TWO GAMES into his return to the big club, Tye McGinn has mapped out the Flyers' escape route from the Metropolitan Division cellar.
Take your beatings in front of the net, score a goal. Take your beatings again, score another goal. Two games, three goals, or 30 percent of the team's scoring this season. No pain. No gain. And . . . well, you get the idea.
"It's what I've always done," he said after practice yesterday. "Try to get to those dirty areas. Try to make the players around me better. That makes me better as well."
It is reflective of the Flyers' 1-6 start that their greatest beacon of offense is the 23-year-old McGinn, who was discarded early in training camp by former coach Peter Laviolette, either due to misjudgment of the 6-2 winger's abilities or of those already in the Flyers' dressing room.

"I could have killed myself," Abdul, 46, tells Ladies' Home Journal in its June issue. "Withdrawal – it's the worst thing."
Abdul says she checked herself into the La Costa Resort and Spa, in Carlsbad, Calif., last Thanksgiving to help beat her use of medication. "I was freezing cold, then sweating hot, then chattering and in so much pain, it was excruciating," she says. "But at my very core, I did not like existing the way I had been."
After taking medication to combat pain from injuries that happened during her grueling years as a dancer – beginning with a back injury when she was 17 and including a neck injury sustained in a plane crash in 1993 – the American Idol judge says, "I'd been working nonstop," and her desire to carry on with her work led her to take more pain pills.
"I'm an old school professional," Abdul says of her "Never let them see you sweat" credo.
By 2005, Abdul was diagnosed with reflex sympathetic dystrophy syndrome, a chronic condition that resulted in debilitating pain. As a result, she wore a pain patch and took nerve medication and, occasionally, a muscle relaxant. The combo made her "get weird," she says.
Thanks to her 15th surgery, yoga and spiritual workshops, she says she feels 96 percent better. Now more comfortable in her role on Idol, Abdul says she still has some issues with Cowell. "He's like the brother I never had – or wanted," she says. "From day one, Simon and I have had a love-hate relationship"
As for her feelings toward new judge Kara DioGuardi? "It's a boys' club no more. Now, it's a sisterhood with Kara, and we're having a blast," says Abdul.
On Wednesday's show, Abdul is expected to perform her new single "I'm Just (Here for the Music)," which Ryan Seacrest premiered on his KIIS-FM radio show Tuesday.

Every week, teenagers around the country tune in to Gossip Girl to see Taylor Momsen play Jenny Humphrey – a high school rebel with requisite teen angst. But just to be clear: Momsen says she's hardly a typical 16-year-old in real life.
"I live a very adult life," the high school graduate (she got her diploma two years early!) tells Teen Vogue in the September issue, hitting stands August 4. "What am I going to do, hang out with high school kids? I just can't relate to what they talk about – it seems so petty."
And that includes high school boys. Momsen, who claims to have been in "lots of relationships," admits that she could never date someone her own age. "Boys are so much less mature than girls as it is," she explains. "I would eat a boy my age alive."
Instead, Momsen is eschewing the idea of a traditional college education, opting instead to take a few classes online, sing in her band, Pretty Reckless, and act, of course.
"I'm an artist; I'm not going to use trigonometry," she says matter-of-factly. "For most people college is a place where you learn about yourself, and I feel like I'm doing that already. I'm already independent."
But what about college friends? "I have such trust complexes," Momsen confesses. "I'm close to like, two people."
Still, all her insecurities seem to fade away when she steps in front of a crowd to sing her music. Having spent most of her life in front of a camera (Momsen began modeling at age 2), she's used to the spotlight, and doesn't mind if her Gossip Girl fans don't understand her rock star persona or her new look.
"I'm pretty, but I'm not, like, a 'pretty girl,' " she says, adding that she modeled her new 'do on a Joan Jett photo. "I know people were a little, um, taken aback. But it wasn't me that changed – it was just that I decided to start being myself."

Lycoming/Clinton's Mental Health Services is able to maintain current levels of service despite the zero-percent increase of allocations from the Department of Public Welfare for 2013-14, said Deborah Duffy, county Mental Health/Intellectual Disabilities administrator at Wednesday's Lycoming/Clinton Joinder Board meeting.
However, that zero-percent increase also means there won't be an expansion of services or creation of new services to meet emerging needs, Duffy added.
"These are baseline services," she said.
There is a significant need for psychiatric resources in the community, not only because of funding issues, but difficulty in recruiting psychiatrists, she said.
The agency faces a chronic lack of state funding as there hasn't been an increase in mental health funding in over a decade. Some years, those services are even hit with a reduction, and it's difficult to maintain services as costs increase, she said.
"It appears that increased funding for mental health services is not a priority as Pennsylvania develops its annual budget," Duffy said.
As part of the joinder's state fiscal year 2012-13 final budget report, all expenses were met with the revenue received, she said. The budgets of fiscal year 2012-13 and 2013-14 are essentially the same, she said.
Costs in the Early Intervention budget are down because of staff retirements.
The joinder budgeted for a new mental health caseworker position who will interact with criminal justice teams in Lycoming and Clinton counties, Duffy said.
Some hurdles loom in the coming months for Lycoming County Children and Youth, as a federal review of the state's adoption and foster care analysis and reporting system is coming next June, said Mark Egly, county Children and Youth Services administrator.
The purpose is to ensure all agencies are collecting, classifying and reporting cases correctly to the Department of Health and Human Services, Egly said. All 67 counties in the state must do this.
Currently, Lycoming County's Children and Youth case management system they developed is used by Clinton, Montour and Sullivan counties. This is where all the data goes which has to meet federal requirements, Egly said.
"Our system works very well in Lycoming County and the other counties," joinder Solicitor Charles F. Greevy III said.
Proposed state legislation may add an extra layer to the process. Because of the Jerry Sandusky child sex abuse case, several proposed bills deal with child abuse definitions and reporting requirements, and if passed, would result in an expanded population under those definitions, Egly said. This means additional data would need to be collected, but he won't know which data until its passage.
However, the federal review timeline doesn't align with the legislations' passage as initial documents are due by Nov. 11. If the legislation is passed, it may cause the agency to revise data already submitted by that point.
While Egly said he is supportive of some of the proposed bills, if passed, it would require additional resources because Human Services already received budgetary cuts.
"They want us to do more with less," Egly said. Some of the legislators "don't understand the bills' effects," he said. "It may fix one problem, and create three others." He said he and others are working to educate the legislators on these implications.

