Travel Tips from people who've been to Igoumenitsa
in 1993 I went on my first trip alone with a friend and we decided to take the train to Bulgaria. Our parents dropped us off in Antwerp and from there we ended up in Brindisi, Italy a few days later. We were heading towards Sofia, where we were meeting a girl we met in Ghent, she studied with us, but went back to Bulgaria for the summer. In Brindisi we could take the boat to Greece, but we had to choose if we would go to Igoumenitsa or to Athens. Athens was too far so we bought two tickets to Igoumenitsa. But little did we know that there was no railway track in Igoumenitsa and the next station was 300 miles further... (in those days I did not buy Lonely planet guides yet) Luckily for us two guys from the newly founded Czech Republic gave us a ride in their already full car. We got out in Larissa and from there we continued our trip to Sofia! Good tip? (0) No so many things to see, but a good place to relax...! Good tip?

Novak Djokovic rounds out semifinals
MELBOURNE, Australia -- Appearing uncomfortable for much of the match, defending champion Novak Djokovic held on to beat David Ferrer 6-4, 7-6 (4), 6-1 and complete a blockbuster semifinal lineup at the Australian Open.
Djokovic leads the top four men in tennis into the semis at Melbourne Park, advancing to a matchup against No. 4 Andy Murray, who won his quarterfinal match earlier Wednesday 6-3, 6-3, 6-1 over Kei Nishikori of Japan.
More From The Australian Open
Novak Djokovic and Andy Murray booked their passage to the semifinals. That means the big four will fight it out until the bitter end -- again, Greg Garber writes. Story
Andy Murray had to put in a hard day's work to dismiss Kei Nishikori and reach the semifinal round again in Melbourne, Ravi Ubha writes. Story
On Thursday, No. 2 Rafael Nadal plays No. 3 Roger Federer, the first time the two former top-ranked stars have met in a semifinal since the 2005 French Open.
It marks only the third time that the top four seeds have advanced to the semis at the Australian Open -- it previously happened in 1988 and 2005. It was also the 14th time at all Grand Slams since the Open Era began in 1968, but the third time in the last four majors, including the U.S. Open and French Open last year.
Djokovic rubbed the back of his upper left leg on several occasions, looked on the verge of being physically sick in the second set and buried his head in towels several times during breaks. During the third set, a tired-looking Djokovic sat down on a linesman's chair during a line-call video challenge by Ferrer.
"I was lucky to get out of the second set. It was a big mental advantage to get two sets up," Djokovic said.
He also played down talk of any injuries.
"I don't have any physical issues," Djokovic said. "I feel very fit and I feel mentally, as well, very fresh. It's just today I found it very difficult after a long time to breathe because I felt the whole day my nose was closed a little bit. I just wasn't able to get enough oxygen."

The Nadal-Federer semifinal matchup has been rarely possible because the pair held the top two spots for most of the time between 2005 and 2010, meaning they could only meet in the finals after being placed in opposite sides of the draw.
Djokovic said he'd be watching the Nadal and Federer match like any tennis fan.
"I will enjoy it from my couch. They're two out of four or five of the greatest players to play this game, they've been so dominant," Djokovic said. "Every time they play it's a treat. I'm going to have a nice dinner at home and watch them."
Murray, for his part, is also surprised not to have to face Nadal in the semifinals.
"It has been amazing, I pretty much drew to be in Nadal's half ... almost every Slam," Murray said. "I can't remember the last time I wasn't in his half of the draw. It's been a long time."

Major market indexes are pointed south this afternoon, as investors can't seem to shake their "fiscal-cliff" concerns. While today's sell-off could be limited due to the observance of Veteran's Day, the number of equities drifting to new bottoms is eclipsing those at new highs. At last look, the NYSE has tallied 65 new lows and 46 new peaks, while the Nasdaq counts 67 bottoms and just 15 new highs. Among the stocks charting notable moves are Groupon Inc (NASDAQ:GRPN - 2.66), Intel Corporation (NASDAQ:INTC - 20.72), and Gilead Sciences, Inc. (NASDAQ:GILD - 72.77).

Nightmare Royale #14: The Art that Comes From Pain (On Lost Heroes, the Spark, And the Face in the Dark)
I spent last Sunday afternoon at the Hyaena Art Gallery in Burbank – a favorite place, for any occasion – at the behest of my good friend Brian Bubonic, who had an artist he wanted me to meet. A young Ukrainian named Krawczyk Stanislav was in town, blessedly far from his war-ravaged home. His preferred medium is ball point pen on paper. Here's a small sampling of his work.

TV Use in Detroit
Here's more about cable TV in Detroit, TX than you were probably looking for, from the TV nerds at CableTV.com. We know that one-third of American households have four or more televisions. That means 235 out of 713 own four or more televisions. With that many TVs, it's no surprise that DVR use has jumped to nearly 7% of Americans' total TV watching. Still, 592 Detroit residents watch regularly scheduled programming. Also noteworthy is that 72% of Americans bundle their cable subscriptions with high-speed Internet. That makes 513 residents with a bundled contract.

