Nasty European Culinary Delicacies Of The Day
Hákarl (Iceland)
Fermented, dried Greenland or basking shark. This tasty treat is prepared by burying the beheaded and gutted shark in a shallow hole in the ground for six to 12 weeks. Unsurprisingly, the end result is considered noxious to pretty much everyone on the planet aside from Icelanders.
Casu marzu (Sardinia)
This sheep's milk cheese has maggots added to it during ripening, because their digestive action creates an "advanced level" of fermentation (also known as "decomposition"). Some people prefer to eat the soupy results sans critters, while the stout of heart go for the whole package.
Lappkok (Northern Sweden/Finland )
This charmingly-named concoction consists of blodpalt--a dumpling made with reindeer blood and wheat or rye flour--served with reindeer bone marrow. Well, Santa's herd had to retire sometime.
Lutefisk (Sweden)
This dried whitefish treated with lye is beloved by Scandinavians and their American Midwestern ancestors (let's just say it's an acquired taste). It's traditionally served with potatoes or other root vegetables, gravy or white sauce, and akvavit.
Tête de veau (France)
You have to love that the venerable French culinary bible, Larousse Gastronomique, describes this dish of boiled calf's head as, "a gelatinous variety of white offal." Mmm. While there are many different preparations for the classical dish, it was traditionally served with cocks' combs and kidneys, calves sweetbreads, and mushrooms.
Haggis (Scotland)
Who doesn't love a cooked sheep's stomach stuffed with its lungs, heart, and liver, combined with oatmeal?
Nozki (Poland)
Literally "cold feet," this dish of jellied pig's trotters isn't as repulsive as it sounds. The meat is simmered with herbs and spices until falling off the bone, and set in gelatin. Think of how much fun this would be as a Jello shot.
Salo (Ukraine) (Bacon!)
The cured fatback of pork is actually quite delicious, and similar to Italian lardo when seasoned. It's chopped and used as a condiment, or eaten straight-up on bread. Plan your angioplasty accordingly.
Stracotto d'asino (Italy)
A northern Italian donkey stew, often served as a pasta sauce. Donkey and horse are eaten throughout Italy, but this particular dish is a specialty of Veneto, and Mantua, in Lombardy.
P'tcha (Eastern Europe)
A calves' foot jelly enjoyed by Ashkenazi Jews throughout this part of Europe. It's uh, high in protein.
Paardenrookvlees (Netherlands)
Culinarily-speaking, the Dutch usually cop grief for their proclivity for pickled herring and eating mayonnaise on their french fries. That's because most Americans don't know this smoked horse meat is a popular sandwich filling.
Zungenwurst (Germany)
This sausage is made of pork blood and rind; pickled ox tongue, and a grain filler, such as barley. It's available dried, or can be browned in butter or bacon fat before eating. And bacon makes everything better.
Smalahove (Norway)
Boiled lamb's head, traditionally served at Christmas. The brain is removed, and the head salted and dried before boiling. Because they're the fattiest bits, the ear and eye are eaten first. More fun than a wishbone.

I'm sorry but not even bacon can make some of those things better. There are so many good foods to eat, why do you have to go and eat something's head or feet? In jello? Ewww.ReplyDelete
I think I'll pass on lunch and just eat some soda crackers and ginger ale.
I'll gladly leave all this shit to Andrew Zimmern.ReplyDelete
Notice that the common denominator for most of this..."cuisine"...is that it originates from Scandinavian countries where it is cold and delicious foodstuffs can't be grown or easily harvested. One of many reasons I couldn't live in any of those countries. That doesn't explain the French, though.ReplyDelete
POTD: the early years...before the next "portrait" was seen on the FBI's Most Wanted list. Yikes.
I had haggis once when I was growing up as part of St Andrew's Day festivities. It was tasty until I understood what it was made of. Same with black pudding - we ate it fairly regularly as part of breakfast, proving Mike Myers's theory that most Scottish food is based on a dare.ReplyDelete
...and we as nation were recently freaking out about "pink slime" in our hamburger? Pass me the Big Mac please!ReplyDelete
- SiressYorkieMay 9, 2012 at 9:04 AM
Hey now, don't be hatin' on the Haggis. I LOVE it. LOOOOVE EEEEET and miss it terribly. It's no worse than what goes into your average hot dog, scrapple, or hog maw. I used to buy it frozen in my town and cook it for dinner with tatties and whiskey gravy. Yuuuummmm!ReplyDelete
My dad once had a soup with a little tiny octopus in it when he was touring Italy. He said that part didn't frighten him...what did was that the octopus only had seven legs.
- MargaretMay 10, 2012 at 12:13 AM
Now, c'mon...there is just not enough SJP to go around to make BOTH Stracotto d'asino AND Paardenrookvlees. More than twice. Her husband, Matthew Broderick, yes, but not her.ReplyDelete

