How to Prepare for Your Thanksgiving DinnerIn Feburary 2016 25,
In Feburary 2016 25,
Thanksgiving dinners require a lot of planning in advance and at least a couple of trips to the supermarket, so following a countdown schedule is useful when planning your Thanksgiving feast:As soon as you decide to host a dinner, make up a guest list and invite your guests. Don't invite more people than you can afford to feed. Invite people via phone calls, so you can get an instant yes or no.Do your shopping one week before. If you wait until the last couple of days, all the decent-sized turkeys will be gone and you'll have to settle for a small one or fool your guests with a giant chicken. Buy all the ingredients for your recipes, and put the turkey in the coldest part of your freezer.Make sure you have all the necessary cooking equipment. In addition to the usual assortment of pots and pans, locate a cheese grater, a strainer, an electric mixer and various sized mixing bowls and baking dishes.Three days before Thanksgiving, do a massive cleaning job on your fridge--you're going to need the room. Also, take the turkey out of the freezer and move it into the refrigerator, so it can properly defrost. One day before, prepare all your side dishes and pies. Unless you have more than one oven, you might not have the room to bake any thing with the turkey at the same time. This also gives you more time to schmooze with your guests. Get dinner rolls, salad, drinks, ice, napkins and table decorations.On Thanksgiving day, prepare the rest of the food (especially the turkey) about five hours before you plan to eat, set the table and serve the meal.
Prepare the Turkey
To get the tastiest and safest bird possible, pick out a turkey that is 4- to 6-months-old, Grade A and USDA-approved. Buy a frozen turkey at least three days in advance so you can properly defrost it.To figure out how big of a turkey you need, estimate that each guest will eat about 1.3 lbs., then round up. For example, for eight guests: 8 x 1.3 = 10.4. Your turkey should weigh at least 11 lbs.Avoid prestuffed turkeys. Even though they seem efficient, baking turkeys with the stuffing inside them promotes bacterial growth, which can cause illness.Any turkey under 20 lbs. should take no more than three days to thaw in the fridge. For turkeys over 20 lbs., it may take four or five days.On Thursday morning, you'll have a nice, defrosted turkey sitting in your fridge. Preheat your oven to 325 degrees F. Remove the turkey wrapper. 'Wash' your turkey by running cold, wet paper towels along its body. Dry the turkey with paper towels. Pull out the neck from the body cavity and remove the giblets from the neck cavity. Drain the juices and blot the cavities with paper towels. Rub the outside of the turkey with olive oil, then rub on some salt and pepper.If your turkey has roasting directions on its packaging, it's best to follow those. However, here are some universal instructions: Place the turkey breast-side up on a flat rack in an open roasting pan about 2 inches deep. In general, a turkey should be roasted 10 to 12 minutes per pound at 325 degrees. You'll know when your turkey is done when a meat thermometer that's inserted into the thigh reads 175 to 180 degrees.About a half hour before you expect the turkey to be done, check in on it and make sure there aren't any catastrophes. If you find that your turkey is browning too quickly (which often happens to larger birds), cover the entire pan with a loose tent of aluminum foil.Let the turkey stand 15 to 20 minutes before carving.Stuff the turkey after it's been fully cooked to prevent bacterial growth. Make bread stuffing, then spoon it into the two 'empty compartments' at the front and back of the bird.Bread Stuffing
12 cups day-old bread, cut into ½-inch cubes
4½ cups chicken stock
2½ sticks celery, finely chopped
1¼ onion, peeled and finely chopped
2½ large eggs
½ cup walnuts, choppedPreheat your oven to 350 degrees. Melt the butter in a large frying pan over medium heat, then add the celery and onions and cook for about five minutes. Put all the ingredients into a large bowl and mix well. Use your hands if necessary.Transfer the stuffing into a 9- x 13-inch buttered baking pan and cover with aluminum foil. Bake for 20 minutes, then remove the foil, raise the oven temperature to 400 degrees and bake for another 20 minutes. The stuffing is done when the top is brown and crispy.
