text: Reality Check: 'Jurassic Park' More Convincing Than 'Avatar' by John Nolte 12 Dec 2009 post a comment Share This: From my "Avatar" review: "Steven Spielberg's sixteen year-old dinosaurs are light years ahead of "Avatar" in the reality department." Cameron might have used more terabytes, megabytes, spiderbytes, or whateverbytes to create the Na'vi and the paradise planet of Pandora than Steven Spielberg ever dreamed possible in 1993, but in the convincing me this is real department -- in the convincing me this is not computer generated department -- "Jurassic Park" blows "Avatar" away. Peter Jackson's Kong and Gollum are also light years ahead of "Avatar." The Na'vi look animated. They absolutely look computer generated, and so does their planet. You might think the difference is that Spielberg and Jackson mixed their digital creatures into the real organic world, but so did Cameron in a number of scenes and still ... never for a single moment did "Avatar" convince me it was anything more than a garishly colored, computer-animated creation.

AP Sports Writer
DENVER (AP) -- Ruben Tejada refused to blame his frozen fingers for an errant throw that let the Colorado Rockies tie the game.
It was a play he should've made, the New York Mets shortstop acknowledged -- a throw he would like to have again.
Tejada's error in the eighth inning helped the Rockies erase a six-run deficit. In the 10th, Jordan Pacheco singled home the winning run and Colorado won 9-8 on Tuesday night to sweep a frigid doubleheader.
"I was freezing to death. It's tough, tough to play in that weather but you have to play," Tejada said. "It was a bad throw, a really bad throw. With that situation with the game on the line, it's a really bad error."
The Mets were off their game in the wintry weather.
In the opener, Dillon Gee (0-3) couldn't hold an early lead and the Rockies beat the Mets 8-4 in a game that was delayed 2 hours as 8 inches of snow was cleared off the field.
"It was a long day," Mets manager Terry Collins said.
Indeed, it was.
Early in the day, Rockies owner Dick Monfort took the field with a shovel and helped clear the way for the first game to be played. A crew of team employees lent a hand as well, as did Sandy Alderson, the general manager of the Mets.
Players bounced around in the field and blew on their hands as they attempted to stay warm in the nightcap. Pacheco even wore a face mask with only his eyes peeking out.
His sharp single through the right side of the infield brought in Carlos Gonzalez. Rockies players jumped out of the dugout and mobbed Pacheco after he touched first base.
Rafael Betancourt (1-0) pitched a scoreless 10th to earn the win. Greg Burke (0-1) took the loss on a long day of chilly baseball. The temperature at first pitch for the nightcap was 36 degrees.
"We haven't had to play games when it's been this cold, this long," Collins said.
Burke pitched carefully to Gonzalez with two outs in the 10th and ended up walking the slugger. Michael Cuddyer then sent a sharp grounder wide of David Wright at third base, and the ball deflected off his glove into left field. A hustling Gonzalez made it all the way to third, setting up Pacheco's winning hit.
The play originally was scored an error on Wright, who homered twice in the opener. But it was changed to a hit moments after the game.
Colorado rallied to tie it 8-all with two runs in the eighth inning, courtesy of two Mets miscues. With two outs and nobody on, reliever Brandon Lyon booted a grounder back to him for an error.
After Gonzalez singled, Bobby Parnell was summoned to face Cuddyer, who hit a chopper to Tejada. In this frosty weather, though, nothing has been routine and Tejada threw high and wide to first base, allowing both runners to score on his sixth error of the season.
"It's really tough playing in these conditions. The ball, he just didn't get a grip on it," Collins said. "It happens."
New York relied on seven relievers in the nightcap after Aaron Laffey lasted four innings.
Jeff Francis was roughed up for eight runs -- six earned -- in 4 1-3 innings but was taken off the hook when Colorado came back.
The Mets opened an 8-2 lead with a five-run fifth in which they sent 11 batters to the plate. Marlon Byrd drove in two with a single, while Justin Turner, Tejada and pinch-hitter Jordany Valdespin also added RBI hits.
But no lead is safe at Coors Field and Colorado quickly answered in the bottom half. Backup catcher Yorvit Torrealba delivered a two-run double as the Rockies scored four times.
Helton and Troy Tulowitzki were not in the starting lineup for the nightcap.
For Helton, it was welcomed news, since he doesn't particularly care for cold-weather games. Tulowitzki was held out as a precaution after he was hit on the left elbow by a pitch from Gee.
The All-Star shortstop was brought in to pinch hit with the bases loaded in the seventh, but struck out on three pitches from Scott Atchison.
One day after a spring storm postponed the first game of the series, the teams played a pair in frigid conditions. The temperature for the opener was 39 degrees.
At least the Mets were finally back on the field after cold weather postponed two straight games. Wintry conditions in Minneapolis on Sunday prompted their game against the Twins to be called off and rescheduled in August.

