fairly high swing speed or "load the club" then you might want to look elsewhere.

For all you readers who live in coastal regions and enjoy good weather year-round and the beaches that come with the deal, you don't know how good you have it. Bikini Heat is a beautiful example of what the landlocked segment of the world's population simply doesn't get to enjoy enough of. This site claims to have the hottest chicks in skimpy bikinis and that's not too far off the mark.
BikiniHeat features nothing short of an astounding assortment of finely shaped hotties. Every chick brings something hot to the table and I couldn't help but ogle the babes with tattoos and piercings. The design is fine, but I did have an issue with the navigation.
At first it all seemed fine. I headed into the video and photo sections and counted everything there. The fact that it was all on one page and involved a lot of scrolling was a pain. I then returned to the homepage and noticed that the videos and photo sets presented there (pages of them) encompassed ones not found in the photo and vid sections (as well as many that were).
This is quite annoying because not only does it make counting the collection harder, but it also means that you will be seeing lots of doubles and the only way to notice them will be based on the preview images and possibly the little write-ups. I have no problem with putting the latest updates on the homepage, but at least put everything in the video and photo sections too.
You get 154 videos that are all pretty brief, hovering around the four to five-minute mark. Some are accompanied by music, but there is no talking. The movies are all about teasing, stripping and posing. They can be downloaded in good-looking Windows Media files, but there is no streaming option. They look to be adding a new movie every two weeks.
There are also 380 photo sets. These spreads are full of high-res images that will make a fine addition to your bikini-babe masturbatory stash. No Zip files are provided, though. The public nudity sets are probably the most enjoyable, but you'll see more cameltoe action with the indoor ones.
Compared to other bikini sites out there, Bikini Heat is certainly on the right track. They don't cut corners when selecting their babes and you get high-quality material. If you can't stand being away from the beach and need to see some wickedly hot babes right now, take a look at what is on offer here.
