picture does not match recipe
I love your recipes and often am pointing people to you. I love the image for this chicken soup, but when shopping for the ingredients I realized that the recipe is not the one for the picture. Do you have the recipe for the soup that is in the picture?

RE: picture does not match recipe
Hi Linda,
We're glad you enjoy our recipes!
While we strive to use photos that offer the closest visual appearance to PCC foods and recipes, exact matches are not always available.
Our recipe for Super Simple Old-fashioned Chicken Soup is a great base — it easily can be adapted to your taste and made with any combination of fresh or frozen vegetables. If you're looking to make a soup that resembles the one pictured, we recommend adding chopped, fresh vegetables (such as green beans, peas and potatoes) to the pot when the onions, garlic, fennel and carrots are incorporated. Or, you may add a blend of frozen mixed vegetables to the pot when the chicken and chard is incorporated. You then can add chopped cilantro just before serving.
I hope this helps!
Happy cooking,
Lydia Cox

Nice product6/14/2013
Works perfectly, I have yet to really test the battery life - it charges very fast
When it works it works well. It worked the first time, then locked up and would not respond to the button or turn on. I went to the manufacturers website and found the reset button (through a hole in the center on the headphone jack side) and reset it and it started working again. Sound quality is great.
A bit touchy2/20/2013

Great Product9/18/2012
Great device. No longer have to plug the headphone jack to connect to my car RCA connectors.. Bluetooth BABY!!!
BluBalls Mini-Jack8/12/2012
This little blue tooth receiver/adaptor kicks ass! I plug it into my car stereo and it allows me conviently play endless amount of songs using my phone. Charge lasts a long time too. Also comes with RCA adapters for home stereo. I'll probably buy another one for my home stereo system. Works very well!
Exactly what I wanted!7/14/2012
I was a little nervous about it working with my headphones, but it is exactly what I was looking for. I have a great pair of Bose noise canceling headphones, but they are wired. This perfect for the plane, but I use them at the gym too (lots of crashing and banging of weights, groaning of weight lifters, distasteful music). Wearing wired headphones, the wires are always flapping around and getting snagged. I had to Velcro this little guy to the 'phones, but it is perfect.
IT WORKS. i'M HAPPY!5/1/2012
Bluetooth Receiver3/21/2012
I am pleased with the performance of this item.
great product...8/10/2011
We use this Bluetooth receiver to connect Bluetooth devices (like iPad,etc) to our BOSE radio for superb volume and bass response. Also bought the BluBridge Bluetooth transmitter with headphones and the iHome iDM wireless speakers to transmit/receive audio wirelessly to/from any device(CD,radio,iPad,etc), and now to the BOSE radio, with this Bluetooth receiver.
Works Good6/11/2010
It does everything it claims. My only complaint, and thus a reduction in overall satisfaction to a 4, is that my HTC Incredible will not auto-connect with the device. After i reconnect, it works great. I don't have to repair, just reconnect. This may be a phone issue, but still a hiccup in the overall satisfaction.
Simply works!3/5/2010
What can I say? It works. I got it, turned it on, paired it with my laptop, plugged it in to my sound system and voila! Music! So if you have Bluetooth on your laptop and want an easy way to connect wirelessly to your sound system, this will do the trick. I had it working in 5 minutes and it sounds great. I got it on sale and at the price paid it's a real bargain. Works as good as any I've tried (I've used several others). Rating it a 5 at the sale price, would drop to a 4 at full price as that's a bit high (in my opinion). Seems well built, charges via USB port which is convenient. They also make a transmitter which is very similar, but if your laptop or other device already has Bluetooth, this is all you need.
Great Buy!3/3/2010
This is a great little device, it paired with my cellphone on the first try and works as advertised. Came with a USB cable, A/V cable, Mini to Mini cable and a small mini to mini jack. It's like buying some cables and getting the bluetooth receiver for free! and like I said it is a great little receiver.
another tech toy, thats not perfect3/2/2010
Quick: +Works as effortlessly as any bluetooth device with iphone. -difficulty with my laptops. Check your BT version. +sound quality is fine. -doesn't have a way to control volume. 2 minutes out of the box I'm listening to a quick-mix in Pandora playing on my iPhone to my tuner across the room. I have a decent ear for sound and nothing jumps out as being wrong. I've been listening from electronica to instrumental jazz and it has operated adequately, no choppiness or glitches in the sound. I guess I'm saying, it hasn't done anything to make me want to stop listening to it. this, in the time it has taken to write this review. A little smaller than I expected actually. About 2/3 the size of a gum packet (5 stick variety). I like this. So the value is extra high because i picked mine up for $25, and this week they're $56. maybe a new product special... A few quick learnings: no volume control for headphones or direct car amp input. with the source turned off, nothing is connected to it BT, its clicking and bumping through the speakers every so often. until it automatically turns off. With my laptop, I can pair with it after a few failed attempts, but no services available, boo.

