The Destinations
Southeast Asia is a land where city streets hum with tireless motion, millennia of culture stir in the fissures of ruined monuments, and green waters spill out toward the far reaches of sight. The globe will never seem so big as it does on your first trip to Cambodia and Vietnam.
The Cambodian capital of Phnom Penh sets the stage with its churning pace and poignant symbols of a war-torn history. A different energy takes hold in Siem Reap, a rural outpost-turned-destination in the shadow of Angkor Wat, the largest religious monument in the world. And at Tonlé Sap—a huge freshwater lake—Cambodia's natural wonders are on full display.
Like Phnom Penh, Vietnam's Ho Chi Minh City (Saigon) and Hanoi blend the clamorous present with a hushed reverence for the past. In both, urban life whirls among the sky-high buildings, modest temples, and food carts enveloped in the aroma of steaming pho. East of Hanoi, crane your neck to admire towering limestone formations erupting from the waters of Ha Long Bay.
For a look at life from the other side of the planet, journey beyond familiarity's borders with this 11-day trip to Cambodia and Vietnam, courtesy of Friendly Planet Travel.
The Itinerary
days 1 and 2: Board an overnight flight from Los Angeles to Phnom Penh via China Airlines. You'll lose a calendar day crossing the International Date Line, but gain it back on your return trip.
day 3: Touch down in Phnom Penh in the morning. A guide will meet you at the airport and transfer you to the 4.5-star InterContinental Phnom Penh, your home for the evening.
An afternoon city tour begins atop the Wat Phnom. Proceed to the Silver Pagoda in the Royal Palace complex, where you'll find a green crystal Buddha and a solid-gold Buddha studded with 9,500 diamonds. Continue to the National Museum to admire Khmer art and sculpture. Time permitting, you'll pay a respectful visit to Tuol Sleng Museum of Genocidal Crimes, a former Khmer Rouge prison.
Back at the hotel, enjoy a delicious welcome dinner.
day 4: Wake for an early breakfast, then head to the airport for a flight to Siem Reap. Upon arrival, transfer to the 4.5-star Borei Angkor Resort & Spa, where you'll spend two nights.
After checking in at the hotel, set off for the Angkor Archeological Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. More than 1,000 crumbling stone temples are the survivors of this grand metropolis built by the Khmer civilization. At roughly 1,150 square miles and up to a million people, Angkor was the world's largest preindustrial city until it was abandoned mysteriously in the 15th century.
Begin exploring at the royal walled city of Angkor Thom. Atop each of the temple's 50 towers are the four giant faces of Khmer rulers depicted as Buddhist deities. You'll also visit the Baphuon, Elephant Terrace, Leper King Terrace, and Royal Palace area.
day 5: After breakfast, set out to explore the temples of the Small Circuit. The famous and enigmatic Ta Prohm temple is shrouded by jungle and left untouched among the twisted banyan trees. Visit Banteay Kdei, a Buddhist monastery, and Srah Srang, also called the "Pool of Ablutions," as well as the towers of Chau Say Tevoda and Thommanon.
This afternoon, depart by motorized rickshaw to see legendary Angkor Wat, built in the 12th century to honor the Hindu god Vishnu. The truly marvelous, enormous temple symbolizes the cosmic Mt. Meru, its symmetrical walls, moats, and intricate carvings representing the Hindu universe. Stop and watch the sunset over Angkor Wat before returning to your hotel for dinner.
day 6: Fuel up with breakfast before leaving for Lake Tonle Sap, Southeast Asia's largest freshwater lake spanning 1,000 square miles. You'll board a boat to visit the Chong Kneah floating village, where houses, farms, and even the hospital bob on the water. The afternoon is free for you to browse Siem Reap market.
Later, transfer to the airport for a flight to Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. Upon arrival, embark on a city tour with stops at the former Presidential Palace, Notre Dame Cathedral, Old Saigon Post Office, Dong Khoi Street (formerly Rue Catinat), the Continental Hotel, the Opera House, and City Hall. Later, check-in for two nights at the 4.5-star New World Saigon Hotel.
day 7: Besides breakfast, you'll have the whole day free to spend in Ho Chi Minh City.
day 8: Rise and shine with breakfast and a morning at leisure. In the early afternoon, return to the airport for a flight to Hai Phong. From there, you'll board a transfer through the Red River Delta to Halong Bay, where you'll spend one evening at the 3.5-star Halong Plaza Hotel.
day 9: The morning starts with breakfast followed by a five-hour, private junk boat cruise on Halong Bay. Savor a fresh seafood lunch as you cruise amongst the limestone islands. You'll return to Halong Harbor then transfer to Hanoi in the afternoon. Upon arrival, you will be escorted to the 4-star Hotel Nikko Hanoi for two nights.
day 10: Finish up breakfast in time for a half-day tour of Hanoi. Begin at Ho Chi Minh's Masoleum and private residence, built of wood and standing on stilts amid peaceful gardens. In the same complex lies the One Pillar Pagoda, an important symbol for the people of Hanoi. Continue on to Hoa Lo Prison (nicknamed the "Hanoi Hilton" by American soldiers). The last stop brings you to the Museum of Ethnology.
The afternoon is yours to spend as you please.
day 11: Enjoy one last breakfast before heading to the Hanoi airport for your return flight to Los Angeles.

