they couldnt make most VC games online anways they only own the nintendo brand ones and have rights to use the others.. not change them... the whole idea of VC is retro gaming... wii brings old gamers back with new gameplay and a library of old favorites... thats why they sell like crazy mom and dad are now playing with the kids... and dont leave out grandma and grandpa...
but the online deal is a bit of a drag they had online in the works forever they should have never launched without it... but based on there first timeline they were early anyways just to keep up with ps3 and 360.. you dont want to get left behind... and aparently it worked they are outselling them both everymonth now worldwide...
they will get to it, sad news is i think they are more concerned about pumping out systems then improving them right now... there are more than a few people are nintendo pulling double shifts just try to do what they can with what they have... with the demand they are streched thin im sure... its been 2 decades sence nintendo was the leader... they arnt use to it...

So your telling me you would not plya Mario Kart online??? I bet money that if they did have Mario Kart 64 with online everyone that could get on the VC would get it. I would add hours of Game play not including playing with friends. Also if 007 ever comes out on the VC you cant them me it owuld be a bad online game.Originally Posted by MasterJedi2U

I wasn't trying to say that every VC game should be online. I just think that some would be very successful like mario kart, bond, ssb...etc. At the same time it would give nintendo feedback on online traffic patterns and problems that need to be addressed before putting Wii games online. I for one grew up with the NES and love the fact that I can now play old school games. However, I have no problem with adding something new to them while at the same time keeping the traditional one player roles in these games alive.
PM Me for Codes: SSBB, MK, MoH, CoD
Look if it came out online I'd use it because its THERE? However just because something is there doesn't make it right. I'm sorry but it was NOT an Online Game. It should NOT be online now. Period. That completely defeats the purpose in my mind of the Virtual Console being a sort of nostalgic reminder of the Golden Days of Gaming.Originally Posted by JerrodDRagon
^Video games dont have to be right, Its all about having fun and online adds on to any multiplayer game Mario Kart and 007 are made perfectly for online and like you said you would play it and so would everyone else and they can say its not right but they'll still play it and will be having fun.

Why shouldn't VC games have a few new features? Games like Mario Kart and Street Fighter 2 are practically designed for multiplayer, and thinking about it it doesn't really make a difference if those players happen to be hundreds of miles away from each other. I think online play for the old classics would be fantastic, and if you believe in that "stick to the spirit of the original" crap, then simply don't use the online feature. Oh, and while we're on the subject of online gaming, Nintendo should ditch the friend codes and follow Microsoft's lead (i.e. don't treat everyone like kids).
And I fully agree Ninty should get a move on with indie games. Xbox Live Arcade is all the proof that's needed that these games can hold their own, so what are they waiting for? The Wii is an ideal platform for such games with its innovative controller.
I never add friend codes.

You honestly think nintendo would make new gamers hustle for other peoples friend code just to use the online play? IF you did, your a sad person. no lies
Perhaps you should close your mouth before you talk. I know how friend codes work, my complaint was that the system is annoying and childish. Xbox Live manages to work just fine without friend codes, why not the Wii?Originally Posted by hotpotato78

A Cumberland County firefighter rescued his neighbor Thursday night from her burning home.
Lower Allen Township police said the woman had to be coaxed out of the home because she was concerned about leaving her nine cats behind.

Police said five of the cats were rescued and four died from smoke inhalation.
Investigators said they think the fire started in a second-floor bedroom.

Thirty-eight years on from the terrorist attack at Ben Gurion International airport in Israel – known at the time as the Lod Airport massacre - North Korea was finally fined nearly £200 million for supporting terrorists in an attack that killed 26 people.
The US Federal Court found North Korea guilty of aiding the terrorist's mission and of giving them material support.
The attack, which saw three Japanese terrorists throw hand grenades and shoot relentlessly and mercilessly at passengers, injured a further 80 people. It also led to increased political tension between Israel and Japan.
Two of the shooters were killed in the attack, with only one - Kozo Okamoto -surviving. All three were later identified as members of the far left terrorist organisation Japanese Red Army, linked to the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine.
Okamoto was later sentenced to life in jail after a court hearing. However, in 1985 he was released as part of a prisoner exchange for Israeli soldiers captured during the Lebanon war.
Among the 26 people killed as a result of the attack were 16 Puerto Rican Christian pilgrims, many of whose family members filed a lawsuit against North Korea.
What the JC said: "An Israeli spokesman this week revealed some of the findings of the preliminary investigation of Kozo Okamoto, the Japanese gunman captured after last week's massacre at Lydda airport, in which 24 civilians were killed and 78 wounded. Thirty-six of the wounded were still in hospital on Wednesday, two with severe injuries. The two other Japanese gunmen were killed, one by his own grenade, the other by his comrades' cross-fire."

