Program Goals
Faculty members strive to challenge students to develop visionary leadership, scholarly practice, and exemplary character and engage in the scholarship of discovery, integration, application, and teaching to prepare students who are:
- Identified as being competent, innovative, visionary leaders able to create educational environments within their organizations wholly conducive to educational programs that help connect students with schooling and their professional careers.
- Recognized as scholarly practitioners who integrate theoretical knowledge with practical decision making, who are grounded in relevant technologies and substantive professional content, trained in skills of inquiry, capable of independent and critical thought, and who are dedicated to improving their own professional practice, as well as that of other educators.
- Respected as individuals of high moral and ethical character who probe the deeper questions regarding the meaning of human existence and who dedicate themselves to a perpetual quest for truth as they face the contradictions inherent in the world.

I purchased my rustler 9 and a half years ago. For those of you that were with Traxxas at this time, you know what they came with. A awesome Mechanical Speed Controller/Stinger 20 Turn Motor/Un-Adjustable plastic tie rods. It was a great truck at the time of purchase. Since then Traxxas has progressed a lot. Rather than buy a new VXL rustler I just kept building on my good old 9.5 year old rustler. Up until 6 Months ago it still had the stock chassis, unfortunately I snapped it in half and had to install a spare that was just as old as my original. I know this truck isn't pretty or clean, but its my baby. Its been through **** and back. <br>
Very Few mods left to go, aluminum shock towers and bulk head. So far I have done aluminum arms/tie rods all around/caster blocks/bell crank/axle carriers, front and back/trans case with upgraded trans internals from new rustler, with locked diff/steel drive shafts/big bore suspension and a few little things. I figured I would throw this up on the forums because some older members might appreciate what has been done here. Thanks for looking all!
Starting of my new Body for Rusty , Hv more work to do but hear a little preview of it .
1 Rusty VXL + Slash 4x4 Platinum
Adding mine in. Just completed the conversion from Slash to Rustler
Ive pretty much made steel removable sand paddles
Also know as tire chains
My Rustler VXL converted to a SCT. Wow this thing is fast. Throws a mean rooster tail too. Still needs adjustment. Can hear the slipper clutch slipping at the end of the video. When i reached down to pick it up just as the video shut off the slipper was smoking and smelt like burnt clutch lol. Check out the build thread.

BUFFALO, NY--- The Tragically Hip is returning to Buffalo!
The Hip had to cancel their previous concert July 19th due to the severe weather that night.
The Tragically Hip will be joining Flogging Molly and Lowest of the Low at the Outer Harbor Friday, August 2. The show starts at 6:45pm.
Fans who purchased tickets to the previous 7/19 Tragically Hip show will receive a FREE ticket to this show. If you purchased tickets online or over the phone through Ticketmaster, you will automatically be issued a print at home ticket directly to the email account provided.
Beginning July 25th , if you purchased tickets at a Ticketmaster Outlet, you should bring either a receipt from that purchase or ticket stub from the 7/19 show to The Town Ballroom box office, the After Dark office at 630 Elmwood or to the box office tent the night of the concert to redeem it for your free ticket
Fans who purchased tickets from another ticket provider or reseller will need to contact that seller to receive their reissued tickets.
All tickets purchased for Flogging Molly/Lowest of the Low show will also be honored.
Concert promoter Artie Kwitchoff says, "We got hit with a pretty massive storm, so to be able to come back and rebound quickly and give people what we think is a pretty monumental show, we're thrilled."
Kwitchoff says they will decide later this week whether additional tickets will be sold to people who do not already have tickets for either the July 19 show or the August 2 show.

When it comes to CPUs and GPUs, faster is always better. But as with any mature market, at some point performance specs become a commodity and less relevant as a way to differentiate brands. Speed gets "good enough" and other factors have greater influence on brand perception and upgrade decisions.
I think we are seeing this pretty clearly already with desktop CPUs. Do you actually notice a CPU speed increase from 2.7 to 3.1 GHz? I don't. The same thing is starting to happen with discrete GPUs.
For companies like AMD, Intel and Nvidia this means finding differentiators beyond isolated speed benchmarks. This is motivation behind the "Beyond Benchmarks" posts on FireUser.

Yesterday we promised it, and today we deliver.
Black Friday deals have hit Pure Mobile and today's featured mobile accessory of the week is a special we're running on one of the best pair of headphones on the market – Incase's Reflex Headphones.
These flex-fit headphones are a pretty great deal, even when they're not on sale. Their sleek and compact design with contoured edges is comfortable and attractive, and more importantly, they provide really great sound, especially for the price range.
In a review, Cult of Android remarked "Incase's entire line of 'phones seems to have been designed with the goal of combining two basic traits — hot looks and great sound (for the money) — and the Reflex is swathed in both."
Incase has paid a lot of attention to the details here. The Reflex's headband has a flexible steel core, so it can manage a fair amount of abuse, but it's nicely padded in fabric for ultimate comfort. Likewise, you won't find any sharp corners, edges or unnecessary bulk on these headphones.
As for sound, Incase's aim with the Reflex Headphones has been to deliver the most natural sound possible:
"Our custom-tuned audio drivers deliver natural sound that accurately reproduces the source audio, no matter what you're listening to."
As Cult of Android remarked, that'll probably suit those whose "tastes run toward the more refined and less boomy. There's bass, but it's measured [...] Tracks pop with color and texture, and the set's definition made them sound surprisingly good even compared with reference sets in their league."
And thanks to the fact that Incase has designed the Reflex Headphones in a wide range of colors and styles – some have a bright pop of color on the inside, others are clad in denim – you won't feel like a sheep wearing them, even if everyone you know is smart enough to get a pair of their own.
Bravo, Incase. Bravo.

SOUTHLAKE, Tex. (KXAS) - Four members of a Southlake, Texas family died in the crash of small plane in Van Zandt County on Saturday.
The plane departed Saturday from a regional airport near Roanoke.
Leonard Ledet, his brother Greg and his sons Paul and Mason died in the crash.
Fraternity brothers of Leonard and Greg Ledet said the family was headed to a Mississippi and Texas A&M game.
Friends said the brothers had attended Texas A&M.
Paul Ledet, a junior at Southlake Carroll High School, worked part-time at Urban Air, a trampoline park in Southlake.
Caleb Hailey, a co-worker, said the teen was a pleasure to be around.
"He was working the front desk where all the customers could see him," he said. "We wanted him there because he brought joy to the park."
Co-workers came to the park throughout the day.
"It hurts; everybody hurts," Hailey said. "I can just speak for us at Urban Air -- it's very hard for us to get through this right now."
"The plane is completely destroyed," Van Zandt Justice of the Peace Ronnie Daniell said. "It's just torn to pieces, pretty much, over a wide debris area."
The cause of the crash is still under investigation.

