Caption: A schematic illustration of the resistance of cancer stem-like cells (CSCs) to cryoablation alone and its combination with free doxorubicin (fDOX) and nanoparticle-encapsulated doxorubicin (nDOX). Cryoablation may destroy most tumor cells while the remnant CSCs will reinitiate tumor growth and tumor relapse ensues. The combination of cryoablation and fDOX is not effective enough to destroy all CSCs either to prevent tumor relapse. In contrast, cryoablation combined with nDOX can effectively kill all CSCs, resulting in the eventual elimination of cancer because the non-stem cancer cells could not create the heterogeneity (e.g., cancer cells, fibroblasts, and endothelial cells) in tumor to sustain its growth.

Asia Palace introduces its guests to no shortage of options. The South Weymouth establishment's food selection features nearly 20 categories—making the menu read like a who's who of Chinese cuisine. There's the health-food section, which boasts a variety of steamed dishes, and the house specials section, which simmers with spicy creations. The house-special Dragon and Phoenix fuses two dishes into one with sizzling chunks of shrimp and chicken. The menu also includes entrees designed to share. The Pu Pu platter, for instance, lets diners sample seven distinct foods before taking leftovers home to the hungry minivan.
One of South Shore Living's "10 Influential People You Should Know" in 2010, Jimmy Liang evenly divides his time among his five Boston-area restaurants. At Fuji 1546 Restaurant & Bar, his culinary crew whips up contemporary Japanese dishes with a focus on maki, sushi, and sashimi. The sushi selection ranges from eel-filled caterpillar rolls to sweet-potato maki to the BLT roll, which guests must order without using any vowels. The menu also includes traditional eats such as gyoza, sweet-and-sour crab-meat balls, and filet mignon cooked in a housemade lime-soy marinade. For entertainment, Fuji 1546 Restaurant & Bar has a live DJ that spins every Friday and Saturday night.
The chefs at Kagawa Sushi Bar & Restaurant have been rolling maki and frying tempura since the eatery opened in 2002. Many of the ingredients for their raw creations come directly from the Boston Fish Pier, including the fresh mackerel and lobster found in some of their specialty maki rolls. The chefs' menu is complemented by a bar fully stocked with sakes, wines, and shot glasses filled to the brim with chasers of soy sauce.
The culinary connoisseurs at Ginjo Restaurant delight taste buds with fresh ingredients wrapped into sushi rolls, grilled into hibachi plates, and served up as traditional Japanese and Chinese entrees. Marine-minded patrons feast on an array of sushi, maki, and sashimi or enjoy chilean sea bass and salmon lavished with miso. Hibachi chefs impress diners by patting their head while rubbing their belly and grilling chicken or steak enlivened with mango salsa, black-pepper sauce, and homemade teriyaki to tempt chopsticks. Families, romantic duos, and underdog fraternities can bond and fuel up for a pivotal field day with bites culled from the Chinese menu, which sates stomachs with classics such as kung pao chicken, pork, or beef.
There's nothing old-fashioned about Asia Grill & Sushi's dining room, with its curved bar area bathed in neon light and its ceiling speckled with orbicular chandeliers. Flat-screen TVs dominate patches of wall, allowing diners to catch up on the latest news or watch local sports. Fittingly, the restaurant's specialty rolls are also quite modern and sports-themed. One of many team-named options on the roster, the Patriots roll is filled with lobster, cucumber, and avocado before being covered with two types of tuna, tobiko, sweet sauce, and spicy mayo. Meals also emerge from steamy woks, including sirloin steak that's glazed with a flaming black-pepper wine sauce. Other entrees include crispy tender peking duck and lobster cooked with black-bean or tamarind sauce.
Patrons at Gari Japanese Fusion Restaurant snag sleek metallic seats in a modern, trendy space. Beneath the undulating canopy of a black-and-white sushi bar, chefs slice and chop fresh sushi and sashimi, including specialty rolls with names such as Black Pearl, Lady in Red, and Crazy Monkey. Cooked dishes such as stir-fried noodles, teriyaki, and tempura imbue meals with sweet and tangy flavors. Fusion fare such as tuna carpaccio rounds out meals with piquant spices and insightful commentary on international affairs.

The São Paulo Biennial, which opened on September 6, is traditionally a contemporary art festival, but this year's event puts new emphasis on architecture. Chief curator Charles Esche commissioned nearly 70 percent of the exhibition's artworks, collaborating with a five-person curatorial team that included an architect for the first time in the biennial's 63-year history (fun fact: it's the world's second-oldest contemporary art biennial). — blouinartinfo.com

Ethernet is alot quicker (4 minutes) and when a single N150 Plus is attempting to authenticate it's fine, but any more than 10 and it causes the slow login. After looking further into this the Wireless Module doesn't support A (of which our switches are set to use A and G due to load). I am looking further into this. Samsung also recommend using the manufacturer software (atheros in this case) opposed to Zero Conf and the default Windows Wireless Manager due to issues.
I am also going to try a Wireless G dongle in the netbook to see if that will cause the same results.

