It was one of the highlights of my day.
You know what I've noticed?
We don't break tumblr.
Not for lack of trying, I'm sure, but tumblr is always up and running during and immediately after the newest episode ends. Now, other fandoms break tumblr like it's their day/evening job. I swear, Glee breaks it every damn week, and last week it was The Vampire Diaries keeping it down for a while.
So, why not us?
We all know that the next episode is going to be a good one, if the sneak peeks are any indication, and it's bound to give us a lot of talking/blogging/GIFing moments, so let's have our fandom break tumblr for a change.
Shall we?
It fucking snowed today. I know I live in northern Alberta, but I do not want snow now. Someone make it go away.
- cry
- laugh
- pound various body parts against various inanimate objects out of frustration
- repeat ad nauseum
I don't know why, but having a Dalek as my dashboard link makes me very happy
Even though I'm Canadian and am currently living in the middle-of-nowhere, Alberta, something tells me that I'll have students wondering/asking about the significance of tomorrow while at school. Hard to believe that they were all elementary students/toddlers when 9/11 happened, and I was in high school.
It has come to my attention that I have gained new followers….
Welcome to my blog, where my feels for various shows/books spill over!

I recently changed the orientation of my family room to add more viewing distance to our 50-inch Hitachi plasma, to go with giving more depth to the room itself—the change makes the room appear about twice the size.
In doing so, I also moved the electronics farther away from the TV, though. I knew it would be a potential problem with cable runs, and indeed I had to switch my connection to our cable box from component video to HDMI (I have an HD DVD player hooked up with HDMI, and that didn't change).
After a little over a week of viewing now (the plasma has resolution of 1280 x 1080), for the most part the images are about on par judging the high-definition cable content via component versus HDMI. However, on the network broadcasts I've noticed that facial features can be a little smeary at times, with not as much fine detail using the HDMI as there was with component cable.
I made sure that all of my settings—sharpness, brightness, contrast, noise reduction and so forth—are the same now as they were when the TV was hooked up via component (FYI the cable is provided through Charter Communications). Also, for disclosure the HDMI is a RadioShack version, and the component is Monster, not that I believe it matters much (actually, I just bought a 10-foot no-name HDMI run from Monoprice and it works just as well).
Thanks to the greater viewing distance, overall I'd say other noise artifacts have been diminished and my HD images are improved, but this inconsistent smeariness or shininess has been irking. Seems to occur more with recorded broadcasts on TNT, NBC and Fox than live sports broadcasts.
Take the poll below and let me know if there's any reason for your preference. I also have a few other questions:

There's no two ways about it: Jennifer Lopez is in great shape. Whether you've seen her rocking a new look on the red carpet or being featured on the cover of a magazine, she always manages to maintain a fabulously fit figure. But what's her secret?
Hollywood.com exclusively chatted with the superstar's personal trainer, Tracy Anderson, and got a better look inside her vigorous workout regime. The key is dedication -- something JLo has never struggled with. Anderson shared that even despite the American Idol judge's hectic schedule, ""She always gets her workout in when she can and has been very consistent.""
Additionally, Anderson (who has also worked with the likes of Gwyneth Paltrow and Nicole Richie) revealed how Lopez managed to bounce back into shape after having her twins, Max and Emme. According to Anderson, ""[Lopez] tried a lot of things but like Gwyneth she is a smart woman with not a lot of time to mess around...I design her training to let her shine. Her talent and work ethic amaze me!"" And the results speak for themselves; J.Lo's never looked better.
Anderson's technique consists of an assortment of cardio dance routines that target the body's smaller muscle groups. Her main emphasis is repetition, repetition, repetition. So as long as her clients are willing to put in the work, they'll see results -- and Lopez clearly has.
We can expect to see this diva's flawless figure for many years to come.

First up was the American Wind Energy Association, which brought approximately 3,500 people to Austin for its national conference in May, making it the largest wind energy conference in U.S. history.

I purchased a CG-4 several years ago, but have only used it a few times. I'm expecting a Sky Watcher 100ED OTA from Astronomics to arrive Tuesday, so I think it'll be getting a little more use. I noticed that the piece on the Dec. shaft where the dovetail bar attaches is just a "tiny" bit loose. This part is apparently attached to the lower section of the declination shaft by a bolt, which itself does not move. Has anyone else run across this problem with their CG-4?

