IMAP gmail issues since software 2.2 update
I recently (yesterday) downloaded 2.2 for iPhone. Since then I have had gmail email issues on the phone. Today I tried the following things - all with the same result (cannot connect using SSL, account verification failed, IMAP server errors):
Have restarted phone (several times).
Have erased mail account and entered again (tried with google button, used other and tried both IMAP and POP) (several times each)
Have checked my gmail account for issues (both enabled for IMAP and POP)
Can someone help me? Not much of a point of having an update which is supposed to help the push issues, when you cant access email at all. Does anyone know if Google is having issues?
iMac Mac OS X (10.4.11)

5.0 out of 5 stars Hoffman At Her Very Best!,
Louise Jolly "Bookaholic" (Ontario, Canada) - See all my reviews
Story Description:
Over five years in the writing, The Dovekeepers is Alice Hoffman's most ambitious and mesmerizing novel, a tour de force of imagination and research, set in ancient Israel.
In 70 C.E., nine-hundred Jews held out for months against armies of Romans on Masada, a mountain in the Judean desert. According to the ancient historian Josephus, two women and five children survived. Based on this tragic and iconic event, Hoffman's novel is a spellbinding tale of four extraordinarily bold, resourceful, and sensuous women, each of whom has come to Masada by a different path. Yael's mother died in childbirth, and her father an expert assassin, never forgave her for that death. Revka, a village baker's wife, watched the horrifically brutal murder of her daughter by Roman soldiers; she brings to Masada her young grandsons, rendered mute by what they have witnessed. Aziza is a warrior's daughter, raised as a boy, a fearless rider and an expert marksman who finds passion with a fellow solider. Shirah, born in Alexandria, is wise in the ways of ancient magic and medicine, a woman with uncanny insight and power.
The lives of these four complex and fiercely independent women intersect in the desperate days of the siege. All are dovekeepers and all are also keeping secrets about who they are, where they come from, who fathered them, and whom they love. The Dovekeepers is Alice Hoffman's masterpiece.
My Review:
I have read a lot of novels about ancient Jerusalem during this era but I must begin this particular review with one word - WOW!! I was completely entranced with Alice Hoffman's The Dovekeepers which took place during the Roman siege during the first century abbreviated as C.E. which stands for Common Era. Common Era refers to the years counting forward from the birth of Jesus. C.E. has mostly replaced the old use of A.D. in an effort to appease non-theological references and non-believers. The use of Common Era is a more accepted practice now.
The Jewish war was written around 75 C.E. by a man named Flavius Josephus who was a Jewish historian.
Masada was a desert fortress situated at the top of a rock cliff at the western end of the Judean Desert and overlooking the Dead Sea. Masada is the Hebrew word for fortress.
Hoffman delivers a breathtaking account of the fall of Jerusalem and the destruction of the Temple in 70 C.E. In 73 C.E. the Roman Governor Flavius Silva marched against Masada with the Tenth Legion. The Romans quickly built camps at the base of Masada in preparation to lay siege to it. They built massive walls and constructed a rampart, then built a huge ramp, moved the battering ram up the ramp and breached the wall of the fortress.
The story is told through the voices of four different women: Yael, Revka, Aziza and Shirah. Each of these women had secrets about where they came from, who they are, who their fathers were, and who they love. Each of the women's stories bound them together throughout the novel emotionally and symbolically. The change in each woman's story flowed effortlessly and leant to the dynamic retelling of this sad and tragic period in history.
The dramatic end to this story will rip your heart out and leave tear-stains on your pages as you turn them. The title The Dovekeepers has a symbolic meaning throughout the story.
I've read a lot of Hoffman's work and I believe this to be her very best. I believe this will become a classic in the future and a novel that will be talked about in book groups, people's living rooms, in the news and will be a bestseller. I for sure will be touting the merits of this book to anyone and everyone who will listen. Kudos to you Ms. Hoffman!

3.0 out of 5 stars A Sign of Peace,
Marion Marchetto, author of The Bridgewater C... (Florida USA) - See all my reviews
As a longtime fan of Alice Hoffman, I was thrilled to find this latest offering. This author is known for her strong female characters and in The Dovekeepers she does not disappoint. The lure of four strong females was irresistible.
Set on the plains of Masada, four women of varied backgrounds find themselves at a crossroad in history. Two survive, two do not. The two women and five children are the only survivors of the massacre at Masada.
What started out as a personal look at history through the eyes of the women soon became bogged down with too much history. Yes, it was realistic. Yes, I did feel like I was present. But in this case I believe the writer's adage of "Show, Don't Tell" should have been more literally followed. For me there was not enough dialogue to move the story forward at a quicker pace. I felt the story was bogged down with weighty explanations of history. While I am a firm believer that history should be honored, I also believe that sometimes too much history can be a bad thing. After all, this is a work of fiction.
Having said that, I do honor the amount of research and preparation that went into this book. I'm sure the author lived the lives of her characters as she researched them. Well done on that score!
For my tastes, the book was drawn-out and tended to slow down in too many places. I found myself being distracted by outside forces too much. Not the kind of book I couldn't put down.
I look forward, however, to Ms. Hoffman's next offering.

4.0 out of 5 stars Lovely but lengthy,
Paula M. Schuck "Inkscrblr" (London, ON. Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Dovekeepers: A Novel (Hardcover)
Dovekeepers was a beautiful read I lined up to get a crack at months ago. Told separately by four amazing strong women, the common thread of dove keeping binds them together as women's work during the days of Masada. There are hInts of magic realism here and some remarkable characters that may break your heart. Against the backdrop of the Judean mountain called Masada these four women come together to learn and unravel their own secrets. My only criticism of this novel was the shyer length. It might have benefitted from a more aggressive edit.

