Chicken and Dumpling Bake Casserole
This Chicken and Dumpling Casserole bake may not be real photogenic but it is simply delicious and another one of those foods that proves you can't judge a book by its cover. It's also become one of the mostWhile the name may be the same, this version is of course, a casserole, and not technically exactly like good ole old fashioned chicken and dumplings. To me, however, it provides a consistency and flavor similar to the more labor-intensive homemade version, but in a super-easy form, especially if you are using leftover chicken or a rotisserie chicken from the grocery store. If you are cooking fresh chicken, especially if you are using boneless, skinless chicken you want to just slightly under cook it when you poach it, since it will essentially continue cooking in the oven.
You'll note that there is very purposely no salt included in this recipe. That's because between the cream of chicken soup and the chicken stock, there is really plenty of salt to flavor the dish, so don't add any to the recipe until you taste it. When substituting rotisserie chicken, they are usually very highly salted, so keep that in mind with other ingredients that you use containing salt - chicken broth, cream soup and bouillon if using that with water. I also prefer to use the original "made for cooking" cream soup, so if you substitute a lower fat cream soup, your results will differ. I find that they make casseroles watery.
When using the original cream soups, I also don't find it to need any other seasonings either, but certainly add any of your favorites that you like either in the casserole or in the broth if you're adding in vegetables. Some suggestions are poultry seasoning, dried thyme and/or dried sage. To make a chicken pot pie casserole, add in some veggies - frozen, thawed, canned, drained or fresh that you first blanch to start the cooking process.
I generally prefer mixed chicken in most chicken casseroles, but I'm still working through an abundance of chicken breasts from my freezer, so that's what I used for this post. Use whatever you have. This casserole is a great family pleaser - hope you give it a try.
Here's how to make it. Enjoy!
First things first, if you're using raw chicken, you'll need to bring 2-1/2 cups of chicken stock to a boil. If you're using a rotisserie chicken or precooked chicken you'll skip these first few steps of course, and don't forget... those chickens are usually very salty, so keep that in mind with other ingredients you are using such as the cream soup and broth and use lower sodium products when using a rotisserie chicken.
Add the chicken breasts (or whatever pieces you are using) to the stock, bring back up to a boil, cover, reduce to simmer and cook for about 15 minutes, or until cooked through.
Remove chicken and set aside to cool. Reserve the stock - you'll need it in a second.
Melt 1/2 a stick of butter and pour into a 9 x 13 inch baking pan.
When the chicken has cooled down, shred it. I usually use two forks to do this.
Spread the chicken on top of the butter in the baking pan.
Combine 1 cup of milk with 1 cup of self-rising flour. You can also substitute regular all purpose flour - simply add in 1-1/4 teaspoons of baking powder plus 1/8 teaspoon of salt and whisk that together before mixing with the milk. Some folks are substituting an equal amount of baking mix like Bisquick for the self rising flour, with no other adjustments. I have also seen this recipe made for the 9 x 13 inch pan, but doubling the butter, flour (or Bisquick) and milk. I assume this is done to stretch the casserole, but I also have not done this either.
Whisk the milk and flour together.
Pour the flour mixture very slowly over the chicken so not to move the chicken around.
Don't stir!
Now strain the chicken stock that you used to cook the chicken in. You need 2 cups, so add chicken broth to this if needed to bring it up to 2 cups.
Add the cream of chicken soup to that. This, as all casseroles, works best with the original cream soup concentrates, rather than the green label version such as Healthy Request lower fat, which tend to make it watery.
Whisk the broth and soup together until it's well blended.
Pour that very slowly and carefully over the flour and milk mixture.
Again, do not stir!
Bake at 400 degrees F about 35 to 45 minutes or until top begins to brown. Remember all ovens vary in hot spots and temperature fluctuations so your time may be different. Also if you double the ingredients (butter, flour and milk) for the same size casserole dish, you'll need to cook it longer.
Allow the casserole to rest and settle before serving.
Recipe: Chicken and Dumpling Bake
©From the Kitchen of Deep South Dish
Prep time: 15 min |Cook time: 45 min | Yield: About 4 to 6 servings
- 3-4 cups of cooked chicken
- 1/4 cup (1/2 stick) of unsalted butter
- 1 cup of self-rising flour
- 1 cup of milk
- 2 cups of chicken stock/broth (low sodium is best)
- 1 (10.75 ounce) can of Campbell's original condensed cream of chicken soup
If you are using fresh, raw chicken, please see cook's notes at the bottom of the recipe. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Melt 1/2 stick of butter and pour into the bottom of a 9 x 13 inch baking pan. Shred the chicken and spread it on top of the butter. In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk and the flour and slowly pour that over the chicken taking care not to disturb the chicken too much. Do not stir. Whisk together the chicken broth and the cream of chicken soup. Slowly pour that over the flour and milk mixture. Do not stir.
