Meaning & Origins
English form of a New Testament name, which is derived from the Greek form of a Hebrew name meaning 'God has given' (compare Nathan, which is sometimes taken as a short form of this name). It was borne by one of the less prominent of Christ's apostles (John 1:45; 21:2), who in fact is probably identical with Bartholomew. The spelling used in the Authorized Version of the New Testament is Nathanael, but this is in much less frequent use as a given name in the English-speaking world.

Let (R,m) be a CM ring of dimension d, and M a finite R- module. Is pd M always finite?
Take the 2-minute tour ×
MathOverflow is a question and answer site for professional mathematicians. It's 100% free, no registration required.
No. Put $k=R/m$. Then $k$ is of finite projective dimension if and only if $R$ is regular. This is the famous theorem of Auslander-Buchsbaum, Serre (see for instance Bruns-Herzog Cohen-Macaulay rings theorem 2.2.7 for a proof). So the residual field of a non-regular CM ring will give a counter-example.

Comments about Keychain Flashlight:
due to the rapid release function, I lost my car key. I used only for 2 weeks, and then one day when i was gonna drive my other car, I realized, the ring with my car key slipped out of the key chain. I couldn't even recall when and where how did it happen. Must be the rapid release button released it by itself! So, be very careful that the any one of the 3 key rings can easily released without you knowing it.

Comments about Keychain Flashlight:
I bought 2 of these keychain flashlights. One was for me. The other was a gift. The back cover of mine fell off just this week - about 2-1/2 months after purchase! Due to the back cover falling off, the battery fell out too. Don't know where this happened, as I didn't notice the problem until I pulled the keychain out of my purse to use it. I dumped my purse to search for the battery and back cover, but no luck. I bought these sometime in January 2012! I did nothing to cause it to fall apart. Just taking my keys in and out of my purse and using them on a daily basis. Very disappointing. I hope the one I gave as a gift didn't fall apart. I bought about 6 similar keychains from Brookstone years ago for my family - 4 of whom were teenagers then. The keychains didn't have a flashlight, but did have the removable rings. They held up for years. I am very disappointed in this product, especially since I NEED a keychain with removable rings AND a small flashlight.

10 Beauty Trends That'll Be EVERYWHERE This Fall
There are plenty of fab new hair, makeup and nail looks that can instantly update your style without breaking the bank. And the best part? You could test-drive these fall beauty trends before the temperature drops!SEE MORE
Need a new makeup look? Try a bare face and bright lips.
You can skip the heavy blush and eyeshadow this fall—all you need is a tube of traffic-stopping crimson lipstick. For precision and stay-put color, fill in your lips with a matching liner and layer lipstick on top. To keep the spotlight on your mouth, steal a trick from the makeup artists at Moschino and Just Cavalli: Skip mascara and let your mouth do all the talking! Ready to test this fall beauty trend right now? Try a can't-miss-it red lip color like Revlon ColorBurst Lipstick in True Red, $8.
Lighten up with baby blue nail polish.
Chillier temps, less sunshine and no more time lounging poolside would give anyone the blues, but pair a big cuddly sweater with sky-color nails and a beauty buff's frown will be turned upside down! Brighten up a black and gray fall wardrobe with a splash of color on your fingertips. Go on and get happy with one of fall's biggest beauty trends—cheery blue nail polish—like Essie Nail Color in Lapis of Luxury, $8.
Add some color to your fall look with bright eyeshadow.
Just like the sound of leaves crunching under your boots or freshly sharpened No. 2 pencils, smoky eyes have forever been a fall beauty trend. Instead of basic black, however, this season's sultriest eyes involve lots and lots of color. Whether it's eggplant shadow at Carolina Herrera or blue-gray at Derek Lam, the runways were full of this look. Good news: You don't have to act tough to look this cool—use a cotton swab to run shadow along your lower lash line for a dark, sexy finish. For a not-too-sweet purple palette that looks good on every eye color, try Maybelline's Eye Studio Color Plush Silk Eyeshadow in Legendary Lilac, $6.
Take your ballerina bun down a few notches.
"Chignons are like hemlines—they move up and down according to the season," says hair pro Franco Della Grazia. The key to keeping your bun in style this fall: Wear it low and messy. "It shouldn't look salon perfect—keep it more street," adds Grazia. Take a cue from the knots at Philosophy and pull a few strands out to give it a natural, sexy vibe. For a piecey look, use a thickener on damp hair (like Biolage Styling Volumizing Whipped Mousse, $19) and finish with a light-hold hairspray to keep your bun in place without looking overly stiff.
Don't be afraid to wing out your eyeliner.
Instantly update your eyeliner look this fall by embracing the kinda-cat-eye beauty trend. Try flicking your eyeliner up and out about half an inch on your outer corners. Got a shaky hand? For more precision, but just as much drama, try one in a penlike delivery system (like CoverGirl Line Exact Liquid Liner Pen, $7) and rest your elbow on the sink for added stability.
Go for the gold—and bronze—eyeshadow.
Not ready to give up your gray smoky eyes? Just update 'em for fall with a little bit of glitter, like makeup artist James Kaliardos did at Diane von Furstenberg. To brighten up the inner corners, apply MAC Glitter in 3D Silver to "give the eye reflection," and rim your waterline in black for added intensity. Want the sparkle but need to tone it down for your day job? Swap the black and bling for a sheer, sultry bronze shadow (try Rimmel Glam Eye Mono Eyeshadow in Spicy Bronze, $4) and get a shimmery, neutral look like the models at Anna Sui.
Pump up the volume on your sexy hairstyle.
Don't make Marge Simpson or Snookie your beauty icon just yet, but DO add some catwalkworthy height to your hair, like this updo from Vera Wang. To try this fall beauty trend, work a light body booster (like Aveeno Active Naturals Nourish and Style Volumizing Foam, $7.50) into damp hair and blow-dry upside down so roots dry at a 90-degree angle. Then tease hair by holding it taut and pushing strands in the opposite direction using a fine-tooth comb an inch from the root. (That's called back-combing.) Smooth the front section of your hair over the back-combed area. If your strands are slippery, spritz in a dry shampoo (try Tresemmé Fresh Start Dry Shampoo, $3.50). Hair still falling flat? Add a headband or scarf to give it a boost from underneath.
Or…add a few inches to the sides of your hairstyle.
"Go big or go home," seemed to be the beauty motto for hair on the fall runways, because let's face it, when it comes to hair, size does matter! For big, bouncy curls, like the ones seen here at Tracy Reese, hair pro Erin Anderson of Woodley and Bunny Salon in Brooklyn suggests using a curling iron no larger than an inch and working your way from the bottom up. Then flip hair upside down and free up ringlets by using your fingers to pull out two or three inches from the root. The key to not looking like a lollipop: Keep the top flatter than the sides.
Show off those big, bold eyebrows.
Big is beautiful this fall—especially when it comes to your arches, as seen at Prada. Put down the tweezers and fill in sparse areas using a brow pencil that matches your hair color. To avoid the drawn-on effect, blend the color with your natural brow hair using a clean mascara wand (Benefit's Instant Brow Pencil comes with color on one end and a spooley on the other). Dot liquid concealer or highlighter onto brow bones to hide any stray hairs.
Pucker up in purple lipstick (yes, really!).
Blame it on Hollywood's still-strong vampire trend, but vampy plum shades (like Yves Saint Laurent Rouge Pur in Black Tulip, $30) are the hot lip color for fall. If you're feeling bold, slick it on straight from the tube. Not so daring? Take baby steps by using your pointer finger to gradually press on color for a wine-stained effect. Add a shimmery gold shadow to the inner corners of your eyes to keep your look from going too Goth.