3.0 out of 5 stars `Let our story bear witness that we perished out of choice, ..,
Jennifer Cameron-Smith "Expect the Unexpected" (ACT, Australia) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Dovekeepers: A Novel (Hardcover)
.. a choice we made at the beginning, to choose death rather than slavery.'
In this novel, Alice Hoffman attempts a retelling of the Jewish resistance at Masada during the Roman siege during the first century CE. I've since read that the only account we have of this event is `The Jewish War' written around 75 CE by Flavius Josephus, a Jewish historian who became a Roman citizen. Masada, according to Josephus, was fortified by Herod the Great (between 37 and 31 BCE) as a refuge for himself in case of a revolt. The historical context, as I understand it, can be summarised as follows: in 66 CE, at the beginning of the first Jewish Revolt against the Roman Empire, a group of Jewish extremists known as the Sicarii (a subset of the Zealots) overcame the Roman garrison at Masada, and settled there. Three years later, after the Siege of Jerusalem and the subsequent destruction of the Second Temple, other members of the Sicarii as well as other Jewish families fled from Jerusalem and settled at Masada.
`We were a city and a world unto ourselves, with more people arriving all the time.'
The account of the siege of Masada was supposedly related to Josephus by two women who had hidden inside a cistern together with five children, thus avoiding the mass suicide that supposedly ended the siege.
`.. some days were meant to remember that the past was with us still.'
`The Dovekeepers' tells the story of the siege through the interactions of six different women: Shirah, the Witch of Moab, and her two daughters Aziza and Nahara; Yael, the daughter of a political assassin; Revka, whose husband has been killed by the Romans and whose daughter has been brutalised by them; and Channa, the reclusive wife of the leader of the Jewish rebels. Shirah, Aziza, Nahara, Yael and Revka are the dove keepers: tending Masada's dovecotes.
The novel has four main sections, narrated by Yael, Revka, Shirah and Aziza who each describe their lives before arriving at Masada. While these four stories are diverse, the voices seem remarkably similar. This may have been intended (given that the story is being related by a survivor) but it sometimes hampered my reading of the story. At times, too, I felt that the events being recounted were overwhelmed by the language used to describe them. As a consequence, some of the actions taken seemed contrived.
This is not a fast read: it takes time to make sense of the four individual narratives, to appreciate how they come together to provide the setting for the ending of the siege. Life at Masada, surviving precariously in the close quarters of a fortress, must have been difficult. Internal dissent and the difficulties of growing their own crops (with fertilizer provided from the dovecotes) were frequently as much of a challenge as Roman attack.
And the end? The story recounted by the survivors is horrific. I did not particularly enjoy this novel but it made me curious about the events surrounding the siege of Masada.
`A story can be many things to many people.'
Jennifer Cameron-Smith
5.0 out of 5 stars Dovekeepers is a must read to sink deep into the lives of the historical ways of women!,
I am loving the Dovekeepers. It is a captivating excerpt of a time in history that quickly drew me in to the characters and the various scenes there were living in during that time. I found my imagination and senses drawn deeply into the tone of that time in history as well. Each characters inner and outer life is individually and uniquely portrayed in such a way that one cannot help but get the essence of character.
The four women bring the novel even more to life in the individualized life adventures however it is their inner lives, the secrets they keep, their individual passion leanings that drew me in the more. As well I found the correlations of these woman's lives in our modern times is insightful and deepening.
Not looking forward to not being on the journey of life with these women as they have been a delight to get to know.
It is clear in the rhythm of the story that Alice Hoffman has done her homework on this novel and I look forward to reading more from her.
Best novel I have read in my life that educates, inspires, connects and supports the birthing of my faith and those early days of the whys and how.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Dove Keeper by Alice Hoffman,
This review is from: The Dovekeepers: A Novel (Hardcover)
This book had my interest from begining to the end.The characters are full of depth and at the end I left me wanting more. The growth of each character developing with the actual historic event was well done. I have recommeded this book to my friends who are now reading it.
1.0 out of 5 stars yet the execution so poor that any goodwill towards the story is effectively squandered ...,
The potential of this book is astounding, yet the execution so poor that any goodwill towards the story is effectively squandered by a few pages in. The characters are flat and their voices barely differentiated; there almost seems no need to have four separate voices since the voices are identical. The situations are melodramatic. The writing is plodding and the book too long.
Edits, which one guesses would have been extremely wrenching for the author, could make this book into a lean and intriguing story worthy of praise. But as it stands, this book is painful and not worth the time involved to get through the meandering, overwritten prose and the inane characters.
4.0 out of 5 stars History and fiction make a good mix.,
I don't know if I was so engrossed because I had been to Israel and Masada but I think other readers would be engrossed too. It is the story of the dove keepers of Masada before and during the time of the roman invasions. Be warned it is a bit gruesome in parts but it was a time of war and some of the descriptions are graphic. Nonetheless the characters are great. This is a novel I had read and bought for my daughter in Canada via Amazon. Based in history and a very good read.
5.0 out of 5 stars This is an excellent book and one that I recommend to people who love 'history' behind a story.,
I have recommended this book to all my friends and I also recommend it to anyone who loves 'history''...you will enjoy this story. You visually see in your mind the fate that awaited the Jews on Masada. It is one of the books in my library that I will NOT loan out. If you wish to read it and not buy it , then go to the library and borrow it but be warned that you may want to buy it for yourself.
2.0 out of 5 stars The Dovekeepers,
This review is from: The Dovekeepers: A Novel (Kindle Edition)
We read this book for our book club. I found the book interesting from the historical angle, but too long and very dark. The 4 female characters were an interesting thread but some questions I had were never resolved to my mind. If this had not been a book club selection I do think that I would have chosen it or finished it.

Rise is too short.
By CT1
from Connecticut
Comments about Jos. A. Bank Signature 2-Button Wool Suit- Sizes 44 X-Long-52:
The rise on these pants (48 Regular Suit) is way too short, and the waist is a little big. The waist can be taken in but there is nothing that can be done about the rise in the pants. When I called customer support, they were not really interested in helping and just told me to return it to my local Jos. A Bank. Not the fit, not the service I was expecting.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

