Endothelial dysfunction: from molecular mechanisms to measurement, clinical implications, and therapeutic opportunities.
ABSTRACT Endothelial dysfunction has been implicated as a key factor in the development of a wide range of cardiovascular diseases, but its definition and mechanisms vary greatly between different disease processes. This review combines evidence from cell-culture experiments, in vitro and in vivo animal models, and clinical studies to identify the variety of mechanisms involved in endothelial dysfunction in its broadest sense. Several prominent disease states, including hypertension, heart failure, and atherosclerosis, are used to illustrate the different manifestations of endothelial dysfunction and to establish its clinical implications in the context of the range of mechanisms involved in its development. The size of the literature relating to this subject precludes a comprehensive survey; this review aims to cover the key elements of endothelial dysfunction in cardiovascular disease and to highlight the importance of the process across many different conditions.
Article: Preventive Effects of a Three-month Yoga Intervention on Endothelial Function in Patients with Migraine.[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Migraine is a neurovascular disorder and any interventions improving endothelial function may contribute to its treatment and prevention of vascular complications like ischemic stroke. Yoga has been shown to have several beneficial effects on cardiovascular systems. However, no randomized controlled studies to date have investigated its effects on endothelial function of migraineurs. A total of 42 women patients with migraine were enrolled and randomized into either a Yoga exercise group or a control group. The control group received only medication for 12 weeks and the Yoga group was placed in yoga training program in addition to the same medical treatment. Blood test was given from all patients in order to measure plasma levels intercellular adhesion molecule (ICAM) and vascular cell adhesion molecule (VCAM) after yoga training program. Totally 32 patients were participated in the final analyses (yoga: n = 18, control: n = 14). By analyzing data between yoga and control groups after the treatment period, there was a significant decreased in plasma level of VCAM in yoga group compare with the control group (15.29 ± 2.1 ng/ml vs. 21.70 ± 3.0 ng/ml, P < 0.05), whereas there was no significant difference in ICAM level between groups (19.1 ± 1.8 ng/ml vs. 20.97 ± 1.9 ng/ml P > 0.05). It seems that yoga exercises, as a complementary treatment beside pharmacological treatments, can be potentially an effective way of improving vascular functions in migraineurs.International journal of preventive medicine 04/2014; 5(4):424-9.
Article: Angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor captopril reverses the adverse cardiovascular effects of polymerized hemoglobin.[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Aim. Cell-free hemoglobin-based oxygen carriers (HBOCs) may increase the risk of myocardial infarction and death. We studied the effect of an angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor on HBOC-induced adverse cardiovascular outcomes and to elucidate underlying mechanisms. Results. With a dog cardiopulmonary bypass model, we demonstrated that a high-dose HBOC (3%, w/v) did not reduce-but aggravated-cardiac ischemia/reperfusion injury. Animals administered a high-dose HBOC experienced coronary artery constriction and depression of cardiac function. Exposure of isolated coronary arteries or HUVECs to a high-dose HBOC caused impaired endothelium-dependent relaxation, increased endothelial cell necrosis/apoptosis and elevated NAD(P)H oxidase expression (gp91phox, p47phox, p67phox and Nox1) and reactive oxygen species (ROS) production. All observed adverse outcomes could be suppressed by the ACE inhibitor captopril (100 µM). Co-incubation with free radical scavenger tempol or NAD(P)H oxidase inhibitor apocynin had no effect on captopril action, suggesting that the positive effects of captopril are ROS- and NAD(P)H oxidase-dependent. ACE inhibition by captopril also contributed to these effects. In addition, bioavailable nitrite oxide (NO) reduced by a high-dose HBOC was preserved by captopril. Furthermore, HBOC, at concentrations greater than 0.5%, inhibited large conductance Ca2+-activated K+ channel currents in vascular smooth muscle cells in a dose-dependent manner, although captopril failed to improve current activity, providing additional evidence that captopril's effects are mediated by the endothelium, but not the smooth muscle. Innovation and Conclusion. Captopril alleviates high-dose HBOC-induced endothelial dysfunction and myocardial toxicity, which is mediated by synergistic depression of NAD(P)H oxidase subunit overproduction and increases in vascular NO bioavailability.Antioxidants & Redox Signaling 02/2014; · 8.20 Impact Factor
Article: Existing and potential therapeutic uses for N-acetylcysteine: The need for conversion to intracellular glutathione for antioxidant benefits.[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: N-acetyl-L-cysteine (NAC) has long been used therapeutically for treatment of acetaminophen (paracetamol) overdose, acting as a precursor for the substrate (L-cysteine) in synthesis of hepatic glutathione (GSH) depleted through drug conjugation. Other therapeutic uses of NAC have also emerged, including the alleviation of clinical symptoms of cystic fibrosis through cysteine-mediated disruption of disulfide cross-bridges in the glycoprotein matrix in mucus. More recently, however, a wide range of clinical studies have reported on the use of NAC as an antioxidant, most notably in protection against contrast-induced nephropathy and thrombosis. The results from these studies are conflicting and a consensus is yet to be reached regarding the merits or otherwise of NAC in the antioxidant setting. This review seeks to re-evaluate the mechanism of action of NAC as a precursor for GSH synthesis in the context of its activity as an "antioxidant". Results from recent studies are examined to establish whether the pre-requisites for effective NAC-induced antioxidant activity (i.e. GSH depletion and the presence of functional metabolic pathways for conversion of NAC to GSH) have received adequate consideration in interpretation of the data. A key conclusion is a reinforcement of the concept that NAC should not be considered to be a powerful antioxidant in its own right: its strength is the targeted replenishment of GSH in deficient cells and it is likely to be ineffective in cells replete in GSH.Pharmacology [?] Therapeutics 09/2013; · 7.79 Impact Factor