"There's something nice about being home for the holidays and out of the public eye," said an emotional Teresa Giudice, who faces possible jail time along with her husband, Joe, after pleading guilty to fraud charges. "It's all just hanging over us."
"To the haters and the ones who love us," Joe said in a toast to his wife. "Who cares?"
Melissa Gorga and husband Joe, who sold their mansion and are now "shacking it up in a rental" until their new one is completed, continued to reach out to Giudice after last year's family war.
"Anything you need?" Joe asked his sister. "I can't imagine what they're going through. I don't like to go to traffic court."
The Gorgas enjoyed a white Christmas with their children, with Joe even getting his tongue momentarily stuck to a pole like in the classic holiday movie A Christmas Story.
The extended Giudice family held a "cousins" Christmas dinner, and in addition to gag gifts (which fittingly included Teresa receiving a dictionary), Kathy Wakile and sister Rosie returned to the fold.
"You have to stay positive," Rosie said about Teresa. "If not, you could crumble very easily."
Just ask Dina Manzo.
"Christmas is my least favorite holiday ... I've never had a good one," said Manzo. "I'm learning I can't control every situation ... sometimes just give it up to God."
Manzo, whose daughter, Lexi, was accepted to college, said, "When I pictured myself 40-something, I didn't expect to be starting over. What I'm getting for Christmas this year is a bundle of divorce therapy sessions ... and, hopefully, a couple of Percocets."
Nicole Napolitano got a wine bottle opener from boyfriend Bobby in front of her teasing mother, appropriately named Santa.
"I don't consider myself a materialistic person, but a Christmas gift says a lot about a person," said Napolitano.
Her twin, Teresa Aprea, and her husband, Rino, celebrated by teaching their 17-year-old son, Giovanni, the ropes of their restaurant business, down to cooking pasta the right way.
"You learn the system from the ground up," said Rino.
"I Do Cry Myself to Sleep"But, in the end, it was the Giudices, who got their daughters a puppy, who were simply trying to stay grounded.
"I'm glad I have such a strong wife ... one who doesn't cry all the time," said Joe. "I wouldn't even want to come home."
"I do cry myself to sleep sometimes," said Teresa, adding, "This will not be our last Christmas together."
The Real Housewives of New Jersey airs Sundays (8 p.m. ET) on Bravo.

|Here are some details about my project:
|Funky, Whimsical, Casual
What materials did you use? Double side print quilted fabric, 18 inch double zipper, bias tape, thread, PVC pipe
What are you most proud of? I could not find a sturdy 16 inch zipper so I altered the top closure to use an 18 inch double zipper. I've never installed one before and had no instructions. I reinforced the stitching in many areas both inside and out and added stabilzing seams to the straps. I had to trim some of the pieces to accomodate the alterations and it came out just fine.
What advice would you give someone starting this project? Double, even triple, stitch main seams. If you use a double zipper center it on the length of the top seam and make sure you fold under the edges before sewing in the zipper. Finish the ends of the handle sleeves to ease the insert of the PVC pipe and allow the straps to move without stressing those ends. Fold over the double print fabric to finish the tops of the pockets. Add more pockets if you like. You may want to add a large snap closure on the zipper tabs to accomodate packing it empty. You may want to add some velcro to the outside pockets to help keep things in. It is completely washable and can be machine dried with the PVC pipe in place. You can line dry if you prefer. You can even remove the straps and PVC pipe to launder if you like.
Jean, absolutely love your weekend bag - the material is gorgeous and it would be one of a kind. Thank you for the tips that you put in - especially about the washing of it and what you did to put it all together.
You're welcome Beth. I'm going to check with my friend about the pattern. If I can I'll post the dimensions for making it.
I love the fabric! It looks great!
Thx - First time I"ve used pre-quilted fabric. It feels like "cheating'!
This is awesome! I would certainly make one if you add the dimensions from your friend. Looks great!
Love it! Were you able to get the dimensions? Can u give us a little tute on assembly? Thanks
Thanks! My friend will be visiting soon. I hope to pin down the details then. Perhaps after the 1st of the year. Just now everything is Christmas :D

If you do the crime, you could be required to not only do the time but to pay for the privilege under a bill forwarded to Gov. George W. Bush by lawmakers.
The bill would allow judges to require those convicted of misdemeanor offenses to pay up to $25 a day to reimburse counties for the cost of jailing them.
Before ordering payments, judges would take into account the convicted person's ability to pay, said Sen. Jeff Wentworth, sponsor of the measure.
"Not every inmate would be charged this - only those deemed by a judge to be able to afford to pay it. Most county inmates will not pay anything at all," said Wentworth, R-San Antonio.
Potter County Sheriff Jimmy Don Boydston said the county's most recent calculation on prisoner costs is $42.19 a day.
"I like the idea and they ought to pay," said Boydston, adding that the Potter County Commissioners Court passed a resolution supporting the measure.
But like Wentworth, Boydston said few county inmates will actually be able to pay. Most prisoners have court-appointed lawyers and are also given the indigent package containing such items as toothpaste because they are poor.
Randall County Chief Deputy Joel Richardson estimated Randall County Jail costs at about $37 per day.
Many jailed on misdemeanor convictions there can pay, he said, but he does not expect the amount brought in to be large.
Fines that are assessed do not go toward jailing costs, he said, but go into the county's general fund, while court cost assessments are divided up in varying ways.
Senators gave the bill its final legislative OK Tuesday, with a 21-7 vote to concur in House amendments to the measure.