Dimassi's Austin
Almost a month ago, Hubby, Abby and I had the chance to check out a mediterranean buffet place, Dimassi's. It's been a while since Hubby and I had honest to goodness mediterranean fare. Come to think of it, we never even got to try Meditteranean Cafe back home. We thought it was about time we took a mediterranean food trip.
It was quite a learning experience for us – unfamiliar food names and unfamiliar tastes. I wanted so much to try as much of the food as I possibly can so I have more to share with you. But there's only so much food I can handle at a given time. Hee hee.
My first plate had the following…
Tandoori Chicken
Makluba – rice, chicken, potatoes, corn, flower and eggplant with sprinkled nuts.
Biryani and Baked Tilapia
Biryani, according to Wikipedia "is from a family of primarily South Asian rice dishes made with spices, rice (usually basmati) and meat/vegetables. The spices and condiments used in biryani may include but are not limited to: cloves, cardamom, cinnamon, bay leaves, coriander and mint leaves, apart from ghee, ginger, onions, garlic and yoghurt. The premium varieties include saffron."
The tilapia was baked in lemon, pepper, sauce, veggies and spices.
Before I move on to my second plate, let me just say that I didn't eat all the rice…just in case you're concerned that there was way too much carbs on my first plate. Haha.
Grilled Chicken
Chicken Kabob – chicken marinated with oregano, green pepper, tomatoes, and onion and salt
Kafta Kabob – a grilled mixture of ground beef, parsely, onion, garlic, pepper and salt
Falafel – a ball of chick peas, parsley, cilantro, onions, all spices.
Soft Pita Bread and Manquish (hard pita bread)
Hommus – roasted chick peas mixed with tahini suce, garlic, lemon juice, served with olive oil.
My daughter loved the soft pita and the Homuus! I'm glad she's very open to new tastes. I definitely have a future foodie in the person of my 4-year old daughter. ;)
For dessert, I especially loved the Rice Pudding…
It is made with rice, milk, rose water, orange water and pistacchio. I tell you, it did taste flowery…like a mild perfume! Haha! This dessert didn't quite appeal to my husband. But it scored major points from Abby and me. ;)
The rest of desserts were pastries, which were too sweet…
Semolina Cake (made with semlina flour, sugar and yogurt)
Baklava (made with filo, walnuts, sugar and flour)
Jam Cookie
We've been to enough buffet places here in Texas to know that when it comes to interiors and ambiance, we shouldn't set too high a standard. That's not to say that buffet places here are just plain hideous. They are just, well, lacking…in more ways than one. Some exert a little more effort than the others though, to come up with a more pleasant dining environment. It can't be said, however, that Dimassi's is one of those that exerted that extra effort.
Dimassi's dining area had a cafeteria-ish feel to it, what with the fluorescent lighting and the not so attractive chairs and tables. It is easy to forgive restaurants for these little things if the food is good enough to make you forget. And for a buffet price of $12.00 per head including drinks, one can't really complain about floor tiles, wall decors and furniture. Oh, our 4-year old ate for free by the way!
If you tend to go for food that are visually appealing when choosing which food lands on your plate, then you probably won't be able to make the most out of your $12. In fact, there were teen-aged kids who couldn't behave themselves and were making fun of the food and how they looked right there at the buffet line! Food presentation just isn't one of Dimassi's stronger points.
Vegetarians will love Dimassi's because they offer quite a number of vegetarian dishes.
It may be a while before we go back to Dimassi's. We simply don't crave meditteranean food as often as we do Asian food, Japanese most specially. :D

The Internet? "Think of a television you can talk back to, with unlimited channels and countless new programs being added every day," says PEOPLE staff writer Kyle Smith. "That's what you're dealing with." Which is why, on Jan. 17, we started our weekly Online column (page 25), edited by Smith and written by Samantha Miller. With an estimated 100 million Americans—half of them women—now wired to the Web, says Smith, a Yale grad and Gulf War vet, "everyone can use help sifting through the clutter, and that's what we're trying to do."
Online scours the dot.community for click-worthy Web pages, polls stars about their favorite sites, profiles Internet innovators and previews what's hot on the auction block (the now-famous Pets.com sock puppet recently sold for an astounding $20,100).
Our Online page can also help if you haven't been to charm school. Staff writer Miller, who majored in molecular biology at Princeton, answers questions about computer etiquette in the weekly Internet Manners section (e-mail your queries to email@example.com). "Asking someone out on a date via e-mail is fine," says Miller. Sending a formal thank-you that way, however, is not. Nor should you use the Web to avoid difficult emotional encounters. "Breaking up with somebody via e-mail," says Miller, "is tacky and unwise." As for sneaking a peek at your partner's electronic mail—even if she or he has left the room and her or his computer is turned on and just sitting there—sorry, says Samantha, it's not polite.
The only Online kink so far has been the queries Miller gets about place settings, gift giving and bridal bouquets. "I'm as clueless in those areas as they are," she admits. "I just focus on computer etiquette. I don't know a finger bowl from the Rose Bowl."
In other words, Miller's area of expertise and the Online column's subject are one and the same: nothing but Net.

• Massive nonmechanical bleeding following severe liver injury is a difficult problem. Placement of intra-abdominal packs tamponades this nonmechanical bleeding and allows time for correction of various metabolic disturbances (ie, hypothermia, hypotension, acidosis, and coagulopathy). The purpose of this retrospective study was to evaluate the severity of these metabolic disturbances at the time of pack placement and the sequential improvement. It was found that most life-threatening disturbances that developed during the initial operative procedure could be corrected within 18 hours after pack placement and aggressive resuscitation. We concluded that the onset of nonmechanical bleeding and a coagulopathy marks a grave prognosis for the patient, and consideration should be given at this time for pack placement. Patients can then be aggressively resuscitated and returned to the operating room within 24 hours for pack removal if stability is achieved.

Amarillo will host a free statewide business exposition this week aimed at helping minority- and women-owned businesses lure in state contracts.
The Statewide Historically Underutilized Business Program's 2009 Procurement Connection Seminar and Expo will be Tuesday and Wednesday at the Amarillo Civic Center. Events are scheduled from 9:30 a.m. to 6 p.m. Tuesday. The event will wrap up with breakout sessions for vendors and state purchases and other seminars scheduled from 9:15 a.m. to 4 p.m.
A Historically Underutilized Business:
Is at least 51 percent owned by an ethnic minority or a woman.
is an entity with its principal place of business in Texas.
has an owner residing in Texas with a proportionate interest who actively participates in the control, operations and management of the entity's affairs.
The event, hosted by the state Comptroller of Public Affairs, the Panhandle Regional Planning Commission and Texas Tech University, isn't just for minority- or woman-owned companies, said Edmond Esparza, coordinator of PRPC's contract procurement center.
"This expo is really geared for pretty much everybody, all types of businesses that want to provide products and services to the state of Texas," he said. "It's a good program."
R.J. DeSilva, a spokesman for Texas Comptroller Susan Combs' office, said the seminar offers vendors the opportunity to learn more about obtaining state contracts and how to become certified in the state HUB program.
"There may be women- and minority-owned businesses that are not certified," he said. "This gives them a chance to learn about the process to become HUB certified. They can get certified on the spot if they have the proper documentation."
The Amarillo conference is the first of five scheduled around the state.
Others are planned for Tyler, San Angelo, Kingsville and Austin.
The statewide HUB Program became part of the Comptroller's Texas Procurement and Support Services Division in 2007.
At the start of fiscal 2008, about 11,450 Texas businesses were certified as HUBs.
During the past year, more than 1,100 more businesses have registered for the program.

