Michael Ryder scored two power-play goals, and the Montreal Canadiens beat the Florida Panthers 5-2 on Sunday night. David Desharnais, Brian Gionta, and Francis Bouillon also scored, and P.K. Subban had three assists. Ryder has seven assists and two goals in seven games since being acquired from Dallas on Feb. 26. Peter Budaj stopped 14 shots for the Canadiens, who won for the fourth time on their five-game trip and earned their ninth road victory of the season. The Canadiens swept the season series from the Panthers. Tomas Kopecky and Shawn Matthias scored for Florida, and Jacob Markstrom made 33 saves. The Panthers have lost six of seven and 13 of 16. Ryder's second goal was scored at 15:53 of the third on a tip-in of a shot by Subban that made it 5-2. The Canadiens scored a pair of goals late in the second to stretch their lead to 4-0. Subban took a shot from above the right circle that Markstrom blocked, but Gionta grabbed the rebound and poked the puck in at 15:35. A littl...

Great Mats!

Great mats, great fit, great price. I even went back to order the cargo mat.

The Lexus Cross Sport had been discontinued some years back and the mats are definitely odd shaped, so I was a little apprehensive about how the mats would fit. Absolutely perfect fit, they look great.

Pizza Hut Partners with Country Music Star Blake Shelton on New Line of BBQ Pizzas
May is all about moms, grads and that itch to drive with the windows down and sunroof open blasting your favorite tunes. Ultimately, the month serves as the launch-pad to a summer filled with enjoying outdoor activities and celebrating an iconic American tradition: barbecue.
As an appropriate host of the backyard celebration, Pizza Hut announced today that the brand has partnered GRAMMY nominated artist Blake Shelton to launch a new line of BBQ Pizzas in three distinct flavors: Blake's Smokehouse BBQ, Hawaiian BBQ and Honey BBQ Chicken.
"Growing up in Ada, Oklahoma, Pizza Hut was a big deal in my community," said Shelton. "As a fan of BBQ and pizza, it has been a blast to partner with Pizza Hut to bring two of my favorite foods together."
A pizza and BBQ enthusiast, Shelton played a key role in inspiring the new menu items from Pizza Hut. So much so, the Smokehouse BBQ recipe is named in his honor. Blake's Smokehouse BBQ and the other two BBQ recipes will be available beginning May 12 as a summer staple for $11 and consumers can enjoy a 2-liter Pepsi product for just $1 more. Also, from May 18-26, a medium BBQ recipe pizza is $5 with the purchase of any large pizza online.
"The authenticity that Blake brings as a performer, personality and backyard BBQ enthusiastic made him the ultimate fit for this launch and our brand," said Jared Drinkwater, Senior Director of Marketing, Pizza Hut. "We're so thrilled to have him as a partner and truly excited to bring our real backyard BBQ flavors to pizza."
The three BBQ pizza recipes from Pizza Hut feature a savory toasted cheddar edge on the brand's new Hand-Tossed crust and are topped with a Honey BBQ sauce. The three recipes include:
- Blake's Smokehouse BBQ: With a southern twist and Blake's inspiration, this pie features hardwood smoked bacon, smoked ham flavored with a hint of sugar and juicy pork.
- Hawaiian BBQ: Featuring a tropical island favorite with a BBQ infused taste, this pizza provides smoked ham flavored with a hint of sugar, pieces of sweet pineapple and crisp green peppers.
- Honey BBQ Chicken: A classic BBQ combination, this pizza is topped with tender, all-white meat chicken, hardwood smoked bacon and sweet red onions.
"The new line of Pizza Hut BBQ Pizzas combines the bold flavors of our cheddar crust, sweet honey BBQ sauce and hand-picked ingredients to deliver recipes that satisfy with every single bite," said Wiley Bates III, Executive Chef at Pizza Hut. "We drew inspiration from Blake Shelton in forming recipes that are distinctive yet appealing to a variety of tastes and we think the results are really going to wow those consumers looking for adventurous flavors in their food."
Pizza Hut and Blake Shelton fans from around the country will have their own chance to snap a portrait with the star and the BBQ pie. In select Pizza Hut restaurants and high traffic areas around the country, life-size cutouts of Blake holding his Smokehouse BBQ Pizza will be affixed for fans to Capture a "Shelfie," a Shelton inspired take on the selfie. Fans are encouraged to share their "Shelfie" with Pizza Hut socially for potential surprise and delight giveaways, including free pizzas. More information will be available through the Pizza Hut twitter account. The cutouts will appear in select Pizza Hut restaurants, as well as Blake's hometown of Ada, Okla., plus Los Angeles, Las Vegas, Nashville and other notable locations across the country.

