Inherent promoter bidirectionality facilitates maintenance of sequence integrity and transcription of parasitic DNA in mammalian genomes
1 Chromosome and Chromatin Research, Murdoch Childrens Research Institute, Royal Children's Hospital, Parkville, Melbourne 3052, Victoria, Australia
2 Developmental Epigenetics, Murdoch Childrens Research Institute, Royal Children's Hospital, Parkville, Melbourne 3052, Victoria, Australia
3 Department of Paediatrics, University of Melbourne, Parkville, Melbourne 3052, Victoria, Australia
BMC Genomics 2009, 10:498 doi:10.1186/1471-2164-10-498Published: 27 October 2009
Many mammalian genes are arranged in a bidirectional manner, sharing a common promoter and regulatory elements. This is especially true for promoters containing a CpG island, usually unmethylated and associated with an 'open' or accessible chromatin structure. In evolutionary terms, a primary function of genomic methylation is postulated to entail protection of the host genome from the disruption associated with activity of parasitic or transposable elements. These are usually epigenetically silenced following insertion into mammalian genomes, becoming sequence degenerate over time. Despite this, it is clear that many transposable element-derived DNAs have evaded host-mediated epigenetic silencing to remain expressed (domesticated) in mammalian genomes, several of which have demonstrated essential roles during mammalian development.
The current study provides evidence that many CpG island-associated promoters associated with single genes exhibit inherent bidirectionality, facilitating "hijack" by transposable elements to create novel antisense 'head-to-head' bidirectional gene pairs in the genome that facilitates escape from host-mediated epigenetic silencing. This is often associated with an increase in CpG island length and transcriptional activity in the antisense direction. From a list of over 60 predicted protein-coding genes derived from transposable elements in the human genome and 40 in the mouse, we have found that a significant proportion are orientated in a bidirectional manner with CpG associated regulatory regions.
These data strongly suggest that the selective force that shields endogenous CpG-containing promoter from epigenetic silencing can extend to exogenous foreign DNA elements inserted in close proximity in the antisense orientation, with resulting transcription and maintenance of sequence integrity of such elements in the host genome. Over time, this may result in "domestication" of such elements to provide novel cellular and developmental functions.

N. Mpls. Newsroom Cafe 12/2
S. Mpls. Newsroom Cafe 12/3
Ready or not, the holiday season is here, with the trifecta of big shopping days Black Friday, Small Business Saturday and Cyber Monday kicking off this weekend. Sure, Small Business Saturday may not create the frenzy as the other two, but for many, that's part of the day's charm. Aimed at boosting sales for local independent shops, the day gives smaller mom-and-pop stores a chance to shine and garner focused community support.
(Photo by Sabrina Kennelly) Kathleen O'Hehir-Johnson makes truffles at her small candy store Just Truffles on Grand Avenue in St. Paul.
You can hear from the songs on the radio, the ads in the newspaper, and the commercials on TV that the holiday season has begun. This week Cyber Monday and Black Friday will have consumers opening up their wallets to grab the perfect present for their loved ones.
(Photo by Heidi Garrido) A couple kisses after being married by former Minneapolis Mayor R.T. Rybak at city hall on Aug. 1, 2013.
Since same-sex marriage became legal in Minnesota, Heidi Garrido has shot for more than a dozen same-sex weddings. The St. Paul photographer said she's already seen a major increase in her profits since the state legalized same-sex marriage last summer.
Reading is such a personal thing to me, I'd much rather give someone agift certificate to a bookstore, and let that person choose his or her own books.-Writer & journalist, Erik Larson
A gift suggestion to consider as you work your way down this season's holiday shopping list. A best path to the perfect book – - or the gift certificate — starts with a visit to a favorite indie bookstores on Small Business Saturday, November 29, 2014 – a day now known to bibliophiles as Indies First day!

Abdirahman Kahin, owner of the West Bank's Afro Deli, sees fewer customers during Ramadan, the monthlong Muslim daytime fast.
His restaurant is only open until 9 p.m., a time that's too early for many Muslims to eat during the fasting period.
No, I'm not joking. David Levinson wrote about an often overlooked but important subsidy* given to drivers: the lack of sales tax on gasoline and auto/truck purchases. I'm surprised this hasn't received more attention given the other distortions that see press. Yes, we pay a motor vehicle sales tax when buying a car, but that is supposed to be a user fee for funding roads (well, 60% of it at least). Yes, we also pay state and federal gas taxes, but again those are user fees (the MN gas tax is 100% dedicated to the Highway User Tax Distribution Fund).