Down the Stream of Starsby Jeffrey A. Carver
A great interstellar migration has begun, down the gateway known as the starstream. Remnant of the Betelgeuse supernova, the starstream is a grand, ethereal highway deep into the Milky Way. It is also a living entity: born of the merged souls of the once-living star and the other beings who died in its creation. Who could have predicted the wonders of the starstream, or the perils it unleashed? Among the perils is a terrifying race known as the Throgs--shadowy beings that live in the n-space of the starstream. Entire worlds have died, destroyed by the Throgs. But life goes on, and colonists continue to settle new worlds. Colony-bound aboard the starship Charity are one Claudi Melnik, a child of uncommon talents--and an AI named Jeaves, who has his own interest in an encounter with Throgs. When the unthinkable occurs, Claudi must face alone the challenge from beyond space and time. And no one, not even Jeaves, could have predicted the final confrontation, or imagined where unexpected friendship would be found. DOWN THE STREAM OF STARS, triumphant sequel to the bestselling FROM A CHANGELING STAR, is a daring journey across the gulf between human and alien, to the heart of consciousness itself.
Dragon Riggerby Jeffrey A. Carver
This is a part of a science fiction series featuring dragons who sail the stars
Dragon Riggerby Jeffrey A. Carver
Legends of a subjective reality in the hyperspace Flux, where dragons combat stray riggers, have existed since the rigger pilots began their navigations. But Jael LeBrae discovered legend is real enough in the Flux, when she met Highwing, a dragon in mortal battle with the evil creature Tar-skel, known as the Nail of Strength. Now Jael finds herself thrust back into the battle again, but this time with a much reduced band of dragons. Tar-skel is expanding his dominion beyond the dragon universe and the fate of all humanity now rests on the outcome.
Dragons in the Starsby Jeffrey A. Carver
Jael LeBrae, a young female star rigger, rebels against an abusive ship's master and dares to take "the mountain route" through a region of hyperspace where legend has it that dragons dwell. But no one believes that real dragons lurk in the mountains, ready to duel unwary riggers ... until dragons actually appear in the night sky of the Flux, challenging Jael to a fight to the death. Help appears when a dragon named Highwing befriends the lonely rigger--but only afterward does Jael realize that she has been caught up in an ancient battle of good and evil, her own appearance foretold by an age-old prophecy. Upon Jael's return to the dragon realm she finds her friend Highwing sentenced to death for his acts of kindness, and her own life declared forfeit if she should try to intervene. But intervene she must, for the sake of a friend who risked his life to save hers.
From a Changeling Starby Jeffrey A. Carver
Across the galaxy, tensions are rising between the authoritarian Tandesko Triune and the free-marketeers of the Auricle Alliance. Nevertheless, scientists of both sides have come together in Project Starmuse, to observe the giant star Betelgeuse as it goes supernova. At the space station imbedded inside the roiling star, the team anxiously awaits the return of the one man essential to the success of the project. On Kantano's World, astronomer Willard Ruskin must discover why someone has infected him with nano-agents--artificially intelligent, microscopic computers, which alter his appearance, his memory, his very DNA. Drawn into a conflict from which not even death will free him, Ruskin must find a way to reach Betelgeuse before his enemies sabotage Starmuse...and humankind's future among the stars. A harrowing journey from inside the human cell--to the mind of a dying star.

No sooner has he survived a harrowing escape from Shipworld than he and his eclectic band of aliens find themselves struggling to survive beneath the waves of a distant ocean world. They quickly discover they are not alone. A race of deep-sea humanoid amphibians, the Neri, are in trouble of their own. Long under attack by beings from the surface, they now face an even greater peril from the seafloor depths, a powerful force known as the Maw of the Abyss. If Bandicut cannot solve the riddle of the Maw, the Neri's beleaguered world will die. And Bandicut and his friends will die with it.

John Bandicut must help this strange disembodied alien, knowing that humanity's very existence rides on the result. He has to break all the rules and sacrifice everything he has ever known or loved to prevent a cataclysm that neither he nor any human can possibly detect.

