Injury collision on Leitchfield Road
Date of News Release: 06/07/2011
(Elizabethtown, Ky.) - A 2002 Kia, operated by James Brewer, of Big Clifty, KY, was traveling westbound on Leitchfield Road, near the Hardin County/ Grayson County line, when it left the right shoulder of the roadway, due to the driver falling asleep. Upon reentering the roadway, Brewer overcorrected and lost control of his vehicle, which skidded sideways into the eastbound lane. A 2001 Ford Ranger, operated by a Melissa Decker, of Leitchfield, KY, was traveling eastbound on Leitchfield Road and struck Brewer's vehicle in the passenger side door. Both patients were transported to Hardin Memorial Hospital; however, Brewer was later flown to University of Louisville Hospital, by AirMethods, with potential life-threatening injuries. Decker was treated and released. Both drivers were wearing seatbelts.

Have A Question About The Free Month Trial Of Netflix?
So, we just got the free month trial of Netflix like 4 or 5 days ago. I have an xbox, but the free movies only stream on my computer. We do not know how to get them onto our television. I do not have xbox live nor do I have that little golden ticket. Do I have to have those in order to watch my Netflix movies on my television or is there just a way to hook it up that I haven't figured out yet? Because it would not be free if I had to pay for the extra stuff and it makes the Netflix more expensive as well.
Posted: May 20, 2013
Best Answer
You need an internet connection via Xbox live. So buy a month of Xbox live and you should be good. Or you could have just bought a ps3 in the first place.

What's the Future of…. Celeb/Fan interaction in Social Media?
By Alison Hillhouse, MTV Insights
Thanks to Twitter, Diplo can invite fans to graffiti his photos, Khloe Kardashian wishes followers good luck on midterms and fans truly believe "artists can be your best friends." MTV has been talking with Millennials about this narrowing distance between fans & celebs … we call it "Zero Distancing."
In a panel @MTVInsights hosted during Social Media Week, Millennial super-fans painted a picture of what today's intimate interactions with celebs looks like. Here's what we heard:
· Rewards in Re-tweets: Kassie, 22, went backstage to show the famous DJ Diplo her "Diplo Kitty" nails. "He Instagrammed this shot… and it made my life," she explains. She also talked about when he invited fans to creatively alter a photo of him, and "make it trippy." Kassie's photo-editing creativity earned her a re-tweet. She says, "A re-tweet seems small, but it's so rewarding… it shows me he acknowledges what I did and makes me even more obsessed with him."
· Behind-the-Behind-the-Scenes: Devi, 18, loves One Directions' behind-the-behind-the-scenes Tweets, whether it's Zane taking a photo of Harry sleeping or the guys posting a goofing-off video when fans thought they would've been rehearsing. "It gives you insight into what they do all day… and we get to see this side of them that not all artists share."
· Punctuation Perfectionists: Emily, 17, notes that One Direction fans are OBSESSIVE about every character in every Tweet from their favorite band. "We notice all the little things, where they put periods; how they do smiley faces… we know right away when something is off." Like when a manager takes over. "It irks us. We know that's not Liam. That period wouldn't be there. We know Liam can't spell."
Real Love: Nicole, 14, gets real love and friendship from Khloe on Twitter. Khloe's sent her advice on studying and offered well wishes when she was sick with the flu. Nicole says"It's honestly like I know her, even though we've never met… it's like we just have a relationship. I love her." She explains that every Friday Khloe has FanFriday and will post a picture someone made for her on Twitter… here's Nicole's, along with Khloe's glowing feedback:
So…What's the Future? Through hack sessions MTV orchestrated with Millennial super-fans, we learned they are eager for 3 things from their favorite celebs or artists:
1. More "creative challenges" rewarded: True super-fans aren't opposed to working for celeb-love… in fact it's even preferred. They want to Photoshop images, go on scavenger hunts, write funny one-liners, and then be rewarded by their favorite celeb with something as simple as a re-tweet or as big as a special Meet & Greet for their city
2. Co-creation opportunities: Super-fans want to be part of the creative process , whether that's contributing song lyrics, designing album covers or voting on merchandise. Devi, 18, dreams of a world where fans design official merchandise in place of the "cheesy" OD-branded UGGs… and a contest where a fan gets to serve as photojournalist and take over OD's Instagram feed for a day.
3. Tapping the creative jugular: We've heard that celeb Instagram feeds are hot because they are like "mainlining" into the artist's creative jugular. And our fans are looking for more vehicles to get this intimate revelation as to what inspires their favorite celeb… whether that's through celeb-generated playlists on Spotify or inspirational photos. They want more than just in-the-moment status updates… they want to get inside celebs' brains and unpack what inspires them to actually create.
To read more about celebs and "zero-distancing", check out our initial post here. A recap on @MTVInsights at social media week can be found on the Social Times
Zero-Distancing: The Collapsing Distance Between Fan & Celebrity
By Alison Hillhouse, MTV Insights
* Here's a sneak peak of what's to come in @MTVInsights presentation at Social Media Week NYC on Feb 20th *
It's no longer unusual for the biggest pop star in the world to wish you luck on your math test, or for a reality star to forgo therapy and solicit advice from 8 million teen fans. The pedestal has been dismantled by social media tools in the hands of a generation that loves to flatten hierarchies. We indeed live in a flat world where fans demand not just a VIP pass to celebs, artists and entertainment experiences, but an eye-to-eye view.
This is the age of "Zero-distancing"
As Julian, 21, says "Today, artists can be your best friends." So conversations like this between Nicole (@trukardashfan) and Khole Kardashian about Nicole's upcoming midterms aren't unusual:
As Nicole says, "Khloé always makes time to talk to all of her fans. Whenever I get a tweet from her it makes me so happy because it feels like we are close since we communicate often."
Millennials also crave intimate glimpses into the mundane daily activities of their favorite celebrities, such as Taylor's cat claw clipping:
We hear from Millennials that they click through various social media channels to get different perspectives into a celeb's life, like different video camera angles at a live performance. Each social media channel serves a distinct & unique purpose:
· Facebook is the most "formal and official outlet" for tour updates and information
· Twitter offers a "blow-by-blow feed", and highlights interactions with other celebrities
· Instagram provides a direct line into their literal world-view, like "seeing the world through their eyes"
· Tumblr is the most intimate glimpse into an artists' psyche/spirit. Jessica, 25, explains that it allows fans to get a authentic glimpse into an artist's creative inspiration and process… it "shows how artists express themselves, the aesthetic that makes them tick."
@MTVInsights will be speaking more about "zero-distancing" on February 20th at New York's Social Media Week. We'll start with a teen panel who will speak about their virtually-intimate relationships with celebs in social media, and then be joined by Viacom stars who will speak about their experience interacting with fans:
· Nev Schulman from MTV's "Catfish: The TV Show"
· Drita D'Avanzo from VH1's "Mob Wives"
· Cody Alan from CMT's "Hot 20 Countdown" and nightly syndicated radio show, "CMT Radio Live with Cody Alan"
· Ivy Winters from Logo's "RuPaul's Drag Race"
Sign up here! Event will take place at Viacom's headquarters in Times Square, 1515 Broadway.

