Bacteria Turn Toxic Liquid Into Pure Gold Nuggets!
Remember the story about the Goose that laid the golden eggs? Now a team of researchers from the University of Michigan has discovered bacteria that can do the same - and not just any golden eggs, but tiny nuggets of the purest form of the precious metal.
The geniuses behind this magical experiment are microbiologist Kazem Kashefi and electronic artist Adam Brown. They began with a metal-tolerant bacteria called Cupriavidus metalliduran and fed it liquid gold (III) chloride. Found in traces in the ocean, this metallic compound is highly toxic and capable of killing most living organisms especially, if exposed to it at highly concentrated levels.
However, not the Cupriavidus metalliduran. They seemed to just love it and devoured about 25 times more than any other bacteria had ever done before. After eating all that toxic liquid, they not only survived, but also, metabolized it and pooped out little nuggets of solid gold!
The scientists who believe their experiment mimics what happens in nature, did not reveal why they picked this particular bacteria or the reason they decided to conduct this cool experiment. They simply describe it as neo-alchemy, where 'every part, every detail of the project is a cross between modern microbiology and alchemy'.
However, before you get all excited, this is not a cost-effective way of mass-producing gold, because it takes too long and the poop particles are quite tiny. Also, while the toxic liquid can be found naturally in our oceans, the amount is minuscule. Of course, it could also be manufactured in laboratories, but given that one of the raw materials it requires is gold, that kind of defeats the purpose! That is probably why, instead of keeping it a secret, the scientists have turned their fun experiment into a living art exhibit.
'The Great Work of the Metal Lover' that was showcased in Linz, Austria until October 7th, 2012 was a portable laboratory that featured a 'bioreactor' wherein a clump of the bacteria were given huge amounts of gold(111) chloride. Though it took a week, if patient, the audience was actually able to witness the pooping of the golden nuggets. For those of us that could not make it to Austria to witness this live, here is a video showing the amazing transformation!

Drones to Fly At Mock Riot
MOUNDSVILLE – Sometimes described as an "angry beehive," the unmistakable sound of drones whizzing through the sky will be heard at the 2014 Mock Prison Riot from May 4-7 at the former West Virginia Penitentiary.
DroneShield LLC, a Virginia-based company that specializes in drone detection systems, will deploy drones and its drone detection technology during training scenarios at the four-day riot. Special operations teams will practice scenarios, in which drones will be flown over the prison walls to drop off contraband to "prisoners."
According to Brian Hearing, co-founder of DroneShield, drones have become a growing concern with prison wardens as improved technology continues to make drones more widely available and inexpensive.
"We are aware of of news articles on people using drones to drop off drugs or cellphones into prison yards," Hearing said. "It's going to be really interesting how people handle this. What if 10 drones come in at a time? We're going to throw in twists and sneak in contraband including guns and knives and we're going to see how the officers respond to that."
Hearing said teams will practice both a surprise scenario in which officers will not know drones are coming in until after the fact and a scenario in which they will be alerted to a drone by a DroneShield device.
DroneShield was founded and developed by Hearing and John Franklin, who earned advanced degrees in engineering and computer science and have more than 20 years of experience working on science and engineering projects.
DroneShield is a small, square device that can be plugged into an outlet or can operate on a micro-USB battery charger for a few hours. It is designed to target commercial, off-the-shelf drone models designed for consumers. The device uses a microphone that listens for the sound of drones using a database of common drone acoustic signatures, which reduce false alarms such as the sounds of lawn mowers or leaf blowers.
The device does not interfere with a drone in anyway, but it will send a warning to officers to the presence of a drone by either text message or email, allowing officers time to respond. According to Hearing, DroneShield also provides digital evidence for the prosecution of people attempting to sneak in contraband.
"Civilian drone technology has opened the door for an entirely new threat to facility security," Major Ronnie Williams, West Virginia Division of Corrections chief of special operations, said. "It's not something we've encountered in West Virginia yet, but as early as 2004, there started to be reports of it occurring from all over the world."
Williams said a basic Internet search on the words 'civilian drones for sale' results in about 496,000 hits.
From instructions on how to build a low-cost drone to drones ready-made with price points ranging from $100 to $15,000 and everything in between, it is easy to see how criminals are getting their hands on these devices and using them for nefarious purposes, he said.
"It's a growing threat to security," Williams said.
