Nice post. I hope your first traditional NE Thanksgiving Dinner is wonderful.
This year, after reading many purist posts from Chowhounds, I was inspired to simplify. Here's what I'm making:
(for nibbles)
Port cheese spread with crackers
Sweet & spicy pecans
Artichoke Cornbread Stuffing
Pepperidge Farm bag stuffing (if I don't include this one, a few people threaten to walk out)
Roasted Garlic Mashed Potatoes
Roasted Cauliflower (I throw together the cauli w/ evoo, mustard, breadcrumbs and a little good parm at the end)
Roasted Brussels Sprouts w/ Pistachio Nuts
Spinach Balls (from a chowhound's post)
Cheese straws
easy cranberry sauce (the recipe Nikki Rothman posted)
the turkey will be made by my grandmother, as always
Coconut Cream Pie
Pumpkin Pie (am trying the Libby's version this year instead of my usual, from Rose Beranbaum)
Have a Happy Thanksgiving!
Since it's just me and 2 friends, with no great fondness for turkey:
Roast chicken (Marcella Hazan's recipe)
Mixed greens with pomegranate, fennel, and ricotta salata
Maple mashed sweet potatoes
Roasted green beans and red onions with balsamic vinegar
Cornbread, sausage, cranberry stuffing
Ginger honey pumpkin pie, with whipped cream and a little cranberry compote
We are having a cooperative Thanksgiving at the home of good friends and our stated goal is to keep it very simple:
red pepper hummos and crackers for nibbles
roasted fresh kosher turkey & giblet gravy
roasted veggies (I have parsnips, beets, carrots, onions, mushrooms and broccoli: will figure out the combinations tomorrow)
baked sweet potatoes
cranberry sauce/relish
pumpkin pie (made with soy milk)
assorted sorbets
wine: Bartenura moscato d'asti & Baron Herzog cabernet sauvignon
Happy Thanksgiving all!
Baked Brie en croute with cranberry compote
Puff pastry pesto, and tapenade pinwheels
Blue cheese and caramelized shallot dip with chips and crudites
Warm Rosemary Cashews
Marinated Cocktail Shrimp in herbed oil
Apple, dried cranberry, and pecan salad with baby greens and maple dressing
Main Meal:
Mango-chutney glazed ham with honey mustard sauce
Deep Fried Turkey and Gravy
Grand Marnier, Apricot, and Chestnut Stuffing
Maple Squash Puree
Creamed Peas and Pearl Onions
Mashed potatoes with leeks and fresh thyme
Cranberry sauce with Marsala, cherries, and rosemary (from Funwithfood's recipe on this board)
Canned jellied cranberry sauce
Mom's bringing sweet potatoes, and a friend is bringing a Lebanese rice stuffing called Hashwey (yum)
Crescent rolls and cream cheese biscuits with pear butter
Brandied Pumpkin pie
Blueberry Pie with Vanilla Ice Cream
Pecan Pie Ginger Cheesecake
Pumpkin Ice Cream
Okay, now I have to go bake some pies!
Another one of these YUMMY posts reminded me... Mom is making her Mexican Style Cannied Yams! YUM!!! :)
Also, someone's Cranberry Compote got me thinking... One of my cranberry sauces would go WONDERFUL on top of a chocolate cake... Hmmm... :)
Sounds wonderful.
We go to my sister's for Thanksgiving. Our group will consist of a Zen Buddhist priest and 4 regular Buddhists, and 3 atheists. Can it get any better than that?
I love Thnksgv as I'm only in charge of the dessert and an hors d'oeuvre (what my father grossly called "horse ovaries" - we thought it hilarious at age 11).
She makes
Roasted turkey
stuffing with different mushrooms
red cabbage with caraway seeds and apples
sliced cukes and red onions marinated in sour cream
fresh cranberry and orange relish
apple tart
I make mixed olives marinated in toasted cumin and coriander seeds, red pepper flakes, garlic, orange peel, cilantro, basil (if I can find it) and feta and olive oil. Recipes on epi. Herb-Marinated Feta and Olives.
fresh cranberry chutney from SF Chron last Wed.
pumpkin marbled cheesecake.
I'm making this cheesecake for the first time and am a tad worried. I usually make the bourbon sour cream pumpkin cheesecake from Epicurious but wanted to try something new.
The recipe is also from Epicurious, but the oven temperature looks like a typo -- 550 for part of the time and then lower for the rest. Luckily I scrolled down to the review section and saw all the posts about how their cheesecakes were burned. There's a post that gives a more realistic temp. but it's still a bit unnerving. You'd think Epicurious would have corrected it by now.
I plan to give a toast to begin our dinner (8 people). One of my father's old faves. "There are 4 potatoes and 4 of us. Thank the lord there are no more of us.
Best, Oakjoan
There are just two of us, so I have to keep the number of courses small.
Haitian-style Roast Turkey (from the NY Times; I don't like plain turkey, so I figure that spicing it up will probably make me a happier camper this year)
Traditional Stuffing (bread, celery, sage, onions, butter, eggs -- I LOVE this stuff)
Cranberry Compote (a la Gelsons since I really like their version)
Root Vegetable Salad (celery root, fennel, carrots)
Pommes Puree (Joel Robuchon's supposed recipe)
