Penguins' Letang reveals scary details of stroke
Penguins/NHL Videos
Penguins defenseman Kris Letang, still unsure if he will play again this season, shed light on the details of his stroke.
It was a scary time.
On the morning of Jan. 29, Letang's wife woke up and found him lying on the floor of the couple's bedroom. He was alert but knew something was wrong.
"I was not able to function," he said.
Letang's mother-in-law is a nurse and was at their home at the time of the incident, which stopped him from calling 911. He felt well enough later in the day to fly with the Penguins to Los Angeles.
But after a series of tests, it was determined Letang had a stroke. He said he still is having "good days and bad days" and is still dealing with fatigue.
Letang looked noticeably thinner than usual. He recently was given permission to work out, though he isn't skating and continues to take blood-thinning medication. He still isn't allowed to lift weights.
Telling his family that he had a stroke was the hardest part, Letang said.
"My family is still worried," he said. "That was the difficult part, when you see your mom crying and your wife (crying)."
Letang said he has been spending more time with his 1-year-old son and his family.
Dealing with the realization that he had a stroke at 26 has been as difficult for Letang as the physical setbacks.
"It's been, mentally, very tough," he said. "It's tough to believe. I'm in the .01 percentage. When I found out, I didn't believe it. I didn't even understand the word.
"I had to call my wife and ask her what it was. She went to school in English."
Letang confirmed he has a hole in his heart, but doctors don't believe an operation is necessary at this time. He has spoken with doctors about the possibility that his history of migraines is connected to the stroke, but his doctors remain unsure if they are related.
"I was surrounded by great doctors," Letang said. "They took great care of me. All of my questions were answered. I feel like I'm making progress."
Letang said doctors have assured him that he will be able to play hockey again at some point, taking away his fears that the stroke could have been career-threatening.
Whether he will play again this season for the Penguins remains unknown.
"They said that being 26 and having a stroke, it's such a small percentage of people," Letang said. "The chances that I get back to normal are really good.
"They kind of reassured me that I will play again."
Letang had scored 10 goals, which matches his career high, despite playing only 34 games this season. Letang signed an eight-year, $58 million extension last summer.
"Obviously, we are a much better hockey team with him," left wing Tanner Glass said. "He's special. But right now, his health is what's important."
Although he said many hurdles remain before he can be cleared to play this season, Letang, who earlier missed three weeks with an elbow infection, hasn't ruled out a return to the lineup at some point this spring.
His next big appointment with doctors is in a couple of weeks.
"Not such a good season for me," said Letang, managing a smile. "Not very lucky. Honestly, if I have the chance to come back this year, it's going to be great."

