Opening the eyes of teachers to not only teach but to connect with their students and families on an emotional level, was the focus of a training class.
The training was conducted by Education Consultant, Kim Hunt of Dallas, Texas at the Webster Parish School Board office Wednesday, May 15.
Hunt has owned a consulting business – Kim Kares, LLC – for the past three years and has six years of experience.
"I help administrators reach families and connect with families in an effort to increase student achievement," Hunt said. "Our ultimate goal is to have more families involved – to have kids ready for the work force and college."
Hunt's instructional focus during the morning session was on professionalism and doing what is best for the children while keeping out any personal opinions a teacher or staff may have regarding a child's situation.
In addition, she spent time showing teachers and staff how a child or parent may feel with situations they may be facing.
"An activity engaged the teachers and personnel called, 'It makes me mad when..,' to show them the effects of emotions if they are held in," she said. "The teachers and personnel held and shook a soda can while explaining what made them mad."
Hunt asked the group if they were ready to open the soda can after everyone had their turn. Knowing the can would explode, they urged her not to open it.
"If I open it right now, who will get it (the spewed liquid) first? Will it get on the closest person to me?" Hunt asked. "What I want you guys to realize is that if you keep emotions in, then when you let it out, it will affect everybody. I want us to remember when we are working with families, the value of talking with them about emotions and communications. This is an activity that you can take back and use it with your families or your children in your classroom."
Hunt said any topic can be used.
During the second half of the day, strategic planning was discussed.
"They (schools) will have a year of planned events for the upcoming school year to get families to come out," she said. "They will have topics that families will benefit from – homework, bullying and communication."
"We want something ongoing so that parents know that we are predictable and they come more often," Hunt continued. "We will have a parent evaluation tool so that we can see where the growth lies and talk about the needs assessment to make sure we are tapping into what those families' resources are."
Hunt said her goal was for the children to be life-long learners. In addition, she said the focus has transitioned from parental involvement to family engagement.
"If you don't get a chance to know who these families are, you can't meet their needs and make unfair assumptions and that child will still fall through the cracks and by the wayside," she said. "If they trust you, then they will know that you will take care of their babies."
Under federal requirements, it is mandated that a family engagement program is in place if the school district receives Title I funds.Subscribe to Read!

TALKING ABOUT sex is so much better than talking about gas prices. Democrats are thrilled that birth control is a major issue not only in the presidential election, but in Senate contests across the country.
But be careful what you wish for, especially if you are a woman running for the US Senate in Massachusetts.

AU setting meme | browndemy asked:
-> Domestic Rory and Jess, 10 years later in the future
This has so many notes but I'm pretty sure that like only twelve people know what movie it's from. LOVE THIS MOVIE.
30 Days Of Gilmore Girls
Day Five - Favorite Scene From Season Three (PART 1)
JESS: So, it's been a couple days since you made the big decision. You still going to Yale?
RORY: Yes, I am. It's got all the classes I want and some really great teachers, and plus, you know, as an added bonus, it's really close to here.
JESS: 22.8 miles.
RORY: How'd you know that?
JESS: Do you Yahoo?
RORY: You looked it up?
JESS: Yeah.
RORY: You looked it up.
JESS: I just hit a couple buttons on the computer.
RORY: You looked it up.
JESS: I was bored. There was nothing on TV and I was fooling around, it was something to do, that's it.
RORY: You looked it up.
Would anyone mind if I changed it a bit?
I would continue with just regularly quoting. But instead of reblogging I would keep track of every different sort of pop culture reference they make within the entire series.
And then we'd have a list of EVERYTHING referenced.
Sound good? Or no?
Like mother like.. Oh wait they're not really related.
I did? I didn't mean to. Tumblr probably did that.

Controversy has erupted over the Lee Joon and Oh Yeon Seo couple from MBC's We Got Married.
Recently netizens have been re-posting a post that was put up on Lee Joon's official fan cafe. The post is alleged to have been made by Lee Joon himself as he wrote, "Am I a robot? Who am I doing this for still? I've restrained myself as much as I can and I have something called opinions too. Has that person even apologized in full before? I feel sorry that I have to openly deceive and since I'm a human being, I cannot lie and act openly."
The post was quickly deleted afterwards but not before attracting 110 responses and being screen captured and spread online.
Many took the post as regarding Lee Joon's pseudo marriage with Oh Yeon Seo for We Got Married in light of Oh Yeon Seo's recent love scandal with her drama co-star Lee Jang Woo.
Oh Yeon Seo tearfully reconciled and clarified the situation to Lee Joon in a subsequent episode after the scandal, but many are taking the recent post as a reflection of Lee Joon's feelings.
However, others are saying Lee Joon may not have uploaded the post himself, and may have indeed been hacked, as Lee Joon does not often post in his fan cafe and previously had his email hacked.
His agency has since said it is attempting to determine whether the post was made by Lee Joon but his agency too expressed skepticism it was truly made by him.

