  1. netmasta : First time illegally by the Supreme Court.Second time the incombent usually wins & general voter stupidity .Or mainly just a lack of enough who will vote.I viewed Kerry as a pretty sorry choice too so no one to vote for.
  2. PETA doesn't that stand for People that Eat & Torture Animals ? waterRTBH: I hope your turkey turned out well(mine did).I didn't put it in the recipe but since the amount of celery that is stuffed in the turkey is light so it doesn't affect the cooking time as far as I can tell. I have also tried the breast down method.One of my roasters has an adjustable rack that can be used flat or V for the breast side down.I got this roaster just so I could try it this way.To me it makes the breast meat taste more like the dark meat.So I like the breast side up. On turning a turkey over like if you want it browned on the back too.For a photo op or something. I use a heavy duty spatula(the all stainless steel kind that looks like silverware) & a folded paper towel.A cooking glove might help but they are usually too small for me so I don't have any. I have only done this a couple of times more to see how it worked .For me the back can stay unbrowned because when have you had someone say "carve me off some of the back meat."
  3. Damn now I'm going to have to watch a fly ! If you try to fail, but you succeed, which have you done? Became confused. What is the sound of one hand clapping? Theres something a little Zen this morning.
  4. waterRTBH : Your welcome on the tips.I never inject once its in the oven I leave it alone for the 3 & 1/2 hours except for an ocassional check of the oven thermometer to make sure its staying around 325. My turkey this year has one of the plastic popups that sare supposed to let you know its done.But I have a good meat thermometer I do the final check with too. I hope you meant wings but the other might make an interesting shaped bird .
  5. waterRTBH : I think most cooks modify a little .Thats why I leave the spices up to the cook. The lemon/water/salt mixture helps tenderize the meat while it is cooking . On the celery I don't use what is in the turkey.If you really need to you could but removing it for the dressing will make the turkey cool a good deal faster while the dressing is cooking. The celery stuffing adds moisture to the bird while it is cooking as well as the celery flavor. What is stuffed in the neck cavity holds the skin out so it looks nicer . I used to use the metal trussing skewers too; but decided sewing the neck & rear shut sealed the moisture in better.The metal skewers are much better than leaving the turkey open. The reason I don't like to cook the bread stuffing inside the turkey is it has a drying effect & takes longer to cook this also drys the outer meat while the dressing is getting done. I always remove the metal leg clamp.For 3 reasons 1. I think you can wash the turkey better 2. more room to wash the inside wit the lemon/water mixture & rub spices on the inside. 3. When you remove the foil for the last hour & cut the string it gives a better brown to the inside of the legs. Did you tie the wings across the breast or use the Oriental tuck the wings behind the back or neither.You might want to add an extra 1/2 to 1 hour cooking time to adjust for the cooling the turkey will do when you are injecting it. I did like your 2 piece foil idea.I usually use the extra wide heavy duty but I will have to give that a try. On the brining I don't care for it myself.You might want to roast a chicken this way first before trying it for a holiday dinner.It will produce a salty & sweet flavor so that might not be the flavor you want.On any brining mixture you want to watch the acid level or it will over-tenderize the meat.Especially if you marinate it too long. Btw mine went in a 7:30.
  6. Happy Thanksgiving & remember the Native Americans contribution even if some of them protest it now. I'm at least 1/8 Native American probably more so I celebrate from both sides.
  7. You must not be on the road with some of the drivers I am or you wouldn't have to ask. I've accused several of being blind .
  8. Shug7272 : You stole the answer I was going to use.I think you watch too much blue collar comedy.
  9. I know double post but I wanted to seperate this from the recipe.I have read about the turduken & even seen one prepared & cooked on TV.But I have never tried it have you? I think its tricky getting the duck to swallow the chicken then the turkey to swallow the duck.
  10. waterRTBH : I hope you really wanted a recipe because it took me a while to write it.I have cooked the turkey for my family for so many years I don't need to read a recipe.So it wasn't written anywhere.It probably looks more complicated than it is when you do it. This assumes you have properly thawed the bird for 5 days in a paper sack in the refrigerator or are using a fresh never frozen turkey. This is my turkey recipe.It is for a moist meated turkey if you prefer the meat dry (& some do) then you
  11. It keeps someone from swallowing it. Because some people have hair on their shoulders & backs too.
  12. coknuck is the primary only a double the belts that peolpe wear made from a Primary chain look like there are more that 2 rows. The only primary chain I ever replaced was on my BSA 650 & that was so long ago I remember it was a least double row .I don't have it anymore so I can't check.
  13. resopalrabotnick:I agree on the belts looking like conveyer belts.I've never used a double row bike chain but I've used double row timing chains in a couple of different car engines & had very good results.I never threw one or had it jump timing. I need to see if I can find a picture of one of the old Suzukis that came stock with a rotary engine.
