Flickr Find: Wild Rice Soup
January is National Soup Month, and this bowl of wild rice soup looks like a great way to celebrate. The photographer and cook says that it's based on a legendary wild rice soup from a resort in Minnesota. It looks like it's creamy, filling, and warming.
We often find that rice soup in restaurants is pasty and goopy, and we've always wanted to try making it at home instead. Have you ever made wild rice soup at home?
The full recipe is under the photo posting at Flickr.
5 Comments
I found a delicious Creamy Chicken and Whild Rice Soup Recipe at allrecipes.com. My family loves this soup! I serve with homemade bread - delicious! Thanks to Stephanie G. for the recipe.
Creamy Chicken and Wild Rice Soup
4 cups chicken broth
2 cups water
2 cooked, boneless chicken breast halves, shredded
1 (4.5 ounce) package quick cooking long grain and wild rice with seasoning packet
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
3/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup butter
2 cups heavy cream
In a large pot over medium heat, combine broth, water and chicken. Bring just to boiling, then stir in rice, reserving seasoning packet. Cover and remove from heat.
In a small bowl, combine salt, pepper and flour. In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt butter. Stir in contents of seasoning packet until mixture is bubbly. Reduce heat to low, then stir in flour mixture by tablespoons, to form a roux. Whisk in cream, a little at a time, until fully incorporated and smooth. Cook until thickened, 5 minutes.
Stir cream mixture into broth and rice. Cook over medium heat until heated through, 10 to 15 minutes.
Stacey's note: I saute a few chopped carrots with some onion and garlic in 1 tbsp butter until soft and add to the soup. I also throw in about a cup of frozen peas. I use less butter (6 tbsp) and substitute skim milk for the heavy cream.
Beautiful photograph.
This soup is great all year round.
I don't put any cream in mine, just some roux which gives it a creamy consistency.
I like to put fresh spinach or kale leaves in when the soup is finished cooking.
For best results, cook the whole chicken in the soup pot first with vegetables and herbs to create your broth and to cook the chicken for the soup.
i use the same recipe as stacey, above, and we LOVE it. super easy, delicious, lots of leftovers.
I love the wild rice soup recipe from Heidi Swanson's book Super Natural Cooking! She uses coconut milk and red curry paste to cook the rice in, and tops each bowl with cubes of butternut squash. The flavors just meld so well together.
I have another recipe from a northern Minnesota restaurant that I turn to every time I make wild rice soup which has quickly become a staple. The recipe is from the Chocolate Moose in Ely, MN and is absolute heaven and also doesn't call for scary things like Velveeta. You can find the recipe at http://www.razzledazzlerecipes.com/eatingout/eating_t/thechoc.htm
The only thing I do to make it better is to use cracked wild rice if I can find it, or if I only have whole rice (which is admittedly better even if it requires an extra step) I cook it half way on the stove in a separate pot and then toss it in to the mix when the recipe calls for it, otherwise it seems that the cooking time doesn't quiiiiiiiiite let the rice curl up. Adding a few toasted slivered almonds on top of any wild rice soup is also to die for, another trick from MN, this time taken from the (at least locally) famous wild rice soup at Byerly's.

Post with 33 notes
Worldbuilding Wednesday, eh? I enjoy a spot of universe creation. Let's make a game out of it!
The rules: I'll make a form for you to fill out and put in my Ask. In each field, enter a word or phrase, and my task is to take that word or phrase and spin it into a paragraph about the world in question. The field:
The Genre:
The Science:
The Wonder:
The Big:
The Small:
The Good:
The Bad:
The Twist:
And definitions:
The Genre: (Fairly obvious)
The Science: (A word related to how science—or magic—work in the setting, and what level of tech/magic use we're talking about here, since even space opera can be made to work with medieval technology)
The Wonder: (A word relating to some spectacular, stand-out feature of the setting)
The Big: (A word related to a major plot point that everyone would know about)
The Small: (A word related to a minor setting detail that adds fluff to the world)
The Good: (A word related to what the protagonists look like)
The Bad: (A word related to what the antagonists look like)
The Twist: (A word related to how things in the setting aren't what they seem—the crux on which the assumed conflict in a story set here would turn)
Hopefully, this isn't too complicated. Have at ye!
Let's do this againnnn, followers~ (The two prompts in my ask from last week are gonna be uploaded later today too,...
guys this sounds REALLY COOL i want to do it!
I'm not totally done with last week's tally, but screw it, let's do it again! Have at ye!
I will always do this. I will do this for characters too. Day or time is immaterial, it is always time for this.
Do this please? c: I'll probably spend a little time on each one I get, then post them all when Wednesday rolls around...
ooooh i want to do thissssss. i am lots less ornery than icy, i'll do any world from the list if you care to specify! if...
Yes please. All over the place.

