Attack of the Killer Tomatoes
Horror, SciFi/Fantasy, Comedy
One of the first films ever to be designed specifically to become a cult movie, this silly low-budget comedy has tomatoes growing to giant size and terrorizing screaming '70s types. It's really bad on purpose, with awful effects and a dumb script, in hopes of luring fans of campy old movies like Plan 9 From Outer Space. There's a fun Jaws parody as the tomatoes attack a swimmer and a cute bit involving a military meeting in a small office with a very large table, but overall it fails to generate many laughs. The problem is that the films which this one attempts to mock -- mainly bad 1950s sci-fi pictures -- have a cult following because they are funny unintentionally, and are beloved for reasons which this somewhat cynical effort completely misses. It has its moments, granted, but it just tries too hard.~ Robert Firsching, All Movie Guide

Reviewed 2013 Audi allroad: When Wagons Are Better Than SUVs
Monday, August 19, 2013 at 12:19PM
A bit of a longer review, but for this one dive deep into the Audi allroad to talk about what we like, and don't like about this Wagon. Our big question, has Audi set this car up to fail? It is similar in size and capability to the Q5, but yet, it cost thousands more.
What's the answer? That's what we find out on this episode of Rumblestrip.NET and Ten Minute Test Drive

President Obama has some interesting thoughts on the destruction of private wealth. He rails against millionaires and billionaires not paying their fair share of taxes. There is a huge difference between a millionaire and a billionaire. Only a very few are billionaires. The top 10 percent of income earners already pay more than 70 percent of all income taxes (47 percent pay none).
If a man works a lifetime and saves a million dollars to retire on and invests it at 3.5 percent he will earn $35,000 on his money. Is this millionaire a rich man? I think not.
Private wealth here in Fort Wayne funds such organizations as Matthew 25 health clinic, food banks and rescue missions. Confiscatory taxes that destroy private wealth means less money for charities and more money for government bureaucrats to waste.
We have the highest corporate taxes in the world. More money for government; less money to create jobs.
It is my opinion that the president is an economics moron.

- 1
- person in the U.S. has this name View Herbert Nishida on Whitepages
Meaning & Origins
From an Old French name of Germanic (Frankish) origin, introduced to Britain by the Normans. It is derived from heri, hari 'army' + berht 'bright, famous'. An Old English form, Herebeorht, existed in England before the Conquest, but was superseded by the Norman form, which gave rise to an important surname. The family in question were earls of Pembroke in the 16th and 17th centuries; they included the poet George Herbert. By the end of the Middle Ages Herbert was little used, although it remained a favourite with some families, notably the Saint Quintins of East Yorkshire. Its greater frequency in Britain from the 19th century onwards is due partly to the trend for the revival of medieval names of Germanic origin and partly to the trend for the transferred use of surnames.
|396th in the U.S.
Japanese: 'western rice paddy'; mostly found in western Japan and the island of Okinawa.

Merc may not have had the results, however, Lewis Hamilton is adamant he's joined a team that is not only hungry for success but doesn't know how to lose.
Mercedes may not have had the results, however, Lewis Hamilton is adamant he's joined a team that is not only hungry for success but doesn't know how to lose.
Mercedes officially launched their 2013 challenger, the W04, at Jerez on Monday afternoon, hours after Nico Rosberg had put in the first laps for promotional footage.
A "sophisticated evolution of last year's car", the W04 has a vanity panel hiding the stepped-nose, a new five-element front wing design and a second-generation Coanda exhaust at the rear.
The W04 will be the first Mercedes F1 car that Hamilton will race in a World Championship after the Brit swapped over from McLaren at the end of last season.
And although several F1 personalities have voiced concerns over Hamilton's move, the 28-year-old believes he has joined a Formula One that is primed for success.
"It's a very special day for me to officially present our Mercedes-Benz Silver Arrow to the world," he said.
"There is no company with a longer history in grand prix racing than Mercedes-Benz and it is an honour for me to tread in the footsteps of legends like Juan Manuel Fangio, Sir Stirling Moss and Michael Schumacher.
"t's the start of a new chapter for me, a new adventure, and when I walked through the doors in Brackley, I was so excited to get down to work. I've been at the factory for a few days now, getting to know the guys, meeting my mechanics and engineers, learning myself into the team and I have never seen a group of people that is hungrier for success than this one.
"They have been flat out this winter trying to pack more performance into the new car and I can't wait to drive it and see where I can make a difference to help push the team forward with Nico."
He added: "This is a new start for me with the team in Brackley but I have worked with Mercedes-Benz for a very long time now, and I learned one thing most of all: Mercedes-Benz doesn't know how to lose.
"We are playing a long game here but I know we will have success together and I'm excited to be a big part of making it happen."
Hamilton, though, downplayed the chance of Mercedes suddenly leaping to the front of the pack after they finished down in fifth last year with just one race victory.
"The target is to improve on last year. Last year they didn't have a strong year.
"They got one win, but they didn't have enough podiums, didn't have anywhere near the success they deserved.
"This year is about one step at a time. Finish the first race, getting on the podium, and then trying to win races."
Hamilton will put in his first laps in the new car late Monday afternoon as he too does his bit of filming.
"It looks a beautiful car, I'm really excited about getting into it and finding out what it feels like.
"I have no idea where it is at the moment apart from seeing some aero results, and the guys have made some improvements, but it is still an evolution of last year's car.
"This year is about trying to get settled in the team, get a good working relationship and working to steer this car in the right direction and also next year's car.
"We have to deliver as a team, of course, but I am not a miracle worker. I'm going to work as hard as I can with the team to make steps forward."