Bake uncovered at 400 degrees F for 35 to 45 minutes, or until top is light golden brown. All ovens vary. Let casserole rest before serving.
Cooks Notes: Use rotisserie chicken, leftover precooked chicken, canned chicken or 3 to 5 pieces of raw chicken - chicken breasts, mixed chicken parts. When using other sources of chicken other than freshly cooked, such as canned or a pre-cooked rotisserie chicken, they are already fairly salty, so keep that in mind with the other products you are using containing sodium (broth, soup). To substitute all purpose flour, use 1 cup of flour and add 1-1/4 teaspoon of baking powder plus 1/8 teaspoons of salt. Leftovers reheat nicely, but casserole does not freeze well.
How to Poach Raw Chicken: Heat 3 to 4 large boneless, skinless chicken breasts and 2-1/2 cups of chicken broth or stock in a medium sized saucepan. Cook on a low simmer for about 15 to 20 minutes or until chicken is mostly done. It will finish cooking in the oven. Remove the chicken and set aside to cool but reserve the broth from the saucepan. Once cooled, chop or shred. May also use water and bouillon in place of the broth.
Chicken Pot Pie Casserole: Make this an all-in-one meal by adding drained canned mixed veggies, or cooked/steamed frozen or fresh veggies. Cook 2 sliced carrots, 2 sliced celery stalks, a diced potato and a chopped onion, in about 3 cups of chicken broth. If using water and bouillon, may season the water with bay leaf, herbs or other non-salt seasonings. When the veggies are tender, drain but reserve the broth. Put the veggies on top of the shredded chicken and add about 1-1/2 cups of frozen peas. Finished as above, using the reserved broth from the veggies.

Introduction to campylobacter:
Campylobacter is everywhere! Almost any animal –wild animals, farm animals, and pets — can carry it in their stool. It is in the stool of most or all chickens, turkeys, and seagulls. It can be found on the legs of flies, inside the shells of oysters, the cages of hamsters, the litter boxes of cats, and the diapers of toddlers. And if you have a puppy with diarrhea, watch out for diarrhea in your child.
What is campylobacter?
Campylobacter are bacteria that are a common cause of food poisoning and gastroenteritis. Campylobacter frequently appears as the number one food poisoning culprit on the list kept by the Foodborne Diseases Active Surveillance Network of the CDC.
Who gets campylobacter?
Anyone can get Campylobacter, from newborns to the elderly.
The most common way to get it is by eating contaminated food, especially improperly cooked poultry, or by drinking raw (unpasteurized) milk. Newborns can get it from their mothers or from infection in the nursery.
What are the symptoms of campylobacter?
Most children with Campylobacter have diarrhea, abdominal pain, and fever. They often feel quite sick. Campylobacter may be mistaken for appendicitis.
The stools may be bloody. In newborns, this bloody diarrhea may be the only sign – or they may become quite ill, in some cases even developing meningitis.
Some children develop temporary arthritis or other complications.
Is campylobacter contagious?
Campylobacter can be spread from person to person by the fecal-oral route.
How long does campylobacter last?
Most children develop symptoms between 1 and 7 days of being exposed. Most recover within a week, often within only a day or two.
In some children, Campylobacter infections last long enough that they are confused with ulcerative colitis or Crohn's disease.
How is campylobacter diagnosed?
Campylobacter is suspected based on the history and physical exam. The diagnosis is made by stool culture or other stool tests.
How is campylobacter treated?
The majority of people with Campylobacter infections get better with no antibiotics, provided they make efforts to stay well hydrated. Preventing or treating dehydration is important for all children with Campylobacter.
Antibiotics are sometimes useful in Campylobacter infections, to decrease the length and severity of the illness. Appropriate antibiotics can also make children less contagious and prevent relapse. Generally, though, antibiotics are not used for this infection unless the symptoms are particularly severe or the patient is at high-risk of severe illness (such as people with weakened immune systems).
How can campylobacter be prevented?
Thankfully, cooking kills Campylobacter.
Campylobacter is best prevented by proper food handling and cooking, maintaining sanitary water supplies, and good hand washing.
Wash hands before preparing or serving foods. Have someone else prepare the food if you have cramps, nausea, vomiting, or diarrhea.
When handling raw meat or poultry, consider them contaminated! Wash your hands and any surfaces they have touched before proceeding. Be sure that meats, eggs, and poultry are fully cooked. Children should not eat raw eggs, or foods containing them.
Wash fruits and vegetables before eating.
Animal stool should also be considered to be contaminated. Wash after handling or close contact.
Teach your kids to wash their hands after toileting and before eating. Instant, alcohol-based hand cleansers can be very useful.

