Recipe by DARIA K
"This is a delicious stroganoff recipe. It's very easy and very tasty, using round steak along with mushrooms, onions, and chives. Try serving it over hot, buttered noodles."
Hmm. None of these ingredients are on sale today.

1 1/2 pounds
top round steak, cut into strips
salt and pepper to taste
onion, chopped
1 (10.75 ounce) can
condensed cream of mushroom soup
1 (8 ounce) can
canned mushrooms
1/4 cup
1 tablespoon
dried chives
1 clove
garlic, minced
1 teaspoon
Worcestershire sauce
1 cube
beef bouillon
1/4 cup
white wine
1 tablespoon
all-purpose flour
1 (16 ounce) container
sour cream
1/2 cup
chopped fresh parsley
Soooo good! I dissolved the beef bouillon in 1 Tbl. water before adding. I used 1/2 the sour cream, as others suggested (light or fat-free sour cream works just fine), and it was perfect! I also used a package of fresh mushrooms, layered last on the top. Mine needed to cook only 5 hours on low. My preference is thickly sliced onions, instead of chopped ones, and to stir in the sour cream just before serving. Serve on a platter with egg noodles around the edges, and the beef stroganoff in the middle - very pretty display. Steamed broccoli goes well with this dish. One note: I made this once with double the meat, so I doubled the sauce ingredients -- bad idea! It had WAY too much liquid. Next time I double the meat, I will leave the other ingredients as stated. Note: After reading another review, I decided to sprinkle the meat with garlic powder as well, increase the Worcestershire to 1 Tbl., increase the garlic to 2 cloves, leave off the bouillon and water, increase the wine to 1/2 cup, and add 1 Tbl. cornstarch in addition to the flour (I mixed it with the wine). All WONDERFUL suggestions. Big difference in the flavor & thickness of the sauce (had been too watery before). Thanks for the recipe!
Good base recipe - but I had to change so many things to make it perfect (and succeeded after several tries). Therefore, can only give it 3 stars. I used beef stew meat instead of top round steak, a whole onion instead of half, 8 ounces of fresh mushrooms instead of canned, 2 cloves of garlic instead of 1, a tablespoon of worcestershire sauce instead of just a teaspoon, 1/2 cup of red wine instead of 1/4 cup of white wine and 1/4 cup of water, a tablespoon of cornstarch in addition to the flour, just 8 ounces of sour cream instead of 16, and added 4 ounces of cream cheese. I followed the same directions, except adding the fresh mushrooms at the end for just the last hour of cooking. So, after all of those changes - it has become THE Stroganoff recipe for our family!

This is an excellent base recipe. I made quite a few changes, and it turned out great. The cut of meat should probably be beef stewing meat, it does better than a lean cut in a slow cooker. I used fresh mushrooms, green onions instead of chives, beef broth in place of bouillon and wine, and only used 8 oz. sour cream. To thicken it up more, I added 4 oz. cream cheese with the sour cream, and I also boiled my noodles til al dente' and added them to the crock. After an hour, it was the perfect consistency. Thanks so much!
My family LOVED this. My husband called it "restaurant quality." From a slow cooker!! I read all the comments and proceeded like this: I used London broil cuz that's what i always use for stroganoff. I used fresh mushrooms instead of canned. I used red wine in place of the white wine and water; beef needs red wine, not white. I opted for the suggestion to replace the sour cream with 4 oz. of cream cheese and 8 oz. of sour cream (added 30 minutes before serving). I whisked a couple of tablespoons of cornstarch with some of the sauce and whisked that mixture back into the pot right before the addition of the sour cream/cream cheese. The sauce ended with a perfect consistency and exceptional flavor. I served it with a spinach salad. This is a real keeper!
This was quite good! I miss the meaty, floured and pan-fried taste of the traditional stroganoff but the sauce was just excellent. My husband, the traditional stroganoff fan said, "This is savory stuff you've made here." The last time I tried a crock pot stroganoff dish he wasn't thrilled with it. But I've learned to recognize when a recipe doesn't have enough spices for us and to add more in.
With this recipe I added a couple shakes of minced onions, garlic salt, Lawry's seasoned salt, and garlic powder. I went heavy on the pepper and it turned out just right. I used 2 tsp beef boullion granules (not sure if that's equal to a cube but it worked), 2 tsp worcestershire, chicken stock instead of water and wine, and a little dash of old champagne because I didn't have white wine handy. Used small can of mushrooms as well as 8oz pkg fresh mushrooms. That works out really well if you're a mushroom lover like us. Doubled the minced garlic to two cloves. May bring it down to just one next time since I also sprinkle garlic powder.
Definitely taste the sauce before you let it simmer for 8 hours. If it doesn't have enough flavor, add more spices in upfront. We used about 12oz sour cream. My husband likes the taste of sour cream. I asked him if he'd like more and he said it was perfect as is.
This is a great recipe! I did make changes to it to fit our lifestyle. I substituted eye of round for the meat. I substituted 4 large fresh Portobello mushrooms for the canned. I also substituted lite sour cream for the full-fat (cuts down on the fat content tremendously!). To help with the extra moisture created by the fresh mushrooms, I mixed about 1 tablespoon of corn starch with the wine before adding to the crock pot. I make this often, especially in the colder months!
I used stewing beef for this recipe which i had soaked in about a 1/4 cup of red wine first..i used beef broth instead of the bouillon and a little less sour cream, i had fresh mushrooms on hand as well as canned..the fresh mushrooms are the way to go ..big difference...it turned out very well..with the cheaper stewing beef coming out very tender!! will make again..
This is amazing. I sauted the onions and mushrooms before adding to the pot and I added a half package of Lipton onion soup mix. I already want to make this again, everyone in the family loved it!

