I like your quilt. It's very pretty and I like the colors. Maybe you have just looked at it too long. That happens to me sometimes. Love the pattern also !
Welcome to the Quilting Board!
I like your quilt. It's very pretty and I like the colors. Maybe you have just looked at it too long. That happens to me sometimes. Love the pattern also !
If you really don't like the white, as too white, why not tea dye it after you have finished quilting it?
Yes that is a real picture of my hometown Temecula, California. We feature premiere Wineries, World Class Golf Courses, Pechanga Indian Casino and Hot Air Balloons
Your quilt is beautiful. I'd use a star pattern if I were you.
I"ve got the fabric to do a Nancy's Fancy for my step GD. I've given her almost every FANCY NANCY book that's out and have Fancy Nancy and butterfly fabric for her quilt.
Bad Spellers of the World
I think it is very pretty and well done. As how to quilt it I don't know.
Isn't it the pitts when you don't like something and everyone loves it??? But truly It is a Fab quilt. Maybe you are tired of looking at it. You will have a long list of addresses to send it to if you don't like it.. Good Luck..
What? That quilt is beautiful! You can send it to me if you don't want it.
Thanks to all of you for your comments and suggestions. I've considered every one.
Here's what I have so far.
(And I hope I can sew straighter than I can Paint!)
Stars outlined 1/4" in with blue.
Intersecting star borders outlined in and out as one unit , 1/4 " in with invisible thread. (I tried the "quilt right through" suggestion on the upper right block, it's kind of neat, but a little confusing to look at.)
Triangle type shapes spanning blocks outlined in natural (or maybe the blue as well, as someone suggested).
I'll just have to turn the quilt a whole bunch of times, I couldn't work out an all over diagonal that follows the angles in the quilt, is fairly evenly spaced and stays within the quilt spacing required. (I ordered the Hobbs 80/20 online. The site said 4", but the package says 3.5". Maybe they're just overly cautious?) In the future I'll stick with a batt that allows larger spacing.
And for those of you who use invisible thread:
Is there any problem mixing this with regular thread in other parts of the quilt?
Is Sulky premium invisible a good one?
How do you start and stop lines of stitching? (I usually do 1/4" or less of microstitching and cut tails off at the fabric.) This stuff is pretty slick, I'm afraid it's going to come undone.
How do I keep the raw edges of the outer blue border from fraying while I do all these turns? The zigzag on my old Kenmore doesn't work, just forward and back.
Thank you all for your suggestions and comments, I really appreciate it.
And I don't hate the quilt, it's just very different from what I envisioned when I started the project.
And tea dye sounds interesting, but I wouldn't DARE!
You could meander with red thru the red ribbons;meander with blue thru the blue ribbons;stitch the ditch outline of stars;maybe asmaller stipple in white areas? If you set it aside andlet it"ripen" a few days you will get your creative juices going..It's a great quilt

Glad to know about Ubiquinol
I was glad to learn about the importance of this product for people over 50. I don't expect to see or feel any difference in my immediate health, but because CoEnzymeQ10 is destroyed by the statin drug many people take, this is an important supplement. My only criticism of this brand is that it is not soy-free. It's amazingly difficult to get soy-free products in spite of the fact that 1 in 10 people should not have any soy in their diets. (see G6PD deficiency).

The energy you've been missing
Posted by Reviewer1828992 on May 10, 2011 | Verified Purchase
My husband tried these pills to counter the effects of the statins he has been prescribed for his cholesterol, which left him feeling weak as though his muscles were gradually being stripped of their strength. This ubiquinol gives him just the energy boost he needs and now he simply wouldn't be without these pills. For those people who are unused to taking medication in a capsule format please be aware that the 100mg formulation is quite large and you may have some difficulty in swallowing them.

Cost Effective CoQ10
Posted by forNaturalHealth on Apr 14, 2012 | Verified Purchase
Although it costs more than ubiquinone CoQ10's this form delivers more bang for your buck. Don't expect energy gains if your health is already OK but do consider it if you have had heart problems and /or you take cholesterol lowering medication. A lot of doctors are now suggesting CoQ10 to people on these medications because they block the production of CoQ10 in the liver. If you take statins and are feeling lethargic or experiencing pain between the shoulders, reach for the ubiquinol.
It's perfect! 这个商品非常好!これは素晴らしい!

We've been using this product for almost 1 month, we want to make sure how is it working, and now I'm happily writing this here to tell everyone this is working so well. 1.One day night I was so tired so sleepy even don't want to finish my dinner, so I thought maybe one softgel Ubiquinol will be help, whatever I want to give it a chance, after I take it, my energy is back and no more sleepy feel. 2. Also I feel this help sleeping also, It's hard to me to sleep every night, but after I take this, I feel better, I can fall asleep very easy at night. First few days I feel very tired everyday, (I think maybe it's because I'm lack of sleep in my past, so Ubiquinol is helping me make some supplement of sleep?). 3.And also this can light my scars! the new skin is growing after I use this on my scars. 我们已经用了这个产品大约一个月了, 我们希望确定这个产品的功效,现在我很高兴在写这些并且告诉每个人这个产品的功效非常好。 1.有一天晚上我感到非常疲倦非常嗜睡,甚至都不想继续吃晩饭了,所以我想也许吃一粒泛醇可以缓解疲劳,不管怎样我决定给泛醇一个机会试试,我服用以后感到精力回来了而且也不再感到困倦。 2.我感到这个产品也在一定程度上帮助睡眠,我每晚都很难入睡,但是在我服用这个产品以后,我感到好很多,我可以轻易入睡。一开始的几天我每天都感到非常疲倦,(我认为可能是因为我之前太缺乏睡眠了,所以泛醇在帮助我补充睡眠?) 3.而且这个产品也会淡化疤痕哦!!! 我在我的疤痕上用了泛醇之后我发现新皮肤在慢慢长出来。 私たちはもうこの商品を使って一ヶ月ぐらいです、私たちはこの商品の改変能力が確認したいです。今私はとても嬉しくてここで書いて、皆さんにこの商品を教えたいです。 1.ある夜、私はとても疲れて寝たくて、夜ご飯まで食べ終わらなくて、っでたぶん1つ この商品を服用したら、よくなるかもしれませんがなだと思っていた、何と言ってもこの商品を試してみたい、服用した後、やっばりよくなった、疲れた感じもなくなった。 2.この商品もなんとなく睡眠を手伝っています。 3.傷跡も薄くなります。わたしはこの商品を傷跡に使って、新しい皮膚も育てできた。

