Octavio Dotel getting interest from Rays, Pirates, Blue Jays
Dec 22, 2010, 2:20 PM EDT
According to Jon Paul Morosi of FOXSports.com the Rays, Pirates, and Blue Jays are among the teams interested in free agent reliever Octavio Dotel. Pittsburgh being in the mix is interesting, because the Pirates signed Dotel to a one-year, $3.5 million deal as a free agent last offseason and then traded him to the Dodgers…
Driver who killed Nick Adenhart sentenced to 51 years-to-life in prison

Andrew Gallo, the driver who killed Angels' pitcher Nick Adenhart has been sentenced to 51 years-to-life in prison. In addition to Adenhart, Gallo killed Adenhart's friends Courtney Frances Stewart and Henry Pearson and critically injured a fourth victim, Jon Wilhite.

Winningest pitchers of decades that happened to touch the 1980s
Dec 22, 2010, 1:25 PM EDT
This morning I noted how random and misleading it was to give credit to Jack Morris for being the winningest pitcher of the 1980s. After reading it, my friend Ethan suggested that I try to figure out who the winningest pitchers were for decades that happened to intersect with the 1980s. So I did. Here…
Mariners asking for "an impact bat" in deal for David Aardsma
Dec 22, 2010, 12:45 PM EDT
Responding to speculation that Colorado is interested in Seattle closer David Aardsma, Thomas Harding of MLB.com writes that "multiple sources with knowledge of both teams told MLB.com that the Mariners are in search of an impact bat and there isn't a fit with the Rockies." Of course, the definition of "an impact bat" probably varies…
Buster Olney's Hall of Fame ballot is unique
Dec 22, 2010, 12:00 PM EDT
Buster Olney's Hall of Fame selections are buried in his column today. He doesn't explain his picks there, but I think it's safe to say that no one will have a ballot quite like his: Roberto Alomar, Rafael Palmeiro, Tim Raines, Jack Morris, Jeff Bagwell, and Mark McGwire. There's obviously no PED stigma for Olney (which he has explained in…

Rosenthal notes that Blanton and Pavano have had similar results and reports that the Nationals are among at…
A third option for the Orioles at first base
Dec 22, 2010, 11:00 AM EDT
The Orioles have a three-year $21 million offer on the table to Adam LaRoche. For reasons that remain unclear, he has not jumped at it yet. Realizing that maybe going three-years on LaRoche isn't the best idea, they have reportedly contacted Derrek Lee, who may be amenable to a one-year deal. Makes sense. Know what…

Meet Malaysia's first female mixed martial artist

Katsav shook hands on Friday with Syrian President Bashar al-Asad, the second time initiated by al-Asad, his office said.
Katsav said al-Asad sat one row behind him during the service. When he turned to shake hands with the nearby Swiss leader, "the Syrian president also stood there. We exchanged smiles and shook hands," Katsav told the website of the Maariv daily.
"During the prayers, according to the Christian tradition we exchanged handshakes. During this, it was the Syrian president who extended his hand to me and we again shook hands," he said.
The Iranian-born Katsav says he also spoke briefly with Iranian President Muhammad Khatami in Farsi.
Katsav said as he was leaving, "the Iranian president held his hand out to me. I shook his hand and greeted him in Farsi."
Handshake denied
But Khatami has "strongly denied" the reports, the official Iranian news agency Irna reported on Saturday.
"These allegations are false like all the other allegations (by the Israeli media) and I have not had any meeting with a personality from the Zionist regime," Khatami was quoted as saying.
"I strongly deny shaking hands, meeting and talking to the Israeli president," Khatami told Irna after his return from Italy.
Media reports said the men conversed about Yazd, the city in central Iran where both men were born. Israel accuses Syria and Iran of backing Palestinian resistance fighters in the West Bank and Gaza Strip.
Israel has also been a leading critic of Iran's nuclear programme. Katsav also reportedly embraced Algerian President Abd al-Aziz Butaflika, Israel Radio reported. Israel does not have relations with any of the above countries.