Looks like the blue states don't want to pay their fair share. Their argument is that they already pay more in federal taxes than they receive back. Not much different than the rich getting less than the poor in terms of government outlays.
If the state and local tax deductions are eliminated, then it would only be fair if all states receive only that which they contribute and not a penny more. Red states love talking about NY and CA, but receive more than their fair share of funds from the federal government than they contribute in taxes.
Well now, how do you "Greater Good Folks" like "Pay Your Fair Share" when it is applied to YOU?
Dave Camp suggest you look into AMT and how state income taxes from NJ NY CA CT etc have a huge effect on AMT
The WSJ did a great story on this not long ago. Hence, if fairness is what Dems really seek, then despite having to personally pay more for it, let's take it away and watch how quickly it exposes they only want to punish the successful among us to buy votes from those they intend to redistribute those monies too.
It would also be great in sending even more people fleeing from states like California due to their high taxes to those with lower rates….guess Bill Maher will now lead the way given his sudden revelation that he and other top earners are already paying more than their fair share.
There is no more dishonest statistic out there than the left-wing's data on "how much each state pays and receives to/from the federal government." This is what the poster at 4:37 PM is citing.
This foolish statistic assumes that money doesn't cross state lines – a laughable assumption.
When an oil company based in New Jersey drills in Alaska, the federal oil subsidies are credited to Alaska, but all of the company's taxes are credited to New Jersey. Thus blue state New Jersey seems to be paying more than it gets, while red state Alaska seems to be getting more than it pays.
Does the oil company benefit only Alaska and cost only New Jersey? Of course not!
National parks, ag subsidies, military bases – much of what the federal government spends does not solely benefit the state receiving it. Similarly, many entities pay taxes out of different states, and in different ways.
The very existence of businesses that cross state lines invalidates the Left's favorite statistic.
Camp is right. Others on the Right have said this before.
If two people live in two states – South Dakota and New York, for example – and both have the same base federal tax liability, the one in New York will pay less federal tax because he deducts his sizeable state tax, while the South Dakotan deducts no state tax.
Thus South Dakotans pay more to the federal government than equivalent New Yorkers.
So it is all right with the House Reps if we raise revenue by closing this loophole? Hooray! Maybe they'll notice that Obama has already said he's willing to go for "chain CPI" as a way to cut entitlements, and we can get past the gridlock and start negotiating. Way to go, Rep. Camp!
I thought this is what AMT was for. Although the complaints from the libs oozzes irony.
It begs the whole "fairness" logic of the Left why any State or Local taxes should be subsidized by the Federal government.
This deduction should be near the top of the list of deductions to kill. If any State wants to tax their own citizens to death, citizens in the other states should not have to help them do it.
while the tax expenditure for state and local taxes raises a good philosophical question, as do tax expenditures generally, taken alone this one is a dealbreaker that makes any sort of bipartisan cooperation very difficult in that it benefits red states at the expense of blue ones. chairman camp is absolutely correct in saying that the code picks winners and losers, favoring homebuyers over renters, investment income over labor income , those who work for employers that provide health insurance and those who give money to charity instead of their kids. you can make a case for wiping them all out and it will be interesting to see if he tries. but singling out one like state and local taxes makes the battle much more difficult and partisan.
Dave Camp is a very bright and thoughtful Member of Congress, and he was not thinking about eliminating the state income tax deduction all on its own, but rather within the context of complete reform of the federal income tax, which, truth be told, is a hot mess. One of the blessings and curses of getting on in years is that I have seen just about everything before. In this case, I clearly remember the 1986 Reagan tax cuts. Rates came down, but Democrats insisted on eliminating certain tax deductions. Reagan went along with this, but when Clinton got his tax increases the deductions were not restored. Now the Democrats want to do the same thing and take away deductions at least for higher income taxpayers now that they have raised marginal rates. It is my hope that the Republicans will resist this unless the tax code is reformed entirely, and the method used to tax income is put on a rational footing.
As a resident of MD and a CPA (and Repub), I would not like this because my Federal taxes would increase but Rep. Camp's point is with merit.
I live and work in NY but agree cutting back on the deductibility of expenses such as state and local taxes, mortgage interest, charitable contributions is the ONLY way to bring down tax rates and more importantly, simplify the tax code, perhaps even allowing many of us to file without having to hire expensive accountants to prepare our returns. Of course everyone should realize that these deductions have, for the most part, already been taken away from high income earners through either the AMT or more recently, re-introduction of the Pease limitation earlier this year whereby up to 80% of all itemized deductions and personal exemptions are phased out beginning levels as low as $250,000 — ie. folks living in NY, NJ, CT and California.
Dead issue made by a lonnie toon neocon. I thought they were against raising taxes. Oh, it's ok if you're a republican. Like the repubican party, going nowhere and to (h))ell in a hurry.
Why doesn't Michigan simply raise its state income tax rates so that we, the taxpayers, never have to bail out their automobile industry again. I also suspect that we, the taxpayers, will be on the hook for having to bail out Detroit and the other troubled cities in Michigan because they don't have a sufficient tax base. California tax rates are high because we have a fiscal hole here that Governor Brown is attempting to rectify. Camp ought to get his governor to do the same. People in glass houses should not throw stones.
Dead issue insider9909? The more Obama whines for more taxes, the more some feel he should get just that via this to him as the numbers for just CA and NY alone are in the tens of billions annually.
Monies that could easily restore White House tours, food tasters for even his Aunt and Uncle and so much more. And, it's a tax the GOP could likely live with as it fair across the board and exactly the type of fairness that will wake up more than just Bill Maher.
Jim Jaffe's comment is right on target. Most tax expenditures should be eliminated. Why shouldn't there be equal protection under our tax laws? Why should a person earning $100,000 in New York or California pay less in federal taxes than someone with the same income in Michigan or Texas? Why should a renter pay more than a homeowner, and why should a person who earns income through a salary pay more than someone making the same amount from capital gains? Why should someone who buys a Chevy Volt get to reduce his tax bill by $7,500? We need to go after all of them at once and sell the program based on fairness to have a shot at meaningful reform. We also need to lower rates and reduce government spending.
Why not take an Occam s Razor approach instead and eliminate all the partisan arguing about who's ox gets gored. Instead of the complex approach of trying to evaluate the merits of individual deductions (nobody will ever agree) why not just let everyone file their taxes as they do now, with "exemptions and deductions" listed and let Congress pass a law that caps the amount of these deductions at a specific percentage.
This percentage would be agreed on by Congress and enacted into law. The percentages could be skewed for different income levels to include progressivity, neutrality, or whatever is felt to be "fair". This approach is certainly not perfect, but should be much easier for Congress to come to grips with than trying to reform the itemization on an item by item basis.
Anybody know a Congressman?
A tax deduction is never as good as no tax at all. If you deduct $100 in sales taxes, and you're in the 25% tax bracket, you save only $25. A lot of people seem to be under the mistaken impression that you save the full $100.
There should be a distinction between those deductions (or tax expenditures) that are subsidies to the taxpayer (home mortgage, medical insurance and costs, EITC, certain chilcare credits) and those that reflect the siphoning off (voluntary or involuntary) of gross income. The taxpayer never had the benefit of the income if the state took it (or arguably if he diverted it to a charitable cause) but he did get the benefit of lower net home mortgage costs or lower net medical insurance costs.
Rep. Charles Rangel can speak to this issue when he's no longer a tax cheat; in other words, never.
Rangel can speak to this issue when he's no longer considered a tax cheat; in other words, never.
"To lower the top individual and corporate tax rates to 25%, as he has long desired, Mr. Camp would have to identify other sources of revenue to avoid adding to the deficit."
The author is another static analysis numbskull.
As a Californian — I believe that the loss of the state tax deduction for middle and upper income tax payers would quickly lead to real spending reform in Sacramento –
As long as the deduction exists, the state tax is subsumed into the federal rate, in 90% of cases. Once the deduction is gone, the state tax becomes real cash plus additional taxes withheld for spouse —
The proposed change is will bring the argument back to its essential core –

East to install; just slips into the drain. No need to remove the old splash guard or disassemble the disposal. However, I was hoping for a direct replacement for the OEM splash guard. This is not it. It's an easy workaround though. The tabs aren't as stiff as I would like. I'm concerned that a heavy knife could slip into the drain.

On May 13, Justice Kornreich of the Supreme Court of the State of New York denied DB Structured Products, Inc.'s (DBSP) motion to dismiss an RMBS putback action brought against it by the trustee for the relevant RMBS trust. The plaintiff alleged that DBSP breached representations and warranties concerning the mortgage loans backing the trust and then failed to fulfill its contractual obligation to repurchase those loans. Justice Kornreich held that plaintiff's claims were timely because each alleged failure by DBSP to comply with its recurring repurchase obligation constituted an independent contractual breach that re-started the statute of limitations.

[video] Quick Take: Washington Flattens Stocks
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Now that the markets have digested the Federal Reserve's tapering decision, it can focus on something else: The debt ceiling debate.
TheStreet's Debra Borchardt spoke to Peter Cardillo, chief market economist for Rockwell Global Capital, who said the market will probably pull back while the Congress continues to debate whether to raise the debt ceiling or balance the budget before the fiscal year begins Oct. 1.
With equities near all-time highs, the expected pullback isn't all that surprising, especially since this isn't the first time we've seen a debt ceiling circus, Cardillo said.
In the end, Cardillo said the government will pay its bills and raise the debt limit. This is nothing new. He added that about 10 years ago the government actually shut down for a day, but he doesn't think it'll go that far this time.One of the big discussions is over cutting the $40 billion food stamps program, something the Republicans want. Cardillo said the program will likely be trimmed, but not cut altogether. He concluded the Fed didn't want to taper its bond buying due to the fear of chaotic bond selling, which would drive up rates, as was evident in the summer. -- Written by Bret Kenwell in Petoskey, Mich.

