Cracker Barrel Chicken And Dumplings RecipeFrom sandym204 5 years ago
- chicken and broth shopping list
- 3 quarts water shopping list
- 1 3-4 pound chicken cut up shopping list
- 1 1/2 teaspoons salt shopping list
- 1 small onion sliced shopping list
- 2 stalks celery, chopped shopping list
- 1 clove garlic, peeled and quartered shopping list
- 1 bay leaf shopping list
- 4-6 whole parsley leaves shopping list
- 1 teaspoon coarsely ground black pepper shopping list
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice shopping list
- Dumplings shopping list
- 2 cups all purpose flour shopping list
- 1 tablespoon baking powder shopping list
- 1 1/4 teaspoons of salt shopping list
- 1 cup plus 2 tablespoons milk shopping list
How to make it
- 1. Bring the water to a boil in a large pot. Add the chicken, 1 teaspoon of salt, onion, celery, garlic, bay leaf, and parsley
- to the pot. Reduce the heat to simmer and cook the chicken, uncovered, for 2 hours.
- The liquid will reduce by about one third.
- 2. When the chicken has cooked, remove it from the pot and set it aside.
- Strain the stock to remove all the vegetables and
- floating scum. You only want the stock and the chicken, so toss everything else out.
- 3. Pour 1 1/2 quarts (6 cups) of the stock back into the pot (keep the leftover stock, if any, for another recipe-it can be frozen).
- You may also want to use a smaller pot or a large saucepan for this. Add coarsely ground pepper, the remaining 1/2 teaspoon of
- salt, and the lemon juice, then reheat the stock over medium heat while preparing the dumplings.
- 4. For dumplings, combine the flour, baking powder, 1 1/4 teaspoons salt, and milk in a medium bowl. Stir well until smooth,
- then let the dough rest for 5-10 minutes. Roll the dough out onto a floured surface to about a 1/2 inch thickness.
- 5. Cut the dough into 1/2 inch squares and drop each square into the simmering stock.
- Use all of the dough.
- The dumplings will first swell and then slowly shrink as they partially dissolve to thicken the stock into a white gravy.
- Simmer for 20-30 minutes until thick. Stir often.
- 6. While the stock is thickening, the chicken will have become cool enough to handle.
- Tear all the meat from the bones and remove the skin. Cut the chicken meat into bite-size or a little bigger than bite-size pieces and drop them into the pot. Discard the skin and bones.
- Continue to simmer the chicken and dumplings for another 5-10 minutes, but don't stir too vigorously or the chicken will shred and fall apart. You want big chunks of chicken in the end.
- 7. When the gravy has reached the desired consistency, ladle four portions onto plates and serve hot.