So you think you're an analyst
Do you like puzzles, word games or murder mysteries? I have set out three tests that I think you will find of interest.
Our own survey helps you test your business skills and identifies for us analysts who will fit in well at Staffing Industry Analysts. To take the test click here.
Test two gives you a choice of numerical, verbal or inductive reasoning tests from AssessmentDay. Scroll down the page and take the free test. When you have finished don't forget to download the solution booklet.
Test three is visual literacy exercise developed by Lee A. Makela, Emeritus Associate Professor Of East Asian History At Cleveland State University. To review the test download it here.
If you want to read more about how analysts think I strongly recommend Richards J. Heuer's Psychology of Intelligence Analysis. As Jack David says in his introduction Heuer's message to analysts can be encapsulated by quoting two sentences from Chapter 4 of this book:
Analysts should be self-conscious about their reasoning processes. They should think about how they make judgments and reach conclusions, not just about the judgments and conclusions themselves.
Lisa Krizan also lays out an interesting portrait of an analyst in her work Intelligence Essentials for Everyone, which you can download here.
For other works see the excellent Bibliography maintained by J Ransom Clark of Muskingum College.

|'Hoppers come back late for 4-3 win on Sunday
|Written by Staff Reports
|Sunday, 08 May 2011 20:15
The Greensboro Grasshoppers scored a pair of late runs in the eighth inning for the come-from-behind win, 4-3, against the Hickory Crawdads, before 3,585 fans at NewBridge Bank Park on Sunday evening.Crawdads Matt Thompson struck out the side in the first, but Greensboro (16-13) still managed to take the lead with one run in the frame. Ryan Fisher was hit by a pitch and stole second base, before 1B Mark Canha worked a walk to join him on the bases with only one away. Christian Yelich then cracked the scoreless tie with an RBI single to score Fisher and make it 1-0.
Hickory (19-10) worked it back even, getting on the board against Robert Morey in the top of the fourth. Tomas Telis sparked the rally with a one-out single, before moving to second on a wild pitch. After Andrew Clark walked and RF Josh Richmond flied out to deep center field, Christian Villanueva ripped an RBI double to the left field corner, plating Telis and tying the game, 1-1.
Greensboro, though, moved right back in front in the bottom of the fourth. Jacob Realmuto kept the inning going with a two-out single and stole his way to second base. Noah Perio followed with a single of his own, bringing in Realmuto and putting the Grasshoppers up, 2-1.
The Crawdads again tied it with a run in the top of the seventh. With runners on the corners and two outs, RHP Alfredo Buret unleashed a wild pitch that enabled Jonathan Roof to charge in from third and tie the game at 2-2.
Hickory struck again in the top of the eighth, moving in front on the scoreboard for the first time in the game. A one-out single by Telis chased Buret from the mound and brought in Michael Ojala, who then allowed a single to Clark, putting runners at the corners. Josh Richmond promptly drove a sacrifice fly to center field, plating Telis for the 3-2 Hickory lead.
The Grasshoppers started the bottom of the eighth with a single against RHP Nick Tepesch, who had dealt two scoreless innings, and then retook the lead in the inning against losing pitcher Ryan Rodebaugh. Yelich tied it with an RBI double, before scoring the eventual game-winning run on an RBI single by RF Marcell Ozuna.
Sean Watson closed the 4-3 win for Greensboro with a scoreless bottom of the ninth, earning his ninth save of the season.

Monday, May 16, 2011As we approach the dog days of summer, three former Lipscomb baseball players are having outstanding seasons at the professional level.
In the coming days, Lipscombsports.com will highlight the three former Bisons (Rex Brothers, Josh Smith and Caleb Joseph) that are having breakout seasons for their respected minor league teams. The first of the three features is on Rex Brothers.
Rex Brothers, a first-round selection (34th overall) in the 2009 Major League draft, is inching closer to the Colorado Rockies 40-man roster each day.
Coming off a strong off-season where he was named one of the "Rising Stars" while playing in the Arizona Fall League, the 6-foot-1 left-hander was tabbed as the seventh overall prospect in the Rockies organization by Baseball America.
Brothers has lived up to the hype and much more in 2011.
Starting in February, Brothers displayed his electric stuff while making eight appearances for the Rockies big league club in spring training. The former Shelbyville High School standout, recorded a 2.25 ERA and 11 strikeouts in eight innings of relief in the Cactus League.
The former Bison pitcher has always received high praise from Rockies manager Jim Tracy during his run through the minors and as a result he stayed with the big league club through the entire spring this year.
"We want Rex around here and we want him to continue to face good hitters," Tracy told MLB.com towards the end of spring training. "Rest assured of the fact that, regardless of the direction we make, he's close and he's pushing for a spot.''
Following spring training the Rockies elected to start the former Lipscomb standout in Colorado Springs.
Through Sunday, he is 1-1 with a 2.79 ERA in 17 games for the Triple-A Colorado Springs SkySox. Brothers has been a strikeout machine out of the bullpen this year, fanning 35 batters in 19 and one-thirds innings. He has struck out two batters in 14 of his 17 set-up relief appearances and ranks first in the Pacific Coast League in strikeouts per nine innings (16.3 SO/9).
In a recent article by the Denver Post, the Rockies manager was asked about the season Brothers was having in Triple-A.
"We're well aware of how Rex is pitching in Colorado Springs, and we should be,''Tracy said. "I see where he is averaging close to two strikeouts an inning. I see it. He's continuing to gain valuable experience."
One Major League scout recently raved about his fastball velocity, which has been clocked consistently in 92-95 mph range and has been tabbed with closer type stuff at the big league level.
A native of Chapel Hill, Tenn., Rex has had an exciting journey since arriving on campus at Lipscomb in the fall of 2006. While at Lipscomb, Brothers was a three-time Atlantic Sun All-Conference selection and made an immediate impact to the Bison program on-and-off-the-field. As a sophomore, Brothers played an integral part in getting the Bisons to its first ever NCAA Tournament appearance in 2008.
Bisons fans recall many highlights of Rex's career but none bigger than leading the Bisons to a 10-7 win over eighth-ranked Georgia in the first round of the NCAA Athens Regional. Georgia went on to finish runner-up at the 2008 College World Series. The win over the Bulldogs also marked the first ever NCAA Tournament win in the history of the program.
Following his junior season at Lipscomb, Rex joined elite company, becoming just the second player in Lipscomb baseball history to be selected in the first round of the Major League Baseball Draft, joing Bison NAIA All-American, Bo McLaughlin, who was a first round pick in the 1975 draft.
In three years in the Minor Leagues, Brothers has a career 3.13 ERA and 133 strikeouts in 100 and two-thirds innings while playing for SkySox (Triple-A), Tulsa Drillers (Double-A), Modesto Nuts (High-A), Asheville Tourists (Low-A), Tri City Dust Devils (Short-season-A).
It's only a matter of time before Brothers receives the call from Rockies GM Daniel J. O'Dowd and manager Jim Tracy to come to the "Show" and you can bet that Rex will be ready.

