My definition of a casserole is a combination of foods that are cooked together slowly in an oven in the dish/pot that will be used for serving. As a cooking method, it was derived from the ancient practice of slowly stewing meat in earthenware containers.
Cabbage is one of our oldest vegetables and continues to be a dietary staple and a fairly inexpensive food. It is easy to grow, tolerates the cold and is rich in vitamin C and fiber.
Just cut up some fresh cabbage, sprinkle it with lemon and enjoy it as a mid-day snack. Or, use it with your favorite tossed salad or pasta dish; or, my favorite, make some fresh cabbage soup.
Almost every morning, millions of Americans reach for that cup of "Joe" to help wake up. At our house, it sometimes takes two pots to be able to speak or think clearly.
Not only is coffee the beverage of choice for most Americans to help jump start their days, but when consumed in moderation, coffee also has many health benefits.
It's not just for drinking anymore. With its strong, earthy, slightly bitter flavor, coffee can help to create complex flavors and add those flavors to many different dishes.
Ice cream is made by mixing cream, sugar and flavorings (like chocolate or strawberry) and then carefully lowering the mixture's temperature until it sets. Using salt to help control the temperature of the ingredients, along with the invention of the home ice cream freezer, was a major breakthrough in creating ice cream as we now know it.
Few of us have the time to make fresh pasta at home, except maybe for a special occasion. Most of the time, it's just commercially prepared dry pasta out of a box. But when properly cooked, good quality commercially prepared pasta can taste just as good as making it at home.
Cooking pasta is as easy as boiling water, but it does require a little care. Use about a quart of water per quarter pound of pasta, or six quarts per pound. The pasta will be become slightly gummy if you don't use enough water.
I was born and raised in Canton, Ohio, home of the Pro Football Hall of Fame. Growing up in northeastern Ohio, I soon learned there was only one sport played in that area—football. From the sandlots, to Pee-Wee League, to Junior League, to high school, to college, to pro football…football was and still is king.
My wife, Karen, and I were married in May 1966 and we (she) raised two football players (what else?), Sean and Aaron, and called Akron, Ohio, our home until retiring to southeastern coastal North Carolina in 2001.
Steak Diane was popular back in the '50s and '60s at most of the fancy restaurants, but this fabulous dish can easily be made at home.
I prefer using strip steaks pounded down to about one-half inch thick, if needed. If you prefer, tenderloin also works well.
This week, I thought I would post some of my favorite recipes and one that seems to be a favorite, or at least the most requested, by readers.
Even though it's a relatively easy recipe with few ingredients (only one, if you don't count salt and pepper), the baking temperature and time still seem to be a puzzlement. We're talking about cooking a beef eye of round in the oven.
Whenever you can't think of what to prepare for your evening meal, do you instinctively grab the phone to order some Chinese take-out food? If you do, why not try making some Chinese take-out at home? It's a lot easier to prepare than you might think.
You don't need a lot of special cookware or fancy ingredients to prepare some great Chinese food. Just use items you already have in your pantry. You don't even need to own a wok. Just use any frying pan (the deeper the better). If you do own a wok, all the better.
Use items in your pantry
From time to time, we all have allowed food to become burnt, overcooked, over-seasoned or just simply allowed to go bad before even using it. For most of us, mistakes do happen. Sometimes we just pitch the results and start all over again. Other times, we're just stuck with whatever is currently smoldering in the pan, but all is not lost.

Most of the narratives associated with legendary Nirvana frontman Kurt Cobain are steeped in tragedy: He was painfully self-conscious about selling out, suffered from a debilitating undiagnosed stomach ailment, struggled with drugs, and ultimately took his own life, leaving an infant daughter behind.
But all those tales came after Nirvana became the biggest band in the world following the overwhelming success of 1991's Nevermind. There are plenty of stories to be told about the band prior to its ascendence, when they were just another loud bunch of punk kids from Seattle making noise because it was fun.
One of those narratives arises in Experiencing Nirvana, a new ebook (available Tuesday, November 13) featuring photos and recollections by Bruce Pavitt, who co-founded Sub Pop Records, Nirvana's original label. The book centers around a series of pictures taken by Pavitt over the course of an eight-day run across Europe in the fall of 1989.
Nirvana was on the road with fellow Sub Poppers Tad, both of whom were on a collision course with Mudhoney as part of the label-curated Lamefest UK at London's Astoria Theatre. The show ended up being a definitive moment for Nirvana; they managed to capture the attention of the taste-making British music press, an accomplishment that built buzz exponentially and started a domino effect that eventually led to the hugeness of Nevermind.
Pavitt's photos, taken on the fly with a pocket-sized Olympus, reveal a would-be superstar still in development. Though the tour was brief, there was still plenty of time for intrigue. "Within the first six hours of my arrival to meet them in Rome, the band was going to break up," Pavitt tells EW. "Two days later Kurt's passport got stolen, and we had to find him a new guitar because he kept breaking them. It's an epic micro-history."
Most importantly, Experiencing Nirvana finds Cobain free of the burden of fame that would plague him only a few years later. "I think Kurt's death is very traumatizing for a lot of people, and it was hard for me to even listen to the music for a long time," admits Pavitt. "When I went through the pictures I realized they told a story, and it was a Nirvana story with a happy ending. I thought the world could use a Nirvana story with a happy ending."
Cast in point is the photo above, which was taken during an off day in Rome and features Cobain standing at the Coliseum. During the show the night before, Cobain climbed up on a speaker stack and threatened to jump. A few hours later, he decided to break up the band, only to be talked out of it by Pavitt and Sub Pop co-founder Jonathan Poneman. "There was definitely a sense of brotherhood and community," Pavitt said. "There was such an energy of support. You're with your friends, and you're not making any money, so there's no parasites coming after you for your cash. You're just with your brothers, making music, schooling people and getting schooled, and having fun for the most part. Touring is grueling, but you're also 22 years old and in Europe."

