History of the
'Pringle' family info
provided by Lew Pringle
A lot of what I believe to be the case is not known (at least by me) to be 100% true. The following is what I believe rather than what I know.
BELIEF: the Pringle name (also Pringel) was originally Hoppringle (or Hoppringel), the HOP representing Viking blood from the 11th or 12th Century.
KNOWN or BELIEVED: By the 14th (and certainly 15th) centuries the name was fixed as Pringle. The common point of origin was Smailholm, in the Borders (of Scotland), near Hawick, Jedborough etc. About 40 miles SSE of Edinburgh. I've been there many times. The Pringle home today is a National Trust Property, meaning there's someone there to give tours, sell brochures etc. The Pringles were "Rievers". These were the people who marauded back and forth across Hadrian's Wall into England. It was said of a Pringle, if you take his arm, he'll be back for both of your legs.
Our home was thick stone, 4 stories high, well defended and sat then (and still does) alone at the top of a large and generally unpopulated moor.
Lot's of sheep, beautiful Scottish views in all directions, little else. The Scotts (the family which later bred Sir Walter Scott) lay just south of us.
The Pringles never did have their own tartan (I was told we were too mean to have any friends). We fought for, on behalf of and with the Douglas Clan.
The Pringle's had land and some political connection for at least some time in the 1400s and 1500s. It appears that by the time of 1600,we lost it all. From that point on, there is no centralizing source or point of concentration for the Pringles. There was what appears to have been a 'Pringle Diaspora. For example, my Grandpa Pringle was a Cornish Tin Miner - in the tin mines of Cornwall 12 hours a day, 6 days a week from the time he was 8 years old. Pringle is a VERY non-Cornish name, yet at least his Grandfather was also a Cornishman (if you don't know, many of the Cornish were pirates and that is where Disney got his accent. The first time I saw a Disney movie about pirates I asked my Dad "gee, why does Long John Silver talk like Grandpa?"). So, somewhere between 1600 - when the Pringles fell on hard times - and 1800, when my Grandfather's Grandfather was born, MY part of the Pringles made its way south to Cornwall.
The same for every other Pringle. Most, I believe, tended to go somewhere. And, in those days, that often meant America, South Africa, New Zealand or Oz.
But, we all come together (looking back) somewhere around 1600 in the lowlands of Scotland.

Olympic athlete Oscar Pistorius, known as 'the Blade Runner,' wept in court when prosecutors charged him with premeditated murder in the killing of his model girlfriend, Reeva Steenkamp. Pistorius, who once was an inspiration and model for of people, could end up in jail for rest of his life.
The Guardian reported that Pistorius was formally charged for killing his girlfriend, the 30-year-old model and reality TV show star. Even though local news and rumors said that Pistorius mistakenly shot Steenkamp for thinking her as a burgler, prosecutors didn't seem to agree this saying. They argued Pistorius had planned Steenkamp's killing.
Steenkamp was shot four times with a 9mm pistol.
The shooting also invokes discussion on the violence in South Africa. According to the Associated Press, South Africa has one of the world's highest rates of shooting deaths, behind only Columbia.
Pistorius is a six-time Paralympics gold medalist and first double-amputee to compete in the Olympics. However, despite of his inspiring sports spirit, he is not such a model in other aspects. He crashed a speedboad in 2009, possibly because of alcohol. In the same year, he was arrested and charged with common assault by South Africa police, but the charge was dropped later.

The United States Senate, after three days of political wrangling, dealt a final blow to the US Climate Change Bill, which sought to cap the production of heat-trapping gases and force polluters to buy permits to emit carbon dioxide.
Indeed there were moving statements such as "the most significant piece of legislation to ever come out of the Environment and Public Works Committee." and "The future of our planet is at stake.", and not so moving statements such as "the most important issue facing the world today." and "What are they afraid of?" While there was clear agreement on the problem at hand, the lack of courage to put in place measures to pull the brakes on consumption, the basis for the high emissions in the US was evident. Arguments that the new bill will cause further increases in the cost of fuel is distorted as it will also cause consumption to fall, hence contribute to efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, the main driver of climate change. This will in turn save the US economy billions of dollars and of course save our planet, however the key word from the senate debate is not 'save' but 'spend'.
On the roads, however, market pundits are already observing a change in the vehicular habits of Americans, many of which are shifting to smaller and more efficient cars. Car manufacturers in the US are already under pressure to achieve a meager 27.5 miles per gallon (mpg) by 2011, despite the fact that an average European car already achieves 38.6 mpg and the target for 2008 (yes) is 44.1 mpg for petrol and 51.9 mpg for diesel cars. This significant technological leap was only made possible by a stringent tax regime in Europe which the US is 'afraid' to emulate.
Those threatened by sea level rise, a direct cause of climate change, will sadly have to wait until Quentin Tarantino's classic cult movie moves to Vol. 3, announced since 2004, but yet to be seen or heard.

Dear Editor,
The picture on page 2 in the July 2 paper shows the problem with traffic around the Diamond construction. A while back, there was discussion and a council vote on how the signal at Diamond and Arkansas should be run. The winning vote, that each direction on Diamond should have a dedicated left turn and that only one direction should go at a time, was to give people easier access to the businesses on Arkansas. The side effect of this, of course, is that traffic on Diamond is slowed down horribly.
Since few people are trying to use the Arkansas businesses early in the mornings, how about a compromise to make the morning drive somewhat easier, something that's done in other cities?
• Put up signs on the Diamond signals that read "No left turn from 7-9 a.m."
• Reprogram the signal controller to not light the left turn arrows during those hours.
This will certainly help the flow of traffic on Diamond and alleviate some of the detouring of traffic to side streets.