Carrot Pudding (might save this for another meal)
Pumpkin Mousse Tartletts
Our menu...
My brother Bill's famous oyster stew
Roasted turkey stuffed with mushroom and bread stuffing, turkey is organic/free range, stuffing is husband's speciality
Gravy...I'm in charge of that
Mashed Yukon Golds
Bill's orange marmalade sweet potatoes
Cranberry sauce (not from a can )
Southern green beans (my specialty)
Parkerhouse rolls
Sauteed corn
Chocolate cream pie and pumpkin pie for dessert
Husband is in charge of wine. He came home with a case, so we are ready.
Ooh, I'll play!
Gravlax w/mustard dill sauce (brought by a guest)
Yogurt w/ pomegranite seeds, scallion & cilantro, endive spears & spiced pita for dipping
Salad w/ roasted cauliflower, radicchio, romaine, hazelnuts and parsley, dressed w/ a vinaigrette, then drizzled w/ pumpkin seed oil
Turkey (pre-salted, herbed) and gravy w/herbs and either sherry or calvados
Stuffing #1: oyster & leek, etc.
Stuffing #2: chestnut, bacon, leeks and sage, etc.
Green beans w/ chanterelles & shallots
Roasted onions w/balsamic glaze
Carrot & rutabaga puree
Mashed potatoes
Cranberry sauce w/ juniper, bay, shallots & sherry vinegar
A long walk, then:
Apple crumb pie
Pecan pie
Pumpkin pie
Maple tart (the only thing in the WHOLE menu that my 13 yr. will eat!) (He wants ribs.)
re: Noeldottir
ooh, gravlax is a nice touch, and the salad sounds delicious!
Mine is pretty traditional: Alton Brown's brined turkey recipe, chestnut-sage dressing (with a few pippan apples thrown in), mashed potatoes, baked yams, rolls, steamed green beans, apple pie, pumpkin pie (a la mode if desired). Oh, and giblet gravy. All home made except the rolls, but they were fresh baked today. Football muchies before hand: marinated asparagus spears, crackers, spinach dip, baby carrots, olives, that kind of thing. Our one non-traditional touch is my SIL's recipe for cranberry chutney. Tastes great with turkey, and even better with the turkey sandwiches the next day.
re: janet of reno
Oh, and my son's girlfriend (who is from Japan) is cooking something. Since she apparently only knows how to cook Japanese food, it ought to be an interesting addition to the mix. She does have a reputation as an excellent cook, so I'm looking forward to tasting whatever she makes....
re: janet of reno
We invited our friend from Japan to have dinner with us and my family, and just learned she is bringing sushi! Which will be a nice addition to our rather traditional dinner of:
Turkey breast with sausage and dried apricot stuffing (served with Riesling)
Mashed potatoes
Roasted green beans
Homemade rolls
Orange/Grand Marnier cranberry sauce (alongside the canned jellied kind)
Chocolate pecan pie
Apple crisp
I imagine there will be Manhattans sometime during the day as well. :)
Happy Thanksgiving, all!
Snacking first with various cheeses and crackers, pumpkin pickles (sweet tart, made them for the first time), nuts, olives.
Roast duck with palm fruit glaze (Brahea edulis fruit off my tree).
Cherry conserve with orange sauce.
Herb dressing with apples and dried apricots.
Garlic mashed potatoes.
Buttered peas and morels (dried soaked).
Savory creamed spinach (cream fraiche and mustard) in roasted pumpkin wedges.
And dessert - MIL's pumpkin pie, a toffee cake, ginger ice cream, pumpkin ice cream.
Wow- great menus. I lost my notepad and was just reconstructing my menu.
All served buffet style
Before nibbles: shrimp in a cilantro pesto; chicken & leek dumplings w/ citrus/soy dipping sauce
Main Meal:
Roast Turkey w/ herbal rub & tangerine/garlic/lemon inside
Smoked turkey w/ balsamic "bath"- heated off to the side on the Weber Q. Throwing in 2 star anise just to confuse everyone's noses
Roasted cauliflower w/ bacon fat, garlic & pepper
Cabbage slaw w/ cucumber, apple, and creamy ginger mustard dressing
Carrot salad w/ pineapple (brought by a guest)
Cornbread stuffing baked separately
Chap che (unsure of spelling)- Korean room temp clear yam noodles, w/beef/spinach/wood ears/cabbage/sesame oil purchased from market that makes huge quantities on site (at request of god-daughter who adores it)
Fresh warm bread w/ butter
Jasmine rice in rice cooker w/ crab "schmoo" (juice from boiled fresh crabs saved in freezer), ginger,saffron,dry mustard, bean sprouts, straw shrooms, coconut milk.
Pumpkin & sweet poatoe pies purchased
Chocolate chip cookies (a tradition at every holiday)
Coconut cranberry cookies
Sounds like a Bobby Flay mish-mash- but it keeps everybody very happy & they all take home their faves- picked up some storage containers on sale to assist in leftover take home.
This is the first Thanksgiving my husband has been home in 7 or 8 years. This is also the first Thanksgiving dinner I've cooked ON Thanksgivining since 1987. (I've had "Thanksgiving" in October and the Monday following Thanksgiving proper.) Needless to say, I'm pulling out all the stops for the two of us!