Today marks the 50th anniversary of the assassination of President John F. Kennedy. The 35th President of the United States, he was one of four presidents who have ever been assassinated while in office (the other three being Lincoln, McKinley and Garfield). He was shot and killed in a presidential motorcade in Dallas, Texas on November 22nd, 1963 at 12:30 pm.
To honor JFK and all of our fearless leaders of the United States since George Washington was inaugurated in 1789, we're posting a list of some of our best presidential titles to remind us all of the dedication these men put forth in their time leading our country.
Rest in Peace, Mr. President.
The Quotable Jefferson
Collected & Edited by John P. Kaminski
The Quotable Jefferson is the first book to put Jefferson's words in context with a substantial introduction, a chronology of Jefferson's life, the source of each quotation, an appendix identifying Jefferson's correspondents, and a comprehensive index. The main section of Jefferson quotations, which are arranged alphabetically by topic, is followed by three other fascinating sections of quotations: Jefferson on his contemporaries, his contemporaries on him, and Jefferson on himself.
Richard Nixon: Speeches, Writings, Documents
Edited and Introduced by Rick Perlstein
The first book to present America's most controversial president in his own words across his entire career, this unique collection of Richard Nixon's most important writings dramatically demonstrates why he has had such a profound impact on American life. This volume gathers everything from schoolboy letters to geostrategic manifestos and Oval Office transcripts to create a fascinating portrait of Nixon, one that is enriched by an extensive introduction in which Rick Perlstein puts forward a major reinterpretation of the thirty-seventh president's rise and fall.
Morning in America: How Ronald Reagan Invented the 1980's
By: Gil Troy
Did America's fortieth president lead a conservative counterrevolution that left liberalism gasping for air? The answer, for both his admirers and his detractors, is often "yes." In Morning in America, Gil Troy argues that the Great Communicator was also the Great Conciliator. His pioneering and lively reassessment of Ronald Reagan's legacy takes us through the 1980s in ten year-by-year chapters, integrating the story of the Reagan presidency with stories of the decade's cultural icons and watershed moments-from personalities to popular television shows.
The Presidency of George W. Bush: A First Historical Assessment
Edited by Julian E. Zelizer
The Presidency of George W. Bush brings together some of today's top American historians to offer the first in-depth look at one of the most controversial U.S. presidencies. Emotions surrounding the Bush presidency continue to run high–conservatives steadfastly defend its achievements, liberals call it a disgrace. This book examines the successes as well as the failures, covering every major aspect of Bush's two terms in office. It puts issues in broad historical context to reveal the forces that shaped and constrained Bush's presidency–and the ways his presidency reshaped the nation.
Reading Obama: Dreams, Hope, and the American Political Tradition (New in Paper)
By: James T. Kloppenberg
Reading Obama reveals the sources of Obama's commitment to democratic deliberation: the books he has read, the visionaries who have inspired him, the social movements and personal struggles that have shaped his thinking. Kloppenberg shows that Obama's positions on social justice, religion, race, family, and America's role in the world do not stem from a desire to please everyone but from deeply rooted–although currently unfashionable–convictions about how a democracy must deal with difference and conflict.
Presidential Leadership and the Creation of the American Era
By: Joseph S. Nye, Jr
Spanning multiple presidencies, this book examines the foreign policy decisions of the presidents who presided over the most critical phases of America's rise to world primacy in the twentieth century, and assesses the effectiveness and ethics of their choices. The book shows how transformational presidents like Wilson and Reagan changed how America sees the world, but argues that transactional presidents like Eisenhower and the elder Bush were sometimes more effective and ethical. It also draws important lessons for today's uncertain world, in which presidential decision making is more critical than ever.
The Presidential Difference: Leadership Style from FDR to Barack Obama (Third Edition)
By: Fred I. Greenstein
In The Presidential Difference, Greenstein provides a fascinating and instructive account of the presidential qualities that have served well and poorly in the Oval Office, beginning with Franklin D. Roosevelt's first hundred days. He surveys each president's political skill, vision, cognitive style, organizational capacity, ability to communicate, and emotional intelligence–and argues that the last is the most important in predicting presidential success. Throughout, Greenstein offers a series of bottom-line judgments on each of his 13 subjects as well as an overarching theory of why presidents succeed or fail.

Apple Inc. plans to spend more than $100 million next year on building Mac computers in the U.S., shifting a small portion of manufacturing away from China, the country that has handled assembly of its products for years.
"Next year we're going to bring some production to the U.S.," Chief Executive Officer Tim Cook said in an interview with Bloomberg Businessweek. "This doesn't mean that Apple will do it ourselves, but we'll be working with people and we'll be investing our money."
Apple, which until the late 1990s made and assembled many products in the U.S., moved manufacturing to Asia to take advantage of the region's lower labor costs. The planned investment makes up a sliver of Apple's $121.3 billion in cash, and probably won't meaningfully affect profit margins. Still, it reflects pressure on companies to create even a modest number of domestic jobs as the unemployment rate hovers near 8 percent and the economy rebounds from the recession that ended in 2009.
"I don't think we have a responsibility to create a certain kind of job," Cook said. "But I think we do have a responsibility to create jobs."
Cook discussed the investment plans in an interview that touched on his relationship with Apple co-founder Steve Jobs, the recent dismissal of senior executives and the company's competition with Samsung Electronics Co.
While Cook didn't outline where the manufacturing would happen or how much would be produced in the U.S., he said the company will work with partners and that the operations would include more than just final assembly.
Apple's shares rose 1.6 percent to $547.25 at the close in New York.
Creating Jobs
Many of the parts that go into the iPhone and iPad already are made in the U.S. This includes the display glass, which is made in Kentucky, Cook said.
Apple also has created jobs in the mobile-software industry through the introduction of the iPhone in 2007, which fueled an explosion in creation of applications, he said.
Besides building a new headquarters in Cupertino, California, Apple is working on a campus in Austin, Texas, Cook said. The company is building new data centers in Nevada and Oregon, while expanding an existing one in Maiden, North Carolina, he said.
Before shifting work abroad, Apple had handled manufacturing in such locations as as Elk Grove, California, near Sacramento, and Fountain, Colorado, near Colorado Springs.
Mac desktop and laptop computers -- once Apple's cornerstone -- have been dwarfed by the iPhone and iPad more recently. With sales of $23.2 billion on 18.2 million units last year, Macs accounted for just 15 percent of total revenue. The device is currently manufactured mostly in China.

