Hurricane Sandy kept NFA closed one day longer than Norwich public schools to accommodate partner districts in the region struggling with power outages and continuing clean-up.
Hurricane Sandy kept NFA closed one day longer than Norwich public schools to accommodate partner districts in the region struggling with power outages and continuing clean-up.
School was back in session Thursday, and as teachers and students scramble to make up the lost days, NFA looks forward to the upcoming election.
Following up on hosting debates for local candidates for the Connecticut General Assembly and live viewing parties for all four presidential/vice presidential debates, student members of the Young Voters Society, with the support of the Social Studies Department, will hold a special election Monday in Slater Auditorium.
All teachers will discuss with their students the critical issues shaping the choices faced by voters in this election and prepare students for a life of civic participation. There will be assemblies in Slater all day, and each social studies class on the main and Sachem campuses will attend the special presentation during their regularly scheduled class.
Events will include viewing highlights of the Republican and Democratic National conventions, taking a self- administered quiz to determine their political stance (liberal, moderate, conservative), listening to and viewing student presentations about the candidates, and participating in a mock balloting. Election results will be announced campus wide. So that all students can participate in the important event, and to stress the significance of electorate participation in a democracy, the school will follow a special schedule for the day. Monday's activities are spearheaded by Social Studies Department Head Karen Cook and Young Voters Society adviser and social studies teacher Laura Binder.
Ronald McDonald House Charities of Connecticut and Western Massachusetts has identified NFA veteran History and Social Studies teacher Henry Laudone as a recipient of the 2012 Local Hero awards. Identified through a partnership of the Connecticut Association of Schools and the Connecticut and Massachusetts State Departments of Education, Laudone is one of 10 area teachers selected for their dedication to their profession, outstanding efforts in their schools and communities, and commitment to students. The recognition comes with a $500 RMHC education grant to the recipient's school.
"Our board of directors is proud to acknowledge these exceptional teachers for their tireless commitment and important service," says Laura Phillips Ward, president of RMHC of Connecticut and Western Massachusetts. "Our RMHC chapter awards grants to local nonprofits that provide a brighter future for children, with a particular focus on supporting education. With the Local Hero Awards, we are able to thank the devoted professionals who help children everyday – our outstanding area teachers."
Laudone teaches Multi-Racial, Multi-Cultural History, a course he designed and developed, which examines the historical contributions of African, Asian, Latino, and Native Americans to American society. A master teacher, Laudone brings out the best in students, challenges them to think critically, examine tolerantly, and discuss effectively.
Students leave his classroom better readers, writers and thinkers with a fuller understanding of the state and nation's diversity. In addition, Laudone, an active champion for the cause of equity through the tools of education, teaches a U.S. history class which pairs learning challenged and disabled students with their non-disabled peers.
Page 2 of 2 - An honored member of the Strochlitz Holocaust Resource Center, Laudone has arranged for an encountering survivors oral history and video documentation project; and, more than once, has brought survivors to campus to speak to large groups of students in moving assemblies. He contributed to last year's "Spread the Word…Just Don't Say It" campaign about the hurtful effects of words, incivility, and bullying upon others. Laudone has long served as advisor of NFA's Student Activity Board.
A former NFA Teacher of the Year, for the past three years, in collaboration with Director of Curriculum and Instruction Denise Grant, Laudone developed and implemented MAP – Mentors and Partners – NFA's coaching program for new colleagues. It is a model in the state of professional development, growth and support.
Laudone will be honored at a future reception at the Mark Twain House & Museum in Hartford.
The first quarter ended Nov. 2. Report cards should be delivered by mail in time for Parent Conferences, Nov. 13 and 15. School is closed on Election Day and on Nov. 12 to observe Veterans' Day. November 13 and 16 are early release day for students.
Final thought: Bruce Barton reminds us, "It takes a real storm in the average person's life to make him realize how much worrying he has done over the squalls."
Geoff Serra is English Department head and director of communications at NFA. Reach him at email@example.com.

Effect of add-on direct renin inhibitor aliskiren in patients with non-diabetes related chronic kidney disease

