Oral Manifestations |
Question | Discussion | References | CME Credit Case 1: Oral CandidiasisYou answered:
This answer is correct. Oral candidiasis in HIV-infected patients most often presents as either pseudomembranous candidiasis (thrush) or atrophic (erythematous) candidiasis; some patients will present with a combination of the two types. This patient's clinical presentation and examination is most consistent with the erythematous form of candidiasis. Patients with erythematous candidiasis typically have alterations in taste sensation and they frequently complain of a burning discomfort that is most evident when eating acidic or spicy foods. Oral fluconazole is an appropriate and common therapy used to treat oral candidiasis in HIV-infected patients.

We developed the Genomic Regions Enrichment of Annotations Tool (GREAT) to analyze the functional significance of cis-regulatory regions identified by localized measurements of DNA binding events across an entire genome. Whereas previous methods took into account only binding proximal to genes, GREAT is able to properly incorporate distal binding sites and control for false positives using a binomial test over the input genomic regions. GREAT incorporates annotations from 20 ontologies and is available as a web application. Applying GREAT to data sets from chromatin immunoprecipitation coupled with massively parallel sequencing (ChIP-seq) of multiple transcription-associated factors, including SRF, NRSF, GABP, Stat3 and p300 in different developmental contexts, we recover many functions of these factors that are missed by existing gene-based tools, and we generate testable hypotheses. The utility of GREAT is not limited to ChIP-seq, as it could also be applied to open chromatin, localized epigenomic markers and similar functional data sets, as well as comparative genomics sets.

Bed rest may sound like a dream (no work, no chores, no problem!), but it can often be a nightmare. Here's a look at some of the challenges that you, your partner, and your children (if you already have them) will face, plus strategies to help you cope.
For your spouse. If you're on strict or modified bed rest, your partner will be responsible for all the household chores, plus keeping you happy (meaning not going insane from boredom) and well-fed. He will also become your link to the outside world and probably the main target of your hormonally enhanced mood swings. Bed rest will also mean that intercourse is off-limits for the remainder of your pregnancy (though there are other ways to share intimacy …and fun!). Try to be gentle and patient with each other. You are both under a lot of strain, and it will be easier if you work as a team. Even though he's not the one confined to the bed, bed rest won't be easy for him either (though he can always walk out the door when he needs to blow off steam — something you, unfortunately, can't do). Encourage him to go out with his friends occasionally. And try to make sure that he has a support system in place. If you can afford it, this might be a great time to pay someone for housekeeping help, which will take a bit of the double-duty pressure off your spouse.
For your children. Bed rest will be hardest if you already have children, especially little ones. (Not that it will be a piece of cake for older kids, but at least they will be able to understand why Mom has turned into a very large couch potato.) If you have a toddler, do your best to maintain his or her usual routine (though someone else will probably have to do the bulk of that work). Keep a selection of toys at your side, and try to treat your time together as a special one-on-one opportunity to read books, do puzzles, and play together. If at all possible, have someone else take your toddler for a nice runaround outside every day: Burning off some of that energy may facilitate quieter playtime with you. Have someone childproof the rest of the house as thoroughly as possible to maximize safety in case your toddler runs out of your sight line. You may need to arrange for childcare, and again, your partner will need to pick up a lot of the slack (and the toys!).
For you. Of course, there's another person that bed rest is going to be very difficult for: you. Your job is to lie around and gestate, and the trick is to do this without going crazy with boredom and anxiety. A recent study showed that bed rest can lead to depression (and that the depression sometimes hangs around after the baby arrives). Be aware of the signs: unshakable feelings of sadness; loss of appetite; major mood swings. (Note: Any pregnant woman may experience each of these symptoms at various times. But speak to your practitioner if these symptoms are very intense.) If you are vigilant about taking care of yourself, you can avoid that pitfall. Here, some things you can do to save your sanity:
- Reach out. Keep the phone by your side, and let family and friends know they need to be available for conversations. Having someone to listen to you vent (or whine or worry or giggle) can really help. Stay connected with your friends and family through e-mail and Facebook as well. And don't forget to check in with your favorite WTE group. You might meet other moms-to-be in the exact same shoes (or slippers).
- Be prepared. Anticipate what you're going to need each day, and ask your partner to gather it together for you before he leaves in the morning. Stock a mini-fridge or cooler with lots of water, fruit, yogurt, cheese, and sandwiches. Be sure the phone, magazines, books, and TV remote are all within arm's reach.
- Structure the day. Try to establish a routine — even if the highlight is a soak in a tepid tub followed by a nap, or a morning on the couch followed by an afternoon in bed. You'll feel a little better if you give the day some sort of structure. (And it's perfectly okay if your routine involves multiple viewings of A Baby Story on cable.)
- Work from home. If you're on modified bed rest and work in a fully "wired" field, it may be possible to work from home for all or part of the time you are on bed rest. Between conference calls and e-mails, you can be very productive as a gestating telecommuter. Speak to both your practitioner and your supervisor to be sure everyone is on the same page about what your capabilities and your limits are.
- Surf the web. Use this time to shop and prepare for your baby on the Web. Register for your layette online, do your grocery shopping, order your crib, or find your future doula, lactation consultant, and babysitter. You'll have a lot less time for this kind of thing once the baby is born.
- Watch movies. Rent videos or DVDs (because once baby makes three — or more — there won't be much time in your schedule for movies). A DVD-by-mail service like Netflix can really come in handy.
- Get crafty. Teach yourself to knit, crochet, or quilt. Better yet, have a talented pal come over and teach you. You'll be creating sweet treasures for your little one and getting some much-needed companionship too.
- Get organized. Put all those old photos into an album, or enter your address book into a computer database. You'll be so happy when you can print out those address labels instead of hand writing them when it's time to send out birth announcements (and thank-you notes, and holiday cards, and party invitations…).
- Sit pretty. Do the things that make you feel good each day. Brush your hair, put on makeup, slather your tummy in yummy-smelling lotion. You can also look into having your hairstylist or manicurist make a house call. (Drop the hint to your friends that this would make a great shower gift.)
- Freshen up. Have your partner change the bed linens once a week. Keep baby wipes and hand sanitizer nearby to keep yourself clean between showers and baths.
- Start a journal. Now's a wonderful time to begin recording your thoughts or writing a few letters to your baby that he or she can share with you in years to come. Check out the new What to Expect Pregnancy Organizer and Journal, which provides a great way to preserve pregnancy moments.
- Keep your eyes on the prize. Frame one of your ultrasound pictures and know that you are simply starting the parenting process a little earlier than most, doing what's best for your child even if it's a hardship for you. Remind yourself that every day you stay in bed is one more day your baby (or babies) stay inside you, giving him or her (or them) the best chance at being born healthy and strong.

