In its first flight, the Army's hybrid air vehicle known as the Long Endurance Multi-Intelligence Vehicle, or LEMV, stayed aloft over Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst, NJ, for more than 90 minutes on August 7. The LEMV, like a blimp, is capable of carrying multiple intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance payloads for more than 21 days at altitudes greater than 22,000 feet. The U.S. Army Space and Missile Defense Command/Army Forces Strategic Command conducted the first flight test of vehicle.
"Murphy Bays" on the LEMV can carry just about any kind of sensor or equipment, and design specifications for the LEMV require the vehicle to provide up to 16 kilowatts of electrical power for those payloads. The LEMV is intended to be used to conduct long-term Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance, or ISR, and persistent stare-type missions, and can also be used as a communications relay. The primary objective of the first flight was to perform a safe launch and recovery of the LEMV. A secondary goal was to verify the flight control system operation. Additional objectives included airworthiness testing and demonstration, as well as system-level performance verification. All objectives were met during the first flight. The football field-sized LEMV can operate at altitudes greater than 22,000 feet above mean sea level, has a 2,000 mile radius of action, can carry a 2,750 pound ISR payload for more than 21 days, and boasts a fuel consumption that is more than 10 times less than comparable capabilities. Design requirements for the LEMV include providing up to 16 kilowatts of electrical power for payload, as well as runway independence. The LEMV is designed to be a recoverable and reusable multi-mission platform. It can be forward located to support extended geostationary operations from austere locations and capable of beyond-line-of-sight command and control. During this first flight, the LEMV was manned, though the air vehicle can also operate unmanned. Following a planned and detailed inspection of the vehicle, there will be additional manned flights.