All Seekers are welcome to enter our threshold.
We invite you you take on the mystical journey into the central mystical teachings of the Christ. The Age of Aquarius is the Age of Revelation. We are now at the dawn of the Golden Age.
2000 years ago, during his 18 lost years, Jesus was trained in the mystic arts of India, Babylon, Himalayas, Persia, Alexandria and Greece. Then he was finally put to initiation by the silent brotherhood in Egypt where he passed the test that crowned him the christus of the piscean age.
During his ministry, he taught the greatest teachings to free men from the bondage of false beliefs and superstition. He gave the right perspectives to spiritual values. And he taught us how we can do greater things than he did.
The Pristine Christian Church is not a new religion. It is a new way of looking at Jesus, our Redeemer, and at the history of evolution and salvation, with fresh inputs from the Aquarian Gospels. These revelatory scriptures support modern day intergration of religion, science and philosophy.
The aquarian Gospel of Jesus the Christ reveals the long, detailed version of Jesus' Life and works as it is kept in its pristine state in the Akashic Records, the book of God's Remembrance.
The revelation of the Aquarian Gospel was prophesied 2000 years ago by Elihu, who conducted a school of the prophets in Zoan, Egypt. He said thus:
This age will comprehend but little of the works of Purity and Love; but not a word is lost, for in the Book of God's Remembrance a registry is made of every thought and word and deed.
And When The world is ready to receive, lo, God will send a messenger to open up the book and copy from its sacred pages all the messages of Purity and Love. - AG 7:25-26
"I lived to show the possibilities of man.
What I have done all men can do, and what I am all men shall be"
- Aquarian Gospel 178:45-46

Improving Birth National Rally for Change
Sept 3, 2012
10am - noonWe are rallying across the country with women and birth professionals for evidence based maternity care. Please go to improvingbirth.org to search for participating cities.
Im in bump
Slightly crunchy mama of three, one cs, one ubac, one vbac. Planning a vbac in October. Bookworms anonymous member.
Here is the website if anyone is interested to see if there is a rally site in your city!
I look forward to going in San Diego :)
I'm going to the one where I live. I've never done anything like this before, but it sounds like fun.
Did anyone go to theirs? I missed it because my car had broken down. :(
I made it with my daughter! There was a fairly good turnout, but it was pretty hot outside and as it was labor day there wasn't much traffic past our rally site.
I think the overall message is awesome, but I'm pretty ambivalent about some other aspects of it, particularly that only "approved" slogans were allowed on signs. And that the organizers were really denouncing the term "protest", even though I understand in this circumstance a protest isn't exactly necessary or desirable, but protests aren't horrible evil things and have historically accomplished a whole lot. Like Labor Day, thanks to the labor struggle which involved a hell of a lot of protests and ultimately won workers the 40 hour work week. So it just really irks me to be talking shit about protests on a day that you have off of work thanks to protests, haha.
I went and it was very positive. We are hoping to follow up by starting a birthcircle (or similar opportunity) 4-6 times a year to give women more opportunities to explore birth options.
I found it interesting that the only negative exchanges we had were people that thought we were some kind of abortion/right to life rally/protest?
The signs that gave them this impression were "evidence based birth" and "know your options" or possibly just seeing something with birth or a pregnant woman.
Only 1 person came back to actually talk to us but we had a few cars where people screamed out the window "You should be ashamed of yourself."
Any other locations run into this too?
It was annoying that the press did not show up at our location. We had at least 25 adults and the cutest children and babies.
I certainly would have liked for the few cars that yelled at us to have actually seen the reason why we were there-- hopefully other stories made it to them.
Dh, Joshua Rebeccaand . for Laura
Weird, we didn't have anything like that happen! Though we did have someone yell "Hippies go home!" but that just made everyone laugh. And local news did show up, but there were about 200 people at the rally

Pretty system tray: not just about icon themes
It's good to see other parts of the OSS community looking at the current state of the X system tray and not be satisfied at all, it's good because as you can see from this blog, i think the current approach is really really limited in many ways, as it was explained several times...
This time is about look... now, the idea of having monochrome systray icons is actually quite good, but is quite a pita with the current protocol and actually a good use case for the new one.. why?
Let's say we have a black panel (as the mockup of jono's blog), so it's reasonable to expect we want white icons, but what about if we suddenly change our color scheme to a light colored one? (or plasma theme in case of KDE)
Of course the icons will become invisible, so we could need to change all of them to another theme on the fly, and this could mean also that those icons can't belong to the system wide icon theme, or we could have to change the global theme just for the systray, that's no good, right? :)
Now, the current systray protocol requires that is the application itself draws its own icon, and this theme-dependent icon color switching is kinda possible (just open the configuration of the panel... by every application) but it's really clumsy and not cross desktop at all.
The dbus based systray protocol we're working on requires instead that is the systray the one who paints all the icons, and being part of the panel of course it knows well what the color scheme is.
The icons can be sent in Dbus by data, passing all the icon bytes themselves and in this case of course we can't do much more than painting what it arrives, but the recomended way is to just pass the icon name (following the icon name freedesktop spec of course) and in this way we can decide where to pick this icon, we could have systray-specific icon themes dependent from the color scheme (falling back to the system wide one of course)
Now, I don't know if we'll actually implement a thing like that and if it's worth the effort, but it's a while we are talking about that thing and i think soon or later I'll give this idea a spin :D
@Vladimir: Just for your information: OS X has monochrome systray icons for ages! And this is a) not Windows 7 and b) perfectly usable!
Few more things
Also, i have a few more doubts about this not related to similarity to Redmond OS.
1) Was there any usability test to prove that this is in any way better than current approach? Here is one test for you. Use transparent panel and light (or dark) plasma theme, put monochrome icons in taskbar and put some wallpaper with bright (or dark) colors (like sky (at night)). Yeah, perfectly usable. And recognizing which icon represents what is even greater problem.
2) This will just alienate KDE from other DEs. The non-kde applications you run on it will stand out even more. How is that good? Windows 7 uses monochrome just for OS related stuff (like usb devices, network...), not every application.
KDE is really great, it pushed the desktop experience further, but really not every idea about a change is always good.
Monochrome, Win7...
The goal of Oxygen icon theme is as follows:
"Make a break with the past and go in a new direction, leaving behind the cartoonish and childish look of previous graphics"
-taken from Oxygen website
Now it appears to be different, when we have stripped down, simple monochrome icons. With just black and white, what can you really draw? Just outline, something simple, that's all. Not something visually pleasing and realistic what Oxygen wanted to do.
And why do you do it then? Because Redmond thinks that's the way to do it?
+1 for monochrome icons from me too! :)
Another thought on additional monochrome icons: This way the user could choose monochrome for status icons (think Mac menubar, multicolored icons don't look nice here) and the normal multicolored ones for more application like systray apps (possibly in separate systrays). And IMO this needs to be forced somehow on the developers, otherwise you'll never get a perfect experience.
Icon themes
(Provided I understood it right) icon themes for the systray will have the problem, that they hardly cover all the systray icons out there. And so those not covered will look out of place. What about adding a monochrome icon to the spec and have apps provide it and then let the panel theme automatically color them in a matching color?
Good idea
+1. Do it!
Oh yes, give it a spin !! I'd love to have sexy monochrome systray icons :)
Oh yes, give it a spin !! I'd love to have sexy monochrome systray icons :)
> Is the new systray used in KDE 4.3?
yes, in an experimental way, some applications use it, on top of my head:
kmix,kwallet,nepomuk,kget,krandrtray and i'm pretty sure i forgotten something
target is to have a way more streamlined for 4.4
Code your own DE, if you don't like KDE ...
... but stop insulting people who do all this work in their free time!
Maybe similarities are just due to something like contemporary taste, trends and the like.
Don't all cars produced in one year look very alike? And didn't the cars produced let's say in 1950 or 1970 look very alike to each other, but not to the ones from 1990 or 2009?
Windows 7
Totally agree with Vladimir.
Windows Vista has black taskbar, Oxygen had black taskbar, Windows 7 get transparent themes, KDE4 gets transparent themes, Windows 7 gets Aero Peek, KDE4 gets something similar, Windows 7 gets neatly arranged and autohidden systray icons, KDE4 does so too.
Makes you wonder that Pinheiro, Seigo and Martin must be practically living inside Ballmer's rear end
Is the new systray used in KDE 4.3?
Windows 7?
One good thing about KDE is: You can tweak it to look like whatever you want, so just go and change the look and feel!
In my humbly opinion, however, KDE (also in the default seeting) does NOT look like Win7, have you ever seen such an ugly control panel like the one from Redmond? It looks like a bad mockup.
Windows 7
When will KDE stop mimicking windows 7 L&F? With every release plasma theme looked more and more like windows, and now we have systray icons like that os. What's next?
you rock
And this message is approved by Oxygen! :) Realy it is there is no one design fits all and chaging the plasma theme as some contrast issues as the batery icon clearly shows...