  14. Personally I think a drive shaft is the best .I prefer a chain for a dirt bike.I haven't owned a belt-driven bike so I haven't had to get a belt for one.I have ridden a couple of them.I really couldn't tell much difference but then I was riding them easy since they weren't mine. For a show bike that isn't going to be ridden make the belt out of solid gold & encrust it with diamonds & other jewels.Its just art at that point no one in their right mind would ride a $100000 + bike on the street anyway.
  15. barutcu: I would suggest first that you try the testmy test with your firewall disabledto see if it is causing the speed to be slow.You probably should DL Cablenut & try the file for your connection. The Cablenut settings are easy to remove if you don't like them.You can even use it to detect your current settings .Just make a copy of them & put them back. On what the results of the tests show I sure your RWIN is too small for your connection. On # 16 if you use a value above 65535 for TcpWindowSize and GlobalMaxTcpWindowsize then Tcp13230pts needs to be set to 1 to enable it .If you use 64240 as a multiple of 44 x 1460 which would be the windows scale to 1 then use 0.
  16. Male To quote Frank Zappa "Watch out where the Huskies go & don't you eat that yellow snow"
  17. Cholla is a species of cactus that grows in my area & a lot of the southwest .Kind of full of thorns like me.Partly took it from a character in an old western movie tittled "Branded" they actually pronounced ot correctly Choy Ya. In Spanish it means joint or jointed,segment.On old Spanish it is supposed to mean Top of Head. BTW coknuck like the way you came up with yours.I almost bought an old Harley the the color of yours when I was a teenager .It was a 1958 model I think it had the leather saddle bags.I couldn't get the guy to bargain down from $900 to $750. which is all I could come up with at the time.Wish I had it now probably could get $10000. or more for it.I opted for a 1970 BSA 650 instead Bought it for $500.
  18. I thought I would throw in a quote. It is a worthy thing to fight for one's freedom; it is another sight finer to fight for another man's. -- Mark Twain The Walmart employ was right many of the Christmas traditions are not of Christian origin.Or even from Judism.But try getting that across to a Baptist preacher.
  19. ratchet : Choose one of the other NDT tests at this link.Sometimes one will give that warning & the rest won't the problem is with the test not your OS. http://e2epi.internet2.edu/ndt/ndt-server-list.html Check these topics for some definitions of the test results. http://www.testmy.net/forum/index.php?topic=9537.0 http://www.testmy.net/forum/index.php?topic=9538.0
  20. I did this in a topic a while back but I have made some changes. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This is how my Windows 98 SE& windows ME are tweaked.You need to determine what RWIN ,MTU,&MSS your OS needs to use .Then you can add them to your registry . These tweaks will allow you to make some adjustments to your system if you want to do it yourself.There are programs that will do this for you. Like Cablenut but it won't make all of these.If you use one of these this will allow you to see if the program made these adjustments to your registry.If you don't like the adjustment a program made you can change it back if you don't like adjustments to the program you are using to automatically make the adjustments for you.Some allow ajustments some do not.Since I can't know what you have installed you will have to decide what it will take for your OS to keep the settings you want. You need to install this patch http://dslnuts.com/patch/236926usa8.exe It might already be installed or you might be able to get it from MS . This is the MS link
  21. These are the Cablenut settings in my Windows ME.The ones that say they are not a MS setting are not in the MS default list for the MSTCP in the registry. BcastNameQueryCount 0 BcastQueryTimeout 100 BSDUrgent 1 CacheTimeout=600000 DefaultRcvWindow=11680 DefaultTOS = 92 DefaultTTL=128 EnableDNS=0
  22. Hey all: I think The Half mistook what this topic was about.Apparently he had a topic or post edited for posting about a copy of Windows XP Pro he was putting on several PC's Or thats the way I understood his post here. If he had read he would have seen this topic is about FreeRAM XP Pro a program to free up some of the RAM very helpful if you don't have as much RAM as you would like. So The Half just needs to read what the topic is about before he posts. He can correct me if I got it wrong.
  23. rayray909: I decided to reinstall FreeRAM XP Pro & uninstall MPower just to see if I liked it better. So far they seem about equal. I have found that having 2 RAM freeing program at once seem to conflict with each other.Unless you just diasable a lot in one of them .If you do that then why have it installed .So I like to run one at a time. With the exception of Cacheman which does other things I just turn its RAM freeing functions down so they never free RAM & let the other program do it.
  24. DeadlyTiger; Take mine with dial-up for example this is good speed for dial-up but only 4.11% of my hosts average.My host also has several types of DSL connections I know so these are averaged in too. ::.. Download Stats ..::: Connection is:: 51 Kbps about 0.1 Mbps (tested with 97 kB) Download Speed is:: 6 kB/s Tested From:: https://testmy.net/ (server2) Test Time:: Thu Nov 10 14:42:58 CST 2005 Bottom Line:: 1X faster than 56K 1MB download in 170.67 sec Diagnosis: May need help : running at only 4.11 % of your hosts average (nts-online.net) Validation Link:: https://testmy.net/stats/id-N00Q8AJV4