We are pleased to be a partner with the Leave No Trace Center for Outdoor Ethics . Leave No Trace is not about rules and regulations. It's an education program that teaches outdoor enthusiasts how to protect the places they love. The principles of Leave No Trace originated from a need to protect backcountry and wilderness areas from human-caused recreational impacts. However, the application of Leave No Trace extends far beyond these areas. As more and more people are recreating in "front country" settings, knowledge of how to apply Leave No Trace becomes increasingly important.
The following guidelines are a focused set of recommendations based on the original Leave No Trace principles. Please practice these ethics when recreating in our great outdoors.
Planning ahead is the easiest way to protect outdoor places and to enjoy a safe visit. Knowing site-specific regulations beforehand will help you protect the areas you visit. This Internet site can provide you with pre-trip information. Use a map, bring a small first aid kit, and remember to bring additional clothing to keep you warm and dry. Wear suitable shoes or boots for walking through puddles or choose trails that are not muddy. Always carry a leash for your pet. Carry plastic bags to pick up your pet's waste. The more you know and the more prepared you are, the easier it will be to protect the places you enjoy visiting.
Staying on trails is a simple way to protect Montana state parks and fishing access sites. Shortcutting causes erosion and damages trailside plants, especially if it's wet or muddy. Remember, boots dry overnight but trails can take years to recover from erosion. When trailside vegetation is trampled, there is a greater chance weeds will replace native plants. If you must leave a trail, protect vegetation by stepping on rocks, gravel, or other nonvegetated surfaces. In most environments, native plants take years to recover from trampling damage. Avoid areas closed for revegetation or signed as sensitive. Also, some trails may pass through private land. Respect private property by staying on designated trails. Stick to trails.
If camping overnight, stay in a designated site rather than creating your own. Be sure to choose a site big enough to accommodate your group so that you overnight right.
Trash is unsightly and ruins everyone's outdoor experience. Pick up all trash—yours and others. Dispose of biodegradable materials, such as orange peels, apple cores, and food scraps, in a trashcan. Scavengers attracted to trash and leftover food can harm native wildlife. Animals that become dependent on human food often have to be relocated or destroyed. Burning trash or leftover food is not recommended since these items can rarely be completely burned in a campfire. In some Montana state parks and most fishing access sites, "Pack it in, Pack it out." Protect the front country-trash all your trash.
If each of the 6 million people who visited Montana state parks and fishing access sites each year picked a flower or collected a rock or took home an arrowhead, then those who follow would not be able to enjoy them. By leaving the natural world as you find it, you are protecting the habitat of plants and animals as well as the outdoor experience of millions of visitors. So leave it as you find it.
For many, enjoying a campfire is an outdoor tradition. However, unnatural or out-of-control fires can be very destructive and cause long-lasting impacts. Consider cooking on a portable stove rather than a fire. If you plan to build a fire, first check to see if fires are allowed in the area you are visiting. If fires are allowed, always use an existing fire ring. Use charcoal for cooking or, if wood fires are allowed, gather only dead wood on the ground or consider bringing your own from home. Conserve wood by burning your campfire for a short period and allow plenty of time for the fire to burn down to ash. When finished with your fire, douse and stir with water to make sure it's completely out. Never leave a fire unattended, and remember to be careful with fire.
Montana state parks are home to a variety of wildlife. Observe wildlife from a distance; never feed them human food or leave food scraps behind. Animals that become reliant on human handouts lose the ability to find food on their own and can easily become malnourished. Many animals become used to human trail activity. Traveling off-trail may cause added stress to animals and damage habitat. Keep wildlife wild by staying on trails and not approaching, harassing, or feeding them.
Keeping your dog in control protects your pet, other park visitors and their pets, and local wildlife. Others may not appreciate your dog's company; always ask before allowing your dog to approach them. Be sure to check the posted regulations about area leash requirements. If a leash is required, use it. Respect private property by not allowing your dog to wander from designated trails or off-leash areas. Always manage your dog, for his sake and yours.
Pet waste can be a serious problem in recreation areas. With so many people recreating with their pets, the potential to impact the environment is great. Pet waste smells, can be a health hazard for people (particularly children) and other animals, and is not natural to any environment. Cleaning up after your pet helps protect water resources, plant life, and habitat for native animals. The solution is simple—clean up after your pet. Some Montana state parks supply bags that you can use to pick up your pet's waste. If these are not available, a plastic grocery or newspaper bag works. Bag your pet's waste and put it in the trash. This simple act keeps Montana FWP lands clean for all.
People enjoy Montana state parks and fishing access sites in different ways. When passing others on trails, slow down and be courteous—offer a friendly greeting. Bikers, because they often travel at higher speeds, have an extra responsibility to slow down and yield to slower-moving visitors. When yielding, the best practice is to stop, step off the trail on a durable surface (rock, sand, etc.,) and remain until others pass. In all situations, respect other visitors and share our trails.

MINNEAPOLIS — One by one, the key players for the Minnesota Timberwolves keep going down.
One by one, someone else keeps stepping up for a team that has emerged as one of the big surprises of the first two weeks of the season.
Chase Budinger converted a layup on a feed from Andrei Kirilenko with 0.8 seconds to go, lifting the Timberwolves to a 96-94 victory over the Indiana Pacers on Friday night.
Budinger scored 18 points while subbing for the injured Brandon Roy, who left at halftime with a sore right knee. The three-time All-Star is attempting a comeback after chronic knee issues forced him to retire from Portland before last season.
Kevin Love (broken hand), Ricky Rubio (torn ACL) and JJ Barea (sprained foot) were already out for Minnesota, but that just doesn't seem to matter right now.
"It's OK," Kirilenko said with a shrug. "We'll still keep winning. Injuries, that don't matter. Winning is what matters.
Alexey Shved had 11 points and seven assists and Nikola Pekovic added 13 points and eight rebounds for the Timberwolves (4-1), who are three games over .500 for the first time since they were 20-17 in the 2006-07 season.

August 27, 2013
A jersey lay draped over a chair in the Nelson County High School gym Tuesday night. It was the season opener for the girls volleyball team. Player number nine was missing, but not forgotten.
It has been more than three weeks since anyone has reported seeing 17-year-old Alexis Murphy, but at the match against Amherst, Alexis' presence could be felt and seen from both sides of the court.
The season was supposed to be a family affair for the student. Her cousin recently joined the team as assistant coach.
"It would have been my first year coaching her, and we had just finished camp the week before when she went missing," said Jasmine Murphy.
Since then, her teammates have put her jersey on display for their scrimmages.
"We know she's coming home, and so I think for the girls having a sense of seeing her jersey there gives them something to play for," said Jasmine Murphy.
But it wasn't just Alexis' jersey making a statement. Her favorite color, pink, was sprinkled throughout the gym.
The girls tied pink ribbons in their hair, which have become a symbol in the search for the missing teen.
At Tuesday's first official game, even the competition was showing support for Alexis. The Amherst players added bright pink headbands to their uniforms.
Nelson County High School principal Todd Weidow says other schools have shown an outpouring of love during the difficult first month of classes.
"The kids have been through a lot. Our student body has been through a lot of pain and grief and not knowing," said Weidow. "It's just amazing the amount of support and how people have pulled together in hopes of Alexis' safe return."
The FBI had no new information to release Tuesday, but Alexis' family is confident they will bring her back.
"I'm still hopeful," said Jasmine Murphy. "I know they have stuff out there and are continuing to investigate and our family is just staying strong. So, we're keeping our faith up."
Keeping their faith up, and Alexis' jersey out, so when she does return, she can get right back into the game.
Nelson County resident Randy Allen Taylor remains behind bars after being charged with abduction in the case. His next court appearance is September 24.