One man is dead and another is in a hospital in critical condition after they were shot Friday night, according to the Fort Wayne Police Department.
Officers of the Fort Wayne Police Department responded to a call of a possible shooting at 9:32 p.m. near the intersection of Hanna and Milton streets. Officers found a green Oldsmobile that was parked facing westbound on Milton with two men inside. Both appeared to have suffered gunshot wounds, according to FWPD spokesman Sgt. Mark Brooks.
One of the victims was pronounced dead at the scene. The other was taken to a local hospital in critical condition.
Witnesses reported seeing a male subject get out of the rear of the vehicle and flee northbound on foot.
Police have no additional information about the subject at this time, Brook said.
The dead man's name is expected to be released by the Allen County Coroner's Office after an autopsy.

From the Pitch: With Guilherme and Blaike Week 4

JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. (Sept. 29, 2010)
- ETSU men's soccer players
Guilherme Reis
(Belo Horizonte, Brazil) and
Blaike Woodruff
(Georgetown, Texas) will be stopping by throughout the season to provide a weekly blog on life as an ETSU men's soccer player. Here is week four of From the Pitch featuring Blaike Woodruff.
September 29
Our past two matches against Winthrop and Marshall have both ended in a good victory for us. We are on a undefeated win streak at home, which was our goal coming into this period of continuous home games. We are ranked eighth in the region at this point and we feel that the ranking only needs to get better. We made our first goal of becoming ranked regionally, now the next step is to be recognized nationally.
We have players that are becoming better as each game goes on which is only going to make us better. Players off the bench are also contributing greatly to the team when they come into the game, which is a big part of our success. The team is starting to look as a whole on and off the field. Every film session, training, and recovery days all prepare us for the next game. For the next win.
Our winning mentality is almost here as a team. These next few games are crucial to our success and our confidence. With all the hard work we put in at training and in games, there is no reason why we shouldn't be successful. But it all comes down to desire and want as a team. Everyone should come out and watch us as we face off against Campbell on Thursday at 7 p.m. and Mercer on Saturday at 7 p.m. as we make a push for the conference championship.
Until next time,
Blaike Woodruff #4

SOUTHWEST ASIA (AFNS) — With no one in sight, a trash truck pulls up to one of the many orange dumpsters throughout the base. As the driver and his crew dismount to empty the dumpster, so does a crew of four Airmen. However, before the dumpster can be emptied, these Airmen jump into it and begin a process of what some might describe as a very dirty job.
"I found one†says an Airman. "BINGO!†says the other. "Two more security violations, a boarding pass with all the personal information on it and a customs form complete with his home mailing address.â€
The 379th Expeditionary Civil Engineer Squadron's Escort Flight Tango Element is led by, Staff Sgt. Willard Hughes during the morning-shift and Staff Sgt. Anthony Espino during the night-shift. These gentlemen lead a team of 18 Airmen, whose primary duties are to dive into dumpsters in search of items containing information that could present a security risk to service members, their families and the base.
Tango Element members, sometimes referred as the "Dumpster Diversâ€, recover an average of 400 operations security violations a week.
"Our mission is to look into the dumpsters looking for OPSEC — critical information, maps, names, addresses and uniforms,†Hughes said. "Once we find these items, they are logged into the system, verified, we notify the unit's first sergeant and create a weekly report which is sent to wing leadership.â€
In accordance with the Air Force Central 100 percent shred policy, outlined in the Air Force Instruction 10-701, Operations Security, the 379th ECES will oversee and conduct the wing's "dumpster dive†program. In total, the divers continuously inspect more than 150 dumpsters on a daily basis.
"Our job is to ensure the safety and security of not only our Air Force mission, but our coalition partners as well,†Espino said. "There are a lot of personal and work-related items found that can potentially lead to credit card fraud, identify theft and impede our mission capabilities.â€
Master Sgt. Marcus Sidney, the 379th ECES Wing Escort Program manager, validates and categorizes all items recovered by Tango Element.
The three categories are uniforms, rules information and critical information. However, the biggest OPSEC category violation is the rules information that contains privacy act and personal information such as receipts, mailing labels, documents and pictures.
"During rotation season is when we see an influx,†said the 18-year veteran. "As a base, there were more than 1,900 OPSEC violations for the month of June.â€
This year alone, there have been more than 9,000 OPSEC violations. In 2011 there were more than 22,000 total violations.
"We protect everyone from themselves,†said Airman 1st Class Othniel Lambert, who is assigned to the 379th ECES Escort Flight. "We're here as a safety net to catch any sensitive items before it gets into the wrong hands.â€
The job itself can be a very dirty job, but Tango Element members protect everyone by getting inside and inspecting the dumpster every day looking for information that may compromise the security and safety of personnel and the base.
March Air Reserve Base does not maintain an operational security posture as stringent as the base depicted in this article, partially due to our location in the continental U.S., however, that does not absolve us of the responsibility of ensuring we all comply with mandated DOD OPSEC policies.

