Turkey Gravy
Okay, we've made the turkey. Now it's GRAVY TIME! Why can I not say the word "gravy" without sneering and putting on an Elvis voice? I need therapy.
First things first: remember the freaky little bags of organs we pulled out of the turkey? We need to rinse them, then put them in a small saucepan. (Okay, okay, I know it looks gross. But it's a means to an end.)
Cover them with water, then bring to a boil and cook for about fifteen minutes, or until cooked thoroughly.
After they're cooked, turn off the heat and set aside. We'll need them (and the water) later.
After you take the turkey out of the roasting pan, this is what's left. In terms of Thanksgiving flavor, folks, this is Fort Knox.
Pour all the drippings into a separate container. Let it sit there and separate for awhile.
This is the pan after you pour off the drippings. Now, some folks like to clean out some of these little bits, but I like to leave it as is. Flavor, flavor, flavor. Now, set the roasting pan on the stove (I use two burners) and turn it on low heat.
Once the fat has separated from the drippings, skim it off the top…
And put it in a separate bowl.
I used to have one of those handy fat-separating ladles, but my boys tied it to the end of a golf club and used it to catch lobsters in our pond. Never mind that there are no lobsters in our pond.
There is, however, a handy fat-separating ladle at the bottom of our pond in case anyone would like to borrow it.
Now, put 3 or 4 tablespoons of the fat back into the roasting pan.
Now take 5 or 6 tablespoons of flour…
And sprinkle it into the pan.
With a whisk (I L-O-V-E this flat whisk for making gravy), stir the flour into the fat, scraping up all the bits from the bottom of the pan as you go.
Keep stirring until combined. You want it to be pasty (more floury than greasy), but still stirrable.
If you add too much flour and it gets cakey and dry, just add in another tablespoon of fat.
Cook the roux (fat/flour combo) over low heat until the color of the brown deepens, about 4 or 5 minutes.
Now, get 1 can of LOW SODIUM chicken broth. I didn't have any more in my pantry, so for the purposes of this demonstration I had to use the regular stuff. But I used hot pink letters in an effort to emphasize the utter importance of using LOW SODIUM chicken broth. Actually, it's more of a raspberry shade. But you get the idea. If you don't use LOW SODIUM chicken broth to make the gravy, the gravy will be way too salty. So please, use LOW SODIUM chicken broth.
Now, with the heat still on, pour the LOW SODIUM chicken broth into the pan, whisking as you go.
Work quickly to get all the roux mixed in with the liquid.
Now add in about 1 cup or so of the turkey drippings (not the fat—the drippings.)
Have I mentioned how packed with delicious flavor this stuff is?
Now whisk it in and stir as the gravy thoroughly warms and thickens.
At this point, if you'd like the gravy to be less "speckly" or "dirty" in appearance, you can skim a small strainer along the top. That'll clean it up a bit. Or, you can just leave it and rest assured it'll taste just perfect.
This stage of the gravy is very important; it has to cook for several minutes (even more) in order to thicken and reach the desired consistency. This is a very organic process and not difficult at all if you have a few tricks up your sleeve.
First, if the gravy gets too thick too soon, you can always thin it a bit with a little giblet water. It's flavorful without being salty.
You can also continue to add more turkey drippings if you think the gravy needs a little more depth of flavor.
And don't forget the black pepper—add as much as you want!
Just do NOT add salt indiscriminantly without tasting first.
Now, we talked about what to do if your gravy becomes too thick while it's cooking. But what if the gravy cooks and cooks but remains too thin? Piece of cake! Just mix 2 or 3 tablespoons of flour with enough water to make it stirrable, and stir it in. Slowly, the gravy will begin to thicken.
Now, when the gravy's close to being perfect, chop up the giblets you boiled earlier. I like to use the gizzards, when are the grayish/brown organs. The liver is the reddish/pink organ. I think. Actually, I don't know what I'm talking about.
Add them into the gravy. You can add as much or as little as you want; it's a personal preference. The giblets have a delightful—but strong—flavor, so if you're not sure, just taste as you go.
Incidentally tasting as you go is the key to making good gravy. Taste, then adjust, then taste again.
And voila! You've just made turkey gravy, baby. Elvis would be so proud of you.
Of course, he'd want you to spoon it over a peanut butter and banana sandwich…but that's outside the scope of this Thanksgiving series.

I DID IT. I made my first brined turkey/homemade gravy ever. And whom to thank?!
YOU. I could never have done this without your frame-by-frame assistance.
Bless you, PW. Bless your sweet cowgirl heart.

I loved this article. I hit ask.com (my very fav search engine for my many questions in life) wanting to know if it is safe to leave out my turkey drippings to cool before I make my gravy and this article intrigued me….soooo although it is 5 30 am and I am sooo tired, I HAD to respond to the smiles I enjoyed so early in the morning. Your photos were wonderful but it was your cleverly written instructions that really drew me in…if you are a writer or a blogger other than on this site,please feel free to send me your spot so I can continue to enjoy your work and humor again. I almost laughed out loud when I received my incoming visual of your boys with the ladel out by the pond hunting lobsters…soooo cute!!! Thank you for your wonderful site and I am going to send on your homeschooling info to a gal pal of mine.
Sincerely, Ruthie
PS- I opt out on the innards in my gravy coz I only like the flavor from the neck and meat but your instructions were perfect! xo pps. never underestimate the power of a smile this early in the day xo

You seem to have stolen my father's turkey gravy recipe. I don't know how you did it, cause it is written NO WHERE. I had to get up at the crack of dawn two years in a row just so I could watch him make it, and write down directions for myself(guess it is written down NOW). I LOVE his turkey gravy…but we also add some carrot shreds, celery and onions to make it more colorful(well the carrots and the celery make it more colorful…moreso than the onions)