Shell to increase capacity at petrochemical complex in Singapore
November 14, 2012 | Deepti Ramesh
Shell says it has taken a final investment decision to debottleneck its steam cracker at Bukom Island, Singapore. This is expected to increase the capacity of olefins and aromatics by more than 20%. Shell had first announced plans to debottleneck its Singapore cracker last year. Engineering work for the debottlenecking will take place during the next maintenance turn-around of the cracker, Shell says. The ethylene cracker opened in March 2010 and is a major component of the Shell Eastern Petrochemicals Complex (SEPC) project, Shell's largest-ever...

For sharing your concert experiences with the world.
So I went to the Judas Priest show Wednesday night, fucking epic as hell. I'm no concert veteran, but I went with my friend and his brother, who in this month alone have seen a different band each weekend. They said it was the loudest concert they'd ever been to. In fact, 22 hours after it ended my ears are still ringing.
The show opened up with Thin Lizzy. Even though Phil Lynott's been dead for over 20 years, they still are around somehow. I wasn't much looking forward to it, but they were actually pretty good with him. no
Next up was Black Label Society, Zakk Wylde's band. I didn't quite know what to expect as I haven't really listened to any of their stuff, but despite my hatred of the newer metal it was pretty awesome. Loud as fuck, especially the drums. The only complaint I had is that I couldn't understand a single word he sang and out of the whole time on stage I only caught "Judas Priest" and "God Bless". I also wasn't a fan of the 12 minute long solo, it got pretty boring after awhile, I'm not going to lie. Despite that, pretty good. I had some doubts whether Priest could match that.
Of course, they aren't the Metal Gods for nothing. With a staggering 21 song setlist, it was like nothing else. Not a single one was bad, even "Painkiller", notorious for being impossible live on vocals. At the age of 60, Rob Halford still has an impressive range, though nothing like his early days. The guitars were spot on, and I liked the variations on some of the older songs, especially the latest rendition of Diamonds and Rust. Favorite song of the night though had to be Breaking the Law, where my friend and I sang the chorus as "washing the dog" a la Beavis and Butthead.
Overall, it was a great concert. Very long too, 43 songs between 3 bands. Didn't get home til 2 because it was all an hour and a half away.

A report of a student with a gun brought a lockdown at Helper Junior High on Tuesday morning a little after 8 a.m.
The report came that a student was seen entering the building with a gun and immediately police from Helper, the Utah Highway Patrol and Price City converged on the building. Units also went to Sally Mauro Elementary for safety's sake.
Students at Helper Junior High were told to go to the gym and then they were locked down in that area while police and school officials searched lockers.
Reports say that another student confirmed that a student did have what looked like a rifle but that he was a high school student and had got on the bus to go to Carbon High School. The name of the student that supposedly was carrying the rifle was given to police and they contacted the young man's mother. His mother said that he had a wooden gun that was being used for a drama production at the high school.
The Carbon School District bus garage was contacted, but by that time the bus had arrived and the student was already in class. Police went to the high school and pulled him out of class to talk with him.
After the search and the findings the students at Helper Junior High were addressed by principal Tom Montoya where he told them what had happened.
Then the students were released to go back to class.

HELENA A Fort Covington man is dead after losing control of his motorcycle in the hamlet late Wednesday morning.
State police responded at about 11:45 a.m. to a call for the one-vehicle crash that left Ralph Deshane, 48, dead
The cause of the crash is still under investigation. Police, who found no signs of skid marks, said it appeared that Mr. Deshane drove off the road.
Helena Fire Department and Tri-Town Volunteer Rescue Squad responded to the scene, where Mr. Deshane was found in a ditch on Route 37C just northwest of the highways intersection with Depot Street.
Police said Mr. Deshane was ejected from the bike after going through a slight curve in the road, but St. Lawrence County Coroner June H. Wood said speed didnt seem to be a factor.
He had just completed his road test for his motorcycle license and was heading home, Ms. Wood said. No alcohol or drugs are believed to be a factor.
An autopsy was to be conducted at 5 p.m. Wednesday.
Ms. Wood said bystanders who witnessed the accident made attempts at CPR, but Mr. Deshane was unresponsive.