When it comes to protecting life and property from severe weather, minutes matter.
Whether you're a parent watching your kids playing soccer on the field, a county official managing the safety of attendees during an outdoor county fair, or a school administrator in charge of keeping thousands of students safe, having the earliest possible notification of approaching severe weather can mean the difference between life or death.
Our advanced technology provides the fastest alerts to approaching severe weather with lightning.
The vast majority of lightning stays in the sky and jumps from cloud-to-cloud. Meteorologists and climate scientists have long known that this in-cloud lightning is an early sign of impending severe weather.
Knowing that in-cloud lightning plays a role in the formation and intensity of many kinds of extreme weather, we established the world's largest and most advanced lightning sensor network.
The sensors in our network continuously monitor, calculate and report where and when lightning strikes occur in the clouds or on the ground – what meteorologists call total lightning.
Total lightning detection makes it possible to deliver our exclusive Dangerous Thunderstorm Alerts (DTAs). DTAs are issued automatically to WeatherBug app users and enterprises across many industries – including schools and universities, sports and recreation, emergency response, aviation and more – wherever and whenever the weather plays a key role in safety and operations.
DTAs are 50% faster, on average, than other alerts. These severe weather alerts are issued when our Total Lightning Network™ detects high rates of lightning, which indicate increased potential for potentially dangerous conditions such as:
We issue Dangerous Thunderstorm Alerts when lightning detection rates exceed a predetermined threshold. Detailed weather bulletin information is also provided within the text alert. DTAs are updated every 15 minutes until the dangerous weather is no longer a threat, and the alert expires.
DTAs are issued on all WeatherBug apps and online at www.WeatherBug.com. Our enterprise customers see DTAs visually depicted in StreamerRT by a purple polygon encompassing the alert area. The polygon displays the area, size, direction and speed of the severe lightning activity.
Along with DTAs, we also issue watches and warnings from the National Weather Service (NWS) through our line of WeatherBug apps and enterprise tools. DTAs do not supersede the alerts issued by the National Weather Service, and should be used together to help enhance severe weather notification and alerting for information and safety. Learn more about these alerts.

This story was updated at 6:20 p.m. July 11.
Police have identified the man found dead in his Rockville home and are questioning his children about the circumstances surrounding his death.
Early Thursday morning, Montgomery County police arrived at the 9800 block of Juniper Hill Road in response to a 911 call about a man not breathing.
When police arrived on the scene, they pronounced Chandrasekhar Korapati, 50, dead, according to a news release from the department.
Based on initial findings, investigators believe Korapati was involved in an altercation with his son and daughter, 19 and 20 years old, respectively, according to a police report.
The son called 911 around 6:20 a.m. The two children where in the home when police arrived.
"When officers arrived, circumstances were such that they think it [the death] is suspicious," Daly said.
The two children and other family members are being questioned as the investigation continues, according to police.
Korapati has had two domestic violence incidents along with a contract claim filed against him by Prince George's County, online court records show.
In one of the cases, which took place in March 2006, a judge granted a protective order and ordered him to leave his house, and not to enter the home of the person asking for the protective order or to abuse that person.
A second protective order was sought against him in December 2008.
In that case, a judge granted an interim protective order and a temporary protective order. That order was later dismissed after the petitioner failed to appear in court.
St. John Barned-Smith contributed to this report.

Test ID: LSDU
Lysergic Acid Diethylamide (LSD) Confirmation, Urine
Useful For Suggests clinical disorders or settings where the test may be helpful
Confirming use of lysergic acid diethylamide
Clinical Information Discusses physiology, pathophysiology, and general clinical aspects, as they relate to a laboratory test
Lysergic acid diethylamide (LSD) is an extremely potent psychedelic ergot alkaloid derived from the fungus, Claviceps purpurea.(1) The drug LSD binds to serotonin receptors in the central nervous system and acts as a serotonin agonist.
The clearance half-life of LSD averages 3 to 4 hours. It takes 5 to 7 half-lives to clear 98% of a drug dose. Therefore, the presence of LSD greater than the lower limit of quantification (LOQ; cutoff concentration) indicates exposure to LSD within 1 day.(2)
LSD is metabolized to 2-oxo-3-hydroxy-LSD, which is present at concentrations 16 to 43 times higher than LSD, and is likely to be present in urine for up to 4 days after last exposure.(3,4)
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.
Cutoff concentrations:
<0.5 ng/mL
<5.0 ng/mL
Interpretation Provides information to assist in interpretation of the test results
Lysergic acid diethylamide (LSD) exposure is confirmed if LSD is present >0.5 ng/mL or if 2-oxo-3-hydroxy-LSD is present >5.0 ng/mL.
Cautions Discusses conditions that may cause diagnostic confusion, including improper specimen collection and handling, inappropriate test selection, and interfering substances
The liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry test is not subject to any known interference.
Clinical Reference Provides recommendations for further in-depth reading of a clinical nature