One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest
From the critics
Community Activity
CommentAdd a Comment
One of those books that couldn't be approached by the movie, Kesey did it so well. The best Ken Kesey ever wrote. Great book. Even if you saw the movie, you'll love it.
"One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest" is told from the point of view of 'Chief' Bromden, a towering, half Native American man stuck in an Oregon psychiatric hospital. Bromden observes the daily lives of the other patients, and watches as they passively suffer under the supposed 'leadership' of their main provider, Nurse Ratched. The patients' normally uneventful lives are quickly ruffled by the arrival of a new patient, the loud and boisterous Randle McMurphy, who quickly has them questioning the iron rule of Nurse Ratched. As things in the hospital become more and more tense, Bromden is soon roped into McMurphy's schemes.
This novel is an extremely enjoyable read. While "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest" does start off slow, it quickly picks up and never slows down again. The characters are all unique and believable, and each one's illness is well-researched. Each character helps to bring out the best and worst of the other characters, creating an interesting group dynamic. The plot is funny yet serious, as it deals with real issues of the time period and setting in a darkly humorous way. The mental hospital is an interesting setting, as it feels both spacious and cramped, and helps to bring across messages and ideas without them being forwardly said.
Overall, the author of this review highly recommends "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest". It would make a great essay book or 'book talk' book, as it has lots of symbolism and deeper meanings. The author of this review believes this novel to be suitable for ages fourteen and up.
The characters were engaging and strong. The writing style was unique and intriguing. It reflects the psychedelic era of the 1960s. I really enjoyed reading this and it stuck with me.
This book was pretty sane for being crazy. I liked this book, though I struggled in trying to finish it because it brought to life some of my fears of being branded insane and it showed life from the patients' point of view. I thought Chief was relatable and had interesting character development, seeming to grow and ;get bigger' as the story went on. I actually understand some of the deeper meanings behind his references, which is wasn't expecting from this book. The only part that got me really confused was the night he didn't take his pills and dreamed that the ward got dropped into a dungeon where machines strung up people. That was a little strange for my tastes. I hated Miss Ratched and loved McMurphy. The ending took me completely by surprise, and I loved and hated it as well. All around good, interesting read.
An eye opening but amazing novel. It was a little rough at some parts, however, the overall quality of this book cannot be denied. McMurphy, the protagonist, not only has his own limits put to the test, but his friends are also tempted and tested as well, making this novel's protagonist seem more whole than many others. Kesey has done an amazing job not only giving the audience an amazing story, but also a very waking picture of mental institutions of the time.
In spite of being fictional and outdated, it still exposes the criminality and perversity of the racket/cult of psychiatry.
I'm sure this is a great book, but I'm unable to download from Amazon who thinks I have the book and will only let me return it...even though I've never downloaded it. Disappointing.
Coming out of a drowsy fog, you meet Chief and his surroundings inside an assylum somewhere close to Portland, Oregon in the 60s/70s where shock therapy and lobotomies are the norm. Until McMurphy shows up with his outgoing, charismatic personality to show the man (in case Nurse Ratched) who's in charge. Follow the fast-talking McMurphy as he gains friendship and allies, while on the loose. But watchout the Nurse is watching and you don't think for a minute she is going to let it slide. Loved how the story was told from the Chief's POV.
I picked up this book expecting to really like it. I was interested in the subject of past-time mental hospitals and after reading, I'm very aware of this book's literary value. Nevertheless, I didn't enjoy reading it. The perspective it's told through makes some events difficult to grasp and the book overall is quite dark.