You and Antonio were friends. Just friends. You had to nail that down in your head before you got any stupid ideas and ended up getting hurt. So you just rang his doorbell, mentally preparing for the next few moments. The door would open, and you would be blindsided by those stunning green eyes, perfectly framed by his brown hair. Then he would turn, and you would have to resist... looking down.
But you were ready for this. You would only be friends with him. You knew the people he hung out with, completing the infamous "bad touch trio", and you knew how he probably treated girls. Of course you were different, you had gotten sidetracked by his charm (who wouldn't?) but you fought through it and decided the closest you could ever be to him was as a friend. And you made it so.
"Hola, chica!" he said cheerily, opening the door. As expected the green eyes were shining and full of light.
Instantly he brought a grin to your face. "Hey, Toni." Luckily, he waved you into the house so you could walk in front of him and avoid getting caught staring at his perfect ass. Little did you know, he did it so he could watch you. He had developed eyes for you, and wanted to know how you resisted his charm. But it was growing into more...
You snapped him out of his thoughts by turning around and taking away his view. "So, what movie did you want to watch?"
"I don't care, I just wanted to hang out." Antonio said with a shrug. "Why don't you go pick something?" he asked, gesturing to the dvds.
You nodded going to them and picking out (movie). "This okay?"
"Si. That's one of my favorites." he said with his ever present grin.
You moved to put it in the dvd player, and he got some churros out from the kitchen. Gratefully, you took one, and started to watch the movie.
Somehow Antonio had edged closer and closer to you, and you were almost snuggling into his chest on the couch. Suddenly he whispered into your ear, "Chica, I think you have a little bit of sugar on your face. His voice was low and it gave you chills, you turned to look at him, finding his face only inches from your own. Its proximity brought a blush to your face, and he continued, "I'll get it." And he smoothly swept down to give you a kiss. It was passionate and amazing, and for a moment all your thoughts on friendship were clouded and fuzzy.
You broke the kiss and said to him quietly, "T-Toni... I don't think I can do this." He tried to look into your (e/c) eyes, but you kept your gaze downcast. "I don't want to be another conquest. Another notch in your bedpost. I'd rather just be friends with you."
"Chica..." he breathed, lifting your chin so you were lost in his deep green eyes. "How can you say that? You are so much more to me than any other girl. I don't want some fling with you, I want a relationship. I want to be with you. You... You fascinate me. You're not like the other girls that swoon all over me. You're so special, can't you see that?"
You couldn't have been happier. You were positively elated. He brought his lips to yours once more, and this time you kissed back. Wrapping your arms around his neck, he snaked his around your waist, and the two of you fell backwards onto the couch, with you pinned underneath him.
And let's just say, the two of you didn't pay much attention to that movie.

S Damen Ave / W 59th St median real estate price is $98,256, which is less expensive than 78.9% of Illinois neighborhoods and 78.4% of all U.S. neighborhoods.
The average rental price in S Damen Ave / W 59th St is currently $700, based on NeighborhoodScout's exclusive analysis. Rents here are currently lower in price then 65.0% of Illinois neighborhoods.
S Damen Ave / W 59th St is a densely urban neighborhood (based on population density) located in Chicago, Illinois.
S Damen Ave / W 59th St real estate is primarily made up of medium sized (three or four bedroom) to small (studio to two bedroom) single-family homes and small apartment buildings. Most of the residential real estate is occupied by a mixture of owners and renters. Many of the residences in the S Damen Ave / W 59th St neighborhood are relatively historic, built no later than 1939, and in some cases, quite a bit earlier. A number of residences were also built between 1940 and 1969.
S Damen Ave / W 59th St has a 14.4% vacancy rate, which is well above average compared to other U.S. neighborhoods (higher than 71.7% of American neighborhoods). This could either signal that there is weak demand for real estate in the neighborhood, or that much of the housing stock is seasonally occupied, which can occur in some markets dominated by colleges or vacation homes. Either way, if you live here year round, you will find many of the homes or apartments are empty for all or a portion of the year.

You've probably seen ads for low-carb foods and diets, but kids and adults need carbohydrates (say: kar-bo-hi-draytz). Most foods contain carbohydrates, which the body breaks down into simple sugars — the major source of energy for the body.
There are two major types of carbohydrates (or carbs) in foods: simple and complex.
Simple carbohydrates: These are also called simple sugars. Simple sugars are found in refined sugars, like the white sugar you'd find in a sugar bowl. If you have a lollipop, you're eating simple carbs. But you'll also find simple sugars in more nutritious foods, such as fruit and milk. It's better to get your simple sugars from food like fruit and milk. Why? Because sugar isn't added to these foods and they also contain vitamins, fiber, and important nutrients like calcium. A lollipop has lots of added sugar and doesn't contain important nutrients.
Complex carbohydrates: These are also called starches. Starches include grain products, such as bread, crackers, pasta, and rice. As with simple sugars, some complex carbohydrate foods are better choices than others. Refined (say: ree-find) grains, such as white flour and white rice, have been processed, which removes nutrients and fiber. But unrefined grains still contain these vitamins and minerals. Unrefined grains also are rich in fiber, which helps your digestive system work well. Fiber helps you feel full, so you are less likely to overeat these foods. That explains why a bowl of oatmeal fills you up better than sugary candy with the same amount of calories as the oatmeal.
So which type of carbs should you eat? Both can be part of a healthy diet.
When you eat carbs, your body breaks them down into simple sugars, which are absorbed into the bloodstream. As the sugar level rises in your body, the pancreas releases a hormone called insulin. Insulin is needed to move sugar from the blood into the cells, where the sugar can be used as a source of energy.
When this process goes fast — as with simple sugars — you're more likely to feel hungry again soon. When it occurs more slowly, as with a whole-grain food, you'll be satisfied longer. These types of complex carbohydrates give you energy over a longer period of time.
The carbs in some foods (mostly those that contain a lot of simple sugars) cause the blood sugar level to rise more quickly than others. Scientists have been studying whether eating foods that cause big jumps in blood sugar may be related to health problems like diabetes and heart disease.
You're probably already on the right track if you are limiting simple sugars (such as candy) and eating more complex carbohydrates (like vegetables, oatmeal, and whole-grain wheat bread).