Why Susan Powell's father won't give up searching for his beloved daughter even though police stopped long ago because he can't give up hope that she's still alive
- Susan Cox Powell vanished from the family home in Salt Lake City in the middle of the night in 2009
- Charlie Cox has always suspected her husband Josh was responsible
- Josh Powell set fire to his home, killing himself and his two sons in 2012
- Cox retired from his job to spend the rest of his days looking for Susan
The father of missing Utah woman Susan Powell - who has been missing since 2009 - is determined to keep looking for his daughter even though police have given up, and still has hope she may be alive, it emerged today.
Chuck Cox, from Oregon, has now dedicated his life to finding his daughter and spends most of his days traveling along Interstate 84 - where he believes Josh Powell may have disposed of her body - and following up tips.
He retired from his job as a veteran crash investigator with the Federal Aviation Administration so he could spend his days searching.
His experience tells him his daughter - who was just 28-years-old when she disappeared - is dead, but the father in him dearly wants to believe she is alive.
Grieving: Mrs Powell's parents Chuck and Judy Cox outside their home after their grandsons' death. Chuck said he will not stop searching for his daughter
Missing: Susan Powell vanished from the couple's Utah home in 2009. She had said she feared her husband
Remembrance: Chuck and Judy Cox, left, are joined by Susan's sister Denise Cox, right, and her fiancé, Andrew Olsen, at Woodbine Cemetery in Puyallup, where Susan's sons Charlie and Braden Powell are buried
Susan Powell was last seen at her home on December 6, 2009. Her husband Josh took their two sons on an impromptu camping trip even though it was mid winter and freezing temperatures.
He was later named a person of interest but was never arrested in the case. Cox strongly believed he was responsible for the disappearance of Susan and begged police to arrest Josh.
But they never did, and three years later during a supervised visit with his sons, Josh took an axe to them and killed them before setting his Washington home on fire, killing all three of them.
His brother has since committed suicide and his father is currently serving time in jail for voyeurism. Cox believes that all three of them had a hand in Susan's disappearance.
Due to the stress of the ordeal, Cox has lost 60 pounds. It has also taken its toll on his relationship with his wife and remaining daughters who want him to give up.
'If it were up to me, I'd pack up and be gone. I'd buy a camper and stay on the road until I found her,' he told the LA Times. 'I tell my daughters I love them, but that I'm going to find Susan. I'm not going to give up on her. I can't.'
One of his daughters Denise Olsen, 34, sometimes helps her dad on his searches and explains how - even four years later - her sister's disappearance still has a heavy effect on him.
Piling on the pressure: In newly-released tapes, Josh Powell evaded questions from the police the day after his wife Susan disappeared in 2009
Family tragedy: Susan Cox Powell, pictured with her sons Charlie and Braden, disappeared in 2009. Her husband Josh killed himself and their sons in 2012
'After losing Susan, he's been a lot more open and understanding,' she said. 'But every time he talks of not stopping until he finds her, his eyes tear up. And you just have to change the subject.'
Cox is getting no help from police - they stopped their search for Susan in May announcing they had run out of leads and had no choice but to wait for new information.
This frustrates him greatly as he believes they are holding on to vital evidence which could help him finally find his daughter.
Cox is considering suing West Valley City police because they refuse to
release case files and have treated him like he is a 'meddling parent
rather than a veteran investigator', he said.
'I was the victim's father, a parent. The idea was, "We can't trust him. He's a civilian, not
capable of grasping the intricacies of police work". In reality, I was a
veteran investigator.
'But I wasn't a cop. I didn't carry a gun. I
understood why they didn't include me. They had to do the investigation.
But their look always said, "You're not one of us".'
Devoted: Cox is not ready to give up. He has had no satisfaction of a conviction for either his daughter or grandsons and has not had the closure of a funeral. So he continues to spend his days searching and hoping
Explosion: Josh Powell set his home on fire, killing himself and his two sons in 2012
Mike Powell - no relation - a deputy police chief in West Valley City, explained their decision to distance him to the LA Times.
'Just because he was an FAA investigator
doesn't make him part of this investigation. It wasn't
prudent to tell him everything that was going on,' he said.
'There are aspects to this case that are not for public consumption. We have to respect the privacy of certain individuals.'
Cox has turned his home in Puyallup into his headquarters where he looks through case files, works on tips from the public and writes his blog. He is considering getting a cadaver dog to help him in his search.
His blogs also encourage women with abusive husbands to get help.
And as he searches, he still speaks of Susan like she is alive.
'She's a very happy person, the kind
who'd find a roomful of manure and say all this means is there's got to
be a pony in here somewhere,' he said, using the present tense.
Cox is not ready to give up. He has had no satisfaction of a conviction for either his daughter or grandsons and has not had the closure of a funeral. So he continues to spend his days searching and hoping.

Which are the best and worst KQ games, and why?
173 Comments - Linear Discussion: Classic Style
See, all of this will be settled if Tell Tale releases a numbered next game, hmmmm??
Is it 8 or 9??? THIS IS A BIG DEAL.
The official collection "King's Quest 7+8", includes "King's Quest VIII", developed by Sierra, published by Activision, released through GOG.com services;
I'm pretty sure GoG designed those backgrounds, though, as they do for all the extras for the games they have available.
The backgrounds are actually pretty old... They go back to old magazine advertisements and the KQ8 Theme Pack (IIRC)...
GoG apparently formatted them into higher res backgrounds though.
Activision must have given them the masters though...
Also GOG has said in the past when questioned, why they didn't release all the SQ or KQ games in one collection, that the publishers themselves decide on the collections (GOG just releases them). That is also one of the reasons why they haven't been able to get permission to include some of the 'expansion' material to some games, such as Privateer. They had to get special permission from the creators of Broken Sword to continue including the originals versions of BS1 and 2 as bonuses, when they added the special editions.
Some series aren't even sold in collections, and sold individually.
Apparently the publishers also have impact on the decision for pricing as well... Which is why some games cost $10 or more...
So basically the companies decide on the collections (or even to release the games individually), and the pricing... I guess it allows the companies to make a little extra on the royalties...
Here is Ken Williams own website;
Although I think some of Ken's personal reliability is thrown out the window, when he calls The Silver Lining, King's Quest IX, and lists it as the next game in the series (though to give benefit of the doubt, its possible that someone else maintains his website, he just has put his name on it, but hasn't actually looked at all the content). Though within the forums, he does short hand to KQ8, or use King's Quest 8 quite a bit. What little I've looked through the archives.
Mark Seibert, the co-producer of KQ8 also calls the game King's Quest VIII;
Now if you go back to the primary sources (as credible historians do), the original material made during development and little after, from around circa (1995-1999), such as Roberta Williams interviews, as well as Interaction magazine, the various King's Quest Collections, some of the Sierra catalogs, you also find that Roberta Williams consistently called it King's Quest VII or King's Quest 8. The box itself and manual inside that box, also pointed out that it was the eigth game in the series. The manual even included one of those 'what came before' type sections, covering the history up to the events up to the 'current' game. Even the official Hintbook, called it King's Quest 8 as well...
It's kind of like Quest for Glory: Shadows of Darkness, or Police Quest: Open Season, all of the promotional stuff called them QFG4 and PQ4 respectively, but the actual title screens/boxes left off that title! But you could certainly find references pointing out that they were the 4th game in each of their series!
Even PQ promotional material for PQ:Swat and PQ:Swat 2 called those games PQ5 and PQ6 in all promotional material as well.
It wasn't until SWAT3 that they dropped PQ out of all the promotional material. Although they were retroactively put back into the Police Quest series in certain Sierra collections. Such as the Police Quest: SWAT Generation collection (came with SWAT, SWAT2, and SWAT3).
Also, here is another weird example from Activision! Modern Warfare 2, is called Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 on the box! But the title screens and ingame, make no reference to Call of Duty (at least it was that way on initial release)... Instead, the title screen just says Modern Warfare 2.
Marketing and promotion are often complicated...
It's actually called the SWAT Career Pack and it comes with the 4 Most Wanted, SWAT 1, SWAT 2, and a demos of SWAT 3 and GK3. Still have the box.
There was that whole ordeal with the executives at Infinity Ward getting axed by ActiVision for no good reason and they fought back with what was in their contracts. Something about any Call of Duty game that was made in modern times? Or maybe only specifically before modern times...I can't remember. Could be part of the reason. At any rate, Modern Warfare has almost become its own franchise now and doesn't need the COD label.
Nah, I'm speaking of a completely different collection, "Police Quest: SWAT Generation". IT was a 2003 release or so...It's actually called the SWAT Career Pack and it comes with the 4 Most Wanted, SWAT 1, SWAT 2, and a demos of SWAT 3 and GK3. Still have the box.
I kinda agree, except that uses one or two characters who are related to characters from the previous series to link them together.Modern Warfare has almost become its own franchise now and doesn't need the COD label.
With the third game, they went back to huge ol "Call of Duty", and called it "Call of Duty: MW3" on the box and title screen (abbreviating the Modern Warfare subtitle).