A Kind of Honourable Dishonour
Someone who made the kind of tackle Solskjaer did in the centre-circle during typical midfield play would have done something much worse than what Solskjaer did, I think, even though they would hardly have denied the other side a goal-scoring opportunity in the way that Solskjaer did. I suppose the lack of protest was amplified by the fact that Manchester United hardly then had the best reputation for accepting referees' decisions, but nonetheless Solskjaer did, in my memory, accept his punishment with at least public good grace. The difference between what Solskjaer 'did' - where this stands for what I remember him doing - and making that kind of tackle in the centre-circle and then arguing with the referee seems to be something to do with the attitude towards the way that the rules of football constitute the activity of playing football, and what breaches of those rules say about your attitude towards the other people playing football with you. Perhaps spitting at another player, or racially abusing them, makes it clearer than the example of a pointlessly reckless tackle. That kind of breach of the rules of football is a breach for the sake of a breach; whatever advantage, if any, is gained by breaking the rules is an advantage which cannot easily be understood within the rules of football - at best, intimidation, and at worst, enjoyment of an attempt to dominate - and indeed depends on being the kind of thing you are not supposed to do to generate that advantage, whereas in the Solskjaer case, the advantage is easily comprehensible within the rules of the practice itself - you stop the other side (from having a chance to) score.
A breach of the rules for the sake of the breach seems worse because it is destructive of the activity at all, in a way that breaches of Solskjaer's sort are not; having people whose actions on the football field are not motivated by and not consistent with the aim of playing and winning football games is, to some degree, to stop playing football. That in turn seems a kind of disrespect of the other participants in the activity; they are there to play football, and by participating in the activity without abiding by the rules that make it that activity, it becomes much more difficult for them to play football, much more difficult than if whoever is disrupting their game had not participated at all. As a universal attitude, it even seems to disrespect one's own agency; if one is not prepared to respect the rules that constitute a practice which one is engaged in, it becomes difficult to see how one is capable of doing anything at all. Think of how annoying Robbie Savage can be; you wonder why he bothers, since it often seems like all he does is stop other people from playing football by niggling at them. This, of course, is just another example of the reflexivity of agency, and perhaps of normative considerations in general. All that I know most surely about morality and obligations I owe to football, indeed.

I remember that. Not so sure about your normative claims, however. While it's more easy to understand, and perhaps even excuse, what he did, I think it's clearly worse than the same tackle in the centre circle.
And I'm not really sure why a breach for advantage-within-the-game is supposed to be less destructive; if anything I'm inclined to say it's more destructive, because they're clearly motivated by footballing advantage but go about it in the wrong ways. Spitting is unpleasant regardless of whether or not you're playing football, but doesn't seem to threaten the fact that you're playing football. Though I suppose what you may be getting at is that something like handball is only wrong because you're supposed to be playing football.

No, it's not the 'you can only handball if you are playing football' point. It is the point that if you are breaking the rules of football in order to gain advantages within the game of football, you are still playing football, whereas if you are breaking the rules of football for some external purpose, you are no longer (really) playing football. Playing football with people who are not (really) playing football is more difficult than playing football with people who are playing football dirtily or carelessly, although the two made shade into each other at the margins.

I don't really agree with that. I think it's worse to break the rules for a footballing advantage, because that's undermining the point of the game (which is to score more goals, within the rules of the game).
Spitting is only against the rules because it's generally unpleasant (whether you're playing football or not), so I don't see how someone spitting isn't really playing football - they are, they're just not a nice person.

There are at least three points to make here. First, it is important to remember that what Solskjaer 'did' included walking off without waiting to be sent off. Part of a breach within the rules is accepting the punishment as part of the rules. Second, and relatedly, it is important that a part of the rules of football is the rules which specify punishments for breaches of the other rules. Because of that, when we say that the point of football is to score more goals, within the rules of the game, it is important to remember that the rules of the game include rules about what happens when other rules are broken (is it, for example, unacceptable for a striker who knows they are offside - admittedly unlikely - to go on and score, just because the linesman doesn't flag; I think not, because the rule is that the referee, with the help of the linesman, calls offsides; but they have broken the rules; if their team goes on to win, has the point of football been lost?). Breaching for the sake of breaching does not accept the punishment, and precisely because it is breaching for the sake of breaching. Third, it is a separate issue whether the rules about punishing last-man-fouls outside the box are good rules; it may be that a better set of rules for football would give penalties whenever the last man brought someone down, but that is a different issue. You can clearly honour a set of rules in the breach whilst, to a certain degree, exploiting their weaknesses.
- 1:25 pm
- Ben said...
That's true, but it raises the interesting question whether it is actually against the rules for the last man to bring down an attacker - because it comes close to interpreting the rules as 'you can bring down an attacker in exchange for a red card'. I'm not sure obeying a second-order rule concerning punishment for a first-order offence shows great respect for the rules - though it's rather like the case of accepting punishment for civil disobedience.
- 9:13 am
- Rob Jubb said...
"it's rather like the case of accepting punishment for civil disobedience."
That's interesting, I think. The point in Rawls' discussion of civil disobedience is that disobedience has to show respect for the law whilst breaking it, hence punishment should be accepted. But it is not just that punishment should be accepted; it's that the breach should respect the values that a just legal system has in the first place - it should participate in the activities which a just legal system makes possible, you might even say.

