That may be really involved.
It may be just easier to buy a wireless game adapter like the Linksys WGA54G. You plug in your NIC into it and the units's antenna then connects you to your wireless network.
- You'll have to assign a network address to the Linux box, or get the Vista laptop to be a DHCP server.
- Then you have to set up routing on the vista Laptop.
- Your home router may not NAT the IP address you assigned to the Linux box and then you won't get access to the net. Either you modify the configuration of the router or you get the Vista box to NAT the IP address of the Linux box to an address in the range of the router's LAN interface.
You could also consider adding a wireless card to your Linux box. Ubuntu's support for ndiswrapper is fairly good.

This lite cart has a wonderful font & beautiful floral designs. I was very impressed with the font. It blends well to put words together in design studio, but because of the detail does not work well super small... This could have been much improved with a font black out so that layering would have been possible.
This is one of my favorite cartridges. I've used the images for embellishments on cards and scrapbook layouts. The card shapes are unique and versatile and the font is awesome too.
This is my favorite cartridge. I have used it again and again. The designs are elegant but casual and the font is quite nice.

Other voices
If you wish to have additional voices to use with SuperNova Magnifier & Speech (for example, a different language) these can be purchased as optional extras.
At Dolphin we have decided to extend the range of synthesisers we offer so as to extend choice to our customers. Speech development is no longer part of our core strategy. Accordingly, ownership of the Orpheus synthesiser has been transferred to Meridian One Limited. Orpheus 2 continues to be fast and responsive and we realise it has a loyal following. Therefore we will continue to provide Orpheus 2 with selected products.
Orpheus 3 and later versions, along with new and updated voices and languages, is now available direct from Meridian One.

Photo by Cookbook cover image courtesy of Random House
YIELD: 6 servings
IngredientsSpice Mixture:
- 3 tablespoons coarse sea salt
- 2 teaspoons dried Greek oregano or savory
- 1 teaspoon chopped fresh rosemary leaves
- 3 teaspoons caraway seeds
- 1 teaspoon cumin seeds
- 1/2 teaspoon ground turmeric
- 2 tablespoons Harissa or Aleppo or Mara's pepper to taste
- 1 teaspoon chopped garlic
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- One 5-to 6-pound bone-in leg of lamb
- 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
- 1/3 cup dry white wine, or more if needed
- 1½ pounds medium or small red onions, peeled and halved or quartered
- 2 or 3 fresh rosemary sprigs, or 1 tablespoon dried
In a spice grinder, a clean coffee grinder, or a mortar, grind the salt, oregano, rosemary, caraway, cumin, and turmeric to a fine powder. Transfer to a bowl and add the harissa and chopped garlic. Add the olive oil to make a thick paste. Make 8 or 9 deep slits all over the lamb and insert some of the spice paste, rubbing the paste all over the surface of the meat. Cover and let stand for 1 hour at room temperature or, preferably, refrigerate for at least 5 hours or overnight. Bring to room temperature before roasting.
Preheat the oven to 450°F. Place the leg of lamb fat side down in a roasting pan that will hold the onions in one layer. Roast for 20 minutes. Mix the lemon juice and wine in a small bowl. Turn the meat and pour the lemon-wine mixture over it. (If you are roasting the lamb in a clay dish, warm the mixture first, because cold liquid can cause the clay to crack.) Reduce the oven temperature to 375°F and roast for 35 minutes, basting every 10 to 15 minutes with the pan juices. If the pan dries out, add a little more wine.
Transfer the lamb to a plate and add the onions to the pan, tossing them well to coat them with the pan juices. Add the rosemary sprigs or sprinkle with dried rosemary, toss, place the lamb on the onions, and continue roasting, basting often, for another 30 minutes, or until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the meat reads 135°F. Transfer the meat to a heated platter, cover with a double layer of aluminum foil, and set aside. (Leave the oven on.) If the pan juices are watery, transfer most of them to a saucepan and cook briefly to reduce.
Meanwhile, return the pan to the oven and continue baking the onions until tender, with browned edges. Turn the oven to broil. Place the lamb on the onions again and broil for 2 to 3 minutes, or until the surface is deep brown and crackling. Carve the lamb and serve, passing the pan juices in a bowl or sauceboat at the table.

