Tracking The Four: Conference Play BeginsPosted by EJacoby on January 10th, 2012
Evan Jacoby is an RTC columnist and contributor. You can find him @evanjacoby on Twitter. TT4 will cover four selected teams of interest – Syracuse, Indiana, Murray State, and UNLV – by tracking their ups, downs, and exciting developments throughout the course of the season.
Welcome to Tracking The Four! This new series reads just like it sounds, as we will be following four buzz-worthy teams across the country. Those lucky teams are Syracuse (current #1 team and a title favorite), Indiana (a feel-good contender), Murray State (undefeated dreams), and UNLV (the best of the West). With TT4, we hope to provide readers with interesting insights about each of the featured teams that helps capture the atmosphere of the programs throughout the rest of the season. Look for a full TT4 piece every Tuesday, as well as a shorter update later in the week. Each post will be loaded with highlights, lowlights, and tidbits about each team, as well as recaps from their recent play and a look ahead at their upcoming games. Conference play is well underway and there's plenty of news to get to this week:
Syracuse Orange
- Trending UP Because… – They're looking like national title favorites. The undefeated Orange (17-0, 4-0 Big East) remain number one in every national poll, including the RTC Top 25, with its consistently dominant play. They've beaten their four conference opponents by an average of 16.5 points, which includes two road games and two home games against ranked teams (Seton Hall & Marquette). Seton Hall has proven to be a solid and cohesive offensive team, yet the Pirates were blown out of the gym by Syracuse in a 75-49 thrashing. The Orange are the deepest team in the country with 10 meaningful contributors, and their patented 2-3 zone is as strong as ever. Jim Boeheim's team is now making bigger headlines on the court than off it (the Bernie Fine sexual harassment allegation was a big story), a refreshing trend for the sake of all its fans.
- This Week's Key Cog – Brandon Triche. The junior guard led the team in scoring last week, going for 16 points at Providence on Wednesday and another 16 at home against Marquette on Saturday. He hit four three-pointers in each game with an impressive line of 16/7/4 assts and two steals in the victory over Marquette.
- Play of the Week – Point guard Scoop Jardine finds his go-to guy Kris Joseph in transition for a thunderous dunk from several feet away from the basket against Providence.
- Talking Point – Guard Dion Waiters, who comes off the bench, had this to say after the win over Providence: "I've never been on a team with subs like this. It's crazy. We continue to get better and make each other better in practice every day. We've got some of the best guards in the country.''
- Stats Central – Syracuse leads the nation with 37.5 points per game from its bench, further proving that they're the deepest team in America. Also, their zone defense has been truly elite this season, as the Orange lead the country in steals (10.9 per game), are third in blocks (7.4 per game), and fifth in forcing turnovers (18.7 per game).
- What's Next? – The Orange play at Villanova on Wednesday at the Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia (7:00 PM ET, ESPN2) against a struggling Wildcats team, but it's still a rivalry game in which the Villanova crowd should be fired up and looking for the upset. Then, Cuse gets its second matchup with Providence, this time at home on Saturday (6:00 PM ET) as heavy favorites.