Level Two authorizes operators to drop interruptible loads. That's when large industrial customers are paid to disconnect for a while, providing extra capacity for the remaining customers.
Kent Saathoff is with the Electric Reliability Council of Texas — the state's electric grid regulator.
"They provide this service to us, and they get paid for it. They agree that they will cut their loads — essentially interrupt themselves — whenever we get in these situation where we need to call on them. That would decrease our load by about 1,000 megawatts. It's running a little over 68,000 right now, which is higher than yesterday."
If the situation doesn't improve, Saathoff says ERCOT could escalate to Level Three, which instructs utilities to reduce demand on the grid by conducting temporary rotating outages, lasting from 15 to 45 minutes as outages rotate through different neighborhoods.
"If we still, if that frequency, you know, we can't maintain that 60 Hertz frequency and it gets below 60 Hertz, that's when we get into Step Three, and that would be the rolling outages."
Saathoff says it's not a matter of insufficient generating capacity — it's a matter of prolonged extreme conditions. Continued record high temperatures and increased electricity demand are expected to continue for the remainder of the week.

Examples of Bias in Wikipedia: Naziism, Socialism, Communism
From Conservapedia
This article lists examples of Bias in Wikipedia, related to Naziism, Socialism, and Communism:
- Edits from Russian Government IP addresses removed statements in the Wikipedia article on Malaysia Airlines Flight 17 which said that Russia had provided the terrorists with the surface to air missile used to shoot down that civilian flight.[1][2]
- Twice in the second paragraph of the page on Nazism, Wikipedia proclaims the movement as a far-right form of politics, "says a majority of scholars". Back in reality, Nazis are actually radical leftists.[3]
- Wikipedia's main article on Communism does not mention any act of genocide in Communist countries, and any attempts to edit the page to include this information are deleted. The Nazism page, however, includes multiple mentions of the Holocaust. The only mention of communist genocide is buried deep within the article structure for Communism.
- Kazakhstan a dictatorship that used to be in the Soviet Union paid $13 million to Tony Blair's PR firm to polish its image. Jimmy Wales's new wife works for that firm, and the WMF accepted a government-front organization which is funded by the Kazakh government to be its local chapter. In 2011, Wales declared the founder of the chapter to be the "Global Wikipedian of the year" and promised to pay $5,000 of expenses toward his attending the 2012 Wikimania in Washington DC. Wales denies the government involvement and failed to make the promised payment.[4][5][6][7][8]
- Augusto Pinochet, who overthrew communism in Chile and then restored democracy before voluntarily giving up power himself, is called a "dictator" by Wikipedia,[9] but Fidel Castro, the communist dictator of Cuba for four decades, is instead called a "leader" or even a "president".[10][11]
- Wikipedia is sympathetic to Fidel Castro in its entry about Cuba.[12] Wikipedia blames President Dwight Eisenhower for choosing "to attend a golf tournament" rather than meet the revolutionary Castro in 1959, and then Wikipedia claims that Castro became a communist because of the American-backed Bay of Pigs invasion in 1961. Conservapedia tells the truth up-front: "Cuba has been ruled by a communist dictator named Fidel Castro since 1959."[13]
- Liberal icon Bertrand Russell receives glowing adoration on Wikipedia, which calls him "a prophet of the creative and rational life," "one of the world's best-known intellectuals" whose "voice carried great moral authority, even into his mid 90s."[14] After 7,700 words about Bertrand Russell, Wikipedia finally mentions Russell's support of the communist revolution, but pretends that Russell quickly opposed it. Instead, Russell wrote that "I believe that Communism is necessary to the world, and I believe ... Bolshevism deserves the gratitude and admiration of all the progressive part of mankind."[15]
- Wikipedia's Communism article omits to mention that millions of people have perished as a result of the Marxist ideology. Near the very end of the article they mention "alleged by some scholars to be responsible for famines, purges and warfare resulting in deaths." The article states "classes are abolished" "oppression-free society" and policies made "democratically" without mentioning those positions are really just propaganda. [1]
- One of Wikipedia's barnstars—given nominally for World War II writing contributions—was in fact an American flag desecrated with Nazi and Soviet Union graffiti. However, this barnstar has since been deleted.
- Although the Free Republic is (correctly) not allowed as a source on Wikipedia; the Srbrenica massacre denying[16] hate site ZNet is regularly used as a source--as is the neo-Nazi blog[17] CounterPunch.
- The Wikipedia article "Allied war crimes during World War II" was sourced to the book Tarzan and "The Foreign Legion" September 7, 2008 through October 6, 2012.[18]
- Wikipedia's article on "far-left politics"[19] outright praises the dismantling of social structures and even goes on to say that the far-left promotes equality, while failing to mention the blatant anti-Semitism and anti-Israel hate speech among the far-left, its racism against whites in the form of Jeremiah Wright, the blatant racism among groups like Black Panthers. While Wikipedia's "far-right politics"[20] article accuse them of maintaining a social hierarchy and being racist and being supremacists that keep the "oppression" in check, while utterly failing to mention the black supremacist politics among the far-left. It promotes the far-left as bringing equality, while failing to mention its supremacist racism by people like NBP for example.

