Looked back a few pages and didn't see it so here it is. What is on your menu for Thanksgiving? Please feel free to share any yummy recipes.
Thanksgiving menu
I made a huge Thanksgiving dinner the last two years, but this year I am lucky enough to get 2 thanksgiving dinners without having to cook either one.
The first is at my MIL's on Sunday the 18th and she normally makes:
mashed potatoes and gravy
broccoli casserole
pink fluffy stuff(not sure what the real name is)
relish tray
green beans
candied yams
deviled eggs
And some dessert that someone else usually brings.
The second will be at my mom's on Thanksgiving day and she usually makes:
turkey breast
cornbread dressing
potato salad
cole slaw
candied yams
green beans
*edited to add deviled eggs
cranberry sauce
mac and cheese
pumpkin pie
pecan pie
Mom to Lilli (11 years) and Ray(5 years)
If you've never brined a turkey I highly recommend it. No matter how I made turkeys in the past the breast always got dry and no, I don't overcook it. We brined last year and it was delicious and moist. When the turkey is done brining you rinse it off so there isn't as much salt.
Well, like I said, we won't because my mother is on a low-sodium restricted diet, and it's just not a healthy option for us. and, I pretty mucho nly do turkey for family gatherings. I have NEVER had a dry turkey breast when I use my meat thermometer. You do not need to brine a turkey to have a perfectly done bird.
Chefs, and turkey processors, brine turkeys to add more salt flavor and to extend the turkey's shelf life. Enough *sticks* to the turkey for us to be cautous. Four ounces un-brined turkey has about 288 mg sodium. A brined turkey could have 980-1200 mg of sodium per four ounce serving, an amount that is unacceptable to those with a borderline, or diagnosed, heart problem, or high blood pressure.
When watching the Food Network, every TV Chef seems to have a favorite recipe for brining a Thanksgiving turkey. You hear some people say that brining does not increase the amount of sodium in the turkey meat. How could that be possible?
Brining requires soaking a turkey in salted water for several hours to overnight. The premise is to "firm up the turkey breast meat" and give it a better texture and (a saltier) flavor. The brine adds 100,000 mg to each 12-16 pound bird while soaking (980-1200 mg of sodium per serving.) Fresh, cooked-without-salt turkey has 72-100 mg per 4- 6-ounces.
More and more processors are routinely brining their turkeys, chicken, and pork. Be careful to read all labels. Watch for "Natural Flavorings.", which usually means that an (unlisted) combination of chemicals which produce MSG have been added.
Since MSG must be listed and these combined chemicals don't, the term "Natural Flavorings" is used. by the processors. Some chicken, such as Trader Joe's as well as others, note that the meat is "natural, with minimal processing and no additives". That minimal processsing is either the "Natural Flavorings" combination or short-brining, which doubles the sodium level to about 40 mg per ounce.
If turkey processors have already brined their turkey, think how much more sodium you will be adding when you use your favorite favorite Turkey Brine.
If you do decide to brine, it would be wise to to know the dietary requirements of your guests and to buy a local fresh turkey, instead of a frozen one."
Out Of The Mindless Void: Finding My Mantra

Kahlan Marie Born July 15,2011
tatooedmomma - I ALWAYS brine my turkey. You don't have to fill it with sodium. I used some kosher salt but I also use lemon wedges, sliced oranges, and a mix of fresh herbs. I let it sit most of the afternoon and overnight in the brine. Then I rinse it and make a paste of butter, garlic and the same fresh herbs I put in the brine...I rub it under the skin and all over the bird. Makes for a delcious turkey! I also cook it in a reynolds cooking bag.

I would definitely recommend it to people who were morbidly obese like I was.
The sequence of events is tragic, morbidly funny, and exquisitely described—as are most of the stories in this collection.
For the morbidly curious, he takes off his mask to reveal his true face at 1:20.
1650s, "of the nature of a disease, indicative of a disease," from Latin morbidus "diseased," from morbus "sickness, disease, ailment, illness," from root of mori "to die," which is possibly from PIE root *mer- "to rub, pound, wear away" (cf. Sanskrit mrnati "crushes, bruises;" Greek marainein "to consume, exhaust, put out, quench," marasmus "consumption"). Transferred use, of mental states, is from 1777. Related: Morbidly; morbidness.
morbid mor·bid (môr'bĭd)
Relating to or caused by disease; pathological or diseased.
Psychologically unhealthy or unwholesome.

