Rated 4 out of 5 by Nina812 amazing hadbag I bought a pink one and the bag is really good-looking, it's my favorite handbag right now. When talking about the size, I think it is good or me because it can hold an ipad inside! It's amazing. However, the only problem I think is the soft leather. Only after 2-week use, I can find many abrasions in the edge. I felt bad because it took me a lot money and it is so hard to keep it like new. May 28, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by Jpismyhome Size is too small I fell in love with this bag when I saw this in store and bought it later online. However, the bag is too small, just a cell phone and a wallet, no cosmetic case. Maybe good for a night out. Not practical for everyday use since it has white colorblock as well. At a first glance, it looks like Chanel and very feminine. But it is a little chunky considering the fact that it is not that big. Only 3 stars for me. May 14, 2014

Illini Excel in the Classroom
- 165 student-athletes were recognized by the conference as Academic All-Big Ten honorees.
- 45 student-athletes were named Big Ten Distinguished Scholars - earning a minimum grade-point average (GPA) of 3.7 or higher for the previous academic year.
Academic Excellence
The goal of each sports program within the Division of Intercollegiate Athletics at the University of Illinois is to strive toward success. The DIA has taken a comprehensive approach to the success of the student-athlete. The Illini Life Skills program is designed to meet the total needs of the student-athlete.
Sponsored by the NCAA, the Illini Life Skills program is comprised of five programming commitment areas viewed as critical to personal growth and development. The commitment areas are: academic excellence, athletic excellence, personal development, service to campus and surrounding communities and career development.
This comprehensive balance of academic excellence, athletic achievement and personal well-being is stressed daily by the staff and coaches. Inevitably, a student-athlete's playing days will end, but with the assistance of the Illini Life Skills program, each Fighting Illini athlete will be fully prepared for career and personal challenges ahead.
Presentations and workshops in many of the above areas can be ordered from the Illini Life Skills menu on an individual or team basis. Each program is tailored to the specific individual's request.
Among the elements stressed by the academic services department to assure student-athlete success are counseling and tutorial services, a monitoring program and state-of-the-art computer labs. The Irwin Academic Center, the former Kappa Alpha Psi fraternity house, opened as a center to consolidate academic services for student-athletes.
Athletic Excellence
Athletically, the University of Illinois has long supported a broad-based sports program. Its coaching staff and facilities are among the nation's best. The UI's support units included excellent staffs for recruiting, equipment, facilities maintenance, fund-raising, publicity and promotions. Its sports medicine staff not only assists student-athletes in strength training and conditioning, but also in personal health maintenance.
Personal Development
As important as the UI's commitment is to the student-athlete's performance in the classroom and on the field, it also considers the individual's spiritual and emotional needs, and his/her career objectives. Fighting Illini student-athletes are afforded the opportunity to attend a variety of seminars during their collegiate experience, helping them enhance their future following athletics. Among the seminars offered are those in career placement, financial planning, time and stress management, sexual harassment, drug and alcohol education and player/agent relations.
The DIA sponsors a Student Athletic Advisory Committee (SAAC), which is made up of representatives from all 19 Fighting Illini intercollegiate athletic teams. The DIA also organizes a program called "Hometown Heroes, which give Illini student-athletes the opportunity to participate in many different community service activities.
Career Development
The strong relationships built within the vast Illinois alumni networking system provide excellent opportunities for all student-athletes, whether it be for summer jobs, internships or in career placement after graduation. Once the individual's career is established, the DIA asks for participation in a follow-up program that allows student-athletes to benefit from their predecessors' experiences.

In our last installment, we covered the chassis and suspension. Now we will address the engine and its accessories, the drivetrain, and the braking systems.
Engine: Test Fit, Accessories, ECM, Dry Sump, Headers, Detailing, And Installation
Since the theme for our car is the combination of the first Z06 model offered with the latest Z06 engine, our plan from the beginning has been to use the LS7 engine. We have followed the development and availability of the GMPP engine and placed an order with Dobles Chevrolet in Manchester, New Hampshire, for one as soon as it was available. After some delay from the original introduction target date of August 2005, the engine was delivered in October 2005.
The engine comes assembled, along with the throttle body, injectors, flywheel, clutch, pressure plate, starter, exhaust manifolds, oil filter, spark plugs, and water pump. Several key components are not included, such as the dry sump tank, oil lines, ECM, wiring harness, accessory brackets, and alternator.
