Simplify Your Diet Plan | Fat Cat to Purr-fect | Can't Lose Weight | 10 Dieting Mistakes | Overweight & Still Beautiful Mushrooms for Weight Loss & Good Health - Isn't Dieting Fungi?Written by Diet Bites Put a little magic into your weight loss plan with delicious mushrooms, a super food. Mushroom Super Powers and Superstitions: Mushrooms range from delicious to deadly. There have been occasions when toxic mushrooms have caused death by 'a mere touch to the mushroom, then a mere touch to the lips'.
Mushrooms & Weight Loss Powers: Mushrooms are naturally low in calories and contain virtually zero fat. One cup of most varieties of mushrooms contain 45 calories or less. Mushrooms also have the power to absorb the flavors of foods around them. Mushrooms, Meaty Bites Mushrooms have a 'meaty bite' to them and work well as a substitute for animal proteins - although insufficient in protein grams (about 1.7 grams per serving) when compared to most cuts of meat. Weight Loss Tips & Mushroom Recipes Another great Mushroom Plus is that they can help carve carbohydrates. On your next burger, substitute a couple of portabello mushroom caps for the buns and save calories while adding extra-meaty flavor. Or, try sautéing sliced mushrooms in non-stick, butter flavored cooking spray with a side of sauteed onions. Add a little sea salt, a little cracked pepper and a dash of your favorite fresh or dried spice. Creamy Chicken Noodle & Mushrooms, a diet friendly lower calorie recipe: You'll need the following ingredients for this recipe: 1 cup of boned, skinless and cubed raw chicken breast cut into cubes or bite-sized chunks; 1/2 cup of chopped onions, 1 cup of any variety of sliced mushrooms, 1/2 cup of light sour cream (40 calories per serving), 1/4 cup of reduced fat milk, 1 chicken bouillon cube, 1 teaspoon of dried parsley and 2 cups of cooked egg noodles. Also - salt and pepper as desired. You will also need a bit of extra virgin olive oil or cooking spray for sautéing the vegetables at the beginning of the recipe.
The dried parsley and bouillon cube are totally optional. Also, if you can't tolerate light sour cream, then by all means opt for the regular for 20 calories per serving (1 Tablespoon). You can use any variety of mushrooms and any variety of onions. You can also add chopped celery and chopped bell pepper (again, any variety) to this dish to take flavors to yet another level. Start by cooking the noodles in a deep pot. Once the water starts to boil, add the bouillon cube, then the noodles. This will give the noodles a rich, chickeny flavor. In a deep non-stick pan on the stove top, saute the chopped onions, sliced mushrooms - as well as the celery and bell peppers if you chose to use these in the recipe using a bit of extra virgin olive oil or the cooking spray. Cook until the onions look clear. Add the chicken and turn to coat in the juices and oils from the vegetables. Allow chicken to cook until golden and thoroughly done through and through. Add the parsley; stir. Then add the cooked drained egg noodles. Quickly add the skim milk and light sour cream. Stir to incorporate. Salt and pepper to suit your personal taste. Sprinkle with ground paprika if desired. This recipe makes three very generous servings for about 225 calories each. For an additional twist on the recipe, add a few lean 'real' bacon bits (the Hormel brand is delicious and very low in calories). Weight Loss & Nutritional Notes for Mushrooms: Some types of mushrooms may boost immunity. One of the drawbacks of some types of mushrooms is that some are expensive, particularly the uncommon mushroom varieties. Types of Mushrooms: Portabello, Morel, Button, Oyster, Skullcap, Witch's Butter

The major indices posted healthy gains on Wednesday, but on mixed volume. Stocks gapped up at the open and consolidated at the highs for the remainder of the day. All five indices closed at their highest level since the market rally began in early 2009. The S&P 500 led the advance by posting a 0.9% gain on the session. Following closely, the small-cap Russell 2000 and the Nasdaq both finished the day 0.8% higher. The Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 0.7% while the S&P MidCap 400 posted a 0.6% advance.
Turnover finished mixed for the second consecutive day. Volume on the NYSE increased by 2.7%, while the Nasdaq saw volume decline by 1.3% in yesterday's session. Even though trade was somewhat muted, advancing volume outpaced declining volume on both indices. The advancing to declining volume ratio ended the session at 4.7 to 1 on the NYSE and 3.5 to 1 on the Nasdaq. Stocks continue to rally in the absence of serious volume.

IEV hit its stop yesterday and we exited the trade. We are removing THD from the watchlist as we have found it difficult to borrow shares. All other positions remain intact. PHO and PBW have been performing particularly well. PBW finished the day up 1.6% while PHO posted a 1.9% gain.
The iShares MSCI Chile Investable Market ETF (ECH) could provide a shorting opportunity with a rally back to the declining 20-day EMA. Prior to yesterday, ECH was under heavy selling pressure for six consecutive sessions. This selloff shattered a seven month trend line in this ETF. ECH found support just below the 20-week EMA (see weekly chart). Note that the horizontal resistance line found on the weekly chart corresponds almost exactly with the 20-day EMA. We will continue to monitor ECH as a possible short candidate.
[Related -QUALCOMM, Inc. (NASDAQ:QCOM): Becoming A Core Holding?]
The iShares MSCI All Peru Capped Index ETF (EPU) recently broke its trend line and lost support of the 20-day EMA and the 50-day MA amidst substantial volume. A rally back into resistance at these key moving averages, or a drop below the January 10th low of $46.85, may present an opportunity to short EPU.
Due to the recent whipsaw price action and accompanying gaps, we are inclined to wait for new setups to form rather than chase the market. We are wary that breakouts may not follow through because of light volume in the broad market.