Circle zerg

Circle zerg (or "circle-zerg") is a term used for a defense strategy in the new Tol Barad PvP zone (although it is really just a big battleground). The basic strategy is simple: since the attackers need to cap 3 buildings near "towers" (Ironclad Garrision, Slagworks, and Warden's Vigil) to win, the defense can just get a large group to rotate through each tower area to try to take it back aka circling a zerg group.
There are counters to this tactic, but it is generally effective if both teams are relatively disorganized.

August 4, 2015
AUSTIN (AP) - The public's access to concealed handgun licenses -- is now cut off.
Governor Rick Perry has signed into law a bill that seals state records showing who is allowed to pack a gun in public.
Only law enforcement agencies would have access to the license
information. The law took effect immediately upon its signing Wednesday.
Representative Patrick Rose of Dripping Springs says the steps that law-abiding Texans take to protect themselves and their families should be issues of private concern.
The media urged Perry to veto the bill, saying it was an open government issue -- not a gun issue.
Anyone can check on information from other types of licenses the state issues, such as those for doctors, nurses, lawyers, real estate agents and barbers.
The Texas Department of Public Safety maintains concealed handgun records.

My take on the Tama Speedcobra.....

Re: My take on the Tama Speedcobra.....
They are great pedals. I had been playing mine for a couple of years before I switched to a jojo pedal.
For me the experience of the pedal was as advertised. Speed and power. More specifically speed and power when playing heel up. With this pedal I could roll off doubles and triplets with ease and volume. The only problem was I got too dependent on it and when I tried playing a normal length pedal I could not play with as much ease. Also playing heel down was difficult for me due to the length of the board.
With the jojo pedal I'm having to recalibrate my playing more and use more ankle and less leg.
**fun fact** you can totally put a Gibralter strap on the Speed Cobra.

CLARION - The Clarion Area Lady Bobcat volleyball team eliminated the Elk County Catholic Lady Crusaders from the District 9-A volleyball tournament Thursday night in a match played at the Clarion Area High School.
Clarion won the first set 25-21, took the second set 25-13 and the third set 25-19.
"We played well at times in the first and third sets," said ECCHS coach Diane Gies. "We're an inexperienced team playing well at this time of the year against a ranked opponent.
In an effort to prevent further thefts of road signs, Fox Township chose to install surveillance cameras at various intersections throughout the township.
The tactic has worked, as five people are currently awaiting their preliminary hearings, all of whom were caught stealing signs on July 15, 2011. The group includes a mixture of three adults and two juveniles.
"From January 1, 2011 to July 1, 2011, we had just under $2,200 worth of signs stolen," said Fox Twp. Supervisor and Public Works Director Randy Gradizzi.
A grassroots movement is taking place in Elk County and beyond. No, the campaign has nothing to do with occupying Wall Street, but rather aims to "bring the cow home." The cow being referred to is a 15-foot tall, fiberglass cow that stood for many years in front of the Ayrshire Dairy on the Old Kersey Road in Kersey. The cow, now in Reedsville, Pa., became a local landmark and roadside attraction. It was commonly used as a photo op for families and tourists who posed for pictures with it when visiting the dairy.
Elizabeth (Betty) Schwarzbach, 68, of Columbus, Ohio, died Friday, Oct. 21, 2011.
She was born September 2, 1943, in St. Marys, daughter of the late Walter and Mary "Mookie" Mahaney.
She married Franz Schwarzbach in June 1963 in St. Boniface Church in Kersey. He survives.
In addition to her husband, she is survived by two sons, Franz and Thomas of Ohio; a daughter, Maria See and a granddaughter, Shyanne See, also of Ohio; two sisters, Jane Rigard of Kersey and Patti Eckl of Daguscahonda; and one brother, Tom Mahaney of St. Marys.
Richard L. "Dick" Clevenger Sr., of James City, died Thursday, November 3, 2011 at Kane Community Hospital after a brief illness.
Born August 17, 1938, in Fisher, he was a son of the late Benjamin and Dorothy Rhodes Clevenger.
Mr. Clevenger served in the U.S. Army from 1957 to 1960. Later in life, he joined the Army National Guard and served with the Kane Unit for 20 years. During that time they were deployed for service in support of Operation Desert Storm in Iraq.