"And I think that this bribery will do more to exacerbate the horrible attitudes of pug tanks and cause resentment amongst DPSers who now not only have to put up with the obnoxious behavior BUT assist in the tank getting an extra bag of goodies." (araquen)
This. ^
This is my prediction about Call To Arms in Random Dungeon Finder. At first:
a) more fail tanks
b) less respect to tanks (and some to healers) because "you're getting your damn satchel, quit your QQing!" and fail dps will be even less likely to follow tank's markings, strategy, etc.
c) because of the disrespect, better tanks will be even more reluctant to que in RDF
d) healers will now bear the brunt. more fail tanks = super-stress trying to keep everyone alive. and because of the likelihood that healers will be the main ones benefitting from CTA at this point, healers will be disrespected and boo-ed. "L2heal, you noob. you're getting that damn satchel!"
e) competent healers will avoid RDF
f) influx of bad off-spec healers because of CTA
g) now that both healers AND tanks are increasingly likely be fail in RDF, competent dps will avoid RDF
h) RDF will be cement their reputation as destined-to-fail, and almost everyone will get their badges through guild runs and trade chat pugs (with or without WTB roles)
at this point, if blizzard decides they want RDF to be more than a barely-existent part of the game, either blizzard will try to force people to do RDF (resulting in bitterness), or will finally realize that realm-option/only RDF and/or attitude/behavior repercussions are the only way to save RDF.

In the post-Snowden era of Internet privacy, Parsons and others are continuing the often difficult and unpopular work of pulling back the veil of government surveillance. Students across the country, continent, and indeed, the world, are aware of the new status quo, but may not have considered the full privacy implications of increased access to information online. It is, unfortunately, easy to ignore the droning of television anchors or the frequently updated headlines of news sources as they appear on Facebook and Twitter, especially when the medium lends itself to distraction. The irony, of course, is that as these stories appear, they are swiftly buried under an infinite stream of online information.
From the editorial board at The Varsity, U of T's student newspaper.
U of T post-doctoral fellow writes letter asking for detailed answers on consumer data sharing
Another article, this time in the UoT student newspaper, about the letters we sent to Canadian ISPs.
Case # 34644 Matthew David Spencer v. Her Majesty the Queen (December 9, 2013) At issue is Whether section 8 of the Charter of Rights and Freedoms was violated. The appellant downloaded child pornography from the internet using a peer-to-peer file-sharing software program. The appellant stored child pornography in a shared folder and did not override the default settings that made the folder accessible to others. Since the files were accessible to other users they could therefore be downloaded. A police officer searched the shared folder and discovered the pornographic files. The officer couldn't identify the owner of the folder but was able to determine that the IP address being used was assigned by Shaw Communications. The police wrote to Shaw and requested information identifying the assignee at the relevant time. Shaw Communications identified the user as the appellant's sister. The police obtained a warrant and searched her residence, where they seized the appellant's computer. The appellant was charged with possession of child pornography and making child pornography available.
An interesting case, especially when read against the scholarship that examines the Charter and PIPEDA implications of disclosing subscriber data absent a court order.

In a fit of rage I
forgot why
I love you
Now I'm trying to get it back,
the feeling
I say the words but I don't
And you are unaware that we are lost

The morn does hold that golden hue
If only for the early few
So silent is that faden glimpse
Of all that is and can never stay

Your radiance blinded all my rage and I loved you once more.
Or the sunlight reflected off your face and the squint skewed my judgement.
Either way I feel we can move on.

As silently as my own thoughts I ponder this life
It's very existence, it's direction, it's purpose
And wonder, why go on without knowing what for?
Will I find an answer only in death, or will I somehow stumble upon it when I stop looking?
Like finding the frontdoor keys or the remote for the TV.
Unlocking the reason for living or changing the channel to a different life.

Idly I wake, sleepless again.
Existing, slipping, I clamber for breath.
Some threat of happiness
Softly I speak to the dead of night.
Give me joy,
The answer is clear in the darkness,
Dream on.

Rated 2 out of 5 by DocDoug Save your points An extraordinarily mediocre room in an aging facility with an unresponsive, indifferent staff for 10,000 points per night with no upgrade. July 19, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Nightrunner007 Just like home Each time I stay at the Sheraton Oceanfront, I'm greeted with best of smiles and attention to detail. The food is always on time and excellent. Only thing I can compare my nights here would be to say I at HOME. Thank you for your hospitality and great service. January 21, 2014

Rated 5 out of 5 by snowball2 great hotel the hotel had been renovated recently, it was clean and all of the staff was superb, friendly and helpful July 19, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by drjpccm Almost a Perfect Stay! Had a wonderful week, with only 1 complaint, and even that is minor: we were in a 2-bed room, and the spaces under the beds were absolutely filthy. Once in a while, the beds should be moved and the carpet vacuumed. Betcha that bottle cap (beer bottle?) is still under our bed! July 30, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by ALMA2014 short but sweet! I just stopped in for a short visit. The staff went above and beyond to make sure I enjoyed my stay. It was a excellent time, great food and great service! Thank you all for your hospitality! February 6, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by Jerzie123 Restaurant As the hotel was very nice, the bathrooms could be somewhat larger, but ok. The food I was very disappointed in. The selection was not good. Ordered a sandwich and it was not good very dry. Home made chips are to be served warm not cold and stale. Other restaurants had much better food. July 15, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by JoeJr One night stay for business Arrived very late and the staff was able to still provide a late supper at the restaurant that was very good. Comfortable beds were in the room for us. The staff was very friendly. Parking was just across the street and included. Excellent view of the ocean and beach. Hotel is right on the beach and right on Atlantic Ave. July 14, 2014

