McDonalds. Subway. Panera Bread. The list of restaurant chains, retailers, and food service companies demanding antibiotic-free meat protein products continues to grow.
These vendors' promises of antibiotic-free meat protein on their menus comes almost two decades after the first concerns about the possible link between meat produced from animals treated with antibiotics, particularly for growth promotion, and human resistance to antibiotics first was addressed in regulatory circles. Study of the connection continues as does the shift in the livestock production industry.
Regardless of the lack of substantial science relating to the possibility of animals treated with antibiotics contributing to human antibiotic resistance, an even greater force is at play. Consumer demand trumps science leading to change. From the largest companies like Perdue and Tyson to individual producers, the call for antibiotic-free production has been heard and it is fundamentally changing meat production in the United States.
Antibiotic-free livestock production means shifts for producers and everyone in the supply chain. Producers have had to reduce the need to use antibiotics through changes in management practices, nutrition, and biosecurity measures. While producers adapt, the need for industry experts and resources able to evaluate the system as a whole and collaborate with producers to overcome production challenges they may be facing for the first time has grown exponentially.
While the shift toward antibiotic-free production has been underway for years, it has been a slow, careful process on the part of producers as well as those they do business with. Standards are not uniform across the industry and practices vary among species. This variability adds an extra layer of challenge.
Verification of compliance with antibiotic-free programs presents additional concerns. Each company or production system has its own standards and operating procedures when dealing with sick animals. Verifying those standards and procedures is often at the direction of the food service or retail customer for their particular antibiotic-free standards. In the poultry industry, those customers each have their own verification protocol. In the pork industry, the Common Swine Audit has paved the way with customers adding specific audit points to satisfy their antibiotic-free program requirements.
For veterinarians and producers, animal welfare concerns need to be addressed before beginning antibiotic-free production, so producers know what to do with a sick animal or bird. Having the answers will alleviate the amount of time the animal suffers or possibly having to treat the entire barn. That kind of treatment would negatively impact the grower's financial return because of being classified as normal production and no longer qualifying for any available antibiotic-free premiums. All animals treated with antibiotics must follow strict withdrawal timelines, approved by the Federal Drug Administration (FDA) to ensure a safe, residue-free meat product at slaughter.
There are nutritional products available to maintain production levels in the absence of antibiotics. Novus's team of experts in production and nutrition management, with foundations in science-based nutrition products, can help producers bridge the gap and reduce the need for antibiotics in production.
Project Horizon was developed to concentrate Novus's expertise and products, presenting them to producers as uniquely qualified and successful alternatives to fill gaps in antibiotic-free protein production systems.

Since we announced that the beta of Office 2010 has been downloaded by over 5 million times, it's been a busy week for the press. Despite this impressive milestone, which is equivalent to every man, woman and child in the city limits of both Paris and Los Angeles electing to go download a copy in the last few months, most of the articles (WSJ, Silicon Alley, et al) have pivoted around Google's entrance into the productivity market and the challenge to Microsoft Office.
So I did read with great interest two more articles which I think serve as a good alternate reads. The first article was Paul Thurott's, The Enduring Value of Microsoft Office, the second was Doug Henschen's InformationWeek interview of Kurt Delbene , 'We'll Beat Google In Cloud' . What's interesting is that both articles touch upon a common theme: Microsoft gets productivity. (my paraphrase)
It's simply what we do. With every release, we consistently raise the bar for productivity tools. Maybe we don't wear innovation on our sleeves enough. I believe it's because we think it's sort of expected if you are a leader. Along with leadership comes responsibility to continuously innovate your product offering. Exchange 2010's dramatic perf improvements; Office's OneNote or Social Connector ; SharePoint's Visio services or BI via PowerPivot are my favorite data points for innovation.
So while it's easy for me to agree with Paul or Kurt, I thought it might be more interesting to surface testimonials from customers of all sizes who either left Google Apps or considered it but said 'no' because, well…it's not Microsoft Office/Exchange/SharePoint.
"Frankly, the Google value proposition is cost based, and once you take that away, what's left?" – Rexel, Electrical Supplier, 30,000 employees.
"Many of the things you normally expect to be able to do at an enterprise IT management level were not available with Google Apps—things like the ability to easily manage groups and users." – Vinci, Construction Group, 4,000 employees.
"The Google applications just weren't robust enough to compete with Office Outlook functionality," – James Nolan Law Office, Legal Firm, 4 employees.
"Google Apps is not an enterprise-class solution. It's a consumer solution, and we did not want to risk our business on it." – Credit Immobilier de France, Banking, 3,500 employees.
"Google Apps is a square peg into a round hole" – Datatune, Software firm, 25 employees.
"Employees had difficulties with calendars and e-mail folders. Administrators and end users trying to get the services to work properly faced a steep learning curve, and there were a lot of help-desk calls." (sic Google Apps) – WJ Bradley, Banking, 500 employees.
There are more but you get the point.
As we get closer to the release of Office 2010 and SharePoint 2010 to the market, I hope the merits of the software will speak for itself and you will take the headlines with a grain of salt.

Bhavnagar Gujarat, Mar 29 (UNI) Bhavnagar University's vice-chancellor H C Trivedi today unearthed a scam of replacing answer-sheets in examinations of the University.
Acting on specific information, Mr Trivedi and the University's Registrar Ramsinh Rajput conducted a surprise check and caught Dr Abhay Chauhan and Dasrath Chauhan while they were writing answers for students at a private place.
The duo later replaced the answer-sheets with the help of five others. The gang was charging Rs 50,000 from each student for replacement of answer-sheets.
Meanwhile, Mr Trivedi has also ordered a departmental inquiry against three erring officials of the affiliated Shyamaldas Ayurvedic College and have suspended them.
Later, Mr Trivedi and Mr Rajput filed a police complaint against a former senate member Tinchubha Zala, G G Gohil, Dharmendra Acharya, Bhupat Solanki, all staffers of Shyamaldas Ayurvedic College, (who were suspended), Dr Abhay Chauhan, Ranjit Dodia and Dashrath Chauhan.
Police have arrested all these seven persons and filed an FIR against them under IPC 120 (b), 379, 381, 408, 419, 420, 465, 468, 469, 471 and 476.

