This week at Awol Marines, Bobby meets a true stud with an alluring mix of masculine virility and metrosexual fashion sense. In other words, the kind of man who tends to drive women (and many gay men) wild. When the guy strips down to his boxer briefs, we find out that he has hairy legs and a slightly furry chest. After Bobby starts up a porn video, the guy jerks off and shoots a big load all over his stomach. Bobby then continues filming as the sexy marine gets dressed and prepares to leave.

Just because a guy is in the military doesn't mean that he can't be a kinky, bisexual pervert. In fact, military life may actually encourage that kind of behavior! Want proof? Just check out this nasty fuck who showed up on Bobby Garcia's doorstep looking to get off! This sexy recruit has dark hair and a wholesome, boy-next-door look. But when he strips naked, he's got a cock ring fastened around his hard dick! This guy gets off on being watched as he jerks off on the foot of Bobby's bed and he puts on quite a show until he finally drops his load and then leaves. God bless America and the twisted, repressed sexuality of its armed forces!

A burly blond military stud shows up at Bobby"s house with his smaller, dark-haired buddy. Bobby always suggests to these guys www.atoledo.com that they help each other to get off, but usually they refuse. Sometimes, however, they say yes – just like these guys did! The smaller guy gets on his knees and gives his buddy a great blowjob/handjob combo. Bobby Garcia hits the jackpot once again!
This Military Stud Is All Man
On June 08, 2010 in All American Military, AWOL Marines, Big Dick, Boot Camp Sex, Hung Soldiers, Jerking Off, Military Videos, Soldiers We'd Fuck, Solo J/O
Almost all of the guys who show up at Bobby Garcia's house are straight. In reality, sexuality is rarely black and white, so
product spy ware phone thefierce.net skin trouble fine effect was.
most "straight" men fall somewhere in the middle of the sexual orientation scale. For these guys, different kinds of situations (like being stuck in the military) dictate sexual behavior. The military stud in this clip is a perfect example. As soon as you see him, it's obvious that this guy is all man. However – if he has to jerk off in front of another guy in order to relieve his sexual tension, he'll do it. Check out his buff body and watch the way he puts his hands down his underwear as he gets ready to jerk off! All Man – A Straight Stud Jerks Off At AWOL Marines
Promise Not To Tell

When two buddies get wildly horny in Bobby Garcia's basement after watching some lesbian porn, Bobby suggests that one of them should suck his buddy's cock to help him out. As often seems to happen in these situations, one guys really wants his dick sucked and the other guy is open to the idea of doing it. But he'll only do it on one condition… "You've got to promise not to tell ANYone that I sucked your dick, man! " Judging from the way this blowjob goes down, we have a feeling it won't be the last time that these two recruits help each other out!

|ST elevation measurements differ in patients with inferior myocardial infarction and right ventricular infarction.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 20870367 Owner: NLM Status: In-Data-Review
|PURPOSE: Few studies specify the methods used to measure ST-segment elevation (STE). We therefore assessed differences in electrocardiography results depending on STE measurement methods for patients with inferior acute myocardial infarction (MI) and right ventricular infarction.
METHODS: This study was a retrospective analysis. The STE group consisted of 88 patients consecutively admitted to the emergency department with inferior ST elevation MI associated with occlusion of right coronary artery or left circumflex coronary artery who underwent primary percutaneous coronary intervention. The control group consisted of 109 patients with non-ST elevation MI who had occlusion of right coronary artery or left circumflex coronary artery and underwent percutaneous coronary intervention. Measurements were performed at the J point and 60 milliseconds later for limb lead and right precordial V(4) lead (V4R). The criterion of at least 1-mm STE in 2 consecutive leads was applied, and the diagnostic accuracy of V4R was calculated.
RESULTS: In the STE group, the measurements 60 milliseconds after the J point were significantly higher than measurements at the J point at the II, III, aVF, and V4R leads. In the control group, only the measurements at lead I differed significantly. There was a 5% difference in diagnostic sensitivity depending on the measuring points in the STE group, a 1% to 3% difference in the control group, and a 10% to 11% difference at the V4R lead.
CONCLUSION: In patients with inferior MI, STE depends on the method of measurement, indicating a need for the standardization of measurements.

As a banker, i can say that we deserve double the salary than we are paid now. No department in public domain have this much of work load and pressure.
Some points covered in 14th December 2013 meeting:
From the IBA, it was stated that looking to the stress on the profitability of the
Banks, the increasing cost on account of pension, the declining profits, etc, it
would be difficult to take any additional cost on account of wage increase.
From IBA perspective, they don't want to increase the salary at all. So, 0% hike will be their idea. After lot of explanations by UFBU members about high inflation and increase in operating profits etc., IBA offered 5% increase.
IBA also stated that in regard to officers, they would like to cover the
discussions only upto Scale III officers.
This clearly states that there will be separate negotiations for Scale 4 to Scale 7 Cadres. They might simply offer 0% hike for them.
IBA further stated that the Government is not in favour of our demand for introduction of 5 Days Banking.
Yes. They want 0% hike but 7days working a week.
UFBU informed the IBA that their offer falls too short of our demand and expectation and hence not acceptable to us.
There are numerous reasons for IBA to offer a 5% hike.
1) 1st reason will be the increased and huge competition for bank jobs. Due to this, IBA is not bothered about the talented youngsters. They are very sure that offering high salary is not much needed as everyone is competing for bank jobs at the current level salary.
2) IBA has realised that Union Leaders and Bank Unions are toothless and can only barge and not take action. UFBU & other union leaders who are retired and on the verge retirement should hand over the job to young generation bankers who can challenge the IBA and GoI without any fear. These leaders may think of their own needs i.e., pension. In 9th BPS, There was less hike due to pensioners issue.
Please wakeup union leaders and do something to save our bankers. We are not asking for 40 or 50% hike, just 20% hike will do justice. 5 days banking will be a good news for bankers but GoI wont allow it at any cost. Asking for 5 day week may only delay our wage revision further. Wage revision should be same for all. How they can ignore scale 4 and above officers from wage revision.
"In meeting at Hyderabad (23 Dec 2013), it has been decided to urge upon IBA and the government to resume talks with a better and reasonable offer of wage increase and expedite settlement failing which the unions would go on a 48-hour strike from January 20," United Forum of Bank Unions (UFBU) convener C H Venkatachalam told PTI.
This is unwanted and unacceptable situation. Once again IBA and GoI showed their negligence towards bankers. Hope, we can see a happy ending in 2014.
I will post 10th Bipartite Settlement News from time to time. Hope for the Best!