Ree can you do a printable recipe for this?
Kathi B On Saturday, October 31 at 11:33 pm
I am starting to think about Thanksgiving and this recipe is exactly as I remember my mother making the best ever turkey gravy. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
Katie On Thursday, November 19 at 10:32 am
Here's the perfect turkey gravy! I've made it many times now and it's always turned out FANTASTIC! Low sodium broth is a must, especially if you brine, because your drippings will be quite salty on their own. Tastes just like Grandma's used to….she'd be proud! Thanks Pioneer Woman
Denise On Wednesday, November 25 at 6:33 pm
I was going to brine my turkey until I realized that I couldn't since it was of the frozen variety. However, I made this gravy for tomorrow and it is yummy!
Kate On Wednesday, November 25 at 8:01 pm
Just an FYI – if you find that you've oversalted the gravy, just drop a peeled potato, cut in half, right into the pan. Stir it around for a minute or two – the potato will absorb the excess salt! Problem solved!
Keith from Canada On Friday, December 18 at 11:44 pm
"Lumpless Gravy"….Skim as much clear fat off the top of your pan as possible,VERY DRY bread works great,…and FAST !!!Now grab a clean jam jar and drop in 4-5 ice cubes …a tablespoon of flour or two..(CORN STARCH MAKES IT LESS RUNNEY AND WORKS VERY FAST AND YOU CAN ALWAYS ADD A LITTLE MORE WATER TO GET THE DESIRED THICKNESS) Add cold water to jar,put the lid on and shake until smooth …notice…NO LUMPS…add to stock and stir over medium heat until just bubbling,thin with water,thicken by reducing. Now you do the taste thing with personal seasonings…omitting the salt factor for those who cannot have it. Experiment with turkey, pork, beef,chicken. Brown flour in skillet to get darker colour,only takes about 15 minutes.Don`t be tempted to turn up the heat…slow and easy gives best results. Happy Hollidays and if you want to clear the kitchen when someone asks "What can I do to help ?'…. point to the chores in the sink !

It's time for an other episode of Dumb Things From the '90s That We All Loved and Have Nothing to do With World of Warcraft! Sonic Sez!
Now on to the Q&A.
Bynes asked:
If I remember correctly, the devs said we'd come to a point while leveling our Pandaren in MoP where we choose our allegiance to either the Horde our Alliance. Does this mean we'll be able to mail things to these characters from our alts before they choose? Meaning, can both my Orc and Human send them mail before they choose a faction?
At BlizzCon 2011, I believe Blizzard stated pandaren will not have access to mail or mailboxes until they've chosen a faction. Your example assumes a brand new pandaren will belong to both factions before they've made their decision. The reality will be that your pandaren belongs to neither faction and probably will have the mail function disabled altogether.
Scuac asked:
Why does WoW Insider insist in calling Arcane Brilliance a "weekly" column
I love to read the archmage articles, and it is always sad to have my anticipation for a new column crushed by the realization that there will be none this week.
Because time, health, and general cosmic activity permitting, it is one. However, you need to be mindful of the fact that for the vast majority of our columnists, WoW Insider is a secondary, part-time gig. In some cases, it's Gig the Third. When life gets hecka busy, something's gotta give, and finding the time to write about video games is pretty low priority.
This is a professional gig, and I do expect our staffers to communicate their missed columns with me. That being said, if one of our columnists ends up in a (theoretical) situation where they're working overtime at their day job, their kids have the flu, and their basement flooded, I'm just going to say, "Dude(tte), it's cool, step away from the keyboard. Chill out and skip the World of Warcraft for a week."
These things happen.
Besides, you know as well as I do that Belt's columns are totally worth the wait.
EyeKyu asked:
Next month I`m going for 2 weeks in europe in vacation. Am I going to be able to log in and play wow from there on my laptop?
Yep! Your connection will likely be laggy because you'd still be connecting to servers based in the United States, but nothing will stop you from logging in.
arkhan asked:
Have you selected a new warlock columnist yet?
Yes. Hopefully you will see her very soon. I'm pretty excited.

Meet of
As the Associate Dean of Parsons School of Design, Tim Gunn established his career as an educator. While he originally taught Fine Arts in Washington D.C., his new adventure in New York City led to discovery, challenges, and plenty of memorable stories like the time Diane von Furstenberg told him to 'think about it,' referring to the way he dressed, which subsequently led to his discovery of great fashion (and a great leather jacket).
It wasn't until America fell in love with Tim Gunn on the hit TV show, 'Project Runway' that we'd learn about a man who has spent his career mentoring students of design.
When Tim joined Parsons in 2000, the department was "a dino," describes Tim. With the support of DVF and others at the school, Tim was able to change the mentality of its teachers and change the way the school taught. "It was about changing the culture," said Tim. "The best faculty members are the ones that pull these things out of you that you didn't know you even had inside. The best approach to helping students find themselves, ascend to a high level of conceptual thinking is to pummel them with questions, as opposed to telling them what to do." With that mentality and straight-forward teaching, Tim brought Parsons School of Design into the 21st Century.
It was during this time, that he transitioned from a faculty member to 'Project Runway.' "I remember my first challenge on PR was setting boundaries. I was in the sewing room threading a bobbin for one of the contestants. The producer pulled me aside and asked me what I was doing. I told her, 'I'm threading a bobbin,' and she quickly told me I didn't have to do that!" It was in that moment that Tim learned the importance of mentorship.
Now, after 12 seasons of 'Project Runway,' Tim is onto his next big adventure with his new show 'Under the Gunn' which focuses more on mentoring young talent. The show, which premieres January 16th, promises a behind-the-scenes look at what goes into creating a design collection from start to finish.
What's next for Tim after 'Under the Gunn' has yet to be seen, but with Tim's creativity and zest for life, the possibilities are endless.