Just looking for...you??
My friends would call me a sports junky, an adventure seeker, who lives to laugh and loves to live. I'd say I am a pretty well-rounded person who loves a night out on the town just as much as curling up on the couch watching a movie. I grew up in Marin and went to college at Cal State in Sacramento. Now, I am working in a city I love with my two greatest passions: sports and people. I'm really easy going, and I'll try anything once! Cooking new recipes and eating new foods are my hobbies. Ironically, so is working out every day. :) Traveling is amazing and I wish I could do it more! As a recent newbie to Match.com, I am a bit skeptical if this is the right place for me. Maybe you could change my opinion?? If you are up for some spontaneity, give me a shout!
Alumni connections , Coffee and conversation , Business networking , Cooking , Dining out , Movies/Videos , Music and concerts , Exploring new areas , Nightclubs/Dancing , Playing cards , Playing sports , Political interests , Travel/Sightseeing , Video games , Watching sports , Wine tasting
Baseball, Basketball, Billiards / Pool, Football, Golf, Other types of exercise, Running, Soccer, Tennis / Racquet sports, Walking / Hiking, Weights / Machines, Yoga
I exercise 5 or more times per week.
I have Dogs
I love any kind of Italian food, but I pretty much eat anything and always willing to try new things. I love to go to clubs and dance. But I love going to sporting events which my favorite thing to do on a date. I love going to the movies and dinner!
California State University, Sacramento, Sacramento, CA
My favorite thing to eat is really good Italian food or Mexican food. My favorite thing to do when it is raining outside is watch a good classic movies. I am very into fashion and trends. However, I love reality tv shows like Survior and Big Brother.
I LOVE all and any sports! I am an adventurous person, always up for pretty much anything. However, although I am very athletic I an intellectual person who can carry a conversation.

Gem 1847 Seated Liberty Dollar1847 $1 MS65 NGC. The 1847 (140,750 pieces produced) is the most plentiful Seated Dollar in Mint State from the 1840s. Most Uncirculated coins, however, grade no finer than MS63, and the present representative is one of just four Gems known to NGC and PCGS (1/02). The fields are striated (as produced) with shimmering reflectivity that is evident at virtually all angles. A light overlay of golden iridescence is seen on both sides with slightly deeper olive-gray hues in a few of the more protected areas around the obverse rim. There is little to complain about regarding the strike, all major features exhibiting an exactness of definition that is not often seen on coins of the type. Accuracy does, however, compel us to mention some slight bluntness of detail on stars 8-13 and at the top of the eagle's left (facing) wing. An attractive coin in all regards, and an accurately graded Gem. (NGC ID# 24YJ, PCGS# 6934)