Test Fit
Our first step after the arrival of the engine was a test fit to see what issues we might face for the chassis, motor mounts, and engine accessories. as you might expect, we found several issues. The first was the pilot bearing needed to be changed. Through 2004, a needle roller clutch pilot bearing (No. 14061685) was used in the Y-Car. In 2005, a ball bearing design (No. 12557583), which is used on trucks, was released on passenger cars and is the one used on the LS7. This bearing is positioned approximately 10 mm further aft, and it doesn't allow the transmission shaft to seat all the way. Fortunately, the crankshaft still has a provision for the earlier-type bearing, which works fine. It may take a little doing to get the bearing out, so be sure to use a bearing puller designed for that purpose.
We also found the chassis cross-member under the engine needed to be modified to clear the dry sump pan. The cross-member was cut, and a new piece was welded in place. The last major change needed was to move the rack-and-pinion mount by a half-inch as the power-steering pump pulley would interfere with the intermediate steering shaft.
The good news was the engine fit well otherwise, as did the motor mounts and engine accessory brackets. We also tested headers for clearance of the chassis using the LS1-style, street-rod-style units since there were no sources for LS7 specific headers at the time.
Engine Accessories
Accessory Drive ::: Our accessories had to serve three purposes: function, fit, and appearance. There are several sources for serpentine-belt systems and brackets today. We chose Street & Performance (S&P) for the alternator, A/C compressor, power steering, and idler brackets. We also used the engine mount adapters from S&P for the motor mounts, which allow the use of small-block mounts. We used the mounts from Energy Suspension to match the other urethane bushings we've used.
Engine Systems ::: The LS7 is a bit more involved than other engines when it comes to setup, particularly because of the 58x reluctor and the dry-sump system.
Computer And Harness
For the engine management, we used the reprogrammed ECM and engine harness from Speartech, www.speartech.com. It's well made and the customer support is top notch. John Spears made it to function with the fly-by-wire throttle (we are using a C6 throttle pedal), which eliminates the need for a hard-wire cable.

Off the Grid: A Dispatch from BurundiPosted on Tuesday, August 21st, 2012 at 10:17 am
By Jennifer Weiss, Health Advisor, Concern Worldwide US
I started my work in Burundi around a year ago. Before I visited the country, I remember my colleague describing Burundi to me. "It's off the grid," she said.
The comment struck me as odd. I assured her that I had lived in Africa before and was more than prepared for the work that lay ahead. I couldn't possibly understand what she meant by "off the grid."
I quickly learned. Burundi, despite its geographic proximity to Tanzania, Kenya, and Rwanda, countries with growing economies and booming tourism industries, is heartbreakingly poor. In fact, Burundi is one of the world's five poorest countries. I knew this statistic before departure. However, it wasn't until I arrived in Burundi's capital city of Bujumbura that I completely understood my colleague's description. While in other capitals there are new businesses and construction, in Bujumbura there are none to be seen. When I asked a friend of mine who had been in Burundi in the '80s to explain how the capital had changed since then, she frankly responded: "It hasn't."

Ashburn, VA (SportsNetwork.com) - The National Football League has suspended Washington Redskins safety Tanard Jackson for a substance abuse violation for the fourth time in his career.
Jackson, who has not appeared in a game since 2011, had sat out the past two seasons under similar conditions prior to being reinstated in May. He has yet to play for the Redskins since originally signing with the club in April of 2012.
The 28-year-old's current ban will begin immediately and runs indefinitely.
Jackson's first suspension, a four-game penalty, came in 2009 while then with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. He was then forced to miss the final 14 games of the 2010 campaign for a repeat violation, but returned to start 10 games for the Bucs the following season.

On Sunday, April 15th, the Wilson College Softball and Lacrosse teams held the 2012 Pink Out games to raise awareness of and support for breast cancer.
The Wilson softball and lacrosse teams showed their support by wearing pink during the games and asking Phoenix fans to do the same. The teams also set up a booth with various educational pamphlets and posters to help raise awareness. The Wilson Alcohol Prevention Programing and Leadership Education (APPLE) team sponsored a non-alcoholic tailgate, providing free hot dogs and drinks to fans who visited the booth. In addition, the Wilson APPLE, softball, and lacrosse teams accepted donations to support women's health and the fight against breast cancer.
