Spring is my favorite season of the year. It's so beautiful. Between the blooming dogwood trees and the azalea bushes the ride through the the countryside is amazingly beautiful. Every year I take a Sunday afternoon off, get in my car, and ride.
My favorite place to ride is north on the Attapulgus Highway. I start at King Street and continue until I end up in Georgia. I don't know of another more scenic route in this area. Undoubtedly, there are other scenic roads and streets in our vicinity but I don't know about them.
One of my favorite childhood memories was Easter Sunday morning. I loved getting up and finding that the Easter Bunny had come. My brothers and I always got baskets full of treats, including the typical chocolate bunny that you should always begin eating by biting off the ears.
I don't like practical jokes and I don't like nicknames. The latter, I'll deal with later but I suppose since today is officially April Fools' Day, some one will try to "get me" with a prank.
The day, since I can remember, caused me to be anxious all day and night. I can never relax on the day when pranksters, even the amateur ones, are allowed to run loose and do dumb things that are supposed to make you laugh but never do.
Gadsden County experienced a tragedy last week when a school bus accident ultimately claimed the life of a bright, beautiful young woman.
Dee Dee Murray was, by all accounts, an enthusiastic student who loved her family, her friends, her teammates and her school. She gave 100 percent in anything she did. She encouraged others. She cared for others. She was an inspiration.
She will be missed by all who knew and loved her. My heart goes out to Dee Dee's family. They've lost her way too soon.
There are some people who fascinate me. Liars for instance, fascinate me.
Liars say the craziest things and think that they are believed. I often wonder what makes them tick. I like to watch them when they are in action. If you have ever noticed, a really good liar gets caught up in his own lies.
Well...it's upon us again. Valentine's Day. My Facebook profile currently explains my thoughts on the subject: "Cupid shot me with an arrow so I pulled his wings out."
As I walk the aisles in local stores, and I see the singing stuffed animals and heart-shaped paraphernalia, I lose all hope for romance. It's all so...commercial.
I think Valentine's Day needs a makeover.
The reason Valentine's Day needs changing is the same reason a baby needs changing: It stinks and it nauseates people.
For years I have cringed when I see people driving down the street with children, often babies, in the front seat sitting in someone's lap. Or children in the back, kneeling in the seat, waving to other motorists with their little faces pressed to the window. These children are obviously not in a child restraint device.
I haven't editorialized the proposed biomass plant in Gretna because I've been writing about it, and didn't feel it was fair to state my opinion on the matter while I am covering it.
But there are some things that have been drawn to my attention that I feel I need to address in this format.
First of all, ADAGE has said one of the best things about having its facility in Gadsden County would be the contributions it will make to the tax base. Is this before or after the estimated 80 percent tax abatement ADAGE plans to ask the county for?
I don't know how many young lives former Quincy Police Officer Theotis Moore touched. If anyone could count them it would, I'm sure, number in the thousands. Moore, before he retired 2 years ago, was the Drug Abuse Resistance Education officer. He travelled throughout the county from school to school and gathering to gathering in his white van with the big red DARE letters on the side. The message he carried was don't use drugs, stay away from gangs and stay in school.
Last week's biomass summit was a true disappointment for me...for a lot of reasons.
First of all, chaos reigned, and not much was accomplished. The moderator was, bless his heart, trying to moderate, but did too much preaching and not enough moderating in my humble opinion. A firmer hand was definitely needed.
The panel was disappointing. It was stacked with people in support of the Gretna biomass plant, including an ADAGE official. The only exception was a member of the Gadsden County Concerned Citizens group. It should have been more balanced.

This is a very good vitamin. My doctor prescribed it for me when I was struggling with adrenal fatigue and wants me to continue on it now that I'm pregnant (and afterward). I was taking a chewable prenatal vitamin while I had morning sickness, because I found 6 Optivite tablets a day a bit much too swallow. It's obvious from the labels that Optivite is a much better choice, but I still hate swallowing them, and taking them crushed is even worse. But I've noticed that some of my pregnancy symptoms (like my constant runny nose) have abated since I started taking it.