Becoming one is quick and painless, unlike childbirth.
by Amy Clark

It would be wonderful if I could honestly tell you that I had not fallen victim to a work at home scam myself, but that would be untrue. When I was very desperate to find a job where I could make money from home I lost money in a couple of different work at home schemes which caused us both a small financial loss as well as being a disappointment that rather than making money for our family, I was losing money.
There is a variety of work at home scams that are listed on papers, sent to you through email, and posted on job boards. They claim that you can earn hundreds of dollars a day doing simple things like stuffing envelopes or data entry. Let's face it folks, if it sounds too good to be true, you better believe it is.
Here are just a few of the scenarios you may run across and be tempted, in a moment of weakness, to respond to:
I have received emails and faxes for this scam countless times. The Better Business Bureau reports that this scam has been around for ages, however, with the dawn of email it has taken on a whole new life. The fund fraud transfers scams can come to you through email, fax, or even by personal mail. The sender, who claims to be a government official or member of a royal family, requests assistance in transferring millions of dollars of excess money out of Nigeria and promises to pay the person for his or her help. The message is always of an urgent, private nature. Although the country primarily listed is Nigeria, I have seen other countries listed with the same urgent news.
Those willing to assist are asked to provide their banking account number, Social Security number, birth date, and often times other personal information. Or they are asked to send money to the letter-sender for taxes and various fees. Victims will never see their money again and the con artist pockets the money.
You may think that there is no way that people could fall for such a ridiculous scam, but the FBI reports annual losses of millions of dollars to just these types of schemes. In fact, some victims have actually been lured to Nigeria, where they were imprisoned or much worse.
If you should receive an email of this nature, forward it to firstname.lastname@example.com, then immediately delete the correspondence. If you have already, however, responded to this scam or know someone who has, please contact the U.S. Secret Service as soon as possible by phone (202.406.5572).
This type of scheme is where you send a company money to send you supplies to put together different types of crafts, bows, or other type of small project. You send hundreds of dollars to the company for supplies who have claimed they will pay you "x" amount of dollars if you put the items together as instructed. You will invest hours of your time into putting these crafts together only to have the company tell you that you did not meet the "standards" for the work that they have sent. They will then send the materials back to you which you will be stuck with items and you will also be out a bunch of your own money which you had invested.
This is a scam that I have personally been victim to and spent $69 of our money only to discover that I was stuck with software that I could not use. Stupidly, when I think of a name such as UPS or Federal Express I automatically think that this has to be legitimate, right? Wrong!
The claim with this software is that companies that send out large amounts of shipments through Federal Express or UPS do not have the time to track these packages. If the packages are even one minute late with delivery, you are entitled to a full refund. With these "amazing" software packages, you will now be able to track all these parcels for the companies. You simply call on behalf of your clientele and they will get fifty percent of the refund while you pocked the other fifty percent. These people will agree to this because this is money that they wouldn't have had otherwise. You can make $50-75 an hour and download the list of the packages while you are sitting in your robe and sipping your coffee. Doesn't that sound wonderful?
First of all, neither Federal Express nor UPS is affiliated with any of these software programs. They also have every right to refuse the refund to you, a third-party who did not pay for the shipping in the first place. UPS online tracking system can only be used by the sender of the package or by the recipient. Besides, information obtained through the tracking system can only be used to monitor one's shipment and not for someone's commercial gain unless UPS openly authorizes it. To top it off, UPS prohibits any uses of automated software to access its online shipping-related systems. Therefore, the software you would be using would be deemed illegal.
I guess I had been under the assumption that they would be providing a list of people to contact that would be interested in these services. What they did provide was a list of general types of companies to target like the health industry, industrial services, or retail companies. Through this list you are supposed to come up with a list of people you think would be interested in your services, try to obtain the name and email address of the correct person who should be targeted, and send them this letter that the company has so kindly supplied for you. Then you just sit back and watch people chomping at the bit to get this amazing service. Who in the world would ever give out any of this private tracking information on their packages to a complete stranger? The answer to that, of course, would be no one in their right mind.
This is also a very old scam, however, people continue to fall for it. This scam informs you that you can earn hundreds of dollars by simply stuffing envelopes for companies. What you end up doing is paying someone to get information about stuffing envelopes and instead you get information on how to place the same advertisement for other people to become suckered in just as you have. Today everything is so automated that there is no reason that a company would outsource for envelope stuffing.
This is another scam that I fell head over heels for when searching for a work at home job. I saw an advertisement for a position doing data entry. All I needed to do was pay ten dollars for my "training packet" and they would send to me all of my training materials. For this particular company, I emailed the person in charge to request more information. The person that emailed me back seemed so sweet and told me how much money she was making doing this, sent me an application, (here was the clincher for me) signed it "God Bless." Well, I figured this woman had a little God in her life so she wouldn't be scamming me….right? Wrong again! Upon filling out my application I received within two seconds an email explaining that all I had to do was send the same advertisement out to other unsuspecting people along with an application for employment, review the application (for what reason, I do not know) and send them the congratulatory letter that there employment has been approved. I would then get half of the money and the other half would go to the person who recruited me. Believe me when I say that I got my money back for these training materials. I will explain more on what to do if you become a victim at the end of this article and how to try to salvage your money.
There are tons of phony advertisements out there for this job. While knowing medical transcription is great in a traditional work place, unless you personally know the company and they check out with the Better Business Bureau, be very wary of these types of job listings. The typical scenario usually plays out with the company telling you that you can make hundreds of dollars working from home and all you will need is the CD Rom which will have everything you need to know about medical transcription and at the end of their course you will officially be certified and people will be dying to hire you because of your qualifications. After purchasing your software and the computer system needed in order to link with the central computer system for "training purposes" you will have spent thousands of dollars with absolutely little or nothing to show for it. There will be no job and no clients with an amazing certification from Jon Doe's Medical Transcription Online Schooling Company and you will have wasted both your time and money into yet another fruitless cause.
These are just a few of the many scams that you will find on the internet and could become a potential victim to. These advertisers are looking for desperate people especially stay-at-home moms who are dying to continue staying home with their children or are in a difficult financial position. It is important for you to be an informed mother and know what to look for in a work-at-home scheme. Here are a few red flags that should help make a work-at-home scam more apparent:
Okay, so you are asking, "What if I have already been scammed?" How do I get my money back and who do I report the scam to. As I said before, I had been victim to the "data entry" position and so when I found out that instead of doing data entry I was typing the same dirty little ads out to other unsuspecting victims, I simply sent the company an email and asked for an immediate refund. I received an email back stating that I should have known what I was getting myself into and that they were sorry, but they wouldn't be refunding my money. That is when I looked on the Better Business Bureau's web site to find out how they suggested I get my money back. There web site states the following:
If you become a victim of a work-at-home scheme, ask the company for a refund. If they refuse or give you an evasive response, tell them you plan to notify law enforcement officials.
Keep careful records of everything you do to recover your money. Document your phone calls, keep copies of all paperwork such as letters and receipts, and record all costs involved, including the time you spend. If the company refuses to refund your investment, contact:
All it took for me to have my money refunded was to tell the company that I was planning to contact law enforcement. Hopefully, if you are victim of a scam you will not have to go through these steps, but it is good information to have just in case. Please see my Work-At-Home Ideas to give you more ways to make money from home.