Childish Gambino's Got Slashitude
- By Jillian Curran, MTV Insights
From the moment Donald Glover, aka Childish Gambino stepped on the Summer Stage at Central Park last Monday, he refused to be categorized. One minute hard-hitting rap, the next an old school R&B croon. "This is not a rap show, this is a black rock show!" he announced mid-show (over an accapella re-mix of Adele), only to reverse his verdict in the encore.
Actor/comedian/rapper, he exudes what we at MTV Research call slashitude…as in "I'm a DJ/executive assistant/food truck CEO." Even his name seems like an oxymoron wrapped inside an enigma.
One creative Millennial we interviewed in our study that coined "slashitude," Marat Shaya describes it, "When I'm asked what I do, I say exactly what I'm good at… I say that I'm a video editor, an event planner, a photographer…but the older generation always wants to know my title."
Another panelists Micah Spears says, "Now you can be anything…you don't have to go to college and get a diploma that says you did 'this thing' you can now create your own identity, and be 'these things'."
Childish Gambino personifies the generation in a fascinating way. He is at once consciously playing with who and what he is, and letting us in on the game…polymathing with the rules in a way that almost invents the genre in real time.
Q: What's the opposite of Nirvana?
Nick Shore, MTV Insights
Last night we took an @MTVinsights trip to see Fun. (as in "Tonight, We Are Young") play the final gig of their five month tour, on home turf at Terminal 5 in New York.
It occurred to me last night, I might well be watching the anti-Nirvana…a band that drives irrational exuberance, unity, sheer happiness into your bloodstream…the way Cobain and co. drove in angst, cynicism and a plea for the misunderstood and disenfranchised.
As someone charged with studying Millennial behaviors, motivations, insights & trends I have, of course, bandied about a lot of rhetoric about the generation using optimism, fun and unity as their way of pushing back on Gen X values. Of a generation bullishly refusing to go to the dark side, even in the face of, say, a trillion dollar pile of student debt.
But it wasn't until last night that I experienced the force of that outlook in full magisterial effect…of fun as a statement of generational intent.
Born of the fringe, but now living comfortably in the mainstream, without any hint or accusation of selling out, Fun. seem to say with every gesture, every anthemic lyric, every hand raised aloft in gleeful praise…celebrate! Everything is good. Life really is…fun. Even the period after their name (as in: Fun.) appears to offer it up as a definitive statement, end of story.
I resisted for a while, but the unbearable lightness of three thousand young voices in unison crashed against the X-er Berlin Wall around my post-Regan-omic soul until it melted away, and I was steamrolled into smiling.
And that, it seems to me, might just be how the soft machine of rebellion rolls, M-style…
An Ultra-Millennial Moment
- By Kassie Deng, MTV Insights
A couple of weeks ago, I made the holy pilgrimage to Miami for this year's Ultra Music Festival, along with about 165,000 other intimate strangers. I got a taste firsthand of what's driving EDM's insane rise in popularity with my generation (http://bit.ly/GBsXoY) and got some serious PLUR.
PLUR, maybe the mantra of the EDM community, stands for Peace, Love, Unity, and Respect. It may sound all Hippie, but was actually born in rave and Kandi culture (http://bit.ly/245nmE), and is a super intense vibe that typifies a Millennial craving for community + a fully immersive, togetherness experience. But it's not chaos and mosh; like our MTV Research visits to Zucotti during the height of OWS, we found orderly lines, organized activities, and fast friendships at Ultra. As Brian, 21, told me, "All differences fall away when the beat drops and everyone is dancing, smiling, and sharing in the same beautiful experience."
One thing that sets Ultra apart from other events is that it's an ultra-interactive/transparent/"full-contact" experience. Not only were we constantly interacting with strangers but we were also interacting with the DJs themselves. Instead of demanding to be the center of their performances, DJs demand the crowd to be part of it. This zero-distancing between crowd and performer is another key marker of Millennial culture.
Check out master of audience involvement Steve Aoki – notorious for spraying bottles of champagne and then crowd surfing on top of a pool floatie at his shows – here he is smashing a birthday cake into the face of one lucky girl: (http://bit.ly/H8Sw2H), many happy returns.
"Call Me Maybe", Justin Bieber, and the Increasingly Intimate Relationship between Fans and Artists
- Matt Cohen, MTV Insights
Having grown up using the same digital tools to interact with both friends and celebrities, Millennials have come to desire radically intimate relationships with their favorite stars. As a result, celebs are revealing more authentic versions of themselves online and treating their "fans" more as "friends"…
While traveling in Canada recently, Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez serendipitously discovered "Call Me Maybe" – the uber-catchy single by Canadian artist Carly Rae Jepsen. After recommending "Call Me Maybe" to their millions of Twitter followers (which promptly led to an explosion of the song's popularity), Justin and Selena decided to supercharge their endorsement by creating a YouTube video which would give the song an extra social-media boost. The video features Justin, Selena, and a few of their celebrity friends (including Ashley Tisdale of "High School Musical"-fame and the guys of Nickelodeon boy-band Big Time Rush) goofily dancing and lip-syncing to the single while decked out in sweats and sunglasses.
On the surface, the video looks like the byproduct of a few bored college students and a few too many shots of vodka. It looks like it cost absolutely nothing to produce and required nothing more than a friend with a MacBook. Yet, this video has nearly twice as many views as Jepsen's professionally-produced official music video for the single.
That's because the appeal of Justin and Selena's video lies in its accessible, human quality. The fact that this video looks like something you would make while hanging out with your friends actually increases its appeal because it offers fans just the kind of authentic and intimate insider-access that Millennials crave.
With this video Justin, Selena, and co. are showing us that they are just as goofy with their friends as we are. It's the digital equivalent of Us Weekly's "Stars – They're Just Like Us!" feature. The key difference, however, is that in this case, the insider glimpse is provided not by the paparazzi but by the celebrities themselves.
By sharing a private moment among friends, Justin and Selena are inviting us into their world — making us feel like we are another member of the party. (No doubt Justin and Selena are aware of the major points they earn with fans by sharing this type of intentionally-unpolished content.) In doing so, these young artists are forging a more intimate relationship with their audience by blurring the boundaries between "fan" and "friend".
Electronic music's millennial rise speaks volumes about the generation
- Britta Schell, MTV Insights
In recent ethnographic work with millennials nationally, I've heard more and more about electronic/dance music (EDM) – across all demos I've met with recently, every millennial was adding a little EDM into their playlists or daily routine. Time to take a closer look!
In a poll we ran a few weeks ago, 89% of millennial respondents agreed EDM is becoming more popular among millennials - and 62% of our respondents already listen to EDM.
So what is it about EDM that's so millennial?
EDM artists are all about access and transparency
Through social media, popular DJs like Skrillex, Steve Aoki and David Guetta offer fans personal access to them, their interactions with other artists, and their creative processes. Here (http://ow.ly/9KdHv), Kaskade powerfully mashes up fan-submitted media with news coverage and his own footage to honor a recent event for his community.
Participation is EDM's lingua franca
In all of our research, we hear millennials tell us resoundingly how important it is for their voice and ideas to be heard. EDM's vibrant, fast-paced world of remixing, commenting, events and video-making is an open invitation for millennial creativity.
…And remixing pushes the genre to be self-sustaining, innovative, fresh
Subdrive Records' (http://ow.ly/9KdLz) millennial founder, who describes his EDM-focused label as "completely open-source" summed up the innovation dynamic inherent to EDM: "If you buy [EDM artists'] music, you're invited to be a creator too. EDM is an environment that's open, constantly fresh, constantly regenerating." The fast-paced culture's openness and focus on cocreation jibes well with millennial predispositions.
Good times in a tough period for millennials
For a generation that faces close to 20% unemployment (http://ow.ly/9KdOn) in many areas of the US, music can be an important release: of the 62% of millennial respondents who told us they listen to EDM, 76% listen at a party, and 57% at a bar/club.
An active, inclusive community with values already common among millennials
A millennial fan recently told me that above all, EDM culture values the music (of course!), tolerance, acceptance, and individual expression. The community is active at both EDM IRL events such as Electric Daisy Carnival, as well as online: 90% of EDM fans in our poll interact with other fans regularly on Facebook, and 31% on Twitter.
EDM is definitely the genre to watch as millennials bring it to the mainstream in their own way. At MTV we've been really excited about EDM for a while: back in 2008 A-Trak DJ'd the Woodie Awards, followed by Diplo in 2009. This year, there's a whole new category (http://ow.ly/9KdQx) devoted to the genre. We love engaging with the thriving fanbase, too: @MTVClubland is part of an active community, and we'll also be at the Winter Music Conference The rise seems to be reflecting back in other parts of culture as well. Skrillex was recently snarked by Gawker (http://ow.ly/9KdV0) and mainstream events like Coachella and the Grammys are including a significant number of EDM acts.
We'll be following this growth closely, stay tuned for more…
All quantitative data points (excluding unemployment figure) are from February 2012 MTV Proprietary survey of 213 US respondents aged 15-24.
The Art of the Mumble
By Nick Shore, MTV Insights
Last week the Insights Innovation team at MTV went roaming the five boroughs for one of our regular M-Nights. We go "walkabout" from night spot to night spot seeing what's happening in youth culture, and if we can identify anything fresh and interesting that we should be feeding into the creative machinery back on the mothership.
Last week we caught some soundtrack-inspired improv comedy, a neo-retro-hipster bowling alley, and some up and coming bands…including Behold The Arctopus, who describe their sound in classic Millennial mash-up vocab as "fusing free-jazz, ambient soundscapes, and experimental math metal"
What stood out to us this particular M-Night was less what was happening within the performances, but what was happening in the spaces between them.
At every turn lead singers were taking time in the gap to mumble quasi-diary-esque anecdotes….very stream of consciousness, each monologue a micro-Ulysses.
One singer told us his tale of a forty-pound weight gain over the last year, another about an acid trip on a booze cruise and a fight with "music" (as in, fighting with the very concept of "music" itself…). Arctopus just sort of, well, had a conversation with their friends in the crowd while the rest of us listened.
It speaks (literally) to a Millennial syndrome one might call Zero Distancing….the total collapse of any sense of separation between artist and audience.
It's the linguistic equivalent of just getting out of bed at 7am and performing in your pajamas before you have even cleaned your teeth or looked in the mirror.
It's anti-polish. Nothing says I am letting you under my artistic kimono like a bit of public nonsensical rambling, of the type usually reserved for close friends, late night, half in the bag.
We couldn't help feeling that the artists on Thursday were in a way working their mumble, elevating it to art form, as potent a statement as the music in between.
The overall effect is a radical intimacy that's quite disarming. It's the kind of open-ness that Millennials unconsciously embody and celebrate….raised in family structures that "talked about anything and everything", with school councillors who encouraged everyone to express their truth and so on.
It also speaks to the kind of deep inner view into artists that M's increasingly demand. In a post reality tv, post Facebook world, when everyone can and probably will have their fifteen minutes of fame, the performers are heeding the audience call…."let me into your world, all the way in, deep enough so I can feel what it's like to be you, touch the 'ordinariness' of you, so I get a sense that it could be me up there…."