I grow cacti & succulents indoors and sometimes the plants get leggy and look stretched because there isn't enough light available indoors over the winter. The way to prevent this is to give your plants the amount of light they require. But when that isn't an option you can always freshen up your plants but taking cuttings and making new plants.
If you're happy with the way your plant is growing or looking you can also use this method to propagate them and make more to grow or give away. No special chemicals or hormones are needed for most succulent plants and as you'll see sometimes you don't even need soil. No parts of the plant will go to waste.
Step 1: Choose the succulent plant you want to propagate
When a succulent plant begins to grow like this you have a couple of options. You can remove the lower leaves and plant it deeper or you can do what I did. I first removed the lower leaves and set them aside to dry for about three days in bright (but indirect) light. The reason we do this is because we have to let the cuts callous over to prevent rot. The second thing I did was cut off the top and also set it aside to dry for three days. What you're left with is just the "stump" of the original plant but even that you should keep because it will send out new leaves and plants that you can cut off and also root later.
After the three days you can simply set your leaf cuttings on a pot of soil and wait for them to root. The top portion that you removed can also be inserted into soil and rooted. The "stump" we created should be kept somewhere shady and not watered much if at all until new growth appears.
Some very beautiful succulents on your page!
I represent Scenescape, a collection of rare and exotic succulents , collected over the past 25 years from around the world. I would like to inform you about our site www.scenescape.org and FB page www.facebook.com/scenescape
It would be great to have you and your readers over. We would be happy to feature you on our page too.
One thing I learned is that even tho these are "sun loving" plants, they are not "desert sun" loving plants. It may sound silly but after watering some and placing them lovingly in the sun for a few hours, they literally started burning up. A tough lesson but a good one.
Another lesson is not all Escheveria are alike. The ones that are called hybrids do not always propagate from leaf cuttings. I have a Graptoveria Opalina that looks pretty lanky. I am not sure that if I cut it off at the top, it will re-root. So I am still contemplating that. I also have an Escheveria Perle V Nurnberg with the same problem. Perle is definitely not propagating from leaf cuttings so it make me wonder. Will it survive the cut?
You don't want to put any plant in the sun right after watering them. The water heats up and burns the crap out of plants when it is hot outside.
To anyone: Do you think it is better to cut off and re-pot the little chicks or to re-pot the whole plant? I read that the "hen" will die after a couple years but I wasn't sure how that affected the offshoots.
does it make a difference how big the leaves are?
it is now autumn and i took a leaf off in the summer and it has not done anything yet. it has not rotted nor has it rooted. how long will this take.
plants in the UK slow down at this time of year and if it does not do anything soon, it will end up as part of the compost in the pot.
any tips are very welcome.
Some others you can do would be:
Aspidistra elatior "cast iron plant"
Some of these have large foliage and can provide you with the privacy that you'd lose by keeping the blinds open.

I am preparing to install a perimeter drain in my crawlspace. I will be using NDS-EZ drain pipe. My question is Where is the proper place to dig the trench? Next to the foundation or 1 foot away from it? I was planning on digging right down next to the foundation, which in this area is only 18" max but I have since read where it should be 1 foot away from the foundation. If this is correct, why?
Take the 2-minute tour ×
Home Improvement Stack Exchange is a question and answer site for contractors and serious DIYers. It's 100% free, no registration required.
Typically a perimeter drain system is installed within 12 inches of the foundation wall. The gravel backfill then rests against the foundation and the pipe is 6 inches or so out from the wall.
In your case, I don't think it would make much difference in the performance of your drain. Not sure exactly what you meant by 18" max. Is the foundation only 18" deep or your drain to be installed no more than 18" deep? You definitely don't want to dig deeper or too close to a shallow foundation so as not to undermine it. Good luck.

They say that every cloud has a silver lining, but for fall '14, Joseph Altuzarra proved he could do one better. And, for him, that meant pops of hot pink, tangerine, and combat blue.
It was Altuzarra's strategic use of colors that gave classics a kooky wink. The oversized lapels of gorgeous wrap coats flipped over to reveal a shocking blue, while pink peeked out from inside an otherwise all-gray topper. The New York-by-way-of-Paris designer also highlighted the seams of clean-lined dresses, giving each shapely frock a little something special.
A bright tapestry of tops provided tons of texture and fringe that swung with every model's step, and there were statement-making furs that took on geometric patterns of colorblocking. And, for the closing of the show, down the runway came the slinkiest of silk slip dresses in neutral silvers and creams to serve as our last impression. No, perhaps the ending note was not as colorful as the start, but with Altuzarra's attention to every detail, it was still a strong and masterful one.

