Pet Shop Boys, Neil Tennant and Chris Lowe, have left Parlophone Records after 28 years and signed their forthcoming studio album Electric to Kobalt Label Services in a global deal.
The duo, who signed to Parlophone in 1985, have cloked up 42 Top 30 singles and four No.1s on the label.
Electric was produced by Stuart Price and will be released in June 2013. The band will embark on the "Electric" tour this year, which includes a night at London's O2 Arena on June 18th.
Neil Tennant and Chris Lowe said in a statement: "This is a very exciting point in our careers. We are hugely proud of the new album and are very pleased to be working in conjunction with Kobalt. We'd like to thank everyone we've worked with at Parlophone over the last 28 years both in the UK and abroad.
"When we signed to the label in 1985 we had no idea how long and successful a relationship we were embarking on. However it is also exciting now to commence a new phase working with a new team in a new business structure and we look forward to a creative and equally fulfilling relationship with Kobalt."
Parlophone Label Group is now temporarily independent ahead of Warner Music Group's £487m acquisition of the company, expected to be approved in the summer. PLG was a forced divestment of Universal's £1.2bn buyout of EMI Music last year.

Letter: That day
John R. Williams, M.D., Naples
That day
Re: The famous photo taken on V-J Day in August 1945.
I have seen this famous picture many times over the years, but what brought the memories back was the article in last Sunday's edition, in which it was revealed Jo Johannes, a longtime resident of Naples, was actually in the picture.
I do not know Mrs. Johannes. She and I are exactly the same age, and at that time we both were 20 years old.
The picture shows a sailor kissing a nurse in Times Square with other sailors in the background.
I was in the Navy at that time serving as a corpsman at the Naval Hospital in Brooklyn on the neurosurgical division. We had many casualties from the Pacific with severe brain and spinal-cord injuries. The war seemed like it would never end. The Navy was preparing for an invasion of Japan. There was a warship in dry dock that managed to get through from the Pacific to the Brooklyn Navy Yard for repairs.
That Aug. 15 there was an announcement on the loudspeaker: "Now hear this. The Japanese have surrendered. The war is over!"
Pandemonium broke loose in the hospital. Anyone who was ambulatory, both patients and staff, got dressed and took off for Times Square. I originally thought the nurse was a Navy nurse because she was in uniform. It turns out she was from another hospital.
I will never forget my experience on that day.

Am I alone in enjoying the thrill of victory? i do hope not!
For me, the best part of a wrestling/boxing match is when the winner puts his or her foot on the loser and poses dominantly over him/her.
I have to say that it's pretty erotic when a man does this to a woman. I play fight with my female friends, and love the feeling of my bare foot sinking into a female gut.
Anybody else like to stand on the loser?

Caveats and COIN
The Research Division at the NATO Defense College (NDC) in Rome recently released a noteworthy NDC Forum Paper titled "Counterinsurgency: the challenge for NATO strategy and operations." In eleven chapters, this volume, edited by Dr. Christopher M. Schnaubelt, the Transformation Chair at NDC, covers a broad array of topics in counterinsurgency strategy and operations, focusing primarily on the lessons of Afghanistan: the challenge of security force assistance, the German experience in RC-North, the development of NATO special operations capabilities, among others. In his introduction to the volume, Schnaubelt quotes a Washington Post op-ed by former NATO Secretary-General Jaap de Hoop Scheffer, in which Scheffer argued for "a more comprehensive approach" to NATO's Afghan mission:
[NATO's operations in Afghanistan] are still too much of a patchwork, with individual countries assigned to specific geographic areas. […] Multiple approaches to military operations and development assistance within one mission reduce effectiveness and can strain solidarity. [NATO] should have more common approaches to [its] efforts, including fewer geographic restrictions on where forces can go in support of each other.
Schnaubelt is quick to identify one of NATO's primary strategic challenges concerning the Afghan mission:the alliance continues to be plagued by disagreements over how to define and confront violence in Afghanistan – should NATO prosecute a full-blown COIN campaign or is ISAF merely a stabilization and reconstruction operation? – as well as the relative military contributions by alliance members to the overall effort. In addition to mere force numbers, as Schnaubelt points out, ISAF is NATO's first Article V "mutual defense" operation that, to the dismay of many in the alliance, is hampered by operational restrictions or "caveats" imposed by certain alliance members on their forces. These restrictions prohibit certain ISAF partners from engaging in full-spectrum combat operations across different regional commands. Unsurprisingly, these caveats, fueled by allegations that certain alliance members are unwilling (some of them may well also be unable) to shoulder "their fair share of the burden," have raised the "spectre of a 'two-tier' alliance," according to Schnaubelt.
Needless to say, an outcome in Afghanistan that further cemented divisions between caveated and non-caveated troop-contributing states would be a disaster for the alliance. The Afghan mission, beyond its strategic importance, has also become a test of NATO's credibility as an effective military alliance. Thus, any serious strategic review of the NATO mission Afghanistan must attempt to break down, or at least loosen up significantly, these burdensome national caveats. A removal of these operational restrictions would have two immediate effects. First, it would significantly improve NATO's punch against the various insurgent groups in Afghanistan. Second, it would invigorate a struggling alliance and boost troop morale on the ground. But the key take-away for the political leaders of these "caveated" forces is this: if you want to succeed in Afghanistan and if you want to succeed sooner rather than later, then free your soldiers from their operational straightjackets.