So far, operations teams from the Lee County Sheriff's Office in Florida and the West Virginia Division of Corrections are scheduled to participate in training scenarios involving DroneShield.

How Many Fashion Editors Does It Take to Dress Lady Gaga in Haider Ackermann?
One, two, three?
Of Ackermann's draped designs, the Independent writes: "They are often so complex that when, for example, in March 2011, Lady Gaga appeared on the front cover of American Vogue wearing Haider Ackermann, the hapless fashion editor responsible for styling her look called the designer to ask for his personal help dressing her. No 'how many fashion editors does it take...' jokes called for, please." But you've made it so easy.

Make sure you ask for the dollop sauce bucket. They slide the ladle all over the regular pizza with the regular sauce bucket. Just okay for GF pizza. They used to have GF beer. They no longer have it.
1 star is only for the fact that they are not gluten free if you have medical gluten issues. Per their menu " *We work with wheat based dough and share equipment with our gluten-free dough. Some cross contact may occur." If you go watch them prep pizzas, you will see this in action.
Awesome!! Absolutely love it!
111 Meadow Farm Road Suite 100, Lafayette, LA 70508
Also provide dairy free too!
220 S Magnolia Dr, Tallahassee, FL 32301
They do have a gluten free crust and they change their gloves to get the dough. However, they do not use separate ingredients for the gluten free pizzas. My husband has celiac disease so we just took his pizza to go and gave it away. It wasn't worth the risk.
12697 North Pennsylvania Street, Carmel, IN 46032
There is a huge disclaimer in the glass sneeze guard as soon as you walk in. The dough definitely touches shared equipment. I passed and went next door to Chipotle.
65 New Jersey 4, Paramus, NJ 07652
They were very nice, but I would not recommend this place for anyone with Celiac Disease. They will change their gloves when prepping, but they don't change them on the other end of the line when they take the pizza off the GF tray and onto your plate. They also use the same knife as they used on Every Other Pizza. I went without my Celiac daughter to check the place out and I will not be back.
3500 Washtenaw Ave d, Ann Arbor, MI 48104
This pizza place is the most affordable and delicious by far! And the gluten free dough tastes great! You can also get unlimited toppings at no extra charge! And you can ask them to do a glove change if you need.
290 Settlers Ridge Center Dr, Robinson Township, PA 15205
The employees are trained for allergen safety. They have dedicated utensils. The pizza is pretty tasty, too!
65 New Jersey 4, Paramus, NJ 07652
Just vomited for over a hour from cross contamination, they need a separate oven and to use new metal pans when they're serving the crust! Please fix this and get yourself GIG certified we could use a great pizza place!
12697 North Pennsylvania Street, Carmel, IN 46032
The pizza press they use to flatten the dough contaminates the gluten free dough instantly.
5134 Main St, Williamsburg, VA 23188
I was sad when zpizza closed...but then I found this place. I was pleasantly surprised when I ordered a gluten free pizza and saw them take out actual gluten free pizza dough! No shells here! They have a press they use when flattening out the dough, and they cleaned it thoroughly before using it. The staff all changed their gloves when informed of a gluten allergy, used dedicated utensils, and everyone was very knowledgeable about which ingredients and toppings were GF. But best of all, the pizza was SO GOOD. Instead of using one of those conveyor belt ovens like Pie Five or zpizza would use, they use a real oven (flames and all), and you can taste the difference. This might be one of the best GF pizzas I've ever had.
220 S Magnolia Dr, Tallahassee, FL 32301
I had a different experience than Krysta. I did get the GF crust - they changed gloves and used a separate (non-contaminated) container and spoon to put on the marinara. I'm giving it 4 stars bc I didn't get sick - but I personally didn't like the pizza crust and neither did my 2 other friends who got non-GF. The crust was just really chewy (for both).
48650 Seminole Drive, Cabazon, CA 92230
Had GF crust for pizza. No gluten reactions at all. Looking forward to going again. They were very attentive by changing gloves, asking questions, etc.
108 West Foothill Boulevard, Monrovia, CA 91016
They changed all their gloves when I said I had an allergy, and had a separate tray for my pizza. They even had a dedicated GF pizza slicer. Amazing tasting as well!!
Eddy Street Commons, 1234 N Eddy St, South Bend, IN 46617
No clue about gf at all. Discussed the gf options and the server was happy to change gloves so I thought great, then he went to use a tray that clearly had normal flour from previous on it, I asked them to change to a clean one which they did and then he sprinkled it with normal flour!! Another member of staff told him he couldn't put flour on the base but by then it was too late, I decided to leave. This was one of the only options for food open late at night but I'd rather go without than get poisoned. I couldn't leave 0 stars!!