Harry Potter and therefore the Childish Mature
Just what is the key of incredible and global achievement of your Harry Potter training books? How come they suit kids and a far more complicated concern why should a multitude of adults learn them? I think component of the solution to the initial question is because are penned from inside of a child's-eye see, by way of a certain impulse for childish mindset.http://grademiners.co.uk/research-paper-writing/ But just how can we answer the next inquiry? For sure one single precludes other.
The simple thing 1st. Freud reviewed what he called the "relatives romantic relationships," in which a fresh kids, disappointed with its ordinary family home and families, invents a fairy story in which it is secretly of noble origin, and may also be marked out as a good hero that is destined to spare the planet. In J. K. Rowling's publications, Harry is a orphaned child of wizards who were murdered endeavoring to cut back his everyday living. He life, for unconvincingly explained benefits, along with his aunt and grandfather, the unquestionably horrible Dursleys, who depict, I believe, his tremendous "actual" wife and kids, and so are represented which has a persistent, gleeful, overdone venom. The Dursleys are his a fact enemy. When he shows up at wizarding college, he shifts perfectly into a arena where every body, fantastic and wicked, identifies his significance, and attempts as well to shield or destroy him. A family romantic relationships is truly a latency-time period imagination, from the drowsy quite a few years anywhere between 7 and teenage years. In "Order within the Phoenix, arizona," Harry, now 15, is supposed to be adolescent. He spends much of the ebook getting excessively irritated along with his guards and tormentors similarly. He discovers that his latter part of the (and "precise") dad was not a good wonderful duty version, but a person who went set for will fit of annoying play ground bullying. Also, he discovers that his mind is connected to the satanic Lord Voldemort, thereby building him the main cause in some calculate for serves of violence his nemesis commits.
In psychoanalytic words and phrases, experiencing predicted his childish rage into the caricature Dursleys, and retained his harmless goodness, Harry now thoughts that rage as efficient at spilling outward, imperiling his neighbors. But accomplishes this necessarily suggest Harry keeps growing up? Certainly not. The point of view remains to be child's-interest. There exists no knowledge that replicate people on the verge of adulthood. Harry's very first time frame with a female wizard is extremely limp, rich in an 8-season-old's conversational maneuvers. Auden and Tolkien composed with regards to know-how of inventing "extra worlds." Ms. Rowling's whole world is known as a supplementary second whole world, made up of intelligently patchworked derivative motifs from all sorts of children's literature Andmdash' coming from the jolly hockey-stays class report to Roald Dahl, from "Star Competitions" to Diana Wynne Williams and Susan Cooper. Toni Morrison pointed out that clicheacute's survive mainly because they represent truths. Derivative narrative clichAndeacute's utilize young ones because they are comfortingly recognizable and quickly available for the child's very own capability of fantasizing. The important thing with this actual secondary marketplace is that it is symbiotic together with the genuine current earth. Special, in delusion and fairy stories, is focused on friends considering the inhuman foliage and pests, silent and invisible causes. Most fairy narrative writers hate and dread fitness equipment. Ms. Rowling's wizards shun them and use secret as a replacement, however their world is definitely a caricature of reality and he has trains, hospitals, classifieds and economical exercise. A lot of the real wicked inside the in the future books is resulting from newspaper rumor columnists who make Harry right into a doubtful celeb, which is the fashionable phrase in the opted for hero. Most of the remainder of the evil (except for Voldemort) is caused by bureaucratic disturbance in helpful issues. Ms. Rowling's miraculous planet has no place for the numinous. It is always crafted for folks as their artistic life are confined to Television set cartoons, together with the exaggerated (considerably more remarkable, not terrifying) reflect-worlds of soaps, certainty TV and celebrity news. Its principles, and all things in it, are, as Gatsby announced of his personal earth in case the lightweight acquired vanished using his desire, "only individual." No-one is trying to save lots of or damage whatever further than Harry Potter along with his best freinds and family. So, yes, the fascination for the children can certainly be explained by formidable earning a living of dream of get away from and empowerment, combined with the indisputable fact that the memories are comfortable, odd, just distressing just enough. They comfort with younger years anxieties as Georgette Heyer when comforted us versus the truths about the interaction relating to women and men, her detective reviews domesticating and quilt-wrapping passing. These are really good publications on their manner. Why would harvested-up women and men turn into obsessed by jokey latency fantasies? Comfort and ease, I do think, is part of the main reason. Childhood years looking at continues to be efficient for many of us. In a the lastest BBC online survey of your the best 100 "ideal says," greater than a quarter was children's textbooks. We love to regress. I realize that a part of the legitimate reason I read through Tolkien when I'm ill would be that it comes with an approximately whole absence of sex within the earth, and is restful. But regarding the truly great children's writers of your the recent past, there was clearly a compensating significance. There would be Andmdash' and is particularly a true a sense suspense, successful causes, poisonous pets in darkish jungles. Susan Cooper's adolescent wizard discovers his miracles forces and discovers all together that he was in a cosmic combat from wonderful and evil makes. Each bush and cloud glitters with strategy usefulness. Alan Garner peoples realistic countryside with malign, inhuman elvish beings that hunt persons.
Analyzing writers such as these, we seriously feel we are to be decide to put lumbar region in contact with previous portions of our heritage, when supernatural and inhuman beings from who we consideration we come to understand our sensation of effective and satanic inhabited a planet we did not look and feel we managed. Once we regress, we regress for a dropped experience of usefulness we mourn for. Ursula K. Le Guin's wizards occupy an anthropologically coherent modern world wherein miraculous truly does turn into a drive. Ms. Rowling's miracle hardwood has practically nothing in normal with these damaged or lost worlds. It may be minimal, and also on the school reasons, and dangerous only merely because she affirms it actually is. In connection with this, it will be wonder for our time. Ms. Rowling, I do believe, talks to a grownup group that hasn't noted, and doesn't care for, puzzle. They really are residents of urban jungles, not of substantial outdoors. They don't provide the skillsets to inform ersatz power from the real thing, for as babies they every day expended the ersatz in what resourceful imagination they had. In the same manner, a few of Ms. Rowling's individual followers are merely reverting towards the boy or girl people were once they explore the Billy Bunter literature, or invested Enid Blyton's pasteboard youngsters along with their own childish yearnings and dreams. An unexpected number of people Andmdash' together with all students of literature can tell you they haven't definitely lived in the ebook simply because they were actually little children. However, becoming taught literature commonly wrecks the lifestyle of guides. Nevertheless in the times prior to when dumbing along and ethnic medical studies not one person examined Enid Blyton or Georgette Heyer as they simply fail to now evaluate the great Terry Pratchett, in whose wit is metaphysical, who results in an active and radiant secondary world, who may have a multifarious wizard for formidable parody instead of derivative manipulation of recent motifs, who relates to demise with shocking inspiration. Who publishes awesome sentences. It will be the substitution of celeb for heroism which includes nourished this trend. In fact it is the progressing effects of ethnic tests, which happen to be as focused on hoopla and worldwide popularity as they are in literary value, that they can don't truly trust exists. It's all right to compare and contrast the Bronteuml's with bodice-rippers. It's end up respected to see and examine what Roland Barthes named "consumable" ebooks. There is certainly nothing wrong within this, yet it has minimal amount of with regards to the shiver of amazement we come to feel searching because of Keats's "magical casements, cutting open to the foam/Of perilous seas, in faery areas forlorn."

