10 Healthy Dinners for About $10
Make 10 healthy family dinners for about $10 each with these recipes from Food Network Kitchens.
10 Healthy Dinners for About $10
Even on a budget, it's still possible to put a healthy (and delicious) dinner on the table every night. These 10 dishes from Food Network Kitchens feed a family of four for about $10 per meal. (The least-expensive dinner totals $8.36 and the top-priced one is $11.24; most are in between.) The lineup includes something for everyone: Chicken, pork, beef and seafood are all on the menu, as well as two vegetarian main dishes (one of which is gluten-free). Each dinner includes vegetables, so you can be sure you're getting a well-rounded meal, and any rice, pasta or bread that's used is whole-grain.
Roast Chicken and Vegetables
This healthy and easy take on a Sunday roast involves nothing complicated at all: Just roast potatoes, carrots, celery and onion (tossed with a little olive oil) on a baking sheet, and then place the chicken breasts on top to cook.

Antipasti Penne
Borrow a few favorite antipasto ingredients — like artichoke hearts, olives, soppressata and mozzarella — to fill out a simple tomato sauce for whole-grain penne.

Vegetarian Tortilla Casserole
Corn tortillas form the layers of this meatless casserole, which is filled with vegetables (tomato and spinach, plus a little salsa verde) and sprinkled with two kinds of cheese.

Breaded Pork Chops with Apple-Cabbage Slaw
Inspired by fried pork chops and applesauce, this healthier dinner includes baked pork chops breaded with whole-wheat panko, plus a crunchy slaw of apples and cabbage. The finishing touch is a sour cream and Dijon mustard sauce.

Bacon and Broccoli Rice Bowl
Far more fun and colorful than the usual drab rice bowl, this dinner pairs brown rice with chopped bacon, a hard-boiled egg, and a good helping of broccoli and carrots.

Beefy Stuffed Sweet Potato
In this smarter spin on a meat and potatoes meal, the potato (in this case, a beta carotene-rich sweet potato) takes center stage and is topped with an easy ground beef filling. For a quick vegetable side, serve a simple salad of shredded carrots and cilantro.

Bean, Kale and Egg Stew
For a vegetarian dinner that's rich in protein, try this bean and kale stew topped with a fried egg. On the side: Enjoy a slice of whole-grain toast topped with melted cheddar cheese.

Chicken, Pepper and Corn Stir-Fry
This 30-minute dinner quickly brings together a delicious combination of meat (boneless chicken thighs) and colorful veggies (red bell peppers and frozen corn). You can cook the meal in a wok or a nonstick skillet.
Get the Recipe: Chicken, Pepper and Corn Stir-Fry
Spicy Fish and Olive Spaghetti
Get a healthy portion of protein and fiber by cooking pieces of tilapia in an easy garlic and tomato sauce and then tossing them with whole-grain spaghetti.

Quinoa with Chicken and Lentils
Use leftover rotisserie chicken to round out this flavorful dinner that incorporates quinoa (a good source of plant protein), green beans and browned onions. Then garnish with almonds and spoon a dollop of Greek yogurt on top.

Johnny Depp: Puff Puff Give on the "Mortdecai" Set?
It's no secret that celebrities have to deal with an ungodly amount of stress, and it seems Johnny Depp may have been chilling out with a little help from his friend Mary Jane on Thursday (January 9).
Following a long day of filming his new project "Mortdecai," the "Rum Diary" hunk was observed passing a suspicious-looking cigarette to a friend as he stepped out of his trailer, sparking rumors that he's been sparking up..
And as Johnny packed up and headed home for the day, he definitely had a carefree and happy smile on his face, perhaps the result of the sticky icky.
Also starring Ewan McGregor, Olivia Munn and Gwyneth Paltrow, "Mortdecai" is about "art dealer Charles Mortdecai as he searches for a stolen painting rumored to contain a secret code that gains access to hidden Nazi gold."