Author of the best-seller FDR, Jean Edward Smith is a master of the presidential biography. Setting his sights on Dwight D. Eisenhower, Smith delivers a rich account of Eisenhower's life using previously untapped primary sources. From the military service in WWII that launched his career to the shrewd political decisions that kept America out of wars with the Soviet Union and China, Smith reveals a man who never faltered in his dedication to serving America, whether in times of war or peace.
©2012 Jean Edward Smith (P)2012 Recorded Books, LLC
"Always engrossing . . . Smith describes a man who commanded the largest coalition army in history without grandiloquent posturing . . . leaving office more popular than any successor. . . . Smith portrays a genuinely admirable Eisenhower: smart, congenial, unpretentious, and no ideologue. Despite competing biographies from Ambrose, Perret, and D'Este, this is the best." (Publishers Weekly, starred review)
"Dwight Eisenhower, who was more cunning than he allowed his adversaries to know, understood the advantage of being underestimated. Jean Edward Smith refutes this durable misunderstanding. Smith, America's greatest living biographer, demonstrates why, now more than ever, Americans should like Ike." (George F. Will)
"Jean Smith, indubitably America's most distinguished biographer, has now produced the classic life of Dwight Eisenhower…Here he comes alive on every page—the beneficiary of the exhausting fresh research this handsomely written book is based upon. When the General died, Mamie, his lifelong wife, allowed that she never fully knew her famous husband. No reader of Smith's work will render the same complaint." (Henry F. Graff, Professor Emeritus of History, Columbia University)
somewhere in the middle.
yes. I thought it was well written, and had a fairly good pace.
He was smarter than you thought.
The only serious criticism I have is that the author keeps saying that Ike was smart, or did things in a skillful manner, but rarely explains what those things were or how Ike did it. We are told that Ike worked really hard, sometimes driving himself to exhaustion. Just what was he doing in all those long hours?
"Incredible: Detail Brings a Whole New Dimension"
Smith's research and analysis make this work a cut above other Eisenhower biographies. The basic story is the same but nuance, insight and motivation behind the facts open another dimension on what took place at the time. For example, his analysis of Nixon's "Checkers Speech" makes it like a totally different exchange. It's not just the facts that are interesting but the "why" behind the facts that brings the story to life.
The performance is superb. It's truly a pleasure to hear the foreign terms and individuals' names pronounced correctly. Bravo!
This work truly rates five stars in all categories. It is a masterpiece.
"If you lived during Eisenhower's time ...."
Yes. If you lived during Eisenhower's time, you've probably forgotten most of the story the book tells -- and it is a story well worth remembering. This book permanently puts to rest the old tale that "Eisenhower proved you don't need a President!!!!" Hearing all the things he accomplished (both in WW II and in his later presidency), you see what a marvelous man he was and how much he really accomplished. You appreciate not only the things he did, but also the things he didn't do!! In my opinion,this book is a must read (or listen to).
"I Liked Ike!"
One of the most engaging biographies I've ever encountered. Smith was fair and thorough in his treatment of Eisenhower. He presented his subject in such an authentic manner that I felt like I could almost reach out and touch the man. Excellent book.
"Magnificent History"
This is a magnificent biography that caps the scholarship of the past two decades of work on Eisenhower and his presidency, placing him firmly and convincingly in the pantheon of the top American chief executives.
Smith manages to dispell some myths about Eisenhower -- such as the false statement that he regretted his appointment of Earl Warren to be Chief Justice of the Supreme Court at the end of 1953. On the other hand, for a study of such wide scope, some errors and other myths are bound to enter in. Smith writes of the French "surrender" at Dienbienphu, a myth that has been perpetuated over time by American historians and journalists. There was no French surrender at Dienbienphu. The French positions were over run and the fighting ceased. There was no white flag, no surrender. When the French commander radioed to Hanoi that he was being overrun by the enemy, the response was:"Of course you will fight to the end. It is out of the question to run up the white flag after your heroic resistance." A Soviet film crew recreated the battle in the two days after the fall of Dienbienphu and it was widely distributed -- parts even making their way into the PBS Vietnam series. In the filmed version, the French surrender.
Yes, In fact I've listened to it twice already. The book is packed with interesting details about Ike and let's us get to know him as a human with foibles, ambition and great political instincts.
David McCullough's Truman.
Brown vs Board of Eduction
I like Ike.
It was one of the better ones.
Ike. He was a great president who is often over looked.

Card was very unique.
Vision of Love Pocket Invitations My wedding invitations are beautiful. They are extremely unique.
So amazing
Tender Tendril Foldover Pockets I just have to say I got my save the dates and my wedding invitations and they were both amazing. It was so easy to customize them online and once I ordered them they were here in no more than a week. I did need to change something after I approved them and they were able to change it for me. There is nothing that was not perfect! Highly recommend!
Excellent Wedding Invitations
Antique Filigree Square Invitations We were very happy with the quality of our wedding invites. Personalisation worked well with our colour scheme, the proofing process helped us pick up errors, it was easy to pick out the different pieces we needed (RSVP card, wishing well card). We liked the weight and the style of the card and the quality of the envelopes. Delivery was quick though and lots of communication about where our stationery was. We had to ship to a friend in the US and then on to Australia as they dont deliver to us worth the effort, happy with the end result! Only issue was the weight but we ordered 150 program fans and 125 invites and it weighed 11kg.
Absolutely Beautiful!
Hawaiian Turtle Pocket Invitations The invitations were everything my fiancé and I wanted, and more. I am incredibly pleased with every aspect of the invitation, and with how prompt delivery was. These are probably the nicest invitations for a wedding I have ever seen!
Vision of Love Foldover Pockets Trifold invitation was exactly as described. Good quality paper and very unique! I bought the trifold with two card inserts and envelope liner. I have received so many compliments! I would definitely recommend these invitations!