Home > Food Fitness Part One > Bread Salads
Bread Salads
Food Fitness. Nourish your body.
Bread salads are the Italian specialty of thrifty housewives who use up extra bread and make it palatable for a second go around.
The most famous of these bread salads is the traditional Tuscan summer salad, panzanella. Today, with diets such as the Mediterranean diet becoming increasingly popular, bread salads could be making a comeback.
Beyond health reasons, however, bread salad is delicious on its own merit. It has a wonderful coarse texture and fresh flavor. You can use bread salad as an antipasto or a side dish.
Alternatively, serve with a generous piece of cheese as a simple supper.
Shepherds and others who had jobs that kept them away from home for extended periods carried coarse loaves of bread that became hard and stale. They would use the stale bread combined with bits of dry cheese and chips of hard sausage, some herbs and either wine or vinegar that they carried in a pouch. The shepherds then poured this stew-like porridge over stale bread pieces, softening them and making a savory and filling dish.
Bread Salad Recipes
BLT Panzanella with Warm Onion Vinaigrette
1 thin loaf stale French bread
1/4 cup olive oil, divided
5 slices bacon
3 tablespoons red wine vinegar
1 teaspoon sugar
1 tablespoon chopped fresh basil or 1 teaspoon dried
2 large tomatoes, cored and sliced into thin wedges
1 head romaine lettuce
1 medium onion, chopped
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
Slice bread on diagonal into 12 (3/4-inch thick) slices. Place on baking sheet and toast in oven at 400 degrees, 15 to 20 minutes or until golden brown. Brush each one lightly with olive oil and set aside. Meanwhile, fry bacon in a large skillet until crisp, pour off all but 2 tablespoons fat. Drain bacon on paper towel.
In a mixing bowl, combine vinegar, sugar and basil. Set aside. Place tomatoes in separate salad bowl. Wash inner leaves of lettuce and dry well. Tear into pieces and add to bowl with tomatoes.
Heat two tablespoons of the remaining olive oil in pan with the bacon fat. Add onion and saute over medium heat, stirring one minute. Stir into vinegar mixture.
Pour dressing over tomatoes and lettuce and toss well. Season to taste with salt and pepper. To serve, arrange three slices of toast on each plate, ends touching in center. Pile salad in center of the toasts. Crumble bacon and sprinkle over top of each salad. Serve at once. Recipe makes four servings.
Pita Bread Salad
This is the perfect salad to compliment Pita Bread!
1 medium head romaine lettuce, torn
3 small tomatoes, diced
1 medium cucumber, sliced
1 small green bell pepper, sliced
One small onion cut into rings
6 radishes, thinly sliced
1/2 cup flat leaf parsley, chopped
1/3 cup olive oil
3 tablespoons lemon juice
1 garlic clove, minced
Salt and pepper
1 teaspoon fresh mint, minced
Pita bread halves
Combine lettuce, tomatoes, cucumber, pepper, onion, radishes & parsley in a salad bowl. Whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, salt, pepper and mint. Pour over salad and toss to coat. Serve immediately with warm pita halves.