Each mL Contains: ACTIVES: Polymyxin B Sulfate equal to 10,000 polymyxin B units, Trimethoprim Sulfate (equivalent to trimethoprim 1 mg); INACTIVES: Sodium Chloride, Purified Water. Sulfuric acid and, if necessary, sodium hydroxide may be added to adjust pH (4.0 – 6.2). PRESERVATIVE ADDED: Benzalkonium Chloride 0.004%.
Trimethoprim is a synthetic antibacterial drug active against a wide variety of aerobic gram-positive and gram-negative ophthalmic pathogens. Trimethoprim blocks the production of tetrahydrofolic acid from dihydrofolic acid by binding to and reversibly inhibiting the enzyme dihydrofolate reductase. This binding is stronger for the bacterial enzyme than for the corresponding mammalian enzyme and therefore selectively interferes with bacterial biosynthesis of nucleic acids and proteins.
Polymyxin B, a cyclic lipopeptide antibiotic, is bactericidal for a variety of gram-negative organisms, especially Pseudomonas aeruginosa. It increases the permeability of the bacterial cell membrane by interacting with the phospholipid components of the membrane.
Blood samples were obtained from 11 human volunteers at 20 minutes, 1 hour and 3 hours following instillation in the eye of 2 drops of ophthalmic solution containing 1 mg trimethoprim and 10,000 units polymyxin B per mL. Peak serum concentrations were approximately 0.03 μg/mL trimethoprim and 1 unit/mL polymyxin B.
In vitro studies have demonstrated that the anti-infective components of trimethoprim sulfate and polymyxin B sulfate ophthalmic solution are active against the following bacterial pathogens that are capable of causing external infections of the eye:
Trimethoprim: Staphylococcus aureus and Staphylococcus epidermidis, Streptococcus pyogenes,Streptococcus faecalis, Streptococcus pneumoniae, Haemophilus influenzae, Haemophilus aegyptius,Escherichia coli, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Proteus mirabilis (indole-negative), Proteus vulgaris (indolepositive), Enterobacter aerogenes, and Serratia marcescens.
Polymyxin B: Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Escherichia coli, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Enterobacter aerogenes and Haemophilus influenzae.
Polymyxin B sulfate and trimethoprim ophthalmic solution is indicated in the treatment of surface ocular bacterial infections, including acute bacterial conjunctivitis, and blepharoconjunctivitis, caused by susceptible strains of the following microorganisms: Staphylococcus aureus, Staphylococcus epidermidis,Streptococcus pneumoniae, Streptococcus viridans, Haemophilus influenzae and Pseudomonasaeruginosa.**
**Efficacy for this organism in this organ system was studied in fewer than 10 infections.
Polymyxin B sulfate and trimethoprim ophthalmic solution is contraindicated in patients with known hypersensitivity to any of its components.
If a sensitivity reaction to polymyxin B sulfate and trimethoprim ophthalmic solution occurs, discontinue use.
Polymyxin B sulfate and trimethoprim ophthalmic solution is not indicated for the prophylaxis or treatment of ophthalmia neonatorum.
As with other antimicrobial preparations, prolonged use may result in overgrowth of nonsusceptible organisms, including fungi. If superinfection occurs, appropriate therapy should be initiated.
Avoid contaminating the applicator tip with material from the eye, fingers, or other source. This precaution is necessary if the sterility of the drops is to be maintained.
If redness, irritation, swelling or pain persists or increases, discontinue use immediately and contact your physician. Patients should be advised not to wear contact lenses if they have signs and symptoms of ocular bacterial infections.
Carcinogenesis: Long-term studies in animals to evaluate carcinogenic potential have not been conducted with polymyxin B sulfate or trimethoprim.
Mutagenesis: Trimethoprim was demonstrated to be non-mutagenic in the Ames assay. In studies at two laboratories no chromosomal damage was detected in cultured Chinese hamster ovary cells at concentrations approximately 500 times human plasma levels after oral administration; at concentrations approximately 1000 times human plasma levels after oral administration in these same cells, a low level of chromosomal damage was induced at one of the laboratories. Studies to evaluate mutagenic potential have not been conducted with polymyxin B sulfate.
Impairment of Fertility: Polymyxin B sulfate has been reported to impair the motility of equine sperm, but its effects on male or female fertility are unknown.
No adverse effects on fertility or general reproductive performance were observed in rats given trimethoprim in oral dosages as high as 70 mg/kg/day for males and 14 mg/kg/day for females.
It is not known whether this drug is excreted in human milk. Because many drugs are excreted in human milk, caution should be exercised when polymyxin B sulfate and trimethoprim ophthalmic solution is administered to a nursing woman.
Safety and effectiveness in pediatric patients below the age of 2 months have not been established (see WARNINGS).
No overall differences in safety or effectiveness have been observed between elderly and other adult patients.
The most frequent adverse reaction to polymyxin B sulfate and trimethoprim ophthalmic solution is local irritation consisting of increased redness, burning, stinging, and/or itching. This may occur on instillation, within 48 hours, or at any time with extended use. There are also multiple reports of hypersensitivity reactions consisting of lid edema, itching, increased redness, tearing, and/or circumocular rash. Photosensitivity has been reported in patients taking oral trimethoprim.
In mild to moderate infections, instill one drop in the affected eye(s) every three hours (maximum of 6 doses per day) for a period of 7 to 10 days.
Polymyxin B Sulfate and Trimethoprim Ophthalmic Solution USP*, containing 10,000 polymyxin B units and 1 mg trimethoprim per mL, is supplied in a plastic bottle with a controlled drop tip in the following size:

Do Express shirts fit you? Geek has a similar issue and theirs fit him perfectly.
Where can I buy dress shirts that fit me (14.5 neck, 40 chest, 29 waist)? I've looked in almost every store and am kind of frustrated. "Slim fit" or "athletic fit" shirts are usually something like 15.5 neck, 40 chest, 34 waist and make me look like I don't know how to tuck in my shirt properly.
I can't afford real custom tailoring at the moment. I'm skeptical of those made-to-fit online ventures after my friend had two poor experiences from two different companies.
Is there an affordable (<$50 a shirt) solution?
Do Express shirts fit you? Geek has a similar issue and theirs fit him perfectly.
Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, steak in one hand, chocolate in the other, yelling "Holy F***, What a Ride!"
My Latest Journal
buy the closest that fits and have it altered. that's what we have to do for DH.
Now, we go to a shop where alterations are included, and they also have three kinds of styles: duck, dog, and fish. DH buys in the dog label because it's the athletic fit. Then, they include the alterations with the purchase. It's *great* for him. But he did pay $98 for a pair of jeans.
Anyway, most dry cleaners have people who do alterations and it's relatively low cost. Might add $5-6/per garment to the price, but it's worth it if it fits.