(Editor's note: With President Obama expected to name Jack Lew as Treasury secretary on Thursday, here's a profile in the Nov. 3, 2012 print edition of National Journal.)
Jacob Lew isn't the most obvious figure to be charged with securing the Obama legacy. The purposefully low-key White House operative is content to work behind the scenes, and he always takes care to speak strictly on behalf of the president. Yet this Jewish son of middle-class parents from Queens, a stranger to President Obama's Chicago-centric universe, could help cement the way the first African-American president is remembered if Lew can cut a sweeping budget deal in the coming months.
To do that, however, he might have to give ground and trigger what critics may see as the first steps in the dismantling of the modern social-welfare state by allowing Republicans to chip away at the very ideal that has inspired and informed Lew's public service since the days he learned Washington's mores at Tip O'Neill's side.
It's a lot to ask. But that will be Lew's job as Obama's chief of staff, a position that could expire in two months and, with it, his leverage. Should Obama win, Lew is seen as a top contender for Treasury secretary, with the biggest mark against him that he is so highly valued in his current post, Obama might prefer to keep him at the White House. Either way, the task of cutting a "grand bargain" doesn't grow any easier. If Lew can close a lame-duck compact that somehow chops the deficit, avoids the hated sequester, and largely leaves Medicare, Medicaid, and Social Security intact, Obama would be ranked with Presidents Reagan and Clinton, who cut large-scale budget deals that preserved costly entitlements. If he blows it, Lew becomes just another in a long list of aides who couldn't break the stranglehold of dysfunction that has seized the capital.
With the president's backing, Lew is determined to not let that happen. And he has no interest in repeating the mistakes of the debt-ceiling standoff. This time, there will be no chats on the Truman Balcony or glasses of Merlot for John Boehner, as took place in 2011 when the GOP House speaker and Obama tried to strike a grand bargain on the budget.
Instead, the administration plans to play hardball in the six weeks after the election. And the White House is looking not just to House Republicans for the contours of the compromise. Under Lew's direction, the administration instead will reach out to the Senate and to House Democrats to try to build a consensus before dealing too much with the tea party portion of the Republican Party.
At the center of this push will be Lew, a 30-year veteran of budget battles under Presidents Reagan and Clinton. Tall and thin, with Harry Potter-like glasses and salt-and-pepper hair, he looks like a typical Washington technocrat, an image that belies his talent for combat. "He's like a labor-union negotiator. He's not going to give you an inch if he doesn't have to," says Judd Gregg, the Republican former senator and Budget Committee chairman. "He's a true believer in the causes."
By causes, Gregg means Medicare and the rest of the social-safety net. These are the progressive ideals close to Lew's heart, friends and former colleagues say—and programs he will cut or change only in exchange for an equally big prize: in this case, the Republicans agreeing to more revenue, as Obama has called for from the campaign trail.
Lew has long been mindful of the tension inherent in his task. He has spoken publicly for years about the importance of deficit reduction. Yet he believes that budget cuts must be made with care, using a scalpel rather than a butcher's knife. "That is the only way to do it," he said in 2011 in a speech at a conference for a Jewish nonprofit organization. "I describe budgets as a tapestry: When it's woven together, the picture amounts to our hopes and dreams of a nation."
Lew's power has grown over less than a year as Obama's chief of staff—and he already has Republicans dreading a budget confrontation with him. Even as they praise Lew for his command of the facts and deep knowledge of the budget, they complain that he's too liberal. "The biggest challenge is that the drivers of a lot of the spending are income-support programs and health care programs," one House GOP staffer says. "Those are the most difficult for him to look at."
"You don't have to like someone to be able to cut a deal with him."—John Podesta, former Clinton chief of staff
Another aide spelled it out more bluntly, saying he doesn't appreciate Lew's negotiating style; as then-director of the Office of Management and Budget, Lew often acted behind closed doors in the summer of 2011 as if he knew what the Republicans wanted out of the conversation. The budget chief came across as presumptuous, unlike other top administration officials, this aide said.
People close to the White House dismiss these complaints as sour grapes. "You don't have to like someone to be able to cut a deal with him. I suspect that most people in the White House don't like the Republicans, too," says John Podesta, former chief of staff to President Clinton, who led the Obama and Biden transition team in 2008. "I think it's not actually that relevant."

The Ghigo laboratory
Biofilms are communities of microorganisms that interact with surfaces, and are known to display unique properties that differentiate them from free-floating, individual microorganisms. While biofilms are widespread and play many positive roles in all environments, they are also difficult to eradicate when adhered to surfaces in medical and industrial settings.
We use genetics, genomics, molecular biology, and various in vitro and in vivo biofilm models to better understand biofilm-associated functions used by commensal and pathogenic bacteria. We also attempt to translate our fundamental approaches into relevant anti-biofilm strategies in collaboration with clinicians and industrial partners.

