Beware of a Drop Ahead
The possibility of a settlement of the fiscal-cliff problem appears to be delivering diminishing returns for the market. Last week, the S&P 500 went to nearly 1440 before backing off, and on Monday the market quit at lower levels, even as more participants were becoming convinced that the problem would be resolved. It looks as though a settlement is now baked into the cake, so any new failure would probably be quite traumatic.
In the meantime, the overbought condition we have been observing is getting even more extreme, as we see on the 21-day moving average of the Arms Index, below. It is at the most overbought level in two years. It suggests an intermediate term decline -- that is, one lasting weeks but not months. The short-term numbers are also overbought, so the slide could start very soon....223 more words left in this article. To read them, just click below and try Real Money FREE for 14 days.

Boeing took a significant step toward returning the 787 to service on Friday, when it flew Dreamliner Line Number 86 on a one-hour, 49-minute mission to demonstrate conformity of its battery system modification to U.S. certification authorities. Painted in LOT Polish Airlines livery, LN 86 took off from Paine Field in Everett, Washington, at 10:39 a.m. local time, traveled west, then south down the Washington State and northwest Oregon coastlines before turning around over the Pacific Ocean and virtually tracing its original flight path back to Everett, where it landed at 12:28 p.m.
Boeing expected the flight to mark the end of certification testing for the 787's new battery system following more than a month of ground trials. Now, the timing of service entry depends solely on the speed with which the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration completes its evaluation of the testing data.
The so-called fix includes a modification to the charger and battery monitoring unit designed to narrow the acceptable level of charge–in essence, lowering the maximum charge allowed and raising the minimum level of discharge allowed. Engineers have also devised a way to "soften" the charging cycle in a way to put less stress on the battery.
Within the battery itself, Boeing engineers wrapped an electrical insulator between each of the eight cells to isolate them from each other and prevent propagation. It also installed electrical and thermal insulation above, below and between each cell to prevent heat migration. Meanwhile, small holes drilled into the bottom of the case that encloses the cells and battery management unit allows moisture to drain away from the battery. Larger holes in the sides of the case allow a failed battery to vent more efficiently, thereby lessening the possibility of damage to other parts of the power pack.
Finally, the new design uses a stainless-steel enclosure meant to isolate the unit from the rest of the equipment in the electronic equipment bays.

It appears that , for about $300M, they have been able to:
1.Reduce the battery capacity;
2. Increase the charging time;
3. Increase the weight of the battery;
4. Increase the weight and complexity of the charging/ monitoring system;
To give about the same energy/ weight ratio of an AGM-SLA battery while:
5. Maintaining the combustibility of Li-ion and;
6. By insulating the individual cells, making the probability of thermal runaway in any one cell greater and;
7. Reducing reliability of the whole low-voltage electrical system as a result of the excessive degree of complication required in the charging/ monitoring system......

1 hr 49 mins of testing in a live aircraft is not very much compared with the normal in service life of a battery. This is not exactly conclusive evidence of a final fix and certainly does nothing to boost my confidence in the overal product crtification.

AN ACTING headteacher has reassured parents that there is a 'positive atmosphere' at a troubled school.
Mark Bradshaw has taken over the reins at Blackburn's Pleckgate High School after the decision of head Cherry Ridgway to take extended personal leave.
Ms Ridgway's departure came after Ofsted gave the school its lowest rating of Inadequate, placing it in special measures.
Mr Bradshaw has been a teacher for 23 years, with the last seven at Pleckgate. His role at the school began firstly as assistant head and he was appointed deputy head in 2009.
He said: "There seems to be a positive atmosphere and everyone is committed to moving the school forward.
"We were disappointed with the outcome of the Ofsted report. However we are, and were prior to the report, aware of the areas that need improvement and what we need to do. We have got to make sure everything we do is in the best possible interests of the students and that they are in a safe and happy environment.
"It is very clear that, although there have been problems recently, as a school we are a strong community . We are pulling together and are working our hardest to ensure the students get the best possible education provision and chances that they can.
"Ultimately it is about them and about us all working together to move the school forward. We need to make sure that parents know what we are about and where we want to go. We need to involve them and take them with us on the journey. It is about all of us going in the same direction."
An interim executive board has also replaced the school's former governing body. Although the Ofsted report highlighted serious weaknesses, Mr Bradshaw stressed the school also had a lot of strengths.

Eggplant Parmesan
Today I'm featuring another recipe from Hubby's mother. Hubby loves eggplant parm. It's another one of the things his mom usually makes for us when we're in town because she knows how much he loves it. Recently, we requested the recipe from her and Hubby made it at home all by himself.
Hubby likes to claim this is a healthy recipe since it's vegetarian. I would not call this healthy, but it sure is delicious. Hubby used Panko bread crumbs because that's all I keep in the house. I really this they give a much better texture than regular bread crumbs. If you wanted, you could make this with meat sauce if you feel like it needs some meat. Eggplant is a very meaty vegetables, so I think it's fine without it.
This recipe also freezes really well. I wish I had thought of that back when we did our kitchen renovation and stocked up on frozen food. Since this makes a whole casserole dish, we ate it for leftovers all week. But if you don't like leftovers, just portion it out into individual tupperware containers and freeze it after it has cooled completely.
Eggplant Parmesan
Yield: 12 servings
Sauce (1 large jar or homemade)
1.5 lb. eggplant, look for long slender firm eggplant
2 eggs, beaten
1.5 cups Panko cread crumbs, seasoned with salt and pepper
Cooking oil
1 lb. mozz shredded or thinly sliced
1/4 cup parmesan grated
Preheat oven to 425.
Peel eggplant and slice about 1/4 inch thick. Dip into egg and let it drip off, then into bread crumbs. Set aside on a sheet of waxed paper.
Heat a jelly roll pan with enough oil to cover the bottom in the oven. When hot, add eggplant but see sure not to over-crowd the pan. Cook until nice and brown and crispy, then turn. Drain on paper towels.
Turn oven to 400.
Layer in a 13x9 baking dish 1/3 sauce, 1/2 eggplant, 1/2 mozzarella cheese, repeat, end with last 1/3 sauce. Sprinkle parmesan on top.
Bake uncovered for 15-20 min.

