I'm new to the forum, so I'm posting hopefully! :) A friend's aunt has a secret recipe for some amazing relish that I'd love to make...but it's a SECRET! I know it has hot peppers in it, green olives, and I believe some carrot. It's chopped pretty small...Anyone have any recipes that might be similar? |
Follow-Up Postings:
Not other than a specially designed safe recipe for antipasto. Otherwise what you are describing is unsafe for canning. |
I agree that you wouldn't be able to can this. Not sure what freezing might do to the quality but it would be safe. But for fresh use, if I Google 'pepper olive relish' all sorts of recipes come up. Some with mustard, some with mayo, some with various blends of herbs, sweet or hot peppers, shredded carrots to add some sweetness, even onions can be added. Many recipes are available to experiment with to get the taste you want. Dave |

You didn't indicate whether this was a fresh (i.e. refrigerated) or canned recipe, but I'm assuming not canned because of the green olives. Regardless, it helps to have more information. Taste, size of pieces, consistency, proportions of ingredients, anything you remember. It sounds a bit like muffuletta relish for those New Orleans sandwiches, but without more details I can't be sure. Carol |

To add what Dave mentioned, I've seen a lot of recipes for Hot Giardiniera (for which safe canning recipes can be found) chopped after opening as for relish then mixed with green olives, olive oil, parsley, etc. as a kind of salad or sandwich filling. She could have purchased a commercial Giardiniera and done that sort of thing quite easily. Don't even get me started on people who don't share recipes. Carol |
Carol, what's wrong with olives in canning? I wasn't aware of any olive issues. Is it the fat content? |
Both the ph level and the oil content make them unsuitable for canning. |
sounds like giardiniera - any cauliflower or celery in there? |
Ok, thanks. I've been looking for a good gardienera recipe for canning and if I could put olives in it I'd be all over it! |
Now that you mentioned olives, I went back and looked at my Joy of Pickling book and realized that any recipe with olives is stored in the refrigerator. I was looking for a gardieneria recipe. Boy, are there ever a lot of unsafe ones out there! People canning all sorts of stuff with tons of olive oil, olives, veggies and little to no processing. Most of the instructions say " seal the jars and they will store on the shelves for up to a year". Yikes! |

I said ten -fifteen......but I'm sure it's actually a few more than that.
I have also been to DLR 4 times....
Disney is just the best vacation ever for our family.
I'm not sure but I'm going to say between 20-25 times. We've been going since our honeymoon in 1999. We're now DVC members so we now go 3 times a year (short trips - not full weeks). It never gets old. I can't wait to visit Magic Kingdom every time.
Tina Cole
MK somewhere around 70 times.
EPCOT/DHS/AK around ten times total.
I feel like it's not a fair question for season passholders --- I can't keep track of how many times I've gone!
Yep, that was me as a kid. We lived right down the road in Mount Dora, and my brother was a cast member so we got in for free (in the pre-Eisner days).
That's why I said "around" 70 times. Truth be told, I honestly have no idea how many times I've been to the MK.
My father thinks my estimate is pretty much spot on, though.
20 TIMES (and counting!)
We have been to Walt Disney World twenty (20) times within seven (7) years. We have two upcoming trips in September/October and November of this year. Those will make it 22 visits in 7 years.
For me being "almost" forty (one more year in my thirties), that may not seem like a lot of Walt Disney World trips to some. But, my husband and I never went to Walt Disney World as children. We never went BEFORE we had children. We went for the first time on a whim back in 2004, when our children were 4 and 2 (our youngest wasn't even a thought at the time.). We were visiting my Dad in his winter home in Daytona Beach for Thanksgiving. When planning our route with a map (before we had a GPS) we noticed how close Daytona Beach was to Orlando. So, our first Walt Disney World trip was planned.
After that first walk down Main Street, we were hooked. The rest is history . . .
First came Annual Passes, then came DVC and now we find any reason to get back "home".

We only went every 5 years or so when my daughter was growing up, but we're making up for lost time. I know we hit 75 times in 2009, 55 times in 2010, and we're up to 57 times since March. It's not more than some, but definitely more than most.

Schefter Reports that Mike Wallace will Report for Week 1…
Posted by Scott Pashley in SPIN News & Views No Comments »
Mike Wallace wants serious money and the Steelers are holding their ground in insisting that Wallace sign his tender of $2.7M for one year and report before they will negotiate. This is what you call a standoff. Adam Schefter (we are big fans and he's got the greatest job ever) reports that the plan from the Wallace camp is to report week one as opposed to doing the Vincent Jackson thing and waiting until Week 10.
Not too many experts are willing to rank Wallace low, he has talent and has performed in the past after all, but Pyromanics.com mans up and ranks Wallace at #20 at WR.
Jeff Mans of FantasyAlarm.com is another guy who really breaks the mold. It doesn't take long to realize it either as you glance over his top 5 WRs and see Demaryius Thomas and Dez Bryant at #3 and #4 respectively. He has Wallace at #14 and refers to everyone in the Steelers passing offense probably seeing less fantasy points this year.
Regular readers know that we are loathed to select a receiver or running back who has held out. Put Wallace on that list. We'd be willing to invest in Wallace as a low end WR2 but right now he is going as the 13th receiver with an overall ADP of 39 and call us conservative but we can think of more than 12 receivers we trust more right now. The Steelers offense will run more this year than they have in the past few years and Wallace has not learned the new offense. We also think there is at least a chance that he will drag the holdout past week 1. Remember what Vincent Jackson where he reported for Week 10 and got credit for a full season, same thing goes here and if Wallace's hold out is a matter of principle he may choose to take the same tact. Too risky for us at the end of the third round.