BMC Nephrology 2012, 13:89 doi:10.1186/1471-2369-13-89Published: 23 August 2012
The renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS) plays an important role in the progression of chronic kidney disease (CKD). Although dual RAAS inhibition results in worse renal outcomes than monotherapy in high risk type 2 diabetes patients, the effect of dual RAAS inhibition in patients with non-DM CKD is unclear. The aim of this study was to evaluate the potential renoprotective effect of add-on direct renin inhibitor in non-DM CKD patients.
We retrospectively enrolled 189 non-DM CKD patients who had been taking angiotensin II receptor blockers (ARBs) for more than six months. Patients were divided into an add-on aliskiren group and an ARB monotherapy group. The primary outcomes were a decline in glomerular filtration rate (GFR) and a reduction in urinary protein-to-creatinine ratio at six months.
The baseline characteristics of the two groups were similar. Aliskiren 150 mg daily reduced the urinary protein-to-creatinine ratio by 26% (95% confidence interval, 15 to 37%; p < 0.001). The decline in GFR was smaller in the add-on aliskiren group (−2.1 vs. -4.0 ml/min, p = 0.038). Add-on aliskiren had a neutral effect on serum potassium in the non-DM CKD patients. In subgroup analysis, the proteinuria-reducing effect of aliskiren was more prominent in patients with a GFR less than 60 ml/min, and in patients with a urinary protein-to-creatinine ratio greater than 1.8. The effect of aliskiren in retarding the decline in GFR was more prominent in patients with hypertensive nephropathy than in those with glomerulonephritis.
Add-on direct renin inhibitor aliskiren (150 mg daily) safely reduced proteinuria and attenuated the decline in GFR in the non-DM CKD patients who were receiving ARBs.

Rising powers say new bank can help development
NEW DELHI The leaders of five of the world's fast-rising powers agreed Thursday to move toward creating a new development bank that would improve access to capital for poor nations.
Accusing current international institutions of failing to lift up poor countries, the BRICS group - Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa - asked their finance ministers to investigate setting up a development bank like the World Bank or Asian Development Bank that they would back. The also agreed to boost business and trade in their own local currencies.
"Institutions of global political and economic governance created more than six decades ago have not kept pace with the changing world," India's Prime Minister Manmohan Singh told the gathering. "Developing countries need access to capital."
The five countries represent 45 percent of the world's population, a quarter of its land mass and a quarter of its economy at $13.5 trillion. World Bank President Robert Zoellick, underscoring the importance of the emerging world's biggest economies with his own trip to India, welcomed the idea of a new development bank.
"We will be looking forward to working with it to see how we can leverage one another's strength," he said while traveling in the eastern state of Orissa, according to the Press Trust of India. "It will complement the type of work we do."
South Africa's President Jacob Zuma said the bank could "help us create good jobs." The countries will again look at the proposal at their next summit in South Africa next year.
Experts have questioned whether the bloc represents no more than just promising markets and financial opportunities. They have no common security platform and vast differences in foreign policy.
But the leaders insisted on the grouping's importance in shifting the global dialogue on international politics and finance.
Within the bloc "we have a place where we feel Africa is treated with respect," Zuma said. "There's no feeling that people are looking down upon the continent."
Brazil's President Dilma Rousseff said in an opinion piece in the Times of India that it had changed "the axis of international politics."
Their arguments for more inclusive finance policies might be making an impact. President Barack Obama's nominee for the next World Bank president, American physician Jim Yong Kim, said the bank needs to be "more inclusive" and receptive to hearing poor countries' ideas for solving their own problems.
The five nations suggested in their closing statement that they might back Kim's competition from Nigeria and Colombia, and said the new leader "must commit to transform the bank into a multilateral institution that truly reflects the vision of all its members."
Concerning the International Monetary Fund, which is largely involved in bailing countries out of crisis, they voiced concern about slow reforms and called on the fund to make its surveillance framework "more integrated and even-handed."
To bolster business, they agreed to do deals in their local currencies - a move that would help insulate from U.S. dollar fluctuations while helping to lift trade between them from last year's $230 billion to $500 billion by 2015.

A beautiful treasure in the Keys
We had a wonderful time!
This place was the perfect getaway for me and my family.
Connie and Rick are so welcoming and the home is beautiful.
We enjoyed the hot tub, and the central location of the home.
It's close to everything, but you'd never know. Beautifully decorated, and you don't really need to bring anything but your clothes and a let's have a great time attitude. Thank you again so very much for having us! We can't wait to come back and are already planning our next vacation to the Keys.
About the Owner
Captain Rick and Connie your Owner/Host
Captain Rick one of your host arrived on our island in his 60 foot John Alden Schooner and a custom built Pan Head Harley Chooper over 35 years ago. Now a retired charter boat captain he will not only be your host but is presently with the USCG MWR here in Marathon hosting all branchs of active and retired military for their much earned RR on our island paradise. Over the years he has become one of those locals you read about who has watched the islands change and has all the knowledge and stories you may ever need concerning fishing,active charter boat captains,weather, hurricanes, diving, boating, attractions, having a great time and just plain relaxing on our island chain. A real live Captain Jack of the Keys!
Connie is a retired Professional Animal Handler that one day in the 70's was blown over the rainbow after a storm on her farm in Kansas and landed in the Fl Keys Ruby slippers and all! After buying her 1st home in the Keys she was only able to fly in and spend limited time in the Keys but in 1999 after Hurrican George damaged her home in the Keys she was forced to spend 6 months repairing it, she returned to Kansas however found the Keys disease was just to strong and retired returning to her island home for the turn of the century Dec 28, 1999. She is the one that brings that island charm and beauty to the interior decor and gardens of Carpe' Diem. It was Connie that decided our home had to be ground level making it assessable to all. She didn't want her guests warn out climbing steps before they even got in to relax. 2 steps get ya in the front or out the sliders onto the furnished patio/dock area. Wifi and Tv's everywhere. You see Connie when you look at our photo gallery.Her easy living decorater shows thru. Besides being your Host/Owner at Carpe'Diem she is also currently with Home Depot Corperation Special Services Marathon where she works as a customer problem solver/order specialist in her spare time.