This sounds wonderful, I've been looking for a nice eggplant parm recipe for so long, I think this could be it!
This really sounds (and looks) so wonderful!
This looks so good! I have never made eggplant parm before, but looks like I will need to try it. Thank you for sharing:)
I made this last week, and oh my goodness, it was to die for! thanks for sharing the recipe!

text: Corrosion asked me to make a thread about the Texans 2013 offseason, because the info is good for making mock drafts. So I thought I could put together a little something to help you all out when making mocks and have an easy reference for FAQs like compensatory picks, UFAs/RFAs, and some cap space guesses (yes that's what they all are). I made an Excel spreadsheet for this and took some screenshots to make it easy to read and display. The forum software doesn't do well with Excel copy/paste data, so if changes need to be made, it might be later on in the thread. Anyways, feel free to poke holes in my arguments or offer feedback on whatever. I'm putting it in this forum specifically for Mock Draft help. Texans 2013 Free Agents: We have 21 total UFAs, 13 on defense, 6 on offense, and 2 special teams. As you can see, we have several starters that are not under contract next year. By my own estimations, I would list 7 of these 21 as key contributors to this season: Quin S, Barwin OLB, Dobbins ILB, McCain CB, Cody DT, Caldwell OG, Casey TE (5 defense, 2 offense). When constructing mock drafts, I think it's important to see where we are losing depth, and its clear that the defense will be losing quite a bit if these players aren't retained. Before anyone says it, I don't consider either kicker to be a key contributor because they are easily replaced. I included their salary and cap hits for this year to show how much they cost this year, but at the moment I don't have an exact estimate of capspace for next year. At this point, I think we will have 8-10 million free after the new Brown and Schaub contracts, but I feel that is slightly optomistic. JJo also restructured this year and pushed 1.3 million into each of the next three years. I think 8 million is a solid cap space projection, assuming nothing else changes. Remember though, about 3-5 million of that will need to be retained for signing draft picks, depending on how many high picks we have. (trade ups cost more than just the draft picks and players used, you guarantee a lot more money to high picks) Cap Casualties: So given that we will likely be up against the cap once again, I have identified the most likely candidates to be cut or restructured. Here are the costs and savings for each. The Guaranteed Pay for each of them is signing bonuses plus restructured money. Antonio's number is a bit higher than other sites may show because he restructured in 2011 to help us sign JJo and Manning. Wade doesn't have much left on his deal, but cutting him actually saves more money than Antonio. As far as I know, none of Walter's money is guaranteed, if anyone knows otherwise please post it. Clearly something has to be done about Walter and Antonio. Antonio is not worth 9.8 million nor the 8.5 million that he was originally scheduled to make. Walter isn't worth 4.5 million and should take another paycut or head to Baltimore. The bottom line is that we could save 13.5 million by simply cutting these guys. That could make our cap space go up to about 20 million, which would enable us to sign retain our own free agents and possibly sign a new impact player or two. Compensatory Picks: In addition to the 7 picks that the Texans have in the 2013 draft, they will have 4 more compensatory picks coming their way. The Texans lost 4 qualifying free agents and signed zero. Yes, zero qualifying free agents signed. Well, I have been looking into comp picks a bit more since the topic came up again. I have to amend my initial projection to a 3,5,6,6. Here's where I'm at: Mario is a lock for a 3rd. I believe Brisiel will be worth a 5th due to his 16 starts, 4 million a year AAV (Contract's Average Annual Value) and because he played the majority of the Raiders snaps this year. I'm dropping Dreesen down to a 6th because his contract value is too low, and the Broncos didn't go as far in the playoffs as I thought they would. He had average TE stats (41 rec, 356 yards, 5 TDs), and played about 75% of their snaps. Had the Broncos made the AFCC or Super Bowl, I believe he would have moved up a round. I'm putting Jason Allen as a 6th, but he's a wild card. His contract would normally be worth a 5th on AAV alone, but his snaps played is so low, that I think he will be dinged a round or two. I originally put him as a 7th because he started zero games, and only played defense for 3 snaps, the rest was special teams. I don't know how this will work out, he could be anywhere from a 5th to a 7th, but I'll take the conservative route and say 6th. I found some info on compensatory picks last year with AAV ranges for the picks and this was the matrix for 2012. These ranges can change, but we could have anywhere from a 3, 5,5,6 to a 3,6,7,7. 3 - $6.5/$7 million and greater 4 - $5 to $6.5/$7 million 5 - $4 to $5 million 6 - $2.5/2.75 to $4 million 7 - $1 to $2.5/2.75 million Compensatory Pick Requirements: Players must be signed before June 1st in order to affect comp picks Signing bonuses can be up to 65k without effecting the comp picks. Players over 10 years accrued no longer count against comp picks. Players must sign for more than their veteran minimum to nullify other comp picks. 2012 salaries are as follows: Shayne Graham: 2012: $925,000 Bradie James: 2012: $825,000 Donnie Jones: 2012: $825,000 Alan Ball: 6/2/2012: $700,000 (June 1st is cutoff date for comp picks) Justin Forsett: 6/2/2012: Signed a one-year contract. (June 1st is cutoff date for comp picks) Ryan Harris: 9/1/2012: Signed a one-year, $700,000 contract. (June 1st is cutoff date for comp picks) 2012 NFL vet minimum salaries Rookie - $390,000 1 year - $465,000 2 year - $540,000 3 year - $615,000 4-6 year - $700,000 7-9 year - $825,000 10+ year - $925,000 Long story short, nobody the Texans signed qualified as a free agent. Practice Squad 2012: Another way to backfill depth is to call up practice squad players. Several of these guys have been with the team for a while and may be ready to step up to the 53 man roster. Currently we have these guys: I think Pleasant may take Demps spot on the roster next year. I would love to see one of the TEs develop into a solid blocker and save us a late round draft pick. If Mondek could develop more, maybe he could become our swing tackle and we could let Newton stay at RT. Lots of options to consider.

