Papaya Pie
(Caribbean papaya-filled pie)
Image by Hear.org
6 to 8 servings
- Unbaked single pie crust -- 1
- Papaya -- about 1 1/2 pounds
- Eggs, beaten -- 2
- Sugar -- 1/2 cup
- Cornstarch -- 1/4 cup
- Cinnamon -- 1/2 teaspoon
- Allspice -- 1/2 teaspoon
- Nutmeg -- 1/4 teaspoon
- Limes -- 2
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Peel the papaya. Scoop out and discard the black seeds. Cut the flesh into small chunks. You should have about 3 cups of papaya.
- Add the papaya and the remaining ingredients except for the lime to a food processor or blender and process until smooth. Zest and then juice the limes. Stir the juice and zest into the papaya.
- Pour the papaya mixture into the unbaked pie shell. Set the pie on a baking tray and set the tray in the oven. Bake for another 35 to 45 minutes, or until the filling is set in the center and a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Loosely cover the crust with aluminum foil halfway through baking to keep it from burning.
- Remove the pie from the oven and let cool for 30 minutes. Serve warm or chilled. Refrigerate leftovers.
add more cornstarch

Even after doubling the time in the oven, the pie would not set. I would advise adding additional cornstarch or a third egg to help it setup.

A Survivor's Guide to the off-season
NHLHS Correspondent Christina Roberts understands where you're at right now, what with the NHL season having officially ended. In this article, she gives you some tips on how to make it through the off-season.
If you're reading this, then congratulations! You have made it through the onslaught of playoff games and the heart attacks and heartbreaks that come in tow and you are now looking at a solid three months without any National Hockey League games. You are asking yourself the same question as me and millions of others:
What the hell do I do now?
Hockey is part of your daily diet. Without those sixty-to-sixty-five-minute games, what are you supposed to do? It leaves you with two-and-a-half hours open in your evenings, and what good is that time now? Get work accomplished around the house? Please. Do homework? That's what all-nighters are for. Catch up with friends? They know where to find you if they wanted to hang out (and chances are with your obsession, they stopped trying years ago). Go outside? It's freezing out! Wait…unseasonable warmth…? Wait, it's June?!
You're wondering how you can face these next coming months with your chin held high and confidence built up in your chest.
Do you want the honest answer or the sugar-coated one?
The honest answer is: You can't. It's not possible. When you're so immersed in the sport, living without it for three months is worse than torture.
The sugar-coated answer is: There's help out there for you. We all go through this every year, and every year we don't understand how we made it through the year before. Well, at least this year I was smart enough to create this helpful little survival guide to the off-season. It gives you different options on how you can make it through the next 90-odd days or so.
Plus, you would think with the league going on one hundred years old, they would understand the hockey grieving process in the off-season so that by this point, they would have an official Youtube channel with legitimate grief counselors helping us fans make it through the next twelve weeks or so. But I digress…
First, I have to ask if you completely shut yourself off from hockey for these three months. If you do this because you think it's better to get rid of all hockey rather than hearing a vague mention and getting your hopes up that it's closer to October than you think, then stop reading now. This will only make things much worse.
Or if your team just won the Stanley Cup, you're not allowed to complain. You get a summer of bliss and partying. We all kind of hate you just a little bit. I say "a little bit," but I really mean "definitely."
If not, please continue on.
Hockey timeline. Hockey is still alive and active for summer – there just aren't any games. Space out all of the big hockey dates throughout the summer. Mark them on your calendar at home and at work. Think of them as benchmarks to get you to October. Case in point:
June 22 – NHL Awards
June 24-25 – NHL Entry Draft
July 1 – Free Agency Circus. Be prepared to constantly refresh TSN, CBC, Facebook, Twitter, The New York Times, The Winnipeg Free Press, ESPN, and any relevant apps on your phones every ten minutes starting at 12pm sharp.
Mid/Late July – Release of 2011-2012 Schedules
August 1-7 – Select Which Games You Will Be Attending
Mid August – Ken Holland ends up making a quiet signing that will more than likely lead the Detroit Red Wings to the Cup. But there's only like a 90 percent chance of this happening.
Mid September – Training Camp Begins
End of September – Preseason
October – DROP THE PUCK ALREADY
Once free agency begins, it's kind of a stretch. Hockey news gets slow and there isn't much to digest. But you have to make it work or you'll never make it to training camp in September.
Stay away from Youtube. If you're the kind of person who can make it through the off-season hearing about hockey without losing your composure, but completely fall apart if you catch even a second of a game, do not go to Youtube to watch any sort of hockey highlights from any time period. Trust me, you will just end up relapsing. And it gets ugly. That happened to me in the summer of 2009; I watched Darren Helm's breakaway goal against Anaheim in Game Seven of the the semi-finals sometime in mid-July and I was lost for the rest of the summer.
Instead, find something else to watch. Instead of watching Don Cherry rant about Matt Cooke, watch a video on how to cook a cherry pie from scratch. Just don't look up "Panther Attack" or you might view a clip about the Florida Panthers. Wait, scratch that.
However, if you're the kind of person who can't make it through the off-season without seeing hockey every single day, then set Youtube as your home page for the next three months. Watch a clip when you first wake up, watch one at lunch, watch one or more during the afternoon lull, watch one around dinner time, watch an entire game at night. Thank goodness for Youtube!
(And as an added bonus to the Youtube part, don't forget about hockey movies, too. Those are pretty good cures for the hockey hunger pangs.)