This is very cool. I like this. Feel free to send me these things
Oh wow, this is cool.
JOW YOU ARE A+ HAVE AT ME BROS (I Will Work On These When I Get Home If I Get Any)

Curb Your Need To Collect By Selling on Craigslist
For the last 4 years we've been obsessed. With a house once filled, literally to the ceiling, with midcentury furnishings the time came to clear things out. Afterward, although we loved having actual space in our home, it didn't stop us from wanting to keep on collecting. Now we curb instead of cultivate our collecting desires with Craigslist and it's oh so simple!
We collect and then pass on the goods on Craigslist. At first, the whole idea of shopping for other people seems difficult. What do they like? Where will it go in their home? It's easy to get overwhelmed. Instead of thinking you have to have actual clients, shop instead for pieces you love, those which you'd fight for at auction and then simply list them on Criagslist.
To start, you'll want to create an actual log on and user id for Craigslist. Instead of making a new posting each time, it will allow you the ability to relist things or save html coding to copy and paste for your next listing. Make sure all your items are clean and as like-new as possible and take great photos. Then you just list them for others to find.
Soon you'll have a client base that follows you. Make sure to add something at the bottom of each post (a tag) so they'll be able to locate your goods without searching through the masses of other items up for grabs. Style each post the same so they have similar appearances... just remember to skip writing in all caps!
Now we shop with freedom without worry of where it will go. We rotate great pieces in and out of our own home, while passing on other great finds to other local folks who might not have the same time to bargain hunt that we do. And by bargain hunt, we mean the obsessive need to comb thrift stores, antique malls, auctions and garage sales for undiscovered treasures!
Is there anyone in your area that you "watch" on Craigslist? Found great deals from the same person more than once? Share your story in the comments below!

I am dying to find a gently used, authentic Eames lounge in black on CL!
I am also about to sell some dressers and chairs, so I appreciate your tips.
Another tip: On craiglist, IKEA is a magic word. List anything from IKEA, and *poof*, it will be gone in like one day. So if you are selling stuff from IKEA, there will probably be a decent demand for it, so price accordingly.
Another good tip is to ask for specific info when people respond, as in: please let me know your phone #, what day/time you can pick it up, etc..
ghunt's IKEA tip may be location specific - Toronto has 3 stores and so much IKEA available on CL that it doesn't always move very fast.
Sarah -- wow, what a great idea. So what is your tag line? How can I find you on CL?
outonalimb_09: I don't sell in the Chicago area... sorry!
ghunt: It is a good tip, but be careful of driving away customers with the same tip that might be annoyed that you wasted their time and tagged your post with words that it didn't have anything to do with. Unless you make it funny and then folks are usually pretty understanding.
I meant that, in my experience in Boston, anything from IKEA gets alot of interest on CL. I didn't mean that you should throw the word IKEA into your posts, that would be allowing.
Thanks ghunt! I misread before. Anything listed here from IKEA goes fast as well as the closest one is 6 hours away!
@PureDaisy Agreed. Though I think it's partly because people try to sell used IKEA at nearly retail price - not a great incentive to buy.
Tricks to selling on craigslist:
1. Start a chain of communication with the party interested in your item. Suss out their intent, even google their name, email, phone number to see if they have any *issues* lurking about on the web.
2. Set up an appointment, saying that "we'll be home______". If you're going to be alone, make the house appear to have more people in it: turn up the TV in another room, or switch on some music and say that your son/husband/brother seem to hard of hearing, etc...
Installing key words in your ad ALWAYS works: Modern, mid century modern, Danish modern, a named designer, etc. Even if you say your piece would "work well in Danish Modern interiors", or, "would compliment XYZ designs nicely". For some reason, I find that "teak" and "Danish Modern" draws the most inquiries, with most of them being mature adults.
Finally: sell it as cheap as you can since cl tends to draw bargain hunters. Avoid "tire kickers" (people who want to come over to look at something), stand firm on your price, and only take cash.
Even here in DC (with two stores in the area), things still go pretty fast if they are IKEA. The only problem is that IKEA goods depreciate really quickly. Even if you have them for only a few months and in excellent condition you are lucky to get 50% for them.
I have sold dozens of items on CL and the one basic thing I've learned is always look out for yourself and don't take anyone else's crap. I know it seems sort of harsh, but CL is like the wild west - people will never come by when they say they do, they will give you ridiculous low ball offers, or they will try to scam you. I require everyone who emails me to provide their name, contact info and a time to meet or else I will not respond to their emails. If they don't show up or call to let me know they are late, I just go to the next buyer on my list. This way I usually sell my stuff a few days after I list it.
You just have to go into it with Gordon Gecko mentality :-P If you don't, you will just waste a lot of time.
I am definitely big about giving things away. Selling on Craigslist is a hassle sometimes, maybe from the karma of me giving other sellers the same kind of hassle.
my wife has done the same thing with her etsy shop, modapple.
we're garage-sale, estate-sale and thrift store-a-holics yet are very minimal in what we keep... however, when we see a (insert cool vintage thing here that someone might otherwise buy and not respect the provenance of*), we pick it up and put it in her shop...
it's great, too, because -- since it's not a primary source of income -- prices aren't much higher than what we picked the item up for (and less that you'd find on ebay, craigslist or a vintage shop).
(*there's plenty of ikea and target crap out there for folks to buy and use (and destroy)... used motor oil really doesn't belong in a vintage pyrex pitcher, does it?)

