Place fish in 13x9x2-inch glass baking dish. Whisk achiote paste and next 7 ingredients in medium bowl. Pour achiote mixture over fish; turn to coat. Cover and chill 1 hour.
Prepare barbecue (high heat). Brush shiny side of banana leaves with 2 tablespoons oil; place each on baking sheet, oiled side down (some of leaf will hang over edge of sheet).

Discover the mountains!
Tyrol | Breathe in clear mountain air whilst on a hiking tour, feel the adrenalin going through you on a rafting tour or enjoy the impressive backdrop of snow covered Alpine summits when enjoying a picnic on the Alpine pastures – all this and much one can experience whilst spending a vacation in Tyrol! The Austrian Federal State is one of the most popular and diverse travel destinations in this Alpine Republic and offers a number of holiday options throughout the year.
For example conquer the mountains together with your entire family – either by foot or comfortably with the cable railway. When reaching the top you can enjoy the panoramic view of the Alps. For those seeking a greater challenge might fancy some climbing. There are though a number of hiking routes on offer to reach some of the summits without needing a rope and hooks to get to the top.
A good way to get to know Tyrol's nature is on two wheels. Very well developed cycle routes like for example in Zillertal invite you to go on extensive tours. But also mountain bikers will love it here as there are different routes which offer different challenges and levels of difficulty.
Want even a greater dose of nature? Then pay a visit to the National Park Hohe Tauern and be enchanted by these unique mountains. This national park is one of the biggest of its kind in Europe. There is an array of flora and fauna as well as being home to more than 10,000 animals species. With a bit of luck you might be able to observe a marmot, chamois, golden eagle or also an Alpine ibex.
A pleasant paddle with the canoe or a tumultuous rafting tour – there are an abundance of water sport activities to be enjoyed in Tyrol. Relaxing canoe trips on Tyrol's rivers provide for an ideal change and fascinate with lovely views of both towering mountain ranges. You are sure to have a great bathing holiday at the Tyrol seas such as for example Lake Achen during the summer months.
During the winter of course winter sport takes centre stage in most of Tyrol's ski regions. Whether downhill skiing, cross country skiing, snowboarding or sledging – Tyrol ski regions have a lot to offer and are regarded as some of the best in the world. Popular destinations with atraveo customers for a nice winter vacation are Ötztalarena Sölden and Brixental-Wilder Kaiser.
In regards to vitality, relaxation and natural experience it is difficult to outdo Tyrol. At the end of each day you can reflect upon another adventurous day with your loved ones on the terrace of your hut and make plans for the next days. atraveo provides more than 4,000 holiday apartments and houses in Tyrol. Particularly popular are the regions National Park Hohe Tauern, Zillertal, Paznauntal and Oberinntal as well as the towns Fügen, Kappl, Längenfeld, Mayrhofen, Sölden and Stumm. Further information on holiday home vacation in Tyrol can be found in the holiday home selection for Tyrol.

Pleasurable Candy and Chocolate Shopping
The kids and I are reading Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. Candy is a rare experience in our household so we are going on special sampling expeditions. Any suggestions for non-crappy candy and chocolate options that are also an enjoyable experience. I'd like good smells and perhaps eye-popping displays.
Dylans Candy Bar might be the obvious choice but that doesn't make the grade. Most the candy sold there is pedestrian with really low quality ingredients and additives. I am considering Socker Brite on Third which is supposed to be mostly natural but would consider other options if available.
What about for chocolate?
Best English Toffee anywhere is made fresh daily at Littlejohn's Candies in the Original Farmers Market. Great selection of other candies too.
6333 W 3rd Street Stall 432
Los Angeles, California 90036
Try socerbit the Swedish spot next to carmela on 3d. Great variety. All natural. Free sample box. Catty corner from farmers market and littlejohns. Lots of bins and great variety.
re: maudies5
Compartes is my absolute favorite. For those east of the 405, I understand an outpost is going in at Alfred's coffee on Melrose Place.
Also, if you feel like taking a drive, there's a candy shop on 2nd street in Belmont Shores that sounds, aesthetically speaking, like what you're looking for. Their candy, though, is of the cheaper variety. Lots of old-fashioned stuff, too, if I remember.
