Posted: November 23, 2009
Most chefs will tell you that the shellfish section in a hotel/restaurant kitchen is probably their favourite. I never cease to marvel at the wonderful creatures that land on our kitchen boards each day, from as near as the local market to as far as Scotland, France, the U.S., Australia or Japan. Especially the fresh King prawn, Banana Prawn, Giant Mud Crab, Flower Crab, Giant Catfish, Sea bass and Snapper coming from the Andaman Sea and Mekong River on the Northeastern border of Thailand.
My love of seafood is fueled, first and foremost, by the sheer pleasure of eating all of the sublime things that live in water. I love the sensual pleasure involved in the handling and preparation, and then in the eating of all foods, but especially fish and shellfish. I find seafood particularly delightful because of its beautiful textures and sweetness.
We buy shellfish in substantial quantities and only the best quality. We also even have a fish tanks, just to be assured that the seafood is truly fresh.
I look to enhance the delicate flavours and textures of these creatures with simple poaching, steaming, quick pan-frying or just naturally raw with fleur de sel, freshly squeezed lime juice and extra virgin olive oil.
So for those who are big seafood lovers, please come to The Colonnade to indulge in my "Fruit de Mer" promotion with a huge selection of imported Black mussels, with various preparations, and a sumptuous seafood platter with great mounds of colorful claws and shells arriving heaped on a wire stand, along with crab pickers, nutcrackers, pins for the winkles, and a fingerbowl. Extracting "uncontrollable" tidbits from the shells is messy work, but that's part of the fun. The hard-earned morsels are then eaten with mayonnaise, shallot-flavored vinaigrette, thinly sliced grilled sour dough bread, and perhaps with plenty of chilled white or rose wine too.
Thank you.

Dog Bladder Cancer
Dog Bladder Cancer
The bladder is the most common site for Dog Cancer in dogs than in any another organ of the urinary tract. Currently responsible for only 1% of all forms of cancer in canines, the rate of bladder cancer in dogs has risen over 200% within the last 10 years.
Most Common Type of Bladder Cancer in Dogs
The most prominent form of this cancer is known as invasive transitional cell carcinoma, or TCC. TCC tends to affect the trigobe, which is the neck area of the bladder. A malignant tumor is found near this location, obstructing the flow of urine from the ureters into the bladder. Though it generally begins in the bladder, TCC can spread to the lungs, liver, kidneys, and other vital organs. Most dogs have a poor outlook by the time this bladder cancer is diagnosed.
Causes of Bladder Cancer
There is no exact cause of any form of bladder cancer in dogs. As far as TCC is concerned, some of the links may include genetic predisposition, hydrocarbons, and environmental influences. A few breeds are more susceptible to getting TCC than others, such as the Beagle, Wire Fox Terrier, and West Highland White Terrier. Certain Dog Fleas and tick shampoos and medications have been thought to cause some forms of bladder cancer in dogs as well. Secondhand smoke, which is found to be a cause for TCC in humans, may also be a reason for the bladder cancer found in canines.
Signs and Symptoms
The symptoms of bladder cancer all are noticed within the process of urination. Hematuria, which is a brownish or bloody tint to the urine, is a common sign that something is wrong with the bladder or surrounding organs. Other symptoms include Dog Increased Urination, difficulty or pain while urinating, and inadequate responses to antibiotics when treated for a urinary tract infection.
Diagnosis of Bladder Cancer in Dogs
A bladder cancer diagnosis is typically confirmed with a series of test performed on the dog. A complete medical history will be completed, as well as a physical examination. X-rays and ultrasounds can be performed to check for tumors within the bladder. Analysis of the urine may also be done to check for blood cells, bacteria, and crystals. A cystoscopy made also be conducted, which involves inserting a scope into the urinary tract for an internal look at the bladder.
Treatment Options
Radiation therapy is a form of treatment for bladder cancer in dogs that can sometimes be effective. It can assist with controlling the growth of a tumor. However, there are side effects, such as irritation to nearby organs as well as damage to the tissues in the bladder. Because of the possible harm, most vets treat the condition with medication. Chemotherapy and NSAID's are the most common forms of this therapy. Chemo is very invasive on the dog's body, and can cause problems with bone marrow production as well as toxicity in the kidneys and intestines. For this reason, NSAID's are the most successful method of treatment for bladder cancer in dogs.