These results suggest that differences exist in the gut microbiota of obese versus lean mice, raising the possibility that the manipulation of gut microbiota could be a useful strategy for regulating energy balance in obese people, says Dr. DiBaise.
Although information on the link between gut microbiota and obesity in human subjects is more limited, the authors present some evidence supporting this connection. One study cited placed 12 obese participants in a weight-loss program for a year, randomly assigning them to either a fat-restricted or carbohydrate-restricted, low-calorie diet. Researchers noted distinct differences between lean and obese participants when they monitored the type and number of bacteria found in participants stool samples before and after the diet changes.
Another study cited followed children from birth to age 7 and analyzed stool samples collected at 6 and 12 months. The children who were normal weight at age 7 had distinctly different bacteria in their samples from those collected from overweight-obese children, suggesting that differences in the composition of the gut microbiota precede overweight-obesity.
Dr. DiBaise says that much more research is needed to clarify a number of issues related to the relationship between the gut microbiota and obesity. Future studies need to establish whether the small changes in caloric extraction seen in recent studies can produce measurable weight differences in humans. Second, researchers need to prove or disprove the possible relationship between the gut microbiota and the regulation of weight.
In particular, it is essential to demonstrate unequivocally whether differences in gut microbiota in obese vers

In this issue of Converging News:
A Golfer's Dream by Ashley Pennington and hannah Moore Cruz
After exploring his golf enthusiasm as part of the staff of the Rawls Course at Texas Tech for two years and deepening his studies on sports and media as a College of Media & Communication graduate student, Kellen Kubasak was excited to intern professionally with the American Junior Golf Association.
Following a weekend-long interview process in Atlanta, Kubasak was chosen as one of 15 communication interns out of 96 candidates. Kubasak said the interview process was extensive and included writing tests, interviews, public speaking, and logistical team-building activities.
Kubasak said he was advised prior to his interview that the AJGA was looking for friendly, outgoing personalities with impressive oral and written communication skills. Going into the unique interview process that involved team-building activities designed to gauge leadership capabilities, Kubasak said being himself put him a step ahead.
"I think my personality in general set me apart," Kubasak said. "I made sure to listen, be outgoing and talk with all of the employees there, too."
With education from his undergrad and grad school at Texas Tech, coupled with media internships with theTexas Tech athletic department and Lubbock Christian University, Kubasak said his experience and education prepared a foundation to help him professionally acclimate to the AJGA.
"All of my internships and classes have helped me learn tremendously," Kubasak said, "and all of it will come into play."
Internships are perfect for building experience and a resume, Kubasak said, adding that students shouldn't give up when applying for internships. Kubasak said he applied to many internships before receiving the AJGA internship.
"Even if you get an unpaid internship, don't let that hold you back," Kubasak said. "Both of my previous internships were unpaid but have given me a lot of the experience I needed to get this one."
Kubasak's internship began May 22 with training in Atlanta. Kubasak said he has enjoyed working with golfers and their parents, traveling and watching golf. He also said he hopes to be hired full-time with the AJGA after his internship is over, and if not, he wants to work in the sports and media industry.

New Freshmen Interest Group by Hannah Moore Cruz
"Studies have shown students who live together and study together do better."
--Marijane Wernsman
The College of Media & Communication converged with University Student Housing to develop a Mass Communications freshmen interest group, a learning community designed to assist a small group of students in their first year of college.
Marijane Wernsman, Ph.D,. and assistant dean for student affairs for the College, is responsible for the College's FIG program. Excited to have this special learning opportunity for mass communications students, Wernsman said she hopes the program will improve students' abilities to learn during their first year of college.
"Studies have shown students who live together and study together do better," she said.
With only 20 students enrolled in the program, Wernsman said she will follow them through the year as she teaches their freshmen seminar class and advises them academically.
Wernsman said students will not only live together, but will be enrolled in four classes together. She said this allows students opportunities to learn academically, as well as professionally, as they learn to network with their peers, staff and faculty.
Students will have the opportunity to listen to special presentations from professionals and faculty in mass communications, go on field trips, and, of course, network, she said. Overall, Wernsman said she hopes the program will help improve students' experiences in the College of Media & Communication as well as help faculty improve their academic relationships with students.
"The more we know students, the more we can help them streamline their degrees," she said.
Kate Lepard Takes New York by Hannah Moore Cruz
A small town girl from Muleshoe, Texas, Kate Lepard, a senior broadcast journalism major, was ready to take on the Big Apple.
Landing an internship for Fox News in New York City, Lepard had the opportunity to meet, visit and work with some of the current leading talent in media.
"The most valuable experience I've had at Fox thus far is definitely the opportunity to meet and get to know so many successful and interesting people in the news industry," said Lepard, referring to Fox News employees such as Bill Hemmer, Martha MacCallum, Megyn Kelly, Lou Dobbs and Juan Williams.
Lepard said her internship has afforded her the opportunity to conduct off-the-record interviews with some of these media professionals to discover what advice they would suggest for helping her become a strong job candidate.
"Never miss an opportunity to learn something new, and always ask questions," Lepard said. "I feel like those are the two most helpful hints I've been given. The news industry is constantly changing, so the more you know, the more marketable you are as a potential employee."
Applying the advice she's been given, combined with the previous education she received at Tech, Lepard said she feels prepared to begin a professional career in journalism.
Lepard said she was hired as a "booking unit intern" for the Fox news shows "America's Newsroom," "Happening Now," and "America Live." Among her responsibilities, Lepard is in charge of greeting and directing guests before interviews, collaborating with another intern to write blog teases for the "Happening Now" blog site, and attending producer pre-show meetings. Lepard said these meetings are the highlight of her day.
"Every day all of the writers, producers, bloggers, bookers, graphics people, etc. gather in the 'war room' to discuss what's coming up on the show," she said. "Megyn Kelly and all of the reporters also join in on the meeting through a conference call so everyone will be on the same page. I love seeing the news team collaborate."

