Chicken and Sausage Gumbo
I realize that this recipe is coming out a little too late if anyone was looking to make it for Mardi Gras this year, but it's worth having in your arsenal and it's something you could make any day of the year and be happy with.
When we lived in New Orleans we were introduced to many new foods. Many of them were traditional southern style dishes and I fell in love with the deep richness that so often accompanied the meals we tried. Gumbo was one of my favorites because the ingredients were fairly simple but there was so much depth to it.
I love the process of making a roux. Whisking together oil and flour and then watching it turn from a light brown into a deep chocolate color. The smell changes too as it slowly cooks; an almost nutty scent to start and then changing to a scent I can't even describe well, but it's aroma fills the kitchen and is completely unique to this process. The process takes time too. You whisk constantly, ensuring that it doesn't burn and questioning every minute if you've gone far enough. It might take a few trials to get it right too, but eventually you'll just know when it's right.
For this version of gumbo I used some smoked turkey stock that I had canned earlier this year. I was worried that it might be too overpowering but it ended up being a perfect combination with the other flavors and it's something no one else can replicate without creating their own smoked stock. Chicken stock would be the next best thing but if you're ever around, we'll make this one day and then you'll know what I'm talking about.
Chicken and Sausage Gumbo
adapted form myrecipes.com
1 pound andouille sausage, cut into 1/4-inch-thick slices
4 skin on, bone-in chicken thighs
Canola oil
3/4 cup all-purpose flour
1 medium onion, chopped
1 green bell pepper, chopped
2 celery ribs, sliced
2 quarts chicken stock
3 garlic cloves, minced
2 bay leaves
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
2 teaspoons Creole seasoning
1/2 teaspoon Filé powder
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
1/2 to 1 teaspoon hot sauce
4 green onions, sliced
Cook sausage in a Dutch oven over medium heat, stirring constantly, 5 minutes or until browned. Drain on paper towels, reserving drippings in Dutch oven. Set sausage aside.
Cook chicken in reserved drippings in Dutch oven over medium heat 5 minutes or until browned. Remove to paper towels, reserving drippings in Dutch oven. Set chicken aside.
Add enough oil to drippings in Dutch oven to measure 1/2 cup. Add flour, and cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, 20 to 25 minutes, or until roux is chocolate colored.
Stir in onion, bell pepper, and celery; cook, stirring often, 8 minutes or until tender. Gradually add 2 quarts stock, and bring mixture to a boil; add chicken, garlic, and next 6 ingredients. Reduce heat to low, and simmer, stirring occasionally, 1 hour. Remove chicken; let cool.
Add sausage to gumbo; cook 30 minutes. Stir in green onions; cook for 30 more minutes.
Bone chicken, and shred meat into small pieces; return chicken to gumbo, and simmer 5 minutes. Remove and discard bay leaves.
Remove gumbo from heat. Sprinkle with filé powder, if desired. Serve over hot cooked rice. Garnish, if desired.

"First you make a roux..." :) Can't wait to try your version. Sounds yummy! Thank you!ReplyDelete
This looks fabulous!ReplyDelete

That's a good way to do it. I use a slight variation. I make my own chicken stock the night before, then pick all the meat off the boiled chicken for the gumbo. If I'm feeling naughty, I'll skim the fat off the top of the stock and use that as my roux base. Better yet, go to and Asian market and do the same with duck.ReplyDelete
Hey, How are going on?ReplyDelete
This is a effective article of Chicken and Sausage Gumbo.This is article many many everyone help for us.It is very good article.So nice,this is a nice post.I also want to show about on Some people have bad opinions about trucks provided on community selling at Auction for trucks, considering that many of the models on community auction are already poorly broken and with comprehensive problems. While this can be real, not all models were poorly managed and irresponsibly used by their past entrepreneurs. Actually, there are some Auction for trucks that are a little bit used with low usage, and they look like product new; they are also in ideal operating situation, yet they are still respected at very low costs.
A Billion Thanks Only For You.

It is a sad fact that many people misunderstand the term "root canal." They may think of it as a torturous dental treatment that is to be avoided at all costs — but the truth is that root canal treatment in Abington can be a very good thing! It may be the key to relieving your toothache and getting your oral health back up to par.
To understand what root canal treatment (sometimes called root canal therapy) involves, you must first know what the root canal is. It is the area within the root of a tooth that contains pulp and the tooth's nerve. When an infection or damage affects the root canal, you may end up in severe pain.
To fix the problem and stop the infection from spreading beyond your tooth, your dentist in Abington may recommend root canal therapy. Here is an overview of how the treatment process usually goes:
Depending on the extent of the damage to your tooth, root canal therapy may be a relatively minor procedure or a major undertaking. Once your dentist has a chance to evaluate your situation, they'll give you more details on what you can expect during your treatment.
Some symptoms that commonly precede root canal therapy include:
In some cases, root canal treatment may be necessary even if none of the above symptoms are necessary. The only way to find out for sure if you need this procedure is to visit your dentist.
A root canal is often able to save damaged teeth that would otherwise need to be extracted. Although root canal therapy is a bit lengthier than an extraction and may cost more, it is usually the better choice because:

Hi guys, I'm kind of a newbie so bare with me!
I am looking to upgrade my equipment. I have been using Traktor Pro with the S2 for a year and some change and want to make the switch to CDJ's being the industry standard and all.
I have a really good deal atm, a friend of a friend is selling me Pioneer CDJ 1000 MK3's within my budget but I am confused about whether I can use this with SeratoDJ?
I want to be able to use CD's but I also want to be able to hook it up to my laptop and use it Serato.
So my question is, is this possible? I know I will have to get timecoded CD's but can I use SeratoDJ with them or is it only SSL? Am I better off getting another model?
(Might be worth adding that these will only be used at home. I just want a good bedroom setup so that I'll be able to play out and be comfortable on the club's gear.)
I'd reallt appreciate your answers

