Re: Wouldn't it be cool?
I make something sort of like tartiflette but it's in a pie crust with Gruyere. Most of the other ingredients are the same (potatoes, bacon, cream, etc.). At least, it looks pretty much the same based on my quick Google search. It's one of my favorite dishes because it's so filling that it lasts forever and I get to eat it for the next few days for lunch as well (a small piece fills everyone up, so we have leftovers for at least a couple of days). So, I'd be up for making that soon - I love it so much that I think it's good cold as well.
Edit: Oh, now I see the pictures mummza posted but I can't see how to see the recipe?

It was Kye that started the tarttiflette , she mentioned it when she was talking about the English coming to stay with her.
I had never realised that the dish that I remember eating with my Grandmother had a name till then !
I did not use a recipe , I just made it as I have done so in the past.
I have made it with Camembert and Brie in that past ,but the proper cheese to use is reblochon .

Ganga Dasara, also known as Maa Ganga Dashara, is a 10-day festival dedicated to Goddess Ganga (River Ganga or
Ganges). In 2017, Ganga Dashara festival date is from May 26 to June 3. The festival is celebrated during the first ten days of the Jyeshta Month (May – June) – the first 10 days during the Shukla Paksha (waxing phase of moon).
It is believed that Goddess Ganga touched the earth on the 10th day of the Shukla Paksha of Jyeshta (June 3, 2017). Legend has it that King Bhagirath performed intense austerities to bring down
Ganga on to earth so that his ancestors are relieved of their sins. Finally, Ganga descended from heaven and Lord Shiva held Her in his matted locks so that the power of Goddess does not destroy the earth. She then traveled to earth purifying all that she touched.
Numerous ceremonies are held on the occasion including pujas, prayers and other rituals. In recent years, with human greed destroying and polluting Ganga, there are special meetings and padyatras held on the occasion to highlight the importance of
Ganga and the need to protect it.
It must be noted that the day
Ganga descended on earth is observed differently in different regions. In some regions it is observed as Ganga Saptami and in some regions on the Akshaya Tritiya day.

It's just refreshing to see someone so young come along - loaded with talent - heading in the right direction.

I too have really enjoyed Mira's skating. However, I believe the reason that she didn't get past BC Sections as Novice or Junior was because her "triple" jumps were underrotated. She only seems to be fully rotating her jumps within the last couple years. Even at Canadians 2003 in Saskatoon, most of her jumps weren't fully rotated (and she was definately a "crowd favourite" there).Originally Posted by lotusland
I always expected that once she corrected this problem, she would be right up there with the top skaters.

Thanks, Tom.

Hi Todd,
I use Stata 8 and I cannot touch strings with more that 80 chars. If
I'm not mistaken this is not the case for newer releases... so i use a
dummy example with less than 80 chars below... I presume this would
work in Stata 9/10 - if not don't shoot me.
e.g., use
1 Str A|Str B|Str C|Str D
2 Str A|Str B|Str D
3 Str D
A. change the spaces to underscores in a clone variable, and then the
"|" to spaces. The -wordcount- and -word- functions of Stata use
spaces to parse (if someone knows how to use a different separator in
these functions, this step is superfluous.)
. gen newString = subinstr(originalString," ", "_",.)
. replace newString = subinstr(newString,"|", " ",.)
B. get the maximum number of "words" per record
. gen howMany = wordcount(newString)
. summ howMany
.forval i=1/`howMany' {
. gen des_`i' = word(newString,`i')
This gives you
des_1 des_2 des_3 des_4
Str_A Str_B Str_C Str_D
Str_A Str_B Str_D
C. You can easily restore the spaces in the strings in des_1 to des_4
by changing the underscores back to spaces.
D. However, are you sure you want this as a final step? If you want to
have e.g. 4 dummies (one for Str_A, one for Str_B etc.):
str_a str_b str_c str_d
1 1 1 1
1 1 0 1
0 0 0 1
you would have to continue with reshaping long per record and then
back again reshaping wide per content of the string variable... Some
-encode-ing will probably necessary also in the meanwhile...
That being said I'd do the "silly way" (using python or vim or sed) to
manipulate the strings outside Stata...

Former CRU chief admits warming may not be unprecedented
posted at 10:54 am on February 14, 2010 by Ed Morrissey
In a rather stunning series of admissions, the suspended chief of the East Anglia CRU now admits that the warming seen in the late 20th century may not be unprecedented after all, that the planet has stopped warming for the last 15 years despite the predictions of AGW advocates, and that his own record-keeping has been poor. Phil Jones, who stepped down at least temporarily from his position at the CRU when its e-mails exposed a series of embarrassing attempts by climate scientists to undermine careers of skeptics and to hide contradictory data, now says that the entire basis of the "hockey stick" graph could have been invalid:
The academic at the centre of the 'Climategate' affair, whose raw data is crucial to the theory of climate change, has admitted that he has trouble 'keeping track' of the information.
Colleagues say that the reason Professor Phil Jones has refused Freedom of Information requests is that he may have actually lost the relevant papers. … The data is crucial to the famous 'hockey stick graph' used by climate change advocates to support the theory.
But that's just the start:
Professor Jones also conceded the possibility that the world was warmer in medieval times than now – suggesting global warming may not be a man-made phenomenon.
And he said that for the past 15 years there has been no 'statistically significant' warming. …
And he said that the debate over whether the world could have been even warmer than now during the medieval period, when there is evidence of high temperatures in northern countries, was far from settled.
Sceptics believe there is strong evidence that the world was warmer between about 800 and 1300 AD than now because of evidence of high temperatures in northern countries.
But climate change advocates have dismissed this as false or only applying to the northern part of the world.
Professor Jones departed from this consensus when he said: 'There is much debate over whether the Medieval Warm Period was global in extent or not. The MWP is most clearly expressed in parts of North America, the North Atlantic and Europe and parts of Asia.
'For it to be global in extent, the MWP would need to be seen clearly in more records from the tropical regions and the Southern hemisphere. There are very few palaeoclimatic records for these latter two regions.
'Of course, if the MWP was shown to be global in extent and as warm or warmer than today, then obviously the late 20th Century warmth would not be unprecedented. On the other hand, if the MWP was global, but was less warm than today, then the current warmth would be unprecedented.'
The "hockey stick" graph has already been shown to be mainly a creation of graph-scaling bias, but this gets to the heart of the entire argument. During the MWP, farmers grew crops on Greenland for a couple of centuries. Until now, AGW advocates insisted that the warming only took place in the northern hemisphere. If that warming was indeed global, then it dwarfs anything seen in the 20th century, as these two charts from Climate Audit, via Sonic Frog, demonstrate:
If the massive warming seen in Europe occurred around the world, then what we have seen in the 20th century would be almost certainly a moderate, natural, cyclical warming coming out of a cold trough. It would also call into question what exactly a good temperature would be for the Earth. After all, even if the second graph only applied to the northern hemisphere, the increased temperatures didn't cause the end of life on the planet; indeed, food became more plentiful, and the melting of the polar-region ice didn't create massive catastrophes. Further underscoring this interpretation are the cooling cycles seen in the mid-century and last fifteen years or so, expecially since the 1940s saw a huge increase in carbon emissions due to wartime production.
Jones' late admissions demonstrate that there is nothing "settled" about AGW, and that the process and the data are too murky for any declarations of certainty.