Ellen Mease (Grinnell College)
Barbara Becker and Charles Lyons, who worked together on a production of Happy Days, wrote in a joint essay in 1985/6: "The central aesthetic problem for the director and actor is to embody the Beckett text, in performance, without supplying the scenic, psychological or emotional contexts that Beckett the playwright has carefully removed from the text." Jonathan Kalb, arguing against the impositions of the modern "director's theatre," defends the advantages of hewing to Beckett's minimalist lead. Angela Moorjani has advocated an aesthetics of indirection, allowing the unseen and unsaid to remain just that, as inducements to the free-play of the audience's imagination. The central dramatic action of most of the plays is a character's recitation of a text or performance of a routine designed, as habit is, to give shape to inchoate experience and provide some sense of human identity in an environment, often bizarrely stripped of detail, that lacks the usual confirming coordinates of time and placea road and a tree, a mound of scorched earth, a darkened void, faintly lit floorboards. The absence of contextualizing scenic information, coupled with the gaps in memory that threaten the characters' mooring in time, contributes to what Lyons and Becker call the Beckettian crisisthat radical sense of uncertainty in the struggle of these dramatic figures to come to grips with themselves. (As the tailor in Nagg's story observes, we are the victims of a cosmic joker who did not take our measure in making the world, at best indifferent, at worst inimical to our needs.) "The inherent danger in performing Beckett is to explain theatrically what the playwright goes to great effort to keep indeterminate. " Efforts at "explicitation"representational re-settings like the Boston undergroundcan interfere with the communication of that central crisis of a consciousness forced to speculate on its own identity in the absence of any determinate reality beyond its own workings, in prolonged iterations of a poetically spare, well-worn routine that is our only recourse as we waste and pine. Beckett notoriously refused to interpret his own workif I knew who Godot was I'd have said so in the play. In rehearsals he turned his actors to the tasks of making music and movement, using the formal media of the stage, verbal and visual, to give shape to the poetic ideas of the plays, tightly structured echoes and rhythmic repetitions of musical phrase, movement pattern, gesture, posture and pose. The poet refashioned himself as a theatre artist. The production notebooks and abundant rehearsal accounts attest to Beckett's disciplined efforts to make less more as he clarified his theatrical images. Rather than prescriptive, they are descriptive models of exacting practice. (Like Brecht's modellbuchs, they can also spare us the labor of reinventing the wheel.) In a world of information and image overload, we all stand to gain from the example of such patient elaboration. Beckett's prose hones our abilities at close reading; the plays, realized in the details of their formal abstraction, teach us to see not with the eyes of this world but the inner world, on the cusp of Murphy's third zone.

'Nina' Simone is Resurrected Thanks to Zoe Saldana
In the spirit of making biopics of African American artists, it's easy to think that maybe Beyonce will follow in the footsteps of Katy Perry and release her own little story. Betcha it would be called "Bootylicious". Don't worry; I'm not headed in that direction. I'm going towards something dramatically more sophisticated, poignant, and impacting.
Tinsel town has picked a strong actor to fill the shoes of the singer/songwriter, activist, and pianist Nina Simone. According to The Hollywood Reporter, Zoe Saldana has signed on to play Simone in the biopic Nina. Written and directed by Cynthia Mort (The Brave One) production begins October of this year. This role could be a step into the Oscar direction for Saldana, similar to the response of Jamie Foxx in Ray and Denzel Washington in Malcolm X.
If you're not familiar with Simone, get on YouTube. Better yet, search for Lil Wayne "Misunderstood" and listen to the hauntingly, deep vocal sample. You can't mistake it; the strength of a woman from South Carolina who advocated violence during the civil rights movement, who performed a cover of Billie Holidays' erie ballad "Strange Fruit", and expressed life through her passion. Saldana is a perfect fit.

LOUISVILLE, KY (WAVE) - One member of a local crime ring known as the 'Red Bull Bandits' was sentenced Wednesday to ten years in prison.
Michael Aldendorf, 29, of Louisville, is one of ten people arrested for engaging in organized crime by committing a string of robberies and thefts in the 40215 area code in the latter part of 2011. Aldendorf has been out of jail on home incarceration awaiting his sentencing. Since Aldendorf complied with all conditions of his home release the Commonwealth agreed to cut his possible sentence in half.
Assistant Commonwealth's Attorney Nick Mudd said he is satisfied with the sentence handed down by Judge Olu Stevens.
"We think it's fair," said Mudd. "It's a ten year sentence on all the charges, he did comply with what he was suppose to comply with while he was out so it was originally a 20 year sentence, because he complied, it's now a ten year sentence and I think both sides are satisfied with it at this point."
Ten people were originally arrested and charged with crimes ranging from burglary to organized crime. Some of the suspects have already taken plea deals while others still await their fate.
Mudd said there will be another pre-trial conference with the remaining members of the gang on Friday. Once that is complete we could learn when the remaining members will be sentenced.

One of the most important ecological issues concerning our planet is climate change.
It is generally agreed that the Earth's climate will modify
in response to radiative forcing induced by changes in atmospheric trace gases,
cloud cover, cloud type, solar radiation, and tropospheric aerosols
(liquid or solid particles suspended in the air).
In order to develop conceptual and predictive global climate models,
it is vital to monitor these properties.
Two MODIS (Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer) instruments,
the first launched on 18 December 1999 onboard the Terra Platform
and the second on 4 May 2002 onboard the Aqua platform,
are uniquely designed (wide spectral range, high spatial resolution, and near daily global coverage)
to observe and monitor these and other Earth changes.
Feature L1B Granule Image
Armageddon-like Dust Storm
Collection 006 Change Summary (newly released collection, processing)
Collection 051 Change Summary (last completed collection)
It should be noted that the MODIS data record began in March 2000 for Terra (10:30 LST nomimal daytime overpass) and July 2002 for Aqua (13:30 LST nominal daytime overpass).
Finally, note that MODIS Terra HDF files always begin with the prefix "MOD", while MODIS Aqua HDF files always begin with the prefix "MYD".
MODIS Data Processing & Availability Calendar
Search & Order MODIS Data (LAADS web site)
It should be noted that LAADS web site searches (link above) are limited to 2000 files; so you may need to limit the time period or spatial coordinates to complete a search successfully.