MANKATO, Minn. -- Kyle Rudolph's tax bracket might have changed, but his zip code won't.
The Vikings tight end vows he won't alter his lifestyle much after signing a five-year, $36.5 million contract extension. He'll follow the same route in driving his pickup truck to practices.
"I'm going to stay in the same house I'm in. I'm going to drive the same car that I drive,'' Rudolph said Monday.
Don't get the idea, though, that Rudolph will be a tightwad. Benefitting from the deal he signed Sunday night will be Cincinnati's Elder High School.
"I promised my strength coach (at Elder), who I always train with, when I get my next deal, we'll redo the weight room," Rudolph said.
Rudolph has been looking forward to that next contract for a while. He said last December, "I want to be a Minnesota Viking for life.''
After waiting more than half a year for negotiations to even begin, his agents came to Minnesota for two days two weeks ago to start the process. Rudolph got the news from general manager Rick Spielman while coming off the practice field Sunday afternoon at training camp that a deal finally was done.
"Dream come true,'' Rudolph said. "To walk off the practice field and get a big hug from (Spielman) and, 'Congratulations, you've earned it.' I couldn't thank him enough. ... I think it shows the faith that (the Vikings) have in me."
Rudolph was entering the final year of a three-year, $3.9 million contract he signed after being taken with the No.
Rudolph told the Pioneer Press last April he considers himself the best tight end in the NFL, and the Vikings are banking on him at least being close to that. Rudolph did make the Pro Bowl for a 2012 season in which he caught 53 balls for 493 yards. But he was lost for the season after eight games in 2013 after making 30 catches for 313 yards.
The 6-foot-6, 259-pound Rudolph figures to put up bigger numbers under new offensive coordinator Norv Turner, who loves using his tight ends. His signing means Minnesota has its starting tight end and wide receivers, Greg Jennings and Cordarrelle Patterson, under contract at least through 2017.
"It's great," Jennings said. "Any time you have a guy that's contributed the way Kyle has contributed, and you can lock him in for a few more years, it just helps our offense and makes sure that we can keep those guys intact."
Minnesota players applauded the news Monday.
"He definitely deserves it," running back Adrian Peterson said.
While Rudolph was outspoken about his desire to stay in Minnesota, he insisted he never got anxious about it.
"I knew they'd figure it out and we'd have a fair deal for both sides," he said. "Both sides wanted to get it done."
Rudolph becomes the NFL's fifth-highest paid tight end. His career numbers of 109 catches for 1,055 yards, though, pale in comparison to what has been put up by other heralded players at the position.
It has been suggested that the money the Vikings handed out is something of a risk. All such comments do is fire up Rudolph even more.
"Definitely. No one is going to motivate me more than I motivate myself," he said. "No one is going to have higher expectations than I have of myself."
Vikings coach Mike Zimmer is optimistic that Rudolph will deliver. Since being hired last January, Zimmer has figured out that his tight end likes to make the coaches happy.
"He is a heck of a football player, but he is a pleaser," Zimmer said. "He wants to buy into everything that we are doing. I think that he really likes the direction of where things are going, and I like having those kind of guys on the team. I am anticipating that he will continue to flourish."

BP Wind Energy has failed to meet several state requirements in its preliminary scoping statement for the proposed Cape Vincent Wind Farm and used a half-century-old map for its turbine site plan, according to state Department of Public Service staff.
The mapping included in the PSS is seriously out-of-date United States Geological Survey (USGS) topographic quadrangles published circa 1958, the departments staff said, recommending that BP use the most recent 2012 edition.
The state Department of Environmental Conservation also criticized BPs 222-page scoping document in a formal response, telling the wind developer that its PSS is not in compliance with either the intent or spirit of the requirements of Article X of state Public Service Law.
It also appears to DEC that the PSS is, for the most part, very general in nature, lacking in specificity of important local elements to this particular project, and devoid of as much information as is reasonably available concerning the proposed facility, DEC said. Many of the applicants responses to comments and questions raised during consultations remain unanswered, or simply state that they will be addressed in the application.
Both state agencies suggest that BP should have listed turbine model and specifications under consideration rather than keeping the scope of the project vague.
The description of the proposed facility as being 124-turbine sites with a total size range of 200-285 MW (megawatt), and individual turbines sizes in a range of 1.7 to 3.0 MW is problematic, in that several of the exhibits required by the rules specify that data and information for specific turbines or turbine sizes is needed to complete the application, DPS staff said.
Furthermore, if the developer proposes to erect 124 3-megawatt turbines, the wind projects maximum output would be well over 285 megawatts, state staff pointed out.
Additionally, Department of Public Service staff makes many more requests and recommendations in its 60-page response to BPs statement, several of which closely relate to local concerns raised during the public involvement program phase and upon the PSS submission.
Moving forward, DPS staff said, follow-up discussions should be planned to address this and related topics with interested parties in attendance before the applicant advances to final scoping or application phases.
DPS staffs requests to the wind developer include:
n Provide one or more alternative layouts with a reduced project footprint and an alternative arrangement that avoids locating wind turbines in exclusion zones identified in Cape Vincents zoning regulations.
n Conduct noise studies pursuant to Cape Vincents zoning law and submit noise mitigation plans.
n Include shadow flicker and land value impacts as potentially having effects on existing or potential future land use.
n Provide a wind turbine collapse-and-blade-throw analysis.
n Provide an analysis of public health issues due to a potential damage to the regions water supply infrastructure during the construction phase.
n Provide an analysis on reported problems of low-frequency or infrasound from operating wind energy projects.
n Provide a breakdown of seasonal avian and bat mortality rates, in addition to annual calculations.
n Abide by state requirements for wind turbine setback from electric transmission facilities of 1.5 times the turbines height, including the blades.
n Prove the function test program for each turbine model under consideration and describe how it will ensure that the entire wind turbine has been thoroughly tested and all safety systems work.
n Update the list of stakeholders to include the town and village of Clayton and the town of Brownville.
n Conduct group interviews to identify important landscape characteristics and values attributed by landowners, residents, visitors/tourists, recreational users and others.
The description of the scope of studies anticipated for many of the topic areas identified are general rather than specific as to methodologies to be employed, the study area parameters, and other details appropriate for indicating the methodology, intended extent and duration of studies proposed, the departments staff said.
Regarding some of BPs responses to stakeholder comments, DPS staff said that it found that the applicants responses provide no new information and failed to adequately address the issue/comment and that the some of the information tables were not well-organized or easy to understand.
Department staff also asks that the developers five-mile radius study area be further expanded as appropriate to address view shed resources that may be adversely affected by project siting and operation and include the areas within Ontario, Canada.
Additionally, DPS staff asks for further discussions on several topics such as land use analysis and impact mitigation considerations between the applicant and other interested parties.
In a region that has a significant reliance on tourism as an economic mainstay, the potential for adverse impacts on tourism, heritage and tourism resources and attractions should be undertaken as part of the application, DPSs staff said.

