An amazingly-delicious salad that's a real treat for Phase One! |
(For Phase One Fridays I highlight Phase One recipes from the past that have been my personal favorites. This salad is a recipe where I subbed sugar snap peas for carrots to make it Phase One, and it's something I could eat over and over. If you're not a cilantro fan, I'd just use more green onion.)
I'm always a fan of cruciferous vegetables, so when I saw a recipe in Cooking New American with red cabbage, chicken, and cilantro, of course I wanted to try it. I love the flavor and crunch of red cabbage, and when I'm making a lettuce salad for lunch, it's one of the first things I'll add. In this salad red cabbage was the main ingredient, and I realized too late it would have been nice to use my beloved mandoline to get the cabbage a bit thinner, but even with slightly thicker cabbage, you can tell I loved this flavor combination:
Red Cabbage and Chicken Asian Salad with Tangy Cilantro Dressing
(Makes 3-4 servings, recipe adapted from Cooking New American.
Dressing Ingredients:
1/2 tsp. ginger puree or minced fresh ginger
1/2 tsp. garlic puree or minced fresh garlic
1/4 cup finely chopped fresh cilantro
3 T peanut butter (or more, use "natural" low-sugar peanut butter for South Beach Diet)
1 T fresh squeezed lemon juice
2 T peanut oil
3 T soy sauce (low sodium is ok)
1 T very hot water
1 T sweetener of your choice: Stevia In the Raw Granulated Sweetener, Splenda, sugar, or Agave Nectar
Salad Ingredients:
(You can vary the proportions of different ingredients based on what you have.)
2 - 3 cups very thinly sliced red cabbage (use a mandoline to slice the cabbage if you have one)
1/2 -1 cup diagonally sliced sugar snap peas (carrots or red bell peppers would also be good, or use a combination of veggies)
1/3 cup diagonally sliced green onions (scallions)
1 -2 cups diced cooked chicken
Garnish Ingredients:
2-3 T finely chopped fresh cilantro
1/4 cup finely chopped almonds or peanuts (I only had almonds, but next time I'd use peanuts)
Put ginger, garlic, cilantro, peanut butter, lemon juice, peanut oil, soy sauce, hot water, and sweetener of your choice in food processor. Pulse about one minute, until ingredients are well combined. Taste to see if you want more peanut butter. (I think this could be done in a blender if you don't have a food processor.)
Remove outer leaves from cabbage, cut out core, and cut into thin slices (not more than 1/4 inch thick.) Cut other vegetables into thin diagonal slices or matchstick pieces. (Carrots could be coarsely grated.) Chop chicken into pieces about 1 inch square.
Combine vegetables and chicken in large salad bowl and toss with dressing. Arrange salad on individual plates and garnish with chopped cilantro and peanuts.