Great Vacation Rental
Connie and Captain Rick
Missing the keys already
Everything was great from the moment we arrived until the moment we left. We picked this place because it was most affordable for us but Connie and Rick did not miss a beat if we had any questions or concerns throughout the entire transaction from my very first email until the day we left.
There was plenty of parking for any size trailer at the lot 2 doors down, the hot tub had just been cleaned before our arrival and was ready for us as soon as we got there. We cooked several meals in the full kitchen and used the grill quite often.
the canal behind the house leads directly out into the ocean where the sombrero key lighthouse and reef is only a short boat ride where you can enjoy great diving or snorkeling. key west was only about an hour away where we had a great day trip, but it was nice to come home to the peaceful atmosphere in marathon. We will definitely be coming back in the future one week was not near enough
great deal
The kitchen was well stocked with pots, pans and everything needed for cooking. we enjoyed most of our meals outside over looking the canal .We also enjoyed the hot tub. location was great not far from grocery stores and shopping. Sombrero Beach very close by and not a bad drive to Key West.
we hope to come back soon.
we really enjoy. It is so much fun to meet people from al around the world as we are always there to meet each and everyone of our guests with a wounderful Big Keys Welcome. Living here year around as a host we feel it is our reponsabilty to tell our guests where the best of everything is to make thier visit one to remember. We just don't rent you a house, we like to feel we help your family and friends make lasting memories. So until we meet again we'll keep the sun shining and the drinks cold as we hold your parties keys to the Keys in reserve. Thanks to one and all & see ya once again soon!

During vaginal, oral, or anal sex, the receiving partner has the
higher risk of contracting
HIV. Men who allow other men to perform anal sex on
them have the highest risk. The inserting male partner has a lower risk, but
the risk increases if he is uncircumcised. Women who have vaginal or anal sex
with infected men are also in danger. The risk decreases with the use of
HIV can be transmitted through small sores in the mouth or bleeding
gums during oral sex.

George H.W. Bush spokesman in Mandela 'death' gaffe
WASHINGTON – A spokesman for former US president George H.W. Bush apologized on Sunday after erroneously issuing a statement of condolence stating that South African anti-apartheid hero Nelson Mandela had died.
Bush spokesman Jim McGrath later explained that he circulated a prepared statement expressing Bush's sorrow at the "death" of the former South African president after misreading a Washington Post news alert about Mandela's discharge from hospital.
Mandela, 95, had earlier returned to his Johannesburg home on Sunday after spending three months in hospital for a respiratory illness.
"The 41 statement sent this morning was the result of my mis-reading the header on the WaPo news flash. Stupid mistake by me. Apologies to all," McGrath wrote on his Twitter account @jgm41. "The mistake was mine and not the Bushes," he added later.
Bush's statement earlier described Mandela as "one of the greatest believers in freedom we have had the privilege to know" hailing him as "a man of tremendous moral courage who changed the course of history in his country."
Mandela has faced several health scares in recent years and his lung problems date back to his 27 years in apartheid jail.
His latest hospitalization has been his longest since he walked free from jail in 1990 and went on to become the country's first leader to be elected in all-race elections.
In June, the beloved leader was said to be on life support but has recently been reported to be breathing on his own.
Mandela retired from public life in 2004, and has spent his time between his rural home in the Eastern Cape region and Johannesburg.

