Hello all!
I'm new here, so I thought I'd start a new discussion
I'm a busy student living in California, and I'd like to make use of this crockpot sitting in my kitchen! I'd love to be able to cook something at the start or mid-week, and nibble on it for lunch and dinner as a fallback on those nights you simply don't have enough time to cook.
Any and all recipes are welcome and much appreciated!!!!

Re: Slow-cooker
You can do so many things with a slow cooker. It is also great to put a joint of meat in either very late at night or first thing in the morning, and come home to the smell of cooking food. I have found that one of the best things about a slow cooker is that it makes the cheaper cuts of meat taste fantastic. This is usually because the cheaper ones are tougher (like mutton) but when slow cooked the flavour is just out of this world.
For your situation though where the weather is a lot warmer than it is here in the UK you might be stuck with doing things that are a bit heavy. I would look at the Indian cuisine for things that can sit for a few days without spoiling. you could come home and put on some rice, ladle out some curry and your meal is ready. also if you get bored with that particular thing, just freeze it and you have a micro dinner ready for you to ping to life. Soups are also a good thing to have on the go. A �1 bag od veg from the supermarket, washed, peeled (optional) and using a thick cut cheese grater, grate them into the pot. Add boiling water, a stock cube and some cut up meat if you want and let it cook away all day. if you are running low or you want to boost the flavour a little, just add a cup-a-soup mix, and a bit more water. The soup mix can also be used to thicken it up if you have not got any lentles etc.
Is that they type of thing you are thinking of using the slow cooker for?

Re: Slow-cooker
I'm a big fan of this site:
She set herself a challenge to cook with the slow cooker every day. Most of the recipes turned out well. Some were flops. The flops make amusing reading. The blogger lives in California, and loves her crockpots in the summer because she doesn't have to turn the oven on!
I use my (enormous) slow cooker all the time. My favourite is meatballs:
Heat up canned tomatoes with salt and sugar to taste. You can add any sliced or diced veg you want, garlic is great, whatever herbs take your fancy, or it's great just plain tomatoes. Don't miss out the salt and sugar or it will be sour and flat-tasting. You want enough tomatoes, veg etc. to half-fill your slow cooker pot. Cover and set on High.
Then mix up the meatballs. The ratio of the mix is for every pound of mince (ground meat, any kind) you want two eggs and enough breadcrumbs, cracker crumbs or oatmeal to make it up into a stiffish dough. I like to add crushed garlic, salt and pepper to the meatball mix. How much mix you need depends on the size of your slow cooker; I use 4-5 pounds of mince, but I have a 6.5 litre slow cooker. I suppose you can work it out for a smaller one (Maths is Fun!).
Then just roll the mix into balls and drop into the slow cooker (make sure they're going into hot sauce, or they'll tend to fall apart). Cook on Low for 6-8 hours or High for 4-5. Serve with mashed potato, rice, spaghetti or just in bowls with bread. They freeze well.
My CrockPot brand slow cooker is so over-powered that I can put the tomatoes etc. in cold and they are heated up by the time I've finished making the meatball mix. Most slow cookers are not this powerful, so you will need to bring the mix to the boil on the stovetop first.
I also did pulled pork recently using this recipe:

Re: Slow-cooker
Untill recently I had not thought about this....
My neice makes lasagne in her slow cooker, she just layers up all the ingredients as she would normally in the slow coker but she starts with some tomatoes , then puts it to slow cook .
Shes a busy working mum and often due to her job works late , her family are young adults now. So making a lasagne like this is somethig that she has worked out .
I can see that it would work , but the issue to me would be missing that lovely ven baked top that you get with an oven baked lasagne.
I bought me sister-in-law a little slow cooker recently , it small and meant for just 2 people , she has tried this and said with a bit of a blush that the lasagne was so delicious that she ate the whole thing , she had meant to save a portion for the next day , but clearly that didn't happen
anyone else tried this ?

Re: Slow-cooker
Maybe I should try that mummza because I don't like dry, crisp noodles on lasagna at all. All the noodles should be soft and coated well in sauce for me to enjoy it. I am using rice noodles as I can't find quinoa in lasagna sheets, which is a nicer product, IMO. The rice noodles tend to scorch if they puff out of the sauce and that is not a nice flavor or texture, more like torture to eat.

Re: Slow-cooker
I only tried slow cooker lasagne once and it was a bit soggy - I think maybe you need to be careful about the cooking time? I'm not that good at lasagne in the oven, anyway, so maybe my failure tells you more about me than about the recipe!
As for the crispy top, if you have a big slow cooker you could cook the lasagne in a pyrex or metal dish in the slow cooker, then put it under the grill/broiler to brown it when it's done. I have an oval pyrex dish that fits in my slow cooker and I make pie fillings in it, then top with pastry and finish in the oven. Slow cooker stoneware inserts are often oven-safe but not always grill-safe, and anyway, they're kind of an awkward shape for putting in the oven (too deep).

Re: Slow-cooker
I may have indicated previously that I'm not really up to speed on slow cookers. On Friday last I dug out the slow cooker and cooked 4 pork loins (around 1.5 kg in total) together with condensed tomato soup, onions, garlic, Worcestershire sauce, soya sauce, etc. (I also added cube potatoes for good measure). The recipe stated 6-8 hours, however, my cooker has a maximum cooking time of 4 hours, so after 4 hours, I dialed in another 2 hours. The result was satisfactory but nothing to write home about. The pork seemed to me to be overcooked. I am told by local well-meaning souls that you cannot overcook food in a slow cooker but this appears to me to be in contradiction to the laws of physics (which I failed in high school). Another thought is that modern slow cookers are now more efficient and therefore the cooking time should be shorter.
I'm not sure what question I'm asking here now.