Spring from the desert where the wildflowers bloom...
where the birds chirp in the warm sun and find their seed,
among the sycamore, the grape vine, the tall pine and palm.
Even the snowbirds bask their limbs in the desert sun.
Spring is ever so present in the morning hue...
as Cupid begins to bend his bow early this season.
The morning jog is once again fresh this time of year,
when the spirit of renewal is upon my soul.
How the music rings sweetly from the concertos in time...
tis a blessing which finds peace in the light of day.
As the birds chirp and the little children are at play,
Spring from the desert brings forth goodness today.
Robert's Book of Poetry

Easily grown in average, medium moisture, well-drained soils in full sun. Becomes weedy and sparse with diminished flowering performance if not grown in full sun. Does poorly in wet conditions. In USDA Zones 5 and 6, this plant will often die to the ground in winter and therefore is often grown therein in the manner of an herbaceous perennial. Even if plants do not die to the ground in winter, they usually grow more vigorously, produce superior flowers and maintain a better shape if cut close to the ground in late winter each year. Removal of spent flower spikes during the growing season may encourage additional bloom.
ADONIS BLUE is a dwarf butterfly bush that has been introduced into commerce as part of the English Butterfly Series developed by Elizabeth Keep of East Malling, England. Plants in this series (see also PEACOCK and PURPLE EMPEROR) are noted for producing large flower clusters on dense, well-branched shrubs that are 1/2 to 1/3 the size of typical B. davidii plants. ADONIS BLUE is an upright shrub that grows to 3-5' tall and as wide. Spike-like terminal and axillary clusters (to 8-10" long) of dark blue flowers bloom from June to September and sometimes to first frost. Flowers are mildly fragrant, and, as the common name suggests, very attractive to butterflies. Willowy, elliptic, medium green leaves with serrate margins are slightly glossy.
No serious insect or disease problems.
A small buddleia for a compact corner of the landscape. Provides attractive summer to early fall flowers when few other shrubs are in bloom. Grow in borders, cottage gardens, rose gardens or butterfly gardens. Usually does not make a good single specimen shrub. Popular fresh cut flower.

An old-fashioned ice cream social gets scooping in Riverside on Sunday, June 30.
COSTUMES AND COLD STUFF: Stick the word "social" on the end of practically any food-based event and it instantly classes it up. Are we right or are we right? Try it. "Come over for burgers" sounds pretty casual, like people are going to show up in jean shorts and flip-flops, but put "burger social" on the invite and those jean shorts become jeans and maybe even khakis, if things get especially posh. But there's only one foodstuff that regularly proceeds "social" and that's ice cream. And not all that often these days. An ice cream social implies a gentler, lacier, tea-in-grandma's-parlor-type time. It says that the cold treat may show up in silver cups and you may consume it daintily, with a wee silver spoon. Most of all, it says Victoriana, or at least olden times, where people really did participate in ice-cream-socializing on a semi-regular basis. We must pause here to tap our chin and wonder what California city loves its Victoriana so much that it would be the perfect place to throw a modern-day-meets-ye-olden-time social. Why that city would be...
RIVERSIDE: Of course, Riverside, the town that hosts the Charles Dickens festival each February, a fest which is famous for being one of the biggest Dickens to-dos anywhere and for the Queen Victoria sightings (yep, she's there, being amused). The historic hamlet embraces its late 19th-century-ness again on Sunday, June 30 with a pre-Fourth of July ice cream social. The ice cream is the obvious part -- it is in the name, yep yep -- but what else is on the schedule?
WAIT FOR IT: A cotillion dance, musket demos, Victorian games, music entertainment that includes bagpipes and dulcimers, and people in costume. Seriously, this is serious for a sweet-based Saturday. It happens at the Metropolitan Museum's Heritage House. Two things we're liking? One: It'll have a Independence Day thing going, meaning you can start that celebration early. And two? It's the final day of Riverside Restaurant Week, if you want to try that out, too. But can you eat dessert before dinner? Sure you can, if you want. You're not a kid any longer and your parents aren't there. (Or, maybe they will be, and maybe they, too, want to eat dessert first. So build a new family tradition already.)

For almost 40 years, Eleanor Workman has devoted her life to helping the people of Haiti.
Since 1974, Workman has performed missionary work for children on the island.
Her work has earned her the nickname, "Mom."
Sunday, the organization "Mom" founded, Christian Haitian Outreach celebrated her contributions during a service at Paine College's Gilbert-Lambuth Memorial Chapel.
"It was wonderful," Workman said. "We've been looking forward to it."
Workman says she's most happy the people at the celebration are so involved with her work in Haiti.
"They care about the children in Haiti not having food, not having enough food," she says.
Workman recently turned 93, and has moved to Augusta after spending most of her time in Haiti and Miami.
The CHO is responsible for establishing orphanages, churches, medical facilities, and schools in Haiti, and Workman has trained over 200 people to become pastors.

By Jennifer Emert - bio | email ALBANY, GA (WALB) – Albany Police need your help identifying three suspects in a smash and grab at an East Albany convenience store.
The men threw two rocks through the front glass door of the Petro Food Mart on Radium Springs Road December 19th. They stole candy, cigarettes, and cash. You can see they're wearing hoodies and gloves, but police want you to look closely at one area of the surveillance video where at least one of the suspects pulls down his hood.
"You can clearly see his face as he removed his hoodie. There's a camera shot of him where you can see his face pretty clearly so we're hoping someone will recognize him and not be afraid to call police and if you are afraid to call police you can use crime stoppers and you may get a reward," said Phyllis Banks, Albany Police Media Manager.
Police say even if it's something small, it could be the break they need to make an arrest.