January 28, 2010 – For Immediate Release
ELKHART, Indiana – For their market category and price points, Crown's new XLS Series of amplifiers offer an unprecedented level of performance, configuration flexibility, and user-friendly features. The following points summarize key technology breakthroughs and refinements behind these benefits.
Integrated Digital Crossover and Limiter
Most amplifiers in this market category provide limited facilities, if any, for input signal filtering and driver protection. (Typical offerings are simple analog high-pass filters and a limiter, usually selected via rear-panel DIP switches.) In contrast, the new XLS Series utilizes high-resolution digital signal processing to implement a flexible PureBand™ Crossover System and proprietary PeakX™ driver protection limiting./p>
Using the easy-to-read front panel LCD display and large function buttons, users can select crossover points from 50 Hz to 3 kHz on 1/12 octave centers, allowing precise matching of specified crossover points on most bi-amplified loudspeakers. Filters are fourth-order Linkwitz-Riley, with steep slopes for seamless transition between high and low drivers. Alternatively, the digital filters may be set to optimize both amplifier channels for driving either high- or low-frequency loads, or for driving full-range systems./p>
The PeakX limiters utilize highly effective yet sonically transparent algorithms derived from the OmniDrive HD loudspeaker drive processing in Crown's flagship I-Tech HD Series. By precisely matching response to the output characteristics of each amplifier, PeakX enables significantly higher output levels than are possible with conventional analog limiting, yet with assured driver protection. The front panel soft-touch buttons also select limiter on/off (per channel) as well as bridge-mode on/off. There are no rear-panel DIP switches.
Advanced Switched-mode Power Supply
A highly efficient switching power supply is optimized for maximum power transfer from the AC line through the Class D output stage to the loudspeakers. Compared to older, 60Hz transformer-based power supplies, a side benefit is substantial weight reduction: all models weigh less than 12 pounds, but with no compromise of Crown's traditionally robust build quality.
Proprietary Class D Output Stage with Integrated DriveCore™ Technology
As a type, Class D amplifiers are notable for extraordinarily high efficiency, approaching 90%. In addition, inherently low output impedance makes Class D well suited to driving difficult reactive loads such as subwoofers. However, a number of complexities make it difficult to design – and to manufacture at modest cost – real-world Class D amplifiers with sonic performance comparable to the best Class AB designs. In addition, as a type, Class D output stages are highly dependent on stable internal voltage rails, and can suffer impaired performance on marginal or unstable AC line supplies.
To overcome these obstacles, Crown engineers designed DriveCore™ - a proprietary hybrid analog-digital integrated circuit (IC) that drives the "front end" of the Class D output stage. Placed in the signal chain between the DSP module and the main power output devices, and driven fully balanced from the D-to-A converter stage, DriveCore incorporates highly refined feedback circuits and a single synchronous clock. (The DSP and switch-mode power supply clocks are both synchronized to the PWM master clock for optimum overall system stability.) Crown's proprietary circuit-modeling techniques were employed to optimize the relationship between the new modulator chip and the power output stage. Here, Crown engineers applied the latest in power FET semiconductor technology, along with an advanced differential drive circuit topology, to offer the efficiency of Class D but with the lower distortion and residual noise typical of Class AB designs.
Other notable technology features and benefits of DriveCore Technology:
- Patented feedback and PWM modulation circuits enable fast recovery on peak transients, accurate reproduction of low-level detail, and precise tracking of low frequencies at high power levels for maximum subwoofer output.
- Integrated thermal management and protection systems ensure maximum power is delivered to the load with minimum stress on output devices.
- Advanced power supply design coupled with a wide-tolerance PWM clock maintains full performance even with sagging or "dirty" AC line conditions. The new proprietary modulator chip can handle large (up to 3:1) variations in power supply noise or sag without adversely affecting audio quality. Consequently, compared to other Class D amplifiers in this market category, performance is far less likely to be compromised by fluctuating generator power or by AC circuits sagging from marginal overloading by lighting rigs, backline gear, etc. (Prior to this development, the only way to maintain consistent performance was use of more complex – and costlier – regulated power supplies.)
Designed and Tested for Reliability
The new XLS Series of amplifiers were subjected to the same rigorous design analysis and prototype testing procedures as all Crown amplifiers, regardless of application or price point. Finite element analysis (FEA) tools simulated design behavior to optimize mechanical and thermal systems for cooler, more reliable operation in warm and high-humidity environments. All XLS Series amplifiers must pass Crown's uniformly rigorous quality control procedures before shipping.
"The Green Edge"
XLS Series amplifiers conform to the goals of the Harman Professional Group's "Green Edge" environmental initiative. New, high-technology circuit components not only use fewer resources in manufacturing, but also contribute to significant weight reductions that result in less energy consumption for initial shipping and end-user transportation. At the same time, extremely high operating efficiency translates into less AC line current used for each watt of output. The result is a significantly reduced "carbon footprint."

