April 24, 2008 - Kubuntu 8.04 has been released and is available for download now.
Kubuntu 8.04 stepped over the barriers of gutsiness and took on a whole new feat by providing this latest release with double vision. Improved desktops, updated applications, increased usability features, and a new future are just a few of the surprises with this latest release. Improved desktops? Double vision? Yes! Kubuntu 8.04 now provides you the ability to use either one of two desktop environments, or both if you shall choose. If stability is the feather in the cap you are looking for, then look no further than Kubuntu 8.04 featuring the KDE 3 desktop environment. If you are looking for a bit of an edge, Kubuntu has you covered with the new Kubuntu 8.04 KDE 4 Remix. This time around the development team jumped over hurdles, bent backwards, and did all kinds of flips for a non-Olympic event in order to bring you this latest release. So it is with our pleasure that we introduce you to the new Kubuntu 8.04 and we hope you enjoy your ride aboard the Hardy Heron.
To download Kubuntu 8.04, go to:
If you have Kubuntu 7.04 installed follow these upgrade instructions.
Here is what's hot in Kubuntu 8.04
Kubuntu 8.04 now features two versions of the K Desktop Environment, a powerful graphical desktop environment which combines the ease of use, contemporary functionality, and outstanding graphical design with the technological superiority of the Kubuntu operating system. The stable release of KDE in Kubuntu 8.04 is version 3.5.9. The edgier release of KDE in Kubuntu 8.04 is version 4.0.3.

Version: 4.0.3
The future of the desktop is upon us, and the award winning desktop environment, KDE, is pleased to grace all of us with their newest desktop, KDE 4.0. This latest release, version 4.0.3, includes many new features, improvements, and many bug fixes such as:
KDE 4 is available on the Kubuntu 8.04 KDE 4 Remix CD, or with apt-get install kubuntu-kde4-desktop.
Info: http://dot.kde.org/1203436147/
Version: 3.5.9
The award winning desktop environment, KDE, has updated its stable version with the 3.5.9 release. This latest release includes new features, improvements, and bug fixes such as:
Kubuntu 8.04 now provides you the ability for 3D desktop effects such as a spinning cube, true transparency, wobbly windows, and more. Utilizing the Compiz desktop effects you have the ability to choose from 4 levels of desktop effects:
Kubuntu 8.04 provides various multimedia resources. For listening to and managing your music there is Amarok, an award winning music player featuring album covers, lyrics, Wikipedia integration, multiple multimedia devices support, and more. For watching videos there is Kaffeine for KDE 3 and the new Dragon Player for KDE 4. New in Kubuntu 8.04 for the Kaffeine player is the new codec installation which will automatically install codecs when opening a file for the first time. When you insert a DVD movie, Kaffeine will automatically install the necessary DVD codecs for your viewing enjoyment.
Kubuntu 8.04 provides many new advancements and support for file systems. Two new features have been added to Kubuntu 8.04 in this arena. The first is the ability to install and encrypted file system during installation. This option is currently available only on the Alternate Installation CD. You can encrypt every partition except for the /boot partition, providing you a more secure version of Kubuntu. The second new feature provides you the ability to easily read and write any NTFS partitions you may have on your desktop.
Kubuntu 8.04 now provides an applet that automatically configures a printer when it is attached to your system. This new applet also provides you with feedback on the status of the printer installation and configuration.
Kubuntu 8.04 Desktop, or Live, CDs provide a new installer for those running Windows. Wubi allows the installation of Kubuntu just like it were any other application you would install in Windows. Wubi does not require you to modify the partitions of your PC or the need to use a different boot loader.
Kubuntu 8.04 includes OpenOffice.org 2.4, which is an open-source office suite similar in functionality to that of other office suites. The included applications are: Writer, a fully functional word processor, Calc, an advanced spread sheet program and Impress, a tool for creating effective multimedia presentations. OpenOffice.org is compatible with all major office suites.
For those of you wanting something lighter, KOffice is a simple install away. It includes world leading applications such as Kexi the database manager and Krita the image editor.
Kontact, the Personal Information Manager in Kubuntu 8.04, unites an entire suite of PIM applications in one central environment which are tailored to work well with each other. Kontact delivers innovations to help you manage your communications easily, organize your work faster and work together more closely, resulting in more productivity and efficiency in digital collaboration. Components include mail, calendar, contacts, notes, and more.
The Ubuntu server edition builds on the functionality from the previous release simplifying common Linux server deployments. Included is a major virtualisation support initiative. On x86 systems with the Intel VT or AMD-V extensions, Kernel-based Virtual Machine support (KVM) allows users to run multiple virtual machines running unmodified Linux. Each virtual machine has private virtualised hardware: a network card, disk, graphics adapter and so on. Also included is VMI support which provides optimised performance under VMWare. Server packages are available for installation from the Kubuntu DVD as well as the Ubuntu Server CD.