Chicken soup advice!
- l
- Learning2cook Mar 6, 2008 11:08 AM
I really love Progresso chicken noodle soup (reduced sodium one). Unfortunately, it is so artificial and has so much msg that I want to try to avoid it. I am a college student, so making home made stock is not an option. So, I bought a natural chicken stock (this one really doesn't have msg- even under it's pseudonyms ex: hydrolyzed protein). So, I put some veggies (green beans and carrots) the broth, left over chicken, and noodles in the pot. Let's just say that everyone last night had leftovers. It did not taste at all like "homemade chicken soup." Any suggestions? Thanks so much!
sautee the veggies first with some s&p. I used carrots, onion, and celery last night. sometimes i use a bit of garlic. pour over the stock, broth, or better than bullion and bring to a simmer. (I used homemade last night....). I poach the chicken breasts in the soup and shred it up and return it to the soup. Last night i added some egg noodles, but sometimes I use barley or rice. it was delicious.
Not clear whether you're doing this in a dorm or an apartment. If the latter, it's worth buying a Crock-Pot (or ask for one for your birthday). You can dump all kinds of things in it and when you come home 8 hours later your dinner will be ready. My son's cooking days began with college life, a Crock-Pot, and homemade chili. Re stock: just put a few chicken leg & thigh pieces, a cut-up onion, a couple of cut-up pieces of celery, salt, and water to an inch from the top in your Crock-Pot, turn it on, and 8 hours later you will have REAL chicken stock. If you have a big (5 quarts roughly) Crock-Pot use 4 chicken leg-thighs. Afterwards, remove all the solids and add noodles or whatever you want. BTW the reason canned soup is so tasty is that it is loaded with all those chemicals you mentioned: that's why they're there. Gross concept, isn't it.
re: Querencia
I second the motion of using leg and thigh meat. Those pieces have a richer flavor than do chicken breasts. I know that from a health standpoint chicken fat is a no-no, but it does add flavor. If you can tolerate having the skin on the meat while cooking, do so, and remove the skin before serving the soup.
I make a relatively "healthy" (I use dark meat) and very non-traditional chicken soup in the microwave. I use a large microwave proof casserole with a lid (Pyrex makes a nice one), then put in one or two raw chicken thighs (with skin), a large variety of fresh or frozen vegetables and an individual serving size of V-8 vegetable juice. Then bring the liquid level high enough to cover everything completely using organic chicken broth. You can use water if you don't have the broth on hand. And of course, you can omit the V-8 if you want something more traditional. Nuke on high for 18 or so minutes, testing the thighs for doneness. Remove chicken thighs and skin/bone them, break thigh meat into pieces and return to soup. Mix well and serve.
Veggies I've used: Basically everything, but ALWAYS onion. Bell pepper will modify the flavor more than any other veggie, but it's still good and I do add Hungarian sweet paprika for more of a "goulash" flavor. A typical mix of veggies is diced or sliced onion, chopped fresh tomatoes, celery, sliced cabbage, diced potatoes, fresh spinach leaves, zucchini. Corn can be used fresh (off the cob), frozen or canned, they all work just fine, but this isn't true of other canned veggies. No limit on the combination of vegetables you can use if you have them on hand. Toss in some beets and you've got an 'Accidental Borscht." And then, of course, you're beholden to top it off with a dollop of sour cream, which is also true of the goulash-y soup. Quick, easy, and good. For the hearty kinds that cry out for sour cream, add a crusty loaf of artisan bread and you've got a complete winter meal. Hey, it's snowing outside. Maybe it's time to nuke!
It sounds like your soup was missing the flavors provided by herbs, onions, garlic, and celery. I think celery is a key ingredient. I saute minced garlic, chopped onions, celery and carrots in a small bit of oil. Add broth and leftover chicken. Add 1 or 2 bay leaves (but make sure to remove before serving), 1/2 tsp dillweed, 1/2 tsp thyme, 1 tsp salt. I'm trying to remember my recipe which is actually adapted from a vegetarian mock chicken noodle soup in one of the Moosewood cookbooks. And I use rice instead of noodles because that's what my husband likes. Fresh parsley is a good addition, too.
BTW a good place to buy herbs and spices is at a health food store or food co-op where they are sold in bulk and you can measure out only what you need.
Yep, as everyone said -- you were probably missing some of the most important aromatics, namely mirepoix = finely diced carrots, celery stalk, and onion. I also always throw leeks in which give the soup a distinct onion-y (or, perhaps more acurate 'leek-y) flavor. Start off with sweating the mirepoix, then add the soup/stock/what have you. Throw in thigh meat, and I'd definitely get the skin-on type. Another pound of carrots (hey, I like my carrots), simmer for an hour or so. I'd also recommend boiling the egg noodles in their own pot. The thigh meat should fall off the bone pretty much, and the skin comes off easily. Assemble soup, meat & noodles = overall yumboskiness. Oh, and some chopped fresh parsley at the end is GREAT.
green beans and carrots don't have enough flavour by themselves. IMO, soup needs onions. I always add garlic to my chicken soup, but that's just me. It's worth it to have some bay leaves on hand, but since you're a college student, maybe you're living in a dorm so you don't have a place for that. And salt and pepper, you should add both of those, as well, though careful about the salt because the commercial broth might be on the salty side, but don't assume it doesn't need any salt added. (Are you in a dorm?)
toss a small onion in ... with 3 or 4 cloves stuck in it .... (depends on the amount of broth)
and of course some garlic more onion celery carrots should do it just fine
Great homemade chicken soup can be incredibly simple. Here's the easiest version:
Toss a couple pounds of (raw) bone-in skinless chicken thighs in a soup pot with cold water to cover by an inch, a healthy pinch of (non-iodized) salt, and (nice, but not absolutely necessary) a glass of white wine. Put the pan on the stove and simmer (never boil soup) until the chicken is cooked through--20 minutes or so should do it.
Meantime, chop up an onion, a couple of carrots, and a few stalks of celery. Maybe a pound or so of each vegetable. When the chicken is done, fish it out of the pot, dump in the veggies, add more water if there isn't enough liquid to cover, and simmer until the carrots are tender (probably 15-20 minutes).
Once the chicken is cool enough to handle, remove the meat from the bone, tear or chop it into bite-sized pieces, and return it to the pot along with some black pepper. Correct the seasonings and let stand off the heat for at least ten minutes before serving over boiled egg noodles, rice, orzo, or any other suitable starch.
This soup is guaranteed delicious, and it's even better the next day. As far as additions go, a bay leaf and some tarragon are very welcome. You can change the soup a little (tomatoes, green beens, and garlic) or take it in a completely new direction (substitute fish sauce for the salt and add lemongrass, chopped bird chiles, and kaffir lime leaves). But there's absolutely nothing wrong with keeping it simple, either.
re: alanbarnes
I cook the chicken and an onion for about 1/2 hour. I add low sodium chicken soup powder (Telma) and then prepare vegetables like carrots, celery, parsley, and dill which it added later. Make sure you skim the froth to get a clear soup. Cook the soup about 1-1/2 hours, discard all vegetable except the carrots. Noodles, rice, tortellini or matzo ball can be served with the soup with the carrots.
I would have to go with the flow here and say that you seem to be missing veggies and spice. The soup I make, recipe handed down by my grandma, adds a little clove, hard boiled eggs and Portugese chourica in addition to the veggies already mentioned.
I think that if you were to cook the broth with the sauteed celery, onions, and celery, some celery tops, bay leaf, parsley, and whatever other herbs you think will compliment it, and let that come to a boil and then bring it down to a low simmer you could really develop the broth into a stock like liquid. It would also be good if you could add a smoked turkey wing to that. After it has cooked, and you have tasted it and are pleased, take out the celery tops, parsley, bay leaf, and turkey wing, and maybe the onions. Then add the noodles to cook. At the end toss in the chicken, making sure it has enough time to get warm. Good luck!
Smiling because I just put up a big chicken stock pot before I sat down to view this site. I use the traditional onion, celery, carrots for aromatics as well as leeks and parsnips. The parsnips add a great sweetness to the soup, but in a savory way. The carrots & parnsips complement each other vary much. I also add fresh herbs like parsley or dill. Someone suggested chicken without the bone, but I feel the bones add a great deal of flavor and help the soup gelatinize or give it enough body.
Can't comment about a slow cooker/crock pot, but you might be able to find one at a thrift or 2nd hand store if you don't want to make a major investment. If you are into soup/stew/braising, this would be a good tool to have.
Rather than giving you a recipe for making chicken soup in a microwave, I should have commented on what you've done. First off, let's establish that soup is always a matter of personal preference. Some people think a certain bowl of soup is great while another person doesn't want a second spoonful of the same soup. So you have to find what you like.
As to your method, first of all, I've never made a chicken soup using pre-cooked chicken that I found satisfying. So even if you don't have access to a refrigerator, you obviously have a way of heating things, so you can make soup from scratch. Sweat a mirapoix made of half an onion, a small carrot and a stick of celery all diced to about 1/4 inch cubes. Use flavorless oil or drawn butter and don't brown them. Add one or two chicken thighs (I like to leave the skin on) and bring to a simmer. Hold that temperature until the chicken thighs are done. Remove them, cool, discard skin and break meat into small pieces and return to pot. Oh, discard the bones as well. Now you have a good basic chicken soup. Lots of things you can do with it from here, and it's also very good "as is."
If you want to add any sort of pasta, including noodles or orzo, cook them in a seperate pot of water first, then shock them in cold water until they are cold as well before adding them to the soup. If you cook any sort of macaroni product in soup, two things will happen. First, it will thicken the soup and give it a floury taste. Second, should you have any leftovers you want to refrigerate, the pasta will continue absorbing liquid and the next day you'll have a pot of macaronni and no soup. To duplicate the soup the next day, refrigerate soup and pasta seperately. My personal preference is to treat rice the same way, and I use medium grain rice because I don't like the way long grain rice stores.
You can add any variety of vegetables you like for a chicken vegetable soup.
This basic "soup" can also be used for a base for other chicken dishes. If you want to make chicken and big fat "depression era" dumplings, after boning the chicken return the bones (but not the chicken) to the pot and toss in some diced potatoes and more carrots and celery chunks, cook until veggies are done, remove bones, add chicken, then mix some Bisquick according to the package directions for "drop biscuits" and spoon in blobs over the top of the soup, cover and simmer for at least the time the recipe indicates for baking. Test with a toothpick to see that the inside of the dumplings are cooked. A wide shallow pot allows for maximum dumplings.
If you have an oven, now or in the future, follow the recipe for chicken with dumplings (but skip the dumplings), use lots of potatoes and carrots and even some more onions, then when the potatoes and carrots are nearly done, add some frozen green peas and minced parsley. When carrots and potatoes are cooked, thicken the sauce with a beurre manie made by mixing soft butter and flour with a fork until you have a thick paste. Drop bits of it into the simmering soup until the desired thckness is gained. Butter the rim only of a 2 inch deep baking dish large enough to hold the chicken mixture at a fairly full level. Pour in chicken mixture and top with a package of well thawed frozen puff pastry, cut some vents in the top, paint with an egg wash (an egg with about a teaspoon of water mixed well) and bake in a hot oven until puff pastry is puffy and browned. For other easy variations, instead of the puff pastry you can top the chicken pie with a package or two of refrigerator biscuits. If you're more ambitious and want something really unique and satisfying, top it with a dozen or so layers of well buttered phyllo pastry and bake in a medium oven until golden brown.
In my experience, these recipe variations are always more satisfying than anything you can do with stock and pre-cooked chicken, and it's very close to being as easy. May you have a fabulous kitchen in your future!