== Why is Silk better than a webbrowser ==
== Why is Silk better than a webbrowser ==
The basic aim of project silk is to deeply integrate online content and communication into the desktop user experience.
The goal of Project Silk is deep coupling of the web with the user experience while overcoming limitations of the browser. "Freeing the Web From the Browser", so to say. Project Silk takes the opposite direction of Google's Chrome OS, instead of making the browser the Operating System, we integrate the content and the communication deeply into the desktop and application
Slogan: "Freeing the Web from the Browser", "A New User Interface (Face) for the Web"
During Akademy, there was much discussion and also already some code to make the webkit kpart ready for prime-time. A fully working, modern and integrated browser is one of the most important pillars of Project Silk. Konqueror will be using webkit, making it fully working with all major websites. Work on this is under way, but it needs to fly under the radar until it has enough momentum. Info about webkit in Konqueror: http://techbase.kde.org/Projects/WebKit
libweb provides the plumbing for applications to easily integrate content from the web by offering a KDE-style API. Think of Solid or Phonon, but for the web. libweb is not so much one library, but a collection of reusable components and sublibraries. It will be a library containing utility classes for integrating online content and services into KDE. Here are some ideas of things it could contain:
The challenge for libweb is to keep it smooth and well-structured. It would be too easy to just dump everything web-related in there, we need to think about how the whole thing should look like for developers.
Backends for the service APIs (public transport, online shopping, ...) we offer in libweb should be written in scripting languages for so far possible, so we can easily distribute and update them through GHNS, much like the comic plasma applet does with its per-site comic scriptlets.
The idea is to fly under the radar for some time. libweb will be started in a gitorious repo (richmoore has one). We try to get known people on board, but keep it silent on blogs and the web, the strategy would be "it's not top- secret, but no public fuzz for now either". Once we have the first bits in place, we announce it as the next multi-year vision for KDE and try to get everybody on board with a big PR splash. (Flying under the radar for a bit will help -- announcing vapourware wouldn't be cool, if we show that we've already some momentum, it'll work much better. Silk is very much a movement towards deep integration, not a one-off. We have the technologies in place to keep an edge over competitors, and we have the developer community in place to create small plugins to support a wide variety of (even local and niche) services.
(Spider)webs are made of it.

University of Missouri Extension has released a free app for iPhones, iPads and Android devices to help people easily identify weeds in the field, lawn or garden.
Kevin Bradley, MU Extension weed scientist, unveiled the app at the MU Crop Management Conference in December.
The app, called ID Weeds, has information on more than 400 plant species that could be encountered as weeds in crop fields, pastures, lawns, gardens or aquatic areas, Bradley said.
ID Weeds lets users narrow the list of suspects with a series of drop-down boxes for various plant characteristics. Don't worry if you're not familiar with technical terms such as "ligules" or "spatulate." For most characteristics, users can click on "what's this?" to see an illustration.
Clicking on "Identify" will produce a list of weeds that match the characteristics you've chosen. The more characteristics you specify, the shorter the list will be. Selecting a weed on the list brings up detailed information and one or more photographs.
You can also look up a weed by searching for its common or scientific name, or select from an alphabetical list, from "Alligatorweed" to "Yucca."
"Proper identification of weeds is important so that you choose an appropriate and cost-effective method of control," said Bradley, who is also an associate professor of plant sciences in the MU College of Agriculture, Food and Natural Resources.
The app was developed by James Meng, a programmer for MU Extension Technology and Computer Services.
ID Weeds is compatible with iPhone, iPod Touch and iPad running iOS 5.1 or later, and devices running Android 2.2 or later.
To download:
*Android: Search for "ID Weeds" at play.google.com/store.
A web version is available at weedID.missouri.edu.

All my encounters with temporary holiday help have been delightful. Perhaps their one failing has been that they have known the difference between happy bunnies and shoe boxes. Every time I say "nines", they show up with boxes of shoes. I wanted a happy bunny so much, but nooooo, all I got was boxes containing shoes. I am sorry that things have not gone so well for Chico and Zoey, but I would like to thank them for "sharezees". It is working out really well around here. I think I heard the OED included "selfie" this year. Well thanks to the bunns , next year will be better.

Happy Birthday, RG. You are so old now! And wise (sort of). And ... I speak for all the buns and KB when I say "We wish you a Happy Birthday, We wish you a Happy Birthday ..." (music is like a Xmas song, but it's really a birthday song and original.) Much Love, BL

The use of TCP port 445 in Windows 2000
Among the new ports used by Windows 2000 is TCP port 445. In this paper we will look at what this port is used for, and how it relates to the security in Windows 2000.
SMB over TCP vs. SMB over NBT
The SMB (Server Message Block) protocol is used among other things for file sharing in Windows NT / 2000. In Windows NT it ran on top of NBT (NetBIOS over TCP/IP), which used the famous ports 137, 138 (UDP) and 139 (TCP). In Windows 2000, Microsoft added the possibility to run SMB directly over TCP/IP, without the extra layer of NBT. For this they use TCP port 445.
When Windows 2000 uses port 445, and when it uses 139
In Windows 2000 you have the possibility to disable NetBIOS over TCP/IP. You do this by right-clicking on My Network Places and selecting Properties. Then right-click on the appropriate Local Area Connection icon, and select Properties. Next, click on Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) and Properties. Now click Advanced, and select the WINS tab. There you can enable or disable NetBIOS over TCP/IP. The changes take effect immediately without rebooting the system.
From now on I will refer to the "client" as the computer from where you map drives and other shared resources, and to the "server" as the computer with resources that are shared. I will also refer to NetBIOS over TCP/IP only as NBT.
If the client has NBT enabled, it will always try to connect to the server at both port 139 and 445 simultaneously. If there is a response from port 445, it sends a RST to port 139, and continues it's SMB session to port 445 only. If there is no response from port 445, it will continue it's SMB session to port 139 only, if it gets a response from there. If there is no response from either of the ports, the session will fail completely.
If the client has NBT disabled, it will always try to connect to the server at port 445 only. If the server answers on port 445, the session will be established and continue on that port. If it doesn't answer, the session will fail completely. This is the case if the server for example runs Windows NT 4.0.
If the server has NBT enabled, it listens on UDP ports 137, 138, and on TCP ports 139, 445. If it has NBT disabled, it listens on TCP port 445 only.
Null sessions
In the case of Windows NT 4.0, null sessions always used port 139. A tool like
can give you a lot of information on Windows NT 4.0, but how does this work on Windows 2000? The answer is quite simple - it works according to the above description. To sum things up: if you run winfo from Windows 2000, and have NBT enabled, everything will normally work fine whatever the target system is. If you want it to never use anything but port 445, disable NBT.