Prepare Side Dishes
Cornbread
1 tbsp. vegetable shortening
1 tsp. baking powder
1 tsp. baking soda
2 cups buttermilk
1¾ cups stone-ground cornmeal
2 large eggs
¾ tsp. salt
1 tbsp. sugarPreheat the oven to 450 degrees. In a large bowl, whisk together the cornmeal, baking soda, baking powder, sugar and salt. Beat the eggs in a medium bowl, then add buttermilk. Combine this mixture with the cornmeal mix. Stir everything until just barely blended to get that mealy cornbread texture.Drop the vegetable shortening into the center of an 8- x 8-inch glass baking pan. Put the pan in the oven and watch it until smoke starts rising from the shortening. Quickly remove the pan from the oven, pour in the batter and bake 20 to 25 minutes. The cornbread is done when the top is brown and the center feels firm when you poke it.Cranberry sauce
16 oz. fresh cranberries
1¼ cup sugar
1¼ cup waterBoil the water and sugar in a medium saucepan. Add the cranberries, and bring the mixture to a boil. Reduce the heat to low and cook for another 10 minutes. Stir occasionally.When all the cranberries have split open from the heat, pour the contents of the saucepan into a strainer placed over a medium-sized bowl. Push the sauce through the strainer with the back of a spoon until there is no pulp left in the strainer. Stir the cranberry sauce and transfer it to a small bowl. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and put it in the fridge to cool for at least three hours.Mashed Potatoes
8 medium-sized potatoes
6 tbsp. butter
¾ cup warm milk
salt and black pepper to taste
½ cup chopped chives (optional)
½ cup bacon bits (optional)
If you opt to use both optional options, incorporate only ¼ cup of each.Peel the potatoes, then cut them in half width-wise. If you want to make your mashed potatoes more nutritious, leave half the potatoes unpeeled (but wash them thoroughly).Boil the potatoes in a large pot of slightly salted water for 20 minutes, longer if they're not tender enough to be pierced easily. Drain them, and put them back in the pot, cover the pot and shake the potatoes around a bit. Add the milk and butter, and mix on medium speed until the potatoes are smooth and creamy. If necessary, add more milk, but add only 1 tbsp. at a time or you might end up with watery potatoes. Add the optional ingredients if desired, then salt and pepper to taste.
Desserts
If you have time, make both.Pumpkin pie
If this pie isn't being made on Thanksgiving day, it should be the last thing you make the night before; the pie crust will begin to soften after it's baked with the filling, so the sooner your guests devour it, the better.1 ready-made pie crust
2 cups canned pumpkin puree
1/3 cup firmly packed brown sugar
½ cup sugar
1½ cup evaporated milk
3 eggs
1 tsp. group cinnamon
1 tsp. ground ginger
½ tsp. ground nutmeg
½ tsp. salt
Whipped toppingPreheat oven to 375 degrees and warm the pie crust in the oven until it is feels hot. In a large bowl, mix all the other ingredients together until smooth.Remove the pie crust from the oven, pour the pumpkin filling into it and bake 35 to 40 minutes. Keep checking up on the pie, because it'll crack if overbaked. The pie is done when the filling is mostly solid and only a tad bouncy when nudged.Cool the pie on a rack, and then refrigerate until the next day. Don't freeze pumpkin pies because they don't thaw to the same consistency. Serve with a dollop of whipped topping on each slice.Cranberry-blueberry pie a la mode
1 ready-made pie crust
12 oz. frozen unsweetened blueberries
12 oz. fresh cranberries
1½ cups sugar
1 tsp. ground cinnamon
½ tsp. ground nutmeg
¼ cup cornstarch
6 tbsp. orange juice
2 tbsp. heavy cream
Half gallon vanilla ice creamPreheat the oven to 375 degrees.Combine the blueberries, cranberries, sugar, cinnamon and nutmeg in a large bowl and mix well. Heat the orange juice in a large saucepan and slowly add cornstarch until it dissolves. Add the berry mix and bring everything to a boil over medium-high heat. Cook and stir the mixture constantly five to eight minutes until the sauce thickens. Remove it from heat and let it cool completely.Carefully spoon the berry filling into the ready-made pie crust. Sprinkle the top of the pie all over with 1 tbsp. of sugar. Bake for about an hour, or until the crust is brown and the berry filling is bubbling. Check on the pie constantly to make sure the crust doesn't crack and the berries aren't bubbling over.Cool the pie and refrigerate until one hour before it's to be served or serve the pie warmed over and with a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top of each slice.
