Bridge Scene: Update your library
In the July 2010 American Contract Bridge League (ACBL) bulletin which all members of the ACBL receive, was an article by Larry Cohen titled "Conventional Makeover," in which Cohen describes Oswald Jacoby's 2NT convention and offers a newer interpretation of the system. Cohen emphasizes how important it is to not use this convention if you are a passed hand, or if there is any interference in the bidding by the opponents.
Cohen goes on to describe his modified Jacoby 2NT method and goes on to say if you can persevere through the extensive description his new interpretation provides, the bid still shows a 4 card fit but offers many other options.
The change in meaning that he recommends needs a great deal of partnership understanding and a good partnership should endeavour to keep its game fresh, but each player must work to put the new method into their game or misunderstandings will result.
Cohen demonstrates that this game of bridge is not stagnant. New conventions and uses of older understandings keep the game and players on their toes.
New bridge books are always presenting new ideas for the avid bridge player to adopt. An interesting book for your teenage child is "The Cardturner," by Louis Sachar. Apparently it holds the reader's interest and also interests him or her in learning the game of bridge. Amazon.com offers the book in hard cover, used or new and on Amazon you can find extensive selections of new bridge books to purchase for your own improvement.
Your old Goren books are out of date and although his principles still hold, many of his bids have changed or are no longer used in today's competitive game. Our local library is full of out of date bridge books that people have donated, no doubt in good faith, but new players have little resource to learn the game. Granted, some bridge clubs have their own mixed libraries but many potential players do not come to the bridge clubs but rely on the library for information.

Need Cheap Access point for small office
Our Linksys WAP54g died today. I am looking for an inexpensive access point that can handle WAP-PSK but the only one that comes up in my searches is the same Linksys model. I hated that thing since day one so I'd like to try a different company. Any suggestions on what make and model, under 70-80 dollars would be worth it?
Thanks in advance!

Typing Womanon October 16, 2013 at 12:00 am
A quick one-joke thingy I've had on my mind for a while. In a slightly-modified form, it was an early winner of the 100-character "Twabble" contests on the Drabblecast (back before they actually ran the winners on the show.) I don't know if a typewriter font of any sort has ever been used in a PartiallyClips, but I think it looks pretty neat. I may do this again. Hoping it'll look okay in the papers.
I have to admit I altered the art for this one…I couldn't find a good non-cartoony typing person to fit the feel I was looking for, so I took one of the cartoony ones and made it a silhouette.
Hey, I'm gonna be at a con in the Akron area this weekend! Specifically I'll be performing (as Worm Quartet) at Con on the Cob in Hudson, OH the weekend of October 19! Other musical guests include the great Luke Ski and Ookla the Mok!
UPDATE: Unfortuanately, I've had to cancel my CotC appearance due to illness. But Luke Ski, Glen Raphael, Ookla the Mok, ShiSho, and others will still be there, rockin' the comedy thingy!

