Butternut Squash Soup
- Prep:
- Total Time:
- Servings: 12
- Yield: Makes 2 quarts
Photography: David Malosh
Source: Martha Stewart Living, October 2013
- 6 slices bacon, cut in half crosswise
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 1 sweet onion, such as Vidalia or Walla Walla, coarsely chopped (about 3 cups)
- 2 1/2 pounds butternut squash, peeled, halved, seeded, and cut into 1-inch pieces (about 6 cups)
- 3 sprigs thyme
- Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
- 1 3/4 cups chicken broth
- 1 3/4 cups water
Cook bacon in a large pot over medium heat, flipping once, until brown and crisp, about 15 minutes. Drain on paper towels; discard fat from pot but do not wipe clean.
Melt butter in pot over medium heat. Cook onion, stirring occasionally, until softened and golden, about 15 minutes. Add squash, thyme, 1 tablespoon salt, broth, and water; increase heat to high and bring to a boil. Reduce heat, cover, and simmer until squash is tender, 12 to 15 minutes. Discard thyme.
Working in batches, puree soup in a blender until very smooth. Return soup to pot and season with salt and pepper; cover to keep warm or reheat if necessary. Divide among heatproof glasses and garnish each glass with bacon. Bacon and soup can be made up to 3 days ahead, cooled completely, and stored in refrigerator in separate containers. Recrisp bacon on a baking sheet in a preheated 300 degrees oven, about 10 minutes, while reheating soup over low heat.

Funky FreshMurray Mason - Fat Dog Music
Publisher Desc. Here is a great sounding 16th note Swing Funk Shuffle that is fun to play and is written for 3 acoustic guitars, electric guitar, drums and bass. The electric guitar provides the groove riff that is essential to this style and the 3rd guitar takes the rhythm guitar role with simple, contemporary chords and the occasional fingerstyle. Guitars 1 and 2 handle the catchy melody and harmony and should have few technical challenges. However, Guitar 1 has a long, detailed and moderately demanding solo that your best guitarists will fight over.

Faltering 'Glee' losing its ratings pop
There's less glee in Glee.
The high school musical, a smash hit in its first season and a half, is aging quickly: Ratings for fall's first three episodes are down 21%, music downloads are slumping, last summer's Glee: The 3D Concert Movie tanked, and more of the show's audience is watching the show later on DVRs, suggesting its currency as next-day cafeteria conversation has waned.
Plenty of shows fade, but few hits taper as quickly as Glee did starting last spring, shortly after a post-Super Bowl episode drew a hefty 26 million viewers. Critics and some fans complain the show relied too heavily on guest stars, outlandish plots and inconsistencies among characters.
"It's not exactly where I'd want it," says Fox entertainment chief Kevin Reilly, but "given how hot it was burning on all fronts, it was inevitable it would cool down." He says executive producer Ryan Murphy's experimentation "led to some fraying creatively; it wasn't as cohesive" last season. But the show has refocused on its main characters, and "the well of love is pretty deep for the show. We haven't found people going over the edge." He says it's "still a top-rated show doing incredible work, with a huge passionate fan base," especially among the under-35 crowd.
Dana Walden, chairman at 20th Century Fox studio. says she's not worried. "The show has come back in an incredibly strong way creatively," and "the core objective this year with Ryan is: How do we strengthen the storytelling to maintain longevity?" There's no imminent danger, but Murphy sowed confusion last summer, saying top stars will leave next spring as characters graduate.
Slowing music sales reflect the show's smaller audience and a tilt away from saleable pop music (Lady Gaga, Katy Perry) toward Broadway fare. Last season, "they covered Empire State of Mind and Billionaire, and those made the top 40 and sold pretty well," says Billboard's Gary Trust. Yet this season's first three episodes leaned on aging acts and tunes from Funny Girl, West Side Story and Fame. "Nothing's charted higher than (No.) 65. Sales are noticeably down," Trust says.
Producers promise pop hits will return when Glee does Nov. 1. And the show has been a cash cow, spawning DVD sales, a cable-reality spinoff and a summer concert tour that grossed $42 million, says Pollstar editor in chief Gary Bongiovanni. "Those are very good numbers. Whether they can go out and do it again next year, I don't know."