5015 West Main Street, Kalamazoo, MI 49009
We've eaten here a number of times and have never had a problem. There is a possibility of contamination because they do share equipment, but they do clean the lower plate of the press before making GF crust. They normally have one person walk my pizza the entire way with fresh gloves. The pizza is made on a special liner so it doesn't touch shared surfaces. There is also a special bin for GF pizza sauce that is not contaminated. Three of us are GF in our family, my daughter will throw up if ingested gluten, we've not had any problems. Communication is key and don't be afraid to speak into any concerns you have.
4999 Old Orchard Shopping Center, Skokie, IL 60077
Toppings were good but the gluten-free crust is as thin as paper.
5734 North Bayshore Drive, Glendale, WI 53217
They are very consistent in keeping gloves and equipment separate. Love that they have vegan cheese - with my additional dairy allergy I rarely get gluten free pizza with cheese. What a treat!
2005 S Mooney Blvd, Visalia, CA 93277
The gluten free crust is good. I suggest you remind to use sauce near veggie bins as some aren't quite trained. And remind oven attendant that gfree crust takes a bit longer to cook. I have eaten here several times and haven't gotten sick but I also watch them every step of the way and have them remake if the aren't careful.
2206 North Eagle Road, Meridian, ID 83646
Really fast pizza processing even with rolling out my gf crust. Choose from lots of toppings without individual charges per item!! I can't have tomato and they accomaded with other sauce choices. Can't wait to get back as it's been a couple of weeks.
2137 Golden Centre Ln, Gold River, CA 95670
They always offer a glove change and they have a dedicated gf press for the pizza. They have separate containers and utensils for spreading sauce. they also use a separate slicer to cut the pizza. I have eaten there at least 8 times and only noticed a bit of cross contamination one time. overall very pleased with the safety here. And the price is pretty good compared to skipolinis.
Towne Centre at Laurel, 14708 Baltimore Avenue, Laurel, MD 20707
They can't guarantee there's no cross contamination so if you are very sensitive it might not be the best place to go but they do take precautions to avoid as much cross contamination as possible, glove change, separate cutter, and they put the dough on an extra thing so it doesn't touch the wood slider or the areas that the other pizzas touch. The dough is pretty fantastic. Just check ahead of time that any toppings you want are gluten free as there are a few toppings that aren't
3617 Archer Rd., Gainesville, FL 32608
best gluten free pizza around!
2135 S University Dr, Davie, FL 33324
Great gluten free pizza. They will change gloves if you ask them. Pizza is cooked in same brick oven but over a silicone mat. They use different cutters to avoid cross contamination
5015 West Main Street, Kalamazoo, MI 49009
I used to eat here all the time until I realized they use the same machine to press the GF dough with as they do with the regular dough.
112 South Main Street, Royal Oak, MI 48067
I have a gluten allergy as well as dairy and eggs . This is hands down the best and one of the only pizza places that offer a pizza that can also be made vegan. They offer Daiya dairy free cheese as an option. Their crust is delicious , and they are extremely cautious with cross contamination as long you specify it's an allergy.
65 New Jersey 4, Paramus, NJ 07652
Food is good. But service is HORRIBLE
113 North Peters Road, Knoxville, TN 37923
There was quite a bit of miscommunication amongst the staff with our three GF pizzas and one rude worker so that didn't help make our first visit there very nice. The manager ended up handling our order but it was a debacle! The pizza is very good and a good size (12"). They changed gloves for us and had a designated handler. They only offer premade salads in the cooler and they were clueless about whether the dressings were GF, even the manager. Another disappointment. We chose to get a Caesar salad and they happily changed out the dressing to balsamic vinaigrette at my request. The salad had been packaged with croutons but they were in a separate section that I removed. I was ready to sit down at that point and didn't let it bother me. Pizza is probably worth a 4 -5 stars but the service and salad situation was a deterrent for sure.
10325 Fairway Drive, Roseville, CA 95678
Great place! Very aware of allergens and great amount for the price when you compare to almost any other gf pizza option!
3370 N Digital Dr, Lehi Pointe, UT 84043
I got sick :( they attempted to be cautious but still got cross.