In total, the event raised $200 to support the American Cancer Society. Head softball coach, Brett Cline, was very pleased with the success of the special event. According to Cline, "The Pink Out was a great opportunity for our team to give back and support the fight against breast cancer and raise awareness for a disease that affects one out of eight women in the United States."

UFC President Dana White has received a fair amount of criticism for his comments at the UFC 167 post-fight press conference. Although the media mostly miscontrued his words, White did come across a bit harsh. White today visited the Underground Forum to defend himself and assure everyone that his and the UFC's relationship with champion St-Pierre did not suffer:
From: dfw jr
Posted: 11.20.13 8:22 PM Member Since: 1/1/01
Our relationship with GSP has never been better. I wasnt answering the UG i have not been on here in months and came on the week of the 20th. Someone text me today and said there were a ton of pussies crying so i popped in to answer some questions and tell some people to fuck off
One of the many amazing things about the fight game is that it creates a ton of emotion!!! i love talking fights, watching fights and everything else that goes along with it. I am just as much a fan as everyone else and love the sport, the UFC, the fans and most of the fighters. I thought Jon won his fight against Alexander and i thought Johnny won the other night and there are many different opinions as there are with every fight.
I wanted to make sure it was VERY clear to the world that we have NOTHING to do with the judges and refs. You the hard cores know that but the rest of the world that tunes in to a big fight like that does not. Anyway, thats all i got. Those of you that are crying and bitching for me to leave are going to have to go watch Golf cause we are working on big things and i am just gettin started fuckers.
Dana White stands by his GSP comments: 'He made a big mistake'
On Wednesday's edition of UFC Tonight on FOX Sports 1, White doubled down on his comments, saying that St-Pierre's comments were out of line.
"First of all I'm the guy who talks about GSP all the time," White said. "Talks what an amazing champion he's been, how amazing of a champion he's been, how he represents the sport, the title, the brand his country, his list goes on and on.
"But, he made a big mistake, when he said what he said," White continued. "Shouldn't have said it, didn't make sense, and it left everyone wondering what was going on, including me."
White seemed most bothered by the substantial brushback he's received to his opinion, stated at the press conference, that St-Pierre owes the sport.
"When we talk about GSP doesn't owe you anything,' You're wrong," said White. "Here's the reality. GSP took almost a year and a half off. And he's had two fights [actually three] since then, since he tore his ACL out. When you fight in this sport, there's a small opportunity for people, and there's a lineup of people who want a shot at the UFC 170-pound title. You can't just say I'm going to put this on hold because you have personal problems. You can't do that. No, you cannot. You can't do that."
The UFC president reiterated his belief that St-Pierre will return to the Octagon for a Hendricks rematch.
"There will be a rematch," White said. "GSP did not retire on Saturday night."
Georges St-Pierre's manager says retirement is 'possible' after recent Hendricks fight
In the aftermath of St-Pierre's controversial split decision win, St-Pierre announced intentions to take some time off from the sport of mixed martial arts. Now according to his manager, Rodolphe Beaulieu, it's "possible" UFC 167 may prove to have been the last fight of St-Pierre's career, according to a report from Ariel Helwani on Wednesday's UFC Tonight.
Beaulieu added that St-Pierre feels like he defeated Hendricks, and what St-Pierre stated inside the Octagon on Saturday night still stands, despite his battered state.
"I'm going to have a talk with the guys and see what's going to happen. The UFC has always been there for me, they always support me, I would never turn my back on UFC, never, ever," St-Pierre said after defending his title for the ninth straight time.
"I understand from the point of view for the UFC, it is bad for them if I leave like this. I need to make a point, man. I need to get out for a while. I don't know what I'm going to do."
Beaulieu expects to sit down with St-Pierre and discuss what's next in the coming weeks.
Following UFC 167's press conference, UFC President Dana White appeared bullish on the idea of staging an immediate rematch between St-Pierre and Hendricks.
"[St-Pierre] wants to fight," White said. "This isn't about fighting or retiring. It was a personal problem that has him very, very upset right now, and I'm very confident he's going to work it out."

Real Housewives of Beverly Hills
Brandi Glanville Claims Adrienne Maloof Used a Surrogate in Real Housewives of Beverly Hills — Exclusive
On the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills Season 3 finale, one of the main continuing storylines brought to the forefront once again is all about the feud between Brandi Glanville and Adrienne Maloof. Back in December, Adrienne and and her (now ex) husband Dr. Paul Nassif get into a raging argument with co-star Brandi after she accused Adrienne of a major lie regarding her family.