Evans (22 points, 26 rebounds) leads Nets
Reggie Evans grabbed a career-high 26 rebounds and matched his career high with 22 points, and the Brooklyn Nets beat the Portland Trail Blazers 111-93 on Wednesday night.
AP Sports Writer
Reggie Evans grabbed a career-high 26 rebounds and matched his career high with 22 points, and the Brooklyn Nets beat the Portland Trail Blazers 111-93 on Wednesday night.
It was the Nets' 20th road win of the season, matching a franchise best. Brook Lopez added 28 points for the Nets, who built a big lead early and stretched it to as many as 30 points.
LaMarcus Aldridge led Portland with 24 points despite rolling his right ankle in the first half and briefly leaving the game.
Most of the Nets starters had retreated to the bench before Portland pulled within 101-87 on Luke Babbitt's 3-pointer with six minutes remaining. The starters returned, and Portland couldn't get closer.
It was a costly loss for the Blazers, who are 33-38 and still fighting for a playoff spot in the Western Conference with just 11 games remaining. Portland dropped 3 1/2 games back of the Los Angeles Lakers for the eighth and final playoff spot.
The Nets (42-29) have already clinched their first playoff appearance since 2007, and are now jockeying for home-court advantage.
The Nets were without Joe Johnson for the second straight game because of right quad contusion he sustained in a loss at the Clippers on Saturday. There was talk Johnson - who is averaging 16.4 points - might return to face the Blazers but the Nets did not want to push him with the playoffs looming.
Brooklyn improved to 3-1 on its eight-game road trip.
It was all Brooklyn from the start. The Nets went up 24-8 after Evans' basket with 4:41 left in the first quarter. Evans had collected nine points and 11 rebounds by the end of the period.
In the past 11 games, Evans has topped 20 rebounds four times. The last time he had 22 points came in 2006.
Andray Blatche's follow dunk pushed Brooklyn's lead to 42-17 and C.J. Watson's drive gave the team its biggest lead of the first half at 50-21. The Blazers narrowed the margin slightly with a 10-2 run but the Nets' led 64-41 at the break.
Aldridge, who had missed practice for a couple of days because of illness, started for the Blazers but had to leave for a time with what the team said was a sprained right ankle. The injury didn't slow him too much, and he topped all scorers with 18 points after the first half.
Blazers rookie Damian Lillard, who is averaging just over 19 points, didn't score before having 10 points in the third quarter. He finished with 15.
Notes: Blazers forward Victor Claver, sidelined because of an ankle injury, made his first appearance since March 8. ... The Blazers' video scoreboard turned to the final seconds of Chicago's 101-97 victory over Miami, which snapped the Heat's 27-game winning streak. ... The victory snapped a four-game losing streak for the Nets at the Rose Garden. ... It was the second-worst defeat for the Blazers at home this season.

Altis Life Mod and ArmaCon Progress
So, the last time I wrote, I talked about how ARMA III was taking up a good bit of my time and over at GSNGaming we have shifted our efforts over to it fully. We have dropped support for the battlefield series for the time being since the game is just so broken. This sucks, because we have so many members that are AWESOME to play it with, but we were paying a lot of money to have servers that just constantly sit empty, so this was the clear decision.
We searched around for some of the best Altis Life servers around and started seeing what people wanted and liked. We have experience being admins of many servers, and a lot of people are just looking for good admins that don't abuse their power. We have that taken care of because those are the beliefs that GSN is built on.
Almost exactly a month ago, we launched our initial version of Altis Life. We took the core mod and made some tweaks and enhancements to it to fit our needs and to give it a little bit of custom flair. Things have been going very well with it and we have been pushing out as many bug fixes and features as possible. We also built auto-admin tools around it to make sure our admins can all manage the server and the players effectively and efficiently. We have a custom support system built around it as well. We also automated the entire donation process. There is no manual intervention to donate and then get your donator perks. It all happens automatically and instantaneously. In just a months time, we have taken the rank of our server from ~700 (where you start out nowadays), to 44th in the world, which it currently sits at the time of this post. You can check out the details of our server and you can check out the changelog. We have acquired a pretty good following so far and are looking forward to adding more features in the future. We might even look into opening another server or two. Who knows.
Next up we have ArmaCon. The last post said a week or two until the BETA, but that clearly hasn't happened. I am being too damn picky about the tool and am afraid to launch it with too many bugs. The good news is that it is coming along nicely and the feature set keeps growing. I welcome any feedback that you have for it in any way possible. Feel free to reach out and let me know. It will be out for people to use soon enough. I can assure you, the wait will be well worth it. Until next time, frag on!

