Experimental and Clinical Psychopharmacology - Vol 23, Iss 1
Random Abstract
Quick Journal Finder:
Experimental and Clinical Psychopharmacology seeks to promote the discipline of psychopharmacology in its fullest diversity. Psychopharmacology necessarily involves behavioral change, psychological processes, or their physiological substrates as one central variable and psychopharmacological agents as a second central variable. Such agents will include drugs, medications, and chemicals encountered in the workplace or environment.

A brief history of the development of antidepressant drugs: From monoamines to glutamate.
Major depressive disorder (MDD) is a chronic, recurring, and debilitating mental illness that is the most common mood disorder in the United States. It has been almost 50 years since the monoamine hypothesis of depression was articulated, and just over 50 years since the first pharmacological treatment for MDD was discovered. Several monoamine-based pharmacological drug classes have been developed and approved for the treatment of MDD; however, remission rates are low (often less than 60%) and there is a delayed onset before remission of depressive symptoms is achieved. As a result of a "proof-of-concept" study in 2000 with the noncompetitive NMDA antagonist ketamine, a number of studies have examined the glutamatergic systems as viable targets for the treatment of MDD. This review will provide a brief history on the development of clinically available antidepressant drugs, and then review the possible role of glutamatergic systems in the pathophysiology of MDD. Specifically, the glutamatergic review will focus on the N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor and the efficacy of drugs that target the NMDA receptor for the treatment of MDD. The noncompetitive NMDA receptor antagonist ketamine, which has consistently produced rapid and sustained antidepressant effects in MDD patients in a number of clinical studies, has shown the most promise as a novel glutamatergic-based treatment for MDD. However, compounds that target other glutamatergic mechanisms, such as GLYX-13 (a glycine-site partial agonist at NMDA receptors) appear promising in early clinical trials. Thus, the clinical findings to date are encouraging and support the continued search for and the development of novel compounds that target glutamatergic mechanisms.

Allopregnanolone association with psychophysiological and cognitive functions during acute smoking abstinence in premenopausal women.
Nicotine response may predict susceptibility to smoking relapse. Allopregnanolone, a neuroactive steroid metabolized from progesterone, has been shown to be associated with several symptoms of nicotine response. We sought to explore the association between allopregnanolone and response to nicotine during acute smoking abstinence in premenopausal women. Participants completed 2 nicotine-response laboratory sessions, 1 in their follicular (low allopregnanolone) and 1 in their luteal (high allopregnanolone) menstrual phase, on the fourth day of biochemically confirmed smoking abstinence. During the laboratory sessions, participants self-administered a nicotine nasal spray and completed a timed series of cardiovascular, cognitive, and subjective assessments of response to nicotine. The relationships of allopregnanolone with baseline values and change scores of outcome measures were assessed using covariance pattern modeling. Study participants (N = 77) had a mean age of 29.9 (SD = 6.8) years and smoked an average of 12.2 (SD = 4.9) cigarettes per day. Allopregnanolone concentration measured before nicotine administration was positively associated with systolic (β = 0.85, p = .04) and diastolic blood pressure (β = 1.19, p <.001) and self-report of physical symptoms (β = 0.58, p <.001), dizziness (β = 0.88, p <.01), jitteriness (β = 0.90, p = .04), and pleasantness (β = 2.05, p = .04). Allopregnanolone also had significant positive associations with change in cognition following nicotine nasal spray administration, specifically discriminability as a measure of attention (β = 1.15, p = .05) and response bias as a measure of impulsivity (β = 0.13, p = .02). These data suggest that allopregnanolone may be related to cardiovascular and subjective physical state during acute smoking abstinence, as well as cognitive response to nicotine.

Acute effects of nicotine on alcohol cue-reactivity in nondependent and dependent smokers.
Evidence from alcohol self-administration studies suggests that nicotine replacement therapy may influence subjective and behavioral responses to alcohol. However, its effect on alcohol cue-reactivity is unknown. The present study examined the impact of acutely administered nicotine on subjective responses to alcohol-focused pictorial stimuli. In a mixed within/between-subjects design, nondependent smokers (n = 51) and dependent smokers (n = 45) who socially drink were assigned to either a nicotine (4 mg) or placebo lozenge condition following overnight tobacco abstinence. Following lozenge absorption, participants viewed neutral images followed by alcohol-focused pictures. Craving measures for alcohol and tobacco were completed at baseline, following lozenge absorption, following neutral cues, and following alcohol cues. The presentation of alcohol cues increased alcohol-related craving relative to neutral cues, especially among men, but the administration of nicotine did not influence the magnitude of these effects. Nicotine lozenges were found to decrease intentions to smoke and withdrawal-related craving in dependent but not in nondependent smokers. Finally, the presentation of alcohol cues was found to increase intentions to smoke relative to neutral cues across participants regardless of lozenge condition. Findings suggest that although the presentation of alcohol cues can increase alcohol- and tobacco-related cravings in smokers, such effects do not appear to be affected by acute nicotine administration.