A new bill from Rep. Mo Brooks would give former service personnel preference in when seeking a healthcare job with the Department of Veterans Affairs.
The bipartisan bill from Rep. Mo Brooks, R-Huntsville, and Rep. Bill Owens, D-NY, would require the Department of Veterans Affairs to give greater hiring preference to veterans who apply with the VA's healthcare system. The bill, officially known as the Veterans' Assistance to Lower Unemployment and Enhance VA Services Act or VALUES Act, would serve two purposes, Brooks said.
The first would be providing job opportunities for veterans. The second would be helping fill needed positions with the Department of Veterans Affairs. The VA has been under fire for problems related to delays in patient care.
"Recent revelations of broad mismanagement at the Veterans Administration highlight the need for sweeping reform," Brooks said. "Veterans as a group are highly motivated to help with the health care of their brothers and sisters in arms which, in turn, should result in better veteran health care. Further, and in contrast to current VA management, veterans in the VA are uniquely motivated to appeal to the public and Congress when the VA system fails our veterans by risking veterans' health care and lives.
"A side benefit of (the bill) is that it improves the employment opportunities for our returning veterans, and that is always a good thing," Brooks said.
Recent Labor Department statistics show about 9 percent of the 2.3 million American workers who are post 9/11 veterans are unemployed. Those rates are much higher than the 2013 national average of 7.4 percent.

With Bud Selig reaching a deal with the replacement umpires, we can be sure there will be no more awful calls like those that marred the White Sox series. Never mind, that was that other awful commissioner.
The Indians did end up winning their second series of the month, with an opportunity at one more before September ends. Unlike the series with Chicago, this one will be absolutely irrelevant to the playoffs. The Indians win against the White Sox was enough to knock them out of first place and if they continue to push through these last two series, they could easily knock them out of the playoffs entirely.
September 28th, 7:05 PM ET: Will Smith, LHP, 6-8, 4.88 ERA vs David Huff, LHP, 2-0, 2.25 ERA
Huff pitched a great game his last time out, but was still unable to pitch less than 6 innings. Three of his four appearances have been good, but Tribe fans should keep from getting too excited since it is September and he has done this before.
September 29th, 7:05 PM ET: Jake Odorizzi, RHP, 0-1, 5.06 ERA vs Jeanmar Gomez, RHP, 5-8, 5.54 ERA
Gomez will be taking the spot in the rotation of Ubaldo Jimenez as the Indians starter has been declared out for the season. He will miss his last two scheduled starts. Huff was moved up a day so he will pitch on the days that Jimenez was actually scheduled, making him the only pitcher with two starts left. Gomez still has a chance to earn a spot next Spring the way he did this season, but he has probably pitched himself out of any probable place in the 2013 rotation.
September 30th, 1:05 PM ET: Luke Hochever, RHP, 8-15, 5.43 ERA vs Zach McAllister, RHP, 5-8, 4.25 ERA
McAllister is the one Indians starter who has earned his place in the 2013 rotation and this will be his last start of the year. Hopefully he can end the year strong against a rising Royals team.

Some happened to land in Montgomery where they still reside after witnessing a catastrophe that destroyed their environment but not their spirits.
WSFA 12 News Montgomery reports that former New Orleans residents who have found homes in Montgomery are now rebuilding their lives in an unfamiliar city. Some say Montgomery feels even more like home how than their previous city did.
Elvira Gibson, along with carloads of other families, left New Orleans and found their way to the Marriott hotel in Montgomery, the only vacancy after a grueling road trip.

Admirals look for first win in Cincinnati tonight
Erie Admirals S.C. heads on the road tonight in hopes of earning its first win of the National Premier Soccer League season.
The Admirals (0-1-0), who opened the season last Friday with a 4-2 home loss to rival FC Buffalo, face the first-year Cincinnati Saints today at 7:30 p.m. at Stargel Stadium in Cincinnati.
The Saints (0-2-0) opened the season with a 1-0 loss at Detroit City FC, the defending Midwest Division-Great Lakes Conference regular-season champion, in their inaugural game May 10. The Saints followed that with a 3-0 road loss to Westfield (Ind.) Select, another first-year club, on Sunday.
The Admirals look to rebound from a subpar defensive effort against Buffalo at Penn State Behrend. Erie fell behind 3-1 by halftime after allowing two goals in a decisive 2-minute span late in the first half.
Tyler Collishaw (penalty kick) and Teddy Martin, a Cathedral Prep senior who will play at Gannon University in the fall, scored in their Admirals debut. Erie allowed four goals in a match only once a season ago -- in a 4-0 loss to eventual NPSL champion RVA Football Club in the national semifinals.

By Michelle Mackay
Since arriving in Michigan from Australia 15 years ago, I've made efforts to be involved in the local community. Eventually, the friends and connections I had made since joining the community were the people I reached out to for support when the symptoms of my disease – facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy (FSHD) – began to affect my day-to-day life.
FSHD, one of the most common muscular dystrophies, affects more than 500,000 people worldwide. The genetic disorder presents a lifelong progressive loss of all skeletal muscles, and there is currently no treatment or cure. My FSHD diagnosis was made when I was in my early 20s and I was very fit and strong. At that time, the disease didn't particularly impact my lifestyle, and so I didn't share my diagnosis with many.
It wasn't until around the age of 50, when my symptoms increased and my mobility decreased, that I began facing many challenges. It was around that time that it became obvious to everyone that I was struggling with a disease, and I knew I needed to tell people what was going on. The biggest hurdle I face now is fear of falling and injury and the emotional impact of handicap. Not only does the disease affect my daily functions, but it also impacts everyone around me.
Many people with FSHD are isolated both physically and emotionally. Without a support network and resources to buy equipment and help, there are huge limitations to lifestyle. Since my diagnosis, I have learned that communities – both my local community and my FSHD community – are enormously helpful when coping with the daily challenges FSHD presents.
I would strongly advise anyone struggling with this condition to seek the help and support of others with the disease. It is invaluable to have a conversation with someone who is dealing with the same issues, or who can provide you with reliable information regarding FSHD. FSHD patients should understand that they are not alone, and that many people understand and can even help with their struggles.
Michelle Mackay is the wife of former Kellogg's CEO David Mackay. She is hosting a fundraiser at her Gull Lake home on July 5 to raise support for FSHD. For more information, visit http://www.fshsociety.org/pages/conELakeside.html

2013: Your greatest moment
Shark Diving in The Bahamas.
This was the best moment for me in 2013 because I was finally able to scuba dive after a long pause due to time constraints; and I was able to do so in one of the most beautiful places I have ever been. The adrenaline and feelings from this dive are what truly made it the best moment of 2013. I never expected to do such a thing, ever," he added.
- stinabacker, CNN iReport producer
On 11/30/2013 during a family vacation to The Bahamas, I arrived at Stuarts Cove which is one of Nassau's premier attractions featuring water-based activities.
The particular activity in mind was the shark dive that they offer. One of my best friends, Robert Ward, suggested we do this dive, and I was all in for it. After a month of hyping ourselves up to go through with the dive, the day came, and I made sure to bring my GoPro Hero 3 Black Edition along to document the event!
Here is the result of a screenshot from the footage that was filmed 45 feet under the Caribbean Sea!