Crikey, if only Hawke's Bay Magpies rugby coach Craig Philpott had known about Mikey Vuicakau's powerful contact earlier.
Powerful contact?
Winger Vuicakau revealed yesterday his Christian beliefs which involve prayers for the Magpies and himself before each game. The prayers obviously work as Vuicakau, the Fijian flyer, has yet to play in a losing Magpies team. All Blacks prop Ben Franks is the only other Magpie to be two and zero this season.
Vuicakau scored two tries during a memorable 31-29 pre-season win against Taranaki in Taupo in August and while he didn't get on the score sheet he played with similar enthusiasm and finesse in his only ITM Cup outing of the season, last week's 35-24 win against Wellington at Napier's McLean Park. When asked if his prayers will work when the Magpies take on the Otago Razorbacks in Sunday's Championship semifinal at Dunedin's Forsyth Barr Stadium, a busy day for the powerful bloke, Vuicakau, 26, replied "we will have to wait and see".
God hasn't been the only one giving Vuicakau the thumbs up in recent days. The 2011 Wairarapa Bush representative who arrived in the Bay last year with the aim of playing Sevens for Havelock North and Hawke's Bay pointed out his mother Mamaini and sister Ciri back in Fiji watched the win against Wellington live on television and afterwards sent congratulatory messages via Facebook.
The lightest member of the Magpies squad at 83kgs, Vuicakau, who lives with fiancee Courtney Hocking in Hastings, described the Wellington match as the "hardest and happiest" of his career to date.
Vuicakau signed a one-season contract with the Magpies this year and he knows he must reproduce his form from last week again on Sunday and in a possible final if he is going to have any chance of scoring a 2014 contract. Otherwise he will have to use his Hawke's Bay Sevens campaign to stake a claim.
He has no qualms about having to wait until round 10 to get a taste of Cup play.
"I knew if I kept being patient and worked hard at trainings my time would come."
Vuicakau will mark Buxton Popoali'i on Sunday. Both players are right foot steppers and are both capable of turning on plenty of razzle dazzle in perfect indoor stadium facilities. This duel has the potential to be worth the price of admission alone.
Philpott has been impressed with his troops' buildup this week. He has kept second five-eighth Andrew Horrell in cotton wool following his leg injury collected in last week's win against Wellington but he is confident Horrell will be ready to rock come Sunday.
Philpott has no doubt his Razorbacks counterpart Tony Brown would have monitored the Magpies' improvement during the past three weeks.
"Tony [Brown] will have come up with a couple of interesting plans both defensively and attacking-wise. It's important we go down there with our heads up and eyes open," Philpott said.
While Philpott won't release his team to the public until this afternoon, and it will be a surprise if there any changes to the 22 used against the Lions, Brown has named his. It includes three changes to the side which beat Auckland last weekend. Two are in the tight five, where the younger legs of Craig Millar and Tom Franklin return after being rested for the win over Auckland last Sunday.
Millar, who has had an impressive debut season, replaces Tama Tuirirangi at loosehead prop, while new Highlanders signing Franklin replaces Charlie O'Connell at lock.
The only change to the backline is an injury-enforced switch at fullback, where Peter Breen starts in place of Tony Ensor. The luckless Ensor has suffered a second major injury of the season. He missed six weeks after sustaining a dislocated shoulder in the Ranfurly Shield challenge against Waikato, and now has a knee problem.
The Razorbacks key impact loose forward TJ Ioane has a shoulder strain and is bracketed with Willis Scott on the bench.
As expected Hawke's Bay age group product Gareth Evans starts alongside fellow flanker Lee Allan and captain and No8 Paul Grant in the Razorbacks' loose forward trio.
If the Magpies' likely loose trio of captain Mike Coman, fellow flanker Brendon O'Connor and Karl Lowe can repeat their form produced in the Wellington victory the host trio will be in for a tough day at the office.
Hastings Boys' High School product Sam Anderson-Heather will again be the substitute hooker for the hosts.
The Otago team is:
Peter Breen, Buxton Popoali'i, Kieran Moffat, Jayden Spence, Matt Faddes, Hayden Parker, Fumiaki Tanaka, Paul Grant (captain), Lee Allan, Gareth Evans, Tom Franklin, Tom Donnelly, Scott Manson, Liam Coltman, Craig Millar. Substitutes: Forwards, Sam Anderson-Heather, Aki Seiuli, Charlie O'Connell, Ezra Taylor, TJ Ioane or Willis Scott; Backs, Josh Renton, Tei Walden.

This is great with any BBQ meal.
For Sandwiches: I especially like this with BBQ Beef sandwich or pulled pork sandwich. I personally broil buttered Kaiser Rolls that have a little parmesan cheese on the buttered side (like Texas toast). I then put a heaping pile of succulent BBQ Beef or Pulled Pork (mouth watering yet?) on the bottom half of toasted Kaiser roll, top with the coleslaw and put the Lid (the top half of the Kaiser roll) on the sandwich.
- Yield
- 8 servings
- 8 slices fried bacon, crumbled into bits.
- 3/4 cup mayo
- 2 Tbs. red wine vinegar
- 1 Tbs. honey
- 1- 16 ounce bag of coleslaw
- (buy the pre bagged shredded cabbage, no dressing)
- 1 cup crumbled blue cheese.
- Mix the mayo, red wine vinegar and Honey in a bowl. Toss cabbage with blue cheese crumbs and bacon bits. Then add the mayo mixture about an hour before serving.