CAn't wait- have alredy made the creamed cauliflower and gotten the squash, green beans and carrots ready to cook. MAde the stuffing ( 8 loaves of bread) and am now going to enjoy a glass of wine and read this site for a while. Dinner is Chinese take out. Hope everyone has a great holiday.
I'll play. It's a shared effort, so I'm not positive about the outcome, but this is probably it.
Pomegranate juice with prosecco/sparkling water
Roasted spiced nuts
Marinated mushrooms
Savory pastry bites (my mother always makes these, with leftover pie dough, usually filled with a bit of cheese and herbs, chutney, etc.)

Cabernet cranberry sauce
Cranberry pomegranate sauce
Mashed yams with cider and ginger

Maple pecan pie
Here's our vegetarian menu:
Squashaladas, recipe courtesy of Snackish on this board a few weeks ago. I tested these out and my husband went crazy for them.
Mashed potatoes with olive oil and carmelized onions plus regular mashed potatoes.
Southwest cornbread dressing.
Traditional bread dressing.
Corn and quinoa chowder.
Apple pie - trying a new recipe from the current Bon Appetit.

Herbed Roast Turkey Breast with Pan Gravy
Fresh Cranberry Vanilla Orange Sauce (my own recipe)

Wow, I'm amazed at these menus I'm reading. You're all making me feel like a slug- and this after I spent the entire day prepping for tomorrow's buffet. I'm putting out some almond stuffed green olives and kalamata olives, and some hot pepper jelly on water crackers as starters. Making a kosher turkey stuffed with an orange and fresh herbs. Have my turkey stock ready to go for the gravy. Sides are a sweet potato casserole from Epicurious- it's got a sugar, butter, pecan topping, and has maple syrup, eggs, and vanilla extract in the pureed sweet potatoes; green beans with herb butter; Marcella Hazan's braised cabbage; a simple bread stuffing of onions/celery, sage and parsley, and walnuts; and cranberry sauce. Guests are bringing a mashed potato/noodle dish that is a tradition in their family. For dessert, my pumpkin pies and a guest's fabulous apple pie. Happy chowing everyone!
I hope you all have a blessed day!
Funwithfood's Thanksgiving Dinner 2005
Butternut Squash Bisque
Infused with Sage & Bacon with a drizzle of Cider Cream
Jewel Mold of Layered Berries, Cream Fraiche,
& Lemon-Mandarin Jello
Spiced Sweet Potato Biscuits
with orange-honey butter
Shallot & Bacon Roasted Brussels Sprouts
Elegant Yam Casserole
Gratin of Creamy Corn with Fresh Thyme
topped with Panko & Parmesan
Herbed Mashed Potatoes
& Rich Turkey Gravy with Sercial Madeira
Citrus-Herb Brined and Roasted Turkey
with Chestnut & Herb Stuffing
Cranberry Sauce with Cherries,
Marsala, and Fresh Rosemary
Cheesecake with Caramel & Fleur de Sel
Pumpkin Ice Cream Torte
We had a 13-lb. deep-fried turkey injected with melted butter, white Bordeaux, cayenne, white pepper, paprika, onion powder, salt and crushed dried thyme. There are never any leftovers from this bird.
The larger 20-lb. bird, rubbed with sage and thyme, salt and pepper was roasted on chunks of onion, celery and carrot, sprigs of fresh rosemary, thyme and sage and white wine. Stuffing was a traditional sausage stuffing made with both white bread and cornbread. I always add some chopped-up water chestnuts for a bit of crunchiness. Gravy, which is a take-off of Cook's Illustrated "Best Turkey Gravy", was delicious.
Paul Prudhomme's Cajun Oyster Dressing, which I always double, had to be tripled to accomodate 20 dinner guests.
Peas, sweet potato casserole from a family member, mashed potatoes, corn muffins from another family member, five kinds of olives and assorted pickles, and two artichoke appetizers - one from a friend and one from my daughter, and a lovely brie appetizer from another friend, mixed nuts tossed in with Japanese rice crackers, plus an orange set salad.
I had made my orange/cranberry relish three weeks before, and we also had a fresh-cooked cranberry sauce flavored with cinnamon stick and brandy.
I also made creamed onions with a twist: added reconstituted dried porcini mushrooms to the Bechamel, which everyone claimed was far better than the regular pearl onions in cream sauce.
For dessert we had two each pumpkin pies with Chantilly cream, pecan pies and apple, plus coffee, tea and assorted after-dinner liqueurs and brandy. Wines served with the meal were a choice of a nice Riesling, two different Merlots and a Cabernet Sauvignon.
No one went home hungry, and judging from the paltry amount of leftovers, they enjoyed the food.
cold smoked salmon with dill cream cheese and homemade sage bread (wife)
beef curry roti (son)
russian mushroom spread (guest)
cheeses smuggled in last week from Switzerland
Roast turkey (unbrined)and gravy
stuffing aforementioned sage bread, celery and onions
succotash (with corn that we put back last summer)
sweet potatoes
creamed spinach
mixed green salad with cranberries and dill (guest)
homemade pumpkin and apple (jonah gold and granny smith) pie, wife's chocolate hazelnut biscotti
Duvel Belgian Beer and Villa Marchese Pinot Grigio (89 Cote Rotie had no takers and alas remained unopened)
Hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving!

Newport, RI - An all-American quarterfinal saw Jack Sock upset top-seeded John Isner, while two-time runner-up Lleyton Hewitt safely secured a berth in the semifinals at the Hall of Fame Tennis Championships.
The seventh-seeded Sock straight-setted the two-time Newport champion Isner 6-4, 7-6 (7-4), with Sock recording the only break of the match in the opening set.
This marks the 21-year-old Sock's first win in four tries against the 6- foot-10 world No. 12 Isner.
Meanwhile, the third-seeded former world No. 1 Hewitt handled sixth-seeded two-time NCAA singles champion Steve Johnson, of the United States, 6-4, 6-4 on the grounds of the International Tennis Hall of Fame.
Hewitt lost to France's Nicolas Mahut in last year's Newport final and gave way to Isner in the 2012 title tilt.
The 33-year-old two-time Grand Slam champion Hewitt's opponent on Saturday will be the talented Sock. The two have never met on court.
Saturday's other semi will pit second-seeded Croat Ivo Karlovic against upstart Aussie Samuel Groth, who were a pair of quarterfinal winners here on Thursday.
The 2014 Newport titlist will earn $81,500.

Momlogic's Julie: When I heard the news of Jennifer Hudson's mom's death today, I felt sick to my stomach ... because I know exactly how it feels to not have a mom.
Jennifer Hudson's mom died today, and I'm sure it is the worst day of Jennifer's life. Jennifer is 27, the exact same age I was when my mom died. My life has never been the same.
Jennifer Hudson's mom will never see Jennifer walk down the aisle. That is a dream that every mother has for their daughter. It is heart-wrenching to think about how close her mother was to actually having that dream come true, since Jennifer just got engaged.
Jennifer Hudson's mom will never see Jennifer's kids. My mom never saw mine either. It's hard not to feel cheated when I hear my friends talk about how much their own moms love and dote on their babies. It kills me on the inside to know that my mom will never be able to kiss or hug my two beautiful children, because I can only imagine how much she would have loved them.
Jennifer Hudson's kids will never know their grandmother. I tell my kids about Grandma Freda but it's hard for them to really know how wonderful she was because they will never meet her. Pictures and stories can only convey so much, but they're all we've got.
Jennifer Hudson's mom will never see Jennifer as a mother. It saddens me so deeply to know that my mother never got to see me as a mother. She never got to see the woman that I grew up to be ... the person that she shaped and molded for 27 years.
Jennifer Hudson will never be able to call her mom again. That's what I miss most ... being able to pick up the phone and hear her voice. I never got to call her when my kids had a midnight fever to ask her advice. I never got to call her to share a funny story about preschool or kindergarten. I never got to call her to ask what I was like at three, at five, at seven.
Jennifer Hudson will never have a mother again. And no one will ever love you as deeply or be as proud of you as your mother is. I have an awesome husband, a great dad, a wonderful brother and two amazing kids, but tears are streaming down my cheeks right now as I write this ... nearly 10 years after her death ... because no one can ever replace your mother.
And that's an ache that never goes away.
See Also:
God bless Jennifer and her sister Julia. Life will never be the same without their mother! I am also living motherless. I just pray that God gives them peace. They will NEVER get over this, but I pray they find peace.
Good Day, Jamie Hernandez
I am truly Thankful for this article. I too understand clearly how it feels to lose a "MOTHER" I just recently lost mines 4mos ago. People like (Emily Tiden)who hasn't lost a MOTHER, can't and won't understand how painful this lost is because she still has her MOM!
My mother had a car accident in 03. She had a brian injury and almost died. Every night I would pray that God would make her herself again. But that never happened. My dad died in 04 then I lost my mom in 06. Know I hate myself for not just praising God for still having her. I am an only child and i don't think it is possible for a mother and daughter to be as closer than I was with mine. She was the greatest mom in the world. She was my best friend! I find myself getting angry when i see kids with there grandchildren, I cant help it. My oldest son was 4 when my dad died and my youngest turned one, one week after my dad died. They were awesome grandparents. And no stories and photos will never do justice! Please if you still have your mother cherish her every day. And tell her so, even if she already knows it. People always think things like this dont happen to them. Well I thought the same thing. My life was perfect one day and the next it was turned upside down. I miss my parents more everyday, it does not get easier!
wow Tears are streaming down my face as I read this .Jennifer my prayer and thoughts are with you .My Mom passed away 11 years ago, and to me it seems like yesterday we were sitting together. I truely feel that our love ones that have gone on, will be with us again one day.
Why would you talk about another person killing themselves? Especially about stuff like this!!! Are you perverted? Are you actually so insensitive?? What the hell is wrong with you? WTF???