5th rd. prospect
NFL Draft Countdown wrote:Has good size...Decent speed...Can really be a force at times...Good strength...Productive...Has some upside if coaches can get him to play hard all the time.
NFL Draft Scout wrote:His lateral agility allows him to string plays wide and he has proven to be an effective tackler on the move. Tyler plays with a good motor and is best when he can chase down plays from the backside. He is adequate to find the ball and shows urgency getting to it once he locates the pigskin. King could be more stout at the point of attack, but even when he is engulfed by the offensive tackles, he will continue to fight until the whistle.
He seems to be a player that is similar to Brady Smith. He's not very big, nor does he seem like a great pass rusher, but he seems like a hard worker that tries to overcome his size. He doesn't look like a guy that is going to more than a Brady Smith type on the next level. If he can put things together, he seems like a guy that can start and be a 4-6 sack guy, but nothing more. The fact, that he's going to have to improve in order to reach that plateau doesn't bode well for him.

Welcome, wrestling aficionados....Thanks for swingin' by the Den! WrestleMania season is far from here, but it's something that is always prevalent in my mind, so I put together my dream WM XXX card. I'm not saying this is what the card will or should be; Just sharing my personal dream scenario. I based my card loosely on current WWE storylines to make my card as believable as possible.

10. Kane
I think that WWE should include Kane a little more in the shows, like they used to. He's a great wrestler and deserves to get title shots and be in main event matches. He used to be unstoppable, but now WWE has pushed him aside. He still has matches, but not the kind he should.
9. Shawn Michaels
Shawn, also known as "Mr. Wrestlemania" has also been around
I read in the forum about putting Drew McIntyre back in his Chosen one gimmick and I stopped and thought of all the horrible and amazing transitions that either broke the character or helped the character.

Hogan ended by saying "whatcha gonna do when TNA and all the Hulkamaniacs become number one wrestling company in the world and run wild on you!" That is how Hogan ended his first promo inside a TNA ring. Hogan is probably the most well known wrestler in the world. Non-wrestling fans know who the man is. A lot of people dub him the greatest of all-time comparisons such as the MJ or Babe Ruth of pro

According to multiple sources, Vince McMahon has not been pleased with Monday Night Raw's ratings and rightfully so. Monday Night Raw has battled against both the NBA and the NHL playoffs, and as a result people have seen their ratings decrease. When facing strong competition on TV, WWE loyalist will always use that big competition as an excuse to why the ratings were low. In truth, a TV show itself

If I were in charge of the booking for the money in the bank PPV I would capitalize on all the momentum from the last week and book a strong show to feed into Summer Slam. I think with the current roster and programs I could book a show to rival Payback and keep the WWE PPV summer Renaissance alive.