Winter Ready
We are so ready for the winter weather! We've got beer soap, made right here in Norfolk by Kim at the Kalm Studio. So you can take a hot bath and get lathered up by a Petit Blond while sipping on the same (we've also got Dubbel for those of you who prefer a ménage à trois)! We've got pea soup in the weekends, to warm you up after the cold hike from the parking lot. We have branded hoodies to keep you warm and cozy. And since you've left the house already you might as well get your Christmas shopping out of the way and pick up a gift basket before heading back.
As hot as the summer was, we knew eventually it would make way for a chilly winter, so we have been waiting patiently since August for our newest release; the Quadrupel to reach maturity. Okay well we may have gotten into a few bottles along the way… but all in the name of quality assurance, we can stop anytime we want!
The quad is the last in line of the vaguely mathematical trappist styles, Dubbel, Tripel, Quad. You may have noticed a pattern here and yes this one is not for beginners but the 10.5% ABV will certainly warm you up inside.
We have brewed this Quad in recognition of the Belgian Saint Arnoldus. We greatly admire and appreciate the work he did in stopping the spread of the plague by brewing and promoting the consumption of, low alcohol, small beer. He ensured people stayed hydrated without drinking water contaminated with the plague. This holiday season we are celebrating our good health and clean water with our St. Arnoldus Quad.
This beer is too special to drink out of just any glass. That is why we are releasing a gold rimmed chalice we recommend serving it in. Just be sure to hand-wash it since real gold is not dishwasher safe. This new beer will only be available in bottles, therefore we won't be able to offer any samples for tasting, so to give you an idea of what to expect the brewers have written down their impressions (I know their job is so tough).
The aroma coming off the St. Arnoldus Quad is quite powerful and certainly something to take the time for. It is very fruity on the nose with a bread-like malt background and there is a noticeable alcohol presence. Most perceptible are berry, dark cherry, and raisin aromas.
The flavour matches the smell closely. The beer has a strong fruit flavour and sweetness up front with a well-balanced lingering bitterness in the aftertaste. Fruit is again reminiscent of cherry, raisin, and berry. A bready and caramel maltiness background with a hint of nuttiness and chocolate to be discovered.
The St. Arnoldus is full bodied and highly carbonated, but still finishes quite dry. A lot of alcohol warmth can be felt, especially as the beer reaches serving temperature.
Best served warm at 10-14ºC. Suitable for aging; in the cellar this beer will improve with a few years on it.
successful Anniversary!
Wow ("te gek!" as Jo put it)! Almost a week has passed but we are still in shock from Sunday, what a great turn out! None of us knew what to expect from our first ever hosted event, what if no one shows up? What if too many people show up? What if the beer is all foamy? What if the weather is bad? Despite our many worries and insecurities, our first event has set the bar high for those still to come.
The weather was sunny with a pleasant breeze. The beers were behaving… for the most part. And the give or take 500 people were wonderful! Everyone seemed just as excited and proud with our success as we are, many approaching us with words of praise and encouragement, there wasn't a frown in sight.
We would like to give a big thank you to the musicians for setting the mood, including the guests who simply couldn't stay away from the stage or the piano. We would also like to thank Shaka Bean and Magnolia Hospitality Company. We know it was a bit of a puzzle to be here.
Last but not least we would like to thank our amazing volunteer crew for all their hard work, we could not have done it without them! We know it was a long day for you guys and we are working on a better thank you 😉 .
1st Anniversary October Fest!
In an effort to thank our many customers for making our first year such a great one, we would like to celebrate the occasion with you at our very own New Limburg October Fest! Come enjoy some great beer, delicious food and excelent live music.
To make this event extra special we will be releasing a brand new beer developed and brewed by our newest brewer Andrew. It's a Dark Rye Saison and supplies are limited, so be sure to stop by for a chance to try it out while you still can.
Entry Fee: Free. Guests recieve a branded beer mug for a $6 deposit.
Prices: $2 per token; 2 tokens for 300mL beer.
See you there 😉