Don't have much- what can I make? [Moved from Pacific Northwest board]
Boneless, Skinless Chkn Breast
1 lb ground beef
garlic powder
veggie oil
cream of mushroom soup
chkn noodle soup
green beans
chili with beans
chili powder
tater tots
grated cheese
parmesean cheese
mayo/mustard/ketchup/ranch dressing/bleu cheese dressing
important to note: No butter!! aaaaa! I can't afford to go out, and I have about $10 to buy other groceries. Can you help me find a meal that doesn't require spending more then $10 on extra needs? I think butter may be part of my purchase...
By my count you have the makings now of four dinners, more if you make a few purchases. 1) 1/2 of the hamburger, saute it, mix with the Rice-a-roni to make a casserole, serve with the Parmesan cheese. 2) Other half of the hamburger, saute, mix with the chili and beans, spice up with more chili powder. If you can buy a box of macaroni to have with this you can eat for a week. 3) 1/2 of your chicken, flour it, saute in oil. Cook all of your potatoes, mash with milk, eat mashed potatoes now and later (they freeze too). You can use some flour and milk to make pan chicken gravy. 4) 1/2 of your chicken, put in baking dish, cover with undiluted mushroom soup, bake, have with some of those mashed potatoes. All of these meals should give you some leftovers. If you can buy anything, get a box of macaroni and a head of lettuce (you have salad dressing). You have corn and green beans for vegetables. If you have a little money, get a dozen eggs and a loaf of cheap white bread; that will give you French toast for substantial breakfasts or lunches all week. Any more questions? I did this stuff non-stop for seven years when my husband was in school fifty years ago. No sweat. Keep your kitchen clean: this improves your morale. Enjoy.
re: Querencia
that's amazing... thank you thank you thank you!!!
re: livn4hevn
You have gotten some great ideas to get you started. I know the foodies will cringe, but there were times I couldn't afford butter and used margarine. As long as other flavors are involved, such as onions and garlic, it will be fine. (Obviously you are not going to be making fettuccine alfredo or something where the butter flavor is predominant!) Tortillas are cheap and healthy and you can do wonders with a very small amount of ground beef or chicken with some beans or rice. Buy a can of chopped green chiles and make a casserole with Kings Ranch style casserole with your mushroom soup. Make beef and bean burritos with some cheese and serve with a salad. With $10 a day you could buy a lot of "extras" but by limiting your purchases to things like lettuce, eggs, pasta and various vegetables (I couldn't live without onions) you will have enough left over to buy some meat when your present supply is gone. I would think about hearty soups with a little meat, lots of vegetables and some starch (potatoes, rice, pasta), and casseroles, thrifty cooks' standbys. Best wishes. I think many of us have gone through these phases, and will have much better suggestions than I.
re: Querencia
This is one of those meals that I used to make for my kids. It was a tator tot casserole that they would beg me to make.
Green beans ( or fresh/frozen broccoli)
Cream of mushroom soup
Tator tots-
Put the tt in the oven and bake until a little crunchy.
Brown the meat with garlic and onion, drain the fat
Add the soup to a bowl, mix it with half a can of milk add salt pepper and garlic powder-add to the soup mix to the meat
Drain the green beans or broccoli
At the bottom place a layer of tator tots, then meat, then the veggie, keep layering until the casserole is full but the last layer should be the tator tots.
Top with cheese of your choice.
Bake at 350 bubbly
should get a couple of big meals out of this.
Another casserole with the hamburger is called Slumgolian.
It's a goulash dish made with wide egg noodles, hamburger, onions, garlic, corn, black olives in a tomato sauce. Pretty tasty!
Also a package of tortillas can be used making burritos and quesedillas adding anything to cheese for a little meal with a green salad.
potatoes dont' always freeze all that well.....in my experience.
I would suggest you spend some of your money on a big bag of onions........some eggs....maybe make a tortilla type thing with the potatoes..eggs........stretch the chili with beans with some hamburg, onions, and corn....I'd also suggest finding a cheap bag of broccoli-cauliflower type mix....and using this and chicken and rice a roni mix, as well as cream of mushroom soup to try and make some chicken divan type dish.
barring that, there's always a form of shephard's pie.......ground beef, onions etc.......peas etc.....type thing...topped with mash potatoes and cheese if you like.
If you had butter you could make a bechamel cheese sauce and serve it over the chicken breasts grilled:
parmesean cheese
If you had soft taco shells and shredded lettuce you could make tacos utilizing:
ground beef (or the chili with beans if it has meat in it)
chili powder
rice a roni
garlic powder
grated cheese
You could also make a Potato Gnocchi (w/ the potatoes and flour) and make either a browned butter sauce (served w/ parmasean) or a creamy tomato mushroom sauce from:
cream of mushroom soup
parmasean cheese
a little of the ketchup
Great challenge! I'd get some onions, butter, maybe some bulk spices (they are super cheap that way), whatever fruits or veggies on the biggest sale, either some dried beans or pasta
Let's see,
* a camping favorite in our house is a can of chili mixed with prepared mac'n'cheese. Yummy in a disgusting, camping way.
*Bake some potatoes. Scoop out the insides, mash them, and mix in grated cheese and diced onion, milk and butter, salt and pepper. Stuff the insides with the mixture, top with a bit more grated cheese, bake til all bubbly. These are good side dishes, but are really filling, too. Also freeze well.
*tater tot casserole! http://www.recipezaar.com/103811 is a variation; mess with it with the ingredients you have.
*could make soup with beans, beef, onions, corn, potatoes
I'd say you are pretty well stocked, actually.
Protein: chicken, ground beef, cheese, milk
Starch: flour, potatoes, tater-tots, corn, pasta from mac-cheese, rice-a-roni
Veges: green beans
Processed: chili, soups
Seasoning and other: s/p, sugar, oil, garlic, misc sauces.
What to buy: Looks like you're light on the veges, so that's what I'd spend at least some of my $10 on. Get whatever is in season and inexpensive (broccoli, cabbage, kale in the winter) and use that as a primary ingredient (broccoli with cheese sauce or just steamed for instance). Butter might be a good thing to give you a brighter outlook, and it's not that expensive. Plan your meals around the starch, then vegetables, and then how you're going to use the meat. Treat the meat as flavoring, like they always recommend in chinese cooking. So a single chicken breast might be enough for several people if it's combined with other things. Concentrate on the starch and veges, and let the meats be a treat. Variety is important.
When you shop, go to a Mexican market for low prices on staples. BTW, I really like black beans and rice, which is a very cheap dish. I'd splurge on the butter, and balance its cost with tortillas or similar. Buy day-old bread and make bread pudding.
What to make: Look up cheesy potatoes for a filling side dish. I've heard that cauliflower adds a lot to soups (ground up so it's not detectable), so maybe that's a vege candidate. Potato empanadas would be fun, or maybe hamburger in them. You could layer the mac and cheese with the canned chili in a casserole, then top with more cheese. For a special night, make crepes. You can still do 'themed' dinners (French, Mexican, whatever) to make it fun.