Thursday the clouds were still hanging around when I got up, but I tossed the rain gear on just incase. I headed north to the local motorcycle dealership Mountain Motors to get a lighter pair of riding gloves as I had forgot my warm weather gloves. Sitting at the intersection waiting to turn to go up the hill to the dealer I hear some loud clanging and banging just behind me. Turns out that the construction company that was working on the road that went up the hill had just had a large equipment hauling trailer come unhooked from a truck, roll down the side of the hill across six lanes and into the ditch
. Amazingly it managed to not hit anyone, but the guy in the semi sitting next to me rolled down the window and ask if I had seen that too.
Next I was off to find a spot to camp, I picked the Elkmont campground which is on the road that takes you to Cades Cove. I got a nice spot right on the river, and found out that the black bears had started making their way down from higher elevations, I actually saw two full grown and two cubs less than an half mile from my tent.

RaboDirect Pro 12: 100 games for Ross Ford for Edinburgh in game against Zebre
Last Updated: 29/03/13 5:46pm
Ross Ford: Set for 100th appearance for Edinburgh
Edinburgh and Scotland hooker Ross Ford will reach a big milestone for his team on Friday as he makes his 100th appearance in their away game at Zebre.
Ford will bring up his century in Friday's RaboDirect PRO12 clash with Zebre at Stadio XXV Aprile.
Ford's landmark will see him edge past the number made by interim coach, Stevie Scott, during his tenure as hooker from 1998 to 2002.
"Ross has been an exceptional servant to Edinburgh and Scottish Rugby, keeping himself in immense mental and physical condition throughout a very distinguished career to date," said Scott.
"He's a fantastic character and role model to young players and shows the relentless dedication you would expect from someone who has won 69 caps, captained his country and toured with the British Lions.
"It's great to have someone of his calibre reach such a milestone at the club."
Ford is one of four Scotland internationalists to return to the front-line following last weekend's 14-8 victory over Ulster at Murrayfield.

1879 Flowing Hair Stella, PR67 Cameo1879 $4 Flowing Hair, Judd-1635, Pollock-1833, R.3, PR67 Cameo NGC. From a design by Chief Engraver Charles Barber, the 1879 Flowing Hair stella, designated as Judd-1635 in the standard pattern reference, is one of the most popular pattern issues of all time. Originally produced to demonstrate a proposed international coinage, similar in concept to the Euro of today, records indicate that 15 stellas were originally struck and distributed to the Congressional Committee on Coinage as part of three-piece sets that also included two goloid metric dollars, Judd-1617 and Judd-1626. The sets were supposedly struck in Dr. Wheeler Hubbell's patented goloid alloy, consisting of gold, silver, and copper in various proportions.

