Read Poems by
Denis Bruce
Trees still denuded but burgeoning with buds
Will soon be bedecked in the brightest of duds.
Small birds renew flitting amid bursts of bright song
While crocus heads from the soil shyly push up along.
Freshness and newness is what they declare
When brightness and music do fill the air
Hope and joy in simplicity blend
With which no other season can ever contend.
Summer's profusion ,autumn's decay,
Winter bleak, brightened but by Christmas Day
Yet spring with its simple and artless style
Young and old alike doth beguile.
Vivaldi's Four Seasons, a work of great art,
Depicts the cycle with humour and heart
But the princess of seasons stands merrily played
To leave the rest in its shy little shade.

Best Rams Player St. Louis 2006 - Steven Jackson
Readers' Choice: Torry Holt
After the team's miserable showing last year, incoming Rams coach Scott Linehan pretty much gets a free pass for '06-'07. But if fans aren't expecting a first-year miracle out of the new head coach, they are looking for tailback Steven Jackson to stand and deliver in his third pro season. Jackson's a big man, and the Rams' 2004 first-round pick out of Oregon State matched that late last year with a big mouth, complaining that outgoing head coach Mike Martz's game plan had given him short shrift. The six-foot-two, 231-pound Jackson finished the season with 1,046 yards rushing on 254 carries, for an average of 4.1 yards per; he carried the ball twenty times or more in only three games. This year, with Linehan's love of the running game and Marshall Faulk's absence from the picture probably for good Jackson is projected to get plenty more touches. If the top running back from the draft class of '04 can live up to his promise, the Rams' 2006-'07 record may well reflect the upgrade. We're betting that he can, and that it will.

First Baptist Church in Murrells Inlet is one of many churches in the South Strand working to pack gift boxes for needy children overseas for Operation Christmas Child.
Chris Spires, pastor of the church said it is a great program.
It takes a very physical gift around the world and allows people to share the story of Christ, Spires said.
It is a unique way to do ministry and it gives people a very tangible way to be part of something globally, taking the gospel to the ends of the earth.
His church is one of the drop-off locations for boxes filled with toys, clothing accessories, hygiene items, first aid items, school supplies, snacks and more.
They will be delivered in November to poor children in third world countries as part of an international Christian mission through Samaritans Purse.
In addition to delivering the gifts, missionaries offer the children and their families a 12-week program including Bible studies in their native language.
Then the children are given the opportunity to accept Jesus as their lord.
The goal for the entire Operation Christmas Child mission is 10 million boxes and everyone is welcome to participate.
Wil Bradham, director of missions for the Southeast Baptist Association, has been involved with Operation Christmas Child for eight years. His first experience with the mission was in Romania when he saw the shoe boxes being delivered to the children while serving as a missionary there.
The children were elated, Bradham stated.
I dont think any of them had received something like that before.
After that experience, he decided to get involved with Operation Christmas Child.
It is not just a shoebox gift, it is an opportunity to share the Gospel with the children and to give them the greatest gift, the gift of Christ, Bradham said, adding that he would love to go and distribute the boxes and take part in the mission.
Diane Hutto, coordinator of the Coastal South Carolina Area for Operation Christmas Child, had the opportunity to participate in the distributing of boxes in the Philippines in May 2014.
It was an incredible week of working alongside our Filipino brothers and sisters in Christ to deliver shoe box gifts, Hutto stated.
Our team participated in five distributions, handing out shoe box gifts to around 700 children. As expected, we were met with smiles, squeals, laughter and hugs!
I experienced every emotion imaginable during this trip, but more importantly, I experienced the presence and the power of God. A total of 7,000 shoe boxes were distributed during the week by our teams.
First Baptist Church of Georgetown will host a Coastal South Carolina team countdown celebration in the churchs gymnasium from 2 to 4 p.m. on Sept. 27.
Rogers said they will provide information about preparing shoe boxes and there will be childrens activities.
National collection week will be from Nov. 17 to 24.
To find out how to participate locally, call First Baptist Church in Murrells Inlet at 843-947-0847.

About Me Conservative, Stylish
This jacket is great for church. I bought the matching pants to complete the suit. It's beautiful. BUT, it is a very dark navy, it almost looks black.
Very unhappy Jacket + Pants don't match

the jacket was charcoal the pants were grey they both were herringbone. but they do NOT make a suit anymore than a black jacket and tan pants make a suit.

A huge disappointment
By K
from Los Angeles, CA
I was excited to find good looking suit separates, since my husband usually needs extensive tailoring when he buys a suit.I saved up to purchase the jacket and matching pants for an anniversary gift.When it arrived I was disappointed by the poor quality of the fabric and the sloppy construction. He tried it on anyways to see if we might be able to exchange it in case he found something suitableThe fit was laughable and nowhere near the sizing chart, I immediately returned the pieces for a refund and will not be purchasing again

Cyrille Diabate to retire following UFC Fight Night 37 bout with Latifi
After more than 20 years in combat sports, Cyrille Diabate believes its time to call it quits.
The 40-year-old fighter, from France, on Thursday told MMAjunkie that his fight against Ilir Latifi at Saturdays UFC Fight Night 37 event in London will be his last.
Diabate (19-9-1 MMA, 4-3 UFC) and Ilir Latifi (7-3 MMA, 0-1 UFC) close out the preliminary card of the show, which takes place at O2 Arena in London and streams on UFC Fight Pass.
Diabates retirement announcement is far from typical. Sure, at 40, perhaps the thought of him retiring from fighting shouldnt come as much surprise. But The Snake, one of the sports elite kickboxing and muay Thai practitioners, said he nearly just threw in the hat a year ago only to work his way back for one more fight.
At UFC on FUEL TV 7 in February 2013, also in London, Diabate suffered a brutal calf tear and the fight was stopped after the first round against Jimi Manuwa, who coincidentally headlines the card on Saturday. Diabate said it was the most painful fighting experience hes ever had, and the resulting rehab had him shelved from true fight training for eight months.
At one point, just after the fight, I called it quits in my mind, Diabate told MMAjunkie. I gave up. Ive been doing this 20-plus years, and its just frustrating to go through a camp of two and a half months, three months, and then to fight like that with that injury. Plus, the pain was just unbearable.