FEMA orders people to stop donating goods to east coast residents
Paul Joseph Watson
November 14, 2012
Never has a picture been worth a thousand words in illustrating the incompetence of government than this – an image shows Hurricane Sandy volunteers feeding FEMA workers.
The picture shows members of 'Occupy Sandy' – an offshoot of the Occupy Wall Street movement – doing FEMA's job for them. It's an illustration of how big government has once again failed to accomplish the very task its supporters ascribe to it – taking care of people. The photo was confirmed by Occupy Boston and AnonMedics.
Indeed, FEMA has not only failed to sufficiently help east coast residents hit by the devastating hurricane – some of them were forced to go dumpster diving for food – the federal agency has in fact blocked relief efforts just as it did during Hurricane Katrina back in 2005.
The Federal Emergency Management Agency has ordered Shelter Island residents to "stop" donating goods bound for Island Park and Long Beach. It's not that the goods, including clothing and other items, are not needed, indeed they were "gone in 48 hours" according to one volunteer – it's the fact that FEMA refuses to relinquish power on deciding how they are distributed.
FEMA instead insists that people donate cash to organizations like the Red Cross, which has been caught over and over again stealing donations and is riddled with corruption.
During a recent press conference, Staten Island Borough President James Molinaro slammed the Red Cross, highlighting how their executives are paid hundreds of thousands of dollars a year yet never set foot on the front lines of a disaster.
"My advice to the people of Staten Island is: Do not donate to the American Red Cross. Let them get their money elsewhere," said Molinaro.
Despite an onslaught of financial support for the victims of the 2011 earthquake in Haiti, millions of dollars donated to the Red Cross went missing and have still not been tracked down.
Hurricane Sandy victims have savaged both FEMA and the Red Cross for abandoning residents, some of whom still remain without power weeks after the storm. FEMA even ludicrously closed relief centers in New York due to "bad weather".
Former NYC Mayor Rudy Giuliani also slammed FEMA's response as being worse than their reaction to Hurricane Katrina.
Volunteer groups have again proven more adept at dealing with the crisis and offering real help to victims, prompting questions as to why FEMA is ordering them to stop their efforts and instead rely on a bloated bureaucracy that has displayed its ineptitude time and time again.
The most infamous example of FEMA's botched response to a natural disaster was when the agency seemingly set about sabotaging relief efforts in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina. Jefferson Parish President Aaron Broussard accused the agency of cutting emergency communication lines without notice during the early days of the disaster.

"The most immediately obvious facet of the Deca Drive is more prosaic. It's a very solid, CNC-machined aluminum unit… and tipping the scales at 160g unladen."
"The power is converted to illumination via three LEDs, secured behind Leyzne's Maximum Optimal Reflection lens, intended to produce a smoother and brighter beam by optimizing use of the generated light. This will be the area of greatest interest when the testing begins, of course."
We are looking forward to the full review and will be sure to share it with you as soon as RCUK posts the report.

Due to Google's policies ( search web for "Android text relocations" ) we cannot distribute x86 package with full FFmpeg optimizations enabled through Google Play anymore, the known workarounds for this would break other features and affect more users than this does - x86 users are a tiny minority according to Google Play.
As a workaround, I provide a standalone download for the APK - compiled with full optimizations, but without bleeding edge Android SDK.
To avoid Google Play from overwriting this version with a newer but unoptimized build, you might want to disable Google Play automatic updates.

If you've ever said to yourself, "I'm so hungry I could eat a whole God", then Namco Bandai's latest trademark filing is right up your alley.
The trademark finders at Superannuation have uncovered a recently filed trademark application from Namco Bandai Games for a game called "God Eater". The application was filed on May 5th, and covers "Video game cartridges, computer game programs" as well as "Entertainment, namely providing a computer game that may be accessed network-wide by network users via mobile phones and computers; providing computer games via network between communications networks and computers". It most likely won't be a video game about actually eating gods, but until Namco Bandai actually reveals what the title is feel free to imagine nipping into a steaming hot plate of theological beings.
And "video game cartridges?" How very quaint.

After the Tattoo Convention Rotterdam 2016 (thanks everyone for dropping by!), last week Ade worked on an upper arm design inspired by a figure found in Wayang Kulit.
Bima is the second of the Pandawa (Pandava) brothers and a leading character in the epic Mahabharata. He is a strong and bold character as reflected in his round eyes and wide
stance. He was surrounded by a whirlwind wherever he went and he is also instantly recognisable by his long fingernails that act as his weapon (Pancanaka).
He is seen as a heroic figure and known as a powerful figure, he is always rude and intimidating for the enemy, even though his heart soft. Bima characteristics are brave, steadfast, strong, stoic, obedient and honest, and he considers all people equal. He never curses or sits in front of a person he talks to. He has three wives and three children. Having descended from the wind god Vayu, Bima has the ability to fly, as does his half-brother Hanuman (Hanoman) and his son Ghatotkacha.
The vast majority of the 'Wayang' plays performed are drawn from the two great Hindu epics, the Ramayana and the Mahabharata with as well as stories of Javanese origin. 'Wayang kulit' is considered as the highest of the Javanese performing arts. Performed in the royal courts of Java as early as the ninth century, this tradition continues to be treasured as one of the 'pusaka' or sacred heirlooms of the court. 'Wayang kulit' is traditionally performed on ritual days and religious ceremonies. It has also been adapted more recently for television and public education campaigns.
Here a nice example of some Wayang kulit play showing the character Bima.

