Sauced: Basil Pesto
When devising a plan for the Sauced column, I really wanted to address the traditional condiments first. Understanding the basics will be beneficial down the road as we build a bigger sauce portfolio. Now three weeks in (here's the ketchup, mustard, and garlic chili oil columns, in case you missed them) all of your suggestions have made it hard to stay the course—I want to try it all now! Alas, I'm coming at you with another classic this week, basil pesto. (Hang tight, SE'rs, I'll get to the rest.)
Pesto is ripe for experimentation but if we're talking traditional, it's going to be basil, pine nuts, garlic, olive oil, and Parmesan combined into a smooth paste. I really wanted to go Grandma-style and make it in a mortar and pestle, but unfortunately don't own one large enough. That led me to the simpler, food processor method.
It's quick work to get all the ingredients chopped and combined into a nutty, herbal paste. This instantly adds so much flavor and beauty to a host of foods including pasta, dips, and meats. Now with that traditional recipe out of the way, what have been your favorite pesto creations? I'm thinking a cilantro for my next version.

Moving on from Doc Rivers
|Posted by shawn cassidy on December 12, 2013 at 5:15 AM
Maybe this was the closure that I needed. I didn't feel hate, or anger towards Doc once the game started Wednesday night. It's not the same feeling when I think of Ray Allen in south beach. Doc Rivers, and the Celtics hit a crossroads, and we had two sides of the story, and to be honest I really don't care anymore. Doc wasn't the right coach for a rebuilding team, and for a young team like this. End of story.
There were many turning points for me Wednesday night. Maybe it was the TD Garden crowd that gave Doc a proper ovation a few times. Doc was visibly genuine when taking in the crowd that was sharing their love for the former head coach.
Maybe it was Doc after the game tearing up, and shedding a few tears for the city of Boston, and the time he spent with the Celtics. I'm over it now, and it was a wonderful night, but damn I wanted that win. I still feel like Rondo a bit when he said he wasn't going to cry over Doc. It was odd though, did anyone see the two hug, or speak before or after the game?
"It was just a really nice day. This is, it's just such a classy place here. It's an amazing fan base. It really is. I was basically useless for the first 18 minutes [of the game]. It doesn't surprise me. You've gotta live here to understand that. That's just the way they are."
Anyways, I've moved on from Doc, and I'm focused on the Celtics future, and the rest of this season. Doc spoke about missing out on two more rings because of the KG injury, and that's something that hurts me still. Doc still seemed very upset about that as well, and that was another moment in which I let go.

The World's First College Information Marketplace Re-Invents Online College Search and Planning; Launches $200K Scholarship Giveaway To Maximize Students' Return On Education™
PORTLAND, Ore., Jan. 23, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Four out of ten recent college graduates would have selected a different college if they had understood the total cost involved, according to new research from EDPlus Holdings, LLC (EDPlus Holdings). This realization is a key reason for the low number of college graduates who say they were satisfied with the online research tools they used in their search, EDPlus Holdings says. To ensure that students are able to quickly and easily find the right school for them, EDPlus Holdings, creator of ScholarshipExperts.com, CampusDiscovery.com and EStudentLoans.com, today launches the most personalized and accurate online college matching platform, +U™.
(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20140123/NY50879LOGO)
This first-of-its-kind "College Information Marketplace," available for free at Plus-U.com, combines students' individualized information–such as personality, financial needs and future goals–with exclusive insights derived from proprietary technology to more accurately match them to a tailored list of higher education institutions. Also, after building a profile on the platform, +U™ members can be matched to a targeted list of jobs based on their profile, skills and preferences.
"Students are inundated with information that does very little to help them make an informed decision about selecting a school that will help them succeed in not only college, but also in life," said Glenn Goad, EDPlus Holdings CEO. "Every student is unique, and matching him or her with their best fit schools is just the beginning of why we developed this new tool. We designed +U™ to improve students' likelihood of program completion, overall satisfaction rates, school loan payback, and job matching after graduation. Through a customized process, +U™ takes the mystery out of difficult decisions for students and, ultimately, maximizes their 'Return on Education™'."
How +U™ Works
From selecting a school and funding their education, to maintaining financial discipline while they build their career, +U™ provides students with a complete College Information Marketplace that offers:
$200,000 National College Scholarship Giveaways
To help students achieve their higher education goals, +U™ will be giving away $200,000 in college scholarships throughout 2014. The first national giveaway, open now through March 31, 2014, will award five $10,000 cash scholarships to be used toward school tuition. Students age 15 and older who are high school students or are currently admitted or enrolled in a U.S. institution of higher education are eligible to enter at Plus-U.com. Entrants are asked to submit a 200-word essay describing their ideal college experience and how it will help their future. Five winners will be selected based on the originality and creativity of their submission.
Adds Brad McMahon, EDPlus Holdings SVP of Product and Business Development: "Students are at the center of everything that we do. Their success is at the core of our mission and the development of the first-ever +U™ College Information Marketplace, which delivers breakthrough value to the market by improving students' graduation outcomes, funding options and loan payback, in addition to setting the stage for individual success post-graduation. Our commitment to improving Return On Education™ will drive us to continue developing innovative digital products, services, and financial solutions that benefit all stakeholders in the market."