So, after getting all my blood work back my doctor says they recommend me to my primary doctor to get a MMR vaccines. I didn't fully understand but I must be on the line or something. To be honest not sure what to do. Has anyone else got the MMR before doing IVF? I hate putting something in me considering I haven't had it this long- just makes me wonder. HELP
Any get the MMR vaccines before doing IVF?? Help, thoughts??

I didn't get the MMR before starting my cycle. I tested non-immune to Rubella. It's rare and most dangerous during first trimester. Will be getting it as soon as I deliver if the IVF is successful. I've had MMR'S before and it didn't make me immune to Rubella so didn't see the point in prolonging the IVF to get another one.

Essentially, Mediated aims at creating awareness rather than offering ready-made solutions to remedy the intrusion of too much media in our industrial societies. Rather than writing yet another pamphlet against the media, the author chooses to focus on the mechanisms and the processes of our mediated society.
The basis of his analysis is that the opposite of reality is not phony or superficial, it's optional. We choose between options to determine who we are, to make statements to the world about who we are. People, he argues, have always done so, but the difference with today's situation is that we have a lot more options. In terms of options, comparing the modern world with the post-modern world is like comparing a breeze with a hurricane. The media forces at work since the fifties have contributed to expanding our options greatly, making the self "aware" of the possibilities to be who it deems worth being.
We have become method actors, constantly flattered. Deception is luring as it is the inherent condition of the flattered-self. So we seek new ways of satisfying our selves. These are the true forces at work behind what de Zengotita calls the virtual revolution.

Our Bureau
Kochi, March 1
The trade and industry have generally welcomed the Budget, saying it will pave the way for economy growth and boost industrial development.
Confederation of Indian Industry, Southern Region,has said that the Finance Minister has set the path for inclusive growth to boost employment generation.
The Bis a continuation of the growth oriented measures announced in his two previous budgets that aim to make India a global manufacturing hub and at the same time target rural growth to facilitate trickledown benefits to the `
aam admi'.
Several of the measures announced would boost the agricultural, food processing and rural sectors, CII said in a release issued here. The 54 per cent increase in budgetary allocation for Bharat Nirman would help accelerate development of rural infrastructure, which is crucial in unlocking the potential of the rural hinterland.
According to CII, the Finance Minister has performed a fine balancing act by avoiding new taxes or higher tax burden, and at the same time increased budgetary allocation to social and rural sectors. This was possible through efficient tax administration and bringing more services under the tax net along with proposals to streamline and network tax administration across the country.
CII felt that the de-reservation of 180 items reserved for the SSI sector would also encourage optimal capacities and enhance the global competitiveness of the Indian manufacturing sector.
Further, the fillip given to cluster development, especially for handlooms, handicrafts and agri products, would boost employment generation in industrial towns.
The Cochin Chamber of Commerce and Industryorganised live viewing and the reaction to the Budget has been mixed.
While almost all agreed that the financial management has been sound whereby the deficit has been kept under control, most of them observed that though the factors were favourable for radical reforms, the Finance Minister chose to play it very safe.
The exporters, who participated in the discussions, were not happy with the support given to them. With regard to plantations, while Rs 100 crore has been allotted to the rejuvenation of tea plantations, they said that the service tax on auctioneering is a cause of concern.
Mr John K. Paul, President of the Kerala Chamber of Commerce and Industry,said that emphasis on infrastructure and rural development including roads, ports and airports would boom industrial development and human potential.
Apart from raising status of Rajiv Gandhi Institute of Biotechnology, Thiruvananthapuram to a national institute and Koodiyattam to be recognised as a national folklore, there is nothing much to cheer for Kerala, he said.
Welcoming the setting up of a Special Purpose Tea Fund,
Mr Balagopala B. Pai, President of the Indian Chamber of Commerce and Industry,said that the provision of Rs 100 crore for the five States together seems to be quite inadequate, particularly in view of the predicament of the tea industry in Kerala.
He pointed out that cash crop items such as rubber, pepper also need assistance for re-plantation under a similar scheme.
No proposal is there to enhance the installed capacity utilisation of the existing power projects, he added.

Our ignorance of the cosmos is too vast to commit to atheism, and yet we know too much to commit to a particular religion.