If you'd like to see what happens when an arrogant, thin-skinned journalist is asked a legitimate question about a silly (but revealing) comment he once made, you can't do much better than viewing this clip of MSNBC's Chris Matthews.
C-SPAN's Steve Scully—one of the most objective and decent journalists in America today—asked Matthews if he still felt toward Barack Obama today the same "thrill" that went up his leg in 2008.
The response by Matthews is filled with bitterness and self-righteousness. "If you had done your reporting over at C-SPAN, you would have checked that I said the exact same thing in 2004 after I heard his address up here in Boston," according to Matthews. "I want to help you with your reporting," Matthews says later. And it gets worse from there, with Matthews—who for some inexplicable reason characterizes his work as "reporting"—constantly trying to put down Scully, including calling him a "jackass." Matthews is enraged because Scully asked Matthews a question Matthews faces from "every horse's ass right winger I bump into."
How dare one journalist read an accurate quote from another and ask if he still holds those same views.
The irony abounds. Chris Matthews hosts a show called "Hardball"—yet when asked about his previous statement, he whines and complains as if the question itself is illegitimate. And unlike Matthews, Scully is respectful to his guests and doesn't constantly interrupt them.
Of all the people I have met in the political class over the decades, those with the thinnest skins tend to be journalists. They are antagonistic toward politicians and revel in their effort to "afflict the comfortable." Yet when the tables are turned in even the most gentle of ways, many of them (though certainly not all of them) become petty, small-minded, and ad hominem in their response. It's no wonder the American public holds journalists in such low esteem.

When disasters strike, sometimes rescuers can't get into crumbled buildings.
That's when robots come in to play.
Now, international research at Disaster City near Texas A&M may eventually save lives worldwide.
In dark and dusty places, these American and Japanese researchers are at home. They're creating the next generation of search and rescue robots.
"We're seeing the mobility change to more biometric type, pneumatic types, where you've got snakes, you've got caterpillar robots," say Dr. Robin Murphy. She runs the Center for Robot-Assisted Search and Rescue at Texas A&M University. Murphy has seen first hand the devastation after natural disasters.
"It's just incredible. As a scientist, it breaks your heart because you can see the possibilities for the technology and to make a difference to those people whose lives and whose families are at their wits end," says Murphy.
This pile of rubble at Disaster City might not look like much, but to scientists and researchers it's exactly what they need to see how these robots will perform when real world catastrophes happen.
When buildings collapse like they did during a severe earthquake in New Zealand in February, it's critical for first responders to find survivors in the debris. The recovery effort can be dangerous.
"The disaster side is very dangerous. sometimes first responders have secondary injuries, so we try to contribute to improve the safety," says Doctor Satoshi Tadokoro, a researcher from the Japan Science and Technology Agency.
Besides staying safe, rescuers are too big to fit through small openings in the rubble.
"Just like snakes can burrow through all sorts of crowded spaces, this robot can go where other robots just can't," says Doctor Howie Choset. He and his team from Carnegie Melon University are working on one of the most unique robots around.
This snake-like device can be dropped down a hole just 2 inches wide.
These scientists will continue their research, looking for the next best tool to save lives.
There are several types of robots being tested at the Texas Engineering Extension Service "Disaster City" this week. Results from these experiments will be useful in developing the next generation of rescue robots.