How To Choose The Best Strings For Your Electric Guitar
When it comes to replacing the strings on your electric guitar, you have a big decision to make. There are many options out there on the market and so many types of strings to choose from, but which ones are best for you and your guitar? We've taken a look a few popular sets of strings out there and have given our feedback on what are the best strings for your guitar.
- Ernie Ball 2223 Super Slinky
For decades, Ernie Ball has been a company associated with quality, and there are many good reasons for that. When you use the Ernie 2223 Super Slinky strings, you don't have to change them all the time. They are durable and long-lasting, and that's exactly what a guitarist wants. Some people find that they have to do a lot of re-tuning when they are first fitted, but that's a small concern.
2. D'Addario EXL110-3D XL Nickel Wound Regular Light
You get a very clear sound from these D'Addario strings, making them great for perfectionist musicians. The tone always stays consistent, and this matters a lot to guitarists who are aiming to achieve a very precise sound from their instrument. They are pretty robust when they've been looked after, but the sound they create will always be the big selling point. Not many other strings can compete on that level, so they're worth considering.
3. Ernie Ball 2221 Regular Slinky
For people looking to play a high octane style or a driving rhythm, the Ernie Ball 2221s are really good. They give you that strong tone that you're looking for. On the other hand, this means that they're not so good if you're looking for a cleaner sound from your guitar. They are pretty cost-effective too, so you won't have to break the bank to replace them if they do snap on you eventually.
4. Elixir Electric Guitar Sets Ultra-Thin Nanoweb Coating – Light
If you're looking for value for your money, there are no better strings than Elixir strings with nanoweb coating. They are the most long-lasting strings around, and they are anti-rust as well. Rust is a big problem for people who play their guitars a lot. If you keep experiencing rusting, then these are the strings that you should buy. They also keep their brightness of tone for a very long time.
5. Gibson Gear Light Vintage Reissue
For any guitarist looking for warm and full tones, then these Gibson Vintage Reissue strings are a must-buy. They hark back to the days when pure nickel wire was used and bring back that classic sound too. The change in tone that you notice when you first start using these strings is incredible. Most people who start using them never turn back. They're also very cheap, which is a big concern for many guitarists
6. Dunlop DHCN1150 Heavier Core 11-50
These Dunlop DHCN1150 Heavier Core strings are specially designed for musicians who play in dropped tuning. They offer great definition and everything that a metal guitarist wants. Dunlop understands that metal musicians need something different from ordinary guitarists. These strings are also very cheap, which is great when you consider how specialised they are. For the price you'll pay, you won't find any better strings for playing metal music.

This is a wonderfully soft superwash yarn which is hand dyed in small batches in Peru, and available in a gorgeous range of semi-solid and multi-coloured kettle-dyed shades. Because of its softness this is a wonderful yarn to use for next to the skin accessories like scarves, shawls, gloves and mitts. Of course you can use it to make great socks too - one skein will make a pair of average sized adult socks.
PLEASE NOTE: This yarn is hand dyed which means variations in colour can occur between skeins, even when they are from the same dye lot. The yarn you receive may not look exactly like the photograph.

When the second generation Kindle came out everyone was all a flap because the first version had been sold out for months. Ever since Oprah sang the praises of the device on her chat show, they'd been in short supply.
That said, with all the fuss, publishing houses were worried that the new Text-to-Speech feature on the device would cannibalize sales of audiobooks. Why would anyone buy an audiobook if they could buy the text version and just have their Kindle read it to them? (Then again, we're wondering why someone would buy the text version when they planned to have it read to them anyway.) Surely iTunes would make more sense and it wouldn't have that digitized voice.
Either way, The Author's Guild had a problem with Amazon offering Text-to-Speech. Executive director, Paul Aiken, told the Wall Street Journal that the feature violated authors' copyrights, as Amazon doesn't own the rights for audio recordings. Amazon has solved the problem by offering the Text-to-Speech feature as an option, rather than a standard function.
Amazon on Friday released the following statement not sounding too happy about having to change its Kindle 2 feature:
"Kindle 2's experimental text-to-speech feature is legal: no copy is made, no derivative work is created, and no performance is being given. Furthermore, we ourselves are a major participant in the professionally narrated audiobooks business through our subsidiaries Audible and Brilliance. We believe text-to-speech will introduce new customers to the convenience of listening to books and thereby grow the professionally narrated audiobooks business.
Nevertheless, we strongly believe many rightsholders will be more comfortable with the text-to-speech feature if they are in the driver's seat.
Therefore, we are modifying our systems so that rightsholders can decide on a title by title basis whether they want text-to-speech enabled or disabled for any particular title. We have already begun to work on the technical changes required to give authors and publishers that choice. With this new level of control, publishers and authors will be able to decide for themselves whether it is in their commercial interests to leave text-to-speech enabled. We believe many will decide that it is."
While it's hard to imagine digitized readings overtaking a version read by a narrator, we wonder if it really is worth all the fuss. The likes of say, The Audacity of Hope is read by Barack Obama himself. Surely people would rather fork out the cash for the audiobook than settle for a digitized version. What do you think? Is it a case of the Authors' Guild overreacting or do you think that they're well within their rights to be making such a fuss? Leave your thoughts in the comments.

