I am a Bermudian and I have tried this recipe many times. I believe that you have to add your own amounts of seasoning when making fish chowder - to suit your personal taste - this recipe is the PERFECT start!
I have made this several times and have made a few changes . I added a few more spices, cayenne, dash nutmeg, tumeric, cumin, dash cinnamon, ginger and coriander. Ok, more than a few. The nutmeng, cumin and cinnamon especially give the flavour an exotic lift. No one can quite figure out the undertones but they love it. Just a little of everything is all it takes. Not too heavy or it is overwhelming.
This is a good start. I looked at a few other recipes and tried to make it taste like what I had in Bermuda so I made a couple of changes, I added a dash of nutmeg, allspice, cayenne pepper, thyme, one clove, 2 tbsp of dark rum, 4 tbsp of sherry pepper sauce, and Walleye for the fish because I have a freezer full of it. Turned out great and smells so good when it's cooking.

A Jackson County grand jury has indicted Micah Moore on a charge of first-degree murder in the slaying of Bethany Deaton.
Deaton's body was discovered near Longview Lake on Oct. 30. Police said she appeared to have taken her own life.
But in early November, Moore told police that he had killed Deaton on orders from her husband. Moore was a member of a religious group that met at the Grandview home where Tyler and Bethany Deaton lived.
Moore is free on a $250,000 cash bond.
In a recent hearing, Moore defense attorney Melanie Morgan said her client had told police a fictional account of what happened. She said she believed that Bethany Deaton's death was a suicide, just as police initially said.
"Driven to the police station by representatives of his church community, Micah told a fictional account that was bizarre, nonsensical and most importantly, untrue," Morgan said. "They were the statements of a distraught and confused young man."