Health Beat: Lifesaving tests for newborns
LOS ANGELES - Every year, more than four million babies are born in the United States. All of them are screened for certain health conditions, but the tests your baby receives depends on the state in which you live.
Today, baby Gael is happy and healthy, but just hours after he was born, his parents got devastating news.
"It was really hard to hear," said Luvy Rodriquez, Gael's mom.
"I was just destroyed," said Davis Villegas, Gael's dad.
Gael had a serious congenital heart defect and needed major surgery.
"It was the worst six hours I have ever been through," Davis said.
The operation was a success and Gael's parents feel lucky that a newborn screening test detected the problem before they even left the hospital.
"It can be dangerous and even life-threatening if they are sent home without being diagnosed," said Dr. Gregory Perens, pediatric cardiologist, Mattel Children's Hospital UCLA.
Pulse oximetry takes just a few minutes and is the only screening for heart defects, but tests like this aren't mandatory everywhere. Each state screens for anywhere from four to 30 disorders.
The sickle cell screening detects the blood disorder that occurs in about one in every 500 African American births.
The infant hearing screening is performed in most, but not all states. If yours doesn't offer it, get your baby screened within three weeks of birth.
The cystic fibrosis screening can help doctors detect and treat lung and nutritional problems sooner.
Also, the toxoplasmosis test detects an infection that can invade the brain, eye and muscle. It affects one in 1,000 babies, but less than a handful of states screen for it.
Baby Gael's parents are grateful that the newborn test picked up his problem before it was too late.
"Every day that we have him, and every month that he turns one more month we thank God that we have him," Luvy said.
The American Academy of Pediatrics recently called for a more standardized newborn screening program. To find out what newborn illnesses your state screens for, go to babysfirsttest.org.

University of Tennessee sophomore Caitlin Ward finished the day with an 800-meter run victory in the Sea Ray Relays Heptathlon, but it was South Carolina's Chelsea Hammond who claimed the overall title, tallying 5,405 points Thursday to hand the Gamecocks their second win in Knoxville in the past three years.
Hammond, the winner of the Tony Wilson Memorial Award for field events in 2003 with a long jump triumph at Sea Rays, met the NCAA provisional standard en route to victory in the heptathlon this time around and echoed the first-place effort of Tacita Bass in 2002. Speaking of Bass, the former USC standout settled for runner-up accolades with 5,365 points.
Hammond's event results on day two included second in the long jump at 19-9.75/6.04m (862 pts.), seventh in the javelin throw at 84-9/25.84m (398 pts.) and fifth in the 800-meter run at 2:24.17 (768 pts.).
Ward, competing in her second career heptathlon, charted her highest point total to date, taking ninth place with 4,567 points and improving from her 12th-place SEC tally of 4,340 in 2003. Over the past two days, the Gibsonia, Pa., native registered career heptathlon bests in five of the seven events.
The second-year performer began the day with an 11th-place finish in the long jump, where she collected 634 points for a leap of 17-3.50/5.27m with a legal wind of 1.8 meters per second. Next, she landed a best heave of 70-6/21.49m in the javelin throw to garner 317 points and place 10th. She closed the competition with a personal-record time of 2:19.98 in the 800-meter run to finish first and round up 824 points. Her time eclipsed her previous outdoor PR of 2:31.04.
Edra Finley, meanwhile, finished in 14th place overall after suffering a no height in the high jump on Wednesday. The Mobile, Ala., product started the second day of her first
collegiate heptathlon with a fourth-place result of 18-7.25/5.67m in the long jump. The mark, though wind-aided by a 2.1 mps gust, was good for 750 points. Finley then
placed 12th and obtained 283 points in the javelin throw with a mark of 64-7/19.68m. To wrap things up, the rookie scooped up 644 points for a ninth-place result of 2:33.93
in the 800m.
Friday's competition will begin at 8:45 a.m. with the open and invitational women's hammer throws, followed by the women's discus at 12:15 p.m. and the open women's 5000 meters at 12:20 p.m. to send day three into full swing. The final women's event is the 10,000 meters at 7:45 p.m., while the last men's contest is the 9:20 p.m. invitational hammer throw.
Saturday's slate opens at 9:15 a.m. with the men's open hammer, but the first women's event doesn't take place until the shuttle hurdle relay at 12:40 p.m. The final day wraps up at 5:25 p.m. and 5:45 p.m. with the women's and men's 4x400m relays, respectively.

