Carotid artery surgery
Carotid artery surgery is a procedure to restore proper blood flow to the brain.
The carotid artery brings needed blood to your brain and face. You have one of these arteries on each side of your neck. Blood flow in this artery can become partly or totally blocked by fatty material called plaque. Such a blockage can reduce the blood supply to your brain and may cause a stroke.
There are two invasive ways to treat a carotid artery that has plaque buildup in it. This article focuses on a surgery called endarterectomy. The other method is called angioplasty with stent placement.
Alternative Names
Carotid endarterectomy; CAS surgery; Carotid artery stenosis - surgery; Endarterectomy - carotid artery
During carotid endarterectomy:
- You will probably receive general anesthesia. You will be asleep and pain-free. Some hospitals may use local anesthesia instead. Only the part of your body being worked on will be numbed with medicine so that you will not feel pain. You will be given a medicine to help you relax.
- You will lie on your back on a padded operating table with your head turned to one side. The side your blocked carotid artery is on will face up.
- Your surgeon will make a surgical cut on your neck over your carotid artery. Your surgeon will put a catheter (a flexible tube) in place. Blood will flow through the catheter around the blocked area during surgery.
- Then your surgeon will open your carotid artery. The surgeon will remove the plaque inside your artery.
- Your artery will be closed up with stitches after the plaque is removed. Blood will now flow through the artery to your brain.
- Your heart and brain activity will be monitored closely during your surgery.
The surgery takes about 2 hours. After the procedure, your doctor may do a test to confirm that the artery has been opened.
Why the Procedure Is Performed
This procedure is done if your doctor has found narrowing or a blockage in your carotid artery. Your doctor will have done one or more tests to see how much the carotid artery is blocked.
Surgery to remove the buildup in your carotid artery may be done if the artery is:
- Narrowed by more than 70%
- Narrowed between 50% and 70% and your doctor thinks you have a very high risk of having a stroke
If you have had a stroke, your doctor will consider whether treating your blocked artery with surgery is safe for you.
Other treatment options your doctor will discuss with you are:
- No treatment, other than tests to check your carotid artery every year
- Medicine and diet to lower your cholesterol
- Blood-thinning medicines to lower your risk of stroke. Some of these medicines are aspirin, clopidogrel (Plavix), and warfarin (Coumadin).
Carotid angioplasty and stenting is more likely to be used when carotid endarterectomy would not be safe.
The risks for any anesthesia are:
- Allergic reactions to medicines
- Breathing problems
The risks for any surgery are:
- Bleeding
- Infection
Risks of carotid surgery are:
- Blood clots or bleeding in the brain
- Brain damage
- Heart attack
- More blockage of the carotid artery over time
- Seizures (this is rare)
- Stroke (this is rare)
- Swelling near your airway (the tube you breathe through)
Before the Procedure
Your doctor will do a thorough physical exam and order several medical tests.
Always tell your doctor or nurse what drugs you are taking, even drugs, supplements, or herbs you bought without a prescription.
During the 2 weeks before your surgery:
- A few days before the surgery, you may need to stop taking drugs that make it harder for your blood to clot. These include aspirin, ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin), clopidogrel (Plavix), naprosyn (Aleve, Naproxen), and other drugs like these.
- Ask your doctor which drugs you should still take on the day of your surgery.
- If you smoke, you need to stop. Ask your doctor or nurse for help quitting.
- Always let your doctor know about any cold, flu, fever, herpes breakout, or other illness you may have before your surgery.
Do NOT drink anything after midnight the night before your surgery, including water.
On the day of your surgery:
- Take any drugs your doctor prescribed with a small sip of water.
- Your doctor or nurse will tell you when to arrive at the hospital.
After the Procedure
You may have a drain in your neck that goes into your incision. It will drain fluid that builds up in the area. It will be removed within a day.
After surgery, your doctor may want you to stay in the hospital overnight so that nurses can watch you for any signs of bleeding, stroke, or poor blood flow to your brain. You may be able to go home the same day if your operation is done early in the day and you are doing well.
Outlook (Prognosis)
Carotid artery surgery may help lower your chance of having a stroke. But you will need to make lifestyle changes to help prevent plaque buildup, blood clots, and other problems in your carotid arteries over time. You may need to change your diet and start an exercise program, if your doctor tells you exercise is safe for you.