Some of the most amazing musicians of all time came to life on the radio once the electric guitar became popular, and they had the power to blaze a trail in our minds, leaving permanent memory bytes to experience like a flashback when you hear "that song" years later.
Do You Play Guitar?
Have you ever wondered how rock stars develop their style, or how they get that sound? We dig into the history of legendary guitarists and uncover little known facts about how them. The intention is to present ideas for you to explore.
A Common Musical Thread
Good guitar players are a dime a dozen, but exceptional guitarists focus every spare moment on playing. Their reason for living, their identity, is all about living and breathing guitar and working on their skills. If you look closely at legendary players you will see that common thread.
Back in The Day
Attitudes on social issues were changing back in the 50's and 60's, and guitar music played a small hand in that change by influencing the younger generation. The music was new, exciting and a form of rebellion. Music can tie a person to a time and place, depending on circumstances the first time you hear a new song. It leaves an emotional imprint of sorts.
Our love affair with cars in the 50's and beyond was tied to music because we loved to cruise with the radio on and that made those moments memorable. Society was changing back then and we were a part of that change.

Where I stayed
I spent 10 days in total touring Sri Lanka and it was a very busy, eye-opening but rewarding time containing many memories I will keep with me for life. It truly was the most spectacular of all the countries I have visited and one I will definitely visit again.
For those of you who want to read my accounts of Sri Lanka, I have divided up my 10 days into three sections:
1. South Coast: Galle, Tissamaharama, & Bandarawela
This involved touring around the south coast of Lanka from Colombo the 17th century fort of Galle, going on safari at Yala National Park near Tissamaharama and then climbing the hill country to Bandarawela.
2. Relics from the Colonial Era: Nuwara Eliya & Kandy
The British left their mark on Lanka in the form of Nuwara Eliya and Kandy. I visited both of these places and with their altitudes, resembled Scotland in the summer.
3. Cultural Triangle: Sigiriya, Polonnaruwa & Anurahhapura
Lanka's cultural triangle is regarded as being world famous. It holds ruins of two ancient capital cities of Lanka: Polonnaruwa & Anurahhapura dated from the 1st Century BC to the 2nd Century AD. Buddhism being Lanka's main religion was said to have been spread from within this area.
* * *
Facts for the Tourist
As an island, Sri Lanka is inhabited by 20 million people with tourism as it's main trade. It's also very famous for gems but few good mines remain because of the plundering of King Solomon, Sinbad and colonialists who removed most of the valuable sapphires and diamonds that the country is famous for producing. Mainly made up of the native Sinhalese people, there is a very large presence of Tamils who migrated from India in the past to work and live in Sri Lanka mainly as tea pickers and traders. The political wing of the terrorist group, the Tamil Tigers called the LTTE now controls the North West part of the island in an uneasy truth brokered by Norwegian negotiators.
The main religion in Sri Lanka is Buddhism followed by Hindu, Muslims and Christians. Because Buddhism is so revered in the country, each full moon day is sacred to Sri Lankans', so much so that bars are not allowed to open on these days and no alcohol can be sold either. Influences on Sri Lanka came from India, traders, the ancient cities of Polonnaruwa & Anurahhapura and the Portuguese, Dutch and British colonist who have left their respective mark on the country before it's independence in 1948
I started my journey off in Colombo having acquired the work of a good driver called Thomas. For the first day my jet lag returned to haunt me from Australia so I just had to spend the entire time resting in the really grotty Grand Orient Hotel in Colombo. It's supposed to be a Portuguese colonial hotel but is in disrepair and the spirit of the place has moved on.
Driving south to Galle, it was a long journey through the south of Colombo and the various towns that house many of the people who work in Colombo. Three hours in total and what I didn't realise was that this was just a short journey! Galle was worth the wait as it's an old Portuguese influenced town that served as a fortress for the Europeans. It's filled with relics of old houses, buildings, various cannons that litter the coast and beaches.
I spent the afternoon walking around the coast and through the small lanes in the town area. It felt really European with plenty of verandas and old house designs, the Portuguese had obviously made this their paradise. For lunch, I treated myself to a grilled sear fish. It was a useful exercise as the waiter decided to short change me by Rs.100/- only to look very embarrassed when I pointed this out to him. I realised that this is how dishonest Sri Lankan's decided to line their pockets a bit more and left me very cautious about handling money for the rest of my journey.
Leaving the next day from the fantastic hotel I was staying in was painful. Mosquitoes had eaten away at my feet leaving them completely covered in bites. Lesson learnt here; where there is water, there are mosquitoes. I don't know why they went for my feet though, maybe they were poking outside the mosquito net at night.
It was an early start to get to Tissamaharama. Don't worry if you can't pronounce the names of the places I've been to, I couldn't either. It's a real struggle for the English to pronounce the names which is why the English colonists shorted this name to 'Tissa'.