Brodo di Pollo cookbook: Lidia's Italy in America
main ingredients: chicken
serves: Makes 4 quarts
Free-range chickens, if you can find them, will make superior stock. I also like the richness that turkey wings add to a chicken stock, so I use them all the time. You can save the chicken parts you need for stock over time, in a sealable bag or container to keep in the freezer, or perhaps your butcher can sell you what you need. Remove the livers from the giblet bag before making stock—livers will add a bitter flavor.
3 pounds chicken and/or capon wings, backs,, necks, and giblets (not including liver
1 pound turkey wings
8 quarts water
1 large onion (about 1/2 pound), cut in half
3 cups carrots, peeled and sliced into 1-inch thick pieces
3 stalks celery, cut crosswise into 4 pieces
6 garlic cloves
6 sprigs fresh Italian parsley
6 whole black peppercorns
salt, for seasoning
Wash the chicken parts and turkey wings thoroughly under cold running water, and drain them well. Put them with the water in a large stockpot, and bring to a boil over high heat. Lower heat to medium, and boil for 1 hour. Skim off the surface foam and fat occasionally.
Meanwhile, place the onion, cut sides down, directly over an open flame, and cook until the cut surface is well browned, about 3 minutes. Move the onion halves with a pair of tongs as necessary to brown all over, evenly. (You may also brown the onion, cut sides down, in a heavy skillet over medium heat.)
Add to the pot all the remaining ingredients except the salt. Bring the pot to a boil again, occasionally skimming the far and foam off the top. Lower the heat until the liquid is "perking"—one or two large bubbles rising to the surface at a time. Partially cover, and cook for 3 hours, adding salt to taste.
Strain the broth through a colander lined with a dampened kitchen towel or cheesecloth. If you want to use the stock immediately, you can remove much of the liquid fat floating on the surface by lightly dragging a folded paper towel over the surface. It will be easier to degrease the stock if you have time to chill it completely in the refrigerator. The fat will then rise to the surface and solidify, and can simply be lifted off. The stock can be refrigerated up to 4 days, or frozen up to 3 months. It will be easier to use if frozen in small (1-to-2-cup) containers. Once frozen, the stock can be removed from the containers and stored in sealable freezer bags, to be taken from the freezer as needed. You can also freeze stock directly in zip-lock plastic bags once it has cooled.
This recipe is from Lidia's newest book, Lidia's Italy in America, which was released in October.

Relive the scenes from the Dynamo's match vs. Sporting Kansas City on Oct. 9, 2013 one frame at a time through the eyes of our team photographer.
Dynamo TV is proud to bring you their newest series, The Pulp! Running down the topics du jour surrounding the Dynamo, The Pulp delivers all the essentials.
After the Wednesday night draw against Sporting Kansas City, the Dynamo failed to make up any ground on their perennial rivals in the Eastern Conference standings. They were able to pick up a crucial point, however, and have the weekend off before returning to the pitch against the New York Red Bulls in the regular season home finale on Oct. 20 (TICKETS).
With the Dynamo inactive this weekend, let's take a look at some of the big matches you need to pay attention to in the Eastern Conference that will have major effects on the Dynamo's playoff hopes and seeding.
Montreal Impact vs. New England Revolution (Saturday, 1:30 p.m.)
Montreal is now two points back of the Dynamo with two games in hand, which they make up on Saturday against New England and next Wednesday against the LA Galaxy. New England, meanwhile, is sitting on the outside of the playoffs spots with 42 points, three behind fifth place Philadelphia Union.
New England faces a tough task on the road, but they were seconds away from defeating first place New York Red Bulls at Red Bull Arena last week and Montreal is winless in their last four matches.
A draw or Montreal loss would be the ideal situation here, as the Dynamo are keen to holding onto the third spot or higher, meaning that they would bypass the 4 vs. 5 playoff match to begin the postseason. If New England wins out, the best they could do is draw level with the Dynamo on points.
D.C. United vs. Philadelphia Union (Saturday, 6:00 p.m.)
Philadelphia, occupying the fifth and final playoff spot, are three points behind the Dynamo in third place and two points ahead of the Chicago Fire in sixth. They go on the road to last-place and U.S. Open champion D.C. United this weekend needing a win to ensure that they stay in playoff position at least for another week. A draw, and Chicago could leapfrog them above the red line. A loss, and both Chicago and New England would have the chance to push past the Union.
Clearly, the Dynamo would like D.C. to do the improbable and get a home win. The Black and Red played well in a 3-0 loss to the Fire last week, as odd as that may sound, and they did recently knock off Real Salt Lake in Utah to claim a championship trophy. The more points that teams below the Dynamo drop, the sooner the Dynamo can clinch a playoff spot and we can all breathe a little bit easier.
FC Dallas vs. Chicago Fire (Saturday, 7:30 p.m.)
It's the Brimstone Cup! Two heated rivals (sorry) do battle in one of the final non-conference matches of the season. Chicago is two points back of Philadelphia for the last playoff spot.
As much as it may burn (again, terribly sorry), Dynamo fans will want to root for FC Dallas in this one. Again, the Dynamo would like as much of a gap between them and the teams below them as possible. According to SportsClubsStats.com, a Fire win is the result this weekend that would most negatively impact the Dynamo's playoff chances.
New York and Sporting Kansas City both have the weekend off as well, so they have no impact on the standings until next weekend. The Dynamo can come out of this weekend either steady in third position, dropped to fourth or all the way down to the last playoff spot. Regardless, the Dynamo will be five points behind New York with two games left to play when they meet on Oct. 20.
Put on your orange and settle in, it's going to be a fun final few weeks.
Dynamo broadcaster Glenn Davis is back on the air tonight with a new episode of Dynamo All-Access, presented by Houston Community College. The show will air on Yahoo! Sports Radio 1560 AM from 7-9 p.m.
Call in and give Glenn your thoughts on last night's draw with Sporting Kansas City, and what you think of the Dynamo's playoff hopes! Glenn will also have interviews with Dynamo players Giles Barnes and Warren Creavalle, head coach Dominic Kinnear and former Dynamo star Geoff Cameron.
Listen in as Glenn talks everything Dynamo!
The call-in number for the show is 713-439-1560.
The Houston Dynamo and Sporting Kansas City will meet again in a potential playoff preview when the Eastern Conference foes clash on Wednesday evening at BBVA Compass Stadium. Both teams come into the game with the opportunity of sealing their berths in the MLS Cup Playoffs with a victory – and they've met in the postseason each of the last two years. The Dynamo sit in third in the East after their 1-0 home win vs. Montréal, four points behind Sporting, who are in second after kicking off their road swing with a 1-0 win at Columbus.

