Got Leftovers? We've Got Solutions!
Once the gorgeous, garnished turkey has been carved, you may find yourself with lots of leftovers, and a family that is clamoring for something other than a standard turkey sandwich. Never fear! Turkey is a mild-flavored meat that lends itself well to a variety of dishes. Here are five tips to ensure you use up those leftovers safely, and without any bored taste buds.
Safety First
Before you can plan a leftover-centric meal, you need to ensure that all foods were stored safely. Leaving food out at room temperature is a major safety risk, since bacteria can double every 20 minutes when not refrigerated or kept warm above 135° F. Refrigerate your leftover turkey immediately, and make sure to use shallow containers for sliced or shredded meat (never refrigerate entire turkey carcass). Cover turkey tightly to retain its moistness.
Don't Forget the Sides
Most likely, turkey isn't your only leftover. You can further reduce food waste by incorporating some of your other dishes from the big day. Examples include turkey and vegetable stew, where you can utilize leftover corn and green beans, or chicken salad that swaps in turkey and includes cranberries and crunchy celery (most likely on hand from making gravy!).
Cooked turkey can always be frozen, which helps make future meal prep extra easy. Plain turkey slices will keep their quality in the freezer up to 4 months, allowing plenty of time for turkey cravings to return! Make sure to reheat frozen leftovers to 165° F. Use re-warmed turkey in any recipe you like!
A Change of Pace
After the heavy thanksgiving meal, most people are craving a change of pace, both in flavor and texture. Leftover turkey is perfect for a crisp, fresh salad, and leaning on ethnic flavor combinations makes a leftover dish even more attractive. Try a spinach salad with chestnuts, red onion, golden raisins, shredded turkey and a curry dressing. Turkey enchiladas or turkey spring rolls are also great options for a flavor shake-up.
Don't Ditch the Bones
After you've removed the meat from the turkey carcass, the remaining bones can be used to make homemade stock, providing bases for hearty soups all winter long. Simmer the turkey bones with 3 quarts water, chopped onion, celery, carrot, thyme and parsley sprigs and whole peppercorns for 2-3 hours. Skim the surface, and freeze for future use.

Hi, I would like to convert a String array (String[]) to a String which I can print. I don't know how to do this as there's no simple method like String s = stringArray.toString() or something as far as I know. What I'm trying to do is read a text file which has multiple lines and store the entire text file as one variable which I can then include in a JOptionPane statement.
Here is some relevant code:
FileInputStream fis = null; BufferedInputStream bis = null; DataInputStream dis = null; FileInputStream fis2 = null; BufferedInputStream bis2 = null; DataInputStream dis2 = null; try { //Reading file fis = new FileInputStream(rfile); bis = new BufferedInputStream(fis); dis = new DataInputStream(bis); fis2 = new FileInputStream(rfile); bis2 = new BufferedInputStream(fis); dis2 = new DataInputStream(bis); String aLine; int num = 0; while(dis.readLine() != null) { num++; } String[] notesarr = new String[num]; for(int i=0; i < num; i++) { notesarr[i] = dis2.readLine(); } //Display notes JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, "Notes: \n"+notesarr,"Notes",JOptionPane.INFORMATION_MESSAGE); System.exit(0); } catch (IOException e) {}
This doesn't work though because when I print notesarr in the JOptionPane statement it just comes out as "[Ljava.lang.String;@affc70".

Eh, it's an ok question. I quickly learned that a lot of people on this board giving studying tips also had crap grades when I saw them posting on the job hunt side.
I dunno karma prevents me from talking out of my ass as much as it does judging where others fallout in the rankings before I even took my first semester of law exams. But hey that just me. Besides when has never having had a legal job stoped anyone on this board from telling others how they should get one and what they will be doing there?
your bitterness towards the people on this board is astounding considering how much time you spend here.

Here's your chance to help us design the perfect speaker! We think there is a need on the market today for a pair of audiophile-quality Airplay-enabled speakers, for people who like both great sound and easy-to-use products.
We're intrigued by the possibility of creating an Airplay Speaker that allows for easy interfacing with an iTunes account running anywhere on your home network.
Weve been tossing ideas around internally, but we would really love to hear what you are looking for in a networked speaker. Do you think it's enough to be Airplay-enabled only, or do you think Android is where it's at and that we need to look at a speaker solution that supports both MAC and Android operating systems? What about Bluetooth?
How important is portability to you? Is it enough to have a pair of speakers you could just plug into a wall outlet anywhere in the range of your Wifi network that would stream music from your iTunes, or do you want something with a battery pack so that you can take it outside with you?
Stereo, or single speaker solution?
Wed love to hear your thoughts help us design the perfect speaker!

Stereo, hands down.
I'm not sure if there is yet an Android equivalent to Airplay, but if there is, it should be pursued.
I suspect that bluetooth is not long range enough.
I personally am not interested in a battery pack, but if you could make the power supply internal to the speaker so there is not a wall wart to deal with, that would be appreciated.
Size wise, I'd like something in the M3 range, maybe M2. Maybe both!