looking for team to bandwagon, pls help
"I don't know if people know I dislocated my pinkie finger. And [Tyreke] told me, 'You wanna go home or you wanna be here?' I want to be here. And he said, 'All right, then go tape it up and let's play. Let's go. We not stoppin' at no stores. Straight gas. That's what we do, just keep going.'"
My Anthony Davis website: http://thebrow.uphero.com/
Not sure about other carriers but with Cox, up until last season if you were in the viewing area, it would be on Cox but blacked out on NBATV. On the Hornets schedule it has Fox Sports NOLA listed as the local station. My guide on the channel that I THINK will be FSNO is saying they'll be showing a Mavs @ Jazz game.
Hopefully if Charter don't have their act together by then Charter viewers will at least be able to watch it on NBATV.
This sounds soooo doggone promising. How nice would it be if this guy can stay healthy?"He looks better every day," Williams said of Gordon. "His body is strong. Probably not in the kind of game shape he wants to be in, but you couldn't tell it by the way he played today. We ran a few plays for end-of-game and he knocked those shots down. He was dynamic in pick-and-roll and he was giving guys a lot of trouble on defense with his pressure.
He needs to get into game shape though.
Now I do voice overs. Finally!
Click here for my first voice demo!
Ill have to go back the old connect the computer to the tv trick. Bringing me back to Dish Network days.
I think Gordon is one player who shouldn't have to practice. He is straight glass I would hate to lose him for the season because he gets injured in practice. I mean no walk throughs or anything just let him watch. Just long as he's healthy for the game I'm fine with that.
New Orleans Hornets taking cautious approach toward injured forward Jason Smith
http://www.nola.com/hornets/index.ss..._river_defaultThe New Orleans Hornets have not ruled out injured power forward Jason Smith from playing in Wednesday night's opener against the San Antonio Spurs, but they continue to take a cautious approach because of his strained left shoulder.
After missing seven of the eight preseason games because of back and shoulder injuries, Smith went through most of Monday's practice, Coach Monty Williams said. Afterwards, Smith's left shoulder was heavily wrapped but he had no trouble moving his arm.

In two days it's on and poppin'.
i dunno what game monty is playing by saying he may not start or play EJ at all. EJ seems to be excited to get back on the court and I doubt he'll let anyone start ahead of him when he knows he can play 100%.
Man I hope Gordon plays. I wanna see a full lineup.

Reiki is a simple, natural and safe method to improve holistic wellness. This hands-on energy healing works to balance the physical and astral bodies. It is gentle and noninvasive, and sessions are designed to meet the needs of the individual. Sessions may include guided meditation, music meditation, and some verbal discourse in addition to the lying of hands. Reiki works in conjunction with all other medical or therapeutic techniques to relieve stress and promote recovery.

I have a BA in Psychology, and an MA in Parapsychology. I studied Architecture for 3 years, and Music Education for two years. I was a National Merit Semifinalist in High School for good SAT scores, and in the Honors Society in High School and College.

Would you like to learn to work with pain (physical or emotional) more effectively?

Although I am not (yet) an accredited Reiki Master Teacher, I am a Reiki Master, with two full, comprehensive years of training and two more subsequent years of practice. I have also studied meditation and intuitive healing/"energetic self-healing/balancing" quite extensively.
I am a professional singer-songwriter and have been teaching lessons fulltime for the last 12 years. I teach students of all ages and levels of experience. My current range of students include: kids with learning/developmental disabilities, teenagers who have starred in school musicals, and performing adult singer-songwriters.