Need help to understand how div tags work
Likes # 0
Posted June 6, 2012 at 9:23PM
Hi everyone,
I have been following a simple tutorial that uses a template and I have learnt a few things about web design from that.
The problem I am having is that I cannot get div tags and images to behave in the way that I want them to. The tutorial is great for showing me other basics but I feel like I really need someone to explain to me in really simple terms how div tags work and how I can get everything to behave in the way that I want it to.
From what I can tell the core template of a website is just there to hold images and text. As long as I don't change the template I am able to insert images and text with no problems. This is the template I have used so far: http://i479.photobucket.com/albums/rr154/ianhudson2/sitetemplateprintscreen.jpg
However, I want my website to have a template basically like this: http://i479.photobucket.com/albums/rr154/ianhudson2/Whatiwantmysitetolooklikerough.jpg When I go to change the template I cannot get anything to work in the way I could before and I am really struggling to work out simple thins. I think what I need most is someone to simply explain step by step how to make my template and explain why everything behaves the way it does.
If anyone could offer any help with this it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Yeah I think you are right, I will have to build the layout all myself. That answers half my question.
As far as I know Adobe Dreamweaver is my best bet for building the layout myself. However, I think I need someone experienced with Dreamweaver to help me through the process of building my layout step by step.

Funding for the DAH program comes predominantly from the San Francisco General Fund. Other funding sources include:
DAH also generates revenue from tenant rent. All DAH tenants pay a portion (usually 50%) of their monthly income toward rent; the portion they pay depends on the funding restrictions associated with the DAH site in which they live.
SFDPH-HUH estimates that it costs approximately $1,500 per resident per month to fund the DAH program. The average rent received from each resident is approximately $350 per month; DAH subsidizes the remaining $1,150 from the government sources noted above.

Luigi Nono (1924-1990) is ranked among the most remarkable composers of the 20th century in all phases of his career. He managed to give his serial compositional method an exceptional strength of expression; his compositional message was influenced by his fight against oppression. He participated in the anti-fascist resistance movement during World War II and later worked as a lawyer at the Central Committee of the Communist Party in Italy.
The majority of his compositions have political elements. For example, the cantata Il canto sospeso is based on the texts of letters from guerilla fighters sentenced to death, the opera Intoleranza deals with social injustice, and the opera Al gran sole carico d'amore focuses on the Commune of Paris. La fabbrica illuminata is about the awful working conditions in factories.
However, Nono never associated his work with "socialist realism;" instead, he connected political themes with avant-garde music and highly poetic forms. His compositions were always characterized by a great sonic imagination; he fought against the schematic character of music for his whole life. He wanted "different thoughts, different sounds, [and] different ideas."
Nono's later work (after 1980) appears to rebel against the tense dramatic nature of earlier compositions. New, meditative elements appear, and the music "purges itself" in a special way: it gains a utopian, visionary character, focusing more on the eloquence of the sound itself.

After discussion with Martin on managing requests to maintain current hispital site and on Judy on the status of the new Cascade site, met with Judy and DR to work out a plan. DR will limit requests to upgrade current site to minimum. Judy will copy and paste content from existing site into Cascade structure (which we've already built), for Dan to edit, and will note where content is missing or duplicated. DR will then provide missing content and resolve duplications (as needed). Judy and DR to sort out exactly who will do what kind of edits.
Judy migrated the biggest section (undergraduate) for DR to review while Judy is away the last two weeks of the calendar year.
I helped her with rewriting some of the relative links (some of which were relative to pwd and some of which were relative to root of site - neither of which of course were any good in the new environment). Also had to rewrite relative links to old exams, exercises etc. as absolute links as the new site will not be on the save server as the collection of exams, exercises, etc.
Reorganized the items and subitems (renaming, shuffling of order) in the nav system on the dept site. Notoriously tricky to do because of the interactions between the css for the shields and the javascript array that contains the information used to generate the cells containing the shields.
Whole thing is brittle: the last main item must not contain any subitems or the whole thing fails. If you add a seventh shield to the home page, it's almost impossible to get the right-most one to not be cropped.
Also there is a duplicate js structure for the navigation for all other pages on the site, so had to modify that.
Finally, for those subitems I put in new main menus, I had to edit the link to the image in the html for those pages.
University has a new online setup for accepting donations to specific depts, projects:
user has to:
go to https://extrweb.uvic.ca/page.aspx?pid=466
click on Other in the Designation field
enter the name of the dept, project, scholarship in the text box that appears.
complete form
Implemented this on the medi site.
The page http://web.uvic.ca/calendar2012/CDs/ENGL/CTs.html declares itself as html 4.01 transitional and is not well-formed XML. I opened it as a plain XML file in Oxygen:
- bunch of self-closing elements which don't have a close tag or "/>",
- bunch of upper-case element and attribute names
- couple of missing li elements to contain nested lists.
So, we'd have to do maybe a dozen regexp string manipulations to take the raw file and turn it into well-formed XML source, but those same regexps could probably be used to create output XML instead.
The page http://web.uvic.ca/calendar2012/CDs/ENGL/101.html also declares itself as html 4.01 transitional and is even further from well-formed XML. We need only a pretty small and simple snippet from the page which, so again we'd probably have to take that in as text. The regexps to turn it into a usable XML source would be more, and more complex, than the regexps to create the desired output XML
The page https://www.uvic.ca/BAN2P/bwckctlg.p_disp_listcrse?term_in=201301&subj_in=ENGL&crse_in=101&schd_in= also declares itself as html 4.01 transitional. It's a long way from XML, too, so again I figure we'll likely be treating this as text rather than an xml structure.
Pattern is pretty clear. Right now, it looks like we should take in the files as text rather then xml, and run regexps to generate the output XML we want. I don't think it's viable to take in the calendar files as XML, and I don't see sufficient value in taking the raw html as text and using regexps to render an XML (or XHTML) version of the input structure and then doing XSLT on that XML to generate the output XML
It looks like the English dept widget is doing something like what our code for the Philosophy site does, only more ambitious. Namely, they {
- go to http://web.uvic.ca/calendar/CDs/DEPT/CTs.html where DEPT is the four letter department code, e.g. ENGL
- create a list of all the courses offered from that page
- for each item in that list (where XXX is the course number, e.g. 101) {
- - go to http://web.uvic.ca/calendar/CDs/DEPT/XXX.html
- - get the course description, credit units and hours
- - ask banner for offerings in each of summer, where YYYYMM is the year and month of the start of the term, e.g. 201205, 201209, 201301)
- - for each offering {
- - - get CRN, section, instructor, time and place of offering
I don't know if they're doing a bunch of regexp string processing or some actual XML parsing. The stuff they're working from is pretty ugly, but it is machine generated, so presumably consistent for parsing.
Here's a snippet from the file http://web.uvic.ca/calendar/CDs/ENGL/CTs.html showing the entry for ENGL 101 which would be used to add an item for 101 to the list of courses offered by the department:

100-level courses

101 Fundamentals of Academic Literacy
And here's a snippet from the file http://web.uvic.ca/calendar2012/CDs/ENGL/101.html that would be used to get the course description, title, units and hours for ENGL 101 (the units and hours would have to be done by string rather than node processing):

ENGL 101

Fundamentals of Academic Literacy

Units: 1.5, Hours: 3-0

Introduction to the reading and writing skills needed to meet the expectations of university-level academic study. Emphasis is on building proficiency in academic reading and writing through extensive practice. Suitable for students who need to strengthen their reading and writing skills before attempting a course that meets the Academic Writing Requirement.

Notes: - Restricted to students who have not satisfied the Academic Writing Requirement.

- This course does not satisfy the Academic Writing Requirement.

There are two snippets used to get the details of the course offering. First, the snippet from the file https://www.uvic.ca/BAN2P/bwckctlg.p_disp_listcrse?term_in=201209&subj_in=ENGL&crse_in=101&schd_in= that would be used to provide all the details of the course offering except the number of seats available:

Wood Used by Fender
Is it aged? Or how do they dry it out and how long does it take? Does it need to be dried out?

the "normal" run is with kiln dried lumber, the industry standard.... I have never heard anyone suggesting it is "aged". Even if it was, the wood doesn't "gain" anything by aging until it's been doing so for a few decades at the very least.
The do make some from very old lumber and are advertised as such. If aged lumber were the norm, it would be promoted as such. ... it's that bigga deal. Ron kirn

Even when you put in a wood floor the lumber is kiln dried and up north here the folooring folks bring the lumber into your space to aclimate it to your rooms, or at least the good flooring folks do.

Mostly. In most places, wood shrinks in winter and expands in summer. I try hard, in making flattops and archtops, to finish assembling the bodies by May. They're less likely to crack the following winter if they're put together while they're still a little bit "shrunken."

And fret sprout and other problems are usually much worse in areas that have warm humid summers, and cold, dry winters....like the Midwest! Acoustic guitars built from solid woods are much more prone to problems with cracking and shrinking, but even solid bodied electrics can benefit from a room humidifier during the coldest/driest winter months. |

Nothing we could do for any of those customers. Climate control is the customer's responsibility, not the maker's. Quote:
OP: Fender's wood is dried but, unless salvaged (the hundred-year old pine) is not aged. They simply can't afford to keep that much wood on hand. |

Quartersawn does move in a different direction (vertically as oppsoed to horizontally) and does move by a different amount (much less expressed as a percentage of the thickness) - so it has everything to do with how much fret is exposed when the wood moves. |

Fret sprout on a MIM Tele is normal, they are just growin' a mustache. I have personally only seen one MIM Tele that didn't suffer from fret sprout, probably too young to grow a mustache.

Oh well. I had serious fret sprout on a 15 yrs old quarter sawn neck during the norwegian winter 2010/2011 (as cold and dry as a large building with the sign: 'Cold/Dry' on top of it)
No sprout at all on two flatsawn necks about 8 yrs old each. Oh, and for what it's worth, all three of'em is finished by myself with oil/beeswax, all three have rw fretboard. Mother nature (or common sense) is a b*tch, aint she?

I always find it funny that every type of woodworking (outside of building guitars) uses the same golden rules with good results while "guitar builders" pay no attention to the rules and then discuss fret sprout and look for the mystic cause. |

Empirical data collected over 100's of years (not just my opinion or 35+ years of experience) show that a true flat sawn neck will move predominately across the width of the fretboard while a quartered neck will move predominately within it's thickness - you don't need to be a rocket scientist to see then that a flat sawn neck will in general show more fret sprout than a quartersawn neck - but last time I mentioned this here the response was not too great...looks similar this time, suppose I should have learned but I just can't help responding when I'm called out by someone who apparently still has a ways to go in the learning department... |

I'm not arguing, I just wanted to post an experience which may explain why there's a certain unwillingness to accept Golden Rules as the only truth, especially regarding wood. So is Human nature.
And yes, I know what I'm debating. Being a builder/tech on and off since 1992, I have some experience with the 'magic' of wood and the way it's sawn and prepared. As I stated, there's exceptions to the rules, as it were. I'm sure we're really not disagreeing.

The Penalty Flag:
The Kansas City Chiefs had a 2-14 record in 2012 and now they look forward to the 1st pick in the 2013 NFL draft. However with the 1st pick comes added pressure because you can't mess it up. Missing on the top pick sets your franchise back for years. Just look at what Jamarcus Russell has caused. Andy Reid has to make the right decision with this pick, and I believe the Chiefs will replace Matt Cassel, Brady Quinn, Ricky Stanzi and select Geno Smith... Read more

They already tried the backup at New England, it was a disaster.
How do you know it wasn't engineered to make him look bad to keep other teams from showing interest? I don't trust anyone anymore. He was a terrific college quarterback in the SEC. In fact, he was a better college QB than Smith was this year in my opinion.