Layne Publications Announces Release of New Bluegrass Mandolin Tab, Salt Creek
Layne Publications is the best place online to learn how to play the banjo, mandolin, and guitar. Recently along with several other new songs, Layne Publications announced the release of a traditional favorite, Salt Creek at http://www.laynepublications.com/salt-creek-mandolin-tab-jam-track
Greenville, SC (PRWEB) May 26, 2013
Layne Publications is well known for their high quality, inexpensive banjo, bluegrass guitar and mandolin tabs. Their fans and visitors alike often comment that their music tabs are more like lessons, and are one of the fastest ways to learn and master a new song. Recently Layne Publications releases several new songs, including a well-loved favorite, Salt Creek.
There is a large difference between the tabs available at Layne Publications and other competitors. While many other online companies sell tabs that are written by an amateur´s guesswork, all of the tabs at Layne Publications are written and organized by professional players with teaching experience. The tabs at Layne Publications are also unique in comparison to other tab providers in that they come with several free extras that are completely unique to Layne Publications. Each music tab package comes with a professionally created music tab and full song sheet music. Along with the tabs comes a free MP3 of the song and a Unique Layne Publications JAM Track. These JAM Tracks are nearly always the selling point for customers of Layne Publications. They are basically an MP3 recording of the song with the selected instrument removed from the song. This gives the student the opportunity to play along with the song to learn timing and to master each string of notes.
Layne Publications is a customer favorite, and many of their fans love to share what they have learned since using Layne Publications´ music tabs. "Its less like the other tab companies and more like really inexpensive lessons. The tabs are accurate and easy to understand, and the JAM Track is an awesome extra that makes each song so much easier to master. I will be back for much more from Layne Publications." —Kent Buckner, Customer of Layne Publications.
About Layne Publications
Since 2005 http://www.laynepublications.com/ has been the premier source for Bluegrass Instruction and learning. From Banjo, Mandolin and Bluegrass Jam Tracks for Guitar you'll find it all at Layne Publications. We've sold thousands of tabs and help thousands of players improve their ability in the comfort of their own home. They can then take this new skill out to their local bluegrass jam session or to the next practice with their band and show off what they've learned. It gives them the chance to practice things at home without the pressure of getting it right the first time. They can take their time. Stop, rewind and continue going over that trouble spot without the bass player standing there giving them the evil eye because he wants to move on to the next song.

About Us
|Our research focuses on understanding host-microbe interactions, specifically as related to plague pathogenesis. Yersinia pestis, the causative agent of plague, is a naturally occuring infection of some rodent populations. It is typically spread from rodent to rodent by their fleas. Humans may become an accidental host if they come into close contact with these infected animals or their fleas. Y. pestis has evolved to survive within each of these hosts (mammals and fleas) using a variety of virulence factors, all of which must be coordinated in response the host environment. Our work investigates factors that are important for Y. pestis survival in the mammalian host and the flea vector.

Yersinia species display a tropism for lymphoid tissues during infection, and the bacteria select innate immune cells for delivery of cytotoxic effectors by the type III secretion system. Yet the mechanism for target cell selection remains a mystery. Here we investigate the interaction of Yersinia pestis with murine splenocytes to identify factors that participate in the targeting process. We find that interactions with primary immune cells rely on multiple factors. First, the bacterial adhesin Ail is required for efficient targeting of neutrophils in vivo. However, Ail does not appear to directly mediate binding to a specific cell type. Instead, we find that host serum factors direct Y. pestis to specific innate immune cells, particularly neutrophils. Importantly, specificity towards neutrophils was increased in the absence of bacterial adhesins due to reduced targeting of other cell types, but this phenotype was only visible in the presence of mouse serum. Addition of antibodies against complement receptor 3 and CD14 blocked target cell selection, suggesting that a combination of host factors participate in steering bacteria toward neutrophils during plague infection.

survey, he asked students what level of money, freedom, equipment, and so on they expected to have in different kinds of careers, and many more students marked "Don't know" when asked about start-ups and established firms than when asked about academia. "It could be that they don't search it out because they don't want to be in industry. [But] there is probably less information out there."
Carnevale added that the U.S. Department of Education is supporting the development of an online system that will collect information on all transcripts of students, including those in college and graduate school, and connect that information to wage records supplied by every employer in America. Currently, in 26 states, a student in a Ph.D. program in physics can find out how many of last year's graduates got a job, whether it was in physics, what their wages were, and the duration of their employment.

