At the time of this writing, the X-Men movie franchise includes seven films, spans fourteen years, and includes over a hundred characters from the vast and ever-growing Marvel database. Of those characters appearing onscreen, 64 of them are mutants; some were pulled directly from the pages of the popular comics, some were merely inspired by their comic counterparts, while others were created specifically for the X-Men movie (or TV) universe.
We've gone through all seven X-Men films and compiled an exhaustive list of every mutant who has made an appearance in the last fourteen years - whether it be a main role, secondary role or as a background character. They're all here, listed in alphabetical order. Remember, the descriptions listed are for the character's role in the MOVIE UNIVERSE and not the COMIC UNIVERSE, so there will be some variations in the canon with which you might already be familiar.
Take a look and see if there are any you missed while watching - and in case it isn't already assumed, this post will contain MASSIVE SPOILERS...

IWMW 2015: Agile content
Considering that the digital communications team is committed to working in an agile manner, and I'm the lead digital content person for the University, a workshop titled "Working in an agile way: content creation, delivery and standards" was always going to appeal to me. It was actually the main reason that I jumped at the chance of going to this year's IWMW, even though I knew I'd have to attend on my own. I definitely wanted to see and hear how the University of Bath's digital team – whose blog has long been an oft checked resource for me – were using agile in their content processes.
The workshop from the team at Bath was really impressive – and an eye opener for me in a way I did not expect. You can find a video of a related presentation that Rich Prowse and the team gave below.
An agile approach to content from Richard Prowse on Vimeo.
The workshop covered three main areas: developing a vision for content, discovery and user stories, and collaborative working.
Developing a vision
Perhaps the part of the session that I enjoyed most, the team from Bath outlined how necessary it is to have a vision which is shared by content editors and stakeholders alike. This is one of the hardest things for a large decentralised organisation, so the focus on this from the presenters was very much appreciated by everyone there. As a digital professional who works on a website which has over 300,000 web assets just on the main content management system, it's hard to keep one eye on the bigger picture – it's all too easy to get overwhelmed by the task facing us and just find myself firefighting on a daily basis.
So how do we develop a vision which we keep focused on regardless of what we're faced with? Bath showed us their roadmap, which starts with the digital principles that they keep coming back to in all of their projects.
These principles aren't just for content creation – they also hold for design, for information architecture, for how we make decisions. Here at St Andrews we have a similar list from before we started working in an agile manner, but these probably need to be updated in light of the agile system we now work in.
The point of principles like these is that they sit a level higher than the day-to-day decisions we make; they inform us, and in term, they give the people we work with a understanding not just how we work but why we do so. We want to reach a point where the work that we do is ingrained in other people's jobs and mindsets – and that comes from educating them over time; repeatedly pointing to our principles, using the same process every time we work on a project.
So the first piece of homework for this session was to come back to St Andrews and establish what our visions is, and how that relates to our principles.
The team at Bath then gave some examples of how we could all build agile principles into our content creation processes. Rather than just explaining to us how to do this, in pairs, we were each asked to think of a problem in our institution, what a potential solution to it would be, and then express the benefits. This came especially naturally to me – this exercise is very similar to the one we do with colleagues who have an idea for a digital project. Rather than allowing people to come to us with an idea for a solution, we instead request that they come to us with a business problem. Once the problem has been communicated, we can then work with them to outline a range of different solutions to the problem, jotting down the costs and benefits of each option as we do so. Not only does this mean that the digital communications team understand the business problem, it gives us an opportunity to explain the constraints of the technology and systems we are using, and to truly judge whether the solution we had in mind at the beginning of the session is the most effective one.
A good example of how we've put this into practise at St Andrews is on the webpages we created for the new sexual misconduct policy. While the original plan was simply to put PDF files of the policies online, a meeting with the relevant stakeholders allowed us to understand that students may need to access these pages at any time, using a range of devices. Understanding how important it is that this content is accessible allowed us to take the content from the PDFs and re-purpose it into webpages which are responsive. This also allowed us to educate the department we were working with about what web accessibility is, and why it's important. The new pages now meet a wider range of users' needs.
This example feeds into the next section of the seminar from the team from Bath. They pointed out how important the discovery phase was; not only to create a good product, but also to educate, to change the conversation. Getting stakeholders involved makes them feel responsible for the things which are created, and they're more likely to defend the final product too. So how should we do this? Rather than preaching to them, we should get colleagues involved right from the beginning.
How? By asking them to write users stories, by getting them involved in verifying user personas or journeys, by asking them what tasks people are trying to do offline and seeing how that relates to our online efforts. During the seminar at IWMW, we each were asked to write down on post-its some user stories which might relate to the students using a university website. By then collating our post-its, we could see which ideas came up again and again, as well as sorting our user stories into things which were related to one another – a card sorting exercise. All of these things are techniques which we use on a regular basis, but it was a buoying experience to see another team (who I have a lot of respect for!) practising the same things which have become so vital for us here at St Andrews.
Collaborative working
Finally, the team walked us through the benefits of collaborative working and some tools which can help with this. From the time when the digital communications team were split across two offices, I think that I was especially vocal about how important it is to be able to collaborate with not only the direct team, but also with the colleagues from other departments and units. Like Bath, we are big advocates of Trello – a tool which allows us to list tasks, allocate them to people and move them across task boards – as well as daily stand-up meetings, where we go through our Trello board and talk about the things we were working on yesterday, our plans for the day and any blockers we foresee.
Also like Bath, we use this blog as one aspect of the community building that we think is so important. As well as posting here, we invite members of staff to our monthly Digital Advisory Board (DAB) where we discuss the work we are doing and present on pressing issues such as social media or new web requirements. We also send out a monthly email newsletter to DAB members – pointing out useful articles, updating people on our projects and offering training opportunities. All of these things are vital for us to build strong relationships across the institution – and this, in turn, makes our projects run more efficiently and more enjoyably.
This seminar with the team from the University of Bath was so inspiring to me; partly because it gave examples of ways to work and tools to use – but also because it showed me that the things which we are doing at St Andrews are similar to the processes at other institutions that we think are doing great work. As the guys from Bath have said – being an agile team is hard. It requires us to be really purposeful in our projects – asking hard questions, sometimes saying 'wait' or (God forbid!) 'no'. Just knowing that more and more people are starting to see the benefits of using agile to manage our content needs makes it a lot easier to keep at it – so thanks guys!

