may be added, which micronutrients may be added, and the level to which they may be added. This is an example of a "positive listing" approach. These regulations apply to all food sold in Canada.
When vitamins became available for addition to food, no regulatory controls were in place. Concern about fraudulent practices in the addition of vitamins to food led the government to set minimum levels for this addition in 1942, followed in 1949 with maximum levels (Cheney and Lee, 1994). Newfoundland had required the enrichment of flour since 1944, and following the entry of Newfoundland into the Canadian Confederation, the standard for flour was amended to permit the same nutrient enrichment (Health Canada, 1999).
The Canadian government has used mandatory fortification to address documented deficiencies. Iodinization of salt, which became mandatory in 1949, virtually eliminated goiter throughout the country; a highly targeted approach to vitamin D fortification turned around a widespread problem with rickets (Cheney and Lee, 1994; Health Canada, 1999). In particular, Canada's experience with a high incidence of severe rickets and death from vitamin D deficiency is cited as an example of how thoughtful, full-coverage fortification of a targeted food category can address a widespread deficiency. In the 1940s and 1950s all unstandardized food could be fortified within the specified minimum and maximum levels of vitamin D. While rickets continued to be documented in infants and young children, one survey indicated that some of the young children in Ontario were consuming very high levels of vitamin D from supplements and food (Broadfoot et al., 1966). Nationwide food-intake surveys had not been conducted at that time, but concern about the apparent contradictions related to vitamin D status (very high intakes at the same time as a continuing problem of rickets) led in 1964 to the present controls on the addition of vitamins and minerals to food (Cheney and Lee, 1994). Although the addition of vitamin D to evaporated and dried milks had been permitted since 1950, the change in the regulations in 1964, which led to cessation of vitamin D fortification of many food products, resulted in an increase in rickets (Cheney and Lee, 1994; Health Canada, 1999). Health Canada attributes this rise to its overlooking "a fundamental principle of food fortification—the selection of an appropriate vehicle to reach the target population" (Health Canada, 1999, p. 6). In the case of vitamin D, while evaporated and powdered milk was fortified, fluid milk was not. The regulations were amended in 1965 to include fluid milk, and rickets cases began to decline. Educational campaigns in the late 1960s, coupled with a further broadening of the

It's been a while since I've given you guys an update on the Iowa Baseball team. Well, these guys deserve one because they continue to play great baseball. And it starts with balance.
Day-in-and-day-out it seems like a new Hawkeye is stepping up and making big plays happen for the Hawkeyes. When I last reported, Iowa was 9-4 and riding a three game losing streak. Since dropping three games in Manhattan to the Kansas State Wildcats, the Hawkeyes are 5-2 with one game being cancelled.
Two weekends ago they were down in Port Charlotte, Florida for another Snowbird. Iowa left Florida with a 3-1 record and scored 40 runs over the course of the weekend. Iowa took down Georgetown on Saturday by a score of 13-1, Tyler Peyton and Taylor Zeutenhorst led the charge offensively as they both recorded 3 hits and 3 RBI's. Calvin Matthews was once again sensational on the mound; he tossed 8 innings, gave up 3 hits, and had 9 strikeouts.
Saturday, the Hawkeyes split two games against Saint Josephs and Georgetown. They took down St. Joe by a score of 9-7; Jake Mangler led the way for the Hawkeyes with 3 hits, 2 runs, and 2 RBI's, however the Hawkeyes would then lose to Georgetown 10-1 in five innings.
Iowa was scorching hot on Sunday against Otterbein, they tallied 17 runs – 10 in one inning – on their way to a 17-5 victory. Zeutenhorst was again outstanding with 3 hits and 4 RBI's. Sasha Keubel was tossing nasty stuff on the mound; he went 7 innings, gave up 6 hits, and 3 earned runs.
Iowa's home opener that would've taken place last Wednesday against Mount Mercy, was cancelled due to the field conditions.
This past weekend, the groundskeepers were able to get the field in good enough shape for Iowa's opening Big Ten series against the Nebraska Cornhuskers.
Iowa took game one on a game winning RBI single to left field by senior Trevor Kenyon. Matthews was once again phenomenal; he went 8 innings, gave up six hits, and 1 earned run. Iowa lost game two by a score of 5-1, Dan Potempa paced the Hawkeyes with 3 hits in 4 trips.
Sunday rolled along and the Hawkeyes were looking for the series win. Well, they'd get it behind the sticks of Mangler and Potempa. The pair combined for six hits and five RBI's in Iowa's 8-4 win.
Iowa's next game will be on Wednesday when they welcome in the Bradley Braves. First pitch is set for 3:00 p.m. CT.