Poor Quality Control
This review is from: SAMSUNG CLP Series CLP-415NW Workgroup Up to 19 ppm 9600 x 600 dpi Color Print Quality Color Wireless 802.11b/g/n Laser Printer
Pros: Good print quality when it works.
Cons: On my second unit. Wireless connectivity is non-existent on both. Wired ethernet was broken on the first one. The second one is now crashing any time it goes to sleep, requiring you to power cycle it before each use.
Other Thoughts: Unless you like spending hours on end with tech support, spend the extra for the non-reburb, so you're able to simply get a refund if it fails.

From Wikipedia:Redirects for deletion[edit]
Admin: material incorporated into talk page for limerance. Please delete this page
RFD resolution[edit]
I have resolved the discussion at RFD on this redirect (suggested for deletion 2004-11-22) as no consensus. Here is an archive of the discussion:
- Infatuation -> Limerence: a real word redirects to a neologism... something's wrong with that picture. --Joy [shallot] 01:10, 22 Nov 2004 (UTC)
- Yeah, it is a neologism, but it's one that is i) not super new, ii) not found only on Wikipedia, and iii) seems to have gained a certain amount of usage - Google shows 1,330 hits, some on serious pages (e.g. Yahoo health pages). Now, maybe the article should be at Infatuation, with a redir from Limerance, but if so someone needs to look at it to make any needed changes in the article text. Noel (talk) 14:49, 29 Nov 2004 (UTC)
- Regardless, I'm not arguing against the existence of the article on Limerence. I'm saying that infatuation should be relegated to non-existence (and an automatic link to wiktionary) because it's not the same thing. --Joy [shallot] 14:52, 1 Dec 2004 (UTC)
That's fine with me; I'll delete the redir in a little bit.Noel (talk) 23:55, 1 Dec 2004 (UTC)
- Now that I look at it, there are a number of pages which reference infatuation, and this page seems to describe that as well as limerence. Should we try and make a real infatuation article (perhaps using in part e.g. the last paragraph from this), or what? Noel (talk) 17:42, 2 Dec 2004 (UTC)
- WIth a little luck User:Abexy will rewrite Limerance and move the infatuation related material to Infatuation. Rich Farmbrough 20:03, 22 November 2005 (UTC)
- Yeah, it is a neologism, but it's one that is i) not super new, ii) not found only on Wikipedia, and iii) seems to have gained a certain amount of usage - Google shows 1,330 hits, some on serious pages (e.g. Yahoo health pages).

Noel (talk) 14:49, 29 Nov 2004 (UTC)
Removed subpage from RFD. Demi T/C 18:41, 13 December 2005 (UTC)
Circular Link[edit]
This page directs to "Limerance", saying infatuation is a form of limerance. But the second paragraph of the target page quotes: "infatuation... [does] not refer to limerence" and directs back to this page. Predawn 19:18, 18 September 2006 (UTC)
Redirect to limerence[edit]
- Providing an accurate definition and stubbing the section is preferable to redirecting to a (very) vague approximation.
- Limerence is expressly defined as being distinct from infatuation (indeed, that's the whole rationale for its existence), which leads to a direct contradiction between articles.
- A broader, established concept should never, ever, ever redirect to a narrower, unstable neologism.
188.8.131.52 18:36, 23 October 2006 (UTC)
- Solution: write a page on Infatuation that will pass an afd and move this page to Infatuation (disambiguation). Until then "Providing an accurate definition" is not a solution because disambiguation pages are for disambiguating, not for informing or defining or anything of that nature. Disambiguation.--Hraefen Talk 19:13, 23 October 2006 (UTC)
- Redirecting to limerence is a far less acceptable solution, as it's contradictory, circular and the limerence article is riddled with problems. A definition to determine context and a link to the wiktionary article will suffice for now.188.8.131.52 02:01, 24 October 2006 (UTC)
Agreeing on an Infatuation Page[edit]
Well, I believe that a page should be created on "infatuation," and that at the top of the page a link should be created that the reader can click on to visit the disambiguation stub for infatuation. As with any article, an article on infatuation would require information. Anyone care to visit their local library in search of that information? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Knightskye (talk • contribs) 18:49, 4 November 2006
- I added "see also" limerance because the two concepts are supposedly related (although after reading the article on limerence I can't say that I really know). 184.108.40.206 02:36, 4 September 2007 (UTC)
court case?[edit]
What is the significance of the court case [426 N.W.2d 459 (Minn. 1988)] that is listed as a reference for this article? 22.214.171.124 10:32, 10 April 2007 (UTC)
No relationship between court case and infatuation[edit]
reference removed —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Hengsheng120 (talk • contribs) 22:40, 11 April 2007 (UTC).
I think they should add in ways people with infatuations can control them in their daily lives if it is an issue. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Lindsayhawkin17 (talk • contribs) 21:35, 13 September 2011 (UTC)
delete or not?[edit]
I'm not sure if this article is that important, possibly redirect to crushes. Can you tell me what to do as quick as possible? Again, maybe this article is good to keep? ChocolateLover193 (talk) 20:52, 12 May 2012 (UTC)
- It's different enough from crushes to keep, it just needs to be TOTALLY overhauled. Quoting novels ("Corridors of Power", "Flight of the Stone Angel") as if they're credible sources of information?! The pages on love are among wiki's worst. I cannot even believe someone wrote all this. -12/16/2013 — Preceding unsigned comment added by 184.108.40.206 (talk) 22:36, 16 December 2013 (UTC)