By Aaron B. O'Connell
Harvard University Press, $29.95, 381 pages
I was 17. We were in the last weeks of Marine boot camp at Parris Island, S.C. Our platoon was drilling, marching ramrod straight, shoulders back, heels crashing into the parade-ground crushed rock, our drill instructor calling the cadence in that hard nasal singsong. Suddenly he gave us a halt, a right face and a parade rest. We were facing a ragtag platoon of new recruits, outfitted in ill-fitting new fatigues, freshly scalped and shaved and run through the nightmare processing of the first days, faces reflecting something between fright and despair, shifting from foot to foot, trying to remember which was left, which right, much as we had just a couple of months earlier.
Our drill instructor stood for a moment, swagger stick tapping his leg (some of us had had unpleasant encounters with that swagger stick), hard eyes sweeping over them.
"You people were watching my men," he said to them in that rasping Southern-tinged monotone we'd come to loathe and fear. "You people do not look at my men. You people are s***. My men are Marines."
He did a sharp left face, saluted his fellow drill instructor with his swagger stick and gave us a forward march. We never marched with more pride. And from that moment on, the fear and loathing were forgotten, and we gladly would have followed him into combat anywhere in the world. We were Marines.
A personal example, but one essentially re-enacted with each new platoon from the earliest days of the Marine Corps, and the effectiveness of this transformational process has been attested to by a variety of Americans, among them the historian William Manchester, in something very much like spiritual terms.
"This spiritual tone," writes Aaron B. O'Connell, assistant professor of history at the United States Naval Academy and a lieutenant colonel in the Marine Corps Reserve, "is commonplace in memoirists' descriptions of Marine Corps boot camp. In the Marine Corps, the emphasis on spirituality pervades the ranks, from the lowest private to the highest general. 'War,' the Commandant of the Marine Corps said in 1943, 'is about one fifth body, four fifths mind and spirit.'"
From the first days at boot camp, recruits are immersed in the history and legends of the Corps — from the halls of Montezuma to the shores of Tripoli, from Belleau Woods in World War I to Wake Island and Iwo Jima, from the Chosin Reservoir to Vietnam, where in the midst of widespread military deterioration, the Marine Corps kept its honor clean. Recruits are tutored in a history of valor and exceptional service, with an unbroken chain running down from the earliest days to the present, and everyone who has ever served is linked to it. (A boot camp treat: We were marched to an outdoor theater, told to sit at ease, the smoking lamp was lit, and we watched John Wayne as Sgt. Stryker in "The Sands of Iwo Jima," a movie made, as Mr. O'Connell writes, with the active involvement of the Marine Corps.)
There are myth-making exaggerations in constructing the history — the 'Devil Dogs' nom de guerre may not have appeared in a 1918 German newspaper as claimed — but there is no exaggeration in the record of excellence in combat. Nor are the stories told only for unit morale and cohesion; they're also aimed at society at large for purposes of simple survival.
Mr. O'Connell speaks of the "paranoia" that informs part of the Marines' unique identity. But even paranoids can have real and powerful enemies, and in Washington, when he assumed the presidency, Harry Truman made it part of his stated policy to require unification of the services and eliminate the Corps.
Mr. O'Connell writes of how this was defeated by the Chowder Society, a small, elite group of Marine officers and communicators, sympathetic journalists and civilians who waged guerrilla warfare on Capitol Hill, winning enough legislative hearts and minds to defeat President Truman's initiatives. They may have been underdogs in that battle. (Mr. O'Connell's title, "Underdogs," is a play on the perhaps apocryphal "Devil Dogs," representing the Marine's "skillful manipulation of their own image.") But just as they've consistently won on the battlefields of war, often as underdogs, there's no doubt that although greatly outgunned, they won a resounding victory on the legislative battlefield.
Later, they briefly encountered plans for unification under President Eisenhower, but during his administration, the Corps proved to be "one of the sharpest, swiftest tools of American military power," a tool that he came to rely on, as have his successors. Today, despite the advent of nuclear weapons and various mechanized and computerized instruments of war, the Corps' "force-in-readiness [has] become a principal military tool of American foreign relations and national defense."
In the end, Mr. O'Connell concludes in this thoroughly researched and splendidly written book, "it has been the internal bonds of affection that explain the Corp's cohesion in both the past and present," as well as "an ideology of elitism, superiority, and paranoia elements that run through the powerful narratives of Marine exceptionalism today."
"That ideology, which shares some similarities with narratives of American exceptionalism, has kept the Marines forever on the attack. Their sense of being a 'David-like fighting unit' engaging 'Goliath-like enemies' is a principal reason for their present-day success."
As it will continue to be into the foreseeable future. Beyond that, there awaits a higher duty, which explains why service unification never can succeed:

This isn't the rigorous omelet-making process Cru Catering and Café's John Zucker studied at Le Cordon Bleu, but the more relaxed method he prefers when cooking at home. "Use super-fresh eggs," he notes. "They'll put the omelet over the top." The addition of caviar and lime-dill crème fraiche makes this version feel opulent, though Zucker notes that the filling can be customized based on tastes and what's in season.