Why I'm Not Religious
This article from Scientific American frustrates me a little because it's about interesting topics, but they only skate the surface and it sounds more like conjecture than a supportable argument.

Choosing a lipstick that works with dark skin tones can feel like a challenge. It may seem easier to stick to the plum and berry shades you know look fantastic with your complexion, instead of worrying about whether you can pull off an orange lip. (Spoiler alert: you definitely can.) But makeup --and lipstick especially, in our opinion -- should be fun, and more about what makes you feel gorgeous than sticking to a set of rules. In fact, celebrity makeup artist Nick Barose says that color-wise, lipstick options are practically limitless for dark-skinned women. We got his tips on how to wear any lipstick color with a dark complexion -- think vibrant violets, dreamy nudes, bold reds that work day and night and even an on-trend ombre look that's surprisingly easy to pull off. read more

Switching out your boring neutral eyeliners for megawatt shades of electric purple, neon green and cobalt blue may feel out of your comfort zone, but we're here to prove otherwise. These stunning summer makeup looks are completely wearable, as long as you're applying your liquid eyeliner correctly -- which is why we enlisted the help of lead Stila makeup artist Sarah Lucero, who gave us her makeup tips for pulling off these daring shades, along with the best type of eyeliner to use for each one. read more
They balk at eyeliner and tear up at the sight of eye shadow. And don't even think about going near them with mascara. If you've got sensitive eyes, chances are you have a love/hate relationship with your eye makeup. Sure, that cult-classic mascara may get you bold, beautiful lashes, but if it's causing your eyes to flip out, it just isn't worth it. So we enlisted the help of New York-based optometrist Dr. Dori Wolf, who sees patients with swollen, red, itchy and flaky eyes on the daily (she estimates that around 35 percent of her patients have these symptoms), She spilled her tips on the makeup that won't send your eyes into a tizzy. But before we even get into the cosmetic side of things, her first recommendation: Pop a daily omega-3 fatty acid supplement (otherwise known as fish oil). It reduces inflammation in the body and, in turn, help keep eyes moistened and comfy. read more

text: I was contimplaiting a project and it just dawned on me that something used in it is also used as a piece of Ansteorran regalia, it is a thistle from a Scottish coin and yes my absentmindedness is astounding. What exactly is the rule on using things that were used in period, but are also used in regalia? Is it ok to make them with appropriate documentation, but they can only be used by someone who has the right to bear that thing? Can you only do it if the person who uses it has the rights to wear that piece of regalia? If so, how about where cultures/kingdoms are next to each other? And people who move from one kingdom to another, do they stop wearing pieces they had had in another kingdom that wern't attached to any regalia? How about on people's arms? I make it to things in about equal number in Ansteorra and Calontir and this has been perplexing me. I have always been interested in this, expecially in cases such as the proper garb accutraments weren't appropriate because of belt color and issues like that. Looking forward to the discussion, Susan the Curious