5015 West Main Street, Kalamazoo, MI 49009
I'm not super impressed with Blaze. I've had much better crust many other places. I love the number of topping options. If you are familiar with Pieology, this place may disappoint.
667 E Colorado Blvd, Pasadena, CA 91101
Fantastic GF pizza. All in the same oven but I didnt have a reaction. They ask you if you want them to change their gloves (and I did have them do that).
1 Canal Park, Cambridge, MA 02141
Good pizza. Very clean prep. All fresh ingredients from under the line. Liner for pizza while it is being baked
225 W Avenida Vista Hermosa, San Clemente, CA 92672
They are careful to use different utensils and ask if they should change their gloves when making a gluten free pizza. Their gluten free crust is great!
215 North Cattlemen Road, Sarasota, FL 34243
Blaze is really great here with changing gloves and separate sauce for the gluten free pizzas. Only thing I would suggest is to watch your pizza when they are cooking it/bringing it out of the oven. On one occasion a gluten pizza landed slightly on top of my pizza and I had to ask them to remake it. Manager completely apologized and gave me a free pizza coupon, but just make sure to watch for that. But I've eaten here a number of times with no symptoms and i'm pretty sensitive. They make a really good crispy crust and I love adding Zucchini to my pizza.
1400 Willowbrook Mall, Wayne, NJ 07470
Best Gluten free Pizza hands down
1024 Market Center Drive, Morrisville, NC 27560
they change gloves and put a protector tray under the dough; however, it is pressed on the same machine so the top is not protected. A separate sauce container and utensil is also used. lots of cross contamination possible however with all the toppings. The gloves used to touch the wheat dough also reach into the toppings. while they change gloves to make your pizza the wheat contact gloves have already contaminated the toppings. definite reaction after eating.
1255 Raritan Road, Clark, NJ 07066
App made me give it one star but it definitely does not deserve any stars. They have major cross contamination issues. Not for people with celiac disease.
5604 Balboa Avenue, San Diego, CA 92111
They are very careful to ensure your food doesn't get cross-contaminated. Great pizza too.
2206 North Eagle Road, Meridian, ID 83646
The GF pizza was delicious. We are a GF, EF, DF family and all of us were easily accommodated. It is super busy though, and for your own safety speak up and ask for glove changes, monitor the toppings selection if you have multiple allergies and ask for a clean pizza cutter since cross contamination could easily occur. They do share the same oven so if you are highly sensitive to gluten beware. We have wheat allergy, not celiacs and it was fine for us.
17530 West Bluemound Road, Brookfield, WI 53045
Very good pizza with option for soy cheese! They changed gloves and used special pizza cutter for my son!
1255 Raritan Road, Clark, NJ 07066
The quality has changed here. The past three times here I personally watched them contaminate the pizza but placing the cooked pizza right on top of a wheat pie. Manager couldn't care less. STAY AWAY IF YOU HAVE CELIAC! They have GF pizza but their employees don't follow the company procedures. They lost a good customer
1325 Eglin Street, Rapid City, SD 57701
Love the variety of toppings! Just make sure to tell them you need full GF and they will change gloves, separate the pizza in the oven, etc. Will definitely go back!
1475 Western Ave, Albany, NY 12203
They have GF pizza dough, and offer to all put on clean gloves when handling the dough. It is still made in the same assembly line and cooked in the same brick oven. I personally did have a negative reaction to my GF pizza. It was also all crunch and not soft at all.
4999 Old Orchard Shopping Center, Skokie, IL 60077
Employees do change gloves and place the GF pizza on paper to separate it from regular pizzas... but then they also use all the same utensils without changing or cleaning. NOT SAFE for celiacs
113 North Peters Road, Knoxville, TN 37923
Very knowledgeable and courteous. They took my GF pizza very seriously. Separate sauces and a huge variety of toppings. I had the spinach, tomato and zucchini! It was phenomenal. Will go back again and again.
73393 California 111, Palm Desert, CA 92260
Amazing pizza..desperate prep area and ingredients...great price
2146 N Federal Hwy, Boca Raton, FL 33431
I held in my rage at the pizza cutting boy by not saying anything at all but I should have because he was tossing my gf pizza on top of other non gf pizzas while cutting their crusts. Normally they aren't so bad about cross contamination but this time I just about flipped my lid. They're lucky I only have a mild intolerance. I was so hungry I ate it anyways though. I'm on hour 3 of uncomfortable indigestion. Next time, if I ever go again, he's getting a piece of my mind.