Re: Slow-cooker
You can definitely overcook pork loin! It's a tender cut and will disintegrate if cooked too long. Lots of people use pork loin chops in the slow cooker but to be honest, it's not a great cut for slow cooking.
It is not true you can't overcook things in slow cookers. It's not even true that you can't burn them - that depends on the slow cooker. Mine has burnt things in the past.
When people say things like "you can't overcook things in the slow cooker" what they mean is that if it was ready at 6pm, it will easily go for another hour, maybe two, without spoiling, so you don't need to worry about when you serve dinner as much as if you had something in the oven.
To get good results with a slow cooker, you're best to stick to tougher cuts of meat - pork shoulder, for instance, or beef brisket.
I'm puzzled by your slow cooker not cooking for more than 4 hours. That's a bit strange - many slow cooker recipes are designed to be cooked while you are out at work, for 8-10 hours. What's the make and model?

Norwegian writer-director Tommy Wirkola drags this Brothers Grimm fairy tale into the 21st century with a plot twist and genre mash-up.
Driven by a couple of punkish heroes, played with vigour and humour by Jeremy Renner and Gemma Arterton, it's mindless good fun, filled with blood-splattering violence which makes the most of 3D.
The film starts with young Hansel and Gretel in the woods stumbling across a house made of candy, and encountering a nasty witch who they escape by throwing in a fire - only to return home and find their parents missing. These bloodthirsty youngsters grow into wisecracking, trigger-happy witch hunters out for revenge on the world of witchcraft.
The plot, such as it is, unfolds with a few surprises - mostly to do with the mystery of their parents' disappearance. But those just get in the way of the action and the inventive methods the pair employ as assassins.
Renner looks like he's having a good time playing a hero with real attitude and sharp quips, and Arterton grows on you, especially when she head-butts her way out of tricky situations. It's enough to carry you along initially, but as the action slows and the one-liners grow more serious, not even Renner can convince us this is more than silly nonsense.
Hansel and Gretel: Witch Hunters ends with the suggestion that there is more to come. That seems overly optimistic.
Stars: 2.5/5
Cast: Jeremy Renner, Gemma Arterton
Director: Tommy Wirkola
Running time: 88 mins
Rating: TBC
Verdict: Mindless and bloody fun

OAKLAND -- With apologies to Brad Pitt, members of the Swingin' A's wondered Friday night if Hollywood made a movie about the wrong team.
For a real blockbuster about Oakland baseball, forget "Moneyball" and get a load of the Technicolor bunch that won three consecutive World Series from 1972-74.
"It would have to be a seven-hour movie," reliever Rollie Fingers said.
"It would have to be Rated-R for violence, language and all of the above," former pitcher John "Blue Moon" Odom said.
"What would that title be? 'The Misfits'?" pitcher Vida Blue asked.
The cast of characters is back in town for a 40-year reunion this weekend, spinning tales that even the hackies of screenwriting would dismiss as implausible. The '74 team featured mustachioed brawlers, nutty nicknames, brightly colored uniforms, a world-class sprinter who played "designated runner" and an eccentric, tightfisted owner named Charlie Finley -- and yet somehow delivered some of the most exquisite baseball ever played.
The New York Yankees are the only other franchise to win at least three consecutive World Series.
"I will admit, I took it all for granted," Blue, 64, says now. "That is the perilous part of youth. You think about Ernie Banks, who was never even in the playoffs let alone the World Series. You think about all the great players that have played this game that never had a taste of postseason play.
"So it's mind-boggling winning three straight. What we did is one of the great accomplishments in sports."
The '74 team capped the Oakland three-peat by beating the Los Angeles Dodgers in a five-game Fall Classic.
Players will be honored in a pregame ceremony Saturday, and three World Series MVPs -- Gene Tenace ('72), Reggie Jackson ('73) and Fingers ('74) will throw out first pitches.
The first 15,000 fans will receive a Jim "Catfish" Hunter bobblehead doll in honor of the pitcher who won 25 games and captured the American League's Cy Young Award in the '74 season. That team also featured four hitters who blasted at least 20 home runs apiece: Jackson (29), Tenace (26), Joe Rudi (22) and Sal Bando (22).
Billy North (54 steals) and Bert "Campy" Campaneris (34) provided the speed.
There was at least one thing about the team that today's movie audiences might recognize: the lack of spending. Oakland did it on the cheap.
"You look at the money that players made and the talent that we had, that's the original 'Moneyball,' isn't it?" Tenace said. "Being able to do things with less payroll? That was us. We won three World Series and won the division five years in a row with a payroll probably as low as anybody in the league at that time."
The Swingin' A's did it despite a clubhouse chemistry that could require a hazmat suit. Hours before Game 1 of the '74 World Series, for example, players kept insisting to reporters that tales of their infighting were greatly exaggerated. Then Fingers and Odom started brawling right there in the clubhouse.
Fingers required six stitches in his head. Odom wound up with a sprained ankle.
"We had some characters and we were beating the (expletive) out of each other. But we still won," Fingers, 67, says now. "We had our moments, but when the game started we were all baseball."
Fingers was the World Series MVP. Odom earned the win in Game 5.
Nothing ticked off Oakland in those days quite like being disrespected. In the days leading up to the '74 World Series, somebody from the Dodgers said they had reviewed the rosters and said the only two A's players who could crack the Los Angeles lineup were Jackson and Hunter.
"Somebody taped the newspaper up in our locker room," Tenace, the catcher, recalled. "Nobody said anything to the media. Nobody said anything to the Dodgers. We just went out and beat them.
"And I'll tell you what. We should have swept 'em. That's the kind of talent we had. You rattle our cage and we took it to another level."
Need an opening scene for the movie? In the early days of the '74 season, A's players were ticked off at Finley for what Fingers called "just a piece-of-crap ring with no diamond in it." That was their reward for beating the New York Mets for the '73 title.
So opening day in Oakland, Fingers and starter Ken Holtzman were shagging balls in the outfield when they spotted their owner in the third-base dugout.
"Kenny Holtzman hated Charlie Finley as much as I did," Fingers recalled, still chuckling. "So we got a couple of balls in our pocket. And on the count of three, we threw two each right at him. And then we laid down in the grass and started doing sit-ups.
"By the time the balls got to him, they were rattling all over the dugout. He had no clue where they came from."
But the innovative Finley could press the right buttons, too. "I thought of Charlie as a father figure to us," Odom, 69, said. "He gave us all a chance. Even though he didn't pay us a salary that we deserved, we still went out and won regardless."
One of Finley's gambits in '74 was the invention of the designated runner. He signed Herb Washington -- a track star from Michigan State with no baseball experience. Washington went on to spend 105 career games in the major leagues without batting, pitching or fielding. As a pinch runner, he stole 33 bases and scored 31 runs.
He also had an ignominious Game 2 in '74, getting picked off in the ninth inning by Dodgers reliever Mike Marshall.
"Herb was a very confident, outgoing guy," Bando said Friday. "He got teased a lot -- and he also gave it back a lot.
"He fit in perfect."
A's players chide fans for booing struggling reliever. PAGE 5