Nothing new at QPR
10:38am Monday 18th January 2010 in Dennis Signy By Dennis Signy
When I wrote A History of QPR in 1969 the book had the unusual distinction of being three managers out of date when it was published. Quite a blow for a writer who prides himself on being first with the news.
I reckon that anyone writing a 2010 history of Rangers, the whirlwind way they seem to be changing managers, could well top my record for being out of date. A copy of my book, by the way, can be seen today as available on Amazon for £32 so it obviously retains some historical interest for those with Rangers at heart.
When I was writing the book Alec Stock was the manager. He was replaced by the coach Bill Dodgin, who walked out when Rangers appointed Tommy Docherty. Tommy's reign lasted 28 days - and he was replaced by Les Allen, who was not mentioned in the book. Is history repeating itself today?
Former Newcastle United and Wimbledon manager Joe Kinnear, who I have known since he was a stylish right back with Spurs, was linked with a role at the troubled Championship club in a national paper last week.
Joe was a guest at the Barnet FC home game against Lincoln City at the weekend and the topic of Rangers came up. Woody, who passed the fit and proper person test last year to marry my daughter Claire, is a QPR fan and she had rung to say he was impressed that my name came up among the 130-plus messages on the We are the Rangers Boys website that day.
One writer labelled me "old school" - I think that's a compliment - and another "proper Rangers", even though accepting that my allegiance these days is to Barnet.
Another wrote: "We were all one, yes we punched above our weight but we all stood together. We shattered some big egos, Arsenal, Spurs, Chelsea ... you name it".
I was chief executive and a director of QPR, then in the old top flight oFirst Division, and worked alongside manager Jim ("Bald Eagle") Smith. Jim was a larger than life Yorkshireman who greeted every turbulent incident in our daily routine by saying "That's one for the book".
If I had written a follow-up History of QPR based on that season we could have had a best seller of unpublished anecdotes!
By contrast with the high flying life of visiting the likes of Old Trafford, Anfield and other temples of the game, my introduction to Brentford as general manager in the Sixties was stark.
The national papers announced my appointment on a Thursday ... two days later we travelled to Peterborough United, lost 3-0 and were relegated to the Fourth Division. Not many can match that record of making such an instant impact.
We may not have made a great impact as a team but we matched the Arsenals, Chelseas and Tottenhams for column inches in the papers. One day I launched a story in the old London Evening News saying that visitors to Griffin Park would collect the old Green Shield stamps.
I met the chairman in the lobby of an hotel. "What the heck do you think you are doing? he asked. "You'll make us look a laughing stock".
In the lift going up, a fellow chairman, holding a copy of the paper, said: "What a brilliant idea". My chairman replied:"I think so".
We never saw the stamps, but the story led the back page and created much interest if not queues to get into the next game.
Going back to books - you can get one of the Tottenham Hotspur books I wrote in the Seventies on Amazon for £28.80. Brian Lowy, who helps host the directors' lounge at Barnet games, took in two Spurs books for me to sign at the weekend.
One of them had a picture of a young Joe Kinnear alongside a chapter I'd written about him. Joe signed on the photo and Brian told him it was a book I'd written.
"You can't believe anything he says", joked Joe. He read a couple of paragraphs and said: "He always was brilliant that Dennis".
PS: Amazon say a copy of my best-selling Pictorial History of Soccer can be snapped up for 1p. Must be a misprint.