Next thing is: Frankfurt Tattoo Convention 2016! See you there!

None of this leaves him in any doubt about the errancy of evolutionary theoryDr. Brandon van der Ventel is a nuclear physicist with a Ph.D. from South Africa's Stellenbosch University, where he currently teaches theoretical nuclear physics. Van der Ventel's specialties include biological systems, physics education, and computational physics.
http://christiannews.net/2015/08/03/nuclear-physicist-declares-science-will-never-contradict-the-bible/In an interview with Christian News Network, van der Ventel explained why—as a physicist—he firmly believes the literal, historical interpretation of the Bible's creation account. The theory of evolution, he explained, is scientifically unsubstantiated.
"The final arbiter of any theory must be based on the strength of its description of physical reality," he said. "It is in this respect that the theory of evolution fails dismally."
Not only is the second law of thermodynamics "a powerful argument against chemical evolution," van der Ventel stated, but the very dating methods evolutionists cite are mostly supported by assumptions—not physics.
"Physics can also play a role when it comes to the sticky question of dating certain objects," he noted. "It is important to understand that dinosaur bones, for example, are not found with a time stamp attached to them. Every publicized age is based on certain assumptions and conflicting radioactive dates are commonplace."
On the contrary, the Bible's creation account logically explains both physical reality and the nature of God, van der Ventel said.
BTW an awful cynic on the freethinker.org.uk site suggested he might be angling for a job at a US religous university

I am tempted to say that this is the best hotel I have stayed in Santo Domingo in a long while. The view from the room was amazing and the rooms are spotlessly clean. The hotel itself and its grounds were great and well maintained. The place has a rooftop patio from where you can get the best views. The manager here speaks good English which made communication even much better. The staff here was great, they never asked to be tipped unlike most hotels in DR where staff members hassle you for tips. They were so caring and helpful that anytime I needed a taxi or cab, they would help me out and also told me places I could go visit and where to have the best nightlife. The rooms had everything from a cable TV to free internet service which I need as I was here for a business meeting so I could communicate with my office. My room had a small balcony and this place has a romantic atmosphere and comes highly recommended for lovers looking for a romantic getaway. The location is perfect and it is close to most places such as a small grocery shop down the road. The front desk service was amazing as they try to help you out with any problem you come to them with. It is a nice quiet place that I really needed and also there was hot water so my stay was practically without problems and there is nothing to complain about.

To the U.S. Justice Department and all the protesters of the Zimmerman verdict: Where were you last year when 476 school-age children were killed by guns in the city of Chicago?
To the U.S. Justice Department and all the protesters of the Zimmerman verdict: Where were you last year when 476 school-age children were killed by guns in the city of Chicago?
Where was the media?
Where was the public outcry?
You've all made it so clear that it's not about kids being killed — it's about agenda. The hypocrisy is embarrassing. If you want to champion a cause, try not to be so transparent.
And to all the professional athletes who have tweeted "what do I tell my children about the Zimmerman verdict ..."? — that answer is easy: Use the same words you would have used if they were around for the OJ verdict.

I imagine there must be some weeks when the last thing Dr. Ellen Friedman feels like doing is conjuring up another column for the Record's Pets section.
So I especially want you to know how much I appreciate her sharing the eloquent lessons of all creatures great and small: the selflessness of her heroic canine blood donor (and reassuring return to refrigerator mischief), the delicate elegance and remarkable resilience of a dragonfly, the astonishing power of a pet to melt Sam's heart (and countless others).
Each week her columns provide a vehicle of escape and joy, and cause for thanksgiving for the remarkable creation of which we humans are only a part. Thanks to her and the Record for sharing the goodness and wisdom of her furry, feathered and scaled friends.