Wagyu sandwich
Mina Seyahi
The original wagyu beef sandwich launched to much smacking of lips and chiming of cash registers at Selfridges on London's Oxford Street in April. At Dhs595, it instantly became the world's most expensive sarnie. Since Dubai will soon get its very own downscale version of Big Ben, it's unsurprising that a 'budget' Wagyu sandwich is now available at Le Meridien Mina Seyahi. A snip at Dhs150, it must be ordered 24 hours in advance, yet it only takes 15 minutes to eat. The few tender strips of mollycoddled meat (from Japanese cows, massaged and plied with sake and beer) rest on pillows of soft cheese, amid lumps of thick foie gras and juicy cherry tomatoes on a light, crusty baton of flour-dusted bread. While it's suitably elegant and rather tasty, it's an experience to cross off a list rather than to savour. A bit like shopping at Selfridges.
Lobby Lounge, Le Meridien Mina Seyahi (04 399 3333). Wagyu sandwich priced Dhs150.
Tuna with artichoke, wild curry and salsa
Aran is what the ancient Celts called bread. It's also a blink-and-you'll-miss-it bakery stuck out by the escalators in an unimpressive corner of Deira City Centre. But it's worth seeking out, because here you'll find deliciously indulgent open sandwiches on traditional German-style sourdough bread. The sour taste of the bread doesn't come from yeast, but from a lactobacillus, which lives alongside the yeast in symbiosis. Anyway, enough of the science, already – you've got a sandwich to eat. Two resilient slices of bread are lost under three generous toppings of creamy wild curry, chunky tuna with artichoke and a surprisingly spicy salsa, garnished with gushing tomato and crisp lettuce. It arrives on a ceramic slab, which is perfect for getting to grips with the stiff sourdough bread. Just imagine your knife is a Celtic flint-axe and get hacking.
Aran, Bin Hendi Avenue, Deira City Centre (04 294 0643). Tuna sandwich priced Dhs19.
Vada pav
Bombay Chowpatty
If sandwiches are the ultimate convenience food then perhaps the vada pav at Bombay Chowpatty is the ultimate sandwich. Buying one couldn't be simpler. Two windows open up onto the street; first you give Dhs3 to one man, then you take a ticket to another. He'll ask you if you want your vada pav spicy (which, of course, you will) and in a flash he'll hand you Mumbai's answer to the hamburger. A steaming hot bun, dusted on the inside with florid dried red chilli, plays host to a boulder of fluffy mashed potato, deep-fried in spicy batter and smothered in either chutney or mint sauce. Cheap, tasty and easy to eat – it's no wonder vada pav is the convenience food of choice among commuters all over the Maharashtra region of India.
Bombay Chowpatty, Karama (04 396 4937). Vada pav priced Dhs3.
Chicken curry with harissa date chutney sandwich
Le Pain Quotidien
There are, very famously, no famous Belgians. Of course that's not strictly true, there's Tintin, Detective Poirot, the Smurfs and Jean-Claude Van Damme, although the first three are made up and Van Damme's always been rubbish. At least you'll be able to add Alain Coumont to the list in a few years time. He opened his first Le Pain Quotidien café in Brussels 15 years ago and is now doing a Starbucks – that is, rapidly conquering the world without anyone really noticing. The secret's in the wonderfully moist, flavourful and wholesome bread: certified organic, sourdough, stone-milled and hand-kneaded. LPQ's chicken curry sandwich is an open-top affair. Five or six slices of bread are smothered in a chunky yellow chicken spread, garnished with some olives, gherkins and a little salad, and a chutney made from dates and fiery harissa. Sandwich conservatives may fume at the lack of a top layer of bread, but for organic produce, wonderful bread and excellent service, Le Pain Quotidien is hard to beat.
Le Pain Quotidien, Mall of the Emirates (04 341 0041). Chicken curry sandwich priced Dhs33.
Pastrami on rye
Tony's New York Deli
Being Dubai, this looks nothing like a real New York deli and instead resembles part of the food court at London's Harrods. But squeeze yourself into one of the booths, order the pastrami on rye and make a note to thank Time Out for the tip. Invented in New York in 1887, pastrami is the sliced meat that's been keeping New Yorkers fed and angry for over a century and 'on rye' is the only true way to eat it. Order your rye bread slightly toasted and choose which (or all) of the following fillings you want too: tomato, mustard, mayo, lettuce or cucumber. The standard by which all pastrami on ryes are judged is Katz Deli on the lower-east side of Manhattan – this isn't as big, but for taste it comes pretty close, certainly as close as you're going to get in the Emirates.
Tony's New York Deli, Village Mall, Beach Road (04 349 9034). Pastrami and rye sandwich priced Dhs29.95.
Bacon sandwich
The Irish Village
The IV's bacon sarnie doesn't push the sandwich envelope. It consists of two slices of thick, slightly toasted, plain white bread; fat chips, coleslaw, and a repository of juicy, twisty and sensibly lean rashers of bacon. If you're a pork-eater, there's so much to admire about this honest, straight-talking pub sandwich. We love how the bacon grease – the headiest, smokiest, saltiest type of grease available – infuses its way into the absorbent dough. We admire the Irish Village's merciless shunning of vegetables; after all, this isn't a BLT – let's keep such things for the salad crowd. Unless it's the morning after a big night before, when the bacon sandwich's famous medicinal qualities come into their own, there's no way this particular beast is good for you. But the sad truth is that most of the time bad for you tastes miles better.
The Irish Village, Aviation Club (04 282 4750). Bacon sandwich priced Dhs28.
Brazilian tandoori chicken
The phrase 'less is more' certainly doesn't apply in the case of this restaurant. Their sandwiches aren't the type you can pick up and stick into your mouth. Instead they involve doorstop-sized hunks of toasted white bread – almost big enough to down the Titanic – along with an allotment of crisp green salad and family portion fillings. This 'size matters' approach to the noble art of sandwich construction results in a knife-and-fork approach to sandwich consumption, which, while perturbing traditionalists, satisfies the hungry lunch breaker. That said, unless you want to spend the afternoon snoring at your desk, eschew the (otherwise excellent) steak sandwich – it's unreasonably huge – and go for the lighter tandoori Brazilian chicken option. With tender, spicy and radiantly orange fragments of chicken marinaded in yoghurt and coriander sauce, a sprinkling of cashew nuts, and a thick, spicy helping of mango chutney, the South American influence in this sandwich is neither immediately obvious nor an immediate concern, because this spicy sarnie will set you up for the day.
More, Garhoud (04 283 0224). Brazilian chicken tandoori sandwich priced Dhs29.
If you're a vegetarian, it's certainly the best option. But even red-blooded carnivores looking for a substantial, filling sandwich – and perhaps a break from cooked animal – would be well advised to check out the vegerama at the Towers Rotana's cute next-to-lobby sandwich bar. There's nothing anaemic about the moistly roasted and eminently fleshy slices of red pepper, tomato and aubergine. And the soft, crumbling slab of tangy feta cheese is boisterously beefy, to the extent that the whole sandwich has to be skewered through lightly toasted and seeded crusty bread, just to keep it from bursting at the seems. It's accompanied by a lightly dressed salad of springy leaves and blushing cherry tomatoes, but if you think that's veering dangerously close to yoghurt-weaving territory, you can always opt for the French fries instead.
Wraps, Towers Rotana Hotel, Sheikh Zayed Road (04 343 8000). Vegerama sandwich priced Dhs24.
Al Mallah shawarmas
Al Mallah
Underneath the iconic sign, which lights up the midpoint of Dhiyafha Road with its neon green light, three baseball-capped, green-shirted men brave outrageously hot temperatures to deliver delicious street food. The man on the right slots spinach fatayer the size of an outstretched palm into an oven, and the man on the left dunks falafel balls into a deep fryer. But it's the man in the middle, the guy sawing lamb from a giant slow-spinning shawarma that we're compelled to salute. He stuffs heaps of juicy, spicy meat into soft, warm flatbreads along with pickled turnips and cucumbers, a sprinkling of parsley, and the secret ingredient, a squirt of tahini that'll drip down your arm if you don't quickly fashion a makeshift tray from the paper wrapper. Take a seat right next to the main road at 1am on a Thursday night, get a couple of shawarmas and the outrageously over-the-top Al Mallah special fruit juice, and enjoy a unique people-watching phenomenon – drivers doing laps of Dhiyafha Road showing off their wheels, flirting at the traffic lights, and – inexplicably – voluntarily getting stuck in traffic.
Al Mallah, Al Dhiyafha Road (04 398 4723). Shawarmas priced at Dhs4.
Chargrilled steak baguette
Galloping Gourmet
Quite why the good people behind sandwich emporium Galloping Gourmet decided to name their restaurant after a dipsomaniac British television chef from the 1960s is a mystery to us. Perhaps they're missing the point – upon entering this distressingly bright homage to a French motorway service station circa 1986, there is nothing to suggest the influence of the famous chef at all. Rather, it's a riot of green and mauve pastels, a bright fast-food style interior and the incessant blaring of Dubaian radio. Still, we urge you to disregard this and instead focus on the raison d'etre of the place – the sandwich-laden menu. The chargrilled steak, mushroom and onion baguette arrives on a small wooden chopping board, artfully drizzled in mayonnaise and seductively squatting next to a huge pile of fresh, hand-cut potato crisps. Just one bite in, and it's clear you're in the presence of sandwich royalty. An explosion of flavour, juicy hot pieces of beef, covered in fried mushrooms and hot grilled onions slithered about within the gloriously fresh brown baguette, while the mayonnaise topping kept things nice and sloppy. Absolutely delicious.
Galloping Gourmet, Mall Of The Emirates (04 409 9000). Steak sandwich priced Dhs28.
And just outside the top 10...
(04 409 4899)
Carrefour? Have we lost our minds? Well, not exactly, because the Dhs6 brie baguettes at the hypermarket's generic Coffee Shop are to be lauded for their simplicity. It's just a fresh, crusty and very French baguette, three planks of brie cheese and a couple of leaves of lettuce. Simple, dirt cheap and absolutely delicious, especially after 15 seconds in the microwave so the cheese gets stuck to the roof of your mouth.
(04 399 8888)
Few sandwiches are as satisfying than the afternoon tea staple: cream cheese and cucumber. The Grosvenor House's Leaves, home to the best afternoon tea in town, offer crustless, precisely-cut versions of the cucumber sandwich in some of the cosiest, most cheerfully colonial, seating in town.
The Grind
(04 398 9304)
Don't know what you want? The Grind – a recently opened coffee shop in Bur Dubai – offers indecisive sandwich aficionados the chance to build their own. First you choose your bread, then your spread, then a type of cheese, and finally up to five of the 20 fillings on offer. It's a trifle complicated, but at least there'll be a filling available that you like.
(04 344 3505)
The fresh bread at Paul is out of this world. The sandwich fillings, sadly, don't quite measure up, but the tuna steak on brown ciabatta, with thick slices of grilled fish appetisingly surrounded by crispy lettuce and meaty slabs of tomato, makes for a great lunch.
Lime Tree Café
(04 349 8498)
The Lime Tree's sandwiches are heart-warming affairs; try their herb-covered black olive focaccias toasted to a crisp finish and stuffed with grilled vegetables. And then on to the dreamy, magical carrot cake…
Sandwich secrets
At the prestigious San Pellegrino Cooking Cup in Venice, Lyndsey Steven harassed some of the world's top chefs until she discovered the secret formula for making the perfect sandwich
Antonio Carluccio
'It's all about appetite – to appreciate a good sandwich you need to have the appetite for it. The sandwich needs to be moist. Good sandwiches would be ciabatta with mozzarella or marinated swordfish in olive oil with oregano. For a change, I'd go for a frittata – a small omelette with tomatoes and mortadella [ground heat-cured pork sausage with lard pieces, lightly flavoured with spices including ground pepper, myrtle berries, nutmeg, coriander and crushed pieces of pistachio nuts] on a toasted ciabatta sprinkled with olive oil.'
Antonio Carluccio is a television presenter, cookery book writer, and owner of 27 Italian cafés throughout the UK.
Tom Aikens
'Sourdough bread, toasted, with real butter. Frisee lettuce (not iceberg), a strong, sharp English cheddar – an authentic farmhouse cheddar – and a tart chutney. If you add a slice of Parma ham, you need to dress it with mustard and mayonnaise.'
Tom Aikens, the youngest-ever recipient of two Michelin stars, owns the Tom Aikens restaurant in Chelsea, London.
Norbert Niederkofler
'Great sandwiches depend on where you are – you have to use the ingredients particular to the region. If you are in the Venetian locality of Italy, it would be all about great salmon or tuna. For a truly great Mediterranean sandwich, you need porcini, salad and fresh tuna.'
Norbert Niederkofler is the Michelin-starred chef de cuisine at Tyrolean restaurant, St Hubertus at Rosa Alpina Hotel & Spa.
Reuben Riffel
'You need thick-sliced farmhouse white bread, real butter, a fried egg, bacon, mayonnaise and tomato sauce (preferably Heinz). Yes, butter and mayonnaise – you can see I'm not watching my weight… or, take fresh sourdough bread and smear it thickly with butter, crunchy peanut butter (Skippy) and finally, drizzle honey generously on top.'
Last year, Reuben Riffel won South Africa's Chef of the Year award, and his restaurant, Reuben's, in Franschhoek, is considered one of the best in southern Africa.
Kenneth Bryce
'In Australia I'd go for Devondale butter every time – butter is the key ingredient. The best sandwich is made from wholegrain soy linseed bread, real butter, Vegemite and sharp, powerful cheddar.'
Kenneth Bryce is the head chef at the Gianni Vintage Cellar Restaurant in Brisbane. He's a previous winner of Australia's Young Chef of the Year award.
Emmanuel Stroobant
'It all depends on the yeast in the bread – it's all about how the dough rises. I'd go for sourdough bread with paper-thin Parma ham, slender slices of firm, ripe tomatoes and a sprinkle of olive oil – but no butter.'
Belgian Michelin starred chef Emmanuel Stroobant is the founder of Saint Pierre restaurant in Singapore and winner of the 2006 San Pellegrino Chef of the Year Award.

