Italian Question
I am Italian and when I was a kid visiting my family in Italy, I was taught to eat long shaped pasta with a fork and a large spoon, so as to grab the spagetti with your fork and roll the pasta in the spoon for maximum efficiency. I have always lived by it, and even in places like Babbo in NY, the practice seem to be commonplace. However, I notice it's not done in Los Angeles, even at the best of Italian restaurants. My question is this: Is eating spaghetti, linguine, fettucini, etc. with a fork and SPOON against etiquitte? I've always insisted that using the large spoon for long pasta is the Italian way because of my family in southern and even northern italy, but I could be wrong. This could be just a small town italian thing. I'm out to lose a bet here, any thoughts? Any Italians out there who can relate to my spoon necessity.
Third generation Sicilian and we eat it with a spoon and fork. I find that some restaurants in LA either provide a spoon when the pasta is served or more frequently inquire if I want a spoon. Otherwise, I ask for one. I LOVE eating pasta this way. I think it reminds me of my childhood and the pasta tastes better to me.
This post will probably get moved to general food topics, but I would say you are not out of place eating pasta with a fork swirled in a spoon, although I've more commonly seen it swirled on a fork against the plate directly. It could be that people in LA don't know how to properly eat pasta. I myself, who grew up here, was taught to CUT my spaghetti as a kid -- it wasn't until I went to NYC and Italy itself that I learned to swirl the spaghetti around the fork on the plate (or against a spoon), as an alternative to cutting the pasta.
I spent a couple years in the North of Italy in the Lakes region. I was taught there that while in the US it's common to use a spoon that it was not done in Italy. During the time I was there I was never offered one nor saw a table set with one for pasta.
I grew up in Los Angeles however and do remember seeing spoons being used at neighborhood red sauce Italian restaurants. I moved away before I could afford any of the higher end restaurants in the city so don't know what the norm there is.
re: ziggylu
I learned this as a 14 years old in Pacentro, Italy, which is a small town in Abruzzo just a few minutes outside Sulmona. The best carbonara I have had in my life was served and they were truly offended if you tried to eat it without a spoon. Maybe it's just a question of family tradition if you had that experience in the north.
Here's some Italians who have replied to a thread regarding the aforementioned topic...
'Secondo il galateo è corretto mangiare gli spaghetti con forchetta e cucchiaio?'
The consensus is a resounding ... YES! ...it is AGAINST etiquette (galateo) to use a spoon.
Linko: http://it.answers.yahoo.com/question/...
I use a fork and spoon to eat long stringy pasta. So there. I've broken a rule of "galateo". Personally, I think it looks less beastly that way, than to hover over a dish with just a fork in one's hands. I suppose it's fine if you're wearing an animal skin.
Swirling the spaghetti onto the fork is intended to round-up those long noodles so that they don't dangle down from the fork and go flip-fam-floom all over your face and shirt/blouse. I recall eating at Vinces out in Onterio and in Torrance when I moved there. A big spoon was provided with the order of Spaghetti. A Spaghetti bib would also quickly be provided upon request.
Below is a link to some junk by Anna Maria saying that using a spoon is "bad form." I guess she would not approve of my bib either. Anna fails to mention that splattered spaghetti sauce all over my white shirt and tie is Waaaaay UnCool and that is worst than "bad form" – it shows that I am a slob.
But times they are a-changin'. In the SGV here in L.A. I have noticed some Asian Americans forgoing any attempt to swirl the spaghetti "noodles"onto the fork whatsoever. I have seen some good people simply tilting the head directly over the plate and using the fork to gracefully shovel the spaghetti into the mouth and then eat it ramen style. That seems to me to be the best way to keep your shirt clean and to really enjoy your Spaghetti. Now, can you guess why I get my Spaghetti to go?

re: JeetJet
Very Funny! It reminded me that when we were kids (9 of us) we went to Grandma's house on Sundays after church for big Italian dinners and my mother would make us eat in our undershirts and slips.
interesting...I always thought it was bad etiquette, as my american born Dad does use a spoon(and uses a spoon to eat almost anything) but my grandparents and older Italian relatives do not. sometimes the pasta requires that, maybe it depends on the pasta?
re: Gio
I agree with you. One can certainly use a spoon if that is one's preference, but it is unnecessary. It's just as easy to twirl the fork against the side of the plate. My boyfriend's family are Italian and I have never seen any of them use a spoon, nor is it the norm in higher-end Italian restaurants. I only see people eating spaghetti like this is casual neighborhood places.
Just to add to the confusion, many Italian immigrants who came to America were anxious to become like "real Americans" and dropped anything that they didn't see being done. Of course, some were just the opposite. The first type would probably drop that spoon when they saw it not being done. It may be not believable, but some or that may have trickled back to the "Old Country." I doubt that there is really any proper etiquette involved, unless we make some.
Gio - thanks for Ed Giobbi. I got both of them.
re: yayadave
You're welcome, Dave. I hope you enjoy his recipes as much as I do!
As for the 'etiquette' of the fork and spoon use with spaghetti is concerned, I have seen it used in this country, and do not consider it a breach of any kind. Some people do and some don't as with anything else. However, as I said, it was not done in my family and extensions thereof.
only fair for a jewish vote from an italian neighborhood. Gotta use a spoon and long pasta. every italian friend's hous i went to growing up did it, all the italian restos did it and therefore jfood did it.
This is an interesting question, and I was thinking along the lines of yayadave, about immigrant attempts to 'fit in', and perhaps those practices filtering back to the old country. My experience: while I'm not Italian, there was a significant Friulan influence in my childhood, and there was no spoon at the table. Granted, Friuli is not the hotbed of pasta (pass the polenta!), but no spoon. As a posting in the yahoo link indicated, a few noodles pinned with the fork and twirrled against the bottom of the bowl was the basic method. Jeez, I miss that ragu....
My family is from northern Italy and we were never given a spoon. But my grandmother's pasta was not anything like what is eaten in the US. It was drier, not very saucy, just enough to coat the pasta and give it flavor. There wouldn't be anything to drip. Other families from the same area made their pasta the same way. No drippy sauces.
Born in Brooklyn to parents from Calabria and Naples...the spoon was optional, mainly because we ALWAYS had a piece of Italian bread in the other hand. It not only helped getting the twirling of the long pastas but got plenty of sauce on the bread which was great. Still use either. To each his own. Enjoy!
re: PeteDelfino
Always a spoon to twirl the macaroni in and bread to sop up the gravy, if any was left.
I had never seen a spoon served with my pasta growing up. We aren't Italian, but we ate at many Italian places. I lived all over the place, mostly Texas, New Mexico, Indiana, Illinois and then back to Texas.
About 10 years ago I went to an Italian place with a friend from South Africa. They served our pasta with a spoon, which I promptly put off to the side. She broke out laughing and asked why wasn't I using the spoon. I explained I didn't know what it was for which made her laugh harder, then she explained how to use it to eat your pasta, all the while making me feel like I had the most horrendous manners ever, and she spoke very slowly as if I was a child. I suffered through that meal, trying to wield a fork and a spoon, making a total mess, and never ate with her again. Now I do as I did before - use bread!