Low-wage workers in a variety of Minnesota workplaces plan a week of action Nov. 28 to Dec. 5 around demands for a $15-an-hour minimum wage and improvements in working conditions.
A colleague of mine (from a more urban city) recently visited. When he arrived, I offered to show him around and he wanted to see transit-oriented development (TOD). Hmm…. I wanted to impress him, but I was stumped. Despite all our attention as a city and region to TODs, I don't believe we have any great transit villages right off the platform where we could go that would really resonate with him. There's Nicollet Mall and Target Field Station, but I wanted him to say, "wow, this is great!," but I didn't feel those would produce that response. Maybe I have impossibly high standards (maybe I'm just getting old and codgery), or maybe the Twin Cities is lagging a bit in the TOD quality department. So I took him for a drive along the West River Parkway and to West River Commons, which impressed him. This begs the question what is TOD and how can we do it better?
In a report about Minnesota Jobs Coalition chair Ben Golnik's new job as executive director of the Minnesota House Republican caucus, Minnesota Public Radio's Catherine Richert reported in Monday's article, Golnik to direct House Republican Caucus:
Golnik is leaving his post as chairman of the Minnesota Jobs Coalition, an independent political group that spent hundreds of thousands of dollars ushering in the Republican majority to the Minnesota House. Republicans won in nearly every district the group invested in. . . .
Just ahead of the G-20 Leaders' Summit in Brisbane, Australia (November 15-16, 2014), India and the United States announced a breakthrough in their trade negotiations impasse over agriculture. That fight had brought trade negotiations to a crashing standstill in July after the few months of tentative optimism among negotiators that followed the eleventh-hour agreement in at the Bali Ministerial Conference in December 2013. Confidence in the multilateral rules-based trading system had reached an all-time low, and while the response was muted (an agreement between two WTO members is not the same as an agreement among all), the media coverage made it clear the news of the U.S.-India agreement was very welcome in trade circles.

It is rare to find the kind of intimacy, intelligence, friendship, silliness, sexiness, and playfulness that was evident in Andres and Laura as they took the step towards marriage. Carrie and I are infinitely grateful to share their friendship and we hope these pictures can give you a small and joyful taste of what it was like to be there with them.
While waiting, here's a little something from my photography archives. I can't say that one photographs or films Jerusalem as a place. It's more of its own anthropomorphic creature: a living breathing character wrapped in its own personal mythology.
"The very fact that Jerusalem is both terrestrial and celestial means the city can exist anywhere: new Jerusalems have been founded all over the world and everyone has their own vision or Jerusalem." – From "Jerusalem: The Biography " by Simon Sebag Montefiore
In love, fidelity signifies this extended victory: the randomness of an encounter defeated day after day through the invention of what will endure. —Alain Badiou.
Part of being a migrant is experiencing seasons that pull you in different directions.
I may define myself as a dry gust of wind during one winter but snowy clouds will define the next. Or I might feel like Bogotá rain most of the year, but when summer comes around it's like a monkey has been loosened inside my body. A sensation that everything is possible poured into my arteries; a cork popped and streamers thrown in the wind.
When I was a child summer was synonymous to infinity. My family traveled to the US almost every june to visit family living in Miami and New York, and we would stay for the entirety of summer. Home to home, couch to couch.
In doing so, summer refused to be a place to stay. It was rather a place to exist momentarily. Where memories were nostalgic before they happened.
What defines the life of a migrant?
That memory can't touch those places that don't ask to be remembered.
We live in a constellation
Of patches and of pitches,
Not in a single world,
In things said well in music,
On the piano and in speech,
As in the page of poetry-
Thinkers without final thoughts
In an always incipient cosmos.
The way, when we climb a mountain,
Vermont throws itself together.
"Only those who know relation and who know of the presence of the You have the capacity for decision. Whoever makes a decision is free because he has stepped before the countenance."
-Martin Buber, I and Thou
Scene No. 1: The distilled mixture of solitude and loneliness in my wife's traveling absence is a curious tonic in my cup. It is the house favorite in June and a bit heavy on the bitters.
Scene No. 2: Visa restrictions have prevented me from traveling to Norway to help train young leaders in our movement. Limitation reveals a familiar villain.
Scene No. 3: One of my closest friends in Geneva is getting married this week. Secondary characters get ready to make introspective soliloquies.
Libretto: All of these are scenes of a vanishing act. The absence of a person, of an experience, and of a relational status. How we look at them —the road before us, the empty room we sit in, or the 2 people standing in a place where we are used to seeing 1— is as much about carefully watching a space transformed as it is about how we see ourselves changing in relation to it.
Pay careful attention.
These absences force change because they demand that we reframe ourselves in relation to our world. They ask us to touch "emptiness" and perhaps call it by a different name. They grant us an opportunity to creatively reposition ourselves, and in doing so to re-present ourselves to ourselves as paradigm-shifted objects.
Never static. Never finished. Never unidirectional. Always sculpted by time and surprised with light.
Regardless, a memory dent is left where a space was once occupied.
So you trace the textured lining of the empty surface with your index finger to remember how "empty" space feels and how deep the memory goes. The subtle bumps of fabric on your skin remind you of how finely detailed life's surface can be. The layers under your pressure ripple and disappear into flatness. Your eyes take in new areas of light and darkness and you remember the genesis of things.
You begin to appreciate that absence is nothing other than the discovery of a different kind of presence.
'Cause you know you left a hollow
Where your body cut an alcove
-Dustin Tebbutt "Breach"