The motivational salience of cigarette-related stimuli among former, never, and current smokers.
While smokers are known to find smoking-related stimuli motivationally salient, the extent to which former smokers do so is largely unknown. In this study, we collected event-related potential (ERP) data from former and never smokers and compared them to a sample of current smokers interested in quitting who completed the same ERP paradigm prior to smoking cessation treatment. All participants (n = 180) attended 1 laboratory session where we recorded dense-array ERPs in response to cigarette-related, pleasant, unpleasant, and neutral pictures and where we collected valence and arousal ratings of the pictures. We identified 3 spatial and temporal regions of interest, corresponding to the P1 (120–132 ms), early posterior negativity (EPN; 244–316 ms), and late positive potential (LPP; 384–800 ms) ERP components. We found that all participants produced larger P1 responses to cigarette-related pictures compared to the other picture categories. With the EPN component, we found that, similar to pleasant and unpleasant pictures, cigarette-related pictures attracted early attentional resources, regardless of smoking status. Both former and never smokers produced reduced LPP responses to cigarette-related and pleasant pictures compared to current smokers. Current smokers rated the cigarette-related pictures as being more pleasant and arousing than the former and never smokers. The LPP and picture-rating results suggest that former smokers, like never smokers, do not find cigarette-related stimuli to be as motivationally salient as current smokers.

Sexual discounting among high-risk youth ages 18–24: Implications for sexual and substance use risk behaviors.
Youth under 25 show substantial sexual and substance use risk behaviors. One factor associated with risk behaviors is delay discounting, the devaluation of delayed outcomes. This study determined if delay discounting for sexual outcomes is related to sexual risk and substance use among 18–24 year olds. Females (70) and males (56) completed the Sexual Discounting Task, which assessed their likelihood of having unprotected immediate sex versus waiting for sex with a condom, at various delays, with 4 hypothetical sexual partners selected from photographs: the person they most wanted to have sex with, least wanted to have sex with, judged most likely to have a sexually transmitted infection (STI), and judged least likely to have an STI. They also completed instruments assessing HIV knowledge, sexual behaviors, substance use, risk attitudes, inhibition, impulsivity, and sensation-seeking. Condom use likelihood generally decreased with increasing delay. Preference for immediate, unprotected sex was greater for partners whom participants most (vs. least) wanted to have sex with and judged least (vs. most) likely to have an STI. Preference for immediate, unprotected sex in the "most want to have sex with" and "least likely to have an STI" conditions was related to greater lifetime risky sexual partners, lifetime number of unique substances used, disregard of social approval/danger, disinhibition, and sensation/excitement-seeking. Males showed greater likelihood of unprotected sex than females when condom use was undelayed, but delay similarly affected condom use between sexes. Delay discounting should be considered in strategies to minimize youth risk behavior. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2015 APA, all rights reserved)
Contextual influences on subjective and behavioral responses to alcohol.
Differential sensitivity to alcohol effects (e.g., increased stimulation and decreased sedation) is associated with heavier use and problems. Although genetic factors contribute to alcohol response (AR), environmental factors may also play a role. This study examined effects of physical context on AR using a between subjects placebo-controlled design. There were 157 (57% male) participants (ages 21–30) who were randomized to 1 of 4 conditions based on beverage (placebo or alcohol [target BrAC = .08 g%]) and physical context (simulated bar or traditional lab). AR was assessed using the Subjective Effects of Alcohol Scale and the Biphasic Alcohol Effects Scale, as well as behavioral tasks including the Balloon Analogue Risk Task (BART) and its negative reinforcement counterpart (MRBURNS). A beverage condition by context interaction emerged for low arousal positive subjective response (SR), and among women, for performance on the BART task. In the lab context only, alcohol (relative to placebo) was associated with stronger low arousal positive SR and, for women, with impaired performance on the BART task. This suggests that a less stimulating lab context may be better suited to differentiating positive alcohol effects from expectancies, whereas a bar context may be better suited to detecting expectancy effects. The findings also suggest that the ability to better appreciate positive alcohol effects (relative to expectations) in less stimulating contexts may lead to a strengthening of these effects among individuals who drink in these environments.

I placed two sseperate orders on different days and both were waiting at home for me less than 24 hours after placing the order. And that was with their UPS ground shipping. I ordered trunk struts and the ones they shipped were original equipment parts from Mercedes Benz. The cabin filter I ordered was aftermarket but very good quality at less than half the cost that I was seeing elsewhere. I am very happy with Parts Geek and will use them again. I even recommended them to my boss who has also bought parts for his car which is the same model Mercedes as mine.
Partsgeek has been very easy to deal with. Some times slow on return email and phone calls, b ut the bottom line is they take care of business and are sensible when issues occure. I will continue ...