Concord, N.C. (January 17, 2008) – It took only 104 starts and three years for Columbia, Missouri-native Carl Edwards to claim his first NASCAR championship. In 35 starts, Edwards racked up four wins, 15 top-five and 21 top-10 finishes in 2007, ultimately claiming the grand prize of Busch Series Champion. It was a life-long dream for the 27-year old who looks to repeat in 2008.
As Edwards returns to Daytona for Nationwide Series testing this week, a unique opportunity still exists. The opportunity to be a part of Edwards winning team as the primary sponsor of the No. 60 Ford Fusion for several of 35 races in 2008. With current and long-time sponsor partners Scotts Miracle-Gro and World Financial Group (WFG), the opportunity exists for another company to align with a driver who is arguably the driver to beat in 2008.
"Winning my first NASCAR Championship made 2007 just an unbelievable year," said Edwards. "The series is also taking a giant step with its transition to the Nationwide Series after 26 years with sponsorship from Anheuser-Busch. I like the idea that I will be the last Busch Series Champion and my new personal goal is to be the first Nationwide Series Champion. This will be a very exciting year for the No. 60 team and our sponsor partners. We are going for it all."
Edwards didn't just shine in 2007; he has three full seasons of Nationwide experience behind him, three years that have seen him as a championship contender through and through. Edwards has been running at the end of 97 of 104 (93%) Nationwide Series races over the last three years. He has accrued 13 wins (12.5%), 45 top-five (42%) and 67 top-10 (64%) finishes in addition to claiming seven pole awards. If those stats aren't enough to convince someone that Edwards is a force to be reckoned with, over the last three years he has an average starting position of 10.9 and an average finishing position of 11.8 while leading a total of 1,957 laps. These numbers, with the support of Ford Motor Company and Roush Fenway Racing's resources, will continue to grow in 2008 and the years to come.
For information on how to sponsor Carl Edwards and the No. 60 team, please contact Robin Johnson at 704.720.4645.

Throat (Swab and Washing) Culture- Procedure, Interpretation and Clinical Implications
- Throat cultures are important for diagnosis of the following conditions:
- Streptococcal sore throat
- Diphtheriae obtain both throat and nasopharyngeal cultures
- Thrush (candidal infection)
- Viral infection
- Tonsillar infection
- Gonococcal pharyngitis
- Bordetella pertussis
- Throat cultures can establish the focus of infection in:
- Scarlet fever
- Rheumatic fever
- Acute hemorrhagic glomerulonephritis
Throat cultures can be used to detect the carrier state of persons harboring such organisms as:
- β-Hemolytic streptococcus
- Neisseria meningitidis
- Corynebacterium diphtheriae
- S. aureus
- Gram Negative Bacilli
- Yeast Cells
Normal Result
Negative: Normal oral flora
Clinical Implications
Positive findings are associated with infection in the presence of:
- Group A hemolytic streptococci
- N. gonorrhoeae
- C. diphtheriae
- B. pertussis
- Adenovirus and herpesvirus
- Mycoplasma and Chlamydia
Throat Swab Culture Procedure
- For adult patients:
- Place the patient's mouth in good visual light.
- Use a sterile throat culture kit with a polyester-tipped applicator or swab and a sterile container or tube of culture medium.
- Tilt head back. Depress the patient's tongue with a tongue blade and visualize the throat as well as possible. Rotate the swab firmly and gently over the back of the throat, around both tonsils or fossae, and on areas of inflammation, exudation, or ulceration.
- Avoid touching the tongue or lips with the swab.
- Because most patients gag or cough, the collector should wear a facemask for protection.
- Place the swab into the designated receptacle so that it comes in contact with the culture medium. Immediately send the specimen to the laboratory.
- Refrigerate the throat culture if examination is delayed.
- For pediatric patients:
- Seat the patient in the adult's lap.
- Have the adult encircle the child's arms and chest to prevent the child from moving.
- Place one hand on the child's forehead to stabilize the head and to prevent movement.
- Proceed with the technique used for collection of the throat and nose culture as described for adults.
- For throat washings:
- Have the patient gargle with 5 to 10 mL of sterile saline solution and then expectorate it into a sterile cup.
- Remember that this method provides more specimen than a throat swab and is more definitive for viral isolation.

Grilled Chicken and Roasted Red Pepper Panini
I love all varieties of panini.
I whipped this one up yesterday. It's nice and basic, and can be adapted by using storebough/rotisserie chicken if you'd like to omit the marinating/grilling process, and adding things like artichoke hearts and olives if you want the thing more loaded.
To me, panini are like pizza or quesadillas: the combinations and permutations are endless.
And delicious.
We're going to begin by making a concoction. Grab some jarred sundried tomatoes.
Throw them into a food processor or blender.
Add a little olive oil, a little lemon juice…
Next, grab some prepared pesto. Either the tub in the refrigerated section, the jar…or you could make your own if you're one of the eight humans on earth who can find fresh basil right now.
Where has all the basil gone? Long time passing…
Add a good amount of pesto to the mix…
Then pulse up the mixture until it's all combined.
Next, throw half of the mixture into a ziploc bag with two chicken breasts.
Seal the bag, smush it around, then refrigerate it for several hours or overnight so the chicken becomes lovely and flavorful and happy and emotionally fulfilled.
We all want that for our chicken breasts, don't we?
After you stick the chicken in the fridge to marinate, throw a little mayonnaise into a small bowl.
Add two or three tablespoons of the sundried tomato concoction…
Then stir it around to combine. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate it until we make the panini. This'll be the panini spread. Amen.
Next, we're going to roast a couple of red bell peppers. (Note: if you can find the roasted red peppers in jars, feel free to use them!) If you have a gas burner, turn it on medium-high and set the pepper right over the flame.
Use tongs to move it around as it blackens. Basically, you want to char the heck out of the whole thing; try to make most of the red disappear! This should take about four to five minutes.
The very second the pepper is blackened, throw it into a large ziploc bag and seal it while you do the second pepper. Then throw the second pepper in, too. Let the peppers sit in the sealed ziplocs for at least twenty minutes; they'll steam in there, which will cause the blackened skin to slip off more easily.
When they're ready, use your fingers to pull off the skin. You can rinse them under cool water while you do this, but sometimes I think that rinses away some of the nice black flavor. So if you can, just wipe off the majority of the skin with a paper towel, leaving a few black bits for flavor.
I'm weird.
(Oh, and by the way: if you do not have a gas burner, you can char the peppers directly under the broiler in the oven. Just set them on a cookie sheet on the highest rack and turn them with tongs as they blacken. I use this method a lot! Just depends on my hormone level.)
(And if you love, love, love the flavor of roasted red peppers, try this pasta. You'll swoon.)
After they're peeled, lop off the tops of the peppers, then pull out/scrape out the innards. And this is what you're left with. You can do this ahead of time, then refrigerate them till you need them, or you can do them right before you make the panini.
When you're ready to make the panini, heat up the panini maker. Pull the chicken out of the fridge. Whack it a few times with a mallet or iron skillet, just to flatten them to uniform size. No need to make them paper thin; just even them out.
Grill them (or saute them in a heavy skillet) over medium heat…
Next, cut the roasted red peppers into slices.
Grab some good, hearty sandwich bread (this is the wheat berry stuff) and spread rather generously with the spread we make earlier.
Arrange slices of chicken on top…
Followed by roasted red pepper strips.
And finally, two slices of provolone cheese.
An panini without the cheese is like a kiss without a squeeze.
Next, spread a second slice of bread with more of the yummy spread. And that's not my hand. An alien dropped by to appropriate my brain matter and I asked him to hold this piece of bread first.
I'm sure glad I don't have hands like that!
Place that slice of bread face down…
Then spread both sides with softened butter.
Then close the lid and let it do its dirty work.
Note: If you do not have a panini grill, you can certainly still make panini. Just grill the sandwich in a skillet (an iron skillet if you have one) and set a second (heavy) skillet on top of it, pressing to flatten slightly. You'll need to turn the sandwich halfway through to cook both sides.
Here 'tis! Got a little brown, but I am not afraid.
Yummy. How good does this look?
Serve it with chips if you'd like, or just grapes if you're trying to make wiser choices about what you put in your mouth in anticipation of warmer weather, which does not permit you to cover up jiggle with large, oversized black turtlenecks.
Sorry to bring my own issues into this.
Enjoy this, guys.
Vive panini!