[ 1 Mar. 27, 1973 Primary Examiner-Harry Wong, Jr. Attorney-Kinney, Alexander, Sell, Steldt & Delahunt [57] ABSTRACT Fluorinated cyanoacrylates having the formula:
wherein R is hydrogen, methyl or ethyl, R is fluorine, CF or (CF ),,H, and n is an integer from 1 to 3 have been found to be useful biological adhesives which when applied as monomers to aherends rapidly polymerize, e.g., in the presence of even small amounts of moisture, to form strong bonds. The monomers polymerize to films and can be used biologically as hemostatics and tissue adhesives.
11 Claims, No Drawings FLUOROCYANOACRYLATES This application is a continuation-in-part, divided from our copending application Ser. No. 687,111 filed Dec. 1, 1967, issued as U. S. Pat. No. 3,639,361 on Feb. 1, 1972.
This invention relates to the method of adhering tissues and effecting hemostasis by polymerizing fluorocyanoacrylates to form coatings and adhesives. More particularly, the invention relates to the process for hemostasis and biological adhesion by fluorine-containing cyanoacrylate monomers which polymerize rapidly upon contact with basic materials, e.g., moisture in the air, to form polymers which coat living mammalian tissues and of which two such coated surfaces are coherent and adhere.
Known non-fluorinated alkyl 2-cyanoacrylates, particularly the methyl, isobutyl and n-butyl 2-cyanoacrylates, have been investigated for use as biological adhesives, see, e.g. Medical World News, 8 (20), 41 (1967); Mfg. Chemist, 38 (8), 94 (1967); Technical Report 6618, Walter Reed Army Medical Center, December, 1966. While the unsubstituted alkyl monomers appear to possess the requisite bonding and hemostatic properties when applied to damaged mammalian tissues, these materials appear to fail to have the required properties of low toxicity and adequate resorption or absorption by the tissues. Methyl 2-cyanoacrylate, for example, gives rise to a severe inflammatory tissue response at the site of application. The n-butyl and isobutyl 2- cyanoacrylate monomers are not absorbed well (if at all) by the tissues and polymeric residue of the adhesive has been observed by histologic examination of the site of application as much as 12 months after surgery, see, e.g. Medical World News, 8 (29), 27 (1967).
Fluorinated cyanoacrylates have been suggested in US. Pat. No. 3,255,059 as possible components, i.e., binders, of polymeric rocket propellant compositions. No workable synthetic method is provided for the monomers. No suggestion of the advantages of fluorinated 2-cyanoacrylates for biological applications is made.
It was surprising and unexpected to find that the adhesives of the present invention are readily assimilated by the body with minimal toxic effects although the methods by which the body accomplishes this and intermediate and final products formed are at present unknown.
It is an object of this invention to provide a novel method for effecting biological adhesion and hemostasis. Desirably, the method is effective in the presence of blood and other body fluids and natural healing is not impaired. Other objects will become apparent hereinafter.
It has been found that fluorinated 2-cyanoacrylates are useful in adhesive compositions and are particularly useful as biological adhesives and hemostatic agents. Thus, the present invention provides new methods for the joining together, adhesive suturing of mammalian tissues, as well as for arresting the escape of blood therethrough. For example, satisfactory hemostasis of splenic and liver wounds, heretofore to a great extent unrepairable by conventional methods, is obtained by the application and polymerization of a thin film of fluorinated Z-cyanoacrylate monomer on the injured surface. The bonding strength, absorbability by the tissues, hemostatic capability and low degree of local inflammation resulting when these monomers are applied in vivo, are properties which make them especially valuable for biological applications.
The present invention also contemplates using fluorocyanoacrylates alone, or in conjunction with each other or in conjunction with unsubstituted alkyl 2- cyanoacrylates in the bonding of damaged mammalian tissue or in preventing the escape of blood or other fluids therethrough. Comonomer compositions are of interest for specific uses because they may provide advantageous combinations of properties not completely embodied in individual monomers.
The process of the present invention is possible as a result of the discovery that the replacement of hydrogen atoms in the alcoholic residue of 2- cyanoacrylate esters with fluorine atoms unexpectedly renders these monomers substantially better tolerated by living tissue than are the non-fluorinated hydrocarbon monomers, and provides compounds which are surprisingly more readily biodegraded or absorbed.
The monomeric 2-cyanoacrylate esters which are employed in the process of this invention are represented by the structural formula:
wherein R is a member of the group consisting of hydrogen, methyl or ethyl and R is a member of the group consisting of fluorine, (CF ),,H and CF and n is an integer from 1 to 3. These new fluorinated monomers when employed in the process of the invention as biological adhesives or hemostats, individually or as comonomers, exhibit excellent wound adhesion and hemostasis; they are well assimilated by the tissues at an acceptable rate, and their use, particularly in the cases of the monomers in which the radical is one of CH (CF H, CH,CF CF;,, CH (CF H and CH(CH )CF produces minimal local tissue inflammation in mammals. The Cl-l CF group-containing monomer, 2,2,2-trifluoroethyl cyanoacrylate, while exhibiting a relatively higher degree of inflammatory tissue response in subcutaneous tissues of mice, was completely biodegraded by the exposed surface of partially excised rat livers within 16 weeks after application of the monomer. The degree of local inflammation caused by the latter monomer, however, is still less than that caused by methyl 2- cyanoacrylate as determined by gross and microscopic examinations.
in most bonding applications employing monomers of the invention, polymerization is catalyzed by small amounts of moisture on the surface of the adherends, thus desired bonding of tissues or hemostasis proceeds well in the presence of blood and other body fluids. The bonds formed are of adequate flexibility and strength to withstand normal movement of tissue. In addition, bond strength is maintained as natural wound healing proceeds concurrently with polymer assimilation.
Compositions employed in the invention are sterilizable by conventional methods such as distillation under aseptic conditions.
The method of the invention for repairing injured tissues (for example, to control bleeding) comprises, in general, sponging to remove superficial body fluids and subsequent application to the exposed tissue of an adhesive composition containing a fluorocyanoacrylate monomer of the group which composition polymerizes to a thin film of polymer while in contact with the tissue surface. Tissues which are not bleeding or otherwise covered by body fluids need not be sponged first. For bonding separate surfaces of body tissues, the monomer is applied to at least one surface, and the surfaces are brought quickly together while the monomer polymerizes in contact with both of the surfaces.
The process of the invention is particularly useful for I dental applications such as controlling the bleeding following extractions, bleeding accompanying prophylaxis or restorations, and bleeding due to gingevectomy and other periodontal treatments.
The process of the invention employs adhesive formulations in which fluoroalkyl 2-cyanoacrylates are the major active constituent suitably combined in admixture with a polymerization inhibitor such as sulfur dioxide. One or more adjuvant substances, such as thickening agents, plasticizers, or the like, to improve the surgical utility of the monomer, can also be present.
Depending on the particular requirements of the user, these adhesive compositions can be applied by known means such as with a glass stirring rod, sterile brush or medicine dropper; however, in many situations a pressurized aerosol dispensing package is preferred in which the adhesive composition is in solution with a compatible anhydrous propellant. Aerosol application of the monomers is particularly advantageous for use in hemostasis.
The monomers are readily polymerized to additiontype polymers and copolymers, which are generally optically clear (as films) having the general formula:
ON 3, l (102 HLR where R and R are as defined above and x is a number from 5 to 500.
The preferred method for preparing high purity (95 percent or greater) fluoroalkyl Z-cyanoacrylates comprises catalyzing the condensation of formaldehyde with esters of cyanoacetic acid by means of a mixture of an acid and the acidic salt of an alkyl primary or secondary amine.
This method is described in detail in the parent US. Pat. Application Ser. No. 687,1 ll and corresponding foreign applications and patents, e.g., Netherlands Ser. No. 68/17168 and Great Britain Pat. No. 1,21 l,l72.
The following examples will illustrate preferred embodiments of the invention. It will be understood, however, that the examples are included merely for the purposes of illustration and not intended to limit the scope of the invention, unless otherwise specifically indicated. All parts are by weight unless otherwise specified, and the pressures are shown in millimeters of mercury.
EXAMPLE 1 Discs of polymer are made by injecting test monomer subcutaneously in female rats and allowing it to polymerize. The chunks of polymer are recovered approximately 24 hours later, washed, vacuum dried, weighed and then implanted subcutaneously in the dorsal neck tissue ofa second group of mice. Stainless steel wound clips are used to close the skin incisions. Animals are sacrificed at 2, 4, 8 and l6 weeks, and the material is recovered, washed, dried and reweighed then reimplanted. Local and systemic gross tissue reactions and adhesions are noted at necropsy. Absorption of the test material is determined on the basis of weight loss.
The compounds enumerated in Table l were evaluated using this general method.
TABLE 1 Compound I) l, l ,S-trihydroperfluoro-n- Absorption at 16 weeks 35% (average of three 2-cyanoacrylate lV) l,l-dihydroperfluoro-npropyl 2-cyanoacrylate V) l, l ,S-trihydroperfluoro-npropyl 2cyanoacrylate (2 weeks) 100% (2 weeks) EXAMPLE 2 Hemostasis in Vascular Organs (Excised Cat Spleen) A male cat was anesthetized intravenously with pentobarbital-sodium and prepared for aseptic surgery.-
Prior to surgery, 25 milligrams of heparin sodium USP were intravenously administered. The spleen was exteriorized through a ventral midline incision, and a disk-shaped portion of splenic tissue 1 to 2 centimeters in diameter and 3 to 5 millimeters deep was excised. Resulting profuse hemorrhage from the wound was controlled by occluding the blood supply to the spleen with soft clamps and gauze sponging. A thin layer of 2,2,2-trifluoroethyl 2-cyanoacrylate adhesive monomer was applied to the wound surface immediately thereafter by spraying with an aerosol at a distance of from 4 to 8 centimeters from the wound surface. After allowing sufficient time for polymerization of the monomer, the organ was replaced in the peritoneal cavity. The ventral midline incision was closed using conventional sutures.
The cat, except for depression during the first few post-operative days, made an uneventful recovery and remained healthy until sacrificed 6 weeks after surgery. Adhesions between the spleen and surrounding tissue, an expected sequela following surgery of this nature, and mild inflammation of the splenic capsule were the only gross tissue changes observed at necropsy. None of the adhesive was grossly visible and normal healing appeared to be in progress.
In a similar manner, other compounds as designated in Example 1 were used for hemostasis of excised female rat spleen as shown in Table 2.
TABLE 2 Method of Compound Application Hemostasis Tissue Irritation l liquid good none ll liquid excellent very little EXAMPLE3 Hemostasis in Vascular Organs (Excised Rat Liver) The liver of an anesthetized animal is exteriorized and the distal one-fourth to one-third of the left lateral lobe is excised. Hemorrhage is controlled by digital compression while a thin coating of test material is applied in either liquid or aerosol form. After allowing sufficient time for polymerization, the digital pressure is released. The liver is replaced in the peritoneal cavity and the muscle and skin wounds are closed with conventional sutures. Adhesive handling and hemostatic properties are recorded at the time of application. Absorption rates of the test materials are noted at necropsy 2, 4 and 8 weeks following liquid application and l, 2 and 4 or more weeks after spraying.
The compounds (as designated in Example 1) tabulated in Table 3 were evaluated using this general method.
TABLE 3 Form Compound Applied Hemostasis Estimated Absorption 111 aerosol good 1) 100% at 16 weeks 1V liquid 1) good 1) 100% at 4 weeks 2) poor 2) 100% at 2 weeks V liquid 1) fair l) 100% at 8 weeks 2) good 2) 100% at 2 weeks 11 & 111 liquid good slightly at 8 weeks Copolymer (50/50) EXAMPLE 4 Skin Incision Test Single midline skin incisions are made in the dorsal neck region of anesthetized rats. Blood is allowed to flow before sponging the wound with gauze. The test material is applied and spread as a thin coating along the wound edge. Immediately following adhesive application, the wound edges are apposed using digital pres sure and tissue forceps. After allowing sufficient time for polymerization, the forceps are released. Each animal is postoperatively observed for general condition and the wounds are scored at 24 hours using the following code:
OPEN-POOR (OP) wound edges open poorly aligned OPEN-FAIR (OF) wound partially open fair alignment CLOSED-FAIR (CF) wound closed fair alignment CLOSED-GOOD (CG) wound completely closedgood alignment Following 24 hours wound scoring, the representative closed-good animals and, in some cases, closed-fair animals are sacrificed and the center section of the wound, 3 cm. long by 2 cm. wide, is dissected free. One side of the wound is placed in a fixed clamp and the other side in a clamp attached to a suspended plastic container. Water is allowed to flow into the container at a constant rate until the wound separates. The weight of the container plus the added water determines wound tensile strength measured as grams to give separation. Compounds as designated in Example 1 were tested by this method with the results set forth in Table 4.
TABLE4 24 Hour Wound Average Wound Tensile Male Rhesus monkeys were anesthetized with a 2 percent solution of thiamylal (intravenous) and four canine teeth of each monkey were extracted. The hemorrhaging of the tooth socket was controlled by application of 1,1,1-trifluoroisopropyl Z-cyanoacrylate spray. The aerosol spray composition was 10.6 percent monomer (by weight) and the propellant was 30 'percent dichlorodifluoromethane, 25 percent trichloromonofluoromethane and 45 percent 1,2- dichlorotetrafluoroethane. After 5 days, all monkeys had recovered and were able to eat their normal diet.
Healing was complete, with all sockets filled in, 1
month after surgery.

