Authentically Italian
Bella's feels – and tastes – like Italy should
Short Pump is known for its share of chain restaurants and strip malls, but diners looking for something more distinct can certainly find it without heading downtown or to nearby Charlottesville.
In fact, local husband-and-wife restaurateurs Valeria Bisenti and Doug Muir brought a taste of Charlottesville (and Italy) to Short Pump when they took a chance and opened Bella's second location in the same shopping strip as Wal-Mart and Peter Chang China Cafe. (Bella's original location is on Main Street in downtown Charlottesville.)
For a local Italian restaurant, Bella's is as "Mom and Pop" as its gets. Valeria is Mom, and Doug is Pop. Since its opening about six months ago, diners have been eating rich comfort foods and drinking Italian wines. > Read more.

So long, Dave. Riding a wave of conservative sentiment that Texas Republicans were not being led with a hard enough edge, state Sen. Dan Patrick crushed Lt. Gov.

The Food TV list
- m
- mr_fro2000 Oct 6, 2006 11:37 PM
Team Awesome:
All original japanese iron chefs (except italian)
The Ham on the Street
Guy's big bite guy
Team Sucko:
Paula "marshmallo and mayo sandwich anyone?" Deen
Mark "double dare" Summers
Emeril (duh)
Rachel "everything is 'mmmmm'" Ray
Sandra "dung on a bun" Lee
Cat "wow, i'm an iron chef?" Cora
what's your list?
Having eaten at Cat Cora's restaurant and taken a cooking lesson from her, I really respect her culinary skills. The food that she cooked at Postino, her restaurant near San Francisco, was really, really delicious.
I still haven't seen Guy's show (no real interest), but I really can't take much of Ham on the Street. No real content, more about "entertainment" in a style that doesn't work for me. Did this Duran guy *really* have a show in France like his opener says??!!
Sadly, I don't find much "awesome" on the network anymore. There are some shows that are decent/tolerable, but they don't really teach like they once did. Alton is the only one that goes into any depth. I don't count Mario because he's cancelled and I haven't seen his show in forever. The American Iron Chefs (aside from Morimoto) don't have nearly the range or finesse that the Japanese did. Their prime time evening "way more than cooking" line up makes me cringe...
I'll stick to PBS, but I really wish that someone would start a competing food-related network w/ better content. Anyone?
re: Carb Lover
It's called PBS Satellite.
re: Robert Lauriston
With food shows all the time?
re: Carb Lover
We have a digital cable channel in Boston that is all PBS cooking and How-to shows. Lidia's Family Table is on all night tonight. There are also travel shows (Rick Steeves) and This Old House, sewing, quilting, etc.
In my area it is WGBXDT3, channel 237.
You might want to append to this thread instead, same subject:
BTW the above PBS channel is called CreateTV, only available via digital over-the-air.
I like:
Bobby Flay
Tyler Florence
Iron Chef and ICA
$40 a day
Rachel Rey's Tasty Travels
The Secret Life Of.....
that's it....everything else I don't really watch at all...not even for background noise....
re: rainey
In the US, Alton is on weeknights at 7pm eastern.
Nigella Lawson is truly amazing
Mario Bataili also...
I honestly can understand why Anthony Bourdain chose to count himself out of the network... I mean, Rachel Ray... ugh!!
Pretty much the food network lost its appeal. There are better shows on Fine Living, PBS, Discover Home...but as a chef:
Flay (only in small spurts)
Iron Chef (either one)
that's it...I don't want to deal with watered down Martha Stewarts (i.e. paula deen, the bare foot one, rachel ray, etc..) There needs to be a network with real chefs showing the public how to properly cook things...no hackers. no short cuts! the real way. I sa a show today with Marcus Samulesson (a real chef). We are a very interesting and entertaining group :)
Alton Brown
Mario Batali (but, I never find him on anymore up here in Canada).
Gordon Ramsay (Kitchen Nightmares)
David Rocco (Dolce Vita)
Nigella Lawson (Any of the two or three series they're running up here)
Jamie Oliver (particularly for 'School Dinners')
Ina Garten
Bobby Flay (in small doses, and only recently -- he's less of an ass than he used to be. But, then again, I haven't seen him on this new competitve show (smash down?))
Original Iron Chef (I hate the Itallian one -- Masahiko Kobe -- too. I like Chen the best.)
The rest. Particular mention goes to Rachel, Giada, and Emeril.
Old and good but gone:
I miss Steingarten and Ming Tsai a lot.
I'm with Carb Lover on the lack of actual teaching on the Food Network. When the network first came to Canada (about 9 years ago), I was glued...there were the Two Hot Tamales, David Rosengarten, Michael Lomonaco, Alan Richman, and Emeril, of course. This was serious cooking and education. It's still important for the home cook to know how to wash spinach properly; the Tamales showed the viewer how. Try finding a cooking show nowadays that TEACHES the basics.
As a culinary educator, recipe developer and food/cookbook writer, I lament the deterioration of cooking shows and shows about food in general. It's all about the entertainment now and amusing the masses. As usual, the people with the real passion for real food, cooking and gastronomy are left unsated.
re: olivergail
Well said. You must be thrilled with the latest offerings: The world's largest popcorn sculpture, the world's tallest sugar sculpture of a skyscraper, the world's fastest pancake maker.... I'll bet the Empire State Building tastes really good!
re: olivergail
The Two Hot Tamales were very good too. Thanks olivergail, I'd forgotten about them.
My husband and I just want to die everytime we see Rachael Ray grossly undertip in restaurants when she's "on the road". She once left someone $1.69. For God's sake- give the waiter 2 damn dollars!!!