More and more stunning information have started emerging after the Delhi police took over the probe. The latest piece of news being that Geetika had to report to her employer, Kanda every single day after work hours. Geetika had accused Kanda of harassing her in her suicide note. [UPDATE: Geetika was frustrated, says Kanda; shocking secrets revealed]
The interesting clause in her appointment letter was brought to light by the Delhi police that reads that Geetika "has to report to the managing director (Kanda) on each and every day after work".
Geetika ended her life on Aug 5 unable to face the harassment from her employer. Kanda's anticipatory bail plea was rejected by the sessions court and has applied for the same in the Delhi High Court and has managed to evade arrest till now.
According to the additional public prosecutor Rajiv Mohan, "In Jan 2011, Geetika joined the company as a Director without any shareholding in the company. One of the service conditions was that she would report to the MD every day in the evening hours."
A senior police officer has been quoted as saying, "We have recovered the records of MDLR Group's Sundale Educational Society, of which Geetika was president and Chaddha secretary. In AKG Infrabuild Society, Geetika was appointed vice-president while Chaddha was director. We are trying to find out why Kanda was showering such favours on 23-year-old Geetika."
A source revealed, "We believe Geetika's laptop has many more shocking details and, as we recover more, we will be able to develop a clearer picture."

I am looking for trees, fruit or seeds. Does anyone have a supplier for this fruit tree?
I am looking for trees, fruit or seeds. Does anyone have a supplier for this fruit tree?
No supplier, but an interesting tree! Male and female trees, so at least two needed. Check out this site....
B&T World Seed appears to be selling them.
Yes. They sell the seeds by the gram and since the seeds are large it looks like it would be about 5-10 dollars a seed + shipping. The smallest packet is 14 dollars US. Quite a gamble.
I ordered seeds from them back in 1979. I had one come up. I donated it to the Fruit and Spice Park in Homestead in the early 1980's.
They've had only one tree for years and have been getting fruits and seeds so I can't speak to their needing cross pollination &/or being either male or female.
Now if I can just get down there to donate 2 butter trees Bassia latifolia.
Now I know a source.

British Gas, which hoisted its gas tariffs by 35% last week, is anxious about its income. Its parent company, Centrica, announced profits of £880m for the first half of this year, but it would be pleasant to be able to round that figure up neatly. Julie Cleary of North Lincolnshire might be able to help there. For British Gas has invented a second electricity account for her property and over the past year has been sending her unfriendly letters, addressed to The Occupier, and demanding money for electricity consumed before Cleary moved into her home.
Each time Cleary has spent an average of 45 minutes on calls to British Gas and on each occasion British Gas has promised to cancel the account. But the letters keep on coming - along with a bailiff who tried to gain entry to her property. Now Cleary, whose first named account is in credit, has been told that her electricity supply will be cut off and she will be taken to court over an outstanding balance of £845 plus the costs of sending an engineer to disconnect her. "I've tried to speak to the signatory of the letters but there is no direct line and advisers in the call centre will not put me through," says her daughter Kate Cleary.
Involvement of the press office prompts the discovery that two supply numbers were set up when Cleary's house was built. When Cleary first rang about the phantom account it was found that the supply number and account assigned to her when she moved in was not actually used by any property, so she was transferred to the second supply number. "The first account was renamed 'The Occupier' and was then to have been removed from our systems," says a spokeswoman. "It wasn't and as a result our systems began to bill The Occupier." The rogue account has now been closed and Cleary has finally received an apology.

The Russian connection: See all our coverage | Read about our investigation
In 2002, when Congress passed the Sarbanes-Oxley act to tighten up corporate governance standards in the wake of Enron, it included a measure to protect and encourage corporate whistleblowers, people like Enron's Sherron Watkins. Business grudgingly accepted the law, while reformers like Taxpayers Against Fraud called the statute "the single most effective measure possible to prevent recurrences of the Enron debacle and similar threats to the nation's financial markets."
Apparently, though, the reformers didn't read the fine print: Big business groups managed to get enforcement of the new law vested with the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), a notoriously toothless agency in the Labor Department. Not surprisingly, OSHA hasn't given whistleblowers any more protection than it has to poor workers in meatpacking plants.
In a new law review article out this fall, University of Nebraska professor Richard Moberly calculates that in the first three years after Sarbanes-Oxley, only 13 out of 491 employees who filed complaints with OSHA found any sort of relief for their claims of retaliation and other repercussions resulting from blowing the whistle. Only six succeeded on appeal. Moberly concludes that, among other things, OSHA has no idea what it's doing and that—surprise—even if it did, the agency was underfunded and couldn't really handle the workload. The whistleblower provision is one of those great examples of big business touting its commitment to reform by supporting a tough new law while virtually ensuring that it will never actually have to reform anything.