Martin County housing program expands
For more information on qualifications and restrictions for the current Neighborhood Stabilization Program:
--Contact the Housing Department at 772-221-1362
--Visit the county website at www.martin.fl.us, click on Departments, then on subsequent links to the County Services Division and Housing.
MARTIN COUNTY — The county's Neighborhood Stabilization Program is branching out in all directions so that lower-income residents can become homeowners while reducing the number of abandoned and foreclosed homes in the housing market.
Martin County Housing Manager Don Cole said the county has had access to $1.52 million in federal housing money for renters and homebuyers since earlier this year, but found its hands tied and progress limited by grant restrictions that limit the money to a small portion of the county.
Now, local and federal officials have opened the program up to a much larger service area — from the county line at Jensen Beach to Bridge Road in Hobe Sound and Palm City near the turnpike.
"Originally the grant had been restricted to the Rio and Golden Gate communities," Cole said. "Within the last month, the Affordable Housing Advisory Committee, the Board of County Commissioners and the Department of Housing and Urban Development all agreed to expand the boundaries."
Unlike previous neighborhood stabilization programs, in which the county bought, renovated and sold abandoned or foreclosed houses, the current grant requires that people find the homes through a Realtor and then get county approval.
The buyer must qualify for a conventional primary mortgage, and then the program will provide up to $60,000 in financial assistance for the down payment, closing costs and home renovation.
HUD grant restrictions also require that the county set aside at least 25 percent of the money for very-low-income residents and those unable to qualify for a mortgage. The county housing department's goal is to purchase multifamily properties and turn them over to the Housing Authority of Stuart or Indiantown Non Profit Housing, Inc. for management.
Before winning HUD and County Commission approval to expand the program, Cole found his department unable to successfully compete against private investors.
"What we ran into with Golden Gate was that a lot of investors are buying multifamily properties, and my grant requires that I buy them at least 1 percent below appraisal value," he said. "We've made offers on two properties so far, but the other 18 we looked at had so many offers that they were being sold above appraised value."
That's why commissioners allowed the program expansion, Cole said.
The county is now reviewing its first contract under the expanded program from a prospective homebuyer hoping to buy a foreclosed home in Palm City, he said.
Vicky Yatsko is a real estate agent with the Monarch Realty Group of Palm City who's been helping the county with affordable housing since it received its first Neighborhood Stabilization program grant. Yatsko says a shrinking housing inventory in the Golden Gate area led to Cole's difficulty in the multifamily housing market.
"When you start competing for multiple family homes at $100,000 or less, you're competing with investors as soon as the listings come up," she said. "They're snapping them up, and they're not lasting."
Yatsko was elated to hear that the county had won approval to expand the parameters of the current grant.
"It's really going to help this program," she said. "There are a lot of people out there who need to get into a home and now have the opportunity to buy something they couldn't afford a few years ago because of the prices and the higher interest rates. This help from Martin County will give more future homeowners the opportunity to buy something, and buy something they really like."

North East Kids Fishing Contest
Type: Tidal
Region: Northern
Location: North East
The Northern Bay Chapter of MSSA hosted another Kids Fishing Tournament on Saturday, June 25 at Northeast Community Park. The event was open for all kids sixteen and under; parents were invited to join the fun, but the prizes were reserved for kids. Thirteen kids signed up and fished the contest from 9 to 11 am.
The species of fish caught during the contest included white perch, pumpkinseed sunfish, bluegills, bullheads, and channel catfish. Most kids were using worms, corn, minnows, or chicken liver for bait. For the second year in a row, Bradley McDowell (age 13), caught the largest fish, with a 21 inch channel catfish, caught on a chicken liver. Other notable catches were Ross Adkins with a 17 inch channel catfish, Mason Newton with a 12 inch largemouth bass, Madalyn Wilkinson with a white perch, Mason Wilkinson with a bluegill, and Hayleanna Burkins with perch and sunfish. The brother and sister team of Sean and Juliet Munis checked in a pair of pumpkinseed sunfish.
The top prize winners from each of the three youth divisions (longest fish in inches) won fishing rods and reel combos and fishing tool kits from the MSSA-Northern Bay chapter.
Ross Adkins (age 13) won the raffle at the end of the event and was selected by MD DNR Fisheries Biologist Erik Zlokovitz to represent Northern Bay Chapter of MSSA at the Grand Finale of the Maryland Fishing Challenge and Diamond Jim Contest at Sandy Point State Park in September. Nine youth anglers signed up for the new MD DNR Youth Fishing Club.

drama movie. Phyllis Dietrichson (Barbara Stanwyck) lures the hapless and morally weak insurance salesman Walter Neff (Fred MacMurray) into a plot to murder her husband and collect his life insurance. As usual with femme fatales, she doesn't actually have Neff's best interests at heart and the plot plays out with sadistic and almost unbearable suspense.
"The Big Sleep"
One of the things that makes femme fatales so dangerous is it's not easy to identify them as such in the early going. So it is with Mary Astor in "The Maltese Falcon" who presents herself as a quasi-damsel in distress hiring private detective Sam Spade (Bogart again) to find her missing sister. It soon becomes apparent that she has much more insidious purposes in mind, involving a certain priceless jewel-encrusted falcon.
"Basic Instinct"
Not all femme fatale movies come from the 1940s. One of the best ones came around in the not-too-distant past of 1991. Her name is Catherine Tramell (Sharon Stone) and brought the femme fatale to new heights of violence and explicit sexuality. Unlike the other femme fatales on this list, Tramell is a straight-up serial killer who seduces men, kills them and manipulates her way out of the consequences. Or is she? You have to watch the movie to find out, but it's indisputable that death follows her around just like the femme fatales of old.
These four femme fatale movies are only a sample of what you'll find if you continue to study the femme fatale in movies. Women who know how to hurt men are a common theme in films, both '40s noir and elsewhere.