This is probably one of the most debated topics among not only fans but snarky Disney movie watchers who just want to be snarky.
There is a difference between a "Disney Princess" and a princess in a Disney movie.
"Disney Princesses" is a franchise made by the Walt Disney Company. It plays a major role in marketing and merchandise. It's formed in 2000 and practically saved the company in the stores sales department, making the dolls and costumes finally easily accessible to all who could visit their local mall.
Pictured in the advertisements back in 2000 were eight Disney heroines; Snow White, Aurora, Cinderella, Ariel, Belle, and Jasmine, all titled princess in their movies, as well as Pocahontas and Mulan. The excuse for Pocahontas has been made that she was a princess of her tribe. This does not apply to this specific tribe. Pocahontas' father was chief, it does not mean she is a princess. There's no excuse for Mulan, her parents aren't royal, her husband isn't royal. She is somewhat 'knighted' someone has pointed out but it doesn't the respect of the emperor does not make her his daughter.
So there's no excuse but there is a reason. This group is dubbed "Disney Princesses" because of who they are, not what they are. It was decided that these were the female faces of the company they wanted to push forward and were the best role models and the most beloved. Why not Alice, Wendy, Maid Marian, Eilonwy, Jenny, Penny, Esmeralda, Meg or Jane? I can't answer that. While most of these heroines display at least grace, generosity, kindness, bravery or other qualities we respect in the "Disney Princesses" line up they were not chosen to represent the company.
Between 1998 and 2009 the line up has not changed. Sometimes it featured Alice. The reason behind this I can only assume is the same reason Kida was not added to the list despite being an actual princess of her people. You can't deny that Alice in Wonderland is one of if not the most trendiest and popular of the 50 Disney animated features. Adding another "princess", an extremely popular one from an extremely popular movie among the teens and up branched out to more people. Who wouldn't want that? And you can't deny that there's a large chunk of people out there who did not go see Atlantis. I don't blame them for adding Alice into the imagery every now and then.
Only in 2009 when Disney gave us a new musical princess did we get a new "Disney Princess". In October there will be official 10 "Disney Princesses" in the franchise, Rapunzel who they claim to be the last. That's a good number to end on. Merida is way too cool, anyway, I'm sure she doesn't feel snubbed.
Alright, I have a sister. I've seen A Little Princess a bizillion times. All women are princesses. What the Disney Princess franchise really translates to is "The Popular Disney Female Role Models". They're princesses because Disney considers them to be, just like you consider your daughters and little sisters when they're in and out of their princess costumes. Disney calls it "princesses" because it sounds a lot more magical than "role models", don't you agree?
For the sake clearing it all up, whether they're royal by your standards, Disney's standards or just their people's… here's some lists:
(Some princes and princesses BECOME kings and queens, but are listed only once. Disney home entertainment movies are included. I'm human forgive me if I skipped someone.)
Disney "Princesses"
Disney Princesses
Disney Princes
Disney Queens
Disney Kings
this. this. this.

The suspects in the death of State Trooper Paul Butterfield will find out if they'll stand trial October 11.
That's when preliminary exams will be held for Eric and Sarah Knysz.
Eric Knysz is charged with shooting Trooper Butterfield. His wife is charged with helping him escape.
Butterfield died shortly after he was found by the side of the road in Mason County on September 9.
Investigators believe he had pulled over the suspects. They aren't saying why they think Knysz pulled a gun.
Knysz also faces weapons, theft, and assault charges.
We'll let you know if the judge decides there's enough evidence to put the couple on trial.