Stephanie Sloim spent almost two years trying to start a business after she moved to Boulder, Colorado, in 2005. Though she had owned businesses before, finding one that would also allow her to spend time with her kids proved to be too much of a challenge, so she decided to find part-time work. But when Sloim discovered 10 til 2, a part-time staffing agency, she realized she didn't have to settle: Last October, Sloim became one of the company's first franchisees.
For Sloim, the biggest hurdle is that 10 til 2 is a new franchise competing against bigger, older staffing agencies. But 10 til 2′s niche is pairing small businesses that need extra help and mothers who want to work and be home when their children are.
Using 10 til 2′s database, Sloim identifies good candidates for employers and talks to each prospective employee before sending over a resume.
As for Sloim, 38, she's found the perfect match in 10 til 2. "It's full time, but it's not 9 to 5," she says. She can work at soccer practice or while her kids are sleeping and still make four-figure revenue each month.

LENNY KRAVITZ LETTING HIS LOVE RULE AT CFL GREY CUP: When SbB broke the news that the Eagles would be the halftime band for the Super Bowl, many of our neighbors to the north must have been wondering, "But what about the entertainment for *our* Super Bowl, the Grey Cup?"
Wonder no more, our Canuck compadres, as the Canadian Football League has announced that Lenny Kravitz will be highlighting the halftime festivities pour Le Coupe Grey.Mama Said that the multi-platinum artist would want to get away, would want to flyyyyyyy away to the Rogers Centre (a.k.a. Skydome) on November 25, where he'll be singing & strumming on the 55-yard line during the 95th edition of the CFL championship.
Lenny will be following in the 3-down footsteps of other artists to rock 'n' rouge, such as Nelly Furtado, Shania Twain, The Black Eyed Peas and of course, Bryan Adams.
We're hoping they snag Barenaked Ladies for the 96th Cup. And if the CFL committee needs any help in selecting next year's show-stoppers, they can always check Wayne Gretzky's iPod to see what the Great One has going on.

Merrimack Special Officers to be retired
After 108 years of service, the Special Officer Division, or part-time police force, will be taken out of service on July 1, according to Chief Mark Doyle.
While the part-time officers have served the town incredibly well throughout the years, Doyle said it has been increasingly difficult to recruit and train the part-time staff.
"We used to have 14 or 15 part-time officers," said Doyle, explaining just two are still serving on the Special Officer Division.
Those two officers - John Pelletier and Timothy St. Cyr - have done a variety of patrol work just like full-time police officers, said the chief.
Still, Doyle said it is difficult to keep the part-time officers highly trained and as skillful as the full-time police force, prompting the decision to discontinue the Special Officers Division.
"We've been very fortunate that many of our officers have come from the part-time rank," he said. "About two-thirds of our officers were part-time initially, so it has served us well."
Next month, the department will formally recognize the dozens of part-time police officers who have worked for the Merrimack Police Department throughout the last century. At the department's annual open house event, a special ceremony will take place to honor past and present members of the Special Officer Division.
Because the special officers were required to perform the same duties with the same responsibilities and risks as full-time officers, Doyle said they deserve to be praised.
"Most of these special officers were town residents who took time away from their own families to assist with keeping the peace in Merrimack," the department said in a release.
All former part-time officers and their families are invited to attend the event. A plaque with the names of all previous constables, auxiliaries and special officers will be dedicated at the police station.
Part-time officers have been utilized in town since it was incorporated in 1746, when constables were used on an as-needed basis for keeping the peace, according to the release, which said the town began using auxiliary officers around 1940.
During the 1980s, the department ended its auxiliary division and moved several of those individuals into the Special Officers Division. However, participants began declining in the 1990s in part because of more complicated legal requirements, low pay and longer hours, said the release.
As for the two remaining part-time officers, Doyle said St. Cyr will continue working as a full-time dispatcher and communications specialist for the department. Meanwhile, Pelletier is currently in the process of looking for part-time employment elsewhere, said the chief.
The ceremony will begin at 10 a.m. on May 11 at the station, 31 Baboosic Lake Road. The public is encouraged to attend the ceremony and open house.