EMAP | Sites | Historical Overview
(1999-2004) - Western Pilot - California
Environmental Monitoring
and Assessment Program (EMAP)
In the spring of 1999, DFG entered into a cooperative agreement with the EPA to serve as the primary organization conducting the field and laboratory efforts for EPA's EMAP Western Pilot study.
EMAP overview
The Environmental Monitoring and Assessment Program (EMAP) is a research program to develop the tools necessary to monitor and assess the status and trends of national ecological resources. EMAP's goal is to develop the scientific understanding for translating environmental monitoring data from multiple spatial and temporal scales into assessments of current ecological condition and forecasts of future risks to our natural resources.
EMAP aims to advance the science of ecological monitoring and ecological risk assessment, guide national monitoring with improved scientific understanding of ecosystem integrity and dynamics, and demonstrate multi-agency monitoring through large regional projects. EMAP develops indicators to monitor the condition of ecological resources. EMAP also investigates designs that address the acquisition, aggregation, and analysis of multiscale and multitier data.
Western Pilot
The purpose for this western study is to further advance the science of monitoring and to demonstrate the application of core tools from EMAP in monitoring and assessment across the West. The Western Geographic Study will serve to advance both the science of monitoring and the application of monitoring to policy, provide an opportunity to push the science and its application to new levels, both in terms of the type of systems addressed (mountainous and arid systems) and the size of the region covered (essentially one third of the conterminous U.S.), and demonstrate the application of EMAP designs in answering the urgent and practical assessment questions facing the western EPA Regional Offices, while framing these unique studies in a methodology that can be extended to the entire nation.
The primary objectives of the Western Pilot Study (EMAP-WP), the surface waters component of the Western Geographic Study are to:
· Develop the monitoring tools (biological indicators, stream survey design, estimates of reference condition) necessary to produce unbiased estimates of the ecological condition of surface waters across a large geographic area (or areas) of the West; and
· Demonstrate those tools in a large-scale assessment.
The goal of EMAP-WP is to provide answers to three general assessment questions:
1. What proportion of stream and river miles in the U.S. are in acceptable (or poor) biological condition?
2. What is the relative importance of potential stressors (habitat modification, sedimentation, nutrients, temperature, grazing, timber harvest, etc.) in streams and rivers across the West?; and
3. With what stressors are streams and rivers in poor biological condition associated?
The resource population of interest for EMAP-WP are all perennial streams and rivers as represented in EPA's River Reach File (RF3), with the exception of the "Great Rivers" (the Columbia, Snake, Colorado and Missouri Rivers). The pilot study will utilize an EMAP probability design to select sites which are statistically representative of the resource population of interest. This will allow one to extrapolate ecological results from the sites sampled to the entire population. A comprehensive set of ecological indicators will be implemented in a coarse survey of streams and rivers across all of the West (the conterminous portions of EPA Regions 8, 9, and 10), as well as in several more spatially-intensive "focus areas" in each Region. Sample sizes (i.e., numbers of stream sites) have been chosen to allow eventual estimates of condition to be made for each state, each Regional focus area, numerous aggregated ecological regions (e.g., mountainous areas of the Pacific states, the Southern Basin and Range, etc.), major river basins, and many other potential geographic classifications.

Irani traditional medicine
|This article needs additional citations for verification. (July 2012)
Irani-tebb or Irani Traditional Medicine, also called Tebb e Sonnati is one of famous forms of traditional medicine which the founding in four humours concept: Phlegm (Balgham), Blood (Dam), Yellow bile (Ṣafrā') and Black bile (Saudā').. Some traditional medicine forms are in this base. Unani and Graeco-Arabic are the most famous of that. Which is based on the teachings of Greek physician Hippocrates, and Roman physician Galen, and developed by Rhazes, Avicenna (Ibn Sena) into an elaborate medical system. The old medical system, developed by a number of nations. Irani-tebb although often presumed as part of Unani medicine because of a great overlap between these two, still is a separate tradition with roots further in the ancient Iranian past and Indian.
Ancient Iranian Medicine, the basic knowledge of four humours as a healing system was developed by Hakim Ibn Sina (known as Avicenna in the west) in his medical encyclopedia The Canon of Medicine.[1][2]

Tuesday January 22, 2013Quick Thoughts From Daniel Gibson Entering 2013 Season
Gainesville, Fla.
Gainesville, Fla.
Junior left-hander Daniel Gibson (Lutz, Fla.) recently answered a few questions about the 2013 season from Lisa Gallo of the UF Communications Department.
As a junior, how would you describe your role on the team this year?
This year, on the field, Im not really sure yet if Im going to start or be in the bullpen, because the last two years Ive been in the bullpen. Off the field, Im talking to the younger players to get them ready for the season, telling them the ins and outs of how the year goes and just getting them prepared for the season.
How has the success of your last two years with UF prepared you for the upcoming season?
Playing at Florida, youre always in the spotlight. With going to Omaha these past two years, the first two years Ive been here, its definitely helped me mature a lot as a player. Always having to play against the best, with the best, it helps you prepare and know what you have to do going into the season to be the most successful.
Describe the energy within the team as the season opener is approaching.
I think that everyone is ready. Everyone is working hard and doing everything they need to do to get ready and were definitely excited to get practice started at the end of the week. This Friday (Jan. 25) is the first day of practice and thats three weeks away from Opening Day.
Describe the competition level in the SEC, specifically this season.
There are a lot of good teams. Were going to have to play well each weekend to get wins. I think its pretty spread out there are not many teams that arent competitive and every team has a couple of starting pitchers that are really good. Were going to have to prepare every weekend.
How have you grown as a player while at UF?
Knowing from the older guys what you need to do to prepare yourself to pitch its not just going out there and doing what you have to do on the mound its all the stuff that goes on before you even get out there that prepares you to be the most successful when you do get on the mound in a game.