Choosing a Vapour Cigarette can be a daunting task, especially if you've never used one before. There are so many different makes, models and brands available both on the internet and in Electronic Cigarette UK stores that it can all be a little bit overwhelming but when you arm yourself with just a little information on the fundamentals of how they work, you'll find it's really quite easy. We have made this list to explain the different features of different models, from the chamber that holds the nicotine liquid to the battery that activates it.
As you read you'll notice words like 'variable voltage', 'clearomizer', 'ohms' and 'mAh' (milliampere-hour) and it's perfectly understandable that you won't know what more than half of these terms mean, but by the end of this article you'll have learned them all and have gained enough knowledge to choose a model that bests suits you and your needs.
E-Cigs (another name for Vapour Cigarettes) are a relatively new alternative to smoking. If you haven't been living in a cave for the past eight years or so, you'll have heard about them and how popular they have become but for those of you who haven't, lets just say that there are over 2 million ex-smokers using them in the UK alone (for a more detailed history of Electronic Cigarettes in the UK, visit our History page). They are made to mimic the sensation of smoking tobacco by 'vaporizing' a nicotine solution called E-Liquid which the user inhales to deliver nicotine to the lungs and bloodstream. Since this nicotine solution is mainly water-based it is far less harmful than tobacco and more environmentally friendly.
There are many different e-cig models available but they always come in three parts; the battery, the atomizer and the E-Liquid chamber. The battery is used to activate the atomizer and as the atomizer gets hotter, it heats the liquid, generating vapour which the user can then inhale into their lungs like a normal tobacco cigarette. Some devices are activated automatically when the user takes a pull on the mouthpiece while some have a button to activate the atomizer.
There are three main types of e-cig that exist today. We have listed these and given a short description of each one including a key indicator of how you can expect each one to perform.
Disposable e-cigs are called this just for that reason; once you've used up the battery you simply throw it away. The parts are all attached to one another and cannot be taken apart or replaced.
Battery Life: Low
Vapour Production: Low
Cost: If you stick to using these then you can expect to use one every day or two. They can cost around £6 each which makes them similarly as expensive to smoking ten tobacco cigarettes a day.
Ideal For: If you prefer weak tobacco or lite cigarettes, or you only smoke less than five a day, these are likely to please you but the price won't.
First generation starter kits look similar to normal cigarettes but are slightly larger and are available in various colours. They have a rechargeable battery and are used with cartomizers. Cartomizers are liquid chambers which can store less than 1ml and have the atomizer built in. They are disposable parts but some can be refilled until the atomizers life comes to an end. Once they do stop working you'll have to buy more cartomizers from the same vendor, making these the tobacco companies choice for their customers. Cartomizers usually last around the same as a disposable ecig but are cheaper.
These generally have weak battery life (180-200mAh*) but some models come with a portable charging case included (or PCC). This case serves to keep your battery charged while you aren't using it, however you can expect to pay a lot more for this feature.
*mAh is an abbreviation of milliampere-hour, which is a measurement of the capacity of a battery. Generally the higher the mAh of a battery, the longer it will last depending on the voltage. As far as first generation devices go, you don't need to worry about the voltage of your battery.
Battery Life: Low
Vapour Production: Low/Medium
Cost: First generation Vapour Cigarettes can be expensive if you buy the PCC versions and if you smoke more than ten a day, you're gonna need it! A PCC starter kit can cost around £40-£80 whereas a single battery/cartomizer kit can cost from £10 each. The replacement cartomizers can cost around £6-£12 for a pack of five.
