A basket of warm popovers with dinner is a real treat, but who wouldn't be happy to see them at any meal. Sharp cheddar cheese caramelizes in the crust to give these popovers a special flavor and rich color. Serve these with sweet butter alongside stews, soups, roasts, with breakfast, on a buffet, or all by themselves. It only takes a few minutes to mix the few ingredients. This is an inexpensive means to an exquisite end result. Continue reading

Brewer's Bread
After brewing an Imperial IPA over the weekend my son saved the spent grain, and passed some of it along to me. I used 2 cups of it in 2 loaves of bread, and stored the rest in my freezer. Not only is this a terrific use of something that ordinarily ends up in the compost, it is one of the best ingredients you can add to bread. This loaf has a moist, chewy crumb, and a nicely textured crust flecked with bits of malted barley. Continue reading
Scallion Pancakes
These pancakes are a classic appetizer formed of crispy layers holding thinly sliced scallions. The process of rolling out the dough, painting it with sesame oil, and then rolling it up like a jelly roll, making a spiral, and rolling it again creates these layers. Unlike most types of dough that call for using cold water this one uses boiling water to defeat the toughing influence of the gluten. When you roll it out you will notice that it doesn't try to pull back, but retains its shape. The dough has only 4 ingredients, and is easy to make. The result for such little effort is amazing. Continue reading
Crispy Salt and Pepper Flatbread
You can make different versions using this formula. Add different types of seeds such as: black sesame, flax, poppy, or cumin. Substitute rye flour for wholewheat and add caraway seeds. Add different herbs, minced garlic, or Parmesan cheese to the dough. Continue reading
Savory Mozzarella Bread Pudding
Serve this savory side dish for brunch or paired with spicy grilled chicken for a famous supper. Strings of melted mozzarella follow your fork as you eat it. The flavors suggest those found in a mellow pizza of sliced tomatoes, oregano, Parmesan, olive oil and Mozzarella—served up in a soft custard studded with cubes of crusty Italian bread. This is pure comfort food. Continue reading
Farls: Irish Potato Bread
Potatoes played a leading role in the meals of my childhood. My father's ancestors were almost exclusively from the English Midlands, Wales, and Ireland, save only his grandmother who was German. My mother traced her roots to Malcolm III, King of Scotland, who died in 1094. Given the significance of potatoes in this part of the world it's easy to see why we hardly ever saw anything but potatoes served with a meal. It seemed odd when rice was served. Continue reading
Vermont Cheddar Cheese Crackers
Made with extra sharp Vermont Cheddar, homemade crackers taste better than any you've ever bought in a box. Remarkably, they cost about the same. The real proof is the taste. These crackers are baked long enough for the cheese to start caramelizing. The dough is smooth, pliable, and far easier to work than pie pastry. The potato flour blocks the formation of gluten, which not only helps produce a superior cracker, but easily modeled dough. It can be rolled very thin, and still be handled without falling apart or being sticky. If you like big results with little effort try these crackers. Continue reading
Roti: Indian Flatbread
In terms of baked goods, roti has to rank among items having the greatest result for the least number of ingredients. If you are counting just flour and water that makes 2 ingredients. Traditionally, it is unsalted and therefore serves as an excellent foil to highly spiced or salty foods. It is an essential accompaniment for curries of all kinds. Roti can also be used for sandwiches—either wrapped in the entire flatbread, or cut in half and stuffed with your choice of filling. Use roti instead of tortillas to hold any number of grilled meats, vegetables, and sauces. Continue reading
Bread Pretzels with Cheddar-Heady Topper IPA Fondue
This recipe is a tribute to my favorite brewpub, The Alchemist of Waterbury, Vermont. At the end of August, when tropical storm Irene flooded downtown Waterbury, water inundated their building destroying everything inside. Thankfully, they plan to rebuild and open this winter. One of my favorite menu items is their platter of bread pretzel pieces served with a fondue of beer and cheese. I don't have their recipe, but I wanted create one using their Heady Topper IPA, now available in cans, in the dip. The extra hoppy flavors of this ale sing a duet with the earthy, herbal qualities of Cabot Seriously Sharp Cheddar. Continue reading
White Bean Soup with Zucchini and Eggplant, Tomato Pistou and Garlic Croutons
This recipe is all about garlic. Garlic in the soup, garlic in the pistou, and garlic croutons. The pureed cannellini beans give the soup a nice smooth body. Garden vegetables are the essential ingredients of summer cooking. Nothing tastes like produce in season. Enjoy it while you can. Pistou is often made without tomatoes, like pesto, but this version gives the soup a blast of ripe, uncooked tomatoes—a memorable flavor to be enjoyed when you can get it. Continue reading

(Eds: Updates with quotes, details. With AP Photos.) By CHARLES ODUM AP Sports Writer Mark Richt was stunned. During a break only minutes after Georgia scored its first touchdown early in Saturday night's game, Auburn fans suddenly cheered. Richt said at first he didn't know what led to the roar from the home fans at Jordan-Hare Stadium. Then he realized the Auburn fans were cheering top-ranked Alabama's loss to Texas A&M. ''After a little bit of thinking, I thought that might have been it,'' Richt said with a smile. The Alabama loss also could be big for No. 5 Georgia, though Richt said he didn't take time to consider the ramifications for his team. ''I didn't get too caught up in it,'' Richt said of the Alabama loss. ''I really was most concerned about this one.'' Richt's players followed his lead and kept their focus on Auburn. The result was the Bulldogs' most complete effort of the season in a 38-0 win that clinched Georgia's spot in the Southeastern Conference champi...