Once upon a time I didn't promote characters at all in our house. In reality I knew as the kids got older they would fall in love with the bright crazy little annoying things that would eventually take over our T.V. ...and some I've even grown to like! You still won't find me buying screen printed t-shirts and chinsy character toys covered in stickers of whatever BUT I do love Nick Jr. for the kids. It's the one channel I know ....and the only reason we will be signing up for cable again in the new house! lol. I won't let them veg out all day of course...but when they are watching they are learning...and it's commercial free! Since we've been in the hotel we've been stuck with cartoon network...oh my goodness! I can't belive all the incredibly stupid cartoons on there sucking up precious moments of my kids life...and not to mention all the things I feel were completely innappropriate. Anywho..back on topic.
One thing my daughter loves to do is play on NickJr.com. I decided to start there for party inspiration for the twins upcoming fresh beat birthday. There is SO much on that site! I seriously can not believe all that they have for kids and parents....games, printables, crafts, music, and reciepes...seriously a ton! And...they have some really cool party printables on there, which are completely free! I was wondering how many of my readers knew this? If you're looking to entertain your kids with some hands on activities or plan an incredibly budget friendly party they've got what you need....and in your kids favorite little friends.
We really wanted to take the kids to the Fresh Beat concert tour that just came out! But...now knowing what state we would be in yet (thank you ARMY) they sold out by the time we knew :( Guess we'll have to make it up with a great party!
Check out some of the things they've got for the fresh beats.....making it super easy on me!
Printable party blowers!
DIY guitar pinata!
Printable "backstage" passes for the guests!
Check out these music themes HEALTHY snacks!
And that's just the begining! They have invitations, thank yous, games, cupcakes wrappers, cupcake toppers, iron on transfers, posters, color pages....e-v-e-r-y-t-h-i-n-g! Looks like I'm going to start with what they have and put my own little twist (haha) on it. Couldn't get much easier!
Check out some of the other cute stuff they have!
They have SO many cool ideas on here with food..I think I'm going to do a Nick Jr. food week with the kids! They would LOVE to see a different show each day on their plates. And I bet they're bellies will agree :)
Alright mommas go check it out!

The Wrath of Bob
Camped at Wrynose Pass, Lake District, with my little car.
Road to Ben Nevis from Fort William. Ben Nevis is on the left. The road runs along Glen Nevis, an astoundingly beautiful region and somewhere I'm very keen to return to explore properly before long.
The empty, dream-like A838 in the Far North
Gorse-lit view from the Borgie Forest, near Tongue
View of Strathmore River from Ben Hope. I scampered from a layby by the river at 9m altitude to the summit at 927m in less than 90 minutes, and loved it (this would be a snail's pace for a fell-runner, but very exciting for a Bob in fell-running shoes). There is mileage in this scampering business. Also it's a Munro in the bag! One down, 283 to go.
Bay of Keisgaig, on the 28-mile trek from Blairmore to Cape Wrath and back, via the idyllic and remote beach of Sandwood Bay.
Unless you take the passenger ferry and tourist shuttle bus (which gives you a fine half hour at the lighthouse before whisking you back again), I can report that Cape Wrath is an Absolute Bugger to get to.
Strangely, and some might say suspiciously, I managed to delete all but three of the photos I took on the Cape Wrath walk, and therefore have no evidence at all to offer of having made it there at all. I remember impossibly high cliffs, strange, straggly creatures, and sleeping in a bivvy bag in the clouds, a lighthouse beam sweeping above me.
So maybe it was a dream after all.
And the strange, straggly creature was me.
In relation to my quest for the UK's darkest skies, as related here, I can say that (a) it's mostly cloudy in NW Scotland anyway, and (b) it's close enough to the Arctic Circle that, when I chose to go at the beginning of June, it doesn't actually ever get fully dark at all. Which I would have realised if I'd thought about it. So, in addition to accidentally deleting my best photos, it was also a complete waste of time, and I feel very silly.
Luckily, it was also an incredible adventure and a life-changing journey. Paid my respects to the extreme NE, N, NW, W and Up points of my home island, added the dastardly Bonxie and the snowy Ptarmigan to my life list of birdies, did things I really didn't believe I could do, and came back all sprightly and nourished and Full of the Bigness of Stuff.

Although still in pre-production, Gigabyte's newest mini PC debuted at CES, packing a lot of hardware into a tiny chassis. At 0.3 liters (or 10 fluid ounces) and 4" x 4" across, it's a bit reminiscent of the Genie from Aladdin: "Phenomenal cosmic powers… itty bitty living space!" For purposes of comparison, the much-beloved Mac Mini measures 7.7 inches square, almost twice the size.
The unnamed Gigabyte model builds upon the Intel NUC, a mini-PC platform developed by Intel, but adds several compelling perks. Most notably, there's now support for i3, i5, or i7 Intel Core processors, as well as USB 3.0 ports. Up to 8GB of RAM and up to a 256 GB SSD provide the finishing touches for a rather robust system.
Additionally, the teacup-sized desktop boasts a brushed-aluminum body and low-power design, making it a green product—and therefore potentially attractive to LEED-certified buildings and businesses looking to round out their environmental credentials. Although Gigabyte has yet to set a pricetag, they have hinted that the entry-level model should be competitively priced, according to Liliputing.