text: The Late Lamented Molly Marx and I became reacquainted a couple of weeks ago when my husband was waiting in the author's living room. Howard was early enough (or Rob was late enough) that he managed to read three chapters before Rob arrived. "Where's your copy?" Howard asked me. The answer, of course, is "on the shelf," but for us that means the bookshelves of either our weekend home or our apartment. So Howard had to wait several days before he dug in, during which he complained that he didn't have the novel in hand. When I located it, he practically didn't put it down until he finished. Next he wanted to talk about it, which we did. A lot. When he suggested I include it in my book review section on GenerationBSquared, my first thought was, "oh, but I read Molly Marx a couple of years ago." My second was, "this is MY website and I can do whatever I want." And what I want is to tell everyone how good this book is. Genre: um, sort of murder mystery, but not really. And, yes, full of romance and women characters, but definitely not chick lit. Told with charm and wit–Sally Koslow molds language to suit her purpose with remarkable ease–Molly Marx is really about people, how complicated we are a lot of the time, how for us two or three or four seemingly disparate ways of looking at something can all be true at the same time. The characters here are complex to begin with and then change over time. (Even dead people can change, it seems.) A cheating husband may love his wife. A cheating woman may want and need her marriage more than the "other" man about whom she's crazy. Looked at from "the duration" (Sally's non-judgmental word for the "hereafter"), life isn't quite what we expect it to be. It means more, it means less. Shit happens. I won't give away much of the plot: Molly turns up dead, and the author alternates the chapters between Molly's eavesdropping from beyond and back story–some of it from before Molly's death, some of it from the here and now. We meet Molly's philandering husband, his set-your-teeth-on-edge rich-bitch mother (whom he calls every day, which, for those of use with sons, would be a dream). Her sister and parents are there to be loved and laughed with. Even the detective assigned to the case becomes more real and more brainy every time he appears. More admirable, too. Sally (we really are on a first name basis) actually gets the kid, Annabelle, right as well. It's hard to write a child character without being too precious or too stilted, and Sally pulls this off. Now for my rant: A book as good as this should get more attention. Sally is not vying with Philip Roth for a Nobel Prize, nor is she trying out Don DeLilo's post modern conventions. The Late, Lamented Molly Marx is a good read, an intelligent read, the kind of book that makes us think but does not necessarily make us struggle. The book has been translated into many languages. ("I can't imagine why Turkish women would find Jewish mourning customs interesting," Sally said to me.) It's not on the shelves of my local library–one needs to reserve it. Still, in this age when sages are bemoaning the fate of the novel, here we have something perfect in its own way that needs and deserves a larger audience. Read the book. Enjoy it. Get back to me about it. (Clicking on the cover picture will take you to the Barnes & Noble Website.)