Ninja Turtles... well maybe
On the way, I stopped off at a turtle sanctuary. The sanctuary has a rolling stock of turtle eggs adopted from the turtles that come up on the shore where it is to lay eggs. To prevent poachers stealing the eggs, the sanctuary takes the eggs to their own purpose built nests to hatch. They even buy turtle eggs from the markets to prevent them being eaten as a delicacy and allowing the turtles to hatch.
25% of all the turtles that hatch are kept for a day to allow tourists to see them and then released in the evening. A couple of resident turtles, including a monstrous 200kg one, live in the sanctuary because they are not well enough to go to sea. This sanctuary isn't government funded so relies upon tourism and donations to pay for it. When you consider turtles are an endangered species, it only costs 30 pence to save a turtle egg from being sold at the market. So the real threat isn't a changing habitat but man who is destroying their chance of survival. Remember, turtles can live up to 150 years and only reach breeding age when they are 20. But they were around to see the dinosaurs and the beginning of mankind so should be respected for that fact!
Outside the sanctuary, I tried my first King Coconut. These coconuts are double to size of the normal ones and orange in colour. They're grown only for their juice since they can produce so much of it and on a hot day, it's also really refreshing. My coconut was so big, I couldn't even finish all the milk in it. The government recently instructed all the coconut sellers to destroy the husks to prevent mosquitoes breeding in them when it rains, so there was no way I could save the coconut for later. Still have a look at my pictures to see just how big they are.
Tissa is home to Yala National Park where Lanka houses most of its' native elephants, leopards, and bird life. I was booked to go on safari at 5am the next morning so it was another early night in the Priyankara Guesthouse. The hotel was decorated really nicely and had modern furnishing. The shame of it was the staff who were the most depressing I'd ever seen in a hotel. It really ruined the atmosphere of the place.
So early next morning, my safari guide called 'Japan Kouro' (don't ask me why he is called that, he's not even Japaneese) came to pick me up at 5am in a rusty, dust wagon of a Jeep. It was really bumpy sitting in the front seat and incredibly hot with the heat from the engine filtering through. It was quite a cheap adventure since the jeep and entry to the park cost just �25 but at the time seemed really expensive. What I didn't understand was the staff at the park taking entrance payments didn't have any change for the notes I and all the other foreigners were using. As I learnt, a Rs.1000/- note is something a lot of retailers don't like handling as smaller notes are hard to come by. Yet these staff chose to make a fuss over just Rs.6/-, which is equivalent to just 3 pence!
The safari was fairly quiet and really annoying since most of the drivers chose to team up in convoys to spot animals. I think it was because a lot of their tips depended on how many animals they spotted for their groups! Japan Kouro was an expert at spotting birds and even carried a pair of binoculars for me to use. It was really nice because other safari groups were straining to see some of the wonderful bird life that migrates over Sri Lanka at this time of year. The best experience was seeing a medium sized Elephant come right up to the jeep and walk towards a watering hole for a drink. You could just hear the jaws dropping from all the foreigners who were lucky enough to see this sight.
Apart from the Elephants, I saw Fowl, Deer, Peacocks, Mongoose, Parrots, Painted Stacks, Black Headed Ibis, Grey Heron, Fox, Wild Boar, Crocodile, Indian Daters, Wild Buffalo, Black Headed Stack and Asian Openbills. Most of them were birds but it was like being David Attenborough watching the birds in the wild rather than on 'Wildlife on One'. Japan Kouro saw that I was noting down most of the things I saw which probably made him more cautious as he wanted a big tip!
In the afternoon, I had to sleep in the car driving to Bandarawela. I was only woken by the feeling of my ears popping as I started ascending in the car up steep, narrow and bumpy roads. The air turned cooler which was fine as the driver didn't want to keep the AC on during the climb as it reduced the engine power, very important when driving an automatic Toyota. More so, the country started turning greener with lush vegetation growing by the side of the road. On the hillsides, vast tea plantations could be seen all around. Lanka is famous for tea and it's quite possible if you had a cup of tea this morning that it came from Lanka. On the side of the roads, people sold fresh fruit and vegetables. Some of them were so determined to sell their produce, they would climb up the hillside paths to meet the same car climbing along a longer road. The driver even said he'd seen one kid selling flowers four times already!
Ayruveda Medicine
On the drivers recommendation, I stopped off an Aryruveda medicine centre. This ancient form of medicine uses herbs and spices from Sri Lanka to produce the basic medicines that are used to treat illnesses and for relaxation. It's something even the Lonely Planet guidebook said needed to be done so I had no choice but to fork out the Rs.2000/- for a 45 minute massage, steam bath and herbal sauna. The nurse who massaged me was really strong and give my arms and legs a good beating with the herbal oils she used. The steam bath was unbearably hot since it involved being stuck in a large wooden coffin with only my head pointing out the end of it and steam being pumped into the coffin. The nurses there had a really annoying habit of stroking my hair whilst this was happening but what could I do with my entire body stuck inside this thing?