Photos: Celebrity sex scandals
John Travolta is being sued by a masseur who claims the star sexually assaulted him. Travolta denies the claim.
Paulina Gretzky continues to set the Internet aflame with her sexy posted photos.
The latest celebrity to be involved in a sex tape scandal is Hulk Hogan.
Ashton Kutcher was caught in a sex scandal in November 2011 after rumors of adultery began to swirl. He and then-wife Demi Moore called it quits.
AnnaLynne McCord accidentally sent a topless Twitpic to a fan on Jan. 9, 2012. She then recropped it and send a SFW version.
Wholesome 'High School Musical' star Vanessa Hudgens is probably wishing she'd held onto a batch of nude photos that first surfaced in Sept 2007. Another leak from the same batch surfaced in August 2009, and the actress was again hit by another leak (featuring the most graphic shots to date) in March 2011, one week before her movie Sucker Punch opened.
Olivia Munn's rep denied reports that her phone was hacked on March 4, 2012. TMZ reports several of the racy shots floating around the web, including Munn posing in a black bra, bikini and a v-neck, are legit and have been previously posted on her blog or Twitter, but the faceless full-frontals are a body double. Olivia Munn addressed the situation by tweeting, "If you ever hacked my phone, these are the pictures you'd find" and linking to some cute baby and cat photos."
Mad Men star Christina Hendricks' phone was hacked on March 3, 2012 -- though not all the photos that surfaced were legit. "The topless image is fake and not an image of Christina," Hendricks' rep told E! News, though he did admit that the rest of the photos, which feature the actress' face rather, are real.
Gossip Girl's Blake Lively has done a fantastic job of managing her public image, which was why it was so shocking when photos were released on the Internet on May 31, 2011, appearing to show a naked Lively posing in the mirror. However, Lively's reputation remains intact - although the naked lady in the photos are real, the woman is not Lively. Said the actress' rep in a statement: "The photos of Blake Lively which have just surfaced on various websites including Perez Hilton and Zap2it.com are 100 percent FAKE. Blake has never taken nude photos of herself." Still, there's
quite the resemblance
A cell phone photo of a very nude Chris Brown leaked on the web in March 2011. Brown explained the photo on KPWR's "Big Boy's Neighborhood" morning show, saying "It was an out the shower shot. It was like 'hey what's up?'" and added that the picture was "definitely sent to a girl."
Tori Spelling's boobs accidently ended up on the web in Nov 2011 when husband Dean McDermott Tweeted what, at first blush, appeared to be an innocent photo of the couple's son, Liam.
On Sept. 14, 2011, several nude photos that appear to be of Scarlett Johansson surfaced online. Read more
A sex tape reportedly featuring Usher and his ex-wife Tameka Foster was reportedly being shopped around in March 2011. TMZ reports the tape was stolen from the singer's car during a December 2009 break-in.
Paris Hilton's ex-BFF, Kim Kardashian, is another pseudo-celebrity who went from a nobody to a sexy somebody super fast when her sex tape was "mysteriously" leaked to the public.
We thought we had seen all (and we mean all) of Kendra Wilkinson after the former Girls Next Door reality star's sex tape was "leaked" to XXX company Vivid Entertainment -- but in Jan 2010, just months after the release of her first video, more footage surfaced featuring some girl-on-girl action.
Paris Hilton wasn't the first celebrity to be mortified by a leaked sex tape (Pamela Anderson beat her to it in 1998), but the under-three-minute clip that leaked online in 2003 featuring the then-19-year-old heiress and Rick Solomon frolicking in all their night vision glory was a pop culture game changer. Not only did nearly everyone with access to an Internet connection get a peek at the naughty clip (which was later released commercially under the surprisingly clever title 1 Night in Paris), it propelled a little-known heiress to worldwide stardom overnight. Suddenly, it was like the kinky floodgates opened and nude tapes and photos of famous folk (including Colin Farrell, Fred Durst, Vanessa Hudgens, Marcia Cross and Miley Cyrus) came pouring out of the woodwork. Also, Hilton's leak suspiciously coincided with the launch of her reality show, The Simple Life, and ushered in a new era of stars who became famous for no reason other than starring in a "leaked" sex tape (see: Kim Kardashian, Nicole Narain). Who needs to rely on talent when you've got homemade porn?
Rumours of a sex tape featuring Gossip Girl star Leighton Meester hit the web in June 2009. The tape allegedly contains footage of the actress doing some kinky stuff with her feet. She claims the tape doesn't exist.
In Dec 2010, hip hop star Nicki Minaj was rumoured to have a sex tape floating around.
Colin Farrell was none-too-happy when a tape featuring him and his ex-girlfriend, Playboy model Nicole Narain, surfaced in 2005. He went to court to stop distribution of the DVD.
In October 2006, Marcia Cross fought to recover nude photos of her that were accidentally thrown out in the trash and discovered by the owner of her garbage collection company.
Dustin Diamond (aka Screech from Saved by the Bell) freaked us out when a 40-minute video that features him getting it on with two women surfaced.
Limp Bizkit frontman Fred Durst claims the three-minute video of him having sex with an anonymous groupie that was leaked to the Net was stolen from his laptop.
A tape featuring Grey's Anatomy star Eric Dane (C) and his wife Rebecca Gayheart hanging around naked with former Miss Teen USA Kari Ann Peniche hit the web in August 2009. Said Dane's lawyer: "Although the participants are nude, the tape is not a 'sex tape.'
The Hills exes Lauren Conrad and Jason Wahler fought rumours of the existence of a sex tape. They claim the rumours were started by Hills villian Spencer Pratt.
You forgot about this one, didn't ya? In a short, 30-second clip leaked to the Internet, bad-girl rapper Eve is shown getting it on with a sex toy and her then-boyfriend, Stevie J.
Probably the most famous stolen celeb porn video of all time, a steamy and very dirty sex-capade was shot by the Pamela Anderson and Tommy Lee on their honeymoon in 1995. It wasn't long before it made it onto the Internet (and into millions of men's fantasies).
You'd think she would have learned. After breaking up with Tommy, Pam went on to make another explicit home video, this time with Poison singer Bret Michaels. The video was also leaked onto the Net but it didn't make as much of a splash, mainly because Michaels failed to, ahem, measure up to Lee.

CrockPot Chicken and Dumplings Soup Recipe
Day 343.
Chicken and dumplings! Finally! I don't know why it took me so long to make this----it was terribly easy, and very tasty. Thank you so much for all of the recipes that were sent in. This is a compilation of recipes from Tamara, Kimberley, Danette, and Renee. Thank you!
The Ingredients.
--3 pounds boneless, skinless chicken (I used frozen thighs)
--1 yellow onion, chopped
--1 cup mushrooms, chopped (I used baby portabellas)
--16 ounces frozen vegetables
--2 cans cream-of-something soup, or combine in a saucepan:
4 T butter
6 T flour (I used Pamela's baking mix)
1 cup milk (I used soy)
1 cup chicken broth
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp black pepper
1 tsp poultry seasoning
--1 can refrigerated biscuits, or one batch drop biscuits (I used Pamela's Baking Mix, and used the drop-biscuit recipe listed on the back of the bag)
The Directions.
I used a 6.5 quart crockpot. Anything 4 quarts and up will work. Put the chicken and vegetables into the bottom of the crockpot. Add the cream-of soups, or your homemade substitute. Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours, or on high for 4-5. I cooked ours on high for 4 hours, and on low for another two. An hour before serving, shred chicken with two large forks, and drop in the biscuit dough.
Cover and cook on high for another hour. The bisquits are done when you can insert a knife and it comes out clean. They will be spongey and will brown a bit on the sides and top.
Serve in bowls, with a biscuit or two per person.
The Verdict.
Delicious. I've never had chicken and dumplings before, and really enjoyed this a lot. Adam and I each had two bowls. Dinner wasn't ready until almost 7, so the kids ended up eating leftovers. My four-year-old thought it looked weird, so fingers are crossed she's feeling adventurous for lunch.

mmmmm chicken and dumplings. I was going to make meat loaf for supper but have read three different chicken and dumpling recipe posts this morning so I am going to make those instead. I can honestly say that is the first time I've heard it called soup.

maybe it isn't classified as soup? It seemed soupish to me.