Apple and IBM forge alliance to take on Microsoft's share of B2B
Apple and IBM have joined forces to develop business-focused apps for iPhones and iPads, with IBM preparing to sell Apple products loaded with its software, in a move designed to grow the California consumer brand's share of the B2B market.
Joining forces: IBM boss Ginni Rometty and Apple chief Tim Cook
The deal is a clear challenge to brands more dominant in the B2B sector, most notably Microsoft, whose chief executive Stya Nadella told staff this month that their aim should be to "reinvent productivity" and "change the world".
IBM, a computer manufacturer until it sold its PC business to Lenovo Group in 2005 and repositioned itself as a software and business consultancy, used to be Apple's arch rival. In the 1980s, upstart Apple depicted IBM as a Big Brother tyrant in an ad named after Orwell's dystopian classic '1984'.
IBM, which no doubt hopes the deal will help it turn around declining revenues, will create more than 100 business applications exclusively for iPhones and iPads.
Tim Cook, Apple's chief executive, said: "For the first time ever we're putting IBM's renowned big data analytics at iOS users' fingertips, which opens up a large market opportunity for Apple. This is a radical step for enterprise and something that only Apple and IBM can deliver."
Ginni Rometty, IBM's chairman, president and chief executive, added: "Mobility – combined with the phenomena of data and cloud – is transforming business and our industry in historic ways, allowing people to re-imagine work, industries and professions.
"This alliance with Apple will build on our momentum in bringing these innovations to our clients globally, and leverages IBM's leadership in analytics, cloud, software and services."

Portland is a beautiful place with lots of green areas. However, there is a reason that the city is so alive with plants, and it isn't because residents water their lawns. Portland gets a lot of rain throughout the year. The same rain that makes the city such a beautiful place can make planing an outdoor event very challenging. After all, no bride wants to be soaking wet on her wedding day and many a picnic has been ruined by a sudden downpour.
Every year kids turns a year older, which means another birthday and another birthday party. It is easy to spend a lot of money on parties: inviting all of your kid's friends, renting a venue, buying a cake, hiring entertainers, getting play equipment, and piling on the presents. Unfortunately, while we can dream about holding a huge birthday bash for our children, the reality is that most parents are on a budget, and as much fun as that big birthday party sounds, the mortgage or rent has to come first.