ACE: Summation Index weak! TICK at 2008 lows! US stocks headed for correction!
-0.1 aa - NYSE Summation Index (Ratio Adjusted) (EOD) ($NYSI)
May 31, 2015: UPDATE - The RSI double dip on $NYSI is a rare and ominous occurrence. Note that NYSI continues to move lower and form a divergence against the stock markets, but for how long can this charade last?
The Summation Index ($NYSI) is an accumulation of McClellan Oscillator readings which helps to smooth out the volatile swings found in the McClellan. The Summation Index is popular with sophisticated traders for spotting significant tops and bottoms in recent trends.
For me, the key graph on the Summation has always been the RSI(14) oscillator...as you can see, the oscillator tends to call tops and bottoms off of significant multi-day trends.
I watch for readings under 30 (oversold) and over 70 (overbought) and the confirmation is usually provided by a break back toward the middle as the RSI line crosses over the 30 or under the 70 mark. Keep in mind that the NYSI can remain overbought (or oversold) for a very long time. This is because major TRENDS can over-ride the cyclicality of the markets, which is what RSI tracks. When trend continues higher (which reflects herd trading), a mistake that some amateur chartists make is to assume a long or short position as soon as the overbought or oversold position is reached on the RSI. The proper time to go long or short is when the RSI begins to climb back toward the middle space (between 30 and 70), at least with the $NYSI chart, imho! That's why I watch for the confirmation signal (again, over 30 or under 70) to confirm the move out of the extremes. Often, the NYSI moves can mark a divergence from the actual movement of price on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), thus offering an early warning system.
-0.1 aaa - NYSE - Tick ($TICK)- Weekly 40 Week Channel
May 16, 2015 Update: TICK 40 week lag line hits a multi-year low! The last time it did this was only 3 months before the 2008 Financial Crisis threw its full fury at the markets. We are there again, according to this measure? Does history repeat??? or is this time different? One should never look at one signal in isolation, but this 40 week bottom does make one think twice! Keep in mind you won't hear or see about this signal anywhere else but here! -ACE
This is another ACE exclusive. You won't find a chart like this anywhere else. The NYSE TICK 40 Week Channel and Line has proven to be a forecast model of market tops and bottoms by up to 2 to 6 months in advance. Tops in the Channel predict market tops--Bottoms in the Channel predict bottoms. The 4-40 crosses can show shorter term trading trends within these larger secular trends.
Ace discovered several years ago that the 40 week lag line of the weekly $TICK index tends to be quite predictive of future stock market action in the major US stock indexes with about a 2 to 6 month window of prediction. What the 40 week lag line does is capture the overall LONG-TERM movement of tick price action. TICK measures the number of trades that go off at the ASK price versus the BID price. Generally speaking, TICK moves higher when the markets are bullish, and TICK moves lower when the markets are getting bearish. This is because buyers tend to chase the ASK price, while sellers tend to chase the bid price.
The 40 week lag line tends to trade in a rather narrow lateral band over many months of time which Ace calls 'the 40 week channel.' Most of the time, the lag line moves through the middle of the channel and the US stock market (NYSE in this case) tends to be mildly bullish to slighthly bearish, but rarely is it in any extreme mode. However, when the lag line gets near the top of the channel, the markets can be said to be reaching a peak %6
-0.1 aaa NYSE - Tick ($TICK)-Daily View with 18 Month Perspective
This is another ACE exclusive. You won't find a chart like this anywhere else. Ace discovered that the daily $TICK chart can be extrapolated into an EKG-like chart when applying the Percentage Price Oscillator (PPO) graph to TICK. Normally, the markets trade in an orderly fashion, and the EKG of the PPO will look like a flat line.
However, in periods of volatility, the PPO graph will spike upwards and downwards, sort of like a heart beat would look on an EKG. Most of the time, the spike periods are mild, but even mild spikes with downward momentum can lead to minor market corrections (as measured by the NYSE index). And in periods of extreme volatility, the PPO graph will look like a heart attack on and EKG with huge spikes. Also, these spikes can be an indicator of instability and can sometimes precede a sharp sell-off.
-0.1 aaaa - NYSE - Tick ($TICK) 5 minute chart (intra-day)
TICK is a market pro's tool for monitoring the under-lying strength in the US stock market. $TICK specifically measures the number of up-tick trades against down-tick trades on the NYSE. By itself, the TICK patterns can be difficult to discern due to high volatility from minute to minute during the trading day. I have developed a smoothing mechanism which helps the viewer to see any trading strength patterns more clearly. From time to time, I have to adjust the trigger trip lines due to the amount of volatility in the markets. In May 2014, I had to adjust the lines inward (closer to the center) due to the lack of volatility (this can be compared to the low readings in the CBOE VIX index).
There are actually two lines to watch on this $TICK chart which updates every 5 minutes during the trading day (though the chart is on a 15 minute delay for viewers). The two lines to watch are the purple (thin) line which is the 8 EMA line and the other thicker line is the 21 EMA line (green). The purple 8 EMA line is the FAST LINE, and this line helps the trader to tease out fast movements within the TICK. The 21 EMA line is the SLOW LINE, though that is a relative term as the SLOW LINE is still capturing the fast rhythms of the market for many traders.
When the 8 EMA line touches either of the two thin dashed lines, then this means the market is either short term over-bought or over-sold. Day traders should focus more on the thin 8 EMA line.When the thicker 21 EMA line reaches either of the two solid horizontal lines, that is more broad market based signal of overbought or oversold. Swing traders and Investors looking for the ideal entry and exit points should focus on the thicker 21 EMA line.