What's New in Version 5.0.6b1: ・Fixed support for Carbon apps when running Sierra. ・Default Folder X would mistakenly use the first tab in a Finder window as the active tab. It now correctly recognizes the active tab. ・Fixed the About box so the Default Folder X icon is the correct size when running under Sierra. ・The Finder-window menu would sometimes fail to show some windows. This has been fixed.

Complementary and alternative medicine (CAM for short) for MS can be as simple and safe as massage and acupuncture to help with muscle stiffness, or as complex and controversial as bee sting therapy or CCSVI treatment. Though they may seem beyond the pale to many, the National Multiple Sclerosis Society reports that, "In the United States today, the vast majority of people incorporate one form or another of CAM as part of their MS management, most often in combination with their prescribed MS treatments."
Even though some complementary and alternative treatments (like vitamin D or perhaps chiropractic care) may have some evidence behind them, many people living with MS have great difficulty accessing and/or paying for these treatments. Many medical insurance plans or services do not recognize or fund them.
It's not unlike an anecdote I just read in a book called, The Story of the Fly and How It Could Save the World. The authors of the book quote a Dr. Ronald Sherman as saying, "It's strange, but some insurance companies will pay tens of thousands of dollars for an amputation… but will hesitate or object to paying $100 for a course of maggot therapy," a treatment that salvages nearly half of the limbs requiring this drastic treatment in scientific studies.
Okay, I understand that maggot debridement therapy (MDT) sounds a bit of a stretch to connect with MS complementary and alternative medical treatments. The common thread of payers not willing to pay, however, ties them together.
Dr. Allen C. Bowling's books on MS CAM should be required reading for the insurance wonks who are making payment decisions when it comes to our health.
On June 19, the National MS Society's Access to High Quality MS Health Care Task Force held its second meeting in Chicago. The Task Force consists of people who live with MS, healthcare and service providers, health policy and system experts, and Society staff. I am honored to be a part of this panel of experts looking for answers.
The Society conducted a comprehensive "environmental assessment" from November 2013 to January 2014 that allowed the Task Force to learn about what people with MS are interested in and concerned about related to access to care. After reviewing nearly 29,000 public social media mentions, more than 547,000 search engine results, 250 complete survey responses, and more than 7,200 interactions with individuals contacting the Society's Information Resource Center, the Task Force identified the following focus areas for its work:
- Affordability in the changing healthcare landscape
- Comprehensive coverage
- Access to wellness coverage, including alternative medicine coverage for MS
The Task Force will develop principles in these focus areas over the next few months and involve people with MS and other important stakeholders in the principles' finalization to ensure that the needs and concerns of people with MS are incorporated.
I am on the Wellness and CAM working group. I'd love to hear your thoughts and experiences when it comes to use, access, and payment for complementary and alternative medicine in coping with your MS. People trying to do something about it are listening.
Wishing you and your family the best of health.
Don't forget to follow me on the Life With MS Facebook page and on Twitter, and subscribe to Life With Multiple Sclerosis.

