Olive Oil Does It Again
Posted By Worker Bee On January 23, 2008 @ 6:49 pm In Diet,Health,Nutrition,Research Analysis | 8 Comments
Those Mediterranean people have it all: a perfect climate, gorgeous beaches and terrain, incredible food, and pretty darn good health. Aren't we getting a little tired of hearing good things about them?
Yes, we know: it's the olive oil. Countless studies have analyzed the beneficial properties of the much lauded E.V.O.O., and this one is no exception. The cooperative study specifically targeted olive oil's antioxidant properties and its benefit for those with degenerative diseases.
The study was completed with the collaboration of the Institut of Nutrition and Food Technology of the Universidad de Granada and the Nutrition Team of the Hospital Virgen de las Nieves (Granada). Together with the Research Group, they have determined that consumption of olive oil rich in polyphenols (natural antioxidants) improves the lives of people suffering from oxidative stress, and is also highly beneficial for the prevention of cell aging and osteoporosis…. After analysing samples from 15 olive oil mills, researchers have demonstrated that olive oil is very rich in polyphenols. According to Professors Alberto Fernández and Antonio Segura, 'as preventive substances, polyphenols help to combat any oxidative disease associated with the degenerative process.
via Science Daily [7]
Though the resulting claim of the study probably comes as no surprise, it's a confirmation worth reading. We've been longtime admirers of the olive elixir.
In addition to its antioxidants, olive oil boasts those groovy anti-inflammatory and anti-clotting properties. In fact, a substance called oleocanthal in olive oil has the same pharmacological effects as ibuprofen and is seen as a key protective factor in lower heart disease rates in much of Southern Europe. Freshly pressed olive oil contains more of the compound, which is all the more reason to scan the travel websites for cheap tickets these days.
A note for choosing olive oil to maximize all the aforementioned goodies:
Go for the polyphenol rich virgin or extra-virgin varieties. Since fresher is clearly better, check the packaging date (usually included with better quality oils). Choose an oil that's less than a year old, and make sure to use it within a year's time. But then, why take a whole year to go through a single bottle of something so healthy and delicious?
We'd love to hear your favorite uses for olive oil (culinary, please). Drop the MDA community a line.

Henry Cosby
Henry R. "Hank" Cosby (May 12, 1928 – January 22, 2002) was an American songwriter and record producer for Motown. Born in Detroit, Michigan, Cosby worked with many of Motown's artists, from The Supremes to The Temptations, and is best known for helming many of Stevie Wonder's early hits, including "My Cherie Amour", "I Was Made to Love Her", and "Uptight (Everything's Alright)". He co-wrote and co-produced "The Tears of a Clown", a #1 hit for Smokey Robinson & the Miracles. Cosby was also a prominent member of Motown's Funk Brothers studio band, playing saxophone.
He died at age 73 in 2002 at William Beaumont Hospital in Royal Oak, Michigan, after complications from a cardiac bypass surgery.[1] His name is written on an honorary South Tower Construction beam of the hospital.
In 2006, Cosby was inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame.

Looks cool...
Move over, Rain Tail—there's a new ultraminimal rear fender in town. The Plume is a recoiling mudguard that is deployed by unrolling the coiled strip of stainless steel and 'retracted' with a simple flick. The hardware slides neatly onto a bicycle seatpost and it looks something like a sideways cupholder when not in use, functioning something like a reverse slap-bracelet.
Note: Animated GIF for purposes of illustration only
Founders Dan McMahon and Patrick Laing met three years ago in London and have been developing the Plume for about as long. Now that they've filed a patent on the recoiling design, they're pleased to present their creation to the public via Kickstarter.
It's certainly a clever solution to a common problem, and the Kickstarter page duly features a couple examples of what Sparse deemed to be "bike hacks," i.e. variations on DIY mudguards. The main advantage of these ad hoc fabrications is that they're inherently disposable; the tradeoff is that they're ugly as sin.
The Plume is a far more elegant way to stay dry, at least as a light-duty solution: I've found that seatpost- or saddle-mounted (in the case of the Rain Tail) mudguards are useful for moderately inclement weather conditions; for anything more than a steady drizzle, not so much. Thus, the Plume is best suited for those who care about preserving the clean lines of our beloved machines; those who'd rather preserve their own bodies are and always will be better off with full fenders.