Rated 2 out of 5 by Mary46 location is great The reservation process was easy but I did not get what I made a reservation for. I asked for 2 rooms, one king bed and one with 2 queens. We got to the hotel later than expected . The chain of surprises started at that point. Firstly, we got 2 queen beds in each room, because they "over booked" the king rooms! (although it was not mentioned during checking in) After 10 hours trip we decided to go to sleep, the sheets were unwashed and dirty. I asked them to change the sheet and they just left a set of sheet in the room which I had to change it myself. I also asked to change my room to a king bed room. The help desk asked me when I am going to leave and when I said Wednesday, he said the first available room is going to be opened on "Wednesday". So, I spent 63,000 spg points and was not able to get what I was looking for. The next day when we decided to get breakfast, my husband's order was "lost", it means we were waiting for more than 45 minutes for 2 eggs to be ready and apparently they gave his order to someone else! Although I should say the location is great but I won't go there again. September 11, 2012
Rated 4 out of 5 by Rachel645 Great Boardwalk Location We stayed at this hotel over a busy Fourth of July weekend. Our stay was extremely relaxing despite the hotel being sold out. I thought the staff undersold our "pool view room" as the pool we looked at was parallel to the ocean in the "cabana" section of the hotel (it's only a few stories high). As a platinum member, I was given coupons for breakfast (you can either get the buffet or order off the menu). With the parking pass, there is a 10 or 15 percent off coupon for lunch or dinner for all guests. We found the valet to be extremely friendly; self-parking is somewhat limited, but valet is affordable. The hotel is located at almost the end of the boardwalk so despite the holiday weekend, we never had any problems getting prime spots on the beach. It is not in the middle of the action (by the outdoor theatres, slides, etc), but that was perfect for us. Our standard room had a medium sized bathroom, fridge, and microwave. Drinks and food by the pool were reasonable, not cheap, but not in the double digits either. The only problem we had were other guests saving chairs for people who were not yet poolside. December 29, 2011
Rated 5 out of 5 by TC1973 One Night Getaway This was a wonderful one night trip for my spouse and I. It was great that we could bring our two pugs and enjoy the trip with them as well. The hotel was very clean and I was very impressed with how courteous all of the staff were. Lee at the front desk took extra good care of my requests and was happy to assist me. The location was a very nice area on the beach which you can just walk on over to. We will definitely be back to this Sheraton on our next visit to Virginia Beach! July 4, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by ctar Hotel Convenient and Nice but Cust Service Needs improvement We enjoyed our 2nd year here using Starwood points. Love the convenient location and pool. Only issue was with service. We were supposed to get 20% off food at the hotel restaurant when using our starwood amex, but the discount was never given. I tried to get it fixed during checkout, but they couldn't do anything about it and said we should have told the waitress when the bill came. I think the wait staff should be better trained to look for the starwood amex and the front desk should have done something to reimburse us. Even a couple free drink tickets would have done the trick. Front desk needs to focus on better customer satisfaction. Also, the coffee pot in the room was terrible (we even asked for another to see if it would be better). Both leaked during brewing and burned my hand a couple times as I tried to clean up the mess! July 6, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Mike353 Great location and great staff Patty and I stayed with you last week as we traveled from NY area to Raleigh; we had an incredible room and appreciated the Platinum upgrade to the cabana suite!! THANK YOU! We were especially impressed with Bekah at the front desk...she was a gtreat first impression for your facility. Also noteworthy were Samantha and Kelly at the pool bar and resturant. They were both very professional and knowledgeable about the local area. We will definately come back again for a longer stay.

Rated 5 out of 5 by VaBchCA Love the staff- not too crazy about the bathroom We loved our recent stay at this hotel, and we particularly love the friendly and professional staff. Our room was just as described- clean, plenty of space, and a wonderful bed. The bathroom was also clean, although a little small. Our only complaint was the potentially dangerous tub that could become slippery without any non-skid protection. Thank goodness there was a safety bar. It also would have been nice to have an exhaust fan. Overall, a lovely place to stay. March 3, 2014

Rated 4 out of 5 by AmyJack17 Great time at Va Beach Sheraton We love staying in Va Beach and have a few hotel requirements - staying on the north end, outdoor pool facing the ocean, bar with food options at the outdoor pool, ocean front rooms and suites. The Sheraton has all those things and is really nice. We had a great stay there. As to be expected with an ocean front hotel, the food and drink are very expensive. However, for convenience, it is nice to not have to get in your car to drive anywhere for just about anything. July 4, 2014

Easy-to-follow video tutorials help you learn software, creative, and business skills.Become a member
One of the more common types of content that you're going to share on the Share Pod is a PowerPoint file. So what I want to do is take a look at the ins and outs of working with PowerPoint within the Share Pod. The first thing that I want to say about that is, that you should never plan to upload your file while your meeting is in progress. I am going to do that here because I want to talk about why you shouldn't do this. This is a very small presentation. It's only three slides. So it's a very small file size. And it still takes a few seconds to upload and convert.
You don't want to do that in front of your audience, especially if you have a 25 or 50 slide deck, because it may take 10 minutes to upload and it may take another 5 to 10 minutes to convert. Because what Connect actually does is, first off, it uploads the PowerPoint file, and then on the backend it actually converts it over to Flash, and that gives you the capability of working with it within Connect, because Connect is a Flash-based product. Once you have it uploaded though, it's on the system and it is something that you can access later on. So for example, if you should accidentally hide this pod, you can always select from the Pods menu, Share and Annual Report Presentation.ppt is the Share Pod that contained that presentation.
So you can just select it and it'll take just a few moments, but then it will bring it back much more quickly. The good news about this is that once it's on the system, it's there for you from then on in. Now I want to add a little bit of a polish to this. So instead of calling this pod, the Annual Report Presentation.ppt with the extension for PowerPoint, I am just going to double-click on this and rename it. And that makes it look like I've specifically renamed the pod for the purpose that the pod has, which is actually what I've done. It just gives your presentation a little bit more of a professional appeal.
Now once the PowerPoint file is in the Share Pod, you can begin working with it almost as if you were working with it in PowerPoint. So for example, if I want to move from one slide to the other, I'll just click down here in the lower-left on the Next and Previous Arrows. In fact, if I've built transitions into my PowerPoint, Connect does a pretty good job of maintaining them for my presentation. So it works pretty much the exact same way that it would in PowerPoint. I have my transitions. Present my information, and there's even another tool that I can use to go a step further.
Right here, right next to the Left and Right Arrows, I have a little sidebar. We'll click on that, and that allows me to see some information about my presentation as I am presenting. It's sort of like having two screens in PowerPoint where one gives you a hint about what's coming up, and tells you information about the slide that you're on. Well, right here in Connect, we have it inside the Share Pod. So as I'm presenting, I might want to look, for example, at the Notes for the slide, or I may want to jump back-and- forth in my presentation, and I can do that with the click of the mouse.
It will open up the Notes Pod and I can see that I'm supposed to mention the company's long climb from obscurity. As I move through the presentation, I've got my animations, and I can see the agenda or the rest of the agenda items that are coming up because they are built in to the notes for the PowerPoint slide. Now this was all information that was in the PowerPoint slide and I used PowerPoint to create it. All Connect is doing is reproducing that for you so that you can use it during the meeting. Now there is another thing that's pretty neat that you can do with this as well.
If I want my customers who are in the middle of the presentation to be looking at this information along with me, I can simply show the sidebar to participants. Now, anyone who's in the room in the same Share Pod that they're seeing the presentation will also see this sidebar information. So for example, if they look at the outline, they can actually see what the outline of the presentation is. If they click on Notes, they can read the notes to themselves and that might be handy so that they can read ahead or they can catch up with information that they may have missed or whatever. And then finally over here, I can actually select Search and let's say that I want to find a particular slide.
Well as I'm presenting I know that I want to say something about the website, and the only thing I can remember is that the website is likely to have www on it. And I'll click on that, and it will show me the slide that contains that. If there's more than one it will list them all. I can click on that and jump right to that slide as well. Now there's another hidden advantage to the fact that this is a web-based tool. We are on the web right now. If in the middle of the presentation, I see a website address that's built in the PowerPoint slide, it might be useful to be able to check that website out.
Well, if you've actually build a hyperlink into your PowerPoint slide, then that hyperlink is a hot link right here inside Connect. So I can just click on it, it will take me to the web, and take me to the Two Trees website. It's something that you want to consider whether you want to do or if you're going to do it in the middle of a presentation, because half of your audience is likely to go check out your website, while you're trying to present the rest of the information. But if used purposefully, it's actually a great tool to take the presentation beyond just the slides, and use something like the World Wide Web to augment the presentation and give your audience more information than the slides can convey.
Now I am going to go ahead and close up the sidebar, because it's not only the case that I can show you information. I'm going to backup to the beginning here, of the Agenda, and as I am working through the agenda, I might actually want to mark the slides up to put a checkmark next to things, or draw your attention to things, or whatever. As with the whiteboard, I can actually mark on top of these slides, while I'm presenting them. All I need to do is click on the Draw button here, and as a presenter or a host, I can take the Pencil tool and I can come in here and put a checkmark, or I can take the Highlighter tool, move to the next Agenda item, and I can put a mark on top of it.
If that's not wide enough, maybe I can increase the size of the marker and put a wider mark on top of it. So as you're working through the presentation, instead of just talking to the slides that you have, use Connect as a way to draw your audience's attention to certain aspects of the slides, because it makes the presentation, which is being delivered remotely, feel a lot more engaging. It draws your attention to the screen. It makes the information scene a little bit more exciting, so that instead of kind of tuning out after a few slides, the audience is going to start to look at the slides and see what you are presenting there, a little bit more carefully.
And that actually becomes a reason to use Connect, even if you're not necessarily in a remote meeting. Because all of the stuff that you're doing in the slide set right now, first off gives you an ability to mark up the slide set, makes it more engaging. You can add things like Hyperlinks so that your audience can take advantage of that, but I am going to go ahead and close this presentation, and then I'm going to reveal this presentation. And notice that when I do, it's going to jump me right back to that slide and it's going to leave my markups in place.
Now that's a good thing if I have a presentation that I am delivering over time but it's also the kind of thing that if you're going to deliver the same presentation, and you want a clean slate, make sure that you go in afterwards and delete your markups because if you don't do them, then they'll be there for you even if you don't want them the next time you go to present. So that's using PowerPoint with Connect. It's not just a way to show some slides and tell some information about some slides, but to allow you to engage your audience more deeply in those slides, so that you can get your point across more effectively.