A Bill is currently before the House Representatives which proposes an amendment to the Personal Property Securities Act 2009 (PPSA). The Personal Property Securities Amendment (PPS Leases) Bill 2017 (the Bill), as its name suggests, seeks to change what will fall within the definition of a Personal Property Securities (PPS) Lease.
The proposed amendment
The proposed amendment will change the qualifying minimum duration of what will be a PPS Lease. Currently, section 13 of the PPSA provides that leases (and bailments), which do not secure payment or performance of an obligation, but potentially could run for more than a year or are for an indefinite term, are deemed to be a security interest known as a PPS Lease.
It is now proposed that:
Why the proposed change?
The purpose of the proposed changes is to reduce the number of leases and bailments that would fall within the PPSA. This would, in turn, reduce the burden on what is essentially the majority of small to medium sized businesses. Their burden lies in having to register on the PPS Register to protect security interests arising from shorter term leases and bailments. What will still be impacted however, is longer term, higher value leases and bailments.
Where to from here?
The Bill was introduced and read before the House of Representatives on 1 March, 2017. We must now wait to see if any amendments to the Bill will be made and the outcome of Bill after it reaches the Senate.
Our Plain English Guide to the PPSA and PPSR provides a succinct overview of the legislation and its implications.
If you have any questions regarding the proposed amendment, please contact our PPSA experts in Parramatta, Norwest and Penrith:

The 10.5% crash in existing home sales is the worst November drop ever. Against expectations of a mere 0.2% drop, this is the largest miss in history asnd tumbles SAAR sales to the weakest since March 2014. The collapse in sales was across all regions, and ironically was accompanied by a rise in median home prices across all regions. Of course there was plenty of blame to go around, from inventory constraints to weather but most of all - paperwork - as new regulations - Know Before You Owe initiative, has meant longer closing times. In other words, wait til next month, it will all be great!?
The biggest MoM drop since July 2010.. and worst November ever...
Pushing the Annualized sales rate near 2 year lows...
As home prices rose...
Regionally, the weakness is widespread...as home prices rose everywhere...
November existing-home sales in the Northeast declined 9.2 percent to an annual rate of 690,000, but are still 1.5 percent above a year ago. The median price in the Northeast was $254,800, which is 3.2 percent above November 2014.
In the Midwest, existing-home sales descended 15.4 percent to an annual rate of 1.10 million in November, and are now 2.7 percent below November 2014. The median price in the Midwest was $169,300, up 5.3 percent from a year ago.
Existing-home sales in the South decreased 6.2 percent to an annual rate of 1.98 million in November, and are now 5.7 percent below November 2014. The median price in the South was $189,400, up 6.3 percent from a year ago.
Existing-home sales in the West dropped 13.9 percent to an annual rate of 990,000 in November, and are now 4.8 percent lower than a year ago. The median price in the West was $319,700, which is 8.3 percent above November 2014.
Of course, there were excuses... Lawrence Yun, NAR chief economist, says multiple factors led to November's sales decline, but the primary reason could be an anomaly as the industry adjusts to the new Know Before You Owe rule.
"Sparse inventory and affordability issues continue to impede a large pool of buyers' ability to buy, which is holding back sales," he said. "However, signed contracts have remained mostly steady in recent months, and properties sold faster in November. Therefore it's highly possible the stark sales decline wasn't because of sudden, withering demand."
According to Yun, although Realtors® are adjusting accordingly to the Know Before You Owe initiative, the main takeaway so far has been the need for longer closing times. According to NAR's Realtors® Confidence Index, 47 percent of respondents in November reported that they are experiencing a longer time to close compared to a year ago, up from 37 percent in October.
"It's possible the longer timeframes pushed a latter portion of would-be November transactions into December," says Yun. "As long as closing timeframes don't rise even further, it's likely more sales will register to this month's total, and November's large dip will be more of an outlier."
"Realtors® worked hard to prepare for Know Before You Owe, and we knew there would be some near-term challenges as the industry continues to adapt," says NAR President Tom Salomone, broker-owner of Real Estate II Inc. in Coral Springs, Florida. "Nonetheless, an early trend of longer lead times to closings is cause for concern."

Seems like the perfect time to hike rates?

Thank you to everybody who contributed in making the Danish Fly Festival 2019 a success.
The large numbers of visitors from near and far, together with expiators', fly tyers, presenters, fly casters, admin at network sessions and all the helpers created the atmosphere for a really good festival.
The proceeds which Federation of Fly Fishers Denmark generates are all channelled into aquatic environment projects and supporting fly fishing. At the Danish Fly Festival all the tickets at the raffle was sold out! It is great that so many fly fishers support us in our effort to contribute to fly fishing and the aquatic environment.
PS. If you have an aquatic project, please contact us. We would like to have our money "working" for the environment.
See you again in two years.
Festival greetings,