Melinda B.Cleveland, OhioHairDark BrownRelaxed HairMy New Holy Grail Shine SprayThis spray is awesome because it definitely does not weigh the hair down with oil residue. It provides a weightless natural shine, not in the least bit fake looking. It makes your hair look like it has a natural sheen and it has a nice smell also. I have relaxed fine hair and I love that I can add shine to my hair without it being made to look greasy and stringy. It allows my hair to keep its movement and flow.9 out of 9 shoppers thought this review was helpful.

This product makes my hair shiny and so soft, even after using other styling products such as mousse and gel! Although it keeps my frizz in line, it doesn't provide a firm hold which is great for styling my side-swept bangs. Keeps my hair light and airy with incredible bounce!

Tests That Help Evaluate CLL
Your doctor may request tests to learn more about your specific type of leukemia and to see if the leukemia is causing any other problems in your body. This will help your doctor decide on the most effective types of treatment for you. You may need one or more of these tests.
Chest X-ray
A chest X-ray uses radiation to produce a picture of the organs and glands inside your chest. This test cannot show leukemia cells. But it can show if you have an infection in your lungs resulting from leukemia. It can also help your doctor see if lymph nodes in this area are swollen. The test takes only a few minutes, and it won't cause any pain.
Computed tomography (CT) scan
A CT scan takes X-ray pictures of different parts of your body from many different angles. Although this scan takes longer than an X-ray, it allows your doctor to get a better look at a particular area of your body than an X-ray allows. A CT scan can spot swollen lymph nodes and glands, pockets of infection in your organs, and large clusters of leukemia cells.
To have the test, you lie still on a table as it gradually slides through the center of the CT scanner. Then the scanner directs a continuous beam of painless X-rays at your body. A computer uses the data from the X-rays to create many pictures, which can be used to create a 3-dimensional picture. You may be asked to hold your breath one or more times during the scan.
In some cases, you will be asked to drink a contrast medium after an initial set of pictures is taken. This dye outlines your intestines so that they won't be mistaken for a tumor or a pocket of infection. The contrast will later pass through your system and exit through your bowel movements. Contrast dye may be given through an intravenous (IV) injection in your arm, instead of by mouth. IV contrast dye may cause a feeling of warmth. In rare cases, it can also cause hives or other allergic reactions. Let your doctor know about any reactions you have or if you have had any reactions in the past.
Bone marrow aspiration and biopsy
Bone marrow samples are usually taken from the back of the pelvic (hip) bone. Although these tests are not usually needed to diagnose CLL, they may help find out how advanced it is. Bone marrow aspiration and biopsy are commonly done before starting treatment to see how much CLL is in the bone marrow and may be repeated during or after treatment to see if the treatment is effective.
In bone marrow aspiration, the area over the hip is numbed and a thin, hollow needle is inserted into the hip bone. A syringe is used to pull out a small amount of liquid bone marrow. Even with the anesthetic, you may have some brief pain when the marrow is removed. A bone marrow biopsy is usually done just after the aspiration. A small piece of bone and marrow is removed with a slightly larger needle that is pushed down into the bone. The biopsy may also cause some brief pain.
Flow cytometry and immunohistochemistry
These lab tests are used on blood, bone marrow, or other tissue samples for immunophenotyping, which is the determination of specific substances on the surface of the leukemia cells. These tests can be used to make the diagnosis of CLL.
Flow cytometry can also be used to test blood for substances called ZAP-70 and CD38. These substances seem to be linked to what type of B lymphocyte is involved in the leukemia. Research suggests that CLL with fewer cells that express these substances may have a better outlook. Tests for these substances are still new and may not be available in all labs.
The lab looks for changes in the chromosomes of cells from samples of peripheral blood, bone marrow, or lymph nodes. For example, in some cases of CLL, part of a chromosome may be missing. This test usually takes a few weeks because the cells need time to be grown in the lab. Because of this, it is not used as often as in the past.
Newer tests for CLL
Fluorescent in situ hybridization (FISH) is a type of cytogenetic test that uses special fluorescent dyes that only attach to certain parts of certain chromosomes. It can be used to look for specific changes in chromosomes found in regular blood or bone marrow samples and does not require that the cells grow in the lab first. The FISH test is very accurate and provides results more quickly than standard cytogenetic tests, which is why it is now used in many medical centers.