When the chinese bubble finally bursts, it will make the dot-bomb era look tame.
Nothing else to do but shake one's head at this.
Moin from Germany,
but keep this in mind…
The mainland A-share float has a free float of about 2 per cent – and such a thin float makes market price a poor guide to intrinsic value
in a closed system (since we or anyone other than mainland chinese can't participate) how is that any difference than Level 3 valuations??. It only floated a small portion of scaleable shares.
Don't forget that low floaters are usually what you thought the first time you heard the phrase……
Speculation in oil is conveniently shrouded in "fundamental" issues like demand, etc. but the real fundamental affecting oil now is greed. "De-Nile is more than just a river in Egypt."
the ADS's listed in NY show down 10% today and a market cap of 400B…
Headline sell indicator CaseStudy #2???
The perfect end to the perfect bubble.
Can anyone confirm whether Chinese mainlanders can short stocks? I believe they are not allowed to do so?
oh, for a second, I thought you were referring to last week's tally of counter party defaults on OTC derivatives.
This is a bell ringing for the blow-off top. Being the inveterate gamblers they are, don't expect the Chinese will hear it for another year.

The Chinese have had a taste of the good life…now it's time to pull the rug out, destabilize and finally rush in with "bailout" loans with all kinds of strings attached. Nothing new under the sun.

I don't understand ??
Is it the chinese you implying with credit problems or the US ??
There is a trade surplus and the associated excess liquidity in China, a far different situation than that in The US.
Barry- If PetroChina is value around Trillion, then I am worth four times as much.
Can one spell B-U-B-B-L-E!
China a bubble? Na – China is USA in 1890 with the head start in tech.

UPDATE: According to interim superintendent Jim Smith, the Ohio State auditor is expected to release data Monday, Feb. 11, regarding the attendance findings for Winton Woods City Schools and as many as eight other schools that reported errors. The report should identify whether or not the errors directly affected the school's state report card rating.
The following is a press release from Winton Woods City Schools:
"While researching EMIS data to prepare for a routine audit by the Ohio Department of Education (ODE) for the 2012-2013 school year, officials in Winton Woods City Schools discovered some irregularities in the district's data and voluntarily reported them to ODE. This was after ODE had completed their original audit of the district and found it was in compliance with EMIS regulations, but prior to the statewide attendance data probe launched by Ohio Auditor of State Dave Yost.
"When the Auditor's Office later called on districts to self-report any attendance issues, Winton Woods City Schools again disclosed all known findings. In addition, the Board of Education informed the public of the reports to ODE and the Auditor at its November and December Board meetings. As well, Tim Cleary, president of the Winton Woods Board of Education, met in Columbus with Yost to provide two years of student data for review.
"Upon further examination, the Auditor's Office uncovered additional errors in Winton Woods City Schools' EMIS data. Most of the errors appear to be related to confusion about the proper coding of students who were expelled from their respective buildings due to discipline violations and placed in alternative school settings. Other errors were related to date changes to student records which resulted from poor record keeping and a lack of well-defined procedures and reporting systems for chronically absent students. Representatives from Winton Woods City Schools do not believe any of the errors resulted in an inaccurate state report card rating; however, they are waiting for a more formal ruling from ODE on this issue.
"Administrative changes have taken place within the district to assure this cannot happen again. Interim Superintendent Jim Smith, who took office after the start of the original investigation, continues to work with district administrators and the Auditor's Office to identify whether systemic problems exist. He has, at the same time, instituted comprehensive procedural changes to EMIS reporting by district staff members and has introduced technology controls to prevent similar errors in the future.
"Additionally, the Winton Woods Board of Education hired EMIS Supervisor Vernita Kilgore in December to oversee EMIS reporting for the district. Kilgore has a wide array of experience in EMIS reporting from other school districts and is a former auditor for the state."

"We really shouldn't be on tour," Stephan Jenkins – the driving force and voice behind Third Eye Blind – confessed halfway through the bands 75-minute set Monday night at the Brown Theater.
"We SHOULD be in a studio working on our new record," Stephan smiled at the crowd's applause. "But we are taking a few weeks to get a little inspiration… And tonight we are going to play some stuff we haven't played in a long time." And within minutes, Stephan was making good on the claim by belting out an acoustic version of the 2009 deep-cut "Dao of St. Paul," and later by leading the band through the title track from their 2008 Red Star EP.
Third Eye Blind – like many bands defined by a particular decade – have had to make a choice: to be defined by their greatest hits (which often allows a chance to play bigger venues) or to become a fan's band – playing deep cuts and re-working their music for a smaller number of more dedicated listeners.
And it would probably be easier for Third Eye Blind to stick to the hits. Not only are there quite a few recognizable songs to play, the band is down to only two long-time members, making learning back catalog pieces even more difficult than normal. But one gets the sense when watching Stephan Jenkins work the stage that he doesn't like the easy way out.
After 12 songs spanning all four of the bands major releases, plus a full-crowd sing-along of "Jumper" (including a five minute drum solo), the band closed the set by breaking into a completely re-worked version of 2009's "Monotov's Private Opera." The plodding acoustic number became a crowd-pleasing rave-up, accentuated by Stephan swinging glow sticks into the audience from the darkened stage.
"We've had an amazing time tonight," Stephan promised after the band had returned for an encore and slammed through mega-hit "Semi-Charmed Life. " "And we want to play a song we haven't played live in years. " The band finished the evening by proving Stephan's earlier promise with the emotional 1997 deep cut "The Background. "

The Macon County Fair Cake Committee will again be selecting the 2012 "Best Cake in Macon County" at the 59th Annual Macon County Fair. Do you have a special cake recipe that has been handed down thru generations or one that always disappears first at the church suppers? If so, why not enter it in the "Best Cake in Macon County" contest.
Entries will be accepted on Saturday, Sept. 15, between 10 and 11 a.m. at the Macon County Fair pavilion. Entry forms may be found in the fair catalogue or may be filled out when contestants enter the contest that Saturday. Cake judging will begin at 11 a.m. at the pavilion. All entries and recipes become the property of the Macon County Fair. Recipes and photos may be printed in the Macon County Fair Cookbook.
Following the judging, announcement of the "Best Cake in Macon County" and pictures are taken, the entries and recipes will be auctioned off to the highest bidder. All proceeds go to the Macon County Fair. (This contest is separate from the baked products, which are entered on Tuesday and judged on Wednesday.)
Entries should be submitted on a sturdy piece of cardboard which has been covered with foil. The cardboard should extend one inch beyond the cake on all sides. Place the cake in a large, clear food grade bag (turkey roasting bags work well).
An accurate typed or clearly handwritten recipe must be submitted with each cake entry. The recipe must be separate from the cake so that it can be copied.
This contest is open to anyone except for professional bakers, bakery shops or anyone who is paid to bake cakes.
Questions may be directed to Gloria Thun at (828)369-5901.