Reeva Steenkamp was a young woman in love, tweeting about her excitement ahead as Valentine's day approached. But the night turned to tragedy when her boyfriend, Oscar Pistorius shot and killed her at his home. For the last two months her parents, June and Barry, have been struggling to cope with their loss. In this issue, they remember their daughter and talk frankly about the man who killed her.
June on Reeva's love of life:
'She led a very exciting life and tried to do everything. It's almost as if she knew she had only a little time in which to get everything done.'
June on her daughters's relationship:
She was mad about him. She said he was a 'very very good man'.
'It's very difficult for me to understand how things have come to this.'
June on her grief:
'My biggest regret is that Reeva will never have a wedding day. She'll never have a child. This is forever. It's the end.'
June on domestic violence:
She doesn't believe the relationship was abusive; 'she would have done something about it,' she says, but adds that Reeva cared deeply about domestic abuse. June now plans to set up a shelter for abused women in Reeva's memory.
June on Oscar:
She says he should never have held a memorial service for her. 'He still has to answer for this,' she says, 'I don't want anything from him. What could he say to me? My daughter is dead and nothing is going to change that. I don't ever want to see him.'
Barry on Oscar:
Reeva's father says he had a bad feeling about the relationship from the start. He wants to look Oscar in the eye one day. He doesn't know what he'd say to the athlete; 'I just feel it's necessary for closure.'

COOK Report for November - December 2014
Another Two Part Issue -Open Source Ecologies- Alive and Well
and Kansas City: What it has Suffered and Efforts to Undo the Damage
The November December 2014 COOK Report comes in two parts.
The first is a report on the in person visit I made in June. It contains an interview with Marcin Jakubowskii focused on the issues raised by an April 1, 2013 report in the P2P Foundation blog called Crisis at OSE? This item for suggested that Marcin's enterprise might be in its death throes. It was taken in its entirety and out of context from comments in the OSE user forum. It turns out that the P2P foundation has decided it does not like Marcins leaderships style and when it finds negative information on this it reports them to its global constituency with no effort to make any independent judgment. My reports covers what happened at OSE from 2011 to the present in someone extensive detail. My report concludes that OSE appears to be in fine shape but does also report some pointed criticism of Marcin's engineering design process.
The second: Kansas City what it has Suffered and Efforts to Undo the Damage reports on Anita Dixon's efforts to put the Mutual Musician's Foundation on the global map in time for its 100th year anniversary in 2017. The Ben Webster Foundation brought Anita to Copenhagen in September and set off many positive events that included livestreaming the Saturday night jam session (done by Clint Wynn) from KC to Denmark over the Internet via the Kansas City Freenet. The report also describes the damage done by real estate development that include Jessie Nichols extensive use of redlining and racially restrictive covenants that resulted massive white flight and left behind a overwhelmingly black and economically devastated urban core. Finally an interview with Clint Wynn outlines an amazing approach using the Kansas City Freenet to begin to close the so-called digital divide. The divide is real but I have never previously seen a meningful approach. Clint's is extraordinary. Unfortunately these are critical issues that Google fiber has completely missed.
Welcome to the Cook Report on Internet Protocol
A Practical Navigator for the Internet Economy
We re now in our twenty third year of publication. (Our first issue was April 1992.) We publish 6 times a year - long in depth reports on subjects of intense personal intertest. Meanwhile our most important revenue producing operation is the offering of a private subscription only forum now in its eleventh year. The Forum is a mail list called the Architecture and Economics of IP Networks. It is a community of interest where more than 100 members discuss issues and trade ideas. I do not screen posts in advance. Foir more informatrion see the menu item "Business Model and Mail List Policy."
Some of the topics we explore:
- economic framework for thinking about technology
- fiber as economic infrastructure
- change from PSTN to all IP over fiber
- business models- domestic and global
- green IT, mobility, wireless
- new carrier models
- community fiber
- enterprise fiber & NRENs