That's a great observation on the wallwart - I know how much rearranging I have to do on my powerbars to configure all the different shapes.
There seem to be apps designed to let you create an Airplay Receiver out of just about anything (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.bubblesoft.android.airbubble&hl=en), and other apps designed to let you use an Android device to run them (eg http://evolver.fm/appdb/app/honey-player)

Oh, yes! I'm partial to Apple products, so AirPlay only support would be fine by me, but you'd be able to snag a wider market by including Bluetooth, so I think that's a must.
Stereo, for sure. Portability would be great, too. I once lugged my Audiobytes (sans sub) to a cabin in the woods and it wasn't very convenient so I haven't done it again. To make these Axiom AirPlay speakers portable, in addition to sizing them right, you should offer a briefcase-style carrying case as an optional accessory. You could make such a case double as an outboard rechargeable battery pack with flat lithium ion or even flatter lithium polymer batteries (as found in some laptops) along the bottom of the case.
So many possibilities... This is pretty exciting!
I can explain it to you but I can't understand it for you.

I think having them as stereo rather than sat+sub is pretty essential as far as portability. It's why I haven't moved my ABs anywhere, even though I'd like to be able to move them around the house. It's just too much of a hassle.

I bought the Logitech S715i for the GF to listen to CBC and music in the kitchen. The ipod plugs into the top and i got a longer cable for the ipad. There is 1 external jack too.
Except for the wall wart it is a decent unit. Battery lasts for quite a while. Not bad sound, quite impressive actually for such a small, lightweight device...much better than the previous clock radio which drove me crazy with the distortion. Took it to the cottage too. If it supported airplay or other streaming methods it would be even more useful...

If they're battery powered, you should offer an East Indian boy as part of the package for your disabled buyers. If that battery goes dead while I'm listening to Rage, I need said battery replaced ASAP or I'll do some serious custom house reno's.
My best friend has family in Bangladesh. I could probably get you a few of his cousins.
Other than Apple support, this is really cool .

What a tease, I was just looking at Airplay speakers yesterday, we want something for the living room... now I have to wait for Axiom to come up with their version... ahhh!!! I'm a big fan of Airplay. From my phone in my pocket I can send and/or control the same music to my outdoor Algonquin's, and to any other airplay systems in the house- so the music is the same as you move from room to room and inside to outside- a very nice/clean effect to have several rooms playing the same thing and controlling it from your phone. Bluetooth is okay, but your source has to be in the same room. There are other non-Apple wifi solutions out there, but I'm not familiar with them. I'm (kinda) sure someone could come up with an Android app to stream music to airplay speakers. Itunes is cross platform and free at least for PC users. Bluetooth would be a more universal 'backup' interface for non iOS users. I know, just include a free iPod with purchase!
The perfect unit would be super small and unobtrusive, easy to put anywhere, with perfect, crisp clean sound and tight solid punchy bass. Since that's not possible you (the buyer) need to figure out how much of a compromise you're willing to make in one area to improve the other. When I was looking for some iPod speakers for our kitchen, the problem was finding good speakers at a reasonable price- at some point you cross over into the receiver + in wall speaker price range. Plus we didn't want huge speakers in the kitchen. We settled on a Klipsch unit at the time, a good small size for the kitchen counter, but with decent sound and decent bass when placed in a corner. It's used mostly for background music while we're in the kitchen though. Not the overpriced/over bassed (just made that up) Bose unit.
I agree the M2-M3 range for sound quality would be a good place to start. For a living room system I would be willing to up the size (from our current small Klipsch dock) for better sound. An optional wireless sub would be really cool for those willing to spend a bit more, but still optional for those of us who realize our true music listening will be with our full Axiom setup in whatever room we have it in.
I think a good starting place would be similar to your computer speaker setup- decent speakers (I assume, I haven't hear them) with an optional sub. I actually looked into those when we bought the dock. Personally, I'd pay at most ~$350-400 for this kind of airplay setup, which may price me out of an 'audiophile' Axiom option, but again, I would be using the unit primarily for background/convenient listening- when it's time to rock out I'm headed downstairs to the media room. I think stereo would be a must, but I don't know. Two speakers inches apart from each other may not really separate sound well. I'd take one good speaker over two crappy ones. Maybe a modular one speaker system would let people use two units, further apart, for better separation. But then you'd need some kind of hub/controller to interface with iTunes and decide which speaker gets which channel. Might make it more affordable for someone to buy one at a time and add on as they want.
Not too interested in a battery pack built in- maybe an external one like suggested above. I've never been impressed by battery powered speakers. Esp if that battery is trying to run wifi as well. I'm guessing you're going to be close to your wifi network which means you'll be close to a plug...
I would be more than happy to volunteer my time as a beta tester for the new units I use airplay almost every day to some degree.
Sorry for the long post, but it's something I'd be interested in. Can't wait to see if you guys come up with something.