CBC is the absolute best - my 3 children started attending at 2 yo and have excelled far beyond their peers...The best staff. I recommend CBC to every parent - skip Daycare is a waste of time and money, Crossroads Baptist Child Development Center offers a Christian centered, safe, very disciplined and stimulating learning environment -they use the Abeka Programme and I love it.. I really love this school and the relationship with its staff is great... If you have a small child and is seeking a 'daycare' try CBC, they have been a blessing to our family...
This is a very nice and very safe, family oriented school. I have had three children in this school. The teachers care about each student and really work for the students best interest. The principal also encourages the children and knows them all by name. The school is small so the students get lots of personal attention. It provides a great start in life for the children.

Woman airlifted after A515 crash between Draycott and Newborough
Posted: March 13, 2014|
A WOMAN has been airlifted to hospital after being trapped for more than an hour in her car following a three-vehicle collision between Newborough and Draycott in the Clay.
Staffordshire Police confirmed the collision between a black Audi, silver Volvo and a white Scania lorry on junction of the A515 and B5234 at 9.37am today.
Staffordshire Fire and Rescue Service also attended the scene and used hydraulic equipment to cut a 45-year-old female driver free from the Audi before she was airlifted to University of North Staffordshire Hospital. Her injuries are not thought to be life-threatening.
The 38-year-old male driver of the Volvo was taken by land ambulance to Burton's Queen's Hospital as a precaution.
There were no injuries to the driver of the Scania lorry and police re-opened the road at 11.15am.
A West Midlands Ambulance Service spokesman said: "Upon arrival, the emergency services found two cars which had been involved in a collision. Both cars sustained significant front end damage.
"The driver of one car, a 38-year-old man, was out of his vehicle. Ambulance crews assessed the man and found he had sustained neck pain in the collision. He was immobilised with a neck collar and spinal board before being taken to Queen's Hospital Burton.
"The driver of the second car, a 45-year-old woman, was mechanically trapped in the wreckage. Ambulance staff assessed the woman whilst in the car and found she had suffered arm, chest and hip pain. Once they had administered pain relief, ambulance staff worked closely with the fire service to carefully extricate her."

text: Hello I play a Paladin Tank on Rexxar US (Zwingli) and for awhile now I have been speaking with about 4 other tanks into progression (some farther then me and in 25 mans) and it seems to me that there are two ideas of gemming one for Stam, the other for Avoidence. Now my question is obviously which of them is better for ICC Progress raiding still stacking stam in every available slot? May it be a good idea to get a few different gems here and there for a socket bonus or two? What trinket should I use as I have both avoidence and health trinkets available, which one will give me the best survivability in ICC. Also what Enchant would people recommend for your weapon? I have always loved Agi for weapon cause of the Crit chance and the Dodge. However, I have seen that Accuracy can be a very good one or something like mongoose. Any comments or ideas on any of this is good and if you wouldn't mind making an argument for this I would appreciate it greatly.