Reiki= Rei which means Divine Power + Ki which is life force energy
The universal energy surrounds us all from the air we breathe and share, to the vibrations one emits from their heart. We are all one, connected by the universe in which we live, in which we were created from all the same elements that exist around us. Since its energy is the divinity within all of us, its power to heal and bring us to a calm peaceful state is undeniable. I allow it to do its magic simply by acting a conduit for it to flow freely through me to heal the receiver.
Reiki healing feels like a divine radiant glowing river of love that flows through and around you. Reiki treats the whole person including body, mind and spirit creating a blissful state of relaxation and feelings of peace, security and well being.
From the first moment I stepped onto my mat, I credit my personal transformation along my own yogic journey to the great teachers who guided me along the way on my quest to my healthiest, best self and I feel that it is my mission to continue the ancient tradition by sharing the gift of yoga with others to inspire the same growth, lightness and empowerment. I found my authentic voice while completing the 200HR RYT training at CorePower Yoga. Being a natural artist, my classes are inspired by my fun, creative spirit taught from the inside out with focus on my students individual wants, needs and goals. I enjoy guiding power flow, vinyasa flow, deep stretch, chakra flow, meditation, prenatal yoga, and healing with the love of reiki energy! My fascination of the energetic subtle body ...
I am a level 2 certified Reiki practitioner, and can perform Reiki on yoga students, or as its own session.
I discovered my love of yoga at Brown University, where it helped me to cope with anxiety and get more in touch with my body. My practice focuses on mindfulness and self-compassion, and can be a great antidote for the competitive and stressful environment of New York City. I received my 200hour certification at Yandara Institute, and have subsequently received additional trainings as varied as qi gong and Circus Yoga. I am also a trained and certified Reiki practitioner, and love to help my students access their subtle and energetic body.

About Peter Frampton
A History of Peter Frampton ticketsSinger and virtuoso rock guitarist Peter Frampton made his name as a live performer, bursting on the arena concert tour scene in the 1970s with his blockbuster album Frampton Comes Alive, an album that to this day enjoys heavy radio play for the classic singles 'Baby, I Love Your Way,' 'Do You Feel Like We Do?' and 'Show Me the Way.' Peter Frampton ticketsare the only way to experience the flash and dynamism of that album, as Frampton commands the crowd with ultra-creative guitar riffs and innovative solos that meander beyond a single chorus, driving his audiences into a frenzied froth. One innovation used with enormous effect by Peter Frampton is the talk box guitar effect, popularized on his live recording of 'Do You Feel Like We Do?' in which he combines his voice with his playing. Peter Frampton has enjoyed a comeback of success in the new millennium, winning a Grammy Award for his 2006 album Fingerprints, his first instrumental recording, featuring the talk box and guest appearances by his friends and friends, such as Charlie Watts, Bill Wyman and longtime bassist Stanley Sheldon. He released his 14th album, Thank You Mr. Churchill in 2010 and toured Europe with the English band Yes, with whom he had also toured in 1976 following the release of Frampton Comes Alive!.

"One of the goals in my life is to sit up on that stage (as champion) in Las Vegas, and I think he's the guy who can make it happen." – Roger Penske, on Brad Keselowski, May.
"I could win at a lot of tracks, but I just try to spread them out and give some other drivers a chance." – Ryan Newman, in jest, after winning his 16thrace on his 11thdifferent track.