|Dental anxiety is an important challenge for many patients and clinicians. It is thus of importance to know more about dental students' own experiences with dental anxiety and their understanding of dental anxiety. The aim was to investigate differences in dental anxiety levels between dental students, psychology students, and biology students at a Norwegian university.
|Aim: The aim of this study was to evaluate the outcome of non-surgical root canal treatment performed at the student clinic and the factors influencing this outcome. Materials and methods: This retrospective study involved follow-up of patients who had been receiving root canal treatments at the Student Clinic University of Tromsø (UTK). Endodontic records and periapical radiographs of 141 teeth from 126 patients were collected, 89 patients met our inclusion criterias. The recall rate was 76% with 68 patients, and we followed up 83 teeth. Chi-square tests were used for statistical analysis. Results: The rate of healed/healing of root canal treatments ranged from 81% to 92%, depending on the pulp status pretreatment. Higher failure rate occurred in 4th year students compared to 5th year students (20 and 7% respectively), and in multi rooted teeth compared to single rooted (17 and 8%) and more than 2 sessions compared to 2 sessions (19 and 6%) and in the use of handfiles compared to Pro Taper ( 17 and 8%). Overall quality of obturation was low, with only 33 complete filled teeth (40%). When root canal fillings were more than 2 mm short from radiological apex failure rate was high, 7 teeth (26%), as compared to flush fillings with 4 (9%) cases of failure. Overfilled teeth did not show any failures. Conclusion: Overall, in spite of a relative high healed/healing rate, there is need for improvement when it comes to the quality of obturation and number of treatment sessions. Further long-term follow-up is recommended to achieve a more reliable outcome result.
|Background: A reform to Dental Care legislation in 2002 abolished age limits restricting adults' use of public dental services in Finland. In the Public Dental Service (PDS) unit of Espoo, the proportion of adult patients rose from 36% to 57%. The aim of this study was to investigate heavy use of dental services by adults and its determinants. Methods: A longitudinal cohort study was undertaken based on a PDS patient register. Of all adults who attended the PDS in Espoo in 2004, those who had six or more visits (n=3,173) were assigned to the heavy user group and a comparison group of low users (n=22,820) had three or fewer dental visits. A sample of 320 patients was randomly selected from each group. Baseline information (year 2004) on age, sex, number and type of visit, oral health status and treatment provided was collected from treatment records. Each group was followed-up for five years and information on the number and types of visit was recorded for each year from 2005 to 2009. Results: Most heavy users (61.6%) became low users and only 11.2% remained chronic heavy users. Most low users (91.0%) remained low users. For heavy users, the mean number of dental visits per year (3.0) during the follow-up period was significantly lower than initially in 2004 (8.3) (p<0.001) but 74.8% of heavy users had had emergency visits compared with 21.6% of the low users (p<0.001). A third (33%) of the visitors in each group had no proper examination and treatment planning during the 5-year follow-up period and two or more examinations were provided to fewer than half of the heavy (46.1%) or low (46.5%) users. The mean number of treating dentists was 5.7 for heavy users and 3.8 for low users (p<0.001). Conclusions: Frequent emergency visits were characteristic of heavy users of dental services. Treatment planning was inadequate, probably partly due to the many dentists involved and too many patients requesting care. Better local management and continuous education are needed to ensure good quality adult dental care and to reduce heavy consumption.
|The cysteine protease legumain is involved in several biological and pathological processes, and the protease has been found over-expressed and associated with an invasive and metastatic phenotype in a number of solid tumors. Consequently, legumain has been proposed as a prognostic marker for certain cancers, and a potential therapeutic target. Nevertheless, details on how legumain advances malignant progression along with regulation of its proteolytic activity are unclear. In the present work, legumain expression was examined in colorectal cancer cell lines. Substantial differences in amounts of pro- and active legumain forms, along with distinct intracellular distribution patterns, were observed in HCT116 and SW620 cells and corresponding subcutaneous xenografts. Legumain is thought to be located and processed towards its active form primarily in the endo-lysosomes; however, the subcellular distribution remains largely unexplored. By analyzing subcellular fractions, a proteolytically active form of legumain was found in the nucleus of both cell lines, in addition to the canonical endo-lysosomal residency. In situ analyses of legumain expression and activity confirmed the endo-lysosomal and nuclear localizations in cultured cells and, importantly, also in sections from xenografts and biopsies from colorectal cancer patients. In the HCT116 and SW620 cell lines nuclear legumain was found to make up approximately 13% and 17% of the total legumain, respectively. In similarity with previous studies on nuclear variants of related cysteine proteases, legumain was shown to process histone H3.1. The discovery of nuclear localized legumain launches an entirely novel arena of legumain biology and functions in cancer.
|The present study describes a novel approach to the identification of the motivational processes in text data extracted from an Internet support group (ISG) for smoking cessation. Based on the previous findings that a "prevention" focus might be more relevant for maintaining behavior change, it was hypothesized that 1) language use (ie, the use of emotional words) signaling a "promotion" focus would be dominant in the initiating stages of the ISG, and 2) that the proportion of words signaling a prevention focus would increase over time. The data were collected from the ISG site, spanning 4 years of forum activity. The data were analyzed using the Linguistic Inquiry and Word Count application. The first hypothesis – of promotion focus dominance in the initiating stages – was not supported during year 1. However, for all the other years measured, the data showed that a prevention failure was more dominant compared with a promotion failure. The results indicate that content analysis could be used to investigate motivational and language-driven processes in ISGs. Understanding the interplay between self-regulation, lifestyle change, and modern communication channels could be of vital importance in providing the public with better health care services and interventions.

What I don't understand is Allan said this is not a firewire based solution yet all the playback devices he mentioned share one thing in common, firewire. Even if firewire is only used for playback, can you claim the system is not firewire based?

I've never bought a modified receiver before. Do you generally have to have the receiver that is being modified, or does the modifier ever buy a bunch and then sell them as a unit?
Trying to figure out how to get hold of an out of date receiver if these become short supply on ebay after the announcement.

Omaha firefighters were called to a pair of house fires within about an hour on Tuesday afternoon.
The first was near 38th and Seward around 2:30. Neighbors reported hearing fireworks shortly before the structure began burning.
Neighbors told WOWT 6 News that kids were running and screaming, "Fire!" after the fireworks went off. Firefighters quickly doused the flames.
According to neighbors the home had been vacant.
No injuries were reported but next door neighbor Nathan Jackson said, "It was fully engulfed."
A WOWT 6 News crew on the scene says it involved a fire on the porch. It was contained there.
The flames were quickly extinquished and there were no reports of injuries.
The battalion chief on scene said no one was home at the time.
There was no initial word on a cause.