- Easy
- Servings:
- 4
- 2 whole Boneless, Skinless Chicken Breasts
- 8 whole Sun-dried Tomatoes, Packed In Oil
- 3 Tablespoons Prepared Basil Pesto
- 1 Tablespoon Extra Virgin Olive Oil
- 1 Tablespoon Lemon Juice
- 1/2 teaspoon Kosher Salt
- Freshly Ground Black Pepper
- 1/4 cup Mayonnaise
- 2 whole Red Bell Peppers
- 8 whole Slices Provolone Or Mozzarella Cheese
- 8 slices Good Whole Grain Sandwich Bread
- 4 Tablespoons Butter, Softened
Preparation Instructions
Slightly flatten chicken with a mallet (just until uniform thickness.)
In a blender or food processor, puree sundried tomatoes, pesto, olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Add half the mixture to a ziploc bag with the chicken breasts. Smush around to coat the chicken, then refrigerate for several hours or overnight.
After marinating, heat heavy skillet or grill to medium. Grill or cook chicken until done. Slice chicken into strips.
In a small bowl, combine mayonnaise and 3 tablespoons of the sundried tomato mixture. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until needed.
If you have a gas cooktop, blacken red peppers directly over the flame. (If you do not have a gas cooktop, blacken them directly under the oven broiler.) Completely blacken/char on all sides, then immediately seal in a ziploc bag. Allow peppers to sit, sealed, in the bag for at least 20 minutes. When cool enough to handle, remove from bag and use fingers to slip off the blackened skin. (Don't be afraid to leave some black bits!) Lop off the top, cut in half, then seed and slice into strips. Set aside.
To make the panini, spread generous amounts of the sundried tomato/pesto spread on one side of all the pieces of bread. On four of the pieces, arrange 1/4 of the chicken slices, 1/4 of the pepper slices, and two pieces of provolone. To with the other four pieces of bread with the spread face down. Butter both sides of sandwich, then grill in panini maker or on a skillet over medium-low heat. (If you use a skillet, set a heavy pan or skillet on top of the sandwich as each side browns.)
Slice sandwiches in half and serve immediately with cold grapes. Delish!

Ok, these photos (I know they are only of food) ARE GORGEOUS!! These should be framed in a sandwich shop!
Yes, pannini's have endless permutations. I've been using a meal planning website for the past 6-ish months and they have a portobello mushroom and basil panini. Excellent. I like things that are nice and crispy!
JulieJ On Monday, March 21 at 8:13 pm
The panini possibilities are truly endless!! I love a good panini, and Ree, yours looks divine. Thanks for sharing!
Sally O'Malley, that portobello and basil panini sounds awesome…I may have to whip one of those up soon!

AmyH On Monday, March 21 at 8:05 am
A George Foreman grill also works nicely, in place of a panini grill.
Lu On Monday, March 21 at 9:41 am
Or a cast iron skillet with another one on top!
Lizee On Monday, March 21 at 12:31 pm
It sure does!
Amy On Monday, March 21 at 8:07 am
Ooh, my mouth is watering! Yum. Can't run a sandwich grill on the boat though, the battery bank doesn;t have the power. Sad times.

