Cleaning your goose by the wet picking method
Ducks are so easy! Just grab a handful of feathers and pull, and out they come, leaving the skin behind. On the other hand, geese - especially light geese - are frustrating birds to pick, with feathers firmly attached to a fragile skin that tears easily. To loosen the feathers, the skin must be warmed up. My mother said that my grandmother used to warm a goose in the oven until the feathers pulled out easily. They also saved the feathers and down for making pillows. So far, my wife has nixed this method, so I use a less messy process of scalding the goose in hot, soapy water to loosen the feathers. The result of wet picking is a clean bird and no feathers to chase around the house. Removing the wings at the first joint before starting makes the process simpler.
Let's get started: Fill a large metal dishpan with water to a depth of about 4 to 6 inches. Heat to near boiling, and then add a fair amount of dish soap (Dawn, Ivory, etc. breaks down the oil in the feathers and allows the hot water to get to the skin). Place the pan on a drainboard or in the sink. Hold the goose by the head and feet. Dip it in the hot water breast side down, then turn it over so the back gets wet. Use a spatula or slotted soon to ruffle the feathers, working the water under the feathers and down to the skin, especially under the wings. Be sure to get the neck and tail feathers well soaked. When the areas you want to pick have been saturated, hold the bird up out of the water by its head, and use the spatula to strip excess water from the feathers. Lay the bird on a flat surface and pull some feathers to see if they come out easily. If not, repeat the process until they do.
Be careful not to overdo the scalding, or the skin will actually begin to cook, and become soft and fragile. It is much better to scald it a second time than to overdo it at the start. As you pick the bird, you can ladle hot water over stubborn spots that did not loosen up. Try to take a few feathers at a time, and support the surrounding skin so the skin doesn't tear.
To finish the job: Open the neck and back of the body cavity, draw the bird, and remove any lung or other tissue in the body cavity. I remove the oil gland or cut off the entire tail, as well as the feet. Soak the goose overnight in salt water in the refrigerator, then rinse and cook or freeze it the next day. Any small amount of down that was missed when the bird was picked will be easy to remove after the bird is cold.
With some practice, you will be able to perform like a pro. Your extra effort to pick the bird will be rewarded. The skin will keep the meat moist and flavorful when the goose has been roasted or smoked.

Wild Duck & Goose
- Onion (cut in slices)
- Celery (preferably stalks with leaves)
- Celery Salt
- Pepper
- Ground Sage
- Poultry Seasoning
- Garlic Powder
Quantities of the above ingredients you use will depend on your individual taste preferences, but don't be afraid to use a liberal amount.
Cover an area on the foil as large as the bird with onion slices.
Put a few stalks of celery on top of the onions. (You may want to cut the celery to avoid the possibility of a stalk piercing the foil when you fold it up.)
Sprinkle liberally with the seasonings.
Place the bird, breast down on top of this bed of ingredients.
Then sprinkle the top (back) of the bird with seasonings, just as you sprinkled the vegetables on the foil.
Then cover the bird with onion slices and celery. (This is easier if you cut the onion slices in half to get a U shape that fits easier over the back of the bird and stays in place - use the inside of the slice on the foil, the outside part of the slice on the back to make life easier.)
Inside smaller celery stalks with leaves stay in place better here, as well.
Excess vegetables can be placed into the body cavity.
Now, fold the foil from the sides over the top of the bird and seal the edges. This will make a foil tube with the bird inside.
Then fold up and seal the front of the foil, and place the bird on a rack in a covered pan.
When the bird is placed in the pan, pour about 1 cup of water into the pouch, and seal the remaining end.
Then, pour a cup or two of water into the pan and cover the pan with the lid or with foil, if you do not have a lid. As an option, it is possible to use a plastic baking bag if you don't have a suitable pan, but be sure to put the foil pouch in the baking bag.
Bake at 310 to 325 degrees for about 4 hours for a duck, 5-6 hours for a goose.
During the process, DON'T PEEK! This is the most critical part of the process. If the water around the bird evaporates, the water in the meat does too, and it is replaced by fat. By cooking with water in a slow oven, the bird almost stews in its own juice, and doesn't dry out. When you open the pouch you should be rewarded with a bird that has collapsed into itself, and is tender and juicy. My preference is to discard the skin and the bones, saving only the meat. Enjoy!

Marni Stacked Bangles
March Shopping Madness: Stack 'em High
The way to wear bangles this season is to stack 'em high — and I mean high. Bangles come in all sizes and colors so you can choose and mix and match to your heart's delight. Dig Marni (left) using oversized futuristic designs to embody this trend; the larger-than-life size demands attention. The key to pulling off this look is to stack them on one wrist only or you'll end up looking like an over-accessorizer. Also, group themes and complementary colors together. Have fun . . .

The modern life of a race-car driver is not always spent with his hands on the wheel, practising with the car he will be racing.
The reality is, as much time or more time is spent with hands extended in boardrooms hoping to shake on a deal that will allow a driver to even get his hands on the wheel of anything other than the ol' Mustang he (or she) still has in the garage.
It's something Alex Tagliani knows all too well from recent experience.
While the popular Canadian driver is in Edmonton to help promote this summer's Rexall Indy, the fifth running of open-wheel racing extravaganza at City Centre Airport, he's also here working on a proposal that will have him in a car.
"It is difficult because you're out there not really taking the time to train and to focus just as a driver and (on the) driving," Tagliani said at Northlands yesterday.
He is a notorious fitness buff, as a racer needs to be. But he's also proven tireless working for and with media, sponsors and promoters here in Edmonton - where he's raced both when it was a ChampCar event, as well as with the NASCAR Canadian Tire series last year - in Toronto, before the long-running event there took a forced hiatus in 2008, and, of course, at events in his hometown of Montreal.
Tagliani has also become all-too-aware of an environment where all but a handful of drivers need to bring sponsorship packages to the car owners' table.
It's part of the deal he's come to accept.
"I'm playing a small part in trying to promote the sport that I love."
The economic dive of recent months doesn't help for a racing series that has faced its own economic obstacles in recent years as it attempts to regain a status that had it alongside NASCAR in North American racing prominence.
"First of all, yes, it's a difficult climate," said Tagliani. "But nobody's going to stop advertising, because everybody still wants to sell things.
"It is financially difficult, but Iife goes on and everybody has to work hard - work harder - for the same things."
Which is what he is currently pitching to as-yet unnamed groups.
"One of the reasons why I'm here for these three days:we've put together a proposal to a group of companies, something long-term, something that will benefit (everybody).
"It's a project really worth putting in the time and effort.
"As a Canadian driver, it's very important to me we protect the events that we have. We're lucky - and we need to feel lucky - that we have two IndyCar events in Canada.
"Losing an event can be devastating. I know it for a fact. A lot of people in Montreal are going to feel the pain this year with the loss of Formula One."