Bravo did not reveal on the show secret Adrienne was allegedly hiding. However, Wetpaint Entertainment was able to exclusively learn what Brandi said that sparked the war between the two Housewives.
"There's a gathering that most of the cast attends except Adrienne," an RHoBH insider told Wetpaint Entertainment about the episode where the feud erupted. "And during the party, Brandi takes issue with the fact that Adrienne insists she had her three boys naturally, while Brandi insists Paul and Adrienne used a surrogate."
Later, Kim Richards tells Adrienne and Paul and they go nuts.
"Was it the most tactful thing to say? No," the insider continues. "But Brandi and Adrienne already had some underlying issues with each other, which were clear during the cast trip to Ojai. And as we all know, Brandi has a very knee-jerk reaction when she thinks people are lying or being fake. This was her way of reacting to something she thought Adrienne was being dishonest about.
"What's unfair is what you'll see later in the season, which is certain people blaming Brandi for Adrienne and Paul's split," the insider adds. "Which is just ridiculous. One comment does not destroy a marriage. Obviously there was a lot more going on between Paul and Adrienne than anyone was aware of. But to blame Brandi for that one comment is silly."
Whether Brandi's right or not, we certainly don't know. We weren't in the delivery room. But we love how Brandi's not afraid to speak her mind… or how Adrienne's unafraid to give it right back!
While the tabloids may be all over the 'secret' of what Brandi said now, you heard it first here on Wetpaint!

Steakhouse Mac & Cheese
We went down to the beach for Thanksgiving. The weather was amazing and we had a wonderfully relaxing time. Our favorite dinner was at Seagar's in the hotel. The food was incredible. My favorite part of the meal was the macaroni and cheese. It was to-die-for delicious. It was so good, that we went back on our last night and shared a crab cake (it was more like a crab boulder) and an order of the macaroni and cheese.
I decided to try my hand at recreating the macaroni and cheese at home, and it turned out great! Chicken Legs said it tasted better than the original. This macaroni and cheese uses Camembert cheese. This was the first time we had heard of it. It is similar to brie. We picked up a wheel form Whole Foods and quickly realized that it stinks to high heaven. OMG! Make sure you buy this the day you make it and go straight home. (The macaroni and cheese doesn't stink - I promise). It is incredible that something so stinky can taste so amazing. Best macaroni and cheese EVER! I am already planning on making this again.
Steakhouse Mac & Cheese
serves 4
(Printable Recipe)
1/2 lb campanelle pasta
3 Tbsp butter
3 Tbsp all purpose flour
1 tsp onion powder
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1 1/2 cups heavy cream
1 cup milk
3 oz camembert cheese
3 oz provolone
Preheat oven to 350.
Cook pasta according to package directions. Drain and set aside.
Melt butter in a large sauce pot over medium heat. Add flour and cook 1 – 2 minutes, but do not brown. Add cream, milk, salt, pepper, onion powder and garlic powder
Bring pot to a simmer. Cook until sauce is thick, about 5 – 6 minutes. Blend cheese into sauce and add cooked pasta.
Pour pasta and sauce into a 9-inch square baking dish. Bake for 20 minutes.

In France and England we keep the Camembert until it is very soft. It helps if you have a fridge in the garage though as you don't want it in your kitchen fridge hahaha!ReplyDelete
This looks divine! And Camembert is super cheap here in Europe so even better!ReplyDelete
That's a great compliment when you make something better than the original.ReplyDelete
I love your recipes. This is another that I will have to put in my favorites file and I haven't even tried it yet.ReplyDelete
This sounds soooo good! I'm going to give it a try because I LOVE mac and cheese. Thanks!ReplyDelete
This cheese combination sounds great Steph and I'm not surprised yours was better.ReplyDelete
I've never heard of that cheese either, but judging by your photos, it clearly does something good for mac & cheese! Looks like creamy, dreamy bliss.ReplyDelete
I couldn't find the camembert cheese, so I substituted regular cream cheese. This is my favorite mac & cheese out of several recipes I've tried so far. I'm sure it's even better with the right cheese.ReplyDelete

A Tea Party State of Confusion
If the 50 states were 50 people, and you had to rank them by ideology, then South Carolina—which holds the second Republican presidential primary on January 21—would be the Tea Partier of the group. Forty-six percent of South Carolinians identify as conservative. Republicans hold every statewide elected office and control both the state house and senate. The governor, Nikki Haley, was on the vanguard of the Tea Party in the 2010 congressional elections, and her predecessor—the right-wing libertarian Mark Sanford—was among the five governors to reject stimulus funds in 2009.