Gov. Andrew Cuomo promoted a state law on guns that is contrary to the U.S. Constitution. The SAFE Act has forced one firearms manufacturer to move to Pennsylvania, taking a hundred jobs or so with it. More will likely follow.
Now they want to change the New York Constitution to allow casinos to bring in jobs. The governor also wants to have tax-free business zones around college campuses. All in the name of jobs?
On the one hand they are costing us jobs, while on the other hand they say they want to create jobs. There is something not quite right with this picture.

•Stephen Strasburg's MRI results are due in any time now, but regardless, the Nationals are considering shutting him down since the season's a lost cause anyway. His next start: 2014.
•Caster Semenya returned to elite competition, once again outclassing the world's best at 800 meters. She wasn't nearly as dominant in her return, only winning by the length of a penis.
•Lou Piniella calls it quits, after an 11-run loss to Atlanta. But you know what they say about leaving the Cubs taking 10 years off your life. Expect to see him back with a new, non-freakshow of a team next year.
•The US, led by Kevin Durant's 25 points and two blocked shots on the final possession, tipped Spain by one in a warmup for the world championships. And yes, it's totally okay to use a scrimmage for the 2nd most important international tournament, in which most of our best players decided to pass up, as an opportunity to bring the jingoism. USA! USA!
•Arjun Atwal becomes the first Indian-born player to win on the PGA Tour, and the first Monday qualifier to do it since 1986. So there's hope out there for all you duffers, assuming you've already won regularly on the Asian and European tours.

CC Sabathia lost control – and another lead – in the fifth inning Friday. The night ended with the Yankees losing yet another key game with their fading – tiring, hurting? – ace on the mound.Daily News:
Fill-in shortstop Eduardo Nunez also made a costly error in the ninth in a 6-4 loss to Tampa Bay at the Stadium ...
[GM Brian] acknowledged the lefty's drop in velocity – to the low-90s – in recent games.
Sabathia also has failed to hold leads in each of his five starts since his second DL stint, with the Yanks losing the last four.
Every time CC Sabathia goes out and fails to dominate since returning from the disabled list, the more it feels as if the Yankees could actually blow this thing. ...
Suddenly it feels as if the Yankees are in real danger of winding up in that do-or-die game the two wild-card teams will play under the new playoff format.
What else is there to think if Sabathia is going to continue to be rather ordinary?
After another subpar performance, Sabathia again said his left elbow that sidelined him last month isn't an issue.Daily News:
"I'm healthy enough to go pitch," Sabathia said. ...
"I still believe in CC," the Yankees manager said. "I know his heart. ... In the back of your mind, you expect him to be CC," Girardi said.
Time is running out.
Mixing a concoction of sarcasm and snideness, Suzyn (Ma Pinstripe) Waldman let the Red Sox have it Wednesday evening, the night after they walked off with a 4-3 win in the ninth.
"John, you would've thought they won the World Series the way they celebrated," Waldman contended on WCBS-AM.
Never mind that the Yankees have also participated in similar regular-season, ninth-inning fiestas. Never mind that her partner John (Pa Pinstripe) Sterling has been known to break out in song - no matter what inning - when a certain Yankee hits a home run. ...
[T]here's something strangely compelling about Ma and Pa chronicling Yankees exploits in a legit pennant race with no wild card safety net. This is something the Bombers and all of their broadcasters are not accustomed to.
Sterling and Waldman are feeling the heat and intensity. ... Night after night, as the lead dwindled down to a precious few games, Sterling was despondent - more so than usual. ... During this stretch, it might have been prudent to put Sterling under a suicide watch.
Sterling, almost on a nightly basis, goes into a funk after an opponent takes a 2-1 or 3-1 lead. ...
Sterling's mood shifted drastically later when he broke into song after each of Curtis Granderson's two home runs. Wonder what Waldman is doing while Sterling is singing. Making sure the ball actually goes over the wall, perhaps?