The herbal sauna was nice since there was fresh nutmeg, cinnamon and other spices being roasted on the floor producing a very relaxing smell. I also met another British couple there from London who'd said their driver hadn't even warned them about going there and just dropped them off at the centre! At the end of it, I asked the main doctor if she had a cure for my feet which were now blistering. She gave me this really foul smelling, acrid solution to rub on the bites in the morning and night time. It smelt horrible and if it wasn't for the smelly oils on my body, would have stunk the whole car out. On the advice of the doctor, I had to leave the herbal oils on my body for 2 hours so at the hotel, of which I was the only guest, I had to force myself to watch dire TV, none of which was anything resembling English!
Fleeced by the driver
I feel I should mention a poor guy who was dropped off by his driver that evening at the hotel. He was from Singapore but after my driver spoke to his driver, it was easy to figure out that the driver lived in the local town and had just dumped this guy in the hotel so that he could spend some time with his family for free. Bandarawela, is not a place you would want to spend 4 days living because it's a really small town and cold in the night times because of the altitude. This made me really happy though that I could say that my driver wasn't going to do this to me as we'd already passed through his home town. He had been excellent so far, always giving me trivia about the various things we'd seen and facts about the local flora and fauna. I knew from here it was going to be a really interesting trip.

Air Conditioner Louver Housings - French Curves
Written by on December 4, 2009 Hammerforming A/C Louver Housings For A Curved DashOver the past two months we've covered the installation of a Vintage Air A/C system on my project '49 Chevy. Something you may have noticed missing were the louvers in the dash. The reason for this was because I didn't want to mount them under the dash where they'd be less effective at blowing air toward the driver and passenger's upper body, but I also didn't want to mount them in the dash, as I was hoping to maintain a period appearance inside the car. However, I finally decided to french them in the dash and make them as unobtrusive as possible.
I chose Vintage Air's Proline Rotary Vane louvers because I felt they were the most "retro" looking (if any aluminum A/C vents can be retro) and decided to make a hammerform to fabricate frenched housings that I could weld into the dash. Given that the dash is curved, I simply couldn't drill it and bolt the louvers in place anyway, so why not make a detail out of it?
Hammerforms are simple to make, and can be used to fabricate a variety of small panels. While I could have just welded a blind tube into the dash and ground the welds, doing the job this way allowed a nice radius to the edge of the hole in the dash, and made the welding easier. If you're going to make hammerforms, MDF is ideal, as it is available in various thicknesses, is easy to work with, and is strong. I used 3/4 inch plywood, as I only paid 20 cents for this offcut plus the hardware store had no MDF and I knew I'd only need to use it four times. However, MDF will last longer and won't split as plywood is wont to do.

"Cruisin' for a Cause" attendees
Jeanne Matre is very close with her aunt, Liz Brigham, who was diagnosed with PH in 2004. Jeanne says she thought about organizing a fundraiser for a while and was excited when her employer, ShopJimmy.com, a global TV parts distributor, was receptive to hosting a workplace fundraiser.
ShopJimmy.com already made charitable contributions every year. Jeanne simply took the philanthropic culture a step further and planned an exciting fundraiser to benefit PHA.
On May 19, 2012, Jeanne and the staff at ShopJimmy.com went "Cruisin' for a Cause." They gathered for dinner and a chartered cruise around Lake Minnetonka in Minnesota to have fun, learn about PH and raise $800 for PHA.
"PHA helped Aunt Liz so much and has been a great organization for support. PHA is kind of a big deal in the family. It's something we always think about," Jeanne says.
During "Cruisin' for a Cause," Jeanne passed out periwinkle T-shirts and Phenomenal Hope bracelets so everyone could promote PHA and ShopJimmy.com at the fundraiser and afterward. Jeanne even made PH-themed cupcakes with fondant hearts and the PHA logo! "Cruisin' for a Cause" was a surprise to Liz, but next year Liz and Jeanne want to make the event bigger and include more of the community.
Jeanne's advice for anyone interested in planning a workplace fundraiser is to be persistent. Jeanne says, "Talk to the people in charge and express how important fundraising is to you."

Utah has some great Shiras moose hunting.
Utah moose hunting for Shiras moose is extremely good, and Utah Conservation Tags are a great way to get a shiras moose tag without having to draw.
Most mature bull moose taken in Utah have antlers from 38" to 51" wide. If you're an archery hunter there is a good chance of getting a Pope & Young moose when bow hunting. This outfitter has access to huge tracks of private ground and scouts everywhere. This can be a very physical hunt so make sure you are ready. Get more information »
Hunting Season
Utah Moose hunting season is mid-September or October for any legal weapon depending on the tag you draw. Moose hunting is usually best during the rut which is the last week of September and the first week of October when bulls are moving around looking for cows.