Video don't work!
I've had Skype for maybe a year or two maybe even three and I have a lot of my friends on here (iPod gen 5) and recently one of my friends got skype on her computer and it bugs us that we can't see each other we can still talk and stuff but the video just don't work and so we switch to her phone and it still don't work so I believe it's something to do with my skype cause in the past it's worked awesome but now it's kinda just going do in the dumps and one more thing that bugs both of us it that I can send photos to my friends and they can see it but when they send me something I can't see it and then that thing pops up about not supporting it I hope you get the time to fix these cause these bugs just drive me nuts thanks
Photo Sharing
Since the latest update on iPhones you now can't view photos in the app. It comes up with a stupid "not supported yet" message. If you're going to update an app why mess with features that worked just fine and now make it useless? It's beyond annoying and seems like a simple fix, why it's taking so long to do I have no idea. Being in a long distance relationship where one person sometimes is out of the country and cell service is unavailable Skype became necessary. Unfortunately for Skype they're not the only ones offering the same service anymore and it's poor quality now. Google Hangouts is turning into a much better alternative. You can message, send pictures, voice call, video chat, etc. And there aren't half the issues Skype has.
Has a few problems...
I love Skype, it's a great way to talk to my friends, but it seems to be getting worse... I've had to reinstall it on my iPod multiple times and every time there has still been problems, mainly there are a few chats that aren't loading at all, even though I've never erased them, and now I can't look back for more than a month in a lot of my chats, which is an inconvenience. And the call quality is declining, it works sometimes, but only when the other person in the call is completely still, and even then it's not very clear, the audio can get rather choppy or difficult to hear, even with maximum volume. I'd appreciate if these could be fixed in the next update.

Rate Dr. Justyna Krol-Lass
Dr. Justyna Krol-Lass's Ratings
Dr. Krol-Lass is the one and only doctor that I trust my life with. She has gone above and beyond to help improve my quality of life, from surgeries, to chronic pain relief, and physiological/emotional support. I have been a patient of hers for over two years now, and owe her my life. When all other doctors and physicians gave up, Dr. Krol-Lass fought for me. On a scale of 1-5, with 5 being the best rating, Dr. Justyna Krol-Lass places 100+.
Was this rating useful? 0 [[ userState['ratings'][472221].votes_count ]]
I loved being able to talk to her before a surgery that I was having. Was very nervous about the procedure, but her easygoing nature quickly made me quite comfortable. Is a little hard to understand at first, but I got every word. Would recommend her to anyone and am looking to speak with her about ongoing problems with pain.

i thank her for giving back my life i havebeen in pain for 15 years and the nerve blocks are helping me.
Was this rating useful? 0 [[ userState['ratings'][472218].votes_count ]]
I have only met Dr. Krol-Lass 2 times now, the first being just over a month ago in regards to pain management. She was very nice, very knowledgeable and wanted so much to be able to help me with the chronic pain I have. So much so that she tried the very first day to reduce my pain by giving me shots of lidocaine to see if it helped alleviate my pain. I seen Dr. Krol-Lass again last week and am now scheduled for nerve-blocking in hopes of getting to the root of some of my pain at least. I have waited over 2 1/2 years on a Pain Clinic list for Moncton, NB and now hear it is closed and have only waited since November of 2008 to get into see Dr. Krol-Lass at Amherst's new Pain Clinic located on the Day Surgery Floor. To find out more information on this Pain Clinic call the number listed above and ask for the Day Surgery Department and inquire about an appointment or better yet, mention to your Family Doctor that you would like to be referred to Dr. Krol-Lass.

The UltraStinger is a real workhorse of a flashlight, and just about as bright as you will find. While you can get other lights with more lumens, it's hard to beat the light spectrum the UltraStinger blasts out. I had one for seven years –it recently disappeared and I knew I wanted to replace it. I would highly recommend the fast charger if you use your light regularly. The ability to focus the light is also a great feature that many lights with a similar lumen rating don't have. The fact that the battery is replaceable is also nice, and in the seven years I had my last light I replaced it once, and the price was very reasonable. This is a light your friends will envy!!!! FlashlightDistributor was also great to order from - my order was shipped immediately and I am 100% satisfied.

Jessica strikes 'Idol' gold, again, singing Whitney
Chula Vista vocal phenom shines in solo and duo setting on show
Ledet was clearly the most talented of the male contestants, even if he does have a tendency to belt too often. On Wednesday, he delivered an impassioned version of "If You Don't Know Me by Now," which he credited to Simply Red, not Harold Melvin & The Blue Notes (whose original 1972 version of "Now" was closely emulated by Simply Red in 1989).
Overall, though, the show was dull, plodding and in some instances, painful (that means you, Elise Testone and Hollie Cavanagh). So dull, in fact, that after Colton Dixon unwisely performed the lovely 1984 Cyndi Lauper hit, "Time After Time," as a rock power ballad, Tyler and Jackson enthusiastically praised Rex Hardy, Jr., the drummer who accompanied Dixon.
Hardy deserved their accolades, unlike Skylar Laine, whose show-closing, pitch-challenged version of the 1989 Bette Midler hit "Wind Beneath My Wings" inexplicably prompted one of the only two standing ovations in Wednesday's telecast. Then again, Heejun Han got a standing ovation on last wee's "Idol" telecast, only to be voted off the following night, so Skylar might not want to take much comfort from her ovation Wednesday.)
Jessica, happily, wasn't overshadowed by drummer Hardy or anybody else. Look for her to return to "Idol" next week, and for weeks to come after that.