A certificate attested to by the provost marshal certified that G. Voncharles had taken a loyalty oath to the United States in November 1862.

The Thunderball Play Slip has 5 boards on it. Each board consists of 2 boxes. One box (marked 'SELECT FIVE') contains the numbers 1 to 39* from which you select five numbers. The other box (marked 'SELECT ONE') contains the Thunderball numbers 1 to 14 from which you select one number. If you'd like the terminal to choose your Thunderball numbers at random, mark the 'Lucky Dip' box on each of those boards on wish you wish to play 'Lucky Dip' or simply ask the retailer for a 'Lucky Dip'. (Note: You should not select a set of numbers and mark the 'Lucky Dip' box on the same board.) If you wish to make another Thunderball selection, use another board. Each board will cost you £1. Only use a pencil or a blue or black pen. Put a clear, bold, vertical line through each number you have chosen. If you make a mistake, mark the "void" box and use another board.
Choosing the number of weeks to play
On every Thunderball Play Slip, you'll see a section called 'No. of WEEKS' which lets you use the same set of numbers for up to eight weeks, starting with the next available draw. You must pay for your required number of weeks in advance.
Thunderball Results
When you've paid, the retailer will enter your selections into the terminal and give you a Thunderball ticket. You must check that the numbers you have selected, the number of weeks and the draw date(s) are correct, that the barcoded serial number is clearly readable and that the "void" box on your Thunderball ticket has not been marked. Then write your name and address on the back. Keep your ticket safe and don't lose it ! You'll need it to claim your prize, as it is the only proof that you are a winner. Check the latest Thunderball Results here.

Claiming your Thunderball winnings
If your prize is up to £75, you can claim it in cash from any National Lottery On-Line retailer. All you've got to do is give them your winning ticket to validate through their Lottery terminal. The terminal will then produce a validation slip which will show the value of your prize. Check this against the amount paid out and return it to the retailer. At their discretion, all retailers can pay prizes up to £200 in cash. Some National Lottery retailers are authorised to pay prizes of up to £500. National Lottery Post Offices will pay out prizes of up to £10,000, though prizes over £500 will be paid by cheque.
Anything above £10,000 must be claimed in person from a National Lottery Regional Centre and will be paid by cheque (no cash is held on these premises). If you match the five main numbers and the Thunderball number, please call The National Lottery Line immediately for assistance in claiming your prize. Ring 0845 9 100 000 (calls normally charged at local rate in the UK except for mobile phones).
To claim any prize above £500, you will have to complete a Prize Claim Form (available at National Lottery retailers or by phoning The National Lottery Line) and give proof of your identity. If you are claiming a large prize, additional checks on your winning ticket may be conducted. All National Lottery prizes must be claimed by 11.00pm, 180 days after the winning draw. You can also, at your own risk, claim your winnings up to £10,000 by post. Send your winning ticket and the completed Prize Claim Form to this address: The National Lottery, Accounts Dept., P.O. Box 287, Watford WD1 8TT
*Thunderball Changes
The rules of Thunderball changed on 9th May 2010. Prior to this date, and since the first Thunderball draw on 12th June 1999, the draw had been a pick 5 from 34 format. During those days there was no prize for just matching the Thunderball alone and the jackpot was only £250,000. After 9th May 2010 the draw became pick 5 from 39 and the jackpot doubled, although the chances of winning more than halved.