Flip Orley
This incredible show continues to dazzle and amaze the most skeptical audience members. Flip's show draws anxious fans to clubs across the country where they storm the stages, hoping to be among the lucky volunteers to grab a seat and become the stars of the show. Improvs comedy chain has never had a hypnotist that has replicated the incredible crowds, amazing creativity, or quirky sense of humor that Flip brings to each and every one of his shows. Orley is adamant about not embarrassing his volunteers. He prefers his audiences to laugh with the volunteers, not at them. He takes great care in making sure that the stars of his show remember everything, and have as much fun as his audience. Orley's brilliant comedic timing is sharper than ever. His on the spot creative imagination delivered a show in Washington DC that was so funny that an audience member laughed so hard they actually needed medical attention! Obviously this is not Flip's goal, but it does paint a vivid picture of how hilarious this show really is. The Washington Post calls Flips show…"gut-bustingly funny". The Dallas MorningNews says…"It's difficult to remain skeptical after seeing Flip transform a panel of well behaved audience members into a family of trailer-park dwellers from Arkansas". The Los Angeles Times says… "The beauty of Orley's show is that, because most of the humor comes from the volunteers, no two performances are alike." Call your friends! This is a MUST SEE show! Flip has been seen on "Entertainment Tonight", Maury Povich has turned over his show to Flip twice, as has Ricki Lake, followed by his three traffic-stopping appearances on NBC's "Today Show", which was met with rave reviews.

Amazing Light-Filled Glass Studio In Japan
Core77 points us to this stunning crystalline building that serves as a flexible studio and workplace for students at the Kanagawa Institute of Technology. Designed by Tokyo-based architecture firm Junya Ishigami and Associates, the glass studio has a large open floor plan topped with a roof supported by columns of various sizes. Thanks to the building's floor-to-ceiling glass facade and strips of skylights on the roof the daylighting in this space is superb, creating a spectacular place to work on design projects.
The building's goal was to create a place where students could come to work on self-initiated projects and build things, but as students move in and out and projects change, so does the space required. So Ishigami and his team designed a building with a flexible and open layout supported by 305 pillars, which seem randomly placed — but they actually spent quite some time analyzing the location and diameter of each pillar to create spaces of varying size. The pillars create a vague sense of borders and partitions but are not so restrictive that they limit the space.

I'm thinking tentatively that the DC Tournament will be held on August 11th, Saturday, at 1pm Eastern Time.
It will be Texas Hold 'Em, probably "pot limit".
Obviously there will be no real money involved. Everyone will start with 20,000 chips. It costs nothing to enter so why not?
At the end of the tournament the winner will get some real world prize: A custom DC mug or shirt designating them as the winner of the 1st annual DC Poker Tournament, and maybe some bonus prizes (some board games?) -- and of course, bragging rights.
I think we should try to link to a few tutorials and places people can learn how to play. You don't want your first time learning how to play to be in the tournament.
Maybe what we can do is run some practice tournaments on Saturdays at 1pm EST leading up to the real one, so people can get the hang of how the client works, and so we can work out any hiccups.
Install the client from www.pokerstars.net and join the DonationCoder club by following the instructions stephen provides below, and practice getting used to the client. Use your donationcoder member name (or dcMEMBERNAME) so we can recognize each other.

Gallery: SG Blocks Container House Debuts at West Coast Green
West Coast Green kicked off this morning and we're excited to reveal this year's stunning show house: the SG Blocks Harbinger prefab! Composed of five recycled shipping containers, the home features a durable steel envelope that is capable of withstanding hurricanes in Florida and earthquakes in California. A paragon of sustainability, the Harbinger house also features FSC-certified woods, solar panels, rainwater recycling, and an Agilewaves resource monitoring system. Designed by the Lawrence Group, the prefab was fabricated in a month and assembled on-site in just 4 hours and 47 minutes!
As the crowning exhibit at this year's West Coast Green conference, the Harbinger House is an incredible exercise in sustainable architecture. The exterior features high-performance glazing and Integrity windows that provide excellent insulation and require less energy to manufacture than traditional windows. All of the wood finishes throughout the house are FSC Certified, and the home's interior features an eclectic mix of sustainably sourced furniture by ecofabulous. However, according Lawrence Group principal Dan Rosenthal: "at base, the most fundamental strategy is that we're re-using a shipping container that has lived its useful life as a shipping container".
Built to withstand the test of time while traversing the globe, shipping containers are an intrepid green builder's dream. The durable ready-made shells are a readily available and offer exciting possibilities for prefabricated architecture. By working with ConGlobal Industries, SG Blocks is able to source containers from depots nearest to the destination site and then fabricate them on the spot. The same local skilled workers who repair the containers are hired to repurpose them into house modules, which can then be easily shipped on trains. This process translates into a miniscule transportation footprint and blazingly fast build times: "when you deliver the finished components to site, you can install up to 12 containers using one crane in one day – that's the equivalent of a 5,000 square foot house that is set in place in one day".
Named by Gregory Schaefer, the Harbinger House is a symbol of "looking forward into the future of design and sustainability". The final home was selected from 11 potential designs created by architects at the Lawrence Group. Rosenthal says: "one of the motives of the contest was to come up with a lot of houses that will be posted to the SG Blocks website and be sold as catalogue homes. We can not only bring the costs down if we're mass producing them, but we're opening up our potential buyers to the entire nation". The Harbinger house, complete with all of its bells and whistles ran about $150 psf, and the Lawrence Group estimates that its shipping container prefabs will run roughly 15% cheaper than comparable stick-built homes.