WHY HIM crazy/beautiful made him a teen dream.
WHY NOW He's living out his own teen dream in the fast and furious Torque.
He never had aspirations to act. Jay Hernandez dreamt of being an Easy Rider. ''I used to watch this Japanese animation show about motorcycle riders,'' says the California native, 25. ''Ever since, I've wanted to do it.'' Seems he's found the perfect vehicle: playing a badass biker in Torque. ''Everybody was like, 'Dude, don't do it. It's too dangerous.' But it was awesome.'' (Speaking of danger, Hernandez will be fighting fires with John Travolta in October's Ladder 49.) Currently, he's filming The Nomad, an indie that took him to the former Soviet republic of Kazakhstan and allowed him to explore Western Europe. ''There are museums at every corner,'' reports the actor, an admirer of van Gogh, Dali, and Escher. ''I started painting a couple years ago.'' Since he's worked out that motorcycle fantasy, maybe he can focus on his strokes. Five years from now, he says, ''I want to continue painting. It's just something I love.''

Genocide; it is a heavy word that one wishes had never come into being. The Unitarian Universalist Association has a long legacy of standing up to such atrocities. Rev. Waitstill Sharp, a Unitarian minister, and his wife Martha, a social worker, responded to the genocide in Germany by clandestinely rescuing Jews and opponents of the Nazi regime during World War II. In early 2007, Representative Tom Lantos, D-CA, the only Holocaust survivor in Congress, honored the Sharps in a speech on the House floor, saying, "The Sharps' remarkable story is a powerful reminder that all of us have a moral obligation to take action to end violence and to prevent and stop genocide."
In response to the obvious continuing need for similar actions the Unitarian Universalist Service Committee (UUSC), a human-rights group, was formed to act on this moral obligation, and continues in the tradition of the Sharps through its work in Darfur. Our morals, our faith, and our hearts are all pained by the unthinkable cruelty faced by the Darfurian people.
Follow the links in the left-hand navigation menu to use our resources and take action to end this genocide.

True Life: I Binge-Watched Netflix's 'House of Cards'
Remember when catching up on a TV show required numerous trips to Blockbuster in a single weekend? Us neither. For years we've been mainlining our television shows entire seasons at a time, thanks to the glories of video streaming. How else would anyone have made it through the dismal nadir of season three of "Lost"? What do you think got Americans addicted to "Downton Abbey"?
So when I sat down to watch the first episode of "House of Cards" on Saturday, as a way of killing laundry time, I didn't expect I'd stretch the show out over the next 13 weeks, like I was watching "Dallas" circa 1982. But I also wasn't planning to find myself awake at 2 a.m. last night, polishing off the last episode and frantically googling "house of cards season 2 please oh please tell me it's coming soon."

A Wish Trip For Princess Kate
Hi all. I'm going to see if I can do this. I'm new to the boards, but I have to try!
We will be at Disneyworld for Kate's Wish Trip the last week of Feburary! Our cast members include: Me, Dayna My husband, Brian Our kids are: Charlie 8 (2nd grade) - our highly intelligent history buff, who knows more about the cold war, wwII, the civil war, animals and the presidency than most adults (this writer included, the Animal Kingdom will be hell for me as he lectures me on the animals and their habitats). He does get sidetracked by Star Wars, and he LOVES Mission Space. Kate 6 (1st grad) The princess, she's smart, and VERY social (we call her the cruise director) and she loves all the rides and says she could never pick a favorite, they are ALL great. She is our horse lover, everything is all horses in her world. Tommy 4 (turns 5 in 11 days, preK) He's our little clown, loves to laugh, joke, and has eyes that could pierce stone. He LOVES space mountain and Tower of Terror (which he began riding at 3...did I mention he's tall?) We are a slightly unique family, all three of our children qualify for a Make A Wish. All three kids were born missing part of their immune system, and require GammaGard Liquid, which is basically human plasma that has been processed to remove the antibodies that they are missing (some people call their medicine IVIG). Charlie and Kate get it weekly sub-q, and Tommy gets his IV every three weeks. Both Charlie and Tommy have what can be described as immune related arthritis. Our oldest, Charlie did his wish when he was 5, Kate 3 and Tommy 1, he also choose Walt Disney World. It was a good trip, fun, and very memorable, but we are VERY excited that this trip they are all older, more self sufficient, and will all remember it. When Charlie had his wish, he really NEEDED something to look forward to - he had a difficult year, with 2 hospitalizations, and was really struggling with what his disease meant to him. Kate, now 6, asked to do the same wish as her brother, her memories are more of the village, which she LOVED, in fact, her wish was to go back to the Village, and go to the Animal Kingdom Lodge. Make A Wish has given her a 6 night, 7 day trip to Give Kids The World, and we have extended for 2 nights at The Animal Kingdom Lodge. The timing of this trip could not be better for Kate. She has switched from the IV way of doing her medicine to the Sub-q way. Kate is a very private little girl, in so much as, she doesn't want her friends to know that she is different, that she is sick, that things are harder for her. It became a big issue because she was hospitalized for the second time for severe sinusitus, and needed a pICC line for IV antibiotics, and was cleared to return to school. She wanted to just pretend there was not a tube hanging out her arm, and that no one would notice. She's struggling with who she is, and how her disease fits into that. She's only 6, and it seems soo young to struggle with such big issues. She's begun asking questions that break a mothers heart, like if God forgot her, or if she was being punished by being sick, shes asked questions about things like if she was born into another family if she would have been sick. I think, right now, she needs something to look forward to, and something to hang on to. Kate is truly a beautiful child, which I think adds to how hard this all is - she looks perfectly normal, perfectly healthy, which makes others not understand what they go through (we call this the curse of looking good). We had a really hard time when the kids were being diagnosed to even get someone to listen to us because they didn't look sick. Kate was actually our first child diagnosed. Shortly after I found out I was already pregnant with our youngest, and then, our oldest son was diagnosed (he was almost 3) and then we had Tommy, the baby, and he was diagnosed at 6 months. This is, of course, not what we planned for their life, but we are ever so grateful for the people who donate the plasma that becomes the kids medicine, glad that the medicine allows them to be able to do stuff like this. Our family has had a huge love affair with Disney. We live in Southern California and spend a lot of time at Disneyland. It holds a very special place in our hearts, it's the place we always took our kids after their infusions when they were younger. My husband placed Kate's first infusion needle when she was just 20 months old, having her first infusion, and the nurses couldn't get the line (he's was a flight paramedic on a helicopter), it broke his heart to have to do that to his little girl, so the next day he took her to Disneyland, just the two of them, and was able to arrange a private meeting with Snow White for her, where Kate, then 20 months showed Snow White the 6 spots where her veins had blown the day before. We plan to go to Disneyland the day before we leave for Disney World, and my husband has some suprises up his sleeve for our daughter while we are there! We're on our count down we leave in 24 days!!! Did I get this right? We plan to go to all four parks, but will likely take it on the slow side - we won't stay late most days, as the kids ALL suffer from fatigue, especially the boys. Kate really wants to do the Bippity Bobbity Botique, and wants to just explore all the parks! Dayna I'm trying to figure out how to post a picture of the kids but in the mean time - my blog is www.lookthroughoureyes.blogspot.com |