Lichtenstein: Rebuilding Nets Have No Choice But To Go All-LinWith literally every expert forecasting a miserable season ahead for the Nets, the players were unanimous in telling the media day attendees on Monday that they don't mind flying below the radar.
AP Source: Kevin Garnett Plans To Retire After 21 SeasonsKevin Garnett has decided to retire after 21 seasons in the NBA, leaving a legacy as one of the best defensive players in league history and one of the game's most influential and intense competitors.
Lichtenstein: Nets Betting Culture Change Will Eventually Lift FranchiseIt has been a sharp descent for the Nets these last few years, but they say they have a plan to help them make the climb back up.
Lichtenstein: Lin Promises Nets Competency, Not Lin-sanity Part IIBrooklyn general manager Sean Marks may have landed his top target in Jeremy Lin during this recent free agency period, but the overall talent upgrade from last season's 21-61 abomination was not overly significant.
Nets Formally Introduce Jeremy Lin, Other New FacesLin comes to Brooklyn as the starting point guard for the Nets. He's reuniting with coach Kenny Atkinson, the former Knicks assistant coach who helped him develop.
Lichtenstein: Nets' Bargain Pickups All Part Of Marks' PlanIn case you missed all the news, the Nets signed a bunch of players to short-term contracts this week to round out their roster for the upcoming season.
Reports: Nets Take A Chance On Former No. 1 Overall Pick Anthony BennettSince becoming the top pick by the Cleveland Cavaliers, Bennett, 23, has been labeled a bust and has bounced around the league.
New Yorkers Who Played For NYC TeamsIt's always nice when the stars align and New Yorkers can cheer for fellow New Yorkers playing for New York teams. Here is a look at some of the more memorable examples of players from the five boroughs who went on to play pro ball here.
Report: Brooklyn Nets Land PF Luis ScolaScola, 36, a nine-year NBA veteran, played in 76 games, all starts, for the Toronto Raptors last season. He averaged 8.7 points and 4.7 rebounds per game.
Lichtenstein: Hits To Nets For Failed Offer Sheets Are Way OverblownNets fans sat around their houses Sunday night in depressed states. But chins should be up, because the offer sheet failures actually spared Brooklyn future problems.
Reports: Nets Sign Blazers' Crabbe To 4-Year, $75 Million Offer SheetCrabbe, 24, is coming off his third NBA season. Last year, he played in 81 games, starting eight, and averaged 10.3 points and 2.7 rebounds and shot 46 percent from the field. He's also considered to be a strong defender.
Nets Officially Acquire Rookie Caris LeVert From IndianaIn the June 23 trade, Brooklyn sent power forward Thaddeus Young to Indiana in exchange for the Pacers' first-round pick (20th overall) and a future second-round selection.


text: Stay the course. Pens lose 8-2. Posted by TPB Staff on Apr 23, 2011 18:44 ShareTweet If Game Four was on Monday night, and the Lightning had done this in Games One, Two, and Three, then there would be cause for concern. Anyone who's lived through more than one playoff run knows the final score of this game is meaningless. It's a loss, and the Pens are still up 3-2 in the series.

Just another quiet night on the edge of Philadelphia in Upper Darby Township.
Crime is down nationwide, according to various analysts, but as a Brookings Institution study has noted, border towns have not enjoyed the same level of pacification as their big-city neighbors.
It wasn't included in the Brookings study, but the Philadelphia region would be a prime example.

What are the three key roles of cell division? State each role, and give an example.
1) reproduction: amoeba dividing into two. 2) growth and development: sand dollar embryo dividing after fertilization. 3) tissue renewal: Bone marrow cells divide and give rise to new bone marrow.
What is mean by the cell cycle?
Life of a cell from the time it is formed, from a dividing parent cell, to its division into 2 cells.
What is the difference between a humans genome to that of a prokaryotic cell?
Human genome is made up of many molecules of DNA, not just one circular molecule.
What are the components of the mitotic spindle?
Fibers made of microtubules and associated proteins.
What is the source of the components that make up the mitotic spindle?
Microtubules from the cytoskeleton.
What happens to the centrosome during interphase? Prophase?
In interphase they replicate, in prophase they move to polar ends.
What is a kinetochore?
A structure o fproteins associated with specific sections of chromosomal DNA at the centromere.
What is the difference between kinetochore and nonkinetechore microtubules.
Kinetochore microtubules attach to the kinetochore of chromosomes and the real the chromosomes in during anaphase. Nonkinetechore microtubules do not attach to chromosomes but they do work to elongate the cell.
How is the cell plate formed?
Vesicles from the golgi move along the cytoskeleton and coalesce to form the cell plate.
Describe binary fusion.
As chromosomal replication begins, the origin of replication produces 2 origins. They travel to opposite sides as chromosomes and replicate. Plasma membrane then grow inwards.
What are the differences in how prokaryotic cells vs. eukaryotic cells reproduce?
Prokaryotes partake in binary fusion, eukaryotes use mitosis and meiosis.
What are the difference in how prokaryotic cells vs. eukaryotic cells in their number of chromosomes. Prokaryotes have 1 long circular strand, eukaryotes have many molecules of DNA.
What are the difference in how prokaryotic cells vs. eukaryotic cell shave the shape of chromosomes. In prokaryotes they are circular, in eukaryotes, they come in pairs.
What is a cell cycle check point?
Cell cycle control point where stop and go signals regulate the cycle.
What happens at G1 check point and how is it controlled?
Protein kinases give the go ahead for continued growth of organelles.
What happens at G2 check point and how is it controlled?
Cdc gives the go ahead for continued growth.
What happens at M check point and how is it controlled?
MPF controls this check point. If cells pass this check point, they continue on to cell division.
What is the G0 phase?
If the cell does not receive the go ahead for G1, it goes to G0 where it does not replicate.
The activity of cyclin-dependent kinases rises and falls. Why?
Because its cyclin partner concentration varies.
What are some specific activities that MPF triggers?
Phosphorilation of proteins to initiate mitosis.
What happens if all the chromosomes kinetochores are not attached to spindle fibers?
Anaphase is not started and the M check point is not passed.
How does PDGF stimulate fibroblast division?
It triggers a signal transduction pathway for division.
What is the difference between a benign tumor and a malignant tumor?
A benign remains at the origin site, a malignant impairs the function of organs.