Lovely fitting jeans for Spring/Summer, come up a bit big, but I'm looking forward to wearing them when the weather gets better.
Christina McColl
on Tuesday, November 25, 2014
Beautiful fit and comfortable. Good material. Great value.
on Thursday, October 02, 2014
Nice style but come up very big.
on Tuesday, September 02, 2014
The waist is cut too low and the legs flare out rather than bring straight as in the pic. It is quite spacious as well. I'm a size 12 and I bought a size 10 and is still roomy. That said, it was a brilliant price in the sale for a comfy pair of casual denims.
on Tuesday, August 26, 2014
I'm a pear shape and found this pair of jean very comfortable. However, it is very low rise at the back.
on Wednesday, July 30, 2014
Comfortable and a good fit, I am very happy with these jeans. On hot days they are more comfortable than my over-bump jeans, and they look good. I do find myself pulling them up occassionally, but I guess this is typical of under-bump jeans.
on Monday, June 23, 2014
These trousers look good off but don't fit on! They are sit too low down. I know they are supposed to be under the bump trousers, and the front is fine but the back is too short. As soon as you bend over or try climbing the stairs they ride down and give you a builders bum! Not impressed. I've worn them a few times now and washed them so can't send them back really. Wish I had now.
on Friday, June 20, 2014
I really like them on, just wish they stayed up a bit better, am forever tugging them up. Perfect for summer though.
on Wednesday, June 18, 2014
Great fit, really comfy, nice dark colour and I really like the fact you adjust the waistband at the sides meaning they will be suitable from early to late pregnancy rather than the usual over the bump panels which are only good for later pregnancy.
on Tuesday, June 03, 2014
Really nice good quality jeans. Length was short, as reflected in the picture. The elasticated waste was nice and discreet and they would have been perfect for quite a long time (or until I became huge!). Unfortunately I had to return the jeans as they were very large through the leg and gaped at the knee. Disappointed, as they were perfect otherwise.
Emily Bailey
on Saturday, May 17, 2014
Bought these jeans before really needing them as was going on holiday. They are extremely comfortable with elastic sides and adjustable elastic through the back - all jeans should have this as makes them fit nicely! Service great and delivered promptly.
on Sunday, March 09, 2014
Look lovely but were absolutely enormous on me even though I had a big bump, gained a lot of weight and ordered my regular size. Could never get them to stay up. Pity as they do look nice.
on Wednesday, August 14, 2013
Really lovely low rises cropped jeans, generously sized - perfect for the summer weather.
on Friday, August 02, 2013
These jeans came up too big and the bottoms of them flared out quite oddly so I had to send them back unfortunately which is a shame as the material was nice and soft! I received a refund very promptly which was good. I ordered other items at the same time which were fine and would definitely order from Jojo Maman Bebe again.
on Thursday, August 01, 2013
Really great pair of jeans, comfy and stylish!
on Monday, July 22, 2013
I'm currently 21 weeks pregnant and these cropped jeans have already had a lot of wear and have plenty of room left for me to grow! I'm usually a size 10 and bought that size 10. They're a little baggy but wouldn't want them much tighter so wouldn't have gone a size down. Am very happy with them.
on Monday, July 08, 2013
I ordered size 12 which is the size I was wearing before I got pregnant but these were enormous! Unlike the photo in the catalogue suggests, they are very wide in the leg, not the style I wanted so I returned them.
Michelle Pike
on Monday, June 24, 2013
Lovely pair of cropped jeans. Very comfortable. I am usually a size 12 but ordered a 10 based on other reviews and they are a great fit
on Tuesday, June 18, 2013
Nice jeans, definitely recommend going a size smaller though, nice fit but I do find they tend to creep down a bit and that when sitting the button digs in ever so slightly but if I had a bigger size they would swamp me and probably fall down all the time! Nicely made and great for summer
Anna Louise
on Monday, June 17, 2013
These jeans are great, really comfortable and versatile. My staple for Summer!
Nicola Pengelly
on Friday, June 14, 2013
I brought these cropped jeans at 22 weeks for the summer ahead. I am normally a 14 but the 12 had plenty of room for growth. At 5ft10 they are the right length for me. Soooo comfy. Ideal with long maternity tops, but with shorter tops, I wear a bump band as they are low slung. Wash like rags too!!! Now at 25 wks and still perfect fit with space to grow! Great buy!
AC Taylor
on Monday, June 10, 2013
Not a perfect fit - quite gappy on the top of the calf and keep falling down but thanks to belt hooks can hold them up with a belt until my bump gets bigger. Good quality material though.
Laura Phillips
on Tuesday, May 28, 2013
Great pair of jeans, really comfortable - would recommend
Emma Suzanne Taylor
on Wednesday, May 08, 2013
Again, this is a fabulous addition to my Summer wardrobe! Comfortable and flattering and the denim mixes and matches with any outfit combination. Highly recommended :-)
on Thursday, May 02, 2013
Lovely! Extremely comfortable

After reading other reviews I went for the smaller size, a 10 (I'm usually a 10-12) which fits perfectly. The fit is comfortable although they are not as slim fitting as in the photos. Am planning to live in these on holiday. The only thing I don't like is the flowery stiching detail on the back pockets which isn't clear in the photos.

I ordered a size smaller than pre-pregnancy as I know that Jo Jo sizes are quite generous. They fit nicely but came too short on the leg for my taste. I'm 5ft 6 and they came just below my knee (I like them a little longer). They felt really nice and good quality but sent them back due to length.

I'm a pre-pregnancy size 8 Unfortunately these jeans were enormous, even in a size 8 so I had to return them. The waist band was very large and they were baggy in the leg which looked odd on my petite frame. It was a real shame as they would have been a really versatile item for my spring/summer bump.

I wear these lovely jeans a lot. At the moment due to the weather I wear them with boots, looks good, and then with sandals in the summer. I had to return my first order of a size 12, my previous pregnancy size as they were very large! A size 10 was a perfect fit. I was a little worried about the width of the turn ups as do prefer them to be a snug fit, but they still look good and are very comfy. As long as I don't wear shiny knickers they stay up pretty well, as lil hitch now and again, but no bother to me. Overall a good versatile bu uh x

Pre pregnancy I lived in my cropped jeans all year round. I had been looking for a pair to wear throughout my pregnancy and these are perfect, expecially now for the snowy weather, with a pair of sturdy boots. Really comfy and a good price.

I 'm very happy with the cropped jeans, they look like on the website and fit very well. Comfortable to wear. they were a great addition to my pregnant holiday wardrobe.

V comfortable - have been on my legs or washing line all the time since I bought them. Better fit and style than most mat jeans!
on Saturday, July 28, 2012
Good value and very comfy. I think the button sits at a slightly funny angle on my bump if I am wearing tighter vest tops but of no consequence with loser items. I hope they last me through the whole pregnancy!
on Saturday, July 21, 2012
Horribly uncomfortable - short in the body, so I constantly have to pull them up to stop them falling down!
on Tuesday, July 03, 2012
These are lovely cropped jeans. They give plenty of room to grow!
on Monday, July 02, 2012
These are great jeans and a really comfortable fit. Good quality, think denim. They have an adjustable waistband which is really useful as you grow. The only slight gripe is that they are under the bump. They don't seem to fall down while I'm walking around but I do need to pull them up if I've been sitting down. As I'm only just in the second trimester I've ordered a bump band to keep them in place. I would recommend them.