As former Rep. Gabrielle Giffords announced her efforts to prevent gun violence on Tuesday—exactly two years after she was shot in the head while meeting with constituents—some gun-control advocates say they see a powerful new symbol for their cause.
"Who could express more than she can what it is like to be a victim?" said Sarah Brady, chairwoman of the Brady Center to Prevent Gun Violence.
Brady would know. After her husband, James Brady, was shot and partially paralyzed during an assassination attempt on President Reagan, the couple became leading advocates in the push for gun control. Their lobbying efforts helped pass the Brady Handgun Violence Prevention Act, which ushered in background checks for firearms in 1993.
Now, as the Obama administration readies its own gun-control plan in the wake of a school shooting in Connecticut and is joined by advocates such as New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg, Brady says that Giffords could be a powerful messenger, despite the limitations wrought by her injury.
"I think there's a lot of momentum," Brady said. "The only problem is that, having worked in the House and Senate for years, it's not an easy place to go up against."
On Tuesday, Giffords and her husband, former astronaut Mark Kelly, launched their new gun-control campaign, Americans for Responsible Solutions, which will raise money and lobby on behalf of controlling gun violence. In announcing the group, and in the aftermath of the Connecticut shooting that left 20 children and six adults dead, Giffords simply told ABC News's Diane Sawyer, "Enough."
Her husband amplified her thoughts. "I'm hopeful that this time is different, and I think it is," he said in an interview set to air on Tuesday night. "Twenty first-graders being murdered in their classrooms is a very personal thing for everybody."
The clout and emotional appeal that Giffords carries, even two years after the shooting and despite a difficult recovery, is apparent. From her appearance at the Democratic National Convention in September to her statements at the trial of her would-be assassin, Jared Loughner, in November, she remains a powerful presence.
"The whole nation respects and loves this woman; it's hard not to," said Ladd Everitt, communications director for the Coalition to Stop Gun Violence. "She shouldn't even be standing on two feet with the type of traumatic injuries she suffered. The physical and emotional and spiritual strength of this woman is unbelievable and incredible."
While it remains to be seen whether gun-control activists can gather momentum, gun-rights groups are not yet willing to back down. On Jan. 19, two days before President Obama is inaugurated, advocates will hold a "Gun Appreciation Day," gathering in gun shops, shows and ranges across the country.
Although recognizing Giffords as a respected leader, Larry Ward, the president of Political Media and the organizer of the gun-rights day, maintains that what happened to her might have been different if guns were more readily available.
"What happened to Gabby Giffords is a bad thing," Ward said. "We just have to tell people we don't live in Utopia. The Left wants to live in Utopia, this utopian world, this delusional world where a law is going to prevent criminals from taking bad actions. That's not the case. It's never been. It never will be."
Brady, who understands well the power of the gun lobby and the gridlock in Washington, said, "There's not an appetite for these folks to show courage very often." Still, she believes that Giffords can play an important role.
As Brady put it, "It's exciting to see her speak out and become a symbol."

Comments about Beavertail Final Attack Sneak Boat:
I purchased this boat for waterfowling small-medium waters. It works excellent with a small trolling motor/marine battery. I use a pushpole only for maneuvering. Bought the backrest and added a 2" foam seat cushion. Works well. Use a sheet of plywood on floor for support. I cover it with a top made out of camo burlap w/killerweed grass. It's small but comfortable for me at 6'4", 250#. Low profile.

Comments about Beavertail Final Attack Sneak Boat:
This thing will put you in places most people cant set up. The steakout holes are great for shallow water. I love the raised ribs across the front deck, they could help you get back in the boat if you fell in the water, but I doubt you will cause it is very stable for its size. It also has on the bottom of the front and rear finger grooves so you can grip the boat really well. I dig down and cover with dirt in areas where there are no cover, you cant do that with a regular ol layout blind. Cant set a layout blind in 10" of water either, but this blind you can. The floor is like standing on a water ballon but a thin piece of plyboard is a quik fix. Also works as a floating decoy sled! How cant you use it? Cant say a bad thing about it. Most versatile piece of gear I have bought in years!

Worm tracks
Years ago in a welding shop we would get worm tracks if the stickout wasn't long enough. The explanation was something about moisture in the flux and the longer stickout gave more time to preheat it. I am not so sure of the credibility of that explanation but it did work to go longer. You can easily go 1 inch or more on stickout with dual shield.Cheers,

What are you welding? Plate or Pipe? What position.
In my experience, wormtracking is most often caused by using too high a voltage for the set wire feed speed(amperage). As a previous poster said, it can also be caused by moisture in the wire. Correct stickout is a factor in this. But wire that's set out too long in a very humid environment can develop wormtracking issues. So can welding on wet steel.
What specific product are you welding? What wire feed speed are you using?
If by pressure, you mean gas flow rate, 25 sounds a little low, unless you're using 100% CO2 gas.
You should be using a drag or straight in angle for flux cored wire; unless you're welding vertical up. Then a slight push angle is OK.