A lot of people wish to practice good hair care but don't know what to do. If you need to know the right ways to care for hair, you've found the right article. Keep reading for the ways you can improve the health and look of your hair.
Do not put the ponytail in the exact same place all of the time. Regardless of the hair tie you use, repeated stress will always result in breakages. If you have to wear your hair in a ponytail for your job, make sure that you let your hair hang loose whenever you are not at work.
Avoid using heavy conditioners if your hair is fine or thin. This only weighs your hair down giving it a thinner appearance. You can add mousse or leave-in conditioners to give your hair volume, and these will not leave a greasy residue.
Hair loves to be natural, so if you want a stronger, fuller head of hair, try not to use so many different appliances in your hair. Things like curling irons can harm hair, causing more damage than you might be able to repair. Therefore, it is important that you don't use heated appliances on your hair everyday.
Try a deep conditioning treatment if your hair feels dry. After you wash your hair and get rid of a bit of its wetness, use your conditioner and put a shower cap on for a couple of minutes. The heat generated will allow the conditioner to deeply penetrate your hair follicles.
Try to dry your hair naturally, rather than using a hair dryer. Styling with heat can really damage your hair and leave it frizzy and unruly. Instead, wrap wet hair inside a towel for a while. This will allow your hair to dry naturally, and will leave you with a minimal amount of frizz.
Blow drying your hair could actually damage it. It is best to do this by using the cool air setting and constantly move your blow dryer around. Untangle knots with your fingers while drying your hair to avoid damaging your hair when you brush it afterward.
Avoid rubbing or otherwise pulling at your hair when you use a towel to dry it. Your hair strands are likely to stretch and break and it will dry frizzy. Use softer patting or blotting to remove excess water. You could also try a gentle squeeze with your towel. Never use a brush on wet hair, only use a comb with wide teeth.
Proper hair care methods and techniques are great things to learn. When you think about it, everyone can benefit from a beautiful head of hair and the advice to get it. Most people have hair, so it's important to learn how best to take care of it. It's important for everyone to learn how to care for their hair, so share what you have learned.

Getting the correct answers to the science homework questions usually causes headache for multiple students. Most of them simply fail because they are not well versed on the various sources that can provide them effective responses. This article provides the appropriate solution for this problem through the following 4 key tried and true ways. Pay maximum attention on each aspect.
Have you tried the writing companies before? If the response is "No" then you have a lot to do. Nonetheless, this should not worry you at all. By having cash under your disposal, you can get any type of assignment aid from these companies including the science discipline. Simply give the questions and in return, you will be given the desirable and highly dependent responses. In addition, the highly skilled workforce for these firms can as well provide academic counselling and present useful hints that can direct you to quality answers. This is significant as it can aid to save on time. As a matter of fact, do not trust any company before you are certain of its competence. Try and skim through the previous clients' comment to determine whether it is worth handling your work.
None of the teachers will ever give you questions that are outside the syllabus. Everything is in the textbook. It is upon you to identify the best books that are recommended for science discipline and employ them in finding the correct answers. If you do not have one, you should start planning on how you will purchase. Moreover, the classroom notes can be excellent sources. That is, if the assignment is based on a topic that has already been taught by the lecturer. Despite the fact that some students try to throw away their notes once the topic is over, you should never do so.
Your personal tutor can extent his or her services beyond the normal classwork. To begin with, you can ask them multiple questions and they will not hesitate to give you the feedback. Some tutors can also personally do the work for you at a certain cost while others will only give you a significant advice.
Basically, the key function of these clubs is to aid the members get the right responses concerning their assignments. Therefore, you should join at least one if you are yet to. Work done as a group tends to be more efficacious than individual work.

A man that did 401 marathons in as many days - the equivalent of the distance between Stonehaven and Syndey - talked to the pupils at Arduthie School about his challenge.
Ben Smith spoke to around 20 pupils from the Stonehaven school, who then joined him on the first mile on what was his 281st day of running.
The new Stonehaven Half Marathon was completed in the morning, followed by lunch at Number 44 before moving on to finish the second half in the afternoon.
Ben took on the challenge with the aim of raising £250,000 for two charities: Stonewall and Kidscape.
The two charities promote equality for the LGBT community and support bullying victims respectively.