Comments On Mar 10, 2009:I had to modify my warrior. it was worth it though. I cut the stock screen for the filter off and got a 2 inch diameter pvc pipe about 4 inchies long and glued it to the inside of the stock piece that holds the filter in place with the cut off screen. clamp her on in place so that the filter lays on the support in the back of the air box and you're good to go. real easy and cheaper than buying the whole modquad system. wish I would have seen the k&N stock replacement one fist!!!

Comments On May 29, 2008:Filters my machine more that my stock one the one thing about it if you buy it for a yamaha warrior it does not fit in the air box. So you have to take off the hose on the air box and put it on the K&N Filter. But other than that it give you machine more power and over all performance.

Comments On Oct 22, 2007:The Instructions included were helpful and the billet plate provides a much nicer way to clamp the filter on. My only complaint was in order to use the K&N filter with it you must grind down or cut out part of the stock plastic airbox where the screw goes for the stock filter (this was on a 2007 Suzuki LTR 450, other models may not need airbox modification). You must do this in order to make it fit. It would be nice if you didn't have to do the modification, but it seals very well and is much better than the stock intake set-up.

Dusty Baker Remembers Ron Santo
"I'm hoping that indeed he's in heaven smiling right now."
Cincinnati Reds manager Dusty Baker expressed those sentiments during a conference call this week about Ron Santo, the longtime Chicago Cubs third baseman who will posthumously be inducted in to the National Baseball Hall of Fame on Sunday afternoon. Santo, elected to the Hall of Fame in Dec. 2010 by the Veterans Committee's Golden Era committee, passed away in 2010 at the age of 70.
Though the two spent a few years playing in the National League at the same time – at the end of Santo's career and the beginning of Baker's – it was while Baker was skippering the Cubs for four seasons (2003-06) and Santo was a beloved broadcaster with the team that their friendship blossomed.
"I barely knew him as a player," Baker said. "I know that he played hard, I know that he was a clutch man, and that he'd bite the ball if it meant getting an out, but I knew him better as an announcer. And then when I got to be with him everyday to do a show with him, I found out that he's about a tough a guy as I've ever met but he's also a kind-hearted, sensitive man at the same time."
One of the first ballplayers to openly admit to playing with diabetes, Santo in later life underwent the amputation of both legs below the knees as a result of the disease.
"He never complained about anything and I know that he had to be in pain," Baker said. "I know there were times he'd fall down and he wouldn't even let you help him up. I was sad when on certain days he wouldn't feel good and it would be a void in my life that day.
"My last year-and-a-half with the Cubs weren't very pleasant but it was very pleasant to see him to start the day off. It also let me know that no matter what was happening and what I was going through that what it must have been like to be him… and never complain about anything."
The relationship developed between Baker and Santo to where they would exchange turkey during the Christmas holiday.
"I have a great memory of him being very consistent in his personality and very positive toward the Cubs no matter what. He lived and died with the Cubs," Baker said. "I really enjoyed my time with him."

They just got Weeden last year. While he hasn't looked promising
Prior to this week he led all rookies in yards and tds
While I agree that Weeden has been more impressive than most thought, and Cleveland won't take a QB, that stat is kind of empty. Luck and Tannehill had already had their byes, and RG3 had missed some time with the concussion.

You have Jordan Poyer going twice in the 2nd round. And I don't see my boy Rex Burkhead going undrafted. He's a mid-round guy I think. At worst, he is deserving of a late round pick.
As far as the Packers draft, I don't think RB is enough of a focal point of our offense for us to spend a 1st on one. At least not as long as #12 is in town. In today's NFL, RB is not valued like it once was and a team like the Packers would be the last team to spend a 1st on one. Maybe a 2nd to 4th would be appropriate. So while I like Bernard, I just cannot see the Pack going RB that high. I'd rather see us go OL, WR/TE (considering Finley's underperformance, Jennings hitting free agency, and Driver likely retiring), or even ANY position on D (for depth and a further influx of young talent) over RB in the first round.
Love the DJ Khaled Holmes pick. Also like the Jared Abbrederris pick. Solid job overall..I can tell you put some work into this.