If you want the best views available in Germany look no further than the incredibly beautiful town of Dresden. This lovely German town is home to one of the most unique attraction in all of Germany which is called the Bergschwebebahn. This Bergschwebebahn is a railway with a train that hangs from the track, or hanging mountain railway. This beautifully build line was originally built in the year 1901; however it may be old it is still running as well as it was upon completion in 1901.
The distance it travels is two hundred and seventy four metres, with a height of eighty four metres. This remarkable area is covered in a mere three minutes. Making the trip to the city to get to travel by this train is well worth the trip. It is sure to be a unique experience and one you will be telling all your friends back home.

The chowder is ersatz, despite the name! It is a hot creamy sauce with little pieces of clam thrown in. No clam taste! Not cooked with clams! So much so that it made me wonder if the clams were canned - all uniform and small pieces and tasteless. A decent (expensive) seafood restaurant but not special.
Posted by Ronnid on 01/10/2014
A chowder house should make good chowder- right? Have had better from a can....Both clam chowders were watered down and under seasoned with nothing much in them. The New England- had such a strong pork/bacon there was no taste of clams at all- and we only saw one clam in the cup....the Manhattan tasted like Campbells canned veg soup- again no clams- The mushroom /leek was yummy- but that did not save the meal. The crab cake- was mostly bread crumbs and deep fried- I just drowned it in the sauce that tasted jarred- The green beans were split open like the ones you get frozen in a bag- overcooked and limp The french fries were good- For $350- I would expect something to be worth eating. The atmosphere was nice- the waiter was strange- the drinks were light- You can get equally good fries at McDonalds- save your money- go someplace else
Posted by Fran Walters on 05/26/2013
I stopped in for a quick meal. Ordered the mushroom chowders and warm beet salad. Both dishes were fine, but your wait staff disappeared.....not a good impression.

I wasn't to sure about this place because of the other reviews. This place is amazing. The hostess greet you and make you feel comfortable. They ask you about your day while walking you to your table, I mean how many restaurants really care about your day. But anyways the wait staff is amazing, Management is very accommodating and very funny. What restaurant do you go to in NYC and actually lay eyes on the Manager ? Food is amazing very detailed, cooked well. I recommend the surf and turf, The lobster roll not to much mayo buttery it's just right this place is A M A Z I N G. I come here often and it is worth every penny. People will always have something negative to say don't believe it till you have witnessed it your self. Go and visit this place I LOVE IT.

I had mixed feelings going into this place because of some of these reviews, but my family and I had an amazing time. The food is excellent and staff very nice. Service was attentive and they made us feel at home. Will absolutely go back! The fluke is delicious
Posted by SS on 06/08/2012
I am surprised by some of the negative comments here. We dined here two days ago for lunch after a NY Phil rehearsal. Food was wonderful, wait staff so helpful, and the ambiance was great. Lobster roll was perfect! Will definitely go back!
Posted by Rob360 on 05/27/2012
After they seated us it took 20 minutes for our waitress to take our order! She had such an attitude it was crazy. The food was great, but it was impossible to flag anyone down to get extra butter, water etc. and of course our waitress was never to be seen until it came time to pay. Will not be going back due to the service.