A day to honor mothers — and other mothers, too
As we reflect on motherhood and those who gave us life, we also can remember the other mothers — those others who've mothered us along the way, sometimes in situations our birth mothers never know about.
Special to The Seattle Times
Faith & Values
Mother's Day is one of the most important days on the church calendar. While it is not an official holy day, in many churches its significance is just behind Christmas and Easter. Some make their annual visit to church on Mother's Day and bring corsages to honor the women they love. After church, the celebration continues with brunch or dinner with the family.
Mother's Day is a day to reflect on those who gave us life. Giving birth is not easy, whether it is birth to an idea, a movement or a child. We thank those women who endured life challenges and physical pain so that we could be present today.
There is nothing like a mother's love. Mothers are fierce, compassionate, ingenious and creative all at the same time. Mothers heal boo boos and broken hearts. They go the second mile and are not afraid to laugh and cry in order to keep their sanity. And the economic stress mothers endure to provide shelter, food, clothing and entertainment is nothing short of heroic.
On Mother's Day we also thank those women who did not give birth to us, but certainly mothered us and stood in the gap for us. Our other mothers, as I like to refer to them, saved us from situations our birth mothers may never know about. We may have entrusted our other mothers with secrets too personal to share with the one who gave us birth. Our other mothers were our aunts, neighbors, teachers, coaches and librarians. Yes, it takes a village to raise a child, and it takes a community of mothers to raise a healthy child.
Mother's Day is a great day to honor the women in our lives, yet some activities border on womb worship. I wonder, what is the point when churches give awards to the woman with the most children or grandchildren? I have heard that Mother's Day is one of the most painful 24 hours for women who want to be mothers but are unable to because of physical challenges or other life circumstances. I am sure the initiator of this day of honor did not intend Mother's Day to be a day of sorrow for so many.
It is also a painful day for those mothers who have lost children. An extra hug is in order for those women whose sons and daughters preceded them in death. Parents expect that they will pass from this life before their children. When that assumed natural order is turned upside down, Mother's Day is endured instead of celebrated.
Mothers are not perfect. Mother's Day can be painful for those whose mothers were absent, mean or abusive. I like to think it is never too late to have a happy childhood. Life has its challenges and is exceedingly unfair for many. So we cherish the love, comfort and safety our mothers provided, and we forgive the words and actions that hurt us.
We do not have to forget, but we do have to forgive so we can move on with our lives. Living in the folds of old wounds does not allow us to fully see and experience the gifts of today.
If you are lucky enough to have the Norman Rockwell family gathering on Mother's Day, know you are immensely blessed. Cherish every moment, for as time moves on, traditions, rituals and people change. If you are a mother, you may not get the phone call or visit you are expecting. This year, a chai latte and cinnamon scone may have to suffice for breakfast in bed. Whatever the day brings, be proud of your contribution to making this world a better place.
To all the mothers, aunts, best girlfriends and other mothers, we celebrate and honor you today. Happy Mother's Day.

- We ate at Aura on a TuesdayWeeklyDinerVIPDined on 9/18/2012We ate at Aura on a Tuesday night. The hostess and wait staff were friendly and very helpful. My only problem with staff was constantly having to ask for water. Food quality was a different issue. Started out with an order of frozen strawberry margueritas...it was hot and we were sitting outside. Definitely not frozen. We ordered the spinach and cheese dip appetizer and were not impressed. Spinach was limp and seemed as if it was from a package of frozen spinach. Cheese was okay but a little watery due to the spinach. For an entree we shared the seafood and chicken paella. The shellfish and chicken were all overcooked. The rice was a risotto and was not the correct texture. Not one of our better dining experiences
- The food was simply mediocre.luvfrenchfoodVIPDined on 7/16/2011The food was simply mediocre. The caesar salad had very little flavor, and much of the romaine was on the yellow side. There was great difficulty communicating with the waitress who didn't seem to understand open table, and said I could not be marked as seated because "we don't take lunch reservations", even though I had an open table reservation. The menu was uninspiring.

- What a disappointmentOpenTable Diner Since 2012Dined on 5/4/2011From appetizer to dessert,the taste and the presentation of our food was unappealing. Tough fried calamari. A caprese salad that was three thick slabs of mozzarella (which tasted fine) next to three thickly sliced, somewhat pale tomatoes. The pistachio crusted sea bass, supposedly their signature dish, wasn't crusted at all. The pistachios are simply incorporated in a sauce poured over rather mushy fish. My chicken picata was a thick, dry chicken breast,not pounded thin as picata should be, served with a large pool of lukewarm mashed potatoes. The best item on the plate was the steamed broccoli. My husband's dessert, a passion fruit pie, was surprisingly good. My cappucino pie was not. Our server on the other hand was terrific.

Menu didn't offer a wide variety of choices for dining and the servers were not very attentive to us which I thought awful because the restaurant was not busy. Its located on Lincoln Rd which is polluted with outdoor dining and due to that, there are hosts and hostesses hawking there menus at you as you walk down the street( fighting to get your business)which is a big turn off. I do not recommend this place to dine at. I only recommend dining on Lincoln Rd if it's for lunch and you have nowhere to be after.