(Special to the American Press)

By Scooter Hobbs / American Press
Cam Cameron, a longtime friend of LSU head coach Les Miles, will be the Tigers' next offensive coordinator, according to multiple news reports.
LSU Sports Information Director Michael Bonnette said Friday, however, that the school would have no announcement related to football, most likely until after Mardi Gras.
With recruiting finished, Miles gave his staff time off until Wednesday.
Cameron, who coached with Miles at Michigan under Bo Schembechler from 1987 to 1993, was most recently offensive coordinator of the Baltimore Ravens. Although he got a lot of the credit for developing quarterback Joe Flacco, he was fired in early December before the Ravens began their Super Bowl run.
Cameron, known for tutoring quarterbacks, would replace Greg Studrawa as LSU's coordinator, but Studrawa is expected to remain on the staff as offensive line coach.
Cameron would likely replace quarterback coach Steve Kragthorpe on the staff. Kragthorpe was hired to be offensive coordinator and quarterback coach two years ago, but relinquished the coordinator duties when he was diagnosed with Parkinson's disease later that summer.
Kragthorpe apparently will not re turn to the staff.
Cameron has spent the last 12 years in the NFL, including a one-year stint as head coach of the Miami Dolphins in 2007, when he replaced Nick Saban and went 1-15.
His other head coaching job was at his alma mater, Indiana, where despite dynamic offenses with quarterback Antwaan Randle El, he went 18-37 from 1997-2001. He was replaced there by former LSU head coach Gerry DiNardo.
The 52-year-old Cameron, who spent three years as the Washington Redskins quarterback coach before taking the Indiana job, returned to the NFL with the San Diego Chargers in 2002.
With the Chargers he elevated second-year pro Drew Brees to the starting quarterback job over Doug Flutie and remained with the Chargers until the Dolphins made him head coach for the 2007 season.
He was hired by the Ravens as offensive coordinator the next year, where he remained until head coach John Harbaugh fired him after a 31-28 overtime loss to the Redskins on Dec. 9.
"The hardest thing I've ever had to do as a coach," Harbaugh said at the time. "Cam is my friend, he taught me a lot about coaching and is an outstanding coach." But, he added, "It's not about fair or unfair, right or wrong. We need a change."
Cameron will be charged with invigorating an LSU offense that has struggled in recent years, particularly the passing game.
He will have a senior quarterback in Zach Mettenberger, who showed promise late last season even though the Tigers finished 90th in the nation in passing offense with 200.5 yards per game.
They managed 219 yards total offense, including eight three-and-outs, in the last-second 25-24 Chick-fil-A Bowl loss to Clemson on Dec. 31.

Canadian James Naismith invented basketball in 1891. The original game used peach baskets as goals. The sport was added to the Olympic roster in 1904. It was considered an exhibition sport until it made its official debut as a medal sport at the 1936 games in Berlin, Germany.
Rules of the Game
Olympic basketball rules differ slightly from the National Basketball Association's (NBA) rules. Instead of four periods that last 12 minutes each, there are two periods that last 20 minutes each. The shot clock is set at 30 seconds instead of 24. And if needed, the overtime period lasts for only five minutes. In Olympic basketball, the rim and net are about three inches lower, and the 3-point line is shorter, making it easier for players to score 3-point shots.
Twenty-four international teams compete in the Olympic Games. Men and women compete in separate tournaments of 12 teams each. The 12 teams are divided into two groups of six teams. Each team is labeled either "A" or "B". Each team plays against the other five teams in its group. The four highest-ranked teams on each side move on to the quarterfinal round. In this round, team A1 goes up against team B4, team A2 against team B3, team A3 against team B2 and team A4 against team B1. The winning teams move on to the semifinal round. The two winning teams from the semifinal round shoot for the gold medal. The two losing teams from semifinals play against each other for bronze.