(FORTUNE Magazine) – Conflict Diamonds
Having been to Sierra Leone ("Diamonds Aren't Forever," by Vivienne Walt, Dec. 11) to look at business opportunities (other than diamonds!), I have to agree with the anonymous Western ambassador who says that corruption, unemployment, and poverty are "very much with us." The people of Sierra Leone are still feeling the effects of the civil war, and the country is probably the most nonviolent society on the African continent. But it may not remain so if the government is not seen to help the citizens. What is needed is massive investment to create employment and thus alleviate poverty. The government doesn't have the tools to do this and is hampered by the perception that Sierra Leone is one of the most dangerous countries to do business in. Absolute bollocks! But Western governments and nongovernmental organizations perpetuate this perception. They have massive funds earmarked for Sierra Leone, but they don't spend them, saying, "Ah, but there's too much corruption." There are ways to overcome this, but by doing nothing, they are going to be responsible for the next civil war.

In Defense of Turkey
I AM HIGHLY disappointed by "Birthday Blues," by Telis Demos (Nov. 27). I strongly object to the background picture, which associates Turkey with images of militarism and nationalism. Like Greece, Spain, and Portugal, Turkey is a maturing democracy that has moved past military interventions.
Political tensions between the secular and so-called pro-Islamic parties are part and parcel of a healthy democratic process. Demos associates the secularist parties with excessive militarism and the Turkish Parliament with Islamic radicalism. This suggests that every facet of Turkish democracy is deficient and offensive to the West.
Any impartial observer will note that Turkey's current problems in joining the European Union are not the result of "internal tensions," as this article claims, but of highly hypocritical European attitudes based on the fact that Turkey is a Muslim country. If the Europeans were unbiased, Turkey--already a viable part of the European economy as a result of its ten-year-old Customs Union--would have been a member of the EU long before the Eastern European countries, including Romania and Bulgaria, which will join in 2007.
Hopes for Wal-Mart
IF WAL-MART SPENT a fraction of the money on improving working conditions and wages that it spends on PR and spin control ("Attack of the Wal-Martyrs," by Barney Gimbel, Dec. 11), it would have a better product. Research tells us that employees who feel valued perform better. I'm sure Wal-Mart executives would deny running a sweatshop, but isn't the company operating on the same concept? I hope my children will inherit a more socially responsible world. Let's hope Wal-Mart takes a leadership role. Better yet, let's ask it to.
President and CEO, Ranablue
Rockville, Md.
AS ONE OF the hundreds of thousands of middle-class Americans who own Wal-Mart stock, I read "Attack of the Wal-Martyrs" with interest. The unions are doing their best to turn Wal-Mart into the General Motors of big-box retailers. One hopes that, in drafting operatives from the Howard Dean, Wesley Clark, and John Kerry campaigns, they will obtain the same results we saw in the last presidential election.
Long Beach, Calif.
WAL-MART HAS created thousands of jobs. It has brought quality merchandise to millions of shoppers. It has broken down the isolation of small towns where local merchants provided only limited employment and shopping opportunities. It has enhanced business for other stores in its shopping malls. The unions in the end will only harm both the workers and the customers. What benefits did Wal-Mart employees have prior to their employment?
Lima, Ohio
INTEL'S TOTAL RETURN through Dec. 1 was -14.4%, not 14.4%, as we said in "Stock Scorecard" (Dec. 25).
Turkey's Republic Day ("Birthday Blues," Nov. 27) is Oct. 28, not Oct. 29.