A deal done, but this year's been a legislative dud for Obama
- Written by John King/CNN
- Published in News
It began with high hopes and lofty rhetoric, as a newly reelected President Barack Obama ended his State of the Union wish list with a call to action: "It remains the task of us all, as citizens of these United States, to be the authors of the next great chapter in our American story."
But 2013 will hardly be remembered as a great chapter. Instead, even with Wednesday's debt ceiling and government funding deal, this is a wasted year in Washington, one of more band-aid budgeting, polarized partisanship and Republican chaos.
Yes, public opinion polls suggest the government shutdown and debt ceiling crisis is more damaging to Republicans than to the President and his fellow Democrats.
And Obama gives up little in the deal struck Wednesday to fund the government through January and raise the debt ceiling through early February.
But with precious time in his second term ticking by, it is safe to say the President is losing even as he may "win" the short-term political blame game.
Consider the priorities laid out in his February State of the Union Address:
• A new jobs plan
• Infrastructure investments targeting roads and the 70,000 American bridges he noted are deemed structurally unsound
• An increase, to $9 an hour, in the federal minimum wage
• A guarantee of quality pre-school education for every child in America
• New background checks for gun purchases and, the President asked, for an up or down vote on new gun restrictions, including a ban on certain assault style weapons
• Plus sweeping immigration reform, including, in his words, "a reasonable pathway to earned citizenship."
Also in his address: a plea to end the budgeting by brinksmanship and crisis and a hopeful call for bipartisan negotiations on tax reform and Medicare and other entitlement spending.
Eight months later – as the end of that critical first year of the presidential term comes into focus – none of those priorities has been realized. Not one.
And Washington's dysfunction appears to be only deepening, as differences between Democrats and Republicans are often overshadowed by the internal civil war within the GOP.
Don't count on that environment improving once Washington stumbles its way past this latest crisis.
The deal provides a temporary fix – essentially kicking the can down the road to January and February to give Congress and the White House time to negotiate.
A welcome respite, perhaps, but the issues wont get any easier over the course of those three or four months, and the politics – believe it or not – could get even more difficult because those new deadlines are early in the midterm election year.


text: On December 5, 2001, at 1343 eastern standard time, a homebuilt Baby Ace, N916MG, was substantially damaged during approach to a private airstrip in Spencerport, New York. The certificated private pilot was seriously injured. Visual meteorological conditions prevailed and no flight plan was filed for the local personal flight conducted under 14 CFR Part 91.A student pilot, who had approximately 200 hours of flight experience, was at his place of business and witnessed the accident. The student pilot stated that he heard the airplane fly overhead, and recognized the sound of the engine. He then saw the airplane turn from base to final leg for runway 35, and it was about 200 feet above the ground. The airplane was in a steep bank, possibly in excess of 60 degrees. The witness told his wife, "he's going to stall," and then the airplane flew directly into the ground. According to the pilot's written statement, he did not recall the accident. He reported a total flight experience of 310 hours, of which, 40 hours were in the same make and model as the accident airplane.Examination of the wreckage by a Federal Aviation Administration inspector revealed that the right wing aileron cable was not secured in a pulley groove. Rather, the cable was resting between the side of the pulley and an attachment bracket. The inspector added that emergency personnel had severed the wings during the rescue effort, and he did not know if the cable dislodged before the accident or during the rescue effort.

November 28, 2014
The goal of the holiday (and yes it is an official holiday, there's even a FaceBook group) is to encourage everyone to get out there and hug as many people as possible.
Any and all styles are accepted. The "bro" hug where you maintain some distance and provide a nice open-handed pat on the back; the "cuddle" where you draw that special person close and essentially cuddle up; or of course the "crazed sorority" hug which involves much screeching and jumping; the idea is to show a little love and support for the world at large, writes, Alberto Ramos Cordero of HuliqNews.com.
According to Holiday Insights, National Hugging Day was created in 1986 by Rev. Kevin Zaborney from Carol, Michigan. Zaborney created the day to promote "the emotional benefits of hugging".
"For human beings, you need two hugs a day to survive, four hugs for maintenance, six hugs to grow," said Virginia Satir, a Wisconsin Marriage and Family Therapist.
"National Hug Day is a different form of sharing. We've got more than our quota of whiners and far too few huggers these days. That's what National Hugging Day is all about," writes Saginaw News columnist, Chris Thompson.
So get out there and share some hugs!