She snagged the spokes model spot at Givenchy this year, and now Amanda Seyfried shares her thoughts about teaming up with the luxury fashion company in the May 2014 issue of Glow magazine.
While striking a few poses for the publication's photo shoot, the "Les Miserables" star dished about style of Givenchy and her reaction to the brand's well-known perfume Very Irrésistible L'eau en rose.
She's made quite a name for herself in Hollywood since her breakout role in "Mean Girls," and now Amanda Seyfried shares details about her career in the April 2014 issue of W magazine.
Calling attention to a security blunder, Amanda Seyfried revealed that she accidentally carried a knife onboard a plane on Friday (March 14).
Taking a photo of her small blade, the "Les Misérables" actress tweeted, "Dear TSA: This Swiss Army knife wasn't detected through security and I unknowingly carried it on board. Scary!"
Not just blowing smoke on Thursday's (March 6) episode of "The Tonight Show," Lindsay Lohan was actually serious about a "Mean Girls" reunion, which has reportedly been in the works for several weeks now!
2014 marks the 10-year anniversary of the hit movie's release, and Tina Fey is in charge of the reunion, hoping to bring back the entire cast for the event.
Getting in her daily exercise, Amanda Seyfried took her pooch pal for a hike at Runyon Canyon in Los Angeles on Thursday afternoon (February 27).
The "Lovelace" starlet donned a baby blue t-shirt and listened to her red Beats earbuds as she led Finn around the park, enjoying the mild SoCal weather.
Taking care of the weekly shopping list in West Hollywood, "Lovelace" beauty Amanda Seyfried went out for groceries on Wednesday (February 26).
Cute with her hair collected into a busy pony tail, the 28-year-old actress sported a gray sweatshirt with a pair of stunning Adidas yoga pants, carrying a massive load of goodies, making her way home.
Diving into the comedy world, Amanda Seyfried reportedly signed on to play the female lead in Seth MacFarlane's "Ted 2."
According to Deadline, the "Les Miserables" star will star alongside Mark Wahlberg and the animated bear in the sequel written and directed by the "Family Guy" creator.
With one of the most impressive ensemble casts of the year, "A Million Ways to Die in the West" just unveiled a series of promotional character posters and a red band trailer.
The new artwork features babes like Charlize Theron, Amanda Seyfried and Sarah Silverman all dressed up in their period-correct garb.

Sealing a Concrete Garage
Hello All,
I have a detached concrete brick garage, and when it rains, the concrete bricks soak up the water and leak on the inside of the garage around the base of each wall. With all the rain we've had this year my garage has been wet a lot. Is there a sealer or epoxy I can apply to the outside walls of the garage that will waterproof the concrete bricks?
wouldn't expect so much wtr soaking thru conc bricks ( btw, what ARE they - sure you don't mean 8"x16" concrete block ? ) you don't say IF the blocks are above OR below grade - try this stuff - http://www.amesresearch.com/ - [ no financial interest ]
Yes, it is 8x16 concrete blocks. Water does soak through because when it rains the blocks are wet inside the garage. Thanks for the advice, I'll check it out.
not so fast, grasshopper :no: are the wet leaking blocks on the lower courses or below the level of the outside ground ? difficult to think the blocks would be that porous & still be able to support the weight of upper blocks & roof structure,,, you might just need a block filler (sher-wms, duron ) if they're bare block,,, obviously remove/drain any standing wtr, too
If it's just the bottom course or two, non-fibered foundation coating (tar) would probably do the trick if there aren't any large gaps. If it's taller and will be more visible there are plenty of water resistant paints on the market to fill it with.
The blocks get wet at the top and middle of the wall inside the garage. This is just concrete block walls, no paint, no drywall on the inside. The blocks have the 2 hollow sections in them. When it rains the entire wall from the roof to the floor gets wet. The roof is not leaking (just replaced last year).
You should really look into the roof situation, depending on what you have for an overhang, as Mike stated above. If you can rule that out, I'd consider using a waterproofing masonry paint on the OUTSIDE only. Let the interior be bare block, so the moisture has a way out of the block.
I know it is not the roof. Its been checked more than once in the rain. I'm going to try a sealer and go from there.

G&T Home Textiles
August 18, 2008,
QINGDAO, China—G&T Home Textiles is developing an international reputation for a combination of superior customer service and high quality products.
Under the direction of general manager Gao Qing, the privately owned company has reached annual sales of US $10 million and is growing at a rate of 10 percent annually. G&T provides a broad assortment of bedding and accessories, including comforter sets, sheets, duvet covers, blankets, throws and table covers. The company's entire production is targeted at the export market, with the United States and Europe the most important markets.
"The U.S. market is a key, important market to our company," comments Gao. "Over the past few years, we have emphasized developing samples specifically to fit this market, and we have enlarged our production capacity to serve our customers. We hope to find new channels of distribution for our products in future years—we have long-term programs and plans for this market."
G&T prides itself on offering excellent customer service. "We offer rapid responses to our customers' requests and change from ideas to samples in just a few short days," Gao states. "This enables us to keep in step with our customers, and to be up-to-date on market trends. Also, over many years of cooperation with our customers, we have learned what the market needs, and we launch new collections in short runs. This keeps us in a stable position with our customers, even in a challenging market situation."
The company also emphasizes its high quality standards. "To offer customers higher-than-expected quality is always our most important pursuit," Gao declares.
G&T currently is emphasizing natural fibers designed to appeal to today's comfort-seeking consumers. "The looks and colors will be more natural and contemporary," Gao says. "We interpret this trend in our company's new lines by using completely natural fibers, including cotton and natural blends. The natural fibers give our bedding more of a comfortable, soft touch."
G&T exhibits its products at major international venues, including the New York Home Fashions Market, Germany's Heimtextil show, the Canton Fair and Intertextile Shanghai. "G&T is one of the best manufacturers and trading companies for home textiles products," Gao asserts. "We are always very concerned with offering the perfect combination of local, exquisite craftsmanship and innovation in design. Our emphasis on total quality and service are designed to meet our customers' high standards."