CHCI Thanks Its Cornerstone Donors For Their Commitment to Building Our Future, Together
|Watch the Video
As we prepare to make the transition to our new interim home, we would like to thank once again our cornerstone donors Anheuser-Busch, Bank of America, Dell, PepsiCo, State Farm, and Toyota for their historic support. Together with CHCI, these five companies have demonstrated an unwavering commitment to building our future and furthering the organization's mission of increasing Hispanic representation in leadership and highly-skilled professional roles in Washington, D.C., and across the country.
"I am extraordinarily grateful to Anheuser-Busch, Bank of America, Dell, PepsiCo, and Toyota for their generous gifts to the Congressional Hispanic Caucus Institute," CHCI Chairman Rep. Ruben Hinojosa said. "Each generation is measured by how we prepare our youth to lead and how we keep the promise and opportunity of the American dream alive for future generations, and it's never been more critical that we invest in education and leadership development for young Latinos. The contributions of our cornerstone donors, the largest in our history, will ensure the future success of our mission."
With 66,000 Latinos turning 18 every month and Hispanics comprising 74 percent of new entrants to the workforce in the next decade, it's clear that the future strength of the U.S. is tied to the success of the Latino population, and these gifts demonstrate the commitment these companies have to supporting the future face of America.
"For the last thirty years, Anheuser-Busch has proudly supported CHCI to invest in the future leaders of our country," said Margarita Flores, vice president, Community Affairs at Anheuser-Busch. "Anheuser-Busch's investment in America's students, together with the great work of CHCI, will help ensure more Latinos lead in the future."
"At Bank of America, we're focused on developing the future generation of leaders through education, service and internships, and we appreciate long-time partners like the Congressional Hispanic Caucus Institute," said Brian Moynihan, Chief Executive Officer of Bank of America. "Together, we can connect future Latino leaders to success."
"Dell is proud to join with the Congressional Hispanic Caucus Institute to help Latino students grow and thrive and I applaud CHCI's efforts to educate, empower, and connect the next generation of U.S. leaders," said Michael Dell, founder and CEO of Dell, Inc. "Congratulations to Representative Rubén Hinojosa and Esther Aguilera for translating their vision of increased educational attainment into over 8,500 CHCI alumni success stories."
"Business leaders like myself and others would be smart to not only serve our communities and the consumers, but also to figure out how to find these great young, inspirational Latino leaders that who can run our businesses for us someday in the future," said Al Carey, CEO of PepsiCo Americas Beverages. "PepsiCo and the PepsiCo Foundation are committed to CHCI's efforts to develop Latino youth and its 21st Century Leadership Center."
"Toyota's collaboration with CHCI to support the future Hispanic leaders of our country directly contributes to the prosperity our nation's growth and we're honored to be part of its initiatives," said Patricia Pineda, group vice president, Hispanic Business Strategy Group. "We believe in the organization and its mission, and look forward to working with them closely for many more years to come."
CHCI President and CEO Esther Aguilera said: "In order to meet the demand for educated, civic-minded leaders who reflect the growing diversity of our nation's population, we must expand our programs and capabilities. Thanks to the commitment of our cornerstone donors, we will be able to accomplish great things in the realm of community- and institution-building and ensure that more Latinos attain the American Dream."
CHCI's programs are transformational for thousands of low-income, diverse students and continue to expand to meet the growing needs of the community. They include the Ready to Lead Program for high school students, the Congressional Internship Program for college students and the Public Policy Fellowship Program and Graduate Fellowship Program for college graduates, plus numerous other scholarship opportunities for Latino students enrolled in community colleges, four-year programs and graduate schools.
The cornerstone donations were announced during CHCI's 36th Annual Awards Gala on October 2, where a crowd of more than 2,200 national leaders gathered in support of Latino youth.