Who can afford this kind of treatment in these "belt tightening" economic times?And even at that price they aren't going to make any money when it cost 8000$ to 10000$$$ just 5 years ago in Europe. Isolagen went bankrupt at the higher price in the EU!This marketing plan is DOA!!
see the problem with you dmess is you tell so many lies you can't keep track of the ones you tell. it is your other half spliff that was suppose to be the "surfer", maybe he is still in the closet looking for his boogie board!commercialization is going just fine, check out the recent kaufman presentation.no, not accredited investor. just plain ole investor: Re: $0.45 13-Feb-11 09:51 pm Not true....I've been following this company (it's predecessor Isolagen) for 8 years. Starting buying FCSC @ .40. The company is real, as is their therapy. Ignore the ya-hoos, and stay long. now if you could just learn to tell the truth, you wouldn't have to keep track of your lies! but that is the problem with being a PAID BASHER, you make your living telling lies.
Well, another thoughtless post from one of those -- deep pocketed -- "accredited investors", who spends all his free time bragging about his 'eggspurt' "surfing prowess" -- rather than discussing such trivial matters as FCSC "commercialization plan".Oh, he "shuns" such trivial and banal subjects as... boring... yawn...Ohhh... such is the fickle nature of your standard FCSC's "revered accredited investor". It's good to hear from you, Cin. How is the surf in Tinseltown, Pal?
The trading volume is, perhaps, an indication of future demand for Laviv. At these "extortionately expensive" prices there will not be any demand to crow about folks..Take heed you "FCSC-Laviv" devotees. Seems like new investors are sniffing, and then taking a pass of FCSC?The lack of demand is telling all a' yawl' something and you better read the "tea leaves".This dog ain't gonna hunt for 'you's'. As that ol' saw goes: this FCSC-dog is a turkey in disguise.This malaise is an indication that something is "inherently wrong" with this FCSC idea, and I know lots "you's' are thinking along the same lines, but you dare not utter a word.But let me advise you to stay at the ready, 'cause when the race to exit begins, you better be ready to bail, so you don't get left with the sack o' dung.
****spliff4joy/demesshian: "The trading volume is, perhaps, an indication of future demand for Laviv. "http://messages.finance.yahoo.com/Stocks_%28A_to_Z%29/Stocks_F/threadview?m=tm&bn=109334&tid=11003&mid=11295&tof=8&frt=2I see. Asking you to listen to facts and discussing them is above your pay grade so you change your alias to continue with your predictable "blah blah blah" contentless spam.It's amusing to see the evolution in your bashing though. It's no longer about laViv causing cancers, laViv not working, laViv not approvable, laViv blah blah blah... Now it's low trading volume of the stock meaning small laViv market. What an intellect to come up with that piece of, as you love to say, "bovine excrement"! All must bow to the great scatologist who sniffs himself for joy!
At these prices, FCSC management has priced Laviv out of the facial aesthetics wrinkle filler market.But they have no choice 'cause the manufacturing cost of Laviv is expensive and even at these estimated prices, it will be difficult to generate a reasonable profit.The pre-payment of upwards of 70% will create HUGE "sticker shock" and customer resistance. And with our understanding of human behavior, the GRAND majority -- (98.5% to 99.9%), of folks visiting doctors, contemplating Laviv will opt for "Allergan's Botox/Juvederm" combo.Allergan's products are "lighter" on "the ever-cost-conscious" facial aesthetic customer's pocketbooks and, can be "conveniently" delivered on the spot.So the customers demand will be met by the doctors and clinics all across the U.S., however; the products used to satisfy that demand will be terribly disappointing to all you FCSC longs.
This will never sell at the price they are trying to extort.
LaViv is the most expensive "face lift" on the aesthetic market to date.There is a reason why the "Big Players" are just silently whistling along unperturbed by LaViv's presence.They know that at this "sky high" entry level price and the long delay, this product will be almost DOA.LaViv is: 1)over-hyped and overpriced; 2)for the wrong market; and 3)a bad fit for the current facial aesthetic market's direction; that is, lower cost plus super market like convenience for 95% of customers.In baseball that's 3 strikes and you are out. Isn't it?Yeah, the product might work but, where does it fit or, where and how does your mktg guru ceo, does his product placement to insure profitability. I don't see a fit and given the failed history in Europe, I am terribly pessimistic. This is a BIG miss!
For a loser like you even a Big Mac is "Extortionately Expensive"

Will Clyburn scored 27 points to lead Iowa State to an 83-74 victory over West Virginia on Saturday in the final regular-season game for both teams.
Clyburn, who also had 10 rebounds, made 8 of 9 free throws in the final 90 seconds as the Cyclones (21-10, 11-7 Big 12 Conference) held off the Mountaineers (13-18, 6-12).