Mitsuwa in Torrance has a confections counter. I think all of their product is from Japan. It's not Willy Wonka - more boutique in feel. Not sure if that works foe your purposes.
re: Smallwonder
Edelweiss also has location at Brentwood Country Mart
Lee Gelfond does custom made chocolates, and it's fun to look at her samples...quality chocolate shapes from footballs to spike heels. She's on Robertson, B.H. A little shop that's a bit hard to see from the street. Check out her website, or read about her on Yelp.
It's pricey but Teuscher in Beverly Hills has fantastic chocolate, and these really cute decorative boxes that my daughter has cherished and kept intact for years.
Burt and Rocky's in Claremont also has a really nice candy selection. It's far but worth a trip, especially if you pal around downtown claremont with the kids.
+2 on Edelweiss.
+1 on Littlejohns.
"Sweet" at the Dolby Theater at Hollywood and Highland has everything Dylan's has and more but they will CUSTOM make you candy bars, you pick the ingredients. They have bizarre and rare candies and also guys making fresh old fashioned candy. It's really a fun place!

SCF trial draws to a close
Relevant offers
New Zealand's longest and most expensive criminal case, the South Canterbury Finance (SCF) trial, has finally drawn to a close.
The trial began 5-1/2 months ago on March 12 at the High Court in Timaru before Justice Paul Heath.
Former SCF directors Ed Sullivan and Robert White, and former chief executive Lachie McLeod, face 18 charges.
The charges were brought by the Serious Fraud Office after SCF's collapse and the resulting $1.58 billion payout under the Crown guarantee scheme.
The charges were laid against the three in late 2011 after chairman Allan Hubbard died in a car crash in September 2011.
The SFO has said Hubbard remained a person of interest.
The case finished with McLeod's counsel, Jonathan Eaton, QC, closing and painting a picture of the former chief executive being out of his depth who had relied on the advice of others, mostly from Hubbard.
"Mr McLeod is not a dishonest man," Eaton said.
"Throughout the course of this trial your honour has been armed with much information to make an assessment of Mr McLeod's true character. Clearly the traits of his character appealed to Mr Hubbard. Hardworking, well liked and loyal.
"The hindsight cynical view would be that Mr Hubbard knew Mr McLeod was not equipped with the qualifications, experience and skill set to carry out what would be the typical CEO role and that might be seen as reflecting a degree of reluctance of Mr Hubbard to lose control."
Eaton described McLeod as being loyal to a fault.
"Perhaps he was too loyal to Mr Hubbard. Perhaps, he like so many others, put Mr Hubbard on a pedestal and placed in him too much faith, trust and reliance. Loyal to a fault? Perhaps. Loyal to the point of knowingly engaging in dishonesty? No.
"The proper verdicts on all counts are verdicts of not guilty."
The law did not recognise guilt by loyalty or guilt by association to Hubbard, he said. "There can be little doubt that Mr Hubbard was an extremely influential and stubborn and determined man.
"However, what immediately distinguishes him from others in a similar positions is that he is undisputed that his driving ambition was to benefit his investors. Personally he was frugal in the extreme and his life was devoid of the trappings of wealth.
"It is important to recognise that there is no suggestion that a single dollar was redirected through fraudulent transactions to benefit any accused."
SCF had enjoyed extraordinary growth between 2005 and 2009.
"However, the essential structures in place did not develop to cope with that level of growth. It is plain that South Canterbury failed to make a successful transition from being a closely held company to being one of the largest finance companies in New Zealand."
When interviewed by the SFO, McLeod described his last 12 months at SCF as being the most stressful of his life, stating: "I was under immense pressure working seven days a week. Unfortunately, this period was poorly led by the chairman, Allan Hubbard." Justice Heath will give his verdicts on October 14.

County, pension association to face off in court
That, they said, could hurt the county's bond ratings, and force taxpayers to pay higher interest rates when the county borrows money to build things -- such as a planned $390 million county office complex.
The association itself has unsuccessfully tried to come up with plans to address the health benefit issue, but has done little over the last two years.