For a few reasons (main one being work), I haven't had time to go riding the past couple months. I'm getting my hours reduced though, so we're getting back into work.
I read somewhere that I should start slowly with walk work, then trot, etc. But Bliss is a tad high-strung and unless she's being worked regularly, she can be quite a handful. So because of her time off, I'm worried she has a couple months worth of pent-up energy and honestly I'm nervous about getting back on her (and the last few times we've ridden, she's been too nervous/spooky to stand still long enough for me to tack her). Anyways my main point is, I'm going to need to keep her mind busy and I'm not sure walk work will be enough.
So I guess, to summarize, these are my questions:
- How do I keep her focused/calm while at such a slow pace?
- How should I handle it if she won't stand while I tack?
- Will it be okay to lunge her, or is that too hard on her?

|Massive acute pulmonary embolism in protein S deficiency--a case report.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 7944258 Owner: NLM Status: MEDLINE
|A young man with a history of deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolism 11 years ago presented again with acute pulmonary embolism and was treated initially with intravenous heparin at our institution. Five days later he had another massive bout of pulmonary embolism causing hypotension. Pulmonary angiography confirmed the presence of thrombi in both pulmonary arteries, with complete obstruction of the left pulmonary artery. He was treated successfully by emergency pulmonary embolectomy. Blood investigations later confirmed the diagnosis of protein S deficiency and he was started on warfarin therapy for life. Massive pulmonary embolism should be treated aggressively. Thrombolytic therapy accelerates clot lysis, reduces pulmonary pressures, restores pulmonary capillary volume and reverses right heart failure faster than heparin alone. There is also a trend towards decreased mortality with thrombolysis. In the presence of shock, the patient should be resuscitated and if facilities for emergency embolectomy are available, surgery is a viable alternative to thrombolysis, especially if the clot burden is massive. In young patients with recurrent venous thromboembolism in the absence of obvious predisposing factors, it is important to exclude inherited plasma protein deficiencies of protein S, protein C, antithrombin III, plasminogen and fibrinogen.

Pass me the potatoes! Please….
Pass me the potatoes! Please….
Despite what you may have heard, potatoes represent good nutritional value for your money and merit some space on your plate! Like the avocado and banana, the potato is often maligned AND it doesn't deserve to be.
New potatoes are fresh, natural and versatile, plus you know the whole family will enjoy them. Let's face it – they taste far better than flavourless processed white rice or unappealing slippery pasta shapes. Nutritionally speaking, they punch above their weight too. They are a gluten-free coeliac's dream and a better source of vitamin C, potassium and fibre than either brown rice or pasta.
In fact 150g of new potatoes provides about 24mg (out of our RDA of 60mg) of vitamin C, a powerful antioxidant which helps to stabilise or eliminate free radicals, which in turn helps to prevent cellular damage. Vitamin C is also important for collagen production, and wound healing. Finally, vitamin C assists the absorption of iron and may help support the body's immune system. Although potatoes don't have anywhere near the vitamin C levels found in citrus fruits and peppers, they do contribute significantly to our daily vitamin C needs.
They contain as much or more potassium (620 mg) than bananas, spinach, or broccoli (important for a healthy blood pressure). Research suggests that diets rich in potassium and low in sodium seem to reduce the risk of hypertension and stroke.
Interestingly if you want to feel full on less food, 150g of new potatoes contributes over two grams of fibre per day. Dietary fibre is part of the plant material that cannot be digested and absorbed in the bloodstream. It has numerous health benefits, including helping to regulate our blood sugar levels, and increasing satiety which may help with weight loss. In moderation potatoes can be part of a weight loss plan.
And another thing – potatoes is a natural source of resistant starch. This starch is 'resistant' to enzymatic digestion in the small intestine. It is fermented instead in the large intestine. So it's really more like a prebiotic fibre in that it can help stimulate the growth of beneficial bacteria in the colon. Resistant starch may protect colon cells and is linked in many scientific papers to less genetic cell damage (which can lead to cancer).
Lastly new potatoes contain trace amounts of thiamin, riboflavin, folate, magnesium, phosphorous, iron, and zinc — all for only 99 calories in a medium serving and little or no fat.
New potatoes fill you up, not out! Potatoes are power on the plate. Rich in starchy carbohydrate, potatoes are a fantastic fuel for our bodies. Unadulterated and unprocessed, they are probably the best source of starchy energy in our diets. In a world where many carbohydrates are so processed that they are devoid of essential nutrients, the potato stands head and shoulders above the rest.