Robot Rings NASDAQ's Closing Bell
An industrial robot performed the task, which marked the launch of the world's first index that benchmarks the value of robotics and automation.
Yesterday, a robot rang NASDAQ's closing bell, which is the first time a non-human has performed this task. The event marked the launch of the ROBO-STOX Global Robotics and Automation Index exchange traded fund (ETF). Appropriately enough, the ticker symbol is ROBO.
This ETF is the world's first index to benchmark the value of robotics, automation and related technologies. The fund invests primarily in the equity securities of robotics and automation companies. It seeks to help investors take advantage of the robotics trend as it continues to grow through capturing a representative portfolio of the industry.
The robot that pressed the button activating the closing bell was a UR5 model from Universal Robots equipped with a three-fingered Schunk gripper. A design advantage of this company's robots is that they can work alongside people and do not require safety fencing. If the robot comes into contact with an employee, its built-in force control feature limits the forces at contact and does not cause bodily harm, adhering to the current safety requirements on force and torque limitations.
The company says 80 percent of the more than 2,000 UR robots deployed globally operate with no safety guarding in the immediate vicinity of employees. In fact, here's one application with video.

AMD finally enters tablet market with new chip
Advanced Micro Devices on Wednesday broke its silence around its tablet strategy, announcing its first low-power chip designed for these devices.
Advanced Micro Devices on Wednesday broke its silence around its tablet strategy, announcing its first low-power chip designed for these devices.
It was just about a year ago that IBM, Samsung, ARM and others formed Linaro, the not-for-profit organization that aims to make it easier for developers to use Linux on ARM-based devices, and over the past few weeks the group has made several announc...
Advanced Micro Devices shot down rumors that it is pursuing an ARM license, saying it will stick to developing chips for tablets around the x86 architecture.
AMD posted gains in both revenue and profit in the first quarter, citing lower prices but higher unit sales of microprocessors compared with a year earlier.
Upcoming chipsets from Advanced Micro Devices will support USB 3.0, which could make it easier for PC makers to add ports based on the interconnect to laptops.
Intel may have made it to a 32-nanometer build process first, but rival Advanced Micro Devices has followed suit and is looking to make up some ground.
Laptops and desktops with Advanced Micro Devices' A-series chips will become available from PC makers this quarter, the company's CEO said on Monday.
AMD on Monday continued shuffling its senior executive ranks, appointing former Hewlett-Packard executive Mike Wolfe as its chief information officer.
The chip war will heat up as Advanced Micro Devices prepares PC processors to rival Intel's Sandy Bridge chips, which have already started appearing in laptops, analysts say.
Half the notebook computers and a growing number of desktops shipped in 2011 will run on graphics-enabled microprocessors as designers Intel and Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) increase competition for the units that raise multimedia speeds without add-...
Slip-ups by a competitor are usually good for business, but Intel's recent problems with its Sandy Bridge chips won't help Advanced Micro Devices to steal market share from its bigger rival, according to IDC.
Advanced Micro Devices' upcoming Opteron server processors based on the new Bulldozer architecture will become available during the third quarter, the company said on Monday.
Advanced Micro Devices on Wednesday announced a flurry of moves, including the departure of two senior executives, which analysts said was part of an internal cleanup effort as the company searches for a new CEO.
Deciding how much graphics power is required when purchasing a PC has never been easy. Investing in a standalone graphics processor from AMD or Nvidia is more often than not overkill for many office applications. However, graphics processors integrat...
Worldwide shipments of PC graphics products were flat during the fourth quarter last year, potentially hurt by growth in tablet shipments, according to research released by Jon Peddie Research on Monday.