I posted an intro about a week ago and am so grateful for all of the thoughtful replies.
Just a quick background again. My Dad (65) was diagnosed with cancer in the bile duct (ampullary) back in Sept. He had a Whipple procedure done on Oct. 29th. At that time, they were able to remove the entire tumor (clean margins). However, they did find that it had spread to the lymph (7 of 39 tested positive.)
During his initial illness (when we discovered the cancer due to the jaundice) his kidneys (acutely) failed and he was on dialysis for about a month. We were so thrilled to find out about two-three weeks ago that his kidneys have recovered sufficient that he can get OFF of dialysis. However, that same day he got the news that the cancer had spread to his lymph.
So, onto my question.
Dad has been very depressed. Mom has to continually push him to eat and drink. He doesn't seem to care too much. He's down to about 180 lbs (from about 230). He often will lay in his chair with an afghan blanket over his body (including his head), like he's trying to shut everything out. It is more than just recovery from the surgery. There is definitely an emotional/depression componant. He is on an anti-depressant, and hopefully that will help.
My question is for those who experienced depression (or had loved ones who did). How long did it take them to get through this initial low and find some hope or strength to fight? Was there something someone said or did that helped you get past it?
I understand it will take some time for him. But we'd like to know what to expect and ways in which we can gently help him through this (while acknowedging his need to go through the stages of grief).
My Mom, God bless her, also feels like she's about to crumble, but she can't as she needs to hold it together to make sure he gets to the Dr. appts., coordinates all the appointments, make sure he eats (which is quite a task in itself.) and on. I know if/when Dad pulls through this and finds hope, it will help her immensely, too.
ETA: If anyone has any stories similar to what my Dad has experienced medically, I'd also love to hear from you (clean margins post Whipple, but with lymph involvement.)

Yes No Yes: Independence of the Seas Cruise Review by stegre13
Overall Member Rating
Yes No Yes
Destination: Europe - British Isles & Western
Embarkation: Southampton
Our Cabin was at the back of the ship on deck 6 it was kept spotless and the cabin steward could not do enough to help.
We went to 2 shows and the ice dancing all very good, the music and singers in the bars were also good.
The main deck is something to see shops, bars, eating places and entertainment even a barbers,
Now the NO
Let me explain I smoke drink and enjoys a gamble as do many other cruisers, there are only 2 smoking bars the Connoisseur with about 20 seats and the labyrinth with about 40 seats both are enclosed with no views in fact the bar in the connoisseur has only 2 seats the only other smoking areas were on the outside on deck 4 and 11 More port-side with about 5 tables remember this ship can hold 3000 plus people. In the evenings both bars were overfull and people were finding it hard to find a seat. The labyrinth even had a disco. I have been on 4 other royal caribbean ships and the vortex always had a smoking area with nice views, this it not a smokers ship.
On the drink side of things yes the beer was over priced $6.50 for a pint, but the cocktails were ok at about $7 to $9 considering the size of the measures and the spirits were about 2 doubles to a glass.
Now to the casino i like a game of poker, Texas hold em, the only table was automatic no real cards, no dealer, just a machine it spoilt the fun of the game, no chat and banter, in fact boring just a money making machine for the ship.
This is a family ship there were quite a few children and teenagers on board, i would hate to think what it would be like in school holidays in fact 1 crew member said in august there were more children than adults, don't get me wrong there is nothing wrong with kids and teenagers and the ones i spoke to were having a fantastic time.
I wish royal Caribbean every success with this type of ship i really do, but it is not for me or many other people i spoke to, i prefer a more adult type of ship, would i go on it again no
I am natural talker and spoke to many other cruisers who agreed we me on the above points
Now Back to YES would i go with royal Caribbean again defiantly but not this ship i like a smoke with a view a good game of cards, with real cards and a dealer and a laugh also a bar with more than 2 seats.
I hope you some of you regular cruisers find this review helpful and hope to see you board some time, again good luck to royal caribbean with this ship Less

CGAP, the global microfinance center is releasing new research and data to encourage telecom operators, financial institutions and governments to see the business potential in expanding access to financial services for poor people in developing markets. The current economic climate makes the need for widespread availability of safe alternatives to cash even more pressing.
The biggest mobile banking success to date has been M-PESA in Kenya, which is 45% cheaper than other transfer services. A forthcoming independent survey finds 83% of users say not having M-PESA would have a "large negative impact" on their lives.
Though these are encouraging numbers, CGAP has found globally that so far m-banking has yet to reach its full potential. Fewer than one in ten mobile phone banking customers are poor, new to banking, and doing anything more than payments and transfers.
"Mobile banking can move beyond simple transaction accounts to offer a flexible platform that will meet poor people's needs, while at the same time providing a new source of growth for providers," said Littlefield. "All the pieces are now coming into place for mobile banking to transform the way people get banking services in emerging markets."
There are other potential opportunities for service providers to help address the needs of the poor while growing new business. CGAP estimates that 150 million poor people around the world receive regular social welfare payments from their governments. Yet fewer than 25% of beneficiaries receive their benefit into a bank account through which they could save, make payments and build assets.
"Imagine if such payments could be delivered using magnetic stripe cards linked to a bank account -- or through a mobile phone. This could mean beneficiaries would suddenly have access to a full range of valuable services, such as savings," said Littlefield.
Banking beyond branches -- by the numbers
CGAP's technology program is supported by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation.