NetScreen VPN with Pre-Shared key
Set up a VPN with a NetScreen using a preshared key walkthrough (using the web interface) of a route-based VPN solution between two NetScreens:
Firewall A -> Internet -> Firewall B
1. Log into Firewall A through the web interface
2. Configure your tunnel interface
• Click Network -> Interfaces
• Make sure the dropdown in the top left says Tunnel IF, and click New
• I put mine in the Untrust zone because I want all of my VPN traffic to run through my Untrust->Trust policy
• Click unnumbered and select the Untrust interface
• click OK
3. Configure your VPN Gateway
• Click VPNs -> AutoKey Advanced -> Gateway
• click New
• Name the gateway "FirewallB-gw"
I always select the custom security level, you'll see why in a following step
• Enter the public IP address of Firewall B
• Carefully enter your preshared key
• Select Untrust for your outgoing interface
• Click Advanced
• Select User defined (custom)
• In the first dropdown select pre-g2-aes128-sha
• Click Return at the bottom
• Click OK at the bottom
4. Create the VPN
• on the menu on the left select VPNs -> Autokey Advanced
• click New
• name it FirewallB-vpn
• select Custom
• leave predefined checked and select your FirewallB-GW in the dropdown
• click Advanced
• select Custom
• In the first dropdown, select g2-esp-aes128-sha
• Turn on replay protection
• Bind to tunnel interface, and select your tunnel interface you created in step 2
• Turn on VPN monitor (this will bring up the VPN right away and keep it up even when there's no traffic on it)
• Click Return
• Click OK
5. You need to add routes to the remote network. You can configure the tunnel interfaces to run OSPF, or you can add a static. I will tell you how to add a static.
• On the menu click Network -> Routing -> Destination
• Click new
• Type in the network address behind Firewall B
• Select Gateway
• Select your tunnel interface in the dropdown
• Click ok
6. Add your policy to allow access to/from the remote network. If you are not in NAT mode on your trust interface, make sure you check position at top when creating a Trust->Untrust rule, or it will NAT the traffic to your Untrust IP or DIP pool and then send it across the tunnel, which you probably don't want. Create an Untrust->Trust policy which allows access from the Network behind Firewall B to hosts or the network behind Firewall B. You probably want to allow Ping at a minimum.
7. Repeat steps 1-6 on Firewall B. Substituting Firewall A's data.
The VPN should pop up and everything should work. You can also use the little wizard. If one or both of your NetScreens is behind something that does NAT, you will also have to turn on NAT traversal on both ends.
If you don't want static routes and want to use OSPF instead, create an OSPF instance under the trust VR. Make sure you add the tunnel interfaces and your internal interfaces to it, and tell it to advertise your private networks. You will then have to go under each interface that you added, and turn on OSPF. On tunnel interfaces, you can enable demand circuit and add it to the area, apply the changes, and then Enable OSPF on it.

I am a mascara FREAK. I have tried countless numbers of lengthening, strengthening, water proof, high end, low end mascaras, lash lengthening treatments, Latisse, eye lash dyes, YOU NAME IT, all in the sake of having beautiful, curled, long lashes. This mascara is the perfect formal to give you long lashes without insane clumping. This mascara is not going to physically add on those weird clumps to the tips of your lashes that, while making you look like you have spider webs for lashes, lengthen them. BUT if you are looking for a simple, 2 step (curl then apply product) this mascara will give you back your sanity and be a solid simple step. I will probably not try another mascara again. Love this brand and especially this mascara.5
Being a swim instructor, I am always on the lookout for a good mascara that will not rub off despite splashing and swimming. I don't normally wear mascara when I know I will be swimming because I don't want to get the dreaded "raccoon eyes" and scare poor little 3 year olds. When I forgot to take it off, I was surprised to see NO smearing whatsoever! Instead, it sorta "flakes" off like most of the Clinique mascaras do. This might be annoying to some, but I would rather have mascara fleck off than smeared emo-eyes. Overall, this is a great, long wearing mascara that is just fine to get wet and perfect for a long day.4
this mascara makes me feel bad in a good way. it's magically inky, and i like that wet formula. i have always enjoyed a curved brush, and felt comfortable in my hand. also the wand wasn't too long like some wands. this feels like a professional high end product, made for rockstars like me. it is a special mascara, and worth the money. love it!5

Joy and Jonathan first met at Caribou, so it made perfect sense to theme their wedding around something they both loved...coffee! From the cake to the coffee bar to coffee beans in the centerpieces, the details were exquisite. They are simply an adorable couple, and the happiness that surrounded them was so genuine and full of love. But, most adorable of all is their son Caelum, who was the handsomest