"Although this work will be most useful for an upper-level undergraduate audience, more advanced readers will also enjoy it for its readability, the considerable breadth of literature covered, and its serious attempt to place children at the forefront of anthropology." (Journal of the Finnish Anthropological Society, 1 April 2011)
"Heather Montgomery illustrates the many ways that anthropologists have written about children over the past 150 years with enviable clarity and economy. Her book will be required reading for students, academics, and professionals in understanding childhood in context." (Journal of Folklore Research, 19 January 2011)
"An Introduction to Childhood is nicely written and makes the case well for undergraduate audiences that it is important to consider cultural differences in ideas about childhood. This is a timely issue and the book should be a useful addition to introductory undergraduate courses." (International Joumal of Sociology of the Family, February 2010)
"A timely, readable, and important work for all academic libraries. Summing Up: Highly recommended." (CHOICE, October 2009)
"This book deserves a wide audience; it is an important resource not only for students of anthropology but also to people working in child protection in cross-cultural settings. ... Invaluable." (Children & Society, 2009)
"Throughout the book, the discussions give an insight into classic and contemporary anthropology related to children, which is important for everyone working with research in similar fields. The book is especially relevant for students. The style is clear and approachable … .Although it is not required of the reader to read the book from cover to cover, I strongly recommend doing so." (Childhood in the Past, 2009)"This book provides a fascinating and comprehensive overview of the social anthropology of childhood, drawing on a range of material generated over the past century. It is written in an engaging, accessible style, and will be required reading for students, academics and professionals interested in understanding childhoods in contexts."
—Viginia Morrow, Reader in Childhood Studies, Institute of Education, University of London
"In this clearly written and informative book Heather Montgomery
demonstrates the important contribution that contemporary
perspectives on children's lives can make to the older
anthropological tradition.....a valuable addition to the
—Allison James, University of Sheffield
"This marvelous volume fills a long-standing need for a thorough
history of anthropology's interest in childhood. There is excellent
coverage of topics central in current thinking about child
development such as discipline and sexuality as well as topics such
as spirit children that are unique to anthropology. Montgomery's
writing is engaging and accessible and this work should be warmly
welcomed by scholars and their students."
—David Lancy, Utah State University
"Dr. Heather Montgomery has provided the field with an important
resource for introducing our students to the invaluable
contributions anthropology has made to understanding children and
childhood. The volume is wide-ranging in scope covering both
classic and contemporary issues."
—Jill Korbin, Associate Dean, Professor of Anthropology, Director, Schubert Center for Child Studies, Case-Western Reserve University
"Based on close reading of ethnographic texts, this book
synthesises the many ways that anthropologists have written about
children over the years with an enviable clarity and economy.
Eminently readable, it will be of interest to those both outside
anthropology and outside academia who have any interest in the
world's children. The chapter on the many ways of thinking about
unborn children is particularly fine and forces us to consider more
deeply our own understanding of humanity and personhood."
—Laurence Brockliss, Director of Centre for the History of Childhood, University of Oxford

This week I am sharing a delicious
First I just had to tell you that Maddy would be in Prague right about now-lucky thing!
As much as I am missing Maddy, I have really enjoyed spending lots of one-on-one time with Big Al. I think he has enjoyed having his Dad and Mum all to himself too. Yesterday we went to the movies and we have also had fun spending time with my sisters and their kids. He also went to a friend's house for a sleepover so I had two whole days all to myself!
I've also been pottering around the house and trying to get rid of a few things. This time last year I was doing a big Spring Clean at our place and what do you know... I'm back at it again this year! I'm doing my usual magazine cull and have been trying some of the recipes from older issues that I hadn't made before.
One recipe that caught my eye was this one for a Pasta Stackup with Chicken Sausage from the September 2010 issue of +Better Homes and Gardens
This Pasta Stackup with Chicken Sausagelooked so delicious I knew I had to make it.
The recipe for the Pasta Stackup with Chicken Sausage is still available on line at the Better Homes and Gardens site and I really recommend this dish if you are trying to cut down on your carbs but still crave pasta! It also makes an easy and delicious #SundaySupper
6 lasagna noodles
1 cup dried tomato halves (not oil packed), coarsely chopped
6 cloves garlic, minced
1 pound fully cooked chicken sausage links, cut in half and then into large pieces
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 5-ounce bag baby spinach
Sea salt and freshly ground pepper
Shaved Parmesan to garnish
Prepare the lasagna noodles according to package directions, drain (reserving 1 cup of the cooking liquid, and set aside.
Put the chopped sundried tomatoes and the garlic into a bowl and add the reserved cooking liquid.
Place the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat and then add the sausage. Cook the sausage, turning frequently, until heated through and then stir in the garlic mixture and cook for 2 minutes.
Add the spinach and a few pinches of salt and pepper, stir to combine and then remove the pan form the heat.
Layer the lasagna noodles and the sausage mixture into a stack and then garnish with some shaved Parmesan. Serve immediately.
I changed a few things around though, as you do! We used Gluten Free pasta sheets, I cut the sausage into quarters, I added some spinach leaves to some cooked tomatoes and onions and I also used baby bocconcini cheese rather than parmesan.
I also served the dish with an Italian side salad made with tomatoes, basil and bocconcini cheese drizzled with aged balsamic vinegar and EVOO.
Now onto this week's Say G'Day party!
If you have been crafting, baking, planning, gardening or organising a party this week I would love it if you could share your favourite post of the week with me at this weekend's Linky Party.