Try These Recipes Using Frozen Vegetables
A. Americans typically eat only one-third of the recommended daily intake (three servings instead of nine) of fruits and vegetables, so if you're in a bind, a vegetable in any form is better than no vegetable at all.
And as winter approaches, fresh produce is limited—or expensive—in much of the country, which forces many of us to turn to canned or frozen options. While canned vegetables tend to lose a lot of nutrients during the preservation process (notable exceptions include tomatoes and pumpkin), frozen vegetables may be even more healthful than some of the fresh produce sold in supermarkets, says Gene Lester, Ph.D., a plant physiologist at the USDA Agricultural Research Center in Weslaco, Texas. Why? Fruits and vegetables chosen for freezing tend to be processed at their peak ripeness, a time when—as a general rule—they are most nutrient-packed.
While the first step of freezing vegetables—blanching them in hot water or steam to kill bacteria and arrest the action of food-degrading enzymes—causes some water-soluble nutrients like vitamin C and the B vitamins to break down or leach out, the subsequent flash-freeze locks the vegetables in a relatively nutrient-rich state.
On the other hand, fruits and vegetables destined to be shipped to the fresh-produce aisles around the country typically are picked before they are ripe, which gives them less time to develop a full spectrum of vitamins and minerals. Outward signs of ripening may still occur, but these vegetables will never have the same nutritive value as if they had been allowed to fully ripen on the vine. In addition, during the long haul from farm to fork, fresh fruits and vegetables are exposed to lots of heat and light, which degrade some nutrients, especially delicate vitamins like C and the B vitamin thiamin.
Bottom line: When vegetables are in-season, buy them fresh and ripe. "Off-season," frozen vegetables will give you a high concentration of nutrients. Choose packages marked with a USDA "U.S. Fancy" shield, which designates produce of the best size, shape and color; vegetables of this standard also tend to be more nutrient-rich than the lower grades "U.S. No. 1" or "U.S. No. 2." Eat them soon after purchase: over many months, nutrients in frozen vegetables do inevitably degrade. Finally, steam or microwave rather than boil your produce to minimize the loss of water-soluble vitamins.

I like the big bags of frozen vegetable and the frozen berries.
I read up on it and this seems right to get the b est nutrition is with frozen bags of veg/fruit.
Here' an idea......I watched the PBS show with the three excellent doctors and they went on and on about changing our diet to a more sensible way of living for good health.
They all said about the same thing
1. Try to eliminate or almost eliminate beef, pork, chicken
This will help you immune system and bring down sugar levels etc.
You will find that you appetite and desire for sweets almost totally is gone after just one week.
This means you have a terrific weight reduction going on to.
I have gone from waist 36 to 32 now....easy too....just get your mind set right and do it.
This can be modified if you have too...but sugar and salt are real no no's. And stay away from fast food joints and pre pakaged foods at the store.. Make you list to buy and stick to it. It will save you big bucks and lots of doctor visits later on.
You may say...wait a minute...to extreme.....Ok....so go to a nursing home or to the hospital and walk the halls and see the misery there and be happy you are on the right track avoiding those results from bad eating habits.
My friends have gotten over deep depression, heart problems, even cancer. Remember that asparagases are great if you get bad cancer....go read up on it and try it.....tell your friends to check that out too.
These are just stuff I have tried and seem to work for me. I take zero RX and would never take chemo or radiation......if you are considering that remember i had a friend that took all that expensive stuff and died a horrible death....only it dragged his misery out for a few years. Don't have to listen to these doctors trying to experiment on you.......one opinion only.....but ask any person who works for Hospice about what they see...wow...I asked and was told that radiation and chemo are at the bottom of her list and was crossed off totally.
We have to be serious about our eating and decisions as no one else will do it for you in the end. You must make good decisions and then do it...make it a life time change....be thin and strong. A healthy body needs a healthy mind and mind set.