HP OfficeJet Pro 8730
A smarter way to print for busy small business owners, combining speedy printing with scanning and copying, making it easier to produce high quality documents and images at a touch of a button.
HP OfficeJet Pro 8730
I've had a multifunction printer in the office going on 10 years now. It was a neat bit of kit back in the day -- print, copy, scan, fax -- when printing over WiFi felt a bit like magic. It's seen better days though and an upgrade's well overdue. This HP OfficeJet Pro 8730 looks like it ticks all the same boxes: print, copy, scan, and fax. (Really? Does anyone fax anything any more? I guess it's good to know the facility's there, just in case.) Printing over WiFi is more-or- less standard these days.
HP OfficeJet Pro 8730
As a freelance writer who is always on the go, I like my technology to be both efficient and effective so I can do my job well. The HP OfficeJet Pro 8730 Inkjet Printer ticks all the boxes in terms of form factor, performance and user interface.
Windows 10 for Business / Dell XPS 13
I'd happily recommend this touchscreen laptop and Windows 10 as a great way to get serious work done at a desk or on the road.
Windows 10 / HP Spectre x360
Ultimately, I think the Windows 10 environment is excellent for me as it caters for so many different uses. The inclusion of the Xbox app is also great for when you need some downtime too!
Windows 10 / Lenovo Yoga 910
For me, the Xbox Play Anywhere is a great new feature as it allows you to play your current Xbox games with higher resolutions and better graphics without forking out extra cash for another copy. Although available titles are still scarce, but I'm sure it will grow in time.

The Meeting
"Pheww....finally Mark has gone!! " She thought, realizing the smug expression on
Sherry's face earlier. So this was the reason why she was feeling so happy in the morning. But whatever the reason be, she sure was glad that Mark had left and thankfully, her boss hadn't seen him come or go. At least she hoped he hadn't.
Remembering her boss, she half walked and half ran to his cabin or rather the 'Den' as it was often called. Thinking whether to go in or not, she quickly made up her mind. Entering into the 'den' was a task in itself which many of her colleagues usually tried to avoid.
On entering, she just about stifled a giggle. Watching her boss march up and down the parameter of his spacious cabin was just too good. It reminded Sheila of a big Walrus walking around, flapping his long fin like hands and feet.
"Good morning, Mr. Wal .… Mr. Warner!!!" Oops, she had almost blurted out Walrus in front of him. Correcting herself right in time, she was indeed having a tough time stifling a grin. Attach 2 big teeth to his mouth and he would be in a position to attract any female Walrus. Going by the big belly he was used to carrying around, it felt as if the buttons on his waistcoat were going to pop out any second. Sheila could not help but remember the old song 'Pop goes the Weasel'.
"Ah," exclaimed the Walrus, "Miss Walters has finally arrived."
"Yes Mr. Warner, I have finally reached office on time. So if you are free, I was thinking if we could quickly go over the presentation once before Mrs. Smith reaches the office."
"Oh, So YOU even think, Miss Sheila Walters?" said my pompous Boss with a sardonic grin. God, if I could just have my hands wrapped around that think neck of his, I could wring all the life out of him.
I decided to keep quiet because I could understand his frustration as well. Both of us had been under a lot of strain lately as this campaign was gonna fund my promotion as well as a big bonus for all the guys working in the company. But I just could not justify the sarcasm in his voice.
"Let's get down to some business now, shall we?" said the Walrus, at the same time looking at Sheila straight in the eye.
After discussing the presentation and explaining to her boss the underlying concept of the presentation, the Walrus seemed to have been tamed so as to say. He just sat there with his eyes on Sheila and muttering something to himself; he just pushed his seat away from the table and said, "Let's proceed to the Board Room. Please call all the other members and we shall wait for Mrs. Smith over there only."
We had barely reached the boardroom when Sherry called in to announce Mrs. Smith's arrival. All of us got together to get the things ready and that's when the source of our 'Bonus' walked in.
Sheila wasted no time in scrutinizing her from head to toe. Being around 30 year's of age, clad in a well fitting Armani suit, armed with a Berkin bag, and a string of pearls endorsing her thin neck, she was beautiful in her own way. Going by the classy look of her clothes, there was no doubt in Sheila's mind about the status of this woman in society. " I bet she has a royal lineage!!! "
Steering her thoughts back to the situation, she realised that there was a presentation to make and that too, it had to be done well otherwise, she could wave her promotion goodbye.
Taking the name of her guardian angel, Sheila started off the presentation with a lot of enthusiasm and gusto. But seeing the expression on the Walrus's face, things somehow got out of control. The figures she had learnt for the presentation just flew out of her brain like a swarm of birds. No matter how much she racked her brains, she just could not remember anything.
" Crap!! This could not be happening to me", Sheila thought, disappointment creeping into her mind. "Why, o, why does this have to happen at this time only? Couldn't Mark have come at any other time apart from her BIG DAY!!!"
Stuttering and stammering for words, she could not help but notice the glare from her boss's side.
"Oh no, there goes the bonus and my promotion along with it," she thought
But then suddenly the smile on Mrs. Smith somehow made it all seem alright. It felt as if her guardian angel did not want this moment to get messed up. Somehow, the reassuring smile on her face did the trick. Regaining her composure all over again, and brimming with the same enthusiasm she had originally started off with, she completed the presentation even better that she had thought possible.
Finally, everyone stood up and started applauding and Mrs. Smith personally came up to her and congratulated her.
The news everyone was waiting for with bated breath came eventually. Our firm had scored a full 100 with Mrs. Smith's idea of the campaign and I could see the much awaited promotion walking my way along with the extra bonus.
"If only some one could see me right now", she thought, " they would actually be able to see 2 big dollar signs glowing in my eyes at the moment"
Snapping out of her reverie, she realized that the Walrus had just spoken to her.
" Oops, as usual she had been too busy dreaming to hear what he had said"