New SSD up, but
Hi All,
I just added an SSD to my system. I have it up a running fine, but I did notice one thing. I wiped the spinner clean, but it has a 100MB system reserved on D:. I'm just wandering if this normal and/or necessary? |
My System Specs |
10 Apr 2012 | #2 |
It won't hurt anything and yes it's normal. If you want to get rid of it the tutorial in the link below will show you how. System Reserved Partition - Delete |
My System Specs |
10 Apr 2012 | #3 |
The 100MB partition on the spinner is probably from an earlier installation on the spinner. Just to make sure that there is not a dependency on that bootmgr, disconnect the spinner and boot from the SSD. If that works, then you can delete it.
There is always the danger that a bootmgr or BCD ends up on another disk - especially in your case where the spinner is on a lower port than the SSD. If there is a dependency, the bootmgr is easy to move: Bootmgr - Move to C:\ with EasyBCD |

Crew cleared to relocate cupola to permanent home BY WILLIAM HARWOOD STORY WRITTEN FOR CBS NEWS "SPACE PLACE" & USED WITH PERMISSION Posted: February 14, 2010 The Endeavour astronauts have been cleared to move a multi-window cupola from the outboard port of the new Tranquility module to its Earth-facing hatch after engineers concluded an interference issue with a protective cover would not prevent a normal docking.
Preparing for the move, the astronauts attempted to install a protective cover over the outboard hatch's docking mechanism to protect it from low temperatures and micrometeoroid impacts after the cupola was removed. But a mechanical interference issue prevented the crew from locking the cover in place. Station commander Jeffrey Williams ultimately succeeded after removing underlying bolts, allowing the so-called "towel bar" latching mechanism to engage. But clearances were tight and engineers were unsure whether a similar cover on the nadir port could prevent the cupola's attachment. After extensive analysis, engineers concluded the tolerances were acceptable and during the morning wakeup call, the astronauts were cleared to proceed. "The good news for today is, overnight we looked at all the information you gathered for us yesterday and sent down and we became very comfortable with you doing the cupola depress and relocate today," said Shannon Lucid in mission control. "So that's our plan." "Shannon, that's fantastic news," replied astronaut Nicholas Patrick from Endeavour. "Thank you to all on the ground who worked on that so hard overnight. There are cheers from downstairs as everybody is waking up. And to all in mission control and Houston and elsewhere, happy Valentine's Day." The crew plans to depressurize the cupola starting around 6:51 p.m. EST. Terry Virts and Kay Hire, operating the station's robot arm, then will lock onto a grapple fixture on the side of the cupola just after 9 p.m. After Williams disengages the common berthing mechanism holding the cupola in place, Virts and Hire will move it to Tranquility's nadir port. The unberthing procedure is expected to begin around 10:44 p.m. If all goes well, installation on the nadir port will begin around 11:30 p.m. Engineers will be monitoring how much torque is required to drive the motorized bolts in the berthing mechanism that will lock the cupola to the nadir port. No problems are expected, but if high torque levels indicate unacceptable interference, the procedure will be aborted. In that case, the cupola likely would be returned to the outboard port pending additional analysis.