Alternate Seat of Government
Town/Village of Castile, New York
Due to the fire within the Town/Village of Castile on October 2, 2012, it has been necessary to relocate the Town/Village of Castile Government offices to an "Alternate Seat of Government" at the Bank of Castile, 50 North Main Street, Castile, NY14427. All Town/Village Board Meetings and The Town Justice Court will be held at the Castile Fire Department located at 37 North Main Street, Castile, NY 14427. The Alternate Seat of Government was established by Supervisor Stephen Tarbell and Mayor Keith Granger on 10/2/2012 in response to the complete loss caused to the Town/Village offices. The Bank of Castile and the Castile Fire Department will function as the Alternate Seat of Government until such time as the original seat of government can be fully restored and made available for safe use.
The Supervisor and Mayor have taken this extraordinary action in accordance with The State of Emergency Declaration for the Town/Village of Castile Government which have convened at the Alternate Seat of Government to continue their respective functions. Every attempt is being made to reduce the impacts of this temporary relocation on critical services with the Town/Village residents. Although the location of the Town/Village of Castile Government has temporarily changed, it will still continue to function as required by law. Please be advised at this time that the public will not be allowed entrance to the original Seat of Government located at 51-53 North Main Street, Castile, NY 14427. Your cooperation, patience and understanding are appreciated during this difficult period as we work as quickly as possible to restore the Town/Village's legally and Constitutionally-mandated functions. For further information, call 585-493-2440 or visit the individual department and agency web pages found on this web site.

Read More: A B.A. in Three Years?
With the recent layoffs, a stagnant economy, and student loans continuing to wreak havoc among many students who graduate college, an idea like this makes absolute sense.
It amazes me how politicians left and right from President Obama to Rick Perry have been trying to find solutions to these education problems, but never seem to consider a seemingly simple, but obvious way to cut college costs.
It may seem outrageous to some, especially those who are already working in an education related field, but the amount of time a student spends in college should be cut by a year. With publications such as The New York Times reporting of the extremely dismal unemployment rates for law school graduates and the number of law office jobs that have been on the decline since as early as 2004, students who don't end up finding employment are having to deal with debts as high as $1200 a month, or $98,500 in student loan debt total when they graduate from what seems to be law school degree mills.
The amount of time in which American students and British students complete their degree programs differs by around a year. This paragraph explains in more detail.
Mead's observation is fair enough. But there are important differences between the British and American models that make them hard to compare. British students do take their undergraduate degrees in just three years. But they commit before beginning classes to a particular field, which dominates their work at university. British students, in other words, don't apply to a selective university with a record of general academic ability, and then choose a major after a few years of exploration. Rather, they apply to enter a specific course—say, English—on the basis of success on content-based exams (GCE Adanced, a.ka. "A level").
Already, this is sounding like a far more sensible system than the one being used currently in the U.S. The reason that British students are also able to complete their degrees in just three years is due to the fact that they have already shown a mastery of the introductory material and skills. It kind of reminds me of those Advanced Placement courses that one can take depending on which high school the student attends. The fee to take an AP test is $89 according to College Board, the not-for-profit organization that developed the common entrance exam or the SAT test and the PSAT. They are also responsible for the Advanced Placement Program and the examinations that students take in order to receive college credit, depending on what score (ranging from 1-5) that they make on the AP test. Scoring a 3 means that the student is qualified. It is the minimum score required by many colleges in order to receive college credit.
The British system ensures that students don't have to worry about trying to be successful in every subject and allows them to be more focused on specific disciplines or subject areas. There is also much less emphasis on "trying to find one's self" or studying abroad. It is strictly business within the British system and not as much wasteful filler. Goldman ends with this paragraph.
But a three-year plan also involves an entirely different institutional context for admissions. That doesn't only mean selection by members of a particular faculty rather than an independent admissions office. It also requires exams that measure achievement in specific subjects, and high schools capable of preparing students for these exams. In short, degrees that allow student to accomplish in three years what now takes four is appealing goal. But it can't be realized by just chopping a year out of their time in college.
Whether certain colleges would be willing to changing their admissions process to reflect this would be another story.

Chocolate Cake With Buttercream Icing
Chocolate Cake with Buttercream Icing Recipe
My sister-in-law makes a chocolate cake that is just divine. It gets its dark richness from freshly brewed coffee and is perfectly balanced with luscious buttercream icing. The cake is super moist and the buttercream is marvelous.
Served cold, it is extraordinary. The chocolate cake and buttercream icing are sweet — without being exceedingly sweet. The butter adds the slightest hint of saltiness to the icing and is a wonderful complement to the cake.
Allow plenty of time to prepare this cake and buttercream icing. The cake must be completely cool before frosting it. Also, preparing the icing is a two-step process involving refrigeration. Because of the butter in the buttercream, you really can't rush this recipe. The extra time is well worth it and we think you will be delighted with your results!

Chocolate Cake
Buttercream Icing
Preheat oven to 350°.
Grease two 8″ round cake pans or one 9″x13″ rectangular cake pan with butter. Line the buttered pan(s) with parchment paper and then grease and flour the pans.
For the cake, sift together the flour, sugar, cocoa, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Mix on low speed until combined with an electric mixer fitted with a paddle attachment.
In another bowl, combine the buttermilk, oil, eggs, and vanilla. With the mixer on low speed, slowly add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients. While the mixer is still on slow speed, add the hot coffee and stir just until combined.
Pour batter into baking pans and bake for 35 to 40 minutes (until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean). Cool in the pan(s) for 30 minutes and then invert over a rack to cool.
To make the buttercream icing, add the evaporated milk, whole milk, and flour to a small saucepan. Bring to a boil, whisking constantly and cook for one minuted or until thickened. Remove from heat and refrigerate until cooled completely.
Beat together the butter and shortening with an electric mixer. Add the granulated sugar and beat until creamy. Add the vanilla and cooled milk mixture and blend until well combined.
After the cake is completely cool, decorate with the buttercream icing. Refrigerate until serving. Enjoy!