Among the Finest Certified
The "goloid" sets proved extremely popular, and another 400 sets were ordered and offered for sale at $6.10 to congressmen. These sets were produced in standard silver and gold alloy, and many researchers doubt that any sets were actually struck in the goloid mixture. A few examples have been tested in recent times, with nondestructive testing, but all results have been inconclusive, at best. Unsold sets were offered to collectors at a steep markup of $15 per set. The 1879 Flowing Hair stellas were particularly popular, and it seems likely that at least 700 of these coins were eventually struck at different intervals over the next few years. Four dollar gold coins were also produced in a Coiled Hair design by Assistant Engraver George Morgan in 1879, and both Flowing Hair and Coiled Hair stellas were also struck with an 1880 date, but none of these later issues was produced in significant numbers, and all are very rare today.
Unfortunately, there were many practical objections to the proposed international coinage, and no coins were ever produced for circulation. The goloid sets were immediately popular with collectors, many of whom resented the preferential treatment congressmen and other insiders were given in the distribution of the sets. The sets began appearing at auction as early as the Twelfth Sale of Coins and Medals (S.K. Harzfeld, 6/1880), when a set was offered in lots 393-395. After describing the coins in their separate lots, Harzfeld published a long discussion of the issue, including the following:
"This is one of the original 15 sets, submitted to Congress. As to the value, I need only say that a gentleman at Washington refused, some time ago, $100 for one of these original sets. The pieces will be sold separately, without reserve, to the highest bidder; but should there be a fair bid for the lot, when the first piece is put up, the right is reserved to sell the three pieces as a set. The pieces are the more desirable, as there is not the least doubt that they will not be accepted for our coinage.
"The adoption of the Gold piece instead of improving our coinage would be a decidedly retrograde movement. Not merely that, for the old design of the United States coinage some 75 years ago, was more beautiful, and more practical for the purpose of circulation. The 'Goloid Dollar' being the size of a Half Dollar, would open the door to wholesale counterfeiting, and deceiving the unwary, as its general appearance does not indicate the little gold in it. And as to the Metric Dollar, the 4.2 parts gold in it, may just as well be left out. But the most important objection is, that the acceptance of 'goloid' would force the U.S. Government to pay a royalty to Mr. Hubbell, the 'original inventor' as he styles himself, of this metal for coinage."
The coins sold as a set for $32.50, considerably more than the standard asking price of the year before, but less than the $100 Harzfeld's Washington collector refused for his set. Apparently, Congress agreed with Harzfeld's assessment of the coinage, as none of the issues were ever adopted.
Collectors continued to prize the stellas, and prices realized rose steadily whenever the coins appeared at auction. Writing in The Numismatist in March 1911, Edgar Adams remarked:
"No United States pattern or regular gold piece seems to have acquired anything approaching the interest and popularity of the stella, and that this popularity is not diminishing by the advance of time, is well proved by the steady increase in the premium that is paid for specimens, no matter how often they are put up for auction."
Adams' words hold true today, as public offerings realize higher and higher prices with successive appearances. Recent sales include the magnificent PR67 Cameo example offered in lot 235 of the Superior auction of May 2008, which realized $402,500.
The present coin is one of the finest surviving examples, with incredible eye appeal and unsurpassed technical quality. The design elements are richly frosted, producing a stunning black-on-gold cameo flash when the coin is tilted in the light. Razor-sharp definition is apparent in most areas, but the mysterious striations seen on all known specimens soften the detail in Liberty's hair just a touch. The vibrant mirrored surfaces glow with yellow-orange sunset colors, highlighted by shades of rose and lilac. Traditionally collected with the pattern series, the 1879 Flowing Hair stella has long been adopted by mainstream collectors, as well. The issue has been included in the Guide Book since the 1940s and is included in the 100 Greatest U.S. Coins. Census: 14 in 67 Cameo, 0 finer (12/12).