1) incorrect voltage..check wire weld parameters for stick-out etc.
2) gas coverage.. we run our flowmeters up around 40 cfh inside the shop
3) base metal contamination
4) dirty / rusty wire

I had issues a year ago in my shop when I started teaching. We went to straight co2. But bigger thing was not enough gas. 40-50 cfh is what weld parameters said. As suggested look up consumables data sheet will give u a start point for all settings including gas flow, voltage & wire feed

Friday, November 21, 2003CHATTANOOGA, Tenn. -- College of Charleston used a balanced offensive attack, led by All-Southern Conference picks Alisa Long and Stephanie Ballard, as the Cougars took a three-game sweep over East Tennessee State (30-28, 30-23, 30-22) Friday afternoon in the first round of the Southern Conference Volleyball Championships played at UTC's Maclellan Gym. The Cougars advance to Saturday's semifinals at 7 p.m. against the UTC-Furman winner. The Cougars (27-5) distributed most of their offense among four players - Long's 15 kills, Ballard's 14 kills and 11 from Sara Davis and 10 by Rebecca Wieters. Marie Dobrenz led the defense with 12 digs and Ballard added 11. Kaycie Carr did the setting and picked up 52 set assists. In the opening game, College of Charleston led virtually the entire game and held off the Bucs' hopes for a late rally. Long picked up six kills and the Cougars hit .292 as a team. ETSU's Sara Scandiffio (Purcellville, Va.) picked up six kills. A balanced offense among Long, Davis, Ballard and Wieters provided the impetus for CofC's game-two win, and Ballard added six digs. CofC hit a sizzling .390 at the net in the final game and Long picked up five kills. ETSU (9-22) also had balance on the front line with Jennifer Sartor (Toronto, Canada) and Kate Steidle (Waynesboro, Va.) both getting nine kills. Lissa Allen (Palm Bay, Fla.) and Scandiffio both had eight kills. Natalie Pittenger (Gaston, Ind.) picked up 11 digs, while Kristi Robinson (Knoxville, Tenn.) added 10 to go with 37 set assists.

Elara is the eighth largest moon of Jupiter. With a mean radius of 43 km (assuming an albedo of 0.04), it's only about 2% the size of Europa, the smallest of the four Galilean moons. But it's about half as big as Himalia, which makes it second biggest in the Himalia group, a family of Jovian satellites which have similar orbits and appearance, and are therefore thought to have a common origin.
Elara may be a chunk of an asteroid (a C- or D-class asteroid, judging by the fact that it reflects only about 4% of the light it receives), which was broken apart in a collision either before or after being captured by Jupiter's gravity. In this scenario, the other pieces became the other moons in the Himalia group: Leda, Himalia (the largest) and Lysithea. A fifth moon, called S/2000 J11, only about 2 km in radius, was considered a candidate for this group. However, it was lost before its orbit could be definitively determined. It may have crashed into Himalia, reuniting two pieces of the former asteroid, and perhaps creating a faint temporary ring of Jupiter near the orbit of Himalia.
At a distance of about 11.7 million km from Jupiter, Elara takes nearly 260 Earth days to complete one orbit.
Elara was discovered on 5 January 1905 by Charles Dillon Perrine in photographs taken with the Crossley 36-inch (0.9 meter) reflector of the Lick Observatory on Mount Hamilton at the University of California, San Jose.
How Elara Got its Name:
Elara is named for one of the lovers of Zeus, the Greek equivalent of the Roman god Jupiter. In Greek mythology, Zeus hid her from his wife, Hera, by placing Elara deep beneath the Earth, where she gave birth to their son, a giant called Tityas.
A name ending in "a" was chosen for this moon in keeping with the International Astronomical Union's policy for designating Jupiter's outer moons which have prograde orbits (orbiting in the same direction as Jupiter's rotation).

Giedo van der Garde is okay despite taking a hard hit that put him out of Sunday's Japanese GP...
Giedo van der Garde is okay despite taking a hard hit that put him out of Sunday's Japanese GP.
Battling with the Marussias for track position at the start, there was contact between the Caterham driver and Jules Bianchi that resulted in both going off.
Van der Garde, though, took the brunt of it as he slammed nose first in the tyre wall at pace.
The Dutchman was, thankfully, not hurt in the crash.
"My start was ok but going into Turn One I was squeezed between both the Marussia cars and had nowhere to go," he said.
"I lost my front wing in contact with Bianchi and then the car went straight off and into the wall.
"It was quite a heavy impact but I'm ok.
"Obviously that's disappointing, but it was a racing incident and sometimes these things happen so now we'll move on to India and push for a better weekend there and for the rest of the season."