Open ice skating at your local ice arenas.
It's not the same thing in the least. But hey, hearing the sound of skates on ice, seeing the boards, the benches, the penalty boxes, the lines, the creases, the faceoff circles…you will definitely feel at home. It may just bring tears to your eyes reminiscing about the highs and lows of the year.
On the same note as this, you could also join an intramural league. Or if you're not one for playing the sport, go to your local arena and watch random games. It may be pee-wee, it may be teenage girls, it may be fifty-year-old men, but it may just fulfill your desire to watch a game of hockey again. And hey, there's a fight no matter what league you're watching (trust me, my fourteen-year-old neighbor started a full-out team brawl on her hockey team. Twice).
Baseball. It's America's pastime. And it always seems to be on television, so why not give it a chance?
And hey, it's a sport. And it's better than basketball (which just ended anyway). Baseball has always been that backup-channel staple. You're reading this section of the guide and giving your computer screen one of the two following looks:
1. Baseball is a given temporary solution to a lack of hockey.
2. Baseball is even more boring on TV than it is in real life, and it could never compete with hockey.
So this option can be a hit or a strike for you.
If it's a strike, and you're lucky enough to either live in Canada or live close enough to get some of their channels, start tuning in to the CBC at random times. Whether you want to catch a curling match or just the soothing sound of a Canadian accent, the CBC fulfills those needs. And if The Red Green Show just happens to be on, you're in for some excellent entertainment.
Video games. Specifically hockey video games. I've been told that NHL '11 for XBox is absolutely amazing. This virtual hockey can easily fulfill your hockey needs. Pick your favorite team, start the 2010-2011 NHL season all over again, and play the next three months away. Just don't freak out when you can't pull that monster trade off in the game like your team did in real life.
Unless, of course, you're that person who can't watch hockey over the summer and you still continued reading this. Thanks for that. But if that is the case, then hockey video games don't work. Instead, play anything non-hockey related. Super Mario Brothers Wii is terribly addicting when you play with two or more people. There's always the new-ish Portal 2. Or really any games that don't involve hockey.
Spending time in the summer weather. It is, in fact, now summertime. And it always arrives around this time of year, every year. There's much less reason to stay inside now that it's in the eighties outside (or hotter/colder, depending on where you live) rather than in the heat of the NHL season when, on a good day, it's somewhere around 20F.
So go out to the nearby park and do stuff. Go swimming in your neighbor's pool whether they like it or not. Bask in the glorious sunlight we don't see for weeks at a time come six months from now. Do things that take your mind away from the sport you're missing.
Just try not to be too afraid of natural light, or bees, or your crazy neighbor down the street whose team just lost Game 7 of the Stanley Cup Finals.
Don't forget, too, that you can always start playing roller or street hockey. If you're in desperate need for any sort of hockey fix (and this goes along with the open-ice skating option), this will do the trick. Trust me – I'm quite thankful all of my neighbors are home this summer so we can set up the tarp and net in front of their garage and practice our shootout attempts on a goalie whose pads are pretty much the size of shin guards.
Shopping spree. Specifically, a hockey shopping spree. I'm not one for shopping (at all), but I have found that in my times of desperation (or severe depression), buying any sort of hockey-related items makes everything seem a little bit better. Head out to your local mall, go directly into the sports store and surround yourself with the familiar memorabilia. I can't tell you how elated I feel when I walk out of that store with a new shirt or blanket or puck with that winged wheel imprinted on the front.
And this works for the non-hockey-watchers, too, because you're not watching hockey. You're just facing the logo of your team; you're not actually watching them play. It gives you that little connection to them to add that spark of happiness into your day. And that little spark can easily fuel you through the following days and bring the official puck drop that much closer.
Lots and lots of beer. I won't lie to you – I had to ask for help from people on this article. After about Item Number Three, I was all out of ideas. It's hard to survive the off-season. So I turned to friends and Twitter followers and one major consensus was beer. We are hockey fans after all, and there's always beer at games. Why not indulge in it during the off-season as well? Heck, maybe the days will go by a little faster, too.
If you're still lost after reading all of this article, I really can't do anything else for you. Just know that there is help out there for you in the most unlikely places.
Never forget that you're not alone. We're all in this off-season together.

The Baltimore Ravens are in desperate need of any kind of receiving threat. They've lost Anquan Boldin & Dennis Pitta for good, and a number of other receiving threats are no the mend with injuries.
According to Aaron Wilson of the Baltimore Sun, the Ravens plan to sign free agent wide receiver Brandon Stokley to a contract
Stokley originally entered the NFL when the Ravens made him their fourth-round draft pick in 1999 back to the organization.
Ironically, Stokley returns to the franchise who helped lead to their first Super Bowl titlee. He caught three passes for 52 yards and a 38-yard touchdown pass to help lead the Ravens to their first Super Bowl victory in a 34-7 win over the New York Giants in Super Bowl XXXV.
Last season with the Denver Broncos, Stokley caught 45 passes for 544 yards and five touchdowns.
It's unlikely the 13-year NFL pro will make his preseason debut this week, given his age and need to take in the Ravens playbook. He'll be competing with Torrey Smith, Jacoby Jones and Deonte Thompson for playing time at WR.