Project Number: 6420-12610-004-08-S
Project Type: Non-Assistance Cooperative Agreement
Start Date: Sep 24, 2007
End Date: May 31, 2012
Develop conservation tillage systems for vegetable production that (1) implement weed management regimes, including cover crops, compost, and mulching; (2) evaluate the biological and economic outcomes of the different systems; and (3) promulgate technology transfer through demonstrations/Field Days and publications for area farmers and agricultural professionals.
Specific methods include the following: conservation tillage systems and crop rotations to disrupt weed cycles and enhance competitiveness of crop plant through additions of N-fixing cover crops, such as crimson clover and hairy vetch, planting competitive crop varieties to maintain suppression of weeds, reducing weed seed set through allelopathic effects from crops, such as rye and oats, and improving the advantage of crops over weeds through compost based fertilizer applications. The experimental design includes two main plot treatments (No cover crop and cover crop) and three weed control subplot treatments that include mechanical weeding, herbicide, and mulching. Sweet potato will be tested in rotation with selected high values vegetable crops adapted to the southeastern environmental conditions. A farmer in Macon County has been selected to participate in this research and demonstration project. County extension agents, Tuskegee University researchers, and USDA/ARS scientists will collaborate and provide technical assistance to the farmers and help in disseminating research findings.

Talk Nation Radio: The War on Whistleblowers With Thomas Drake and Jesselyn Radack
Jesselyn Radack and Thomas Drake discuss their experiences as government whistleblowers, the retribution they've endured, and the currently worsening pattern of secrecy, intimidation, and persecution of whistleblowers in Washington, D.C.
Jesselyn Radack is a former ethics adviser to the U.S. Department of Justice who came to prominence as a whistleblower after she disclosed that the FBI committed an ethics violation in its interrogation of John Walker Lindh (the "American Taliban") without an attorney present, and that the Department of Justice attempted to suppress that information. Her experience is chronicled in her memoir, TRAITOR: The Whistleblower and the "American Taliban". Radack was this past year's co-recipient of the Sam Adams Associates for Integrity in Intelligence award.
Jesselyn Radack is the Government Accountability Project's National Security & Human Rights Director. In her role, she works primarily with national security and intelligence community whistleblowers, including those from the Defense Department, Department of Homeland Security, NSA and CIA – with a special focus on torture, secret surveillance, secrecy, and political discrimination. See http://whistleblower.org
She recently represented former NSA official Thomas Drake on whistleblower matters stemming from the government's unsuccessful prosecution of him under the Espionage Act.
Thomas Drake is a former senior executive of the U.S. National Security Agency (NSA), decorated United States Air Force and United States Navy veteran, computer software expert, and whistleblower. He is the 2011 recipient of the Ridenhour Prize for Truth-Telling and co-recipient of the Sam Adams award. The government's retribution against Drake, for exposing waste, abuse, and incompetence, included charging him under the Espionage Act. The charges fell apart.

Propellantless Space Drive Called "EmDrive" Made in China
Tiffany Kaiser
February 9, 2013 11:10 AM
Recipient E-mail
Sender E-mail
(Source: emdrive.com)
It's a a propellantless microwave thruster that defies Newton's laws of motion
Chinese scientists have taken on a heavily criticized space drive idea that could one day launch satellites, deep space probes and even flying cars.
The research team hails from Northwestern Polytechnic University in Xi'an, and was led by Yang Juan. What they developed was a propellantless microwave thruster called EmDrive, which is a controversial idea because it goes against Newton's laws of motion -- and many have claimed to create a "propellantless" thruster before and failed.
Newton's laws of motion are all based on the idea that firing propellant out of the back at a high speed will push a craft forward. While
solar cells offer infinite power
, thrust is limited by propellant. Many have tried to get around this, but several scams have made this particular field a joke in the scientific world.
While space drives tend to rely on Newton's laws of motion, the EmDrive is a closed, conical container that has a net thrust toward the wide end when filled with resonating microwaves. This goes against Newton, who said that no closed system could have a net thrust. However, EmDrive works because the microwaves have a group velocity (the speed of a collection of electromagnetic waves) that is greater in one direction than the other -- which is where Albert Einstein's theory of relativity comes in.
British engineer Robert Shaywer, who began looking at the concept of a propellantless thruster when he opened his own company called Satellite Propulsion Research in 2001, is the original creator of the EmDrive. He made demonstration thrusters to prove it could be done, and even made sure the test results were accurate (meaning, the results weren't affected by friction, ionization, air currents, electromagnetic effects or interference). The first, made in 2003, had a thrust of 16 mN. This was enough to show it could be done.
However, he received a ton of criticism for his idea and was ridiculed in his own country. But the Chinese team at Northwestern Polytechnic University believed in his research and took the project head on to author the latest study, "Net Thrust Measurement of Propellantless Microwave Thruster."
The Northwestern Polytechnic University team was able to create the EmDrive with 720 mN of thrust with a couple of kilowatts of power.
So what purpose does EmDrive have? It could halve launch costs of satellites because as much as half
the launch weight
of these objects are attributed to propellant.
Shawyer is even working on a superconducting thruster that could be ready as soon as 2016. It would boost the Q value of the cavity, which determines the amount of thrust produced. He said it could be boosted by a factor of several thousand, possibly equating to a tonne of thrust per kilowatt of power.
"Well, we didn't have anyone in line that got shot waiting for our system." -- Nintendo of America Vice President Perrin Kaplan

The relationship between Aston Martin and Zagato started with the 1960 Aston Martin DB4 GT Zagato. Ercole Spada (also known for his BMW, Lancia, and Alfa Romeo designs) and his team in Milan started off with the existing DB4 GT and made it lighter, faster, and more beautiful. Aston Martin only built 25 examples, and while the company raced a few, the machines never achieved much success. Still, collectors were so taken with the design that executives approved two more conversion runs in 1988 and 1992.
It would be another 26 years before the two firms would team up on a new project. The 1986 Aston Martin V8 Zagato took a much boxier form. By the time Zagato got ahold of the coupe, the Aston Martin V8 was nearing the end of its lifecycle, but Zagato managed to breathe new life into into the design. Everything was squared off, from the grille and headlights to the greenhouse (with the side window-within-a-window later copied by the Subaru SVX). While it may not have aged as well as other designs, you can bet its time will come. With just 52 examples ever produced, the '86 V8 Zagato will eventually fetch big bucks.