The combination of albuterol and ipratropium is used to prevent wheezing, difficulty breathing, chest tightness, and coughing in people with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD; a group of diseases that affect the lungs and airways) such as chronic bronchitis (swelling of the air passages that lead to the lungs) and emphysema (damage to the air sacs in the lungs). Albuterol and ipratropium combination is used by people whose symptoms have not been controlled by a single inhaled medication. Albuterol and ipratropium are in a class of medications called bronchodilators. Albuterol and ipratropium combination works by relaxing and opening the air passages to the lungs to make breathing easier.
The combination of albuterol and ipratropium comes as a solution (liquid) to inhale by mouth using a nebulizer (machine that turns medication into a mist that can be inhaled) and as a spray to inhale by mouth using an inhaler. It is usually inhaled four times a day. Follow the directions on your prescription label carefully, and ask your doctor or pharmacist to explain any part you do not understand. Use albuterol and ipratropium exactly as directed. Do not use more or less of it or use it more often than prescribed by your doctor.
Your doctor may tell you to use additional doses of albuterol and ipratropium inhalation if you experience symptoms such as wheezing, difficulty breathing, or chest tightness. Follow these directions carefully, and do not use extra doses of medication unless your doctor tells you that you should. Do not use more than 2 extra doses of the nebulizer solution per day. Do not use the inhalation spray more than six times in 24 hours.
Call your doctor if your symptoms worsen, if you feel that albuterol and ipratropium inhalation no longer controls your symptoms, or if you find that you need to use extra doses of the medication more often.
If you are using the inhaler, your medication will come in cartridges. Each cartridge of albuterol and ipratropium inhalation spray is designed to provide 120 inhalations. This is enough medication to last one month if you use one inhalation four times a day. After you use all 120 doses, the inhaler will lock and will not release any more medication, There is a dose indicator on the side of the inhaler that keeps track of how much medication is left in the cartridge. Check the dose indicator from time to time to see how much medication is left. When the pointer on the dose indicator enters the red area, the cartridge contains enough medication for 7 days and it is time to refill your prescription so that you will not run out of medication.
Be careful not to get albuterol and ipratropium inhalation into your eyes. If you get albuterol and ipratropium in your eyes, you may develop narrow angle glaucoma (a serious eye condition that may cause loss of vision). If you already have narrow angle glaucoma, your condition may worsen. You may experience widened pupils (black circles in the center of the eyes), eye pain or redness, blurred vision, and vision changes such as seeing halos around lights, or seeing unusual colors Call your doctor if you get albuterol and ipratropium into your eyes or if you develop these symptoms.
The inhaler that comes with albuterol and ipratropium spray is designed for use only with a cartridge of albuterol and ipratropium. Never use it to inhale any other medication, and do not use any other inhaler to inhale the medication in a cartridge of albuterol and ipratropium.
Before you use albuterol and ipratropium inhalation for the first time, read the written instructions that come with the inhaler or nebulizer. Ask your doctor, pharmacist, or respiratory therapist to show you how to use it. Practice using the inhaler or nebulizer while he or she watches.
Put the inhaler together before you use it for the first time. To start, take the inhaler out of the box, and keep the orange cap closed. Press the safety catch and pull off the clear base of the inhaler. Be careful not to touch the piercing element inside of the base
The inhaler must be discarded three months after you put it together. Write this date on the label of the inhaler so you will not forget when you need to discard your inhaler.
Take the cartridge out of the box and insert the narrow end into the inhaler. You can press the inhaler against a hard surface to be sure it is inserted correctly. Replace the clear plastic base on the inhaler.
Hold the inhaler upright with the orange cap closed. Turn the clear base in the direction of the white arrows until it clicks.
Flip the orange cap so that it is fully open. Point the inhaler toward the ground.
Press the dose release button. Close the orange cap.
Repeat steps 4-6 until you see a spray coming out of the inhaler. Then repeat these steps three more times.
The inhaler is now primed and ready for use. You will not need to prime your inhaler again unless you do not use it for longer than 3 days. If you do not use your inhaler for more than 3 days, you will need to release one spray toward the ground before you start to use it again. If you do not use your inhaler for more than 21 days, you will need to follow steps 4-7 to prime the inhaler again.
Hold the inhaler upright with the orange cap closed. Turn the clear base in the direction of the white arrows until it clicks.
Open the orange cap.
Breathe out slowly and completely.
Place the mouthpiece in your mouth and close your lips around it. Be careful not to cover the air vents with your lips.
Point the inhaler toward the back of your throat and breathe in slowly and deeply.
While you are breathing in, press the dose release button. Continue to breathe in as the spray is released into your mouth.
Hold your breath for 10 seconds or as long as you comfortably can.
Take the inhaler out of your mouth and close the orange cap. Keep the cap closed until you are ready to use the inhaler again.
Remove one vial of medication from the foil pouch. Put the rest of the vials back into the pouch until you are ready to use them.
Twist off the top of the vial and squeeze all of the liquid into the reservoir of the nebulizer.
Connect the nebulizer reservoir to the mouthpiece or face mask.
Connect the nebulizer reservoir to the compressor.
Put the mouthpiece in your mouth or put on the face mask. Sit in a comfortable, upright position and turn on the compressor.
Breathe in calmly, deeply, and evenly through your mouth for about 5 to 15 minutes until mist stops forming in the nebulizer chamber.
Clean your inhaler or nebulizer regularly. Follow the manufacturer's directions carefully and ask your doctor or pharmacist if you have any questions about cleaning your inhaler or nebulizer.
This medication may be prescribed for other uses. Ask your doctor or pharmacist for more information.
Unless your doctor tells you otherwise, continue your normal diet.
Use the missed dose as soon as you remember it. However, if it is almost time for the next dose, skip the missed dose and continue your regular dosing schedule. Do not use a double dose to make up for a missed one.
uncontrollable shaking of a part of the body
fast or pounding heartbeat

Albuterol and ipratropium may cause other side effects. Call your doctor if you have any unusual problems while you are using this medication.
Keep this medication in the container it came in, tightly closed, and out of reach of children. Keep unused vials of nebulizer solution in the foil pouch until you are ready to use them. Store the medication at room temperature and away from excess heat and moisture (not in the bathroom). Do not allow the inhalation spray to freeze. Throw away any medication that is outdated or no longer needed. Talk to your pharmacist about the proper disposal of your medication.