Its not even close between her and the 3 guys in my opinion

I sewed this dress in 2 different fabrics.
The first version I made in a light polyester which was very frustrating to work with. The fabric frayed very quickly and I also had trouble with the zipper.
The second version I made out of a light linen and I decided to make it one size smaller. I made an adjustment to the sewing directions and put in the zipper earlier than indicated. I was very happy with the finished result and this is the version I wore.
1) Lightweight polyester
2) Handkerchief linen

Argentina got their revenge from the World Cup final with a 4-2 win over Germany in an international friendly. Angel di Maria was a big reason for this success thanks to his incredible showing with one goal and three assists in the win.
The newest Manchester United player was simply outstanding in the friendly, as Bleacher Report UK described:
Angel Di Maria has 3 assists and a goal: http://t.co/K1SnMRKeNb #ARG fans are thinking 'what if' #MUFC 'what next' pic.twitter.com/ySboly2pvS
— Bleacher Report UK (@br_uk) September 3, 2014
Obviously, Argentina fans were upset the talented midfielder was unable to play in the World Cup final, which Germany won 1-0 in extra time. Ben Hayward of Goal.com discussed the impact he could have made:
We'll never know what would have happened, but Di María was a huge loss for Argentina in the World Cup final... #GERARG
— Ben Hayward (@bghayward) September 3, 2014
On the other hand, WhoScored.com points out the difference in this match compared to what Di Maria showed in Brazil:
Ángel Di María: Has registered 2 assists in the first half of #GERARG after picking up 0 in 5 apps at the 2014 World Cup
— WhoScored.com (@WhoScored) September 3, 2014
Regardless of what happened in the past, he was clearly at his best on Wednesday. His first assist came in the 20th minute on a pass to Sergio Aguero that might have been the most impressive play of the day:
This #DiMaria assist. We'll just leave it right here. #GERARG http://t.co/WnnK2qV39L
— KICKTV (@KICKTV) September 3, 2014
Andres Cordero of beIN Sports gave his opinion on the opening assist:
Di Maria's pass is just perfect.
— Andres Cordero (@DreCordero) September 3, 2014
Of course, the 26-year-old player was just getting started. His second assist of the day came on a cross to Erik Lamela in the 40th minute:
Here's yet another Angel Di Maria assist, this time hammered in by Erik Lamela. #ARG #GER https://t.co/HWFfLLX0BQ
— World Soccer Talk (@worldsoccertalk) September 3, 2014
After Argentina held the 2-0 halftime lead, Di Maria continued to force the action. Shortly after halftime, he helped set up a third goal on a set play in the direction of Federico Fernandez:
Angel Di Maria's third assist of the night against Germany. https://t.co/ivfiUPa1Ol (Via @FootballVines).
— Squawka Football (@Squawka) September 3, 2014
Sergi Dominguez could not help but be impressed with what the midfielder was showing in this match:
Di Maria's third assist. Brilliance oozes out of him. If only he played the World Cup final...
— Sergi Domínguez (@FutbolSergi) September 3, 2014
Still, the former Real Madrid player was not satisfied with his hat-trick of assists. He added a goal for himself in the 50th minute to go up 4-0 over the World Cup champions:
After a hatrick of assists Di Maria scored this beauty 4-1 http://t.co/eDzAi1pkP8
— Football Vines (@FootballVines) September 3, 2014
Journalist Raphael Honigstein provided his input on the score:
4-0 Di Maria. nice chip
— Raphael Honigstein (@honigstein) September 3, 2014
Meanwhile, ESPN's Max Bretos noted that this performance was certainly enough to excite Manchester United fans about the possibilities going forward:
Angel Di Maria es un animal. You watching Man Utd fans? #ARGvsGER
— Max Bretos (@mbretosESPN) September 3, 2014
On the other hand, Real Madrid could quickly realize what they were missing with the elite distributor. James Tyler of ESPN points out Cristiano Ronaldo likely wishes Di Maria was still on the pitch alongside him:
No wonder Cristiano Ronaldo was angry on Sunday. #DiMaria
— James Tyler (@JamesTylerESPN) September 3, 2014
Either way, the midfielder appears set for a big year with his new club, as Liam of The Sports Bible argues:
Di María is utterly unbelievable, what a fantastic player - he's going to tear up the Premier League this year, I can feel it.
— Liam (@OffsideLiam) September 3, 2014
He was subbed out in the 86th minute after Germany cut the lead to 4-2, but it is clear Di Maria was the best player on the pitch in a match against some of the other top players in the world.
While the Germans did not have their complete first team in the friendly, a lineup of Toni Kroos, Marco Reus, Andre Schurrle and Mario Gomez is not something to overlook. The first two scores of the match also came against Manuel Neuer, considered by many to be the top goalkeeper in the world.
Although the match itself does not count for much, Di Maria showed why he is one of the most talented players in the sport. Manchester United should be very happy with the midfielder over the next few months and beyond.