I love the Te'o pick. In the second, I would prefer not taking guys out of position to fill projected needs. I'd rather have an experienced college safety instead of a projected CB. Same at OLB. I would want a true SLB, not a tweener. We have had little luck with the tweener types.

I like the Justin Hunter pick for the Seahawks, even though I believe he will be long gone, by the time we pick.
I hate the Floyd pick. He offers nothing in terms of pass rush and that is what we need. We already have plenty of run stuffers. I'd love an every down, pass rushing interior lineman though, since Jason Jones isn't an every down player and will be a free agent at the end of the season.
Sean Porter is a good pick. He immediately becomes the SLB, moving K.J. Wright to WLB where he belongs.
Lutzenkirchen is not a dynamic receiving threat. Therefore this is too early for us to take a non need position, like TE. A starting RT here, would be greatly needed.
Not a fan of the Kennard pick at all. We drafted a LEO last year, so Kennard makes no sense, especially since he has missed the entire season. We could use a pass rushing 5 Technique though since Red Bryant is useless on passing downs. I'd target that position or another WR, or a Nickleback.
Foketi is alright, as far as the position is concerned, but RT must be addressed earlier than this. Here is where I might look at a TE or Nickleback.
Madison lacks the size to play 5 Technique in our 4-3 Under base scheme. So we really have no need for him. Here is where I possibly target a TE or a QB, since there is
no way
, we keep a $20 million backup (Flynn) beyond this season.
Tavarres King makes sense, since we are almost certain to take a pair of WR's in this draft.

Yikes.... I really dislike taking a RB in the 1st for our offense. And I really dont like Bernard. Holmes is so-so. Position of need. We do not need a CB at all. Knott would be a ILB for us, not sure how he trasitions to a 3-4. Not really a fan of Abbrederis and the rest is TC fodder.

Not a bad draft for the Rams. A few things I would change though.
107. St. Louis Tank Carradine, DE, Florida State
139. St. Louis Christine Michael, RB, Texas A&M
Luxury picks where we could instead see a TE or interior lineman.
The two safeties could be the move but it's also likely we take the DE pick later than the 4th or a DT for rotational purposes. It's conceivable also that we end up picking up two OLB since I believe both McIntosh and Dunbar were signed to one year deals. If both of them leave after the one year we could be picking both OLB positions up in the draft.

TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) -- A Kansas Senate committee is planning two days of hearings this week on Gov. Sam Brownback's tax proposals.
The Assessment and Taxation Committee is scheduled to begin its examination of the governor's proposals Tuesday. Brownback's fellow conservative Republicans dominate the Senate, but many members have misgivings about the measures he's outlined.
Brownback's goal is to stabilize the state budget while allowing room for additional cuts in individual income taxes after aggressive income tax cuts last year.
He's proposing to phase in a fresh round of individual income tax rates over three years. But he's also seeking to eliminate two popular income tax deductions for homeowners.
The governor also wants to keep the state sales tax at its current rate rather than having it drop in July as previously planned.