Oh !! Quelle prat! Never mind - one to aspire to then.
And so good to be having coffee with you this morning Darling Debs!
Just off for an abnormal breakfast of oatmeal and cottage cheese. Delish! Back later.
Pia x
I have not yet had enough time to look through the new site much, but will do so next week as I will be on vacation for around 10 days. Will have to see what is up then.
How you all doing? Hope things are well with everyone. Shoutout to my girls Legs, DebbieMO, Debs, Patti, Darcy, Roswitha (have not yet seen her around). Kick it hard girls.
OK - so I am really tired right now. Middle of WK11 and working HARD. Will keep the food clean throughout my birthday weekend coming up and celebrate BFL style. I will certainly not mess up my results for something as silly as my birthday hehe. Lucky I will enjoy some vacation time when this challenge is over. Can't wait.
Kick those workouts girls - Whoop Whoop.
I know you are giving it your all lady - and LOVE your attitude about your birthday on the 26th! You're a LEGEND!!! LOVE YA!
Morning Liesl - keep on going - your pics show your progress. Happy BFL birthday wishes!
Good Morning Crew
Have a fabulous day mate!
Coffee is a brewin' my Friends!! Up and at 'em! Kick it hard today! Maybe my caffeine will get rid of this migraine!! Ugghh!
Anyways, where is everyone else?? Hopefully working their arses off before checking in! Can't wait til Monday where I can start working mine off(literally) again! Haha! Have a great one, folks!
DebMO :0) Blessed to be a Blessing...
I'm sitting here trying to think of an inspiring signature.......maybe one will come.
I'm thinking of Legs and Scott - wakey wakey guys - I'm gonna go for 4 litres today too. Gonna do that thing that BFLMike advised about more water on the last Wednesday and Thurday and then a bit less on the last Friday. So I'm coming swimming with you today!!
Thanks to all of you for still being here
Pia xx
HELLLOOOO my wonderful GB friends! Coffee in hand and your spirits on my head! Lets make this anothe great BFL day together!
Legsy! Great to see you my friend! All is well here!
Pia - CHUGGA CHUGGA Girl - get that water down!
Couldn't leave without saying Good Mornin' Legs!!!!!!! Glad our spirits are in your head! Now get out there and have yourself a great day!! :)
Debs-got your message, just couldn't respond to it from my iPod touch-weird! Later all!
RIght on Debs. I see Sharon and Patti crossed over! Woo Hoo! I have another busy day at work - BOO! I hate it when it interferes with BFL. LOL. But I will try to read back at noon. I hope you adjusted those sails of yours. :0)
Pia- come swim. Its not that bad once you get into a routine. Make sure you spread it out though. Your body can only use I think 16oz and hour. Even if your urine is clear, it doesnt mean you are hydrated. You can also get all funky and out of electrolyte balance if you drink too fast. PACE IT OUT GIRL! It takes me from 5am til 4pm to drink my 4.4L, probably 4 cups of coffee, 3 tall glasses of Betegan and maybe 2 cups of tea. OOoo that sounds alot.
So it is blizzarding here. Cars are covered in snow. WHAT IS HAPPENING TO MY SPRING!! Cant bike again to work.
DebbiMO: hands in the air, spirits in my head - not in the glass. LOL.
Coming up 3 weeks+ with no wine. He he he. Thanks for the inspiration jimmieb and Scott! It feels wicked awesome. :)
Thanks for the water-drinking advice Legsy - I'll slow it down!
I only have coffee on my cardio days. I gave up the 2-3 lattes a day at the start of my challenge.
I have a double espresso as I walk into the gym. I smash through cardio and then fly for the rest of the day. That was another BFLMike pearl of wisom - caffiene. May use it for all work outs for C2 instead of Betagen.
Thanks again

Gift Ideas
Gift Finder
Most of us secretly look forward to our annual stock up of underwear, socks and bath paraphernalia. It saves us the hassle of stocking up ourselves and it means we get to spend any vouchers we receive on the exciting stuff! However, sometimes it is fun to receive something a little peculiar, especially if it comes as a surprise. Why not catch someone off guard this Christmas and save them the 'no I really did need the socks, thank you' expression and let them enjoy a moment of sheer bewilderment and joy with an unusual gift. Perhaps you are looking for some extra stocking fillers? Or some gifts for men when they already have everything? Or just know someone who is, well, a little unusual?

For his newest paintings, Joshua Hagler appropriates stills from the 1995 black-and-white western film Dead Man. Hagler's references to the film serve as departure points into more abstract visual fields and meditations on the spiritual condition of the "colonist." In this new work Hagler willfully embodies an American stereotype voluntarily taking on a posture of guilt and confusion as a product of colonialism and western expansion.
The most obvious shift in Hagler's work from previous exhibitions is the move into greater abstraction, obscuring subject matter, at times, to the point of non-representation so that something unexpected might be brought to the fore.
Maja Ruznic's new, larger paintings possess the same psychological intimacy and phantasmagoric quality as her earlier works, only this time, Ruznic has embedded her figures into predominantly dark backgrounds and allowed them to appear stain-like, emerging from the darkness. Ruznic draws from her experience of making art with Syrian refugees with her partner and collaborator Joshua Hagler, as well as from her own experiences growing up as a child refugee.
Her paintings evoke feelings of discomfort, displacement, and abandonment. The works on paper are sketch-like and complete at once, and evoke the feeling of having woken from dream, recalling a few, small details while the rest recedes into obscurity.
Work from "Drift" will also be on view during the exhibition and the 136-page hardbound limited edition, out in June, will be available for pre-order at Jack FischerJack Fischer Gallery Presents A Collaborative Exhibition By Josh Hagler & Maja Ruznic May 3rd - May 31st, 2014 Jack Fischer Gallery 311 Potrero Ave, San Francisco, CA Phone: (415) 956-1178 http://www.jackfischergallery.com/ http://www.emptykingdom.com/featured/joshua-hagler-interview/ http://www.emptykingdom.com/featured/joshua-hagler/ http://www.jackfischergallery.com/ http://www.ontheedgeofreason.com/ http://www.joshuahagler.com/

Is Overreliance on Government Changing America for the Worse?
As we rely increasing on the institutions of government are we sacrificing something within ourselves that is much more important?
With the presidential inauguration just a few days away, famous phrases from past addresses cannot help but come to mind.
In trying to select the best known there are many from which to choose. My bloleague Robert Schlesinger—probably the nation's foremost authority on inaugural addresses—may disagree with me on this point but I think it's Franklin Delano Roosevelt's 1993 reassurance that "we have nothing to fear but fear itself."
Spoken at a time when the Great Depression had not yet reached its nadir, Roosevelt was trying—in one extremely well-turned out phrase—to restore confidence to the nation, in its government if not in its economy. Nearly a century later, it may be time for a refresher course in what makes American great.
[See a Slideshow of The Five Most Memorable Inaugural Addresses.]
It is highly possible, and there are those like Dr. Charles Krauthammer who are probably better suited to comment on this than I, that the nation is consumed by fear. Not of nuclear weapons or terrorist attacks but that out our economic lifeblood is being drained from us and that there only alone darker days ahead.
As a consequence of decades of deficit spending, the explosion in nation indebtedness, and in particular the anemic, jobless recovery over which Barack Obama has presided these last four years, people are less confident—and there is plenty of polling data to back this up—that their children and grandchildren will have better, more prosperous lives than they themselves have enjoyed.
Can it actually be that "The Greatest Generation" passed the reins of stewardship on to the "Baby Boomers" only to have them mess things up to the point that, when combined with the efforts of the "Gen Xers," things have gone past some kind of point of no return?
[See a collection of political cartoons on the budget and deficit.]
Does this nameless, senseless fear account for the increase in government dependency we have witnessed over the last several decades, with too many people now comfortable in their reliance on welfare, extended unemployment benefits, heating subsidies, food stamps, even phones provided by the government? Have we passed the point where people would rather starve than take charity, once considered oddly noble in a very tough world, to reach a point where our self-reliance, as Emerson called it, has been replaced by a reliance on government?
There are a lot of studies and theories, beginning with psychologist Abraham Maslow's famous "Hierarchy of Needs," that can be applied to the current state of American affairs. As a culture, as a civilization, are the needs identified by Maslow being met and, if they are who or what is meeting them? Are we doing it ourselves or are we looking to government to be the primary provider of food, clothing, and shelter? Where do we go to find "self-actualization" and "esteem"? Does it come from within or from without?
These are pretty weighty questions to which, I will admit, I have no answers. It does however cast the effectiveness of the attacks on Mitt Romney's "47 percent" comments in a new light. Indeed it offers a whole new perspective on the recently concluded presidential campaign, which often seemed to pit the fearful against the confident, the hopeless and against the hopeful, and the self-indulgent against the self-reliant.
[See a collection of political cartoons on the Democratic Party.]
Has fear of the future become so strong that it is changing our national character? One would hope the answer is "no" but can anyone really be assured of that? As we rely increasingly on the institutions of government to redistribute income and property and to act as though it has planned for any contingency are we sacrificing something within ourselves that is much more important, much more vital? Is opportunity really worth sacrificing on the altar of security?
Only time will tell. It may be that this is somehow the central political divide in America today. That the people are split, unequally, between those who look to Washington for answers and those who look to themselves. If that is the case then the need for answers becomes all the more urgent while basis for finding common ground becomes harder to identify.