Arizona Republicans warn of new world order
PHOENIX — Arizona Republican lawmakers and activists are ringing the alarm about terrorist and communist plots led by the government.
The unfounded claims took center stage during a hearing at the Arizona Legislature this week.
Republican Sen. Judy Burges opened the meeting by warning that "far-reaching and intrusive government" is targeting private property rights and individual choice.
Burges' bill banning local governments from recognizing United Nations declarations was passed by the Arizona Senate in March.
Republican Rep. Bob Thorpe said during the hearing that anti-government supporters should fire a gun in the air instead of clapping. He says he was joking.
But Democratic Sen. Steve Farley says it was inappropriate to joke about shooting in a government building.
He says Republicans are riling up emotional people by attacking the federal government.

I had no idea of the 500 word limit at first either. I was getting all ready to try and condense my already heavily condensed synopsis down when I decided to check out the entry form to see if there may have been a word limit.
I was relieved and, at the same time, tormented by such a small word limit. To condense a novel and try to pick n choose all the most important parts just isn't the easiest of tasks to begin with.

Bois de Boulogne is probably the most unique park that you could find in Europe. It is known as the "main lung" of Paris because it is bounded by many beautiful oak and cherry trees and is a breath of fresh air. It is set along the western edge of the 16th arrondissement of Paris. This is one of the largest parks in the world outsizing even Central Park in New York City and Hyde Park in London.
Visitors who are historically inclined may find the Bois de Boulogne a good place for strolling because of its rich history. You can visit the Musée des Arts et Traditions Populaires which is a very famous Museum of Folk Art and, for people who love sports, there are sporting amenities, race tracks, pools and stadiums all along this area. Bois de Boulogne has a lot of quaint pathways that are hidden within the trees and there are many different ways for the travelers to discover them. It is common for Paris residents to either walk or drive through the park during the day and many people take special rides in horse-drawn carriages. Most tourists usually find it difficult to see everything in Bois de Boulogne even if they have tried to spend a few days in this wonderful park.

CSX Transportation Co. announced Monday it will increase the operating speed limit on its tracks between Adams Center and Antwerp from 25 to 40 mph.
The change will go into effect on Nov. 4.
The company, in a news release, said the 40-mile section of track includes 22 public at-grade highway crossings. Two of them are in the city, at Coffeen and Bradley streets, two are in Evans Mills, one is in Philadelphia and three are in Antwerp.
CSX said the higher speed, which it called consistent with Federal Railroad Administration standards, will help reduce waiting times for drivers at grade crossings and improve the efficiency of rail operations.
CSX increased the speed limit to 40 mph from Antwerp to Potsdam on Jan. 7. Canton village officials protested in September and CSX officials promised to meet with the village Board of Trustees to discuss the issue. That meeting has not yet been held.
To meet federal safety standards, CSX inspects railroad tracks visually at least once a week, spokesman Robert T. Sullivan said in an email. At least annually, they are inspected by sophisticated equipment to check the condition and stability of the rail and track structure.
Based on the new 40 mph speed limit, the automated timing system of warning devices will be changed at crossings, Mr. Sullivan said.
Trains moving through the grade crossing at Noble Street in Evans Mills, next to a Stewarts Shop, often hold up traffic in the business district, said Ronald C. Taylor, LeRay town supervisor. Occasionally, traffic is backed up to the intersection at Main Street. Trains pass through the intersection about five times daily.
Some residents will welcome the change by CSX to raise the train speed because it will mean shorter waiting times, Mr. Taylor said. But there are families with children who live near the crossing, he said, who might be opposed to raising the speed.
The longest Ive had to wait is about three minutes, he said.
Town officials had not been contacted by CSX about the plan to raise the speed limit, Mr. Taylor said. Evans Mills officials also said they werent notified.