We love chicken and dumplings, but rarely make them because they take so long to prepare. THis way we can have them more often. I think I just figured out what's for dinner tonight! Thanks again!!

a variation of this is a staple in our house. i love being able to come home, throw the biscuits in and have dinner ready by the time i get a load of laundry done.

Why have I never thought to make those in the crockpot? Chicken and Dumplings are a favorite at our house, I've made them by scratch, can biscuits and even cut up flour tortillas. Thanks for the crockpot inspiration.

- Mimi said...
I think in the South, generally, they are made thicker than your recipe. Most restaurants around here actually serve them on plates. Or at least the ones I've ordered them from. I'm not one to care what it's called as long as it tastes good. :-D
- December 8, 2008 at 8:23 AM
My boyfriend makes a wonderful chicken and dumplings on the stove and he does not use any "cream of" soup or dairy. He just uses chicken broth and the starch boiling out of the biscuits makes the broth thick and "creamy". As good as that is, I can't wait to try this with the homemade "cream of" soup for the extra flavor. I would much rather make something in the crockpot than on the stove if possible!

I love chicken & dumplings. I've been looking for a recipe (that I like) for a couple months now. I think this is it!
- December 8, 2008 at 8:32 AM
We're from the south too, and in our house it's more like dumplings & chicken...I usually just pinch off the biscuit in half dollar size chucks, that'a way the kids get more of the other stuff with every bite of dumplin'. :)
When I make it it's always more of a really thick stew and not soup...I have had it that way and it tastes great but I prefer the thick sauce...
If your a real food lover like me I plop all that yummy goodness on top of MORE biscuits from the oven and it's carbohydrate HEAVEN!

Yumm. I love chicken & dumplings, but most recipes call for bone-in chicken, which is a big pain if you ask me. Who wants to deal w/ chicken bones when you've got delicious dumplings to eat?
- December 8, 2008 at 9:41 AM
- trucksr4gurls said...
i use bone in thighs and just pick out the bones when i break the meat up.

sweet! I am going to go make this right now so that we can have it for dinner.
I'm starting to have early withdrawals for next year. It's become a big part of my daily routine to come to this site to see what you have cooked up (no pun intended...well, maybe a little lol).
Thanks for another great recipe!

oh my goodness, you're an angel, I have missed this dish for the last 3 years. I will be trying this the next grocery trip!!! I use Pamela's and never thought about doing the dumplings that way

you really do well with the crockpot and your recipes are amazing.
Thank you!

This sounds yummy.
What GF cream of soup do you use? I usually use Progresso cream of mushroom, just wondering if there's another good one out there.

Hi Susan, I don't use one. I make up a batch of homemade or use a substitute like this.

- Kacie said...
I have a question - I simmered apple cider in my crock pot with spices. It was delicious, but I forgot to turn it off when we were done, and in the morning my crock pot was a blackened mess. I've cleaned off most of it, but there is still an inch-wide blackened ring around the center of the pot that has resisted soaking in soapy water, and also a watered down vinegar soak. Do you have any suggestions? Thanks!
- December 8, 2008 at 1:17 PM
- Daisy said...
Chicken dumpling soup is one of my standards. I see you make the dumplings the same way I do! The tastiest dumplings come from baking mix (I use bisquick) with a little butter and garlic added.
- December 8, 2008 at 2:07 PM
- Crockpot Lady said...
Hi Kacie,
can you run it through the dishwasher? If not, soak over night with a fabric softener sheet, then rinse really well. If you still have some discoloration, go ahead and use it to make something with tomatoes. The acid in the tomatoes should get rid of any further residue.
- December 8, 2008 at 2:25 PM
- Madhouse Wife said...
Quick question (I want to make this!): there's no milk or water in the recipe, but I can't imagine there not being any, and then I saw milk in the picture. Do you just use the soups? How does it get "runnier" (for lack of a better word)?
- December 8, 2008 at 3:08 PM
- Madhouse Wife said...
Quick question: do you use any liquid to thin the soup a little? I saw milk in the photo but not in the recipe. I want to try this! Thanks! Love the website!
- December 8, 2008 at 3:12 PM
- Crockpot Lady said...
Hi Madhouse Wife, I used my own cream-of substitute, but the original recipes called for the cream-of soups without any additional liquid. The chicken and vegetables will release liquid to add to the broth.
- December 8, 2008 at 3:19 PM
- Momma Mango said...
I haven't had dumplings since I was a kid, but my mom just gave me a recipe for homemade ones a couple of weeks ago. I haven't tried them because I wasn't sure how / what I wanted to make with them (for the soup part). Your description sounds so delicious and easy! I'm going to try it! Thank you! :)

So what was the verdict from the kids when they did try it? (Sorry, I have two little ones, picky as can be and I like trying recipes that appeal to other kids). I also wanted to thank you for posting about make ahead mashed potatoes. I used your suggestions this year and everythign worked out wonderfully! It was great having perfectly warmed mashed potatoes, ready to go on the table without the fuss of making it the day of.
This was the first year I did so much make ahead stuff for thanksgiving - everything was wonderful and I was so much more relaxed that day!

Hi Sadif, I'm so glad that your Thanksgiving was easier, that's great to hear.
My kids weren't impressed. They picked a bit at it, but thought it was weird to have bread in their food.

So, I made this yesterday, and it came out AWESOME! I only had 1 can of cream of something, so I made the other from a bechamel/velouté and poultry seasoning, like you mentioned.
There was so much flavor in this, it blew my socks off! I honestly didn't think there would be THIS much flavor, as there wasn't really any spices added (except for in the soup) . The only thing I did differently was put some of these tater-tot rounds in it, because no one was eating them and I didn't want them to go to waste. You couldn't even tell that they were there because they broke down. It was thick and exactly what I wanted. I also didn't have buttermilk for the drop biscuits, so I had to use a substitution--1/2c milk 1/2TB vinegar sitting for 10 mins--which worked/tasted great! I was really surprised with that also.
Our apartment smelled like KFC, no joke! It didn't taste like it though (way better but we fans of that place to begin with) but my hubby joked that we cracked their secret ingredient (tater tots)! It could have been the biscuits though... *shrugs*
Anyway, I'm adding this to my "crowd pleaser" recipes, and will make this when I want to impress someone--well Gerry (my father-in-law's best friend who lives close by), but he is easy to please--but he talks about it for weeks! lol.
Thanks again for another great one!
- December 9, 2008 at 9:34 AM
Sooo I made this tonight. And then I double checked your instructions... see, my biscuits didn't cook so great. In fact, after 2 1/2 hrs., we finally ate french toast, I took the lid to the crock off, and turned the oven on (to scrape the biscuits off and bake them). Before the oven was done preheating, however, I realized the biscuits were starting to cook. So I finished them up with the lid off.
Sooo long story short, haven't eaten any yet; will put in fridge and heat for dinner tomorrow. Next time I will probably just bake the biscuits separate in the oven. Everything smells really great, though, and it was SUPER easy!