So, what is the appropriate response to "Ewww!!!" anyway?
- k
- Katie Nell Jun 20, 2006 02:04 PM
So... an acquaintance at work comes over to ask me to go out to lunch...
Me: "Oh, I brought my lunch today."
Her: "Oh, really, what did you bring?"
Me: "Salmon and..."
Her: (Quickly interrupts) "Ewwww!!!! Sick!!!!"
Me: "Salmon from leftovers last night and salad."
Her: (Shuttering and walking away) "Ewwww!!!"
What would you have said? Is there an appropriate response? Or is the appropriate response just to keep your mouth shut like I did? When it actuality, the next time she waxes poetic about how much she loves Carrabba's, I'll want to say "Ewww!!!" (But, I probably won't!)
re: dinwiddie
LOL!! Love that response.
Clearly this coworker is not a food person, and probably thinks the Sizzler is a big night out. I probably would have said something like, "I know, isn't it awful? But I make myself eat it."
re: slacker
not a people person, either.
re: Fydeaux
Great replies. It is rude, to say the least. And you are right- anyone who is not a child should NEVER make those kinds of comments. We taught the kids to say something along the lines of " no thank you, I don't care for that" instead of EEWW or Gross.
It depends who says it.
If it was someone I usually get along with and like, I would say nothing.
If it was someone else, I'd say, "at least it smells better than you do."
re: Dommy!
Not even smoked? Lox?
re: JB
No, I don't even like it in Sushi Form. I think I have a mutated taste bud or something. Once at a fancy restaurant I was having the tasting menu with a groups of co-workers and everyone was Oooing and Ahhing over the Salmon coarse and when I took a bite of mine, I seriously almost gaged. :(
Ah well... I guess that is why god created Halibut! ;)
re: Dommy!
Indeed, the salmon coarse can be quite rough on anyone's tongue.
re: Dommy!
I'm with you on the Tuna. A sushi chef once tried to convert me. I ate his liver with some fava beans and a nice chianti. Err, no. Actually, I just had to spit it out in my napkin as I TOLD him I hated tuna!
See post on weird foods of Asia above and turn her on to it.
Grin and bear it, you aren't going to educate her palate, she'll never now what she's missing.
Let me guess which chain she wanted to go to lunch at....
re: Das Ubergeek
Wow -- I can't stop laughing! Made my day.
re: Das Ubergeek
You are funny! Thanks for the visual and the giggle!
Negative commenting on something you're eating drives me up the friggin' wall. So much so that I'm almost never even nice in my response. I usually say "Why do people feel the need to make disgusted faces at something someone else is enjoying?" If they feel like they should make me feel bad about something I like, I sure as hell am going to make them feel bad about being an inconsiderate ass. =)
re: Bob W.
HAHAHA props to you for that comment.
As horribly rude as her comment was, and as much as I would be tempted to make a hilarious response like some of the others posted (or a simple "Hey, you're the one who asked"), I think my initial reaction would have been to ask her why salmon is so gross to her. But being someone who'll eat almost anything, I'm always curious why others are turned off by certain foods.
re: ricepad
hahahahahahahah. . .OK you win, IMHO that was the best and funniest answer so far. My response would've been just to "mmmmmmmm" with every bite and then slice open the durian for dessert.
I'm not very nice to the person making the face and noise. It always seems to be the blissfully ignorant, socially inept, brick-stupid that think they're being witty and funny. In cases where someone has found the need to provide commentary on something I've made that they have no wish to sample, I simply answer, "You bear your ignorance more proudly than a shield. Go buzz and flitter about someone else's table before I produce some Raid." The few times I've used it, it's produced the necessary results I wanted.
If you want something quicker, look at them in great pain-and-suffering and with extreme anguish whine, "Didn't that hurt you to think it?! It's killing me just listening to it!"
This happens to me frequently at work. Just today (again), actually. I was telling another co-worker that I ordered a guava cake from Aki's Bakery in San Jose for my birthday. Add: scrunched up facial expression meaning to convey digust and the response: "Uggggghhh guava?!?!?" Since I was at work, I restrained from voicing the snide remark on the tip of my tongue. Instead I explained that guava is a tropical fruit (!!) and Aki's makes a delicious guava cake consisting of guava chiffon, guava filling & guava glaze. I didn't know if her disgust was with guava in general (is it a distaste-inspiring fruit like durian?) or the fact that it would be an ingredient in a cake. So of course I didn't offer her the addictive Tamarind-Plum Gummies my grandparents brought back from the Philippines (sort of Li-Hing flavored) that I was snacking on at my desk. Other yummy foods that have received a yuck-reaction at work: dried squid (in "rope" form); sweet sticky rice with mango; butter chicken/chicken korma. I've worked here for years so I'm used to this reaction. For the record I'm in California: the Los Gatos/San Jose area near Good Sam hospital =P
re: SanJoseHound
Did you you tell her what a lovely bright pink color the cake is?
A reaction to salmon? It's not like you were eating delicious durian or tasty fermented smelly tofu!
My buddy used to get reactions like that at work... then I gave him a bag of Asian dried candied baby crabs, which he put in a candy jar on his desk. He would offer some "candy" to folks who made rude comments. The annoying folks soon stopped droppping by his cubicle and making remarks after that.
re: JMF
Surprising; usually people will eat anything if it's free--put it in their mouths, and ask questions later! ;)
I love those crabs, tho...
re: Pat Hammond
Good for you! Your response reminded me of a friend's story. She was forever putting up with her (TV dinner eating, clueless) roommate's comments about how gross fish sauce smelled. Granted, she felt borderline bad because it's pretty pungent.
One day, he came home and another roommate was frying some shrimp and garlic. He immediately turned to my friend and said "Ugh, are you cooking with FISH sauce again?" She finally snapped and said "No, that's called fresh shrimp, and if you ate anything besides TV dinners you'd know what real food smells like." He got scared and ran away. I doubt he's commented since. Zing!
re: Tracy L.
Heh heh heh. Would make for a good episode of "The Office."
The appropriate response is a horrified, icy stare, unaccompanied by any verbal follow-up (as though she had made a very rude and clearly deliberate noise). Say nothing, nothing at all. Leave the rude person twisting in the wind, and avoid her forever after.
I feel your pain. I brought black bean soup one day for lunch and as I was eating it a coworker sitting at my table said "some food is meant only to be eaten by the blind." I was flabergasted, it was like eating next to the lunchroom Archie Bunker. She angered me on so many levels I couldn't think clearly enough for a retort.
I think you should make a comment about Carraba's. In my experience people who have such definite opinions and don't think before talking will say something to the effect of "how can you say you don't like Carraba's", then at that point you can engage her in some dialogue.
re: Sharuf
childish more like - never learned to think before she spoke and maybe keep some of her feelings to herself. I guess a lot of us share that trait!
We do this to each other in our office all the time and joke about one another's food preferences -- I've been guilty of it, and have received many Ewws and strange looks since I do tend to bring in a lot of food no one else has heard of. No one here takes themselves all that seriously, thank goodness.
re: Ellen
My late Mother cured me of the eeew bit (unless joking). I once said eew to her food and got a lecture and was forced to eat the "offending" food. She rightly said that, as I was old enough, I could have quietly cooked an egg or something but it is beyond rude to go eeew over someone's food. I would have been quiet also and just thought they had no manners. JMHO, Linda
Hey, Katie!!! Long time no 'see'! I get this a LOT - friends, family, co-workers - and the funniest thing is that I work at a 'gourmet' grocers and my co-workers make the faces and comments about the food we are selling!!! What I always do is act totally ignorant - I say in a very mild voice, "Oh, you don't like...(whatever it is)". The usual response is that they haven't ever had it. Then I get to look totally stunned and perplexed (four years of acting school helps here, but I'll bet anyone could do it with a little practice) and say, "I don't understand, then. You couldn't possibly know if you like it or not, could you?" Their little reptile brains seem to get the signal that they have said something incredibly stupid and they tend to mumble and drop it. I have noticed that the instances definitely drop off when I use this method.
Passive/aggresive - look at them increduously - "What....you're kidding, right? You don't eat salmon?!" then walk away shaking your head like you've never heard of such a thing.
I would just go back to my lunch and let it go. I know lots of people who don't like fish, and there have been many times when I've inwardly winced at some people's taste in food (but I refrain from commenting). I have a friend who won't eat something if a piece of salmon even touched it. For example, we went out for tea one day and she wouldn't eat a whole tier of tea sandwiches because they abutted the salmon sandwiches. People are weird. Or just different. It makes life interesting.
In my house, when someone says "Ewwww" the comment they will get back is "Great!! More for me!!!"
re: ICE_Student
As a chef, I seriously wonder why some of these kids go to culinary school. There are so many of them that eat nothing but boneless, skinless chicken breasts. It makes me wanna scream.
I will never forget the time a female classmate of mine fainted during butchery class because she couldn't cope with breaking down a lamb leg.
Where did she think meat came from anyways?
re: bogie
This is hugely widespread -- the link (vegetarians for ethical reasons, stop reading here) between death and dinner is almost completely gone. Chicken is "the thing that comes individually wrapped on a tray at Costco".
This is why I was taught to hunt -- the idea being that meat comes from things that were living and were killed, thus wasting meat was an averah.
"Ewww" is mild compared to a co-worker of mine who make a motion like she's going to puke every time she sees me eat an egg sandwich.
How about, ``You should hear what the salmon said about you...''
seriously, though. always better to handle it with humour. either that or silence, assuming this person's the dolt they sound like.
As a chef who makes sure his wife always has a nutritious and creative bag lunch, I would say that you should ignore such comments completely.
Instead, you should feel secure and inwardly smug & superior that you have a better lunch that your philistine co-workers.
I would just bring a fishy salmon head (cooked or raw...up to you..)to work the next day and stick it in her handbag when she wasn't looking..eeewwwwwwww!!!