Following a decade of revenue surpluses, the Utah Legislature faces the challenge of turning a projected $200 million shortfall into a balanced budget.
"This year's budget process will be significantly different," indicated Utah Senate executive appropriations chair Leonard Blackham of Moroni. "Because we don't want budget adjustments to harm Utahns' physical or economic well-being, we are asking for even greater participation from state agency directors, interested parties and the public."
Blackham stressed the importance of informed individuals participating in the budget process and pointed out areas where savings are possible.
Senate president Al Mansell of Sandy said the Legislature doesn't want to reduce agency budgets to the point where public safety is compromised or educator effectiveness is jeopardized.
However, when 87 percent of Utah's tax revenues are committed to four areas - education, health and human services, law enforcement and transportation - and the state is anticipating receiving $200 million less in tax revenues, difficult decisions will have to be nude.
To make the necessary budget adjustments, Blackham said legislators will gather six days during the next two weeks in pre-session meetings to review budget concerns and discuss legislative issues. The general session starts Jan. 21.
All 104 members of the Legislature have been divided into nine appropriation subcommittees and an executive appropriations committee that will meet during the pre-session to examine how taxpayer dollars are spent. The appropriation subcommittees will meet Jan. 8 to review Gov. Mike Leavitt's budget recommendations, receive public and agency comment as well as recommendations from the legislative fiscal analyst's office on proposed budget adjustments for fiscal year 2002.
"Legislators want to fully understand the economic impact of proposed budget adjustments from the governor and legislative fiscal analyst's office," said Blackham. "Our hope is that state agencies, interested parties and the public will work closely with these appropriation subcommittees to effectuate reasonable adjustments, resulting in a balanced budget, without dramatically impacting Utahns' lives."
The subcommittees will meet Jan. 15-17 to finalize recommendations for the executive appropriations committee on the 2002 financial guidelines and begin fiscal year 2003 budget discussions.
Comprised of legislative leaders from the two major political parties, the executive committee will meet Jan. 16 to receive subcommittee reports. The executive committee will meet Jan. 17 to take final action on Utah's fiscal year 2002 budget.
Recently released budget shortfalls for other states include Arizona at $1.5 billion, Minnesota at $2 billion, Virginia at $1 billion, Washington at $1.2 billion and Wisconsin at $1.3 billion.
"Utah still has projected new revenue growth," said Blackham. "However, it is just not as large as revenue projections prior to the national economic slowdown and 9/11 attacks."
According to the officials, legislative leaders have agreed with several of Leavitt's budget recommendations. But questions surfaced regarding the proposal to use the rainy day fund, Interstate 15 savings and cash from the capital budget.
"The Legislature, just like a family cutting back during tough times, will first look to reduce costs before dipping into its savings or other funding sources," concluded Mansell.

Boyd pitches another gem, shuts out Utah 1-0
CORVALLIS, Ore. – Matt Boyd really likes pitching at Goss Stadium.
Boyd's home field has certainly been friendly for the left-handed starter over the years and Friday night was no different as he two-hit Utah in a 1-0 Oregon State win to open the club's three-game series with the Utes.
"Matt has pitched well, to say the least, and he has taken advantage of the support he receives at home," Oregon State head coach Pat Casey said. "Tonight was no different. He got ahead of batters and that served him well."
Boyd struck out eight Friday against the Utes and became just the second Oregon State (26-6 overall, 8-2 Pac-12 Conference) pitcher in the last 12 years to record multiple shutouts in one season, matching Sam Gaviglio's two in 2011.
The Utes (14-15, 4-9) managed just four baserunners against Boyd and the lefty threw to just two batters over the minimum as two innings were ended by Jake Rodriguez's arm on stolen base attempts.
Boyd is 3-0 with a 0.91 earned run average at Goss Stadium this season. In 40 career appearances at home – and five starts – he is 8-1 with a 1.07 ERA.
Naturally, Boyd picked up the win to improve to 7-1 this season.
Utah's Mitch Watrous also had an outstanding start, going seven innings, allowing four hits and one run. He took the loss to fall to 2-2 this season.
The game's lone run came in the first. Tyler Smith, in the starting lineup for the first time since March 17, singled on a blooper down the right field line and moved to third on a single by Michael Conforto. Dylan Davis picked up his 23rd RBI of the season when he grounded out to second, allowing Smith to score.
Oregon State and Utah continue their series Saturday at 2:05 p.m. PT.