Great report beginning, I look forward to seeing y'all at GKTW. My daughter is a horse lover as well and rides both fall and spring for therapy. She is also at that age of asking the same questions and noticing something isn't the same between her and her friends and since she can't run as fast is getting left behind by some of those she would like to be friends with. It breaks my heart that I can't do anything about it.
Enjoy all the planning and if you get a chance look into the littlest hero project. We found a wonderful photographer that I'm going to post about in our PT Report. |

Sounds great! Kate and Nick are the same age! I will have to get Nick over here to check out your blog, he has never seen anyone his age with his disorder. Only twice has he ever seen anyone at the infusion clinic getting IVIG at the same time as him.. one was an adult and the other a very older boy who was nonverbal.

Your kids are beautiful! Bless their heart! And yours!! I didn't realize there was even a SQ way to get IVIG? Learn something new every day! Charlie and William would get along so well! They sound SOOO similar. William LOVES history and certainly knows WAY more than I ever will. He also loves Star Wars. Particularly those lego sets they have for Star Wars. You guys are old hats at this, so you know that you will have a BLAST! I use photobucket to get my pictures on the disboards. It is easy to load them and I usually just resize all of mine to "Large"...but some folks do medium. Then you can just "copy" the "direct link" onto the pre-trippie and you have pictures! Great job! I will put a link to this on the Wish Trippers Thread, too...so we can all follow your planning, etc! Do you have dates? |

Hey everyone! Thanks for all these replies! We are so excited! Thank you also to those that checked out our blog!
We don't have a ton of things planned - we know we want to go to all four Disney parks, we know that our kids LOVED and I mean LOVED Universal when we went for Charlie's trip. They were UNBELIEVABLE there, and I honestly mean, phenominal to the kids. We are season pass holders at Sea World, here in California, and love it, so we will for sure spent a day there. We extended for two days, and will spend those at the Animal Kingdom which is the park we did not go to the last time we were there. As for the three kids with medical issues, I know this sounds funny to others, but this is our only point of reference. We only have kids with medical needs, and in many many ways it makes it way easier then many other families. For us, we've never ever known anything else, so unlike, say a child with cancer - we never had a period of health and suddenly our world was turned upside down. Also, unlike families who have 1 chronically ill child, and others who are healthy - we also have no sense of what it would be like to have a healthy child, so this is really all we know. I will say, we are very busy. This week, all three kids are being infused...on three differnt days...in two different locations. We have days where we are very overwhelmed - but we also feel totally grateful that there is medicine - that people donate plasma, and that people collect it, and that we have treatment options. I think, also, we have so many friends whose kids are terminal that we spend a lot of our time saying "This could be worse." So.... any input - what should we not miss???

Thank you so much for all these wonderful comments and suggestions - We are big time Disney people, we're at Disneyland quite a bit, so I'm thrilled that Kate gets to enjoy this trip to DIsney World.
I had totally forgotten about Micky's Philharmagic, we'll have to make sure the kids see that!! I asked my husband to call about 1900 park fare. We tried to get into the other one at the castle, but everything was booked . Thank you also for the comments about the blog (which I'm updating this morning about the trip)!! Again, being so welcomed here to learn from everyone and share our excitment is so nice!!

Nick is home sick today so I should have some time to sit and look at your blog with him when he is feeling up to. Are you guys going to the IDF conference? We wish we could have swung it but airfare is just too much for us right now.