"Borrrring!" That's the usual response one gets when the subject of history is brought up to the average teenager. Let's face it, the topic itself conjures up images of dry, dusty old professors prattling on for hours on end about stuff that might have happened hundreds - if not thousands - of years ago.
I mean, who cares about the Treaty of Ghent, the Spanish Armada, the Mexican-American War, the Berlin Airlift, Sputnik and the Cuban Missile Crisis?
Who cares, right?
Well, some people do care and it, and many of those were gathered in the student center at CEU on Friday, March 12 for the annual Utah State History Fair's regional finals.
Those qualifying will go on to state competition scheduled to take place at the University of Utah at a yet to be determined date.
"I think with the advent of the History Channel, A&E and other cable networks, history has really come alive for a lot of these kids," said Jarad Hardy, a teacher at Mont Harmon Junior High School and one of the judges of the event.
"To these kids it means even more," he added. "These networks give students more of a visual context of history, one which our generation did not have."
In this competition, pupils from grades 6 through 12 are expected to research and create their own exhibits. The efforts on display last week included the history of telephones, animal traps, Utah mining, photography, athletic shoes, mummification, brain surgery, television, Roman military engineering, frozen food, the Pony Express, X-rays, automobiles, submarines, computers, Greek mythology, medicine, the Internet and many more.
There were even exhibits on Ft. Fincastle in the Bahamas, as well as a history of toilets and an explanation of the Communist Manifesto by Karl Marx.
The pupils are judged on several categories, including media, presentation, documentary, Web and performance work.
"There are as many projects as there are students participating," said Nick Demas, the director of the fair, who supervises about 10 such events throughout Utah annually. "You would be surprised at what these kids can come up with. It never ceases to amaze me."
While reseaching her material on autos, Castleview Elementary sixth-grader Leah Kinnick got a taste of what higher educational chores are to come.
"I was a little scared, but I learned a lot and had fun," she said. "I'd like to do this next year, too."
Another judge and Mont Harmon instructor, Joe Cha (pronounced CAW), explains the process to his charges, but remains appropriately hands-off.
"I show them examples of past work and talk about the theme and give them time for research, but from there it's their projects," he said. "This is a great opportunity to put classroom work into practical application. A lot of our students come back year after year to participate."

By MELANIE STEELESun Advocate reporter
Pinnacle Canyon Academy recently submitted an application to Utah's charter school board for the addition of a high school to the program for the 2005-2006 year.
The high school, located on the top floor of Pinnacle Canyon Academy's new building on Airport Road in Price, would offer a different educational experience in Carbon and Emery counties, states the application.
Pinnacle Canyon Academy was founded in 1999 by chief administrative officer Roberta Hardy, according to the charter school's website.
Hardy was the authorized agent who submitted the application to the charter school board. According to the application's mission statement, the primary goals of Pinnacle High will include:
Integrating technical and academic education in a school that prepares students for post-secondary education and leadership in the high technology industry.
Increasing the number of educationally disadvantaged students in math and engineering who succeed in high school and post-secondary education and who becomeproductive members and leaders in the country's high technology industry.
Providing all Pinnacle High students with an excellent education and to graduate students who will be thoughtful, engaged citizens prepared to take on the difficult leadership challenges of the 21st century.
Pinnacle High would serve grades nine through 12 and would be technology-based with a focus on math and science. The projected enrollment cap would be 200students.
The application states that Pinnacle High will train its teachers to use Kagan's Cooperative Learning Model and Dufour's Professional Learning Community Model.
The Kagan's Cooperative Learning Model is based on a research program conducted by Spence Kagan beginning in 1968.
The researcher and "his associates discovered that, world-wide, children of all ages in many parts of the world became more cooperative when they were placed in certaintypes of situations," pointed out Kagan Publishing andProfessional Development.
Kagan started a research program to apply the findings to classrooms and created simple structures that allow teachers to guide the interaction of students, continued the company. Kagan's structures have proven positive results in many areas, including greater academic achievement, improved ethnic relations, enhanced self-esteem, harmonious classroom climate and the development of social skills. Kagan participants emphasize the motto: "Learn it today, use it tomorrow, apply it for a lifetime."
Pinnacle High will admit all pupils who wish to attend the school, up to the maximum amount, the application states. An outside lottery firm will conduct the lottery. The application designates the following lottery procedures:
� Interested parents will call the lottery phone number to obtain a number.
The lottery will be open for 30 days.
The lottery drawing will be held in Pinnacle Canyon Academy's multi-purpose room.
Numbers will be drawn and the order they are taken from the receptacle will dictate who is admitted.
If more students apply than can be admitted due to limited capacity, then Pinnacle High will place the remaining students on a waiting list.
Students of founding members will have their names placed on the list before the lottery begins and the openings for admission will be filled with lottery students. Dismissal procedures for the school will be the same as outlined by the State Board of Education. In addition to the Pinnacle High application, 18 other charter schools have applied to the State Charter School Board. The applications are currently beingreviewed and the charter board will be taking a final vote on charter recommendations at a Nov. 18 meeting. The charters will then be proposed to the State Board at its Dec. 3 meeting.
Carbon County School District Superintendent David Armstrong said the opposition of the school board to Pinnacle High will be voiced at the Nov. 18 meeting inSalt Lake City. According to Armstrong, the addition of the charter high school would have devastating effects on enrollment numbers for the school district and would likely lead to the elimination of several programs.