Federal Transportation Follies
FHA's More Stringent Standards
The Federal Housing Administration will reportedly announce more stringent lending requirements and higher borrowing fees. The move comes in response to growing concerns that rising losses on mortgages it insures will require a taxpayer bailout. Although any credit tightening is welcome, the agency will not propose an increase in the minimum downpayment, currently 3.5 percent. (Borrowers with credit scores below 580 will be required to put down a minimum of 10 percent, but most FHA lenders already require a 620 minimum score.)

Federal Bias Toward Homeownership
The Wall Street Journal ran the story last week: "U.S. Now a Renters' Market." Apartment vacancies hit a 30-year high in the last quarter of 2009, and rents are falling in most markets. For current or former homeowners trying to stumble out of the debris left from the government-fueled housing bubble, a renter-friendly environment is a positive opportunity.
Medicaid's Cash Cab
As Congress hashes out an agreement behind closed doors to expand the government's role in health care, a Medicaid story out of New York serves as another reminder that government is part of the health care problem, not the solution. Audits released by the state's comptroller found $169 million in misspent funds, including a $196,000 cab bill for a woman who took a daily $300 taxi ride to visit her son in Albany for three years.

Breast Cancer and Pregnancy
|Study Type:
|Study Design:
|Time Perspective: Retrospective
|Official Title:
|A Translational Study of the Interactions Between Prior Pregnancy and the Biologic Subtype of Breast Cancer in Defining the Cancer: Host Immunologic Interaction
- Progression Free Survival [ Time Frame: Throughout study participation ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]Prospective cohort study.
Biospecimen Retention: Samples With DNA
Tissue, Blood and urine may be collected from subjects who were recently diagnosed. Subjects who were diagnosed after treatment begins or has ended will only be eligible for tissue donation section of study
|Estimated Enrollment:
|Study Start Date:
|July 2007
|Estimated Study Completion Date:
|July 2021
|Estimated Primary Completion Date:
|December 2020 (Final data collection date for primary outcome measure)
The investigators will be looking at the level of immune suppression in different types of breast cancer. The investigators will use blood, urine, and tissue samples from patients with Pregnancy Associated Breast Cancer (PABC) versus non-PABC, as well as comparing different types of breast cancer. If tissue sampling permits, the investigators may use some of the breast cancer tissue to develop models for human cancer for drug targeting. Understanding the immune response and suppression in different types of cancer will help us understand mechanisms involved in breast cancer better and help the investigators in developing new treatment in the future.
|Ages Eligible for Study:
|18 Years to 49 Years
|Genders Eligible for Study:

Glob paints are made from fruits, vegetables, and spices with natural ingredients and organic extracts. Enjoy fruity aromas while you paint! These water-soluble pigments become paint just by adding water. Each packet makes between 1-3 oz. of paint. Similar to watercolor or fingerpaint depending upon how much water is used. Color your creative projects: paint on paper, make homemade play-dough, and more! Mix what you need and save the rest of the dry pigments for the next time. All natural. Non-toxic. Conforms to safety standards ASTM D 4236, EN71 and the CPSIA. Recommended for ages 6 and up. Colors may stain. It's only natural. Easy clean up with soap and water. Vegan, gluten-free and made in California, USA. Colors Glob uses all natural and organic ingredients from a variety of different fruits, vegetables, flowers, and spices. Glob paints contains gum arabic (a natural watercolor binder), with all-natural botanical food colors that have been used in arts & crafts since historic times. Glob color pigments come from beets, purple carrots, turmeric, and red cabbage, as well as beta-carotene from either oranges, tomatoes, carrots, or marigolds. Another orange source is the annatto seed, a natural herb that has been used for centuries by indigenous tribes and can be traced as far back as the ancient Mayans. Annatto's deep orange color is used today in cosmetics and to color cheddar cheese! Other color sources include the sticky orange pulp of the gardenia fruit, and chlorophyll, which is extracted from alfalfa to make a grassy green. Glob's botanical colors and all natural ingredients are commonly used in foods today. Safety Glob paints and natural colors were developed first and foremost with safety and sustainability in mind. Using natural plant extracts and botanical pigments, their water-based paints are biodegradable and non-toxic. more about paints You may have noticed that arts and crafts products do not list ingredients. Consumers rely upon "non toxic" certification, believing that their art materials have undergone sufficient testing to ensure the products they use are safe. Don't let these labels fool you. Art pigments (colors) are commonly made from petrochemicals, and the actual hazards of these materials are not always known. In the US, synthetic pigments that have never been tested for toxicity can be labeled "non-toxic." The rationale? There is no data to prove otherwise. Arts and crafts paints often contain a host of toxic ingredients like formaldehyde (a carcinogen), one of the most common paint preservatives. New environmental regulations and consumer demand has contributed to the numerous low to no VOC (volatile organic compounds) and environmentally friendly house paints now available. Unfortunately, the artist market is far behind. Paints may not only be hazardous to the consumer, but also the environment. Certified "non-toxic" pigments can still be toxic to fish and other wildlife. Glob products are sustainable and biodegradable, making them safe to wash down the sink and into our water supply. Glob conforms to US safety standards and the comprehensive requirements of: Europe, Canada, Australia. Frequently Asked Questions Where are their paints made? Their paints are manufactured in the US, in California. Do their paints stain? They did a comparison between GLOB and "washable" paints and the results were about the same. Both left slight staining with certain colors, but washed out fairly well. GLOB paints are made from fruits and veggies, so you might expect the same type of subtle stain from spilled juice. They always recommend wearing painting clothes, so you can glob it on worry-free. How long do the paints last once mixed? Glob paints are best if used fresh. They recommend that you use only as much pigment powders as needed for one painting session. However, the paint should be able to keep for weeks or even months, but the color wet will become less vibrant over time. So again, fresh is best! Can you eat them? Their paints are not intended for consumption. While the ingredients are food and cosmetic-grade, the colors are concentrated and have a gum arabic base, which isn't very tasty. Can I use GLOB as face paint? Their paints are similar to watercolors, and do not cover the skin like a face paint. The colors, such as beets, will slightly stain the skin. How can I thicken the paint? To thicken Glob paint, add a little starch (corn, arrowroot powder) or a non-gluten flour. Regular wheat flour doesn't mix thoroughly. Will the colors fade? Like other arts and crafts-grade paints, GLOB colors can fade over time with exposure to direct UV light. While they chose the most lightfast, non-toxic, botanical pigments we could find, GLOB paints are not archival quality, and are not recommended for professional artists. GLOB paints are similar to a watercolor. The pigments are best used to color your globjets d'art, such as painting on paper, collage, wood stain, play dough, paper-mache and more... If you believe you or your child is the next Picasso or Jackson Pollock, you may want to try another, professional paint with questionable toxicity. Can I dye my clothes? No, GLOB pigments are water-soluble painting pigments, not clothing dyes. Dyes require a mordant to set the color to the fabric, many of which are toxic. Can I paint my walls with GLOB? GLOB performs like a transparent watercolor, not a wall paint with opaque coverage. About Glob Glob arts and crafts products are sourced from natural, recyclable, and biodegradable materials. Made in California, Glob specializes in botanically crafted paints made from fruits, vegetables, flowers and spices with natural ingredients and organic extracts. These water-soluble pigments become paint just by adding water. Similar to watercolors, Glob paints can also be used for a variety of arts and crafts activities. The vibrant pigments in Glob have been used by different cultures throughout the ages in food, artists' paints and body products. Go ahead, Glob it on! Community In the face of budget cuts, many schools have been forced to reduce or even eliminate art programs. At Glob, we are committed to bringing natural craft products to schools and teachers. Glob School Giveaway Glob's annual School Giveaway provides free paints to schools, making safe, green art supplies available for creative programs. Learn more... Safety Glob strives to raise awareness about the regulation of non-toxic art products. Most consumers rely on "non-toxic" certification, unaware that in the US, synthetic pigments that have never been tested for toxicity can still be labeled "non-toxic". Manufacturers are not required to list ingredients and "non-toxic" paints often contain numerous chemical additives, like the carcinogen formaldehyde, one of the most common paint preservatives. Eco-Consciusness Their natural paint blends minimize manufacturing processes to reduce environmental impact. The dry powder pigments save weight and energy when shipped. They strive to use minimal packaging and keep their ingredients and all the materials they use biodegradable. Glob uses recycled paper and vegetable and soy inks. They manufacture their paint packets at a facility certified by the Natural Products Association, Organic Certifiers, Contract Packaging Association and American Association for Quality. About the Founder Being an artist, I was exposed to all kinds of art paints and products. And though I had reactions to the chemical additives, I suffered through it, thinking it just came with the territory. But in recent years, with all the new information about chemicals in cosmetics and other products we eat with, drink out of, or our children play with, I began to wonder why arts and crafts were not being scrutinized in the same way. A few years ago, when my chemist friend dropped by with a house paint he was developing from cactus, I also wondered why there were low VOC and eco-friendly alternatives for house paints, but not natural, or sustainable products for the arts? And so the seed was planted and I began to search for natural art pigments—a fun endeavor, because I simply love color. I developed Glob Paints, using only natural, botanical sources for our colors, such as herbs, seeds, fruits, and vegetables. I found these pigments to be the most vibrant, as well as having been used safely and effectively for color since the beginning of time.