Amy On Monday, March 21 at 8:08 am
Just re-read – I have a skillet I can use on the gas! Yay!
Deb Jenkins On Monday, March 21 at 8:09 am
Oh this looks so good! I may have to whip out my panini grill today!
My Modern Country On Monday, March 21 at 8:09 am
Ha! I am the turtleneck queen, and have been hiding in them all winter.
Back to your recipe-this looks like one my whole crew would enjoy!
Ena On Monday, March 21 at 8:12 am
ohhh i'd kill for one right now! and i'll shamelessly admit that it is 11:40pm. nomnomnom
Erin A On Monday, March 21 at 8:14 am
Now Ree this looks delicious!
If I didn't have left over "Lasagna Bowls" from my post today, I'd whip up some of these!
Calamity Kate On Monday, March 21 at 8:14 am
P-dub! Katie has fresh basil. And lots of it too. You could scoot on out to OR. and we could spend the afternoon making pesto and panini! Besides its an alien free zone. Win-win.
Karissa On Wednesday, May 11 at 8:25 am
Ha Kate… love it.
Travis Cotton On Monday, March 21 at 8:18 am
I should invest in a panini press because that does look yummy!
Christine S On Monday, March 21 at 8:19 am
Need fresh basil in the middle of winter?? You need to get an Aerogarden. I got one from my mother-in-law about 5 years ago and I love it! I am about to plant some peppers in it. Check it out! You could probably use it a lot on the ranch.
Jodie (allgoodinmommyhood.com) On Monday, March 21 at 8:21 am
LOVE paninis! Tomato and mozzarella is my favorite – but this looks delish as well!
sherri lynn On Monday, March 21 at 8:30 am
oh this looks so good! i need a panini maker!
KandiLand On Monday, March 21 at 8:31 am
Oh my, that looks so good! I must confess I've never had a panini but I think I need to try it!
Sidenote: I made the Bowtie Lasagna you featured from Tasty Kitchen last night and my family LOVED it. Even my picky, picky 6 year old who doesn't like anything! I love your recipes…keep them coming!
Jocelyn in oc On Monday, March 21 at 8:36 am
Can someone suggest what type of bread to use? I know Ree says good wheat sandwich bread, but we used sheepherder's bread and it seemed too flimsy and absorbed too much oil and didn't crust as nicely as I wanted.
Marsha On Monday, March 21 at 9:20 am
Jocelyn, you could probably use any dense chewy type bread like a good Italian loaf (like you would use for crunchy garlic bread) or an artisanal bread.
Bronwyn On Tuesday, March 22 at 7:09 pm
What you should use is panini. They are "little breads", a sort of small flat Italian bread roll.
Ames On Monday, March 21 at 8:37 am
I love Paninis. We haven't made them in a long time. Maybe for supper tonight!~Ames
The Café Sucré Farine On Monday, March 21 at 8:37 am
I love paninis, especially when I haven't thought too much about what's for dinner! These sound amazing, can't wait to try. I love the combination of all the fun flavors!
carmen On Monday, March 21 at 8:40 am
"An panini without the cheese is like a kiss withouth a squeeze." I love it! And the sandwich looks really yummy!
Seanna Lea On Monday, March 21 at 8:41 am
I don't have a panini grill (and I don't eat chicken), but I am still pretty sure I can make this all vegetarian-ified for dinner later this week! It looks super tasty.
Louise E. On Monday, March 21 at 8:45 am
That looks really good. I don't have a panini grill, but I think I could find something that would work. By the way, I really enjoy your recipes. The ones I have tried always get rave reviews.
Hannah F. On Monday, March 21 at 8:47 am
Yes please. *drool*
DessertForTwo On Monday, March 21 at 8:49 am
There's been a little disease outbreak affecting the basil lately. It's hard when diseases hit small crops because there's not a lot of ag research being done on them to create ways to prevent the pest/disease. If a flea looks at a corn plant, millions of dollars are spent on making sure the flea doesn't hurt the corn, but if an small outbreak destroys fresh herb crops? Nah, it'll work itself out. Kinda sad. Did ya want an ag lesson today?
This sandwich looks delicious! Perfect since I live so far from Panera!
Wendy C On Tuesday, March 22 at 7:54 am
Thanks for the explanation. I just looked for basil yesterday and there is absolutely nothing.
Ella @ The Single Girl's Kitchen On Monday, March 21 at 8:50 am
you had me at sundried tomatoes. just last night i was looking for some sort of chicken dish i could make for today. you must have read my mind!
Kirsten is Comfortably Domestic On Monday, March 21 at 8:52 am
Boy–that looks fabulous! I love panini for all the versatility of the ingredients that can be used. Pretty much anything tastes good grilled between two slices of really good bread!
Katarina On Monday, March 21 at 8:54 am
Looks really delicious!
Magsie On Monday, March 21 at 8:55 am
Thanks for the Monday morning laughs! I've always wanted emotional fulfilled chickens, and now I know how to achieve it.
Heather @ Heather's Dish On Monday, March 21 at 9:00 am
Let's be honest, you had me at 'grilled'…it's coming on spring and summer and anything grilled catches my eye!
Aleen On Monday, March 21 at 9:00 am
This looks fantastic! I think I'll be making this tonight! Thanks Ree =)
Molly On Monday, March 21 at 9:01 am
You've reminded me of my much-neglected panini pan that I think is hidden under the microwave cart. Can't wait to go home and dust it off for this tasty-looking sammich.
Amanda On Monday, March 21 at 9:06 am
Yum! That looks delicious!!
zoom On Monday, March 21 at 9:11 am
I never thought I would want a panini press… more than a new car, or jewelry or new counter tops. But I do. Man. I really do.
Gina On Monday, March 21 at 9:12 am
I am going to the corner cafe and ordering this for lunch! Granted, it won't have the marinade on the chicken, but they do have a nice sundried tomato mayonnaise that I'm going to indulge in with it, so it will almost be the same!
Nana On Monday, March 21 at 9:15 am
This sounds right up our alley, and why I splurged on a Breville grill/pannini device. Thanks, can't wait to try it!
Stacey On Monday, March 21 at 9:20 am
My husband makes pesto every fall (from our garden's basil), then he puts it in plastic ice cube trays. When it's frozen, he pops out each cube, puts them in a big plastic bag and puts the whole thing in the freezer. We have pesto all winter (and longer)! Just don't add the cheese before you freeze the pesto. By the way — that sandwich looks faboo!
Teri On Monday, March 21 at 9:20 am
I've never roasted a pepper and am fascinated to learn I can do it on my stovetop. My 13 yr old daughter has gone vegetarian so we have been searching for new things for her to try. I think we could do this without the chicken.
Sid On Monday, March 21 at 9:31 am
Love roasted peppers, and the recipe, definitely one I'm going to try. But I do my panini's on my George Forman grill, works great.
BTW, do an extra roasted pepper, throw it in a dish with some EVOO and balsamic vinegar, let sit in the fridge overnight,(if you can wait that long), and eat. Soooo goood.
Debbie (Poetesswug) On Monday, March 21 at 9:31 am
Boy! Wish I had 'Taste-O-Puter'!!! LOL
Marsha On Monday, March 21 at 9:31 am
"Where have all the flowers gone?" Oh, that song takes me back to my childhood when the Kingston Trio & the Brothers Four were popular with my older sisters.
That panini looks fabulous! I can almost smell it cooking. I froze some leftover homemade pesto from the last of my autumn basil. Hope it's okay! I'll have to give this a try.
Alex On Monday, March 21 at 9:42 am
Looks YUMMY. Just had to share a pregnancy indulgence I had yesterday…Manchengo and Gouda grilled cheese on Sourdough. And I butter the outisde, um, and the inside of the bread. Can you say gluttenous? This looks like a much figure-friendlier option.
Faith On Monday, March 21 at 9:43 am