Senator attempts to censor NRA-sponsored NASCAR race
As Rob Port points out, the letter sent by Senator Chris Murphy to Rupert Murdoch (asking that Fox not air a NASCAR race tomorrow night because it is sponsored by the National Rifle association) fits the definition of attempted censorship.
Murphy sent this letter after NASCAR rebuffed his attempts to get the sponsorship dropped. NASCAR's most recent response points out that the sponsorships are actually deals between the tracks and sponsors and also that the governing body takes no positions on any political debates.
Of course, Murphy attempts to exploit Newtown in his letters and he also accuses Fox of endorsing a position that is at odds with Murdoch's personal position. Murphy also seems upset that this is taking place during the middle of the Senate debate on gun control legislation.
Murphy is also upset that firearms are given to the winner at the end of the race and that they are fired (using blanks.) Of course, he doesn't mention that's a tradition that predates the NRA sponsorship of the race or the fact that six-shooters (revolvers) are used.
NASCAR team owner Richard Childress (who owns several teams and was the car owner for Dale Earnhardt, Sr.) is a member of the NRA Board of Directors.

The UFC on Fox 5 fighter salaries were released to MMAWeekly.com on Wednesday by the Washington Department of Licensing.
Benson Henderson continued his reign atop the UFC lightweight division, dominating Nate Diaz, while Alexander Gustafsson and Rory MacDonald continued their ascension up the ranks of their respective divisions.
The following figures are based on the fighter salary information that promoters are required by law to submit to the state athletic commissions, including the winners' bonuses.
Although mixed martial arts fighters do not have collective bargaining or a union, the fighters' salaries are still public record, just as with every other major sport in the United States. Any undisclosed bonuses that a promoter also pays its fighters, but does not disclose to the athletic commissions (specifically, pay-per-view bonuses, fight of the night bonuses, etc.), are not included in the figures below.
Benson Henderson: $78,000 (includes $39,000 win bonus)
def. Nate Diaz: $50,000
Alexander Gustafsson: $60,000 (includes $30,000 win bonus)
def. Mauricio Rua: $175,000
Rory MacDonald: $42,000 (includes $21,000 win bonus)
def. BJ Penn: $150,000
Matt Brown: $54,000 (includes $27,000 win bonus)
def. Mike Swick: $48,000
Yves Edwards: $32,000 (includes $16,000 win bonus)
def. Jeremy Stephens: $24,000