How to find a cool bag backpack
Outdoor activities are a great form of relaxation and connecting with nature. More and more people work in stressful environments and forget the small pleasures of life, such as going camping under the stars for a couple of nights to recharge your batteries and reunite with nature. However, as pleasant as it may sound at first, going camping does require plenty of supplies, especially if you are willing to do it in the wild, and not in fixed locations.
Packing is probably the most time-consuming activity before going camping, especially if you are going along with children. Adding just the necessary items will no longer be an option, and you will often see backpacks filing with unnecessary products your kids "may" want at a certain point.
Thus, finding the right backpack to cover all your essentials and a little extra should be your main concern. And, although the market is full of available products, in order to choose the right one you need to consider certain aspects. Our list of specialists has compiled a comprehensive buying guide to help you make the right decision and choose the coolest backpack for your following trips.
How we chose the coolest bag backpacks
There are countless models on the market, suitable for every type of trip and outdoor activity. But, in order to make sure you can select the right one for your own activity, you need to search after certain criteria such as the size, fabric, capacity, durability, and others.
Backpack capacity
We are sure you've often wondered which type of backpack would best suit your trip but never found the right answer. Although we do suggest you come prepared for the unexpected and pack a few extra items, the capacity of the backpack should first be according to the number of days you will be spending into the wild.
Thus, if you're only thinking about a weekend getaway, you won't require a backpack larger than 30 to 50 liters. This capacity will suit an average adult person with necessary products for up to three nights. The main benefit is that you will be traveling light and that your feet and shoulders won't feel too much pressure, not even after long hours.
For trips between three and five nights outside you should wear a backpack with a capacity between 50 and 80 liters. These are the most popular types of backpacks sold in stores. They are also the best choice if you choose a smaller amount of nights but have warmer thicker clothes or need to store in a little extra.
Extended trips, usually more than 5 days, require specific equipment and the largest backpacks available on the market. They are usually over 70 liters and are also suitable for winter treks or also packing your children's luggage.
Extra storage capacity
Aside from the regular backpack inside, we do suggest opting for backpacks with plenty of extra storage room in the form of pockets. The more the merrier, as you will definitely have an item to store in each pocket. Backpacks usually come with four different types of pockets in 2020 Elasticized side, hip belt pockets, shovel pockets, and front pockets.
The elasticized ones usually lie flat when empty but can stretch out to hold essential items like water bottles or tent poles.
The hip belt is extremely necessary and placed in very accessible places. They are perfect for accommodating small items within your range of reach, such as a smartphone, a camera charger, snacks, etc.
The shovel pockets were originally intended to hold a snow shovel, but now have transformed, depending on each manufacturer. They are large-sized pockets with plenty of storage capacity and are made to help you easily reach essential things like an extra jacket, a bottle of water, or other lightweight items.
Backpack fit guide
If you want your backpack to be as light as possible and not cause back or feet pain after your trips you should really consider picking the right size for you. To make sure you choose the perfect size, take into consideration a size appropriate for your torso length, as well as a comfortable snug grip on the hips.
Depending on your height and weight, as well as on your age and gender, there are plenty of backpack types you can consider purchasing. We suggest you pick a brand of backpacks with plenty sizes available, depending on the size of your torso. A well-picked backpack will not only give you the necessary amount of space to deposit your trip items but will also ensure a good back posture and will diminish the pressure put on your legs, knees, and spine.
Waist size is also important when picking the coolest and best backpack, as the majority of its weight should be supported by the hips, and not by shoulders or knees. If you have a narrow waist, we suggest opting for interchangeable hip belts for a better grip and closer fit to your own size. However, most backpacks come with adjustable hip belts.
Women should also consider buying a backpack specifically designed for their physique. This means smaller frame sizes and shorter and narrower torso dimensions. In addition, backpacks designed for women also have hip belts and shoulder straps closely following the contours of the female body for a better and more comfortable fit.
Usually, backpacks for women can also be used by younger hikers or children. It is extremely important to consider your own physique and muscle mass before purchasing any backpack if you want to avoid future back or body pains and extra weight on your shoulders.
Usually, hiking and outdoor backpacks are made from lightweight, waterproof fabrics to put up even with the most unpleasant weather conditions, including heavy rain or snow. Backpacks made from reinforced cotton or other natural fabrics are only suitable for light, day trips; thus, if you want to spend the night in the wild, we suggest opting for stronger fabrics.

Boat & Watercraft Insurance
Let us help you make your time on the water relaxed and worry-free. We will find you comprehensive protection that protects you, your friends and family, your watercraft and your boating equipment.
Here are some items you'll need to consider when shopping for Arizona boat insurance.
Navigational Area
Know where you are covered in the water. Some insurance companies offer protection that covers you up to 75 miles from the U.S. coastline.
Agreed Value Coverage
Watercrafts depreciate just like cars. Actual cash value policies can make it difficult to replace a boat that has been stolen or destroyed. This means that if your boat is a total loss you will get the value you insured it for, less the deductible.
Bodily Injury Coverage
Like auto insurance, personal liability coverage provides coverage to other boaters and boat owners in the event you are at-fault for an accident on the water. This coverage will pay to repair or replace the property of someone else as well as for their medical care, lost wages, and other costs incurred as a result of a boating accident for which you are at-fault.
Medical Payments Coverage
Medical payments coverage will pay for the cost of needed care that is the result of a boating accident. This coverage is available for you and your passengers, and even your water skiers/tubers, regardless of who is at-fault.
Physical Damage Coverage
Physical damage coverage pays for the cost to repair or replace your watercraft, its motor, any permanently attached equipment. You and also insure your trailer if it is stolen or damaged.
Uninsured/Underinsured Watercraft Bodily Injury Coverage
If you are hit by an uninsured or underinsured boater and you are injured, this type of coverage pays for medical treatment, lost wages, and other costs associated with the accident.
Personal Effects
Your policy can provide coverage for many personal items, including clothing, cells phones.
Unattached Equipment Coverage
This pays to repair or replace equipment that isn't permanently attached to your boat or personal watercraft, but is designed for use primarily on a boat.
Emergency Assistance
The Emergency Assistance Package provides coverage for towing, labor and delivery of gas, oil or loaned battery if the watercraft is disabled while on the water.
There are many ways to save on boat insurance some of them are original owner, homeowner, multi policy, transfer discounts, claims free, multi policy and responsible driver discounts. If you've take an approved safety course let us know you would qualify for an additional discount.
No Fields Found.

text: I have also the development of my temple to consider as I have decided to have a small temple and not seek to grow bigger and expand to more sites. I hope to inspire resident Sangha here and elsewhere to do the same. You must protect yourself first while you are on the Path. Solid foundations can decay if you keep ignoring them they fall in disrepair. The problems in Sanghas in the West are confounded with desires for larger, expensive, and prettier. Ambition is a symptom of greed and dissatisfaction; it should not be a part of a Sangha's strategy to propagate Buddha dharma. I don't want my Sangha to be bothered with such distractions.

I lost my purse while shopping in Hayes Town on Wednesday, October 16.
The purse only contained my travel card, identity card and a few pounds, but the loss was still upsetting.
However, the next day I received a call to my office - the Halifax, Hayes branch - to advise the purse had been handed in.
Much to my surprise,I collected my purse complete with all contents including the money.
I would like to express my appreciation and thanks to the person who found and handed in my purse.
You have restored my faith in human nature and the people of Hayes in general.
I hope your good deed and consideration will be returned to you ten fold. You deserve it. Thank you so much.
My thanks also to the Halifax for bothering to contact me.