Set the Table and Serve the Food
Make sure you have enough space, chairs and utensils for everybody. Get out the fancy silverware, dinnerware, napkins and glasses and wash them all. If you don't own any fancy dining equipment, buy a matching plastic set. Arrange the tableware at each seating nicely. If you're serving soup or chowder, place a soup bowl on top of each plate.If your table isn't large enough to accommodate all your guests, all the dishes, and the turkey, get out a folding table, situate it on the end of the dinner table, and place all the dishes and food there. After each guest has had some of each side dish, the dishes can be placed on this backup table and accessed for seconds and thirds. Drinks and ice also can be placed on the folding table.Ask everyone to be seated before presenting the food. Bring out the side dishes first and the turkey last. You want to make a grand entrance, so clear out a space for it on the table beforehand. When carving your turkey, keep these tips in mind: Cut the joints, not the bones; go with the grain of the meat; separate the thighs and drumsticks by bending the turkey legs away from the body and cutting at the place where they meet; when cutting the breast meat, place your knife parallel and as close to the wing as possible, and cut straight to the bone. Then cut slices perpendicular to this base cut.Don't fear leftovers--they're good to eat for up to five days after you prepared them if stored properly. Cover the dishes with plastic wrap or aluminum foil and put them in the fridge. Remove all the stuffing from the turkey and store the two separately.

How to Install Drupal On 1and1 ServersIn Feburary 2016 21,
In Feburary 2016 21,
OVERVIEW: Before we get into any of the steps below, I am assuming that you are a web designer or programmer that has been looking for an open source content management platform, and decided to use Drupal. I am also assuming that you are hosting your website with 1and1 on a linux package. If both of these assumptions are correct, then proceed to step 2.
INTRO: Congratulations, you have chosen a really cool content management platform that keeps expanding and growing. I am still learning the system myself, but I wrote this article to help anyone who has run into the same install issues that I had when tring to load drupal onto my 1and1 server linux hosting package. I stress that you need to have a linux hosting package because you CAN NOT install drupal onto a 1and1 MS package. I have tried, and it does not work.
STEP 1: 1and1 Linux hosting package confirmation - Make sure that you have a 1and 1 linux hostig package. I recommend that you have at least a home package, but a business package will really be what you want to help expand the drupal system and to better manage your database. Check your 1and1 control panel settings to make sure you are set up correctly. You should have PHP support and a MySQL database option. If you are on the MS package, you will want to 'upgrade' your package to a Linux package. I had to do this with two of my accounts to get drupal to work.
STEP 2: Download Drupal files to your desktop - Go to the drupal.org site and download the most recent drupal version. At the time of my writing this article, the most recent version is 6.10. Download this to your desktop first so that we can easily work with the files. You will notice that you got a tar.gz file downloaded to your desktop. (link in resources below)
STEP 3: Expand Drupal Files - Now we are going to unzip or expand the files. Since this is a tar.gz file, and not a zip file, I recommend that you download and use a program called 7-zip (an open source file archive program) instead of winzip or other popular programs to expand the files. 7-Zip is a great tool, it is free, and it handles archived files really well. Download this program, then unarchive the drupal files to your desktop. (link in resources below)
Great, now you should have a new drupal folder on your desktop with all of the items fully expanded. If you did it correctly, you will see the following folders contained inside your drupal folder: 'includes', 'misc', 'modules', 'profiles', 'scripts', 'sites', 'themes', and other files below. Many directions will tell you to make changes at this point, but I want to urge you to follow my instructions now to help you visual and check in real-time the changes you are making.
STEP 4: FTP drupal files to your web server - Now take all of these files and FTP them to the root of your website. This would be the www folder or the main directory of your site. For the 1and1 server package, it would be the following www.yoursitename.com/ where you will see the '/' in your FTP client. I recommend that you drop the entire drupal folder into this directory to learn how to install the tool. Once you learn how to install the tool, you can later move all of the files out of the folder and drop them directly into your site's root structure. For this example, just call the folder 'drupal' - so for the purposes of this example and to help you install the program, you will be working with the following directory on your own server: 'www.yoursitenamehere/drupal'
STEP 5: Take a look at the drupal web install guide - The cool thing about drupal is that it has an install guide that you can access using a web browser. It helps you by giving you a checklist of things you need to correct, and it also allows you see that you have put the files onto your website server correctly. In this step, we are going to take a look at the web browser install tool, and proceed with configuring some files to get this to work correctly. If you followed my example, you can now open a web broswer and type in the following URL path to get to the installation of the drupal tool: www.yoursitenamehere/drupalIf you did as I specified, you should a screen that looks like the one attached. This will be the drupal online install guide, and it will immediately show us an error screen indicating that we need to configure our settings.
STEP 6: Disable 'register_globals' on 1and1 server - So as the error message says - we want to disable our 'register_globals' on our server. Doing this is very simple. For the 1and1 server package, to do this, we are going to need to create a file called php.ini and save it to the root structure of our drupal directory. Within this php.ini file we are going to place some code that disables the 'register_globals'. Now you may be wondering, how do I make a php.ini file? You can do it using dreamweaver, textpad, notepad, or any web editing tool you use. To keep this simple, I want you to do this using notepad.