Hi thanks for letting me know. What has that got to do with keyboard not working though? Is it related, as i have been using this system and Windows 7 for several years relatively trouble free.
My priority is getting the keyboard working so the computer is usable first then worry about genuine key. I have hundreds of gigs of data i need to move then do i?
i have already allocated a new 50gb partition on c drive in case i need/can do a fresh install JUST for a new Windows 7 o/s. and have all my user data etc and backups on other drives.
Currently my c drive is a 1tb with about 310gb free plus 2 x 50gb empty partitions.all up i have this

I am not the first person, nor will I be the last person to take an Alaskan Adventure. This land of the north is considered a land that has yet to be fully conquered, a frontier of sorts, a land filled with huge bears and even huge-er bear stories. I have, in my 2 days that I have been in Alaska so far, have heard enough bear stories to last a life time. I kid you not, if I hear one more bear story I will maul the person telling it.
It is hard to write about personal experiences. People rarely find the personal day to day experiences of another human being to be interesting, but it isn't all about how interesting an experience is. I am mostly writing so I can keep everything straight in my mind, and as an escape from the 16 hour work days that will soon engulf every aspect of my life.
I missed my first flight to Alaska. 5 minutes earlier and I would of made it. Curse the construction that delayed my drive to the airport. This started a headachey chain of events. Switched flight fees, waiting standbye, cramped seats, baggage switchover, another standbye, another cramped seat, and finally my destination. An interesting side note: I sat next to a lady on my first flight from Seattle to Anchorage, who graduated from Polson, Montana in 1978. It was a bumpy, short flight from Anchorage to King Salmon, then a bumpy drive from King Salmon to Naknek.
Naknek is my home for these next few months. A town made up of canneries, fish processing plants, a boat yard, a general store, a liquor store, and a post office. No phone service, and when I say no phone service I don't mean phone service that is really bad most everywhere and good enough in some places to receive a text, I mean absolutely no cell phone reception. It is a good escape from the ever pervasive world of cellular devices that the rest of the world consists of. It is nice to be able to meet and talk to someone who doesn't pull their phone out halfway through a conversation and give you only a part of their attention.
I haven't seen a night here yet. It is light for about 21 hours a day. At ten at night it still feels like mid-day, it is quite the trip. Alaska is a beautiful place. People who have been to Alaska always say how beautiful it is here and coming from Montana I thought I knew what to expect. Flying into Anchorage was wonderful. The mountains up here dwarf the mountains back home. And then when we got to King Salmon it was an entirely different landscape; flat, short trees, and brush for as far as the eye could see. It was beautiful in a very different way than Anchorage, but equally beautiful.
Tomorrow we start working. Yesterday was orientation, rules, and a run through of all the different jobs in the processing plant. I get to work on the fillet line. Should be an interesting experience filleting salmon for 16 hours a day. Tomorrow will be difficult, the next day will probably be even more difficult, and the day after that even more so, then eventually it will get easier as my body becomes accustomed to the long hours and hard work, at least I can hope that my body will adapt or else this will be a long couple of months.
There are three of us crammed into a little tiny dorm style room. It would be a stretch to call this dorm style as a dorm would be considered luxury to what we are living in now. A nine foot by nine foot by eight foot box with a bunk bed and a twin. Thin walls and one outlet, a crooked door and a window that opens into a warehouse. I can't complain that much though, it could be worse. It just adds to the Alaskan Experience. My two roommates are from Colorado and Utah, Spencer and Bryce. Good guys, makes life a little bit easier. Spencer still calls me Randy even though I have corrected him a few times, such is life. It could be worse.
I will try to write and update this blog a couple times a week, that is if a bear doesn't maul me first. I wish you all a happy Wednesday and a good week.
Mom and Dad, if you are reading this could you please send me a plug strip, my two grey flannels, and a few more pairs of wool socks. Thanks. Candy would be nice too.

Queen My Fairy King Lyrics
Last updated: 10/22/2014 06:41:22 PM
Words and music by Freddie Mercury
In the land where horses born with eagle wings
And honey bees have lost their stings
There's singing forever to you
Lions den with fallow deer
And rivers made from wines so clear
Flow on and on forever
Dragons fly like sparrows thru' the air
And baby lambs where Samson dares
To go on on on on on on
My fairy king can see things
He rules the air and turns the tides
That are not there for you and me
Ooh yeah he guides the winds
My fairy king can do right and nothing wrong
Then came man to savage in the night
To run like thieves and to kill like knives
To take away the power from the magic hand
To bring about the ruin to the promised land
They turn the milk into sour
Like the blue on the blood of my veins
Why can't you see it
Fire burnin' in hell with the cry of a streaming pain
Son of heaven set me free and let me go
Sea turns dry no salt from sand
Seasons find no helping hand
Teeth don't shine like pearls for poor man's eye, no more.
Someone someone has drained the colour from my wings
Broken my fairy circle ring
And shamed the king in all his pride
Changed the winds and wronged the tides
Mother mercury
Look what they've done to me
I cannot run I cannot hide
Thanks to Rob for submitting My Fairy King Lyrics.