Chinos - because of the travesty that is "business casual" most people will be able to get away with these at work, even with a corporate business position, and they work well transferring into a casual afternoon around town.
*Trousers - notable exception, if you're down for a dressier option, get some great trousers and wear them as the nicer alternative to chinos. I find lighter colors are always easier to integrate into your existing wardrobe.

You receive a "No camera available" error message when you try to use a camera in OneNote 2003
When you try to use a camera in Microsoft Office OneNote 2003, you may receive the following error message:
No camera available. Make sure the camera is correctly installed and connected.
Note If you test the camera in the Tuning Wizard, the camera may test successfully.
This issue may occur when you try to use a camera that supports Video for Windows (VFW) in OneNote 2003.
To resolve this issue, use a camera that supports the Windows Device Model (WDM).
Most new video capture devices use WDM drivers. In the WDM architecture, Microsoft supplies a set of hardware-independent drivers, that is named class drivers, and the hardware vendor provides hardware-specific minidrivers. A minidriver implements any functions that are specific to the device. For most functions, the minidriver calls the Microsoft class driver.
Some earlier capture devices still use VFW drivers. Although these drivers are now obsolete, they are supported in Microsoft DirectShow through the VFW Capture filter.
For more information about DirectShow, visit the following Microsoft Web site
OneNote 2003 only supports devices that support the WDM and does not support the earlier VFW model. VFW devices include most video capture cards and the ATI All-in-Wonder card.

Rolling 401k Into Gold
Wise people will always want to have a saving plan that will protect them in the future. Saving as we know is it is very essential as it provides a future for us when we retire. Good planning starts at a personal level. Everyone desires a secure retirement and as a result want to see better returns on their investments irrespective of what the modern world is experiencing today. As a matter of fact, the rate of unemployment, insecurity in the stock market, natural disasters, as well as inflation, has created a very bad taste in the mouths of investors these days. Many retirees are thinking about rolling their 401k into a gold ira's plan as an investment hedge against the uncertain and insecure future.
Most affected people such as businessmen and investors who keep track of current trends in finance have become more frustrated as time goes on. They've been pushed to the wall so to speak. The rate of inflation did not just grow overnight. There are factors that contributed to it and this is where financial experts should focus all their attention and look for mechanisms to restore the economy back to normal. A recent research report has indicated that investments such as precious metals can help protect you against uncertainty. Gold has remained significant for decades and its value keeps on increasing.It's becoming more well known that you can actually have a retirement plan primarily backed by it.
An Individual Retirement Account is a must have for any serious investor. As the name suggests, this account bears the name of the one responsible. One can ask himself how this is related to gold. Well, the 401k plan is another saving plan that enables the employees to save for their future retirement. It also gives them the advantage of choosing which investment option they want. The downside is that your choices are limited to what your employer offers. Additionally, you can't touch the money until you are no longer working for your current employer.
During this period, he can then contact a 401k plan administrator to transfer his account. This is normally done within a period of 60 days and if one wants to invest part of his retirement into an IRA that has the option of dealing with precious metals, then he will need to find a gold ira custodian to do it for him. Gold in this case, is the most sought precious metal as it is known for its value and durability.
In this sense, many investors have opted to invest in gold to secure their wealth and assets. It should be noted that gold can only be accepted if it has been approved by the IRS. There are only specific brands of gold that can be accepted and therefore the investor should be aware. They should choose the best dealer. This is not easy; he will need to sacrifice time in order to come up with the best dealers. There are also a big number of companies that deal with gold but they always have different pricing structures. This is why the investor has to search online for companies with good BBB ratings and experience as well.
Companies with solid backgrounds will not only instill confidence in you but also give you adequate advice on the gold market and how to deal with its volatility. The process of rolling over a 401k plan into gold is beneficial as the investor can choose to invest part or all of their retirement into an IRA that will be pegged to the performance of gold. There are a number of options that the investor can choose to invest. Getting a good IRA custodian is also a wise idea at this point as he will be able give you enough advice on the same apart from ensuring your account is in a stable condition. In most cases, getting the best custodian is not easy but the investor can seek from previous investors or get information from the internet. As a matter of fact, saving in these plans has its own advantages and disadvantages, before choosing to invest in the precious metals, it is vital for individuals to have adequate information and also be prepared to go with the mood of the stock market.
This is because gold is just a commodity and this will not stop other factors from affecting it. The dollar really affects the gold value. For instance, when the dollar is on the decline, then investors will smile as the value of the gold commodity will rise. But on the vice versa, the investors will loose. These trends are unstable and they keep on fluctuating depending on the stock exchange rate and this means the precious metals are not a guarantee. One has to be prepared for all changes that take place in the current market.
When choosing a good gold IRA company, the investor should not care about the time he is going to use for the same. What counts is the ultimate results and in most cases all people want the best. A good first step will pave way for bigger returns. It has been approved that investing in gold is far much better compared to other saving plans which have so far received a lot of setbacks in the past. One reason for this mode of investment is that one can always be assured of real retirement refund and not like in the case where many papers are involved. Though the value of gold may fluctuate from time to time.
The investor will not have a headache as this is normally short term. It is wise to get a company that offers the best IRA services as well as the one that sell gold in terms of coins. One can always identify a good company through their assistance, and their level of commitment to meet your interests. It is true that in the future the value of gold will have appreciated and this will be among the best ways to reduce inflation cases.