Mammograms, in conjunction with breast examinations by a health professional and monthly breast self-exams, are the best means of detecting breast disease in its earliest stages. South Shore Hospital recognizes the importance of technology and education in saving lives. South Shore Hospital's mammography screening services at South Shore Hospital Outpatient Imaging and Women's Specialty Center at 101 Columbian or South Shore Hospital Imaging at Cohasset offer mammography services in a private, comfortable, and contemporary facility staffed exclusively by women technologists. The professional staff — all women — will offer individual teaching of breast self-examination. They will candidly and attentively address your questions and concerns. All mammograms are performed with advanced medical equipment — digital mammography with Computer-Aided Detection (CAD) to provide the latest technology for better accuracy. Each exam is interpreted by a board-certified South Shore Hospital radiologist. The program is fully accredited by the American College of Radiology and licensed by the Massachusetts Department of Public Health and the FDA. Digital Mammogram appointments are available within days. To schedule your mammography appointment, call 781-624-4090.
Mammograms, in conjunction with breast examinations by a health professional and monthly breast self-exams, are the best means of detecting breast disease in its earliest stages. A mammogram can detect a tumor too small to be felt and is "the most effective method for detecting early-stage breast cancer," according to the National Cancer Institute. Mammography is a simple, low-dose breast x-ray.
The procedure takes less than 30 minutes. Technologists specialize in performing mammography with sensitivity to women's concerns. Prior to the exam, the technologist will review a brief questionnaire with you about your health history. It is requested that you not use powders or deodorants on the day of your mammogram. These products often contain substances that interfere with obtaining a high-quality mammogram. Some women find the procedure slightly uncomfortable. Women may wish to schedule the mammogram during the week following menstruation, when breasts may be less sensitive.
The American Cancer Society suggests the following guidelines:
Women with a family history of breast cancer may be eligible for an annual screening mammography before age 40. Consult your health care provider and insurer for the schedule appropriate for you.
Digital mammogram appointments can be scheduled within days of a request, so you can have prompt access to this important health screening. Please phone 781-624-4090 to schedule your visit. Early mornings, evenings, and Saturday appointments are available for your convenience.
Previous mammograms are essential for the radiologists to have when interpreting your mammogram. The center will help you obtain these images if they were taken at another facility.
It is not unusual for you to be asked to return for an evaluation of areas of the breast that are seen on the screening mammogram as questionable, or to evaluate any palpable abnormalities. Ultrasound may be used in conjunction with a diagnostic mammogram. If needed, both will be performed at the same time. During a diagnostic mammogram, you will consult with a radiologist.
When you had your last mammogram, your report may have said that you have dense breast tissue. See the links below for helpful information on breast density.
American Cancer Society Breast Density and Your Mammogram Report
Breast and Ovarian Cancer Risk Assessment Tool
American College of Radiology Breast Density & Breast Cancer Screening
Ultrasound is a medical diagnostic procedure that uses sound waves — not radiation — to distinguish one form of tissue from another. It is commonly performed on women for breast exams and to evaluate abnormalities seen on a mammogram or a palpable lump in the breast. Qualified, registered sonographers use the latest ultrasound equipment.
A strong magnet is used to create images of tissue based on the number and type of hydrogen atoms within the tissue. Often superior to normal x-ray images, these scans may be used for detecting some cancers, or following their progress.
Our Breast Care Center provides comprehensive care for patients with benign or malignant breast conditions. The highly experienced staff includes board-certified surgeons who are affiliated with South Shore Hospital and Brigham and Women's Hospital.

You are encouraged to contact your individual insurer prior to your visit to determine their guidelines for payment of mammography services. Also, bring your insurance card on the day of the exam.