I thinks fresh veggies are more better than frozen one, dont buy veggies in bulk, always purchase in small quantity and do shopping weekly or quaterly.One more important thing is that when we cook fresh veggie it give good taste than the frozen veggie

best to grow them yourself or visit your local farmer's market where the fruit and vegetables are picked ripe. if you have extra, share with friends or neighbors or yes, freeze them for later.

glad to see this article, as my son asked me the question. "Are Fresh or Frozen better"? I said Fresh, big mistake, he read your article, and guided me to this web site, saying the frozen are better, I am a fresh vegetable eater,(changing now) and know that they lose important vitamins and that they are picked before they are ripe.....by the time they reach the supermarket shelves they are depleted more...so frozen in the long run would be better. There is also the case that most fruit products are now force grown in glasshouses, so how good would these be.....your topic is very interesting. Thank you for the info.

Birds of Brooklyn: Eastern Phoebe
The American robin used to be considered the first sign of spring in the New York area, but climate change now allows robins to overwinter here. As a result, seeing a robin in January, February, or March no longer has the significance that it once had. Enter the eastern phoebe! The eastern phoebe is a small flycatcher

The northern cardinal is one of the most beautiful and recognizable birds in North America and a common resident of the Garden.

I'm just a guy who likes to laugh and drink...
I'm just a guy who likes to laugh and drink coffee. For the most part I try to take life with a grain of salt and not get too worked up. I love learning about minute and obscure things. I really enjoy weird comedy shows like Master Pancake Theater or MST3K. I watch way too many documentaries on Netflix for my own good. I like good live music and try to take advantage of that in Austin when I can. The only southern bone I have in me is an absurd love of rocking chairs. I try to live a fairly healthy lifestyle. Eating right and exercising are important to me. I love running around Town Lake on weekends and do yoga whenever I can. I'm not too bendy/stretchy, but I put in a solid effort! All this being said, I still love a good chicken fried steak from time to time, so I won't discriminate if you do too. I generally am looking for someone with a similar body structure to mine - not perfect by any means, but trying. A big quality I value is humility. I don't strive to always be the center of attention or to show off. I don't feed on drama or enjoy being around people who do. When I'm amazing, I like to keep it within my circle of friends. I much prefer to give than to get in life. I am a game developer by profession and passion. I landed my dream job right out of college and have loved every day of it. You could say I'm a little nerdy, but I'm definitely no Sheldon. I enjoy my passions, but don't expect others to feel the same way. I'm young at heart, but showing some adult-like symptoms. The biggest attributes I look for in a woman are intelligence and kindness. I think you can get furthest in life with those two. Being able to have a meaningful conversation with you is more important than how you look. Looks don't hurt though. If you have a good sense of humor, that's a definite plus! I don't care if you are high fashion or a t-shirt and jeans type of girl, as long as you are genuine.

All 2015 Little Rock Marathon races (except for the Little Rockers Final Mile) will be timed using the Jaguar™ RFID Race Timing System, as well as disposable timing chip, which is attached to each participant's race number. The disposable chip requires no battery, is lighter than a feather and has a built in microprocessor customized to ensure maximum reads even during the most challenging of conditions.
- no mats on the ground to slip or trip on
- no chips or tags to return post race
- official "gun" time results available at the results tent with live scrolling results on TV Monitors and touch screen kiosks
- No chip/race number. No time. No exceptions.
How does the Jaguar System works?
Jaguar uses ultra-efficient antennas that are placed above and beside the finish line and other timing locations such as start and split points. Using specially customized RFID readers, Jaguar can read the disposable timing chips in the most demanding environment – on the human body. Being made mostly of water, the human body does a great job of absorbing RF energy. That makes it extremely difficult to read the very low-power signal reflected back from a timing chip. Jaguar has the engineering technology that allows disposable bib chips to work extraordinarily well.
CLICK HERE for more information and instructions.
Timing services are provided by Start 2 Finish LLC of Memphis, TN.
The start line and start corrals are secure areas for participants only. Start corrals are used to provide a smooth fast start for faster athletes, as well as a positive race experience with sufficient room to run/walk along the race course. The goal is to keep slower athletes from lining up in front of faster athletes. Athletes should line up in the start corral that corresponds to the letter on his/her race number. Start corrals were assigned based on the estimated finish time given at registration.
Start Corral Times:
|Under 3:00:59