We just got back last night from GKTW/WDW and we were able to get into the castle for lunch on the day of. We went up to the podium and said we were on dd's wish trip and asked if there was any way to get in. They said come back in ten minutes, we did, and we got in. So you may be able to get in still. It was a rainy day, so I don't know if that had anything to do with it.
Also, they are opening up a spa at GKTW soon. It was on our comment card (and I thought 'what spa, I never saw a spa?') and then before we left the village on the last day we saw people going into a closed room in the Castle of Miracles with an armload of super fancy kid dresses. We got a little peek as the door closed and it looked close to done. It may be open by the time you get there!!
DD just had a wish trip to Disney World the first week of February!!! Trip report coming soon.

Love u Deepika Padukone and Shilpa Shetty
Shilpa's looks better, but the hanging in her belt should have been avoided. its weird.
both are looking beauty love u both

Shilpa looks better here...
i love Dp..
but here i am gonna with Kundra,...
Shilpa looks better. I would've preferred the belt not having stuff hanging it off it, but the look is still alright.
Deepika's would've been better had she worn the skirt higher. She wore it at an awkward length and the result is an awkward look.
Shilpa pulled it off better, like both of them as actors . But this outfit Shilpa takes the cake
I love both actresses but i think shilpa shetty kundra... definatly GAVE THE BETTER PULL OFF

Psychonaut ("old", but with an amazing art style that makes reference to jhonen vasquez), Trivian 2 (better graphic and a interesting and funny game), Grim Fandango (a great game that mix dia de los muertos from Mexico and the 20s, also older than psychonaut), Bad Mojo (haven't played, but Guillermo del Toro said that this game inspired him in his art style, so I guess its good to try) and Escape from Monkey Island (a pretty cool adventure game).
Dunno if DMC4 is considered "adventure", as its way more a hack & slash. But to be honest the whole genres on video games are just screwed up.
And about graphics: I don't know how many adventure games are out there with "good" graphic, but I'm pretty sure there are no many, specially because there is a preference over style than resolution.

CCC Beneficiary MS-INBRE Curriculum Improvement Grant
Science students at Coahoma Community College will be benefitting from $25,000 worth of new lab equipment this spring, the result of being selected as a recipient of a MS-INBRE Curriculum Improvement Grant and funded by an Institutional Development Award (IDeA) from the National Institute of General Medical Sciences of the National Institutes of Health under grant number P20GM103476.
Along with a bevy of basic new lab equipment, CCC will use the money to purchase a new spectrometer, a pair of high-precision balances, a centrifuge and 18 Wolf Beta Microscopes. Director of Development Letha Richards spearheaded the Science Lab Improvement Project (SLIP) with the intent on increasing the number of Coahomas STEM graduates enrolling in STEM-related disciplines at four-year institutions.
STEM is an acronym for the fields of study in the categories of Science, Technology, Engineering and Math.
Math and Science Chair Patricia Furdge will be charged with implementing the project that includes testing the students at the beginning and end of the semester to assess their knowledge, and also to follow the graduates for a year after graduation and help them become acclimated to their four-year Stem programs.
The new equipment will enable instructors to triple the number of labs CCC students will be able to participate in allowing them to conduct more hands-on experiments that will help to connect concepts learned in lectures.
The Science and Math Department is elated to receive the MS-INBREA Curriculum Improvement
Grant. The MS-INBREA Curriculum Improvement Grant award will allow us to continue to provide our students with practical hands on experiments that will help them succeed in their chosen career path, said Furdge. This grant will enable the Department to move with great momentum to increase student retention in STEM. Special thanks to Ms. Letha Richards for help in securing this grant.

A man was stabbed in the neck and stomach by his girlfriend on Valentine's Day, Orlando Police Department officers said.
Days Inn employees were shocked when the man entered the lobby looking for help.
"He was bleeding really bad. I called 911. The police came and the paramedics came," one employee told WESH 2.
Investigators said the woman stabbed the man at the 33rd Street hotel after an argument early Thursday morning.
The man was rushed to Orlando Regional Medical Center for treatment.
Officers could give no immediate information on an arrest in the case.

[1815] BRAF V600E Mutation Is Seen in 50% of Adult Pleomorphic Xanthoastrocytoma with Anaplastic Features but Does Not Predict Prognosis for Individual Patients
Yao X Schmidt, BK Kleinschmidt-DeMasters, Dara L Aisner, Kevin O Lillehei, Denise Damek. University of Colorado Denver SOM, Aurora, CO
Background: Pleomorphic xanthoastrocytoma with anaplastic features (PXA-A) is an uncommon tumor about which little is known regarding prognostic factors. Indeed, debate exists as to which histological features (number of mitoses, MIB-1 rate, necroses) best correlate with anaplasia in this tumor type. PXAs often have BRAF V600E mutation, although the actual percentage of + cases is variable. Dias-Santagata et al. found 60% of PXAs WHO grade II and 17% of PXA-As + for mutation, whereas Schindler et al. identified mutation in 63-69% of PXAs WHO grade II and 38% of adult PXA-As and 100% of pediatric PXA-As. It is unknown if the mutation has value for predicting individual patient outcome. In addition, virtually no information exists about immunohistochemistry for IDH-1 in PXA-A.
Design: Eleven cases of adult PXA-A were reviewed. Ten cases were assessed for the BRAF V600E mutation by PCR and ten for IDH-1 by IHC.
Results: Patients ranged in age from 18-68 years; 5/11 PXA-As affected temporal lobe and 2/11 tumors were cystic. 5/11 had gross total resection; all but 2 received external beam cranial irradiation; 10/11 received adjuvant chemotherapy (TMZ, BCNU). A dichotomy existed for survival: 4 survived less than 2 years. Long term survivors, in contrast, are alive at 7, 9.3, 10.9, and 11.4 years post diagnosis. Of these long term survivors, only 2 of 4 manifested BRAF V600E mutation. Interestingly, these two patients were amongst the youngest ages in the cohort, at 18 and 28 years. Another young patient (22 years) did possess the BRAF V600E mutation, but succumbed to his disease 1.7 years after diagnosis; he received only subtotal resection and was the single patient who refused post-operative chemo- or radiotherapy, underscoring the need for adjuvant treatment. Correlating with the series by Schindler et al. that suggest higher incidence of BRAF mutation in pediatric versus adult PXA-As, in our series, 3 of 4 patients over age 45 years were negative; a 68-year-old did show BRAF mutation; her survival after diagnosis was 1.9 years. Almost all patients were negative for IDH-1 immunoreactivity.
Conclusions: V600E BRAF mutation is seen in at least 50% of PXA-As in adults; mutational status has no positive or negative predictive value for individual patients in terms of survival. Positive mutation is not exclusive to younger-aged individuals. Negative IDH-1 by IHC is usually identified in PXA-As of adults.