August 14, 2002
Alto's Clarke Technology introduces a new look and new features to their US 1700 corded burnisher. The 19-inch flexible pad driver conforms to uneven floors and features a full harpoon face. Burnishing with the US 1700 results in noise levels lower than 70 decibels, according to Alto.
Safety enhancements include an interlock switch mechanism; a durable, hospital-grade power plug; and a flexible 50-foot power cable. The burnisher also offers circuit-breaker motor protection and a motor brush wear indicator.

About a week after From Garbage to Gourmet: the eBook was released, my cousin bought it and then posted this on my Facebook wall:
I am enjoying your book! Made the very berry pancake sauce stuff tonight to go over funnel cakes made from left over waffle batter. Strawberries and batter were soon to end up in the trash probably. Thanks for the inspiration!
Now if that isn't From Garbage to Gourmet genius, I don't know what is! I had to try it myself – in fact, I had some frying oil that I was hoping to use up soon – so I actually whipped up a small batch of pancake batter to test it out.
It was delicious – and it would be even more so with the Very Berry Pancake Sauce on page 20 of the book, like my cousin suggested. Here's how to make your own gourmet funnel cakes with leftover pancake or waffle batter.

Leftover Pancake Batter Funnel Cakes
You can use waffle batter in this recipe, too.
Leftover pancake or waffle batter
Vegetable oil, for frying
Powdered sugar, for dusting
Very Berry Pancake Sauce (page 20 of From Garbage to Gourmet), optional
If you like really crispy, small strings of funnel cake, squeeze the batter and move it around quickly. For larger pieces of funnel cake, squeeze the batter and move it around more slowly.
Don't have any leftover pancake or waffle batter?
If you don't have any leftover batter but just can't wait to make funnel cakes, here's a batch of batter that will make about two large funnel cakes.
1 cup flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons sugar
2 tablespoons butter
1 cup buttermilk
1 egg
1 teaspoon vanilla
Whisk the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and sugar together in a small bowl and set aside. Melt butter in a small saucepan, then whisk in milk and egg and remove from heat. Add vanilla; then gently fold into dry mixture. Use as directed above.

Augsburg, which finished with a 1-24 record last season, had begun the season 4-2 overall and 2-1 in the MIAC. However, the Oles jumped out to a 25-13 lead in the first half and held on the rest of the way for their first MIAC win. Augsburg narrowed the lead to 32-31 late in the second half until three straight buckets from Elyse Erickson '09 put the game away.
The Oles now sit in a tie for 9th place in the conference.
Erickson led the Oles with 14 points and four steals, though she was just 6-20 from the field. Point guard Jamie Erdahl '11 had a team-high seven assists to go with 10 points and seven reboounds.
Kristina Stoermer '08 helped the Oles to a 50-40 advantage in rebounds with 12 boards of her own. Her sister Danielle Stoermer '08 added six points and seven rebounds.
Defensively, the Oles turned in a stellar effort. They limited Augsburg to just 26.5 percent shooting on the game. In the decisive first half, they held the Auggies to only 13 points and five field goals on 21.7 percent shooting.
The win helped the Oles bounce back from a disappointing road loss earlier in the week and gave them their first conference win under new head coach Dave Stromme.
Monday night the Oles handed Concordia-Moorhead its first win of the season in less-than-spectacular fashion. In the game at Moorhead, Concordia easily won 76-52 to run their MIAC record to 1-2 and leave the Oles winless in conference games at 0-2.
St. Olaf held their last lead midway through the first half, but allowed a big Concordia run before halftime that extended the Cobber lead to 13 points at the break. The women never recovered their lead, allowing 41 points in the second half on 46.7 percent shooting.
"Concordia really broke through our defense," Kristina Stoermer said. "Our offense just wasn't really there either."
Stoermer scored 13 points in the game as one of two Oles in double figures. Erickson contributed a double-double with 18 points and 12 rebounds, though she fouled out late in the game. Erickson leads the team in scoring and rebounding. From beyond the arc, the Oles were just 4-20, a 20 percent three-point percentage.
A key post sub, Britta Hendrickson '09, suffered a concussion in last week's loss against Hamline. The team felt her absence deeply during the Concordia game, as six players scored seven or more points apiece to contribute to the Cobber offensive attack.
The Oles turned the ball over 18 times against Concordia, but forced only eight turnovers on defense. They were out-rebounded and out-shot by the Cobbers.
Erickson has led the team in scoring every game this season. She averages 16.5 points per game and 7.7 rebounds per game. Erdahl leads the team in assists with four per game. The Stoermer twins each average over six rebounds per game.
St. Thomas arrives at the Skoglund Gym Saturday for the Oles' last game until January. Tip-off is at 1 p.m. The Tommies are 3-2 overall and 2-1 in the MIAC after suffering a 74-68 loss to Macalester Wednesday night.