lil_earthmomma, this sounds absolutely delicious. I think I will try this out on our upcoming Thanksgiving. Thank you so much for sharing!
I made a grain free apple crisp for (canadian) Thanksgiving, and wasn't overly pleased with the results. It was really soupy because I didn't add corn starch or flour or any thickener...
So today I experimented and came up with an awesome method that I plan on using whenever I make crisps, pies (with coconut flour) etc.
I boiled heavy whipping cream with a splash of vanilla and 2 tbsp of maple syrup until reduced. Then I cooked the apple slices with some cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg and ginger until they were softish but still firm (if that makes any sense! lol I just don't like mushy fruit!) Then I strained the cream and removed the fruit, added the cream back to the pot and let it really reduce. I took it off the heat, and added four egg yolks, and poured the liquid over the fruit in the baking dish.
I topped the apple mixture with chopped almonds and chopped pecans that I toasted and tossed in a tbsp of maple syrup. (This crisp fed 15 people so that's a pretty good amount of sugar I think!)
Baked at 350 for 15 min, served with unsweetened vanilla whipped cream.
It was thick and a bit creamy and so good. My guests couldn't believe how good it was.
It would be even better baked in individual ramekins.
Thought I'd share in case others were having trouble thickening fruit dishes.
The more I see the less I know for sure.

lil_earthmomma, this sounds absolutely delicious. I think I will try this out on our upcoming Thanksgiving. Thank you so much for sharing!
Yum!!! Sounds perfect for a fall dessert. . .be sure to enter this in Mark's cookbook contest!!
How much cream and how many apples for 15 people?
@ Catalina, hmmm....
I sliced and froze the apples last week, so I'm unsure, but enough to fill a huge glass lasagne pan, (which I greased with butter.)
As for cream I used a 500 ml carton, so 2 cups. I didn't quite pour all of the condensed sauce over the apples, just enough so that the liquid came up about 3/4 of the way to the top of the apples. (Hope that made sense.)
The more I see the less I know for sure.
-John Lennon
that sounds so so so good. im gonna save this recipe for thanksgiving this year.
This sounds fabulous lil_earthmomma. Yeah, I agree with Catalina. Make sure to send this to Mark's cookbook contest. I still have to try your previous recipes, mushroom-crust quiche and the sauteed apples. I might make the quiche tomorrow.
I'm a bit of a foodie, and going Primal has only stretched me and forced me to grow and become more creative!!! I love it!
I'd really like to start a primal food blog... maybe when my toddlers are a little bigger! lol
Maba, let me know how you like the quiche!
The more I see the less I know for sure.
-John Lennon
I was going to suggest just that in my previous comment but stopped short as I thought you'd mentioned on another thread that you have little kids and are strapped for time. If you do start one, please do share the blog link with us.
Sounds tasty...put the recipe in my long list of things to try.