ST. LOUIS -- Maybe Sarah Barracuda knows her head fakes.
Might the stumbling, halting performances have been the best thing that could have happened to Gov. Sarah Palin?
Surely she can clear the bar Tina Fey set for her. Certainly she's been studying up on issues that move beyond Alaska's proximity to Russia. Naturally she'll find a way to ease in some zingers that she knows better than most will be the soundbites people remember. (And if all else fails -- blame the refs.)
It's a face-off of a peculiar sort on tap for 8 pm CT (9 pm ET) Thursday: Palin and Sen. Joe Biden will be measured on their interactions with each other, but mostly they'll be measured against themselves. And, sorry, Joe, most of the public is tuning in to see only one of the two candidates on stage at Washington University in St. Louis.
This is the Palin-Biden debate -- though really it will be Palin's night, the single biggest opportunity for the nation to see its celebrity candidate doing something close to approximating the work she'd be presumed to have to do should she win.
And with a fresh round of national and state-level polls showing some Obama separation -- and some Palin drag -- there may be no better chance for the McCain-Palin ticket to jump back into the ballgame.
(What does it say about the McCain-Palin team's confidence that the conservative noise machine was trying to drown out the moderator before a question has been asked? And when will Team McCain get introduced to the Google?)
This is star power, fading:
"Skepticism about Sarah Palin has soared since she entered the national political stage, with six in 10 Americans now doubting her qualifications for office and fewer than half convinced of her grasp of complex issues," ABC polling director Gary Langer writes of the new ABC News/Washington Post numbers.
"In advance of her debate against Joe Biden tonight, Palin now looks more like a drag than a boost to the GOP ticket: Thirty-two percent of registered voters say her selection makes them less likely to support John McCain for president, up from 19 percent last month," Langer writes. "Just 35 percent say Palin has the experience it takes to serve effectively as president, down a dozen points since early September; 60 percent think not, up 15."
"Public assessments of Sarah Palin's readiness have plummeted, and she may now be a drag on the Republican ticket among key voter groups," Jon Cohen and Jennifer Agiesta write for The Washington Post. "Though she initially transformed the race with her energizing presence and a fiery convention speech, Palin is now a much less positive force: Six in 10 voters see her as lacking the experience to be an effective president, and a third are now less likely to vote for McCain because of her. . . . In early September, independents offered a divided verdict on Palin's experience; now they take the negative view by about 2 to 1."
With that as backdrop, "Any mistake or gaffe by Palin could be fatal," ABC's George Stephanopoulos reported on "Good Morning America" Thursday. "If she has a moment like she had in her interviews with Charlie Gibson or Katie Couric and draws a blank, that could be fatal for the McCain campaign because the numbers are riding on her so much."

Maryland Comptroller Peter Franchot is taking his effort to make the first day of school after Labor Day to the Ocean City boardwalk this week.
Franchot, along with local elected officials and business and tourism representatives, will start a "Let Summer Be Summer" petition drive on Thursday on the boardwalk, just a little more than a week before most public school students in Maryland head back to class.
Supporters hope the petition will collect 10,000 signatures that Franchot can present to members of the Maryland General Assembly when it reconvenes in January.
Franchot has pushed the idea of a post-Labor Day first day of school for a few years now. Last August, he commissioned an economic impact report that found pushing the first day of school after Labor Day would mean an extra $74.3 million in direct economic activity and $7.7 million in state and local revenue.
MCPS and many other school districts in the state will start school on Monday, Aug. 25, then have off a week later for Labor Day.
Education officials say the state-mandated 180-day school year makes starting before Labor Day important. Supporters of the post-Labor Day start say school districts could easily avoid losing school days by getting rid of professional days throughout the year, or adjusting winter and spring break dates.
It's unclear Franchot's effort has the necessary support in the General Assembly. In May, members of a task force set up by the governor's office voted 11-4 to recommend delaying the first day of school for public schools until after Labor Day.