"Someone...someone has drained the colour from my wings"
I've been a Queen fan my whole life,This is the line more than any other that brings a tear to my eye;if you understand why I don't need to explain it,If you don't?It aint worth trying to explain
peace and love to you all
Freddie is genius! | Reviewer: Shirabetty | 10/14/14
I've been a huge fan of Queen for 37years but this song is absolutely my favorite of this album! I wish I were a native English speaker because I now can't find any good words which can describe exactly what I feel with this song... beautiful and magical, visionary and whimsicial... the lyrics and sound really come together, It's like a complete dream or illusion!
I think Queen made the first five albums mainly with their amazing talent, then after, with their ability and experience, rather than talent.
And I think in the first album they struggled a lot figuring their huge amount of fresh ideas and packing them in one album. And that process probably produced the really original atmosphere which we can hear only in this album.
Anyway, I LOVE this song!
Thanks, Freddie!
Awesome | Reviewer: Brian K. Spalding | 8/26/13
First off, to: chloe meddows taylor | 11/7/12, I laughed out loud that you felt the need to correct others for mis-typing Taylor's and Mercury's first names (totally skipping out on Freddie's REAL name: Farrokh Bulsara); and then proceed to mis-spell "song".
I'm not going to try and give a Review of this Song in any way other than to say, I absolutely LOVE this song, and have for many, many years now. Have been an avid Queen Fan since '77 (First Album I ever purchased was A Night at the Opera). I urge anyone reading this thread, if interested in My Fairy King even remotely, listen to the entire 1st album, then just continue on with II, Sheer Heart Attack, right on down the line. You will NOT be disappointed.
Things to Come | Reviewer: VoxAC30 | 7/19/13
In the book, "10 Guitar Greats" Brian cited My Fairy King as the musical direction the band was moving towards in exploring theme, composition, harmonies and overdubs. In a sense, My Fairy King was their early "A-HA!!" moment. MFK always seemed a bit out of place on Q1 for me but with a bit more production value it would have been a grand inclusion on Q2, the album MFK probably belonged on.
Queenfan | Reviewer: Awsome | 11/23/12
i LOVE this song so much.It's so magical & mysteriouse. It paints a image in my head of what Freddie is singing.
I love the sound of Freddie's fairy-dandy soft voice at the begining.Rogers Powerful voice.Brian's exelent guitar playing at the end.John's good bass playing
Ermagerd! | Reviewer: chloe meddows taylor | 11/7/12
Okay first off, some one spelt Roger wrong, it's Roger, not rodger. Secondly, Freddie, not freddy. Okay, now I can relax.
This sone is so amazing, I run around doing the falsettos and this song gets stuck in my head for about two weeks at a time
Being a really young Queen fan is FABULOUS, DARLING! (I am 14)
Queen is the best | Reviewer: Anonymous | 8/4/10
I wish they had played this song live it would have been magical...and also I wish there was some video footage of the song I would have loved to see Freddie jam on the piano like that. Especialy at the end. Pure magic.
such a religious lyric | Reviewer: Monoposto | 7/26/10
i am the one of a person who believes that's a real happening somewhere out in space or here once in a history. freddie already saw it. they bring and deliver all of the magical imaginations from that world to this restricted world, until freddie died. actually 'my fairy king' in the lyric, and 'you' in the song 'too much love will kill you' seems to be the same. it's all about god, love and tragedy in the end.
vero | Reviewer: Anonymous | 1/23/10
it's a really epic song, it's so magnificent, and great that i cannot stp to hear it. freddy was the bigger story-teller in the history of the world, and his tales stills remains in our souls...he feed us with magic and fairies and hope...
Wow!! | Reviewer: Anonymous | 9/4/09
At the beginning of this song, I couldn't believe anyone could ever go as high as Rog did, and Freddie, I love this song!!!! He put heaps of expression into it, and the lyrics were wonderful. Great harmonies as well.
Amazing | Reviewer: Anonymous | 11/16/08
can someone tell me was Rodger Taylor singing this song right next 2 Freddy? Think he's singing 1. part of song. Anyone....? P.S. Magnificient song! Rhythm change & voice recording is awesome.... This one is 1 of a few songs that took my heart after 1 listening! RIP Freddy
Terrific | Reviewer: Anne-Catherine | 10/31/08
One of Freddie's best songs! It already shows the band's ability to change their style. It is full of harmonies. Freddie puts in a wonderful singing with a beautiful and nuanced voice. The whole band plays it fantastically. The song already shows what kind of Queen were going to be. Great talent. "My Fairy King" is definitely one of my favourite song of the album "Queen".
No one but Queen | Reviewer: Robin | 3/3/08
this song keeps hitting in my head becauese its just to genuis whit every beat of the drums to every stroke of piano and guitar. But this is one of Freddie's best songs that he sings cus he just get his voice for way high 2 low, it just fantastic
Great song! | Reviewer: Ioana | 12/31/07
In my opinion this is a genius song; such originality!
I read the comments above and I, too, saw "The Untold Story" and as my tribute to Freddie,when I grow up (I'm only 13), I will write a book in which I'll mention Freddie and he'll be a big part in my story. I think he was an absolute genius in music and he will always live in my heart!
I love this song more than Bohemian Rhapsody! | Reviewer: Becca | 11/24/07
This song can easily get stuck in my head, which is a good thing 'cause this is one of the greatest songs ever. Sadly...today is Freddie Mercury's death date. (November, 24th..it kind of says that..)*tear REST IN PEACE, FARROHK BULSARA.

Pasadena Water and Power (PWP) officials are recommending that the Pasadena City Council determine a local water emergency exists and to implement the Level 1 Water Supply Shortage Plan at its July 28, 2014 meeting. The recommendation supports the July 15, 2014 State Water Resources Control Board (State Water Board) approval to mandate actions to conserve water supplies throughout California.
Under Pasadena's water waste prohibitions ordinance Chapter 13.10, the Level 1 shortage plan limits outdoor watering to three days per week on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays during summer months and requires water leaks to be fixed within 72 hours.
To declare a Level 1 shortage, the City must hold a public hearing and receive City Council approval. The Council is currently scheduled for its July 21, 2014 meeting to consider setting the actual hearing for the City Council's next regularly scheduled meeting July 28, beginning at 6:30 p.m. in the Council Chamber, 100 N. Garfield Avenue, Second Floor.
The State Water Board decision requires statewide adoption of four water waste restrictions that are already in place in Pasadena.
"As early adopters of these measures, the City believes it's important for everyone to conserve water. These new regulations will ensure that everyone in the state will join Pasadena residents in this important effort," said Eric Klinkner, PWP Chief Deputy General Manager.
The City approved 13 permanent water waste prohibitions in 2009 as part of Chapter 13.10 ordinance. These measures will remain in effect under the Level 1 Shortage, including:
- No watering outdoors between 9 a.m. and 6 p.m., except with a hand-held container or hose with a shut-off nozzle.
- No watering during periods of rain.
- No excessive water flow or runoff onto pavement, gutters or ditches from watering or irrigating landscapes or vegetation of any kind.
- No washing down paved surfaces unless for safety or sanitation, in which case a bucket, a hose with a shut-off nozzle, a cleaning machine that recycles water or a low-volume/high-pressure water broom must be used.
- No washing vehicles except by using a hand-held bucket or similar container or hose equipped with a water shut-off nozzle
A complete list of Pasadena's water waste restrictions is available at PWPweb.com/WaterWaste.
Fines for repeat offenders can be up to $500 per violation for residential customers, and up to $1,000 per violation for all non-residential accounts.