Ceramic (clear) dental braces -
A) What are ceramic braces?
Ceramic dental braces (including "clear braces") are a form of "traditional" orthodontic appliance (bonded brackets and archwire). The fundamental difference between the two is simply the type of bracket that's used. With ceramic braces, they are clear or tooth-colored, not metal. (See picture below.)
A metal archwire is still used.
It should be pointed out that with both types of appliances there's still a metal wire that runs across your teeth that's held in place with elastic ("rubber") bands. However, in the case of ceramic braces it's possible that a "frosted" (white) wire will be used instead of a silver one (so it's less obvious).
Advantages and disadvantages.
As an advantage, opting for ceramic braces tends to create a more pleasing, less conspicuous look for the patient's appliances, especially from a distance. But using this type of bracket does have some treatment and cost disadvantages. We outline them below.
A ceramic orthodontic bracket.
B) What are clear braces?
Clear braces are just another type of ceramic braces. In this case, the type of bracket that's used has a high level of translucency (it's very clear), as opposed to a more whitish, tooth-colored shade. In all other ways, these two types of appliances are the same thing.
(The term "clear braces" is sometimes used to refer to Invisalign® treatment. If you'd like information about that treatment option, start with this page.)
C) Which should you have placed, regular ceramic or clear braces?
Choosing the kind of bracket that's used for your case should simply depend on which type blends in with the color of your teeth the best. This may vary by brand, and is something that your orthodontist will need to demonstrate for you.
Basic guidelines for choosing ceramic vs. clear brackets.
In general:
- If your teeth are very light in color, more translucent (clear) brackets will usually create the best look (least obvious).
- For teeth that have a normal to dark coloration, brackets that are tooth-colored may provide the better match.
(For more information about brands of ceramic brackets and the materials they are made out of, use this link.
D) Ceramic braces vs. traditional braces. / General disadvantages.
While treatment with ceramic braces is very similar to that with conventional ones, there are some differences. And while most people probably wouldn't consider any single factor we list to be all that significant, any prospective patient should at least be aware of these issues.
a) Your treatment may take longer when ceramics are used.
The orthodontic methods used with ceramic braces are essentially the same as when metal ones are used. But by nature, ceramic brackets are more fragile and for this reason some treatment modifications may be necessary.
Bracket failure.
For example, as a way of minimizing the risk of bracket breakage, an orthodontist may use lighter forces. Doing so, however, typically means that the patient's teeth will move more slowly, thus increasing the overall treatment time needed for their case.
If a bracket does fail, it will have to be reattached or replaced. And this adds inconvenience and aggravation for all involved and slows down treatment progress. However, it can be said that with each new generation of ceramic bracket, the issue of strength has become less and less of an issue.
b) Ceramic brackets may be more irritating to soft tissues.
Ceramics typically feel rougher against soft oral tissues (lips, cheeks) than metal brackets do. And while this is something that you should gradually get used to, or at least learn to tolerate, at first you may find this sharpness quite irritating.
This ceramic bracket interferes with the patient's bite.
c) Ceramics can't always be placed on bottom teeth.
The ceramic that's used to make orthodontic brackets is harder than tooth enamel. And in the case where one touches against natural teeth, it may cause (possibly significant) wear.
For this reason, after examining their patient's bite and evaluating the way their teeth overlap when they close, an orthodontist may decide that they should not offer to place ceramic brackets on the patient's lower teeth for fear of creating a situation where excessive wear will take place.
d) Ceramics tend to cost more than metal braces.
We now discuss the issue of costs for ceramic braces on this page, as well as cost-cutting measures that are sometimes chosen.
f) Ceramic brackets tend to be larger.
Orthodontic brackets must be strong enough to withstand the forces needed to create tooth movement. And since they tend to be weaker and more brittle than their metal counterparts, they usually have a slightly larger and bulkier design.
g) Ceramics still require the use of an archwire.
As mentioned above, ceramic braces still require the use of a metal archwire (a wire that runs across the front side of your teeth). And it will be visible to others.
Frosted (white) arch wires.
As a way of minimizing its shiny appearance, your orthodontist may offer to place a "frosted" or "coated" wire.
There are, however, limitations and difficulties associated with the use of these types of products and your orthodontist may not be interested in working with them.
h) You'll still wear elastic bands.
The archwire that runs across your teeth will be bound to each bracket via the use of a "rubber" band.
You'll probably choose matching bands.
Most orthodontists will have a variety of colors to choose from when elastics are placed (or replaced). Patients with ceramic braces tend to choose tooth-colored or clear bands, so the overall appearance of their braces blends in with their teeth as much as possible.
Light-colored elastics tend to stain.
Light elastic bands (especially clear or white) often look great at first but then, due to exposure to foods and beverages, become stained and visually detracting. Pretty much any consumable that has a strong color has the potential to stain a patient's orthodontic bands. This includes: coffee, tea, cola, mustard, ketchup, curry, blueberries, and tobacco products.
There's no real solution for this problem other than to minimize your consumption of whatever foods you find tend to cause this problem. Of course, when your elastic bands are changed (usually every month or so) you'll get a fresh, clean start.
Details about clear and tooth-colored orthodontic brackets.
a) What are some of the brand names involved?
Here's a list of some of the companies that make ceramic orthodontic brackets. Next to each, we've listed the brand name of their product(s).
- ClassOne Orthodontics: Contour, Acclaim, Monarch
- GAC International: Allure, Mystique
- 3M Unitek: Clarity, Transcend
- Ormco: Inspire ICE
- Ortho-Byte: Integra
- TP Orthodontics: InVu, MXi
- Ortho Technology: Reflections, Encore!
- American Orthodontics: Virage
You may have heard of some of these brands, primarily through their advertising campaigns. But don't expect your dentist to be overly influenced by that.
They know that the look of many of these brackets are very similar. They also know, through experience and product reputation among dentists, that subtle differences do exist. And for this reason, an orthodontist may choose to use only one, or just a few, of the brands available.
b) What are ceramic and clear braces made out of?
Most ceramic orthodontic brackets are made out of either polycrystalline or monocrystalline alumina. The primary difference between these two materials is their optical clarity.
- Monocrystalline alumina brackets have a more translucent (clear) appearance. (This material is also sometimes referred to as monocrystalline sapphire.)
- Polycrystalline brackets tend to have a more whitish (tooth-colored) look.
These alumina compounds are used because they have superior physical strength and good optical and aesthetic properties. Since these ceramics are non-porous, they are also resistant to staining and absorbing odors. (Compare to plastic below.)
c) Plastic orthodontic brackets.
The first tooth-colored orthodontic brackets were made out of plastic (acrylic, polycarbonate). And related to the nature of these materials, they had a number of inherent problems.
Plastic brackets had a tendency to stain, trap odor, deform or fracture and experience bonding failure. Thanks to the introduction of modern ceramic brackets (and their superior physical characteristics), plastic brackets are no longer used.