Maybe look into 2 designs. 1 that is more stationary and 1 that is more mobile.
The mobile version should have a built in rechargeable battery with a small jack in the back to attach a cord to plug into the wall to recharge, as well as an option for plug in power. Maybe more of a "bar" design so it is one piece instead of 2, yet still stereo.
For separate stereo operation, AirPlay sends a signal to a unit for processing and sends the signal to the speakers. If you develop a stereo solution with 2 speakers, how do you send to the 2 speakers? Would 1 speaker get the signal? How do you send the other channel info to the other speaker? Would you have to wire the 2 speakers together?

I think that if you are going to make a product like this, don't just focus on AirPlay. While it is nice, there are a LOT of other devices out there besides Apple. Heck, in the phone market, July showed the following market share:
Android 51%
iOS 32%
BlackBerry OS 11%
Windows Phone 4%
(source: BGR July 2012 Phone Market Share )
Sure, AirPlay is not exclusive of the iPhone by any means, but i nour house with a mix of Apple and Android devices, the Android ones are the ones that play the most music. For me using my Android phone, I either have ear buds in, or a stream to my home theater receiver. Having something elsewhere in the house for casual playback, but with quality sounds would be nice.
WiFi would be preferred over bluetooth to accomodate greater distances from the source to the "receiver" point for the speakers, but having both would have its advantages too.
Technologies just as DLNA would offer a wide variety of options for connectivity.
Than again, it is probably easier to cater to a single segment of the music steaming audience, but if you want to true attempt at audiophile sound for steaming audio, then it SHOULD cater to more than one market component.
Oh, and definately a wall-wart. Some people are going to do more "permanent" installs and will just leave them turned on. Even with a "sleep mode" to save power, the batteries wouldn't last long. Most "wireless" surround speakers are powered via a wall-wart instead of batteries for this exact reason.

OCEAN CITY – The National Aquarium's Marine Animal Rescue Program will return a rehabilitated male harbor seal to its Atlantic Ocean home tomorrow morning.
"Hamilton," as aquarium staff members refer to him, will be set off from the Delaware Seashore State Park, which is located just north of the Indian River Bay Inlet, about 10 miles north of Ocean City. Hamilton will be fitted with a satellite tag, so visitors can follow his movements on the National Aquarium's website, www.aqua.org.
This seal was reportedly found on a Bermuda beach in late February and taken in by the Bermuda Aquarium Museum and Zoo to be treated for emaciation and deep wounds to his neck caused by fishing line. Seals are extremely uncommon in Bermuda, and this is only the fourth seal to be stranded in Bermuda since the 1870's, according to the aquarium.
The Bermuda Aquarium contacted the National Aquarium's experienced Marine Animal Rescue Program to take Hamilton for full rehabilitation, and thanks to a generous donation by Federal Express the seal was flown to Baltimore in March.
For more than three months, the National Aquarium treated the seal for abscesses and prepared him for release. The volunteers chose the name Hamilton after the capital city of Bermuda where he was found.
This is the 81st animal to be released by the National Aquarium. Formed in 1991 and staffed almost entirely by volunteers, the Marine Animal Rescue program has responded to hundreds of strandings, including seals, dolphins and endangered sea turtles, and to sightings of manatees, dolphins and other marine mammals.

The 68th Annual Golden Globes happened this morning and I thought I might take a peek at what some of the stars are wearing. It's been a while since I've seen red carpet looks so here we go.
Amy Adams in Marchesa. Of course a red carpet would not be complete without Marchesa. To be honest I'm quite tired of hearing that name.
Ladies rocking the full-sleeve look. From the top: Anne Hathaway in Armani Prive (this one has a bareback from Fall 2010) and Leighton Meester in Burberry Prorsum and Jimmy Choo shoes.
A 'big' and very curvy Christina Aguilera in Zuhair Murad. (she is big by her standards) Had to post this.
Super sexy soft curls. From the top: Dianna Agron in J. Mendel and Jayma Mays in Alberta Ferretti.
Simple and clean. From the top: Emma Stone in Calvin Klein and Tilda Swinton in Jil Sander (Jil Sander Spring 2011 is the bomb I'm telling ya!)
Designer cameos. From the top: Eva Longoria in Zac Posen, Hailee Steinfeld in Prabal Gurung, Heidi Klum in Marc Jacobs (seen here with Seal) and Scarlett Johansson flying the flag for Elie Saab [only one :(].
Kaley Cuoco in
a lampshade Katharine Kidd.
Ladies and gays OOGLE NOW! Joseph Gordon-Levitt in Prada
Natalie Portman in Viktor & Rolf. I just want to pluck that rose off her cleavage. She's here because of her naughty thank-you speech.
Jennifer Love Hewitt in Romona Keveza. She's too short and stubby and loose the belt girl. The runway version's tons better. The label had a dismal showing here so I'm only posting one look. Their bridal collections are more fun. Check out Farah Angsana while you're at it.
Ruffles ruffles. I like them all. From the top: Jennifer Lawrence in Louis Vuitton, Julie Bowen in Tadashi Shoji, Lea Michele in Oscar De La Renta and Sofia Vergara in Vera Wang.
January Jones in Atelier Versace. One for the guys! Even Ryan Seacrest admitted he was distracted when he interviewed her on the red carpet. Love her in Mad Men.
My favourites. From the top: Olivia Wilde in Marchesa and Christian Louboutin shoes, Milla Jovovich in Armani Prive (those soft curls are TO DIE FOR!), Megan Fox in a custom-made Armani Prive gown, Mila Kunis in Vera Wang and Mandy Moore (say WHAT) in Monique Lhuillier.
Last but not least, Sandra Bullock in Jenny Packham. My favourite hairstyle on the red carpet because it's the one I wanna have!