Dahab was a way more chilled out place than Sham with a half moon arching bay along the main water frontage. The beach was a mix of gravely-sand with the Sinai Mountains in the background and the Saudi Mountains over the Gulf of Aqaba in the distance.
Most of out time was spent on an awesome beach about a half-hours walk from the main Dahab area. Most of the beachfront was taken up by the big hotels but you could use them for a small fee, well worth it to use the deck chairs and sunhuts to get a break from the sun. They also had a table tennis room that Ewa kicked my arse at. The water was a nice bright light blue and the water was stunningly warm. The beach wasn't really busy which was good as well. I made a massive sandcastle that I was pretty pleased with although Ewa seemed less than impressed with the wonders of my construction. It was still standing the next day.
On another day we took a ride out to visit the blue hole dive area. We didn't do any diving but had something to eat at the restaurant before climbing on some camels for a ride back to Dahab. We were being led by a bunch of kids in a group of about 10 camels. It was pretty good at first but after a while it got really uncomfortable particularly on the butt.
Dahab had been a really excellent place to unwind along side the shore but unfortunately it was time to head back to Cairo. We hadn't even managed to get into the Sinai Mountains, which I had been hoping for.

Do you ever feel disconnected from your life and the people around you? Do you arrive at the end of each week wondering where it went? Practicing mindfulness as you move through your day helps you fully experience it and savor life — in the moment. Mindfulness doesn't give you more time, or slow it down — but it makes the time you have more meaningful and memorable.
What is Mindfulness?
In Savor: Mindful Eating, Mindful Life, Buddhist monk Thich Nhat Hanh and Harvard health expert Lilian Cheung, D.Sc., R.D., define being mindful as "to be completely aware of what is happening in the present, to be fully aware of all that is going on within ourselves and all that is happening around us, from moment to moment, without judgement or preconceived notions."
Mindfulness has its roots in ancient Buddhist teachings — but you don't have to be a Buddhist or religious at all to practice it. It's easy to learn and can be done anywhere, by anyone.
What are the Benefits of Mindfulness?
Practicing mindfulness is gaining popularity as a pathway to personal peace, well-being, and better quality of life. Health researchers point to significant health benefits found in people who practice mindfulness regularly, including:
Becoming Mindful
You can train yourself to become more mindful in many ways. Two of the most widely researched ways are listed here:
Mindful Living Every Day
Meditation and MBSR are great ways to build your mindfulness skills for everyday life. Becoming more mindful in ordinary situations promotes good health and quality of life.
Eating mindfully is a way of becoming aware of your experience of taking in each bite — paying attention to the texture, flavor, and temperature of each bite, for example, instead of watching TV as you eat or wolfing down a taco in your car. It helps you tune in to your physical sensations of hunger and fullness. Chances are, you'll eat less when you eat mindfully — yet walk away from the meal more satisfied.
Mindful physical activity means being fully aware of what you are doing when you are doing it, whether you're swimming, walking, lifting weights, or playing golf. Notice how your foot feels as it strikes the ground; pay attention to the sensation of fatigue in your shoulder as you lift a dumbbell. Because of your strong sense of focus, engaging in mindful exercise may enhance the effectiveness of your fitness workouts or sports performance.
The skills you gain from practicing mindfulness will also enhance your relationships. Having a mindful conversation with your spouse, partner, or children means that you focus completely on what they are saying — not on what you want to say next. No matter how you spend your time, when you're mindful, you're fully present instead of thinking about tomorrow's work project or ruminating over yesterday's stressful moments. And that's a priceless gift to give yourself and the people you care about.

Reviews for this host's other properties
We have nothing but praise for our stay in Verona. The apartment was fabulous and Elena couldn't have been more helpful if she had tried. If we come back to Verona we shall certainly contact Wimdu again for accommodation.
Derek and Thelma Jordan
The flat is clean and tidy but the place is very loud and the fountain outside makes you think that it's raining all the time. The price is almost to high. Elena (the woman on the picture next to mirko) was very friendly and helped us concerning finding a parking place, a good restaurant and things like that. The communication worked very well, her Englis is more than fine.
The stay has been excellent. The situation near the center is privileged. Special mention for Mirko, who was a prefect host.
We hope to see you again soon, Mirko. Thanks for all!
Nice and responsive owners, good location. Apartment had everything we needed for short stay.
Everything perfect. Elena was very friendly and helpful in all questions we had. She gave us a lot of information refarding Verona like restaurants, parking areas and so on. The appartment is perfect for 4 people especially for two couples and it takes 10 minutes to walk to the city center. 5 stars from us. Thanks
The apartment was clean and in really great location. It is about 15 in the center of the action. Very easy to reach by bus from the train station. Host was also very helpful and courteous.
We had a lovely break.
Das Apartment war sauber und in wirklich super Lage. Man ist in ca. 15 im Zentrum des Geschehens. Vom Bahnhof sehr gut mit dem Bus zu erreichen. Gastgeber war auch sehr hilfsbereit und zuvorkommend.
Wir hatten einen sehr schönen Kurzurlaub.

We are preparing for our own cruising life. Something that has been nagging me though is the thought of being out there just the two of us and having to face potential pirates unarmed. Still, I heard youre not supposed to be carrying arms into these different countries.
David Egerton
Sue and Larry respond:
The trouble with taking a gun into foreign countries is two folded. First, you'll more than likely be asked to surrender it to the local officials upon arrival. So, there goes your gun. Getting it back can be a hassle too. You have to sail back to where you checked in, and sometimes the gun has been moved to another location, or it has mysteriously disappeared altogether. Secondly, if you try and hide your gun (like some good friends of ours do), and it's discovered, your boat could be impounded, and you and your crew promptly jailed. We're happy to say that we've never felt threatened while cruising. Flare guns, spear guns, and baseball bats, however, are commonly cited as weapons of defense in the cruising community. Probably the best move you could make is to travel in groups of two or more if you're unsure about your safety.
Best regards,
Sue and Larry

One of the most underrated hip hop tracks of the 90s.......yet Destinys child blatantly ripped it off in an uncredited sample....funny how that works.