Prototype 2 Review
A good romp through NYC that falls a little bit short.
When I first played the original Prototype game back in 2009, I thought that developer Radical Entertainment had gone insane. Here was a game where I had to run around a city and basically amputate or destroy everything in sight. And while the game did have a few bugs and quips of its own, I did have a ridiculously good time playing it. Fast forward a few years and we're here again with Prototype 2, which aims to once again lure players into a delicious mix of gore and violence. Oh and throw in a few flying tanks for good measure.
If you weren't lucky enough to play the original game, there is a 'Prototype Recap' option available which talks you through the events that unfolded in the first game. You originally played as Alex Mercer, who was infected with the Blacklight Virus and set out to get to the bottom of things. In Prototype 2,you play as Sergeant James Heller, who lost his wife and daughter to what became known as the 'Mercer virus'. His emotions in turmoil, he is discharged from duty but quickly reinstated and sent to the Red Zone, one of the most infected areas of New York City. It is there he meets Alex Mercer, and tries his best to enact his revenge for the loss of his family. But you soon learn that Mercer isn't the real enemy, and thanks to a little slip of the virus from Mercer, things soon start to get interesting.
While the general population has been cornered off into sections for their own supposed safety, they are in reality just being used a test subjects for Blackwatch's various biological experiments. Heller then sets out on a rampage to get into Blackwatch and find those responsible for the chaos ruling the city.
From that point onwards, you're eased into Heller's new abilities, such as increased attack speed and strength, and of course the ability to mutate your hands into claws to shred your enemies into pieces. As you progress through the game you can of course unlock various new abilities in a number of ways. Completing main story missions will unlock new DNA for you to evolve further, while attacking and absorbing certain experiments or key targets upgrade current combat skills or provide new offensive tactics. You can also locate lost Blackwatch agents in the city who carry vital tidbits of information – find enough of these and you're granted an upgrade.
Once you've settled into the story and met a few key characters, the gameplay juggles around a bit to try and keep things interesting. Your missions start off being simple ones where you hunt down a particular target and absorb them for snippets of information (which then lead you to further targets) or sneaking into enemy bases undetected. One of Heller's abilities is that he can absorb any person in the game and then immediately take on their disguise – this is essential if you want to sneak into enemy bases undetected or use terminals to obtain classified information, which you have to do quite frequently.
The story does try to pace itself as best as possible, but in some areas the cutscenes and dialogue are just so drawn out that you're almost itching to get back to the gory action. Heller's swearing also tends to get a bit irritating after a while, but thankfully the brute doesn't talk for very long before you can get back to mauling tanks and terrifying civilians. Speaking of tanks, as with the first game you have the option to hijack military vehicles for your own amusement or to use in various missions. You can quickly rip off weapons or destroy the vehicle entirely, but there are several instances where hiding in a tank when under assault is a good idea. For the most part the game doesn't try to pigeonhole you into just following the main story – there are enough side missions and extra things to discover to keep you occupied for a good portion of time.
The graphics on the game look fairly decent, with cutscenes animating well and character models looking somewhat realistic at times. The live-action flashback sequences are a nice touch and help distract you from the game's occasional texture clipping that always seems to happen when you're jumping from a building onto the streets below. The background score isn't obtrusive and for the most part goes unnoticed until you are spotted by enemies and the music changes to a fast-paced score to compliment the frantic escape.
Prototype 2 is a fair follow-up to the original and fixes some of the combat and targeting issues that plagued the first game. While a lot of fun can be had rampaging around the city, you ultimately have to decide if you really care enough about Heller to pursue his former captors and seek revenge or just roam around the city causing mayhem. Thankfully with a vast city to explore, that choice is up to you.

On a rain-soaked Friday night at C.W. Lewis Stadium, 66 young men suited up in the maroon and gray of Benton. Sixty-six young men represented themselves, their high school, their families, and the entire Benton community with class. Sixty-six young men gave their heart and soul in an effort to secure a win for the Panthers. Though the Panthers came up a bit short on the scoreboard, the entire community of Benton has reason to be proud of the Panthers and their effort.
How do you make lemonade out of lemons? That may seem impossible after the loss to Louisiana Monroe, but I am going to give it a try. Losing to Alabama every year since 2007 has been no fun and after the meltdown on Markham last week, not many are giving my Hogs much of a chance this year either.
In what has been an unconventional start to the season, the Bauxite Miners have played two games so far in the 2012 season, but only have four quarters of action under their belt. Their season opener was spoiled by Hurricane Isaac after one quarter and was only able to squeeze in three quarters last week against Glen Rose. Nevertheless, it hasn't been a pretty start for head coach Shane Clancy and his Miners. While the Miners haven't had a full body of work to go off of, the four quarters they have played are very indicative of the poor start.