house. The crew of 4 carried irons, hooks, and 3 ladders (16', 20',24').
Once at the house the members were told to standby outside. The crew took
out windows on all 4 sides of the house while placing ground ladders on
sides A,B, and C. The Driver from Tower 33 went to the roof and let
command know they had fire in the attic. Command sent the crew from 33
inside to open up so crews could extinguish the fire. Due to hoarding
conditions the Tower crew performed extensive overhaul to the house. The
crew operated for 3 hours and 10 minutes before they returned to service.

Street (Co.7's First Due) where crews were operation with a stairwell
that was struck by lightning on the roof and was on fire of an 8story
building. Tower 33 arrived on scene and was asked to bring a 24'
extension ladder to the roof. Two members of the crew climbed up Truck 14
with the ladder as the other 2 checked every floor for smoke conditions. After clearing floors 1-8 these members met back up with the rest of the crew and assisted
units with overhaul operations on the roof. Tower 33 operated for 1hour
and 15 minuteds before retuning to service.

Just after 0330 hours, units were dispatched on box alarm 23-05 for the reported building on fire in the 9200 block of Marlboro Pike. Engine Company No. 23 arrived within a short time to find a one-story (200 x 150) restaurant/lounge and smoke showing. Due to the volume of fire present, a second alarm was transmitted, bringing Tower Ladder 33 with five volunteers. Upon their arrival, Tower Ladder 33 gained a position on the "Alpha" side and began assisting with roof operations. After approximately 15 minutes, crews were evacuated from the building and heavy duty (master stream) devices were utilized to continue with extinguishment operations. Tower Ladder 33 operated in this mode for approx. one-hour before the bulk of the fire was suppressed. Companies remained on the scene performing overhaul and extinguishing hot spots until 1000 hours. Photos courtesy of Kevin King (WUSA-TV 9)

Ten years ago today, the fire service lost a husband, father and friend. But, most of all they lost a teacher, mentor and role model. Over all they lost a great fireman. Peter B. Lund, retired Lieutenant F.D.N.Y., Past Chief Woodmere (New York) Fire Department and Active Member of the Kentland Volunteer Fire Department, Inc. was killed in the line of duty while operating at a house fire in Long Island, NY. This tragedy sent a shock wave through our family. It has been 3650 days since Pete left due to his untimely death. He is remembered each and everyday by the members that knew him. What he stood for is also passed on each and everyday to the new members that didn't. The Officers and Membership of the Kentland Volunteer Fire Department, Inc. ask that everyone take a moment today and remember Pete Lund in your thoughts and prayers. We miss you, Lieutenant Vulcan "God of Fire".
Wednesday, June 10, 2015
Tower Ladder 33 was alerted on this late spring evening for the report of a
house fire in the Cottage City section of PG County. Bladensburg VFD and
Hyattsville VFD crews arrived first and reported nothing evident at 3423
40th Place. Upon further investigation, a small fire was discovered burning on
the second floor of the 2 story single family home. Dispatched as third
due special service & arriving in that same position, the Tower crew
assumed RIC responsibilities. Quick knock down prevented further damage
to the home or any others in the tight knit community, and residents
thanked members on the scene for the fast response & swift actions that prevented a significant blaze.