The 2017 Subaru Crosstrek Hybrid is a model from Japanese car maker which is currently available in the entire world. The car was first introduced in the Japanese market and gradually expanded into the whole world.
However, within the US market, the Crosstrek is considered as a relative newcomer since it made its debut here in 2013. This is one of the reasons why the car has not offered its full potential, yet.
The ardent fans of Subaru, however, understand the great potential this vehicle has to offer.
In the first year, Subaru Crosstrek managed to sell sixty thousand units in America. The next year was even better. This paved the way for a Subaru Crosstrek hybrid which offered the same vehicle with a green tint.
2017 Subaru Crosstrek Hybrid – Immaculate Design:
Subaru Crosstrek has managed to surround itself with a genuine fan base. That is why there is a great hype for the 2017 Subaru Crosstrek Hybrid – an update of the model – which will allow the car to compete with its peers. The competitor in the car market is cutthroat, and 2017 Subaru Crosstrek is ready to jump in.
The 2017 Subaru Crosstrek will most probably follow the same familiar exterior style. In fact, the style of the model is so much inspired by Subaru Impreza that there may not seem a difference between the two at first sight.
In fact, it will be much better to say that both the Crosstrek and Impreza have been inspired by each other. A significant difference between the two is dark body cladding at the bottom of the jumpers, in the Crosstrek. The tire package of the Crosstrek is also rather unique and allows the vehicle to carry out its off-road maneuvers.
The model has a 17-inch alloy rim in polished black color wrapped in Yokohama G 95 tires featuring a kind of aggressive design. This not only renders the car fresh, but it also becomes very helpful when the car is traversing different kinds of terrains.
The 2017 Subaru Crosstrek is 8.7 inches above the ground level. For some models, this may look like a nominal difference. However, this still seems unusual for the Crosstrek.
The approach angle in eighteen degrees while the departure angle is just a little more than twenty-seven degrees.
At the end of the day, the 2017 Subaru Crosstrek offers a very impressive outlook and can be easily considered as one of the best looking new models on offer.
Where interior of the car is considered, there are also hints of being inspired by the Impreza. It is familiar to see the gauge cluster, the button configuration on the dashboard as well as the trim level.
The intuitive layout of the interior is just about perfect. It may not drag the attention of the driver from the road by offering everything he needs within easy reach.
2017 Subaru Crosstrek Hybrid – Drivetrain:
The controls are very simple. The grip on the steering wheel is strong enough. The interior space is enough for most situations. The material used is high-quality and adds to the overall value of the unit.
The 2017 Subaru Crosstrek is powered by a 2.0-liter four cylinder Boxer that produces 148 hp.
2017 Subaru Crosstrek Hybrid – Release Date:
The model is expected to be released by mid – 2017.
There is news that 2017 Subaru Crosstrek Hybrid have a price of $28,000.

"THE KENNEDY BROTHERS: The Rise and Fall of Jack and Bobby" offers the reader various views and perspectives on the evolution of the relationship between John F. Kennedy and his younger brother Robert between 1951 and 1963. At the same time, it also provides, in a large sense, a living history of the Kennedy Administration; the challenges, setbacks and triumphs it experienced; and the roles Robert Kennedy played in that history as Attorney General (e.g. his relentless fight against organized crime and his moral support for the cause of civil rights) and enforcer and protector of his brother, the President.
Then we also experience the inner struggles and agonies Robert Kennedy endured after his brother was assassinated in Dallas in November 1963. After years of supporting JFK through his various political campaigns and in the White House, he was faced with having to find his own voice and place. In the process, Robert Kennedy's humaneness and compassion for the poor and disenfranchised - coupled with his fearlessness and the spirit of his character - came to define him in the eyes of millions of Americans as he went on to win election to the U.S. Senate from New York in 1964 and embarked on the path that led him to his last crusade, his run for the Presidency in 1968.
In the words of the author: "... the Kennedys, with all their romance and irony, finally unite in an aesthetic comparable to the Greeks that they read about and quoted: they were daring and they were doomed, and they knew it and accepted it. They would die and make their deaths into creative acts of history. They would be heroes. And they would give their country an imperishable poignancy in its heart."

Release 4 now up on Dlayer.com
I added an authentication system.
When you are on the third version of a project which you have been developing for six years it doesn't really make much sense to 'waste' time integrating an authentication system, especially when you don't see a release in the mid term future.
After making the first release I realised my error and added an authentication system and modified the base data to tie sites to users.
Previously every visitor to Dlayer would act as a single user, effectively cancelling out each others requests, the system would not have been able to validate the changing environment data.

One of the biggest surprises of the year, "Legion" stars Dan Stevens (yep, the beast from "Beauty and the Beast") as David, a man who lived his entire life believing he had schizophrenia, until he's confronted with the idea that maybe he's actually just an incredibly powerful mutant. The series is set within the X-Men universe, and is a wild ride stylistically and narratively, plus Aubrey Plaza stars in possibly her best role yet -- but to say more would be giving away too much.
See it on Foxtel Play.