A horrific double murder and election drama dominated the news in the second half of 2012.
The abduction and murders of Dana Woods and June Guerry on Aug. 26 shocked Berkeley County. The two girls were reported missing only to have Woods burned-out car and their bodies discovered two days later.
Other news dominating the front pages were the election protests filed by a number of candidates throughout the state over the summer months, including Berkeley County District 3 councilman Bob Call who embarked on a six-month protest of his June 12 primary loss to councilman-elect Ken Gunn.
A new principal came to Berkeley High School when former Summerville High School Assistant Principal Steven Steele was approved by the Berkeley County School Board to become the new leader of BHS.
Steele replaced Kim McLaren, who was promoted to the position of BCSD Director of Secondary Education at the end of the 2011-2012 school year. Steele and his wife, Mindy, were introduced at a summer school board meeting.
Im very excited about getting the chance to work with the students of Berkeley High School and help them realize their full potential, Steele said. Its good to be a part of the rich heritage and tradition that is Berkeley High School.
Berkeley County Councilman Bob Call filed a lawsuit seeking to overturn his June 12 GOP primary defeat. The lawsuit challenged Calls opponent Ken Gunns candidacy, claiming Gunns paperwork was not filed in accordance with South Carolina Republican Party regulations. Call lost to Gunn a political newcomer by 371 to 265 votes in the GOP primary.
Circuit Judge J.C. Nicholson ruled in favor of a motion filed by the South Carolina Election Commission seeking to dismiss the lawsuit, which would have reversed Calls primary loss.
Nicholson dismissed the suit in Charleston, on the grounds that Call waited more than three months after the May 2 state Supreme Court ruling requiring non-exempt candidates for election to file their statement of economic interests online to file his suit.
Nicholson questioned the reasoning and motive behind the three-month delay and accepted the S.C. Election Commissions motion to dismiss the lawsuit.
Since there is no Democratic opponent in the Nov. 6, election, Gunn will assume Calls District 3 council seat in January 2013. The judges ruling today validates the publics wishes, Gunn said after the lawsuits dismissal.
The unthinkable unfolded over the first week in September with the horrific double murder of 18-year-old Dana Woods and 22-year-old June Guerry.
What began as a missing persons case on the weekend of Aug. 25 turned into a case of double murder as August passed into September, as the bodies of Woods and Guerry were discovered one day and about 10 miles. Woods was laid to rest on Sept. 1, while Guerrys funeral was Sept. 2.
The women disappeared on Sunday, Aug. 29. Woods and Guerry were last seen in the evening hours at a Burger King in Moncks Corner. Relatives said they had left that evening to take a family member home to Pinopolis.
The collective shock, grief and anger of the community turned to relief as two suspects were taken into custody for the killing.
Shortly after Woods funeral, family members of the two victims were brought into the BCSO headquarters and given the news that a pair of arrests had been made in their daughters murders.
Arrested and charged with two counts of murder were Caleb Brad Matlock, 23, of Summerville, and Arthur Ray Chavis, 23, of Cordesville.
These are the two people responsible for the deaths of these two young ladies, said BCSO Capt. Rick Ollic, who heads up the BCSOs Criminal Investigations Division.
Jennifer Hill, Woods mother, stated simply, Thank God on her Facebook page after hearing of the news.
I really want to thank everyone for concerns, prayers, support, donations, and love for our girls, Hill said. Our community has pulled together and we are going to win this battle. Again, our family can't thank everyone enough.
A South Carolina Law Administrative Law Court ruling that Berkeley County can support two hospitals was announced on Oct. 3. The ruling was a victory for Roper St. Francis Healthcare, which wants to build a hospital near Goose Creek, and a setback for Trident Health, which has planned to build a 50-bed facility in Moncks Corner, and has maintained that Berkeley County could not support two such facilities.
The two hospitals have been battling in the press and courts for more than three years. The ruling favors Roper St. Francis, which plans to move forward with construction on its long-awaited hospital in the Carnes Crossroads community in Goose Creek.
In the order provided by Judge John D. McLeod, the judge agreed with the DHEC decision.
I find that Berkeleys population size is well able to support two 50-bed hospitals, McLeod said. Tridents position that both hospitals will financially fail if both are approved is inconsistent with Tridents financials and its application.
I find the overwhelming evidence admitted at trial proved that both hospitals are needed and both hospitals in Berkeley County will be financially successful.
In a statement released after the ruling, Roper St. Francis reiterated its position about the Berkeley County market being able to support two hospitals.
Roper St. Francis is very pleased that the court has upheld DHECs 2009 decision to allow both hospitals, but it is the residents of Berkeley County who have won, said David Dunlap, president and CEO of Roper St. Francis Healthcare. Roper St. Francis has fought hard for Berkeley County for more than three years on this issue. We have not wavered in the position that both hospitals, proposed for two different areas, are needed and would be supported.
Trident expressed its disappointment in the ruling.
In November, the national and local elections dominated the news as President Barack Obama was reelected to a second presidential term.
Berkeley County voters turned out steadily throughout election day on Nov. 6. The official voter turnout was more than 67 percent close to 70,000 voters went to the polls. More than 68 percent of voters turned out statewide.
President Obama won the national election and in Berkeley County received 41 percent of the vote while Republican challenger Mitt Romney received 56 percent of the countys vote. Libertarian candidate Gary Johnson received just over one percent.
The $198 million school bond referendum passed with more than 59 percent of the vote as 40,092 residents voted in its favor.
Other local contested races were for State House Dist. 100, in which Republican Edward Southard won with 65 percent of the vote over Democratic and Working Families candidate Tonia Aiken-Taylor.
In State House Dist. 102 Democratic incumbent Joe Jefferson won with 66 percent of the vote as Republican challenger Allan Weiss received just over 33 percent of the vote.
In the Berkeley County School Board District 7 race incumbent Wilhelmina Moore received more than 60 percent of the vote to defeat challenger Marty Housand.
In School Board District 1 incumbent Kent Murray won with 55 percent of the vote as nearly 45 percent went to challenger Kevin Cox.
Republican incumbent Tim Scott won the U.S. House of Representatives District 1 race with 65 percent of the vote. Bobbie Rose ran against Scott as a member of the Democratic and Working Families parties. She received more than 32 percent of the countys votes.
In U.S. House District 6 Democratic incumbent Jim Clyburn received 93 percent of the county and state vote.
In Berkeley County 58 percent of voters marked yes to the constitutional amendment that will make the South Carolina governor and lieutenant governor run on the same ticket in 2016. More than 55 percent of the state voted in favor of the amendment.
Road construction projects made their presence felt in December with the US 17A widening project kicking into high gear and the repaving of Hwy. 6 nearing completion. Traffic was often slowed while construction crews and heavy equipment worked to improve local driving conditions for area motorists.
In 2008, the voters of Berkeley County passed a one percent sales and use tax for financing the costs of highways, roads, bridges, and other transportation-related project facilities, and drainage facilities related thereto, according to the Berkeley County website.
The news year ended with South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley tabbing First District Congressman Tim Scott to fill Jim DeMints U.S. Senate seat.
I think this is a new day in South Carolina, Haley said. The process was pretty simple. Tim understands the focus we need in our business community as we fight for new jobs. Tim knows the value of a dollar.
This man loves South Carolina. He knows that every vote affects South Carolina and affects our country. Congressman Scott earned this seat through the person he is and the results he has shown.
Scotts appointment makes him the first African American since Reconstruction to represent South Carolina in the U.S. Senate.
Our nation finds itself where we need some backbone, Scott said. We need to make some difficult decisions. When you have a problem with spending it means you dont have enough revenue to cover it, and we have a spending problem not a revenue problem.
DeMint is resigning in January to become president of the Heritage Foundation. His senate replacement will serve until a special election is held in 2014.
State Sen. Larry Grooms is among the candidates who are running for Scotts Congressional seat.