Did you know that the Grand is listed as one of the most haunted places in America? But is the Grand really haunted? I guess you will have to come and find out for yourself. The beautiful and historic Grand Opera house has been beautifully restored and has been home to many outstanding local and national productions, but this time of year it has many different types of characters to witness.
There will be actor-guides who will portray themselves from characters of the 1880's that will tour you through the Grand, that will lead you through the auditorium, stage, dressing rooms and even a few tight spaces under the theater itself. You will learn about the history of the Grand, which is the oldest operating theater in the State of Wisconsin. You may even meet a few "personalities" yourself who have been seen throughout the years from their ghostly images and sounds. The Grand may look different this time of year with the flickering lamps and black sheathing to set the stage. Even a faint mist onstage will add to the spine tingling atmosphere.
SPIRITS OF THE GRAND is open for public tours at selected times, October 18-19 & 24-26, 2013 from 7:30-10:00 PM. The SPIRITS tour is also available on a limited basis for private events, company Halloween parties, and "candlelight" guided tours. For private tours and parties, contact The Grand's administrative office at 920-424-2350

Science, Theology, and Philosophy (STP)
Science, Theology, and Philosophy (STP)
Science, Theology, and Philosophy (STP) are the major intellectual disciplines of a knowledgeable person.
Science, Theology, and Philosophy are One.
In the ancient eras of learning these disciplines were often united; and, usually practiced by the same individual.
The basic purpose of these disciplines is to better understand an often hostile environment in order to live a more enjoyable and productive life; a life which considers both the needs of the individual and the needs of that individual's total society (environment).
Today, and for many centuries, Science, Theology, and Philosophy (STP) have not only been divided; but, often they are diametrically opposed in bitter disputes between the current elite, and their followers, of each discipline . . . and within the disciplines. Often, the elite act as if the disciplines were their personal chattel . . . not manifestations of Nature.
Most practitioners of the disciplines of STP have developed theories, argot, and symbolism that make interdisciplinary communication almost impossible.
Conceptualism demonstrates through the processes of Individualism, Philosophical Logic, Scientific Method, and Observation, (IPSO), referred to as Intelligent Inquiry (II), that all three major intellectual disciplines are currently based upon false premises.
If, as would seem apparent, all three have the same fundamental beginnings; and, all three have the same general purpose concerning: Where have we come from?; Where are we going?; and, How should we behave in between?; then, because of the similarity in purpose, it would appear that there should be no difference in fact, or approach; and thus, all three of these disciplines, Science, Theology, and Philosophy . . . are one. Ipso facto.

This sugar cookie idea came from the same site the turkey leg cookies came from (listed below). I thought I was going to have a heart attack when I saw them, they are soooo cute, these are the things that make my day. You should really check out the lady's site, her cookies are super cute. She used fondant for her parts. I used a cake ball for the head, peanut butter M&Ms for the buttons, a harvest mix candy corn for the nose (they don't have the white tip), and the same piped chocolate I used on all my Turkey Day desserts for the features, I was trying to use what was on hand.

Melted Snowman Cookie

Happy Thanksgiving!
This morning I watched the Macy's parade, and I saw Santa, while the turkey cooked in the oven. Around noon, Mom, Jason, and I headed over to the Mariam's house. We ate too much, went for a walk, and played cards, and then ate a little more. I headed home this evening by way of the craft store (whoops), and then perused the ads. I'm sure I'll be out at 3:30 tomorrow morning....or should I say-this evening, and I'll be hitting some of the black Friday sales. I will attempt not to lose too much of my money, my Christmas spirit, or any portion of my moral conduct tomorrow as I brave the crowds in attempt to save a few bucks, and kick the Christmas season off with some excitement!

Thanksgiving Sugar Cookies
A few more desserts for Thanksgiving....
I found the ideas for the turkey leg, and pumpkin pie slice cookie at www.chiccookiekit.blogspot.com, she has the cutest cookie ideas!
I have no idea which site I saw these on, I got lost in cyber space last night. I did see several versions of this corn cookie. I saw a few people that used tissue for the husk, one person used green fruit roll ups, I just grabbed some paper. It's a pretty cute idea for a cookie on a stick!
OK, I decided I had to figure out a cookie design of my own, so I cut out a round cookie, iced it, then covered it with red M&Ms, and then piped some 'crust'....it's my very own cherry pie, and I like it!!

Teepee Cakes
I saw this idea a year ago at the below link. I thought they were cute. You bake cake inside, then decorate the outside with sprinkles, and pretzels (lots of great ideas on the gal's site). The one contribute I made was that when I cut holes into the pie pan, I found a second pan to place the upside down pan on b/c I found my cones were poking down further than the surface of the counter, and this worked well for baking so they were steady. I also found these super cute sugar characters (the pumpkin, and turkey) at the Cake Carousel in town, and I added a door with piped chocolate. I'm sure you could easily pipe the turkey, and pumpkin, but....I have to admit, I'm not feeling THAT dedicated this year. I have since seen these cake teepees on several sites. They are cute, and last year when I saw them I thought they would make cute place tags, but this year, they will just be dessert at my Aunt's house :O). I'm just about ready for tomorrow! Here's the link with the instructions.

Puppy Pack
Lilly rearranges the couch cushions until she finds the just right spot. This summer while I was on vacation, their puppy sitter's report included Lilly's aspirations to be an interior decorator, so it's obviously a frequent hobby. She also stole this neck pillow my Mom got after one of her surgeries.....doesn't every dog require a pillow? Dogs make me happy. I also love how Max puts up with anything, even a pillow, and the weight of his 100 pound friend on his back. The only thing missing is Peanut, he was hanging out with Jason, he'd normally be cleaning their eyes...not very pretty, but very handy.