Cruising Tillamook County
Old Wheeler Hotel • Wheeler, OR
Escape Kit
- A Two-Night Stay for Two in Room 1, 2, or 5

- Wine Tastings for Two at Nehalem Bay Winery

With its desert-like sand dunes, mom-and-pop shops, and sea-sprayed lighthouses, the Oregon Coast beckons road-trippers. Heed its call at the Old Wheeler Hotel, about 85 miles northwest of Portland and less than three miles from the mighty Pacific.
Constructed in 1920, the winsome yellow building is adorned with dark blue shutters and hanging flower pots. Pump the brakes and step inside, where you'll find your names on the door of your room—just one of the small touches you can expect. Every room is different, but they're all outfitted with carefully selected antiques, comfortable beds, plush linens, and flat-screen TVs with DVD players.
Nestled in between Cannon Beach to the north and Rockaway Beach to the south, the small town of Wheeler (with a population of less than 400) is worth the detour. Trade in your wheels for the waves by renting a motorboat from the marina across the street, or paddle at a more leisurely pace around Nehalem Bay in a kayak. Then, hop back in the car for a trip to Nehalem Bay Winery. "Established in 1974, this winery is known for its Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, blackberry, and plum fruit wines," says Fodor's.
Because there's no greater West Coast pastime than driving down the 101, stop by the extensive Old Wheeler Antiques, which boasts the region's largest selection of Art Deco lamps, after wine tasting. Knowing you've set up camp at the Old Wheeler Hotel means you're free to explore the area that lured Lewis and Clark some 200 years ago for as long as you like.
"Everything about our stay at the Old Wheeler Hotel was exceptional, from the easy check-in and personalized 'welcome' note at each door, to the absolutely gorgeous rooms, ample amenities, and superb staff."-- TripAdvisor

AOL Artists Debut Winner of the Behance.net Motion Competition on a Newly Designed AOLArtists.com
Sep 19, 2012
From April to May this year, AOL ran a competition on the Behance network, tapping its incredible collective of creatives. Five finalists were selected and given the opportunity to present story boards to AOL. After much deliberation, "Rezeption" was selected as the next Motion Canvas, and creator Roman Ruetten was named the winner. Roman is a New York-based artist who grew up in Cologne, Germany. He, and his artwork, are currently showcased on the newly designed AOLArtists.com, which also launched today.
The new AOLArtists.com, designed by two of our top designers, Justin Michael Smith and Stephen Meszaros, features over 200 of AOL's canvases in a variety of mediums, and over 1,000 images of artwork. The site aims to make art accessible to a wider audience, allowing users to engage with AOL's canvases and the artists that have created them. An optimized search allows you to find artists, artworks, and initiatives, by color, medium, artist name, and canvas name. Additional features include pages for each curated collection, a sort-by-color functionality, and easier access to AOL Artists' initiatives, Rainbow City, the Seven on Seven conference, and more.
AOL Artists actively commissions artists from around the world to create the visual identity for the AOL brand. To date, 114 artists have been commissioned to create 282 canvases for AOL. Additionally, the program's involvement in the creative community extends beyond traditional commissioning and into the public sector. Public art installations, charitable murals, grants, conferences, and media coverage for local artists and art communities have been powerful extensions of the program and AOL's support of the arts.

Overnights Book Club : The Murder of Roger Ackroyd
Murder of Roger AckroydWho hasn't heard of Agatha Christie? She is the world's best-selling author (equal with Shakespeare at around 2 BILLION copies) for a simple reason - her 85 stories are innovative and quintessentially British. Though her stories might seem dated today, for those who eschew the grisly details and explicit sexuality of contemporary crime fiction she remains very peopular (Could this be the reason her sales have increased by 50 percent in the past decade?)
This month's book THE MURDER OF ROGER ACKROYD was voted by the Crime Writers Association the best detective fiction ever written. But it caused a sensation when it was published. Why? Read the book and join us for a discussion on the most controversial and best detective story ever written.
PS if you ever felt you could write your own cosy detective story - then visit here : http://www.agathachristie.com/write-your-own-christie/take-part-this-month/
Join Trevor Chappell and Dr Toni Johnson-Woods from the School of English at the University of Queensland for the Book Club Wednesday morning. 19th March at 0245
And for those of you who missed that discussion you can listen to the Podcast here :

Interested in talking with parents, educators, and scientists about kids and STEM? #STEMchat is an hour-long, monthly Twitter conversation about resources and ideas to help kids learn about Science, Technology, Engineering and Math. #STEMchat host Kim Moldofsky, a Chicago-area writer with tween and teen boys, writes The Maker Mom blog, which grew out of her interest in learning Arduino programming. She describes a typical #STEMchat as "a cocktail party on steroids," and a great way to connect with parents with a STEM ed bent.
Last month GeekMom Amy Kraft was a guest panelist, talking about Tweens and Engineering, and from all accounts she had a blast. And #STEMchat was a trending topic on Twitter! This month I get a turn, joining Moldofsky and a panel of parenting/education bloggers to discuss "Hack-y Holiday" ideas. You can follow the chat on Thursday December 6, starting at 9 pm EST.
This month's #STEMchat is sponsored by our friends at littleBits, the STEMmy-winning maker of magnetic snap-together electronic components that let you build all kinds of creative projects. LittleBits has a special Holiday Kit featuring unique pieces that can be used to create seasonal crafts like the ornament shown in the video above. And until December 11, littleBits is running a "What Are You Making for the Holidays?" challenge. Three winners will receive all the littleBits pieces needed to create their designs, in time for the holidays.
To join the live chat, just go to Twitter and search for the hashtag #STEMchat. Or use a site like TweetChat to make the conversation easier to follow. Can't make it then? You can find recaps of past chats on The Maker Mom website. You can also sign up to receive a email reminders and links to each month's recap. #STEMchat is usually the 2nd Tuesday of each month at 9 pm Eastern.
I'm looking forward to my first STEMchat. Hope to see you there!