Did I just C'thulhu the Potterverse?
prompt: joy
#insert 'stddisclaimer.h'
a mad and faceless god
by Incendiarist
there aren't endings, and any who says otherwise is either a liar or a fool, though it is quite impossible to be both
There are spells far more dangerous than any of the Unforgiveables, and far Darker. Spells hidden in obscurity, the grimoires of ancient Houses.
They're hidden for a reason.
Bellatrix Lestrange is thirteen years old and the star of her year, a prodigy of a duelist with a knowledge of the Arts to rival a competent DADA professor. They used to be competent, if they aren't anymore. Only a few decades before, the job was taken by only the best of the best, Unspeakables who'd been so good at their jobs they'd lived long enough to retire from them. But now, after fifteen years of unfortunate accidents, it isn't particularly a common application to make, and understandably so.
Bellatrix is a genius, a Slytherin more for her family than her personality; she doesn't care much for fame, nor infamy. Knowledge, that's her favoured drug, an intoxicant more powerful and more dangerous than anything the Muggles have taken to ingesting.
Fate has this girl singled out, has chosen her for this House. She'd have been wasted as a Ravenclaw, all studiousness locked in a laboratory days on end, hardly seeing natural light and living on spells to give energy and nutrient.
The brilliant ones will make their breakthroughs, will cure some ailment or invent some charm, but they will always, always destroy themselves in the process.
Bellatrix Lestrange is one of the brilliant ones, and she will be a supernova.
Bella, as she's taken to calling herself—beauty and war, intermingled as they tend to be—is fourteen now, and the closest she has to a friend is as much an outcast as she. Sybill Trelawney is a Ravenclaw, and that is what separates these two; Fate has young Bella singled out, has chosen her to take down the rest of the magical world when she goes. Sybill will fade, subtly, and long before her death, and she knows it fully well.
She knows most things, and Bella's purpose is among them.
It's ten minutes to Christmas morning, and Bella's family sings carols off-key, inhibitions all but destroyed by more butterbeer than could possibly be healthy. Bella casts a silencing charm and draws runes on the floor of the library.
She knows what her purpose is; no sense in fighting it.
Aged fifteen and grown into the family's brand of beauty, Bella is confident, dangerous, unstable as the singularity sulking behind the Veil in the Department of Mysteries.
It's her curse, and it's her gift. Which is stronger, though, that rests solely on her. Fate is certain, but the future is malleable.
Aged fifteen, and Bella is curious, terribly curious. A curse, and a gift. Double-edged swords are the most common sorts in these matters.
Her decision will be a difficult one to make.
Age sixteen, and she's made a discovery.
And with it, she's caught the attention of Others.
Exactly on schedule.
Seventeen, and a potion's completed after 1000 days of incubation. It's time for her to make her choice.
Curiosity killed the cat, but satisfaction brought it back.
Eighteen now, and there's a tattoo on her arm that moves with a will of its own, ink-that-isn't alive underneath her skin.
Nothing is brought back whole, and that chance was one Bella had been willing to take, had taken.
It's not easier to destroy than create, no matter the propaganda. Quite the opposite, in fact.
Destruction, proper destruction, takes a spark of genius, a sort of finesse, that creation doesn't. Creation is rarely elegant. It doesn't have to be to change the world. Destruction, though, that does.
Beauty and war, intermingled they will tend to be. Joy, as pure as it may come, will do so hand-in-hand with madness, and there's really no decision at all.
Knowledge is an intoxicant stronger than any other when it's in the right hands. Its highs are pure, and its lows more so.
There is nothing pure about the human race, neither Wizarding nor Muggle strands, and to think otherwise is naïveté at its finest.
The most naïve of all are the brilliant.
Fate is certain, the future is malleable. Fate to make the potion. Using it, however, that's not something written into the strands, nothing that was unavoidable. Using it, she chose. Curiosity is a curse and a gift both: it kills the cat and makes the rats to run in the walls.
Nothing comes back quite right, quite human.
Often, they don't come back at all.
Bellatrix is a supernova, all light and no darkness; all Darkness and no Light. There's a purity in the contradiction.
There's no contradiction in the purity.