College Student Spends Volunteer Vacation on Maine Campaign
August 31, 2012 by Guest contributor
Matt McTighe is the campaign manager for Mainers United for Marriage, the campaign working to win marriage equality in Maine.
We're just a few hours away from Labor Day weekend, but vacation season is just heating up in Maine.
People are heading to Maine from across the country for a "Volunteer Vacation." These volunteers generously donate their time to work side-by-side with experienced campaign staff to make sure we win November. They're pounding the pavement to help win same-sex marriage - but with the backdrop of Maine's natural beauty. What could be better?
Meet Trevor Powell, a 23-year-old native of New Jersey who signed on as a Volunteer Vacationer in mid-August. Powell is no stranger to this work - he did phone banking for the 2009 campaign for marriage in Maine, worked on a marriage bill in N.J. and is active in the LGBT community as a student at Temple University.
"Traveling around to different campaigns has really inspired me to use my vacation time advocating for marriage," said Powell. "I've seen people travel all around the country working on marriage initiatives. They inspire me to travel as well."
He hopes to come back in the nine days leading up to Election Day - if his professors will let him out of class.
There are fewer than 10 weeks left before voters head to the polls. Sign on as a Volunteer Vacationer today!
No matter where you live, you can make a difference in Maine. HRC has set up a special fund – HRC Maine Families PAC – to direct 100 percent of your contribution to help win marriage equality in Maine. Together, we can mobilize the majority of Mainers who support marriage equality and win at the ballot this November.

Watch: Trent Reznor Slags Prince and Weezer, Tears Up
In a candid new video interview, Nine Inch Nails' Trent Reznor disses Weezer and Prince, discusses his possible collaboration with TV On the Radio's Dave Sitek, and is moved to tears when detailing NIN's future.
The fan-conducted Q&A was spurred by Reznor's recent interview with Digg.com, which, he noticed via a plethora of online comments, many of his fans were unsatisfied with. So Reznor opened up to fans on Echoingthesound.org and official site NIN.com, and agreed to do a web cam interview with questions of their choosing.
The taped discussion starts out with an awkward online date vibe -- the interviewer nervously confessing it's his "first time" and Reznor issuing a disclaimer about being in a "weird hotel room in Florida." But things quickly get intimate, with Reznor explaining his decision to make the band's current tour its last (having reached the 20 years in the biz mark) -- which makes the NIN man tear up.
"For my own mental health I need to put more effort into being stationary and really trying to make Nine Inch Nails a precious thing. Nine Inch Nails is not done putting out music of some sort but we are done touring," he said. "I'm trying not to become a parody of myself...I need to keep it cool. I watch my peers spin off into doing stupid shit to try to desperately stay relevant and cash in, regardless of what you think of Nine Inch Nails...I knew when to say no."
Later, he reveals that he's been talking to TV On the Radio's Dave Sitek about a collaboration -- explaining that he'd like Sitek to have complete control of production, while he acts as "the submissive generator of ideas."
But Reznor hasn't lost all of his bark and bite. He took time to talk smack about former label Interscope, as well as confess to a desire to "torment" fans by withholding tasty NIN details: "I'm trying to fuck all of you," he joked.
And he also panned Prince and Weezer.
"I'm not Prince or Rivers Cuomo who brags about having hundreds of great songs," Reznor said. "And to that I would say, Prince, if you have a hundred great songs or a thousand, how about picking a few and putting them on your record because your last several have sucked. Same for you, Rivers. I say that constructively, you know. I might be happy and engaged, but I can still be a prick. "

Fun. That's why we're here, playing games, isn't it? FlowerFall is a simple, fun concept with a surprising amount of strategy!
About this project
Stretch Rewards and Specials:
Earlybird special: For the first two days of the KickStarter campaign, the special Earlybird level will be available! Just $12 for a copy of FlowerFall.
[Stretch Reward 1: $4000] Free Win, Lose, or Banana in every FlowerFall!
[Stretch Reward 2: $5500] Terrain Cards!
[Stretch Reward 3: $7500] KS Backer Exclusive! Carl's flower photograph on the back of a terrain card.
FlowerFall: Light and Awesome
BGG Listing: http://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/125315/flowerfall
Sometimes a simple idea is a great idea. That is the story of FlowerFall. A couple months ago, Carl Chudyk (designer of Innovation and Glory to Rome) proposed to me a seemingly innocuous random game about dropping cards with flowers onto the table. I thought it was silly, but I gave it a shot, and within two weeks I was printing up 100 copies to bring to Origins on cardstock. Everyone loved it! And so here we are, prepping for a larger print run with, you know real production quality. Backing our project lets us print more awesome games!
So, if you'd like to join us in helping fund our print run, we'd be happy to have you on board! KS backers will be the first to get copies of FlowerFall, and US shipping is free! And we have some shiny stretch rewards planned. Assuming things go well we'll get to all thirty seven of them!
Art and Card Design
The art on the cards you see (and the current cover art) is from our quick-printing of the game. Rest assured, we're making up some nicer looking art! Pictures will be available soon.
You may have noticed that many parts of this KickStarter campaign imply heavily that a zombie apocalypse is imminent. That is because you are observant. Good job!
International Shipping
International shipping is $3 to Canada, $7 to anywhere else in the world for the base level (one game). For any other levels, please double ($6 Canada, $14 elsewhere) the amount added to your pledge!
12 cards in each of 7 different colors, several starting terrain postcard-sized cards and a free copy of Win, Lose, or Banana if we get to Stretch Reward 1!
Pledge $1 or more
2 backers
SHIPPING: Free to US, please add $3 to your pledge to Canada, and add $7 to your pledge for anywhere else. Except Antarctica, +$8. Sorry, Penguins.
Estimated delivery: -
Pledge $12 or more
184 backers All gone!
The early FlowerFall backer gets the worm! And by worm we mean a deal. And by a deal we mean bananas. Or that you get the basic reward for cheaper. One of those. (Yes, it's one copy of the game)
Estimated delivery: -
Pledge $15 or more
97 backers
A gold-encrusted copy of FlowerFall! The gold is invisible, due to regulations. But your game is thankfully not! Invisible FlowerFall would be hard.
Estimated delivery: -
Pledge $48 or more
13 backers Limited (87 left of 100)
A four-pack of FlowerFall. The perfect gift for the holiday season, assuming that zombies enjoy flowers. Did I mention the coming zombie apocalypse? As a bonus, a signed print of art from our artist.
Estimated delivery: -
Pledge $111 or more
9 backers Limited (11 left of 20)
A case of 12 FlowerFalls. And our undying gratitude and confusion for why you wanted so many! As a bonus, a signed photo of Cat on the Internet, and four signed prints from our artist.
Estimated delivery: -
Pledge $124 or more
1 backer All gone!
Naming rights for the 2012 FlowerFall Cup. Yes, you can be like Lord Stanley for a year. Except more prestigious! Name must be non-offensive, and potentially awesome. (Also, everything in the 12-pack level)