Wonderful soup! I added a little cornstarch with cold water to thicken a little more. I also added peas and carrots. I served it with a cucumber salad, rolls, and the family loved it! By the way I think it is assinine to rate a recipe without trying it. What gives with that??
Chicken and Wild Rice Soup
pamsy10 Posted: 02/25/09
Melrw80 Posted: 02/20/10
It was absolutely delicious. It was creamy and full of flavor. I added mushrooms, and put in some mozzarella cheese. I would make this again and my husband agrees.
Kendalyn Posted: 11/08/08
This is a good recipe that's very easy and works well for leftovers. Great weeknight meal.
kygirl Posted: 02/03/09
Wonderful dish, now my husband's favorite. Making it tonight (2nd time in one week).
MplsErin Posted: 12/01/08
Made recipe as indicated. Brought to church for Thanksgiving eve service potluck and got rave reviews. Wish there had been leftovers. Will definately make again.
78jessica Posted: 12/19/10
I was disappointed by this soup. I found it rather bland. I only added 8 oz of Velveeta and thought it was too cheesy. I would try cream cheese instead if I were to make it again. I think matchstick carrots and mushrooms would be excellent additions if you do make this soup. I've tried other Chicken and Wild Rice soups that I've loved, this one was not one of them.
family Posted: 12/14/10
This soup was pretty good. I added some frozen spinach and diced carrots to add some color. Family really liked it!
Debbie17 Posted: 10/17/10
I thought that this was good, but not outstanding. There are better cheese soups on this site.
TrishAnne Posted: 03/03/09
Fast weeknight dinner - delicious. Used 3 chick breasts and added a handful of mixed green beans, peas and carrots just to get a little veggie in the soup and added extra chicken broth to stretch it out a little further. Used long grain and wild rice mix. Loved by the boys, ages 7, 8 and 10.
KShultz Posted: 11/24/08
I think I shocked my husband with this one!!
avivaleah Posted: 10/28/09
I am so pleased with how this soup turned out. It exceeded my expectations, especially considering some of the reviews. I used 4 cups of low sodium, nonfat chicken broth. I used 1% milk instead of 2%. I also added about 15-18 drops of hot sauce to reduce the small lingering taste of flour, which worked. Also, I used 3 chicken breasts shredded. I did NOT add the 1/4 tsp. salt listed. I pureed the mixture before adding milk. Definitely recommend this soup!
singforjoy Posted: 11/11/09
I wish there were a way to give 1/2 stars. This is a 4 1/2 star recipe. Very good. I will certainly make it again. It just didn't have a WOW factor like CL's African Chicken Peanut Soup. It needed some veg, so I added carrots and celery a little while after the potatoes, which made for some good color and crunch. I also heeded previous advice and added the flour early (with the broth) to give it time to cook.
Chris62 Posted: 12/21/08
Outstanding! My 16 year old son and his friends ate almost the whole pot. I did substitute the Velvetta with cheddar cheese. This will definately be a go to in our home.
dena9472 Posted: 12/20/10
Great recipe, and simple to make! I served with garlic bread. Can't wait to eat the leftovers for lunch! Will definitely make again.
Smudge Posted: 12/06/09
Excellent cold night dish. Not time consuming so was able to prepare between quarters on a college football Saturday. Used a 4.3 oz. box of Rice-a-Roni Long Grain and Wild Rice without the seasoning pack. Looking forward to the leftovers for lunch. Will definitely add to the winter meal repertoire.
ncars10 Posted: 11/03/10
This soup was a huge hit in my house! I used sweet potato instead of a regular potato. I also used light cream cheese instead of velveeta because that is just what I had on hand. Both changes were great alternatives! I get requests for this soup all the time now.
csaunders80 Posted: 05/22/10
We liked this soup for a go-to recipe for busy week nights. I would not serve this for a special occasion, however. It was a little bit lacking in flavour to me (not to my husband). It just seemed to be missing a little something. I used a brown rice/wild rice mix that was not quick-cooking. I just made it ahead of time.I also used Steam 'n mash potatoes and dumped them in frozen. I will definitely make this for week night dinners over and over again.
yankgirl13 Posted: 12/17/10
Made this last night and it was great. Made a few changes - used Uncle Ben's Long Grain and Wild Rice box, a whole rotisserie chicken and a little extra broth. Seasoned it with some pepper and seasoned salt. My boyfriend took one bit and said "You have to add this to the list!"
AshbeeDaven Posted: 09/20/10
I loved this, really delicious! Might try it out as potato and bacon soup next time!
dfmorgan Posted: 01/28/09
I wouldn't make this recipe as it is written. With 879mg of sodium there is nothing healthy or light about this recipe. The problem always comes down to using pre-packaged items; in this case quick cook wild rice. These food items always are loaded with sodium. Watch out for the ingredients in recipes that are labeled quick - you almost always give up good nutrition in making them.