Hi everyone
This year is turning out to be a very busy but manageable time of my life so far. I love to wright about my passion - the Martial Arts. I'm very short for time at the moment. Despite this however, I found an essay that I wrote in semester 2 last year (2014 - Year 11) in my English Language class (A class were the focus of study is what makes English the language that it is). I originally hand wrote this essay; as I must do with all of my essays for school, in about 70 minutes under standard testing conditions. However, I fell short of the 700 word limit. As a result, I had to re-wright it. Fortunately my teacher at the time let me re-wright it in Pages, making it much easer for me to obtain the 700 word limit.
So I had this essay just sitting in a Pages document for months, and eventually decided to share it with everyone on the blog. I know that it's a bit of a different topic to post on this blog, but I can see similarities in the attitudes towards changes in English and the attitudes in the Martial Arts community; such as traditional prescritavists, prescribing to you haw the Martial Arts should be in accordance to a crystallised system. And descriptivists, describing to you what the Martial Arts is like in reality. A presciptivist prescribes what I like to call perceived reality. A descriptivist describes what he/she sees is the reality without bias. People who express the Tao are, in my current opinion, descriptivists. Any topic will have presciptavists and descriptivists, including language and the Martial Arts. Basically it's good to get your head around this idea: prescriptivists prescribe rules and regulations of a subject, whilst descriptivists describe their unbiased philosia of the true essence of the subject. I hope you can take some knowledge away from this essay. Enjoy...
Start of Essay
Topic of discussion: "Our language is constantly changing and evolving, and we should embrace this fact, not resist it. Discuss."
Language is a fascinating phenomenon that reflects the changes in the social attitudes of society. It's very interesting to see the changes in the English Lexicon take place and to witness linguistic and lexicological evolution. Some believe that the change should be embraced, whilst others are more inclined to argue that language should be preserved in it's current state. And thus the debate about these conflicting views has arisen.
Those who support the view of officialising language and preserving it are known as prescriptivists. A prescriptivist would most likely disapprove of the current changes in English taking place. For example, young speakers of English commonly recognise words such as Pokemon to be an official lexeme, despite it having no occupation in the dictionary. Pokemon Is a blended neologism (consisting of Pocket and Monsters) that refers to popular electronic games greatly enjoyed by young people. The majority of today's young people would most likely be able to define the term 'Pokemon'. However, as it is not in the dictionary, the absence of codification means to a prescriptivist that it most surely Is a threat to a "pure English".
A prescriptivist believes that the English language , in order to evolve effectively as a strong and healthy lexicon, should be practiced by it's by it's everyday users by the book. They may see it as a beautiful crystallisation that must be protected from external and internal linguistic and lexicological viruses, in order for future generations to enjoy English.
Those who occupy the opposite end of this spectrum of language ideology are commonly known as descriptivists. While a prescriptivist tells people how language should be, a descriptivist would most likely tell someone how language is currently being spoken and how it is currently being produced by it's day to day users. There are dynamic changes occurring in English via the influential presents of, and interaction with technology. New acronyms such as LOL (laugh out loud) are widely used on social media. New verb shifts such as using the work "read" out of its traditionally codified context have occurred. In this particular example, "read" is changed from a verb to a noun, as in "that was a good read". Phenomenons such as these have been turning English into a linguistic melting pot. A descriptivist would most likely support this, because it effectively is serving it's purpose of communicating messages effectively for those who are to inherit the English language. A prescriptivist would criticise the use of a colon and an inverted bracket to produce :), as it would be having a disastrous impact on young people's use of English's grammatical tools. After all, a hammer is used for fixing nails into position, not to cut wood. A bracket is used to contain additional information in a text such as listing examples that relate to the topic.
A descriptivist will claim that using :), :(, or ;-) for example, adds fascinating, creative and exiting new dimensions into the realms of non-verbal communication. "Technology is not having a disastrous impact on teenagers spelling and grammar, according to recent studies in Australia and the UK. Linguists have found that the vast majority of text messages utilise Standard English, not unintelligible 'textspeek'. In fact, new technologies may even be having a positive influence on the English Language.' -Oz News Magazine on the 12th of October 2010. Having technologies readily available to young people gives students more reasons to wright, and more opportunities. Having an automatic spell-check system set up on software such as 'Pages', can greatly enhance ones spelling ability. Constantly having one's spelling errors automatically highlight and correct themselves is essentially giving the student a complete lesson of his or her weaknesses, thus without knowing it, the student learns not to make the error in the first place through repeated correctional exposure. Sending messages to peers and teachers via email has become a necessity for a student of the 21st century. Less formal social situations can also give reasons to message people such as family and friends.
If something is confound to a cage then how can it be expected to evolve?. The speakers of English should have their lexicological and linguistic freedom in order for the this diverse language of ours to effectively evolve.