Aretha Franklin Continues Performing Despite Fracturing Toe On Spiked Heel Of Designer Shoe
The Queen of Soul is performing in a hospital boot after stumbling over a designer shoe and fracturing a toe on her left foot.
Spokeswoman Tracey Jordan told The Associated Press Tuesday that Aretha Franklin has not missed any gigs despite the misstep following a private performance in Dallas.
Franklin performed Thursday at the home of an "oil baron" and was packing at her hotel when the spiked heel of a Jimmy Choo shoe "wrapped" around her toe.
Jordan says Franklin awoke the next day and "it was still hurting and throbbing."
The Grammy-winning songstress stopped Friday at an Indianapolis hospital and received the bad news. She continued on to a scheduled performance in Greenwich, Conn., and is expected to sing Tuesday night at the Wolf Trap in Vienna, Va.

havn't used it yet looks good though
Product looks well made. Ammo feeds very good on my 1903A3 & Garand rifles. I can't wait to try this ammo out this weekend!
S&B .30-06 180grn FMJ ammunition is as good as they come. After shooting hundreds of S&B 8mm 196grn rounds through my old German and Turkish Mauser, I was pleased to find this .30-06 Springfield ammunition in a match grade weight of 180grn (versus the 168grn or 173grn .308/7.62 NATO ammo.) Happy shooting.

Corner Bar – JOHNNY HEISMAN
Monday, December 10th, 2012
We were at the corner watching johnny take the heisman. You were with a giant group of girls.. but you really stood out to me.
We were both sloshed, but I'm hoping you remember this. I think your name was Sarah… or Alyssa… you were studying psychology… and you had brown hair (or maybe it was blonde?!)
Anyway, you were beautiful. I was the tall guy with the cap and maroon fishing shirt by the railing.

This thesis is comprised of three essays concerning unemployment and social assistance. The first essay examines the impact of health status on the duration of unemployment spells and finds that individuals with impaired health will have significantly longer unemployment spells. These longer unemployment spells will result in the stock of the unemployed being composed of a larger proportion of individuals with impaired health than the stock of the employed. Hence, it may not be appropriate to interpret the difference between the mortality rates of the unemployed and employed as a health consequence of unemployment as some studies have done. The second essay examines the duration of welfare and off-welfare spells for lone mothers in Ontario from 1990 to 1994. We find that there is significant variation in the distribution of the spell lengths. Personal characteristics, such as the number and age of children, and policy parameters, such as welfare benefit levels, have significant impacts on the duration of spells. We also find evidence of negative duration dependence, that is, the probability of leaving the state decreases as the spell lengthens. However, for welfare spells, the evidence for negative duration dependence is weakest in our most preferred specification. The third essay examines the dramatic increase in the welfare participation rate in Ontario from 1983 to 1994. We are interested in what role benefit levels, minimum wage levels, the labour market conditions, and the UI system played in the rise. We focus on four family types; lone mothers, single males, single females, and couples with children. Our results indicate that there is significant difference in how the welfare participation rate of each family type changes in response to the four factors we are interested in exploring. Also, we are unable to explain the dramatic increase using these four factors which indicates that other factors were contributed to the increase.

Roman Studies
D.M. Shepherd
These at times somewhat mathematical studies are not intended as a complete survey of the style of Phaedrus' Fables, but represent, it is hoped, a useful contribution to our knowlege of the work of an otherwise rather obscure figure.
I. Phaedrus seems often to have used heterodyne ("iotus"-accent clash) affectively to convey agitation, surprise, speed, and the like, and homodyne to convey the opposite, though there is no good evidence of patterning like that Knight thought to have found in Aeneid. (The predominance of heterodyne in the mocktragic 4.7.6-16 is, however, probably due to factors of genre.)
II. (There is less variation in protagonists in the second part of book 1 than in the first--this is a field for further investigation.)
Verse-endings are repeated less and less in the later books in a fairly smooth progression which supports the present order.
III. Words occurring only once in Phaedrus' work are relatively rare in book 1 and in prologues and epilogues. Poems high in such "onco-words" tend not to be beast-fables and are on average longer, while poems low in these words, when not prologues or epilogues are beast-fables or jokes.
IV. Phaedrus' use of Grock words increases with time, but this may largely be due to a change in the type of poems. Possible particular occasions for using Greek words (apart from unavoidable instances, such as the names of certain animals) seem to be insincerity/deceit, riches, glorification, hyperbole, Greek settings, and possibly alliteration. Phaedrus introduced few new Greek words, if any, and the overall proportion of Greek words in his vocabulary is low in comparison with other poets.
V. Phaedrus uses "unpoetic" words to a fairly high degree, though less frequently in narrative than in direct speech and personal material. He also has some words characteristic of poetry and shows sensitivity to certain "rules" of poetic speech, and his vocabulary could not be confused with that of a prose-author. Not unexpectedly, he is closer in vocabulary to "low" poetry (such as satiro) than to "high" poetry (such as epic).
VI. Phaedrus seems to have been conscious of certain rhyming effects or homoeoteletuta, notably between the final words of successive verses (a type he cultivated in book 4 especially, but seems to have avoided in book 5).
VII. Alliteration is generally used sparingly by Phaedrus, who seems to have avoided extreme concentration of alliterative verses. It occurs with slightly greater frequency in narrative, and also appears to have been employed somewhat less in Phaedrus' middle work generally. There is some indication of preference for particular alliterative patterns (e.g. avoidance of the concentric pattern).
VIII. Only tentative observations are possible on the structure, if any, of the books. The numerical approach seems somewhat more promising than the thematic (book 5 in its present form is numerically balanced).
IX. About one eighth of Phaedrus' poems are exactly seven verses long, and this may have represented for him an ideal minimum length. Babrius, on the other hand, does not favour this length, but shows instead a strong preference for even numbers of verses. Avienus' poems do not vary greatly in length, but do not favour any exact figure.