Reviews of this property
It was perfect, specially the location, we couldn't choose a better location in prague, 5minutes walkin from any interesting point. Check-in is done by a reception, so we didn't meet the owners. We didn't have any problem, in fact they were very kind, but it is just a point to take into account.
Location is magic, really central. App its also very good, big and clean. The only problem was that in Apartment, witch with us Wall sheared , was so noisy, Party all the night , that we couldn't sleep at all.
Great location, in the heart of the old town. Close to all the important objects of Prague and key squares of the capital. Also close to shopping handlowych.Przestronne, nice, clean apartment, equipped with everything needed for normal functioning outside the home. The drawback is a small bathroom, which lacks shelves and hooks for hanging, eg. Towels. Sometimes too loud sometimes, especially when in neighboring apartments Englishmen stop. Despite everything, however, I recommend a nice spot in the shade church. Jacob :) We spent a wonderful week! Agnes and John
Świetna lokalizacja, w sercu Starego Miasta. Blisko do wszystkich ważnych obiektów Pragi i kluczowych placów stolicy. Blisko też do centrów handlowych.Przestronne, ładne, czyste mieszkanie, wyposażone we wszystko, co potrzebne do normalnego funkcjonowania poza domem. Mankamentem jest mała łazienka ,w której brak półeczek i haczyków do zawieszenia np. ręczników. Czasem też bywa głośno, zwłaszcza, kiedy w sąsiednich apartamentach zatrzymują się Anglicy. Mimo wszystko jednak polecam to miłe miejsce w cieniu kościoła św. Jakuba:) Spędziliśmy tu wspaniały tydzień! Agnieszka i Jan
Best location, unbeatable. The hippest something old with moisture in the wall, the bathroom renovated though no light in the sink and the toilet seat broken.
Sign clarity in the morning because the blinds were damaged.
Lo mejor la ubicación,inmejorable. El apartamente algo viejo con humedades en la pared,el baño reformado aunque sin luz en el lavamanos y la tapa del WC estropeada.
Entra claridad por la mañana porque las persianas estaban estropeadas.
An amazing flat, huge and beautifully arranged, situated in an old style renovated building in the best location of Prague (1 min from the Old town square and 10mn from Charle's bridge.)
More than a cosy ambiance, and a great view on the terrace, you'll find all equipment you need there (wifi, hair dryer, iron board, cooking tools and more.)
The personal at reception is incredibly helpful and competent (taxi lift from the airport to the flat - way in and back -, luggage keeper and more.)
Great value for really low price, if you'r going to Prague, go there with no hesitation!
The location is very good,
but not according to booking far promises and pictures on the Internet.
- The room was very dark and kept accessible only through the bath, was a lot smaller than on the pictures and the toilet in the corridor not complete, that is, they always stood a little to (fortunately, was hardly anyone else there). The shower is blocked by a huge water heater - so you had to stand there, where no glass wall as a splash guard there is ,,, all pretty behelfsmaesig. Next, the whole place was extremely smoky, quite run down in the kitchen and in the bathroom and there was no contact with the owner, just conveyed through an agency that convey anything in Prague. The guys were nice and helpful, but the even the apartment have never seen.
The kitchen should be fully equipped, that was a joke. Otherwise it was clean and just a great location.
Anyway, we have got along, but felt very good, we do not have ourselves.
Die Lage ist sehr gut,
allerdings bei weitem nicht entsprechend den Buchungsversprechen und Bildern im Internet.
- Das Zimmer war nur durch das Bad begehbar und sehr dunkel gehalten, um einiges kleiner als auf den Bildern und die Toilette auf dem Flur war nicht abzuschliessen, das heißt sie stand immer ein wenig auf (glücklicherweise war sonst kaum jemand da). Die Dusche ist blockiert durch einen riesigen Durchlauferhitzer - also musste man da stehen, wo keine Glaswand als Spritzschutz da ist,,, alles ziemlich behelfsmaesig. Weiter war die ganze Bude extrem verraucht, ziemlich heruntergekommen in der Küche und in der Toilette und es gab keinen Kontakt mit dem Vermieter, nur eine Vermittlung über eine Agentur, die alles mögliche in Prag vermitteln. Die Jungs waren nett und hilfsbereit, allerdings haben die selbst das Apartment noch nie gesehen.
Die Küche sollte voll ausgerüstet sein, das war ein Witz. Ansonsten war es sauber und eben in toller Lage.
Jedenfalls sind wir zurecht gekommen, aber richtig wohl gefühlt haben wir uns nicht.
Delighted stay, great room and wonderfully located. NB: I was transferred Dusni street near Templova, chb including bathrooms and amenities
Ravie du séjour, chambre superbe et merveilleusement bien située. NB : J'ai été transférée rue Dusni, proche de Templova, chb comprenant sdb et commodités
Reviews for this host's other properties
The Holiday flat lies directly in the centre of the "old town", perfect for various sightseeing trips in this beautiful City. We had 4 double-bed rooms and 2 bathrooms, necessary for our 7 persons. The rooms are big and the ceilings were high. The floors feature warm parkett or new Laminat. All rooms have been very clean.
Only the bathrooms´ sanitary installation and shower curtain could be renovated to improve the all in all good Impression.
Very nice apartment. Good location with Metro and tram by the door. Access to the terrace via "the roof" . Lose tiles on the floor of the terrace! Lots and lots of hangers four the close was very nice.
- Quality assured accommodation
- Every host is verified by telephone
- Secure payment via SSL encryption

Great Neighbors: Adoptive Parents
Idaho - Every week we feature people or groups who spend a few hours or days involved in a project that really helps others. But this week we focus on great neighbors who devote their life to others through adoption.
Ken and Teresa Long first thought about taking kids into their home years ago because they felt they were in a position to fill a need.
"We would see the Wednesday's Child segments all the time and get on the website and see all the kids that needed help and felt that was something we could do," Teresa said.
So they decided to start by being foster parents. They had several foster children in their homes temporarily, but there was something different about Noah and Maggie when they were sent to the the Longs for foster care two and a half years ago.
"The minute they walked through the front door it was just like, 'We love these guys,'" Teresa said. "It was instantaneous, we just felt like they were something special and we were meant to be together."
When the children became available for adoption a year later, there was no question. The Longs adopted them.
"I think it's made our family complete," Ken said.
Noah says life is better in an adoptive home and encourages more people to consider it.
"I would say you should adopt kids because then they have a better life and you will end up being lucky," Noah said.
Maggie agrees that having the Longs adopt them was a good thing.
"I like them because they're nice and they were lucky enough to get us," Maggie said.
The most touching part of my visit with the Longs was when we talked about love in the family.
"Oh, we love them very much and we want the best for them," Ken said.
"Oh, I couldn't love them more," Teresa said.
The children also talked about how much they love their parents.
"From the moon and back," Maggie said.
"More than they love me," Noah said.

Welcome to the Quilting Board!
Carpal Tunnel is actin up so I'm typin' w/my left hand. Very slow goin'. I'll be readin' but not as much postin'.
My initials are BB, so dublb is double B.
Thank you, QNS for the info (I think). I'll get my turkey at the grocery store wrapped in plastic thank you very much. And yes, QE, I knew it was wrong, but I was picturing the turkeys running around in little dresses LOL.
Imagine all the people living life in peace...(John Lennon 1940-1980)
Yes, JanRN, that is what we will do next year: Butterball turkey. (In fact, that is where our Thanksgiving Day turkey on turkey day will come from this year as I am cooking for about twenty people, so need a 23 pound bird.) Daughter needs three turkeys...one for her minister and the other we will cook with noodles for ourselves later.
JanRN ... I thought you were better to visualize dresses than !!!!
You'll never think of turkey the same again! Oh for the fringe benefits of this PC ride.
QNSue ... *gasp* you're going to BUY one? Perish the thought!!!! If they aren't big enough then just cook two!
Oh you'll have turks again next year ... think of what you will miss, if you don't!
Sew many ideas ... just sew little time!!
Since it's only DH & I for Thanksgiving dinner this year, I'll just buy a turkey breast. Even that will last a few days but the leftovers, esp stuffing are my favorites. I always make twice as much stuffing as I need because I love it cold (keep going to fridge and forking some out and then wonder why my pants are snug).
I've never made turkey soup but it sounds good. Is it made the same way as you make chicken soup? Any thing added or done differently? I may make some with the leftovers. I make some type of soup 2-3 times per week. I bow to the inventor of the crock pot!
Imagine all the people living life in peace...(John Lennon 1940-1980)
Ok, JanRN, need your turkey stuffing recipe...please?
I'll second that ... all hail the Crockpot Inventor!
JanRN ... I often do the same as you, and just cook a turkey breast if it's just one or two guests. Even do it for myself when solo. Fire up two crocks ... one with the turkey, the other with the stuffing/dressing. When larger gatherings, and wants lots, .... stuff the bird and a crock (or two!)
American Thanksgiving .... this next Thursday 11/22?
Then Black Friday which I am thinking is a stat holiday too?
Canadian Thanksgiving as you may remember was last month ... 2nd Monday of October and is a stat holiday.
Sew many ideas ... just sew little time!!
I will miss not making Thanksgiving Turkey Soup this year...We are leaving for NC right after Turkey Day and my son will get all the leftovers...I generally roast a 20 lb bird so we can have leftovers for sandwiches, etc...
I remove all the stuffing from the bird right after roasting....When we're done eating that evening I take as much of the meat off as I can & break up the carcass...When it's time to make the soup I place all the bones & skin in a very large pot at least 12 quarts.... cover the bones with broth or water and simmer it all until it all falls apart...then remove the bones & pieces of skin...don't strain it...all the nooks & crannies that held the stuffing will become part of this fantastic soup...I will then add all the fresh
veggies..carrots,celery,onions,potatoes,mushrooms, parsley...I season it with Bell's Poultry Seasoning...optional salt & pepper. I also add a cup of barley....If I know I won't be using the leftover gravy & stuffing any more I will throw that in too...at this point the soup & will be thick you will have to add more broth or water.....this is not a this soup but you don't want it to be gloppy...This is how my mom used to make it and everyone in my family expects a quart when it's done...