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - View original article
Scott Bechtel Smith (born July 13, 1965) is an American author and screenwriter, who has published two novels, A Simple Plan and The Ruins. His screen adaptation of A Simple Plan earned him an Academy Award nomination. The screenplay won a Broadcast Film Critics Association Award and a National Board of Review Award.
Smith was born in Summit, New Jersey in 1965 and moved to Toledo, Ohio as a child.[1] After studying at Dartmouth College and graduating from Columbia University, he took up writing full-time.
His second novel, The Ruins, was also adapted into a film, released on April 4, 2008. Stephen King called it "[t]he best horror novel of the new century." King had also called A Simple Plan "simply the best suspense novel of the year."
Smith is the son of Linda and Doug Smith. He told The Pittsburgh Tribune-Review reviewer Regis Behe that, as a child, he read his father's "castoffs," the novels of Clive Cussler and Jack Higgins. "Growing up, I also read Ray Bradbury and Stephen King," he said. "I just had a sense of how to create these places that aren't real world places, but just with this provisional attachment to the real world. It is very much of your imagination, and I felt very much I could do that."[2]

Loving those sunnies and that watch too! The cardigan over the pink floral is a beautiful way to style it! :)

Come say hey at Ducklingtoswan.com! :)There is absolutely no flawless look when it comes to you! I love your clutch and that dress!

Everything in this picture looks stylish. I especially liked your angle boots and the way you have matched the cardigan, clutch, sunglass and boots. My leg structure is also similar to yours. I have a similar UGG Australia angle boot made of suede leather. The only difference is it has buttons instead of zip. So I can wear it either up or fold it down(another style statement) The color also seems to be the same. I just adore my boots. Knee length skirt and boots are my style statement. The flower print in your dress is perfect for spring. Altogether it provides a refreshing look.

Turnover in the Chinese Basketball Association is common — especially with American players — but it hasn't been that way with the NBA players inked to play there during the NBA lockout.
At least not yet. That could be changing, ESPN's Marc Stein reports.
The Xinjiang Flying Tigers in China are giving strong consideration to releasing star forward Kenyon Martin, according to sources close to the situation.…
Sources told ESPN.com that only the threat of serious sanctions from Chinese league officials for releasing a player of Martin's stature in-season, including the potential forfeiture of games, has stopped Xinjiang from making the move already.
Remember that the Chinese league did not want a "rent a player" situation so they only allowed teams to sign NBA free agents and said they had to keep them the entire season. Many observers expected there where handshake deals between the players and teams that when the lockout ended the players would be released.
But as of now, no signed NBA players have been let go by teams.
Xinjiang is off to a slow start and is paying big money to K-Mart, so they want to shake things up. This is a move they would make for "basketball reasons" but the league may step in to block it. Sound familiar?
If K-Mart is released it could open the door for other NBA players in China — J.R. Smith, Wilson Chandler and Aaron Brooks — to get released as well. This would be a test case.

"Xinjiang is off to a slow start and is paying big money to K-Mart, so they want to shake things up. This is a move they would make for "basketball reasons" but the league may step in to block it. Sound familiar?"
Yes it does sound familiar…and again, in this case, the league would be 100% right to block the move. Both the players and teams knew in advance that the league would not allow the teams to release the NBA players when the lockout ended and they signed them anyway.
Thanks for the great analogy Kurt!!!!

wud be good news for the nuggets
- Kurt Helin - Dec 19, 2011 at 4:02 PM
Martin would be a free agent who could sign anywhere, although Denver could offer more money than any other likely contenders for his services.
- cornbreadbbqred - Dec 20, 2011 at 12:16 AM
Yeah, but would they be able to manufacture hitting a clutch free-throw and ship to to, uh, K-Mart? I doubt it!

Great tasting Oxygen saturated Nutritional Product with Aloe Verabrought to you by Youngevity
Endorsed & Promoted By Dr. Joel WallachMany modern cities have an environment with reduced oxygen supplies. Trees and plants that produce oxygen are cut down and destroyed all over the world in order to make way for "progress". The thoughtless elimination of the world's plant resources is rapidly reducing the oxygen levels around the planet-not just in big cities.
Pollution in mid-sized to large cities has sometimes risen to dangerous levels, not only creating the need for increased body cleansing but, by the polluting presence, also replacing the available oxygen in the air we breathe. The need, therefore, for oxygen-enhancing products has become even more important to counteract these deficiencies.
Today we have only begun to understand the body's dependence upon oxygen, the most precious nutrient. Nutritional science has taken steps to increase oxygen intake through nutritional products, designed to facilitate oxygen utilization.
Thousands of people have felt the benefits from increasing their oxygen intake. You can too.
What powers lie behind Aloe Vera?People have used the Aloe Vera leaf for cuts and burns by rubbing the leaf directly on the skin.

DURECT Announces Update On Remoxy®
CUPERTINO, Calif., May 10, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- DURECT Corporation (Nasdaq: DRRX) today announced that Pfizer has provided an update on Remoxy as part of their Form 10-Q filing. Pfizer's disclosure is as follows: "In 2005, King Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (King) entered into an agreement with Pain Therapeutics, Inc. (PT) to develop and commercialize Remoxy. In August 2008, the FDA accepted the NDA for Remoxy that had been submitted by King and PT. In December 2008, the FDA issued a "complete response" letter. In March 2009, King exercised its right under the agreement with PT to assume sole control and responsibility for the development of Remoxy. In December 2010, King resubmitted the NDA for Remoxy with the FDA. In June 2011, we and PT announced that a "complete response" letter was received from the FDA with regard to the resubmission of the NDA. We have been working to address the issues raised in the letter, which primarily relate to manufacturing. We met with the FDA in March 2013 to discuss our plan to address the June 2011 "complete response" letter. We received written guidance from the FDA in May regarding required next steps, including additional clinical studies, to address the letter. Based on this guidance, we are considering our options with respect to Remoxy. If we elect to continue development of Remoxy, we would not expect to submit a response to the "complete response" letter before mid-2015."
(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20020717/DRRXLOGO)
We understand from Pfizer that additional clinical studies are necessary and include, in part, a pivotal bioequivalence study with the modified formulation to bridge to the clinical data conducted with the original formulation, as well as an abuse potential study with the modified Remoxy formulation.