Milestone Game
St Petersburgh,Fla - As Jerel McNeal moves closer toward becoming Marquette's all-time leading scorer, his play seems to be getting better.
After facing the worst team in the Big East in their last game, McNeal and the No. 8 Golden Eagles likely won't get much of a tougher challenge on Friday when they visit South Florida.
Oddsmakers from Online Sportsbook Sportsbook.com have made the Marquette -9 point spread favorites for Thursday's game against the So Florida Current College Basketball Public Betting Information shows that 57% of more than 184 bets for this game have been placed on the Marquette -9
McNeal has scored at least 21 points in his last six games and is averaging 26.3 points, 6.3 assists and 3.7 steals in the last three. He led Marquette (20-2, 9-0) to its 12th straight win Tuesday, finishing with 26 points, six assists, five steals and a career-high four blocked shots in a 76-61 victory at DePaul.
"I never try to impact the game," said McNeal, who has recorded nine of his career-high 17 blocks in the last three games. "I want to have a variety of ways I can impact the game, but anytime you have that versatility, you can help your team a lot. It becomes a situation where the opposing team has to account for me at all times."
McNeal's performance on Tuesday gave him 1,731 career points. He needs five more to surpass Butch Lee for second on Marquette's all-time list, and with 43 points he'll take over as the Golden Eagles' top scorer, moving past George Thompson, who set the record in 1969.
"If I could come up with a few more adjectives, I would," Marquette coach Buzz Williams said. "I think he's playing with an unbelievable chip on his shoulder, with a toughness that defines him as a person and as a player. He's all over the floor every possession, and that's why his line looks the way that it does. He's playing maybe as good as he could play every possession of the game."
The Golden Eagles are trying for their longest winning streak since the 1975-76 team won 23 in a row. Marquette, off to its best start since the 1977-78 squad opened 22-2, hasn't lost since falling 80-68 to then-No. 16 Tennessee on Dec. 16.
After beating a DePaul team that is winless in Big East play, Marquette will face a team that isn't playing much better. The Golden Eagles have won seven straight over South Florida (7-14, 2-7) and are 14-2 against the Bulls all-time.
South Florida, which hasn't won in the series since a 75-63 victory in Milwaukee on Dec. 13, 1998, has held McNeal in check. In two meetings, the 6-foot-3 guard has averaged 9.5 points and shot 7-for-22 from the field (31.8 percent).
The Bulls are trying to avoid a fourth straight loss after falling 65-48 at St. John's on Sunday. They shot 35.3 percent in their second-lowest scoring game of the season and were outscored 37-26 in the second half.
Leading scorer Dominique Jones had 16 points on 7-of-14 shooting, but the rest of the Bulls shot 29.7 percent (11-for-37).
"We just couldn't find the basket today," coach Stan Heath said. "Our offensive shooting is a struggle right now."
Heath's team is averaging 58.4 points and shooting 38.8 percent in the last five games.
South Florida has lost all five games this season against ranked opponents, including three at home.

John Wall has been off-the-wall. A triple-double in the sixth game of your NBA career is insane. And it's made Wall the talk of the town. Which begs the question: where is the former talk of the town, Gilbert Arenas?
Technically, we know he is playing and still contributing to the team -- but what is his role? It no longer seems to be that of superstar. But is he a mentor to the new superstar?
In a new interview with Sports Illustrated, Arenas says that's exactly the role his is trying to take with the rookie. Some have said that the two wouldn't get along or that Arenas would basically become old news. But it turns out this is exactly the scenario Arenas has been waiting for.
"I said to my friends that I wish this happened four years ago," Arenas told SI. "I wish it happened before the knee injuries, because this team would have been fabulous. I always kept saying I wanted another two guard that can take on the scoring or for them to bring in a point guard so I can go to the two. When they drafted him, I thought it was the smartest idea."
Since drafting Wall, the two guards have been inseparable. Arenas told SI he is constantly trying to encourage Wall to have confidence in his jump shot and giving him individual scouting reports on certain defenders.
"He has been great," Wall told SI's Chris Mannix. "He's helping me out as much as he can, and I'm learning a lot just by watching him play."
"This is easier for me," Arenas said in the article. "I don't have to do all the thinking. I said, 'You do the thinking, I'll do the shooting.'"
Arenas was somewhat of an open book about his new role, demeanor and attitude. He admitted that when he faked a knee injury at the beginning of the season that it wasn't to let Nick Young have more playing time, but because he was afraid he would get booed.
"I was really scared of getting booed," Arenas said. "It's a little crazy because I was here with Kwame Brown when Kwame was scared to go out there. I used to be like, Man, it's just boos. Now here I was six years later, and I was him. I was scared to go out there."
And he talked about his reputation as a practical joker.
"I understand what people think because of the perception of me," Arenas said. "They read the funny stuff, like me taking a crap in [teammate] Andray Blatche's shoes. But nobody is going to ask what Andray did to deserve it…I don't get in trouble outside of this building. You are not going to catch me drinking and driving, or picking up prostitutes. People don't see what my teammates see, the guy who is in here three times a day working out. That's the guy they don't see."
By the way, Arenas finally explained why Blatche's tennis shoes turned into a toilet. According to this video on TruthAboutIt.net, it was all a misunderstanding. Arenas claims he was blamed for cutting up Blatche's suit, which he says he didn't do. So Blatche put Arenas' clothes in the jacuzzi. The rest is, well, history. Gross, disgusting history. But history nonetheless.
And it seems since those days are now over, Arenas is looking for a little redemption and perhaps a chance to restore his legacy.
"I've had three knee injuries," Arenas said. "I've disgraced my legacy here. For me to move over for John Wall is a no-brainer. What's the point of me fighting with him all day? It isn't going to make me look any better. It's not like I think I'm God's gift to the NBA and can't step aside for somebody else. I can move aside for John Wall. That's no problem for me."