Interested in ebook collection and conversion
I'm starting to catch on that we are in a transition phase from bits of paper to just bits. One college is going all etextbooks:
NPR on eTextbooks I'm still surveying the ebook scene, but my current thinking is that for archival purposes all ebooks should be in html format. Back in 1976 it might have made some sense to archive ebooks as plain text for compatibility across systems (I'm thinking Project Gutenberg), but plain text is oh so painful to read that I think readable format should be more important (flowable, reader modifiable). Anyone still using a TSR 80 or VIC 20 who can't read html, well, too bad. HTML is easily editable and convertable to just about any compressed single-file format (prc, lrf) now used or yet to emerge. There doesn't seem to be any winner in the format competition, so until a clear winner emerges, I want all my ducks in html. Of Project Gutenberg's 21,000+ ebooks in English, about 9,000 are already in html, and most recent additions come in html. I'm interested in helping convert the rest to html (I've been playing with GutenMark) and reorganizing the collection. Naming ebooks by acquisition number just doesn't appeal to me. I want all the fiction ebooks in author folders (e.g. Twain, Mark, 1835-1910) within which you would find folders for each work: 1867 Twain, Celebrated Jumping Frog of Calaveras County 1869 Twain, Innocents Abroad 1871 Twain, Roughing It 1876 Twain, Adventures of Tom Sawyer and so on each containing html, prc, lrf, lit, pdf, txt, or whatever versions one has. I think the date of publication is interesting and should be included in the folder name. The master directory can be copied and sorted into various indexes, although if you know the author, no index at all is needed. Finally, I'm interested in sharing collections via P2P. One of my recent conversions (from html to mobipocket) may be of interest: Huckleberry Finn Anyone interested in working on an "Illustrated Classics" collection?

Hi Busybee,
There are many of us who are extremely interested in creating nice illustrated versions of the classics. On this site you'll find the complete works of Dickens, all with their original illustrations, "hand formatted" by me. Many other "classic" authors, too. Take a look in the "Book Uploads" forum. Please do consider uploading your books here if they have been significantly improved over the PG originals. |

Transitioning into the winter season is always difficult for me. The days are shorter and colder, and my summer tan that lingered through the fall disappears. One of the things I do love about the winter is that the beaches are empty and calm, and the ocean has a crisp look to it. I love sitting on the sand and watching the big sets roll through. On one of my recent winter beach excursions I wore my new favorite holiday dress. This flowy maxi dress is the perfect holiday color and can be worn so many ways. I went barefoot and put some of my favorite white winter flowers in my hair, but for my holiday parties I am planning on wearing a pair of platforms and a tribal choker necklace. I also love the fact that this dress has long sleeves – not only is it more flattering, but it keeps you warm on these cool nights! I think I will be able to make it through winter as long as perfect winter styles like these keep coming my way.

I don't think is a question of "respect" but...
Things like this do tick me off. Every week I go to NFL.com and watch for information on my team. Like fans everywhere I want every single tidbit of info I can find about the Texans and as the week moves along I head over to check out the preview of the upcoming game.
Here's this weeks
Three quarters of this mess is about the friggin Titans! The only reason the Texans get mentioned before the last quarter of the article is that they beat the Titans the last time they met!
It's like this week in and week out. The Texans game "preview" is an in depth discussion of whoever they're playing that week with a little blurb on the end of it about the "other" team playing in this game. I'm not a frequent "RESPECT! WHERE'S THE RESPECT" complainer either and I can understand why the Texans don't get the press that many other teams in the league get. They aren't there yet and have done almost nothing to merit serious media attention.
But the preview barely mentioning us? That's just stupid. I'm going to quit bothering to read this thing. There's no point.
Fitz makes bad decisions. That's not going to change.

There are a number of questions which arise in discussions on gear lubricants and a few are listed below: 1. What is the purpose of a lubricant? 2. What would be the characteristics of a gear that would operate without lubrication? 3. Is it possible to produce such a gear? 4. How important is surface finish? 5. Is the same degree of surface finish desired or necessary in all instances? 6. Is it necessary to use lubricants of high viscosity? 7. Does the sliding velocity determine the viscosity of the lubricant, or the surface finish desired? All machined surfaces are made up of hills and dales. The finer the surface finish the smaller are the hills and dales. If two such machine surfaces are in contact and if it is desired to move one with respect to the other, interference between the hills on the two surfaces make it necessary to apply a force to produce motion. If the hills and dales on the two mating surfaces are so arranged that every hill on one falls into a dale on the other, and if the faces of the hills are perpendicular to the direction of the desired motion, it will be impossible to produce motion unless a force is applied of sufficient magnitude to shear off the hills. The shearing off of the hills results in heat being generated.