Hello Friday. And hello March. While you've been disappointingly snowy so far, I'm still holding out hope that the rest of the month will finally bring us the long awaited spring weather this city is in desperate need of. Even more exciting – DAYLIGHT SAVINGS TIME returns on Sunday. I know this kinda sucks because we lose an hour of sleep, BUT it means we get daylight and sunshine and evenings back. It means the good times are truly almost here. There's nothing more depressing to me than it getting dark at 5pm, since, when given the option, I don't wake up before noon. #nightowllife.
Anyhow, do you have any fun plans for the weekend? My weekly column over at dose has a few suggestions for those of you in Toronto. Personally, I'm heading to the ballet for the first time ever for the opening night of Swan Lake. Very excited! I've been to the Opera and the Symphony a few times, so this is my last step in fully embracing grown up art. And the movie Black Swan will finally make perfect sense to me.
Also – FYI, I have a couple vinyl giveaways coming up for both Broken Bells and my favourite, Bruce Springsteen! Stay tuned.
Now, for the link love:
- Olivia Chow all set to enter Toronto mayoral race YESSSS. YESSSSS!!@!@@! I was actually starting to get a little worried that she might not run because she's waited so long (and she still hasn't made it official by any means), but as they detail in the article, it's a smart strategy. I love her almost as much as I love my own mother. Part of the reason Jack was so incredible was because she was by his side. Living in her ward is truly a privilege, and I am more than willing to volunteer for her campaign. There is NO ONE ELSE in this world I'd rather have running Toronto, and she is by far the person most capable of repairing all the damage Ford has done.
- Which '90s Indie Band Are You? I got Sonic Youth, which is cool with me.
- Big Star's Alex Chilton Wrote the Script for Every Indie-Rock Recluse He sure did. That's why The Replacements wrote a song about him.
- The Hipster Music Index Heh. Arcade Fire was definitely thrown off the 'hip' bandwagon after winning a Grammy, no one can contest that.
- 10 Great Cover Songs from the Paste Vault I love a good cover.
- The Secret to Creativity: Being Able to Make Connections This concept makes perfect sense. It's why Evernote is my saviour.
- 10 Ways To Share Your Creativity & Get Discovered A really great read if you ever feel awkward about self promoting/pimping your work. Useful tips.
- How to Make It as a Freelance Entrepreneur Very very good advice for you freelancers.
- 16 Things Every Leader Should Know
- YouTube's Parity Problem, or Why a Billion Isn't That Impressive So it goes. This is the new music industry.
- The 11 Smartest Girls In Comedy This list is true greatness. Get to know and love every single one of them. Speaking of funny ladies – Lena Dunham is hosting SNL this weekend! My PVR is set.
- Passenger's sexist note left on WestJet flight stirs pilot's heated response And while I just got you pumped up with that awesome 'yes. women are funny' article – here is something to help you know there are still sad little men like this in the world that need to be castrated.
- Travoltify Your Name! Hahahhah. Travolta's butchering of Idina Menzel's name at the Oscars has now spawned its own widget. For the record, my Travoltified name is Leona Leeee. Not bad actually. I might use it as a pen name one day.
- Finally, if you were one of those kids who, like me, always wanted a hoverboard – your dream is (not) coming true. But this is a very smart (if misleading) viral marketing campaign:
All right, so – as the Putin link below explains – I've been trying not to give too much attention to the Olympics this year because I'm incredibly disgusted with the politics of Russia, and I think it's a travesty that the IOC allowed such a brutal place to host these games. But, with that said, even I can't deny my Canadian pride after that incredible nail biter of a game the Canadian women's hockey team won yesterday. I only tuned in for the last 5 minutes of overtime, but damn – it was worth it. That has to be one of the greatest comebacks in hockey history.
There is a point where you have to separate the athletes from the politics, and acknowledge that it's not fair to rob them of their one moment after 4 years of hard work because of the IOC's massive mistake.
With that said, here are this week's links:
- Q&A: Broken Social Scene Frontman Kevin Drew On His New Solo Album Definitely worth a read.
- IKEA's Expedit line is biting the dust, and vinyl nuts aren't happy about it This is sad, but I won't complain until I see what the new replacements actually look like in real life. They just might be prettier.
- 5 Ways to Get Up to Speed on Anything, Fast Good advice.
- ARCHISET: An Illustrated Tribute to the Interiors of Classic Cinema If you dig film as much as I do, you'll love this.
- CONTACT Turns Any Table Into A Musical Instrument This is pretty cool.
- Massive Attack's 'Teardrop' performed with eggplant, grapes, and MaKey MaKey As is this. I love it when artists get creative with their instruments.
- 7 Habits of Incredibly Happy People The point about spending money on experiences rather than things is something I've found to be incredibly true. The more I'm out experiencing life and new things/people/places, the happier I am.