Featured Presentation
A field's productivity is driven by many factors. So it makes sense that management zones would take these factors into consideration as well. Fusing a field's major physical, biological and chemical properties into application-specific management zones can guide everything from seeding rates to where to scout with a UAV.
July 29, 2014 03:30pm - Measuring Soil Properties (Grand Ballroom BC)

InfoAg 2013 was a terrific success. Over 1100 participants shared in presentations on a wide range of topics on technology applications and data management and interpretation. As with previous InfoAg Conferences, the networking among participants was again a highlight of the experience. New relationships formed at InfoAg will lead to greater benefits and opportunities for those involved. Ideas exchanged in the hallways and the exhibit hall will form the basis for the new deliverables at the next conference. Those who took advantage of the Pre-Conference Tour on Monday picked up some additional first-hand knowledge and interactions.
We are back at it, planning InfoAg 2014, to be held July 29-31 at the Union Station Hotel in St. Louis, Missouri, USA. The room block is open and available for reservations.
We have had some excellent suggestions for speakers over the years. From hi-tech innovators giving us a glimpse of what is to come to producers putting all the gear and ideas to work in crop production, InfoAg is an event to stimulate the gray matter. Help shape the program for InfoAg 2014 by suggesting a speaker or topic.

The next time you near the end of a ridiculously tough combination and your legs feel like they can't possibly jump one more time, start talking to yourself—it could help you find energy your muscles didn't know they had.
Physical fatigue is still largely a mystery to scientists, and we are just beginning to learn how big of a role the mind plays in the equation. For a recent study published in the journal Medicine & Science in Sports & Exercise, researchers asked active young men and women to bike to the point of limp exhaustion multiple times. They found that when the riders told themselves things like "Feeling good" aloud or in their heads, they were able to pedal for longer and with greater ease, even though their exertion remained the same.
It seems that a certain amount physical exhaustion is all in our heads. Some speculate that this is our brain's way of protecting the body from overexerting itself. The problem is that our brain can sometimes become a bit too mollycoddling: It would rather keep us safe than let us push to new levels.
So how can you trick your mind into letting you do 16 more fouettés? Dr. Samuele Marcola, senior author of the study, told The New York Times that simply muttering to yourself haphazardly isn't all that effective. Instead, he suggests using phrases you find particularly encouraging and repeating them on a set schedule. So next rehearsal, try starting every eight count by telling yourself, "Werk!"

This week marks a special milestone and anniversary in the history of modern Israel and Israel's rebirth as the nation-state of the Jewish people in the Land of Israel. On November 29, 1947, the United Nations approved resolution 181, laying the foundation for the State of Israel to be born six months later.
The Jewish people met this milestone with festive celebration and an overwhelming affirmation. The Arab and Islamic world responded with hostility, a resounding rejection, and a war that's not ended since. (The full text of the resolution can be found here.
After considerable debate, the United Nations voted to partition the remaining portion of British Mandatory Palestine into Jewish and Arab states. The plan was supported by the Soviet Union and its Eastern European satellite governments, hoping that the new Jewish state would be a safeguard against British imperialism. Due to the support of President Harry S. Truman, and despite State Department advice and Department of Defense pressure otherwise, the United States likewise supported the partition plan, and ensured its passage.
Today, throughout Israel, it's common to find streets and other public areas named "November 29" in honor of this milestone. But the U.N. vote did not take place a whim or an event in itself, but the conclusion of a series of events moving in this direction over the previous decades. Some of these include:
- May 1916 – The Sykes-Picot Agreement, where British and French divided up the Arab provinces of the Ottoman Empire asserting their respective control and influence post WWI, and borders that are still evident and artificial today.
- November 1917 – The Balfour Declaration affirmed British support for a Jewish state, noting "His Majesty's Government view with favor the establishment in Palestine of a national home for the Jewish people, and will use their best endeavous to facilitate the achievement of this object, it being clearly understood that nothing shall be done which may prejudice the civil and religious rights of existing non-Jewish communities in Palestine, or the rights and political status enjoyed by Jews in any other country."
- April 1920 – The San Remo Conference provided the foundation for mandates over Syria, Lebanon, Iraq and Palestine, and included in it the Balfour Declaration as part of the responsibility of the British mandate.
- June 1922 - The British White Paper affirming the Balfour Declaration, but partitioning the area of the mandate by excluding the area east of the Jordan River (the east bank) from Jewish settlement. A total of 76 percent of the original Palestine Mandate land was renamed Transjordan and was given to the Emir Abdullah.
- July 1922 – The League of Nations established the British Mandate over all of Palestine, based on the San Remo conference, affirming in the process the 1917 Balfour Declaration and the British mandate to implement this plan.
Over the following two and a half decades, Jewish immigration and return to Israel continued, but was limited by the British just as the Nazi killing machine was getting up to the capacity that would see 6 million murdered. The Land flourished and prospered, and Arabs from nearby countries also migrated in order to share in the prosperity. There were many cases of Jews and Arabs living together and getting along quite well, but these were overshadowed by the threats and actual violence against Jewish communities as the years went on and Israel's independence drew closer.
The Jews of Palestine, then known as the Palestinians (a term that's been adopted since the 1960s to refer to Arabs in Israel), celebrated. The Arab league rejected the partition plan, and fighting against the fetal Jewish state and Jewish communities erupted throughout the Land.
In 1949, formal fighting ended, but the war never did. The armistice line identifying the positions at the end of fighting became known as the Green Line, with Jordan and Egypt occupying land designated for an Arab state. No borders have ever been defined since because the state of war still exists.
It may be hard to imagine for gentiles, but the weight of 2000 years of history exploded that day in unbridled emotion. I imagine my father as a 10-year-old amid all the celebrations. I get choked up just thinking about it. Some of the history and festivity as related by people who lived through it are well documented in this video.
As much as the UN Partition resolution and many other milestones were significant, what's certain is that it's not the UN that gives Israel legitimacy. Israel's legitimacy comes from the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, in a covenant and promise He made, has not broken, and never will. It's impossible not to see the hand of God in the events leading up to Israel's renewal and birth, and the miraculous victories over Israel's enemies in 1948-49, 1967, 1973, and still today.
And because Israel's rebirth is the fulfillment of God's promise, it's not a coincidence that the last three countries to decide to vote that November 29 to establish Israel as the Jewish state have seen the fulfillment of the promise of Genesis 12:3. In recent years, Liberia, Haiti, and the Philippines have been plagued by disease and natural disasters impacting millions. But it is Israel that has sent help and aid to their countries and it is Israel whose commitment and know how has helped—and is still helping—to save those in need.
This week, Americans celebrate Thanksgiving. In Israel, we have another reason to be thankful.