Hilbert College and St. Bonaventure University have begun a study that would examine the future relationship of the two Franciscan schools, including the potential for some type of merger.
Hilbert President Cynthia Zane and St. Bonaventure President Sister Margaret Carney shied away from using the word merger because they called it speculative about where the relationship between the two colleges might go and what it would eventually look like.
But it's clear both are looking to develop a more significant partnership to improve the shaky economic model that exists throughout higher education.

Domohorn Wrinkle is a brand that has just entered the Taiwanese and Hong Kong market with a bang. Developed by SAISHUNKAN Co. Limited, a Japanese pharmaceutical company, Domohorn Wrinkle is a 8-step anti-ageing skincare program that utilises up to 150 Chinese medicinal herbal extracts, to boost the health of the skin from within.
As lazy as I am, I still found the idea of an 8-step program intriguing, and with a trial set retailing at a tiny NT$198, I just had to give it a go.
The 3-day trial sets includes all 8 products:
Oil-in-Gel Remover (7g) / Silky Cream Foam (7g) / Relieving Foam Mask (8g) / Intense Hydrator (8mL) / Vital White Essence (3mL) / Cream20 (3g) / Milky Veil Lotion (5mL) / UV Dress Cream (1g)
1. Oil-in-Gel Remover
My score: 1/5
A gel cleanser that incorporates 6 types of natural oils. It cleanses makeup well enough for me, however I didn't find it to emulsify completely, leaving a slightly greasy film on my skin that I dislike. 110g retails NT$2000.
2. Silky Cream Foam
My score: 3.5/5
I don't really care for foaming face washes, but sadly this is what the majority of Taiwanese women like. However I quite liked this product, as it cleans without making my skin feeling dry afterwards. 110g retails NT$2000.
3. Relieving Foam Mask
My score: 4.5/5
A foam mask that gets absorbed into the skin. I have to admit that I was not committed to the program enough to do this as one of the steps, leaving it for a once to twice weekly treat like I do with other masks. But I really love this product! The foam is deliciously rich, and does a great job at revitalizing the complexion. 80g retails NT$4800.
4. Intense Hydrator
My score: 3/5
A skin softener that hydrates the skin and prepare it for the products afterwards. The texture feels more luxurious than the average drugstore hyaluronic acid fluids, but the results are quite similar. 120ml retails NT$2000.
5. Vital White Essence
My score: 4/5
A thick-ish serum that absorbs nicely into the skin, making it supple and bouncy. I also really like the scent – a subtle citrusy sandalwood fragrance that is lovely and soothing. 30ml retails NT$4000.
6. Cream20
My score: 3.5/5
A moisturising cream that hydrates and leaves a protective barrier on the skin, yet is non-greasy. The description on the Domohorn Wrinkle website says that this product effectively regenerates collagen in the skin, however the trial size of 3g did not last me long enough to experience such difference. 30g retails NT$5200.
7. Milky Veil Lotion
My score: 2/5
A milky runny lotion. I found it weird to apply a fluid after the cream, and have to say I don't really like it. Even without the cream underneath, this makes my skin looking and feeling oily. 100ml retails NT$2000.
8. UV Dress Cream (SPF31/ PA++)
My score: 5/5
A tinted moisturiser that smooths the skin tone and provides sun protection. I LOVE this product as it makes the skin look so glowy and healthy! It doesn't have enough coverage for hyper pigmentation, so suits those with already good skin, or team it with a good concealer and set with powder. 25g retails NT$2000.
I quite enjoyed using the Domohorn Wrinkle 8-step program, and felt that the products definitely work better together than individually. The 3-day trial kit actually lasted me about 5 days (except for the mask, which I only used a couple of times), and my skin felt healthier and more supple.
The stand-out products were the Silk Foam Mask, Vital White Essence, and UV Dress Cream, all of which I would be happy to incorporate into my everyday skincare routine.
HOWEVER, whilst the price for the trial kit is very reasonable, the full size products are extremely pricey – comparable to prestige brands such as Chanel. So whilst I liked the results Domohorn Wrinkle delivered, it wasn't drastic enough for me to shell out so much money. I would say 1/2 or 2/3 of its current price points would be a fairer amount.
Domohorn Wrinkle is available online and via phone orders only. For Taiwanese residents visit http://www.domohornwrinkle.com.tw Hong Kong residents visit http://www.dwrinkle.com.hk

A glitch in the card reader that decodes the election results is
holding up the publishing of precinct totals tonight. So far none have
been released. As of 10 p.m. results were still unavailable and election commission workers were on the phone with technical support trying to solve the problem.
A message now appears on the Dorchester Votes website that reads: "Result reports have been delayed temporarily. Keep checking back for updates."
Earlier in the evening at about 9 p.m. commissioner Josh Dickard said he thought the problem would be solved quickly and the bulk of the results would become available very soon.
In Colleton County, which has a piece of the Patsy Knight/Ed Carter race, the results are in. Three of the three precincts involved show 55.6 percent of the vote for Ed Carter and 44.4 percent for Patsy Knight. The totals are 541-432.
School Bond Referendum supporters who had poll watchers at each precinct are reporting that the first question in the referendum has passed and that the question on the aquatics center is too close to call. Because no official votes have been made available, these results have not been verified.
Earlier this evening, polls closed, darkness fell, and some voters waited in the dark to vote at several larger precincts. Dubose Middle was slowly winding down after 7 p.m. while Alston, Bethany and Knightsville were closed up tight on time at 7 p.m.Turnout overall was running well over 50 percent with some precincts as high as 75 percent before poll closings