You Never Know
It's odd, I'd have thought that Brown would have several active and public Pagan groups.
And, I know that they're young, but it would be nice if these students didn't feel the need to say that witches don't eat babies and that Wiccans are their own worst enemies. Our own worst enemies would be the patriarchy. Just sayin.
Of course, other people have no excuse. Kali on a Klondike Bar, would you just stop it? Because it just gives credence to shit like this.
5 comments:
Brown is not the school that it used to be. Over the last decade it has become ever more focussed on controlling patents, winning grant money, finding outside funds, and cultivating political and economic influence. The profile of each successive entering class has also been changing, becoming more and more heavily weighted toward the children of the global elite. And, of course, the times are also changing ...
Ten or fifteen years ago I could have named as many as sixty or seventy undergraduates who were interested in magical and earth religions at Brown, and there were many more just down the hill at the Rhode Island School of Design, which used to have a large and flourishing Pagan group. Now I know the names of only four such undergraduates at Brown, and there are probably only a few more whom I haven't heard of yet.
I retired from Brown two years ago. For fifteen years before my retirement I offered courses on the history of magic, on the development of women-led magical religions and religious movements in the USA from ca. 1800 sown to the 1960s, and on magic and esotericism in Russia. When I started offering these courses, the enrollments were very high, but they fell very sharply off in the early 2000s, as Brown became noticeably more corporate.
These courses of mine were non-departmental courses, offered under a program that let faculty teach outside the departmental structures of the university. The year after I retired, all remaining non-departmental courses were abolished by administrative fiat. So if some other professor ever wanted to offer similar courses, he could do so only as a part of the curriculum of a department, in this case either Religious Studies or History. (I was in neither of those departments.) And in recent years the Department of Religious Studies has been narrowing its focus ever more onto Christianity and Islam alone. (There is a separate Department of Judiac Studies.)
This may be of interest as background to the article in Brown's student newspaper.
- Hecate said...
That's fascinating; I had no idea. When Son went to Princeton, Brown's reputation was still that of a v. open, experimental kind of place.
- Chris Tucker said...
"Thomas worries that some people here think the witches are harmless or humorous and that the Witch School could deter people from buying homes or opening businesses.
"Our ultimate goal would be to convert them to Christianity," he says. "If that doesn't happen, I don't know what will be next."
How about mind your own damned business?
When your son thought of going to Brown, depending on the year, it might indeed have been a very open, experimental kind of place. I was there for 38 years, from 1967 through 2005. The first few years it was small and stuffy. Then came its famous New Curriculum, which began as a political compromise between student and faculty factions, but soon acquired coherence in practice. That lasted for about 30 years, and is officially still in place, though weakened. Brown really only became noticeably corporate around 2000.
As a member of First Unitarian Church, just down the hill from Brown, I's like to extend a welcome to all the campus pagans and anyone else who is looking for a supportive spiritual community that is inclusive and ethical. Also, there's free coffee after the service. 10:30am on Sundays, be there or be square.

Research Interests
Our laboratory has a long-standing interest in the relationship between macromolecular structure and function, in particular the role of cat ions and anions in modulating protein conformation and enzyme activity. Currently most of our effort is focused in two areas: (1) the factors modulating the ryanodine receptor and (2) the interaction between capsular polysaccharide and two proteins, immunoglobin and complement factor C3.
The ryanodine receptor is an intracellular calcium channel best characterized in muscle cells where it forms a critical element of the excitation-contraction coupling process. Recent studies suggest that the ryanodine receptor may also be responsible for modulating calcium ion levels in other cell types.
Virulence of many pathogens is associated with the production of a polysaccharide capsule surrounding the organism. We are investigating the nature of the protein-polysaccharide interaction to understand the disease process itself as well as to gain new insights into carbohydrate-mediated events in intra- and intercellular communication.
We use a variety of physical techniques in our research including analytical ultra centrifugation, computational biochemistry, molecular visualization, spectrofluorimetry and other forms of optical spectroscopy, kinetic and thermodynamic analysis.

Since the Department of Health and Human Service has again delayed ICD-10 coding implementation, now is a good time to brush up on diagnosis coding skills and improve ICD-9 coding accuracy in your clinic or private medical practice. Accurate coding demonstrates medical necessity and justifies treatment choices by linking them to an appropriate diagnosis, symptom or complaint.
Topics: compliance, occupational health, healthcare, ICD-10, employee health, hospital
The greatly anticipated transition from ICD-9 to ICD-10 coding was postponed again on Feb. 15 by Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius. HHS said the action was taken in response to concerns from the medical community about administrative burdens associated with implementing the new coding system.
Topics: occupational health, healthcare, ICD-10, employee health, hospital
The American Medical Association's recent pledge to "work vigorously to stop implementation of ICD-10" may be a case of standing in front of a moving freight train in an attempt to stop it. Why, one might ask, are physicians vehemently opposing the change from ICD-9 to ICD-10 at his late juncture?
Topics: occupational health, healthcare, ICD-10, employee health, hospital
On October 1, 2013 the United States will switch from using ICD-9 codes to ICD-10 codes. This change expands the ICD-10-CM (diagnosis) code set from 14,000 unique codes to over 69,000 codes.
Topics: occupational health, healthcare, ICD-10