52 Weeks of Blogging Abundance: Week 33
This past week, I had a phone conversation with Thomas Macentee, a professional genealogist, speaker, and otherwise a really great guy from Chicago, Ill. Thomas runs the excellent website and service, Geneabloggers.com, which is a network of over 2000 Genealogy blogs. (I'm a member with my own genealogy blog here on FamilyTreeCircles.)
I contacted Thomas to see how we might work together to help foster the growth of more genealogy bloggers.
The first thing we came up with is that Thomas was kind enough to allow me to use the 52 Weeks of Blogging Abundance genealogy blogging prompts. Every week there is a new topic to act as inspiration for a blog post, or to simply think about and reflect on in your own genealogy research.
As FamilyTreeCircles is essentially a blogging platform (which is just a place to write online), I thought it would be fun for people to use these weekly prompts here on FamilyTreeCircles.

Help Support FamilyTreeCircles
When I started FamilyTreeCircles nearly a decade ago, I never imagined it would grow to nearly 100,000 members. It's humbling to be able to provide a resource that has brought so many people together in the common interest.
FamilyTreeCircles has always been a labor of love for me, but with the growing membership, usage, continuing to add new features, and fighting spammers, costs grow as well.
What you may not know about me is that as an entrepreneur, I actually run another web startup. This takes 60-80 hours of my time every week, and I have little left for much else. If you're interested, that's a web publishing platform called Shareist. I think it is a great resource for genealogists.
I would never have been able to even get this far without the patience and support of the people who use FamilyTreeCircles every day, and particularly those who volunteer to help moderate the activity. It's truly a wonderful community. I'd like to not only keep things running, but do even more.
For example, one thing that I've tried to start up several times, but have not been able to do so because of the costs is a periodic newsletter with great genealogy stories and content, as well as featuring fun stuff from FamilyTreeCircles members. But the cost of doing so has been prohibitive. I'd love to be able to do this as well as continue to add more features.
From the start, I promised that FamilyTreeCircles would be a free resource and I have no intentions of going back on that. Over the years, I have received generous offers from people that they would be more than willing to pay for this resource.
In response to that, I've finally added a way to do that, for those with the means to do so, while keeping the service free for the rest.
If you enjoy FamilyTreeCircles and want to see it continue on as a strong and independent genealogy resource, I hope you'll consider contributing even a small amount to its upkeep and further development. If you cannot, no hard feelings here.

I'll be the first to admit that most poorly crafted area of FamilyTreeCircles has been the user profile pages. And as I've been making improvements to the platform, I'd also say that it's been the most neglected.
This week I've taken steps to resolve that with an entirely newly designed user profile.
Your Own Home Page
Your user profile on FamilyTreeCircles is now your genealogy homepage. Your own journals and posts are featured prominently in chronological order, newest first. Until now, your own journals were relegated to a list, and reading them was an exercise in clicking around a lot.
Now your homepage is a very easy-to-read list of all your journals. As you post journals, your latest ones appear at the top.
This makes it very easy for other FamilyTreeCircles members, and even people searching the Internet for the information that you write about, to find and read your journals.
That means more people see your journals, which means that your information and your own queries are seen by more people, resulting in a higher chance that you'll connect with distant cousins and researchers looking for the same ancestors.
Here's what the new profile page looks like:
Hey, This Sounds and Looks Like a Blog
Essentially, your FamilyTreeCircles profile page is a blog. Blog comes from the words Web Log. A blog is quite simply a web page containing a log of your writing. Web log...weblog...'blog.
The writing activity that you do posting Journals on FamilyTreeCircles is no different than that of "bloggers" that we hear so much about.
Now in addition to how your journals were seen before in the activity lists, your information is organized like a blog and you get all the benefits of blogging:
- Research: By getting your and your genealogy research out there, people who are researching the same ancestors will find you. You may even break down some brick walls just by posting them for others to find and help you out.
- Sharing: Posting your genealogy information helps others, and many times it comes back
- Connecting: There are countless connections that people make with distant and lost relatives through publishing a blog.
- Community: The genealogy blogging community is a friendly, helpful group of genealogists, professionals and hobbyists alike. By starting a blog of your own
- Fun: Writing can be a fun, creative way to express yourself. Some people even think it's therapeutic.
The good news is that just by signing up for FamilyTreeCircles, you now have a blog.
How cool does that make you?
View your new profile here. Or click on the "Your Home" link in the header.
Here are a few great FamilyTreeCircles profiles to take a look at for inspiration:
Getting Help on Using FamilyTreeCircles
- Check out the FAQ page.
- Use the contact us form. This is best for issues like password problems, since you cannot use some of the other options without logging in.
- Send me a private message.
- Drop into the FamilyTreeCircles campfire chat. You can not only chat with me, but with other FamilyTreeCircles members, if they're in there.
- If you have a question that you think someone other than the owner of FamilyTreeCircles can answer, comment on this post. That increases the chances of getting a quick answer AND allows other to benefit from your question.
Getting ready for some pretty major changes. And a chance at a Sneak Peek...
I've been hard at work on some pretty significant changes here on FamilyTreeCircles, big enough that I want to roll this out a little more carefully than I usually do.
For now, the only noticeable change is the header.
If yours doesn't look like that with the black bar at the top, try holding down the shift key while hitting the reload (or refresh) button on your browser. Or just wait and it'll update eventually.
So what's changing?
I've completely redesigned the user profile page. My goal is to make your user profile the hub of your activity, a much nicer home for you here on FamilyTreeCircles. The default view will be a full view of all your journals, formatted much like a blog. That way, anyone who follows your every post can easily see what you've been writing. If you organize your posts into categories, that will be much more visible. And your Assist! locations and surnames will be featured prominently as well.
In fact, it's going to be a lot like having your own blog, which is where I am headed with this.
And speaking of following, I'll be reintroducing he concept of "follow"ing. By following someone, you will be able to keep track of their new stuff.
When's it coming?
I'm still testing it out, but if you would like a sneak peek, just comment here on this post and I'll turn it on for you.
I'll probably grow impatient and make it available in the next few days, but I'd love to get some feedback first.
Again, just comment below if you'd like to try it out and give me some feedback.