Ideal For: Light smokers who want a more permanent and cost effective solution.
These are the most common type because they are both reliable and more cost effective than the first generation models. The most popular ecig model is the EGo which is available in two different types; a three part system of a battery, atomizer and 1ml E-liquid chamber, or a two part system of a battery and a clearomizer.
Clearomizers are similar to cartomizers but are different in many ways. One of the ways they are different is that they are all refillable. Another way is that they can be disposable or rebuildable. With a rebuildable clearomizer you can simply keep the chamber to use over and over again and just replace the atomizer inside.
The battery life is typically more than three times that of a first generation device, with EGo models ranging between 650mAh and 1100mAh. They don't look anything like a normal cigarette and they also have a button located on the battery which you press to activate the atomizer. They come in many different colours but the most popular are black and silver. Clearomizers also come in varying colours such as red, blue, green or just plain transparent. This makes it more customizable for users which has boosted their popularity.
The vapour production is far better than cig-a-likes and can satisfy most users. Those who aren't satisfied and need a stronger throat hit can simply counter this by increasing the nicotine content in their liquid.
Battery Life: Medium/High
Vapour Production: Medium/High
Cost: A typical EGo starter kit consisting of a single 650mAh battery, one clearomizer and a USB charger with carry case can cost upwards of £15 each and a double kit can cost £30+, making them slightly more expensive than first generation devices but far more superior. Replaceable clearomizers typically cost upwards of £6 and the replaceable atomizers can cost around £2 each.
Ideal For: All but the most enthusiastic smokers will certainly be comfortable with a second generation Electronic Cigarette. Light smokers can use weaker liquid and stronger smokers can use stronger liquid so it's made to suit everyone.
The newest and most advanced forms of E-Cigarette are known as mods or VV/VW kits. VV means variable voltage and VW means variable wattage. This means you can change how your battery performs based on how you like your vaping experience to be.
Generally, higher settings means higher vapour production and lower settings means lower vapour production (for an in depth explanation of how VV and VW works, see our FAQ page). These models have larger and more powerful batteries and while most are still as portable as second generation devices, some are very large with batteries as powerful as 3000mAh.
Unless you are really enthusiastic about vaping or are a very heavy smoker (30+ a day) you won't really feel the benefit of the advanced features these devices offer.
They can be used with most clearomizers but you can also find specialized clearomizers and parts from most mod stores.
Battery Life: High/Very High
Vapour Production: Customizable from Low to Very High
Cost: I'm not going to lie to you, mods are very expensive. They typically range between £40 and £100 but some can cost as much as £300 a piece. The parts are replaceable in most cases and can be expensive for the higher priced models but in general, for a basic mod kit you can expect the maintenance cost to be that of a standard second generation kit.
Ideal For: Very heavy smokers and enthusiasts who really want to delve into the world of E-Cigarettes.
So there you have it, that should be everything you need to know about buying an Electronic Cigarette in the UK either from Ecigzone or another vendor. Just be sure that whomever you buy yours from have the correct markings on the batteries (CE, WEEE compliance label) and can provide quality goods that won't fail or malfunction. If you have any other questions please email me at firstname.lastname@example.com or post a comment to one of our social pages located at the bottom right corner of this page.
Happy Vaping!