BWW Reviews: THE LION KING Roars Into Austin
When it comes to national tours of successful Broadway musicals, there seems to be an unfortunate trend. The longer the tour runs, the more the cracks begin to show. Sets and costumes get scaled down, the quality of the cast diminishes as does the cast size, and the show itself becomes far less enjoyable. If you're not sure what I'm talking about, I'm guessing you didn't see the road shows of RENT or The Phantom of the Opera about five years into their tours.
The Lion King has miraculously bypassed much of this dismal circle of life, despite the fact that it has now traversed the country for over a decade. Though there have been a few modifications to the tour over the last few years (the set design is slightly simpler and some moments have been cut for time) The Lion King is still majestic, astonishing, thrilling, and thoroughly entertaining.
While the coming of age story of a young lion destined to be king may be incredibly simple (made even simpler by the lackluster book by Roger Allers and Irene Mecchi, one of the show's few weak points), the way the story is told is remarkable. The songs by Elton John, Tim Rice, Lebo M., Mark Mancina, Jay Rifkin, Julie Taymor, and Hans Zimmer range from the jazzy earworms and beautiful ballads of the original film to intricate African chants, all of which move the story along. While you may not leave the theater humming any of the tunes written specifically for the stage version, the way the music is incorporated into the visual storytelling is flawless.
Of course, it is the visual storytelling that is the most memorable. Under the elaborate and extraordinary vision of Tony Award winning director Julie Taymor, the show is incredibly colorful and eye-catching. As a side note, I must say that it's a shame her work on Spider Man: Turn Off the Dark is the career-ending stuff that injuries and lawsuits are made out of. I would love to see Julie Taymor return to Broadway with yet another musical hit. She is a true artist and visionary, and her talent must be shared with the world.
But back to The Lion King, the work of Ms. Taymor and her creative team is definitely the largest draw for the show. Their work turns the quaint Disney film into a cultural experience enriched by various art forms ranging from African dance, tribal rhythms, Chinese martial arts, and Indonesian puppetry. The set by Richard Hudson is fantastic, the lighting by Donald Holder is beautiful, and the costumes, masks, and puppets by Julie Taymor and Michael Curry are absolutely breathtaking. Rounding out the creative team is the severely underrated work of Tony winning choreographer Garth Fagan whose choreography is athletic, difficult, and elaborate. The only visual more dazzling than the collective work of the design team is the look of wonder and amazement that you'll see on the faces in the audience, particularly the little ones.
Still, as great as a show can be visually, it needs a strong cast to make it work. Without a talented company of actors, The Lion King can easily become a "highfalutin puppet show" as Gerard Alessandrini called it in his Forbidden Broadway revue. Thankfully, the national tour cast provides the show with emotion, power, and heart. This 50 person cast is the cream of the crop, and the large ensemble clearly has fun with the material. Of the supporting actors and leads, your children will probably respond most positively to the comedic and often slapsticky antics of the wildly talented Mark David Kaplan as Zazu, Rashada Dawan, Keith Bennett, and Robbie Swift as the trio of wicked hyenas, and Nick Cordileone and Ben Lipitz as the wisecracking Timon and Pumbaa.

The Official Home of University of Illinois Athletics
Michael Kosta will be join host Regis Philbin and four other personalties on the new Fox Sports 1 show Crowd Goes Wild
Aug 19, 2013
CHAMPAIGN, Ill. - Former Illinois men's tennis player turned comedian and T.V. personality Michael Kosta is set to debut on Fox Sports 1's new original sports discussion show Crowd Goes Wild later today. The interactive new show airs weekdays from 4:00-5:00 p.m. CT and will be hosted by Regis Philbin. Other on-air personalties include Wall Street Journal sports columnist Jason Gay, two-time Super Bowl champion Trevor Pryce, Sky Sports news anchor Georgie Thompson and of Guyism.com/youtube fame Katie Nolan.
Kosta played at the University of Illinois from 1998-2002 and was a three-time Big Ten Tournament champion. He accumulated 89 career singles victories with a 30-3 Big Ten record in his four year span in the Orange and Blue.
After trading his racket for a microphone, Kosta'a accolades include appearances on The Tonight Show and Conan, and even performed in his own stand-up special on Comedy Central. Most recently, Kosta returned home to be the special guest speaker for the NCAA Tennis banquet hosted at Memorial Stadium.
"There are sports news shows, debate shows and shows that present a single point-of-view, but Crowd Goes Wild is aiming for a fresh approach," said Executive Producer Michael Davies. "Crowd Goes Wild is going to live in the moment, presenting multiple point of views, with the conversation often influenced by the audience through social interaction. Regis, Jason, Michael, Trevor, Georgie and Katie will embrace the freedom and spontaneity this free-flowing, less staid, format offers and I have no doubt fans will too."