Offshore drilling in hurricane central… with no insurance
August 26 2009 | Oil Pollution, Jim's Blog,
by Jim
A good example of this is can be seen in Friedman pointing out global ramifications in pithy campaign hooks.
This morning on a deep page in the WSJ I scanned this story.
The opening line hooked me...
"Many energy companies are facing the late-blooming Gulf Coast hurricane season without insurance against storm damage to their offshore platforms, pipelines and drilling rigs."
I'm guessing most people think energy companies are insured. It is assumed. If that wasn't the case, how could it be possible that we're having a national dialogue on making it law for all people to have health insurance, yet NOT have energy companies operating in the middle of a hurricane zone without insurance?
Ok, let me bring this back into focus... let me tell you why this is smack dab in the center of our mission.
Hurricane Katrina hit New Orleans and we all saw the on-land destruction streaming non-stop to our screens. Meanwhile, there were 4,000 offshore oil platforms - and 34,000 miles of pipeline on the seafloor that were also hit.
Then, Hurricane Rita hit. Again we were focused, righty so, on the human tragedy. But we should also be aware that 7-9 million gallons of oil spilled from damaged pipelines, refineries and storage tanks. Here's an image that depicts the extent of that damage.
Hurricane Ike yielded carnage as well. 500,000 barrels of oil into the Gulf. Heck, we even LOST an oil rig... these aren't exactly small pieces of equipment. Losing a rig? Think about that for a second... it must have been a very, very serious storm to take an entire rig out to the extent that they can't even find it.
In the months that followed, the US government and industry representatives repeatedly claimed no "significant" spills in the Gulf. If one is just channel surfing they don't pick up on the subjective definition of "significant." Here is the government report on the damage. Here is the summary:
- 113 platforms totally destroyed
- 457 pipelines damaged (101 of those major lines with 10" or larger diameter)
- 743,000 gallons were spilled from 124 reported sources
- Image of damage here
To summarize.
- Offshore drilling is risky. In the Gulf, where it is most prevalent in the United States, it is so risky that insurance companies have raised their rates in order to deliver appropriate coverage.
- Insurance rates for offshore drilling in the Gulf are so high that many companies are choosing to not have coverage. This makes them increasingly exposed.
- Hurricanes are a known, ongoing threat to offshore drilling. Ongoing damage assesments are notable. Damage to our coastal waters is high.
- In the end, consumers will foot the bill via higher fuel prices for failures in this industry due to hurricanes.
- This issue is worth following, we have a blog devoted this subject. You can access that here.