Printing and Framing Turkey Prints (Artwork) for Your Home or Office
This page is designed to give you ideas on types of prints that might work and some general information around your chosen animal prints theme. Order prints and have them carefully rolled and safely secured in a cardboard cylinder and delivered to your door.
Mammal Animals:
Turkey Prints
Young turkey name: poult
Female turkey: hen
Male turkey: tom, gobbler, stag, jake (immature)
A group of turkeys is called: cream, rafter
Turkey class: Mammal
A turkey is either of two living species of large birds in the genus Meleagris. One species, Meleagris gallopavo, commonly known as the Wild Turkey, is native to the forests of North America. The other species, Meleagris ocellata, known as the Ocellated Turkey, is native to the forests of the Yucatn Peninsula in Mexico.
The Domestic turkey is a descendant of the Wild Turkey.
Turkeys are classed in the taxonomic order of Galliformes. Within this order they are relatives of the family/subfamily Tetraonidae (grouse). Turkeys have a distinctive fleshy wattle that hangs from the underside of the beak, and a fleshy protuberance that hangs from the top of its beak called a snood. With wingspans of 1.51.8 meters (almost 6 feet), the turkeys are by far the largest birds in the open forests in which they live. As with many Galliform species the female (hen) is smaller than the male (tom or gobbler) and is much less colorful.
When Europeans first encountered turkeys in the Americas they incorrectly identified the birds as a type of guineafowl (Numididae), also known as a turkey-cock from its importation to Central Europe through Turkey, and the name of that country stuck as the name of the bird. The confusion is also reflected in the scientific name: meleagris is Greek for guinea-fowl.
The names for M. gallopavo in other languages also frequently reflect its exotic origins, seen from an Old World viewpoint, and add to the confusion about where turkeys actually came from. The many references to India seen in common names go back to a combination of two factors: first, the genuine belief that the newly-discovered Americas were in fact a part of Asia, and second, the tendency during that time to attribute exotic animals and foods to a place that symbolized far-off, exotic lands. The latter is reflected in terms like Muscovy Duck (which is from South America, not Muscovy). This was a major reason why the name turkey-cock stuck to Meleagris rather than to the guinea fowl (Numida meleagris): the Ottoman Empire represented the exotic East.
The name given to a group of turkeys is a rafter, although they are sometimes incorrectly referred to as a gobble or flock.
Several other birds which are sometimes called urkeys are not particularly closely related: the Australian brush-turkey is a megapode, and the bird sometimes known as the Australian turkey is in fact the Australian Bustard, a gruiform. The bird sometimes called a Water Turkey is actually an Anhinga (Anhinga rufa)
While large domesticated turkeys are generally unable to fly, the smaller wild turkeys can fly extremely well. This allows them to perch in the branches of trees. Turkey poults (chicks) are unable to fly for the first two weeks after they hatch.

It's enough to give the grand Dowager Countess an attack of the vapours.
Posh Downton Abbey's huge success and string of BAFTAs and Emmy awards can be traced to the back-street cobbles of Coronation Street and the rowdy public bar of Walford's Queen Vic.
More than 60% of the actors in Downton, which returned for a third ITV1 series last night, previously appeared in the country's most popular TV soap operas, including Coronation Street, EastEnders, Casualty, and Emmerdale.
And, just as in the hit drama, the roles of upstairs and downstairs staff are definitely not equal.
All but one of the actors who play Downton's servants and staff have soap credentials, but only one of the upper-crust Grantham clan started the same way.
From the posh Earl of Grantham to maid Anna Bates, we look at the Downton stars with some very humble soap roots...
Dr Clarkson
Played by: David Robb, 65. A regular in the first two series, David played Mr Reynolds in EastEnders in 2001 was in The Bill three times.
Miss O'Brien
Played by: Siobhan Finneran, 46. Sharp-eyed Corrie fans will recognise Siobhan (scheming lady's maid Sarah O'Brien) as factory worker Josie Phillips.
She had a run-in with Mike Baldwin and refused to work for him in a 1989 episode.
Siobhan clocked up more soap appearances Emmerdale, Casualty and the Street's spin-off Romanian Holiday.
Mr Carson
Played by: Jim Carter, 64. The veteran actor plays head butler Carson and was another graduate of The Bill school for young actors.
Also a director and narrator, he has appeared in Cranford, Red Riding, The Singing Detective and many others.
Mr Mason
Played by: Paul Copley, 67. William Mason's Downton dad was photographer Ivor Priestley in Coronation Street back in 2007.
Mrs Hughes
Played by: Phyllis Logan, 56. She rules the downstairs staff as housekeeper Mrs Hughes, but found fame in an upstairs role as Lady Jane Felsham in Lovejoy.
She also played consultant Muriel McKendrick in Holby City in 1999.
Thomas Barrow
Played by: Rob James-Collier, 35. Rob was lovable rogue Liam Connor in Coronation Street for two years, making his first appearance in Weatherfield in 2006 as one of the brothers buying a share of the underwear factory.
He is now nasty footman Thomas Barrow... but Downton fans are due to see a softer side to Thomas.
Anna Bates
Played by: Joanne Froggatt, 32. Life hasn't been simple for maid Anna Bates, but it's not the first time Joanne has had to play someone who is facing a few problems.
She had an 18-month spell in Coronation Street as troubled single mother Zoe Tattersall, who caused havoc and left to join an American cult in 1998.
Joanne has also appeared in The Bill and Casualty.
Played by: Sophie McShera, 27. Before her job in the kitchen, Sophie played Danielle Hollywell in two 2007 episodes of Emmerdale.
Lord Grantham
Played by: Hugh Bonneville, 48. He looks the perfect aristocrat but back in December 1995 he was lining up alongside Todd Carty, Dean Gaffney and Michelle Collins to take the role of a headmaster in EastEnders.
Movie roles followed two years later but he also made an appearance in Midsomer Murders, where Inspector Barnaby investigates the death of a bell-ringer, and most recently in TV Olympics comedy Twenty Twelve.
Ethel Parks
Played by: Amy Nuttall, 30. She clocked up 113 appearances in Emmerdale as Chloe Atkinson before leaving the soap in 2005 and making her name as Downton's disgraced maid.
Lady Rosamund
Played by: Samantha Bond, 50. She was James Bond's Miss Moneypenny... and barrister Mary McMahon in episodes of The Bill in 1998 and 2000.
Mr Bates
Played by: Brendan Coyle, 48. The actor who plays moody valet John Bates has a string of top drama credits but a brief appearance in a 1992 episode of The Bill was a breakthrough for him.
Mrs Patmore
Played by: Lesley Nicol, 58. The Downton cook was a vital ingredient of The Bill, Casualty and Heartbeat.