Dave Barkers Christmas Kitchen...
Hi Guys,
It has been ages since my last post, so I thought that I would come back with a biggie!!!!! CHRISTMAS IS NEARLY HERE AGAIN
I know that there was a LOT of people on here this time last year that needed some inspiration regarding Christmas dinner. I gave a few people some pointers, as did plenty of other members and I don't know about your Christmas, but mine turned out to be one of the tastiest meals of the year...I cooked for both mine and Stellas families about 20 in total! and it was a breeze belive it or not!!!!!
I thought that I would put a few ideas on here, some things that I did last year, plus some new ideas that I have come across since that I intend to try this xmas...
It would be really cool if you guys could add to them.Ideas for starter courses, mains, desserts, Christmas cake recipies, pannetone, stollen.... its all great. So please, use your imagination and lets all eat well this Christmas...
All the best
Dave Barker

Re: Dave Barkers Christmas Kitchen...
The starter course for the big day needs to be light, as the main course is such a belly filler!!!
Here are a couple of ideas for starters that I have tried in recent years that have proved to be BIG sucesses...
Everyone loves a nice rustic, home made soup! the idea is to use something that is in season and something that tastes fantastic!!!
The kids were hollowing out pumpkins the other day for halloween so we had LOADS of pumpkin flesh going spare, so I made a great soup... everyone liked it so much it is a contender for this years xmas starter.
50g butter
1 onion, chopped
1kg pumpkin,de-seeded and cubed
2 cloves of garlic, crushed
2 bay leaves (from my garden)
a glass of white wine
2 tablespoons double cream
900ml fresh organic chicken stock,hot
an old parmasan cheese rind! plus extra for shavings for garnish!
First, melt the butter on a med-low heat, add the onion and pumpkin and cook for about 5 mins. Then add the galic and the bay leaves and cook again, for another 5 mins.
Add the wine and let it bubble for a couple of mins to evaporate off the alcohol a bit!!! then add the stock and the parmasan rind (this is a good way to get some great flavour from a thing that you normaly throw away)
Now increase the heat and boil the soup for 10 mins, or until the pumpkin is nice and soft. Then set aside to cool down slightly. When it has, remove the bay and rind...
Puree with a stick blender until really smooth. At his point you can loosen the soup up a little with water if it is too thick!
Stir in the cream and season well with salt and pepper, transfere the soup to a clean pan and heat til hot.
Ladel into warm bowls. Top each with a few thin shavings of parmasan and a good drizzle of a great, grassy, peppery good quality extra virgin olive oil.
If you find the time serve with a chunk of still warm, freshly made bread.
Thats the first starter idea! I have a couple more....
How about you guys?

Re: Dave Barkers Christmas Kitchen...
The second starter idea is one that I tried 2 or 3 xmas's ago when an old butcher friend of mine Alan, got hold of some brilliant venison loin a week or so before the big day....
12 whole shallots, unpeeled
2 tablespoons of olive oil
sprig of fresh tyme
1KG boned venison loin
2 tablespoons grated fresh horseradish
200ml pot creme fraiche
1 teaspoon white wine vinegar
sprig fresh rosemary, finely chopped
zest 1 orange
Pre heat the oven to 180oc gas mark 4
Toss the shallots in the oil, season and scatter into a dish with the tyme. Cover with foil and bake in the oven for 45 mins or until soft.
Trim the fat and sinew from the loin of venison, season well and brush with olive oil.
Sear the meat all over in a hot pan until brown all over the set aside to cool for 30 mins or so.
Mix the grated horseradish into the creme fraiche, season well with salt, pepper and the vinegar.
very thinly slice the venison and arrange just 3 slices on a starter plate.
Peel the warm shallots and tear them in half. and scatter over the venison.
Dollop one small spoon of creme fraich onto each slice of the venison and sprinkle the plate with the rosemary and orange zest and lightly drizzle with good extra virgin olive oil.

Re: Dave Barkers Christmas Kitchen...
This one is another goodie, one that I put on the menu at work last year.....boy! did it sell fast......
This fresh little salad has it all.... smokey, salty, sweet, citrus, creamy texture, herbs, nuts...
half a ball of mozarella
3 thinly sliced strips of good quality smoked salmon.
thinly sliced fennel strips
thinly sliced spring onion
hazelnut oil
rock salt
freshly milled black pepper
This salad is simplicity itself!
tear half a ball of mozarella and place it in the center of the plate.
sprinkle with salt, pepper and a small drop of the oil.
Very thinly slice the fennel and spring onions with a mandolin (finger slicer!!!) into a bowl and mix together with some of the clemantine juice.
Place one thinly cut slice of cross-section clemantine on top of the mozarella.
take a large pinch of the fennel/onion mix and place on top of the clemantine slice.
carefully scatter the strips of salmon on top of the fennel.
season with salt and cracked black pepper and drizzle with more clemantine juice and drizzle hazelnut oil around the plate!!!!