A Meal Observed
by Andrew Todhunter
No current Talk conversations about this book.
Here's an interesting idea for a book: Go to an exclusive French restaurant, indulge in a long and pricey meal, and then write about it. That's it. That's this book. It is a course by course description of a single meal. Todhunter tells about the food and the service and the restaurant and the chefs and wanders around here and there into all sorts of fascinating tangentially related topics. A fun quick read.
A meditation on food and on the art of cooking. Todhunter describes a meal at a top-rated Parisian restaurant course by course, interspersed with his observations from working in the restaurant's kitchen.
References to this work on external resources.
Wikipedia in English (1)
Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0375410856, Hardcover)In this seductive account of a long, luxurious dinner at the venerable Paris restaurant Taillevent, Andrew Todhunter is both the American abroad sharing a rare gastronomic adventure with his wife and the apprentice-cum-reporter who has spent several months working in the restaurant's celebrated kitchen, learning what goes on behind the scenes. As Todhunter describes it, Taillevent's highly orchestrated kitchen is "less an atelier than a gun deck on a ship of war, a place of shouts and fire."
On the other side of the kitchen's double doors, in the warm light of the nineteenth-century dining room, the American couple surrenders to the sensual pleasure of a beautifully wrought and meticulously served dinner—from the amuse-bouche (a warm cheese puff to "amuse the mouth") and the crème de cresson soup, with its sunken treasure of lobster tomalley, to the crowning glory of the fantaisie. In the spirit of A.J. Liebling's Between Meals, Todhunter layers mouthwatering descriptions of French dishes and their preparation with reflections on his American childhood (when food, like sex and money, was not to be discussed at the table), dips into culinary history and philosophy, and entertains with asides on everything from olive oil and chestnuts to the science of viniculture and the chemistry of chocolate. Between courses, Todhunter brings us back to the sanctum of the kitchen itself, where he has probing conversations with chef de cuisine Philippe Legendre and pastry chef Gilles Bajolle, both major figures in the French culinary pantheon, and their assistants. Through these great chefs and their impeccably trained brigade we gain a unique glimpse into the heart of French cuisine and the love of fine food. Is cooking more an art, a craft, or a science? Are great chefs born or made? Why are there so few women chefs in France? What is the greatest danger for a chef at the top of his game? How is a new dish developed? What is the future of haute cuisine in France and in the world at large? When we cook for others, for love or for money, what do we give of ourselves?
As richly satisfying as the five-hour meal it describes, A Meal Observed is a delightful paean to the French and French cuisine, and to the universal love of the table. Bon appétit!

Dallas, TX (SportsNetwork.com) - LaMarcus Aldridge scored 30 points and pulled down 12 rebounds to lead the Portland Trail Blazers to a 127-111 drubbing of the Dallas Mavericks on Saturday.

Batum and Aldridge combined for the next 11 points of the flurry with six and five, respectively. Devin Harris hit a shot at the buzzer to make it a 12-point game heading into the second.
The Blazers kept their foot on the gas in the second, and Thomas Robinson made it 46-28 with his slam at the 8:42 mark. The Mavs were able to get within eight, 54-46, with 3:38 remaining in the first half, but Portland outscored Dallas 17-6 the rest of the way to go into the break with a commanding 71-52 lead.
The Blazers led 104-70 following the third quarter and their lead swelled to 38 early in the fourth en route to the blow out win.

POSTED: 1:30 a.m. HST, Sep 16, 2010
It's called the primary election, even though usually it's viewed as secondary to the general election, when most final decisions about filling political positions are made.
This election is different. Thanks to the churn produced by City Council term limits and the political ambition of incumbents seeking higher office, voters will issue some important final verdicts on Saturday.
THE STAR-ADVERTISER ENDORSES:» Mufi Hannemann and James "Duke" Aiona, in the Democratic and Republican primary races for governor.
» Brian Schatz and Lynn Finnegan, in the Democratic and Republican primary races for lieutenant governor.
» Kirk Caldwell, Honolulu mayor.
» Don Pacarro, city prosecutor.
» John White (District 2), Rich Turbin (District 4) and Frank Lavoie (District 6), Honolulu City Council.
And even in the actual primaries, which are only the semifinals, the Democratic gubernatorial showdown between Hannemann and former U.S. Rep. Neil Abercrombie is the biggest political blockbuster in years. The lieutenant governor's spot is generating unusual excitement, enticing a wide field of incumbents to sacrifice safe seats to vie for the No. 2 spot.
How can anyone miss the chance to be part of this action?
Those who have been dismayed by this state's paltry turnout at the polls in recent years can draw some encouragement from reports that requests for absentee ballots have surged by 24 percent. Perhaps an exciting race or two can overcome the characteristic Hawaii voter malaise, after all.
Hawaii is conducting the nation's final full primary election (Louisiana has a congressional runoff set for Oct. 2), half-time in a game pumped up by tea-party fervor, political upsets and incumbent turnover. After this weekend, the stage will be set for a barn-burner of a general election in which control of Congress is up for grabs.
The political landscape in the islands is distinct, but the stakes are just as high. The state faces enormous budgetary land mines to navigate, educational reforms to execute, a long-range future to plan. The city is about to embark on colossal public-works programs: the rail project and the overhaul of the city's sewage system topping the list.
Choosing the right leaders to set the course is critical. In the past weeks the Star-Advertiser has made its recommendations in key races, choices that we recap here. Endorsements are important expressions of a newspaper's editorial view; making them is a duty that we undertake with the utmost care.
But while newspapers have a voice, only the people have the vote. It's the key that unlocks a healthy democracy. Saturday brings another chance to use it.

Canadian Forces 431 Air Demonstration Squadron
The Snowbirds are a Canadian Military Formation Aerobatics Team originally known as the Canadian Forces Air Demonstration Team. Formed in 1971, the Snowbirds are now known as the Canadian Forces 431 Air Demonstration Squadron operated from Canadian Forces Base (CFB) Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan.
Red, White and Blue
The Snowbirds are easily recognized by their distinctive Red, White and Blue paint scheme. The Blue "Snowbirds" signature line with accompanying blue stripe separates the primarily white top side of the Tutor Jet from the red bottom side of the aircraft. The red bottom of the Snowbird Jet also includes the large white silhouette of the Snowbird Jet Logo prominently emblazoned for everyone to see as they fly overhead.