THE pension and asset management industry in SA has criticised a controversial government plan, due to be discussed at the African National Congress (ANC) policy conference starting tomorrow, to push private pension and life assurance money into state enterprises and development finance instruments.
Leading professionals and regulatory experts said at the weekend such a move would be highly inappropriate if it had the effect of making pension funds instruments of state policy, and opened the door to poor returns and misdirection of funds.
Over four days, the ANC will discuss 13 policy documents, two of them on the use of targeted investment to help fund infrastructure and social initiatives.
"That is not what pension funds are there to do - they are vehicles for people's savings," said Andrew Canter, Futuregrowth's chief investment officer.
"The reality is government shouldn't be telling people where to bank, which supermarket to use, or what pension funds they should invest in."
Business Day has established that at least one leading asset manager has called a high-level meeting for this week to discuss how best to deal with any fallout and to communicate the potential harm of such a move.
Ryan van Breda, a risk management and portfolio compliance specialist at Prescient Investment Management, said if the government had to prescribe in this way, it would cause international investors to consider withdrawing significant investments.
This comes as reports said Namibia would give its finance minister the power to prescribe how much pension money should go into unlisted assets and greenfield projects. "It will only suck the liquidity out of the Namibian market," Mr van Breda said.
A battle may be looming within the ANC, with leftists hoping to have the policy ratified at December's elective conference.
The Treasury said any targeted investment for funds should not come at the expense of pension returns. Tax and financial sector policy deputy director-general Ismail Momoniat said while it was important to find solutions for the long-term funding of the R3,2-trillion infrastructure initiatives, "you don't want a situation where pension holders don't perceive investments are giving a high enough return - then they won't save".
Mr Canter called it a "myth" that the infrastructure spending pipeline cannot be funded by existing channels and that pensions needed to be forced into buying development finance instruments. Transnet was already generating enough cash flow to reinvest in capital projects, while Eskom had procured 75% of its budgeted funding needs for 2012 to 2018.
"Throwing money at this will create a financial mess, distortion, and inexperienced people will be opportunistically setting up investment businesses, which they don't have the skill to run.
"There is no shortage of money in SA, only a shortage of skills for delivery," he said.
Carla Letchman, the Financial Planning Institute's technical research analyst, said that in late 2010, Economic Development Minister Ebrahim Patel's development bond idea seemed "very novel" and there was not enough time for experts to get their heads around the plan, or for industry to be properly consulted. Eventually it was not included in the regulation 28 changes. These new rules, introduced at the end of last year, determine the amounts pension funds can invest in different asset classes.

The federal lawsuit says the FBI failed to timely respond to a 2011 request under the Freedom of Information Act.
Insane Clown Posse fans are known as Juggalos. Last year, the FBI included Juggalos in its national report on gangs.
The report doesn't mention a direct connection to Insane Clown Posse, but says many Juggalos have "gang-like behavior" and commit crimes and violence. The report includes a picture of a Juggalo wearing face paint and aiming a gun.
The group says its fans are a "family," not a gang.
Detroit FBI spokesman Simon Shaykhet declined comment Wednesday. The lawsuit was filed Tuesday in Flint.

Shell Earnings Beat Analyst Estimates on LNG Sales
Royal Dutch Shell Plc, Europe's largest oil company, posted earnings that beat analyst estimates for the third straight quarter after a 22 percent increase in liquefied natural-gas sales.
Excluding one-time items and inventory changes, Shell earned $4.9 billion in the third quarter. That beat the $4.3 billion mean estimate of 18 analysts surveyed by Bloomberg.
Chief Executive Officer Peter Voser said Shell is in a "delivery window" for growth after expanding an oilsands venture in Canada and taking final investment decisions on deepwater projects in the Gulf of Mexico and Brazil. Shell is reversing a seven-year decline in output as BP Plc struggles to recover from the worst oil spill in U.S. history.
"This is an excellent set of results," said Peter Hutton, head of research at NCB Stockbrokers Ltd. in London. "It more than delivers on the expectation of momentum."
Net income rose to $3.46 billion from $3.25 billion a year earlier, The Hague-based company said in a statement today.
Shell is the first of Europe's biggest oil companies to report earnings. It will be followed by Total SA tomorrow and BP on Nov. 2. Exxon Mobil Corp., the largest U.S. oil company, is scheduled to report results later today. ConocoPhillips, the third-largest U.S. oil producer, said yesterday that net income more than doubled to $3.06 billion.
Higher Output
Shell is targeting hard-to-reach rock formations in Australia, the U.S. and China, as well as projects in Qatar. Third-quarter production rose 5 percent to 3.058 million barrels of oil equivalent a day from 2.917 million barrels a year earlier.
LNG sales volumes increased to 4.26 million tons, with Shell citing "major contributions" from the Sakhalin II LNG project in Russia and Nigeria LNG.
Shell's Class A shares traded in London rose 0.5 percent to 1,987 pence as of the 4:30 p.m. close. The stock is up 5.6 percent this year, compared with a 30 percent decline for BP, which at one point lost more than half its market value as the costs of cleaning up the Gulf of Mexico oil spill escalated.
Voser is accelerating asset sales of as much as $8 billion this year and next, and has cut 7,000 jobs and reduced exposure to the less profitable downstream business. Yesterday, Shell agreed to sell most of its refining and marketing business in Sweden and Finland to a major shareholder of Finnish energy company St1 Oy for $640 million.
Canadian Expansion
Last month, Shell started production at the 100,000 barrel-a-day expansion of its Athabasca oil sands development in Canada, while its BC-10 offshore block in Brazil reached production of 95,000 barrels a day. The producer plans to increase production of heavy crude by 60 percent in the Americas through 2020 and also applied to drill a well off Alaska next year. The $19 billion Pearl gas-to-liquids plant in Qatar will be fully operational in the first quarter of 2012.
"Shell is now that much closer to getting Qatar GTL on stream," said Iain Armstrong, an analyst at broker Brewin Dolphin Ltd. in London. "BP risks getting left in the wilderness."
Oil futures averaged $76.21 a barrel in the quarter, a 12 percent increase from a year earlier, and natural-gas futures rose 23 percent.