Brain surgery is an operation to treat problems in the brain and surrounding structures.
Before surgery, the hair on part of the scalp is shaved and the area is cleaned. The doctor makes a surgical cut through the scalp. The location of this cut depends on where the problem in the brain is located.
The surgeon creates a hole in the skull and removes a bone flap.
If possible, the surgeon will make a smaller hole and insert a tube with a light and camera on the end. This is called an endoscope. The surgery will be done with tools placed through the endoscope. MRI or CT scan can help guide the doctor to the proper place in the brain.
During surgery, your surgeon may:
The bone flap is usually replaced after surgery, using small metal plates, sutures, or wires. The bone flap may not be put back if your surgery involved a tumor or an infection, or if the brain was swollen. (This is called a craniectomy.)
The time it takes for the surgery depends on the problem being treated.
Craniotomy; Surgery - brain; Neurosurgery; Craniectomy; Stereotactic craniotomy; Stereotactic brain biopsy; Endoscopic craniotomy
Brain surgery may be done if you have:
Risks for any anesthesia are:
Possible risks of brain surgery are:
Your doctor will examine you, and may order laboratory and x-ray tests.
Tell your doctor or nurse:
During the days before the surgery:
On the day of the surgery:
After surgery, you will be closely monitored by your health care team to make sure your brain is working properly. The doctor or nurse may ask you questions, shine a light in your eyes, and ask you to do simple tasks. You may need oxygen for a few days.
The head of your bed will be kept raised to help reduce swelling of your face or head. The swelling is normal after surgery.
Medicines will be given to relieve pain.
You will usually stay in the hospital for 3 to 7 days. You may need physical therapy (rehabilitation).
How well you do after brain surgery depends on the condition being treated, your general health, which part of the brain is involved, and the specific type of surgery.

The Department of Transportation will have no choice but to cut staffing of air traffic controllers if the upcoming forced spending cuts take effect, the agency's boss said Sunday, defending against allegations that the warnings are merely bluster to help the Obama administration force a deal with congressional Republicans.
As part of the forced cuts, which total $85 billion, the Federal Aviation Administration will be required to slash $600 million from its budget. Appearing at the White House on Friday, Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood warned those cuts would result in major delays at American airports.
Pressed by CNN Chief Political Correspondent Candy Crowley on Sunday why those cuts must result in delayed flights, LaHood explained that air traffic controllers consumed a substantial part of his agency's resources.
"The largest number of employees at DOT is at FAA, of which the largest number are FAA controllers," LaHood said on CNN's "State of the Union."
"We're going to try and cut as much as we possibly can out of contracts and other things that we do," he continued. "But in the end, there has to be some kind of furlough of air traffic controllers, and that will also begin to curtail or eliminate the opportunity for them to guide planes in and out of airports."
LaHood, who was a Republican congressman from Illinois before joining Obama's administration, is the last member of the GOP in the Obama Cabinet. Asked why he was brought to the White House briefing room Friday to address reporters, he said: "I would describe my presence here with one word: Republican."
Asked Sunday if he thought Republicans were solely to blame for the stalemate over the forced spending cuts, LaHood alleged that members of his party were unwilling to negotiate with the president.
"I'm a Republican," he said. "My audience is trying to persuade my former colleagues that they need to come to the table with a proposal, which frankly they haven't done. While the president has, the Republicans haven't."
One former colleague disagreed.
"Shame on Ray LaHood," Sen. John McCain, also appearing on "State of the Union," said with a laugh. McCain, R-Arizona, pointed to an op-ed in Sunday's Washington Post by the journalist Bob Woodward pinning the origin of the forced spending cuts on the White House