WHITESBORO Indian River delivered what coach Cory Marsell said was a phenomenal defensive effort on Friday night as the Warriors edged Whitesboro 14-7 in a Section 3 Class A National football game.
Indian River, which improved to 3-0, allowed the games first score, but blanked Whitesboro (0-3, 0-2) the rest of the way.
We just had an outstanding defensive effort, led by (linebacker) Daquan Brown, Marsell said. And Jonah Raydo had a huge sack for us.
With the Warriors leading by a touchdown, Whitesboro drove to the Indian River 5-yard line in the fourth quarter. But on a fourth-and-one, Raydo sacked quarterback Bodhi Forbes to end the threat.
Indian River was led offensively by Jakese Crocketts 103 rushing yards on 13 carries, including a 10-yard scoring run in the opening quarter after Whiteboros Mike DiVicarro opened the scoring with a 49-yard TD run.
Deondre Grier (8 rushes, 72 yards) scored the go-ahead touchdown for Indian River in the third quarter on a 3-yard run, while Connor Brown ran for 55 yards on six carries.
Quarterback Bailey Wilkinson rushed for a touchdown and threw for another as the Comets won a Class A National game at Oswego.
Wilkinson carried the ball nine times for 57 yards, including an 11-yard TD in the second quarter. He connected with Josh Yelvington for a 53-yard TD strike in the fourth quarter for Carthage (3-0, 3-0).
Yelvington also returned a punt 80 yards for a touchdown, and Rodrick Groce ran for a 15-yard TD for Carthage.
Gunner Serota led the Comets on the ground with 69 yards on three carries and Groce totaled 68 yards on 14 carries.
Zach Crisafulli carried the ball nine times for 62 yards to lead the Buccaneers (0-3, 0-3).
Dylan Beckstead accounted for four touchdown runs as the Spartans used a 20-point first quarter to gain their first win of the season in a Class B East game in Mexico.
Beckstead had a pair of 2-yard touchdown runs, one from 11 yards out and another from 5 yards for South Jefferson (1-2, 1-1). Adam Hutchinson connected on a 49-yard touchdown pass to Austin Robare for South Jeffs other touchdown.
Collin Haynes scored all three touchdowns for Mexico (0-3) with runs of 18 and 19 yards and an 85-yard kickoff return.
Will Coleman picked off a Hunter Yerdon pass on the second play of the game and scored from 35 yards out and the Sandstoners (3-0) rolled to a Northern Athletic Conference win in Potsdam.
Coleman finished five of eight passing for 100 yards in the game and threw three touchdown passes, two to Jacob Bryant and one to Max Warden.
Oden Robertson made just 12 carries for 113 yards but he scored in the first quarter on a 23-yard burst and scored again on a 14-yard run in the second quarter.
Hunter Yerdon figured in all three Canton scores and finished with 103 yards rushing and 73 yards passing.
Three times Ogdensburg Free Academy (3-0) stopped Tupper Lake from scoring on 2-point conversions and that proved to be the difference in a win in Ogdensburg.
The game was tied 20-20 after three quarters and OFA went ahead 27-20 after Jon Rogers caught a 24-yard pass from Joe Dalton and Jon Tayler made one of his three extra-point kicks.
Tupper Lake (1-2) answered with a 1-yard run by quarterback Morgan Stevens but could not capitalize on a 2-point conversion attempt.
Tayler finished with nine receptions for 115 yards to lead OFA.
Stevens completed 14 passes for 232 yards.

I do believe we have a Kernel compilation PET
I know there have been bunches of topics discussed here about this but here we go.
I am running an Athalon 900 on a Via chipset with RH7.3 kernel 2.4.18-5 as this was on a clean install it thinks my system is an i386 and does not include the via chipset modules loaded.
I grabbed this kernel and source using up2date so I know the files are there somewhere. Will someone please post a down and dirty kernel compile that will use the 18-5 kernel source and perhaps hint as to where to find the via chipset stuff?

Comments about Patagonia Capilene 4 Expedition Weight Crew (Men's):
I got this for my wife as a functional, yet stylish way to tackle the winter. She loves it. Warm and soft, yet very durable. The product runs small, but that's a plus for my wife who likes more form fitting jackets. Not something you would want to wear in the rain, but it's held up well enough so far to the elements of the PNW.

Video: Little Sabres Fan, Big Hockey Wish
BUFFALO, N.Y. - You'd be hard pressed to find a more energetic, more enthusiastic Sabres fan than three-year-old Ryder.
His favorite player is Nathan Gerbe. Ryder will tell you he's #42. He knows all of the Sabres and their jersey numbers. He announces the team in a voice that rivals any hockey announcer.
Ryder's passion for hockey started young. At age one, he was already moving across the floor, playing with his mini hockey sticks and, according to his dad, making noises as if he wanted to announce himself on the ice.
It was at that same age, Ryder's parents, Ted and Mindy Kopacz, had to make the difficult decision to have his lower, right leg amputated.
Ryder was born with a condition in which his leg stopped growing in utero.
If not for the surgery, Ryder would likely have been wheelchair bound.
Ryder has done an amazing job adapting with his prosthetic. He can walk and run, but he isn't really able to play his favorite sport or swim.
Insurance only covers the basic prosthetic leg, and specialized limbs for sports and other activities can run anywhere between $6,000 and $10,000. Because kids are constantly growing, a child may need two to three different limbs each year.
Ryder's parents are in the beginning stages of starting a group that would allow children with limb deficiencies to share prosthetics or re-use parts.
Ryder's mom put together a video to thank the Buffalo Sabres for using his image at the First Niagara Center but also to share his story and talk about his need for a special prosthetic to play the sport he loves.
If you or someone you know would like to help Ryder get the prosthetic he needs to fulfill his dream of skating or would like to help his parents in their goal of starting up the foundation to help other kids with limb deficiencies, send us an email by clicking here.
2 On Your Side will pass along your emails and contact information to Ryder's family.