"This series deserves a permanent place in the children's fantasy pantheon, with Narnia and Earthsea." —Booklist
(starred review of Jinx's Magic)
In the Urwald, you don't step off the path. Trolls, werewolves, and
butter-churn riding witches lurk amid the clawing branches, eager to
swoop up the unwary. Jinx has always feared leaving the path -- then he
meets the wizard Simon Magus.
Jinx knows that wizards are evil. But Simon's kitchen is cozy, and he
seems cranky rather than wicked. Staying with him appears to be Jinx's
safest, and perhaps only, option. As Jinx's curiosity about magic
grows, he learns to listen to the trees as closely as he does to
Simon's unusual visitors.
The more Jinx discovers, the more determined
he becomes to explore beyond the security of well-trod paths. But in
the Urwald, a little healthy fear is never out of place, for magic -- and
magicians -- can be as dangerous as the forest, and soon Jinx must decide
which is the greater threat.
Jinx's Magic:
Jinx knows he can do magic. But he doesn't know why he's being stalked
by a werewolf with a notebook, why the trees are starting to take back
the only safe paths through the Urwald, or why the elves think Jinx
and the evil Bonemaster are somehow connected.
Jinx's perilous search for answers takes him to the desert land of
Samara, where, according to the wizard Simon, he just might find the
ancient magic he needs to defeat the Bonemaster and unite the Urwald.
But Jinx finds himself in a centuries-old conspiracy that places the
Urwald in even greater danger.
Charlotte Zolotow was the author of Mr. Rabbit and the Lovely Present and Do You Know What I'll Do? and William's Doll. And scores of other children's books. She was a children's editor at Harper & Row when I submitted my first manuscript there.
This was back in the early Pleistocene Epoch. In those days, there were no blogs telling you how to write queries and how to get an agent. There were, in fact, no blogs at all. There was only The Writer's Market, in which editors were mentioned by name, often alongside their real, actual phone numbers. (I know because I called one of them, and she answered. I couldn't figure out what to say to such an august personage, so I murmured something and hung up.)
I had written a short story called "The Day Forsythia Went To School." It was about a girl named Emily and her goat, Forsythia. It was, though I say it as shouldn't, pretty funny. I typed it up on a manual typewriter and made photocopies, laying the pages down one-by-one on the glass pane of a library Xerox machine roughly the size of a small kitchen. I prepared a SASE (it was so embarrassing asking for double postage at the post office) and sent it off to an editor whose name I recognized: Charlotte Zolotow at Harper & Row.
I mentioned in the cover letter that I was sixteen. In those gentle times, this wasn't regarded as a pitiful plea for special treatment. It was regarded as a perfectly reasonable request for special treatment. I imagine that most editors back then took care to write kind, encouraging rejections to young writers. Actually, I imagine that many still do that today.
Charlotte Zolotow did more than that. She took me seriously. She asked to see the rest of my novel.
Not having been prepared for such an eventuality, I hadn't actually written the rest of the novel.
So I took a few months and did that. In retrospect, I have to say the thing was not a novel. It was a type of children's book that was at that very moment becoming extinct: a series of humorous but only slightly-related episodes.
The manuscript came back months later, rejected, but covered with initialed notes from Ms. Zolotow and other Harper & Row staff. One of these notes said "Change to 3rd person, a la Charlotte's Web?" It was my impression at the time that this had been jotted by Ursula Nordstrom, the editor of that spider-based classic.
The rejection letter was long and detailed. It told me just what I needed to work on, and encouraged me to keep writing. I'm very glad that a couple years ago I had the chance to get in touch with Ms. Zolotow through her daughter and thank her, and tell her I had.
Charlotte Zolotow died today. I'm crying as I type this. I'm grateful that Charlotte Zolotow took the time to encourage young writers.
Let us go and do likewise.