Sports, Science and Research by Hannah Moore Cruz
Glenn Cummins
Gaining attention from researchers at ESPN, Glenn Cummins, Ph.D., assistant professor in electronic media and communications for the College of Media & Communication, has been researching the nature of arousal while consuming sports media.
"I'm looking at it from a structural perspective," Cummins said. "What is it that broadcasters are doing that makes people interested in the game and that make you respond to the game?"
Cummins said he asked subjects to watch a series of football plays, one being highly arousing, with the next less arousing, and then asked subjects to grade their level of excitement from one video clip to the next. Cummins said he is "trying to look at the nature of arousal and the nature of viewer response and how it ebbs and flows throughout a telecast."
Cummins said his research has actually found the opposite of what he was expecting, and the opposite of what a previous theory suggests.
"The theory says that what gets you worked up from a previous event, the next event should feel more arousing because of what you'd just seen, and that's what I was trying to do to begin with," he said. "The problem I found is when I took it to the laboratory to try and test that basic prediction that's been demonstrated over and over again for decades but not in the context of sports. I found the opposite response – that somebody saw something exciting and then they saw something that followed it they'd actually rate it less exciting as opposed to more exciting."
With a few kinks to iron out, Cummins said the next step in his research is in the College's physiological response lab to test if individuals ranking of arousal transfer is really how their body is responding.
"We have a real-life physiology lab down in the basement where we can see how your body responds, but the problem is what people say and what people feel aren't always the same," Cummins said. "Right now I'm just doing all of that with self-report statements and eventually I'll have to do that with physiological data to see, because that's a good way to tell if it's really transferring or is the cognitive evaluation getting in the way."
Testing these theories can benefit media producers as they look for ways to improve the effectiveness of their content, Cummins said. He hopes to put his theories to the test in a more applicable situation.
Congratulations to Department of Public Relations faculty members Lori Boyer, Coy Callison, Trent Seltzer, John Wirtz, and Weiwu Zhang for having papers accepted for presentation at the AEJMC 2010 convention in Denver, Colo. Several of these papers were co-authored with mass communications doctoral students, including Jerod Foster, Prisca Ngondo, Phllip Poe, and Austin Sims.
John Wirtz, Ph.D., has received a top faculty paper award from the Religion and Media Interest Group.

The "Occupy Wall Street" and similar groups should be very careful. As long as they keep in name only, they have the politicians and law enforcement at a "negative" position. They should occupy only the ground under their feet while they should keep marching, only stopping when traffic signals say so.
You must understand that most politicians are attorneys, professional or amateur. Prosecutors and defense attorneys will spend eight to 12 hours a day, six-seven days a week for as long as the courts will permit trying to define the "legal terminology" of the word "it" (they could use Black's Law Dictionary).
The pubic disorder should use "occupy" as a fluid idea, then politicians will have a difficult time. A non-violent idea makes greater changes than violent. Look at Mahatma Gandhi. One man defeated the British Empire at the peak of its power. Sun Tzu's Art of War said victory gained through peace is preferred over war. His 3,000-year-old book is used in our military. Remember, Dr. King moved this nation through peaceful menas.

In 2006, Ravi Zacharias International Ministries (RZIM) held an open forum at the Fox Theater in Atlanta to address the subject: "Has Christianity Failed You?" Tickets were sold for the event and---to the complete surprise of everyone---the event was sold out, with a capacity crowd of over 5,000. People lined up, offering to buy tickets from folks in line for higher prices.
Before the event, an RZIM cameraman walked the streets and asked people if they had rejected the faith they held at one time. One answered that, because of a Christian's rejection of his gay lifestyle, he had done just that. Another answered that she had left her faith because she had fallen into adultery and could never live it down in the church. Others had their own reasons. Some said it was just intellectually untenable in an age of reason. They chose to come to the event to judge if there were adequate answers.
It is estimated that for every one person who writes a letter or attends an event, there are one thousand who agree. If the Atlanta crowd was any indication, the question is real and troubling. Why is it that many live with silent doubt, many leaving the "evangelical fold" for something else? Is there something wrong with the message, the communicator, the hearer...or is it all three? It's time to ask the hard questions of what it means to be a follower of Jesus Christ and why it seems as though God has made it so hard to continue believing. In fact, the son of a prominent U.S. Senator phoned me with that very question: "Why has God made it so hard to believe in Him?" Such skepticism is not just representative of the hostile; it also represents many honest questioners. This book attempts to lay out the response to those within as well as those outside the Christian faith so as to understand what it is we believe and why it is so hard to do so.