Lithuanian Kugelis, The Ultimate Comfort Food
Lithuanian Kugelis (Bulvių Plokštainis/Potato Cake)
Mention comfort food and Lithuanian kugelis immediately pops into my mind. Like baked macaroni and cheese is the ultimate comfort food for so many people, this is my ultimate comfort food. Try it once and you just might feel the same way. In Lithuania, kugelis is widely popular — appearing in home kitchens and on menus everywhere.
My family has been serving kugelis for decades (likely, centuries) and over the years, we experimented with our recipe. My grandmother's generation and those before her grated the potatoes and onion by hand. We used to grate everything manually, too, but discovered that a blender accomplishes the same results. Purists probably would disagree with us, but we are pleased with our results.
On the other hand, we studied two other elements of our recipe and after experimentation, decided that they should not be compromised. We tried to make a reduced fat version of kugelis by experimenting with the bacon drippings. Kugelis made without bacon drippings or with less than ¼ cup of them simply is not the same, in our opinion.
Similarly, we conducted our own blind taste test for potato varieties and discovered that potato variety also has a significant impact on kugelis. Red skinned potatoes are by far the best in terms of flavor and texture. Yukon gold are also very good. White, russet, and Idaho potatoes are not good choices for kugelis, in our opinion.
With cooler autumn days ahead, we hope you try our Lithuania kugelis recipe to warm your family!
From the Kitchen of
Emilija Gvazdaitytė Naujalienė, 1886 – 1966
- 5 lbs red potatoes
- 1 lb bacon, partially frozen
- 1 large yellow onion, diced
- ½ cup milk
- 1 egg
- 1 TBS flour
- 1 tsp seasoned salt
- ½ tsp ground pepper
- Sour cream for garnish
Serves 4 – 6 persons as a main course.
Preheat oven to 425°.
Slice the frozen bacon into small ½" pieces. Fry it until very crispy and set this pan of bacon and drippings aside. Do not discard the drippings.
When served, kugelis should be golden brown. To achieve this golden color, work quickly with the potatoes and keep them immersed in cold water. If your raw potatoes are exposed to too much air before baking, your kugelis may turn gray. It will taste fine, but will not look as appealing. Also, processing the onion first and adding the potatoes to the puréed onion helps to prevent the kugelis from graying.
Fill a large bowl halfway with cold water. Peel and rinse the potatoes and then place them in the cold water. Take a few potatoes from the water and roughly dice them. Return them to the cold water. Repeat this process until every potato is diced. Peel and dice the onion.
Remove the bacon from the pan and place it in a large bowl. Reserve the bacon drippings (about ⅜ cup).
Purée the onion in a blender with the milk. Using a slotted spoon or wok skimmer, fill the blender with potatoes and pureé until smooth. Pour this purée over the bacon. Continue puréeing all of the potatoes in the blender using the egg as the liquid for one batch and bacon drippings as the liquid for the other batch.
Stir the mixture in the bowl each time you add purée to it. Sprinkle the seasoned salt, ground pepper, and flour over the purée and stir again.
Pour the potato mixture into a 9″ x 13″ baking pan. Bake at 425° for 1 hour and 5 minutes. The kugelis is ready to serve when the top is golden brown when it starts pulling away from the sides of the baking pan.
Slice into squares and serve Lithuanian kugelis hot with a dollop of thick sour cream. Gero apetito!

Wet Bottom Shoo-Fly Pie
Pennsylvania Dutch Wet Bottom Shoo-Fly Pie Recipe
Since 1683, the Pennsylvania Dutch have been serving hearty old-country cuisine to their friends and family in Pennsylvania. Their simple, wholesome recipes were passed down through the generations and still appear on tables today.
Chicken pot pie, rivel soup, dandelion with hot bacon dressing, pork and sauerkraut, corn and oyster pie, wiener schnitzel, and potato filling are just a few of these classic recipes.
Pie was a staple in the early Pennsylvania Dutch diet and customarily, it was served with breakfast, lunch, and dinner. No matter what day of the week or season it was, every kitchen had a pie or two in its cupboard.
When friends stopped to visit, they could count on their host serving an appetizer of cheese and ring bologna followed by a dessert of fresh pie and coffee.
The most popular Pennyslvania Dutch pies were fruit and custard pies and also drizzle pies, milk pies, and shoo-fly pies.
This wet bottom shoo-fly pie recipe is our family's trusty favorite. Serve it with coffee and you will understand why!
Wet Bottom Shoo-Fly Pie
From the Kitchen of Jennie Miller Yeisley, 1897 – 1977
Pie Crust
Molasses Mixture
Crumb Mixture
Preheat oven to 350°.
To make the pie crust, sift together the flour and salt. With a pastry blender, blend in the shortening until it is evenly distributed throughout the flour. While mixing the dough with your hands, gradually add the cold water a few tablespoons at a time. Add just enough water to form the dough into a ball. This should be one or two tablespoons short of ¼ cup of water.
Roll the dough between two sheets of waxed paper. Carefully transfer the dough to a pie plate. Trim and flute the edges of the pie crust. Set this pie crust aside until ready for filling.
In a medium bowl, stir the molasses (We use Brer Rabbit "full flavor" molasses with the green and yellow label), water, and baking soda until well blended. It should bubble slightly.
In a separate medium bowl, sift together the flour and sugar. Add the shortening and blend with a pastry blender to form a crumb mixture.
Pour half of the liquid mixture into the unbaked pie crust. Cover the liquid evenly with the crumb mixture. Drizzle the remaining molasses mixture over the crumbs. Bake at 350° for one hour until golden brown and set in the center.
Remove from the oven and allow to cool. Wet bottom shoo-fly pie is served cold or at room temperature.