I like Mirai's skating, and her energy, quickness, and playfulness. But I'm not her uber loyal fan. If this thread posters accept me, I might come here again sometimes later. If not, I'll certainly never come again like some other fan thread.
Thanks Mrs. P. for starting a Mirai thread. I have always been a fan of her skating. The past couple of seasons she
had some difficulties. Let's hope with the coaching change that we will see a renewed Mira and her beautiful skating again.

I fell in love with Mirai at the Olympics, and I've been waiting ever since for her to become a major international threat, but it hasn't happened yet. Hopefully this will be her season. Good luck, Mirai!
Here is Mirai's LP from Finlandia.....
Sure there was a few mistakes -but I reallyt like it!
Thank you janetfan! I love this program for Mirai and she should be very happy with that performance.
GS did two interviews with Mirai:

Great article. Sounds like Mirai is in a good place...fingers crossed that she delivers at Nationals. I wouldn't be sorry to see her on the Worlds team.
It's such a pity that she squandered her momentum from the 2010 Olympics and really did not take advantage of the poor overall level of ladies skating these past few years to win a few titles.
Glad to hear Mirai is in a better place these days. I agree she has a great shot at the World team.

Running SpectraView II with Win7 Laptop
February 21, 2012, 12:56:35 PM »
I had been running SpectraView II calibration for my NEC Multisync 3090WQXi on my older WinXP desktop without issue. In that configuration the NEC is connected with a DVI-D connector/cable from the DVI-D output connector on the desktop display driver card. When trying to run SpectraView II using my new Dell M4600 Win7 Pro laptop, I had to get a Display Port to Dual Link DVI-D adapter to run from the Display Port on the laptop (there is no Dual Link DVI-D connector on the laptop) through the DVI-D cable/connector to the NEC monitor in order to run the NEC monitor at its full 2560x1600 resolution. The calibration of the NEC fails, however, using this setup. I have had multiple discussions with both Dell and NEC. NEC blames the adapter, and Dell blames the peculiar (?) EDID and DDC_CI communication required by SpectraView II and which appears to be lacking through the Display Port/adapter, as deciphered by the NEC diagnostic software. I've tried 2 different adapters, one by Bizlink and another by Startech, both giving the same result.
I am posting in hopes that someone else may have experienced and possibly solved this problem?
As a fallback position, I could continue to calibrate using the old XP desktop and otherwise run the monitor with my new laptop, but as the WinXP desktop ages further, this will at some point become problematic.

Since you have already spoken to NEC you have probably already tried these things but have you downloaded the latest version of spectraview? Have you tried updating your drivers for your graphics card using windows 7's device manager? I suspect your graphics card just can't support a resolution that big, but I am no expert on these things. I don't think the problem is with the display port/DVI adapter, as I am using one (from StarTeck)between my Dell Latitude E6400 XP laptop and NEC 2490wuxi2. But that is running at 1920X1200 resolution.
One more thing you can try is switching the inputs on your monitor. If it is like mine it has one DVI-I and one DVI-D. Does the problem persist on both?
Good Luck.

Thanks for your reply. Yes, I am running the latest SpectraView II (1.1.9-1) and have the latest driver from Dell for the graphics card. With the display port to dual link DVI-D adapter, I can drive the NEC at full resolution, 2560x1600. That is not the problem. The problem is that SpectraView II is not supported through the Display Port to dual link DVI-D adapter at full resolution, and hence I cannot calibrate my monitor from the new laptop at that resolution. I do not have a native DVI-D adapter on my laptop, only Display Port, and the DVI-D adapter on my E-Port replicator is not dual link. I have tried running SpectraView II through the VGA connector on the laptop and it works fine, but only at 1920X1200 resolution. There seems to be something about the display port to dual link DVI-D adapter that is not truly replicating a native dual link DVI-D connector.

Re: Running SpectraView II with Win7 Laptop - E-Port Replicator docking station
Reply #3 on:
August 02, 2012, 02:22:26 PM »
Did you sort this out? I'd like to use a similar setup and have a M6500 and a NEC2690 with Spectraview II that is currently used with another computer. I'd like to get a docking station (E-Port replicator, Dell YP126 / 430-3114), and profile the laptop and monitor each. Do I need another adapter to add dual-link connection to the monitor?