Director of Music Ministries: Rick Reed (936) 295-8159 x117, email@example.com
Ministry Mission Statement:
Music has always been an integral part of Catholic worship, celebration, and liturgy. The music ministry seeks to lead the congregation in praising God, raising a joyful sound of praise to our Lord Jesus Christ, and enhancing the experience of coming together in community and as one body in Christ. We seek to engage, not just to be observed. We seek full, active, conscious involvement of the whole congregation and in that way become an instrument to teach and to comfort. Music in the Catholic Church provides the opportunity for a deeper connection to Christ, the liturgy, and our church family through sound and silence prayerfully intertwined. Our Music Ministry seeks to encourage and enrich church members' participation in the Mass by ensuring that all Masses have music which is not only liturgically appropriate, but also engaging and meaningful.
We provide the opportunity for musicians and singers of all ages and ranges of
ability to participate in this ministry.
Roles and Responsibilities:
Usual Ministries for Sunday (weekend) Masses:
|(Anticipated) 5:30p
|Song leader
|English choir, cantor
|Spanish choir, cantor
|English choir, cantor (coordinated by CSC, only during school year)
NOTE: additional instruments are welcome and encouraged at all Masses - contact Rick Reed for information.
Usual Ministries for Holy Days:
The Evening Mass for a Holy Day of Obligation is normailly 7p. It is celebrated bilingually (English/Spanish), and the music ministry choirs join together to support the sung prayer. We are continuing to build a repertoire of music that can be sung in either or both languages.
Cantors share information with the congregation, including song numbers, particular verses, and also proclaim the psalm from the ambo. Cantors normally perform their ministry from the front of the church, usually by the choir. Contact Rick Reed for further information and to offer your skills!
Special Choirs:
Special choirs are formed for various liturgies, especially the Triduum. Membership in these choirs is open to all parishioners, even if not currently involved in the music ministry. These are short term commitments. Watch the bulletin and listen for announcements for more information.

There has been some discussion on Waiouru whether (or not) to turn right at Tame Valley Junction and complete the Walsall Canal. Whilst at Wolverhampton in 2013 a local CRT employee cautioned us to "Stay away… it needs dredging!" Two years have elapsed and we've been wondering if the situation has improved.
Just after lunch we noticed a boat in the junction heading up (north) the Walsall Canal so I decided to walk the towpath and see how the boat coped. By the time I'd donned my warm clothing and disposed of the rubbish at the CRT services the boat was well out of sight. I'll refer to the map extract below when describing my observations.
You can see the green mooring icon by Leabrook Road Bridge. In this next photo the first of the mooring bollards is on the right but also notice the nice looking moorings on off-side. I wonder if there is sufficient depth to moor?
Just beyond the next mooring is the remains of an old arm, Paul shows it on his Waterway Routes map as Gospel Oak Branch.
When I reached Monway Bridge I could see what looked to be a very attractive mooring area with bench seating and mooring bollards on both sides of the canal.
They are not shown on the Waterway Routes map and which made me wonder whether there was a security issue.
Moorcroft Junction is just beyond the bridge in the above photo.
This is where the former Bradley Branch linked the Walsall Canal with the Wednesbury Oak Loop and the existing CRT Bradley Workshops where they manufacture lock gates.
I caught up with the boat I'd seen at the Tame Valley Junction just beyond this point. The boat was well aground and no amount of reverse was getting it off the bottom.
Eventually the crew had to revert to the "boat pole" method in order to reverse off the bottom. The crew decided there was little point in attempting to continue on and decided instead to reverse back to Moorcroft Junction where they would winded (turn).
Trying to get off the bottom
I walked on the the next bridge (Holyhead Road Bridge) where I came upon a large amount of hard rubbish which had been dragged from the canal and dumped.
Including bike frames, scooters, a dog card and a large coil of steel wire rope!
I'm pleased we learned something from another boaters experience and the Walsall Canal has been crossed off our list.