What to do with a can of chili?
I have a can of Hormel chili (no beans) that I don't know what to do with. I bought two cans with a coupon I had. The first was served on a baked potato with sour cream and jalapenos. It was ok, but I want to do something else this time. I'm not crazy about the taste of it, so any ideas to doctor it up would be helpful. I'm tempted to just donate it to a food bank, but I'm determined to make it edible. Any ideas?
Oh, definitely doctor it up- add chile powder (pure chile, as opposed to 'chili' powder, which also has salt and will overdo it on that aspect if you add it to canned chili), cumin, oregano and garlic powder. At least a TB of chile/cumin, half that for the garlic/oregano. I'd also include a portion of cayenne in that chile powder component.
Then you can do as you did- use it as a topping on nachos, chili dogs, etc.
Well, next time buy a can of Wolf Brand, and you won't need to do much to it. ;-)
Despite some unkind comments you might get from others, canned chili is nothing to be ashamed of! The classic South Texas concession stand treat of Frito pie is hot chili over a small bag of Fritos, topped with grated cheese and optional chopped onions. Bottled hot sauces are offered to taste. Best served with a plastic fork.
Btw, sometimes the serving vessel is the bag itself, slit on the side, but a paper hotdog boat will work just fine.
re: marthasway
I love Frito pie! That was the number one favorite school lunch (yes, yikes!) at the school where my DD went to kindergarten. Even the parents would show up when they served that. It is much greater than the sum of its rather questionable parts.
Add diced onion, mustard, a bit of ketchup and worcestershire to taste to make a michigan style topping for hot dogs.
Oooh, make chili dip out of it. Everyone loves chili dip!
Spread a bar of cream cheese (even Neufchatel is fine, but not no-fat) across the bottom of an 8 x 8 baking dish.
Go ahead and doctor the Hormel as suggested with chili powder or whatever you like, seasoning-wise. I wouldn't add a whole tablespoon for just one can--a teaspoon will probably go a long way. You can always add more...
Spread the chili over the cream cheese.
Sprinkle shredded cheddar (or your cheese of choice) over the chili.
Bake in the oven till bubbly and serve with tortilla chips.
There is NEVER leftover chili dip! :)
It tastes even better, of course, when it's your own chili...an idea for another time.
re: kattyeyes
I can get on board with starting out with a lesser amount and then adding more if needed. I usually add more during my midnight snacking when I do this sort of thing, though, but everybody's taste is different.
re: TongoRad
:) Dig your avatar, btw. I'm a Day of the Dead girl myself!
re: kattyeyes
I was going to post this exact recipe - it is ALWAYS a huge hit!
re: biondanonima
Me too... I just made a vegetarian version. I took a can of vegetarian chili, put it into the blender so that that beans were smooth, added a habanero to kick it up a bit. I topped it with cheddar, plus a process cheese square which made it a bit more creamy, put it in the microwave and it worked well. There was some leftover the next day and I put it over a Trader Joes tamale.
re: biondanonima
It's interesting. I've never seen or even heard of this. Could it be a regional thing? Bob's family makes a dip with canned, no bean chili and tons of grated cheddar cheese. Got to have the dipping Fritos for it :) The only thing I use cream cheese for is spread on bagels!
re: c oliver
I never heard of it until a friend at work told me about it. She lives in Northern NJ. It was super. I didn't think I'd like the cream cheese in it but it works well.
Thanks for all the quick replies! I'll check my pantry when I get home to see which of these great ideas I can make.
Quick Polenta and Chili Mock Tamales
2 3/4 cups water
1 cup milk
2 Tbs dehydrated onion flakes
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp onion powder
1 teaspoon table salt
1/8 tsp white pepper
1 egg, well beaten
2 Tbs olive oil or cooking oil
1 cup yellow corn meal
1 (15 oz) can Hormel No Beans Chili
In a 3 quart covered microwaveable casserole dish,
mix together the water, milk, onion flakes, garlic powder,
onion powder, salt and white pepper.
Stir in the beaten egg. Whisk well.
Stir in the olive oil. Whisk well.
Stir in the corn meal. Whisk well to stir out all lumps.
Cover and microwave on high for 6 minutes.
Remove lid and stir well, stirring out any lumps.
Cover and microwave on high for another 6 minutes.
Uncover and stir well until polenta is creamy.
Separately, heat the contents of the can of Hormel No Beans Chili.
Spoon the polenta into individual serving bowls and top with heated Hormel No Beans Chili.
Makes 4 to 6 servings.
re: Antilope
Hey -- this sneaky substitute just might work--
actually sounds pretty tasty!
re: cocktailhour
How much velveeta?
re: Sharuf
half a pound to a pound.
re: Sharuf
Keep it warm and use it as a dip for tortilla chips. It isn't really a healthful food, but it sure does taste good.
re: John E.
That's why I LOVE it so much.
re: roxlet
I try to always have a can of no-bean chili on hand. Thanks to Chow-friend Veggo, I saute' onions, garlic, jalapenos and poblanos. Then I dump in the canned chili. On top of chili dogs. Thanks again, Veggo, for the rec of Oscar Mayer Angus Bun Length dogs. They have a great snap. Oh, yeah, and of course grated cheese and chopped onion.
re: mamachef
Mmm. I shall definitely be doing this. I'm able to buy fresh corn tortillas and am always looking for new uses. (I pay about a dollar for four dozen!)
Doctor it up with more "everything" like onions garlic green bell peps & seasonings maybe tomatoes too.