As far as donks that reinforce cultural stereotypes, we've already had the KFC donk and the Kool-Aid donk. This comes close to completing a sad and unfortunate trifecta. The only way to complete it is with a Colt 45 donk.

Re:Hamas Is 100 Percent of the Problem (868 comments)
How do you distinguish a "terror tunnel" from the many tunnels used to smuggle food, clothing, potable water, and basic construction materials?
Actually, it's pretty easy: those for bringing in goods end up in Egypt, the terror tunnels end up in Israel. Also, stashes of arms being stored in the tunnels may provide a hint as to their purpose...
Re:Hamas Is 100 Percent of the Problem (868 comments)
and those tunnels it built were actually the main way to get food and supplies into Gaza due to Israels blockade on imports
Oops, imagine their surprise when they found out their tunnels (aimed at "getting food") ended up in Israel! Do you think they were planning to go to the nearest Israeli supermarket and buy some food to take home?

Off the top of my hand, a Git feature for which I don't know a Mercurial equivalent -- git-cherry-pick. Want to rewrite history a bit? Create a new branch from sometime before the commits you want to change, then cherry-pick (point-and-click simple in gitk) the commits you want, in the order you want, ignoring the ones you don't. When you're ready, clobber master with your new branch.
I mean, quilt (hg mq) is cool and all, but how easy is it to rewrite history if you weren't in a quilt to begin with?
hg qimport has a '-r' option which allows you to "place existing revisions under mq control" (from hg help qimport)
Re:One state solution (644 comments)
> Why is evacuation of Israeli colonies in the West Bank unrealistic? Israel evacuated their colonies in Gaza,
Because what Israel got in return for its withdrawal from Gaza is that the evacuated area (the entire Gaza strip) was used as a base for increased terrorism against it; because through the border between Egypt and Gaza, from which Israel also withdrew, hundreds of rockets were smuggled into Gaza and then fired at Israeli cities; because after having gradually withdrawn much of its military from the West Bank after the Oslo accords in the 1990s, Israel was finally forced to return its military there in order to halt rampant Palestinian terrorism which resulted in 1000 Israeli *civilian* deaths, in Israeli cities, after September 2000.
So now tell me, if *you* were Israeli, would you support the withdrawal from more area?

Residence Antilia is designed as the largest and tallest "living wall" in the world — a seamless, vertical garden that encompasses all walls of the building climbing to the 40th floor. A modern day Hanging Gardens with a revolutionary design that stretches the boundaries of architecture and engineering, and questions traditional skyscraper design.
The building's height is significant. At 173m, it will be one of the tallest buildings in Mumbai. Although it only has only 27 floors, due to the non-standard design of the building, using the Indian construction standard of about 3.5m/floor, it will have the virtual height of a 50 storey tower, and will reach toward the nearby Imperial Twin Towers in height.
The tower will have 6 floors of parking; several floors of just gardens; a couple "entertainment" floors including a massive theater; 2 floors of guest apartments, and various floors dedicated to the kitchen, laundry and other services. Reliance Corporate offices will be in the bottom floors and the private Ambani family residence will make up the topmost several floors. A helipad is designed on top, but there is mixed reports on whether this feature has been actually approved by the authorities.

About Me Clean Shaven
Best Uses
Comments about Shaveworks Pearl Souffle Luxurious Shave Cream:
I love this shave cream, use it every day! I use it for wet shaving in the shower, and with continued use have seen the hair regrowth diminish and become finer. It has a nice fresh scent and a rich creamy texture, and I often mix it with a bit of my shower gel to add that scent and make the shaving cream more like a lotion (and make it go a little farther) -it's a little pricey, but worth it. My only complaint is the packaging...the caps keep cracking and it's a bit challenging to get the last few uses out of the tube.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