Made this even after reading the good and the bad; it was awesome! Made enough for 4 more meals for empty nesters. Used thighs in place of breasts(xlent) and next time will serve up with pepper sauce for individual tastes. Perfect for Sunday football games...
mzfix2 Posted: 02/02/09
This was good but rather time consuming. It will be an occasional meal, not a regular.
NettersRx Posted: 03/15/09
Great recipe! I used store-bought roasted chicken to save time ...cut the breast up into bite-size pieces for the soup and used rest of the chicken for a quick lunch. The flavors are terrific, the texture is great, and the soup freezes very well. I made it a month ago and took out a conainer to defrost just now- still tastes amazing! I served this soup with whole grain cheese crackers for hot lunch. Beautiful presenation, tasty, and quick! I will try with peas, as others have suggested, next time I make this!

Made this chicken and wild rice soup recipe today. It was outstanding. Will definetly make again! I did make a few minor adjustments. I used 8 oz ww cream cheese and instead of 3 cups of 2 percent milk, I used 1 1/2 cups of skim milk and 1 1/2 cups of 2 percent evaporated milk. Make soup really creamy. Also added 1 tbsp of dried parsley.
Shonna77 Posted: 01/09/11
My family loved this soup and so did I. Followed the recipe exactly except added a little more broth and little more milk to make it go further for my family of five. Had plenty leftover for lunches this week and I'm glad I did because it is sooooo good!
wendikwilson Posted: 01/01/11
Loved this soup! I made it just as the recipe said. It didn't thicken for me the 1st time around, so I let it sit and then reheated it on the stovetop and it was perfect!
KatieStrahan Posted: 07/28/09
This receipe was amazing...I have to say that I did tweek a few things. To save time, I used a Rotisserie chicken which, in my opinion, it added more flavor to the soup. Also, I used 1 box (4 cups) of Swanson fat-free low sodium chicken broth. I'm glad I did this or else I think it would have been too thick for me. AMAZING!
Empac7 Posted: 02/24/11
I've been wanting to make this for a long time - so glad I finally got around to it. This was amazing. My fiance told me this was the best soup we've ever made - and I cook soup about once per week so that's a big compliment. Added more chicken than it called for, and also used skim milk which didn't seem to make a difference in the richness / creaminess. Also added a bunch of chopped mushrooms that were cooked with the onion and garlic. Mixed in Tapitio at the table = really good. The only bad thing is it took a while to prepair - I cooked the chicken and chopped all the ingredients in the morning before work - and am glad I did or it would've been an hour plus to get the meal on table. Well worth it though! Served with Italian bread to soak up all the goodness.
Suzanne960 Posted: 01/17/10
My family raved about this recipe! I'll be making it often!
AnneyZ Posted: 09/29/09
This has become a staple to serve when entertaining. It is delicious and easy to make! I get requests for the recipe all the time. I have changed the recipe only very slightly. Instead of potatoes, I use corn so that it more like a chicken and corn chowder. Also, once, when I did not have any wild rice in the house, I used regular rice and fresh tarragon instead. Yum!
CaliBama Mom Posted: 10/26/09
Everyone loved this soup! Great for a cold night. I actually used brown rice, so the color was kind of boring. Tasted good though... I also added frozen corn and peas.Since my four year old loves both, he finished off a whole bowl and even asked for more!! Will make again!
tarastepp Posted: 12/10/10
I just made this for dinner tonight and thought it was incredible! Great for a cold winter night. I will definitely make this again. The only thing I would do differently is maybe add more rice to make it a bit chunkier. Great soup recipe!
Drea213 Posted: 02/26/11
recipe was awesome and definitely worth making again. it had so much flavor. i altered the recipe slightly though. i used skim milk and instead of the suggested velveeta, i used a half block of light cream cheese and then added sauteed baby bellas that i had added thyme and sherry to. the sherry gave the soup an overall nice flavor and the mushrooms added a nice texture. i will definitely be using this recipe in the future!
Momporto Posted: 10/30/09
My family LOVED this soup. I thought it was very good the first night and excellent the next day as the cheese taste was more prominent. We have this with a warm slice of crusty bread & butter. I have made it 3 times within a very short span of time at their request. I used light Velveeta and skim milk to lower the calorie count even more. I could not find quick cooking wild rice so I just used long grain and wild rice. I have shared this recipe with several people.
incremona Posted: 01/10/11
I would make this recipe again. It is a great meal during a busy work week. I did not alter the instructions but I used an Uncle Ben's Wild Rice mix, regular canned broth and skim milk. I did not add salt to the recipe since my rice mix and broth contained sodium. My husband and I had the soup with beer and wine respectively. I would RECOMMEND following the recipe as written if you are sensitive to higher sodium foods. My version was very good but it had more sodium than I would have preferred but it was still very good. This would be great with a salad,crusty bread and wine:)
TorreyS Posted: 07/04/10
This was WONDERFUL! My husband said that it was his favorite soup that I've ever made, and I agree. Very creamy and filling. Heats up well the next day.
TinaLuke Posted: 12/28/10
delicious! went perfectly with an everything baguette. I added a flour/water roux because the soup wasn't thickening as the recipe said. make sure you have all ingredients pre-chopped before you start cooking.
TamiMc Posted: 12/10/10
I wanted to try this out because of all the rave reviews, but found it lacking and a little bland. Maybe I did something wrong. I did substitute shredded cheese for the Velveeta. My daughter (8) said it perfectly, "It smells better than it tastes."
MandieMae Posted: 02/10/11
I think it would've tasted better with a different cheese. The velveeta just tastes so artificial.
ejhunt Posted: 12/09/10
This soup is so easy and delicious! My kids even love it! I've made it for friends who were sick, too, and they ate the whole batch!!! Absolute A+++ recipe!!!
stra23 Posted: 12/15/10
I made this soup acording to the recipe. I was disappointed with the taste - it didn't have much! I'll make this recipe again using sharp cheese instead of Velveeta - I think it may improve the taste if I use a different cheese. The texture came out great and it was easy to make. I'll also melt the cheese ahead of time and then add it to the mixture as it took too much time to melt the Velveeta. If the sharp cheese does not make a taste difference, then I will not make this recipe again.
Caseyfink Posted: 12/12/10
It was a wonderful, warm winter meal! I made it with deli rotisserie chicken as a shortcut ingredient.
wendy10024 Posted: 12/10/10