Still, the Jacob-county ultimatum prompted angry retirees to call for Jacob's removal from the retirement association -- which, unlike the supervisors, has the sole duty to protect retired county employees.
In February, association attorney Regina Petty told association board members that Jacob had an obvious conflict of interest and should not be allowed to vote or discuss the health benefit proposal.
Sansone said the county saw no conflict. Finally, at the association's March 1 meeting, board members voted, under a six-month-old association policy, to force Jacob to recuse herself.
Jacob objected, saying the association board was "inappropriately and unlawfully" depriving her of her right to participate, and that the county would sue.

Guten Tag All!
I will be brewing this beer for a local contest tomorrow and some input on the recipe would be greatly appreciated.
this is what i am thinking.
8# munich malt
3# cara munich
1# honey malt
Brew house Eff. at 65%
for an OG of 1.056
SRM of 18.9
Perle and Halletauer for the hops
Vial of German Lager yeast
Thoughts..........Suggestions.............all are welcome.
"Just because i don't care dosen't mean I don't understand." -Homer Simpsonhttp://www.modernmonks.com
Dunno about honey malt--never used it.
3 lbs of caramunich is a sick large amount. Most recipes call for more like 8-12 ozs.
Also, most dunkel recipes use a small amount of chocolate or carafa for color.
cweston is right. Alternately, you could use crystal 120L for the darker color, and give yourself some more caramelly, and not such a roasty, flavor profile. Or go half and half.
Here is my problem.
When the contest was announced we were given a list of grains to choose from. Vienna malt was one of them so i was going to make a vienna lager. we were then told that the vienna was not availiable and munich was the substitute, so i switched gears to a munich dunkel but not in time to change what i wanted for the ingredients as they provide them so everyone is on a level playing field.
I can up the honey malt for the color as i have about 6 lbs of that but im not sure what that will do to the flavor. I need the honey for the SRMs i guess. So maybe like:
8# munich
3# honey malt
1# cara munich
What kind of Munich malt is it? Those are the only three grains you can use? I would do an all Munich with around 7-8% CaraMunich. Ditch the honey malt altogether.
No, there was around 6 different grains but when i was planning on the vienna lager these were the grains i was going to use but then they did not have the avaliability of the vianna malt i think it may be a bit hard to make a veinna lager with no vienna malt so i changed to a dunkel and now dont know what to do with the grains i have.

Historians consider the papal bull Unam sanctam - which proclaimed that there is no salvation outside of the Church - to be one of the most extreme statements of papal spiritual supremacy ever made.
It stemmed from Pope Boniface VIII's ongoing feud with Philip the Fair of France over Philip's taxation of clerics without papal consent.

Although guillotine-like apparatuses were used for executions in several European countries before France adopted it as its only legal method of execution during the French Revolution, the beheading machine is most commonly associated with this period in French history and is in fact named for the physician who was instrumental in having the National Assembly adopt it as France's preferred method of capital punishment, Joseph-Ignace Guillotin.

Hemp seeds are one of the most wholesome and nutritious foods available today. Despite being closely related to the cannabis plant, hemp seeds have become widely popular as a health food in recent years.
The list of reasons to eat hemp seeds is vast, ranging from antioxidant and anti-aging properties to the prevention of heart disease and diabetes. Hemp seeds also contain all 10 essential amino acids, making them an ideal source of protein for vegetarians and meat eaters alike.
Hemp seeds usually come pre-shelled and appear small and round. When eaten raw, they have a mild nutty flavor that makes a pleasant addition to almost any recipe.
Interested in adding hemp seeds to your diet? Here are a few ideas to get you started.
Raw hemp seeds can provide a great nutritional boost to any salad. Sprinkle a few tablespoons of hemp seeds on top of your favorite spring mix and enjoy.
As the debate over legalizing marijuana heats up, many continue to dispute the value of marijuana as a treatment for various ailments. But, as the following facts show, history tells a much clearer story.
1. The earliest record of medical marijuana comes from ancient China.
In 2737 BC, Chinese Emperor Shennong wrote a book on medicine that included cannabis as a treatment for many conditions. According to ancient Chinese texts, cannabis was thought to be helpful for constipation, gout, rheumatism and absent-mindedness.