If you're an avid coffee drinker, you may live by the motto: A cup a day keeps the fat away. After all, coffee contains caffeine – and caffeine has a long and trusted reputation as a mild stimulant weight-loss aid. As reported in a 2010 issue of the International Journal of Obesity, caffeine is a "tool for obesity management" as it has the potential to increase a person's base metabolic rate (the rate at which he or she expends energy at rest) by 4% or 5%.
However, caffeine isn't the only ingredient that contributes to coffee's metabolism-boosting effects. The actual green (or raw) coffee bean is a powerful fat-fighting agent in and of itself, containing high amounts of a key substance known as chlorogenic acid. Sound familiar? Chlorogenic acid has recently been highlighted on the Dr. Oz show based on studies supporting its role in boosting metabolism. In fact, several reports on both humans and animals have shown that green coffee bean extract (containing chlorogenic acid) holds great potential as an anti-obesity agent. Harnessing the power of this pure and natural bean, Labrada has introduced Green Coffee Bean Extract Fat-Loss Optimizer.
Guzzling extra java is certainly a way to temporarily boost energy – but this won't deliver the fat-loss results you could experience with Green Coffee Bean Extract. The key is in the green. Raw coffee beans are a major source of chlorogenic acid, but as soon as you put them through the roaster for commercial coffee preparation, you lose most of the "good stuff" – including the chlorogenic acid and other beneficial polyphenolic substances (not to mention the bean's natural green color).
Green Coffee Bean Extract from Labrada is a natural powder extracted from unroasted coffee beans to ensure maximum potency and effectiveness. Taking Green Coffee Bean Extract in supplement form is also an easy alternative for people who don't have the desire (or spare change) to drink multiple cups of coffee per day.
In contrast to caffeine – which is a stimulant that increases caloric expenditure and stimulates fat burning and weight loss – Green Coffee Bean Extract induces fat loss via non-stimulant mechanisms. These mechanisms are outlined in further detail in our excellent "Digging Deeper into the Science" section below by Monica Mollica, BSc and MSc.
1. Slowing the release of sugar into the bloodstream (especially after large meals)
2. Increasing the activity of your body's fat-burning enzymes
3. Reducing fat levels in the body
In a nutshell, Green Coffee Bean Extract is able to significantly lower fasting blood sugar levels and stop after-meal blood sugar surges in their tracks. This blood sugar regulation may contribute as a deterrent to long-term health problems. It also helps guard against extra body fat storage.
In a study analyzing the human consumption of 200 mg of green coffee bean extract per day, average weight loss results were 5.5 pounds (2.5 kg) in 12 weeks. Results were even more significant with higher daily doses; When up to 1,050 mg (350 mg three times daily) of the standardized green coffee bean extract were consumed, overweight individuals experienced a weight loss of nearly 18 pounds (8 kg) after 22 weeks. This higher dosage (complemented by diet and exercise), was well tolerated and did not cause any adverse side effects.
Green Coffee Bean Extract has been reported to have antioxidant properties, similar to those of green tea and grape seed extract. Antioxidants, by nature, provide support against oxidative stress by helping to reduce free radicals in the body. In this way, Green Coffee Bean Extract is far more than a fat-loss aid – it's a natural tool to help you feel your best and maintain overall health.
This article has just barely scratched the surface of what Green Coffee Bean Extract is capable of doing for people of all ages and body types.

In discussions about the health benefits of coffee drinking, the effects of coffee are often confused with those of caffeine. While it is true that many of the effects of coffee are caused by caffeine, coffee also has several interesting and beneficial non-caffeine related effects.
Coffee contains a myriad of biologically active substances, and recent research has identified chlorogenic acid as being one of them 1. Chlorogenic acid is present in highest amounts in the coffee bean and the seeds inside the coffee berry. Green (or raw) coffee is a major source of chlorogenic acid 2. Commercial preparation of coffee destroys a lot of the chlorogenic acid and other beneficial polyphenolic substances, but heavy coffee drinkers may still ingest from 0.5 to 1.0 g chlorogenic acid per day 3
Several studies in both humans and animals have showed that green coffee bean extract holds great potential as an anti-obesity agent.
A study investigating the effect of green coffee bean extract on fat accumulation and body weight in mice demonstrated weight loss with a reduced abdominal (visceral) and hepatic fat content 4. This effect was attributed to activation of fat metabolism in the liver 4. Another study in obese mice fed a high-fat diet found that chlorogenic acid not only significantly lowered body weight, visceral fat mass and insulin levels, but also reduced triglyceride levels and cholesterol levels 5. In addition, it was found that chlorogenic acid also elevated adiponectin levels in the blood (more on this below) 5.
In a study on hamsters fed a high-fat diet it was found that chlorogenic acid beneficially affected both glucose and fat metabolism, as indicated by a significant reduction in levels of fasting blood triglycerides, free fatty acids, total cholesterol, low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), glucose (FSG), and insulin 6. This study also found a reduction in live fat content6.
In humans, supplementation of 200 mg green coffee extract per day results in an average weight loss of (2.5 kg) in 12 weeks 7. Higher daily doses up to 1200 mg (400 mg three times daily) of the standardized green coffee bean extract (Svetol®) have induced a larger magnitude a weight loss of 8 kg in overweight individuals after 22 weeks, who also adhered to diet and exercise advice 7. The higher dose was well tolerated and did not cause any adverse effects 7.
In contrast to caffeine, which is a stimulant that increases caloric expenditure 11-14 and stimulates fat burning 13,15 and thereby weight loss 16, green coffee bean induces fat loss via non-stimulant mechanisms. First, green coffee bean slows down the absorption of glucose from the small intestine 17 and lowers after-meal blood glucose levels; the importance of this can be illustrated with the well documented effects seen with low glycemic index foods (enhanced fat burning, increased satiety and fat loss 18-21), which also slow down the absorption of glucose and lower blood glucose levels 22.
Second, green coffee bean inhibits carbohydrate digesting enzymes 23-26 and the actual absorption process itself 23,27. This means that less glucose gets taken up by the body, and thereby less calories.
Third, green coffee bean also shifts the site of glucose absorption to more distal parts of the intestine 17, which in turn enhances the secretion of the gut hormone GLP-1 (glucagon-like peptide 1). 28,29 This is an interesting effect in that GLP-1 currently is generating much scientific attention due to its involvement in satiety control, glucose homeostasis, and the cardiovascular system. The pharmaceutical industry is developing anti-diabetic drugs that act on GLP-1 to cause weight loss in overweight and obese patients 31, reduce blood pressure and improve endothelial function and vasodilatory effects 32. The GLP-1 weight loss effect has been attributed to a reduction in food intake and slowing of gastric emptying 33.
Fourth, chlorogenic acid in green coffee bean significantly inhibits fat synthesizing enzymes, while increasing the activity of fat burning enzymes 5.
Finally, as mentioned above, green coffee bean also increases blood levels of adiponectin 5,34, a hormone that is secreted from fat cells. Adiponectin enhances fat burning 35 and also
increases insulin sensitivity, lowers blood glucose (blood sugar) and reduces triglyceride levels 36-38.
Another major effect of green coffee bean is its ability to significantly lower fasting blood glucose levels 34, and especially dampen after-meal blood glucose surges 39,40. Why is this important and how many of us are affected?
35% of Americans aged 20 and older, and half of those aged 65 and older have pre-diabetes 41,42. The prevalence of undiagnosed diabetes is 27% 41. The high prevalence of pre-diabetes and undiagnosed diabetes is alarming since elevated fasting blood glucose levels even within the "normal" range greatly increase the risk for development of full-blown type 2 diabetes 43, stomach cancer 44, and heart attack 45. Fasting blood glucose values in the upper normal range are an important independent predictor of cardiovascular death even in non-diabetic apparently healthy people 46,47.
A mounting body of evidence shows that high after-meal blood glucose spikes inflict as much or even more damage than high fasting blood sugar 47-49. Among individuals with "normal" blood glucose readings, heart attack risk increases by 58% for a 21 mg/dl increase in after-meal blood sugar level 45, and 2 hour after-meal blood glucose levels are a strong determinant of atherosclerosis (diagnosed by IMT, intima-media-thickness) 50. It is well established that after-meal blood glucose spikes are an independent risk factor for heart attack and all-cause mortality 51. More specifically, people with the highest after-meal glucose levels, (range 150-194 mg/dL) have a 27% greater risk for cardiovascular disease compared with those with the lowest levels, (range 69-107 mg/dL 52.)
How effective is green coffee bean extract? In mice, green coffee bean extract was shown to dampen the elevation of blood glucose by 43% after a heavy meal 39. A notable study in humans tested different dosages of a standardized green coffee bean extract containing 50% chlorogenic acid 40. The subjects were given doses from 100 mg up to 400 mg and then ingested 100 g glucose (which is a standard method of testing of after-meal blood sugar elevations). It was found that after-meal blood glucose levels dropped by an increasingly greater amount as the dosage of the green coffee bean extract was raised 40. In the group of human subjects who took the 400 mg dose, there was a 24% drop in just 30 minutes after glucose ingestion, and a 32% drop after 2 hours 40. This means that if you had a dangerous after-meal glucose reading of 160 mg/dL, green coffee bean extract supplementation could slash it to 109 mg/dL, and thereby also markedly lower your health risk. It is not surprising that the anti-diabetic effect of coffee 53 has in large part been attributed to chlorogenic acid 54-56, and that it counteracts the negative effect of caffeine on glucose metabolism insulin sensitivity 57-62.
While the amount of carbohydrates that you eat, coupled with how well your pancreas is working, has a significant effect on your blood sugar levels, this isn't the whole picture. There is an enzyme in the liver called glucose-6-phosphatase (G6P), which is a big player in the blood glucose equation. G6P releases glucose from stored glycogen in the liver into the bloodstream, and also converts protein to glucose 63,64. Among physically inactive people and those who tend to store body fat around the waist, the activity of G6P is elevated 65-71, which can throw your blood glucose levels off the chart. Stress also greatly ramps up G6P 66,72, and can wreak havoc with your blood glucose regulation.
It is here that chlorogenic acid comes to rescue; apart from inhibiting and slowing down the absorption of glucose, chlorogenic acid also inhibits the activity of G6P 73,74, which will help keep your blood glucose levels on track.