Call it a bull market in fear.
The popularity of the VIX index, which has become a widely watched barometer of investor fear since the financial crisis, is generating a host of spinoffs, copycats and derivatives. It is adding up to big business for VIX's owner, the Chicago Board Options Exchange, as well as partners and competitors that have developed products pegged to, or inspired by, the VIX.
VIX clones have sprung up in Australia, Canada and India. There are now VIX-like measures in the crude-oil and gold markets. Soon, there will be a VIX each for corn and soybeans. The popularity of the index has fueled growth in futures and options just to bet on the VIX itself.
Formally known as the CBOE Market Volatility Index, the VIX tracks the prices investors pay for options to protect themselves against swings in the Standard & Poor's 500-stock index. An increase in those prices suggests an increase in investor anxiety. It is also used as a short-term predictor of investor behavior.
"There's not a bubble in volatility—investors can expect more of that—but there's certainly one in products to trade it," said Michael McCarty, managing partner of Austin, Texas-based Differential Research. Mr. McCarty and others in the industry predict that not all the new offerings will survive. Interest in fear gauges seems likely to wane once markets settle, they say.
The CBOE is the main beneficiary of the boom as it collects licensing and transaction fees on most VIX-related products. The CBOE and its partners are tight-lipped about the terms of the deals, but Ticonderoga Securities analyst Chris Allen estimates the VIX is now worth at least $300 million to the exchange. That is about one-eighth the company's entire market capitalization.
"The VIX is one of the fastest-growing products in the history of the business," CBOE Chairman William Brodsky said in an interview.
The VIX has become such big business that the CBOE expanded the pit that houses trading in VIX products at a time when volume in the industry has been largely flat. The pit was built to be deliberately roomy so it could accommodate an expected explosion in VIX-related trading. The pit has plenty of empty posts, contrasting with the crowded nearby pit for trading S&P 500 options.
Trading volume in VIX options alone rose 42% in the third quarter from a year earlier, according to the CBOE. VIX options worth more than a notional $120 billion have traded on the exchange this year, according to CBOE figures.
Every time one of these options on the VIX trades, the CBOE collects a fee, making it the most promising money maker for the exchange. The fees added up to $6.4 million in the third quarter, which if replicated again, could see the exchange reap at least $25 million this year.
Other firms and exchanges are also seeking to capitalize on the VIX's popularity.
Over at CME Group Inc. (NASDAQ: CME - News), a whole separate group of traders is trading futures on the VIX. Investment banks such as Citigroup Inc. (NYSE: C - News), Barclays PLC (NYSE: BCS - News) and Credit Suisse Group are using the VIX to create complex new exchange-traded notes tied to the index. The Nasdaq OMX Group (NASDAQ: NDAQ - News) recently launched competing "Alpha Indexes."
Some worry that the broad array of products and growth in trading of VIX options and futures could attract investors who don't fully understand the risks. The options can swing wildly in price as sentiment shifts, and investors could easily be caught off guard.
Even having a barometer of fear can make it easier for that fear to spread. That was brought into stark relief during the financial crisis through the ABX indexes, rough measures of mortgage-backed debt prices, and credit-default swaps, which reflect sentiment on individual borrowers. Both have been demonized as products that only compound investor nervousness.
"Derivatives themselves are a good product, but using them without being educated on how they work will eventually lead to big trouble," said Joe Kinahan, TD Ameritrade chief derivatives strategist. For example, he said, VIX options have an inverse relationship to the market, something that has tripped up unsuspecting investors.
For example, investors who had bet against stock-market volatility in April after a strong run in the stock market would have lost money in the May 6 "flash crash," which saw the VIX spike. But less volatile environments can also cause traders to lose money. For instance, investors who bet on a rocky fall for stocks by buying VIX "call" options saw their investments' value mostly bleed away, especially after the midterm elections and the Federal Reserve's quantitative-easing news.
Headaches for the CBOE have also been created by unwelcome copycats.
Last year, California investment firm AlphaShares LLC launched the AlphaShares Chinese Volatility Index, or "CHIX." It tracks gyrations in the Chinese market but isn't licensed by the CBOE.
CHIX has caused a spat between the CBOE and AlphaShares, with CBOE asking AlphaShares to tone down its references to the VIX. CBOE declined to comment. AlphaShares, of Walnut Creek, Calif., describes the China index as a "tribute" to the VIX.
The VIX was born when the CBOE commissioned Robert Whaley, then a professor at Duke University, to design a market-volatility index. He presented the math equation that would become the VIX in a 1993 academic paper. VIX futures became tradable in 2004, followed by VIX options in 2006, enabling investors to bet on the direction of the VIX.
For his part, Prof. Whaley says he wondered what took the market so long to see the benefits of being able to hedge against, or bet on, volatility in the stock market.
"Their current trading volume figures say they now understand," said Prof. Whaley, who is now at Vanderbilt University's Owen Graduate School of Management.
It wasn't until the financial crisis that the VIX broke into the mainstream. The index has a tendency to shoot up dramatically when market sentiment sours, one reason it grabbed so much attention as markets began imploding.
Within a few weeks in late 2008, the VIX shot up from the 20s to a peak of about 96 in October. Its reading is now just above 20, close to the historical average.

In order to reduce the fear of regret, many investor will simply follow the crowd by investing in popular stocks, rationalizing that if they lose.