Interestingly, Shennong was not only an emperor but a pharmacologist as well. He was said to have tried hundreds of herbs on himself in order to test their medical value.
2. Ancient Egyptians were the first to use cannabis as a treatment for tumors.
The 2nd century Fayyum Medical Papyrus, an ancient Egyptian text, is believed to contain the earliest record of cannabis as an ingredient in cancer medicine.
While little is known about the successes of ancient Egyptian cancer treatments, cannabis continues to receive significant interest as a cancer therapy today.
3. Cannabis was used as a veterinary medicine in ancient Greece.
The ancient Greeks used cannabis to dress wounds and sores on their horses after battle. The plant was also given to humans for a variety of ailments, including ear pain and inflammation.
Interestingly, the practice of medical cannabis is believed to have spread to Arabic countries from ancient Greece.
4. Medical marijuana was introduced to Western medicine in the mid-1800s.
Many people who use marijuana say that it helps relieve anxiety. On the other hand, there are just as many who report feeling more anxious after using marijuana. Although the exact details remain a mystery, a possible explanation may lie in the specific chemical make-up of cannabis.
As most marijuana users are aware, not all cannabis is the same. There are a wide range of strains available, and many are believed to have unique effects on their user.
What makes strains unique from one another is their active ingredients, also known as cannabinoids. Although clinical research is lacking, knowing the differences between strains and how they affect anxiety can be helpful.
THC vs. CBD
The two most common chemicals in cannabis are THC and CBD. Although most strains contain both compounds, levels of THC and CBD tend to vary from strain to strain. Interestingly, research shows that THC and CBD can have opposite effects on anxiety.
THC is responsible for the marijuana high and is also strongly linked to feelings of paranoia, especially when taken in high doses. This is because THC activates an area of the brain responsible for fear the amygdala.
CBD, on the other hand, is believed to counteract the mind-altering effects of THC. What's more, studies have shown that when taken on its own CBD can lower anxiety in both healthy and anxiety-prone individuals.
Types of Cannabis
The reason why marijuana is often associated with anxiety may be because most plants are bred to be rich in THC. The way CBD and THC are produced within the plant causes strains with high THC to have less CBD (and vice versa).
Just over half of rheumatology specialists believe cannabis or cannabis-based medicines can help in the treatment of rheumatic conditions like arthritis, according to a survey by the Canadian Rheumatology Association.
The results were published last month in the journal BMC Musculoskeletal Disorders.
Of the 128 doctors that responded to the survey, 55% thought there was a role for cannabis or cannabinoids in treating rheumatic conditions. 45% said there was no role.
Despite the divide in opinion, the vast majority of respondents said they were unsure of how to prescribe cannabis.
Over 75% of respondents said they lacked confidence in their "current knowledge of the endocannabinoid system in health and disease." What's more, 90% of respondents said they would not feel confident writing a prescription that included dosing, frequency and method of administration.
Those that did feel confident recommending a dose offered 0.5-3 grams/day as a starting dose. A single dose per day was the most commonly recommended treatment schedule, with others suggesting 2-3 doses per day.
The lack of confidence among rheumatologists is concerning, conclude the authors of the survey, considering the widespread use of marijuana by patients with arthritis.
While prescription painkillers cause thousands of overdose deaths each year, no one has ever died from a marijuana overdose.
But is it even possible to overdose on weed? The answer is no, according to the National Cancer Institute. And here's why:
"Because cannabinoid receptors, unlike opioid receptors, are not located in the brainstem areas controlling respiration, lethal overdoses from Cannabis and cannabinoids do not occur."
In other words, marijuana and opioids affect different pathways of the body. Opioid pathways, also known as receptors, are present in areas of the brain that control breathing. As a result, taking too many painkillers can cause a person to stop breathing.
But marijuana acts on a completely different set of pathways. These pathways are called cannabinoid receptors and they do not affect respiration. Thus, marijuana cannot cause someone to stop breathing, no matter how much they ingest.
Therapeutic Index
Another way of measuring a drug's safety is by its therapeutic index. The therapeutic index is the ratio between a drug's lethal dose and its therapeutic dose (amount that causes a therapeutic effect).