The globalization of eCommerce in 2010
Posted by Zia Daniell Wigder on January 4, 2010
The global recession brought with it many predictions of slowing – if not reversing – globalization. Media outlets reported on a decrease in cross-border initiatives and decline in global trade. This week's Economist suggests that, "'The end of globalisation' was a common refrain" among those looking forward at emerging markets in 2009; another recent feature in the publication showed a decrease in the number of articles mentioning "globalisation".
Yet when it came to eCommerce, there was little slowing of global initiatives in 2009. High-profile market retreats like those of JCPenney from Australia and eBags from the UK tended to come early in the economic downturn rather than late, and indeed the last few months of 2009 witnessed major online retailers such as Gap and Buy.com expanding or announcing their intention to expand into new international markets. Facilitators of international eCommerce like FiftyOne, Borderfree and International Checkout saw their client lists swell in 2009, with well-known brands like Nordstrom and Sears joining the crowd in recent months.
We tried to tailor our research over the past year to help companies sort through the different global eCommerce options available to them during times of tight budgets. Global Expansion through International Shipping, for example, provides a look at different global shipping solutions, while the recently published Market Overview: Global eCommerce Solutions assesses the global capabilities of over a dozen different eCommerce platforms. Within the next couple of weeks, we'll be publishing a report that looks at how the major markets of North America, Europe, Asia and Latin America
The easing of the economic downturn is unlikely to unleash a sudden global eCommerce frenzy: companies rightly continue to be cautious with any new global online initiatives. However, the belt-tightening that took place in late 2008 and 2009 proved not to halt international eCommerce expansion – in some cases, the downturn even propelled expansion as international markets looked more attractive than domestic ones. The interest in global markets is only likely to grow in 2010: look for an increasing number of online retailers and other eBusinesses to start expanding beyond the highly developed eCommerce markets of the UK

Reconstructive options after Zygomatic break during Teenage years? (photos)
I suffered a Cheekbone fracture in my teens. I'd like to have corrected some of the symmetrical differences. What are my options to improve my Eye shape symmetry and the 'wrinkling' under my eye which has become more apparent over the years? My damaged side turns noticeably red when it's cold, people have assumed I have a black eye, that's not a look I want. I'm not too bothered about the surgery scar lines, just symmetry. Thank you for reading, I look forward to the answers.

|mirrors, release publishing...again
|Thu, 19 Apr 2012 20:52:02 GMT
Hi all-- Please see: http://www.apache.org/dev/release-publishing.html esp the paragraph on "Distribution" sentence... ======================= Distribution The Apache infrastructure must be the primary source for all artifacts officially released by the ASF. The Apache Infrastructure team maintains the Apache release distribution infrastructure. This infrastructure has two parts: the mirrored directories on www.apache.org and the Maven repository on repository.apache.org. ===================== To me, this means we will use Apache infra and mirrors for the distribution of release 3.4, when that happens. -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------ MzK "Women and cats will do as they please, and men and dogs should relax and get used to the idea." -- Robert Heinlein

For these innovative architects, M home on the establishment of a modern home, make easy in the mountains. Located between the tracks, a modern roof of the house very cool sheets and resembles the car in shape and finish. The roof seems to float, sit on a glass floor.