I love wild rice, and this soup, and a glass of a nice red wine is perfect for a cold December Friday night. I'll also sprinkle the delicious flax seed blend FitFlax (www.healthyscoops.com) on top of the soup. It's a healthy flax seed blend that adds a nice nutty taste and texture to food. It's low cal and low carb, loaded with fiber and Omega 3's and helps with weight loss. I found the code MB10 for 10% off on a health board.
desertdweller98 Posted: 12/10/10
We enjoyed this recipe with just one change. I used Mango Chutney becasue I couldn't find Cranberry Chutney in my Fry's store. I served the wild rce and Corn as sides.
xcatch Posted: 01/04/11
Enjoyed this a great deal and look forward to making it again with the variations noted in the reviews. One quick question - Has anyone tried freezing this soup? I'd love to make a double batch and freeze it.
MomBon1958 Posted: 02/16/11
Added mushroom, added corn instead of potatoes
spiceyapricot Posted: 04/26/11
This is SO GOOD! I was so hungry when I made it, I forgot to even add the cheese and it was still delicious. After reading about tasting flour, I put in a bit less than called for then let it boil a couple minutes and it turned on fine. I also threw in some mushrooms and peas at the end to get some veggies in. I can't wait for the leftovers!
Shgoodwin Posted: 09/24/11
Had left over grilled chicken so decided to try this soup. I added red peppers, carrots and peas because I had them all on hand, reduced the milk to 2 cups and the flour to 1/4 cup. Didn't have Velveeta so I used some grated sharp cheddar I had in the fridge. Great soup! Family also loved it - this one is a keeper :)
pminor Posted: 08/08/11
My kid's love this soup, this is all they want during the winter months
kacy0422 Posted: 09/10/11
We love this soup. I really think I like it better before you put in the cheese.
cathyhs Posted: 10/01/11
This is my husband's favorite soup! The recipe is great as-is but I usually tweak it a little - I typically include celery and carrots (I add at the same time as the onion and garlic), always use skim milk rather than 2%, and usually reduce the amount of Velveeta by about 1/3. This soup makes for an awesome meal on a cold night with crusty bread and a salad!
peggy587 Posted: 11/10/11
Just made this tonight, family loved it!! I followed others suggestions and added celery and carrots. Didn't know if it would have a "flour" taste, so I made a roux with a few tablespoons of butter, and the flour. Cooked it a couple of minutes, added the milk, then the cheese, then added all to the soup. I used part cheddar, part low fat Velveeta. Great recipe, will be making this soup all winter!
stormydogblue Posted: 11/08/11
The velveeta ruined this dish by infusing the entire thing with the taste of fake plastic cheese. Leave it out or use real cheese.
brightsmiles303 Posted: 11/13/11
This soup was awesome! I love creamier soups, but I try to stay away from them because they usually have a high fat content. Also, it is hard to cook for my boyfriend because he is used to growing up with fattening meals. So far this is the second recipe that I have gotten from you that he loves. This makes me feel better because I know he's eating healthy! Thanks so much, keep them coming! :)
CristaD Posted: 11/10/11
I thought this was very good. Hearty and excellent with crusty bread for a cool autumn evening. This will definitely go into regular rotation.
Megs95 Posted: 11/02/11
Loved this soup!! I made exactly as noted except I added baby spinach at the very end to add some color and it was fantastic. I also used Uncle Ben's Long Grain & Wild Rice quick cooking rice instead of plain wild rice since that could be made in 5 minutes. It ended up being a very filling & satisfying meal and we didn't need to serve anything else with it. Received rave reviews from my family and it has been added to our "favorites" list. Will definitely be making again.
AKHeyHey Posted: 11/09/11
Do not use Velveeta! VOMIT! How terrible.
JenniferM Posted: 11/10/11
Delish! I made a few modifications- sub skim milk for 2% and whole grain flour for white. I also cooked the wild rice in beef better-than-boullion and crumbled, dried mixed mushrooms. Also used half leeks and half onions since I did not have enough onions. I will definitley make this again- it was very comforting and perfect for a cool night!
Chicagobsw Posted: 11/11/11
It was ok. The first night I cooked it, the soup was pretty bland. The flavor was much better the next day though but still felt like it was missing something. It was too sweet too. This probably had something to do with the Velveeta cheese. Probably won't make again.
Dalila Posted: 12/22/11
This soup was fantastic! My husband went back for seconds! I used velveeta and all 10 oz and it wasn't too rich for us at all. I will be making this soup for years to come. I can't believe something with such healthy ingrediets could taste this good!!
clampers Posted: 11/29/11
Delicious! I substituted a block of cream cheese (8 oz.) for the 10 oz. of Velveeta...this made it taste rich but didn't give you that "UGH" feeling when you eat something super rich. Even though it tastes like a full-fat, creamy soup, it feels light in your stomach. Also served this with a simple spinach salad...4 cups of spinach leaves, 1 T. lemon juice, 2 T. olive oil, hefty dashes of salt n pep.
livindreams Posted: 11/23/11
The taste is to die for and the low calories are hard to believe!!! My substitutions were than I just prepared the 2 chicken breasts in a grill pan until cooked and I used shredded low fat cheddar cheese. I actually look forward to lunch!!!
Pattyo28 Posted: 11/10/11
I used only 8oz of Velvetta so as not to overpower the soup, 3-1/2 C. of Chicken Broth- and corn starch instead of flour (gluten intolerant) Very hearty soup, loved the wild rice- bet it would be great with leftover turkey from Thanksgiving! I'm sharing this one!
epierce Posted: 04/09/12
Simple and quick soup recipe. Nice creamy texture. I have made this recipe twice and my husband and I have loved it both times! Warms up great for leftovers. Next time I make it, I am going to try adding some carrots and other veggies as suggested by other reviews.
keliza7911 Posted: 02/28/12
Sooo yummy! I used 1% milk and it was still very creamy.
mrsseals Posted: 03/10/12
My family is on a new diet for the new year. 30 pounds down and I have GOD, my fitness pal and cooking light to thank. This recipe is wonderful. I really think it is more calories than listed. I will cook this again if we get another cold snap. I had to cook potatoes and milk mixture longer to achieve desired softness and thickness. I love this magazine.
dawngolden Posted: 12/19/12
I have given this recipe away every time I've made it. I have removed the potatoes from this recipe as I see no need to have both potatoes and rice. I also use about half of the flour that is called for in the recipe. The starch in the rice helps to thicken the soup as well.
swerner01 Posted: 03/23/12
Have made this recipe several times......one of our favorites! Sometimes I add carrots or other veggies, but very good as recipe is written. Freezes well!
Smytheville Posted: 03/01/13