I'm on a roll with soups lately.
It must be because it's starting to get cold.
And soup seems like a good way to stay warm.
Am usually not fond of dishes with tomatoes or tomato sauce. Though I like them in soups as long as fresh or whole tomatoes are used. In this case I used whole peeled tomatoes in a can.
Yeah… I could have used fresh tomatoes and peel them myself. But I was feeling lazy. And I didn't feel like blanching and peeling the tomatoes myself. So whole peeled canned tomatoes were my second best choice. A dependable stand in.
This version of the soup is thick and hearty. Though my husband prefers it to be lighter with less chicken next time. I agree. I'm not too crazy about thick soups either. And I know that has to do with how we ate soups when I was growing up. Thin and light. With clean, crisp taste. And that's only because we had to make do with what we had. Soup was a great way to feed a large family of 10.
So… if you like thick and hearty soup, just increase the chicken and corn tortillas. And if you like your soup heartier, top each serving with cheddar cheese and sour cream, in addition to the chunks of avocados.
Here's what you need:
You need 3 or 4 large split chicken breasts. Bone and skin on. About 4 – 5 pounds. Only use 3 split chicken breasts if you want a thinner soup.
Remove chicken from the package and rinse them under cold running water. Pat dry with paper towels. And place chicken in a heavy-duty baking sheet.
Pour a little bit of oil – canola or olive oil, on each chicken breast and rub the oil all over the chicken.
Generously season the chicken breasts with kosher salt and ground black pepper. I used about 4 teaspoons of kosher salt and 2 teaspoons of ground black pepper.
Don't worry.
This might seem a lot of salt to you. But all this salt is not going to penetrate the meat. Its just going to make the chicken breasts well seasoned on the outside.Season chicken breasts on both sides.
And roast them, skin sides up, in a preheated oven at 400°F for 50 minutes.
After 50 minutes in the oven, the chicken breasts are cooked and the skins are crispy!
As you can see… I have way too many chicken breasts here. I should only have roasted three. Four the most. And so I used the rest of the chicken for "chicken club salad sandwiches" . Another recipe I will post in the future.
But, like I said though… if you like a thicker, heartier soup, use four large split chicken breasts.
Oh by the way… the skins are really crunchy and tasty. And you can start munching on them if you are feeling hungry and need a quick snack.
Tear the chicken meat off the bones and shred them into chunks. Place chicken chunks in a bowl. Cover bowl with plastic wrap and set aside.
Discard the bones and skins.
Or give the skins to your puppy. She'll love you for it.
Other ingredients you need for the soup:
Vegetables: 3 large celery sticks, 4 – 5 medium carrots, 2 medium size onions, 4 – 5 jalapenos, cilantro and lots of garlic.
And remove the ribs and the seeds.
The hottest part of the jalapenos reside along the ribs. That means if you want your soup to have a "kickasss" attitude, keep the ribs and only scrape the seeds.
Garlic – smashed, peeled and chopped.
Olive oil. 3 tablespoons.
28 ounces whole peeled tomatoes.
4 cans chicken broth. About 6 cups. Plus 2 cups water.
Ground coriander seeds, ground cumin, and dried basil.
One teaspoon of each.
Five or six 6-inch white or yellow corn tortillas.
I was kicking myself when I got home from the store, when I realized that I had bought flour tortillas instead of corn.
I was having a senior moment at 43!
But I used them anyway. Wishing, while kicking myself, that I had corn tortillas.
Slice tortillas into one inch strips.
And them chop into one inch squares.
Oh. Don't forget the avocados. You will need 3 large, ripe avocados.
One-half (1/2) avocado per serving.
And cheddar cheese and sour cream. Only if you want a richer, heartier soup!
And your favorite corn tortilla chips to serve on the side.
How to prepare the soup:
Heat a large pot (I am using a 5 quart pot) and add 3 tablespoons olive oil.
Saute chopped onions until translucent.
Add garlic and saute few more minutes.
Add chopped celery, carrots, and jalapenos.
Stir and saute for five minutes.
Add the whole peeled tomatoes. Break 'em into chunks using a spatula.
Stir and add the chicken broth. Plus 2 cups water.
Add the ground coriander and cumin and dried basil.
Cover pot and bring soup to a boil over medium heat.
Add the chopped corn tortillas into the pot.
Reduce heat to low and simmer soup until vegetables are tender. About 20 minutes.
Add the shredded chicken to the soup.
Season with coarse sea salt and freshly ground black pepper.
Simmer soup for another 15 minutes.
With your favorite corn tortilla chips…
Top each bowl with avocado chunks.
And to add more excitement and personality to soup –
And to make it richer and heartier –
Top each bowl with shredded cheddar cheese or Pepper Jack Cheese and sour cream along with the avocados.
I have to be honest…
I was reluctant at first to use the avocados. So when I served the soup for the first time, I served it with sour cream. To be on the safe side.
But I made a big pot, like I always do, because I'm lazy like that.
So the next day when I served the same soup again, this time, I bravely added chunks of avocados in each bowl.
And you know…
I'm glad I did because the avocados made the soup taste creamier, even without the cheese and sour cream.
The avocados were subtle, yet surprisingly seductive and intriguing that makes the palate hunger for more…
Here's the recipe:
Chunky Mexican Chicken Soup
Serves 4 – 6 people
3 or 4 large split chicken breasts – bone in, skin on
3 TBSPs. canola or olive oil
4 tsps. kosher salt
2 tsps. ground black pepper
3 TBSPs. olive oil
2 large onions – peeled and chopped
6 garlic cloves – smashed, peeled and chopped
4 jalapeno peppers – seeds removed and chopped
4 medium size carrots – peeled and chopped
2 large stalks celery – chopped
1 can (28 ounces) whole peeled tomatoes
1 tsp. ground coriander seed
1 tsp. ground cumin
1 tsp. dried basil
4 cans (14.5 ounces each) chicken broth or 6 cups chicken stock
2 cups filtered water
5 (6 inch) white or yellow corn tortillas – sliced and chopped into 1-inch squares
½ cup chopped cilantro
2 tsps. coarse sea salt or to taste
½ tsp. ground black pepper
Corn tortilla chips – to serve on the side
Optional Toppings:
3 large ripe Avocado – peeled seeded and cut into chunks (allow ½ avocado per person)
Grated sharp cheddar cheese or Pepper Jack Cheese
Sour cream
Remove chicken from the package and rinse under cold running water. Pat dry with paper towels. And place chicken in a heavy duty baking sheet.
Pour a little bit of oil – canola or olive oil on each chicken breast and rub the oil all over the chicken breast.
Generously season the chicken breasts with kosher salt and ground black pepper. Season them on both sides.
Preheat the oven at 400°F.
Roast chicken breasts at 400°F for 50 minutes.
(Prepare all the vegetables needed while the chicken is roasting in the oven.)
Tear the chicken meat off the bones. Shred the chicken with your hands or tear them into chunks. Place chunks or shredded chicken in a bowl and cover with plastic wrap. Set aside while you prepare the other ingredients.
Discard bones and skins.
Heat a large pot and add 3 tablespoons olive oil.
Saute chopped onions until translucent.
Add garlic and saute few more minutes.
Add chopped celery, carrots, and jalapenos.
Stir and saute for five minutes.
Add the whole tomatoes. Break 'em into chunks using a spatula.
Add the chicken broth, plus 2 cups of water.
Add 1 tsp. ground coriander seed, 1 tsp. ground cumin and 1 tsp. dried basil.
Stir the mixture.
Cover pot and bring soup to a boil over medium heat. Once the soup is boiling, add the chopped corn tortillas.
Cover and simmer soup until vegetables are tender. And soup is slightly thick. About 20 minutes.
Add the shredded chicken to the soup and simmer again for another 15 minutes.
Taste to see how much salt is needed. Otherwise, add 2 teaspoons coarse sea salt and 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper.
Serve warm with your favorite corn tortilla chips on the side.
Top each bowl of soup with chunks of avocado.
And for richer, heartier soup, top each bowl with shredded cheddar cheese and sour cream.
Tess' Kitchen Secrets:
#1 – Avocado chunks make this soup taste creamier. The creaminess comes when you take a spoonful of the soup with a small chunk of avocado.
#2 – Shredded Cheddar or Pepper Jack Cheese takes this soup to another level.
#3 – Corn tortilla chips is a great accompaniment to the soup. It makes the soup less serious, even though it is. And makes the soup fun to eat.
Enjoy and Happy Cooking!