All I need to say is, yes! Yes! Yes! Youre so correct. I need to get behind this so much.

I was stationed in Afghanistan just a few months ago, and all of our rooms were made out of conex boxes (shipping containers). I was impressed with what they had done to make these usable living spaces. Being there in the summer (temps 125) and the winter (temps -10), they were very comfortable. I would highly consider buying a home made out of this material.

The biggest difficulty I've seen seems to be convincing local authorities that these can exceed code, but they don't understand how to compare apples to oranges (or steel to wood, or ceramic to fiberglass…)
Where does one get validated equivalents for thermal insulation, fire spread, and wind resistance?
October 20, 2008 at 11:17 pm
To answer your question about the R-Value of shipping containers. Simple answer is that Shipping containers use a ceramic spray on application called SuperTherm, which with one coat used on the interior and exterior has the equivelent R-Value of 28.5 compared to 6 inches of Fiberglass with R-19.
A more complex answer which can be found by googling Bob Vila + Shipping Container reveals that. Unlike fiberglass whose R-value rating assumes heat loading by a building and simply measures the rate at which that heat is transferred—ceramic coatings are not given an R-value rating. Instead, they are measured by their emissivity. Emissivity measures both the ability to reflect heat and the amount of heat that is loaded onto a surface. The concept is simple: Why use fiberglass insulation to slow the transfer of heat into a building when you can just prevent that heat from ever loading onto the building in the first place? If heat is kept off the structure to begin with, that fiberglass insulation becomes unnecessary.
Some ceramic coatings feature additional properties, like preventing moisture migration. Some structures see up to 25 percent of HVAC costs coming from dehumidification needs, but a ceramic coating can also bring savings through moisture management. Additional features can include mold and mildew control, sound attenuation properties, and fire resistance.

Sounds and looks good. However, if all you're looking for is a cute cube, that can be achieved though prefab and for a lot less money. Let your imagination run a muck. View http://www.transconsteel.com

I am all for the container house concept. What I find lacking in every one that I see however, is INSULATION. It makes little sense to use recycled material to build a house only to blow those carbon savings out the window trying to heat and cool the place. Can someone, anyone, tell me what sort of R-value these things achieve?

The West Coast Green Show website lists the Harbinger house as a 1700 sqft two-story home. At the above quote of $150 psf, that\'s $255,000. I love the looks, I love the prefab concept, I love the use of shipping containers, but come on: a quarter mil for a 1700 sqft prefab in a downmarket economy?
We must, and certainly can, dramatically lower these prices below stick-built or we\'re just playing at prefab, running through a fad of which your successful clientele will soon tire.
Prefab architects: is your goal to make a lot of money off a few models sold or to truly change the residential landscape through a mass infusion of great, sustainable design? Is there anyone left with higher ideals?

[…] Other than all these it also uses an Agilewaves resource monitoring system which is a web-based application that actively monitors real-time electric, gas and water usage and then calculates the carbon footprint. But the SG Blocks container house is not only highly sustainable but can also withstand hurricanes in Florida and earthquakes in California, thanks to its durable steel envelope. Just for the record … it took them 1 month to do the prefab and only 4 hours and 47 minutes to install it at the expo. – via Inhabitat […]

Umm…this is a very nice house and all, but I don't see any actual shipping containers. Did they re-clad the entire house after building it?
September 25, 2008 at 9:30 pm
the floor plans for the house can be found if you follow the links for Lawrence Group in thier projects under sustainability. You can also find them and all the other 11 designs in West Coast Green's website http://www.westcoastgreen.com.

Can you please post a floor plan and total square footage and total cost for this house? Thanks.

The Salem witch trials occurred in colonial Massachusetts between 1692 and 1693. More than 200 people were accused of practicing witchcraft—the Devil's magic—and 20 were executed. Eventually, the colony admitted the trials were a mistake and compensated the families of those convicted. Since then, the story of the trials has become synonymous with paranoia and injustice, and it continues to beguile the popular imagination more than 300 years later.

Salem Struggling
Several centuries ago, many practicing Christians, and those of other religions, had a strong belief that the Devil could give certain people known as witches the power to harm others in return for their loyalty. A "witchcraft craze" rippled through Europe from the 1300s to the end of the 1600s. Tens of thousands of supposed witches—mostly women—were executed. Though the Salem trials came on just as the European craze was winding down, local circumstances explain their onset.
In 1689, English rulers William and Mary started a war with France in the American colonies. Known as King William's War to colonists, it ravaged regions of upstate New York, Nova Scotia and Quebec, sending refugees into the county of Essex and, specifically, Salem Village in the Massachusetts Bay Colony. (Salem Village is present-day Danvers, Massachusetts; colonial Salem Town became what's now Salem.)
The displaced people created a strain on Salem's resources. This aggravated the existing rivalry between families with ties to the wealth of the port of Salem and those who still depended on agriculture. Controversy also brewed over Reverend Samuel Parris, who became Salem Village's first ordained minister in 1689, and was disliked because of his rigid ways and greedy nature. The Puritan villagers believed all the quarreling was the work of the Devil.
In January of 1692, Reverend Parris' daughter Elizabeth, age 9, and niece Abigail Williams, age 11, started having "fits." They screamed, threw things, uttered peculiar sounds and contorted themselves into strange positions, and a local doctor blamed the supernatural. Another girl, Ann Putnam, age 11, experienced similar episodes. On February 29, under pressure from magistrates Jonathan Corwin and John Hathorne, the girls blamed three women for afflicting them: Tituba, the Parris' Caribbean slave; Sarah Good, a homeless beggar; and Sarah Osborne, an elderly impoverished woman.
Witch Hunt
All three women were brought before the local magistrates and interrogated for several days, starting on March 1, 1692. Osborne claimed innocence, as did Good. But Tituba confessed, "The Devil came to me and bid me serve him." She described elaborate images of black dogs, red cats, yellow birds and a "black man" who wanted her to sign his book. She admitted that she signed the book and said there were several other witches looking to destroy the Puritans. All three women were put in jail.
With the seed of paranoia planted, a stream of accusations followed for the next few months. Charges against Martha Corey, a loyal member of the Church in Salem Village, greatly concerned the community; if she could be a witch, then anyone could. Magistrates even questioned Sarah Good's 4-year-old daughter, Dorothy, and her timid answers were construed as a confession. The questioning got more serious in April when Deputy Governor Thomas Danforth and his assistants attended the hearings. Dozens of people from Salem and other Massachusetts villages were brought in for questioning.