QuiltE...you make me laugh. I've seen dresses on concrete gooses but never on live turkeys!
Jan...I too love the dressing and make extra. Yes turkey soup is like making chicken soup. I learned from a wonderful German lady that stock made with the bones...and the secret ingredient was a couple cloves of garlic...could not be beat. I don't do that often now for just the two of us but it is worth it.
QuiltE...yes Thanksgiving is the fourth Thursday in November for us in the states and is a national holiday. Most companies also give Friday as an official vacation day and merchandisers have taken advantage of it and have used that day to kick off the Christmas season with huge sales. Calling it black has something to do with stores being in the black for the year from that point on. They are already advertising Black Friday prices and getting an early jump on the sales. Shopping has become a national pastime in the states. It's really sad.
Honchey...we were posting at the same time and your Thanksgiving soup sounds absolutely wonderful

Honchey ... toss your carcass etc. into the freezer. I know a lot of people who do that and then just make it when they have the time and interest sometime later.
As for me and Turkey/Chicken Soup ... I have given up on making it! I make lots of soups with success, and yet Turkey and Chicken just never seem to turn out in all the times and ways I have tried. I have now officially declared it to be a no-make for me ............ unless I use the boxes of store bought broth with the meat and veggie add-ins, which to me isn't really "making" it!
GGal ... I thought it was better for JanRN, than the cold hard truth!
Where I live, we can be in the States in 2 hrs at Niagara Falls ...... add on border crossing time though!
So there are a lot from this area that head south for BF.
Not me, as I don't enjoy the crowds ... and besides, I want to know if that if I want to return stuff, that I can do so.
Interesting enough, the Canadian retailers are now trying to capture the BF business, and encouraging people to stay home and buy here. Granted, I doubt they end up with some of the phenomenal prices that we hear about south of the border.

Story highlights
- Traveler Richard Dunn made a music video that went viral while stuck at the airport
- iReporters shared photos of how they kill time while waiting to board their flight
- Readers reveal they've played soccer and practiced flying a plane while at the airport
Last year at airports across the world 18% of flights were delayed, leaving millions of passengers stuck with a lot of time on their hands.
Most of us can kill time at airports with a bit of shopping or the distractions provided by our smartphones, but some instead choose to get creative.
Richard Dunn is a case in point. Earlier this month, he found himself stuck overnight as Las Vegas' McCarran International Airport, and decided to pass the time by shooting a music video of himself lip-synching the Celine Dion cover of "All by Myself." Shortly after posting it on Vimeo, the video went viral.
We asked our readers to submit images of them killing time, and found that pre-boarding, they can get pretty quirky.
Make a game of it
Earlier this month, Daniel Wiersema, from Austin, Texas, was traveling with fellow members of the American Outlaws, a soccer fan club that travels to matches worldwide to show support for the USA. He was one of 530 members who flew to Brazil for the 2014 FIFA World Cup.
At George HW Bush International Airport, however, he and his fellow fans found they had time to kill before boarding.
"Myself and about eight others began passing a ball around, and it broke into a full out game," he recalls.
Do you have a photo or video demonstrating how you kill time at the airport? Share them with CNN iReport and it may be added to the gallery above.
Be a fly on the wall
Sometimes, people-watching provides its own rewards. Training consultant Nick Holyoake found this to be true while waiting around at arrivals at London's Stansted Airport. He happened to notice a woman who, despite her bright yellow dress and smiley face balloon, looked "sad and solitary", he says.
"She looked like she made such an effort for someone who was either late or never coming," Holyoake hypothesizes.
"The paradox between the bright yellow of her hopefulness and the reality that all was most likely not going smoothly grabbed me."
When he noticed her cover her face with the balloon, he couldn't help but snap a picture.
Hit the lounge
Some travelers, meanwhile, found themselves actually relishing their flight delays. Freddy Sherman, a luxury travel blogger, was so pleased with the amenities at Istanbul Ataturk Airport's CIP Lounge that he was loathe to board his flight. In addition to a spacious billiards area, the lounge also sports a golf simulator.
"I travel frequently and have experienced a lot of airport lounges, but this one constantly amazes me with all the things to see, do and eat," he says.
"I actually wanted my plane to be delayed so I could spend more time there."