Coats to keep warm given out after the Colorado floods
Weld County residents – including parents with toddlers and infants – lined up Oct. 9 in Milliken to receive free winter coats distributed by Catholic Charities and Coats for Colorado in the aftermath of the Colorado floods and disaster response efforts.
Larry Smith, president and CEO of Catholic Charities, Archdiocese of Denver, helped hand out all sizes of coats to those in need. Other Catholic Charities volunteers distributed diapers, water and cleaning supplies to the crowd.
Dependable Cleaners and Shirt Laundry began the state's largest coat drive in 1982. The company annually collects slightly used coats and distributes them at multiple sites with partner 7NEWS (KMGH-TV).
Among the recipients was Christina Hildreth who said her son was born the day before the flood hit on Sept. 13. She left with her arms loaded down with coats and diapers.
"I can't thank Catholic Charities enough," Hildreth said. "We lost everything."
Channel 7 anchors Anne Trujillo, Mike Landess and weatherman Mike Nelson also helped distribute the coats to the flood survivors. A video clip of the TV station's report is below.

Lujan Retains Speaker Role
By KRWG News
Santa Fe – A Democratic challenge to House Speaker Ben Lujan has fizzled as the Legislature returned to work.
Las Cruces Democrat Joseph Cervantes was not nominated for speaker as expected on Tuesday.
Lujan ran against House Republican Leader Tom Taylor. Democrats hold a 37-33 edge in the House.
In a speech to lawmakers, Republican Gov. Susana Martinez proposes to improve New Mexico's public schools by ending social promotion of students and providing financial incentives for the state's best teachers.
Martinez is to outline a package of educational reforms in her State of the State speech to a joint session of the Legislature,

Melbourne Red-Brick Beauty
Now that the weather's turning chilly in Toronto, my thoughts are turning to places where the mercury is rising instead. This week, they've landed in the suburbs of Melbourne, Australia, where this lovely, price-upon-request brick estate is up for sale. If you acted fast, you could probably close just in time to enjoy the summer there. Let's take a look inside.
Most signs point to this being a serious property. Known as Redcourt, it was built in 1888 by a glass and timber merchant. It still has grand, historic looks and a whopping seven bedrooms and eight baths. But that statue of kids playing leapfrog out front makes me think this house retains some spark and kid-friendly fun to it.
Indeed, the interiors might be best described as eclectic. (The listing names three separate designers, who seem to have ignored the idea that there should be some flow between rooms.) Still, most of the design actually works. This monochromatic living room could have been bland, but a wealth of textures makes it fascinating instead.
The dining room has a bit more of a traditional bent, with carved chairs and a gilded mirror, but I love the modern effect of the charcoal skirting board and over-dyed ruby rug. Given that the property includes a wine cellar, "meat and cheese room" and an organic vegetable garden, I'd bet that everything served here tastes amazing, too.
Australian celebrity chef Shannon Bennett supposedly designed the quiet, clean-lined kitchen; obviously, its Miele appliances do not date from 1888. The windows look out on the neighbouring coach house, which has been converted to a separate guest apartment. The property itself is in the sleepy-looking town of Armadale, so you might not have too many visitors, but then again, the city of Melbourne is just 30 minutes away.
One of the seven bedrooms looks like it still has its original moulding, though it's been decked out with illustrations from children's books. I might not recognize (or remember) all of the characters shown, but I still wouldn't mind sleeping here. Outside, there's a croquet lawn, tennis court and "secret walks" for kids to explore.
Would this Edwardian beauty draw you to the other side of the world?