Changing the Game: New Rules on Iron Chef America
by Simon Majumdar in Shows, January 19th, 2013Fans of Iron Chef America have probably noticed that there have been a couple of significant changes in the way that winners are selected in Kitchen Stadium recently.
No longer do the chefs get the benefit of a full hour of cooking before they are asked to present their first dish to the judges — the first dish is now expected in just 20 minutes. And to add to their discomfort, at some point during the 60-minute contest, the Chairman will also wheel out a small trolley to reveal a "Culinary Curveball" to be incorporated into the final presentation. Both of these new challenges carry with them significant points and how the chef performs can put them at a major advantage or disadvantage for the rest of the battle.
I can tell you that these changes have taken a bit of getting used to, both for the chefs and the judges. Now that I have taken part in a number of competitions under these new regulations, however, I can hold my hand up and say that I am a fan of the new format.
The 20-Minute Challenge
I particularly like this new element in Iron Chef America, as it serves to level out the playing field between the Iron Chef and their challenger. Many chefs can be intimidated by their surroundings upon their arrival to Kitchen Stadium, especially if it's their first time. I have seen plenty of them freeze the moment the Chairman shouts, "Allez cuisine!" Some become incapable of producing the food we believe them to be capable of.
Here's the deal: Because both chefs now have to create their first dish in just 20 minutes, that leaves little time for the challenger to encounter stage fright, so they can get straight down to the battle. It also means that the Iron Chefs can't fall back on their normal game plans and have to be at their best from the get-go. If not, they can find themselves behind on points and playing catch-up for the rest of the contest.
A perfect example of this can be seen in the recent battle between Iron Chef Bobby Flay and Chef Viet Pham from Salt Lake City, Utah. The Iron Chef's offering barely made it to the judging table in the allotted time and was so oversalted that it was marked down by all three judges. This gave Chef Pham a handy lead for the rest of the competition.
And, of course, there is one extra added benefit to the 20-Minute Challenge; in that it provides us with an all-too-rare opportunity to see Iron Chef Zakarian panicking, running and raising a sweat, all of which is surely worth the admission price on its own!
The Culinary Curveball
I was a lot less certain about the second change to the rules — the Chairman's Culinary Curveball — as I thought at first that its only purpose was to disrupt the chefs just for the sake of it. As I have seen the chefs react to the ingredients or tools presented by the Chairman, however, it's obvious that it gives them both added inspiration and new creative possibilities.
In her very first battle against Judy Joo, Iron Chef Guarnaschelli was given a Danish aebleskiver pan as her Culinary Curveball, and she used it to prepare small Mortadella dumplings that impressed all the judges. The points they awarded for this creativity definitely helped her on her way to victory.
There is also some entertainment value to this new challenge. Few people who have seen the battle between Iron Chefs Forgione, Symon and Zakarian, and their rivals from Chopped (Conant, Murphy and Sanchez) will forget the amusing look of horror on the faces of all concerned as the Chairman pulled away the cloth to reveal a canister of liquid nitrogen during the Battle Thanksgiving Leftovers. The fact that none of them would consider this tool part of their normal culinary repertoire meant they were well out of their comfort zone.
While I know that change is often difficult to come to terms with, particularly when you are dealing with something as well established as the rules of Iron Chef America, I hope that like me, you will all begin to see the value in these twists and enjoy the new levels of excitement they bring with them.
At the very least, you can join me in shouting, "Run, Geoffrey, run!" whenever Iron Chef Zakarian is called upon to deliver his first dish in only 20 minutes.