Studies show that marijuana has a therapeutic index of 40,000:1. This means someone would have to take 40,000 times the normal amount of marijuana in order to die.
According to the World Health Organization, marijuana is the most popular recreational drug worldwide. However, unlike many other recreational drugs, marijuana is widely used as a medicine as well.
This fact, along with marijuana's legal status, has led to much confusion over the differences between medical marijuana and recreational marijuana.
If you're feeling a bit puzzled yourself, here are a few things to consider.
1. The earliest use of marijuana was in medicine.
Critics often argue that marijuana's medical benefits are exaggerated by people who just want to use it for fun. But this is far from the truth.
In fact, the earliest records of marijuana come from ancient Chinese and Indian medical texts, in which the plant was described as a medicine with many uses. Some of these uses, such as arthritis and pain management, represent the most common conditions that marijuana is prescribed for today.
Likewise, recent surveys show that a majority of doctors believe cannabis still has a place in modern medicine.
2. Some types of marijuana can get you high.
It's true that marijuana is often used to get high, which is why it is labeled a recreational drug. The high is caused by a single chemical in marijuana known as tetrahydrocannabinol (THC).
THC acts on different parts of the brain to create a feeling of euphoria or pleasure. THC also stimulates appetite and sleep, and is known to enhance certain sensations such as smell, taste and temperature.
Over the past few decades, THC levels in marijuana have skyrocketed due to demand from recreational users.
But while ingesting THC may be fun for some users, experts believe the high can have medical benefit as well. For instance, euphoria may be a desirable effect for patients undergoing palliative care or for those who suffer from chronic pain.
3. Other types of marijuana cannot.
Marijuana, unlike most modern day medicine, contains a wide range of chemical compounds. Scientists have identified over 60 unique molecules in cannabis known as cannabinoids, which include THC and CBD. Many other non-cannabinoid compounds are produced by the plant that also have regulatory effects.
For example, terpenes, the molecules responsible for marijuana's smell, have been shown to block some cannabinoid receptor sites in the brain while promoting cannabinoid binding in others. As a result, terpenes are believed to affect many aspects of how the brain takes in THC or CBD, while offering various therapeutic benefits of their own.
In fact, while THC has gotten most of the attention, studies suggest many of the compounds in marijuana work together to produce a synergy of effects. This is known as the 'entourage effect.'
Understanding Strains
Marijuana comes in thousands of different varieties, or strains. Different marijuana strains have vastly different chemical profiles that cause different experiences in the same person.
This explains why sometimes marijuana can make a person feel calm, while other times it can make that same person feel anxious or paranoid.
The chemical components of marijuana include, but are not limited to, terpenes, ketones, esters, lactones, alcohols, fatty acids, and steroids. The effects of all these chemicals working together and regulating each other will be much different than the effects of any one chemical working alone.
In other words, marijuana is made up of thousands of different chemicals that work together to produce some general effect. Change the recipe and you change the effect.
The Entourage Effect An Example
One of the starkest examples of the entourage effect was a British study that gave patients pure THC intravenously one day, and then a mixture of THC and CBD intravenously a week later.
Nicky Taylor, the host of the BBC documentary "Should I Smoke Dope?," participated in the study and filmed it for the world to see:
Although she kept referring to cannabidiol (CBD) inaccurately as "cannabinoid," the end result was so illustrative of the entourage effect that it's hard to be too annoyed.
As you might know, we from TurismoAssociati.it are creating free certified applications for Windows Phone and we're having a Store on the Microsoft website where you can browse or download the useful, fun and educational apps: HERE IS THE LINK.
But today I want to present to you, our reader, an app created by another serious developer named Clickland.
Monetal, HERE IS THE LINK TO THE STORE, is the first finance/money tracker with multiple devices support for WP. It's really an useful and intuitive application. Personally, I've been using it for the last 12 months finding it's convenience more than welcomed on any smartphone or tablet using a WindowsPhone Operating System.
The first feature is it attracts wealth. It really does. One important rule of economy is keeping track of the expenses during the tax year, and this app just provides you the tools to keep sufficient records of your purchases during any day, week or month.