STEP 7: Create a php.ini file - Open notepad or a basic text editor. Save this file to your desktop as php.ini (if it saves as a word file, that is fine, just change the name later to php.ini) copy and paste the following code into the file and save it to your desktop drupal folder:register_globals = false(see picture for reference) That is it!
STEP 8 FTP php.ini file to web server - Now take this file and FTP it to your web server in the root directory right into the drupal folder this means, drop it directly into the following location on your server - 'www.yoursitenamehere/drupal'. Once you do this, go back to your web brwser drupal install screen found here: www.yoursitenamehere/drupal, and refresh the screen. You should now see an error message that speaks to copying a setting.php file. It should look like the same message as the error image attached to this step. This is a common error message because as part of the drupal install process, we need to copy the setting.php file and change its permissions.
STEP 9: Create a 'settings.php' file - This is extremely easy to do and is part of the drupal install instructions that you can find on the drupal site. I will explain how to do it here however to keep you moving along smoothly. I do want to point out that you should use the FTP program 'Filezilla' for this step, as it allows you to change the CHMOD permissions on a file, where dreamweaver and other FTP programs do not. If you need to take a moment to install the free FTP program filezilla, please do that now using the link in the resource section below.
STEP 10: Create a 'settings.php' file - Going back to your local drupal desktop folder, find the folder called 'sites' and open it up. Inside you should see two more folders named 'all' and 'default'. Open up the folder named 'default'. You should now see a file named 'default.settings.php'. Simple copy the default.settings.php file resave it right into the 'default' folder along with the default.setting.php file. Since you can not have two files of the same name in the same folder, you are going to need to rename this new copied file as 'setting.php'. (see image for reference) and CHMOD it to 777, to make it readable (do this using filezilla if your FTP client does not allow permission changes)
STEP 11: FTP and CHMOD 777 'settings.php' file - Now we want to FTP this file over to your website server file directory into the 'default' folder in the 'sites' folder to go right along with the 'default.setting.php' file. So the path you will be using to FTP this file to your server if you are following the steps of this write-up is: www.yoursitenamehere/drupal/sites/defaultNow, I recommend that you use Filezilla to FTP this file, because we need to change the CHMOD (permissions) to 777. This makes this file readable and allows drupal to proceed with the installation on your server. Once you have connected to your web server using Filezilla, right click on the 'setting.php' file and change the 'file attributes' to 777. Then FTP this file to your server. I am assuming that you know how to use an FTP program, and if not, please see my link in the resources section to my article about how to use Filezilla.
STEP 12: Check drupal web install guide - Once you have uploaded this file to the server in the 'default' folder within the 'sites' folder of your websites root file directory, go back to the web browser drupal install view here: www.yoursitenamehere/drupal' and click refresh. If you did this install correctly, you should see a screen similar to the one attached to this step.
STEP 13: Increase PHP Memory - NOTE: please read the Drupal Database Configuration screen that you have in front of you now. There is a key element on here that we must address before we get into the actual database setup. In the yellow box, Drupal recommends that we increase our PHP mempory limit to 16M to help prevent errors. I HIGHLY recommend that at a minimum you increase the PHP memory to 16 MB, but it would not hurt to increase it to 32MB. To do this, we are going to go back to the 'php.ini' file that you created and add another line of code. Below the 'register_global' code you created, add the following:memory_limit = 36M (See image for example). Now FTP this new file back into your web file root folder and overwrite your old php.ini file and you should be done increasing the php memory. Go back to your drupal web broswer installation screen and refresh it, and you will now notice that the yellow box is gone, and we are left with the database configuration fields. (see image).
Excellent job so far! We are now at the fun and easy task of setting up a 1and1 MySQL database, and tieing it to the drupal program that we are installing. If you do not understand anything about MySQL databases, do not worry! This is easy to set up using the 1and1 control panel and we only have to change a few items in the drupal code to get everything to synch up. So lets get started creating our 1and1 database!
STEP 14: Create a 1and1 database for your account - Now we want to create a database in our 1and 1 control panel. Log into your 1and1 account using the customer login, and click on the MyAQL administration toolbar in the control panel. See image for reference.