Side Dish Recipes
I love all thing potato — and this recipe is no exception. It's simple, frugal, gluten-free… and it tastes great! This is a perfect side dish to accompany all your upcoming summer cookouts — it pairs well with hamburgers or grilled meats. Kids and adults love it! I like to make it up early in the day and pull it out of the refrigerator shortly before baking it.
This has to be one of the easiest side dishes ever. And frugal to boot! It's a stick-to-your-ribs kind of side that can be served all year round. It falls somewhere between creamy mashed potatoes and risotto.
If you tend to cook from scratch you probably have had several recipes that called for broth, and while canned broth isn't super expensive – you can make it at home with hardly any effort for pennies!
This homemade vegetable broth recipe is SUPER easy!
Believe it or not, I've never purchased kale before — at least not that I can remember. But when I found the bag of washed and chopped kale marked down to $1.29, I figured it was high time we try kale.
Guest post from of Chris of Simple Family Finance
Get ready. Today, you're in for a good ol' fashioned food fight! Don't pretend like you don't love those.
Three similar items are going to face off to determine who the winner is. We all know that price comparisons are vital to a frugal food budget, so the winner will be determined by value.
Guest post from Brigette Shevy
Here's a super easy dinner idea that makes use of that oh-so-versatile slow cooker! The homemade pico de gallo takes this recipe up a notch and is a fantastic way to use up some of those amazing garden tomatoes that are quite prolific right about now.
After my fairly successful attempt at making homemade toothpaste, I was again inspired by Thankfully Thrifty to try making homemade yogurt in my crockpot.
I've made yogurt on the stove and in a yogurt maker before, but I've always worried that it wouldn't turn out right in the crock pot. Don't ask me why!
Guest post from Jill of The Prairie Homestead If there is one food worth learning to make from scratch, it's refried beans. Homemade refried beans are: 1. Healthier — Canned, store bought beans are usually full of hydrogenated oils and preservatives. 2. Frugal – I can get a 25-lb. bag of pinto beans from Azure Standard for around […]
Whenever I say something about Green Rice Casserole, most people do a double take. "Green Rice Casserole? What's that??" they'll ask incredulously.
One thing I love to do when I find great deals on soon-to-be-expiring apples and pears is to make homemade pear sauce or applesauce in the crock pot. You could also do it on the stove, but I've found that dumping everything in the crock pot and then leaving it is easier for me right now.

SMF Development > Applied or Declined Requests
Automatically convert Rand() to Random()
I think it'd be better if we do the conversion, I really don't think a lot of people is aware of that, not even developers
It's undocumented.
So, if you write your SQL query as
--- Code: ---SELECT {RAND}() ....
--- End code ---
SMF would replace {RAND} by RAND or RANDOM, depending on which library is being used. That sounds easy enough to do. If an ignorant author only tests with RAND() in MySQL, it should even be possible to automatically flag that (to be fixed) during the submission process.
Is there a list of various database eccentricities beyond RAND/RANDOM? To future-proof code, you might want to go beyond the three databases that SMF handles, and be prepared to handle Oracle, DB2, Access, etc. should they ever become supported. Hopefully there aren't too many such cases, so SMF would not have to specially handle dozens of keywords or even put all function names in {}.
While improving cross-DB capabilities, how about discovering naked reserved keywords during submission testing, and suggesting that they be backticked? This might have to wait until a query is fully assembled (during test) and can be parsed in PHP before actually submitting to the database. Are there other things (triggers, stored procedures, etc.) that could be emulated if properly marked up in the query?
* emanuele adds this to the list of things to document.
But since it's already there is neither a bug, nor a feature request.

I got this thinking it would be a great edition to my shower and shampoo collection. Nope! If I want to smell like my dad I would ask him what $2.00 body wash he's using. That's what this stuff smells like. Save your money.
I love this face/body wash/ shampoo/shave gel. I keep it in my gym bag. It smells amazing and is a great multi-use product.
Nothing works better than this does for me or for my boyfriend. we both love it so much. I cant stop ordering it.

Symbol Designer Workshop
Posted 19 October 2007 - 08:25 PM
here's the thing:
I'm making this shooter game (horror/suspance type)
I've got the main engine ready. and already coded the basic enemy A.I.
Got 5 fully working weapons and movement and control is ready as well.
Now I was starting on level design.
but last week, when I was chilling at youtube, I came across a Halo3 multiplayer movie and an idea struck me.
I want to make my game be a single player game, but also have a multyplayer side to it, just like Halo.
So I went on. Started coding some basic online data transfer and dead reckoning parts for the multyplayer and everything is going awesome so far.
But I come across a problem. In a multyplayer game all players need to be diferent in some way so you can see diferences between enemies.
So I added personalized naming, this way you could see players names everytime you roled the mouse over the enemy player.
BUT that looked too plain... so I said "yeah since it's so much based off halo I could use another idea from it. SYMBOLS. this way players would have a simbol for themselves with personalized colors that would apear over their heads at the same time as the names when they got aimed at.
and then I thought, maybe the guys at GMC could be a helpfull hand, they've got some neat ideas. and here I am.
So yeh I made a mockup of an example of what a simbol could look like in the game.
so yeh, the sizes for the simbol should be 20x20 for them to be the right size.
They can be anything, just keep in mind what would you fancy yourself having over your head in a deathmatch
anyway I'll put anyone who helps out in the credits of course.
and I'll be checking this thread everyday, so keep symbols coming in! I need around 20.
it shouldn't take too long to make a nice looking symbol! so give it a try!!
AND THANX ALLOT! (in advance)