Fujifilm FinePix X-S1 review: an expert compact performance from a bridge-format cameraWednesday June 27 2012 Sensor Review
The Fujifilm FinePix X-S1 faces the competition
Fujifilm FinePix X-S1 vs. Fujifilm FinePix X10: the same sensor?
In our tests on the X-S1, we see results that are extremely close to those for the X10. With just one single point between the two DxOMark Scores, the difference is insignificant, and the closeness of the scores certainly leads one to believe that the same 2/3" 12 Mpix CMOS sensor is at the heart of both of these Fuji-X cameras. Fuji has intelligently reused the same sensor in two cameras that are polar opposites to one another: on the one hand, a fairly bulky bridge with a powerful lens; and on the other, a more conventionally ergonomic expert compact endowed with a 4x focal range, bright wide-angle lens with a maximum aperture of f/2.0.
Fujifilm X-S1 vs. FinePix F600 EXR
Unsurprisingly, the X-51's bigger but lower-resolution sensor turns in a performance that is a notch higher than the Finepix F600 EXR's backlit 1/2.3" 16Mpix CMOS sensor:
- Color depth: 1 bit more
- Dynamic range: 1/2EV
- Low-light ISO: 1/2EV
But these results are still fairly flattering for the FinePix F600EXR, which acquits itself very well on the DxOMark test bench: it is far from being truly outclassed by the X-S1 despite the differences in sensor size and resolution.
Fujifilm FinePix X S1 vs. Canon PowerShot S100: 1/2EV more sensitive
Slightly larger, but on the same order as the 1/1.7" Canon S100 sensor (the benchmark for large-sensor light compacts), the Fujifilm X-S1's 2/3" CMOS sensor takes the lead with a low-light sensitivity score that is 1/2EV ahead — a significant difference attributable to its larger sensor surface size. Portrait and Landscape scores are very close.
But keep in mind that we are comparing the sensors of two cameras with radically-opposed design philosophies here: on one side, the Canon S100 is a compact APN equipped with a 5x lens (24-120mm); on the other side, we have a much heavier and bulkier bridge camera equipped with an ambitious 26x lens, and with more carefully thought-out ergonomics — less like a compact, but with a user interface similar to another large-sensor expert compact, the Canon G12.
Fujifilm FinePix X S1 vs. Sony NEX-5N
Given the difference in sensor sizes (the NEX-5N's is more than four times larger than the X-S1's), there is nothing astonishing about Sony's compact hybrid flattening the Fuji in all categories:
- Color depth: +3.2 bits
- Dynamic range: +1.5EV
- Low-light ISO: +2.3EV
However, from a strictly functional point of view, there are no Sony E lenses capable of covering the X-S1's focal range amplitude (between 24mm and 624mm).
Fujifilm X-S1 vs Canon PowerShot G1 X
As you can see from the comparative test scores, both cameras' sensor results are not as different as one might expect in terms of dynamic range. The G1 X is ahead of X-S1 in terms of color depth, with a noticeable 1.3-bit advantage to the Canon. There is also an area in which the 2/3" sensor of the X-S1 cannot compete with the sensor of the Canon G1 X: low-light sensitivity. The Canon G1 X is 2.5EV better under low-light and that will be obvious on the high ISO images of both cameras. Low-light performance is clearly the main asset of Canon's premium compact camera.

To provide photographers with a broader perspective about mobiles, lenses and cameras, here are links to articles, reviews, and analyses of photographic equipment produced by DxOMark, renown websites, magazines or blogs.
Bridge cameras often suffer from so-so image quality and cheap finishing touches. How does this premium bridge from Fuji compare to such expert compact cameras as the Canon Powershot S100 or G12? Does it use the same sensor as the Fujifilm X10? What differences in performance can we expect when pitting it against an APS-C hybrid? Here are the DxOMark.com test results for the Fujifilm FinePix X-S1.

DXOMark IS TOTALLY WRONG ON FUJI X-S1 SENSOR SIZE !!!
In commenting upon Fuji XS-1 sensor DXOMark states "[i][i] Fujifilm X-S1 gets better results than a lot of ambitious cameras, yet is not equipped with a gigantic sensor like the Olympus XZ-1, the Panasonic LX-5, or the Samsung EX-1 —cameras aimed at true photo enthusiasts[/i][/i]" : well this is an INCONCEIVABLE BLUNDER from a (supposed ??!) sensor-specialist like DXO-Mark!!
X-S1 has in fact a LARGE sensor (2/3" = 8.8 x 6.6 mm), much larger than those equipping common mega-zoom cameras, common compact cameras and even larger than those on board of most high-end compacts, including ALL those TOTALLY MIS-QUOTED by DXO-Mark: Olympus XZ-1 (1/1.63" sensor = 8.07 x 5.56 mm),Panasonic LX-5 (1/1.63"), or Samsung EX-1 (1/1.7").
DXOMark seems therefore to ignore the "inch system" expressing sensor size and completely misses the point with XS-1: by using the same sensor equipping Fuji X-10, X-S1 has the largest sensor to be found on any really compact camera until very recently. Only in June 2012 that palm passed from Fuji X-10 to Sony RX100: a true compact (213 grams) equipped with a 1" sensor (" self proclaimed compacts" such as Canon G1 X, weighing well over 500 grams, are in another league).

Re: DXOMark IS TOTALLY WRONG ON FUJI X-S1 SENSOR SIZE !!!
They are .. completely wrong!!
But the worst things is they never respond to their mistakes..
I don't know, but their testing parameters are not clear, what Mode they have setup. They did same with Fuji X10, I requested to explain what mode they setup, and if possible can they test lower resolution but Higher DR mode, they never responded and they never did anything about it... and with this camera that got same sensor they did again a very silly, ambigous test ... >:(

Re: DXOMark IS TOTALLY WRONG ON FUJI X-S1 SENSOR SIZE !!!
When we published our test results for the Fujifilm FinePix S1-X, part of the article was inadvertently left out. We would like to draw your attention to the following information:
"The Fujifilm FinePix X-S1 belongs to the Fuji X family of premium cameras, which are characterized by high-end specifications, high-quality optics, and an exemplary finish. The Fujifilm X-S1 offers a 26x lens that covers an ideal 24-684mm focal range. Its maximum aperture is quite generous for a bridge (f/2.8–5.6) and its optical formula incorporates four aspherical lens elements and two UD glass elements. In the field, photographers will appreciate its manual zoom ring. The Fuji X-S1 differs from all its competitors with its 2/3" CMOS sensor, slightly larger than the biggest (1/1.7") sensor for expert compacts (Olympus XZ-1, Panasonic Lumix DMC-LX5, Canon PowerShot S100), and 50% bigger than the usual 1/2.3" bridge sensors."
The Fujifilm X-S1 indeed has a larger sensor (2/3") than those of the Olympus XZ-1, the Panasonic LX-5, and the Samsung EX-1, to which it was compared in our test. This information does not affect the Fujifilm S1-X's score, which stands at 140th place in the DxOMark rankings and is better than the scores for these other cameras with smaller sensors.
We sincerely apologize for having omitted this information.
The DxOMark Team

Re: DXOMark IS TOTALLY WRONG ON FUJI X-S1 SENSOR SIZE !!!
That's fine, Axel.
But the current text of X-S1 review on DXO-Mark (see first page under "Sensor") still reads:
" The Fujifilm X-S1 gets better results than a lot of ambitious cameras, yet is not equipped with a gigantic sensor like the Olympus XZ-1, the Panasonic LX-5, or the Samsung EX-1 —cameras aimed at true photo enthusiasts".
That BLUNDER has been there for over a week now ....