Acqua Di Gio aftershave balm is the perfect combination of fragrance & a soothing balm for after shaving. Very clean scent with hints of citrus & jasmine, it doesn't give me a headache & my guy LOVES it. It is long lasting & others still smell it even when you think it has worn off.

Acqua Di Gio is my husband's favorite cologne. He loves the smell and has received numerous compliments on it. So ladies if your looking for a great present for your husband or that special someone this is it!

This is the best smelling cologne out there by far in my opinion. I've always had difficulty finding a cologne that would work well with my body's own scent and Acqua Di Gio is a perfect match. It has a very "clean" scent. It's fruity, but also masculine enough not to smell perfume like. The only downside is that it's very popular and you may not be the only one wearing this in a room full of people.

One of my most favorite over the last 20 plus years; I always come back to this one. Fresh, not overbearing. Highly recommended

I just can't get over this lovely fragrance. I had no idea that this was an oldie, it smells so fresh and modern. 1995 eh? Wow,almost twenty years old. I bought it for a friend who's getting married again for the second time,(widow for eleven years) and she was floored by the scent. She said it was the perfect summer wedding gift she's ever gotten and hopes that the new hubby likes it. I'm so thrilled I think I'm getting myself a bottle,this is too good to pass up!!

Decision for change stems from lack of customization
By AMANDA SCOTT
Staff writer
As part of a transition to customized fire-protection programs, Calvert Cliffs Nuclear Power Plant plans to submit its new program in September to the regulatory commission.
In 2011, Calvert Cliffs informed the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission of its intentions to file a license amendment request with the commission by Sept. 30 based on its transition to a National Fire Protection Association 805 risk-informed fire-protection program.
Risk-informed decision making is an approach in which insights from probabilistic risk assessments are considered with other engineering insights, according to the NRC 2011-2012 Information Digest.
Currently, 46 reactors, including Calvert Cliffs, are planning to transition to the risk-informed fire-protection approach, according to NRC spokesman Neil Sheehan. He said that accounts for 45 percent of the commercial power reactors currently licensed to operate in the U.S.
Sheehan said during a phone interview that the NFPA 805 is a way for plants to break the plant down into different areas and look at the risks for each of those areas.
In an email further explaining the approach, Sheehan wrote that it's "a means by which plant owners can customize their fire-protection programs to differing plant situations based on risk. For example, the risk of fire in an otherwise empty room with concrete walls with electrical cable trays is less than for the same room with a barrel of lubricating oil stored in a corner."
In the email, Sheehan said the older fire-protection regulations, known as Appendix R, "are effectively a one-size-fits-all approach for plants. We believe the shift to NFPA 805 will allow for a more customized approach."
In June, the Union of Concerned Scientists addressed letters to Gov. Martin O'Malley (D), Attorney General Doug Gansler, several state agencies and the state fire marshal asking them to contact NRC Chairman Allison Macfarlane to "urge her to better protect the citizens of Maryland by bringing the Calvert Cliffs nuclear plant into compliance with fire protection regulations as expeditiously as possible," the letter states.
The UCS is an alliance of more than 400,000 citizens and scientists working to combine technical analysis and effective advocacy to create innovative, practical solutions for a healthy, safe and sustainable future, according to the group's website, www.ucsusa.org.
In Sheehan's email, he said it's the NRC's goal to complete the review of the NFPA 805 within two years of it being submitted. In the meantime, Sheehan said during the phone interview, plants may find new fire-protection issues.
Sheehan said in the email that the NRC will not penalize the plant if new issues are uncovered, but rather "ensures those issues are appropriately handled as they're identified. All new issues are accounted for with compensatory measures, and will either be fixed by a change to the plant or evaluated as part of the transition to NFPA 805."
Just because the plant is undergoing the transition to a new risk-informed fire-protection program does not mean there are not fire regulations being followed, Sheehan said during the phone interview.
CCNPP spokesman Kory Raftery said the Lusby plant is undergoing various fire-risk assessments "all the time" and there are several measures in place to prevent and combat fires.
"We have a strong fire protection program, which includes the design of the facility, active and passive systems as part of our fire protection," Raftery said. "We also have special fire-based procedures for operators, who perform fire-watch checks regularly, an on-site fire marshal and a fire engine on site as part of our fire protection strategy."

But now, in what can only be seen as the coup de grâce in a Republican rebellion against the U.S. Constitution which is sweeping the nation, legislators in North Carolina are preparing to take on one of the most fundamental notions upon which our nation was foundedthe freedom of religion and the importance of that pesky wall that separates church and state.
Meet North Carolina Representatives Carl Ford (R-China Grove) and Harry Warren (R-Salisbury), the primary sponsors of a bill introduced into the states General Assembly that would clear the way for the state to adopt an official, state religion.
The proposed law, introduced earlier this week, states that the Establishment Clause in the First Amendmentwhich prohibits Congress from passing laws respecting the establishment of religion or prohibiting the free exercise of religion in Americasimply does not apply to the states. The bill goes on to proclaim the sovereignty of the states in this matter while proclaiming that each state is free to make its own laws respecting an establishment of an official religion and that such an establishment cannot be blocked by either Congress or the judiciary.http://www.forbes.com/sites/rickunga...tate-religion/If you are of the mind that these North Carolina lawmakers have it right, allow me to introduce you to Lemon v. Kurtzman, 403 U.S. 602 (1971), the U.S. Supreme Court case that established the three-pronged testcalled The Lemon Test for determining when a state has run afoul of the First Amendments Establishment Clause:
The law or state policy must have been adopted with a neutral or non-religious purpose.
The principle or primary effect must be one that neither advances nor inhibits religion.
The statute or policy must not result in an excessive entanglement of government with religion.
Theocracy here we come!