Oh, and maybe I forgot to mention, but please don't put background on the symbols, just the simbol on a white background or whatever background so I can make it transparent.
@ Shadow link: the font is Agency FB all small letters with "space" between the letters

Highly NOT recommended. Terrible location - took an extra hour of drive time because this hotel doesn't really have an address. Couldn't find the location on Garmin or iPhone. When I finally found the complex, I couldn't find the driveway to the hotel parking. The front desk lady wasn't "mean" but didn't make me feel like a valued guest. The condition […] of the hotel is outdated and gross. The shower smelt of vomit. The room doors operate with an actual steel key, not an electronic scan card. In the early morning, before I was ready to wake up, I could hear two loud individuals right outside my room window - apparently where the smoking station was located. The surrounding neighborhood is interstate and trees. However, the breakfast was of better quality than most continental breakfasts at hotels - providing eggs, potatoes, etc. They didn't replenish some of the hot items though.

This won't just be "another newscast". Not only are we going to be first on the air in the late afternoon/evenings with the very latest happening in our community and the world, but we'll also feature experts on a key item of the day, be it local or something that has an impact locally and beyond.
This will also be a show that involves you, the viewer. We want to hear from you before and during the newscast. We'll ask our experts questions you send us via e-mail, text, Facebook and Twitter, and we'll read your comments on the matters. Plus, you can obviously interact with others who are chiming in through social media. We want your help making this the best newscast possible.
My partners in crime on this new venture are a great pair, one of whom you're probably familiar with and another who you'll surely come to enjoy. Karla Castillo has been reporting news in the area for years, and has anchored our newscasts on and off over the years, including noons and weekends. In addition to being a devoted broadcaster, she's also a great wife and a mom to a cute kiddo who actually smiles at ridiculous Elmo impersonations by Mommy's colleague.
The new face to you isn't new to a lot of folks here at the station. Kailey Franz will be providing your forecast at 4:00 p.m. A Texas A&M former student with a meteorology degree, she interned at KBTX before landing her first job in Abilene. After a couple years there, she moved back to our area to be closer to her fiance and family. She's an intensely dedicated forecaster who always has a smile to boot, and is a great addition to our already amazing weather team.
As proud as I am to have been a part of different shows in the past, I'm thrilled to have the chance to help launch this new venture at 4:00 p.m. I hope you'll join us each weekday as we bring you the news and weather that matters to you and yours.

-- medical experts from three countries today opened at the tomb.
Of the late Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat.
To test his remains.
And determine whether somebody poisons him.
Of course they believe that somebody would be Israel.
Yasser Arafat died mysteriously back in 2004 at the time doctor said he died of a stroke.
But there have been persistent rumors and conspiracy theories to lower that Israeli secret agents assassinated him with a radioactive poison.
The Israeli government has denied any involvement in his death.
Eight years ago Palestinians launched an investigation but it stalled.
Until a Swiss firm just this summer reported in discovered a sophisticated poison called.
Polonium 210.
On Arafat's clothing.
David Lee Miller is a lot is live force in Jerusalem -- more but this is likely the investigation.
That will solve this it doesn't much look like.
Well you Michael this Ramallah CSI.
It's possible this investigation is going to us solve the mystery but many say it's a long shot.
Remember that many Palestinians.
Want this investigation to take place among them.
The widow of Yasser Arafat.
This is a very sensitive matter nevertheless the exhumation took place this morning behind blue tarps that were set up in order to keep away prying eyes as well as TV cameras.
And the issue polonium was first raised by scientists who were working actually on a TV documentary.
And they say they sat down to not only on Arafat's clothing but his personal items as well such as his toothbrush in his head start.
The problem that investigators face though is that polonium -- very quickly in as little as three years.
Arafat has been dead for eight.
There's a great deal of uncertainty whether this investigation is going to prove anything -- you don't need much polonium to get your deadly deed done.
You sure don't it is extremely.
The quantity as small as a grain of salt can kill you.
Now you can actually pass through your skin but if it is ingested it can harm your.
Bodily organs DNA and the immune system.
And as you mentioned remember Arafat became sick in October of 2004 at that time no explanation was offered.
His official cause of death in a French hospital says stroke.
But polonium could be the underlying cause the results we're told -- gonna take at least three months.
And in case you're wondering finding polonium.
Is extremely rare.
One place you'll find it.
Is a nuclear research reactor so in fact if polonium was used for the next question is how did the killers obtain.
Trevor David Lee Miller live in Jerusalem for us so well how -- the team of medical experts -- about this investigation.
Joining us now doctor doctor Howard -- he's an intensive care physician at university hospitals of Cleveland case medical center doctor good afternoon thank you.
Good afternoon seemed to me this that make sense from the very beginning for just this reason.
It -- -- had a ninety -- half life goes away completely in three years it's been eight years so what are they doing.
And it's that's a good question except it's in the if you.
Say that it there was 250000.
Particles applaud him in his body when he died there's one left now.
So it's it's a good chance -- -- -- accepting his highly unlikely and even if they do we really don't know how much it was originally and did it play a role.
In his death because polonium is is is found in the Earth's crust so it's all around us but it very very small.
-- and to finds it in very small quantities on his body would be a telling thing or not.
It to death and how much they find they're gonna have to test the soil around where he was Barry to see if there it is -- -- from the soil.
So -- -- a lot depends on what the quantities what the qualities are around the casket what would you explain to me if you if you know that.
These these scientists said they now have a way to figure out -- today here.
That was in the U as of this summer and what to do about it what what are you know of that.
There's it it -- unlike uranium which we could detect but the Geiger counter.
Sort of emits alpha.
Particles and and they have new equipment now that can really -- be very sensitive detect very low levels of alpha particles.
And -- and it's that that brings -- to this point.
I think so I mean they they they just dug up the exude the -- president of Turkey.
-- got knows that after him but wouldn't longer time than.
Arafat has been dead and they found polonium in his body as well this has happened just last month.
Airman from university hospitals case medical center sir thank you.