POTSDAM - The Potsdam Chamber of Commerce wants the community to sound off on a new greeting for the village as it decides which of three community-designed Welcome to Potsdam signs will replace the aging versions that now stand alongside village roads.
The chamber asked for Potsdam residents to design concepts for the new signs, using less than four colors and including the words Welcome to Potsdam. It received about a dozen submissions, which the chamber whittled down to a final three.
We want to put something up that everyone is going to be comfortable with and proud of, Chamber Director Marylee E. Ballou said.
The chamber is now soliciting comments from the public. It will make a final decision in mid-August, and plans to build at least two of the five signs by the end of the year.
The existing signs, placed at the five main roads leading into the village, have stood for six years. They are starting to show heavy wear, and have been criticized by some for not conveying the spirit or personality of the community, according to Ms. Ballou. They were designed by a company hired by the chamber.
The old signs werent necessarily loved by all, Ms. Ballou said.
The chamber will not release the name of the Potsdam residents who designed the three finalists until the competition is over.
The winning designer will receive $100 in Chamber gift certificates.
Each of the five signs will cost just under $5,000. They will be built with brick or stone bases, rather than the simple wooden posts now used, in hopes that they will last longer than their predecessors.
Clarkson University, SUNY Potsdam, the town and the village of Potsdam have contributed most of the needed money.
The chamber is also trying to decide on a slogan to display on the winning sign. Options include Where culture and recreation thrive, or Home of the Raquette River, among four others.
The prospective designs can be viewed at the Chamber offices at 24 Market St.

text: Viaje Fifty Fifty Black Label No. 1 is a full bodied Grand Corona that was born from Viaje's special project to enjoy two different flavor profiles while smoking the same cigar. Because joining the two blends was such a challenge, the Viaje Fifty Fifty cigar takes three times the amount of time to roll than a normal cigar. The cigar's dark Nicaraguan wrapper is aided by two binders to hold the carefully selected fillers in place. This rich cigar starts out as a rich full bodied cigar and then transitions into a bolder, fuller bodied smoke.

Spinach Bisque Slow Cooker Recipe
20 comments:
- Janie said...
Spinach is my childhood 'I hate it!' food. At the grand old age of 37 I think it'd about time I got over that and this dish looks like the perfect way to do just that x
- October 18, 2010 at 1:07 AM
- 4*KowBoys said...
This looks so delicious! A whole 16oz. of Velveeta. My kids just might actually eat this! ha-ha!!
- October 18, 2010 at 4:11 AM
- Dorothy said...
I don't have any velveeta in the house...would you recommend substituting cheddar?
- October 18, 2010 at 5:18 AM
- Kathy Hester (geekypoet) said...
Wow, I must be tired. I though it said squash bisque and then I couldn't find it in the ingredients.
Too much crockpotting must be effecting my vision!
It looks super yummy. Especially with the spinach ; )

This looks delicious!!

- Amanda said...
This bisque looks delicious, but I am firmly against using Velveeta. Can you recommend another cheese blend that would melt or get the same creaminess? Thanks!
- October 18, 2010 at 7:44 AM
- Steph said...
what is it with men and not wanting to eat soup? Mine literally begs me not to make him eat soup... he always wants a slab of meat.. and trust me, I make delicious soups!
- October 18, 2010 at 8:23 AM
- Stephanie O'Dea said...
ack! It's geekypoet! How *are* you?!
Amanda and Dorothy, I don't have another cheese recommendation. It just won't be the same. I used to have really firm ideas against velveeta, but have relaxed my stance.
I really like the way it melts without leaving oily stuff on top.
If you'd like to go another route with spinach, I'd suggest doing a cream of spinach soup similar to the Cream of Asparagus.
good luck!

Fontina is a nice melty cheese. I would not suggest cheddar, it tends to get stringy and oily.
- October 18, 2010 at 9:27 AM
- Debby@Just Breathe said...
This sounds delicious and I can't wait to make it. I have really been enjoying my crock pot because of you!

Stephanie, this looks fantastic! I star my favorite recipes in Google Reader to try later, and looking back I see that every single post you've made since I started following you has been starred! I love it! Thanks so much for all of these great posts!

- Sara said...
I just found your blog and I am so excited to try many of these recipes this winter. We currently live overseas (Belgium) and there is no Velveeta. The closest product would be UHT cheese slices that look a bit like velveeta or kraft slices. Any suggestions?
- October 18, 2010 at 12:00 PM
- Penni Wisner said...
Hi Stephanie, what a lot of amazing material you have on here! Might suggest ricotta as a cheese substitute with maybe some Parmesan or Cheddar or Fontina (as AmyJ said) or Gruyere to add a bit of that rich cheese flavor but not enough so it's oily as Stephanie said can happen.

So happy to find your blog!! I can't wait to spend time surfing thru your recipes.

I saw this yesterday and since I love love love spinach, I had to make it. I used a can of cheese soup instead of the velveeta (since I had everything but), and it worked really well. Tasty tasty soup. My 16yo step-daughter said, "It would be really good if not for the spinach" which means I think she liked it, she just didn't want to admit it.
- October 19, 2010 at 5:13 AM
Awesome soup...made it last night. Everyone liked it. They said it reminded them of cream of broccoli soup. My future husband really enjoyed it.