So in conclusion, the answer is no, a free reverse cell phone lookup does
not currently exist. A quick research showed that major
reverse cell phone lookup services have a few pricing level.
Not many individuals are aware that Google

Sydney home completions increased to 17,827 in 2012, from fewer than 15,000 in 2011. However, the McKell Institute's quarterly homes monitor showed that, in the final quarter, Sydney failed to meet its target of 5825 dwellings by 685.

Lucknow, May 29: Chennai Super Kings (CSK) and Team India player Suresh Raina reportedly has come under police scanner in alleged connection with IPL spot fixing scandal.
According to Uttar Pradesh Police sources, total eleven players from the state have come under scanner. The players, who have played IPL 6, are -- Suresh Raina, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Rudra Pratap Singh, Praveen Kumar, Piyush Chawla, Ali Murtaza, Imtiaz Ahmed, Ankit Singh Rajput and Eklavya Dwivedi.
Media reports quoted Arun Kumar ADG (Law and Order), Uttar
Pradesh Police, as saying, "We are working independently on the
leads provided by our agencies and so far we have successfully
busted gangs involved in betting in Varanasi, Meerut, Kanpur and
Ghaziabad. It's true we are continuing our investigations and
several people involved in the racket are on our radar."
Continuing his statement, Arun Kumar added, "Right now, we can't share the details of the investigations, and people involved in spot-fixing and betting are likely to be nabbed soon."
However, contrary to this media report, different sources quoted UP Police as saying, "No UP player in under our scanner. We are probing the case related to bookies arrested in the state."
According to sources, arrested small time Bollywood actor Vindoo Dara Singh has revealed more players and Bollywood celebrities alleged involvement in the fixing row. CSK owner Gurunath Meiyappan was arrested following Vindoo's statement.

Concerns Raised by Other Tenants of Citra Home Owner
Concerns have been raised about serious defects in the Citra home that burned to the ground Monday night, claiming the lives of five children.
We visited some of the other homes owned by the same landlord and spoke with current and former tenants.
"Mr. Otto Beyer should go out and look at his homes and see how people are living, what they do have to pay for, what they are putting up with," a former tenant said.
She also told us she was often frustrated with the lack of response from the landlord when things inside her rented home needed repair. The former tenant told us she was required to pay $100 dollars before the landlord agreed to send someone out to fix the problem.
"They don't want to hear about it, they want their money. You know, and that's it. If you don't have the money you don't get anything."
The same practice of charging a $100 dollar fee was confirmed by a current tenant of Beyer's who requested we not use her name.
Some of the issues inside the homes we visited, according to the tenants, included mold, windows that can't be open, septic problems, and roach infestations.
Perry Hickman, who used to live in the Citra home six years ago told us of the electrical conditions inside.
"You couldn't plug anything in, or too many things in one section of the house or it would completely cut that section off," he said. "It would cut that breaker to that section of the house."
After one year of living in the Citra home, Hickman and his family decided to move out.
"It was just not safe," he said.

Is it normal for my Chorkies testicles to move up to the penis area? I'm serious. Obviously, he's not neutered.
Also, any advice on stopping the peeing in the house. He doesn't like walks, but he has a big back yard and can go in and out all day long. Yet I still have a problem, and I have never caught him doing it even once. I have had him for two years.

ok well yes it is normal for his tesicles to move up in the penis area
as for the peeing .. you should take him out every 30 min and rite after he drinks alot or eats any thing and eventually he will get the idea that he supposed to pee outside
hope this helps a little!!
Member 793478 answered on 1/17/09. Helpful? / 0
The thing about the testicles...it sounds like it's his penis swelling. It happens when a dog is stimulated. When it's at a certain point, the swelling at the base of the penis does look like testicles, but it's not.
Even neutered dogs get this.
Gray Dawn Treader answered on 1/17/09. Helpful? / 0
Hi there! The number one reason for an un-neutered male to pee in the house is because he's marking his territory, and it's very hard to catch him doing it. Chorkies are such cute dogs, but there are so MANY unwanted pets out there (I hope you're not planning on creating more puppies). Please visit your vet, or a local low-cost spay/neuter clinic, or look for a special rate through the Humane Society. Neutering your little guy should help stop the peeing indoors - and when he meets other dogs, he'll be much less likely to get in a fight, too! :-) Good luck!