Project Name: Hollywood & Vine Loft
Architects: William Beauter, AIA, LEED AP, and Jess Mullen-Carey, MAKE Architecture
General Contractors: Juan Gallegos, Gallegos construction
Square Footage: 1,450 square feet
The build-out of a new loft in Los Angeles gave William Beauter, AIA, LEED AP, and Jess Mullen-Carey the envious architectural challenge of starting with a clean slate. Former clients were the first owners in a new building on the corner of Hollywood and Vine. The young couple asked Beauter and Mullen-Carey, founders of MAKE Architecture, to design a residence with flexible spaces that would grow as their needs changed. The clients wanted to maintain an urban loft feel, but they needed privacy in addition to a second bedroom for overnight guests or an eventual nursery. The couple also entertains frequently and asked for open spaces. All of these requirements had to be handled within 1,450 square feet.
The design team brainstormed a way to keep the loft's airiness while inserting enclosed rooms. After researching several divider alternatives they designed a custom partition system with panels that slide fully open or close tight, but also tilt at various angles. The 10-foot-tall panels provide occupants with several options for privacy or connectedness. To create the system, solid-core doors were sliced into segments and reconfigured into long, narrow panels. The height is nearly two-doors tall while the width is approximately half that of a standard interior door. The dimensions are elegant and dramatic, plus the panels are heavy to help buffer sound, according to Beauter. When designing in tight quarters "you have to make the solution simple but inspiring or it will overpower the space," Mullen-Carey surmises. "The star of this show is the movable partition system—simple, elegant, and really classic in a modernist way."
The panels operate manually using off-the-shelf hanging door hardware. The floor and ceiling tracks were installed as a single system that continues around the two bedrooms. The nonstop tacking allows for myriad panel configurations and creates a cool detail. "There's this sleek snaking line around these spaces," Beauter explains, "so it gives a sense of separation even when the doors are open."
Beauter and Mullen-Cary also devised clever ways to increase the usefulness of the guest bedroom. Concealing the bed beneath a raised floor allows the space to double as a home office or even overflow entertainment space when the panels are pushed aside. Hydraulic lifts beneath the wood floor raise the bed into position. Fashion-conscious beanbags conceal the mechanism's door and transform the room into an intimate lounge, while a wrap-around step offers more casual seating. "We liked the idea of being perched a little higher so people could hang out in a special space and get a new perspective," Mullen-Carey says.
"In all of our projects, we like to manipulate standard materials to make them unique," Beauter adds. "Here, we utilized standard basic doors and hardware and made them custom without a tremendous amount of cost or effort." In addition to the movable panels and disappearing guest bed, Mullen-Carey and Beauter looked for other ways to increase flexibility. The kitchen island, for example, conceals an extendable glass dining table. A slab of tempered glass rests just below the solid-surface countertop and slides in or out to the desired length. A single stainless steel leg supports the floating end and sits flush against the island when the table is fully retracted. "Everything you see has an ability to function," Mullen-Carey says, "but also allows the romance of how a loft should feel to read through the functionality."

Very good
From the moment we arrived, everyone was friendly and welcoming. The hotel and restaurant were awesome, as was the free biscotti and limoncello happy hour. Could hear the cable cars from our city view room but it was part of the ambiance. Staff helpful in giving tips for our sightseeing and brought extra blankets when requested since it was cold. WiFi was free but I had trouble connecting at times. I would definitely stay again!!!
Good locatoin
The pillow is so inferior that the one i get in dollar store is even better then that....very uncomfortable... room is so small and the bathroom is hard to turn around... window has to be closed all the time... not recommended.
The room was "newly renovated", but the doors of the minibar cabinet (under the TV) could not fully open, because they hit the bed - the room was that small. Bottles of water set on the desk - presumed to be complimentary - were charged at an exorbitant rate as part of the minibar. The television channels - printed on a card - were different than those listed on the DirecTV channel guide (which turned out to be wrong). Cable cars ran at all hours, with some drivers ringing the bells to excess (right outside the window), which was disturbing.
The room was newly renovated and clean. I loved the street view!
Dirty shower, lots of soap scum on tiles and dark hair on floor in the bathroom.
- location - friendly personel
- noisy room, unacceptable for this price of the hotel - no view
I've found the hotel I will be staying at when in Sf!! BEST customer service I've experienced! If it happens to be your Birthday, mention it!
Near to shopping areas and BART
Very limited toiletries
Nothing, Poor customer service and very unprofessional.
They overbooked hotel and asked us to leave when we went to check in. Said they found another room at another hotel and said we had to walk there. The place they found us a room was a flea bag hotel : disgusting and not clean. They said we could return, when people checked out during the weekend, we did not. I have been traveling for over 20 years and that has never happened to me, I was never treated so unprofessional. I would not recommend to everyone.
good location for a tourist in SF downtown...ultra close to the cablecar...very helpful concierge
parking is a pain and is expensive (but it's SF downtown so it was expected)
Location is extremely close to Union Square
Could hear every word being said by the people in the room next door.
Fabulous location for accessing airport BART train, shopping and cable cars.Great restaurant in house as well as good eateries nearby. Good value for money. Lovely boutique style of. hotel- homely yet efficient
Can be a little noisy if you stay on the Powell Street side of the hotel as there is no double glazing.
Location - shopping, dining etc Staff - always over and above! Hotel Cafe and Kuletos- the best!
Location - time for city to clean up! Dirty & getting dirtier - very bold displaced homeless folks Been coming for years and unhappy with the decline!!!
The hotel charle 20 dólares extra for each day. Is not fiare you did not say. We seré supo sed to paid 644 and ended paiyng 889
Reception and the busy Powell St entrance, its a great city stop and meet place. Charming staff on reception.
Very limited Bar capacity. Very old and tired rooms, not a worthy standard. Bathroom small and cramped.
The power was out due to a major storm but the hotel still managed to provide excellent service.
Room was comfortable.
Outside noise at night. Needed extra pillow.
Lobby is very nice, and the restaurant areas are as well.
Rooms need updating, air conditioner was not working properly. Hallways were old and in poor condition.
People are great.
Power went off on bed side of the room around midnight. It came back at 9AM following morning. WiFi did not work in the bathroom. Hotel needs to be refreshe, it has an old lady tired look. Parking fee...
Cutest hotel I've ever stayed at! Nice bathroom, and hotel location was great, in the middle of shopping and only a few blocks away from BART.