An American Novel
This time i want to introduce a game made after a novel written in 1925 by Francis Scott Fitzgerald.
The Novel pulls us to the Year 1920, where a young millioniare and businessman,
called Jay Gatsby regulary does dance parties at his House in Long Island
for the New Yorker Society.
All what Jay wants is though the Love of his Life back, called Daisy.
Though while Jay fought in First World War in France, Daisy married Tom Buchanan, another Millionaire and Ex – Football Player..
The Story is being told in the perspective of Nick Carraway (a Cousin of Daisy) who moves into the House of Gatsby..and so is the Gameplay of The Great Gatsby.
In our first Mission, Nick has to find Gatsby in the Garden behind the House, on our way we can collect coins and need to make sure not to bump into a waiter or being hit by a bottle of of one of the drunken party guests.
The Graphics are very neatly drawn and the Music fits well to the atmosphere of the game.
Originally the Game was developed for NES and was called "Doki Doki Toshokan: Gatsby no Monogatari" and the Cartdridge was bought at a Yard Sale for 50 Cent by one of the guys who did the remake.
They still search for more Info on this rare Game, so feel free not only to play it but
also send them infos about it.
Thanks again to Yar Telling, friend of mine and resident in Second Life
who poked me to do a post about it

675 15TH St NW, Washington, DC | Directions 2000538.898038 -77.033422
Mon-Fri 7:30am-1am; Sat-Sun 8:30am-1am
Neighborhoods: Washington Mall, Northwest, Northwest Washington
Great seafood & less expensive than you think – I love this place for the bar scene & the restaurant. It has great seafood and the entrees are reasonably priced, most under $20 - even the crab cakes.
At the bar, they have lots of beer & wine options and you can order from the bar menu, which has fantastic crab dip, empanadas, and fresh oysters on the half shell. During happy hour, their oysters are half price, and late in the evening.
LOVE LOVE LOVE the food... so yummy & I am picky!
Citysearch Editorial Review – Founded in 1856, Old Ebbitt Grill is D.C.'s oldest and most historic saloon. Just steps away from the White House, this all-American restaurant--rumored to have once been a boarding house, though the exact original location is disputed--serves traditional American fare with a strong emphasis on fresh seafood and seasonal ingredients. Open seven days a week, the restaurant is popular among both locals and tourists. Old Ebbitt Grill also features four full-service bars serving an impressive selection of craft cocktails and world wines by the glass. This favorite dining destination of former presidents such as McKinley, Grant, Harding and Theodore Roosevelt, has charming Victorian decor, with velvety, emerald-colored booths and transports guests to historic Washington at its finest.
Great Roof Bar – I went for a charity function on the roof. The roof was great but afterwards I ate dinner and was seated in the atrium, i would recommend sitting in the restaurant.
Classic – I live in Los Angeles and visit DC every other year or so. No matter what, my trip has to include three things, Visit to the Mall and Museums, Stroll through Union Station, and a meal at Old Ebbits.
The best crab cakes ever. Make a reservation because they're always busy. But even if i had to wait an hour, it would be worth it.
Wide variety of customers. Politicians, Tourists, Locals, all crowd in the bar and front lobby for a drink and to wait for a table.
I never miss it.
Great Place! Best value for $$$ – Food and service is wonderful! Must get reservations!

Insurance is getting more and more expensive in the UK. The bikes are getting faster and faster, parts are expensive and the plastic bodywork particularly is astronomically priced. This partly explains who so many get nicked and broken down for spares. Finally, people keep falling off them. That's what the insurers tell us anyway. Try the people on the right for a quote...
I've just used eBike myself and saved over Ł100 on my motorcycle policy, and it includes free legal fees, UK breakdown cover, and free "Green Card" for use abroad.
The photos (click them) were both real incidents, but neither resulted in an insurance claim. Sometimes it's better to just fix it yourself.
Many people ask me if it's possible to either bring their own bike out here and insure it in the UK, OR come over here and buy their own bike to tour around on. No UK insurer I've spoken to has been willing to offer insurance to overseas visitors here, unless they have permanent residency - in reality a fixed address for at least 6 months.
UPDATE - Ebike will accept UK and EU licences.
US citizens - try these people www.motorcycleexpress.com They ship bikes from the USA & Canada to Europe (AND VICE VERSA) and apparently offer insurance in all areas.

Von Hippel-Lindau disease
| Von Hippel-Lindau disease
|ped/2417 oph/354
Von Hippel-Lindau disease (VHL) is a rare inherited genetic condition involving the abnormal growth of tumors in parts of the body which are particularly rich in blood supply.
Features of VHL are:
- angiomatosis - little knots of capillaries in the retina and various organs.
- hemangioblastomas - tumors of the central nervous system (CNS, especially the cerebellum, brain stem, and spinal cord).
- pheochromocytoma - tumors of the adrenal medulla that often produce catecholamines
- renal cell carcinoma - in some forms
- pancreas - cysts and tumors of the pancreas, which may be neuroendocrine tumors
Untreated, VHL may result in blindness and permanent brain damage; death is usually caused by complications of malignant tumors in the brain or kidney, cardiovascular disease secondary to pheochromocytoma. With early detection and appropriate treatment, there is more hope today for people with VHL than ever before.
There are various subtypes:
- Type 1 (angiomatosis without pheochromocytoma)
- Type 2 (angiomatosis with pheochromocytoma)
- Type 2A (with renal cell carcinoma)
- Type 2B (without renal cell carcinoma)
- Type 2C (only pheochromocytoma and no angiomatosis or renal cell carcinoma)
The disease is caused by mutations of the Von Hippel-Lindau tumor suppressor (VHL) gene on the short arm of third chromosome.
VHL is an autosomal dominant disorder, but there is a wide variation in the age of onset of the disease, the organ system affected and the severity of effect. Most people with von Hippel-Lindau syndrome inherit an altered copy of the gene from one parent. In about 20 percent of cases, however, the altered gene is the result of a new mutation that occurred during the formation of reproductive cells (eggs or sperm) or early in fetal development.
As long as one copy of the VHL gene is producing functional VHL protein in each cell, tumors do not form. If a mutation occurs in the second copy of the VHL gene during a person's lifetime, the cell will have no working copies of the gene and will produce no functional VHL protein. A lack of this protein allows tumors characteristic of von Hippel-Lindau syndrome to develop.
Eugen von Hippel described the angiomas in the eye in 1904.[1]. Arvid Lindau described the angiomas of the cerebellum and spine in 1927.[2]
In an article appearing in the Associated Press, it has been speculated by a Vanderbilt University endocrinologist that the hostility underlying the Hatfield-McCoy feud may have been partly due to the consequences of Von Hippel-Landau disease. The article suggests that the McCoy family was pre-disposed to bad tempers because many of them had a pheochomocytoma, which produced excess adrenaline and a tendency toward explosive tempers.[3] Pheochromocytomas produce surges of adrenaline which are more often perceived as panic attacks than rage attacks. Left untreated, they will cause serious cardiovascular disease, heart attack, and stroke. Only about 20% of people with VHL get pheochromocytomas.[4]
Other names are: angiomatosis retinae, angiophakomatosis retinae et cerebelli, familial cerebello-retinal angiomatosis, cerebelloretinal hemangioblastomatosis, Hippel Disease, Hippel-Lindau syndrome, HLS, Lindau disease or retinocerebellar angiomatosis.