On March 20th 2013, Prime Focus World N.V. gained equity investment from AID Partners (a private equity firm focused on expansion capital and buyout opportunities specifically in the media and entertainment sector). Investing USD 10 million, this venture has contributed significant value to Prime Focus Limited as a whole, valuing the company at a total of USD 250 million.
What does this mean? Well the Founder, Chairman and CEO of Prime Focus World, Namit Malhotra, comments, "…we have accomplished a great deal in the five years since we founded Prime Focus World. We've emphasized the importance of making PFW a valuable investment by breaking into Hollywood, building direct relationships with major global studios, consistently creating superior quality work utilising our global digital pipeline and generating a revenue growth with a CAGR of over 68%. I attribute our success to our unique model of striking the right balance between creativity, technology and financial imperatives on each of our projects. Today it is heartening to see a discerning investor like AID Partners find such worth in our company."
With this kind of financial support and recognition behind them, Prime Focus look forward to continued success worldwide, as both companies (Prime Focus World and AID Partners) work together to improve the quality of film content produced for the Aisa region and to enable further growth in the entertainment industry.

A weak cold front will pass by to our north tonight bringing a chance for isolated light showers from Crater Lake north in the Cascades. Showers will end before dawn breaks on the first day of Spring tomorrow, which officially begins for us here on the west coast at 9:57AM. After the cold front passes high pressure will return which will bring warm, sunny and dry conditions back to the region through Monday. A thermal trough will develop over northern California which will cause breezy conditions at the coast, but it will be a warm off-shore flow.
Morning temperatures in west side valleys could reach critical values for our orchardists out there on Friday morning and thus a Freeze Watch has been issued for Jackson county and the Shasta Valley. Temperatures Friday morning could dip to the mid to upper 20s in the coldest spots of the valleys and could damage tender blossoms, especially nectarines, pears and peaches. Wind machines should help keep temperatures slightly warmer, be sure to take precautions. Saturday morning will be another cold one that may require a Freeze Warning to be issued.
Our next chance for showers arrives Tuesday but rain and wind totals at this time look unimpressive, though this has the potential to open the storm door bringing a more active pattern next week.
For more weather updates you can follow me on Facebook and Twitter! Thanks for logging on and have a great evening!

Does the thickness of a wire affect the flow of an electric circuit?
- 2 8-inch (20-cm) foil strips
- 3 new, clean pennies
- duct tape
- size D battery
- short, wide rubber band
- flashlight bulb
- coarse steel wool
- large steel paper clip
- Wrap the end of one foil strip around the penny, and tape the foil-wrapped penny to the negative terminal of the battery.
- Tape the second foil strip to the positive terminal of the battery.
- Stretch the rubber band around the battery to hold the coin and strips tightly against the battery ends.
- Take the free end of the foil strip that is attached to the negative terminal of the battery and twist it tightly around the base of the bulb.
- Pull a single strand out of the steel wool, and tape one end to the face of a penny.
- Pull the steel strand taut, and tape its free end to the third penny so that 1 inch (2.5 cm) of the steel strand is stretched between the two coins. Cut off any excess.
- Touch the bottom of the bulb to one of the coins, and touch the free end of the foil strip attached to the positive terminal of the battery to the other coin.
- Observe the brightness of the bulb.
- Replace the strand of steel wool with a straightened paper clip. Let the ends of the paper clip extend past the coins so that 1 inch (2.5 cm) of the metal lies between the coins.
- Repeat steps 4 through 7.
The light glows much more brightly with the thicker wire from the paper clip.
The steel wool strand and the steel paper clip both allow electric current to move through them; thus, both are conductors. The brightness of the bulb indicates that the thicker steel paper-clip wire has more electric current going through it than the thin steel wire. The measure of how difficult it is for an electric current to move through a material is its electrical resistance. The thinner the wire, the greater its resistance and the less electric current going through it. The unit of measuring electrical resistance is the ohm.
Let's Explore
- Does the length of the wire affect the results? Repeat the experiment twice, first using shorter lengths of wire, and then increasing the wire lengths.
- Does the type of material linking the coins affect the result? Repeat the previous experiment using different materials such as rubber bands, strands of hair, and copper wire. Science Fair Hint: Display the different materials used in each experiment, along with diagrams showing light bulbs and indicating their brightness. Label the materials as low, medium, high, and very high resistance. The materials with very high resistance will be those that completely oppose the flow of electricity so that the bulb does not glow.