If its other emcees using a sample I have nothing against it. I love when samples are scratched in. Its like a sign of respect, but I dont think its right when other music genres try and use it. Like Vanilla Ice stealing queens instrumental without asking.

Which means that Jeff would have had no access to the riches Tonya would have received if she had won the gold medal. He and the others had no motive to help Tonya win the gold medal unless they knew Tonya was going to cut them in on it in exchange for their help, which means she was in on it.

Skillz April 07 Winning Entry - Creative
Andrew Laman did such a wonderful job of answering the questions in a manner and style that fit with the original Challenge, that I thought it only fitting to present his answer here with only a little touch of editing.
Great job, Andrew!"
Great job, Andrew!"
Excellent Skillz Challenge, Tom! Thank you very much. It was a lot of fun to think about and work on...though, I still think I could get it to work a better way. Hmm, it's just a ratio problem, as in the ratio of time I have to play with it vs. work vs. honeydos, etc. ;-) Thank you again and I appreciate all the time & work you put into it.
Don - Thank you for hosting the skillz challenges...much appreciated.

...as the plan developed in his head, Peter's smile stretched across his face. With dollar signs flashing through his head, he slowly focused back to reality.
"It is running Windows...it can't be a really nice phone!" screams Michael.
"Just because YOU don't understand Windows, doesn't mean that it isn't nice." says Samir and pushes his chair back from the table, as if he is going to jump up.
"Shut up, both of you." barks Peter, "Joanna and little Petey are out tonight and I want to discuss this in a more discrete place. Come by the house after work and I'll tell you what we are going to do."
Samir and Michael look at each other, then at Peter. "You call your son little Petey..??.." they asked in unison.
Glaring back at them, Peter says "Just meet me at the house." They get up and head back to the office not speaking a word during the long, somber walk back.
Later that evening, Peter answers a knock on his door. "What's up G?"
says Michael as he flails his arms around in some sort of spastic gangsta move. Samir just pushes by him and gives Peter a nod.
As Peter leads them through his living room, he turns off the Channel
39 kung-fu movie that was blasting through the television and takes them to a back room.
"Now just like at Initech, before we go any further, we have to swear to God, uh...Allah, that nobody knows about this but us, all right? No family members, no girlfriends, nobody." said Peter.
Samir and Michael nod in agreement as they hear a voice through the back wall. "Don't worry, man. I won't tell anyone either." shouts Lawrence.
"WTF!!" exclaims Michael.
"Uh, don't worry, it's just Lawrence. He's cool." says Peter.
"Lawrence is living in your walls?" asks Samir.
"Of course not, he has been renting our attic since he lost his apartment. It gives us some extra money and Lawrence a place to live."
explains Peter, "Now, we don't have much time before Joanna and little Petey get home."
Samir and Michael glance at each other but decide not to make any comments. They can feel Peter's glare as if he is daring them to say something about his son's nickname.
Peter continues, "So like we were talking about at lunch, my plan will still work. See, CRC32 is not a cryptographically secure hash. It was developed to detect errors in transmission."
"Yeah, polynomial division." pipes in Samir flaunting his phone in Michael's face.
"Shut up!" shouts Michael. "I know what he is talking about. I did some system analyst work for the District in LA awhile back. While Chloe and I were stopping a worm caused by Nina, she was telling me about a paper that came out of Humboldt-University in Berlin. It was called 'Reversing CRC - Theory and Practice'. A very good read."
"Nina developed a worm?" asks Peter, confused.
"Yes." confirms Michael.
"Nina... the receptionist?
Corporate-Accounts-Payable-Nina-Speaking-Just-A-Moment Nina?
The Nina who is now working in Initrode's HR department and sleeping with Brian?" asks Peter, now even more confused.
Samir interrupts "Nina is sleeping with Brian?"
Frustrated Michael blurts out "No! Nina Myers, the double-agent.
Anyways, it doesn't matter and I'm not supposed to talk about it."
"Using a tool like CRC32 Hacker developed by Andrew Koupparis, we can duplicate a CRC32 hash with an additional 4 bytes or less. I like the command line version." says Michael as he throws a glance at Samir.
"It is still Windows." smirks Samir.
Ignoring him, Michael continued to describe his idea. "If we take an original transaction like this:"
SELECT balance FROM account WHERE acctno = 141143153; SELECT balance FROM account WHERE acctno = 57165156; UPDATE account SET balance = 1021651.711031 WHERE acctno = 57165156; UPDATE account SET balance = 164145.162110 WHERE acctno = 141143153;
"It has a CRC32 value of b69162cf." injects Samir again flaunting his phone.
Still ignoring him, Michael says, "We can change the transaction to this:"
SELECT balance FROM account WHERE acctno = 141143153; SELECT balance FROM account WHERE acctno = 57165156; UPDATE account SET balance = 1021651.711031 WHERE acctno = 57165156; UPDATE account SET balance = 164145.16 WHERE acctno = 141143153; UPDATE account SET balance = .002110 WHERE acctno = 31337; --
"Then a little command line kung-fu and we can add hex bytes 0x6E 0xA4
0x42 0x59 to the end of the transaction and poof - duplicate CRC32 value. The new transaction looks like this in hex:"
53 45 4c 45 43 54 20 62 61 6c 61 6e 63 65 20 46 52 4f 4d 20 61 63 63 6f 75 6e 74 20 57 48 45 52 45 20 61 63 63 74 6e 6f 20 3d 20 31 34 31