Jay Dubin's work and career in 3D digital imagery and animation are a lesson in the value of unconventional approaches, and his work with Honda is a prime example. Honda has repeatedly turned to Jay's hyper-realistic creations to promote the next season's hottest vehicles and watercraft at tradeshows, on television, and in print. In discussing the work he did to promote Honda's Big Ruckus scooter and the HW5 watercraft, Jay shared some of his unconventional and innovative CINEMA 4D tricks and techniques and also shed a little light on his far-from-ordinary background.
Live action techniques used in animation
The scooter project began with a high-security delivery of the not-yet-released vehicle to Jay's garage. While Jay occasionally receives CATIA files or sketches, this was one of the many projects where he was asked to create digital images from scratch. Jay went at the scooter with a pair of calipers, measuring every last bolt and washer. Hand measurement was the fastest and most reliable method given the nature of the product. Unlike most scooters, the Big Ruckus does not have a sleek body, but instead sports a hip, stripped-down look that leaves various functional parts exposed. "You can't really 3D-scan something like this because it has so many parts," Jay points out. "You'd just get a jumble. If there's a big smooth object like a car body, it works, but not with something like this."
This sort of detailed measurement, however, is nothing new for Jay. For years, he has restored motorcycles and has often had to carefully measure, sculpt, and cast fiberglass parts when new parts weren't available. In fact, his love of motorcycles is what led to his first Honda project. A colleague saw images of the motorcycles Jay had created for fun and eventually showed the work to Honda's advertising agency, sparking a now-longstanding relationship.
Honda's Big Ruckus on the virtual drawing board of MAXON's CINEMA 4D. The variety of exposed parts on this
scooter made the animation a particular challenge.
(Click image for a larger view)
In re-creating the Big Ruckus, Jay worked for nearly three weeks, producing a level of detail that he admits was "overdone for a moving image." The images were created entirely in CINEMA 4D using a Mac. In addition to photorealistic details, Jay also created scripts using CINEMA 4D's XPRESSO module to animate the springs on the suspension arms. The result: with every twist and turn in the road, the scooter's suspension bounces realistically.
Although the project was completed before Jay upgraded his computer, even the old one was capable of very reasonable rendering times. He estimates that the 15MB file "probably took 10 to 15 minutes to render." He quickly adds, however, that "on the new computer in high def—15 seconds a frame in full high def—rendering time is now really fast."
As the scooter project developed, it became clear that Jay would have to do more than create a simple clip. Honda's agency proposed showing the scooter on a cross-country trip on which it would pass American landmarks. To carry out the task, a few homegrown techniques reduced working time.
A still from the final animation which shows Honda's Big Ruckus passing landmarks and monuments on a cross-country tour.
While animating, he created an 80K proxy made of cubes and circles and added it to the high-resolution file. "I could play with it, I could program it, and then when I got all the moves right, I'd switch the full-resolution version on," explains Jay.
Another technique drew on his unconventional background. An experienced live action director, Jay created a virtual studio in CINEMA 4D, adding the scooter, the 2D backgrounds, and several animation cameras. He then added one last camera, which allowed him to view everything else in the virtual studio. "It was like sitting up on a scaffold in a corner of the studio, looking down on everything else," Jay recalls. "I kept one window open in the view plane with a view of the whole studio, so I could see the scooter, the flats, the cameras, and where the lights were. Then I could switch to any of the camera views."
Building a watercraft from only photos
In many instances, Jay does not have the luxury of taking detailed hand measurements. Jay began the watercraft project by taking a dozen photos, with the expectation of later measuring the watercraft carefully. Logistical complications, however, made it impossible to see the watercraft again, so he only had the photos to work from.

(Click image for a larger view)
Fortunately, the photos were all that Jay needed to create a 2MB photorealistic image in CINEMA 4D. Knowing a second look at a product may not always be possible, Jay takes a small scale with him. His scale is a small stick with alternating black and white strips marked off in fractions of inches. He attaches the scale to the product with double-sided tape and begins photographing. He also has the same scale in CINEMA 4D. Once the virtual scale aligns to the scale in the photo, he has accurate measurements to work with. When a client springs a surprise viewing of a product on him, he simply uses a dollar bill—because of its unvarying size—to replace his usual scale.

Conventional or not, Jay's background and methods have served him well. In fact, his unique perspective from his work in live action has often been an advantage, as has his willingness to experiment with unconventional approaches. Jay continues to work for Honda and other clients creating hyper-realistic images and animations. Next time you see a Honda ad, look closely. It may not be as real as it appears, thanks to the work of Jay Dubin and CINEMA 4D.