3370 N Digital Dr, Lehi Pointe, UT 84043
They ask if it is preference or allergy for gluten free crust. They change their gloves and do everything separate. And the crust tastes exactly the same.
400 Balltown Rd, Schenectady, NY 12304
They have special sauce so there is no cross contamination and they cook the gluten free crust on a paper dish to avoid cross contamination as well. As soon as you say that you have an allergy or celiac disease, the person making your pizza changes their gloves and takes care of you. Delicious make your own pizzas!
5134 Main St, Williamsburg, VA 23188
I really enjoyed this place. When ordering the gluten free pizza they asked if I needed them to do a glove change. The pizza was really good! I'll be back for sure! (I do not have celiac and they do stress that there can be some cross contamination for those who are celiac, so be careful depending on your needs).
4999 Old Orchard Shopping Center, Skokie, IL 60077
It is not safe for celiacs. From their website: "We use the same oven and dough press for both gluten-free and standard dough, so there is a good chance of some cross-contact in our restaurants." http://www.blazepizza.com/faqs/

Doctor insights on:
Ultrasound Scan For Gallstones
I recently had an ultrasound of the gallbladder which had no gallstones or abnormalities , would it still be necessary to do a hida scan?
Possibly: A normal gallbladder ultrasound, while good news, doesn't exclude certain syndromes of gallbladder dysfunction that can cause pain. A hida scan, when combined with cholecystokinin, is useful in that this test shows how well the gallbladder empties itself of bile and whether the giving of cholecystokinin (which causes gallbladder contraction) reproduces your pain. ...Read more
Sonogram (Definition)
The sonogram is a test that looks at body organs with no radiation. It uses sound waves and can give us a 2 dimensional view of organs such as the kidney, liver, heart, and lungs. It can define spaces that are either solid or full of fluid. I can also guide large needles into an organ or near the spine, and can help define the area being cut open. Its a ...Read more
I've been diagnosed with gallstones by ultrasound & been having severe gallbladder attacks but now my dr ordered a HIDA scan is that necessary?
Sometimes: Sometimes if the symptoms of your attacks do not correspond with gallstone pain, some physicians will order a HIDA scan to see if the GB is emptying properly. Most of the time if a person has gallstones and symptoms of right upper quadrant pain after eating, it would be justified to proceed forward with surgery with out a HIDA scan. You should speak to a General Surgeon. ...Read more
Is it recommended to have gallbladder out if hida scan says your function is 30 percent and gb ultrasound says you don't have gallstones?
If you have symptoms: Biliary dyskinesia can cause typical gallbladder symptoms. If one has RUQ pain or bloating after meals or nausea or fatty food intolerance or any combination, and their gb function is less than 35%, then laparoscopic gb removal would be appropriate. You could delay intervention, if desired, by eating a low fat diet. About 10% of my patients don't have gallstones. Good luck. ...Read moreSee 2 more doctor answers
Ultrasound for gallstones negative. Waiting for results on HIDA scan. Why is this scan used? I have soreness on right side but not extreme pain now.
Shows function : HIDA scan can show us how well GB functions or if it is blocked. If function is poor or its blocked surgery will help with pain. ...Read more
Diagnosed w gallstones thru ultrasound but now ordered for HIDA scan? Is it true that this scan could cause severe gallbladder attack or move stones?
Maybe: A HIDA scan evaluates the function of the GB. During a HIDA scan you are given a medication that will cause your GB to contract and that can sometimes cause discomfort. Also the Ensure that you are asked to drink can also precipitate some RUQ discomfort. As far as a full fledged GB attack, that is unlikely. It definatley does not cause more stones. Talk to the physician who ordered the scan. ...Read more
So Ihad a ultrasound and was told I had a 8mm gallstone. I later had a ct scan for another matter. It said no gallstones present. So do I have stones?
Yes you do: Ultrasound is much more sensative than is CT for looking at the gallbladder. Ultrasound will show the gall stones before they are seen on CT. ...Read more
I got a hida scan of my gallbladder done which reported anef of 12%. The abd ultrasound reported no gallstones. Is the chronic burping and pressure (poking) under my right rib cage caused by the ef?