One of the little ironies of trying to keep a journal seems to be that when you have a lot to write about, you don't have time to write, and when nothing is happening, you can finally find time to write – but there is, er, nothing to write about. Trying to remember your exact thoughts, emotions, etc. from events 2-3 days prior is like trying to remember the bubbles in a stream; they constantly appear from nothing and disappear back into nothing – too many to remember at all, much less clearly.
The weather has had that uncertain, nervous quality typical of a change of season in North Texas. I ran 4.2 miles yesterday into a shifting wind that changed, like someone flicking a giant switch somewhere, from gusting to sighing to suddenly silent over and over, while clouds and blue sky competed fiercely overhead for attention. Weak shadows formed briefly on walls and sidewalks, but the sun was a shy stranger and the air unusually thick and wet. As the day turned to night we sat on the front porch and watched banks of thunderheads marching to the distant north, lightning seething deep within. We later heard that not far north of us a tornado touched down for awhile, and the ground was pelted with hail the size of a toddler's fist. I called my mother to catch up on the latest and she recalled times when I was a child, when a great thunderstorm would come and I would open the curtains to the big window in our living room and lay on our couch to watch. "I was always scared to death," she said, "but I never let you know I was." To sit in the boiling middle of a thunderstorm and experience its fury is still one of my greatest joys. I really can't explain why, but the natural drama of a big storm touches something deep within.
I nearly decided not to sit in zazen today – I got up rather later than planned, and today was a work day – but I finally did sit before leaving the house. I remember someone saying that if we only sit when we want to, we only become familiar with that part of us that wants to sit, and it is probably the part of us that doesn't want to sit that may bear the most observing. So I sat, and after a few minutes the resistance I had initially felt ebbed away.
We really are the most temporal of creatures, our emotions and desires as extreme, sudden, and shifting as the early spring weather – and potentially as destructive to our inner nature. As with running, so with sitting. Just sit. Just run. Be with that part of me that doesn't want to sit or run, and experience it fully. If I don't shut myself off from the positive or negative within, if I don't judge it as "good" or "bad" but simply be with it, I can eventually arrive at a fuller understanding of my self … and realize I am as subject to change as the clouds racing overhead. "Form is only emptiness, emptiness only form," goes the most famous line from the Heart Sutra. It sounds sort of like something Neo would have said in The Matrix, but each of us lives the truth of it every second we are alive, and coming utterly to terms with it – realizing it completely in our hearts – can set us free. Sitting, running, I continue to feel my way toward that realization, like the child I was who watched the storms swirling without fully knowing why. I try hard to remember it's the work of a lifetime.