Don't get too excited, it's not true. Electronic Cigarettes do not cure cancer, but I thought I'd create an article that didn't warn users off them for a change, whether it be true or not.

Paul Weitz
Profession: Director, producer, playwright.
Claim to Fame: Wrote a play that ran off-Broadway before he graduated from high school.
Paul Weitz once told a Hollywood executive a little white lie: Sure, I've directed a lot of theater. That sort of moxie may well be his secret ingredient. It's what landed him, and his brother Chris, in the director's seat of the now infamous American Pie series. Weitz has since garnered enough credits that he no longer needs to fib. One of his earlier projects was writing, also with Chris, the screenplay for the animated film Antz. Later, he won an Oscar nomination for About a Boy. Recently he decided to write and direct something closer to home: His newest film, Being Flynn, is an adaptation of Nick Flynn's memoir, Another Bullshit Night in Suck City.
What drew you to Flynn's story of a young man who re-encounters a distant, delusional father?
It was the question of whether you're fated to become your parents or whether you're able to create your own life. You have this guy, Nick, who wants to be a writer; he cycles through odd jobs and then works at a homeless shelter. Apart from the occasional letter from prison, he hasn't seen or heard from his dad—a man deluded that his own writing was remarkable and convinced he would win a Nobel Prize—for 18 years. Suddenly his dad [played by Robert De Niro] shows up at the homeless shelter and Nick gets a glimpse of his father's stark reality. It's also an interesting spin on the theme of storytelling as a mode of survival, as well as creativity and its relationship to ego.

We previously reported that anti-amyloid-beta (Aβ) single-chain antibody (scFv59) brain delivery via recombinant adeno-associated virus (rAAV) was effective in reducing cerebral Aβ load in an Alzheimer's disease (AD) mouse model without inducing inflammation. Here, we investigated the prophylactic effects and mechanism of a muscle-directed gene therapy modality in an AD mouse model. We injected rAAV serotype 1 encoding scFv59 into the right thigh muscles of 3-month-old mice. Nine months later, high levels of scFv59 expression were confirmed in the thigh muscles by both immunoblotting and immunohistochemistry. As controls, model mice were similarly injected with rAAV1 encoding antihuman immunodeficiency virus Gag antibody (scFvGag). AAV1-mediated scFv59 gene delivery was effective in decreasing Aβ deposits in the brain. Compared with the scFvGag group, levels of Aβ in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) decreased significantly while Aβ in serum tended to increase in the scFv59 group. AAV1-mediated scFv59 gene delivery may alter the equilibrium of Aβ between the blood and brain, resulting in an increased efflux of Aβ from the brain owing to antibody-mediated sequestration/clearance of peripheral Aβ. Our results suggest that muscle-directed scFv59 delivery via rAAV1 may be a prophylactic option for AD and that levels of CSF Aβ may be used to evaluate the efficacy of anti-Aβ immunotherapy.

Overall we're happy with the unit. It oks great and fits perfectly in the spot we selected. Unfortunately the outer packaging is cheap lightweight cardboard and by the time the UPS gorillas were done tossing it around the packaging was pretty trashed and turned out there were some pretty significant scratches on the unit. Luckily they were in a hidden spot once assembled. Also, the holes on the top glass piece weren't drilled quite right so only 3 of 4 screws could be actually be installed.
After research and shopping i settled on this table to go under my new 60inch lg flatscreen. It arrived with the box looking very rough, but the contents were good (one piece of metal had a slight bend iin it but you cant see it and it doesnt effect anything). Assembly is definitely a 2 person job but it went together very nicely. One tip, be sure you dont tighten down the bolts on the sides or youll never get the top to go on. I love the looks of the table, and ive seen many in stores not this nice for double the price. Cant go wrong with this table.
it arrived damaged and was replaced fast....I love overstock
I shopped for long time before purchasing this console; it's a perfect complement to my wall-mounted 46" LCD TV. It's very sturdy, and there's plenty of space for all of my gear (i.e., xBox 360, cable converter, stereo receiver, dual cassette player, CD/DVD player, and a horizontal Dell Vostro 22 mini tower on the bottom shelf). The keyboard and mouse for the Dell live on the top shelf, along with my vintage Technics turntable. I even had enough space leftover to display a couple of framed 8 X 10's. Best of all, the wires are neatly tucked away and out of sight, which is a HUGE bonus. My 18 year-old got it right when he called the set-up "way sexy." Overall, I'm VERY happy with the unit, and highly recommend it.
This stand is great! It's a very simple design, quick to put together, and very modern looking. The glass is black as well as the stand and it has very clean lines. The back allows wires to go through it and it fits perfectly in our media niche!
beautiful stand,easy to put together, holds all of our electronic equiptment , plus the 46 inch screen
This product is superb. One of the best price quality ratio's I have seen. Highly recommend!!