def. Nam Phan: $10,000
Scott Jorgensen: $41,000 (includes $20,500 win bonus)
def. John Albert: $10,000
how is it a relic like Penn makes $150,000 to show up and get his ass kicked, and the Champ Henderson get's $78,000 for defending his belt?
Because BJ Penn sells fights and has been around for a lot longer than Henderson.
I have never bought a pay per view because BJ Penn and I sure did not watch this card because of the Penn vs McDonald fight. I watch it to see Diaz get handled. Shogun is more relevant than Penn, and he didn't make as much as Penn.
Can you read numbers? Shogun made $25,000 more than Penn. And all of you don't realize that each of these fighters made at least 5 figures from sponsorship. I would be surprised if Henderson doesn't get over 100 grand from Dethrone for wearing that shirt.
Yes but they all get endorsements. 100k sounds high. If they all get endorsements then that means the fight money should go back to merit. But who knows what they get paid just for working for UFC and what deals exist that don't get published
I love Henderson, but BJ Penn might still be the most popular fighter in the world next to Silva.
Sry man, GSP is the undisputed king of PPV
Did you not hear the crowd? BJ was cheered far more than anyone else. A lot of people have bought a lot of PPV's because of BJ Penn…just because you are not a fan doesn't change what a huge draw he is for the sport.
My point is Henderson and Diaz was the main event, the head of the card. That is who I think should be the highest paid.
Its crazy that the Camp doesn't make more than the rest, but its nice to
see that the older guys on their way out are getting more money.
You must be new to MMA, Welcome!
I have watched the UFC since their first pay-per-view. BJ Penn was relevant 5 years ago and my whole point is why is the main card not the highest paid card? If you're going to pay Shogun 175,000 and Penn 150,000, why is the Main event and Champion making 78,000? I don't care about all the rhetoric, no explanation will make sense IMO.
"no explanation will make sense IMO."
Because Penn Shogun fills more seats and sells more PPV than Diaz or Henderson regardless of where they are on the card or whether or not they have Belts !
Take Henderson vs Diaz off the card and i would still put up decent ratings, Remove The Penn and Shogun fights and the numbers drop dramatically !
It makes perfect sense !
I once heard that UFC fighters were highly underpaid. After seeing this, it's obvious that they are!!! The UFC probably made millions on this event and this is how they pay the fighters that make the millions for them? Look at boxers and how they are paid. They don't have to worry about possible broken arms or legs like ufc fighters but they get paid 10 times this amount. It's ridiculous!!!
This isnt all the make.How many times does this need to be said. And please go check what guys are making on the undercard of boxing fights.Not just the main event before you post such ignorant comments as this
I thin They're under payed but you have to look at the Advertising money the fighters get that not including in the list and some fighters get more from their sponsors than their salaries!Like GSP now gets bout 175 grand/fight but he makes about 2.5 million a year besides His fighting fighting $$$ Actually boxing Pay/views make way more money than UFThe Pacquiao vs Marquez 4 made 11 million at Gate and sold 1.4 million Pay/views for $.60 a pop That's over 90 million Dollars compared to UFC 153 Anderson Silva vs Stephan Bonnar which did 360 thousand pay/view sales with 40 dollars a pop and 1.8 million at the gate just over 16 million total!And of course the advertisement it's probably 25 times higher on the boxing than UFC Pacquiao made 25 million and Marquez made 9 million Now that's a huge difference on the fighters salary but they are 2 of the best and most popular fighters Manny#1 popular and Marquez is #17popular.But over all Boxing is hugely much more dangerous than MMA.Boxing they're go for 36 minutes and a Boxer gets hit up to 3-400 times in the head compared to an MMa fighter 50-120 times.There was never a Crippling or czusing Death injury in MMA there's 46 Pro Boxing Deaths in Wikipedia but these are only the Pro boxer whom died and there was hundreds of crippling injuries!So I say Boxing is way more Danderous!Well that's it Cheers Happy Holidays my friend!!!
I'm talking about the purse for the fights. I know the boxers and ufc fighters get money from other areas. I'm only talking about the purse of the fights, boxers receive a lot more money than ufc fighters.
It is called GREED! I would like to represent the fighters for every singe card, and fix that. And I would not even want ten percent. I would be very happy to get one percent, just for the good of the sport. The UFC WILL screw you out of anything that they get a chance to, and the fighters get no say in the matter.
And if you don't believe me, just ask me!
thats ridiculous how much they make
The champ's a big boy and can do his own negotiations but look at the link for UFC on Fox 4 and see how much Machida was paid for a non-title fight and no win bonus. Swick made as much money on 4 as the champ did on this fight.
Totally off subject but I noticed they never post drug testing results whenever GSP fights. hmmmmmm
They also make money from their sponsors. That money is a lot more than what they get paid by UFC.
Terrible! Benson Henderson $78,000? That is ridiculous!
id put on gloves and shorts right now and fight rory for 150,000 shitttttttttttttt
What BS it is that only 2 fighters made over$100000 for their fights and they both lost. Ben Henderson needs to redo his contract, $78000 is pathetic for the champion in arguably the most stacked division in the UFC…
You might want to research it a little more. I watched a show that interviewed a few big named fighters like Tito ( if I'm remember correctly, it may have been Chuck), anyway, there was also a big right up in the newspaper both talking about ufc fighters being severely underpaid especially when compared to boxers. A lot of ufc fighters fight more fights per year than boxers. So maybe they make around the same amount per year but it doesn't compare when it comes to pay out per fight. For example, Floyd Mayweather made $40 million in his last fight. I googled, "what's the most money a ufc fighter has ever made in a ufc fight" and the answer is Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira at $460,000 on May 10th, 2012. Do the math and that is nearly 10 times the amount. Antonio isn't even the most popular ufc fighter but it says that he received fight of the night honors and total earnings for that night was $460,000. I like ufc a lot more than boxing, to me there's no comparison, but I wished they paid ufc fighters more money per fight.
What you are referring to is disclosed pay, which is different from the actual amount of money that fighters like GSP and Anderson Silva make after taking in their share of PPV revenue, under the table bonuses, etc. Why Dana likes to keep the actual amount of money these guys make under wraps, I do not know. He says it is because he thinks it is in the fighters best interests to not have the actual figures published…I suspect he has other reasons. Everybody knows that the superstars of boxing are paid much better than the superstars of the UFC. My point was that for every guy like Floyd Mayweather making 40 million, there are a hundred boxers making $4,000. Do I think it is right that Mayweather's disclosed pay was almost a hundred times more than Nogueira's disclosed pay…no I don't. Would I like to see UFC fighters all paid even better than they are…of course. But the fact is, the average boxer makes about the same or less than the average UFC fighter, and 10 years ago the UFC was nearly going bankrupt. Give the sport another twenty years to develop and there will be no comparison.
I know that the ufc fighters are contracted more money. But my point is, in the newspaper and that show that I was talking about, top ufc fighters were complaining about being underpaid. They were comparing their pay with boxers and their biggest complaint was the fact that boxers got paid a lot more than they did. One fighter even said that there wasn't a comparison. Fighters from the under cards all the way up to the main event, ufc fighters are paid less. It's a fact that has been going on for a while now. The reason the ufc was bankrupt when Dana got envolved, was because it was poorly managed. I'm not saying they don't get paid a lot of money, because they do. I'm saying they should get paid more than boxers, in my opinion, but they don't.
MMA is still just an infant compared to boxing. It's just now starting to really take off and be viewed as a legitimate contest, and taken out of the "human cock fighting" persona it was once branded with. In the United States MMA (side show) started in 1993 and not to mention the Zuffa owned (legitimate) UFC you see today didn't take off till 2001. So if you think about it your really watching an organization thats just 11 years old (under Zuffa ownership) thats already made way more progress than I anticipated given the amount of time they have done it in. So of course MMA fighters don't make as much money as the superstar boxers do. Boxing or prize fighting has been around since the early 1800′s. My point is the more the UFC develops the more money the fighters will make in the future. Compare Royce Gracie's earnings in 11 UFC bouts in the mid 1990′s to the current day earnings of Tom Lawlor's or Alan Belcher's in a single year and you will see a significant increase in payouts. Thats comparing the superstar to the middle of the pack fighters. Fighters today are still paving the way for future fighters. In business you must start from the ground up. Thats why the UFC has become MMA's most successful organization. While others like Affliction, WEC, Elite XC, WFA, Pride, and Strikeforce have all failed.
Dennis Siver makes 62000×4 fights a year= 248,000 from reported show money. Mix in sponsors, bonuses and extra money the ufc doesn't report this guy could be making 350,000 a year as an under card fighter. How many people posting here make 350,000 dollars pre tax. In America that dude is in the 1% of wealth and top tax bracket. So anyone saying there not getting paid needs to cry me a river.