Mohegan — It was a week in which New London had yet to play basketball. They attended a luncheon at the Aqua Turf Club in Southington, talked to members of the media, delivered speeches and, mainly, practiced.
"It went by really slowly," sophomore Charee Osborne said. "Sitting in classes? Oh, my gosh."
The fourth quarter of the Class M state championship game went by slowly, too, Sunday in front of 7,559 people at Mohegan Sun Arena. The Whalers, once leading by 17, saw their advantage trimmed to one, with New London willing the game to be over and its opponent, Morgan, requiring the Whalers focus until the final seconds.
And finally it was, as Osborne referred to things, "official."
The fifth-seeded New London High School girls' basketball team - with a little patience - won its first state championship in program history, topping No. 6 Morgan 57-52 behind 16 points and 11 rebounds from Osborne, who led a dominant frontcourt performance featuring 10 blocked shots.
India Pagan added nine points, 13 rebounds and seven blocks, the other part of the New London front line, and Jada Lucas (12 points), Deanna McCarvell (10 points) and Lexus Childs-Harris (10 points, 5 assists, 4 rebounds) all reached double figures.
The storybook run for the Whalers (24-4) gives them the first state championship for a girls' team at New London since the outdoor track team won in 1978-79 and capped a turnaround which saw the Whalers go from 2-18 in 2012 to television cameras and "We are the champions" blaring from the loudspeakers.
The Whalers, under second-year coach Kerrianne Dugan, lost only to Class L runner-up Weaver and Eastern Connecticut Conference champion Norwich Free Academy this season, twice each.
"I think there's pressure. You don't want to get here just to get here," Dugan said. "You want to get here and win the championship. We visualized it, walking through the tunnel, and today we did it, like 'we really did it; we're here.' … I don't know. They're crazy (right now). They're really excited. They didn't just get here."
Dugan, for the record, doesn't like it when her team blocks shots for fear of fouls.
"She tells me, 'Charee, go straight up,'" Osborne said. "Normally we don't block."
But, following a big day in a semifinal victory over top-seeded Holy Cross - Osborne had 19 rebounds and Pagan 13 in a 44-32 win - the duo came through once again. Pagan, a 6-foot-2 freshman, had four blocked shots in the first half to set the tone and Osborne, who is 5-10, had 10 points and seven rebounds at halftime.
Although no Most Valuable Player award is given in basketball, by the end of the game Osborne had the crowd chanting, "MVP, MVP."
"They're tough as heck," Morgan coach Joe Grippo said of the two. "We played against (University of Hartford-bound Janelle) Harrison from Cromwell, but she's an entirely different type of player. She's more of a finesse kid. They're really physical. Their physical presence is so incredible that we just couldn't deny them the ball or keep it away from them.
"Osborne is just a heck of a player."
Morgan (22-6), bidding for its third state championship, originally led 9-2, but New London followed with eight straight points to end the first quarter and took a 10-9 lead on an offensive rebound by Osborne with 42.5 seconds left.
The Whalers never trailed again, leading 27-19 at halftime, 46-32 after three quarters and by as much as 50-33 early in the fourth quarter.
Morgan, however, led by 16 points, six assists and four steals overall from Sami Ashton, launched a 19-2 run over the next four minutes to pull within 53-52 on a drive by Tori Hopkins with two minutes to play.
Lucas was fouled the next time down the floor for New London, though, and hit a pair of free throws, pushing the margin back to a more comfortable three. Morgan missed, with Childs-Harris securing the rebound for the Whalers, and Osborne hit one of two free throws with 1:02 to go to make it 56-52.
Lucas added one more free throw at the 34-second mark for the final margin.
"I couldn't wait to get it over with," Osborne said. "I was screaming before the buzzer went off. It's just … joy. Everybody jumping. Happy."
"I was like, 'Oh, shoot,'" Childs-Harris said of the closing moments. "If we want it, we're going to have to go get it. We started to get kind of hectic. … I can't even explain. It's really special. It's crazy."

Social Security starts providing online statements
Tuesday - 5/1/2012, 5:42pm EDT
By STEPHEN OHLEMACHER
Associated Press
WASHINGTON (AP) - The Social Security Administration is now providing workers with online statements of the estimated benefits they will get when they retire, replacing the paper ones the agency used to mail out.
Until last year, the agency mailed out yearly statements that told you how much your benefits would be if you retired at age 62, 66 or 70. Social Security stopped mailing the paper statements to save an estimated $70 million a year.
This year, the agency resumed mailing them to people once they reach 60, but younger workers were left out.
The agency announced Tuesday that workers 18 and older can now go online, to www.ssa.gov, where they can create a secure account to see their information.
The new online statements are part of a larger government effort to use new technologies to communicate with taxpayers and distribute benefits. The federal government is phasing out paper checks for all benefit programs, including Social Security.
New beneficiaries had to start receiving electronic payments last year. Almost all beneficiaries will have to make the switch to electronic payments by next March.
The online Social Security statements include a history of taxable earnings for each year _ so people can check for mistakes _ as well as the total amount of Social Security and Medicare taxes paid over the lifetime of the worker.
The statements provide estimates of monthly benefits, based on current earnings and when a worker plans to retire. Workers can claim early retirement benefits starting at age 62. Full benefits are available at age 66, a threshold that is gradually increasing to 67 for people born in 1960 or later.
Workers can get higher benefits if they wait until they turn 70 to apply.
"Our new online Social Security Statement is simple, easy-to-use and provides people with estimates they can use to plan for their retirement," Social Security Commissioner Michael J. Astrue said. "The online statement also provides estimates for disability and survivors benefits, making the statement an important financial planning tool. People should get in the habit of checking their online statement each year, around their birthday, for example."
Advocates for older Americans were unhappy when the paper statements were discontinued last year, and some don't think the online statements are an adequate substitute, said Web Phillips, a senior policy advisor for the National Committee to Protect Social Security and Medicare.
"The whole purpose of the statement was to make sure everyone got important information about Social Security," Phillips said. Without a paper statement, many Americans won't get the information, he said.

ClassicsOnline Home » LOUSSIER, J.: Violin Concertos Nos. 1 and 2 / PADEREWSKI, I.J.: Violin Sonata (Kostecki, Iwicki, Hauer, Polish Philharmonic Chamber Orchestra)
Jacques Loussier achieved immense worldwide popular success combining the music of J.S. Bach and jazz improvisation with his Play Bach Trio. Loussier's focus has since turned more towards composing, his predilection for fusing jazz and classical elements expressed at its most economical in these two Violin Concertos. Eloquent expressiveness and colourful use of percussion characterise the First Concerto, while the Indian influence in the Second Concerto emerges through violin improvisation and rhythmic counterpoint from the tabla. Like Loussier, Paderewski was a piano virtuoso who turned to composition in later life, the Violin Sonata being one of his finest earlier works.