At Maria's, we have over 100 REAL Margaritas from which to choose! But, what is a "real" Margarita? Simple. It's one that's made with "REAL" tequila, "REAL" triple-sec and "REAL" lemon or lime juice (we use fresh-squeezed lemon juice instead of lime, because of it's year-round consistency). Real Tequila is a liquor made ONLY in Mexico, which has been distilled from the sugary juices extracted from the cooked heart of the Weber blue agave plant. To be considered true tequila, it must contain at least 51% of this agave juice (sugar). Most off-brands or "cheap" tequilas sold in the USA do not contain the required 51% agave sugar and by regulation, are not considered tequila.
The Mexican government maintains strict regulations for producers of tequila and issues a "NORMA" number to those Mexican distillers who meet their tough requirements. A bottle of real tequila will have the three letters, "N-O-M," followed by four numbers on the label... if it doesn't have a "N-O-M" number on the label, then it is simply NOT real tequila. PERIOD! AT MARIA'S, WE USE ONLY REAL TEQUILA IN ALL OF OUR MARGARITAS!
Real Triple-sec is a clear orange liqueur made from the skins of exotic orange peels, which have been sun- dried, then reconstituted with distilled water, fermented, then triple-distilled. Maria's uses BOLS brand triple-sec, which is made with all natural premium ingredients (many commercial brand triple-secs use artificial flavoring -- check the label). (NOTE: Most of our Margaritas are made with COINTREAU, which is an ultra-premium triple-sec imported from France, or GRAND MARNIER, another French import made by blending premium triple-sec with premium Cognac that is then aged for a minimum of 18-months).
We use fresh-squeezed lemon juice with no sugar or preservatives added, and finally, our ICE is an important component of our Margaritas because it subtly adds just the right amount of water to the Margarita, by breaking the corners and edges into the concoction when our bartenders shake the drink. (Using a blender adds too much water and over-dilutes the flavors).
Visit Maria's in Santa Fe and see why THE SEATTLE TIMES called Maria's "THE MOTHERLODE OF AMERICAN MARGARITAS!" Maria's has been voted BEST MARGARITAS IN SANTA FE (Santa Fe Reporter Newspaper, 1998, 1999, 2000) and BEST MARGARITAS IN NEW MEXICO (Crosswinds Magazine, 1999 only year of poll)!
For more information about margaritas, read THE GREAT MARGARITA BOOK BY AL LUCERO, WITH A FOREWORD BY ROBERT REDFORD.
REAL TEQUILA DRINKS (Other than Margaritas)
Here are a few REAL tequila drinks that we offer... they are wonderful, and they are commonly called Margaritas, but we cannot in good conscience, call them REAL Margaritas:
Fresh fruit drinks are the only "Margarita's" we recommend to be made in a blender. When a blender is used, the ice dilutes the concoction so much that all the flavors of the mixture is lost. But, these fruit "Margaritas" are quite a delight:The Strawberry Margarita
Made with Cuervo Silver tequila, Bols triple-sec, frozen whole natural unsweetened strawberries, fresh-squeezed lemon juice and a touch of sweet-and-sour. Delicious! Served frozen style (made in an electric blender and not hand-shaken).
The Peach Margarita
Made with Cuervo silver tequila, Bols triple-sec, fresh frozen natural peaches, fresh- squeezed lemon juice and a touch of sweet-and-sour. Served frozen style (made in an electric blender and not hand shaken).NOTE: "Frozen-style means that the same measurements of ingredients in REAL Margaritas (including ice) are placed in an electric blender and blended until slushy or "frozen" -- we add sweet-and-sour (a high-sugar-content bar mix) to add flavor. "Frozen" Margaritas are well suited to the use of real whole fruits and it's one of the reasons our strawberry and peach "Margaritas" are so good!
NOTE: We Discourage the drinking of "shots" -- it's just too easy to drink too much, too fast. It is our belief that alcoholic beverages should be consumed in a responsible manner.

Spice It Up!
Vitel toné (also spelled vitel thoné or vitel tonné), a classic element of holiday spreads at Christmas and New Year's celebrations in Argentina, fulfills the Argentines' craving for meat with a dish that manages to be flavorful, yet on the lighter side, when the mercury rises during the southern hemisphere summer.
A massive wave of Italian immigration at the end of the 19th century and beginning of the 20th century made a profound impact on Argentina's culture, language and, of course, cuisine. Immigrants from "The Boot" brought this dish, known as vitello tonnato in Italian, with them from their homeland. The dish originated in the Lombardy and Piedmont regions of northern Italy in the 19th century. Today, vitel toné enjoys widespread acceptance throughout Argentina.
Usually served as a cold appetizer, vitel toné consists of slices of veal in a tuna sauce. It's generally garnished with capers, but some like to dress up the dish further with chopped hardboiled eggs, finely chopped pickles, and/or olives. While veal and tuna may seem like an odd pairing, I assure you that the creamy and slightly tangy sauce really does complement the meat, and the assertive flavors of tuna and anchovy are mellowed by the cream and the mayonnaise. Give vitel toné a try, and savor some of Argentina's Italian heritage in every bite.
Vitel Toné
Serves 8-10 as appetizer
For meat:
1 (2- to 3 lb.-) veal eye of round roast [known as peceto in Argentina]
1 medium onion, peeled and quartered
1 carrot, roughly chopped
3 stalks of celery, roughly chopped
1 scallion (green part only)
1 small bunch of flat-leaf parsley
4 cloves garlic, peeled
2 bay leaves
1 tsp. whole black peppercorns
1 Tbsp. kosher salt
For sauce:
1 (5 oz.) can of tuna, packed in water
6 anchovy fillets
3 Tbsp. white vinegar
freshly ground black pepper, to taste
1 cup mayonnaise
1 Tbsp. Dijon mustard
1/2 cup cream
reserved poaching liquid, as necessary
For garnish:
1 Tbsp. flat-leaf parsley, chopped
2 Tbsp. capers
For poaching the meat:
Trim fat and silver skin from meat. In a deep, heavy pot, add onion, carrot, celery, scallion, parsley, garlic, bay leaf, black pepper and salt along with enough water to cover the meat. Cover pot, bring water to a boil, then add meat. Return to a boil, cover, reduce heat, and gently simmer for about 1 1/2 hours. Remove from heat, set aside, and allow meat to completely cool in the poaching liquid. Strain and reserve the poaching liquid. Wrap the meat tightly in plastic wrap, and refrigerate until well chilled (overnight is best).
For the tuna sauce:
Drain tuna and put into a food processor with anchovies and vinegar. Season with freshly ground black pepper. Add the mayonnaise and Dijon mustard. Process until it becomes a creamy, beige-colored sauce. Add the cream, and pulse lightly to incorporate it into the sauce. Add a few tablespoons of poaching liquid from meat if you need to thin the sauce a bit.
Carefully cut the meat into uniformly thin slices. Spread some of the tuna sauce on the bottom of a serving platter, and then layer the meat, slightly overlapping the slices. Cover the meat with sauce, and continue layering meat slices and sauce. Repeat until all the meat is used. Leave enough sauce to cover top layer. Garnish with capers and chopped parsley. Refrigerate, tightly covered, for at least 2 hours to allow flavors to develop. Remove from the refrigerator at least 15 minutes prior to serving to take a bit of the chill off the dish.