The state's congressional delegation is no less conservative. Of its eight members-—two senators and six representatives—only one, Representative James Clyburn, belongs to the Democratic Party. Moreover, the state's junior Republican senator, Jim DeMint, is a right-wing icon. It's not just that he is the most conservative member of the Senate, according to National Journal rankings. His Senate Conservatives Fund, a political action committee (PAC) "dedicated to electing strong conservatives to the United States Senate," raised $9.3 million for the 2010 congressional elections and played a major role in the victories of archconservatives Marco Rubio, Pat Toomey, Rand Paul, Mike Lee, and Ron Johnson.
Neighboring North Carolina and Georgia have moved to the middle over the past several years. Given the extent to which South Carolina experienced the same demographic trends—its black and Latino populations have grown significantly since 2000—the state's enduring conservatism might seem inexplicable. But it's not. "If I had to explain it," says Dan Carter, professor emeritus of history at the University of South Carolina and author of From George Wallace to Newt Gingrich: Race in the Conservative Counterrevolution, 1963–1994, "I'd say it's a kind of tripod of suburbia, God, and history."
South Carolina has a long and idiosyncratic history of reactionary politics. Its four delegates to the Constitutional Convention of 1787 were fierce defenders of slavery and the rights of wealthy landowners. The delegates' contributions to the convention included a fugitive slave law, a proposal to limit the Senate to the independently wealthy, and a promise that the Southern states would reject the Constitution if it didn't endorse slavery. South Carolina would later produce John C. Calhoun—who championed states' rights, nullification, and slaveholding as a "positive good"—and become the birthplace of secession.
This tradition of reactionary conservatism would continue through the 20th century and remain centered on a "preoccupation with the Negro," as the political scientist Vladimir Orlando Key Jr. termed it in his classic 1949 treatise, Southern Politics in State and Nation. "The degree to which the race issue influences political life varies almost directly with the Negro proportion of the population," Key wrote. It wasn't until the 1930s that the population of blacks in the state dipped below 50 percent; today, African Americans account for 27.9 percent of the state's residents.
This legacy resides in the suburbs of South Carolina, where more than a third of the state's population lives. Suburbs exist as something of a haven for white South Carolinians, away from black urban centers and the federal government. "Suburbanization, while we think of it as conservative all over the country, has a particularly intense conservatism in the South," Carter says. "Government itself comes to be seen as the enemy, because it's seen as mainly the benefactor of blacks."
All of this is mixed in with the power and influence of religion in South Carolina. According to the Pew Religious Landscape Survey, 45 percent of South Carolinians belong to the evangelical Protestant tradition. Almost nine in ten claim an "absolutely certain" belief in God, and 31 percent say that their religion is "the one, true faith leading to eternal life." Given the extent to which religious belief is tied to political ideology—more than half of evangelicals say that they are conservative, for example—it's no surprise that South Carolina is a Tea Party state.
With all of this in mind, you could be forgiven for thinking that South Carolina's voters are inclined to support the most reactionary Republicans, especially when the stakes are a presidential nomination. But you would be wrong. In the four presidential cycles where there has been a contested primary in South Carolina—1988, 1996, 2000, and 2008—voters have chosen the establishment candidate who went on to win the nomination: George H.W. Bush, Bob Dole, George W. Bush, and John McCain.
Indeed, since it came of age in the 1960s and 1970s, the South Carolina Republican Party has never had an interest in supporting right-wing candidates. After defecting from the Democratic Party over civil rights, Senator Strom Thurmond argued that the state's whites should direct their political activities toward amassing as much influence as possible in the national GOP. "That notion, that you wanted to have maximum influence on what the national Republicans believed, tended to produce a kind of caution in supporting an insurgent nominee for president," says Lacy Ford Jr., a historian of the South and Southern politics at the University of South Carolina. "A lot of people outside of South Carolina thought that Bob Dole would be vulnerable in 1996 to such a candidate, but that wasn't the case at all—he took out Pat Buchanan decisively by beating him in South Carolina."