Jacques Loussier: Violin Concertos
I have admired Jacques Loussier's music, especially his interpretation of Bach for about as long as I can remember but I was quite surprised to learn of this disc, attracted first by the strikingly colourful cover art.
I had never noticed that Loussier had written these violin concertos and upon hearing them so beautifully played and recorded I was quite delighted. From the opening bars of the 1st concerto there was an almost endless stream of rhythm and melody.
They are clearly somewhat alike though thematically different so that it is probably advisable to listen to them separately.
I do not see the connection with the Paderewski sonata but found it completely rewarding, especially having little knowledge of Paderewski's works other than for piano. Please try it!more....
Jacques Loussier (b. 1934): Concerto No. 1 for Violin and Percussion • Concerto No. 2 for Violin and Tabla
Ignacy Jan Paderewski (1860–1941): Sonata for Violin and Piano, Op. 13
Born in Angers on 26 October 1934, Jacques Loussier started playing the piano at the age of ten. Six years later, he entered the Conservatoire Nationale de Musique in Paris where he studied with Yves Nat, whose gifts as a pianist had been encouraged by Debussy. Loussier duly became one of Nat's most accomplished pupils, heading the conservatory's piano class of over 500 students. After he left the Conservatoire, he began a freelance career which saw travels to South America and the Middle East as well as accompanying Catherine Sauvage and Charles Aznavour. In 1959 Loussier hit upon the idea that was to make his international reputation, combining his interest in jazz with a love of Bach when he founded the Play Bach Trio that used Bach's compositions as the basis for jazz improvisation. The trio immediately caught the public imagination. In their live appearances, tours and concerts, plus a succession of recordings centred on those made for Decca during 1960–63, they achieved a breakthrough to worldwide popular commercial success—in the process selling over six million albums.
During its heyday, the trio broadened its range of activities with Loussier double-tracking pieces on organ and piano. The original trio ended in 1978 and, two years later, Loussier retired to Provence to compose, research and record. He had already composed for film and ballet, and established his own recording studio at Miraval, near Nice, where, in addition to composing for acoustic and electronic instruments, he hosted many figures from the rock world. His music of the 1980s explored the integration of new technology with conventional instruments. He wrote suites for piano, synthesizers, percussion and bass, and also rock-jazz-classical fusion compositions including Pulsions, Pagan Moon and Fusions sous La Mer. The tercentenary of Bach's birth in 1985 saw Loussier reform the Play Bach Trio with two new partners—combining jazz, rock and modern classical with a mix of jazz and Bach. The trio has kept up a busy touring schedule, though one leaving Loussier time to write his own compositions. In 1986 he wrote the mass Lumières, his first full-scale work for symphony orchestra and one which continued his long-term exploration of the synthesis of musical genres, concertos for trumpet and violin (both 1988), a suite for strings Tableaux vénétiens, and a ballet Trois Couleurs (1989) to celebrate the bicentenary of the French Revolution.
Loussier's violin concertos find his predilection for fusing jazz and classical elements at its most economical. The First Violin Concerto, written in 1987–88 (though subsequently revised), is scored for groups of woodwind, brass, strings, and also a partially improvised percussion component. The four strongly contrasted movements each have a defining subtitle. The first movement, Prague, opens with brusque exchanges between strings and percussion, against whose incisive syncopation the soloist sets off with an impassioned theme that latterly takes on a more expressive element. The music also evinces pronounced jazz characteristics as it unfolds, propelled forward by an increasingly demonstrative response by the percussion. At length it heads into an extended 'break' for soloist and percussion, before the initial theme resumes to bring about a forceful close. The second movement, L'homme nu, begins with icy tremolo strings over which the soloist unfolds a yearningly expressive melody that draws the strings in a heightened threnody. This is soon cut short, however, and the third movement, Buenos Aires Tango, is launched by the soloist in partnership with strings over a typically suave tango rhythm. The soloist is given ample chance to exhibit its eloquent upper register, prior to an understatedly nonchalant close. The fourth movement, Tokyo, now begins with atmospheric writing for strings and percussion—the rhythmic profile gradually coming into focus before the soloist heads off with a bracing theme that elicits a suitably combative response from the orchestra. At length activity briefly ceases, only for a crescendo on strings and percussion to lead back into the main theme then on to a vividly confrontational close.
The Second Violin Concerto followed in 2006 to a commission from the Menuhin Festival. Perhaps acknowledging the founder's fascination with Indian music, it features a prominent part for the tabla—while the violin part includes numerous opportunities for improvisation. The first movement begins with a sardonic theme for the soloist, heard over martial strings and capering tabla. The music becomes more rhythmically inflected, and the string response accordingly more subtle, prior to the peremptory close. The second movement begins with ethereal string harmonies, before a lilting motion provides the backdrop against which the soloist unfolds a lengthy and increasingly wistful melody that exhibits often agile repartee with the strings—these two becoming ever more closely intertwined as a quizzical close is reached. Next comes a cadenza which builds steadily to a powerful climax, whereupon the third movement sets off with a hectic dance for soloist and strings—the tabla providing a rhythmic counterpoint that keeps them company through to a close of uninhibited panache.
The one thing the figures on this disc have in common is that composition latterly came to feature prominently within the respective careers of (wholly different) virtuosi of the piano. Ignacy Paderewski was born on 6 November 1860 in Kurylówka. At eighteen he graduated from the Conservatory in Warsaw and became professor of piano there. Two years later, having moved to Berlin, he took up studies with Friedrich Kiel and Heinrich Urban, then moved to Vienna where he studied with Theodor Leschetizky. He made his début in Vienna in 1887, followed by Paris a year later and capped by a hugely successful United States début at New York in 1891. He completed a Piano Concerto in 1888 and the Polish Fantasy in 1893, as well as a Piano Sonata and numerous short pieces. The Piano Concerto [Naxos 8.554020] was first performed by Anna Esipova under Hans Richter and became an immediate success. Poland during that time was struggling for freedom and Paderewski turned his attention to a national opera. Manru, based on Kraszewski's House Outside the Village, was finished in 1900 but after early performances disappeared from the stage. A similar patriotic vein is to be found in his Polonia Symphony, first performed at Lausanne in 1908 then given in Boston by Max Fiedler. In 1910 Paderewski appeared at the inaugural concert of the Warsaw Philharmonic and gave a speech urging independence for Poland. Although he spent much time abroad, including Switzerland and the United States, national concerns led him to become new Poland's first prime minister in 1919. By 1922, he had resumed his concert career and later undertook the task of editing all Chopin's works. When Hitler invaded Poland in 1939, Paderewski was forced to flee to the United States, where he died on 29 June 1941. He was buried at the Arlington Cemetery in Washington D.C.
Composed in 1882, the Violin Sonata is arguably the finest of Paderewski's earlier works. The first movement starts with an eloquent theme for the violin over an intricate piano accompaniment, at length making way for a more resolute and rhythmically defined theme as takes the exposition through to its engaging close. After a formal repeat, the development looks to the movement's 'fantasia' marking with its free-wheeling and inventive discussion of both themes, following which there is a modified reprise—the initial theme now unfolding at greater length—then a coda which draws on aspects of both themes prior to the regretful close. The second movement, marked Intermezzo, begins with halting exchanges between the two instruments, out of which a gently expressive theme emerges which takes on greater substance before the piano makes a return to the initial exchanges. From here the main theme resumes, touching on greater heights of expressiveness before reaching its winsome close. The third movement sets off with a fervent theme that briefly yields to one of greater repose before continuing on its charged course. After a repeat of the exposition, the development makes resourceful use of both themes, with the violin's dextrous pizzicato complementing the piano's limpid passage work, before a heightened reprise which throws the character of both themes into greater relief, followed by a coda that sees the work through to its decisive close.