"I am a new big fan of Ravi Zacharias!"
Heard him on the radio while channel surfing. Then had to look him up. This was my first introduction to apologetic s and I feel that it really helped me understand my christian faith even though I have been a Christian for a long time. Shared the information with my 30 year old daughter and her husband and they were amazed on the way he presented the information about defending the Christian faith. If you have an i-tunes account there is a lot of free lectures by him and other apologetics Christian leaders.
"Profound Biblical Truth"
It was well written in such a way that it was easy to comprehend and analyze. It was supported very well with truths and illustrations that supported each claim and fact.
"Informative but not graceFULL"
Not what I expected from the title. I enjoyed listening to Dr. Z but really hoped for a more spiritual content. Definitely worth a listen. Comparative theology, historical evidence, and logical orderly of information are all here to learn from.
"Health Wealth and Prosperity doctrine watch out"
This book tackles the false doctrine of health wealth and prosperity and brings the readers or listeners back to the Biblical doctrine and away from Americanized doctrine. Also faces head on the new atheist movement and debunks their theories. Great anointed work. Ravi Zacharias never lets me down!
"A Must-read!"
Provides great insight and inspiration for today's church and individuals, I would recommend adding it to your library and referencing it often.
"Speaks sincerely and directly to real struggles"
Ravi writes from an extensive reservoir of knowledge, experience, and authorities. He respectfully addresses real struggles and concerns many face with the Christian faith. Whatever your world view, this book is a must read and provides a framework from which to access your philosophical approach to life.
"absolutely wonderfdul"
straight forward truth
The character of the church is starkly revealed.
Dr. Zacharias reads it very well and hearing it in the author's voice is priceless.
There is a wealth of insight regarding logically and coherently assessing Christianity, flaws and all.
"Wrong Book For Me"
I can't speak against the book because it may help those who feel that god has abandoned them or that christianity has failed them as a believer. It is not for those who no longer believe the bible to be true. You have to believe that the bible is the inerrant word of god still, but that people and churches have faltered and caused bitterness in you for this book to be of use. You have to believe scripture for this book to help resolidify your faith, which it may very well do for those who believe. If you are like me though, you once believed but studying the scriptures and then looking at the science changed your mind...you are not bitter, no one angered you, god didn't
"Nonsense and Callous Bile"
Honest in place of arrogance. Evidence instead of blindly assuming the bible to be true.
Done research and not made nonsensensical accusations such as "atheism is a religion."
Disappointment and incredulity.
During his introduction, Ravi regales us with a story about his family's Border Collie, GK, named after one of their favourite authors, GK Chesterton. Immediately I was struck by their callous attitude in forcing a member of their family to suffer the ravages of a natural death from cancer rather than put it quietly and peacefully to sleep. Sadly, Ravi takes a similar stance when he addresses the readers in the greater part of this book.
The author attempts to delineate "true" Christianity from the Christianity practiced in some churches today, and blames this for the reason people are leaving it in droves. He won't even entertain the idea that Christianity is false. The superficial saving grace in his book is his call to churches to be more supportive and understanding of those who have fallen away and "sinned" (a vacuous religious concept to begin with). He criticises the liberal media for condemning the Pope's stance unequivocally condemning contraception, asking if they would show compassion to someone who had used a condom and contracted HIV. In doing so, Ravi is denying the human impulse towards pleasure, one that he believes his god bestowed upon us, and is giving tacit support to a Puritanical worldview that has made the AIDS crisis worse. Condoms reduce the rate of HIV transmission, this is an undeniable fact. Why he would lend succour to a malicious jerk who covered up and perpetuated child rape and indirect murder speaks volumes about the author. Perhaps he should write a new book on his own shortcomings and failures as an apologist and evangelical preacher.
Ravi claims that although his god is sovereign, he has also blessed us with free will. Anyone who has read Exodus should know that this is nonsense. A god who would violate Pharoah's free will to shunt himself up onto a pedestal and cause further gratuitous suffering is not only a deity brimming with malfeasance, but has no respect for free will. On a related note, Ravi complains that if one amputee was cured, this would be unfair to all other amputees, and we would demand more evidence and miracles. What, you mean like what allegedly occurred in the Old Testament? This flimsy excuse holds no water, especially since his god is supposedly all-powerful and could never get weary.
Ravi holds his personal experience (a supposed visit from Jesus while he was hospitalized after a suicide attempt). A cursory examination of NDEs, OBEs and similar experiences reveals that the only religious experiences humans experience is based on the religions that they were raised in. Why don't we see Muslims visited by Buddha or Krishna? I do not doubt Ravi's sincerity when he recounts this, but as he concedes, that doesn't prove the existence of his god. I would bet my life that Ravi would not place the same credence that he places in his own experience that he would place on the personal experiences of Muslims, Buddhists and Hindus. And besides, if his god is willing to reveal himself, it would be a simple matter to replicate such revelatory experiences for everyone on the planet. But we don't see this. It is very rare for adults who have been raised in religion to break free of the religion they were brought up in. Capital punishment for apostasy doesn't account for all of this, and the benefits of Christian missions and "charities" often do more harm than good. Myths and edicts about how to deal with "witches" have caused African villages to murder their children. The baggage that burdens Christianity and its teachings often end up doing more harm than good. And as for the bible, I found it quite telling that Zacharias does not mention whether or not he is a biblical literalist or whether some verses were not divinely inspired, in his view. And he doesn't even come close to explaining why we can trust the bible, since it was written by fallible humans, rehashed and manipulated depending on the era and translators. Perhaps simply thinks that the sheer quantity of obfuscation he spews forth will be enough to convince the reader.
He initially attempts to tackle arguments for the validity of theism over naturalism. He immediately falls flat at the starting gate by appealing to the sheer unlikeliness of life arising from random chance, and mentions monkeys randomly mashing keys until they produce the works of Shakespeare. According to him, the chances are too high for it to occur naturally during the alleged age of the universe. What he doesn't realise is that incredibly unlikely things occur every day - every person, every sperm and egg combination, is one in several hundred million. Add the chances of our parents meeting, and the thousands of human generations throughout our 200,000-year history, and the odds are far more unlikely than the "astronomical" odds Ravi mentions.
He also rails against secularism and "relativism", although situational ethics would be a better descriptor for what he is decrying here. Moral differences generally stem from the plurality of upbringings and the lack of complete information available or willing to be considered by parties in a given situation. When information is more detailed and situations and players considered more deeply, concurrence towards a single moral outcome is more likely, no matter who is considering the issue. That is why, for example, support for the right to die has risen considerably in Western countries over the past few decades, even in countries that have a majority of Christians, such as Australia.
In attempting to bolster his case for the truth of Christianity, he mentions William Lane Craig. This is a feeble attempt. Anyone who has seen Craig debate should know that intellectual rigour is not his strong suit. The opposite, in fact. Craig has mentioned several times that if the evidence should go against Christianity and the "internal witness of the holy spirit", the latter should take precedence against the former. Such an apologist, who decries the scientific method as being based on "the shifting sands of evidence and argument" himself uses arguments, and has therefore undermined at least half of his own case. There is no such thing as "reasonable faith", and few demonstrate this better than Craig himself. Baseless claims such as "absence of evidence is not evidence of absence" don't help him either. There's no evidence for Zeus, Thor or the Greek pantheon, and yet we don't see shills like Craig writing long-winded apologetics for them.
Ravi's chapter on prayer is the longest, and perhaps the worst. In this rambling, incoherent pile of flopped justifications, excuses and blame-shifting, Ravi redefines prayer, and what Jesus "really meant" when he said "knock, and the door shall be opened." Prayer isn't supposed to work "instantaneously or magically." Well, then why pray?! It would seem that Ravi doesn't seem to realise that he is making his god out to be a highly skilled huckster, by redefining his promises and covenants to suit himself.
In the final chapter, Ravi arrogantly assumes that anyone who has reached that point has understood that Christianity has not failed them, but people and/or institutions such as the church have. Well, all I have to say about this is that the actions of those who purport to act in god's name reflect either well or poorly on that deity, and any deity who would not clearly make his will and endorsements known to all is responsible for the impressions made by such believers (assuming, of course, that such a deity exists in the first place). Ravi attempts to gloss over the shortcomings of the CEO, using the employees as scapegoats. He rails against Islam and their mighty birth rate (implying that Christians must outbreed and out-brainwash them), and in a further act of incoherence and mental gymnastics, Ravi mentions the declining fish stocks worldwide. We cannot fix a perceived problem by making it worse. Woman's suffrage in the Muslim world is the only way to both stop the tide of Muslim takeover that he fears, and the scythe of overpopulation that will destroy us from within.