Ultrasonic/electronic pest control????
I know there has been much discussion on this subject, but I was wondering about the cheaper units such as the Sunbeam that can be purchased from Wal Mart. Do they work through the wiring in your home also? How big of an area do they cover? I haven't found this info on the package. As for the Riddex on QVC, how long do they last? Is it better to buy several of the smaller units, or a few of the larger ones? If they don't work through the furniture, how can a unit like riddex cover 2000 sq ft? I would very much like to hear from those who have these units about what works best. Your replies will be very much appreciated.
I got the one from QVC and it didn't work. Not at all, the mice ignored it. I read after there is no conclusive proof that any of these units work as the manufacturers claim. But my parents have one and swear by it. All I can say is buyer beware and have a backup plan.
saw those little Sunbeam plug-in units next to the indoor ant bait things... bought one, no more kitchen counter ants in one area - bought two more as they seemed such a deal at about the same price as the ant hotels - now there's three in the kitchen and not an ant to be seen in several months.
Took me probably three months to become accustomed to the capacitor discharge 'clicks'. Was a little annoying at first.
Label says chases away spiders too ... yet I still get spiders.
I bought the ones at Home Depot for the cottage. One has a night light the other not. I have seen a few lady bugs and spiders, but they just sit there not moving or are dead. I am liking them. Plan on buying some for the house here.
Kathy G in MI
I hear they only work 'line-of-sight'. I have mine installed "on" the wall that the mice were "in". Haven't had a single critter in the walls since.
HOWEVER, they don't work worth a darn on bugs. I still have periodic problems with ladybugs, wasps and ants.
I live in a really old house that has lots of ways for critters to get in the walls (life on the farm). My dad bought some of the electronic\ultrasonic units. He swears by them. I couldn't tell they did a dang thing. In fact, we used an outdoor electrical cord and ran it to the birdfeeder to see if we could chase the squirrels away from the bird food. My Havahart trap was more successful. The squirrels didn't even know the ultrasonic unit existed.
I'm with Dr J.
I asked a pest management expert who teaches at our extension office (with emphasis on environmentally-friendly pest control methods).
He said the only thing these contraptions keep down is your bank balance.
Not sure what pests you have but I've had luck with leaving cucumber skins (which just shrivel up and dry - no rotting) in ant-traffic areas. (Unless it was pure coincidence that they all went away at that time).
I've also heard that ants hate cinnamon but you'd have to powder that around entrance areas.
Heh heh, well actually I can't recall any smell in relation to the cucumbers, but then I didn't pile them on very thickly :)
Just a few around the doors to the porch. Sure wouldn't want them in the middle of the living room.
Haven't tried the cinnamon, myself, but I would imagine the smell is rather pleasant :)
Certainly better than Raid...
There's a critter in the attic! Either a mouse or rat, not sure which -- I found a cardboard box with a corner that had been nibbled. THEN - a few days ago, I saw him on my screened-in patio. Haven't seen in him in the house yet (knock on wood!), but I went to HD and spent about 60 bucks on the electronic pest repellers (Black & Decker). One of them (the big one) cost $30. It makes a really irritating noise but I put it in the attic so I can only hear it in the garage (where the attic entry is). The 3 smaller ones I've put in various locations throughout the house, but, my question is the same as Don_na_na -- If they don't work through the furniture, how can it cover 2000 sq ft? Most of my electrical outlets are hidden behind furniture and my attic is full of boxes and stuff! There are so many reports on these devices, both postive and negative, who do you believe? I read one report by an alleged 'test lab' that said there's no way these work; the noise when first turned on may startle them a bit but they get used to the noise and it doesn't bother them anymore. I really don't want to go the D-Con route and risk having dead critters in the wall - or deal with removing them once their dead! YUK!!!! I wonder what the professional exterminators use? Does the peppermint oil thing work for mice and rats? So many questions!!
My experience has been both interesting and intriguing. I put one in our bathroom to get rid of spiders. But the spiders seemed perfectly content and not bothered. I called the manufacturer to tell them their product didn't work. I was told to "give it time" because the device works by interrupting their feeding cycle (I thought it just repelled them). Sure enough a week later, dead spiders. I also have dry-wood termites in that same bathroom. (The pest control professionals have not been able to eliminate them.) In my climate, dry-wood termites only swarm in the spring, but soon, we started seeing swarms in the bathroom in August, September and October. About every 7 - 10 days, we'd find a dozen or more dead termites (with wings still intact) on the bathroom floor. When I called my pest control company, they laughed at me - since termites don't swarm in the late summer/early fall here, but they sent a technician out and he confirmed - termites. I haven't seen any since October, and am now waiting to see if they will reappear in the April to June swarming season.
I have probably 12 of these units. My house sits right up against the woods and we have a huge problem with spiders, ants, lizards, moths, etc. We haven't see any rodents but we are seeing everything else you can imagine so I personally don't feel they work as well as advertised.
Well, folks I don't know what to say except that since I put two in our six room cape style home and one in our garage I've only seen two spiders in four years. Or any other crawling critter for that matter. Couldn't say if it works for mice as we've never had a mouse problem. We have one in our bathroom, one in our basement and one in our garage. Say what you will - spiders and crawly things just don't come around. Outside they can have all the room they want in my garden but, in my house, they aren't welcome.
Sorry, a true believer here. I live next to an open field and am inundated with meeces when the weather turns cold. None for the last three years since we've had the plug in thingies.
Not a mouse in the house when we started using them at the cabin and none when our neighbors used them. I'm not a fan of spidies but I'd rather pick up their bodies than have them web down before my bright little eyes while I'm reading a book. No spiders either.
Maybe I'm lucky but the plug ins worked for me in three homes....well, four, counting my parents, who introduced us to them.
I can only relate what I saw just this morning.
I have an old carriage house in my backyard that had become a boarding house for raccoons, possums and woodchucks. It had gotten so bad that I didn't go in my backyard at all last year.
I bought one of these items and placed it near the entrance of my carriage house. In the wee hours this morning, I kept hearing a commotion in my yard. I look out and at first, I didn't see anything but as I looked closer, I could see a raccoon trying to get into the carriage house but every time it started to approach, the sensor would kick on and it obviously was bothered by it. Then I saw what the commotion was. A second raccoon had somehow made it in closer and was trying to get to the other raccoon but would trip the sensor whenever it moved. Finally, it made a mad dash for the first raccoon and they both stood and watched the unit for a couple of minutes before moving on to the neighbor's yard.
The one I bought is called Yard Guard and can run on AC or batteries. I am ordering three more today!