Okay guys, the long requested unlockables list is up. Scroll down a bit to learn how.
Wow! Front page! You guys are awesome. Thank you goes to out to everyone on Newgrounds who helped push this on to the front page! (To be honest, this made my day!!)
Hmm, daily third. Cool! This is really my first serious submission to Newgrounds so I guess I should take that as an honor. Thanks guys!!
Also, could you please reccomend this for the Naruto collection? That would great. Thanks!!! :D
Okay, I think it's been long enough since I released the game to tell people about the unlockables.
There are three hidden characters, whom of which I tease you with when you start the stage mode. They are Kyuubi Naruto, Kakashi, and Orochimaru. Each of them is only unlocked in single player on any difficulty.
Kyuubi Naruto- Play as Naruto and transform into Kyuubi using Up + Special. Do this five times to unlock him as a character.
Kakashi- Play as the original team 7. Naruto, Sasuke, and Sakura, beating them game once with each of them.
Orochimaru- Play as all 5 starting characters twice each. Naruto x2, Sasuke x2, Sakura x2, Rock Lee x2, and Neji x2.
Extreme Mode- Beat the game on all other difficulties at least once.
Have fun!
Hey Newgrounders! This is Cha0tic221 with my first game submission to Newgrounds. Yes, it is Naruto so if that bothers you.... too bad. Been working on this game for well over a year off and on because of certain things. But yeah, the epicness has finally hit the public.
There are LOADS of secrets and little surprises in this game. After some time I'll tell you how to get them all.
Also, don't worry the game saves on its own.
K, now for some low down on the game:
I will say this and cannot stress it enough: SET UP YOUR OWN CONTROLS. Just tap the button you want to corrospond to the displayed control and it will take care of the rest. You can do this in the options tab or on the preloader by scrolling through the messages.
Up/Down/Left/Right for movement
Normal means your normal atack
Special means your special attack
Guard means.... guard..... n stuff
(Guard and a directional button to dodge that way, can only dodge backwards)
(Guard when about to hit the ground to bounce up taking less time to get back in the action)
There are 8 characters total, you start with 5, meaning 3 secret characters, hooray for math. Along with some other secrets I'll be telling in a week I'll include how to unlock them. Each character has their own unique moveset. Some combinations that work for one character may not work for another.
There are roughly 10 songs in this game. 6 random for the battles, menu music, and one hidden song you can find.
Remember now, pay attention in the tutorial so you don't get confused.

Travel >Hotel Monteleone
214 Royal St, New Orleans, LA | Directions 7013029.954353 -90.067992
Hours of Operation Mon ? Sat: 9:00am ? 8:00pm Sun: 9:00am ? 4:00pm
Neighborhoods: French Quarter - CBD, French Quarter
Our Favorite New Orleans Hotel – The best location in New Orleans! The service is great and we thought the restaurants were delicious. Also, we always enjoy the Carousel Bar...very unique and fun!
Great Hotel BUT... – It's a great hotel but if any of you are looking to save some $$ then book it at referer.us/8/GoodHotelDeals They usually have some pretty good deals on there!
Beautiful rooms, wonderful location, friendly and warm service – My husband and I recently stayed at Hotel Monteleone and had a wonderful visit. The front desk staff was friendly and accomodating to our needs. Our room was lovely. It not only had the basics (clean, fragrant, beautiful views of the city, well furnished, etc) but the bathroom was the best feature! It was marble, with a separate shower stall and a large tub for two, with jets along the side of the bath tub. The bathrobes and towels were plush and high quality and the sheets must have been north of 500 thread count. We ordered room service one morning, and it was delivered on time with food that was both delicious and hot. We would go back in a heartbeat. We truly enjoyed our experience at the Hotel Monteleone!
Classic New Orleans Hotel Is The Best! Outstanding, Friendly Staff! Famous Carousel Bar! – The Monteleone, is the only place we stay, when we visit the Big Easy. And they were up and running shortly after Katrina, with a limited staff. Our last visit, was like going to a good friends house for the weekend. Some college kids were kind of noisy one night, and I mentioned it to the front desk, and we were moved and upgraded at no extra charge. And the renovated rooms are lovely. Mornings always stared in the LeCafe for breakfast. That staff, was so friendly, it was like having coffee with your best friend in the morning. And after a day/night of drinking/eating, coming back to the hotel, it was always a night cap at the legendary Carousel Bar. It's on Royal St. with all those wonderful antique/galleries, and one block away from Bourbon St. and the noise. This is our New Orleans home. Five Stars!
Stately French Quarter retreat is a favorite of lovers and world leaders. – In Short
A landmark since 1886, the Monteleone is the largest and oldest hotel in the French Quarter. Its extravagant lobby and elegant appointments have made it the choice of many world-famous travelers, including Tennessee Williams, William Faulkner, Truman Capote, foreign dignitaries and royalty. Every guestroom is a first-class suite, and a rooftop pool and fitness center offer views of the Quarter and Mississippi River. Its famous Carousel Bar also is a favorite for romance-minded locals and visitors.
Location, Location, Location – If you're looking for a wonderful hotel in the French Quarter (close to everything!) without the noise of Bourbon St. - this is it!! My husband and I try to stay here whenever we're in New Orleans. The carousel bar is wonderful as is the staff (particularly the concierge)!
In the heart of N'awlins – My wife and I visited New Orleans pre-Katrina at the end of November 2005. It's located right at the edge of the French Quarter. It was perfectly situated for exploring the city. We loved being able to walk home at night from all the restaurants and hot spots. The Hotel is only a block off of Bourbon Street.
The Hotel is furnished very nicely. You don't feel as if youre in the typical bland hotel room. It's also large enough so you don't feel as if your being scrutinized either.
The topper to all of this was their Carousel bar in the Hotel Lobby. It was nice to come back and have a nightcap in this one of a kind gem (Don't worry. The bar doesn't rotate so fast that you get dizzy).
Katrina can't keep us away for aniversary 31 – 31 years ago I spent my first night in New Orleans at the Monteleone. I loved it. My husband and I have spent several aniversaries at the hotel. We had debated on coming because of Katrina, but when we got the nice email from the manager thank us for planning our trip with them, we where very happy we did. This hotel is beutiful. The people are great. Especial, Eddie at the Carousel Bar. He makes us feel special. The hotel is centrally located. Rooms are small but very comfortable. Information lady seems note as friendly as the rest of the staff. We will always stay at this hotel.
A fun place a bit off Bourbon St – I was here just before Fat Tuesday. The food was Great. Our waitress was very friendly and knowledgeable The Carousel Bar is something to experience. The room was very nice(what I saw of it) It is a thing you want to do to have that "Mardi Gras feeling. Loets of people having fun. The only bad thing was some of the elevators were shut down, but I am sure that is long since fixed. Hope you have fun.
thanks for the memories – this is NEW ORLEANS - the conventions - the parades - the people - the location - the bar -
I LOVE this place - wouldn't consider staying anywhere else when in NO - who cares if the rooms are small, why are you in your room when so much is happening?