Why Is It So Hard To Be Today's Soft Rock?
When Smooth Jazz WJJZ Philadelphia flipped to Mainstream AC as Now 97.5 on Monday morning, something was readily apparent to most industry observers. Despite positioning itself as "a younger approach to today's soft rock" and numerous attempts to tag rival WBEB (B101) as old-sounding, Now 97.5's music was pretty similar to B101's. In fact it appeared to be essentially like any mainstream AC, with two '70s songs in the launch hour and an average era that was, in many hours, often only slightly newer than B101 (e.g., 1991 vs. 1993 at 8 a.m. Tuesday morning).
Can an AC station hang its hat on being newer and younger and segue, as Now 97.5 has, from Celine Dion's 14-year-old "Because You Loved Me" to Boston's 32-year-old "More Than A Feeling"? Well, throughout the industry, even AC stations positioned as 'more contemporary' hedge their bets musically, at least a little. WWFS (Fresh 102.7), the concept's breakthrough station, has always played the '80s. KFRH (Fresh 102.7) Las Vegas, one of the first subsequent launches, signed on newer and edgier but has bolstered its '80s concept in recent months. And B101, which licensed the term "fresh" as a pre-emptive strike, has made its music more contemporary over the years, but it also hangs on to a few '70s songs an hour. Only Chicago's Fresh FM, WCFS, is primarily a '90s and now AC station.
When WWFS launched nearly two years ago, it was the firmest proof to date that "soft and contemporary" was not an oxymoron. Fresh never unseated WLTW (Lite FM), but it did seemingly nudge Lite into downplaying its well-known handle and becoming even more aggressive on new music. In a year of surprise adult hits like Snow Patrol's "Chasing Cars" and Fergie's "Big Girls Don't Cry (Personal)," there was clearly some validity to the notion of renewed adult interest in newer music. You also saw the new adult music emerge in research. Songs from the '70s, '80s and '90s polarized the generations; the new adult music was a surprise presence at or near the top of music preference studies from AC to Triple-A. And, for a while, seeing Daniel Powter's "Bad Day" at the very top of an AC music test was a regular occurrence.
So why is it so hard to play Today's Soft Rock? Why does nobody truly want to be soft and contemporary? It's not that radio is being disingenuous. There are indeed some issues that are likely holding programmers back:
* An AC specializing in the '90s and now has 18 years of music to work with. If you go back to the late '80s when still-enduring ballads like "Wanted Dead Or Alive" or "Every Rose Has Its Thorn" represented a generational break, you'd have more than 20 years of music. But the average Mainstream AC is used to 35-to-40 years of music to work with, giving them the true ability to go a mile wide and an inch deep. I have certainly heard some younger-leaning ACs relying heavily on songs that weren't on the radio much before a year or two ago (e.g., Paula Cole's "I Don't Want To Wait," Janet Jackson's "All For You") and you can't help but wonder whether they're forced to dig deeper for songs, or else find a much younger, narrower target for whom those songs are as important as "Fire And Rain."
* Not that many songs have become "Big Girls Don't Cry" or "Chasing Cars" in the last two years. WLTW, which was willing to be early on a James Blunt or Daniel Powter without support from Hot AC, has reversed course from last year and become more conservative on currents now. And "American Idol" and "Grey's Anatomy" can jump start only so many songs. Most still have to make their way from Top 40 to Hot AC to Mainstream AC over the course of a year. And while Top 40 is handing down more suitable titles these days, it still plays a lot of music that will never make it down the food chain.
* By dint of reaching AC after a year of heavy exposure elsewhere, the records that populate the '00s/recurrent category at AC are usually the most burned records on the station, a phenomenon that first became visible with Faith Hill's late '90s hits. So if "Bad Day" is now at the top of the list for preference and burn, as is often the case, there's not always a new record that galvanizes adult audiences coming along behind it. Meanwhile, the '70s and '80s material that is being de-emphasized to give the '90s or now an extra space on the clock, is being rested and refreshed.
* Music from the '90s doesn't yet have the same purchase on the affections of the AC audience as '70s and '80s music. Much of it was brought to listeners by a relatively weak Top 40 format and didn't have the same reach as '70s and '80s music. It's also divided among various movements that lasted for one high-school class: Wimpy early '90s pop; Country (most of which AC doesn't play); Alternative (much of it too hard, although I do hear Pearl Jam's "Better Man" on Fresh); Rhythmic (everybody is sure En Vogue will be part of AC soon, but it's a slow process), and teen pop (still limited to a few Christinas and Backstreets). Only late '90s Modern AC seems to have become a viable food group for AC.
That said, as time marches on, it's hard to imagine that a more contemporary version of Mainstream AC won't take hold. Format trends are often about five years ahead of their time at first inception; the first '90s and now AC stations are at least three years old (and I expect this column to prompt an e-mail about an even older one). The increased adult success of many Top 40s also suggests that there are adult women searching for new music. And as the Bob- and Jack-FM stations proved about variety, you can't claim an image without eventually delivering on it. And there was clearly a grain of truth that made the concept of a newer Mainstream AC worth seizing on.
So what can a newer-skewing AC do to make sure it has enough new music? One answer is to keep closer tabs on when CHR hits are reaching their audience. Jordin Sparks' "One Step at a Time" is certainly a song that sounds like it will play on Mainstream AC for many years to come. But "Tattoo" is still in the AC top 10, meaning you're likely to wait 6-9 months for "One Step" to kick in. Is that really because adults need the better part of a year to become comfortable with it? Or because many ACs have no mechanism for testing new music except twice a year in a library test, if they're lucky? And while many mid-to-late '90s songs may never have acceptable staying power for AC, some will return to playability if PDs continue to look for what new listeners are bringing into the demo window.
Eighteen months ago, there was something very exciting about the prospect of a truly newer leaning AC format – a station that could finally convert those people who walked around saying, "Just because I'm 39, I don't want to give up on new music" into AC listeners. It's one of the few things that radio can do that is based in emerging music styles and not in a repackaging of oldies. Recommending today's music to adults is a franchise that won't always be up for grabs – Triple-A, Smooth Jazz, Hot AC, and Top 40 all want it, too, and so do Pandora.com, Amazon.com, iTunes Music Store, Internet radio and every TV music supervisor in America. Contemporary soft music is a great image. It will be an even better format if somebody actually does it, and can make it work.