Williamsburg Inn Turkey Soup Recipe
4.5 3
This recipe is simple to prepare, and it makes a lot of delicious soup! Our children are on their own now, so I was happy to find that this soup freezes well, too. I put it in individual containers and thaw just as much as I need for quick and easy meals. That's handy when I'm busy braiding wool rugs, oil painting or sewing...or just busy period.
- 1 turkey carcass (from a 12- to 14-pound turkey)
- 4 quarts water
- 3 large onions, finely chopped
- 3 celery ribs, finely chopped
- 2 large carrots, finely chopped
- 1/4 cup uncooked long grain rice
- 1 cup butter, cubed
- 1-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 pint half-and-half cream
- 3 cups diced cooked turkey
- 1/2 teaspoon poultry seasoning, optional
- Salt and pepper to taste
- In large kettle, cook turkey carcass with water to make 3-qt. stock. Remove bones; reserve meat for soup. Strain stock; set aside. In a large saucepan, combine the onions, celery, carrots, rice and 1 qt. of stock. Cook for 20 minutes; set aside.
- In a large soup kettle, melt butter. Stir in flour until smooth. Add cream and remaining 2-qts. stock. Bring to a boil. Cook and stir for 2 minutes or until thickened. Stir in the reserved turkey and vegetable mixture. Season with salt and pepper. Heat through. Yield: 4 to 4-1/2 quarts.

"I really like this soup recipe. I added some spices as I didn't have the carcass to make my broth. Instead I used bullion and poultry seasoning. To smoke it a bit I added some pureed chipolte pepper in adobo sauce (my new favourite flavour enhancer). I would have added a bit more veggies, rice and turkey to have it be a bit meatier. Overall it is a great recipe to make and tweak for your family's tastes!"