Event Summary
Software (www.frxsoftware.com)
is a prominent provider of financial analytic applications to mid-market and
corporate businesses. FRx has largely remained on its established track after
being acquired first by one of its erstwhile greatest partners (former Great
Plains Software) in 2000, and particularly after its new owner subsequently
ended up under Microsoft's roof in 2001 (see Microsoft
And Great Plains - A Friendship That Turned Into A Marriage) to finally
become a part of Microsoft Business Solutions (MBS).
appears that the truly differentiating traits of the group of products recently
renamed Microsoft Business Solutions for Analytics, have established
the FRx financial reporting application as arguably a de facto financial analysis
and reporting standard in the mid-market. This fact has also convinced Microsoft
to continue to enhance the product for its loyal customer base and resellers,
many of whom ironically belong to MBS's fierce competitors. Its flagship product,
Microsoft Business Solutions for AnalyticsFRx (formerly FRx
Financial Reporter), is used by more than 115,000 sites worldwide,
primarily in the mid-market segment, to help them with financial reporting processes.
Thus, the "if you can't beat them, join them" adage might be best described
by FRx Software's continued autonomous operation despite changing owners twice
during the last few years.
This is Part Two of a four-part note.
Part One discussed the event.
Three will continue the market impact and detail vendor challenges.
Four will cover competitors and make user recommendations.
Market Impact
FRx Software has had more than an interesting voyage since its inception in
1989 when its first product was developed and commercialized. At that time,
the company's strategy was to create a product that would empower financial
professionals to develop financial reports without necessarily requesting the
services of external programmers or IT staffers. The former Platinum Software
(now Epicor) and IBM were both the first customers of FRx Software and the exclusive
distributors for the erstwhile product. In 1993 Platinum Software
purchased FRx Software and became its exclusive distributor before divesting
FRx in 1994. FRx Software was re-founded and established more than thirty strategic
partner-distributor relationships, most of which are still very much active.
As mentioned earlier, both Great Plains and then MBS have continued to act as one of FRx Software's most powerful resellers to the mid-market, ever since acquiring it in March 2000. In early 2003, FRx Software aligned itself more directly with the parent company, Microsoft Corporation, and became known as FRx Software Corporation, a Microsoft company and a part of MBS. FRx Software is headquartered in Denver, CO, with consulting offices located across the US, and an international presence established with its partner assistance centers in Australia, Singapore, and the UK. Our estimate is that FRx Software nowadays also contributes around 5 percent of the total MBS revenues of ~$550 million.
While ERP and accounting back-office systems and analytics have been inseparable ever since the idea of business automation via IT way back in the 1960s, they have nonetheless had different user experiences, evolutionary paths, and so on. Namely, although ERP systems have positively transformed many enterprises' business processes, many users have still been left feeling as oversold to, due to the overwhelming notion that these systems inhibit access to the vital information jailed' in them. Many will have inevitably felt that mixing real-time back-office transactions with astute reporting is like mixing oil and water.
a detailed discussion of how financial reporting, budgeting, and planning are
a cornerstone of enterprise performance management (EPM), see Financial
Reporting, Planning & Budgeting As Necessary Pieces Of EPM.
Business intelligence (BI) and analytics provide an environment in which business users receive information that is reliable, consistent, understandable, and easily manipulated (i.e., flexible). Therefore, C-level executives and middle management have always had a need to understand their business' performance regardless of good or bad economic times—while the output from BI might change, the need is always there. New disclosure rules are prompting companies to share information faster (for example, accelerated filling of 10Q quarterly statements and 10K annual reports, reporting sales of stock by executives [insider trading] within days of the transaction, expanded lists of "significant events" to include changes in debt ratings, inclusion of financial results of partnerships in earnings reports), and sophisticated data-collection and data-analysis applications come in handy in that regard.
The creation, maintenance, and dissemination or publishing of financial statements (for example, profit and loss [P&L] statements, balance sheets, and cash flow reports) have traditionally been maintenance-intensive tasks, with users expending significant effort just to meet basic requirements. Not to mention that everyone amongst the top brass always wants something more, such as different views, complex comparative reports, and drill-down analyses, but still all within the familiar form of the financial statements. Unfortunately, the financial reporting programs delivered with the traditional back-office financial management and accounting applications have proven only their rudimentary or pesky nature. Consequently, financial savvy users, having a strong preference to see results in the traditional P&L statement or balance sheet form, have long sought for ways to improve the report creation and maintenance process. On the other hand, the formatting and calculation constraints of the above statements, which require user-defined sorting and grouping, have also been nearly impossible for generalist BI providers to fully accomplish.
the above reasons, FRx Software has been in the right place at the right time
to establish an enviable market position as a slick financial reporting engine
for a variety of different financial software packages. An army of accountants,
financial managers and business analysts has been infatuated with the product.
Most ERP products have a rich database but translating the data stored within
the database to information useful for making enterprise decisions has proven
difficult. With the availability of FRx Software's analytic solutions, several
dozen ERP providers can provide their customers with a valuable tool for harvesting
the business value out of their database. The list of current back-office solutions
whose GLs have been integrated with FRx is impressive, and the following are
just some of the more prominent ones: Advanced Data Systems;
Best Software; Epicor Software; Expandable Software;
Flexi International; Geac Enterprise Solutions;
IQMS; Made2Manage Systems; MAPICS;
McKesson; Ross Systems; Softrax Corporation;
and naturally MBS Great Plains, Solomon, and Axapta
(integration with Navision is under way).
MBS for Analytics
for Analytics FRx (formerly FRx Financial Reporter), with its spreadsheet-like
interface, can also consolidate financial data from disparate accounting systems
even if they use different code structures, fiscal years, or server sites. By
pulling information already set up in the GL, the product automatically understands
the fiscal periods, chart of accounts, detail transactions and various types
of balances. Due to built-in accounting intelligence, it even recognizes concepts
such as current and year-to-date amounts, debit versus credit balances, positive
and negative variances, and posted and un-posted transactions. Furthermore,
users can leverage the rows, columns, and formulas that they may have created
in Excel and import the information with all data intact, directly into FRx.
The key tenets of FRx's flexibility have been the following three building blocks:
addition to the on-the-fly report creation option, application servers provide
report scheduling and automatic e-mail report distribution. Using one of many
customizable report templates, users can often get started creating relevant
financial reports right away, using the building-block approach and auto-build
functionality, without much help from IT resources or other technically-minded
personnel. To that end, the FRx Report Designer module allows
users to create, view, distribute, and manage financial reports from their desktop.
Point-and-click capabilities let users extend their analyses and access to reports
by exporting them to a variety of traditional or graphical output options, including:
Excel or other spreadsheet, ASCII, FRx DrillDown Viewer, Microsoft
OLAP cube, or XBRL, and via a selected delivery method. Customized fonts, formatting,
and formulas remain with the report when it is exported from FRx to other formats,
which preserves presentation quality and functionality of the original report.
These reports can be posted to the Web or be sent via e-mail to be accessed
immediately by on-site and off-site users alike; a connection to the GL is not
Report Launcher is the module that helps users select pre-designed
reports, specify the output option and generate the needed reports as required.
Through the above-mentioned FRx DrillDown Viewer module, users and even authorized
trading partners can often answer their own questions about the data by "drilling
down" all the way to the transaction detail level, perform necessary analysis,
and make better, more informed decisions. Because security rights are predefined
at the reporting tree level, each recipient can access only the information
that is appropriate to his or her viewing rights. Thus, users can make important,
proactive decisions to address the economic highs and lows, without having to
wait until the books are closed. Financial reports of all types can be called
up from the Report Catalog, automatically updated with the
most current information, generated using a variety of traditional or graphical
output options, then distributed to decision makers over the Web or through
e-mail to facilitate the timely analysis that today's turbulent market demands.
modules include: FRx Report Server, which allows users to schedule
reports for automatic generation and distribution; FRx WebView,
which allows users to publish, store and manage FRx reports over the Web; FRx
WebPort, which offers publishing non-FRx reports, such as Excel spreadsheets,
PowerPoint presentations and Word documents
to the Web; and FRx instant!OLAP, which generates Microsoft
SQL Server Analysis Services OLAP cubes as an additional method of
exporting data from FRx. Last but not least, the product offers currency translation
as an add-on component for organizations that might need it. The module allows
entries made in the GL's home currency to be translated into specific currencies
for reporting purposes.
product also comes in different editions. The FRx 6.5 Desktop
edition is best suited for companies that have multiple departments and cost
centers, have multiple companies with consolidation requirements, or maintain
budgets in spreadsheets. Generation occurs on a local workstation with the ability
to distribute reports via the organization's network or via e-mail.
FRx 6.5 Professional edition however, is targeted to companies
that have a large number of reports to process on a daily basis or at month-end,
have a large number of users who generate and review reports, need a Web-based
storage and report distribution mechanism, or a need to create OLAP cubes for
additional analysis. It comprises all the functionality of the desktop edition,
plus FRx WebView, FRx Report Server (one instance only), and FRx instant!OLAP.
FRx Enterprise 6.5 edition is the third application rounding
out the product suite. It gives companies the flexibility to create the most
efficient solution for complex, distributed reporting requirements with a large
transaction volume. With the enterprise edition, companies can automate procedures
unique to their business environments to give them more control over consolidations,
statutory reporting, budgeting and analysis. It comprises all the functionality
of the professional edition, plus FRx Report Server (four instances) and FRx
of the above features apparently were implemented in release 6.5 in 2002 with
the aim of helping customers streamline report generation and distribution on
the FRx Report Server, increasing options when using the Web, support for XBRL
enhanced usability of OLAP output, and allowing for more complex currency translation
scenarios. Version 6.7, which is slated for early 2004, should feature a new
module called FRx Report Manager, support for XBRL 2.0, ability
to export directly to Excel graphs, OLAP output from Report Designer, and so
Expanding the Opportunity
FRx Software is known for its reporting and analysis tool that interfaces directly
with nearly fifty mid-market accounting package vendors, the company had to
further expand its opportunities. Namely, despite FRx instant!OLAP, which contains
predefined interfaces that extract data out of accounting systems and then populate
Hyperion Essbase and Microsoft Analyses Services OLAP cubes
(the capability which is coming out in version 6.7), until now FRx was readily
available only to those ERP products whose purveyors had a partnership in place
with either FRx or with one of its VARs.
The idea behind the new Integration Designer product was to make it possible for VARs to avail the prospects with FRx Software's products regardless of the existence of a partnership. To that end, a VAR will supposedly have the initial interface with Integration Designer and will configure scripts created by Data Integrator to make them specific to the GL in place. Using Data Refresher, the VAR may then run the scripts that will be distributed to the customers—the FRx' end users. The VARs will nevertheless have to posses a sound knowledge of Microsoft SQL Server, of a scripting language, and general knowledge of relational databases including the GL database.
Namely, despite many commonalities, every GL has its own fingerprint uniqueness. To illustrate, MBS Solomon (a product that features a built-in version of the FRx Desktop and Forecaster) GL account and sub-account numbers can be up to thirty characters in length, whereby the main account number can be up to ten characters, and the remaining twenty characters can include up to eight user-defined segments. GL transactions can be entered using several types of transaction batches, including non-recurring, recurring, manual, and one-sided adjustment, and the GL account determines whether the transaction will operate in multi- or single-company mode. Transactions can be entered for any prior fiscal period or year as well as for future periods, which allows for things such as installments and prepayments to be managed at a single time rather than month after month.
On the other hand, MBS Navision's (where the integration is slated for Navision some time in 2004/2005) chart of accounts lets users define an unlimited number of "dimensions" and "dimension values" at any time. A dimension is data that users can add to an entry as a kind of marker so that the program can group entries with similar characteristics and retrieve these groups for analysis purposes. Dimensions are not limited to the GL accounts, since they can be set on all master records stored in the database such as customers, vendors, items, fixed assets, and so on. Dimension values are sub-units of dimensions. For example, a dimension called department can have sub-units such as sales, administration, and so forth. This is a powerful concept and tool, allowing nearly unlimited configurations to meet a company's needs and business processes, but it will certainly present some challenges to the integration to FRx.