VIEWS: 110 PAGES: 2 CATEGORY: iPhone POSTED ON: 1/21/2013
The iPhone 5 was released just a few months ago and we're already speculating what the iPhone 6 will have in store for us. A lot of people think the iPhone 6 will not bring anything substantially different things with it. There are quite a few changes expected in the iPhone 6. With these changes expected in the iPhone 6, it will surely be a phone that will win the hearts of millions of iPhone fans across the world.
iPhone 6 Release Date and Features There are so many rumors floating around about the iPhone 6 despite that the iPhone 5 version just came out in September this year. A lot of questions are in the minds of Apple users about what the next version of iPhone will bring with it and what it won't. As we look at the year that has gone by, there were some great and some notsogreat moments for the iPhone. Samsung came out with its Galaxy S3 that was touted to be the best smartphone device of the year. Therefore, it is expected that Apple will work very hard to be able to come up with a device better than Galaxy in 2013. Therefore, the expectations from iPhone 6 have gone through the roof. iPhone 6 is expected to be released around the early part of 2013. There are reports floating around about that Apple might be moving to a 6month period for upgrades as compared to the existing oneyear period. So looking at this trend we might expect to see the new iPhone in March 2013. One reason for this new six month timeline as opposed to the one year period could be due to the increasing competition from companies like Samsung or Google. At the moment, there are so many competitors for the iPhone as compared to what it had when it first came out many years ago. Therefore, it has become imperative for Apple to think on its feet and come up with phones which are well ahead of the competition. Some of the expected features in the new iPhone 6 are: Improved Display: The display of iPhone 6 is going to be made of Indium Gallium Zinc Oxide, commonly known as IGZO. The reason for use of this material is to ensure that the display is lighter and brighter even. Also, due to the fact that this display will require a lesser number of LEDs, it means that the display will be more energy efficient. The display is also going to be better and more pixel heavy and will have a better battery life. Faster Processor: The new iPhone is expected to have a quad core processor unlike the current iPhone 5 model which has the duo core processor. It is said that this processor will be two times faster than the current processor. NFC Technology: The iPhone 5 was supposed to incorporate this technology but Apple somehow seemed unwilling to include this feature in the phone. Samsung Galaxy S3 already had this feature incorporated in it which made it extremely popular and make it look better than the iPhone 5. Near Field Communication is meant to make smartphones communicate with each other in an easier manner. These are typically used for making payments easy through mobiles. With these features Apple is hoping to make the iPhone 6 the best smartphone in the market. It might also be that Apple might add a new HD camera to make Facetime function better. There are also some reports which say that the iPhone 6 might come up with the new iOS 7 which is going to be faster and more secure as an operating system. Apart from these features, iPhone might be released in multiple colors to make it look livelier and in order to attract young customers.