The Coveteur
- 1 of 21Since we kicked off our Fashion Office series by taking you inside our Los Angeles work space, it only seems fitting we also give you a truly exciting peek at the inspirational (and brand new!) Toronto offices of our incredibly stylish partners-in-crime: The Coveteur. It was only a matter of time before Erin Kleinberg, Stephanie Mark, and photographer Jake Rosenberg-- the masterminds behind the beloved site--turned the cameras onto themselves, and we couldn't be more thrilled to give you all of the behind-the-scenes access here on Who What Wear!
- 2 of 21Top:
"We always have our Canadian (yes-if you haven't realized by now we're based in Toronto) Press Stylebook and Caps and Spelling Guide on hand-hence the spelling of "favourite" throughout our website. It all makes sense now, right? Oh, and the Chicago Manual of Style. Many of our office debates have been settled by this massive orange book; it's practically our bible...aside from Style.com."
"We're all about paying homage to our Canadian red and white roots, but we couldn't help but give a shout out to our homes away from home: the U.S.A and the U.K., too. We'd argue we spend more time on planes than at our desks here. And shout out to Tylenol, the unofficial sponsor of T.C. HQ for getting us through endless headaches."

All In The Name

- 5 of 21Top:
"This is homage to our fashion family: Uncle Karl and Auntie Anna. Enough said."
- 6 of 21Bottom:
"We're kind of hoarders...but only when it comes to our Brag Board. (It doesn't compete with Nicole Phelps's, but it comes close.) Over the past year and half, we've saved every note, invite, backstage pass we've ever received. We've been so fortunate to have met and worked with some of the most amazing people in the biz and there's nothing like a handwritten note straight from the source; e-mail is so 2012."
- 7 of 21
- 8 of 21"It's safe to say that this is where the magic happens: Jake's office. This is another big photo, big frame, big moment in TC history. Jake captured this photo during our collab with Chloé for the MET Gala. This photo seemed like something straight out of the Studio 54 days when Bobby Miller shot the scene as the stars left the club."
- 9 of 21Top:
"Jake loves to collect vintage cameras and film as a nod to the past; we just think they look really dope."
"The Eiffel Tower is a fond reminder of The CoveTour de France when we travelled to Paris with CHANEL to attend the Paris-Bombay show, tour the Massaro, the Joaillerie, and of course, Coco Chanel's apartment. We popped by Colette and made sure to snatch a few symbolic souvenirs."
- 10 of 21"The better the photo, the bigger the frame. Plus, these are some of our most epic moments: Capturing (or should we say "Kapturing?") Khloe Kardashian's Louboutin-filled kloset, our collab with CHANEL at Jen Brill's pad, and the day we went backstage at OVO Fest with Drake, Nicki Minaj, Snoooooooooooooop (you know how it goes!), 2 Chainz, Rick Ross (a.k.a. Ricky Rozay) and more. Truly unforgettable!"
- 11 of 21"Our very good friend, Curtis Kulig, gave us this "Love Me" poster. We seriously love him and his work. (PS: stay tuned for his closet: coming soon to a Coveteur near you!) Our inspiration board is full of tear sheets from some of our favourite magazines, thank you cards, and of course, a few words of wisdom: "Keep calm and Coveteur on."
- 12 of 21Bottom:
"This fireplace was a major selling point for our office. That and the exposed brick, high ceilings, loft and beams. (Yeah, we really lucked out hard with this space.) We're proud to display our National Magazine Award for Best New Visual Creators, which we won earlier this year. It's practically the Oscars of the magazine publishing world. It was a huge honour to be recognized for our work and gain the respect of our industry peers. Such a huge accomplishment! We keep our flask close by for...well, long nights."
- 13 of 21"We've done some pretty amazing things over the past year and half, from touring Coco Chanel's apartment to shooting the wardrobe department of the National Ballet of Canada. After shooting the costumes of Romeo and Juliette, the lovely people of the NBOC gifted us with these pointe shoes. We clearly don't do ballet (nor will we ever be the next Alessandra Ferri!) but we like to put these on from time to time and channel our inner Black Swans."
- 14 of 21"When we found this office, we knew there was huge potential to do things that reflected our style and aesthetic: clean, modern and a with big splash of colour. We turned our office into a micro-museum of some of our best work and spent endless hours choosing our favourite photos to frame. As for the Charlotte Olympias, Erin received them as a gift from Ms. Charlotte Olympia herself. They even came with a cute Polaroid signed by Charlotte-and yes, Erin kept that, too."