Highland Links
The opener at this nine-holer is a short, straight par four, bunkered amateurishly. The closing hole calls for a choke-down wedge to a green shaped like a breaking wave. At points along the fifth and sixth fairways, you may feel the need for protective headgear. But the demerits don't add up to much, because this ancient town-owned links has a blessedness that defies conventional critique. The treeless, windswept headland it occupies offers 270 degrees of Atlantic vista. Rabbits appear on the fringes of Scotch broom and fescue bordering the fairways. The most intriguing holes are the second, which turns toward a distant crenellated oddity called the Jenny Lind Tower, and the sixth, with its steep falloff at the end of the landing area requiring punchy iron play from down- and sidehill lies.
There is a highly recommended museum of Truro's early history at the entrance to the property, and of course the magnificent Cape Cod Light alongside the seventh tee. Take some time to visit one or both after the scores are added up.

Where to Stay
The Club at New Seabury Far and away the most ambitious master plan ever seen on Cape Cod, New Seabury is more than a thousand acres of speed bumps and tasteful signage. A thousand-plus homes line its curving inner roadways. Book a room in the Vineyard Reach complex and you'll overlook the clubhouse and a half-dozen holes from the two layouts. The complex is an eyeful—three levels of decks, gables and chimney tops—but it's well appointed and well located. The more generous suites feature four bedrooms and four and a half baths, with Ethan Allen furnishings and prime water views.
Great Neck Road South, Mashpee. Rooms: $240–$620. Suites: $720–$1,250.
Contact: 508-539-8200, newseabury.com.
Ocean Edge Resort & Club
Route 6A reveals a watercolor softness around many a bend, but nothing I've seen from any Cape road looks quite like the sweep of lawn beyond the fieldstone wall fronting Nickerson Mansion, your beacon for the Ocean Edge Resort. Inside it is an oak-lined reception area with a dark parson's bench, leaded windows and a view of the distant bay. It produces a powerful effect, especially on a cool fall afternoon.
Be careful if booking your Ocean Edge accommodation online—not every homeowner has golf privileges. The issue is avoided, though, by going through the resort's reservation office. Ask for 91 Bay Pines (Eastham House), a newly spiffed two-level home with views of dunes and water stretching all the way to Provincetown's peninsular hook.
2907 Main Street, Brewster. Rooms: $200–$300. Suites: $400–$800.

In case you haven't heard, it's soccer season. Yes, in this cold, dreary, wet — did I say cold — weather, high school boys and girls are braving the elements to play the world's game.
It's absolutely crazy soccer starts in mid-January. I've been to games played on frost-covered fields with the wind chill way below freezing. I've hunkered in tiny pressboxes and huddled around small space heaters to watch a game in the dead of winter while 22 teenagers — and two benches of players — slowly catch a cold. I'm worried about cold fingers as I try to write and follow along with the action. I'm sure cold fingers are just a minor nuisance to the players as total bodies start to go numb.

PROVIDENCE, R.I. — The Rhode Island Center for Freedom and Prosperity, a libertarian think tank, has put out a report that proposes $220 million in cuts for what it considers questionable spending in Governor Chafee's $3.46 billion proposed budget for 2014-15.
The organization suggests such cuts as eliminating a proposed increase of $50 million in the state's historic preservation tax credits and $15 million proposed for the Unified Health Infrastructure Project. It also proposes eliminating certain grants, positions and some programs.
One of those programs the organization has proposed eliminating, the Rhode Island State Council on the Arts, responded to what is says is the Rhode Island Center for Freedom and Prosperity's inaccurate report.
The Rhode Island Council for the Arts said that the center's statement that the council used tax dollar to fund an X-rated, erotic holiday party and a series of underwear "art" that double as genital mutilation contraptions is fiction.
Randy Rosenbaum, the executive director of RISCA, said the agency does not fund "holiday parties." Rosenbaum said the link in the report takes you to the blog of a Boston artist describing shows she attended during the period of a week in 2008 and none of the acts were funded by RISCA. One artist mentioned in the blog won a grant from RISCA three years later, in 2011 but not for anything associated with so called "underwear" art, he said.
Rosembaun also took umbrage with the center's statement that "One of the organization's grants was a $2,630 giveaway to Ten31, a Pawtucket outfit that creates human statues (in other words, getting people to stand very still for a long time and calling it art)."
RISCA gave Ten31 a grant that allowed students and teachers at Johnston Jr. High School to study critical analysis in the arts, which is part of the state's curriculum standards, Rosenbaum said.
The center also criticized RISCA for providing grants in the range of $4,000 to $5,000 to support the Newport Film Society and Arts Collaborative for screenings that some taxpayers would find "tasteless, offensive…"
This year's grant was $4,386, according to Rosenbaum. With the support of individual and Rhode Island businesses the Film Festival has become one of the most prominent film festivals in the United States, he said. The Rhode Island International Film Festival has been chosen as a qualifying festival for the Academy of Motion Pictures Arts & Sciences (the Oscars) short film and documentary film categories and has helped to launch the careers of countless artists, according to Rosenbaum.
He added that it's also brought business to area restaurants.