Thank you to all the people who are voting for us on Digg, but we need more votes. Within 24hrs, we've had nearly 2,000 downloads, but less than fifty Diggs, that means only one in forty is voting. It's even less on Reddit and SlashDot! As I write this, Robert is in tears and threatening to do evil things to kittens and puppies.
The more votes we get on Digg/Reddit/Slashdot, the more exposure we can get for Full Circle magazine. The more exposure we get, the more new readers, and possibly converts, we get. So come on people, vote! VOTE!
So, no excuses, here's the links:

Travel Blogs from Palermo
The bottom of Italy's boot
... Sicilian coastline. Palermo was hyped to be the bees knees. After parking in a not so bees kneesy' aire costing 18euros we headed into town. Palermo has a dusty and somewhat dingy fa�ade apparently evidence of its dodgy past with mafia running around. With a walk around town we did get to visit the nice cathedral, a few piazzas and a stinky fish market. Dinner did improve the overall impression, as Sicily is the home of Laura's favourite ...
Arena in Syracuse
The arena in Syracuse was a round center for games much like the Colosseum. It was the second largest to the Colosseum and was used for a variety of things such as chariot races and gladiatorial fights. The seats would have gone up to about as tall as the trees (see picture for details). In the center of the arena is a large hole with two beams sticking up. During ...
Greek/ Roman Amphitheater
It is believed that this theater began as a Greek theater and later was transformed into a Roman one. This is evident in the style the theater was built (point toward Greek) and the brick work (pointing toward Roman). It is quite an impressive structure because the center of the stage is open and you can see to the sea. The Romans conquered Sicily during its conquests and came across this theater. They then restored it ...
Capella Palatina
The Capella Palatina is a chapel in the Palazzo Reale in Palermo, Sicily. It was built by Arab workers and paid for by Norman Kings. It is in traditional style of most churches during the era. There is a long rectangular area (aisle) and then a smaller area at the end which is covered by a dome. In the aisle, the ceiling is made of ornate wood carvings. The carving had paintings, painted on cloth, ...