Probably yes: A normal gallbladder ejection fraction on a hida scan should be more than 40%. At 12%, this means that you have a dyskinesia of your gallbladder which can give the type of symptoms you are reporting. You should consult your doctor and discuss the possibility of surgically removing your gallbladder, even if there are no gallstones, especially if all other tests are normal. Good luck. ...Read moreSee 2 more doctor answers

Tough Call: This is not an uncommon situation--things are not always "black & white". If i were convinced that my patient was having "gallbladder symptoms", i would lean towards recommending surgery.

What is in this article?:
- Higher carbon prices could spur adoption of methane digesters
- Digester profitability and adoption
- Carbon revenues would accrue to Western dairies
- Policies and facility sharing
- A market price for carbon emission reductions would allow livestock producers with methane digesters to earn additional revenue from trapping and burning methane from manure.
- Greater income from reducing methane emissions could substantially increase the number of livestock producers who would find it profitable to install methane digesters.
- Large-scale hog and dairy operations with lagoon manure management systems are likely to benefit most from a higher carbon price, which could have longrun structural implications for the livestock sector.
More About:
Methane digesters that collect and burn methane from manure can provide numerous benefits to livestock producers and the environment. Still, digesters have not been adopted widely, mainly because the costs of constructing and maintaining these systems have exceeded the benefits accruing to operators. Currently, there are 157 methane digesters operating in the U.S., of which 126 are on dairies and 24 are on hog operations.
Methane is a potent greenhouse gas (GHG), and burning 1 ton of methane is equivalent to eliminating about 24 tons of carbon dioxide. There are a number of policies that could encourage farmers to use a digester to reduce methane emissions, either by providing financial inducements for those who install a digester or by penalizing those who do not.
A carbon offset market is one mechanism currently used for valuing methane emissions reductions. An offset market allows livestock producers who reduce methane emissions to sell these reductions, or "carbon offsets," to other greenhouse gas emitters who face emissions caps or who voluntarily wish to offset their own emissions. Currently, only a few U.S. livestock operators sell offsets in regional or voluntary carbon offset markets. This is partly because the carbon prices in these markets have been low. However, future efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions could result in substantially higher carbon prices.
If farmers could earn a higher price for their methane emissions reductions, then digesters could become profitable on many more operations. However, there is likely to be wide variation in the scale, location, and characteristics of the operations that would benefit. The main beneficiaries would be producers whose operations emit substantial quantities of methane—particularly, dairy and hog operations with lagoon or pit manure storage facilities. Among these, larger scale operations will likely profit more from higher carbon prices because it is generally more cost effective to construct and operate larger digesters than smaller ones. Consequently, in the long run, valuing emissions reductions could encourage further concentration in the dairy and swine industries unless ways are found to promote the adoption of digesters on small-scale operations.

Elasia Arroyo, Sunnyside
2 cups flour
1 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoon sugar
1/2 cup minced coconut flakes
4 tablespoons coconut milk, cold
1 cup butter
3 tablespoons shortening
1 teaspoon coconut extract
1/2 of a medium white onion, chopped
4 tablespoons olive oil
1 regular-sized package of
ground beef (93% lean)
1 tablespoon salt
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon sugar
1 teaspoon pepper
1 teaspoon paprika
1 tablespoon Jamaican
curry powder
1 packet beef Swanson
Flavor Boost
1/2 cup marinara tomato sauce
Non-stick cooking spray
For crust: Sift 2 cups of flour into a large mixing bowl. Add 1 teaspoon salt plus 2 tablespoons sugar.
Mince a 1/2 cup of coconut flakes by taking a sharp knife and cutting the flakes as finely as possible. Add coconut flakes to the flour mixture.
Cut in butter 4 teaspoons at a time. Cut shortening in after that.
Mix coconut milk (milk has to be cold) with the coconut extract. Pour milk into crumbled mixture; if not enough, pour small amounts of cold water into the mixture.
When soft and manageable, use hands to form dough into a ball. Cut the dough in half, then place in a plastic baggie.
Refrigerate for at least an 1 1/2 hours before rolling out.
For the beef: Heat 4 tablespoons of olive oil in a skillet. When hot, add onion.
Lower heat to medium/low and cook, stirring occasionally until onions are slightly browned; add beef.
With a wooden spoon, separate into pieces to eventually form crumble-like mixture.
While separating, sprinkle in salt, sugar, garlic, curry powder, paprika and pepper.
When mixed, pour marinara sauce and the beef flavor boost into meat while stirring. Continue chopping meat until completely cooked through with no visible red.
To form the patties: Place rolling pin in freezer 10 minutes before using.