Re: Dave Barkers Christmas Kitchen...
I always intend to try something a bit special for xmas dinner, but usually the traditional food always draws me back to doing turkey and veg...
A couple of years ago, I started working for a restaurant where they made plain old turkey and veg exciting!
Then, last year I came across jamies idea of using flavoured butters to add brilliant flavours to the veg... The different combos of flavour is endless.....
I have started this thread using quite traditional dishes, but please, if any of you guys have any dishes that you feel are good enough to share, please feel free to post them here....
4.5 oven ready turkey, with giblets
2 lemons
3 large rosemary sprigs
4 fresh bay leaves
1 small bunch fresh parsley stalks
50 g butter, room temp
Liver from the turkey giblets, chopped
25g dried porcini mushrooms
30g butter
100g pancetta, chopped
1 large onion, finely chopped
500g good quality, pork sausages, skins removed
200g cooked and peeled chestnuts, coursley chopped
chopped fresh sage
chopped freshparsley
25g fresh white bread crumbs
freshly grated nutmeg
Remove the turkey from the fridge. take out the giblets and set aside the liver. reserve the rest until you make the gravy.
place the porcini mushrooms in a bowl and cover with boiling water and soak for 20 mins.
melt the butter in a frying pan, add the pancetta and fry over medium heat until golden. add the onion and fry for 8-10 mins .
drain the mushrooms, reserving the water! again, for the gravy.
at this point add the coursly chopped livers to the pan and cook for a minute, transfere to a bowl and let the mixture go cold.
add the sausage meat, chestnuts, herbs, breadcrumbs, nutmeg and season the mix with salt and pepper.
Now, pre-heat the oven to 190oc / gas 5
Spoon some of the stuffing into the cavity of the bird.
put the rest into a lightly gresed baking dish and cover.set it aside .
Spike the lemons all over and season the body cavity of the bird, then insert the lemons, rosemary, bay leaves, and parsley stalks.
At this point you should calculate the birds cooking time... usually allow 20 mins per kilo of weight plus 90 mins for birds weighing less than 4kg!
Also, allow 20 mins for resting time, and 20 mins to cook the extra stuffing.
Pour 300ml of water into a big roasting tin and place a rack over it.
Sit the turkey on the rack and spread the butter all over the bird, season well with s and p!
Cover with foil and bake for calculated time!
uncover for the last 30 mins to brown the skin.
push a skewer into the thickest part of the birds leg, if the juices run clear, its cooked! if there are traces of pink return it to the oven for another 15 mins and try the same thing until the juices are clear.
Remove from the oven and rest an a carving / chopping board, cover with foil and leave alone for 30 mins! (this is the point that my mrs tries stealing some...every time)
Now, increase the oven temp to 200oc / gas 6.
Skim off the excess fat from th cooking juices and strain them into a jug and leave to settle for a min or 2.
skim again, them use this to make the gravy.
put the dish containing the extra stuffing into the oven and cook for 20 mins while you concentrate on the gravy...
Hope this all made sense.... will add the gravy recipie tomorrow... it's a little late now
Good night all..

Stuffed Leg of Lamb
5-6 lb. leg of lamb [boneless]
1/4-1/2 c olive oil [good one]
2 lemons juice of
4-5 cloves garlic cut into pieces
10 leaves of fresh mint
Day Before:
Wash the leg of lamb very well under running water. Dry lamb well. Open lamb up, remove any excess fat from the meat. Make small holes in the inside of the leg of lamb.
Force the garlic piece into the holes. Wash the lamb inside with the olive oil and the lemon. Lay the mint leaves inside the lamb. If you can find a net bag like your meat comes in, roll the lamb up and place inside the bag. [If not it needs to be tied up well.]
Rub the lamb all over with olive oil and lemon. Set the lamb in the refrigerator over night, in a pan to keep all the juices in the pan [stainless steel, or glass].
Next Day: Place the lamb on a rack and bake it 350' for about 1-1/2-2 hours or until a internal thermometer read 165-170. or longer if you prefer. But it should be at that temperature.
Now your boneless leg of lamb may come in this bag. wash the bag with soap and water and be sure to get all the soap out of it.

When finished chopping place in a towel [ you must bleach the towel as soon as you are done or at least set the towel in bleach water or you will have green towels] squeeze all the liquid out [this step is important so the dressing will not be watered down] Combine wheat with the hot water and let stand for 1 hour. Combine lemon juice, olive oil, and salt in a jar and shake well.

Christmas Spice Cake
1 1/3 C. butter
1 3/4 C. sugar
4 eggs
2 t. real vanilla extract
2 1/4 C. flour
1 T. orange zest
2 t. baking soda
1 1/4 t. ground cinnamon
3/4 t. allspice
1/4 t. ground cloves
1/4 t. freshly grated nutmeg
1 1/2 C. grated zucchini
1 1/2 C. grated carrots
1 C. pecans, medium pieces
1 C. walnuts, medium pieces
1/4 C. golden raisins
1/4 C. dark raisins
Orange Icing:
2 C. powdered sugar
water, as needed
1 t. orange extract
Preheat oven to 325° F.
Using a nonstick cooking spray, grease one large or two medium loaf pans. Line with wax paper and grease again.
Cream the butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing thoroughly. Add the vanilla.
Sift the flour, orange zest, baking soda and spices together. Add to the butter mixture.
Add zucchini and carrots. Mix until just combined.
Stir in nuts and raisins.
Pour batter into the pan or pans and bake 45 minutes to an hour, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
Cool 10 minutes before removing from the pan, then cool completely.
Sift the powdered sugar into a bowl. Mix 1 teaspoon water with orange extract. Add to sugar and mix thoroughly. Add water, if needed, 1/4 teaspoon at a time, until icing is of a spreadable consistency.

1 C. yellow raisins
1 C. currants, chopped
1 1/3 C. sugar
1/2 t. cinnamon
1/2 t. mace

8 oz. (2 sticks) butter, melted
4 large eggs, lightly beaten
few drops of almond extract

For flaming:
1/2 C. 151 rum or whiskey
Toss the bread crumbs in a large mixing bowl with the raisins, sugar and spices. Then toss with the melted butter, and finally with the rest of the ingredients.
To steam, you must use a container with a very tight lid which will stay sealed throughout the cooking, about 6 hours.
Pack the pudding mixture into the container; cover with a round of wax paper and the lid. Set the container on the steamer in the pot, and add enough water to come a third of the way up the sides of the container. Cover the pot tightly, bring to a simmer, and steam about 6 hours. Check occasionally to make sure the water hasn't boiled off.
The pudding is done when it is a dark walnut-brown color and fairly firm to the touch.

1 t. vanilla extract
2 cups toasted pecan pieces, for finishing
1 8-x-8-x-2-inch pan, buttered and the bottom lined with a square of parchment or wax paper
1 2- to 3-quart trifle or other crystal or glass bowl
For the gingerbread, preheat oven to 350° F. and set a rack in the middle level. Combine flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt and spices in a mixing bowl and stir well to mix. Beat butter and sugar until light and fluffy, by hand or by machine on medium speed. Beat in egg, and continue beating until smooth. Stir molasses and milk together and add to butter mixture with dry ingredients. Fold batter together with a rubber spatula. Scrape batter into prepared pan. Bake gingerbread about 35 to 45 minutes, until well risen and firm in the center. Cool in pan 5 minutes, then unmold to a rack to cool completely.
For the applesauce, peel and core the apples and cut coarsely. Place in a pan with a cover with the sugar and water and cook, covered, for 5 minutes, until the apples begin to disintegrate. Uncover and cook until slightly thickened, stirring often. Cool and puree in food processor, or leave chunky if you wish.
For the whipped cream, combine all ingredients and whip by machine until the cream forms a very soft peak.
To assemble, cut the gingerbread into thin vertical slices and layer in a bowl alternating with applesauce, whipped cream and toasted pecans. End with whipped cream and pecans. Chill until serving time and serve with a large spoon.