Sid Rosenberg not a big fan of WFAN morning show
Here is a clip of Sid Rosenberg colorfully ripping the WFAN morning team of Boomer Esiason and Craig Carton, about whom I wrote in my Friday newspaper column.
(He even has an interesting Imus reference!)
In early January, Sid went on a long anti-Carton rant in a phone conversation with WatchDog, calling him "a cheap imitation of me."
I asked Carton Wednesday what the problem is between Rosenberg and him. This is all I got out of him on the record:
"I wont dignify a newspaper article or anything else with talking about him,'' Carton said. "He knows the deal."

|I think it's premature to condemn the timer-- it may, infact, be the problem, but there is insufficient data to say with certainty.
In re-reading your first post, the problem with the water continuing to come in when the timer is shut off points to a bad water inlet valve; especially when this information is coupled with the fact that you are on a well. We have lots of homes on wells in my area and I see this problem, water inlet valves impaired by well sediment, almost everyday.

Another one bites the dust
I was corresponding with a CM guy from another state( he looked me up first) when eventually the emails started getting fewer/shorter, and he really wasn't responding to things I was telling him....I was just getting stock phrases/short answer stuff. I had wondered if we could chat on CM today, and he agreed to. Then he tells me(on 12/6/12) he's going to a church event "with a new friend." (read: new girlfriend or potential girlfriend) So I tried to be nice and give him an out and I said that I had Christmas errands to run and could not chat after all. I said if you want to chat, fine, if not ok, have a good Christmas. He then said "That sounds good to me." Sigh.
Ok, I get that these things happen. People on CM correspond with more than one person, that's what you're supposed to do. Or maybe he met her at an event in his area, she lives closer to him, etc. I'm not trying to fix this, just venting, thanks. Maybe it's a good thing my subscription is up in March. sorry:

While on an instructional flight, a bolt in the main rotor blade broke separating the blade from the hub. The blade struck the student pilot resulting in fatal injuries. The responding FAA inspector stated the on-scene investigation found the hub bar wing and rotor blade had separated from the hub bar due to the failure of the hub bar wing retaining bolt head. The NTSB material lab reported the bolt that retains the hub bar wing to the hub bar was fractured in the radius between the shank and the head. Presence of fatigue arrest marks covering approximately 90 percent of the cross-sectional area. The fatigue cracks initiated from multiple origins all the way around the outer diameter surface at the bases of the radius with the head. The head contacts that hub bar without the use of a washer. A product notice number 33 was issued by Rotary Air Force (RAF) on June 18, 2001, placing a 500 hour time change factor on RAF rotor blades and hub bar "until further notice". The product notice number 33 had not been accomplished on the accident gyroplane at the time of the accident. The owner/certified flight instructor (CFI) stated the blades had a total time of about 930 hours at the time of the accident, which about 430 of those hours were of airtime. He did remember getting some kind of notice through the mail, something about a 500 hours time on the blades but the notice was not clear and too vague. If it was mandatory, a notice wound be issued stating as such. The Owner/CFI added the blades on the accident gyroplane never experience a ground strike, but did have nicks and scrape marks on the blades. A representative of RAF contacted the owner/CFI about a month after product notice 33 was issued advising of the notice and informed him about internal damage and stress that occurs if the rotor blade contacts the ground and the nature of such damage, which are undetectable. The owner/CFI stated he and RAF have had conversations; however, those discussions were more about training issues and the amount of training time the students were receiving. None of those conversations were about RAF product notice number 33 or blade strikes.
The National Transportation Safety Board determines the probable cause(s) of this accident to be:

Seydanur carries the torch.
Seydanur Kabasakal, a high school student from Turkey selected as part of the International Inspiration programme, was one of 20 torchbearers who carried the Olympic Flame between Lincoln and Nottingham.
'Today we were introduced to our torch. It was very exciting. I thought it would be heavy but it wasn't,' wrote 16-year-old Seydanur Kabasakal in her diary. She was one of the 20 Olympic torchbearers who carried the Flame from Lincoln to Nottinghamon its 41st day, 28 June.
The high school student, who is also the co-president of the Child Rights Committee of Ankara, was very well aware that she was becoming part of Olympic history as she prepared to leave Turkey for the big day. 'I tagged my location on Facebook,' wrote Seydanur in her diary from Ankara's Esenboga Airport. 'Because we're really cool now.'
The Olympic Flame has been carried around the UK since 19 May. When it reaches the Olympic Stadium on 27 July for the Opening Ceremony, a staggering 8,000 people will have carried the torch. The torchbearers are chosen from role models who have somehow served as inspirations in diverse areas, from sport and education to environment and health.
Twenty of the torchbearers, including Seydanur, have been selected as part of the International Inspiration project, the official London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games legacy program implemented in 20 countries around the world. International Inspiration in Turkey is run by the British Council, UNICEF Turkey, Ministry of National Education, Ministry of Youth and Sports, Ministry of Family and Social Policies and Turkey's National Olympic and Paralympic Committees.
Before heading off to the UK, Seydanur told us she was 'looking forward to meeting people and seeing how London is preparing for the Olympic Games.' Two days after her arrival in London and two days before the relay, she wrote in her diary, 'I'm a Londoner now.'
Having had a tour of London, and 'learning almost all the places,' the most impressive part of London for her was the Olympic Countdown Clock in Trafalgar Square. 'London is a really beautiful city. It's perfect with its order and transportation and everything,' wrote the young observer from a country with a renowned traffic problem.
How does Seydanur see the International Inspiration project? 'I see International Inspiration as a project that emphasises the importance and unparallel nature of sports and physical activity for children and young people, advocating an active lifestyle,' she said before her trip to the UK. 'The project also helps us develop various personal skills like leadership, volunteering, participation and research through sports and physical activity.'
Seydanur had a taste of diversity on her first day when she met the fellow torchbearers. 'I think together, we give the best message with our appearance. No matter how different we are, we can understand each other and do things,' she wrote, referring to her peers from such far off places as Brazil, Egypt and Zambia.
'When I first found out about that I was selected for the torch relay, I was on clouds. I had been selected for something very exciting, something truly huge,' Seydanur reflected. As the big day came, and the 20 youth were brought together with the other torchbearers, the truth hit. 'The photos, the running lanes, everything was so vivid. I was fifth in the row. I was happy for that because 5 is my lucky number,' she said. She was also happy for the dreaded rain sparing them for the day: 'We were so lucky that it wasn't raining when we were running.'
'This incredible experience will stay with me for life. I'm aware that this opportunity will open doors both in my education and my career in the future,' Seydanur said. And of her fellow torchbearers, Seydanur reflected, 'It will be hard leaving them.'

