$phpEx = substr(strrchr(__FILE__, '.'), 1);


require($phpbb_root_path ."common.". $phpEx);
$user->session_begin();
$auth->acl($user->data);
$user->setup();

// Contains the user_add function
require("myForum/includes/functions_user.php");



//still nedd to validate user name and strip non chars.

Ludie's Cornbread Dressing

Ludie’s Cornbread Dressing Bake 1 hour 350°

2 pkgs. of Corn Kits. cooked

(she told me that for years that she made homemade cornbread, but

when she discovered Corn Kits she never used anything else, she said that they are just as good).

4 slices of toasted bread (cut in small cubes)

1 stick celery, chopped

1 onion, chopped (Dad likes the onion sautéed)

6 eggs

1 ½ to 2 cups chicken broth [she just estimated this & usually added more]

1 ½ cup shredded chicken

½ cup butter, melted

2 Tlbs. Sage

1 Tsp poultry seasoning

Salt & Pepper

She told me that she always stewed & deboned a chicken the day before so that she would have the chicken and the broth for the dressing.

She also said that when people arrived they were always hungry, so she had the deboned chicken to make chicken salad for them.

Directions: As told to me by my mother: You can cook the cornbread the day before. 1. Use a big mixing bowl and crumble the cornbread with your hands and add the toasted bread.

2. Add everything else.

It should be a little soupy. It will be moist when cooked.

Put into an oblong baking dish. Bake @ 350° for 1 hour.

Rotate Images with PHP

Here is one way to create a collection of images rotated at one degree intervals.

Savings Rate Higher but Still Has Some Way to Go

The annual savings rate in the United States in 2009 was almost two percentage points higher than in 2008, climbing to a 17-year high of 5.9 percent. However, this level of savings was more than 20% lower than the 1929 to 2009 average of 7.5 percent, and ranked 52nd during the 80-year period.




An analysis of the moving averages during the period provides evidence that we may have reached a turning point; a moving average crossover occurred for the first time in about 30 years. That is, the 4-year moving average was higher than the 10-year moving average rate. This suggests that the personal savings rate may start trending higher. What remains to be seen is if it will persist as long as did in the 1960s.