I ran the Enlightenment e16.dmg file from here, http://trac.enlightenment.org/e/wiki/MACOSX , it works pretty good, but it runs on top of the mac osx default Window Manager (Quartz Compositor? i think its called). Is there a way to just run the enlightenment manager?

You mean, booting into an X11 powered Window Manager instead of the Finder and Quartz? No, this is not possible (unless you install Linux of course and boot this directly).
Apparently Aqua and Quartz-wm (the X11 implementation) can't be separated, if someone is a glutton for punishment, then they could get XFree86 to work, like was outlined in this thread, http://hintsforums.macworld.com/showthread.php?t=21116 . But then you can't run native Mac apps which try to communicate with quart-wm, so its kind of pointless.

If you only need 2D, Siemens Solid Edge2D is very good. Free and comes with a useful tutorial to get you started.

I've been using DraftSight for a couple of years now. It's available for PC and Mac and a couple other operating systems. It's fully AutoCAD compatible and has the same instruction set...at least so far as I can tell. There are a couple of tutorials for it to get you started.
It is free but you have to register your copy. It's a very nice product.
Nice of you all to help me, thanks guys, I'll give them all a try.

I second DraftSight. Good program especially since it's free. $2,500+ for AutoCAD is just absurd unless you're doing 3D all the time.

I'm trying DraftSight but I can't find out how to erase, copy or even select?

If you're having that level of trouble with DraftSight, then I'd have to conclude that you have not done the tutorial. Go ahead....do the tutorial. It's kinda fun and will get you used to most of the commands and procedures. You can operate DraftSight from the command line using AutoCAD commands but it's a lot more fun to use the graphical tools and mouse.
If you're operating on a Mac platform, you should be aware that the tutorial was written for the PC version so some of the display screens, particularly some of the preferences, won't be quite the same. It's a pretty small matter but it did cause me some head scratching when I went to work on my iMac.
BTW "select" is via single mouse click on the object or by a window drawn by dragging the mouse to describe a box around the desired objects. Delete is via the Delete key or by means of the little eraser in the "modify" toolbar.

My kids loved this recipe !!! We have made it once like "Bev" tells you too and then once we played a little bit. Both versions were excellent. For our play version we used equal amounts applesauce in place of the oil + 3 Tbsp of Nutella, 2 Tbsp of greek plain yogurt and 2 egg whites instead of the whole egg. Kids liked them both !! Enjoy
Bev's Chocolate Chip Cookies
From EatingWell: Spring 2004, The Essential EatingWell Cookbook (2004), July/August 2012
EatingWell reader Beverley Sharpe of California contributed this recipe. She updated a favorite treat by cutting back on sugar and incorporating whole grains. To increase protein, she replaces the rolled oats with 1 cup almond meal.
176 Reviews for Bev's Chocolate Chip Cookies
these are the BEST cookies! Everyone who tries them loves them! I make extra and freeze them then I always have some ready to bake.
Great taste and very easy to make!
I made two big cookies in my toaster over and they turned out quite soft. Maybe those who like softer cookies should try one big one! I didn't use the blender. Just creamed everything together and added the wet mix to the dry mix. I had to use whole wheat pastry flour instead of the oats...I found I had no oats while I was mixing them up. We loved this!!
This may be my new base cookie recipe. It has the right amout of spread and softness. I did use all brown sugar and may cut back a little next time. I made a batch with a good handful of mini chocolate chips and a batch with cinnamon chips. I think next time I might do dried cherries or candied ginger. Like virtually all the EatingWell recipes I've tried, this is a keeper.

I got up at 3:18 a.m. Saturday to go to the bathroom. Now mind you, I was really tired because my son, Jacques, had a dance contest the night before in Fort Smith, Ark., and we didn't get home until 12:15 a.m.
We took showers, and it was about 1:30 a.m. when we all got to bed. I haven't been up that late since New Year' Eve 2002!
So, I'm headed into the bathroom, and some how I got tangled in my wife Jenny's bra that was hanging on the door knob.