Afghanistan's Complex Women's Rights Discourse
December 4, 2013
Are women's rights and gender equality universal or culturally and geographically confined to the West? Are there certain cultures and political systems that are inherently misogynistic? Are the concerns of Western powers' about women's rights sincere or are they an instrument to pursue their own political objectives against their rivals? Does women's empowerment help or hinder conflict resolution in entrenched conflict zones such as Afghanistan? Have significant and unprecedented gains in women's rights in Afghanistan since 2001 taken root among indigenous communities? Are these gains sustainable and protected in light of receding Western engagement with Afghanistan? Can Afghan men become essential stakeholders in the consolidation and promotion of women's rights?
The above questions illustrate the complexity and the multifaceted nature of the women's rights discourse taking place in Afghanistan today. And the answers to these questions reflect competing political and philosophical perspectives. Women's rights and emancipation must be understood in the ongoing universal struggle for creating a just and humane society. What is truly universal is "patriarchalism," a system that treats women as second-class objects and subservient to male domination. All cultures, religions, nations, and most political and economic systems have contributed to creating and sustaining a universal patriarchal system, though with different degrees. The women's emancipation has also been a universal endeavor across all nations, cultures and eras, with different rates of success. Therefore, neither women's rights nor patriarchalism should be seen as an exclusive feature of any given society or culture. They are humanity's shared heritage and responsibility. A trans-cultural understanding of women's rights is confirmed by the finding of The Asia Foundation's 2013 public opinion survey, in which nearly all Afghans (90%) agree with the idea that everyone should have equal rights under the law, regardless of their gender. In public imagination, Afghan men are seen as among the most misogynistic, if not on the top of such a list.
Patriarchalism and its ensuing misogynistic manifestations are forms of injustice. Human beings are socially justice consciousness and despise injustice. Even the most unjust and horrific acts and actors resort to justice to justify and legitimize their choices and behaviours. The love of justice and beauty, alongside other universal virtues has transcended all humanity's differences. What we have yet to achieve is a universal understanding and definition of justice. Therefore, the discourse of women's emancipation and women's rights should be liberated from the realm of particularism, including a solely gender-based approach. The equality of men and women is the requirement of justice and an essential pillar of a humane and just society. Patriarchalism and women's subjugation are clear manifestations of injustice and features of less-humane and unjust societies. Therefore, the "justice-lovers and believers" cannot and should not tolerate any form or justification for unjust institutions, laws, and acts that deny the inherent equality of human beings regardless of their gender, class, race, status, sexuality or religion.
Unfortunately, Afghan women have borne the injustices of entrenched patriarchal social, political, religious, and economic systems, far more so than Afghan men. Nearly four decades of persistent conflict have brought immense physical, social, and psychological pain to the Afghan nation, men and women. However, the Afghan women have disproportionally suffered as a result of absence and/or breakdown of redressing and supportive measures and spaces. On the other hand, Afghan women have seen unprecedented and unimaginable opportunities and gains in their struggle for dignity and equality since the collapse of the apartheid regime of the Taliban in late 2011. Chief among them are the legal protection and recognition in the Afghan constitution, opening public spaces and offices for women's participation and overall improvement in Afghanistan's economy, governance, and politics and international solidarity.
However, these gains remain vulnerable and fragile. Their protection and consolidation require continuing and strengthening partnership among Afghans, both men and women, and the international community. To this end, we have to strive toward identifying legitimate, effective, indigenous, and sustainable ways to facilitate Afghan women's journey forward and contribution to creating a peaceful, stable, and prosperous Afghanistan.

On last Friday, June 20, 2014, the General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church USA voted 310 to 303 to divest the denomination's investment in three American companies; Caterpiller, Hewlett-Packard, and Motorola Solutions. The basis for this "Christian decision" was to show support for Palestinians via the State of Israel's policies which mis-treat said Palestinians.
The three corporations do business with Israel and therefore, the denomination by this vote, made a statement to declare solidarity with the Palestinian people.
Moderator Heath Rada said that the vote "in no way is this a reflection of our lack of love for our Jewish brothers and sisters." The BDS (Boycott-Divest-Sanctions) group headed by Omar Barghouti called the vote "a sweet victory for human rights." Both comments illustrate the total lack of factual reality and intellectual capability, among other standards and values once considered to be in the mainstream of conscious thoughts and principles among American church groups.
To review: Jesus Christ was during his time on earth, and is still a Jew (in Heaven) an article of faith for Christians to which we adhere and hold to be true and valid. This vote to divest therefore places the Presbyterians on record as being in opposition to Israel, the citizens of which, are on a daily basis, in danger from terrorist attacks by Hamas, Hezbollah, and other anti-Semetic entities which are supported and encouraged by such noble and fair-minded fanatics such as Al Quada, Syria, and Iran, just to cite a few.
The left-leaning, liberal, "enlightened intellectuals" who comprised the 310-303 majority, via this vote tally, confirm why the once-mainstream churches are declining in numbers, and impact within the general population of America. They have aligned the Presbyterian Church USA with those who openly advocate "wiping Israel off the map and destroying the Jewish people, down to the last man, woman, and child. Upon seeing the first Nazi concentration camp at the end of WWII, Supreme Commander Eisenhower said "It makes me ashamed that my name is Eisenhower."
His ancestry was German. This vote of last Friday, causes me to have a similar emotion. It makes me ashamed to be a Presbyterian.