Sediment fluxes were studied in the subtropical Lake Kinneret (Israel) in 2006, 2007, and 2008 from mid-June to October, when lake was chemically stratified and the green sulfur bacterium Chlorobium phaeobacteroides formed a dense population in the anoxic metalimnion. The rate of seston accumulation in traps was measured with sedimentation traps positioned along an offshore transect connecting the littoral zone and lake center. The sediment fluxes increased from the lake center towards the littoral, while the percentage of organic material (OM) decreased correspondingly. High fluxes of bacteriochlorophyll e (BChl e—a signature pigment of Chl. phaeobacteroides) and chlorophyll a (Chl a—a marker for eukaryotic algae and cyanobacteria) were detected in all locations. The relative contributions of Chl a and BChl e to the bulk of the accumulated OM were higher in traps positioned below the thermocline in the pelagic zone than in traps located near the shore line. The presence of BChl e in traps exposed to oxic conditions in the littoral, where Chl. phaeobacteroides does not develop, implies horizontal translocation of cells from the lake center towards its periphery. We assume that seiche-mediated movement of particles embedded in the metalimnetic waters is the most probable explanation for the existence of Chl. phaeobacteroides tracer in an oxic environment, but do not exclude the possibility of resuspension of settled particles as source for BChl e in littoral traps. The green sulfur bacteria are potentially important component of the sediment flux of photosynthesizing organisms in a thermally stratified lake and should be taken into account when carbon budget are constructed.

One of my favorite people in the Christmas story from St. Luke's Gospel, chapter 2, is Simeon. We read that the Holy Spirit revealed to him that he would see the long-awaited Messiah before he died. In the Christmas story, we see that Simeon comes to Mary and Joseph, and takes their little baby from them.
I am sure they were shocked. Who knows the number of parents that brought their first-born baby boys into the temple on the day that Joseph and Mary presented Jesus to God. How could Simeon pick the baby Jesus out of the crowd? In verse 30, Simeon says, "For my eyes have seen your salvation." What was it that Simeon's old eyes saw? He is seeing a little baby. On the outside, there was nothing special about this baby. Just a little baby boy with five small toes on each foot and five little fingers on each hand, probably with a small mop of hair on His head. I even imagine a small mop of red hair. But when Simeon looks at the baby Jesus he obviously sees much more than just a little baby. "My eyes have seen your salvation."
That word "see" is important. It means to perceive, to know, to understand. The Holy Spirit of God that moved Simeon to go to the temple at the very moment when Joseph, Mary, and Jesus were arriving helped him see more than just a little baby.
Filled with the Holy Spirit, Simeon sees that Jesus is the fulfillment of Old Testament prophecies: that Jesus is the promised Messiah, the Immanuel, the God who is with us, and the "wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, and Prince of Peace" foretold centuries earlier by the prophet Isaiah. Simeon miraculously sees with his own eyes what God's people waited centuries to see, and what Simeon himself waited an entire lifetime to see. Simeon sees that God is a wonderful and loving God Who keeps His promises.
Simeon sees even more. He sees the wonderful miracles that Jesus will be doing. He sees that Jesus will heal the blind, the lame, the sick, and the lepers. Simeon sees that Jesus will even raise the dead to life. Simeon hears the wonderful news that Jesus will be bringing. Good News of God's love and forgiveness to the poor, the prisoners, and the outcasts of society. Simeon sees the love that Jesus will show to people like Zacchaeus, Mary, Martha, Lazarus, a Roman centurion, prostitutes, a woman caught in adultery, and to you and me.
Simeon sees still more. Filled with the Holy Spirit, Simeon sees the cross and the grave, and His resurrection on the first Easter. Simeon sees that Jesus is the Suffering Servant Who would die for our sins, as anticipated by the prophets. He sees in the baby Jesus that one day He would be despised and rejected by men, a man of sorrows, and familiar with grief, as Isaiah foretold centuries earlier. Simeon sees that Jesus will be hated. In Luke 2:31, Simeon sees that Jesus is "the salvation which you have prepared in the sight of all people." Simeon sees that the baby Jesus will also be a Savior for those from every tribe and nation, language and people who also long for God.
Simeon also saw a world not unlike ours. A world full of war and terror, of death, of great poverty, where children kill and are killed. Simeon saw a world desperate with hurt and pain and immorality. He sees the terrible human tragedies that come from violence, illness, earthquakes, volcanoes, tsunamis, and hurricanes.
As Simeon sees the baby Jesus, he is ready to meet God, His maker, and can die in peace. Why? Because Simeon not only sees, but also believes. He believes Jesus is the Savior. Simeon believes that Jesus is the Messiah. He believes that this little baby Jesus is the Son of God.
This Christmas, we have much to learn from Simeon. As we look at the commercialism, the tinsel, the shopping, the traffic, the frenetic pace, the soon-to-come high credit card bills, can you look at the baby Jesus laying in the crèche at our church this Christmas and say, with Simeon, "My eyes have seen your salvation." Can we say today with Simeon, "I can die in peace, for my eyes have seen your salvation." You don't have to be holding the baby Jesus in your arms to say that. You just have to hold Jesus in your heart by faith. You just have to receive Jesus as Lord and Savior of your life. And, as Simeon teaches us, you are never too old, or too young, to see God's salvation. So, this year, let's celebrate the Giver of Salvation: the Christ of Christmas. The true Christ of Christmas is God's salvation for you.
Merry Christmas, Everyone.