The Peak Oil Crisis: Deep in the Heart of Texas
Posted Dec 13, 2012 by Tom Whipple
The Association for the Study of Peak Oil recently held its annual conference down in Austin, Texas. The venue for the meeting was right across the street from the University of Texas football stadium which is as close to the heart of Texas as you can get. This year the conference focused on two main themes: the rapid growth of tight oil production in the U.S. and where it is going; and the economics of oil (or, will prices continue to allow us to grow our economy?).

L.E.A.D. Celebrates Its Inaugural Student-Athlete Leadership Certificate Program
April 30, 2008
The academic and athletic communities came together Monday night at the Student Life Leadership Awards Dinner at Marillac Terrace. The Department of Athletics Student Development for Athletes unit culminated its first Student-Athlete Leadership Program, honoring many first-year athletes for their commitment to leadership training.
On hand to congratulate the student-athletes was Director of Athletics Chris Monasch, Director of Academic Support for Athletes Eric Reinecker, Associate Director, Leadership and Special Events Lucy Pesce, and several coaches and administrators.
Modeled after a similar University-wide program L.E.A.D (Leadership, Education, and Development), Student Development for Athletes collaborated with the Department of Student Life to begin a series of workshops and seminars geared towards the "Win, Graduate, Serve" motto. The workshops focused on leadership in the areas of academic achievement, personal development, community service and career development.
Students-athletes participated in weekly training sessions and many service activities in the Fall and Spring semesters. These student-athletes are now certified in the first track of the L.E.A.D. program.
During the dinner, two female student-athletes were also inducted into the Omicron Delta Kappa National Leadership Honor Society, a prestigious honor society at St. John's University. Softball junior Melissa Pilley and junior fencer Joanna Guy were recognized for their achievements in scholarship, athletics and a variety of other activities. Any student is invited to apply for the honor society and focus is placed on the development of the whole person.
Student Development for Athletes will look to continue the successes of the Student-Athlete Leadership program next fall and develop a second track in leadership training for student-athletes.