Home: Arrival JFK 22h 35 midnight so on site, a person at the reception quite incompetent at 2am still in their offices to get the keys, finally obtained after waking the boss of the agency and the phone threat to call the police. My family so 2 young children, meanwhile, in the street with suitcases.
Apartment rented for 8 people, 4 bedrooms, but certainly both won on the living room, dining area by a plywood partition.
Therefore the living room was limited to less than 9 m2.
For 8 people, only 1 bathroom, tiny with the toilet inside, easy to manage for 8.
Furthermore, all in all 4 chairs, 4 glasses no towels ...
no machine, dishes or laundry.
Only reaction of the agency, lamps were changed suckled and large plastic tape has been to close off the wall on the street.
Cleanliness very limit.
In addition an amount for late arrival was taken as well as a non-recovered deposited $ 525 to date.
accueil : arrivée JFK 22h 35 donc minuit sur site, une personne à l'accueil tout à fait incompétente, à 2 h du matin toujours dans leurs bureaux pour obtenir les clefs, obtenus enfin après réveil du patron de l'agence au téléphone et menace d'appeler la police. Ma famille donc 2 jeunes enfants , pendant ce temps, dans la rue avec les valises.
Appartement loué pour 8 personnes, 4 chambres, certes mais deux gagnées sur le salon, salle à manger par une cloison de contreplaqué.
De ce fait la pièce à vivre se limitait à moins de 9 m2.
Pour 8 personnes, 1 seule salle de bain, minuscule avec les toilettes à l'intérieur,facile à gérer pour 8.
Par ailleurs, en tout et pour tout 4 chaises, 4 verres pas de torchons …
aucune machine, vaisselle ou linge.
Seule réaction de l'agence, des lampes ont tété changées et du gros scotch plastique a été mis pour obturer le mur sur la rue.
État de propreté très limite.
Qui plus est un montant pour arrivée tardive a été prélevé de même qu'un déposait de 525 $ non récupéré à ce jour.
We arrived NY 13 April in glorious sunshine and retrieved the key to our apartment. The apartment was very central, with lots Puper, restaurants, Amy's Bread across the street where we bought fresh bread every day, and small grocery stores. The apartment was somewhat worn, do lid was loose, missing legs on one dining room chair, and for us who had planned to cook something yourself, it lacked some service. Glass was little off, so it had to be cleaned up after each time. It also lacked things like wash rag. No problem to buy, but seems it's like going to lie there. The bathroom was very soft after shower. When we arrived the apartment was this really hot and we were airing one bedroom. The window allowed himself open, but not again. This was also the bedroom off the main street so it was impossible to be there. We tried calling arrival, but got no reply. We went there the next day and they said they were aware of the problem. We were not the first this had happened. First Friday they turned up and repaired the window. This meant that three of us had to share a bedroom. So far no problem, but it was not what we had paid for. This draws some down.
Conclusion: The location was very good, but do not think it was been the 26,000 we paid for a week in respect of the things mentioned.
Vi ankom NY 13. april i strålende solskinn og hentet nøkkelen til vår leilighet. Leiligheten lå veldig sentralt, med masse puper, restauranter, Amys bread rett over gaten hvor vi kjøpte fersk brød hver dag og små butikker for dagligvare. Leiligheten var noe slitt, do lokk som var løs, manglende ben på den ene spisestue stolen, og for oss som hadde planlagt å lage noe mat selv, manglet det en del service. Glass var det lite av, så det måtte vaskes opp etter hver gang. Det manglet også ting som vaskefille. Ikke noe problem å kjøpe, men synes det er sånt som skulle ligge der. Badet ble veldig bløtt etter dusj. Da vi ankom leiligheten var denne veldig varm og vi skulle lufte det ene soverommet. Vinduet lot seg åpne, men ikke igjen. Dette var også soverommet ut mot hovedgaten så det ble umulig å ligge der. Vi prøvde å ringe ankomstdagen, men fikk ikke svar. Vi dro dit dagen etter og de sa de var klar over problemet. Vi var ikke de første dette hadde skjedd med. Først fredag dukket de opp og reparerte vinduet. Det betydde at tre av oss måtte dele et soverom. Forså vidt ikke noe problem, men det var ikke det vi hadde betalt for. Dette trekker en del ned.
Konklusjon: Beliggenheten var veldig bra, men synes ikke det var vært de 26 tusen vi betalte for en uke med hensyn til de tingene som er nevnt.
The stay was dreadful. Drafts in the flat. No heating (in November !!!). We were supposed to stay 6 nights, we stayed 2, we tooked refuge in a hotel... Humidity, mold. Painting hides poverty. Owners didn't want to give the money back. One room didn't have window.
We´ve been with 8 People in this appartement. Location was great quick steps to broadway and other interesting places like circle line, 5th AV etc. Appartement was clean but small for 8 people you have to improve a bit - chair and table for 4 persons only on the other hand no space for ore. They were very flexible to change towels once - no problem at all. Only really negative point was 1 bathroom and toilet but this was known before from us. Everything a bit old and toilet and shower was blocked once. At the end nice and clean but you must be flexible to stay there with 8 people.
The apartment served us well during our recent stay in New York. The location is excellent, nice affluent area with lovely restaurants and bars close by. The Subway stop is only one block away on 79th st and this leads to all attractions. The apartment is relatively spacious, 2 of the bedrooms are much bigger than the other 2 and some of the plug sockets and air con units don't work, Wi-Fi is flakey but other than this we would highly recommend the apartment, it was extremely clean with plenty of towels and bedding.
This is an agency that manages the nominated property, they are available at your service in case of problems, as was our case upon arrival with the apartment door that remained locked with inability to reopen. Reactivity was perfect from the team. Regarding the apartment itself, it is quite the pictures and description, spacious, however little light as recessed floor but as we spent our nights only this n was not a concern. The location is great (5 minutes walk from two metro stations). I recommend this apartment to stay in New York. We really enjoyed the scene
C'est une agence qui gère le bien proposé, ils sont disponibles, à votre service en cas de problème comme ce fut notre cas dès l'arrivée avec la porte de l'appartement qui est restée fermée à clef avec impossibilité de la rouvrir. La réactivité a été parfaite de la part de l'équipe. En ce qui concerne l'appartement en lui-même; il correspond tout à fait à la description et aux photos, spacieux, en revanche peu de lumière car en RDC encastré mais étant donné que nous n'y avons passé que nos nuits ce n'était pas un souci. L'emplacement est idéal (5mn à pied de 2 stations de métro). Je recommande ce logement pour un séjour à New York. Nous avons vraiment apprécié les lieux
A perfect week in the city which never sleep...
2 minutes by foot of time square, 5 minutes of the 5th avenue, what more can you ask for?...
We stay at 4 adults and a baby on the flat and the size was perfect.