Based on the Speed Triple launched at the beginning of 2011, this high-spec R version has Ohlins suspension, lightweight wheels, Brembo monobloc brakes, cosmetic changes, a brand new gearbox and a 2kg reduction in weight. It's added a dynamic new dimension to the hugely popular Speed Triple, turning Triumph's feisty street-fighter into to a hugely competent trackday tool.

Honda have hit back hard with the track focused CBR600RR. They want their 600 crown back and after our first initial ride it seems they've done it. They've rectified the old motorcycle's weak points, namely lack of midrange and weight. The Honda CBR600RR is now the lightest in the class, and has much more midrange and razor sharp handling.

How valuable are unpaid internships? – Radio National 'Drive'
Broadcast on Thursday 20 November 2014 7:06PM
Do unpaid internships always lead to better career opportunities? Or do they put too much financial stress on young people and just favour the better-off? Also – are companies rorting the system for free labour?
Waleed Aly raised these questions and many more in a panel discussion with Andrew Stewart, a law professor who co-wrote a report on internships for the Fair Work Ombudsman, and Broede Carmody, a final-year journalism student who's completed several internships.

ACEN Research Grants announced
The two successful proposals this year are:
Learning and teaching through PACE: Changing roles and environments
Dr. Maria Amigo (Sociology, Macquarie University), Dr. Justine Lloyd (Sociology, Macquarie University)
Brief Overview: WIL projects require radical and far-reaching transformations in routine roles and working environments of academics, students and workplace supervisors. This study seeks to investigate the challenges, opportunities, and practicalities entailed in this dynamic, in order to better understand how to brief and support the three groups of stakeholders involved.
Enhancing Work-Integrated Learning outcomes among international students in Australia
Dr Denise Jackson, Edith Cowan University; Professor Ken Greenwood, Edith Cowan University with industry partners
Brief Overview: This project explores current WIL offerings among WA universities and identifies best practice in the WIL processes for international students. Through canvassing employer, academic and student perspectives, it will identify the challenges and barriers experienced in managing WIL among international students and recommend strategies for enhancing their WIL outcomes.
Enhance access, participation and progression in WIL
'Building institutional capacity to enhance access, participation and progression in work integrated learning' is an Office for Learning and Teaching project.
Successful WIL activities offer many benefits to students and can contribute to a sustainable workforce for future economic growth. Yet some students face barriers in gaining access to full engagement with such activities. The aim of this project is to translate inclusive education principles into the WIL context in order to improve student access, participation and progression. The project uses a strategic approach across four levels: principles, policies, guidelines, and processes to support students from diverse backgrounds in the disciplines of built environment, business and health.
More information and/or to make a contribution to the project
The WIL Leadership Framework
The WIL Leadership Framework represents a multi-layered description of the capabilities employed by WIL leaders. These WIL capabilities have been integrated into five WIL leadership domains:
- Shaping the WIL vision
- Creating and sustaining WIL relationships
- Fostering WIL engagement, expertise and student learning
- Communicating and influencing WIL
- Driving organisational and joint industry/university WIL outcomes
The Work Integrated Learning (WIL) Leadership Framework was an Office for Learning and Teaching project, Leading WIL: A distributed approach to enhance Work Integrated Learning.
The goal of the project was to develop:
- a better understanding of the characteristics of WIL and WIL leadership needs in Australia framed within a context of distributed leadership;
- strategies to build the capabilities and capacities that are needed by WIL leaders.