GREEN BAY, Wis. (AP) - Green Bay Packers coach Mike McCarthy said Scott Tolzien will remain the starting quarterback as Aaron Rodgers continues to recover from a broken collarbone.
McCarthy said Monday that Tolzien will start Sunday's game against the Minnesota Vikings at Lambeau Field, even though the coach said he had not yet spoken with the team's medical personnel about where Rodgers stands with his injury.
Tolzien completed 24 of 34 passes for 339 yards, but threw three interceptions in the Packers' 27-13 loss to the New York Giants Sunday in his first NFL start.
A week earlier, Tolzien came on for an injured Seneca Wallace after one series in a loss to the Philadelphia Eagles, and McCarthy tabbed him the starter after that game.

Great apartment with great view. Very clean and Angela is super nice and spoke english well. We were already very often in greece, but so great we have not used. Definitely scooter or rent a car, is very steep to Angela and the island has great beaches. Kerkyra is also super, also for shopping. The first where was the weather mixed, but it was always better. The sea was quite fresh (18) degrees. You can eat good everywhere in the taverns. The native corfiots are very, very nice. The entire island is very clean. All around a successful holiday. read hotel review

Small, well well-kept complex. Angela ( landlady, front desk and maids in a person ) is very nice and helpful. The communication in English worked well. The room was clean. The kitchen was rather functional, the pasta cooking, eggs fry, salad make etc. Adequate. The bathroom was small, but otherwise in good condition. A plus point was the big balcony, at the same time as dining room and a great view about the bays of Paleokastritsa offered. That the air conditioning paying extra was, we found fair. We have in spite of the high-summer temperatures not needed and at night ... with open door sleep. Against the mosquito menace in the supermarket various possibilities to help buy, for example a duftstecker for the socket ( circa 5 Euro with 20 duftpads ). The pool the apartment complex korina must be used. One may not brought food and drinks consume. The prices are however reasonable, for a L flat water 1 Euro, ice around the 2 Euro, pizza around the 5 Euro. Because it in Paleokastritsa many apartment complexes and only 3 hotels returns, are many pools public. The pool with of the most beautiful views in the area is the golden Fox in lakones (if you like we didn't car has, on foot about minutes reachable). The shops in the city itself are limited, the supermarkets differ very reasonable, you should therefore explore, the cheapest market is. The prices are significantly higher as in Germany, 500 g quark costs for example 2,60 Euro. Fruit and vegetables are however cheap, as well as water. In Paleokastritsa there are several small beaches. The sandy beach ampelaki around midday full, because there is a massive coach parking space is, where groups a our corsair, confire. So we were mostly on the gravel/ sandy beach agia triada. If you don't car would like to rent, you can by bus to Kerkyra go. It takes about 40 minutes and costs 2,30 Euro per ride. The buses are air-conditioned and quite punctual. read hotel review

I'm Fr Lawrence Lew and I am a member of the Order of Preachers - also known as the Dominican friars - who enjoys using photography as a form of preaching God's beauty. Since 2005 I have been actively taking photos and have posted some of my photos online at Flickr; a number of them have been reproduced in print and online. I have also written for several blogs including Godzdogz, and the New Liturgical Movement, and I try to respond to Pope Benedict XVI and Pope Francis' call for us Catholics to preach the mercy and love of God online.
As a Catholic priest and Friar Preacher, I enjoy preaching sermons during the Liturgy and also enjoy reading them. So, with permission from my superiors, I decided to share some of my homilies online here, and I am grateful for your comments/feedback.
I am currently assigned as an assistant Catholic chaplain for the Universities of Edinburgh, Napier, and Queen Margaret in Edinburgh, Scotland. Most of my preaching is done in this context at daily Mass here in St Albert's Priory and Chaplaincy. Occasionally, I will also post some of the talks and reflections I am invited to give.

A coat of Dupli-Color 1,200-degree ceramic paint was applied to the cleaned-up headers. The pipes look to be a 1 3/4-inch design, which will tap a little into our power. We used 1 3/4-inch headers on the dyno, and that's the size that will eventually go on the car. For now, these refurbished pipes are already known to fit.

So did I. But I'm not relying on my imperfect memory. So I reviewed the tape. You should do the same.
Review the tape. It's on youtube. The boos were only at the end and they were obviously due to the fact that the voice vote was nowhere near the 2/3 super-majority. They booed the corrupt process.
"Mayor Villagosi(sp) finally said it passed, but it really did not."
Exactly. And he *should* have been booed. And was.
"You can choose your opinions, but not your facts."
My facts beat yours.
They did no such thing.
"The Church must not sacrifice itself to one party, but a party can take action in line with Church."
The party can take action in line with Church? The church guides a party now? What does that mean? Where is the individual in all of that? It seems to me that "conservative" Christians want the party/church to swallow them and our country whole.
The jig is up. The news is out. Pastors across America have called the left's bluff. The empty words "separation of church and state" – a phrase found nowhere in the U.S. Constitution – have lost their sting.
Yes, "separation" still applies, but only insofar as it requires the state to remain separate from the church. That is to say, that government not interfere with the free exercise of either speech or religion.
For decades, hard-left anti-theist groups like the ACLU, People for the American Way (PFAW) and Barry Lynn's Americans United (AU) have employed a cynical disinformation scheme...