Anyone remember the lady with the ping-pong balls in the Bush bar in Priscilla QotD?
Sounds like she's got a much more wild sister -- game on. As I'm heading up organising a stag do in a few weeks could I have contact details please El Reg so we can book her...
Im sorry but...
... why on earth would you go to the press with this story? Are you that desperate for publicity that you really want to me known throughout the world and interwebs as the guy who got battered by a flying dildo?
Honestly i will never understand people...

Yes, yes, it's in Bootnotes, but this sort of story should be reserved for Fridays.
Unless there's a Playmobil reconstruction :)
Re: Disappointed in El Reg
Well, it should just serve to remind you how far away Friday is. I have to suffer all week, I don't see why you should get away with it.
Happy Monday!
Why wait for Friday?
I was amply reminded all week long that today was the very-romantic-and-not-a-commercial-stunt known as Valentine's day. So this story seems quite appropriate, in "an awkward sort of angle", as the bloke put it.
Happy Monday indeed. You're twisting my melon, Mod.

Let's see, which one to use first...
"Being hit in the forehead with a plastic prick isn't awkward enough, so you have to bring geometry into it?"
"The Angle of the Dangle is proportional..."

How, exactly, was she "shooting dildos at the guests"?

And if, like me, you have no idea what this is about, here's the clip from Priscilla. I still don't believe it, though. Possibly NSFW.
Watch your units...
Since it is a dildo, 12 centimeters wouldn't qualify for damage, unless this dancer has l33t skillz that I'd like on my girlfriend to propel such *dart* at reasonably damaging speeds, or the instrument was made of solid steel. On other hand, (no pun intended) 12 INCHES....
The only unanswered question, really, was this actually his blood...

FALLON, Nev. (AP) - Residents of Fallon, Nev., are cheering on a
hometown star this week as a former high school athlete competes
for a gold medal in the Summer Olympic Games.
A large banner for 25-year-old Aarik Wilson hangs on Fallon's main street, where storefronts display signs rooting on the former resident who was born in Reno and graduated from Churchill County High School.
Wilson is competing in the triple jump and the long jump in Beijing.
To support him, Fallon residents raised enough money to send Wilson's college coach to China to be with Wilson while he competes. Wilson was the 2005 NCAA triple jump and long jump indoor champion with Indiana.
He qualified for the Olympics by winning the triple jump at U.S. trials in Oregon.

Level 3 Award in Assessing Competence in the Work Environment
302 Assess occupational competence in the work environment
The Level 3 Award in Assessing Competence in the Work Environment is intended for assessors who assess occupational competence in an individual's work environment. It includes the following assessment methods (although not all of these require performance evidence):
• Observation of performance in the work environment
• Examining products of work
• Questioning the learner
• Professional discussion with the learner
• Use of witness testimony
• Learner statements and/or reflective accounts
• Recognition of prior learning
There are four learning outcomes to this unit. The learner will:
1. Be able to plan the assessment of occupational competence
2. Be able to make assessment decisions about occupational competence
3. Be able to provide required information following the assessment of occupational
4. Be able to maintain legal and good practice requirements when assessing
occupational competence.
How will this unit be achieved?
The evidence for this unit will be completed, via four practical assessments within the candidates work environment on two individuals E.g. (two assessments on two individuals). The reason we ask this is it will give the candidate assessor a chance to develop their candidate within the work environment.
How will this evidence be stored?
As the candidate assessor assesses their candidates within the work environment, they will load their assessments for assessment and mentoring by an Assesstech Assessor. This will be completed and cross-referenced using the e-portfolio Learning Assistant.