School district officials often agonize over how to teach students with severe disabilities. They can pay for the students to attend private schools, where pupils receive more attention in an environment tailored to their needs. Or they can educate the students in public schools, encouraging interaction with peers who aren't disabled.
Faced with continued deep budget cuts, district officials are more often choosing the latter approach – which also happens to be the cheaper choice.
Their actions have drawn praise from some special education advocates who believe students with disabilities often learn best in a mainstream environment. Others say districts are making a mistake that will be tough to reverse.
"They put them in public school, and it's like a huge experiment," said local parent Zoeann Lee. "And then they watch them sink or swim."

Welcome to my little corner of the web! Honeypot Hollow is the name of our homeschool, tucked as our house is in a hollow near the Honeypot Creek on our Connecticut property. The web has served for years as the chief support in our homeschooling endeavor from the days we first considered pulling our oldest out of public school in 1995, and it has long seemed fitting that I should give something back to the medium that has sustained, encouraged, educated, and entertained me in the years since.
Come see my new blog. Most of what I am discussing so far has to do with theology and Christianity, but I'm sure homeschooling will come up now and then.

Quote jaxann: Can you imagine if Adrienne's plan completely backfired and not only does Sonny never forgive her and is hurt, but he actually ends up in legal trouble do to actions trying to FIX what she did?
Or if Will ends up facing prison and WilSon run away together and cannot be found. Now if course I don't ever want them off my screen. I'd expect we still see them living in another place together. Maybe they'd have Ari. They could start a business or travel or anything and we could see all their adventures. (And they would keep in touch with Justin and Sami. But not Adrienne.).
It could be a spin off show called WiLSON.
Yep. I know that wont happen. But it would be cool!
Sami's big mouth would tell where they are they could be in contact with Marlene since she can keep secrets but not Sami. I can see that happening.

Quote jaxann: I loved Sonny's conversation with Justin. Lots of love and respect there. Justin fussed at him as a father. But with love as the guiding force. Then Justin listened to his son. He loves Sonny enough to put Sonny first.
I loved how Sonny just stopped Justin and said," I love him! "
But I did not like that Sonny still lied and said he was the only one who knew about the video. I am glad Chad spoke up.
Im worried about Chad what you think is wrong with him. He started getting a headache when Abby wanted him to go see Dr he wouldn't I wonder why...
I think a spoiler said Chad has a brain tumor. . The actor is leaving the show. As a matter of fact, he has already left. They just tape ahead. We will have him into October, I think. But then I do not know if he will be re cast?? I'll miss Casey.
If Chad leaves, will Sonny get a new partner? Anyone think?
Oh...no...I thought they were planning to recast the character. I'll miss Casey Deidrick too.
Jaxann - Sonny's business partner - girl...don't even think it? Noooooo....we know that moron is gone already. If anyone know his last air date, I would love it mark it on my calendar. We'll celebrate.
Wouldn't it be awesome Will becomes Sonny's business partner, like Ricky suggested.
I'll be honest - I really don't care for the coffee house / night club combination. After a night of drinking/dancing, people get to nurse their hangovers with a cup of coffee in the morning? I don't mean to be rude or offend anyone. But, I don't get it!
I would have preferred a coffee house / book store or a cafe with pastries/sandwiches.
I think Casey's last air date is October 30.
I think Will would be a good choice for a business partner. It would establish an income for Will in case he tries to get custody of AG.
I agree that the coffee house/night club is a strange combination. They should just change it over to a pub or full-service restaurant and be done with it.
I agree a bar/coffee house doesn't seem to be in good taste one a coffee house serves people under age how are you going to monitor them from not going to the club 2 the music from the club will chase away the older people in the coffee house. And it will also disturb people who are there reading like students so IMO bad business idea it will chase business away...
I guess it is only coffee during day but around 7 turns into club. IDK. I mean if it is a liqueur licensed club, can under 21 be in even during day? I guess because restaurant have that so I guess it's okay.
I guess Sonny really does love the party scene. But Will said he was never into that. I would have rather it be more like a pub But with live entertainment. But I guess it doesn't matter really. I probably am not loving it only because I feel Sonny wont be home with his family in evenings and because barf-face is designing and decorating it. It will probably be ugly.
I love the nick-name you gave to Sonny's friend LOL
Ricky. So true about Sami's mouth
Are they on tomorrow?
Quote jaxann: Are they on tomorrow?
Not sure about Tuesday but I know they are on Wednesday. I always hope for one or both every day - you never know because I did not expect Will last Friday and he was on. So I record it every day hoping for WilSon.

Hi WilSon Blvd. Phew, that was a lot of pages to catch up on. I did like today's show. Chandler/Will was really in his element with those emotional scenes when his voice was on the verge of breaking. No one can play that the way he can IMO. Other thoughts...