33 33 37 3b 20 2d 2d 6e a4 42 59
"That worked!" exclaims Samir staring at the duplicated CRC32 number on his phone."But won't the accounting people notice the comment statements at the end of the transactions?"
"Who cares?!" says Peter. "If they are dumb enough to use CRC32 for transaction security, they will probably just think it is garbage from the transmission because the CRC32 values will still match."
"We probably could arrange the bits in such away that the skimmed balance or fake account number would include the four additional bytes and then we could remove the trailing comment statement." offers Michael.
"But that would take to long to develop and compute each week. We also have the time-stamp issue to worry about. This way seems fast enough and they will never notice. Let's script this up and we can get it ready for Friday's transactions." says Peter.
"No way!" says Samir shaking his head. "I'm not going to spend my life in a PMITA Federal prison. We have good jobs and no reason to do this."
"Of course we have a reason to do this. Didn't you see the TPS memo that Lumburgh sent out?" asks Peter.
"Yes, but what does that have to do with anything?" ask Simar.
"Everything." exclaims Peter. "That dumb ass Lumburgh reused a memo that he sent to the Mr. Roop as a template for the memo that he sent to us. I noticed the 'deleted' text in the document when I was watching the wireless traffic. This is what he put in the memo to Mr.
Mr. Roop,
It has been six months since I was brought on board here at Initrode and, I might add, I'm happy as a clam being on your team. Per your sage advice, I've waited several months before initiating any type of downsizing activity within my team, because, as you so wisely point out, coming on board and immediately cleaning house could appear badly to the employees. So, now that it is my six month anniversary, I want to get the go-ahead from you to remove some troublemakers and dead wood that Simmons stuck me with before his retirement.
I would recommend discharging the following employees:
Peter Gibbons – Peter is habitually late, lacks focus, has a bad attitude (as demonstrated by his failure to participate in Hawaiian Shirt Friday) and has repeatedly failed to put cover sheets on his TPS reports.
Samir Nagheenanajar – I don't trust this one. He appears to be from some sort of middle-eastern country and I believe he may be plotting against Initrode. Also, he constantly undermining my authority by correcting my pronunciation of his last name.
Michael Bolton – When I worked at Initech, we had an employee who snapped and was responsible for starting the fire that destroyed the company. Bolton reminds me of that employee. He's always getting upset with the office equipment and muttering under his breath at it—a sure sign of a psychotic personality
I am currently planning to discharge these employees when their current project is complete.
How is your lovely wife and how are the kids? Hope to see you at the country club this weekend.
"Mr. Roop, as in VP of Software Development, Mr. Roop?" Michael asks rhetorically.
"Yes." says Peter. "Which is why we need to get this implemented.
Lumburgh is such a suck-up!"
"Oh, we are going to be in so much trouble." groans Samir. "and it is not my fault if no one in this country can ever pronounce my name right. It's not that hard: Samir Na-gheen-an-a-jar. Nagheenanajar."
"Yeah, well at least your name isn't Michael Bolton." says Michael.
"Now come here and help me, we've got to get this working. You know Peter, if they would have just used a cryptographically secure algorithm like MD5, we would not be here working on this."
"You are such an idiot." Samir says to Michael. "Didn't you see Charlotte's Web 1.1, the director's cut? Charlotte had faked her death. She and Geography Ants used a multi-collision flaw in the MD5 algorithm to save Wilbur and expand her consulting business."
But Peter is no longer paying attention. He is steadily working on his scripts thinking about all the money they are going to make...

I just finished raising 4 Cordovan Italian queens from mother queens that appear to be pure mated (their workers and the 4 virgin queens are all Cordovan colored). Two of these virgin queens are in full-size hives and two are in nucs (I introduced them by inserting mature queen cells). I am fairly confident they will only have local drones to mate with so their workers should appear pretty much like my other local bees and only their drones should all show Cordovan coloring.
My local bees have always been fairly nervous types, running on the combs and queens hiding, sometimes somewhat defensive (especially between flows), the new colonies of Cordovan Italians are quite a contrast. I open their hives, no smoke, none fly up to greet me. I lift their combs and they are practically immobile. I can work my way through the hive and the queen is even calmly laying away (simple to locate). What a delight. Next year I will see if they can produce and tolerate the mites like my local bees.
To produce some open mated Cordovan queens is a test I'm doing to see how the "Mutts" can produce and what other traits they will keep from their mothers. At least the queens are still a beautiful golden color. The fact that their workers won't be should make finding the queens, when desired, even easier.

What a great find!
Welcome to the Quilting Board!
What a great find!
no act of kindness, no matter how small, is ever wasted. Aesop
Beautiful quilt! So glad you can save at least part of it!
Wow, that is a treasure! Good for you for saving it from a terrible end.
Lori - MamaBear
I was told at a lecture at the library on antique quilts that many times they use an old quilt as a batting for a new quilt top. The old saying is "waste not...want not. It was a very interesting lecture. They asked that we take our old quilts with us and she would tell us something about them. I have 2 old quilts so I threw them in a large grocery sack and took them along. One was dated CIRCA 1920 and was probably a memory quilt for someone's parents or grandparents because the fabric used was from both a woman's and a man's clothing. The other on was dated 1860's to 1870's. The oldest fabrics were from the 1860 being the double pinks and some of the other prints. The newest fabric was dated 1876 and was a print put out for the United States Centenial. Needless, to say, I did not throw them in the grocery sack but carried them very carefully back home with me.
Lucky you...wonderful piece of history.
What a treasure. Just goes to show .. you just never know what lies beneath the surface.
wow, and to think that you uncovered it.
That's beautiful! Glad you saved it.
Treat people the way you want to be treated!!
oh my gosh that is beautiful!
No matter what life throws you just remember that it could ALWAYS be worse....