A good fit, lovely and comfy round my tummy and a good leg length.
on Wednesday, June 13, 2012
Comfy, good quality three-quarter length jeans. Only issue is that the sizing definitely comes up large. I ordered a 10, as was 8-10 pre-pregnancy and expecting twins, but these are still pretty huge - at 21 weeks I can wear them with a belt, and assume I'll grow into them, but was rather surprised that the fit around the leg was quite so roomy. Comfy, but rather slouchy.
on Wednesday, June 06, 2012
Really like these cropped jeans, very comfortable and look really smart. The only slight issue I have is that they seem to come down quite easily at the moment, but then again I don't have much of a bump just yet so hoping that as my waist expands these will stay up better.
on Monday, May 28, 2012
Fab jeans, really comfy, can't fault them
on Wednesday, May 23, 2012
These cropped jeans are really lovely. They fit really well and look flattering. Only downside is they are under the bump and don't have material over the bump but as I have bump bands I can wear those, or longer tops.

Brad Garrett book scheduled for 2015
NEW YORK (AP) - Brad Garrett is trying to make peace with middle age.
The comic and Emmy-winning actor from "Everybody Loves Raymond" has a deal with Gallery Books for the memoir "When the Balls Drop: How I Learned to Give Up, Stop Trying, and Enjoy Life's Second Half." Gallery, an imprint of Simon & Schuster, announced Thursday that the book is scheduled for 2015.
Garrett, 53, also plans to base a TV show on his memoir, according to Gallery. His many film and TV credits include "Finding Nemo," "Seinfeld" and "Night at the Museum."

text: Remember the good old days, when there were people who cared about reality TV? The early money was on "spunky" 25-year-old drug-company sales rep Brittany Petros to outlast her housemates/foes on Big Brother. Hometown rival Jean Jordan, for one, was an ex-stripper who came off as a borderline sociopath. (See "Best Local Girl Made Good" previous.) But there were mitigating factors: the hair, for instance, which made Brittany look like an extra from a Culture Club video. And, for a moment there, Brittany's penchant for earnestly (and often tearfully) discussing her virginity with her housemates made us wonder if perhaps a Minneapolitan might become the first person in history to be deflowered on prime-time national TV. Alas, it wasn't to be. In late August, nearly a month after Jordan got the heave-ho, Brittany became Big Brother casualty number four. The ignominy of it all.

Texas TV shows: Where were they actually filmed?
By John Boyd | May 12, 2014 | Updated: May 22, 2014 6:05pm
Photo By David Sucsy/Getty ImagesAccording to reports, HBO has greenlit a new Texas-based drama tentatively titled "God Bless Texas." The fictional show will apparently follow the story of a Texas rancher who gets into politics to save his way of life. Much of the show will presumably be set here in Austin, but it's still unknown where the show will actually film.
Photo By NBC/Jeff Riedel/NBCTV critic Jeanne Jakle calls NBC's new show "The Night Shift" an "emergency room drama with a crazy 'M*A*S*H' feel." The show is set in San Antonio, but filmed in New Mexico to take advantage of that state's tax breaks.
Photo By PAUL DRINKWATER/NBC"Friday Night Lights" – the beloved show based on the beloved movie based on the beloved book – is set in the fictional town of Dillon, and filmed in Austin and the surrounding suburbs.
Photo By Kevin Winter/Getty Images"Reba" starred country singer Reba McEntire as a Houston mom dealing with her crazy family. The show was filmed in Los Angeles.
The Emmy-winning "King of the Hill" was set in the fictional Texas town Arlen. The town is supposed to be located somewhere in Central Texas, but animators sent a mixed message as to exactly where throughout the show's run. Creator Mike Judge on separate instances has referred to the setting as based on Humble in the Houston suburbs and Richardson in the Dallas suburbs. However, a phone number on the local business Strickland Propane includes a Beaumont-Galveston (409) area code.
Photo By CBSThe famed Southfork Ranch that the Ewings called home in "Dallas" was actually located in Plano. However, the Cloyce Box Ranch often was used as a stand-in for Southfork in earlier seasons. Throughout the series, producers filmed portions of the series in Los Angeles to keep production costs down.
Photo By Zade RosenthalPrimary shooting for the "Dallas" reboot was done in Dallas, Plano and Southfork.
Photo By Scott Newton/Associated PressPBS' long-running concert series "Austin City Limits" has been filmed in the state capital since 1976.
Photo By Rebecca Fondren"Top Chef: Texas" was filmed in various cities across the state, including Austin, Dallas and San Antonio, but bizarrely its finale was filmed in Canada.
Photo By Byron Cohen/HandoutAn El Paso detective is forced to team up with an officer from Mexico when a body is found on the Texas-Mexico border in "The Bridge." A few scenes for the FX series were shot in El Paso, but Los Angeles was the primary filming location.
Photo By CBS Photo Archive/Getty Images"Walker, Texas Ranger" was set in locations across Texas, but filmed primarily around Dallas-Fort Worth.
Photo By Houston Chronicle"Wishbone" was a popular children's television show set in the fictional Oakdale, Texas starring a dog named Wishbone who dreamed of taking part in his favorite books. Exterior shots of the show were filmed in Allen, Texas. Interior shots were filmed in Plano.
Photo By Bill Matlock/APThe short-lived primetime oil soap "Lone Star" was set and shot in Midland and Dallas.
Photo By MTVMTV's "Beavis & Butt-Head" lived in the fictional Texas town Highland. (Note: A town named Highland does exist southwest of Fort Worth, but with only 60 people according to the 2000 U.S. Census, it's safe to assume this is not the same town where the animated duo went mall shopping and held down jobs at the local Burger World.)
The reality show "Storage Wars: Texas" is filmed at storage units across Texas, but primarily near Dallas.
Photo By HOEPA spin-off of the theatrical vampire shoot-em-up of the same name, "From Dusk Till Dawn: The Series"is filmed in Austin but set on the Texas-Mexico border.
Photo By Jack Plunkett/AP"Real World: Austin" was really set in Austin (but that was just about the only real thing about it).
Photo By Earl J McGehee/Houston Chronicle"Rollergirls" was an A&E reality series centering around an Austin roller derby league.
Photo By Sharon Ellman/Associated Press"Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders: Making the Team" was filmed in Irving, then Arlington after the team changed stadiums.
Photo By Style NetworkFive rich Dallas-area moms co-starred in the Style Network's reality series, "Big Rich Texas."
"Texas Country Reporter" debuted in 1972 as on Dalas' KDFW as "4 Country Reporter." Bob Phillips became host in 1986 and began syndicating the travel show to stations across the state under the new name.
Photo By Animal copsThe reality show "Animal Cops: Houston" is filmed, as you would guess, in Houston and Harris County.