It make sense to get expert guidance on completing the claim pack.
Because, in the end, detailed, accurate and well supported evidence makes it much harder for a decision maker to refuse you disability living allowance. And, if they do, a tribunal will be more easily persuaded by evidence that's been consistent right from when you first completed the disability living allowance claim pack.
So, learn what legal tests lie behind those 600+ questions. Understand where to get, and how to submit, additional evidence.
Above all, get lots of ideas about what information you can put in all those boxes to give the most accurate picture possible of how your condition really affects you.
Our guides
Our disability living allowance guides are written by a qualified barrister and a welfare rights specialist who, between them, have decades of experience of DLA claims and appeals right up to Social Security Commissioners level. But they're written in an extremely user-friendly fashion - we've studied the law so that you don't have to.
Instead, our disability living allowance guides take you page-by-page through the claim pack explaining simply and clearly what kind of information is needed in each box. We even provide sample texts to get you started.
We also deal with issues such as how to fill in the form for fluctuating conditions and why its so important to get supporting evidence. We even provide check lists and record sheets for you to print off when: keeping records of your claim; telling your GP about your claim; recording evidence about a doctor's visit.
Our four 50+ guides to disability living allowance claims are for:
- adults with physical health problems
- adults with mental health problems
- children with physical health problems
- children with mental health problems
Sample pages from the claims guides
Sample page from the guide to Disability Living Allowance claims for adults on physical grounds re dressing and undressing.
Sample pages from the guide to Disability Living Allowance claims for adults on mental health grounds re supervision from another person.
Sample page from the guide to Disability Living Allowance claims for adults on physical grounds re aids and adaptations.
Higher rate mobility
Our 12 page DLA factsheet Giving persuasive information about how far you can walk can help you provide additional evidence in relation to higher rate mobility. It also explains in detail the kind of evidence DWP doctors are trained to collect.
Sample page from Giving persuasive information about how far you can walk
Bottles and commodes
Our 7 page factsheet Challenging the claim a bottle or commode will replace the need for help sets out eight different challenges to the suggestion that you should use a bottle or commode and includes sample texts for claim packs and appeal submissions.

Hey there are some cute real guys out there ( but ofc they will never be as cute and sexy as anime boys hehehe :3)
In my opinion, it may be a better choice for you understand that most people on the forum seem to not agree with you. I am not dissing you and I would love to be your friend (: I just do not want to see you get yourself into deep for no reason, since some people here will bash you for it. I am not agreeing OR disagreeing with anyone, just trust me. Better to move on.
Nonon Jakuzure - Best Kill la Kill baePretty damn great! #spoke2soonOta "The Cutest Otaku" 2016 - Lol, how's your account doing lately? Oh wait.
The majority of posters in this were males who took my statement as an insult, they directly felt the sting of "you're not as attractive as an anime boy" therefor they attacked. Also a handful of females made rude comments because of... well, reasons I won't state here to avoid confrontation.
Uhm, yeah don't worry about it, at the end of the day you're all a bunch of random internet people (as am i) and no one should really take anyone too seriously.

To be fair anime guys can be quite unrealistic (not that anime girls sometimes aren't).
For example all the guys who I think are supposed to be "cool" and attractive in Karneval are drawn with this weird crossing hair thing between their eyes that I presume girls are supposed to like.
However the only one of the main male characters that I'm confident is straight is the one from airship one with the whip, and he's not drawn so attractively.
Anyway something I figured out in college is that what people find attractive is largely influenced by how they feel about that person. Both males and females actually. Since you find anime guys attractive I don't think you're asexual. So it's probably just a matter of finding "the right guy" and the attraction will kick in. There's no need to rush that, especially in high school.
Putting aside the fact that the beauty of japanese animation makes ALL anime characters beautiful, anime boys are naturally more attractive just because it is a fantasy where ideally perfect yet unrealistic characters can exist and fill whatever role is desired. In any work of fiction (especially of the romance genre), the main cast is generally unrealistic and cliche yet perfect in each their own way. Only in a fiction would a lover send his beloved a thousand lover letters just thinking of her or threaten to let go high up off a ferris wheel just for the chance to go on a date with some cute girl. What's wrong with having an attraction to that sort of romanticized character?