Given the recent results on offense, the Rutgers offense understands its need for improvement.
As the Scarlet Knights enter the second half of their season with Homecoming against Illinois on Saturday at noon, the latest sting of a 78-0 shutout to No. 4 Michigan leaves a sour taste.
The unit knows it needs to improve as a whole, but offensive line coach AJ Blazek said his group in particular has to step up its game.
"There were a handful of things that went wrong (against Michigan)," Blazek said. "(Offensive coordinator) Drew (Mehringer) addressed some of it (Monday). A lot of it was in the blitz pictures, starting with us recognizing and communicating all the way across the line. One guy gets it and the other guy didn't or doesn't, some guys just get cut loose.
"The other one is you go out and get smacked in the mouth a couple of plays. You got to fight through that. That's where I got to do a good job keeping the guys' pads down and finishing, but it starts at the line of scrimmage. If you get popped once, you got to fight through that and push back."
Against a top Wolverines defensive line, sophomore left tackle Zack Heeman said Rutgers' margin for error was slim.
"They're big, athletic guys," Heeman said. "Well-coached, good pad level. So the smallest mistake here and there, whether it's footwork or technique or pad level, you're going to get exposed. So you have to be ready to play every snap."
The common theme at the bottom of the struggles on offense was communication — or lack thereof.
It starts with the offensive line, Heeman said.
"The biggest thing that we, as an offensive unit, talked about is communication," he said. "So it starts from the O-line, QBs all the way from the receivers, tight ends. Everybody's got to be on the same page.
"Offensive line — me, personally, I got to play with better pad level. But yeah, I think we're doing a good job. Just got to keep pushing and I think, eventually, our hard work will pay off."
How does Rutgers make the necessary adjustments and improve its communication?
"Just practicing it," said sophomore Marcus Applefield. "Just think about the worst situations first and then just block the base. Just communicate, get your calls right and then everyone's on the same page."
Heeman echoed that point, with an emphasis on second-level assignments beyond the defensive linemen.
"There can't be any gray area in terms of what we're trying to run, in terms of who we're working to on the linebacker combos," Heeman said. "But yeah, it's got to be a point of emphasis when we're on the line of scrimmage and more and more decisive. And when we're making our calls, we need to make sure all five guys hear it and everyone knows it."
As a utility man on the line with experience at guard and tackle, Applefield knows the responsibilities and attention to detail that come with all positions in the trenches. Communication starts inside at the ball and branches out to the rest of the offense, he said.
"It's definitely collective to the tackles making their calls, guards and centers making their inside calls but then all of us echoing it," Applefield said. "It's all collective, and offensive line's one of the only positions where we have one mouth."