What is the difference between a Redneck and a Hillbilly?
Aren't they the same thing?

hillbilly is a characteristic of a redneck. A redneck is a racist hillbilly. A hillbilly isn't necessarily racist but just a barnyard animal overall wearing, straw chewing, shirtless, barefoot, smelly pig from the deep south who has no manners and eats with his feet on the table. It's always a white person
redneck is a country person…….a hillbilly, is more separated from society, and usually lives in the boonies in the middle of no where
A redneck is somebody who gets drunk, invites all their friends over, and breaks things. And a hillbilly is somebody who lives in the back woods of tenesse that has kids with their own family.
Rednecks- stooping in the fields or driving trucks all day.
Hillbillies- living in the backwoods, hills and hollows.
Rednecks are more inclined to be macho, tough, proud.
Hillbillies mainly want to be left on their own.
For what it's worth…
We're front porch sit'n, guitar pick'n, whiskey sip'n, chew spitt'n, country folks, we love fried chicken, bass fish'n, deer hunt'n and outlaw women. fast cars, fast women, johnny walker, johnny cash and john Deere. and for all u city people that do nothing ur whole life but complain and try to impress everybody else you can kiss my country boy ass.

This small collection assists in illustrating the fact that fashionable gender theories fail to explain violence. Accurate study of historical facts can shed light on sociopaths and their behavior much better than politically correct indoctrination programs.
Violence is not "gendered."
1863 – Delia Broderick – New York, N.Y. – Two women kill a boy with red pepper by rubbing it in his mouth, nose and eyes.
1871 – Agnes Norman – England – Arrested at age 15. Two or three children, a dog, two cats, six or eight birds, and some gold fish, had all fallen victims to her unnatural propensity for destruction before her crime was discovered. One little boy, aged eleven years, testified that one night he awoke by feeling something hurting him, and upon looking up found this delectable young woman, who lived as a servant in the same house, stooping over him with one hand on his mouth, and the other tightly grasping his throat.
1887 – Ellen Jones – Little Rock, Arkansas – She beat the a 2-year-old boy until he would be convulsed with spasms and then strip his clothes off, tie his hands behind and leave it a prey to the flies for hours.
1893 – Mary Pushman – Butte, Montana – A mother gave her baby pins with its liquid food, stuck pins in its tongue and tortured it to death.
1901 – Mrs. Dora Schwarting – San Francisco, Ca. – Midwife who repeatedly assaulted a 10-year old girl in her care whenever the child displeased her.
1902 – "Romanian Bandit Queen of Jassy" – Charged with 86 murders, "this woman brigand is exceptionally cruel, and is held responsible for a considerable number of particularly atrocious crimes and outrages. Not content with massacring her victims, she frequently has them tortured before being put to death. She seems to delight in refinements of cruelty." [Note: The nationality of this bandit seems to have been, as was common in English language reports on Eastern Europe at the time. Further research must be conducted].
1915 – Mrs. Steele – Muskegon, Michigan – Mrs. Albert Steele, of Muskegon, Wisconsin, murdered her 11-year-old step-daughter out of jealousy for her husband's love for the child. The murder took place in 1915. Other women have done such things for the same reason, but Mrs. Steele went about her business in a fashion that was unusual. She tied the girl to a chair, blindfolded her and then poured acid down her throat. Then, in an effort to simulate a botched abortion in order to give an explanation for the death as well as providing support for a false allegation of incest to be used after the "abortion" was discovered, the step-mother, mutilated the corpse and threw the naked body in an alley, partially covering it with sand. Mrs. Steele was convicted and sentenced to life in prison.
1916 – Jennie Lodwick – Youngstown, Ohio – Mrs. Lodwick, according to her husband's divorce filings, employed carbolic acid along with a dizzying array of devices to make him miserable.
1922 – Kate Webber – Cincinnati, Ohio – mother burned boy's thumb with a clothing iron to cure him of thumb sucking.
1938 – Dorothy Boelhauff – San Diego, California – Mother whipped her 6-year-old foster son with a ruler, because "he wouldn't button his coat and tie his shoes," then locked him in a closet. He died.
1946 – Lottie Woodside – Mineola, N. Y. – Woman attacks 3-year-old neighbor boy with hatchet and saw.
1948 – Shirleen Kunin – Los Angeles, California – frequently whipped 2-year-old daughter, once turned a garden hose in the baby's mouth, and several times left the child unattended.
1966 – Mrs. Gertrude Baniszewski – Indianapolis, In. – one of the most infamous torture-murders in American history; long term torture of a teen-aged girl.
1978 – Catherine L. Sherriod – Norfolk, Virginia – A woman regularly beat her 10 and 13-year old stepdaughters with a stick. Finally the 10-year-old died from one of the beatings.
2008 – Rita Makekau – Waianae, Hawaii – "Imagine getting hit in the teeth with a hammer, or having a broom handle shoved down your throat. Five children say those are the kinds of attacks they suffered over a four-year period."
2008 – Klara Mauerova – Brno, Czech Republic – cult member mother tortured her two young sons mercilessly over a period of six months. She sluiced off pieces of one of the boys' skin and served the flash to other cult members and forced the victim to eat portions of his own mutilated body.
2010 – Lucy Viner-Mood & Lois Gibson – Langton Green, England – Two young women attacked the love rival of one of them, scalded her with boiling water and sugar during a "sadistic" 18-hour ordeal. They also cut the victim's hair, knocked her unconscious and woke her up by stubbing a cigarette out on her back, used a heavy metal neck chain was used to hit her around the head, kicked and struck her repeatedly with a high-heeled shoe.
2011 – Amy Marie Imler – Odessa, Texas – Woman accused of torturing her 8-year-old asthmatic daughter by pouring hot sauce in her eyes, smashing a kitten's head in front of her, forcing her to eat cat feces, kicking her, "hog tying" her and withholding food.