Good, not great. I agree with comments that it's a bit bland so may follow tips to add mushrooms and/or bacon. Would love to know where you can get quick cooking wild rice that looks like the rice used in the MyRecipes video on the website. That looked like all dark grains, which isn't what Uncle Ben's or Rice-A-Roni looks like.
LWUMOM Posted: 11/04/12
Love this recipe. I've made some modifications. No chicken. I use one package of Uncle Bens original wild rice with the flavor packet (no butter) and mexican velveeta...to give it a little kick. It's awesome. Freezes well, too.
dan1olson Posted: 12/19/12
This soup was quite good with a couple of modifications. We did not have Velveeta so I substituted sharp cheddar and a bit of gorgonzola. Just before serving I added a bunch of fresh baby spinach and allowed it to wilt prior to spooning into bowls. The spinach gave the soup some nice color and added a few nutrients. Side note: We haven't had Velveeta in the house for years, but my guess is that the soup would be delicious with it instead of cheddar.
SoonerSinger Posted: 04/26/12
Great and easy for a chilly day!
flmngocat Posted: 01/26/13
I really liked this soup! I used Rice-A-Roni without the seasoning packet, but after a taste, did put about 1/4 of the packet in and that helped with the flavor. My milk was 1%, and it was fine. I also tossed in some frozen peas for color. The recipe made way too much for me, so I took a chance and froze some in 2-cup containers (this was about 3 weeks ago). It freezes beautifully! I gave one of the frozen ones to a friend who called that night to rave about this soup and ask for the recipe. Definitely a keeper!
AngelaNC Posted: 12/19/12
This is a good and simple go to soup recipe. I used some left over chicken from the rotisserie chicken breast, which was easy and gave the soup extra flavor. I just couldn't bring myself to use Velveeta (as I don't even use it in mac n' cheese). So as a result, I just substituted cheddar cheese. The soup had a nice thickened texture. My teenage children gave the soup a thumbs up.
daneanp Posted: 02/07/13
I think this is pretty good. Next time I'll add some mushrooms and fresh herbs. The flavor seemed a bit bland but the texture and creaminess of the soup was quite good and it is very filling. My daughter will say it needs bacon but we can't have everything.
ktleyed Posted: 12/05/12
I loved this soup though I did have to add more salt and pepper for it was bland at first. Couldn't find low-fat Velveeta, so I used regular, it's not something I usually buy, but I thought the soup was creamy and delicious. I also used Rotisserie chicken and did not use a mix for the rice, I used Eden wild rice which was perfect. I froze a lot, looking forward to having it again!
MadMom Posted: 12/22/12
I've made this recipe 4 times. The first time was exactly as written and that is what I based my rating on. I then read the reviews and started experimenting. Then second time, I used 8oz 1/3 less fat cream cheese instead of Velveeta and fat free half and half instead of 2% milk. I used regular wild rice - the entire 4oz pack, and pre cooked it. I added 1 cup frozen peas and 1 cup small diced raw carrots. This was better. However, i didn't think the chicken really added anything to the recipe. The third time, I left out the chicken, increased the diced potato ( if you use a thin skinned yellow potato, you do not have to peel), to 3 cups, added 1.5 cups frozen peas, 1.5 cups diced raw carrots, a 4 cup carton of chicken broth and used 1/3 cup corn starch instead of flour, and 3 cups fat free half and half and the 8oz cream cheese. The fourth time I used 4 cups vegetable stock instead of chicken stock. In my opinion, unless you are a vegetarian, stick with the chicken stock.
Eggcellent Posted: 12/31/12
We liked this one....Everyone except , of course, Gilli.......
nancyms Posted: 02/07/13
Made this yesterday; easy hearty cold weather meal. Used regular wild rice previously cooked and frozen. Thought it was a bit bland and added Thyme and more S&P. First time I bought Velveeta in 30 years. Guest requested a take home portion.
lesleyln Posted: 11/27/12
wow. i went against my better judgments and used velveeta. i should have trusted my gut. the soup has such potential. IF i ever made it again, I would use something other than velveeta. the velveeta completely overpowered the entire soup. disgusting!
andreasmall Posted: 01/30/13
I had this soup the day I first met my husband's (then boyfriend) family in TN. I was extremely nervous and the winter was beginning, I was a mess! My mother-in-law smiled at me and offered me a cup of this soup. I sat down on the table facing the garden and had it. All I can remember thinking was that everything was going to be okay (As indeed! We got married 6 months later). This soup is comfort in a plate. My husband and I now live in Germany and I make this soup at least twice a month, specially now with the winter season. My personal add (mother-in-law style) is mushrooms and a different kind of mild cheese. It's a little bit of work, but absolutely worth it!
velveetaHater Posted: 10/18/12
goodrichrl Posted: 11/06/13
This soup is delicious! I used 2 cups of skim milk and 1 cup of 2% just to use up what I had at home. I also used 7oz bag of reduced fat sharp cheddar instead of Velveeta. These substitutions seemed to work out well.
sunnik Posted: 10/08/13
I didn't make this EXACTLY as called for, so maybe my review isn't solid, but my substitute was cream cheese for velveeta because it's what I had in my fridge. I made this for some friends who all really enjoyed it and have asked me to make it again! Pretty easy, hearty & delicious!
dianamg Posted: 07/23/14
Very tasty recipe as is! Next time I'm going to add a few veggies though.

This is a delicious recipe especially if you're tired of the same ol' boring hamburgers. The only change I made was to carmelize canned pineapple tidbits, instead of using fresh pineapple as this is what I had on hand. The grilled onion, sauce and pineapple make a very savory, flavorful combination. My husband loved this recipe and I will be making these burgers again!

Mannequins and Vandalism Alarm Las Vegas Motorists
Drivers in Las Vegas were alarmed Wednesday morning when they saw what appeared to be men in suits hanging from signs along Interstate 15. The bodies appeared to be hung from nooses tied to billboards. One of the billboards read, "Dying for Work," and the second said, "Hope You're Happy Wall St."
Jeremie Elliot, a trooper with the Nevada Highway Patrol, said they started getting calls from concerned motorists around 6:30 a.m. The vandalized billboards were about 5 miles apart, located at the I-15 and I-95 intersection, known to locals as the Spaghetti Bowl, Las Vegas' largest and busiest intersections.
The Highway Patrol and billboard owners worked together to rectify the alarming visual. Mannequins were removed quickly to prevent any potential accident from motorists who may have been distracted by the sight. Elliot said, "Once people see that, everybody's concerned about whether or not it's real and they lose focus on what they're doing. We did not have any accidents, luckily."