Something's still missing in food media...
- jpmcd Jan 23, 2008 06:00 AM
i do look forward to my Cooks Illustrated every other month
i really do treasure my Savuer subscription, and collection
i anticipate the NYT dining section every Wednesday
read blogs here and there, but mainly just look at the pictures
and I read Chowhound to fill the gaps, occasionally posting, but I still crave MORE
like a lot of other people, i am over the food network, try to get love my fill of food tv with weekend afternoons of PBS and the occasional Bourdain - i totally cracked up during Bittman's show sun night with Michel Richard (maybe it was a repeat but i hadn't seen it before) but still these shows are on so infrequently!
and Top Chef is not on til next season...
SO WHAT's MISSING??? i can't figure it out...should I just eat out more and visit restaurants of chefs I admire? is there an expert chef blog that I don't know about? i think i'd like more insider info from the real pros, maybe?
thoughts? anyone else feel in the same boat? what do you wish there was more of?
Part of the beauty of being a foodie is the eating part. Eat more. Eat something you saw in one of those magazines that took your breath away or something you've never eaten before. Try one new restaurant that looks appealing to you, yet you've never heard anything about. Experiment at home by making dishes you like at your favorite restaurants in your very own kitchen. And, if you can, travel.
re: gmonkey
Oooooo, Yes!! Travel!! I've found that my hobbies and activities have evolved to all incorporate an aspect of food: gardening, home cooking, cooking classes (I'm a volunteer assistant so I can "afford" to do a lot of these), traveling (as much as possible), reading about food and food people (memoirs, biographies, novels, food origins, food politics), food movies, joined a CSA, shopping the farmer's markets, scoping out local artisanal products (at home and while traveling), destination dining. Even did a weekend food radio show for a year. Seems a little obsessive, but oh well.
re: jennywinker
I could also add that I work in a food-oriented business. It's not exactly a dream job, but it is another way I stay connected to food trends, food policy, etc.
If I had more time, I would explore more on epicurious.com. I also like culinate.com. That usually leads me down some food rabbithole or another.
I feel the same way. Here are some ways I fill the void: Start a blog, offering your own input, volunteer at your local farmers market, experiment in your kitchen, testing things out.
Read other peoples blogs--they are great....often can lead you to more sources. There are amateur blogs, but there are also blogs by restaurant insiders, food writers, etc. From Ruhlman's blog to our local chocolate store, there is an endless world out there. I do restaurant marketing, and in addition to my own personal blog, I host blogs for the restaurants I work for, so maybe check out your local restaurants.
I am also considering taking on the early 90s idea of a zine and starting a local food zine...so what is it you most want to know about food? or read about food?
re: dagoose
by zine, do u mean magazine? In general I am looking for more expert advice from professionals and industry leaders - i also want a peak inside the chef world and how they eat and cook - I am admittedly fascinated by places chefs gather off duty, like Blue Ribbon (dont know if this still happens)
re: jpmcd
I think you start running into the Heisenberg uncertainty principle here.....by observing something, you change it. The more we peel back the cover on the life of chefs, the more they're going to alter what they do and then we're not watching anything like what we set out to watch anymore.
What sort of advice are you looking for? And from which industry?
re: ccbweb
i definitely don't want that to happen - but I do love shows like Charlie Rose when he interviews chefs - i would like to learn a little bit more from them and about them bc they know so much and i find them so fascinating
when i say "industry" i mean the broader food industry, i guess more specifically restaurant industry experts
Re "is there an expert chef blog that I don't know about..?" Check out http://www.chefsblogs.com/directory/i... and http://www.superchefblog.com/ with links to many, many chefs' and foodie sites and blogs. Having my own culinary food blog, I appreciate other comments on this topic encouraging you to check out foodies' blogs, maintained for the love good food -- certainly not for money.
re: ClaireWalter
That is so cool. Thanks for posting those sites. Except now I'm going to have to quit my job before they fire me.
There is another food/travel website launching soon, called www.foodtrekker.com. It's sponsored by the International Culinary Tourism Association.
how about movies or some fiction for a bit of fantasy instead of all the "real life" stuff?
I do not work in the food industry (but i do bake and sell on the side)....but I still dream about it...so i love to read novels where the primary characters are chefs and what not. Same goes for movies....
Personally, I think food is more of a participant sport.
Part 1 is travel. Going to Ecuador for the ceviche is great, but finding out what's locally available - maybe an Ecuadorian family has started something in some part of the city, and all you have to do is find it - that's almost as great.
Part 2 is cooking. Saveur and CI are inspirations. With each article or recipe comes a flood of research and ideas of my own to try. Research may be cross-referencing other recipes to see what the key ingredients or steps are for that dish, but to see what people change, as well. Then it's time to get creative!
Also - have you read everything Trillin has written? Steingarten? Reichl... and on and on... lots of really great food writings out there in books.
I wish there was more chowhounding.
It's great to see continual detailed coverage of the same places over and over again, because an experience at a restaurant can vary considerably, depending on the staff on duty, changes in the menu etc.
But there are tons of places out there that no one ever talks about in any media. You only read about them in the phone book. We have no idea if they're good or bad. A chowhound doesn't just follow existing information to the good chow. A chowhound *creates* information where there was none, by applying his/her chow savvy to explore unknowns and in the process find new deliciousness. It might mean eating a lot of average stuff, but there's also the thrill of critical exploration. We need lots more of that.