Toss some ground beef and ortegas plus spice in skillet let render down to no more pink skim grease add to chili. Stir to blend. Pour whole shootin match over a boatload of tortilla chips shred a bunch of cheese over all put in microwave just to melt cheese, black olives and thinly sliced scallions over all... Enjoy
re: Antilope
Add beanie weenies, yummmmm
re: iL Divo
Add a can of pork and beans with canned hotdogs to canned chili? I don't know. That sounds like an odd matchup, Il Divo. Is it something your 5-year-old eats?
re: mamachef
isn't that just a chili dog? maybe a bit on the sweet side, but i don't see the issue.
re: KaimukiMan
The issue, for me, is actually the texture of the canned hot dogs. There's a remote possibility that if you just mixed pork and beans with canned chili, the spices in the chili would overtake the sweetness of the pork and beans, in which case I might could choke it down poured over a freshly steamed hot dog. But the whole idea of mixing the two sounds.....just disastrous to me. In theory and in general. I guess maybe I can't see the point, because it doesn't sound like an improvement to me at all.
Do like Wendy's and make your chili the "meat" of a taco salad. Top shell and lettuce salad with tomatoes, cilantro, sour cream, salsa, corn... good summer meal.
Make a few quarts of beef-vegetable soup or bean soup and use the chili in that, so it doesn't
have enough of a presence to be objectionable.
brown up some ground beef, throw in some good salsa, maybe an onion if you have one, some jalapenos, some chili in adobo-adds a lot of heat and some good smokey flavor-, toss in the can of chili. and then use it for chili dogs, taco filling, burritoes, put it over rice (a hawaii favorite), a chili size (on an open face burger with onion and cheese), or just a 'bowl of red'
re: KaimukiMan
Yay, KM. You have basically neutralized canned chili. Good for you ) Best, C
re: c oliver
but the can of chili does add some base flavors, helps thicken things up. You just have to start with a decent can of chili. Hormel, Dennison's, and i'm told Wolf.
and yes, depending on my mood I may add pinto beans, black beans, or small red kidney beans. Even been known to add all three when I'm making a big batch. One time (when I had a few too many adult beverages) i accidently threw in a can of refried beans.... that was a mistake.
thanks CO
NACHOS!!! My quick & wicked version requires no "real" cooking and practically all pre-made products. Heat chili and pour over tortilla chips. Then on layer guacamole, salsa, grated cheese, olives, and finally pickled jalapenos. My guilty pleasure.
re: rasputina
yumm sounds great
I'd heat up a passel of hotdogs and make chilli dogs... the hotdog flavour will cover up a multitude of sins in the chili.
Well - being that I grew-up in Austin, I've had me a few cans of Hormel Chili. I like it when camping... Add a can of diced tomatoes and about a half of cup of diced raw onion. Add a tablespoon of Ancho powder and a couple long hard shots of Cholula. Add a can of black beans or pinto beans .... slow cook and serve with cilantro & sour cream.
re: Maggie19
I add some sour cream and/or velveeta and use it for dip. Totally good!!
re: WildSwede
hey we think alike.
I used to order this at Bobs Big Boy years ago and loved it.
re: WildSwede
Kinda like this Cincinnati chili?
Open a good can of chili con carne cook up some spaghetti noodles, butter them slightly, spoon cooked chili over noodles, small spoon of sour cream on top, shredded cheddar on top of sour cream fresh chopped white onions on top and enjoy.
I use it in a breakfast burrito with a scrambled egg and cheese on top. Wrap, toast, and eat! Adds extra protein. I think I added it up once (may have been a tomato-basil wrap tortilla) and it came to about 30 grams.
There are a lot of posts here about what I consider things to do with chili, not a single can of chili. If it takes more than a can of chili you would be better served to make the chili from scratch. It is not difficult to do and the results are far superior than what you get in the can. The fat content and sodium alone are reasons to make it yourself.
re: John E.
Then its been way too long since you've had a big steaming bowl of Wolf Brand chili.
re: JonParker
I had to do a search for Wolf Brand Chili to understand that your reply was a Wolf slogan. I also discovered that Wolf chili might be in the stores in Minnesota (remember, we are home to Hormel Brand Chili). Here is a paragraph from a news release announcing Wolf's expansion into the midwest last fall:
"The brand's expansion was driven by consumer research that showed even though the Midwest has the highest index of chili consumption in the nation, the region reports only moderate canned chili sales. "Chili eaters in the Midwest are more likely to make their chili from scratch,"
To really put that into context is that never in my life have I kbowingly eaten a bowl of canned chili.
re: John E.
I got scathing responses on the Texas board to my liking Wolf Brand chili, the taste of my Texas childhood. I will defend it and my personal to those meanies any day!
re: John E.
I now live in MD, where Wolf Brand is not available. I use Hormel for chili dogs and the like, but its not the same. Canned chili is a totally different art form than homemade -- like the difference between painting and photography, or silent and sound film. And for canned chili, Wolf Brand is the master.
deep fry some seasoned fries, sautée some onions, & fry up some bacon (6-8 slices) don't forget to warm up the chilli. Once fries are done pour some chilli over them add shredded cheddar cheese and onions place bacon on top and you'll be in HEAVEN.