This is a vegetarian entree from Cooking Light Magazine. Translated from the Germanic Alsatian dialect, baeckeoffe means "baker's oven," as it was traditionally a dish that was brought to the local baker to cook in his oven. It's rich, warm and delicious comfort food! It is a bit time consuming so it's best to make on the weekend when you have a bit more time. I'm printing the recipe as is from my magazine, however to save time I used two separate pans at the same time so that I could get the carmelizing of the onions while reducing down the mushrooms.

I love the new flatbreads that make a great low-calorie pizza crust. My grocery chain carries a brand called "FlatOut" in the deli area. If you can't find flatbreads, use a thin pre-baked pizza crust or use pita breads (split in half to make thin rounds). Top with chicken, caramelized red onion and Gruyere for a very fancy treat that is moderate in calories and fat.

Yorkshire pudding OR why don't I just eat lard?
Anyone out there have a traditional, functional, facsimile, or otherwise delicious recipe for this traditional English farm dish? And have you eaten it? Is it worth it?
I've had it many, many times in the UK and at home. Make sure to serve it with roast beef and its juices (i.e. standing rib roast), roast potatoes and perhaps mushy peas. It is SO worth it. Will look through my best recipes.
Yorkshire pudding is crunchy lard (beef tallow to be more specific). I've had it as an accompaniment to classic roast beef. It was okay, but I thought it detracted from my ability to eat more beef.
Basic technique is really hot fat in a muffin tin into which the batter is poured; basic batter is a variation of milk, flour and egg.
re: wattacetti
We make Yorkshire pudding all the time. It isn't so different from a popover. It's an nice 'sop' with any meat dish that includes lots of jus or gravy. The web abounds with recipes, I've used Tyler Florence's to good results. Just drain some of the juices from the pan when you take the meat from the oven and then whip up a batch of Yorkshire pudding while the meat rests...use a metal pan, though...my English father-in-law, who is an enthusiastic cook and master of Yorkshire pudding, blew up a pyrex pan in my kitchen when he poured it full of hot beef dripping...the kitchen, and thus the pan, was quite cold at the time.)
re: wattacetti
In addition to being totally delicious and the best sop I can think of for roast and gravy, the whole point of Yorkshire pudding was to fill the nooks and crannies of hungry stomachs...so the beef would go further.
Here is a traditional recipe...
http://www.bbc.co.uk/food/recipes/tra.... Incredibly simple to make. It is at least worth one try!
And, yes, of course I've eaten it - it's a traditional accompaniment to roast beef. And , yes, it's worth it - it's a traditional accompaniment to roast beef.
That said, we don't always make Yorkshire Pudding with roast beef. But we always make Yorkshire Salad.
re: Harters
What is this Yorkshire Salad?
My mother makes the best Yorkshire Pudding, it is always the last thing to hit the table and she insists we eat it while it's piping hot.
I'd love to share with her your Yorkshire Salad story.
re: rabaja
Thinly sliced cucumber and onion marinated in malt vinegar.
Very regional to the north of England and, of course, more specifically to Yorkshire. My family name originates from the borders between Lancashire and Yorkshire so I guess generations of Harters have been eating this with their beef
re: Harters
Ah, that's very interesting. My mother, who's mother was Swiss-German sort of passed down a similar recipe with white onions, cucumber, and apple cider vinegar.
re: Harters
My mum always used to make pickled cucumber, which I loved and would eat straight from the jar. We are from Yorkshire - never heard it called Yorkshire salad though!
I adore Yorkshire pudding. I don't think it's any worse for you than popovers. You're just using beef drippings as your fat instead of butter. Same animal. Don't have it every day, but when you do have it, enjoy it without stress or guilt. Those emotions kill you faster than lard.
The same basic batter is used for popovers, dutch baby, toad in the hole, even crepes. The variations have to do with the pan, oven or stove top, sweet or not, and of course, the fat.
While the traditional Yorkshire is baked in a large pan, using drippings from the Sunday roast, the restaurant version tends to be baked in individual sizes.
The amount of fat is highly variable. Most recipes of a dutch baby call for melting a generous amount of butter in the pan, and then adding the batter. But following a recommendation from CI (I think) I find it better to melt the butter and add it to the batter, and then heating only a small amount of oil in the baking pan. This gives butter flavor with less risk of burning the butter.
By the way, lard means pork fat. The traditional Yorkshire roast was beef, whose fat is called suet or tallow. I supposed a mutton roast would work as well, but I don't like the melting point of lamb fat.