"This is a delicious recipe for ham and potato soup that a friend gave to me. It is very easy and the great thing about it is that you can add additional ingredients, more ham, potatoes, etc and it still turns out great."

3 1/2 cups

1/3 cup
diced celery
1/3 cup
finely chopped onion
3/4 cup
diced cooked ham
3 1/4 cups
2 tablespoons
chicken bouillon granules
1/2 teaspoon
salt, or to taste
1 teaspoon
ground white or black pepper, or to taste
5 tablespoons
5 tablespoons
all-purpose flour
2 cups
I will NEVER use another potato soup recipe , this ones perfect! We don't care for cooked celery so I use a little celery seed . I use this recipe as a base also, with many variations , such as... no meat at all , italian sausage & extra onion (my husband's favorite), diced chicken breast & (presteamed) broccoli (my kids' favorite !)and coming soon ..garlic, chicken breast, baby carrots, frozen corn,green beans and coarsely chopped onion.
one teaspoon of pepper in this recipe is way too much for my taste. I wish I would have used a more conservative approach with the pepper because it overpowered everything. Anyway, I made the recipe "as is" and tasted it. Then I decided to add extra ham and some cheese for additional flavor. I used 8 oz of colby jack cheese, but think that an extra sharp cheddar would have been much better. I don't think I'll make this again.

This is the BEST potatoe soup I've had! A few changes I did... I didn't bother peeling the potatoes, just washed and diced them up. Also added some chopped carrots for color and flavor. Only added about 1/2tsp of pepper and no extra salt, just the boullion. I like my potatoe soup a little bit thicker than it turned out. I'm not sure if I did something wrong with the flour mixture or if it's just a thinner broth. So I mashed the veges real lightly with potatoe masher and added instant mashed potatoe flakes to thicken it up a bit! Wonderful recipe!
This is one of the best ham & potato soups I've ever tasted! I'm always looking for ham recipes, as I often buy a half fully cooked ham, cube, and divide up into freezer bags for quick meals. Making the white sauce separately really added the right creaminess to the potato/ham & veggie mixture. I used a can of chicken broth for part of the liquid, as I didn't have any bullion. Also threw in some shredded carrots I had on hand, plus 1/2 cup shredded cheese to the white sauce after it had thickened. Also, (to disguise the carrots), added a sprinkle of cheese to each bowl upon serving. Very creamy and tasty. I'll definitely make again, possibly adding corn next time.
I thought this recipe was excellent. I did change it a little bit. I used a ham bone with a little meat left on it. I boiled it to make stock and used this in place of the water. Then stripped the meat off the bone to use in the soup. I also put a few sprigs of fresh thyme in it...the result was soooo good. I made it for a friend who was sick and my husband was begging me to get them a pizza and let us have the soup! This is going in my recipe box for good!
My dad gave me this huge ham last week and I have been looking for any recipe that has ham in it. I tried this one yesterday and converted it to a crockpot recipe. I LOVE my crockpot and use it constantly! I sauted the onions in a little vegetable oil until soft, added all the ingredients except the butter/flour and milk to the crockpot and cooked all day until the potatoes were nice and soft. I also added one diced carrot. About an hour before dinner I made the rue with the flour and butter and used a 12 oz. and 5 oz. can of evaporated milk instead of regular milk. I don't like to use regular milk in crockpot recipes because it sometimes curdles on me. I added about a 1/2 teaspoon of garlic powder to the soup, it just seemed like it needed a little something when I tasted it before serving. Topped each bowl of soup with fresh ground pepper and sliced green onions. This soup is rich, thick and creamy. Very hearty and filling, perfect for a cold winter night meal! My family really enjoyed this served with a homemade cheesy garlic pizza.
Lots of chopping to do, but it was wonderful!! I also added fresh green beans and a can of chicken broth (instead of the water). I put it in the slower cooker on low for 6 hours and it was perfect!!
I LOVE THIS RECIPE. When there was a death in the family, I needed something to take FAST so that we could get on the road. Very risky to bring something as a gift for a whole family, especially if you have never tested the recipe, but this was a home run! The ham really made this special and oh so good. I used far less salt, didn't measure, just to taste. Since different hams have different salt content, I highly recommend tasting first. Also, I used a little over 1 TBSP of boullion because I wanted the great taste of ham to come through. I cooked this on the stove and then put in my crockpot to keep warm and make travelling and reheating easy. Perfect! Thanks for such a great recipe!

To say Dale H. has a soft spot for dogs would be an understatement. In his life, he has rescued and found homes for more than 100 dogs in need. One such pup, a five-year-old special needs dog named Daisy May, is one of Dale's three resident dogs.
As a puppy, Daisy was a victim of unthinkable cruelty. She was kicked, beaten and left for dead. Knox County Animal Control stepped in, and Daisy was transported to the Young-Williams Animal Center, a 2012 $100K Challenge participant, in Knoxville, Tennessee.
"The veterinarians and staff fell in love with her, as they cared for her during her recuperation," Dale says. "They loved her so much, and they kept her until she found a home. Daisy May would not have had a chance without their compassion."
Today, Daisy still lives with the lasting effects of animal cruelty. Due to extensive shoulder injuries, Daisy can only hop on her front legs. Because of the head trauma she suffered, her eyes "flicker" and cannot focus.
"Although she has suffered a great deal in her life, Daisy May is the happiest, most sociable and friendly dog I have seen in some time," Dale says. "For her treats, she spins and spins, then hops in front of me. I have had Daisy for a year and a half now, and she is my closest friend."

These cookies are my holiday favorites. I have been baking them at Christmas every year for about ten years now. They have a great flavor and look festive on the cookie tray. Be careful not to overbake them - - very lightly browned is perfect for a slightly chewy, cheesecake taste.
We did not like these cookies. Too dry and tasted like flour. I followed directions as stated.