By Bill Rankin
A state lawmaker emotionally tabled his bill to require insurance companies to cover treatment for autism.
"I really don't want to do this," Sen. Tommie Williams (R-Lyons) said, his autistic niece, Ava, looking on only a few yards away.
Senate Bill 161 would require insurers to cover Applied Behavior Analysis treatment of autism for employees of small companies.
Williams, who named the legislation after Ava, said he was withdrawing the legislation this year because there are many senators, including some in the Republican caucus, who are not ready to vote for it.
But Williams said if there is a cure for some children with autism, there should be a requirement for insurance to cover it.
After receiving the behavioral treatment for 18 months, Ava could speak 1,000 words, Williams proudly told his colleagues. Yet many insurance policies only cover the diagnosis of autism, not this treatment, he said.
"The truth is we found something for autistic kids that works," Williams said. "I don't want to tell somebody [with an autistic child] to buy insurance and find out it's worthless."
Williams asked that a study committee meet this summer on the issue.
"I want your commitment that we study this thing, get it right and pass it out of this chamber next year," he said.

The American College of Obstetrics and Gynecology has come out with a new statement for their members: it's time to prepare to work with transgender patients.
To address the significant health care disparities of transgender individuals and to improve their access to care, ob-gyns should prepare to provide routine treatment and screening or refer them to other physicians, according to The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (The College). In a Committee Opinion published today, The College also states its opposition to gender identity discrimination and supports both public and private health insurance coverage for gender identity disorder treatment.
I have criticized ACOG in the past for their policies regarding home birth and midwifery care, but this statement is really good news and an important step for transgender health care.
Their statement specifically addresses the gynecological needs of transgender men, who may still require cervical and breast cancer screenings, as well as other gynecological (and even obstetric) care.
"We need to make our offices settings that treat all patients with respect," said Dr. Buyers. The College offers ob-gyns suggestions on how to create an office environment that is welcoming to transgender patients. For instance, asking patients their preferred name and pronoun, posting non-discrimination policies, ensuring confidentiality, and offering sensitivity training for staff are all steps that signal acceptance and let patients know that they will be treated with dignity. "We want the transgender community to know that we, as ob-gyns, care about their health."
I hope that their members follow this important advice.

The tech industry has been on the cutting edge of green initiatives lately, with Dell, HP, Google and others all claiming different environmental achievements. Now, they're banding together to make a bigger impact: the aforementioned companies, along with a laundry list of other top tech firms including Intel, IBM, Microsoft, AMD, Sun Microsystems, Lenovo, and others - are partnering with The World Wildlife Fund and the Environmental Protection Agency to encourage efficient computer energy use.
The Climate Savers Computing Initiative is nothing if not ambitious in its goals. Pat Gelsinger, a senior VP at Intel, says that they are aiming to reduce annual computer power consumption 50% by 2010, the equivalent of taking 11 million cars off the road. Their website asks consumers and businesses to participate, and informs them about steps they can take to what is lowest price levitra better viagra or levitra reduce their computer energy use. The group currently endorses Energy Star and the 80 Plus Program as labels to look for when buying computer parts, and they are also planning to roll out their own Climate Savers standards in the future.
It is great that these companies are coming together, though I am not sure how much of an impact they will have by only promoting going green. There are not a lot of mexican rx cialis low priced new ideas being brought to the table here, but perhaps the brand exposure will encourage consumers and businesses to think about the click now order levitra environment when purchasing their next PC.via ars technica