Safety and Immunogenicity Study of Influenza Vaccines in HIV-infected and HIV-uninfected Pregnant Women in Western Kenya

Show Detailed Description
In 2012, the WHO Strategic Advisory Group of Experts (SAGE) concluded that pregnant women are the most important risk group for season influenza vaccination based upon "compelling evidence of substantial risk of severe disease in this group and evidence that seasonal influenza vaccine is safe and effective in preventing disease in pregnant women as well as their young infants, in whom disease burden is also high". Recent data from Kenya, similarly suggest rates of influenza-associated hospitalizations in children under age 1 to be as high, or higher, than those observed in the United States. However, TIV may have reduced immunogenicity in HIV-infected adults, and HIV infection has been shown to reduce placental transfer of both tetanus and measles antibodies. Therefore, we propose to conduct a double-blind randomized controlled trial of influenza vaccines stratified by HIV status in up to 720 pregnant women in their second and third trimesters and their infants residing in health and demographic surveillance sites (HDSS) in Nyanza Province, Western Kenya. We propose to assess the safety, immunogenicity, and efficacy of standard dose QIV and double dose QIV in HIV-infected and HIV-uninfected pregnant women. Findings will inform maternal influenza vaccination policies in Kenya and other African countries.

text: Few companies have had a bigger impact on street style than adidas, a brand famous for a variety of products, from activewear and shoes to casual clothing and accessories. After all, how many companies can lay claim to being arguably the most historically significant brand in both sports (Jesse Owens wore shoes made by Adi Dassler, adidas' founder, at the 1936 Olympics) and hip hop (Run DMC and other groups made the "three stripes" a staple on the street during the 1980s)? The reason for the continuing popularity of adidas is simple: their products strike the perfect balance between style, durability, and utility. Also contributing to the brand's appeal is the sheer number of quality items they release—one can easily put together a trendy wardrobe consisting almost entirely of adidas products. The bottom line: adidas is a company that has proven again and again to be an integral contributor to street fashion.

There are many who suffer from intolerance responses after drinking cows' milk. An intolerance to cow's milk can occur at any age, but is most commonly found in babies and in very young children. It is the protein in cow's milk that triggers an intolerance response in some children, which can cause them to be uncomfortable, unhappy or unwell.
Cow's milk allergy is a serious condition and should not be confused with cow's milk intolerance. If your child is known to suffer from a cow's milk allergy, you should consult your doctor or paediatrician before consuming any milk variety.
Cow's milk contains two major protein groups, casein and whey. Beta-casein is the main casein protein, and the most common forms of this are A1 and A2. Most dairy cows in Australia are A1, so-called because they produce milk with A1 protein.
A much smaller group of dairy cows produce milk containing just the A2 protein, and many sufferers of cow's milk intolerance find that they can tolerate cow's milk that contains the A2 protein only.
As most fresh milk brands contain both A1 and A2 proteins, it is important to identify A2 milk in the supermarket if you are aiming to try milk containing the A2 protein only.

803.10 Throwing From Another Player's Lie
A. A player who has thrown from another player's lie shall receive two penalty throws, without
a warning. The offending player shall complete the hole as if the other player's lie were his
or her own. No throws shall be replayed.
B. The player whose lie was played by the offending player shall be given an approximate lie as
close to the original lie as possible, as determined by the offending player, a majority of his
or her group, or an official. See section 803.11 C if the disc has been declared lost.
I know it would be the cheesiest thing ever for a player to throw OB in the water and then intentionally go play off of another player's lie, but doesn't this rule create a loophole that players can exploit if their throw is OB or their disc is lost? I mean, they would have to pretend it was an accident to avoid DQ under rule 3.3, but isn't there a possibility tthat a dishonest player could benefit as long as they pretended it was not intentional?
Also, the part of the rule that references rule 803.11C, as part of section B of the rule, appears to be referring to the disc of the player whose lie was played by the offending player. Is that possible? Are they saying that the "victim" whose lie got played, if they had said his disc was lost, gets those penalty strokes removed upon discovering that his disc was thrown or picked up by the other player? Or is it saying to ignore rule 8.10 if the offending player's disc is actually lost, and make him rethrow? Something else?
If the offending player's disc resulting in the lie that the offending player did NOT play was OB or lost (e.g., the offending player threw OB and then played off another's lie, and the disc is discovered OB thereafter), do they have to count penalty throws for the OB or lost disc IN ADDITION to the penalty throws incurred for playing off another player's lie?

Stupa dates back to the Vajrayana period of Buddhism, about 6th and 7th Century A.D.
Andhra Pradesh, India -- A hemispherical Buddhist stupa belonging to the Vajrayana period of Buddhism dating back to 6th and 7th Century A.D. was by chance unearthed by the Department of Archaeology of Andhra Pradesh last week following sighting of a large brick in the vicinity of a large mound in this village.
The 10-metre (diametre) main stupa is now in a dilapidated state, but is yet another Buddhist site to get added to the four major ones in the district. Due to tilling activity some of the outer structures like aramas and ayakas have vanished. Some of the sculptures, bearing a distinct resemblance to the Amaravathi School of sculpting designs, now adorn some common places of the villages as Hindu deities such as Jambala (Kubera). cont./... here