Yummy! Very delicate cheesecakey kind of taste.
Just one note - my oven is a bit hotter than most, so the bottoms are a bit black. Starting at 10 minutes, keep y our eye on them to make sure that the cookies don't burn!
I've been looking for a cream cheese based recipes since my sister lost hers. I think this is as good if not better. I loved it with the pecans but might add chopped red and green candied cherries next time for color.
These cookies were great! Everyone loved them and they weren't difficult to make. The only problem I had was that my pecans kept falling off. I also made a batch with almonds instead of pecans and these were also wonderful.
These cookies were very easy to prepare and after refrigerating they were easy to cut and baked up just right. Awesome flavor will definately make again. Wonderful cookie!
These are delicious! Instead of using the pecans on the top, I mixed in 1/2 cup of chopped red cherries and 1/2 cup of green cherries. They looked very festive with the red and green sugar and tasted even better. I had to stick them in the freezer so I would have some left for the holidays! This recipe is a keeper!
This is a great cookie recipe, and easy to prepare. I found that putting the colored sugar into a large zipper bag and then dropping the whole roll in to coat it worked best. Also, make sure to push the pecan into the dough a bit on top so that it will stay put. I used my KitchenAid mixer to cream the sugar and cream cheese, I think it would be a bit difficult by hand. Also, doubling the recipe fills the kitchenaid bowl to the brim......