Hunting Method
Depending on what weapon and time of the season that you choose to hunt, methods may include glassing, spot-and-stalk, calling, or sitting watching water holes.
Trophy Quality
There is a good chance at a great bull 38" to 51" wide on these Utah moose hunts. If you're an archery hunter there is a good chance of getting a P&Y shiras moose.
The best Utah moose hunting units are on a draw and difficult to get. We can also arrange to purchase landowner tags and conservation tags on these better units. The more notice we have on the tags the better.
Utah Conservation Tag Program
Utah recently started a conservation tag program. Conservation tags are 100% tax deductible for the buyer. This conservation money is used on wildlife projects here in Utah. It's money well spent for wildlife and habitat. These tags allow us to hunt the premium areas without waiting to draw a tag. We can assist you in purchasing these tags and help you apply for the big game drawings.

The official stats show that most people didnt kill both brothers, but doesnt indicate who killed one brother or who killed neither. Personally I spared both. I might have killed Danny, but I read a spoiler in advance and knew Clem would be watching, so no way I wanted her to see that. Not killing Andy was both an act of mercy (he was so pathetic kneeling broken on the ground like that) and as a way of seeing a much more epic conclusion to that scene.
So what about the rest of you? Kill both? Killed one, if so which one? Or spared both like me?

The purpose of Jesus's art was to give verbal, visual, and dramatic forms to those complicated and confounding relationships, symmetries, and harmonies between himself, the father and spirit, and between the triune God and the world… Such creative expressions did not and do not make everything clear, but rather resist simple clarity, forcing their hearers to come at the whole complicated truth from a position of intellectual and spiritual humility.
Everyone is so worried about success and getting this or that honorable diploma—the people here are smart and understand many complex things perfectly—but it's a long distance from the head to the heart.
Children's books are more than stories. They can become familiar narratives children listen to over and over. So it's worth asking - Are the books we're reading doing a good job of portraying God and His Creation?
This weeks in Origins news: studies of a skeleton uncovered in 2007 provide clues about rapid human evolution in the Americas, our climate and Christian stewardship, a few BioLogos folks give interviews, and some cool links to miscellaneous finds.
We must press beyond the various creation narratives in the Hebrew Bible, including the final chapters of Job, to the picture of God revealed in the New Testament—the Creator who does not rationally explain away the scandal of suffering but who instead enters into it.
This week in our Origins News Roundup: News of new nucleobases, the future of synthetic biology, and some healthy dialogue and critique of certain aspects of modern science.
Today's Origins News Roundup features a tour of trending topics in neuroscience, from commentaries and questions made recently by popular media to developments in neuroengineering and the BRAIN initiative.
When you are in church, do you act and speak differently than when you are in school? Do you tend to compartmentalize what you learn about in Biology class from what you learn about in Sunday School?
Russell Crowe as Noah was no superhero. He was very human—perhaps too human for those who'd prefer he remain in the flannel graph world of our Sunday School stories.
The Psalmist is saying that when we walk outside and look up, the heavens are telling us two things about God: they tell us about his glory, and they tell us about what his hands can do.
Scripture gives us multiple ways of looking at things, and a classic example of this is the parables of Jesus. Many of these involve looking at nature. For example, natural events like seeds growing—and what Jesus seems to be saying is look there is a surface reading of nature—and then there is the deeper reading, where you begin to realize there are levels of meaning that we don't pick up on our first acquaintance.
As a Christian, I can't think of a more beautiful process for God to have blessed the production of the elements that we need for life than the beauty of stars. In fact, we are told that we shine like stars in the universe.
Collins poses, as the central question of his book: "In this modern era of cosmology, evolution, and the human genome, is there still the possibility of a richly satisfying harmony between the scientific and spiritual worldviews?"
We can understand why man, modern man in particular, would like to mop the floors and bleach the walls. We might not be able to tame reality, but we can tame our perception of reality. We intellectualize in order to feel in control.

US DOD calls for better cybersecurity for critical infrastructure4:47 PM MDT | October 22, 2012 | Kara Sissell Secretary of Defense Leon Panetta says that US is increasingly vulnerable to coordinated cyber attacks that could virtually paralyze parts of the nation's transportation system or other critical infrastructure. The increased concern is due in part in to the recent cyber attacks on US financial institutions, as well as the August incident at Saudi Aramco, when hackers were able to infect more than 30,000 computers, which were rendered useless and had to replaced. "Imagine the impact an attack like that would have on your company or your business,"...