Midnight: What If.....?
I smiled at Ana the followed Imira to the kitchen. "Do you think she'll be safe if she stays here? I mean those two are like identical. What if Ema is known among the hunters and they'll think Ana is Ema?" She didn't reply then I nervously asked the question. "Should we ask her if she wants to do it....?" Imira looked at me.
"I don't know Midnight." she said softly "We'd have to ask her but that's a hard thing to think about doing."
"I know but I think we should ask. But I just want to make sure that if she stays here with her sister she won't get killed." I shivered slightly remembering the day I was bit.

Cox-2, Survivin and Bcl-2 are frequently overexpressed in numerous types of cancers. They are known to be the important regulators of apoptosis. This study was designed to investigate the correlation between the clinical characteristics and the expression of Cox-2, Survivin and Bcl-2 in hepatocellular carcinoma. A total of 63 postoperative hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) samples, 10 adjacent non-tumor samples and 10 normal liver samples were immunochemically detected for the expression of Cox-2, Survivin and Bcl-2. A median follow-up of 4 years for the 63 HCC patients was conducted. Univariate tests and multivariate Cox regression were performed for statistical analysis. The Kaplan–Meier method was used to analyze the survival. Positive expression of Cox-2 (84.3%) and Survivin (77.8%) was detected significantly more frequently in the HCC samples than in the normal liver tissues (30% and 0, respectively). Bcl-2 was highly expressed in the adjacent non-tumor tissue. Cox-2 was positively correlative to Survivin. Survivin and Bcl-2 were significantly associated with the pathological grade of HCC (P < 0.05). Expression of both Cox-2 and Survivin was significantly associated with the poor overall survival (OS) (P = 0.0141, P = 0.0039). Furthermore, multivariate analysis confirmed the independent prognostic value of Survivin expression, along with tumor size and hepatic function. Cox-2 and Survivin were highly expressed in the HCC tissue. Survivin and Bcl-2 were significantly associated with the pathological grade of HCC. The expression of Survivin was an independent prognostic factor for HCC after a hepatectomy. Treatment that inhibits Survivin may be a promising targeted approach in HCC.

V. Babes University of Medicine and Pharmacy, Timisoara, Romania
PURPOSE: To analyze correlation between apnea-hipopnea index (AHI), maximal nocturnal desaturation (MND), percent of predicted FEV1, diurnal oxigen saturation (SaO2), smoking, body mass index (BMI) and age at patients with OS from 2 sleep labs from Romania: M. Nasta Bucharest and V. Babes Timisoara.
METHODS: 74 consecutive patients (November 2003 - January 2009) with OSA (AHI>5/h and FEV1/FVC< 70%), men, with smoking history were evaluated with sleep questionnaires, anthropometric measurements, spirometry for FEV1 and FEV1/VC, poligraphy and polisomnography for apnea-hypopnea index (AHI normal 0-4, mild 5-14, moderate 15-29, severe >30) and maximal nocturnal desaturation (MND). We measured correlations between variables for entire population and for subgrups (AHI=15-29/h and AHI>30/h, active and former smokers) with histograms, non-linear simple and multiple correlations, Pearson χ2 and t test(ANOVA).
RESULTS: 4/74 mild OSA, 16/74 moderate OSA, 50/74 severe OSA; 45/74 active smokers, 39/74 former smokers.Mean for 74 OS: age 54.7+/-8.8 yrs, FEV1 55+/-21%, AHI 51+/-28/h, SaO2 89.8+/-16.6%, MND 70+/-16%, BMI 35.7+/-7kg/m2, PY 39.5+/-21. There are significant correlations for 74 OS (p< 0.05, χ2test) between SaO2-MAD and SaO2-BMI. There is no correlation for moderate OSA. For severe patients are correlations between FEV1%-SaO2, MND-SaO2 and MND-AHI. Significant differences (p< 0.05, t test) between active (45/74) and former smokers (29/74) was found regarding mean age CI 95% [0.4-8.7], mean FEV1% CI 95% [-4.3-15.5] and mean AHI CI 95% [2-27].
CONCLUSION: Correlations between variables defining severity of diseases (expressed by AHI and MND for OSA and by FEV1 and SaO2 for COPD) are more powerful with severity degree of OSA (more correlations in patients with AHI>30/h). Active smoking is correlated with a higher severity of OS.
CLINICAL IMPLICATIONS: OSA and COPD are two common diseases that coexists in 0,5-1% of the population, with increased prevalence and awareness.