That's what likely drove former Utah Governor Jon Huntsman—known for his moderation on climate change and foreign policy—to spend nearly $300,000 on campaign workers and experienced consultants in the state, mimicking the strategy used by John McCain in 2008. Despite this, Huntsman has been consistently last since entering the race, in large part because he underestimated the power of the Tea Party Republicans who are ascendant in South Carolina politics.
They see this contest as an opportunity for finding a more ideological nominee. "I go to a lot of party meetings and party functions, and it seems like voters are looking for people who match up with their values first and can win last," says Edward Cousar, second vice chair to the state GOP and head of the Black Republican PAC, a group devoted to supporting Afri-can American candidates in South Carolina and across the country. Karen Floyd, a former state Republican Party chair, agrees. "I think the grassroots effort is crucial in the state of South Carolina, and I think some consultants can help deliver that, but really, it's all about message. Most people are looking for the person who is most authentic and can help us get out of the situation we're in."
The polls bear this out. According to an October survey commissioned by the South Carolina Federation of Republican Women, 73.6 percent of the state's Republicans think the GOP should nominate a solid conservative on all issues. As if to underscore Cousar's point, Georgia businessman Herman Cain—the candidate with loads of
conservative bona fides
but scant organization and establishment backing-—spent most of November leading in polls of South Carolina Republicans, until his campaign was derailed by allegations of sexual harassment and a long-term affair. "I sense that there's more of a desire to make an ideological statement this year, even if it's a statement that isn't popular with the nation as a whole," Ford says. "It's possible that they don't even realize it's unpopular with the nation as a whole."
But it's been hard for candidates to distinguish themselves as "most conservative." Texas Governor Rick Perry averaged just 6.3 percent support in early December, despite his right-wing credentials and his intense focus in the state—he announced his campaign in Charleston, held ten major events in the fall, announced his flat-tax plan in the state, and has raised more money from South Carolina Republicans than any other candidate.
Likewise, former Senator Rick Santorum has spent the most time campaigning in the state—from the beginning of August to the end of November, he held 35 events—but he's remained in the range of 1 percent to 2 percent since entering the race. At the Palmetto Freedom Forum in September, an event hosted by the American Principles Project, a Tea Party group, Minnesota Congresswoman Michele Bachmann pledged fealty to every plank of the right-wing agenda, from opposition to the Affordable Care Act ("the foundation for socialized medicine") to support for a constitutional amendment outlawing all abortions. This hasn't been enough; in early December, she averaged 4.3 percent support. Put another way, the conservative candidates have given large amounts of time and money to South Carolina Republicans with little effect.
If there's anyone in South Carolina with the power to anoint a conservative candidate, it's Senator DeMint. "This race is very fluid," Cousar says, "but an endorsement from Senator DeMint would put someone over the edge."
But DeMint, who gave Mitt Romney a surprising seal of approval in 2008, doesn't plan to endorse. Absent DeMint's coveted endorsement, it's likely that the right-wing candidates will continue to fight among themselves for the designation of "most conservative."
That gets to the irony of this year's South Carolina primary and of the Republican presidential contest writ large. Republicans want a "true -conservative"—they want someone to oppose "Obama-care," outlaw abortion, cut taxes, slash social spending, balance the budget, and keep undocumented immigrants out of the country. But they don't have one such conservative—they have four, now that Cain is out of the race. That could leave Romney as the last candidate standing. In 2008, he placed fourth with 15.1 percent of the vote in the South Carolina primary. Throughout 2011, he's remained steady with slightly higher support.
If South Carolina conservatives coalesce behind one candidate—most likely Newt Gingrich—they could easily beat Romney. If they don't, there's a good chance that they'll end up in their usual position—providing an unlikely rubber stamp for the Republican establishment.

It isn't "hard to say any of the other" candidates are conservative. I've maintained from the beginning that only 20-25% of primary voters want Mitt. The rest all want 'anybody else', but stubbornly hold to their own "conservative" candidate and denigrate all the others as "not truly conservative. This is the sort of infighting that will give the GOP nod to Mitt Romney, the candidate actually most likely to lose because he will fail to energize the base and, without a strongly motivated base, will fail to garner large support from independents.
By the way, this idea that candidates must appeal to moderates to win an election is pure hokum. It's not that a candidate wins because he takes the middle, it's that the middle waits until the last minute to decide who looks more likely to win (guy with the more energized base) and then they go with him because they want to vote for the winner.