TR members do not assist in password recovery or removal.
Do not respond to this thread.
We, the members of TechRepublic - A Resource for IT Professionals, will not assist anyone in the recovery/removal of lost passwords. You may have a legitimate reason to recover/remove a password. However, we cannot verify your motives and will therefore not assist anyone in what may be an attempt at gaining unauthorized access to a computer system. Due to the open nature of this forum, any assistance given to help circumvent security measures, even for legitimate purposes, would be available for unscrupulous individuals to use for illegitimate purposes. This is a risk that we, the members of TechRepublic, will not take. Please do not ask questions of this nature on TechRepublic.
If you have a legitimate need to circumvent a password scheme, please contact the vendor for the software / hardware and request their assistance. E.g. Windows XP password recovery/removal issues should be taken up with Microsoft's technical support, Phoenix BIOS password recovery/removal issues should be taken up with Phoenix Technologies, hard drive password recovery/removal should be taken up with the manufacturer of the hard drive, etc...
To those viewing this post: Please DO NOT respond any further to this thread.
This template has been released under the GNU public license and you are encouraged to use it as a standard reply for questions of similar nature, provided that you make any modifications available to other users.
Perhaps the OP changed her question before I read it, but as it stands now there is no mention of passwords at all - the OP just wants to know how this has been happening.
Can I suggest you now remove your reply so other potential helpers are not dissuaded?
No, gechurch, my reply will stand...the OP is asking how to break the
security at the library's computer system...not "password" specifically,
but system security none the less. If the OP cannot or will not use a
search engine, of which there are several, to find the information then
it is not upon TR members to show them how to crack system security.
The other issue I have, they asked this same basic question twice.
Even ignoring the paranoid delusional aspects of this "question", it
has a smell of the darkside of system cracking. That is something that
the majority of TR members have decided NOT to assist.
TR Moderator
Siding with wizard on this one. I have no idea what this is about but the profile for the OP is suspect both temporally and personally.
Wizard if you would like to bring down the whip on suggestions to hack, than go after Slayer. He made a post that says word for word "Since it was originally posted on TR, it should be ok. If the Library has open wireless. Download firesheep for firefox and use it to monitor the network. Then steal your stalkers login credentials and mess with them for a bit." and a comment saying word for word "This whole thread is getting funny. Hack that library computer. Just like that girl in school, everyone has already done it at least once".
Ps: Please remember I am not attempting to engage in a flame war with any one.
LOL, I am not saying anything that couldn't have been figured out through google.
it is possible that there was remote control software on that computer in the library.
Something like vnc could have been used.
If you`re the Moderator then just lock the thread....
As Moderator's, we still do not have the ability to lock a discussion; that is passed on to higher powers. We have to ability to flag and delete a discussion is need be; some discussions are flagged and passed onto others that make the decision on whether or not to lock it down.
TR Moderator
I did not know that,...thought you guys were "all powerful"!....:-)
Slayer I'll have you know that My Alter Ego is All Powerful. But it relies on opening Air Lock Doors behind you unexpectedly not deleting or locking threads.
Dear birchswinger,
I do believe that this has happened to you and I might be able to shed light on this problem. The person doing this to you most likely is using an administrator's account. I have established this therory because a friend of mine was looking at adult rated sites at the library (not a good idea) and they locked the computer up tighter than fort knox and exited all of the web browsers. I hope that this has helped with your problem.
So, how can you draw a parallel from your friend surfing porn sites at a
public library and subsequently getting the computer locked down to the
OP's "situation" (which I feel is suspect, possibly delusional) of being
stalked by a former boyfriend or his hired hackers? Is that what you are
saying? Being stalked is the same as surfing porn?
Genius...admin??? Really? I'd have never guessed!! DUH!
TR Moderator
and tempted to delete this entire thread as it is just too far out in
left field, non-believable.
Yes, I flagged your response, in case you were wondering.
Wizard and I will have to agree to disagree. Perhaps you've asked dodgy questions in the past (I haven't looked up your history) but I see nothing in your post asking for help to crack passwords or break system security, and I'm certainly not going to offer advice on anything such so I'm sure I can't be breaking any guidelines in answering your question.
This certainly is weird, but not impossible. The messages you are seeing could be sent using "net send" which lets you send a popup message to another computer over the network (provided the security on the computers is weak enough). The screen colours changing could potentially be a dying monitor, and the thing disappearing could be Internet Explorer crashing. If all these things coincidentally happened then it's possible that there is no rootkit/infection involved. That's very unlikely to be the case though - I think you've basically answered your own question mentioning the rootkit. If he managed to infect the library PCs the rootkit would be sitting there waiting for commands. He could potentially do anything he wanted to with the machine. Given the symptoms this seems likely to be what he has done.
If it were me I'd report it to the library/technical staff and suggest they run offline virus scans (or dedicated rootkit detection tools) on all the machines. Also be aware that if the machine is infected he could be detecting all the keystrokes you type, so don't use any passwords.
Wow. First, thank you to gechurch, Rsmiedy, and Slayer for your rational, respectful responses to my question.( The only reason that I posted a similar questions elsewhere was that I thought I'd failed to post my first question successfully because I hadn't completed the registration process.) And now for the rest of you: As gechurch correctly pointed out, I asked no questions as to how passwords might be circumvented. Wizard57m-cnet's false statement that I "was asking how to break the security at the library's computer system" because I want "TR members to show me how to crack system security" is seriously objectionable coming from someone who is "serving" as a moderator on this site. Given the wording of both of my questions, "wizard", I'm gonna say you're the bull-goose paranoid here, and not I. And for crying out loud, what is your excuse for your infantile rudeness to Rsmiedy? Are you kidding me? You're supposed to be a "moderator"? You and several others certainly have reason to wonder at my strange story. It is incredibly weird, and no doubt about it. It was also extremely frightening to live through, and no amount of telling myself, "This is not happening because this can't be really happening" made it stop happening. You don't know that I'm delusional (I'm not, with witnesses and police reports to back me up) and really have no business casting aspersions on my character, intelligence or sanity ---all of which are well intact. Did it occur to you at all to show a bit of compassion? It really seems like it didn't. (Frankly even if I were suffering from delusions there would have been much more appropriate ways to respond.) I'm about to lose power, so I'll wrap up with another thanks to the nice folks out there. Nobody needs a ****-by-**** tutorial on how this nasty stuff is accomplished, but someone who's been victimized does need someone knowledgeable to go to bat for her when others take it upon themselves to dismiss her as "delusional".
What does this mean when you type, and I quote,
"But this stuff ACTUALLY HAPPENED, and I'd be grateful if you could help me understand HOW. Thanks in advance."
You asked HOW, did you not? You did not ask for help in preventing
stalking, nor for help in dealing with compromised library computers.
You asked for help in knowing HOW the computers were compromised,
and for those questions we have developed the standard response I
gave you, that TR members do not assist in cracking/hacking.
TR Moderator
Hi Birchswinger,
I'm sorry to hear of your experience and can't begin to understand how upset you must have been.
It is very difficult for anyone to establish how this happened as so much time has passed since the event.
I feel it unfair that Wizard, who by the way is usually incredibly helpful to visitors here, referred to you as delusional and I'm sure his comment was not intended to offend. I'm no psychologist, but reading between the lines of your story these incidents have been keeping you awake at night for a long time. This really isn't right and it is time for you to draw a line under it and move on with life. Perhaps it's time you talked about your feelings by contacting a support group for people who have suffered from stalking. If one doesn't exist near you, your family Doctor may be able to refer you to a councilor who can listen and help you to get over this. You could maybe even be prescribed pills to take the edge off your worries.
There's nothing to be ashamed about when talking to a medical practitioner about this - I seem to recall some stats to suggest that 2/3 people need help at some point in their lifetime.
Don't let this A-hole ex wreck the rest of your life. If it is still worrying you, perhaps it is time to admit that you might have a problem, consider getting some help and begin looking forward to a life without torment.
I hope you don't take offence at my comment and, should you choose to take my advice, please do come back and let us know how you are.
Content filter's or behavior monitoring applications can be configurred to popup pretty much any verbiage. As an example here I have configured our service to popup various different warning messages for different content. These messages replace whatever content is found to be potentially bad on the site so say that a specific banner advertisment on a website contains a keyword or content I have elected to block it will just be replaced with one of my messages. I notice at times when i am surfing the internet that on some websites some of the adverts will say 1 message and others will say another so i know from the verbiage what rule was violated by that advertisment or the site I was trying to surf. Now I have tried to make the messages descriptive so that others will understand what the warnings are. With that said it may be possible that what you are facing is the content filtering of the library and whoever configured it was less descriptive in their warning messages. It also is possible that you are actually seeing advertisments on the sites that are directed at searches for things that have been searched for like "Am I being hacked" or similar on that system.
So you are basically elluding to someone is stalking you, ok if that is the case you need to contact your local authorities and the administrator at the library and inform them that you think this is happening. Until then it is easy for people to let their minds conjure up all sorts of ideas and to be worried about things that are only a perceived danger. For me I find it is best to find out if I have something to stress out about before I let my little hamster loose in the cage to run because I don't like to expend energy on worrying until I need to. If the library computers are being remotely controlled they need to know. If you are being harrassed the police need to know. So I encourage you to first find out if you have anything to worry about and if you do take the steps to protect yourself and others.
Good explination. I just have one objetion, and please remember I am not trying to be rude but, birchswinger said the computer was displaying a message that said "There's nothing for you here. Move along." Why would they have that message pop up if something was blocked.
Hie I am no geek when it comes to computer security but from my experience I think this stalker might have hacked the library system and somehow managed to create a rootkit that monitors you when ever you login in to the system and start disrupting you, if this could help there is a software called RAT , its a remote access tool used to send Trojans and control whatever system that is infected the way you like, I suggest you read about it maybe you will have a n understanding on how it is possible.
Since it was originally posted on TR, it should be ok.
If the Library has open wireless. Download firesheep for firefox and use it to monitor the network. Then steal your stalkers login credentials and mess with them for a bit.
...before asking any questions on TR as a result of this thread. I agree the response by wizard57m-cnet is rude and insulting, not only to birchswinger, but to other TR responders as well. I'm glad to hear that's not the norm. It seems the "helpful" responses here have helped explain "how" this could have happened, just as birchswinger asked, without giving any suggestion of hacking, cracking, or password circumvention. There's a difference between asking how a computer can be compromised and how to compromise a computer.
So how would you personally approach dealing with Problem Questions?
The response submitted above was worked out by the TR Peers in an attempt to make a standard response which was neutral.
If you think that the response above was Rude you can contribute the the discussion on the Standard Response here.
Of course the response that some used to use which involves driving a solid metal rod through a CRT Monitor while being protected by having several points of the body directly connected tot he Metal Rod being driven through a running CRT Monitor which results in Electrocution and death may be your idea of a suitable answer.
TR is supposed to be a place for TR Pros not for end users who come out with silly I forgot my password so you have to tell me how I can break it demands.
On the whole we don't mind helping people but the reality is that some are just unbelievable and are treated as such by many TR Members. If that is Rude in your Eyes I would suggest that you are not a IT Professional and are a end user who would be better served by going elsewhere where Jaded IT Professionals are not likely to call what is obviously the ramblings of a Mad-Person are considered as both Common Place and Reasonable.
The reality is that People do not Cyber Stalk strangers and those who are stalked tend to bring it on themselves by their own actions.
Personally i would have deleted the entire thread but that's just me as I would expect to see many of the Regulars here have fun with the OP and feed their Paranoid Delusions. When you ask stupid unbelievable questions of Professionals you have to expect to be treated accordingly and if you don't expect to get called out for what you have posted on a Public Forum you need much more help from Mental Health Professionals which simply can not be provided here nor should it be expected.
Remember the carry ons in things like Days of Our Lives is Make Believe not Real Life.
@OH Smeg
Wow! Condesending much! These forums are a place to help people. If you want to use them to treat people like crap and call them names because they aren't "professional" enough for your elitist attitude then I'd suggest that you're the type of person we don't want here. Honestly, where do you get off?
"So how would you personally approach dealing with Problem Questions?"
Your question assumes that this is in fact a problem question. I'm all for not helping people hack here but that simply is not the case here. Anyone that interprets "can anyone help me understand how a stalker was doing this?" as "Please tell me the specific steps I need to take to hack into a computer system, even though I haven't even mentioned which OS the system is running" has problems if you ask me.
This whole thread is getting funny.
Hack that library computer.
Just like that girl in school, everyone has already done it at least once.
OK then Me Bad as I posted the wrong link. The correct one is here
http://www.techrepublic .com/forum/discussions/102-248696-2392005
remember to remove the space from between the techrepublic and the .com for a working link.
Feel free to contribute to that discussion and I can tell you that there will be no complaints about resurrecting a Zombie Thread from anyone here who moderates the site so go ahead and jump right in.
Unfortunately your Reading Comprehension is a Fail and you need to brush up on that one. I draw your attention to