DETROIT – Andre Benoit scored off an assist from rookie Nathan MacKinnon with 31.4 seconds left in overtime to lift the Colorado Avalanche to a 3-2 win over the Detroit Red Wings on Thursday night.
MacKinnon has a point in 13 straight games, breaking Wayne Gretzky's record for an 18-year-old NHL player.
Colorado's P.A. Parenteau made it a 2-all game 5:49 into the third period.
Detroit took leads on Niklas Kronwall's goal midway through the first period and Tomas Jurco's score with 7:50 left in the second.
Matt Duchene tied it at 1 midway through the second period.
Jean-Sebastien Giguere made 35 saves for the Avalanche, who have won four straight. Detroit's Jimmy Howard stopped 22 shots.
The Red Wings retired Nicklas Lidstrom's No. 5 jersey before the game.
BLACKHAWKS 6, BLUE JACKETS 1: In Chicago, Andrew Shaw and Jonathan Toews had two goals apiece to lead Chicago.
Brandon Bollig and Bryan Bickell also scored as the Blackhawks bounced back from a 4-2 home loss to Colorado on Tuesday night. Corey Crawford made 22 saves for his 10th consecutive victory against Columbus.
Ryan Johansen scored his 25th goal for the Blue Jackets, who had won three in a row. Sergei Bobrovsky made 14 stops before he was pulled during the Blackhawks' three-goal second period.
BRUINS 3, CAPITALS 0: In Boston, Tuukka Rask got the first win of his career against Washington, and Gregory Campbell and Loui Eriksson scored second-period goals to lead Boston.
Rask's sixth shutout of the season and 22nd of his career came just five days after the Capitals beat him 4-2, also in Boston.
But since then Washington is 0-3 and Boston is 3-0.
SABRES 3, LIGHTNING 1: In Tampa, Fla., Jhonas Enroth made 43 saves as Buffalo spoiled the return of Tampa Bay star Steven Stamkos.
Stamkos had been sidelined since breaking his right shin Nov. 11 at Boston, causing him to miss 45 games. The center received a partial standing ovation during pregame introductions, when it was announced that he is the new team captain.
KINGS 3, JETS 1: In Winnipeg, Manitoba, Mike Richards scored the winner on a Winnipeg giveaway to lift Los Angeles.
The victory ran the Kings' winning streak to six games.
Dustin Brown scored Los Angeles' first goal, and Alec Martinez added a third-period power-play goal. Goalie Jonathan Quick made 17 saves for the Kings (36-22-6).
BLUES 2, PREDATORS 1: In Nashville, Tenn., Ian Cole had a goal and an assist to lead St. Louis to its third straight victory.
Magnus Paajarvi had the other goal for the Blues, who have won all four of their games against Nashville this season.
STARS 6, CANUCKS 1: In Dallas, Tyler Seguin had three goals and two assists to lead Dallas.
Jamie Benn, Alex Goligoski and Ryan Garbutt also scored for Dallas, which built a 5-0 lead. Kari Lehtonen made 31 saves, and Benn and Rich Peverley each had two assists.
COYOTES 5, CANADIENS 2: In Glendale, Ariz., Radim Vrbata scored two goals as Phoenix beat Montreal for the first time since 1998.

Posted Saturday, September 19, 2009 --- 3:10 p.m.
Press Release from the Green County Sheriff's Department:
On September 19, 2009 at 3:41AM the Green County Sheriff Department was notified of a motor vehicle crash with injuries on STH 11 east of Lumber Yard Road in Spring Grove Township.
Juda Fire Department, Juda First Response and Monroe EMS, along with sheriff's deputies were dispatched to the scene. University Hospital Med-Flight was requested at the scene.
A preliminary investigation revealed a 1997 Chevy S10 truck operated by Lawrence A Pfaff age 23 of Monroe was eastbound on STH 11, crossed the centerline and struck a westbound 2001 Nissan Sentra 4 Door. The Chevy truck left the roadway, overturned and caught fire. Lawrence Pfaff was not wearing a seatbelt and was ejected from the vehicle. Pfaff was transported to University Hospital by Med-Flight with serious injuries.
The driver of the 2001 Nissan Sentra was wearing a seatbelt and was partially ejected from the vehicle. The driver was pronounced dead at the scene by the Green County Coroner's office. The name is being withheld pending notification of family members.
The motor vehicle crash is still under investigation by the Green County Sheriff Department, Green County Coroner's office and the Wisconsin State Patrol.
Alcohol may be factor in the crash.
This is Green County's 3rd fatality of 2009.

Are You Worried About the Swine Flu?
Do you know what to do? Do you want to take drugs or do you want the natural approach?
If you want to help yourself from getting the swine flu or any other cold or flu that is going around, you need to think about your immune system and what it can do for you.
Our immune system keeps us healthy and free of disease. This could include the swine flu. I can't make any claims against any specific disease, but I can suggest what to do to keep you free of most any disease.
Embark on a immune-boosting/building protocol of (1) a colloidal silver, (2) the herb cat's claw, (3) a blend of medicinal mushrooms, and (4) what the CDC (Centers of Disease control) suggest and that is to wash your hands frequently and use a hand sanitizer. Check out the CDC website for the latest updates about the swine flu, its symptoms, how it can be transmitted. They also offer advice on how to stay safe.
Dr. Eric J. Rentz, DO, MSc has written extensively about colloidal silver. Here is an excerpt from his paper "Historic Perspectives on Clinical Use and Efficacy of Silver".
"One recent and noteworthy in vivo study published in the Journal of Clinical Ultrasound (2000) reported on a protocol involving puncture, aspiration, injection, and re-aspiration (PAIR) with silver nitrate directly into hepatic hydatid cysts with beneficial long-term results. Other preliminary evidence in vivo suggests that both hepatitis-C virus (HCV) and HIV , and other viral vectors, as well as in vitro studies on herpes, and the worst bacterial scourges (i.e., antibiotic resistant disease vectors) may become events of the past via the judicious and strategic use of a state-of-the-art silver medicinal and delivery system."
If we expand beyond this point, it seems that technology is would be able to create a concentration of about 10 ppm (parts per million) with a silver particle size of 0.0008 microns. This is considered the smallest particle ever seen in a colloidal silver which in this state is called a "silver hydrosol". Because if its smallest size and almost perfect dispersion in solution, a silver hydrasol of this quality is able to penetrate the membrane pores of bacteria which will effectively cause the cell metabolism of the bacteria to go into partial or full arrest.
Another effect that "silver" has on the bacterial cell is that its DNA germs are paralyzed which terminates the ability of the invading cells to replicate.
Now when you add a TOA-free cat's claw, three additional effects occur:
Any immune dysfunction starts to correct itself
The TOA-free cat's claw creates an anti-microbial effect on spirochetes which is a distinctive bacteria. This bacteria can cause Lyme disease and syphilis plus others. Ref: Ryan KJ; Ray CG (editors) (2004). Sherris Medical Microbiology (4th ed.). McGraw Hill. ISBN 0838585299
It will block some harmful neurotoxic effect on hormones and enzymes.
Maitake, Shiitake and Reishi are three mushrooms of the total group of Cordyceps, Grifola, Lentinula, Ganoderma, Ling Zhi, Tremella, Silver Ear, Pleurotus which are proved effective against AIDS, cancer, hepatitis and flu and colds.
It is interesting to note that the first antibiotics have from fungi (mushrooms) and molds. These were wonder drugs at the time.
Mushrooms as a health food has proved to be quite valuable. It has fiber, vegetable proteins, iron, chitin, essential amino acids, zinc, vitamins & minerals. Did you know that a zinc deficiency could increase your risk of infection? Why? White blood cells are created with the help of zinc and while blood cells fight viruses and bacteria.
This combination of mushroom extract has shown promise in fighting cancer. It does it by boosting the immune system. So if it boosts the immune system to control cancer, the immune system should be able to protect the body from the swine flu.
So in summary, consider the natural products of colloidal silver, TOA-free cat's claw and a blend of medicinal mushrooms. The immune system should increase it effectiveness to fight bacteria and viruses.
Jonathan Bell has many years of extensive study in the area of natural cancer prevention and treatment. He has numerous success stories of people being diagnosed living cancer free with use of alternative methods. Joni Bell