The great Groucho Marx once said: "Marriage is a wonderful institution, but who wants to live in an institution?". I'll say, married or not, you want to always have available a detailed payment history where you can consider in real time your costs, revenues or debts and to assess budgets of the different currency accounts.
The absolutely free version with no ads invites you to purchase the other two versions of the best WP7 and WP8 finance tracker ever for few extra bucks.
The app has instant loading and one can add a transaction with only 3 clicks. To start using Monetal, fist of all, you have to create one or more accounts by tapping the "+" button on the main screen; then type the name of the new account, its current balance and select a currency.
When you create a transaction hold your finger on the selected category and you will be prompted to add a note.
You can upload reports and create backups of your transactions to OneDrive. Don't forget that updating the app will help you find the currencies you need during your world travelling (first of all we've noticed that some time ago there was no romanian RON or LEU available to choose).
People who smoke marijuana before bed often struggle to recall their dreams the next morning. Yet, when these individuals stop smoking, they tend to experience more vivid dreams than before.
Marijuana is known to affect various aspects of sleep, including activities that are not involved with dreaming. But there's a simple reason why marijuana users tend to have less dreams.
This phenomenon can be explained by how marijuana affects the sleep cycle, specifically a stage known as rapid eye movement (REM) sleep.
Marijuana and REM Sleep
The brain is most active during REM sleep and most dreaming is thought to occur during this stage. Numerous studies have shown that using marijuana before bed reduces REM sleep. Researchers believe this is why marijuana users report fewer dreams.
During the night, the brain cycles through 4 different stages of sleep, spending the most time in deep sleep (or slow-wave sleep) and REM sleep. The amount of time spent in these two stages is closely related. In fact, studies show that marijuana lengthens the time the brain spends in deep sleep, which leads to less REM sleep.
Ingesting THC or marijuana before bed also appears to reduce the density of rapid eye movements during REM sleep. Interestingly, less REM density has been linked to more restful sleep.
Most studies on marijuana and REM sleep have looked at the effects of THC. However, other compounds in marijuana may interfere with THC's effect on sleep. For example, CBD has been found to promote wakefulness compared to taking THC alone.
What Happens When Quitting
Regular users of cannabis experience an abnormal increase in REM sleep when use is stopped. This is called the REM rebound effect, which leads to longer and denser periods of REM sleep. The REM rebound explains why cannabis users often experience highly vivid dreaming when trying to quit.
Marijuana users have reason to worry when it comes to taking a drug test. Marijuana is known to stay in the system for much longer than other drugs. What's more, the window of detection for THC is often unpredictable.
While infrequent users are usually clear within 3-4 days, a new study suggests that heavy users can still test positive on blood and urine tests following more than 2 weeks of abstinence.
To conduct the study, researchers recruited a group of 39 marijuana smokers who had used marijuana "daily or almost daily" for 6 months prior. The group was asked to submit to blood and urine tests during the detoxification process.
By the end of the study, more than half of blood and urine samples submitted still contained enough THC to trigger a positive reading on standard drug screens.
Blood and Urine THC
It's no secret that marijuana can affect a person's memory. In today's society, the stereotypical marijuana user is often perceived as someone who is forgetful and absent-minded.
But what does science say, and is there any truth behind this popular belief?
Effects On Memory
Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), the main psychoactive ingredient in marijuana, is known to impair nearly all aspects of memory. There is one exception, though. THC does not affect the recall of existing memories.
The most obvious effect of THC is the disruption of short-term memory. This means it will be harder to form new memories while high. THC also impairs the consolidation of short-term memories into long-term memories. This makes it difficult to remember what happened during the high even after it wears off.
But THC does not impair your ability to recall existing memories. So, marijuana users will be able to remember things like their name and where they live, no matter how high they might get. Similarly, marijuana use does not lead to memory loss or dementia.

Stunted by construction bids that came in twice as high as expected, the skate park planned for Radtke Park in West Allis won't become a reality this year, .
The Common Council on Tuesday promised that the city will re-bid the project next spring. While the designer of the skate park estimated the cost at $300,000, the lowest of the two bids came in at $651,175, prompting aldermen reject the bids.