Cal's Allen Crabbe knows exactly what he needs to be a better basketball player.
"I need to get that killer instinct," he said. "I need to have that scorer's mentality, stop being so passive. I feel when I'm aggressive I feel like I'm unstoppable."
Crabbe, who leads Cal (3-0) against Drake (1-1) in the opening round of the Anaheim Classic on Thursday night, was the nation's fifth-leading scorer entering the week at 26.7 points per game.
But even in a career-high 33-point performance a week ago against Pepperdine, Crabbe needed to kick-start his game after scoring just nine first-half points. In the Bears' two most recent games, he totaled 12 points in the first half, 41 in the second.
"I try to ask myself, 'What's the problem?'" the junior guard said. "I don't get why I can't play the way I played the last (11) minutes at Oregon every single day."
That was last Jan. 8 at Oregon, when Crabbe had scored just three points over the first 29 minutes. Then, in a span of 3 minutes, 6 seconds, he fired in 14 points and helped Cal blow open a close game. He finished with 26.
At 6-foot-6, Crabbe is a smooth shooter with great range. He plays smart and unselfish basketball. He was a first-team All-Pac-12 pick a year ago and the leading scorer on a Cal team that reached the NCAA tournament.
Pepperdine coach Marty Wilson raved about Crabbe last week, suggesting, "Obviously, Crabbe, he is a pro," Wilson said. "He will be making a lot of money next year. He has great poise, he shoots the ball as well as anybody I have seen."
By Crabbe's own admission, he does disappear now and then.
"That's been my problem ever since I've been here -- not being aggressive enough," he said.
It's also the big question looming in the minds of NBA scouts.
"The shot is good enough and he's got great size for the position," one NBA Western Conference scout said. "I've always been a little disappointed because he's not very aggressive. If he can do that, there's no question he can play up here."
The same scout compared Crabbe to Allan Houston, who played 12 seasons in the NBA through 2004-05, averaging 17.3 points.
"Houston was not a guy who took it to the basket when he came into the league," the scout said. "Crabbe reminds me of him a lot, except this kid is a better athlete."
Cal coach Mike Montgomery believes Crabbe is ready to have more confidence in other parts of his game, including driving the ball into the lane. Crabbe stayed in Berkeley last summer for the first time and gave himself over to the weight room.
"He's a lot stronger, a lot better physically and that really helped him," Montgomery said. "You always hear guys say that who lift weights. 'I've got muscles and I can go be more aggressive.'"
"That's a part of it. He's just got to recognize that for us to be successful he has to stay engaged mentally all the tine."
Crabbe knows he can impact the game in a variety of ways. He also knows the Bears need his offense.
"I can't go stretches not scoring for 10 minutes or not being a factor on the court," he said. "I can't just be out there running up and down."
Crabbe wants to play in the NBA, but doesn't believe there's a timetable that works for everyone. In a one-and-done world, he said it's not a sure thing he will leave after this season.
"As long as I'm ready when I get to the NBA, that's all that really matters," he said.
Montgomery agrees that approach can work for Crabbe.
"Most of the guys I've coached that I've had success with are better feeling that way than trying to be something that they're not," Montgomery said. "He's getting close to being that. He'll get there."

Daniel Ricciardo claims his disqualification from his home grand prix will never detract from the sensation of standing on the podium for the first time in his F1 career in front of his own fans.
Ricciardo claimed the runner-up spot in the season-opening race in Australia on Sunday, only to be excluded from the classification over five hours later as his Red Bull infringed the new fuel rules.
Red Bull formally confirmed on Thursday their intention to appeal in the hope Ricciardo will be reinstated to second place, behind winner Nico Rosberg in his Mercedes.
A hearing will now go before the FIA's Court of Appeal, at a date yet to be determined.
For Ricciardo, despite describing his disqualification as "a downer on what had been a brilliant day", the experience of being cheered by the Australian fans will never be forgotten.
"Second was always going to be the best I could hope for and I was really happy to deliver that," said Ricciardo on the Red Bull website.
"Crossing the line and having the crowd all jump up on their feet and applaud, that was pretty special. It's different to how you imagine it.
"With (Australia's 1980 world champion) Alan Jones doing the podium interview it all felt very surreal, a bit far-fetched actually - genuinely an unbelievable moment - and something I won't forget in a hurry."
But upon hearing the news he had been disqualified, Ricciardo added: "It's not how I imagined celebrating after my first F1 podium.
"I still went out to catch up with a couple of mates, but it's fair to say the mood wasn't as wild as it might have been."
As to the positives, the 24-year-old said: "I did a good job in the car and I got to stand on the Australian Grand Prix podium, and no-one's taking away the sensation of doing that.
"What happens next is outside of my ability to control, but honestly, I'd rather it went down like this than have retired from the race with a mechanical problem.
"I'll take a podium and a subsequent disqualification over that any day of the week."
Ricciardo's car was discovered, according to the FIA, to have "consistently exceeded" the new fuel-flow rate of no more than 100kg per hour.
The rate is monitored by an FIA meter, manufactured by Gill Sensors, based in Lymington, Hampshire.
Red Bull team principal Christian Horner claims there was an issue with the sensor that changed its reading through Friday practice, which was replaced on Saturday but failed during qualifying.
Red Bull, of their own volition, chose to use their own readings to determine the fuel-flow rate which had not been cleared by the FIA.
FIA technical director Charlie Whiting confirmed Red Bull were warned against doing so, both after qualifying and again five laps into the race, but chose to ignore the directive.
Red Bull will now have to prove the FIA sensor, which Horner has described as "unreliable" and "immature technology", was defective and that their own device was not in error.
Pending the outcome of the appeal, the race result, with McLaren drivers Kevin Magnussen and Jenson Button promoted to second and third, remains provisional.

From time to time I post a question that comes into the blog for YOU to answer. What advice would you give this youth pastor who is asking about traditions in their youth ministry. Weigh in!
I'm working on the curriculum for our Confirmation class and was just wondering how you handle tradition out here (like the Apostle's Creed, Wesleyan Quadrilateral, liturgy colors….etc.). We have both a traditional and contemporary service but the majority of our students attend the contemporary service. We very rarely say the Lord's Prayer and have never said the Apostle's Creed (in fact I can't remember when the last time we said it in traditional services either). Just wanted to know how you fit this into your world, at what age, or if not at all. I love the Methodist tradition and teachings of John Wesley, but I can also understand why students get bored by it, especially when they never see it actively displayed in our church.
Thoughts? Your turn!