Substitute for olives
- jboeke Sep 19, 2011 06:20 AM
My husband hates olives - won't even let them in the house. Black, green, all of them are banned, even if I remove them from his plate when serving. I have a couple new recipes I want to try that would really benefit from that fruity, salty, briny flavor addition. I thought about capers, but wanted to see if anyone else had a good idea for a substitute ingredient. Thanks for your ideas.
I think capers are your best bet, maybe giardiniera. I can't believe you're not even allowed to have olives in the house because your husband hates them!!
This may not help you much unless your husband is the willing-to-try type. But I used to hate olives and I learned to like them very simply and easily.
By the way the reason I wanted to do this is because olives crop up in a lot of dishes in restaurants these days and they used to make me feel really ill because I disliked them so much which could really ruin a meal! Plus so many people raved about them, I wanted to be able to enjoy them too, or least not be sickened by them!
All I did was eat one olive a day for about 2 weeks. At first it was horrible. My whole family laughed at my "daily dose of olive". About a week in I was used to it. I no longer gagged, they just tasted funny. After 10 days or so I was actually kind of looking forward to my olive. I didn't really like the flavour that much but the salty-olivey hit was quite satisfying. So for the last few days I did 2 olives a day.
From then on olives no longer sickened me and in fact I've grown to rather like some kinds, though others still are a bit too strong for me. I still prefer green over black, as I think they are milder? Or am I making that up? I keep my "olive immunity" topped up by eating a few a week :)
re: Muchlove
That's awesome. What a great way to try to learn to like, or at least tolerate, a food that does not appeal to one's palate.
re: Jen76
I know that for me, and several people I know, olive tapenade was a good gateway drug to liking olives.
Warm marinated olives (with some citrus zest, olive oil, rosemary, etc.) are also good, and of course convincing him to try some different types -- something green with a firm texture like Castellano or Lucques might be a good place to start.
re: Muchlove
I admire your fortitude! I can't imagine life without olives. No picadillo, no Chicken Marbella! Oh my!
Sorry to hear that you can't share your love of olives with your husband.
Capers was also my first thought, particularly the 'meatier' caper berries which will approximate some of that wonderful piquancy that olives have.
For something else that approximates that salty, briny and slightly chewy texture (but without the bitter/sour olive taste, alas) have you tried lupin 'beans'?
In Spain they are called altramuces and these are the closest thing I know to eating olives - great with wine or beer. I can find them quite easily ready brined in Portuguese delicatessens (as well as Spanish stores) in London. In Portuguese they are called tremoços.
When eating them you slip off the tough skin and eat the interior.
If you like the briny quality and the texture of olives you're probably going to like these. Even your husband might enjoy them.
Here's the wikipedia entry for them
If you're only able to get dried lupin beans, let me know. I have a recipe given to me by a Spanish uncle for preparing them. It is a bit of a long process though.
re: PotatoHouse
Love that idea!
What about pickled carrot pieces or pickled onions?
re: PotatoHouse
Gotta agree. What does he like that you can forbid him to bring into your house? Tit for tat.
re: hotoynoodle
Inspired by this suggestion I've just done an experiment in the kitchen.
I combined blanched almonds, capers (salted not in vinegar) and some anchovy in a small food processor to get a thick paste. Added a little olive oil and then a TEENY touch of lemon juice and an even teenier slither of garlic. I've ended up with a rather 'meaty' tapenade. It sort of tastes like olives.
I'm having some now on toasted bread pieces with a small glass of sherry.
Very grateful to this thread!
re: katecm
oh! that brings to mind more umami. also fish sauce and worcestshire sauce.
How about marinated artichoke hearts? They have the "meatiness" and the "briney" flavor but don't pack quite the punch of an olive.
re: Jen76
The cynarin in artichokes has too big an impact on the taste of other foods. It could end up upsetting the balance of flavours particularly as it has a tendency to make other foods taste sweet.
I personally love artichoke but I use it only when I want its flavour and qualities in my food.
re: monavano
It's very well known that artichokes will make most wines taste awful.
re: Jen76
We must have a different concept of "artichoke hearts". I use the hearts from the small artichokes common in Spain and Italy - which look like this: http://www.recipetips.com/images/glos...
These 'hearts' have quite a lot of tender leaves around them.
I guess you're thinking of the very base of the globe artichokes stripped of all the leaves: http://www.italyum.com/mambots/conten...
re: MoGa
I don't have a different "concept" of artichoke hearts and I know what they look like and what the differences are. That being said, I have, indeed, used brined hearts that came whole without leaves. I can't say I remember exactly where I got them. I have also been known to chop the tiny leaves off of the baby artichoke hearts (my husband doesn't care for them).
I do think your claim that, "The cynarin in artichokes has too big an impact on the taste of other foods. It could end up upsetting the balance of flavours particularly as it has a tendency to make other foods taste sweet." is a little over the top. I am talking about substituting a few marinated hearts in place of olives in a larger recipe - I wouldn't recommend them as a sub if olives are a main ingredient. Perhaps, I should have qualified my initial suggestion.
I find it hard to believe - especially considering how much Mediterranean food cultures love artichokes - that a few hearts incorporated into a dish is going to dramatically "upset the balance of flavours" in a whole dish. This has not been my personal experience. All one can do is try it and decide for themselves. It is, afterall, only a suggestion.
re: Jen76
Aha! You're definitely not a 'supertaster' then
re: meatn3
Yeah, not sure what being a supertaster or not has to do with it. Was that an insult? I don't think I'd want to be a supertaster anyhow.
Geesh, all I did was suggest that marinated artichoke hearts might work as a sub for olives. You'd think I'd suggested throwing dirt in there or something.
re: Jen76
Oh dear, this is getting a little silly.
Iobeke has told us that her husband detests olives.
As this level of hatred for a food is something a large percentage of 'supertasters' share there is a strong chance that her spouse might be a supertaster, particularly as olives are a classic example of foods that can cause aversion.
As I've taken into consideration the possibility that Iobeke's husband is a supertaster I have warned about the way that artichokes can interact with other foods. This was because a supertaster is more likely to be sensitive to these changes in flavour than the average taster might be.
You commented that you were surprised by the information that artichoke can affect the tastes of other foods so I pointed you to the wine pairing phenomenon because it is extremely well known and documented.
I personally can detect quite a lot of difference to the flavours in foods when artichoke (even the cores of canned baby artichokes) are added to food. You cannot. Who knows whether Iobeke or her husband can or can't. All I did was point out that artichokes do change flavours from my own experience. You've pointed out that you can't detect any changes. I think your experience is just as valid as mine.
What I don't understand is why this is being drawn out.
re: MoGa
Actually, it was monavano that commented with surprise. I only commented *after* you posted the wine thread about cynarin being found in leaves. You never mentioned anything about supertasters or that you think he might be one. I wasn't following your line of thought with the wine or with the supertasters. And the wine thread seemed to be discussing eating artichokes as a separate dish - as in whole steamed artichokes which you eat by scraping the pulp off the leaves. Not using a few marinated hearts as an ingredient.
Look, I didn't really have much of an issue with what you originally said until you started trying to educate me on types of artichokes and that my "concept" must be different. Then you said, out of the blue, "aha, you must not be a supertaster!" Can you not see how this may seem condescending and confusing? Even meatn3 seemed to read it that way.
Your point was unclear and I felt like you were telling me that my experience was not valid and that artichokes will *always* upset the flavors of a dish. It was "drawn out" because of confusion and misunderstanding (apparently).
Anyhow, I hope the OP can use some of the suggestions in this thread. I will leave it at that.
re: MoGa
"You commented that you were surprised by the information that artichoke can affect the tastes of other foods so I pointed you to the wine pairing phenomenon because it is extremely well known and documented."
Sorry Jen76
As you said it was another poster who asked about this. My apologies.
And I wasn't trying to educate you on artichoke hearts, I just wanted to clarify what I think of when I think of them and why that might be different to your concept of them - you seemed to suggest that artichoke hearts don't have any leaves, and this is naturally correct depending on which concept of artichoke hearts you have.
Again, I hoped to point out that your view was perfectly valid.
I don't tend to you use leaf less artichoke hearts so I don't know if this kind doesn't affect the flavours of other foods - at least in a way that I would notice.
This is something worth bearing in mind for me, so I at least have got something out of this discussion.
It's a shame about forums, if you don't explain all the reasons for your thoughts from the outset it is easy to be misunderstood, if you do explain everything you are trying to communicate then the tendency is to come across as pedantic and patronising. But we're all here to exchange knowledge.
re: hotoynoodle
I am not debating whether they affect the taste of wine. I didn't even mention wine. We don't even know if the OP drinks wine or intends to serve it with every meal. I stand by what I wrote above: I find it hard to believe - especially considering how much Mediterranean food cultures love artichokes - that a few hearts incorporated into a dish is going to dramatically "upset the balance of flavours" in a whole dish.
I agree with capers and caper berries (look for the ones packed in salt).
Diced cornichons might work.
I'm not an olive fan myself. Pickled capers always do the job for me. If I'm cooking for others, I use olives if they're called for and just push mine to the side. My aversion isn't quite like your husband's, haha!
re: pinehurst
I just made a squash gratin that involved some "what do we have to use up?" thinking, and ended up with a mixture of caramelized onions and a good bit of queso duro in with the squash. Hub and I tasted and nearly at the same time commented on how much it tasted like olives were in the dish. The sweetness of the onions and the saltiness of the queso duro really combined to say "olives" to each of us. I'm definitely using the combination again.
this seems like a bizarre question -- but what *kind* of olives has he tasted?
I ask because I despise green olives with pimentos, and while I like canned black olives, they don't taste "olive-y" to me.
Then I traveled to Europe and got to taste what olives are supposed to taste like -- picholine, lucques, greek, olive-cured, herb-cured, spicy....oh, wow. What an awakening.
If he hasn't had anything other than those salty, repulsive green and red THINGS they call olives...maybe he'd be open to trying a different *kind*