Unless you've been locked in your room watching Family Guy reruns for the past several years, you probably know that India is in the midst of explosive growth.
In 2006, the Indian economy grew at 9.4%, dwarfing the United States' 2.9%. This year alone, the Bombay Stock Exchange, measured by the Sensex, has returned more than 40% -- driven largely by the success of banks such as ICICI (NYSE: IBN ) and HDFC (NYSE: HDB ) .
With performance like this, it must be impossible to find a bargain. Right?
Despite the country's phenomenal growth, automotive companies have been stalling. Tata Motors' (NYSE: TTM ) stock alone has fallen more than 14% year to date. But if you think the nosediving share price stems from poor business fundamentals, think again.
Don't let its industry fool you -- unlike notoriously poor-performing U.S. counterparts Ford (NYSE: F ) and General Motors (NYSE: GM ) , this company is far from frail. And it offers greater growth potential than even Japanese automakers Honda (NYSE: HMC ) and Toyota (NYSE: TM ) .
Tata is India's largest automaker, claiming the dominant market share of commercial vehicles. Its five-year compound annual revenue growth of 32.6% shows few if any signs of stopping.
In a country of 1.1 billion citizens, only a tiny fraction of citizens own cars. But as the populace grows more affluent, car ownership will become more common. In fact, 21% of Indian households are already planning to purchase a vehicle within the next three years, according to a recent CLSA study.
That figure is impressive on its own, but it might prove conservative. The impending unveiling of Tata's extremely affordable Rs 1 lakh -- also known as the $2,500 car -- could unlock an entire new demographic of potential customers.
The bear necessities
Many investors have failed to see Tata's remarkable value because of macroeconomic variables, which could continue to hinder business in the short term.
Interest rates on vehicle loans have lately run high in India, prompting a slight slowdown in car purchasing. Business has slowed, but it hasn't come to a screeching halt. In the most recently reported quarter, revenue still grew by 6.2% year over year.
In truth, this current slowdown is a double-edged sword, offering investors a chance to latch on to a long-term growth opportunity at an attractive price.
Now trading at...
Tata currently has a price-to-earnings ratio of almost 12, a dividend yield of 2.2%, and it's trading near its 52-week low. I peg the shares as undervalued, but don't just take my word for it. The Motley Fool CAPS community has ranked Tata as a five-star stock, with more than 1,200 bullish votes!
Fools, this is one bandwagon -- or station wagon -- you want to ride on. Head over to CAPS now and vote that you too believe this stock will outperform the market!

Coming over the border today I grabbed a 1L Caol Ila 12 yr for $58
Thanks for asking. The relocation went well, I'm just still reeling from the sticker shock I experience every time I go to spend what's left of my paycheck after the gov has had its 45% take. Alcohol can be 30-100% higher and groceries are on average 30% higher with an added 13% sales tax on top of that (also paying 3 times as much for car insurance which has gone from $435 to $1210/yr). I guess the real problem here is that retail prices haven't adjusted to reflect the strong Can$. If the Can$ was still at $0.70 USD then I'd understand some of the differential.
Talisker 10. That stuff just keeps getting more expensive. Counted myself lucky to find a bottle at under $60.

Troy Polamalu Private Signing
Sep 13, 2011 - Troy Polamalu Private Signing!!!
Cranberry, PA
TSE's inaugural Troy Polamalu event, a private signing held in Cranberry, PA on September 13 was a huge success!
This private event featuring Troy Polamalu exclusively was TSE's first event with the 6-time Pro Bowler, and what a fantastic experience it was. Mr. Polamalu and his staff were a real pleasure to work with, and who knew Troy had such a great sense of humor! Over 4 hours spent signing 2000+ items for his fans, Mr. Polamalu was professional, respectful, and in good humor throughout. All of us at TSE had a great time, and we can't wait to do it again! Thanks Troy!!