How can I choose a favorite? They all look absolutely delicious.ReplyDelete
Your roasted butternut squash with lemon, thyme, and parmesan is still my all time favorite squash recipe. I always make it for fall and winter potlucks and everyone raves about it. About half of the time I forget the lemon juice and I almost always use dried thyme, but it's still fantastic.ReplyDelete
Lydia, thanks! And I like them all so I can't offer any suggestions.ReplyDelete
Katie, I love hearing that! I think the parmesan really sets off the roasted flavor of the squash.
All excellent choices! Winter squash is also one of my favorite things. I used your Moroccan spice rub on some roasted rainbow carrots earlier today and it was fantastic! Thanks!ReplyDelete
Thanks Susan. I love that mix on carrots too.ReplyDelete
Stupid question for those of you who are ecpert cooks, but Kalyn , do you have any great tips for peeling squash? I am fine with zucchini, but what about the others? And if you've already addressed this topic in the past I apologize; just point me in the right direction!ReplyDelete
What a haven of deliciousness! I'm always looking for new squash ideas and I cook with it constantly!ReplyDelete
I've never seen a Jarrahdale squash, it looks so interesting. Is it sweet like kabocha or butternut squash? Roasted winter squash with the moroccan spices sounds like a great combintation.ReplyDelete
Bonnie there is a link in this post for something I wrote about How to Peel and Cut Up a Butternut Squash. I think some of the other squashes are a bit easier.ReplyDelete
Joanne, thanks. I love it too!
Jeannette, sorry it seemed like I was ignoring you. Truly I wasn't, just hadn't gotten down to your comment yet when I replied above. The Jarrahdale squash is similar in flavor to butternut from what I can remember. I only had it that one time, and alas forgot to look for the seeds last spring, so I'll have to put it on my garden list for this next year!ReplyDelete

For the last month or so, Costco stores here in Alberta have been carrying 2 pound plastic boxes of cubed fresh Butternut squash in their cold veg room. Fantastic! JDReplyDelete
JD, I have used that pre-peeled and cubed butternut squash and agree that it's a great convenience food. When I have the time though I great prefer the freshly peeled whole squash. The pre-cubed squash is a little dried out in comparison and much more expensive, but if it gets people to cook butternut squash I'm all for it!ReplyDelete
Great selection of recipes! My first attempt at peeling a butternut squash was not exactly successful, but then I got a vegetable peeler like the one shown in your post and things got much better. I peeled a pumpkin the other day with it and it was also a breeze. Have a great weekend!ReplyDelete
Simona, so glad my method worked out for you!ReplyDelete
These recipes look amazing..great work on the pictures.ReplyDelete
Any ideas for Acorn squash? I'm stuck in the butter/brown sugar rut with it. Don't get me wrong, I could eat it that way ALL the time, just curious if there are any other ideas!ReplyDelete
Dara, all these recipes can be used with any type of winter squash, including acorn.ReplyDelete
Squash! I LOVE THE FALL for this reason :-) Yummy. This post pic looks amazing so I can't wait to read more. Thanks!ReplyDelete
Oh, great recipes, all of them...one a week...what could be better? There is always something delicious to be found here at your kitchen, Kalyn...ReplyDelete
Chere Michelle and Ronelle, thank you! So glad you're feeling inspired by the roasted squash recipes.ReplyDelete
My favorite part of this time of year is the roasted vegetables... like fresh tomatoes in the summer.ReplyDelete
I will be coming here when I'm searching for a new recipe.
Another friday's favorite for sure :-)
Thanks Sandi; I can tell that winter squash has a lot of fans!ReplyDelete
I love winter squash of all types, and your Moroccan Spice sounds delish! It is on tonight's menu,I'm really looking forward to it!ReplyDelete
- AnonymousNovember 8, 2010 at 11:31 AM
hi this looks delicious - is it Phase One friendly?ReplyDelete
Winter squash isn't allowed for phase one. If you click the link to the recipe it always tells what phase it's suitable for.ReplyDelete
- Food PrepNovember 9, 2010 at 9:55 AM
Oh my goodness these look amazing! Are they actual pictures of your results? I'm going to have to try a couple of these. Just in time for Thanksgiving too. Thanks.ReplyDelete
Yes, these are all my photos.ReplyDelete
I'm so happy you're taking the time to comment on Kalyn's Kitchen! I love hearing from people who stop by, especially if you're sharing feedback or asking questions about a recipe I've posted here.
I've recently changed my comment settings so people can comment without signing in, but you will need to check the box to show you're a live person, and comments on older posts won't show up until I publish them. Thanks for understanding!

What Is an Aneurysm?
Women from 30 to 60 years old are at highest risk of a brain aneurysm, while men over 65 are at highest risk of an aortic aneurysm.
An aneurysm is a bulging weak point in an artery.
Aneurysms most commonly occur in the arteries of the brain or in the body's largest artery, the aorta.
An aortic aneurysm can be in the chest (a thoracic aortic aneurysm or TAA) or in the abdomen (an abdominal aortic aneurysm or AAA).
Most people with an aneurysm don't even know they have one.
However, if the aneurysm grows large enough, the artery wall may become so thin that blood begins to leak into the wall of the blood vessel (called a dissection) or out into neighboring tissues or parts of the body.
An aneurysm can become so weak that it eventually bursts.
If a brain aneurysm leaks or ruptures, areas of the brain may not get sufficient blood circulation.
When the brain is deprived of blood (and therefore oxygen), a stroke results.
In other cases, an accumulation of blood from a leaking brain aneurysm may press on areas of the brain, causing brain damage.
When an aortic aneurysm leaks or ruptures, severe bleeding (called hemorrhage) may occur. This is a medical emergency that requires immediate attention.
Who Has Aneurysms?
In the United States, brain aneurysms occur in one out of every 50 people, though most of them will never have any symptoms or problems as a result.
About 27,000 people a year have a stroke caused by a burst brain aneurysm, and about 14,000 people die every year from aortic aneurysms — 75 percent of them from AAA.
Women between age 30 and 60 are most at risk for brain aneurysms, and men over the age of 65 are most at risk for aortic aneurysms.
Other groups who have a high risk of developing an aneurysm include people who:
- Smoke
- Have a family history of aneurysm
- Have high blood pressure
- Have atherosclerosis (blocked and weakened blood vessels)
- Have Marfan syndrome (a connective tissue disorder)
- Have untreated syphilis
- Have infections
- Have injuries
Signs of an Aneurysm
Sometimes a very large aneurysm may put pressure on neighboring nerves or tissues, causing pain, numbness, or other dysfunction.
However, most aneurysms cause no symptoms unless they begin to bleed or burst.
Symptoms of a dissecting or bleeding aneurysm depend on the aneurysm's location.
Symptoms may include intense pain (such as severe headache, throbbing or sharp pain in abdomen, chest and/or back), sweating, nausea, vomiting, and loss of consciousness.
Diagnosing Aneurysms
Many aneurysms are diagnosed incidentally when a patient undergoes a test for another reason.
Tests to confirm a diagnosis of aneurysm may include x-ray, ultrasound, CT scan, MRI scan, and dye studies to view the arteries.
Treating Aneurysms
Smaller aneurysms might not need treatment, just regular monitoring to make sure they aren't growing.
Some people can be treated with medicines that lower blood pressure and relax the arteries, decreasing the chance that the aneurysm will burst.
A brain aneurysm may be treated by sliding a tiny coil or clip into the area of the aneurysm, to prevent blood from reaching and enlarging it.
Larger aortic aneurysms or those that have already begun bleeding into the artery wall may need to be treated with an operation.
Surgery may be performed through an open incision or by sliding instruments through the blood vessels towards the aneurysm.