Hoyas-Orange reboot? Yes, please
Six months ago in Madison Square Garden, it was a sad sort of pandemonium, the end of a fierce 34-year Big East rivalry that had become one of the most storied in all of college sports. Die-hard Syracuse and Georgetown basketball fans dropped $300 for nosebleed seats. Legendary Hoyas alum Patrick Ewing squeezed into a seat on the baseline, and legendary Orange alum Derrick Coleman stood and pumped his fist near the Syracuse bench.
BLAME GAMEBad rules, not bad guys are at heart of Oklahoma State football scandal, writes Reid Forgrave.
And it was a game befitting all the hype and the history, with Georgetown battling back from 11 down to send it into overtime on two free throws with 7 seconds left, then Syracuse squeaking out a 58-55 victory to propel it to the Big East championship game and eventually to the Final Four.
Then the rivalry was over, another casualty of the football- and money-driven conference realignment of recent years. Syracuse-Georgetown was going the way of Texas-Texas A&M, and Nebraska-Oklahoma, and Notre Dame-Michigan, and Pitt-Penn State, and Missouri-Kansas: a longstanding relationship of shared respect and mutual hatred euthanized despite fan protests at both schools. Syracuse was heading to the ACC. Georgetown was heading to the newly reconstituted Big East. It was two schools succumbing to the emotionless reality of today's big-money amateur sports.
Georgetown coach John Thompson III sat at a podium at Madison Square Garden late that night and gave a bitter epitaph for the death of another great collegiate rivalry.
"It's a shame they're heading down to Tobacco Road for a few dollars more," Thompson said of Syracuse's move to the conference of Duke and North Carolina. "This is a rivalry that meant a lot to our program and to their program and to this conference. ... It's a shame that we are no longer going to have the same type of relationship."
But now, thankfully, we have rumblings of resurrection.
The Syracuse Post-Standard reported this week that Georgetown and Syracuse are in discussions about a 10-year contract to renew their series in non-conference play. Statements from both schools indicated there's still work to be done on the contracts but also implied that in spirit this deal is as good as done.
"This is a series that will happen," Thompson said. "The Georgetown-Syracuse rivalry is one of the great rivalries in college basketball and it will continue. In many ways, we are in uncharted waters. We have a re-launched conference, a new commissioner and a new television partner with FOX Sports. As soon as we get a grasp on what our future mandated out-of-conference obligations will be and those time frames, the details with Syracuse will be finalized."
The resurrection of this rivalry now feels as inevitable as the rivalry's destruction did during last college basketball season, when years of realignment in college sports finally led to the implosion of the old, unstable Big East and to football schools scurrying elsewhere.
BIG EAST'S BESTBig East basketball history has been full of legendary players and coaches. Here's our top 20.
I've talked with any number of college basketball coaches about realignment. Their reaction always seems to be the same: a sense of anger and resignation that their sport has to ride along in a bus driven by a sport that brings in more revenue: Football. And a plea that the NCAA — or whatever power structure is in charge of college sports if the NCAA unravels down the road — put a commissioner in charge of looking out for the interests of basketball.
But the news that Georgetown-Syracuse could be renewed is a piece of good news for college basketball coaches and fans everywhere. This is similar to last season, when seven old Big East schools banded together, added three other basketball-focused schools and formed the new Big East: It's basketball powers flexing their muscle. Yes, football is the bus driver and always will be. But basketball can take the bull by its horns in the areas where it matters most. The new Big East conference concentrates on basketball first, and the formation of the league is the first good piece of realignment news in the sport in years. The ACC is the first of the big six conferences to bet on basketball, adding basketball powerhouses like Syracuse, Pitt, Notre Dame and Louisville that are impressive in football as well.
And the proposed renewal of the Georgetown-Syracuse rivalry shows that, when it comes to basketball, big-time rivalries can equal big-time revenue as well. When it has a commodity that's worth it, basketball can compete with football in the money game.
"Georgetown has enjoyed being part of one of the most storied rivalries in the history of college basketball in our series with Syracuse," Georgetown athletic director Lee Reed said. "Georgetown has been, and is very, interested in seeing a series with Syracuse become a reality."
If this series does become a reality, college basketball fans will have a bit easier time swallowing with the football-driven reality of today's college sports.

6 tablespoons
olive oil
4 medium
yellow onions, sliced 1/4 inch thick
1 tablespoon
unsalted butter
1 clove
garlic, thinly sliced
4 sprigs
fresh thyme
bay leaf
salt to taste
1/4 teaspoon
ground white pepper
3/4 cup
dry white wine
2 quarts
chicken stock
1/2 cup
port wine
6 slices
French bread
2 cups
shredded Gruyere cheese
Good general recipe, however, I did not feel that chicken stock was appropriate for french onion soup. I used beef stock instead and also added a bit of sugar to the onions to help carmalize. Soup turned out very tasty and the family loved it. Thanks!
Absolutely delicious...worth the time. (It took me at least twice as long to cook the onions.) I loved the addition of bay and fresh thyme, which I had not put into french onion soup before. It's worth splurging on a very good cheese for this recipe.
On to the inevitable substitutions. I did not have the port so I increased the amount on white wine. I wasn't confident my bowls could be put under the broiler, so I baked mine at 375 degrees for 15 minutes with fabulous results.
Thanks, Phil!