Comments about POLAR Men's FT7 Training Computer:
I bike, run, and ride horses. Very easy to use with an appealing appearance. Easy to read display, but it would be nice to have a mode that shows HRM and timer at the same time. HR zone alarm is barely audible, and the signal from the strap is unreliable and at times erratic. I can be out of breath getting a reading of 54, and standing still with a reading of 280. I have tried new chest straps and transmitters, and the best advice Polar had for me is "operator error." I have had no problems with 2 HRM's I have owned in the past (1 Polar, 1 not).

Comments about POLAR Men's FT7 Training Computer:
I researched a bunch of these and this one seemed the best overall. I was right. Very easy to use and read.
The watch is super comfortable and I actually wear it around when I am not working out sometimes. It seems to be very accurate too.
The chest strap seems weird at first, but if you strap it tight it does not move. It took me 1 workout to get used to it. Now, I don't even feel it much.
Overall, it is great if you are looking for such a product. I would recommend it to anyone interested in keeping their heart rate in specific zones, tracking calories to lose weight, and have better fitness.

We're Unique
In the Department of Leadership and Management, our courses emphasize both scholarly organizational research and practical applications including understanding organizational culture and managing organizational change. Our students combine essential leadership traits with well-rounded scholarship. Many features set Saybrook's masters and doctoral degree programs in Organizational Systems apart from programs elsewhere:
- Learning Community: The ongoing reflection and support provided by a learning community of faculty and students help active and nascent leaders to become effective change agents.
- Strong foundation courses that bridge theory and practice: The theoretical foundations of these degree develop core competencies in systems thinking, leading organizational transformation, action research, and values-based leadership.
- Culminating research project: In the Saybrook tradition of nurturing scholar-practitioners, the programs engage students in leadership development activities through experiential learning, individual and group projects, research and dialog forums, and a final research project (of different scope for MA and PhD students) that involves an action-research or systems design engagement in an organizational context.
- Growing network of practitioners in the field: The core and adjunct faculty within OLT and across Saybrook are part of an intentional network of leaders and organizations in the field interested in providing project, scholarship, and career opportunities for students.