Help; planning my husband's menu
I'd like to get my spouse involved in losing weight and he often makes it hard on me because he refuses to stay on it 100%. His attitude is "If I start exercising and building muscle (not seeing it yet), I'll lose weight...food doesn't matter"
The problem is, I am responsible for all the meals (including one sent with him to work...otherwise he will likely get high carb crap for lunch) he eats. He sees no problem with eating low carb 80% of the day with a high carb treat as desert. (which will force me to do a lot of paleo baking)
I'd like to come up with a menu, including a portable lunch that is completely vegetarian. Something doable on very little time with no or little soy.
my husband is 6 t tall, 230 lbs, 41 yrs old and works a sedentary job (he's a computer engineer) His father is only 18 yrs older than him and has been diabetic for 3-4 yrs. I am worried about my husband ending up becoming diabetic because of all the rice, sugar and carbs he eats.
I already feed him a low carb high fat breakfast (3 egg omelet, various veggie filling, sour cream, cheese) I need lunch and snack ideas.
hi. i am pretty new to this myself so i may not be a lot of help. one thing i have learned (at least for me) is organization is key. it's when i don't have something on hand to eat that i fall off a bit. i am still playing around with recipes. i have made a few soups that have been ok. also made a tuna casserole and a cheesy broccoli casserole that were supriselny good. stuff like that is pretty easy to put in some Tupperware and warm up at work. when all else fails i just get a cheeseburger and don't eat the bun.
[QUOTE=Chyrie;16581877]I'd like to get my spouse involved in losing weight and he often makes it hard on me because he refuses to stay on it 100%. His attitude is "If I start exercising and building muscle (not seeing it yet), I'll lose weight...food doesn't matter[QUOTE]
my husband is the same way. I used to laugh because he would workout on a cardio machine for hours and then eat a couple of bowls of chips a night and drink whiskey, thinking that he was going make gains by doing all that exercise.
I have basically given up on counselling him. Instead I just answer his questions when he asks me about diet and exercise, telling him about what works for me and leave it at that. He thinks I am too skinny and have an eating disorder. Because I weigh/measure everything I eat and I am very lean and muscular compared to him. But unfortunately he is still in that mindset where he thinks he was "born to be fat," and that all you need to do is exercise to lose weight. Even yesterday I was trying to show him how he can use his weight training program to build muscle and burn off some excess body fat at the same time, and he said that he read on the net that........
My point is that I have found that you can't really counsel others with respect to getting to a "healthier place." They basically have to find that pathway on their own. I basically do the same thing that you do. If it is my turn to cook for example, I just cook us a healthy low carb meal. He eats it. Sometimes he will only eat a bit of it, but when he queries about why his appetite is reduced I just tell him about the high fat advantage. Even the other day I was watching a video that one of the LCF members had posted about sugar. He stopped and watched it with me! This is a big step. He then started reading the labels on our crackers for sugar content. I said nothing but was thrilled that he was doing this. He also asked me about why he was so hungry after work and I explained about how HC diets work. I said I would make him a trail mix with nuts and coconut to see if that prevents him from stopping at McDonalds on the way home and gorging on fast food. These are changes that I am so happy about :jumpjoy::jumpjoy:
We still have some issue because we have a four year old. Obesity unfortunately runs in his family and yoyo dieting and type 2 diabetes runs in mine. So our child might be in trouble. He still gives her chocolates and candy as treats. But we have come to a place where if she wants food rewards she goes to daddy and other rewards to mommy. Sounds like bad parenting, which it may be, but I have a girl friend who constantly fights with her inlaws over food because she doesn't allow her kids to have anything with sugar. It is never a good scene and the kids are deprived all the time. I am hoping that my good eating habits which have been processed food and sugar free for years will eventually wear off on those around me. People are starting to get curious about why I am shopping at holistic grocery stores now and asking me questions. I am now just learning myself that I need educated responses for when these questions come up. My PT leader said I should shop in my personal trainer uniform once in awhile. I haven't quite got to that point yet.
Hi Chyrie,
I can certainly empathize! I have a man that loves to eat!
He will think nothing of having two large plates of supper and then a bowl of Doritos !
It's maddening at first, but now I look at it the other way. Think how horrible it would be if I was feeding him a carby supper and he was eating the chips. He's getting far less carbs this way.
A few idea:
For lunch, does he do dippables? Something like hummus and vegetables or a buffalo chicken dip with veg is very filling!
Low carb bread with a double portion of protein
Leftovers of supper
Low carb chili made with black soybeans and hamburger
Chicken/tuna/egg salad
WB wrap filled with veg, cheese, meat
Supper, check out the food porn threads. Delicious! If he needs to grab something, tell him to grab a mcdouble and side Caesar and pitch the bun n croutons
Otherwise, we eat:
-big Mac in a bowl
-taco salad
-grilled steak with any side
-pork sirloin or tenderloin, roasted veg
Bunless burgers
Rotisserie chicken with broccoli salad
Meatballs with fauxtato salad
Pulled pork and coleslaw
Basically anything works just pitch the carby side. Hub is a mechanic so he expends a lot of energy. A couple times a week, when he asks, I make a carby side like basmati rice, that he enjoys. The other times he eats LC. He has lost 34 lbs and kept it off!!! He does better than me because he has no food issues and never eats when he's not hungry.
I pack electrolyte squeeze water enhancers for him and make almonds, macadamias. And deluxe roasted mix nuts for him to have available at work. I buy him jerky as a special treat every few months. The one thing he says is a lifesaver are turkey bites by Pillers. They're refrigerated meat sticks. He eats them between meals if he's snacky.
my husband (as I mentioned in the above) is a vegetarian and as he has been one for 20 years, its not likely to change.
Diabetes appears to run in his family but I Have no clue about mine...my grandfather died of heart disease, but he was a smoker.
Rice is one of the issues I have with him....he loves paneer/Indian food. I am going to try the cauliflower rice with him.
Oh I'm sorry. I thought only you were vegetarian .
That would certainly be more of a challenge .
Does he eat eggs, cheese, nuts, and meat substitutes?
Where does he currently get most of his protein?
Maybe something like Carb Addicts Diet would work with him.
CAD has a LC breakfast and lunch, and balanced supper so he could have Indian at supper.
He eats eggs cheese and nuts, and some soy but we try to keep the estrogen substitute to a minimum.
I did just make a almond butter bread...hopefully that will help him stay low carb.
Good lunch items:
Quiches- good hot or at room temp (with or without crusts)
Curries made with peanut butter and coconut milk and veggies and tofu
Almond crackers and a cream cheese based spread
Hamburger casserole (many on Linda Sue's web site) that you can sub TVP?
Macadamia nuts
Peanut Butter Fudge (search Sugar Free Sheila's peanut butter fudge- it is crazy delicious)
Easy Low Carb Custard (2 whole eggs, 6 yolks, 1 c Davinci syrup-any flavor, 2 c cream- mix and bake in water bath at 350 for 1 hour)
One Minute Muffins with cream cheese and nut spread (the OMM's are very versatile- as you can make him sandwiches)
Cream Cheese Muffins
My husband LOVES the almond butter zucchini nut muffin (or pumpkin spice muffin) recipe that I posted in the recipe thread. One of these and a high fat smoothie for breakfast and he is all set. He also likes them for snacks.
B: fried eggs and BPC
L: egg salad on almond bread, or hummus with veg and flax crackers,
Or almond butter on an oopsie, or cream cheese and cucumber on LC bread
S: whatever he normally has but the carb portion can't be bigger than the protein portion.
Great ideas thanks!
I am wheat free (I am gluten intolerant) so he does get labels somewhat (he's used to looking at ingredients) .... hopefully I can get him to change slowly. At least he's listened to some youtube videos with Gary Taubes speaking or the author of Wheat Belly...so he does get that wheat is bad for you.
My 2 oldest (I have a newborn) stay with my Mom for the weekend but the oldest would prefer to eat low carb. Thankfully my Mom is now eating low carb as well so I don't have to worry about them getting too much bread at her house now.
If he's doing moderate or high carbs, he'll need to watch the fat content of his meals.
My husband enjoyed a lot of my low carb, higher fat recipes along with eating a standard american diet. We had to have a discussion about his 'mix and match' eating. I was concerned about his fat intake with the LC recipes, because his carbs aren't low enough to enjoy the fat-burning benefits of a ketogenic eating style (whereas the higher fat recipes are exactly what I need, being low carb/moderate protein).
Maybe he'd do well on something like a zone diet plan or a mediterranean-style plan.