Russell Schroeder has written and self-published an eye-opening (and ear-opening) book on the unused music for Disney films (both animated and live-action). The book, called Disney's Lost Chords, is being published in a limited edition of 1000 copies, and is available solely from the author. The book features 77 (mostly) unheard songs and is illustrated with over 200 pieces of never before published developmental art.
Disney's Lost Chords presents the Vocal/Piano arrangements for 77 unused songs originally written such classic Disney films as Song of the South, Fun and Fancy Free, Melody Time, So Dear to My Heart, The Adventures of Ichabod and Mr. Toad, Cinderella, Alice in Wonderland, Peter Pan, Lady and the Tramp, The Story of Anyburg, U.S.A., Sleeping Beauty, 101 Dalmatians, The Sword in the Stone, Mary Poppins and The Jungle Book. As an added bonus this volume includes musical numbers from several projects like Rainbow Road to Oz and Chanticler that were eventually shelved after initial development. The cover art (by Mary Blair, at left) was created in 1948 for a souvenir program for an event benefiting the Hospitalized Veterans Music Service of the Musicians' Emergency Fund.
Musician and Disney historian Alex Rannie has seen the book and has this to say:
Disney music is an area of personal interest and expertise; I've read most all there is to read about music at the Studio. But nothing could prepare me for the depth of research and breadth of artistry in Russell Schroeder's book. I can't offer enough praise for Russell's labor of love, and once word gets out, Disney's Lost Chords is going to disappear faster than you can say "Bob's your uncle!"

PITTSBURGH (AP) — Pitt coach Paul Chryst says the Panthers are going to rely on several players to replace the production of former defensive lineman Aaron Donald.
Panthers searching for Donald's replacement
Donald was an All-American last year while racking up 11 sacks and 28.5 tackles for loss. He's now in the NFL, forcing Pitt to regroup.
Juniors Darryl Render and Khaynin Mosley-Smith have impressed early in training camp. Both players have run with the first team and have the inside track to start when Pitt opens the 2014 season on Aug. 30 against Delaware.
Render slimmed down to 285 pounds in the offseason while increasing his strength. The Panthers hope he can be the kind of disruptive force that made Donald nearly unstoppable at times a year ago.

Let me explain.
I rest my case.