Are We There Yet?
I'm ready for a break, and fortunately, I can see it coming, but it does involve 8 more hours of work, which doesn't seem like a lot, but....a lot can happen in 8 hours! On to more positive things... This weekend I finished my very last Dave Ramsey class. It's been a long road-91 days, but I'm better off for it, and I highly recommend the classes. There are a series of steps to follow, and I'm just on step two, but working through it slowly, and really glad to have a long-term, money plan. I'm not sure what I'll be studying next, but I guess it's time for me to sit back and do some thinking, and some listening, probably not in that order. I'd rate Dave up there with some of the best classes I've ever taken....right along with 5 Aspects of a Woman. I'm excited to see what I can add to that list in the future!!
I've finished my Christmas cards, I'm purchasing stamps this week, and then they will be shipped out on the first, and the Christmas festivities will begin in full force in my head, and in my house. I love Christmas!!!
I also have big plans for Thanksgiving break, and I'm really hoping it's less stress than I think it might be....my brother has agreed to help me lay some floors. It needs to be done, and I know if we can do it, I'm going to save a bundle, but it's really intimidating to know I'm going to have to move the furniture, pull up the carpet, lay the floors, AND somehow create the door 'stick things' where the old ceremic/carpet in the bedrooms meets the new floors....I'm scared, but hoping if I blog about the fact that I'm GOING to do it, I'll someone built up my confidence....here's hoping!
All right, speaking of...time to get a little cleaning done.

Turkey Pops
Of course, I got this idea off of Bakerella....I love that site. My first of only two Thanksgiving treats planned for this year, but he's a cutie, and certainly easier to put together than a real turkey.

HIgh Hat Cupcakes
Amber's birthday festivities are tonight, and I've always wanted to make high hat cupcakes, so she agreed to be my taste tester. I cheated, I made these with buttercream instead of meringue icing.....because I like my cupcakes sweet, and sometimes, I like my cupcakes sweet (are you getting the idea?). The hat isn't as 'high' with buttercream, but I hope the flavor makes up for it! They remind me of a Dairy Queen ice cream cone, yum.
Here they are 'drying' on my impromptu drying rack.

New Moon
Tonight I went to the premier of New Moon with a group of gals from work. I call this team building....Team Edward, of course. I've already explained my unusual like of Twilight, and the second movie did not disappoint! (We bought out tickets about a month and a half ago). I can't WAIT for the next one...just 222 more days, but who's counting? Me! Me! MEEEEEE! I'm thinking midnight show next time! Added bonus, there were a bunch of tweens at the movie (including one of my old students), and one of my coworkers counted 14 screams during the movie....H-I-L-A-R-I-O-U-S. They screamed when all the main heart throbs were seen for the first time....even louder when they were shown without their shirts.....there was even a scream for a hug....fine, I think there might have been a few screams coming from 'my' section of the theater within the 11 of us that attended. Such a great way to start the weekend!

Lazy Mom's Lasagna
I found this recipe through a website called wondertime.go.com that someone sent me for a completely different reason, and it was yummy! I did make some adaptions, which I noted at the end.
Recipe for Lazy Mom's Lasagna
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1/2 cup minced onion
2 carrots, grated
1 garlic clove, minced
1 teaspoon dried basil (optional)
1 teaspoon dried oregano (optional)
Salt and pepper to taste
1 (14-ounce) package frozen cheese ravioli, unthawed
1 (14-ounce) jar marinara sauce
1/2 pound sliced provolone
1/2 cup grated Parmesan
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
Heat the oil in an ovenproof 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat, then sauté the onion, carrots, garlic, and herbs until the onion is translucent, about 3 minutes. Transfer the onion mix to a bowl. Now arrange the ravioli (breaking them apart if they're clumped) in one layer in the skillet and sprinkle with the onion mix. Ladle the marinara sauce evenly over the ravioli. Over medium heat, without stirring, cook everything until the ravioli are heated through and beginning to brown on the bottom (gently lift one with a fork to check), about 10 minutes.
Remove the skillet from the heat, then arrange the provolone slices over the sauce and sprinkle the whole thing with Parmesan. Bake the lasagna in the middle of the oven until the cheese is melted, about 10 minutes.
*I went ahead and used the whole bag of frozen cheese ravioli (something like 25 oz). The original recipe said it serves four people, but I thought with the addition of the ravioli it would easily serve five people, and be more than filling. I also didn't add the grated carrots, I'd be interested to know what that taste like. Lastly, I thought it might be good with some ground beef tossed in, but then again, I'm not that into meat, but I could see where it would be really tasty with a meat sauce,and not just tomato sauce.

Loving the Fall!
Today was GORGEOUS (add that to my weekend of G's). The weather was just so great. I think it was probably about 70, sunny, and the fall leaves are in full glory. I went for a walk this afternoon just because I couldn't stand not to be out there with all this color! Everywhere I drive I'm just so taken back by the colors, and I only get to experience this for a few weeks, but I'm appreciating each drive! My street has an arch of trees canopying the street, and there is no time more beautiful than the fall when all the leaves are changing colors. Sure, I know what's coming next-raking and bagging, but....I'm appreciating these colorful leaves as they rain down! This is my favorite tree on the block....check out it's color change from one side to the other.

My weekend brought to you by the letter "G"
Friday Gave me a break....no more drama, no more bad mooods....it was a nice break from the rest of the week. Someone told me there was a full moon this past week....I believe them!! Lilly also made her Great Escape with half a Giant cupcake I was trying to bake....brat....
Saturday (after good ol' Saturday School) we had a family Garage sale....not much money was made, BUT I've now cleared some stuff out of my house-a big deal, and it's next stop is the school garage sale next weekend. All the profits will be going towards The American Cancer Society. I've been collecting stuff at work for a few weeks now, and was worried about the lack of items we have at the moment...we will have plenty now (though I'm still hoping for more).
Sunday it's time for Grouting....ugh. I am not a fan of grouting, I don't do it very well either, but.....my house isn't going to make the parade of homes this year, so I guess it'll be OK....for now. I had to post about it to make myself go actually do it b/c I'm not feeling the motivation. I've been prepping mentally for a week, and the new grout has been sitting in the bathroom for several months....so....it's time!
OH....and alllll weekend, I've been a little addicted (the limited access I allow myself to the addition) to some Games I stumbled across on line. Don't go if you remember, love, and like revisiting the classic games b/c you won't get much done. BUT, if you need a reason to procrastinate, here are two fun ones....off I go....to play them each one more time before I grout.