PORTLAND — The coach came forcefully to the defense of his defense.
Asked during his postgame press conference on Sunday if the Portland Timbers defenders are good enough to win in Major League Soccer, Caleb Porter's response was almost defiant:
"Yes," Porter said sharply. "Yes."
Porter was not excusing the errors that handed the New York Red Bulls a quick 3-1 lead. He said such glaring errors will not be the norm.
Mikael Silvestre made two of them. The 35-year-old defender said miscommunication led to his awkward pass back to goalkeeper Donovan Ricketts. Ricketts reached down for the ball, but it bounced right to Red Bulls' forward Fabian Espindola.
Espindola also could thank Silvertre for his second goal, though it took a well-placed finish to beat Ricketts after the ball bounced past Silvestre to send the New York forward in alone on goal.
"Mikael made a couple of mistakes. He knows it. Mistakes he's rarely made," Porter said. "But some of that might have to do with the fact that he two days ago was in Paris."
Silvestre trained with Portland while the team was in Tucson. But the Frenchman had only two training sessions on Jeld-Wen Field before Sunday's game. Playing on an unfamiliar turf and communicating with new teammates under the din of Timbers Army noise proved challenging, even for a veteran of Europe's top competitions.
"Clearly the first half I wasn't in the game and had a lot on my mind," Silvestre said, later adding, "I think I was fit enough to play, but mentally I was maybe sitting doing my visa in Paris. I don't know."
Porter is confident Silvestre will be fine.
"He's still getting his legs underneath him. But he was tremendous in the second half." the coach said.
While Silvestre struggled early, Diego Valeri simply impressed.
The Argentine attacking midfielder scored a marvelous goal in the first half and was a big part of Portland's second-half domination. His bullet from 20 yards created the rebound that Darlington Nagbe converted for Portland's second goal, his lunging header directed the ball for Ryan Johnson's bicycle shot that just missed.
After halftime, it appeared Valeri pushed more forward up the field as one of four attackers the coach wanted going at New York's defense.
Porter said Valeri is "capable of pulling a rabbit out of a hat at any given moment."
After the game, the Argentine who has been in Portland for only two months, smiled and graciously did his best to answer media questions.
"I enjoyed the match," he said. "Congratulations to the Timbers Army because they are great. Maybe we don't start good, but I think that we showed that this is going to be a great team."
The next eight months will determine that. But on Sunday, Timbers fans had genuine reasons to be excited.
Among them:
The fantastic second half from Darlington Nagbe. The toughness of a Timbers team still in early development. A 21-10 shot advantage (13-4 in the second half). Passing accuracy of 84 percent on 549 passes and possession 63 percent of the time.
Sure, New York sat deeper in the second half, trying to protect a two-goal lead. But for an opening act, this wasn't half bad.
"This isn't going to be perfect on Day One," team captain Will Johnson said. "Obviously, we would have liked to have made less mistakes and won. This is a work in progress. This has been a complete overhaul. New coach. New system. A lot of new everything."

It seems like every day we're bombarded with images of celebs and models with pert, toned bums. The kind of bums that look great in a bikini and perfect in a pair of jeans. Kim Kardashian - we're looking at you.
Well, ladies, we have some good news for you. You too can tone your bum!
Yes, with a little bit of exercise you can transform a flabby behind into a pert peach (or at least make it a little bit more toned!)
We've found out the best toning exercises to get your bum in shape. But that's not all, oh no. We also found out what kind of sports help to tone your bum and discovered some simple every day habits that you can pick up to work your bum into shape.
Hurrah for easy exercise tips!
Three easy bum toning exercises
Guess how long these exercises take? Guess? Yep, just 5 minutes a day is enough.
1. On the floor
Sitting with your legs stretched out in front of you and your back straight, roll from one buttock to the other, using your arms to balance yourself. Repeat 30 times.
Variation: Still sitting down, but with a rounded back and your feet together, roll from one buttock to the other, using your knees to restrict your movement. Repeat 25 times.
2. Against a table or wall
Standing up straight, stretch one leg out to one side keeping your hips straight. Lower yourself until your foot almost touches the floor and repeat 20 times on each side.
Variation: Keeping your leg at a 90° angle with your toes pointed, make little circular movements 10 times on each side.
3. In water
In the pool, in a sitting position with a band or board under each arm and bent legs, open your knees by pushing outwards, then bring them together in front of you. Repeat 30 times.
Variation: Do the same exercise with your legs straight out in front of you (at a right angle to your trunk). Repeat 30 times.
aily habits
We don't actually use our bum muscles much day to day, but it's easy to get them working without too much effort.
Get about on foot as much as much as you can. The longer your strides the better!
Take the stairs
There's nothing better than a bit of climbing for toning your bum! Go up two by two, one slow and one fast, pushing off your legs well.
Clench your buttocks
When you're cooking, on the bus, queuing at the post office, in the shower and as often as possible, holding yourself upright, breathing deeply and holding the position.
Good sports for your bum muscles
Not only does it burn fat: running is also fab for toning the buttocks. There's no point in going too fast: you're better off having a longer run (at least 30-45 minutes), regularly.
Hill walking
Going up and down inclines works your buttocks constantly in different ways.
Great for toning, building muscle mass and eliminating toxins.
All of the strokes give the gluteals a good work-out and builds muscle mass. Swimming with flippers is even better.
Any type of dancing is excellent for those bum muscles, which is a great excuse to go out on a Saturday night!
Outdoor, winter and extreme sports
Skiing, boarding, windsurfing, roller blading and skating all involve lots of pushing movements which need extension of the leg - perfect for buttock toning.
Aerobics and elliptic training
Just like climbing stairs, but set to music with an instructor (which is far less boring!). Cross trainers and step machines do the same job.