Somehow, some time ago, our society decided that humor - above all, regardless of quality, context, or subject, was the holiest of all things. Somehow, humor was infallible. Standup comedy became a righteous act, that regardless of what they were saying, was never to be interrupted. Jokes were just "jokes," somehow Piss Christ becoming more holy than Christ himself.
Suddenly, it's somehow my obligation as "a man" to stand up and defend any comedian who gets called out making a joke, forever, defending them from any and all criticism, because otherwise I was letting "censorship" destroy America. Jokes are just jokes, little lady, you need to shut your mouth before your evil Feminism defeats Free Speech and all that's right in America. Regardless of the context of said Joke, Joke is free from any and all consequences.
Last week was certainly an interesting week. It was a disheartening week if you were a man even halfway aware of how ass backwards our society is and has yet to go, as far as empathy, equality, and the divide between social groups in this country are concerned. To start off, a pair of men walking down the street one evening started harassing and terrifying a drunk woman trying to make her way home alone opposite the street of them. At one point, one of them shouts about how he'd like to have her way with her in a back alley, laughing to himself.
So a woman in the vicinity turns around and breaks his nose. She goes home and posts on the Internet about it. Suddenly, men come out of the woodwork to defend this poor, poor rape joker man. Not the woman being harassed, not at all. Depending on who you ask this woman didn't even exist. So, after shouting down and harassing a lone woman in the street at night, "joking" about raping her in a society that has over a third of college aged men admitting they would commit sexual assault if they knew they could get away with it - does this "joke" somehow exist alone, in a cultural void, on it's own pillar of being untouchable? Are minority groups that are subject to violence on the basis of their identity supposed to get on their knees and bow to Jokes, the most important cornerstone of society?
It's actually quite ironic, for all the putting down of women for being "catty," men were certainly jumping all over each other to shout down any Misandrist Feminazi Soldier who dared voice her support of the woman in here for not putting up with a culture that treats sexual assault like a joke and expects her to stand idly by while her fellow woman is being shouted at and harassed for the grand crime of walking down the street alone at night after a few drinks.
Of course, this constant abuse men seem to enjoy subjecting women to, over and over again, the rape jokes, don't exist in a vacuum or a cultural void. They stack, and build upon each other to form a rather disgusting cornerstone of our society, a cancer that seems to have no cure. This was proved ever more evident last week with the broken nose being followed up with Daniel Tosh getting "heckled," the grandest offense of all in the Towel of Babel. Tosh makes a rape joke, and a woman in the audience shouts hey, those aren't fucking funny.
Which is a fact, and if you don't have the empathy to understand the cruelty then it's simply a technical matter - comedy doesn't work by having "awful, horrid thing" being the butt of the joke.
Tosh responds with something along the lines of, hey, wouldn't it be funny if she got raped by like five guys right now, or, she was probably raped by five guys, trying to deflect this "heckle," when she was making a statement of fact. Again, if your "humor" is awful, horrible fucking thing happening to someone, especially in the audience, then you're trying too hard and not funny. Tosh was cruel, and unfunny, in a two-for-one deal of broadcasting what a piece of shit he is.
What was quite fascinating was as this controversy was making the circles around the Internet, I bothered to search "Daniel Tosh," and the Top Tweets? A stream, a constant stream of white man after white man after white man jumping to the defense of Tosh.
Twice this week I've watched, as the legion of men went marching across the social networks of the internet, chanting the name of Funny Men, and coming up with excuses upon excuses of why this woman was in the wrong - that you never, ever, ever "heckle" a comedian, and that if someone says something you don't like, little lady, you're to run away and never say a word, never standing up for yourself or calling out the injustices in society. How quaint. I mean, they're just Jokes, right? How could they be harmful? Like words, just leaving the lips, right? Like communication? Racism is a communicated entity. Sexism is a communicated entity. Bigotry doesn't just exist - it's communicated and shared, and since Jokes are communicated they hold just as much weight as anything else, regardless of if they're said by some punk with a microphone in his hand on a stage.
Comedy can help, and it can heal. Yet when it comes to sexual assault and the toxic views men hold of women in society, we as men have been nothing but cruel, toxic, and utterly disgusting.
As men we've failed. Trying to live up to some sort of romanticized ideal of masculine heroics, of sticking up for the little guy, doing what's right, Freedom and The American Way™ - we somehow picked the wrong fights. Electing the wrong heroes as champions of the cause, partaking in all sorts of delusions. It makes me wonder, in this race to bottom, how Comedy became where men fell on the sword.
Regardless, it's become embarrassing, disgusting, and utterly pathetic to watch. When Men's Rights Activists cry about the End of Men, it's not going to be from Evil Feminazigul Witches or "Hecklers" or "Bullies" - it's going to be because we damned ourselves in our endorsement and worship of people like that shitty comedian who made a career narrating over low quality Youtube videos who thinks a woman getting gang raped is hilarious, or that guy who lives in his mother's basement making animated Sonic the Hedgehog tentacle rape porn, that makes a flash game where you can beat a woman who's only crime was speaking her mind, or that overweight, greasy little shitlord The Amazing Athiest, who beyond somehow retaining a following, is most notorious for recording himself pouring coffee and shoving a banana up his asshole and sending it around to women in the hopes they'd be into it. A few days ago he posted a video going on a little rant about the same events I've just covered.
The reason I bring him up is because it's in his little recap video, he refers to the woman who broke that man's nose as a "Bully," and that woman who shouted down Daniel Tosh as a "Heckler," reducing them to labels. Not even human, just vague labels you're supposed to be angry against, as the poor, poor men are rescued by the white night with a camera and a Youtube channel. In warfare, the military learned that to increase the amount of soldiers who would fire their weapon in battle, they'd have to train their men to see their enemy as less than human, reducing them to simple concepts and labels. I shouldn't have to explain why this is a problem.
Look, if Men on the Internet are going to fall behind unfunny comedians, cartoon tentacle rape porn generators, and a man who shoves food up his arse and records it - then what else is there to say? We've lost any illusion of decency, and we have only ourselves to blame.
Damn us all.