How important you think the Learfield Sports Directors Cup really is probably depends on how your school ranks its final standings.
It doesn't help the cup's prestige with the sports audience at large that it's perennially won by Stanford, not exactly your biggest name in the two high-profile, big-money college sports, football and men's basketball.
This year Stanford took its 15th consecutive Directors Cup, presented annually by the National Association of Collegiate Athletic Directors of America to the top intercollegiate athletic program in the nation. The Cardinal did it the way it always does — by loading up on championships and nationally ranked finishes in a host of mostly nonrevenue sports such as men's gymnastics, women's rowing, women's volleyball, men's water polo, men's cross country, men's swimming, women's soccer … you get the idea.
They're all legitimate sports, and UGA is certainly proud of its fifth straight national championship in women's gymnastics and high national finishes in women's swimming and diving, women's tennis, men's golf, softball, men's tennis and so on. It wishes its national title in equestrian counted, but that's not yet one of the cup sports.
The cup takes a holistic view of college athletics, where men's water polo and golf are on equal footing with the BCS and March Madness. Philosophically, that's the way things ought to be. But realistically, such bragging rights don't mean much with most sports fans.
This is where I'll no doubt be accused of sour grapes because UGA tumbled in the Directors Cup rankings this year to No. 18, its lowest placing in the cup standings since it was No. 28 in 1997. Since that time, UGA had ranked in the Top 15, finishing in the Top 10 four of the five previous years, including 10th place last year. Georgia placed second in 1999 and third in 2001.
This year's decline was a result of not winning as many national titles and/or SEC titles in the spring sports as in recent years and, of course, men's basketball not making the NCAA Tournament.
The cup might not matter to a lot of sports fans, but it matters to UGA athletics director Damon Evans, who told the Athens Banner-Herald he wants the Dogs to be a "mainstay" in the cup standings. "We've got to be at a minimum in the Top 10 and we haven't been. … Then we want to start getting in that Top 5 to where we might be able to make some more noise in that Director's Cup, because that's a proud moment."
Evans said Georgia has to "get better in certain areas. Men's basketball has got to get better. Volleyball is improving and we've got to do some things there. We've gone backwards in some things … where traditionally we were a little better."
Evans cited the women's basketball program, which underperformed this year, barely making the NCAA tourney and losing in the first round after being a Sweet Sixteen fixture in the past. "I'm confident that it will get back to where it should be," Evans said of women's basketball, perhaps firing a warning shot across the bow of longtime Lady Dogs coach Andy Landers.
It's clear Damon Evans wants one day to win that cup. Let's just hope UGA doesn't do it the Stanford way.

Interesting post. It's really interesting when you consider the academic standing of Stanford compared with the other members of Division I. That being said, UGA has a tradition of doing well in nonrevenue sports so the Dawgs should usually be in contention for the cup.
But like a lot of things in sports, well-performing teams always run in cycles and UGA will be back at the top in the near future.

The problem I have always had with this is that for some reason UGA refuses to have many varsity sports teams. We are missing a lot of the sports that give points for this award. I have always been amazed how we place so high with such a handicap. Maybe it is title Nine, but maybe Evans should take a little of that surplus each year and sport a few more teams. You can't tell me that UGA can't field a men's soccer team, or a men's cross country team. Even division II schools can field good teams in those sports. If we are hurting for women's sports, there are tons of them that we could have a team for. Most of those schools who are always ahead of us, are there because they have more potential points then us.
Sports I don't understand why we don't have a team are:
Men's soccer
Men's cross country
Any lacrosse team
Women's field hockey

[...] But as I noted here last year, where UGA finishes in the Director's Cup standings matters a lot more to Evans than it does to most fans in the Bulldog Nation. After all, the cup routinely is won by Stanford on the basis of its many championships and nationally ranked finishes in nonrevenue sports such as rowing, volleyball, water polo and so on. [...]

I have found that my children love creating with the same simple materials I used as a child. From watercolors to play-dough, it doesn't take much to keep them feeling inspired. As I was brainstorming holiday type crafts to do with my five and three year old, I fell back to some old standby supplies – pipe cleaners and jingle bells. Not only are these materials very inexpensive and readily available, they are easy for little hands to work with. We ended up making a few simple little jingle bell wreath ornaments in no time and they couldn't have been more pleased with their handiwork.
To get started you'll need to gather a few supplies:
-Silver tinsel pipe cleaners
-Jingle bells
Begin by having your little one string the jingle bells onto one pipe cleaner. This is a great opportunity to develop fine motor skills! It's also a nice time to practice counting. Have them count aloud as they add the bells.
We added 14 bells to our ornaments but you can more or less depending on the size you'd like your finished wreath to be. When you have added all of your bells, twist the pipe cleaners to connect them at the top.
Create a bow with a second pipe cleaner.
Attach the bow to the top of the jingle bell wreath by simply twisting the pipe cleaners together. Next, secure the top by twisting as well.
Your children will surely love making this jingle bell wreath ornament to hang on the tree, give as a gift, or attach to a package.