2009 Victoria's Secret Fashion Show Unveiled: Anja Rubik, Chanel Iman, and Anna Jagodzinska Work It
2009 Victoria's Secret Fashion Show Unveiled: Anja Rubik, Chanel Iman, and Anna Jagodzinska Work It
>> Abbey Lee Kershaw wasn't feeling well backstage, neither was Eniko Mihalik, but they pulled it together to walk in the 2009 Victoria's Secret Fashion Show, which taped today in New York City — on a big, sparkly V-shaped runway — and will air on CBS Dec. 1. Many of the girls chatted about what they had for breakfast — coffee and fruit for many — but Anja Rubik, who was convinced to walk the show for the first time by good friends (and fellow walkers) Mayna Linchuk and Caroline Trentini, admitted: "I've decided this will be my starving day today."
This year's big surprise? Heidi Klum decided to walk for the twelfth show in a row, after all, six weeks after giving birth to her fourth child. Adriana Lima, on the other hand, who gave birth Sunday, sat this one out; Emanuela de Paula and Flavia Oliveira, rumored to walk, were also nowhere to be seen.
The show features five sections of twelve outfits each — this year's themes are Star Trooper, All Aboard, Pink Planet, Enchanted Forest, and Romantic Journey. As show stylist Charlotte Stockdale explains it: "We came up with the idea of this girl who lands from outer space in Paris. She gets on a train that comes to a halt in Pinkland, where pink girls get on and off. Then they go into this fairy-tale forest and little lady bugs and butterflies land on them and vines grow up on their clothes. Then, there's Tick-Tock Time; the wings in this section are based on clocks — there's one modeled after a pocket watch with metallic feathers. And she ends up in this regal realm of princess-ness, where the wings have Swarovski jewels and peacock feathers."
Zac Posen, Alexander Wang, Carine Roitfeld (in Tom Ford for Yves Saint Laurent Fall 2002), and Patrick Demarchelier were all in attendance, and Chanel Iman tossed her handbag into the audience as she walked.

TEVAR is a less invasive surgery that uses a stent to repair a portion of the aorta, the main blood vessel that carries blood from your heart to your vital organs. This surgery is used to treat an aortic aneurysm, or enlargement of the aorta in the descending thoracic (chest) and abdominal (belly) areas. TEVAR is also called endovascular stent-grafting or endovascular aortic surgery.
Some patients may be eligible for this less invasive treatment, while others will be better candidates for traditional open surgery.
In this operation, small incisions are made in the groin, and catheters are inserted in the leg arteries. Using live X-rays, a man-made (synthetic) tube, or graft is placed inside the aorta's enlargement (aneurysm) or dissection. This graft is composed of thin material covering a flexible frame, or stent, and seals off the portion of the aorta.
TEVAR can also be used in combination or "hybrid" operations, where standard surgical replacement is performed for part of the aorta, and then a stent-graft is used for the remainder.
Recovery after TEVAR is usually more rapid than after traditional open-chest aortic repair. In general, patients that undergo TEVAR recover smoothly and are able to leave the hospital within a few days. Close follow-up with the Aortic Center and additional scans are necessary over the next several months.
TEVAR surgeries are performed in one of two places: the cardiovascular operating room (also called the CV OR) or in the interventional radiology suite. These procedures are done by a combined team of physicians including a cardiothoracic surgeon, a vascular surgeon and an interventional radiologist.
If you have questions please call us: (801) 507-4223 or 1-800-507-4223.
The Center for Aortic Disease focuses on the care of patients with aortic aneurysm and dissection using the most advanced surgeries and less invasive repairs.