2006 Chevrolet Impala Overview
Overall User Score
Based on 38 reviews
The 2006 Impala is available with a four-speed automatic transmission, and 3.5-liter V6, 3.9-liter V6, or a 5.3-liter V8. It is often viewed as the American car competitor to the Toyota Camry and Honda Accord.
Some owners have called the interior "cheap" looking, with too much plastic. Others have cited an un-sporty feel to even the SS (or super sport) trim of this car. The engine labors rather than hops. Another common complaint is poor visibility through the rear window.
Conversely, many users have touted the comfort of the car for a low price, and have congratulated the American car maker for finally producing a mid-size sedan worthy of competing with the popular Camry and Accord.

Featured this past February, BIGREC's Booth debut found the Southern spitter teaming up with Booth faves Playboy Tre and Tom P. to demonstrate just how many syllables he could cram into 16 braggadocious bars. While his double-time flows were dazzling, to be sure, that record's hypercharged rhymesmith is just one facet of the Oklahoma City-bred New Orleans repper's musical persona; on newly-leaked mixtape cut mistaBIGstuff (a Booth-exclusive world premiere!), REC introduces us to a more laid-back—but no less attention-grabbing—side of his swag. Spitzwell mans the boards, borrowing a slow-rolling horn-organ groove from N.O. soul songstress Jean Knight's classic record of the same name, and REC comes with outsized rhymes to match, touting his prodigious skills as well as giving listeners a little biographical detail. On the back, he offers those digging the cut a friendly suggestion: "Change your Facebook status, spread the word about the fact / Tell the world that real hip-hop feeling is back." If you were impressed enough to follow his advice, then you're sure to enjoy the rest of the fresh tunes that await on RHHIB Mixtape, Volume 2 [The DiRECtive], dropping Sept. 27, via RealHipHopIsBack.com.

It was clean and neat. The buffet breakfast was very well supplied and we didn't need to wait for refills. It was also very nice to have 24hr coffee and tea available.

Everything was on the smallish side, but turned out to be adequate. The office chair at the desk in the room was too large for the space- awkward placement and difficult to get around. The arms of it were all 'chewed up' since it didn't fit under the desk. Detergent vending machine didn't work in the laundry area. Other than the smoky bathroom odor, it was clean and tidy. We would probably not stay here again just because we like a little more room. I would recommend it to people on a budget who are willing to sacrifice some luxury. ...