I'm still not entirely sure how "Sucker Punch" will pan out, but it sure isn't going to be lacking in girl power, that's for sure. THR reports that Amanda Seyfried, Vanessa Hudgens, Abbie Cornish, Evan Rachel Wood and Emma Stone are getting ready to fill out the film's all-girl cast, with Seyfriend taking the leading role in a film that Zack Snyder has described as "'Alice in Wonderland' with machine guns".
Here's more on the plot from The Hollywood Reporter:
Set in the 1950s, "Punch" follows a girl who is confined to a mental institution by her stepfather, who intends to have her lobotomized in five days. While there, she imagines an alternative reality to hide her from the pain, and in that world, she begins planning her escape, needing to steal five objects to help get her out before she is deflowered by a vile man.
THR says Seyfried (above, left) will play the lead, a girl name Babydoll, while Seyfried will play a fellow inmate, along with Hudgens (below) as Blondie, Cornish as Sweet Pea, Wood as Rocket and Stone as Amber. All the girls apparently travel along with Babydoll to her weird alternate reality.
I still have no idea how Snyder is going to pull this off unless he's going the "Brazil" route, minus the red tape and a lot of slow motion. Like, really a lot. Zack Snyder likes his slow motion.

Nobody put pen to paper to carve out a systematic plan for thoroughgoing reform.

wikiHow to Photograph Important Events
You have an event to attend and everyone knows you have the nice camera and expect some pics out of you for everyone to share. Here are some ideas for that.
1Take pictures of everything. The day of the event, preparations, cleanup...everything.
2Make sure you have plenty of film or memory cards. Whether using a film camera or a digital camera, you always want extras.
3Remember your batteries. If it needs a certain type of batteries, or a type of charger, bring it. The room that they take is minimal and the photographic opportunities that you could miss are infinite.
4Have some idea of the type of lighting that you will be dealing with. Photography is all about lighting and its uses.
5For group shots, have everyone move close together. You will want to have a few group shots even if not everyone is in them.
6Get introduced. If you aren't well known, make sure that you have a few people who know you there. Otherwise, you may just find yourself arrested!!!
7Always watch out for photographic opportunities!

It's great for segmenting dial-in and email-only users on a dialing pool, supporting both Max units and Xylogics (now Bay) servers from a single password file, and probably others. It will probably work with Cisco or Livingston servers as well by changing the dictionary file and turning off the -DASCEND extensions within the makefile, but you may need to experiment.

i'm on the final step.. when i load preloader.. nothing happens for me.
do i need to make any adjustments to the wads in wad manager?
Preloader is also an optional install, if you don't want it just skip b & c, but you must do step d, system menu hacks can be taken care of by Starfall (3.2) or startpatch (4/4.1), if you want them click my sig and have a look through my mediafire. There are no system hacks for 3.3/3.4. There are now Preloader hacks for 4.1J Wiis.
a) If you are on system menu 4/4.1 use Wad Manager with default settings (IOS249 & SD card) to install IOS60-patched.wad - make sure you do this before you install Preloader. If you installed it in step 4 then skip this part. Never uninstall IOS60! You will brick!!
b). Open the Homebrew Channel and load Preloader, press 1 to install. After install, your Wii should reboot and load the Preloader menu. If it doesn't, turn your wii off and on again whilst holding down reset and it will load the Preloader menu.
c) Select 'system hacks' in the Preloader menu, and enable the hacks that you want - 'skip disc update check' and the region free ones are all you need. Select 'save settings' and wait for confirmation message to display 'settings saved'. Press B to go back, and enter Settings. Set 'Autoboot: System Menu' using D-Pad, then select save settings. Press B to return to main Preloader menu.
d) In the Preloader menu select Homebrew Channel (if you didn't install Preloader then just open HBC as normal), run Wad Manager 1.4, use default settings (IOS249 & SD card) and install these wads from the 'wad' folder:
Then restart your Wii.

A BLACKPOOL takeaway with "a streak of evil running through it" has been shut down by police.
Funny Boyz, on Dickson Road in the town centre, has had its premises licence revoked on the grounds of public safety after an application by Blackpool Police.
Among the dossier of evidence which went before a specially-convened licensing meeting were:
n Numerous incidents of serious violence in and around the fast food outlet.
n Major health and safety breaches.
n Weapons such as baseball bats and hammers being kept under the counter.
Earlier this month, Funny Boyz was the scene of a murder investigation.
Detectives searching for the body of Blackpool teenager Charlene Downes searched the inside of the building and dug up the basement in their hunt for evidence of foul play.
Blackpool Council's licensing committee yesterday heard evidence gathered over many months as to why the outlet should be shut down.
Sgt Richard Hurt, of Blackpool Police's Nightsafe team, said: "The committee was told the premises had an evil streak running through it and deemed it necessary to revoke the licence on the grounds of public safety, the prevention of harm to children, crime and disorder and health and safety. A lot of hard work and consideration by PC Christine Booth went into making this application.
"We gathered evidence of after-hours sales, health and safety breaches and, worryingly, offensive weapons being stored behind the counter.
"Under the counter, they were keeping baseball bats and hammers, which we cannot tolerate."
The licence holder, Tariq Mohammed Albattikhi, appeared at the town hall with legal representation and now has 21 days to appeal the decision, during which his business can stay open.
This was the first such application made in Blackpool under the new powers of the Licensing Act 2003.
It came into force in November and police have fired a warning shot across the bows of all other takeaways in the town.
Sgt Hurt added: "This is the first and sends a clear message to the takeaway trade to comply with the requirements of their licence or face losing your business.
"Now we have these powers, we will be using them."
A Blackpool Council spokeswoman said: "The committee heard there had been a catalogue of incidents which raised serious concerns about the management of the premises and the conduct of employees.
"Such are the concerns the committee came to the conclusion the only way to safeguard the licensing objectives was to revoke the licence.
"This decision will come into effect in 21 days unless notice of appeal is served within that time."
n Iyad Albattikhi, 28, of Dickson Road, has been charged with the murder of Charlene Downes, who disappeared from her North Shore home in November 2003.
Mohammed Raveshi, 49, of Hornby Road, is charged with assisting in the disposal of a body. Both men are remanded in custody.