I just have to say this soup R O C K S! I made it last night and just ate some leftovers for lunch, so delicious!! Thanks for sharing.
- October 22, 2010 at 12:04 PM
- PC said...
I made this soup for dinner tonight but when I got home and looked in the pot it looks as if my velveeta didnt 'break down'. It has little chunks (not full cubes) of velveeta floating in the soup. Did I do something wrong? I just bought all the ingredients yesterday so it cant be that anything went bad...Any suggestions?
- October 27, 2010 at 3:55 PM
- Stephanie O'Dea said...
Hi PC,
give it a good stir. It sounds like the cheese didn't melt fully.
- October 27, 2010 at 4:00 PM
- jenah said...
To all the ladies (gents) who have an aversion to or can't find Velveeta, I used two bricks of cream cheese in place of the Velveeta. SO GOOD!! I felt like I didn't quite perfect it though, it was really rich and thick. When we reheated the leftovers (what little leftovers there were) we did so with a good amount of milk and it was so delicious. I feel like you could use Neufchatel or less cream cheese or maybe add a little more milk to begin with... I will experiment the next time I make it!

Ransomville, NY - A Niagara County family is now reaching out after learning their child has been diagnosed with the two very serious conditions of autism and Type 1 diabetes.
Swinging in the backyard with his Dad is one of Jack Schroeder's favorite things to do after a day of school at Summit Education Resources. Mike and Nicole Schroeder make sure they spend plenty of time with their son who was diagnosed with autism at 18 months. But now there is another challenge with another diagnosis of the Type 1 diabetes. As Mike Schroeder puts it "The autism was a lot to deal with at first. Then suddenly...oh my....juvenile diabetes."
About two weeks ago, just before his ninth birthday, that extremely rare double diagnosis came down for Jack. Nicole Schroeder says "The doctor doesn't treat anybody else, any other child with autism and diabetes right now and there's no one at his school."
So the Schroeders, who also have a three month old baby, must carefully watch every thing Jack does and everything Jack eats because of the Type I diabetes. Mike says "Now everything has to be measured out, everything has to be recorded. We can't miss something because if you don't calculate right it can cause his blood sugar to spike or go down." Nicole adds "Jack can't talk, he can't communicate with us. So if his blood sugar was to go low or very high, he is not able to tell us that he's not feeling well. And it's...it's concerning."
Their hope for Jack is to find and buy a specially trained diabetic alert service dog which may be just as essential as the blood glucose meter and insulin injection pens they must use to treat him. Nicole says "Supposedly they're able to smell a low blood sugar which is very dangerous and then they can alert the parents that something is wrong."
And as they look to the future with Jack there is a certain realization. Mike Schroeder says "We thought right away..can we handle this? And I guess you're not sure how strong you can be until you have no other choice but to be strong."
First Niagara Bank is accepting donations at any of its branches for the Schroeder family to obtain a service dog for Jack. There is specifically a "Benefit Fund for Jack Schroeder". They also have
an on-line donation site at http://www.youcaring.com/medical-fundraiser/diabetic-alert-dog-for-jack-schroeder/78344.