Sohu Reportedly Plans to Co-Found a Mobile Video App Developer
Sohu.com Inc (Nasdaq: SOHU), a Chinese web portal, is considering working with a venture capital investor to spend a total of ¥80 million ($13.04 million, $1 = ¥6.13) building a company to develop mobile apps of short videos, Bianews.com reported, without giving details. Bianews said the news had yet to be confirmed. Traffic from mobile app has accounted for 30% Sohu Video's total, according to a recent meeting of Sohu's senior executives. Sohu also has been tipped to acquire PPTV.com following the recent acquisition of PPStream.com by iQiyi.com, Baidu.com Inc's (Nasdaq: BIDU) video site.
Guangzhou Airport Posts Soft Growth for April
Guangzhou Baiyun International Airport Co (SHA: 600004), the nation's second biggest airport by passenger traffic, said its passenger traffic fell 14.4% in April from a month earlier and grew just 6.8% from a year earlier. UBS attributed the poor performance to weak air travel demand in the wake of sluggish growth and bird flu. UBS expected the company to report single-digit year on year growth in May on gloomy economic outlook. The company recently announced a ¥17.98 billion plan to expand the airport. The Guangzhou airport hopes to handle 80 million people and 2.5 million tons of air cargo by 2020. The numbers were 48.3 million people and 1.25 million tons of cargo in 2012, up 7.3% and 5.8% respectively from the year before.
Steelmakers Report Huge Current Liabilities
China's 30 listed steelmakers had a total of ¥759.48 billion in current liabilities as of the end of March 2013 as they faced mounting short-term debts and accounts payable, according to Sheng Zhicheng, deputy secretary of the China Federation of Logistics and Purchasing. The amount represented a ¥26.9 billion increase from a year earlier. Current liabilities are debts to be settled within the fiscal year or the operating cycle of a firm. The major steelmakers tracked by the China Iron and Steel Association posted ¥875.85 billion in revenues and ¥2.49 billion in gross profits for the first three months of 2013, but profits had been declining month by month. As many as 45.3% of the steelmakers were operating in the red in March. The association warned that if overcapacity wasn't checked, steel prices that had shown some sign of recovering would fall again amid a glut and spilling stockpiles.

The Peaceful Occupation of Crawford - Day 21
by Cindy Sheehan
A photographer friend of mine went down to Crawford to the Pro-War, Anti-Peace rally today. There were about 1500 people there he said. He also said that it was the most "third reich" spectacle that he had ever seen in America.
My friend said that the speakers were whipping up the crowd into a frenzy of hatred for me (like they already didn't hate me) and for the peace movement. My friend said that the entire theme of the rally was: "Cindy is killing American troops by her anti-American protest." Oh really, isn't George Bush killing innocent Americans and Iraqis by sending them to fight in an illegal and immoral war for power and greed? I think the real culprit is my neighbor: George.
I am really sad that there are still people in America who think that someone exercising her freedom of speech is anti-American. People who say we DON'T have the right to dissent are un-patriotic and un-American. My friend said that the rally was really the scariest thing he had ever seen. Except for one funny part when some people were walking through the crowd with a "Say No to War---except when a Democrat is President" (whatever that means???) sign. I guess the people at the rally only read the "Say No to War" part and they were ripping up the signs and chasing the gentlemen out. The unfortunate sign holders were trying to tell the counter-protesters that they were on Bush's killing side, but the crowd wouldn't hear them.
Our rally had about 2500 people jammed into the Camp Casey II tent. The speakers and music were awesome. Joan sang a few more songs. I told the crowd that I totally understand George Bush's noble cause for continuing the war: I have to kill more Americans because I have already killed so many. Then I posed the question to them that we will pose to Congress and the small minority of Americans (38-40%) who still believe in George's oil war. How many more lives are you willing to sacrifice before you bring the troops home? I led the crowd in a deafening chant of "Not One More," aimed at George's vacation home.
I kind of feel sorry for George; holed up in his ranch. Not being able to go out unless he flies over in his helicopter. If he drove out of the ranch, he would have to see people who disagree with him. But every time he leaves the ranch now, he faces people demanding answers to the question: What Noble Cause?
George is going golfing in Arizona on Monday, then to San Diego on Monday afternoon and Tuesday. Be sure we will have people in those locations bird dogging him. He deserves to be made uncomfortable: he is making the entire world more than uncomfortable.
We are relaxing a little bit tonight after the rally. A very nice young man who was wounded and put in a wheel chair by Bush's war on the same day Casey was killed came out tonight. He is spending his honeymoon with his new bride here at Camp Casey. Which reminds me...we are having 2 weddings here tomorrow: One at Camp Casey I and one at Camp Casey II. We have had so many children and babies come out too...it is the cycle of life.
I was visited by a 2nd Lt. from Casey's 2-5 Cavalry that told me to keep up the good work and Casey's old roommate came out from Ft. Hood to meet me. He may have to go back to Iraq soon. He hopes he doesn't have to since he will be out in 6 months, but he is pretty sure he will be stop-lossed.
It was so hot today in Crawford. So hot, it seemed like there wasn't enough air to breathe. Then a storm came and gave us some blessed relief.

"I only used 4 apples, and 1 cup of cranberries. I did try to halve them at first (those little suckers were rolling everywhere), then I just put them in whole. It still turned out really good. This was kinda tart. I'm assuming it's because of the Granny Smith apples. Wasn't sure of using coconut, but it was tasty. It's a keeper."

Re: Ice Cream Makers
Welcome debstewart123!
I have the manual ice cream maker by Donvier, the electric one by Cuisinart, and the Soft Ice Cream Maker also by Cuisinart. All 3 machines are great as far as function.....no complaints for any of them. Cuisinart also has an excellent warranty program and have always been a great company to deal with.
Do keep in mind that whatever machine you get....the finished product depends on your ingredients and your preparation of those ingredients. The machine is simply a device to freeze what you have prepared....be it sorbet, custard ice cream etc.
In the end....I have been happy with my machines and have never had a problem with them! Good luck!