The FIFA World Cup is the biggest sporting extravaganza on the planet. It is played with a lot of passion and, is arguably, the only tournament thing that can bring the world to a standstill. It will be impossible for me to stay away from the fun and excitement generated during the month-long carnival. The efforts put in by the footballers cannot be matched by any other clutch of sportspersons.
I am glad the World Cup will be held in Brazil, the spiritual home of football. Their fans are a demanding lot. I wish the home team wins this time. Brazil are oozing with talent and the home support will only add to their arsenal.
Let me be frank. I don't follow football on a regular basis. But when it comes to World Cup, everything changes. And let's thank Brazil for that. They play a fast-paced game which is simple, yet effective. I like the passion with which the Brazilians play in their canary yellow jerseys. They play 'Samba soccer'. Besides Brazil, I will follow the progress of defending champions Spain, too.
Having said so, you will be surprised to know that I have met France legend Zinedine Zidane. I also wish to meet the Ronaldo and Messi soon.

Krasinski, Hunt, Common among in-crowd at Sundance
The Sundance opening night schedule features one title from each of the four competitions: director Todd Louiso's U.S. drama entry "Hello I Must Be Going," a divorce comedy with Melanie Lynskey and Blythe Danner; Australian filmmaker Kieran Darcy-Smith's world drama contender "Wish You Were Here," starring Joel Edgerton and Teresa Palmer in the story of a vacation gone terribly wrong; Lauren Greenfield's U.S. documentary "The Queen of Versailles," about a couple who go bust while building a palatial 90,000-square-foot home; and Malik Bendjelloul's world documentary "Searching for Sugar Man," a British-Danish film tracing the life of a 1970s rock performer who vanished into oblivion.
Sundance once was known almost exclusively as a showcase for rising U.S. filmmakers, but organizers added the international competitions a few years back to raise the festival's profile for overseas films. The result has been an international lineup that included such breakout hits as "An Education," "Animal Kingdom" and "Once."
"Internationally is where I see a real spike in the caliber of films we had submitted to us," said Trevor Groth, Sundance's programming director. "There are world-class films submitted to us on par with any festival in the world right now. I think international filmmakers are now looking at Sundance as a premier place to launch films. It's not just Cannes or Berlin anymore."