This was amazing. I subbed beef stock for the chicken. Also used some sliced swiss in addition to the cheese called for. I didn't have any port so I subbed more of the white wine. I am a vegetarian, but I made an exception for this soup since my grandpa requested it. I'll try it again with veggie stock soon. Superior to restaurant quality.
Excellent! I was a little worried about using chicken broth instead of beef, but was really happy with the way this turned out. I used a combination of mozzerella and parmesan as I didn't have Gruyere. I also added a little fresh parsley. Thanks for the recipe!
This was absolutely delicious. If you are looking for a rich, beefy, salty french onion, STOP, this is not your soup. This is light, fresh and very delicious. Followed the directins to a "T". I used prepared croutons on top, love getting that easy bite of bread with every bite. Thanks for an easy and delicious potage d' oignon!
This recipe was wonderful! I followed the directions and cook times exactly, the only substitution was that I used 1 quart vegetable stock and 1 quart chicken stock, which complimented the flavor I thought. I have never made any kind of soup before, but since my bf and I both love French Onion soup, and this seemed so easy I decided to give it a shot. So glad I did, it was the highlight of the meal.
Delicious soup! I've made it twice now. One time as called for with chicken stock and the other with beef stock. We preferred it with beef stock but it's good both ways. Also, the second time we made it we added a little more port and it was sensational. Thanks for the recipe. Easy and tasty!
A really good recipe and easy to make your own! I use a little less than 2 quarts stock to keep the flavor really rich.