As I'm planning out some trips for this year I'm having a hard time saving some vacation days for other things, like visiting family back east or taking an actual vacation where I can relax. How much vacation time do the rest of you use for backpacking vs. other stuff?
Edited by csteutterman on 03/08/2012 13:30:32 MST.
I'm lucky I live in an are where even my weekends can be pretty cool for backpacking (or the outdoors in general). WIthout fail, all my three-day weekends are for some sort of of outdoor activities.This past year, two weeks of my actual vacation time were outdoor related. The other two was meeting my fiancee's family in Germany. This year, I hope to use 3 of the 4 weeks for all outdoor activities. My company shuts down for a week at Christmas. Christmas 2010 went visited relatives back East.2011, we went to Germany. 2012? Big Bend National Park. Never been and I think it looks quite nice.
I am in Paul's same boat. Living in Colorado really is nice but it looks like your from SF so have access to the Sierra's and coastline beauty near by. I find I like to take my vacation in short chunks. Maybe a few hours on a Friday afternoon and get a quick 2.5 day backpack loop somewhere in the state. I have never actually done a backpack of 4+ days, always 2-3 nights. I just find that a lot of short trips give me more pleasure and break up the work rut more than a few big trips.Having said that I definitely daydream about the opportunity some day to take longer thru hikes or at least string a couple sections together for a week long trip.
I look at all my days off.I have 104 weekend days to use. Most years my wife and I go camping in our tent trailer every weekend when I am not backpacking. On the camping trips we do long hikes everyday usually 10 - 15 miles, sometimes more.I have 8 holidays each year to add to the mix above.I have 20 vacation days a year. I try to do 1/2 for backpacking and 1/2 with my wife. We often visit her relatives on those trips and I can usually slip in a couple 3-4 day trips while she visits her family.To me it doesn't matter -- day hikes or overnight trips, as long as I get to do a lot of them. This year I have been doing 1-2 hour hikes nearly everyday during my lunch break in the local mountains. I just got back from a hike up the Desert Skyline Trail, went up 2,000 feet and back down.The goal is 100 full days of hiking each year. Overnights preferred but not required.
Would this include 'sick' days? :)
I use at least half my vacation days.
It used to be that probably about 50% of my vacation time went to backpacking trips, mostly taking off a couple days bookending weekends or holidays to allow for long weekend trips. Now, between various family commitments, house projects and other hobbies/interests, very little of my actual vacation time is being set aside for backpacking trips.Instead, I'm having to get by with shorter, but more frequent 1-2 night weekend trips to hold me over. To aid in this, I've worked out a 9-80 flexible work schedule with my employer, so I get every other Friday off. That has allowed for a little more wiggle room for more ambitious weekend trips or to get in a quick overnighter and still be around the house all day Sunday to work on projects.And like others, I live in very close proximinty to lots of hiking options, so I spend very little of my weekend time driving to or from trailheads. That helps a lot with maximizing my weekends!
I try to get out once a month for a weekend trip, 1-2 nights, sometimes 3-4 nights (which burns 1-2 vacation days) but then will have at least one longer trip each year of 10 days to 2 weeks, occasionally 3. In the end I've used about half of my vacation for backpacking.
without long weekends the long drive locales wouldn't be possible. between backpacking and bicycle touring, i am planning on taking a 10 days vacation time, but i am lucky, i can earn comp time to be used in place of my annual and personal leave.
I use most of my vacation time on bp trips, unless the snow is too deep in the Fall. I use 7 days out of 9-10 for a trip, love to spend time at home as I am away from home all week long because I work out of town. :(Duane
I use about 2/3 of my vacation time for backpacking, plus the odd weekend.Over the last six years most of that time was used for backpacking in the Sierra Nevada or Northern Ontario. My wife and I usually get a weeks vacation in the Caribbean or Cuba, and we live in Canada.
Edited by ChrisW on 03/08/2012 21:00:30 MST.
I have a few weeks on either side of summer this year (Sun-friday backpacking, Saturday in town). Enjoy while I can. Weekends are Sunday and Monday, but for a long trip, requiring several hours on the road, I try to schedule a rest day (plus if something happens to the vehicle, I do not have to call my boss saying I won't be in). Throughout my adult life, I've been lucky to have about a month off for Xmas but family and friends are the focus for those days.Next year, who knows?
I use around 6 to 7 weeks for backpacking usually; not all at one go. Supplemented by weekends and long weekends when things look good (and that principally means the weather in the UK).I spend the rest of my time planning trips :-)
I took 6 1/2 weeks off at the end of September to walk the Bibbulmun Track.5 weeks of that was without pay.Next year I am going to do the AT. At most 1 month will be paid leave.When you gotta hike you just gotta hike.:-)
About 5 weeks per year, with another week for other stuff. Here in Australia, it's normal to get 4 weeks leave per year. My nice employer gives the option of 'buying' extra vacation time. That means at the start of the year I say I want an extra couple of weeks, and they reduce my salary in proportion.JamesMc

Selected as a Choice Outstanding Academic Title 2012 for Biology within the Science and Technology category.
In the face of accelerating extinctions across the globe, what ought we to do? Amid this sea of losses, what is our responsibility? How do we assess the value of nonhuman species? In this clear-spoken, passionate book, naturalist and philosopher Edward L. McCord explores urgent questions about the destruction of species and provides a new framework for appreciating and defending every form of life.
The book draws insights from philosophy, ethics, law, and biology to arrive at a new way of thinking about the value of each species on earth. With meticulous reasoning, McCord demonstrates that the inherent value of species to humanity is intellectual: individual species are phenomena of such intellectual moment—so interesting in their own right—that they rise above other values and merit enduring human embrace. The author discusses the threats other species confront and delineates the challenges involved in creating any kind of public instrument to protect species. No other scholar has advocated on behalf of biodiversity with such eloquence and passion, and none provides greater inspiration to defend nonhuman forms of life.
Edward L. McCord is director of programming and special projects, University Honors College, University of Pittsburgh. He also is director of the university's Yellowstone Field Course and the Allen L. Cook Spring Creek Preserve near Laramie, Wyoming. He lives in Pittsburgh.

Yamaha Xeon only the comfort of rear shock absorbers or sokbreker which feels less solid. Bantingannya a bit hard! Conditions that are felt when sliding on the uneven road surface.