A tidal wave of aging baby boomers will lead to an explosion in the numbers of elderly people in the next few years. In Maine, for example, more than a quarter of the population is expected to be aged 65 or older by 2030. AARP board member Ronald Daly says it's an issue which sometimes keeps him awake at night. Daly, and others involved in the issue, join Maine Things Considered host Tom Porter for a discussion about how to best deal with the aging of the population.
"In the world we live in today in the United States, five percent of our population chews up 45 percent of our healthcare spending," Daly says. And a large proportion of that five percent is made up of the elderly. "And so as that group gets bigger and bigger and chews up more of the healthcare system, it creates a burden on everybody."
Daly joined me in the studio recently, along with Nancy LeaMond, executive vice-president of AARP's State and National Group, and the organization's state director, Lori Parham. They were all in Portland this week for a round-table discussion featuring legislators, economists and community leaders, organized in conjunction with Governing magazine. "http://www.governing.com/".
Called "Aging in Place," the forum looked at how to set up "age-friendly communities," also known as "livable communities." It's an issue also on the mind of Maine lawmakers, who recently launched their own series of discussions aimed at drawing up a list of policy recommendations regarding the state's aging population.
With a median age of 43, Maine is the oldest state in the nation on a per capita basis, and as such, says Daly, is regarded as a petri dish - a testing ground for how to cope with a rapidly-aging population. The key thing, he says, is to try and ensure that more senior citizens are an asset to the community rather than a burden.
And enabling them to grow old at home is a start. "If you look at statistics around the country, it costs abount $82,000 a year to keep a person in a nursing home. But if they were able to stay in their home, it's probably as low as $30,000," he says. "So there's an economic benefit to keeping seniors in their homes."
And as state director Lori Parham points out, stay-at-home seniors also contribute more to the local economy than they would if they were institutionalized.
"If folks are aging in place, it's good for the economy, it's good for local business," Parham says. "People are shopping. In the case of my grandmother, they're getting their hair done once a week. They're out, they're engaged in the community and they're spending money.
So what exactly is meant by a livable community? What are the traits of an age-friendly town? Nancy LeaMond explains.
"We look for accessibility, we look for affordable housing, we look for a part of the city where there are services that people can get to easily. Civic engagement is very important, particularly to 50-plus Americans," LeaMond says. "All of these are elements of a livable community."
The hallmark of an age-friendly community, says LeaMond, is that it benefits all the population - not just the older folks. "If you have a street that has a cut-out that somebody can walk on, it's going to be good for an older person, and it's going to be good for a mother and child in a stroller."
How to achieve this is of course the big question. In Maine, for example, Portland rates fairly well as a livable community - with pedestrian trails, bike paths and public transportation. But in Maine's more isolated rural communities, being elderly can be more challenging.
More support is also needed for caregivers, says Lori Parham, many of whom are unpaid and save the state a lot of money by caring for family members.
"We have to make sure that we invest in these caregivers as well, whether it's work policies that ensure that caregivers can take the time they need," she says. "And we can also invest in programs such as respite, that cost very little in terms of dollars, but give caregivers the break they need so that they can continue to care for aging parents."
Another part of the equation, says Ronald Daly, is keeping seniors in the workforce for longer. "One of the things that I think seniors are starting to recognize is that maybe retirement at 62 and 65 is a very elusive thing," he says. "So my concern is - and I think the AARP's concern is - if they are to work five, ten more years, what is it will they do?
Helping people find new career paths in later life is a challenge, he says. And, indeed, at this stage there are many more questions than answers when it comes to dealing with an aging population. But with huge demographic changes on the way, says Daly, the cost of simply doing nothing is bound to far outweigh the cost of taking action.

SNOW: 'RESILIENT" NYI "WILL GET OUT OF IT"Practice: Gordon gets ticked, Bailey a center again
12:45 pm, Iceworks: Garth Snow declined an interview request made Saturday night by me for AOL FanHouse and Point Blank after his team's seventh consecutive loss in regulation.
However, Snow conducted an interview (subscription required) on Sunday afternoon with Katie Strang of Newsday, saying he has confidence in his team, they "will get out of it" and he felt the last two games – a 4-1 loss in Ottawa and 2-1 loss at home to the Flyers – "have shown our resilience." The Islanders also coughed up a source saying Scott Gordon's job was safe, going the source route because they have a policy to not publicly discuss the job status of head coaches.
More on this another time.
Breaking news: Josh Bailey, the 2008 ninth overall pick who has played a lot of wing over the last year, is back at his natural position of center. The new lines at practice:
Moulson – Tavares – Grabner
Comeau – Bailey – Parenteau
Martin – Nielsen – Hunter
Weight – Schremp – Gillies
After having days off Friday and Sunday, the Islanders went through a 90-minute practice today that was not exhausting, but exhaustive in reviewing how they want to play the game. "Stern and to the point," Scott Gordon called it.
At 11:00 am – 30 minutes after practice began – Gordon conducted a quiet, calm, instructional session in front of the dry-erase board at center ice that went on for more than ten minutes. In practice with any NHL team, this is rare.
At around 11:30, Gordon momentarily got pissed off. Basic premise was that he really wanted a certain player to get to that darn net.
Zenon Konopka (foot injury, more evaluation to come) and Radek Martinek (day off) did not practice.
I asked Gordon if there was any word on if Kyle Okposo is skating soon. "I was told he's not back until December, so I haven't given much thought to it," said the coach.
Gordon on his team's play before a three-game trip to Califormia: "I'm more encouraged going on the trip knowing we showed some positive signs in our last two games." He added, "I liked the way we responded in Ottawa, cleaning up our defenisve zone coverage. I like the way we have competed."
Charles Wang and Garth Snow watched practice together.

Court expands search for special prosecutor in triple murder case
YAKIMA, Wash. -- Court administrators said they reached out to more prosecutors in the triple murder case against Kevin Harper. They are looking outside the Yakima area for a special prosecutor.
No final decisions have been made about who it will be.
The search stems from allegations that confidential jail calls between Harper and his attorney were accessed by detectives.
The special prosecutor will be hired to look into that.