Unfortunately, I have not sorted this out. At this time I am unsure if there is a solution with my current NEC Multisync 3090WQXi and Dell M4600 laptop running SpectraViewII. I ended up loading Win7 on my old
(for Lightroom) and am using a DVI-D cable between the DVI-D connection on the graphics card to the NEC DVI-D connector. This connection apparently supports the needed EDID and DDC_CI communication protocol required by SpectraViewII, and worked with WinXP previously, as I reported in my original post. I am not totally happy with this arrangement because my desktop is a bit dated with an Intel Core 2 Duo CPU and it bogs down running Lightroom.
What I believe you need is a
Dual Link
DVI-D capability on your laptop graphics card that gets carried out through the port replicator. My laptop is lacking the Dual Link DVI-D connector and the DVI-D connectors on my port replicator are apparently not dual link. So, if, like me, you have only a Display Port on your laptop and are lacking the fully functional (i.e., supports the EDID and DDC_CI communication protocol required by SpectraViewII) Dual Link DVI-D connector on your port replicator, I believe you will be in the same boat as me and out of luck.
I believe on their newer monitors, NEC now uses a USB cable to carry the required EDID and DDC_CI communication protocol required by SpectraViewII between the monitor and the computer. This arrangement circumvents the need for the Dual Link DVI-D pathway to carry the EDID and DDC_CI communication protocol, and would allow me to run with the Display Port to Dual Link DVI-D adapter which I purchased. Unfortunately, this option is not available on the older NEC monitors like mine. I suspect, your 2690 is similar to my 3090 in that regard.
I have toyed with the idea of selling my 3090 and upgrading to one of the newer NEC monitors just so I can run Lightroom on my laptop without it bogging down so much. It does seem a shame to have to do this with an otherwise perfectly functional monitor, and for that reason I have not yet gone in that direction.
I hope I have helped. If you find a solution to this, I would certainly appreciate hearing back from you, perhaps by private email. I try to check this post from time to time, but it hasn't aroused much attention.
Good luck,

Howdy Brad,
So our trouble is that the laptops no longer have DVI, and the docking stations interrupt the communications needed for profiling.
I have the LCD2690WUXi, and might like to retire the desktop workstation it's connected to and primarily use a single machine. I'm also tempted to get a 30" monitor, as I've been investing in my office setup relieving back strain and the eye doc says sitting further from the display protects the eyes. My office also cooks during summer and turning off the desktop is a blessing. Like your LCD3090WQXi my monitor has only DVI inputs, but the newer PA301W has DVI and Displayport plus USB. So if I get the new display, all should be well using Displayport or docking station DVI for video and a second USB cable for calibration. I'm weighing my options, including a used/return PA301 at B&H that shaves a few dollars if it doesn't have pixel issues.
In the meantime, have you considered this adapter: StarTech.com DP2DVID ($110/Amazon)
The 2690 at 1920 x 1200 can use a cheaper adapter: StarTech.com DP2DVIS ($28/Amazon)
Apparently there's additional communications that a regular Displayport lacks that is available in a Displayport Plus-Plus connection that these laptops lack but the active adapters compensate for. All stuff I really don't care to learn. Perhaps it's worth trying the adapter and enjoying Amazon's accommodating return policy if it doesn't help?

Hi Ralph,
Thanks for the comments.
I did try the Startech DP2DVID adapter, but unfortunately, it did not work any better than the BizLink adapter I already had.
I suppose I'll just have to spring for the new monitor at some point. Perhaps there is someone out there that will be interested in the old one, which works perfectly well with a properly equipped desktop system.

Hi Brad,
Suppose it's safe to assume that you've had no better luck plugging the adapter into the laptop's displayport socket as compared to the docking station? I'm still thinking about get a docking station and the smaller adapter to do a test drive.

I would not get the drivers from Dell, but then I wouldn't get anything from Dell. Have you tried downloading the latest drivers direct from Nvidia (assuming you have the Nvidia flavor of this notebook)?
I might be interested in your old monitor if you cannot resolve this and decide to get another one, but if I were you I would just do a rebuild of your desktop, upgrade the mobo, CPU, and graphics card (essentially a new computer) for about half the cost of a new 30" NEC.

Yes, I did try the laptop's display port with no joy. I can run the NEC at full 2560x1600 resolution but can't run SpectraView.
I have downloaded and installed the latest of both the Nvidia display adapter and the SpectraViewII drivers, also with no joy. Thanks for the suggestion about upgrading the mbo and CPU. That thought had actually crossed my mind, but I haven't taken the leap yet. I guess I'll have to pull the side off my tower box and have a look, as it is starting to appear that may be my best solution. I've never replaced a mbo before, but maybe it isn't that big of a deal. Before I sell my current display, I would want to confirm that my laptop would work with the newer NEC displays. I guess that would involve taking the laptop into a local(?) dealer for NEC and see if they would be willing to let me give it a try.

I received the StarTech DP2DVIS active adapter sized to the 1920 x 1200 LCD2690 display, am running it directly from the laptop and Spectraview seems to calibrate successfully (I don't have a docking station yet). I still need to learn how to check which profile is being used for which monitor (laptop vs. external) - can someone walk me thru that? Meaning that I have both the laptop screen and external monitor in use and don't want the Spectraview profile applied to the laptop (and they never looked the same in the first place even with calibration).