With Rescue Engine 33 out of service, Rescue Squad 6 was the closest available extrication resource for an early morning head on collision in Landover that left 4 people trapped in one vehicle, and one pinned in another. Engine 331 (responding with 6 men) arrived first, stretched a handline for protection, and began triaging patients. With the number of trapped victims, the Engine Co split into teams, one providing patient care, one to assist the Rescue Squad with extrication, and one to man the handline. The crews from 33 and 6 worked together to attack both vehicles and extricate the victims, who were handed over to EMS units. Five victims were freed from the vehicles, and a total of 6 were transported to area trauma centers.
Monday, June 1, 2015
At 1317 hours, Engine Company 33 was dispatched for the auto accident
with one trapped. Engine 331 arrived on the southbound (inner loop) side of the Beltway prior to Central Avenue to find a white work van on its side. The crew from Engine 331 found one
patient inside the van who was not able to get out. Battalion Chief 881
(Wargo) arrived and established the Beltway command and assigned E331 "Suppression" division. Engine 331 assisted the Rescue Squad from 27, and
the patient was safely removed to awaiting EMS crews where he was
transported to the hospital.
Saturday, May 30, 2015
In the mid afternoon, the volunteers from Station 33 were alerted to 5109 North Englewood Dr for the reported house fire. The engine responded with 6 men as the second due engine. Engine Company 33 picked up the first due engine's hydrant and ran the 400' preconnect to the reported address, where they discovered that the Bravo side exterior of the house was involved in fire, which the engine company quickly extinguished. Company 33 went ready after operating for approximately 30 minutes.
Friday, May 29, 2015

Herbed Roast Turkey
|14 Pound (At Room Temperature, 6 - 7 Kilogram)
|Yellow onion
|1 , quartered
|Celery stalks
|2 , cut into 2-inch lengths
|Fresh parsley sprigs
|Bay leaf
|Dried sage
|1 Tablespoon
|Dried thyme
|2 Teaspoon
|Dried marjoram
|2 Teaspoon
|To Taste
|Freshly ground pepper
|To Taste
|Unsalted butter
|3 Ounce, melted (6 Tablespoons, 90 Gram)
Preheat an oven to 425°F (220°C).
Position a rack in the bottom third of the oven.
Oil a V-shaped rack in a roasting pan.
Remove the neck, gizzard and heart from the turkey, if included; reserve for another use.
Rinse the bird in cold water and pat dry with paper towels.
Place the onion, celery, parsley and bay leaf in the cavity.
In a small bowl mix together the sage, thyme and marjoram.
Place 2 teaspoons of the mixture in the cavity, then sprinkle with salt and pepper.
Truss the turkey, if desired; brush with some of the butter and sprinkle, especially the breast and thighs, with the remaining herb mixture and salt and pepper.
Place on the rack in the pan, breast-side down.
Roast for 40 minutes, basting with butter after 20 minutes.
Reduce the heat to 325°F (165°C), turn breast-side up and continue to roast, basting with the remaining butter until used up and then with the pan juices every 15-20 minutes.
Roast until golden and cooked through.
After about 2 1/2 hours, start testing for doneness by inserting an instant-read thermometer in the thickest part of the breast away from the bone; it should register 165°F (74°C).
Alternatively, insert it in the thickest part of the thigh; it should register 180°F (82°C).
The turkey should roast a total of about 3 1/2 hours or 15-17 minutes per pound (500 g).
Transfer to a warmed platter and cover loosely with aluminum foil until ready to carve, about 20 minutes.
Meanwhile, use the pan juices to make the gravy.
Carve the turkey and serve with the gravy.

Medicine seems to be winning the war against cancer: this year, although more Europeans than ever will die from cancer, as a proportion of the population, the number is dropping.
So say Carlo La Vecchia at the Mario Negri Institute for Pharmacological Research in Milan, Italy, and his colleagues who analysed data on cancer mortality rates across the European Union between 1970 and 2007. They combined these figures with the European Commission's projections of population sizes.
They say the overall number of cancer deaths is set to rise in 2012 because of ageing populations. However, cancer mortality will drop from 2007 levels by around 10 per cent in men and 7 per cent in women.
"It means that treatments and preventions are working," says Valerie Beral at the University of Oxford, adding that an influential factor in declining mortality rates has been people giving up smoking.