MMMMM, love those old single action Army's. Mine (sniff) is just a beat up old .44 Navy BP.ReplyDelete
And I just love sinkin my teeth into a good pork chop. Trouble is, bein' a batcheler (that's bachelor whose old an don't care), I have no good way to make a breaded chop. An' dangit!, that breading looks just sooooooo good, Brigid. Now, How d'you make it so it stays ON the chop and not in the pan? What are those yummy looking spices, too? C'mon, now...'fess up.
Oh, yes: about those pink guns...
egads: fate is smilin on me again! The Verification word is p-o-r-y-k-y... omens, anyone?
*snerk* Five minutes of reading your blog should have been enough to answer his question. And that pork chop does look quite delectable...ReplyDelete
Shy Wolf -ReplyDelete
Ok for you.
Home on the Range Pork Chops
2 eggs
1 cup bread crumbs (Italian Style)
handful of fresh Parmesan (I used the shredded from the grocers case not the dried kind in the green can)
4 pork chops
Salt and black pepper
olive oil
Whisk the eggs in a large cereal bowl to blend. Place the bread crumbs in another bowl or pie plate. Place the cheese in a third plate.
You want a pork chop that's about 1/2 tono more than 3/4 inch thick. If it's thicker than that you'll have to butterfly them and pound them with a meat mallet between wax paper to thin them out. If you try and fry up a too thick one, the coating will be tough as nails before the meat is done.
Sprinkle the pork chops generously with salt and pepper. Coat the chops completely with the cheese, pat them a little to get it to stick. Carefully dip the chops into the eggs, then coat completely with the bread crumbs.
Heat 3 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat — MEDIUM! does not mean 3/4 toward high, Add pork chops and cook until golden brown and the center reaches 150 degrees, about 6 minutes per side.
Dammit, Brigid...ReplyDelete
Now you've got me missing my Single Action revolvers.
Think I might have to pick up a Ruger Blackhawk in .357 Magnum (my favorite caliber) once I get through buying all the EBRs I need... ;)
Obviously the reader has not looked at any other post you have ever written.ReplyDelete
Prepackaged meat....hah, only if you shot it and packaged it yourself.
Those pictures are worth a thousand words! The last one is worth at least 5 or 6 napkins.ReplyDelete
Leave off the Parmesan, and that's the same recipe I used for the halibut my dad brought over last weekend. Reduce cooking time to 2-3 minutes per side though.ReplyDelete
Pork chop...
ROTFLMAO! GOOOOOOD post! and that pork chop looks pretty good too!ReplyDelete
I loved it, you oouldn't have made it any clearer.ReplyDelete
Pictures are worth a thousand words.ReplyDelete
A pic of the delicious-looking homemade porkchop ought to be enough to make anybody toss the prepackaged stuff right in the trash as unfit for human consumption.
FWIW, let me also inject a short ad for Kentucky Kernel Seasoned Flour. We first encountered this wonderful product when we lived in (amazingly enough) Kentucky several years ago; at the time, it was still made in a little privately-owned mill in a small town (company has since been bought out, I believe). When we moved to No. Carolina, we would order it by the case until it started to show up in our local grocery stores.
Whether frying chicken, pork, country-style steak, making gravy, or chicken 'n' dumplings, it adds tremendous flavor.
It's too bad more people don't share your appreciation of quality.ReplyDelete
As far as I can tell, the majority of consumers seem to base their decisions based upon some combination of cost, convenience, and some sort of 'coolness' factor that's driven more by advertising budgets than individual preferences.
Keep doing what you're doing! Good food and good guns always make life more enjoyable.
It's only 7:31AM and I'm already drooling and ready for lunch.
Of course, I'm cursed with the "Healthy Choice - Cardboard Flavored Sandwich" and a 100 calorie pack of Sun Chips.
Stupid cholesterol...
My wife and I have taken to using Panko bread crumbs a lot lately. I like the crunch they make. I might try the pork chop with those instead.
Congratulations. i think you showed admireable restraint.ReplyDelete
One cannot compare home cooked food to the stuff one buys at the local supermarket. Even basics like meat cannot compare to that which you shoot and dress out yourself. Flavor is beyond compare. If you coud buy "good" food in a store, who would need to hunt and cook for themselves?ReplyDelete
Preprocessed food like those "chops" are the final step in a deteriorating society. Abandon hope all ye who eat that stuff!ReplyDelete
But, let me respectfully suggest you abandon even the shredded parmesan from the deli case and buy yourself an authentic hefty chunk of Parmigiano Reggiano and a nice grater.
Oh, and would you bequeath me that beautifully gripped SSA? Please?
Quod ipsa loquitur. Defendant's motion carried. 'sgoeat! (In order of descending civility and control.) yum. But hey, the pink guns are cute too. In the proper context, an excellent gift from grandma, if you ever get there. and a footnote: I have a Chinese sister in law who need not look back very far at all to find death by starvation in her family. Her attitude towards food is a slightly different shade of yours. Food is IMPORTANT food deserves GREAT RESPECT. So much so that she dislikes sandwiches as trivializing and disrespectful. She is also an incredible cook. Attitude. Who else do I read who has it?ReplyDelete
Ahhh.... Love it!ReplyDelete
I love Pork Chops. My wife doesn't. On occasion, I'll fix them myself. I prefer the boneless kind but if I find some good looking ones with the bone, I'll grab them.
Pork Chops, Cream gravy made from the Pork Chop cracklins and grease, some corn and peas on the side, corn bread (from a pan, not those little cup-cake things). Perfect!
- AnonymousDecember 4, 2008 at 2:47 PM
I love your recipes. Where did you get your cooking skills?
Straight and to the point!ReplyDelete
No matter how tired, I have never regretted making my family's food. There is something more filling, warmer, more satisfying to my stomach, my core and my soul - the "heat" just seems to last longer than something microwaved!ReplyDelete
In fact, I am feeling the need for cherry cobbler....
Great blog, by the way!
Love those pistols. I dropped some dollar store toy pistols in the trick or treat bags of some of the more obnoxious gun-grabbers' kids.ReplyDelete
I have a cap and ball Pietta revolver, and in a strange blending of old and new tech, the 9X18 makarov bullets I pulled from the rounds to replace w/hollow points work nicely in that......
Oh Jeez, Dives in Pearls mentioned Cherry Cobbler....I was just on my way out to get the fixings for just that. Have been Jonesing for some Cobler and Mysti is making some tonight! :)ReplyDelete
- H the IHDecember 4, 2008 at 10:39 PM
Priceless. Had me laughing all the way to work this morning.ReplyDelete
BTW- You asked about pics of the newly built AR - but I don't have a blog - so no pics. Sorry, Brigid.
H the IH
Well it is not pork chops tonight, but instead venison steaks so tender they were falling apart as I cut them from the haunch. Block Island grain (read, GARDEN FED} deer meat! First of the year.ReplyDelete
Now a request,do you have a good recipe for venison stew floating around in that mental repository of yours? Sure would appreciate it, mine is from an old Navy cook and you know what they say about Navy cooks? The only people in the world who can change good food to S*** without eating it!
Merry Christmas to you and all your readers!
I wanted to lick my monitor. *drooooooool*ReplyDelete
I LOVE pork chops.
- AnonymousDecember 6, 2008 at 3:35 PM
How do you cook your pork chops so that they're not tough? Every pork chop or country style rib that I've cooked has been tough.ReplyDelete
I am looking for a single action army for my wife, she has small hands,,,,I am looking at Uberti's...can you make any recomendations for a small grip as well as where to look for a holster?ReplyDelete
I am looking for a small grip single action army for my wife,,, do you have any suggestions for where to find a smaller calliber with a small grip,,,,anyy thoughts on a holster?ReplyDelete
George B. - small caliber single action?ReplyDelete
First pick? Colt Single Action Army Revolver P1541, 32-20 Winchester, 4 3/4", Double Eagle Black Composite Grip, Nickel Finish, but you're looking at $1500, sort of a collectors piece.
Affordable? EAA has the single action bounty hunter, it's overall a fairly small grip and they come in .22 I don't know much of the EAA. Ahab on my blogroll (host of gunnuts radio knows a ton about EAA pieces, you might ask him).
Then there is the Ruger Single Six revolver. The Single Six is a traditional looking Western style revolver, but with a modernized mechanism.
The Single Six has been adapted to fire the rimfire .22 Long Rifle and .22 Magnum (WMR) and centerfire .32 H&R Magnum cartridges. Cylinders were added to allow "Convertible" Single Sixes that could shoot .22 Short/Long/Long Rifle in one cylinder and .22 WMR/.22 WRF in another. Moderately priced
I started this blog so the child I gave up for adoption could get to know me, and in turn, her children, as well as share stories for a family that lives too far away. So please keep it friendly, kid safe, and open to discussion, not criticism. This is my home. You can live in yours as you wish, but this is my place.