Happy to hear you were successful getting SpectraView to run using the StarTech DP2DVID adapter, presumably connected to the display port on your laptop. I wonder if there is some additional capability in the M6500 display port that is not in my M4600's port, enabling support of SpectraView. I'm afraid I can't help with the calibration assignment question as I have not gotten SpectraView to work at all with my M4600.

Back again,
The day after first successfully using the Startech DP2DVIS adapter the monitor communications were lost. Just got off the phone with NEC support tech who told me couple things that helped:
1. In the bottom box of the Spectraview II software (v9 or v10, tech told me to avoid v12), the display #2 was shown as the LCD2690WUXi but with no communications. Selection the wrench icon at the lower right and then in this "Display Configuration" make sure that Display 2 is identified in the drop-down as the NEC monitor. Once this was selected, communication was restored.
2. In Windows 7 device manager, the monitor only showed up as Generic PnP Monitor, but the NEC Monitor Installer Software download (v0.12.08.02) then changed it so the LCD2690WUXi(Digital) appears. I think this downloaded new generic profiles and re-calibrated afterwards.
I could see the .icc profile names for the different monitors in the Windows 7 Color Management, and see all the profiles in C:\Windows\System32\spool\drivers\color.
If I didn't have instant luck with the Startech adapter the 1st time, I might have just blamed the hardware. I'm not sure if I'm going to get a docking station just yet or hold off. The NEC tech said that Dell is aware of the docking station communication breaks and has fixed hardware for specialized radiology setups, so perhaps a future docking station will better support simpler monitors that don't have separate USB communications. FWIW, my Dell M6500 has a Nvidia Quadro FX 2800M video card.

My M4600 has a Nvidia Quadro 2000M. Maybe there is a better video card for the M4600 that would somehow support SpectraView through the display port. Perhaps I will pursue this someday, but it has all become somewhat moot for now. . .
I have decided to upgrade my desktop system (which works with SpectraView) to solve the slow Lightroom performance issue--along the lines of the suggestion from Roscolo.
Thanks again, Ralph, for trying to help.

Regarding upgrade of your desktop, you can certainly do this yourself. I can make some suggestions if you post your existing desktop system specs here. I do a desktop rebuild about every 3-4 years. Sometimes I upgrade. This last time I built entirely new (I did upgrade my old Asus p5w dh deluxe / intel q6600 system for my wife, just added an SSD and a GTX 520 and that 5 yr. old system is now quite brisk). For myself I did an entirely new build. Here are my specs to give you an idea:
Motherboard: Asrock Z68 Fatal1ty Professional Gen3
CPU: Intel i7 2600k
RAM: GSkill 4x4GB 1333
Operating System: Win 7 Ult 64 (and I multi-boot Win XP 32bit)
Primary HD: Crucial m4 128GB (have a bunch of additional drives and there is room for A LOT of expansion on this Asrock motherboard
Graphics Card: EVGA GTX 560ti
Power Supply: NZXT Hale90 650W
CPU Cooler: NZXT Havik 140
Case: AzzA Hurrican 2000 Full Tower Case (LOVE this case!)
RAM prices have gone rock bottom since I build this system a year ago, and I bought the pieces for it almost entirely from Newegg, picking up pieces as they were on sale. Love this motherboard. The easiest, fastest build I have ever done. Boots in about 10 seconds. Less than 6 hours to do it all. Used the rather spiffy onboard z68 video until the Nvidia GTX 560ti went on sale. Total cost right around $1,300 when I bought. Prices on this stuff now would put it closer to $1,000. If you pay someone to build a system with these specs, you're looking at twice that amount.
It is easy to do, and once you build your own system for your actual needs with quality components, you will never buy prebuilt again.

Sorry for not responding in a while.
Roscolo, thanks for the offer of assistance on a new system. I had actually already pulled the trigger on my new system from the local Microcenter store just before your posted offer. Microcenter did the assembly and I did the OS and other software installs. I was quite pleased with the knowledge of the sales person and the workmanship quality with the assembly personnel at the Microcenter. I now have my new system up and running and am very pleased with it.
My ~analogous specs are:
Motherboard: Asus P8Z77-V LGA 1155 Z77 ATX Intel Motherboard
CPU: Intel i7 2700k
RAM: Crucial Ballistix Sport 16GB DDR3-1600 (PC3-12800) CL9 Dual Channel Desktop Memory Kit (Two 8GB Memory Modules)
Operating System: Win 7 64-bit
Primary HD: Seagate Barracuda 2 TB 7200 RPM SATA
Graphics Card: Gigabyte GV-N630-2GI NVIDIA GeForce GT 630 2048MB DDR3 PCIe 2.0 x16 Video Card
Power Supply: PC Power & Cooling Silencer Mk III Series 600 Watt ATX Modular Power Supply
Case: AntecThree Hundred Two ATX Mid Tower Gaming Computer Case (even though I don't do games!)
DVD drive: Samsung 22X DVD±RW Burner with Dual Layer Support
It is such a pleasure to have Lightroom running smoothly again. No more jumpy sliders. The sliders track the mouse movements perfectly. Also, my SpectraViewII calibration runs fine using the DVI-I connection to the NEC 3090 monitor. The whole system was just under $1k.
Regarding the laptops, I have to conclude that there is some difference between the display port capabilities on your M6500 vs. on my M4600 that are probably resulting from the differences in our video cards. I didn't check to see if your Nvidia Quadro FX 2800M video card had an acceptable form factor to use in my M4600 and that may have been another solution.