2012 – Kerry Howle – Chesterton, Staffordshire, England – A woman forced a15-year-old boy to drink his own urine, to eat a mouldy sausage roll which she had spat on and coated in cigarette ash, made him lick up his own blood after striking him, and made horrifying threats.

Asian religions/philosophies better prepare an individual for pursuits of "divine reality" than that of Western traditions.
Cognitive scientist today (of Western Academics) are predominantly declaring the close association between Buddhist philosophies of "mind" and the today's advancements/discoveries in neurology/psychology. The interesting factors lay in how accurate these philosophers were hundreds of years prior to the precision of science that Academics prize so much today. How and why?
Not only has meditation been proven to achieve higher levels of cognitive awareness, but proven to essentially super activate the brain.
Also, the "second brain" - search engine phrase. Has been a philosophy involving "Chakra," again hundreds of years prior to the precision science of today.
A point of debate here should be: Why is science and philosophy divided when both of their foundations are one of another?
During my pursuits of Eastern Philosophy in comparison to Western Philosophies I found that the most general difference can be seen in metaphysics that is traditionalized in both cultures. In the East Qi is the driving force behind everything; everything is constantly changing. While in the West our idea of matter is static, traditionally. Again why and how?
In brevity, I find the fact we championed Abrahamic religions in place of the naturalistic-atheistic religions of the east, in history, ultimately made the west divide science and philosophy. I will take from Iain McGilchrist here; the West championed the "servant" we elevated the individuals whom are responsible for great ideas instead of elevating the great ideas.
Buddhism, Taoism, Shinto and Confucianism - religions whom are more accurately "schools of philosophy" than "religions" because as the times changed they all adopted/adapted from one another. They correspond with science advancements with no confrontations because they prize ambiguities and openness. I see this most apparent in the number of citizens in each set of cultures.
Reality cannot be defined in precise terms today (atomism), but in holism.

Avi DeyNov 13 2011: Thanks for your thoughtful question and comments relating to this important topic. I have been interested in comparing "eastern' and 'western" cultures and spiritual values for many years, in fact all of my life, My childhood was spent in India, with strong roots to Hindu/Buddhist spirtiual and cultural values. But I have spent my adult life here in USA, western culture. Asian Americans do very well in America in terms of education and as entrepreneurs in the tecchnology driven society in America. Much has to do with "famiily values" I think based on my own experience and others. But Western Cultures have certain values that are certainly better that eastern cultural hertiage. "Interaction" I hope to discuss in my proposed TED "Debate" that examines two parallel debates on going for several centuries now, "Religion vs Science" and "Nature vs Nurturre". Whis is more imprtant , scholars have been arguing this that now needs to be continued in light of scientific understanding that has emerged about "Genes" in the last 25 years particularly that was not known before ! We are all a "prisoner" of our genes and our culture ! Makes sense ?
Nov 13 2011: We could be prisoners of our natures and nurtures if we do not reflect on them.
However, if we have the anticipation that we are biological machines, then we realize we cannot - beat - nature with nurture but we can - work with - nature to enhance nurtures. Nature was here first, nurturing can just start the disputes and understandings, but nature will always win.
I know philosophies of genes, atoms, and even brain capacities have been disputed on for centuries, and it is a shame that it takes "precision science" in order to say this is credible and this is not...