I love both Madeleine and Adeline! How are you saying them? I say Mad-eh-len (or even almost Mad-len) and add-eh-line. I like alliteration, but I think I prefer Madeleine Amelia to Adeline Amelia. Something about Adeline Amelia just seems off to me. Still a pretty name, though. It's sad, because they're similar enough that you can't really save one for a second daughter. So I would probably go with whichever FN I liked best, which, for me, is Adeline. So if you're going off of combos, I'd say Madeleine Amelia, but if you're going by true love of the FN, I would definitely say Adeline Amelia. Both are really pretty, though!Ashley

Over the weekend, Madonna answered a BUNCH of questions from fans and onlookers in this weird Q&A session. She goes way too far into detail on odd topics and reiterates that she is very much a rebel and very much has a heart, thus explaining the title of her most recent album: Rebel Heart
It's so quiet and strange and she mentions Drake multiple times.
"Don't kiss Drake no matter how many times he begs you to"
Because this happened and she just doesn't want you to forget about it.
At least she seems to have taken out her grill for this one.
Why is Madonna everywhere all of a sudden? Including in Drake's mouth?
She surprised his Coachella set this weekend with an unwarranted smooth, leaving him seemingly appalled at the oral intrusion.

National Park Service Press Release
|For Immediate Release:

|Elizabeth Jackson, 202-437-3711
Kat Kirby, 202-208-6843
|Fort Washington Park – This week's National Park Getaway
Fort Washington, Md. – On a ridge high above the Potomac River, strategically located just 15 miles south of the Nation's capital sits the stronghold of Fort Washington. Its imposing stone face silently watches the river now, as it has for almost 200 years.
Completed in 1824, Fort Washington represented the cutting edge of American seacoast protection throughout the turmoils of Civil War. The turn of the century brought high tech steel and concrete Endicott batteries, but the advent of the aircraft finally cast the old fort into obsolescence by the 1920s. Read more

In the mid 1800s, a man dressed in a leather suit spent 30 years continually walking in a 365 mile circle through Connecticut and Westchester County, sleeping in caves along the way. Who he was and why he did it is a mystery that still fascinates people today. WSHU's Craig LeMoult reports that fascination led one man to literally follow in the footsteps of the legendary Leatherman.
The song at the end of the story was written for the documentary and performed by Jason Ajemian.