Forum post of the day: Welfare Epics {WoW}
Feb 18th 2008 5:18PM Bob, I think you misunderstand what it means to go AFK in a battleground. If you are actually flagged afk, you WILL get kicked out and given the deserter debuff that lasts like 10 or 15 mins. However, what people mean is that there are those people who are actually sitting at their computer (or botting) and making a conscious effort to not help. Those are the people that are referred to as being "AFK" in a battleground. They will not get the /afk flag because they are moving around (or standing and jumping every so often), but they are not helping the group, and are, for all intents and purposes, AFK.
Breakfast Topic: Old school world PvP {WoW}
Jan 28th 2008 8:21AM been a while, but I've been on both sides of the Southshore/Tarren Mill battle. both were fun, but I prefer being on the Horde side.
I think the decline in world pvp is the lack of honor, plain and simple. Personally, I think we should get more honor for pvp kills and more honor for killing guards. the halaa idea could have been implemented much better, had they removed the 'requirement' of bombing the guards and added things to it and made it a real city with a bank, mailbox, FP, etc.

Jan 22nd 2008 9:31AM Shift-v only works if you haven't rebound it to something else like I have. However, another temporary solution is to zoom in as far as you can and walk under the person blocking the npc. you can usually click the person while 'inside' the other player (especially if it's a mounted tauren).

Anonymous source says: Next expansion = "Into the Maelstrom" {WoW}
Aug 1st 2007 10:15AM @6
yes, i will. it would be different if all i had was one character. i took the time and got 2 to 70, 1 to 68 that i'm trying to get to 70 fairly soon. not to mention that i've been playing for over 2 years and i'm also just starting to get tired of the grind. my problem is that the entire game is based around leveling. i had this conversation with my friend who played EQ for many years. the mindset of WoW is "Get to the highest level" and then do whatever. he mentioned how in EQ, while it was a much greater grind to accomplish things, the mindset was not based around leveling.
maybe it's just an excuse to move on to something else, but i really just don't want to have to level any more in wow. i could handle it if i only had 1 character, but i can't let go of the fact that i have 3 that would be so close. i'm not some kid that has off for the summer and nothing to do all day. i have a job, friends, girlfriend, and soon to have my own house to take care of. I think i just need something new. rant over.
btw, hasnt' it been said by blizz that the level cap would have to be around 90 or so to be able to take out arthas? based on that, i'd say maelstrom would be a more likely expansion than northrend.

Cannibal Stew
The Philoctetes Center, where brainy people go for deep tissue massage and artistic nourishment, is hosting a panel this Saturday at 2:30 on the achievements, influence, and legacy of Susan Sontag: Public Intellectual, Polymath, Provocatrice. Moderated by Robert Boyers, editor of Salmagundi, the panel will feature The New Yorker's Joan Acocella, James Miller, Phillip Lopate, and our friend Roger Copeland slinging insights around faster than Derek Jeter can field his position.
I regret, however, that the organizers rejected my suggestion that the symposium be capped with a screening of Sontag's legendary "blooper reel" from Duet for Cannibals,* which consists of subtitled bloopers and fluffed line readers sure to delight fans of Tim Conway and the late Harvey Korman. They weren't in the movie, mind; it was a Swedish cast; I'm simply drawing a comparison. Oh, forget it. Just go if you're so inclined and receive edification, presumably with refreshments afterwards.
*From Manny Farber's review of Duet: "What is amazing is how little juice there is in the inventions and characters, yet this gray coagulation keeps going forward in a half-entertaining way." Sort of like the McCain campaign.

Tim Tebow will go from playing football to talking about football on TV. The outspoken Christian quarterback has been hired to offer his analysis of college games on ESPN's new SEC Network.
Even with this new job, Tebow still hopes to get back on the field. He reportedly has an agreement with the network to leave if he's offered the chance to play.
In a statement the Heisman Trophy winner says, "While I continue to pursue my dream of playing quarterback in the NFL, this is an amazing opportunity to be part of the unparalleled passion of college football and the SEC."
Tebow hasn't played in the NFL all season. He was cut by the New England Patriots back in August. In the span of just over one season, he went from a national sensation who led the Denver Broncos to the playoffs, to a backup, to out of the league.
Tebow will back his debut during ESPN's coverage of the BCS title game on January 6th.

Theron and Teague Harrison win second place, a trip to NY at city debate championship (VIDEO)
Theron and Teague Harrison, Manual High School's all-star brother-sister debate team and Westword cover siblings, are going to the Urban Debate National Championship in New York City next month. The pair snagged second place at the Denver Urban Debate League City Championship this past Saturday, losing in the finals to a razor-sharp team from Thomas Jefferson High, Danite Reda and Talan Lousignont. All four teens will compete in New York.
For more on the DUDL and debate, check out this week's feature, "Say What?"
Theron and Teague were on a winning streak until the final round, which took place in a spacious classroom at the University of Denver's Sturm College of Law as other debaters, coaches, parents, league donors and a panel of seven judges looked on.
The two teams flipped a coin to decide who would be affirmative and who would be negative. Theron and Teague debuted a tough new affirmative case at the tournament -- that the United States should pull troops out of Iraq because our invasion of the country was unjust and colonialist. But they drew negative in the coin toss. As such, they faced a similarly air-tight case from Danite and Talan -- that the U.S. should remove all private military contractors from Afghanistan and Iraq, because contractors are rogue mercenaries who don't respect the rights of civilians like U.S. soldiers do.
It was a heated debate, with both sides arguing passionately and articulately for their side. Theron and Teague offered a counter-plan to Danite and Talan's case -- that the U.S. should keep the contractors there but set up a fund to pay restitution to victims of violence. In the end, the judges voted for Danite and Talan.
But as DU law professor and DUDL co-founder Roberto Corrada said, "Nothing's really on the line here except for pride." At the last minute, the DUDL announced that it would be sending a pair of two-person teams to the national championship in New York instead of one -- meaning that both the first- and second-place teams would get to go. Theron and Teague easily won their semi-final round, earning them tickets.
Watch a video of Theron and Teague debating -- and of the big announcement about the trip to the nationals in New York. Flip the page to see a list of other award-winners.