- Victim gets revenge on rapist by setting him on fire This has to be the best response to victim blaming and that horrific thing coined as 'rape culture' that I've ever seen.
- Putin Plays the World for Suckers, and Wins UGH. This guy is one twisted dictator. We think RoFo is bad, but at least he's no Putin.
- Finally, watch Pussy Riot's video for "Putin Will Teach You How To Love" aka the thing they were making when they were publicly WHIPPED by a bunch of Putin's men for making music in the street. If you've ever wanted to see women whipped by men in a very non consensual, horrific way – check it out below. This is the country that is currently hosting the world. Shameful. Why didn't the IOC let Iraq host the games in 2004? Not much difference.
Hey! Okay, I know TGIF hasn't seen the light of day in a very long time – I was spending all my time building someone else's dream which meant ignoring mine – but the universe was like – no girl, stop that shit right now – forcing me to smarten up, so I am excited to say that, yes, we're back!
That means this post is gigantic because even though I didn't have time to blog it – I was still keeping up with the times. So here is many weeks worth of TGIF rolled into one epic post.
- Bob Dylan's 'Like a Rolling Stone' Gets Star-Studded Interactive Video This has to be my favourite video from 2013.
- Listen: The Velvet Underground's unreleased song "I'm Not a Young Man Anymore" What a gift to hear this after Lou left us.
- Sleater-Kinney Reunite Onstage With Pearl Jam In Portland Um, how awesome was this? Super jealous of everyone who witnessed it.
- Toronto voted "most youthful city" in the world Not surprising, this is definitely a young person's city. Very cool that we beat out every other awesome city in the world.
- 5 Small Toronto Venues with Big Reputations I have massive love for all 5 of these venues.
- The Americas: Uncool Canada Because I can't only share happy news – here's a dose of economic reality.
- The rise, fall and rise again of Rough Trade Records
- Stop Trying To be Happy Aka why do humans over-complicate things so much?
- 10 Rules for Brilliant Women "Filter advice. Most brilliant women are humble and open to guidance. We want to gather feedback and advice. Fine, but recognize that some people won't understand what you are up to (often because you are saying something new and ahead of your time). Some people will find you to be not their cup of tea. Some will feel threatened. Some people will want to do with your idea only what is interesting or helpful to them. So interpret feedback carefully. Test advice and evaluate the results, rather than following it wholesale." I've recently come to understand this truth in a big way.
- Deformed Freak Born Without Penis Oh the Onion, I can always count on you to make me laugh.
- 5 Steps To Getting Rid Of Stress And Anxiety Very solid advice.
- Why Women Aren't Welcome on the Internet This article is so scary, yet not at all surprising. Read YouTube comments on almost any video and you'll understand.
- Here's Why You Should be Upset about Mindy Kaling's Elle Cover, even if She Isn't Love this. Love that she wasn't upset by it – she's living the dream and she loves herself and nothing like this could rob that from her – but for the rest of the world, we need to start seeing bodies of women that don't have a personal trainer on the covers of magazines – not just their pretty faces. And this is why we all love Lena Dunham so much.
- 'Too Much Estrogen': The Golden Globes, Chris Christie and Men Who Don't Want to Share Culture Continuing on the horribly sexist trend that seems to be in full bloom now that women are starting to rule TV, this article is a MUST read. If you only read one link this week, make it this.
- The History of Tina and Amy's Best Friendship The best.
- Christine McVie to Rejoin Fleetwood Mac YES! Dreams, coming true. Did you guys see Stevie Nicks on American Horror Story the other week? Also awesome.
- Rock's Silent Majority Rules Again: Bastille will play SNL and Everywhere Else They say indie rock is dead – and it's certainly not the big thing anymore, but this article proves that yet again, no form of music ever really dies.
- Shut Your Dumb, Stupid Mouth about the Beatles Being Overrated But really. It has to be THEE most annoying thing 'controversial' people ever say.
- Ticketmaster, Your Awful Tickets Should Look Like This PLEASE. If only they would take notice. Such awful design should not have made it past the 90s.
- Materialism: a system that eats us from the inside out A great read on why we all really need to stop buying more stuff. Sometimes people come to my house for the first time and wonder why I don't have 1000 records. In my opinion I have plenty – I own every album I truly love (any many I just kinda love/like). I'm always looking to get rid of anything I haven't used in 6 months. I hate having too much stuff. Like the article says, it drags us down, depresses us, holds us in one place. We've all seen the destructive minds of the people on the show Hoarders. Even if I don't get to travel as much as I want, I like the idea that if I wanted to just pick up and leave, I wouldn't have 500000 things to sell/store. Living light is in my opinion the definition of freedom. I am not defined by my possessions, but by my achievements and experiences.