Got a Linear Rocks ticket?
18 comments
Linear Technology is a company built on its founders undying belief in analog, its mission carried out with equal convictions by hundreds of analog gurus working for the company.
Linear doesnt seem to mind describing itself as almost a cult-like company.
Of course, if you have a ticket to attend Linears 30th anniversary party, Linear Rocks, scheduled this Saturday (Oct. 22nd) at San Jose Convention Center, you already knew that.
Bob Swanson, who co-founded Linear in 1981 with Bob Dobkin, will be preaching the analog faith when he speaks at the event. In a recent interview with EE Times, Swanson tipped off a punch line for his planned speech: Linear isnt a company with a few geniuses at the core, surrounded by thousands of helpers. This is a company with a few helpers like myself and others in the middle, surrounded by hundreds of geniuses.
Swanson, who passed his CEO torch to Lothar Maier in 2005, still remains as feisty as ever. He is a rare executive who knows how to speak his mind. Swanson didnt mince words about himself, his company, companies he had formerly worked for and his competitors, when he sat down with EE Times recently at Linears headquarters in Milpitas, Calif.
We asked him to reflect on his own career, his 30 years at Linear, and a few big unexpected changes that affected the industry over that span.
Today, nothing amuses him more than hearing that a big semiconductor company is trying to reinvent itself as an analog powerhouse; or when the financial community and media say that analog is hot. When Swanson started Linear, what the world was beginning to celebrate wasnt analog, but the so-called digital revolution. Swanson lost sleep over the future of the analog business, which was under attack by the then prevailing myth that digital technology would smother analog.
Everyone almost bought that story.
For Swanson, analogs premature burial represents the single biggest change. The spotlight on analog in todays semiconductor industry gives him both a chuckle and a bit of vindication.
In 1981, for Dobkin and I, all we knew was analog, said Swanson.
In early days, I remember I went to Bob [Dobkin]s office every day, asking him if this talk about the digital revolution is true. And Bob, every time, assured me that analog would not go away, said Swanson.
Indeed, in 1981, analog was already a crowded field with as many as 50 players, he explained. Analog was perceived as existing old technology, and everyone said, who needs better analog? Swanson noted, So, after 30 years, the biggest surprise for me was that the digital revolution turned out to be a friend of analog.
Swanson remembers the time his team did a teardown on one of Hewlett Packards lab instruments. DSP was supposed to be its biggest feature.
Inside the HPs measurement box, it turned out that there was one DSP, compared to 92 analog components.
The second surprise for Swanson was that many in the analog business today have embraced the idea of high-performance analog. Swanson said, That was the marketing term we invented at Linear, when we were developing precision analog and op amps. Swanson said, We had to ask ourselves what it is that we are after. We identified that we are committed to high-performance analog, and we decided to call it high performance analog.
Steve Ohr, analyst for analog and Power Semiconductors at Gartner, Technology and Service Provider Research, explained that Linears strategy has always been to stick with standard multi-market building blocks amplifiers, data converters, power management ICs but design and build the kinds of parts whose specifications (typically speed, precision and/or low-power consumption) are so finely-tuned that competitors find those specs difficult, if not impossible, to duplicate.
Its strategy of skimming the very high-end of the standard analog parts market has made Linear successful, and its still valid today, Ohr noted.