A recipe for Sunday roast with Yorkshire Pudding from (British) Historical Foods
In this recipe, the beef drippings (or lard) are only 1/2" deep in the pan.
I can't imagine a good roast beef dinner without Yorkshire pudding, mashed potatoes, and gravy. (I've never made them with lard) I've used this recipe for about 45 years, and don't remember where I found it. I sometimes ask for an extra piece of beef fat from the butcher when I buy my roast, so there will be enough fat for the puddings and gravy.
3 eggs, 1 1/2 cup milk, 1 1/2 cup flour, 1 tsp salt, and about 1/2 tablespoon hot beef drippings in each muffin cup.
Preheat oven to 450 degrees.
Beat eggs and milk well. Add flour and salt and beat until smooth. Heat 1/2 tablespoon drippings, in (each) muffin cups. (ie; put the muffin tin in the oven for a few minutes so that it and the drippings are hot when you pour the batter in.) Pour batter into 12 muffin "cups". Bake 25 to 30 minutes.
*Jamie Oliver says 15 to 20 minutes and DON'T OPEN THE OVEN DURING THIS TIME OR THEY WON'T RISE.
* Many other recipes say cook at 450 degrees for 10 minutes, then reduce oven temperature to 350 degrees and bake 15 to 20 minutes longer - or until fluffy and browned. as per New York Times Cookbook
America's Test Kitchen says 450 degrees for 20 minutes, then reduce to 350 degrees for about 10 more minutes, or until golden brown. Pierce when they come out of the oven to vent steam to prevent collapse. (I've never had a problem with them collapsing and have never pierced mine.)
Well worth the effort, just try it a few times to see what works best for you. Enjoy.
re: Lotti
the beef drippings should be smoking hot.
pour in the batter and watch it poof up and shut the oven door.
i preheat the metal pie pan and the drippings in the oven while i mix up the batter.
IF, there is any yorkshire pudding left over, have it with some jam.
this is what i learned from my mother-in-law who came over from london after WWII, so i would guess her method is very traditional working class method.
re: ritabwh
We never had Yorkshire pudding with jam in our house, but others do so it is traditional for some.
re: greedygirl
red currant jelly.
always hard to divy up beef drippings for gravy or yorkshire pudding.
dont forget horseradish for the beef.
Cooks Illustrated has a recipe that I've used with good success. If you use theirs, though, I recommend making the individual version rather than the whole roasting pan version.
As others have said, they're just a yummy popover, with hot roasting fat as something to pour the batter into.
If the question is really "Yorkshire pudding OR why don't I just eat lard?", I would say that Yorkshire pudding has a much nicer flavor and texture than lard alone. Personally, I don't find lard by itself very interesting as a side dish. A good Yorkshire pudding however, is a special treat for a special meal.
Okay, now to be serious.... the amount of fat in an individual Yorkshire pudding is about the same as a scone, croissant, slice of pie dough, and so many other things. If you can manage to eat those within your calorie intake, then I don't think Yorkshire pudding is gonna blow the belt. A well-made Yorkshire pudding is really delicious, and as others have said, wonderful with a Sunday roast dinner.
Mr. S and I recently catered a British themed event - hot and cold finger food. One of the hot items was a two bite Roast Beef Dinner. Mini Yorkshire puddings (made in a mini muffin pan), filled the hole in the middle with a dollop of mashed potatoes and some thinly sliced roast beef. Squirt of gravy on top.
There were no leftovers.
re: Sooeygun
I did this with choux pastry instead of Yorkshire pudds for a tea. It was the first to go. I think everyone at the tea went back for seconds.
To answer the OP, definitely worth it. I only eat the beef to justify the Yorkshire puddings.

On Sunday, April 11, through Thursday, April 15, the northbound (inbound) lanes of Quincy Shore Drive will be closed for barrier installation from 9 PM to 5 AM and all northbound traffic will be detoured at the northbound exit ramp near the Adams Inn and through the Quincy Loop in order to reverse direction and access the bridge northbound from Hancock Street.
On Monday, April 12, the left lane in the southbound (outbound) direction will be restricted on the bridge from 7 AM to 3:30 PM and the left lane in the northbound (inbound) direction on the bridge will be restricted from 9:30 AM to 3:30 PM. At the completion of the work on Monday, April 12th, the left lane closure in the northbound direction will remain in place from Quincy Shore Drive up to the area of the mid point of the bridge as part of the permanent traffic management plan for the first phase of construction.
On Tuesday, April 13, through Friday, April 16, the left lane in the southbound (outbound) direction and the left lane in the northbound (inbound) direction in the area from the midpoint of the bridge to Neponset Circle will be restricted on the bridge from 7 AM to 3:30 PM.