An emergency situation - what does drowning 'look like?'
DNR Conservation Officer
Most people do not have any idea what drowning looks like. Half of the people who'll drown this summer are within reach of someone who could save them.
Five things to watch for:
1. Head tilted back: The victim tilts his head back in a futile attempt to keep above water. His hair is typically over the forehead or eyes and he may seem like he's trying to roll over on his back.
2. Mouth at water level: He is trying hard to keep his mouth above water, so he can breathe; but he fails. A drowning victim cannot call for help. He can't yell if he can't breathe.
3. Body vertical: If a person were swimming, he would be more horizontal and kicking with his legs. He is in distress if he's vertical in the water — and over his head.
4. Facing land: The instinctive drowning response causes the victim to make for land. Nearly always, that's what he does.
5. "Ladder climbing": Instead of typical swimming-kicking motions, a drowning victim moves his legs as if trying to climb an invisible set of stairs.
Drowning is quiet and undramatic from the surface. It is the No. 2 cause of accidental death for ages 15 and under (just behind vehicle accidents).
Of the approximately 750 children who will drown nationwide, about 375 will do so within 25 yards of a parent or other adult. In some cases, the adult will actually watch the child drown, having no idea what is happening.
If children are near the water, you need to be with your children and know what drowning looks like.

Wyoming Girl Stars On 'Teen Mom 3′
Sweetwater County native Katie Yeager will be one of four girls participating in MTV's hit series 'Teen Mom.'
The third season debuts Monday, August 26th and will continue to air on MTV's prime time Monday slot.
The MTV audience was first introduced to Katie on an episode of '16 and Pregnant.' The documentary follows 16 year old girls and their struggles with pregnancy at a young age. Four of the '16 and Pregnant' stars are selected for follow-up show 'Teen Mom.'
"People notice me in public, which I'm not really used to yet" Katie said. "It's definitely made me more aware of my actions and how I present myself to people. Being on (Teen Mom) wasn't something I was gunning for necessarily, MTV just called and asked me if I'd like to be a part of it."
The '16 and Pregnant' episode gave a national audience a chance to see Rock Springs and Green River. Katie has now relocated to Salt Lake City where she works at the Department of Family Services.
"I definitely miss home a lot, I miss the beautiful mountains and my family." Katie added, "I enjoy it here, it's been a big adjustment because I grew up in such a small town where you knew everyone and everything about everybody. Now I don't know anyone and it's new, but it's a big change and it was needed."
Despite relocating, Katie is happy to be a Wyoming native. "A lot of people think it's cool to see how beautiful Wyoming is on TV, I'm definitely proud to be from Wyoming. I know everybody in Wyoming geeks out whenever we're mentioned on TV or anywhere because it's so small."
Although 'Teen Mom' is one of MTV's most watched shows, there are some quick to criticize. Yeager counters the critics by telling us "I think anybody who watches the show understands and sees how difficult it is and maybe makes them think twice about sex and abstinence and protection. It's very educational and serves as a cautionary tale."
Eight girls have been featured in the first two seasons of 'Teen Mom.' Katie said being a fan of the show has helped her cope with the struggles of being a young parent. "I learned something from all of the girls. They all have good stories to tell, we all make mistakes and bad decisions. I relate with all of them because we are all going through the same thing."
As for the show's debut Monday, Katie doesn't have any big plans. "I'm going to watch it alone at my house. I'll probably cry and laugh, I miss the other 'Teen Mom 3' girls a lot. I'm sure I'll be getting lots of phone calls from my family and friends, but I'm just kind of a person that likes to stay private." Yaeger said while laughing "I need to start combing my hair before I'm on national television. When I see myself on TV it's hard to believe I look like that and talk like that, I see some of the mannerisms that I didn't know I did until I watched myself."
Finally, the most important part of the story? Katie catches us up on how daughter Molli is doing… "She's wonderful, she's so smart. She started preschool and she just turned two on Sunday. She surprises me every day with how smart and peaceful and perfect she is."

When an elderly person sustains an injury
I remember reading somewhere that when an elderly person sustains a serious injury, they are near the end of their life (i.e. a leg injury that renders them immobile shortens their life). Is this true? If so, is there something that can be done to prolong their life?
Sustaining a serious injury is a challenge at any age. However, older people experience aging changes that may increase their challenge to heal injuries. But this does not mean that a specific older adult will "be near the end of their life" when sustaining a serious injury. Since there is minimal information in your note, it is difficult to provide specific answers about prolonging someone's life during a time of serious injury. Generally, if the older person is in reasonably good health, eats a healthy diet, maintains adequate hydration, doesn't smoke, and exercises regularly, recovery from serious injury is possible but it may take longer. prolonged inactivity may present more complications due to immobility and/or other impairments. Discuss a recovery program for the older person with the primary health provider so that your concerns about prolonging life are addressed.
If this answer does not provide you with information you wish, please write a more detailed description of the person (age, chronic illnesses, medications, activity level, general state of health etc.) and injury specifics so we can provide a more detailed answer.