PMSL, I really do wish you would come off the fence Chris & say what you think on these matters.
Ah Well.
Got my "proper" version of Lightroom 3 Upgrade today in the post. For the past three weeks I have been using the version downloaded from the Adobe website, so today I was able to enter the serial number and make it permanent.
But, on the packaging are the "System Requirements", which I hadn't bothered looking at closely when I downloaded the trial.
Unlike the previous two versions of Lightroom, the latest version will only work on PCs and on Macs with Intel processors. That cuts out a load of earlier Macs.
So presumably Adobe will bring in the same constraint on their next versions of Photoshop and Elements. Looks like they are definitely going down the PC route for the future.
Quote: Looks like they are definitely going down the PC route for the future.
Not really - just means its not worth bothering building a different version for the old Macs, i should think most Mac users are on intel chipsets these days anyway (the old ones are just sooo unfashionable!)
Quote: i should think most Mac users are on Intel chipsets these days anyway (the old ones are just sooo unfashionable!)
I'm not . . . Mac G5 Power PC . . . And not upgrading . . . Intel Macs aren't proper macs . . . If I want an Intel computer, I'll use a windows one . . . or Linux (and do ) . . . But yes I can fully understand Adobe dropping support for older non Intel macs from the product line . . . Look what happened to MAC OS when Apple 'retired' legacy code . . . the OS shrunk by 50%
It's very interesting, this argument about Mac vs PC. I run a Computer User Group which started in 1988 as a Sinclair QL sub-group. We've all moved on from that. There has been this argument raging since we first started. I work for a few weeks in the year for Cambridge University Examinations Board, and I find that although the students use PC's (probably cost affects this) many Academics use Macs. They are probably conversant with both.
With the present Government needing the save our money by cutting services, I feel that it is time they seriously considered how much is being paid to Microsoft (and it's "Partners" ) each year for software, when they could follow the French lead by changing their OS to the free Linux system (the French Gendarmerie are replacing Windows with Linux as the computers need replacing (this takes place over several years and is expected to save 70,000,000 Euro's per year). That's probably around £50,000,000 of our money which could be saved and probably more.
Quote: Software's your main issue, if you've been PC based previously and go down the Mac route you'll need all new software and likewise Mac to PC.
Actually, that is not strictly true, at least with adobe products. It is hidden away and you have to jump through a few hoops, but you can exchange/transfer a pc creative suite license (for example) for a mac one for free and vice versa. You have to pay a shipping fee if you want new media sending out and you have to send a letter saying you have destroyed the other version.
We have had to transfer a couple at work recently.
You can also get a 'cross platform upgrade' through a similar process - e.g. You have photoshop cs3 for windows you can upgrade to a cs5 for Mac for the normal upgrade price.
I don't know as Microsoft would let you do the same with an office license though as I have never tried, but if you are holding off switching because you don't want to buy photoshop again, you don't have to.
I am IT manager and use a windows PC everyday in work last christmas I got a gift of a Mac from my wife and it is great. The Mac I find is different, quirky and and cerainly the software range is not expansive, but I love it.
Apple has caught me hook, line and sinker and I don't think I will buy another Microsoft windows PC, now back to reality.....
When you are considering buying an Apple personal computer, consider the investment you have made in microsoft software, photoshop, printers and external storage, make sure the web pages you need to access, as not all, support Apple's Safari bowser and also consider the costs MACs are not cheap !!!!.
However if you get one, you will love it. Apple compatible software, printers, cameras, Iphones etc, all plug in & connect a seamless manner and you will discover how computers should work.
Since we're mainly talking about Photoshop here, the real question is can you tell the difference between a picture digitally processed on a Mac or Win or Linux OS PC?
If you prefer one or the other's results, buy that. Personally, if you think you can tell a difference, I'd say you are delusional.
It's like cameras. Pick 'em up and feel 'em. If it feels ok, it is ok. Show me someone who says they can tell a picture taken on a Canon/ Nikon/ Pentax all displayed on the same monitor and I'll show you an idiot
As someone who has earned their living all their life from their camera, I can say with absolute honesty that no client ever asked me what brand of camera I used.
Would you have used an entry-level camera for a job where the client was likely to be present?
I remember a story from my old amateur days - it was just after the Leica M4 was released - the late 1960s. An architectural photographer generally worked with a 10x8 Sinar, but when he needed a few work-in-prograss shots, he used his new Leica M4.
The MD of the construction company was on site and expressed surprise when he saw the M4 being used because he'd just bought one himself. The photographer, of course, reassured the MD that the pix would be fine. The client thought for a few moments and replied that now that he had his own M4, he could do the photography himself and save the firm a small fortune.
The photographer had just lost nearly half his turnover!
I have thought that was an argument in favour of apple.
If you run a design studio of some kind, apple kit looks the part.
It sort of makes a statement about your philosophy and the type of work you do.
With some clients I could imagine that being important.
Or (like companies with impressive buildings) might make clients think you are charging too much
If I was their customer, it would cross my mind that I was paying for their kit.
Quote: Since we're mainly talking about Photoshop here, the real question is can you tell the difference between a picture digitally processed on a Mac or Win or Linux OS PC?
Obviously if you compare results then there's going to be no difference at all. But that's not the point, is it?
If you're buying a computer to use day in and day out you want the one that's going to be less annoying, require less maintenance and which will quietly let you get on with your work without occasional sulks or generally acting like a drama queen.
In other words, a Mac.
I wouldn't mention apple and maintenance in the same sentence unless I was going to swear about it.
One thing that put me off was the 2 to 4 weeks back to workshop repair jobs.
You could get a decent response from an apple engineer on the phone, friendly helpful people. But having established there's a hardware failure, they would brightly say OK its under warranty, just drop it into your local apple centre. I would point out that was a about a 90 mile drive each way and in any case we'd paid for on site maintenance.
After a pause a shaken voice would reply that yes, it was 90.2 miles in fact, and they don't send engineers more than 70 miles. They would have to get it collected, and did I have my own cardboard box ?
If you've got 40 in a room and one goes, not such a big problem, if its your own only computer, not so good.
Quote: the real question is can you tell the difference between a picture digitally processed on a Mac or Win or Linux OS PC?
Partly, but as with cameras, the question of 'handling' is important too, i.e. how productive are you when using it and how free is your brain from creativity-interrupting hassles.