text: Born and raised in Stoughton on the South Shore of Massachusetts, just a stone's throw from where she now lives, writes, and raises her kids, Lori McKenna is an exceptional example of how some songwriters just naturally seem to find their way to the homespun sound of a strummed acoustic guitar, an honest voice and a touch of twang. While McKenna grew up listening to the radio music of her day - the Cure's "Just Like Heaven" remains one of her favorite songs to cover - the music she penned at her kitchen table, after the kids had been sent off to school, has drawn more immediate comparisons. Described as "a more buzz-worthy sister to Australian newcomer Kasey Chambers", Lori has also garnered comparisons to artists ranging from Natalie Maines (Dixie Chicks) and Patty Griffin, to Nanci Griffith, and Alanis Morissette. National Public Radio says "More than any young songwriter on the scene today her songs carry that stirring blend of stark intimacy and universality that has always marked the folk form at its finest. The life and love in her songs is so palpably real, so recognizable, there is real healing in them."

On Sundays in the winter, I love dishes that sit and simmer on the stove or in the oven for a long period of time. They make the house smell wonderful and if I get them going early enough, cooking dinner doesn't interfere with Sunday football!
I found this recipe on, where else, Cooking Light and made it for dinner this past Sunday. Everyone loved it. Along with a tossed salad and some fresh bread it made for a great meal and I finally got to use two acorn squash that I got from the CSA a few weeks ago.
Chicken Cassoulet with Acorn Squash
The squash-and-bean mixture (paragraphs 1 and 2 in the method) can be prepared a day ahead of time; cover and refrigerate though I didn't do this.
1 tablespoon stick margarine or butter
2 cups chopped onion, divided
2 garlic cloves, minced
1/2 cup dry Marsala or apple cider
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
3/4 teaspoon dried thyme, divided
3/4 teaspoon black pepper, divided
1/2 teaspoon salt, divided
1/2 teaspoon dried basil
1 (14.5-ounce) can diced tomatoes with basil, garlic, and oregano
2 cups water
2 cups diced peeled acorn squash
1 cup diced carrot
2 (15-ounce) cans Great Northern beans, drained
1 pound skinned, boned chicken breast
2 bacon slices
1/2 pound smoked turkey sausage, cut into 1/4-inch slices
Melt margarine in a large ovenproof Dutch oven over medium heat. Add 1 cup onion and garlic, and sauté for 5 minutes. Add Marsala, parsley, 1/4 teaspoon thyme, 1/4 teaspoon pepper, 1/4 teaspoon salt, basil, and tomatoes; bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, covered, 10 minutes. Spoon into a bowl; set aside.
Combine 1/4 teaspoon salt, 2 cups water, squash, and carrot in pan, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat, and simmer, partially covered, 30 minutes or until the vegetables are tender. Partially mash the beans with a potato masher, and add beans and tomato mixture to pan. Cook over medium-low heat 30 minutes or until thick. Remove from heat.
Preheat oven to 325°.
Rub chicken with 1/2 teaspoon thyme and 1/2 teaspoon pepper; set aside. Cook bacon in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat until crisp. Remove bacon from pan; crumble bacon, and set aside. Add chicken to bacon drippings in pan; cook 3 minutes on each side or until browned. Remove chicken from skillet; cut into 1-inch pieces. Add 1 cup onion and sausage to skillet; sauté 5 minutes or until lightly browned. Add the chicken, crumbled bacon, and sausage mixture to bean mixture in pan, stirring to combine.
Cover and bake at 325° for 1 hour. Uncover and bake an additional 30 minutes.