-0.1 aaaab - S&P 500 - Ascending Triangle breakout May 18th
The S&P 500 chart shows a bullish ascending triangle breakout on May 18th, 2015. This could lead to a late spring rally in the US markets, before any possible top is reached.
Update: May 30th, 2015: Rebound from 50 day line is weak so far. Other market indicators seem to point to this latest rally attempt being questionable, at best. -Mike
-0.1 aaaabb ProShares Ultra VIX Short-Term Futures ETF (UVXY)
-0.1 aaabcde US Dollar Index - Cash Settle (EOD) ($USD)
The latest trading action in the US Dollar Index indicates that a possible top is in...also, the signs of a blow-off top. The huge volatile swing in the dollar index in mid-March is an early warning sign that the correction phase in the dollar has begun, imho. (posted March 28, 2015)
-0.1 aabcd- Russell 2000 Small Cap Index ($RUT)
The Russell 2000 attracts many traders for its high beta stocks, mostly small caps, and many in fast-growth sectors of the market.
-0.1 aabcdefg - Treasury - EuroDollar Spread ($TED)-daily
The TED SPREAD ($TED) -- sometimes affectionately called 'the TEDDIE'-- tracks the yield spread between the historically 'safe' 3 month US Treasury Note interest rate and the 3 month LIBOR Rate, which is the European base lending rate for banks around the world. Generally, when the spread is low, stock markets tend to perform well. In 2008, the Teddie rose dramatically which foretold of a significant and damaging credit event which eventually came to pass and led to a generational low in stocks in early 2009.
In mid-2012, we saw here that the TEDDY was falling dramatically, which led to the general call to get bullish in stocks. Since then, we have seen the US stocks (and other global stock markets) rally considerably in that time, even as many investors remained on the sidelines cubby-holed into US treasuries and other debt instruments.

-0.1 aabce- Nasdaq 100 Index ($NDX)-Dynamic Buy-Sell INVESTOR Signals
This chart is designed for INVESTORS, not traders. Using the popular Nasdaq 100 Index, there are certain buy-sell signals I watch for in terms of LONGER TERM TRADES or INVESTMENTS. This Index should offer good clues as to when to be long in the market....and when to exit or go short the market.
The 13-50 moving average crossovers are one such signal--this crossover serves as the accleration signal on my Mo-celerator charts, but it is also an important buy signal for INVESTORS who don't want to chase every short term signal.
Also, I watch for the 13 day EMA line on the Chaikin Money Flow (CMF) Indicator with the CMF set at a 34 day lag on INDEX charts. I have found over time that when the 13 ema line on this graph crosses above the zero line, that this serves as confirmation of stronger, longer trend. It works especially well to the long (buy) side, and a negative crossover is often 'a final get out' signal if somehow you have not listened to earlier exit signals, which many investors do not do because they don't want to miss the next surge higher....I understand this as part of my portfolio is invested for the long term too.
Also, the Dynamic chart shows the Accumulation-Distribution (A-D) line with a 13 day EMA line...the crossovers on the 13-dma serve as an additional tandem confirmation along with CMF as to whether money is flowing into the momentum stocks of the Naz 100....or flowing out. Often, the 13 ema crossover of the A-D line will occur before action shows in the CMF, because CMF captures heavy money moves, while A-D captures the early trend setters whose cash flows are not easily detectable. The CMF then serves as a confirmation of the early trend-setters' A-D signals.
Finally, my charts always include the ADX graph, which is 'the holy grail' graph for me. For investors, the signal to watch is at least a 5-pt move of the black ADX line in the direction of the new trend...once you have a 5-pt move, the trend is considered solid and firm for investors. 7/14/12