Brought to you by Award-winning director and designer Julie Taymor, who was the first woman to receive a Tony-Award for Best Director, The Lion King has reigned as The King Of Broadwaysince it's opening in 1997. The musical, which is based on the 1994 Disney Film of the same name with music by Elton John and lyrics by Tim Rice, has a score created by Hans Zimmer and choral arrangements by Lebo M. Presented by Disney Theatrical, The Lion King's perhaps most dazzling element comes from the brilliant imagination of Julie Taymor, who designed animal costumes as well as giant hollow puppets that help the actors depict their animal kingdom characters. As this musical continues to run on Broadway, Lion King tickets remain highly coveted among theatergoers.
'The Lion King' Surpasses 'Phantom' as Highest-Grossing Broadway Show
Everybody knows Disney's classic 1994 animated film, The Lion King. Ya know, the coming-of-age story of Simba, the young cub set to take over the kingdom from his father, Mufasa? Mufasa tells Simba that everything the light touches is his kingdom, Simba runs around singing "I Just Can't Wait To Be King," then a stampede…Read more

Sandusky officials fired police Officer Todd Smith in April 2012 for allegedly exchanging nude photos with a supervisor's wife via text messaging.
An arbitrator ruled Smith should be returned to the force and receive back pay for his out-of-work period.
Arbitrator Robert Stein's report said the exchange of nude photos doesn't violate city policy, nor did it stop Smith from fulfilling his police duties.

Gently hold paper in place for even the most intricate paper crafts. Each mat has easy-to-read ruler and grid markings for convenience and accuracy and offers between 30 and 50 full-page cuts. Each pack includes two 8.5" x 12" (21.59 cm x 30.48 cm) mats. For use with the Cricut Mini™ Electronic Cutting Machine.
Use with the Cricut Mini.....
Click here to read product details
This mat is terrible!! Cricut better improve this asap because these machines and all the extras are not cheap, I expect better quality! I used my mat 3 times and it's lost all stickiness. I'm very disappointed that I already need to buy a new one.
I have had the mini for a few weeks, but the mat was a big disappointment. I have the v1 personal cutter, so I have used (and fought with) cricut mats for years. This mat does not work, which makes the machine impossible to use.
I am like the rest who have posted on this blog. At first the mat was sticky, very difficult to remove item and now it will not hold the paper to cut.
I ordered the cricut mini from HSN. I have wanted one for ages, but could not justify the cost. I finally ''splurged'' and now, I absolutely hate this mat! At first, I had to tear my cardstock to get it off the board, but now, it keeps coming off mid cut. I have used this mat about 6 times. In addition, I have to set it on 6 to cut because I got a thicker cardstock. It is tearing the mat up!!! I am pondering sending the whole thing back!
I too bought my mini from HSN because I've always wanted a Cricut. I thought I was doing something wrong until I read these reviews. First 2 cuts were great but then the mat stopped sticking. I had bought 2 extra mats and tried another and it has stopped sticking after only 2 full page cuts with regular weight card stock. Love the mini but not loving the mats.
I got my cricut mini on Tues and was just able to set it up and cut with it for the first time. I had no trouble setting it up and even getting all the downloads for the font and 3d ornaments or even getting my reward points. However, the instructions for the 3d ornaments are not good, there should be a digit book for it. Also, the mat, after 3 cuts the paper would not stick. I now have to wait until I get new ones to use it again. I really enjoy using my cricut expression but the mats were much stickier. I agree with on review I read that said you should make a product to make the mats sticky again or put 4 to a pkg for the price.
I've had the original Cricut personal cutter for years and most mats last me for at least a month. Now I, too, splurged, for the Mini - the jury's still out for it. The mat is definitely an inferior product. Provo Craft needs to rethink and redo!
I really like the new mini, but the cutting mat stinks. I too have had to use tape to hold cardstock in place after only a few full page cuts. I have put 2-way glue on the mat as I do with the 12 x 12 mats. It's now useable again. I wish P.C. could fix this continuing problem with their cutting mats.
I am surprised at these posts. i have not had a problem with my mat yet. I have cut at least 15 items on cardstock so far. I bought my mini through HSN back in November.
The mats are no good and need to be replaced
I disagree... I got my Cricut mini for Christmas and I was so excited! I heard the mats are supposed to last up to 20 times of use. I've already used mine over 30 times. I also don't think it matters if you need new boards. They are only $10 for 2.
I had a problem at first with the mat being too sticky as I was new and didn't know how to remove with the spatula. Once you learn to slide and lift gently, then clean with a wet one and dry at the end of your day (very important to keep it clean!) I have used one mat for over a month and multiple cuts (80+) and still going! When it slips, I clean it again and off I go, just be patient and keep it clean ladies and gents!
I have had my cricut for years, and was always very happy. Just purchased the new MINI cutting mats and very dissappointed on how they are not sticky at all. I've heard I need to glue them to use them. When I purchase something new, I should not have to do something more to them in order to use them. NOT HAPPY when I'm scrapbooking and cannot use my brand new mats! May never purchase another Provo Craft item!
The mat that came with my Cricut Mini is beyond awful. One cut and that was it. I couldn't do another thing with it. The only place I can get these mats is on this website, but the shipping is over $8 for a $10 item. I am so very sorry I ever got the Cricut Mini. I should have stuck with the original Cricut. Shame on Provo Craft for creating an inferior product and then charging a ridiculous amount to ship such a small item. Do you think we are all stupid?
What happened to the mats? They used to be too sticky and I could never get the paper off now they dont stick after one use!! I prefer the old to the new. I get so annoyed having to spend $12 once a week on mats. Please fix the adhesive!!
I was very disappointed with the mat for the Cricut mini. It is not very sticky causing my paper to move. I ruined several sheets of paper before I stopped my project. The mat needs more glue to hold the paper securely.
All the "new" mats have the same problem - bad adhesive. On both the Mini and the Expression/Imagine mats, the adhesive will work for maybe 1 cut. I've tried cutting with smaller pieces of paper as a second cut - that smaller piece won't adhere and moves all over the mat during the cut. There has to be a solution for a consumable!
I am new to the Cricut Mini and have also had trouble with the mat. I know have to tape the card stock on to the mat for it to work. Provo please make better mats.
not sticky at all used it maybe 10 times i would think it should last longer then 10 cuts
My mat works fine but I notice, one side is really sticky where i can't use thing paper on that side otherwise my project would rip upon removal.
I was excited to get my cricut mini. Its my first time owning a cricut machine. Love the machine but the mat is horrible. The manual states that it should last 20-30 cuts. I probably used it 7x and then the mat stopped sticking. I ruined 3 nice cardstocks because it wouldnt stay put on the mat no matter how hard i pressed and flatten it. I mighth have to tape it down. I know cricut is trying to make money off its cartridges, the mats and the blades, but come on! I'm gonna go broke trying to use the machines because i have to keep buy new mats and blade. I use it mostly on cardstock and regular paper-nothing too thick! Give me a break here!
My mats have been too sticky at first so I started putting an old one face to face with a new one to transfer some of the too sticky surface to the old one. Then I have 2 usable ones!
As a newcomer to Cricut, I can't express how very pleased I am with this product. I have been doing project after project using my Cricut mat over and over. The scraper is perfect for lifting corners and removing projects from the mat. The mat itself is very forgiving of my beginners mistakes. I am buying a new mat so that I won't cut it up so much this time, and it will look fresher.
I got the cricut mini for Christmas. I love the machine, the mat however is another story. This is the 2nd time I've used it and halfway through cutting the image I had to stop because the paper did not stick any longer. I then recut the image, and it then stuck to the mat, but the paper itself would not. I am so disappointed because I love the machine, but the mat needs some serious help.
I agree with the other reviewers. The stickiness is terrible. I've wasted cardstock because the paper moved.