Mangaluru: Sunday, being a lazy-day while most of the people were still on their bed relieving themselves after a week-long hectic work days at their respective work-places, but members of Ramakrishna Mission along with volunteers from other organizations had got up early and started the clean-up work near Bunts Hostel circle area, as part of the 40 weeks Cleanliness Drive being undertaken by the Ramakrishna Mission (Ashram), which was initiated on the 1st February 2015.
Their campaign has been going on in full swing, with many volunteers from Schools/colleges/organizations coming forward to take part in this unique project in order to make Mangaluru a cleaner city, under the campaign "Swachh Bharath" launched by PM Modi. Under this mission organized by the Ashram, the student volunteers and other adult volunteers will assemble in the Ashrama on every Saturday evenings for an evening retreat, "Swacch Manas" where they are taught meditation, bhajans and inculcation of values of social responsibility.
Since the launch of this project, Ramakrishna Mission carried out "Swacch Mangaluru for Swacch Bharath" – cleanliness drive on 19th consecutive Sunday on the 7th June at Bunts Hostel Circle here. The drive was inaugurated by SrimaT Swami Gautamanandaji Maharaj, senior trustee, Ramakrishna Math Belur math and Adhyaksha, Ramakrishna Math, Chennai in the presence of Swami Atmajnanandaji, Swami Amurtanandaji, Swami Purnakamanandaji and several monks of Ramakrishna Math. M R Vasudeva, Capt. Ganesh Karnik, Sri Madan, SI-Bunder, along with several other eminent persons joined in this project.
Braving the morning showers, employees of two daily newspapers, members of Yuva Brigade, BJP Mahila Morcha, other devotees, volunteers and well-wishers of the Ashrama took an active part in the drive. The volunteers cleaned the drain in the area and removed tons of garbage accumulated thus preventing a possible deluge in that area during the rainy season. Sand scattered on the street which was posing a major threat to vehicles resulting in minor accidents was cleared thus giving way to easy movement of vehicles. The footpath which had developed cracks and holes due to unscientific laying was another nuisance to daily commuters in the area. It has been reported that children were getting their foot stuck in them and falling- so the volunteers covered the openings/holes with cement.
The bus shelter in the area which had not seen maintenance since its erection was renovated and painted thus giving a facelift. The railing outside which was in the brink of falling was relocated and painted. The plot inside Bunts Hostel Circle was also cleaned and synthetic grass was laid thus adding to the beauty of the circle. Handbills on awareness were distributed by our volunteers among the public in the locality. MRPL, principal patron sponsored this week's initiative.
They may belong to two different political parties, but Capt Ganesh Karnik of BJP and MR Vasudeva of AAP were seen busy engaged in the clean-up. Speaking to mangalorean.com they said , "It is a very good initiative taken by Ramakrishna Mission with a strong motto to see that Mangaluru is kept clean under PM Modi's "Swachh Bharath Abhiyan". This is a people's task. India can do it. People of India can do it, including Mangaloreans. Yes, volunteers under the guidance of Ramakrishna Mission are doing a great job of cleaning, but it's also the responsibility of the general public to see that they don't litter the place again which has been cleaned with dedication and community service by these volunteers. we both are glad to be part of this campaign".
Now if the streets are dirty again, there are reasons, one of them there aren't enough garbage bins to throw garbage, and worse, no public toilets, and then you are forced to dirty up the place, it could be citizens mistake, and in the same time, government's too for not providing better facilities. We need more than some media campaign, we need some real groundwork being done from government. You want me to not litter, well then provide me garbage bins, you don't want me to pee on the roadside, well have public toilets installed etc etc. Well, while Ramakrishna Mission volunteers and rest of the citizens are trying to keep city clean, the government should also cooperate in providing enough dustbins/garbage bins and also enough toilets. The govt officials should also join hands with the volunteers and note how the Swacch Bharath campaign is progressing.
Let's learn something about Ramakrishna Mission and it's Swachh Bharath Campaign:
Ramakrishna Mission, Mangalore is a branch of the worldwide organization, Ramakrishna Math and Ramakrsihna Missionstarted by Swami Vivekananda, a century ago. Since its inception in Mangalore more than six decades back, the Ashramahas initiated several welfare activities for the benefit of the needy. Their main focus has been instilling values in youths, students, teachers, professionals and corporates. All their programmes have received compliments and praises to the quality, content and commitment of their institution for the ideal it represents.
What is Swacch Mangaluru for Swacch Bharath?
On special request from Govt. of India and suggestion from our Headquarters, Mangalore Ramakrishna Mission has taken up "Swacch Bharath Abhiyan" in Mangalore city. They launched "Swacch Mangaluru for Swacch Bharath" programme which was inaugurated on the 1st February 2015 at a grand function attended by about 1500 youths, general public and several eminent men of repute. They also honored about 75 sweepers and other workers of City Corporation as a token of respect for their services in keeping the city clean.
Why only Ramakrishna Mission?
Cleaning the nation is not a day's job. Neither can this be achieved by just govt agencies. It demands participation from each and every responsible citizen. Ramakrishna Mission has always stood in the forefront in the service of the society. They seize this opportunity to serve the nation through leading from the front by taking up this cleanliness drive. Coupled with their concern is the special request from Govt. of India.
How? – The Action Plan
In a nutshell, the Abhiyan involves about 4000 youths and volunteers cleaning the city and improving basic amenities under the aegis of Ramakrishna Mission for 40 consecutive Sundays. They have already completed 5 successful drives in different localities which have been listed elsewhere. In addition, they are also conducting "Swachh Manas for Swachh Bharath" – an evening with their young volunteers who join their hands in the cleanliness drive. As they assemble in the Ashrama on Saturdays, they will be taught meditation, briefed about our activities, the need for this programme, creating an awareness among them regarding their social responsibilities and inculcating values among them through interaction, discourse and bhajans etc. They are also provided food, tea, snacks and accommodation.
What is the Drive about?
This Initiative includes: Cleaning roads and public places; Awareness programme through distribution of literature (about 1500 persons every week); Urgent & minor road repairs; Clearance of drainage and garbage; Renovation of dilapidated and neglected bus shelters; Painting and beautification of compound wall; Clearing non-usable dumping places for public utility; Developing gardens and planting saplings at road medians; Adopting a few roads; Planting saplings on roadsides; and Cleaning and painting in the govt. school premises.
When do they have the Drive?
Volunteers assemble in the Ashrama on every Saturday evenings for an evening retreat. On Sunday for about three hours in the morning the drive is being carried out by the volunteers. Volunteers shall be having this drive for 40 weeks. This cleanliness Drive will be held in 2015-16 in the first phase. The main prop of their programme has been the dedication and commitment of youth volunteers and students from different institutions in and around Mangaluru. Added to their dynamism is the devoted service and zeal of our devotees – well-wishers and friends who have continually supported the Ashram. Govt. officials and agencies have also lent all the possible help in this programme.
To review the past few programmes and to present before their supporters and well-wishers Ramakrishna Mission is bringing out a pictorial booklet which portrays the progress that they have made in the past five weeks, the challenges that were ahead of them and how they melted before the zealous dedication and commitment of their volunteers. Each picture will speak in volumes. They hope the booklet will motivate youngsters and well-wishers to join their programme in hundreds and contribute their mite in the nation building process. With nineteen weeks already passed of Swachh Mangaluru for Swachh Bharath Programme and twenty one weeks' drive still ahead, the organizers hope, by the grace of the Almighty and with the support of generous public and youth they will complete this herculean task and ensure a better tomorrow for the future generations.
If anyone is interested in joining this "Swachh Mangaluru for Swachh Bharath" programme undertaken by Ramakrishna Mission can call 0824-2414412 or 9448353162