By RICHARD SHAWSun Advocate community editor
Salt Lake County has a zoo, arts and parks tax. Utah County continues to consider trying to get voters to pass a parks, arts and recreation tax. In the Weber area, an organizing committee wants the county to implement a recreation, arts, museum and parks tax. And Summit County has been using recreation, arts and parks tax revenues for a few years to fund a number of programs in the area.
Frequently called ZAP, PAR, RAMP or RAP, the related taxes generate funding for the facilities and programs included in the acronyms. And the money usually comes to the programs by charging a higher rate of sales tax within the confines of the governing bodies' borders.
An informal discussion about endorsing a RAP tax during the last few years in Carbon County has turned into more of a probability in the last couple of months. Since Salt Lake County voters passed the ZAP tax in 1996, many public officials appear to like the idea and feel it could benefit Carbon's residents in terms of services offered.
"The fact is, that is how some counties fund their recreation programs," pointed out Steve Christensen of Carbon County Recreation at an intergovernmental meeting late last month.
A good example is Uintah County where a "zoological tax" was passed by voters in August 1996. The tax became effective in October 1996 and will run for a term of 10 years.
According to Carla White of the Uintah County Clerk's Office, the revenues collected as a result of the tax are pursuant to state law. The money shall be distributed by the county's legislative body, with 30 percent earmarked to support publicly owned recreational facilities and 70 percent allocated to local botanical, cultural and zoological organizations. The funding decisions are made by the Uintah County Commission.
The idea of similar taxes is appealing to many people. But if and when the details are worked out, a local tax would need careful structuring to be sure all governments in the area get a fair share.
"If such a plan is ever to approved by the county, it would have to be set up from the beginning as to how money would be allocated to various agencies and cities," stated Carbon Commissioner Bill Krompel.
Most of the related types of taxes come from an increase in sales tax in a specific area. Salt Lake added one-tenth of 1 percent to the county's sales tax. The action has garnered Salt Lake County more than $90 million since the tax was enacted seven years ago.
Estimates by officials in Carbon County is that the same type of addition to the sales tax here would generate in the neighborhood of $350,000 per year.
"The good thing about doing it through sales tax is that some of the funds generated would come from those spending in the county who don't live here," stated Krompel.
While tourists tend to spend a significant amount of money, Emery residents who shop in the Carbon area would be some of the biggest contributors to the fund.
The tax could not be levied by commissioners or city officials, but must be approved by local voters. Proponents of the idea are working to have the matter included on the November ballot..
A similar tax was recently voted down in Utah County. But cities like Orem in Utah County have considered putting a related tax of on the ballot.
In Carbon County a poll taken on the Sun Advocate's website in early May showed that 47 percent of the respondents supported a similar tax, while 44 percent opposed the concept. The rest, 9 percent, were undecided. The poll had no specifics about the tax and measured only a small sample of residents or 195 responders.
A good example of how the proposal might work is a tax that is currently in place in Summit County.
In November 2000, Summit voters approved a ballot initiative designed to fund recreational facilities as well as cultural organizations.
The main emphasis of the initiative was, according to those who wanted the measure passed, "to support organizations that enrich the overall quality of life for residents" throughout Summit County.
On July 1, 2001, the Summit started collecting an additional penny on every $10 spent within the county. The distribution of tax monies to grant applicants presently consists of 55 percent to cultural organizations and 45 percent to recreational facilities.
During 2002, Summit's RAP tax raised more than $700,000. All of the money was distributed among organizations and projects deemed qualified for funds by administrative staff, various advisory committees and the Summit County Commission. A total of $393,577 was awarded to cultural organizations, with $322,000 going to recreation.
Summit County has various parameters for use of the tax money.
All projects earmarked to receive revenue from the tax are expected to begin operation within 12 months of the award and to be completed within 18 months.
Funded programs must provide written records of all expenditures as well as a complete, detailed description of the use and its implementation.
The qualification process for obtaining the related revenues in Summit County is administered by a RAP tax recreation committee.
The tax money may be awarded for various reasons, including start-up money and land acquisition; new recreational facilities; capital improvements, service or enhancement of existing facilities; and equipment or maintenance of recreational facilities.
In Summit County, tax funding can only be awarded to state or local government agencies. Committee recommendations are forwarded to the county commission for study and/or approval. The county requires follow-up reports showing how the funds were used.
Should a local tax be approved by voters, Carbon County may follow a similar process for awarding the funds.
"The fact is that it could mean more money for programs in all the cities as well as the county," stated Krompel. "But the people are the ones who will decide whether it will happen or not."

The small/medium slides up into my throat and is really irritating. Roost coverage and protection is decent. It works pretty well with a neck brace (Alpinestars).

Given the popularity of the series, it makes sense that one of its stars was awarded a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.

This week, Banco Popular and JWT San Juan won a bronze Lion at the Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity for "My Bank, My Space," a response to Puerto Rico's eight-year recession that focused on promoting customers' small businesses. Banco Popular and JWT have been aiming to infuse hope into the Puerto Rican economy for the past few years. In 2011, the bank rewrote a popular song to help stimulate the economy by challenging a reliance on welfare (winning a Grand Prix at Cannes), while in 2012, another campaign transformed an Olympic hurdle event into a metaphor for overcoming life's obstacles.
Puerto Rico's economy is still struggling, and after its credit rating dropped to junk status, the bank took its efforts a step further. Focusing on actively generating fiscal development rather than simply inspiring it, the "My Bank, My Space" initiative gave 140 small-business customers the marketing platform and budget to fuel their enterprises. Banco Popular built a full-scale production studio to produce TV and radio spots, using its entire advertising and corporate media budget for the project, which included print ads and an online platform for these businesses to promote their products. The campaign garnered significant media attention, providing additional promotion for the small businesses and for the bank.
Banco Popular successfully combined corporate and human interest to help stimulate growth, not merely speaking to customers' monetary troubles but tackling them head-on with a pragmatic expediency.

Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix
Action/Adventure, Drama, SciFi/Fantasy
Harry returns for his fifth year of study at Hogwarts and discovers that much of the wizarding community has been denied the truth about the teenager's recent encounter with the evil Lord Voldemort. Fearing that Hogwarts' venerable Headmaster, Albus Dumbledore, is lying about Voldemort's return in order to undermine his power and take his job, the Minister for Magic, Cornelius Fudge, appoints a new Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher to keep watch over Dumbledore and the Hogwarts students. But Professor Dolores Umbridge's Ministry-approved course of defensive magic leaves the young wizards woefully unprepared to defend themselves against the dark forces threatening them and the entire wizarding community, so at the prompting of his friends Hermione and Ron, Harry takes matters into his own hands. Meeting secretly with a small group of students who name themselves "Dumbledore's Army," Harry teaches them how to defend themselves against the Dark Arts, preparing the courageous young wizards for the extraordinary battle that lies ahead.