Or at the very least put them in a tent. The heat was brutal during their set in 2011.
The rain seemed to get heavier as the song got heavier.
During the last verse, the sound guys cut off the mics because Dylan was standing in water and getting shocked... the entire crowd was screaming "I THOUGHT. I WOULD. BE MORE. THAN THIS." and finished the song.
Best Cloud Nothings set closer ever.

I wanted to demonstrate the difference between 3D depth in movies vs. 3D fully lifelike 3D depth seen in games. I also wanted to show how 3D's immersive characteristic has potential for practical use by mainstream users and I finally figured out a reasonable way to do it: by using a realistic looking PC game. Having played games using realistic 3D, i think it can be along to a wide variety of, perhaps, non-casual viewings, like when your going to sit down and watch a show on PBS for a solid hour. To get right into it... i mentioned elsewhere that i watched a show on cathedrals that you can watch here if you want.
That show and another show on medieval arches i remember, both featured very nice interior shots in HD. If you've ever walked into a large church or stadium and looked up and went "wow", then you might surprised what full 3D can do to more mainstream TV shows. Below is a video of an old church, taken within one of the most realistic looking games yet, called Metro 2033, to give an idea of the practical benefit and potential of 3D use.
To see it correctly, you'll have to get close enough to the TV to give yourself about a 75 degree field of view. So with a 46" TV, you'd be about a meter from the TV.
EDIT: Iv'e changed all the videos to this one, which has a wide variety of scenery to demonstrate how movies would benefit.
Examples of other content that could benefit from full 3D are shows on cave systems/, scuba diving/sea life, cellular structures, statues, ancient structures, air-craft carriers, flying, climbing, auto/motorbike racing, stunt riding, surfing, etc, etc. There another video with some action too if interested and i'll be uploading more at some point.
To see it, you'll need an internet connection on your 3DTV or load the video onto a usb disk and insert it into the TV. Make sure you have a usb port first. You may also want to turn the TV on and put on motion interpolation or something to warm it up, which should reduce crosstalk.
Unfortunately the detail loss in the youtube video greatly reduces the tangible feeling that HD + 3D has. The original videos were 2GB, compressed, then compressed down to 600mb, then compressed [and annihilated] by youtube.

But (a voice) cried to her from beneath the (palm tree): "Grieve not! For thy Lord has provided a rivulet beneath you; And shake towards you the trunk of the palm tree; it will let fall fresh ripe dates upon you. So eat and drink and cool (your) eye. And if you see any man, say, 'I have vowed a fast to (ALLAH) Most Gracious, and this day will I enter into no talk with any human being'". (Maryam: 23-26)
This gives a glimpse into the benefits of the date palm. It gave a resting place to Maryam, alaihas salaam, a woman experiencing the pain of childbirth and in anguish over delivering a baby out of wedlock. It also provided her food for nourishment and sustenance during childbirth. ALLAH, Subhanahu wa ta'ala, could have provided her with any choice of food and yet, HE chose the date as the proper food for a woman in labor.
Even the Pharaohs recognized the value of dates and they etched drawings of dates on the walls of their temples.
There are over 4000 varieties of dates in the world. Dates require a warm, moist climate to grow and the hotter, the better. They grow in many regions of the world, from Malaysia to India, to the Middle East and North Africa and the warm regions of North America.
There are male and female date palms and fertilization must occur for dates to be formed. Female flowers produce the fruit and male flowers produce the pollen. A healthy male palm tree can pollinate fifty female palm trees.
Whenever a date seed is being planted, a new kind of date is originated. For the same variety of dates, an offshoot must be planted. The offshoots develop produces near the base of the palm. It usually takes 5 to 10 years for an offshoot to develop a root system. When it takes root, it is safe to remove it and plant it elsewhere. After relocation, it takes another 10 or so to mature and fully bear fruits.
Each variety of dates has a distinctive taste and texture. Some dates are soft and contain lots of moisture while others are dry with little moisture. Most contain a large amount of sugar, which is 100% soluble. Dates also contain fiber, vitamins, hormones, minerals and enzymes. Dates are a complete food and one can sustain themselves on dates alone. In fact, many civilizations have done just that. We know that the main staple of the Muslims in the early days was a diet of dates. To this day, there are farmers and other Arabs whose main source of nutrition and sustenance are dates.
Modern science has confirmed a number of facts about dates:
Dates can be eaten raw, used in cooking, or in various products, including confectionery, bakery, cereals, and sauces. While alcohol can be produced from dates, this is against Islamic guidance and most medical advice.
In fact, there are at least three stages when dates can be eaten. The first stage is when they are still yellow and somewhat raw. At that stage they are form a perhaps a little tart. The next stage is when they begin to ripen and become softer with dark spots. This is the stage when Maryam, alaihas salaam, ate the dates during childbirth. The final stage is when they have ripened and are their final color. They have dried out some and become shriveled up. This is the most familiar stage of dates.
There are a may Ahadith about dates. To quote a few:
Ibn Umar, radiya ALLAHu anhuma, (may ALLAH be pleased with them) narrates that the Prophet, salla ALLAHu alaihi wa sallam, asked: There is a tree whose leaves do not shed and it is similar to a Muslim, so tell me about it. We were silent and I thought it was the date palm but I was to shy too speak, so we said, Tell us what it is. He, salla ALLAHu alaihi wa sallam, said: It is the date palm. (Reported by Al-Bukhari)
Sa'd, radiya ALLAHu anhu, narrates that the Prophet, salla ALLAHu alaihi wa sallam, said: Whoever awakens to eat 7 dates of the 'Ajwa variety, will not be harmed by poison or black magic. (Reported by Al-Bukhari)
'Aisha, radiya ALLAHu anha, narrated that the Prophet, salla ALLAHu alaihi wa sallam, said: A household with dates will never go hungry. (Reported by Ad-Darimi)
In other Ahadith we learn that the Prophet, salla ALLAHu alaihi wa sallam, recommended those who are fasting to break their fast, at sunset, by eating an uneven number of dates. If they have none, they should drink water and in some narrations milk.
It seems you cannot go wrong with dates, so start your day with 1, 3, 5 or 7 pieces of dates and see what a difference it will make.
Ingredients: 5 dates
Split, remove seed and eat, chewing slowly. Enjoy it!