Re: DXOMark IS TOTALLY WRONG ON FUJI X-S1 SENSOR SIZE !!!
For some reason these last couple posts about flushing reminded me of a scene from the beginning of The Big Lebowski. A thug is repeatedly shoving Jeff Bridges head into the toilet and yelling "where's the money Lebowski?"
I picture a DXO reader shoving Axel's head into the toilet, then pulling it out and asking "Where's the OM-D review Axel?" then shoving his head in again and pulling it out and repeating "Where's the OM-D review Axel?"
Axel replies "It's down there somewhere man, let me have another look."

Fujifilm X-S1 - Tested on New / Old Sensor ?
Hi Iam really happy to see the results but just want to know
1.)Was this tested on an [b]Old sensor (Orb issue) or with the New/ Modified sensor[/b].
2.)In case if you have tested both sensors, [b]which one performed better[/b] old or the New /Modified sensor (Ignoring the orb issue)
These 2 questions are running around thousands of times in most of the forums.
Hope the answers from DXO - one the trusted source would may give them a huge relief and even my purchase decision is still pending on this whether to go with new /old sensor ;)
Added by mdaemate | June 27 , 2012

This a comment for this page on the website
EXR DR mode is available for manual exposure but you have to set the image format RAW+JPG and select image size M and DR 400%. This works also with X10 and F-series. Please retest - the dynamic range is huge for a small sensor.

Hello All,
I'm a 20+ year bee keeper now joining this forum. About 16 years ago I became a self employed construction Businessman. As my desire to become successful came to full bloom my honeybees began to suffer from lack of attention. I put in just enough time to keep 3-5 colonies alive removing surplus honey as needed.
When I began beekeeping I was diligent at reading and learning all I could to become a proficient beekeeper. I feel that I had become a knowledgable beekeeper through 1998, after that I lost interest per say.
Now I'm ready to pick up where I left off. I've given token attention from time to time to beekeeping in general. I have minimal knowledge of SHB but very little info on different treatment avenues for SHB, nor any up to date treatment practices for all other honey bee parasites and afflictions.
When I started 20+ years ago books and magazines were my principal avenues to gather info, now I enjoy the Internet immensely.
What I did learn when I began keeping honeybees was this: ask 20 bee keepers a specific question on bee management and almost always you'll get 20 different answers that each one believes whole heartedly. From those answers I learned to glean out the info that best suited my operation which ALWAYS worked very well for me. I look forward to each of you providing your personal insight into today's beekeeping, whether it be a response to a thread or a PM.
Looking forward to being here,
Cantrell Carden

A famed civil rights figure contributed her name and her passion for the underserved to UMMC with the recent dedication of the Myrlie Evers-Williams Institute for the Elimination of Health Disparities.
One day after the anniversary of Medgar Evers' death, his widow helped dedicate the re-focused institute during a June 13 ceremony at the Jackson Medical Mall Thad Cochran Center.
The launch represents a new partnership between the University of Mississippi Medical Center and the Jackson State University College of Liberal Arts, and signifies the renaming of the Mississippi Institute for the Improvement of Geographical Minority Health, created to close the gap between those who receive proper medical care and those who don't.
The revamped organization will concentrate on three main areas of concern in Mississippi: child health disparities, minority men's health and research training – issues that resonate with Evers-Williams, who spoke to a gathering of an estimated 130 people.
"I am so honored to lend my name to this wonderful, motivational group of programs we have here that will move Mississippi from the bottom of the list to the top," Evers-Williams said.
"If Mississippi is going to be a strong state in every way, we have to be healthy, too."
Among those who spoke at the dedication were U.S. Rep. Bennie Thompson; state Sen. John Horhn; Dr. James Keeton, UMMC vice chancellor for health affairs and dean of the School of Medicine; Dr. Lawrence Potter Jr., dean of the College of Liberal Arts at Jackson State University; Dr. Claude Brunson, UMMC senior advisor to the vice chancellor for external affairs; and Dr. Bettina Beech, executive director of the institute and UMMC associate vice chancellor for population health.
Beech noted that the institute's three areas of emphasis were also chosen based on their capacity to dovetail with existing programs at UMMC and JSU.
"For instance, UMMC has the only children's hospital in the state and deals with vulnerable children," said Beech, referring to the Blair E. Batson Hospital for Children.
"Jackson State will be a valuable partner in exploring the social determinants of health (education, income, employment, and geographic factors) that the health-care system was not traditionally designed to address.
"The area of minority men's health has been overlooked in this country, for the most part. Our partnership with JSU will enable groups of faculty and students to make a real impact in these areas of research."
The institute will also collaborate with Wake Forest Baptist Medical Center's Maya Angelou Center for Health Equity, where Beech formerly served as co-director.
Dr. Myrlie Evers-Williams, foreground, unveils the sign marking the institute named in her honor during the dedication.
Housed in the Medical Mall, the institute also plans to team up with Alcorn State University – the alma mater of Medgar and Myrlie Evers – and the Medgar and Myrlie Evers Institute in Jackson, created to continue the legacy of Medgar Evers, the civil rights pioneer who was assassinated June 12, 1963 in Jackson.
"When I came back to Mississippi a year ago, I had no intention to stay," Evers-Williams said. "I wouldn't have thought it was possible to embrace the state. Anything is possible."
Naming the institute after Evers-Williams is a "historic milestone" in the growing relationship between the university and the Evers family, Beech said.
Evers-Williams, who delivered the commencement address at Ole Miss in May 2013, told the graduates, "I believe in you, in Mississippi, in America. May we find peaceful dialogue to deal with issues – not walk away from each other."
A Distinguished Scholar-in-Residence at Alcorn State, Evers-Williams will be involved in the organization named for her, Brunson said.
"The institute focuses on improving the lives of Mississippians, especially those with limited access to health care.
"It has tested strategies that maintain people's health and gets those out to the community to make a difference. That has been the life's work of Myrlie Evers-Williams, and we are thrilled to name the institute in her honor.
"Her international prominence will enable us to collaborate with other folks that we may not have had access to otherwise."
A former NAACP leader, Evers-Williams thanked UMMC also for adding to the institute the name of her second husband, Walter Williams, a civil rights activist who succumbed to cancer after he delayed seeing a doctor – a major reason for her interest in men's health.
It was a cautionary tale for other men who are reluctant to ignore their symptoms, she said.
"Men, wake up. Take care of yourselves and let us take care of you."