Enter Eric Gordon
Posted by Kevin Arnovitz on Thu, 10/16/08, 07:56am:
Since the moment Eric Gordon was drafted #7 overall by the Clippers, there's been a persistent skepticism about him in the Naçion. Clipper fans have been slow to embrace the glowing, c. 2007 scouting reports that touted Gordon's sweet stroke, his brute strength, his innate ability to sniff the basket from anywhere on the floor. To Clipper fans, EJ had all the markings of a classic Clipper draft day bust -- injury-prone, a stubborn shooter with tunnel vision, a combo guard who really isn't, and that familiar star solipsism displayed both on and off the court.
As drama swirled around the Clippers this summer, Gordon became an afterthought. Few Clipper fans regarded him as a potential plus-factor coming into the season. Reports of an ankle injury and subsequent comments that he didn't feel that he was "really missing anything" soured Clipper fans even more on EJ. He saw his first action in a Clippers jersey on Tuesday night in Oklahoma City, putting up a forgettable 2-8 line from the field.
But last night, Gordon had arguably his finest night since he graduated North Central High in Indianapolis. In simplest terms, EJ took over the game in the fourth quarter. He scored 33 points -- 21 in the 4th quarter -- on 26 true shot attempts [63.4 TS%]. That paralyzing crossover and sweet follow-through were on full display, as was the handle that EJ-partisans insisted could translate into legitimate PG duties. Neither Bobby Brown or Bobby Jackson had a chance against EJ in the 4th, as the Clippers rolled.
The challenge going forward into the regular season for Gordon will be leveraging his ability to nail shots from beyond into something better closer in -- be it a little stop-and-pop at 15, a driving layup to the hole, or finding a big on the block or Thornton on the wing. At IU, Gordon displayed good instincts of the court. If he can parlay impulse into presence for the Clippers, he'll endear himself to the skeptics.

How many secret servicemen does Egyptian President Mohammed Morsi need to protect him? I count at least ten men's warehouse-clad agents below.
I like the massive doves on the banner too. Nice touch, very peaceful. The giant head of Morsi? Also very professional. Although it almost looks like they slipped some subliminal writing in on big-man Morsi's mustache. You will obey Mohammed. You will do everything he says. You are getting very sleepy:
For years, I had problems spelling Egypt. I finally stumbled on a useful mnemonic device for the proper spelling. Just think gyp when trying to spell the country's name. Not that I'm saying anything about Egpyt. I mean Eypgt. Er, Eygpt. . . Ah, Egypt. Right. Egypt, gypland.