Comments about Teamson Kids Step Stool - Little Sports Fan Collection:
The product came quickly and was easy to put together. Very cute and perfect for my 7-year-old son's room. There were 2 screw holes that did not secure tightly as I would have liked (screw just spun around after trying to tighten). It could be fixed by redrilling but with the rest of the screws in place, it was still sturdy and tight enough overall.

Located inside Sun-Rayz Tanning, Derick Steven Hair Studio offers haircuts for men, women, and kids. The savvy stylists also update tresses with partial or full highlights as well as perms. Special occasions get an extra dose of glamour after the stylists create special looks such as braided updos with buns or cascading curls.
Patients meet with cosmetic surgeon Dr. Harold E. Beam amid the contemporary décor of his office or the tranquil setting of his med spa to plan surgical and nonsurgical cosmetic procedures. Using brands such as Obagi Medical and Skinceuticals, aestheticians soften surfaces and address imperfections through facials, peels, dermaplaning, and microdermabrasion. A collection of injectables reduces signs of aging and augments facial features, helping lips reach their full capacity or eyebrows raise in the least judgmental manner.
Having practiced medicine for more than 25 years, board-certified Dr. Maria O'Brien wisely presides over the laser- and light-based cosmetic treatments at Millennium Med Cosmetics. Her gentle treatments require no anesthesia, whether she's tightening skin with infrared rays, clearing away hair with a laser, or flipping on a light switch to reveal that you're already totally hairless. Dr. O'Brien also performs Botox and Juvéderm treatments and runs medically supervised weight-loss programs.
Spa on the Green's beautifiers relax and freshen epidermises within a two-story ranch-style house filled with soft natural light, plush furniture, and the green accents of potted palms. Aestheticians coddle expression makers with a 50- to 60-minute spa facial, which rejuvenates normal, overactive, or acne-prone skin. Deep cleansing removes accumulated dirt and caked-on pie residue, and gentle exfoliation rousts out rooted impurities, leaving faces glowing and soft.
Sunny Waitze, M.D. and fellow of the American College of Surgeons, oversees Pomperaug Plastic Surgery/Ageless Medi Spa, where clients receive a variety of surgical and med-spa treatments for their skin and body. Services range from breast modifications to noninvasive skin rejuvenation intended to increase collagen and tightness.

Colleges and universities are one step closer to permitting students, staff and visitors to bring concealed firearms to campus after the Senate State Affairs Committee voted to move it forward Wednesday.
The 7-2 decision comes as proponents argue that the bill is necessary to uphold second amendment rights and allow students and staff to protect themselves.
A BSU psychology professor was among those who testified in favor of the bill, describing her terror when a former student threatened to kill her last month.
Opponents said the bill, which allows retired law enforcement and enhanced concealed carry permit holders to bring firearms to class, will be costly to implement and leaves colleges unable to guarantee the safety of those on campus.
The bill is headed to the full Senate for debate.

I just got out of a ranked where a soraka and fiora kept saying in chat to report me for refusing to communicate with team in champ select. When they say that it means me not picking alistar jungle while i wanted to riven jungle. I had first pick and the next two picks on our team, fiora and a mf had the chance to take alistar. I even told them that I was uncomfortable with jungle ali and they still kept saying to report for not communicating during the match. As the game started the fiora got ganked by who failed the first time and camped the bush waiting for the 100 health fiora who actually went back in. Then the soraka bot lane says I was to blame for them dying in a 2v2 exchange cause I didn't have alistar. After those 3 kills my team got very negative and began feeding and afking. Playing with players like this really tick me off. How do you other players go through a match dealing with people like this...
Senior Member
First, if you're worried about them actually reporting you, I'd be sure to make things clear in the chat logs. They're typing to report you for refusing to communicate during champion select. You need to put in the chat logs that they were insisting you play Jungle Alistar, but you decided to play Jungle Riven instead. If your behavior and scoreline are fine, no one will ever punish you for that in the Tribunal, not even close. As for dealing with them, well first, at champion select, I may have said "I'm not playing jungle alistar. I have a handful of other jungle champions, but I won't jungle alistar. Would you rather someone else jungle ali and me play a different role, or are you okay with me playing jungle Riven?" But that's just me. I try to cooperate with stubborn people at every possible point, and I don't mind not playing my preferred role. I mean, after that you just do your best and try not to worry too much about what your teammates are saying if they're doing nothing but being negative. If they want to continue to harp on things that are too late to change, just straight ignore what they're saying. If they think there's a better way to do something, let them explain their strategy. Sometimes they're right, and either way, if you give his idea a chance, there's a chance he'll stop being as much of a jerk for the rest of the match.