Although a bit more cumbersome, the title Games, Puzzles, and Computational Complexity would describe this quite intriguing book more precisely. Since its early days, computer science has interacted with the world of games. Several examples that quickly come to mind arise out of the artificial intelligence end of the field, from chess-playing computers to what Turing called the "imitation game," now better known as the Turing test.
However, games and puzzles also possess a long history in the area of computational complexity, the study of the time and memory resources required in computation. The work of Cook, Levin, and Karp in the early 1970s inaugurated the investigation of NP-completeness. Already by the end of that decade, the classic treatise by Garey and Johnson listed "Games and Puzzles" as one of twelve categories in its compilation of known NP-hard problems. These included problems relating to checkers, go, hex, instant insanity, and crosswords. In the following years, many more complexity classifications of games and puzzles have appeared, running the gamut from chess to sudoku.
Typically, the hard part of such a classification consists of establishing a lower bound on the complexity. For example, one might easily show that a problem X lies in NP, while proving its NP-completeness demands more work. One often proceeds by taking a benchmark problem of known complexity and representing it within X, which is thus at least as complex as the benchmark.
In their book Hearn and Demaine present an elegant family of benchmarks they have developed, allowing them to settle open questions on the complexity of various games. Their construction has already found applications in non-game contexts as well, besides providing an interesting model of computation. Moreover, it can be stated, practically completely, in two sentences: Take a directed graph with weights assigned to the edges and vertices, subject to the constraint that the sum of the weights of the edges leading into each vertex exceeds that vertex's weight. Then reverse the directions of edges, keeping the constraint satisfied, until a target edge is reversed. A few variations on this very simple setting — can an edge be reversed more than once? does a single person reverse edges or do two competitors take turns? — yield natural, useful benchmarks at various complexity levels.
Part I of the book (about a hundred pages) sets up the graph framework and proves the appropriate complexity results for the benchmarks. Part II (about fifty pages) then applies the benchmarks to classify several puzzles and a few games. Additionally, a thirty-page appendix summarizes known complexity results for games and puzzles, providing a very useful update to the previously mentioned Garey-Johnson list. The authors also helpfully provide a ten-page appendix on fundamentals of complexity theory.
From time to time the text repeats itself, conveying a slightly padded feeling. However, this is a minor issue, and the authors certainly provide plenty to mull over. The publisher A K Peters has done a quite nice job of production, as well. All in all, this is a book well worth looking into.
Although in recent years Leon Harkleroad has spent much time with mathematical aspects of music, he still enjoys exploring his original stomping grounds of computability theory and related areas.

Do I need to take a spotter for my first backcountry bow elk hunt or not? Thx!!

Do I need to take a spotter for my first backcountry bow elk hunt or not? Thx!!
Manitory! Tou will hate yourself for not taking it.
It depends what you want to kill. If you want to really judge a bull and make sure it's large enough then yes. If you just want to shoot a bull and size does not really matter then you really don't need to take it.
if you are hunting in timber you won't need one.
Archery elk?
If you bring one it will be dead weight.
If you don't, you will wish you did.
Murphy loves this question.
Archery elk, I dont even put the spotter in a panyard. Antelope I always have it. Deer I always have it. Archery elk is so physical I just use the leica binos.
I bring my spotter on every hunt. The one exception is when I hunt Eastern Iowa.
Useless where I hunt, to much timber. Just need a good set of 10 X binos
As most have mentioned....its not the animal you hunt but the area you hunt. If its wide open country, then by all means if you own one bring the thing. Lets just make a logical thought here vs post this question. Is 10x or 60x the image going to help you more?
Next is the area your hunting. If you are in timber so dence you cant see more than 30 yards. (like where I hunt elk). Now the use of spotter is rather retarded and will be dead weight as said by BB. Your 10x binos will do just fine. Then again...they may be too much.
I use my binos when I can get up on a ridge and want to pick apart the timber below me. In the woods I have used them from time to time, but they often are too much and not worth the effort of raising them to my eyes.
When I elk hunt, I usually have a day pack on me. I have tried and tried to reduce weight while out hunting. I always return to my camp at night. The more weight you pack, the harder your hiking will be.
Dont need it IMO it's dead weight. My binos work just fine.

Indian medicine
A manuscript of the Atharva veda
About 1000 BC, doctors in northern India wrote the Atharva veda, a medical textbook explaining how to treat diseases. Like Egyptian medical texts a little earlier, the Atharva veda says that diseases are caused by bad spirits, and you treat the disease by killing the spirits with poisons or spells. One example is the treatment of leprosy with a kind of lichen, which might have worked as an antibiotic. Another example is the treatment of snakebite by reciting charms.
The surgeon Sushruta may have lived about 500 BC. Sushruta left a book, the Samhita, explaining his surgical methods. Sushruta described how to pull teeth, how to fix broken bones, and how to fix blockages of the intestines. He didn't have any anesthesia other than wine.
By about 200 AD, Indian doctors, like Chinese doctors and Greek doctors, had abandoned the idea of bad spirits in favor of the somewhat less wrong idea of dosha or humors. The doctor Charaka wrote perhaps about this time. Charaka recognized that prevention was the best cure for many diseases, and he recommended keeping your humors in balance in order to stay healthy. Charaka recognized three humors - bile, phlegm (snot), and wind. If your humors got out of balance, you should take medicines to rebalance them.
By this time, Indian doctors also knew more about how your body worked: Charaka knew that blood vessels both brought food to various parts of your body and also carried wastes away.
Charaka also made the earliest Indian reference to smallpox, and this is just around the time that smallpox first devastated the Roman Empire, coming from the East. Indian doctors were the first to invent a way to inoculate people against smallpox. In the 700s AD, a doctor called Madhav wrote about inoculation. Madhav knew that you could keep people from catching smallpox by scraping a little pus or scabs from someone who had smallpox, letting it sit around for a while, and then giving a small amount as an inoculation, either by sticking it into their skin on a needle, or by blowing the powder up their nose.
When Muslims conquered northern India about 1000 AD, many Persian doctors came to India from West Asia to work for Muslim kings there. These doctors realized that the Indian list of humors didn't match the Islamic list of humors, and tried to find out what was right. For example, some Muslim doctors began to include wind as one of the humors, and to combine black bile and yellow bile as one humor.
To find out more about Indian medicine, check out these books from your local library or from Amazon:
Science in Ancient India, by Melissa Stewart (2002). Written for kids.
Eyewitness India, by Manini Chatterjee (2002). Written for kids.
Ancient India, by Virginia Schomp (2005). Written for middle schoolers. Very good for reports.