Preheat oven to 325 degrees.
Take dough out of refrigerator, roll out on to smooth floured surface. Sprinkle flour onto dough as well as the rolling pin.
Roll dough until 1/8-inch thick. Cut dough into desired size circles with a circular cookie cutter.
Take one dough disc and place a tablespoon of beef mixture onto it. Take another dough disc and roll out slightly larger.
Place second piece of dough on top of meat and press finger along the edges of the 2 pieces of dough to seal. Repeat the process to make desired amounts of patties.
Spray a cookie sheet with non-sticking cooking spray; place beef patties 2 inches apart.
Place in oven. Patties should cook for no more than 15 to 20 minutes, according to size of pattie. Makes about 20 patties.

What he's saying there is not at all wrong, I don't know why you guys find it so humorous.
Today Directv can't bundle, because they only deliver TV service. AT&T can't bundle very effectively, because they only have TV service in a small area. Combining the two will improve their ability to bundle, and therefore be more competitive with cable providers who have been very effective in winning customers via bundling.
I'm sure there were a lot of half truths (at best) during the hearing, but this wasn't one of them.
What about all the good folks who don't want bundling? I certainly don't.

Swansea preview: Crucial. Vital. Essential
Tactics Column: Arsenal's system prone to individual errors
After the final whistle on Sunday, Jack Wilshere slumped to the ground; his back turned away from the customary congratulations and commiserations from losers and victors alike, and stared motionless into the various colours of the crowd. The moment was captured brilliantly by Daily Mail's chief photographer, Andy Hooper. Arsenal

Man City preview: here we go
Thankfully there's a welcome distraction from introspective, shoe-gazing analysis as we have a game of something called 'foot … ball' this afternoon. It's the start of an extremely hectic and difficult schedule and today is certainly going to be a tough encounter. The champions, Man City, come to town, and

Snarling short and curlies
In footballing circles, the Christmas period is always talked about as being unusually hectic. In reality, when one glimpses the eight games Arsenal (potentially) stand to play between January 1st and February 2nd, that impression retards somewhat. As international football has increasingly interfered with the schedule, there is rarely true

Every four years I get the opportunity to continue serving you as your Sheriff. On Tuesday, June, 14 2016, I'll once again ask for your support in re-electing me as your Sheriff.
I often think about how far we've come together since you first chose me to be your Sheriff in 1996. Thousands of Community meetings, and child finger-printings at community festivals. Countless hours together at National Nights Out, united against the gangsters and thugs that seek to harm our neighborhoods. Introducing our Community Action Team, School Resource Officers, and other community service officers, paved the way for greater communication between your Sheriff's Department, and you.
Along the way, we've lost some of our Officers in the line of Duty, worked through some errors we've made, and just months ago, faced a once in a thousand year flood. But through all of those trials, we knew that we could depend on the support of the communities we so proudly serve. For us, there is no greater calling.

This is part of IEEE Spectrum's special report: Top 11 Technologies of the Decade
Ten years ago, photography for the most part meant film. We carried rolls of it on vacation, dropped it off for processing when we got back, picked up our prints, then put them in albums or scrapbooks or, more typically, in cardboard boxes. On occasion, we thought about sending a duplicate to distant relatives, but we'd often forget. Photographs were for documenting our history, for framing, for saving.
What a difference a decade makes! The vast majority of us haven't handled a roll of film in years—it's a retro novelty at best. Digital technology has changed the very nature of photography. Digital images are free and easy and can be instantly distributed. As a result, the vast majority of photos are no longer taken to capture special moments; they're used to communicate the ordinary, with less forethought than a phone call.
Of course, digital cameras didn't simply materialize in our hands a few years ago, although it may seem like it. You could trace their history back to 1969, when the charge-coupled device (CCD) was invented at Bell Telephone Laboratories, or to 1957, when the first digital image scanner was created at the U.S. National Bureau of Standards.
Or you could start in December 1975, when Steven Sasson, an electrical engineer at Eastman Kodak Co., in Rochester, N.Y., became the first person to pick up a digital camera and take a picture.
Sasson, hired by Kodak in 1973, fresh from a master's program at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, in Troy, N.Y., was a fish out of water. Kodak was essentially a company staffed by chemical and mechanical engineers, but in the early '70s it started hiring a handful of EEs to develop electronic controls for cameras, like exposure systems and motor drives. One of Sasson's first assignments was to check out the new 100- by 100-pixel CCD chip developed by Fairchild Semiconductor, to see if it would be useful for Kodak.