(AP Photo/Pat Sullivan)

HUNTSVILLE, Texas (AP) — Jim Willett remembers the night of Dec. 6, 1982, when he was assigned to guard a mortuary van that had arrived at the death house at the Huntsville prison.
"I remember thinking: We're really going to do this. This is really going to happen," says Willett, who was a captain for the Texas Department of Corrections.
When the van pulled away early the next morning, it carried to a nearby funeral home the body of convicted killer Charlie Brooks, who had just become the first Texas prisoner executed since a Supreme Court ruling six years earlier allowed the death penalty to resume in the United States.
What was unusual then has become rote. On Wednesday, barring a reprieve, Kimberly McCarthy will become the 500th convicted killer in Texas to receive a lethal injection.
The number far outpaces the execution total in any other state. But it also reflects the reality of capital punishment in the United States today: While some states have halted the practice in recent years because of concern about wrongful convictions, executions continue at a steady pace in many others.
The death penalty is on the books in 32 states. On average, Texas executes an inmate about every three weeks.
Still, even as McCarthy prepares to die at the Huntsville Unit, it's clear that Texas, too, has been affected by the debate over capital punishment. In recent years, state lawmakers have provided more sentencing options for juries and courts have narrowed the cases in which the death penalty can be applied. In guaranteeing DNA testing for inmates and providing for sentences of life without parole, Texas could well be on a slower track to execute its next 500 inmates.
"It's a very fragile system" as attitudes change, said Mark White, who was Texas attorney general when Brooks was executed and then presided over 19 executions as governor from 1983 to 1987.
"There's a big difference between fair and harsh. ... I think you have (Texas) getting a reputation for being bloodthirsty, and that's not good."
Texas has accounted for nearly 40 percent of the more than 1,300 executions carried out since murderer Gary Gilmore went before a Utah firing squad in 1977 and became the first U.S. inmate executed following the Supreme Court's clarification of death penalty laws. (Texas had more than 300 executions before the pause.) Virginia is a distant second, nearly 400 executions behind. Texas' standing stems both from its size, with the nation's second largest population, and its tradition of tough justice for killers.
Still awaiting punishment in Texas are 282 convicted murderers.
Some may be spared. Supreme Court rulings have now excluded mentally impaired people or those who were under 18 at the time of their crime. Legal battles continue over the lethal drugs used in the process, mental competence of inmates, professional competence of defense lawyers and sufficiency of evidence in light of DNA forensics technology.
Texas Gov. Rick Perry, who has presided over more than half of the state's executions, said that the recent changes have helped make Texas' system fairer. In addition to the new sentencing options, he signed bills to allow post-conviction DNA testing for inmates and establish minimum qualifications for court-appointed defense attorneys.
"I think our process works just fine," Perry said last year during his unsuccessful presidential campaign. "You may not agree with them, but we believe in our form of justice. ... We think it is clearly appropriate."
So do most Texans.
A 2012 poll from the Texas Tribune and the University of Texas showed only 21 percent opposed to capital punishment.
Still, re-examinations of convictions have raised questions about whether some of those executed may have been innocent. The suspect cases included the 2004 execution of Cameron Todd Willingham for the arson deaths of his three young children. Arson experts consulted by a state panel determined evidence used to gain the conviction did not meet scientific standards. But Texas Attorney General Greg Abbott later barred the panel from further review of the trial evidence.
Over the years, the Texas execution list has provided a portrait of violent crime in a state where many people are armed, both good and bad, and juries have little tolerance for murderers.
Those executed have ranged from relatively common cases — robbers who killed store clerks, drug users who killed other drug users, spouses killing each other — to the bizarre and sensational. Ronald Clark O'Bryan, nicknamed the "Candy Man," poisoned his son's Halloween candy to collect on an insurance policy. Angel Resendez, a serial killer, rode the rails, stopping along the way to murder strangers. Lawrence Russell Brewer dragged a black man behind a pickup truck in a racist killing.
In the prison town of Huntsville, executions have become a well-worn ritual.
For more than 20 years, Dennis Longmire has been a fixture outside the fortress-like prison on execution evenings, holding a lit candle on a street corner. Hundreds of demonstrators once gathered there but interest has long since subsided.
"Texas continues to march to a different beat," as other states drop the death penalty, says Longmire, a criminal justice professor at nearby Sam Houston State University. He calls the execution total "staggering."
McCarthy, convicted of killing a 71-year-old neighbor during a robbery in 1997, is among eight inmates scheduled for execution over the next four months. She would be the first female put to death in the U.S. in three years and the 13th woman since the Supreme Court allowed capital punishment to resume.
McCarthy, 52, was condemned for using a butcher knife and candelabra to beat and fatally stab retired college professor Dorothy Booth at the victim's Lancaster home. Evidence showed the former nursing home therapist used the knife to sever Booth's finger to steal her wedding ring.
McCarthy, who is linked to two other slayings, already has had her execution date pushed back twice this year. Her attorney, Maurie Levin, is trying to halt her execution again, contending black jurors improperly were excluded from her trial by Dallas County prosecutors.
Levin said there has been a "pervasive influence of race in administration of the death penalty and the inadequacy of counsel — a longstanding issue here."
Even remarkable incidents in the death ritual can become mundane in the steady procession.
In 2000, Ponchai Wilkerson stunned officials when he spit out a small handcuff key he had kept hidden in his mouth as he prepared to die.
"In another state you live with that for a long time," said Willett, who became warden at the Huntsville Unit in 1998 and oversaw 89 executions. "Here in Texas, another one is coming a few days later and you've forgotten that one before."