Malignant mesothelioma is an uncommon cancerous tumor of the lining of the lung and chest cavity (pleura) or lining of the abdomen (peritoneum). It is due to long-term asbestos exposure.
Malignant mesothelioma
Long-term exposure to asbestos -- a fire-resistant material -- is the biggest risk factor. Asbestos was once commonly found in insulation, ceiling and roofing vinyls, cement, and automotive brake materials. Although many asbestos workers smoked, experts do not believe smoking itself is a cause of this condition.
Malignant mesothelioma affects men more often than women. The average age at diagnosis is 60. Most people seem to develop the condition about 30 years after being in contact with the asbestos.
Symptoms may not appear until 20 to 50 years or longer after exposure to asbestos, and may include:
The doctor or nurse will examine you and ask about your medical history and symptoms. Tests that may be done include:
Mesothelioma is often hard to diagnose under the microscope. It can be hard to distinguish between this disease and similar conditions and tumors.
Malignant mesothelioma is a difficult cancer to treat.
There is usually no cure, unless the disease is found extremely early and the tumor can be completely removed with surgery. Most of the time when the disease is diagnosed it is too advanced for surgery. Chemotherapy or radiation may be used to reduce symptoms. Combining certain chemotherapy drugs may help decrease symptoms, but it will not cure the cancer.
Untreated, most patients survive about 9 months.
Consider participating in a clinical trial (test of new treatments), which may give you more treatment options.
Pain relief, oxygen, and other supportive treatments may also help relieve symptoms.
You can ease the stress of illness by joining a support group where members share common experiences and problems.
The average survival time varies from 4 to 18 months. Your outlook depends on:
Call for an appointment with your health care provider if you have symptoms of malignant mesothelioma.
Avoid exposure to asbestos.

PORTSMOUTH — Baseball is not a game of instant gratification.
"As a league, we're real excited about the opportunities the Mavericks have in going to Portsmouth," said FCBL commissioner Chris Hall. "From year one, it was where we wanted (the team) to be.
But the city wasn't about to displace the American Legion and youth teams that called Leary home. Last summer, the Mavs got approval to play six of their home games at Leary and were pleased with the results, with the attendance about 100 a game better than their season average.
It just never caught on in Rochester.
As of now, this is a one-year relationship between the Mavericks and the City of Portsmouth. But both sides are eager to see this become a long-term partnership. |

So I'm very surprised to not have seen a Rift topic up.. or if there was I must have missed it. Game comes out next week, headstart begins either Weds or Thurs (I forget which). I have a Boxed CE preordered for it already, goodies in it are real nice.
Anyways, I've been playing in every beta so far, and I have to say this is the most well polished MMO I've ever seen or played and it is so beyond fun. I hope other people are getting into it too. If you are, lemme know. I'm joining a server with my guild, so I could let you know which server we'll be on also.