First-class views of the world below
Images of some of our planet's most beautiful features can be seen from the comfort of your Air France aircraft thanks to satellites.
Clouds can't obstruct these views: the crystal waters of the Andaman Islands while en route to Singapore, the snaking Senegal River after taking off from Dakar and the rolling dunes of the Gobi Desert before landing in Beijing.
Satellite photos of the landscape below the aircraft are now accessible by passengers on dozens of Air France flights thanks to a four-year partnership with ESA.
ESA has recently provided Air France with over 1200 new images to incorporate into the in-flight Geovision programme which displays captivating satellite views that link to the route on the onboard screens.
The mesmerising scenes have been selected by ESA from various Earth observation satellites, including ESA's Envisat and Proba, Korea's Kompsat and France's Spot.
"This collaboration offers a unique opportunity for passengers to experience Earth's vast beauty and even get an up-close look at some of the untouched areas of the world," said ESA's director of Earth observation programmes Volker Liebig.
"While we recognise the immense importance that Earth-observing satellites have in advancing the understanding of our planet and its environment, these images allow us to appreciate the aesthetic aspects of Earth observation."
For eastbound destinations from Paris, 628 new images have been added such as the mouth of the Ganges River emptying into the Bay of Bengal and the 3776 m peak of Mount Fuji in Japan.
Passengers on flights heading west can – for the first time – enjoy the show of 390 images including the Canary Islands and Canada's shallow Foxe Basin.
The route on southbound destinations can be followed thanks to 367 new images that cover landscapes such as the vast Sahara Desert and Mount Kenya.
"Air France seeks to make each client's journey a special moment for leisure and discovery," said Christian Herzog, Senior Vice President Marketing, Air France-KLM.
"The images of the world that we offer on board our long haul flights, thanks to ESA, contribute to the journey's magic."
The collaboration began in 2007 when initially 250 images where made available on flights operating between France and India, China, Japan and Singapore. Today, the show is accessible on over 67 flights covering Asia, North and South America, Africa and Oceania.
ESA and Air France are looking into extending the service by generating complete destination coverage and, as a next step, adding visual flight animations to the Air France portal.

Yesterday was Kodomo no Hi (子供の日) or Children's Day in Japan. It's a holiday that celebrates children and their happiness. During this holiday, people string up carp flags/streamers, or koi nobori. Basically, they're a kind of wind sock. I visited Shirahata Shrine (白幡神社) in Fujisawa, near Fujisawa-honmachi Station, and was treated to a large number of very big koi nobori. Have a look.
I hope all the children will be strong this year.

Christmas Labels
Christmas Present Label Template
Christmas Labels
Christmas is a time filled with gifts, good food, and good people. But to make all that good we need other things too like presents, cards, decorations, food items and invitations. Now, for invitations we would need several different labels and people would prefer customised Christmas Label if they were to get one in that season. Now, everything that is made with love and care is way more attractive than something which is just store bought.
How to Make the Labels:
· You can make the labels at home by printing out pictures of labels that you would like on your presents, cards or invitations. Then you can buy some adhesive and stick that onto the printed paper and then just paste it onto your gift items. This also saves the job of attaching cellophane tape.
· You can go to a shop and ask for customised label printouts if you cannot make them at home. You can simply draw them out and take it to them. They will scan them and create the desired labels for you like it is done in case of tattoos.
· There are online websites where you can design your labels on your own by drawing them or by combining given designs. Then you can print them out at home or at a shop where labels are printed.
· The last one is the most creative one where you take up all your craft items and make them yourself at home. You can them put some tape or adhesive to attach them to the gifts and invitations.
This is a small and simple guide who will help you in the beginning and create something worthy of your friends and family. You can also look at the website named Fun for Christmas for more information.

Muster the troops and prepare to march, this anticipated turn-based strategy game is now ready for battle!
Staten Island, NY, June 17th, 2009 � Matrix Games (www.matrixgames.com) and Boku Strategy Games (www.bokustrategygames.com) are thrilled to announce that Horse and Musket: Volume I, Frederick the Great is now available for release! Now gamers can enjoy tons of scenarios and many new features to the popular and proven Horse and Musket game engine.
David Heath, Director of Operations at Matrix Games, said �Horse and Musket: Volume I breathes new life into a proven game system, which happens to be one of the best ever designed for 18th Century warfare. It�s been a pleasure to work with Boku Strategy Games and Double Shot Designs on this new release and we can�t wait to see what the Horse and Musket system has in store for gamers in the future!�
The Seven Years� War was fought across the globe and called by some the first �World War� as virtually every major power participated. In the center of events was Prussia, almost constantly at war and lead by the now legendary Frederick the Great.
Relive the exciting and trying days of Frederick the Great in Horse and Musket: Volume I, the improved and expanded combination of the previous Prussian War Machine and Prussia�s Glory titles. Horse and Musket: Volume I is a reboot of the successful Horse and Musket series, including not only two solid historical titles in one package, but also many new game features, a powerful new editor, and a complete graphics overhaul to an already acclaimed gaming system.
Through the classic turn-based hex system, gamers take command of a wide variety of historical units and leaders as they try to follow in Frederick�s footsteps across 10 of his famous battles, making for a whopping 40 scenarios in total. Maneuver your infantry battalions, cavalry squadrons, and artillery batteries to break the enemy lines and claim your own title as a great captain of history!
Perhaps the most important feature to celebrate with Horse and Musket: Volume I is the revival of this innovative gaming system! With many new features and improvements, this latest release still has the same engaging game mechanics that bring to life the battlefields and tactics of the 18th Century!