I have been wanting to go to the Grand Canyon for years! Stunning! Glad you're having a great trip so far!
Our time in Las Vegas is zooming by, but I wanted to share a sneak peak of what we've been up to. Our weekend was fantastic and Mother Nature was in her full glory. Here's a little taste of our hikes in the Grand Canyon and Zion National Park.
Our first stop was Zion National Park where we hiked the Narrows (photos to come soon). Our second stop was the Cayon Overlook Trail. It was well worth the hike for the views of sunset over the canyon.
The following day we made the most spectacular drive out to the North Rim of the Grand Canyon. It's a cliché for me to say there are no words or pictures that can accurately describe the Grand Canyon, but it's true. I feel blessed to have been able to witness it for myself.
Our trip would not have been possible (or nearly as much fun) without this guy and his great group of friends who allowed us to tag along on their adventures. A huge thank you to everyone and many more photos to come!

So strange – but one of my friends and I are now considering doing a week in this area – so I'm really excited about your Narrows photos since he is intimidated by it. I need to prove to him that it's not as hard and scary as he thinks…at least I hope it's not!
Alison August 11, 2010 at 23:54
Oh man, if I can do it, anyone can. It's not hard or scary at all. Just wear clothes you don't mind getting wet and a walking stick is helpful but not necessary. I didn't have one because it was too much with the camera. I do recommend taking lots of zip-locks to stash camera and other electronics in.

Growing up with two older brothers in the small Panhandle town of Tulia, Mikey Marshall learned a few tough lessons about getting the ball away from bigger, older players like Tim and Phillip Marshall.
The key is rebounding. No matter your size or age, if you fight for the ball hard enough, you can get the ball and score.
''It was the only way I could get it,'' Mikey said.
The lesson has lasted a lifetime.
After getting the ball away from his brothers from time to time as a kid, Marshall has taken the rebounding habit to Texas Tech, where Bob Knight calls him ''the epitome of a team player'' for the 24th-ranked Red Raiders (16-5).
Scoring always seems the be the last thing on Mikey's mind.
''There's nobody that I've had as long as I've coached, that more epitomizes the word team player than Mike,'' said Knight, Tech's head men's basketball coach. ''I think Mike brings a great enthusiasm to our team. I think Mike epitomizes what being a team player is all about in many different ways.''
It all goes back to a wooden, welded 9-foot-6 basket in Tulia, where rebounding and passing became more of a fun thing to do for Mikey than shooting it.
That's his niche, in a nutshell. He's the rebounding, cheerleading future leader of a guard for Knight and Tech.
More recently, he's also become more of a key role player for Tech this month, including Wednesday night's 64-62 loss at 14th-ranked Oklahoma State. Marshall played 24 minutes and led Tech with five assists.
In his previous two games, the 6-foot-4 sophomore guard played a combined 38 minutes with eight rebounds and six assists. His first start of the season came in last week's 69-43 win against Iowa State. He celebrated it by grabbing seven rebounds in just 14 minutes.
''He's always been a dominant force on the boards,'' said Tommy Miller, Marshall's high school coach at Tulia. ''I would say half his points came off offensive rebounding. He didn't look to shoot out of the offense that much. If we ran a play for him, he still gave it up.''
Miller's one complaint about Marshall might be his biggest compliment. With as much talent as he owned as a high school player, Mikey might have been too unselfish, if such a thing is possible.
If Mikey was just a little bit more of a ball hog, his star might have been even brighter at Tulia, where he helped lead his teams to a 112-14 record over four seasons. In his freshman season of 1996-97, all three Marshall played together to lead Tulia to a state runner-up finish in Class 3A with a 35-3 record. The Hornets lost in the state championship game against Dallas Madison.
Tim and Phillip Marshall both went on to play for Clarendon College. Mikey averaged 9.7 rebounds, 3.8 assists, 2.9 steals and just 13.3 points over four years at Tulia before signing with Tech under former coach James Dickey. He chose Tech over Texas-El Paso and Texas Christian.
''I couldn't get him to shoot the ball enough,'' Miller said. ''Anything else, I would ask him to do, he would do. We kind of had a battle that he wouldn't look to shoot enough. In our level, he could have really dominated, but he always assured me if he had to do it, he would do it if we needed it.''
''Whatever the team needs'' has been Marshall's mantra for as long as he's been playing. It started on the driveway of their home in Tulia, where Mikey was the youngest of three Marshall brothers. Tim was oldest, four years older than Mikey. Phillip was the middle brother, two years older than Mikey.
The brothers welded a goal in the driveway at a height of 9 feet, 6 inches. The backboard was wooden with a breakaway rim.
Mikey, who was shorter than his brothers until his high school years, battled both of them against it for the ball, developing one of his two primary traits as a player on the court: rebounding.
The other one is enthusiasm. From the bench or from the floor, Marshall is considered the most vocal and helpful player this year under Knight. He waves a towel from the bench. He shouts instructions from the floor.
If he's in the game or not, he's still doing something, anything, to light a spark for Tech.
''Some teammates get down on themselves because they make a turnover or something,'' said Mikey, whose team next faces No. 2 Kansas on the road in a 3 p.m. game on Saturday. ''You just have pick them up and get them going again. I've always done that. I don't know why. I basically feel I can bring a lot of enthusiasm to our team.''
His coaches only wished that more of his teammates would act the same way. On a team with seven new players, emotion and communication haven't always been displayed at premium levels this season.
Some have even labeled it as an important issue to improve down the stretch. Right now, Mikey sets the standard.
''He's at least one kid who will get the guys together out on the floor,'' Tech assistant coach Pat Knight said. ''He gets upset if we're playing bad. He brings good emotion to the game when he's in there.''
When he's not the game, he's on the bench playing the same part. A case in point came in during the start of his senior season at Tulia. Mikey had a stress fracture in his foot and missed several games to start the year.
''He was the team leader even though he wasn't on the floor,'' Miller said. ''In timeouts, sometimes I felt like I just needed to let him take over.''
The trait is widely noticed. After this year and beyond, some have tagged Mikey as a floor leader and more. As one of Tech's better ball-handers, he often pushes the ball up the floor and ranks 10th in the Big 12 Conference in assists/turnover ratio at 2.0. His 40 assists rank fourth on the team despite ranking sixth on the team in average playing time at 14.5 minutes.
His total points scored is classic Mikey at 44, just four more than his total assists, and 25 less than his total rebounds (69).
''I love playing with him,'' Tech junior forward Kasib Powell said. ''You just have to love the way he plays. He plays his heart out. He just tries to get the crowd into it. He tries to get us into it. He just has intensity the whole time he's out there.''