NHL - Page 13
Blackhawks Fan Grows Playoff Lawn, City Cuts It
The Stanley Cup Finals begin Wednesday night in Chicago when the Blackhawks face the Boston Bruins in Game 1 of the NHL's championship series. If Chicago loses, its fans may storm the offices of the city of nearby Park Ridge, Ill. in protest because the suburb's leaders obviously don't understand NHL playoff superstitions.
Who Will Win The Stanley Cup? [POLL]
The Bruins and Blackhawks, two Original 6 teams, meet for the right to raise Lord Stanley. Boston is 9-1 in the postseason since toppling Toronto in overtime of Game 7 in the opening round. Chicago is 7-1 since being down 3-1 to rival Detroit and beat last year's Cup champion Kings in the Western Conference Finals
Stanley Cup Finals Preview
It's an Original 6 Stanley Cup Finals, the first since 1979 and the first finals since 1972 between American Original 6 teams. Bruins and Blackhawks. Here is a preview of the series that will eventually end in one of these teams hoisting Lord Stanley's Cup, the most coveted trophy in team sports.
Blackhawks Send Kings Packing
Bruins Finish Off Penguins
No One Matches Boston Bruins' Effort
A Double Overtime Thriller Goes To Boston In Game 3
The LA Kings Win Game 3 And Get Back In The Series
The task facing the Pittsburgh Penguins is not unlike the deficit the LA Kings were facing going into game 3 of the eastern conference finals-with 1 exception. A HUGE exception. The Kings played game 3 at home, and home is where they have done their best work so far in the playoffs
Bruins Dominating Penguins
Bruins-Penguins had the most intrigue of any Stanley Cup playoff series for the simple reason that the two teams play completely different styles. Boston plays tough and with depth and scores big goals at big times. Pittsburgh scores all the time and flies up and down the ice, the total finesse team that relies on superstar players.

Anti-Aging Site Announces New Vitamin Report After Centrum Admits Vitamins Won't Prevent Cancer
Anti-aging website, AntiAgingProductsReviewed is announcing new vitamin review report, after famous vitamin brand, Centrum, released a statement admitting that vitamins won´t prevent cancer. The new report will shed light on the things that vitamins are proven to help combat.
Houston, TX. (PRWEB) July 07, 2012
Anti-aging supplement website, http://antiagingproductsreviewed.com/ is announcing a new free report about the proven effects of vitamins and aging after famous vitamin company, Centrum, announced that after years of criticisms, they are admitting vitamins won´t help prevent cancer. The vitamin and cancer association has been a long debated issue and one that has created a media firestorm for the vitamin company. Amidst these revelations on vitamins and cancer prevention, http://antiagingproductsreviewed.com/ is announcing their free report to help those interested in vitamins discover the ways in which vitamins are proven to help the body.
The company announced the new reports after many began questioning what the actual effects of vitamins really are. The new section of the site will be reviewing vitamin supplements and discussing benefits of these supplements on health and particularly how they can help with different signs and symptoms of aging. The supplement review company hopes this will be a more positive approach to discovering the positive effects of vitamins instead of scrutinizing Centrum and other vitamin suppliers for supplements not helping to prevent cancer.
The anti-aging site´s new product promotions have launched on the company website and will feature information on the benefits of using all natural anti-aging supplements as shown by actual research studies. AntiAgingProductsReviewed´s latest endeavors now include product reviews and information on supplements specifically designed to help those dealing with stress, aging and other issues.

TILKESHWAR, INDIA (AP) - Tilkeshwar is one of India's forgotten villages.
It's 20 miles (30 kilometers) from the nearest paved road, untouched by electricity, running water, sanitation and even the barest of health care. Life is so bleak that nearly all adult men leave to search for menial work for their families' survival.
Here, deep in the floodplains of the Kosi River, the polio virus has stubbornly hidden. And it is here where the long-stalled global fight to eradicate the crippling disease might be on the verge of a badly needed victory.
The sudden optimism has been stoked by a startlingly effective campaign by the government and aid groups to finally drive polio out of India. The scale of the effort is staggering. In just five days last month, 2 1/2 million workers visited 68 million homes to inoculate 172 million children.
Similar campaigns have fallen short in the past, but two factors this time are different: Health workers are armed with a new, more effective vaccine, and nearly airtight monitoring means virtually no child is missed, not even in the most remote of villages.
For India, teetering between the worlds of poverty and new wealth, defeating a disease long forgotten in richer countries would be a crucial step in its transformation into a global power.
"It's a stigma for India," said Dr. Lakhindra Prasad, chief medical officer of India's Darbhanga district, which covers Tilkeshwar.
For the rest of the world, success in India would would create a precedent for bringing health services to even the poorest and most remote people.
"(It shows) what we think is impossible is actually possible in public health," said Bruce Aylward, the head of the World Health Organization's global polio campaign.
Across India, one of four nations where polio remains endemic, only 42 cases were recorded in 2010, a drop of 94 percent from the year before. It is the lowest number ever recorded here.
In the Kosi floodplains of central Bihar, there hasn't been a case since last January. In Uttar Pradesh, the other region in India where polio remains endemic, there hasn't been a case since April.
"We think the end of polio is near, we definitely feel it," said Dilip Kumar Mukhiya, a member of the Tilkeshwar village council.
India's near success, and a similar plunge in cases in Nigeria, has brought a surge of energy to the long-stalled global campaign against a disease that has paralyzed millions.
Last month, philanthropist Bill Gates pledged $102 million to eradication, which he called his top priority; Abu Dhabi's crown prince, Sheik Mohammed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, pledged another $50 million to vaccinating children in Afghanistan and Pakistan against polio and other diseases; Rotary International, which has already given more than $1 billion to eradication, unveiled a fundraising campaign entitled "This Close."
"This is the best situation I've ever seen," said Tim Peterson, a polio expert with the Gates Foundation. "I certainly think there's light at the end of the tunnel."