There are a lot of folks out there that think Friday is the last day of the earth as we know it just because we are at the end of the Mayan long count calendar. I think it is kind of like the Y2K scare, where many thought all the computers were going to crash and burn.
I'm betting that I see another column or two before the earth meets its maker! But there are a lot of people out there who have stocked up on extra water and canned tuna, just in case. If I am wrong, it will be the last time! See you the 22nd.
Looks like today is our first measurable snowfall in a long time, since way back last February. Almost 300 days have passed since we saw our last snowfall. It will help get folks in the Christmas mood. Plus, any moisture would help out the ground and ponds at this point. A little blizzard just in time for Christmas.

Warm weather
My wife and I took a trip to Hawaii this past week in celebration of our 15th anniversary. We stayed on the island of Kauai which is the Garden Isle. The small island is where many movies have been filmed — everything from "South Pacific" to all the "Jurassic Park" movies and the "Raiders of the Lost Ark" movie. The famous "Jurassic Park" double waterfall is located on the island.
A number of movie stars have homes on the island including Will Smith and Julia Roberts. I was impressed with all the ecological things they are doing on the island. They have no plastic sacks. And all the cups and take-home containers are made out of some kind of biodegradable material.
They even have electric car chargers in the parking lot of the Walmart store. One thing about living on an island is that you are dependant on cargo containers showing up on time. We went into the Walmart and they had no sacks at all because there was a big storm at sea and their bags had not shown up. So you had to either bring your own bag or take a shopping cart out to your car.
The employees hustling shopping carts in the parking lot had a full-time job keeping all the customers supplied. The gas price on the island was $4.39 a gallon. You don't have much of a chance to go over 50 mph which was the top speed for any of the highways on the island.
We visited several plantations.The largest of which was a coffee plantation with more than 3,100 acres of coffee trees. I brought back several bags of the good-tasting coffee. We went to one of the local farmers markets and they had every kind of fruit you could think of and several I had never even seen before. Of course, the pineapples were excellent.
They also grow a lot of Pioneer seed corn on the island. They had several hundred acres of test plots — all in various stages of growth. I've never seen corn growing next to the ocean in my lifetime. If you get the chance, give the garden island of Kauai a visit. You'll enjoy it. It was 82 degrees every day.
Thought for the week: It doesn't hurt to be optimistic. You can always cry later. — Lucia Santos de Lima
Merry Christmas and see you in 2013.