The Michigan Department of Agriculture and Rural Development (MDARD) is offering tips to prepare a safe and delicious holiday meal.
The following recommendations are from MDARD.
Purchase your turkey early, allowing time for it to thaw. Poultry should be thawed in the refrigerator in its original wrapper. Place a tray underneath the turkey to catch any juices that may leak from the package which would then cross-contaminate already cooked foods. Allow 24 hours of thawing time for every four to five pounds of frozen turkey; keep in mind that fresh or fully thawed poultry should be kept in the refrigerator for no more than two days before cooking.
If you've forgotten to thaw your turkey or are unable to purchase one until the last minute, you can use the cold water method to thaw it. Submerge your turkey in a container with enough cold water to cover the bird, changing the water every 30 minutes. Calculate 30 minutes per pound for thawing time. As a last resort, you can cook a frozen turkey, but it will require 50 percent additional cooking time and should not be filled with stuffing.
Place your uncooked turkey in an oven preheated to 325°F or higher.
"Using a food thermometer and checking the temperature in several areas of the bird is the best way to ensure your turkey has reached a minimum internal temperature of 165°F," said Kevin Besey, MDARD Food and Dairy Division Director. "The thermometer should be placed in the innermost part of the thigh and wing, the thickest part of the breast, and inside the stuffing."
Additionally, food safety precautions should be taken when preparing the stuffing for your meal. Prepare stuffing just before cooking, no matter what variation your family prefers. Both dry and wet ingredients can be prepared separately ahead of time and chilled, but do not mix until cooking time. Prepare a stuffing that includes some moisture, because heat can destroy bacteria more rapidly in a moist environment than in a dry stuffing.
Baking stuffing outside the turkey is the safest method and the mixture can be prepared in advance as long as it is frozen or baked immediately. Do not stuff poultry with frozen or pre-cooked stuffing.
Remember to quickly chill food after dinner is served to reduce the risk of foodborne illness. For additional holiday food safety tips, visit www.foodsafety.gov.

At the same time, I would have done far more BTL spec buying with tiny/no deposit if there were no recourse.
Rebuilding a credit history is child's play, but no-money-down housing bubbles come along only once every two decades or so.
Perhaps the US is worse off for volatility in house prices purely owing to non-recourse states.
Right now though – PLAY BY THE RULES AND WALK AWAY.

Reader Comments (Page 1 of 1)
I had a theory on this, why don't they just add something to keep the 'waiting' players busy, such as a battleground.
The battlegrounds are on a seperate server, so why not queue the last logged on character into a battleground so the person can do something while they wait to get into their server.
They could also, as a friend suggested, have a server-wide chat area where horde & alliance could communicate. This would allow for some interesting conversation before entering your server, and it would help pass the time.
I think a server split would open up a whole can of worms. I play on my server with 10 irl friends and we're all in separate guilds, I would hate for us to get separated because of some technicallity.

Eau Claire (WQOW) - A vote in Eau Claire Thursday night may buy more time for those who want to preserve South Barstow, but it doesn't appear to be a long term roadblock for Confluence Project developers.
The Landmarks Commission voted 5-2 in favor of designating 6 South Barstow a local landmark. That building is the old Kline Department Store and it's one developers want to raze to make room for the $80 million Confluence Project. Before the vote, there was a public hearing and citizens weighed in. Most were in support of the project, but also wanted the building saved. "We had a beautiful opera house. We now have a plaque. We had a beautiful railroad depot. We now have a plaque. We don't really need any more plaques in Eau Claire," said one resident. Another citizen said, "Without cooperation, I don't see how, what you do today, will stand."
A member of the Landmarks Commission said he believes the local landmark designation does not protect the building from being torn down. It just buys more time for supporters to try to negotiate a compromise. For example, the commission member said the owner of 6 South Barstow may now have to appeal the decision, which could go to the city council.

Facebook COO Sheryl Sandberg, her family, and a few other FB execs, were originally supposed to be on the Asiana Airlines flight that crash landed into San Francisco International Airport Saturday morning. Sandberg wrote on her Facebook page (obviously): "My family, colleagues Debbie Frost, Charlton Gholson and Kelly Hoffman and I were originally going to take the Asiana flight that just crash-landed. We switched to United so we could use miles for my family's tickets. Our flight was scheduled to come in at the same time, but we were early and landed about 20 minutes before the crash."
Talk about luck. Or, perhaps, intuition?
When horrible stories like the San Francisco plane crash happen we often hear of one or two people who were supposed to be on the flight/bus/train, but at the last minute, decided to make a change of plans. Maybe it's simply sheer coincidence, or maybe, like I said, it's intuition. Sandberg claims that she switched flights so her family could use airline miles, but the fact that Sheryl -- a billionaire -- decided at the last minute to change her plans in order to save money is a little strange.
Glad to hear that Sandberg and her family and colleagues are okay. Thoughts and prayers to those who were injured on the flight, and to the loved ones of those who passed away. An absolute tragedy.
Has your intuition ever helped you avoid a bad situation?

Final Destination IX: Women's Intuition
Honestly, when I first heard about her update saying she was supposed to be on the plane, my first thought was "Wow, way to make this tragedy all about you." Sorry, I just don't like this woman.
I understand it must be difficult sometimes to find enough interesting new content to continually entice people to your site, but REALLY? This merited a whole ARTICLE??
I'm with Andrea--there was NO need for this chick to release this insipid, ingenuous and self-indulgent press statement. It's right in keeping with the "Look at MEEE! I'm DOING stuff!" genre of Facebook., only this is about something she ALMOST did?? Dumb, dumb, dumb. Ha, "intuition", my fanny!
So WHY do we need to know this or care? I guess she wants some attention or something!