Care to post back with that is what i said or in any way implied as my personal belief? What I said actually was
The response submitted above was worked out by the TR Peers in an attempt to make a standard response which was neutral.
If you think that the response above was Rude you can contribute the the discussion on the Standard Response here.
That in no way implies that is what I would have said it does most certainly say however it could happen and has happened in the past by some others who I did not mention.
I'm more than willing to engage in a conversation along these lines but you have to sit back dispassionately and read what was written not what you want to believe was written.
If you really believe that there are no Jaded IT pros here may I ask what it is you are smoking and can I have some? I very well remember a discussion way back when a guy from South Africa made a post for workers to move to South Africa and the responses that got. About 6 months latter a company called Conical was started and while I can not prove that is the same person asking for staff to work there there has also not been any other new business started in the time frame so I believe that it's safe to add 2 + 2 and believe that the answer is 4.
You have to remember that Nice is not normal on the Net and many people are downright NASTY believing that they are safe from being discovered for who that they actually are.
What I did say above was that I honestly expected far worse that was given and if people where so upset that the should contribute to the Discussion that was had here to give a standard response that doesn't raise any hackles.
So I'll say it again feel free to participate in the discussion at the above link. :0
I've got no issue with the standard response when applied correctly. But you'd have to be either genuinely idiotic (which clearly you are not), or deliberatly attempting to misdirect if you thought it was the standard response that I found rude, while ignoring your statements like:
* "obviously the ramblings of a Mad-Person"
* "Paranoid Delusions"
* "When you ask stupid unbelievable questions"
* "The reality is that People do not Cyber Stalk strangers and those who are stalked tend to bring it on themselves by their own actions"
Those things are all unfounded, uncalled for, and incredibly rude and condescending.
I'm sure there are plenty of jaded IT pro's here. So what? That means that no-one is allowed to come and ask questions here, because it might upset people that are already jaded?? Now who's dillusional. Perhaps you're one of those jaded IT professionals that don't like answering stupid questions. That's absolutely fine - don't answer! But being jaded is no reason to go around demeaning people you know nothing about. If you want to be unneccessarily rude to people you don't know in forums go join Slashdot or Youtube because you're right, this here is a place for professionals.
Well then I suppose you should read my post above as a question to the person who posted and not the the Original Poster which it was never intended for.
After all it was a reply to Cybergirl who specifically posted
Votes +
- .I'll think twice in the future...
...before asking any questions on TR as a result of this thread. I agree the response by wizard57m-cnet is rude and insulting, not only to birchswinger, but to other TR responders as well.
The above was in no way aimed at the OP and I can not see how it could be interpreted that way either. but as you prefer to limit your responses to the following lets have a look see shall we?
* "obviously the ramblings of a Mad-Person"
* "Paranoid Delusions"
* "When you ask stupid unbelievable questions"
* "The reality is that People do not Cyber Stalk strangers and those who are stalked tend to bring it on themselves by their own actions"
obviously the ramblings of a Mad-Person" was used this way
If that is Rude in your Eyes I would suggest that you are not a IT Professional and are a end user who would be better served by going elsewhere where Jaded IT Professionals are not likely to call what is obviously the ramblings of a Mad-Person are considered as both Common Place and Reasonable.
So just how is that in any way directly directed at the OP here? I was suggesting that the person in question may not be a Thick Skinned IT professional who is constantly blamed for what doesn't work in the eyes of the people who want it to. It was not intended to in any way relate to the OP here but was aimed as a general question on Questionable Content that does get posted on this Forum.
It is up to the people appointed as Moderators to remove posts like that and if anything it makes them more Jaded than they already where. Personally I deliberately refrained from posting a answer to the OP here because I felt the post was way too open and left too much room for abuse.
as for
The reality is that People do not Cyber Stalk strangers and those who are stalked tend to bring it on themselves by their own actions"
Sorry but that is exactly what the AU Federal Police say and to all intents and purposes is correct. There are very few people who get stalked who do not know the person stalking them and of those who are stalked and do not know who the person is they mostly happen to be Celebrities who get No Hoper Losers fasting onto them as a means to improve their perceived shortcomings.
That to is in no way directed as the OP here and was posted in Response to a direct comment claiming that it was rude to say something.
Well unfortunately the fact of life is that most people who hide behind an Alases on the Net are more than Rude they are Downright Objectionable.
But to make you feel better if you like I can delete the entire thread as it's now gone beyond the bizarre.
So would you like me to delete it?