Recipe by MELLOWMARSHMOMMA
"People who have tasted this thick mix of beans, spices and chicken say: 'So good it'll make you perky and stupid!' I've placed in my workplace's annual Halloween chili cook-off for the last three years. Looks strange -- tastes great! Serve with shredded Monterey Jack cheese and warm flour tortillas."
Hmm. None of these ingredients are on sale today.

1 tablespoon
vegetable oil
3 pounds
skinless, boneless chicken breast meat - cubed
1 cup
chopped onion
2 cups
chicken broth
2 (4 ounce) cans
chopped green chile peppers
5 (14.5 ounce) cans
great Northern beans, undrained
1 tablespoon
garlic powder
1 tablespoon
ground cumin
1 tablespoon
dried oregano
2 teaspoons
chopped fresh cilantro
1 teaspoon
crushed red pepper
I hate the reviews that state: this was a great/awful recipe, but I didn't follow any of the directions or use any of the right ingredients.
That said, I love this recipe. However, I use about 4-5 cloves garlic in place of the powder, double the chilies and add celery. I also saute the garlic, onion, celery, and chilies, add the broth and boil the chicken in the broth. (Because of this, I usually add a few cups more broth.) When the chicken is cooked, I shred it and put it back in the broth and add the beans. I also mash up some of the beans for a thicker soup.
I've made this the night before, refrigerated and heated in a slow cooker the next morning. It's very yummy. This is excellent for left overs also.
I was excited to make this because of all the stellar reviews and because I've never had chicken chili and it sounded pretty healthy. This is a TON of chicken and a TON of beans. I wish I had cut recipe in half. I did poach and shred the chicken (which took a while - 3 pounds of chicken!!) and then mashed the last 2 cans of beans. Also, added more broth. This stuff might be the most unappetizing looking recipe I've ever made. The little pink wormy things from the great northern beans don't help. :-( And, this was very bland to me. This is edible, but won't make again.

Excellent Recipe. I replaced one can of green chili's with a can of jalepenos instead, and it added even more spunk to this recipe. I added garlic as well.. because I love it! This was great, and it sat in my crock pot for 6 hourss on low and maintained perfectly all day. Great as a leftover too. One recommendation *** drain the beans so the slimy consistency is gone, replace liquid by using the remainder of the chicken broth(I used a whole can of fat free chicken broth), then use your blender or a fork to mash the last 2 cans before adding them in.
This was a really good chicken chili. My family loved it! I always read reviews and make a few changes based on what I read. Here is what I did: I made this in the crock pot so I used whole chicken breasts. They were easy to shred at the end which gave the chicken the texture I wanted. I also added more garlic, cumin and oregano. I find that any dish with beans often needs more spice when it cookes so long. I added a can of Rotel Tomatos (spiced up chopped tomatoes) to it as well. Before adding the beans, I drained them and rinsed them. I always drain and rinse canned beans before using them. I served this with white rice (my husband and son like chili on rice) and grated cheddar cheese.
I submitted this recipe years ago, looked it up on a whim and WOW! I can't believe so many people have tried this recipe. Just a few notes on how I have changed it over the years:
Now I use a combination of navy beans, pinto beans, and great northern beans.
I use a lot more broth than 2 cups, I periodically add broth to cover the ingredients as I add them.
If I have time, I boil the chicken breast whole and then shred it by hand, it really adds good texture.
I no longer use the bean juice. Instead I take a can of beans, drain, rinse and food process or mash by hand and it makes the broth thicker.
I'm so glad so many people have enjoyed this chili. Chili can be a comfort food and healthy at the same time. Enjoy!
This is a great recipe.I do mine with a few changes,instead of browning the chicken,I start with a quart of chicken broth and cook the chicken breasts in it until opaque.Then I remove the breasts and shred the meat,continue boiling the broth until reduced by half.Everything else is the same.A nice garnish is sour cream and seeded and minced fresh jalapeno chilies
This is a favorite receipe at our house especially on Christmas Eve. I cook it in a crock pot add 8 oz of sourcream and 3lb. of Monterey Jack cheese just before serving.
I've been searching for a chicken chili recipe. I've tried others that bored me to tears because they were so bland. This one is wonderful! I did poach then shred the chicken. I used one can of diced chili peppers and one can of Rotel tomatoes with green chili peppers because this was what I had on hand and because another member did the same and said it worked. Great recipe! Thank you!!!