I am confused too. What corn bread. How did all you others make it ignoring the corn bread?flag if inappropriate
I want to make this recipe but I am confused...it says to cut corn bread into 1" cubes...what corn bread? and how much?flag if inappropriate
Served this last weekend as a side dish, it was truly to-die-for. Although many steps, it was easy to make and very tasty. Everyone had seconds. I did add a bit extra buttermilk, as it seemed a bit dry, and the dish turned out moist (but not soggy) and very rich.flag if inappropriate
I am a cook at the KAPPA SIGMA football fraternity at HOBART COLLEGE in NEW YORK. I came across this recipe and thought the guys would like it. Like it? I have to fix this dish with grilled chicken served with the roasted red pepper sauce that was grouped with this reipe in the book. Awesome ! Awesome!!Three times a month I am asked to cook this meal.flag if inappropriate
I made this dish last Christmas for our Christmas dinner and will be making it again this year! It is good as a side dish or could stand alone with a salad. I agree that it is even better the next day.flag if inappropriate
This was absolutely delicious - I didn't have the spicy Monterey Jack - so I just added some hot sauce - and WOW - was it amazing!!! The corn bread is REALLY easy to make and is delicious just one it's own or with a bowl of soup!flag if inappropriate
Great recipe for a party. Yes, I did add extra buttermilk, another 1/2 cup, extra enchilada sauce, another egg, and extra green onions. I think it needs to be made a day ahead for all the flavors to blend.flag if inappropriate
After you add the extra egg and buttermilk- this is just delicious. I'll be making it again and again.flag if inappropriate
This one's a keeper. After reading the reviews I went ahead and added an additional 1/2 c buttermilk and 1 egg, which I whisked together and then poured over the top of the pudding after it was already in the baking dish. It came out perfectly. This would be a great dish to serve for Thanksgiving or Christmas!flag if inappropriate

Does the " All Rounder" exist?

Does the "all rounder" exist?
Looking for a bike suitable for commuting, touring with racks & panniers etc some lightish off road and that won't look out of place on sportives too. Does this bike actually exist? If so what do you recommend? Thinking on the lines of specialised tricross. Any good?
Genesis Croix de Fer will quite happily do all of the above and more.

A Boardman Cross? I bought mine (a Boardman CX Pro 2011) after working on a Specialized Tricross whilst doing my cycle maintenance course, and not liking the inerts in the forks. My Boardman has served as a commuter here in Rome (...you think you have potholes in the UK?), did the Gran Fondo do Roma on it, full day jaunts on it in Lazio and Umbria, including Strada Bianca. yet to tour on it, but have mounted rear rack on it with no problems.

The Condor Fratello was made for exactly the purpose you describe. Mine has a rack and panniers on the rear and does 150-200 miles a week of commuting plus winter rides and sportives with the rack removed. I've ridden on some horrible Sustrans paths with it and intend to do the Rapha Hell of the North on it in a few weeks time. It's a really great bike.
Ah! Condor

No, the 'all rounder' doesn't really exist - you'll have to compromise somewhere. Get a sportive type bike that could take wider tyres and rack if speed is the priority, get a tourer if touring is the priority! I don't think a cyclocross bike is it either, since you didn't mention that in your post..

I have been using a base model Specialized Tricross through the winter, with the 'dodgy' carbon fork (mine is fine)and have come to respect it for its comfort and rideability; only a couple of kph slower than my Giant Defy 2 on 1 hour plus rides; ideal for things like round the Isle of Wight and mixed terrain Sportives I would think

A single-wheel trailer could allow a bike that is suitable for all your needs except touring to perform that duty too. It can be unhitched while on tour, giving you a lightweight bike to go on off-road or climbing detours. Or you could use it at home to do the weekly shop. And most hitch up to a mount point integrated into, or held in place by, the rear wheel quick release, so don't interfere with disc brakes (although hub brakes could be a problem.)
It is a sizeable extra expense, especially since Edinburgh Bicycle Co-op seem to have stopped selling their cheap BOB-a-like. Perhaps the cheapest option, if you already have a spare wheel and pannier bags, is the Extrawheel, which probably also puts the least strain on a road bike's lightly-built rear wheel.

Thanks for all the advice guys. Like the look of the Croix de Fer and the Tricross. Condor looks great but out of my budget ! Ok then. Genesis or Specalized?

Condor. My friend bought his in 1993, it still runs perfectly. If you spend the extra money wisely it's an excellent investment. Remember that you'll get a fitting from a professional when you buy the bike and your choice a of components so no need to retro fit a stem, saddle, other contact points or wheels after you've made the purchase.
Ah! Condor

Must say i'm pretty happy with my Croix de fee. Last year I cycled to paris and toured 7 days in Devon and Cornwall, rode a few charity rides, and rode to work almost every day for the whole year and did the Rapha superross on it.
I do feel the weight a little after now buying a nice lightweight road bike but with a brooks b17 on it its like sitting on a cloud, but still with a turn of pace when needed.
Had to replace the rear hub but got a hope evo pro now for trouble re running.
Truly a swiss army bike