Read a reflection from Luan, the torchbearer from Brazil who was paired with Seydanur during the relay, and others from International Inspiration participants.


text: On February 26, 2009, approximately 1230 central standard time, an experimental Neland Richard L. Dayton Super Cub, N170DN, sustained substantial damage when it flipped over during an emergency landing at Guymon Municipal Airport (GUY), Guymon, Oklahoma. The private pilot/owner was not injured. Visual meteorological conditions prevailed and no flight plan was filed for the flight conducted under 14 Code of Federal Regulations Part 91.According to a Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) inspector, who responded to the accident site, the airplane's left main landing gear shock strut rod separated during take off from a farm field. The pilot decided to continue the flight to GUY and called emergency personnel to meet him at the airport. The pilot landed on the northeast grassy side of runway 06. The damaged landing gear shock strut rod impaled the ground during the landing, which caused the airplane to nose over on the left wing. The airplane came to rest inverted on the upper wing surface and rudder assembly.An examination of the airplane revealed that the pilot's center forward cross-over tube, left window center post fuselage frame, and rudder were substantially damaged.The airplane was equipped with 35-inch-wide tundra tires. According to the tire manufacturer, several operators of this make/model airplane are equipped with 31-inch-wide tundra tires and there have been no reported shock strut rod separations. The pilot/owner will install landing gear shcok-strut safety cables once the airplane is repaired.

His two most memorable roles, in 1987's Dirty Dancing and 1990's Ghost, both showcased his caring side. They were also his biggest box-office successes.
In Dancing, he made hearts flutter as a sexy, supportive dance instructor who, via the mambo and cha-cha, helps transform a teenage wallflower (Jennifer Grey) into a self-confident woman.

If we have no expectations, we will have no disappointments. But this is difficult if not impossible to do.
Perhaps I should first distinguish between expectations and hope. When I use the word expectation I am referring to a belief that a particular event or action will occur. When we hope something happens, we are acknowledging that there is little likelihood of it occurring, e.g., I hope to win the lottery. We would like it to happen, but we don't expect it. When we expect something to happen, we feel disappointed when it doesn't, e.g., I expected to get the promotion and it was given to someone else. With expectations we anticipate that the event will in fact occur. When we hope something happens, we rarely feel terribly disappointed when it does not occur. However, when we expect something to happen and it does not occur, we are disappointed. Too often we turn a hope into an expectation. As I will illustrate below, when this happens we risk increasing our disappointment because the discrepancy between what we now expect and the reality of what actually happens is magnified.
If we want to reduce our disappointments we should differentiate between hope and expectations and reduce the number of expectations.
Modulating expectations
Too often we have expectations that far exceed the probability of having those expectations met. We should always ask ourselves what is a reasonable expectation. A reasonable expectation meets certain criteria. Is the expectation appropriate for the circumstance. It is reasonable, for example, to expect to be able to run a marathon without training for it? Is it reasonable to expect to be accepted to Harvard University with an SAT score of 1000 and a GPA of 3.0? Is it reasonable to expect a new president to reverse the national and world wide economic recession that he inherited in only three years?
More often than not when we feel disappointed, we tend to have higher expectations than warranted by the data at hand. We often want something to happen so badly that we exaggerate the likelihood of the occurrence beyond any realistic probability that the desired outcome will occur. When this happens, we experience far greater disappointment.
A teenage girl wants the high school football star to ask her to the prom. She hardly knows the boy, but harbors a fantasy of being with him. She builds the fantasy into an expectation based on the fact that he may have said good morning to her. She has little data to support her expectation and yet when he asks someone else to the prom, she feels devastated. This is a case of unwarranted expectation leading to a big disappointment. A boy with moderate scores on the SAT and a mediocre GPA builds an expectation of being accepted to Harvard. When the rejection letter arrives, he is disappointed big time. In both of these instances, the two teenagers built an expectation on limited data and in each case there was a very small probability of having their expectations met. They turned hope (or fantasy) into an expectation.
In the political arena, people had high hopes for President Obama to change the direction in which our country heading. They had high hopes that he would be able to reverse the economic recession. These were hopes turned into expectations. There was no evidence to support the expectation. Obama was a first term senator with no experience leading a country. He had limited experience in politics and no experience with economics. Yet people expected him to meet their expectations. They built their expectations on hope and when he didn't come through, they felt greatly disappointed. There was a severe disconnect between their hope and the reality of what was reasonable to expect. Rather than adjust their expectations to that reality, they continued hoping with the result that they are now so disappointed that want to find another candidate who will meet their expectations no matter how unreasonable or improbable.
If we want to minimize our experience of disappointment, it is necessary that at the very least we have to differentiate hope from expectation, evaluate our expectations in terms of actual data and the probability of having them met, and adjust our emotional response accordingly. If we do otherwise we set ourselves up to feel disappointment and frustration, not to mention unhappiness.
Perhaps we would be better off if could hope without expectations.