The belief that certain foods enhance passion is rooted in ancient history. Greek, Roman and Egyptian scholars wrote of the stimulating properties of various foods and aphrodisiacs frequently featured in mythology and folk lore. While there is scant scientific evidence to support a link between food and desire, modern lovers frequently turn to passion foods to spice up their lives or simply to add a little fun and romance to the occasion.
Sensual Appeal
Modern-day passion foods have high sensual appeal — those that smell rancid or taste nasty now exist only in history books. The delicate aromas of almond and vanilla, combined with the smooth sweetness of luxury chocolate, give rise to dessert ideas likely to draw in women, or even men. The warmth of ginger and garlic in a subtly flavored dish can turn up the heat for the main event. Juicy, fresh strawberries or pineapple moisten the lips and tantalize the taste buds.
Visually Stunning
Any top restaurateur will tell you that the visual appeal of a dish is paramount. For an evening of passion, combine a rainbow of colors to produce a light and succulent fresh fruit and seafood platter. To spur on fashion, give food a vivid presentation sure to enthrall your lover.
Serving the Food
For a romantic evening, prepare an array of passion foods for an intimate, candlelit dinner. An aromatic seafood appetizer, followed by a subtly-spiced main dish and a dessert combining smooth chocolate mousse with exotic fruits will stimulate the senses and rest easy on the stomach. If unadulterated passion is your aim, serve attractive platters of finger foods that you can enjoy anywhere in the house and will not spoil if you become distracted.
Fun With Food
There is something very intimate about hand feeding your lover. Tender, lightly-dressed asparagus spears and juicy, exotic fruits have textures and shapes that lend themselves to this activity. If you are short of ideas, you can share the same food to create a tender and romantic experience. More adventurous lovers may indulge in chocolate body paint, whipped cream or any combination of foods with a smooth, velvety texture.
Before preparing for your evening of passion, make sure you are aware of any allergies affecting your lover. Ensure food, particularly seafood, is fresh and correctly prepared and avoid circumstances that may give rise to choking. Nothing kills passion more quickly than the onset of a rash, breathing difficulties or frequent trips to the bathroom. Stay safe and enjoy.

BACS is pleased to announce that the 2007 Annual Conference will be held in conjunction with the Centre for Chinese Studies at the University of Manchester on 6-7 September 2007. We thank the Centre for Chinese Studies and the University of Manchester for their generous support. We will be joined in Manchester by our sister organisation, the British Chinese Language Teaching Society, holding their second BCLTS International Symposium. BACS / BCLTS delegates will also be invited to a Manchester Public Lecture on China organised by the University and City Council on the evening of the 6th September.
The conference theme emerged from a 'China Rising' discussion. After decades of underestimating China's contribution to world culture and its place in the world, in the last few years we have witnessed a Zhongguo re 'China craze', certainly in Europe. We are now also seeing the start of a counter-reaction with some people claiming China is over-hyped, that it lacks creativity and that the impressive progress China has made in recent years is all down to Western investment and models.
What has China's contribution to world culture been? Does China offer alternative models? Are we witnessing a paradigm shift in the 21st century? Is our discourse on China capable of capturing the immense complexity and challenge China presents? Are we still trapped in modes of understanding that belong to the past and hamper our ability to comprehend the China of today?
These are the kind of questions the theme seeks to address, critically evaluating the claims of both traditional and contemporary China to creativity and originality.
The BACS Annual Conference welcomes international and UK based participants, both members and non-members, to offer papers or just attend the conference. There will be distinguished keynote speakers in plenary sessions, specialist panels and postgraduate student sessions. Full details and the application form for attendance will be available on the BACS website at http://www.bacsuk.org.uk
Proposals for papers are now invited. You are invited to submit individual paper abstracts or panel proposals. The working language of the conference will be English.
Normally, individual papers will be allotted 30 minutes (20 minutes presentation plus 10 minutes for discussion). Panel proposals should be for a 1-2 hours session.
Abstract submissions for papers should include:
1. Title of the paper
2. Full name, gender and affiliation of the author(s)
3. An abstract of 250-300 words
4. The first author's postal address
5. The first author's email address
6. The first author's telephone number
Panel proposals should include the name and contact details of the panel organiser, the names of the paper givers and abstracts of the papers
Submissions should be sent as an email attachment to the Honorary Secretary Dr Norman Stockman at firstname.lastname@example.com
Wednesday 31 May 2007.
Friday 15 June 2007.

Jennifer Lopez's American Idol negotiations may have gone south, but a superstar may still end up on the judging panel for season 10 of FOX's hit show. Shania Twain has long been at the top of the network's list, according to a source close to the singer.
"They've been after her ever since she was a mentor on the show last season," the source says. "And they haven't given up."
Twain stepped in for the Chicago auditions and "everyone thought she was a great addition to the judges' table," a show source said at the time. She also mentored the contestants in April.
Her name came up – along with other celebs, including Elton John, Chris Isaak and Harry Connick Jr. – as a possible permanent judge after Simon Cowell announced his departure last year.
"Shania's a huge fan of the show and she had a great time as a mentor," the source says.
Asked whether she'll join the show, Twain's rep had no comment.
FOX has no comment except to note that no judges have been confirmed yet for the show.

Canucks? Schneider Throws Luongo Under The Bus
?It?s frustrating,? Cory Schneider told the Globe and Mail. ?It just seems like a lost year for some of these guys and myself included.?
?Lost year? might be the perfect way to sum up this season, especially in goal.
Schneider spent the first year of his three-year, $12 million deal embroiled in an awkward situation while Roberto Luongo spent his 13th NHL campaign as an overpaid backup, appearing in a career-low 20 contests.
The situation in net overshadowed the entire season and hamstrung the Canucks on a number of fronts.
Not a day passed without questions about the Schneider-Luongo saga, and the financial pinch ? the two ate up $9.3 million of cap space ? stuck out like a sore thumb.
Here?s Cam Cole of the Vancouver Sun:
Meanwhile, Canuck management is carrying a plethora of albatrosses into the off-season ? roughly $13.8 million worth of wasted contracts with Roberto Luongo twiddling his thumbs, Keith Ballard evidently consigned to the discard heap and the ever-injured, grossly overrated David Booth taking up space ? and unless Gillis can go, cap in hand, to owner Francesco Aquilini and ask him to buy out a couple of them, and eat some of Luongo?s salary in order to move him, they will be hamstrung when they try to re-stock the shelves?
?And still we search in vain for the compelling reason to fire Vigneault that?s such a popular theme as this team?s era of excellence winds down, and Gillis?s loyal cornermen try to misdirect the responsibility.
Anyone who thinks that arranging the forward lines differently, or changing the defence pairs, or putting this player or that out on the ice at the end of a game would have made the difference is dreaming in Technicolor.