Yes but at least it keeps everyone on even footing. Who do you want to go up against in a BG or Arena? The guy who can only have 6 just like you or the person who stockpiled 20k gold pre Wrath and had plenty of cash with 50+inscriptions rolling over you and laughing. Its all about balance. And really, there are certain spells that what else can you do but a cosmetic change, like polymorph?

I'm not saying it was done purposefully, but my watermark just so happened to be cropped out, and the photo was then uploaded on Instagram.

If you guys see a picture that you like that has been taken by someone else, (tumblr, instagram etc.) do not forget to give them credit, or at least ask if you can take it, because it really sucks to have your photos being used by someone else and not be credited; especially when uploading it to other social media sites. Someone will always recognize their work because it's something that they took time to take, and edit. It also makes them feel like someone is claiming their hard work as their own, which is so not cool.

Member since
I bought this thinking it was flannel, but it's not. Maybe there's a different definition for flannel that I'm unaware of, but this is not your typical flannel, feels like a normal button up shirt. That said, it wasn't worth returning because I still like it.
Member since
Do these fit slim or regular?
No freakin size charts for etnies!?
I am 6'6" 240 bls and I want to make sure the XL will not be skin tight or too short in the sleeves =(

I've got a Etnies Buckshot Flannel that is definitely slim fit. I would assume this shirt has a similar fit. I'm going to buy one right now.

Why says streaming television can't be a communal experience?
On November 6 at Hollywood's Boulevard 3 nightclub, Amazon Studios let its industry friends into its living room of sorts, celebrating the launches of its original programs "Alpha House" and "Betas" amidst (appropriately) binge-worthy treats like burgers and mac and cheese, coffee tables decorated with Rubik's Cubes, Connect Four and Battleship games and, naturally, walls of flat screen TVs.
Joe Lewis and [Amazon Studios' Head of Kids' Programming] Tara Sorensen and I were strategizing at the famous Hollywood power spot, the Van Nuys El Pollo Loco ⦠tonight is really just for fun, so we're going to put aside all the scripts and the notes and the table reads and the contentious negotiations and just have fun -- which of course means we're going to spend a few hours talking exclusively about television and we'll close five new deals by midnight."
Of course, creating original programming for the Web is du jour these days with Amazon Studios rivals like Netflix and YouTube also on board with the idea.
"It's the future," says Ed Begley Jr., who stars in Amazon's "Betas" and also appeared on Netflix's re-launch of "Arrested Development. He added that "network TV isn't going away, neither is cable. It's not going away tomorrow, but more and more people are cutting cable or that dish cable and they're just getting stuff off the Internet."
But just because you're on an Amazon program doesn't mean you immediately had to, well, get with the program. Natalie Zea of Amazon's new pilot "The Rebels" says she finally "caved" to binge-watching online because she "got so sick hearing about various digital shows."
"I'm very analog and I went ahead and made a huge step," she says. "Because you just don't want to be left out; you want to know what people are talking about around the water cooler."
There were also inevitable comparisons between Amazon's political satire comedy "Alpha House" starring John Goodman and Netflix's political thriller "House of Cards" with Kevin Spacey.
"We can't wait to play them in softball," joked "Alpha's" Mark Consuelos, while Goodman said Spacey could probably beat him in a fight.
"He's a vicious, vicious bastard," deadpanned Goodman of his rival network's star.
The battle is about to begin. "Alpha House" premieres November 15 and "Betas" premieres November 22 on Amazon Prime.

Price Variation in Markets with Homogeneous Goods: The Case of Medigap
AbstractAbout one-third of elderly Americans age 65 and older supplements their Medicare health insurance in a private insurance market known as the ÒMedigapÓ market. Prices for Medigap policies vary widely, despite the fact that regulations enacted in 1992 standardized all Medigap policies, thereby creating a market with homogenous insurance products. Economic theory suggests that consumer search costs can lead to a non-degenerate price distribution within a market for otherwise homogenous goods. Using a structural model of equilibrium search costs first posed by Carlson and McAfee (1983), the authors find that nearly all consumers face search costs high enough to prevent them from searching until they find the lowest priced Medigap policy. They estimate average search costs to be $249, substantially higher than has been found in other markets, but plausible given the complex nature of the Medigap market and its elderly consumer population. The implied aggregate welfare loss is approximately $798 million or $484 per policyholder.