Dear Human Beings…
Posted by DJM on May 23, 2010
My name is Shabana and as my name suggests, I am an animal. I was born as a human being, but being a Muslima, I chose to live the life of an animal. Today, I proudly consider myself an animal, though I look like a human being. I am ashamed of my physical appearance, so I cover myself with a tent like garment called Burkhah. Only my eyes are seen outside. I told you about my dress only to make you understand how much we Muslims hate human beings. We are even ashamed of our appearance, i.e. of human beings. All kafirs are dirty human beings. All Muslims are proud animals. Like you human beings have your own religions called Christianity, Judaism, Hinduism, Buddhism etc, we animals also have our own religion called Islam. Animals who follow Islam are called Muslims. All animals are not Muslims, but all Muslims are animals. We have our own animal god called Mr. Allah, the most merciful (Allah is his surname). There are 1.4 billion Muslims all over the world. So we are not a rare species like polar bears. The scientific name for Muslims is Islamo Homo sapiens.
The story of islamo homo sapiens is quite interesting. 1400 years ago, we were also human beings (homo sapiens). As you people definitely know, homo sapiens belong to the animal kingdom. But homo sapiens are different from other animals in a number of ways. Human beings have a highly developed and complex brain, which makes human beings different from animals. This complex brain is also a curse for human beings. Desires for love and need for companionship etc are the elements of a complex organ and it makes the life of a human being quite difficult. To be born as a human being is a big curse. But the human beings were left with no other option till 'Islam' came into existence. Human beings worship God by different names. God sent prophets by different names to make human beings understand how to lead a good life. Jesus Christ, Sree Buddha, Mahavir, Guru Nanak were all such prophets (I have no intention of teaching human beings about human beings, but to understand 'islamo homo sapiens' a thorough knowledge about 'homo sapiens' is quite necessary). 1400 years ago, God sent only animal prophet called Muhammad Nabi to earth. He is also considered as the last prophet. Muhammad taught human beings how to convert to animals. Biologists call this technique "reverse evolution". The human beings who converted to animals are called Muslims. We the Muslims may have animals' instinct but it doesn't mean that we have got something against birds. We love birds. That is the reason why Muslim women dress like crows and Muslim men dress like pigeons.
The life of an animal is thousand times better than the life of a human being. Muhammad Nabi (prophet) wanted to convert maximum number of human beings to animals. Sometimes we have to impose good things on others if others are reluctant in choosing good things on their own. The human beings who converted were asked to wage war on other human beings and impose Islam on them. Islam is a way of life, that is, way of life of an animal. Muhammad Nabi also wrote a book on how a human being can live like an animal. The book is called "Koran" and we Muslims have a great respect for this book. Muhammad Nabi was a perfect example of how a human being can turn into an animal. He has set an example before us and all of us are eager to follow his footsteps. Sharia is a law made by him and his animal friends. We, Muslims consider sharia as Mr. Allah's own law. Our animal god, Allah is the most merciful so he gives the toughest punishment. Sharia is a perfect example for that.
There is one more reason why sharia is a tough law. As we Muslims are animals, we don't have self-control like human beings. If a girl is walking naked on the streets, a kafir may look at her curiously but may not jump on her. But our Muslim men will no be able to control themselves and it is a sure bet that the girl will be raped. Even by seeing the hands, legs or face of a woman, a Muslim man gets sexually aroused. Self-control is a word, which is not there in our Islamic dictionary. Even our prophet never tried to hide his animal like sexual urges. He not only enjoyed many women, he also tried a 9-yr old girl. We are proud of his animal instincts. If our men prefer to have sex with many wives, it is because our prophet taught us to do so. We are thankful to our animal god Mr. Allah, the most merciful for giving us the mindset of an animal. We do all sorts of funny things (you silly human beings will find it funny, but we are quite serious) to have some control on our self but it is all in vain. We animals not only seduce other animals, we seduce human beings as well. Yes, we have been able to convert a lot of human beings to animals using our seduction technique.
We Muslims enjoy living like animals. We want others also to join us in living like animals. To understand the fun in living like an animal, you have to become an animal yourself. For this reason, we always try to propagate Islamic agenda. I request all human beings to convert to animals to understand how great our life is. Some of the human beings are also helping us in propagating Islamic agenda. Rashtriya Swayemsevak Sangh (R.S.S), which is a hard-line Hindu organization in India, has been lending support to us a number of ways for the last few decades. According to R.S.S., a Hindu woman should not wear Jeans and T-shirts. Hinduism sets no guidelines on the dressing of a Hindu woman, but we Muslims have succeeded in influencing hard-line Hindu organizations to propagate Islamism in the name of Hinduism. Bharathiya Janatha Party (B.J.P), which is the political offspring of R.S.S, and the former ruling party of India has gone a long way in spreading Islamism in the name of Hinduism. Hinduism as a religion respects individual freedom, but R.S.S and B.J.P has taken away individual freedom from the Hindus in our very own Islamic fashion under the pretext of Hinduism. This means we are able to make even our enemies propagate Islamic agenda. Maybe that our animal god Mr. Allah, the most merciful has succeeded in influencing the likings of humane Hindu gods. If this has happened in India, this can happen in other parts of the world too. We Muslims influence others and make them spread Islamic agenda even without their knowledge. I challenge human beings to find out our methods of propagating Islamic agenda. You people consider yourself to be more intelligent than we animals. Find out if you can.
Wherever we go, we create our own Muslim only zones so that we can lead a peaceful animal life. Human beings always lead a disgusting life. We try to keep away from kafirs (kafir is another word for a human being) as much as possible.
In Saudi Arabia, an animal country, even human beings are forced to live like animals. Yes, we impose our beastly life on human beings in countries like Saudi Arabia and Iran. Our animal god has given us Islamic oil so that we can sell this oil to human beings and use that money for spreading animalism (Islam). Mr. Allah, the most merciful might have taken away our common sense, but he has blessed us with Islamic oil. It is called "brain for oil" program, not "oil for food" program as said by your United Nations Organization.
The famous T.V. channel Animal Planet is planning to produce a program based on our life. If you people want to know more about our animal life, you can watch that program. I just want FFI to stop criticizing our great animal religion "Islam". If you continue to criticize Islam, some Muslims may get influenced by it and will convert back to human beings leaving Islam. Of course that is hard to happen. If someone changes his mind and decides to become a human, it is just because that he has deviated from the path shown by Mr. Allah, the most merciful according to our faith. People ruin their own lives when leave Islam. So I don't think a lot of people will leave Islam, thanks to these kind of beliefs. Still, there is a chance that some people may leave Islam and start living like human beings after visiting websites that criticizes Islam. I don't want that to happen. My husband is a mullah. He earns bread by exploiting the faith that other Muslims have in Mr. Allah the most merciful. If you people continue to criticize Islam, I will be deprived of my bread. So I once again request human beings to stop criticizing our animal like life and our animal prophet.
Love (?)