Recipe by Hunts.com
"Cook once and eat three meals! Melt-in-your mouth braised beef with carrots, onions and celery in a rich tomato sauce. Use leftovers to make Pulled Barbecue Beef and Tuscan-style Penne."
Watch video tips and tricks
4 pounds boneless beef chuck roast
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 large onion, chopped
1 large carrot, chopped
2/3 cup chopped celery
2 (14.5 ounce) cans Hunt's® Diced Tomatoes with Basil, Garlic & Oregano, undrained
1 (14 ounce) can beef broth
I have made this twice now. First time, I followed the recipe exactly, and it was really good. Second time, I made some additions. I added a bunch of minced garlic, dried oregano, and parsley. Also a liberal splash of worcestershire sauce and about 1/4 cup of beer. Excellent!
This was very good. However, I was lazy and just added all the ingredients into the crock pot and let it cook all day. I didn't do any of the browning. I served it over mashed potatoes. Even my youngest, picky eater liked it. We didn't end up with enough to make the 3 meals. It was just enough for 1 meal for our family of 4. We had a few leftovers, but not enough to make pulled barbeque beef sandwiches. Probably could've made the penne pasta out of the leftover sauce, but forgot about it. The leftover sauce with meat scraps tasted good over bread for lunch the next day. The flavor is really good.

Hubby said keep this recipe!!!!!! I needed a recipe for a chuck roast I had and I ran across this one and thought I'd give it a try since I had most of the ingredients in the house. I was out of carrots so didn't add them and I added 4 cloves of garlic (personal preference). The only other thing I did different was cook it at 250 in the oven all day after searing. I recommend this recipe to anyone wanting a yummy dinner that makes the house smell wonderful
This was a great way to cover multiple meals! I had an extremely busy schedule, so I quickly threw everything in the slow cooker. I used two carrots instead of one because I like carrots. My roast was very small so I didn't have enough for the bbq beef, but I shredded the little bit of leftover beef and left it in the sauce. That night, I cooked pasta, put it in a dish, covered it with the left over sauce and placed it in the refrigerator. The next day for dinner, my husband put it in the oven with some shredded mozerella. ....very convenient for busy households. I will use a larger roast the next time! Thanks for the recipe!
Delish! I am not a fan of the crockpot and this is right there. I prefer the stovetop method. I did use regular tomatoes and added fresh herbs instead. The only thing I added was garlic but thats just my preference. The broth was great! Thanks for sharing.
This is a great recipe. The only changes I made were to add minced garlic and I used chicken broth because that is what I had on hand. The broth is so good. My kids had seconds. Thanks for sharing. I will be making this again.
Fabulous....but not many meals. Made one.