Match Preview
Grant wants hard-nosed Hammers Avram Grant has warned West Ham may have to start getting nasty with referees if they continue to pay the price for being a soft touch. The Hammers have been on the wrong end of a string of bad decisions so far this season, the most recent being a disallowed Frederic Picquionne goal that cost them victory at Wolves last weekend. Grant is convinced that teams who are "aggressive" towards match officials end up earning an advantage. And he admitted the bottom-of-the-table Hammers will have to consider a Jekyll and Hyde personality switch if things do not start improving soon. "Everybody needs to be aware that teams who don't behave sportingly and always go to the referee have an advantage over teams that behave nicely," Grant said. "Last week it cost us two points and because there are so many decisions against us I start to think that because we are nice the other team has an advantage. "I don't want to think it is because my players behave well and they don't jump on the referees and we on the bench are very sporting - but it is affecting us. "It is not in my way to say 'Scott Parker, next time slide-tackle the referee' - but I will think about this if I see it continue. "I still believe if we continue to play the football we have played in the last weeks we will have enough points not to these things. "If it happens again in the next game, I think we need to think about this. I don't have a solution at the moment." West Ham are unbeaten in the five games Manuel da Costa has played this season and the Portuguese defender is available despite being on police bail. Matthew Upson is set to come straight back into the team after recovering from a neck injury, while Pablo Barrera and Valon Behrami are both pressing for inclusion. Carlton Cole is once again set for a place on the bench but Grant insisted he had not lost faith in his England striker. "There is no doubt he has quality and will be good for us," said Grant. "We want to keep him. If you want to build something it is good to bring players in who will improve the team but when you have a good player it is not a good idea to sell him." Fabricio Coloccini will once again provide the backbone to the Newcastle team as the Magpies attempt to secure a first victory in four Premier League games to ease themselves back up the table. Kevin Nolan will return to the squad after being rested last weekend, while full-back Danny Simpson will hope to make his first senior appearance of the season after getting a third reserve team game under his belt this week following his recovery from an ankle injury. Simpson could be drafted in at right-back with summer signing James Perch finding life tough in the Premier League, especially last Saturday when he was taught a lesson by Wigan's flying Frenchman Charles N'Zogbia. Newcastle have collected eight points from as many games to date and lie uncomfortably close to the foot of the table, but boss Chris Hughton is convinced they will get stronger as the campaign goes on. He said: "We are a club that is just back into the Premier League and we are learning with every game. "We have got players who are adjusting to this division and learning with every game, so I don't want to look at too many negatives. There are plenty of positives to look at. "Whichever games we go into, they are all big games. We play at West Ham on Saturday, we have Arsenal [in the Carling Cup] on the Wednesday and then of course the big derby game [against Sunderland] on the Sunday. "They are all big games in this division and we have just got to make sure we go about our business the best way we can in all of them."

Carroll sings the right tune Andy Carroll ignored personal turmoil to fire Newcastle to a vital three points against relegation rivals West Ham at Upton Park, with his side running out 2-1 winners. The powerful Magpies striker's place in the team was in doubt after a week which had seen him answer charges of assault and have his car torched while on bail. But the England hopeful ensured that he ended the week on a high as he pounced to power a header past Robert Green after Kevin Nolan had cancelled out Carlton Cole's first goal of the season. The result catapults the Magpies nine places up the Barclays Premier League table up to ninth, while Avram Grant's team remain rooted to the foot of the table. The early signs had looked good for the home side. Captain Matthew Upson returned to the starting XI along with Valon Behrami, who had been out for a month with a knee injury. Cole also showed some early encouraging glimpses as he made his first start for over a month. The home side could have been ahead inside four minutes had Danny Simpson not cut out Frederic Piquionne's dangerous low cross which was intended for Victor Obinna at the back post. Cole then played a clever one-two with Obinna inside the box but he dithered on the ball, allowing Fabricio Coloccini to clear. West Ham dominated possession early on, pressuring the visitors down the flanks through Obinna and Piquionne. And they had their reward in the 12th minute when Piquionne latched on to Mark Noble's brilliant through-ball before squaring from the left for Cole, who tapped in from five yards. The Magpies appealed for offside but the linesman did not flag and replays suggested he made the right decision. The visitors hit back 10 minutes later when they levelled through Nolan. Carroll, whose physical presence had troubled Upson early on, outjumped his two markers to nod Joey Barton's cross to Nolan who smashed the ball past Robert Green in front of the travelling fans. Carroll was bailed to live with club captain Nolan on Monday after appearing in court charged with assaulting an ex-girlfriend, and the team-mates embraced after the strike. Newcastle manager Chris Hughton remained on the sidelines for the majority of the first period as his side started to assert more control on the game, but it was West Ham who had the next big chance. Obinna raced down the left before shaking off two markers to fire a dangerous low ball across the box but no-one could find a touch. Newcastle goalkeeper Tim Krul did well to hold on to a high Noble cross with Piquionne lurking at the back post as West Ham looked to snatch the lead just before the break. Newcastle laid siege to West Ham's goal with a flurry of late attacking play but the home side held on to go in 1-1 at the break. Newcastle had the first chance of the second period when Nolan cushioned Barton's cross into the path of Carroll who paused before volleying at Green. Herita Ilunga, who had been out for six weeks with a leg injury, then replaced Upson who was left shaken by an aerial challenge with Carroll. The visitors were starting to dominate thanks to some impressive attacking ball retention and smart play down the left through Jonas Gutierrez. The Argentina midfielder launched a clever ball over the top, but as Shola Ameobi raced through he was harshly adjudged to have fouled Hammers centre-back Danny Gabbidon. Gutierrez then played in Carroll only to see Gabbidon snatch the ball with a sliding tackle inside the box. Da Costa was taken aside for a word with referee Chris Foy after clattering into Ameobi but did not receive a booking. Benni McCarthy then replaced Piquionne, who had picked up an injury. The second Newcastle goal arrived when Barton whipped a cross from the right into the box to find the unmarked Carroll, and he powered a header past Green to put the Magpies ahead with little over 20 minutes left. It was his fifth goal of the season. West Ham pushed for an equaliser but almost paid the price for over-committing when Barton broke and fired a deflected 25-yard shot which looped on to the roof of Green's net. Grant looked to increase his attacking options by replacing Behrami with Mexico winger Pablo Barrera but Newcastle continued to dominate. Jose Enrique rushed at the West Ham defence but Lars Jacobsen stepped in to deflect his shot over the bar. Ameobi saw a deflected effort drift just wide with Green rooted to his line with 10 minutes left. The Hammers fans started leaving in their droves as the match neared its end, and those who stayed booed the home team off after Foy blew the full-time whistle.