2003 champ Roddick says he'll retire after US Open
"With the way my body feels, with the way that I'm able to feel like I'm able to compete now, I don't know that it's good enough," Roddick explained. "I don't know that I've ever been someone who's interested in 'existing' on tour. I have a lot of interests and a lot of other things that excite me. I'm looking forward to those."
He mentioned the youth tennis and learning center that his foundation is building in his hometown of Austin, Texas, and a radio show he appears on.
The latter would seem to be a natural second career for Roddick, known for a sharp, often sarcastic, wit. He's never been shy about showing his emotions on the court — whether tossing a racket or insulting a chair umpire or line judge — or sharing his opinions off it.
Roddick grew up in the spotlight and the world watched him morph from a brash, Gen-X kid with plenty of 'tude to something of an elder statesman in the game.
He has spoken out about tennis players perhaps needing a union to fight for their rights the way athletes in U.S. team sports do, and he emerged as a mentor to younger Americans.
Up-and-coming players such as Sam Querrey and Ryan Harrison have thanked Roddick publicly for his help, whether it's offering advice about dealing with life on tour or inviting them to come train with him in Austin.
"I was a little shocked. I think he kept it a very good secret," the 20-year-old Harrison said about Roddick's retirement.
"Honestly, there were a lot of things he taught me, but probably the most important thing on the tennis front was the consistency of every day — every day, working, being out there, putting in time and effort. It's 100 percent. ... If you're going to do it halfway, there's no point in doing it at all. That's what he taught me," Harrison added. "That's what he's done throughout his career and that's what he's all about."
Constantly confronted with questions about why his generation wasn't as successful as previous groups of American men — like Pete Sampras and Andre Agassi in the 1990s, or John McEnroe and Jimmy Connors before that — Roddick did his best to keep adapting his game to try to keep up with Federer, in particular, as well as Rafael Nadal and Novak Djokovic.
He improved his fitness. He added a better backhand. He worked on his volleys.
Eventually, though, he found it too hard to stay at the level he once reached.
"I don't know that I want to disrespect the game by coasting home," Roddick said. "I had plans to play a smaller schedule next year. But the more I thought about it, I think you've either got to be all in or not. That's more kind of the way I've chosen to do things."

after said applying, generating a score indicating the yes/no presence of a myocardial infarction.
This application claims the benefits of the following provisional application U.S. Patent Application 60/(430,462), filed on Dec. 2, 2002, entitled "DIFFERENTIATING ACUTE MYOCARDIAL INFARCTION FROM OTHER ECG ABNORMALITIES" and hereby incorporated by reference.
The detection of acute MIs using ECGs is standard practice. The problem is that current approaches give poor performance. The performance is especially poor for patients with other anomalies such as LVH or conduction defects. The work included here encompasses new methods used in detecting acute MIs. Focus is on areas where current algorithms are deficient.
The AMI system outputs a statement that indicates that AMI is present, probably present, probably not present, or not present.