Manuka Oval, also known as StarTrack Oval Canberra during Australian rules football matches for sponsorship reasons,[1] is a 13,550 capacity cricket ground[2] (however the capacity can be exceeded,[3] 10,000 seated)[4] located in the suburb of Griffith, adjacent to Manuka, a business district of Canberra, Australia's capital. The stadium is home to many events throughout the year, including cricket matches in the summer months and Australian rules football matches in the winter months.
The oval was originally a park officially known as "Manuka Circle Park", however by the end of the 1920s it was known as Manuka Oval. The park and nearby shopping centre were named after the Leptospermum scoparium's Māori name, Manuka. There was a push for the park to become an enclosed oval starting in 1926 by various sports groups.[5] Work began on Manuka Oval to erect a fence, along with other improvements made in 1929. The field had previously been used to casually play rugby league and Australian rules football. The first cricket pitch was played on in April 1930. The Bradman Pavilion, the oval's main stand, was constructed in 1962 in honour of Sir Donald Bradman. The Robert Menzies Stand and the Bob Hawke Stand were constructed in 1987 and 1992 respectively and were named after the first two Australian Prime Ministers to bring international cricket teams to Canberra to play against the Prime Minister's XI.[6] In 2004, Manuka Oval celebrated the 75th anniversary of its formal establishment. Manuka Oval will have a $4.3million upgrade starting from the second half of 2011, which includes 4,300 additional temporary seats for the venue, new media and corporate facilities, upgrades to the Hawke and Bradman stands' covering and upgrades to entry facilities.[7][8] Floodlights were installed at the ground in late 2012 to allow sport to be played at the venue at night, and were first used on 29 January 2013 for a day-night cricket match between the West Indies and the Prime Minister's XI.[9]
Sports played at the ground[edit]
The first cricket match to be played at the oval was on Easter Monday, 13 April 1930.[5] The Prime Minister's XI is played at the oval annually, it was started by Robert Menzies in 1951 and there were six more matches up to 1965 in his term as Prime Minister, the match was brought back in 1984 by Bob Hawke and has been played annually since. In 1992, the ground hosted its first One Day International (ODI) match between South Africa and Zimbabwe as part of the 1992 Cricket World Cup, but otherwise remained largely unused for top level cricket.
The ground is home to the Canberra Comets, who played in the Mercantile Mutual Cup from the 1997–98 season to the 1999–2000 season; the team now plays in the Futures League.
Manuka Oval held its second ODI, and its first as part of a normal international tour, on 12 February 2008 between India and Sri Lanka in the Australian tri-series;[10] and it hosted its first international match featuring Australia on 6 February 2013, in which Australia defeated the West Indies by 39 runs.[11] Top level domestic cricket also returned to the ground from 2011-12, with the New South Wales Blues for three seasons playing a Sheffield Shield and Ryobi One Day Cup match each season;[8] and, the ground hosted the 2013/14 Sheffield Shield final, because the Sydney Cricket Ground was unavailable due to a Major League Baseball series.[12]
The venue sought to host its first Test match in the year 2013 to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the establishment of the city of Canberra, however the request was not granted.[13]
The ground hosted the final of the 2014–15 KFC T20 Big Bash on 28 January 2015.
Australian rules football[edit]
The oval has served as an occasional venue for Australian Football League matches since 1998, and a permanent home venue since 2012.
Between 1998 and 2006, the North Melbourne Football Club, hosted a total of eighteen matches at the venue, playing three games per season from 2001 onwards. The ground record crowd was set in 2006 when 14,922 people came to watch the Kangaroos play the Sydney Swans.[14] Brent Harvey was the only player to have played all 18 AFL games featuring the Kangaroos played at Manuka Oval.
From 2007 until 2009, the Melbourne Demons and the Western Bulldogs each played a home match against the Sydney Swans at the venue; the Bulldogs continued this arrangement in 2010 and 2011.[15][16]
From 2012 onwards the newly established Greater Western Sydney Giants play three home-and-away matches and one pre-season match at the ground each year.[17] The club's first ever AFL win, against the Gold Coast Suns in Round 7, 2012, took place at this venue.[18] Manuka Oval also hosts the home matches of the Belconnen Magpies and Eastlake Demons in the North East Australian Football League competition as well as all eastern conference finals.
Rugby league[edit]
During the 1951 French rugby league tour of Australia and New Zealand, Les Chanticleers played a game at the oval against a Monaro side that attracted approximately 5,000 spectators. Manuka Oval hosted one National Rugby League game on 29 May 2001 with the Canberra Raiders moving their game to the ground because of a clash with the ACT Brumbies.[19]
Rugby union[edit]
The Canberra Kookaburras (rugby union) played their home games at Manuka Oval when they competed in the Sydney competition from 1995 until they were excluded from the competition in 2000. The Kookaburras rugby union team rejoined the top Sydney competition in 2004 as the Canberra Vikings however opted to play their home games at Viking Park instead. The Canberra Vikings did make a return to Manuka Oval in 2007 for the Australian Rugby Championship and played three of their four home games at the ground. The other game was played at Canberra Stadium. However the competition was scrapped by the Australian Rugby Union at the end of the year.[20]
Manuka Oval has also previously hosted boxing and wrestling.[21] In the inaugural year of the National Soccer League in 1977, Canberra City played its home games at Manuka Oval, but moved to the newly built Bruce Stadium in 1978. Hockey was also played at Manuka Oval until the National Hockey Centre was built.
Ground amenities[edit]
A two-storey curator's residence is attached to the oval. It was built in the 1930s in the style typically used by the Federal Capital Commission. The trees that circle the entire oval include cypress, poplar, oak and elm trees many of which were planted in the 1920s.[22] The oval's scoreboard, the Jack Fingleton Scoreboard, was originally located at the Melbourne Cricket Ground, dated to 1901, however as the Melbourne Cricket Ground installed a new electronic scoreboard at the ground in the early 1980s the scoreboard was relocated to Manuka oval. The scoreboard was named after Jack Fingleton, who had recently died at the time of installation at Manuka, who was an Australian opening batsman as well as a political correspondent in Canberra and prolific author.[3][23]