Yum, yum, yum! I love paninis, and will definitely try this one, it looks perfect. And I'm with Sid, George Foreman grill works great for paninis, you don't need another appliance to get that great stripey grilled look and taste. Try it!
Martha On Monday, March 21 at 9:45 am
Mmmm, yum! I love panini and this one looks so tasty! Thanks for sharing!
Nikita On Monday, March 21 at 9:45 am
I am drooling Ree! Looks delicious!
Renee.S On Monday, March 21 at 9:50 am
Oh. My. Gosh. I love a good panini almost as much as life itself. Oh man oh man. Excuse me while a grab a towel to wipe the drool off my keyboard.
Lori W. On Monday, March 21 at 10:03 am
I've heard that saying before but as an English colloquialism promoting their cheese.
"An apple pie without Wendslydale cheese is like a hug without the squeeze!"
Have you ever had cheese on an apple pie?! Or crumbly Wendslydale?! It's perfection.
Marisa @ Loser for Life On Monday, March 21 at 10:06 am
I did a roasted pepper tutorial today, too! I made mine on the grill because I tend to not only blacken the peppers, but also smoke up my house! I need a "how to use the stove properly" lesson! LOL!
Love the panini!!
Susan in the Boonies On Monday, March 21 at 10:08 am
Mmmmm….the sundried tomatoes…the pesto…magnifico!!!
Susan M. On Monday, March 21 at 10:14 am
For those who want to eliminate the butter or just do not have any one hand, but still want to make a panini with a crispy, crunchy bread, just spread low-fat mayonnaise on the bread.
lauren in arkansas On Monday, March 21 at 10:15 am
This looks delicious! But, I've never figured out why these sandwiches are called "panini". Growing up in an Italian household, "panini" meant "little bread". It doesn't look little to me, just really good.
Nezzy (Cow Patty Surprise) On Monday, March 21 at 10:22 am
Well ain't that about as pretty as sweet butter (yep, I know your weakness girl) on a tall stack of flap~jacks on Sunday mornin'!!! This Ozark Farm Chick loves each and every dang item in your beautiful recipe but have never thrown caution to the wind and put 'em all together!!! Woohooo!!!! I'm gonna smell up the Ponderosa real good tonight! :o)
Ya'll have a beautifully bless day straight from the sunny hills and hollers of the Ozark Mountains!!! :o)
Merrissa On Monday, March 21 at 10:23 am
You might not be crazy, PW. I remember a friend of mine who makes his living as a chef told me that washing roasted peppers under water CAN decrease flavor, and takes away some of the spiciness if you're roasting hot peppers.
La On Monday, March 21 at 10:26 am
Can I have a bite? This looks amazing.
Mary (What's Cookin' with Mary) On Monday, March 21 at 10:28 am
YUM. The marinade sounds so delish! Could def eat that chicken on its own. …love it PW!
Mary On Monday, March 21 at 10:29 am
Another option for roasting peppers: use a toaster oven. Cut the peppers in half and place them on a foil-lined pan and 'toast' them two or three times until they're blackened or well-blistered, then place them in the zip-top bag or plastic storage container to steam.
I have my toast setting about half-way between light and dark, and three or four toast cycles is usually all it takes for my toaster oven to nicely 'roast' a pepper.
(FYI, I often see jars of roasted red peppers, and sometimes jars of roasted yellow peppers, at Dollar Tree … I've never bought them, so can't vouch for their flavor or quality).
notyet100 On Monday, March 21 at 10:34 am
the way u write,it always make me hungry,..;-)
Natalie On Monday, March 21 at 10:35 am
It looks good but also like it might be more worthwhile to order in a restaurant. 24+ hrs before I can eat my delicious sandwich? Thats too much waiting for lunch for me.
erin o. On Monday, March 21 at 10:36 am
Oh how I love a good panini! Bless you!
mulberrytreehouse On Monday, March 21 at 10:39 am
YUM! I absolutely am going to make this… very soon. Roasting our own red peppers over the gas burner? Awesome!
Jen @ keepitsimplefoods On Monday, March 21 at 10:41 am
This looks terrific! I am a panini fiend these days! Thanks for sharing such an easy, delicious recipe!
Julie @ Willow Bird Baking On Monday, March 21 at 10:41 am
This makes me want to clean off my panini press
Diana K. On Monday, March 21 at 10:53 am
That looks delicious! And that sundried tomato pesto sounds good enough to toss with some pasta. Yummmm!
Melissa Lewis - Midwest Magnolia On Monday, March 21 at 11:00 am
Ugh, I don't know if I have every really craved a sandwich before! But this looks so yummy! I have to have one now.
laura @ alittlebarefoot On Monday, March 21 at 11:02 am
sounds like a good way to start the week!
Peggy On Monday, March 21 at 11:05 am
I'm longing for fresh basil too. Can't wait to plant the garden! This panini looks sooo good; thanks for sharing as always.
Have you tried freezing homemade pesto? I make a huge batch in late summer & freeze it in those really small canning jars. Happiness in winter! And fun to share with friends…
Jan On Monday, March 21 at 11:06 am
OMGosh!! When I worked at the hospital we had a chef working there who made these and they were fabulous! Nothing like the hospital food the poor patients had to endure! LOL!! Can't wait to make these! Thanks!
Millymum1 On Monday, March 21 at 11:09 am
believe me or not…I have never tried paninies))
Sues On Monday, March 21 at 11:16 am
This is my idea of the perfect sandwich! I LOVE pesto and especially on a panini. Beautiful
Brandy On Monday, March 21 at 11:32 am
I use my George Foreman to make paninis! It works perfectly.
Meagan On Monday, March 21 at 11:43 am
Yum-yum! Love the shot of the butter bubbling as the sammie cooks. Going to have to make these this week.
Jean F On Monday, March 21 at 11:45 am
Drool… I love sun dried tomatoes. In fact I was noshing on a piece of sun dried tomato and spinach pizza when I read this…. pair it with chicken and make it a hot sammie? Just dreamy!
jenn On Monday, March 21 at 11:48 am
Yummm, panini is a whole food group of its own.
Sara On Monday, March 21 at 11:48 am
I love your humor. Every time I read your post I smile. Thanks for brightening my day!
Jen On Monday, March 21 at 11:49 am
I made this for lunch and it was AMAZING!!! I didn't have pesto so I skipped it, and I used chicken lunchmeat because I had it… so fantastic, I can't even imagine what it would be like if I had the pesto and marinated chicken! The two cast iron pans worked so well for this too, I just heated them both up. Thanks for this one!
Marie M.C. On Monday, March 21 at 11:56 am
Oh, Ree. You've hit it out of the ballpark. Again. FYI: I use the method you suggest for those of us without a real deal Panini Press. I use a large cast iron pan, put in the sandwich, place a small sheet of aluminum foil on top, then a smaller cast iron pan on top. Works perfectly. I have to try the sun dried tomato/pesto mix. Has my mouth watering.
wenders On Monday, March 21 at 11:57 am
I love paninis! I love hot sandwiches! I had a similar one recently, bought it at a coffee shop. But, didn't love it, you know why? Too little of everything, the chicken, red peppers and bread. They skimped. So sad. I proclaimed that day that I shall now make my own paninis! And look who just posted a recipe! Thank you!
Elizabeth Parsons On Monday, March 21 at 12:00 pm
Hello Ree,
In my attempt to learn how to bake, I have been trying different recipes for pie crusts. Today I used yours (I did as you said and froze them)…and I have to say…so far your crust is the flakiest (and easiest) pie crust I have ever made. Thank you!
My daughter gave me your cook book for Christmas. I also now make your Spaghetti Chicken and divide into 4 trays and freeze. It's become a weekly dinner for me and my husband…so good and sooo easy to just take from freezer and bake!
best regards,
SeattleStarlet On Monday, March 21 at 12:14 pm