As part of this work, the dual right turn lanes from Gallivan Boulevard northbound around and up on to the bridge will be brought under full signal control. These lanes currently are controlled by a flashing yellow light and YIELD signs. Beginning Monday morning, April 12th, drivers turning right at this location MUST adhere to the traffic signal indications (green, yellow and red).
MassDOT encourages auto commuters to consider taking advantage of alternative transportation opportunities during the construction work and avoid traffic and increased commuting times. There is currently available capacity on the Hingham Ferry, the Quincy/Hull Ferry and the Greenbush Commuter Rail line. The Red line also runs from Quincy to Boston.

The contest is dated from Oct.17th to Nov. 16th. We will announce the winner on Nov.17th.
The prize is exclusive for the dates of the Nicaraguan Cigar Festival "Puro Sabor 2015″ arriving January 14th and departing January 18th 2015. Prize includes round-trip airfare for two people from the winner's origin to Managua, Nicaragua, and all the expenses for participating in the Festival: lodging, local transportation and meals. It also includes an intimate dinner with Joya de Nicaragua's staff.
The Nicaraguan Cigar Festival is a yearly event which gathers the most important tobacco producers and cigar manufacturers from Nicaragua and the most passionate cigar lovers from around the world. Visitors will be able to see the most impressive tobacco plantations in the region; the most important cigar factories in Estelí and sample some of the best Cigars in the world, all while the experts, factory owners and brand makers share their passion and knowledge in a very intimate way.
For more information on the the 4th Nicaraguan Cigar Festival, please visit www.nicaraguancigarfestival.com
These are some of the participating photos, automatically indexed here by the #RediscoverJoya hashtag.
Nicaragua's 4th Cigar Festival "Puro Sabor" has already been announced for the 15th-18th of January 2015. To get you on the hype of taking part in this great upcoming event, we are sharing Dr. Alejandro Martínez Cuenca's interview from one of Nicaragua's largest newspapers, originally published the day before the 3rd Nicaraguan Cigar Festival started. We translated it for you all:
In the tobacco industry worldwide, the first months of the year tobacco, festivals have been a tradition. It is an invitation to consumers, to retailers, in the US and the rest of the world, for all the companies who belong to the sector to showcase their products. Nicaragua has hosted this festival twice. Lets keep in mind that in Nicaragua, although tobacco history begins in ancentral years, the reality is that the industry began to organize itself in recent years. We are already 12 organized companies around the Nicaraguan Tobacco Asossiation (ANT), and we don't want to pass the chance the country has positioned itself into in the world of tobacco, as one of the principal origins of best quality tobacco.
Cuba has its own festival, Dominican Republic has its own festival, Honduras has also hosted a couple of festivals and Nicaragua its organizing its third.
It's being done in the context in which one of the principal economical engines in global economics is starting to give out signs of recovery, the US, after the crisis it had along the last four years. The objective is to follow the trend in which countries who manage to agglutinate their industry have a once a year opportunity, all equally, to present what they have, what it is they do, how they do it, and that is what the festival is about.
There are visits to factories and fields, so that people soak themselves in the process of manufacturing a cigar. There is a great lack of understanding of what a cigar is… A cigar is a work of art, crafted by Nicaraguan men and women in a artisan industry. Not in the terms it is conceived in popular language, but artisan because it implies the labor of people who create works of art.
Let me answer you with a comparison. What makes a wine from Portugal, France, Chile, South Africa or Australia special? At the end, they are all wines, but each one has their own characteristics. The same happens with tobacco. A tobacco grown in a certain area, Estelí for example, has a very different taste than one from Mexico, Ecuador, Brazil or Costa Rica. It's very different. Nicaragua has rich soil and sun hours which facilitate the plants to do their wonders. That gives it different strength and taste from Dominican, Mexican, Peruvian or Cuban tobacco.
So, with different origins, come different tastes. In the case of tobacco, there are sweet flavors, bitter flavors, strong flavor you can palpate in your palate. Cigars are made to be tasted. To be enjoyed. Not just to put tobacco in your mouth just because. What nature has given to Nicaragua must be enjoyed. And that is what the festival pretends to promote.
In the first place we have demonstrated that we are able, although competing in a globalized world, to get along. The principal goal of a festival is to showcase the harmony that can exist in an industry, in this case, tobacco. It consists in getting al of the producres together, because we all think we are doing the best in the world. Sometimes we are listed on the rankings and sometimes we are not, there are many types of feelings from one to the other, and the festival is a test to the industry itself. In the festival we all expose our work to the public.
In this case it is open to the local audience, too. Not only foreigners, because we want Nicaragua to appropriate itself of this industry, to appreciate it, to be able to make conscience that there have been a number of companies making great effort to position Nicaragua worldwide.
It is an industry that has grown a lot. We surpassed, years ago, the manufacturing and sales of 100 million cigars. We also surpassed the amount of U$100 million some years ago. It is an industry that employs more than 30,000 heads of family, in a direct and indirect way. There are people who work at the factory or fields, and others that work in companies that collaborate with this industry. On average some 180,000 people from the North of Nicaragua live, breath and survive thanks to the tobacco activity.
The economist, Dr. Alejandro Martínez Cuenca is the Chairman & CEO of Joya de Nicaragua, a company which has 46 years of experience in the making of premium cigars in the country. It is the only "authentically Nicaraguan" manufacturer in the tobacco sector.
"For me, since early on in life, tobacco was always a big passion. When the opportunity presented itself to enter this industry, after various efforts, I accepted the challenge. I see myself now obliged to walk through long cities to sale and promote our product", ensured Martínez.
"It's an arduous job that at the end has it reward, when the cigar finally arrives to the mouths of the consumers", he emphasized. "All of the tobacco investigations I have done conduct me to firmly conclude that it is an industry of passion. You come here because of passion. If you enter for money, you are destined to failure", affirmed the owner of Joya de Nicaragua.