i would like to have more iron chef international,so we can find and get the best in the world
Ye culinary gods!!! You nailed it, John–ICA meets (or rather, has a head-on collision with Chopped. Whereas those tactics work on Chopped (with candidates who are trying to survive the "chopping block" and aren't necessarily presenting themselves as the "best of the best", I can see the point–but NOT for challengers and reigning Iron Chefs! For them, I think the changes are somewhat demeaning.
To all those complaining about the new rules, I think I need to point something out: Iron Chef America is a competitive cooking show. It's not a "teach you to cook" show, it's not "here's some interesting food-facts" show, it's not a "here's a difficult task, complete it" show. It's a direct competition show. Chefs compete directly against each other, with the results judged.
I suspect that the primary reason that they made these changes was due to the overwhelming evidence that the Iron Chefs (especially Morimoto, Flay, and Symon) have a virtually insurmountable advantage in Kitchen Stadium. They know where everything is, they know all the quirks of the machines, they know the likes and dislikes of most of the judges, they are almost as familiar with KS as their own restaurants' kitchens. Homefield advantage is true in all competitions, but most competitions aren't as effected by it as competitors are in KS.
These new challenges helps to offset those advantages by introducing a short-duration time goal and a random addition. The time challenge forced them to act swiftly and plan well. As was recently pointed out, the Chef has to rely on their brigade to get things going while they focus on that 20 minute dish. This shows something that you don't see all that often: how well did they train their brigade and how well they lead it. I'll also note that there have been far more mistakes and near-disasters since this was introduced, which lets you see how they deal with those problems.
The CCC is a Sword of Damocles hanging over both chefs' heads. They know it's coming, they know it'll (so far) be after the 20 minute challenge, they don't know what it will be and they certainly don't know how they'll integrate it. And you know something? It's made things interesting again. I'm no longer 80% certain that the IC will win, and in a show about a competition, that is incredibly critical.
THAT adds to the drama and tension. You are here for the drama and tension, right? If not, why are you watching a COMPETITIVE anything?
Something they could try is to have the judges do blind tasting. That means the judges don't watch the chefs while they are cooking and don't know who cooked what dish. I can't get away from the idea that the judges automatically score the Iron Chefs higher just because they are the Iron Chefs. They probably want to stay in the good graces of the show's producers and chefs. Yes, each dish will be judged on its own but it seems more fair that way when the judges aren't allowed to make their assessments with iron chef favoritism. The highest combined score wins!! If the Iron Chefs won consistently with this type of format, any praise given to them would be truly earned! What do you think?
That's not a bad idea, though the judges would probably be rather bored until the food is served. Another idea is to broaden the number of judges and stop bringing back the same ones over and over. Even the Chefs admit that they know who likes what when it comes to the repeat judges.
That is a great idea too! Anything to really even up the playing field and let the food do the talking for each chef would be great! I'm sure there would be no shortage of potential judges for the show to keep the chefs on their toes!
The best change for me is seeing the chefs actually make every dish for the judge. Before, they made one of each dish and had other chefs replicate these dishes off camera. This adds more realism to the show and makes the timed clock more relevant.

how BOUT A MATCH BETWEEN BOBBYFLAy and ANN.
keep it the way it was,if anything bring the uncle on if he's still alive ,and let him introduce the secret ingredent.
These new rules were game changers and were right in time to be implemented to add a new challenge for the participants. The show won't stall with fresh challenges in the mix. Question now is who are the best chefs if compared season by season.
I needed to send you the little bit of remark to help thank you very much again with the fantastic thoughts you have contributed on this website. It was open-handed of you to present without restraint what a few individuals would've advertised as an e book in order to make some dough on their own, principally since you might have tried it in case you considered necessary. These techniques likewise worked like a fantastic way to comprehend many people have the same eagerness just like mine to figure out more and more with regard to this problem. I know there are thousands of more pleasurable times in the future for many who examine your site.
I watched with an open mind when the rules changed but my first impression was that I didn't care for the 20 minute first dish. After a few episodes now I really dislike it. We have Chopped for that and that is a great show. The curveball is fine but I sure would like to see the 20 min meal go away.
I hope you are not making the show harder just to make it harder! As a chef, these new added twists after years of the same formula would piss me off. Old school with always beat new school. Why change the game plan, when it is what made you successful? Remember when McDonald's tried to sell pizza? It failed miserably. Stick to the game plan.

Colonel Sanders, a dirty canal, and a deepening Japanese baseball mystery.
TOKYO – Many Americans — and certainly those who are baseball fans — know the Curse of the Bambino, which came about when the Boston Red Sox sold Babe Ruth to the New York Yankees, and then endured 86 years without a World Series title.
Japan — another country with a great baseball tradition — has a colorful superstition of its own: the Curse of the Colonel.
This one involves a pathetic team, fans jumping into a filthy canal, and the mystery of a missing statue of Colonel Sanders.
But like its American cousin curse, which ended in 2004 when the Red Sox finally won the World Series, the Curse of the Colonel may soon be history, too. Along with it, the Japanese economy may just be set to recover.
Let me explain.
The Hanshin Tigers have traditionally been both the most hapless, and the most fanatically supported, team in Japan. To celebrate its infrequent successes, rowdy fans leap into the polluted Dotonbori Canal in the center of their home city of Osaka.
In 1985, after the team's one and only Japan Series victory, fans most resembling the victorious players were dressed in the corresponding jerseys and encouraged to take the plunge. As the legend goes, one after another jumped into the canal.
Enter a problem. The Tigers had a star player — the bearded, the 6' 1'', 210 pound American slugger named Randy Bass. Not surprisingly, no Tiger fans resembled their hirsute hero.
A solution was quickly found after someone spotted a Colonel Sanders statue outside the local KFC. Since it was the closest likeness to Bass, the Colonel was duly dispatched to the bottom of the canal. Attempts to retrieve it the following day (by more sober fans) ended in vain.
As the Tigers natually resumed their losing ways, their fans began to speak of a Curse of the Colonel: the team would never win another Series until the Colonel was recovered. A local TV station even sent a scuba diver down to retrieve it. Failure of the mission only added to the legend.
Then something strange and wonderful happened.
On March 11, after missing for 24 years, the torso of Colonel Sanders was discovered by divers preparing for construction work on the canal. The following day, with a media chopper buzzing overhead, the lower half was located and raised, to the cheers of the watching crowd. A construction worker on the project told local media it felt more like he was rescuing a person.
With the Colonel back on dry land, Tigers' fans believe the curse has finally been broken. Joy had, indeed, returned to Japan's version of Mudville.
But in this complex country the story — even one as dramatic as this — is never that simple.