November 14 was observed as World Diabetes Day when India already became the "diabetic capital" of the world. "World day" observations started with World Health Day; then came Haemophilia Day, Alzheimer's Day, AIDS Day, Kidney Day, Heart Day, Psoriasis Day, Stroke Day and what not. There will be no end if things go like this; 365 days won't be enough.
Initially the idea was to create awareness, remove loneliness and get public support out of concern for the suffering people. But with increasing compartmentalisation in medicare, we seem to be missing the target, we miss the wood for the trees. Is not World Health Day alone enough? If we want more, let us have Food Day, Water Day, and Environment Day, maybe yet another World Lifestyle Day. This is because diseases known to mankind arise out of problems in diet, lifestyle and environment. Name any disease including cancer, even genetic diseases — all are due to errors in lifestyle, diet and environment, both seen and unseen. But the sad thing is that it is difficult to make the people believe this "hard secret;" even more difficult is to convince doctors who are hooked onto caveats of evidence-based medicine, which relies on proof from controlled studies.
Controlled studies are not suitable for establishing the basic aetiology of any disease or solving basic issues in health care and disease-care because we are dealing with situations of "non-linear mathematics." At best, controlled studies are useful in studying the effect, or the lack of it, of a drug. Even then, there are problems since two human beings are not comparable — even external appearances are not comparable as evidenced by fingerprint and facial appearances. Internally, there is an ocean of difference between individuals of the same age and gender.
Hypertension and diabetes develop after years of abnormal lifestyle and diet and, therefore, it is not possible to randomise and prospectively study two groups. But, unfortunately, the medical world is obsessed with the idea of controlled studies, it will not believe anyone unless what you say is supported by evidence from a controlled study, or we are in an "evidence-burdened world."
I have had the opportunity of working in the general medicine department of my hospital, admitting 30,000 patients annually and treating another 1.8 lakh out-patients. In fact, we have a museum of diseases, including all infections, diabetes, hypertension, heart attack, strokes, cancer and deficiency diseases and genetic disorders. The patients come in large numbers for two reasons: 1) the kind of unmatched expertise that we provide; and 2) many come because they have nowhere else to go. In the last three decades, I have been closely studying all these patients and simultaneously studying the people who live a healthy life, and the result of a "meaningful observation" is that all diseases known to mankind are due to problems in diet, lifestyle and environment. The original study published on 'Vitamin D deficiency in tuberculosis' was the first proof that the disease occurs owing to malnutrition (P.K. Sasidharan et al, JAPI, April 2002). Similar studies are being done on lifestyle diseases, HIV, blood cancers, anaemia and genetic disorders.
Coming back to diabetes. Diabetes mellitus occurs owing to years of overeating, physical inactivity, and stress. The less common type 1 diabetes is caused by irreversible damage to the insulin-producing cells of the pancreas. This is primarily due to malnutrition and the consequent infections, and several toxins entering the body. Together, these five factors are responsible for all types of diabetes that we see. Hypertension also results from abnormalities in diet and lifestyle — due to the intake of excess salt in fast food, fried food, junk food and preserved food. Obesity, lack of exercise, stress, smoking, alcohol intake and decreased intake of vegetables and fruits contribute to both diabetes and hypertension.
India has become the capital of several diseases; our health care is wavering under the steadily increasing "double burden" of infections and lifestyle diseases. A majority of our people, including the rich, are malnourished owing to poor diet and wrong diet. And, the already malnourished are exposed to wrong lifestyle habits (under the influence of consumerism); thereby, they provide an ideal soil for multiplying lifestyle diseases like diabetes and hypertension.
Health cannot be achieved and maintained in compartments either in a person's body or in society. It should always be looked at in a holistic manner. Without social health care, we cannot achieve individual health care. We cannot maintain "special health zones" or health in one individual unless the whole family is healthy; a family cannot sustain it unless society is healthy.
Even a country cannot remain healthy for long unless we work for the health of every individual in the world. Tomorrow, we will be attacked by the same health problems around us. Let us thus work for social health or world health. Let us join hands to provide social security and human development because man is a social animal. Act locally, think globally.