I love nachos. Always have, even as a kid. Not that weird nachos variation with tortilla chips with melted cheese on top, or canned, mushy refried beans on top of soggy corn chips - blah - but real nachos, with a big hearty bowl of chill meat, a salsa and guacamole topping my chips.
It was, in all honesty, heart-breaking when I was diagnosed as coeliac and tortilla chips for my precious nachos were declared off-limits.
On Paleo or Primal, we are often accused of being too "restrictive" when it comes to food. No grains, legumes or (in the case of Paleo) dairy. Well, I disagree completely.
I personally believe that we can still enjoy "junk" food in a Primal/Paleo way because - hell, why not? ;) Thus, I constructed the basics of this recipe so coeliacs, Paleo and Primal people can still enjoy a good plea of something that reminisces what they used to eat, all the while being made up of entirely whole foods. Stuff that even your non-Paleo friends and family can enjoy.
This is the base recipe for what I lovingly call "Paleo Nachos". Hope those try it love it as much as I do.
For the chilli:
-Mincemeat of some kind (beef/chicken/lamb/pork/etc)
-Bacon strips (at least 2)
-Canned - or whole, mashed - tomatoes.
-Assorted vegetables (mushrooms/carrots/broccoli/nori/cauliflower/capsicum/etc)
-Assorted spices (Cumin/Paprika/Garlic-Pepper/Tumeric/Etc)
-Onion, diced (OPTIONAL - I like onion in my chill, though not everyone might)
For the crisps.
-Potato of preference (I find sweet potato is crispiest - white potatoes are better as fries)
1) Slice bacon strips (at least two into smaller pieces, then lay them out in a pan on top of a heated stove to fry.
2) Whilst your bacon is frying, slice your potatoes into very thin crisps and lay them out on a baking tray. Garnish with seasonings of choice (For me, salt and garlic pepper) and place in the oven at 180 degrees Celsius or 350 Farenheit for around 15-20 minutes.
IMPORTANT: Keep an eye on these chips throughout the entire cooking process; you don't want them to burn, else they taste horrible.
3) Now a good bit of bacon grease is coating the pan, toss your mince meat inside.
Stir it, break it apart and mush it around. Your making chill mince, not burgers.
4) Once a good deal of the meat is browned, you'll want to add your diced up onions, if you have them.
Now pour in your canned (or home-mashed) tomatoes. Stir the mixture and allow the meat to soak up all of the tomato juices. Due to the added liquid, the mixture will be cooking a lot slower, now. Leave it to simmer for a bit.
this is the optimum time to add your spices. My absolute favorites are ground cumin, paprika and turmeric, but really - add whatever you fancy.
5) While the chill mixture is simmering, slice your assorted veggies up - broccoli, carrots, mushroom and capsicum work brilliantly. Hell, I even like to toss in a few crushed nori-wraps into the mix, but that just because I'm weird and eat nori wraps with everything.
Remember - these veggies are adding bulk to the meal. They are, of course, totally optional, but they're a great way to get in your daily vitamins and nutrients and whatnot easily.
6) Once sliced, add all of your veggies to the mince. Mix it in nicely to get a good meat/veggie balance - or else a serving or two will be all vegetable with just that cruel, haunting taste of mince and bacon, and nobody wants that.
Also, stirring it altogether helps get the flavor of spice and meat all throughout the mix. That's a good thing.
7) GAH! The chips!
Please tell me you've been keeping an eye on the chips? When they look done - a bit brown, nice and crispy lookin' (don't be afraid to taste one ;) ), take them out of the oven.
Remember to be careful not to burn yourself.
Dish the chips out into portions onto plates depending on how many people your feeding. Or, if you're like me (a greedy prick who practices IF), eat ALL THE CHIPS!
8) Now that chips are ready and your mix is no doubt done. Dish the chill up into portions for how many people your serving... or eat it all. Whatever works.
Any leftovers can be put in a tupperware for later.
I might need a bigger tupperware...
9)Now what you need to do is pretty simple. Put the chill mix on top of the chips.
Chilli + Chips
And there you have it! Eat as is, or...
10) The toppings.
Guacamole. Salsa. (If you eat dairy-->) Cheese. Sour cream or greek Yoghurt.
Need I say more?
Thank you for taking the time for reading this! I hope that my instructions are followable; should anyone have any questions, feel free to ask. I'm happy to help.
I enjoyed doing this, just for giggles - to help recreate an old food love in a Paleo/Primal way. If there's any other kind of "junk food" anyone would like me to attempt to Primalise, let me know, and I'll do my best.
If you do whip up a batch of Paleo nachos, let me know how it goes - post a pic, yeah? i'd love to see if this turns out well for others.
Enjoy :)

Thank so much for sharing this! I am a nacho lover big time. I'm still having the toppings occasionally but put it on shredded lettuce instead. Better than nothing.
I like the idea of the sweet potatoes. I'm not ready to do that yet, but once I have all my health issues fully resolved, I am going to try it!
I really enjoyed your pictures/description/instructions. I intermittent fast too, so I'm just as likely to eat something like that for one meal too! That would be heaven!

Nachos truly is the most heavenly food there is. :P Nachos + IF = heaven, have to say. BTW, while I'm not sure why exactly you can't have sweet potatoes, it is possible to create chips from zucchini - just bake them the way I showed in the recipe, except prior to putting them in the oven, dip them in egg-whites to give it some crisp.
Also, as an added benefit I've found...
I am glad this got bumped. Great read and you do a excellent job on the write ups of your kitchen adventures!!
Cheers, seriously everyone, I hope the recipe works out for you and you like it. But I'd also like to post a little update, albeit an obvious one.
So, I found myself cooking for some of my new Uni pals the other day - rough call, being coeliac, Primal and, well, weird, so my dish was... nachos. Of course. I had a problem though.
I had no meat on hand.
To anyone who's gone through University, college or just on a low budget, you probably know what it's like when it comes to buying decent meat and protein sources - damn, freaking hard. Unless, of course, you want to buy offal. Which is, btw, RIDICULOUSLY cheap and quite nutritious:
^That amount of offal - along with mixed in veggies - once diced up into small cubes and cooked via the recipe, came out at four servings, each this size:
And when I say "four servings", I mean "four servings if you eat all your calories in one go and are a gluttonous pig" - so basically, for under ten bucks you get an ENORMOUS amount of food.
But budget wise aside, how does this relate to the story of serving my Uni friends? Well, it was cheap meat, and uh... well, I served them organs.
They did not notice.
Yep. Didn't notice a damn thing. Had no idea the beef they were eating was actually heart and lamb liver. Does that make me a bad person? I'd like to say: no, because really, everything about this can be extremely nutritious.
TL;DR: What I'm getting at here is that nachos - or just ground chill meat as "tacos", "burgers" or whatever is an AMAZING way to get started on eating organ meats, which are extremely nutritious, and to those who count calories, a leaner source of protein than chicken - I kid you not - and you can't even tell it's organ meat.
It's also a great way to get in your vitamins and stuff from all the veggies you can effortlessly toss into the mix, and is pretty to store.
I dunno exactly why I'm posting this update thing. I guess it's just because - what, with my busy new schedule - it's been a lot harder to prep food and hit my macros and micros, and I'm finding just cooking up a massive batch of chill a couple times of week is cheap, convenient and nutritious.
Anyway. That's my piece said here.