Cloves (Syzygium aromaticum, syn. Eugenia aromaticum or Eugenia caryophyllata) are the aromatic dried flower buds of a tree in the family Myrtaceae. Cloves are native to Indonesia and used as a spice in cuisine all over the world. The name derives from French clou, a nail, as the buds vaguely resemble small irregular nails in shape. Cloves are harvested primarily in Zanzibar, Indonesia and Madagascar; it is also grown in India called Lavang , Pakistan, and Sri Lanka.
The clove tree is an evergreen which grows to a height ranging from 10-20 m, having large oval leaves and crimson flowers in numerous groups of terminal clusters. The flower buds are at first of a pale color and gradually become green, after which they develop into a bright red, when they are ready for collecting. Cloves are harvested when 1.5-2 cm long, and consist of a long calyx, terminating in four spreading sepals, and four unopened petals which form a small ball in the centre.
According to FAO, Indonesia produced almost 80% of the world's clove output in 2005 followed at a distance by Madagascar and Tanzania.
Cloves can be used in cooking either whole or in a ground form, but as they are extremely strong, they are used sparingly. The spice is used throughout Europe and Asia and is smoked in a type of cigarettes locally known as kretek in Indonesia. The largest brand of kreteks in the United States is Djarum, who sells the iconic Djarum Black. Cloves are also an important incense material in Chinese and Japanese culture.
Cloves have historically been used in Indian cuisine (both North Indian and South Indian)as well as Mexican cuisine, where it is often paired together with cumin and cinnamon. In the north Indian cuisine, it is used in almost every sauce or side dish made, mostly ground up along with other spices. They are also a key ingredient in tea along with green cardamoms. In the south Indian cuisine, it finds extensive use in the biryani dish (similar to the pilaf, but with the addition of local spice taste), and is normally added whole to enhance the presentation and flavor of the rice.
In Chinese medicine cloves or ding xiang are considered acrid, warm and aromatic, entering the kidney, spleen and stomach meridians, and are notable in their ability to warm the middle, direct stomach qi downward, to treat hiccough and to fortify the kidney yang. Because the herb is so warming it is contraindicated in any persons with fire symptoms and according to classical sources should not be used for anything except cold from yang deficiency. As such it is used in formulas for impotence or clear vaginal discharge from yang deficiency, for morning sickness together with ginseng and patchouli, or for vomiting and diarrhea due to spleen and stomach coldness. This would translate to hypochlorhydria. Clove oil is used in various skin disorders like acne, pimples etc. It is also used in severe burns, skin irritations and to reduce the sensitiveness of skin.
Ayurvedic herbalist K.P. Khalsa, RH (AHG), uses cloves internally as a tea and topically as an oil for hypotonic muscles, including for multiple sclerosis. This is also found in Tibetan medicine. Ayurvedic herbalist Alan Tilotson, RH (AHG) suggests avoiding more than occasional use of cloves internally in the presence of pitta inflammation such as is found in acute flares of autoimmune diseases.
In West Africa, the Yorubas use cloves infused in water as a treatment for stomach upsets, vomiting and diarrhoea.The infusion is called Ogun Jedi-jedi.
Western studies have supported the use of cloves and clove oil for dental pain, and to a lesser extent for fever reduction, as a mosquito repellent and to prevent premature ejaculation. Clove may reduce blood sugar levels.
Cloves, along with nutmeg and pepper, were highly prized in Roman times, and Pliny the Elder once famously complained that "there is no year in which India does not drain the Roman Empire of fifty million sesterces." Cloves were traded by Arabs during the Middle Ages in the profitable Indian Ocean trade. In the late fifteenth century, Portugal took over the Indian Ocean trade, including cloves, due to the Treaty of Tordesillas with Spain and a separate treaty with the sultan of Ternate. The Portuguese brought large quantities of cloves to Europe, mainly from the Maluku Islands. Clove was then one of the most valuable spices, a kg costing around 7 g of gold.
The trade later became dominated by the Dutch in the seventeenth century. With great difficulty the French succeeded in introducing the clove tree into Mauritius in the year 1770. Subsequently, their cultivation was introduced into Guiana, Brazil, most of the West Indies, and Zanzibar, where the majority of cloves are grown today.
In Britain in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, cloves were worth at least their weight in gold, due to the high price of importing them.