FOXNews.com - Australian Man Saves Wife From Crocodile Attack By Jumping on its Back - International News | News of the World | Middle East News | Europe News
Hmm, looks like natural selection nearly happened for this woman.DARWIN, Australia A man rescued his wife from the jaws of a crocodile in remote northern Australia by jumping on its back, police said Thursday.
The woman, 36, suffered leg and hand injuries in the attack late Wednesday in an Outback creek where the couple were swimming, Northern Territory Police spokesman David Wright said. But the 2.5-meter (8-foot) reptile released the woman and fled when the man jumped on its back. The man was not injured.
"It was real Crocodile Dundee stuff," Wright said, referring to the 1986 movie featuring an Outback hunter who can kill crocodiles with a knife.
The attack happened 160 kilometers (100 miles) southwest of Darwin, Australia's northernmost city, where the woman was taken to treat wounds that included eight teeth punctures in her thigh. The names of the couple were not released.
"The husband's very swift and diligent actions have saved the day," Royal Darwin Hospital general manager Len Notaros told reporters.
It was the fourth close call involving a crocodile this year in the Northern Territory.
Last week, police opened fire on a crocodile as it closed in on a drunken 27-year-old man who had accepted a dare to swim out to an offshore crocodile trap, and last month a crocodile nearly snatched a 27-year-old Israeli tourist from his boat on a river.
In January, a man rescued his colleague from a crocodile's jaws but accidentally shot the unlucky co-worker in the process.
As for the drunken idiot who swam out to the crocodile trap...exactly why did they shoot the crocodile, who, it seems to me, was just acting like a crocodile?

"This bread was fantastic. It was the first yeast bread that I made with my Kitchen Aid and it was so easy. It rose extra high and the texture and flavor were fantastic. The crust was soft. It stayed good in the refrigerator for almost 2 weeks.I'll definitely make this bread again, probably as a regular staple for my family."
"This were fantastic. My first time making cinnamon rolls, and they turned out great. They reheated even better the 2nd time around.They do spread - A LOT! - so take the warning to not place them too closely together seriously."
"We really enjoyed this recipe. In fact, before we were 10 minutes into the meal, my husband asked if it was difficult to make because he wanted me to make it again.I actually was a little leary about using American cheese because I typically think of Swiss cheese when I think of Chicken Cordon Bleu, but the American cheese gave it a nice tast..."
"This was the first time I've ever made a recipe using weights rather than measurements (yes, I lead a sheltered life!), and I wasn't sure at first, but the results were OUTSTANDING. I sent them to work with my husband, and his coworkers went wild for them. From now on, this will be my only chocolate chip recipe."

In recent years, an unusual spate of deadly shark attacks has gripped Australia, resulting in five deaths in 10 months. At the same time, great white sharks have begun appearing in growing numbers off the beaches of Cape Cod, Massachusetts, not far from the waters where Steven Spielberg filmed the ultimate shark fright film, Jaws. What's behind the mysterious arrival of this apex predator in an area where they've rarely been seen for hundreds of years? Are deadly encounters with tourists inevitable? To separate fact from fear, NOVA teams up with leading shark experts in Australia and the United States to discover the science behind the great white's hunting instincts. Do sharks ever target humans or is each attack a tragic case of mistaken identity? Can a deeper understanding of shark senses lead scientists to design effective deterrents and help prevent future attacks? With shark populations around the world plummeting, scientists race to unlock the secrets of these powerful creatures of the deep in their quest to save people -- and sharks.

text: yup...which one do you fits to your likings and why? i never realize that there's a Conservapedia, until last week. though there are wikipedia spin-offs and mostly are satires but Conservapedia is dead serious and some how has an agenda. so my pick wikipedia, for being semi-balance, semi-versatile, but at least honest. while Conservapedia kinda raised my eye brow.