LV County Championship - Division One
Headingley Carnegie - Day Four
Surrey 204 (G J Kruis 5-47) & 264-3 (S A Newman 129, M R Ramprakash 112 no) v Yorkshire 414-9 dec (A U Rashid 67 no, J A Rudolph 64, A W Gale 63, G J Kruis 50 no)
Yorkshire (12pts) drew with Surrey (8pts)
Yorkshire's relegation clash with Surrey endeed in a draw, with the undoubted highlight of day four Mark Ramprakash's 100th century in First Class cricket.
The former England and Middlesex batsman reached the landmark at 4.12pm when he leaned back and cut left-arm spinner David Wainwright to the boundary.
It was a chanceless exhibition of orthodox batting by Ramprakash, who calmly set his stall out when he arrived at the crease in the second over of the day after Yorkshire had declared overnight with a first innings lead of 210.
Surrey lost Stewart Walters to Tim Bresnan before a run had been scored but then Ramprakash joined Scott Newman (129) in a massive second wicket stand of 259 which killed off Yorkshire's chances of victory.
Ramprakash's century took him 231 minutes and came at 4.12pm off 196 balls with nine fours and a six - and at the close he had marched on to an unbeaten 112 from 227 deliveries, adding another couple of fours.
He became the 25th batsman to register 100 first-class centuries and the first since Graeme Hick in 1998.
Day Three
Yorkshire claimed maximum batting points against Surrey thanks to an unbroken last-wicket stand of 87 between Adil Rashid and Deon Kruis.
The Tykes reached the close on 414-9, giving them a more-than useful lead of 210 over Division One's bottom county heading into the last day.
They had resumed in the morning on 80-0 in reply to Surrey's total of 204 but lost opener Chris Taylor after adding just two runs.
Andrew Gale went on to reach 63 before becoming the second wicket to fall and Jacques Rudolph made 64, but while Yorkshire's top five all made good starts none went on to reach three figures.
It was left to Rashid and the tail to build the home side's advantage and give skipper Darren Gough the chance to declare overnight.
The promising young all-rounder struck eight boundaries in his 148-ball innings that was in stark contrast to the knock that last-man Kruis played late in the day.
Having already claimed career-best figures for the county of 5-47 on day one, the tail-ender showed his talents with the bat, smacking six fours and a six to reach his maiden half-century in the final over.
Day Two
A steady opening partnership between Yorkshire pair Andrew Gale and Chris Taylor was interrupted by the rain as only 50 minutes of play were possible at Headingley on day two.
The left-hand/right-hand combination could only add 30 further runs to their overnight total before torrential rain wiped out the remainder of the day's scheduled play.
The only consolation for Yorkshire was that the stand was the county's highest for the first wicket since May last year when Craig White and Joe Sayers put on 177 together against Worcestershire at Headingley.
Gale began the day on 38 to Taylor's nine and his second boundary of the morning took him to his 50 off 71 balls with eight fours.
Chris Jordan joined the attack in deteriorating light at 78-0 loss and he should have dismissed Gale for 53 but the left-hander's edge to Matt Nicholson at first slip was put down.
Only two further deliveries were possible before the players came off for bad light which was quickly followed by prolonged heavy rain that soon flooded the outfield.
Day One
Pace bowler Deon Kruis recorded his best Yorkshire figures in the Division One relegation battle with bottom club Surrey.
Surrey, who batted first having won the toss after the morning session had been wiped out by bad weather, were dismissed for 204 and they only secured a batting point through some robust hitting by the last-wicket pair of Saqlain Mushtaq and Pedro Collins, who added 37 together.
Kruis, 34, is probably in his last season with Yorkshire and the South African Kolpak player's five-wicket haul was his first for two years, as he finished with five for 47. His previous best figures were five for 59 against Northamptonshire at Headingley in 2005.
Yorkshire, desperately short of runs from their openers, used their 10th different combination in their last 14 championship matches in Andrew Gale and Chris Taylor, and the pair responded with an unbroken 50 - their side's best first-wicket stand since June of last year.
Gale was the more forceful of the two, striking Jade Dernbach for consecutive boundaries on either side of the wicket, the left-hander ending the day on 38 to Taylor's nine.