The Journal Sentinel's Craig Gilbert explores political trends in a purple state and beyond.
President Obama returns to Wisconsin with declining job ratings
President Obama comes to Milwaukee Monday with his worst ratings in Wisconsin in more than two years.
Is a weakened Obama a political liability for the Democratic candidate for governor, Mary Burke, who won't be appearing on stage with him during his visit?
The President is an undisputed drag on some Democrats this fall, especially in red states such as Arkansas and Louisiana with vulnerable Democratic senators on the ballot.
But the Obama effect is less cut and dried here.
That's because the President's numbers, while down, are still better in Wisconsin than they are nationally.
It's also because the political environment here is unique. This is arguably the only state in America where voters are as polarized – and maybe more so – over their governor than they are over the president.
Public attitudes toward Gov. Scott Walker are so entrenched already, his race is less likely to be influenced by attitudes toward Obama. There are hardly any Wisconsin voters who are neutral in their views of either man, according to polling by the Marquette Law School.
Because the state's electorate is so divided, Obama and Walker have received similar job ratings in recent years, even though they're drawing their support from very different sets of voters.
Obama's average approval rating in 23 Marquette polls since the beginning of 2012 is 49%. Walker's average approval rating is exactly the same: 49%.
But Obama's approval rate is 89% among likely Democratic voters and 4% among likely Republican voters in Marquette's last poll, taken Aug. 21-24. Walker's approval rate is 96% among Republicans and 5% among Democrats.
In that last survey, the President's job rating (44% approval) was slightly worse than the governor's (47% approval). But the share of voters who view Obama favorably (50%) was slightly higher than the share that view Walker favorably (48%).
There is no question that Obama's standing has declined in a state he won by 14 points in 2008 and 7 points in 2012.
In 2012, the President's average approval rating in Marquette's polling was 50%, with 45% disapproving.
In 2013, it was 49% approving, with 46% disapproving.
In 2014, it is 46% with 48% disapproving, with the president's numbers languishing among independents. Among pure independents -- the small share of voters who don't lean toward either party – twice as many disapprove of Obama's job performance as approve in Marquette's last three statewide polls.
Yet the President's overall numbers are still several points better than they are nationwide, where his approval ratings are hovering around 41%, according to Gallup.
Obama's appearance at Milwaukee's Laborfest Monday is an official visit, not a campaign trip. The Burke campaign says that is why she is not appearing on stage with Obama, and party officials say the President will return this fall to campaign with her.
Political scientist Barry Burden says any visit by the president is a double-edged sword right now in Wisconsin, not because it changes minds, but because it mobilizes people on both sides.
It activates Democrats, including young voters, union members and African-Americans, groups the party badly needs to turn out in a mid-term election. And it also gives fuel to Republicans, whom recent polls suggest are not quite as motivated as Democrats at the moment in Wisconsin.
"He's popular among Democrats, wildly so, and so he can really be useful for generating excitement there, but he's also disliked strongly among Republicans," says Burden, of the University of Wisconsin-Madison.
"We know the president's party doesn't do well in mid-term years. We know Republicans are pretty united in their opposition to him and his agenda," says Burden. "(GOP Sen.) Ron Johnson and Scott Walker are products of the 2010 election, which was really a vote against the Obama presidency. So here we are in the second mid-term of Obama's presidency. I would think the Democrats would want to be leery of what (his presence) could do to them."

There is a new class struggle in Britain today. Never mind working man and landed toff, or the mutual distrust of socialist and socialite. It is rus versus urbe.
Victims of this divide are epitomised by two women, one real, one fictional. The first is Liz Jones, the columnist who has upset the West Country with, among many things, her uncharitable description of countryfolk as toothless oiks.
The second is Vicky, newcomer to Ambridge in the The Archers, who riles everyone with her insensitivity and deplorable taste in sequins.
Whereas Jones has moaned about the countryside since alighting on Exmoor, Vicky is determined to make friends, join in and become, if not a pillar, at least a rustic pergola in the community. Yet both are the focus of local dislike.
Moving to the country is fraught with pitfalls. In the city one's landscape changes almost daily thanks to building works, and neighbours come and go with astonishing regularity. If you want to escape people, you hop on a bus or train and find a coffee shop in another part of town.
In the country, the bus comes a few times a week and the train was probably axed in the Sixties by Beeching. The landscape changes with the seasons and people tend not to move house so much. Once a social schism arises, there is, to be literal, no getting away from it.
The consequences are drearily predictable: allegations of ignorant townies trying to impose their views; second-home owners buying up all the available housing stock.
We urban types are to blame for much of this. We see the country as a verdant Disneyland, full of lambs, daisy-strewn meadows and thatched cottages. We think life in the country is like Country Life.
We fail to see that it is a serious business, involving muddy tractors, cockerels, sileage and pig farms. There isn't much room for sentiment, be it Vicky's nauseating references to "moo-cows", or Jones feeding organic muesli to the rats.
Jones, of course, has made her life's work the creation of dosh out of discontent. There is another side to it, however. I bet a lot of that dosh goes to the local community in one way or another. Likewise, Vicky has put capital into new husband Mike's dairy venture. While incoming people are vilified, incoming money never seems to be acknowledged.
You don't hear from the previous owners of all those second homes, who doubtless made a tidy profit on their shambolic barns and farmhouses. No, it would spoil the image of the rural man or woman as someone who battles the elements to make a living from the land, someone who is at one with nature – until they get out the pesticide.
It's not just townies who have a romantic view of the countryside.