America's Cup where? Wings on GodzillaOn the street all is quiet on the America's Cup with various meetings underway, some already labelled inconclusive, in New York to try to resolve the impasse ahead of New York Supreme Court 's Justice Shirley Kornreich 'going arbitrary' on the venue, in a written decision expected next Wednesday. At that time too, the other matters raised by Kornreich just over a week ago should also be resolved.
While the offer of an eastern Australian venue was made by Societe Nautique de Geneve, with Geelong, Southport, Hervey Bay and Hamilton Island all keen to play, tho' only Southport seems to meet the critera of open water, with the infrastructure to make it happen,(we spoke to the Gold Coast City Mayor and SYC Commodore on Friday night), it seems very likely that Valencia will be the venue - by mutual agreement or not.
Today Sail-World has more images of the broken $10 million dollar mast and the first images of Godzilla's rigid wing, not quite the size of two 747 wings!! A kind of Macquarie Yellow Pages - all growed up!!
With the season approaching for all the Class Nationals- please ensure YOUR Class or Association PR person know how to submit event/regatta/class/boat news by Clicking Here
We'd love a preview, daily reports and a wrap - we do need at least one landscape image, but why stop at one, we want three at least 1280px wide.
There's a new big icon on the home page of www.sail-world.com to make it even easier for them.
Many thanks for your help and input, we're here to help sailing, and help those who wish to help themselves. Remember there is NO reason for your class and its sponsors not getting to our audience.
We average around 13,000 readers a day, this month we will hit 180,000 individual readers!!!
Good sailing!

Tuna with Olives and Capers
- Active Time 20m
- Total Time 20m
Serves 6
At one time tuna, because of its strong, distinctive taste, was cooked with a variety of spices, raisins, pine nuts, and even honey and sugar. Nowadays these strong flavors are replaced by lighter tastes - capers or olives, for example, giving a more Mediterranean flavor.
- 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
- 6 fresh tuna steaks, about 6 oz each
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh basil
- 1 tablespoon capers, drained
- 3 ounces green olives, pitted and sliced
- 1 pound ripe tomatoes, peeled and chopped
- 1/4 cup dry bread crumbs
- Pinch of dried oregano
- Salt and freshly ground pepper
Heat the oil in a deep skillet. Add the tuna steaks and brown for a few minutes in the hot oil. Scatter on the basil, capers, olives, tomatoes, breadcrumbs, oregano, some salt and a good quantity of ground pepper. Continue cooking for another 10 minutes, then serve.

- Broncos' depth chart crowded at safety, with Quinton Carter, Jim Leonhard back
The phrase "most in history" is a fairly powerful set of words in and around the NFL.
Good or bad, up or down, "most in history" are those remember-when things with players, coaches, teams and all of the people around them.
And as the Broncos inch toward their first regular season with Peyton Manning at quarterback, it's worth noting that while Manning is indeed still the new guy to the Rocky Mountain region, he does bring plenty of "most in history" with him.
Things like:
• His four MVP awards are, yes, most in NFL history.
• He is the only player in NFL history with 11 4,000-yard passing seasons. He didn't throw for 4,000 yards as a rookie in 1998, and he didn't throw for 4,000 yards in 2005.
Blog: First-and-Orange
The Denver Post's NFL reporters post analysis, notes and more on this blog focusing on the Denver Broncos.
In '05, he was still so efficient with 3,747 passing yards and 28 touchdowns, his team finished 14-2. Just by comparison, while those 3,747 yards passing rank 12th among Manning's 13 seasons behind center, it would still be the seventh-highest, single-season passing total in Broncos franchise history.
• He is the first quarterback in league history to throw for at least 3,000 yards in each of his first 13 seasons in the league.
• Manning has had 22 career games with at least four passing touchdowns. He needs one more four-touchdown game to tie Brett Favre for most in league history.
• Manning has thrown for at least 300 yards in a game 63 times in his career. The next time he does it he will break his current tie for the all-time lead with Hall of Famer Dan Marino.
(Drew Brees is roaring up the charts with 57 career 300-yard passing games in his 11 seasons).
• As a starting quarterback, Manning's 11 seasons of at least 10 wins are also a record.
• With one more Pro Bowl selection — he has 11, tied with Brett Favre — he will set a new record for quarterbacks.
What does it mean?
It means other than the guy who signed him — John Elway — Manning is already the most accomplished NFL player to suit up for the Broncos.
It means the players in their locker room believe they have a chance at bigger things than division titles.
Or as Champ Bailey has put it, "Oh yeah, you've got to believe when you have a guy like Peyton. He automatically gives you a chance to win every game you play, no matter where you play it, no matter when you play it."
Until the Broncos play games that count in the standings, until Manning is sacked, gets back up and throws the next pass down the field without any issues, there will be some who still openly wonder why the Broncos did all they did to bring the future Hall of Famer to Denver.
He is 36 years old. He is in his 15th season. He missed last season after multiple neck surgeries. All of that is indeed true.
But so is the other side. Manning has not missed a snap of practice in training camp. He has performed well with all eyes grading every throw, looking for the slightest bobble, the smallest sign, that the Broncos took too big a risk to trade Tim Tebow and bring Manning to Dove Valley.
Still, in talking to many of his new teammates about what they've seen on the field and in the meeting rooms up to the team's second preseason game, it's clear they believe it is Manning's history that makes their football futures look pretty good.