Giant Cupcake Cake
Have I mentioned I love cupcakes...even giant ones? This cake is for Kate's first birthday. Her family is celebrating 'their little cupcake's first birthday' tomorrow. She is going to be wearing her little lavender cupcake dress I made for her a few months back, and so....of course she needed a lavender cupcake cake to go with it. Her Mom's going to put a big one candle on the cake. I had to make some baby cupcakes because the guest list kept growing, and I found cupcake holders I loved. I bought the big cupcake pan from Wilton, and it was one of the easiest cakes I've ever made, but I am a little worried about the taste b/c it actually had to bake for a really long time because of the depth of the pan (and it took a double recipe to fill completely), I just hope the edges aren't too crunchy. Lilly didn't think so, she ate the first cake I baked....usually it's Max, and so when I was letting the cake cool before icing....and I heard the clatter of a dog jumping on the counter....I knew this could not be good. The second cake looks about the same....live and learn...or not....this isn't my first 'dog ruined the crafting/cooking experiment.'

The "College Dorm" Theory
In college, as Thanksgiving approached, all the sudden everyone had ENOUGH of everyone else. And then....finally-Thanksgiving break. The girls came back....just barely able to look at each other again....until Christmas. By Janurary, everyone loved each other again, or had their room change fulfilled. I guess it's because it's just a bunch of X chromosomes running around....I don't know. I just remembered it was SUCH an annoying time. I quickly noticed in the elementary setting it's more of the same around this time of year. I'm just sayin'....that's all I'll say, OK...and maybe I'll say I flipped three pages over in my plan book about 100 times this past week just LOOKING at the Thanksgiving Break....and knowing I can make it....but carefully plotting out how to navigate these 16 school days (three of which are Saturday Schools) between now and 'the' break.

It's About Time...
Yay! KVIL.com is streaming Christmas music all day, all the time (starting yesterday). They are WAY behind me...I listened to my first cd in September, but....I'm glad the rest of the world is getting ready for Christmas now too! P.s. No Scrooge comments welcome on my blog. :O)

Let Them Eat Cake
The best thing about the fall....is all the birthdays! I've spent the last few weeks helping celebrate lots of birthdays....no complaints here-with lots more to come! This weekend I've even spanned the globe in restaurants in the attempts to help celebrate. I had Tapas on Friday night with Mary, and Sonia; Maggiano's Italian for Maggie's birthday Eve (even more interesting with a group of Smurf's joining a party at the table next to us) on Saturday....and today-it was off to Maxim's for Dim Sum to celebrate Kelly's 30th (not to be confused with Maggie's 40th)!! Her Mom got her this incredible Mad Hatter Cake (it's so 'Kelly') from Frosted Art (Bronwen Weber's place). There are still more 'Kelly celebrations' to come in honor of Kelly's age-we are off to Vegas the first weekend in December.

NEW YORK, NEW YORK – A former manager at the Sept. 11 memorial says he was fired for raising health and security concerns at one of the most security-conscious places in the world.
Thomas Cancelliere sued the National Sept. 11 Memorial and Museum on Friday. The New York memorial had no immediate response.
Cancelliere's lawsuit says he was the memorial's facilities director from November 2010 until his firing last month.
The suit says he alerted his bosses that the water in the memorial's signature fountains carried illness-causing bacteria and that exit gates were too narrow and could hinder an evacuation, among other concerns. He says that supervisors told him the issues weren't his responsibility or were being addressed, but that they weren't.
He says he was told he was being dismissed because of cost-cutting, but he believes it was retaliation.

Pets, Pets, Pets
Too bad Emily Post never wrote a book about canine etiquette. There is a prim and proper way for two dogs to be introduced that will not irritate the sensibilities of canine high society, especially if the owner hopes these dogs will be able to live together.
When people are considering adding another dog to their household, the first "Meet n' Greet" between the family dog and the newcomer should be carefully orchestrated. By following some initial steps that reinforce "pack" rules, the dogs may readily accept each other. If all goes well, building their buddy relationship will take a bit longer.
Surprising your dog with a new canine sibling is not a wise strategy. It is best that the dogs meet before the newbie enters your home. The following introduction tips will help foster safety and peaceful co-existence:
1) Take your time selecting your new dog. Even when rescuing a dog, you are allowed to be picky. Make sure the breed, age, temperament and play style complement your present pet pack. For example, if your Toy Poodle is 14 years old and arthritic, think twice before you bring home an exuberant Lab puppy that might make the rest of the Poodle's life miserable. Sometimes seniors are rejuvenated by youngsters but please view the sudden change in dog dynamics from your resident dog's perspective too.
2) If you are shelter shopping, see how the dog of your desire interacts with other shelter dogs (specifically one on one; not just a walk down the kennel aisle). The shelter staff may have an impounded dog known to be dog friendly that can test the social skills of your chosen dog. If this goes well, then bring your dog to meet him.
3) To minimize territorial disputes, have your dog and the prospective new one meet on neutral grounds. (My Toy Spaniel had a play date with my female Afghan at a Bayville park; my Afghans met at a kennel where the male boarded after being seized from the New Mexico hoarder.) Nowadays before approving an adoption, many shelters require that you bring your dog there for a "Meet n' Greet." They even have designated areas. A fenced in yard is best, but indoors can work as well. If the dogs must meet at your home for the first time, start step #4 outside your property line, even in the road. Then gradually work your way into your yard before entering the house.
4) Both dogs should be on a loose leash. Pulling too tightly can instigate altercations. You should handle your own dog while someone else, such as a shelter staff person, handles the other one. As they behave calmly, approach each other slowly. Allow the dogs to sniff briefly while observing body postures for signs of play bowing or aggression.
5) Circle around inching closer and closer without letting the leashes get tangled. (Easier said than done.) Reward positive interactions with praise and happy talk. Separate them immediately if there are any growls, teeth bared, prolonged stares or other warning signs of fighting; or if either of the dogs seems to be too frightened. It is important to interrupt before tensions escalate. You can try again later through a fence first. If you own more than one dog, introduce each one at a time.
6) Make sure you leave leashes on for intervention. If the session seems to be going well, drop the leash on one dog and let him roam while the other dog gets used to his scent and "yard" presence. Then give the other dog a chance to wander while the first dog is held. If attitudes are still cheery, try a supervised few moments with both dogs dragging their leashes.
7) Several Meet n' Greets over a period of time may help dogs to get acquainted. Often there are more signs of recognition and tolerance on subsequent visits.
8) I am a firm believer in the power of a "parallel walk" to begin a canine friendship. Start with two handlers taking the dogs for a fun walk side by side around your neighborhood. This exercise helps to dissipate anxious energies and cement a bond. You can try another Meet n' Greet after a short jaunt. Once you feel secure that they will tolerate each other, you alone may want to walk both dogs simultaneously. I do this before I invite the new dog into the house.
Once you have decided to adopt your new dog dependent, there are several suggestions to ease the settling-in period:
1) Prevention is the best way to eliminate dog fights. Avoid scenarios that may provoke sibling rivalry. Unless you have a crate in the car, leave your other dog home when you go to pick up the new pooch. You cannot drive and referee at the same time.
2) Have everything set up at home before picking up the pup. Crate is ready. Desirable toys and rawhides, anything that may spark a spat, are up off the floor for the time being. Spend time with each dog individually so no one gets jealous.
3) Feed the dogs in separate areas, or give the new guy meals in his crate. Pick up left overs. Only hand out treats that can be eaten quickly, not big bones or filet mignons that can be carried off and guarded.
4) In the beginning no matter how comfy the dogs seem together, supervise all interactions and do not leave them free together when you are not home. Yep, even if one of the dogs is Lassie incarnate.
5) If things get ugly, use two crates side by side but not touching. Then contact a behaviorist or reputable trainer for professional advice.