I've had the kind of first week back in which at any given point twelve different things are happening simultaneously and you say yes to (almost) everything and you see lots of people and do lots of great stuff and then suddenly it's Sunday and you're a little bit hungover and definitely haven't showered and you have two novels to read and only about twelve hours in which to do so.
So, after a Semester 2, Week 1 that is almost certainly showing on my face, I'm actually really excited to sit up against the window with my back to St Andrews, and let the little bit of weak sunlight we've been offered illuminate Joseph Conrad's The Secret Agent for the next few hours.
Let's go.

Sweet Cabbage Brisket with Thyme Roasted Potatoes
February 6th 2013By Jamie Geller
One of my most beloved Passover recipes is the Un-Stuffed Cabbage Soup from my first book, Quick & Kosher Recipes From The Bride Who Knew Nothing (that's me!). This is an entrée inspired by the family, friend, and neighborhood favorite.
Roasted Apple Brisket

Since the custom of eating apples revives our memory of Biblical blessings, let's combine it with a more recent, beloved tradition. Nu, what's a Yuntif without brisket?
Pesach Recipes that Were Winners
May 2nd 2011By Jamie Geller
I usually tell the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth, and this time I did not disappoint. I stayed true to my promise and 99% of what I made for the 8-day kitchen yuntif known as Passover were not actually Pesach recipes. Of course they were K for P, but they didn't require any major Passoverish ingredient tweaks. These recipes were developed with Pesach in mind and they were featured in the Pesach issue of my new magazine, Joy of Kosher with Jamie Geller.

Gold's Duck-Mango-Barbecue-Sauce
July 29th 2013By Ronnie Fein
One of my family's favorites is Barbecued Brisket with Duck-Mango-Barbecue-Sauce. I slow-cook the meat in the oven two days before, remove any fat and save the pan juices for other recipes. Then all I have to do is heat the brisket on the grill and keep slathering on sauce on until the meat is hot, glazed and crispy. It tastes terrific from the oven too (425 degrees) as I found out recently on a rainy Sunday.
Glazed Brisket Slab with Red Cabbage Relish
March 13th 2013By Sharon Lurie
One of my favourites has to be this brisket dish. If you have a mouth for a delicious piece of deli-style brisket, then you have to try this recipe. And, if you haven't then I promise you'll have one, once you've finished making this recipe. Over Pesach I enjoy serving it with mashed potatoes and roasted butternut.

Brisket with Barbecue Sauce
March 24th 2014By Ronnie Fein
The key to a flavorful and moist brisket is to cook it at very low temperatures for a very long time. I set it up just before I go to sleep in a 225 degree oven. The most delicious and fragrant alarm clock in the world – braised brisket perfume – wakes me up in the morning. This works for smaller cuts too but decrease the time of course.
Brisket in Wine Sauce

Brisket Chili Con Carne
August 29th 2013By Ronnie Fein
This is a hearty dish, perfect on a chilly autumn day, and I felt really clever and thrifty because not only did I use the leftover brisket, but also the leftover pan juices (instead of canned broth) and leftover onions from cooking the brisket (so I didn't have to sauté onions first

"Overnight" BBQ Beef Brisket
February 25th 2014By Jamie Geller
This brisket must be made at least the night before for soft, tender, melt-in-your-mouth meat. Better yet, make it easy on yourself and make it now - freeze it for fabulous fall-apart brisket.

Gerard Bertrand Gris Blanc Rose 2011
Gerard Bertrand - Languedoc Roussillon - France - Coteaux Du Languedoc
The year 2011 was an interesting year for many northern and central European countries, as the weather was more than unpredictable in the spring and summer. However, in most countries, the climatic conditions thankfully settled down in the late summer and fall. The result of this slightly difficult year of weather in France was a set of surprisingly small yields, but overall, these yields were of a higher quality than those harvested in certain previous years. A fantastic set of wines was also made in Italy and Spain, and the Rioja wines - when released - are set to be very good indeed. Austria also had superb year in 2011, with almost fifty percent more grapes being grown and used for their distinctive Gruner Veltliner wines than in the year before. Possibly the European country which had the finest 2011, though, was Portugal, with wineries in the Douro region claiming this year to be one of the best in decades for the production of Port wine, and the bright, young Vinho Verdes wines. In the New World, the Pacific Northwest saw some of the best weather of 2011, and Washington State and Oregon reportedly had a highly successful year, especially for the cultivation of high quality red wine grapes. Chile and Argentina had a relatively cool year, which certainly helped retain the character of many of their key grape varietals, and should make for some exciting drinking. South Africa had especially good weather for their white wine grape varietals, particularly Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc, and many South African wineries are reporting 2011 as one of their best years in recent memory.
Languedoc Roussillon is a fascinating region of France for wine, culture and history. Having over 700,000 acres under vine, Languedoc Roussillon is the single biggest wine region on earth, providing the world with millions of bottles of wine each year. Indeed, the annual output of Languedoc Roussillon alone is larger than that of the United States, and despite the vast quantity of wine it producer, wineries in Languedoc Roussillon have never lost sight of the fact they are dedicated to quality first and foremost. The climate of the region is one of the most ideal on earth for viticulture, with months of blazing sunshine tempered by cooling breezes and plenty of moisture, resulting in wonderfully ripened grapes packed full of fascinating flavors and characteristics.
France is renowned across the globe for its quality wines and the careful expertise which goes into making them, but what is truly remarkable about this relatively small country is the vast range of wines it produces in such huge amounts each year. Not only are the finest red wines in the world said to come from the beautiful regions of Bordeaux and Burgundy, but elsewhere in the country we find the Champagne region, and areas such as the Rhone Valley and the Loire, whose white wines consistently receive awards and accolades by the plenty. This range is a result of the great variety of climatic conditions and terrain found in France, coupled with generations of wine makers working within single appellations. Their knowledge of specific terroirs and grape varieties has, over time, perfected the production of wines within their region, and the end results continue to impress the world to this day.