In the past we've shared some of our favorite resources and guides for helping the color challenged and uninspired get their chromatic deliciousness on. As a designer, getting to choose the colors is often the part of the job I like the best. However, there are times when it's nice to be able to write some code to help make some of the decisions for you.
One of my favorite implementations of using programming to supplement the color picking process was done by the clever Canadians over at Dabble DB. All you have to do is upload your logo and their application will automatically pick the colors based on the information contained in the image and create a theme for their web app that will match the logo.
It's an impressive feature that helps the user focus on getting things done rather than worry over the details. While I won't be going into all of the ideas they used to implement their feature in this article, I do want to take some time to talk about how you can get a legible contrasting foreground color for a piece of text when given a specific background color.

Research to be produced by federal officials this month will trigger fresh debate about media ownership reform, even though the Abbott government is playing down the prospects of immediate action.
The communications minister, Malcolm Turnbull, had planned to release a discussion paper this month canvassing specific options for media reform, but that idea has been shelved.
Instead, Turnbull's department will produce research outlining the history of ownership controls in this country. That work is expected to be made public the week after the budget, renewing the debate about media regulation.
Australia has one of the most concentrated media markets in the developed world in terms of ownership.
Turnbull has flagged future policy change that would mean an end to the platform-specific ownership rules dealing with newspapers and radio and television.
Australian broadcasting regulations prohibit a person controlling a commercial television licence, a commercial radio licence and a newspaper in the same area. A single owner cannot control commercial television licences reaching more than 75% of the Australian population.
Turnbull argues that technological change – meaning the rise of the internet and subscription television – has effectively rendered the regulatory framework redundant.
But the signal from Turnbull this year that he intended to deregulate the ownership landscape triggered an almost immediate backlash from the government's regional MPs. Turnbull was forced to give public assurances that any new regime would include local content rules forcing regional broadcasters to produce local news.
The prime minister has said he does not intend to proceed with media reform unless there is a consensus view within the industry. Consultations with media executives continue.
The government would also have to run the gauntlet of the post-July Senate on media ownership. Based on their statements to date, deregulation would likely be supported by incoming crossbenchers Bob Day (Family First) and David Leyonhjelm (Liberal Democratic party) and possibly Nick Xenophon (Independent, South Australia) – but not by the Palmer United party bloc, or the Democratic Labor party senator John Madigan.
Labor came badly unstuck in 2013 by attempting via a reform package to force the media to uphold its own professional standards through an enhanced press council; and by proposing that future media mergers be governed by a public interest test and a new regulator.
Those proposals sparked a visceral industry backlash, and News Corp publications campaigned against Labor in the leadup to the federal election. News Corporation, owned by Rupert Murdoch, is the dominant print media player in Australia.
Some industry analysts believe further deregulation of the ownership regime will lead to further concentration of ownership – including the prospect that News Corp could acquire a free-to-air commercial television network.
But Turnbull argued on the ABC's Q&A program that News Corp could acquire the Ten Network under the current ownership regime.
"Well, news flash," Turnbull said. "News Limited [the previous name for News Corp in Australia] could buy Channel Ten today as far as the broadcasting law is concerned because they don't own radio stations in the relevant cities."
"The issue that News would face if they sought to buy the Ten Network would be with the ACCC – with the anti-competition laws – and there is nobody canvassing any possible changes to that."
Turnbull tried to downplay the idea that deregulation would benefit the incumbents, including Murdoch. He argued that Murdoch had less influence today on the Australian media scene "than he has since he was, you know, a young man with a couple of small newspapers".
"We have gone from a period where Murdoch absolutely did dominate certainly the print part of Australian media and, of course, pay TV, but to a point where, because of the internet and because of frankly publications like the Guardian – online publications – we are seeing more competition and more diversity in our media than we have ever had in my lifetime, certainly."

Oprah Winfrey is working with Brad Pitt on the Dr Martin Luther King biopic, Selma. The TV mogul and star of The Butler is taking a behind-the-scenes role for the film that is being produced by Brad's company Plan B.
The film will focus on protest marches led by the renowned civil rights activist in Alabama in the 1960s and will star David Oyelowo as Dr King.
Director Ava DuVernay spoke of Oprah's involvement, saying she was passionate about civil rights history.
"It's a subject matter close to her heart," said Ava. "The producers are behind some of the most forward-thinking movies of last year and they are all coming together."

text: College: Vanderbilt Height: 6-3 Position: Defensive End Weight: 280 Class: Junior 40-Yard: 4.78 Strengths: Very good speed...Great size...Very athletic...All-around player who can rush the passer as well as play the run effectively...Quick with good closing speed...Very smart...Also a team captain. Weaknesses: Was not nearly as productive in 2004 (1 sack) as he was in 2003 (8.5 sacks)...Still had to find an ideal playing weight...Needs to be more aggressive...Streaky player who is either great or average. Notes: Led the SEC in sacks with 8.5 as a sophomore...Has added 40+ pounds since arriving on campus...Could be a workout warrior and certainly has the physical tools pro teams look for. Looks like a good 3rd to 4th round pick. Assuming he can add about 15 - 20 lbs b/f training camp, he can play around 300 lb range. He could be a good backup to Glover and Ellis in the 3-4 and could replace Glover in the 4-3 rush DT or under DT spot. The fact that he can play the run with that size and closing speed, may be a could find. His size/speed ratio reminds me of Tommie Harris.