SYBR Green I: Fluorescence Properties and Interaction with DNA.
Summary of "SYBR Green I: Fluorescence Properties and Interaction with DNA."
In this study, we have investigated the fluorescence properties of SYBR Green I (SG) dye and its interaction with double-stranded DNA (dsDNA). SG/dsDNA complexes were studied using various spectroscopic techniques, including fluorescence resonance energy transfer and time-resolved fluorescence techniques. It is shown that SG quenching in the free state has an intrinsic intramolecular origin; thus, the observed >1,000-fold SG fluorescence enhancement in complex with DNA can be explained by a dampening of its intra-molecular motions. Analysis of the obtained SG/DNA binding isotherms in solutions of different ionic strength and of SG/DNA association in the presence of a DNA minor groove binder, Hoechst 33258, revealed multiple modes of interaction of SG inner groups with DNA. In addition to interaction within the DNA minor groove, both intercalation between base pairs and stabilization of the electrostatic SG/DNA complex contributed to increased SG affinity to double-stranded DNA. We show that both fluorescence and the excited state lifetime of SG dramatically increase in viscous solvents, demonstrating an approximate 200-fold enhancement in 100 % glycerol, compared to water, which also makes SG a prospective fluorescent viscosity probe. A proposed structural model of the SG/DNA complex is compared and discussed with results recently reported for the closely related PicoGreen chromophore.

Green Fluorescent Proteins
Protein analogs and derivatives of the Aequorea victoria green fluorescent protein that emit light (FLUORESCENCE) when excited with ULTRAVIOLET RAYS. They are used in REPORTER GENES in doing GENETIC TECHNIQUES. Numerous mutants have been made to emit other colors or be sensitive to pH.
Spectrometry, Fluorescence
Measurement of the intensity and quality of fluorescence.
Algae, Green
Algae of the division Chlorophyta, in which the green pigment of CHLOROPHYLL is not masked by other pigments. Green algae have over 7000 species and live in a variety of primarily aquatic habitats. Only about ten percent are marine species, most live in freshwater. They are more closely related to the green vascular land PLANTS than any other group of algae.
Flow Cytometry
Technique using an instrument system for making, processing, and displaying one or more measurements on individual cells obtained from a cell suspension. Cells are usually stained with one or more fluorescent dyes specific to cell components of interest, e.g., DNA, and fluorescence of each cell is measured as it rapidly transverses the excitation beam (laser or mercury arc lamp). Fluorescence provides a quantitative measure of various biochemical and biophysical properties of the cell, as well as a basis for cell sorting. Other measurable optical parameters include light absorption and light scattering, the latter being applicable to the measurement of cell size, shape, density, granularity, and stain uptake.
An analytical method for detecting and measuring FLUORESCENCE in compounds or targets such as cells, proteins, or nucleotides, or targets previously labeled with FLUORESCENCE AGENTS.

Hard to swallow, may have to spit this one out.
Another stupid person(s) to point out per my New Year's resolution.
I was eating my lunch today with a friend of mine in a crowded bistro. The fellow next to us was reading out loud to his table mate the virtues of Obama's economic stimulus package from his newspaper. Both these gentlemen were excited about the prospects of tax relief and the immediate impact to the economy. These fellows are dyed in the wool Obama supporters and they were gushing about the proposal as if it were revolutionary and just what we need to get the country started in the right direction again. They actually said, "Damn George Bush!" Amazing. (Didn't W send us all $500 or $1000 checks last summer?)
How does it taste to you, America?
Obama's plan is for a two year tax relief that amounts to $500 per worker or $1000 per couple for each year. Depending on the number of paychecks you get, either 24 or 26, this amounts to roughly $20 per check for a single. Let's see, that buys about 10 or 11 gallons of gas (at today's price) every couple of weeks. Or about 8 coffees at Starbucks. Or a round of drinks for a few friends. Maybe a box of condoms, a six pack of Keystone Light and some mints. Might cover the co-pay for a doctors visit (might not). Covers the cost of a month's supply of birth control pills. Good for 5 beers at a Piston's game. I can get half a new bra at Victoria's Secret or a week's worth of thongs.
Now I don't mean to sound like I won't accept the money. I will of course. But let's be real. Is $10 bucks a week gonna cause you to go out and spend our way out of recession? Is it going to make a dent in your credit card or mortgage payment? Is it going to restore consumer confidence? Anyone rushing out to buy an American car with the extra $40 a month? Maybe with all those rebates GM and Ford are throwing around you can get one for $40 a month (get real folks).
Who is the stupid person here? I will let you decide.