TOTAL Client Services (TCS) is eyeing growth from the delayed road traffic regulations, which would "enhance revenue and growth prospects", it said on Wednesday.
TCS's technology products include road traffic equipment, which is required by municipalities to measure speed and traffic flow patterns and detect offender vehicles on the road.
The company said the Administration Adjudication of Road Traffic Offences Project (AARTO) had been delayed and a new date has not been announced. TCS had aligned its business strategy, products and services in accordance with the requirements of AARTO and "our systems are fully compliant", the company said.
TCS's revenue for the six months to August improved 16% to R26m.
The headline loss per share reduced to 0.26c per share from a loss of 0.72c during the same period last year.
"Performance has improved over the period and the impact has been reflected in the financial results. TCS's E-pay channel has been successful, resulting in more than R1.3m being collected via this payment channel," TCS said.
Given the losses reported in the prior year and the current year, TCS had a negative equity position of R15.9m at end of August.
The company said that during the six months to August it continued to "tackle the challenges at hand in order to take advantage of opportunities in the market".
Management's focus during the period has been to continue to consolidate the existing contracts and improve the service offering. The company was awarded contracts in provinces such as North West, Gauteng and Western Cape.
TCS is being taken to court by a former landlord over alleged unpaid monies and a summons has been issued against the company for R1m. But TCS said it was defending the action and the matter had been set down for a hearing in April next year in the North Gauteng High Court in Pretoria.
"The board do not believe that any amounts are due to the former landlord and have not provided for this amount in the results," it said.

That svelte elder-babe hugging Catherine Keener in Peace, Love, & Misunderstanding? Why, it's Jane Fonda, for much of her career the Silent Generation's most outspoken member. During the 1970s and '80s, Fonda's topical films crystallized her public efforts on behalf of soldiers returning from Vietnam (Coming Home) and working women (Nine to Five).
Though the workplace comedy made more than $100 million at a time when that was rare, Fonda's most popular film in the era when she scored Oscars for Klute and Coming Home was On Golden Pond (1981). The intergenerational drama of reconciliation costarred the actress as the estranged daughter of an aloof father played by her real-life dad, Henry Fonda. The sight of the father and daughter struggling to bridge the generation gap struck a universal chord.

Wynonna Judd & Cowboy Troy
Creator David Chase swears this will be the sixth and final season of The Sopranos, with an eight-episode coda in January. But be happy, fans. The first new episode is brilliant, a wonderfully invigorating reintroduction to a show that's been in repeats since June 13, 2004. The story rapidly catches up on the year since we last saw Tony Soprano (James Gandolfini), as he lumbered to the safety of home after fleeing a surprise FBI bust on Johnny Sack. Uncle Junior, unsurprisingly, has deteriorated. Massive Vito Spatafore, surprisingly, has cut back on carbs (and, we'll see, increased his hunger for power). Then comes a violent twist. Let's just say it's plausible, shocking, ironic and with a weird undercurrent of pathos. Do not miss.
The problem with this wrenching development is that the aftershocks swamp the next few episodes. It's like having Frank Gehry remodel the Soprano home and then expecting Carmela to just walk right in and locate the old closets. The second episode is tiresomely oblique, and the third is wobbly. Edie Falco, at any rate, gets some electric scenes as Carmela. And the old brooding themes are still murmuring—death, decline, the irreparable past. My guess is that, when all's said and done, The Sopranos is really a metaphor for the baby boom generation's fear of age and time. The difference is that Tony can resort to therapy and murder.
HBO (Sundays, 10 p.m. ET)
In 1878 the Supreme Court upheld the federal government's ban on polygamy. One hundred and twenty-eight years later, Bill Henrickson, the wiley, affable and increasingly desperate hero of this crackling new series, disagrees. A Salt Lake City Mormon and businessman with an open, scrubbed face and dreams of building his home-improvement store chain into a new Wal-Mart, Henrickson (Bill Paxton) is a thriving husband too. He has three wives and seven kids, and he has installed them in three shiny new suburban homes built onto a common yard. It's illegal, of course, and against Mormon teachings, and all sorts of fictions have to be strung out to placate suspicious neighbors. The other source of tension is one of his fathers-in-law, Roman, head of the sprawling polygamous camp where Bill grew up. This man, who helped finance Bill's store and now demands a bigger chunk, is played by Harry Dean Stanton with the pinched cunning of a raccoon.
The other performances are just as fine—sharp, with fun little tweaks. Roman's daughter Nicki, who has a credit card debt problem and a strange intimacy with Daddy, is played with unexpected satiric sheen by Chloë Sevigny: With her stylish cinched waists, she looks like an Amish woman who sneaked a peek at Sex and the City. Big Love comes closer than any series to capturing some of the loose American satire of a Robert Altman movie. It's the best new show of the year.
ABC (Mondays, 10 p.m. ET)
A man blind for 22 years regains sight in one eye after two surgeries, and in thanks says that he would wipe away tears of happiness—if only his ducts were capable of manufacturing and leaking them. But the audience cries for him. You'd have to be a bobble head made of concrete not to.
Workers is something like a medically humanitarian version of Extreme Makeover. Chronically ill patients lacking money for new treatments that would rescue them are cured by leading specialists. (According to The New York Times, the producers sought out cases with a likely 90 percent success rate.) Well, there are worse things a reality show could attempt, right?
If only we were spared the interruptions of the two doctors and two nurses who act as a sort of HMO chorus for the show, narrating not only medical but emotional histories. Dr. Redmond Burke, a pediatric cardiovascular surgeon so good-looking he could play a brilliant physician if he weren't one already, is shown in the operating room vigilantly observing. In blue scrubs and with his tapered surgeon's fingers pressed together in tense concern, he suggests a very tall Mother Teresa.
Lifetime (Sundays, 10 p.m. ET)
I come from a small, conservative place where my dreams of high school cheerleading could never have been fulfilled. Watching this eight-week series makes me realize that it's probably just as well. The pressure would have been crushing. The pompoms would have shattered in my hands like champagne flutes.
The title promises some camp fun along the lines of Bring It On or The Positively True Adventures of the Alleged Texas Cheerleader-Murdering Mom, but the first installment of Cheerleader Nation indicates that this is a series that won't condescend. It's earnest and fair. It accepts at face value the not insignificant terrors and humiliations inherent in executing a back handspring before a crowd of judges. The series follows 22 girls on the cheerleading squad of Lexington, Ky.'s Dunbar High during nine months, as they pursue the school's third consecutive national championship. (If you can't wait to know the outcome, it's on the Web.) The most interesting dynamic so far is that of coach Donna Martin, a Katie Couric look-alike, and daughter Ryan. It'd be scary if Ryan were sis-boom-bah at home. She's not.
CBS (Tuesdays, 9 p.m. ET)
The Unit, about a secret special-forces squad and the wives they leave behind as they race around thwarting terrorists and such, was created by playwright-filmmaker David Mamet. It's his baby, yes sir, all punched-up and arrestingly off-kilter. The men talk at a humorless, steely clip, as if shooting out hollow cartridges instead of words. The women can seem like glassy-eyed, duty-obsessed Stepford wives. Episode 3 is the most striking, as the men (including Scott Foley and 24's Dennis Haysbert) are subjected to deadly POW conditions to test their strength. It's like Prison Break at Guantanamo Bay. For good or bad, this is a show with a mind of its own.
>What really matters on any given Sopranos season, of course, is who's gonna get whacked. But intriguing new faces always pass through. This time look out for former ER star Julianna Margulies as a real estate broker. And Ben Kingsley will honor us with one episode—as himself.
>Two and a Half Men (CBS, March 13, 9 p.m. ET) Jon Lovitz guest-stars as Charlie Sheen's archenemy.
Lil' Kim: Countdown to Lockdown (BET, Thursdays, 9:30 p.m. ET) Documentary series follows the rapper, now in prison, from her perjury conviction to the beginning of her yearlong sentence in Philadelphia.