STEP 15: Create a new database - Within the 1and1 MySQL admin tool, there is a button that says 'New Database'. Click this to get a screen that says MySQL Database Setup. You will be asked to give your database a name. Call it Drupal for now, select the version of MySQL to be 5.0, and then click 'setup'. You will get another screen that shows you your user name, password, host name, etc. Just click Finish. In about 30 minutes, you will have a new 1and1 database setup. When you have done all of these steps, and roughly 30 mintues have passed, you should see that your new database was created and you will also see that you have the following information for your new database:Database name: db#########Host name: db###.perfora.netUser name: dbo#########Password:
****
STEP 16a: Add the database info to your 'settings.php' file - There are actually two ways to do this step. Option A shown here is to use the drupal web install tool to enter in your database info. Option B outilined in the next step is the manual way to do this. I actually prefer to do the manual method in Option B, but you can do this either way. Here is option A: using the drupal web install guide at www.yoursitenamehere/drupalSimply enter in your site database name, database username, and database password into the basic option. Then open up the advanced options and enter in your site database host name. Then click save and continue at the bottom of the screen. (see image for reference)
STEP 16b: Add the database info to your 'settings.php' file - Here is option B: Manual processNow that you have created a database, and you have all the info needed for your database, we will need to manually add this info to the drupal 'settings.php' file that we created earlier and uploade to our web server. Doing this skips using the drupal web install guide. You might wonder why you want to do this. I have acutally had issues using the drupal web install guide during this step, so I do it manually, but try Option A if you are not comfortable doing this. To do Option B, simply open the 'settings.php' file again using the text editor, and change the following information:Search for $db_url =Change the line from this:$db_url = 'mysql://username:password@localhost/databasename';To this, using the info from step 15 above:$db_url = 'mysql://dbo#########:
****@db###.perfora.net/db#########';Now save this document and FTP it to your server again using Filezilla as CHMOD 777.
STEP 17: Drupal Final Site Configuration - Congratulations! You are now on the last step of your drupal install on a 1and1 server. If you did all of the steps above correctly, drupal will finalize the install, and you will see the attached screen when you go to the drupal web install guide at : www.yoursitenamehere/drupal Now, just type in the last requirements that it asks you for and click save and continue. It will now take you to your new drupal site and you will be logged in as the admin. Now you can set up your drupal site anyway you like. I will try to write some more articles about how to set up yoru drupal site, but there is a lot to do for this, so you you should probably read the drupal forums on the drupal.org site.

How to Upload Files to a WebsiteIn Feburary 2016 12,
In Feburary 2016 12,
Download and install an FTP (file transfer protocol) program. Smart FTP, Filezilla, CuteFTP and Core FTP Light are some of the choices that you can consider. They all work in essentially the same way. Core FTP LE (light version) has everything you need, it is easy to install and it is free.
Visit your web host and check the Frequently Asked Questions section. Look for instructions on setting up an FTP program. Keep this information in an open browser window on your computer or write the information down so you will have it handy should you need it again. Write down the host IP URL, your username and password, and the name of the folder you will need to connect with to upload your files.
Install Core FTP or another FTP program, open it and create a project. You will need to supply a name for the project. Use the name of your website to keep things simple. Before you can connect to your Web host, you will need to enter all the information you retrieved from your Web host. On the left side of the programs interface you will enter the name of the directory where all your website files are located on your computer. On the right side of the program you will enter the folder you need to upload your files to. It will typically be named 'public html,' or something similar. Enter the names of these folders. If you want Core to remember your password each time you sign in to upload files, click the 'Remember Password' box. Ensure your connection type is set to FTP.
Click the 'Connect' button and your FTP software will connect to the Web host folder you need to upload your files to. Your website folder will appear, with contents displayed. To upload a file, all you need to do is double click. The file will transfer to your Web host and be available for viewing on the Web.

How to Block an HTTPS ProxyIn Feburary 2016 09,
In Feburary 2016 09,
Select a web filter to install on your server. Filters such as Safe Squid, Wingate or Guardian Web Filter will identify proxy servers that attempt to identify your network, and will process those requests according to your instructions. Content filters, such as Allegro Surf, can also be used, by setting them to block the word 'proxy.'
Verify that your web filter is compatible with your operating software. Note that if your operating system is newer than the one required by the product, you will be able to use it; problems will occur, however, if you attempt to run a new product on an outdated operating system.
Install the software to your computer and select your options for how to process connections. Click on the option which checks the direct web access or use the firewall to allow only certain known sites. In the 'Web Filters' tab, enter names of the web pages that you want to block or ban. You can also name specific websites that you use for browsing. This prevents unwanted websites from hacking your information. It also stops redundant applications from downloading into your system.