Can you feel the love tonight? Actually, make it Saturday. Besides, it's just a little teaser to J&S Productions' finale of its debut summer cabaret series. Can you say, "The Lion King"?
The community theater's Kreamer family ends the five-part harmony, finishing with "Strictly Disney" at the 49-seat J&S Performing Arts Center in Vacaville.
Director Jeremy Kreamer has gathered Kathryn Williams, Kyle Stoner, and Sarah Lundstrom from the J&S company to complement guest performers Vivian and Bret McLaughlin in the 8 p.m. event. Erin Blackwood handles the piano accompaniment chores.
From the July 6 "Broadway" cabaret debut, the series has been a positive and learning experience, Kreamer said.
"I think we put together a really great series. Everyone seemed to enjoy the songs," Kreamer said.
The summer shows were spaced far enough apart to not burden Kreamer, who manage to skip town for a few short vacations.
"It's not draining at all. There's been plenty of time between each show," he said, happy that the last installment welcomes all ages.
"We decided that for the last show, it would be fun to open it up to all audiences," he said. "It's nice to close with a family-friend show."
Not that there's a drop-off in quality, Kreamer said, noting some of the soundtracks from Disney films are written by some of America's finest composers like Alan Menken, who scored The Little Mermaid, Beauty and the Beast, Aladdin, and Pocahontas.
"It's the most beautiful music," Kreamer said. "And it's great music to get a lot of kids and adults in the audience. And we have fabulous singers that can feature the music really well."
Each performer was asked to present a "Disney list" to Kreamer, who pondered which tunes would likely do well at the theater. Kreamer took into consideration whether the song was a ballad, up tempo, and required a solo, duet or group presentation.
"You try to have a nice mixture so we don't have slow songs back-to-back," he said.
The evening's package includes "a lot of trivia" incorporated in the show about the Disney films and songs, Kreamer said.
Expect tunes from Pocahontas, The Lion King, The Little Mermaid, Beauty and the Beast, High School Musical, Mulan, Pinocchio, Mary Poppins, and a handful of other Disney classics.
Though young people present their own challenges, coordinating adult performers isn't always a breeze, Kreamer said.
"You've got six professional singers, all with their own opinions," he said. "The hardest thing was to learn to try and stay open to everyone's opinion. It is a lot easier than little kids. You don't have to tell them (the adults) what to do. There's not as much direction involved."
Directing all the cabaret shows "established a reminder for myself that this is what I want to do for a living," Kreamer said. "It's my passion. It puts everything in perspective."
J&S Productions jumps right into "Oliver" and "Romeo & Juliet" after the Disney production, with forthcoming auditions, rehearsals and the unveiling in early 2014.
If you go ...
Who: J&S Productions
What: "Strictly Disney"
Where: J&S Performing Arts Center, 330 Cernon St., Vacaville
When: Saturday, 8 p.m.
Cost: $15 general; Age 12 to 17, $10; Children 2 to 11, $5

Is this is a software Oto Biscuit? Maybe not but it's from Sonic Charge so it's 100% going to be useful. 12bit delay, analog saturation, limiter, etc… Permut8 is available now for $66 (25% off if you own any of their other products). I'm going to try it tonight when I get home from work and will update this post with some thoughts. Please do tell me what you think!
"Permut8 is an effect plug-in that embraces the sounds of primitive signal processing hardware. At its core is a 12-bit digital delay with variable sample rate from 0 to 352 khz. The delay is controlled by a programmable processor that allows you to change and modulate the delay time with various "operators". The input and output stages offers virtual analog components for saturation, limiting and filtering. The sound of Permut8 is raw and complex but noisy and warm at the same time." – soniccharge.com

Bring your own device (BYOD) is becoming more and more popular in every type of business. This phenomenon stems from the wide adoption of smartphones among consumers and their insistence of being able to conduct business on their personal mobile devices. At times, these devices are company owned, but allowing individuals to bring and use their personal devices for business purposes can provide significant cost savings and is quickly becoming the norm. The primary concern with BYOD among corporate IT managers and solution professionals is the increased security risk that mobile devices bring to company IT networks.
LabTech Mobile Device Management (MDM) provides an environment where IT professionals can easily manage and secure mobile devices throughout their entire lifecycle. Built directly into LabTech, the MDM service allows for centralized management of all mobiles devices across all client sites from the same interface used to monitor your clients' networks. With LabTech MDM IT solution professionals can manage their clients devices running on Apple iOS® and Google Android™, letting them effectively enroll, configure, collect data, secure, and service employee and company-owned mobile devices while safeguarding their IT network from mobile security threats.

Customer Comments
I was very impressed and pleased by your service. I was shopping around for the perfume I ordered for my wife's birthday gift. I could not find it at many stores that I went; so I decided to buy it online. I must say that many other sites had it for double of what you had it for and when I saw your price I was sceptical because it was so much cheaper. I ended up ordering it anyway and seeing the Yahoo rating of your site made me feel a lot more easier in placing my order. I must tell you I was very pleased, I am a very picky consumer and when I shop I like to know what I am getting into. My order was here quicker than expected and from the day I placed my order I recieved an e-mail confirming it. Once again I am a very satisfied customer and I know where I am going to buy my Mother's birthday gift.