Franchises. The most important firms with presence in Nicaragua have opened branches in Estelí.
The industry, commerce, construction, services and agricultural production in the department of Estelí grows more with each day. The location of 1,385.4 square miles has turned into the production heart of one of the best tobaccos in the world.
"Estelí is one of the departments with the fastest growth in its economical activity. The tobacco industry has dynamized the income of currency through the creation of thousands of jobs", declared Hilario Mendoza, a local construction business man.
The tobacco industry in Estelí is responsible for generating more than 60% of the Gross Domestic Product of its six municipalities, according to data by the mayor's office and also generate 30,000 direct jobs and more than 50,000 indirect jobs.
"A lot of investment has been arriving to the department. The tobacco industry is investing in better technology and trying to give added value not only to tobacco, but also to every agricultural product produced here", declared Néstor Plasencia, president of the Nicaraguan Association of Tobacco (ANT).
This department has 201,548 habitants, which corresponds to 3.9% of the total population of the country. It also has 9,109 commercial establishments.
On economical importance, Estelí comes out in 8th place against the rest of departments in Nicaragua, according to a report by the Nicaraguan Fund for Economical and Social Development (FUNIDES). For example, Estelí provides employment to 3.5% of Nicaragua's total workers, it consumes 2.4% of the country's energy; 1.9% of hydrocarbons and 3.7% of the total potable water bill. This department also adds the 1.6% of tax collection. However, it comes out as number 2, only surpassed by Managua, on the quantity of workers affiliated with social security.
The economical boost of Estelí has made it easier for other sectors to develop, such as turism, agriculture and commerce, according to different sources.
Commerce is one of the sectors experimenting the most growth. There is a new shopping center with 47 modules, a luxurious hotel and movie theatres, which together sum up and investment of 4 million dollars.

"The JOYA Red by Joya de Nicaragua is a flat-out fantastic cigar. With the price of $6 a stick and around $109 a box for the Toros, the JOYA Red is literally a steal. Seriously, this is a $15 cigar that is marked for $6. Just amazing. Wow. Find it, buy it, love it." Read the full review here.
"First light reveals a great draw with medium bodied flavors of a smooth slightly sweet creamy tobacco and long oily finish. The first third brings the body down to mild-medium, keeping the same profile just extending the natural sweetness through the finish. Burn is fast but very good." Click here to watch the video.
"This is a full-flavored, medium-bodied cigar that I could see myself smoking (and enjoying) at any time of day. Definitely one to keep in the humidor." Read the full review here.
"…I found the milder strength and milder body worked extremely well with this blend. The tobaccos almost seem to come together in a perfect storm. Add some great construction and balance, and this cigar has all of the makings of a winner." Read the full review here.
"This is a really nice medium cigar right now for me. It's super smooth… Nothing overpowering but very pleasant notes… I'm going to give this one a rating of a 91, which is a very good rating. It's a great medium bodied cigar." Watch the complete review here.
"Red is a very good smoke, showcasing some properties of Nicaraguan tobacco that you might not normally experience. This cigar is a powerhouse of flavor instead of body and nicotine." Read the full review here.
Lauded as a value offering, the Red absolutely blew me away. I am sold on this new line from one of the biggest boutique names around. I mean, for the price it is a hard cigar to pass up. Rating: 92/100." Read the full review here.
"I have smoked five of these cigars so far and what I can tell you is the Joya Red is perfectly constructed… Should you buy it? Definitely. The flavor profile that this cigar is made up of is excellent, the tastes and aromas really make this cigar stand apart from others." Read the full review here.
"The new marketing slogan for the JOYA Red line is "REDiscover JOYA!" And that's exactly what I think you should do. The JOYA Red is a nice change of pace from the guys at JDN and what I would consider an everyday smoke with an everyday price!" Read the full review here.
"The cigar burned perfectly, and was another nice, sweet medium bodied smoke. It has the terrific flavor of the Antaño lines, with a fraction of the strength. This is a great smoke for any time of day." Read the full review here.]]>
Joya de Nicaragua S.A. and House of Horvath Inc. are pleased to announce their exclusive distribution agreement for Canada. Starting September 1st, 2014, House of Horvath Inc. will market, sell, and distribute all Joya de Nicaragua products, including Antaño 1970, Antaño Dark Corojo, Cabinetta Serie, the newly released Joya Red and other brands. The distribution includes all the Canadian provinces.
"As an organization with more than 80 years of history and family tradition, House of Horvath is very proud indeed to enter into a new partnership with a company that aligns completely with our corporate values and mission statement. Joya de Nicaragua shares our commitment to providing the consumer with products of the highest quality standards while maintaining the core principles upon which our organizations were founded" stated Catherine Horvath O'Shea, President of House of Horvath Inc.
Meanwhile, Dr. Alejandro Martínez Cuenca, Chairman & CEO of Joya de Nicaragua expressed: "Being one of the most international brands from Nicaragua, we feel honored to have found in House of Horvath the ideal partner to help us expand our presence in Canada. We have high hopes for a time in which tobacco from our country is so popular. This new partnership will deliver enjoyment to more Canadian consumers by introducing and bringing them closer to Nicaragua's very first and most authentic cigar".
"The JOYA RED tastes almost nothing like any of the rest of the cigars that Joya de Nicaragua makes, and that is most assuredly a good thing. It is exceptionally well balanced, with a great dark cocoa core to the profile that meshes well with the plum-like sweetness that is prevalent throughout the final two thirds and an interesting citrus tartness that shows up every once in a while. Add in the excellent price point and the wonderful draw on all samples, and this is a winner for Joya de Nicaragua no matter how you look at it. A lot of people are going to be very pleasantly surprised by this cigar, and I think that is exactly what Joya de Nicaragua was trying to accomplish. 91 points." Read the full review here.
Joya de Nicaragua's blends are the epitome of a solid cigar. Each and every blend they produce is high quality and the Red is just another example of this. The cigar carries a flawless construction, great flavor profile, excellent experience, all at an affordable cost. The flavors in the Red are bold, complex, and enjoyable while not being overly powerful, nor so complex that they leave you dizzy. This cigar is perfect for the seasoned smoker who really wants a solid experience without the higher price tag, and I really thing the Joya Red is a cigar that most novice cigar smokers should really seek out as it's the perfect example of a great, premium cigar that won't break the bank. This cigar, as with most Joya de Nicaragua releases, is box-worthy and will always have a spot in my regular rotation. Read the full review here.
"I am giving this a 94 rating and besides the fact that it will continue to do well for me, the company has really made a cigar that is incredible and done so while returning to what Joya de Nicaragua is all about. Do yourself a favor, pick one up and Rediscover Joya." Read the full review here.
"Epic. The Joya de Nicaragua Red is a desert island cigar to the max. With its complex notes over a medium strength cigar it is a walk off grand slam home run to win the world series. It has surpassed every cigar I have smoked this year for review and it is a definite contender for Cigar of the Year. The key will be consistency and I look forward to reaching into a box once these appear on the shelves of my favorite tobacconist. Score: 95." Read the full review here.
"Already there are a number of Joya Red reviews online, and the consensus is acclaim. After smoking several Robustos, I am adding to that praise. This is an excellent blend that will almost assuredly be on many year-end lists of the best smokes of 2014. For now, I'm awarding the Robusto four and a half stogies out of five." Read the full review here.
Smoking time was fantastic at fifty minutes, the burn line was razor sharp full length and the wrapper developed a nice oily gloss in the second half. With a price around $5.75 and a flavor mix this complex, the Joya Red is a real bargain. Put this cigar on your to-smoke list! Rated 94. Read the full review here.]]>