I have had to avoid your site lately as I am on a strict weight loss plan, and I just find you to be too much of a tease… you're killin' me today, Ree, just KILLIN' me!
Cynthia Schoenig On Monday, March 21 at 12:14 pm
Hey Ree-Love your site. You crack me up! Just wondering (after seeing your Alessi sun-dried tomatoes) if you've ever been to Tampa area and tasted our wonderful Spanish cuisine or if you have been here-where did you eat and what did you like? Thanks, Cynthia
Skye On Monday, March 21 at 12:24 pm
My husband's grammie has always said "Apple pie without cheese is like a kiss without a squeeze" !! Took me back a little – thanks for stirring up a memory
Vicki B On Monday, March 21 at 12:26 pm
Oh good grief! This looks too delicious. It could be veggie-ized so easily. I never tried to make a panini, which I love, because I don't have a panini maker. But I love my cast iron pans! Thank you so much for this tip.
Joan On Monday, March 21 at 12:27 pm
Since you asked, and since we are close enough that I'd never lie to you – IT LOOKS AMAAAAAAAAZING!!!!!
Annie~Savor This Moment On Monday, March 21 at 12:32 pm

Kelsey On Monday, March 21 at 12:59 pm
Holy yum. I just made myself a sandwich and mixed some pesto with sour cream for the dressing. And I don't have a panini grill so I used my waffle iron. Not the most beautiful looking, but it did the job. I. Love. Sandwiches.
Stephanie On Monday, March 21 at 5:08 pm
LOL! I never thought of using the waffle iron, but it WOULD work!
phiny On Monday, March 21 at 1:04 pm
wishing I hadn't put the roasting chicken out to thaw….wait a minute leftovers will be perfect for this! thank you!
Zel On Monday, March 21 at 1:37 pm
Yum!!!! And just FYI, basil will grow really nicely in a pot. I have some in a 10″ one from last summer. Just keep the flower buds pinched off, and presto (pesto?) you'll have fresh basil all year around. You probably won't get enough to make a ton of pesto, but still, a little bit is nice to have around.
Katryn@rampantcuisine On Monday, March 21 at 1:46 pm
You just inspired me to order a grill pan…seriously.
A Little Nosh On Monday, March 21 at 1:50 pm
This is what I love about your recipes. Simple, easy ingredients combined to make a helluva meal. This looks so good! I may even just make the marinated chicken and put it on top of some pasta.
Lynnette On Monday, March 21 at 1:59 pm
Can I just say that you are the cutest thing ever, love your writing, recipe looks oh so scrumtious, can't wait!
Maggie On Monday, March 21 at 1:59 pm
Oh my gosh – are you kidding me with this??? I want one of these RIGHT NOW! I am definitely making this for lunch over the weekend – having a hard time waiting until then … wiping away the drool … YUM! Thank you for this. Loving it!
moira On Monday, March 21 at 2:18 pm
You done burnt that pore sammich.
Ellie@fitforthesoul On Monday, March 21 at 2:23 pm
Omgoodnesss! These kinds of paninis are my favorites! Like, the saucy-tomatoey ones Great recipe~and beautiful pictures
Isolde On Monday, March 21 at 2:24 pm
Must taste fantastic!
Sarah Malone On Monday, March 21 at 2:27 pm
Dear PW,
I know you have a for real panini maker. You should know, however, that a George Foreman grill (the kind you plug in like a waffle iron) gets the job done very easily with no hassle at all.
You're welcome,
Xan On Monday, March 21 at 2:36 pm
This looks delish…but most of all, thank you for referring to multiple sandwiches as panini rather than paninis!!!
Tipsy Reader On Monday, March 21 at 2:36 pm
Uh, YUM!
Kathy - Panini Happy On Monday, March 21 at 3:18 pm
This looks just fabulous! I especially love that you made a spread too, that always imparts such wonderful flavor.
Jen On Monday, March 21 at 3:23 pm
Heavenly! I always have a hard time finding good spreads for sandwiches. They're often bland or too spicy. THis looks yummy.

Digital Storytelling
Welcome to the Rosewood Heritage Project. This is a place to document ongoing research into the community of Rosewood, Florida – a mostly African American town destroyed during a 1923 race riot. The project's goals center on a mixed methods approach combining archaeology, documentary evidence, and oral history to better understand the development and demise of Rosewood. We are also examining the use of new media to recreate the vanished landscape of Rosewood. This includes ongoing updates to the virtual world environment representing the town as it existed in 1922.
Click here for Data Warehouse
Click here for Virtual Rosewood
Another themes central to this project focuses on the legacy of such events in Florida and beyond. This includes contextualizing the history of Rosewood within local, regional, and national trends. Ongoing oral history work in Levy County illuminates the history of Rosewood, the neighboring town of Sumner, and Levy County. This research explores social memory, dark tourism, and issues of race and racism. You can read more about this research in the publications section.
This research has much to teach 21st century America regarding the legacy of inequality. Unfortunately, Rosewood is like many other locations where individuals and communities 'vanish' under a fog of collective amnesia. These hazy chapters of history haunt our collective memory and remind us that those who forget are doomed to repeat…
Thanks for visiting the site and taking an interest in this exciting project.

EAST SCHODACK - There was confusion this morning in Rensselaer County over the governor's executive order allowing voters displaced by Hurricane Sandy to cast ballots by affidavit at any polling place.
In East Schodack, displaced voters were told they had to fill out an affidavit ballot at the county board of elections in Troy.
NewsChannel 13 called the governor's office to clarify the order. It turns out that displaced voters can go to any polling place to cast a paper ballot in the presidential and senate races.
Thanks to our call, the change has now been made in Rensselaer County.

Network Virtualization: Not Just for the Service Provider
• • 0 Comments
Many network virtualization products appear to be aimed at the top 10,000 customers worldwide, accounting for their price as well as their published product direction. While this is a limited and myopic view, many claim it is for the best, their reason being that network virtualization is only really needed by the very large networks. The more I think about this approach, the more I believe it is incorrect. Let us be frank here. Most networking today, within many different organizational sizes, is a hodgepodge of technologies designed to solve the same problem(s) over and over: how to get data quickly from point A to point B with minimum disruption to service.
There were two announcements over the last few days that struck me as quite important to the virtualization community. While some may question this statement, the long reaching effects of these purchases will impact virtualization and cloud computing in not so distant future. In fact, these purchases could add a whole new layer to vSphere as we know it today. Which for VMware is a good thing. They need to continue to innovate to stay ahead of the pack. The purchases I talk about are:
VMware purchasing/taking over control of EMC Mozy
RSA purchasing NetWitness

We frequent this place on a regular basis for years now. The seafood is the freshest in the city my wife loves it.I myself am not a big fan of fish but they have steaks and lamb that are truly delicious and the desserts are wonderful . The cheese cake and flour less chocolate cake served warm with vanilla ice cream are my favorites although Iseldom have room afte r dinner.the staff is knowledgable and friendly. You won't be disappointed.

i am Greek American and a wonderful Greek cook but i must say we ordered the seafood and it was tasteless and dry. the service was practically non existent and the waiter more interested in constantly disappearing outside to smoke. he threw our food on the table and took off never to return again. the owner had to find him outside to prepare the check which of course everything was so overpriced, and the waiter got nothing as far as any gratuity because tips means to insure prompt service

We live in New Jersey and we came at least ones a week to eat in Yiasou. I honestly believe that the varieties of seafood I ate were the best that i have ever had in any restaurant. My husband and i both usually had the langustinos as our starter and a grille fish for the entrees. We both simply loved it We are completely blow away with the food! Love this place! Grate food, great ambience, and great service!