About the Property
Villa, 4 Bedrooms + Library, 3 Baths, (Sleeps 8-10)
Enter this property and you realize immediately you have ventured into the best Italy has to offer - exquisite views, sublime food, unsurpassed wine, and exceptional weather. As any Italophile will tell you, the Tuscan Val D'Orcia and Crete Senese (and in particular the area near Montalcino) is the most evocative and sensual part of Italy. There really is no better area -- as we have found in 20+ years of experience. Those pictures you see on the calendars, with the vineyards, rows of cyprus and hilltowns -- thats Val D'Orcia/Montalcino...
It is, after all, a United Nations UNESCO Heritage Site. And for good reason. The sheer beauty is staggering. This is the area that refused to allow billionaire media magnate and former Italian Prime Minister Berlusconi to buy a second (well, maybe 4th in his case) home! It is also the area where they filmed The English Patient, Romeo and Juliet, Only You, The Gladiator, Stealing Beauty, and Tea With Mussolini.
Amidst this splendor is set the beautiful and private property known as Villa Brunello at San Sebastiano. This centuries-old, independent, four-bedroom, two-bath, 3250-square-foot home has everything to make your Italian vacation memorable. Just five kilometres from Montalcino (two-and-one-half as the crow flies), this ancient farmstead boasts views to die for - from Mount Amiata in the south to Siena in the North. And it serves as the perfect point from which to visit the most beautiful villages and cities in Italy - Montalcino, Allesino, Pienza, San Quirico D'Orcia, Volterra, Florence, Montepulciano, Siena, San Gimignano, Monterrigione, Pisa, Cinque Terra, and Rome.
Or stop at the ancient Roman baths of Bagno Vignone and the monasteries at Monte Oliveto Maggiore and Sant Antimo,... or hike in some of the most beautiful scenery on God's earth. If you are feeling industrious, take an Italian cooking or language class nearby in the monastery where they filmed The English Patient. There are 2 world renowned Italian Language Schools very close by where you can take classes at all levels and varying degrees of immersion.
Located on two lush acres surrounded by exquisite villas and vineyards, this very special home has been lovingly restored inside and outside to ensure your ultimate pleasure. And better yet it is surrounded by vineyards, olive groves, and hill towns in every direction.
Open the wrought iron front gates to be immediately transported to La Vita Bella - a pea gravel courtyard welcomes you to your first view of the private church of St Sebastian and the verdant and generous Tuscan landscape. Once inside, your choices abound. Enjoy a beautiful outdoor courtyard just outside the French doors from where you will sip limoncello on quiet Tuscan evenings. Or lounge in the formal living room.with coved ceilings and gorgeous period pieces and memorable works of art and pottery. Read, contemplate or write in the quiet comfort of the study with views of the church and Montalcino up on the hill.
Be tempted by the breathtaking dining room with coved ceilings from which you will enjoy your Tuscan feasts. Next you will find a huge modern eat-in kitchen with all the appliances and tools necessary to prepare delicious Italian cuisine. Next to the kitchen on the first floor is an enormous living room/great room with eight-foot by eight-foot fireplace, two full couches, numerous chairs, and a large screen 48' plasma television. Just off the enormous great room and kitchen is a set of French doors leading to two wonderful lanais/pergolas adding outdoor rooms to your living space and which overlook the yard, vineyards and valleys - and by night the lights of Siena. Further down the hill, the pool and pool area is a haven in itself, with expansive views of the valley and numerous wineries. The house, yard and pool are very private.
Downstairs, there is also a full bathroom and a study/office/bedroom with fold out couch for extra sleeping.
Upstairs you will find four beautifully and authentically appointed bedrooms. Two have queen-size beds and two have twin beds which can be joined to form queen-size beds, where desired. Each bedroom has beautiful linens with at least 400-thread count sheets and pillow cases. And better yet, each room has breathtaking views over the Montalcino Valley. There are also two additional bathrooms on this level, very tastefully decorated.
In case you did not already know (and we are sure you did), Montalcino is the location where Brunello (by far the best wine in Italy, if not the world) is produced. And from Villa Brunello at San Sebastiano, you are ten minutes by car and foot to the best wineries and wine tastings in Italy. We have counted over 50, and by no means is that complete. Banfi, Barbi, Fanti, Tornese, Biondi Santi, Campanna, you name it, they are here. From $30 to $700 per bottle.
There are also wonderful restaurants, enotecas, and gelaterias nearby in case you get the urge to indulge off premises. Many of them have al fresco dining with great views. You will soon find out, it is impossible to find a bad meal. But for those times when you are just too sated to leave, you will find the pool, yard, and the outdoor and indoor living, dining, and relaxation spaces to be enchanting. This is what Italy is all about. You may never want to leave.

Manager info
Year Purchased: 2005
Why Montalcino SI, Italy:
We traveled to Tuscany and Umbria for 10 years and this area (the Val d'Orcia) around Montalcino is our favorite -- for the views, wine, hidden natural thermal baths, museums and restaurants.
The Unique Benefits at this Villa:
The towns, views, wine, hidden natural thermal baths, museums and restaurants. This is classic Tuscany - the scenes you see on all the calendars is basically the view from the house and backyard.

Originally posted on Mets Merized Online | Last updated 4/8/13
Adam Rubin of ESPN New York is reporting that the Mets will use a four-man rotation this week and that Aaron Laffey will make his next start next Tuesday, a week from tomorrow, against the Colorado Rockies at Coors Field. Essentially, the team will be using the off-day on Thursday to skip the fifth spot in the rotation this week. "Laffey is going to be the guy until we figure out when Shaun's going to be back, or if he's going to be back, or where we stand," Collins told Rubin. "There's no number in mind of how many starts. It could be three. It could be seven. I don't know." Until his next start, Laffey will be available out of the bullpen. Laffey allowed three runs and ten hits and a walk in 4 1/3 innings on Sunday and looked very hittable against a very weakened Marlins offense. In seven MLB seasons, the southpaw has a 4.40 ERA and 1.51 WHIP in 149 appearances. The Mets don't owe Laffey anything beyond one last start to prove he belongs. He'll have a tough go of it in Coors Field.

Didn't see it either. Maybe cause it's a late game??
I was just gonna post asking the same question...I don't see it on the DirecTV listing either. Anyone know?
I looked for it too, couldn't find it. I don't think it aired.