WATERLOO, Iowa — Nearly $5,000 was stolen from a car at a carwash, and has led to a wash worker being arrested, according to the WCF Courier.
Derrick Ware is alleged to have not only cleaned the Subaru of a customer, but to have stolen from it, on Jan. 27.
The money was under the floor mat, which is believed to be where Ware uncovered with it while vacuuming. Court records state he took the money and placed it in a garbage bin, later retrieving the money while emptying the garbage.
Ware was arrested for second-degree assault.

Frederick Allen examines how German auto companies compete (profitably, mind you) without driving down the price of labor:
There are "two overlapping sets of institutions" in Germany that guarantee high wages and good working conditions for autoworkers. The first is IG Metall, the country's equivalent of the United Automobile Workers. Virtually all Germany's car workers are members, and though they have the right to strike, they "hardly use it, because there is an elaborate system of conflict resolution that regularly is used to come to some sort of compromise that is acceptable to all parties," according to Horst Mund, an IG Metall executive. The second institution is the German constitution, which allows for "works councils" in every factory, where management and employees work together on matters like shop floor conditions and work life. Mund says this guarantees cooperation, "where you don't always wear your management pin or your union pin."
Yet, as Allen explains, German transplant factories in America do not bring this business culture with them. Why is that?
The article's author, Kevin C. Brown, asked Claude Barfield, a scholar with the American Enterprise Institute, why the German car companies behave so differently in the U.S. He answered, "Because they can get away with it so far."
Top 1% of taxpayers receive more income than entire bottom half combined
From the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities:
Tax policy should lean against the rising tide of income inequality, not exacerbate it. During the first three decades after World War II, economic growth was robust and widely shared: economy-wide productivity improvements were accompanied by significant increases in the living standards of most Americans. In recent decades, by contrast, the benefits of economic growth have not been widely shared. CBO data show that between 1979 and 2007, the average after-tax income of the top 1 percent of Americans grew by 281 percent, after adjusting for inflation, compared to just 25 percent for the middle 20 percent of Americans, and 16 percent for the poorest fifth of the population.[13]
The tax cuts enacted in 2001 and 2003 provided the largest benefit to the highest-income households and widened these yawning income disparities. Under these tax cuts, households with incomes over $1 million stand to receive an average tax cut of $130,000 in 2012, according to the Tax Policy Center, equivalent to an increase of 6.3 percent in their after-tax income. Meanwhile, households in the middle of the income spectrum will receive tax cuts that equal 2.3 percent of their income. Households in the bottom quintile will receive an average increase in income of less than 1 percent. [14] (See Figure 3.)
Summary: after tax incomes from Bush's tax cuts:
- Households > $1 million: increase of 6.3%
- Households in middle income: increase of 2.3%
- Households in bottom quintile: increase of < 1%
The GOP has been actively engaged in bottom-to-top income redistribution. And because of God, guns, and gays, the fundamentalist teabaggers will vote for it — despite their own precarious financial situation.

'Member this the next time someone complains about the poor paying no income taxes: they have so little income to pay from that it only makes sense.
i've gotten a refund every year because i make so little and have school to pay for. this year should be interesting since i've made a little bit more and am out of school. but overall, throw me in the bottom.
The study focused on people who were middle-class teenagers in 1979 and who were between 39 and 44 years old in 2004 and 2006. It defines people as middle-class if they fall between the 30th and 70th percentiles in income distribution, which for a family of four is between $32,900 and $64,000 a year in 2010 dollars.
People were deemed downwardly mobile if they fell below the 30th percentile in income, if their income rank was 20 or more percentiles below their parents' rank, or if they earn at least 20 percent less than their parents. The findings do not cover the difficult times that the nation has endured since 2007.
So, before the credit crunch, before the housing bubble broke, before the banks began to steal people's houses with fraudulent paperwork and the government reneged on it's guarantees to provide social services, 1/3 of Americans who grew up in middle class families are now impoverished.
What would our demographics look like today? How many citizens have been forced into poverty by the deliberate theft of wealth from the middle class?
This is interesting. Libertarian economist Phil Horwitz has a rhetorically powerful video in which he demonstrates that income mobility is extremely high in America for people who begin their lives in the bottom 20%. However, this study is a very strong counter-point to that video, suggesting that people are falling out of the Middle Class as quickly as they fall into it.

group self-directed learning
Community Description:
We are working toward founding a cohousing community in a multi-unit building in San Francisco, with the vision of adding adjoining properties later. (For the story of five families that purchased three adjacent duplexes together in Oakland and later used easements to add two adjacent houses, see cohousing.org/cm/article/temescal. And see nstreetcohousing.org for neighbors in Davis who gradually took down the backyard fences between 17 homes.)
We intend the backyard and most of the ground-floor indoor space to be used as common area for all the members of this cohousing community, and we intend much of the common area to be used for self-directed learning by the residents and their guests, including adults and children of all ages. (Some of us are working on forming a co-op for self-directed learners, which will utilize our common area as well as other places in and around the city.)
The common area will have many opportunities for children to observe nature; interact with older and younger children and adults; run, climb, and jump; experiment with materials and processes; garden, cook, build, repair, and sew; dance and make music and artworks; play games; and, through it all, learn valuable life skills.
The learning center will probably start out as a backyard with gardens and play equipment; a large ground-floor playroom with educational materials; and a small workroom with tools. As the community adds adjoining properties, the learning center will grow and have more-specialized rooms, such as an arts and crafts room, a carpentry workshop, a chemistry lab, a music practice room, and a teenager hang-out room, depending on the interests of the children and the adults.
The Backyard Neighborhood could also be the seed of an urban ecovillage: a model of sustainable city living, with passive solar heating and cooling; rainwater catchment; greywater filtration; some energy production from biomass; small, quiet windmills and solar panels on rooftops; and a high degree of onsite food production.
More details are available at our website: sfbnlc.wordpress.com.
We are keeping a list of people who might want to participate in the community, as residents and/or as members of a co-op for self-directed learners.