Edison, NJ -- (ReleaseWire) -- 02/19/2014 -- A proposed plan to construct a cellular tower next to residential housing in Edison New Jersey drew fierce opposition from residential property owners at a recent Edison Zoning Board Hearing. Please go to http://stopcelltower.org/ for more information.
The proposal was made by Verizon Wireless and a commercial property owner in Edison NJ to build a large cellular tower in very close proximity to residential homes on a portion of the Festival Plaza shopping center that borders residential homes on Knapp Avenue in Edison. The cell tower would be as close as approximately 25 yards to the nearest residential property. The Festival Plaza Shopping Center might be better known as the former Tops Appliance Shopping Center and was purchased by the current owner, Michael McCarthy, in 2008. The proposed cell tower and lightning rod would extend approximately 96 feet above ground level. The cell tower would be located directly behind Knapp Avenue residential properties in an area previously required by the Edison Township Zoning Board to be a buffer zone between the shopping center and the residential properties.
Years ago, the shopping center was expanded to allow retail space along the area that runs parallel to Knapp Avenue. But when this expansion was approved, the Edison Zoning Board required a buffer zone in the area between this newer retail space and the private homes. A more recent attempt to expand the shopping center parking lot approximately 12 years ago was denied by the Edison Zoning Board. At that time Edison homeowners protested the proposal arguing that the further expansion would effectively eliminate the buffer zone.
One property owner opposing the cell tower at an Edison Zoning Board Hearing on January 28, 2014 said the cell tower is too close to residential properties and further stated that cell towers next to residential housing always negatively impacts home values. He said that most people faced with the choice between buying a home next to a cell tower versus a home not next to a cell tower, would usually opt for the home not located next to the cell tower. This, he argued, causes reduced demand for properties near cellular towers, and reduced demand always translates into lower property values. The homeowner stated this is unfair to homeowners. The homeowner also argued that previous attempts to expand the shopping center in the area of the buffer zone were denied, and the use of the buffer zone for any commercial purposes would be unfair, since the buffer zone was a requirement for the prior expansion of the shopping center that runs parallel to Knapp Avenue. Another resident argued against the approval of the cell tower citing potential health risks.
The owner of the Festival Plaza Shopping Center, Michael McCarthy, in sworn testimony before the Edison Township Zoning Board on January 28 indicated that his motivation for allowing Verizon to build a cellular tower on his shopping center property was not money, but instead was a desire to help Verizon increase their capacity. Mr. McCarthy stated that his income from Verizon would only amount to roughly the equivalent of the rental cost of a 3-bedroom apartment in the area. A Knapp Avenue homeowner owner addressed that claim by Mr. McCarthy with skepticism, saying that the rent on a 3-bedroom apartment in the area is only approximately $1700 to $1800 per month and that it seems likely that Mr. McCarthy's financial benefit would be much greater. Further, the Knapp Avenue homeowner stated that Mr. McCarthy and Verizon would financially benefit from the cell tower at the direct expense of nearby residential property owners, whose property values would suffer as a result of a cell tower being situated so close to their back yards.
The Verizon representatives included legal and engineering experts, including one said to be flown in from California to attend the January 28th hearing in Edison. Verizon representatives attempted to make the case that the company needs to expand their usage capacity to serve an increased demand for wireless services. Verizon representatives also stated the company hit capacity usage for this area in July of 2013 and December of 2013. In rebuttal, an Edison residential property owner said that Verizon cellular service seems to be consistently strong in the area and recalled that during the turmoil in the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy in 2012, Verizon cell services worked well throughout the area, while other cellular carriers experienced significant service problems and outages. The homeowner stated there are better areas where Verizon should seek to locate any new cell towers which should be areas much further away from residential housing.
The next hearing on the matter by the Edison Township Zoning Board is scheduled for April 22, 2014 at 7:00 p.m. at the Edison Municipal Building located at 100 Municipal Boulevard in Edison. The public is invited to attend and to voice any objections to the Verizon proposal.