Michael Rand started RandBall with hopes that he could convince the world to love jumpsuits as much as he does. So far, he's only succeeded in using the word "redacted" a lot. He welcomes suggestions, news tips, links of pure genius, and pictures of pets in Halloween costumes here, though he already knows he will regret that last part.

We just returned from a nine day excursion in California that was equal parts Lake Tahoe, wine country and San Francisco goodness. Yeah, it was rough. We're not going to lie. Cabin in the woods in Tahoe, lake time, golf, hiking, a million (or so) glasses of wine, gorgeous views during country road running by vineyards, a trip to the redwoods, a Giants game, a rented apartment near Telegraph Hill with spectacular views of the Bay.
Sorry, yes. Back to reality. Almost.
But first, one of the centerpieces of the trip: This past Friday we went to the Justin Timberlake/Jay-Z concert at Candlestick Park in San Francisco.
When we tell people this, they have one of two responses:
"You went to that concert!"
"You went to that concert?"
Pure excitement/jealousy or pure confusion. No middle ground.
In any event, a review of sorts is in order (perhaps demanded), so here is the short version for anyone interested and/or hoping to catch JT when he is at Xcel Energy Center (sans Jay-Z) in February.
1) Energy. Both performers had tremendous energy throughout the 2-plus hour main set. And Candlestick was packed, adding to the electricity.
2) We liked Jay-Z way more than we thought we would. We're not going to lie: Timberlake was the main draw. If you dismiss him as a grown up boy band hack, you're missing out. He might just be the MJ of our generation. We'd say 90-95 percent of shows we go to are indie rock hipster type shows, but this was a glorious exception. In any event, back to Jay-Z: We forgot how many good songs he had, and he ripped through the catalog nicely. Included: Ball So Hard (at least that's what we're calling it), 99 Problems, Big Pimpin' and Empire State of Mind. The two worked nicely together, combining on some medleys and other recent numbers. Timberlake did the police officer part on 99 Problems, which was a nice touch.
3) The setlist was tight, a nice mix of new and old. They saved "Suit and Tie" for the encore, which was a little obvious but was a definite reason to stick around.
1) If you weren't a fan of both performers, you might have felt a bit cheated. Their main set was, as noted, a little over 2 hours. But with two headliners, you might not have gotten all you wanted from one if that's all you wanted.
2) OK, this one and the last one are going to be venue-related since we don't have much bad to say about the show. First off, two different concession stands we visited ran out of beer. How does this happen?
3) Candlestick is run down and a nightmare when it comes to infrastructure. We took a cab there, which was fine. Getting a cab out of there is pretty much impossible, and there is very little organization when it comes to public transit. We finally wandered our way onto a streetcar more than a mile away from the stadium, but it was a stark contrast to the next night at the Giants game when the exit strategy was clean and clear.
If you like JT, go see the February show. He's exceedingly entertaining in person and you won't be let down.