looking at a 12 ton twenty foot deck goose neck trailer.
Here are my questions, how much tonue weight is there, if say, you had 168 hives (7 pallet rows) of bees on?
Does anyone use a donkey (three wheel loader) and attach it to the back of the trailer?
Do you need a dual tire one ton or would a single tire one ton work?
Thanks Keith

Discussion in 'Other Hoops Talk' started by Dumars4Ever, Aug 22, 2007.
Lebraun...i heard the game started off slow. This game is not a guage what so ever.
The team is pretty good. The addition of Kobe is a big one. Chaunce, Tay, and Mike Miller too. They said Kobe lost 18 lbs or something since last year. He looked much slimmer and was a real pest on defense. Very Lindsey Hunter-like in his tenacity. With D-Ho cleaning up the shots around the hoop, I don't see how any team in this tourney can give them a scare.
tay got the most minutes vs, VEN
Do you have a box score of the game? I couldn't locate one.
box score
Thanks, I was wondering how many pts Lebrxn had.
What's up with the deranged Sesame Street character at the top of that official web page?
Yeah, Roscoe, why don't you tell us exactly how you feel about LBJ.
I see that Tay is still practicing his 3 ball and got his obligatory 0 offensive rebounds. Did he put on any weight this summer to help grab boards and defend the post this season?? Sorry I still have visions of him stepping aside and giving LBJ a free pass to the bucket in game 5........
The only one with more boards than Tay was D-Ho.
I know he got five boards on the defensive end which is good...but after five years I want to see if he has expanded his game with some mental toughness and not still being the passive one offensively. In other words if he can make this FIBA team show some consistency and see if he can join these guys in February at the NBA Allstar game.....ya know what I mean... Can he finally be the defensive stopper and still be the consistent 3rd scoring option when Sheed or CB take the night off...
I thought Rip was the Pistons first option?
There is a reason Tay led the team in minutes. The announcers talked about how awestruck (insert Duke coach's name) was when he saw Tay in practice. They said he considered Tay to have the highest bball IQ on the team and was the glue that will keep it together. Could have been Walton hyperbole, but he wasn't complimenting the Pistons too much on the night. In fact he had several rants about how much we are going to suck this year.
We are going to suck this year. Suck the air out of Walton's lungs!
I think billy walton just likes to hear himself talk
Delfino was 1/7 but contibuted 2 reb, 2 stls and 4 ast in a win. Looks like business as usual...good contributions marred by abysmal shooting.
Also, a nice comeback game from Arroyo. 16 pts, 8 ast, 5 rebs. I watched that US game last night and fell asleep when we were up 50+ points. Jason Kidd is unusually effective when surrounded by a bunch of athletic freaks. And again, Kobe's intensity is scary.
Also of particular interest to us should be the rebounding display by Tay. 2007 FIBA Americas Championship 12 rebounds in only 19 minutes. The next highest total on the team was 6. So, Tay got 9.5% of the minutes and nabbed 31% of the rebounds. For a skinny forward, that is some hard work.
Picking up right where he left off shooting too - 14%. Pretty nice distribution of minutes by Coach K. P.S. Prince is averaging more minutes than anyone else on the team.

If my memory of the waiver process is correct, for the CWS to get an NL waived player that all the NL teams including the Reds of Cincinnati would have had to have passed on him first.
Dumb teams do dumb things. The Pirates are a dumb team, particularly the clowns they have in the front office.
I think it is more revealing that the team that drafted and developed him has passed up multiple opportunities to bring him back into the fold. When a team who knows a guy well and believes in his potential, they will often look to pick him back up and 'fix' whatever they perceive to have gone wrong with him. Walt passing on him tells me that he wasn't all that sold on his potential in the first place.

He'll probably be all right.
170+ replies and 5,000+ views. i'm sure Zach Stewart wishes he had stats like that.

yes, this really is how we make our living.
- The historians (Getting Rolen was the Reds most important trade acquisition since . . .);
- The intangibilists (Trading EdEs intangibles for Rolens transformed the franchise . . .);
- The lineup carders (The Reds needed a cleanup hitter to Dusty-proof the lineup);
- The grass-is-greeners (I cant count how many times I wished we could have run Roenicke out to the mound instead of Ondrusek . . .);
- The money-doesnt-matterers (The Reds should have kept Rolen *and* EdE);
- The dogmatics (TWO Cy Youngs? More like twelve! Hes that good. I'm not sure why you are doubting it. Every scout knew it.);
- The recordites (Pre-Rolen record bad. Post-Rolen record good. QED.)
- The gotcha patrol (Yeah, Doug, you spend more time watching and following the Reds organization that anyone except maybe 72 and 21, and you were right about Mes and Stubbs and more players than I can count, but this time you were wrong HA!);
- The beer leaguers (Left field? Of course EdE can handle it! The Jays only kept him at DH because they were expecting big things from Joe Inglett. I see him as athletic enough for short, even.)
- The prospect hounds (Well, sure, Jocketty last traded away a worthwhile prospect in 2006, and youre right, Stewart doesnt look like anything special, and I have to admit, in retrospect it does look as if the Reds accelerated him through the system so fast that no one got to face him twice but Im telling you that there were two weeks in 2009 when he could have been traded straight up for Evan Longoria.); and
- The crystal ballers (Look EdE is a 40-HR talent. Sure, it took three years, and youre right, he could have been obtained in 2010 for half a bucket of spit, and he lacks a position on the Reds, and I have to admit that arbitration would have bumped his salary immensely had the Reds held on to him but a good GM would have foreseen all that and planned accordingly.)
Its not just good times - it's great times for all. I love every bit of this discussion, every single time it happens.
but playing percentages, 170+ replies and 1,000+ in the last couple years of this message board puts you in (i use pitcher stats only) the territory of: Dennis Martinez, Dennis Eckersley, Dave Staub, Jimmy Key, Babe Ruth, Brett Saberhagen, Bob Lemon, Warren Spahn, Dave Stewart, et all part of the world in terms of success.