4 A reliable source of informationsheriffjackson | 24/06/2009 | See all sheriffjackson's reviews (14)Another solid entry in the Clutch back catalogue - perhaps their 5th best to date (out of 9, 10 if you include the rareties album 'Slow Hole to China'). This is no criticism though, as the top 4 albums are absolute stone cold classics.Clutch continue down the blues rock road, previously displayed on From Beale Street to Oblivion. As always, the riffs and grooves are huge. The incredible musicianship can be compared to Led Zeppelin at their tightest; each component essential to the overall sound. At the forefront is Neil Fallon, with his amazing lyrics and booming voice. Highlights include the single 50,000 Unstoppable Watts, Abraham Lincoln (why wasn't history at school this interesting?!) and Minotaur.If you are already a Clutch fan, you will lap it up. If you have heard the name before but never been sure, Strange Cousins is the perfect introduction to one of the world's greatest rock bands.
5 My Summer Rocker!Frederock | 04/08/2009 | See all Frederock's reviews (13)I love this hard rocking album from my new favourite band. I has everything I need in a rock and roll album. The whole thing make me want to drive fast and drink too much whisky. Brilliant all the way through.I don't think I'm ever going to stop listening to this rock monster!
5 FAV NEW BANDslayer77 | 25/07/2009 | See all slayer77's reviews (18)my favourite new band.just really got into clutch the last few months,i know i know wat av ive been at...but this is a real catchy bluesy,stoner rock album.i know most people prefer their earlier albums but im loving this & robot hive more so.neil fallon is a vocal geniusawesome album
4 Latest & Best From ClutchMaxBantleman | 11/08/2009 | See all MaxBantleman's reviews (77)Clutch have been around and evolving for a long time.Hopefully this album will break them to many new fans.Best way to describe this album is 'tight but loose'.Production is great and really showcases the style and feel of a blues / rock band doing their thing in an old school way. Songs have space: they are sparse, plenty of room for the instruments to breathe. (Sounds pretentious, but it really is a great feel :)It feels like the kind of thing that the black crowes / black stone cherry / zack wylde should have done ages ago, kind of a 'monster magnet' meets a Zep on stage warm up.Tight but loose.Don't get me wrong, Clutch don't copy, they are as original as it gets, just keeping their roots on display I suppose.Love the songs, all with great melodies from all the instruments, each given space to contribute to the sound.Just feels like they really knew what they were doing and really enjoyed doing it!Only minor criticism would be the guitar sound can be a bit thin in places.I like where Clutch have got to on their journey and hope they stay here for a couple of albums.

CNN — It's the ultimate 'who's minding the store' question: For the first time since taking office, both President Barack Obama and Vice President Joe Biden will be out of the country at the same time (if only for a few hours).
The White House is adamant this will not affect the day-to-day operation of the government. White House spokesman Josh Earnest told reporters last week, "President Obama is president of the United States everywhere he goes. Vice President Biden is vice president of the United States everywhere that he goes."
The question came up after it was announced that Biden would lead the U.S. delegation to attend Pope Francis' inauguration in Rome Tuesday. This came on the same day Obama is scheduled to depart on a trip to the Middle East.
The reporting pool traveling with the vice president back from Rome reports he is expected to land Tuesday evening at Joint Base Andrews anytime from 8:20 p.m. ET to 9:20 p.m. ET. The president is set to take off for his Middle East trip at 8:00 p.m. ET.
Depending on headwinds, the two most powerful officials in the government could be like ships passing in the night on Air Force One and Air Force Two.