Why they're on the list: For turning down $6 billion from Google
Few start-ups have experienced the kind of immediate breakout success that Groupon has. Ever. In just two years, the company, which partners with businesses to offer deal-of-the-day coupons, has added some 2,700 employees and expanded into 29 different countries – while earning an estimated $2 billion in annual revenue – eye-popping statistics that have some calling Groupon the fastest-growing company of all time. The company recently earned even more notoriety after Google reportedly flirted with acquiring it for a price tag of some $6 billion. Perhaps even more impressively, Groupon turned the offer down, indicating that it has even bigger goals in mind.
Why they're on the list: Because they're hiring like crazy (about an employee a day)
Either in spite of or because of the recession, consumers seem to have acquired an insatiable appetite for bargains – a trend that has helped fuel the explosive growth of LivingSocial, the social buying company. Customers can now tap discounts to their favorite restaurants, spas and movie theaters in more than 100 cities around the world. And, by raising some $50 million in investment capital this year, including a $175 million with Amazon.com, LivingSocial, which continues to hire a new employee just about every day, promises to keep its growth trajectory on the fast track.
Why they're on the list: Because they've tripled their revenue
The rise of cloud computing has had a dramatic impact on everything from how people socialize to where they store their information. Box.net has capitalized on this trend by becoming an inexpensive and reliable go-to storage solution for millions of individuals looking to back up their photos and music stored on their computers, iPads and iPhones. But it's in the corporate arena, where the company has enrolled some 60,000 businesses including big names like Coca Cola, T-Mobile and Volvo, where Box.net has enjoyed breakout success. Thanks to those corporate clients, Box.net has seen revenues more than triple this past year.
Why they're on the list: Because they've added 4 million registered users (and counting)
With the advent of the iPhone, and the onslaught of so-called "smart phones" that followed, it was only a matter of time before companies found a way to get customers to use their phones for more than just playing Tetris. Then came Foursquare, the company that now enables some 5 million users around the world to use their phones to "check-in" at, say, their local coffee shop, and then notify their friends of their location via Facebook and Twitter. The application also awards "badges," a kind of online plaque, to users for frequent and unusual check-ins, which has made Foursquare not only addictive, but also wildly successful. The company recently passed the 100 million mark for total number of check-ins to its site.
Why they're on the list: For adding 12 million new users
Social media was once simply a set of tools entrepreneurs could use to promote their businesses. Now, with the advent of Yelp, customers can share their feelings about their latest shopping experience in a whole new way. The company, which is based in San Francisco, provides a forum where some 38 million unique users a month post reviews and ratings of businesses. With more than 12 million reviews now available, the site has become a go-to resource for users to evaluate the merits of thousands of restaurants, hotels and service providers in their neighborhood. What has helped the company reach a new level, though, is the launch of Yelp's iPhone application which has been responsible for generating about one call every five seconds to a business.
Why they're on the list: For helping artists sell 55 percent more stuff over last year
In its short history, Brooklyn-based Etsy has become the leading site for artists and craftsmen to sell their wares. Tapping into the tradition of local craft fairs (or the newer eBay approach), sellers set up their own personal storefronts where they can sell just about anything – including clothing, jewelry, and food products – for a flat fee of $0.20 an item. With vintage and handmade items always in demand, Etsy's online marketplace has thrived, as thousands of sellers and even more buyers in 150 countries have resulted in an average of $30 million in goods sold a month (55 percent more than in 2009). Perhaps more importantly the company says it's profitable and may consider an IPO in the coming year.
Why they're on the list: For earning a $5 billion valuation
The popularity of Facebook continues to soar at least in part because of companies like Zynga, the software maker that has become one of the leading developers of social networking games. Fueled by the massive popularity of its games like FarmVille and Mafia Wars, which users pay fees to play, Zynga, which boasts some 320 million registered users, has seen its revenues skyrocket to a reported $500 million a year – leading analysts to value the company at about $5 billion. The company has also gone on an acquisition spree in the past year, fueled by capital supplied by high-profile investors Softbank and Google.
Why they're on the list: For helping some 4,000 entrepreneurs get their project funded
One of the hardest parts of starting any new project can be raising enough money to do it. That helps explain the phenomenal success of Kickstarter, a company that provides an online forum for entrepreneurs of all stripes –moviemakers, artists and game developers – to connect with potential funders, something that has been coined "crowdfunding." The company has reportedly collected $25 million in pledges from more than 300,000 backers across 10,000 projects to date. As the popularity of the site has grown, so, too, have the company's coffers since it collects 5 percent on every transaction.
Why they're on the list: For adding 90,000 new subscribers a day
Thanks to the advent of Pandora Radio, the days are long gone of having to change the dial on your radio to find a song you want to listen to. The company enables users to specify the artists and songs they enjoy and then streams similar music via a customized channel. The company operates on a "freemium" model, where it offers both advertising-supported free listening for up to 40 hours a month as well as an ad-free fee-based model. Pandora now offers more than 800,000 tracks in its library and boasts some 65 million users who listen, on average, for more than 10 hours per month – many of whom now do so via their smart phone.
Why they're on the list: For expanding like mad despite a recession
You might not think there was room for another burger joint in your neighborhood, given the proliferation of all the chain restaurants these days. That's what makes the success of Five Guys Burgers and Fries, a family-owned business, all the more impressive. Unlike its competitors who seem to offer an endless variety of menu options, Five Guys, which now boasts some 725 stores across the U.S. and Canada, sells only hamburgers, hot dogs and French fries. But, by focusing on those mainstays and using only premium ingredients, the company has become incredibly popular and a financial success, where it earns about $500 million in annual revenue. But, it seems, things are only getting started, as the company, which added about 200 locations this year, has some 1,500 more planned for the future.
Why they're on the list: Because they have an appetite for expansion
Everyone loves cupcakes. But it seems like celebrities like Lee DeWyze of American Idol and singer Colbie Caillat can't get enough of the sweet treats from Crumbs. Led by the husband-and-wife team of Jason and Mia Bauer, who founded the original pastry shop on the Upper West Side of Manhattan, the company has leapt into the mainstream after publications such as Star, Women's Day and Elle have featured its scrumptious concoctions, particularly its Colossal Crumb, which is six inches tall by six inches wide and comes in 13 flavors. Not only did the company earn its first Inc. 500 award in 2010, it also expanded by opening new shops in cities like D.C. and Los Angeles as well as in new neighborhoods across New York City. It now operates some 30 locations with plans for more.