Upset with the lawlessness in his hometown, Landtry, Texas, storekeeper Roy Bean decides to take action in "Judge Roy Bean," which debuted in 1956. The show was filmed in Pioneertown, California.

Production is underway for this upcoming flick, which will film in San Antonio, Austin, and the Dallas/Fort Worth area. The movie is a heartwarming and heartbreaking tale of Longhorns player Freddie Steinmark and his relationship with the iconic coach Darrell K. Royal (played by Golden Globe nominee Aaron Eckhart, left) during the team's 1969 run to the national championship.

"The Night Shift," a new NBC medical drama set in San Antonio, debuts Tuesday, May 27, but if you're a TV buff looking to go visit the set of your favorite Texas-based show, you better gas up.
Like many Texas shows, "The Night Shift" isn't actually filmed in Texas.
Despite being set inside the emergency room at the fictional San Antonio Memorial and a few shots of local landmarks getting thrown in, "The Night Shift" largely is being filmed in Albuquerque, New Mexico, reports MySanAntonio.com TV blogger Jeanne Jakle.
The reason: money ... of course. The state known as the Land of Enchantment has enchanted producers with a 30 percent tax rebate for shooting in New Mexico.
Check out the slideshow above to see which other popular Texas-based TV shows were actually filmed inside the Lone Star State and where.

Members of the FSA take up positions during clashes with forces loyal to Assad in the old city of Aleppo.
BEIRUT: Intense clashes between the Syrian army and rebel fighters near the country's second-largest airport killed around 150 people in recent days, anti-regime activists said Friday, pointing to the significance both sides in the country's civil war place on controlling key infrastructure.
The battle for the international airport near Aleppo, Syria's largest city, resembles other battles over strategic assets that could provide an edge in the larger fight for the country.
This week, rebels seized a hydroelectric dam and a major oil field, cutting off President Bashar Assad's regime from key resources necessary for its long term survival.
Activists also reported Friday that rebels had seized an air defense base and fought near two other army installations in Syria's north.
Rebels have been trying for months to capture Aleppo's international airport, which lies east of the city in a complex with a smaller military airfield and an army base charged with protecting the area.
The base, home to the Syrian army's 80th Brigade, fell to rebel forces Wednesday, and fighting has continued over the airports since, with both sides shelling each other's positions.
The Britain-based opposition group, the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights reported Friday that some 150 people had been killed in the fighting over the last two days, roughly half of them rebels and the rest government troops.
"The operation will continue until we control the airport and Nairab," Col. Abdel-Jabbar al-Aqidi, commander of the rebels' Military Council in Aleppo, told pan-Arab Al-Arabiya TV.
If the rebels were to capture the two airports, it would be a symbolic blow to the regime and could shift the strategic balance in northern Syria.
The regime has used the airports to ferry supplies to its forces bogged down in the stalemated fight for Aleppo, though recent clashes near the airport have halted air traffic.
Rebel leaders hope their forces will someday use the airports to fly in aid and other supplies – a scenario that for the moment appears unlikely.
The rebels have captured military airports before but have never managed to use captured aircraft.
And the airport would remain vulnerable to attack by Assad's air force, which regularly bombs areas after the rebels take them.
Elsewhere, the Observatory reported Friday that rebels had seized an air defense base in the village of Hasil, southeast of Aleppo, and were clashing with the army at the nearby Kuwiras air base and around the Wadi al-Deif army base in Idlib province.
The relentless violence has led to deteriorating humanitarian conditions for millions of Syrians.
In Geneva, the U.N. World Food program said some 40,000 Syrians had fled the northeastern town of Shadadah. Rebels seized the town and most of a nearby oil filed in days of clashes this week.
Most of those who have fled went to the provincial capital of Hassakeh province, which produces most of Syria's oil.
The U.N. says nearly 70,000 people have been killed since Syria's crisis started in March, 2011.
Syria's conflict has posed a dilemma for the international community.
While the U.S. and many Arab and European countries have called on Assad to leave power, Russia, China and Iran continue to back the regime. Russia, which has been Syria's primary arms provider for decades, has said it will continue to fulfill its arms contracts.
International diplomacy has failed to stop the violence and calls for the sides to negotiate a political solution have gone nowhere.
The opposition's main umbrella group, the Syrian National Coalition, said in a statement Friday it would not allow Assad or members of his security services to participate in talks to end the crisis.
It did not rule out, however, dialogue with some members of his ruling Baath party, welcoming talks with "honorable people" from all parts of society who "have not been embroiled in the crimes against the Syrian people."
Still, neither side has proposed a concrete plan for talks.
In Turkey, Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoglu proposed that the U.N. Security Council set up humanitarian zones that would be under joint government-opposition control to facilitate the delivery of aid to Syrian civilians.
He did not elaborate on the proposal, which he mentioned in an address to Turkish and E.U. legislators, and criticized world powers for failing to agree on how to stop Syria's war.
"If the U.N. Security Council won't act with the death toll in Syria reaching 70,000 and with millions being left hungry and begging for bread in winter conditions, then when will it act?" Davutoglu asked.
The Syrian government, for its part, sent a letter to the United Nations blasting Turkey's "destructive" role in the conflict. The Syrian Foreign Ministry's letter accused Turkey of harboring "terrorists from Al-Qaeda's network," the SANA news agency said.
The ministry also accused Ankara of taking "increasingly hostile stances toward Syria by blocking ... measures taken by Damascus for a political solution to the crisis."
The letter, published by SANA, also criticized Turkey for "pressuring Syrian opposition members to refuse a plan" proposed in a speech by Assad on Jan. 9.
"Turkey supports and publicly justifies terrorist, destructive acts" against Syria, said the ministry in letters addressed to the U.N. Security Council and to Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon.
"Turkey has turned its territory into camps used to house, train, finance and infiltrate armed terrorist groups, chief among them the Al-Qaeda network and the Nusra Front," said the letter.

Alcatel Mobile Phones Offer Affordable Innovation
Some of the hottest brands of mobile phones today make a number of promises with their products, but end up failing upon delivery. Alcatel mobile phones, however, provide a comparable level of innovation to today's most desired Android phones, including the Samsung Galaxy series, for a fraction of the price. If you're ready to have a one touch experience that will help you become more productive and reliably connected no matter where you happen to be, then you're ready for an Alcatel mobile phone.
How Good Are Alcatel Mobile Phones?
Alcatel is a global manufacturer of Mobile Phones for one simple reason: they combine form and function in an affordable way so that the average person or household can have one of the best phones available today. They are the fastest growing manufacturer of mobile phones in their demographic and because they are a brand of TCL Communication, they automatically have a reputation of being able to provide smartphones at smart prices.
One of the fastest moving phones right now is the Alcatel One Touch Idol X. This phone features a full HD display and will bring out the inner photographer in you thanks to the 13.1 MP primary camera. It offers 12 hours of 3G talk time on just one battery charge and has 16 GB of internal memory at your disposal so you can run all of your apps. HD video recording is possible thanks to the 30 frames per second rate and with 2 GB of RAM and a 1.5 GHz quad core processor supporting your multitasking needs, you'll be able to connect quickly and efficiently.
It's easy to see why this phone is compared to the Apple iPhone or the Samsung Galaxy S4. It offers a full slate of modern features, but for a surprisingly good price. Even if you're interested in getting a BlackBerry Z3 or a Karbonn Titanium Hexa, you should think about an Alcatel mobile phone first.
What Could an Alcatel Mobile Phone Do For You?
Even if you don't have a lot of money right now, a smartphone is still possible to purchase today thanks to phones like the Alcatel One Touch Star. This Android-based mobile phone may need a battery pack to get you through a full day, but it does offer 4 GB of internal memory at a price point you won't believe! It has 512 MB of RAM and runs on 1 GHz dual core processor, making the 4 inch display perfectly useful for your next task.
Whether you need a mobile phone that offers full office productivity options or you just want a mobile phone that will let you make calls when you need them, then Alcatel has a reliable option for you to consider today. You shouldn't have to sacrifice the money you've worked hard to earn just to get a phone that has the features you want. With the entire series of Alcatel mobile phones, you won't ever have to do that!

When Janet's marriage ended in divorce, her Nebraska house sold quickly, requiring that she relocate with two very young children within two weeks. She wisely turned to her friend, Kay, whose marriage had
also recently ended. Janet and the children moved in with Kay and her
four children and they both considered their options.

When you click open Bellerose.be, you're surprised by the minimal approach of the clothing label. The homepage is more of a table, with click-able categories. The brand's own description is very brief, too: settled in 1989, in Belgium, as a men's clothing line, to which a women's line was added in 1998 and another for kids in 2002. We would expect a collection from Bellerose to be just as simple. But, while the clothes in their spring-summer collection are basic, they're also fun and fresh.
With the aid of the most basic, classic and overused props in the world, chairs and flowers, Bellerose manages to create this interesting look book that does anything but bore. It's actually dynamic, exciting, and it leaves you wanting more. Inspiration comes from "vintage garments and genuine work-wear", as the brand puts it. This brings on utilitarian pieces, which don't go out of style in a blink of an eye.
The styles in this spring-summer collection are super casual, easy to wear with other Bellerose items, but also easy to integrate in one's own wardrobe. Some of the things that caught my eye in the women's section are the masculine brogues, that gorgeous lace dress worn with a military jacket and sneakers, a striped maxi dress, layered polka dot pieces, the green knee length skirt and the red shorts. As for the men, there are plenty of interesting pieces for them, too: the neon yellow long sleeve, the nautical look of stripes and white pants or brick orange pants. I'd say such outfits are not for everyone, and you have to be a bit bold to wear them – but I know you, Pixics fans, can handle your fashion risks and experiments.
And speaking of experiments, I love most of the combos in this look book. The mixture of sporty, casual, preppy, retro and even geek is quite amazing. They will mix graphic tees with blazers, sequins with cotton, and sneakers with lace. While such combos are not necessarily out of the ordinary in today's world, they still remain a breath of fresh air and something that we'd like to see more of.
So stripes, plaid, polka dots, full colors – Belgian brand Bellerose takes them all and mixes them to perfection on their cargo pants, blazers, button down shirts or dresses. I think they're pretty much ready for the new season!
What's your favorite look in the collection?