Today's David Tennant Treat 4 Today is a photo from the Doctor Who Series 4 episode Partners In Crime.
When this photo was first posted onto the internet (before the series started) lots of fans thought that this shot was from when the Doctor first saw Donna working in an office (as Catherine Tate had been spotted filming in a suit).
Of course it wasn't but it does show a gleeful look on David Tennant / The Doctor's face!

Karen Dobkins, Ph.D.
Director, Mind, Experience & Perception Laboratory
Karen Dobkins is a Professor in the Department of Psychology at the University of California, San Diego, and the Director of the Mind, Experience & Perception Laboratory (formerly Infant Vision Laboratory). She earned her Ph.D. in Neurosciences at the University of California, San Diego in 1992. She has been conducting research on infant and child development for over 20 years. Areas of study in the Dobkins lab include visual, cognitive, emotional and social development. Her laboratory works with both typical and atypical populations, including infants born prematurely, infants born at risk for developing Autism, as well as individuals born deaf. The work is supported the National Institute of Health (NIH) and the National Science Foundation (NSF) as well as many private funding agencies.
In more recent years, Dr. Dobkins has been using her expertise in infant visual development to help design learning spaces for kids, with the goal of increasing the visibility of objects in the learning environment as well as designing rooms that improve mental well being.
Development. The goal of this research is to understand typical and atypical development in terms of underlying biological mechanisms. To this end, we study visual, cognitive and sleep pattern development in 1) typical infants, 2) deaf infants (including those that have received cochlear implants), 3) "high-risk" infants (including those born prematurely, and/or at risk for developing Autism, and 4) children/adolescents with Autism. Our developmental studies employ several different types of measures: perceptual methods, actigraphy, hormonal assays, and behavioral assessments.
Mindfulness and Mental Well-being: With anxiety and depression on the rise, our laboratory is looking into novel Mindfulness-based approaches for enhancing mental well-being. This includes: 1) The effects of a "Principles of Clarity" (16 hour) workshop created and led by Dr. Dobkins, 2) The effects of exercise and positive affirmations, 3) The effects of mindfulness and compassion meditation, 4) The effects of a "deep human connection" intervention on the ability to read the feelings of others (what we refer to as "Theory of Heart"), and 5) The effects of hugging on establishing intimacy. Some of our studies are now being conducted in other countries, including China and Japan, which allows for a cross-cultural comparison.
Relationships. Complementing the Mindfulness work is our fascination with romantic and non-romantic relationships: how people view them, and what people expect from them. Working in collaboration with the laboratories of Nicholas Christenfeld and Christine Harris at UCSD, we are asking questions such as: 1) how do people represent themselves to, and want do they want from, a potential romantic partner? and 2) how do people view their own sexuality (i.e., behaviors and desires) in comparison to percepts of others' sexuality of the same gender, and do men and women have misperceptions about each other's sexuality?