The common toolbox gremlin...
I was alone in the house. Mary and Lyndsay were at the grocery, so I figured it was a perfect opportunity for garage time. My fixed gear commuter needed a quick clean-and-lube. It's always a good idea to check the chain tension at the same time.
I sprayed the chain with WD40 to loosen the crud. It's a great cleaner but as a lubricant it won't stand up to the pressure on a chain. I scrubbed with a rag while being careful to keep my hands away from the rotating cog and chain ring. The wheel was out of true so I made a mental note of it. After the solvent evaporated, I applied some chain lube and wiped off the excess. As I turned toward the toolbox for an adjustable wrench, the phone in the kitchen rang.
I went to answer the phone, taking the wrench along in my hand. Mary wanted to know if we needed a few items she'd left off the shopping list. I checked for her, then went back to the garage. "Now, what happened to that adjustable wrench?" I mumbled to myself. "I had it just a moment ago when I answered the phone." I went back into the kitchen to look for it. It wasn't near the phone or on the counter top or the table. I checked my pockets too. After a few minutes of fruitless searching, I went back to the garage. I could use a 15mm combination wrench just as easily. The adjustable would turn up – sometime.
The chain tensioning went quickly, then I gave the wheel a spin prior to truing it. But when I reached in my pocket for my spoke wrench, a Schwinn Centennial tool that I carry because it doubles as a bottle opener, I was astounded to find it missing! One should never be without one's bottle opener just in case there's a cold beer in the vicinity. I'd had one or two the previous evening, so there was a chance the tool was sitting on the kitchen counter, probably right next to that missing adjustable wrench. So I went back to the kitchen. "No luck", I thought, "but maybe I left it in a jersey pocket after riding home." So I went to look in the laundry basket.
I keep my cycling clothes separate from the family laundry. It's easier than sorting through a big pile of clothes. But when I looked though my jersey pockets, the spoke wrench was nowhere to be found. The basket reeked, though, so I thought it would be a good idea to dump it in the washer. I did that, added detergent, and turned the washer on. "Now what was I doing before I started this? Oh yeah, the wheel truing."
Back in the garage, I found a Park spoke wrench and set to work on the wheel, but before it was finished, Mary and Lyndsay pulled into the driveway. I went out to help them unload groceries and to do a little discreet peeking for goodies. That went quickly. In a few minutes I was back at the repair stand. Of course, the Park spoke wrench was now missing too. "It probably ran off with the Schwinn tool", I thought, "and they're now living in sin in some other state." I muttered darkly about toolbox gremlins and decided the best course of action was to have another beer.
The Schwinn spoke wrench was sitting on the bottom shelf of the refrigerator next to a cold bottle of Rolling Rock. The Park spoke wrench turned up a week later on the floor of the Chevy. The adjustable wrench is still missing.

I'm running the latest version of Chrome [60.0.3112.101 (Official Build) (64-bit)]
The web based player for Madsonic (Pro) latest version [6.2.9080.2a5cd1f.20161222.0530] does not work on Chrome on my Windows 8.1 Surface Pro or on my Windows 7 SP1 desktop at home.
However, it does work using Internet Explorer 11 on the Win 8.1 computer.
This suggests a problem with Chrome.
Thoughts? suggestions?
P.S. I just installed Firefox on the Win 8.1 Surface Pro 3 and Madsonic plays fine on that browser too.

I just returned from NIH. Traveling is just not as fun as it used to be. Three years after my decompression there has been no change in my syrinx. I'm fine with this as no change is better then growth. My pain symptoms are finally under control as I've recently changed from hydrocodone to Hydromorphone. I was very reluctant to make the change because I've always thought of "Lortabs" as not much more than strong asprin and I didn't want to get into the heavier narcotics. This was a mistake. I haven't been this free of pain for a couple of years. Lesson learned. I have also found major relief using Graybo's advice. Anyone can search some of his posts for more info on that.
On to the results of my last visit. I have been experiencing some new symptoms relating to loss of sensation and occasional lack of coordination when standing and walking. The famous "Cape Effect" has begun and I have been having some difficulty standing and walking (like I'm on stilts sometimes.) Also at rest with my eyes closed I can't tell what my hands and feet are doing unless I open my eyes or move something. I've been tearing up the internet trying to find a journal or anything related to the progression of these symptoms but I haven't had any luck. If anyone can point me in that direction I would be very thankful. I feel very lucky compared to most with SM and I'm very appreciative of this forum and the help available from the members here. I hope everyone has a great thanksgiving. i know that I'm truely grateful for all I have.