A blog on the latest applications, articles, & research on chromatography solutions in sample preparation, Ion Chromatography (IC),High Pressure Liquid Chromatography (HPLC), Ion Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (IC-MS), Gas Chromatography (GC), Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (GC-MS and GC-MS/MS), and software (Chromeleon CDS, LIMS, and ProteinCenter).

Our Applications Lab in Sunnyvale, California, recently released this application note featuring an ion chromatography method for the analysis of Dried Distillers Grains with Solubles (DDGS). This is the third and last in our series of applications notes covering the analysis of DDGS, a byproduct of ethanol production from corn. The previous two application notes are featured in the following blog posts:
As described in the previous application notes, DDGS are the dried remains of the production of ethanol from corn by fermentation and are sold for animal feed. Their mineral content must be known so that the feed can be properly formulated to ensure that the animals are getting the proper nutrition. A total phosphorous determination does not yield the necessary information because phosphate present in phytic acid and other inositol phosphates is nutritionally unavailable. Hence, DDGS are supplemented with inorganic phosphorus to meet the dietary needs of nonruminant animals. Additionally, processing factors such as fermentation, drying, and pelleting contribute to the nutritional variation in DDGS, and, therefore, it is important to determine phosphorus bioavailability for nonruminant animals.
Application Note 1070, Determination of Inositol Phosphates in Dried Distillers Grains with Solubles, (downloadable PDF), presents a rapid and reliable method that simplifies sample preparation of the DDGS samples by eliminating the traditional capture/release procedures and sample drying steps. This is done by using two sample preparation cartridges (Thermo Scientific Dionex OnGuard II RP Cartridge and Thermo Scientific Dionex OnGuard II AG/H Cartridge) in series. The Dionex OnGuard II RP cartridge removes interfering hydrophobic compounds and the AG/H cartridge removes excess chloride ions in the extraction solution that would otherwise overload the column.
Using our latest high-pressure ion chromatography system (Thermo Scientific Dionex ICS-5000+ HPIC system) equipped with our variable wavelength detector (Thermo Scientific Dionex VWD-3400RS Variable Wavelength Detector) and one of our carbhohydrate columns (Thermo Scientific Dionex CarboPac PA100 Analytical column), our chemists were able to separate 25 inositol phosphate peaks in an in-house prepared reference standard and a DDGS sample in less than 45 min.
By the way, this application should also be of interest to biologists analyzing tissues and plant materials for inositol phosphates.
Do visit our biofuels webpage for more chromatography applications; we also have a small but growing library of chromatography research articles and applications on this blog that you might find interesting.
Do enter any questions you might have on this solution or the application note in the Comments box below; our experts will be pleased to hear from you.

Ross T. BenderGoshen, IN
KNOCK, KNOCK, KNOCK! It wasn't the sort of gentle tap made by friends and neighbors. It was loud and insistent and could not be ignored. When I opened the door a small crack to see who was there, the stranger standing there did not wait to be invited in but admitted himself and announced, "My name is Parkinson. Just call me PD for short. We're going to be seeing a lot of each other."
My education about Parkinson's was about to begin.
I didn't know anything about PD. All I knew was that something was the matter with my body and I needed to see my doctor to find out what it was.
My family doctor referred me to a neurologist who put me through some tests, including an MRI to see whether my carotid arteries were blocked. They weren't. None of the other tests revealed much information either.
Since the tests were inconclusive, no clear diagnosis emerged. I learned that PD is hard to diagnose and that the only sure way to make a diagnosis was to perform an autopsy. I decided that I didn't need to know that badly.
Sometime later, however, I made an appointment with a doctor in the Neurology Department of the Mayo Clinic. He examined me and stated unequivocally that it was PD that was causing these changes in my body.
He further stated that he was very optimistic about the new therapies that are even now on the near horizon and that there is guarded hope in the medical community that PD can be slowed down and perhaps even stopped in its tracks in the near future.
The symptoms with which I learned to cope included rigidity of movement, lack of balance, weakened voice, cramped handwriting, difficulty in dressing, getting in and out of my car, and getting out of an easy chair. I began walking with a cane and later purchased a walker which made it much easier to get around.
I had some good days and some not so good days. On the good days when I remembered to take my medications on time I could move around quite well. On other days I learned keenly the meaning of the term "movement disorder".
Another lesson is that PD is no respecter of persons. Whenever I ask the question "Why me?" back comes the response "Why NOT you?" Why did PD visit Muhammad Ali? Michael J. Fox? Janet Reno? Pope John XXIII? Or Billy Graham? Each is representative of a large and diverse population. Not that it is a great honor to be a member of such an exclusive club, but it helps to know that you have not been singled out for such a dubious distinction.
Not only have I learned about PD, but I have learned about myself. I believe that I have a choice to think of myself not as an *IN*valid, nor as in*VAL*lid, but as a whole human being who has medical problems which I must learn to manage.
I am still a person created in the image of God. I have much to learn and even to offer to others. I have friends who help me to preserve my personal dignity. At a time when it appears to be threatened or violated through loss of privacy or autonomy they are an effective antidote to depression. They keep hope alive.