Re: Ice Cream Makers
I have the manual one from Donvier as well.. takes a little longer but it works well. Sometimes I put the whole thing back into the freezer and turn as needed.
Beautiful BC, what's the Cuisinart Soft Ice Cream one like??? Was going to get it at Christmas time but wasn't sure it was worth it... and the outcome... it's around 140.00 right?? Does it make all kinds of ice cream, can you tell us what you have made?? I am thinking gelato... maybe a sorbet?? Thanks!

Re: Ice Cream Makers
I received my first icecream maker in 1982. Can't remember the brand but the container and ingredients went into the freezer to churn. It worked very well. So well, I had a "little business" making icecream, gelati and sorbets for the large govt agency I worked for- all profit to charity, of course. I over-worked it.
Bought a large bench top machine with in-built freezer. That worked well until we moved and despite signs on the machine and my watchful look, the removalists didn't keep it upright. It expired. Bought a Cuisenart "freeze container in freezer" add chilled ingredients and turn on. Returned it and demanded money back. Just wouldn't get anything to even a slurry. Everything else in freezer was rock hard. Am thinking of buying another benchtop appliance with inbuilt freezer. They are expensive, take up valuable space and are very heavy but at least they work.
Hope this helps.

Re: Ice Cream Makers
i have a really cheap electric i.c. maker that has a big disc that you freeze for 24hrs then dump it in the bottom of the bowl. the blades churn the i.c. round on the disc and it freezes. i think they all work more or less the same but a more expensive one probably has more functions, like a timer or an alarm.
my point is if you dont want to spend a lot it doesnt matter, mine is as simple as they get and it does a great job. my only complaint is the capacity, i can only make about 1litre at a time which doesnt go far at a dinner party. you might want to bear that in mind if you intend to make lots.

Re: Ice Cream Makers
bcrain.......re the soft-serve by Cuisinart.
I was hesitant like you at first, given the price tag. In the end I went for it as I knew our niece and nephew would have fun when they're over. Basically, the machine is just like their electric ic maker. The difference is that before the ic reaches too hard of a consistency you pull down the lever and you can fill ic cones or bowls and make that "pile" of soft ice cream (like the mounds you get at DQ). And you have 3 condiment bins which you can turn off or on independently (that's nice in that you don't have to have all 3, just 1 flavour if you want) to dispense into the ic at the same time.
It will make any type of ice cream, sorbet, or gelato. The unit simply gives you the option serving the ic in a soft state using the lever. You could scoop out ic from the electric ic maker when it's still soft as well, but it doesn't go into the cones as nicely.
With the soft serve machine, you only have soft ic when the mixture is just at that point. If you let it run too long, the ic becomes too thick to come out the down spout. Leftovers we just put in a container in the freezer like any other.
It's a bit "fluffy" and certainly not a "must have" appliance. As I said, our niece and nephew thinks it's great. What kid wouldn't? My husband and I do enjoy making our own Cappucino Skor Blizzards at home though!
Hope this helps......any other questions let me know.

Re: Ice Cream Makers
Thanks Beautiful BC!
I guess it's more for the kids. Mine would LOVE it! When we were on holidays the place we were at had a commercial size one and you just helped yourself... that's very dangerous! I think they had some every meal.
Been meaning to make some gelato but have been trying to cut way down on the good things i.e: ice cream/cookies/junk foods, lol! I always see the skor pieces in the bulk section as I am filling up my bags of prunes/apricots and figs at Save-On Foods, Sounds good though, I like coffee flavor too.
Maybe next Christmas granny can get it for all of us!

Coming from the same uber-happening musical climate that recently bestowed The Hellacopters and The Hives (among others) upon the world, Sweden's all-girl power-rock quartet Sahara Hotnights pack a mean punch.
Choosing a short, tight set, they played tracks from their recent album Jennie Bomb, including the crowd-pleasing Alright Alright (Here's My Fist Where's The Fight), On Top Of Your World and Keep Up The Speed.
Live delivery allows less control over the music than the studio, but the group easily captured the gutsy spirit and spunk of the songs. And vocalist Maria Andersson's sweat was real.
It was a night for black-clad retro coolsters, and the Datsuns hit the stage to riotous applause.
Bassist-singer Dolf de Datsun let rip with an almighty roar and the dual guitars launched into an enviable string of riffy '70s-inspired rock that even notoriously picky British rock bible NME has approved.
The band's self-titled debut album went to number one on their homeland New Zealand charts, and the live set was stuffed with plenty of stomping rockers such as In Love, Sittin' Pretty and early single Lady.
The sparsely instrumented new single Harmonic Generator drew an enthusiastic response from the active crowd, but the best cheers were reserved for TripleJ radio favourite MF From Hell.
The skinny boys in leg-hugging jeans and tight T-shirts gave the performance their all, with an encore in which there were more band members and equipment in the crowd than onstage.
They really are a fantastic, live band going from strength to strength, turning people on with the power of rock.
It was a night few will forget in a hurry.