Turing proximity Xeon reporters in Bali makes difficult to calculate fuel consumption. During use, no recharging. Claims factories, gasoline consumption of 38 km per liter has not been proven.
However, just by sipping a premium for their daily activities do not does not matter for the Xeon machine. Yamaha said that, of course better to use gasoline with a higher octane rating or above 90 (or Pertamax Pertamax Plus).
"We've proved thousands of kilometers. Use a premium there is no problem despite the high engine compression ratio," said President Director of PT Yamaha Motor Kencana Indonesia Dyonisius Beti in Nusa Dua, last weekend.

Flourishing arts in Dartington
Posted: January 14, 2014|
IN ITS heyday Dartington College of Arts was a thriving educational establishment which brought many top performers from the capital down to the South West to pass on their immense experience.
That was once, perhaps, they had decided to step aside from the punishing schedule of orchestral playing with its frequent UK and overseas tours.
While the college as such is no longer, the spirit lives on in the number of those instrumentalists who now populate some of the top leading local ensembles, where they can once more bring their expertise to bear.
In fact there remains a real bond between many of these players, as can be seen by the number of small chamber outfits organised by the guiding hand of Totnes-based Vicky Evans.
Related content
The Pressenda Ensemble, for example, which gives its next concert on Sunday, January 26 in St John's Church, Bridgetown, Totnes at 3pm, is led by Malcolm Latchem.
He was associated with London's Academy of St Martin in the Fields for many years. The ensemble takes its name from Malcolm's violin, which has been his constant companion for some 60 years of music-making.
Their programme features music by Telemann, Handel, Walton, Verdi, Piazzolla, and Hildegard of Bingen, and the afternoon's guest soloist will be Pam Canter – cellist Vicky Evans's recorder-playing sister.
IF YOU'RE more into G and S than chamber music, and are prepared for a slightly longer drive, then Plymouth Gilbert and Sullivan Fellowship, currently working towards their May production of Yeomen of the Guard, returns to Truro's Hall for Cornwall the same afternoon.
The singers will be again joined on stage by the Band of HM Royal Marine, Plymouth. The concert, entitled Around the World in 80 Minutes, was a great success first-time round, and will be raising funds for the RNLI.
The performance is at the slightly earlier start-time of 2.30pm.
HOT off the press is news of the European Union Chamber Orchestra's forthcoming evening visit to the Great Hall, Dartington, on April 16.
Directed by Hans-Peter Hofmann, with trumpet-soloist Crispian Steele-Perkins, the concert features music by Handel, Mozart and Haydn.
Full details and booking should be available shortly.
IN THE meantime, there's a return visit to the area from internationally-acclaimed classical guitarist Craig Ogden, who plays at Calstock's Old Chapel on January 31 – full information will appear here next week.
Further details of the concerts mentioned on this page can be found online at Plymouth Classical Music Concert Diary, and at their respective websites, where available.

|Painting, Oil on panel, 22.5x40 cm
|Origin: Germany, late 15th - first third of the 16th century
This is one of twelve allegorical compositions by Wertinger depicting the different months of the year, in this case October . Such subjects allowed the artist to paint genre scenes or landscapes with figures. Here the hilly Bavarian landscape with its fast-flowing river serves as a background against for peasants feasting, dancing and fighting as they mark the end of the summer drudgery and the bringing in of the harvest. Behind them is a procession with banners heading for the gaily decorated church, the tiny figures depicted in space with great simplicity. The light and bright colouring emphasises the joyous mood. Such works were the direct forerunners on the road to the genre scenes of the 17th century. It is possible that the series of paintings formed part of an interior.

White Widow From Private Dealer (DleafSmoke)
White Widow can knock you out if you aren't careful! Dleafsmoke loved this strain! –Tokeahontas
This bud is amazing. It is heavily frosted over with a pale green undertone. The hairs are almost hidden but pale orange and caked against the bud. The trim job was flawless and obviously done by hand with great care. All the nugs were a consistent color with the smallest weighing 1.7 grams. Great bag appeal definitely a "fire" strain.
Very unique smell. Without opening the bag it easily danks up a room. The smell starts off like a heavy hand pressed hash but quickly turns into a sour mess that almost makes you pull away from the bag. I love this smell but it can be very overpowering if not contained in a glass jar. Definitely not a stealthy thing to smoke but worth it.
Much like the smell, the taste has a very sour tone to it. It is very clean on both the inhale and exhale, leaving my chest with the same feeling of expansion as a small dab. This is some truly impressive bud that leaves my mouth slightly dry and wanting more.
The buzz on this bud was almost abusive. I found myself in a very deep body high within 20 minutes of a session that would normally put me to sleep. However, the sativa kick kept me totally alert and oddly focused… on gaming.
Smoking 3-4 small bowls was enough to get me through most of my night (around 4 hours after work) before having a bedtime session.
I really enjoyed White Widow. It had some incredibly heavy medicating qualities I rarely find while keeping me awake and capable. I would love to make some Widow oil so lets hope I can get my hands on some more soon. –Dleafsmoke