Canadair CT-114 Tutor
The Snowbird Tutor Jet is a two seat, jet-powered aircraft introduced in the early 1960's. Built by Canadair, the Tutor Jet is commonly known as the CT-114 Tutor. (Canadair Model Number CL-41, or CL-41A) With a max gross take-off weight of 9,000 lbs, the Tutor Jet performs very well as a trainer. It has a service ceiling of 41,000 feet and a max speed of 412 knots. Typical cruise speed would be about 310 knots, and the Tutor Jet has a range of approximately 580 nautical miles.
Tutor Jet Cockpit
The Snowbird Tutor Jet Cockpit is awesome. The cockpit uses the standard "Steam Gauges" that were typical when the jet was designed and built over 50 years ago. Unlike the newer "Glass Cockpits", the Tutor Jet relies on the traditional round gauges popular with aviators for many years.
Perfect T Flight Instruments
The primary flight gauges are arranged using the popular "Perfect T" formation that has been used in cockpits since the 1950's.
The Attitude Indicator (AI) is located at the Top Centre. To the left of the Attitude Indicator, you will find the Air Speed Indicator, and the Altimeter is located to the right of the AI. Directly below the Attitude Indicator is the Heading Indicator (HI). These four primary instruments make a "Perfect T" formation.
The other two primary flight instruments, comprising the standard Six Pack of Flight Instruments, are located in the second row, to create the standard 6-pack formation of gauges. The Turn Coordinator (and Slip Indicator) is located directly to the left of the Heading Indicator, and the Vertical Speed Indicator (VSI) is located to the right of the HI. The Snowbird Tutor Jet also includes a Machmeter to demonstrate how fast the jet is flying in relation to the Speed of Sound.
Snowbird Tutor Jet
g Limits
The Snowbird Tutor Jet is rated for plus 7.33g and minus 3g. These Acceleration Units, or g's represent the range of G-Forces the aircraft can safely handle. 1g represents the standard gravitational force we experience in our atmosphere while at rest.
A positive g-force of plus 7g would feel like our body weight was seven times what we normally experience. The Tutor Jet has an Accelerometer (or G-Meter) mounted at the front of the cockpit above the instrument panel dash.
The Accelerometer helps the pilot to monitor the g-Forces being exerted on the jet and pilot during flight. This is especially important during aerobatic performances. Unlike CF-18 Hornet Pilots, the Snowbird Pilots do not wear a g-suit to help them handle the g-forces experienced during their air show performances.
The Snowbird Jet Pilot uses the Throttle and Stick for controlling the aircraft throughout the flight. The abbreviation 'HOTAS' stands for "Hands On Throttle And Stick", and by design the Throttle and Stick contain most of the buttons, switches and controls used throughout the flight. HOTAS design enables the Pilot to keep his "Hands On The Throttle And Stick" for most of his/her time in the cockpit. This helps the pilot to be continuously ready and engaged with the flight controls without interruption.
General Electric J85 Jet Engine
The Canadair CT-114 Tutor is powered by a single General Electric (GE) J85 CAN 40 Jet Engine. The GE J85 is a Two-Stage turbine with single-spool eight-stage, axial flow compressor.
The General Electric J85 Jet Engine produces approximately 3,000 lbs of thrust, and if equipped with afterburners, the engine can produce as much as 5,000 lbs of thrust.
Air Start
Located on the top of the throttle is the "Air Start" button allowing the pilot to "re-light" the engine by activating igniters. Raw fuel is then thrown onto the igniters to hopefully re-start the engine in the case of an emergency. Hopefully, the pilot will not need to use the Air Start Switch, but it's an important back-up to have.
Nine Lines of Smoke
At the rear of the engine, the Snowbird Jet has two nozzles mounted directly in the path of the hot exhaust. These nozzles are used to spray pressurized diesel fuel into the hot exhaust instantly creating a highly visible path of white smoke. When flying in formation, the 9 Snowbird Jets create nine lines of smoke that can be seen for miles across the blue sky.
CF-18 Hornet vs. the Snowbirds
The CF-18 Hornet Jet may have more thrust, than all nine Snowbirds combined, but the Snowbirds have nine lines of smoke! The highly skilled pilots of the Canadian Forces are proud to fly either the CF-18 Hornet Jet, or the Snowbird Tutor Jet. But, only the Snowbirds have smoke!
Rudder Authority
The Snowbird Tutor Jet is an awesome training jet. The aircraft has incredible Rudder Authority with the large empennage and especially large rudder. During aerobatic performances, the pilots rely on the excellent rudder authority to maintain precision flight in tight formation with the rest of the Snowbirds.
Speed Brakes
The Snowbird Tutor Jet also has two very large Speed Brakes that extend from the sides of the rear fuselage. These speed brakes are deployed frequently during the Snowbirds Air Show performances to slow down the jets, and they are very effective. The Speed Brakes are engaged using the switch on the top of the throttle.
Watch the Speed Brakes Deploy in the Snowbirds Video as the team prepares to return to Toronto Pearson International Airport (YYZ) for a landing after they had performed a "Fly-By" formation flight along the length of Runway 23 at YYZ.
Thank-You Snowbirds!
The Canadian Forces Snowbirds are a highly respected and Iconic symbol representing all of Canada. Thanks to the Canadian Forces 431 Air Demonstration Squadron for their hard work, dedication and contribution to Canada. And, a special thanks to Captain Brett Parker, Snowbird 5, Second Line Astern. Thank-you Captain Parker for showing us what it's like to fly a Snowbird Tutor Jet!
Thumb Up for the Snowbirds and Captain Brett Parker!

A New Season Begins
Hey everybody! Well, I'm running around New York City like a chicken with its head cut off getting ready for our opening show.
As I have said, we're taking the Dr. Phil show to the streets this year — taking it directly to you viewers, where you live physically and emotionally. Today alone, I've been talking to people at a hot dog stand next to Madison Square Garden, at the Empire State Building, at Sylvia's soul food restaurant, even on an Amtrak train, which took me and my crew to Philadelphia and back.
I have to tell you, it feels so good and so right to be talking with people in the real world, because that's where I come from. Talking to people on the train for example, hardworking people headed in to work, and talking about their challenges — the spirit is amazing, and the sense of humor! HA! I love these people. New Yorkers are hilarious and some do pretty good Dr. Phil impressions!
It's My First Day of School
One thing I've noticed about life is that it moves to a rhythm. There's a rhythm to the change of the seasons, the time for vacations, the annual rituals of your family with birthdays and such. And for all of us, there was a rhythm with the beginning and ending of the school year.
When I was a kid, I couldn't wait for the end of school — to go rushing out that school door like in the movie Grease, to spend three glorious months sleeping late, hanging at the community pool and having fun. Even the summer job didn't dampen the spirit because we didn't have to study and sit still! But by the end of the summer, I was always getting bored with my "freedom" and secretly wanted to get back to school, and friends, and football and all the activities that went with it. Cracking the the books would be endured in exchange for the good parts! (more…)