Lots of great deals to kick off CNET's spiffy new design, including a $35 Roku box and a free DVD ripper.
Cheapskate exclusive! Preorder this brand-new LTE mobile hotspot and you'll get a generous helping of data to get you started. Plus: three bonus deals!
The release brings the private social-networking experience to Amazon's Android-forked tablets.
It's new, not refurbished, and there's more icing on the cake: You also get a $40 Staples gift card.
The Guardian also reports on a 9.7-inch iPad with a Lightning connector and compatibility with U.K.'s Everything Everywhere 4G network.
There's no mystery left now that stores have released their ads weeks early. But there are at least a few bargains worth chasing.
HP's latest notebook to run Google's no-frills software, the Chromebook 11, has had its price slashed from £230 to £200 on Amazon.
In case you're keeping score, that's a full $200 less than Apple's 8-inch tablet. How does it compare? On paper, surprisingly well.
That's the same price as a new non-touch-screen Kindle. The warranty may be shorter, but the touch features definitely offset the risk.
It's refurbished, but at least you don't have to deal with any rebates. And except for taxes and fees, phone service is free for life.

A public school district is under scrutiny for a "fundamental misunderstanding" of students' constitutional rights by overly restricting what they can do with technology and the Internet, according to the Electronic Frontier Foundation and the American Civil Liberties Union.
Overturning a lower court's decision, a federal appeals court ruled that a Mexican boy killed by a Border Patrol agent may have had his Fifth Amendment rights violated, even though he was shot in Mexico and was not a U.S. citizen.
The current rule, in contrast, requires obtaining warrants in each of the districts where an affected computer may be located.
The sheriff of Maricopa County, Ariz. won't appeal a federal court's ruling that his office violated the constitutional rights of Latinos. That's not, Sheriff Joe Arpaio would have the world know, because he acknowledges that his office racially profiled Latinos – as some media outlets have recently reported.
Police in Oregon violated an immigrant's Fourth Amendment rights when they honored an Immigration and Customs Enforcement detainer request without probable cause, a federal judge ruled April 11. Judge Janice Stewart of the U.S. district court in Oregon ruled (pdf) that Clackamas County misinterpreted the regulation that governs ICE detainers.
The Maricopa County Sheriff's Office may be violating the terms of a federal injunction ordered last year by a judge who concluded the office racially profiled Hispanics.
American technology companies were not ignorant of National Security Agency surveillance of digital content transmitted through their services, a top National Security Agency official said Wednesday.
A handful of advocacy groups called for the Supreme Court to require warrants before law enforcement can search the contents of cellphones in briefs filed this month.
The Texas Court of Criminal Appeals ruled Feb. 25 that law enforcement needs a warrant to search the cellphone of someone who has been arrested and jailed.
Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio and a former top aide will be deposed by Justice Department officials in early March as part of a lawsuit the DOJ launched against the Arizona sheriff in 2012.

I've used a deodorant stone for several years and neither my wife nor I can smell the difference between the effectiveness of this and regular deodorant! Only after much sweating in the hot sun for hours do you wish for more deodorant, but that is the case no matter what deodorant you use. And if this is the rock I ordered last time it is square and much easier to hang on to and use than the stick type or the rounder rocks.

I bought this deodorant stone as a Christmas present for all my friends and family. It seems crazy to put toxic junk in are open pored arm pits. Some say there is corelation between deodorants and breast cancer. Using a product like this can't hurt.

I have hesitated for more than 20 years to try a deodorant stone - couldn't believe something like that would work so well especially since I perspire heavy. I read all the positive reviews and decided to finally try one. I couldn't believe how well it works!! I still perspire heavy - which I still did even with anti-perspirants - but there is NO odor!! I am just mad that I didn't try one sooner. LOVE IT!

During the winter season, indoor heated POPS are a pedestrian's best friend. Here is a list of indoor heated POPS, some replete with usable amenities, others little more than a shelter from the cold, but all important public spaces that do not require a purchase or permission to warrant an invitation inside. Cafes, restaurants, stores, hotel lobbies, and movie theatres beckon, but indoor POPS are indisputably free and open to all for public use. Take advantage of these 33 spaces.