Scioto Ridge Elementary students worked together Friday to put smiles on the faces of those serving overseas.
About 110 second-grade students gathered in the commons area of the school to create care packages for overseas military as a lesson in "paying it forward."
The second-grade team, which included students in the classes of Lisa Huesman, Sarah Moes, Erika Pircio, Becky Totin and Mark Walter, collected articles throughout November. The students gathered enough to create 40 small care packages and two large care packages for troops, Pircio said.
The two large care packages will be shipped to family members of staff members in the Scioto Ridge building, Pircio said. Scioto Ridge Speech teacher Lisa Kedo and student teacher Kristen Bell both have loved ones in the military.
The 40 small packages will go to servicemen and women in Commercial Point, Ohio who will deploy Jan. 2. A sergeant supplyman from the base spoke to students Friday before he took the packages back to the troops.
Each of the 40 packages contains hand sanitizer, magazines, soap, shampoo, toothpaste, lotion, deodorant, toothbrush, two handfuls of candy and two handwritten letters from the students. They were gift-wrapped in clear plastic with a yellow bow.
"These packages are a 'thank you' for fighting for our freedom," Pircio told the students Friday. "It's just to make them feel a little more at home. They're doing a huge job for us, fighting for our freedom."

GARETH DUNCAN watched wing Julian Savea score a 74th-minute try to clinch the Hurricanes a 26-20 comeback victory over the Highlanders in Dunedin.
The match-winning try from the Hurricanes speedster was a fantastic effort. After a poor tactical kick from Highlanders reserve scrumhalf Jimmy Cowan, the visitors had a late opportunity to counterattack. After spreading the ball wide through the backs, Savea broke the opposition's defensive line, brushed off two attempted tackles and outran the covering defence to dive over in the corner.
Flyhalf Beauden Barrett then slotted the difficult conversion to finish the match with a flawless goal-kicking display (six from six). This forced a then fatigued Highlanders outfit, who had just returned from their South African tour during the week, to search for a converted try for victory at the death. They failed in their pursuit and the Hurricanes held on for a hard-fought, late win.
This fixture was expected to be an exciting attacking spectacle, but both teams adopted a strong tactical kicking game instead of an expansive approach to find favourable field position. The Highlanders did this effectively in the first half, and capitalised on their chances to score two tries via pivot Chris Noakes and flank Adam Thomson. Noakes added all the extras.
The Hurricanes remained within reach at half-time as Barrett kicked three penalties, which saw a 14-9 scoreline at the break in the hosts' favour.
Noakes extended the Highlanders' lead to eight points with an early three-pointer in the second stanza, before the Hurricanes hit right back with a controversial try. Flank Faifili Levave dotted down seconds after the kick-off, but replays showed that lock Jason Eaton was tackled into touch during the build-up. The officials missed this, and the try was allowed.
This created a tight finish to the game. Barrett and reserve flyhalf Mike Delany traded late penalties as the Highlanders held on to a slender advantage. Savea's brilliant run then sealed an important away win – one that boosts the Hurricanes' play-off hopes on the overall log.