- Genetics I kinda want to see what a split-screen of me and my dad/mom would look like so I could compare – very cool.

- 8 Quotes That Prove Adam Is The Best Character On HBO's Girls If you needed some concrete reasons as to why he is my dream man, read this. "You should never be anyone's slave." #bestline
- FaceSubstitute Is The Coolest (And Creepiest) Thing You'll See This Week This is strange, but awesome.
- Finally, this new iPad commercial is another mark of truly great advertising. Using one of the best scenes from Dead Poet's Society is a mark of sheer brilliance we've come to expect from their ads:
But seriously, this guy rules. Just another verification that Iceland is one of the best places on the planet. One day I will get there!
How is Toronto stuck with Rob Ford – the butt of every joke for comedians around the world – when other cool cities get someone this amazing? If by some dreadful twist of events, Robby wins another term, I might have to move to Reykjavik. Amazing music, scenic city, cool mayor. What more could you ask for? Sadly he is leaving office in the spring, but I have a feeling his replacement will be just as awesome.
This Rob Ford thing is so embarrassing I don't even think there's a need for me to comment on it. Luckily, that's not the only thing going on in the world.
See what else is up below:

maybe there is another problem
There just *might* be some other problem (and solution :-) at hand here. Some weeks ago I used a homemade AppleScript to create some signatures. The signatures weren't being saved, although they were created. I have *never* applied the buttons-hack. The AppleScript works 100% OK and I have been using it for quite a while. My "solution" was to manually, visually, check that signatures were created. Only then would they be saved.

The Crosses are back in book 7 of the Out of Time Series.
An old enemy returns threatening to destroy not just Simon and Elizabeth but the timeline itself. To keep that from happening, they travel back to 1888 London to find Jack the Ripper…and save his life. If he dies, the timeline changes, everything they know and their lives together, will be lost. But they soon discover the only thing harder than saving a monster is finding him.
Buy it now on...
About the Out of Time Series
Romance, adventure, mystery and time travel. Professor Simon Cross and his assistant Elizabeth West unwittingly discover a time travel device and the mysterious Council for Temporal Studies. Their adventures back in time put their wills and intellects to the test as they solve mysteries, prevent murder and perhaps even save the world. These best selling novels are available on from most major retailers in both paperback and ebook.
What People Are Saying...
"I'm not an occult fiction guy. I don't read vampire novels or zombie novels or time-travel novels. But I read Out of Time and it is such a stunning achievement of narrative, storytelling, character, and chemistry that I'm forced to go beyond my usual reading repertoire to give you a sense of its power. One of those 5-star reviewers conjured up the notion of Indiana Jones meets Dr. Who to describe one of the main characters, and the other, Elizabeth West, is a creation worthy of a contemporary Jane Austen. Monique Martin has a master's touch with an adventure yarn, so much so that the paranormal aspects of the novel seem almost, in a way, incidental.
I could go on, but all I want to do is to tell you: this is a great read that will sweep away men and women alike."

DEBATE: Are DIY Musicians Better Off in the Mp3 World?
Admit it, when you saw that headline you immediately thought: how is any musician better off in the post-mp3 realm? Everyone takes a hit in this music culture, and it's no longer a viable option to make a living strictly off music unless you're on the major festival circuit, get months of radio time and land on the cover of at least one major magazine. Everyone is making less money and it's harder for everyone to break through the noise, but while the digital space is a hardship for musicians overall, DIY musicians have more to gain in this world than the big fish.
The simple answer is that musicians have never had so many marketing tools and reservoirs of fan communities at their disposal. Big artists are improving their direct-to-fan experience, but they never really needed these social sites and interactive tools before the web was created. The web creates a slightly more fair playing field for the DIY artist who have never been more intimate with their fan base before. As we've seen over recent years, small artists can create quite a storm with a passionate niche fan base and sites like Kickstarter, Twitter, Tumblr make all the difference. You can rise and fall 50x faster on the web, and that's a lot more advantageous for baby bands than being on the big stage in the first place.