If you're careful to be sure that the water level stays well over the can, just as many of the early posts in this thread say, boiling in the can shouldn't be a problem. The safety note in the link that ruthcooks points to looks like a CYA kind of link, as in "We don't recommend you do this, because it may be unsafe if you don't do it properly, and we don't want to be sued."
I like the crock pot idea. Might need to investigate that one myself.

I heat my house with a wood/coal stove, and keep a tall aluminum closed pitcher (called a güğüm, for anyone who cares) on the top to have hot water always ready. When the stove is cranking, the thing boils, so perhaps I'll just drop my last can (it's not available in Turkey) of sweetened condensed into it and see how it works! If it does explode, it will be well-contained.

It seems that storing boiled cans of most anything is a pretty safe idea...but then, I'm not one to AssUMe about matters of botulism et al.
If not the shelf, how about the fridge for still-sealed cans?
Posted 15 February 2006 - 02:19 PM
One other use for the dulce de leche is chocolate caramel shortbread - as it sounds - make a batch of butter shortbread, and bake in a shallow tin. Top with your caramel, and then when that's cool, with melted chocolate. It's surprisingly nice when made with really good dark chocolate.
Posted 15 February 2006 - 03:04 PM
I find this last point about storing in pantry for later use intriguing...could I really do a bunch and store them at room temp?

Storing them in the pantry is no problem. Now, if one of them starts bulging or swelling for some reason, then throw it away immediatly. I have never had a problem and neither should you.

I was wondering if there was perhaps a faster way to make smaller quantities of dulce de leche from condensed milk. Could you perhaps just pour it into a saucepan and heat, while stirring occasionally, then continuosly stirring as it gets closer to the desired colour/consistency? Or does it burn/scald if you do it that way?
I tried that...and I personally didn't notice the difference (but I am a super sugar freak so my tastebuds might not be so reliable). The thing with using it in a saucepan is that it takes a LOOONG while of you standing by the stove and babysitting the condensed milk with frequent stirring...
I don't have that much patience.

There is a much quicker way.
Use a pressure cooker as they do in Brazil, it's called "doce de leite" in Portuguese.
Place a can of sweetened condensed milk (paper label removed) in the pressure cooker with water going halfway up the can.
Do not use the rack and avoid dented cans.
Bring up to pressure (15 lb) and depending on the desired consistency:
15 minutes is enough for a soft, spreadable consistency.
25 minutes will give you a thicker, darker product.
Any longer and you'll be able to slice it.
Slowly release the pan's pressure and just let it be.
Cool to room temperature before attempting to open the can.
Has anyone tried the pressure cooker method yet? I just tried the boiling method on 5 cans and they bulged up slightly and though they are still taking forever to cool down in the tropical heat, they have returned to normal shape. I'm tempted to open it......but hehehe caught the BIG WARNING on the first page. Having a non-existent knowledge in physics.........how safe is pressure cooking it?
Posted 20 February 2006 - 02:01 PM
I tried the boiling method in a big container on my woodstove. The first time it never got to a boil, so I left it in longer and tried it the next day. Well...it doesn't have to boil. :) The heat close to the bottom of the pan evidently got things pretty hot, because when I opened the can, it was dark, like chocolate, and tasted pretty weird...there can definitely be too much caramelization!

Hello I am interested in making dulce from scratch(not with condensed milk) I am planning on using goats milk and putting it in a mason jar and then in the immersion circulator for 10-12 hours or until it achieves ther right color and consistence. My question is the recipes I have seen include baking powder or soda I believe, does anyone know what this contributes to the final product?
Sorry that I didn't see your post earlier:
Here is an authentic Mexican recipe as made by Mrs. Obregon, my neighbor, who loves her slow-cooker which she says is muy sympatico.
1 Mexican (or other) vanilla bean, split lengthwise
2 cups regular goat milk, do not use low fat
2 cups regular milk
1 2/3 cups cane sugar
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
dissolved in
¼ cup water
Mix the milk together in a quart measure.
Pour 3 cups of the milk (refrigerate the remaining cup) into the slow cooker and add the vanilla bean and sugar and turn heat control to high and mix with a whisk to make sure the sugar has dissolved.
As soon as the mixtue has warmed to about 140 degrees, add the water with the baking soda and whisk again.
Do not cover the cooker.
Continue cooking for about 8 hours, gently stirring about every 2 hours.
Remove the vanilla bean, wash it and set it aside to dry and stick it into your sugar canister to flavor the sugar.
Meanwhile, with a silicone high temp spatula, scrape down the crust that has formed on the sides and stir it into the mixture.
If foam forms do not remove it, simply stir down into the mixture.
Reduce the temperature to medium and continued cooking. Stir occasionally, about every 15-20 minutes until the mixture has thickened, it should pour like honey.
This should take about 2 hours.
Near the end of this time, warm the remaining cup of milk in a small saucepan then stir into the mixture in the slow cooker. Mix well and transfer to a sterilized quart jar and place the cap lightly on the jar, do not seal.
Allow it to cool to room temperature then tighten cap and refrigerate.
It will keep for three months in the refrigerator.