I never stated that I understood your main problem. But from some posts I saw - I caught extra problems. Those being, doubtfulness and a lack of courage. No worries, can always work on it. I'm no psychologist, but i'll tell you that.. The world is depressing. Life is actually depressing, but those who are happy have worked for it, So what i'm trying to say is that you're not alone, Everyone is depressed because of totally different reasons.
Excuse me for my lame suggestions. Sometimes happiness can only come from yourself. Anyway, Hope you figure it out, wish you all the best.

I understand why you would feel like this. Truth be told,
anime guys ARE ridiculously attractive. I also find myself
having difficulty being physically attracted to the guys irl,
but then again, I try to go for a good personality when it
comes to guys in the real world.
Anime guys = One of my guilty pleasures.
Real guys = A possible future with them and therefore I need
a strong and kind man.
I guess that's just how I grew up to see it.

btw guys i just watched the world god only knows and i was laughing so hard bc i'm very nearly the female version of keima katsuragi
seriously though hilarious anime owo
I've been compared to anime characters before.
Physically; I'm practically albino, I never get any acme or blemishes on my skin, straight black hair... hmm what else... I have giant *** eyes?
That pretty much covers me physically I really don't want to go deeply into my personality because this is not a dating site, buuuuut I think I'm a pretty swell guy... OH and I love anime which is all that really counts anyway. ~.^
I'm not going to lie though I have had anime crushes over the year, well I don't know if you could call them a crush more like I wish I could find someone similar irl. Ex. Mamimi - Flcl

I used to have a phase like this. All my life revolved around 2D bishounens. When I meet boys, I'd immediately find an anime character comparable to them. My boyfriend and I used to fight all the time because he felt I kept comparing him to my anime crushes. ^^;
^ Well, actually, my boyfriend sort of gave me an ultimatum. Something like, if I didn't "grow up" and stop comparing him to anime characters, he'll leave me X( That was really scary for me and I forced myself to really keep myself from ogling at all those characters. At one point, I stopped watching anime and forced myself to watch live action instead. The thing is, I began to have crushes on Japanese actors but strangely enough, I didn't feel like comparing them to a real person. I guess I finally grew up?

Hmmm... Been a while
an introvert attracted to anime characters, pretty common thing these days. nothing to be ashamed of. i was never solely attracted to anime characters as a guy generally wants to screw everything that moves from puberty on (despite whomever may deny it) but i do find anime characters attractive. their idealistic design makes that pretty easy.
you just need to open yourself up to people and allow them to understand you, allowing you to know them in return. eventually you'll find someone you connect with, and attraction will follow regardless of whether they look like a pale demi-god or not.

Call me biased all you want but this is true in 90% of cases (with both men and women)
So i'm really making it impossible for myself. Cause even if i did meet someone I found attractive I would automatically hate them and assume the worst of them.
Haaahahha oh well I've got more important stuff to do anyway, I'll go be a vet and take care of sweet little animals <3
I'm not a dog with a bone. I'm not going to chase her on this. As far as I'm concerned the matter is over with and I have no hard feelings with lairefaerie. I'll happily discuss other matters with her on the forum. We just won't talk about her personal life, unless she specifically requests it of me.
Who knows, maybe they got me fooled and are really terrible people, but like I said in my previous post, it comes down to trusting people, and allowing people to become close to you. I admire you becoming a vet if that is the path you choose. I love animals, but humans beings are meant to be social. I know there are people that can go through life with minimal human interaction, but honestly, where's the fun in that?

I only have a few friends, but I have five pets and I am happy that way. Just because humans have a social psychology, it doesn't mean that you can't live a fulfilling life where being social with other humans is on the back burner.

I'm so surprised how long this thread has become. I genuinely understand your position OP, but I do not sympathize you. You dont have a 'problem,' you just want to avoid loss and the pressure of being rejected/judged by another human being, and that's hard to do. Animals obviously will not reject you if you feed them or give them attention, but humans are harder, so you find comfort in humans who wont/cant judge you in return.
Like I said before earlier in the thread, there is a reason why these characters are idealized; its to get you to watch the show and that's it. That's why shows like K-on, Lucky Star, etc are popular. Here's some cute girls they say, they're perfect in every way, if you dont like one, there's others to pick from, like fruit in a produce isle. Its standard operating procedure, but you're trying to refuse reality here.
If you dont want to engage in contact with an imperfect guy, perfectly fine. But please dont count out 50% of humanity because they dont meet the standards you created for yourself watching anime.