I'm making this now, and wonder if you put in frozen chicken that was STILL frozen? I defrosted thighs and it seems like it can't possibly take the last 2 hours. I also used bone-in thighs. I know some people like boneless & skinless, but IMHO the taste is so much better if you keep the bone in.
- December 10, 2008 at 4:41 PM
- Crockpot Lady said...
Hi Iris, yup, my thighs were frozen solid. If your soup is done, plop on the biscuits! You're the boss.

I love Chicken and Dumplings, but never thought about making it a crockpot! Thanks for the inspiration! I am planning on making it while my inlaws are here for the holidays. Could you tell me about how many serving it makes?
Another serving suggestion - on top of mashed potatoes! Yummy goodness!
I love your website and I am sad to discover it at the end of the year. Thanks for the ideas!

- Amanda on Maui said...
Do you think I can use Bob's Red Mill All Purpose Gluten-Free flour instead of the Pamela's? The Pamela's I've found here contains buttermilk, and I can't have dairy.
Growing up my dad made the best chicken and dumplings. We always had the big floating Bisquick biscuits on top. And, we thicken it with instant mashed potatoes. We also just use frozen mixed veggies. Hehe.
- December 11, 2008 at 12:31 PM
- Crockpot Lady said...
Hi Amanda,
yup. Just follow the directions on making drop-biscuits listed on the bag, or on the website.
- December 11, 2008 at 12:37 PM

Well, I didn't use still-frozen thighs, and cooked it the entire time and it was STILL amazing (laugh). Thank you so much. And.. happy holidays.

The last time I made chicken & dumplings I wondered if it could be done in the Crockpot. I wasn't sure about the dumplings. With the cold weather (it's currently 28 degrees here)this will be great. Thank you!
- December 13, 2008 at 11:03 AM
- Erin P. said...
this is so good. I don't like it when the chicken and dumplings is brothy. It needs creaminess and this is perfect. Plus it is so messy on the stove. As an aside, my favorite favorite tool to shred stuff now is the Mix and Chop by Pampered Chef. I don't sell the stuff or own much of it but that little baby has helped me so much with ground beef, chicken, pork whatever. By all means buy a knock off if you see one b/c $9.50 is ridiculous for a black piece of plastic but it really is awesome. http://www.pamperedchef.com/our_products/catalog/product.jsp?productId=15658&categoryCode=CW

I made this tonight it was great! I started throwing it all together before I read the comments I added 1 can of milk to the 2 cans of soup. (Before I read the comments) It did turn out super liquidy but I ladled it out boiled it down and added corn starch and four to make it in to gravy. Its what I made the biscuits with and it was YUMMY! I have just recently stumbled on to your blog and it's great. This is the first thing I have made so far and I will be back!

im very excited to try this. thank you!
- December 22, 2008 at 1:36 AM
- Cali Girl said...
if i prefer it to be more thick than liquidy, should i just add one cream-of rather than two?
also, you have milk listed as an ingredient but i dont see it in the instructions when making it.. just curious about that?
thank you in advance!
- December 22, 2008 at 9:34 PM
- Crockpot Lady said...
Cali Girl,
go ahead and use the 2 cans, and don't worry about the milk. That's only if you are making the substitute.
I've italicized the ingredients now so they should make more sense. When I went back to read, I didn't even know what I was talking about!
- December 23, 2008 at 8:04 AM
- Cali Girl said...
i made it today, it was great! thank you! merry Christmas!
- December 25, 2008 at 3:17 PM
chicken and dumplings is a staple around here. When it's really cold and icky I add a bit of whipping cream before putting the biscuits on to cook. Not exactly healthy but really, really good.
- January 30, 2009 at 4:40 PM
- elibap said...
Thank you for this recipe. I just discovered your site and wanted to make a chicken recipe that was different than the norm. This was perfect, especially with the idea of the homemade cream soup. I liked that you suggested soy milk because I keep kosher and can't use regular milk with meat/chicken.
I ended up not doing the dumpling part and putting in matza balls instead. Over a bed of rice this was a delicious and nutritious meal, and different from the norm!
- February 4, 2009 at 3:54 PM
I make Chicken and Dumplings using a Rotissary Chick already cooked from the store. But, have never made in a Crockpot. Will def. try this one !. But, never put veggies in Chick. & Dumplins..here that would be called Chicken Pot Pie. Thanks for recipe !

I made this last night and we are eating left-overs tonight. This is very good. It is very filling too. I will definately make this again. This was my first time making dumplings...how simple.
Thanks for the site. I found it a week or so ago. I love it.
- March 18, 2009 at 2:54 PM
I made this last night with my homemade chicken broth and it was GREAT! Better than the usual that I make. The only thing I would say is it barely fed my family of five, so double, triple it up!!!
- May 30, 2009 at 3:58 PM
- Sarah said...
I made this last night and it came out great! All it needed was a tiny bit of salt and some pepper for a little extra flavor. I even pulled up a simple drop biscuit recipe and was able to make them from scratch! It was so ridiculously easy to prepare and the house smelled incredible while it was cooking. We had enough for two bowls each between my husband and I, with probably about 1.5 bowls left over. Another successful crock pot endeavor!

I just discovered your blog a few weeks ago and it has just changed my life. I am busy running a bed and breakfast and don't have much time to prepare any more meals other than breakfast. Now that I have found this website I dusted off my crock pot that hadn't been used for 3 1/2 years and it has been going non stop. I even had to go and buy another Crock-Pot to keep up. It has changed my life and I am eating much healthier now thanks to you. I have made this recipe twice and I love it. I made the soup mixture but I also added the cream of chicken soup and it makes it thick which I like. Thanks.
- September 8, 2009 at 8:51 PM

I'm planning to use precooked turkey meat. Is there any modification that you would make other than length of time? Thanks for your recipes. Most crockpot sites are full of dairy and stew meat and those are just not our family's style.

also we loved the sweetpotatoes with marshmallows recipe.
- December 1, 2009 at 12:11 PM
- Stephanie O'Dea said...
Hi Sarah,
I'm glad you liked the sweet potatoes! We had them on Thanksgiving, too.
If you're using pre-cooked turkey, all you really need to do is cook long enough for the onion to become tender and the flavors to meld a bit. I'd think 4 hours on low or 2 hours on high is probably plenty, depending on how quickly your slow cooker gets up to speed.
if you're home to monitor, check after a few hours and judge from there. I'm not a big rule follower, and poke and prod and lift the lid lots on my slow cookers while they're working. :-)

Thanks for all of these yummy recipes! I just tried this chicken and dumplings recipe tonight and the flavor is marvelous! I did the homemade soup version, rather than the "cream-of-something-soup" version. My husband won't go near anything that has "cream-of-something-soup" in it. Thank you for the alternate suggestion!