Wow, I am very surprised by the amount of information that differs on the net, but since I trust Meguiars, and have all their products, this topic has helped.
I have a 03 crown Vic that recently got painted two weeks ago in a garage, with a dual stage. It looks decent, obviously I hate to see it dirty, collecting dust, etc...being that it sits outside while waiting for my 3 months to be up for a polish..... and it still has compound residue everywhere from where he smoothed it out.
The guy who did mine, my best friend, was deployed right after I got home... so he cannot finish the polishing, or tell me, and what not.
MY question as a newbie to the forum:
1) Is this M80 OK to use for this fresh paint? Even though its not been polished or that I have not waited the 30 days to degas?
2) There seems to be swirls a bit already in the finish and compound that I have tried to hand wash out, but could anyone recommend if I could use a wash from you guys, that would not damage the paint while degassing?

She looks good in the photo accompanying the article, the best that money ban buy, I suppose.
#3: -Here she is performing "Big Spender": http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k8FlmXla0Pw
Goldfinger benefits enormously from her opening song. What a voice!
Here´s a link to another Bassey/Bond belter. The link, posting suggestion, etc. were tipped to me by one of the good guys. [Thanks.] No credit due me.Enjoy.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j4m9ptFefwo
Can´t wait.
Love this gal - Big Spender was a fav and Ihave all of the Bond movies - well, just the ones with Sean Connery and Roger Moore.
Great theme song from the definitive Bond movie--this is outstanding news!
I agree, #9. When I think of "Bond" I hear Dame Bassey singing "Goldfinger". The song requires a powerful, robust voice. My husband and I are watching every Bond film in sequence, via Netflix.
When I was in grade school, AM radio played the song Goldfinger into the ground.
BTW: That was W-A-Beatle-C radio New York, 77 on the AM dial!
Thanks for that link, OP. Wow!I had chills throughout her whole performance.I can´t remember when I last looked forward to the Oscars, but I know it was decades ago.However, this year I will watch for Dame Bassey´s performance.I like Adele, too, but her Skyfall song won´t stand up to comparison.
Shirley Bassey is a class act who was "born above a brothel in a docklands slum," Tiger Bay, Cardiff. (Wikipedia.) And is still classy and still has her stunning voice. "What Now My Love?" is one of my favorite Bassey songs. Here´s how she performed it in 2009--backed by the band of the Welsh Guards:http://youtu.be/uuKSR9EBsk4She was around 73 at the time and the split in her dress looks classy because she ignores it.I´d hate to say how Beyoncé or most of the other female singers of today compare to Dame Shirley. Maybe she´ll spark some change in the appearance of female singers.(Dame Shirley Bassey, then afterwards Dame Shirley, is the proper mode of address--"Dame" is the equivalent of "Knight" for women. Lords and Ladies are different--can be either first name or, well, it gets complicated and off topic.)
Bassey´s performance will no doubt be the one bright spot in hollyweird´s annual major leg lamp awards.

Through the years, men and women answered the call to duty and donned a military uniform in support of their country. That willingness to serve is strong in the Alaska Department of Public Safety among both commissioned and non-commissioned people. Yesterday was Veterans Day, a designation that gives us a great opportunity to thank those around us for serving their country. It also gives those who served, or are still serving, a chance to reflect on their memories of people they served with, things they accomplished and experiences they'll never forget. Some of the many veterans that work for DPS shared their stories to show us what helped shape our nation and give us a glimpse into their past lives.
The potential to save a total stranger's life is a part of being an Alaska State Trooper, but Fairbanks-based Trooper Brian Haley made it part of his personal life as well. After registering to become a bone marrow donor more than three years ago, Haley got the call that he was a match for a total stranger suffering from a life-threatening illness. Following a series of more tests to make sure he was a suitable donor, Haley and his girlfriend, Mindy Quinn, flew to Chicago in September so he could selflessly donate his stem cells to save a person he only knows is by the patent's age, gender and illness.
Teenagers living in rural Alaska villages grow up in a world very different from urban Alaskans. Suicides plague their friends and family at an alarming rate, people can go missing riding from one village to the next during the winters and alcohol abuse runs rampant.
"Sometimes I look around my village and it seems dead," said Allison from Crooked Creek. "Kids sleep all day. They don't want to do anything, like zombies. I don't want it that way. I want to do something to help."
Allison learned about the Alaska Youth Academy (AYA) earlier in the year when she started seeing information and hearing about it around the village and online. "One was in Barrow! How cool is that? I signed up and here I am - top of the world." (Allison also found a summer camp online in Japan but her parents opted to support her bid for an in-state adventure.)