Fire burns house garage in St. Augustine
Firefighters from St. Johns County Fire Rescue were called to a house garage fire early Friday morning.
Neighbors who live near Tart Road in St. Augustine called emergency crews after hearing lots of explosions around 1:30 a.m.
St. Johns County fire and rescue tell us the garage is destroyed, but the house, which is about 20 feet away was not affected. It took less than 30 minutes to put out the fire. No one was inside the garage nor the home when it happened.
The house did have another fire in the past three days.
Both fires are now under investigation.

Islanders topple Flyers to continue strong start to season
Tue, 25 Nov 2014 21:23:21 +0000
Uniondale, NY, United States (4E Sports) - The New York Islanders are having a great run so far and continue to show significant improvement from their recent seasons with a 15-6 record.
The Islanders are third in the NHL in offense and hits scoring 3.2 goals and averaging more than 30 hits per game this season.
Though their defense needs more improvement, they are starting with goaltender Jaroslav Halak who has a strong save percentage.
The Islanders' defense must flourish because their top two prospects Griffin Reinhart and Ryan Pulock are defenseman.
If the Islanders continue to play the way there, the playoffs are not a far-fetched goal for a team that struggled for too long.
The Islanders continue continued their strong play toppling the Philadelphia Flyers in a 1-0 victory at home Monday.
Flyers goalkeeper Steve Mason's 46-save effort was put to waste after Islanders centers Frans Nielsen and John Tavares converted in the shootout for their fourth consecutive win.
The Islanders will face the Washington Capitals Wednesday and hope to extend their streak to five straight wins.

Click image for 2 more photos of the ceremony
The Pontiac G8 inched closer to American showrooms today as Holden held a ceremony to commemorate the production of the first engineering prototypes. Full production is scheduled to kick off at Holden Vehicle Operations' Elizabeth plant later this year at rate of 620 cars max per day. The G8 will arrive at Pontiac dealers equipped with either a 3.6L V6 or a 6.0L V8, and Pontiac has told us that the 8-cylinder G8 GT will have a starting price well under $35,000. Holden's full press release is pasted after the jump, and you can read more about the G8 here.
Thanks for the heads-up, Samantha!