It's a rainy day and this is almost ready. I'm making it today for the second time-- sooo good! Perfect comfort food. I recommend using thighs and then following the instructions for making your own "cream of" sauce. Excellent and easy-- thanks AGAIN!

Hi, Steph, you might want to try the Bisquick dumpling recipe here with gluten-free Bisquick!
3/4 cup Bisquick® Gluten Free mix
1/3 cup milk (can use almond, rice soy, or coconut milk)
2 tablespoons butter or margarine, melted
1 egg
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
I used dried parsley and dill, and also added garlic and onion powder--YUM!
I have to admit, though, I am kinda ticked off at Bisquick--they charge and ARM AND A LEG for the gf mix--and all it is is rice flour, potato starch, baking powder, salt, and sugar. And xanthan gum. I could mix that up by myself for a lot less. "Normal" Bisquick has shortening in it, but not gf, for some reason.
It did taste great, though!
- February 5, 2011 at 1:59 PM
Here's a great and easy dumpling recipe my husband loves...
2 cups of white flour
4 tsp. baking powder
1 tsp. salt
4 tbsp. soft margarine or butter
1 cup of milk (or more)
I also like to marinade the chicken in some lemon juice, crushed mint, olive oil and some salt and pepper just to give it some more flavor.
- March 29, 2011 at 12:29 PM
THis might be a silly questions but if i make the homemade stuff do i make the recipe you have listed twice or is the recipe listed supposed to make the amount of two cans...
- September 28, 2011 at 7:27 AM

- December 14, 2011 at 8:03 PM
We enjoyed this and I will make it again. However, it needs a lot more salt and pepper. The biscuits also took about an hour to cook, but that may have been because of the high altitude here.
- December 28, 2011 at 3:40 PM
I love chicken and dumplings but I only have a 3.5 quart crock pot. Is there anyway to adjust this recipe to fit mine??

This was amazing!! I used white spelt flour and made a double batch baking powder biscuits to go with them. I just baked them and we crumbled them into the soup as we ate and it was wonderful. A very potpie kinda chicken taste. I'm dairy free so this was really a treat for me!

I've never had chicken and dumplings but this looks fantastic. There's just something strangely appealing about a golden bird and then adding it to soup. Sold.

Singapore Celebrates Holika Dahan

Holika Dahan, or burning of demon Holika, is celebrated the night before the Holi festival and is said to commemorate the escape of Prahlad, adevotee of god Vishnu, from being burned when carried by Demoness Holika into a fire.

I did manage to go thrifting before work on Saturday and scooped up two skirts, a new black half-slip, a t-shirt for the wonderful boyfriend, and a book for 4.32$ (we love half-off student discount days!). Dad lucked out as well and gave me four shirts for him as well to get a discount so the total was about 8$.
I passed up on three things (I do this a lot) which I may scoop up tomorrow if they are still there. One can only have so many ridiculous dresses, something I thought I would never say, when one's closet rack collapses.
I am also very excited since my favorite flowers have come out finally!

Villefranche (Monte Carlo, Cannes, Nice), France*Location: Europe
Villefranche, France is an endlessly exciting port of call on a Disney Cruise Line European Cruise vacation. With Mont Boron to the west and Cap Ferrat to the east, Villefranche is a glittering retreat on the French Riviera that immerses you in the romance of the region. Visitors thrill at the opportunities to sightsee, shop and tour grand landmarks and palaces dating back several centuries.
Things to See and Do
Families who arrive in Villefranche with the intent to discover it together find that their curiosity is rewarded with innumerable delights. The 16th-century Citadel is a perennial favorite destination, as is the centuries-old Rue Obscura vaulted passage that allows for a memorable stroll underneath the city.
There are, of course, many sites of historical significance and grandeur above ground. Two baroque 14th-century churches stand in all their splendor and former glory in Villefranche: Chapelle Saint-Pierre (Saint Peter's Chapel) and église Saint-Michel (Saint Michael's Church) . Both are well worth a visit to understand the rich history and architecture of the region.
Villefranche's proximity to such hotspots as Cannes and Nice also afford tourists further thrills.
Try your hand at exhilarating games of chance in nearby Monte Carlo's Grand Casino, or perhaps treat yourself to savory fine cuisine at the Café de Paris. From there, you can travel along the scenic Lower Corniche as you approach the country of Monaco. The entire nation encompasses less than a square mile and holds barely 32,000 inhabitants. Take a jaunt over to the circuit where the Monaco Grand Prix is famously held. There, too, you can catch a ride aboard a train that shuttles you merrily along the coast.
Still more experiences of distinction await tourists eager to seek them out along the Promenade des Anglais that leads you straight to the Cours Saleya market in Nice, where flowers, crepes and souvenirs are in plenty supply. Further along the coast is Cannes—a renowned playground for the rich and famous, and of course, host to one of the most prestigious film festivals in the world.
Local Culture and Flavor
Year after year, tourists find themselves smitten with the beauty of the almost perfectly preserved medieval city that is Villefranche. When you arrive, you will see that the port is uniquely surrounded by an imposing wall and is perched high on a cliff, overlooking the sea. This ancient fortress encompasses the Town Hall, a convention center, an open air theater and 3 museums.
Wander the cobblestone streets of Villefranche and discover gems like a traditional perfume factory, where factory experts can help you craft your own unique fragrance using time-honored techniques.
There's even something for the sporty gentleman: The pier at Villefranche has convertible automobiles available for rent. Take a luxury European brand vehicle for a spin along the winding seaside road.
Past and Present
The singular beauty of Villefranche is not a new discovery, as its harbor has been enjoyed and used for trade as far back in time as the days of the ancient Roman and Greek empires.
The port came under wider use in 1295, when Charles II—then the Count of Provence—declared Villefranche a free port complete with tax privileges. Unfortunately, it was sacked by invading Franco-Turkish armies 3 centuries later in 1543, prompting the construction of its now famed citadel.
The following centuries would see occupation by a string of conquerors, from the Franco-Spanish army to the Russians and finally the French once more. Though it remained an important commercial harbor throughout these times, it only came into its own as a popular tourist destination in the 1980s, when cruise lines found it to be an ideal port providing much pleasure to sea travelers.
One visit to Villefranche is enough to convey just why tourists, aristocrats and celebrities find their way to this fair French city year after year.
* This port requires tendering.