Christmas break has started, and I am ready for a hunting trip. Several of my buddies are heading to my lease in Clayton to do some bow hunting and camping.
It is going to be a good time, and, hopefully, some good hunting. The weather is going to be a little warm until this weekend, and then it is supposed to cool off again.
This is the time of year when the bucks should be chasing the does around that are coming into estrous for the second rut. I have heard some hunters talking about seeing bucks on the move in the last few days.
PANAMA — The Arkoma Mustangs and the Panama Razorbacks went overtime Saturday afternoon in the Green Valley Conference Tournament consolation finals, with Arkoma prevailing.

Built in 1938, the Bethesda Theater was one of the area's biggest cinemas. Many years and many dollars later, the theater has been restored, renovated and turned into one of the area's biggest blues and jazz hot spots.
The Bethesda Blues and Jazz Supper Club officially opened its doors on March 1 to the sounds of Grammy award-winning musician Irvin Mayfield.
Walking into the doors of the Bethesda Theater, patrons will notice one of the upgrades to the facility — a fully-stocked bar.
Just to the left of the bar is the kitchen, yet another addition to the theater. The menu available to guests offers everything from appetizers (hushpuppies with sweet chili dipping sauce and seared crab cakes), soups, salads, and a mix of steaks, fish and chicken. Executive chef Scott Mullen, who comes from the renowned Philadelphia Restaurant School, said he hopes the menu changes every couple of months.
Realtor and Montgomery County native Rick Brown is the proprietor of the club. Brown was raised in a big, musical family. His father is a jazz drummer and his mother was a singer and dancer.
"I've spent the past 40 years in the real estate business and about two years ago the opportunity to buy this theater came up," Brown said. "I looked at it simply as a potential landmark — to take a beautiful, old building that had a lot of family history in it and bring it back to life."
Before buying the property, however, Brown had a little talk with his father.
"When I first asked him, 'Dad, what do you think about me buying this theater and turning it into a jazz and blues club?' He's 87 years old and he still plays," Brown said. "He said, 'Well, Rick, where's the parking?' I said, 'Right out that door, Dad. There's a 340-car public parking garage right under our building.' He said, 'You've got a winner there.'"
Brown didn't realize before speaking with his father that the theater had personal memories for the family.
"[My Dad] said, 'By the way, your mother graduated from high school right there on that stage in 1947,'" Brown said. "I didn't know that when I bought the property."
Even though Brown has a rich background in a musical family, he knew he would have to bring someone on board who knew the ins and outs of working the club. That job fell to Ralph Camilli. Camilli has 35 years' experience, working mostly with The Cellar Door and Blues Alley in Washington, D.C.
"I guess my first musical contact is my grandfather, who was a drummer in Vaudeville," Camilli said. "I went to college at Georgetown. My sophomore year, I need a job to help support myself, so I worked at The Bayou on K Street. A couple of months later, some people were telling me about this place called The Cellar Door. I walked in there and stayed there for four and a half years. When you walk into a place like that and you get hit by Miles Davis, Richard Pryor, Carly Simon, on and on … it was really quite an experience."
Camilli worked with Brown's brother, Larry, at Blues Alley. It was Larry who introduced Camilli to Rick.
"[Larry] introduced me to his brother and this wonderful project here," Camilli said. "So I've been here since the beginning of last year. It's really a great experience when you have a place like this that works really well for the audience and the artist."
The artists are starting to line up. Already on the list are Mark Mosley (March 7), Afrobop Alliance (March 12), Cloudburst (March 13) and Potomac native and country music up-and-comer Maggie Rose (March 8).
"Even though we're known as Bethesda Blues and Jazz, we certainly do not feel constrained to limit our programming to those two genres," Camilli said. "We have a great acoustic little setting where almost any type of live performance would fit well in here."

"Ivanovic is a really super nice girl. I know her a little bit more, and I'm a big fan of hers."
"Her forehand is the best on tour by far"
"I've practiced with her I watched her play at the French Open where she beat Amelie Mauresmo. She's a great player. She's quite a strong girl as well. She hits the ball very hard and very clean. I think she's got a good future ahead of her. And she's a very nice girl, very easy-going, very focused, but a good tennis player."
"If there is an ideal of tennis perfection in looks, talent and personality, Ana Ivanovic is probably it"
"Ivanovic will soon have America eating out of the palm of her hand. She is charming, sweet and totally endearing"
"She manages to look angelic in triumph or disaster"
"Ana Ivanovic… is the most beautiful athlete in the world"
"The presence that Ivanovic has on court is amazing. She handles herself so well. She's so graceful, elegant and so positive; like Sharapova in many ways. She's almost like the Catherine Zeta-Jones of the tennis world. She's like a princess on the court: so feminine and yet so powerful with it."
"Oh man, is she awesome?! She is truly the real deal, coming really from nowhere, rising so fast. You look at her talent - it's amazing. She has the potential to get to the very top and win many Grand Slams."
"I really love Ana's game. She's got a fantastic forehand and I like her attitude on the court as well. We've covered a lot of her matches on BBC radio, including her win over Amelie Mauresmo at the French, which I thought was absolutely fantastic. "