First Pontiac G8 Prototypes Roll Off The Line
GM Holden celebrated today as the first Pontiac G8 engineering prototypes to be produced at Holden Vehicle Operations in Elizabeth rolled off the line.
The G8 will be available in Pontiac dealerships in the United States in early 2008 to take its place among General Motors' flagship high performance vehicles.
The Pontiac G8 performance sedan will be the first North American product to be based on GM's new global rear wheel drive architecture, developed by the global team based here in Australia.
Production of the Pontiac G8 is scheduled to commence at the Holden plant in late 2007, bringing the production line to a maximum capacity rate of 620 cars per day.
Announcing this production milestone was Holden Executive Director of Manufacturing, Rod Keane.
He was joined at the media event at the Elizabeth plant by government and industry officials including The Hon Ian Macfarlane MP, Federal Minister for Industry, Tourism and Resources and the Hon Kevin Foley MP, Deputy Premier of South Australia and Minister for Industry.
Mr Keane said, " The Pontiac G8 highlights GM Holden's rear-wheel drive expertise. It shows that international borders pose no limits on the creativity and expertise demonstrated by a global team based here in Australia.
"General Motors is drawing on Holden's recognised leadership in rear-wheel drive cars to be able to deliver uniquely tailored vehicles for markets in Australia, the United States, the Middle East and South Africa.
"With exports integral to GM Holden's future business strategy, the flexibility we have here at the Elizabeth plant is central to achieving that. When full production of the Pontiac G8 gets underway we will be building cars here at Elizabeth for every continent except Antarctica."
The export program will expand the model range at Holden's Elizabeth plant to 18 domestic and 15 export vehicle lines.
Holden has Australia's longest running and largest automotive export program which has delivered more than 772,000 vehicles over the last 50 years.

Posted December 05, 2012 on AP on Fox
By now, there's nothing Manny Pacquiao and Juan Manuel Marquez don't know about each other. After 36 rounds in the ring - many of which could have been scored either way - there's not much fight fans don't know about the two, either. They'll probably do 12 more rounds Saturday night, and if their three previous fights were any indication, the decision will be close. If styles make fights, their styles make for fights that can confound the ringside judges just as much as they do the people who pay to watch. So what's the intrigue of fight No. 4? What reason do fight fans have other than the possibility of Marquez finally winning to spend money that for a fight that could be as predictable as the other three? Maybe just because there's a good chance you'll never see the two ring generals battle each other again. ''I think this is the last fight with him,'' Pacquiao said. ''Last time,'' agreed trainer Freddie Roach. ''We're going to knock him out. End of story.'' That might prove difficult because it didn't happen in the first three fights and the general perception is that Pacquiao is beginning to slip, if just a bit. While no one is suggesting Pacquiao is still not a very good fighter, his last two fights were a disputed win over Marquez and an even more disputed loss against Timothy Bradley. The line in the Pacquiao camp is that the fighter wasn't focused against Marquez last time because of domestic problems and that he was robbed against Bradley. They claim he has something to prove, especially if he is ever to get Floyd Mayweather Jr. in the ring, and has been ferocious in training camp. ''The fourth fight could be the same as the last three, but Manny's hungrier now,'' Roach said. ''I don't think Marquez has seen the best Manny yet.'' The rivalry between Pacquiao and Marquez goes back eight years, when they first met for the featherweight title and Pacquiao came out and floored Marquez in the first round. Marquez got up only to go down two more times in the round, yet somehow managed to end the round on his feet. Marquez would not only survive, but come back to dominate the later part of the fight. He salvaged a draw on the judge's scorecards, the first of three decisions he felt unjustly favored Pacquiao. They met again at 130 pounds in 2008 and the fight was almost as close. Pacquiao won one scorecard, Marquez the other, while the third judge favored Pacquiao by one point, giving him a split-decision win. Then they fought last year at 144 pounds and Pacquiao won a majority decision that angered both Marquez and the crowd at the MGM Grand arena, which booed heavily when it was announced. ''Everybody knows what happened the last few fights,'' Marquez said. ''I want to be more aggressive this time, but with intelligence, because Manny is a very dangerous fighter.'' That Pacquiao is facing Marquez for a fourth time instead of fighting a rematch with Bradley, who was awarded a decision over Pacquiao in June that was roundly dismissed by most in boxing, speaks both to the economics of boxing and the fact the undefeated Bradley doesn't have much of a following. Marquez brings the Hispanic audience, which should translate into higher pay-per-view sales, and he also brings a well-earned reputation as the one fighter who can solve Pacquaio's somewhat unorthodox style. He might be an aging fighter at 39, but Pacquiao also has been showing the signs of his 17-year career in professional boxing. And while Pacquiao is widely acclaimed as one of the great offensive fighters of his era, Marquez might be one of the best counterpunchers. All three of their fights have had tremendous action, and there's no reason to believe the fourth fight will be any different. That's especially true if Pacquiao - who renounced his drinking and partying ways after having marital problems last year - trained as hard for this fight as he and Roach say. ''I think he has the fire underneath him that he used to have,'' Roach said. ''He had four knockdowns in training camp, which were his first since the (Miguel) Cotto fight. He wasn't so compassionate in sparring this time.'' The fight will be at 147 pounds, a full 22 pounds heavier than the boxers were in 2004. Marquez, in particular, appears to have bulked up, leading Roach to question how natural his weight gain really was. Marquez wore a bulky coat while meeting with reporters Wednesday as if he were trying to conceal his physique. ''Maybe I'm bigger, but I need to be fast, and I need to be quick to win this fight,'' Marquez said.