The difference comes next: Persian rice has one cooking step that pasta doesn't have. Persian rice gets steamed. Think of it this way: since this rice is fancy, it requires a "spa treatment." What is the result when you pamper yourself in a sauna? A new you! What is the result when you treat your rice to a "spa treatment"? Each and every grain of rice becomes its own entity and a pearl from heaven! What is the best after-effect of a "spa treatment" for a woman? It makes a better wife, a better motherand a better cook! What is the best after-effect of a "spa treatment" for Persian rice? The most scrumptious, crunchy, golden crust: TADIG!
To make this rice you will need a colanderand the smaller the openings, the better. You don't want your precious rice to slip out! Also, many Persian cooks wash and soak the rice as if it were dirty laundry…I am sorry, I keep my laundry in the basement and I don't have time for all that soaking, so trust me when I tell you that you don't need to do it!
The quantities in the recipe below might seem large, but considering that Persians breathe rice, it goes really fast. If you want to make a smaller quantity, try only 3 cups rice, 8 cups water, 1/4 cup oil, and 1 tablespoon salt. Also, any basmati rice will do. Basmati rice is also available in whole-grain brown; although it is a little stickier, it is absolutely delicious and healthful!
YIELD: 8 servings
IngredientsCooking the rice
- 5 cups basmati rice, checked and rinsed
- 12 cups water
- 1/2 cup canola oil
- 3 tablespoons salt
- 1/4-inch canola oil poured into the bottom of the saucepan
- 2 tablespoons water
- 1/4 teaspoon turmeric or powdered saffron (optional, for a more authentic flavor)
To cook the rice
1. Fill a large nonstick saucepan (at least 6 quarts) with 12 cups water; add oil and salt. Cover and bring to a brisk boil over high heat.
2. Add the rice and continue cooking over medium to high heat, stirring occasionally.
3. After 3-5 minutes, use a slotted spoon to scoop some grains from the water. Break one grain in half to make sure it is "al dente" (see above). Turn off the heat and pour rice into the colander to drain; set aside.
To steam and make tadig
1. Place the empty 6-quart saucepan back onto the stovetop over medium heat. Add 1/4-inch canola oil and 2 tablespoons water. Add turmeric and/or saffron powder. Stir together.
2. Add the drained rice and shape it into a pyramid. Cover the pot and cook for 5-7 minutes until rice begins to steam.
3. Uncover and place 2 paper towels (one on top of the other) over the rice. The ends will extend outside the pot. Replace the lid tightly.
4. Reduce heat to low and simmer, covered, for 45 minutes. Turn off the heat and tilt the lid until ready to serve.
5. With a wide spatula, scoop the rice from the pot, making sure not to disturb the crust (tadig) that formed on the bottom of the pot. Serve the rice on a flat serving platter, mounding it into the shape of a pyramid. Turn the tadig out onto a flat serving platter by inverting the pot, as you would invert a cake pan, or cut it into pieces and serve around the rice.
Optional garnish: Saffron Rice
1. To make saffron water, mix together 1 teaspoon crushed saffron threads and 1/4 cup hot water. Steep for a few minutes, until the water becomes yellow.
2. Mix saffron water with steamed white rice. Use this intensely yellow rice to make designs on the Chelo.
To reheat this rice:
Pour 1/2 cup water mixed with 1/4 cup canola oil onto the pyramid in a large pot. You can also freeze this rice, as long as you do not stir it until it is completely defrosted. You can even cook it, freeze it, and later steam it as it defrosts. I know I will have to spend time in "rice hell" for admitting to freezing Persian rice, but it is worth it to make my life easier!
Tricks of the trade
Chelo cooks very quickly. Therefore, when I make Chelo, I
always make sure to have a colander ready in the sink to drain the rice so I do
not overcook it. Also, when you steam the rice by placing the paper towels
between the lid and the pot, make sure these are safely away from the heat.
After this rice is steamed, it is important to tilt the lid to allow any extra
steam to escape so that the crunchy bottom does not become soggy.
I often cook this rice on Thursday and have it ready to steam on Friday a few hours before Shabbat.

The values are 5, 10, 15, 20, and 25, but when I select '25' from the dropdown, I'm redirected to a 404. When I go back in, the 25 has been saved, and I can see the first 25 records. Also, sometimes '20' works, sometimes it doesn't.
I've tried ob_start, etc to try and break down what's going on, but I can't. Any help?
Admin: please move to php coding -> general forum