The management of Anita Hotel, a highly rated hospitality firm at Ejisu, last Wednesday brought smiles on the faces of inmates of the Garden City Special School, when they treated them to a special pre-Christmas party.
The inmates were additionally provided free eye and medical services by highly qualified health personnel contracted by the hotel management.
The programme, dubbed Anita Hotel Special Carols, is an annual occasion organised by the Executive Director of the facility, Mrs. Janet Sefa-Boakye, as part of the hotel's social responsibility.
It is also aimed at bringing the plights of the inmates to the attention of society.
About hundreds of the inmates were treated to sumptuous meals prepared by chefs of the hotel, amid Gospel songs from some selected artistes in Kumasi.
Mrs. Janet Sefa-Baokye, in a short address at the ceremony, said the objective of the annual programme was to inspire the inmates to enable them cultivate a high sense of belonging in society.
She noted that a lot of attention needed to be given to pupils of the school, because of their peculiar situation, and this, she said, would go a long way to enhance their personal development.
Mrs. Sefa-Boakye said the development of the intellectually handicapped was the responsibility of each and every single member of society, and therefore, appealed to philanthropists especially, to constantly come to their aid.
Besides organising an annual party for the inmates, the hotel, according to the Executive Director, also assists the school in various ways, in terms of funding and the provision of logistics.
The Headmistress of the school, Dr. Rosaline Frimpomaa Agyapong, noted that the major challenges of the school were the delay in the release of feeding grants and lack of classroom facilities.
She indicated that the available infrastructure cannot accommodate the increasing number of students, and would, therefore, require assistance from the government and other civil society groups.
"We run the facility solely on our little budget available; currently, we feed the inmates on GH¢1.80 a day, this is woefully inadequate, besides since we do not charge fees, we are forced to depend on the little budget available," she lamented.

I recently upgraded my home network to 1 Gbps and discovered that my connection through the Ultrabase will only go up to 100 Mbps. If I undock my X200T and directly plug in my ethernet cable into it, the speed is 1 Gbps. Any ideas?
I thought the Ultrabase connection was a pass-thru only. Is there something in the docking unit itself that is limiting the speed?
BTW, all my other other connections including my server, T410s, Mini Dock 3 work fine.
Thanks in advance.

The hulls are durable and do not conduct or reflect heat as much as synthetic fills, making them cool in the summer and "warm in the winter," providing an ideal sleeping temperature for your little love.
As with Kapok, a good vacuum and some fresh air usually does the trick. Buckwheat hulls may not get wet. If your buddy has an accident, you may open zipper, empty out hulls, machine wash outer cover and buy fresh hulls online. Or buy a replacement buckwheat bed from us.
Our poly-fill is super fluffy and is made from recycled plastic bottles. It is lighter weight than our other materials and will feel more like a standard dog bed.
These babies can be thrown in the wash on a cool gentle cycle and machine dried with no heat. They will air dry in a jiffy.
Katie draws the patterns and illustrations and designs the products for See Scout Sleep in her studio that she shares with her other business, Logan Killen Interiors. She started See Scout Sleep as a way to investigate her interest in pattern design and also because she simply needed a better looking dog bed. Katie's native Louisisana is a constant source of inspiration as well as the worlds of interior design and fashion. Photograph by Daymon Gardner
The one and only Ms. Maida. This one woman show sews her tail off for See Scout Sleep in Franklinton, LA. Maida works closely with the team to create samples and new designs and also keeps up with production in the US. She has been with us from day one.
The queen of embroidery! Erin is our fibers expert who currently resides in Oakland, CA. She works on specialty collections with us, like the embroidered feed sack beds for Free People. And she is the coolest.

Abstract Expressionist New York
October 3, 2010–April 25, 2011
Echo: Number 15, 1951 is a radical departure from Pollock's earlier "drip" paintings. In contrast to the explosive energy and multidirectional force of One: Number 31, 1950, made the previous year, Echo: Number 15, 1951 has a lyrical economy, and, though abstract, the painting flirts with figuration. Pollock recognized this, and he wrote in a letter to a friend, "I've had a period of drawing on canvas in black—with some of my early images coming thru—think the non-objectivists will find them disturbing—and the kids who think it simple to splash a Pollock out."
Abstract Expressionist New York: The Big Picture, October 3, 2010- April 25, 2011
Curator, Ann Temkin: Pollock made this painting in 1951. It's a radical departure from the splendor of the drip paintings, which had brought him great fame just a year or so year before. Here he intentionally limits his palette to just black, a really inky black on raw canvas, and creates a lyrical calligraphic line that might recall Chinese ink painting.
Director, Glenn Lowry: Collector Ben Heller was the first owner of this painting. He bought it from Pollock soon after it was made.
Ben Heller: It's so delicate. You see that almost face-like figure in the upper left-hand corner. You'll see that and you'll see these other kind of movements. You can both say, "Gee whiz, that's like trained art but on the other hand, it is anti-trained art because it just seems to go anywhere and anyway, in its own particular rhythm or it's carrying itself along in some way all by itself. It's totally unstructured and totally structured. How you can do the two together is remarkable.