Youth Poetry
To encourage poetry writing among our state's youth, the Laureate's website highlights noteworthy poems written by those age eighteen and under. My goal is to demonstrate that poetry is an art form hospitable to the young. It answers their need to reflect on life's experiences and gives meaning and order to these events. Doing so, young people discover not only the language to express their thoughts and emotions but also the pleasures of language itself.
Writing a poem, then, becomes a means for the young to learn equally notions of selfhood and modes of language that express and thus define them. As added benefit, we adults are privy to what the young have to say and how they say it. We thereby deepen our understanding of the range of challenges children face in the contemporary world.
For those interested in ways to encourage youth writing and reading, here's a link offering numerous useful ideas: http://www.textmessagecodes.net/resource-guide-young-readers-writers.html

Animals Fill the Screen this Sunday, Feb. 17
RIDGWAY – The movie matinee is back.
Ridgway's Sherbino Theater is inaugurating a movie series called Sherbino Sundays, beginning Sunday,Feb. 17, with free films for all ages.
Sherbino film committee member Ellen Shelton hopes the 3-4:30 p.m. time slot on Sundays will be a good one: "We hope not to compete with kids' sports or school or other family obligations and activities," she said.
Sherbino Sundays will plug in all kinds of films – from Mountainfilm documentaries to films from the archives of the Telluride Film Festival, and from other sources, Shelton said.
And while these shows will be occasional – not every week – the Sherbino programmers hope that with time, and this new name and time slot, they can start to build an audience for great movies.
First up this Sunday will be the Mountainfilm favorite Doolittle Does Something, directed by Telluride filmmaker Gus Guscoria. It's a charming and humorous documentary about the Rocky Mountain Ark Wildlife Center. For 25 years Lissa Margetts ran the "Ark" on a mesa near Telluride, sharing her care and love for rescued wild animals with thousands of young visitors. Although the Ark closed its doors a few years ago, it will long be remembered because of this lovely film. It will not spoil things for anyone to suggest that viewers look for the mountain lion licking an ice cream cone.
Also on the bill is Moongirl, directed by Henry Selik, the Oscar-nominated director of Coraline and James and the Giant Peach. It's a thoughtful and enchanting piece of animation about a boy and his pet squirrel who are spirited away to meet the girl of the moon.
In keeping with an "animal rescue" theme this Sunday, Kelly Goodin, executive director of Second Chance Humane Society, will be on hand to talk about the work her group is doing with animals in Ridgway.
A few more shorts from the Mountainfilm archives will add sports and travel to the mix.
For more information, go to facebook.com/sherbinotheater or call 970/201-8570.

Problems that require resolution from a Halachic perspective are not infrequent, and there is certainly no dearth of dilemmas that should be addressed from a psychological standpoint. However, many problems involve both and, although much has been written on psychologic-halachic issues, there has been little, if any, example of practical application.
Rabbi Abraham J. Twerski, M.D., an eminent psychiatrist who is well versed in halachah, has broad experience in both realms, and in their combined applications. In this book, he makes available some of his case material demonstrating an integrated approach to these sometimes thorny issues. Dr. Twerskis lucid responses to questions on specific life situations provide guidelines that can be of much broader relevance.
Because he is convinced that most life-adjustment difficulties are the result of a distorted self-perception, with consequent low self-esteem, Dr. Twerski has prefaced his responses with several chapters on the vital role of a personal identity hence the title, I am I.
More than a fascinating review of other peoples difficulties and their solutions, this is a book filled with insights that will enlighten countless people about themselves and the world around them. It is an invaluable contribution to self-knowledge in the light of Torah and psychology.
Rabbi Abraham J. Twerski, M.D., is a descendant of the founders of the Chassidic movement, whose philosophy he embraces and applies in his psychiatric practice. An ordained Rabbi, Dr. Twerski is Assistant Professor of Psychiatry at the University of Pitttsburgh School of Medicine and founder and Medical Director of Gateway Rehabilitation Center, Pittsburgh, Pa.
Dr. Twerskis earlier works, Living Each Day, Living Each Week, Growing Each Day, and Smiling Each Day, have established his position as a Torah scholar who possesses psychological insights that enhance application of Torah principles to everyday life.

No. 16 Virginia women's lacrosse closed out the regular season with a 10-5 victory over Virginia Tech on Senior Night at Klöckner Stadium.
Ten different Cavalier players scored a goal in the game including seniors Erin Laschinger and Caroline McTiernan who had been recognized before the game.
The victory was the first ACC win of the season for the Cavaliers who improved to 8-8 overall and 1-4 in the ACC.
"I would say that we were pretty desperate for a win," said head coach Julie Myers. "The players have done a nice job of working really hard and staying focused. As hard as it has been to lose games, they have really stayed positive and stayed together. It was nice to see that we were able to contribute together and have so many different people scoring goals. Our defense did a nice job of making some big stops as well."
Kim Kolarik returned to the starting lineup, playing in goal after missing the last seven games. She made five saves, four of those coming in the first half.
"It's been hard, after starting for two-and-a-half seasons, to break my hand and have to sit, but now I'm back and it is great," Kolarik said. "This week in practice has been really good. I feel like it is getting better every day. I'm 100 percent and I'm happy because it is just in time for ACC's."
With the victory, Virginia will earn the No. 5 seed in next week's ACC Tournament and face the No. 4 seed, Duke, in the first round game.