The Hidden Reality: Parallel Universes and the Deep Laws of the Cosmosby Brian Greene
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
There was a time when "universe" meant all there is. Everything. Yet, in recent years discoveries in physics and cosmology have led a number of scientists to conclude that our universe may be one among many. With crystal-clear prose and inspired use of analogy, Brian Greene shows how a range of different "multiverse" proposals emerges from theories developed to explain the most refined observations of both subatomic particles and the dark depths of space: a multiverse in which you have an infinite number of doppelgängers, each reading this sentence in a distant universe; a multiverse comprising a vast ocean of bubble universes, of which ours is but one; a multiverse that endlessly cycles through time, or one that might be hovering millimeters away yet remains invisible; another in which every possibility allowed by quantum physics is brought to life. Or, perhaps strangest of all, a multiverse made purely of mathematics.
Greene, one of our foremost physicists and science writers, takes us on a captivating exploration of these parallel worlds and reveals how much of reality's true nature may be deeply hidden within them.
From the best-selling author of The Elegant Universe and The Fabric of the Cosmos: his most thrilling and accessible book to date—a state-of-the-art tour of the cutting-edge science that is changing the way we see our world.
In recent years, a growing body of work—based on the principles of quantum mechanics, cosmology, and string theory—has been steadily converging around a proposal that our universe is actually only one of many universes. In fact, research supports a number of different models of parallel universes in which our world appears: for instance, as one of many "bubbles" in a rapidly growing bath of universes, or as one of numerous cosmic slabs separated from one another through additional spatial dimensions.
Brian Greene, with his trademark impartiality, crystal-clear prose, and inspired use of analogy, opens up the strange worlds of the "multiverse," taking us on a journey grounded firmly in science, and limited only by our ima ginations.
From the Hardcover edition.
About the Author
Brian Greene received his undergraduate degree from Harvard University and his doctorate from Oxford University, where he was a Rhodes Scholar. He joined the physics faculty of Cornell University in 1990, was appointed to a full professorship in 1995, and in 1996 joined Columbia University, where he is professor of physics and mathematics. His first book, The Elegant Universe, was a national bestseller and a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize. His most recent book, The Fabric of the Cosmos, was also a national bestseller.