I can't completely explain why, but I found this novel captivating. The characters were well-drawn and realistic, the settings exotic, unexpected and interesting. The plot moves softly along, to a conclusion that is expected, but deeply poignant. This novel felt so refreshing to me in an age of irony and novels full of overwrought characters suffering existential crises. The quiet dignity of every character in this novel is deeply moving, though each suffers deeply in some way, at some point. True, there is, as another reviewer said, "casual racism," but it is authentic, and to take a novel such as this out of the context of its time would be a mistake. Though such language sounds harsh to modern ears, it is worth enduring for all of the beauty that abounds in this novel.
I've decided to read this book, rather than listen to it, as I couldn't get more than two hours into the audio version. The narration is unbearably annoying. The accents are completely over the top, rendering many of the people Theroux encounters as mere caricatures, and bad ones at that.
I also found that the narration made Theroux seem like an obnoxious, pretentious snob. I can't decide if I'd have the same reaction to Theroux himself if I were reading the book, instead of the listening to the narrator's whining delivery.
This is the worst audio version of any book I've ever encountered, I'm sorry to say. Others might enjoy it and get some laughs out of the crude accents, but it just didn't work for me. Glad I only used a "gift" credit from Audible to purchase this one.
It is very hard to write a concise review of this book, as there is so much one could say about its strengths and weaknesses. Vast sections were extremely tedious, yet other, longer, sections were riveting and deeply engaging. I agree with an earlier reviewer's opinion that the novel could have done with a bit more editing. Some of the exposition is difficult to get through, and can be confusing at times. I say this as a reader who is not easily bored, and tends to enjoy the sorts of long realist novels most people find boring. Ultimately, once I got into the guts of this novel, I found it hard to put aside. I'd say the first hour or two, and the last couple hours of the audio version were not all that engaging, but I think there are a number of reasons for this, mostly personal. Others may find the Venestrom strain of the novel more interesting than I did.
The novel contains a good deal of fairly graphic sexual violence, and isn't for those who might be sensitive to this sort of thing. It is also very devoted to detail, so you will always know what the characters make themselves for lunch, for example. But I found this aspect of the novel interesting, and I think it enhanced the atmosphere and character development.
A very worthwhile audiobook. The narrator is phenomenal, and I appreciated that he captured the characters' voices and emotions without exaggeration or affectation. His narration increased the tension where appropriate, without being overwrought. Easily among the best audiobook narrators I've ever encountered.
"Very Engrossing"
I very much enjoyed this audio book. The first three quarters are phenomenal. It begins to feel slightly tedious and repetitive for the last quarter, but that may have had more to do with the fact that I was listening to it for long stretches, and may have felt some fatigue as a result.
I thought the narration was fantastic, and I thought the narrator captured the different characters' personalities in a very skilled and subtle way. I especially enjoyed her versions of Adah and Rachel.
There are things about this book that might work better in print, such as Adah's palindromes and other word play. But I so enjoyed this audio version that I didn't regret for a moment that I wasn't actually reading it.
Highly recommended.
I found this book entertaining, and the narrator was great. I felt it dragged on a bit too long, and at points I got rather bored. I wanted something silly and entertaining to listen to while lying down with/rocking my young toddler to sleep, and this fit the bill. I kind of wish I'd gotten it from the library instead of wasting an Audible credit on it, though.

Dark Shadows
Director Tim Burton brings the cult classic series "Dark Shadows" to the big screen featuring an all-star cast, led by Johnny Depp, Michelle Pfeiffer and Helena Bonham Carter.
In the year 1752, Joshua and Naomi Collins, with young son Barnabas, set sail from Liverpool, England to start a new life in America. But even an ocean was not enough to escape the mysterious curse that has plagued their family. Two decades pass and Barnabas (Johnny Depp) has the world at his feet—or at least the town of Collinsport, Maine. The master of Collinwood Manor, Barnabas is rich, powerful and an inveterate playboy…until he makes the grave mistake of breaking the heart of Angelique Bouchard (Eva Green). A witch, in every sense of the word, Angelique dooms him to a fate worse than death: turning him into a vampire, and then burying him alive.
Two centuries later, Barnabas is inadvertently freed from his tomb and emerges into the very changed world of 1972. He returns to Collinwood Manor to find that his once-grand estate has fallen into ruin. The dysfunctional remnants of the Collins family have fared little better, each harboring their own dark secrets. Matriarch Elizabeth Collins Stoddard (Michelle Pfeiffer) has called upon live-in psychiatrist, Dr. Julia Hoffman (Helena Bonham Carter), to help with her family troubles.
Also residing in the manor is Elizabeth's ne'er-do-well brother, Roger Collins, (Jonny Lee Miller); her rebellious teenage daughter Carolyn Stoddard (Chloe Moretz); and Roger's precocious 10-year-old son, David Collins (Gulliver McGrath). The mystery extends beyond the family, to caretaker Willie Loomis, played by Jackie Earle Haley, and David's new nanny, Victoria Winters, played by Bella Heathcote.