I did a search on the web and different recipe provide conflicting info. First on the can, should it be covered in water? Does the can get a hole at the top to let the pressure out (yes to this make the previous question moot, I know)? Does it really have to go for 3 hours (one recipe called for 6 hours)? Any way to shorten the time? That is a long time for my family to wait for a dessert?
Recipe and guidance would be greatly appreciated.
Posted 08 October 2006 - 04:18 PM
this really does work well
cover the can with water -- no hole in the can
boil, ensure the water stays covering the can (I do it for more than 2 hours -- I like it pretty thick and brown)
let it cool, THEN open the can
(personally, I do a couple cans at once and just boil it while I am doing laundry and other schtuff)
It tastes realllly good.
Posted 08 October 2006 - 04:19 PM
Saw this on "ham on the street" where you make dulche de leche from a can of sweeten condense milk by simmering the can in water for 3 hours.

You need to make it ahead of time anyway, because the cans have to cool down so you can open them and not have a hot sticky explosion on your hands.
The good news is it keeps on the shelf already made, so you can boil several cans at once and always have it at the ready.

So, Can will not explode? Great. Lets say I make a bunch ahead of time. I am then assuming the contents are shelf stable and I can put it back in the pantry for a few months?
I'm surprised that the manufactures don't sell the stuff already made. I can't wait to give it a try.
Um - disclaimer - I have not personally had a can explode, nor do I know of anyone who has. That doesn't mean it won't! But I do cover the can fully with water and make sure it stays that way.
They do sell the stuff already made - look for dulce de leche, manjar or cajeta. Even smuckers makes a version now - no idea how good it is.

Simmer. The longer you simmer, the darker and thicker the caramel will get. I've done it for as little as probably an hour and a half, or as long as 4 hours - never 6.
yeah, that's how I ususally do it. I don't let it simmer for more than a couple of hours, as I don't like it so thick.

Right on! However I did have some trouble finding it in many places while living in the states. Latin American markets should carry it. Of course, they are not made starting with condensed milk. They are done the traditional way: reduce milk with sugar whisking constantly until it turns dark and rich. They they add some flavorings (like vanilla... I add a little rum to mine ) I like this method better. Of course, here in South America, there's no need to do it, as you can find tasty store bought alternatives.

Posted 10 October 2006 - 02:52 PM
It's very simple and not too scary either.
Just remember to properly whisk up the condensed milk after it comes out of the oven for that lovely and luscious consistency.
Posted 10 October 2006 - 03:41 PM
Simmering at a lower temperature takes longer, but it is safe, as long as you do not reach the boiling point. It's really almost more like poaching. The goal is to caramelize the sugars in the condensed milk. The only way to do that in a sealed can is to slowly raise the internal temp to less than 212, then slowly allow the can (and it's contents) to return to room temp before opening. The pressure will be regulated by that.
Sealed cans are heated all the time, just at the factory under highly controlled conditions. The tea towel as listed above gives you a buffer zone so the water is heating the can not the bottom of the pot in contact with the flame/element.
I just thought of something. Could you do this in a crock pot? If it has a low enough setting, you wouldn't even have to use a burner on the stove. Methinks research is in order...