Semiconductor standout: Cree
There's great demand for the company's energy-efficient products and the stock has been on a roll.
By Eric Dutram
Now that we are in the heart of earnings season, many investors are zeroing in on company reports to drive the market. While investors seem to be pretty bullish on financials for this quarter, one segment that may also provide some earnings growth is technology.
However, not just any tech company will do, as you will need to drill down into a few key segments for strong earnings growth. In particular, the semiconductor segment could be an interesting choice, thanks to the surging stock prices of many companies in this corner of the tech world. A number of semiconductor companies fit the bill as solid investments during this time frame, but one stands out for its promise this earnings season: Cree (CREE).
CREE in focus
Cree is a North Carolina company that focuses on LED products that are used in a number of applications, including game displays, automobiles, signage, among others. Beyond its LED division, the company also makes power conversion products, Radio Frequency-based items, and semiconductor materials as well.
The company is becoming increasingly well-known as demand grows for energy efficient applications across the board. Plus, it doesn't hurt that the company's stock has risen by almost 200% in the past 52 weeks alone. While this is obviously an already amazing level of growth, there is plenty of reason to believe that this trend can continue, especially if you look to earnings estimates for the company.
Estimate picture
The consensus is looking for earnings growth of 87.5% for the current quarter and then 100% growth for the next quarter. Meanwhile, for the current year and next year periods, earnings growth is expected to come in at a robust 60%+ for both periods.
Estimates have also been rising lately, with all in the past 90 days rising. In fact, the most recent analyst estimates -- for the next quarter and next year periods -- were up 10%, suggesting that expectations are continuing to rise for CREE.
While this might be concerning to some investors, especially with the lofty growth that is baked into the company's projections, CREE does have a good track record of beating or meeting analyst expectations. The company has met or topped expectations in all five of the last earnings reports, including double-digit beats in two of the last four.
Thanks to these factors, the company has earned itself a Zacks Rank No. 1 ("strong buy"), suggesting that it could outperform in the months ahead as well. Plus, the stock has a Zacks recommendation of "outperform," meaning that the longer term look is also favorable.
To top things off, the Zacks Industry Rank for this corner of the semiconductor market is ranked extremely well. In fact, the industry is actually the highest ranked one, bar none, in our classification system, suggesting that the space is well poised to rise this earnings season too.
Bottom line
As companies try to become more energy efficient, Cree's products look to become more in demand. This could continue to boost CREE's surging stock, and make this top ranked company a solid investment.
This is especially true given how bullish many analysts are on the company and its solid history at earnings season. And then when you add in the number one overall Zacks Industry Rank, investors could definitely still have a winner on their hands.

These are not cutting-edge of technology items, for the most part, so the article should have mentioned something about potential competitors.

America's Test Kitchen Roast Chicken
Sorry accidentally got this in cooking tools by mistake. I am not intentionally posting to all forums.
This weekend ATK had an easy roast chicken that did not involve brining. Unfortunately I did not get the recipe down at the time. All I remember is no brining and you set the oven high at like 450 and cook it till a certain internal temp, then turn off the oven and wait for it to rise to a second internal temp.
Anyone have the recipe? Thanks
This sounds like the recipe. It was the first one listed on their site, so I guess it was on recently.
Hope that helps.
re: dmjordan
That is probably it. But its blocked out. I don't have membership.
re: Atochabsh
You go to americastestkitchentv.com. At the top of the page is the link to register for free. Not the same as paid membership. Once you register and log in to the site, you will get free access to this season's recipes. Not to single you out in particular, but this seems to be a sticking point for others as well. I just finished spoon-feeding a paraphrased recipe to someone else who claimed inability to access it, although I reiterated that I do not have a paid membership.
re: greygarious
I just wanted to let you know Grey, that they ask for a credit card in order to sign up for the free 14 day trial. It then says you can cancel anytime within the 14 days and you won't be charged. However, I will not give my cc for free anything. Probably that is why the others couldn't access the recipes either...This is from the link you posted on the Roast Beef thread.
See below:
You WILL NOT be billed until your free trial ends. Cancel anytime.
$24.95 ANNUAL Website Membership
$3.95 MONTHLY Website Membership
VISA MasterCard American Express Discover
Credit Card Number:
Expiration Date:
Your credit card information is guaranteed 100% safe and
secure by Verisign.
TERMS AND CONDITIONS: Your free trial membership will begin when you click "Start Free Trial". Simply cancel anytime in your first 14 days and your card will not be billed. If you are enjoying your membership, simply do nothing. At the end of your 14-Day trial period, we will bill the payment method you have provided above according to the membership option you selected.
Your membership will renew automatically on the anniversary of your enrollment. If you have chosen an annual membership, we will send you an e-mail renewal reminder before your membership's renewal. Either the most current annual renewal fee will be billed to your card or we will send you an invoice.
You can cancel your membership at any time and receive a refund for the balance of your membership. You can also contact us at any time to upgrade from a monthly membership to an annual membership. Please send refund or upgrade requests to email@example.com.
CANCELLATION: You have the right to cancel your paid membership at any time. Cancellation will take effect as soon as CooksCountry.com receives your cancellation request. You will be refunded for the number of full months remaining on your paid membership (no refunds for partial months). When you cancel, access to your membership is immediately terminated. All prior sales are excluded.
Update: when you click on the link above, posted by dmjordan, you still have to give your address, email, etc, or make up a fake, but you can see the recipes on this site, only this season though, as opposed to Cooks Country, where you have to give the cc. What is the difference between the two anyway?
re: Jerseygirl111
They do NOT ask for a cc number when you REGISTER FOR FREE, which is NOT the same as a trial membership, where they do require the cc number. You do not have to give a cc number for free registration via www.cookscountrytv.com, either.
On both, you can see recipes for the current TV season without a paid or trial membership.
re: greygarious
One says "Free 14 day trial membership" and the other you have to click on "Register for Free" Are you kidding me? Quite confusing if you ask me. It's as if they are trying to trick you into signing up with the cc to get the recipe...
And if it's too much of a hassle to post the recipe (copy-paste) then don't do it. You don't have to berate people. Yeesh.
Just a quick reminder folks, that posting links to recipes is fine, but reposting copyrighted recipes isn't permitted. http://chowhound.chow.com/topics/406906
I did this from memory:
- butterfly the bird; salt and pepper well on both sides
- place chopped onion etc in a half sheet baking pan; top with a rack
- place the bird on that (skin up)
- roast 30 minutes at 450 (internal temperature should be about 130F)
- turn off oven, and let sit 30 minutes (internal temperature should be about 165)
The result was quite juicy, and came off the thigh bone cleanly. But next time I think I'll leave the oven on a bit longer, or just reduce it to low (200). The bird seemed a bit cool (on the outside) when I took it out, and the joints could have been cooked better. But this was a large 5lb bird. It is also possible that my oven looses heat faster than ATK's.
The chopped vegetables (was this part of this recipe or another ATK?) where still crunchy, so I didn't try to serve them. Instead they went into the stock pot with the bones.