Burton is directing "Dark Shadows" from a screenplay by Seth Grahame-Smith, story by John August and Grahame-Smith, based on the television series created by Dan Curtis. Also producing are Oscar® winner Richard D. Zanuck ("Alice in Wonderland," "Driving Miss Daisy"), continuing his long association with Burton; Oscar® winner Graham King, ("Rango," "The Departed"), continuing his collaboration with Depp; Johnny Depp, Christi Dembrowski, and David Kennedy. The executive producers are Chris Lebenzon, Tim Headington, and Bruce Berman.
The behind-the-scenes creative team includes cinematographer Bruno Delbonnel, Oscar®-winning production designer Rick Heinrichs ("Sleepy Hollow"), Oscar®-winning costume designer Colleen Atwood ("Alice in Wonderland") and editor Chris Lebenzon ("Alice in Wonderland"). The score is composed by Danny Elfman.
A Warner Bros. Pictures presentation in association with Village Roadshow Pictures, an Infinitum Nihil/GK Films/Zanuck Company production, a Tim Burton film, "Dark Shadows" is slated to open on May 11, 2012, and will be distributed worldwide in theatres and IMAX by Warner Bros. Pictures, a Warner Bros. Entertainment Company, and in select territories by Village Roadshow Pictures. -

What's more relaxing than a good soak in a hot tub? Hot water sure makes you feel great, but hot tubs and whirlpools can sometimes be dangerous—and even deadly.
Let's take Joe, who's just finished a grueling workout on the stair climber. He jumps straight into his hot tub and cracks a cold beer to relax. What's wrong with this picture?
Plenty. Your body can't cool itself when it's immersed in water that's hotter than body temperature. So Joe, already hot from his workout, has placed an additional strain on his heart by asking it to pump blood to the extremities to cool the body when it's impossible to cool down. On top of that, he is drinking alcohol, which further encourages the blood to flow to the extremities.
Joe's heart continues to beat harder and harder to circulate blood, but his body isn't in a position to cool itself. Could he have a heart attack? Yes, if he has a sick heart. Most adults don't know whether they have a bad heart.
If you plan to use a hot tub or whirlpool after exercising, allow plenty of time to cool down first. And limit alcohol intake when soaking. Besides affecting the circulation, alcohol can cause you to become dehydrated, further limiting your ability to cope with the heat.
Don't keep your entire body immersed for long periods. Instead, keep your upper body out of the tub most of the time so your system can shed excess heat.
When you strain a muscle or joint, your first thought may be to soak it in a whirlpool. That's a mistake. The heat of the water draws blood to the injured area. This can cause it to swell, delaying recovery.
Instead, apply ice as soon as possible. After about 48 hours, the swelling should diminish. That's the time to use the whirlpool—but switch off between the whirlpool and an ice pack. Soaking in a whirlpool encourages a range of motion and muscle relaxation; applying ice reduces inflammation.
Some people use hot tubs and whirlpools to warm up before exercising or to keep muscles from stiffening afterward. That's not a cure-all, but light stretching in a tub before or after working out or after cool-down is better than no stretching at all.
Pregnant women should not use hot tubs because the high water temperature may harm the fetus.
Keep water temperatures below 104 degrees Fahreinheit or 40 degrees Celsius, and keep a clock nearby to monitor time spent in the water.

Volvo V60 diesel plug-in hybrid to launch next year
Article Summary
At its unveiling at the 2011 Geneva Motor Show earlier this year, Volvo said its V60 plug-in hybrid was "virtually production-ready." This was an accurate statement as it turns out, with the Swedish automaker announcing that from next year it will begin selling what is likely to be the world's first diesel plug-in hybrid production car. The V60 plug-in hybrid has a range of up to 50 km (31 miles) when driven purely by the electric motor, with the car's total operating range extending up to 1,200 km (745.6 miles) when combined with the ICE.

More travel info about Oberstdorf: Located in one of the sunniest regions of Bavaria, surrounded by snow-capped mountains like the famous Nebelhorn, Oberstdorf is an ideal destination for hiking and skiing—even golfing—in the German Alps. Take a deep breath of clean air and enjoy a hike in the many valleys, or climb up to a pasture or into the mountains for breathtaking views any time of the year. Obertsdorf is particularly environmentally conscious, with the world's largest pedestrian zone and notably clean air and tap water. In addition to skiing, hiking, and golfing, Obertsdorf serves as a convenient point of departure to visit castles built by Ludwig II in the former imperial town of Kempten, or the venerable Fugger city of Augsburg, as well as the cities of Munich, Lindau, and Mainau.