MASSENA - Wednesday marked the 10th anniversary of the passing of the Clean Indoor Air Act in New York state, prompting the St. Lawrence County Tobacco Free Community Partnership to acknowledge the occasion by teaming up with local Pizza Hut restaurants.
The law protects employees from exposure to second hand smoke in the workplace and all week, servers at the Massena, Potsdamand Canton locations wore t-shirts with themes and logos on them to celebrate the anniversary. Additionally, each building featured a three foot by10 foot banner outside every day to notify the public of the partnership and celebration.
New York became the second state in the country to pass the act after Delaware, and Program Coordinator Benjamin R. Todd said that many other states have followed suit. He also explained what he believed to be the biggest benefits and positives to come out of the passing of the law.
Its done a lot to protect workers and the general public, especially when you talk about bowling alleys and bars and people becoming exposed. Its certainly changed the perception of how people use tobacco products, Mr. Todd said.
The law prohibited smoking inside nearly all workplaces, bars, restaurants, taverns, etc. in the state of New York, preventing millions of people from being exposed. The enactment also generated much opposition, with many feeling that the new law would severely affect New York bars and restaurants in a negative way. However, many areas have seen increases in business and employment, mostly putting to rest the argument.
Mr. Todd realizes that after a long time coming and a lot of work the passing of the law was monumental. Despite this, he is now focused on tackling another issue.
I know that (the passing of the act) took a long time. We were in a meeting last year, and they said it took a long time to go through. It made the most sense to go through at the state level, he said. Moving forward, the one thing we havent been able to impact as much is youth. Youth exposure in tobacco marketing is one of the main causes in youth becoming addicted to nicotine.
Pizza Hut seemed like a natural fit according to Mr. Todd due to the fact that the company has strong feelings about the issue as well.
We tried to identify establishments that were around 10 years ago. The relationship we were able to develop with (Pizza Hut) was strong. When I spoke with the regional manager, he was passionate about the topic. They saw the benefit to their workers. The partnership with Pizza Hut has gone fantastically well. Regionally theyve been very good partners, Mr. Todd said.

Werner Paddles
Sidekick Whitewater Paddle (Fiberglass) (out-of-stock)
Out of Stock Product Number: 10838
The Werner Side Kick has an advanced blade design well suited for pulling off the latest play moves. Its downward tilting blades give great initial power in forward and reverse strokes, as well as immediate response to loading and unloading on command. It's an aggressive design that is well suited for the "tricksters" of the sport, but shouldn't be ruled out if you're not an advanced paddler. With its larger blade size, the Side Kick is a great choice for stronger paddlers.
Also, the Sidekick paddle is available in two shaft types, Straight or Neutral Bent Shaft. Both have their advantages:
Paddlers are more familiar with straight shafts and like the light weight and ability to move their hands along a predictable, straight, and continuous grip area. Straight shafts are typically less expensive.
The Werner Neutral Bent Shaft naturally aligns your wrist to reduce stress on joints. The neutral alignment, unique to Werner Paddles, creates a stable leverage point for bracing and all types of paddle strokes. Special indexing allows more hand contact with the shaft, reducing fatigue and increasing comfort.
Check out the sizing chart for more features and options NEW for 2008.
* This product does not qualify for shipping to all countries.
- Larger Side Kick blades are a great choice for strong, well conditioned paddlers
- Down turned blades enter the water sooner for more initial power and won't get in your way
- NEW! BLUE for 2008

For the past several years, the city has shared the costs with residents for repairs on public sidewalks in front of their properties.
The Watertown City Council on Monday approved the next phase of the sidewalk improvement program. Property owners can pay the city for the work, hire a contractor or do the work themselves.
The program requires property owners to pay $5.25 per square foot over a 10-year period if the city completes the work. The city annually chooses high-traffic neighborhoods, or districts, where decrepit sidewalks hinder pedestrian travel.
Sometimes, property owners have complained about the cost to them to make the repairs.
About a dozen property owners attended a public hearing Monday night to find out more about the program. They did not speak at the meeting, but had several questions afterward.
Councilman Jeffrey M. Smith told the crowd that he first proposed it to help residents share the cost with the city over time.
We wanted to be proactive, he said, recalling that in the past the repairs were done only when a neighbor called the city code enforcement office to complain about the condition of a sidewalk.
The city has sent notices to property owners whose property is part of next years program.
This years program includes properties on California, Harewood, Michigan and Myrtle avenues, Eastern Boulevard, Knickerbocker Drive and Gotham, Haley, Ohio, State and Ward streets. The work will be done this spring and fall.
At the Jan. 22 meeting, council members are expected to authorize borrowing $200,000 for the program. City Engineer Kurt W. Hauk estimated that about 17,820 square feet of sidewalks will be completed under the program this year.