Raphael and his colleague always answer to all the mail and the service to pick up off the keys or leave the luggages on the last day was very appreciable!
For our next trip in NYC we call upon to Raphael and Casanova Condos for sure! So don't hesitate to!
Appatement change at the last minute and was replaced without giving us any choice other supposedly more expensive quieter so old so ... Way of saying that that I had chosen was noisy, small, and old! S without Lay on the fact of not being able to choose the apartment (only one choice therefore propose ps choice) on sale the existence of what they call a terrace but which is only a tiny balcony and one forgets to mention that the three th room is located 3 meters in height and is accessible by a ladder of "fireman" prohibiting descent half asleep at night when needed very natural! If we add to this picture the fact that a 3 m high it is twice as hot that down!! and that the air conditioning in the main room was broken (say that we were moved to apartment bp air conditioning (that said when you see the shape of the air conditioning that date after war sounds like a truck when one is edge of the highway, and not as it refreshes!!)) thing that it took us to report (it would be better to put a person that the air conditioning before we arrived which would have allowed al office to anticipate the renewal the defective air conditioning. Having said problem reported and resolved the very next day but effective overwhelmed corner store!! In summary it is clear that the demand for rental apartment is huge and that we rent all year and no matter what any price! !The apartment that I had announced a selected area of 75 m2 on your site and the owner told me he will never declared such a surface (the one that I had finally got to half or slightly more. Unfortunate mismatch between the site and Like any reality places (too?) popular we feel that if it does not suit us we found a shovel to others! But note the good observed during this holiday apartment actually very quiet sides overlooking a leafy courtyard bp réqolue air conditioning during the day (outright the prehistoric defective air conditioning replacement) ideal location not far from the very last. Bb 5 floor (one is 4 to usa) without lift that muscle the quad and glutes!
Appatement change au dernier moment et est remplacé sans nous donner de choix par un autre soi disant plus cher plus calme moins vieux etc ...
Façon de dire que celui que j avais choisi etait bruyant, petit , et vieux !!!
Sans s etendre sur le fait de ne plus pouvoir choisir l appartement (un seul choix proposer donc ps de choix ) on vente l existence de ce qu ils appellent une terrasse mais qui n est qu un minuscule balcon et on oublie de préciser que la 3 eme chambre se situe a 3 metres de hauteur et est accessible que par une echelle de "pompier" interdisant toute descente a moitié endormie pendant la nuit en cas de besoin bien naturel !!!
Si on rajoute a ce tableau le fait qu a 3 m de hauteur il fait deux fois plus chaud qu en bas !!!!!! et que la clim de la piece principale etait en panne (dire qu on nous a changé d appartement pour pb de clim (ceci dit quand vous voyez l allure de la clim ça date d apres guerre, fait un bruit de camion quand on est au bord de l autoroute , et ne raffraichit pas tant que ça !!!!)) chose qu il a fallut que nous signalions (il serait bien venu qu une personne mette la clim avant notre arrivée ce qui aurait permis a l office d anticiper le renouvelement de la clim defectueuse . Ceci dit probleme signalé et résolu dés le lendemain depanneur efficace mais débordé !!!!
En résumé on voit bien que la demande de location d appartement est énorme et qu on loue tout et n importe quoi a n importe quel prix !!!
L appartement que j avais choisi annoncait une surface de 75 m2 sur votre site et le loueur m a dit que jamais il n avait déclaré une telle surface (celui que j ai eu finalement devait faire la moitié ou legerement plus .
Discordance regrettable entre le site et la réalité
Comme tout les endroits très (trop?) prisés on sent que si ça ne nous convient pas on en trouvera a la pelle d autres !!
Mais notons les bons cotés observés pendant ce séjour appartement effectivement très calme donnant sur une cour interieure arborée pb de clim réqolue dans la journée (remplacement pur et simple de la clim préhistorique defectueuse) situation ideale pas loin de tout . dernier bemol 5 etage (4 on est aux usa) sans ascenseur ça muscle les quadri et les fessiers !!!
Approx. one week before the departure we were offered an alternative apartment, as in the booked allegedly went no hot water. The new apartment was booked near the Empire Sate Building `s and greater than that. We also had 2 heads instead of one. Key handover went smoothly. However, they gave us the wrong address in the office (143 West instead of East, 143) and thus again we had to take a detour in purchasing. The new apartment was clean and as described. We felt comfortable and we would stay there again.
Ca. eine Woche vor der Abreise wurde uns eine alternative Wohnung angeboten, da in der gebuchten angeblich kein warmes Wasser ging. Die neue Wohnung war in der Nähe des Empire Sate Building`s und größer als die gebuchte. Außerdem hatten wir 2 Nasszellen statt nur einer. Schlüsselübergabe verlief problemlos. Allerdings hat man uns im Büro die falsche Adresse gegeben (West 143 statt East 143) und wir mussten somit nochmal einen Umweg in Kauf nehmen. Die neue Wohnung war sauber und wie beschrieben. Wir haben uns dort wohl gefühlt und würden wieder dort buchen.
Hallo Everybody!
First of all, we were surprised to find out, that the keys needed to be picked up in another place. We asked to meet at the apartment as we want to be sure everything is clean and work properly. Host did not accept our proposal. Now we know the reason.
The apartment is a nightmare!. It is DIRTY!!!! Hair and spots all over the place (no wonder, they do not have a vacuum cleaner, only an old and dirty broom). There are 2 ½ bathroom, each of them were in terrible conditions, you will find black spots in the showers (fungus). Doors cannot be looked up as the door knobs are broken.
We (ten people) spend money buying cleaning stuff, and several hours cleaning the apartment. It was not possible to contact the office, as they went home by then.
Next day, we called the office and explained the situation. A lady was sent to clean, but without the most necessary tools to do it professionally, as written in the homepage. There were not enough bed clothes, dishes and pans.
Besides all the dirt, following appliances were not working properly: Washing machine, internet, and AIR CONDITIONING. We would like to mention, that the outside temperature in New York was around 36 and 40 °C.
Dealing with the people of "Casanova Condos" was very unpleasant. They are very rough. We were insulted. Our host "Raphael" never showed up. The manager offered us $400.00 for the cleaning, and all other costs we had (taxis to the office and several calls to Spain and Germany looking for support with WINDU). We never received the money. The explanation was that we broke 4 beds. We were not allowed to go back into the apartment to proof this was not the true.
If you care about cleanliness and good maintenance of the place you want to stay, this is not the place for YOU. We checked at the Consumer Office of New York City and found out "Casanova Condo" is not recommended as a serious business partner