Russia's Putin warns West over missile defense: report
MOSCOW (Reuters) - Prime Minister Vladimir Putin told CNN television that Russia would deploy nuclear weapons and "strike forces" if it were shut out of a Western missile shield, adding punch to a warning from President Dmitry Medvedev.
In an interview with Larry King taped on Tuesday, Putin also said the WikiLeaks scandal was "no catastrophe" and told the United States not to meddle with Russian elections.
Putin said missile threats against Europe must be tackled jointly -- a reference to an agreement reached at a November 20 Russia-NATO summit to cooperate on missile defense. Plans are sketchy and Russia has warned it wants an equal role.
If Russia's proposals are rejected and Western missile defense installations create "additional threats" near its borders, "Russia will have to ensure its own security," he said.
Russia would "put in place new strike forces ... against the new threats which will have been created along our borders," he said, according to a translation in an excerpt on CNN's website. "New missile, nuclear technologies will be put in place."
Putin said Russia was not threatening the West, but the remarks underscored the Kremlin's insistence on maintaining a significant role in a missile defense system and suggested improving ties could sour again if agreement is not reached.
In his state of the nation address on Tuesday, Medvedev warned that a new arms race would erupt if U.S. and NATO offers of cooperation on missile defense failed to produce a concrete agreement within a decade.
"That's not our choice, we don't want that to happen. This is no threat on our part," Putin said. "We've been simply saying that this is what all of us expect to happen if we don't agree on a joint effort there."
U.S. plans for a missile shield have been a major irritant in its ties with Moscow since the Cold War. Now both Russia and the West are casting missile defense cooperation as a crucial ingredient in recipes to bring the former foes closer.
As part of a campaign to 'reset' strained relations with Moscow, President Barack Obama last year scrapped Bush-era plans for a radar and interceptor missiles in eastern Europe that Russia said would be a major threat to its security.
Russia has been far more accepting of Obama's revised blueprint, which involves shorter-range interceptors. But Putin suggested Russia would feel threatened if the United States pushes ahead without significant Russian input.
The Kremlin warnings come amid uncertainty over U.S. Senate ratification of New START, a strategic nuclear arms limitation treaty signed by Obama and Medvedev in April and seen as the linchpin of improving relations.
Russia emphasizes it could withdraw from New START if a U.S. missile shield develops into a threat to its security.
Putin's interview was conducted shortly after Medvedev delivered his biggest annual address in the Kremlin, timing that seemed to emphasize that the former president has a strong hand on Russia's reins despite now holding Russia's No. 2 office.
"I think he is underscoring for the West that he remains one of Russia's two leaders -- that he maintains serious reserves of power and would like to continue to take part in determining foreign policy," analyst Alexei Makarkin told Ekho Moskvy radio.
U.S. diplomatic cables revealed by the website WikiLeaks describe Putin as Russia's "alpha-dog" ruler and Medvedev as a sidekick-like "Robin to Putin's Batman."
In an excerpt from the interview, Putin said the WikiLeaks scandal was "no catastrophe" and that some experts believe it could have been engineered for "political purposes."
Putin steered Medvedev into the Kremlin in 2008 and has suggested he may return in a 2012 vote. He said he and Medvedev would make a "concerted decision" about who would run, CNN said.
Responding to a leaked cable citing U.S. Defense Secretary Robert Gates as portraying Russia as undemocratic, Putin said Gates was "deeply misled," CNN reported.
He said that when Russia raised shortcomings in U.S. democracy, it was told not to interfere. "I would also like to advise you, don't interfere either (with) the sovereign choice of the Russian people," CNN quoted him as saying.
(Editing by Guy Faulconbridge and Jon Boyle)
These are missle DEfense systems plain and simple. If Russia is concerned about being excluded they prove themselves to be an enemy.
There is no rule that says all allies are included in missle defense yet Russia automatically assumes it is a TARGET instead of Europe being an ally. They prove themselves to be enemies with this argument. Their concern proves that they intend or desire to threaten Europe, the beneficiary of this missle shield.
Would the US complain about Israel building a missle shield for Europe, clearly no, because we are allies. We would welcome and encourage it – this is very simple.
Russia is not an ally, do not pretend they are an ally, do not agree to reduce arms in cooperation with them. If we are able to reduce arms unilaterally lets do it – we don't need thousands of nukes – but we certainly don't need to tie ourselves to another nation to accomplish this goal. Especially one that is concerned about a protected Europe.
If you believe that a world without nukes can exist, as does Obama, then this argument is too complicated for you. If you are one of these people, ask yourself this:
If you are in a fist fight with someone and there is a stick laying on the ground, will you not pick it up to better defend yourself? Do you not have huge incentive to become more powerful instantly through a stick (or guns, or guided missles, or nuclear weapons or whatever your enemy does not have) Where will it end, who will regulated the entire world to ensure no weapons are made? How will the technology be discarded? Do we throw nuclear scientists in jail? Destroy computers with such technology on them? Its such a pipe dream…