Europe's satellites track climate changes
In July an Ariane-5 launcher will send into orbit Europe's big new environmental satellite, Envisat. Scientists will expect fresh insights from its data, into how the world is changing. The 8-tonne spacecraft will continue and extend the work of ESA's ERS-1 and ERS-2, which since 1991 have established a distinctive role in watching global change, notably in the world's oceans and ice sheets.
An important ozone monitor was added on ERS-2. One of the new instruments on Envisat will observe the variations in ocean colour due to the seasonal blooming of life, which plays a big but poorly understood part in controlling the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. Improved instruments for gauging ozone and other trace gases are also on board.
Yet Envisat is just the flagship of a fleet of satellites being built in Europe to make better sense of the possibly adverse climate trends on the planet that is our only home in the desert of space.
While everyone wonders about unusual weather and what it may mean for the future, spacecraft are the world's chief eyes on current weather and climate variations. Surface stations are scattered very unevenly around the globe. They are especially scarce in polar, oceanic and sparsely inhabited land regions where, some climate forecasters suggest, the greatest changes may be occurring. Only satellites can observe the weather and associated climatic and environmental changes comprehensively and objectively, day by day and decade by decade. So several ESA programmes converge on the issues of climate change.
On behalf of EUMETSAT, ESA is developing two advanced satellites for routine weather observations. One is Meteosat Second Generation (MSG) to replace the Meteosat series that, since 1977, have watched the weather over Europe, Africa and adjacent regions and ocean from a geostationary vantage point. Besides its familiar use in daily weather forecasting, Meteosat provides a huge archive for climate studies, for example in helping to reveal changes in the Earth's cloud cover from year to year. MSG-1 is scheduled for launch in 2002. It will generate sharper images twice as often, and with twelve wavelength channels rather than the three in the current Meteosat. It will also carry the Geostationary Earth Radiation Budget experiment to monitor the difference between reflected sunlight and the infrared rays emitted from the upper atmosphere, which are partially blocked by greenhouse gases.
From 2005 the first Metop satellite will orbit over the poles. In a cooperative programme between EUMETSAT and ESA, Metop is the space segment of the EUMETSAT Polar System. This in turn is part of a joint European-US satellite system coordinated with the US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. The European and American satellites will share some basic instruments, including an Advanced Microwave Sounding Unit to measure the temperature of the air at many levels in the atmosphere. A puzzle about climate change is that the rising global temperatures inferred from surface stations are not matched by any long-term warming of the lower atmosphere. Additional European instruments on Metop will improve atmospheric soundings, and measure atmospheric ozone and near-surface winds over the ocean.
ESA's Earth Explorer programme aims to advance earth science and the techniques of observation from space, beyond the present capabilities of current generation of Earth Observation satellites. The first core mission of this programme is GOCE (Gravity and Steady-State Ocean Circulation Mission) due for launch in 2004/5. It will measure regional variations in the Earth's gravity more accurately than ever before. One of its benefits will be a better understanding of the ocean currents, which play a major role in the climate by transporting huge amounts of heat between different regions.
The second Earth Explorer core mission will be ADM (Atmospheric Dynamics Mission, 2004/5). It aims to fill a big gap in observations of the winds of the world. The computer models that calculate daily weather forecasts and make climate predictions, have to diagnose and predict the winds at all levels in the atmosphere. Observations that might check whether the reckonings are correct are limited to those relatively few places where radiosonde weather balloons are flown routinely. Coverage of the oceans and the Southern Hemisphere is especially sparse. ADM will use an ultraviolet laser beam to measure wind speeds at 20 levels in the air, by detecting echoes from molecules and dust particles carried by the winds.
In addition to its core projects, ESA's Earth Explorer programme supports smaller "opportunity" missions. Cryosat (2003/4) will find out whether the great ice sheets of Antarctica and Greenland are melting as a result of global warming. It will also clarify the role of sea ice in climate variations. ERS-1 and ERS-2 have measured year-by-year variations in the thickness of the ice sheets with a radar altimeter, but have detected little change overall. This may be because the radar averages the ice altitudes across wide areas. To look for significant melting at the edges of the ice sheets, Cryosat will use twin radars to detect changes across areas just 250 metres wide.
Soil moisture and ocean salinity are the targets for SMOS, the second "opportunity" project. Life on land relies almost entirely on the thin layer of moisture in the soil that supplies the roots of plants, and any global or regional trends due to greater or lesser rainfall would be one of the most important indicators of climate change. SMOS (2005/6) will use a multi-beam radio telescope to detect 21-centimetre radiation from the land surface, the intensity of which is a good indicator of soil moisture. The same radiation coming from the ocean will reveal the salt content of the sea surface, which has a major influence on ocean currents and hence on the climate.
The role of the Sun as a natural agent of climate change is investigated by ESA's Space Science Programme. Intense magnetic activity on the Sun seems linked to warming effects on the Earth, but the solar mood varies from decade to decade and century to century. When the ESA-NASA Ulysses spacecraft first flew over the solar poles in 1994-95, it showed that the magnetic field far from the Sun is much more uniform that experts expected. As a result, scientists were able to deduce, from magnetic records on the Earth, that the interplanetary magnetic field doubled in strength during the 20th Century, probably with related contributions to global warming.
The ESA-NASA SOHO spacecraft, stationed 1.5 million kilometres out on the sunward side of the Earth, has monitored changes in the Sun since 1996. It measured an expected increase in the intensity of sunlight while the Sun approached its present maximum of magnetic activity, as indicated by a rising count of sunspots. SOHO has also discovered an ever-varying dynamo deep beneath the surface that seems to be responsible for the Sun's outward show of magnetism.
When the Sun's role in the Earth's climate changes is better defined, anticipating its mood will be important for forecasting. Some experts think that the best predictor of the intensity of solar activity is the strength of the magnetic field at the Sun's poles, but this is hard to gauge. ESA's successor to SOHO will be the Solar Orbiter, due for launch around 2010. For one month in every five, the Solar Orbiter will swoop close to the Sun and observe its stormy atmosphere in far greater detail than ever before. It will also use encounters with the planet Venus to slant its orbit and achieve a better view of the Sun's poles and the magnetism there.
ESA is now examining a selection of five proposals for further core missions in the Earth Explorer programme. These would investigate atmospheric chemistry, clouds and aerosols, ecological changes, or water vapour in the atmosphere. The exuberance of the proposals, backed by dozens of scientists from ESA's member states and other countries, is a sure sign that many new possibilities remain for learning more about our planet from space. By 2015, when the Solar Orbiter will be helping scientists to forecast the Sun's activity for the following decade, scientific understanding of both manmade and natural climate change should be far deeper than it is now - thanks at least in part to Europe's climate-tracking spacecraft.