External SD: Can go up to 32GB. I currently use a cheap 16GB one.
Screen: 4:3 800x600.
Google: Play Store works out of the box. Device is recognized as "Unknown Novo 7 legend" . GMAIL keeps crashing , hence uninstalled it. Gtalk doesnt work, use IMO. Doesn't come with Youtube installed. and not being able to download it from Play store, I'll have to get the APK elsewhere.
WEB CAM: Front facing 0.3mp. Can confirm it works with skype. Images are very dark and pixelated, but is OK for Skype if used in well lit room.
WIFI: works
Bluetooth: Not present.
GSM/3G : Not present.
GPS: Not present.
Radio: Not present.
HDMI: Does not support.
OTG: Can confirm it supports my USB keyboard and mouse and USB hub (using them to type this). Flash disk works as well and I was able to watch a movie without any lag.
Mic: Works fine for Skype, haven't tried voice recorder yet.
Audio port: 3.5 mm audi out
Single loud speaker: poor sound but ok for games and such.
ROOT: not sure if it came pre-rooted. I used Ainol Crystal root ZIP I found on this forum.
Battery: Goes 1 day + on standby. WiFi works for over 4 hours. Haven't really tested the batter properly.
- Poor viewing angles.
- Screen is still dim on max brightnes.
- Pixelation.
- Overheats on 100% CPU, sometimes it turns off on I turn off the screen. It seems to stop doing so after setting governeor to ondemand with 240-960Mhz.
- Android shuts itself off when battery goes below 13%, dunno why! Any suggestions ?
- Games requiring g-sensor act all wacky, in Riptide my boat keeps moving to the left. Some people have reported that changing the setting under the 'display' menu fixes it, but I've had no such luck.
All in all it is a decent performer given the price. I do wish the display was a little better and the battery a bit more long lasting.
So does anyone else here have any experience with this tab ?? Plz share them here!

Treated Crew "Street Organization"
Treated Crew is about ready to heat up the summer.
The Chicago tribe first let loose this new warm-up track "Street Organization" for the return of #TreatedTuesdays yesterday. Mano produces a trap-heavy banger that finds the crew trading verses from beginning to end. Definitely a pump up track for the ride, the club, (your office?) wherever.
In some Treated Crew news tidbits, the end of May will see release to their anticipated collaboration album and their long-teased clothing collaboration with Stussy. I been seeing the members on Instagram post little glimpses at the collab and the end product is sure to take their #Treated brand to another level. The show and album are on May 31st to be exact, with the show actually happening overseas in Tokyo. #PowerMoves.
And finally, Mano instagrammed some news himself as he signed a co-pub deal with Warner/Chappell Music. As you can see, #Treated will be all over this summer.

Boulder, CO – April 29, 2008
Webroot, a leading provider of security solutions for the consumer, enterprise and SMB markets, has been named a security category finalist for Best of Interop Las Vegas 2008. Interop Las Vegas 2008 is taking place April 27-May 2, 2008, at the Mandalay Bay Convention Center.
Webroot was chosen as a finalist from nearly 200 submissions. The judges, a panel of editors from InformationWeek, selected finalists in the security category based on their products' potential to impact and advance business technology efficiencies. The winner will be announced at a ceremony this afternoon.
Webroot is being recognized for its Webroot® E-mail Security SaaS (Software as a Service) solution which provides businesses with better protection, lower total cost of ownership and better manageability than perimeter security appliances or software. Webroot E-mail Security SaaS resides outside an organization's network and requires no additional hardware, software, or personnel resources to manage daily security operations. The solution includes dynamic virus and spam filters to protect against 98 percent of e-mail spam and 100 percent of known viruses.
"Webroot estimates every business e-mail account will receive up to 42,000 spam e-mails in 2008," said Mike Irwin, COO, Webroot. "Traditional security defenses are no longer enough to protect businesses against malware threats transported in spam e-mail or the strain it places on their networks. Recognition from the judges of Best of Interop Las Vegas 2008 for Webroot E-Mail Security SaaS is further validation that perimeter-based security delivers businesses more effective and more manageable protection than appliances and software."
Webroot is demonstrating Webroot E-Mail Security SaaS and other technologies at Interop Las Vegas in Booth # 145.

I assume most of you belt fed guys are familiar with Rich (1919_4_me) from the 1919 forum. He makes some real nice stuff for the 1919 and M2.
I have been using one of his MG42 AA pod adapters and T&E setups. They are both first class rigs that work perfectly.
He recently introduced a new product, a stabilizer kit for the MG42 tripods. Since I was one of the first to receive one, there is very little info on them yet, in the way of reviews or instructions. So here goes.
The fit and finish is superb, just like his other products. In fact the fit is too good from my experience. While the individual parts assemble quite nicely, I found that when connecting them together, they fit together too tightly to allow enough tolerance to fit the variables from tripod to tripod.
This may be something I'm doing wrong, but I can't see how. Theoretically you should be able to just pull the pins and fold up the pod.
On mine everything fits so tight, it requires a large drift punch, 1lb dead blow hammer, about a half hour of coercing and a little cussing to get the pins in. Far too much effort for a portable shooting platform.
It appears that if I open up the holes in the clamp part a tad and bevel the ends of the adjusters where the pins go through a little, I could gain enough wiggle room, to allow it to be broken down and set up with ease. The adjusters would then allow you to take out any slop.
I'm not going to do any drilling or grinding until I get a chance to talk with Rich, as I said it may be something I don't have set up correctly. I'd bet the stabilizer fits whatever pod he used for mock up, perfectly, but I doubt the legs of these pods are held to any strict tolerances.
I will say that once this kit is installed, the pod is rock solid.