Nashville Star, the American Idol of country music, starts its fourth season on USA Network March 14 with two fresh hosts: old-school Wynonna Judd and new-school Cowboy Troy, the 6′5″ country rapper.
HOW DO YOU DEFINE A "NASHVILLE STAR"? Judd: We've got a mother with three kids. Then there's a guy who was in an accident and got his face shot. You don't have to be from a small Southern town. Who can be a star? Anyone. That is the American dream.
WHAT'S YOUR TAKE ON EACH OTHER? Troy: I'm relatively new to the entertainment industry. I'm going to be watching everything from Wynonna, with my pen and paper handy.
Judd: When we first met [at the Country Music Association Awards], I'm thinking, "What are the chances?" Here he is, this tall, black cowboy who raps. But it's where country music is headed.
HOW DOES THIS PAIRING COMPARE TO THE JUDDS? Judd: I don't have to do his hair. I did [my mother Naomi's] hair every night. They have portrayed me as being the motherly sister and Troy is this brother I never wanted.
Troy: I need all the help I can get.
Judd: And I will tell you the truth. I will tell you if you need a breath mint.
WOULD YOU EVER BE AS HARSH AS SIMON COWELL? Judd: I would never say someone was fat. I would never say something that would make them want to give everything up. The business is so tough, they're going to get that anyway.
WHAT SHOWS DO YOU LIKE? Troy: Sports Center. I like to get up and watch Squawkbox on CNBC.
Judd: I just TiVo—you're going to laugh—Little House on the Prairie. It's for my daughter. That's what we're into now.

I will do a brief explanation of how I got the people who are featured in this article.
They must have been projected to do good or were performing were they were previously. Also price paid for their services is a factor.

12 Tricks to Feeding Your Kids Healthy FoodBrooke McLay
Jackie Keller is a nutrition expert. She's devoted her life to creating an empire of nutritional services, and has provides expert advice to A-list celebrities like Angelina Jolie and Uma Thurman. To top off those impressive accomplishements, Jackie is also a mom to three kids. And, she knows what it's like to try to get your kids to eat healthy, whole foods. If you've ever thought, "I'd love to feed my kids more healthy, organic snacks and meals, but I can barely get them to chug down a pot of flaming orange mac 'n' cheese," Jackie shares her expertise by letting us in on her best secrets for encouraging your little ones to be healthy eaters.
Use cookie cutters to make sandwiches into fun shapes. Cheese can also be cut into different shapes and sizes.
Let your child decorate their sandwiches with raisins, apples, banana slices, or grapes, and then watch them disappear.
Plain ice cream cones are good alternatives to bread. Scoop tuna salad, chicken salad, or cottage cheese into the cone and top with a cherry tomato.
Making pizza together can be fun. Spread tomato sauce on a piece of pita bread or English muffin. Decorate with topping of your choice including mozzarella cheese, green peppers, mushrooms, and black olives. Make designs and faces with the toppings. If your child does not like vegetables, try making fruit pizza instead. Use low fat cream cheese instead of tomato sauce and cut up chunks of fruit of your choice for toppings.
Use child-sized dinnerware, utensils, and place settings. Set the table with a place mat that is special to your child or one that he or she has made.
Find out the vegetables your child does like, and serve those on a regular basis. Most children will eat carrots, peas, green beans, and corn.
Tuck finely chopped cooked vegetables in food your child likes. Try chopped spinach or broccoli in lasagna, shredded carrots in tacos, or beans in Sloppy Joes.
Increase the nutritional value of salads your child likes by adding fresh spinach, tomato, or kidney and garbanzo beans.
Puree cooked vegetables in a blender and stir them into soups or use them as a sauce.
Make sure that you, as a parent eat plenty of vegetables. This is most important as children learn best by example.
Visit your local farmer's market with your child, and have him or her help you pick out fresh produce. Later, have your child help you prepare the items they selected. Kids are good at washing and peeling, and they may be more prone to eat something they helped create.
Also attached are several of the recipes that Jackie designed for the site. Please let me know if you have any questions or if I can send anything further your way.

sorry but whats a BenQ drive?
I was reading some stuff over on the xbox.com forums and one topic was that the new elite doesnt have the silent BenQ disc drive. They came to this assumption by looking at the picture of the disk drive of the elite on IGN.
What I want to know is how do you know your drive is BenQ or not?
Is there a way to identify the production date of the xbox without removing the console itself?