Just when was the last there was a time your phone rang only to find out that it was an unmarked telephone number. Have you question the legitimacy of the call? Maybe you wondered who it had been once you allow the call go to voicemail only to find out that they didn't even leave a message. How would you react in a case like this? Would you call your pals and ask around for the phone number details or would you simply disregard the call.Often enough we are confronted with difficult decisions on whether we should discover who called us and obtain to the bottom the unknown caller fiasco. Well here is what you need to do to get the caller, listen carefully. Next time a caller calls your mobile phone or landline save the phone number and operate a search on the search engines. Either Bing or Yahoo works. Go into the telephone number to the search engine along with the area code striking enter, you should get some results which are fairly relevant but sometimes not accurate. That which you do next is find out in which the caller originated from. Like the city state as well as carrier information are freely offered by various number authorities. Phone Number QueryIf this information is insufficient you are able to operate a call lookup to obtain the caller identified. You can get information such as name and address fairly easily by using the hyperlink mentioned. Simply go into the number in to the query box and run the search. You might have to pay a miniscule fee to obtain personal data in the caller, however, it's worth it to gain a little bit of reassurance. Once you get the report you will have the callers complete profile and also the unknown caller will end up relevantly know. Should you ever happen to get another caller who didn't leave their information on a voicemail then you can repeat the process again the way you like.

- Really enjoyable experienceyumyumDined on 6/24/2014The service here was spot on, friendly, attentive but not overly so. The food was solid, gnocchi was A+, tomato sauce with pasta was a thing of beauty even to my picky Italian husband, they had reasonably priced pasta options for the kids(not on the menu), great bread, wonderful desserts. The strawberry shortcake was delish with a caramel sauce we could not stop scrapping the plate to get every last bit. I had a ribeye and my only note here was that it was not an expensive cut & was a bit overdone. Still, the chef had a great sear & coaxed an amazing flavor from a fairly humble ribeye. We brought our kids and it was kid friendly but this is a nice restaurant and if your kids are not old enough to hang thru a leisurely meal, I might skip it.Special Features:

We were left cooling our heels for a good 10 minutes before any real contact. Very strange vibe and the food was okay.

- Great dinner for party of 6bobcDined on 4/19/2014We were looking for a nice place for dinner for a party of 6 in the Yountville/St Helena area. Checking through the restaurant review web sites we noted St Helena Bistro with its limited number but excellent reviews. We made reservations for our party of 6 for a 5 PM dinner. We asked for the quietest location and were seated near the back of the restaurant, which was of moderate noise level. We ordered an assortment of dinners off of the regular menu. All 6 of us were extremely pleased with our meals and with the service provided. Meal presentation was very nice and food quality was excellent. Ended up leaving a larger tip than normal because we enjoyed the meal so much. Highly recommend and intend to come back again soon.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- TandTVIPDined on 4/18/2014We had lunch here and the food was very good. We ate outside which was nice on a sunny spring day. The service was a bit slow but this was due to a staff shortage. Every table was full which proves the food quality is great. But there were only 2 food servers which made it difficult for them to take orders, deliver food and wine, clear tables for people waiting. All in all, a good experience and we will return. I had the gnocchi which was great with the pancetta, peas and creamy tomato sauce. My husband had the eggplant parmesan and thought it was fantastic.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

We were not impressed on our previous visits but honestly thought it was under new management and chef. We ordered the calamari which was quite good and then each had the eggplant parmesan that was raved about. I made the mistake of not asking if the eggplant slices were thick or thin. They were very thick close to an inch. Too much eggplant for us. We will give it another try and order something else, the other dishes that we saw coming out of the kitchen looked good. The wines by the glass are good and affordable and there is no corkage on the first bottle.I would recommend this to a friend.