Noob Question About Dragging Legitimacy
Lilboots last edited by
How i have always seen it. You require one; either feinting or drags or it'll be a trade fest going no where until stam gone. I will always drag before resorting to a lowly feint. Hue hue

Dragging is what makes this game. One of the hints during loading between battles is "control weapon swing by using R stick"… without that control this game would be like every other fighting game.

In case you're wondering just what happened that led to that ouster, the Wall Street Journal (subscription may be required) has a good article that explains the timeline and why the military took the action they did:
"That Mr. Zelaya acted as if he were above the law, there is no doubt. While Honduran law allows for a constitutional rewrite, the power to open that door does not lie with the president. A constituent assembly can only be called through a national referendum approved by its Congress.
But Mr. Zelaya declared the vote on his own and had Mr. Chávez ship him the necessary ballots from Venezuela. The Supreme Court ruled his referendum unconstitutional, and it instructed the military not to carry out the logistics of the vote as it normally would do.
The top military commander, Gen. Romeo Vásquez Velásquez, told the president that he would have to comply. Mr. Zelaya promptly fired him. The Supreme Court ordered him reinstated. Mr. Zelaya refused.
Calculating that some critical mass of Hondurans would take his side, the president decided he would run the referendum himself. So on Thursday he led a mob that broke into the military installation where the ballots from Venezuela were being stored and then had his supporters distribute them in defiance of the Supreme Court's order.
The attorney general had already made clear that the referendum was illegal, and he further announced that he would prosecute anyone involved in carrying it out. Yesterday, Mr. Zelaya was arrested by the military and is now in exile in Costa Rica.
It remains to be seen what Mr. Zelaya's next move will be. It's not surprising that chavistas throughout the region are claiming that he was victim of a military coup. They want to hide the fact that the military was acting on a court order to defend the rule of law and the constitution, and that the Congress asserted itself for that purpose, too."
As a side note, we are living in interesting times. We have North Korea threatening nuclear attack on the U.S., extreme unrest and instability in the South American region, a president who is gaining a reputation for being nice to enemies while snubbing our friends and allies, and our own government which doesn't seem to care about what our Constitution says when it places limits on what they can do.
It's times like these when I wonder if one day we'll look back and say 'all the pieces were there and we should have seen it coming' ...

In truth, if you were to survey any specific career field, you 'd likely discover that just about 1% (and probably even less than that) ever take the time to check out all of the bestsellers that are offered each year from that particular field– and even less than that whatever take the time to read all of the bestsellers from the last five or 10 years to provide the kind of foundational understanding that might catapult their success to completely brand-new levels.

You probably really liked the two-part Top Gear special that concluded last weekend for two reasons: one, it was suitably Top Gear. And two, it was conducted with three wagons.
If you're like me, you probably thought a Volvo 850R Wagon would make a great car to track down and it crossed your mind every time James May scraped the front of his as he drove on some awful gravelly road.
Many of you in the UK are not like me, because you've spent the last week searching for a Subaru Impreza WRX wagon, because as MSN Cars reported, searches for those old cars were up dramatically while the shows were being aired.
According to the data from Motors.co.uk, search traffic for used WRX wagons was up 826% while the first part was airing and 668% during the second part. Far more than the jump in searches for 850Rs or BMW 528i Tourings like the one Jeremy ruined, err... drove.
Now, depending on where those numbers started, it could mean all of 40 people were searching for those Subarus while watching Top Gear, but regardless, Jeremy, Richard and James probably remind us of some cars from the not-too-distant past that were in fact really great. I'm reminded that I do miss when you could get the WRX in a fairly upright, practical wagon format instead of the rounder, less practical hatch that replaced it.
OK, forget the 850R, I'm going to go look for some old WRX wagons. In blue, of course. Actually, what would be great is if I could find a nice Saab 9-2X Aero … wait, don't get me started.