Hi Glenn- thanks for the reply :) I should have added that the machine is set up so that I can only make an ssh connection- the same is true if I want to make a vanilla MySQL client connection to the same machine. I've cc'd this to the list as well, hope that's ok?

Hi Tim, I've just tried this on a Win XP box running OpenSSH within Cygwin and it worked for me with both 1.1final1 and 1.2beta6 of SQuirreL. I'm not sure that its a fair test as I'm running both the SSH client and server on the same PC but unfortunately its the closest I can get to your setup. I didn't need to set any extra driver properties. You could try 1.2beta6, it should give you some better error messages. Col

Fifteen years ago former University of Nebraska at Omaha athletic director Don Leahy and few influential Omahans came up with a crazy plan: Let's play college hockey in Omaha. It seemed preposterous. Where was the infrastructure of youth teams? Where would the team play? Who would want to coach a fledgling program? Who would want to watch?
Fifteen years later, as UNO starts its second season in the most prestigious hockey conference in the country, the issue is not how will the Mavs compete, but how they will deal with expectations. UNO is ranked No. 14 to start the season in the first USA Today/USA Hockey Magazine Men's College Hockey Poll.
Michigan, Yale, North Dakota, Boston College…

Another game, another shutout victory for Creighton men's soccer. The No. 3 Jays beat St. Mary's 1-0 on Sept. 24, running their shutout streak to seven games. Things are about to get more difficult. Creighton will face top-ranked Maryland on the road Friday, then head to No. 7 Indiana the following weekend. Sandwiched in between is a mid-week trip to Madison, Wisconsin. to face the Badgers ... Speaking of the Badgers is there any truth to the Internet mock-ups of Nebraska in black helmets/pants? My guess is no, but I'm not opposed. Black would bring the attitude the Blackshirts seem to be missing early this season. Not so sure it could help them get lined up…

Late in the fourth quarter of Nebraska's 51-38 victory over Washington, as the Huskers tried to run out the clock by running the ball, Rex Burkhead signaled for a replacement.
Freshman Braylon Heard told running backs coach Ron Brown that, anyway.
"He said, 'Coach, Rex is tapping out,' " Brown said.
Brown asked Burkhead if he had been tapping out. Burkhead said no, he was just trying to get a signal from the sideline. "So I looked over at Braylon," said Brown. "He was laughing at me. He wanted to get in. He's eager to play. But Rex, he's not going to tap."
Not that Burkhead should never tap out. "I've told him this: 'If…

Jamal Turner had a feeling Ameer Abdullah would get in the end zone before the night was done.
And that feeling was reinforced by Abdullah.
Or so Turner says.
Prior to Nebraska's 42-29 victory against Fresno State, Adbullah "actually told me, 'I'm going to score one today,'" Turner said Monday. "I was like, 'All right, man, go out and do it.' I kind of slapped him on the butt, and he actually scored. I mean, he's a good player."
Both are good players. And both are true freshmen, among five who have played for Nebraska in the first two games. All five are on offense. Plus, Abdullah has returned kicks.
That's how he scored,…

This Stormchasers season has officially ventured into the once-in-a-lifetime class. Having a new-look team in a new - look ballpark was enough to keep interest high at Werner Park throughout the summer. But then Omaha put out their best team in more than a decade. VP/GM Martie Cordaro was named the Pacific Coast League Executive of the Year. The Stormchasers won the American Division championship series on an extra innings, walk-off home run. Did you expect anything else? By the time you read this, Omaha will be in Sacramento taking on the River Cats with a PCL championship on the line. You can watch the series on MiLB.com. The way this season has gone, it's must-see streaming.

The scoring in Nebraska's 40-7 victory was finished early in the fourth quarter. But Tennessee-Chattanooga was looking for three more points, pride points, on a 37-yard field goal.
The attempt was blocked. Josh Williams was credited with the block, but Jared Crick claimed he got a piece of the ball. "A couple of other guys said they got a piece of it, too," said Crick.
"We'll have to watch the tape. Maybe it got batted by three dudes."
The tape showed that a fourth, Cameron Meredith, got more than a piece of the deflected field goal. The defensive end grabbed the ball near the line of scrimmage and carried it 7 yards before being tackled at…

Tucked in among the few remaining warehouses in a formerly industrial part of Omaha, just north of downtown, is one of the most efficient football factories in America. Creighton soccer turns out winners with mechanical precision. If not for that other factory down in Lincoln – which produces a brand of football preferred by the locals and sold nationwide – the Bluejays could be the most successful college program in the state.
Maybe they already are. Since 1992 the Jays have made 18 NCAA tournament appearances, including 17 straight between 1992 and 2008. They've made it to the College Cup - soccer's version of the Final Four - three times. CollegeSoccerNews.com calls Morrison Stadium the "most exciting venue"…

BIONICLE� Tournament, Target Game, And Double Vip Sets
Posted by
on March 21, 2015 at 10:17 AM CST:
I was looking at the LEGO® Store calendar that came with an order recently and saw a tournament on April 21, 22, and 23 where the best score at the end of each day wins a new BIONICLE® set. If you're not interested (or too old to participate) you can probably still try out the target game going on now and into April 26th, giving you plenty of time to practice for the tournament. There's also a double VIP event that appears exclusive to Onua and the Lord Of Skull Spiders set. I suspect part of the
display I photographed earlier
is likely the target field.