The hot topic of mental health
By xebnotlaw | Monday, January 07, 2013, 16:42
A Tunbridge Wells Girl...
Mental health is nothing to be scared of.
A brand new book, due for launch this year, aims to use other people's stories in an effort to prove that mental health illnesses are nothing to be scared of. Combining short stories, quotes and pictures from people all around the World; The Mental Health Struggle – From Agoraphobe to CEO is to be nothing short of a motivational masterpiece. Currently being funded for self publishing, the creator of this project has experienced some tough times herself and suffers from agoraphobia. She is born and bred in Tunbridge Wells, Kent.
health is a hot topic...
There have been a lot of news and media surrounding mental health illnesses recently, both good and bad. With a focus in the USA on providing better mental health care, especially during recent tragedies, and a constant look at improving similar services in the UK. Celebrities have raved about their battles with depression, eating disorders, addictions and anxiety for years; now it is the time of the real people. Although the book will feature stories from certain 'famous people' there will be many more from those that have triumphed over adversity, whilst living in the real world.
A story of her own...
Rebecca Walton, the creator of this project, is a 23 year old writer living in Tunbridge Wells, Kent. She has suffered with severe depression from a young age, which worsened after her mother passed away in 2008. Since then, her life has been a rollercoaster of emotions which has left her practically housebound with anxiety and agoraphobia. Instead of sitting back and claiming incapacity benefits, Rebecca begun to work from home as a freelance copywriter. Over the past few months she has set up her own business and begun this incredible project. Her story will be included with alongside others from those with a whole range of mental health illnesses.
Getting involved...
Rebecca is still crying out for as many people as possible to get involved, in any way they can. She says, "There are so many stories to be told, I just want to get together as many as I can, so that everyone can have their say." She has invited people on various forums, websites and blogs, to send in their story, a favourite quote or a picture that they have taken. "Anything that represents one person's struggle with a mental health illness can help another person get through their own." says the inspired writer. The project is also being funded on Kickstarter so that the book can be self published. As with any Kickstarter project, it has had to go through rigorous guidelines to ensure that it meets their strict criteria (plus it has a really catchy video).
The Mental Health Struggle is a book that is set to inspire and motivate those in their neediest times. Not only that, but it should open up other's minds about the different types of mental illnesses and assure them that there is nothing to be afraid of. The book is due for release in Spring 2013, once funding has been completed on Kickstarter. All profits of the book will be divided between several mental health charities and organisations.

October 21, 2009
Santa Monica, Calif.'s Big Blue Bus announced that 11 new flexible North American Bus Industries (NABI) 60-foot articulated buses will be joining its fleet starting in 2011, allowing the transit agency to add a new level of expanded service to the public.
A provision in the contract allows for the option to purchase an additional 10 buses as funding becomes available in the future, and three of the new buses are being purchased with American Recovery and Reinvestment Act funds.
The articulated buses will first be introduced on the popular Rapid 7 bus rapid transit (BRT) line, which is one of the agency's busiest routes. The Rapid 3 line will also receive new buses after the initial deployment on Rapid 7 is complete. The new cleaner burning compressed natural gas buses will replace some of the older diesel buses in the fleet, in keeping with the city's commitment to sustainability.
The new NABI articulated models include interior features for maximum comfort and convenience for all passengers, including seniors and those with disabilities. Each bus has 53 seats instead of the usual 40, and runs on clean compressed natural gas, which is 77 percent cleaner burning than diesel fuel.
According to NABI Senior Vice President Joe Gibson, BRT vehicles offer cities a less complicated and more affordable way to implement an efficient, more environmentally friendly transit system in their communities than other solutions.
"NABI's 60-foot BRT vehicle is a rubber-tire solution to light rail," said Gibson. "It offers many of the same amenities and features of rail, but with the flexibility afforded to bus route deployment," he said.
The Big Blue Bus currently operates a fleet of over 200 alternative fueled vehicles, carrying over 20 million passengers a year around a 52-square mile service area of Los Angeles County. The agency, nationally known for its commitment to sustainable transit equipment and technologies, recently opened a new $60 million eco-maintenance facility that includes three dedicated bays to service the new articulated models.
The Big Blue Bus contract with NABI contains provisions enabling the transit agency to purchase additional 60-foot BRT's in subsequent years, in keeping with anticipated expansion of the transit agency's Rapid Blue service.

The Benefits of Door-to-Door Service in ADA Complementary Paratransit Many U.S. transit agencies continue to struggle with the quality of ADA service, the costs, and the difficulties encountered in contracting the service, which is the method of choice for a significant majority of agencies. One of the most basic policy decisions an agency must make involves whether to provide door-to-door, or only curb-to-curb service.

AES E-Library
A Stereophonic Transmission System for AM Broadcasting
The quadrature modulatio method of AM stereo broadcasting utilizes normal double sideband AM transmission to convey the sum signal, and an added pair of sideband phasors, the sum of which is quadrature with the carrier phasor, to convey the difference signal. The system described here features processing of the (A+B) and (A-B) channels to insure optimum compatibility and stereophony. The resulting spectrum, effects on existing receivers, and performance of stereo receivers designed for the system are discussed. The application o- this method to a 250 w transmitter and to a high power broadcast transmitter presented some implementation problems. The means of overcoming these are discussed and a description of conversion equipment is given.