Moving to the UK: Expat tax issues
An UK tax expert gives international UK residents a guide on tax issues to consider when living in the United Kingdom.
If you've just moved to the United Kingdom, there are certain UK tax issues that expats need to consider.
Employment and tax residence in the UK
For most people, coming to the UK will mean that they are taking up an employment. For tax purposes this is a good thing, not least because your UK tax affairs should be relatively simple – but also because your UK employer will take responsibility for paying most of your UK taxes.
The UK has a system of self assessment for taxes, similar to the USA and Australia. Under this system, anyone falling within the UK tax net can be required to file an annual tax return to disclose taxable income and capital gains. Happily, this requirement does not usually extend to most employees as their taxes are already taken care of through payroll tax deductions, known as PAYE (Pay As You Earn).
If you are paying tax through PAYE on your employment income you might still need to file a self assessment tax return if you have other income sources. PAYE relate mainly to payments you receive through your employer, so it only collects tax on employment earnings – it cannot take into account other income or gains that you might have (especially if they are outside the UK) such as rent, bank interest or share dividends. If you do have income like this you may need to file a tax return.
If you come to the UK for employment you will probably become a UK tax resident from the day that you arrive. The UK tax year runs from April 6 to April 5 (for historical reasons) and if you are in the UK for 183 days in a single tax year you will be a UK tax resident for that year.
The whole tax resident / non-resident issue is quite complicated and the latest booklet from HM Revenue & Customs is worth a read. You can download a pdf from their website.
When you become a UK tax resident, you are taxable in the UK on your worldwide income, not just income arising in the UK. For nationals of some countries (the USA is a classic example) you may remain a tax resident in your home country so that your UK earnings are taxable both in the UK and in your home country.
In a case like this, the UK has an extensive network of double taxation agreements – over 100 at the last count – which will ensure that your income is not taxed twice. If you think you need to claim treaty relief in the UK you will certainly need to file a self-assessment tax return and professional advice on this point will most likely be needed.
If you are working in the UK for only a short period, then you may not become tax resident during your stay. In this case, your income arising outside the UK will not become taxable here. However, your employment earnings in the UK will always be taxable here, regardless of your personal tax residence status.
Editor's note: The specifics of UK tax treaties with other nations can be found on the HM Revenue & Customs website. To read about double taxation in simple language, visit Wikipedia here.
Self-employment in the UK
If you come to the UK for an extended stay as part of your own business activity then you should take professional advice, as part or all of your business profits could be taxable in the UK, depending on your tax residence status.
As with employments, the double taxation treaty with your home country should avoid double taxation. If you trade in the UK through a foreign limited company, the company could become taxable in the UK if your activities constitute a UK branch – a 'permanent establishment' in the tax jargon.
Students in the UK
If you have come to the UK to study for an extended period, you are unlikely to have tax issues as your income will probably be small. For tax purposes, scholarships or bursaries from overseas can usually be disregarded, as can family gifts and personal savings accumulated before arrival in the UK.
As with anyone else, you become taxable on worldwide earnings when you are a UK tax resident, so if you have overseas income sources these might be taxable.
If you are Googling around for tax help, you may come across the term 'domicile'. Domicile is different to tax residence – you can be a UK tax resident but domiciled elsewhere. In short, your domicile is your 'true home'.
If you are domiciled outside the UK then it may be possible to exclude foreign earnings and gains from UK income tax (even if you are a UK tax resident) as long as the income is not brought to the UK. This is known as being taxed on the 'remittance basis' and is only available to persons who are domiciled outside the UK.
It is not always advantageous to claim the remittance basis for foreign income and gains, so specialist advice should be sought if you think this applies to you.
UK capital gains tax
A final word – capital gains tax (CGT). Not all countries have the concept of capital gains, so this is often overlooked by those coming to the UK.
If, for example, you have an asset – say Apple Inc. stock – that you acquired at USD 4,000 and you sell it for USD 7,500, then the profit of USD 3,500 is a capital gain. CGT applies to most assets although there are exemptions for cars, your home and a few other specific assets.
CGT applies if you are a UK tax resident and may extend to assets outside the UK depending on your domicile status. CGT can be avoided by careful planning but there are elephant traps for the unwary, so take professional advice.
Cambridge Tax Practice / LB / Expatica
Kieran O'Connor is a director of a small tax consultancy and created a blog to share insight into UK tax law and practice. By cutting out the jargon, he aims to give his readers a better understanding of what is happening in tax administration in the UK, and sometimes other countries too. You can find tax information especially for expats on the Expat FAQs page of the Cambridge Tax Practice website.