For those of us that have lots of jewelry (yes I'm guilty) sometimes finding the right storage for all of it can be challenging. And, if you can't see it or get it out easily, it's likely you just won't bother. There are many jewelry boxes out there, and the larger ones can be quite expensive; Caitlin just discovered a great find to sort, organize and store all of her pieces. The container is clear, you can adjust the dividers to fit the pieces you have and best of all not expensive. It is so much more fun to look for the right accessory to wear each day when you can see it and get to it quickly.

The gun auction: NH's police chiefs keep their cool
Last fall the chiefs planned a raffle for this coming May. The items raffled away would be guns - 31 in total, one for each day of the month. Tickets for the Month of NH Made Firearms raffle sold out immediately. Then Adam Lanza opened fire on kindergarteners, and suddenly the raffle was drawing nationwide attention, much of it negative.
In the weeks since, the chiefs could have cancelled the raffle and refunded the money. To their credit, they did not. Earlier this month, Salem Police Chief Paul Donovan, president of the chiefs association, issued the following statement:
"While this raffle falls on the heels of the recent tragedy in Newtown, Connecticut, the New Hampshire Association of Chiefs of Police extends their deepest sympathies to the families and first responders. New Hampshire Chiefs of Police feel the issues with these tragic shootings are ones that are contrary to lawful and responsible gun ownership. We believe in and support the Second Amendment, and encourage education in the area of firearms safety."
The chiefs understand what their critics do not: that there is a huge difference between responsible and irresponsible gun ownership, and that the problems caused by irresponsible gun owners and users do not justify ending the dissemination of firearms among responsible citizens. Would that everyone kept such cool heads during times of great emotional distress.