Via Larry Brown Sports:
The Los Angeles Kings won their first Stanley Cup in franchise history and will be receiving their championship rings on opening day. Even though their rings aren't supposed to be unveiled until then, it looks like there has already been a leak.
According to Puck Daddy, Francesca Leiweke, the daughter of AEG CEO Tim Leiweke (AEG owns the Kings), shared a photo on her Instagram account Thursday of the ring seen above. She later deleted her post, but the photo was preserved by a Twitter user for all of us to see.
The Kings actually had a press conference on Thursday to celebrate the new season beginning, and they sent their ice girls around to local McDonald's to raffle off replica rings. It's possible Leiweke was just sharing a picture of a replica ring. Either way, we still have a good idea of what the rings will look like.

Here are some of the latest health and medical news
developments, compiled by the editors of HealthDay:
In Mice, Drug Helps Heart Repair Itself
A drug designed to help the heart repair itself after a heart
attack proved successful in mice.
Researchers at University College London in the U.K. found that
the drug, thymosin beta 4, was able to "prime" the heart for repair
if it was given to mice before a heart attack,
BBC News reported.
The ability of the heart to pump out blood increased 25 percent
in the mice, scar tissue was reduced, and the walls of the heart
became thicker, according to the researchers.
The findings appear in the journal
Currently, damage caused by a heart attack is considered
permanent. Heart self-repair is the "holy grail of heart research,"
but any such treatment in humans is years away, the British Heart
Foundation told
BBC News.
All-Electronic, Home-Based Drug Study a First
Patients will use smartphones and computers to take part in a
new drug trial believed to be the first all-electronic, home-based
study of a drug approved by the U.S. Food and Drug
Pfizer Inc. said the findings from the study of the
overactive-bladder drug Detrol will be compared to a previous,
traditional study of the drug that included 600 patients, the
Wall Street Journal reported.
Patients for the new study are being recruited through Internet
ads and directed to the study's website.
If successful, the methods used in the all-electronic study
might eventually help reduce the high cost of getting new medicines
to market, a Pfizer official told the
Wall Street Journal.
More Than 300 New E. Coli Cases in Germany
The number of people reported sick in a deadly E. coli outbreak
in Germany is rising, but government officials claim there is hope
the outbreak is abating.
On Wednesday, Germany's national disease control center told the
Associated Press that the number of reported cases increased
by more than 300 since Tuesday, to a total of 2,648. That tally
includes 700 people with a serious complication that can cause
kidney failure.
The Robert Koch Institute also said that another person had died
in Germany, bringing the death toll there to 24. In addition,
another E. coli death was reported in Sweden.
Despite the rise in reported cases, German Health Minister
Daniel Bahr noted there is often a delay in the reporting time and
the number of new infections "are clearly going down," the
AP reported.
Many U.S. Employers May Cut Worker Health Insurance
Nearly one-third of U.S. employers could stop offering health
insurance to their workers after most of the new health care law
takes effect in 2014, suggests a new report.
McKinsey & Co. surveyed 1,300 employers earlier this year
and found that 30 percent would "definitely or probably" stop
offering employer coverage after 2014, according to the
Wall Street Journal.
That proportion increased to more than 50 percent among
employers with a high awareness of the Obama administration's
health overhaul.
Under the plan, Americans will have new insurance options
outside the workplace, and carriers will no longer be permitted to
deny people coverage because they have been sick. The survey found
that these factors reduced the moral obligation employers may feel
to provide coverage for their workers, the
Wall Street Journal reported.
Appeals Court Hears Health Law Case
A challenge to the Obama administration's health care law is
scheduled to be heard Wednesday in a federal appeals court in
Similar challenges about the constitutionality of the Affordable
Care Act have been heard by appeals courts in Ohio and Virginia,
but this latest hearing is attracting increased attention because
of the number of states involved in the challenge (26) and because
it involves a lower court ruling that invalidated the entire law,
ABC News reported.
In January, Judge Roger Vinson of the U.S. District Court for
the Northern District of Florida ruled that Congress exceeded its
authority when it passed the law's mandate requiring nearly all
Americans to buy health insurance by 2014 or face a tax
Without that mandate, the rest of the law could not stand,
Vinson concluded. His ruling is on hold pending the outcome of the
ABC News reported.
No appellate court has ruled on the health care law, but three
lower court judges have upheld the law and two others have ruled
against it.

The only information on this theater is that it was located in an eight-story building at East 15th Street and Troost Avenue. It is presumed it was demolished for freeway construction.