Chicken Meatballs
Savory Chicken Meatballs
Looking for an alternative to the traditional beef, pork, and veal Italian meatball? These savory chicken meatballs are a healthier alternative and are every bit as satisfying and flavorful.
We serve these meatballs over angel hair pasta with our heirloom tomato sauce. When we are looking for an extra kick, we add chopped serrano peppers or a fresh cayenne pepper to the sauce. Pair this with your favorite full-bodied red wine and this may become one of your favorite dinners!
Chicken Meatballs
- 5 lbs. ground chicken*
4 cups fresh bread crumbs, made with seeded rye bread
3 TBS fresh flat Italian parsley, finely chopped
3 TBS fresh basil, finely chopped
8 cloves garlic, pressed
1 egg
½ tsp salt, ¼ tsp pepper
Yield: 6 ½ dozen meatballs.
Serving suggestion: serve with our heirloom tomato sauce, your favorite pasta, and freshly grated parmesan cheese.
Note: This recipe makes over six dozen meatballs. For a smaller number of guests or to reduce leftover portions, cut this recipe in half.
Preheat oven to 375°. Spray three baking sheets with cooking spray.
Tear up three pieces of seeded rye bread and place them in a blender. Pulse into fresh bread crumbs and continue this process until you have 4 cups of crumbs.
Place the ground chicken in a large bowl. Add the bread crumbs. Wash and finely chop the parsley and basil. Add these herbs to the bowl. Clean 8 cloves of garlic and add them to this mixture. (If you press the cloves above the mixture, you will capture every bit of garlic and garlic juice.)
Add the egg and sprinkle the salt and pepper over the top of
the mixture. Combine the mixture with your hands until all
of the ingredients are evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
Roll the mixture into standard sized meatballs, approximately ¼ cup each. As you roll them, place the meatballs on the greased baking sheets. After all of them are rolled, place them in the oven. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes. The bottom of each meatball will be golden brown.
While the meatballs are baking, simmer the heirloom tomato sauce in a large saucepan over medium heat. Stir in freshly grated parmesan or romano cheese to taste. For arrabbiata sauce, stir in two finely chopped serrano peppers or one cayenne pepper.
Remove the meatballs from the oven and add them directly to the tomato sauce. Gently toss them with the sauce and reduce temperature to low.
Boil the pasta according to its directions and serve immediately with chicken meatballs, heirloom tomato sauce, and freshly grated parmesan cheese.
Buon Appetito!
*Use store-bought ground chicken or make your own with a
KitchenAid Artisan stand mixer and a KitchenAid food
grinder attachment. Simply slice chicken into large strips and drop these strips into the grinder's feed tube.
Since you are grinding your own, you control the blend. Use boneless, skinless chicken breast alone or a mix of
breast and thigh meat.

Manna Project International (MPI) is a volunteer driven 501(c)(3) non-profit organization serving international communities through holistic development. The MPI network is made up of three international sites, twelve university campus chapters, and a growing base of volunteer alumni.
Our international sites are run by 13-month volunteers called Program Directors. Our model is a collaborative community-based approach to development. By working within and alongside communities, our volunteers strive to promote each community's success while simultaneously learning from them. Our approach stresses holistic development, recognizing that the challenges facing these communities are multi-faceted. These challenges must therefore be addressed through a variety of disciplines, as well as a combination of direct service, local leadership, and broader policy change. Between Nicaragua, Ecuador, and Guatemala, our Program Directors run 31 different community programs in the areas of education, health, agriculture, business, and leadership development.
Supplementing our efforts abroad, MPI's university chapters serve communities near their campuses through local programs in addition to promoting our international sites by sending Spring Break trips and 4-week and 8-week summer volunteers.

Financial spread betting in the UK has access to more than 12,000 financial markets, including shares, indices, commodities, currencies and more – even the number of sips of water taken by Chancellor George Osborne during his budget speech. Certain economic indicators have an impact on the markets followed by spread betting. It would be better to use a spread betting demonstration account if you wish to become accustomed to their effects.
The Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) of the Bank of England meets for two days every month. The interest rate set by the MPC is the basis for every other British interest rate, and has a knock-on effect on Sterling, gilts, mortgage rates and more. If the rate set by the MPC differs from market expectations, there can be a large impact on UK markets, and also on European markets, although that would be to a lesser extent.
The Consumer Price Index measures changes in the prices charged for commonly-used goods and services. The Office of National Statistics collects the prices of more than 500 goods and services from about 150 locations throughout the United Kingdom. The components of the index are weighted to take account of the importance of items, so a rise in the cost of petrol would have a larger impact than a rise in the price of bread.
If the Consumer Price Index rises and the Bank of England wishes to restrain inflation, it will raise interest rates, which makes holding Sterling more attractive, causing exchange rates to improve, whereupon a spread bet could make money. The Office of National Statistics releases Consumer Price Index figures at 8:30am around the middle of the month.
The Current Account measures the flow of all goods, services and transfer payments to and from the United Kingdom and is reported by the Office of National Statistics at 08:30am at the close of the final month of a quarter. Persistent deficits in the Current Account can cause Sterling to depreciate in value as this usually means that Sterling is leaving the country. Figures are released some weeks following the period reported, which reduces the impact of the report. The Current Account will forecast long-term changes in exchange rates.
Gross Domestic Product (GDP) is the broadest indicator of economic activity, measuring as it does the total value of goods and services produced within the country. Rising GDP reflects an economy that is improving, which is usually beneficial to Sterling. If it expands too rapidly, however, there can be an inflationary effect. It tends to be well-anticipated, but there can be significant market movement if it differs from expectations.
The Unemployment Rate is released by the Office of National Statistics every quarter around the middle of the month. People are registered as unemployed if they are actively seeking work or have found a job and are waiting to start within the next two weeks. If the Unemployment Rate is low, people have jobs and so there will be more consumer expenditure, which results in economic growth, but can again lead to inflation if it occurs in excess.
Economic indicators constantly affect markets to a greater of lesser extent and should be followed by anyone conducting spread betting.

If there is one director that is a Hit or Miss Director that I actually enjoy, it is Tim Burton. Tim Burton is an incredibly talent director, and while he does tend use some of the same actors in films like Johnny Depp and Helena Bonham Carter, and tends to make movies that are more style over substance, his films tend to at least be enjoyable for me, whether it has such a good style to the point where I genially enjoy it, or…

New York State Cheddar
It's no secret- New Yorkers love cheese. Heck, we've even got a museum dedicated entirely to the cheese of New York State - and this hunk of sharp, grassy goodness, full of the same spunk and sass that defines a native New Yorker, serves as an edible monument to the centuries-long history of Empire State cheese.