The most massive planet in our solar system -- with dozens of moons and an enormous magnetic field -- Jupiter forms a kind of miniature solar system. It resembles a star in composition, but did not grow big enough to ignite. The planet's swirling cloud stripes are punctuated by massive storms such as the Great Red Spot, which has raged for hundreds of years.

The Sharks added another goal at the 9:54 mark. Patrick Marleau sent a pass to Couture in front of the net. The puck deflected off Couture and crossed the goal line. The play was reviewed to make sure Couture didn't intentionally kick the puck in, but the goal was upheld.

Higgins got the Canucks on the board at the 17:26 mark of the second frame. His shot from the right hash got past Niemi to make it 3-1.

I'd give Asomugha whatever he wants. The guy takes out the opponents #1 guy no matter who he is.
We have about 7 million in dead cap because of JT, McCown, Feely, Lehan, Peelle, and Hagan.
Remember, Crowder, Carey, Goodman, Hill, Bell are all free agents along with Crocker and Moses. All those contracts are gone.
Add it all up and its about 30 million. Figure Holliday and Wilford are potential cuts, and we are looking at 35 million under the cap. We can pretty much sign whoever we want, but I think we stay away from the extreme 10+ million a year high priced free agents.

My Cap Page:
Thats my cap sheet, and you bet its right! -->> AWESOME INFO thank you. DAMN thats alot of money.
wow thats a lot of money to mess with. i think most of us were in the woom the last time the fins had that much money to mess with
cant wait for the offseason to fully start. But I would not want B.Edwards in a dolphins uniform people used to hate on chambers and I feel like edwards is a carbon copy of chambers. He drops the ball way to much.
i found a site that lists us at 30.9 mil under the cap
If you read the preface on the salary cap I wrote on that website, I currently have 43 contracts on the cap page. That 30.9 million only takes 43 contracts into account. I estimated the 2009 cap to be 123 million. Cap's take the top 51 contracts into count. Usually, the last few top contracts to be counted against the top 51 are minimum salary contracts, like rookies or special teams guys or backups.
I havent accounted for any camp fodder or minor roster signings, which Miami will make a lot of. (When I say fodder or minor contracts, I mean like Anthony Armstrong - 310k, Scorpio Barbers - 310k, Will Billingsley - 310k, Chris Brown - 310k, Joe Cohen - 310k, Lex Hilliard - 310k, Erik Walden - 385k, Matt McChesney - 460k, etc.) I think Miami will make a lot of those minor and camp fodder signings, and releases, and tracking each one of them and updating a minimum contract with another minimum contract is a very tedious job and usually results in no net change on the salary cap.
For comparison and estimating purposes heading into free agency, if you add 8 contracts (which because I am counting 43 contracts, 8 more are needed for the top 51 rule) at about 500k each (estimated minimum salary of camp fodder contracts), thats another 4 million, which would put us about 26 million under the cap if we counted 51 contracts.
There have been a few other media outlets which have put us at 24.5 million under the cap, which is pretty close to my estimated 26 million taking the top 51 rule into account.
Factor in rookie signings and us carrying about 2 million in cap space throughout the season if we needed to make an emergency signing, and we probably have around 20 million to spend in free agency if we wanted to. Thats the number to know.
I usually update my page 4-5 times a year at every major point during the NFL season so check back for updates.
why does the dead cap count? shouldn't it come off for 2009?