Neurasthenia is Greek for 'nerve weakness'. The disease was identified and named in the late 1800s when nervous illnesses and nervous breakdown became common in North America and Europe. The American neurologist George Beard popularised the term, attributing the 'epidemic' of neurasthenia to the speed and fragmentation of modern industrialised life - especially in the US. He identified six factors: 'steam power, the periodical press, the telegraph, the sciences, the mental activity of women, and the erosion of religious faith'. The neurasthenia diagnosis was based on cutting-edge research into disabling nerve diseases such as muscular dystrophy and multiple sclerosis. The name, however, never caught on among British physicians because many regarded it as an unconvincing American attempt to lend false scientific legitimacy to the old 'English malady' of nerves.
The doctor's diagnosis frequently reflected the patient's socioeconomic class. Physicians often diagnosed working-class people as hysterical or simply 'insane', but tended to diagnose social climbers as neurasthenic. Some feminist historians argued in the 1980s that the neurasthenia diagnosis was applied more often to men than women. This is difficult to prove because definitions of neurasthenia at the time were broad and often differed from doctor to doctor. Recent work suggests a roughly equal number of male and female neurasthenics.
The neurasthenia diagnosis fell out of use in the early 1900s. Its symptoms became classified under the broader category of neurosis. However, it had an unexpected resurgence in China in the late 1900s under the name shenjing shuairuo.

Critical Skills for Reading Success
The ability to decode is a critical element in reading success. Students who struggle with decoding and reading fluency are often left behind in whole class phonics instruction. In addition, they may be unable to practice and apply new phonics skills and strategies to increasingly difficult text. To meet the needs of diverse students, phonics programs must offer explicit, sequential, comprehensive instruction with ample opportunities to apply and practice phonics knowledge. Mondos Bookshop Phonics program provides direct teaching of letter-sound relationships in a clear, research-based sequence. Also available in Spanish.

Jonny and Corry Evans are set to be the latest brothers to feature at a European Championships - a fact that has helped ease any ticket arguments among the Northern Ireland siblings' family.
The duo never dreamed of pulling on a green and white jersey at a major tournament when they were younger, with elder brother Jonny Evans instead pretending he was Italy's Paolo Maldini while Corry Evans adopted Brazil's famous yellow jersey to emulate Roberto Carlos, yet they are now set to follow in the footsteps of the Koemans, Laudrups, Nevilles and De Boers.
Thirteen sets of brothers have been named in squads at previous Euros and four pairs are in France, including Taulant and Granit Xhaka, who face each other tomorrow when Albania and Switzerland meet.
Unlike the Xhaka's family, where loyalties will be divided, those related to the Evans siblings will be firmly behind Michael O'Neill's squad.
"The good thing is, we get to share tickets, so we've already talked about swapping a few around," said West Brom's Jonny Evans.
"Corry has sorted my mum out with a ticket and I'll sort out my dad with a ticket. It's great for both of us and it will be an amazing occasion.
"To be honest, I think it will be extra special for all the players' families and anyone involved in the squad and set-up.
"It's a massive tournament and occasion and one we can't wait to be involved in.
"Corry was always a Brazil fan and I was an Italy fan growing up. Corry liked the Brazil kit, so he was always (Roberto) Carlos and I was (Paolo) Maldini.
"We always looked at the major teams in the tournaments and we'd play against each other, whether it was outside with an actual football, or on FIFA."
Not only will the pride of representing his country in France be shared by Corry Evans, the younger brother's presence in O'Neill's 23-man squad also helps ease the demand for tickets.
"I'm very proud; it's going to be great to be in France with Jonny and hopefully play on such a big stage in front of thousands of people," added Corry Evans.
"We've definitely made our family proud representing our country together, but to do it at the European Championship is extra special.
"It's going to be great. We have quite a few family members so I don't know how many tickets we'll need."
Like the rest of their Northern Irish colleagues, the Evans brothers have only been spectators themselves during previous international finals.
And Jonny Evans had an excellent excuse to plonk himself down in front of the television four years ago when Poland and Ukraine hosted the tournament.
"I had literally just undergone an ankle operation," he revealed. "I'd come out of surgery and I think England and France were playing each other.
"I literally had the leg propped up the whole tournament, sitting watching the games. I was in a single armchair, in front of the television, recuperating from injury.
"Euro 2012 was a great tournament and I vividly remember thinking how fantastic it would be to play on such a stage with Northern Ireland."