By The Time I Get To Phoenix Lyrics - Engelbert Humperdinck
By the time I get to Phoenix she'll be rising,
She'll find the note I left hanging on the door,
She'll laugh we she reads the part that says I'm leaving,
Cause I've left that girl so many times before.
By the time I make Alberquerque she'll be working,
She'll probably stop at lunch and give me a call,
But she'll just hear the phone keep on ringing,
Off the wall....that's all.
By the time I make Oklahoma she'll be sleeping,
She'll turn softly and call my name out low,
She'll cry just to think I'd really leave her,
Though time and time I've tried to tell her,
She just didn't know...I would really go.

My mission is to educate people of all genders and sexual orientations in their pursuit of healthy, empowering, and transformative sex and relationships. I spread my pleasure-positive message through my books, videos, writing, teaching, and lectures. I am a feminist pornographer who makes porn films that are consensual, ethical, and super hot! People often label my movies "porn for women," but they are actually for anyone to enjoy who wants to see spontaneity, performers taking charge of the scenes, chemistry between players, and real female orgasms.
Catching Elephant is a theme by Andy Taylor
The first few days in Mexico City have been amazing! We arrived at the Mexico City airport, cleared customs, and made our way out to find our ride. I spotted a woman with jet black hair holding a full-sized poster of Muestra Cine y Sexo, la Mirada Femenina, the film festival and conference (which clearly says it's about women and porn)—how fabulous is that?
She escorted us to the hotel where all the out of town guests are staying: The V Motel Boutique, dubbed "the love hotel." It's super hip and modern and includes free (American) porn movies on the TV, a sex chair, a poster of various positions you can get into on said chair, as well as a "sex menu," where you can order sex toys, condoms, and lingerie via room service. It's pretty campy and fabulous.
We settled in, then headed to a bar with the other pornographers—Jennifer Lyon Bell from Amsterdam, Liandra Dahl from Australia, Ingrid Ryberg from Sweden, and Marit Ostberg from Berlin—for a pre-conference party. We met a ton of people who were so excited to meet all of us. I did a brief TV interview (!) and talked with students, professors, conference volunteers, and fans. We went back to the hotel and crashed because I had to wake up super early the next morning!
After a quick breakfast of hot cakes with honey, I met up with a filmmaker who's doing a documentary about the film festival. She had a crew of 8 people, and spent about 90 minutes interviewing me and shooting B roll.
Then, we met up with Jennifer and Liandra and headed to the Frida Kahlo Museum (also known as Casa Azul), which is in the famous blue house that she shared with Diego Rivera. The museum is full of artwork by her and Rivera, as well as photographs, personal letters, and the art they collected. Many of the rooms are set up as they were when Kahlo and Rivera lived there, with their actual furniture, art supplies, personal items, pottery collection, etc. It's a really magical place, and I am so glad I went.
In addition, there was an exhibit called "El Bano de Frida Kahlo," which featured photographs taken by Graciela Iturbide in 1995 after the bathroom of Casa Azul was reopened for the first time since Kahlo's death. She took photos of Frida's corsets/back braces, crutches, medical supplies, and one of her prosthetic legs—all placed in the bathroom. They are black and white and very spooky and emotional.
Then we walked through the Coyoacan District (coyote district) and visited a local market before we made our way to a fancy lunch location that we had picked out ahead of time. The food was great. We ordered 5 dishes to share so we could try a lot and had everything from tuna steak to shrimp tacos to shrimp rolls to duck mole to grasshopper tacos! The grasshoppers were a really fun adventure. We each only had a little and they really didn't have much taste, more of a texture experience. Now we can check that off the bucket list! We got some delicious churros from a street vendor, then headed back to the hotel.

Radish sprouts. I have a bumper crop of French Breakfast Radishes going, which I only started a week ago. I was thinning them yesterday and suddenly thought I shouldn't be tossing them away. Any salad ideas?
Something with toasted/chopped hazelnuts, crunchy apple chunks and some sort of mild cheese would be good. I'm having incomplete 'waldorf' flashes...
I love radish sprouts. I'll put them on avacado with some lemon juice and salt and pepper and I also add them as a topper on potato salad. I find they are pretty versatile.
Well played.