Application: A T I N
Extraction Method: Steam distillation
Aromatic Description: Hot, smoky, herbaceous, woody, dry
Main Chemical Components: Myrrh sesquiterpenoid, curzerene
Plant Part: resin
Ancient records show that Myrrh was deemed so valuable that at times it was valued at its weight in gold. Myrrh essential oil is derived from the gummy resin of the small, thorny Myrrh tree and has been used for centuries for its internal and external health benefits.
Referenced in the Bible as the Balm of Gilead, Myrrh has been used throughout history as a perfume, incense, and medicine. It was also employed in embalming and religious ceremonies. Myrrh has powerful cleansing properties, especially for the mouth and throat. It is also soothing to the skin—promoting a smooth, youthful looking complexion—and promotes emotional balance and well-being.
• Add 1–2 drops to toothpaste for added cleansing benefits and to promote oral health.
• Diffuse to help promote awareness and uplift your mood.
• Add to your lotion/moisturizer to help reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
• Add 1–2 drops to ¼ cup of water with a little agave or honey to help stomach aches.
Diffusion: Use three to four drops in the diffuser of your choice.
Internal use: Dilute one drop in 4 fl. oz. of liquid.
Topical use: Apply one to two drops to desired area. Dilute with dōTERRA Fractionated Coconut Oil to minimize any skin sensitivity. See additional precautions below.
Possible skin sensitivity. Keep out of reach of children. If you are pregnant, nursing, or under a doctor's care, consult your physician. Avoid contact with eyes, inner ears, and sensitive areas.

It's been a wonderful first year of fatherhood for Kevin Jonas, who, along with his wife Danielle, celebrated little Alena Rose's first birthday this past weekend.
Last year he divorced Kris Jenner after a prolonged separation, but Bruce Jenner is still all about taking care of his fatherly duties.
It's safe to say the Kardashian-Jenner clan rule the social medal realm and on Monday (January 19) there were several contributions from most of the famous sisters.
To start, Khloe Kardashian showed some love for her reclusive brother Rob by uploading a throwback pic along with the caption, "My ace from day 1." She previously tweeted, "one of the best things about my house is that my brother lives with me!"
Kicking off the New Year with some exciting news, Alec Baldwin and his wife Hilaria Baldwin are gearing up for their second child together.
Following a few weeks on the road, LeAnn Rimes was happy to return to her hunky husband Eddie Cibrian and stepsons Mason and Jake earlier this week.
They love to make the most of their rare times all together as a family and last night (October 26) Chris Hemsworth and Elsa Pataky took their kiddos to the beach.
The "Thor" hunk carried one of his twins (either Sasha or Tristan) in a Baby Bjorn while his gorgeous wife tended to the other and held hands with two-year-old daughter India Rose.
Up to this point he's steered clear of the uber-popular Instagram social media site, but Brian Austin Green clearly couldn't resist forever.
The 41-year-old "Beverly Hills: 90210" stud snagged the handle "arent_you_that_guy" and began posting this week, much to his fans' delight.
Though we're used to seeing him taking shots at talent show hopefuls, Simon Cowell definitely has a softer side, too.
The "X Factor" stud posted a selfie with his six-month-old son Eric via Twitter on Wednesday (August 13) along with the caption, "Taking after daddy."

Officials 'top off' School of Dentistry addition
UofL and Messer Construction officials signed the highest beam before putting it into place at a topping-off ceremony April 1 at the School of Dentistry.
Workers now have finished putting the steel beams in place for the 20,000-square-foot addition, which will include a new entrance to the school. Completion is scheduled for fall 2011.
"These upgrades will have far-reaching effects on our capacity for innovation and will help bring us closer to our goal to become a premier metropolitan research university," said Larry Cook, executive vice president for health affairs.
The oral surgery and radiology clinics already are complete with new chairs, lighting, cabinetry and touch-screen computer terminals.
This is the first major renovation to the dental school since it moved to Preston Street in 1970.