Glad to hear it. That's a solid system at a good price. The only change I would have suggested is an SSD for the Primary HD to run your OS and programs from, and then add the TB drive(s) for data storage. Nice graphics card there! Glad you got it sorted. Enjoy!

CI: Forward
† Criminal InJustice is a weekly series devoted to taking action against inequities in the U.S. criminal justice system. Nancy A. Heitzeg, Professor of Sociology and Race/Ethnicity, is the Editor of CI. Criminal Injustice is published every Wednesday at 6 pm.
Editors note: Next week we will be back on task -discussing the always on-going work of dismantling the PIC, made more possible now, by yesterday's result. Today , we will celebrate the larger Victory!
We asked here for breathing room and yes we received it — many thanks to the millions who braved long lines, resisted efforts at voter suppression, defied the billions in dark money.
Yes You Did!
Thank you to OFA for creating the most relentlessly people-powered machine in the history of politics — you made it possible for us to get it done. Thanks also to President Bill Clinton and 538 Nate for #Arithmetic, for keeping it real. And of course much love and so many thanks to Give "Em Hell Harry Reid – he told the truth and shamed the devil while his Nevada operation put the state out of reach before the polls even opened on Tuesday.
More breathing room.
A special thank you too to Seeta Persaud for this inspiring space and to Kay Whitlock for her steady call to the bolder vision. I am indebted.
Thanks to all of you who regularly read CI and to those whose tireless work for justice is sometimes featured here. You know who you are..
There is always so much work to do and yes we will do it. Today, just a reminder of what we have achieved, in the form a piece i wrote last September, willing it all to be so. And it was.. Of course. much more happened between then and now — forces of nature, more enemy obfuscation, but the central theme holds nonetheless.
We were Called and We Delivered..
More Power to Us.

Roane State first baseman commits to play baseball at ETSU
Friday, July 18, 2003JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. (July 18, 2003) - East Tennessee State baseball coach Tony Skole announced Friday that Ryan Spriggs (Crossville, Tenn.), a powerful first baseman from Roane State Community College, has committed to play baseball for the Bucs beginning in the 2004 season. A left-handed hitter, Spriggs batted .362 last year for the Raiders with eight home runs and 46 RBI. Spriggs also excelled at Cumberland County High School, earning rookie-of-the-year honors in 1997 and being named to the all-district team in each of his four seasons with the Jets. "Ryan is an outstanding student and a quality young man who has an opportunity to come in and fill a specific need for us," Skole said. "He was one of the top left-handed hitters among the Tennessee junior colleges last season. Ryan has proven he has the ability to drive in runs and should add some punch to our lineup." Spriggs is the seventh commitment that the Buccaneers have received for next season's recruiting class. He joins third baseman Greg Roberts (Douglas, Ga.), infielder Josiah Glafenhein (Corryton, Tenn.), right-handed pitcher/outfielder Caleb Glafenhein (Corryton, Tenn.), right-handed pitcher/outfielder Stephen Douglas (Kennesaw, Ga.), outfielder Matt Haynes (Cumberland, Ky.) and pitcher Brandon Summey (Kingsport, Tenn.).

JVCC RW-32 Roller Wrap Tape is an embossed or dimpled siliconized cloth tape coated with an acrylic adhesive system. It is designed to protect web rollers from the buildup of adhesives, inks, coatings, and other materials in the adhesive tape manufacturing, general converting, printing, textiles and paper & film industries. It is sometimes referred to as the printer's friend. By reducing buildup on idler, feed, and take-up rollers, The specially formulated adhesive on the tape minimizes residue upon removal minimizing the amount of roller clean up required when the tape is changed which extends the life of the roller itself. JVCC RW-32 Web Roller Wrap Tape significantly reduces clean-up and maintenance times making production processes much more efficient. It's high co-efficient of friction provides an anti-slip surface and allows it to grip the web and keeps materials moving while preventing the build-up of inks, adhesives and coatings (anti-stick). Also has excellent continuous temperature resistance.

Offers the widest range of application flexibility available. Exhibits excellent processing performance whether manually or automatically applied. Has superior tensile strength, adhesion properties and holding force which ensures consistent, reliable seals. Hot melt adhesive will bond faster to a surface which is referred to as quick-grab or quick-stick. It typically has higher tack (will feel stickier to the touch), but is also softer. It has lower heat resistance, shear resistance, and sometimes UV resistance than an acrylic adhesive. NOTE: it is called hot melt because the adhesive is applied hot by the manufacturer and then hardens as it cools (you do not need to apply heat to the tape yourself).
Properties are similar to that of hot melt rubber, but natural rubber often holds where other adhesives won't (recycled fibers, dust, cold, heat and heavy loads). It provides good overall adhesion and moisture resistance.
Offer excellent performance, especially for applications in temperatures less than 40°F and greater then 120°F. It provides excellent clarity, has high shear strength, is usually more permanent/durable even when exposed to moisture, and it ages well over extended periods in fluorescent and sunlight. Since it remains clear for the life of the application and does not yellow over time it is ideal for applications such as sealing white cartons. While it has good initial adhesion it does take 24-48 hours to cure and to achieve its maximum bond strength (has gradual adhesion buildup). Another difference between hot melt rubber and acrylic adhesive is if you fold tape over making the two adhesive sides touch the acrylic adhesive will remain attached to the carrier (e.g. paper, film) while a hot melt adhesive will stick to itself and pull off of the carrier. It is the best choice for clarity, UV resistance and aging characteristics.
Is great for extreme temperature applications since silicone adhesive can work in continuous operating temperatures from -100°F to 500°F. They also exhibit good chemical resistance, retain electrical properties, and remove cleanly with little or no residue.
Zinc oxide based adhesive formula is a skin-friendly adhesive which is commonly used on sports medicine tapes.