Multi-Millionaire Seeks Asylum in Guatemala
CNN — American software mogul John McAfee, on the run from police in Belize, is in Guatemala and will seek asylum.
He's wanted for questioning in the shooting death of his neighbor in Belize.
McAfee says he had nothing to do with the killing.
"No one has blamed me for the murder. I have not been charged, I am not a suspect. They merely want to question me about the murder. I am not concerned because I have not been charged with a crime there is no basis for extradition. I like Guatemala. I think the legal system in Guatemala is superior to the legal system in Belize. Guatemala is close, it is beautiful, and most importantly I enjoy the company of Guatemalans. I like Guatemala. I have a passport, I am in no trouble with the US. I can return any time I like. I have been back to America many times since I have been in Belize. I have no interest of going (back to the States) this month or next but maybe at the beginning of the year. I can come and go freely to America any time I want," McAfee told reporters.
McAfee's attorney confirms the tech mogul is seeking asylum in Guatemala and denies McAfee had anything to do with the murder.

Dr. Tricia Nguyen named chief medical officer of Banner Health Network
Tricia Nguyen, MD, MBA, has joined Banner Health as chief medical officer of Banner Health Network (BHN), a comprehensive provider care network comprised of Banner-affiliated physicians, Banner hospitals and other Banner services. BHN provides a population health management model of care, which offers a highly coordinated patient experience through a primary care setting that seeks to improve patient outcomes, control costs and emphasize wellness.
Dr. Nguyen brings significant experience for the clinical leadership role in BHN. She has a successful track record of clinical and business accomplishments, with experience as an emergency medicine physician, a physician leader in a hospital setting and an executive leader in the health insurance industry.
She joins Banner from Blue Cross Blue Shield of Kansas City, where she was vice president, chief medical officer. In that position, Dr. Nguyen provided leadership in a number of key areas, including developing health and wellness programs, delivering clinical outcomes, and providing clinical guidance and innovation during the company's transformation to industry leadership.
"I am very excited to help lead Banner Health Network as it is launched with a focus on wellness and improving patient care outcomes through better coordination and access to patient information," Dr. Nguyen said. "It is very clear to me that changes have to occur at the point of care/service and there needs to be an alignment of incentives and system to promote synergy between physicians and patients."
A foundation of the BHN's ability to deliver highly coordinated patient care is an electronic medical records system that is utilized for every patient who receives care at a Banner hospital. Wherever a patient goes within BHN, information about care they have received is available. Dr. Nguyen has significant experience with electronic medical records, technology and data management.
"We are pleased to have someone of Tricia's caliber, with her breadth of experience, join Banner Health Network in this clinical leadership position," said John Hensing, MD, executive vice president and chief medical officer of Banner Health. "She is a great addition to the Banner leadership team."
Dr. Nguyen received a Bachelor's of Science degree from Creighton University School of Pharmacy; a Doctor of Medicine degree from the University of Missouri School of Medicine; and a Medical Management Executive MBA from the University of Texas at Dallas. She is board certified in Internal Medicine and board eligible in Pediatrics.

It maintains the heavy bassline, but adds a rich UK garage sheen over it, one that Q was known for during his stint on BBC Radio 1Xtra for six years. The original was darker in tone, but there's something about this BPM that turned this track into something that feels downright fun.
Word is that OWSLA is dropping this on March 12. The original was said to be out February 26, but we're not sure if that means it has been pushed back to March as well. If you want more from DJ Q, check out his new alias, Classified.

My husband and I are pastors who work with college students and young adults and we absolutely love it! The students are my "kids" and constantly teach me new things and keep my life interesting. I have posted many recipes here at their behest. Sometimes I think they just love me 'cause they know that can come over and get a fresh homecooked meal -a great break from their sketchy college cafeteria food!
I grew up in a beautiful, loud, fun, albeit slightly crazy, Spanish-Italian family where cooking is not just about putting food on the table -it is an art. An intense, passionate art of carefully guarded secret recipes.
So cooking is in my blood and I enjoy it immensely. I love having dinner parties just so I can whip up fancy new recipes. And the college students are always happy to be my guests!
I adore Phad Thai, Panang curry, and these little appetizers from a Seattle area Thai restaurant called Emerald Butterflies. They are similar to Crab Rangoon, but so light and delicate!
I have also been to Paris where they make creme brulee that is heaven on a spoon. You cannot beat fresh baked baguette from a Parisian bakery!
My family is Italian, and my mom makes a pizza recipe that my great-grandmother brought from Sicily! It is glorious, but sorry, I cannot post it. It is a carefully guarded family secret! I will, however, post others of her recipes. Buon appetite!