William Hale Crocker, 31, of Willits, pleaded guilty last week to the first-degree murder of Joseph Litteral, 40, and the attempted murder of Brandon Haggett, 20, both of Willits. Crocker was one of four men involved in the August 2011 attempted armed robbery and kidnapping at the crowded Lake Mendocino Bushay Campground that turned fatal.
Crocker is scheduled for sentencing February 1. The minimum sentence likely is 25-years-to-life.
Crocker is the last of the four men to be sentenced. Crocker fired the .45-caliber pistol that killed Litteral and critically wounded Haggett. While Crocker was not the only one armed, he was the only one who fired a weapon.
The tragedy began after Marvin Douglas Johnson, Jr., 34, recruited three of his transient lifestyle buddies?Crocker, Simon Thornton, 23, and Arone Joseph (A.J.) Schnebly, 41?to help him kidnap his estranged wife, Deborah Cano-Johnson, then drove them to the campground to rob the group Cano-Johnson was with. Johnson lied to his cohorts, telling them there was money and marijuana at the campground. Johnson knew his wife was at the campground, along with children and families.
Johnson and his three accomplices were members of Willits' transient society, panhandling around town to get money for alcohol, partying in the creeks during the summer with the area's resident homeless. All were well known to Willits police.
Litteral and Haggett also were members of a transient lifestylye group, staying with a group of about 10, including Cano-Johnson, in a single Willits motel room. Johnson's constant harassing phone calls caused them to relocate to the campground. There the group swelled to about 15 men, women and children. The adults drank beer and smoked pot, partying late into the night.
Johnson and his cohorts borrowed a car from Schnebly's nephew the night of the murder. They stopped by Crocker's trailer to pick up the .45-caliber pistol and 12-gauge shotgun before driving to the campground. Thornton brought his weapon of choice to the party, an aluminum baseball bat.
Johnson drove the borrowed car into the campsite at high speed, slammed on the brakes and slid to a stop just as the Litteral group was beginning to make dinner. Four men jumped out of the car, armed with a shotgun, a handgun and a baseball bat. Two men had bandanas over their faces.
Johnson stayed with the car, yelling for Cano-Johnson to come with him, letting the three armed men handle the group.
Eyewitness accounts of many of the details of what happened next vary, except for the most important points. Thornton bashed both Haggett and Litteral with his bat, breaking Litteral's arm and dazing Haggett so he was unable to wrestle the pistol away from Crocker. Crocker then shot Haggett point blank in the chest with his pistol.
Litteral attempted to prevent Crocker from shooting Haggett again. Crocker then shot Litteral point blank in the chest. Litteral died at Ukiah Valley Medical Center.
Once the shots were fired, the four invaders abandoned all thoughts of robbery and kidnapping, piling back into the borrowed car and driving away at high speed. They dumped the weapons in a blackberry bramble in Potter Valley, split up and returned to their transient lifestyle.
From campground witnesses, detectives learned the identity of the four robbers. Johnson was picked up the next day by Ukiah police. He quickly led detectives to the location of the stashed guns, and also confirmed the identity of his accomplices, attempting to distance himself from any involvement in the robbery or gunplay.
Johnson insisted on a jury trial in June 2012 and seemed surprised when the jury found him guilty of first-degree murder for his participation in the crime. He is now serving 300 months-to-life in prison.
When Willits police learned Thornton, Schnebly and Crocker were involved, they immediately went to the creek between Willits Daily Bread and Mariposa Market to find them. The transients typically gather there each afternoon, waiting for the soup kitchen to open.
Thornton was there and ran, only to be tackled by a Willits officer near Jack in the Box. Although Thornton was offered a plea deal for voluntary manslaughter and attempted murder involving a 180-month sentence, he decided to take his chances on a jury trial. The jury found him guilty of first-degree murder and he is now serving a 408-month-to-life sentence.
Schnebly was caught by Willits police a month after the murder after he was spotted driving in town. Schnebly accepted the original plea deal for voluntary manslaughter and is now serving a 180-month prison sentence. Due to the violence involved, he must serve 85 percent of the sentence before release.
Crocker was the last one caught. He was hiding in the Willits Mill Street apartments disguised as a woman when arrested in September 2011.

I saw this a little while ago and was likewise intrigued so I talked to VAMarine about it and he pointed out this link and had the following to say:
The Michael Bane Blog: Remington II
"It's brand new and as far as I know hasn't started shipping yet. It's of the "GI" flavor, but at least offers a dovetailed front sight. Also of note is the short trigger. Word is that it uses the Colt style firing pin safety which I do prefer over other mechanical variations however I feel that Springfield and the "custom" guys do the right thing with light firing pins and heavier firing pin springs. The R1 is also Carbon Steel and not stainless, not a big issue to me but some prefer stainless over carbon.
I'd give it a pass until some more reviews come out, but I'm not overly enthused about it. Almost everyone makes a 1911 and it takes more than a Modernized GI to make my heart sing. "