Multimodalidad y nuevo puente en "La Glorieta Nacional" « godues. To Curb Driving, Cities Cut Down on Car Parking. Bit by bit, for the past 40 years, the city of Copenhagen has done something revolutionary: The Danish capital has reduced its parking supply. Cutting the total number of parking spaces by a small percentage each year stands in stark contrast to the more common pattern of cities adding more and more parking to accommodate private cars.
But in a few pockets around the world, momentum is growing behind efforts to bump out large parking lots, curbside parking, and garages in favor of services and infrastructure for pedestrians, cyclists, and public transportation. "There's no demand for parking, per se," said parking policy expert Rachel Weinberger, assistant professor of city and regional planning at the University of Pennsylvania.

Brussels, 28 March 2011 Transport 2050: Commission outlines ambitious plan to increase mobility and reduce emissions The European Commission today adopted a comprehensive strategy (Transport 2050) for a competitive transport system that will increase mobility, remove major barriers in key areas and fuel growth and employment. At the same time, the proposals will dramatically reduce Europe's dependence on imported oil and cut carbon emissions in transport by 60% by 2050.
To achieve this will require a transformation in Europe's current transport system. By 2050, key goals will include: Capital looking to end gridlock in five years. By Wang Wei (China Daily) Updated: 2010-12-09 08:01 Beijing has drawn up an ambitious plan to solve its gridlock problem and get traffic moving again.
Liu Qi, the capital's Party chief, said the State Council has approved the city's traffic management plan in principle. The plan aims to relieve traffic jams during the coming five years. The detailed document, which will soon be made public, is understood to include such things as controls on the growing number of cars on city streets, the frequency with which vehicles can be used, planned improvements to public transportation, higher parking charges and the use of an intelligent traffic management system within the Fifth Ring Road.
Berlin and other German cities tighten particulate emissions rules for road vehicles. Germans tighten road vehicle exhaust rules - Three German cities - Berlin, Cologne and Hanover - have introduced "environmental zones" to reduce fine particle emissions from traffic.
Drivers now have to display a coloured sticker on their vehicle to enter the inner city zones. The colour depends on the pollutants the vehicle emits. The cities are gradually phasing in fines of 40 euros (£29;$58) for anyone caught driving without a sticker. Other German cities - but not all - plan to have such zones later in 2008. Advierten que se debe dejar de usar el auto en las ciudades. El arquitecto de las personas. How a planned highway can change a city, even if it never gets built. (1) - By Tom Vanderbilt.
I-478 is a pretty remarkable road: It is, for one thing, the longest tunnel on the U.S.
Interstate Highway System. It's also the longest subaqueous facility. But I-478 conceals its charms; driving on it, there is nothing—not a single red, white, and blue shield—to tell you that you are doing so. Proyecto urbano: ciudades norteamericanas planean reemplazar autopistas por espacios recreativos. Long commutes cause obesity, neck pain, loneliness, divorce, stress, and insomnia. - By Annie Lowrey. This week, researchers at Umea University in Sweden released a startling finding: Couples in which one partner commutes for longer than 45 minutes are 40 percent likelier to divorce.
The Swedes could not say why. Perhaps long-distance commuters tend to be poorer or less educated, both conditions that make divorce more common. Does Driving Cause Obesity? The Checkup - Traffic noise boosts stroke risk. Can traffic noise be deadly?
Well, not quite. But a new study indicates that chronic exposure to noise from cars and trucks can boost the risk for stroke, especially among the elderly. Mette Sørensen, senior researcher at the Institute of Cancer Epidemiology, Danish Cancer Society in Copenhagen, Denmark, and colleagues studied 51,485 people in the Copenhagen and Aarhus areas between 1993 and 1997. For every 10 decibels of noise, the stroke risk increased by 4 percent, they found. Autism: Proximity to freeways increases autism risk, study finds - latimes.com.
Children born to mothers who live close to freeways have twice the risk of autism, researchers reported Thursday.
The study, its authors say, adds to evidence suggesting that certain environmental exposures could play a role in causing the disorder in some children. "This study isn't saying exposure to air pollution or exposure to traffic causes autism," said Heather Volk, lead author of the paper and a researcher at the Saban Research Institute of Children's Hospital Los Angeles. "But it could be one of the factors that are contributing to its increase. " Reported cases of autism cases increased by 57% between 2002 and 2006, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, although professionals still debate whether rates have actually risen or a greater proportion of autistic children is being diagnosed. An estimated 1 in 110 children is diagnosed with autism today.

I got into iChannel a while ago when I was YouTube browsing one bored afternoon. Admittedly, I was skeptical after the first couple of episodes, intrigued by the third and completely sucked in by the fourth.
iChannel basically features a guy from New York who suddenly finds he has an audience viewing his entire life. We never know what the "camera" capturing his every move looks like or why other people are unable to see it but it all adds to the mystery of the show.
Things get even more complicated when friendships, relationships and viewers get involved (yes anybody and everybody has a chance to particpate) but to avoid giving it all away I won't say more then that. Instead, you can watch the first episode yourself.