Bottom line, this product works. Feeling better, losing fat, making better choices in the kitchen. Even my kids have complemented me on my energy levels and they said I look happier. So far 12 pounds down, another 10 to go.
5 stars! This stuff works. Been losing fat in the belly. My wife says I look like I have gotten bigger but I weight less. It's crazy! Going to buy a whole box of these! haha.
I saw this product on Dr. Oz and thought it would be worth a try. I bought a bottle and I am cooked. This product works well if you are wiling to do the work your suppose to.I dropped sodas out of my diet and started walking 30 minutes a night, I have lost a significant amount of weight around my mid section and butt. I have 2 of my g.f on this product. They are starting to see results too.
I have tried many fat loss products before, and I always had a hard time sleeping with the stimulants in them. This product has helped me lose 6 pounds so far and I am loving it. All the comments here are true, not to mention I am getting great sleep.
After taking this product only for a few weeks I am noticing a big difference in my cravings. I do not get the cravings in between meals I use to get which is a HUGE advantage for me. Always ended up at the vending machine and hated my choice immediately after. Highly recommend this product. Can't wait to see the results in a few months.
After buying 1 bottle to try it out, I went ahead and bought another 6. I actually saw results increasing my HIIT by 10 minutes a workout in 4 weeks time. I can't wait to see what happens in the next 4 months.
Labrada's wellness line is really impressing me and my friends. Research based natural products that really help with fat loss. FANTASTIC! The harder I work the better this product has helped me.
I haven't changed my diet or exercise and I am losing weight. Been taking it for 8 weeks to give it a fair chance to work. I think I am starting to plateau, however I am going to start adding in more exercise in my day. I will continue to buy, and share with friends and family.
I've tried every fat burner that is out there and none were as strong, yet subtle as the Green Coffee Bean extract. This is great because it doesn't give me any side effects or upset stomach. It works.
Great Fat loss and Anti-Oxidant Supplement. Green Coffee Extract is really a Hot selling Supplement right now. There are a lot of low quality products out there. I know with labrada if its on the Package its in the Bottle.
I have been taking Green Coffee Bean as part of the Fat Burning Stack with Raspberry Ketones and Ursolic Acid and have gotten noticeably leaner while adding a few pounds of lean muscle. There is no jittery feeling like you get with many other fat-burning products.
I never thought that coffee was suppose to be good for you, at least that's what was always said. I've been taking for 3 weeks and not any noticeable change yet. Im a believer though!!
I have recently gotten away from "performance" based training and back to my bodybuilding roots. With that, I have zoned my nutrition in to bring out more detail in my muscle. I have added a supplementation plan, as well, to help augment my training and diet. Green Coffee Bean Extract is one of my new found favorites. By itself it was good. But I have noticed then when stacked with Raspberry Ketones, it is REALLY GOOD! By itself I give it a solid 3 stars but when stacked I would definitely bounce it up to a 4 star product (I only give 5 stars to quality products that I consider a necessesity...proteins, vitamins, minerals, etc). I love my new stack of Green Tea Extract, Raspberry Ketones, and Ursolic Acid. And nobody beats Labrada quality.
I was a little hesitant about getting the jitters from taking a coffee extract since I also have a cup of coffee in the mornings, But read more about this and it is stimulant-Free...so I felt totally normal with this and I'm actually trimming down too! I still have a cheat meal once a week, but since taking this, I don't see the adverse effects like I used to! I love the peace of mind this gives me.
I read the studies on this, so decided to give it a try. I love Green Coffee Bean Extract! The results speak for themselves. Thanks!