You Can Buy Custom 3D Printed Masks On Shapeways
Posted by
on March 18, 2015 at 08:09 PM CST:
You may have seen 00dude00's custom masks before, an Ignika modeled after the version originally shown in the comics in particular. You can now have one made to order via
00dude00's Shapeway page
, a 3D printing service. I imagine the masks can vary significantly in quality due to the nature of their production, but I have to admit that Ignika is tempting for $15 USD. I've paid more than that for authentic masks, and while I'd normally avoid customs, I might have to make the excuse that this is a piece of art (which it is, that thing is beautiful) and a good way to try a 3D printed product.

Apple To Reportedly Kill Off Ping, The Social Network For Music
Monday's WWDC Facebook announcement marked Apple's full integration of the top two social networks in the world. The odd network left out (other than Google+) was Ping, Apple's social network. Ping was launched in 2010 and was dubbed the social network for music but only ever saw mediocre usage. The service allowed users to follow artists & friends to see what they were playing and view their updates.
AllThingsD reported that Apple is going to retire Ping which won't be included within iOS6. All of Apple's new social elements will now rely on Facebook or Twitter. In the article a quote from Tim Cook, Apple CEO, stated the following at D10:
"We tried Ping, and I think the customer voted and said 'This isn't something that I want to put a lot of energy into""
While this move may anger some loyal Ping users, it appears to be the right move. The integration with Facebook is a big step for Apple and they now no longer need Ping. Instead of going the Google route and building social from the ground up, Apple is going to tie in and leverage social media from the most popular networks.
For more information see AllThingsD.

I have a six tap draft tower I acquired a while ago in hopes of building a bar and actually brewing enough beer to dispense 6 varieties. Anyways that hasn't happened and im thinking of getting rid of it. The tower is in nice shape and has glycol line running thru it. The taps are not that nice at all and I was planning on getting forward sealing perlicks when i used it. You can have them if you want with tower. Make an offer or post something to trade, Im open to all brewing items or cash of course. I am willing to pack and ship (this thing is heavy...just so you know) or meet for local pick up. Weight is approx. 25 lbs
Where are you located?
Near Port Huron, Michigan approx. 60 miles north of Detroit
PM sent
Tower is still available. Any offers?
What kind of ball park are you looking at? I believe forum rules state that you must list a price when selling something.
I paid 150 for the one in my 6 tap build. It was in a little rougher shape but this one looks like it has some dents where mine did not. It sure is shiny though.
My 6 Tap Long Draw Tower Build:http://www.homebrewtalk.com/f35/long...-tower-271578/
$200 or best offer, also willing to trade for something close in value. Electric brewing stuff, Large Kettles, PLate Chillers, etc...
No dents.

Trisha Yearwood: I'm in the Best Shape of My Life

When she learned her husband, Garth Brooks, would be singing at the April 7 Academy of Country Music Awards alongside his hero George Strait, Trisha Yearwood began searching for "arm candy" attire to wear to the Las Vegas event.
That's when she spied that dress – a form-fitting Stella McCartney column that she'd first admired on Kate Winslet in 2011. "I'd been working hard and losing inches, but I wondered, 'Can I fit into that?'" Yearwood recalls. The answer was a jaw-dropping yes. "It was tight!" says Yearwood, but "I felt confident. It was a wow dress."

Her husband Garth Brooks may have been a performance highlight at Sunday's 48th annual Academy of Country Music Awards, but Trisha Yearwood, 48, stole a bit of the spotlight when she showed off her fit physique while presenting an award at the show in Las Vegas.
"I've been dieting and exercising and I've lost about 20 lbs.," Yearwood told PEOPLE at the Southern Kitchen brunch she hosted at the South Beach Wine and Food Festival in February.
The Grammy winner and star of the Food Network's Trisha's Southern Kitchen says she sticks to a healthy eating plan – with the occasional splurge.
"I'm doing very little sugar," Yearwood said. "And occasionally I have the mac and cheese."

"The iced sugar cookies are the perfect Christmas cookie because you can decorate it any way you want for the holidays," Yearwood says. "I use lots of different colored frostings and red and green sprinkles."
The host of the Food Network's Trisha's Southern Kitchen loves cooking with her family, and will be joined by husband Garth Brooks for the show's season finale.
Garth Brooks & Trisha Yearwood Make Five-Year Anniversary a Family Affair

Forget the candlelit dinner for two: Trisha Yearwood says she and hubby Garth Brooks plan to make their five-year anniversary celebration on Friday a family event.
"When we got married five years ago we married the girls, so the five of us always celebrate together," she told PEOPLE at the Women of Worth Awards in New York City on Thursday.
Yearwood is step-mom to Brooks's three teenage daughters – Taylor, August and Allie – and said the whole family has big plans for the anniversary they'll be celebrating back home in Oklahoma.
"We're going to see Tangled," she revealed. "We all talked about it and said, 'Let's go see a movie.' We all actually really want to see it, and none of our children are young young."
The anniversary event is a bit of a prelude to their upcoming country Christmas, which Yearwood said will feature "family, home, just being together – and cooking."