How to Roast a Turkey Breast-Side Down
Really, it seems like common sense, but people often ask just how to do this. Well...you flip the bird. (Insert sophomoric giggling track here.)
If you have ever bought service turkeys -- you know, the cheap ones that don't have all kinds of strange chemical injections in their breasts to make them tender and juicy -- and have been disappointed by a dry bird, try cooking it breast-side down. Trust me, once you do this you won't go back to buying over-priced, chemically-laden birds just for juicy breasts. (More sophomoric giggling.)
Take your thawed bird and rinse it all over, inside and out with warm tap water. Pat it dry. (I just shake it a bit and knock the excess water off.) If you bought a cheap turkey look around for feathers. I found about 10 on mine. (ewwwww) Poke around in cavities on both ends and find whatever goodie bags are inside. If you make giblet gravy, put your giblets in a pan. If there's a neck in there, put it in a pot to make broth for future use.
Take your thawed and rinsed bird over to your roaster and put it on breast-side down. This is what an upside-down bird looks like.
Now season up that bird! I use marjoram, thyme, rosemary, sage, parsley, and some dehydrated onion flakes. I put them all over the bird, in the cavities, and under the wings and legs. Add some water (couple cups) to the bottom of your pan to keep the bird hydrated while it roasts. No, I don't use salt.
Make a foil tent for your bird so you don't char the skin and end up eating carcinogens.
Put your bird in a 325F oven. You will be cooking the bird about 2.5 hours if it's a smaller one (8 poundsish). Otherwise do the math: 20 minutes per pound. (So 10 pounds times 20 minutes = 200 minutes = 3 hours 20 minutes. I will feel like such a dumbass if I got that wrong!) DO NOT OPEN THE OVEN. You don't need to baste your bird. The water in the bottom of the roaster will prevent moisture loss and all the juices from the fatty parts of the bird (legs, back) are dripping into the lean parts of the bird thereby making it a self-basting bird. So don't open the oven until it's time to take off the foil and insert the meat thermometer.
30 minutes before the bird is due to be done, remove the foil tent and insert a meat thermometer in the meatiest part of the bird.
Turkey is done when the meat thermometer reads 180F.
Oh, it's still pretty. Whether it's breasts or backsides that do it for you, this is dishy:
When done, remove the turkey from the oven. Let it sit about 15-20 minutes to cool before carving. I flip it onto a large platter so it's breast-side up for carving and then I carve it. (Okay, Roy carves it. Get off my back! Sheez!) So Roy carves it up, removing the skin as he goes. You're not eating the skin are you? You're not supposed to eat the skin. That's yucky. That's bad for you. Don't eat the skin. And we serve it up.
Serve some lovely homemade bread dressing with it, too!
And don't forget the cranberry jelly. No, not homemade with all those berries floating in it! The kind that makes that shlooking noise when it plops out of the can onto a serving platter. Yeh, that's the best kind. Slice it up real purty and guests will have to think awhile before they figure out it's canned.
Oh, but what about that broth, you say? Alrighty, then. Take that neck that's in a pot, cover it with water. Several cups is plenty. Add a cut up carrot and a cut up celery stalk. Add some parsley. Cook it. (Bring it to a boil, turn it way down to just simmer, keep it covered.) Cook it some more. Cook it a little bit more so it reduces and gets nice and strong-flavoured. Let it cool. Strain it all into a freezer-friendly bowl. Seal it up. Date it and put it in the freezer for another day. (Compost all that stuff you strained out of it. You can eat the meat. Or the cat can. The cat will love you forever if you let it eat the meat.)
Now let's see how those breasts stack up...