The "Ice Age" movie series is being turned into a traveling children's exhibit, which will make its debut May 10 at the Mall of America in Bloomington.
"Camp Ice Age" promises to feature interactive exhibits based on the four popular movies, including a re-creation of Captain Gutt's ice ship, Ice Age-themed games, walk-through exhibits and Scrat, the acorn-loving squirrel. It will cost $12 for children ages 4-14 and $5 for adults.
"This is the first ever exhibit-type thing that we've brought here to the mall connected with a movie," Mall of America spokeswoman Sarah Schmidt said Thursday, April 25.
The 10,000-square-foot exhibit will open on the mall's fourth floor, which previously held the Princess Diana exhibit and "Bodies: The Exhibition."
Camp Ice Age will be open for five months, then depart for other venues. The Mall of America is its first stop.
The Camp Ice Age exhibit will be created by Global Experience Specialists, which is partnering with Twentieth Century Fox Consumer Products.
"GES, the company that's bringing this here, was the one that created the Harry Potter exhibit that was touring, based on the movies and the books," Schmidt said. "It was highly successful."

I want to make it very plain that I am as saddened by the killings in Newtown, Conn., as any other Americans who are aware of the mass shootings of innocent children and adults by a mentally disturbed young man.
The calls for a "national conversation on gun violence," a code expression by gun control advocates, aim to use the public's anguish over the shootings at Newtown as a springboard to making all law-abiding citizens who own guns give them up. They never tell you that the criminals, deviates, sociopaths, and mentally ill among us who currently possess guns and ammunition will retain their arsenals.
For professional politicians who can't rest until their control-freak impulses have reached every conceivable area of independent human activity, it doesn't matter whether what they do is effective or even makes any logical sense. The important thing is that they do something, and then get the harvest they desire -- the ability to tell us all that they did something.
I'd like to divert attention away from the Newtown tragedy to a "discussion" of two other large areas of violence going on unabated in our country.
The first is the annual slaughter on our nation's highways -- in 2011 the total killed was 32,000. (For perspective, during the three years we were fighting the Korean War we had 37,000 soldiers killed in action.)
There's no excuse -- none -- for killing 32,000 of our fellow citizens in car collisions. (They're not "accidents"; accidents are unforeseeable and unavoidable mishaps, such as when an airliner flies into a flock of geese and crashes because of disabled engines.
I spent a summer of my life giving behind-the-wheel driving instruction to about 120 16-year-olds. They got a glimpse into the reckless and life-endangering habits and behavior of the majority of drivers. (We're talking about speeding; tailgating, cutting drivers off who try to change lanes to pass or to move to an exit ramp. There are other driving crimes, but this is a good sampler.) It ought to be a felony to drive in this manner.
Lest I be accused of being political, let's face it -- the slaughter on the highways is ignored by gutless politicians of both major parties, and that includes our self-proclaimed "audacious" president who is audacious when giving a speech at a community college or some other venue he finds copacetic. I once wrote to (then) Gov. Tim Pawlenty about the slaughter on our highways. He thanked me and said he'd referred my letter to the Minnesota Department of Public Safety. Five years later, I'm still waiting for the follow-up. Gutlessness is bipartisan.
I recommended that Gov. Pawlenty consider putting teeth in our traffic laws by increasing the fines for speeding (just one example) to $1,000 for the first offense, a one-year suspension of driving privileges for the second, and permanent forfeiture of driving privileges for the third. These penalties are severe, but they would get the attention of even the most irresponsible of those with whom we share our highways. The idea is to eliminate speeding -- not to stroke someone's forehead with a feather when they get caught.
If we had the will to make our highways safe, they would be. When the domestic terrorists take to the highways, they behave as if they are addicted to their own adrenalin while bulldozing safe drivers out of their way.
Another horrific category of violence we tolerate, even "support" because we have anesthetized our consciences against the violence by referring to the national slaughter of our unborn as "choice." Indeed. There is no "choice" in the matter for the unborn; although I have heard some feminists refer vaguely to a baby's "right to be wanted." You have to lean into the wind a bit to grasp that concept.
You have groups forming and demonstrating over the "right to work" and also the "right to unionize" but there are no groups stumping for the "right to be wanted" because, last time anyone checked, all the potential members/protesters were, as the British say, "quite dead."
Let's digress to the pending national conversation about "gun violence." Can anyone explain why we're not including in this discussion the negative influence of movies and video games that portray mind-numbing scenes, wave after wave of them, of unspeakable violence, cruelty and sadism that in previous generations would have been unavailable? Our kids have been anesthetized to the pain and suffering of killing and maiming other human beings. They watch these horrors and eat their popcorn or snap their gum the way more people in saner times used to watch Bugs Bunny cartoons or Peanuts.
Follow the money trail to the politicians to learn more about why people like Mr. Obama are willing to pummel the American conscience about "gun violence" but not talk about the immoral cesspool we now call "entertainment." Hey, embarrassing our campaign donors simply will not do.
Now that we're all quite ready, let's have that national conversation on "gun violence," as long as we include what to do about our "domestic terrorist" problem, including our annual Korean War on the highways and what to call it when we dispose of little ones denied their "right to be wanted."