Ms. Sakiko Fukuda-Parr, Lead Author and Director of the Human Development Report
Dr. Gita Sen, Professor of Economics, Indian Institute of Management, Bangalore, India
Princess Basma Bint Talal, Chair of the Jordan Hashemite Fund for Human Development
Moderator: Dr. Mahnaz Ispahani, Senior Fellow for South & West Asia at the Council on Foreign Relations
Introduction by ROBERT W. RADTKE
My name is Robert Radtke and I am vice president of Policy and Business Programs here at the Asia Society and it is my pleasure to welcome you all here this evening. The Asia Society is honored to host the launch of the UNDP's 2002 Human Development Report entitled Deepening Democracy in a Fragmented World. We are very pleased this evening to have a distinguished set of panelists for tonight's event: Her Royal Highness Princess Basma from Jordan, the chair of the Jordan Hashemite Fund for Human Development; Sakiko Fukuda-Parr, Director of the Human Development Report; Professor Gita Sen, Professor of Economics at the Indian Institute of Management in Bangalore; and Dr. Mahnaz Ispahani, the Senior Fellow for South & West Asia at the Council on Foreign Relations.
The 2002 Human Development Report is timely and of critical importance. Its contribution lies in examining the links between political participation and equitable growth and proposing a set of principles and core values by which marginalized people everywhere can engage in a democratic process in a meaningful way. So often we overlook social and economic development when we rate democracies in the world, simply concentrating on the occurrence of elections and alteration of power. Amartya Sen, Nobel prize laureate, argues in his path breaking book, Development as Freedom, "despite unprecedented increases in overall opulence, the contemporary world denies elementary freedoms to vast numbers, perhaps even the majority, of people."
Tonight's panelists will argue why we need to pay attention to the mechanisms by which the voices of the disenfranchised can be heard and that good governance means national policies that are grounded in conducive political, social and economic environment. In individual human freedom lies the capacity for political participation, economic development and social progress. Now, without further ado, let me turn to Mahnaz Ispahani from the Council on Foreign Relations who will preside and moderate at tonight's panel. Thank you very much. Mahnaz?
Thank you, Robert. Can you hear me? Thank you. Let me join in extending my welcome to this New York launch of the Human Development Report 2002. It's really a privilege to be here. For those of you who've had a chance to even glance at it, it's quite an extraordinary report about a difficult subject. Its also an honor to be at the Asia Society which as you well know has been playing an increasingly important role in debating and creating a forum for dialogue on important social policy and social change issues, particularly as they pertain to that vast region we tend to call Asia.
I wanted to add to Rob Radtke's comments by saying that for many years now UNDP has really been an extraordinary innovator in both articulating the concept and helping to make real the notion of human development. This concept may have been around for centuries in different guises but it really took UNDP's work and the work of many civil society groups over years to give this sharpness and focus and make it the leading edge of a global development agenda. So now where as we seem to take this concept in many ways for granted, it really was an innovation and a very important one and UNDP deserves great credit for it. It lifted out the notion of development solely from the arena of economic growth, from the arena of technical expertise, into that of the kinds of choices human beings make, the kinds of ways in which most of us want to and are able to live lives that are of greater value, where we have access to knowledge, resources, where we can live lives of dignity. This was an extraordinary contribution and continues to be.
I think if you look at the current report Deepening Democracy in a Fragmented World, you'll see that the UNDP colleagues who put it out have both made a very important argument that really democratic systems of governance, both at the national and the global level, are probably the most likely to create environments that are conducive to human development. But on the other hand I don't think they flinch from taking on some of the complexities and challenges of creating real democratic institutions, again as I said, either at the local, national or global level. And I think we will hear from our speakers today and I hope in the discussion we can talk about how you try to realize these goals, make them real and lived in different regions which have different political trajectories and different human development capabilities today.
Our expectation is that we will have a session that goes 'til about 8 o'clock and each of our very distinguished speakers will have about 12 to 15 minutes each. That should leave us about half an hour for what I hope will be a very lively and engaging conversation. So while you have their bios, let me just say a few very brief words about each of our speakers in the order that we will be hearing them.
Sakiko Fukuda-Parr is, as you probably know, the lead author of the Human Development Report 2002, Deepening Democracy in a Fragmented World. She has been director of this UNDP publication since 1996 and has had a 25-year long career in this field where she has been an author of some very important studies. She is the editor of the Journal of Human Development and she has had work experience previously in North Africa and the Middle East.
Our second speaker will be Her Royal Highness Princess Basma Bint Talal of the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan, who has had a 30 year career in this field, a very distinguished one, where her focus has been on human development, gender equity and the well-being and development of children, primarily. She chairs several prominent NGOs in Jordan, including the Hashemite Fund for Human Development, and she was the founder of the Jordanian National Commission for Women. Currently, Princess Basma is also Goodwill Ambassador for UNIFEM, UNFPA and Honorary Human Development Ambassador for UNDP. Thank you for being here.
And our third speaker is going to be Dr. Gita Sen who has had an extraordinary career as both an activist and an academic. I think many of you probably know her many publications and books. She is a professor of economics at the Indian Institute of Management in Bangalore, in India, and also a research coordinator on alternative development frameworks at DAWN, which is a network of women activists and researchers which she helped found and which has pioneered some new ways of thinking about research and activism. So without further ado, let me turn to Sakiko.
Thank you very much and I am really very pleased and honored to be invited to present our 2002 Human Development Report to you this evening. Much, in fact, this whole report can be summarized by just looking at the cover design because you see these hands which symbolize the search and the victory of peoples' freedom in the world. And you see these birds flying, which shows the flourishing of that freedom. But then as is our tradition we also like to look at data and you see this curve is a graph actually of the number of countries that have become democratic. So you see this increasing number of countries becoming democratic in the world and today of course we have more countries that have democratic regimes than ever before in human history.
And yet the real challenge of our world today is in fact to deepen that democracy. That is why the title of this report is Deepening Democracy in a Fragmented World. And "deepening democracy" really means making it real for people. And why us that a challenge for everybody, not just for the people who live in non-democratic countries? It is because it is a challenge in all countries of the world, both new and old democracies, but also particularly important because we are living under this cloud of growing divides, growing political, economic, social divides and divides in which basically the anti-globalization movement, the terrorism are in fact a dominant social phenomena today. So as we are living in this very fragmented world, we absolutely desperately need a kind of political order that can make peoples' participation more meaningful.