A farmer has $100.he has to buy 100 farm animals.He has to spend exactly $100 and get exactly 100 farm animals. Whats a solution for this problem
not enough information.
How many different animals, how much do those animals cost?
Look at this post, you question is very similar.
From the information you've given, the only thing i can come up with is that the animals cost one dollar each since it's 100 dollars for 100 animals
As stated, your problem does not provide sufficient information.
Consider one of the typical ways this type of problem is stated:
You have $100 dollars and you need to buy exactly 100 animals. Each chicken cost .50 cents, each pig cost $3.00 and each cow cost $10.00. How many of each animal can you buy. Remember you have $100 and need exactly 100 animals.
This is one of the oldest of this type of problem. I will show you three ways to derive the solution, two by simple observation or logic and the other the analytical method. The other stipulation that must be made with the problem is that he bought at least one of everything. I'll give it to you in terms of x, y, and z items.
Restating, you are to buy three items, say x, y, and z (all integers) and the sum of these items is 100. You have $100 to spend on the three items with their individual costs being $10.00, $3.00, or $.50, respectively. You are to buy at least one of each item.
With all of this information, you can derive the following relationships:
(1)--x + y + z = 100 (1)
(2)--10x + 3y + .5z = 100 (2)
By Observation
3---Multiplying (1) by .5 yields .5x + .5y + .5z = 50 (3)
4---Subtracting (3) from (2) yields 9.5x + 2.5y = 50 (4)
5---Dividing (4) through by 2.5 yields 3.8x + y = 20 (5)
6---By observation, the only value of x that will make 3.8x an integer is 5
7---Therefore 3.8(5) + y = 20 making y = 1
8---Thus, z = 94.
Check: 5 + 1 + 94 = 100 and 10(5) + 3(1) + .5(94) = 50 + 3 + 47 = 100. Okay.
By Observation
Another way of viewing it is to say that the average cost of each item is $1.00. Each x's cost differs from the average by +$9.00, each y's cost by + $2.00, and each z's cost by - $.50. Therefore, for each x he must buy 18 z's and for each y he must buy 4 z's. Thus, since 5(1 + 18) + (1 + 4) = 100, he must buy 5 x's, 1 y, and 94 z's.
Analytical method
(3)---Multiplying (2) by 2 yields 19x + 5y = 100 (3)
(4)---Dividing (3) through by 5 yields 3x + 4x/5 + y = 20 (4)
(5)---Rearranging, 4x/5 = 20 - 3x - y
(6)---By definition, 4x/5 must be an integer but we want a unit coefficient for x.
(7)---Multilply 4x/5 by 4 and divide by 5 again yielding 16x/5 = 3x + x/5.
(8)---x/5 must also be an integer so let x/5 = k making x = 5k
(9)---Substituting back into (3) we get 95k + 5y = 100 or y = 20 - 19k
(10)---In order to have at least one of each, clearly k can only be 1 making
(11)---k 0 1 2
x 0 5 10
y 1 1 neg neg = negative
z 99 94 neg
(12)---Therefore the only valid solution is x = 5, y = 1, and x = 94.
If you are truly interested in the historical and/or further aspects of recreational mathematics, I strongly reccommend you send for the Dover Publications catalog of Math and Science books. They publish one of the widest varieties of math books I have run across, many of them, reprints of classics in the field. Their address is 31 East 2nd Street, Mineola, NY 11501, Tel. No. 516-294-7000. The linear indeterminate problem methodology is best described in the book titled, Number Theory and Its History by Oystein Ore.
There might very well be many other books available in your school, or local, library or through your teachers. These, will probably be able to give you additional information on the specific methods for solving Linear Diophantine problems. If you are interested in exploring other problems of this type, with 2, 3, and 4 unknowns, I offer you some problems below to pursue on your own. Some of them were used in the examples above. I would first advise you to get some references from Dover or your library and learn the procedure unless you have been able to learn it from the above examples. The methods allow you to solve many problems that, at first glance, appear unsolvable.

Braising is simpler than you might think. It's just a matter of cooking food, usually meat, for a long period at a low temperature and submerged in some kind of liquid. Pot roasts are a good example.
Beef stews are another great example. A long, slow simmer is used to break down and tenderize cuts of meat that otherwise would be tough and unappealing. And this is true for all manner of meats. Goat and lamb, especially the shanks, frequently are braised to produce succulently tender meals.
Of course, braising doesn't have to be limited to meat. Vegetables also can be braised. Fibrous vegetables (such as fennel or winter greens) and root vegetables (such as parsnips and carrots) take particularly well to braising. The technique is done the same as for meat, though vegetables don't take as long to braise.
Braising can be done over a low heat on the stove, or at moderate heat in the oven. Usually the pot remains covered for the majority of the cooking.
For our braising recipe, we opted for short ribs. Short ribs are the perfect cut of meat to be braised. They have quite a bit of marbling and can be tough if not properly cooked. You can get short ribs off the bone, but for the best flavor, opt for on-the-bone.
Balsamic Braised Short Ribs
Start to finish: 2 1/2 hours (30 minutes active)
Servings: 6
1 tbsp.vegetable or canola oil
6 bone-in short ribs (about 3 pounds)
2 leeks, white parts only, sliced
2 medium yellow onions, sliced
2 carrots, peeled and cut into 1-inch pieces
2 stalks celery, cut into 1-inch pieces
2 cloves garlic, chopped
1/2 tsp. red pepper flakes
1 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. ground black pepper
2 tbsp. tomato paste
1 tbsp. Dijon mustard
3 sprigs fresh rosemary
1/2 cup balsamic vinegar
1/4 cup packed brown sugar
1 quart unsalted beef stock
In a large, heavy-bottomed pot such as a Dutch oven, heat the oil over medium. Working in batches so as not to crowd the pan, sear the short ribs for 3 to 4 minutes on each side, or until well browned. Transfer the short ribs to a plate.
Add the leeks, onions, carrots, celery and garlic to the pot and cook until well browned, stirring occasionally, about 12 to 15 minutes. Add the red pepper flakes, salt, pepper and tomato paste, then cook until the tomato paste turns a brick reddish-brown color, about 6 to 7 minutes.
Add the Dijon mustard, rosemary sprigs, balsamic vinegar and brown sugar. Scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the pot. Return the short ribs to the pot, then add the beef stock. Bring the mixture up to a low simmer and cover.
The pot can be left on the stovetop on low heat or placed in a 325 F oven for 1 1/2 to 2 hours, or until the short ribs are very tender when pierced with a fork.
Carefully transfer the meat to a platter. Cover with foil and a couple kitchen towels to keep warm. Using a slotted spoon, remove and discard the solids from the liquid. Bring the liquid to a boil on the stovetop and cook until reduced to 1 cup. Drizzle the glaze over the short ribs and serve.