City officials expect a better result next spring. They acknowledged that summer is generally a bad time to bid a project, because construction companies already have their work lined up. The other factor they note is that the designer didn't provide as many specifications as usual to guide construction companies as they develop their bids.
The skate park would be paid for with federal Community Development Block Grant money and an anonymous foundation.
The facility in Radtke Park, at 84th Street and National Avenue, would be used mainly by skateboarders, scooter riders and trick bikers.

Lions Watch: Six Nations offers food for thought
ESPN Staff
February 4, 2013
Billy Twelvetrees crashes over on his England debut © PA Photos
The countdown to the eagerly-awaited British & Irish Lions tour to Australia intensified at the weekend with the start of the Six Nations.
As we all tick off the days until the team depart Down Under, ESPNscrum will cast an eye across the action and pinpoint those players eligible for the elite tourists who are pushing their selection claims with strong performances. But luckily there is still a lot of rugby to be played until the squad board the plane for Hong Kong and plenty of time for hopes to rise and fall.
15. Stuart Hogg (Scotland)
The Scottish fullback sliced open England early on in their Calcutta Cup clash and was a constant threat with ball in hand. A very assured performance capped off with a superb individual try.
14. Sean Maitland (Scotland)
He marked his debut for the men in blue with a try and on occasions had Mike Brown peddling backwards at some pace. While there are some yet to be convinced by the manner Scotland have fast-tracked him into the side, he looks to be a very worthwhile addition to their XV.
13. Brian O'Driscoll (Ireland)
In what was one of the performances of the season, O'Driscoll terrorised the Welsh defence. He created Simon Zebo's score and bagged a try of his own. A vintage effort.
12. Billy Twelvetrees (England)
He made his debut for England in the Calcutta Cup clash but the Gloucester centre looked right at home on the Test stage. He marked his first cap with a try and carried well throughout.
11. Simon Zebo (Ireland)
You will see Zebo's outrageous piece of skill en route to Cian Healy's try - where he flicked the ball up with his heel and then caught it - on a constant loop over the next few weeks. It was just incredible but it was a solid performance overall from the young Munster winger including his second try in an Ireland shirt.
10. Owen Farrell (England)
After shining for England against the All Blacks in December, Farrell continued where he left off against Scotland. He was the deserved recipient of the Man of the Match award and is a real contender for a place in the Lions' team.
9. Ben Youngs (England)
Despite Danny Care scoring a late try for England, Youngs should keep the No.9 shirt for the Ireland clash next weekend. Youngs was always quick to the breakdown and also put in a fantastic pass for Twelvetrees' try.
Sean O'Brien shone for Ireland © Getty Images
1. Cian Healy (Ireland)
The Leinster loose-head got the better of Wales tight-head Adam Jones and marked the occasion with a try. He looks certain to be the Lions' No.1 come the summer.
2. Rory Best (Ireland)
One of Ireland's stellar performers against Wales, Best hit his men in the lineout and was omnipresent on the pitch. Despite his sin-binning, Best's Lions stock rose this weekend.
3. Mike Ross (Ireland)
Ross celebrated signing a new deal with the Irish Rugby Football Union with a solid display to help overpower the Welsh in the first half and deny them a famous comeback in the second.
4. Mike McCarthy (Ireland)
The soon-to-be Leinster lock put in a great performance in front of the watching Warren Gatland. He made 18 tackles, without missing one, and carried well.
5. Geoff Parling (England)
While he is widely regarded as a great lineout operator, Parling also bagged a try against Scotland. He always plays the full 80 for Lancaster and should clear his summer schedule as he should be on Lions duty.
6. Tom Wood (England)
A lot of what Wood does goes unseen but he was the outstanding back-rower on show at Twickenham on Saturday. He is the perfect foil to Chris Robshaw and could yet get the nod for the Lions
7. Sean O'Brien (Ireland)
He made an astonishing 23 tackles and got the better of Wales rival Sam Warburton. He has been out of the loop recently on the Test stage due to injury but O'Brien is back to his best.
8. Toby Faletau (Wales)
Wales' star performer, Faletau came close to scoring a try and made 66 metres with the ball in hand - a top showing.