AKWESASNE – Leaders of the St. Regis Mohawk Tribe said they will begin land claim negotiations with the state within 10 days and will pursue territory they say was granted to them in a proposed 2005 settlement.
The state agreed Tuesday to enter into the talks in exchange for the tribe resuming its paying the state 25 percent of its annual slot machine revenue, 25 percent of which goes to Franklin and St. Lawrence counties. They also agreed to pay half of $60 million they have held in escrow since 2010.
Chief Ron LaFrance, speaking at a press conference Wednesday at the Akwesasne Mohawk Casino, said they will also pursue free SUNY tuition to any tribe member, a $2 million annual payment from the New York Power Authority (NYPA) for the next 35 years and 9 megawatts of low-rate power per year from NYPA, which was included in the deal that died out in 2006 before it reached then-Governor George Patakis desk. If they strike a deal, it will end the tribes lawsuit to get the land back that has been tied up in court since 1982.
LaFrance said the Tribal Council feels an urgency in light of a rapidly-growing community to reclaim the land, which they say was sold to the state without congressional approval between 1816 and 1845. According to the chief, the tribe will seek the so-called Bombay Triangle, 3,000 acres in the town of Brasher, a small area in Rooseveltown, and a large chunk of Fort Covington starting at Pikes Creek and continuing east into the downtown area.
Mr. LaFrance said the low-cost power is important because it could spark industrial growth in Akwesasne.
To attract ... light or medium industry, you need a source of power, he added.
Its too early to tell how long the negotiations will take once they start, according to LaFrance.
When the talks begin, leaders from St. Lawrence and Franklin counties will be a part of land claim negotiations, according to tribal officials.
We need to get the counties involved, Chief Paul Thompson said. [Tuesdays] settlement brings them back to the table.
Tribal leaders would not comment on any action the state may be taking against the Ganienkeh Reservation in Altona. The St. Regis Mohawks stopped making their compact payments in 2010 because they said a casino on that territory violated their gaming exclusivity rights.
Thats a question youll have to ask the governor, Mr. LaFrance said. Were the St. Regis Mohawk Tribe – we deal with the tribe.
Governor Andrew Cuomos office did not return requests for comment.
Part of the new deal involves the state taking 10 percent of their share of the compact payment and dividing it between the other six counties in the exclusivity zone: Jefferson, Clinton, Lewis, Essex, Hamilton, and Warren counties. This means of the $30 million the state will receive as part of Tuesdays deal, the six counties will each get $375,000.
The state settled last week with the Oneida Nation but struck different terms than with the Mohawks. The Oneida settlement included resolution of land claim and tobacco tax issues in exchange for resuming slot machine revenue sharing. They have now have 25,000 acres held in trust to which they had sued for in court, the Associated Press reported.
Mr. LaFrance said part of the Oneida deal is they now charge tax on their tobacco products, which they keep.
We dont plan to address cigarette or tobacco tax at this time, Mr. LaFrance said.
If Mohawk leaders and the state can reach an agreement on the land issue, it would put to rest a case that Mr. Thompson said this week has been festering for over 200 years.
Mr. LaFrance said he has lived and breathed the land claim since he was young when his late father, Ron LaFrance Sr., was chief and fought to reclaim the tribes ancestral lands. He named several former tribal leaders who fought the same fight but have since died: Leonard Garrow, Sally Benedict, Julius Cook, Lincoln White and Mark Narcissian.

POTSDAM Listeners tuning in to 99 Hits on Friday morning looking for Conway Twitty, George Straight and Garth Brooks instead found Prince, Michael Jackson and Bon Jovi, as the station kicked off a new era, becoming B-99.3.
Station Manager John Winter said that the change was a decision made by the new ownership, Martz Communications Inc., Denver, and that its one hes excited about and is looking forward to being a part of.
Weve changed the format, Mr. Winter said. Now its Hits of the 80s Music Channel on 99.3.
One of the reasons for the change, he said, is the radio market.
There were five country music stations in this area and it really fragmented the market, Mr. Winter said. We wanted to come in and do something different, something that no one else was doing.
While there are radio stations in the area that play some music from the 1980s, there wasnt one that plays all 80s, all the time.
There has been a big resurgence in the interests, culture and music of the 80s, and we wanted to be a part of it, Mr. Winter said. Its something that nobody is doing.
The rejuvenated interest in the decade of Ronald Reagan, Mr. T. and Boy George is something that Mr. Winter said will be good not only for the stations listeners, but its advertisers.
We think this will be something the north country will really like, he said. We hope the listeners will like it, and we think this will be a benefit to the advertisers as well, because were doing something unique.
Mr. Winter noted that 99 Hits sister station, WPDM-1470 AM, also changed its format and is now CBS Sports, a station that will broadcast local and national sports talk as well as live events.
Well be doing a lot of local sports on 1470, Mr. Winter said.
He said the station has seven employees and no one was laid off during the transition.
Everyones coming with us, Mr. Winter said, noting that the move from country to 80s music isnt the only one the station will be making.
We are moving the studio to 5 Beal Street in downtown Potsdam, he said.
That building at one time housed the Courier-Observers Potsdam office and previously served as a bus station.
Martz Communications Inc. agreed in January to purchase WSNN-99 Hits and WPDM from longtime owners St. Lawrence Radio Inc. The sale was finalized earlier this week.
Both stations had identical programming in the past, a mix of country music with news and sports programs.
Timothy D. Martz, owner of Martz Communication, said in January that the purchase was a logical extension for his company.
We thought it was a good investment. Ive been in north country radio for 15 years, Mr. Martz said.
Mr. Martz also owns four Malone radio stations, along with two stations in Pittsburgh. He owned four stations that broadcast out of the former WMSA studios in Massena before selling them to Stephens Media Group in 2008.