NFL Football 2013: 5 Things We Learned From Week 17
The 2013 NFL regular season ended with many exciting games which helped to finalize the first-round playoff match-ups. Here are five things we learned on Sunday:
The 2013 NFL regular season ended with many exciting games which helped to finalize the first-round playoff match-ups. Here are five things we learned on Sunday:
A duckling needs to do one thing above all others: follow his mother. But sometimes, that's a bit harder than it sounds.
It's the final week of the 2013 regular season in the NFL. By Sunday night, we'll know which teams are moving on to the post-season, and which are not. Here are five storylines we'll be watching:
This puts a whole new spin on the phrase "color blind."
Unfortunately in the world of professional wrestling, not every superstar makes it out of the sport alive. Be it from a freak accident or years of drug and alcohol abuse.
Well, there's at least one Dallas Cowboys quarterback who we can all agree to love.
The wrestling entrance has come a long way. It went from the typical into an absolute spectacle complete with fireworks, Titantron montages and dazzling light shows. Wrestling entrances have become so popular that other sports, especially MMA, mimic their style.
Last month Rachel Washburn returned home from Afghanistan, following her second tour as a first lieutenant in Army intelligence. She was honored Sunday night at halftime of the Bears-Eagles game in Philadelphia, where she was a cheerleader for three years.
Hedgehogs sometimes curl up into a little ball of irresistible fur. It's quite photogenic.
Colin Kaepernick threw for one score and ran for another and NaVorro Bowman returned an interception 89 yards for a touchdown with 1:10 to play, as the 49ers beat the Atlanta Falcons, 34-24, in the last regular season game at Candlestick Park in San Francisco.
If you own a cat, it won't surprise you that a cat feels about a sweater the way a person might feel about a straitjacket.
Week 16 of the 2013 NFL season saw three more teams clinch playoff spots. Here are five things we learned on Sunday:

I have always owned a K&N air filter for my various vehicles. From my truck to my car the K&N air filter provides high quality performance in any weather that is thrown at it. I live where all four seasons storm through each year and through the snow, rain, dust, and gravel roads my K&N filter has never let me down. Maintenance is simple and quick.

Very dependable easy to install and to maintain. For the Maxima, it does give about a 1 mile extra per gallon. I would recommend this product to others. Thank you

I installed the K&N cold air intake in early 2013 on my 2001 Silverado 5.3L. I only drive it about 1500 miles a year. My wife was driving it 65 miles a day for a week and noticed a horse power difference and a noticable fuel milage increase. I told her that the K&N install was a great investment. It was easy to install and a true increase of power.
Pruitt, Ohio

Love the filter used on my 7500 watt onan generator very easy to clean and reuse. In fact I'm planning on odering another one just like it
Thank You K&N.

I'm a big fan of these filters. I have the forced air system in my truck and SUV. Makes all the difference in the world. The above air filter is in my daily commuter and certainly helps boost the turbo air flow as well.

The filter is great, as you'd expect from K&N. The only thing is the listed years this filter will fit. Sometime in 2003, Suzuki changed the pattern so not all 2003 RM250's take this filter.

Excelent. Good.

Does the job but would be better with spray function on both bottles!

This filter is very easy to tighten, due to its nut on the bottom, compared to others which need some kind of wrench to grip (and often crumple the sides).

Easy to install for me. Looking at directions it seemed hard and time consuming but they were right on the money about everything. Took no time at all. Truck sounds great and has more pick up and go. I needed more power to pull trailers without killing my gas mileage. This worked great. Going to order another for my wife's jeep next month. Thanks again.

living in Alaska we have a lot of dust, sand and volcano dust on the roads year round. They can't get it all up when they sweep. I bought an extra RF-1041 for my GMC truck so I can have the extra protection and efficiency with no down time. It was the best buy I ever made next to my truck.
Ted Godwin
Anchorage, Alaska
November 18, 2013
I noticed the difference in power and fuel mileage instantly. It only took about 10 minutes to install. I love the sound it produces with throttle response. I've been using K&N since the 80's on our offroad trucks, and now I use them on all my vehicles.
November 18, 2013
Awesome product. Bolted right up to my 2013 f150 5.0. Sounds great. Looks great. Overall great product.
Mark Bender

Excellent product. .5 to 1 mpg increase.
November 18, 2013
Great product. Fits my Stihl 044 magnum perfectly. Needed more intake as the cylinder was milled .030 and the ports were expanded and polished. This is a 20 year old saw and it screams.
Stratton Poindexter
Redmond, Oregon
November 18, 2013
Mileage increased only by one MPG, but performance was enhanced. The engine has more energy. Passing poweer is better without using the kickdown. I'm pleased with the purchase.