Close encounters with colossal quantities of collards, chopping and stacking firewood, and worship in Duke Chapel awaited alumni Feb. 11-13 at the first reunion for the Duke Youth Academy for Christian Formation.
Sixty-six DYA alumni from across the U.S.—52 students and 14 staffers—spent the weekend on campus and at nearby Camp Chestnut Ridge in Efland, N.C., engaged in worship, plenary sessions, and service, which is where the collards—3,000 pounds gleaned for the N.C. Food Bank—came in.
After four summers of the two-week residential program on Duke's campus, DYA has approximately 220 alumni, many of whom are now in college. Next fall, James "Hutch" Stull DYA'01 of Maumee, Ohio, will become the first DYA alumnus to enter the master of divinity program at Duke.
While alumni stay connected through e-mail groups where they post prayer concerns, theological questions, and discuss Christian responses to current events, this was the first reunion. DYA sends alumni a quarterly newsletter, which features an "Edietorial" written by Faculty Director Fred Edie.
"We hear from many alumni that they are seeking a college environment that will nurture their faith as DYA did," said Edie. "Others are accepting calls to ministries of teaching, missions and parish ministries."
The fifth Duke Youth Academy will be July 10-23 at Duke. The academy began in the summer of 2000 with funding from Lilly Endowment. Participants must be rising juniors or seniors in high school. For more information about DYA and dates for 2006, visit the Web site at http://www.divinity.duke.edu/programs/youth/.

Vernon Tyson D'57 found himself in a divinity school classroom again, but this time his son, author and professor Timothy Tyson G'94, was standing behind the podium. The younger Tyson's April 5 talk about his book Blood Done Sign My Name, inspired by his father's ministry of racial reconciliation (cover story, Divinity Fall 2004), was the first public event in the new Westbrook Building.
Blood Done Sign My Name has been described as "part memoir, part history, part detective story" by Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist David Maraniss. The book focuses on the 1970 "late-model lynching" of a young black man and the racial conflagrations that followed in its wake in Oxford, N.C., where Vernon Tyson was pastor of Oxford United Methodist Church.
Timothy Tyson, who earned his Ph.D. at Duke in 1994, is professor of Afro-American Studies at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. During 2004-05, he was the John Hope Franklin Senior Fellow at the National Humanities Center in Research Triangle Park.
Blood Done Sign My Name is the 2005 Summer Reading Program selection at UNC-Chapel Hill and a finalist for the 2004 National Book Critics Circle Award. It was also among The New York Public Library's annual "Books to Remember"—the 25 most memorable books during 2004.

ZaZa Energy Announces Agreements With Hess, Partial Prepayment Of Debt And Engagement For Joint Venture Process
The Company separately agreed with the lead investors of ZaZa's 8% senior secured notes due 2017 to pay down $33 million of the $100 million principal amount of the notes. As part of that agreement, the lead investors provided a multi-part waiver of certain defaults under the notes, including a waiver of ZaZa's failure (i) to timely file its Form 10-K with the Securities and Exchange Commission for the year ended December 31, 2011 and (ii) to timely file its subsequent quarterly report on Form 10-Q. The Company expects to file its Annual Report on Form 10-K within the next week and its Form 10-Q shortly thereafter.
The Company has engaged Jefferies as its financial advisor to assist in securing a joint venture partner or partners for its Eagle Ford and Woodbine/Eaglebine assets, as well as to evaluate all strategic opportunities available to the Company, including asset and corporate transactions and financing arrangements. More information on this process will be provided in the coming months.
Mr. Craig McKenzie, Chief Executive Officer, said, "We are very pleased with today's events. In a relatively short period of time we have transformed the corporation and have focused our portfolio on near-term growth opportunities that will benefit all ZaZa stakeholders. Upon closing the transaction, we will have created a critical mass of assets in the prolific Eagle Ford core and emerging Woodbine/Eaglebine plays, where we will be the operator of approximately 170,000 net acres. We will also retain our French base business and preserve access to upside from future exploration success associated with the one million acres targeting the Liassic resource."
Mr. McKenzie continued, "Our immediate priority is to regain reporting compliance by filing our financial statements over the next few weeks and, with our high-graded asset portfolio, begin our joint venture process with Jefferies for both our Eagle Ford and Eaglebine acreage."