Pre-Employment Drug Testing
The majority of all Fortune 500 companies do employee drug testing. It is estimated that 98 percent of Fortune 200 companies have implemented some form of employee drug testing during their recruitment process. Recruiters estimate that about 60 percent of new hires are required to take a drug test today.
Why Do Pre-Employment Drug Testing?
The US Department of Labor has estimated that drug use in the workplace costs employers up to $100 billion dollars annually in lost work time, accidents, health care costs and workers compensation costs.
Drug use affects your bottom line. Workers who do drugs are more likely to change jobs or skip work. The good news is you can put programs in place to make sure your workplace is drug free. A good drug free program includes testing applicants prior to their higher date and doing random drug testing throughout their tenure with your company.
What are Requirements for Pre-Employment Drug Testing ?
Generally these requirements for pre employment drug screening are followed by employers:
- Employers have a written drug testing policy that requires job applicants to be drug-free.
- Written notice of testing is given before the applicant may be tested. Many drug and alcohol testing laws require that job applicants be notified in advance that they may be tested and under what conditions.
- Written notice is given to the applicant that employment drug screening is required before hiring. This may be done through the employment application form or on a specific form given out at the first interview
- The written notice details the type of drug testing that will be carried out and lists the over-the-counter medications that may produce a positive result
- The same testing program should be implemented for all applicants in a particular category or there could be implications of discrimination
Pre-Employment Drug Testing & Discrimination
A company with over 15 employees is subject to the Americans with Disabilities Act, a federal law that protects people with disabilities from discrimination. This Act prohibits pre employment medical examinations before a conditional offer of employment has been made but a test to determine if an applicant is illegally using drugs is specifically exempted from the definition of what constitutes a medical examination. However pre employment alcohol testing is considered an medical examination and can only be conducted after the candidate has been extended a conditional offer of employment.
Discrimination can be implied if an employer tests only certain applicants for a position. An employer cannot pick and choose which applicants for the same position will be tested. However within a company employment drug testing may be required for only certain positions. The company would have to be able to justify this in terms of the job requirements and a written drug policy.

TV Land Awards to Honor 'Glee,' Mel Brooks and Carl Reiner
The Annual TV Land Awards will be taped in Los Angeles on Saturday, April 17, for broadcast the following Sunday, April 25 at 9 PM ET on TV Land. Scheduled to appear are the 'Raymond' gang -- Ray Romano, Brad Garrett, Patricia Heaton, Doris Roberts; two of the 'Angels' -- Cheryl Ladd and Jaclyn Smith; and 'Glee' cast members Jane Lynch, Dianna Agron, Jayma Mays, Jessalyn Gilsig and Kevin McHale.
What You Missed Last Night: Carl Reiner auditions for Snoop Dogg
Laugh-In's Henry Gibson dead at 73
One of the more famous TV credits on that resume was Rowan and Martin's Laugh-In, the influential 60s comedy show that no one under 30 has ever seen. He also appeared in shows like Bewitched, The Beverly Hillbillies, Deep Space Nine, Coach, MacGyver, Evening Shade, Sisters, Newhart, Magnum, P.I., and Simon and Simon.
More recently, TV fans know him from his many appearances as a judge on Boston Legal and his voice work on King of the Hill (he played Bob Jenkins). He was also in several movies, including Magnolia (he played Thurston Howell???), The Nutty Professor, Nashville, The Blues Brothers, Wedding Crashers, and a ton of others.
AOL picks the best TV shows of the 60s
As usual, it's a list that will get the debate going. Shows that without a doubt deserve to be on the list: The Twilight Zone, The Dick Van Dyke Show, Star Trek, The Andy Griffith Show, I Spy, and Bewitched.
Shows that without a doubt don't belong on the list: The Flying Nun, Hogan's Heroes, and The Mod Squad. Sure, I enjoyed those shows when I was younger, but I really don't think they belong in the "best" category (I'll let you debate another show on the list, Batman - great or just "campy" great?)
New TV Land promo will make you sad, angry and maybe a little sick
The promo isn't online so I'll have to describe it. The narrator talks about how times change (with a montage of how phones have evolved over the years), how tastes change (a montage of different foods that people have eaten over the decades), and how we've changed (a montage of different hairstyles you might have had since you were a kid). The point of all this is that things change, but ... change is good! And that's why it's good that TV Land has a bunch of reality shows instead of classic TV shows, because things change and that's where viewers are now in their lives.