IRVING, Texas-Increased sales, improved gross margin and a significant reduction in interest expense bolstered Michaels' bottom line in its fiscal third quarter ending on Nov. 2.
Net income for the arts and craft specialty retailer totaled $58 million, up 65.7 percent as net sales gained 10.3 percent to finish the quarter at $1.1 billion. The sales pickup included a 7.9 percent increase in same-store sales.
Gross margin was up 88 basis points to 40.5 percent. Interest expense was slimmed by 25 percent. Selling, general and administrative expenses somewhat offset these positives by increasing 11.6 percent in dollars and 32 basis points as a percentage of sales, to 27.6 percent.
During the quarter, the company opened 19 Michaels stores, relocated six and closed one. At the end of the quarter, it operated 33 net new Michaels and Aaron Brothers stores. Its store count now totals 1,259 stores, including 1,137 Michaels stores and 122 Aaron Brothers stores.

The back of the book promised that no Java programming experience was necessary. However, this book jumps right into the main concepts of the Java language with very little explanation. I didn't make it passed the 4th hour.

This salad was wonderful. I had all of the fresh herbs in my herb garden except the tarragon. I used equal amounts of each herb. It was light and very flavorful. A terrific summer salad to accompany anything or have just by itself. Can't wait to make it for friends and family!
This is a great tomato and cucumber salad. Everyone in my family liked at and asked that we have it again. The only problem that we had is that the dill overpowered the other herbs- so need to watch amount.

This article gives an overview of the stages of microwave digestion and offers important system selection criteria. When choosing an instrument to carry out microwave digestion, one needs to consider the level of throughput required; sample matrix range; power output, pressure, and temperature; capacity of vessels and number of samples per run; programmability; reporting methods; and safety features, among other things. A more recent development in the area of microwave digestion is automation, which is particularly useful for high-volume labs.

I spend a period in which I feel easily touched emotionally. By arts I watch or listen, by events of life . Even the most trivial ones. It's like swimming naked in a cloud of jellyfish constantly with closed eyes. Luckily, I always seem to have the chance of being well surrounded. Koi fishes are a symbol for love and friendship.
Technically, I'm spending a lot of personal time into experimentations. Sketch, brushes, workflow. It's hard to forge a flow to make my art to be more in sync with my emotions and taste.

Website was easy to use and had all the information needed
Transfer from the Airport to Pas de la Casa was very good. The driver was really nice and friendly. The only negative is that we were not dropped to our hotel.
Our return transfer was Poor! The driver kept looking like he was falling asleep and at one stage I had to almost grab the stirring wheel as he I thought he was asleep. He insisted it was the wind, but it was not as it was not affecting any other cars and there was not much wind at all. This left for a very stressful morning as our transfer was at 5.10 am. As the driver had little to no English it was hard to no what he was saying which left us all unconfortable as we could not talk to him to try keep him awake.