Despite official repression, Sri Lanka media report attack
Details are emerging of Sri Lanka's effort to control media coverage of an ugly attack on demonstrators by security forces last week. In Rathupaswala village in the town of Weliweriya, outside Colombo, on August 1, soldiers beat and fired on people protesting what they feared was contamination of their drinking water by a nearby factory. Most media accounts say three people died and 50 were wounded (here is AP and AFP coverage). Journalists, reports say, were singled out.

Negotiations under way could also give Air New Zealand access to wealthy Gulf state.
Negotiations this month could allow Qatar Airways, one of the fastest-growing airlines in the world - to fly to New Zealand.
Ministry of Transport officials are meeting their counterparts from the Arab nation with the aim of establishing formal air links between the two countries.
A ministry spokesman said Qatar had approached New Zealand last year and it had been determined that it fitted within this country's open skies policy framework. If negotiations are successful and the Government approves, a formal treaty could be signed.
"From our point of view if it's an open skies agreement then they can fly from wherever through wherever to any airport where they can reach an agreement," the spokesman said.
"We want to have as few restrictions as possible and then it's up to Qatar Airways to talk to New Zealand airports."
It would be a two-way agreement which could allow Air New Zealand to fly to Qatar.
The talks with Qatar are the only air service agreement negotiations on at present.
An Auckland Airport spokesman said there had been an approach from Qatar Airways several years ago but nothing had come of it.
While Qatar would be mindful of Emirates' strong presence here, there were a number of Middle Eastern and Chinese airlines that were expansionary and scoping opportunities outside of traditional routes and hubs.
"There's a number of airlines with indications of intent but they're not at the advanced business case stage."
Qatar Airways started flying in 1993 and says it has built up a fleet of 120 aircraft with orders for a further 200 planes worth $36 billion. It pitches itself as a premium carrier based on a modern fleet and full service although one of its most recent additions, the Boeing 787, remains grounded.
Its global network spans key business and leisure destinations across Europe, the Middle East, Africa, Asia Pacific, North America and South America, with scheduled flights operating to and from its hub in Doha, Qatar's capital.
Qatar has a population of about two million and, based on oil and gas revenue, is one of the wealthiest countries in the world per head.
With other government-owned Middle Eastern airlines, Emirates - which flies four daily flights from New Zealand - and Etihad Airways, Qatar's hub is challenging traditional ones in London, Paris and Amsterdam. The key to the airlines' rapid growth is geography.
Their hubs in Qatar and the United Arab Emirates are an eight-hour flight away from two-thirds of the world's population, including a growing middle class in India, China and Southeast Asia that is eager to travel.
In the past five years, the annual number of passengers travelling through Dubai International Airport, home to Emirates, has jumped from 28.8 million to 51 million, a 77 per cent increase.
"Everybody accepts that the balance of global economic power is shifting to the east. The geographic position of the Gulf hubs makes them much more relevant today," said Willie Walsh, chief executive of International Airlines Group, the parent company of British Airways and Iberia. additional reporting AP


text: I have been thinking about this for a while and hope I put it in the right words. Do the commercial bee keepers worry about all the people that are getting involved in bee keeping and see a problem with it? Also have people that started to do bees and started to grow there hive population and then had more people in the community get involved and have it hurt their business or there bees and how have you overcome that. The reason why I ask these questions I heard that my ifa stores around the area that I live is going to start to sell beekeeping supplies and bees. I hope you can understand my questions thanks so much. I have loved this form.

Press Report: The Led Zeppelin concert at the showgrounds last Sunday must rate as one of the best ever held in Sydney - but, if the crowd had not stormed the fences, it could have been the worst.
The official attendence figure was 27,000 but senior police officers at the concert estimated the crowd at "at least 30,000". According to showground officials the three stands used last Sunday have a maximum capacity of 25,000 - so whatever way you look at it the ground was dangerously overcrowded.
Despite the fact that there were no seats left at mid-day and no standing room by 1.30pm., people were still coming through the gates at 2.30pm. The overcrowding that existed before the fences were stormed must never be allowed to occur again because next time someone could be killed in the crush. Once capacity is reached the gates should be closed. David D. Bryant The Sun-Herald, 5 March 1972, p. 109.

Led Zeplin Concert Sydney Feb 1972
One of the most memorable concerts I have been to firstly because of the fantastic set & absolute professionalism of the band's performance on very hot & steamy summer afternoon. Secondly, I met my girlfriend there (she's now my wife - married 36 years!!) - she jumped a fence with several hundred others to get entry as there were no tickets left ! She was simply walking past me & my mates in the crowd 50,000 when I spotted her !! Thanks Led Zep !!