I am once again honored to have had the opportunity to present with Judge Taft-Carter and Attorney Kimberly Petta, the Rhode Island Law Day program at the Newport County Courthouse. The Rhode Island Law Day program is sponsored by the Rhode Island Bar Association and focused upon First Amendment issues. Our presentation discussed free speech, its protections and the ability of government to limit free speech. The presentation included a discussion about cyber-crimes, specifically
cyberbullying, cyberharassment,
sexting, and the dangers of posting personal information on the Internet. In attendance at the program were over seventy (70) students and staff from Thompson Middle School located in Newport, Rhode Island.
The Rhode Island Bar Association does an excellent job in presenting programs throughout the State for middle school and high school students to celebrate Law Day. It is extremely beneficial for young people to understand our judicial system and to have an opportunity to discuss topics which are relevant to them. In addition to the cyber-crimes program, the students took a tour of the courthouse and cellblock, and watched live courtroom demonstrations at the Newport County Superior Court.
If you or a family member has been charged with an Internet crime such as cyber-bullying or sexting, which can lead to
child pornography charges, please contact the Law Offices of Robert H. Humphrey.
Attorney Robert H. Humphrey is a recognized leader in the area of sex crimes and Internet-related crimes. Please
contact Attorney Robert H. Humphrey at 401-816-5862 or e-mail him at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Since 2002 Perimeter Institute has been recording seminars, conference talks, and public outreach events using video cameras installed in our lecture theatres. Perimeter now has 7 formal presentation spaces for its many scientific conferences, seminars, workshops and educational outreach activities, all with advanced audio-visual technical capabilities. Recordings of events in these areas are all available On-Demand from this Video Library and on Perimeter Institute Recorded Seminar Archive (PIRSA). PIRSA is a permanent, free, searchable, and citable archive of recorded seminars from relevant bodies in physics. This resource has been partially modelled after Cornell University's arXiv.org.
The EotWash group at the University of Washington has developed a set of torsion balance
instruments to probe the properties of gravity and to search for new weak forces. Current efforts
focus on improved tests of the principle of equivalence, the inverse square law at short distances,
and spin-coupled interactions. These experiments and prospects for the future will be discussed.
Some theories predict a short-range component to the gravitational force, typically modeled as a Yukawa modification of the gravitational potential. This force is usually detected by measuring the motion of a mechanical oscillator driven by an external mass. In this talk I will discuss such an apparatus optimized for use in the 10-100 micron distance range. The setup consists of a cantilever-style silicon nitride oscillator suspended above a rotating drive mass.
A popular alternative to dark energy in explaining the current acceleration of the universe discovered with type Ia supernovae is modifying gravity at cosmological scales. But this is risky: even when everything is well for cosmology, other fundamental and experimental aspects of gravity must be checked in order for the theory to be viable. The successes of modified gravity and its challenges, which have generated a large body of literature in the past ten years, will be reviewed.
Precision atom interferometry is poised to become a powerful tool for discovery in fundamental physics. Towards this end, I will describe recent, record-breaking atom interferometry experiments performed in a 10 meter drop tower that demonstrate long-lived quantum superposition states with macroscopic spatial separations.
I will discuss experiments we are conducting for precision tests of gravitational physics using cold atom interferometry. In particular, I will report on the measurement of the gravitational constant G with a Rb Raman interferometer, and on experiments based on Bloch oscillations of Sr atoms confined in an optical lattice for gravity measurements at small spatial scales and for testing Einstein equivalence principle.
Satellite geodesy uses the timing of photons from satellites to determine the Earth's time varying shape, gravity field, and orientation in space, with accuracies of 100 seconds, corresponding to speeds
I will discuss present limits on the variation of the fine structure constant and the electron to proton mass ratio from the astrophysical data on the spectra from the interstellar gas medium. The emphasis will be made on the infrared and microwave spectra. Such spectra may be 2 - 3 orders of magnitude more sensitive to the variation of constants than optical spectra.
Official U.S. time is currently realized by an ensemble of commercial cesium-beam atomic clocks and hydrogen masers. Cesium-fountain devices presently serve as ultimate frequency references and help to define the SI second. The present quandary is: these microwave-based standards are rapidly becoming outmatched by new optical atomic frequency references---by a factor of 1,000 in stability, and perhaps a factor of 100 in accuracy. I will survey the ongoing optical atomic clock projects at NIST and highlight related work in optical time and frequency measurement and transfer.

The Coachwhips Reunite This Halloween, Answer Prayers, and Add a Second Show in Oakland
Halloween isn't just for kids. Certainly not in the Bay Area. But the 21 and ups can't have all the fun right? Mark your calendars because The Coachwhips (one of John Dwyer of Thee Oh Sees' edgier previous bands before his latest project began evolving in the same direction. Guess it all comes full circle?) and Total Trash Booking have heeded our prayers and added a second "all ages" show to their trans-Bay Halloween Bash. Clearly the popular demand is deafening and the show's promoters are listening.
This one's at Oakland's Lobot Gallery on Sunday, October 28th and is co-headlined by Pangea (L.A.). You should definitely show up on time to catch Chicago's White Mystery. There will be backbends with guitars strapped on. That's an almost guarantee.
With this added show, it might take off some of the costume stress for The Coachwhips' first show (in seven years!) at SF's Verdi Club. That's where the venue will be converted into a Haunted House for the night, but it's sold out. The only way you're getting in is by schlepping out in costume for the limited number of tickets at the door. So get on it kids, you asked for it.
Tickets for added show in Oakland on sale now. See below for all of this year's Total Trash bands:
