Final Score: Phoenix 82, Memphis 80
Phoenix, AZ (Sports Network) - Goran Dragic's layup with 0.5 seconds left lifted the Phoenix Suns past the Memphis Grizzlies, 82-80, on Wednesday.
Rudy Gay missed a jumper with 8.6 seconds remaining and Markieff Morris corralled the rebound and Phoenix quickly called a timeout.
Following the timeout, Dragic took the pass from out of bounds and drove to the basket, but was cut off by Marc Gasol. Dragic, though, shook the big man with a spin move and dropped it in with just 0.5 showing.
The Grizzlies lobbed a pass near the basket in an attempt to tie the game before time expired, but the ball was swatted away and the Suns held on for their first win since Nov. 27.
Dragic finished with 12 points and eight assists while Jared Dudley and Shannon Brown added 15 points apiece for the Suns, who snapped a seven-game losing streak.
"It was a much needed win, obviously for us and once again it was against a real quality team," said Suns coach Alvin Gentry. "I thought our defense was really good. We struggled offensively, but I thought are defense was really good. We did a good job."
Gay poured in a game-high 21 points to go with 11 rebounds and Zach Randolph chipped in with 18 points and 10 boards for the Grizzlies, who have dropped two straight and three of five overall.
"We were not running our plays. We couldn't score. We were playing decent defense and getting stops but offensively we were not executing," Gasol said. "We were not cutting at the right time, we were passing the ball too late. And it is hard to win when you don't execute."
The teams traded blows over the first 7 1/2 minutes of the final quarter until Marcin Gortat's hook shot put the Suns up 80-76 with just over four minutes to go.
Gay countered with a reverse slam to pull the Grizzlies within 80-78, and after going three minutes without a basket, Gay buried a 19-foot turnaround jumper to knot things up at 80 with 46.8 seconds left.
Memphis led 27-21 after the first 12 minutes. Randolph dropped in 10 points in the frame after going 5-for-7 from the field. The Suns shot just 34.8 percent from the floor in the period.
The Suns cut it to 46-43 at the break after holding the Grizzlies to just 7- of-21 shooting in the period before tying the game at 63-all after three quarters of play.
Game Notes
The Suns have overcome five double-digit deficits this season ... Phoenix has won three straight at home versus Memphis. The home team has won the last five games of the series .... The Suns held the Grizzlies to a season-low 34 points in the second half ... Gasol had 15 points for Memphis.

This is an intersectional feminist space.
You mean, Batman Adventures #34-36? They certainly brought new meaning to partners in crime. I will have to do a proper feature of this story arc – it's wonderful, funny, heartbreaking stuff. I especially love the body language – you can see the conflicting emotions of Selina's guilt and pleasure in just a few panels here already.
Thanks for the question, anon. :)
Have you read Batman/Superman #13 yet? Did you spot a certain Easter egg? :)
Catwoman/Selina Kyle in The Cat and The Claw Part 1
Catwoman breaking into cars, since, well ... the beginning.
From Batman (v1) #397 & Detective Comics (v1) #845
Hi! I love your site I go on it almost everyday. But there's something that I want to know. I feel sometimes I'm the only person who liked having catwoman in the JLA. I know the comic wasn't the best ever written and I felt the story line was rushed, but I liked the team. DC could have had done more with it. So am I crazy for liking catwoman in the JLA?
Thank you, I am so glad you enjoy the site!
No, you are not "crazy" for liking Catwoman in JLA. It is OK to like a work of art, so long as you consider/acknowledge your own or other people's concerns with it and/or its creator. That was my main gripe with the last anon: the correlation that if you like something that's perceived to be problematic/oppressive/harmful it means you are stupid/crazy/wrong, and how dare you like it!
This is something we should think about with all media we consume though – why do I like this book/film/TV show/art/person? And what does that say about me? How will this new self-awareness change the way I consume other media? I think reflection is the way to go rather than defence; sometimes afterwards you'll find that you don't like the work as much as you did, or that despite its flaws you still like it; at least you've reflected on it and recognised its faults and its merits – that is more important.
We all have "that line" we can't cross where you just cannot read/watch something for its oppressive crap no matter how much value/entertainment you get out it, but that line is always different, depending on our backgrounds, life experiences or standards. We all have different triggers and sensitivities. In an ideal world we'd be able to consume bigotry-/marginalisation-free media, but there is so little of THAT in our society that we have to compromise. It's something many of us grapple with daily, yet just as many remain oblivious to that struggle. So it's important that we talk about it candidly but meaningfully, that we listen to other people's viewpoints, and that we don't derail/gaslight them, especially when they call us out on something. It takes work.
(On the subject of JLA, I actually enjoyed the first couple of issues, marvelled at how even Geoff Johns got more of a semblance of Selina's voice in a few sentences than the writers of her actual title could in an entire story arc, but then lost interest in the plot AND David Finch's art got weirder. The unusual team-up is definitely the best highlight of JLA!)
Are people like you really unaware that The Wydening Gyre was written to hurt Batman-Catwoman shippers and drive you from the fandom? It's part of a bunch of stuff from that period like Helena Kyle and Damian and Gotham Sirens and Arkham City. What is wrong with you that you don't know when somebody sucked you in to spit on you, and you turn around and celebrate it.?
No, "people like me" are not "unaware", but that doesn't mean this blog just celebrates BatCat; it freely critiques and/or highlights the problematic elements as well, at my own discretion.
I think it was several months ago – maybe a year? – but someone asked about identifying a particular scene I wasn't sure about, until someone correctly named it, so I posted it for reference. Obviously someone's just dug it up again recently.
I am fully aware of The Widening Gyre's depiction of misogyny, relationships, and violence – it is ridiculous, contrived nonsense, but at least it doesn't at all pretend to be serious, and I still enjoy some parts of it (except that last issue though, IIRC that was truly horrific tripe). It certainly wasn't as insulting as the current proportion of rubbish in the New 52 (and who'd have thought we'd be saying that – incidentally, I still prefer "that period" to what's going on now). So to me it's a lesser of two evils. Of course that's entirely a subjective POV – you certainly don't have to agree, and I am sorry if you are hurt by the post/s.
However, I deeply take issue with your implication that people cannot like problematic or controversial media (and let's face it, ALL media is full of bullshit in varying quantities), and that if people like said media it inherently means there is something "wrong" with them. Because that kind of thinking is grossly naive, not to mention offensive. I was furious with and disgusted by the sex scene in the New 52 Catwoman, among many other things, but I have never gone around shaming people for liking it or posting graphics of it. I have even had amiable discussions with BatCat fans who did enjoy that particular Catwoman run. I don't generally highlight it on the blog, nor do I support it, but who am I to police the media that other people consume and enjoy?
Pop culture is full of harmful and disrespectful ideologies, attitudes, and themes, and it can be the hardest to acknowledge those problems when it's something we enjoy from our particular vantage of privilege. But to demonise and bully someone for their interpretation rather than engaging with them and opening a dialogue for discourse – I'm going to have to wonder what's wrong with you.
And on that note, here's a great article on how to be a fan of problematic things!
—Batman #62 (1950) cover by Win Mortimer
Camren Bicondova and David Mazouz with fellow GOTHAM cast members at Warner Bros. Television Photo Studio at ComicCon on Friday July 25, 2014.
What do you think it is that sets Selina apart from the other women that Bruce has loved? What does she have that the others don't?
A question I am often asked and always glad to answer! I wrote a long-winded response here, but to put it simply, no one understands the many facets of Bruce the way Selina does, and vice versa. Their backgrounds, values, and morals may clash, but fundamentally they are very similar people. It's that balance they have that ensures their relationship is forever engaging and enduring, whether they are together or not.
I like Jonathan Nolan's description of their relationship – I think he highlights the crux of why they work together so well:
In a weird way, she's the yin to his yang. The dynamic between them is so fresh — the playful way she kind of pokes fun at him — it sparks a connection between them and takes some of the sombreness away from his character.
(Though it really should be her yang/light to his yin/dark)
That's not even considering how iconic a character Selina is, right next to the Joker. Their history is long and rich; if you hear about Batman, you would not be far away from hearing about Catwoman either. She's been with him almost since the very beginning, and that offers a lot of variety and nuance in the many depictions of their relationship.
Bruce and Selina
Batman Returns/The Dark Knight Rises
If you combined the two scenes together you would have the perfect mix of sexual and romantic tension.
I just wanna say that there was no sexual tension between Hathaway and bale because there was no chemistry. Keaton and Pfeiffer's scene had PALPABLE tension. Their chemistry on and off screen was discernable.
Hence my saying combining both. What Bale and Hathaway lacked in sexual chemistry, they made up for with their restrained back and forth banter that recalls a Golden Age / old romantic classic. Either way, still a homage to the very best of their ineffable dynamic.

- Memorable first dateOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 8/30/2014We dined at the Refectory for our first formal/nice dinner. The service was impeccable, and the good was to be remembered for years. I have requested a special romantic table in the comment/request section in Opentable.com and they did accomodate us with a table that had the perfect light, distance to others. The food was superb. I have not experienced real fancy food much in my life. However, this was a new experience for me and I did not think the price was too high at all for the unique flavorful dishes. If things go well, I'm pretty sure my girlfriend and I will dine here again.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Best food and service in Columbus!OpenTable Diner Since 2010Dined on 8/30/2014I absolutely love dining at the Refectory! The staff and owner are very accommodating and make it their priority that you have a wonderful experience. Most recently I took my parents here and wanted to be seated in a quiet spot because my dad has trouble hearing sometimes. When making my reservation, I requested a quiet spot, and I was so pleased when the owner acknowledged my request when we checked in by saying he had a table for us in a quiet area. As always, the food was outstanding. My favorites are the warm goat cheese appetizer, the seasonal roasted tomato and corn soup, salmon, lamb, beef tenderloin, tiramisu, and crème brulee. My favorite wine is the chef's cousin's Brouilly.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- An exceptional dining experience.TMOHAZ1Dined on 8/28/2014Cuisine and service were exceptionally good. Although consistently operating at a very high level, our meals and service were even better than normal. Many thanks to Michelle and the waitstaff team for superior service. Our compliments to the chef for the beautifully prepared whole European Sea Bass and also the Duck Breast entrees.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

Like the setting sun over the Pacific Ocean, the refectory is a beautiful spot to take a date with exceptional staff that demonstrate utmost professionalism and knowledge about the food preparation process. If you want to woo your special someone, take them to The Refectory. In hindsight, the big check is a small price to pay for such a unique and classy experience.Special Features:

Of the 3 dishes , one was served cold, one was the wrong dish, and the third- duck- was exceptional. Desserts are phenomenal and excellent service. Pretty pricyI would recommend this to a friend.
- Class in ColumbushungryasusualDined on 8/23/2014Generic reviews aside, I knew very little about The Refectory before making a reservation. It was for our first anniversary and my wife is pregnant with our first baby. I made both of these facts known in the special request section when booking on OpenTable. The staff could not have been more accommodating. We received congratulations from multiple staff members and a very nice "mocktail" was provided for my wife. We both felt very special. Needless to say, the meal was amazing and our experience there was perfect. I could see this being a place I will frequent for special occasions.Special Features:
- Very nice evening outJABKDined on 8/22/2014We were very happy with our meals and the soup special- green lentil was awesome! Would have liked to had a steak knife with my beef tenderloin. It was perfectly cooked and did cut with a regular knife but took a bit more effort. The scallops my husband had were outstanding and perfectly prepared.

- Food and serviceGrumpybearDined on 8/18/2014We were greeted when we first came in, in a timely manner. We were seated, ordered drinks, mine was superb, wife hated hers. Service, was fair but felt looked down on, Then the wait... for food, which was ok.. not great or worth the price. My wife says I cook a better filet on my grill. We finished our meal and waited 17 minutes for someone to ask if we wanted desert, we said no.. then after 10 minutes another waiter brings the desert menu... (don't they talk to each other) he lays it down then walks away... takes another 15 minutes before he comes back for us to tell him what we told the other one.. nom we do not want desert... we are now out of time for a movie we were going to see. Thank you for your time, but we will not be returning.
- Made it RememberableHonestAbeDined on 8/15/2014The Refectory really went out of their way to make our dinner outstanding. We celebrated our daughter's engagement there and the waiter, even the owner, all did their best to make it special. Food and service of course were outstanding as always. Thank you Kamal.Special Features:
- Birthday DinnerTashwitzDined on 8/15/2014We went here for the first time ever and mentioned on our OpenTable reservation that it was my birthday. The staff said happy birthday from the moment we entered the restaurant and even added a birthday candle to my dessert. They went out of their way to make sure I had a great birthday and I appreciate that so much. The food was EXCELLENT. We ate the escargot, veal, filet... everything was outstanding. The presentation of the food was just on a whole other level. There is no better place to eat in Columbus for a special occasion.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Thoroughly enjoyed itOpenTable Diner Since 2013Dined on 8/14/2014Took my parents there for their 50th wedding anniversary. They commented that it was the nicest place they had ever eaten. The service was excellent as always and the food was delicious.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- The Refectory5StarDiningDined on 8/12/2014The Refectory is located in an old church so the ambiance is unique. The food selections are plentiful and a gluten free menu is available. My choice was delicious and attractively presented. I could not have requested better service. The Refectory is definitely a five star restaurant.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Exceptional food and service but...RichincmhVIPDined on 8/9/2014I finally made it to the Refectory for dinner.....and all the praise I have heard over the food and service were well founded. Our server, Michelle, was knowledgeable, gracious and very warm. She was a great ambassador for the restaurant. Both me and my date had four courses....all delicious and well prepared. I had the fish special (grouper) and my date had veal....both were exceptional. And if you stay for dessert try the pear tart - perfect and not too sweet. I really love the history of the building and the vaulted ceiling and stained glass in the dining room are great. But the decor was a distraction. While tasteful, the wall and floor coverings, light fixtures and upholstery were just tired and worn. Update needed to design.Special Features:
- girlsDined on 8/8/2014Highly recommend this restaurant for food, wine, and service.Special Features:
- Fantastic Birthday2satisfiedDined on 8/6/2014The accommodation to the table request was granted, the food was exquisite, the service could not be improved upon, and I scored points with my wife for taking her there for her birthday!Special Features:
- Best ever!JenniferDined on 8/5/2014We celebrated multiple events recently and this was the place to do it. Preparation and attention to detail is unsurpassed, the taste and aroma is sublime and the service, both in knowledge and attentiveness, was great.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Restaurant WeekRockDined on 8/2/2014Stopped by on the last day of restaurant week. A nice selection of offerings for each course was available. The goat cheese appetizer was a nighlight of the evening. The pork in the bacon sauce was delicious, and the beef dish was also enjoyed. We always look forward to dining at The Refectory!Special Features:
- Happy Anniversary!still2getherDined on 7/31/2014Wonderful place to celebrate an anniversary! Special greeting in our menu and two complimentary wines - one before dinner and one before dessert! Thank you for making our anniversary special.Special Features:

- AlandKathyCDined on 7/30/2014First time at your place primarily because we live in Pickerington and our busy lives keep us local. However, we enjoyed the Refectory so much we will be back, and are telling our friends wonderful the food and staff were. Al and Kathy C.I would recommend this to a friend.
- Good but not a wowjoerunnerDined on 7/26/2014Did the restaurant week prix fixe menu. Service was impeccable and food presentation was excellent. Food itself was not out of this world good, but well-prepared. My wife had the roast chicken and what I ate of hers was overly salted. The pork chop I had was excellent, as was the tiramisu. A bit expensive for what you are actually getting though.Special Features:
- Outstanding Servicefood101Dined on 7/26/2014We had decided to try The Refectory after receiving a much hyped review from friends. We arrived and were immediately introduced to the menu. We started off with a round of cocktails and appetizers, then got a bottle of wine and our main course, and finally finished off with dessert. The food was delicious (exactly what I would expect from a four star restaurant), but the true pleasure of dining here was the service. The wait staff was quick, knowledgeable, and highly recommended. We never had a dry glass, and got to try lots of different wines. In particular, for dessert, our server brought us a few samples of Asti which paired perfectly; something we would not have known to order. He made it a true food tasting experience.Special Features:
- Switching sidesAndyDined on 7/26/2014Most the food was fantastic. However, they switched the side on one dish to something very plain, with no sauce. Did not receive adequate response. Also, was not told at time of orderingSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great experienceSterlingDined on 7/26/2014The Refectory is the place in Columbus to celebrate a special occasion. The service is outstanding, and the food is excellent.Special Features:
- Superb once againDownthehatchDined on 7/25/2014This is my fourth dining experience at The Refectory. This is the second time to have Justin as my waiter. He is a talented, knowledgable, impeccable waiter who made the evening perfect. The food and wine are amazing. The atmosphere is unique and beautiful. The Refectory is truly a dining experience.Special Features:
- AnniversaryOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 7/24/2014The food at the Refectory is usually excellent but on this occasion (7/24) it was extremely salty and mediocre. Even though it was early in the evening 1 chosen appetizer and 1 chosen dessert were not available. Service was great as usual. I have had better here but may have been an off night?Special Features:
- Top Choice for Restaurant WeekFrugalFoodieDined on 7/24/2014My Husband and I have always wanted to dine at The Refectory, however we have a VERY modest income. The Restaurant Week prix fix menu was well within our budget, and we began our dining experience with the idea that we may get discounted service as well. We were pleasantly surprised!!!! Our service was incredible- of the highest quality! The first course was beautiful, aromatic and thoughtful. Our entree was filling and elegant. And deserts and drinks were divine !!! We even received complementary glasses of wine ! We HIGHLY recommend The Refectory for it's elegance, service, but mostly for the delectable art created by the chef! Worth every hard earned dollar and then some!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great service. Overrated Food.AmbroseDined on 7/24/2014Appetizers Roasted Goat Cheese - Excellent! I would go again just to have two of these! Crab Pannequet - Good. Though most crab cakes are good. Entrees Salmon and Lobster Ravioli - Awful. The salmon was seared on the outside and raw on the inside. Not opaque - raw - like sushi. However, the quality of the fish was very good - sushi grade, in fact. The single ravioli on the plate was not lobster at all. It may have been mushroom. The entire dish was cold. Baby Rack of Lamb (ordered medium rare) - "Meh" Thin, overcooked and chewy. Again, the dish was cold. Deserts - like anywhere else, but smaller. "Been there, done that" list. Overrated and expensive. I MAY go back for wine and appetizers, but not for dinner.Special Features:
- A night to rememberkasieann9Dined on 7/23/2014I have never been to the Refectory before but have heard only great things. So, for my boyfriends birthday/brothers going away dinner we decided the perfect fit would to celebrate both at one of the most beautiful restaurants in Columbus, Ohio. The service, from the moment we walked into the restaurant, was divine. The ambiance was elegant, it made even a dinner with the man I love and my entire family romantic. The food was exquisite, we decided to do the restaurant week menu, and all ordered something different, we planned it so we would take a bite or two of our own and then pass it around the table. EVERYTHING was just amazing. The wine list was impeccable, I wanted to try it all. It was definitely a night to remember forever.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Family Birthday CelebrationOpenTable Diner Since 2010Dined on 7/23/2014This was the best dining experience I have ever had. The waiter (Justin) was fabulous, knowledgable and entertaining in a subdued way. The wine list was amazing with a variety of prices. We ordered both a red and a white. All entrees were exceptionally plated and tasted wonderful. We passed bites around the table. The desserts were like the entrees exceptionally plated, fabulous tasting and shared by all!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Luv2dineLuv2dineDined on 7/23/2014The Refectory is one of our favorite French restaurant...it makes me feel like I'm in Paris :) We went on restaurant week for the food banks.

We will be heading back soon:) Great job to all the staff:)Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Exquisite!VanessaDined on 7/22/2014We have never been disappointed by the Refectory. We went for Restaurant Week and it was a great reminder of how exceptional their food and service really is. We'll be going back again soon and have moved it to the top of the list for our special occasions. This is what haute cuisine is meant to be!Special Features:
- Anniversary OutingDQRQDined on 7/22/2014We had a very good dining experience, thanks to our waiter, Joseph. He suggested wine pairings, if we did not want full glass. It was a wonderful idea and we thought the 2 ounce glasses, per course, were great. I observed my wife sitting back, and her fork on her plate. Thinking something was wrong, I asked about her salmon. She said it was delicious and that she was just enjoying the taste between bites. My sea scallops were delicious as well. I am not a dessert person, but the warmed pear tart was excellent. The Refectory was well worth our 20+ year wait.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Good food, great ambiancelicaDined on 7/21/2014Food was really good, but not exceptional (I arrived with high expectations), and a bit expensive. The place is quiet, romantic and comfortable. Great for a date or special occasion. Service was great. I won´t become a frequent costumer due to the price, but I´ll probably be back.Special Features:
- Excellent Food, Lengthy Dining Exp.EmilyBDined on 7/21/2014The Refectory is your classic French dining experience; delicious small plates bursting with flavor, with lengthy intervals between each. I can't say enough about their scallops, most definitely the best I have had. Their wine list is extensive, and the staff very knowledgeable about each. If you are in the mood for a three hour dinner, consisting of top quality food, I highly recommend the Refectory. If you are looking for a large plate in short order, I would suggest finding an alternative venue.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

I guess that's what happens when you try to bake a cake an hour before Shabbos. You're likely to miss at least one or two things. Lucky for me, I realized halfway through the baking, and simply poured the chips on top of the cake (and held my breath for the last half-hour of baking time).
1 1/2 cup sugar
1/3 cup canola oil
2 teaspoons vanilla
4 eggs
1 cup mashed ripe banana (3-4 bananas)
Heat the oven to 350*. Spray a 9x13 pan with non-stick cooking spray.
In a medium bowl (I used a stand mixer), cream together the sugar, oil, applesauce, and vanilla. Add the eggs and bananas and mix until smooth.
Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for about an hour, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool in the pan for at least an hour before serving.

Shockblast (2009)
The Joe formerly known as Shockwave for a time shared a dubious honor with the fan favorite Decepticon of the same name. Both were renamed to the much less threatening and apparently less copyright infringing name Shockblast . Doesn't exactly roll off the tongue, does it?
I'm not too excited about most of the modern versions of classic Joes, but this one has grown on me. Essentially a repaint of the blue version of the original incuded in a 25th anniversary comic pack, it's a recolor that makes sense for an urban operative. The color scheme is close to the Night Force version as well. The parts choices for the most part get along well, although the arms don't have the greatest range of motion. That's a weakness of the base Cobra Trooper, an early 25th mold.
Thanks to that same base figure, as well as the 25th Snow Job, this is one figure that maintains actual human proportions, something even the vintage version lacked, with its melon head.
Weapon selection is paltry. His only rifle is a tactical shotgun, a natural inclusion for a SWAT guy, but a disappointment considering the number of automatic rifle molds available. Shockblast didn't get short shrift in the headgear department however, as he includes not only the classic cap, but a combat helmet and gas mask as well.
Related Posts
I like this one a lot – it fits in better with the rest of the Joes, IMO.
I just wish he'd had some of the newer holsters. Those massive things come close to ruining the clean lines of the figure (same thing happened to Wild Bill).
(I'm so used to seeing him with one of Marauder Inc's riot shields that I forgot he didn't come with it.,)

Alternatively Speaking: Kidney stones
By NATALIE MARX
05/31/2012 16:09
Alternative medicine enthusiast Natalie Marx answers your questions: Any alternative remedies to help with kidney stones?
Kidney stones
Photo: Thinkstock
Q. Dear Natalie, I am suffering from kidney stones and my doctor has agreed for me to try the 'alternative' medicine route. Are there any herbs or supplements you can recommend to heal and also to prevent the development of recurring stones?
A. Herbs have a long history of relieving the pain and helping your body pass kidney stones. Marshmallow root contains mucilages that soothe and protect tissues which become irritated and inflamed. These mucilages form a coating along the urinary tract to protect against damage from the passing kidney stone. Dr. James F. Balch and Phyllis A. Balch state that a quart of marshmallow root tea daily helps to cleanse the kidneys and eliminate stones.
The aerial parts and seeds of the wild carrot are frequently used to treat kidney and bladder disorders, especially kidney stones. The plant has diuretic leaves and antispasmodic properties. The seeds or leaves from which you can make a tea with contain flavonoids, alkaloids and volatile oil, all of which help to dissolve kidney stones. The herb will also help prevent the development of recurring stones. The fresh plant may cause photosensitivity.
Finally, a wonderful herb known as gravel root can also help and is identifiable for its beautiful lavender flowers. Herbalists use the roots of this plant to treat kidney stones. Active ingredients include volatile oil, flavonoids and resin, and the herb has diuretic properties. You can combine a tincture of gravel root with the tinctures of wild yam, corn silk or black haw to reduce inflammation in the urinary tract and therefore reduce the pain from the muscle spasms in the urinary tract to allow the stones to pass.
Q. Natalie, which foods are recommended for dispelling kidney stones?
A. According to the National Kidney and Urologic Diseases Information Clearinghouse, diet is one of many important factors that may reduce or promote kidney stone formation. Therefore, changing your diet will help significantly in preventing stones from forming in the first place, increasing in size or causing pain. Make sure to drink large amounts of fluids. This helps to keep your urine diluted and helps flush out materials that may form into kidney stones. Drink water throughout the day.
Avoid grapefruit juice and dark-colored sodas, which may make symptoms worse. Try to increase your intake of whole grains. Wheat and rye bran contain a compound known as phytate which helps prevent the formation of oxalate and phosphate stones. Any fiber-rich foods in general will help to reduce your symptoms. Switch your white bread and pasta for 100 percent whole wheat or rice-based breads and pasta and bran flakes. You can also include oatmeal and pearled barley since they too provide valuable amounts of fiber.
Try to choose a low-sodium diet. Limit your meat intake and replace your diet with legumes instead to ensure you have sufficient protein. Beans, lentils and split peas contain quite a lot more protein than other plant-derived foods. Meats which are very rich in sodium include sausage, salami and other smoked and processed meats. Experiment with tasty alternatives such as black bean burgers or pea and lentil soup, unsalted edamame and baked or steamed tofu. An excellent source of protein to include in your diet is cold-water fish, such as salmon, herring, tuna, mackerel and trout. These are all good sources of omega-3 fatty acids which will help reduce the inflammation. Try some low-sodium seasoning varieties such as lemon juice and natural herbs and spices.
The NKUDIC recommends aiming for 800 mg of calcium from dietary sources daily for kidney stone prevention and to maintain bone density. This should come from calcium-rich foods and not calcium supplements. Foods rich in calcium include low-fat yogurt, mozzarella cheese, tofu, leafy greens, almonds, fortified orange juice, soy milk and breakfast cereals. The compound citrate helps inhibit the formation of calcium stones. Citrus fruits such as oranges, lemons and limes contain high levels of citrate. Try to drink two to three glasses of lemonade or diluted orange juice a day.
Q. Hi Natalie, my mother and father have both suffered from kidney stones in the past. Which foods should I avoid if I have a tendency to get kidney stones?
A. Two of the four types of kidney stones are related to diet: calcium stones and uric acid stones. Different foods also form different types of stones. You can begin by reducing your salt intake. Salt causes extra calcium to be excreted into the urine, where it can combine with oxalate or phosphorus to form calcium stones. Check how much of your diet is of processed foods because they tend to be high in salt.
Try to cut back on hot dogs, canned food, frozen meals, tomato juice and fast food. If there's a tendency or history of calcium oxalate stones, you should reduce the amount of oxalate-rich foods you consume. Oxalate is found in squash, wheat bran, rhubarb, tomato soup, tea, currants, canned fruit salad, sweet potatoes, instant coffee, strawberries, spinach, beets, leeks, tofu, nuts and chocolate. Too much animal protein from meat, fish and poultry can increase your risk of both calcium and uric acid stones. According to the NKUDIC, those who form uric acid stones should limit their meat consumption to 6 oz. a day. To avoid uric acid stones, limit foods which are high in purine. These include organ meats such as liver or kidneys, alcohol, herring and anchovies. Spinach, asparagus and yeast are also quite high in purine.
Oxalate, or oxalic acid, is in plant foods and combines with calcium to form calcium-oxalate stones. Research suggests that oxalate, which is in plant foods, combines with calcium to form calcium-oxulate stones. If one has a medical history of this it's recommended to consume less than 50mg of oxalate a day and limit foods high in oxalate. The foods with the most oxalate and known to aggravate kidney stones include chocolate, wheat bran, nuts, rhubarb, spinach, beets, tea and strawberries. Other oxalate foods include bran cereals, berries, figs, citrus peels, kiwis, tangerines, green leafy vegetables, olives, beans, parsley, zucchini, potatoes and sweet potatoes, peppers, eggplant, marmalade and soy sauce.

That's one long-time ally – Crist – and two enemies.
Greer, his lawyer said, was the victim of right-wing conservatives who turned against Crist – the man who picked Greer to head the state party – and decided to punish the governor by ruining Greer.
"I believe we'll be able to prove Jim Greer is not guilty whatsoever," said Mason.
Greer, 48, of Oviedo, was indicted in May by a statewide grand jury that charged him with six felonies, including theft, organized fraud and money laundering. Records released by the Florida Department of Law Enforcement and Office of Statewide Prosecution accuse Greer of funneling $125,000 from the state party into personal bank accounts.
Greer was not at Monday's Orlando news conference, and Mason would not discuss the evidence against his client, much of which splashed into the news last week as prosecutors released to the public hundreds of pages of documents - the core of their case.
What the state must prove is that Greer set out to cheat and steal from the Republican Party of Florida. Prosecutors allege he did that by ousting the party's $30,000-a-month fundraiser, Meredith O'Rourke, and turning over fundraising to a company he had secretly set up: Victory Strategies LLC.
The party paid it a 10-percent commission on all major party donations. Greer, as majority owner, wound up with most of its revenue.
Key to the criminal case is who within the state party knew about Victory Strategies, its tie to Greer and when.
Greer's attorneys have repeatedly said party leaders knew about the company, but in prosecution paperwork released last week, nearly three dozen party executive board members – including its treasurer and general counsel - told FDLE they didn't know that Victory Strategies existed until December or January.
That was 10 months after Greer, as chairman, signed paperwork, authorizing payments to Victory Strategies and after $200,000 in party funds had been paid, according to prosecution paperwork.
Greer's attorneys have, for weeks, said the money paid Victory Strategies were earned commissions. Prosecutors, though, alleged that much of it was not.
According to state evidence, on Sept. 10, the party paid Victory $30,000 for polling that was never done in the Crist- Marco Rubio U.S. Senate race.
Mason on Monday said Greer "rejected the payment for that."
But according to prosecution paperwork, the same day the party paid for that polling, Victory gave Greer a $25,000 check, and the following day, Greer deposited it into his personal account.
Greer left his job in January, already under pressure following revelations about extravagant credit card spending by him, his staff and GOP politicians who were given party American Express cards. They spent $7 million in three years, including for such things as limos, out-of-state travel and dinners at posh restaurants.
Greer resigned and signed a $123,000 severance contract. In April, he filed suit in state circuiit court in Sanford, accusing the party and Thrasher of pretending the contract did not exist. The people who reneged on the deal, his suit alleges, are Thrasher, Cannon and Haridopolos.
Party lawyers say the severance contract was never valid.

What about brake fluid which is said to be incompressible. When I push down the brake pedal, the master cylindre pushes the brake liquid inside the hoses which tightens the brakes immediately? So what is the speed of propagation in this scenario if it cannot be faster than c even though brake fluid seems incompressible?
Professor Brian DeMarco received his B.A. in physics, with a mathematics minor, from the State University of New York at Geneseo in 1996, graduating summa cum laude. As an undergraduate researcher, he worked on calibrating and developing neutron detectors for laser driven inertial confinement fusion experiments at the Lab for Laser Energetics.
He earned a Ph.D. in physics from the University of Colorado at Boulder (2001), where he extended magnetic trapping and evaporative cooling techniques to create the first quantum degenerate Fermi gas of atoms. This achievement merited Science magazine's imprimatur as one of the top ten scientific discoveries of 1999 and earned DeMarco the first JILA Scientific Achievement Award. In 2002, he received the American Physical Society's Division of Atomic, Molecular, and Optical Physics Thesis Award.
From 2001-2003, he was a National Research Council postdoctoral research fellow, working with David Wineland at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (Boulder) on quantum computing experiments with trapped atomic ions. DeMarco's work with the Ion Storage Group focused on developing improved quantum logic elements and "scaling-up" the complexity of quantum information processing tasks with trapped ions.
Professor DeMarco joined the Department of Physics at Illinois in August 2003. In October 2005, he was among 18 young physics researchers selected as finalists in a global competition to participate in Amazing Light: Visions for Discovery, an international symposium focused on exploring and advancing innovative research in physics and astronomy inspired by, and honoring the leadership and vision of, Charles Townes, winner of the 1964 Nobel Prize in physics. The symposium brought together renowned scholars and researchers, including 20 Nobel laureates, to explore the extraordinary challenges of 21st Century physics and cosmology. DeMarco won first place in the Quantum Physics category for his research aimed at realizing quantum simulation using atoms trapped in an optical lattice.
Prof. DeMarco is the recipient of an NSF CAREER award, ONR Young Investigator award, and a Sloan Foundation Fellowship.
Prof. DeMarco currently serves on the DAMOP Executive Committee, the review panel for NRC postdoctoral fellowships, and the National Academy of Science's Committee on Atomic, Molecular, and Optical Physics (CAMOS).

Qualitative Survey Responses and Production over the Business Cycle
AbstractAn examination of Swedish manufacturing data on real output and qualitative business tendency survey (BTS) responses from 1968 through 1998 reveals that survey-based attitude data typically improve the fit of simple autoprojective models of manufacturing output growth. It also turns out that traditional autoregressive distributed lag (ADL) models based on business survey data can provide more accurate one-quarter-ahead forecasts of output growth than naive alternatives. Another finding is that when BTS variables concerning ex post (ex ante) output growth are included in the empirical specifications, then no other ex post (ex ante) business survey variables seems to include any additional information about output growth.

This is real eye candy. Beautiful! Ev eryone that comes in comments on it. I read other reviews that said it was flimsey....well I don't know what to tell you...it's huge and I found my cat sitting on top of it!! I almost had a heart attack, but it was sturdy enough that he didn't knock it over!! I just don't know how he got up there!!
After reading the rave reviews, I was pretty sure I'd like this lamp. After I received it I could believe how beautiful and well made it is, not to mention it is very heavy and solid in weight. It creates a very warm glow to the room when you want light, but not bright light. I purchased 2 of these, they look gorgeous on both sides of my black leather couch. I would consider these lamps more like art pieces. The sculpted woman morphs beautifully on the base. I am more then pleased with this purchase!
I admired this lamp for weeks and read the reviews, and the lamp arrived today. I must admit, the lamp is breathtaking! It is truly a work of art, and the light it illuminates is just right (I put in 2- 25 watt bulbs). The blue and purple glass compliments the green and white colors. As many reviewers wrote, this is large lamp. However, it make a silent majestic statement, such as, "look at me and marvel at my beauty." This lamp is definitely a keeper! My recommendation is to buy the lamp!
Oh my gosh, what can I say. These lamps are absolutely stunning. I still in disbelief over the low price. I bought a pair to place on my fireplace mantel because my former lamps although beautiful, were uncomfortable to our eyes. I wanted light without the glare. What I have gotten from these lamps is simple elegance and eye comfort. The lamps glow softly while providing enough light to read with. Sometimes I just sit in my living room and enjoy the ambience. What a find!
my lamp arrived yesterday, once i opened the box it seemed as if it was someone's reject. there was styrofoam pieces everywhere, no instructions or return info. after spending almost an hour, and breaking two fingernails, trying to assemble it i realized that the stained glass dome or the metal ring that holds it together or both were warped. also the rod that attaches to the base was too short. I have ordered other lamps from Overstock.com and i have never had a problem. i called and i am awaiting return instructions. i am sure that the lamp is beautiful, quite large and showy, but beware of quality control.
I bought this lamp as a housewarming gift. The lady of the house loved it. It has such pretty colors in it. I only had one complaint the two pieces don't fit together as good as I would have liked. Other than that it was easy to put together. It is a really large lamp and makes a statement in the room.
Very good price and excellent quality in this piece. The design is unique and the colors are vibrant. If you're on the fence about this one, jump down and run to the phone...
This was a beautiful lamp-very well packed and impressive looking. However, I spent a night trying to put it together without success. It didn't come with instructions but I thought I could figure it out. After some hours and searching for instructions online, I came across the review here that someone mentioned the bar connecting the top and bottom was too short! I hit myself in the head and repacked it up again. Cudos to Overstock.com for taking it back with no expense to me. Thank you!
well, the lamp is much bigger than it looked to me in the picture. I'm not sure if I really like it or I think it's ugly, so I can't write a good or a negative review. I'm keeping the lamp. My husband hated it so its in my boudoir now.
My globe light is still spectacular, but it does not look like the picture. Mine looks much lighter in color, the white parts are bigger than the picture. It is MUCH bigger than I was expecting. It is huge. That's probably one reason it is so breathtaking. Everyone who has seen it has gasped, that's how stunning this lamp is. An absolute must have for the collector.

There are park alerts in effect.hide Alerts »
Trail Advisory
Several trails in the park are temporarily closed. Please check the "Backcountry Facilities" section of the Temporary Road and Facilities Closures page for further details. More »
Avoiding the Crowds
Great Smoky Mountains National Park is America's most visited national park. The park receives approximately nine million visits per year. However, even in the Smokies it is possible to find solitude. Here are some practical tips for avoiding the crowds.
Visit during the "off season." There are two peak seasons in the Smokies, mid-summer (June 15-August 15) and the entire month of October. Weekends in October are especially crowded, and traffic delays should be expected.
Tour early in the day. Visitors can avoid the crowds by traveling early in the day. Most people tour the park from 10:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m.
Visit an "off the beaten path" destination in the park. The Cades Cove Loop Road and Newfound Gap Road are the most heavily used areas of the park and are busy year-round. Many lesser-used places are waiting to be explored. These include Abrams Creek, Balsam Mountain, Cosby, Fontana Lake, Greenbrier Cove, Heintooga Ridge Road, and Foothills Parkway east and west.
Did You Know?
The wispy, smoke-like fog that hangs over the Smoky Mountains comes from rain and evaporation from trees. On the high peaks of the Smokies, an average of 85 inches of rain falls each year, qualifying these upper elevation areas as temperate rain forests. More...

Cortney Casey is appealing her last title loss at XFC 26. Says opponent Pearl Gonzalez's was using a slick spray tan.
Didn't see the fight but sounds like a lame excuse. Accept the loss.
You may now proceed to spend months training, take an unpenalized kick to the groin, and get armbared by a greased up guy.
Until then, you can enjoy being dismissed with the same neglect you commented with.
Everyone looking for an edge. Why isnt this caught by the organizations though? I dont understand. This and other forms of cheating is ruining sports. I dont want to watch support or celebrate anyone who is cheating. Show me natural talent character or heart and then I will cheer you
Well we don't know if they intended to cheat or not. We also don't know if it was slippery or had an effect on the outcome. Rematch is the easiest way to rectify this.
Hmmmmm are you sure her name is not Courtney Tate> I mean with all the excuse making I would think she was at least Meisha's cousin or sister. Meisha started at the post presser of the Cat fight and was running with the illegal knee and when she found out it was legal she went with the ref stopping it early and still to this day claims that. Cat was caving her fu cking face in and the ref probably stopped her from having plastic surgery because her face looked like she stuck it in a hornets nest. When they wipe vasoline on their face at the beginning that s*** gets on the gloves from punching the the body from grappling and during a 5 rd fight that s*** will be all over both fighters by the end just what little they put on their face so god damn don't take the girls glory with a bull s_hit excuse. The girl can't even enjoy her win because now everybody thinks she cheated because of a excuse making sore loser. The s*** might even make her slick =but not like the Vaseline that goes from their face to all over them.

Tyson Fury (21(15)-0(0)-0) - Height 6'9'' - Reach 85'' - 25 years old
Joey Abell (29(28)-7(5)-0) - Height 6'4'' - Reach 76'' - 32 years old
The UK's huge heavyweight Tyson Fury is fighting for the first time in almost a year after numerous postponements and cancellations, taking on the USA's Joey Abell on February 15.
Fury is well known in his homeland for his size and massive reach, and he will dominate this opponent in both those departments again.
Abell has spent most of his career fighting beneath world level but recently he has taken on Chris Arreola and Kubrat Pulev. Both of those men defeated Abell comfortably, by stoppage, in the first half of the fight but Fury is believed to possess more power than both Arreola and Pulev.
Abell has an incredible ko rate in fights he has won, and Fury has been put on his backside by Nevan Pajkic and, in his most recent fight, against Steve Cunningham, but Fury has always got up to win the fight.