In the spring of 2007, William Cobb was juggling three part-time jobs and a full academic course load.
If that schedule werent stressful enough, creditors were threatening legal action if he didnt pay his mounting debts. My main goal was to finish school no matter what, he says. But things just got messed up.
Then Cobb learned about the College of Arts and Sciences Emergency Scholarship Fund initiated by Robert Morris. Thanks to the fund, he was able to pay off his debt, quit two jobsthe third gives him experience in his field of studyand dedicate himself to his coursework.
A humanities interdisciplinary major with a concentration in community health, Cobb expects to graduate this spring. Ultimately, he wants to work as a law guardian or a counselor, career ambitions motivated by a desire to help others. Thats why he finds it fitting that he got help when he needed it most. I didnt know how I was going to pay the bills, so this scholarship was a blessing.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 19/11/2013 (1342 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
The Corydon and Osborne neighbourhoods are on track to get a plan which will dictate development in the area for the next 20 years.
On Nov. 13, a public meeting was held at Gladstone School to discuss the plan, which is still in its early stages.
"It's a very desirable place to live and there is a desire to increase density," said Coun. Jenny Gerbasi (Fort Rouge-East Fort Garry). "The challenge is to increase density, but stay compatible with existing development."
The Corydon-Osborne Neighbourhood Plan will help guide and direct developers east of Stafford Street, west of Donald Street, north of Fleet Avenue, and south of Yale Avenue and Gertrude Avenue.
"The plan isn't there to stop things from happening, it's there to guide development," Gerbasi said, adding developments must be compatible and appropriate for the neighbourhood.
The idea of a neighbourhood plan is not a new one, Gerbasi said, and it's important to have to maintain the integrity of the area, in terms of how it's developed.
"Most cities have this, some think 'Well, we should be able to do whatever we want' but it's not like that in the world," Gerbasi said. "It's not that they can't do what they want, but we need something with bylaws, guidelines, and rules."
The plan could include restrictions in the size of future developments, maintaining the historical integrity of the neighbourhood, as well as a beautification factor.
"I don't know exactly what will be in this plan yet because we haven't done it yet," Gerbasi said. "It's not a complex design process that's going to decide (what guidelines will be in the plan), but I would expect there would be some sort of guidelines about materials used, just something to reduce some of the 'uglification' that happens if you just let anything be developed."
The plan will be built using community input as well a consultant from Peter J. Smith & Company, an urban design and development firm with offices in Fort Erie, Ont., as well as Buffalo, N.Y.
"This consultant will come up with basically . . . present something that will have to be considered by council," Gerbasi said. "But people do come together for planning processes. They sit across the table from each other and people have more in common than people realize."
Gerbasi said while developing plans, it can be difficult to please everyone.
"At the end of the day, there will be some developers that aren't happy, there might be some residents that aren't happy," Gerbasi said. "But if there is a high level of comfort with it from a lot of people then (the plan) can proceed."
Gerbasi said with the right input and the right consultation, the Corydon and Osborne neighbourhoods will continue to be a great place to live.
"We want to keep it that way," Gerbasi said. "Change is coming, (the plan will) guide the change that's going to be positive, a positive experience for people, to attract people to the neighbourhood, while still finding ways to increase density."

Many in U.S. Have at Least 1 Heart Risk Factor
Latest Heart News
CDC Releases New Data on Hypertension, High Cholesterol, and Diabetes
By Katrina Woznicki
Reviewed By Elizabeth Klodas, MD, FACC
April 26, 2010 -- Nearly half of the U.S. population has at least one of three diagnosed or undiagnosed chronic conditions -- high blood pressure, high cholesterol, or diabetes -- all major risk factors for heart disease, the leading cause of death among Americans, according to a new CDC study.
Data collected from the ongoing National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey shows that 45% of Americans had one of these three conditions either diagnosed or undiagnosed; 13% of adults had two of these conditions, and 3% had all three conditions. CDC researchers also found that 15% of adults also had one or more of these conditions undiagnosed.
It is well known that high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and diabetes all increase the risk for cardiovascular disease, a condition that affects more than 81 million Americans and accounts for one out of every three deaths in the U.S. What is less known is the co-existence of these three conditions based on race/ethnicity, as well as the prevalence of diagnosed vs. undiagnosed high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and diabetes among these groups.
The study shows that about 8% of adults have undiagnosed high blood pressure, 8% have undiagnosed high cholesterol, and 3% of have undiagnosed diabetes. The proportion of adults with these undiagnosed conditions was similar across racial/ethnic groups.
The study also shows that:
The CDC researchers also found that non-Hispanic blacks were more likely than non-Hispanic whites and Mexican-Americans to have at least one of the three conditions either diagnosed or undiagnosed.
The findings could help public health policy authorities develop more targeted prevention and treatment guidelines for diabetes, high blood pressure, and high cholesterol.
The impact of these three conditions individually is substantial:

India, Pakistan Show Action Replay at U.N.
Despite the warm weather in New York, India and Pakistan witnessed some more chilliness in their bilateral relations, once again sparring on the sidelines of the United Nations General Assembly.
India's foreign minister, S.M. Krishna, Tuesday slammed a statement by his Pakistani counterpart, Shah Mahmood Qureshi, on Kashmir as "unacceptable" and "untenable" and said it was a diversionary tactic by Pakistan to draw attention away from its internal turmoil.
"Such unsolicited remarks will not and indeed, cannot, divert attention from the multiple problems Pakistan needs to tackle for the common good of its people, and of the entire region," Mr. Krishna said at a meeting of the Asia Society in New York Tuesday. He also took the opportunity to list many of those problems.
His retort came after Mr. Qureshi at the UN had stressed that Kashmiris should be allowed to exercise their right of self- determination "through a free, fair and impartial plebiscite under the United Nations auspices."
Earlier, Mr. Qureshi had also expressed "complete solidarity" with the Kashmiri people and called the killing of Kashmiris and "blatant use of force by the Indian security forces" as unacceptable.
"We urge the international community to take steps for safeguarding the human rights of Kashmiris," Mr. Qureshi said in a statement on Sept. 17 in Islamabad.
The two sides have been trying hard to improve ties after the terror attacks in Mumbai almost two years ago. But Mr. Krishna and Mr. Qureshi appear not to be hitting it off. They held peace talks in Islamabad that ended in acrimony over their clashing perceptions on complex issues like the Mumbai attacks and Kashmir. Mr. Qureshi accused Mr. Krishna of being remote-controlled from New Delhi; the Indian side says Pakistan altered the balance of priorities to downplay the terror issue.
The disputed territory of Kashmir has been a key cause of three wars between the two South Asian powers since they became independent nations in 1947.
It's unlikely, however, that the verbal sparring will nix the chance of further talks between the two countries; indeed, part of it undoubtedly is playing to domestic audiences skeptical about how close the two countries should become. India's Foreign Secretary Nirumpama Rao said in a recent speech at Harvard that New Delhi was determined to pursue the process.
Even Mr. Krishna extended an olive branch by saying later to NDTV that Mr. Qureshi was welcome to come to New Delhi to watch "some of" the Commonwealth Games, which begin Sunday. He suggested it would give the two men a chance to "continue the dialogue." Perhaps, he is thinking of installing Mr. Qureshi in an unfinished apartment in the Games Village.
D. Suba Chandran, deputy director of the Institute of Peace and Conflict Studies, a New Delhi-based think tank, described what happened in New York as "sharp rhetorical exchanges."
He says Mr. Krishna is trying to create an impression that India is interested in taking the peace dialogue forward by inviting his Pakistani counterpart for the sporting event. "On his part, Qureshi is making use of the unrest in Kashmir to emphasize that Pakistan has not forgotten the Kashmiris after Musharraf," Prof. Chandran said.

The Belfast side were 3-1 outsiders against the Dublin full-timers but first half goals from Glenn Ferguson and Peter Thompson sealed victory.
Ferguson stroked home the opener on 26 minutes with a first-time effort from an Aidan O'Kane cross.
Thompson added the second 10 minutes later for the Blues who bank a winners' cheque of 150,000 euros.
Ferguson's well-taken opener came after Shelbourne had made the better start.
Jason Byrne had the first opening but was blocked by a timely challenge from Linfield skipper Noel Bailie.
The Shels then lost Ritchie Baker through injury with Bobby Ryan coming on as a substitute.
The match ended with a double sending-off in stoppage-time.
An off-the-ball offence by Byrne brought him his second yellow of the match and he was immediately followed by team-mate Alan Moore for comments made to referee Mark Courtney.