Despite, or maybe because of, his enormous schedule of exhibitions interspersed with the intense emotional and intellectual paroxysms of the Piglet, Munch had found time to paint the originals of ten of his enduring masterpieces (40) during the strange hallucinogenic period, which ended with the first of his many exhibitions of the group of paintings that was to become the Frieze of Life (*). A modest show in a rented second-floor space in Unter den Linden showed a large part of the 'Love' section of the Frieze.
It started with The Voice showing the call of love on the shores of Åasgardstrand. Next the awakening of physical love in The Kiss, the pain of love in Vampire and the mystery of sex in Madonna, after which Jealousy leads finally to despair, The Scream.
All year he had been striving towards the final painting, developing the composition. In September, Norway called him home to paint. He wrote how the visionary experience of The Scream came to him:
I went along the road with two friends
The sun set
Suddenly the sky became bloodand I felt the breath of sadness
A tearing pain beneath my heart
I stoppedleaned against the fencedeathly tired
Clouds over the fjord of blood dripped reeking with blood
My friends went on but I just stood trembling with an open wound
in my breast trembling with anxiety I heard a huge extraordinary
scream pass through nature. (41)
The experience came to him high up on Ekeberg at sunset. Ekeberg is to the east of Oslo. It is the only point from which one can look across and see the city Munch now hated, spread across the water, as Christ saw the city spread before Him from a high place, when the Devil tempted Him. What looks like a road in the painting was in fact a path, and the railing is a safety railing, though it looks like a bridge. It does not look very different today, if one blanks out the industry round the docks the same silhouette of Oslo can be seen bulging out. (42)
The main slaughterhouse for the city was up there, and so was Gaustad, the city's madhouse, in which Laura had been incarcerated. He had probably gone up there to visit her; there was no other discernible reason. The screams of the animals being slaughtered in combination with the screams of the insane were reported to be a terrible thing to hear.
If every self-portrait is a portrait of the soul to some degree, The Scream (43) was the portrait of the soul stripped as far from the visible as possiblethe image on the reverse, the hidden side of the eyeball as Munch looked into himself. 'We paint souls'. It has come to be seen as a painting of the dilemma of modern man, a visualization of Nietzsche's cry, 'God is dead, and we have nothing to replace him.' Another interpretation is that The Scream is the fundamental starting point for the creative artist. It is the panic-chaos that is the source and necessity of all creative inspiration. Strindberg's interpretation was, 'A scream of fear just as nature, turning red from wrath, prepares to speak before the storm and thunder, to the bewildered little creatures who, without resembling them in the least, imagine themselves to be gods.' (44)
It is often linked with Schopenhauer's concept of dread. Writing in Philosophie der Kunst, Schopenhauer ponders the degree of expressiveness that a work of art can achieve and he sets the challenge for pictorial art to reproduce a scream. But munch specifically stated that he did not come across Schopenhauer until much later in his life and there seems no reason why he should want to mislead over this.
What is certain is that as a symbol it generously fulfils Munch's requirement, if not the requirement of the Symbolisits: it is capable of manifold, almost infinite interpretations. The last words can be left to him: 'And for several years I was almost madthat was the time when the terror of insanity reared up its twisted head. You know my picture, The Scream? I was being stretched to the limitnature was screaming in my bloodI was at breaking point . . . You know my pictures, you know it allyou know I felt it all. After that I gave up hope ever of being able to love again.' (45)

Some look as if the scream is an exhalation, some an inhalation. It is disputed which is the original version.

Posted by Contour Living on May 31, 2013
CHARLOTTE (September 30, 2010) - Contour Products ™, a brand leader in the sleep, comfort and support industry, is introducing its next generation answer to the popular Contour CPAP Pillow, which provides CPAP therapy patients with a choice in pillow surfaces in addition to ensuring that they sleep comfortably throughout the night. "We're pleased to offer this 2-in-1 pillow to CPAP patients, a group of people who often feel as though they have few options," said Scott Davis, President of Contour Products™. "Although this pillow was designed specifically for CPAP users, it's comfortable enough for everyone." The updated patented design of the Contour CPAPmax Pillow still features pressure-free zones that accommodate any respiratory mask for improved patient comfort, reduced mask shifting and leaks as well as greater freedom of movement during the night.
The pillow's unique dual-sided construction called for a creative approach to designing the product. "We wanted to include memory foam and fiberfill as options for CPAP patients, but also needed to maintain the pillow's structure so that the pressure-free zones hold up underneath the weight of the user's head," said Keith Coponi, Contour's product designer. "So we kept the conventional foam core to provide edge stability and we've sewn fiberfill into the cover to offer the traditional feel that many people prefer." The end result is a pillow that provides patients with the support and mask accommodation that they need without compromising the comfort they want.
Aside from its dual-sided construction, the Contour CPAPmax Pillow boasts numerous upgraded features. Ventilated foam offers coolness and breathability and reduces heat and humidity build-up, a common complaint among CPAP users. A center area has been molded into the pillow's design so that patients can see where to properly position their heads to improve posture and airway alignment in the back sleeping position. A broader landing area exists on the pillow's surface between its center and pressure-free zones, which better accommodates side sleepers and larger individuals. The pillow's patent pending Ergo-Flex design forms to the user's shape to ensure proper alignment and orthopedic support for the head and neck.
In keeping with the theme of options for the CPAP therapy patient, the Contour CPAPmax Pillow's cover is also dual-sided. One side is made of breathable 3-D Mesh material and works in combination with the ventilated foam to provide a cool layer of moisture and humidity reduction around and underneath the user's head. The other side features Micro-Pillow textured fabric, providing a soft, comfortable sleeping surface. A thick layer of fiberfill has been sewn into this side of the cover to provide the traditional comfort and feel that so many people have come to expect from a pillow.
The original Contour CPAP Pillow features that addressed key issues affecting patient compliance have all been carried over to this next generation design. These include the pressure-free zones, ergonomic shape, shoulder groove and inclined forehead area.