If you suffer from panic attacks due to public speaking, you know how devastating such attacks can be. You can't think your way out of such a predicament. And the realization that you really know this stuff doesn't help either when your courage is dissolving in the face of the World's #1 Fear. (To learn how to connect with listeners and feel less nervous, download our cheat sheet, "4 Characteristics of an Influential Speaker.")
In fact, just thinking about it may have you imagining the entire scenario in your mind ...
[Scene: Your Town, USA]
[Time: Now]
Today is the day of your big presentation, and you're a nervous wreck.
You've been preparing for the past month. The whole company will be there as you explain the marketing plan for the new product. You've been chosen to speak because your team has done all the hard work on this project. It's definitely your moment to shine. And yet you've been thinking, over and over, of all the things that could go wrong.
It's been a steady drip-drip-drip of anxiety since your boss left the company unexpectedly and you got the news you'd be giving the presentation instead. You've been sleeping poorly, because you've been dreading the arrival of . . .
As you drive to the office, your shoulders are knotted, and you're gripping the steering wheel so hard your knuckles are turning white. You're sure you're going to make a fool of yourself and sound like you don't know what you're talking about. You'd rather be anywhere but here, in the car, on the way to the office.
Drip. Drip. Drip.
As you enter the lobby, your familiar physical symptoms begin: heart like a hummingbird, breathing deep as a mouse. Your legs feel rubbery as you make your way to the cafeteria—the only space large enough to hold everyone. Now that you're there it's your hands: you can see them shaking as you pick up the remote control. Oh, yes—everybody is seeing that, for sure.
Uh-oh. You've just said your opening remarks and your voice is wobbly. You know everybody hears that too. You can't let go of the thought that the entire company now knows how much public speaking terrifies you.
A new and frightening thought arises: You're going to forget the talking points you've been preparing for the past month. Your mind is going to go blank!
That's it—you have to get out of here! But you can't do that because the CEO is sitting right in front of you. This presentation is important to him and your company's profits for the next billion years.
You're trapped. There's no way out.
You're in the pressure cooker now, for sure.
And through all of this misery, you're supposed to stay poised and professional: the picture of confidence.
What are you going to do?
If you find yourself in the unenviable position described above or something like that, try the 5 techniques given below. These are quick-fixes that can be remarkably effective in those last few moments before speaking when you need them most. Photocopy this list and keep it with you if you find yourself longing to disappear just before you have to speak!
But before you do anything, start to breathe more slowly and deeply.
- What's the One Thing? Focus on making the various areas in your awareness become a single area: What's the ONE THING you want to say to this group? Now marshal all your resources into relating to these listeners and saying it. Here are 10 ways to stay fully focused when speaking.
- Open the Emotional Gate: Rather than running away mentally from the speaking situation, accept it and open yourself up to it. Closing yourself off emotionally—blocking your emotions—is part of what makes you brittle and closed off from your audience. Instead, become fully present, part of this moment in your life. Live it and enjoy it.
- Facial Relaxation/Animation: Allow your face to go completely slack, devoid of any animation; lifeless. (Don't do this while talking to your boss!) Now allow your personality to flow back into your face. You should feel both relaxed and energized after your brief "rest."
- Move! Find any excuse to move to somewhere else: a task, a person, the bathroom, or to check the arrangements on stage. The concept of "embodied cognition" tells us that movement itself helps thinking. And you'll dissipate some of your nervous energy.
- Ground Yourself: Place your feet flat on the floor at shoulder-width, distributing your weight evenly. Feel the power of the earth beneath you. Here's the perfect exercise to use grounding to feel more confident. You are solid and steadfast, and energy flows through the ground into you. Now speak.
Remember that your mind wants an escape hatch . . . and that there is no escape hatch! Allowing yourself to be present at your own presentation is a remarkably effective way to reach out and positively affect the lives of others. That's difficult to do if you're living in a mental closet.
Key takeaways from this blog:
- Thinking your way out of a panic attack isn't possible . . . start breathing instead!
- Quick-fixes for panic attacks can be done if you only have 5 minutes to spare.
- Rather than trying to hide, engage with listeners. It'll make your job easier.
- Movement can help you think and make you feel less trapped.
- Use the earth itself (or the floor) to make you feel stable and secure.