The Da Vinci Project, The Da Vinci Project (Sony Classical). A sticker on this faux soundtrack reads, "NEWLY RECORDED MUSIC inspired by the BEST-SELLING NOVEL" -- but nowhere on the liner is the novel identified, and the disc's website is temporarily offline. Are Dan Brown's lawyers trying to quash this overt ripoff, or seize a piece of the action? That's the real mystery. -- Roberts
Fatboy Slim, The Greatest Hits: Why Try Harder? (Astralwerks). Four measly albums into it, and England's renowned big-beat revolutionary is already offering nostalgia hounds the gift of one-stop shopping? What generosity! Mostly culled from breakout album You've Come a Long Way, Baby (but including a few tasty remixes by Cornershop and Groove Armada), this fun but unnecessary collection represents one funk soul brother who's run out of ideas, money or both. -- John La Briola
M.A.N.D.Y. , Get Physical, Vol. 2 (Get Physical Music). Throw this on at a cocktail party and you'll be the most in-the-know kid on the block. Get Physical, a European dance label, has been a creative feeding pool for the neo-disco, digi-funk, electro and glitch beats that have infiltrated the American indie scene, as well as hot imports like Hot Chip. -- Terry Sawyer
Painted Saints, Company Town (Sopping Thursday). On Company Town, Paul Fonfara, a former sideman for DeVotchKa and Munly De Har He, presents ten bittersweet ballads that emphasize an undying love for the Old World. Along with Hungarian folk tunes and clarinet-blessed wedding romps, the multi-instrumentalist noodles with spaghetti Westerns and the Delta blues. Feeling forlorn but incurably romantic? Here's the booster shot. -- La Briola
Whirlwind Heat, Types of Wood (Brille). Whirlwind Heat champions the Moog, an instrument as capable of silliness as heaviness. The same goes for this oddly endearing CD. For instance, "Gene Pool Style" features thumping beats, clashing synths, quirky sound effects and informational lyrics such as "Thought about selling my testosterone/Girls have beautiful female hormones." Oh -- that type of wood. -- Roberts
Cassandra Wilson, Thunderbird (Blue Note). At its best, Cassandra Wilson's latest is a sophisticated fusion of jazz, funk, blues and pop, rife with sensual vocals and down-and-dirty grooves. At its worst, Thunderbird finds Wilson veering erroneously into traditional folk territory. Minus these miscues, though, the album is seductive and soulful, ethereal and gritty. -- Rogers

Death on Zanath is an action-packed thriller. Great plot and very good characters. In particular, I loved the main character, Kira Zo (she's shown on the cover of the book) the female soldier that battles the T'Akons. She reminded me of Lara Croft (played by Angelina Jolie) in the Tomb Raider movies. I would recommend this book to anyone that likes action, adventure, science fiction and thrillers. It's a fast read - once I started, I could not put it down. I'd love to see this novel made into a movie.

Lee writes on a topic that has survived, unfortunately, throughout all of history. One race/species dominating others, someone rebelling, beating off (sometimes) the opressor(s) after rallying support of others, and turning the situation around only to see it return at the hands of one of the "allies".
This story has good continuity of plot and subplot, great character development, lots of suspence and just enough conflict and violence to make it work. This story presents an historic recurring theme in a new time and expanded setting without being repetitive, keeping ones attention throughout. This might make an interesting movie some day....