I've dined in this establishment often. It is a bit pricey, but if you are with friends who are willing to dine family style, you can curtail your expenses. It's a vividly decorated environment. I have only dined there at lunch, and it never seems to be overcrowded. Try assorted dips with warm pita bread, spinach pies, mixed salad and also their shrimp dishes and salmon are very good. Most restaurants avoid fish on Tuesdays. Fresh fish is usually delivered on Wednesdays..

I've dined here many, many times over the years and am going again for lunch now. Never have I had a problem with wait staff, food or anything else. Everything is always perfect! Salads, breads, chicken, salmon, appetizers delicious. Desserts very good also. Parking lot in back with a few spots or metered parking in front

Poorest seafood ive ever had and ridiculously expensive. Our waiter was rude, never once filled up our water when he saw it empty and practically threw the dishes at us. Im european myself so i have nothing against a fellow European but this dude must have been raised by mountain lions. He mumbled, looked ever where but at us when telling us the specials and ignored us when we kept asking for the check. Spend your mkney elsewhere

Myers Attorneyl.'ew Schwartz ABSTRACT: Implantable hearing aid apparatus having a piezoelectric ceramic element mounted adjacent to the auditory conductive system of the middle ear for imparting vibra HEARING AID WITH PIEZOELECTRIC CERAMIC ELEMENT This is a continuation of application, Ser. No. 625,042 filed Mar. 22, I967 andnow abandoned.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION Hearing aids have long been known in the field of medicalelectronics. Generally these known hearing aids are mounted external to the body and apply a vibration from a device mounted adjacent the external portion of the ear drum. While satisfactory for some uses, these known hearing aids are ineffective when the auditory system of the middle ear has become inoperative or highly inefficient. Some prior art attempts have been made to provide an implantable hearing aid by which the inoperative portions of the auditory system can be bypassed. These prior art systems used the technique of converting the vibration into air acoustics, and providing the vibrated air to the inner ear. These systems have the disadvantages of being inefficient and not capable of overcoming many common problems of inoperability of the auditory system, such as when the auditory ossicles are fused as pointed out in the publication Conservative Tympanoplasty," G. .I. .lako, MD. and C. Jansen, M.D., AMERICAN ACADEMY OF OPHTALMOLOGY AND OTOLARYNGOLOGY, IN STRUCTIONS SECTION, 1966.
To overcome these disadvantages the apparatus of this invention provides a piezoelectric ceramic element which is suitable for implantation in the middle ear structure of the body. Thus mechanical vibrations can be applied directly to the auditory system, such as the auditory ossicles or the oval window, or the vibrations can be caused at a predetermined spacing from the desired element of the auditory system.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION Briefly described, the apparatus of this invention comprises a piezoelectric ceramic element, described herein in its preferred embodiment as a bimorphic ceramic element, capable of transducing electrical signals to mechanical vibrations. The piezoelectric element is electrically connected to an electrical circuit which provides electrical signals to the piezoelectrical element representing the sound waves desired to be heard. The electrical circuit and the piezoelectric element are encapsulated in a substance inert to body fluids and tissue to avoid harmful effects from implantation in the body. The electrical circuit can be a receiver which receives electric signals from a transmitter located external to the body, or can be a complete unit which receives the sound waves through devices totally implanted, for transmission to the piezoelectric element.
IN THE DRAWINGS FIG. 1 is a view of an embodiment of the apparatus of this invention shown completely encapsulated;
FIG. 2 is a sectional view of a portion of the embodiment of FIG. I showing an encapsulated piezoelectric ceramic element;
FIG. 3 is a schematic drawing of the circuit of the embodiment of FIG. I; and
FIG. 4 is a block diagram of an external transmitter which can be used with the circuitry of FIG. 3.
DESCRIPTION OF FIGURES In FIG. 2 there is shown a sectional view of tall 13 and a portion of stem I2. Within tail 13 there is shown a piezoelectric transducer 15, here shown as a bimorphic ceramic element, similar to bimorphic elements used in phonograph pickup apparatus well known to those skilled in the electrical art. A pair of leads I6 and I7 are each shown connected to piezoelectric element 15, and extending through stem 12. Element I5 is shown encased in an epoxy 18. Element 15 and epoxy coating 18, as well as leads 16 and 17, are shown encapsulated in a substance 19 which is substantially inert to body fluids and tissue, such as silicon rubber. Preferably, the substance 19 around tail portion I3 is sufficiently thin so as to allow efficient translation of vibratory motion from transducer 15 to the auditory system of the middle ear, as more fully described below.
With respect to FIGS. I and 2 it should be understood that for purposes of clarity the drawings are not dimensionally accurate or in scale. For example, in one embodiment of this in vention which has been successfully tested, piezoelectric element 15 was 0.3-0.5 inches long; 0.05 inches wide; and 0.025 inches thick (including both layers of a bimorphic element); epoxy coating 18 around element 15 was approximately 0.01-0.015 inches thick; and substance 19 comprised a coating of about 0.01 inches thickness. The preceding dimensions are approximate.
Referring now to FIG. 3, there is shown a signal receiving coil 20. Connected in parallel with coil 20 is a capacitor 21. A diode 22 and a resistor 23 are connected in series across capacitor 21. Lead 16 connects from piezoelectric element 15 to a point between diode 22 and one side of resistor 23. Lead 17 connects between element 15 and the other side of resistor In FIG. 4 there is shown an exemplary block diagram of a transmitter used to provide signals to coil 20 of FIG. 3. In FIG, 4 there is shown a microphone 24, the output of which enters an audio preamplifier 25. Preamplifier 25 then provides a signal to a modulator 26 which in turn presents the modulated signal to an R-F oscillator 27. The output of oscillator 27 is transmitted through a transmitting coil 28 to coil 20 of FIG. 3.
OPERATION In the preferred embodiment disclosed herein, piezoelectric element 15 is a bimorphic element. That is, it is a ceramic element composed of two layers. When a voltage is applied between the two layers, that is across the bimorphic element, one of the layers tends to lengthen while the other tends to contract. Thus a bending is accomplished. It thus becomes apparent that the application of a varying voltage signal, such as one representing sound waves, will cause element 15 to bend or vibrate in response to the varying voltage signal. Element 15 is chosen to respond, or vibrate, in the audio frequency range, and is thus uniquely adapted to act as an electricalmechanical transducer in an implanted hearing aid.
The mode of vibration or bending is similar to that of a common diving board when the element used is substantially rectangular, as that shown in the preferred embodiment. As mentioned above, an element I5 can be chosen such that the frequency response covers the audio frequency range. The amount of bending or vibration is relatively small and is proportional to the amplitude of the applied signal. The bending force of an element such as element 15 is related to atomic crystal binding forces, and is thus relatively large and can overcome damping effects such as may be caused by epoxy coating 18 and silicon rubber coating 19.
It should be noted that epoxy coating 18 is shown here as part of the preferred embodiment for its function of adding further protection to the implanted device of this invention, such as added moisture protection. The apparatus of this invention will operate without epoxy coating 18. It should further be noted that greater efficiency of operation of the apparatus of this invention occurs when the portion of substance 19 encapsulating element 15 and its coating 18 in tail 13 of the apparatus is relatively thin, to avoid undue damping ef fects.
When mounting the apparatus 10 in a body, it is preferable to firmly mount one end of element (tail 13) in an area that can provide a stable platform, such as the mastoid bone. The other end of element 15 is then placed adjacent one of the elements of the auditory system of the middle ear, such as one of the auditory ossicles or the oval window. The free or vibrating end of element [5 can actually touch, or can be spaced from, the portion of the auditory system, as required. Head 11 can be mounted, for example, in the antrum cell of the mastoid, from which stem 12 can extend to tail 13 in the middle ear.
Referring to FIGS. 3 and 4, it can be seen that microphone 24 will transduce sound waves into electrical signals which will be amplified in preamplifier 25, modulated in modulator 26, and then passed on to R-F oscillator 27 whence it will be transmitted by coil 28. The apparatus of FIG. 4 is in this preferred embodiment intended to be located external to the body. However, as will be described below, it is possible to incorporate this entire hearing aid within an implantable device.
Coil 28 will transmit a modulated RF signal which will be picked up by the circuit comprising receiving coil and capacitor 21. The resulting voltage drop across capacitor 21 will be felt across diode 22 and resistor 23. Leads 16 and 17 connect element 15 across resistor 23. Diode 22 provides rectification or detection of the RF signal, and the combination of resistor 23 with the inherent capacitance of element 15 provides filtering of the RF signal leaving the resultant audio frequency modulation signal applied across element 15. Thus, as the transmitted signal varies in accordance with the varying sound waves picked up by microphone 24, a proportional varying voltage signal will be felt across element 15. This will cause bending or vibration of element 15 which will be mechanically transmitted directly to the auditory ossicle or oval window or other member of the auditory system of the middle ear.
If desired, and completely in keeping with the spirit of this invention, microphone 24 and amplifier 25 can be mounted within head 11 ofdevice 10 so that the entire hearing aid is implanted. This will remove the need for transmission and receiving coils 28 and 20, as well as modulator 26 and oscillator 27 and the associated electronic components described above, as will be obvious to those skilled in the art. Also, because a piezoelectric element such as element 15 can also be used as a microphone, microphone 24 can comprise another piezoelectric element, such as a bimorphic element, which transduces from mechanical to electrical signals.
The apparatus of this invention can also be used when it is necessary to remove completely the auditory ossicles of the middle car. This is a further example of the situation where it may be desirable to place vibrating element 15 adjacent the oval window.
ln summary, the apparatus of this invention provides a new and important hearing aid capable of implantation in the body, for imparting vibrations to one or more members of the auditory system of the middle car by means ofa piezoelectric element.