Which branch is offering a 0.556821 daily interest rate?
-----Original Message----- From: email@example.com [mailto:firstname.lastname@example.com] On Behalf Of DaDoctor Sent: Tuesday, February 07, 2006 1:18 PM To: firstname.lastname@example.com Subject: SAS handling Exponentials
I am working with exponentials in my SAS code and I keep getting the following error:
NOTE: Invalid argument(s) to the exponential operator "**" at line 6 column 4.
An example of the syntax is as follows: data x; a=.556821; b=10000; w=a**100; x=a**365; y=b**100; z=b**365;
Basically the variable I am working with is a daily interest rate where the value could be 5 -6 positions after the decimal point.
I thought the issue was with (SAS's) inability to handle the floating point decimal value as I have. However I attempted to format the variable "A" to 2.6 and still I can't get pass the error I am getting.
Any suggestions? B

LANDROTH-L Archives
Archiver > LANDROTH > 2006-08 > 1155884687
Subject: note from list manager
Date: Fri, 18 Aug 2006 03:04:47 EDT
Hi all,
The new Rootsweb mailing list system (Mailman) will be going into effect
over the next couple of weeks, staggered alphabetically according to the
following schedule:
Thursday, August 17 - Lists A-C
Monday, August 21 - Lists D-F
Tuesday, August 22 - Lists G-I
Wednesday, August 23 - Lists J-L
Thursday, August 24 - Lists M-O
Monday, August 28 - Lists P-R
Tuesday, August 29 - Lists S-U
Wednesday, August 30 - Lists V-Z
You may check this link for any changes to the timetable:
While the "migration" of our lists to a new server should process
uneventfully for listmembers, there are a few points we need to cover:
1. AOL users, please check your spam folders, and, if you find list mail
held as spam, you will need to be sure to click the *THIS IS NOT SPAM* link
to send the list mail to your current mailbox. This will 'train' the system
to understand that mail from this new server is not spam.
2. If you are subscribed to both L & D mail modes of our list, the new
system is not set up to send both to the same email address. If you want to be
subscribed in both modes (many sub to both -- regular mail mode to read and
delete and digest to file and save), it will be necessary to use another email
address for your digest mail. It is my understanding that if you are subbed
to the list in both mail modes with the same address you will be dropped
from the digest list roster, so if this happens to you, please resub with
another address (Yahoo is a good choice for an alternate addy). This will not
effect those who sub in either of the mail modes exclusively.
3. If you want to post from more then one account, just send me the
addresses of the extra accounts and I will add them to the Accept List. This means
you can *post* from any of those accounts but you will only *receive* the
listmail from the one you originally used to subscribe. This feature is handy
if you want to post from work but would prefer not to receive Rootsweb mail at
your place of business.
4. As a precaution, I've copied our mailing list roster of subscribers
before the change to the new server. In the event you receive an unsub notice,
please contact me at and we'll correct the problem.
Thanks for your patience!
LaRae, listmgr.

The Works of Tacitus. In Four Volumes. To which are prefixed, Political Discourses upon that Author by Thomas Gordon. The Second Edition, corrected. (London: T. Woodward and J. Peele, 1737). Vol. 1.

BUT, amidst all these acts of popularity and beneficence, and this plausible behaviour of Augustus, the root of the evil remained and spread; the bulwarks of Liberty were daily broken down, and having lulled the public asleep, he was sowing his tares. The best of his Government was but the sunshine of Tyranny k . Augustus was become the centre and measure of all things; he was the Senate, Magistracy and Laws; the arms of the Republic he had wrested out of her hands; those who had wielded them for her, he had slain l . The armies of the State were now the armies of Augustus, and every Province where Legions were kept or necessary, he reserved to himself; such as were unarmed he left to the Senate and people; in kindness forsooth to them; for he studied to relieve them from all anxiety and fatigue, and to leave them nothing to do; but would take all the care and trouble to himself. Italy, the original soil of Liberty and Freemen, he utterly disarmed, agreeably to the Maxims of absolute Monarchy. The Roman people and the Roman Senate he had reduced to cyphers and carcasses m . Hence all the submission and duty formerly paid to the free State, were, with her power, transferred to the Emperor, and certain wealth and preferment were the rewards of ready servility and acquiescence n .
This shews that, however he depressed the power of the Senate, he paid great court to particular Senators; and it is too true, that as men generally love themselves better than their Country, they too easily postpone the public interest to their own. o

Previous Verse |
Romans 16:13 |
Next Verse |
Salute Rufus chosen in the Lord, and his mother and mine.
Note 21 at Ro 16:13: According to Strong's Concordance, the name Rufus means "red." The name Rufus is mentioned twice in Scripture (Mr 15:21 and here). It is unclear whether both of these instances refer to the same Rufus. If so, then this Rufus to whom Paul sent greetings in Rome would have been the son of Simon of Cyrene, the man who was compelled to bear the cross of Jesus. Paul also sent greetings to the mother of Rufus (see note 22 at this verse).
Note 22 at Ro 16:13: Paul greeted the mother of Rufus and called her his own mother. It is unclear whether this is figurative or literal. Most commentators suspect this was a figurative statement, as is the case elsewhere in Scripture (Mt 12:49-50, Mr 3:35, Joh 19:27, and 1Ti 5:2).