About this location
The Ionian Islands region
The island of Corfu is located just off the West coast of Greece. Corfu enjoys a mild Mediterranean climate along with excellent beaches making it a popular destination for holiday makers. Corfu is very green compared to other Greek islands: hot and dry summers along with winter rain creates lush vegetation which is dominated by over 2 million olive trees. These olive trees on Corfu are the main cultivation, although Corfu's tourism now provides the most income.
Many overlook Corfu thinking that it has become spoiled by tourism. Thankfully, this is not the case. There are many quiet areas where you can enjoy a traditional Greek island holiday; little beaches and coves all to yourself, or a visit into the mountain villages where there is no sign of tourism!
Kaminaki, located on Corfu's north-east coastline is spectacularly beautiful, but has remained uniquely unspoilt in spite of its celebrity-status. Kaminaki is one of the small and enchanting bays that stud this coastline like jewels on a necklace. Still only a hamlet, with village houses occupied by their original local inhabitants, it has a mixture of modern and converted accommodation, two unpretentious tavernas (and others within easy reach), and water of Caribbean colours that laps against a gently shelving beach of pure white pebbles and sand.

James, beyond BBQ and grilling, are you planning of focusing your menu anymore than that? Regional American, Across America, BBQ Meccas, Texan etc...or are you gonna be more across the board?
I did recently have a brilliant salad, I do not have the exact recipe, but, this is what I think.
1 cup arugula leaves, cleaned
1/4 cup Mache leaves, cleaned
6 to 7 halves of roasted walnut halves
light dressing of greens with a sweet vinnaigrette (it tastes like white balsamic vinegar to be honest)
1 grilled peach, cut in section and grilled on one side only
3 or 4 curls of Parmigianno Regianno or Grana Padano
The peaches were grilled just to warm, but, no more than that. They still tastes sweet and fresh. The dressing really tastes like a high quality white balsamic, but, it could have been a simple French vinnaigratte with some sugar added.
the meat thermometer was so far past the top reading, it read Taylor
"perhaps...but then again...maybe not..."

Ewen McKenzie goes back to drawing board
August 25, 2013

Wallabies coach Ewen McKenzie is considering changes to his team and tactics alike after a second consecutive disappointment against the All Blacks.
McKenzie stuck by all his fit troops after the 47-29 defeat at ANZ Stadium in Sydney, but he wouldn't promise that he'd keep the faith for a second time after New Zealand retained the Bledisloe Cup for an 11th successive season. The All Blacks weathered an early storm before dominating the final 50 minutes to defeat the Wallabies 27-16 at Westpac Stadium in Wellington on Saturday.
"We'll go back to the drawing board and have a look," McKenzie said in Wellington, knowing the Wallabies face South Africa on Saturday week at their happy Brisbane hunting ground, Suncorp Stadium, where they have consistently run the big Springboks pack off their feet. "Different game, different opposition next time; we'll have a look and maybe play the game a bit differently."
The Wallabies deployed a game plan in Wellington that involved more tactical kicking, having been punished for running too much and passing too laterally in Bledisloe I. McKenzie was happy with the run-kick balance in the first half, as well as with the blend of width and penetration in attack, as the Wallabies created a host of try-scoring opportunities which they frustratingly failed to finish. But he accepted there was too much aimless kicking in the second half, while the scrum was dismantled and the lineout fell apart.
"I think we advanced in the balance of the game but the error-rate - in different areas and different people [to the first Test] - made it hard to sustain pressure," McKenzie said. "We didn't make any progress there but we did make progress in the flow of the game."
Fullback Jesse Mogg and tight-head prop Ben Alexander appear to be the players under most pressure to keep their place while five-eighth Matt Toomua, who played solidly, is under pressure from Quade Cooper.
Cooper has played some of his best Test rugby against South Africa, but he does not appear to offer the attacking threat that he did before his knee reconstruction in late 2011. Cooper played the final 23 minutes off the bench in Wellington, but rarely took the ball to the line and challenge the defence, preferring to kick and pass.
McKenzie denied Cooper was burdened mentally by a lack of confidence in his knee. "He's fine," the coach said. "I think he's trying to fit into [a game plan]. It depends what part of the field we're at. We have some specific ideas, and he's trying to fit into that space."
The Springboks will head to Australia after back-to-back victories over Argentina, but were pushed all the way in recording a 22-17 win in Mendoza on Saturday.

Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
A year of many changes in agriculture sector
Looking back, it's been an extraordinarily busy year on the farm and food file, with changes to the structure and substance of farm policy in Canada so dramatic, the effects may take years to sink in.
The change that captured all the headlines -- the move to open marketing for wheat, barley and durum produced in Western Canada -- may or may not prove to be the most significant, given everything else that is taking place.
While all that was going on, there was some fundamental restructuring of farm supports and regulatory protection for farmers put into play that might give farmers a rude awakening when prices fall or a crop failure strikes.
Farmers and two levels of government cost-share a farm-support program called AgriStability, a sort of insurance plan that shelters them from sudden downturns in the value of their crops. It's a complicated formula that is designed to guarantee them a sizable portion of their average returns based on their farm's historical financial performance. Until 2012, farmers were able to insure 85 per cent of their farm's reference margin, which is based on the value of sales.
But with commodity prices soaring in recent years, program administrators could see a worrisome scenario looming. Farmers were building up some whopping reference margins, big enough that if prices dropped, they could be eligible for program payouts even if their farms remained in a profitable position.
Plus, there was evidence to suggest this level of risk-sharing was prompting farmers to over-extend themselves by bidding up the price of farmland.
That's a classic manifestation of "moral hazard," and many farm leaders were prepared for an increase in program premiums from 15 per cent to 30 per cent. But a second adjustment caught them by surprise. Governments also changed the payment eligibility criteria, so farmers are compensated based on the lesser of their reference margin or allowable expenses.
In most situations, that means the farmer is only able to insure to recover 70 per cent of his or her eligible expenses, rather than 85 per cent of the farm's average sales.
That shifts a large measure of the risk of marketplace downturns back onto farmers' plates and farm leaders were none too happy about it. One can hope farm-gate prices will keep going up, which would make all this moot, but every grain-price boom in the past has always been followed by a downturn.
Plus, 2012 was the year the Canadian Grain Commission celebrated its 100th anniversary. That celebration however, coincided with a major government-ordered overhaul, moving it away from its historic role as a regulator and defender of farmers against the "big, bad grain trade" and toward a less intrusive role as the keeper of Canada's export grain-quality reputation.
Oh, and by the way, it's moving to 91 per cent cost recovery instead of the current 50-50 split government and industry share right now. That means the fees it charges for its services will rise an average of 44 per cent, prompting a spirited debate on whether some of those mandatory services should be made voluntary.
The CGC is also getting out of the business of licensing grain buyers, which ensured farmers weren't left hanging by grain brokers who bought grain and then went broke before they paid for it. Although there are plans to replace the system, it will likely be in the form of an insurance plan paid for by farmers, not the grain commission or companies.
In other changes, federal agencies are no longer monitoring whether fertilizer products actually work. The responsibility for pedigreed seed field inspections is being off-loaded onto seed growers, and there is ongoing talk of making the seed-variety registration process less restrictive -- a move many argue could cause long-term damage to Canada's reputation for quality.
The one regulation announced in 2012 that actually increases the government's role was the long-awaited introduction of legislation designed to give rail shippers the ability to hold the railways accountable for poor service. To get that, grain shippers worked with other rail shippers across Canada, who all had the same complaints with the railway's performance.
All in all, these changes send a clear message to farmers, who have traditionally alternated between portraying an image of independent business operators or victims of circumstances beyond their control when it comes to environmental disasters or low prices.