Still, that's not necessarily Yearwood's. For the Nashville favorite, mother knew best.
"When I think of recipes, I think of church napkins and notebook paper. I have a lot of mom's handwritten recipes. I cherish those." says Yearwood, who has re-teamed with her sister Beth to dish up their second cookbook, Home Cooking with Trisha Yearwood.
As icing on the cake, starting with the June 18 issue, Trisha is also launching a new column for PEOPLE Country – sharing recipes and personal anecdotes, and answering reader questions. (E-mail her at email@example.com.)

"When I was growing up, suppertime, as we called it, was when the family got together around the table – that was our family time," the country singer tells Redbook in its April issue. "Those dinners are some of the best memories of my childhood."
An accomplished chef and cookbook author herself – her latest book, Home Cooking with Trisha Yearwood, arrives in stores in April – Yearwood and hubby Garth Brooks keep up the same family mealtime tradition at their Oklahoma ranch.
"Having dinner together is something Garth and I have worked at making sure we do, because it's too easy these days not to," she says. "Now we're all going to sit down and the cells are going to be turned off and there are not going to be any iPods playing into anyone's ears. It's time for family."

As far as anniversaries go, Garth Brooks and Trisha Yearwood must have to be "lovin' it."
Brooks, who came out of retirement and officially began his 5-year run of shows at Wynn Las Vegas on Saturday, had a fancy dinner planned to celebrate his 4th anniversary with Yearwood, but suddenly that meal became McDonald's French fries.
"That was our anniversary dinner," he told reporters Friday at Wynn Las Vegas, where – sporting jeans, sweatshirt and a baseball hat – Brooks played an acoustic set Saturday that included his influences (Bob Segar, James Taylor and George Strait) as well as his own songs, including "The River" and "Shameless."

When Trisha Yearwood was asked to write a cookbook, she didn't have to look any further than her husband, Garth Brooks.
"He's a really good cook," Yearwood, whose new book, Home Cooking with Trisha Yearwood, hits stores April 6, 2010. "He has a couple recipes in there that he actually made up, like Garth's Breakfast Bowl. It's just eggs, cheese, bacon, sausage, tortellini and hash browns. Sometimes he even makes French fries and throws them in there!"
And, filling as it sounds, Yearwood – whose first cookbook, Georgia Cooking in an Oklahoma Kitchen, hit the best-seller list – dares diners not to eat the whole thing.

On her way home to Oklahoma from a three-day, 60-mile walk to benefit the Susan G. Komen breast cancer research fund last week, Yearwood took a frightening detour.
While miles in the sky, passengers heard a disturbing noise. "We had been in the air for almost an hour when we heard a loud pop," Yearwood tells PEOPLE.
What she said sounded "almost like a gunshot" was in fact the cracking of the front left window of the plane at 30,000 feet.

i think it could be ichigo 4m bleach or cloud 4m final fantasy 7
ichigo because he can see ghosts and fights hollows.
cloud cause of his cool car and swords.
if you ask to choose between two of this ummmmm.....:rolleyes1:
i will chooose ichigo ( bleach )
it's the best for my opinone ...
I tend to like the bad guys more then anything.
Though I don't have a favorite best, the one that pops in my head is Uchiha, Itachi. He is a powerful character that killed almost his entire family. What's not to like right? He could have been the best in the village if he wouldn't have went bad. Though it makes him hotter at the fact that he did. ^_^ I'm strange yes I know... But I would say he's the best in my opinion. He became a chunin at a young age (7), as well as making it to the rank of Anbu capitain at thirteen. He killed his entire clan at age thirteen as well. He's powerful and hot, plus he's a bad guy! How is he not the best? ^_^
Oh man there are so many how can one choose.
I think many char. relate to others, just a bite differences.
I think one of the best made was Eiri Yuki from Gravitation. XD
Oh gosh I have to tell ya why. I love when people have a Dark side [&&] a kind side.
^^ Mr. Yuki is like many others like.
Gundam Wing Chars. They were all made "Two-Side" like. ^^
i would have to say....vincent valentine from FFVII.
hes just a straight up bad ass..in a good way ^_^
Since you people are obviously not limiting yourself to anime alone I'm moving this thread to the cyber lounge.
And PLEASE at least try to give some better reasons than 'he can see ghosts', 'he has a cool car', 'he's bad ass' or 'he has a dark side'.
If the reasons don't improve very soon this thread will be submitted to the long, long list of "threads killed by Hassun".
Best character made huh hm well I say Hassun if he was a character cause he is so awesome with his big Admin powers of closing things and such a knowledgable guy if you ask him questions. Aw what a sweety :P.
Ok seriously I have to say Cloud is the best character. Throughout the game he doesn't give a crap that much about anyone but you slowly see him changing as time goes on. Of course he goes on an emotional rollercoaster ride for a bit but somehow lands back on his feet. He isn't Mr Herioc or Evil villan he is just a guy trying to survive the trials of life and figure out were he is going to go next in his life. Lucky for him he has a good group of friends who will kick some sense back into him when he acts retarded. LOL is that what you meant Hassun?
Motoko Kusanagi....
i think the best word to describe her is "she's so number 9" like in ED lyric..
*BRAVO* for Shirou Masamune and Mamoru Oshii....
hmm....very mature..*i know*..