Recipe by VALKARYN
"These savory tacos are quick and easy."
Hmm. None of these ingredients are on sale today.

avocados - peeled, pitted, and mashed
1/4 cup
onions, diced
1/4 teaspoon
garlic salt
12 (6 inch)
corn tortillas
1 bunch
fresh cilantro leaves, finely chopped
jalapeno pepper sauce, to taste
I loved this recipe, even my strictly carnivorous boyfriend enjoyed it. I brush the outside of the tortillas with a olive oil-lime juice mixture before throwing them in the oven and left them there for a little longer than the recipe called for. I garnished the tacos with some pico de gallo, chili peppers and sour cream.
This is a good idea, but it's a little boring as is. It's not much more than guacamole in a tortilla. I love avocados and eat them plain all the time, but if they're in a taco, I'd like to have other ingredients, such as tomato, lettuce, and maybe some black beans.

I thought this recipe was bland, but fun to play with. I added some shredded cheese to the tortillas and then warmed them. I added some chopped onion and tomato, and lemon juice to the avacado mixture. I also serve them with mexican rice. my hubby, and 16 month old love them, and so do I!!
While everyone else was eating their beef tacos, I was thoroughly enjoying the avacado version. I'm addicted to avacados and thought these were terrific. I used green onions, a can of mild green chiles and topped it with shredded cheddar. Delicious and thanks Karyn!
This recipe is so light and perfect for a warm summer night. I would definitely make sure to use the jalapeno pepper sauce, it brings out all of the flavors wonderfully, but without it, the dish is very plain. However, I gave this 4 stars(which it really was a border line 3-4, but since i personally liked it, i bumped it up to 4)because my family wasn't very impressed. My husband felt that there was something missing, and didn't think that guacamole smeared on top of corn tortillas with a little sauce, was a gerat meal idea. I could definatley see his point. Although I had no qualms making a meal of it, my girls hardly touched it. I really can't see myself making an entree out of this dish either, mainly because I think the key to this dish being successful is completely reliant on who you're serving it to. If you love avacado and are perfectly happy with a simple, light dish, than I would recommend it.
My husband and I love these tacos! I had some plain, with just the avocado mixture and I had some with stir-fry steak strips, just 2-3 strips per taco, and less than 1/2 pound if steak altogether. I also added more like 1/2 cup of onion. Very tasty!
This recipe seemed a little bland. I added chopped tomato, olives, and green chiles. It came out really good. My daughter & mom enjoyed it.
all things considered, with modification, this could be much better. sorry - i just wasn't impressed, and as a vegetarian married to a carnivore, i'm always on the lookout for things i can make for myself when i cook up tacos.

Test ID: BUPM
Buprenorphine and Norbuprenorphine, Urine
Useful For Suggests clinical disorders or settings where the test may be helpful
Monitoring of compliance utilizing buprenorphine
Detection and confirmation of the illicit use of buprenorphine
Clinical Information Discusses physiology, pathophysiology, and general clinical aspects, as they relate to a laboratory test
Clinically, buprenorphine is utilized as a substitution therapy for opioid dependance and as an analgesic. Buprenorphine is a partial agonist of the mu-opioid receptor. These mu binding sites are discretely distributed in the human brain, spinal cord, and other tissue. The clinical effects of mu receptor agonists are sedation, euphoria, respiratory depression, and and analgesia. As a partial mu receptor agonist, buprenorphine's clinical effects are decreased, giving buprenorphine a wider safety margin.(1) Buprenorphine has a prolonged duration of activity. The combination of decreased clinical effects and prolonged activity gives buprenorphine the added advantage of a delayed and decreased withdrawal syndrome, compared to other opioids.(1) Compared to morphine, buprenorphine is 25 to 40 times more potent.(1) As with any opioid, abuse is always a concern. To reduce illicit use of buprenorphine, it is available mixed with naloxone in a ratio of 4:1. When the combination is taken as prescribed, only small amounts of naloxone will be absorbed. However, if the combination is transformed into the injectable form, naloxone then acts as an opioid receptor antagonist.
Buprenorphine is metabolized through N-dealkylation to norbuprenorphine through cytochrome P450 3A4. Both parent and metabolite then undergo glucuronidation. Norbuprenorphine is an active metabolite possessing one fifth of the potency of its parent. The glucuronide metabolites are inactive.(1)
The primary clinical utility of quantification of buprenorphine in urine is to identify patients that have strayed from opioid dependance therapy.
Reference Values Describes reference intervals and additional information for interpretation of test results. May include intervals based on age and sex when appropriate. Intervals are Mayo-derived, unless otherwise designated. If an interpretive report is provided, the reference value field will state this.
Interpretation Provides information to assist in interpretation of the test results
The presence of buprenorphine >0.5 ng/mL or norbuprenorphine >0.5 ng/mL is a strong indicator that the patient has used buprenorphine.
Cautions Discusses conditions that may cause diagnostic confusion, including improper specimen collection and handling, inappropriate test selection, and interfering substances
Urine concentrations do not correlate well with serum drug levels and are not intended for therapeutic drug management.
Clinical Reference Provides recommendations for further in-depth reading of a clinical nature