We are delighted to announce that The Spy's Choirbook has received the coveted Gramophone Early Music Award for 2015. The ceremony will take place in London on 17 September in St John's Smith Square.
For further information see: http://www.gramophone.co.uk/awards/2015/early-music
The Gramophone
Promotional video for Anne Boleyn's Songbook, scheduled for release in the Autumn of 2015 (earlier via Amazon).
Anne Boleyn is famously the the most notorious of Henry VIII's six wives. She was brought up in France and for a time was under the guardianship of Margaret of Austria, who was patron some of the most famous composers in all of Europe. It is here where the young Anne developed her keen musical tastes, and when a collection of her favourite works began to be assembled into what is now known as the Anne Boleyn Songbook (Royal College of Music, MS 1070).
Alamire Press Office
The Spy's Choirbook reaches No. 2 in the Official Classical Charts in the first week of release.
GRAMOPHONE EDITOR'S CHOICE (January 2015)
"...what we have here is a complete recording of the entire choirbook in its manuscript order: 34 four-voice motets from the first decade of the century by French and Franco-Flemish composers, giving a magnificent panorama of the repertory. Most of them have never been recorded before ... sounding gorgeous throughout." - David Fallows
The Times
David Skinner & Alamire recently toured the USA headlining the American Choral Directors' Association Western Division 50th Anniversary Conference in Santa Barbara, before travelling on to Indianapolis and Lubbock.
David also gave a key-note lecture at ACDA on the 'Origins of the English Choral Tradition and how the English Sing' before the group gave two back-to-back performances to a packed house in the historic Santa Barbara Mission 'Music and the Reformation in the 16th Century; Via Anglica' including works by Lambe, Taverner, Tallis & Byrd.
Tallis Psalter: Psalms and Anthems, Canticles, Preces and Responses is the first complete edition of the Psalter, allowing, for the first time in centuries, a performance within the Anglican liturgy. Also in this volume are Tallis's surviving English anthems, including popular works such as If ye love me and Hear the voice and prayer, and lesser-known miniatures such as A new commandment and Purge me, O Lord, the evening Dorian Service, and Preces and Responses for five voices.
Novello & Co.: http://www.musicroom.com/se/id_no/01070227/details.html
The Trinity Carol Roll (Trinity College, Cambridge, MS O.3.58) is the earliest source for the English polyphony carol. The thirteen works preserved in this manuscript include the patriotic 'Agincourt' carol, celebrating Henry V's victory over the French in 1415, and the most famous of all early English carols 'Ther is no rose'. The performances on this recording offer a fresh take on medieval instrumentation, and include the gothic harp, psaltery, plectrum lute, recorder and the etherial gemshorn, while the recording itself took place in the Wren Library in Trinity College, Cambridge.
"... music of outstanding quality ... luminous timbre ... the purity of tone and accuracy of tuning throughout this programme are about as fine as I have ever heard ... a sumptuous wash of sound that is at the same time highly intelligible ... beautifully produced." Andrew O'Connor (International Record Review)
"... exquisitely performed ... David Skinner negotiates these expansive, arching textures with poise and insight ... breathtaking" - Anthony Pryer (BBC Music Magazine)
"Alamire's singing approaches perfection" - Stephen Pettit (The Sunday Times)
Germany's top agent for early music ensembles - Erika Esslinger Konzertagentur - has recently signed Alamire for events in Germany from 2012. Look out for us in Nurnberg and Stuttgart very soon!
This 10-year project is conceived in three periods each of 10 volumes: I Medieval Music; II The Tudor Reformations; and III The Golden Age of Elizabeth and the Stuart Kings. The series will be accompanied by an illustrated companion to the series by David Skinner to be issued by a leading publisher.
The project was recently featured in Gramophone on-line. The article may be read here.

School board members agreed Wednesday to place a five-year, 7.9-mill emergency operating levy on the May ballot.
The decision came after a nearly hour-long discussion of four options ranging from 4.9 to 7.9 mills, with board members ultimately concurring the largest option was the only "workable" one.
The levy would generate nearly $1.8 million a year for the district, costing the owner of a $100,000 home about $240 a year.
"Every person I've contacted has told me to ask for what we need — we need to go beyond just getting through one year," board member Jodi Harris said. "It's not fair to our community or our students."
The district is projected to run a deficit of nearly $75,000 in the 2013-2014 school year and more than $2.5 million in 2014-2015, according to its five-year forecast. Its budget is about $14 million.
If voters approve the May levy, however, the district could see a surplus of about $894,000 in the 2013-2014 school year and about $209,000 in 2014-2015. The district would still face a deficit of more than $1 million by 2016.
"We're asking for a bare minimum 7.9 mills — I know it doesn't sound right," board member Mark Miller said.
If approved, board members said the funds could possibly eliminate pay-to-play athletic fees and pay for additional elementary school teachers.
"Instead of focusing on cuts for the next couple of years we could focus on students again," board member Mark Suhanic said. "It's up to the community to take care of us. We can't wait for the state to do it any longer."
About 20 people attended Wednesday's meeting.
Matt McClester, a Berlin Heights resident and district parent, opened the meeting's discussion speaking in favor of a 4.9-mill or 5.9-mill levy option. He still remains a
levy advocate after the board's decision.
"I'll support any option, but many people I've talked to said the best way to get it passed is a smaller levy," McClester said. "But if 7.9 mills is what's needed, they're really in a catch-22."
The district hasn't approved an emergency operating levy since May 2005, treasurer Anne Arnold said. Voters most recently rejected a 3.5-mill option in November.
Levy Proposal
Millage: 7.9
Length: Five years
Would generate: $1.8 million a year
Cost: Annual cost to owner of $100,000 home would be about $240
Use: Would pay for day-to-day expenses, including salaries and benefits for employees, utilities, classroom supplies, maintenance of property and buildings, among other services
Note: All figures rounded