First of all, I would like to say that I did not buy this phone from Flipkart.com, I bought it early at 14k. I have been using this phone very regularly, and I am very satisfied with this phone. Based on my experience, here are the pros and cons.
1) The IPS screen display, 5.0 inch - 720p - ~294 ppi, is very crisp and very sharp. Everything looks crystal clear. Viewing angles are great too. Screen display is easily readable even under sunlight.
2) The 1.2 GHZ quad-core processor makes the phone run very smoothly. I have not experienced any lag on this phone. As a result of this processor, even HD games run at best quality smoothly. Antutu benchmark rating is in the 12k range, which is lower than the high end quad core phones, like the S3 and One X, but higher than much more expensive phones, like the Note and S2. In the same test, the Grand scores in the 6k region.
3) The screen size, 5.0 inches, might put off some people before buying. I've been using a 3.2 inch phone and 4.0 inch phone before this, yet, I find this 5.0 inch screen is comfortable to use. It's surprisingly light too.
4) People might complain about the quality, but the feel of the plastic is really good, and even though I've accidentally dropped my phone many times, there isn't even a mark on the body. So far, as per experience, the build quality is really very good.
5) The camera flash strength is above expected, and the phone supports HDR image capturing. The 1080p and 720p videos shot with my the phone are of good quality. Yes, this phone also shoots full HD videos (although the description says it shoots only upto 720p) at 1920x1088 resolution, in the right settings. I guess even the people at Micromax don't know the capabilities of their phone :P
6) The touchscreen is perfect, very responsive. Detects upto 5 fingers (not that anyone needs 5 fingers on their screen though).
7) The battery of the phone performs above expectations, I get 8 hours and more when using the phone with Wi-Fi and Dual Sim.
8) Micromax gives the stock Jellybean 4.1.2 with this phone. I prefer this over Samsung's TouchWiz, although that is only a personal opinion. The user interface is clean, easy to use and butter smooth. Google Now, which is only available in Android 4.1 and above, is an awesome feature that beats even Apple's Siri.
10) The phone looks absolutely stunning. It looks like an Galaxy S3 from the front, and a One X from the back.
1) The display's contrast is a bit low, but that could be just my phone. Though, that does not compromise the screen content quality, everything is still crystal clear.
2) The 8 MP primary camera, is of bad quality. It has autofocus and an LED flash, but the 8 MP photos are grainy, and not very clear when zoomed into. It's better 5 MP or 6 MP smartphone cameras, but it's quality is below than most 8 MP smartphone cameras. A friend's Micromax A110 Canvas 2, which too has an 8 MP camera, shoots better and brighter photos.
3) Audio quality isn't good when earphones are connected to it. Only the earphones that come with the packaging give good quality, but these earphones aren't good. Connecting the phone to a speaker system, though, doesn't give any problems. Music quality using a bluetooth headset, too, is clear and perfect. The in-built equalizer in the stock music app really helps too.
A word about the service quality of Micromax, appalling. I haven't had any problems with my phone, but I have experienced their lack of skill and professionalism when I wanted to upgrade my phone to the latest Jellybean. Most service centres didn't know anything about the new update, and one service centre here in Kolkata returned my phone after three days, without updating, and did a factory reset. The phone is an excellent gadget, but the company and the people in the service branch are just bad. Their service is the main reason I would not be buying another Micromax ever.
As this is a phone, I must add that call quality and networking on this phone are absolutely perfect, and I have experienced no issues so far.
The preloaded apps that come with the phone, a cricket game, Micromax store etc., cannot be removed without rooting, but they can be disabled, and they don't seem to take up much space, so it isn't an issue.
Overall, I would recommend that unless you're very brand conscious (in which case, it's your loss), or a heavy gamer who wants all the latest games installed, this would be the most perfect phone released in India for this price. But, only buy if the price is around or below 14k.
This review is based on a personal experience on using this phone, and all opinions are my own, and may vary from person to person.
I hope this review helps you in purchasing a new phone. :)
Please don't give false reviews to people by giving false details.
Mediatek is not a Chinese company but has its headquarters in Taiwan.
Moreover canvas hd uses mediatek's premium mt6589 processor being advertised on mediatek's website.
Recently Sony has announced that it will use mediatek proces
sor for many of its phones.
go type mediatek on Wikipedia.
Micro max IS NOT A CHINESE COMPANY.it is an Indian company and its products are designed developed in India so its not so bad after all.
The sound quality of the speakers are good but its true the headphones are pathetic,but u can always buy good ones.
The built quality of this phone is also very good.After rooting u can use sd card memory also.micro max has announced it will provide updates for its upcoming mobiles.
Yes i will agree that micro max service is bad but i am sure it will improve.the camera is not what was expected but is manageable.Rest i have not heard/experienced of any problems u mentioned.
Please dont write such reviews without using the phone
I have used 2 Micromax mobile in the past and believe me guys the phone were really good for first 3 -4 months but after that the volcano of problems burst out and destroys everything.
After I started getting problem I submitted the phone to authorized service center and guess what, THEY KEPT MY PHONE FOR 6 MONTHS AND AFTER THAT ALSO GIVEN ME A REPLACEMENT OF MUCH LOWER END PHONE THAN I SUBMITTED.
So, now I decided that if my other phone also stops working I will through it in the dustbin instead of submitting to Service center.
So I will suggest if you want to buy a phone to use for only max of 6 months then you can surely go for Micromax and Karbonn phones.
Received this phone from snapdeal. Using it since 15 days.
Excellent display - Watching HD video's is just amazing experience.
Super-fast touch.
Fast processor - played front line commando , speed racer, temple run easily and lote of games.
OS- Excellent. Jelly bean 4.1
Video quality is good -Super HD recording.
Camera is good with flash support.
Solid build quality.Looks quite premium.
Sound quality is average
Low internal memory. Just 1.77 MB
Indoor camera shooting is not that good.
Update After using 3 months:
Not a single issue faced yet.
The phone has fallen dawn through staircase but nothing is damaged.
Also got dropped from hand 2-3 times but no damage. (This proves solid build quality)
I have recommended this phone to many of my friends and they also liked the same.
Before purchasing just get hands on it and you will come to know the quality.
No offense flipkart. You priced it very high. i got this mobile from local shop for 15K and i feel 15K also bit higher.
Now about the product.
i have bought a white color one. Personally i did not like the back panel of the white model because its not glossy like the black model and feel bit cheap.
Secons think i do not like is the color reproduction of the phone. Its HD, Yes but i feel the contrast is set bit high and some colors are washed out.
Third and last think i do not like with the handset is the low light photography. The LED light seems to be not capable of anything. Camera is slightly better than the A110. I own both the sets and personally feel Micromax should have increased the LED light quality of the phone considering they priced it bit high.
If you are okay with the cons then its really a good phone. Micromax bloatwares are taking some decent amount of RAM. Unfortunately till now nobody has tried rooting this phone so that all the bloatwares can be removed.