This past summer, under the direction of Community Board 6 District Manager Dan Miner, four summer interns visited all 77 buildings with POPS in the district and prepared a report detailing their findings. Interns Christopher Consalvo, Anita Li, Eduard Knechtl, and Shelby Yvon took photographs, described positive and negative attributes of the spaces, and specified certain conditions that were apparently out of compliance with applicable legal requirements. APOPS@MAS Chair Jerold Kayden provided help to the interns in the final preparation of their report. Later this fall, APOPS@MAS and Community Board 6 will co-host a meeting with other Community Board members interested in visiting and suggesting improvements to their POPS.
Check out the fall schedule of free events at the David Rubenstein Atrium. It is worth recalling the "before" and "after" of this POPS. Called Harmony Atrium and largely known for its climbing wall, this interior space had some positive attributes but was hardly a rousing POPS success. The excerpt from Jerold Kayden's book, Privately Owned Public Space: The New York City Experience, reproduced on this website, describes the conditions back in 2000. Lincoln Center's president Reyn Levy had his eye on the space as a portal to Lincoln Center, and Jerold Kayden and his organization Advocates for Privately Owned Public Space was seeking a test candidate for its program for third-party adopting and upgrading of a POPS. Rebecca Robertson, then head of Lincoln Center's redevelopment arm and now head of the Park Avenue Armory, brought Levy and Kayden together, and the ultimate outcome years and millions of dollars later is the celebrated Tod Williams Billie Tsien-designed David Rubenstein Atrium, named for its generous benefactor. APOPS@MAS Senior Advisor Douglas Woodward played a key role as Lincoln Center project manager. Lincoln Center board members Katherine Farley, now Chair of the Lincoln Center Board, Cheryl Cohen Effron, now a member of the New York City Planning Commission, and real estate developer Philip Milstein, along with Levy, Kayden, and Woodward, served on the architect selection committee that chose Tod Williams Billie Tsien from an initial long list of about thirty architects and a subsequent short list of seven. Billlie Tsien talks about the design in a presentation with Jerold Kayden at the October 2012 MAS Summit. For more about the initial transformation of Harmony Atrium, read this June 8, 2006 Lincoln Center press release.
Imagine that you were given "responsibility" for stewarding more than 80 acres of prime New York City private real estate that, by law, had to be open to the public. Imagining that role helps define the mission of our project, entitled Advocates for Privately Owned Public Space at the Municipal Art Society (APOPS@MAS). Harvard Professor Jerold S. Kayden, Advocates for Privately Owned Public Space, and the Municipal Art Society have joined forces to offer imaginative stewardship for the city's 525 or so privately owned public spaces (POPS), those zoning-created plazas, arcades, and other outdoor and indoor spaces located at the street level of many office and residential towers. We believe that a city's greatness is enhanced by an attractive, usable, and egalitarian public realm. We seek to invigorate POPS by sparking constructive action-producing conversations among city residents and employees, POPS owners, public officials, community board members, civic activists, and anyone else hoping to realize the possibility and promise of privately owned public spaces. Through creative ideas and hard work, we can leverage the good spaces and improve the marginal ones.
APOPS@MAS has an ambitious Work Program consisting of six elements: (1) Public Information; (2) Programs; (3) Upgrading; (4) Monitoring; (5) Special Projects; (6) Public Policy. Some activities have already commenced, others remain dependent on funding availability. Read more about these six elements here. We invite all of you to join APOPS@MAS in realizing this Work Program. Contact us if you are interested in helping us with any part of the 2014-2015 Work Program.
The New York City branch of Huge, the powerhouse digital agency, has produced an interesting five-minute video about privately owned public space in New York City. APOPS@MAS provided information to Huge and Chris Holmes for the video project.
APOPS@MAS is happy to announce the selection of Ellen C. Nicholson, who just graduated this past May 2014 with a Master in Urban Planning Degree from the Harvard University Graduate School of Design (GSD), as the first annual APOPS@MAS Fellow. She begins her fellowship this month and continues through June 2015. At the GSD, Ellen concentrated in Urban Design and Housing and Community Development. A native of Newton, Massachusetts, Ellen completed her undergraduate degree at Williams College. Contact Ellen at email@example.com.
You will not find this definition (yet) in the dictionary, but we are trying.
PRIVATELY OWNED PUBLIC SPACE [noun phrase] [slang POPS] 1. a plaza, arcade, or other outdoor or indoor space provided for public use by a private office or residential building owner in return for a zoning concession 2. one of 525 or so zoning-defined public spaces in New York City 3. a plaza, urban plaza, residential plaza, public plaza, elevated plaza, arcade, through block arcade, through block galleria, through block connection, covered pedestrian space, sidewalk widening, open air concourse, or other privately owned public space specifically defined by New York City's 1961 Zoning Resolution and accompanying legal instruments 4. a type of public space characterized by the combination of private ownership and zoning-required public access and use 5.

text: Bristol-Myers Squibb Co. and AstraZeneca Plc's new diabetes pill may cause breast and bladder cancer, according to U.S. regulators weighing whether to clear sales of the medicine, reports Bloomberg. While Food and Drug Administration staff said the drug is effective, they focused on safety concerns in a review of dapagliflozin released ahead of a July 19 FDA advisory panel meeting in Silver Spring, Maryland. New York-based Bristol-Myers and AstraZeneca of London have said they expect a final decision on approval by Oct. 28. The companies said in June that more bladder and breast cancers were seen in patients taking the new medicine instead of a placebo in studies. Regulators have increased scrutiny of diabetes pills since GlaxoSmithKline's top-selling Avandia was tied to heart attacks in 2007 and was ultimately forced off the market in Europe and severely restricted in the U.S. Nine cases of bladder cancer occurred in male patients who took dapagliflozin, compared with one case among people treated with a placebo. Breast cancer occurred in nine patients who took dapagliflozin, and one patient in the control group. FDA staff also said the drug was less effective in patients with impaired kidney function.

Thomas Sowell: With no case, Hillary shouted louder
Secretary of State Hillary Clinton shouted louder when asked about the Obama administration's story last fall that the Sept. 11 attack on the U.S. ambassador's quarters in Benghazi was due to an anti-Islamic video that someone in the United States had put on the Internet, and thereby provoked a protest that escalated into violence.
She shouted: "We had four dead Americans. Was it because of a protest or was it because of guys out for a walk one night who decided they'd go kill some Americans? What difference, at this point, does it make?"
Students of propaganda may admire the skill with which she misdirected people's attention. But those of us who are still old-fashioned enough to think that the truth matters cannot applaud her success.
Let's go back to square one.
After the attack on the American ambassador's quarters in Benghazi that killed Ambassador Christopher Stevens and three other Americans, the Obama administration immediately blamed it on the anti-Islamic video.
Moreover, this version of what happened was not just a passing remark. It was a story that the administration kept repeating insistently. U.N. Ambassador Susan Rice repeated that story on five different television talk shows on the same Sunday. President Obama himself repeated the same story at the United Nations. The man who put the anti-Islamic video on the Internet was arrested for a parole violation, creating more media coverage to keep attention on this theme.
"What difference, at this point, does it make?" Secretary Clinton now asks. What difference did it make at the time?
Obviously the Obama administration thought it made a difference, with an election coming up. Prior to the attack, the administration's political theme was that Barack Obama had killed Osama bin Laden (with an assist from the Navy SEALs), vanquished al-Qaida and was now in the process of putting the terrorist threat behind us.
To have the attack in Benghazi be seen as a terrorist attack - and a devastating one - would have ruined this picture, with an election coming up.
The key question that remains unanswered to this day is: What speck of evidence is there that the attack in Benghazi was due to the much-discussed video or that there was ever any protest demonstration outside the ambassador's quarters?
If there is no evidence whatever, then the whole attempt to say that a protest over a video escalated into an attack was a deliberate hoax by people who knew better.
There is no point in the administration saying that they did not have all the facts about the attack immediately. All the facts may never be known. But the real question is: Did you have even a single fact that would substantiate your repeated claims that some video led to a protest in Benghazi that got out of hand and led to the attack?
Interestingly, Hillary Clinton herself was not featured in this campaign, even though as Secretary of State she was a key figure. Hillary was not about to create video footage that could come back to haunt her if she runs for President of the United States in 2016.
In a larger context, the Benghazi attack showed that you cannot unilaterally end the "War on Terror" or the terrorists' war on us by declaring victory.
For years, the Bush administration's phrase "War on Terror" was avoided like the plague by the Obama administration, even if that required the Fort Hood massacre to be classified as "workplace violence." But, no matter how clever the rhetoric, reality nevertheless rears its ugly head.
Once the Sept. 11 attack in Benghazi is seen for what it was - a highly coordinated and highly successful operation by terrorists who were said to have been vanquished - that calls into question the Obama administration's Middle East foreign policy.
That is why it still matters.