"1829 O-112. Proof-63. Mostly brilliant surfaces change to a whisper of light gold at the borders.
"The Proof surface is interrupted by a few areas of semi-frost on the obverse. The reverse is full Proof throughout, including within the shield stripes. The overall aspect is superb, and the coin stands as one of the finest Proof representatives of this date and variety. Walter Breen mentions that Beistle examined a specimen in the Col. E.H.R. Green Collection." The coin realized $16,500 in that historic sale from 20 years ago. Other PR63 examples of the 1829 that have been offered at public auction more recently have ranged in price from $16,100 to $46,750.

That's what we have to say to the arrival of the holidays.
We say it not to bemoan the rampant consumerism the season brings, though. Nor to complain about the sudden (some might say traumatic) accumulation of family members in one location, or the incredible alacrity with which money disappears from our bank accounts this time of the year. (Like sands through the hourglass, so are the dollars of our paychecks.)
We simply happen to love eating nuts. Once the weather gets nippy, we always begin storing ideas for winter feasts. This year, nuts naturally came to mind.
Maybe it's because nuts have been getting some great press lately, for the amazing amount of nutrients that they contain in their cute little packages. (According to the Yale-New Haven Nutrition Advisor, most nuts contain significant doses of the antioxidant vitamin E, protein, dietary fiber, magnesium, copper, phosphorus, potassium, selenium and folate.)
They're relatively high in calories, it's true. The nuts Americans consume most _ peanuts (technically a legume, but nutty enough for our purposes), walnuts, almonds, cashews, pistachios_hover between 550 and 660 calories per 3.5 ounces, and about 80 percent of those calories come from fat. But it's healthful fat that may help prevent heart disease and lower blood pressure.
Yes, the more we know about nuts, the more enamored of them we become. So we have to wonder: Where have the nutty holiday traditions gone? And by that we do not mean the escapades of your mild-mannered uncle, the one who removes his clothing after a couple of eggnogs. We mean, quite literally, chestnuts roasting on an open fire. But we'd settle for the hand-carved wooden bowl that once appeared in every home as part of the holiday tradition. The last time we saw a nutcracker in December, it was onstage, wearing a giant leotard, dancing along to Tchaikovsky.
So we're starting a modern tradition: nuts to the holidays. And to get things off to a rollicking start, this year we'll have a holiday dinner with nuts in as many dishes as possible. Is that too nutty?
Know your nuts
Almonds: All of the U.S. commercial almond crop is grown in California, and it supplies almost 80 percent of the world market. Long recognized for its delicate flavor, pleasant texture and healthfulness (one ounce has almost 35 percent of the daily value for vitamin E), the almond (which is actually a fruit related to the plum), was known as a commodity on the Silk Road, according to the Almond Board; the trees were brought to California in the 1700s by Franciscan padres, who planted the trees at missions along the coastline's El Camino Real.
Cashew: There's a reason you've probably never seen a cashew still in its shell. Cashews, native to Brazil, grow opposite the stem end of the cashew apple, which is a "false fruit"; actual fruit is what we know as the nut. Even more vexing, the "apple" rots quickly once it falls to the ground, still attached to the "nut," which is in turn surrounded by a caustic substance similar to poison ivy, which is so strong it is sometimes used to burn off warts, according to The Oxford Companion to Food. But the nuts are so delicious!
Hazelnuts: Aka filberts and cobnuts, hazelnuts have grown wild since the days of primitive man and been cultivated since classical times in many parts of the world. It is the most distinctly flavored nut _ "so individual that it cannot be described by reference to another," according to the writer Waverley Root, who then goes a little daffy comparing their flavor to other foods ("the elusive aroma of some mushrooms"). In addition, according to the International Dried Fruit and Nut Foundation, the hazelnut is "present in the Greek-Roman Mythology and in the Bible, always mentioned for its extraordinary nutritional and healing values, even as a tool for finding buried treasures and subterranean streams of water."
Peanut: Not a nut, strictly speaking, but a legume, peanuts have the most inspiring story in American history, thanks to the former slave and agricultural visionary George Washington Carver. In the early 1900s, he discovered more than 300 uses for what had previously been considered livestock feed. Two peanut farmers have been elected president: Thomas Jefferson and Jimmy Carter.
Pecan: Georgia is the country's largest producer of pecans. They are the only tree nut native to America, and Thomas Jefferson was nuts for them, planting hundreds of trees (which are known to live hundreds, even thousands, of years); he probably never would have guessed that someday pecans would be "the first fresh food consumed on space flights by American astronauts. Apollo 13 (1970) and Apollo 14 (1971) crew members enjoyed fresh, raw pecan kernels from vacuum-packed plastic packages," according to the Texas Pecan Board.
Pistachio: The seed of the Persian Pistacia vera tree, the pistachio is native to Asia Minor and has been cultivated for more than 3,000 years. It was not until they were imported to the United States, however, that someone got the hot idea of dying "the smiling nut" (as they are known in Turkey) bright red. According to John Mariani's "Dictionary of Food and Drink," that tradition is said to have started at the hands of a Brooklyn street vender named Zaloom, who wanted to make his pale brown nuts stand out.
Walnut: The provenance of the walnut is largely unknown _ some say it's from what was known as Persia, and the California walnut is actually a Persian walnut. But according to the California Walnut Board, walnuts are the oldest tree food known to man, dating back to the year 7000 B.C. They're most famous for packing the most alpha-linolenic acid (ALA), an essential omega-3 fatty acid, than any other nut in the nutbowl and they protect your heart, so who cares about where they're from? Fun fact: Walnuts are not picked; they are removed from trees by a mechanical shaker.
By the numbers:
6: Number of pounds of peanuts and peanut butter the average American eats each year, according to the National Peanut Board.
810: The number of peanuts it takes to make an 18-ounce jar of peanut butter, according to the Alabama Peanut Producers Association.
Christmas in a nutshell
A festive menu celebrates the rich, delicious flavors of nuts