The Beasts of Tarzan
€ 14,99
Lieferbar innert 2 Wochen
September 2003
BeschreibungAs THE BEASTS OF TARZAN begins, Tarzan -- as Lord Greystoke -- is settled in civilized London. But two of his enemies, Nikolas Rokoff and henchman Alexis Paulvitch, are on his trail. The pair abducts Jane -- and Tarzan's son, Jack. Tarzan himself is stranded on a desert island, but with the help of Sheeta the panther and Akut the great ape he makes it back to the mainland. There he meets Mugambi, the giant chief of the Wagambi tribe, who becomes Tarzan's lifelong friend and ally. The group heads into the deep jungle after the kidnappers -- and when Tarzan finds them he lets the beast inside him wreck his vengeance. There's a beautiful irony, here -- Tarzan has come from the jungle into civilization, and his son must go from civilization to the jungle. Where Tarzan grew up without human guidance or moral direction, he has become an honorable man -- chivalrous, almost noble; a genuinely good man. And now his son, raised in civilization, must now walk a similar path. . . .

OCHS event honors Hometown heroes
Veterans, firefighters and police will be honored guests
History comes to life at Oregon City High School on Nov. 7 and 8, when students and staff at the school honor local military veterans, including those who are now law enforcement officers and firefighters.
The event on Nov. 7 features a concert and pie and ice cream social. The next day, more than 2,000 students and 100 veterans will take part in the school's sixth annual veterans assembly.
'It is a tradition we all look forward to sharing together,' said Kathy Johnson, OCHS associate principal, and one of two organizers of the assembly.
Her co-organizer, Ed Burton, a Vietnam veteran and a former OCHS teacher and coach, was 'very instrumental in planning this assembly,' she said. Burton also will act as the program's emcee.
Each year the assembly has a different theme, and this year's is 'Hometown Heroes.' The focus is on local vets, including many who have graduated from OCHS.
'It is a big assembly, with the presentation of the colors at the beginning, and at the end we all sing 'America the Beautiful,' with the full band and the full choir,' Johnson said.
The event begins with a parade of veterans, accompanied by the anthem while the students cheer and wave flags. The band will also play special songs for the police and firefighters, Johnson said. There are 12 Oregon City police officers who are veterans and a number of Clackamas County firefighters.
The event includes the pledge of allegiance, choir songs, performance by the school's dance team and speeches, including one from the student body president. The assembly concludes with students presenting gifts to all the veterans, thanking them for their service.
Two moments of the assembly will be especially poignant, Johnson said.
'There will be a table set up that represents the fallen soldier,' she said. 'It will be in the spotlight and is a very special opportunity to teach the students about prisoners of war and the high cost of freedom. Then we will present a wreath to a Vietnam veteran, that honors all the fallen OCHS alumni.'
When the assembly is over, the wreath will be put outside in the memory garden, under a plaque with all the names of the local Vietnam veterans who died in combat.
This year something special is happening after the assembly, Johnson said. The high school's marching band and the JROTC will leave that day for New York City, where members will take part in the 9/11 World Trade Center 10th anniversary tribute on Nov. 10, at Ground Zero. The next day, the band and color guard will march in the New York City Veterans Day Parade.
Learning experience
Students who attend the assembly will 'learn the importance of respecting history and recognizing the multigenerational sacrifice these veterans have made. We also don't want these people to be forgotten. We want them to see how much these young people know - it is a gift we can give them,' Johnson said.
Johnson noted that the keynote speaker for the assembly would be Lt. Col. David Quesnel, a native Oregonian.
'He reached the rank of top gun in the Air Force, met two presidents and was twice appointed to two positions at the Pentagon,' she added.
She also said that the Clackamas Fire Pipe and Drum Corps would lead in the police and fire veteran guests.
Brady Stroh, the school's student body president, is looking forward to speaking at the assembly. He's still planning his speech, but Stroh knows that students should attend the assembly, because there is 'no other way to understand and comprehend how much these veterans have sacrificed for our country. It is important to understand that these people risked their lives for us.'
Burton, the emcee, taught health, physical education and English at OCHS from 1977 to 1998. He was the head football coach from 1986 to 1997. He wanted to be involved in the assembly, because he had been associated in the past with the veterans assembly at Milwaukie High School, and thought OCHS should start a similar tradition.
'It is the right thing to do,' Burton said. 'My interest is to focus on Oregon City people, to try to recognize people from our own community.'
The students, he added, 'never cease to amaze me, the amount of respect they show to vets. More than anything, I want them to learn that in our history, men and women have exceeded our expectations in protecting our country. Without these freedoms, society today would be much different. I want the students to see the rest of the world in a new light, and someday they may get involved in protecting our country and become outstanding citizens.'
Calling all veterans
Organizers of Oregon City High School's sixth annual veterans assembly are asking all veterans to call 503-785-8545 in order to reserve a place at two events, to be held on Nov. 7 and 8 at the high school.
The first event, 'American as Apple Pie,' is a tribute concert honoring all local veterans, firefighters and police. It features American music performed by all the high school's music groups, including the jazz and symphonic bands and the wind ensemble and the honors wind symphony. It takes place from 7 to 8 p.m. on Nov. 7, and will be followed by an old-fashioned pie and ice cream social, from 8 to 9 p.m., at the high school.
The 'Hometown Heroes' assembly, honoring all local veterans and police and firefighters, takes place on Nov. 8 from 8:30 to 10 a.m. in the auditorium. A veterans and guest hospitality room will be open from 7:45 to 8:30 a.m.
Oregon City High School is at 19761 S. Beavercreek Road.