ArXotica, the Bethel-based bath and beauty company that uses materials gathered from the tundra, is trying to boost marketing of its soap outside the region with a crowd-funding quest at a site called Rock the Post.
So far that's a business story; the Daily News has covered the company in the past. What caught our eye were some of the gifts that go to donors at certain levels -- like a doll by Francisca Brown of Eek, a grass basket by Agnes Dock, miniature kayaks by Andrew Abyo, men's dance fans (which for some reason are harder to find than women's fans), a woman's headdress and books from the region.
Premiums also include diverse ArXotica products, some said to have anti-aging properties -- which can't hurt anyone, even the naturally good-looking people who read this column.
Michelle Sparck, one of the Chevak triplet sisters who founded the company, said getting their unique products to the upscale market in Anchorage and beyond has been tricky, but the handmade soap appears to be something people like. It provides "an incredible hook for product awareness," she said. "Unfortunately, it is costly and time consuming."
So they hope to use the funds raised for a large-scale soap run to ship out to more stores in Alaska and beyond. With an ample supply of their boutique sudsy product, "we can pursue placement in a lot more places," Sparck said.
The group needs to raise $14,000 by 8 a.m. Alaska time on Wednesday. Check out their pitch and view the other items offered for different contributions at rockthepost.com/posts/view/1467/Soap-Hope-Upscaling-production.
Beatles tribute returns
Two years ago, a Beatles look-alike/sound-alike band sold out Atwood Concert Hall when they performed Fab Four hits with roof-shaking backup from the Anchorage Symphony Orchestra.
Now the ASO says the "Classical Mystery Tour" tribute will return for two concerts at 7:30 p.m. March 28 and 29. Symphony subscribers were able to get priority tickets late last month and the general public can buy them starting Monday.
Before then, this Saturday in fact, the symphony will have another romp on the pop side with a concert of show tunes titled "Wicked Divas." The orchestra will be joined by two singers who have starred in "Wicked" on Broadway, Julia Murney and Emily Rozek. They'll sing songs from "My Fair Lady," "Ragtime," "Chicago," "Titanic" and other popular musicals.
Tickets for both shows are available at centertix.net.
Follow-up on 'Ever After'
Last weekend at adn.com/artsnob I posted reviews of "Tosca" and "Bigfoot" -- the last particularly important in that it was a premiere.
But the program I enjoyed most was the new full-length dance work "Ever After," presented by the Pulse Dance Company, with choreography by the group's director Stephanie Wonchala with a key contribution by Cady Lynn O'Brien Jenkins. A wonderfully athletic corps presented the engrossing wordless story line in one arresting image after another.
Grant Hall is a small theater, but attendance was very good; a full house on Saturday and standing room only on Friday, with a lot of patrons glammed up for the "red carpet" gala theme.
Among other things, there was a background where people could get their photos taken as if they were attending a Hollywood premiere. And there was beer and wine that several in the audience must have enjoyed since an unusually a large percentage left the seats for a bathroom run in the middle of the performance.
No one was unnecessarily disruptive, however, and the piece was enthusiastically received by the crowd.
More contemporary dance is on tap this weekend with "Retrospect," presented by Momentum at 8 p.m. on Friday, Feb. 8, in Sydney Laurence Theatre.
$90,000 for debris show
The Anchorage Museum has received two major grants to support its upcoming exhibition focusing on the science of marine debris and arts spawned by it.
The Robert Rauschenberg Foundation has donated $50,000, and another $40,000 will come from the Paul G. Allen Family Foundation to support "Gyre." The collaboration with the Alaska SeaLife Center will open at the Anchorage Museum in February 2014.
The exhibit will showcase information gathered in a scientific expedition this year and art created from flotsam gathered on Alaska beaches at that time. More than 20 artists will be represented.
Snow mama speaks
The paperback edition of Eowyn Ivey's novel "The Snow Child" has remained at or near the top of the Pacific Northwest Independent Bookseller's bestseller list for the past month. It is the featured book in the 2013 Anchorage Public Library's "Anchorage Reads" celebration. At 1 p.m. on Saturday, the library and 49 Writers group will host a reading by Ivey followed by a panel discussion in which she'll be joined by Don Rearden, Sherry Simpson and Daily News contributor Seth Kantner.
Before then, at 10 a.m., UAA writing instructor Douglass Bourne will lead a workshop. Both events take place on the first floor of Loussac Library and are free.
Also on Saturday, 49 Writers will resume its classes for scribblers wanting to hone their craft. Healy author Christine Byl, whose ruminations on trail-building in Alaska, "Dirt Work," will be released by Beacon Press (associated with Random House) in April, will lead the first class, "Writing Fiction and Non: How Story Chooses Its Form."
Later this month instructors will include Rich Chiappone and Kathleen Tarr. More information is available at 49writingcenter.org.

Waste Site Cleanup & Reuse in New England
Wilder Thermometer Factory Site
This vacant site includes about an acre of wooded property between Hunt Road and the Contoocook River in Peterborough, NH. Owned by the town of Peterborough, the site includes the former mill property, two residential properties ( 129 Hunt Road and 133 Hunt Road), as well as a right of way that runs through the residential property at 133 Hunt Road. On June 18, 2008 EPA NH department of Environmental Services and an EPA contractor investigated the site, taking four soil samples. The site investigation confirmed the presence of elevated mercury levels in soils. It appeared that the contamination extended onto two residential properties, including the town-owned right-of-way. A cleanup was recommended Sept. 2, 2008.

We have 10 years left on our mortgage. Should we refinance?November 30, 2012: 6:30 AM ET
We currently have 10 years and eight months left on a 15-year mortgage at an interest rate of 5.125%, with a balance of $210,362. Is it smart to refinance now with a 10-year note at approximately 3% and cut eight months off the mortgage? —Angela P.
In a word, yes. But remember that you'll likely have to fork over several thousand dollars in closing costs to get that new mortgage, says Glenda Moehlenpah of San Diego, Calif.-based Financial Bridges. If you plan on staying in your house for long enough to break even on those closing costs, then refinancing probably makes sense.
Fortunately, you don't have to do this math yourself. Plenty of online calculators can help you figure out how long it will take to recoup the cost of refinancing, such as Bankrate's break-even calculator.
A key benefit of refinancing, or course, is to save money. And in this case, it's likely that you'd save a bundle: Moehlenpah calculates that dropping your interest rate by more than two percentage points would save you more than $33,000 in interest payments over the next decade.

Uzbeks take upper hand
Uzbekistan grabbed a vital away goal as their World Cup Asia zone qualifying play-off with Jordan ended 1-1 in Amman.
Musab Al Laham put the hosts ahead on a poor playing surface as Jordan wrestled the early initiative back from the visitors.
But Uzbekistan scored a precious away goal just five minutes later when captain Server Djeparov exchanged passes with Jasur Khasanov and fired home.
The Uzbeks are now in pole position ahead of Tuesday's second leg, and the winner will take on the fifth-placed side in South American for a slot at the World Cup in Brazil.