I would close to to know if noni liquid is angelic and the facial product as ably?
Well, I work in a strength food shop and a LOT of people come surrounded by and buy the juice, they articulate it makes them have a feeling really good, nutritious etc. Personally I would't know as I've never drunk the stuff. However it is really expensive, don't know if you're aware of that?? about lb15 for a 2 litre bottle. You might obtain it cheaper elsewhere though. I don't know about the facial product, we don't stock that.
no its a scam
I am not sure
If it's a facial you want you can enjoy some of my noni juice!
The only route to know if noni will work for you is to try it. Each of us has our own symmetry of chemicals to deal near. Your balance will different than mine. You will take action differently to noni than I will. If it works for you, then it is worthy. This is true of herbs, homeopathy, and todays medicine. Everyone reacts differently.

AT&T CENTER – With the 104-82 victory sending the Portland Trail Blazers on their summer vacation Wednesday evening, the San Antonio Spurs advanced to their third consecutive Western Conference Finals.
At the moment, the Oklahoma City Thunder currently hold a 3-2 series lead over the Los Angeles Clippers, as the series will shift to Los Angeles for game six on Thursday.
The Spurs will now have to sit back and wait to see who their next opponent will be. Two years ago in their 2012 playoff run, the Spurs swept the Clippers in the second round, and lost to the Thunder in six games of the Conference Finals.
This Spurs team is a new group from that squad two years ago, and by the responses of their players, they will be ready for whoever comes out on top between the Clippers and Thunder.
"Whoever is going to show up, is going to show up," said Spurs forward Tim Duncan after the Spurs' victory over the Blazers.
"It does matter," said Danny Green (of who wins between the Clippers and Thunder), "but either way, we still have to stick to our game plan."
"It doesn't matter who we play," said Boris Diaw of the potential matchup. "It's going to be a great team, a great battle. It's going to be close."
"Whoever is the best team," said Kawhi Leonard lastly, "I want to play them."
Two years ago, the Spurs had Gary Neal and Stephen Jackson as part of their playoff rotation. Fast-forward to today, and they've seen development in Kawhi Leonard, Danny Green, Tiago Splitter, Patty Mills, and Boris Diaw over the last two years, and they've added Marco Belinelli this past season, as he too has become a key part of the playoff rotation.
As the Spurs have changed, so have the Thunder and Clippers over the last two seasons. Whether game one of the Conference Finals kicks off Monday vs. the Thunder, or Wednesday against the Thunder or Clippers, referring back to what Diaw said, "It's going to be a great battle."
Two opponents that will know each other well, however, a totally new chess match with old, developed, and new pieces. Welcome to the Western Conference Finals.

Coach Joe Meagher (center) discusses strategy with Falcons (l-r) Aaron Brown, (#32) Jacob Geballe, (#20) Eric Bukovinsky, (#12) MIke Lynch, (#21) Jesse Barham, (#33) Brad Kertson, (#11) Zach Tuiasosopo,(#35) Sterling Brown, (#23) Josh O'Hair, (#31) Nate Lubetkin. (#45)
The Woodinville High School basketball team, fresh from national competition in a Las Vegas Holiday Tournament, beat the Sydney Wildcats, an Australian team, 58 to 50 Dec. 29 in the Falcon gym. "Our kids are a select group from high schools, clubs and associations from the greater Sydney area," John Bone, the Australian coach, said. "This is our summer break, and we are fortunate to be playing here in such a beautiful area. The hospitality of Woodinville players, parents and coaches has been warming."
The first period saw the bigger, stronger Aussies controlling the game, and WHS was down 17 to 13.
But, whenWoodinville coach Joe Meagher switched to younger, smaller, but quicker players, the Falcons rallied to within 1 at the half, 21-22.
Woodinville's pressure defense held tight to start the third period as baskets by Sterling Brown, Nate Cole, and Jason Snyder put WHS up 31 to 22, a lead they never relinquished.
Sydney crept back to within 4 points in the fourth quarter, but a Sterling Brown 3 point bomb put the game out of reach.
Aaron Brown and Jason Snyder were high point players with 13 points each.

Who would have thought that this shirt could be one of the most worthwhile 'business investments' I have made?
Shirt arrived (ordered 2 of the same – just in case) and when I wear it I get stopped by people who ask about it. Naturally this leads onto other topics and when people find out I am a bit of an 'entrepreneur', I end up with loads of potential business opportunities and new clients!
This design gets people talking and its an eye catcher.
Top marks and thank you for a top design Brian.

In boxing, it's hard to anticipate future matchups because anything can happen in the ring to derail even the best-laid plans of mice and Bob Arum.
Yuriorkis Gamboa vs. Juan Manuel Lopez was one of the "great fights" to be made in the sport until JuanMa suffered his first defeat to Orlando Salido in April.
That's not the most awful thing in the world. Salido/Lopez was a terrific, action-packed thriller and the rematch will be one of the most anticipated fights the rest of the year. But Gamboa/Lopez isn't happening anytime soon.
Here are five fights that might end up happening, might get derailed or might never get considered at all. But if the stars do align, you can expect action and class from the following five potential scorchers.