Fairfax, Virginia - earlier this year, we told you about Ben Philippi's visit to the National Firearms Museum. There to interview Museum Director Jim Supica for his new book, Ben also brought along a few extra things.
Take a tour of the NRA's National Firearms Museum ...
For a number of collectors, guns are nothing more then a canvas of steel. Works of art to be praised, admired and kept in a place of honor. Those are the type of firearms Phil and Jim are bringing out tomorrow night for NRA's Guns & Gold.
"What usually happens when you start doing custom work on a gun is that the value goes down because collectors want that original configuration," said National Firearms Museum Director Jim Supica. "But it's different when you have a classic gunsmith do the work."
More on Guns of Art on the Sportsman Channel ...
Fairfax, Virginia - On the final day of filming, the ragtag crew from Outdoor Channel's Gun Stories poured into the National Firearms Museum's Robert E. Petersen Gallery. Filled with four-hundred of the finest sporting arms in the world, the Petersen Gallery provided the perfect backdrop to this award winning show.
"It's been fun having them here," said Museum Director Jim Supica. "They've got a great show, a great host in Joe Mantegna and we're happy to be part of it."
Gun Stories follows a collection of firearms from invention through implementation. Each time gauging the impact every gun had on the battles and the people who put them to use. And for Mantegna, the job is practically a dream come true.
Phil Schreier, Senior Curator for the National Firearms Museum, brings us the following news regarding the Museum's Robert E. Petersen Gallery:
Fairfax, Virginia - Tuesday evening, March 27th, is an evening that will long be remembered in the history of the NRA and the National Firearms Museum. GiGi Carleton, President of the Margie & Robert E. Petersen Foundation and Ted Calleton, trustee of the Margie & Robert E. Petersen Trust, presented NRA's Executive Vice President Wayne LaPierre with a deed of gift that completed a three year donation that established the Robert E. Petersen Gallery in October of 2010.
Beginning in the Robert E. Petersen Gallery, Gilcrist kicked things off with an interview of Museum Director Jim Supica before focusing on the collection. Accompanied by Channel 4 multimedia journalist slash reporter slash field producer Jennifer Doren, the crew went from gallery to gallery in an effort to show a little bit of everything the museum has to offer.
Fairfax, Virginia - As Lars told you yesterday, we had the honor of welcoming a group of wounded warriors from Project Enduring Pride as they visited NRA Headquarters here in Fairfax, Virginia. The group of nearly 40 included combat disabled veterans and their family and friends. After a quick lunch at the NRA Café, half of the group went to the range with Lars, and the second half came with me to the National Firearms Museum.
Senior Curator Doug Wicklund took the group on a tour of the entire National Firearms Museum, explaining the significance of certain firearms, particularly those relating to the military. The tour began in the Petersen Gallery and included a stop to look at the guns of Theodore Roosevelt and the Rough Riders. The group also looked at galleries containing the guns of the first and second World Wars, the Korean and Vietnam Wars, and firearms used in modern warfare in the Middle East. But what were the group's favorite guns? Those contained in the Ruger Gallery's "Hollywood Guns" Exhibit.
Lars' #1 Story from 2011 - Tom Selleck's visit to the National Firearms Museum
I've "met" Tom Selleck at a number of events over the years. The first time was at a Safari Club International Convention in Reno, Nevada during my days producing NRANews. Next at an NRA Annual Meeting, then a SHOT Show and most recently during his visit this summer to the National Firearms Museum. But this time ... this time was different.
For this time I was actually able to talk to the man. Not that he's unapproachable, just that I have a rule when it comes to approaching celebrities when I'm working for the NRA. Basically, if they're already dealing with a crowd then I leave them alone. Needless to say, Selleck is always dealing with a crowd. But this time it was different. A special visit to the Robert E. Petersen Gallery followed by a casual meeting with staff meant the rule no longer applied.
After a walk through the Gallery (Bob Petersen was a personal friend of Selleck's), we retired to a private location here at the NRA and talked. Well, I really sat and listened more than anything else, but the rest of them talked. Bottled up inside were questions about Magnum, p.i., the Jessie Stone series and his work with the NRA. More
Actress Ruta Lee and her husband Webb Lowe Jr. made a stop by the National Firearms Museum earlier this week. Long time friends of Robert and Margie Petersen (as well as NRA's own Wayne LaPierre), they made their way to the Museum for a tour of the facility and a look at the Petersen Gallery.
LaPierre personally extended an invitation for the trip to NRA Headquarters in Fairfax, Virginia, throwing in a guided tour of the museum's new Petersen wing by Senior Curator Phil Schreier.
Born to Lithuanian parents in Montreal, Mrs. Lee moved to Los Angeles with her family when she was 6 and began studying theater. She has a long list of acting credits including appearances on The Twilight Zone, Hogan's Heroes, Gunsmoke and Fantasy Island. Ruta made her debut on the silver screen as one of the brides in the 1954 film Seven Brides for Seven Brothers which received an Oscar nomination for Best Picture.
Lee was also a regular on the game show circuit. In fact, you would often see her service as guest star on a number of shows including Hollywood Squares, What's My Line?, and as Alex Trebek's co-host on High Rollers.
Outside of acting, Mrs. Lee is a prominent member of The Thalians, a Hollywood-based charity that seeks to educate and enlighten the world about mental illness and, through raising awareness, eliminating the stigma attached to it. More
The following is a message from Phil Schreier, Senior Curator of the National Firearms Museum:
The Officers & Staff of the National Rifle Association of America are saddened to report to our members and friends that Margie Petersen, the wife of the late Robert E. Petersen, died at her home in Beverly Hills, Calif. on Friday November 25th at the age of 76.
Mr. & Mrs. Petersen had a decades-long relationship with the NRA and especially the NRA's National Firearms Museum. Mrs. Petersen set a new standard in personal philanthropy when, in 2010, she gave the NRA's National Firearms Museum, 425 of Mr. Petersen's prized sporting rifles and shotguns, along with a substantial fund to care for the collection in perpetuity. The gift remains the most generous bequest in the 140 year history of the association. In October 2010 the museum opened the new 2,000 square foot Robert E. Petersen Gallery to display his collection and to recognize his contribution to the shooting sports.