<< Back to Stomachaches
I threw-up all of the time. My stomach always hurt. I cried easily. My head hurt often. I was irritable. I had difficulty concentrating. I was considered a 'fragile' girl.
When I was 5 years old, my Mother who is a kind, soft-spoken, gentle woman - was taken aside by my pediatrician and told that my problems were because of her, that she was creating my anxiety, and that she needed to be a better parent. My Mother sobbed all the way home while I cried too knowing that my parents had nothing to do with it - and wondering what was really wrong with me.
I always felt a little better when I woke up first thing in the morning, but then right after I ate the wholesome breakfast my Dad always made my brother and I before going to school the stomach pain would return. Breakfast; of course, always involved either wheat infested pancakes, toast and/or cereal.
I threw up a lot.
It's sad, but I had no other choice but to deal with it. Every doctor I saw before age 15 said my problems were either viral, bacterial or anxiety related. Those were the three constant diagnoses. I was sick all of the time, and comments were made about it around me. Surprisingly, it made me dig my heels in and just work harder.
At age 15 I had been to one particular doctor enough that she decided to probe further. I had a full body CT scan, a lovely barium enema with x-rays, and some sort of nuclear scan as I recall. I also had numerous jabs to the arm for blood tests. All negative. I then went through the joy of having an endoscope rammed down my throat, through my stomach and into my intestines to discover I had a peptic ulcer. Yippee, I thought, the diagnosis I had been waiting for. This was it; I would now begin a road to recovery I thought. I was prescribed Zantac and took it for years thereafter. I endured a yearly endoscope to ensure the ulcer was gone.
In high school I took up running as a sport. During my sophomore year I was running in a Cross Country race (3.2 miles). During most of the race I was in second place but was fast approaching the first place runner. At the 2-mile mark I caught her and passed her and within the next few feet I actually heard a snap and extreme pain followed in my lower leg. My adrenaline was surging so high I just kept running. I was running and limping. My coach was screaming at me to drop out and even tried to run alongside me and lunge forward to pull me out. I kept dodging his reach knowing if he touched me I would be disqualified. I won that race. And later learned I had run the last mile with a broken leg. Not particularly common - a stress facture in a 15 year old. But now it makes perfect sense - In my opinion I'm certain I had severe calcium deficiency due to the malabsorption resulting from Celiac.
I had terrible insomnia. I even wrote a lengthy research paper on insomnia my senior year of high school in my search for answers to my problems. I remember my English teacher asking why I wanted to write about insomnia and looking perplexed when I told her that I was up all night, every night. I was tired all of the time.
During my freshman year in college I was doubled over in pain and could barely get myself to the student urgent care facility. I remember that pain vividly - it felt as though I had a raging fire in my stomach. The doctor couldn't find anything wrong with me, but I was in such obvious physical distress he had to attribute it to something. Ovarian cyst the doctor decided.
I had headaches all of the time and at age 22 I had a cat scan performed on my head to look for a brain tumor. It was negative. I then went to a doctor who classified me with mild migraines and gave me a nerve block. In non-medical terms it's when a large needle is inserted onto or near the nerves and injected with a medication. My entire face and head went numb and I was in sheer panic. It was awful. And the headache returned as soon as I could feel again.
Did I mention I threw up a lot?
I was going through a bottle of Tylenol every couple of weeks for headaches and an industrial sized bottle of antacids per week for stomach upset. I would choke down an occasional sleeping pill at points of desperation for my insomnia.
In my mid 20's I fell so ill at one point I had to take 3 weeks off from work because I physically could not get out of bed. My roommate was afraid I had meningitis and dragged me to the doctor's office. Viral, the physician said. Ya, it's typical for an active 20 something to have the 'flu' for 3 weeks. I remember lying on the floor in my bedroom staring up at the ceiling wondering, "What is wrong with me? Is this what dying feels like? Why is my body in constant turmoil? What is amiss and why can't anyone help me?"
My pregnancies were extremely challenging, to put it lightly. I threw up several times a day for the entire 9 months - both times. "Morning sickness," the obstetrician said. "Just eat some crackers, a dinner roll, or a sandwich - that should help". Amazing I survived; I now understand that I was precipitating the problem by eating toxin ridden food.
My last trip to the doctor was a few weeks before my diagnosis. I landed in the Emergency Room for debilitating stomach pain. The ER physician said I had an ulcer. My primary care physician, after ruling out an abdominal tumor, said my gallbladder was inflamed. I was given a myriad of medications - none of which made me feel an ounce better. Three weeks later my two children were diagnosed with Celiac Disease ~ which is a harrowing story in itself. I too was tested only because it's genetic - not because the doctor thought I had it. I have Celiac Disease. And now we know my father, my brother, and three cousins do too.
Myself and my two beautiful daughters have been on a gluten free diet for over 3 years now. It's a challenge, but worth it. And by the grace of God, I don't take any medication at all and my:
Headaches - gone.
Insomnia - gone. I had never slept an entire night without waking until age 33.
Anxiety - gone.
Irritability - gone (although my husband's answer may be different).
Stomach pain - gone.
I don't throw up anymore.

Too often, our kids become adults, but we still relate to them as kids, and they fall into that role when with us.
We don't grow in our relationship, don't see the good changes we'd see in a friend or accept that it's OK for them to be different from us.
My Southern Boy - the younger of my two kids - and I have related in that stagnant way. Add in that we're alike in some ways but very different in others, with very different experiences, and we've clashed at times.
His last-minute decision to visit the day after Thanksgiving was an example of how our different outlooks and old roles could make us bump heads. But this time, they didn't.
My son views last-minute plans and a lot of changes as being flexible, adventurous. I like the security of planning to the last detail.
I asked when he'd arrive, should I cook for him and his friends, if and when he'd need a ride anywhere. In other words: what to expect.
And, I'd jumped into my parent role, worrying and wanting to provide for my "kid." Old habits die hard, after all.
My anxiety grew as his plans stayed loose. Finally, he said: Don't worry. I'm handling it.
This was oddly freeing. I shrugged and let go of responsibility for his visit. It wasn't mine anyway, as my blond-haired "boy" is 41 and has been on his own since 18.
The night after Thanksgiving, he arrived. The next day, I was the one unsure of our plans.
Should he go with me to my friend Anne's 70th birthday party? Should I drop him off to visit our friends Andrea and Lou?
He teased me, mimicking my complaints about his planning. Cut it out! I growled, and he hugged me.
My organized approach drives him crazy, but his go-with-the-flow approach makes me nuts, we agreed, laughing.
On Sunday, I drove him to the station to catch a train to New York to meet a friend. They were staying overnight with her family and flying home on Monday.
I drove home, thinking: We'd interacted as caring adults instead of mom and child, and in doing so, I'd met a funny, positive, even wise man.