I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THAT YOU TAKE THE LIGHT RAIL TRANSIT SO YOU CAN SEE MOST OF THE NEIGHBORHOODS IN SEATTLE! (I take the train to go to work and then take the bus. It is cheap and very convenient!)
LINK LIGHT RAIL- SOUND TRANSIT- After grabbing your bags at baggage claim, head for the fourth floor of the airport parking garage, where signs direct out to a walkway that leads to the Link Light Train station.

The stops include the International District, Pioneer Square, University Street, and Westlake Center.

Time flies. PJ
Thank to Jo, Glenn and Grace for organizing a great meet
Hi thanks for your invite. Unfortunately I won't able to make it Seattle this summer. I wish, however, the meet goes well! All the best, Dawn:D PS Glad you like the cards:D
Thanks for enjoying my writing. I LOVE Seattle and not only would love to attend the meeting but live there, as well! Unfortunately, I cannot make it but I'm sure it will be a great gathering of VTers. Enjoy.
Jo, I wish you fun and succes with the meeting. I limit myself to the Antwerp meeting, where we come together again after 10 years! Greetings to all. PJ
Thanks for your invite but I won't be able to attend.
I will not be attending the Seattle meeting, change of plans, my VT-friend bailed out on me...
Thanks for your message, but I'm afraid I won't be able to make it to the Seattle meeting. Instead (closer to home for me) I will be going to the VT meetings in Antwerp, Belgium, on August 17-19.
Well, it's 4 months away now and have contacted the VTers who have signed up for the meet. If you plan to go, please sign up for the event so we can get a better idea how many plan to attend. Thanks!
For the dinner will we need to bring cash to pay for it or can we use cc's? I will be on the bike and do not wish to carry any cash I don't have to take.