Hydroxycitric acid, aka HCA, is a substance isolated from the exotic fruit Garcinia Cambogia. HCA is a safe, natural supplement for fat loss and weight management. HCA works by inhibiting the Key enzyme (called citrate lyase) that synthesizes fatty acids, cholesterol and triglycerides in the body. HCA also acts as an appetite suppressant and helps control cravings. Due to its ability to both prevent body fat from being made while suppressing appetite, HCA has been dubbed a "Dual Action Fat Buster".
Supplementation with 2800-3000 mg/day of HCA has been shown to result in the following beneficial effects after 8 weeks of use 1,2:
Labrada's Garcinia Cambogia capsules deliver the precise dose shown in numerous studies to elicit maximum benefits. In Every 2 capsules you will find 1,560 mg of the highest quality Garcinia powder.
We then isolate the active ingredient of the Garcinia powder (HCA) - by standardizing the powder to 60% . This isolation processes delivers 936 mg of pure HCA per two capsules. HCA is the active ingredient of Garcinia powder.
If you take Labrada's Garcinia Cambogia as directed, 2 capsules , three times a day. This equals 2808 mg of HCA. All the studies show this is the most effective dose for maximizing the benefits.
• Reduces body weight.
• Curbs appetite and food intake.
• Increases excretion of urinary fat metabolites (a biomarker of fat burning).
• Lowers after-meal insulin response (and thereby indirectly help the body burn fat throughout the day).
• Boosts fat burning during exercise and enhances glycogen synthesis in exercised muscle .
• Helps overcoming obesity-related complications, including exercise-related inflammation, oxidative stress, and insulin resistance .
The HCA-induced elevation in serotonin levels, also known as the "feel good hormone", is especially beneficial for those with carb/sugar cravings, and as an adjunct to low-carb diets 5-9.
Superior bioavailability of Lean Body Garcinia Cambogia /HCA Until recently, HCA products were in a form that was not well absorbed. Lean Body Garcinia Cambogia /HCA contains a novel calcium-potassium salt of HCA derived from Garcinia cambogia, called Super CitriMax (aka HCA-SX), which has superior bioavailability, especially when taken on an empty stomach 10.
No significant adverse effects have been reported with HCA supplementation 1,11. Super CitriMax is thus a safe, highly bio-available and effective way to stimulate fat loss and help with food craving control and weight management.
In contrast to stimulants like caffeine and ephedrine, which are often included in fat loss supplements, HCA doesn't cause any jitteriness or blood pressure elevations. It is thus also safe fat loss supplement to take for people with high blood pressure, and for those who dislike the jitteriness and tremor that stimulant-based supplements cause.,2027,$24.99,$9.74,$15.25,$0.00,345,graphics/00000001/store_garciniaCambogia_big.jpg,,Garcinia Cambogia,0,0,0,0,graphics/00000001/store_garcinia.jpg,0.3

As you all know I love to cook, so when Labrada and I started developing ideas for new products, I knew I wanted something that would be Made with Natural Ingredients (of Course), but would also be very versatile and have multiple uses.
Well, I think we nailed it! You are going to absolutely fall in love with this protein. First you can mix it into a delicious, tummy filling, Peanut Butter SHAKE that is packed with 20g of protein per serving. Or, you can mix a little water with a couple of tablespoons of powder and you get a smooth, creamy peanut butter SPREAD that you can put on a slice of toasted wheat bread. And, one of my favorite uses is to use as a TOPPING by taking just a teaspoon of powder and mixing it with my yogurt or oatmeal. Let me tell you, you'll be thanking me later!
As mentioned before it's Made with Natural Ingredients and contains 20 grams of protein per serving, derived from defatted peanuts. It only has 5g of sugar per shake and completely Vegetarian Friendly. Lean Body for Her Peanut protein is also Gluten & Lactose Free.
Peanut protein powder is a multi-purpose protein drink mix, made exclusively from peanuts. Unlike other peanut butter protein drinks on the market, which tend to be flavored whey or casein, this protein contains only peanuts, natural flavors and natural sweeteners, making it both lactose free and gluten free, as well as vegetarian friendly.
Peanut butter flavors are always top sellers in the protein bar and cookie market. As a shake, peanut butter tends to be a favorite as well. While we could have easily formulated a great tasting peanut butter flavored whey protein, our goal was to be the first to offer a peanut protein powder, made exclusively from peanuts and natural ingredients that tastes incredible, has multiple uses and could benefit most any consumer. With Jamie Eason's Peanut Protein Powder, we are excited to offer a product that can be used as a spread, a topping, or a shake and that will give you all of the protein you need with less of the fat.
While the peanut protein powder was originally formulated with a shake in mind and as a meal replacement, it proves to mix equally well in smaller portions as a spread or a topping and even works well for cooking and baking. With our great tasting 3-in-1 Peanut Protein, you'll get the natural peanut flavor that you want, with less fat and often less calories. When it comes to applications and how you choose to eat or drink your peanut powder; the only limit is your imagination.
Yes, it's made with natural ingredients such as defatted peanut protein, monk fruit, organic cane sugar, and stevia. There is a trace amount of milk flavor present in one of the natural flavors used, but it's completely lactose free, gluten free, and vegetarian friendly.,412,$49.99,$12.50,$37.49,$0.00,412,graphics/00000001/je-peanut_big.jpg,,PEANUT PROTEIN by Jamie Eason,0,0,0,0,graphics/00000001/store_je-peanut.jpg,0

- Portfolio 2
For over 10 years, I've been involved in Information Technology as a profession. However, while I was good at it technically speaking, I wasn't very good socially. So, my career spiraled into the ground. My career was also severely side-tracked well, getting involved with cellular network testing and being on the road all the time. (Oddly, doing rather well with it too.)
I hated the social isolation that my last jobs offered, so I've decided to explore other options. My mother had received some money in an inheritance, but had done nothing with it, being afraid of losing money due to ignorance. So, she asked me to take about 10k to see what I could do with it. So, now, I suppose I'm a Cramer follower, after checking out his background, and following a few of his picks one week. I'm addicted now. :)
So, now I'm learning how to make best use of stockpickr, Cramer's website, and his strategies, as well as looking for tools for fundamental analysis.