I'm getting a new area to add to my garden,whooee! Would like to try some "old" roses and thought rugosas sound doable. Are there any hidden flaws: prone to disease? rampant growth? suckering problems? This is a whole new enterprise for me, exciting but I don't want to have a disaster. Would very much appreciate advice from old rose enthusiasts. Maddy
Hi Maddy,
I feel a bit cheeky even attempting to answer on this forum because I really know little to nothing about roses. I just wanted to mention that I had been to an open garden. It was couple of acres and they had rugosas as a living fence on the border of their land. All I can mention is that they were HUGE! and extremely thorny. I almost felt they had thorns on their thorns. But they were beautiful!
Worked a charm as a fence...looked lovely and were impenetrable.
They bloom well throughout summer and into Autumn. There is quite a large variety, and some, like Rosa rugosa "scabrosa" have huge heps that can be used for jelly or jams. The smell is delicious. Susan Irvine mentions that scabrosa tended to self seed redily in her garden at Bleak house. Self seeding can vary with plants, from garden to garden.
I have grown "Rugspin" for 3 years and it is still only a small bush. I prune it back each year the same as the David Austins around it. The leaves always look extremely healthy, and give a good autumn show.
I have just planted out scabrosa, lily freeman and frau Dagmar Hastrip (sp) and have a Rosarie le l'hay to find a place for. I fancy buying more for a hedge at the back of our property. Misty downs has a huge collection of these, many of them only bred in recent times. They should all be fairly carefree.
Other old varieties worth considering - Gallicas are very easy care, and don't need pruning. They don't grow much over 1m tall, and tend to be lax. They mostly bloom only in Spring, but the blooms are gorgeous. There are a number that don't have very thorny branches, if you are averse to thorns.
Damasks - taller, beautiful blooms, and divine scent.
Talking of Rugosas. For me there are three distinct groups of Rugosas, and when I talk about disease-proof, I refer only to the first of these groups, and please, if your experience is different, believe me that this is my experience in Melbourne.
First group: R.rugosa, R.rugosa alba, Belle Poitevine, Blanc Double de Coubert, Delicata, Frau Dagmar Hartopp, Jens Munk, Max Graf, Nyveldt's White, Roseraie de l'Hay, Rugspin, Sarah Van Fleet, Scabrosa, Schneezwerg.
Second group (rugose foliage, but second class): Agnes, the Grootendorsts, Fimbriata, Lady Curzon, Martin Frobisher, Mme.Georges Bruant, R.x micrugosa, Schneelicht, Souvenir de Philemon Cochet.
Third group: Conrad Ferdinand Meyer, Mrs.Anthony Waterer, Nove Zembla, Rose a Parfum de l'Hay, Ruskin, Vanguard (BS magnet).
Given ideal conditions for growing, perhaps I am wrong to belittle some of these second and third groups, and they will perform better for some, but given some neglect, this is how I rate them. The blooms on all are fabulous, what better red than Mrs.Anthony Waterer, just a bit rust-prone. They are the most handsome of rose plants, IMHO!
Most of these better rugosas are available from Reliable Roses.
Sparaxis, could I suggest that you don't prune your Rugspin. Rugosas don't need pruning, and if yours is so small, then let it alone. Trying to grow amongst David Austin roses is quite a tall order, being crowded and all. Rugspin is a vigorous grower, and I can only suggest that it is sulking. But why prune it??
Here is a link that might be useful:
Why do I prune Rugspin? - Haha! COs it's there and I have the secateurs in my hand (evil grin)
Yes you are right - it is a bit much to expect it to grow with the DA's :-) I shall move it this winter to a nice place among it's friends. It doesn't seem to be sulking - gives a good display of blooms. At least it did after I discovered why it was losing it's leaves - the plastic label was strangling the trunk :-((
Thanks for that bit of advice as I was considering what types to look for as I also think they're terrific. Can you suggest the 'smaller' of the Group 1's with good repeat as they are what I'm after. I particularly like the look of Rugspin, Frau Dagmar Hartopp, Scabrosa (just planted a heap of seeds and hoping - Thanks Jan!) and two others you don't mention Corylus and Hansa. Any ideas about these and if they're stocked 'somewhere nearby?'.
Frau Dagmar particularly, and Rugspin are in the lower growing Rugosas if grown as specimens. Corylus would be OK too, but I don't think it's in Australia. Hansa I've never had. Peter Beales has big wraps on it. Scabrosa and Sarah Van Fleet are big, perhaps Belle Poitevine also gets to 5'. The others are up to 4', and as wide or wider. Max Graf is a creeper. Beware of growing then close together or they will rise above normal height to get to the sun. I have Frau Dagmar up to 7' competing with Nastarana in close proximity. An oversight. I omitted R.x paulii from No.1 list.
Here is a link that might be useful:
Which are the potentially highest of the group 1? I'd like to get a few to get to (eventually) at least 7 feet high and width does not matter. Would you go with Alba or Sarah van Fleet and how close would you plant to force them into being a high hedge? They will have to cope with gum trees in the vicinity but not within, say 3 feet - I know that's not much but I am trying to block views of a lovely nieghbour's house along my fence line.
Lozza, I have another question. Deep in the French countryside, I fell in love with a rugosa hedge with white, single flowers and overpoweringly wonderful perfume. Accordingly, one of the first roses I bought in Australia was R. rugosa alba; but it's not the right rose - the perfume isn't nearly as strong and beautiful. What could the French rugosa have been?
And Meryl, I have a couple of questions for you.
1. The fragrance of what?
2. What diameter flowers?
3. Do you recall the texture of the foliage?
4. What height the hedge?
If you bought R.rugosa alba, knowing it, and feeling it most closely resembled your hedge rose, perhaps end of story, and enhanced pong can be put down to the euphoria of travelling abroad. If you didnt know alba intimately, then perhaps there are other options. Please answer the 4 questions above to give me more clues.
Oh dear, we're talking quite a few years back and details get hazy, but you can count euphoria out. Have spent a fair bit of time in France over many years.
I didn't buy alba with foreknowledge, just with the description that it was a single white and seemed to be the only one.
Can't remember just where but I came across a reference recently to alba's perfume as "moderate" but I'd agree with that (though the opinion is only based on my one shrub and I've found individual plants sometimes vary from the variety norm); whereas the French one was enough to stop us in our tracks, though what, other than rose, it smelt of, I couldn't say at this distance.
Flowers, as I recollect, were about 8 - 10 cms across and the hedge about 1.2 m high. Does that help at all?
Certainly sounds like alba. All Group 1 Rugosas have the fragrance of cloves. Other options to my knowledge are Schneezwerg (flowers smaller), Schneelicht (smoother foliage), and paulii (petals widely spaced). Height OK, but varies according to surrounds. I think it can only be alba, so over to you. One other thing. If it was a warm, humid day, fragrance could have been magnified.
Pam, Sarah Van Fleet will make it to 6' at 3' centres. Conrad Ferdinand Meyer, Nova Zembla, Mrs Anthony Waterer, and Agnes will reach the height you want, but are second class rugosas, and you can expect rust.
Thanks Lozza. I will be in touch early next week with Jean.
Which is the (white) alba with the best pong as I am faacinated with Meryl's memory. I'd love to have a rose or a hedge that stopped people in their tracks because of smell - even though I have very little smell sadly.
This is a very old thread but I still thought I might add my two-bits worth to it. lozza has obviously had a lot of experience growing rugosas in Melbourne but I thought I might just add a slightly different take on rugosa scent from my experience growing them here in coastal NSW. I planted a R. rugosa Alba along a fence line where it has in typical rugosa fashion thrived and flowered for the last three years (and even had a small seedling with the other parent a nearby Crepuscule I think). What sets it apart from other rugosas that I have grown up in the dry, cold tablelands is the scent. I can smell this rose even when I am walking past pushing the mower ��" so above the smell of petrol and cut grass. So maybe the fragrant mystery white rose of France was encountered on a day of soft, heavy humidity like we experience here more often than not.
Anyway, it is just an idea as I had never had such wonderfully smelly roses before I gardened in an area of higher humidity. And it is not just the rugosas, but the hybrid musks are also extremely fragrant on any day (when the air is still!).
I have just joined this forum and I was hoping to gain some info from Rose lovers.
I would love a rose hedge, I am in central NSW and we get temps 30 down to below 5 with snow. I have a sunny open area about 25 to 30 meters long that I would like to plant as a hedge. I have been thinking of a Rugosa Rose.
Any Ideas? I appreciate all input.
Hi Joan, I know it's been awhile since you posted; I just wandered in here for a look-see. I grew 2 rogosa roses; rosa rogosa scabrosa and, well, I forget the name of the other one, a single with lovely pink flowers. I'm on the coast near Tweed Heads, a little on the warm side for most roses, especially, it seems for rogosas - they struggled for about 5 years and finally looked too sick to continue, so I removed them last summer. I'm of the opinion that out where you are they should perform better: Swains, the big rose nursery at Dural in Sydney, have their main propagating nursery out there, I think around Dubbo but I'm not certain of their exact location. The advantage of growing heritage roses such as rogosas is they are generally disease resistant - I never had any problem with black-spot or aphids with them.