Hey everyone,
I've been following the FSM for a while, but now that I've graduated and started my Air Force career I have been getting an urge to do something more. I've donated money to secular lobbies, put a FSM fish on my car, joined freethought organizations, put my name down for Atheist in Foxholes, countless other things. We all know that despite a sizeable number of rational thinkers out there, all the attempts to organize anything influential have been pretty weak sauce.
The FSM has been the one polarizing idea that people can get behind. Humor is a powerful weapon. I was inspired after reading about the hate church protests that were thwarted by our pirate comrades' efforts. The Million Noodle March is a great step too. What if we did a little more? Put on science shows for the kids, raised some money for secular charities, help out the struggling lobbies some. Put on spaghetti dinners, stand across the street from hatefule protesters with good natured satire.
I think this is all possible under a saucey pirate banner that people could get behind! Throw in some secret handshakes, some pirate regalia, a few passwords and inspiring history. I think FSM has the numbers already to start chapters everywhere. A secular "Knights of Columbus" or any of the other communities that provide positives and influence that have always been the exclusive domain of religious groups.
Obviously the possibilities are endless, but without getting carried away... I wanted to see if anyone else had thoughts like this. In keeping with the stated goals and good natured humor of the FSM, perhaps a good start could get Bobby's sanction eventually. Why not brainstorm some ideas for how pastafarians could have fun being a little more active?
Any ideas for a good name?

Lately Ive been hankering for an affordable, round neck resonator guitar and I'm looking for suggestions. What kind of pie tins are you guys wielding?
Lately Ive been hankering for an affordable, round neck resonator guitar and I'm looking for suggestions. What kind of pie tins are you guys wielding?
I have an inexpensive Regal resonator. Fun for the bluzey, slide stuff.
Looks like this, but without the headstock inlay...
Found an old pic of it, on the wall...
That looks like a "Where's Waldo" picture. Find the Resonator (if you can)
I have a Busker MM Blues resonator.
I've been jonesing for one, too. I can't decide. Between round or square neck, but I know I want a pickup. Anyone got any experience with these amplified? For gigging, I've been thinking about one of these:
When I need a bluesy, slide track, done well, I want to record a resonator.
There's this guy I hire who's really, really great and....uh...oh, you wanted to find a guitar to play yourself, eh?
I got nothin',
I saw ten thousand talkers whose tongues were all broken...
Website: http://www.elfxi.com
I like the looks of the all metal resos, but I think my playing style would require the wood body model. My ham-fisted, off-time, chord-pouding doesn't need to be accentuated with the all metal body.
same here - but I've been hankering for some time for a Trussart SteelPhonic...
and/or a Resogator....
of course both would have to wait until I get a goldie DGT in the family ;-)
Modified SE Bernie Marsden, Fender Strat
Laney Lionheart L5T-112, Fender Mustang 1, POD HD 500X
Wishing for a U.S. made Blue Bernie!
Click here for SE Bernie Marsden demo!
Lessons, covers, backing tracks, etc...www.youtube.com/mikegarveyblues
I've had my eye on this one, haven't bought it yet....can't seem to pull the plug. Not badly priced and has good reviews: Gretsch Root Series G9220 Bobtail Round Neck Acoustic/Electric Resonator 2-Tone Sunburst
I've got one of these: http://www.fender.com/series/folk/fr-50ce-resonator/
Very cool - it's got a Tele pickup and a piezo - pretty versatile.
You're never too old for tater tots.
That guitar makes me wanna play "Bad Seamstress Blues".
One Life
That Gretsch above looks cool. It'll probably need a set up, but I know some people who do that sort of thing.
If you get one, let us know how it goes.... maybe I can convince my wife this would be a good use of our tax refund. Also, perhaps PRS should make one!
I just ordered a Highway 61 from Republic Guitars, they are installing a Lace Ultra Slim humbucker and getting it shipped up to Alberta all for just shy of a grand Looking forward to seeing what it can do!
I was just talking gear with a co-worker and I told him I have a hankering for a Reso. He slapped me in the face and said "Snap out of it!".

Product Test: Rice Cooker
We bought the Prep Solutions Rice Cooker at WalMart for 5.97. As our testter, Megan showed us, it is very easy to use. You just fill up the container as directed. Add your water and rice. Then, just pop it in the microwave for the instructed amount of time. In the end, you have perfectly cooked up rice without much fuss or muss at all.
Our tester liked the product and gave it two thumbs up.

With the February 14 announcement that Time Warner (TW) is selling most of its print magazines to little-known Midwest publisher Meredith Corporation, the media giant continues its great shrinking act which dates back to 2001. At the time of the AOL-Time Warner merger in January of 2000, the market capitalization of the company was $350 billion. Today its book value is $30 billion. In an understatement in a conference call last week, John K. Martin, Time Warner's chief financial officer, said "very challenging industry conditions" are weighing heavily on the company.
TW isn't selling everything, however, as it will be keeping the magazines that Meredith doesn't want, including Time, Fortune, Sports Illustrated, and Money magazines. Meredith (which publishes Better Homes and Gardens and Ladies' Home Journal) did take over many others from TW including People magazine, which has lost 12 percent of its newsstand business in just the last six months.
Jeffrey Bewkes, TW's chief executive, has refused to let go of Time magazine, even though its revenues have dropped roughly 30 percent over the past five years and continues to be a drag on earnings. An insider noted that "Time's name is on the door … [and] I think Jeff feels it would be better to hang onto it and not sell it now for what would be a low price." That may be another mistake that the company will regret, as that price could get even lower. TW's merger with AOL in early 2000 soon went south as it lost subscribers at an alarming rate, dropping AOL's market value from $226 billion to about $20 billion. The company unloaded the remains of AOL in 2009.
In 2001, TW sold its interest in World Championship Wrestling in March 2001, followed by its sale of the Atlanta Hawks, the Atlanta Thrashers, and its operating rights to Philips Arena in 2003. Soon after, TW sold its Comedy Channel to Viacom, and then in 2004, it sold its Warner Music Group. Later that year it closed down its CNNfn financial news channel, and liquidated its holdings of Google stock.