Story updated with clarification from Transport Canada on the CSeries airspace AIP in paragraph three.
Bombardier rolled the first fully painted CSeries out of the paint shop in Mirabel today at 06:00 local time, as it preps for the imminent first flight of its new narrowbody aircraft.
Montreal-based Bombardier says that it will release more pictures and a video on 23 August.
The roll-out comes shortly after Transport Canada updated airspace restrictions around Mirabel airport for the CSeries flight test programme, which extended the initial window to 22-months from this August through May 2015, in an Aeronautical Information Products (AIP) Canada update released by NAV Canada dated today. The airspace restrictions were previously scheduled for 18 months from May through November 2014.
Bombardier maintains - as it has for the past few weeks - that first flight will occur in the "coming weeks".
The aircraft, a CS100 known as FTV-1, began low-speed taxi tests on 16 August and is expected to begin high-speed taxi tests shortly.

Mikel Arteta criticizes wisdom of tying Arsenal contracts to players' age
May 16, 2014, 9:55 AM EDT
Arsenal have a general policy of offering one-year deals to players aged 30 and over. Some might think it prudent: after a certain age, players' form tends to decline. They often become more susceptible to injuries. It may even be argued that their ability to adapt to changing tactics decreases.
Mikel Arteta takes exception to his team's policy.
The 32-year-old, whose contract expires in 2015, is set to sit down to negotiations this summer. But the most he can expect is a one-year extension on his deal, keeping him at Arsenal until he's 34.
Arteta, perhaps understandably, doesn't like this blanket rule. The midfielder said, "Age can be an asset for the club. For me, a much bigger asset is someone who has played 125 games in three years compared to someone who has played 25, if he is 20 years old. That's my opinion."
The Spaniard, who arrived at Arsenal in 2011, has played 123 times for the club. He insists that his age shouldn't matter, because he'll be the first one to tell Arsène Wenger that it's time for him to step down: "The day I feel like I can't perform, I will be the first one to say: 'Listen, you have kids here, 20, 25, who are much better than me. It's my time to move on.' "
Fans of Italian club AC Milan may be willing to back Arteta's words. The club had a similar policy in place when it won the scudetto in 2011. That summer, Andrea Pirlo left for Juventus, where the 34-year-old continues to light up the pitch. The next summer, the core of the title-winning squad was out: Alessandro Nesta, Filippo Inzaghi, Mark van Bommel, Antonio Cassano, Zlatan Ibrahimović, Clarence Seedorf – all at or above 30 years old.
Milan finished third that season, but it was a difficult fight. This year, they're in danger of finishing seventh, out of the European places completely. That's not a path Arsenal want to walk…

I think you meant "prudent" rather than "prurient."

Maybe 😉

Although I agree that Arsenal need to review their over 30's policy, unfortunately Arteta has shown signs this season that he is past his best and will probably be replaced during the transfer window. Lars Bender or Morgan Schneiderlin maybe