Failure everybody's have a little bit of it right but how do you come back from failure and more importantly how do you use the experience to become a success.
Rick Newman joining me now he's the author of rebounder how -- -- From setback to success Rick I think this is a great idea but I think there's a lot to be learned from failure.
You say a lot of really highly successful people that we already know have have gone through this who would you say.
I started looking to the backgrounds of people we have many of us have heard about and it it turns out that it's almost like almost everybody who's successful has strong but at some point.
And they had to overcome some set back what I found I thought it was really interstate.
Is that people these people actually learned things through those setbacks.
That help them become successful later on to the setback actually contributed to their success or amplify their success if you also I went.
Back in time I looked at -- Thomas Edison and everything he learned from experiments that went -- where they were essentially laboratory failures that many times.
He learned things from those experiments that contributed to something else contributed to the electric lighting system -- his telephone today those are picking up a little something all along the way and he another -- -- never bothered him that these these experiments didn't work out because he had it he always knew that something -- -- -- that and I looked a lot of more moderates on both well.
Yeah -- overlooked but founder of the Vanguard Group the only reason he started vanguard is he got fired from his prior job.
He was kind of going along -- thought everything was fine he was running a mutual fund company.
And there is a board room to basically.
Heat in there were some mistakes a let up to -- acknowledge those mistakes.
And getting fired from -- mean it took awhile you know these processes don't just flip over -- -- takes a lot of work through this all.
But that got got -- started on vanguard it took seven years to get vanguard off the ground but vanguard eventually change -- mutual fund industry as we now.
Right and he is really the father of the of the of them the whole idea of the national -- industry as we know it today.
Are so -- so let's walk through a little bit of this yet you say -- to know when to quit what do you mean I thank you were never supposed to -- Well there's this there's this some old slogan -- failure is not an option.
But people who do hard things know that failure is an option it is just the fact you run into this and Silicon Valley for example all the time they take a lot of risks on companies up and Silicon Valley.
And they know that you might fail so what they do is they say fail fast in -- productively in other words know when it's time to get out.
Don't know don't go on beyond the point of no return waste all your resources waste all your time I mean you know when you've given it a good trying to it's time to try something no wind -- follow them that's about -- GAAP and so yeah got.
You -- secrets can be.
At the setbacks can be is that secret weapon and I you know I know some people are struggling right now.
You know I think people really ought to take a little bit of -- in this first of all -- very good company.
If you feel like you're you're you're struggling you're not sure why you're -- not getting ahead.
But second of all keep an open mind and figure out what you might be doing wrong and learn from these things because.
This is a terrific learning opportunity because you're not gonna learn these things in -- the way you try to do something hard.
-- you're not gonna always give it three shots -- for -- -- take the opportunity to say.
What worked and what didn't work and then start fixing what didn't work -- that is the way to -- fail productively if you will.
Instead of wallowing in.
Regret or bad feelings are trying to blame somebody mean that just doesn't help anybody which is another.
Commonality I found in these people is they just don't get wrapped up in emotion.
They feel emotional when they fail they hated as much as anybody else but there they find a way to put that emotion aside and really analyse what went wrong plan for what can Iran.
Yeah absolutely.
You know -- a with a lot of people we talk about optimism and -- you know you have to stay optimistic but optimism doesn't mean.
Hope everything will work out just because it should this is another thing I asked a lot of people who are successful -- IS or do you consider yourself an optimist.
A lot of them said no not really.
And the reason is they've been through trouble they know things can go wrong.
And what this is taught them is prepare for things to go wrong so when you anticipate what might go wrong that's not necessarily optimistic.
But it gives you a lot of confidence because you've developed the ability to.
React better when quickly go -- Smart ways to fail -- I like I said fail fast.
I'm learn from it I mean don't you don't don't bother blaming anybody you're not gonna learn from that way it's not gonna help.
And look to the next thing I mean and imagine you might feel ten times your career so -- failed once so what we want to the next thing.
You read like at a police said the most I think the take away for me is if you fail hearing good comp.
A lot of really Smart talent ought to be hello father failed.
Absolutely we can tick off the name's Steve Jobs has failed.
Warren Buffett -- his -- Berkshire happen how to it was a huge mistake when he started it is now one of the best investors in the world all sorts of people like this.
Some grant -- by the -- -- -- go ahead -- a little -- I -- let's say -- coming -- thanks for having me.

Reporting by Patch Editor Lucy Bennett
The FBI is seeking the public's help in identifying additional victims of a man charged with repeated sexual abuse of a minor.
Police arrested and charged Joseph Anthony Caracciolo, also known as Joseph Crillo, Joseph Grillo, and Tony Gallardo, last month.