James Joyce - author of 'one of the least read novels of the century, as one of the filthiest novels ever written and as one of the cleverest.'
Now this is a challenge! James Joyce's Ulysses has an awesome reputation - as one of the greatest novels of the twentieth century, as one of the least read novels of the century, as one of the filthiest novels ever written and as one of the cleverest. It is all of these, and more, but let's get something straight - for all its wit, bravura and its tricksiness, it is also one of the funniest most entertaining books to come out of Ireland, and is one of the most tender accounts of everyday life ever written. It is a completely engrossing portrait of the life of a great city over one day - Dublin on June 16th 1904, now known as Bloomsday after the workaday hero of the novel. Which is reason enough for Radio 4 to break its schedule and broadcast it across one day on June 16th.
We are in safe hands I think - Melvyn Bragg will set the book in its context in In Our Time a couple of days before, Mark Lawson, live from Dublin, will guide us through the novel as it is being broadcast, and the dramatisation - co produced by Jeremy Mortimer, fresh from his Sony triumph with A Tale of Two Cities, and Jonquil Panting, written by Robin Brooks who dazzled us with his version of I, Claudius a few years back, and starring Henry Goodman, Andrew Scott, Niamh Cusack, Stephen Rea and a stellar Irish cast - promises to be wonderful.
But it is pretty earthy too: it has one of the best toilet scenes in world literature, and enough sexual content for it to be seen as a work of pornography when it was first published. And Radio 4 is doing it all. To do Ulysses without the sex would to be unfaithful to one of the most beautiful books in the English language, and we think our audience would not thank us for censoring a masterpiece. Or as my boss, the Controller, Gwyneth Williams, says, luckily for us James Joyce was writing with the Radio 4 schedule in mind - although we have no watershed on Radio 4, all the sex scenes come late at night.
You have been warned - but it promises to be a real treat and great days listening, and if you cannot catch it all on air, it will be there to listen again and download for a fortnight after transmission. Please enjoy!
Editor note: James Joyce's Ulysses will be broadcast in seven parts on Saturday 16 June. The dramas will be available to download. Clips, videos, character profiles and a series of blog posts wil be available on the Radio 4 website.
Listen to clips, meet the characters, sign up for the downloads and find out more about this landmark dramatisation on the Ulysses site.
All posts are reactively-moderated and must obey the house rules.
Join the discussion...
Greatly looking forward to this.
I searched for the podcast feed, to add it to my reader, but it's not available yet. In searching, though, I discovered Frank Delaney's epic podcast of the whole of Ulysses with detailed discussion as he goes.
There's a list of previous podcasts but it only goes back to episode 11. You can overcome this, however, if you open the RSS feed, which goes right back to the first episode.
Looking forward to listening to this great epic.
Please please please leave the Archers alone. The vast majority of listeners do not want it to turn into a ''dramatic' series. We love the smallness of the story lines - which are in fact much more true to life than the 'dramatic' series on the TV. Most of us do not have any experience of gang shootings etc and we certainly don't want that sort of stroyline intruding into a lovely peaceful viallge of Ambridge. LEAVE it alone and let it continue tp reflect the minutiae of life - the real stuff.
On this week's Desert Island Discs Margaret Rhodes revealed that when she was a child water would freeze in her unheated bedroom. This privation could be encountered some 25 years later in Chapel Court of Jesus College, Cambridge, during the winter of 1957/8. Plus ça change? Not quite - that part of Chapel Court is currently undergoing a splendid renovation.
I would like to add weight to Duckpond's comment about Frank Delaney's podcast, dissecting Ulysses paragraph by paragraph. I was one of those "I started Ulysses once but didn't finish it " people until I found this. It completely won me round. Unfortunately I will be about 100 by the time he finishes it. I can now completely understand Joyce's comment that if Dublin was flattened it could be totally recreated from the pages of Ulysses. Yes......
Delighted that my favourite radio station is being imaginative - just as we expect - but please check the spelling of Niamh Cusack on the Ulysses website. I know Irish names can be awkward, but unless I am much mistaken you could do with rearranging the vowels there.
Now that Joyce's works are out of copyright (i'd rather download the podcats) you can now read 'MY READABLE' Finnegans Wake - here -
This is the first part of the whole book i have rewitten so it is readable to all. I just need a publishing contract now. Any offers?
This is fantastic, I live in Brisbane, Australia, and as you can imagine bloomsday is not exactly a big event here.
For those interested there are a number of websites that have been created for the event
Back to Barracks!
I thought listeners might be interested in the song I penned 20 years ago called Reading Aloud James Joyce. It was well received back then and still gets airplay. (Although it was basically the Dubliners abridged)
Here's the link to the remastered version. Its free downloadable in June http://www.stephendunwoody.com/#!bloomsday

Lurie: Reid must improve communication skills
Andy Reid is fond of saying that he needs to do a better job after losing football games.
It's become a frustrating catch phrase to Eagles fans.
So, it was pretty comical to hear owner Jeffrey Lurie throw it back in Reid's face yesterday when discussing his stormy relationship with the media.
Lurie defended his coach by saying that Reid is just trying to protect his players in press conferences, where his responses often come off as smug and arrogant. Later, Lurie added that he understands the frustration with that part of Reid's act.
"That's what I face as the owner. I have a coach that handles press conferences and communicates with the media in a way that's incredibly protective of his team and that creates a tremendous unselfishness on his part because he's going to suffer in popularity, that's the dynamic here," Lurie said yesterday. "We all have to realize it. I think it's one of the reasons why he's been so successful, but it's sometimes frustrating, and you know I can use a line of Andy's and say Andy's got to do a better job of that."
When pressed as to why he allows Reid to act that way, Lurie described the coach as a completely non-arrogant man who is just trying to shield blame from his players.
"It's protective and there's a difference how you interpret protectiveness," Lurie said. "You can convert it to arrogance if you misjudge it. There's no arrogance in this man. One of the analysis I do when I meet with Andy for multiple times in the last month, and I do it every year, is how humble he is and how self-critical he is, and that goes into my analysis."
Lurie said that both team president Joe Banner and general manager Howie Roseman would return in 2012. As far as changes with the rest of the coaching staff or personnel decisions, Lurie wouldn't speculate. He'll provide limited input, but those decisions are ultimately up to Reid.
"You know it's a constant discussion, but I think one of the important things, and it's important in our locker room, is for Andy to have the final say," Lurie said. "I want our players to understand that he's responsible for selecting his staff. If I had to tell Andy Reid what to do for offensive or defensive coordinator or something like that, then I have the wrong coach."
This upcoming season could provide the final insight into whether Lurie and the Eagles do indeed have the right coach.

Not sure how I feel about this. I know my kids are often bummed when they are waiting for something in the mail and they find out there's no mail on Sunday. So they probably won't be happy about this. What do you think?

On Encouraging Business Experimentation
In innovation, many companies still seem to stick with the first idea they have for a new technology. This keeps happening despite all the research and anecdotes that often, one's first instinct for a technology is the wrong one. For example, "Chemcor," developed in the late 50′s for "phone booths, prison windows, and eyeglasses", was shelved for decades until it became ubiquitous in iPhones.
Some of this lack of change is attributed to how projects get approved. Often the research scientist who came up with the idea must submit an application of said idea in order to get funded. (The logic behind the scientist needing to find the application rather than, say, a marketer is an entire other blog topic). Informing his/her superiors of change could be seen as a sign that the project is failing. (Credit to Session 314 on Entrepreneurial Opportunities for inspiring much of this blog).
But there still seems to be a lack of tolerance in many (but not all) businesses for experimentation. Trying multiple possibilities when just one would do is seen as wasteful. And indeed, sometimes we see the same issues in our classes. Students seem distrustful of classroom experimentation, seeing it as busywork or as a sign that the instructor is not fully prepared.
Is it fair to say that experimentation is a bad word in business circles? And if so, what can be done to convince business people of all ages that experimentation is beneficial?

Due to prescreening, there may be a delay (up to 24 hours) before ads posted will be available on the site. Please submit all free classified ads at least 48 hour prior to your event.