Adrienne has gone beyond being just a spiteful b!tch to a pathetic, middle-aged helicopter mom with this whole "protecting my son" nonsense. Sonny is what, 22, not 8...he doesn't need or want your protection. She sounds like a complete moron when she repeats herself over and over again...kind of like Dannifer
Sonny was spot on when he said she got satisfaction out of turning the video in to hurt Sami. Loved how he laid down the law and then walked out after choosing Will. His hair looked so much better today too...my hot, young Sonny is back!
My husband-to-be Justin is still wrapping his head around all this, which is why he still had a bit of a "deer in the headlights" look today. He came down hard on both EJami and Sonny for lying...he doesn't tolerate it, not even from his son. I thought he was justified in using "the glare" as Sonny put it. The comment about stealing the limo was cute. I also loved how Sonny firmly jumped in with the "I love him" to Justin...aww, Sonny, we know you do sweetie!
I'm glad Chad broke up Sonny's "lie for everyone because I have immunity" story...that wouldn't have gotten very far with Justin anyway. Sonny has certainly done a 180 on the no lying pledge lately...I know he's trying to fall on the sword to mitigate his guilt because of what Adrienne did, but Sonny, honesty is always the best policy!
Too bad Chad is going the brain tumor route...really, he's a young guy and he gets a brain tumor from a bump on the head? Very believable writers...NOT!
Jax, love you sweetie but anytime I think Nick even looks remotely cute, I just remember that Valentine's Day episode with the heart pillow and him naked...it kills it all for me in a split second. The horror!
Kayhan, I also noticed the #15 was on WilSon's apt today instead of #14...weird and completely random.
Tigress, loved your commentary during the show as always! Thanks for asking about me
Str8, thanks for all the links, pics and tweets. You rock!
Hugs all!
Oh this post! Love it. Perfect. Perfect's the word!
Lol. Adrienne "middle- aged helicopter mom" OMG
Nick and that Pillow? I had banished it from memory and now it's back and I really hold my head in shame.
Justin. Well we might have to duel for his hand.
Yes. Sonny. Was do very beautiful today and that is not how I normally describe him. And the fibs. He's on a roll. But it's all for love and he's trying to set everything right!
Also Will do emotional and always (Chandler) so good at it. It's no wonder writers take advantage.
But did you notice in the midst of Sonny's raging to Adrienne his voice broke a moment and it seemed he could cry and then he went right back. (Freddie. You nailed it)
Did I say? This post was perfect.
Luv, sorry it was so much reading to catch up. I got carried away again and a lot was my fault.
LuvWilSon it's great to see your post and I'm sorry you've been so busy with work.

Viewers: in countries Watching now:
What makes a good magazine cover? Author Nigel French examines the design of magazine covers, dissecting the cover and explaining the purpose of the different components that make up the whole design. He then covers the design process from start to finish in Adobe InDesign, going on to show alternative workflows that exclusively use Photoshop and Illustrator. Each workflow shows you how to place and scale your image, position the masthead, add cover text, and package the end result as a print-ready PDF.
Once we've chosen our cover image, it's time to create the magazine cover document. I'm going to do this in Adobe InDesign. While a case can be made for using Photoshop, or Illustrator as your creative hub, it's my opinion that InDesign offers the most fully featured and flexible suite of tools for this purpose. That said, I will be demonstrating in later movies a Photoshop and an Illustrator-based workflow. I'm going to create a new document, single page document, Print will be my Intent, do not need Facing Pages.
My page size is going to be 8 inches by 11 inches which is a popular magazine size. I am in picas as my default unit of measurement currently. I don't need to change that. I can just type in the values in inches, so long as I'm explicit, 8in, 11in. I will have a single column, preferring to set up a Layout Grid using Create Guides in the next step. I want the margins to be uniform but a lot smaller than they currently are, just to define a safe area, an area in which I want to keep all of my content so that it doesn't get too close to the edge of the page.
And the value that I'm going to use here is 5 millimeters, or 0.2 of an inch. I do need a Bleed, and my Bleed is going to be 9 points, or 3 millimeters or 1/8th of an inch. I don't need a Slug, the Slug being an area outside of your page in which you can put any information that may be relevant to the project, such as creation date, modification date.
But I don't need that, so I'm going to just click OK to now open that document in InDesign. Here's the safe area guide, here's the bleed area, and the next thing I want to do in this setup step is create my Layout Grid. This is entirely optional. It's just how I like to work. And because I want to be able to turn that grid on and off with a single click, I will be creating it on a separate layer.
Create a new layer. I'm going to call it guides, just for no reason, then I like to use Magenta as the color. I'm going to change the color code of that layer and then come to the Layout menu, choose Create Guides. I would like to have 5 rows, 3 columns, and I prefer the guides to be fitted to the margins rather than to the page. So, that's my initial setup.
As I go along, I will be putting the different content on specifically-named layers. It's not absolutely necessary to do this, but I do find that it helps to be able to turn on and off the different content and to move one part of the content above or below something else. So I do find it does make for an easier workflow to use layers.

We believe that these non-GAAP financial measures are useful to investors in providing greater transparency to the information used by management in its operational decision making. We believe that calculating adjusted gross profit, adjusted operating income/(loss), adjusted net income/(loss), and adjusted earnings/(loss) per share also facilitates a comparison of ZixCorp's underlying operating performance with that of other companies in our industry, which may from time to time use similar non-GAAP financial measures to supplement their GAAP results. However, non-GAAP measures have limitations as analytical tools, and you should not consider these measures in isolation or as a substitute for GAAP gross profit, operating income/(loss), net income/(loss), and earnings/(loss) per share, or any other performance measure determined in accordance with GAAP. In the future, we expect to continue to incur expenses similar to certain of the non-GAAP adjustments described above and exclusion of these items in the presentation of our non-GAAP financial measures should not be construed as an inference that all of these costs are unusual, infrequent or non-recurring.
Investors and potential investors are encouraged to review the reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures contained within this press release with our GAAP gross profit, operating income and net income. For more information, see the consolidated statements of income and the "Reconciliation of GAAP to Non-GAAP Financial Measures" contained in this press release.

Understanding Nmap analysis techniques
How does the popular Nmap scanner identify holes in network security? In this article, we examine some Nmap analysis techniques.
Network scanning is nearly as old as the network. In former times, hackers used modems to test blocks of phone numbers and record responses in a process known as wardialing. Today, port scanners transmit specially crafted IP packets across the Internet to discover and identify live systems. Nmap (the Network Mapper [1]), which was first introduced by Fyodor in September 1997 [2], is probably one of the most comprehensive network scanning tools. Fyodor was unhappy with the features that tools such as Strobe [3] or Pscan [4] offered. He wanted a utility that would out-perform anything seen before – a feat that he certainly achieved with Nmap.