Seventeen random thoughts about TV - VIDEOS
2. Two different TV shows in the past week, one a news program that had an analysis of the election and one a design show, used the phrase "do the math." I don't want to do the math. That's why I got into writing.

Six great depictions of writers on TV
Welcome to TV Squad Lists (formerly 'The Five'), a feature where each blogger has a chance to list his or her own rundown of things in television that stand out from the rest, both good and bad.
TV usually gets the writing profession wrong. I've never understood why, since shows and characters are written by writers themselves. Maybe they think they have to dumb it down for the general audience. That's why you have writers like Jessica Fletcher, who just sits down at the typewriter and the words come out fine and she mails it off to her publisher. This happens all the time on television. And have you ever noticed that when you hear the writing that a writer character has done on a show it's almost always terrible? Why is that?
After the jump are six writer characters on TV that were done correctly.
The Five: Great TV couples
Happy Valentine's Day! I hate February 14th.
But it's a fine day for all you
sickening happy lovey-dovey couples to hold hands and skip around your garden and have dirty dirty sex. Below are 5 great TV couples who are probably celebrating the day this way. Well, at least four of them.
1. Rob and Laura Petrie (The Dick Van Dyke Show): Has there ever been a married couple on television that had the chemistry that Dick Van Dyke and Mary Tyler Moore had? Hell, they both even have three names! You could tell they loved each other and cared for each other, and you could imagine they were intimate, even if they did have those damn separate beds.
Six degrees of Joss Whedon
So I was watching an episode of The Dick Van Dyke Show this weekend. What does this have to do with Buffy The Vampire Slayer/Firefly mastermind Joss Whedon? Read on.
The episode I was watching was "Scratch My Car and Die," the one where Rob buys a new sports car and Laura accidentally scratches it while shopping. Watching the credits (I often watch the credits to see who was in an episode and then I run to the comptuer to check the IMdB to see what else they've done, if they're still alive, etc) I noticed that it was written by someone named John Whedon. Now, Whedon isn't the most common name, and he did work in television, so I checked and...yup, it's Joss Whedon's grandfather! He wrote another episode of The Dick Van Dyke Show and also wrote episodes of Leave It To Beaver, The Donna Reed Show, The Wonderful World of Disney, and several episodes of The Andy Griffith Show (though it's hard to figure out how many exactly with the IMdB's odd credits system).
Whedon died in 1991.

Condé Nast Traveller refers to the Hungarian capital's two parts as "conservative Buda and cosmopolitan Pest", with each half on either side of the River Danube. In addition to historic sights such as Heroes' Square, St Stephen's Basilica and the Chain Bridge, Budapest has an abundance of thermal pools and spa sites within the city. The Atrium Fashion Hotel is a central, boutique hotel next to the Grand Boulevard -- one of the city's main thoroughfares.
Prague has "layers of charm and history" and a "beguiling, charismatic streetscape", according to Time Out. The city's top sights include Prague Castle, the 14th-century Charles Bridge and the Old Town Square surrounded by Baroque and Gothic buildings. The Red & Blue Design Hotel has a sleek, modish interior and a top-notch location on the edge of the historical centre. It's a 10-minute walk from the Charles Bridge.
Hand baggage is included and checked luggage can be added from an extra £35 for 15kg, return.
Airport transfers are not included, but it's easy to get from the airport to the city centre by train or bus. The transfer coach picks up and drops off in the centre of each city, and passes through the Hungarian and Czech Republic countryside.

The Sun Even Powers the Bible
It talks in a human voice, fits in the palm of your hands, is biblical and charged by the sun (or a light bulb or charged from a 9 volt DC adapter ((not included)). What is it? A solar powered bible you can listen to over and over again.
The solar powered bible contains all the books of the Bible, old and new Testament, and it speaks in a real human voice. Press the button and go from one chapter to the next. You can even go back and listen to a book if you need to. Fully charged the solar powered bible can play up to ten hours.
Innovative or lazy? What do you think? Is it useful for the hearing impaired? Will this help the illiterate be more religious or will it help the religious become illiterate? Share your thoughts below.

This invention is being used overseas to put the Christian Bible into the hands of illiterate peoples in their own language. For those without a written language no longer does one need to be developed and taught before beginning a Bible translation.

As if we didn't have enough people trying to sell the bible to others.

dont you think we have made religion also as a business!!!!! and GOD as a commodity.
it may be a good idea if used properly but please not to sell Christianity.
religion is one's personal feelings towards the unknown forces of nature. if you want to spread the Good News, better first do it by behaving in a humanly way with other fellow human beings.

This may be a good way for the non-Christian to explore the Bible. I would recommend the New American Standard version as opposed to King James for easier listening.

Wonderful idea! I would love to have one.