Winter Forecast for 2013 - 2014
Reporter: Aubrey Urbanowicz
As the weather continues to get colder many are wondering if we will see a snowy winter.
Here is the outlook from the First Alert Storm Team.
Winter is quickly approaching and every year we look at a number of factors to see what the upcoming winter may hold.
The last several winters have been from one extreme to another.
Refer to the graphic on your right. In the winter of 2009-2010 (also known as the winter of Snowmageddon) snowfall throughout the area topped 50".
As far as last winter we forecast snowfall and temperatures right at average.
That forecast was dead on and we did receive normal snowfall amounts; however, if you'll remember almost 90% of that snow all came in March just before spring.
So let's start first with what is average, or typical for this area.
Based on 30 years, which is how climate averages are calculated, average snowfall for the Valley is about 20 to 25 inches, the graphic to the right is from the National Weather Service in Sterling.
Into the mountains of West Virginia this number increases quite a bit.
Average for the western facing mountains of Highland, Pendleton, and Grant counties can range from 70" to over 100" of snow per winter season.
There is a wide range of average snowfall amounts for the higher elevations.
But this is average, so that's accounting for high snowfall years, as well as the low snowfall winters.
As far as the driving pattern this year like El Nino or La Nina, there isn't either pattern in place.
We call this a neutral phase, or ENSO neutral.
This is the same phase as last winter.
So first, I looked at past ENSO neutral winters in the Valley.
I averaged the snowfall for neutral years going back 50 winters.
That gave an average of 30" of snow during neutral phase years.
Something else we're looking at. is the Eurasian snow cover.
There is a known strong correlation that high amounts of snow cover, especially in October in that part of the globe, leads to a hefty east coast winter.
This October, Eurasian snow cover has increased more than normal.
Now is this full proof? No, but they are some good indicators.
Other factors are the jet stream, and something we've talked about in the past, the Arctic Oscillation, experience and sometime just a gut feeling.
The Arctic Oscillation will bring in cooler temperatures in the negative phase, and mild temperatures in the positive phase.
The forecast for the Arctic Oscillation only goes out about 2 weeks; however sometimes it can stay in the negative/positive phase for a month, or longer.
So this is what the First Alert Storm Team has come up with for the upcoming winter.
We're expecting snowfall slightly above average.
For the Valley, that would be more than about 25" of snow.
We do feel that temperatures are going to be near average, but there is a strong possibility that at the beginning of 2014 we could see temperatures dipping a little below average at that time.
Keep in mind that's also when we tend to see the majority of our snowfall.
January and February are typically the "snowiest" months of the winter.
Now this doesn't specify when we will see snow.
So we could see many small to moderate snow storms, or just a couple of big storms.
If you're a snow lover, this upcoming winter may be one you'll enjoy.