The Forex world is constantly evolving and during its weekly trading hours there is a wealth of news a trader must keep on top of if they want to make the most money possible. Indeed, because the market can be affected by a number of dynamics, it is essential they know exactly what's happening at all times in order to avoid any unprofitable deals.
For example, let's assume the US Dollar is trading well against the Great British Pound during the first half of the week. This would be a good time to invest some money and reap the benefits of a positive market condition. However, by Wednesday a series of negative news stories emerge from the UK and affect the country's economic performance. These dynamics then adversely affects how well the two currencies are trading. At this point it's important to know what's just happened because it will influence whether or not someone should cease trading this currency pair for a while or continue.

Tale of elephants read to inspire bookworms
CHILDREN gathered at Cabramatta's Whitlam Library on Wednesday for a bilingual storytime session using the book Too Many Elephants in this House Today, as part of this year's National Simultaneous Storytime.
Trinh Nguyen (pictured right) of SBS Radio's Vietnamese program conducted a storytime session in Vietnamese to coincide with the simultaneous readings.
The picture book was read simultaneously in libraries, schools, preschools, childcare centres, family homes and bookshops across Australia.
Australian Library and Information Association president Damian Lodge said the event, which aims to encourage young people to read books, had more than 410,000 children in 2300 locations across Australia sitting down to read the story together.
"The 14th National Simultaneous Storytime is an important campaign that encourages more young Australians to read and enjoy books — turning them into lifelong readers," he said.
"This campaign highlights the important role libraries play in promoting literacy in communities around Australia."
This year the association and SBS created audio book versions of Too Many Elephants in this House in 13 languages other than English.
Too Many Elephants in this House was written by Australian author and illustrator Ursula Dubosarsky with Andrew Joyner.

Dec 20th: Parent Meeting
Dec 21st: Winter Festival
Dec 25th-Jan9th: Head Start and VPK Winter Break
Dec 25th-26th: Christmas. Center Closed
Jan 1st-2nd: New Year's. Center Closed
Thanksgiving, Christmas, Chanukah, Kwaanza. It's the time of year when millions of us plunge headlong into the season of GIFTS!
Many times, we adults do not notice activities or accomplishments of children. Distracted, texting, chatting, or just disconnected, we miss the opportunities to give children the precious gift of being there, watching them, sharing their joy or pride.
Many people consider the most important gifts the songs we sing to each other, the stories we tell, the walks together that share wonder and delight, the laughter as we recall a funny incident or simply a comforting shoulder for a child or friend to lean on during a difficult time.
The 10-minute stroll with a child to see the changing of the leaves or deliver a plate of cookies to a friend recovering from surgery is a precious gift - so many times more meaningful than an expensive toy wrapped in a box, played with for a while, and often tossed aside while the child plays with the empty box!
During this holiday season, let us remember the most precious gifts: being together, sharing simple acts of beauty and lovingness and fun. Not all gifts are found in catalogs or websites. The simple gifts we cherish are always returned!
Wednesday, December 20th We will have our parent meeting at 6:00pm. The topic of this meeting will be "Common Cold and Childhood Diseases" presented by Lee Rashford from Florida Community Health Center.
On December 21st, we are going to celebrate our Winter Festival. We have a great day planned for all of you. There will be Christmas Carols, Finger Plays, and short Christmas Plays by the children. Let's get together and celebrate!

Toyota reveals 2013 Corolla Furia
DETROIT – Toyota revealed the 2013 Corolla Furia concept Monday at the North American International Auto Show in Detroit.
The Furia is a sportier, more modern version of the current Corolla, which is the best-selling car of all-time. So, it's always news when Toyota makes any changes to the iconic Corolla and this may be the most extensive in years.
"The Corolla Furia Concept is an early indicator of where our compact car design may lead in the future," said Bill Fay, group vice president and general manager of the Toyota Division. "It blends a heightened emphasis on dramatic design and modern elements of high technology to generate curb appeal that will surprise a lot of people."
The front end seems to have the most extensive changes and the car itself sits lower than the current version. The back of the car also has a more modern design which resembles some of Toyota's other vehicles such as the Avalon.
When it was time for photographers to get a closer look at the concept on Monday, Fay joked about not opening the doors.
"There is no interior (yet)," he said.