Perfect fit on stock equipment. Improved air flow. Highly recommend
November 18, 2013
I am very happy with this intake kit. It was very easy to install with the minimal tools I have. The instructions were very straight forward and simple. It has noticeably changed the horse power, and more so, torque of my Ford pickup! I would also add that if someone is looking for an intake that doesn't add a bunch of engine noise, like some on the market, K&N is the best choice! Thanks K&N. Keep up the good work.
Placerville, California
November 18, 2013
I replaced the OEM filter that came with the [brand] carbon fiber case high performance filter system I run on my 2002 Cyclone M2.I don't believe there is anything better. I use K&N oil & air filters on almost everything I own, (two bikes, one Ram 3500 P/U, a Mitsubishi compact diesel tractor and three V-8's, one Pontiac, one Ford and one Chevrolet.
Roger Chillemi

Well pleased with the product will order again when needed.
November 18, 2013
I have purchased 4 K&N air filters. 3 for my current and past Hondas and 1 for my Triton V-10 powered motor home. I am a retired automotive technology instructor and understand the inherent advantages of this free-flowing filter.I was most impressed with the increase in power produced by my V-10 motor home engine after I replaced the OEM filter with the K&N filter. With the original filter, while towing my car behind the motor home through the Pocono Mountains, my coach downshifted 3 and 4 times on steep upgrades. After installing the K&N, on the same grades with the same load, the transmission only downshifted two and sometimes 3 times at most. Fuel economy increased 10 to 12%.
Russell Mccaw
St Augustine, Florida
November 18, 2013
Hard to find this product anywhere but on line. Works great while you have it.
November 18, 2013
Saves me lots of money on filters but would have been better with a foam prefilter as its on my mower and gets clogged by grass daily.
November 18, 2013
Replacing a washable K&N filter instead of a disposable filter is a no brainer. Sure it costs a little more up front but if your going to keep the vehicle several years like I do, K&N filters pay for themselves. Plus you're doing the environment a favor by not clogging up the landfills with disposable filters. I clean my filter once a year no matter how it looks. Its easy enough to do. Price it out for yourself, disposable vs. K&N washable. Even with the cleaner and spray oil it a money saver and the chemicals are not harsh smelling.
McHenry, Illinois

Dear Sir,
Your filter was the ONLY thing between this chipmunk nest and complete destruction of my 5.9L Cummins Diesel engine! This nest of hundreds of walnuts was under my filter, in the airbox of the engine. The truck ran fine, but the filter minder alerted me that something was wrong. They were stacked right against the underside of the filter! IT stopped ANYTHING from getting into the turbo and trashing my engine. You have a customer for life, and anyone I can turn on to your fantastic product.

It's purpose works. Makes cleaning the filter a little easier. I would like to see this wrap added to the purchase of the cold air intake.

I've used K&N for years and automatically put them on all my vehicles. Now on my 2012 Impala,2006 & 2007 Silverados and my 2013 BMW 1600GT motorcycle. They just work, last forever, easy to clean and fit perfectly. Worth every penny.

If you need even more module control, give MetaMod a try:
Advanced Module Manager is compatible with MetaMod Pro!
More information: http://www.nonumber.nl/advancedmodulemanager
NoNumber extensions require php 5.3+
See for more requirements: http://www.nonumber.nl/advancedmodulemanager#requirements
For support use the forum: http://www.nonumber.nl/forum
Do NOT use below reviews to post support requests or issues.
Time based rules will be added soon.
You can see the assignments used in Timed Styles.
I will port those assignments to AMM too soon.
I really don't understand negative/bad ratings that appeared lately as I found it one of top 5 Joomla extensions outhere.
It seems to me that they were written by inexperienced people or some other irrational reasons.
I give my thumbs up to the developer who is doing great work! Keep on rockin'!
This extension will save you so much time and effort trying to bend Joomla to how modules should really work!
Also I must say the recent change of being able to colour code labels onto the modules in the module manager also really helps out - I colour coded all modules on a site last week and had all the modules the client should never touch in red and the ones he needed to edit in green - really made a difference!
This extension should have been part of 1.6 - damm too late now...
I WISH I would have known about this months and months ago. This will undoubtedly save me tremendous amounts of frustration and time.
I will include it in all of the future installations of Joomla I do.
Thanks for a GREAT admin friendly extension!
-So many assignment capabilities
-Is one of a kind(As I Know)
Have installed on dozens of sites and it works great
even with some minor bugs it is a real MUST HAVE.
(In some rare cases the assignment gets reset and in more rare cases it doesn't work as the assignment-I cannot tell what cause these-BUT it's worth it)