Inconvenience millions for the sake of a few?Submitted by Commonsensenotc... on Wed, 03/12/2008 - 6:26am.
First, with the exception of airlines and cruise ships, I'm not aware of any other mode of transportation that requires ID. Would you have expected a cab driver to ask Ashley for identification, had she taken a cab to Fayetteville and purchased a ticket on Amtrack....who will allow anyone holding a ticket to board a train without checking any identification?
By placing a requirement to check IDs on bus lines, and to only allow adults to purchase tickets, you accomplish three BAD things:
* You continue to shield children from the simple realities of everyday life until they are adults, never allowing them to learn half of the requirements and expectations that will be thrust upon them. Then, we're shocked when they can't handle simple tasks as adults. Exactly WHEN do we let them grow up? When do we expect them to start behaving responsibly enough to handle something as simple as purchasing a ticket and riding a bus?
* You open up the bus industry to increased litigation. The next time Ashley runs away, Ashley's mom can win the litigation lottery because a ticket agent didn't notice the ID was a good forgery.
* You place new financial requirements upon an industry that doesn't have a very large profit margin to play with. Do you have any idea now much a one-day, on-site training course costs for twenty people...considering only wages and the cost of the trainer? The increased cost of tracking that new training, and any re-certification? Now multiply that to include every ticket agent and driver across the nation because yes, there are still thousands of locales across this country where there is no "ticket agent," per se. You wait for the bus and pay the driver.
The long-distance bus service works fine in this country. There's no need to inconvenience millions of riders and increase costs for everyone involved just because "Ashley ran away."
That's Ashley's problem, not Greyhound's.

I'm a huge Keds fan so it's hard to be disappointed with a pair. They are comfortable, cute, and I wear them almost every day. I am however slightly annoyed that the shoes I bought are not exactly as advertised, as they are not lined with fabric but are purely canvas with a cotton sole. I do find the towel-lined keds much more comfortable and tend to last a lot longer as they have a more flexible sole, but these are near impossible to find. Overall these shoes are a good buy.

The Pope has ordered the closure of a 500-year-old Roman monastery, displacing it's monks after they hosted a performance by a lap-dancer-turned-nun and the famed musician Madonna.
Benedict XVI ordered the closure of the Holy Cross in Jerusalem which is home to prized Roman Catholic Church relics due to "financial and liturgical irregularities", a Vatican spokesman told The Daily Telegraph.
As a result its 20 Cistercian monks are being transferred to monasteries around Italy, after it was revealed their "lifestyles" were "not in keeping" with Church doctrine.
The closure of the monastery marks the end of a religious presence on the site, which dates back five centuries. The historic religious site dates back to 320 AD, when it was founded by the Emperor Constantine, St Helena, who is said to have brought back the relics from the Holy Land.
The monks involved reportedly demonstrated a "questionable behaviour and a lack of moral discipline".
In recent years the monastery was accused of courting wealthy celebrities such as Gloria Estefan and Madonna.
During a visit to Rome in 2008, Madonna performed a concert and meditated in front of the relics.
A former exotic dancer Anna Nobili performed a religious dance for an audience of cardinals and bishops which involved her twirling around a wooden crucifix.
Nobili described herself as a "ballerina for God" after swapping her high heels for a nuns habit and being "reborn" by her new-found faith in God.
An official investigation was ordered by the Pope, known as the Apostolic Visit. The findings were sent to the Congregation for Institutes of Consecrated Life and later the pope ordered the monastery to be closed.
The results in the inquiry were not made public and the Vatican refused to elaborate.
Father Ciro Benedettini, a Vatican spokesman, told the Daily Telegraph the monks had been guilty of "financial irregularities and liturgical abuses".
"Their lifestyles were not in keeping with what one would expect of monks," he added.

text: Now that the Missouri Legislature and the Governor have proposed $2.2-million more for salaries for state child abuse investigators, a House-Senate committee expects to look at how those salaries are being paid. Representative Bill Lant of Pineville tells News Talk KZRG there was supposed to be a process for advancement among those investigators, and it has never developed. "We've got people with 12 or 15 years of service that really aren't making more money than they would with just a year of service. That's really not conducive to keeping employees. We're wanting to look at whether or not the money is going where it's needed the most, or if they need additional allocations." The additional money for the Children's Division is in a budget bill still awaiting action by Governor Nixon.

First, just because it's designed on BSD and ported to Linux later doesn't mean it won't work here. OpenSSH works the exact same way, and the opposite happens all the time, too. The primary reason it's designed on BSD is because of the non-GPL license. Second, there is a very active port, pointed to in Ag's commit, that's different from the Sourceforge version which is ancient. It'd be interesting to know if the past breakage still occurs with this version. > We've had this discussion, and it was determined that the best > thing to do was simply not list libedit as a dependency. Any chance you can point to the old discussion? The only one I can find is here: http://linuxfromscratch.org/pipermail/blfs-dev/2006-March/014048.html Points 4 and 5 are not true using this port: http://www.thrysoee.dk/editline/ Now, I'm still not opposed to keeping it out of the book, but I want to make sure we're on the same page here. -- Dan

From the editors of Condé Nast Traveler:
Dramatically perched on a rock shelf over-looking the stylish Alpine village of Zermatt, the 30-room Omnia coins a new idiom for sky-high Swiss lodgings. After ascending 148 feet in an elevator bored into the rock, you're greeted in the light-filled lobby by a staff outfitted in Marc Jacobs–designed uniforms. American modernism, including the works of Raymond Lowey and Mies van der Rohe, inspired the hotel's warm but streamlined look; and New York–based designer Ali Tayar worked with gray granite, white oak, and custom-designed furniture by the Swiss firm USM Modular to give the rooms—all with balconies—a clean-lined serenity. In addition to two sundecks, the striking fitness center includes an indoor-outdoor pool and an outdoor Jacuzzi with a view of the Matterhorn. Set to open this summer, the hotel bar is a glass-and-steel cube submerged in a pool of water.
2007 Hot ListWhen to go: Zermatt is a world-class ski resort, but it's also a great summer destination.
Which room to book: Request one with a view of the Matterhorn.
Amenities: Bar/lounge, Gym, Pool, Spa
